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

Speaker 2 (00:05):
In this Monday, Dan and the Dana at Stan Patrick
Show come on in. Seaton's on the road headed to Vegas,
and the Mayo Van Dylan's in his seat this week,
Todd's here, Marvin Pauliers truly and.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
The brg's as well.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Rick Neuheisel, the college football analyst for CBS former college coach,
will join us coming up a little bit and we'll
answer the question did Fernando Mendoza win the Heisman this
weekend with the throw against Penn State. Talk to him
about that. Also, have some information about Brian Kelly, the
exit strategy that LSU is trying to pull off with

(00:39):
Brian and paying him off. Also a lot of coaching
rumors right now, the stuff that I heard over the weekend.
I'm thinking that can't happen. There's a lot of openings
and everybody's trying to navigate, and there are a couple
of major players in college football, whether it's a coach

(01:00):
or an agent or an athletic director, and I just
think we're headed for a wild offseason here. So rickle
Join is coming up here. You got a game coming
up tonight, Eagles at the Packers, Eagles on the road,
favored by one and a half eight seven seven three
DP show. We'll get some more phone calls, best and
worst of the weekend, What you saw that you liked,
you didn't like. Good morning if you're watching on Peacock,

(01:22):
that's our streaming partner, and we say good morning to
our radio affiliates around the country. Football started early yesterday
and people missed Jonathan Taylor rushing for two hundred and
forty four yards the overtime win. Had three rushing touchdowns,
so that is now sixty four rushing touchdowns for him,

(01:43):
and now he went up to sixty six touchdowns, so
he passed Marshall Falk for the most rushing touchdowns in
Colts history. So he is going to be the favorite
for the Offensive Player of the Year. I don't think
he's going to win MVP. I think it's because he's
a running back. Although we had Gerald McCoy of the

(02:04):
NFL Network and he said, you don't have that runaway
performance by a quarterback Drake may. I don't think anybody
can tell you his numbers other than he looks really
good and the Patriots are one of the surprise stories
this year. You don't have Lamar Jackson numbers, you don't
have Josh Allen numbers. Matthew Stafford has put up numbers.
But Jonathan Taylor, to me, maybe he could win. He

(02:28):
could win the MVP, but he's probably gonna have to
get over eighteen hundred yards and probably how many touchdowns
he have, like seventeen touchdowns?

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Paulie, he has fifteen so far, He's averaging six yards
of carry. He's projected at this pace to finish with
nineteen hundred and thirty six yards, six yards of carry
and twenty six touchdowns.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
I think if he set the all time record for
a running back, well, was that.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Twenty nine touch touchdowns Priest Holmes, No.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
It was just Seattle John Alexander.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
I think he had twenty nine touchdowns.

Speaker 5 (03:08):
Ladaian Tomlinson was up there too.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yeah, yeah, Paulie.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
Tomlinson broke the record in two thousand and six with
twenty eight rushing touchdowns.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Okay, yeah, I mean if he gets in that territory now,
if he gets two thousand and gets to twenty eight touchdowns.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
I would hope.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
But you know, it's a Quarterback Award it's just like
the Heisman. I mean, we've had two thousand yard rushers
in college football. They're like, okay, but it doesn't matter.
And this year's the same way, you know, Fernando Mendoza
Julian saying, although Jeremiah Love had a couple runs over
the weekend in the rain and slow, and oh my gosh,

(03:52):
he is there's a different you know, there's difference in
quickness and different in speed. All of a sudden you go,
oh my goodness, Like there's just a difference that you
see with certain players. Same with Jonathan Taylor, Like he's
got track speed. When he gets through, he's gone, yes, Marvin.

Speaker 6 (04:11):
So what if the Colts go fifteen and two or
fourteen and three and he's the main reason. Do they
have to have a phenomenal record for him to even
be considered?

