shirt with the smallest Chicago Bear low like you're embarrassed

(00:25):
to be a Chicago Bear fan.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
It's the size of a stamp, but it's a.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
I can't even make it out and I'm probably twenty
feet away from you, Bear Rare. It's like it's like

Speaker 4 (01:01):
The result of the hour two pole question, which wild
card team down OH one is most done? Braves fifty
per Brewers twenty one percent, Astros fifteen percent, and Oriels
thirteen percent.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Have you been eating something?

Speaker 5 (01:14):
I have a little bit of a nut in my
tooth from a granola bar.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
That I was no The answers, Yes, it was a
couple of minutes ago.

Speaker 5 (01:20):
But I thought I got it cleared out of my tooth.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Okay, do you want to take time to get it
out of your tooth?

Speaker 5 (01:26):
I think I'm good.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Maybe you could have taken turn off your microphone while
you did that.

Speaker 5 (01:30):
I was trying to prove to you that I'm clearing
the no.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
No, I could take your words so I can see
you right here.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
Yeah, I thought I was safe eating it like two
minutes before we came on here. But the little something
nu giddy, I guess got stuck.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
In the new gy nu gidy. Yes, I'd like to
give you some new gies. Yes, Paul, very quick.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Etiquete question before you move on with the show, how
well you do you have to know someone as an
adult to tell them to stop eating with their mouth open.
Let's say you're out at like a couple's dinner.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Oh, I say it to Todd all the time.

Speaker 5 (02:02):
Well, we have a relationship over here that can take if.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
I let's say Peter King was eating with us after
the show, and he was eating with his mouth open.
Would I tell Peter King No, No, we know Peter
very well. Yeah, but I still wouldn't say Peter, shut
your mouth while you eat. I mean I would, or hey, Pete,
you're speaking with your mouth open, or you're chewing with

(02:28):
Now I do say this to Todd.

Speaker 5 (02:30):
Oh here we go.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
We were at a really nice restaurant and Fritzy is
flying through this lobster bisk, just flying through it.

Speaker 5 (02:40):
It was so wonderful it was.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
And I said, how how's the lobster soup? Todd goes, Oh,
it's great, And I said it sounds great. And it
didn't register with me that you just dissed me.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
In the moment, I was so caught up in the
crackers in the lobster bisk. But then I realized, wait
a second, he just took a shot.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
You know, when your puppy is drinking water from the toilet,
you know, and you can hear it is that bad?
Yes it is, Yes, it is. It is bad. It
is bad, but it hasn't stopped you, and not you continue.

Speaker 6 (03:08):
To do it.

Speaker 5 (03:08):
I'm my own man, I still do my thing.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, And I ordered some pizza for today. Ordered some
Peppi's pizza. No, he's great, Yeah, And I ordered it
for Peter. He brought some friends and we're gonna have
a little pizza party, just Peter and his friends and me.
Oh but I wanted to let you know if you

(03:32):
smell the pizza and you go, oh that that smells
like Peppi's Pizza, one of the great pizza places in America,
a top ten pizza joint.

Speaker 5 (03:40):
Alrighty, I was gonna give that to you.

Speaker 4 (03:44):
Okay, Which top MLB playoff seed? The ones that have
the buys do you have the least faith in? That
would be an alphabetical order. The Dodgers, the Guardians, the Phillies,
the Yankees. Who do you have the least faith in?

Speaker 7 (03:56):
Dan?

Speaker 2 (03:57):
I would say the Guardians just because of the name.
I'm sorry, they could win the World Series. I still
have a problem with Guardians. I do.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
It sounds like an XFL team?

Speaker 2 (04:13):
No, it sounds like like a street group that protects you. Yeah,
oh yeah, like the Angels. Yes, yes, that's that's what
it feels like. What was his name, Curtis?

