Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's the final hour on this Friday. It's a mead Friday.
At that we have Beer Brian Buffalo chicken Wings Miller Lite.
They gave us the recipe here. That's the Beer Brian
Buffalo chicken Wings, smoked potato salad. Who has it better
than we do? Some of the headlines before we get
(00:25):
to the popular Paul Finebaum, the voice of the sec.
Simone Biles wins gold, individual wins gold with the team.
Katie Ledecci now the most decorated female swimmer of all
time in the United States with thirteen medals, and the
Bears beat the Texans. The new kickoff rule, the dynamic kickoff,
(00:46):
I thought was a success.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I didn't expect anything.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Therefore, I couldn't be disappointed if I wasn't expecting anything,
because that's what's happened with the previous kickoffs, they go
into the end zone.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
This at least had more movement.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Seven of the eight kickoffs were return Our Interview of

dream Pole. Question for the final hour is going to
be what seed no O'Connor. Yeah, we got a couple
of them up there, Dan. Number of kickoffs returned for
a touchdown this season nine or less, ten or more?
Right now, seventy five percent of the audience have nine
or less.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
I gave the over under nine and a half, and
I thought, okay, maybe because last year there were total
of four kickoffs return I'm gonna stay at nine and
a half. I think that's fair. I think somebody's going
to have a good strategy. They're going to figure out something,
and you're going to have some dangerous like I would
certainly consider Tyreek Hill back there, or Jalen Waddell or
(02:00):
both if I'm the Miami Dolphins. But I think somebody's
going to do something with their talent and create some
kind of scheme that's going to give you an advantage.
Somebody's going to do that, all right, eight seven to
seven to three DP show email address DP at Danpatrick

(02:22):
you're watching on Peacock, And if you're watching on Peacock,
you're going to see Paul Finebaum of the Paul Finebaumb Show.
He's the voice of the SEC. What do you think
over under new kickoff rule nine and a half touchdowns
this year? I'm going to say under hmm, okay, Now,
can you see college football changing to this anytime soon
(02:46):
where they adopt the NFL's new kickoff rule?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
I don't know why not, Dan, considering everything else in
college football represents and resembles the NFL right now, So
if it makes him a few more dollars, I'd say
they go for it.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
But they don't change their rules that often though.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
They're they're a tough group because they have a bunch
of former coaches on these committees. But I think they'll
sit back and you know, talk about it, consult the lawyers,
maybe try to settle a case, and ultimately reacted. They're
not They're not a quick acting group.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Yeah, but I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
We don't hear about players safety in college We hear
about player safety in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Why is that.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Because you haven't seen as much activity from from a
legal standpoint, like we went through years ago with the concussions,
and I mean I hear it occasionally. I hear it
emphasize how much we care, and quite frankly, Dan, then
I don't hear anything else about it.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, I wondered about that. I thought that there was
a ground swell years ago for some kind of litigation.
But it feels like everything there's a ground swell some
kind of litigation. Then it kind of dissipates when it
come to college football the regular season now, in particular
with the Big Ten in the SEC, the importance of
(04:08):
the Big Ten schedule during the regular season is going
to be what.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
It's critical if you don't have Ohio State on your schedule,
if you don't have a road game. Let's say at
Oregon you're going to Benfit and you were so used
to the traditional swan at the end of the season
about Penn State losing in successful weeks to Michigan and
Ohio State, and that doesn't happen right now. It's a
(04:34):
convoluted schedule, primarily because you now have four West Coast schools,
and everybody tried to come up with a fair and
equimentble plan but it doesn't work out that way.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
And I'm also wondering about this where Notre Dame can't
be ranked, can't be seated higher than fifth correct, even
if they're the number one team in the country. If
the playoffs start, they're fifth correct.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
That correct, And that's just Notre Dame making sure they
have a spot, but not having to do the dirty work.
I mean, you have to love Notre Dame.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
They they have to play their way out of the playoffs. Paul,
I don't know how they can.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
This year, Franky, because I mean they have a I mean,
you know they I mean last year they went I
believe to Ohow State. I mean that's a that's a
dangerous game. They replaced that this year there and they
always play them, but they're at USC hardly the same impact.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
And then you're looking at so SEC and Big Ten.
Are they guaranteed any spot there? Like the winner of
the Big Ten and the winner of the SEC. What's
the lowest that they can be seated?
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Yeah, I mean they won't be very low. I mean
they'll be grandfathered in. So you know, you said Grant,
you said guaranteed. I have this funny feeling that you know,
that if the number goes below three, the CF will
kind of go poof, like like at the beginning of
Mission impossible, because we all know not the State retreaded
(06:05):
information here that the SEC in the Big Ten now
have this alliance where they essentially run the sport. It's
been reported that the Big Ten tried to guarantee in
the new agreements that they would either the SEC or
the Big Ten would be number one, regardless of record.
Fortunately that did not.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Go your favorite pinata, Lincoln Riley. Well, yes, why like
why Lincoln Riley? It just seems that that draws your ire.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Oh, Dan, you have to remember college football takes a
hiatus for a number of months, and then we parachute
back in July, and I'm suddenly appearing with steven A
and Greene and the Dan Patrick Show. So I've got
to come up with new material. I work through it,
and then when I go on tour in the fall,
I used to whatever works the best. I answered this.
(07:01):
I frankly did say a lot of things about Lincoln
Riley recently, and I meant them. I don't think he's
a great elite coach, and I know that the pushback
is well, look, at what he did at Oklahoma. I
know what he did there. He inherited a masterpiece from
Bob Stoops. And yes, he was able to maneuver and
finesse Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray into Heisman trophies. And
(07:25):
he nearly got one for Jalen Hurtz, and he did
get one for Caleb Williams. But it's really what he
hasn't done that I think is so noteworthy. And he
hasn't won a championship and he really hasn't even come
close because Lincoln Riley has just forgotten one of those
tenets of defense at the special teams offense and can
we all say in Unison defense He's never been on
(07:47):
speaking terms with the word defense in his career.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
But okay, he has to know that this is a problem.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
All right, you would think.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
But you think Dion could come into USC and make
more sense than Lincoln.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Right, that's not going to happen. That's not going to happen.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
I heard what you said about that. I got a
chance to listen to you, and everything you said, Dan
make perfect sense, except that I wasn't like saying I've
done six months of research on presenting my case as
a Solicitor General to the Supreme Court. I mean, I
just threw it out on first take and the next thing.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
You know, you can't just throw it out, Paul, you
know better than that.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Well, I was trying to get a new deal with ESPN.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I figured out, well, congratulations, you accomplished that. I don't
know if Dion can coach. I don't know if he
can recruit.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
I don't Dan, you're about to get attacked by the
Dion police.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Look, I would say it to him. He won four
games last year. The over under this year is five
and a half. I said, if you didn't get Dion
last year, you're not going to get him this year.
I might have to amend that. So I'm thinking Dion
is going to be better this year. And if he isn't,
he loses Travis Hunter, he loses his son.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I mean, come on, you're you're.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Right, Okay, I agree with you, Except Neon's not really
a coach.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
He's a producer, ceo.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
He you know, he's like they bring they bring Spielberg
into the movie. He fixes it up. He gets a
lot of special effect. That's what he does. And my
argument a couple of weeks ago was that you bring
him into La, the town is on fire, just like
it was for about a minute under Lincoln Raley. He
had everything going for him and then suddenly he didn't.
And my argument about La is it's a it's a
(09:37):
town of winners. They don't like the losers out there,
and suddenly Lincoln Riley looks like a loser. And I
think it's going to continue that way. So, no, Dion
is not Bill Belichick and Nick Saban wrapped into one.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
But but he is a dynamic figure. He gets ratings,
he brings excitement, and that brings.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Players coach with more pressure. Are we going to look
at Tron Moore or we're gonna look at Kaylin de
Boer at Alabama?
Speaker 4 (10:08):
I think it's Kaylen de Boor because Cheril Moore was
that you know, he had a hand in that national
championship last year, you know, taking over a couple of
games for Jim Parvum and by do I do I
miss Jim Barba already? But uh, the Boor if he
doesn't go to the playoffs, Uh, this season is a failure.
And I'm not being harsh. That's just the standard at
(10:29):
Alabama and the worst thing for him is that the fans,
they may have seen Nick Saban leave, but their attitude
remains the same. Uh and and they'll give him a
pass this year. You don't have to win the title,
but you better get somewhere close to it. And Savans,
you know, did Sabans boil them? Of course he did.
