Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Over or just getting interesting basketball tonight in minnie Apolis, Minnesota,
and Dallas is getting five in that game and a
chance to maybe bring it back to Dallas if you're
the Minnesota Timberwolves. But Dallas is getting five tonight. By
the way, in case you're wondering WNBA, Caitlin Clark the

(00:27):
Indiana Fever versus the Seattle Storm over under Caitlin Clark points.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
Marvin nineteen and a half, Paul.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
Twenty two and a half, Seaton twenty three and a half,
Todd seventeen and a half.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Twenty and a half for Caitlin Clark tonight, and the
Seattle Storm are four and a half point favorites against
the Indiana Fever. So we got basketball. We got Panthers
at the Rangers when the playoffs started. You know, of
course you've come here for your hockey insights. I had
the Panthers winning at all, and I just looked at

(01:05):
the latest draft Kings odds odds to win the Stanley
Cup Panthers, and then the Stars, then the Oilers, and
then the Rangers. Yes, my nickname was mister Hockey until
I realized that Gordy how was mister Hockey? Then I said, well,
just call me the great one. And then I learned
that Reno had that as well. So still looking for

(01:27):
my hockey nickname? Maybe puck Puckhead eight seven seven three
DP show. I'd love to go to the Rangers game tonight?

Speaker 3 (01:36):
So would we?

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Are we going to Rangers game tonight? Let's go?

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Rangermember. You have to go, though, I know I do.
I remember going to Ranger games when they talked about
the blue seats, and you didn't want to venture to
the blue seats because, especially if you were let's say,
an Islander fan or a Flyer fan. It was rough
going in the early eighties in there in the arena,

(02:02):
the world's greatest arena, Madison Square Garden. But uh yeah,
that was that have a whole different fan base that
I was not accustomed to growing up in a little
town in Mason, Ohio.

Speaker 5 (02:14):
Yes, Marv, Wait, you said the world's greatest arena. No know,
it's the world's most famous.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Oh, okay, world's most famous.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
I don't know what the greatest arena is the garden, Okay.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
And it's interesting though, when and this is a side topic.
But when we think of certain stadiums, you know Yankee
stadiums in the Bronx, uh, you know the Rose Bulls
in Pasadena. Like there's certain places that you know only
because of where that arena or stadium is. Like Inglewood.

(02:44):
I didn't know anything about Inglewood, but I knew that
the you know, fabulous Forum was there, and I'd be like, yeah,
the Inglewood, the wood be Forum. Yeah, Pauline.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
When I was like eight years old and I was
watching Laker games because they were always like pearls, I
always thought Inglewoods, that sounds like a beautiful place. I
wonder if that's where Magic Johnson lives. That's where James
Worthy must live there, right.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
At the stadium. They all live right there.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Community Foxboro, that must be right on the water in Boston.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
People don't even know how to spell Foxborough correctly. Could
be b O r O or b O r O
U g H Foxborough. But you only think of Foxborough
because of the Patriots.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
The Detroit Pistons, that new stadium, the new arena in Auburn.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
On the palace, it was a palace at Auburn Hills Hills.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Always you always think it's gotta be nice.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yes, yeah, how about that, We're gonna go to the
palace in Auburn Hills. No idea how far Auburn Hills
was outside of Detroit. But it wasn't a palace either. Yes,
Mark the Mark Price Calves that were really good. Old
Richfield College, that's right.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
I was like, all right, Richfield, Ohio. I was like,
why do they play there in there? Cleveland?

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yes, and I'm familiar with Cleveland. I didn't know where
Richfield was. Yes.

Speaker 6 (04:01):
Foxboro Stadium, Yeah, f O x B O r O
was in Foxboro, Massachusetts.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
F O x b O r.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
O U g h.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
I love that, love that purpose.