Speaker 3 (04:27):
If you get caught in a questionable neighborhood, the guardians
will be there.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yes, I just call the guys with the red berets
on and they're going to come out and protect me
when I'm in Bronxville. No need to worry here. I'm good.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
You think they wore the berets because when the criminals
saw them coming, like, I'm never getting my ass kicked
by a guy in a beret.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Maybe, well maybe you you would think that they are harmless, right, Yeah,
they're wearing berets. Not even a raspberry beret, but close
to it. It's like a red beret. Stat of the
Day brought to you by Panadi America, the official trading
cards of the Dan Patrick Show. We've touched on a
variety of things. The Tigers, my Tigers over the Astros,

(05:06):
Royals over the Oriols, and I don't want to hear
you complain about Hey, I didn't know it's a best
of three. It is a best of three. So if
you're an Astros fan, you can't be like, oh, best
of three, that's not fair. The Mets over the Brewers,
Padres over the Braves, no Chris Sale in that postseason matchup.
DeVante Adams prefers to trade prefers, not demanding prefers, and

(05:32):
we have talked about the possible landing spots. It really
feels like if you're the Jets, like, let's go right now,
getting can he get in uniform to take him overseas
to London? And you're coming off a home loss where
you don't score a touchdown. You know the team that
could really use him. Now there's other teams that could
use him. The Pittsburgh Steelers, you got a quarterbacking situation.

(05:57):
You really don't have any offensive webs that have stood
out so far. But I mean, he got Pickens. But
whether it be nice if you had a true go
to guy, Pittsburgh could really use him. Baltimore that'd be
a you know, a nice luxury there, the Niners, great
luxury there, Detroit a great luxury item. We'll talk to

(06:22):
Peter King about that coming up. So we have our
final hour poll questions, some phone calls here as well.
Phil and Iowa. Hi Phil, what's on your mind today?

Speaker 8 (06:33):
Five? Two quick things? One shout out to Penny and
her dog biscuits. My dog off is a huge band.
Second thing, the Milwaukee Brewers logo. You guys are talking
about logos earlier. If you look at it, PAULI bring
it up. There's an M and a bit inside the glove. Yea.

(06:57):
I've been watching base of for like thirty years. To
take a like last year, Yeah, you got how to
go with I don't.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Was Phill in the shower.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
For those who couldn't hear it, he was saying, the
Milwaukee Brewers hat. It looks like a baseball with a
ball in it. I mean when you first see it,
but then if you really take a look, it's m
B clearly okay, but it's an illusion.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
It doesn't mean I like it anymore. It's okay. I'm sorry.

Speaker 5 (07:25):
Yes to the call is brought to you by Irish Spring,
which is nice.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
From the shower, Thank you to Alex in Utah. Hi Alex,
what's on your mind today?

Speaker 9 (07:36):
Hey?

Speaker 10 (07:36):
How's it going?

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Dan?

Speaker 10 (07:37):
I called it a couple of weeks ago, suggesting to
get James and Virginia on the Zoom call, and I
got to say that that did not disappoint that dude.
His I mean, he his attitude is so infectious, Like
the only thing I can think of is just like
that guy attacks the day with an enthusiasm, enthusiasm unknown
to mankind.

Speaker 11 (07:57):
So like yeah, and then so yeah, goodest to him.

Speaker 10 (08:00):
And then just real quick, I, you know, just looking
at the stats from Sunday and Monday, I'm just scratching
my head because I'm seeing Baker's stats. I'm seeing Sam Darnold,
Joe Flacco and looking how much they're getting paid, and
then too and Dak and Aaron Rodgers and like all
these fifty million plus quarterbacks, and I'm like, I just

(08:25):
what what do I what do I not know that
owners know that it makes sense for them to be
just paying the outrageous amounts to quarterbacks, like it's.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
The going rate, though, Alex, that's just next guy up.
I mean rock Perty is going to get sixty million
dollars or they move on. There, you know, the market.
They've failed to create an in between, although Baker Mayfield
signed an in between deal, which I thought was beneficial
to both there. But for the most part, it's either

(08:56):
you love your quarterback or you're moving on. And if
you love him, you gotta pay him. And look at
all these guys who got extended in the off season.
Look at how their teams have started. Not good?