Even with not ddage Saban teams. He was able to
(10:50):
knock off Georgia last year and stop that run.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
What do you think happens with this investigation, the report
about the report about a potential report about Michigan and
the cheating scandal.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
I would be shocked if Michigan loses postseason. That's just
not the way the NCAA operates any longer. And considering
that they started investigating Tennessee a few months ago and
the next thing you know, it was in court and
they were getting swatted down, and all of a sudden,
it's seemingly gone away. I don't think they have the
fortitude to go after someone like Michigan. I think they
(11:24):
hate Michigan with a passion, but I don't think they'll
be able to do that.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
The who's the ut in the SEC Tennessee has been
Grandfather I know this is big to Texas, this is important,
but you know I have to ask the question.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
You're the voice of the sec.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Yeah, I had an expert the other day. He actually
investigated it. And without Tennessee and David Crockett, there would
be no Texas right now. So even though I'm prejudice
having been a graduate of the University of Tennessee, it's
it's no contendery. It's it's ut Knoxville. That's where the
action is.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Is your relationship with Lane Kiffin.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
It depends he's a very moody guy in because you.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Haven't noticed, Okay, but how serious was he when you
guys were live and it felt like there was a
little tension between you two.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Dan, I hate to burst a great feud, but that
happened on a Monday at five point forty five, and
suddenly on Thursday you got reported in the media that
it had been the moment of media days. We text,
We're friends. He just can't seem to get over something
that that eleven years ago on college game day. He
(12:35):
claims I got him fired, and I think there's a
lot of truth to it, by the way, but he
just he will He's like that you know that that
high school girlfriend or boyfriend that's still carrying that that torch,
and he's going to show up at the wedding no
matter how many times you get married, to try to
destroy you.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Do you really think that Pat Hayden was watching College
Game Day and all of a sudden came to the realization,
as you said that that Lane Kiffin was the Miley
Cyrus of college coaches, and he went, oh, my god,
we've made a mistake.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
No, here's the story. I mean, this is given to
me by Lane Kiffin. I mean, he is my source
for this story. And he tells me that while I'm
on there by the way, my first first tryout at
college football, they put me on Game Did because SEC
network had not started, and I'm just rambling about Kiffen
what a bad coach he is. And in Arizona that
that morning, the Pat was watching the show having breakfast
(13:33):
with the president of USC who you know, we all
know presidents know nothing about sports, And all of a sudden,
this president sees what somebody looks like an authoritative figure
addressing Zain a suit and he said, Miley, Miley Syres
are college football, and if he doesn't win, to night,
he ought to be fired. And this is what Lane
told me. He said, the President looked at at Pat
(13:54):
Hayden and said, if we lose tonight, fire his ass.
That's Lane Kiffin's story, and now he's attacking me.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Doesn't Lane Kiffin aspire to be the Miley Cyrus of
college coaches?
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Well, you have to remember when I said that Miley's
career was dead.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Oh okay, and that.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Was part of his argument about me not knowing anything.
He said, Now Miley Cyrus owns, Oh, you just want
to grown me just you know, has the number one hits.
I mean, you can't win argue with Lane Kiffin because
he argues with you as as a seventeen year old.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
What was it like, though, to look at Nick Saban
as a co worker instead of the coach at Alabama?
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Yeah, you've done this with big time former coaches. It
was the most intimidating. We did a live thirty minute
show on ESPN two and it was by far the
most an hour show. I should say, the most intimidating
sixty minutes I've ever spent because every time you, Laura
Rutlich would say, well, Paul, what do you think about
Alabama and I'm looking at there's there's the guy who
left that program. I finally adjusted after my first just
(14:53):
non secretar, I said, great question, Laura, let's hear a
coach answer that. So he just answered everyone, and I questioned.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Always good to talk to you. Congrats on the new
contract there.
Speaker 4 (15:04):

with you, guys.

They're carving up that golf course. But John Ram's in there,
Tommy Fleetwood, a Decki Matsiama Rory's still in there as well.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I saw this on bleacher Report.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Five NFL teams most likely to disappoint this year twenty
twenty four.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
Fun.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Okay, you guys want to guess.
Speaker 9 (16:23):
The Dallas Cowboys for sure, are disappointing people.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
You have to have Dallas in no matter what it
could be. The five teams most likely to surprise you,
and Dallas would be there. Okay, Number five on the
list of teams that are most likely to disappoint Marvin,
I'll start with you, number five, the Detroit Lions. No,
(16:49):
that's a good one, Fauli.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
I'll go with the Philadelphia Eagles. Alrighty Todd, I.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
Think Pittsburgh Steelers are gonna have a rough.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
Go, Okay, Seaton o'cunnor, Los Angeles Chargers of ana.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
The LA Chargers of Anaheim. No, I've got the New
York Jets at number five. Number five disappointing. Yeah, how
about number four on this list? All I guess I
could give you their over underwin total eight and a half,
eight and a half. Number four out of the five
(17:22):
most likely to disappoint the LA Chargers, La Chargers.
Speaker 9 (17:30):
Oh, they are on the list, Yes they are. They're four.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Is that fair?
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I think if they got eight wins, nine wins, I
think that would be a pretty good year.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Yes, so, Marvin.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
But shouldn't this list be of people that or teams
that you think will make like a real impact, not
eight and a half if you're over under. Being top
four disappointing.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
I just saw this on bleacher Report.
Speaker 6 (17:55):
Come on bleacher Report.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Alex Ballantine.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Number three most likely to disappoint in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Eight and half.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
Wins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
No Paul eight and a half wins.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Number three on the list, the Houston Texas, no Todd,
the Saints no.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Yes to Yes see Jacksonville Jaguars.
Speaker 9 (18:23):
You know they're super disappointing.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Number two on the list of five NFL teams most
likely to disappoint.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Marvin, the Cleveland Brown No, Paulie. I want to go
to the Cowboys again. Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
It is blue over under ten and a half wins
and the number one NFL team most likely to disappoint
in twenty twenty four over under ten and a half.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Marvin the Cincinnati Bengals. No, that's a good guess. Paul
the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
No, huh, I was gonna say Buffalo too.
Speaker 9 (19:04):
Does anyone guessed the Cowboys? Yes, we just did.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
Well.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Since he guessed Buffalo, then you don't guess Buffalo, and
then you have any other team. Okay, I will say, yes,
it's the Baltimore Ravens. You did it, Seaton. So the
Baltimore Ravens are the team expected, at least according to Hport.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
I thought he's going to be the Goats like in
the next couple of years.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
I don't know, guaranteed to disappoint. Here, the Ravens won't
get an opportunity to get things figured out once the
season starts. They have the fourth toughest schedule in the
league per Warren Sharp. Let's see what the bottom line
is for the Dallas Cowboys. Uh, Cowboys are dealing with
(19:51):
the loss of an elite defensive coordinator, keep personnel, and
potential lane duck head coach. That's not the recipe for
another twelve win season the Jags, so they're over under
his eight and a half. The win total projects that
this team will be in the thick of the wild
card race again, but the actual product might come up
short of those expectations. Here's the Chargers. This could be
(20:17):
a longer rebuild project than some anticipated. When the Chargers
hire Jim Harbaugh and then you have the Jets. It's
also fairly ironic that their solution on the offensive tackle
positions were to sign Tyron Smith and trade for Morgan Moses.
Smith has missed at least a few games in every
(20:37):
season since twenty fifteen. Moses is thirty three years of age,
and health of the offensive line could be a big deal.
Rogers is back in the fold, but it's fair to
wonder if Robert Sala and his coaching staff are.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Able to get the most out of this roster.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Well, if you're going to get clicks, have the Cowboys
in there and the Jets guaranteed.
Speaker 10 (20:59):
Yeah, one thing for the Cowboys and the Eagles. It
doesn't feel like the other half of the division is
going to be much better this year. Commander's four wins
and I.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Think the Commanders are going to be But rookie better,
better than four wins.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I think they're going to be a seven win team.
Speaker 10 (21:17):
The Giants, good job getting rid of your best players.
You're not threatening out of the backfield.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
But you still got Danny Dimes and that's all you need.
I like how the owner came out and stood behind
the deal that they gave to Danny Dimes, Like, all right, see,
you made a bad move. Now you double down on
it by saying, hey, we made a good move here. Okay,
I still think you could have found a little money.
