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

Speaker 2 (00:05):
On this Wednesday, Dan and the Dan Ats Dan Patrick
Show got a lot of topics to dive into. And
speaking of diving into, the triathlon is underway. They are
swimming in the sand river the Okay, if it was
a Sherman Williams or Crayola crayon color, what color would
you have or label the send river? It is brownish

(00:31):
greenish tope, Yes, Paul.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
I would say, like a matt olive, like a matted Okay,
you have olive?

Speaker 4 (00:41):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Anybody else have a color that they would recommend. Yes, time,
like a forest green, worst green? Okay. Yeah, it depends
on you know, the shading and the sunlight and how
it looks. And I mean this is where NBC should
have said, you know what, we've got some lenses we
can on this. We'll make it crystal clear blue. It'll

(01:02):
look great like it's Hawaii. I would not go in there.
They're in there, but I unless I was rescuing somebody
in my family, I don't think I would go in there.
And it's kind of hard to swim in a triathlon
and keep your mouth shut the whole time you got

(01:23):
to breathe at some point without you know, bringing in
inhaling some of Paris's finest water. There, Yes, Paul, it's.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Kind of more of a topee color with the sun
hitting it at this time of day.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Lovely. Okay, all right, welcome to the program. Already underway,
as you can tell. Stat of the Day brought to
you by Panini America, The official trading cards of the
Dan Patrick Show. First Hour brought to you by McGuire's
new Ultimate Headlight Restoration Kit, No tools required, quick and easy.
Best part, your headlights will stay clear and look great
for over eighteen months. McGuire's Reflect your Passion Play of

(01:55):
the Day stat of the Day poll question. Also, I
heard from Adam Sandler yesterday about Happy Gilmore Too. I
have to run it by the Home office to see
if I'm allowed to tell you about Happy Gilmore Too.

(02:15):
Where the location will be, What role I play when
we start shooting. There was some dialogue, some text messages
going back and forth. I just don't want Sandman to
wake up, and all of a sudden there's headlines with
people saying, oh, so you're shooting it there? And then
and then he told me I play myself in the movie.

(02:36):
But so I got an update on Happy Gilmore Io
that let me check in with Sandman first, because I
don't want him to be upset. Sandman was the home office.
They're not your home home office? Yes, oh okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Sandman is the true home office. Run it by him noted? Yes,
and then I'll run it by the home office that
I might be away for a little while, although I'm wondering,

(02:58):
could we do our show? Oh on the sess of
Happy Gilmore too, Yes we can.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
I just ran to pass the home off, Yes we can.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Did Home Office just confirmed? Okay. So I'm gonna try
to get in touch with Sandman and then I'm going
to ask him about Happy Gilmour too, all right. US
women's gymnastics yay, wins the team gold. Rugby was awesome.
US women's rugby was great getting the bronze. And I
don't know if they have many runoffs in rugby, but

(03:27):
you know we had a runoff there. Cardinals, Dodgers, Mariners,
Mets load up at the trade deadline. Tom Berducci a
little bit later on to assess we always got to
give grades. Hey, who did really well here? On paper.
Pat McAfee of the mother Ship's going to stop by.
We'll talk about the new kickoff rules. And he was

(03:48):
also there when the Colts played the Saints and the
Saints had the on side kick. Was McAfee the punter
for the Colts when they surprised them with the second
half kickoff in the Super Bowl with Sean Payton. I
think mac was there, but uh, he'll join us coming
up a little bit later on in the program. Se
Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for

(04:09):
downloading the app and our radio affiliates around the country.
Fox Sports Radio, iHeartRadio. Peacock is our streaming partner where
you can watch the Olympics. Yes, McAfee was there on
that Super Bowl team when they had the big suprise.
You can't do that anymore with the kickoff, no surprises anymore,
and you can't do it until the fourth quarter. So
we'll talk to McAfee coming up here in a little bit.

(04:32):
All right, See in poll question today at least first
hour is going to be what, well, right now, what's
currently on my mind is are you a little color blind?

Speaker 4 (04:40):
Yes or no?

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Why?