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah, PAULI yeah, if you look at the rookie contracts
for quarterbacks, but that third or fourth year you make
a decision the fifth year option or not. But either
way it's either full boat or not. The only way
you get that mid level contract is that a guy
kind of bounces around, like a Ryan Tannehill or a
Baker Mayfield. Here they're on stop three. Like Mitch Trubisky
right now. He had a contract offer from the Bears

(09:32):
a few years ago. Yep, but it was mid level,
and I bet his agent, you know, could, would want
to go back and get that.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Well, we said at the time, sign it, sign it,
know your place. But your agent's going to say, no, No,
you're fifty million. No you're not, No, you're not. It's
Big ten Saturday Night. It's Michigan and Washington. That'll be
Saturday on NBC in Peacock, here comes Saturday Night, presented
by Discover, Dave and San Antonio. Hi, Dave, what's on

(09:59):
your mind today? Hey guys?

Speaker 9 (10:02):
How you guys doing so?

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Dan?

Speaker 9 (10:04):
I know you said that you're going to become a thesbian.
Now I have a movie idea for you, and I
wanted to pitch it and see if you'd want to
be a part of it.

Speaker 11 (10:12):
Okay, awesome.

Speaker 9 (10:14):
So the idea is the world is in chaos, COVID
has hit, and sports and entertainment has gone away, and
we've shifted now to education, and now we're trying to
draft the best kids out of multiple different states to

(10:34):
be over that state, to be that the head teacher.
Teachers are getting paid millions of dollars, and and there's
a draft for these teachers, and now the whole world
has shifted.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
What do you think, I'm going to politely decline, I
don't think it's in my wheelhouse. I'm kind of limited.
My range is limited with my acting abilities. But I
see that we're going to have teachers in the place
instead of athletes there getting the million dollars, which that's great.

(11:09):
But I don't do apocalyptic type movies. I don't even
watch those. What's the Brad Pitt World war Z? Oh
my daughters watch it. It feels like once every couple
of weeks they love that movie, and then they love
talking about zombies in the apocalypse. I'm like that, No,

(11:33):
I don't need to watch that. So I don't want
to be part of a futuristic type thing. I don't
see like Dune. I didn't watch any of those movies.
Avatar didn't watch anything. I don't I have no interest
in any of the Star Trek, Star Wars, no interest.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
Yes, in all of those world is ending movies. There's
a one with Tom Cruise, there's one with Brad Pitt.
They're always running as if the world's not going to
end eight miles up the street, you know, like we're
in a hawk in New Jersey. We got to get
out of here. Let's go upstate, as if the world's
not going to end in Albany.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
Tom Cruise runs in every movie. Yes. Is there a
movie that Tom Cruise does not run in? Yes, Born
on the fourth of July. Oh too soon.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
Actually he is running when he's a soldier. Oh okay,
second half not so much.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah, all the right moves, of course, he's running. Yeah,
he hit the ground, running the firm, a lot of running.
He's running.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
Does he run in Jeram Maguire, Yes, he's running down
He's running down the street after he prints the the
mission statement. Early in the movie, he's at Kinko's and
he's running back down.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
The street risky business. Yes, he run.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
He's running to get his car.

Speaker 5 (12:50):
He has to run the before it falls in the
water YEP.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
Okay, Collateral, he runs, Okay, good movie, by the way,
No it's not lateral, Jimmy Fox, Colateral is so good.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
No, Collateral so good, really good. No, it's not. What
else what other Tom Cruise.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
Stay on this for he runs in every mission.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Tom Cruising Collateral has white hair. It's awesome. It's silly.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
I almost didn't recognize you, Like, hey, there's some other guy. Wow,
that guy looks like Tom Cruise, Tom Crews movies. They
actually put a pedometer on some guy who looked at
the movies. He runs the most in the mission Impossible Movies,
Minority Report, the Firm, Jack Reacher a lot of running.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
I don't like him and Jack Reacher because the show
Jack Reacher with that other guy that who looks like
he's he looks like a badass. I mean he's uh
like Steve Enttman who played at Washington drafted by the
Cold tex That's who he looks like. That guy is awesome.
That Tom Cruise is Jack Reacher. No, not buying it. Yes,

(13:57):
Mark is Tom Cruise running in a few Good Men.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
No, he's hitting baseballs or softballs. But I don't think
he ever runs in that movie checking.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
He might have run to to me more obviously. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Oh and Days of Thunder he chases Robert Duvall when
he's mad at him. It's a brief runting scene.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
But yeah, I don't I don't know if he runs
in a few good Men. Mm hmm.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
If I'll tell you, if the Me and More were there.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
I would run to I would run to me. I
would in the eighties and nineties, Yeah, I'd sprint right, Yeah,
I would be like Derrick Henry. I'd be foarm shivers
and whatever it takes more, Yeah, to me more. Back
in the eighties, yeah, first ballot, whatever, run Yeah, first ballot.