(21:44):
Could Danny Jones say to the team, I'm willing to
take a million dollars less each year if you give
that million dollars to Saquon Barkley.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Are you Are you able to like? That would have
been a good thing a couple of months. It's a
great idea.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
But if I'm Daniel Jones, I have Saquon Barkley and
Melik Neighbors. Okay, I got something, But without Saquon Barkley,
I have Malik Neighbors, who's really talented. I don't know
if NFL was you're able to take money out? Could
he write a con Could he write a check to
(22:23):
Saquon Barkley? So it's on salary cap issues.
Speaker 9 (22:26):
His name is Danny Dimes, Dan, not Danny handed off
to a guy.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
I checked, it's not.
Speaker 9 (22:31):
That's not his nickname.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
So he's dropping Dimes.
Speaker 9 (22:33):
He's what he's doing, Daniel Dimes, not Daniel hand it off.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Do you think if you said to him, hey, how
about we get rid of this nickname that nobody ever
brought this up? Do you think he'd sign up for that?
I'd be like, yeah, how about you just call me DJ.
You know, no, Danny Dimes not not a good nickname.
Let me see Christ in South Carolina. Hi, Chris, what's
on your mind today?
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Hey? Dan?
Speaker 11 (22:57):
Christ and South CAROLNTA. If you remember me took out
of the face you got knocked down on my pool
of my some here little tucker was licking the whipped cream.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Oh yeah, yes, yeah, give him out.
Speaker 11 (23:11):
A little tucker. Hey Dan, want to chit chime in
on the kickoff rule?
Speaker 5 (23:16):
Uh?
Speaker 11 (23:16):
Do you think eventually the kickoffs will just go away completely?
And uh, you know you would lose legends like Devin
Hester and Brian Mitchell And uh my question and I
can take the salt there is. Brian Mitchell deserves to
be in the Hall of Fame. He play quarterback, running back,
kick return puff returned just unbelievable stats. Do you think
he'd ever make it into the Hall of Fame? And
I don't take everything out there thinks.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
I don't know if he was ever really good at
one thing that the voters are going to go like
they go kicking and screaming when it comes to a
kicker going into the Hall of Fame or returner going
like Cordero Patterson has been an unbelievable kick returner, four
time All Pro. I don't think he's going into the
Hall of Fame. I think it's really really difficult when
(24:04):
you're a special player.
Speaker 8 (24:06):
I mean you're you're on special teams. Yes, Marvin and
guys like that. They need a signature moment like Devin Hester. Yeah,
they need a super Yeah. Yeah, I don't I don't
see that happening. And I think the NFL is going
to keep the kickoff, even if it's just kicking it
(24:27):
into the end zone like they have.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
You have to start a game somewhere. I don't know
if we want to tune in and go and here
we go. They're going to place it at the thirty
yard line. Ah, it's you still want to have a
ceremonial kick. Now you have movement. I'm okay with this.
I know I should be the get off my lawne guy,
(24:50):
but I'm like, that's not the way they should do it.
Not in mind day. I get it, but I know
what it is now or what it was. This is
an improvement. Any things in improvement if there's movement, Yes, Mark.
Speaker 8 (25:03):
Do you think teams now are going to have like
emergency kickoff and kickoff return teams, like you said, like
a Tyreek Hill if they're down by three points, Hey,
we need a big return. Or Fred Warner and those guys,
like the starting defense, you guys.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
Go out there for a kickoff.
Speaker 11 (25:17):
Sure.
Speaker 6 (25:18):
If it's late in the fourth quarter we need a stop.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Or if let's say we're down by four and we
got to get into touchdown range, I'm putting Tyreek Hill
out there, or Justin Jefferson or you know any of
my big, big time weapons. I would put them out there.
Dan and Ohio, Good morning, Dan. What's on your mind today?
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (25:39):
I hate to go so off topic, but it's you
brought up the Spiders situation and I'll last few days,
and I agree with you. It's one of those things
that people just missed, Like marketing wise, they just missed
(25:59):
the kids. Didn't Baseball want to get kids involved and they.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
Don't do it.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Well.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Okay, let me backtrack a little bit before you thank
you Dan for the phone call.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
I brought up.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
The Cleveland Guardians is just it's not a catchy name,
and you had the opportunity to go with the Cleveland Spiders.
That's who they used to be back in eighteen ninety nine,
Cleveland Spiders. You could have the Spider web out in
you know, left field. The mascot would be awesome, the
uniforms would be awesome, different Spiders that you could pay
(26:36):
tribute to.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
That fitted cab would just be what.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Yes, and I mean the Guardians, okay, but the Spiders,
that's a missed opportunity.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Yes See.
Speaker 9 (26:48):
People are pointing out that the Spiders did leave, and
that they didn't leave necessarily under good terms. And I
think they also had the worst season in baseball history statistics.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Nobody's still alive, correct, I know, I agree.
Speaker 9 (27:01):
I think the Spiders would be rad but there are
people in the Cleveland fans sphere that are like, nobody
wants the Spiders back.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
I think they're once again.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Nobody was alive back then in eighteen ninety nine to go,
oh man, that's a stain on the game.
Speaker 9 (27:16):
Still too painful, Still too painful, too soon?
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Yes, so the Cleveland Spiders.
Speaker 10 (27:22):
In eighteen ninety nine, the owners sold the team and
they took over a team in Saint Louis. The noop
owners changed the name of the team to the Cleveland
Lake Shores and that only lasted for like a year.
Then they became the Cleveland Blues. They changed their uniform color,
and then a couple years later the Cleveland Indians.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Cleveland Spiders.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Man, let's go, it'd be great, great, right, update the
poll results if you can see yep, we got a
few of them. Okay, working right now, and you're over under.
How many kickoffs will be turned for a touchdown this season?
Speaker 9 (28:01):
Nine or less? Ten or more? Actually, it's funny the
way we have it is nine or less, ten or less.
I think people get the point, though. Seventy four percent
have nine or less. We also have up there random one.
Would you love to play for Bill Belichick?
Speaker 6 (28:19):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Or hell no?
Speaker 9 (28:21):
Right now? Fifty five percent of the audience said hell no,
based on the story we got earlier. I think that
was a big hell no moment.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
I saw where Diana Russini, NFL reporter, said that Belichick's
doing this kind of media makeover, that he's now in
the media and all of a sudden, we're going to go, Wow,
all right, Bill's got personality. I mean that still does
it make me go, you know what, Now, I'm going
to hire him. He's going to be so much better
at the podium. You're either hiring Belichick or you're not.
(28:54):
He doesn't need a media makeover, but he's going to
be there, and it's going to be a topic. It'll
be a topic with the Cowboys, It'll be topic with
the Giants, It'll be a topic with the Eagles. Just
to name three teams, if they underachieve, Belichick's name will
be in the running for those teams, especially a team
like the Eagles, they're ready to win now, and even
(29:17):
the Cowboys with their talent. He would take over the
Giants where that was where he was starting defensive coordinator
with Bill Belichick, Bill Parcells winning a Super Bowl. But
I don't know if there's a media makeover therefore that
changes anything with Bill Belichick. He gets a year older,
(29:37):
and I mean he's set in his ways. Do you
want to turn the team over to him? Is he
just going to coach? Does he have to be the
GM again? That's a big commitment at this stage of
his life.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
Now.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
I know he may think young, Well, hold on, I've bad. Yeah,
he may act young, think young. Is he coaching young?
Because I don't know if his philosophy changes. The average
(30:13):
age in his household, is the average age on his
roster is is pretty low?
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Five year contract.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Yeah, I don't know if him doing media makes me
change my opinion on him. You have to be totally
fully committed to Belichick. Where you all right, Bill, here's
your team? Jerry Jones didn't gonna do that. The Eagles
would are the Giants going to Buffalo?
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Yeah? See.
Speaker 9 (30:42):
It would be interesting, though, to get a glimpse of
that guy that you always heard about behind the scenes,
that's like the fun, laughy Bill Belichie.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
I don't think he's changing.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
I think he might be that in front of a
camera being paid to be joky, funny tell stories. When
he goes back to be and a coach, He's not
gonna be like, hey, guys, I got listen to this.
I got a one liner era it's gonna kill you.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
You have dad jokes or something, It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (31:13):
I still think he's like like Ace Ventura when he's
like talking with his buddy excuse me, excuse my breath, smell.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
I think that that's what Bill Belichick is actually like.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Do you think privately he's like that, like he does
little puppet games with his you know, his hock.
