Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio. Morale is hi.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
I hope you had a great weekend. Everybody gangs here,
ready to go phone calls. We'll get to more of
those best and worst of the weekend. What you saw
that you liked, you didn't like. I don't want to
tell you I told you, but I told you. The
emphasis on the run is alive and kicking. In the NFL.
Saquon Barkley one hundred and forty seven yards seventeen carries

(00:26):
won the game. Kyron Williams eighty nine yards twenty four
carries won the game. Derrick Henry one hundred and fifty
one yards won the game. Chubb a Hubbard one hundred
and fourteen yards won the game. Jonathan Taylor one hundred
ten yards won the game. Aaron Jones won two won
the game. Zach Sharbonning ninety one yards won the game.

(00:49):
David Montgomery one hundred and five yards won the game.
You're starting to see this more and more, the emphasis
on the run, and John Gruden last hour said, you
know have to do with pass blocking. Trying to find
good offensive linemen not easy to do. That's why you
have these tackles that are lined up where they shouldn't be,
and we're throwing these penalties. They're trying to get an

(01:11):
edge so they keep the edge rusher off the quarterback.
Now you're finding that defenses are based predicated on speed
and not that physical, dominating toughness, and you're finding that
these offensive coordinators are going, all right, we're going to
run the ball now. And you've seen this through the
first three weeks. Stat of the Day has always brought

(01:31):
to you by PENAI America, the official trading cards of
the Dan Patrick Show. More phone calls coming up. We
have a hot new football segment according to Paully that
Seaton came up with. We'll have that for you coming up.
I did want to go back to show Heo Tani's
now fifty three homers, fifty five steals. He's got six
games to go. How much does he play? How much

(01:54):
does he run? As you get ready for the postseason.
But I'm looking in the last four games, teen of eighteen,
that's a seven seventy eight batting average, five homers, thirteen RBI,
six tolen bases. His on base percentage is two point
five two two. It's crazy, crazy. The numbers here, and

(02:18):
you wonder if this is that one year that statistical
anomaly where not pitching, He's going to be running more
and putting up these numbers, and it might be I
may never get here again. I may never be asked
to do this. I'm going to put up the best
numbers possible and see if somebody can come and get this.
I'm going to max this thing out.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Now.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
There was discussion last week when Otani had three home
runs in that game twelve RBIs against Florida, and we thought, okay,
is this the greatest game of all time? Now, I said,
it can't be the greatest game if a pitcher threw
a perfect game in the World Series, Like it's a
perfect game. So let's take Don Larson out of this.

(03:02):
And I said to Paulie, I have one game that
might rival this if I'm looking at regular season one day,
just one game and it might surprise you. But it's
actually two games. It was a double header. Nobody's batted
four hundred or higher since nineteen forty one. Ted Williams

(03:24):
was the last to accomplish this. The Red Sox were
two wins away that you know this was going to
be a historic day for Ted Williams. The Red Sox
were in Philadelphia playing a doubleheader against the A's. They
defeated them in both games and they ended up second
place in the American League. Ted Williams came in batting

(03:47):
three ninety nine. Now you could round up to four hundred,
but he wanted to play. He insisted on playing both games,
so there was no doubt. So they could have rounded
up and he would have batted four hundred. Now at
the time, people are like, oh, okay, batting four hundred.
Now we look back and go, oh my god, he's

(04:08):
batting four hundred. He goes four for five in the
first game, so he's batting four oh four. He can
decide to sit down. Ted Williams plays in the second game,
went two for three and he ended up with a
batting average of four oh six. That to me, no,
no hold on mark That to me rivals this with

(04:32):
regular season monumental achievement pressure that you could have rounded
up to four hundred. And he's like, no, I'm playing
both games of the doubleheader. And he ends up batting
four oh six.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
And Dan, it's almost like the decision is the most
impressive thing to do it because I checked a couple
other places. He would have finished officially with a four
hundred batting average if he sat the last two games
like it wasn't there is a light question about it,
but I checked a few to places it was going
to be considered four hundred.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
And look, he batted four oh six, thirty seven homers,
one hundred and twenty runs battered in that year. So
the numbers don't compare necessarily to a TONI but if
we're looking at a standalone game, the last guy to
bat four hundred, they could have rounded up. He would
have batted four hundred. He he ran the risk of
batting under four hundred, and he said, I'm playing both