(14:50):
She's in a new movie with is it Margaret Quality?
And her mom was in Saint Elmo's Fire. She was
the beautiful woman that she was in a cabin Andy McDowell. Yeah,
Andy McDowell. So her daughter is in the movie with

(15:13):
Demi Moore. Substance, yes, yes, yes, yes, And there is
some substance. Yeah. All it looks like a scary movie.
And there's nudity in there too. Okay, if you like substance,
I mean, I don't know what your substance is, but yes,
don I'm.

Speaker 4 (15:29):
Reading things that say most graphic film ever, extreme body
horror film.

Speaker 5 (15:36):
Absolutely?

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yeah? Thank you? All right, I got a sneak preview.

Speaker 5 (15:39):
I don't know if you have connections.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
There's a trailer that you can watch. All right, how
about we take a break. Peter King is here and
we'll get his thoughts. What he's doing now. I don't
know if he's semi retired, but Peter King will join
us coming up next year on the Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
He's Peter King, NFL analyst for Sirius XM, the Let's
Go Podcast with Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, Max Crosby and
Jim Gray, and covered the NFL for more than four decades. Pete,
good to see you. As soon as I see Pete,
he says, hey, forty five years today, and I go
forty five, and he goes, Chris Berman forty.

Speaker 7 (16:30):
Furman forty fifth year, forty five year anniversary. I just
saw it on social media on the way up here.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
Today. Dang. Yeah, forty five years. Forty five years at
the Mothership, so.

Speaker 7 (16:41):
That must mean nineteen seventy nine.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
He was there, yeah, when he started seventy Yeah, him
and Bob Lee and tom Mes. Yeah, and I think
they had a trailer there was no building. I mean
the fact, you know, everybody wanted to work at ESPN
when it became cool, but those who were the pioneers
who started a place when it wasn't cool. Nobody knew
if it would last. They thought it might be a

(17:05):
local Connecticut sports channel.

Speaker 8 (17:08):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
But for Bob and Chris and the late Tomys to
take a chance with something like that, And that's why
I've said, all along, build a statue there of those three,
name a building after that. I mean, remember them because
people are going to forget them, and I don't want
them to because without them, I'm not here. I don't

(17:31):
have this job. And I forever indebted that they were
doing it when they didn't even know who was watching.
So happy anniversary to Chris Burn. All right, what do
you miss most? How are you when you watch a
football game watching it differently?

Speaker 7 (17:47):
I mean I watch it with I watched the Sunday
night game the first half of a glass of wine
in my hand and having just finished pizza. No, I
watch it for total entertainment, now for yus for fun.
And I used to watch it like if I had

(18:08):
an idea that I was going to write a column
about Joe Burrow, I would have the Bengals game on
and I would watch every moment of Joe Burrow. And
now I just watch the game. I do watch it
a little bit differently. I just watch it for fun.
I put on red Zone. Scott Hansen is my guru,

(18:30):
and for six or seven hours, that's what I do.
The difference in my life now, Dan, is that, except
for the first week where I watched all of the
Sunday night game, I am in bed no later than halftime.
And one week I was in bed about quarter nine

(18:50):
on Sunday night because I just that was the one
thing about my life that I really didn't like. When
you're a kid, you can stay up until four o'clock
in the morning one day and then so it's a
rough next day, but then you're fine the day after.
But you do that when you're sixty six sixty seven
years old, and your life sucks until Wednesday, and so

(19:14):
I just didn't want to do that anymore.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
But how much did your brother's health. Yeah, like you
start to have mortality, you know, when somebody around you
passes way.

Speaker 7 (19:24):
I mean all my father and my two brothers were
all dead before the age of sixty five. And you
know I'm sixty seven now, and I'm not going to
be dead anytime. Well, shoot, that's a dumb thing.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
So but I don't.

