the program is going to be what seat new counter?
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Let's see we got up there right now? Team that
will drop off this season and miss the playoffs, Vikings
and Commanders sort of running away with that one. Everybody
thinks the Chiefs will be in the playoffs. Okay, hot take,
except for you, except for me out. Someone also commented
on that that apparently I'm on the pink stuff, the
(00:59):
pink Apparently I'm on the pink stuff, the pink stuff
on the yacht. Yeah yeah, And speaking of pink stuff,
off to more if he start Stefan Diggs and the
Patriots or Bill Belichick in North Carolina. That's at about
sixty eight percent for Bill people still not thrilled with
that situation.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yeah, all you gotta do is win games, that's all.
Stefan Diggs just catch passive score touchdowns. Feels like those
things have a way of going away really quickly.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
Yeah, Paul, but there's no way for Digs to play
his way out of this in June, no.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Or July, yeah or August. It's just do you address
it once and then that's it. We'll check in with
the Patriots coming up.
Speaker 6 (01:45):
Stat of the Day.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
It's always brought to you by Panini America, the official
trading court to the Dan Patrick Show. Thank you for
your watching on Peacock. That's our streaming partner, listening on
our radio affiliates over four hundred cities that carry the program. iHeartRadio,
Fox Sports Radio as well. Also, I mentioned this because
I do think it's important. Lions All Pro center Frank
(02:07):
Ragnow announced his retirement. They did draft a couple of
offensive linemen that maybe you can turn them into a center,
but you lose your center on a team that I mean,
Penny Sewele is a future Hall of Fame lineman, but
you got Montgomery and Jamier Gibbs. You know, you got
(02:30):
a quarterback who's not exactly mobile. I mean, they got
everything that you need to compete, but now you lose
your center and you lose both your coordinators in the offseason.
Phil Perry covers the Patriots. The Patriots insider for NBC
Sports Boston kind enough to join us so digs at practice.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
But didn't talk.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
What kind of update has the media been given on
his availability to address what happened recently.
Speaker 7 (03:01):
Yeah, we haven't been given any update, Dan, and thanks
for having me first of all. But I think what's
probably going to happen is during the mandatory mini camp
portion of the off season calendar here, so that'll be
June ninth through eleventh for the Patriots, that we would
at some point have some availability to him. So we're
gonna apply as much pressure as humanly possible, Dan, and
(03:22):
we're gonna we're gonna make sure we get him in
front of a microphone.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
I think he's probably not all that scared of speaking
to us.
Speaker 7 (03:29):
On his way out to the field yesterday, he made
sure to basically stop and wave at the cameras and say,
you know, nice to see you. Also, I think he'll
be ready to talk to us whenever the team will
allow it.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
If I gave you the first question, what are you
asking Stefan Diggs?
Speaker 6 (03:46):
Can he tell us what was in the bag? You know?
I think that is that to me is kind of
at the crux of it.
Speaker 7 (03:53):
And I think his answer Dan, while I wouldn't expect
him to be all that forthcoming with us, I think
how he answers that question to Mike Vrabel could make
a serious impact on their relationship moving forward.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Mike is obviously a former player.
Speaker 7 (04:10):
He is not naive to what players might be doing
a moral day weekend when they're away from the team
during the voluntary portion of the NFL calendar.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
But I think if you're going to start off.
Speaker 7 (04:19):
On that kind of foot where he can tell if
you are being dishonest with him, that you've been dishonest
with him, that to me doesn't bode well for that
relationship moving forward. As desperately as the Patriots need him,
they need this guy, They need him to be on
the field, they need him to be their best receiver,
which to me is asking a lot for somebody's coming
off of his injury and is on the other side
of thirty, but that's sort of where they're at in
(04:43):
terms of that receiver room and the talent offensively on
the team overall. But I think the answer to that
question for Diggs too Vrabel and what was he doing
on the boat and what kind of decisions were being
made will be really critical for them.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Is this a Patriots situation now or does this escalate
that this is an NFL situation.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
I think the difficult part of this, if the NFL
was ever going to try to get involved, is how
would you prove anything right? I mean, the video we
have is what it is. You can't really tell what's
in the bag. He's not actually consuming anything that was
in the bag. He's giving it away.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
He is saying.
Speaker 7 (05:25):
It sounds like, don't do it all, go have a
good time and then come back and see me. So
you know, that doesn't sound great if you're the Patriots
or the NFL. But I don't know how you would
enforce anything other than maybe to use the league's broad
powers of being able to punish these guys the way
they used to without much in the way of evidence.
(05:45):
But I think they've kind of gotten away from that
and they've wanted to rely more on. Okay, if something happens,
you know, if law enforcement gets involved and they have
been convicted of something, then we'll step in and we'll
punish from there.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
I think they want to get out of.
Speaker 7 (05:59):
The the legal business, the law enforcement business, quite frankly,
so I think this would if anything, damn.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
My guess is because.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
If you ably have to do something, I think you
have to do something. You're trying to establish a culture here.
You're trying to show that, you know, we're not only
going to make sure we hold the guys that are
on the lower end of the totem poll to a
certain standard, but this guy's going to be one of
our best players. We think we have to make sure
we hold him to that very same standard. So my
guess is there might be some kind of fine or
(06:30):
something else behind closed doors that the rest of the
team knows about to make sure that they have made
a statement in the aftermath of all this.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
How's the building different since Belichick left?
Speaker 7 (06:44):
Well, it was very different last year under Gerrod Mayo,
that's for sure. I think Mayo wanted to make sure,
even though he spent his entire pro career under Belichick,
that he was going to make it very clear to
everybody that business was going to be done differently. What's
interesting with Rabel is that he wants to separate himself
from Bill too, but we're hearing some of the same messages.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
Maybe it's a slightly different wording involved, but.
Speaker 7 (07:07):
Like you know, we're still hearing I think he even
said it, maybe even in this order Dan during his
introductory press conference, that he wants smart, tough, and dependable players.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
We've been hearing smart.
Speaker 7 (07:18):
Tough, dependable from Bill and I'm sure other coaches as well,
But that was one of Bill's you know, relied upon
cliches in that building for years and years and years,
and we're still hearing it from Mike. Mike is a
big fan of saying things like he wants players who
are going to treat the team appropriately and if they don't,
then he has to protect the team. And Bill had
(07:39):
it right on the door as you were leaving the building,
put the team first. Speak for yourself, put the team first.
And so there are going to be some belichickiing kinds
of vibes with Vrabel, whether he wants to acknowledge it
or not, and he I think would bristle at the
notion that there would be any similarities between the two
of them, but there are. They're old school football guys.
They want their team to be run a certain way.
(08:01):
Mike I think will be much more of a player's coach,
and you're already hearing that from some of the players,
But just in terms of their overall philosophies, they're pretty similar.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
As far as reporters, how many are still covering Belichick?
How important is that story in New England now that
he's in North Carolina.
Speaker 8 (08:21):
Oh, it's huge.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
We talk about it almost every day. The Jordan Hudson stuff.
I mean, we can't get enough up here.
Speaker 8 (08:29):
Dan.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
It is the story, I would say, in the red
Even if the Celtics are making a run in the postseason,
the thing that people will stop you on the street
and ask you about is Bill Belichick and Jordan Hudson
and what's going on there? And how is he allowing
this to happen? And how long is he gonna last
at North Carolina. We talk about it almost every night,
(08:50):
because there's almost every day there's something new.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
Thank God for our buddy Pablo Torre.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
I mean, unbelievable the work that he's been doing and
I know there are others who you know, who may
look at that and say, is is that how we
should be spending our time. I heard Bill Sibbon say
something to that effect recently on a podcast.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
But people are interested.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
And so you know, I get it, and we certainly
are interested still up here as well. And I think
people are just fascinated to see what the football looks like.
Of course they're interested in all the Jordan Hudson stuff.
I mean, we had people that were interested in the
the Miss main pageant results a couple of weeks ago, Dan,
so people are one hundred percent on that end of
the storyline. But I think people really want to see
(09:30):
how is Bill going to be able to handle college kids?
How is he going to adapt to the college game.
Is he going to actually be able to win if
he doesn't? What do those press conferences look like? Because
for those of us that have sat in those rooms,
you know, I covered Bill for almost fifteen years and
sat in the front row for a lot of those
press conferences and got a lot of very awkward stare
(09:53):
downs and very awkward pauses, and sometimes worse than that,
which I'm sure everybody that's listening is familiar with as well.
So if you're writing for the Daily Bugle on you know,
on North Carolina's campus there whatever that is, the Daily
tar Heel, you know, how do those interactions go with
with Coach Belichick? You know that to me is a
fascinating part of this too. If it doesn't go all
(10:15):
that great on the football field.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I'll give you five minutes with Belichick or five minutes
with Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
I'm taking digs in that scenario, Dan, because I think
even after covering Bill as long as I've covered, as
long as I've covered him, I'm not sure five minutes
with Bill is going to yield all that much.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
What about me?
Speaker 3 (10:38):
What about his girlfriend? Five minutes with Jordan Hudson or
Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
I'm taking digs, okay, but I'm curious. I would I
would like to hear your reporter's instincts on that, Dan.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
Like if you got if you had digs, what would
be the first thing you would ask him?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
The same thing I would say, what was in the back?