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yes, okay, if they would end up with the best
record in the AFCIT Let's say he rushes for twenty
three touchdowns and he rushes for sixteen hundred yards, best
player on the best team, best record, and look, I
advocate for other positions because I think we just lock

(04:39):
in with quarterbacks and we only talk about quarterbacks, and
we kind of forget that the game was built on
running backs. I mean, that's the foundation of the NFL.
They wanted this to be a pass happy league. But
Jonathan Taylor with what he did against the Falcons, that's
very impressive. Not so much for the Steelers, as they

(05:00):
did not look good at all. Mike Tomlin, the Steelers
head coach, had this to say about Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 7 (05:06):
We as an office, a collective, we're off today, and
certainly he's a component of that. I'll let him speak
for himself, but we certainly got to be better. Didn't
feel like they did anything unanticipated, but certainly they outperformed us,
particularly in possession downplay.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
I think Mike Tomlin was asked what did you think
of Aaron Rodgers' performance? And Mike Tomlin said, what did
you think? Like, I don't have any words. It's just,
you know, he didn't look threatening, but nobody did well.
And give credit to the Chargers, and that's a team
decimated by injuries and they played well. But you know,

(05:45):
win those games you're supposed to win those games. Got
them on the road.

Speaker 8 (05:48):
Here.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Let me see what else do I need to get to.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Let me get to Cody and Tennessee Best and Worst
of the weekend, Cody, I'll get to you and then
we'll got a hook up here with Rick Newhish.

Speaker 9 (06:01):
Hey, thanks, Dan. Just want to do instead of best
and worse, I got two best. Obviously, there's a lot
of good football this weekend and Seahawks pulling it out
and that was great. And then can someone check on
Gus Johnson this morning? Him and Joel Klatt calling that
game at the end of Indiana. I've never heard. That's
my favorite six seconds of the football season. I had

(06:23):
to go back and rewind it one check. Did Gus
go to Indiana or did he have a million dollars
in that game? He didn't bull Ladder, but I ye,
if Mark can find that and play that for all
the listeners that weren't able to hear that treat in
real time.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah, we'll see what we can do. I do worry
about Gus sometimes he gets really, really, really excited. But
that was a great finish. I certainly understand that.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
There he is.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Rick new Heisel, former head coach analyst for CBS Sports.
All right, did Fernando Mendoza win.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
The Heisman this weekend? Listen.

Speaker 10 (07:04):
In any other year, I would have said yes, because
that was quite a stage and quite a dramatic finish,
and one that got all kinds of play across the country.
But this year has been so different, with the names
that we're seeing, and with the drama unfolding, with guys
like Diego Pavia who had an overtime thriller in Trinidad, Shambliss,

(07:25):
these names that I think are going to be fun
for voters to vote for going forward. And Julian's saying,
you know, playing Robinhood and splitting apples with the arrow.
I mean, the guy's eighty two percent passer. I don't
remember anything like that, So I don't think we're done yet.
Jeremiah Love, there's another one. There's another one. I mean

(07:46):
that play against Navy where he looks like he's down
and then kind of twist, spins off the pile and
goes forty five yards further for the touchdown. All he
does is just keep scoring touchdowns, and the Notre Dame
machine we have all kinds of respect for, so I
can't count him out either. All right, let's start to
handicap this. Do you have trends now where you go, okay,

(08:08):
this is going to like you can make declarative statements here.
Let's start with the SEC. What do you think happens?
I think the SEC is going to get five. I
think we're to the point where we can say five
teams are going to come out of the SEC. Which
five are still going to be up for grabs. But
I think and I think that Texas, with the schedule

(08:32):
as it lays out with Georgia this week and then
follow the finale with A and M, I think they
might be the one team that can get there with
nine and three. How about the Big Ten? Big ten
is going to have to push to get to the
four number. Right now, I think the top three, the
two undefeated Ohio State and Indiana are in obviously finishing

(08:57):
off what they expected to finish. And then I think
that Oregon, by virtue of that win in Kinnick, is
in obviously pending a big game against SC and they've
got Washington at the end, assuming that they split those,
at worst they're in. The question will be the SC

(09:18):
Michigan thing if SC or Michigan. Obviously SC has the
win over Michigan and they do get Iowa this week
and they get Oregon. Winning both of those games will
make SC a potential ten or eleven seed. Big twelve
looks like they're getting one. Maybe ACC is going to

(09:38):
get one. I think Big twelve has a chance for
two based on Utah starting at thirteen because I think
Utah is playing good football. The fact that Texas Tech
won that game was great for Brett Yormark. Had Texas
Tech taken a loss, I think it would have been one.
ACC for sure is one.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Talking to Rick new Heisl, CBS Sports college football analyst four,
former college football head coach, a lot of rumors out there,
always a lot of rumors.