Speaker 7 (19:40):
I'm trying to take care of myself and all that stuff.
But my whole point is it's harder to do that
when you're always tired and when you're beat up, even
if you're working out, and I was working out three
four days a week, but after a while, it just
really starts to get to You.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Give me the team, the story that you would love
to do a deep dime this year right now.

Speaker 7 (20:01):
I would really love to do Dan Quinn the Commandos Commanders.
I really wish they'd just be Washington football team. Yeah,
I love it was the greatest thing football team. That
would really be fun. I've never met Jayden Daniels, I
don't know much about him, but wow, is he impressive.

(20:24):
But the other team I would love to be around
a lot is Kansas City, because look, if Kansas City
somehow finds a way this year, they're the Beatles. You
know they're gonna be Mahomes as John Lennon, Andy Reid
is a portly Paul McCartney, and you know they are

(20:44):
going to be the biggest thing in sports because obviously
in the Super Bowl era and not since Green Bay
sixty years ago, or there's somebody win three titles in
a row, and so that to me, I'm totally fascinated.
And you know, Dan, I think we are going to
look back on this era of football and we're going

(21:06):
to say, Okay, the first twenty years of this century
were owned by Brady. The next twenty years we're going
to be owned by Mahomes. And one of the biggest
reasons is not just talent and all that stuff, but
he has the will. And I tell this story last
year in Frankfurt, when I was covering the game for NBC.

(21:28):
They played Miami and they're playing crappy on offense. And
after the game, I interviewed Mahomes on the field for
NBC and I said, man, your offense, you won, but
your offense is in trouble. And he goes, oh, we're
going to straighten it out.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Don't worry.

Speaker 7 (21:44):
We're going to be okay. We're going to And afterwards
I went into the locker room and I kind of
gave him a little fistbums said thank you. You didn't
have to do that, and I appreciate you doing it.
He said, hey, no problem, he says, Peter, I want
to tell you we're going to get this offense straightened out.
I guarantee it. I promise you, And he just he
has the will that a lot of people don't have,

(22:07):
but that Tom Brady did have. Speaking of Brady, you're
the newest member of the Let's Go Podcast. You got
Brady Belichick, Max Crosby, Jim Gray. How do you get
into word edgewise? Well, you know, it's all in different segments.
So like I do one segment with Jim Gray on

(22:27):
kind of happenings of the league, and you know, the
other day we talked a lot about Derrick Henry and
then I am part Me and Jim will interview Max
Crosby every week and then Belichick does his own thing
with Jim, and Brady's not on every week.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
He's on.

Speaker 7 (22:51):
I don't know how often he'll be on, but he's
not on every week because he's got his other life now.
But I mean, it's kind of fun just to have
fourteen minutes. You know, at NBC you've got you've got
a minute forty and now you've got fourteen minutes. That's
kind of fun and just to be able to talk.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
You know, what do you make of Belichick the media star?

Speaker 7 (23:14):
Well, I always knew he'd be good at this for
a very simple reason. A long time ago in the eighties,
I covered the Giants and Belichick was defensive coordinator and
he wasn't Johnny Carson, but he was incredibly insightful and enlightening.
And look, he wanted a head coaching jobs, so he

(23:34):
was going to be friendly and not friendly, but you know,
he was going to cooperate with the writers. And in
those days, the writers were everything. And so Belichick was great.
And he's got it in him to be clever, to
be a little bit funny, and to be really really smart,
obviously about football. So I had no doubt he'd be good.

(23:59):
If Bill Wan wants to be good at something, he's
gonna be good at something. Now we just have to wait.
I mean, there's no doubt in my mind or anybody's,
I would assume that somebody's gonna give him a shot
next year.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
But Dan, I would just say.

Speaker 7 (24:12):
This about next year with Bill Belichick, I want to
see how accepting he is to some new stuff in football,
to analytics, to.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Stuff that.

Speaker 7 (24:23):
I think he's always sort of viewed himself as the
smartest guy in the room, even though he wouldn't say that,
but he has viewed himself that way. And I think
there's more information than ever and I think he's got
to start taking advantage of that information.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Is he gonna be a GM too? Is he gonna
have a dual title?