Speaker 5 (04:43):
Because you know we're just talking about the color of
the Send River. Yeah, and I didn't know this my
whole life growing up, But it turns out I'm a
little color blind, and it's with like brown and greens. Oh,
and so when I look at that river, I'm like, oh,
it's kind of I can't tell if it's brown or
if it's green. And like the house that I live in,
my wife and I argue all the time because I'm like, Babe,

(05:05):
that's a green house and she's like, no, I picked
out the color.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
It's brown.

Speaker 5 (05:10):
And all the time, like you're telling that you cannot
tell me that that house is not green. She's like,
I'm telling you it's brown. And I think that she's
just messing with me, but it turns out she's not. Okay,
so you're color blind a little bit.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yeah. I think it's only with those with those two colors.
Only men can be color blind. Does that sound right? Really?
I for some reason I heard that Maybe I totally
made it up, but I thought only men are color blind. Yes,
women can be color blind, so it's less common than
in men. Hmm. Okay.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
It makes sense though, because so many times I've come
home and there's dishes all over my wifebreath. Are you blind?
You didn't see these clear things up?

Speaker 2 (05:48):
So what other pole questions do we have here?

Speaker 5 (05:52):
We got another one here from Paul, your producer. If
you won the silver metal metal in the post race interview,
would you be gracious and thankful or salty and unsatisfied?

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Well, this depends on if you expected you were you
were expected to win or it's an unbelievable time that
you put up. I think that if you're a swimmer
and you finish second in the previous Olympics and you
go into these Olympics to finish second again, I might
be a little frosty about it. I don't know if
I would be a yeah, what an honor just to

(06:26):
get the silver. You go there to win the gold.
If you finish second the previous time, or you have
one of the top times, I don't think you get
out of the pool and you're like, well, very cheery
because you want to win the gold medal. So I
would say depending on the expectation level you going into
the Olympics too, what happened at the Olympics, Because you

(06:49):
could have your personal best and still finish second and
there's no shame in that. But if you're expected to win,
like Michael Phelps was always expected to win the gold,
Katie Ladecki, they can't get out even when they win,
they're supposed to win, and that's tricky too. Like the
US women's basketball team, you can't get silver, But the

(07:09):
US women's rugby team getting bronze is the biggest story
in the history of you know, women's rugby. What else
do you have there?

Speaker 5 (07:19):
Set US men's gymnastics medaling was massive. I think did
they get a bronze in the team and they were
like going crazy because it had never happened or it
hadn't happened in sixteen years or whatever it was. It
hadn't happened in a really long time, and they were
going crazy. If Simone Biles and the women's team finished bronze,
it would be a massive failure.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
I just think it's the expectation level the men's basketball team.
They're expected to bring home the gold and I don't
know what that would be like to be the favorite.
Where Michael Phelps goes into the pool every time and
he was expected to win every time. Usain Bolt was
expected to win every single time, and even the joy

(08:00):
or trying to have joy in that where people go, h,
I saw you won the gold, what was your talent? Like,
it won't be God, you won the gold. It'd be
like a personal best. And I don't know why we
think that every swimming event there has to be an
Olympic record, you know, like every year or every Olympics.

(08:21):
It'd be like, oh, oh that's a personal best, but
it's not an Olympic record.

Speaker 5 (08:26):
It is weird, yeah, that we've come to expect, like oh,
they didn't even break the world record in this race.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah. And then I found out that the pool is
not as deep as other Olympic pools, and therefore that
might prevent some of these Olympic records being broken. I
thought we had a standard depth when it comes to
how deep a pool is for the Olympics. Doesn't it
seem like it's like six and a half seven feet

(08:53):
something like that, Yeah, Paul.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Yeah, I don't want to be out of my depth.
But I did read a New York Times article that
said the speculation is the pool is a little more shallow,
which would churn the water differently, turn the water back
towards the swimmers, and possibly the cause of it. Other
people are saying it's just an anomaly when there is
or isn't world records because we don't develop that fast.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
Okay, But why is it not the same depth for
an Olympic pool. It's called an Olympic pool. I would
think there would be.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
Well, it's not three feet, you know, it's still like
a regulation depth, but it varies. It has to be
a minimum and there is a maximum.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
No, But it's called an Olympic.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Pool, right, it can't be like twenty six meters compared.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
To the no. It should be the same depth with
length depth.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
According to the article, the depth can vary the length
of Why.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
I don't know why it's an Olympic pool.