Speaker 10 (10:07):
Well, how about Lane Kiffin having Florida come to town legally,
you think there's going to be a twenty four hour security.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
Around his What do you think Lane does?

Speaker 10 (10:23):
I think he stays, you know, the sec based on
the paradigm we've got right now where you just kind
of pay. There's really no advantage any longer to have
the blue blood reputation as long as you've got the
Greenbacks in your pocket. And Ole Miss has proven and
shown Lane that they'll go out and do what he

(10:43):
thinks is necessary. He's got the acumen and the energy
to go out and recruit guys like Trinidad Shambliss and
go and check on him rather than just reading it
off the film.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
So I think he stays.

Speaker 10 (10:55):
You know, he's saying how happy he is, and he's
got a chance to prove it.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
I was talking to somebody who said, get ready for
chaos this offseason with the college coaches. Now, I don't
know what chaos, how you would define that. Yeah, but
he says that coaches that you don't think would move,
or athletic directors who you don't think would move their coach,
things are going to happen.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (11:20):
I think we're at a point of affordability. I think
if Lincoln Riley, for instance, wanted to go back to Texas,
if there was a place in Texas that he could
go and get a great number, I think he'd leave
Los Angeles. And I think the Trojans would be happy
to say that's okay, because it's expensive to have a
guy that's making you know, eight figures as your coach.

(11:43):
I think that we have the Jedfish at Washington. I
think we'll have his eye opened. That doesn't mean that
he doesn't like Washington. I think he's just looking around
that lost to Wisconsin. Hurt that cause there's some other
guys out there that I think are going to at
least test the waters, like Jeff Brohm at Louisville. Yeah,

(12:06):
he and Clark Lee and Eli Drinkwitz all have not
inked anything.

Speaker 8 (12:12):
You know.

Speaker 10 (12:13):
The Sexton clients are going to use this leverage to
kind of ruse and see what makes sense to them. Obviously,
Brent Key at Georgia Tech has already said, cut me open.
You see what I bleed. That's kind of given us
a tip that he wants to stay. But maybe a
little early in the negotiation to be saying such a thing.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Yeah, but I can't remember when we had all of
these openings during his season. Yeah, everybody think everybody thinks
of this? Well, I think so, because everybody's trying to
get to the head of the class. Because we've got
an early signing date coming up on one of these
early Wednesdays in December, We've got a transfer portal and

(12:54):
now we've only got one transfer portal and that's going
to start January tewod through the sixteenth. So all these
teams that are kind of trying to position themselves for
the CFP. Those coaches are going to be late to
the dance if they get another job, which is going
to be really chaos. This is why most of the
athletic directors wanted the one transfer portal to be at

(13:15):
the end of April. But all the coaches.

Speaker 10 (13:17):
Want to know who's going to be on my team
so I can build for the entirety of the year.
Were bass awkward, as they say in this business, and
it spends for some time. If that's been the case.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
How would you feel if you were the opposing coach
when USC swaps out their punter with a different jersey number.

Speaker 10 (13:36):
Thinking that this might be a topic of conversation with you,
I read from the hymnal. Otherwise, the NCAA rule book
the following are considered unethical practices changing numbers during a
game to deceive an opponent. Now, to be fair to Lincoln,
he did this before the game. But the Big ten
is saying you can't have two guys at the same

(13:57):
position wearing the same number. And so now this is
going to be like Dan Lanning last year putting the
twelfth guy on the field against Ohio State. This is
going to be a rule change. It may be within
the week that will get.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
The rule change.

Speaker 10 (14:12):
But some would call that clever, some would call that
a dirty, dirty trick. I pat David Brown on the
back for making no such claim. Good to talk to
you as always, always a treat, my friend. Good games
they remember are played in November. You owe me a
song here soon? Oh, next time, next time, I'll have something. Yeah,

(14:34):
how about yeah before Christmas? The games in November are
the ones we remember. There you go, something just sultry
like that.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah, thank you, Bud. You got a pole, Rick new Isil. Yeah,
we haven't had a song from Rick in a while.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
Marvin.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
While I was interviewing Rick, you went and found the
Gus Johnson sound the game winning touchdown?

