Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
See what's pole question for the final hour of this
award nominated program. Let me update you.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
We got a couple of them running anyways. Anyways, Who's
your favorite right now in the NFC today? Buccaneers, Eagles, Lions?
Other Right now, the Lion's running away with that one
fifty seven percent of that vote. Eagles are down to
four point seven.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah, yeah, something's up, something's off. You saw that last night.
We've seen that so far this season. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
See, doesn't feel like we kind of do this every
mid season with the Eagles. Something's going on with Siria,
Something's going on. I don't seem what's going on there
with that. It seems every year this is a thing
that happens until they, you know, get into the playoffs
or something.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Well, but a couple of years ago we were talking
about is he going to get fired? Yeah, nobody's saying
is he going to get fired? But this could be
the down year they had the following after they won
the Super Bowl. But it just I don't know. There
just feels like, what style are you going to play?
You're gonna run the football, You're gonna pass?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Is it gonna be kind of a hybrid? Nick Siriani?
Is he two predictable? You know? Jalen Hurts. If you're
gonna ask him to throw and win a game, can
you Saquon Barkley didn't run last night in the second half?
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Yeah, Paul, No one's really talked about the Eagles defense
this time. Last year, the Eagles had the seventh ranked
offense in football. This year there's seventeenth. So you dropped
ten spots. Last year at this time they had the
number one defense in the NFL. Now it's twentieth.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
That's a big drop. Yeah, Marvin, if you're.
Speaker 6 (01:39):
Nick Sirianni, I don't think you can afford a down year,
especially what this is probably the most talented roster in
the NFL. And he almost got fired a couple of
years ago when he fired the OC, the AC, the DC, everyone.
So he can't afford a down year. He's lucky he
won the Super Bowl last year, like, oh, you know what,
this buys me a year? Yeah, so he can't afford.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I don't know if the Giants are any good, but
they're leading the league in swag, that's for sure. With Jackson,
Dart Cam Scattaboo not afraid to celebrate a little bit,
and that was a big win last night and they
were the better team. And Jackson Dart I like that
he extends plays. I don't want him to be a
tough guy, but you know, sometimes you get caught up.
(02:22):
He's twenty two years of age, and you get caught
up the emotion part of that. Scataboo's not afraid. The
defense is pretty good, and maybe they can be a spoiler,
and maybe that coaching staff can keep their jobs, keeping
their jobs coaching staffs. We make the segue into the
situation with Bill Belichick at North Carolina. Pat Welter has
(02:46):
done a wonderful job. He's all over this story. He's
a sports anchor WRLTV and Raleigh North Carolina. Pat, how
would you sum up what's happened the last couple of
days here with Bill Belichick and North Carolina foot ball?
Speaker 7 (03:01):
Yeah, Dan, it's an honor to be on with you
guys today. Happy birthday to Todd Fritz. And it's been
a whirlwind.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
You know.
Speaker 7 (03:09):
I felt like we were ready to break this story
as recently as Friday, Dan, before the Clemson game, and
we made a decision to wait a couple more days,
and I think that was instrumental in allowing our reporting
to kind of start the avalanche of information that's come out.
You know, I was able to speak to a lot
of sources at the Clemson game, and that's when I
(03:32):
really knew I had something. Dan was when there's sources
I've had relationships with for years on this story, but
when I was just walking around meeting people with direct
knowledge of the program that I had no relationship with,
and they were immediately volunteering information to me, things like
from a parent, my son has no idea.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
What's going on. It is a complete mess.
Speaker 7 (03:55):
So that's what we reported, and we're seeing the fallout
of it since, and we're seeing U and C make
direct action after some of the things that have come out.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Okay, but where are we today with this story?
Speaker 7 (04:07):
So yesterday, kind of the development was we're coming off
the statement.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Right.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
We have this statement that comes.
Speaker 7 (04:12):
Out late the night prior and it's very brief and
it comes from Bubba Cunningham and it comes from Bill
Belichick basically saying Belichick's committed to UNC football and UNC
athletics is committed to him and this was on the
heels and based on conversations I had yesterday with sources
multiple levels UNC decision makers. They wanted to call them
(04:32):
the noise, they wanted to call them what they referred
to as rumors, and those rumors were related to two
four seven Tar Hill Sports report about there being exit
strategy conversations and other reports of Bill Belichick looking to
triggering his own contract. Now, I spent basic all day
on the phones trying to run this down, and I
(04:54):
think it's clear. I think it's important to note that
I was told by multiple levels of UNC decision makers
and my colleague Brian Murphy that there were no exit
strategy conversations, that there were no conversations of Bill triggering
his own buyout. But I have to acknowledge right that
that does not mean necessarily that that did not happen.
Like I'm not in those rooms. These are what these
(05:16):
people are telling me. They're all telling me the same thing,
So there's an obligation I think to report it in fairness,
but I think you also have to acknowledge there's a
gap there. We can only know so much, and I
respect Andrew Jones who had that report, So I think
you have to just take the information and sort it
out with what you know and what you want to believe.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Is Bill Belichick coaching North Carolina against Cal a week
from Saturday.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
I can't tell you. I can't tell you.
Speaker 7 (05:43):
I just know that this is escalated day by day,
and I would say hour by hour to be quite literally, Dan,
minute by minute. I'll tell you this morning, I sent
an email to UNC Athletics trying to get confirmation of
a player to see if he was still with the program.
An hour later, the player I asked about has a
(06:05):
graphic ready to go on social media. This just broke
from running back Caleb Hood. After much thought, prayer and
discussion with my family, I've decided to retire from football.
My journey at you and c has been special and
I appreciate my time here. You can look on social
media if you want to see that full statement. That
is the player I asked about because of a tip
that I got there. Ironic in a way, Dan, because
this season, if you remember that first game versus TCU,
(06:28):
there was that one moment where everyone all the hype,
all the buzz, which was so real, right, this was incredible.
Carolina drives down their first possession of the season, Caleb
Hood scores the touchdown, the place goes bonkers. Skip Bayless
had some tweet about it being amazing. I know, I
was like, this guy's Nick Saban. I'm like, he's gonna
do it. They're doing it, you know, And it has
(06:51):
been downhill ever since. And it's fitting poetry that I
think now Caleb Hood, after this week, is leaving the program,
and obviously I'm going to look into more as to why,
but I think just kind of that paints a picture
for where we're at.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I don't know what role the media played in this,
the national media in hyping this up. It's Belichick, it's
North Carolina, it's the ACC, it's not the SEC or
the Big Ten. Certainly can win more than Mac Brown does.
When Mac would win six games, occasionally he'd win, you know,
a few more, go to a bowl game there. But
I locally, did you guys have the same expectations as
(07:26):
maybe the national media had on Bill Belichick?
Speaker 7 (07:30):
Yeah, we're We're all complicit in this in a way, right,
And I really don't fault My point of my story
was never to fault the people that decided to hire
Bill Belichick. I think you could certainly make an argument
they should have vetted this more right because they have
access to that information that nobody else has during their
hiring process. But yeah, I think we're all part of
(07:53):
the hype. You know what, how could you not be?
This is an incredible story. This is the story of
my lifetime, the biggest thing I've ever covered.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
And I grew up in New England. I'm from Londonderry,
New Hampshire.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
As a student at Emerson College, I got to go
to the Super Bowl versus the Giants.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
I asked Bill Belichick a.
Speaker 7 (08:11):
Question at the super Bowl, and then for me to
come to Carolina and then for him to end up
here and I'm covering him breaking news about his hiring
process after mac Brown was fired around Thanksgiving, which is
really when this all started for me. It's been a trip,
so I think, you know, I've tried to just kind
of I tell people I'm trying to bring the same
(08:31):
energy and the same passion and same discipline reporting that
I did to the hiring process, that I did to
the excitement into the fund and what I'm doing right
now to I guess if you want to call it downfall.
But there's no agenda here. I'm just trying to tell
people what I know. I've been covering this team for
four plus years. I know a lot of people, and
(08:51):
people are very, very upset. And when you look at
the results on the field, when you're going to be
the highest paid employee in the state going to be
one of the worst teams in all of college football.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
That's not me saying that, Dan.
Speaker 7 (09:04):
That is statistical fact, completely uncompetitive in Power four games,
one hundred and twenty to thirty three is the scoring differential.
People deserve to know what's going on and why, and
I think are reporting I shed a light on that.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
If I gave athletic department a do over and you
keep Mac Brown, what would they do?