Speaker 5 (09:47):
Why are we okay with that in some sports and
not others. Well, you know a baseball stadium, that's the
character of it. You know that that's your ballpark, and
you build your team in accordance to what your ball
park looks like the basket NBA basketball floor it's the same. Now,
you do have hockey arenas rinks that were different sizes

(10:09):
down through the years, which I always found kind of strange.
But no, I would think it's called an Olympic pool
and there's Olympic specifications there, right, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
According to the Olympic website here, the minimum depth of
Olympic approved pool is one point three to five meters
and says, yeah, Olympic pools must actually be deeper than
that the World Aquatics for normal Olympic races. For the Olympics,
it must be two point five meters.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Okay, how many feet is that?

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Great question? Okay, probably three times then.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
So it's like six and a half feet something like
water polo. I think the pool is six and a
half feet the temptation to touch the bottom, yes, but
you can't. But I think it's six and a half
feet for a water polo.

Speaker 5 (11:04):
It does seem odd though, that swimmers, like so many
good ones like the Marquee names, are finishing like a
second or a second and a half behind what their
normal time is.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah, that does seem odd. Yeah, maybe it's because the
depth of the pool.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Yes, Paul, believe it or not, there's actually a lifeguard
on duty during the Olympic events. You'll see a gentleman
it looks like Olympic swimmer in shorts, you know, the
tight shorts, sitting right at the edge of the pool.
He's the actual lifeguard. He's paid to save anyone.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Has he ever saved anyone? Has anybody ever been saved
during a swimming event? I don't know.

Speaker 5 (11:37):
But if we don't when the Olympics are in LA
in four years, if we don't have a bay Watch
themed lifeguards on duty, then we're failing as a nation.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
That may be the new best job in sports, Olympic lifeguard,
because it doesn't seem like there's a lot of incidents.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yeah, but it seems really boring. Yes, you're just sitting
there not doing anything. At least if you're a lifeguard
and you're at the beach, you get some scenery instead
of Okay, here's the four hundred meter I am doesn't
sound like fun? All right? So any other poll questions there? Yeah,
I think we're gonna go with those couple.

Speaker 5 (12:12):
I mean we could throw in a who won the
MLB trade deadline if you'd like.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah, that's a little more complicated. I'll let Tom Berducci
tell me that in an hour from now. Yeah, who
won the trade deadline? There was a flurry of activity.
I was watching the mother ship. There was a flurry
of activity with those loading up, those trying to unload.

Speaker 5 (12:34):
So someone describe it as absolute carnage. The last forty
eight hours has been an absolute carnage.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Carnage.

Speaker 5 (12:41):
Yeah, that's pretty fun. But carnage sounds like it's a negative.
Is carnage a negative word?

Speaker 2 (12:49):
I would think it is. I would think frenzy would
be a little bit better. Frenzy.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
Carnage sounds like slaughter of a great number of as
in battle, butchery, massacre, yes, fighting or other violence, brutal carnage.
I don't think anybody died yesterday.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
Negative tones.

Speaker 5 (13:07):
I don't think so hopes and dreams died yesterday, okay, selling, Yeah, carnage, yes, carnage, Yeah,
that's right.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah, that's that's not the right word. Frenzy. Flurry of
Activity Bonanza eight seven seven three DP Show email address

So Tom Berducci will assess the winners and losers of
the trade deadline, and then Pat McAfee will join us
coming up in the final hour of the program. As

(13:37):
we look at the you know the it kind of
came out in a sneaky way yesterday with the official
official rules of the kickoff. The on side kick, like
it was a little surprising that it kind of trickled out,
and you're like, wait a minute, I thought we already
solved this, settled this. It's like they did until they
got back and they fine tuned it, and they just

(13:57):
wanted to make sure that everybody understood exactly, Hey, you
have to tell the opposition you're gonna have an on sidekick.
You can't use it until the fourth quarter. You have
to be behind when I didn't know that there were
all these addendums to that rule. But McAfee being a
former kicker on the kickoffs and All Pro punter, he'll

(14:19):
join us coming up a little bit later on as well.
All right, just getting started here at least I think,
and I'm going to run this by Sandler. Let me
see if I can get a hold of him. And
I don't know if he's in Hawaii or he's in
LA or somewhere in between, but I ask the Sandman
if I can get the green light to tell you
more about Happy Gilmore too.

more about the story about what made these people love
their sport and all the interesting interactions along the way.