Speaker 3 (14:57):
Does ap up it out?

Speaker 2 (15:17):
See we can laugh at that a little bit when
you're in the moment and you're calling a game and
it's back and forth. The importance that that might be
the biggest play in college football so far this year,
when you realize what was at stake there, and to
stay in the national title picture, to be able to
go toe to toe with Ohio State and uh, you know,

(15:37):
Penn State was going to eventually show you that they
still do have a lot of talent. Even though James
Franklin got fired. They've lost their quarterback as well, and
they gave Indiana an incredible match, you know, a test.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
Yeah, Pauline, I still go back to it's still so
surreal to see where Indiana football is. If Penn State
held on, the headline would be would be Penn State upset.
That's number two Indiana at home. If I told you
that twenty years ago that that would ever be a headline, it's.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Surreal even five years ago, three years ago. Now, the
pressure's on Indiana basketball. Oh by the way, Marvin, you
were watching a little Indiana basketball yesterday.

Speaker 6 (16:16):
I was like, man, the football school Indiana they played
basketball too, and man, look at them. But it's got
to be pressure because it's like, way, wait, Indiana footballs
is good. The Indiana brass is like our basketball step
it up.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
How about we take a break here, We'll come back.
More phone calls as well. Got a little college football
news for you, the Brian Kelly situation at LSU. We
will address that after this.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
I asked Fritzy reach out to Jeff Passing does a
wonderful job covering baseball their MLB insider. I know he's
busy because they have the I think the GM meetings
in Las Vegas. But you also have a controversy here
with a pair of pitchers with the Guardians and they
could be headed to prison. Jeff Passing kind enough to

(17:38):
join us. Jeff, thanks for joining us. Bring us up
to speed. Can you explain the situation with the Guardians pitchers.

Speaker 11 (17:46):
Yeah, it's not great, Dan, and this is really the
intersection of gambling and sports and where it allegedly can
go wrong, and indictment was unsealed yesterday by the Eastern
District of New York, which at the same US Attorney's
office that indicted Damon Jones and Terry Rozier and others

(18:11):
involved in a separate alleged gambling scheme. In this case,
Luis Ortiz, a Cleveland Guardians pitcher, and Emmanuel Classe, who
is widely regarded as one of the best closers in
Major League Baseball, three time All Star, two time Mariano
rivera reliever of the Year in the American League, allegedly
conspired with betters to place proposition bets on individual pitches. So,

(18:38):
for example, you can bet whether a single pitch is
going to be a ball or a strike, and they
would get together, according to prosecutors beforehand, and say, this
pitch in this inning is going to be a ball.
And what would happen is, you know, ten thousand or

(18:58):
so dollars would be wagered. Times it was more, sometimes
it was less. This allegedly happened a significant number of times,
up to the point where the government alleges that more
than four hundred thousand dollars was made on Emmanuel Classe's pitches. Alone,
and then this is something that's going back down allegedly

(19:21):
to May of twenty twenty three. Ortiz came in, according
to prosecutors, joined the scheme this year and on June
fifteenth through a ball then was paid five thousand dollars
to do so, and Classe got five thousand dollars for
facilitating it. On June twenty seventh, did that one more

(19:43):
time and the payment was seven thousand dollars. Now, Ortiz's
attorney came out and said he is completely innocent of
all charges. Plasse's attorney was not quite as vociferous, but
said essentially, we will have our day in core and.

Speaker 12 (20:01):
The whole thing.

Speaker 11 (20:03):
It's just really interesting to me, Dan that I'm in
Las Vegas right now for a Major League Baseball event
when this is happening, and it shows the way that
gambling has infiltrated professional sports, and you really do wonder
can the toothpaste be put back in the tube or
is this the new norm?

Speaker 3 (20:24):
They don't cap prop bit.

Speaker 11 (20:28):
I think it just depends on where you're doing the gambling.
And the reason that this was caught in the first
place is because they're betting integrity firms out there that
tracked this sort of thing, and they saw that Louis
Ortiz had a pretty significant amount of money placed on
one of his pitches.

Speaker 12 (20:47):
And now that's interesting.

Speaker 11 (20:49):
You know, with Class A, I suppose it's a little
bit different, because he's as good as he is, he's
as well known as he is. With or Teas a
little bit different who you know, nobody knows who Luis
or Teas is.