Speaker 7 (09:26):
I think, Mack Broo, I think really it's diametric, right,
the difference between Mac Brown and Bill Belichick. And in
some ways that's what they were seeking, because you know,
Mac Brown came here second stint in Chapel Hill, so
respected national champion University of Texas has had some of
the best seasons Carolina football has ever seen.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Means a lot to this state, means a lots of
this community, and he.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
Treated people as such, and he welcomed the media as such,
but I think if you were going to criticize him,
you look at the downfall of mac Brown was James
Madison last year where they gave up seventy points inexplicable.
Then they go on the road loose to Boston College
and if I'm allowed to say, a kind of uninspired
performance at a minimum, And that was the nail in
(10:12):
the coffin for Mack Brown in his time here. And
you know, it was honestly probably time to move on.
They had tapped out, so what they wanted to do
was take another step. Everybody knows like in the world
of conference realignment, you have to be all in on football.
You can't be just a basketball school. So everything for
Carolina was well intentioned in bringing Bill Belichick in. It
just has gone spectacularly wrong in ways that I don't
(10:34):
know that anyone really could have foreseen.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Does Belichick have any media availability coming up aside from
game days.
Speaker 7 (10:43):
Yeah, It's been both convenient for him and maybe convenient
for us reporting on this as well. That this came
as a bye week and it was a bye week
before Clemson as well, And I think that's allowed me
to do a lot of work because like I've been
working on this since the spring, Daann, like that's when
the tip came in, and I'm just running this down
until I thought I had it. He is of media
(11:04):
availability on Monday. I'm gonna go that's going to be
an interesting experience for me. I'm certainly gonna try to
ask a question. You know, I've been coordinating with U
and C, trying to work with them throughout this. When
I have information, I'm not breaking it until I run
it by them for a chance to respond, and we're
working on that right now.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
We have a story that we were ready to break yesterday.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
And just to give you an example of how strange
this is, Dan, I am at the point now where
I can't even assume the people I am texting and
calling are.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
The people that they say to be. That's all I
can say.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
But at this point now, like I am questioning, like
that's the level we are at, because inside the building
in Carolina, they know there's a leak.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
They are trying to find it.
Speaker 7 (11:55):
And I am kind of ears and eyes wide open
to really everything and anything at this point. But I
can tell you that our reporting directly led to the
suspension of assistant football coach Armand Hawkins, and our continued
prying into that story led to the statement and the
official confirmation from U and C on his suspension yesterday afternoon.
(12:16):
And there's a key piece in their statement that they
say he will remain on leave as the Department of
Athletics further investigates other potential actions detrimental to the team university.
Those are what we are looking into. So that's all
I can share at this moment. But I think you
have something.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
There's more stories to come.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Okay, good luck with that, and trust your gut, trust
your instincts. But man, you know, nail it down. Yeah,
nail it down because they're this is serious stuff. But
that's why we do this. When you get these opportunities,
go for it.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
Yes, sir, I appreciate that. And uh, this means a
lot being on here with you. You're one of the
reasons I do this, so I really appreciate the opportunity.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Thank you, Pat, good luck. That's Pat Welter w r
A l TV sports anchor Raleigh, North Carolina. Yeah, all
of a sudden, you get a tip, then you get in,
and then all of a sudden you're in and then
you start to find out more and more, and that's
when people start questioning your reporting. You know, you're your local.
Why aren't you on our team? Why don't you support
(13:21):
the team. There's a lot of things that go on
when you do local reporting, especially at a university, whether
it's at you know, high end basketball or high end football. Hey,
we're all in this together. Why are you, you know,
reporting negative stuff? But you got to hold true to
what you're doing, and hopefully Pat has that opportunity. All right,
(13:44):
when we come back, we'll look at some of the
matchups here college football and the NFL. I was curious
the new and maybe improved Bengals going to Green Bay.
What was that point spread going to be? Yikes? We'll
have that for you coming up next year on The
Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific

back at what happened, what you need to do at
that minute, and also look ahead of what's coming up

That's right, Dan.
Speaker 9 (14:30):

Speaker 8 (14:41):
Listen to I Want Your Flex with Mike Carman and
Met Dan Byer on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts and

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Coming up, we'll tell you the most must win game
of the weekend. We do have a new segment, THEO
tw the Opportunity of the Week Who has the best
opportunity of the week, Not to be confused with the
most must win game of the weekend. I'm looking at
(15:09):
some of the point spreads here and I was curious
about the Bengals against the Packers because Joe Flacco's already
defeated the Packers and now going to Lambeau to try
to do double duty. The Bengals are fourteen point underdogs,
and I started to wonder about this. How bad has
Jake Browning been that you're going to bring in a
(15:30):
forty year old quarterback from a division rival. You're going
to give him two days to prepare with his new
team against Green Bay at Green Bay. That says an
awful lot about Jake Browning the Broncos and the Jets
in London. Broncos are favored by seven and a half.
(15:50):
Patriots on the road against New Orleans. There's a lot
of people that are climbing on the Panthers bandwagon against
the Cowboys. Cowboys are favored by three. In Carolina, Chargers
at the Dolphins. Boy, this is cross country tricky. Is
that a one o'clock game? See if that's a one
(16:13):
o'clock game? But Chargers minus four and a half against
the Dolphins, Yeah, that's early, no, boy, but this feels
like last call for the Dolphins. Gotta win this game.
The Rams against the Ravens. The Browns are getting six
in Pittsburgh. I thought it might be a little bit
more than that. But Browns with Dylan Gabriel there. Seahawks
(16:37):
and Jacks, See, I love this matchup. Seahawks are favored
by one and a half in Jacksonville. Who would have
thought that that would be circled on my calendar? The
forty nine Ers are getting three in Tampa. I thought
it would be a little more than that. And the
lines are getting two and a half against the Chiefs.
So those are the NFL games coming up this weekend.
(17:00):
I want to explain THEOTW Paul, Yeah, Opportunity of the week.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Yeah, it's pretty complex.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Player, coach, team that has an opportunity to make a
big jump this weekend, or a career defining moment, whatever
it may be. I'll give you an example. Florida football
just had a big win. They're at number five Texas
A and M. Their coach, Billy Napier, has been on
a perpetual hot seat. He can cool it off real
fast this month with a win against A and.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
M OTW, Florida is getting seven and a half. Yes,
in that game, All right, Marvin, do you have an
Opportunity of the Week nominee?
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Indiana football on the road against Oregon. It's not a
must win because they if they lose, they'll still be good.
But this is their opportunity to really put themselves on
a national level.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
All right, Indiana getting seven at Oregon. Oregon number three
in the country. I U is number seven. Todd. The
opportunity of the week end.
Speaker 10 (17:58):
I was going to go with Indiana, but I am
going to go with the Jacksonville Jaguars to show that
not only were they able to beat the Chiefs, that
they can take care of the Seahawks back to back
and they are a team to reckon with, not just
inn AFC South, but to be considered as one of
the top teams in the conference this year.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Okay, Jaguar, All right, then they would improve to five
and one. Paully, your opportunity of the weekend?
Speaker 4 (18:23):
I did mine.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
That was my Oh I thought you gave me a
first for instance. I'll stick an example. Yeah, Okay, Seaton,
do you have an opportunity of the weekend game?
Speaker 3 (18:31):
I think Texas has the opportunity to save their season
this weekend. So I'm not calling it a must win,
but I am saying it's an opportunity to write the
ship and get back maybe into playoff discussions.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
All right, Oklahoma is a one and a half point
favored Texas. I would probably say USC the opportunity of
the week make sure you win this game at home
and then you go on the road. You've got Notre
Dame the following week, and then you'll have Oregon a
little bit later on. You got to win this game.
(19:06):
If you want to be back in the top twenty five,
Top twenty, top fifteen, you got to win this game.
And Michigan is getting two and a half at USC. Now,
let's play the most must win game of the weekend.
That would be the mm W goot W Todd the
(19:26):
most must win game of the weekend is I initially.
Speaker 10 (19:29):
Wrote Penn State better beat Northwestern in Happy Valley, but
I scratched that off and I'm going with I know
the Rams are a good team, but it's last call
for the one in four Ravens in Baltimore. You cannot
fall down the well and be one and five. You
better find a way to beat the Rams in Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
All right, Seating the most must win game of the weekend.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
I have the Kansas City Chiefs. This is a most
must win game against the Lions. Their season is slipping
away and they need to write that ship starting with
this weekend.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
Marvin, the LA Chargers, you're on a two game losing street.
