War Sean Salisbury on Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
We're gonna welcome in Dan Patrick to the show.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yeah, Dan Patrick's show, Hall of Famer legend, you know
does it all and award winning Dan Patrick? And you
know he used to Dan you started your career? Where'd
you spinning records? In Cincinnati?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Where'd you start? Didn't you start as a DJ?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Ind at the University of Dayton. I had my own
show ten to one at night. Therefore I did miss
my classes, my eight o'clock class, my my senior year.
I think I went first day, mid term final. We'red
I got a D minus. Yeah, you passed it, though
I did. I did pass it, and I would spend
(00:49):
records at night. Loved it. So Bill love music more
than anything you do.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
And I mean do you have like I mean you
hit the post a lot. We've talked about that. I mean,
I mean, can you are Is it too early in
the morning to ask you to give me one like
the weather and who's you know who?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
The cuts playing?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Is?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Is it too early to ask you? Because people don't
get to see enough of that from you. I've seen
it and heard it. I'd like to know if you
could give me one to the post.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I don't know if I could, because if you're a
hockey player, you don't want to hit the post. But
as as a DJ, you want to hit the post.
I think I would need music and to be ready
for that right that.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Next time we have you on, we'll do it. We'll
have a producer play a little music. We'll get you
in and out so you can hit that post fair enough.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Okay, this is what you do. Next time, you'll play
earth Wind and Fire and you'll play the song September,
and then I'll talk up to the vocals there I'll
hit the post with them.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Dan Patrick joins, he's got his own show that he's
got to get to and kind enough to spend time
with us. Dan all to talk about this super Bowl.
Number one reason you're intrigued with.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
It because I look at Jay Hurts what it means
and Nick Steririani what it means to them to kind
of get into the position of Okay, now you're legitimate.
Now you're one of the best quarterbacks. Now you're actually
one of the better coaches. Andy Reid, Now you're getting
closer to Belichick. We keep talking about Mahomes getting closer
(02:18):
to Tom Brady, Andy Reid's getting closer, and he's more likely
to get closer to Belichick and Don Shula as the
all time leader in victories, and I don't think we
focus on him enough. But with Patrick Mahomes, now I
think he gets into a different category. Yes, it is
Tom Brady, but it's also to me, Michael Jordan and
(02:40):
Tiger Woods. It's just a different type of dominance of
you're winning three in a row, something that's never been done.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Do you think do you think that Patrick Mahomes has
passed Joe Montana for second on the goat list right now?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
I would say yes. It's almost like we've forget about Joe,
which is but we forgot about Terry Bradshaw. I mean,
we've forgotten about quarterbacks that did you know they won
super Bowls? That's the ultimate grade at the bottom line
is how many super Bowls. It's not a fair grade
because if you said I could have Dan Marino, I'd
(03:17):
take Dan Marino. He didn't win any Super Bowls, but
he changed the game. I think you know Elway got
blamed because he lost three super Bowls and then he
won two didn't get credit. Really it was Terrell Davis.
So you know, we're very fickle in how we hand
out credit when it comes to these things. But winning
a Super Bowl, Mahomes, I think the way he plays
(03:39):
is what separates him even from Brady. If you said
at the peak of Brady and the peak of Mahomes,
Mahomes plays the position better, in my opinion, doesn't mean
he's a better quarterback. He plays it better. He plays
it differently than anybody else, And people forget Joe like
he was the ultimate when your nickname is Joe cool, right,
(04:01):
that's I mean at that position and winning. But I
you know, I feel bad that we kind of just
blew right by Joe Now it's just it's Mahomes and Brady.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Dan Patrick Dan Patrick Show joins us longtime friend here
on Sports Talk seven ninety Sean Salisbury Show. Dan who
has the biggest challenge player or coach in this game?
On whether it's a unit or a group of players.
You know, I said Steve Spagnolo and his ability to
stop the home run from Berkley. Do you see it different?
What's the biggest challenge of the game for either side?
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I think it's Nick Sirianni trying to prove that he
can match coaching withs with Andy Reid, because this is
where I don't care who wins. But I learned a
long time ago, don't bet against the better coach quarterback
combination with Tom Brady and really you go back to
Jimmy Johnson and Troy Yek, when you go back to
(04:55):
Bill Walsh and Joe Montana, like you have those combinations.