Speaker 12 (21:04):
And so it happens a second time.

Speaker 11 (21:07):
And once it happened the second time, the betting integrity
firms flagged the books and Major League Baseball was informed,
and almost immediately, both or Teas and class were placed
on non disciplinary paid leave and have been gone from
The Guardian since July. And you know, regardless of how

(21:28):
this turns out in court, the notion that they are
going to be back pitching at any point in Major
League Baseball seems unlikely.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
And I've mentioned this before that you'll have guys who
are on the proof free. They live in a vacuum
because they're probably thinking nobody's going to be tracking this.
You know, I'm nobody. I can throw this pitch, my
my buddies can make some money. I get a little
kickback here just like John Tey Porter with the Raptors.
He's a no name play and hey, I got an

(22:02):
over under and I'm gonna be under. I'm gonna take
myself out of the game. Terry Rogier. That's the problem.
It's not star players, it's the guys who don't think
anybody's watching.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
But Vegas has to watch.

Speaker 11 (22:18):
Of course, Vegas has to watch, and frankly, all of
us as sports fans, should be apoplectic about this. Games
are only as good as they are believable. And the
second that you start chipping away at the idea that
what we're watching is real, what we're watching is on

(22:41):
the up and up. What's the point of watching sports
if you don't feel like there's real competition. And it's
so interesting to me that it's almost taken gambling to
remind us of this point.

Speaker 12 (22:56):
Why people were.

Speaker 11 (22:57):
So angry about the Houston Astros is because the expectation
of fair play of both sides doing this the right way.
And I don't think I even need to use air
quotes for that. There is a right way and there
is a wrong way, and what the Astros did was wrong.

Speaker 12 (23:14):
And even though Emmanuel.

Speaker 11 (23:16):
Classe and Luis Ortiz, if they did this, could say, hey,
it's just one ball, I can get back into the count.
Class A in twenty twenty four had one of the
best relief seasons in Major League history. Even though all
of those things are true, it's just the fact that

(23:37):
if this exists at one point, is it not a
slippery slope.

Speaker 12 (23:41):
Hey, you know I threw one ball. I can come
back from a two to zero count.

Speaker 11 (23:45):
Or if it's the third pitch in it bat and
the guy is down two, I can waste a pitch.

Speaker 12 (23:52):
I can waste two pitches.

Speaker 11 (23:54):
And then you get to the point Dan where it's like,
if you open the door to that, then you're just
inviting more and more and more.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
Talking to Jeff Passing, ESPN Senior Baseball Insider, what's the
spicy topic there in Vegas?

Speaker 11 (24:14):
Oh boy, well, it's the Major League Baseball off season,
So spiciness. Uh, it's it's muted, Like we don't have
a ton of spice going.

Speaker 13 (24:22):
OK.

Speaker 12 (24:23):
We need some more, We need some more flavor to
the off season.

Speaker 11 (24:25):
I don't anticipate there's going to be any big free
agent signings this week. I don't think that, frankly, we're
going to have a big trade go down this week
is more about just feeling out what the market is
going to look like. And because MLB does not have
a salary cap, that's off season is accordingly slow. Teams
you know, they are able to maneuver around and respond

(24:49):
to the market and don't feel like they have to
go out and spend all this money early on to
take up their cap space. And it's one of the
things I appreciate about baseball, like it's it's an actual
market and it operates that way without those sorts of restrictions.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
You got a couple of Japanese players who I think
are being posted. Is it just a pipeline to the
Dodgers if they want them?

Speaker 11 (25:13):
They don't anticipate that this offseason because if you look
at now, I think it's twofold number one. If you
look at what the Dodgers need. Of course they could
always use another starting pitcher, but among the four that
they had starting for them this postseason with Yoshinobu Yamamoto,
Blake Snell, Tyler Glass, Awan, Shohyo Tommy, you add to

(25:35):
that two more guys on their roster, Justin Rableski and
Roki Sasaki, who are starting pitchers, and you throw Gavin
Stone and River Ryan coming back from major arm surgeries
in there. The Dodgers have pitching depth, like real pitching depth,
frankly from which they can trade and more comedy.

Speaker 12 (25:54):
They just signed or they just picked up Max Monsey's option.