They have to snap this to stay afloat in the
AFC West.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
Paulie, I'm going with LSU football and specifically Brian Kelly.
They're hosting South Carolina this weekend, a feisty team. Then
they have Vandy A and m Bama Arkansas. They finished
with Oklahoma. It could go bad quickly.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
South Carolina is getting eight and a half at number
eleven lsu I would say the most must win game
of the weekend would be the Buccaneers are at home
against the forty nine ers, and the forty nine ers
are only three point underdogs with a banged up roster,
and you got a backup quarterback. You're going cross country
(20:43):
Tampa Bay. You want to be in the big picture,
you got to make sure you handle business here as
the most must win game of the weekend, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
How must winish is the Raiders game against the Titans.
The Raiders at one and four.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Well, I don't and I don't have any sources there
with the Raiders that could Pete Carroll not last the season.
So I don't know, I don't know what you know.
I mean, they shouldn't be this bad. They shouldn't be now.
Gino Smith has not played well at all. Ashton Genty
still figuring it out. Max Crosby is a wonderful player.
(21:21):
Bowers like you have talent there. You shouldn't have one
win here and be blown out in some of these games.
I mean, at some point do they go, do we
have Pete continue to be our head coach? I mean,
he's a Hall of Fame coach, but I'm always like,
(21:42):
if you can't play for Pete, He's always enthusiastic, energetic,
and so it can't be that you know, they're not
inspired here, but just feels like they should be a
whole lot better.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
Yes, Marvin is Pete Carroll coach coaching his way out
of the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
I have to ask Todd that, Yeah.
Speaker 10 (22:01):
It's valid points and Raiders been yet playing some football.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Yeah, you can have one bad year because that's all
he's going to get is one bad year. But I
don't think he's coaching his way out of the Hall
of Fame.
Speaker 10 (22:13):
Yes, yes to the gum was getting very stale for Peter.
A couple of wins going.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Paul or he could be eligible for the Hall of
Fame a year early at this pace.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Oh okay, I see what you're doing, all right. So
the most must win game of the weekend James in Texas, Hi, James,
what's on your mind today.
Speaker 11 (22:33):

Oh hi Dane Tyler. Miss misspelled your name.
Speaker 12 (24:32):
Oh no, no, no problem.
Speaker 13 (24:35):
Uh.
Speaker 12 (24:36):
I wanted to add a suggestion for Dylan and Frincy,
maybe they could get together on a cooking show, a
video cooking show. But before I get into that, while
I was on hold, my wife was cleaning upstairs and
she listens to music and Pat you were interviewing Pat Welter,
(24:56):
and she listened to the Eagles lieon eyes. You know,
a rich old man, you don't have to worry, and
that that I think that was a message from the universe.
But anyway, I think Fritzy and Dylan could collaborate in
the cooking show because I can't follow a recipe. I
need to see how it's cooked. So if Dylan could
(25:17):
teach Fritzy how to cook on video, I think it'd
be a good show.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
All right, Well, thank you, Dan, And I'm not sure
the eagles lion eyes? But did I miss something here?
What happened? What happened to the show? It's like the
entire radio universe is It's Fritzy Friday. Here Frank in Texas.
Hi Frank, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 14 (25:46):
Good morning, Daran, it's Franky by the way.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Hi Frankie, by the way.
Speaker 14 (25:49):
My bad, It's all good. Five seven three quarter shot
off Seaton at.
Speaker 12 (25:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (25:58):
So I wanted to come in on the Eagles and
a little thing about Derek Canner at the end if
you have the time. Obviously not too happy about how
the game went down last night, but completely understanding why
when it went down the way it did. Short weeks injuries,
and honestly, I got to tip my hat off to
(26:18):
camp Scattabo and Jackson Dart dark looks a lot faster
than I thought he was when he was escaped in
the pocket, and Camp Scattabo is definitely looking like he's
picking up where he left off in college. Hearing it
from everybody in my fantasy league, everybody you know, the
Eagles of Frogs, this and that I'm not ready to
sign the alarm Clay yet. You could easily see that.
Speaker 15 (26:41):
Jaylen Carter was definitely missed in the Giants game and
the Cowboys game. You can see that, you know the
impact that wasn't there when he wasn't there obviously, and
this guy is gonna get paid.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah when he's playing. But they ran
up the middle with a scataboo. And if you have
Jalen Carter, that's not happening. AJ and Florida, Hi, AJ,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 16 (27:07):
Hey Dan, Hey Dennis. They're going to try and make
this as quick as possible, kind of a two parter
to talking to the MLB playoffs. You got teams like
the Blue Jays, the Brewers, they're really good at like
situation situational hitting and avoiding the three true outcome that
has like plagued baseball for like the last ten years.
And absent of teams like the Dodgers, who you know,
(27:29):
can afford and choose to pay to, you know, bring
in a really good electric team, do you think that
we'll see more teams returned to that form of situational
hitting and hitting for average and OVP instead of that
three true outcome, like the Brewers and the Blue Jays.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I've been saying it for a couple of years, but
I said that about the running back and running game
in the NFL that eventually a team would decide, Hey,
we don't have that kind of quarterback, or we don't
have those kind of wide receivers. How about we find
ourselves a really good offensive line and we control the
line of scrimmage and we run the football that way.
(28:08):
When you come on the field, you have a certain
amount of time. Now that it almost you're speeding up
the opposition because they have to make something happen, because
when you get the ball back, you're going to control
the clock. I don't know if it's going to happen
anytime soon, but I think some of these teams in
these smaller markets trying to get big time stars. I
(28:30):
still go back to if you have quality pitching and
you have you know, timely hitting guys who understand how
to put the ball in play and as you said,
situational hitting. But I keep being told nobody cares about
batting average anymore. And I, you know, I realize that
you're going to be swinging for home runs and the
(28:51):
number of home runs, it's just the number of at
bats other than your home runs. What are you doing?
Are you striking out? Are you even putting the ball
in play? I still believe that if I put the
ball in play, and I have base hits and I
have a high batting average. I'm putting pressure on you.
I would build a team for speed, defense, pitching, and
(29:11):
you know, half of my games are going to be
in my ballpark, and I build a team with my
ballpark in mind. That feels like that's a home field advantage.
But it feels like everybody is just hey, let's just
throw hard and swing hard. Terry in South Carolina, Hi, Terry,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 14 (29:30):
Hey?
Speaker 17 (29:30):
Dan, thanks taking my call. Terry six foot two twenty.
I was calling to give you my OTW of the Week,
and I believe it's the Dallas Cowboys because they really
kind of need to win since the Eagles would go
in the other direction. They can get themselves up there
with them.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Yeah, with the Eagles down in the Cowboy, but you
can't lose this game, you know, as much as the Cowboys,
and certainly maybe surprising people off fend, don't have CD
Lamb back and you're going to Carolina. So they're favored
by three, and it feels like a lot of people
think Carolina is the team to take. Yes, Marv.
Speaker 6 (30:13):
The Steelers are also on that opportunity of the week
list to me, because they got to beat a bad
Browns team right now, their first place in the AFC North.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
They got to stay afloat.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
And aren't they only a six point favorite against the
Cleveland team that's led by Dylan Gabriel in his second start. Yeah, Paulin, Yeah,
that's right.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
And Steelers have Browns this week, Bengals next week. They
can put some distance.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
All right, Well, take a break, last call for phone calls?
What we learn? What's in store for Monday? And we're
back after this.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to
listen live. Alrighty, last call for phone calls?
Speaker 2 (30:56):
What we learn? What's in store for Monday? How about?
What will the headline be on Monday? You don't have
to write the headline. What is going to be the story?
What's the lead story on Monday? Todd?
Speaker 10 (31:11):
I think it'll be something Bill Belichick related. Even with
all the NFL and the baseball stuff. Maybe something comes
to a head in the next forty eight hours.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
All right, what will be the lead story on Monday?
Speaker 3 (31:21):
I think it's going to be the Chiefs dropping to
two and four. I think I want to say, are
they two and three right now? Something like that. Chiefs
are losing though to the Lions. That's going to be
the headline.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Okay, all right, Marvin.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
The Chiefs write the ship with a big win on
Sunday night.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Okay, ball of the balls, Paulie. What will be the
lead story on Monday?