Listen to All Ball with Doug Gotlieb on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
There's certain information that comes out during the Olympics and
you go, you know, I never thought that I would
really be concerned about E coli at a swimming event there,
but that was something they were measuring. They had four
tests with the triathlon course and one was below the
threshold for E coli and they gave you all of

(15:42):
the per millimeters and then they said, no, it's considered sufficient,
and so the triathlon is underway on the Senn River.
I was also watching three on three basketball yesterday Jim
or Fordett Friend of the Ship. He scored four points
as the United States men's team lost their Olympic debut.

(16:06):
They lost to Serbia Serbia is a bronze medalist from
the Tokyo Olympics, and Team USA with Jimmer Fredett lost
twenty two to fourteen.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
That was a game to Fordet.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Thank you, Tom, and we settle on our pole question.
I do believe, you know, when you watch Michael Phelps
at the Olympics, like he's Olympic emeritus, there's certain guys
for certain athletes, because Simone Biles is Olympic emeritus. She
is now after winning team gold, and you say Bolt

(16:40):
is you know, probably going to be Olympic emeritus if
he's not already with the You know, when you show up,
that's a big deal, like you're you're bringing your entire
sport when you show up. But to have Michael Phelps
and Serena Williams, they're watching the US women's gymnastics team.
So you have the greatest maybe the greatest Olympian, certainly

(17:02):
the greatest swimmer. You have the greatest women's tennis player,
and then you have the greatest women's gymnast gymnast, maybe
the greatest in the world. And they're all there in
the same building. But the pressure, though, go back to
when Simone Biles left the previous Olympics and what we
said about her. People were really crude, rude, mean about

(17:26):
Simone Biles and what happened to her. And I think
this was you know, certainly if she's going I think
she's only twenty seven. Does that sound right? But that's
old in that sport. But to be at the top
of your game twenty seven years of age. Now she's married,
maybe she wants to start a family. But at age twenty seven,

(17:48):
I don't know how many gymnasts, you know, are able
to compete at a really high level. We're in their thirties,
certainly for the women. But she is, she's Olympic emeritus.
I'm trying to think of other sports that we have
where like Mary lou Retten Olympic emeritus, what other sports
Carl Lewis would be Olympic emeritus when he walks into

(18:09):
the building.

Speaker 4 (18:10):
Yes, Mark Michael Johnson still does stuff for track and
field too.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Yeah, does he still hold the Olympic record world record
in the two hundred meters? I don't know if he
does anymore. Looking didn't he didn't he take a fire
extinguisher to his shoes. Yes, in Atlanta, Yes.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
They're in the trials. He had some guy run out
and distinguish his shoes pretty good. Usain Bolt broke the
two hundred record a couple of years after.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Yeah, oh yeah, that makes that makes sense.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
Michael Johnson did have it for a long stretch and
then Usain Bolt, Johann Blake, Noah Isles are above them.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Wait oh, but they're not above Usain Bolt. Bolt still
has the two hundred and one hundred yes, world records. Yeah, okay,
probably going to have those for a little while. You know,
normally those records don't last from one Olympic to the next.
But uh, you know with Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps, like
Katie Ledecki in her specially what is that the fifteen

(19:07):
hundred meter. I think she's got like the top twenty
times of all time. So there's we saw the chart yesterday.
She has fourteen of the top fifteen you know times
of all time. The finals are today. I wonder if

(19:27):
she could win by like a half a lap or something.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
The sul ma could carry something, did I you know
they were those big puffy coats before they get the pool.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
She has to keep that thing on. I remember we
talked to Michael Phelps and we said, hey, Paulie would
get in the pool and swim against you if you
swam in a suit of armor. He said, he said
he would still win in a suit of armor if
he swam against Paulie. God, it's been awesome. He's clanking, clanking, clanking,