Speaker 11 (25:57):
Now that that does not keep them from pursuing Lunatako Morikami,
who is a massive power left handed hitter, hit fifty
six home runs in a season twenty two years old
and has a chance just an enormous ceiling. But between
him and Tatsuya m I, who's a right hander who's

(26:18):
about Yamamoto size and has that kind of high octane fastball,
really good command and good off speed stuff as well.

Speaker 14 (26:26):
I think the bigger thing dan other teams want Japanese
players to other teams understand there's enormous talent to be
minded in Japan and you're not going to get those
top end guys in the future if you haven't illustrated
in the past that you're a landing spot for Japanese players,

(26:48):
that you are friendly to the Japanese culture, that you
understand the mindset of Japanese players coming over.

Speaker 12 (26:55):
The Dodgers.

Speaker 11 (26:56):
One of the best things that they did was corner
the market in Japan and say we want everyone in
Japan to be wearing Dodger blue. It was brilliant, not
just in a baseball sense, but in a financial sense
as well. And I think all the other teams around
the league are like, well, you know, if you can't
beat them and join us, behave there in Vegas. Jeff, okay,

(27:18):
I make no promises, then.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
You already look guilty. Thank you, bun. That's Jeff Passon
joining us from Vegas. The GM meetings there, Yeah, I
was wondering what the topic is going to be. But
there are a couple of Japanese players and their rights
have been posted there. But maybe the Dodgers going, no,
we're good.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
We like what we have.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
I mentioned some college football information here, and let me
give you what I've found out about Brian Kelly. So
Kelly is owed the amount based on his contracts provisions
that he receives ninety percent of his pay as he
was fired without cause. Under the contract, monthly payments will

(28:06):
be made through the year twenty thirty one. Now they
Brian Kelly and his representatives, they were initially given twenty
five million dollars. That was the former ad at LSU,
Scott Woodward. They were going to negotiate a twenty five
million dollar settlement with Kelly. Woodward then got fired or

(28:28):
left four days later, and then LSU said all right,
we'll give Brian Kelly thirty million dollars. He rejected both
of those and now they got to figure this out here.
They hoped to resolve the issue by this afternoon. So
you got that going on. Then college football news, there's

(28:51):
a lot of rumors out there, and I want to
be careful by not spreading a rumor, you know, opinions.
Jeff Brahm at Louisville, I was told is the top
choice at Penn State.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
By my source.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
The situation at USC is fluid. It feels like because
you have somebody who hired Kaylan de Boor at Washington,
she's now at USC. Maybe their speculation of a bigger
picture of Kaylan de boor Lincoln Riley may be leaving USC.

(29:26):
So once again, this is just somebody's opinion on Penn
State's leading candidate. And Bram has done a really good
job at Louisville, and that's been mentioned before that he
would be one of the top two candidates. It looks
like the situation, you know, does Texas Tech change, does
somebody take a bigger job? The LSU situation, Florida situation,

(29:50):
you know. So there's a lot of things going on here.
And that's why I was told, you got a couple
of people who are basically controlling the monopo boord in
college football and who is going where, and it's ads,
its presidents, its agents, and of course the coaches themselves.

(30:11):
But I was told, if you thought the regular season
was chaos with all these firings, wait till the offseason.
Once again, that's somebody's opinion on what could happen. All right,
we'll take a break, Last call for phone calls, What
we learned? What's in store tomorrow? We'll do that right
after this.

Last call for phone calls, What we learn, What's in
store tomorrow? Football coming up tonight, Eagles at the Packers.
The Eagles favored by one and a half segue, and

(30:51):
Depauli says he has a Monday Night football bet.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (30:55):
If you remember in the off season, it was the
Packers that proposed banning the push.

Speaker 8 (31:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:01):
Does Nick Sirianni get a little cute, a little snarky,
a little payback over under four point five tush.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
Pushes in the game tonight? Wow? Who wants a piece
of that? Marvin? I'll start with you. You're a tush pusher,
I mean.

Speaker 4 (31:17):
And he doesn't even play football under.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
Okay, I'm going under. Dylan.

Speaker 5 (31:24):
I would also go under, but maybe a fake toush
push who really throw.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
Them off, Okay, so that the formation doesn't count as
a tush push complete the process. Yes, Todd, I'm going under. Yeah,
I think I'll do under as well. But I I
don't know if Sirianni gets cute to get cute. I
think it's just that's part of their playbook.