Speaker 7 (24:43):
I don't think he should be, because I'm not saying
nobody in his right mind would allow Bill to pick
all the groceries. But I do think that he's going
to have to have a good deal of saying. But look,
had he gone to Atlanta, Arthur Blank was not going

(25:05):
to newter or fire Terry Fontineau the GM, and so
Bill was going to have to accept that. And I think,
and quite honestly, then he should accept it. He should
look at his weakness over the last six or eight
years that he did the Patriots, and he was a

(25:26):
week evaluator and collector of talent.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
There's no other way to put it. We're talking to
Peter King. He's the newest member of the Let's Go Podcast.
It's available every Monday at six eastern three Pacific on
Serious XM Mad Dog Radio. That's a Channel eighty two.
Why is Jerry Jones in the Hall of Fame before
Robert Kraft?

Speaker 7 (25:48):
Well, first of all, Robert Kraft I firmly believe will
get in the Hall of Fame. I think Jerry Jones
got in the Hall of Fame for two reasons. Number one,
three super Bowls. Number two, the business model. Jerry Jones
gets in as a quote contributor end quote. And I

(26:13):
don't know anybody who you know if you say a
guy has won three Super Bowls. Now, whatever year he
got in, it was about ten years ago, eight, ten
years ago, whatever it was. But at the time, he
had three Super Bowls and he changed the way the
NFL did a lot of its business, and he made
the league a lot of money, and he made the

(26:34):
league different.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
So that's why.

Speaker 7 (26:37):
Now, if you want to argue that Robert Kraft, I mean,
first of all, I think and I'd have to look
up the year that Jerry got in. Robert Craft probably
had either three or four by the time Jerry got in.
And look, I've said this about Craft many times. And
now I'm not a voter on the committee anymore. I

(26:59):
resigned couple of months ago, but I am going to
be a consultant to the committee. And I have said
this for a long time that the reason that Robert
Kraft will get in. And I'm not one of those
that said, well, of course he should be in. I mean,
he probably should be in by now, but he's going
to get in. And the biggest reason is because in

(27:21):
the year two thousand, right as the millennium began, Robert
Kraft did something that nobody wanted him to do. He
hired Bill Belichick. Everybody thought, oh my god, this anti
social loser from Cleveland. You know, got blown out in Cleveland.
You know, why would you give him another team?

Speaker 2 (27:42):
You know, what are you doing?

Speaker 7 (27:44):
And he went against everybody. And of all the things
he's done in the NFL, and he's done a lot
business wise, collective bargaining wise, and all that stuff, the
fact that he went against the grain and hired Belichick
because just remember Bill Belichick, Scott Pioli. They're the guys
who picked the players in New England very early on.

(28:09):
There's no reason to think that Dom Capers and whoever
would be on the personnel side. There's no reason to
think they would have picked Tom Brady with the one
hundred and ninety ninth pick in that year in their
first draft. I mean, it's almost if it's almost chancy anyway,

(28:30):
But the fact is he brings in somebody who's got
the presence of mind somehow someway to pick Tom Brady
and they live happily ever after for two decades and
win six Super Bowls.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Is Russell Wilson playing his way out of the Super
Bowl or out of the Hall of Fame?

Speaker 5 (28:49):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (28:50):
There's gonna be so many quarterbacks from this era who
have a good argument for the Hall of Fame, so many,
and I don't know. I'm always hesitant the one guy, though, Dan,
and I'm hesitant on Russell Wilson. I would like to
see him do a little bit more somewhere outside of

(29:10):
the cocoon of Seattle, and he hasn't yet. But let's
see the one guy who this year in Detroit on
that Sunday night, and then against San Francisco, I said
to myself, Matthew Stafford. I'm not saying it's an absolute,
no doubt. Matthew Stafford absolutely has my vote. I think

(29:32):
he's this generation's Dan Fouts. And plus he's got a
super Bowl. Dan Fouts didn't have one. I just think
that Matthew Stafford and what he's done with a team
that many times has been down and out because of injuries,
he just keeps them in every single game.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
And I just I think Matthew Stafford special. And what
I found interesting is these younger quarterbacks Caleb Boy, yeah, CJ.
Stround and they were gushing over Matthew Stafford, Yeah, gushing yeah.
And I'm like, I mean they grew up on him,
and they're watching now. Granted he wasn't on the big
stage really other than with the Rams, but they're seeing

(30:16):
him and seeing what it's like to be a quarterback
to be able to do what he's doing. And I
found that amazing because if you're a young quarterback, you're
probably saying, maybe it's Tom Brady, maybe it's Patrick Mahomes, somebody.
They're watching Matthew Stafford when he was in Detroit. Yeah,
And gushing over him.

