Dan and the Danettes consider whether they’d rather win one gold medal of four silver medals as they discuss the latest results from Paris. And the Patriots are no longer pursuing Brandon Aiyuk, which is code for: Brandon Aiyuk doesn’t want to go to New England.

Sox hat.

Speaker 4 (00:16):
I was believed.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Yeah, you're the one who believed only me. See now,
no one cares about the White Sox. They won last night.
Now they're not relevant anymore. Wait, what if they start
a winning street. Nobody cares unless they win twenty one
in a row, No one's going to care.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Anything's possible.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Deep, they could have been relevant, they could have stayed bad,
but no, they ended up winning. And it sounded like
this last night.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
Everybody deserves a win after this streak.
Speaker 6 (00:44):
This could do it out to left field coming in,
Ben attending, and the streak is over. After twenty one
l's in a row. The White Sox come to the
West Coast and get their first win a long time.
Say it with me, south Side stand up?

first hour, what do we have?
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Uh, well, we do this one every four years, or
maybe even every two if we go winter summer, winter, summer,
winter summer. Would you rather have four silvers or one
gold but not metal in the other three you still
have four races or events as they were.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Okay, let's say I'm a swimmer and I have four
races and I end up with four silvers or one gold.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
When I'm gonna I'm gonna take four silvers.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah, yeah, Todd, Yeah, I think I'm gonna take four silvers.
But don't you want to be the best ever that for.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
One day you just said you didn't want to.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I'll take four silvers, okay.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Seating four silvers or one gold, one gold Marvin one gold.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Paul one gold, no doubt, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I'd rather be really, really good at a few races
instead of good in just one race.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
I'd rather I'll take the four silvers.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
Yes, don't you have more opportunities post Olympic career if
you're a gold medalist?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I guess sponsors, let's put it in our language here,
winning one Sports Emmy or being nominated five consecutive years
and not winning.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
And not winning. Yes, I'll take the one.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
No, I take I want to be I want to
be really good for five years in a row. We're
in the room, we're nominated. Those weren't even our best
five years of this show. I know, But we nominated
those a bunch. They have no idea. You think it
was sympathetic. I don't know what it was. Apparently, it
really is just how you edit the video.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
That is true.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
That is true the best years of this show. That
those were not the five best years even close. Okay,
but if we won one, even Jim Kelly would rather
have won Super Bowl or a silver medal four times.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
They don't.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
They don't give you second place medals, correct, But but
if they did, he essentially won the silver four years
in a row. Okay, I think he's taken the one gold.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Okay, would you rather finish second at the Masters or
second in the Olympics and you get a silver medal.
So you finish runner up at the Masters, you just
you don't get anything other than a paycheck, or you
get a silver medal playing golf, would you rather be
(05:13):
the runner up at Augusta or be Tommy Fleetwood who
got a silver metal.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
I'll take the silver medal. Yeah, I'll take that silver Okay,
all right, yes, Paul.
Speaker 8 (05:23):
The Olympics are the highest end of second place in
sports because you get something, you could show it off,
and to most people, it's still really awesome to the
casual person.
Speaker 9 (05:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, Like they don't give you a sweater at Augusta
if you finish second, they don't give you a you
know whatever, cuff links.
Speaker 8 (05:40):
At Wimbledon they give you like a smaller plate or
something like that, or a smaller trophy.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
You're probably making a hell of a lot more money though.
Finishing second true at any major golf event that I
am running an Olympic race.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Yeah, but you can't buy that memory of a silver medal.
You stand on the podium, get to experience the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
I could just sit on my boat and be like,
damn I almost won the Masters that time. Damn it.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Well, I would rather be relevant and have a highly
regarded show for five consecutive years than to win one
and never be nominated again.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
You want to be a one and Donner.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
I don't Asian and Brody the actor.
Speaker 8 (06:21):
Didn't you win one Best Actor Award?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Never nominated again? Was that the pianist? Wow? Careful? Yeah?
I know one.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
Wo n okay one?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
But how about if you are nominated for five Academy
Awards Best Actor? I was in five movies nominated, Right,
that's a career. We're having a career career year career career. Yes, Marvin,
I'd rather be three six Mafia than Diane Warren. Dian
(06:54):
WARN's been nominated for Best Original Song eighty five times
at the Academy Awards.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
I was totally just gonna say that three six Mafia
one one.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
When they won, I went, oh my god, there goes
to the Academy three six Mafia.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Yes, Paul, But.
Speaker 8 (07:09):
If you're an Olympic swimmer or track and field person,
you have four silvers, they're up on your wall. It's
a constant reminder of you didn't win any of those.
The one gold if it's on your wall. You forget
about the three events you did in podium.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yeah, I just I want to be great every year.
I don't want to be great one time.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
M that's incorrect. The somebody else was great, you were
almost great, almost great, somebody else you were almost great,
somebody else was great every single one of those times.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
I want to be almost great for five consecutive years,
as opposed to being great for one year.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Okay, Well, if the question was I could have a
silver Olympics in five straight Summer Games, yes, okay, Now
that's a way different thing than yeah, you don't usually
get to do that in the Olympics. True, yeah, you
know whereas where we've done this show for many.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Many, many years in a row. Yes, yeah, yes, I
want to be relevant. I want to be in the
conversation instead of who wanted that one year? Oh the
Dan Patrick Show, whatever.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Happened to that? See, I don't want to do that.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
I wanted to be every year where when they mentioned,
you know, Baseball Tonight or whatever whatever show beats us
that were at least mentioned they show us.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Was it that lost that year to Baseball Tonight, that
lost to them?
Speaker 10 (08:28):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Yeah, I remember all of those Dan Patrick show. Well,
they're going to remember that we were nominated because we're
there every single complain about it constantly.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
We do. We never win one.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, we're going to win one in my last year
because it will be a sympathetic sports em lifetime achievement probably.
So all right, so that's one question today. What else
do you have to That's.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
The big one right now? Okay, it's obviously none of
us agree on anything. I wish that I could go
back four years on Twitter and see what our votes
were last year. I sure don't know what the heck is. Okay,
we could also go with, uh, well I have to
word this better, but who pulled out Patriots?
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Well, don't pause.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
I have to word that better.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yes, actually nail it, No, don't pause.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Pulled out of that deal?
Speaker 6 (09:23):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Even then, who pulled out of the proposed trade? Like,
you can't be whole who pulled out the Patriots or
the forty nine?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
You got to practice safe trading with a bus.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
You don't just think of baseball, thank you, ton?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, yeah, there was, there's there's conflicting reports on the
Niners with the Patriots, and you know, did the Patriots
offer from what I read, they were going to make
him a top Brandon Nyuk was going to be a
top five paid receiver. And then all of a sudden,
you know, today Patriots have pulled out of the running
(10:02):
for Brandon Nyuk. And I'm thinking, okay, wait a minute.
You were in the running yesterday, you pulled out of
the running today. And from the Niners perspective is Brandon
Nayuk did not want to go to the Patriots. That's
the story, but then it was spun. Adam Schefter said
that the Patriots have decided that they're moving on. They're
not interested in Brandon Nayuk. That usually happens when the
(10:25):
other person is not interested in you. Like there's a
lot of women that I decided that I was not
going to date when I was in high school and college,
but they weren't going to date me. Just saying, you know,
if we're dealing with semantics here, forty nine ers were
willing to trade him to the Patriots. The Patriots were
willing to make him a top five paid wide receiver.
(10:46):
Brandon Nyuk, who has the final say, said I don't
want to go to New England. Who wants to go
to New England right now.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Nobody.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
So the language there was a little tricky and all
of a sudden, the it's like when somebody's up for
something and then they decide that they're going to pull out,
take their name out of running consideration. But Chefty said
that the Patriots were not interested in Brandon Nayuk because
Brandon Nyuk is not interested in them. That's really the story.