(19:58):
runners swimmers take youre.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Mark flying past me as I'm doggy paddling to death.
Katie Ladeci has that great video where she has a
glass of chocolate milk on her having a snorkel and
she carries it to the water. It looks like a
fake video.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yes, they should make her do that. So she's dominant
in the eight hundred meters and fifteen hundred meters. But
Katie Ladecci is, you know, Olympic emeritus here for the
United States. All right. Joe in Wisconsin, Hi Joe, good morning.
What's on your mind today? Hey Joe? Bye? Joe. Thomas

(20:40):
in North Carolina, Hey Thomas, Hey.

Speaker 7 (20:44):
DP, I'm really surprised you didn't start the show out
with the major upset and table tennis. You got the
number one Chinese player getting upset by Sweden, so I'm
really surprised about that.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Okay, I'm sorry about that. I didn't want to spoil
it in case people wanted to watch it later on Tom.

Speaker 7 (21:04):
I understand. I understand. Also, I had a question about
yesterday you had mentioned about some of these cities going bankrupt.
If if there's some kind of negative fallout by the
pollution and stuff in the water and stuff like that,
they're going to have a negative impact on the city
of Love.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
No, No, Paris Is, Paris is always going to be Paris. Now.
Tourism is huge. People aren't necessarily going, you know, to Well,
they would go to Greece and they'd go to Rio,
but it's it's different with Paris, London. It's different. You're
not going to Sochi, believe me, or a family vacation
soci No, no, no, no, no no. The fact that

(21:46):
we weren't allowed to leave the Olympic village unless like
I guess I can say it now, but there were
you know, people who were hired there to be bodyguards
if we went into downtown Sochi. I never went.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
Were you you're allowed to be escorted downtown?

Speaker 2 (22:06):
I guess, but I didn't. I met somebody who was
a retired police officer, and he was, you know, he
was there making sure if somebody was going out that
you know, it was you had to be aware, you did.
Now nothing ever happened, but you're still in Russia and

(22:28):
it was you know, that's where it wasn't one of
those golly, isn't this beautiful? Can't wait to take the
wife and kids here? One day when we went to
Vancouver and that was different, like that was scenic. Even Calgary.
When I went to Calgary and you went to vamp
one of the prettiest places on the you know, face

(22:50):
of the earl oh Sochi was not. But I did
feel sorry for the workers there. Unbelievable workers work ethic
un and uh you know, they came in from Siberia
and then they would be there working constantly, you know
during you know, in the UH where we were staying,

(23:11):
the UH Olympic Village of Sorts, the UH Media Village,
Media Village there you go, yes, but yeah, it was
it's eye opening there sometimes, uh, even in in Rio,
when you're looking and you're seeing how poor people are there.
I mean, what what we're showing you is all pretty,

(23:34):
it's all beautiful, but you know there's the reality of
people countries think well this is this is going to
help us. We're going to get money the infrastructure going
to prove all of this, and a couple of those,
certainly Greece and uh in Rio, they they didn't recover
from that, uh Phil in Pennsylvania. I feel what's on
your mind today, Sean.

Speaker 8 (23:57):
Always a great pleasure to talk to you, my friend.
I think if you're looking at the word carnage very
much apropos if you're the Florida Marlins every year, and
as far as as far as the pool, Dan, I'm
with you. How do you not have a standardized pool?
How can you even look at records having any kind

(24:20):
of consistency. So I'd love to hear your thoughts on that.
Always a pleasure, buddy.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
All right, thank you, Phil. Yeah, we're trying to get
a hold of some of our best people. Why the
Olympic swimming pool has a different depth than maybe other
ones that are used, and maybe that's why we're not
getting Olympic records, yes, Marvin. And also it's the Miami Marlins,
not the Florida Marlin. Yeah. Yeah, let's be let's not
put the blame on the entire state of Florida, just

(24:47):
Miami there with the Marlins, Patrick in North Carolina. Good morning, Patrick.

Speaker 9 (24:53):
More than Dan called you yesterday about the most impactful
trade at the deadline and low and behold trade Turner
with or Justin Turner with two rabies last night and
the Mariners land. So I think we got that.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Answer, okay.