Speaker 7 (30:35):
Yeah, and I mean, look, everybody's gonna say if he say, oh,
Matthew Stafford, the negative people for the Hall of Fame.
To me, Matthew Stafford lifted that franchise for so many
years into at least mediocrity when they probably didn't even
deserve that. And I would I'd say one of the

(30:55):
saddest things I've seen is when his own wife and
their kids go to the first game of the season
because they're going to get booed. I mean, you know,
sports fandom has really gone too far when something like
that happens bothers me.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Well, Dan Campbell, you lose the playoff game and somebody
leaks his address and you got it. I mean, they
should be planting flowers, yes, at Dan Campbell's house.

Speaker 7 (31:22):
Yeah, he's He's fabulous. So that whole franchise. You know,
last year in training camp, I remember I'd been to
the Lions over the years in training camp and there's
sixteen people there, you know, as a crowd. And last
year it was raining steadily at seven thirty in the
morning for an eight to thirty practice, and there was

(31:42):
a line of people waiting to get in a long
line I mean they've changed football in Detroit. Bill Parcells
always said the one team that he thought would have
been great to coach, not that he looked back and
wanted to change his life, would be the Detroit Lions.
He just had a fascination because when Parcels was a kid,
the Lions meant something.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Yeah, and Tony Dungee said, yeah, he came close to
coaching the Lions because his dad was a Lion science fan.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
Before I let you go, your remembrances of Pete Rose
when you were in Cincinnati, do you have a favorite.

Speaker 7 (32:18):
I'm twenty three years old. I just get hired by
the Cincinnati Inquirer. The Philadelphia Phillies come to town, and
my sports editor says, go, basically, do the state of
Pete Rose? What's going on with him now? With the
Phillies all that? And I went into I just walked
into the clubhouse before a game four point thirty in

(32:38):
the afternoon in Cincinnati, and I introduced myself and he goes, oh,
Peter King, Hey you're new at the Inquirer. That's cool,
love the inquired great paper. Where are you from Enfield, Connecticut?

Speaker 8 (32:52):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (32:53):
How jammed up out of here? Well, I went to
Ohio University.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Oh cool.

Speaker 7 (32:56):
He interviewed me for two minutes before I started talking
to him and Dan. Over the years, I would see
him occasion. I went to lunch with him one day
in New York when he was still managing the Reds,
just for fun because.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
I like the guy.

Speaker 7 (33:10):
And then the last time I saw him was maybe
five six seven years ago. I was out at Fox
on the Fox lot in LA and I saw him
and he goes, Peter, how you doing? What are you
doing here? You know? And he had the memory of
an elephant. He really did. And he could talk to

(33:30):
anybody pretty much about anything as long as it had
to do with sports. Yep.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
And if you didn't get a chance to listen to
Johnny Bench yesterday.

Speaker 7 (33:41):
Yeah I gotta hear that. I gotta go back and listen.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Yeah, yeah, it was raw. Are you sticking around for
the pizza party after the show? I am, yeah, okay, Yeah,
thank you, Dan, It's great to be with you. That's
Peter King. Let's Go podcast, Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, Max Crosby,
and Jim Gray Monday at six eastern on Mad Dog
Radio that's Channel eighty two. Well come back, last call
for phone calls, What we learn, What's in store tomorrow,

(34:04):
This day in sports History.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
Right after this, be sure to catch the live edition
of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern
six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAP.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
The Last Call for phone Calls, What we learn? Once
in store tomorrow, This day in sports History. So you
got Tiger's Astros, Royals, Orioles, Mets, Brewers, Braves, Pondres coming
up today and tonight. Yes, Paul, did you see that.