(05:24):
games of the doubleheader, even when he's already got it,
doesn't have to play. The second game he plays, he
goes four to five, and then he goes two for three,
ends up at four oh six. So I would say
regular season pressure and the numbers, how significant that number is.
Nobody's ever going to about four hundred again. Now we

(05:46):
might say, is anybody gonna go fifty five to fifty five?
Probably not, but I can guarantee nobody's gonna about four
hundred again. And not even get close. Yes, Marvin and
Ted Williams still didn't win MVP that season. No, he
did not, No, he didn't. He was He was not
well liked, even by the writers who covered him in Boston.
That's so. He bats four oh six, but Joe die

(06:09):
as a fifty six game hitting streak more impressed. Would
you rather what would you rather have bat four oh
six or have a hit at least one hit and
fifty six consecutive games? Todd, I'll start with you.

Speaker 5 (06:23):
I'm gonna go with batting of over four hundred for
the entire season.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
I think is more Nat Seaton.

Speaker 6 (06:29):
Four hundred is pretty special. Yeah, Marvin bat four hundred. Yeah, Paulie, this.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
Is a really, really tough one. I can't believe we've
never discussed this before. At first I thought demagio, but
people have been kind of close. You can go on
a two month hot streak or two and a half
months and get it four oh six. It's really hasn't
been close in this generation. I'm gonna go four o six,
four hundred.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Well, we did have when it mattered, when batting average mattered.
That's when you had George Brett and you had Tony gwinn.
It doesn't matter anymore. I mean, if you bat three
twenty seven, you can win the batting title. I mean
that would have been an off year for some of
these guys. Four h six not going to be approached.
I do think we could get somebody to go fifty
to fifty. As great as these athletes are, uh, you know,

(07:16):
we even brought up Acuna had forty one homers and
seventy three stolen bases. It's not far off from fitty fitting.
But yeah, Otani's numbers have been video game like mind boggling,
and uh, I'm guessing unanimous MVP. That sound right. I
don't know who else is, although Francisco Lindor was he

(07:38):
getting MVP love second place?

Speaker 7 (07:41):
They're like second place, MVP, second place and runner up.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yeah, Pauline.

Speaker 4 (07:46):
What really helps everything for Otani is that the Dodgers
haven't just controlled the division and wanted a week and
a half ago, so they still have to play everybody
for these last few games of the season. If they were,
you know, kind of a Dodgers from a couple of
years ago where they're twelve games ahead, he may have
sat down.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Yeah, it's a great point. Great point. Let me see
if I have any other crazy uh goofy numbers. Otani
fourteen hits over his last four games. The last time
that happened with the Dodgers nineteen twenty five, the impressive
Milt Stock, he had sixteen hits. That's a fun name,
Milt Stock. Milt Stock. Yeah, I don't know. It just

(08:25):
doesn't sound like that's a star. Hey, what's your name?
I'm Milt Stock.

Speaker 7 (08:31):
In nineteen twenty five, it probably was No, you think so,
no milk Stock.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah, yeah, Milt Stock's unbelievable. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (08:39):
See, are we underappreciating a fifty six game hitting streak
by everybody saying four hundred because it feels like, oh,
it's only a matter of time before somebody breaks that,
But really, nobody is even coming close.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Oh I don't think either one will be broken. But
you know, batting average doesn't matter. Therefore, nobody cares about
getting on base, getting a little bunt or any of
that stuff. That's why four oh six isn't going to
be touched in our lifetime. I don't think fifty six games.
I mean, there's certain numbers that will just never be broken,
and those are two. It's rare to say in baseball,

(09:15):
those numbers won't be broken, but they will not be broken.

Speaker 6 (09:18):
Jimmy Rollins is probably the closest. In like recent memory.
That was two thousand and five, two thousand and six,
he hit thirty eight games.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, and Pete Rose had forty four, and then that
was seventy Yeah. I remember that one. Pete was upset
with Gene Garber the Braves because he goes always pitching
like it's the World Series. Pete, You're hitting it like
it's the World Series, So why can't the pitcher pitch
like it's the World Series? Yes?