Speaker 9 (31:31):
Super juvenile, super juvenile.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Yeah, yeah, there you go.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
Yeah, Bill so crazy?
Speaker 9 (31:42):
Bill you crazy?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Who do you think is actually more entertaining privately? Greg
Popovich or Bill Belichick? Or I think Nick Saban might be.
I could grief. So if I put Saban, Popovich, and
Belichick into.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
A room, go Pop.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
I'm gonna go Pop.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
See.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
I know Pop drinks wine, so that might loosen him
up and help him a little bit. Saban, Saban and
Belichick sound the same inb that's a great line. Hey,
I've got this one liner. It's awesome. Whereas Pop might
be all right into his cups a little bit might
get a little saucy yem Paul.
Speaker 10 (32:27):
I'm gonna disagree. I'm gonna go coach Saban on this show.
He's told us about air guitar at the lake House.
We've heard about that.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
The Jets slow down there.
Speaker 10 (32:35):
We also broke the these nuts revelations four years ago
on that show.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
We broke that story true. That shows a lot.
Speaker 9 (32:42):
Okay, Yeah, there was a documentary on somewhere on the Patriots.
I forget which it was, but there was this piece
of video Bill Belichick away from the game and he's
out on his boat. Yeah, and he's sailing out of
whatever marina he's in or motoring his way out of
this marina, and he's at the wheel or whatever it is,
the helm, the helm, yeah, the con and he says, now,
(33:06):
this is what I call fun and smiles, and I
was like, oh my god, this dude, Now, this is
what I call fun.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
But this is where I disagree with Diana Russini that
this media makeover, like who nobody's buying this, that he's
going to be that when he goes back into coaching.
Speaker 8 (33:24):
Yes, Ma, Saban's dry humor is probably hilarious and his
dancing is underrated.
Speaker 6 (33:31):
Also, Cuba shuffle electric slide.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Yeah, yes, Tom, have you ever seen a hardy laugh
though from like Saban of Belichick. Yeah, that type wigges
that was funny when you say something instead of laughing.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Yes, they don't strike me as they're going to laugh
that They might be like, I don't want to laugh
because but I.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
I see what you did.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
That was pretty fun that was funny. Yeah, yes, yeah,
they make the jokes. I'm in charge of the jokes
around here.
Speaker 9 (33:57):
They have to be the funniest person in the room.
Speaker 6 (33:59):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
At a must laugh situation.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Well, when you're in a room of the comedian, a
professional comedian, it's rare when they laugh at you. Usually
they're the ones, Hey, I get the jokes here. They
all laugh at each other. Comedians always laugh at what
another comedian says.
Speaker 9 (34:14):
But if you're not a comic, they don't laugh.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
I will say, Adam Sandler and Will Ferrell do laugh
if you tell a good joke or you say something
funny there. And I don't think it's courtesy laughs. I
don't think so. I mean, maybe that's why they're good actors,
that Sandler and Will Ferrell laugh at my jokes and
I think that it's actually funny. Maybe it's not. Maybe
(34:38):
maybe that it is a courtesy. All right, let me
take a break. I got chicken wings to eat out there.
I can see them right now. All right, We'll take
a break. Come on now back after this.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show week days at nine am Eastern, six AM
Pacific Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAPP.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Last call for phone calls, what we learned, what's in
store tomorrow. I am getting old. I'm lame, I admit it.
Yesterday was going to go see Hooty and the Blowfish.
They were in Hartford, Connecticut, and Marvin said he wanted
to go see Hoody and I said, all right. And
then I find out that they weren't going to go
on stage until ten o'clock last night, and I said,
(35:27):
it's a school night, and their manager, Mike Kelly goes,
it's the only show that they're going to do where
they go on at ten o'clock at night. They're off
at midnight. By the time we're backstage and having fun,
frolicking and then get on the road and get back home,
it was going to be probably one thirty. And I said,
I can't do that to this audience. And Marvin said
(35:49):
that he could, and I said, no, you shouldn't do that.
And you know what, we decided together that we weren't
going to go see Hooty and the Blowfish last night.
Speaker 6 (35:59):
How do you blow off the blowfish?
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Is that that's how we're gonna end.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
The way a few minutes left?
Speaker 6 (36:07):
Yeah, yes, Martin, it ended like it started with Rizzie too.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Yeh buzzkill.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Yeah, So we blew off the Blowfish last night, and uh,
I just couldn't do it. Ten o'clock start. That's late
on a school night. Late if it was Friday night.
I mean we'll roll till the morning.
Speaker 6 (36:29):
Oh, come on to the break of dawn.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
Yeah, all right, this day sports history? What we learn?
Speaker 2 (36:36):
What's in store for Monday? By the way, if you
haven't seen my my new favorite player, Bobby Witt Junior
the third, he did it again. Let's see in his
last twenty four games. He's batting for eighty nine for
Kansas City. The odds, according to DraftKings, second best odds
to win the MVP, behind Aaron Judge's overwhelming favorite to
(36:58):
win the MVP. I think if you're great for Kansas City,
that should trump being great for the Yankees, right, Bobby
Witt Junior has been unbelievable. Gunner Henderson for the Oriols,
he has been unbelievable, But Aaron Judge is the overwhelming
favorite to.
Speaker 9 (37:15):
Win bigger stage.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
It's harder, no, playing for a team in a mid
Midwest that nobody really cares about nationally.
Speaker 9 (37:25):
Why is that so hard?
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Because you got to get up for a game, Aaron Judge,
every game you're ready to go. It's important. Bobby Witt Junior,
the third has to show up and go.
Speaker 9 (37:36):
Hmm, that's funny. I always thought that it was harder.
Like Dak Prescott. The reason his job is so hard
is because it's the Cowboys quarterback. It's a bigger stage.
It's like a big deal.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Is hard?
Speaker 9 (37:46):
Is it harder to be like the quarterback in Jacksonville?
M You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Well, the Cowboys job quarterback is different than any other
position in any other sport. There's so much tension attached
to then nobody comes close to that. I mean, Mahomes
doesn't face anywhere near the scrutiny that Dak does or
Aaron Rodgers that Dak does. But yeah, I get that,
(38:13):
but I would think it'd be tougher to get up
for a game if you're not on a team that
has any expectations as opposed to every game when you
show up there's there's excitement built in. So maybe maybe
I approach it differently. It's like every day is the
super Bowl on this show. Let me see a couple
of phone calls. How about this day sports history, Paulie,
(38:38):
I want to make sure you have ample time.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
Oh, thank you? Okay.
Speaker 10 (38:41):
Nineteen twenty one, eight White Sox baseball players were acquitted,
acquitted of throwing the nineteen nineteen World.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
And then they get banned the next day.
Speaker 10 (38:48):
Correct. Kennasaw mountain Land is great name, by the way
for a commissioner.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
Not many people aren't named Kennesaw anymore.
Speaker 10 (38:55):
Yeah, and Mountain not a popular middle name. It's not
his nickname. It wasn't like like eighty yeah outain, that's
his actual name. He banned them because of their knowledge
and failure to report it. And let's see Michael Phelps
won gold medal number sixteen once more after that. Okay,
and nineteen thirty eight, bright yellow baseballs were used in
(39:15):
Major League Baseball. They hoped they'd be easier to see
for the players and the fans that quickly went away.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
Hmm, that's it.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Let me seem remember tay of Phillo Stevenson nineteen eighty
Cuban heavyweight. They became the first fighter to win three
Olympic gold medals in the same division. He was a
big deal back then.
Speaker 9 (39:39):
Kennessaw a mountain in a real place, by the way, Yes,
I've been there. Yeah, yeah, a real place you can
go to.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
Yeah, Georgia who was named after whom M fair fair quest?
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Okay that I didn't follow up and asked that question.
Let's see, let's go around the room. What we learned
on the program? Man, those wings are good? D I
got I got a crack of beer here. I mean
in a couple of minutes.
Speaker 9 (40:04):
It's Friday.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
Yeah, I know it is right, Todd, what'd you learn today?
Speaker 5 (40:08):
The team USA three and three Olympic basketball rosters leave
something to be desired.
Speaker 6 (40:11):
We can forgive, but will never forget.
Speaker 9 (40:13):
See O'Connor all finebomb is in the content business.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
You see is smart?
Speaker 6 (40:17):
Then there's really six hundred and thirteen commandments.

You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's the final hour on this Friday. It's a mead Friday.
At that we have Beer Brian Buffalo chicken Wings Miller Lite.