Speaker 3 (34:32):
The Tigers Astros two thirty pm Eastern is on ABC ABC,
not a cable channel.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
Well, they were on ABC ABC yesterday.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
That kind of snuck up on me.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
I didn't know they were on ABC until Fritzy goes
ABC and I'm like, oh, maybe there's a disaster happening.
It's local news and I all of a sudden I
tune over and it's one out in the ninth with
runners in scoring position.

Speaker 5 (34:55):
That was odd.

Speaker 4 (34:56):
I was looking for it on MLB Network at ESPNESPN too,
and I'm like, how to look it up to see
where it was?

Speaker 2 (35:01):
I got something here, Dak Prescott's winning percentage in prime time.
So they're gonna have primetime game against the Steelers. His
primetime winning percentage is just over seventy percent. He's one
of four quarterbacks with a winning percentage of seventy percent

(35:21):
or higher in primetime starts since nineteen seventy so since
the merger, a minimum of twenty five starts in primetime,
Dak Prescott is one of four quarterbacks who've won seven
out of every ten primetime games. Paulie, I'll start with you.

(35:41):
Brett Farv wrong. I sounded like I knew it. Marvin Ben, Roethlisberger, No,
Todd Joe Montagne, yes, Paulie Mann, Jim Kelly, no, Dan Marino, No,

(36:05):
Paulie Wait decade since nineteen seventy No, oh, Roger Staubach, No,
good night. I am shocked that you don't know who.
Steve Young and Peyton Manning are heard of him. I
would have thought you would have said Tom Brady just

(36:27):
for the number of games Patrick Mahomes can join this
group with a win on Monday Night, that he's right
now just under seventy percent winning percentage in primetime. I
thought that was kind of interesting, all right, this day
in sports history. Peter King just mentioned that forty five years.

(36:48):
Chris Berman has been at ESPN starting today. Congratulations there, Chris.
All right, what else do you have this day in
sports history?

Speaker 3 (36:56):
Nineteen o eight, a baseball player named Eddie Joss of
the even Indians pitched the fourth perfect game in Major
League history.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
This is a good one.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
The Cincinnati Reds and the Pittsburgh Pirates in nineteen twenty
played the only triple header in baseball history. Reds won
two of three. They had to get it in before
the season was over. I guess, okay, and that's about it.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
Let's see. How about the first pinch hit home run
in World Series history happened on this date in nineteen
forty seven. Rat fire No Marvin, Jackie Robinson, Yogi Barra,
That's what I said, Yogi Berra. It was against the Dodgers.
He hit it off Ralph Branca. Yeah. Nah. Back then

(37:40):
and time it's farm and John Bucky Dent, Ah, Bucky
f and Dent on this day, nineteen seventy eight home run.

Speaker 3 (37:49):
You know, we need more of guys with nicknames like
Bucky and Yogi.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
Yeah. Uh, let's see anything else. And after sixty seven seasons,
Vin Scully calls his final Dodgers game. Derek in Denver,
Hey Derek, what's on your mind today? Hey Derek DP,

Speaker 6 (38:10):

scene and a few good men where Tom took a
quick cruise.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Okay, he ran.

blew the case and he was going to put just
upon the stand.

Longtime?

Speaker 6 (39:16):
First time?

Speaker 12 (39:17):
Five eleven one ninety I've been listening for so many years,
I've never called, and I just figured out why I'd
never called before. It's because I'm in San Diego. We
lost our basketball team we've never had. We lost our
football team, we never had a good basketball team. It's
just so depressing down here. I thought, pretty pretty what
should I do today? Should I go for a walk

(39:39):
on the beach in latoyat eight degrees? You know, as
a San Diego resident, I could go play Tory Pines
out for seventy five bucks today, or maybe just take
a hike in the nearby mountains. I thought I'd run
it by you because life is just so bad. Maybe
I should book a therapy appointment.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
Are Elliott a little ye?

Speaker 4 (40:00):
I still live in La visited San Diego many times,
but they only have a baseball team in the Aztecs.

deep dive on Jaden Daniels and the Commanders and the
Chiefs also trying to pull up that three peet.