(11:17):
Now the Steelers are back in apparently, and the Cleveland
Browns are there as well. This feels like this has
to happen here really really soon. But also it's tricky
because you have to agree to a trade, but then
IUK has to agree to a trade and the terms
(11:38):
you have to give them a new contract. You got
to put all of that in the blender and go, okay,
here we go. We're going to trade you too. Do
you want to go there? Yeah? Okay, we got to
make sure we get compensation back and then they have
to be able to negotiate a contract with you and
normally doesn't happen. So very very very tricky there, all right,
(11:58):
any other pole question that you're thinking of first hour Seaton,
I think we're going to put those two up for
Hour one. Okay, we'll see how hour two goes. Okay,
final hour of the show. We're going to talk to
a guy who is the sculptor for the Pro Football
Hall of Fame. He does a lot of the bust. Now,
his last name is bus b us Well, so bus
(12:19):
Well his job is to sculpt bust. How he did
not put a T and his name is Blair Bust Dwell.
I mean, come on, it's there on a T for you.
So we're going to talk to him. He has done
quite a few of these busts and we're just kind
of curious some of the stories there behind the scenes.
(12:42):
If you're going to have your bust be done by
this man, do you have any say in this?
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Dion?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I remember wanted to have a bandana on his bust,
but they said no, you couldn't. I don't know who
has the final word on your bust. The final say
is the commissioner involved in the US You have what
kind of haircut?
Speaker 4 (13:02):
You know?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Steve McMichael had flowing here on his bus. Look great,
But so he'll join us coming up in the final
hour of the program. All right, well take a break,
just getting started on this Wednesday edition. So you got
the Minister of Humor. Fritzi is here, Seaton, Marv, Big White,
Sox fan, Paulie and yours Truly. We're back after this
and the Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
There's a story that came out overnight by ESPN and
has a lot to do with the dysfunction of the
Philadelphia Eagles last year, and this in particular circles Nick Sirianni,
the head coach, and quarterback Jalen Hurts, and former offensive
coordinator Brian Johnson. Apparently, Jalen Hurts was going rogue sometimes,
(14:27):
And the game they point out was mid December Monday
Night Football. The Eagles down twenty to seventeen, thirteen seconds
to go with the ball near midfield and they needed
an intermediate gain to get in field goal range. Instead,
Jalen Hurts attempt at a downfield throw to AJ Brown
that was picked off, and Sirianni took the heat, which
(14:50):
only intensified when he said part of the thinking was
that they were hoping to draw a pass interference call,
a bizarre explanation that drew even more criticism, but it
proved to be a cover he was covering for Jalen
Hurts and AJ Brown. Brown revealed that he and Hurts
improvised and went on our own quote on the play,
(15:14):
but sources with knowledge of the situation say it didn't
happen all the time. It was a prime example of
Jalen Hurts deviating from the script. Now they do point
out that maybe Jalen Hurts doesn't give Nick Sirianni enough credit,
maybe doesn't have respect for his head coach. And they
were a mess at the end of last year. Remember
when they started out, they were great, looked like, hey,
(15:37):
super Bowl, here we come again, and then they all
fell apart, and we wondered if Nick Sirianni was going
to keep his job this offseason. You get rid of
some of your coordinators or they leave, and now all
of a sudden, you're still there with Jalen Hurts. But
it's a mess because that's a lot of talent on
that team, and all of a sudden, you're going rogue.
(15:58):
At the line of scrimmage. All you have to do
is get in field goal ranged, tie the game, and
then you decide, I think the code word for this
some teams use this, you go gangster, and that means
you're going to go rogue. You're going to decide to
do something thirteen seconds to go get in field goal range,
and then you decide to go for a home run.
Nick Sirianni says, oh, we thought we were going to
(16:19):
get maybe a pass interference call. That's not what you
want in that situation. He was trying to cover for
Jalen Hurts, and now all of a sudden, the cracks
that were there have become a little bit larger with
the Philadelphia Eagles. Yeah, Paulin, doesn't this feel.
Speaker 8 (16:35):
Like one of those stories where if the Eagles had
won a lot to end the season, and be look
at these guys. He trusts his quarterback to let him freelance.
The results make the story sound so much worse.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Well, they were ten and one to start the season
and then one in six down the stretch. Staff changes
a lot of questions. Dysfunctional. I mean, this is a
mess right now.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Now.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Maybe they've right at the ship here, but Nick Sirianni's
on the hot seat. They brought in Kellen Moore and
he's now the offensive coordinator. But maybe that can be
a buffer between head coach and quarterback, and Kellen Moore
can get them back to where they were. I mean,
you got Sakwon Barkley, still have a good offensive line,
(17:20):
you got good receivers as well, still have a respectable defense.
I mean, they should be one of the top three
teams in the NFC. They certainly were to start the season.
Down the stretch. You go one in six with that talent.
I was shocked that Nick Sirianni kept his job. He
will not keep his job if they have anywhere near
the kind of season they had last year. Yes, Marv.
Speaker 7 (17:43):
In the NFC, the forty nine Ers, Eagles and Lions.
Are those the only three teams in that conference that
are super Bowl or bust?
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Super Bowl?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Well, the Cowboys are always super Bowl or busted. But
I don't know, like what does bust mean that if
you don't get there, then you had as.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
A failure that season is a failure.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
No, Okay, well then that doesn't apply to the Cowboys
because it just feels like as long as you're talking
about the Cowboys, it's a successful season and people have
been talking about them and continue to talk about them.
I would say the Niners definitely. If you don't get
to the super Bowl, that's a disappointment. I think the
Lions they were a great story last year. Are they
(18:28):
Are they still a great team? Are they a great team?
Let me put it that way. Is green Bay super
Bowl or bust? Which I don't think they are. But
if they don't get to maybe the conference title game,
green Bay fans may say that's a disappointment here, you know,
considering how they ended up last year. I would say
Detroit and San Francisco, you should get to the NFC
(18:51):
title gay definitely for the Niners, you better get to
the super Bowl or and you know, it depends on
what happens with Brandon and I does that affect rock
Perty's contract with whatever they do or don't do this year.
But I would say those two definitely in the NFC. Man,
there are high expectations for Green Bay. It feels like
(19:13):
they're just a little too lofty. They were a great
story and it was almost one of those Wow green
Bay is coming on strong. But now everybody knows Jordan
Love got paid green Bay they're not an underdog.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
Yes, I feel like Jalen Hurts this year is going
to have a monster year MVP caliber. I don't know
if he's going to put up MVP numbers. See I
need him to.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
I need him to.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Manage a game, call a game, be a quarterback, not
just a couple of singular great plays. I think that's
what they missed last year in the last two months
of the season. Yeah, well that would certainly help out
his relationship, I guess with his head coach and Kellen
Moore would probably get a lot of credit there.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Yes, yes, because some of this story is so odd
to me because it's like if you're reading through it
and you're like, he wanted to throw more sort of
like intermediate passes, over the middle, and Sirianni wouldn't do that.
He had more like of a vertical pass it away,
which feels like the opposite the quarterback might be like, nah, man,
let's just hit a home run here.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Well, in that instance on that game against Seattle, it
was an intermediate throw to get into field goal range
that I don't know, you know, the play calling for
the entire year. I do know with those receivers and
that tight end, I would think that I would be
able to take some shots downfield.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
But it does feel like.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
They're going to be waiting blood in the water with
this Philadelphia media when it comes to the Eagles, like
lost back to back games, or they're feeling there be
we're gonna be studying body language here, We're gonna be
watching on the sidelines, and I think that they've opened
the door for this in Philadelphia.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
It feels like hitting AJ Brown over the middle more
often is a winning formula. I'm just gonna I'm not
a football expert, but I'm just gonna throw that out there. Yeah,
if the quarterback and the wide receiver are on the
same page and we're hitting that dude, I don't know,
maybe that wins.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Paulie's right, though. This is what we do in the media,
so we can spin this. If Philadelphia is six and
one down the stretch and we're talking about Jalen Hurts
going off script, then we're gonna go. Man, Nick Siriani
trust Jalen Hurts. What a great relationship between those two.
Speaker 10 (21:41):
Man.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
You gotta have confidence, Yeah, gotta have confidence in your quarterback.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
It seems still just as odd to me though, as like,
I know we're ten in one. If I'm Jalen Hurts,
I'm saying to the coach, I know we're ten in one.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
But.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
This isn't working. Let's try this. That doesn't really make
a lot of sense to me. They're kind of coach coach. Yeah, look,
ten and one is great and all, but it's not
It can't be better. Yeah, it's ten and one, it's
not eleven and all. I just don't know. It doesn't
add up.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
I would like to call my own number if I could, please. Hey,
I don't want to be known as a game manager.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Coach. You got us this far, Okay, I'll handle it
from here, thank you. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
One and six down the stretch, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 8 (22:25):
Marvin was saying super Bowl or bust the Lions.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
I went back. It was the other day.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
They had the NFC title game on Niners Lions and
you're watching it. It was the start of the third
quarter and the Lions are up twenty four to seven.
