Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final hour on this Wednesday, we'll hear from Pat McAfee
coming up here in a moment. Stat of the Day
brought to you by panadi America, the official trading cards
of the program. Experience the Olympics like you've never seen
them before, Primetime in Paris tonight, NBC and Peacock. Speaking
of the Olympics, Team USA got a scare last time
(00:25):
they faced South Sudan. They were forty five point favorites
Team USA. You guys want to take a guess how
much Team USA are they favored?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Now?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
They are favored now, jackab just a little humor there,
Little little humor there, Marvin. I'll start with you, Team
USA favored by how many over South Sudan? Later today?
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Thirteen and a half?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
All right, Paulie twenty nine and a half, Todd eighteen
and a half, Seaton nineteen and one a half, twenty eighth,
twenty eight Serbia favored by seventeen over Puerto Rico. In
case you re wonder, all right, pull results and then
pull question for the final hour of this program that if.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
You won the silver medal, you would be gracious and
thankful or salty and unsatisfied. That is at seventy three percent,
would be gracious and thankful. That's nice, just nice. I
do feel like part of me might be like there's
that part where it's like, hey, you made it. That's
good enough. Right, you got to the Olympics. That's good enough,
(01:34):
and you've got a silver medal. That's amazing.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
No, but it's like when you're up for an award,
let's say a Sports Emmy. Hey, you made it, you
got there, and then when you get there and then
you don't win, how did we all feel?
Speaker 5 (01:47):
The worst? Terrible stinks.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
So it's not oh, you made it into the big
building there and then all of a sudden they go
and the winner is MLB tonight, And you're like.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
I wonder if though, there's something about your competing in
that last moment in the Olympics. Yeah, it's like one
last race and you're like, dang, second place.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Depends on what the expectations were. If you were favored
to win a gold and you win a silver, I'd
be a little frosty. Yes, Todd, I'm just kind of creative.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
What if we did four years of shows and you know,
you don't even come in the top three of sports
talk shows or something like that.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
That would be frustrating.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
And that just four years of shows and you just
don't even come away with anything.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Why would you say that to McAfee's never been nominated
and he's joining us, Why would you that's on the horizon. Well, mean,
that's terrible, Pat, I'm sorry, I mean.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
It's on the horizon.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah, it's on the horizon. Pat, I apologize for my people.
Thanks for joining us here.
Speaker 7 (02:49):
Hey, it's an honor Dan, honestly, and to be clear,
you need in your show has been a trailblazer in
this world. Your show with the big old brains at
the have should be acknowledged by the Sports Emmys people,
but they won't because the Sports Emmys people are dumb,
which is why I until you in one, we're not
even entering. We don't even enter our show. So we
(03:12):
haven't even entered our show. We won't until you get
one at least, and then hopefully we'll still exist sometime
after that, and if we decide to enter into the
Sports Emmys world and play their little game, hopefully we'll
be able to take one.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Help you know, well, thank you. Thank you for that support.
If you were like Summer Olympics, what kind of sport
could we see you in?
Speaker 7 (03:34):
So this morning, six am our guy jaw Jaj last
name from California who committed his entire life to table tennis.
Pretty much, he's the furthest that we've ever had in
American men's single advance into the Olympics. Just made to
the round of sixteen. I consider myself a pretty good
table tennis player. I can ping pong with the best
of them in a garage, couple beers, maybe some edabos,
(03:55):
maybe some smoke what you name it.
Speaker 8 (03:57):
But I think that would be I think that would
be this.
Speaker 7 (04:00):
I would want to get into the most definitely not
the poop river swimming one, but the other ones.
Speaker 8 (04:05):
I would just love to represent the United States with America.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I could see you Rugby like I think you're sneaky athletic.
Speaker 7 (04:11):
Well thanks, thanks, ye. I was a professional athlete, of undefeated,
of WrestleMania, you know, all those types of things. Not
as athletic as you, but but yeah, Rugby, I would
want to be like Spiff Cedric, the girl that took
that thing ninety five yards yesterday for the big time
win that we kicked the extra point and we end
up beating the hell out Australia for the bronze medal.
It would be cool to be that I'm not tough enough,
though we all know that not tough enough for that.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
But I've watched the show. You start the show, You're
you're red, white and blue man, You're all over these Olympics.
You got it right now, Yeah, you got your USA
Red White and Blue shirt on there.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Don't you think we need it?
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Then?
Speaker 8 (04:44):
Like I think I think we need it.
Speaker 7 (04:46):
And I appreciate the fact that it does feel that
people from all walks of life support all of these sports.
You know, once these sports and competitions come every four years, you.
Speaker 8 (04:55):
Get introduced to a brand new group.
Speaker 7 (04:56):
And with the swim qualification trials happening here in Indianapolis
at Lucas Oil, I got a chance to go into
the swimming community for like a night and watch out
goes the amount of passion, the amount of like everything
that they have for their sport, for the country, for everything.
It's just like it's a beautiful thing. And I like
to be gross grotesquely obnoxious about America being better than
(05:17):
everybody else, and we've been able to have the opportunity
to do that for the last few Olympics, and it's great.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
If I said you could have Michael phelps career tom
Brady's career.
Speaker 7 (05:28):
Well, I've had a hole in my ear drum for
like two decades. So keep me out of the water.
You know, I'll keep me out of the water. Give
me seven Super Bowls, give me a chance to be
a Hall of Famer for not only the NFL and
for New England probably Tampa Bay's Hall of Fame. And
then if I was Tom Brady and I had his career,
(05:48):
I would never sign up for a Netflix roast. So
that's just kind of the one little change that I
would make. But give me Tom Brady. Even though I
love Michael Phelps. He was literally on our show yesterday.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Okay, why did Tom sign for that abuse?
Speaker 7 (06:02):
I think it was probably a pretty hefty check from
what I've had told, you know, from I think we've
all heard about it, the amount of money that was
potentially given. And then I think his production company too,
probably has a couple more deals with Netflix cooking there,
And I genuinely don't think he knew how talented the
brains are that are in the stand up comedy world
at this current time. I think that's what was on
(06:22):
display during those roasts. I mean, obviously, kill Tony is
something that happens every single week where they just roast everybody,
and then you start thinking about Nicky Glazer, what she
was able to do. Andrew Schultz, like this group of
comedians right now that is kind of leading us into
the next wave of comedy. And Shane Gillis wasn't even there.
I would I mean, that would have been the perfect
human to put in there. But like this new group,
their brains are too good. And I think that roast
(06:43):
was obviously spectacular for us to watch, but it was
too good. We'll never get another one, at least until
the next generation forgets how strong the comedians' brains are.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I think personal Were you asked to take part in
that roast?
Speaker 8 (06:55):
Oh, I was not not at all.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Would you have done it?
Speaker 8 (06:58):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:58):
No, no, no, no no no. I don't like that.
Speaker 8 (07:01):
I don't like that. I don't want I don't want.
I get roasted enough.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
You know, I already get roasted enough in my life
in day to day, and I don't know how you've
done this for as long as you've done in the
sports world, because I assume everybody has respect for you
as they should.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
There's a lot of respect for me amongst other people
that are in the sports world, sports journalist world.
Speaker 8 (07:18):
So I get roasted a lot on a regular basis.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
So I wouldn't sign up for something to go sit
on a stage to get absolutely roasted by everybody.
Speaker 8 (07:25):
That would be a difficult decision. I'd rather good vibes.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
But I am certainly wanted to watch the drama like
I will watch the Real Housewives of Orange County, but
I did not want to be in the Real Housewives
of Orange County, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Talking to Pat McAfee, one of the reasons why well,
the reason why we want to have you on of course,
you were an iconic kicker, punter, kickoffs. Now we have
the official rules that came out. They're kind of like, oh,
by the way, here are the official rules the if
you have to be a losing team in the game
and it has to be a fourth quarter and you
(07:57):
have to announce it. Your thoughts on that.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
Yeah, I think the on side kick was something that
was very special to football for a very long time.
At any moment in the fourth quarter or if your
team was behind, there was a glimmer of hope that
a kicker was going to be able to hit a
perfect ball and then the guys on the kickoff team
were gonna be able to make some miraculous play and
then oh, yeah, we got this thing that has like
a two percent chance of success rate. But then also
(08:23):
our quarterback's going to have to go now another sixty
yards somehow against the defense that they haven't been able
to do it all game, which is why we're behind.
Speaker 8 (08:29):
So it was like there was always a glimmer of hope.
Speaker 7 (08:31):
There was always something that you could hold at the
end of the game and maybe get your team back
into it. But with the new rules that came with
the kickoff, with an elite run up and the amount
of players where they have to be, you can't overload,
you have to keep the they kind of eliminated it
from the game by themselves. So the fact now that
we'll never see a surprise on sidekick again. As a bummer,
I was on the field whenever Thomas Morse had hit
(08:52):
the ambush at halftime. The Super Bowl, obviously the biggest
surprise on sidekick in the history of the sport. They
would go on to win a Super Bowl and and honestly,
that was a wild night, incredible kick by Thomas.
Speaker 9 (09:03):
Who was you did you?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Could you sense it at the time? Being a kicker
watching a kicker like a pitcher has tells, you know,
with a with a pitch like could you sense anything
that was happening?