Speaker 4 (31:46):
Yeah, Pauling, I'm going over, and I'm going early next.
Sirianni is not a a guy who forgets grudges.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Well, it'd be silly if he's gonna go We're gonna
rub it in over your Matt Lafleur and the Packers
I would just win the game.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
Just win the game.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
You get a couple of Toush pushes, enjoy while it's here,
because I don't think it's here next year.

Speaker 5 (32:08):
Yes, Dylan, Uh, we have to make sure there's you know,
integrity with this bet stuff. They're running the Toush push
on like second and nine, we'll know Polly got to
them for the over.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
Who exactly would you have gotten to Dylan? His contact
Big Big Dom, Big Big Dom allegedly Big Dump. All right, Uh,
I think we're having a meet Tuesday tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (32:33):
What I think.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
I because the people from Heartland Steak are coming in now?
Do they want their steak? If they're coming in on
the road to the man Cave? Because I said to Dylan,
shouldn't we make something different for them?

Speaker 8 (32:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (32:49):
Like do they want sushi instead of steak that they
eat all the time?

Speaker 3 (32:53):
But I think they do, Yeah, but they have steak
all the time. Yes, Toun.

Speaker 6 (32:58):
There's a lot like a cannibalism kind of thing from
a sponsor staple your own.

Speaker 12 (33:01):
It seems a little weird, but I'll eat steak every day.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Okay, Well, I think we'll have a meat Tuesday tomorrow.
I saw those Tomahawks steaks out there defrosting.

Speaker 5 (33:11):
They looked at we got Tomahawks and porter houses.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Wow, no nobody, no buddies. The final results of the
pole question, Dylan, all.

Speaker 5 (33:23):
Right, Dan, it was the last pole question was worst
weekend Bills, Jaguars, Panthers or Steelers. The Bills running away
with that one at sixty five and a half percent.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
Okay, that was it was more than a loss. It
was like, wow, they weren't the like the Dolphins were
the better team. You know, sometimes you have a loss
and you go, we were the better team, but you
know what breaks went their way?

Speaker 5 (33:46):
That was? Was it like sixteen to three? I'm going hello,
and the Bills were still slightly favored hello sixty three?

Speaker 3 (33:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (33:55):
Yeah, Poul, I text you guys group, you know, with
eight minutes to go, I said, I'm still picking the
Bills to win this the next play, Josh.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
And then Pauly goes, nevermind, as you were because and
then you said at one point the Bills were favored
to win that game according to Vegas.

Speaker 3 (34:15):
Yeah, they they.

Speaker 5 (34:16):
Were down at sixteen to three. They were either like
plus like one oh five or slightly like minus one
oh five.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
Well, yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
Yeah, Mark in Indianapolis, Hey Mark, thanks for holding the
best and worst of the weekend.

Speaker 15 (34:32):
Hey Dan, My best is the Lions and turning over
the play calling to the head coach.

Speaker 13 (34:38):
There.

Speaker 15 (34:38):
Dan, it just seemed like last year's Lions like unstoppable.
I wish they would have done it a couple of
games before. And the worst what is the Pacers. I
don't know what's going on. It's it's essentially the same
team without Haliburton, and they're like literally the worst team
in the league. So it's kind of shocking they're that bad.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
Yeah, big difference though when you're watching.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
Yeah, Paul, Yeah, I don't think I noticed this.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
The Pacers are one and nine.

Speaker 8 (35:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
Wow, not good?

Speaker 9 (35:07):
Not good.

Speaker 5 (35:09):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (35:09):
Let's see Adam in La Hi, Adam, welcome back.

Speaker 8 (35:13):
Happy Monday, Dan Dennetts. I hope your weekend was great.
I have a best and worst of the weekend. Worst
being the Pittsburgh Steelers and Aaron Rodgers Sunday night performance. Wow,
that was really bad. I've got a funny worst real quick.
The Rams new place kicker yesterday, Harrison Leavis aka is
known as best sicker kicker who looked thicker than a
snicker in his uniform yesterday, so check that out if

(35:35):
you ever seen it. Also, a best of the weekend,
of course, is my Los Angeles Rams going up to
No Cow beating the Niners convincingly, bringing me to my
stat of the day, which is correct. So checking this time.
Damn I Tequila hangovers war off. Matthew Stafford became yesterday
the first quarterback in NFL history with three consecutive games
of four passing touchdowns and zero interceptions. You're the best TV.