They're cruising up and down the field, throwing short passes,
and I'm sitting there watching a back going So this
team is not going to go to the super Bowl
in the next hour. It was fascinating. They give it
five straight scores after that fourth and one stuff, or
they didn't kick it. We don't have to rehash it,
(22:50):
but that team was going to the super Bowl. Their
fans were probably googling flights. Yeah, midway through the third quarter,
it's I think, oh, I don't I know they have
a window.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
They've added ten. But that's a fascinating team this year.
If they regress.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
And I get this weird feeling they're going to a
little bit, somebody's going to come out of nowhere. But
I don't know who that team is going to be.
It's going to be one of those where you go, oh,
I should have seen this. That is usually the case,
like green Bay. I thought green Bay was going to
be better that earlier than they were. And then all
of a sudden, I'm like, maybe it's not this year.
(23:25):
Then all of a sudden, here they came. And then
all of a sudden they go into Dallas. Then all
of a sudden they're up. But twenty seven nothing, and
you go, oh my god, we didn't see this. And
you know they go toe to toe, but you also
have you know, the forty nine ers.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
They're there, they should be there.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
But with Detroit, I don't know, it feels like those
expectations are so long, Like we got to get to
the conference title game. We got to be playing in
the conference title game again. That's it's tough, tough first
place schedule. That's why you know the NFL loves parody.
(24:03):
That's why you have teams, two or three teams every
year that go, we're going to make that really big
leap here like Green Bay did, Detroit has, San Francisco
has been there. But you know that's the true greatness
is when Kansas City has a first play schedule and
they're still there every single year no matter what. And
(24:25):
I don't know it feels that way again, like who's
going against Kansas City in the AFC this year.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Is anybody like, are you all in on that?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
The Texans feel like the Green Bay Packers, where you're like, man,
I didn't see that, and then all of a sudden
you saw that, and you're like, man, that quarterback's really good.
But are you ready for primetime? Because now it's different.
Instead of playing one o'clock games, now you're playing the
four thirty Big window on Fox or Sunday Night. Now,
(24:55):
all of a sudden, Hey, everybody wants to talk to you. Now,
all of a sudden, you got to explo things. Now
everything is under a microscope. Gotta be ready. When you're
playing a one o'clock game and all of a sudden
you're winning, you know, we're going, oh wow, Texans, that's nice.
They got some offense there. Oh CJ stround, that's nice.
It's like the difference between you having a nice puppy,
(25:17):
a cute puppy, or that dog that's going to protect you.
Look at this little guy, he's cute, Come here, come here,
and then you have the that's different. That's that's the
team that's got to be there. That's the that's the
Kansas City Chiefs. Look at this little cute little puppy
(25:38):
called the Lions. You're a little puppy. Yea excute?
Speaker 8 (25:41):
Come here, Yeah, Poe, I have a two leg parlay,
pie in the face bet I've been thinking about and
since you guys brought up the sports I'll throw it
out there. It's a two part parlay. If I lose
a bet, all four of you simultaneously can hit me
in the face of the pie. The Lions win the
super Bowl, we win the Sports Emmy.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Okay, that's it.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
So the Lions have to win the super Bowl first.
That's the first leg of the parlay. The second leg
of the parlay is we win the next Sports Emmy Award?
Speaker 4 (26:08):
What next? March April? Okay, I'll take that.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Ben all right, Yeah, we're not winning Will too, Yeah,
anybody else? Todd, You're so nobody thinks we're going to
win the Sports Emmy. Just Paulie, Who is it more?
Who has a better chance? Yes, we win the Sports
Emmy or the.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Positive of one of those two things.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
We're not winning the Sports Emmy. Okay.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
I see the Troit holding up the Lombardi trump.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
That's not a good sign.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
He I'm right there with you. But what do you
win if you make this great call, Paul, I go.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
To Lions pray. How about I give you the Sports Emmy?
Speaker 9 (26:45):
Oh to keep?
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Yeah, well, let's not do anything crazy. Okay, I think
we all can order a year. Well, no, I have
to you guys can order. I have to pay for
that order. So the hard part is not ordering it that.
The hard part is winning. And then I have to
pick up the tab for the Sports em.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Oh, I'll think of it. Okay, that's a fun one. Yeah, yeah,
but everybody took the Beth.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
You guys yelled at Yeah, I got that one.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
We were we were willing to do it on us
winning the Sports Emmy. Let it the Lions win in
the Super Bowl.
Speaker 8 (27:20):
It felt like the Lions maybe learned something from last
year and then like you know that, yeah, don't blow
a twenty four to seven lead, but they maybe they
won't do that.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Yeah, well that's fun and got some stuff riding on
it here.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
Mike in New York, I Mike, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9 (27:38):
Thank you Mike from Ellenville. Thanks for Steven the call
and to quote that Simon and garfocal wrong. Where have
you gone? Joe Montana? I know you guys are talking
about the Niners going to the super Bowl. But if
they do go, they will not lose four consecutive and
four consecutive years, but they will have lost four consecutive
(27:59):
Super Bowls one and three since show Montana.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Oh okay, all right, Mike, where have you gone Joe
Montana instead of Joe Demisha?
Speaker 5 (28:08):
Nailed it?
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Yeah, all right, nailed it. Maser in Iowa, Hey Mazer,
thank you, Good.
Speaker 12 (28:15):
Morning, DP you got and good morning to the back round.
You guys do a fine job. Here's a full question
for you. Would you rather be Mike Trout or Robert
or and one bonus one? Would you rather work on
a pretty famous radio show it's really small hands or
have an everyday job in normal sized hands?
Speaker 5 (28:32):
Fair?
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Okay, thank you. Well let's start out with Marvin small hands?
Would you rather have a regular job rather be me?
I'm gonna keep these You're doing well?
Speaker 4 (28:45):
You're doing well?
Speaker 9 (28:46):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (28:47):
You are?
Speaker 5 (28:48):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Any, Well, Marvin's the only one who can answer that
because he's the one with smallest hands.
Speaker 7 (28:54):
See has a massive bear clause.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Yeah, okay, what was the former small hands guy?
Speaker 4 (29:01):
I can talk about it?
Speaker 8 (29:01):
Would you rather be Mike Trout or Robert orry that
old question.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
Uh, I'm gonna be Mike Trount. Oh, I'm gonna be
Mike Trount. What he's been one of the greatest.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
He was the greatest baseball player for quite a you know,
a few years there, three MVPs every single day. Great
Robert Rory was great, like, you know, how many minutes
in his career? Five minutes when.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
You know you'd actually add up the total amount that
a baseball player is actually in motion too, and in
by Mike Trout might be five minutes as well.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Robert Ory had like five minutes of great basketball in
his career. Mike Trout has had years of greatness. I
would I would be Mike Trout.
Speaker 8 (29:52):
Yes, Dan Marino maybe the greatest quarterback I've ever witnessed
play football. That's just at the skill, at the position
he has to catch and ask questions about not winning
a title, and he got to a Super Bowl, he
was in one. Mike Trout hasn't even gotten to the
second round of the playoffs, and he's imagine having that
but not even close.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
I have no problem being Dan Marino. Oh, yes, but
that's what I'm say.
Speaker 8 (30:15):
Dan Marino is leaps and bounds more accomplished down the
road as a team player than Mike Trout was.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
And one great year that he went to the Super
Bowl his second year in the league. What did they
do after that? I mean, you're right, Mike Trout went
to one playoff series against Kansas City. But Mike Trout
was the best player in baseball for three of those
years where he's the MVP and he was runner up
or finished in the top five. What four other times?
Speaker 8 (30:44):
Dan Marino's played in three fewer Major League Baseball playoff
games than Mike Trout.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
Yes, Marvin, I'm sure Dan Marino's played in a couple
of conference championship games, so his team at least went deep.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Okay, so you guys want to be Dan Marino not
Mike Trout. Oh easily, he didn't.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
He didn't win anything.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
We're talking about Mike Trouder Da Marina.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Both they didn't win anything. Mike Trout is one of
the greatest of all time. What he's done with three
m vps.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
Huh?