They gave us the recipe here. That's the Beer Brian
Buffalo chicken Wings, smoked potato salad. Who has it better
than we do? Some of the headlines before we get
(00:25):
to the popular Paul Finebaum, the voice of the sec.
Simone Biles wins gold, individual wins gold with the team.
Katie Ledecci now the most decorated female swimmer of all
time in the United States with thirteen medals, and the
Bears beat the Texans. The new kickoff rule, the dynamic kickoff,
(00:46):
I thought was a success.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I didn't expect anything.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Therefore, I couldn't be disappointed if I wasn't expecting anything,
because that's what's happened with the previous kickoffs, they go
into the end zone.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
This at least had more movement.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Seven of the eight kickoffs were return Our Interview of
the Day Mercedes Benz Interview of the Day brought to

Days are here exceptional offers on the cle Coop E

(01:21):
dream Pole. Question for the final hour is going to
be what seed no O'Connor. Yeah, we got a couple
of them up there, Dan. Number of kickoffs returned for
a touchdown this season nine or less, ten or more?
Right now, seventy five percent of the audience have nine
or less.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
I gave the over under nine and a half, and
I thought, okay, maybe because last year there were total
of four kickoffs return I'm gonna stay at nine and
a half. I think that's fair. I think somebody's going
to have a good strategy. They're going to figure out something,
and you're going to have some dangerous like I would
certainly consider Tyreek Hill back there, or Jalen Waddell or
(02:00):
both if I'm the Miami Dolphins. But I think somebody's
going to do something with their talent and create some
kind of scheme that's going to give you an advantage.
Somebody's going to do that, all right, eight seven to
seven to three DP show email address DP at Danpatrick
dot Com, Twitter handle at DP show. Good morning if
(02:22):
you're watching on Peacock, And if you're watching on Peacock,
you're going to see Paul Finebaum of the Paul Finebaumb Show.
He's the voice of the SEC. What do you think
over under new kickoff rule nine and a half touchdowns
this year? I'm going to say under hmm, okay, Now,
can you see college football changing to this anytime soon
(02:46):
where they adopt the NFL's new kickoff rule?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
I don't know why not, Dan, considering everything else in
college football represents and resembles the NFL right now, So
if it makes him a few more dollars, I'd say
they go for it.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
But they don't change their rules that often though.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
They're they're a tough group because they have a bunch
of former coaches on these committees. But I think they'll
sit back and you know, talk about it, consult the lawyers,
maybe try to settle a case, and ultimately reacted. They're
not They're not a quick acting group.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Yeah, but I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
We don't hear about players safety in college We hear
about player safety in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Why is that.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Because you haven't seen as much activity from from a
legal standpoint, like we went through years ago with the concussions,
and I mean I hear it occasionally. I hear it
emphasize how much we care, and quite frankly, Dan, then
I don't hear anything else about it.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, I wondered about that. I thought that there was
a ground swell years ago for some kind of litigation.
But it feels like everything there's a ground swell some
kind of litigation. Then it kind of dissipates when it
come to college football the regular season now, in particular
with the Big Ten in the SEC, the importance of
(04:08):
the Big Ten schedule during the regular season is going
to be what.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
It's critical if you don't have Ohio State on your schedule,
if you don't have a road game. Let's say at
Oregon you're going to Benfit and you were so used
to the traditional swan at the end of the season
about Penn State losing in successful weeks to Michigan and
Ohio State, and that doesn't happen right now. It's a
(04:34):
convoluted schedule, primarily because you now have four West Coast schools,
and everybody tried to come up with a fair and
equimentble plan but it doesn't work out that way.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
And I'm also wondering about this where Notre Dame can't
be ranked, can't be seated higher than fifth correct, even
if they're the number one team in the country. If
the playoffs start, they're fifth correct.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
That correct, And that's just Notre Dame making sure they
have a spot, but not having to do the dirty work.
I mean, you have to love Notre Dame.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
They they have to play their way out of the playoffs. Paul,
I don't know how they can.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
This year, Franky, because I mean they have a I mean,
you know they I mean last year they went I
believe to Ohow State. I mean that's a that's a
dangerous game. They replaced that this year there and they
always play them, but they're at USC hardly the same impact.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
And then you're looking at so SEC and Big Ten.
Are they guaranteed any spot there? Like the winner of
the Big Ten and the winner of the SEC. What's
the lowest that they can be seated?
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Yeah, I mean they won't be very low. I mean
they'll be grandfathered in. So you know, you said Grant,
you said guaranteed. I have this funny feeling that you know,
that if the number goes below three, the CF will
kind of go poof, like like at the beginning of
Mission impossible, because we all know not the State retreaded
(06:05):
information here that the SEC in the Big Ten now
have this alliance where they essentially run the sport. It's
been reported that the Big Ten tried to guarantee in
the new agreements that they would either the SEC or
the Big Ten would be number one, regardless of record.
Fortunately that did not.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Go your favorite pinata, Lincoln Riley. Well, yes, why like
why Lincoln Riley? It just seems that that draws your ire.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Oh, Dan, you have to remember college football takes a
hiatus for a number of months, and then we parachute
back in July, and I'm suddenly appearing with steven A
and Greene and the Dan Patrick Show. So I've got
to come up with new material. I work through it,
and then when I go on tour in the fall,
I used to whatever works the best. I answered this.
(07:01):
I frankly did say a lot of things about Lincoln
Riley recently, and I meant them. I don't think he's
a great elite coach, and I know that the pushback
is well, look, at what he did at Oklahoma. I
know what he did there. He inherited a masterpiece from
Bob Stoops. And yes, he was able to maneuver and
finesse Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray into Heisman trophies. And
(07:25):
he nearly got one for Jalen Hurtz, and he did
get one for Caleb Williams. But it's really what he
hasn't done that I think is so noteworthy. And he
hasn't won a championship and he really hasn't even come
close because Lincoln Riley has just forgotten one of those
tenets of defense at the special teams offense and can
we all say in Unison defense He's never been on
(07:47):
speaking terms with the word defense in his career.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
But okay, he has to know that this is a problem.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
All right, you would think.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
But you think Dion could come into USC and make
more sense than Lincoln.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Right, that's not going to happen. That's not going to happen.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
I heard what you said about that. I got a
chance to listen to you, and everything you said, Dan
make perfect sense, except that I wasn't like saying I've
done six months of research on presenting my case as
a Solicitor General to the Supreme Court. I mean, I
just threw it out on first take and the next thing.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
You know, you can't just throw it out, Paul, you
know better than that.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Well, I was trying to get a new deal with ESPN.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I figured out, well, congratulations, you accomplished that. I don't
know if Dion can coach. I don't know if he
can recruit.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
I don't Dan, you're about to get attacked by the
Dion police.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Look, I would say it to him. He won four
games last year. The over under this year is five
and a half. I said, if you didn't get Dion
last year, you're not going to get him this year.
I might have to amend that. So I'm thinking Dion
is going to be better this year. And if he isn't,
he loses Travis Hunter, he loses his son.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I mean, come on, you're you're.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Right, Okay, I agree with you, Except Neon's not really
a coach.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
He's a producer, ceo.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
He you know, he's like they bring they bring Spielberg
into the movie. He fixes it up. He gets a
lot of special effect. That's what he does. And my
argument a couple of weeks ago was that you bring
him into La, the town is on fire, just like
it was for about a minute under Lincoln Raley. He
had everything going for him and then suddenly he didn't.
And my argument about La is it's a it's a
(09:37):
town of winners. They don't like the losers out there,
and suddenly Lincoln Riley looks like a loser. And I
think it's going to continue that way. So, no, Dion
is not Bill Belichick and Nick Saban wrapped into one.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
But but he is a dynamic figure. He gets ratings,
he brings excitement, and that brings.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Players coach with more pressure. Are we going to look
at Tron Moore or we're gonna look at Kaylin de
Boer at Alabama?
Speaker 4 (10:08):
I think it's Kaylen de Boor because Cheril Moore was
that you know, he had a hand in that national
championship last year, you know, taking over a couple of
games for Jim Parvum and by do I do I
miss Jim Barba already? But uh, the Boor if he
doesn't go to the playoffs, Uh, this season is a failure.
And I'm not being harsh. That's just the standard at
(10:29):
Alabama and the worst thing for him is that the fans,
they may have seen Nick Saban leave, but their attitude
remains the same. Uh and and they'll give him a
pass this year. You don't have to win the title,
but you better get somewhere close to it. And Savans,
you know, did Sabans boil them? Of course he did.