Speaker 9 (10:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I think you have to write, well, yeah, it's because
it's videoed. I mean he saw it, he was being videotaped,
and it's not like he was done in a clandestine,
surreptitiously way. He was there presenting this and there's Cardi
b and two other women there. They're not crushed up sweethearts.
I mean there's something there.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
So you got fundip. You didn't think it was funda.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Well, it was for him and them. I'm guessing it
was fund dip in a different way. But yeah, I
think you got to ask that. And I don't know
how he's going to answer this because at some point
he has to answer it. But you know, does it
go away soon after that? And certainly if you play well,
nobody cares. I wouldn't have signed him to begin with
(11:44):
at that age, coming off an injury. I don't want
him to do to Drake May what maybe he was
doing to Josh Allen, even though he was really good
with Josh Allen. There's a reason why he's bounced around
to a couple of teams here. I want Drake May
to establish his own receipt. And I brought up when
Baker Mayfield was in Cleveland and they brought in OBJ
(12:05):
and he deferred to OBJ to the detriment of Baker
Mayfield and the team.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
It's so interesting because this is why they made such
a hard push for Chris Godwin. They tried to blow
him out of the water, and they did financially. He
just didn't accept it. But they went above and beyond
time and again in their pursuit of Godwin, in part
because not only is he a good player, although he's
coming off an injury as well, but he's considered an
(12:35):
unbelievable teammate and a great locker room guy and the
kind of positive force that you would want to impact
on your young quarterback. They went after DK Metcalf. They
let him know, hey, would you sign with us long
term if we trade it for you? He told them no,
which I think is surprised, and I think that has
been maybe one of the biggest surprises to Vrabel since
he's taken the new job, is their inability to convince
(12:57):
guys to join them in New England. The DK Metcalf one, specifically,
somebody within the organization told me after he ended up
signing with Pittsburgh. Man must be a huge Mason Rudolph Fan.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I guess, well, because it comes down to this. The
reason why players wanted to go there was because Tom
Brady could help you win a super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
That's it. That's it.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Yeah, Yeah, I got to play with Bill Belichick coach.
You know, it's about I'm going to go there all
put up with this the Patriot way, but I get
to play with Tom Brady and I might win a
super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I mean, that's that's power. And you don't.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
They're convinced, Yeah, they don't.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
And they're convinced that, you know, if they don't get
to that level, which you know, whoever gets to that level,
but they're convinced. This regime is convinced that they will
win eventually, and they'll be able to convince more players
than they have, maybe not to the same degree they
would have been able to with Belichick and Brady, but
that that will change eventually. It's just I think really
hard for them. It might be really hard for them
(13:59):
to just.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
Get out of the blocks.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
Because as good as a coach as Mike vrabel is
and I think he's a good coach, and I think
Josh McDaniel is a great offensive coordinator, if you don't
have the talent, it's really really hard to win in
this league. And they might have at a great quarterback,
Drake May I think is Uber talented and we'll see
what he develops into.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
But they need those pieces around him that receiver room.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
If Digs is going to be their best player, I
think that's that is testament to what they have in
that receiver room, which is probably not enough right now.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Great to talk to you, Phil, Thanks for joining us,
and good luck with that first question to Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
I'll let you know how it goes. Dan, appreciate you
having me.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
We'll be listening. We'll be listening.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
That's a Phil Perry, the Patriots Insider, NBC Sports Boston. Yeah,
you got to ask the question. You got to get
it out of the way. I don't know what he's
going to tell you. I don't know if the NFL
gets involved in this. You're the Patriots. I mean, you
need him. You know, there's that sliding scale of all right,
what are you accused of? And how good are you? Well,
(14:57):
we just signed you to that contract. It's not that
big a deal, you now, no big deal that you know.
Those girls were just having fun, okay, and I guess
there might be just a little more to that, but
we'll see, we'll see. Derek Henry will join us coming up.
Also thoughts and prayers to Seaton as I found out
(15:19):
that somebody reached out to him and told him it's
time for Seating to quit smoking. What Yeah, somebody was
worried about Seating yesterday, and yes, look what smoking's done
to you.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
That did.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
I got a message from a fella that said something
along the lines of I'm paraphrasing, but like, hey, man,
I'm just really concerned about you.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
You look awful.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Smoking is really taking a toll on you, and do yourself.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Do yourself a favor, quit.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Smoking so you can enjoy some years with your son,
which is a very nice message. He's right, everyone should
quit smoking. It's a bad habit. And that's so I
replied to him. You know, unfortunately for me, I quit
smoking sixteen years ago, and I.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Think this is just the way I look.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
I don't know that I've ever been having not since
I was.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
In fourth grade. Have I been healthier than this right now?
So the last two years or so, I've been not
as healthy as I've ever been in my life.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Yeah, you stop smoking, stop drinking, And he's saying, man,
look the look off. You know what I would do,
I'd start smoking and drinking.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Get all right back up. I got it.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
That's only two of the numerous things I've.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Quit, man, and I do think about picking them all
back up, I can tell you all right, Well, take
a break.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
Fritzie says he's not sure what he's doing with the
show when it ends, but he said maybe he could
work out a McDonald's or a fast food restaurant. We
just heard from Matthew Hanson. He's the CEO of something
in really important here. Let me see. He has stores
(18:13):
in thirty two states fast food restaurants. We have Taco Bell, Sonic, KFC,
and Arby's. Maybe Todd would like to work at Taco Bell,
work the line there, or maybe.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
KFC choices there.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Yes, but Matthew Hanson the COO, and he reached out
and said, if things don't work out with you, trying
to crawl back to ESPN when this show ends and
maybe you could work at a fast food restaurant.
Speaker 8 (18:42):
Get yelled at, what are you doing?
Speaker 12 (18:44):
I've been waiting twenty minutes all I had noticed with
fries and some chicken.
Speaker 8 (18:47):
How long does it take?
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (18:48):
See, it is actually only fitting that, given Todd's onion
bagel history, that he actually has to work a drive
through to listen to people lose their minds the way
he did about not having an onion bagel.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Does this look extra to you?
Speaker 8 (19:01):
Sorry, I'll go talk to the guy.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
You did yell at a high school girl because they
didn't have an onion bagel.
Speaker 12 (19:08):
I didn't yell, but I was terse and I made
it known that I was very disappointed and shocked that
a popular bagel like an onion bagel.
Speaker 8 (19:14):
But I didn't ask for a blueberry bagel.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
And she's not management, she's just a high school kid,
and you're yelling at it.
Speaker 12 (19:22):
I know, but I had some history with this place
because I asked him to cut the bagel in half
and they just kind of put a dent in it,
and I have to peel it off, and I'm trying
to eat half of it while I'm driving, which I
shouldn't be doing, and the cream cheese is like on
my thumb and I'm tearing it apart because they didn't
fully cut it through, and that bothered me. So I
was already ready to jump at somebody.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
David in Ohio, Hi, David, Yeah, Yeah, Dan.
Speaker 13 (19:43):
Speaking of Dan and his speaking of pot in his
bagel story, I think that he should go work at
a bagel restaurant for a day. We could follow him
for one day, but I'm not here. If you gonna
throw up to the jobs, thank.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
You, thank you, David.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I don't think there's any way Todd could work at
a fast food restaurant.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
You don't do well under pressure.
Speaker 12 (20:06):
I might not last like ten fifteen minutes.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Chris and Scottsdale. We'll wait for Derek Henry do join us,
high Chris, what's on your mind?
Speaker 12 (20:14):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Dan?
Speaker 14 (20:15):
Listening to Barkley? He interviewed Barkley. You have him on
often and usually the topic of Jordan comes up. And
I just had an idea. I think it was seventy six.
Jerry Lewis, MDA telethon the iconic moment when Frank Sinatra
came on stage. He brought Dean Martin on stage and
he reunited Martin and Lewis Oh. I remember, even it's
(20:36):
ten years old. I knew it was a big deal
watching that, so I was thinking, what could rival that
you could play the role of Sinatra. You bring Barkley
and Jordan together in some fashion over the next few months.
I know Barkley would be up for it. Jordan, that
might be a tall task.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
YEP, I agree with that. Chris Charles was critical of
Michael Les an owner, and Mike didn't take too kindly,
and that was that's a long time ago. But as
you might have realized, Michael Jordan can hold a grudge,
and that feels like that's going to unless something happens
(21:13):
where they're brought together. If you know, somebody passes away,
they happen to be in the same place. Maybe an
accidental meeting there. But Michael doesn't do too much other
than play golf, and he's got his own golf course.
So unless he's inviting Charles to play golf, they may
not be crossing paths, all right. Dereck Henry, he is
(21:36):
the Baltimore Ravens star. Let me give the full lineup here.
He is a five time pro bowler. He is the
twenty twenty NFL Offensive Player of the Year, two time
rushing champ, three time rushing touchdown leader, signed a two year,
thirty million dollar deal in the off season. Twenty five
million is guaranteed. All of a sudden, the running backs
(21:59):
are again, Derrick Henry joining us on the program.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Good to talk to you again.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
You know, let me start when you went to Alabama,
you had one of the more decorated high school resumes
in history of any running back, maybe the greatest of
any running back. Then you go to Alabama and you're
like third or fourth on the depth chart. How do
you how do you process that from going from what
you were in high school to a backups back up
(22:26):
at Alabama.