Speaker 8 (31:17):
Damn Marino made ten postseasons as the quarterback of the Dolphin.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
Isn't the question really, like if you just changed the
amphis emphasis? Like, what has he done with three m
VPSA you said, what he's done with three m vps?
But what has he done with three MVPs? Nothing? Yeah,
he kind of has a whole career. That did he
live up to his end of the bargain. Not my angels,
not my fault. The rest of these guys suck, but
(31:40):
for a career, but for a decade, he lived up
to his end of the bargain. He was MVP, He
put up MVP numbers. The Angels they failed it. So,
I look, do we.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Give credit too much credit sometimes at certain positions, certainly
the quarterback too much blame?
Speaker 4 (31:59):
Absolutely?
Speaker 5 (32:00):
I know they've both had I mean, great careers. So
it's weird to be like these conversations are always so
odd because it's like, of course, Mike Trout is awesome,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
It's not like we're nitpicking. Is what we're doing. That's
what you're doing.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Both kind of what we do for a living, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
But we accomplished a line in that segment, So right,
there might be able to say to the sports semi people.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
Or they might say, would you rather segment for the Emmy? Yes?
Speaker 10 (32:28):
All right?
Speaker 2 (32:29):
How many people are bringing up Dan Marino and comparing
him to Mike Trout, Nobody, no, no, no, no, Buddy
Sports big shot, Bob thrown in there, yes, Robert or
or oh jungle U. I would rather be Mike Trout
than Bob, Bobby Orry or Bob Orr. All right, let
(32:50):
me take a break. Got our play of the day
up next.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio in the iHeartRadio Wap.
Speaker 8 (33:03):
Oh my God.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
The play plays of the day.
Speaker 6 (33:09):
Play this is the play of the day.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Check this out.
Speaker 6 (33:14):
The tumble is on the line for Julian Alfred Cold
is on the line for Gabby Thomas.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Copritten though she has to get away for Gabby Thomas
to have any chance, she hasn't done that.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
Gabby Thomas is a control of Condy. Gavin Thomas comes
up the time.
Speaker 8 (33:32):
Gavin Thomas Gemmy Thomas is a chip.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
That's courtesy of NBC Sports. Auto Bolden, who was on
the call. Former track star join us coming up in
about twenty minutes from now. Uh US teammate Ritney Brown
finished third for her first Olympic medal, but Thomas is
the first American since Alison Felix in twenty twelve to
win the Olympic gold in two hundred meters. That's your
(34:02):
play of the day, brought to you by Express Employment
Professionals provide the workforce you need. Let Express help you
and they never charge your fee. Go to expresspros dot
com find the location nearest you expresspros dot com. Also,
I mentioned this a little while ago that I believe
(34:23):
the first American from Harvard to win a gold medal
in track and field. Don't know if there's a long
list of Harvard grads, but she was great yesterday.
Speaker 4 (34:37):
That was never in doubt.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
And you know, sometimes you can watch somebody after a
race and go, oh man, they're huffing and puffing. It
looks like she's just going from one classroom to another. Yeah, yeah,
I got the economics here. I'm going to go there.
But very very impressive yesterday. And photogenic, I mean she is.
She jumps off the screen, very striking. She could run
(35:00):
for office. Yes, she has a gold, to silver and
a bronze. That's a pretty full up trophy case. And
you know, she got the silver and the bronze in
Tokyo at the last Olympics. So you have to imagine
that the pressure to win a gold at this time,
or at least the hope of winning one, was magnified
(35:20):
by you know, a million and in the field is
the fastest woman on the planet right right from Saint Lucia.
Speaker 8 (35:28):
Yes, Pom, there should be a rule that you could
either win a gold medal in life or graduate from Harvard.
You can't do both. That's really like almost like hoarding.
You know, I'm really really far from both.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
Believe me. Okay, what would you rather do?
Speaker 8 (35:43):
Graduate from Harvard like my child? No, you me gold medal.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
Marvin gold medal, Todd.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
I think I'll be a Harvard graduate.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
I know a lot of people more people are Harvard
graduates and gold medalist. But I don't know. I think
I'm gonna go home.
Speaker 5 (36:00):
Jeez, that's a tough one. Uh. I think maybe Harvard,
got admit, I think I think maybe Harvard.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
I think I'm gonna go gold medal, going to go gold.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Now, if I said your gold was not in a
headline sport like it was in biathlon, yes.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
I'll just say. If I could go from failing out
of West Virginia to graduate at Harvard like this. Uh yeah,
I'm gonna take that upgrade.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
Quick silver or Dartmouth.
Speaker 5 (36:28):
Ya ok A bronze go to Brown pass Vale, Yeah,
bronze or Brown University.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
Yeah, old question.
Speaker 5 (36:38):
Classic.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
All right, So we'll talk to the former Olympian now
working for NBC, Auto Bolden, who has four medals, no gold,
so we could ask him our pole question.
Speaker 10 (36:49):
Here.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Let me see Cindy in North Carolina. Hi, Cindy, what's
on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (36:54):
Hi? Dan Lock times Dan of yours? So I just
wanted to kind of circle back to the fifteen hundred.
I used to run fifteen hundred and three thousand in
high school and college. He could time me with a
sun dial. But that was the That was the greatest
race I've ever seen. And it's what the Olympics represent.
(37:17):
The unpredictability. Right, These two guys who were very salty
with each other, you know, had they traded insults, and
they thought it was the race between the two of them,
and then this underdog comes in and just blows everything up,
and I just think that's what the whole Olympics.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Yeah, present Cole Hecker, he's from Indianapolis. I think he
Hawker he went to Oregon but ends up winning, and
they forgot about him. They allowed him to go inside,
and they just slipped right by the two favorites while
they're they're worried about each other, and then Cole just
slips in ends up winning the fifteen hundred meters.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
It was great. It's fun because they get their moment.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
All this time that they spend and they train and
don't even know if they're going to have that moment
their race is going to be shown, or how they end.
Speaker 5 (38:09):
Up finishing, and then you end up winning a goal.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
You surprise everybody, maybe you surprise yourself, but you get
your moment. You'll always always have that moment, and that's
that's special. That's great. Michael and fort Wayne. Hey, Mike,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 10 (38:26):
Dan? Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 9 (38:28):
Let me ask you a quick question.
Speaker 10 (38:30):
Who do you think had a franchise that did them dirtier?
Speaker 4 (38:34):
Mike Trout or Andrew Luck? Uh?
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Well, it's systemic failure on both of those. I just
didn't understand why the Colts didn't invest in a better
offensive line. You spent the money on Andrew Luck, and
then I kept saying, you're going to drive him out
of football, and that's what happened. All of a sudden,
You're getting hit constantly in surgeries in and you lose
(39:01):
your love for the game.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
And that's what Andrew Luck did.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
The Angels tried, you know, because they got Albert Poohols.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
I mean they were at least trying. They just did it.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Never felt like they matched up with good pitching and
good hitting. I would say the Colts, because the Colts
drove Andrew Luck out of the game. He lost his
love for the game because they didn't protect him. So
I would side with that. George in Texas, George, good morning.
What's on your mind today?
Speaker 4 (39:36):
Hey?
Speaker 10 (39:36):
Dan, I'm just wondering do you think the Steelers are
a victim of their own mythology? Do they hang on
to players and coaches too long? Because I don't think
Tomlin would get seventeen years. What's the playoff record he's
got at another franchise.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Well, this is an organization that does honor. They are
bare loyal. I mean, if you say, my coach is
going to give us a winning record every year, I
don't know if I'd look at that and say we're underachieving,
because I think it's really hard to do that for
as long as he's He's got a Hall of Fame
career elsewhere with a different owner maybe, but he's got
(40:23):
a very loyal owner. I mean, they stay with their coaches.
Chuck Nole, you know, stayed with him. Did they stay
with him too long? Bill Cower? And now I have Mike.
I mean it's almost like the Green Bay Packers finding
quarterbacks that you know, do they produce? Do they produce
as high as we think they should? Their playoff records
(40:43):
aren't as good as they probably should be. Yes, you
could probably make a comparison that the Packers finding their
quarterbacks the Steelers finding their head coaches.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
There all right.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
One hour in the Books, Otto Bolden will join us.