Speaker 5 (09:43):
Tom, how many times during that fifty six game hitting streak,
because it possible that Joe only got one hit and
it was was it a hit and we'll call it
a hit? There could be a few of those in there.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Wait, are you calling out the streak.

Speaker 5 (09:55):
I'm saying it's an incredible accomplishment compared to the four
hundred batting average. But within that fifty six gain hitting streak,
a number of them could have been one hits. Then
some of the judging of those hits could have.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Been well, Williams had some hits that maybe weren't hits
in his four oh six batting.

Speaker 6 (10:10):
But it's over an entire season, that's supposed to It
means you gotta get lucky a lot of times over
the course of the entire sees.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah, you do, got to get a little blooper in there.
Come on, now, give me a little bit, go come
on now. Yeah, yeah, yes, Paul I went back.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
And looked at the nineteen forty one AL MVP voting
because Marvin said it that Ted Williams somehow lost, so
he loses to Joe Demagio. So this is the AL
MVP voting. Joe Demagio, Ted Williams, Bob Feller, household names
and still like all time greats, the NL MVP voting,
Dolph Camilli, Pete Reiser, and Wit Wyatt.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
They had a couple of Dodgers in there.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
Yeah, but the AL was top heavy back then.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Yeah. But if you go back to what is it,
nineteen sixty three when Wilt Chamberlain averaged fifty points, I
don't think he was the MVP. I think I think
imagine you averaged fifty Probably he probably averaged twenty four
rebounds and fifty points. And I think Oscar Robertson because

(11:08):
he had a triple double may have won the MVP. No, No,
Bill Russell won the MVP. I think that year, Billy, Yeah,
Bill Russell. He actually won it handily. Bill Russell got
fifty one first place votes. Wilt got nine. Well, I
it's similar to Bill Russell to Joe DiMaggio as Wilt

(11:28):
was to Ted Williams because they weren't necessarily liked. And
how do you how many rebounds did Wilt average that year?

Speaker 5 (11:36):
Nineties?

Speaker 2 (11:37):
I got it? Was it sixty three? I gotta believe
he went fifty twenty three? Yeah, they didn't even keep
blocks back then. He probably averaged five assists.

Speaker 4 (11:46):
This is a sixty one sixty two seasons sixty Okay.
Will Chamberlain's twenty five years old. He averaged fifty point
four points per game, twenty five point seven rebounds. Here's
the kicker. He played forty eight and a half minutes
per game. He played every second of every game, including
a couple overtime games.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah, how is it you could never come out if
you're up by like thirty twenty two, like you're on
a bench. I, hey, Wilton, that will never be broken. Well,
it's got seventy five.

Speaker 4 (12:16):
You think I could get in tonight.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
There was no you know, time management, game management. Back then,
you were playing every single minute. Imagine being the backup center.
You're like, hey, will it was probably like Darryl Imhoff
was the backup center for Wilt back then, Hey could
I get in a little bit. It's like being the

(12:42):
backup for Peyton Manning. He never wanted to come out
of the game. But yeah, four h six, neither one
will be broken. Neither one. All right, pull question for
the final hour. And then we have a hot new
football segment coming up today as well, and we will
write the headlines for tonight's games. We'll do that today,

(13:02):
so tomorrow's headlines today, we'll have that for you coming up.
More of your phone calls as well. All right, see,
and you want to give me the poll question.

Speaker 6 (13:08):
Yeah, we got a couple of them here for you.
The new segment, most head scratching situation this weekend.

Speaker 8 (13:13):
Oh that's the new segment people love to today. But
yeah it's a real head scratcher. Okay, let me hold
off on that one. Okay, I'll give you another poll question. Okay,
worst coaching job this weekend. We'll throw John Harbaugh in there.
Even coming away with a give him.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Credit for I have to give him credit for some
of the best coaching you do in the first three quarters.

Speaker 6 (13:39):
Yes, yes, and then terrible coaching. Yes, Nick Sirianni fella
might need to hire a game manager clock manager type.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yeah. Okay, Matt Eberflus.

Speaker 6 (13:53):
Apparently while we're talking about how important it is running
the ball, he doesn't subscribe to that theory.