Speaker 15 (22:28):
Yeah, I think that was one of my first times
that I actually like experienced adversity, which was really good
for me, coming into to that program being highly recruited
and having a stellar high school career and then coming
to Alabama getting humbled.
Speaker 9 (22:50):
Really really quick. It was.
Speaker 15 (22:52):
It was really good for me and a great learner
experience for me as well, being so young because I
graduated high school early in the road. Uh that spring
and got to got to participate in spring football and
uh get to jump on that early and then up
then end up getting hurt the last scrimmage practice right
(23:15):
before the spring game. Uh, fractured my fibula and tore
all the ligaments in my ankle.
Speaker 9 (23:22):
So that year was a big adversary. Learn a year
from me.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
What was your welcome to the NFL moment?
Speaker 15 (23:32):
I'll say probably my rookie year. And in camp I
think we were uh might have been a run to play.
Kind of got lit up a little bit by Sean Spence.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Uh what do you mean you kind of got lit
up like.
Speaker 9 (23:52):
Like like he hit me.
Speaker 15 (23:53):
I didn't fall, but like kind of got knocked back
a little bit and then uh, I ended up finishing
the play.
Speaker 9 (24:00):
But I gotta got a good pop out of it.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
This is in practice.
Speaker 9 (24:05):
This in practice.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Yeah, yeah, they're allowed to hit you that hard.
Speaker 15 (24:08):
I mean it's a thud, but like we mean we're
going for Yeah, it's gonna be it's gonna be loud.
Speaker 9 (24:15):
The stout dude.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
You ever knocked anybody out in practice?
Speaker 9 (24:20):
No, I don't try to do anything like that.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Well, they might run into you and knock themselves out.
Speaker 15 (24:26):
Yeah, I mean if if a collision is that big.
Speaker 9 (24:29):
But I try to be nice to my teammates.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
What do you do better now at thirty one than
you did it twenty one?
Speaker 15 (24:36):
I think the game has just come with more experience,
you know what to expect.
Speaker 9 (24:42):
Uh, look at tendenc'es.
Speaker 15 (24:46):
I mean, as long as you study film, it'll make
it a lot easier to atisation to the to the
little things.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
But what are you looking for when you know you're
getting the ball?
Speaker 9 (24:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Okay, so Lamar is calling the play and then all
of a sudden and then that two seconds, three seconds,
whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
What are you looking at?
Speaker 15 (25:09):
Well, ma'am, just looking at the defense, seeing how they aligned,
trying to see what I can make happen. I mean,
because they give you a picture and then the snap
of finger that could change soon as the ball is snap.
So I just try to try to see what the
defense is given us and not try to anticipate too
(25:29):
much because you don't want to make a pre snap decision,
but just let it come naturally. But just really try
to get a picture from the defense really then be
out there running.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
When did the shift go back to?
Speaker 9 (25:42):
Now?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Running backs are valued?
Speaker 16 (25:43):
With you and Sa Kuan, Yeah, like we had that
big commotion about it, like a year and a half
ago when the market was it was really sad.
Speaker 9 (25:57):
You know, we you know, wanted to do something about it.
Speaker 15 (25:59):
And I think the biggest solution was play better, show
I value.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
But you had to get the opportunities to carry the ball,
to run for nineteen hundred yards and in Saquon for
two thousand.
Speaker 15 (26:14):
Yeah, I mean I think you know, at the time,
I was still Intendesseee when that big commotion came about,
and he was in New York and a lot of
guys were still on different teams.
Speaker 9 (26:24):
And the next year some of us are free agents.
Speaker 15 (26:27):
We all got a little different franchises and you know,
new opportunities, new beginnings, and it all.
Speaker 9 (26:34):
Worked out well for us.
Speaker 15 (26:35):
And the market is, you know, where we wanted to
get it to for the future of guys that's coming
out to us.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
We're talking to Derrick Henry.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
He signed a two year, thirty million dollar extension, twenty
five million guaranteed signing. But when's the last time you
spent a lot of money on something like you splurged?
Speaker 2 (26:52):
He went, oh boy, yeah, I.
Speaker 9 (26:55):
Mean, I don't try to spurge too much.
Speaker 15 (27:00):
Something crazy that I know, I know, but everything everybody
has something that they what they really like.
Speaker 9 (27:06):
I mean, you like what you like.
Speaker 15 (27:07):
And I think my biggest thing right now is I'm
into like watches.
Speaker 9 (27:10):
I love I love watches.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
All right, what did you buy.
Speaker 9 (27:18):
Recently? Purchased?
Speaker 15 (27:19):
Was like, I think I got a a platinum Daytona Rolex.
Speaker 9 (27:24):
Okay, that was a nice one. But yeah, yeah, you
gotta gotta treat yourself. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
But but if you're in New York City, you can
buy those watches that look like real role axes, and
then you don't have to spend you know, fifty sixty million,
you know, one thousand dollars on it, saying.
Speaker 9 (27:42):
Yeah, I don't know about that.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
You can you can't. You can't buy them, though, you
should wear in the game one time, you know, just
oh no, no, no, it'd be it'd be great advertising.
Speaker 9 (27:56):
There, definitely, would I just do it? Though?
Speaker 3 (28:00):
No, the bench press game, Let's go around the room
one rep. Derek's best, all right, Todd for forty or forty,
Seaton four fifty five, Marvin for twenty five, Pauli for
twenty five.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
I'm gonna go four thirty five, one rep.
Speaker 15 (28:24):
I think you might be right, man, I think that's
the last last time I've been like heavy max, probably
for thirty.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Five, okay, but that would probably be up there among
the top running backs.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
I'm guessing.
Speaker 9 (28:37):
I don't know. I mean some strong guys in the league.
Speaker 15 (28:40):
And it's been a while since I did a max bench,
But last time I did it, it was probably probably for
thirty five.
Speaker 9 (28:46):
All right, lady, dumb bell, dumb bill, bitch.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
What about forty yard dash? What would you run it now?
Speaker 15 (28:57):
Probably the same when I when I ran it during
the common what was that? It was like four four
five four four five two.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Okay, But you seem to be faster when you're carrying
the football. There's certain guys who run faster when people
are chasing them.
Speaker 9 (29:13):
Why do you feel that way? I don't know.
Speaker 15 (29:15):
You know, you know, some people say you have like
testing speed, and then some people have football speed. And
I definitely feel like that's the case for me. I
feel like I'm more faster on the field if I
had you and Lamar race, oh, I like me. I'm
(29:36):
gonna guess he likes him, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Who did you have? Did you have a poster on
your wall?
Speaker 9 (29:43):
Growing up?
Speaker 15 (29:45):
I was a big Ladanian Thompson fan, but I like
all running backs though, but I was a big LT fan.
Speaker 9 (29:51):
I said, I had his Bible head jersey. I love LT.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
What what have you talked to him?
Speaker 9 (29:57):
Yeah? I talked LT plenty of times.
Speaker 15 (29:59):
Heank you did he get some time with him as
a little Nike event a Nike hill.
Speaker 16 (30:04):
But he runs differently than you do, way differently, And
I thought I can run like him until I got
older and the bigger guy.
Speaker 9 (30:11):
I was like, maybe, I'm not, like.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Do you wish you were built like Ladanian more than
you're built like you?
Speaker 4 (30:18):
No?
Speaker 15 (30:18):
I mean the Danis and Ladanian and I'm me so
God make me the way I need to be made.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
So I'm sure there are defenders that wish you were
built like Ladanian.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
There was running now.
Speaker 9 (30:29):
I mean you know that size ain't matter, and it
was he was the truth.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Great to talk to you. Congrats on the contract extension.
Speaker 9 (30:40):
There, appreciate it, Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Can we get to two thousand yards this year? I mean,
why stop at nineteen hundred? I know, I know how
important was two thousand for you?
Speaker 15 (30:52):
It wasn't really, it wasn't. It wasn't important at all.
But you know when you get that close everybody's like, hey,
you couldn't get two thousand thineteen hundred, you can get
two thousand.
Speaker 9 (31:01):
I'm like, man, I don't know what in my cards.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
That's well, uh, nice to talk to you. We'll talk
to you again. Thank you again, and congrats on the contract.
Speaker 15 (31:10):
Appreciate it, Dan, Thank you for wearing that hoodie. Man,
I'm green, brighten up my day. Appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Well, this is Happy Gilmore too. This is what Adam said.
Speaker 15 (31:20):
Okay, that's one of my you know, I was haying
with my favorite actors. So that's what's up.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
So that that's the Happy Gilmore golf swing right there,
that patch right there.
Speaker 15 (31:31):
Hey, if you can you do my favorite Yeah, if
you ever see him again, tell him. I'm a really
big fan. I would really love to meet him one day.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Okay. You know what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
I'm going to text him today and ask if he'll
send a video please, and then I'm going to send
it to the Ravens.
Speaker 9 (31:49):
Okay. Cool, I'm a huge fan.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Okay, And if you get to two thousand yards, I'll
get you in a Sandler movie.