He's been on the call for the Track and Field

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Yeah, you're the one who believed only me. See now,
no one cares about the White Sox. They won last night.
Now they're not relevant anymore. Wait, what if they start
a winning street. Nobody cares unless they win twenty one
in a row, No one's going to care.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Anything's possible.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Deep, they could have been relevant, they could have stayed bad,
but no, they ended up winning. And it sounded like
this last night.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
Everybody deserves a win after this streak.
Speaker 6 (00:44):
This could do it out to left field coming in,
Ben attending, and the streak is over. After twenty one

first hour, what do we have?
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Uh, well, we do this one every four years, or
maybe even every two if we go winter summer, winter, summer,
winter summer. Would you rather have four silvers or one
gold but not metal in the other three you still
have four races or events as they were.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Okay, let's say I'm a swimmer and I have four
races and I end up with four silvers or one gold.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
When I'm gonna I'm gonna take four silvers.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah, yeah, Todd, Yeah, I think I'm gonna take four silvers.
But don't you want to be the best ever that for.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
One day you just said you didn't want to.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I'll take four silvers, okay.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Seating four silvers or one gold, one gold Marvin one gold.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Paul one gold, no doubt, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I'd rather be really, really good at a few races
instead of good in just one race.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
I'd rather I'll take the four silvers.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
Yes, don't you have more opportunities post Olympic career if
you're a gold medalist?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I guess sponsors, let's put it in our language here,
winning one Sports Emmy or being nominated five consecutive years
and not winning.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
And not winning. Yes, I'll take the one.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
No, I take I want to be I want to
be really good for five years in a row. We're
in the room, we're nominated. Those weren't even our best
five years of this show. I know, But we nominated
those a bunch. They have no idea. You think it
was sympathetic. I don't know what it was. Apparently, it
really is just how you edit the video.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
That is true.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
That is true the best years of this show. That
those were not the five best years even close. Okay,
but if we won one, even Jim Kelly would rather
have won Super Bowl or a silver medal four times.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
They don't.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
They don't give you second place medals, correct, But but
if they did, he essentially won the silver four years
in a row. Okay, I think he's taken the one gold.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Okay, would you rather finish second at the Masters or
second in the Olympics and you get a silver medal.
So you finish runner up at the Masters, you just
you don't get anything other than a paycheck, or you
get a silver medal playing golf, would you rather be
(05:13):
the runner up at Augusta or be Tommy Fleetwood who
got a silver metal.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
I'll take the silver medal. Yeah, I'll take that silver Okay,
all right, yes, Paul.
Speaker 8 (05:23):
The Olympics are the highest end of second place in
sports because you get something, you could show it off,
and to most people, it's still really awesome to the
casual person.
Speaker 9 (05:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, Like they don't give you a sweater at Augusta
if you finish second, they don't give you a you
know whatever, cuff links.
Speaker 8 (05:40):
At Wimbledon they give you like a smaller plate or
something like that, or a smaller trophy.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
You're probably making a hell of a lot more money though.
Finishing second true at any major golf event that I
am running an Olympic race.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Yeah, but you can't buy that memory of a silver medal.
You stand on the podium, get to experience the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
I could just sit on my boat and be like,
damn I almost won the Masters that time. Damn it.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Well, I would rather be relevant and have a highly
regarded show for five consecutive years than to win one
and never be nominated again.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
You want to be a one and Donner.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
I don't Asian and Brody the actor.
Speaker 8 (06:21):
Didn't you win one Best Actor Award?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Never nominated again? Was that the pianist? Wow? Careful? Yeah?
I know one.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
Wo n okay one?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
But how about if you are nominated for five Academy
Awards Best Actor? I was in five movies nominated, Right,
that's a career. We're having a career career year career career. Yes, Marvin,
I'd rather be three six Mafia than Diane Warren. Dian
(06:54):
WARN's been nominated for Best Original Song eighty five times
at the Academy Awards.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
I was totally just gonna say that three six Mafia
one one.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
When they won, I went, oh my god, there goes
to the Academy three six Mafia.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Yes, Paul, But.
Speaker 8 (07:09):
If you're an Olympic swimmer or track and field person,
you have four silvers, they're up on your wall. It's
a constant reminder of you didn't win any of those.
The one gold if it's on your wall. You forget
about the three events you did in podium.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yeah, I just I want to be great every year.
I don't want to be great one time.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
M that's incorrect. The somebody else was great, you were
almost great, almost great, somebody else you were almost great,
somebody else was great every single one of those times.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
I want to be almost great for five consecutive years,
as opposed to being great for one year.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Okay, Well, if the question was I could have a
silver Olympics in five straight Summer Games, yes, okay, Now
that's a way different thing than yeah, you don't usually
get to do that in the Olympics. True, yeah, you
know whereas where we've done this show for many.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Many, many years in a row. Yes, yeah, yes, I
want to be relevant. I want to be in the
conversation instead of who wanted that one year? Oh the
Dan Patrick Show, whatever.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Happened to that? See, I don't want to do that.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
I wanted to be every year where when they mentioned,
you know, Baseball Tonight or whatever whatever show beats us
that were at least mentioned they show us.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Was it that lost that year to Baseball Tonight, that
lost to them?
Speaker 10 (08:28):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Yeah, I remember all of those Dan Patrick show. Well,
they're going to remember that we were nominated because we're
there every single complain about it constantly.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
We do. We never win one.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, we're going to win one in my last year
because it will be a sympathetic sports em lifetime achievement probably.
So all right, so that's one question today. What else
do you have to That's.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
The big one right now? Okay, it's obviously none of
us agree on anything. I wish that I could go
back four years on Twitter and see what our votes
were last year. I sure don't know what the heck is. Okay,
we could also go with, uh, well I have to
word this better, but who pulled out Patriots?
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Well, don't pause.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
I have to word that better.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yes, actually nail it, No, don't pause.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Pulled out of that deal?
Speaker 6 (09:23):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Even then, who pulled out of the proposed trade? Like,
you can't be whole who pulled out the Patriots or
the forty nine?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
You got to practice safe trading with a bus.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
You don't just think of baseball, thank you, ton?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, yeah, there was, there's there's conflicting reports on the
Niners with the Patriots, and you know, did the Patriots
offer from what I read, they were going to make
him a top Brandon Nyuk was going to be a
top five paid receiver. And then all of a sudden,
you know, today Patriots have pulled out of the running
(10:02):
for Brandon Nyuk. And I'm thinking, okay, wait a minute.
You were in the running yesterday, you pulled out of
the running today. And from the Niners perspective is Brandon
Nayuk did not want to go to the Patriots. That's
the story, but then it was spun. Adam Schefter said
that the Patriots have decided that they're moving on. They're
not interested in Brandon Nayuk. That usually happens when the
(10:25):
other person is not interested in you. Like there's a
lot of women that I decided that I was not
going to date when I was in high school and college,
but they weren't going to date me. Just saying, you know,
if we're dealing with semantics here, forty nine ers were
willing to trade him to the Patriots. The Patriots were
willing to make him a top five paid wide receiver.
(10:46):
Brandon Nyuk, who has the final say, said I don't
want to go to New England. Who wants to go
to New England right now.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Nobody.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
So the language there was a little tricky and all
of a sudden, the it's like when somebody's up for
something and then they decide that they're going to pull out,
take their name out of running consideration. But Chefty said
that the Patriots were not interested in Brandon Nayuk because
Brandon Nyuk is not interested in them. That's really the story.
(11:17):
Now the Steelers are back in apparently, and the Cleveland
Browns are there as well. This feels like this has
to happen here really really soon. But also it's tricky
because you have to agree to a trade, but then
IUK has to agree to a trade and the terms
(11:38):
you have to give them a new contract. You got
to put all of that in the blender and go, okay,
here we go. We're going to trade you too. Do
you want to go there? Yeah? Okay, we got to
make sure we get compensation back and then they have
to be able to negotiate a contract with you and
normally doesn't happen. So very very very tricky there, all right,
(11:58):
any other pole question that you're thinking of first hour Seaton,
I think we're going to put those two up for
Hour one. Okay, we'll see how hour two goes. Okay,
final hour of the show. We're going to talk to
a guy who is the sculptor for the Pro Football
Hall of Fame. He does a lot of the bust. Now,
his last name is bus b us Well, so bus
(12:19):
Well his job is to sculpt bust. How he did
not put a T and his name is Blair Bust Dwell.