This is where it matter the most. Obviously, you know,
Nick Sirianni kept his job, They fired their coordinators, and
we don't even know what his relationship is with Jalen Hurts.
We don't even know what he really does during the game.
Andy Reid is there as the offensive coordinator with Patrick Mahomes,
(05:17):
so trying to match wits with him in a crunch
time situation. That's because this is where the Chiefs they
always win. And that has to come back to Andy
and what you see with Patrick Mahomes, this is what
I want to see with Sirianni and Jalen Hurts with
the game on the line, can they outperform out coach
(05:38):
the Chiefs? Dan?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Is it disrespectful during this talk and kind of at
the very at the last handful of games of the season,
disrespectful to the Chiefs that it feels like we spend
more time talking about the ref's impact on a game
and on the Chiefs than we do how good they've been.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Well. I don't think there's any denying that there have
been called that are favorable to the Chiefs. But sometimes
you make your own breaks sometimes, you know, the analogy
I've made is when Wade Boggs took a pitch the
umpire thought of as a ball, or Rod Carue or
Tony Gwynn, you got those. If Greg Maddox threw a
(06:17):
pitch around the plate, you got the call. Michael Jordan
if he missed, something must have happened. He must have
gotten found. It's not fair. You would think the guys
who need the calls would get calls. But you're giving
the better people better players. But I do think they
know how to use the system. Now, I don't blame them,
I blame the system. Plus, all of their games are
(06:40):
on National TV Sean. Every single game is a Marquee game.
You see every single one of their games. It's not
like a one o'clock game that they're playing, you know,
against Carolina. They're always playing, and they're playing in front
of everybody, so you see everything. You see Kelsey, you
see Taylor Swift, you see Patrick Mahomes, Mahomes' wife, and
(07:00):
so that's why people get chiefed out. It's not their fault.
I just don't want people ten years from now to
look back and go, well, you know, they were pretty special,
because we tend to do that. You hate the Cowboys
until you look back and go, well, that was a
damn impressive run. And I think that's what people are
going to do with the Chiefs. You'll look back and
(07:22):
you're going to probably say to yourself, even though you
didn't like them, you're going to respect them even more.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Mortgage is on the line. Who you're picking in the game.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Always the Chiefs with.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Mahomes always, no matter who the opponent is right always
and Andy and the ability to make plays when there's
nothing there.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
But they win one score games. Yep, that's that's not
a coincidence. That's my design, no matter how they win it.
And look, they become a defensive minded team since a
couple of years ago. You know, they run the football,
it's ball controlled. They don't hit home runs, anymore. You know,
they've gone from being you know, somebody Aaron Judge to
somebody who's you know, bat three forty eight and you know,
(08:05):
hit seven homers, but is always going to get on
base and score and be part of, you know, a
winning team. You know, it's Aaron Judge to each row.
And so I don't think we look at them as
a dominating team because they don't score points the way
you know they once did. But that defense is so
good and you know you're they do it, and it's
(08:26):
spread out and they plug and play like the Patriots
US too. It'd be like, I don't care who it is,
we have the common denominator coaching quarterback. Now, just build
around that. And we took Tom for granted that he
would somehow make that guy better and win a big game.
And Belichick would somehow come up with guys on defense,
and they would you know, design, you know, design a
(08:47):
defense to take away your best players. That's what Kansas
City is doing. It's the blueprint. Same thing.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Yeah, and Spagnola has proven that he's as good a
big game defensive coordinator we've ever had Dan Patrick for
a few more minutes, and Dan's unique with you because
not only to get the interview the best you know
on your show, but you love it as a sports fan.
So let me shift a little bit with your gig.
In all the years you've been doing it, what what's
the best part of your job?
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I think being allowed to be curious to whether we
discuss something on the show, or it's a guest you
have on and you're curious about something. It's like when
Adam Silver, the NBA commissioner, came on last week and
I was just curious, like, what are the crazy things
that come across to your desk? And when he said, well,
(09:33):
here's one, and then he said, how about you know
four quarters ten minutes each quarter in instead of forty
eight minutes. No, it's forty minutes. So by just asking
the question, now he could have swatted it away, but
he did. He did engage with me and allow me
to go into his office, you know, figuratively, to see
(09:53):
something that he's considering. And so that I love. I
love that. You know, we have Joe Burrow on today.