Speaker 7 (09:16):
His little run up was interesting, you know because like
I did some surprise on side kicks in our run
with the Indianapolis Colts as well, and it was always
cool to get that call, you know, because anytime you're
doing one of those, if you fail, you're giving the
ball to the other team in very very favorable position,
and field position is literally what you're getting paid for
when you're a punter and a kickoff guy. So I
(09:37):
think you could see in his run up a little
bit it might have been a little bit different. But
Thomas Morse, to the guy that did that, actually taught
me how to punt going into the NFL. So he
and I very tight, like very close friends. So whenever
I see him pull that off, it's like I'm pumped
for him.
Speaker 8 (09:50):
But also this sucks. Super Bowl at the age of
twenty two.
Speaker 7 (09:54):
So it's like the surprise on side kick was a
beautiful thing, and it used to be something that a
lot of kickers take, took a lot of prime Like
Sebastian Janikowski, he used to be able to hit a
high hop off, especially over in the coliseum whenever they
played on that baseball dirt. He used to be able
to hit a ball off of the grounds tow it
which hurts you're groin, hit flexer and your tow You
got to really sacrifice a lot.
Speaker 8 (10:15):
Hit that thing right in the ground.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
It would bounce up through like to the third floor
almost and then come down they would be able to
get the jumper. Mason whenever he was at the Packers,
had a great one. It was like something that a
lot of people worked on, and it was something you
took a lot of pride in because if you had
the opportunity to do it, you're.
Speaker 8 (10:30):
Actually affecting the game. It's a turnover.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
You're changing the game completely at the kicker position, which
you can't always do. At the punter position you can't
always do. So it became something that guys started working
on less and less and less, and then with the
way the rules changed, it seemingly just kind of worked
itself out. But now with the new kickoff rules, that's
going to be weird to look at. I think with
the landing zone and where the team's gonna be, where
the kicker's going to be.
Speaker 8 (10:49):
Obviously the XFL had it.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
The XFL doesn't have forty nine million eyes on it
whenever they're having games. It's a little bit different, so
I think people are gonna have to get used to that.
But they're trying to keep it in the game. They're
trying to evolutionize it all. But the on side kick
I think has been sacrificing compromise for a few years
now and now it's officially out, which is a bummer.
Speaker 8 (11:05):
I'm not happy about it at all.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Could you call an audible and do an on side
kick when you were with the Colts.
Speaker 8 (11:11):
Yeah, so the one I hit to myself against the
Houston Texans was not called.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
I mean that.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
That was all me. And if I don't get that,
I just get up and just walk right out of
that statement. You know that is that's on Thursday night football.
But the reason why that happened is because we get
a surprise on sidekick to the left earlier in the season.
We hit a surprise on side kick to the right
earlier in the season, So teams started putting their hands
teams up against us for every single kickoff, and that
actually became the case study that NFL used for the
(11:40):
iteration of the kickoff. That it was where you had
ten per eight people up within twenty yards of the
ball because we faced the hands team for every single kickoff.
Speaker 8 (11:48):
So like I had the highest touchback.
Speaker 7 (11:50):
Percentage like maybe in the history of the NFL, because
teams couldn't set up a return. So I would hit
that thing like one yard in the end zone, they
would have to take a knee because their hands team
was in there because they didn't want to get hit
by surprise on side. So I'm just stealing stats here,
you know, I'm loving everything about it. I don't have
anywhere near the talent of everybody else. But we're looking
out but they're on the right, they're on the left.
The middle was wide open, as you can see in
the thing. So yeah, I just I gave a little
(12:12):
hamstring tap to my guys, basically said stay out of there,
hit it to myself. It worked out and most athletic
thing I've ever done in my entire life. But if
I don't get that, Chuck Plegono says, get your just
gout quit, you know, hang up the helmet, hang up
to Jersey.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
How does the new expansion in playoffs in college football
not work?
Speaker 8 (12:29):
Duh?
Speaker 7 (12:30):
The only way it doesn't work is, I mean, there's
gonna be like the thirteenth team is going to be
debated now, you know. Like obviously, Florida State last year
was incredibly pissed because they didn't make it in they
had their.
Speaker 8 (12:40):
Third string quarterback.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
I don't think anybody with a sane mind outside of
Florida State thought that a third string quarterback should lead
a team into a fourteen playoff. And I think what
the college football playoff last year was fantastic. If I
was a Florida State player, Florida State family member, Florida
State alumni, I would have been mad as well.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Like I'm not happy.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
I understand why they were mad, but I think as
a college football fan, that was the right decision.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Now it's going to be.
Speaker 7 (13:00):
The thirteenth team that's going to get discussed, and there's
going to be a Power five school that's going to
get in over somebody.
Speaker 8 (13:05):
That had a great year that's going to tie.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
So I think the only way it doesn't work is
what the drama it's going to come from, who gets in,
who doesn't get in.
Speaker 8 (13:13):
But for me, home field playoff game is going to
be absurd.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
College football is something that I've been baptized into here
over the last couple of years with College game Day,
the pageantry, the tradition, the fans, the environment, like everything
that is college football. Obviously on the field, it's amazing.
So now we're getting to see it in a very
important game, in a big game. I think that's going
to beautiful. I think this is going to be the
biggest and best college football season of all time. And
(13:36):
I know there's a lot of college football people, old
heads that aren't necessarily happy about that because the world
is changing quickly in front of our eyes and we
don't want to lose Saturday football and turn it into
Sunday football. But this year, I think he's going to beautiful.
I think it's going to be a stone into the
new direction of college football is going, and it's going
to be great. That's how I feel personally.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah, I think Saturdays is kind of leaking into Sunday, though, Pat,
I think we're going to get there. I think they're
just going to take the NFL model, and you might
have forty teams, forty schools and maybe there you know, divisions,
you have an AFC NFC type, you're gonna pay them
revenue sharing, and you're basically gonna, you know, do what
they do, have playoffs and then have a Super Bowl.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
It's interesting, Dan, because like in theory, that would make
sense too, And I think we've kind of batted around
the ball a little bit on how it's good, how
it would work, how wouldn't work. Chip Kelly came on
our show whenever he was still the head coach at UCLA,
and he kind of laid it out. He was like,
the NFL has this right, And I pitched this a
few different times. You obviously just have divisions and conferences.
You can separate it by this, we all go under
one roof and then all of a sudden, we have
(14:38):
more leverage with TV, we have more.
Speaker 8 (14:40):
This, YadA, YadA, YadA YadA.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
But it's like, how do they how do they institute that,
you know, like the NFL works, because obviously it's been
around a long time, one hundred plus years. But like
Roger Goodell is the person and now obviously he's working
for ownership, but at least there's one person that is
kind of at blame or at fault or to credit
for things that are happening, and that's it. He gets
paid very well to do that for college, to get
(15:02):
all the deans, the presidents, the athletic directors, the coaches
all to get on the same page, which is why
we are in a transition era that I don't know
how long it's gonna last, because in theory we all
have answers, but how do they get instituted. I have
no idea, Like, you're gonna need some very important people,
smart people, some people that can sway people, business people
like and also sports people.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Greg Sank Greg Sank, I would just say, Greg, here
you go. He could be even better than Goodell, and
then I would just kind of put it in his lap.
You want to have, you know, co with Tony Petiti
with the big ten. Okay, but it feels like there's
a top heavy college football talent base and then there's
(15:44):
other ones that are stragglers. But can you imagine relegation?
Pat how great would that be that all of a sudden,
North Dakota State is playing, Vanderbilt goes down, Northwestern gets
kicked out. You know, be fun. I don't even know
if those would even get in, but I think you
could have some real fun with that relegation last day,
(16:05):
last game you're watching, You're going to nobody cares about
this game until you care about this game.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Yeah. The only issue with that is Danny.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
You know this because you've had to deal with suits,
I assume for a long long time.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
The presidents of.
Speaker 7 (16:18):
These schools, you know, who have pretty good says is like, hey,
there's a chance next year you guys aren't going to
be in the big ten in your rev Instead of
like eighty million TV deal, you're going to get like
six million next year. And it's like, oh, we're building
a new building because we remember.
Speaker 8 (16:32):
We have to do it.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
So it's just like college ball is awesome, college passion
and loyalty is fantastic. It's like we need to keep that,
need to evolve, need the players to make money, don't
need them to get screwed over. And these nil deals
where they're not paying them out, but who's going to
be in control Sankie would be awesome. I love that man.
I think what he's remember COVID came around, No man,
(16:53):
Big ten said, we're not playing pac twelve said we're
not playing IVY League, so we're not playing. Greg Sankie
got a podium and said, we're playing football in the SEC.
I don't even know what we're talking about. He stood
in the fire, has numerous times, has led the SEC.
Obviously feels good about it. But that's a massive task
for him take on to save the entire country. But
hopefully he'll do it. Because, uh, I agree with you.
There's a lot of opportunity with the great sport of
(17:15):
college football.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
You got to pace yourself, pace yourself this fall. Okay,
are you going to Dublin? Oh?
Speaker 7 (17:22):
Yeah, taking the show to Dublin. We're actually taking our
show to Dublin. I do believe we're in We're in
talks right now with a pub in Dublin to take
our show on Friday over there before Georgia Tech and
Florida State on Saturday on ABC.
Speaker 8 (17:34):
That's gonna be quite a start. And I'm a little worried.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
You're talking about pacing yourself once there's Ginna you know
those guinnesses started.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
I really, I don't know if that's the plural for
a Guinness or.