Even with not ddage Saban teams. He was able to
(10:50):
knock off Georgia last year and stop that run.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
What do you think happens with this investigation, the report
about the report about a potential report about Michigan and
the cheating scandal.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
I would be shocked if Michigan loses postseason. That's just
not the way the NCAA operates any longer. And considering
that they started investigating Tennessee a few months ago and
the next thing you know, it was in court and
they were getting swatted down, and all of a sudden,
it's seemingly gone away. I don't think they have the
fortitude to go after someone like Michigan. I think they
(11:24):
hate Michigan with a passion, but I don't think they'll
be able to do that.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
The who's the ut in the SEC Tennessee has been
Grandfather I know this is big to Texas, this is important,
but you know I have to ask the question.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
You're the voice of the sec.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Yeah, I had an expert the other day. He actually
investigated it. And without Tennessee and David Crockett, there would
be no Texas right now. So even though I'm prejudice
having been a graduate of the University of Tennessee, it's
it's no contendery. It's it's ut Knoxville. That's where the
action is.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Is your relationship with Lane Kiffin.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
It depends he's a very moody guy in because you.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Haven't noticed, Okay, but how serious was he when you
guys were live and it felt like there was a
little tension between you two.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Dan, I hate to burst a great feud, but that
happened on a Monday at five point forty five, and
suddenly on Thursday you got reported in the media that
it had been the moment of media days. We text,
We're friends. He just can't seem to get over something
that that eleven years ago on college game day. He
(12:35):
claims I got him fired, and I think there's a
lot of truth to it, by the way, but he
just he will He's like that you know that that
high school girlfriend or boyfriend that's still carrying that that torch,
and he's going to show up at the wedding no
matter how many times you get married, to try to
destroy you.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Do you really think that Pat Hayden was watching College
Game Day and all of a sudden came to the realization,
as you said that that Lane Kiffin was the Miley
Cyrus of college coaches, and he went, oh, my god,
we've made a mistake.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
No, here's the story. I mean, this is given to
me by Lane Kiffin. I mean, he is my source
for this story. And he tells me that while I'm
on there by the way, my first first tryout at
college football, they put me on Game Did because SEC
network had not started, and I'm just rambling about Kiffen
what a bad coach he is. And in Arizona that
that morning, the Pat was watching the show having breakfast
(13:33):
with the president of USC who you know, we all
know presidents know nothing about sports, And all of a sudden,
this president sees what somebody looks like an authoritative figure
addressing Zain a suit and he said, Miley, Miley Syres
are college football, and if he doesn't win, to night,
he ought to be fired. And this is what Lane
told me. He said, the President looked at at Pat
(13:54):
Hayden and said, if we lose tonight, fire his ass.
That's Lane Kiffin's story, and now he's attacking me.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Doesn't Lane Kiffin aspire to be the Miley Cyrus of
college coaches?
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Well, you have to remember when I said that Miley's
career was dead.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Oh okay, and that.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Was part of his argument about me not knowing anything.
He said, Now Miley Cyrus owns, Oh, you just want
to grown me just you know, has the number one hits.
I mean, you can't win argue with Lane Kiffin because
he argues with you as as a seventeen year old.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
What was it like, though, to look at Nick Saban
as a co worker instead of the coach at Alabama?
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Yeah, you've done this with big time former coaches. It
was the most intimidating. We did a live thirty minute
show on ESPN two and it was by far the
most an hour show. I should say, the most intimidating
sixty minutes I've ever spent because every time you, Laura
Rutlich would say, well, Paul, what do you think about
Alabama and I'm looking at there's there's the guy who
left that program. I finally adjusted after my first just
(14:53):
non secretar, I said, great question, Laura, let's hear a
coach answer that. So he just answered everyone, and I questioned.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Always good to talk to you. Congrats on the new
contract there.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Thank you, Thank you, Dan Mapars were great to be
with you, guys.

They're carving up that golf course. But John Ram's in there,
Tommy Fleetwood, a Decki Matsiama Rory's still in there as well.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I saw this on bleacher Report.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Five NFL teams most likely to disappoint this year twenty
twenty four.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
Fun.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Okay, you guys want to guess.
Speaker 9 (16:23):
The Dallas Cowboys for sure, are disappointing people.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
You have to have Dallas in no matter what it
could be. The five teams most likely to surprise you,
and Dallas would be there. Okay, Number five on the
list of teams that are most likely to disappoint Marvin,
I'll start with you, number five, the Detroit Lions. No,
(16:49):
that's a good one, Fauli.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
I'll go with the Philadelphia Eagles. Alrighty Todd, I.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
Think Pittsburgh Steelers are gonna have a rough.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
Go, Okay, Seaton o'cunnor, Los Angeles Chargers of ana.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
The LA Chargers of Anaheim. No, I've got the New
York Jets at number five. Number five disappointing. Yeah, how
about number four on this list? All I guess I
could give you their over underwin total eight and a half,
eight and a half. Number four out of the five
(17:22):
most likely to disappoint the LA Chargers, La Chargers.
Speaker 9 (17:30):
Oh, they are on the list, Yes they are. They're four.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Is that fair?
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I think if they got eight wins, nine wins, I
think that would be a pretty good year.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Yes, so, Marvin.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
But shouldn't this list be of people that or teams
that you think will make like a real impact, not
eight and a half if you're over under. Being top
four disappointing.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
I just saw this on bleacher Report.
Speaker 6 (17:55):
Come on bleacher Report.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Alex Ballantine.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Number three most likely to disappoint in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Eight and half.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
Wins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
No Paul eight and a half wins.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Number three on the list, the Houston Texas, no Todd,
the Saints no.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Yes to Yes see Jacksonville Jaguars.
Speaker 9 (18:23):
You know they're super disappointing.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Number two on the list of five NFL teams most
likely to disappoint.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Marvin, the Cleveland Brown No, Paulie. I want to go
to the Cowboys again. Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
It is blue over under ten and a half wins
and the number one NFL team most likely to disappoint
in twenty twenty four over under ten and a half.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Marvin the Cincinnati Bengals. No, that's a good guess. Paul
the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
No, huh, I was gonna say Buffalo too.
Speaker 9 (19:04):
Does anyone guessed the Cowboys? Yes, we just did.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
Well.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Since he guessed Buffalo, then you don't guess Buffalo, and
then you have any other team. Okay, I will say, yes,
it's the Baltimore Ravens. You did it, Seaton. So the
Baltimore Ravens are the team expected, at least according to Hport.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
I thought he's going to be the Goats like in
the next couple of years.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
I don't know, guaranteed to disappoint. Here, the Ravens won't
get an opportunity to get things figured out once the
season starts. They have the fourth toughest schedule in the
league per Warren Sharp. Let's see what the bottom line
is for the Dallas Cowboys. Uh, Cowboys are dealing with
(19:51):
the loss of an elite defensive coordinator, keep personnel, and
potential lane duck head coach. That's not the recipe for
another twelve win season the Jags, so they're over under
his eight and a half. The win total projects that
this team will be in the thick of the wild
card race again, but the actual product might come up
short of those expectations. Here's the Chargers. This could be
(20:17):
a longer rebuild project than some anticipated. When the Chargers
hire Jim Harbaugh and then you have the Jets. It's
also fairly ironic that their solution on the offensive tackle
positions were to sign Tyron Smith and trade for Morgan Moses.
Smith has missed at least a few games in every
(20:37):
season since twenty fifteen. Moses is thirty three years of age,
and health of the offensive line could be a big deal.
Rogers is back in the fold, but it's fair to
wonder if Robert Sala and his coaching staff are.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Able to get the most out of this roster.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Well, if you're going to get clicks, have the Cowboys
in there and the Jets guaranteed.
Speaker 10 (20:59):
Yeah, one thing for the Cowboys and the Eagles. It
doesn't feel like the other half of the division is
going to be much better this year. Commander's four wins
and I.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Think the Commanders are going to be But rookie better,
better than four wins.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I think they're going to be a seven win team.
Speaker 10 (21:17):
The Giants, good job getting rid of your best players.
You're not threatening out of the backfield.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
But you still got Danny Dimes and that's all you need.
I like how the owner came out and stood behind
the deal that they gave to Danny Dimes, Like, all right, see,
you made a bad move. Now you double down on
it by saying, hey, we made a good move here. Okay,
I still think you could have found a little money.