Speaker 3 (35:55):
You have a great week, Thank you, Adam. You're right.

Speaker 14 (36:00):
Stead of the day Stanta Dayata Day, Stantata Day.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
This is the stule.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
Of the day, out of the day, brought to you
by Penni America, the official trading cards of this program.
Brad in North Carolina, Hi Brad. Best and worst of
the weekend.

Speaker 13 (36:22):
Hey what up, DP, I've got a best investor. My
best of the weekend was meaningful basketball in November with
Carolina handily taking care of Kansas. Caleb Williams gonna be
a lot of fun.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
For us this year.

Speaker 13 (36:35):
My bester is just that uh that series. Hopefully they
can keep the home and home going. Those Cayes first
trip to Chapel Hill to just the lineage of the
programs they just it goes all the way back to
doctor Natesmith, to doctor Allen de Dean Smith, Larry Brown,
all the way to early Williams. So I think those
two really need to continue that home and home.

Speaker 8 (36:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
I watched it and Kansas was up comfortably I think
at halftime maybe by eight nine points, and then North
Carolina came back. It's gonna take me a little while
to get into college basketball.

Speaker 8 (37:06):
Here.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
I'm flipping through and I see Indiana basketball. I'm like,
all right, I watch a little bit of this, and
that's what I did. I watched a little bit of that.
Can't get there yet, Yes, Pauling.

Speaker 4 (37:20):
By the way, Tar Hill football two wins in a row,
eating Syracuse almost Bowl eligible.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
Belichick. Yeah, Duke's Mayo bawl. Hello this day in sports history, paul.

Speaker 4 (37:34):
I got a bunch for you, Dan. Nineteen twenty eight,
Newt's Rockney did the win one for a Gipper speech
at halftime and a tied game between Notre Dame and Army.
Spoiler they won. Nineteen forty, the Steelers and the Eagles
played in a penalty free NFL game nineteen fifty seven,
one hundred and three thousand people attended a Niners RAMS game.
Biggest crowd in NFL history still is the Phoenix Suns

(37:58):
nineteen ninety scored one hundred and seven points in the
first half against the Nuggets one seventy three one forty three.
In nineteen ninety six, Dan Marino of the Dolphins became
the first quarterback in NFL history to pass for more
than fifty thousand yards.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
Backup quarterback Frank Reich in nineteen eighty four led Maryland
on six consecutive scoring drives as Maryland. Maryland was down
thirty one to nothing to the U They ended up
winning forty two forty. Frank Reich involved in two of
the greatest comebacks in football history, one when he was
in the NFL with Buffalo against the Oilers, and then

(38:37):
the one in college with Maryland against the U but
down thirty one to nothing and ended up coming back
to win at forty two to forty. I don't know
what they were down, So that was his Super Bowl year.
Kelly was injured, frank Reich came in and they were
down big against the Houston Oilers and they ended up
winning that game and they went to another suit.

Speaker 3 (39:00):
Does that sound right, Marvin?

Speaker 6 (39:01):
Yeah, they were down maybe like thirty five to three.
It was something ridiculous. Yeah, like a divisional playoff game.

Speaker 4 (39:09):
They were down twenty eight to three at half. Oh,
Boilers Bills, January third, nineteen ninety three.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
I love those Oilers man. That Ernest Givens I think
was one of the wide receivers.

Speaker 6 (39:22):
Yeah, Marv Spencer, Haywood, Heywood, Jeffries, Heywood, Jeffres, Jeffres. Not
my Haywood's mixed up.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Yeah, you got one basketball and one one football there,
Heywood Jeffries.

Speaker 3 (39:35):

Speaker 2 (39:36):

And uh, Warren Moon the quarterback. Yeah, Pauli also on
that team.

Speaker 4 (39:44):
Lorenzo White the running ball, Michigan State, Webster Slaughter on

cold on to me.

Okay, well, I like that you're fighting through it.

Speaker 9 (40:29):

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