Speaker 6 (04:15):
Yes, So when you go to Foxboro station because you're
taking the train or the T or.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Whatever, that's fox B O r O. But the town
is O U g h. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
Paul pat Summer I used to say, welcome to Irving, Texas,
home of the Dallas Cowboys, like maybe seven years old.
Why would it be the Dallas.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Say the Irving Cowboys. Yeah, Irving Cowboys, Dallas Cowboys in Irving, Texas, Irving,
and I didn't know where Irving was. Get to Dallas.
Where's Irving? Right outside of Dallas? Where we could afford
the stadium. Any other places that you think of where
you think of that city, that town, and then you

(04:57):
think of I mean Lambeau, you know with the Packers.
I think the.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
Teams in South Florida are the toughest to know what
city they're actually in, because a Miami team might not
be anywhere near Miami, like a baseball team could be
twenty five miles away from Miami.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yeah, well the Dolphins, they played out that hard rock stadium.
Joe Robbie, Jill ro Player, Yeah, et cetera, etc. Etc. Yeah. Yeah,
just certain places where growing up you knew them only
because of the association with a sports team. Yes, Mark.

Speaker 5 (05:30):
Also teams that were named after states, you didn't know
where they played. Also, I didn't know where Golden State was,
like the Golden State Warriors. I was like, where do
they play California it's called the Golden States? Or Texas Rangers.
Where in Texas do they play? Florida Panthers? Where in
Florida do they play? No clue.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Well, that's when you're grabbing the whole state. Even though
you have other teams in the state. We're like, oh,
you're the Miami Marlins. You know no, no, no, Now
we're the Florida Marlins. We went the whole state in
which is.

Speaker 6 (05:59):
Lane though, because it isn't your Your cities are like
to me, more rivals.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah you know that's what you want. Yeah. Yes.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
When I was a kid watching Dodger games on National TV,
they say welcome to shop. Welcome to shop as Ravine,
So I thought that was the name of the building.
I didn't know it was the area, like the ravine, Yeah,
the canyon, it was amongst Yeah. But then you'd watch
games like Welcome to Dodger Stadium, Like why would they
call it one thing one night, one thing another.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
I had no idea. I was a kid. All the
things that puzzled us when we were growing up. Yes,
East Ruttherford, New Jersey. Yeah, yeah, there's only one thing
to think of. Yeah, well there might be a couple,
but like maybe one positive.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
The Frank Sinatra gas station.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yeah, the uh what's that called the stop? What's it called?
There you go?

Speaker 7 (06:50):
Sure?

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah, there you go. Mine is named after bon Jovi. Now,
oh he's got his own restaurant. Yeah yeah.

Speaker 6 (06:56):
It used to be Cheese Quake, but now it's like
John bon Jovi, The last area and you go in
there and there's like stuff there.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
I think Springsteen turned it down. I think that he
was asked if he wanted to be a rest area
and be like, of all the great you know, honors,
you know, I'm gonna turn down the rest area. We
do have audio, uh, Todd away way way.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
The funny thing about that is when you get to Springsteen,
I tell you do bon Jovi.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
No, he's just talking about Bruce Springsteen. Turn it down.
You're supposed to go.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
Thanks are now I missed I missed the moment there.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
It's a good show. Yeah, still thinking about Left Goo Yeah. Yeah.
Adam Lefko kind of called out Todd.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
I had a John bon Joviy Lyne. That's why I
was thinking John bon Jovia, not Bruce Springsteen.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
John bon Jovi's son just got married to uh Millie
Bobby Brown from Stranger Thing. No, No, not Springsteen, yeah,
from eleven eleven from Stranger Things. They just got married. Yeah,
pul I.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
Would say the town or city that benefited most because
of a stadium, the Rose Bowl being in Pasadena. When
you grow up, you are only aware of Pasadena if
you're not from California. Because of that, and it's like
it's somewhere you want to visit even if you're not
going to a football game.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
But when you go to a football game. The first
time I went there, it was like you're driving through
neighborhoods and all of a sudden, it's like Lambeau when
you go to Green Bay. You're driving around and all
of a sudden, boom, there's a stadium. Same thing with
the Rose Bowl. Just that setting, especially late afternoon setting, awesome.
One of my favorite places to watch a football game.