When did you know you had this confidence you know
you can ask those questions. Bryce Young is on today.
I get what point did you realize that you knew
how to play the game, or the game was different
to you. Those are the fun things that you get
(10:15):
to be curious in a setting like this. It's live
TV and radio, and you know it's something that it's
as close as I can get to playing the game,
because you know, there the element of you're on a
tightrope a little bit. You're asking questions and it's you
can't blink. The camera doesn't blink.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
And I love that.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
I love that when it's three hours, it's live, let's go,
and at the end of the day you feel like
you played in a game.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
All right. When you broke in and we talked about,
you know, when you were spending records in DJ and
and to now in this long, illustrious career, what's the
best media And I don't mean who, but what's the
best media change or maybe one you don't like over
the last forty years in your mind.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Well, I'm going to sound the like they get off
my lawne guy, but I think journalistic principles have declined
rapidly and will continue to do so. Everybody has this source,
everybody's an insider, uh, and that's not the case. Plus,
you know, what are we saying what are we allowed
to say not allowed to say? It just feels like
(11:22):
the lines are so blurred right now, and I worry
about that that it's it's sloppy, and I can't speak
for everybody. I can't speak for what we do on
this show, and that is make sure you get it right.
You know, we're not here to sprain news. We're here
to break news, and if you don't have it, you
don't have it, and don't I'm not one of those
(11:44):
people who, hey, there's a story that came up, Hey,
do you know anything about that. Yeah, I got a
source who told you either have a source that you don't.
But we throw that out, probably more so than any
other statement in sport. That source is close to me,
and I have sources on some things, and there are
other things where I go, I don't know anybody in
(12:05):
that organization because I don't think you know, you have
to be honest with your audience, and that that does
concern me as we move forward that I don't know
if it really matters, and maybe it doesn't matter to
the audience, but it does to me.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Well, Dan with that, and obviously with like Nick Saban,
the nil and transfer portal war on him and now
he's doing a hell of a job as a broadcaster.
But it probably pushed him out prematurely. I think that's
pretty obvious. Would this the way it's gone about journalistic integrity,
would it force you to leave sooner than you wanted
in this business?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Oh? No, No, because I'm in the content business, right
So if there's upheaval, if there's controversy, like, I don't
have to negotiate with an eighteen year old who wants
to transfer to me at my age.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
You've maybe enough over our careers.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Brother, Yeah, I'm not taking a producer who's coming through
the NIL portal. And you know, Pauli's here. If he
decides to leave and go, you know in the transfer portal,
that's good for him. But you know Nick Saban had
to deal with this, and you know he got tired.
Jay Wright at Villanova, there's a lot of coaches that
just said coach K like, I don't want to do
this anymore. And I get it. I just I think
(13:14):
you've got to be young, and you got to be
you got to be on your game with this because
it's constant, constant, and but you know, the upheaval in
college football. I think it needed it because it was
under that student athlete umbrella, and now it's everything's out
in the open. What are you making? Who's paying it
(13:35):
to you? Do I want to stay? Do I want
to go? I think it will eventually settle. But these
are all these chancellors and presidents and athletic directors and coaches,
and they all missed all of this. It happened so quickly.
It's like now they're trying to clean up the mess
after the elephant in the circus.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Do you still watch the game as a fan with
the same passion you did twenty five years ago? Any
game college football, NFL basketball, is it's the same passion
and interest for you.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Well, I don't watch as a fan because I don't
root for anybody. But I think I'm watching probably the
same way I have the last thirty years. I think
it's more of an analytical eye of what are they doing,
how are they doing it? And then I'm always thinking,
how does this work on our show? If you bring
this up, the guests that you're going to have, who
(14:24):
compliments this. I think it's more of formulaic that you're
watching building to tomorrow of what you're talking about, or
the next day or next week whatever that is. But
I think that's the important part of And look, do
I miss that the high and low of your team
one and that low of your team got, you know,
(14:44):
like the Lions. I missed that pain. I miss that high,
that euphoric high you get when your team wins or
when your team loses. I don't have anything. I'm not
invested in anything.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
All right, let me let's leave you on this.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Do you do you have a time clock for how
long we get to continue to watch it?
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Is?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
I know you had mentioned a couple of years ago
you said maybe at a certain date five years. Does
that change every year or is it just going to
be a wake up and say this is the this
is my going away year.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
How long are we going to have you do this?