I mean, come on, it's there on a T for you.
So we're going to talk to him. He has done
quite a few of these busts and we're just kind
of curious some of the stories there behind the scenes.
(12:42):
If you're going to have your bust be done by
this man, do you have any say in this?
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Dion?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I remember wanted to have a bandana on his bust,
but they said no, you couldn't. I don't know who
has the final word on your bust. The final say
is the commissioner involved in the US You have what
kind of haircut?
Speaker 4 (13:02):
You know?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Steve McMichael had flowing here on his bus. Look great,
But so he'll join us coming up in the final
hour of the program. All right, well take a break,
just getting started on this Wednesday edition. So you got
the Minister of Humor. Fritzi is here, Seaton, Marv, Big White,
Sox fan, Paulie and yours Truly. We're back after this
and the Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
There's a story that came out overnight by ESPN and
has a lot to do with the dysfunction of the
Philadelphia Eagles last year, and this in particular circles Nick Sirianni,
the head coach, and quarterback Jalen Hurts, and former offensive
coordinator Brian Johnson. Apparently, Jalen Hurts was going rogue sometimes,
(14:27):
And the game they point out was mid December Monday
Night Football. The Eagles down twenty to seventeen, thirteen seconds
to go with the ball near midfield and they needed
an intermediate gain to get in field goal range. Instead,
Jalen Hurts attempt at a downfield throw to AJ Brown
that was picked off, and Sirianni took the heat, which
(14:50):
only intensified when he said part of the thinking was
that they were hoping to draw a pass interference call,
a bizarre explanation that drew even more criticism, but it
proved to be a cover he was covering for Jalen
Hurts and AJ Brown. Brown revealed that he and Hurts
improvised and went on our own quote on the play,
(15:14):
but sources with knowledge of the situation say it didn't
happen all the time. It was a prime example of
Jalen Hurts deviating from the script. Now they do point
out that maybe Jalen Hurts doesn't give Nick Sirianni enough credit,
maybe doesn't have respect for his head coach. And they
were a mess at the end of last year. Remember
when they started out, they were great, looked like, hey,
(15:37):
super Bowl, here we come again, and then they all
fell apart, and we wondered if Nick Sirianni was going
to keep his job this offseason. You get rid of
some of your coordinators or they leave, and now all
of a sudden, you're still there with Jalen Hurts. But
it's a mess because that's a lot of talent on
that team, and all of a sudden, you're going rogue.
(15:58):
At the line of scrimmage. All you have to do
is get in field goal ranged, tie the game, and
then you decide, I think the code word for this
some teams use this, you go gangster, and that means
you're going to go rogue. You're going to decide to
do something thirteen seconds to go get in field goal range,
and then you decide to go for a home run.
Nick Sirianni says, oh, we thought we were going to
(16:19):
get maybe a pass interference call. That's not what you
want in that situation. He was trying to cover for
Jalen Hurts, and now all of a sudden, the cracks
that were there have become a little bit larger with
the Philadelphia Eagles. Yeah, Paulin, doesn't this feel.
Speaker 8 (16:35):
Like one of those stories where if the Eagles had
won a lot to end the season, and be look
at these guys. He trusts his quarterback to let him freelance.
The results make the story sound so much worse.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Well, they were ten and one to start the season
and then one in six down the stretch. Staff changes
a lot of questions. Dysfunctional. I mean, this is a
mess right now.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Now.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Maybe they've right at the ship here, but Nick Sirianni's
on the hot seat. They brought in Kellen Moore and
he's now the offensive coordinator. But maybe that can be
a buffer between head coach and quarterback, and Kellen Moore
can get them back to where they were. I mean,
you got Sakwon Barkley, still have a good offensive line,
(17:20):
you got good receivers as well, still have a respectable defense.
I mean, they should be one of the top three
teams in the NFC. They certainly were to start the season.
Down the stretch. You go one in six with that talent.
I was shocked that Nick Sirianni kept his job. He
will not keep his job if they have anywhere near
the kind of season they had last year. Yes, Marv.
Speaker 7 (17:43):
In the NFC, the forty nine Ers, Eagles and Lions.
Are those the only three teams in that conference that
are super Bowl or bust?
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Super Bowl?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Well, the Cowboys are always super Bowl or busted. But
I don't know, like what does bust mean that if
you don't get there, then you had as.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
A failure that season is a failure.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
No, Okay, well then that doesn't apply to the Cowboys
because it just feels like as long as you're talking
about the Cowboys, it's a successful season and people have
been talking about them and continue to talk about them.
I would say the Niners definitely. If you don't get
to the super Bowl, that's a disappointment. I think the
Lions they were a great story last year. Are they
(18:28):
Are they still a great team? Are they a great team?
Let me put it that way. Is green Bay super
Bowl or bust? Which I don't think they are. But
if they don't get to maybe the conference title game,
green Bay fans may say that's a disappointment here, you know,
considering how they ended up last year. I would say
Detroit and San Francisco, you should get to the NFC
(18:51):
title gay definitely for the Niners, you better get to
the super Bowl or and you know, it depends on
what happens with Brandon and I does that affect rock
Perty's contract with whatever they do or don't do this year.
But I would say those two definitely in the NFC. Man,
there are high expectations for Green Bay. It feels like
(19:13):
they're just a little too lofty. They were a great
story and it was almost one of those Wow green
Bay is coming on strong. But now everybody knows Jordan
Love got paid green Bay they're not an underdog.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
Yes, I feel like Jalen Hurts this year is going
to have a monster year MVP caliber. I don't know
if he's going to put up MVP numbers. See I
need him to.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
I need him to.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Manage a game, call a game, be a quarterback, not
just a couple of singular great plays. I think that's
what they missed last year in the last two months
of the season. Yeah, well that would certainly help out
his relationship, I guess with his head coach and Kellen
Moore would probably get a lot of credit there.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Yes, yes, because some of this story is so odd
to me because it's like if you're reading through it
and you're like, he wanted to throw more sort of
like intermediate passes, over the middle, and Sirianni wouldn't do that.
He had more like of a vertical pass it away,
which feels like the opposite the quarterback might be like, nah, man,
let's just hit a home run here.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Well, in that instance on that game against Seattle, it
was an intermediate throw to get into field goal range
that I don't know, you know, the play calling for
the entire year. I do know with those receivers and
that tight end, I would think that I would be
able to take some shots downfield.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
But it does feel like.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
They're going to be waiting blood in the water with
this Philadelphia media when it comes to the Eagles, like
lost back to back games, or they're feeling there be
we're gonna be studying body language here, We're gonna be
watching on the sidelines, and I think that they've opened
the door for this in Philadelphia.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
It feels like hitting AJ Brown over the middle more
often is a winning formula. I'm just gonna I'm not
a football expert, but I'm just gonna throw that out there. Yeah,
if the quarterback and the wide receiver are on the
same page and we're hitting that dude, I don't know,
maybe that wins.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Paulie's right, though. This is what we do in the media,
so we can spin this. If Philadelphia is six and
one down the stretch and we're talking about Jalen Hurts
going off script, then we're gonna go. Man, Nick Siriani
trust Jalen Hurts. What a great relationship between those two.
Speaker 10 (21:41):
Man.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
You gotta have confidence, Yeah, gotta have confidence in your quarterback.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
It seems still just as odd to me though, as like,
I know we're ten in one. If I'm Jalen Hurts,
I'm saying to the coach, I know we're ten in one.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
But.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
This isn't working. Let's try this. That doesn't really make
a lot of sense to me. They're kind of coach coach. Yeah, look,
ten and one is great and all, but it's not
It can't be better. Yeah, it's ten and one, it's
not eleven and all. I just don't know. It doesn't
add up.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
I would like to call my own number if I could, please. Hey,
I don't want to be known as a game manager.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Coach. You got us this far, Okay, I'll handle it
from here, thank you. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
One and six down the stretch, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 8 (22:25):
Marvin was saying super Bowl or bust the Lions.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
I went back. It was the other day.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
They had the NFC title game on Niners Lions and
you're watching it. It was the start of the third
quarter and the Lions are up twenty four to seven.