Speaker 5 (31:44):
I think it's going to be a combo of everyone's
going to bail on the Chiefs after the loss on
Sunday night. But then there should be a big Baker
Mayfield swell as well simultaneously swell as.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Well, Biker Baker is swell. That's my headline swell as well.
I think it's going to be the Chiefs beating the Lions,
and then people be back on the Chiefs bandwagon. Also,
the Chargers situation is kind of interesting as well, though
cross Country lost a couple and you should win the game,
(32:20):
but as we often see with teams that you should
win the game, the Eagles should have won the game
last night. Of course they got blown out.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
Yeah, Pauling, But it's funny as the season develops, losses
change like the Chargers loss to the Giants last week,
that loss doesn't look as bad because the Giants just
beat the Eagles. It's like college football, the quality losses. Okay,
it looks better.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Okay, all right, I'll go with you on that. I'll
go with you. It's late in the show. I'm going
to go with you on the Terrek Scoubel will go
for the Tigers against Seattle. They've already beaten him once.
He might be the best pitcher in the game. Can
you beat him twice? But if we talk about big
game for both of these franchise, but certainly Seattle, because
(33:07):
there's been a lot of good will built up by
Seattle this year. Good team, young team. You got the
big dumper who might win the MVP Baseball in Seattle,
back on a big stage, and you're going against a
guy who has some filthy stuff, as they like to
say in the business.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
Yes, Paul, you know what other segment we should do
maybe is who dodged a bullet or who got the
Hall Pass? Because as great as Showaho Tani is, I
think he went one for eighteen in the NLDS with
eight strikeouts, and when you win, it washes away.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Yeah, we tend to forget those things. Now, if they
had lost, then that would be an open season on him.
It's like with Aaron Judge, you know last year in
the World Series and when you get blown out, then
all of a sudden, we're like, where were you? You know,
you didn't do anything. And the Dodgers are, you know,
far more talented to they can kind of cover up
(34:02):
some of those plume issues. Yeah, Pauli and Aaron Judge.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
I have him going nine for sixteen with six ribbi's
in this playoffs, but he's out.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Oh yeah, yeah, they're eliminated. You can't blame him though.
Jared and Saint Pete. Hey, Jared, what's on your mind?
Speaker 12 (34:21):
Foot one eight?
Speaker 18 (34:25):
Hey, I have I've got a question.
Speaker 12 (34:28):
I was wondering if you could give me some advice.
Speaker 18 (34:30):
All these talk on classic broadcasters and the voice each
of them has a very unique voice.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Now I have to go.
Speaker 18 (34:38):
I'm an author and I have to go sit in
the studio for three days and they've asked me to
read my audiobook. I have no idea how to take
care of my voice.
Speaker 12 (34:47):
So I need some advice.
Speaker 18 (34:48):
Dan, What should I think about? What should I do
to prep for this? And I'll hang up and listen,
but say hey to my dad and thanks for the advice.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Well, I would try to do it in smaller increments
when I did audio for my book, and I think
Marvin and I we kind of mapped out two hours
each day that I was going to do it. But
even then, it's a lot. It's a stress on your
(35:19):
vocal cords. But I would do my best to not
be talking a whole lot that week if you can
prevent doing that. Tea with lemon was always good. Cough drops.
Just to make sure that you're because your vocal cords
are going to be worked over. You'll be sore doing it.
It doesn't sound like it because you're going to be reading,
(35:40):
but you want to read, and then you'll go, okay,
let me try it again, and then let me try
it again. You're going to do you know, three or
four five takes maybe on one page or one paragraph.
You got to make sure that you enunciate.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
Yeah, Pauline, I'm reading an article here that says some
singers and on air people like yourselves use like a
humidifier that goes right directly to your throat and keeps
it soothed.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Yeah, yeah, you don't want to dry room. Very important.
Gilbert in California, Hi Gilbert, what's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Not too much?
Speaker 19 (36:15):
I'm just thanks, thanks for my call first time.
Speaker 12 (36:20):
I'm five seven to twenty unfortunately.
Speaker 19 (36:24):
But I believe that's the Hopefully the Raiders.
Speaker 12 (36:26):
Will show us some more talent. Uh, you got a
lot of injuries.
Speaker 11 (36:31):
I believe in Pete Carroll.
Speaker 12 (36:33):
Let's got a whole on them.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
You know, Gilbert, next time called in, turned down your radio,
okay because you were competing with me and yourself. Jay
and Delaware. Hey Jay, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 20 (36:47):
Hey Dan, Happy Friday. I was telling about the best
opportunity game of the weekend for me. I feel like
it's my Niners, especially after the Eagles lost last night.
If we win this game, we're already first in our
division in in this gig game could be very important
later down in the season after we get healthy.
Speaker 12 (37:04):
So thanks Dan, John a great weekend.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
Yeah, it's a big game. I'm surprised the Niners are
only three point underdogs. I had, you know, when you
start to look, I thought the Niners were going to
be a playoff team, but you have all these injuries
and Mac Jones has played really well. But I thought
Christian McCaffrey was going to be the offensive player of
the year and he's put up some pretty good numbers there.
(37:28):
But going against Tampa Bay like this is a big
game for Tampa Bay got to win this game. If
the Niners happened to win it, I mean, it's huge,
but I don't expect them to win it. Allen in
New Jersey, Hi, Allen, what's on your mind?
Speaker 16 (37:43):
Hi?
Speaker 9 (37:43):
Dan?
Speaker 19 (37:43):
A great, great job to start really listening.
Speaker 6 (37:45):
Man.
Speaker 19 (37:45):
You guys do a great job. I seen the ONEm
off in times, but this really really do a great job.
But we're just gotta the I wish you'd just stopped
doing the flip, right ty. I think the screener said
the coach me because we know that's not going to
end well as he keeps pan pssally on a giant
on turf.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Yeah, I h when I saw it, and I mean
he is a very animated player, uh and Dart is
very animated as well. But they're young, twenty two, twenty
three years of age. I can sit here as an
old man and go I don't know if I'd do that,
but if I was twenty two and I'm scoring touchdowns
(38:24):
then all right, And I had the ability to do
those things and yeah, all right, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 5 (38:30):
Yeah, And the Giants are going to use Scatterbo. He's
got a four year contract. He makes about one point
one million dollars a year for the next four years.
And he can't get out of that. He can't improve
it in any way. It's like Isaiah Pacheco with the Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (38:42):
Use him up.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
All right, let's go around the room. What we learned
on the program, Todd, And by the way, meet Friday.
Dylan did a wonderful job that looked great. Uh, Todd,
what did you learn today?
Speaker 10 (38:54):
Devin mccordy could sense the tension around the Eagles pregame
last night. The Giant seemed a lot more loose.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Yeah, he was on the call for Westwood One. He's
down on the field and he said that the Giants
players they actually thought, you know, they were gonna win.
He said he felt like there was some kind of
ground swell that they're they're ready for this moment. Seatan,
what'd you learn?
Speaker 3 (39:14):
We had Dominican roast pork today?
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Yeah? Was it Dominican or Puerto Rican?
Speaker 4 (39:18):
Checking?
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Okay, Marvin everyone's birthday's in October, apparently, Paulie.
Speaker 5 (39:26):
For me, this is Todd's last birthday.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Yes, it is, that we will acknowledge on the air, Todd,
what did I learn?
Speaker 10 (39:35):
Jackson Dark keeps the Giants interesting and relevant, and it
doesn't hurt already having beaten Justin Herbert and Jalen Hurts
this season.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Have a great weekend, everybody. We'll talk to you on Monday.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
See what's pole question for the final hour of this
award nominated program. Let me update you.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
We got a couple of them running anyways. Anyways, Who's
your favorite right now in the NFC today? Buccaneers, Eagles, Lions?
Other Right now, the Lion's running away with that one
fifty seven percent of that vote. Eagles are down to
four point seven.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah, yeah, something's up, something's off. You saw that last night.
We've seen that so far this season. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
See, doesn't feel like we kind of do this every
mid season with the Eagles. Something's going on with Siria,
Something's going on. I don't seem what's going on there
with that. It seems every year this is a thing
that happens until they, you know, get into the playoffs
or something.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Well, but a couple of years ago we were talking
about is he going to get fired? Yeah, nobody's saying
is he going to get fired? But this could be
the down year they had the following after they won
the Super Bowl. But it just I don't know. There
just feels like, what style are you going to play?