Speaker 8 (17:44):
Not, but fun, funky, you want to start flowing over there?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
No, no, no, you're good because you're later in the afternoon.
We went over there last year for the Notre Dame
Navy game and our show started too in the afternoon,
and we brought Will Farrell over. We rented out a
pub we were able to sleep in. I mean it's
it's it's dangerously accessible, let's put it that way. So
(18:09):
I would have your guys sign a waiver and you know,
maybe there's a blood alcohol content that you measure each
day when they come in.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
See, I'm a little bit worse because if we start
doing that in Dublin, then we got to start doing
a year too. And uh, you know, a couple of
my guys much better when theer boost.
Speaker 8 (18:26):
Yeah, it's a long season, though, Dan.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
I think my guys have been playing this two K
College football NCAA twenty five game and one of their
big takeaways is like, hey, these are long seasons, Like
this season is long now with the twelve team playoff
and with what it's going to become with the big ten,
the SEC. What they're going to talk about conference play
and everything. If somebody goes undefeated, now, it's gonna be
(18:49):
like the greatest feat in the history.
Speaker 8 (18:51):
Like it's long.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
Yeah, long seasons on a big time matchups, new rivalries
should be a blast, but yeah, long year.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
It's gonna be a long season, long season.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Thank you, Bud. Baby's good.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
Hey, McKenzie's awesome. She just had to check up this morning. Uh,
seventieth percent out for everything. She loves to eat boys,
she loves it. She got my taste buds. That's not
fantastic news. But mom's good. Baby's good. Life is good.
Speaker 8 (19:11):
How are you guys?
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Great?
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Everything's good? Every Day's the super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Hey, you're damn right, Dan, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Every Day?
Speaker 8 (19:19):
Is Fritz's first name?
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Todd?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Todd? Yeah, Tod, jeez, I don't.
Speaker 8 (19:26):
Have his number saved.
Speaker 7 (19:26):
I get a text in any big one, Hey would
like to see you here, and it says Todd, and
I'm like, I don't know Todd.
Speaker 8 (19:31):
So then Paula text me. Paul texts me, He's like, hey,
you come on.
Speaker 7 (19:36):
And then all of a sudden, I get a text
from Todd again, and I'm like oh, and I google it,
I go, Fritz's name's Todd.
Speaker 8 (19:42):
That's on me. I want to let Todd know that
I apologize.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Feel free to block that number if he went wow,
I thought I.
Speaker 8 (19:50):
Blocked it already. That's why when I don't know who
it was, you know, but I appreciate you having me on.
You're the best. You guys are the best in that anything. Honestly,
I know in.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
The way you all came up, which I assume is
through like journalism, score everything, you know, like that whole thing.
I understand that you guys will hold that in high
regard and you certainly own one. But don't play these
puppets games. Okay, you guys have won enough Emmys in
all of our eyes. Don't worry about MLB tonight. Taking
one away from the Dan Patrick Show, your legends, we
appreciate the hell out of you, and thanks for having

their sport and all the interesting interactions along the way.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Always good to talk to. Pat mcavee very complimentary of
this show and how he's patterned his show, or at
least loosely based off of this show. So thank you.
Eight seven to seven three DP show. I'll get phone
calls here. In the final half hour of the program,
update the poll results. We still have to finish Pauli's
Quick Olympic Quiz. Oh yeah, it just went a little longer,
(21:47):
so there's no quick to the Olympic Quiz sort of
like instant replay. It's just called replay, all right, do
you want to do a recap here? And then we'll
get the update on the poll results.
Speaker 12 (21:59):
Paul Marvin got question one minimum depth of Olympic diving
pool fifteen feet.
Speaker 9 (22:04):
Dan, you got question two correct?
Speaker 12 (22:06):
Why do you divers sit in a hot tub after
a dive to keep their muscles warm to prevent crampingay?
Speaker 9 (22:11):
Question number three?
Speaker 12 (22:13):
What is the height slash distance of the highest Olympic
diving platform either meters or feet either?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Guess Todd? You go first the high dive.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
I'm going to say three hundred feet. That would be
one hundred yards. Beat you fun, I'm gonna kind of
change that.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
No, no, no, no, so three hundred feet.
Speaker 12 (22:36):
It's not Acapulco and the cliff diving thing three hundred
feet puckapool code.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yes. Who did better at pronouncing something? McAfee saying Toad
or PAULI with a before it's the same, Tod, Yeah,
uh Seaton.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
I'm going to say sixty feet all right, Marvin, twenty
five feet, I'll do thirty feet.
Speaker 12 (23:09):
Thirty feet is correct. Another point for Dan, thirty feet
is the high diving platform. I just had one x
to zero zero bonus question gave me. This is from
the swimming people to break the tide. Oftentimes you see
swimmers splash water on themselves right before they start a race.
There are two reasons they may do so, can anyone
(23:30):
get one of two reasons?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (23:33):
To so their body can get adjusted to the water
so they're not getting that first burst of wetness and cold.
Speaker 9 (23:39):
That is correct.
Speaker 12 (23:40):
It prevents the body to have a shock reaction that
swimmers do not like before getting into the water.
Speaker 9 (23:45):
That's why they splash themselves with the water.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (23:47):
The other answer is.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
I think it makes them faster when they enter the water.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Okay, Marvin, what seat in said? I think they know
they just look hot when they have some water glistening
off of them looking hot.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Reason three.
Speaker 12 (24:01):
I would like to give that to you, but I can't.
They said it helps adhere the suit to your body. Yeah,
they're not bubbles or gaps.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Saying when it adheres you look hotter. Half a point yes,
you are also faster.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Therefore I got you the.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Other half point half yes. Okay, update the poll results.
That's your quick Olympic quiz. That took a little longer
than it needed to.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
All right, well done, Okay, if you won silver medal,
our audience would be gracious and thankful. Twenty seven percent
would be salty and unsatisfied. Those are the ru wins.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yes they are.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
It's tough to say that, you know, second place is
just the first loser. Can't really not in the Olympics, right,
silver medal is like a major accomplishment.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
It just depends on what the expectations. Because once again,
if Michael Phelps won a silver, then that's a disappointment.
The women's rugby team wins a bronze, that's the greatest
medal that we've ever won, the only medal that we've
ever won. If you guys are going to be in
(25:01):
the gallery of Happy Gilmore too. We got to work
on this because I did reach out to Sandler. I said,
is Happy Gilmore to the working title? He said, yes,
it is. He didn't say anything else about me, saying
that we're going to start shooting in September in New
Jersey and that I play myself. I guess I'm the
golf host and then I'll probably have an analyst with me. Yes, Marvin,
(25:26):
you were going to say it.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Was actually a soccer question for Steton. Oh, if the
soccer team in the Olympics, if they medal, well, this
start kind of a debate on who should be the
World Cup team going into the next World Cup.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
M maybe like a couple of positions, but for the
most part now okay, probably not. Maybe like a couple
of guys here and there.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
But I have the over under a. DJ Moore got
paid by the Bears, and that usually doesn't happen to
wide receivers. But he got paid, and uh, I have
over unders here. I don't think they're thinking that it's
going to be a great year for DJ Moore. According
to DraftKings over under the number of catches for GJ
(26:10):
Moore with Caleb Williams Marvin.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Eighty seven and a half, Paul seventy four and a half,
godd seventy one.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
And a half, Seaton sixty five, sixty six and a half.
That doesn't sound good. No, He's going to spread the
wealth around, is what Caleb's going to do. All those
weapons and only one ball over under touchdowns DJ Moore
with the Bears, Paul start with you five and a half, Marvin.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Six and a half.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Bloop bloop, bloop, rigged. That's it. You got sixty six
and a half catches and six point five touchdowns. Wow,
is that a successful I don't think so, not for
a guy making that kind of money. I guess for
Bears receivers. But you know the bar is not very
high there. So DJ Moore getting paid a lot of
(27:08):
money and they're not expecting big numbers there for him.
They also have these player props like who will have
more passing yards? So Dak versus c J. Stroud Mm hmm,
it's a tie, tie tie tie minus one ten versus
(27:33):
minus one ten. Jordan Love versus Aaron Rodgers Marvin.
Speaker 8 (27:43):
Jordan Love.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Yes, Jordan Love favored over Aaron Rodgers minus one thirty five,
Aaron Rodgers plus one oh five. Jared Goff, Matthew Stafford,
Paul Stafford favorite god golf.
Speaker 9 (28:03):
Because it's Stafford.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Three hundred meters Jared Goff minus won twenty Matthew Stafford
one oh five. How about that? Just some some over
unders there with DraftKings and.
Speaker 6 (28:20):
Say three dred meters are three hundred feet, but that's
still one hundred yards.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
That's pretty high up to jump the lend of a
football field. Yes, that's kind of crazy.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I don't know if you got to duck when you
got up there to the roof.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
It was a stupid guest. This is no way to
color that in the other way.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
But were you listening, because sometimes you just say stupid things.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
It was.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
I was just I was thinking diving.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
And you gotta climb up all those steps, and I
mean it's like that's got to be like three.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Hundred feet up in the air. Uh my boy. Bobby
Witt Junior the Third did it again. He's got twelve
game hitting streak and White Sox lost again. Bobby went
in the month of July is hitting four eighty three.