Speaker 9 (31:57):
All right? Cool? Say no more? Is that all right?
Speaker 16 (32:00):
That?
Speaker 9 (32:00):
Now you remember this?
Speaker 3 (32:01):
No no, No, I'll take care of my end of it, Okay.
I mean mine's easy, Yeah, yours is hard. You got
to get two thousand yards, no more, no pressure.
Speaker 9 (32:11):
That is all, no pressure at all.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
All right, thank you?
Speaker 9 (32:15):
All right?
Speaker 2 (32:15):
So ya, okay, how about that. Yeah, it's not a
big deal for me.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
I'll just reach out to say, you know what, maybe
during the commercial break, I'll reach out to Sandler, ask
him if he'll send a video and have him say
nice things about Derrick Henry, and then I'll clue him
in on if Henry gets two thousand yards and he
gets put in a Sandler movie.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
His reaction was fantastic. He's like, he goes, if I
get the two thousand, you're gonna hold up your end
of the bet.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
He's actually saying something to the Ravens PR person like, hey,
he's you're a witness here. Now there's a few million
people who are a witness to that.
Speaker 8 (32:53):
Let's say no more, it's on.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Let's go.
Speaker 17 (32:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
I'll reach out to Sandler, just say, Sandman, need to
you do a video and if Derek Henry gets two
thousand yards, he gets in your next movie. Sure we
can do that, all right, let's take a break, last
call for phone calls, what we learn, what's in store tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
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 app.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Robert or Rio will join us on the program. Coming
up tomorrow. Casey in La joins us. Now, Hi, Casey,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 9 (33:32):
Hey?
Speaker 14 (33:32):
What's happened? Dan?
Speaker 9 (33:33):
Are you? Yesterday?
Speaker 17 (33:35):
You guys had a little conversation about with Cutching being
a Hall of Famer because he's an MVP and the like,
I'm going to give you a Hall of Famer. He's
a ten time All Star in the National League, a
six time Silber Slugger, four time Gold Glove. Yeah, Steve Garvey,
Steve Garby's a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Yeah, We've we brought that up before that. I mean,
you look at the resume. I don't know if anybody
who's at ten time All Star maybe who's not in
the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
But I agree with you, Casey.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Yeah, And we weren't saying that Andrew McCutcheon was a
Hall of Famer. He was the Hall of very good
That's that's what we were talking about. But Steve Harvey,
Steve Garvey and Steve Harvey, did we find out when
a celebrity family feud is going to be We're supposed
to find that out at some point here so we
could tell the audience. I'm gonna guess July, Yes, Todd.
Speaker 12 (34:28):
I'm going to reach out or is that being a
past to wait for them.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
To no't just say hey, we're excited to share with
our audience any indication of when that episode is going
to air when we go opposite.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
The Rich Eisen Show. We'll do that, and it's on
a Sunday night, right.
Speaker 12 (34:44):
I believe so, but I'm not sure.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
Yeah, I think I think this is a it's a
big deal that it's a big audience Sunday night, right.
Speaker 8 (34:51):
Marvin Primetime, will ABC.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Yeah, this is a big deal.
Speaker 8 (34:56):
We're part of the big summer lineup.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
I'm glad we did it.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
I did have When we're on stage with Steve Harvey,
I'm thinking, oh, this is not going to be fun.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
This is gonna go oh, you know, and poorly.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
And then I kept thinking that I sort of have
the same feeling when I do this show. But then
I always come back to the same thought content. If
it's really bad, as long as it's funny, that's all
I care about. And Marvin and Fritzy, I thought, we're
really good. They're very entertaining. Let me put it that way.
We celebrate, yes, we do winter lose. We celebrate. But
(35:40):
well we'll find that out and then we'll let you
know when that episode will air. Let's see. So Dereck Henry,
I'll reach out to Sandler and I'll just say, hey,
can you do a video? Say something nice about Derek
Henry And oh, by the way, if he gets two
thousand yards rushing, he's in your next movie. And I
think that's fair. I mean, Sandler, you know, as long
(36:03):
as he lives up to his end of this putting
him in a movie, and he'll do the video, and
then Derrick Henry just has to go out and rush
for two thousand yards.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Yes, yes, Pauline, I just love.
Speaker 5 (36:13):
The idea of after week three, Derrick Henry's got like
one hundred youth four hundred and fifty yards and someone goes,
are you on pace for two thousand and Well, that's
the game plan because the goal is to get into
a Standler movie.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
No, no, it's not. Are you a Pace for two thousand?
Are you on Pace for Sandler?
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Really?
Speaker 3 (36:29):
That's what it should be exactly right. Oh, this is
what I was thinking with Saquon Barkley. You know how
Jordan has his jump Man? Can Saquon Barkley create his
own logo where he is jumping over the player backwards?
Let's say he has merchandise? Could he do the Saquon
his version of the Jumpman? Just you know that's on
(36:52):
the Madden cover. What do you think perfect?
Speaker 5 (36:56):
Is he already known for it? It's already branded.
Speaker 4 (36:59):
The league is gonna hmmm, sorry, I think we own that.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Oh oh yeah, I didn't realize that catchphrases that I
had at ESPN. ESPN owns those that I wasn't allowed
to take those with me. That I guess they owned
intellectual property of everything that we said there. David in Anaheim,
Hi David, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9 (37:22):
Hey?
Speaker 13 (37:23):
Thanks long time listener five seven stop one eighty. Hey
is a is a Steeler fan and a football fan?
Speaker 17 (37:31):
Thanks a lot? What the hell was that?
Speaker 9 (37:33):
Like?
Speaker 3 (37:33):
Derek Hener needs any more motivation to run all over
the NFL?
Speaker 9 (37:39):
True?
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Yeah, I don't know if he needs any motivation there?
What the hell?
Speaker 3 (37:45):
Yeah, sorry about that, David. You know, I didn't think
of others here. I'm just thinking of Derrick Henry. I mean,
you imagine getting nineteen hundred yards and you don't lead
the NFL in rushing undred yards Saquon. Oh, by the way,
is that the greatest season of running back has ever
(38:07):
turned in? If you look at now, not the most yards,
but he won a Super Bowl as well, So if
you factor in now, he what did he have from
a line of scrimmage, like total yards? I don't I
don't know how many yards he had passed reception wise,
because I truly thought they were going to use him
(38:29):
like the Niners do Christian McCaffrey when they got him
in Philadelphia, that he'd be a guy that I would
try to get sixty or seventy catches out of.
Speaker 5 (38:37):
Yes, Paul, Derrick Henry ran for nineteen hundred and twenty
one yards. He had only nineteen catches for one night.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
No Saquon Barkley. I'm sorry, No, Saquon Barkley. He's the
one who had the two thousand yards and then I
don't know how many catches he had, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 8 (38:53):
Turell Davis had two thousand yards anyone the Super Bowl?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Okay, yep Ooh, that's a pretty much a good call.
Good call.
Speaker 5 (39:01):
Yeah, Paul had eighty three total yards last year two
thousand and five rushing and receiving. He had thirty three
catches for two hundred and seventy eight.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
I got to do better than that. He gotta do better.
Speaker 5 (39:14):
His rookie year, he had ninety one reception.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Yeah, that's why I thought that that he would be
a great safety valve for Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
I thought he had a good season. He had a
disappointing season. I mean, the jump was cool, but other
than that, what did he really well?
Speaker 2 (39:28):
He got shut down in the Super Bowl. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (39:30):
Overrating?
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Yeah, step up your game? Yeah, what's wrong with you?
Final results of the poll question how overrated? Sque Wow? Well,
oh my.
Speaker 4 (39:42):
God, this joke, it's we're just kidding. Yeah, she is
a team that will drop off next season. Vikings ran
away with that. Who's off to a worse start? Stefan
Diggs or Bill Belichick? Bill ran away with that one too.
There's a lot of big hangover from uh Jordan gate
this in sports history, Paul, here's just one kind of sad.
(40:03):
Two thousand and three, Sammy Sosa of the Chicago Cubs
broke a bat when he grounded out versus the Tampa
Bay Devil Rays. The bat was corked and exploded all
over the field.
Speaker 5 (40:12):
He said he grabbed the wrong bat that he used
to put on a show during batting practice.
Speaker 9 (40:17):
We believe you, We believe you.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Yes, of course we do. Uh, let me see anything else.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
Josh Gibson in nineteen thirty seven hit a home run
two feet below the rim of Yankee Stadium, five hundred
and eighty feet day, five hundred and eighty feet for
Josh Gibson. All right, let's go around the room. What
you learn on the program, Todd? Would you learn.
Speaker 12 (40:43):
Your best adviser and up and coming sports broadcaster? Do
not put a time frame on success.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
Seaton Derrick Henry has new motivation for this season.
Speaker 8 (40:51):
Marvin Fritzi's highlight in twenty three years was meeting Tim Tebow. Yeah,
I'd come up with that.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
I don't know, but it's a great anniversary, though.
Speaker 5 (41:00):
Paul, we have the Henry Sandler Trecker.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
What did I learn today?
Speaker 12 (41:04):
The last time Derek Henry did a max bench press
one rep, he put up four to three five LB's.