You're gonna run the football, You're gonna pass?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Is it gonna be kind of a hybrid? Nick Siriani?
Is he two predictable? You know? Jalen Hurts. If you're
gonna ask him to throw and win a game, can
you Saquon Barkley didn't run last night in the second half?
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Yeah, Paul, No one's really talked about the Eagles defense
this time. Last year, the Eagles had the seventh ranked
offense in football. This year there's seventeenth. So you dropped
ten spots. Last year at this time they had the
number one defense in the NFL. Now it's twentieth.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
That's a big drop. Yeah, Marvin, if you're.
Speaker 6 (01:39):
Nick Sirianni, I don't think you can afford a down year,
especially what this is probably the most talented roster in
the NFL. And he almost got fired a couple of
years ago when he fired the OC, the AC, the DC, everyone.
So he can't afford a down year. He's lucky he
won the Super Bowl last year, like, oh, you know what,
this buys me a year? Yeah, so he can't afford.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I don't know if the Giants are any good, but
they're leading the league in swag, that's for sure. With Jackson,
Dart Cam Scattaboo not afraid to celebrate a little bit,
and that was a big win last night and they
were the better team. And Jackson Dart I like that
he extends plays. I don't want him to be a
tough guy, but you know, sometimes you get caught up.
(02:22):
He's twenty two years of age, and you get caught
up the emotion part of that. Scataboo's not afraid. The
defense is pretty good, and maybe they can be a spoiler,
and maybe that coaching staff can keep their jobs, keeping
their jobs coaching staffs. We make the segue into the
situation with Bill Belichick at North Carolina. Pat Welter has
(02:46):
done a wonderful job. He's all over this story. He's
a sports anchor WRLTV and Raleigh North Carolina. Pat, how
would you sum up what's happened the last couple of
days here with Bill Belichick and North Carolina foot ball?
Speaker 7 (03:01):
Yeah, Dan, it's an honor to be on with you
guys today. Happy birthday to Todd Fritz. And it's been
a whirlwind.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
You know.
Speaker 7 (03:09):
I felt like we were ready to break this story
as recently as Friday, Dan, before the Clemson game, and
we made a decision to wait a couple more days,
and I think that was instrumental in allowing our reporting
to kind of start the avalanche of information that's come out.
You know, I was able to speak to a lot
of sources at the Clemson game, and that's when I
(03:32):
really knew I had something. Dan was when there's sources
I've had relationships with for years on this story, but
when I was just walking around meeting people with direct
knowledge of the program that I had no relationship with,
and they were immediately volunteering information to me, things like
from a parent, my son has no idea.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
What's going on. It is a complete mess.
Speaker 7 (03:55):
So that's what we reported, and we're seeing the fallout
of it since, and we're seeing U and C make
direct action after some of the things that have come out.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Okay, but where are we today with this story?
Speaker 7 (04:07):
So yesterday, kind of the development was we're coming off
the statement.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Right.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
We have this statement that comes.
Speaker 7 (04:12):
Out late the night prior and it's very brief and
it comes from Bubba Cunningham and it comes from Bill
Belichick basically saying Belichick's committed to UNC football and UNC
athletics is committed to him and this was on the
heels and based on conversations I had yesterday with sources
multiple levels UNC decision makers. They wanted to call them
(04:32):
the noise, they wanted to call them what they referred
to as rumors, and those rumors were related to two
four seven Tar Hill Sports report about there being exit
strategy conversations and other reports of Bill Belichick looking to
triggering his own contract. Now, I spent basic all day
on the phones trying to run this down, and I
(04:54):
think it's clear. I think it's important to note that
I was told by multiple levels of UNC decision makers
and my colleague Brian Murphy that there were no exit
strategy conversations, that there were no conversations of Bill triggering
his own buyout. But I have to acknowledge right that
that does not mean necessarily that that did not happen.
Like I'm not in those rooms. These are what these
(05:16):
people are telling me. They're all telling me the same thing,
So there's an obligation I think to report it in fairness,
but I think you also have to acknowledge there's a
gap there. We can only know so much, and I
respect Andrew Jones who had that report, So I think
you have to just take the information and sort it
out with what you know and what you want to believe.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Is Bill Belichick coaching North Carolina against Cal a week
from Saturday.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
I can't tell you. I can't tell you.
Speaker 7 (05:43):
I just know that this is escalated day by day,
and I would say hour by hour to be quite literally, Dan,
minute by minute. I'll tell you this morning, I sent
an email to UNC Athletics trying to get confirmation of
a player to see if he was still with the program.
An hour later, the player I asked about has a
(06:05):
graphic ready to go on social media. This just broke
from running back Caleb Hood. After much thought, prayer and
discussion with my family, I've decided to retire from football.
My journey at you and c has been special and
I appreciate my time here. You can look on social
media if you want to see that full statement. That
is the player I asked about because of a tip
that I got there. Ironic in a way, Dan, because
this season, if you remember that first game versus TCU,
(06:28):
there was that one moment where everyone all the hype,
all the buzz, which was so real, right, this was incredible.
Carolina drives down their first possession of the season, Caleb
Hood scores the touchdown, the place goes bonkers. Skip Bayless
had some tweet about it being amazing. I know, I
was like, this guy's Nick Saban. I'm like, he's gonna
do it. They're doing it, you know, And it has
(06:51):
been downhill ever since. And it's fitting poetry that I
think now Caleb Hood, after this week, is leaving the program,
and obviously I'm going to look into more as to why,
but I think just kind of that paints a picture
for where we're at.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I don't know what role the media played in this,
the national media in hyping this up. It's Belichick, it's
North Carolina, it's the ACC, it's not the SEC or
the Big Ten. Certainly can win more than Mac Brown does.
When Mac would win six games, occasionally he'd win, you know,
a few more, go to a bowl game there. But
I locally, did you guys have the same expectations as
(07:26):
maybe the national media had on Bill Belichick?
Speaker 7 (07:30):
Yeah, we're We're all complicit in this in a way, right,
And I really don't fault My point of my story
was never to fault the people that decided to hire
Bill Belichick. I think you could certainly make an argument
they should have vetted this more right because they have
access to that information that nobody else has during their
hiring process. But yeah, I think we're all part of
(07:53):
the hype. You know what, how could you not be?
This is an incredible story. This is the story of
my lifetime, the biggest thing I've ever covered.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
And I grew up in New England. I'm from Londonderry,
New Hampshire.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
As a student at Emerson College, I got to go
to the Super Bowl versus the Giants.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
I asked Bill Belichick a.
Speaker 7 (08:11):
Question at the super Bowl, and then for me to
come to Carolina and then for him to end up
here and I'm covering him breaking news about his hiring
process after mac Brown was fired around Thanksgiving, which is
really when this all started for me. It's been a trip,
so I think, you know, I've tried to just kind
of I tell people I'm trying to bring the same
(08:31):
energy and the same passion and same discipline reporting that
I did to the hiring process, that I did to
the excitement into the fund and what I'm doing right
now to I guess if you want to call it downfall.
But there's no agenda here. I'm just trying to tell
people what I know. I've been covering this team for
four plus years. I know a lot of people, and
(08:51):
people are very, very upset. And when you look at
the results on the field, when you're going to be
the highest paid employee in the state going to be
one of the worst teams in all of college football.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
That's not me saying that, Dan.
Speaker 7 (09:04):
That is statistical fact, completely uncompetitive in Power four games,
one hundred and twenty to thirty three is the scoring differential.
People deserve to know what's going on and why, and
I think are reporting I shed a light on that.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
If I gave athletic department a do over and you
keep Mac Brown, what would they do?
Speaker 7 (09:26):
I think, Mack Broo, I think really it's diametric, right,
the difference between Mac Brown and Bill Belichick. And in
some ways that's what they were seeking, because you know,
Mac Brown came here second stint in Chapel Hill, so
respected national champion University of Texas has had some of
the best seasons Carolina football has ever seen.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Means a lot to this state, means a lots of
this community, and he.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
Treated people as such, and he welcomed the media as such,
but I think if you were going to criticize him,
you look at the downfall of mac Brown was James
Madison last year where they gave up seventy points inexplicable.
Then they go on the road loose to Boston College
and if I'm allowed to say, a kind of uninspired
performance at a minimum, And that was the nail in
(10:12):
the coffin for Mack Brown in his time here. And
you know, it was honestly probably time to move on.