The last time you had somebody this good in a
(29:04):
calendar month, you have to go back to July of
two thousand and six. This player batted five hundred. His
ops was one thousand and five fifty nine. A fellow infielder,
Bobby Witt Junior the Third is a short stum Marvin No, wow, wow, Okay,
(29:32):
give you credit. Paul Robinson Cano, don't you know? No,
that's fine, Todd, I don't know. Yeck, you have no name.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
I'm gonna go Bregman.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Only because he's on the Astros. Like you don't know
any baseball players anymore. Yeah, and that doesn't help us. Seaton.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
I don't know any of that, but I do you
know that the statue of Liberty is three hundred and
five feet tall.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
So you would be jumping off the statue, would.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
Be jumping off the top of the Statue of Liberty.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
I'll be impressive.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
That would be impressive. That's a hell of a jump.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
And where did we get the statue of liberty from
those friends?
Speaker 3 (30:15):
A statue of Liberty as a torch? See the whole
thing there.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Chipper Jones, Chipper Jones July of two thousand and six
batted five hundred and zops was one five hundred and
fifty nine. Yes, Paul.
Speaker 9 (30:30):
By the way, in two thousand and six, Alex Spragman
was eleven years old.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
It was eleven day, Statu eleven.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Not two Gooday Scatta day.
Speaker 8 (30:43):
This is the stat of the Day.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Stat of the Day, brought to you by Panini America,
the official trading parts of the program. By the way,
I was talking about Mike Trout and being loyal, and
I mentioned Kevin Garnett being loyal to Minnesota. Well, on
this date in two thousand and seven that Kevin Garnett
got traded to the Boston Celtics. How about who the
(31:08):
Boston Celtics gave up Al Jefferson, Ryan Gomes, Gerald Green,
Theo Ratliffe, Sebastian Telfair and two first round picks for
Kevin Garnett. Well, that's that's a lot, not a lot
(31:29):
of good, but that's a lot. Dang Kevin Garnett. Oh seven,
and then we know what happened soon after that.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Just one title?
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Yeah, who talks about that? Just one title more? Now
you know, it's not that the Celtics don't even compete
with the Bears.
Speaker 9 (31:49):
Oh they're emeritus.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
I mean they and the seventy two Dolphins. They do
still love to talk about that, but they went undefeated.
By the way, the Dolphins in seventy two played Washington
in the Super Bowl. Washington was favored, I believe in
that Super Bowl over the undefeated Miami Dolphins. So whenever
the Dolphins talk about greatness, they didn't have a Their
(32:13):
schedule was not good at all during the regular season.
I think teams they played maybe didn't even average out
to a five hundred record. They struggled in the postseason,
and I believe they were underdogs against Washington in the
Super Bowl. That's the Garo Yepremian, you know, muffed a
field goal and then threw it. Mike Bass ran it back.
(32:35):
Final score fourteen to seven. But the Dolphins, I don't
know how much of an underdog, but they were underdogs
back then. Yes, Marv, the eighty five Bears. Were they
ever close again? Did it ever get to a conference
championship game after eighty five? Well, they were kind of
like the eighty six Giants that they were there. They
were formidable, but didn't you know, McMahon got hurt, Phil
(33:01):
Simms got hurt for the Giants. But that's when Hostetler
came in later in the season and then started the
Super Bowl for him.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
I always thought that those teams get talked about so much,
but they only had one Super Bowl. I mean, you're
just thinking that you could get maybe a three year
run out of both of those teams winning Super Bowls.
All right, let me take a break, last call for
phone calls. What we learn? What's in store tomorrow? I
think the popular actor Matt Damon going to join us
(33:31):
on the program. Got to ask him about Bourne got
to be another Boorn movie on the way, and he's
in a new movie that the director of the Bourne identity,
Doug Lyman. He and they shot that movie in Paris. Hello, So,
Matt Damon, I believe joining us on the program tomorrow.
We'll take a break close up shop after this.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAP.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
If you're going to be bad, be really bad, like
the Chicago White Sox are really really bad. And I'm
looking back. Since nineteen hundred, just two teams had a
worst winning percentage through one hundred and ten games than
this year's White Sox. The Philadelphia Athletics in nineteen sixteen
had twenty three wins, nineteen oh four, Washington Senators had
(34:27):
twenty four. And then you have the Chicago White Sox
twenty twenty four, twenty seven and eighty three. Stat of
your Day, Stat of the day, that beast stat of
the day, stat of the.
Speaker 8 (34:41):
Day, here comes that what stat of the name?
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Stat of the Day brought to you by Panned America.
The official trading cards of The Dan Patrick Show spent
a lot of time, maybe too much time talking about
Lamar Jackson. John Harball says that the vision is that
Lamar will be the greatest quarterback to ever play the game.
I was just hoping he'd show up for practice because
every single preseason he misses practice due to an illness.
(35:10):
Everyone here is Lamar Jackson on wanting to be labeled
a winner.
Speaker 11 (35:16):
That has been the first check bought for me since
twenty eighteen. You know, I said that April twenty six
whenever we were drafting, whenever I was drafted, I said that,
you know, and I meant that. But you know, this
the highest level of this game. You know, we play,
so you got to go out a champion. That's what
I want to be labeled as a champion, you know,
not just MVP here and there, Like I want to
be a champion.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Yeah, I agree, But if I would, if I was
Lamar Jackson, I'd pull John Harball to the side and say, hey, coach,
how about you know, maybe I aspired to be on
the level of Patrick Mahomes. Let's start, you know, baby
steps here. Maybe you're gonna be up there with Peyton
Manning or somebody's got two Super Bowls or how about
one super Bowl? But it just puts more pressure on
(35:59):
him come playoff time, more pressure on Lamar Jackson. And
he doesn't need more pressure. There's already enough pressure on him.
And I think that team is you know, as far
as balance goes. You got a running game. And I
know most teams don't care about having a running game,
but you have a running game that's a real weapon.
With Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson. I think that could
(36:22):
be a whole lot of fun. I wish they were
on like turf inside like they that they had they
played in Atlanta or Vegas, and they'd be like, Okay,
now come deal with us. Yes, Marv, who's got.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
More pressure on him? Joe Burrow, Josh Allen or Lamar
Jackson like to win a Super Bowl?
Speaker 2 (36:43):
I would say Josh Allen, Now, I'd say it's now
Lamar because he's got two MVPs. I wouldn't put it
on Joe Burrow. He's at least gone to the Super Bowl.
The other two haven't. This was pointed out to me
yesterday by a front office executive for a team, and
we got into this discussion about Jordan Love, and he said,
(37:05):
why are you all in on Jordan Love, I said, well,
to be honest, I was all in to start the
season last year and he struggled. But I thought everything
i'd heard he you know, they were ready to go
to him the previous year in Green Bay. So I'm
factoring that in started out slow. Last eleven games, nobody
was better than him. But then the front office executive said, well,
(37:28):
do you see what their record was. Weren't they like
eight and six? And they were They had to go
on a run to get there, so maybe they just
got hot at the right time. How sure are you
that Green Bay's a good team, I said, well, in
today's NFL, I'm not too sure about too many things.
(37:49):
But what I saw, I thought that they were a
really good team, Like it just worked. They had an
idea of who they were, They had an identity there
and then look they jump out all over the Cowboys
and what were they up? Twenty seven to nothing. But
I still believe in what I saw with the Green
Bay Packers last year and Jordan Love. But it's year
(38:13):
to year with your schedule, you know, all these things
abounds here, fumble here, recovery here, touchdown, injury, no injury.
I mean, that's what the sea. I mean, it's a marathon.
You can be really good, really bad and really good
in the same season. You can be really bad, really good,
really bad in the same season because it's months, it's forever, yes, Marta.
(38:37):
That sounds like the Eagles.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
Wow, they were really good and then they were really bad.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
That's one of those where you go, wait a minute,
is this this like Freaky Friday with that body switching movie?
Because what were they ten to one? And then you go, oh,
here they come again, and then all of a sudden,
it's like, Wow, he going to hold onto his job
and probably should have gotten fired. I mean they fired
(39:05):
every well, other assistants have gone to other jobs. They didn't.
They haven't fired everybody, but boy, talk about a tricky year.
Of all the coaches, who has the most pressure. I
mean you're going to put you know, the Cowboys situation,
but look, that's pressure every year. I'd say the Eagle situation. Minute.
(39:34):
I don't know if Sean McDermott is on the hot
seat in Buffalo because I think we've we've lowered our expectation.
Do you think he is Seaton?
Speaker 5 (39:44):
Do you think Buffalo feels like their expectations are lowered, No,
because that's ultimately who's making that call.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Yeah, their expectations should be a little lower like the Bengals.
You know, I don't know where their expectations are. Steelers Niners.
There's no worry there. Ram's no worry there. McCarthy Yeah,
(40:13):
I said Dallas. Yeah, but I don't see. I mean,
it's pressure every year because it's Dallas, but he's too
loyal to his coaches, so it's not like you go, boy,
there's a lot of pressure there. I mean, it's it's
basically the same, just depends on who the coach is.
They just change coaches. Todd, what did you learn today when.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
Talking about the Olympics? E Cola. I really should not
have to come up in the discussion.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Not normally, but it did today with the triathlon seat
No Connor, Statue of Liberty three hundred and five feet tall,
jumping off the Statue of Liberty into the Hudson.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
Make a challenging They have the greatest in the world.