They're cruising up and down the field, throwing short passes,
and I'm sitting there watching a back going So this
team is not going to go to the super Bowl
in the next hour. It was fascinating. They give it
five straight scores after that fourth and one stuff, or
they didn't kick it. We don't have to rehash it,
(22:50):
but that team was going to the super Bowl. Their
fans were probably googling flights. Yeah, midway through the third quarter,
it's I think, oh, I don't I know they have
a window.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
They've added ten. But that's a fascinating team this year.
If they regress.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
And I get this weird feeling they're going to a
little bit, somebody's going to come out of nowhere. But
I don't know who that team is going to be.
It's going to be one of those where you go, oh,
I should have seen this. That is usually the case,
like green Bay. I thought green Bay was going to
be better that earlier than they were. And then all
of a sudden, I'm like, maybe it's not this year.
(23:25):
Then all of a sudden, here they came. And then
all of a sudden they go into Dallas. Then all
of a sudden they're up. But twenty seven nothing, and
you go, oh my god, we didn't see this. And
you know they go toe to toe, but you also
have you know, the forty nine ers.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
They're there, they should be there.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
But with Detroit, I don't know, it feels like those
expectations are so long, Like we got to get to
the conference title game. We got to be playing in
the conference title game again. That's it's tough, tough first
place schedule. That's why you know the NFL loves parody.
(24:03):
That's why you have teams, two or three teams every
year that go, we're going to make that really big
leap here like Green Bay did, Detroit has, San Francisco
has been there. But you know that's the true greatness
is when Kansas City has a first play schedule and
they're still there every single year no matter what. And
(24:25):
I don't know it feels that way again, like who's
going against Kansas City in the AFC this year.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Is anybody like, are you all in on that?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
The Texans feel like the Green Bay Packers, where you're like, man,
I didn't see that, and then all of a sudden
you saw that, and you're like, man, that quarterback's really good.
But are you ready for primetime? Because now it's different.
Instead of playing one o'clock games, now you're playing the
four thirty Big window on Fox or Sunday Night. Now,
(24:55):
all of a sudden, Hey, everybody wants to talk to you. Now,
all of a sudden, you got to explo things. Now
everything is under a microscope. Gotta be ready. When you're
playing a one o'clock game and all of a sudden
you're winning, you know, we're going, oh wow, Texans, that's nice.
They got some offense there. Oh CJ stround, that's nice.
It's like the difference between you having a nice puppy,
(25:17):
a cute puppy, or that dog that's going to protect you.
Look at this little guy, he's cute, Come here, come here,
and then you have the that's different. That's that's the
team that's got to be there. That's the that's the
Kansas City Chiefs. Look at this little cute little puppy
(25:38):
called the Lions. You're a little puppy. Yea excute?
Speaker 8 (25:41):
Come here, Yeah, Poe, I have a two leg parlay,
pie in the face bet I've been thinking about and
since you guys brought up the sports I'll throw it
out there. It's a two part parlay. If I lose
a bet, all four of you simultaneously can hit me
in the face of the pie. The Lions win the
super Bowl, we win the Sports Emmy.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Okay, that's it.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
So the Lions have to win the super Bowl first.
That's the first leg of the parlay. The second leg
of the parlay is we win the next Sports Emmy Award?
Speaker 4 (26:08):
What next? March April? Okay, I'll take that.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Ben all right, Yeah, we're not winning Will too, Yeah,
anybody else? Todd, You're so nobody thinks we're going to
win the Sports Emmy. Just Paulie, Who is it more?
Who has a better chance? Yes, we win the Sports
Emmy or the.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Positive of one of those two things.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
We're not winning the Sports Emmy. Okay.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
I see the Troit holding up the Lombardi trump.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
That's not a good sign.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
He I'm right there with you. But what do you
win if you make this great call, Paul, I go.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
To Lions pray. How about I give you the Sports Emmy?
Speaker 9 (26:45):
Oh to keep?
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Yeah, well, let's not do anything crazy. Okay, I think
we all can order a year. Well, no, I have
to you guys can order. I have to pay for
that order. So the hard part is not ordering it that.
The hard part is winning. And then I have to
pick up the tab for the Sports em.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Oh, I'll think of it. Okay, that's a fun one. Yeah, yeah,
but everybody took the Beth.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
You guys yelled at Yeah, I got that one.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
We were we were willing to do it on us
winning the Sports Emmy. Let it the Lions win in
the Super Bowl.
Speaker 8 (27:20):
It felt like the Lions maybe learned something from last
year and then like you know that, yeah, don't blow
a twenty four to seven lead, but they maybe they
won't do that.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Yeah, well that's fun and got some stuff riding on
it here.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
Mike in New York, I Mike, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9 (27:38):
Thank you Mike from Ellenville. Thanks for Steven the call
and to quote that Simon and garfocal wrong. Where have
you gone? Joe Montana? I know you guys are talking
about the Niners going to the super Bowl. But if
they do go, they will not lose four consecutive and
four consecutive years, but they will have lost four consecutive
(27:59):
Super Bowls one and three since show Montana.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Oh okay, all right, Mike, where have you gone Joe
Montana instead of Joe Demisha?
Speaker 5 (28:08):
Nailed it?
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Yeah, all right, nailed it. Maser in Iowa, Hey Mazer,
thank you, Good.
Speaker 12 (28:15):
Morning, DP you got and good morning to the back round.
You guys do a fine job. Here's a full question
for you. Would you rather be Mike Trout or Robert
or and one bonus one? Would you rather work on
a pretty famous radio show it's really small hands or
have an everyday job in normal sized hands?
Speaker 5 (28:32):
Fair?
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Okay, thank you. Well let's start out with Marvin small hands?
Would you rather have a regular job rather be me?
I'm gonna keep these You're doing well?
Speaker 4 (28:45):
You're doing well?
Speaker 9 (28:46):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (28:47):
You are?
Speaker 5 (28:48):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Any, Well, Marvin's the only one who can answer that
because he's the one with smallest hands.
Speaker 7 (28:54):
See has a massive bear clause.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Yeah, okay, what was the former small hands guy?
Speaker 4 (29:01):
I can talk about it?
Speaker 8 (29:01):
Would you rather be Mike Trout or Robert orry that
old question.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
Uh, I'm gonna be Mike Trount. Oh, I'm gonna be
Mike Trount. What he's been one of the greatest.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
He was the greatest baseball player for quite a you know,
a few years there, three MVPs every single day. Great
Robert Rory was great, like, you know, how many minutes
in his career? Five minutes when.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
You know you'd actually add up the total amount that
a baseball player is actually in motion too, and in
by Mike Trout might be five minutes as well.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Robert Ory had like five minutes of great basketball in
his career. Mike Trout has had years of greatness. I
would I would be Mike Trout.
Speaker 8 (29:52):
Yes, Dan Marino maybe the greatest quarterback I've ever witnessed
play football. That's just at the skill, at the position
he has to catch and ask questions about not winning
a title, and he got to a Super Bowl, he
was in one. Mike Trout hasn't even gotten to the
second round of the playoffs, and he's imagine having that
but not even close.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
I have no problem being Dan Marino. Oh, yes, but
that's what I'm say.
Speaker 8 (30:15):
Dan Marino is leaps and bounds more accomplished down the
road as a team player than Mike Trout was.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
And one great year that he went to the Super
Bowl his second year in the league. What did they
do after that? I mean, you're right, Mike Trout went
to one playoff series against Kansas City. But Mike Trout
was the best player in baseball for three of those
years where he's the MVP and he was runner up
or finished in the top five. What four other times?
Speaker 8 (30:44):
Dan Marino's played in three fewer Major League Baseball playoff
games than Mike Trout.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
Yes, Marvin, I'm sure Dan Marino's played in a couple
of conference championship games, so his team at least went deep.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Okay, so you guys want to be Dan Marino not
Mike Trout. Oh easily, he didn't.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
He didn't win anything.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
We're talking about Mike Trouder Da Marina.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Both they didn't win anything. Mike Trout is one of
the greatest of all time. What he's done with three
m vps.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
Huh?