Speaker 10 (25:06):
And I wanted to.

Speaker 9 (25:07):
Propose a pie to the face bet for the Toddler
back there.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
Okay, Todd, Patrick has a pie to the face bed
for you.

Speaker 9 (25:15):
What do we got, wayam my Mariners against your astros?
Just who wins the West? Or if you'd rather, we
can see who goes further in the playoffs.

Speaker 4 (25:25):
Let's do it? Why not?

Speaker 3 (25:28):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (25:29):
So we got a bet, pie to the face? Which
team goes further in the postseason?

Speaker 11 (25:33):
Is that?

Speaker 4 (25:34):
Patrick? Patrick's Marinders and my astros? Who goes further for
the season into the playoffs?

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Okay? That sounds sounds like a bet, all right, Patrick,
thank you for calling in. Yes, yes, Paul, I.

Speaker 3 (25:43):
Do have an update. An Olympic pool. The depth in
feet it has to be between six point five and
nine point eight feet deep. Missy Franklin remember the great swimmer.
She talked about it in an interview and she said
that the more shallow of the pool. Again, they call
it slow pools, that's what they call it. And this
one is seven and one half feet m in Paris,

(26:05):
so it's a little on the shallow side.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
Okay, all right, thank you, beck To By the way,
you know, I was we played a clip from John Elway.
He was being interviewed pardon my take, and they were
talking about he was playing golf with Josh Allen recently,
and they asked how long did it take before Josh
Allen brought up that John Elway passed on drafting Josh Allen.

(26:28):
He said two and a half holes, and then he
brought it up to him. But you start to think
about Elway graduated from Stanford, he took Rock Osweiler, he
took Paxton Lynch, he passed on Josh Allen, He took
Drew Locke forty second overall in twenty nineteen. Sometimes the
greats aren't great talent evaluators and Michael Jordan case in point,

(26:53):
Kwalme Brown, Adam Morrison with whiff. But you would think
Mike would be looking for someone that had characteristics of himself,
that played the same way, cared the same I don't
know how you could look at Kwame Brown's game and

(27:13):
granted it was high school and go, yep, unless Mike
you know, fell victim to well all those fails draft height.
I mean, those are two big misses there. Adam Morrison
was a wonderful college player but couldn't play in the NBA.
Kwame Brown had by you know, most scouting reports, had

(27:38):
a lot of talent, but nobody knew if he could
play in the NBA. And meanwhile, here's Michael Jordan taking
both of those guys, and you know, it's just when
you're going to okay a talent evaluator. You would think
those who have talent could evaluate talent. And then you
have somebody like Brad Holmes, who's the GM for the

(27:59):
Detroit Lions, who nobody knows he used to be. He
worked in PR for the Atlanta Hawks before he got
the job with the Lions. It's what do you see
that I don't see? And that can make or break
a franchise. But Elway talking about he could have taken Josh.
There are other you know, gms could have taken Josh Allen.

(28:22):
But the fact you're playing golf with Josh Allen and
he reminds you I could have been a Denver Bronco.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
Yes, Paul I got a couple of draft grades the
day aft of the twenty eighteen draft, and they're not
that friendly to Josh Allen. They say he is the
biggest risk in the biggest upside. They say he takes
way too many chances overuses his arm, which you can
make the case is still playing out.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
Sure.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
They said that this is three or four different draft reviews.
At eighteen. Sam Donald is a much safer pick. He
does not use his arm to make all his plays.
He uses more of reading the defense. So it's interesting
that they, like a lot of reviews had Sam Donald's
much safer pick than Josh.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Yeah, I think everybody did. I remember saying, hey, take
Sam Darnald like pedigree or something. You know, yeah, plane
at USC. This other guy, Josh Allen plays at Wyoming.
And the thing is is I remember watching Josh Allen
at Wyoming and the previous year you're like, all right,
guy's pretty special. And then his last year there it

(29:21):
was like he's trying to make every play. But then
you realized that talent level wise, he had to make
more plays. He had to go above and beyond whereas
Sam Donald had talent around him at USC. That's the
harder part, I think when you're looking at quarterbacks and
you go, now, we're doing this to Rock Purty and