Speaker 2 (40:48):

You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final hour on this Wednesday, we'll hear from Pat McAfee
coming up here in a moment. Stat of the Day
brought to you by panadi America, the official trading cards
of the program. Experience the Olympics like you've never seen
them before, Primetime in Paris tonight, NBC and Peacock. Speaking
of the Olympics, Team USA got a scare last time
(00:25):
they faced South Sudan. They were forty five point favorites
Team USA. You guys want to take a guess how
much Team USA are they favored?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Now?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
They are favored now, jackab just a little humor there,
Little little humor there, Marvin. I'll start with you, Team
USA favored by how many over South Sudan? Later today?
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Thirteen and a half?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
All right, Paulie twenty nine and a half, Todd eighteen
and a half, Seaton nineteen and one a half, twenty eighth,
twenty eight Serbia favored by seventeen over Puerto Rico. In
case you re wonder, all right, pull results and then
pull question for the final hour of this program that if.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
You won the silver medal, you would be gracious and
thankful or salty and unsatisfied. That is at seventy three percent,
would be gracious and thankful. That's nice, just nice. I
do feel like part of me might be like there's
that part where it's like, hey, you made it. That's
good enough. Right, you got to the Olympics. That's good enough,
(01:34):
and you've got a silver medal. That's amazing.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
No, but it's like when you're up for an award,
let's say a Sports Emmy. Hey, you made it, you
got there, and then when you get there and then
you don't win, how did we all feel?
Speaker 5 (01:47):
The worst? Terrible stinks.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
So it's not oh, you made it into the big
building there and then all of a sudden they go
and the winner is MLB tonight, And you're like.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
I wonder if though, there's something about your competing in
that last moment in the Olympics. Yeah, it's like one
last race and you're like, dang, second place.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Depends on what the expectations were. If you were favored
to win a gold and you win a silver, I'd
be a little frosty. Yes, Todd, I'm just kind of creative.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
What if we did four years of shows and you know,
you don't even come in the top three of sports
talk shows or something like that.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
That would be frustrating.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
And that just four years of shows and you just
don't even come away with anything.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Why would you say that to McAfee's never been nominated
and he's joining us, Why would you that's on the horizon. Well, mean,
that's terrible, Pat, I'm sorry, I mean.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
It's on the horizon.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah, it's on the horizon. Pat, I apologize for my people.
Thanks for joining us here.
Speaker 7 (02:49):
Hey, it's an honor Dan, honestly, and to be clear,
you need in your show has been a trailblazer in
this world. Your show with the big old brains at
the have should be acknowledged by the Sports Emmys people,
but they won't because the Sports Emmys people are dumb,
which is why I until you in one, we're not
even entering. We don't even enter our show. So we
(03:12):
haven't even entered our show. We won't until you get
one at least, and then hopefully we'll still exist sometime
after that, and if we decide to enter into the
Sports Emmys world and play their little game, hopefully we'll
be able to take one.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Help you know, well, thank you. Thank you for that support.
If you were like Summer Olympics, what kind of sport
could we see you in?
Speaker 7 (03:34):
So this morning, six am our guy jaw Jaj last
name from California who committed his entire life to table tennis.
Pretty much, he's the furthest that we've ever had in
American men's single advance into the Olympics. Just made to
the round of sixteen. I consider myself a pretty good
table tennis player. I can ping pong with the best
of them in a garage, couple beers, maybe some edabos,
(03:55):
maybe some smoke what you name it.
Speaker 8 (03:57):
But I think that would be I think that would
be this.
Speaker 7 (04:00):
I would want to get into the most definitely not
the poop river swimming one, but the other ones.
Speaker 8 (04:05):
I would just love to represent the United States with America.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I could see you Rugby like I think you're sneaky athletic.
Speaker 7 (04:11):
Well thanks, thanks, ye. I was a professional athlete, of undefeated,
of WrestleMania, you know, all those types of things. Not
as athletic as you, but but yeah, Rugby, I would
want to be like Spiff Cedric, the girl that took
that thing ninety five yards yesterday for the big time
win that we kicked the extra point and we end
up beating the hell out Australia for the bronze medal.
It would be cool to be that I'm not tough enough,
though we all know that not tough enough for that.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
But I've watched the show. You start the show, You're
you're red, white and blue man, You're all over these Olympics.
You got it right now, Yeah, you got your USA
Red White and Blue shirt on there.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Don't you think we need it?
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Then?
Speaker 8 (04:44):
Like I think I think we need it.
Speaker 7 (04:46):
And I appreciate the fact that it does feel that
people from all walks of life support all of these sports.
You know, once these sports and competitions come every four years, you.
Speaker 8 (04:55):
Get introduced to a brand new group.
Speaker 7 (04:56):
And with the swim qualification trials happening here in Indianapolis
at Lucas Oil, I got a chance to go into
the swimming community for like a night and watch out
goes the amount of passion, the amount of like everything
that they have for their sport, for the country, for everything.
It's just like it's a beautiful thing. And I like
to be gross grotesquely obnoxious about America being better than
(05:17):
everybody else, and we've been able to have the opportunity
to do that for the last few Olympics, and it's great.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
If I said you could have Michael phelps career tom
Brady's career.
Speaker 7 (05:28):
Well, I've had a hole in my ear drum for
like two decades. So keep me out of the water.
You know, I'll keep me out of the water. Give
me seven Super Bowls, give me a chance to be
a Hall of Famer for not only the NFL and
for New England probably Tampa Bay's Hall of Fame. And
then if I was Tom Brady and I had his career,
(05:48):
I would never sign up for a Netflix roast. So
that's just kind of the one little change that I
would make. But give me Tom Brady. Even though I
love Michael Phelps. He was literally on our show yesterday.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Okay, why did Tom sign for that abuse?
Speaker 7 (06:02):
I think it was probably a pretty hefty check from
what I've had told, you know, from I think we've
all heard about it, the amount of money that was
potentially given. And then I think his production company too,
probably has a couple more deals with Netflix cooking there,
And I genuinely don't think he knew how talented the
brains are that are in the stand up comedy world
at this current time. I think that's what was on
(06:22):
display during those roasts. I mean, obviously, kill Tony is
something that happens every single week where they just roast everybody,
and then you start thinking about Nicky Glazer, what she
was able to do. Andrew Schultz, like this group of
comedians right now that is kind of leading us into
the next wave of comedy. And Shane Gillis wasn't even there.
I would I mean, that would have been the perfect
human to put in there. But like this new group,
their brains are too good. And I think that roast
(06:43):
was obviously spectacular for us to watch, but it was
too good. We'll never get another one, at least until
the next generation forgets how strong the comedians' brains are.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I think personal Were you asked to take part in
that roast?
Speaker 8 (06:55):
Oh, I was not not at all.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Would you have done it?
Speaker 8 (06:58):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:58):
No, no, no, no no no. I don't like that.
Speaker 8 (07:01):
I don't like that. I don't want I don't want.
I get roasted enough.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
You know, I already get roasted enough in my life
in day to day, and I don't know how you've
done this for as long as you've done in the
sports world, because I assume everybody has respect for you
as they should.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
There's a lot of respect for me amongst other people
that are in the sports world, sports journalist world.
Speaker 8 (07:18):
So I get roasted a lot on a regular basis.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
So I wouldn't sign up for something to go sit
on a stage to get absolutely roasted by everybody.
Speaker 8 (07:25):
That would be a difficult decision. I'd rather good vibes.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
But I am certainly wanted to watch the drama like
I will watch the Real Housewives of Orange County, but
I did not want to be in the Real Housewives
of Orange County, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Talking to Pat McAfee, one of the reasons why well,
the reason why we want to have you on of course,
you were an iconic kicker, punter, kickoffs. Now we have
the official rules that came out. They're kind of like, oh,
by the way, here are the official rules the if
you have to be a losing team in the game
and it has to be a fourth quarter and you
(07:57):
have to announce it. Your thoughts on that.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
Yeah, I think the on side kick was something that
was very special to football for a very long time.
At any moment in the fourth quarter or if your
team was behind, there was a glimmer of hope that
a kicker was going to be able to hit a
perfect ball and then the guys on the kickoff team
were gonna be able to make some miraculous play and
then oh, yeah, we got this thing that has like
a two percent chance of success rate. But then also
(08:23):
our quarterback's going to have to go now another sixty
yards somehow against the defense that they haven't been able
to do it all game, which is why we're behind.
Speaker 8 (08:29):
So it was like there was always a glimmer of hope.
Speaker 7 (08:31):
There was always something that you could hold at the
end of the game and maybe get your team back
into it. But with the new rules that came with
the kickoff, with an elite run up and the amount
of players where they have to be, you can't overload,
you have to keep the they kind of eliminated it
from the game by themselves. So the fact now that
we'll never see a surprise on sidekick again. As a bummer,
I was on the field whenever Thomas Morse had hit
(08:52):
the ambush at halftime. The Super Bowl, obviously the biggest
surprise on sidekick in the history of the sport. They
would go on to win a Super Bowl and and honestly,
that was a wild night, incredible kick by Thomas.
Speaker 9 (09:03):
Who was you did you?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Could you sense it at the time? Being a kicker
watching a kicker like a pitcher has tells, you know,
with a with a pitch like could you sense anything
that was happening?