(08:40):
Did you see this story where this According to Matt Hayes,
USC made numerous attempts over the last two years to
find a way out of their upcoming game against LSU.
Smart Move. It's going to be played in Las Vegas
on September first. Now. Lincoln Riley's the head coach at USC.
He reportedly tried to get out of this game. Tried

(09:01):
several angles to get out of the game. According to
Matt Hayes, Fox Sports even tried to help USC get
out of the game at one point. The network isn't
thrilled that USC's first game as a member of the
Big Ten is going to be broadcast on ABC and ESPN,
and of course playing somebody from the SEC. So Lincoln

(09:23):
Riley also ask his agent, Trace Armstrong. Well, LSU head
coach Brian Kelly also represented by Trace Armstrong, so he's
trying to get his agent to convince his client, Ryan Kelly,
to let USC out of this. None of it worked,
and according to Saturday down South, the Trojans are not

(09:46):
getting out of the game. It'll be held on a
Sunday night and there's no other competition there. This game
was scheduled for August to twenty twenty one. That was
four months before Lincoln Riley got the USC uh huh.
Matt Hayes goes on to say, with the College Football

(10:07):
Playoff expanding to twelve teams next season, Lincoln Riley probably
feels us he has a better chance of getting in
if they begin their season with an easier opponent. Okay,
but a win over LSU that would go a long way,
and maybe it's time Lincoln Riley showed that, you know,

(10:30):
he can play with the big boys and win these games.
Now you're going into the Big ten, so he's probably
saying it's already gonna be tough sledding. Now you're gonna
add LSU, and we would have played that game before
I got here, and now I got to play LSU.
Maybe I could get my agent to convince Brian Kelly
that he shouldn't have this game. Oh, that's right. Brian

(10:53):
Kelly's agent is my agent as well. I had a friend.
I had a friend have a friend who was saying,
you know, he had heard me talking about Bill Walton,
and he said, you know what, there's one good thing
that happened when Bill passed away, that he didn't have
to witness UCLA playing in the Big Ten. And I went, damn,

(11:15):
that's cold. He said, yeah. So Bill dies. That was
the day after I think the final baseball game for
the PAC twelve championship that ended in dramatic fashion. That
was the final sporting event for the PAC twelve. Bill
died the next day. All right, poll question for the
final hour, do you want to clean up some of

(11:35):
the previous poll questions? They are seating anything new some
of the messes?

Speaker 6 (11:39):
Yeah, laying around and then I got some phone calls
I put up there more likely to happen this season
Chiefs three, Peete or the Bears make the playoffs. Fifty
one percent have huh dot dot the Bears making the playoffs,
Bears already getting done.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Yeah, let's go. Yeah, expectations are high. Heck you Yeah,
how about that? I like that. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm
gonna lean towards the Bears this year. Sneaky good. I
am going to lean towards them. I don't know if
they're my team. Each year, I give you a team,
and I think this is when they make the jump.
Uh gave you the lines a couple of years ago.

(12:20):
I don't know who I had last year, Green Bay
making the playoffs, but I it might be it might
be the Bears. Scotty Scheffler. All charges were dropped here
felt like the more they investigated, the more the Louisville
Police Department was like, uh, hey, charges dropped both sides. Good,

(12:43):
nobody's sueing anybody. Okay, sorry, mister Scheffler.

Speaker 8 (12:50):
You know.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
The word that was used a lot was miscommunication. There
was a miscommunication, which is what we said from the beginning.
There was a miscommunication police and Scottie what went on.
But all charges were dropped, So not surprised at that,
but I think it started to fall apart there when
the police didn't have his cam you know, his body

(13:12):
camera on and some of the camera angles that you had.
And then what Scotty was saying, did he think of
as a police officer? Didn't know it was a police officer.
The police officer. Then, I don't know how you you know,
are going to try to take this apart so you know,
nobody gets hurt and you don't escalate it, and he

(13:32):
didn't de escalate it. If you're grabbing or dry you know,
jumping on the car, you're not de escalating something. He's
going into a clubhouse here. I'm guessing you would still
be able to find him when he went in there,
but all charges dropped.

Speaker 4 (13:46):
Can we play a game the rest of the year?
Would be fair to say the most surprising sports story
of the year. Surprising was the Scotty Shuffler being ripped
out of his vehicle the morning of a major and
getting arrested and then being back on the course same
morning to compete and said major. That to me, if
you said it two months ago, this will happen, you'd
be like, no, that's that's not a sports story. Can

(14:06):
anything top that for the rest of the year.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
I would say yes, because we have six seven, six
months to go. All right, we'll keep an eye on them. Yes,
thank you. That sounds like you're a sports center anchor.
We'll keep an eye on that. Back to you, Back
to you. Let me see Scott and Oklahoma. Hi, Scott,
what's on your mind today?