(29:42):
we're doing this to Tua. Oh, look at the talent.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Now.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
We never did this to Mahomes. We never went, well,
he's got Tyreek Hle and Travis Kelsey. He's got two
Hall of Famers there. We didn't do it to him,
not the way we're doing it to Brock Purty and Tua, Like, well,
look at the talent they've got around him. Okay, there's
a lot of quarterbacks who have had a lot of
talent around him. It's making it work. And I think

(30:08):
maybe it's unfair to do that. You know, brock Purty
is I mean, he led in QBR last year, if
you buy into that stat But every time somebody compliments
brock party, they always follow it. It feels like with yeah,
but look at the talent he's got on that roster.
He does Jalen Hurts, look at the talent he's got

(30:28):
on that roster. I don't know. Did people hold it
against him when he was going to get his contract extended,
Look at the talent he's got Quarterbacks need talent. Now,
they can develop talent. They can make somebody better than
what they are. But Mahomes has Hall of Fame coach,

(30:49):
Hall of Fame tight end, and he had a Hall
of Fame wide receiver in Tyreek Hill. Now do I
think Mahomes can make average players better than average? Absolutely,
just like Tom Brady did. Great quarterbacks can make other
players even better. And I thought Brady did an amazing
job his entire career. And you know, the irony is

(31:10):
the most talented offensive player he ever had. And they
didn't win the Super Bowl with Randy Moss. But I
do think we I mean, wait till Rock Party gets
sixty million dollars, people's heads are going to explode. But
if he continues to play this way, he's going to
get sixty million dollars.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
That's great.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
I know, that's great. Yes, Marv Oh. By the way, uh,
Chase Daniel and Diana Rossini talked about that on their
podcast and this is what they had to say.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
The next offseason, he's due for at least at least
a fifty five million dollar a year contract if he
plays the way he played the last two see.

Speaker 12 (31:52):
I agree with you about the fifty five million dollar
number for Rock Party. But we're going to see Dak
Prescott get paid sixty million dollars most likely, right, I
believe Dak Prescott will be the first quarterback to break
it and to get into that sixty number. So you're
telling me Rock Party is not going to come to
the table next year if he has a successful season,

(32:12):
if they make a deeper unto the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
It's going to be more. It's going to be more crazy.
Just because you're next up doesn't mean you have to
one up the previous contract. I mean, if I'm a GM,
I think you can't treat everybody the same of Yep,
you deserve more than Joe Burrow does. Rock Party doesn't

(32:35):
deserve more than Joe Burrow does, or Tua doesn't, or
Jordan Love doesn't or Dak doesn't. But they're going to
They already got it except for Tua. And you know,
to me, that felt like that's a smarter contract to signed.
I wouldn't have done it. I would have had him
play out this year and then franchised him and then

(32:56):
probably franchised him after that. I'd look at a three
year window because you'll have Tyreek Hill at the top
of his game. In Jalen Monnel, I don't think it's
I don't think it's. The potential for being a great
team is not there. I don't think their defense is great.
Offensive line is okay, But you have Tua and you

(33:16):
have those Tua receivers there and you can throw an
OBJ if you want to. But in three years with
all those salaries, how good is that team going to be?
And once again he doesn't win when he's playing in
cold weather, and you're gonna be playing the Jets, the Bills,

(33:37):
you're gonna be going in Buffalo. I mean, you're gonna
have Kansas City again, and unless you get home field
advantage throughout, I just don't see the Dolphins doing much.
They started out great, They're gonna be fun to watch,
but I think once it gets to you know, now,
we got to go on the road and beat a

(33:58):
quality team. That's where I have my day.

Speaker 3 (34:00):
Yeah, going back to brock Party, when he negotiates his contract,
he he can go into there and say to the
management in the GM of the forty nine ers, if
I'm the agent, my guy saved your job. You guys
traded everything for Trey Lance. He flamed out and you
stumbled into Brock party and his play allowed you all,
including the head coach, to keep their jobs. John Lynch, I.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
Mean, I don't know if you could say it that way,
I absolutely would. I don't know. I don't know if
you could say he saved your job.