Speaker 7 (09:16):
His little run up was interesting, you know because like
I did some surprise on side kicks in our run
with the Indianapolis Colts as well, and it was always
cool to get that call, you know, because anytime you're
doing one of those, if you fail, you're giving the
ball to the other team in very very favorable position,
and field position is literally what you're getting paid for
when you're a punter and a kickoff guy. So I
(09:37):
think you could see in his run up a little
bit it might have been a little bit different. But
Thomas Morse, to the guy that did that, actually taught
me how to punt going into the NFL. So he
and I very tight, like very close friends. So whenever
I see him pull that off, it's like I'm pumped
for him.
Speaker 8 (09:50):
But also this sucks. Super Bowl at the age of
twenty two.
Speaker 7 (09:54):
So it's like the surprise on side kick was a
beautiful thing, and it used to be something that a
lot of kickers take, took a lot of prime Like
Sebastian Janikowski, he used to be able to hit a
high hop off, especially over in the coliseum whenever they
played on that baseball dirt. He used to be able
to hit a ball off of the grounds tow it
which hurts you're groin, hit flexer and your tow You
got to really sacrifice a lot.
Speaker 8 (10:15):
Hit that thing right in the ground.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
It would bounce up through like to the third floor
almost and then come down they would be able to
get the jumper. Mason whenever he was at the Packers,
had a great one. It was like something that a
lot of people worked on, and it was something you
took a lot of pride in because if you had
the opportunity to do it, you're.
Speaker 8 (10:30):
Actually affecting the game. It's a turnover.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
You're changing the game completely at the kicker position, which
you can't always do. At the punter position you can't
always do. So it became something that guys started working
on less and less and less, and then with the
way the rules changed, it seemingly just kind of worked
itself out. But now with the new kickoff rules, that's
going to be weird to look at. I think with
the landing zone and where the team's gonna be, where
the kicker's going to be.
Speaker 8 (10:49):
Obviously the XFL had it.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
The XFL doesn't have forty nine million eyes on it
whenever they're having games. It's a little bit different, so
I think people are gonna have to get used to that.
But they're trying to keep it in the game. They're
trying to evolutionize it all. But the on side kick
I think has been sacrificing compromise for a few years
now and now it's officially out, which is a bummer.
Speaker 8 (11:05):
I'm not happy about it at all.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Could you call an audible and do an on side
kick when you were with the Colts.
Speaker 8 (11:11):
Yeah, so the one I hit to myself against the
Houston Texans was not called.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
I mean that.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
That was all me. And if I don't get that,
I just get up and just walk right out of
that statement. You know that is that's on Thursday night football.
But the reason why that happened is because we get
a surprise on sidekick to the left earlier in the season.
We hit a surprise on side kick to the right
earlier in the season, So teams started putting their hands
teams up against us for every single kickoff, and that
actually became the case study that NFL used for the
(11:40):
iteration of the kickoff. That it was where you had
ten per eight people up within twenty yards of the
ball because we faced the hands team for every single kickoff.
Speaker 8 (11:48):
So like I had the highest touchback.
Speaker 7 (11:50):
Percentage like maybe in the history of the NFL, because
teams couldn't set up a return. So I would hit
that thing like one yard in the end zone, they
would have to take a knee because their hands team
was in there because they didn't want to get hit
by surprise on side. So I'm just stealing stats here,
you know, I'm loving everything about it. I don't have
anywhere near the talent of everybody else. But we're looking
out but they're on the right, they're on the left.
The middle was wide open, as you can see in
the thing. So yeah, I just I gave a little
(12:12):
hamstring tap to my guys, basically said stay out of there,
hit it to myself. It worked out and most athletic
thing I've ever done in my entire life. But if
I don't get that, Chuck Plegono says, get your just
gout quit, you know, hang up the helmet, hang up
to Jersey.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
How does the new expansion in playoffs in college football
not work?
Speaker 8 (12:29):
Duh?
Speaker 7 (12:30):
The only way it doesn't work is, I mean, there's
gonna be like the thirteenth team is going to be
debated now, you know. Like obviously, Florida State last year
was incredibly pissed because they didn't make it in they
had their.
Speaker 8 (12:40):
Third string quarterback.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
I don't think anybody with a sane mind outside of
Florida State thought that a third string quarterback should lead
a team into a fourteen playoff. And I think what
the college football playoff last year was fantastic. If I
was a Florida State player, Florida State family member, Florida
State alumni, I would have been mad as well.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Like I'm not happy.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
I understand why they were mad, but I think as
a college football fan, that was the right decision.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Now it's going to be.
Speaker 7 (13:00):
The thirteenth team that's going to get discussed, and there's
going to be a Power five school that's going to
get in over somebody.
Speaker 8 (13:05):
That had a great year that's going to tie.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
So I think the only way it doesn't work is
what the drama it's going to come from, who gets in,
who doesn't get in.
Speaker 8 (13:13):
But for me, home field playoff game is going to
be absurd.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
College football is something that I've been baptized into here
over the last couple of years with College game Day,
the pageantry, the tradition, the fans, the environment, like everything
that is college football. Obviously on the field, it's amazing.
So now we're getting to see it in a very
important game, in a big game. I think that's going
to beautiful. I think this is going to be the
biggest and best college football season of all time. And
(13:36):
I know there's a lot of college football people, old
heads that aren't necessarily happy about that because the world
is changing quickly in front of our eyes and we
don't want to lose Saturday football and turn it into
Sunday football. But this year, I think he's going to beautiful.
I think it's going to be a stone into the
new direction of college football is going, and it's going
to be great. That's how I feel personally.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah, I think Saturdays is kind of leaking into Sunday, though, Pat,
I think we're going to get there. I think they're
just going to take the NFL model, and you might
have forty teams, forty schools and maybe there you know, divisions,
you have an AFC NFC type, you're gonna pay them
revenue sharing, and you're basically gonna, you know, do what
they do, have playoffs and then have a Super Bowl.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
It's interesting, Dan, because like in theory, that would make
sense too, And I think we've kind of batted around
the ball a little bit on how it's good, how
it would work, how wouldn't work. Chip Kelly came on
our show whenever he was still the head coach at UCLA,
and he kind of laid it out. He was like,
the NFL has this right, And I pitched this a
few different times. You obviously just have divisions and conferences.
You can separate it by this, we all go under
one roof and then all of a sudden, we have
(14:38):
more leverage with TV, we have more.
Speaker 8 (14:40):
This, YadA, YadA, YadA YadA.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
But it's like, how do they how do they institute that,
you know, like the NFL works, because obviously it's been
around a long time, one hundred plus years. But like
Roger Goodell is the person and now obviously he's working
for ownership, but at least there's one person that is
kind of at blame or at fault or to credit
for things that are happening, and that's it. He gets
paid very well to do that for college, to get
(15:02):
all the deans, the presidents, the athletic directors, the coaches
all to get on the same page, which is why
we are in a transition era that I don't know
how long it's gonna last, because in theory we all
have answers, but how do they get instituted. I have
no idea, Like, you're gonna need some very important people,
smart people, some people that can sway people, business people
like and also sports people.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Greg Sank Greg Sank, I would just say, Greg, here
you go. He could be even better than Goodell, and
then I would just kind of put it in his lap.
You want to have, you know, co with Tony Petiti
with the big ten. Okay, but it feels like there's
a top heavy college football talent base and then there's
(15:44):
other ones that are stragglers. But can you imagine relegation?
Pat how great would that be that all of a sudden,
North Dakota State is playing, Vanderbilt goes down, Northwestern gets
kicked out. You know, be fun. I don't even know
if those would even get in, but I think you
could have some real fun with that relegation last day,
(16:05):
last game you're watching, You're going to nobody cares about
this game until you care about this game.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Yeah. The only issue with that is Danny.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
You know this because you've had to deal with suits,
I assume for a long long time.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
The presidents of.
Speaker 7 (16:18):
These schools, you know, who have pretty good says is like, hey,
there's a chance next year you guys aren't going to
be in the big ten in your rev Instead of
like eighty million TV deal, you're going to get like
six million next year. And it's like, oh, we're building
a new building because we remember.
Speaker 8 (16:32):
We have to do it.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
So it's just like college ball is awesome, college passion
and loyalty is fantastic. It's like we need to keep that,
need to evolve, need the players to make money, don't
need them to get screwed over. And these nil deals
where they're not paying them out, but who's going to
be in control Sankie would be awesome. I love that man.
I think what he's remember COVID came around, No man,
(16:53):
Big ten said, we're not playing pac twelve said we're
not playing IVY League, so we're not playing. Greg Sankie
got a podium and said, we're playing football in the SEC.
I don't even know what we're talking about. He stood
in the fire, has numerous times, has led the SEC.
Obviously feels good about it. But that's a massive task
for him take on to save the entire country. But
hopefully he'll do it. Because, uh, I agree with you.
There's a lot of opportunity with the great sport of
(17:15):
college football.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
You got to pace yourself, pace yourself this fall. Okay,
are you going to Dublin? Oh?
Speaker 7 (17:22):
Yeah, taking the show to Dublin. We're actually taking our
show to Dublin. I do believe we're in We're in
talks right now with a pub in Dublin to take
our show on Friday over there before Georgia Tech and
Florida State on Saturday on ABC.
Speaker 8 (17:34):
That's gonna be quite a start. And I'm a little worried.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
You're talking about pacing yourself once there's Ginna you know
those guinnesses started.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
I really, I don't know if that's the plural for
a Guinness or.