Speaker 9 (14:28):
Hello?

Speaker 10 (14:28):
Dan? Thank you for taking my call. Well, I wanted
to say you were talking about football a little earlier
and about Hall of Famers and Joe Amos and his
legacy was calling his shot as well as.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
What and.

Speaker 11 (14:47):
Up?

Speaker 2 (14:49):
Got a bad connection there, Scott, try this again, you know,
Let let me take a break here. We got more
phone calls coming up. The Clippers are paying ty Loo
and they're moving into their new stadium coming up next year.
I don't know if they're going to keep Paul George.
Feels like feels like, you know, Paul George is going

(15:09):
to end up elsewhere, or certainly that's the way the
wind's blowing here. It may be Philadelphia. Philadelphia has been
mentioned for quite some time there, but Tylu got paid
probably helped his negotiation when you realize that, hey, Lebron
would be you know, he'd be open to reuniting with
Tylo again. And the Clippers quickly said, nope, We're going

(15:30):
to make him one of the highest paid coaches in
the NBA. Well, take a break, we're back after this
Dan Patrick show.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
Adam Scheffer reported earlier this morning the Jalen Waddle and
the Dolphins got a new deal done. I don't think
he's making thirty million dollars a year, just under that.
So Dolphins spending some money with their wide receivers with
Tyreek Hill, and then they also have OBJ who's got

(16:37):
an incentive Leyden contract as well. And now what do
you do with ta tongue of Iloa? Do you sign
him up now or do you make him play out
this season? I mentioned some of these contracts that are
coming up. You have Dak Prescott, and it always feels
like the longer they wait to sign Dak, the more

(16:58):
it cost. Jerry Jones and the Cowboys. That's probably going
to be the case this year. Ceedee Lamb. He's going
to want to get paid commensurate to what Jalen Watto
got at least I'm going to imagine or I'm on
Ross Saint Brown with what he signed justin Jefferson thought
he was going to be, you know, a thirty million

(17:18):
dollar a year. Is it going to be more than that? Tua?
Are you going to pay him? And what's it going
to cost you? Or are you going to pay him
the going rate of fifty five million dollars? Brandon Ayuk
with the Niners, he's going to want to get paid.
T Higgins with the Bengals. He's quietly a great player,
he really is. You know, he gets lost in the

(17:40):
shuffle there with Jamar Chase, but I mean he's a
he's a big target there. He's a really good player.
Jordan Love and the Packers. Have you seen enough where
you go? All right? He's going to make eleven million dollars.
That's one million dollars more than Sam Darnold. Sam Donald
expected to be the starter in minnes So at least

(18:00):
to start the season. Cam Hayward with his Steelers also
looking for a new deal. Trevor Lawrence as well. Who
do you pay more? Trevor Or Tua? Who's shown you more?
And that kind of tricky And if you don't pay

(18:21):
them now, it just feels like you're going to have to.
If you keep them, then you're you're just going to
have to pay more. Here and Amari Cooper with the
Cleveland Browns as well.

Speaker 6 (18:31):
Yeah, see it's weird too because Tua seems to have
a way better team around him. Yes, he does, so
you wouldn't have to pay him more. But if he's
got those guys around him and he already knows the system,
you want to keep them.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah, but I don't want to pay him fifty five
million dollars or sixty million dollars. It just feels the
risk and the reward is there. I think he's a
good quarterback. I mean, is he kind of left handed
Rock Party. Both are on teams that have a lot

(19:05):
of weapons. I don't know if any either of them
do anything really remarkable. But Rock Party is going to
get paid two. Yeah, Paul.