Speaker 4 (00:36):
Let's see we got up there right now? Team that
will drop off this season and miss the playoffs, Vikings
and Commanders sort of running away with that one. Everybody
thinks the Chiefs will be in the playoffs. Okay, hot take,
except for you, except for me out. Someone also commented
on that that apparently I'm on the pink stuff, the
(00:59):
pink Apparently I'm on the pink stuff, the pink stuff
on the yacht. Yeah yeah, And speaking of pink stuff,
off to more if he start Stefan Diggs and the
Patriots or Bill Belichick in North Carolina. That's at about
sixty eight percent for Bill people still not thrilled with
that situation.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yeah, all you gotta do is win games, that's all.
Stefan Diggs just catch passive score touchdowns. Feels like those
things have a way of going away really quickly.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
Yeah, Paul, but there's no way for Digs to play
his way out of this in June, no.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Or July, yeah or August. It's just do you address
it once and then that's it. We'll check in with

Speaker 3 (01:45):
It's always brought to you by Panini America, the official
trading court to the Dan Patrick Show. Thank you for
your watching on Peacock. That's our streaming partner, listening on
our radio affiliates over four hundred cities that carry the program. iHeartRadio,
Fox Sports Radio as well. Also, I mentioned this because
I do think it's important. Lions All Pro center Frank
(02:07):
Ragnow announced his retirement. They did draft a couple of
offensive linemen that maybe you can turn them into a center,
but you lose your center on a team that I mean,
Penny Sewele is a future Hall of Fame lineman, but
you got Montgomery and Jamier Gibbs. You know, you got
(02:30):
a quarterback who's not exactly mobile. I mean, they got
everything that you need to compete, but now you lose
your center and you lose both your coordinators in the offseason.
Phil Perry covers the Patriots. The Patriots insider for NBC
Sports Boston kind enough to join us so digs at practice.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
But didn't talk.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
What kind of update has the media been given on
his availability to address what happened recently.
Speaker 7 (03:01):
Yeah, we haven't been given any update, Dan, and thanks
for having me first of all. But I think what's
probably going to happen is during the mandatory mini camp
portion of the off season calendar here, so that'll be
June ninth through eleventh for the Patriots, that we would
at some point have some availability to him. So we're
gonna apply as much pressure as humanly possible, Dan, and
(03:22):
we're gonna we're gonna make sure we get him in
front of a microphone.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
I think he's probably not all that scared of speaking
to us.
Speaker 7 (03:29):
On his way out to the field yesterday, he made
sure to basically stop and wave at the cameras and say,
you know, nice to see you. Also, I think he'll
be ready to talk to us whenever the team will
allow it.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
If I gave you the first question, what are you
asking Stefan Diggs?
Speaker 6 (03:46):
Can he tell us what was in the bag? You know?
I think that is that to me is kind of
at the crux of it.
Speaker 7 (03:53):
And I think his answer Dan, while I wouldn't expect
him to be all that forthcoming with us, I think
how he answers that question to Mike Vrabel could make
a serious impact on their relationship moving forward.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Mike is obviously a former player.
Speaker 7 (04:10):
He is not naive to what players might be doing
a moral day weekend when they're away from the team
during the voluntary portion of the NFL calendar.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
But I think if you're going to start off.
Speaker 7 (04:19):
On that kind of foot where he can tell if
you are being dishonest with him, that you've been dishonest
with him, that to me doesn't bode well for that
relationship moving forward. As desperately as the Patriots need him,
they need this guy, They need him to be on
the field, they need him to be their best receiver,
which to me is asking a lot for somebody's coming
off of his injury and is on the other side
of thirty, but that's sort of where they're at in
(04:43):
terms of that receiver room and the talent offensively on
the team overall. But I think the answer to that
question for Diggs too Vrabel and what was he doing
on the boat and what kind of decisions were being
made will be really critical for them.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Is this a Patriots situation now or does this escalate
that this is an NFL situation.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
I think the difficult part of this, if the NFL
was ever going to try to get involved, is how
would you prove anything right? I mean, the video we
have is what it is. You can't really tell what's
in the bag. He's not actually consuming anything that was
in the bag. He's giving it away.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
He is saying.
Speaker 7 (05:25):
It sounds like, don't do it all, go have a
good time and then come back and see me. So
you know, that doesn't sound great if you're the Patriots
or the NFL. But I don't know how you would
enforce anything other than maybe to use the league's broad
powers of being able to punish these guys the way
they used to without much in the way of evidence.
(05:45):
But I think they've kind of gotten away from that
and they've wanted to rely more on. Okay, if something happens,
you know, if law enforcement gets involved and they have
been convicted of something, then we'll step in and we'll
punish from there.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
I think they want to get out of.
Speaker 7 (05:59):
The the legal business, the law enforcement business, quite frankly,
so I think this would if anything, damn.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
My guess is because.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
If you ably have to do something, I think you
have to do something. You're trying to establish a culture here.
You're trying to show that, you know, we're not only
going to make sure we hold the guys that are
on the lower end of the totem poll to a
certain standard, but this guy's going to be one of
our best players. We think we have to make sure
we hold him to that very same standard. So my
guess is there might be some kind of fine or
(06:30):
something else behind closed doors that the rest of the
team knows about to make sure that they have made
a statement in the aftermath of all this.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
How's the building different since Belichick left?
Speaker 7 (06:44):
Well, it was very different last year under Gerrod Mayo,
that's for sure. I think Mayo wanted to make sure,
even though he spent his entire pro career under Belichick,
that he was going to make it very clear to
everybody that business was going to be done differently. What's
interesting with Rabel is that he wants to separate himself
from Bill too, but we're hearing some of the same messages.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
Maybe it's a slightly different wording involved, but.
Speaker 7 (07:07):
Like you know, we're still hearing I think he even
said it, maybe even in this order Dan during his
introductory press conference, that he wants smart, tough, and dependable players.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
We've been hearing smart.
Speaker 7 (07:18):
Tough, dependable from Bill and I'm sure other coaches as well,
But that was one of Bill's you know, relied upon
cliches in that building for years and years and years,
and we're still hearing it from Mike. Mike is a
big fan of saying things like he wants players who
are going to treat the team appropriately and if they don't,
then he has to protect the team. And Bill had
(07:39):
it right on the door as you were leaving the building,
put the team first. Speak for yourself, put the team first.
And so there are going to be some belichickiing kinds
of vibes with Vrabel, whether he wants to acknowledge it
or not, and he I think would bristle at the
notion that there would be any similarities between the two
of them, but there are. They're old school football guys.
They want their team to be run a certain way.
(08:01):
Mike I think will be much more of a player's coach,
and you're already hearing that from some of the players,
But just in terms of their overall philosophies, they're pretty similar.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
As far as reporters, how many are still covering Belichick?
How important is that story in New England now that
he's in North Carolina.
Speaker 8 (08:21):
Oh, it's huge.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
We talk about it almost every day. The Jordan Hudson stuff.
I mean, we can't get enough up here.
Speaker 8 (08:29):
Dan.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
It is the story, I would say, in the red
Even if the Celtics are making a run in the postseason,
the thing that people will stop you on the street
and ask you about is Bill Belichick and Jordan Hudson
and what's going on there? And how is he allowing
this to happen? And how long is he gonna last
at North Carolina. We talk about it almost every night,
(08:50):
because there's almost every day there's something new.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
Thank God for our buddy Pablo Torre.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
I mean, unbelievable the work that he's been doing and
I know there are others who you know, who may
look at that and say, is is that how we
should be spending our time. I heard Bill Sibbon say
something to that effect recently on a podcast.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
But people are interested.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
And so you know, I get it, and we certainly
are interested still up here as well. And I think
people are just fascinated to see what the football looks like.
Of course they're interested in all the Jordan Hudson stuff.
I mean, we had people that were interested in the
the Miss main pageant results a couple of weeks ago, Dan,
so people are one hundred percent on that end of
the storyline. But I think people really want to see
(09:30):
how is Bill going to be able to handle college kids?
How is he going to adapt to the college game.
Is he going to actually be able to win if
he doesn't? What do those press conferences look like? Because
for those of us that have sat in those rooms,
you know, I covered Bill for almost fifteen years and
sat in the front row for a lot of those
press conferences and got a lot of very awkward stare
(09:53):
downs and very awkward pauses, and sometimes worse than that,
which I'm sure everybody that's listening is familiar with as well.
So if you're writing for the Daily Bugle on you know,
on North Carolina's campus there whatever that is, the Daily
tar Heel, you know, how do those interactions go with
with Coach Belichick? You know that to me is a
fascinating part of this too. If it doesn't go all
(10:15):
that great on the football field.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I'll give you five minutes with Belichick or five minutes
with Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
I'm taking digs in that scenario, Dan, because I think
even after covering Bill as long as I've covered, as
long as I've covered him, I'm not sure five minutes
with Bill is going to yield all that much.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
What about me?
Speaker 3 (10:38):
What about his girlfriend? Five minutes with Jordan Hudson or
Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
I'm taking digs, okay, but I'm curious. I would I
would like to hear your reporter's instincts on that, Dan.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
Like if you got if you had digs, what would
be the first thing you would ask him?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
The same thing I would say, what was in the back?