(21:44):
Could Danny Jones say to the team, I'm willing to
take a million dollars less each year if you give
that million dollars to Saquon Barkley.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Are you Are you able to like? That would have
been a good thing a couple of months. It's a
great idea.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
But if I'm Daniel Jones, I have Saquon Barkley and
Melik Neighbors. Okay, I got something, But without Saquon Barkley,
I have Malik Neighbors, who's really talented. I don't know
if NFL was you're able to take money out? Could
he write a con Could he write a check to
(22:23):
Saquon Barkley? So it's on salary cap issues.
Speaker 9 (22:26):
His name is Danny Dimes, Dan, not Danny handed off
to a guy.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
I checked, it's not.
Speaker 9 (22:31):
That's not his nickname.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
So he's dropping Dimes.
Speaker 9 (22:33):
He's what he's doing, Daniel Dimes, not Daniel hand it off.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Do you think if you said to him, hey, how
about we get rid of this nickname that nobody ever
brought this up? Do you think he'd sign up for that?
I'd be like, yeah, how about you just call me DJ.
You know, no, Danny Dimes not not a good nickname.
Let me see Christ in South Carolina. Hi, Chris, what's
on your mind today?
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Hey? Dan?
Speaker 11 (22:57):
Christ and South CAROLNTA. If you remember me took out
of the face you got knocked down on my pool
of my some here little tucker was licking the whipped cream.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Oh yeah, yes, yeah, give him out.
Speaker 11 (23:11):
A little tucker. Hey Dan, want to chit chime in
on the kickoff rule?
Speaker 5 (23:16):
Uh?
Speaker 11 (23:16):
Do you think eventually the kickoffs will just go away completely?
And uh, you know you would lose legends like Devin
Hester and Brian Mitchell And uh my question and I
can take the salt there is. Brian Mitchell deserves to
be in the Hall of Fame. He play quarterback, running back,
kick return puff returned just unbelievable stats. Do you think
he'd ever make it into the Hall of Fame? And
I don't take everything out there thinks.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
I don't know if he was ever really good at
one thing that the voters are going to go like
they go kicking and screaming when it comes to a
kicker going into the Hall of Fame or returner going
like Cordero Patterson has been an unbelievable kick returner, four
time All Pro. I don't think he's going into the
Hall of Fame. I think it's really really difficult when
(24:04):
you're a special player.
Speaker 8 (24:06):
I mean you're you're on special teams. Yes, Marvin and
guys like that. They need a signature moment like Devin Hester. Yeah,
they need a super Yeah. Yeah, I don't I don't
see that happening. And I think the NFL is going
to keep the kickoff, even if it's just kicking it
(24:27):
into the end zone like they have.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
You have to start a game somewhere. I don't know
if we want to tune in and go and here
we go. They're going to place it at the thirty
yard line. Ah, it's you still want to have a
ceremonial kick. Now you have movement. I'm okay with this.
I know I should be the get off my lawne guy,
(24:50):
but I'm like, that's not the way they should do it.
Not in mind day. I get it, but I know
what it is now or what it was. This is
an improvement. Any things in improvement if there's movement, Yes, Mark.
Speaker 8 (25:03):
Do you think teams now are going to have like
emergency kickoff and kickoff return teams, like you said, like
a Tyreek Hill if they're down by three points, Hey,
we need a big return. Or Fred Warner and those guys,
like the starting defense, you guys.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
Go out there for a kickoff.
Speaker 11 (25:17):
Sure.
Speaker 6 (25:18):
If it's late in the fourth quarter we need a stop.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Or if let's say we're down by four and we
got to get into touchdown range, I'm putting Tyreek Hill
out there, or Justin Jefferson or you know any of
my big, big time weapons. I would put them out there.
Dan and Ohio, Good morning, Dan. What's on your mind today?
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (25:39):
I hate to go so off topic, but it's you
brought up the Spiders situation and I'll last few days,
and I agree with you. It's one of those things
that people just missed, Like marketing wise, they just missed
(25:59):
the kids. Didn't Baseball want to get kids involved and they.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
Don't do it.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Well.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Okay, let me backtrack a little bit before you thank
you Dan for the phone call.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
I brought up.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
The Cleveland Guardians is just it's not a catchy name,
and you had the opportunity to go with the Cleveland Spiders.
That's who they used to be back in eighteen ninety nine,
Cleveland Spiders. You could have the Spider web out in
you know, left field. The mascot would be awesome, the
uniforms would be awesome, different Spiders that you could pay
(26:36):
tribute to.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
That fitted cab would just be what.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Yes, and I mean the Guardians, okay, but the Spiders,
that's a missed opportunity.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Yes See.
Speaker 9 (26:48):
People are pointing out that the Spiders did leave, and
that they didn't leave necessarily under good terms. And I
think they also had the worst season in baseball history statistics.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Nobody's still alive, correct, I know, I agree.
Speaker 9 (27:01):
I think the Spiders would be rad but there are
people in the Cleveland fans sphere that are like, nobody
wants the Spiders back.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
I think they're once again.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Nobody was alive back then in eighteen ninety nine to go,
oh man, that's a stain on the game.
Speaker 9 (27:16):
Still too painful, Still too painful, too soon?
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Yes, so the Cleveland Spiders.
Speaker 10 (27:22):
In eighteen ninety nine, the owners sold the team and
they took over a team in Saint Louis. The noop
owners changed the name of the team to the Cleveland
Lake Shores and that only lasted for like a year.
Then they became the Cleveland Blues. They changed their uniform color,
and then a couple years later the Cleveland Indians.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Cleveland Spiders.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Man, let's go, it'd be great, great, right, update the
poll results if you can see yep, we got a
few of them. Okay, working right now, and you're over under.
How many kickoffs will be turned for a touchdown this season?
Speaker 9 (28:01):
Nine or less? Ten or more? Actually, it's funny the
way we have it is nine or less, ten or less.
I think people get the point, though. Seventy four percent
have nine or less. We also have up there random one.
Would you love to play for Bill Belichick?
Speaker 6 (28:19):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Or hell no?
Speaker 9 (28:21):
Right now? Fifty five percent of the audience said hell no,
based on the story we got earlier. I think that
was a big hell no moment.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
I saw where Diana Russini, NFL reporter, said that Belichick's
doing this kind of media makeover, that he's now in
the media and all of a sudden, we're going to go, Wow,
all right, Bill's got personality. I mean that still does
it make me go, you know what, Now, I'm going
to hire him. He's going to be so much better
at the podium. You're either hiring Belichick or you're not.
(28:54):
He doesn't need a media makeover, but he's going to
be there, and it's going to be a topic. It'll
be a topic with the Cowboys, It'll be topic with
the Giants, It'll be a topic with the Eagles. Just
to name three teams, if they underachieve, Belichick's name will
be in the running for those teams, especially a team
like the Eagles, they're ready to win now, and even
(29:17):
the Cowboys with their talent. He would take over the
Giants where that was where he was starting defensive coordinator
with Bill Belichick, Bill Parcells winning a Super Bowl. But
I don't know if there's a media makeover therefore that
changes anything with Bill Belichick. He gets a year older,
(29:37):
and I mean he's set in his ways. Do you
want to turn the team over to him? Is he
just going to coach? Does he have to be the
GM again? That's a big commitment at this stage of
his life.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
Now.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
I know he may think young, Well, hold on, I've bad. Yeah,
he may act young, think young. Is he coaching young?
Because I don't know if his philosophy changes. The average
(30:13):
age in his household, is the average age on his
roster is is pretty low?
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Five year contract.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Yeah, I don't know if him doing media makes me
change my opinion on him. You have to be totally
fully committed to Belichick. Where you all right, Bill, here's
your team? Jerry Jones didn't gonna do that. The Eagles
would are the Giants going to Buffalo?
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Yeah? See.
Speaker 9 (30:42):
It would be interesting, though, to get a glimpse of
that guy that you always heard about behind the scenes,
that's like the fun, laughy Bill Belichie.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
I don't think he's changing.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
I think he might be that in front of a
camera being paid to be joky, funny tell stories. When
he goes back to be and a coach, He's not
gonna be like, hey, guys, I got listen to this.
I got a one liner era it's gonna kill you.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
You have dad jokes or something, It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (31:13):
I still think he's like like Ace Ventura when he's
like talking with his buddy excuse me, excuse my breath, smell.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
I think that that's what Bill Belichick is actually like.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Do you think privately he's like that, like he does
little puppet games with his you know, his hock.