Speaker 4 (19:15):
But guys like Trevor Lawrence and Tua, they're in that
category where they they get the big deal or no deal.
They're not in that middle ground of Baker Mayfield or
someone like that, where him get one twenty for four.
It's the Joe Burrow deal plus ten bucks or you're.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
Gone deal or no deal.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
Deal like Trevor Lawrence twenty one touchdowns, fourteen picks last year.
He was an average NFL quarterback, no offense. Yeah, but
he's either going to get the next big deal or
they're going to move on. Those are the only options
with him. They don't the guys like him who are
the top draft choices. You know, Mitch Trubisky, I know
he was not that great with the Bears, but they
decided to move on instead of doing anything. Uh, Jamis

(19:55):
Winston Mariota. They moved on, and guys like Tua see
there the full boat.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Or move on. Yeah. I'm still not sure what Jacksonville
has in Trevor Lawrence. He gives you the appearance that
he is that franchise quarterback. It's just there's there's athletes
who look like a star. They have star aura about them,
but that doesn't mean they're stars. It's just you kind

(20:22):
of go, yeah, Trevor Lawrence, and then you'll make plays
and then you'll go, yeah, he's a franchise quarterback. Then
there'll be other times when you go, man, I just
don't know, and you know, go back to Urban Meyer
and you had to go through that, so you got
to give him a hall pass for that. But you
got Doug Peterson, who's a former quarterback won a Super Bowl.

(20:44):
I just don't know if what are the expectation levels
for Trevor Lawrence and are they the same for Tua?
Because two is gonna throw for a lot of yarns.
He might throw for five if he's healthy, throw for
five thousand. The expectations tour way higher. Yeah, because of
the weapons, Yeah, definitely right. But because the expectations are higher,

(21:08):
should we expect him to get paid more because of that?
I would love to have the luxury of going to
the line of scrimmage and knowing I've got Jalen Wattle
and Tyreek Hill and oh, by the way, obj I
go to the line. I got an advantage there. I
don't think you know, Trevor Lawrence goes to the line
of scrimmage and goes I got an advantage here. Yeah, Paul.

Speaker 4 (21:29):
At Thanksgiving last year, the Jaguars were leading the division
and had already had a playoff spot, like they were
set for the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
You know, they lost five of their last six. Yeah.
So those are just some of the contracts here with
the NFL. You know, Dallas is in a really tricky
situation with what they do with Dak. It always seems
like Dak makes more money betting on himself. And then
you got CD Lamb, and then you got Michael Parsons.
Michael Parsons is going to want thirty million dollars a year.

(21:57):
He's going to say pay me. You know, TJ Watt,
mont Ceede, Lamb's probably gonna go.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
I might not be Tyreek Hill, but I'm damn sure
Jalen Waddell some of these other players who are getting
paid wide receivers. Can you afford to have three players?
So you got two that'll get at least thirty and
then you're gonna get or they might average out to thirty.
And then you're gonna have Dak, who's gonna get fifty

(22:23):
five to sixty million dollars.

Speaker 6 (22:24):
Yes, and then plus with Cede Lamb in his favor.
When you look at Dak's numbers with and without ceed Lamb,
they're very, very different. So it's like, if if you're
gonna pay Dak, then you need me.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
Yeah, but Mike is going there's nobody like me in
the NFL, no one. They're trying to compare me to
Lawrence Taylor. That's how good I am. And you know what,
you need me? You need this defense to be great
this year. All three have great cases to make a

(22:57):
lot of money.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
I just.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
It's weird. Dak needs cd Lamb. I don't know if
Cde Lamb needs Dak. Dak needs Michah Parsons. Michael Parsons
can be great no matter where he goes, but Dak's
Dak's gonna get paid. And also, and I thought about this,
who has more pressure going into this season? And I
brought up Dak, and then I forget who came on

(23:23):
and said, no, he's gonna get paid. If Kirk cousins
can get paid what he's getting paid in Atlanta. If
Dallas doesn't bring back Dak Prescott, Dak Prescott's still going
to make one hundred million dollars guaranteed elsewhere gonna happen.
Aaron Rodgers have the most pressure on him because what
happened last year. The clock is ticking. Kurt Warner just said, hey,

(23:48):
you want to be an all time great, He's got
to win another Super Bowl, which he would be at
all time great quarterback if he did win a Super
Bowl with the Jets, just because the amount of attention.
But the clock is ticking. Only got a couple of
years at best to win one more.