Speaker 3 (15:14):
It'll be December twenty fourth, twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
That's a guarantee ball game for sure.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
I'm John Elway walking off the field.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
You are are we gonna get you?
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Like?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Are we gonna get your rocky chairs? Is it like
do we get to get the gift thing on him?
Send you on to you know, on the circuit the
last year. You are literally on December twenty fourth or
twenty twenty seven, you're done, bingo.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
I'm done. Yes, you can send your gifts to the
man cave.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I've come.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
What even I am the gift? I'm coming in person.
Will it be well? I guess you're not gonna announce
where you're gonna do it from. I know your show,
so that is it. I get twenty four all right,
I know you got your own show. I love you man,
see you buddy, all right, see it bye. He's got
to go. That's what happened. When he's got to go
do his own show. He's December twenty fourth, on twenty
(16:05):
twenty seven, Dan Patrick's done.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
You heard it right there.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
But he said it before, but I had to follow
up make sure he wouldn't, you know, just getting us
to give him all the going away gifts. We'll come
back and discuss Sports Talk seven ninety rolls on
Let the celebration start.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
War Sean Salisbury on Sports Talk seven ninety.

a coincidence. That's my design, no matter how they win it.
And look, they become a defensive minded team since a
couple of years ago. You know, they run the football,
it's ball controlled. They don't hit home runs, anymore. You know,
they've gone from being you know, somebody Aaron Judge to
somebody who's you know, bat three forty eight and you know,
(08:05):
hit seven homers, but is always going to get on
base and score and be part of, you know, a
winning team. You know, it's Aaron Judge to each row.
And so I don't think we look at them as
a dominating team because they don't score points the way
you know they once did. But that defense is so
good and you know you're they do it, and it's
(08:26):
spread out and they plug and play like the Patriots
US too. It'd be like, I don't care who it is,
we have the common denominator coaching quarterback. Now, just build
around that. And we took Tom for granted that he
would somehow make that guy better and win a big game.
And Belichick would somehow come up with guys on defense,
and they would you know, design, you know, design a
(08:47):
defense to take away your best players. That's what Kansas
City is doing. It's the blueprint. Same thing.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Yeah, and Spagnola has proven that he's as good a
big game defensive coordinator we've ever had Dan Patrick for
a few more minutes, and Dan's unique with you because
not only to get the interview the best you know
on your show, but you love it as a sports fan.
So let me shift a little bit with your gig.
In all the years you've been doing it, what what's
the best part of your job?
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I think being allowed to be curious to whether we
discuss something on the show, or it's a guest you
have on and you're curious about something. It's like when
Adam Silver, the NBA commissioner, came on last week and
I was just curious, like, what are the crazy things
that come across to your desk? And when he said, well,
(09:33):
here's one, and then he said, how about you know
four quarters ten minutes each quarter in instead of forty
eight minutes. No, it's forty minutes. So by just asking
the question, now he could have swatted it away, but
he did. He did engage with me and allow me
to go into his office, you know, figuratively, to see
(09:53):
something that he's considering. And so that I love. I
love that. You know, we have Joe Burrow on today.
When did you know you had this confidence you know
you can ask those questions. Bryce Young is on today.
I get what point did you realize that you knew
how to play the game, or the game was different
to you. Those are the fun things that you get
(10:15):
to be curious in a setting like this. It's live
TV and radio, and you know it's something that it's
as close as I can get to playing the game,
because you know, there the element of you're on a
tightrope a little bit. You're asking questions and it's you
can't blink. The camera doesn't blink.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
And I love that.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
I love that when it's three hours, it's live, let's go,
and at the end of the day you feel like
you played in a game.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
All right. When you broke in and we talked about,
you know, when you were spending records in DJ and
and to now in this long, illustrious career, what's the
best media And I don't mean who, but what's the
best media change or maybe one you don't like over
the last forty years in your mind.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Well, I'm going to sound the like they get off
my lawne guy, but I think journalistic principles have declined
rapidly and will continue to do so. Everybody has this source,
everybody's an insider, uh, and that's not the case. Plus,
you know, what are we saying what are we allowed
to say not allowed to say? It just feels like
(11:22):
the lines are so blurred right now, and I worry
about that that it's it's sloppy, and I can't speak
for everybody. I can't speak for what we do on
this show, and that is make sure you get it right.