Speaker 8 (17:44):
Not, but fun, funky, you want to start flowing over there?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
No, no, no, you're good because you're later in the afternoon.
We went over there last year for the Notre Dame
Navy game and our show started too in the afternoon,
and we brought Will Farrell over. We rented out a
pub we were able to sleep in. I mean it's
it's it's dangerously accessible, let's put it that way. So
(18:09):
I would have your guys sign a waiver and you know,
maybe there's a blood alcohol content that you measure each
day when they come in.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
See, I'm a little bit worse because if we start
doing that in Dublin, then we got to start doing
a year too. And uh, you know, a couple of
my guys much better when theer boost.
Speaker 8 (18:26):
Yeah, it's a long season, though, Dan.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
I think my guys have been playing this two K
College football NCAA twenty five game and one of their
big takeaways is like, hey, these are long seasons, Like
this season is long now with the twelve team playoff
and with what it's going to become with the big ten,
the SEC. What they're going to talk about conference play
and everything. If somebody goes undefeated, now, it's gonna be
(18:49):
like the greatest feat in the history.
Speaker 8 (18:51):
Like it's long.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
Yeah, long seasons on a big time matchups, new rivalries
should be a blast, but yeah, long year.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
It's gonna be a long season, long season.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Thank you, Bud. Baby's good.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
Hey, McKenzie's awesome. She just had to check up this morning. Uh,
seventieth percent out for everything. She loves to eat boys,
she loves it. She got my taste buds. That's not
fantastic news. But mom's good. Baby's good. Life is good.
Speaker 8 (19:11):
How are you guys?
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Great?
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Everything's good? Every Day's the super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Hey, you're damn right, Dan, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Every Day?
Speaker 8 (19:19):
Is Fritz's first name?
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Todd?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Todd? Yeah, Tod, jeez, I don't.
Speaker 8 (19:26):
Have his number saved.
Speaker 7 (19:26):
I get a text in any big one, Hey would
like to see you here, and it says Todd, and
I'm like, I don't know Todd.
Speaker 8 (19:31):
So then Paula text me. Paul texts me, He's like, hey,
you come on.
Speaker 7 (19:36):
And then all of a sudden, I get a text
from Todd again, and I'm like oh, and I google it,
I go, Fritz's name's Todd.
Speaker 8 (19:42):
That's on me. I want to let Todd know that
I apologize.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Feel free to block that number if he went wow,
I thought I.
Speaker 8 (19:50):
Blocked it already. That's why when I don't know who
it was, you know, but I appreciate you having me on.
You're the best. You guys are the best in that anything. Honestly,
I know in.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
The way you all came up, which I assume is
through like journalism, score everything, you know, like that whole thing.
I understand that you guys will hold that in high
regard and you certainly own one. But don't play these
puppets games. Okay, you guys have won enough Emmys in
all of our eyes. Don't worry about MLB tonight. Taking
one away from the Dan Patrick Show, your legends, we
appreciate the hell out of you, and thanks for having
(20:21):
me on.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Better round of blows there. Pat mccis very kins ry
kyon when nobody else believed in us, Pat did it's
the future? Yes. Pat McAfee's show, ESPN College Game Day
analyst and sneaky athletic former Colts punchers there. Thank you, Bud.
We'll take a break back after this Dan Patrick show.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Always good to talk to. Pat mcavee very complimentary of
this show and how he's patterned his show, or at
least loosely based off of this show. So thank you.
Eight seven to seven three DP show. I'll get phone
calls here. In the final half hour of the program,
update the poll results. We still have to finish Pauli's
Quick Olympic Quiz. Oh yeah, it just went a little longer,
(21:47):
so there's no quick to the Olympic Quiz sort of
like instant replay. It's just called replay, all right, do
you want to do a recap here? And then we'll
get the update on the poll results.
Speaker 12 (21:59):
Paul Marvin got question one minimum depth of Olympic diving
pool fifteen feet.
Speaker 9 (22:04):
Dan, you got question two correct?
Speaker 12 (22:06):
Why do you divers sit in a hot tub after
a dive to keep their muscles warm to prevent crampingay?
Speaker 9 (22:11):
Question number three?
Speaker 12 (22:13):
What is the height slash distance of the highest Olympic
diving platform either meters or feet either?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Guess Todd? You go first the high dive.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
I'm going to say three hundred feet. That would be
one hundred yards. Beat you fun, I'm gonna kind of
change that.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
No, no, no, no, so three hundred feet.
Speaker 12 (22:36):
It's not Acapulco and the cliff diving thing three hundred
feet puckapool code.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yes. Who did better at pronouncing something? McAfee saying Toad
or PAULI with a before it's the same, Tod, Yeah,
uh Seaton.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
I'm going to say sixty feet all right, Marvin, twenty
five feet, I'll do thirty feet.
Speaker 12 (23:09):
Thirty feet is correct. Another point for Dan, thirty feet
is the high diving platform. I just had one x
to zero zero bonus question gave me. This is from
the swimming people to break the tide. Oftentimes you see
swimmers splash water on themselves right before they start a race.
There are two reasons they may do so, can anyone
(23:30):
get one of two reasons?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (23:33):
To so their body can get adjusted to the water
so they're not getting that first burst of wetness and cold.
Speaker 9 (23:39):
That is correct.
Speaker 12 (23:40):
It prevents the body to have a shock reaction that
swimmers do not like before getting into the water.
Speaker 9 (23:45):
That's why they splash themselves with the water.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (23:47):
The other answer is.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
I think it makes them faster when they enter the water.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Okay, Marvin, what seat in said? I think they know
they just look hot when they have some water glistening
off of them looking hot.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Reason three.
Speaker 12 (24:01):
I would like to give that to you, but I can't.
They said it helps adhere the suit to your body. Yeah,
they're not bubbles or gaps.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Saying when it adheres you look hotter. Half a point yes,
you are also faster.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Therefore I got you the.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Other half point half yes. Okay, update the poll results.
That's your quick Olympic quiz. That took a little longer
than it needed to.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
All right, well done, Okay, if you won silver medal,
our audience would be gracious and thankful. Twenty seven percent
would be salty and unsatisfied. Those are the ru wins.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yes they are.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
It's tough to say that, you know, second place is
just the first loser. Can't really not in the Olympics, right,
silver medal is like a major accomplishment.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
It just depends on what the expectations. Because once again,
if Michael Phelps won a silver, then that's a disappointment.
The women's rugby team wins a bronze, that's the greatest
medal that we've ever won, the only medal that we've
ever won. If you guys are going to be in
(25:01):
the gallery of Happy Gilmore too. We got to work
on this because I did reach out to Sandler. I said,
is Happy Gilmore to the working title? He said, yes,
it is. He didn't say anything else about me, saying
that we're going to start shooting in September in New
Jersey and that I play myself. I guess I'm the
golf host and then I'll probably have an analyst with me. Yes, Marvin,
(25:26):
you were going to say it.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Was actually a soccer question for Steton. Oh, if the
soccer team in the Olympics, if they medal, well, this
start kind of a debate on who should be the
World Cup team going into the next World Cup.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
M maybe like a couple of positions, but for the
most part now okay, probably not. Maybe like a couple
of guys here and there.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
But I have the over under a. DJ Moore got
paid by the Bears, and that usually doesn't happen to
wide receivers. But he got paid, and uh, I have
over unders here. I don't think they're thinking that it's
going to be a great year for DJ Moore. According
to DraftKings over under the number of catches for GJ
(26:10):
Moore with Caleb Williams Marvin.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Eighty seven and a half, Paul seventy four and a half,
godd seventy one.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
And a half, Seaton sixty five, sixty six and a half.
That doesn't sound good. No, He's going to spread the
wealth around, is what Caleb's going to do. All those
weapons and only one ball over under touchdowns DJ Moore
with the Bears, Paul start with you five and a half, Marvin.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Six and a half.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Bloop bloop, bloop, rigged. That's it. You got sixty six
and a half catches and six point five touchdowns. Wow,
is that a successful I don't think so, not for
a guy making that kind of money. I guess for
Bears receivers. But you know the bar is not very
high there. So DJ Moore getting paid a lot of
(27:08):
money and they're not expecting big numbers there for him.
They also have these player props like who will have
more passing yards? So Dak versus c J. Stroud Mm hmm,
it's a tie, tie tie tie minus one ten versus
(27:33):
minus one ten. Jordan Love versus Aaron Rodgers Marvin.
Speaker 8 (27:43):
Jordan Love.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Yes, Jordan Love favored over Aaron Rodgers minus one thirty five,
Aaron Rodgers plus one oh five. Jared Goff, Matthew Stafford,
Paul Stafford favorite god golf.
Speaker 9 (28:03):
Because it's Stafford.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Three hundred meters Jared Goff minus won twenty Matthew Stafford
one oh five. How about that? Just some some over
unders there with DraftKings and.
Speaker 6 (28:20):
Say three dred meters are three hundred feet, but that's
still one hundred yards.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
That's pretty high up to jump the lend of a
football field. Yes, that's kind of crazy.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I don't know if you got to duck when you
got up there to the roof.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
It was a stupid guest. This is no way to
color that in the other way.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
But were you listening, because sometimes you just say stupid things.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
It was.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
I was just I was thinking diving.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
And you gotta climb up all those steps, and I
mean it's like that's got to be like three.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Hundred feet up in the air. Uh my boy. Bobby
Witt Junior the Third did it again. He's got twelve
game hitting streak and White Sox lost again. Bobby went
in the month of July is hitting four eighty three.