They had tapped out, so what they wanted to do
was take another step. Everybody knows like in the world
of conference realignment, you have to be all in on football.
You can't be just a basketball school. So everything for
Carolina was well intentioned in bringing Bill Belichick in. It
just has gone spectacularly wrong in ways that I don't
(10:34):
know that anyone really could have foreseen.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Does Belichick have any media availability coming up aside from
game days.
Speaker 7 (10:43):
Yeah, It's been both convenient for him and maybe convenient
for us reporting on this as well. That this came
as a bye week and it was a bye week
before Clemson as well, And I think that's allowed me
to do a lot of work because like I've been
working on this since the spring, Daann, like that's when
the tip came in, and I'm just running this down
until I thought I had it. He is of media
(11:04):
availability on Monday. I'm gonna go that's going to be
an interesting experience for me. I'm certainly gonna try to
ask a question. You know, I've been coordinating with U
and C, trying to work with them throughout this. When
I have information, I'm not breaking it until I run
it by them for a chance to respond, and we're
working on that right now.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
We have a story that we were ready to break yesterday.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
And just to give you an example of how strange
this is, Dan, I am at the point now where
I can't even assume the people I am texting and
calling are.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
The people that they say to be. That's all I
can say.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
But at this point now, like I am questioning, like
that's the level we are at, because inside the building
in Carolina, they know there's a leak.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
They are trying to find it.
Speaker 7 (11:55):
And I am kind of ears and eyes wide open
to really everything and anything at this point. But I
can tell you that our reporting directly led to the
suspension of assistant football coach Armand Hawkins, and our continued
prying into that story led to the statement and the
official confirmation from U and C on his suspension yesterday afternoon.
(12:16):
And there's a key piece in their statement that they
say he will remain on leave as the Department of
Athletics further investigates other potential actions detrimental to the team university.
Those are what we are looking into. So that's all
I can share at this moment. But I think you
have something.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
There's more stories to come.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Okay, good luck with that, and trust your gut, trust
your instincts. But man, you know, nail it down. Yeah,
nail it down because they're this is serious stuff. But
that's why we do this. When you get these opportunities,
go for it.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
Yes, sir, I appreciate that. And uh, this means a
lot being on here with you. You're one of the
reasons I do this, so I really appreciate the opportunity.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Thank you, Pat, good luck. That's Pat Welter w r
A l TV sports anchor Raleigh, North Carolina. Yeah, all
of a sudden, you get a tip, then you get in,
and then all of a sudden you're in and then
you start to find out more and more, and that's
when people start questioning your reporting. You know, you're your local.
Why aren't you on our team? Why don't you support
(13:21):
the team. There's a lot of things that go on
when you do local reporting, especially at a university, whether
it's at you know, high end basketball or high end football. Hey,
we're all in this together. Why are you, you know,
reporting negative stuff? But you got to hold true to
what you're doing, and hopefully Pat has that opportunity. All right,
(13:44):
when we come back, we'll look at some of the
matchups here college football and the NFL. I was curious
the new and maybe improved Bengals going to Green Bay.
What was that point spread going to be? Yikes? We'll
have that for you coming up next year on The
Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific

That's right, Dan.
Speaker 9 (14:30):
Every week we're gonna scour the waiver wire to find
the pickups to turbo boost your fantasy lineup six starts,
Fantasy football players rankings to get you ready to dominate

Speaker 8 (14:41):
Listen to I Want Your Flex with Mike Carman and
Met Dan Byer on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts and
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Coming up, we'll tell you the most must win game
of the weekend. We do have a new segment, THEO
tw the Opportunity of the Week Who has the best
opportunity of the week, Not to be confused with the
most must win game of the weekend. I'm looking at
(15:09):
some of the point spreads here and I was curious
about the Bengals against the Packers because Joe Flacco's already
defeated the Packers and now going to Lambeau to try
to do double duty. The Bengals are fourteen point underdogs,
and I started to wonder about this. How bad has
Jake Browning been that you're going to bring in a
(15:30):
forty year old quarterback from a division rival. You're going
to give him two days to prepare with his new
team against Green Bay at Green Bay. That says an
awful lot about Jake Browning the Broncos and the Jets
in London. Broncos are favored by seven and a half.
(15:50):
Patriots on the road against New Orleans. There's a lot
of people that are climbing on the Panthers bandwagon against
the Cowboys. Cowboys are favored by three. In Carolina, Chargers
at the Dolphins. Boy, this is cross country tricky. Is
that a one o'clock game? See if that's a one
(16:13):
o'clock game? But Chargers minus four and a half against
the Dolphins, Yeah, that's early, no, boy, but this feels
like last call for the Dolphins. Gotta win this game.
The Rams against the Ravens. The Browns are getting six
in Pittsburgh. I thought it might be a little bit
more than that. But Browns with Dylan Gabriel there. Seahawks
(16:37):
and Jacks, See, I love this matchup. Seahawks are favored
by one and a half in Jacksonville. Who would have
thought that that would be circled on my calendar? The
forty nine Ers are getting three in Tampa. I thought
it would be a little more than that. And the
lines are getting two and a half against the Chiefs.
So those are the NFL games coming up this weekend.
(17:00):
I want to explain THEOTW Paul, Yeah, Opportunity of the week.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Yeah, it's pretty complex.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Player, coach, team that has an opportunity to make a
big jump this weekend, or a career defining moment, whatever
it may be. I'll give you an example. Florida football
just had a big win. They're at number five Texas
A and M. Their coach, Billy Napier, has been on
a perpetual hot seat. He can cool it off real
fast this month with a win against A and.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
M OTW, Florida is getting seven and a half. Yes,
in that game, All right, Marvin, do you have an
Opportunity of the Week nominee?
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Indiana football on the road against Oregon. It's not a
must win because they if they lose, they'll still be good.
But this is their opportunity to really put themselves on
a national level.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
All right, Indiana getting seven at Oregon. Oregon number three
in the country. I U is number seven. Todd. The
opportunity of the week end.
Speaker 10 (17:58):
I was going to go with Indiana, but I am
going to go with the Jacksonville Jaguars to show that
not only were they able to beat the Chiefs, that
they can take care of the Seahawks back to back
and they are a team to reckon with, not just
inn AFC South, but to be considered as one of
the top teams in the conference this year.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Okay, Jaguar, All right, then they would improve to five
and one. Paully, your opportunity of the weekend?
Speaker 4 (18:23):
I did mine.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
That was my Oh I thought you gave me a
first for instance. I'll stick an example. Yeah, Okay, Seaton,
do you have an opportunity of the weekend game?
Speaker 3 (18:31):
I think Texas has the opportunity to save their season
this weekend. So I'm not calling it a must win,
but I am saying it's an opportunity to write the
ship and get back maybe into playoff discussions.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
All right, Oklahoma is a one and a half point
favored Texas. I would probably say USC the opportunity of
the week make sure you win this game at home
and then you go on the road. You've got Notre
Dame the following week, and then you'll have Oregon a
little bit later on. You got to win this game.
(19:06):
If you want to be back in the top twenty five,
Top twenty, top fifteen, you got to win this game.
And Michigan is getting two and a half at USC. Now,
let's play the most must win game of the weekend.
That would be the mm W goot W Todd the
(19:26):
most must win game of the weekend is I initially.
Speaker 10 (19:29):
Wrote Penn State better beat Northwestern in Happy Valley, but
I scratched that off and I'm going with I know
the Rams are a good team, but it's last call
for the one in four Ravens in Baltimore. You cannot
fall down the well and be one and five. You
better find a way to beat the Rams in Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
All right, Seating the most must win game of the weekend.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
I have the Kansas City Chiefs. This is a most
must win game against the Lions. Their season is slipping
away and they need to write that ship starting with
this weekend.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
Marvin, the LA Chargers, you're on a two game losing street.
They have to snap this to stay afloat in the
AFC West.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
Paulie, I'm going with LSU football and specifically Brian Kelly.
They're hosting South Carolina this weekend, a feisty team. Then
they have Vandy A and m Bama Arkansas. They finished
with Oklahoma. It could go bad quickly.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
South Carolina is getting eight and a half at number
eleven lsu I would say the most must win game
of the weekend would be the Buccaneers are at home
against the forty nine ers, and the forty nine ers
are only three point underdogs with a banged up roster,
and you got a backup quarterback. You're going cross country
(20:43):
Tampa Bay. You want to be in the big picture,
you got to make sure you handle business here as
the most must win game of the weekend, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
How must winish is the Raiders game against the Titans.