Speaker 9 (10:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I think you have to write, well, yeah, it's because
it's videoed. I mean he saw it, he was being videotaped,
and it's not like he was done in a clandestine,
surreptitiously way. He was there presenting this and there's Cardi
b and two other women there. They're not crushed up sweethearts.
I mean there's something there.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
So you got fundip. You didn't think it was funda.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Well, it was for him and them. I'm guessing it
was fund dip in a different way. But yeah, I
think you got to ask that. And I don't know
how he's going to answer this because at some point
he has to answer it. But you know, does it
go away soon after that? And certainly if you play well,
nobody cares. I wouldn't have signed him to begin with
(11:44):
at that age, coming off an injury. I don't want
him to do to Drake May what maybe he was
doing to Josh Allen, even though he was really good
with Josh Allen. There's a reason why he's bounced around
to a couple of teams here. I want Drake May
to establish his own receipt. And I brought up when
Baker Mayfield was in Cleveland and they brought in OBJ
(12:05):
and he deferred to OBJ to the detriment of Baker
Mayfield and the team.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
It's so interesting because this is why they made such
a hard push for Chris Godwin. They tried to blow
him out of the water, and they did financially. He
just didn't accept it. But they went above and beyond
time and again in their pursuit of Godwin, in part
because not only is he a good player, although he's
coming off an injury as well, but he's considered an
(12:35):
unbelievable teammate and a great locker room guy and the
kind of positive force that you would want to impact
on your young quarterback. They went after DK Metcalf. They
let him know, hey, would you sign with us long
term if we trade it for you? He told them no,
which I think is surprised, and I think that has
been maybe one of the biggest surprises to Vrabel since
he's taken the new job, is their inability to convince
(12:57):
guys to join them in New England. The DK Metcalf one, specifically,
somebody within the organization told me after he ended up
signing with Pittsburgh. Man must be a huge Mason Rudolph Fan.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I guess, well, because it comes down to this. The
reason why players wanted to go there was because Tom
Brady could help you win a super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
That's it. That's it.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Yeah, Yeah, I got to play with Bill Belichick coach.
You know, it's about I'm going to go there all
put up with this the Patriot way, but I get
to play with Tom Brady and I might win a
super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I mean, that's that's power. And you don't.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
They're convinced, Yeah, they don't.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
And they're convinced that, you know, if they don't get
to that level, which you know, whoever gets to that level,
but they're convinced. This regime is convinced that they will
win eventually, and they'll be able to convince more players
than they have, maybe not to the same degree they
would have been able to with Belichick and Brady, but
that that will change eventually. It's just I think really
hard for them. It might be really hard for them
(13:59):
to just.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
Get out of the blocks.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
Because as good as a coach as Mike vrabel is
and I think he's a good coach, and I think
Josh McDaniel is a great offensive coordinator, if you don't
have the talent, it's really really hard to win in
this league. And they might have at a great quarterback,
Drake May I think is Uber talented and we'll see
what he develops into.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
But they need those pieces around him that receiver room.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
If Digs is going to be their best player, I
think that's that is testament to what they have in
that receiver room, which is probably not enough right now.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Great to talk to you, Phil, Thanks for joining us,
and good luck with that first question to Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
I'll let you know how it goes. Dan, appreciate you
having me.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
We'll be listening. We'll be listening.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
That's a Phil Perry, the Patriots Insider, NBC Sports Boston. Yeah,
you got to ask the question. You got to get
it out of the way. I don't know what he's
going to tell you. I don't know if the NFL
gets involved in this. You're the Patriots. I mean, you
need him. You know, there's that sliding scale of all right,
what are you accused of? And how good are you? Well,
(14:57):
we just signed you to that contract. It's not that
big a deal, you now, no big deal that you know.
Those girls were just having fun, okay, and I guess
there might be just a little more to that, but
we'll see, we'll see. Derek Henry will join us coming up.
Also thoughts and prayers to Seaton as I found out
(15:19):
that somebody reached out to him and told him it's
time for Seating to quit smoking. What Yeah, somebody was
worried about Seating yesterday, and yes, look what smoking's done
to you.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
That did.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
I got a message from a fella that said something
along the lines of I'm paraphrasing, but like, hey, man,
I'm just really concerned about you.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
You look awful.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Smoking is really taking a toll on you, and do yourself.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Do yourself a favor, quit.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Smoking so you can enjoy some years with your son,
which is a very nice message. He's right, everyone should
quit smoking. It's a bad habit. And that's so I
replied to him. You know, unfortunately for me, I quit
smoking sixteen years ago, and I.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Think this is just the way I look.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
I don't know that I've ever been having not since
I was.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
In fourth grade. Have I been healthier than this right now?
So the last two years or so, I've been not
as healthy as I've ever been in my life.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Yeah, you stop smoking, stop drinking, And he's saying, man,
look the look off. You know what I would do,
I'd start smoking and drinking.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Get all right back up. I got it.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
That's only two of the numerous things I've.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Quit, man, and I do think about picking them all
back up, I can tell you all right, Well, take
a break.
Speaker 3 (16:37):

Speaker 3 (17:51):
Fritzie says he's not sure what he's doing with the
show when it ends, but he said maybe he could
work out a McDonald's or a fast food restaurant. We
just heard from Matthew Hanson. He's the CEO of something
in really important here. Let me see. He has stores
(18:13):
in thirty two states fast food restaurants. We have Taco Bell, Sonic, KFC,
and Arby's. Maybe Todd would like to work at Taco Bell,
work the line there, or maybe.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
KFC choices there.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Yes, but Matthew Hanson the COO, and he reached out
and said, if things don't work out with you, trying
to crawl back to ESPN when this show ends and
maybe you could work at a fast food restaurant.
Speaker 8 (18:42):
Get yelled at, what are you doing?
Speaker 12 (18:44):
I've been waiting twenty minutes all I had noticed with
fries and some chicken.
Speaker 8 (18:47):
How long does it take?
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (18:48):
See, it is actually only fitting that, given Todd's onion
bagel history, that he actually has to work a drive
through to listen to people lose their minds the way
he did about not having an onion bagel.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Does this look extra to you?
Speaker 8 (19:01):
Sorry, I'll go talk to the guy.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
You did yell at a high school girl because they
didn't have an onion bagel.
Speaker 12 (19:08):
I didn't yell, but I was terse and I made
it known that I was very disappointed and shocked that
a popular bagel like an onion bagel.
Speaker 8 (19:14):
But I didn't ask for a blueberry bagel.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
And she's not management, she's just a high school kid,
and you're yelling at it.
Speaker 12 (19:22):
I know, but I had some history with this place
because I asked him to cut the bagel in half
and they just kind of put a dent in it,
and I have to peel it off, and I'm trying
to eat half of it while I'm driving, which I
shouldn't be doing, and the cream cheese is like on
my thumb and I'm tearing it apart because they didn't
fully cut it through, and that bothered me. So I
was already ready to jump at somebody.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
David in Ohio, Hi, David, Yeah, Yeah, Dan.
Speaker 13 (19:43):
Speaking of Dan and his speaking of pot in his
bagel story, I think that he should go work at
a bagel restaurant for a day. We could follow him
for one day, but I'm not here. If you gonna
throw up to the jobs, thank.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
You, thank you, David.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I don't think there's any way Todd could work at
a fast food restaurant.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
You don't do well under pressure.
Speaker 12 (20:06):
I might not last like ten fifteen minutes.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Chris and Scottsdale. We'll wait for Derek Henry do join us,
high Chris, what's on your mind?
Speaker 12 (20:14):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Dan?
Speaker 14 (20:15):
Listening to Barkley? He interviewed Barkley. You have him on
often and usually the topic of Jordan comes up. And
I just had an idea. I think it was seventy six.
Jerry Lewis, MDA telethon the iconic moment when Frank Sinatra
came on stage. He brought Dean Martin on stage and
he reunited Martin and Lewis Oh. I remember, even it's
(20:36):
ten years old. I knew it was a big deal
watching that, so I was thinking, what could rival that
you could play the role of Sinatra. You bring Barkley
and Jordan together in some fashion over the next few months.
I know Barkley would be up for it. Jordan, that
might be a tall task.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
YEP, I agree with that. Chris Charles was critical of
Michael Les an owner, and Mike didn't take too kindly,
and that was that's a long time ago. But as
you might have realized, Michael Jordan can hold a grudge,
and that feels like that's going to unless something happens
(21:13):
where they're brought together. If you know, somebody passes away,
they happen to be in the same place. Maybe an
accidental meeting there. But Michael doesn't do too much other
than play golf, and he's got his own golf course.
So unless he's inviting Charles to play golf, they may
not be crossing paths, all right. Dereck Henry, he is
(21:36):
the Baltimore Ravens star. Let me give the full lineup here.
He is a five time pro bowler. He is the
twenty twenty NFL Offensive Player of the Year, two time
rushing champ, three time rushing touchdown leader, signed a two year,
thirty million dollar deal in the off season. Twenty five
million is guaranteed. All of a sudden, the running backs
(21:59):
are again, Derrick Henry joining us on the program.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Good to talk to you again.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
You know, let me start when you went to Alabama,
you had one of the more decorated high school resumes
in history of any running back, maybe the greatest of
any running back. Then you go to Alabama and you're
like third or fourth on the depth chart. How do
you how do you process that from going from what
you were in high school to a backups back up
(22:26):
at Alabama.