The last time you had somebody this good in a
(29:04):
calendar month, you have to go back to July of
two thousand and six. This player batted five hundred. His
ops was one thousand and five fifty nine. A fellow infielder,
Bobby Witt Junior the Third is a short stum Marvin No, wow, wow, Okay,
(29:32):
give you credit. Paul Robinson Cano, don't you know? No,
that's fine, Todd, I don't know. Yeck, you have no name.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
I'm gonna go Bregman.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Only because he's on the Astros. Like you don't know
any baseball players anymore. Yeah, and that doesn't help us. Seaton.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
I don't know any of that, but I do you
know that the statue of Liberty is three hundred and
five feet tall.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
So you would be jumping off the statue, would.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
Be jumping off the top of the Statue of Liberty.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
I'll be impressive.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
That would be impressive. That's a hell of a jump.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
And where did we get the statue of liberty from
those friends?
Speaker 3 (30:15):
A statue of Liberty as a torch? See the whole
thing there.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Chipper Jones, Chipper Jones July of two thousand and six
batted five hundred and zops was one five hundred and
fifty nine. Yes, Paul.
Speaker 9 (30:30):
By the way, in two thousand and six, Alex Spragman
was eleven years old.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
It was eleven day, Statu eleven.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Not two Gooday Scatta day.
Speaker 8 (30:43):
This is the stat of the Day.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Stat of the Day, brought to you by Panini America,
the official trading parts of the program. By the way,
I was talking about Mike Trout and being loyal, and
I mentioned Kevin Garnett being loyal to Minnesota. Well, on
this date in two thousand and seven that Kevin Garnett
got traded to the Boston Celtics. How about who the
(31:08):
Boston Celtics gave up Al Jefferson, Ryan Gomes, Gerald Green,
Theo Ratliffe, Sebastian Telfair and two first round picks for
Kevin Garnett. Well, that's that's a lot, not a lot
(31:29):
of good, but that's a lot. Dang Kevin Garnett. Oh seven,
and then we know what happened soon after that.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Just one title?
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Yeah, who talks about that? Just one title more? Now
you know, it's not that the Celtics don't even compete
with the Bears.
Speaker 9 (31:49):
Oh they're emeritus.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
I mean they and the seventy two Dolphins. They do
still love to talk about that, but they went undefeated.
By the way, the Dolphins in seventy two played Washington
in the Super Bowl. Washington was favored, I believe in
that Super Bowl over the undefeated Miami Dolphins. So whenever
the Dolphins talk about greatness, they didn't have a Their
(32:13):
schedule was not good at all during the regular season.
I think teams they played maybe didn't even average out
to a five hundred record. They struggled in the postseason,
and I believe they were underdogs against Washington in the
Super Bowl. That's the Garo Yepremian, you know, muffed a
field goal and then threw it. Mike Bass ran it back.
(32:35):
Final score fourteen to seven. But the Dolphins, I don't
know how much of an underdog, but they were underdogs
back then. Yes, Marv, the eighty five Bears. Were they
ever close again? Did it ever get to a conference
championship game after eighty five? Well, they were kind of
like the eighty six Giants that they were there. They
were formidable, but didn't you know, McMahon got hurt, Phil
(33:01):
Simms got hurt for the Giants. But that's when Hostetler
came in later in the season and then started the
Super Bowl for him.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
I always thought that those teams get talked about so much,
but they only had one Super Bowl. I mean, you're
just thinking that you could get maybe a three year
run out of both of those teams winning Super Bowls.
All right, let me take a break, last call for
phone calls. What we learn? What's in store tomorrow? I
think the popular actor Matt Damon going to join us
(33:31):
on the program. Got to ask him about Bourne got
to be another Boorn movie on the way, and he's
in a new movie that the director of the Bourne identity,
Doug Lyman. He and they shot that movie in Paris. Hello, So,
Matt Damon, I believe joining us on the program tomorrow.
We'll take a break close up shop after this.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAP.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
If you're going to be bad, be really bad, like
the Chicago White Sox are really really bad. And I'm
looking back. Since nineteen hundred, just two teams had a
worst winning percentage through one hundred and ten games than
this year's White Sox. The Philadelphia Athletics in nineteen sixteen
had twenty three wins, nineteen oh four, Washington Senators had
(34:27):
twenty four. And then you have the Chicago White Sox
twenty twenty four, twenty seven and eighty three. Stat of
your Day, Stat of the day, that beast stat of
the day, stat of the.
Speaker 8 (34:41):
Day, here comes that what stat of the name?
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Stat of the Day brought to you by Panned America.
The official trading cards of The Dan Patrick Show spent
a lot of time, maybe too much time talking about
Lamar Jackson. John Harball says that the vision is that
Lamar will be the greatest quarterback to ever play the game.
I was just hoping he'd show up for practice because
every single preseason he misses practice due to an illness.
(35:10):
Everyone here is Lamar Jackson on wanting to be labeled
a winner.
Speaker 11 (35:16):
That has been the first check bought for me since
twenty eighteen. You know, I said that April twenty six
whenever we were drafting, whenever I was drafted, I said that,
you know, and I meant that. But you know, this
the highest level of this game. You know, we play,
so you got to go out a champion. That's what
I want to be labeled as a champion, you know,
not just MVP here and there, Like I want to
be a champion.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Yeah, I agree, But if I would, if I was
Lamar Jackson, I'd pull John Harball to the side and say, hey, coach,
how about you know, maybe I aspired to be on
the level of Patrick Mahomes. Let's start, you know, baby
steps here. Maybe you're gonna be up there with Peyton
Manning or somebody's got two Super Bowls or how about
one super Bowl? But it just puts more pressure on
(35:59):
him come playoff time, more pressure on Lamar Jackson. And
he doesn't need more pressure. There's already enough pressure on him.
And I think that team is you know, as far
as balance goes. You got a running game. And I
know most teams don't care about having a running game,
but you have a running game that's a real weapon.
With Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson. I think that could
(36:22):
be a whole lot of fun. I wish they were
on like turf inside like they that they had they
played in Atlanta or Vegas, and they'd be like, Okay,
now come deal with us. Yes, Marv, who's got.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
More pressure on him? Joe Burrow, Josh Allen or Lamar
Jackson like to win a Super Bowl?
Speaker 2 (36:43):
I would say Josh Allen, Now, I'd say it's now
Lamar because he's got two MVPs. I wouldn't put it
on Joe Burrow. He's at least gone to the Super Bowl.
The other two haven't. This was pointed out to me
yesterday by a front office executive for a team, and
we got into this discussion about Jordan Love, and he said,
(37:05):
why are you all in on Jordan Love, I said, well,
to be honest, I was all in to start the
season last year and he struggled. But I thought everything
i'd heard he you know, they were ready to go
to him the previous year in Green Bay. So I'm
factoring that in started out slow. Last eleven games, nobody
was better than him. But then the front office executive said, well,
(37:28):
do you see what their record was. Weren't they like
eight and six? And they were They had to go
on a run to get there, so maybe they just
got hot at the right time. How sure are you
that Green Bay's a good team, I said, well, in
today's NFL, I'm not too sure about too many things.
(37:49):
But what I saw, I thought that they were a
really good team, Like it just worked. They had an
idea of who they were, They had an identity there
and then look they jump out all over the Cowboys
and what were they up? Twenty seven to nothing. But
I still believe in what I saw with the Green
Bay Packers last year and Jordan Love. But it's year
(38:13):
to year with your schedule, you know, all these things
abounds here, fumble here, recovery here, touchdown, injury, no injury.
I mean, that's what the sea. I mean, it's a marathon.
You can be really good, really bad and really good
in the same season. You can be really bad, really good,
really bad in the same season because it's months, it's forever, yes, Marta.
(38:37):
That sounds like the Eagles.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
Wow, they were really good and then they were really bad.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
That's one of those where you go, wait a minute,
is this this like Freaky Friday with that body switching movie?
Because what were they ten to one? And then you go, oh,
here they come again, and then all of a sudden,
it's like, Wow, he going to hold onto his job
and probably should have gotten fired. I mean they fired
(39:05):
every well, other assistants have gone to other jobs. They didn't.
They haven't fired everybody, but boy, talk about a tricky year.
Of all the coaches, who has the most pressure. I
mean you're going to put you know, the Cowboys situation,
but look, that's pressure every year. I'd say the Eagle situation. Minute.
(39:34):
I don't know if Sean McDermott is on the hot
seat in Buffalo because I think we've we've lowered our expectation.
Do you think he is Seaton?
Speaker 5 (39:44):
Do you think Buffalo feels like their expectations are lowered, No,
because that's ultimately who's making that call.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Yeah, their expectations should be a little lower like the Bengals.
You know, I don't know where their expectations are. Steelers Niners.
There's no worry there. Ram's no worry there. McCarthy Yeah,
(40:13):
I said Dallas. Yeah, but I don't see. I mean,
it's pressure every year because it's Dallas, but he's too
loyal to his coaches, so it's not like you go, boy,
there's a lot of pressure there. I mean, it's it's
basically the same, just depends on who the coach is.
They just change coaches. Todd, what did you learn today when.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
Talking about the Olympics? E Cola. I really should not
have to come up in the discussion.