The Raiders at one and four.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Well, I don't and I don't have any sources there
with the Raiders that could Pete Carroll not last the season.
So I don't know, I don't know what you know.
I mean, they shouldn't be this bad. They shouldn't be now.
Gino Smith has not played well at all. Ashton Genty
still figuring it out. Max Crosby is a wonderful player.
(21:21):
Bowers like you have talent there. You shouldn't have one
win here and be blown out in some of these games.
I mean, at some point do they go, do we
have Pete continue to be our head coach? I mean,
he's a Hall of Fame coach, but I'm always like,
(21:42):
if you can't play for Pete, He's always enthusiastic, energetic,
and so it can't be that you know, they're not
inspired here, but just feels like they should be a
whole lot better.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
Yes, Marvin is Pete Carroll coach coaching his way out
of the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
I have to ask Todd that, Yeah.
Speaker 10 (22:01):
It's valid points and Raiders been yet playing some football.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Yeah, you can have one bad year because that's all
he's going to get is one bad year. But I
don't think he's coaching his way out of the Hall
of Fame.
Speaker 10 (22:13):
Yes, yes to the gum was getting very stale for Peter.
A couple of wins going.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Paul or he could be eligible for the Hall of
Fame a year early at this pace.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Oh okay, I see what you're doing, all right. So
the most must win game of the weekend James in Texas, Hi, James,
what's on your mind today.
Speaker 11 (22:33):
Hey, good morning, love the show five eleven to fifty awesome.
I just wanted to call in on the October birthdays.
My wife and I are both October birthdays. Mine was yesterdays.
Today we'll both turn well, I turn absent, Joe old,
(22:54):
she's still in her forties. And I just wanted to
say that October birthdays there especial special group. We're heading
out to Vegas this weekend celebrate it. And I was
wondering if you and the Day Net could maybe what's
your happy birthday?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
And what's her name?
Speaker 11 (23:11):
James Monica?
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Monica? Okayn, happen, I'm birthday down today.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
Let me get the cabinet.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Want to show It's a lot of birthdays, yeah, ten ten,
same month, same day, a lot of birthdays today.
Speaker 10 (23:36):
You know, it was just a month of October to celebrate.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Dave in San Antonio, Hi, Dave?
Speaker 6 (23:44):
What up?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Gang?
Speaker 12 (23:45):
Hey?
Speaker 13 (23:45):
I just wanted to wish Fritzy a happy birthday. Usually
I say suck it, but today is your day. But
I wanted to see him Happy birthday the Black Edition,
So just bear with me.
Speaker 12 (23:56):
Guys. I want to say.
Speaker 11 (23:58):
Happy birth they to you.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I want to say what happened today? What happened today?
Speaker 5 (24:13):
That's fault for van born.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Dave in Texas. Hi Dave, what's on your mind?
Speaker 12 (24:20):
Hello? Hi Dave, Hi Dan, I'm Dane from Texas.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Oh hi Dane Tyler. Miss misspelled your name.
Speaker 12 (24:32):
Oh no, no, no problem.
Speaker 13 (24:35):
Uh.
Speaker 12 (24:36):
I wanted to add a suggestion for Dylan and Frincy,
maybe they could get together on a cooking show, a
video cooking show. But before I get into that, while
I was on hold, my wife was cleaning upstairs and
she listens to music and Pat you were interviewing Pat Welter,
(24:56):
and she listened to the Eagles lieon eyes. You know,
a rich old man, you don't have to worry, and
that that I think that was a message from the universe.
But anyway, I think Fritzy and Dylan could collaborate in
the cooking show because I can't follow a recipe. I
need to see how it's cooked. So if Dylan could
(25:17):
teach Fritzy how to cook on video, I think it'd
be a good show.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
All right, Well, thank you, Dan, And I'm not sure
the eagles lion eyes? But did I miss something here?
What happened? What happened to the show? It's like the
entire radio universe is It's Fritzy Friday. Here Frank in Texas.
Hi Frank, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 14 (25:46):
Good morning, Daran, it's Franky by the way.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Hi Frankie, by the way.
Speaker 14 (25:49):
My bad, It's all good. Five seven three quarter shot
off Seaton at.
Speaker 12 (25:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (25:58):
So I wanted to come in on the Eagles and
a little thing about Derek Canner at the end if
you have the time. Obviously not too happy about how
the game went down last night, but completely understanding why
when it went down the way it did. Short weeks injuries,
and honestly, I got to tip my hat off to
(26:18):
camp Scattabo and Jackson Dart dark looks a lot faster
than I thought he was when he was escaped in
the pocket, and Camp Scattabo is definitely looking like he's
picking up where he left off in college. Hearing it
from everybody in my fantasy league, everybody you know, the
Eagles of Frogs, this and that I'm not ready to
sign the alarm Clay yet. You could easily see that.
Speaker 15 (26:41):
Jaylen Carter was definitely missed in the Giants game and
the Cowboys game. You can see that, you know the
impact that wasn't there when he wasn't there obviously, and
this guy is gonna get paid.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah when he's playing. But they ran
up the middle with a scataboo. And if you have
Jalen Carter, that's not happening. AJ and Florida, Hi, AJ,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 16 (27:07):
Hey Dan, Hey Dennis. They're going to try and make
this as quick as possible, kind of a two parter
to talking to the MLB playoffs. You got teams like
the Blue Jays, the Brewers, they're really good at like
situation situational hitting and avoiding the three true outcome that
has like plagued baseball for like the last ten years.
And absent of teams like the Dodgers, who you know,
(27:29):
can afford and choose to pay to, you know, bring
in a really good electric team, do you think that
we'll see more teams returned to that form of situational
hitting and hitting for average and OVP instead of that
three true outcome, like the Brewers and the Blue Jays.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I've been saying it for a couple of years, but
I said that about the running back and running game
in the NFL that eventually a team would decide, Hey,
we don't have that kind of quarterback, or we don't
have those kind of wide receivers. How about we find
ourselves a really good offensive line and we control the
line of scrimmage and we run the football that way.
(28:08):
When you come on the field, you have a certain
amount of time. Now that it almost you're speeding up
the opposition because they have to make something happen, because
when you get the ball back, you're going to control
the clock. I don't know if it's going to happen
anytime soon, but I think some of these teams in
these smaller markets trying to get big time stars. I
(28:30):
still go back to if you have quality pitching and
you have you know, timely hitting guys who understand how
to put the ball in play and as you said,
situational hitting. But I keep being told nobody cares about
batting average anymore. And I, you know, I realize that
you're going to be swinging for home runs and the
(28:51):
number of home runs, it's just the number of at
bats other than your home runs. What are you doing?
Are you striking out? Are you even putting the ball
in play? I still believe that if I put the
ball in play, and I have base hits and I
have a high batting average. I'm putting pressure on you.
I would build a team for speed, defense, pitching, and
(29:11):
you know, half of my games are going to be
in my ballpark, and I build a team with my
ballpark in mind. That feels like that's a home field advantage.
But it feels like everybody is just hey, let's just
throw hard and swing hard. Terry in South Carolina, Hi, Terry,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 14 (29:30):
Hey?
Speaker 17 (29:30):
Dan, thanks taking my call. Terry six foot two twenty.
I was calling to give you my OTW of the Week,
and I believe it's the Dallas Cowboys because they really
kind of need to win since the Eagles would go
in the other direction. They can get themselves up there
with them.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Yeah, with the Eagles down in the Cowboy, but you
can't lose this game, you know, as much as the Cowboys,
and certainly maybe surprising people off fend, don't have CD
Lamb back and you're going to Carolina. So they're favored
by three, and it feels like a lot of people
think Carolina is the team to take. Yes, Marv.
Speaker 6 (30:13):
The Steelers are also on that opportunity of the week
list to me, because they got to beat a bad
Browns team right now, their first place in the AFC North.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
They got to stay afloat.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
And aren't they only a six point favorite against the
Cleveland team that's led by Dylan Gabriel in his second start. Yeah, Paulin, Yeah,
that's right.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
And Steelers have Browns this week, Bengals next week. They
can put some distance.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
All right, Well, take a break, last call for phone calls?
What we learn? What's in store for Monday? And we're
back after this.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to
listen live. Alrighty, last call for phone calls?