Speaker 15 (22:28):
Yeah, I think that was one of my first times
that I actually like experienced adversity, which was really good
for me, coming into to that program being highly recruited
and having a stellar high school career and then coming
to Alabama getting humbled.
Speaker 9 (22:50):
Really really quick. It was.
Speaker 15 (22:52):
It was really good for me and a great learner
experience for me as well, being so young because I
graduated high school early in the road. Uh that spring
and got to got to participate in spring football and
uh get to jump on that early and then up
then end up getting hurt the last scrimmage practice right
(23:15):
before the spring game. Uh, fractured my fibula and tore
all the ligaments in my ankle.
Speaker 9 (23:22):
So that year was a big adversary. Learn a year
from me.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
What was your welcome to the NFL moment?
Speaker 15 (23:32):
I'll say probably my rookie year. And in camp I
think we were uh might have been a run to play.
Kind of got lit up a little bit by Sean Spence.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Uh what do you mean you kind of got lit
up like.
Speaker 9 (23:52):
Like like he hit me.
Speaker 15 (23:53):
I didn't fall, but like kind of got knocked back
a little bit and then uh, I ended up finishing
the play.
Speaker 9 (24:00):
But I gotta got a good pop out of it.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
This is in practice.
Speaker 9 (24:05):
This in practice.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Yeah, yeah, they're allowed to hit you that hard.
Speaker 15 (24:08):
I mean it's a thud, but like we mean we're
going for Yeah, it's gonna be it's gonna be loud.
Speaker 9 (24:15):
The stout dude.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
You ever knocked anybody out in practice?
Speaker 9 (24:20):
No, I don't try to do anything like that.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Well, they might run into you and knock themselves out.
Speaker 15 (24:26):
Yeah, I mean if if a collision is that big.
Speaker 9 (24:29):
But I try to be nice to my teammates.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
What do you do better now at thirty one than
you did it twenty one?
Speaker 15 (24:36):
I think the game has just come with more experience,
you know what to expect.
Speaker 9 (24:42):
Uh, look at tendenc'es.
Speaker 15 (24:46):
I mean, as long as you study film, it'll make
it a lot easier to atisation to the to the
little things.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
But what are you looking for when you know you're
getting the ball?
Speaker 9 (24:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Okay, so Lamar is calling the play and then all
of a sudden and then that two seconds, three seconds,
whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
What are you looking at?
Speaker 15 (25:09):
Well, ma'am, just looking at the defense, seeing how they aligned,
trying to see what I can make happen. I mean,
because they give you a picture and then the snap
of finger that could change soon as the ball is snap.
So I just try to try to see what the
defense is given us and not try to anticipate too
(25:29):
much because you don't want to make a pre snap decision,
but just let it come naturally. But just really try
to get a picture from the defense really then be
out there running.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
When did the shift go back to?
Speaker 9 (25:42):
Now?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Running backs are valued?
Speaker 16 (25:43):
With you and Sa Kuan, Yeah, like we had that
big commotion about it, like a year and a half
ago when the market was it was really sad.
Speaker 9 (25:57):
You know, we you know, wanted to do something about it.
Speaker 15 (25:59):
And I think the biggest solution was play better, show
I value.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
But you had to get the opportunities to carry the ball,
to run for nineteen hundred yards and in Saquon for
two thousand.
Speaker 15 (26:14):
Yeah, I mean I think you know, at the time,
I was still Intendesseee when that big commotion came about,
and he was in New York and a lot of
guys were still on different teams.
Speaker 9 (26:24):
And the next year some of us are free agents.
Speaker 15 (26:27):
We all got a little different franchises and you know,
new opportunities, new beginnings, and it all.
Speaker 9 (26:34):
Worked out well for us.
Speaker 15 (26:35):
And the market is, you know, where we wanted to
get it to for the future of guys that's coming
out to us.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
We're talking to Derrick Henry.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
He signed a two year, thirty million dollar extension, twenty
five million guaranteed signing. But when's the last time you
spent a lot of money on something like you splurged?
Speaker 2 (26:52):
He went, oh boy, yeah, I.
Speaker 9 (26:55):
Mean, I don't try to spurge too much.
Speaker 15 (27:00):
Something crazy that I know, I know, but everything everybody
has something that they what they really like.
Speaker 9 (27:06):
I mean, you like what you like.
Speaker 15 (27:07):
And I think my biggest thing right now is I'm
into like watches.
Speaker 9 (27:10):
I love I love watches.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
All right, what did you buy.
Speaker 9 (27:18):
Recently? Purchased?
Speaker 15 (27:19):
Was like, I think I got a a platinum Daytona Rolex.
Speaker 9 (27:24):
Okay, that was a nice one. But yeah, yeah, you
gotta gotta treat yourself. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
But but if you're in New York City, you can
buy those watches that look like real role axes, and
then you don't have to spend you know, fifty sixty million,
you know, one thousand dollars on it, saying.
Speaker 9 (27:42):
Yeah, I don't know about that.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
You can you can't. You can't buy them, though, you
should wear in the game one time, you know, just
oh no, no, no, it'd be it'd be great advertising.
Speaker 9 (27:56):
There, definitely, would I just do it? Though?
Speaker 3 (28:00):
No, the bench press game, Let's go around the room
one rep. Derek's best, all right, Todd for forty or forty,
Seaton four fifty five, Marvin for twenty five, Pauli for
twenty five.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
I'm gonna go four thirty five, one rep.
Speaker 15 (28:24):
I think you might be right, man, I think that's
the last last time I've been like heavy max, probably
for thirty.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Five, okay, but that would probably be up there among
the top running backs.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
I'm guessing.
Speaker 9 (28:37):
I don't know. I mean some strong guys in the league.
Speaker 15 (28:40):
And it's been a while since I did a max bench,
But last time I did it, it was probably probably for
thirty five.
Speaker 9 (28:46):
All right, lady, dumb bell, dumb bill, bitch.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
What about forty yard dash? What would you run it now?
Speaker 15 (28:57):
Probably the same when I when I ran it during
the common what was that? It was like four four
five four four five two.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Okay, But you seem to be faster when you're carrying
the football. There's certain guys who run faster when people
are chasing them.
Speaker 9 (29:13):
Why do you feel that way? I don't know.
Speaker 15 (29:15):
You know, you know, some people say you have like
testing speed, and then some people have football speed. And
I definitely feel like that's the case for me. I
feel like I'm more faster on the field if I
had you and Lamar race, oh, I like me. I'm
(29:36):
gonna guess he likes him, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Who did you have? Did you have a poster on
your wall?
Speaker 9 (29:43):
Growing up?
Speaker 15 (29:45):
I was a big Ladanian Thompson fan, but I like
all running backs though, but I was a big LT fan.
Speaker 9 (29:51):
I said, I had his Bible head jersey. I love LT.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
What what have you talked to him?
Speaker 9 (29:57):
Yeah? I talked LT plenty of times.
Speaker 15 (29:59):
Heank you did he get some time with him as
a little Nike event a Nike hill.
Speaker 16 (30:04):
But he runs differently than you do, way differently, And
I thought I can run like him until I got
older and the bigger guy.
Speaker 9 (30:11):
I was like, maybe, I'm not, like.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Do you wish you were built like Ladanian more than
you're built like you?
Speaker 4 (30:18):
No?
Speaker 15 (30:18):
I mean the Danis and Ladanian and I'm me so
God make me the way I need to be made.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
So I'm sure there are defenders that wish you were
built like Ladanian.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
There was running now.
Speaker 9 (30:29):
I mean you know that size ain't matter, and it
was he was the truth.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Great to talk to you. Congrats on the contract extension.
Speaker 9 (30:40):
There, appreciate it, Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Can we get to two thousand yards this year? I mean,
why stop at nineteen hundred? I know, I know how
important was two thousand for you?
Speaker 15 (30:52):
It wasn't really, it wasn't. It wasn't important at all.
But you know when you get that close everybody's like, hey,
you couldn't get two thousand thineteen hundred, you can get
two thousand.
Speaker 9 (31:01):
I'm like, man, I don't know what in my cards.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
That's well, uh, nice to talk to you. We'll talk
to you again. Thank you again, and congrats on the contract.
Speaker 15 (31:10):
Appreciate it, Dan, Thank you for wearing that hoodie. Man,
I'm green, brighten up my day. Appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Well, this is Happy Gilmore too. This is what Adam said.
Speaker 15 (31:20):
Okay, that's one of my you know, I was haying
with my favorite actors. So that's what's up.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
So that that's the Happy Gilmore golf swing right there,
that patch right there.
Speaker 15 (31:31):
Hey, if you can you do my favorite Yeah, if
you ever see him again, tell him. I'm a really
big fan. I would really love to meet him one day.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Okay. You know what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
I'm going to text him today and ask if he'll
send a video please, and then I'm going to send
it to the Ravens.
Speaker 9 (31:49):
Okay. Cool, I'm a huge fan.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Okay, And if you get to two thousand yards, I'll
get you in a Sandler movie.