Speaker 4 (24:04):
Yeah, Paul, if I'm Cedee Lamb's agent, I point out
the fact that Jalen Waddle just got a big chunk
of dough almost twenty nine million a year. He had
seventy two catches for one thousand yards and four touchdowns.
Now he missed three games, but seventy two catches. Ceedee
Lamb had one hundred and thirty five catches for seventeen
hundred and fifty yards and twelve touchdowns. He almost doubled
his output.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean it's they got some
they got some really hard decisions there.

Speaker 6 (24:33):
And then if you're Justin Jefferson's agent, you look at
whatever happens with Ceede Lamb to say, and I'm just
a bit.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Better a couple of phone calls here, He's.

Speaker 4 (24:45):
Right, like Justin Jefferson last year when he was healthy
the year before, one hundred and twenty eight catches for
eighteen hundred yards.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
Yikes.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Uh Newton in Virginia, Hey.

Speaker 11 (24:55):
Newton, Hey Dan, thanks for taking the call. Fifty eight
years old, five foot ten and a mediocre one hundred
and seventy six pounds. So I'm going to try to
cram all of this in because part of what you
were talking about was set into my question. So twenty nineteen,

(25:15):
Kyler Murray, twenty twenty, to a Tongue of Ioloa, twenty
twenty one, Trevor Lawrence. We really can't say where any
of them are. I don't think any of them have
met expectations, and certainly Kyler Murray and to a Tongue
of Ioloa don't meet the eye test. I mean, when
you look at them, undersized seem to be underperforming by

(25:37):
comparison to expectation. Trevor Lawrence looks the part, but hasn't
taken the team to where they're supposed to go based
on the expectation. And now we're three years or better
on all of them. But the question because if you
don't pay them, where are you going to go? Who
are you going to get what's available? Because the quarterback
position really, in my opinion, has kind of come down

(26:01):
over the years.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
Well look at what the Vikings did. They let Kirk
Cousins go, They went into the draft. It's not ideal
because you're going to try to replace a quarterback and
then you go, are we going to find somebody who's
going to be better than him? And I mean, how
many great quarterbacks are there in the NFL? Like great,

(26:22):
and then how many are very good? And then how
many are good? It feels like we have five or
six great quarterbacks. Maybe you have three or four very good,
and then you have some good and then you have everybody.
Feels like there's fifteen quarterbacks that are in the conversation
of their difference makers and then you've got everybody else,

(26:45):
it feels like, And that's where I wish there was
kind of a happy landing spot for both team and quarterback,
that you keep the quarterback there, but you're honest with
him that, hey, we don't see you as you know,
top tier quarterback. We hope you get there. You want
to put incentives in there to get there, fine, but

(27:07):
you want to stay here, help us help you as well.
And look, I'm all for players getting whatever they can get,
but I don't like these situations where you price yourself
out of a situation just because hey, my agent said,
I'm supposed to get that. And that's where if you
could say to somebody, I mean, we go back to
Mitchell Trubisky, if he had taken no I mean, let's

(27:31):
say he was going to make twenty five million dollars
a year. Let's say it was a four for one
hundred million dollars deal. Okay, I mean that, that to
me is kind of fair to everybody. He would have
stayed there with the Bears. Baker Mayfield. Baker Mayfield took
the contract that I think more quarterbacks should should at

(27:54):
least entertain The Browns let him go. He got kicked
to the curb. Then he had a great comeback story
and it's not hey, I should be getting fifty million dollars.
He understood, he understood the market, he wanted to stay
in Tampa, got a good thing going, got a Hall
of Fame wide receiver there with you, and he took
a what would be probably a win win for both teams.

(28:16):
And I would hope more quarterbacks are at least aware
of that instead of your agent saying you got to
get more than that guy. Well two is not better
than Joe Burrow, not better than Justin Herbert. You know,
mahomes in there. I mean there's a few quarterbacks where
you shouldn't be asking for that. Yes, Mart, who do.