You know, we're not here to sprain news. We're here
to break news, and if you don't have it, you
don't have it, and don't I'm not one of those
(11:44):
people who, hey, there's a story that came up, Hey,
do you know anything about that. Yeah, I got a
source who told you either have a source that you don't.
But we throw that out, probably more so than any
other statement in sport. That source is close to me,
and I have sources on some things, and there are
other things where I go, I don't know anybody in
(12:05):
that organization because I don't think you know, you have
to be honest with your audience, and that that does
concern me as we move forward that I don't know
if it really matters, and maybe it doesn't matter to
the audience, but it does to me.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Well, Dan with that, and obviously with like Nick Saban,
the nil and transfer portal war on him and now
he's doing a hell of a job as a broadcaster.
But it probably pushed him out prematurely. I think that's
pretty obvious. Would this the way it's gone about journalistic integrity,
would it force you to leave sooner than you wanted
in this business?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Oh? No, No, because I'm in the content business, right
So if there's upheaval, if there's controversy, like, I don't
have to negotiate with an eighteen year old who wants
to transfer to me at my age.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
You've maybe enough over our careers.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Brother, Yeah, I'm not taking a producer who's coming through
the NIL portal. And you know, Pauli's here. If he
decides to leave and go, you know in the transfer portal,
that's good for him. But you know Nick Saban had
to deal with this, and you know he got tired.
Jay Wright at Villanova, there's a lot of coaches that
just said coach K like, I don't want to do
this anymore. And I get it. I just I think
(13:14):
you've got to be young, and you got to be
you got to be on your game with this because
it's constant, constant, and but you know, the upheaval in
college football. I think it needed it because it was
under that student athlete umbrella, and now it's everything's out
in the open. What are you making? Who's paying it
(13:35):
to you? Do I want to stay? Do I want
to go? I think it will eventually settle. But these
are all these chancellors and presidents and athletic directors and coaches,
and they all missed all of this. It happened so quickly.
It's like now they're trying to clean up the mess
after the elephant in the circus.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Do you still watch the game as a fan with
the same passion you did twenty five years ago? Any
game college football, NFL basketball, is it's the same passion
and interest for you.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Well, I don't watch as a fan because I don't
root for anybody. But I think I'm watching probably the
same way I have the last thirty years. I think
it's more of an analytical eye of what are they doing,
how are they doing it? And then I'm always thinking,
how does this work on our show? If you bring
this up, the guests that you're going to have, who
(14:24):
compliments this. I think it's more of formulaic that you're
watching building to tomorrow of what you're talking about, or
the next day or next week whatever that is. But
I think that's the important part of And look, do
I miss that the high and low of your team
one and that low of your team got, you know,
(14:44):
like the Lions. I missed that pain. I miss that high,
that euphoric high you get when your team wins or
when your team loses. I don't have anything. I'm not
invested in anything.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
All right, let me let's leave you on this.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Do you do you have a time clock for how
long we get to continue to watch it?
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Is?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
I know you had mentioned a couple of years ago
you said maybe at a certain date five years. Does
that change every year or is it just going to
be a wake up and say this is the this
is my going away year.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
How long are we going to have you do this?
Speaker 3 (15:14):
It'll be December twenty fourth, twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
That's a guarantee ball game for sure.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
I'm John Elway walking off the field.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
You are are we gonna get you?
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Like?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Are we gonna get your rocky chairs? Is it like
do we get to get the gift thing on him?
Send you on to you know, on the circuit the
last year. You are literally on December twenty fourth or
twenty twenty seven, you're done, bingo.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
I'm done. Yes, you can send your gifts to the
man cave.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I've come.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
What even I am the gift? I'm coming in person.
Will it be well? I guess you're not gonna announce
where you're gonna do it from. I know your show,
so that is it. I get twenty four all right,
I know you got your own show. I love you man,
see you buddy, all right, see it bye. He's got
to go. That's what happened. When he's got to go
do his own show. He's December twenty fourth, on twenty
(16:05):
twenty seven, Dan Patrick's done.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
You heard it right there.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
But he said it before, but I had to follow
up make sure he wouldn't, you know, just getting us
to give him all the going away gifts. We'll come
back and discuss Sports Talk seven ninety rolls on