Speaker 3 (34:28):
He makes the forty nine ers decision for Trey Lance
to be an afterthought of one of the worst trades
in recently.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
I agree, but you can't. I don't think you could.
You could state it that way. I think you could
do it in a more delicate way. Hey, surprised to
see you here because Mike guy saved your job like that,
but good to see you. Party was twelve and four.
I think you could go in there and go, hey,
we know his value, we know how he helped out

(34:55):
this team. You haven't paid him, and you know that
he is real. He is a great quarterback and he
should be paid. You know that. That would be that
that's my negotiation. I don't know what their option is. Hey,
you know what, We're gonna take mister irrelevant next year
and then uh, you know, we'll move on from Rock Purdy.

(35:16):
He's gonna get paid. Yeah, see why doesn't Rock Purdy
deserve the money because he has all this talent around him,
and he was mister irrelevant. I don't know of a
quarterback who shares more credit than he does. Or he
has to always got a coach, offensive minded coach. Oh,

(35:37):
he's got you know this tight end, he's got those receivers,
he's got the best running back in football. Always got
a good offensive line that it just goes along with
Rock Perdy. It's like a quarterback who's not taken in
the first round. It takes us a while before we go.
You know, Russell Wilson, he's pretty good. Or Dak he's
pretty good. Brady he's pretty good. He's mister irrelevant. And

(36:01):
I agree, should he face this? Who is getting this
in Miami? Jalen Hurt should get this in Philadelphia? But
brock Purty, if he has a brock Purty like season
like he had the two previous, he's gonna get paid,
Gonna get upwards a sixteen million dollars. Yes.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
Well, and being a seventh round draft pick, they only
have him for four years. They don't have the fifth
year option to use on him in this year. Brock
Purty's gonna make nine hundred and eighty five grand next year,
I'll make one point one million. Just to compare it
when Jordan Love was waiting for his money, he was
making like thirteen million last year, waiting for the big deal.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
But shouldn't this factor into the MVP when when you
look at what brock Purty does for you allows you
to do, He's He's as valuable, if not more so,
than any other quarterback. He doesn't cost you anything. You'll
get to bring back debo, you get to re sign
Christy McCaffrey. Well that's because your quarterback is making less

(36:58):
than a million dollars. I mean, make a break play
the day up next.

Speaker 10 (39:00):
Had a small gambling story to tell you. Okay, yeah, okay.
Well what I did was in twenty twenty two, before
the AFC Championship Game. Before that, I made just fifty
dollars to one hundred dollars bets. Well, I decided to
put one thousand dollars on the AFC Championship Game parlay

(39:20):
the Eagles and Kansas City to win. Boom that hit,
turned that into four thousand dollars, and then instuddenly put
that right back on the Chiefs four thousand dollars to
win the twenty twenty three Super Bowl. So last year
was pretty much my big I tried to call on
last week when you guys are talking gambling, but yeah,

(39:41):
last that was pretty much my biggest gambling hit ever.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
Well, congratulations, Chris, thanks for making us feel bad all

Speaker 11 (40:06):
In the spirit of the Olympics, this one for Fritzie
in particular, but for the guys to answer, which sport
would we want to see Fritzie competing. I mean, I
don't know if you guys know, but speed walking is
a sport and I think Fritzie could have a go
at it.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
You need to be pretty successful.

Speaker 11 (40:25):
But wanted to see what you guys thought would be
the best sport or the most entertaining sport for Fritzie
to compete in.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
So best sport for Ton Todd, what sport? What Olympic
sport do you think you could be competitive?

Speaker 4 (40:40):
Wow? I don't think there's any I hate to say that.

Speaker 13 (40:43):
If I guess if you trained me defense a little bit,
I know I couldn't do the table tennis, swimming, I
would drown. I'm not particularly fast or athletic as far
as gymnastics, So I don't know what's.

Speaker 2 (40:54):
Really you think you'd do well in that fencing helmet? Todd?

Speaker 13 (40:57):
Yeah, so you gotta scratch that one too.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
Get me out of here, Get me out of here,
Get out here.

Speaker 4 (41:04):
I think I'll just be a spectator, very softball.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