Speaker 9 (31:57):
All right? Cool? Say no more? Is that all right?
Speaker 16 (32:00):
That?
Speaker 9 (32:00):
Now you remember this?
Speaker 3 (32:01):
No no, No, I'll take care of my end of it, Okay.
I mean mine's easy, Yeah, yours is hard. You got
to get two thousand yards, no more, no pressure.
Speaker 9 (32:11):
That is all, no pressure at all.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
All right, thank you?
Speaker 9 (32:15):
All right?
Speaker 2 (32:15):
So ya, okay, how about that. Yeah, it's not a
big deal for me.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
I'll just reach out to say, you know what, maybe
during the commercial break, I'll reach out to Sandler, ask
him if he'll send a video and have him say
nice things about Derrick Henry, and then I'll clue him
in on if Henry gets two thousand yards and he
gets put in a Sandler movie.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
His reaction was fantastic. He's like, he goes, if I
get the two thousand, you're gonna hold up your end
of the bet.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
He's actually saying something to the Ravens PR person like, hey,
he's you're a witness here. Now there's a few million
people who are a witness to that.
Speaker 8 (32:53):
Let's say no more, it's on.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Let's go.
Speaker 17 (32:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
I'll reach out to Sandler, just say, Sandman, need to
you do a video and if Derek Henry gets two
thousand yards, he gets in your next movie. Sure we
can do that, all right, let's take a break, last
call for phone calls, what we learn, what's in store tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
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 app.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Robert or Rio will join us on the program. Coming
up tomorrow. Casey in La joins us. Now, Hi, Casey,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 9 (33:32):
Hey?
Speaker 14 (33:32):
What's happened? Dan?
Speaker 9 (33:33):
Are you? Yesterday?
Speaker 17 (33:35):
You guys had a little conversation about with Cutching being
a Hall of Famer because he's an MVP and the like,
I'm going to give you a Hall of Famer. He's
a ten time All Star in the National League, a
six time Silber Slugger, four time Gold Glove. Yeah, Steve Garvey,
Steve Garby's a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Yeah, We've we brought that up before that. I mean,
you look at the resume. I don't know if anybody
who's at ten time All Star maybe who's not in
the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
But I agree with you, Casey.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Yeah, And we weren't saying that Andrew McCutcheon was a
Hall of Famer. He was the Hall of very good
That's that's what we were talking about. But Steve Harvey,
Steve Garvey and Steve Harvey, did we find out when
a celebrity family feud is going to be We're supposed
to find that out at some point here so we
could tell the audience. I'm gonna guess July, Yes, Todd.
Speaker 12 (34:28):
I'm going to reach out or is that being a
past to wait for them.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
To no't just say hey, we're excited to share with
our audience any indication of when that episode is going
to air when we go opposite.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
The Rich Eisen Show. We'll do that, and it's on
a Sunday night, right.
Speaker 12 (34:44):
I believe so, but I'm not sure.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
Yeah, I think I think this is a it's a
big deal that it's a big audience Sunday night, right.
Speaker 8 (34:51):
Marvin Primetime, will ABC.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Yeah, this is a big deal.
Speaker 8 (34:56):
We're part of the big summer lineup.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
I'm glad we did it.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
I did have When we're on stage with Steve Harvey,
I'm thinking, oh, this is not going to be fun.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
This is gonna go oh, you know, and poorly.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
And then I kept thinking that I sort of have
the same feeling when I do this show. But then
I always come back to the same thought content. If
it's really bad, as long as it's funny, that's all
I care about. And Marvin and Fritzy, I thought, we're
really good. They're very entertaining. Let me put it that way.
We celebrate, yes, we do winter lose. We celebrate. But
(35:40):
well we'll find that out and then we'll let you
know when that episode will air. Let's see. So Dereck Henry,
I'll reach out to Sandler and I'll just say, hey,
can you do a video? Say something nice about Derek
Henry And oh, by the way, if he gets two
thousand yards rushing, he's in your next movie. And I
think that's fair. I mean, Sandler, you know, as long
(36:03):
as he lives up to his end of this putting
him in a movie, and he'll do the video, and
then Derrick Henry just has to go out and rush
for two thousand yards.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Yes, yes, Pauline, I just love.
Speaker 5 (36:13):
The idea of after week three, Derrick Henry's got like
one hundred youth four hundred and fifty yards and someone goes,
are you on pace for two thousand and Well, that's
the game plan because the goal is to get into
a Standler movie.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
No, no, it's not. Are you a Pace for two thousand?
Are you on Pace for Sandler?
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Really?
Speaker 3 (36:29):
That's what it should be exactly right. Oh, this is
what I was thinking with Saquon Barkley. You know how
Jordan has his jump Man? Can Saquon Barkley create his
own logo where he is jumping over the player backwards?
Let's say he has merchandise? Could he do the Saquon
his version of the Jumpman? Just you know that's on
(36:52):
the Madden cover. What do you think perfect?
Speaker 5 (36:56):
Is he already known for it? It's already branded.
Speaker 4 (36:59):
The league is gonna hmmm, sorry, I think we own that.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Oh oh yeah, I didn't realize that catchphrases that I
had at ESPN. ESPN owns those that I wasn't allowed
to take those with me. That I guess they owned
intellectual property of everything that we said there. David in Anaheim,
Hi David, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9 (37:22):
Hey?
Speaker 13 (37:23):
Thanks long time listener five seven stop one eighty. Hey
is a is a Steeler fan and a football fan?
Speaker 17 (37:31):
Thanks a lot? What the hell was that?
Speaker 9 (37:33):
Like?
Speaker 3 (37:33):
Derek Hener needs any more motivation to run all over
the NFL?
Speaker 9 (37:39):
True?
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Yeah, I don't know if he needs any motivation there?
What the hell?
Speaker 3 (37:45):
Yeah, sorry about that, David. You know, I didn't think
of others here. I'm just thinking of Derrick Henry. I mean,
you imagine getting nineteen hundred yards and you don't lead
the NFL in rushing undred yards Saquon. Oh, by the way,
is that the greatest season of running back has ever
(38:07):
turned in? If you look at now, not the most yards,
but he won a Super Bowl as well, So if
you factor in now, he what did he have from
a line of scrimmage, like total yards? I don't I
don't know how many yards he had passed reception wise,
because I truly thought they were going to use him
(38:29):
like the Niners do Christian McCaffrey when they got him
in Philadelphia, that he'd be a guy that I would
try to get sixty or seventy catches out of.
Speaker 5 (38:37):
Yes, Paul, Derrick Henry ran for nineteen hundred and twenty
one yards. He had only nineteen catches for one night.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
No Saquon Barkley. I'm sorry, No, Saquon Barkley. He's the
one who had the two thousand yards and then I
don't know how many catches he had, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 8 (38:53):
Turell Davis had two thousand yards anyone the Super Bowl?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Okay, yep Ooh, that's a pretty much a good call.
Good call.
Speaker 5 (39:01):
Yeah, Paul had eighty three total yards last year two
thousand and five rushing and receiving. He had thirty three
catches for two hundred and seventy eight.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
I got to do better than that. He gotta do better.
Speaker 5 (39:14):
His rookie year, he had ninety one reception.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Yeah, that's why I thought that that he would be
a great safety valve for Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
I thought he had a good season. He had a
disappointing season. I mean, the jump was cool, but other
than that, what did he really well?
Speaker 2 (39:28):
He got shut down in the Super Bowl. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (39:30):
Overrating?
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Yeah, step up your game? Yeah, what's wrong with you?
Final results of the poll question how overrated? Sque Wow? Well,
oh my.
Speaker 4 (39:42):
God, this joke, it's we're just kidding. Yeah, she is
a team that will drop off next season. Vikings ran
away with that. Who's off to a worse start? Stefan
Diggs or Bill Belichick? Bill ran away with that one too.
There's a lot of big hangover from uh Jordan gate
this in sports history, Paul, here's just one kind of sad.
(40:03):
Two thousand and three, Sammy Sosa of the Chicago Cubs
broke a bat when he grounded out versus the Tampa
Bay Devil Rays. The bat was corked and exploded all
over the field.
Speaker 5 (40:12):
He said he grabbed the wrong bat that he used
to put on a show during batting practice.
Speaker 9 (40:17):
We believe you, We believe you.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Yes, of course we do. Uh, let me see anything else.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
Josh Gibson in nineteen thirty seven hit a home run
two feet below the rim of Yankee Stadium, five hundred
and eighty feet day, five hundred and eighty feet for
Josh Gibson. All right, let's go around the room. What
you learn on the program, Todd? Would you learn.
Speaker 12 (40:43):
Your best adviser and up and coming sports broadcaster? Do
not put a time frame on success.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
Seaton Derrick Henry has new motivation for this season.
Speaker 8 (40:51):
Marvin Fritzi's highlight in twenty three years was meeting Tim Tebow. Yeah,
I'd come up with that.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
I don't know, but it's a great anniversary, though.
Speaker 5 (41:00):
Paul, we have the Henry Sandler Trecker.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
What did I learn today?
Speaker 12 (41:04):
The last time Derek Henry did a max bench press
one rep, he put up four to three five LB's.