Speaker 5 (28:34):
You have as your great quarterbacks besides mahomes in Josh Allen.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Well, I'm going to still put Rogers there, and I'm
going to put Lamar there as a great quarterback. Joe
Burrow is a great quarterback. That might be where it ends.
I mean, Justin Herbert is He's almost like the West
Coast version of Trevor Lawrence's. He looks the part, he

(29:01):
sometimes plays the part, and then sometimes he does it.
And now you're going to have a coach who comes
in he wants to run the ball, and I don't know,
you know, does he all of a sudden become Troy
Aikman the way Troy played with the Cowboys, because Jim's
going to want to run the football. Will that help?
Justin So you have these quarterbacks that you're kind of

(29:22):
waiting and you're not quite sure, and man, does it
go away quickly? I mean, look at Russell Wilson. It
was like he's going to the Hall of Fame to
he's playing himself out of the Hall of Fame. How
did it happen so quickly? But yeah, I would say
there's probably fifteen quarterbacks where you go, Okay, you'd be
happy to have those quarterbacks.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
Yeah, Paul, I've got the quarterback pay for this upcoming season,
and there's thirteen players making forty million dollars a more
for this upcoming season. Then there's that middle ground of
guys like Baker Mayfield, Gino Smith, Derek Carr. We're in
that thirty million window and then it drops like a
rock down to guys like Jordan Love, Garter Minshew, Sam

(30:07):
Darnold at the ten million. Yeah, but Jordan Love's going
to be up there, Yeah he's but he's gonna go
a full vote.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
Yeah, he's probably going to be at least a fifty
million dollars a year. Guy.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
Years ago, we said there should be a separate quarterback
cap so it didn't affect the rest of your roster. Yeah,
what if the quarterback cap was somewhat like the NBA
with the max supermax, So you get the choice with
your quarterback when they come up for a deal, you
give him the max.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
What if my quarterback isn't good, let him go. No,
but I'm saying you're saying that that's separate. But let's
say my highest paid player is TJ Watt right now?
Can I use that salary exemption on? Does it have
to be on a quarterback?

Speaker 4 (30:46):
Well, I thought you could make the quarterback separate so
the rest of your roster is not completely.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
But let's make say my quarterback's making twenty million dollars
whereas Kansas City's going to get a break because Mahomes
is going to make sixty million. That doesn't hurt me.
I can't take advantage of, you know, my quarterback. I
can pay him whatever I want, even though he's not
deserving of that. So like the Cowboys, they could do
that with Dak Prescott, then they could have more money

(31:11):
with Ceedee Lamb and Michael Parsons. If we did, you know,
a separate quarterback cap.

Speaker 4 (31:16):
It would help teams not have to let players go.
Tyreek Hill would still be in Kansas City and could
keep teams together longer.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
Matt in Tennessee, Hi, Matt, what's on your mind today? Oh?

Speaker 12 (31:29):
I had a bit I was wondering maybe if I
could get it off with Prissy.

Speaker 9 (31:33):
Oh I heard the Left Coo interview where he takes
victory laugh.

Speaker 8 (31:38):
That's a books.

Speaker 12 (31:39):
Yeah, Okay, how about if Mike Titans have a better
season than his Broncos, we get to watch him actually
try to pop a champagne bottle. But if I lose,
I get I get chruggle women, So it's kind of
win loom.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Okay, So Matt and Tennessee says the Titans will have
a better season than your Broncos.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
That could very well happen.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Well it could, yea.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
That's I would not.

Speaker 4 (32:06):
Be comfortable with that bet because the Bronck was only
gonna win like probably five games.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
Everything works, Todd's not willing to take that bet.

Speaker 13 (32:12):
Mat Hey, Dan, Yeah, can I give me my girlfriend
a shout out?

Speaker 9 (32:18):
I just now got her watching your Guys show.

Speaker 4 (32:34):

Speaker 2 (32:36):
Oh gosh? Really yeah, Well what happened before the seven
months though? That's the tricky part. But shout out to Stacy.

Speaker 4 (32:46):
Seven months is an interesting time. You kind of make
a decision which way you're going, you know what I mean?
Are we sticking or are we gonna?

Speaker 2 (32:52):
This is comfortable? Yeah, Stacy, Stacy's mom.

Speaker 6 (32:57):
It depends on how old everybody is still true.