Speaker 2 (30:56):
What we learn? What's in store for Monday? How about?
What will the headline be on Monday? You don't have
to write the headline. What is going to be the story?
What's the lead story on Monday? Todd?
Speaker 10 (31:11):
I think it'll be something Bill Belichick related. Even with
all the NFL and the baseball stuff. Maybe something comes
to a head in the next forty eight hours.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
All right, what will be the lead story on Monday?
Speaker 3 (31:21):
I think it's going to be the Chiefs dropping to
two and four. I think I want to say, are
they two and three right now? Something like that. Chiefs
are losing though to the Lions. That's going to be
the headline.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Okay, all right, Marvin.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
The Chiefs write the ship with a big win on
Sunday night.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Okay, ball of the balls, Paulie. What will be the
lead story on Monday?
Speaker 5 (31:44):
I think it's going to be a combo of everyone's
going to bail on the Chiefs after the loss on
Sunday night. But then there should be a big Baker
Mayfield swell as well simultaneously swell as.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Well, Biker Baker is swell. That's my headline swell as well.
I think it's going to be the Chiefs beating the Lions,
and then people be back on the Chiefs bandwagon. Also,
the Chargers situation is kind of interesting as well, though
cross Country lost a couple and you should win the game,
(32:20):
but as we often see with teams that you should
win the game, the Eagles should have won the game
last night. Of course they got blown out.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
Yeah, Pauling, But it's funny as the season develops, losses
change like the Chargers loss to the Giants last week,
that loss doesn't look as bad because the Giants just
beat the Eagles. It's like college football, the quality losses. Okay,
it looks better.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Okay, all right, I'll go with you on that. I'll
go with you. It's late in the show. I'm going
to go with you on the Terrek Scoubel will go
for the Tigers against Seattle. They've already beaten him once.
He might be the best pitcher in the game. Can
you beat him twice? But if we talk about big
game for both of these franchise, but certainly Seattle, because
(33:07):
there's been a lot of good will built up by
Seattle this year. Good team, young team. You got the
big dumper who might win the MVP Baseball in Seattle,
back on a big stage, and you're going against a
guy who has some filthy stuff, as they like to
say in the business.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
Yes, Paul, you know what other segment we should do
maybe is who dodged a bullet or who got the
Hall Pass? Because as great as Showaho Tani is, I
think he went one for eighteen in the NLDS with
eight strikeouts, and when you win, it washes away.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Yeah, we tend to forget those things. Now, if they
had lost, then that would be an open season on him.
It's like with Aaron Judge, you know last year in
the World Series and when you get blown out, then
all of a sudden, we're like, where were you? You know,
you didn't do anything. And the Dodgers are, you know,
far more talented to they can kind of cover up
(34:02):
some of those plume issues. Yeah, Pauli and Aaron Judge.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
I have him going nine for sixteen with six ribbi's
in this playoffs, but he's out.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Oh yeah, yeah, they're eliminated. You can't blame him though.
Jared and Saint Pete. Hey, Jared, what's on your mind?
Speaker 12 (34:21):
Foot one eight?
Speaker 18 (34:25):
Hey, I have I've got a question.
Speaker 12 (34:28):
I was wondering if you could give me some advice.
Speaker 18 (34:30):
All these talk on classic broadcasters and the voice each
of them has a very unique voice.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Now I have to go.
Speaker 18 (34:38):
I'm an author and I have to go sit in
the studio for three days and they've asked me to
read my audiobook. I have no idea how to take
care of my voice.
Speaker 12 (34:47):
So I need some advice.
Speaker 18 (34:48):
Dan, What should I think about? What should I do
to prep for this? And I'll hang up and listen,
but say hey to my dad and thanks for the advice.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Well, I would try to do it in smaller increments
when I did audio for my book, and I think
Marvin and I we kind of mapped out two hours
each day that I was going to do it. But
even then, it's a lot. It's a stress on your
(35:19):
vocal cords. But I would do my best to not
be talking a whole lot that week if you can
prevent doing that. Tea with lemon was always good. Cough drops.
Just to make sure that you're because your vocal cords
are going to be worked over. You'll be sore doing it.
It doesn't sound like it because you're going to be reading,
(35:40):
but you want to read, and then you'll go, okay,
let me try it again, and then let me try
it again. You're going to do you know, three or
four five takes maybe on one page or one paragraph.
You got to make sure that you enunciate.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
Yeah, Pauline, I'm reading an article here that says some
singers and on air people like yourselves use like a
humidifier that goes right directly to your throat and keeps
it soothed.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Yeah, yeah, you don't want to dry room. Very important.
Gilbert in California, Hi Gilbert, what's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Not too much?
Speaker 19 (36:15):
I'm just thanks, thanks for my call first time.
Speaker 12 (36:20):
I'm five seven to twenty unfortunately.
Speaker 19 (36:24):
But I believe that's the Hopefully the Raiders.
Speaker 12 (36:26):
Will show us some more talent. Uh, you got a
lot of injuries.
Speaker 11 (36:31):
I believe in Pete Carroll.
Speaker 12 (36:33):
Let's got a whole on them.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
You know, Gilbert, next time called in, turned down your radio,
okay because you were competing with me and yourself. Jay
and Delaware. Hey Jay, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 20 (36:47):
Hey Dan, Happy Friday. I was telling about the best
opportunity game of the weekend for me. I feel like
it's my Niners, especially after the Eagles lost last night.
If we win this game, we're already first in our
division in in this gig game could be very important
later down in the season after we get healthy.
Speaker 12 (37:04):
So thanks Dan, John a great weekend.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
Yeah, it's a big game. I'm surprised the Niners are
only three point underdogs. I had, you know, when you
start to look, I thought the Niners were going to
be a playoff team, but you have all these injuries
and Mac Jones has played really well. But I thought
Christian McCaffrey was going to be the offensive player of
the year and he's put up some pretty good numbers there.
(37:28):
But going against Tampa Bay like this is a big
game for Tampa Bay got to win this game. If
the Niners happened to win it, I mean, it's huge,
but I don't expect them to win it. Allen in
New Jersey, Hi, Allen, what's on your mind?
Speaker 16 (37:43):
Hi?
Speaker 9 (37:43):
Dan?
Speaker 19 (37:43):
A great, great job to start really listening.
Speaker 6 (37:45):
Man.
Speaker 19 (37:45):
You guys do a great job. I seen the ONEm
off in times, but this really really do a great job.
But we're just gotta the I wish you'd just stopped
doing the flip, right ty. I think the screener said
the coach me because we know that's not going to
end well as he keeps pan pssally on a giant
on turf.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Yeah, I h when I saw it, and I mean
he is a very animated player, uh and Dart is
very animated as well. But they're young, twenty two, twenty
three years of age. I can sit here as an
old man and go I don't know if I'd do that,
but if I was twenty two and I'm scoring touchdowns
(38:24):
then all right, And I had the ability to do
those things and yeah, all right, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 5 (38:30):
Yeah, And the Giants are going to use Scatterbo. He's
got a four year contract. He makes about one point
one million dollars a year for the next four years.
And he can't get out of that. He can't improve
it in any way. It's like Isaiah Pacheco with the Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (38:42):
Use him up.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
All right, let's go around the room. What we learned
on the program, Todd, And by the way, meet Friday.
Dylan did a wonderful job that looked great. Uh, Todd,
what did you learn today?
Speaker 10 (38:54):
Devin mccordy could sense the tension around the Eagles pregame
last night. The Giant seemed a lot more loose.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Yeah, he was on the call for Westwood One. He's
down on the field and he said that the Giants
players they actually thought, you know, they were gonna win.
He said he felt like there was some kind of
ground swell that they're they're ready for this moment. Seatan,
what'd you learn?
Speaker 3 (39:14):
We had Dominican roast pork today?
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Yeah? Was it Dominican or Puerto Rican?
Speaker 4 (39:18):
Checking?
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Okay, Marvin everyone's birthday's in October, apparently, Paulie.
Speaker 5 (39:26):
For me, this is Todd's last birthday.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Yes, it is, that we will acknowledge on the air, Todd,
what did I learn?
Speaker 10 (39:35):
Jackson Dark keeps the Giants interesting and relevant, and it
doesn't hurt already having beaten Justin Herbert and Jalen Hurts
this season.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Have a great weekend, everybody. We'll talk to you on Monday.