Speaker 9 (31:31):
Super juvenile, super juvenile.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Yeah, yeah, there you go.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
Yeah, Bill so crazy?
Speaker 9 (31:42):
Bill you crazy?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Who do you think is actually more entertaining privately? Greg
Popovich or Bill Belichick? Or I think Nick Saban might be.
I could grief. So if I put Saban, Popovich, and
Belichick into.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
A room, go Pop.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
I'm gonna go Pop.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
See.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
I know Pop drinks wine, so that might loosen him
up and help him a little bit. Saban, Saban and
Belichick sound the same inb that's a great line. Hey,
I've got this one liner. It's awesome. Whereas Pop might
be all right into his cups a little bit might
get a little saucy yem Paul.
Speaker 10 (32:27):
I'm gonna disagree. I'm gonna go coach Saban on this show.
He's told us about air guitar at the lake House.
We've heard about that.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
The Jets slow down there.
Speaker 10 (32:35):
We also broke the these nuts revelations four years ago
on that show.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
We broke that story true. That shows a lot.
Speaker 9 (32:42):
Okay, Yeah, there was a documentary on somewhere on the Patriots.
I forget which it was, but there was this piece
of video Bill Belichick away from the game and he's
out on his boat. Yeah, and he's sailing out of
whatever marina he's in or motoring his way out of
this marina, and he's at the wheel or whatever it is,
the helm, the helm, yeah, the con and he says, now,
(33:06):
this is what I call fun and smiles, and I
was like, oh my god, this dude, Now, this is
what I call fun.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
But this is where I disagree with Diana Russini that
this media makeover, like who nobody's buying this, that he's
going to be that when he goes back into coaching.
Speaker 8 (33:24):
Yes, Ma, Saban's dry humor is probably hilarious and his
dancing is underrated.
Speaker 6 (33:31):
Also, Cuba shuffle electric slide.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Yeah, yes, Tom, have you ever seen a hardy laugh
though from like Saban of Belichick. Yeah, that type wigges
that was funny when you say something instead of laughing.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Yes, they don't strike me as they're going to laugh
that They might be like, I don't want to laugh
because but I.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
I see what you did.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
That was pretty fun that was funny. Yeah, yes, yeah,
they make the jokes. I'm in charge of the jokes
around here.
Speaker 9 (33:57):
They have to be the funniest person in the room.
Speaker 6 (33:59):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
At a must laugh situation.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Well, when you're in a room of the comedian, a
professional comedian, it's rare when they laugh at you. Usually
they're the ones, Hey, I get the jokes here. They
all laugh at each other. Comedians always laugh at what
another comedian says.
Speaker 9 (34:14):
But if you're not a comic, they don't laugh.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
I will say, Adam Sandler and Will Ferrell do laugh
if you tell a good joke or you say something
funny there. And I don't think it's courtesy laughs. I
don't think so. I mean, maybe that's why they're good actors,
that Sandler and Will Ferrell laugh at my jokes and
I think that it's actually funny. Maybe it's not. Maybe
(34:38):
maybe that it is a courtesy. All right, let me
take a break. I got chicken wings to eat out there.
I can see them right now. All right, We'll take
a break. Come on now back after this.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show week days at nine am Eastern, six AM

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Last call for phone calls, what we learned, what's in
store tomorrow. I am getting old. I'm lame, I admit it.
Yesterday was going to go see Hooty and the Blowfish.
They were in Hartford, Connecticut, and Marvin said he wanted
to go see Hoody and I said, all right. And
then I find out that they weren't going to go
on stage until ten o'clock last night, and I said,
(35:27):
it's a school night, and their manager, Mike Kelly goes,
it's the only show that they're going to do where
they go on at ten o'clock at night. They're off
at midnight. By the time we're backstage and having fun,
frolicking and then get on the road and get back home,
it was going to be probably one thirty. And I said,
I can't do that to this audience. And Marvin said
(35:49):
that he could, and I said, no, you shouldn't do that.
And you know what, we decided together that we weren't
going to go see Hooty and the Blowfish last night.
Speaker 6 (35:59):
How do you blow off the blowfish?
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Is that that's how we're gonna end.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
The way a few minutes left?
Speaker 6 (36:07):
Yeah, yes, Martin, it ended like it started with Rizzie too.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Yeh buzzkill.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Yeah, So we blew off the Blowfish last night, and uh,
I just couldn't do it. Ten o'clock start. That's late
on a school night. Late if it was Friday night.
I mean we'll roll till the morning.
Speaker 6 (36:29):
Oh, come on to the break of dawn.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
Yeah, all right, this day sports history? What we learn?
Speaker 2 (36:36):
What's in store for Monday? By the way, if you
haven't seen my my new favorite player, Bobby Witt Junior
the third, he did it again. Let's see in his
last twenty four games. He's batting for eighty nine for
Kansas City. The odds, according to DraftKings, second best odds
to win the MVP, behind Aaron Judge's overwhelming favorite to
(36:58):
win the MVP. I think if you're great for Kansas City,
that should trump being great for the Yankees, right, Bobby
Witt Junior has been unbelievable. Gunner Henderson for the Oriols,
he has been unbelievable, But Aaron Judge is the overwhelming
favorite to.
Speaker 9 (37:15):
Win bigger stage.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
It's harder, no, playing for a team in a mid
Midwest that nobody really cares about nationally.
Speaker 9 (37:25):
Why is that so hard?
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Because you got to get up for a game, Aaron Judge,
every game you're ready to go. It's important. Bobby Witt Junior,
the third has to show up and go.
Speaker 9 (37:36):
Hmm, that's funny. I always thought that it was harder.
Like Dak Prescott. The reason his job is so hard
is because it's the Cowboys quarterback. It's a bigger stage.
It's like a big deal.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Is hard?
Speaker 9 (37:46):
Is it harder to be like the quarterback in Jacksonville?
M You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Well, the Cowboys job quarterback is different than any other
position in any other sport. There's so much tension attached
to then nobody comes close to that. I mean, Mahomes
doesn't face anywhere near the scrutiny that Dak does or
Aaron Rodgers that Dak does. But yeah, I get that,
(38:13):
but I would think it'd be tougher to get up
for a game if you're not on a team that
has any expectations as opposed to every game when you
show up there's there's excitement built in. So maybe maybe
I approach it differently. It's like every day is the
super Bowl on this show. Let me see a couple
of phone calls. How about this day sports history, Paulie,
(38:38):
I want to make sure you have ample time.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
Oh, thank you? Okay.
Speaker 10 (38:41):
Nineteen twenty one, eight White Sox baseball players were acquitted,
acquitted of throwing the nineteen nineteen World.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
And then they get banned the next day.
Speaker 10 (38:48):
Correct. Kennasaw mountain Land is great name, by the way
for a commissioner.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
Not many people aren't named Kennesaw anymore.
Speaker 10 (38:55):
Yeah, and Mountain not a popular middle name. It's not
his nickname. It wasn't like like eighty yeah outain, that's
his actual name. He banned them because of their knowledge
and failure to report it. And let's see Michael Phelps
won gold medal number sixteen once more after that. Okay,
and nineteen thirty eight, bright yellow baseballs were used in
(39:15):
Major League Baseball. They hoped they'd be easier to see
for the players and the fans that quickly went away.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
Hmm, that's it.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Let me seem remember tay of Phillo Stevenson nineteen eighty
Cuban heavyweight. They became the first fighter to win three
Olympic gold medals in the same division. He was a
big deal back then.
Speaker 9 (39:39):
Kennessaw a mountain in a real place, by the way, Yes,
I've been there. Yeah, yeah, a real place you can
go to.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
Yeah, Georgia who was named after whom M fair fair quest?
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Okay that I didn't follow up and asked that question.
Let's see, let's go around the room. What we learned
on the program? Man, those wings are good? D I
got I got a crack of beer here. I mean
in a couple of minutes.
Speaker 9 (40:04):
It's Friday.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
Yeah, I know it is right, Todd, what'd you learn today?
Speaker 5 (40:08):
The team USA three and three Olympic basketball rosters leave
something to be desired.
Speaker 6 (40:11):
We can forgive, but will never forget.
Speaker 9 (40:13):
See O'Connor all finebomb is in the content business.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
You see is smart?
Speaker 6 (40:17):
Then there's really six hundred and thirteen commandments.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Paul, you could climb Kennesaw Mountain.