Speaker 8 (31:17):
Damn Marino made ten postseasons as the quarterback of the Dolphin.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
Isn't the question really, like if you just changed the
amphis emphasis? Like, what has he done with three m
VPSA you said, what he's done with three m vps?
But what has he done with three MVPs? Nothing? Yeah,
he kind of has a whole career. That did he
live up to his end of the bargain. Not my angels,
not my fault. The rest of these guys suck, but
(31:40):
for a career, but for a decade, he lived up
to his end of the bargain. He was MVP, He
put up MVP numbers. The Angels they failed it. So,
I look, do we.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Give credit too much credit sometimes at certain positions, certainly
the quarterback too much blame?
Speaker 4 (31:59):
Absolutely?
Speaker 5 (32:00):
I know they've both had I mean, great careers. So
it's weird to be like these conversations are always so
odd because it's like, of course, Mike Trout is awesome,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
It's not like we're nitpicking. Is what we're doing. That's
what you're doing.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Both kind of what we do for a living, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
But we accomplished a line in that segment, So right,
there might be able to say to the sports semi people.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
Or they might say, would you rather segment for the Emmy? Yes?
Speaker 10 (32:28):
All right?
Speaker 2 (32:29):
How many people are bringing up Dan Marino and comparing
him to Mike Trout, Nobody, no, no, no, no, Buddy
Sports big shot, Bob thrown in there, yes, Robert or
or oh jungle U. I would rather be Mike Trout
than Bob, Bobby Orry or Bob Orr. All right, let
(32:50):
me take a break. Got our play of the day
up next.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio in the iHeartRadio Wap.
Speaker 8 (33:03):
Oh my God.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
The play plays of the day.
Speaker 6 (33:09):
Play this is the play of the day.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Check this out.
Speaker 6 (33:14):
The tumble is on the line for Julian Alfred Cold
is on the line for Gabby Thomas.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Copritten though she has to get away for Gabby Thomas
to have any chance, she hasn't done that.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
Gabby Thomas is a control of Condy. Gavin Thomas comes
up the time.
Speaker 8 (33:32):
Gavin Thomas Gemmy Thomas is a chip.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
That's courtesy of NBC Sports. Auto Bolden, who was on
the call. Former track star join us coming up in
about twenty minutes from now. Uh US teammate Ritney Brown
finished third for her first Olympic medal, but Thomas is
the first American since Alison Felix in twenty twelve to
win the Olympic gold in two hundred meters. That's your
(34:02):
play of the day, brought to you by Express Employment
Professionals provide the workforce you need. Let Express help you
and they never charge your fee. Go to expresspros dot
com find the location nearest you expresspros dot com. Also,
I mentioned this a little while ago that I believe
(34:23):
the first American from Harvard to win a gold medal
in track and field. Don't know if there's a long
list of Harvard grads, but she was great yesterday.
Speaker 4 (34:37):
That was never in doubt.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
And you know, sometimes you can watch somebody after a
race and go, oh man, they're huffing and puffing. It
looks like she's just going from one classroom to another. Yeah, yeah,
I got the economics here. I'm going to go there.
But very very impressive yesterday. And photogenic, I mean she is.
She jumps off the screen, very striking. She could run
(35:00):
for office. Yes, she has a gold, to silver and
a bronze. That's a pretty full up trophy case. And
you know, she got the silver and the bronze in
Tokyo at the last Olympics. So you have to imagine
that the pressure to win a gold at this time,
or at least the hope of winning one, was magnified
(35:20):
by you know, a million and in the field is
the fastest woman on the planet right right from Saint Lucia.
Speaker 8 (35:28):
Yes, Pom, there should be a rule that you could
either win a gold medal in life or graduate from Harvard.
You can't do both. That's really like almost like hoarding.
You know, I'm really really far from both.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
Believe me. Okay, what would you rather do?
Speaker 8 (35:43):
Graduate from Harvard like my child? No, you me gold medal.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
Marvin gold medal, Todd.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
I think I'll be a Harvard graduate.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
I know a lot of people more people are Harvard
graduates and gold medalist. But I don't know. I think
I'm gonna go home.
Speaker 5 (36:00):
Jeez, that's a tough one. Uh. I think maybe Harvard,
got admit, I think I think maybe Harvard.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
I think I'm gonna go gold medal, going to go gold.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Now, if I said your gold was not in a
headline sport like it was in biathlon, yes.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
I'll just say. If I could go from failing out
of West Virginia to graduate at Harvard like this. Uh yeah,
I'm gonna take that upgrade.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
Quick silver or Dartmouth.
Speaker 5 (36:28):
Ya ok A bronze go to Brown pass Vale, Yeah,
bronze or Brown University.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
Yeah, old question.
Speaker 5 (36:38):
Classic.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
All right, So we'll talk to the former Olympian now
working for NBC, Auto Bolden, who has four medals, no gold,
so we could ask him our pole question.
Speaker 10 (36:49):
Here.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Let me see Cindy in North Carolina. Hi, Cindy, what's
on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (36:54):
Hi? Dan Lock times Dan of yours? So I just
wanted to kind of circle back to the fifteen hundred.
I used to run fifteen hundred and three thousand in
high school and college. He could time me with a
sun dial. But that was the That was the greatest
race I've ever seen. And it's what the Olympics represent.
(37:17):
The unpredictability. Right, These two guys who were very salty
with each other, you know, had they traded insults, and
they thought it was the race between the two of them,
and then this underdog comes in and just blows everything up,
and I just think that's what the whole Olympics.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Yeah, present Cole Hecker, he's from Indianapolis. I think he
Hawker he went to Oregon but ends up winning, and
they forgot about him. They allowed him to go inside,
and they just slipped right by the two favorites while
they're they're worried about each other, and then Cole just
slips in ends up winning the fifteen hundred meters.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
It was great. It's fun because they get their moment.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
All this time that they spend and they train and
don't even know if they're going to have that moment
their race is going to be shown, or how they end.
Speaker 5 (38:09):
Up finishing, and then you end up winning a goal.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
You surprise everybody, maybe you surprise yourself, but you get
your moment. You'll always always have that moment, and that's
that's special. That's great. Michael and fort Wayne. Hey, Mike,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 10 (38:26):
Dan? Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 9 (38:28):
Let me ask you a quick question.
Speaker 10 (38:30):
Who do you think had a franchise that did them dirtier?
Speaker 4 (38:34):
Mike Trout or Andrew Luck? Uh?
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Well, it's systemic failure on both of those. I just
didn't understand why the Colts didn't invest in a better
offensive line. You spent the money on Andrew Luck, and
then I kept saying, you're going to drive him out
of football, and that's what happened. All of a sudden,
You're getting hit constantly in surgeries in and you lose
(39:01):
your love for the game.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
And that's what Andrew Luck did.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
The Angels tried, you know, because they got Albert Poohols.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
I mean they were at least trying. They just did it.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Never felt like they matched up with good pitching and
good hitting. I would say the Colts, because the Colts
drove Andrew Luck out of the game. He lost his
love for the game because they didn't protect him. So
I would side with that. George in Texas, George, good morning.
What's on your mind today?
Speaker 4 (39:36):
Hey?
Speaker 10 (39:36):
Dan, I'm just wondering do you think the Steelers are
a victim of their own mythology? Do they hang on
to players and coaches too long? Because I don't think
Tomlin would get seventeen years. What's the playoff record he's
got at another franchise.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Well, this is an organization that does honor. They are
bare loyal. I mean, if you say, my coach is
going to give us a winning record every year, I
don't know if I'd look at that and say we're underachieving,
because I think it's really hard to do that for
as long as he's He's got a Hall of Fame
career elsewhere with a different owner maybe, but he's got
(40:23):
a very loyal owner. I mean, they stay with their coaches.
Chuck Nole, you know, stayed with him. Did they stay
with him too long? Bill Cower? And now I have Mike.
I mean it's almost like the Green Bay Packers finding
quarterbacks that you know, do they produce? Do they produce
as high as we think they should? Their playoff records
(40:43):
aren't as good as they probably should be. Yes, you
could probably make a comparison that the Packers finding their
quarterbacks the Steelers finding their head coaches.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
There all right.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
One hour in the Books, Otto Bolden will join us.
He's been on the call for the Track and Field
with NBC. A little bit later on the man who
is the sculptor for the Hall of Fame Bust. He