You know what, I got a full tank of gas
and we're hitting the road. I drive one thousand miles
to be with you right now.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
There's this day in sports history. I don't know if
you habit, Paul, but it is awesome, and I forgot
all about it. So I'm gonna have you give me
this day in sports history.

Speaker 4 (36:38):
Okay, I got a bunch. Bobby Low eighteen ninety four,
first player to hit four home runs in a game.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (36:43):
The Indianapolis five hundred was called the Indiana Sweepstakes Indianapols
Sweet Sticks back in ninetel.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
Again, I'm just starting to see it. Uh, Indiana Sweepsticks.

Speaker 4 (36:52):
Yeah, five hundred mile race became Indiana five hundred. Max
Flack and Cliff He's Coat of the Cardinals were traded
for each other between games of a double header. They
played one game for each team. Bay Ruth played his
final game in nineteen thirty five. Overight nineteen seventy, voting
for baseball's All Star gamers returned to the fans.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
Here's a good one.

Speaker 4 (37:13):
The La Dodgers became the quickest to a million people
in the stands in the nineteen eighty one season in
twenty two games. That was a year of Fernando.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
Velp Okay, this day in sports history, that's the most
important one. Nineteen forty six, Carvel Bama Roll hit a
ball that shattered the Bulova clock located atop ebbitts Field scoreboard.
The ball stayed inside the clock and Roll was awarded
a double. That hit is believed to be the inspiration

(37:45):
for Roy Hobbs home run in the novel The Natural.
I did not know that nineteen forty six Bama Roll
and that was at Ebbitts Field hit a ball into
the scoreboard. They only gave him a double. Yah see
Dony in South Dakota.

Speaker 9 (38:01):
Hi Donny, Hi Dan, thanks for taking my phone call. Sure,
I am sixty one five eleven and one sixty tight
one sixty five. Hey, I love when you have left
co On.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
I really do.

Speaker 9 (38:18):
He's great, but there's two things that irritate me when
he posts inside in the eight and that's uh. The
first one, it's like, you know, after he gets done
introducing everybody and he goes and I'm left go you know,
just you know, to me, it just seems so pretentious.
But the second thing is his dad dropped the turtle neck. No,

(38:40):
I my goodness, he's got a big torso and it
does look like a turtle.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
All right, thank you, Dony. All right, So he likes
left goo, but he doesn't like left goo that turtleneck
and the fact that he says that I'm left go. Well,
everybody's trying to find their signature, how they look, how
they sound. We love Leftgo. Very talent. Connor in South Carolina,

(39:08):
Hi Connor, Good.

Speaker 8 (39:11):
Morning, Dan, first time listener, longtime caller, checking in at
a six to one and a Beer League Softball two
oh five. Also a member of the Dead Dad's Club.
There on the ever electric topic of great quarterbacks, we'd
be remiss to not mention Sam Darnold, of course, or

(39:31):
as we like to call him, Donald Schwarzenegger. And in
my circle, so in the fantasy football group chat, I'm
in as any well adjusted thirty nine year old male
should be a part of.

Speaker 13 (39:44):
We've come up with a.

Speaker 8 (39:45):
Theory on Sam Darnold. So let me preface this by
saying we have zero intimate knowledge of the kind of
person Sam is. Nevertheless, we still live by a code
that we like to refer to as WWSD. So that's
going to be what would Sam Darnald do? And we've
created a completely false narrative about Sam and his greatness.

(40:08):
For instance, Sam always returns his stray shopping carts to
the parking lot return area, Sam also tips a minimum
twenty five percent on takeout.

Speaker 2 (40:20):
It's it's just who he is, Okay.

Speaker 8 (40:25):
Sam has never missed a great God bless you on
any audible sneeze within his earshot. And of course Sam
always brings fresh home baked goods for all of his
teammates on the first day of training camp. So I
think that we could all stand to be a little
bit more like Sam Darnald. So I am inviting you

(40:47):
and the Danette and your royal listeners, as commissioner of
the Columbia Fantasy Football Group, to help us bring the
wwsdd slogan to the masses.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
All right, we' connor, thank you, thank you, and uh
we we appreciate your time. Hopefully you need to get
out a little bit more. Maybe you get a hobby.

Speaker 3 (41:08):
We'd appreciate less time.