Speaker 5 (13:59):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
There is a moment in this game and Caleb william
throws his first touchdown pass and it's to Roma Dounjay,
so his first catch, his first touchdown. They're fighting over
who's getting the ball like it was they were goofing around.
Then they get a penalty or they have to call
a time out because they're goofing around. No, I want

(14:23):
the ball, No, I want the ball. It's it's my
first touchdown and I'm going come on, guys, come on.
And I thought that's not a good look. And Caleb, it's.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
Like you're being generous the way you're describing this.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
I was.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
I wanted to say, hey, your knuckleheads, will you stop
like you got a game going on here?

Speaker 8 (14:45):
No?

Speaker 2 (14:45):
You you? Oh my god? Anybody else did?

Speaker 6 (14:52):
Why not celebrate the milestones when they happen, you know,
I mean, we were so quick to move on in life.
Why not celebrate good things when they happen, Stop and smell.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
But but we don't have to celebrate every milestone even when
they're not a milestone. It feels like we celebrate. Yeah,
that was a good one, though I understand the excitement one. However,
it's a funny one. But they're fighting over the football
and they lost the game. Well, that was unfortunate and unfortunate.
Let me take a break when we come back. The

(15:24):
hot new football segment, the most head scratching moment of
the weekend. More of your phone calls as well. We'll
take a break back after this.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Handed out the WNBA Awards and as expected, Asia Wilson
was a unanimous pick for MVP and Caitlin Clark unanimous
pick for Rookie of the Year, and rightfully so. These
shows that embarrass themselves by trying to make this a
rivalry with Rookie of the Year Caitlyn Clark should have been,
in my opinion runner up for MVP. Asia Wilson was spectacular,

(16:11):
although Connecticut Son shut down Caitlin Clark yesterday in Game
one of their playoff series. But Asia Wilson is an
old timer and Caitlyn Clark dominated. Do you remember what
our predictions were, PAULI, did you ever find those numbers?
Because I think we all made predictions of what Caitlin Clark,
what her numbers would be a rookie year.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
I got a couple. I don't have all of them.
I think I had seventeen and seven, seventeen point seven.
It says I think you had eighteen and ten. Kitlyn.
I got to check the rest we're looking for him.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Did her what were her final numbers?

Speaker 4 (16:46):
I think there's nineteen and eight and a half, nineteen
points eight and a half.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
I thought she would lead the league and assists. I
thought she'd certainly do that and gratiate herself with her teammates,
and it took a little while before she kind of
found founder groove scoring wise, but I guess all around play.
But she was great down the stretch, and I thought
getting her team into the playoffs, she should be a
top five MVP choice, Yaupo.

Speaker 4 (17:12):
I saw a couple of stats about WNBA attendants, and
every team is up at least fifteen percent, and the
ones that are up the least are because they're mostly
sold out already, teams like you know the Aces. Okay,
the other thing I noticed is the fever made the playoffs.
The last six NBA number one o hile draft picks,
none of them got to the playoffs. None of them

(17:32):
raised their team to the playoff lep.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Well, they don't have that many teams in the WNBA.
To be fair to that stat you got a Portland
franchise coming in I believe next year with WNBA. I
have updated Super Bowl odds according to DraftKings, Kansas City
Chiefs number one. Let me see, if you guys, it's
really it's a two team race right now, who do

(17:57):
you think has the second best odds to win the
Super Bowl? Seatan still gonna say the forty nine Ers,
all right, you'd be correct. It's Chiefs, and then it's
the Niners. Now we have a three way tie for
third place best odds. Todd, can you pick one of
the three teams that have the best odds to win

(18:18):
the Super Bowl.

Speaker 5 (18:19):
I'm still gonna hang with those Detroit Lions being in that.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
Man, they are in there. They are in there, Marvin,
the Eagles, they are in there, Paulie, the Bills. Look
at you guys. Who says you guys don't know anything
any people know? Buddy? Then it's the Ravens, then the Jets,
and then the Texans in there. All right, let's play

(18:43):
the new game, the most head scratching moment of the weekend. Okay,
you have the nominees.

Speaker 6 (18:53):
Most head scratching situation. We're gonna say, okay, what do
we do? So you give us the most head scratching
and then all comment on that. Gotta admit, I don't
even remember how we came up with this. This morning,
I know somebody describes something as head scratching. Paul and
I went on about a ninety six second rant and
we were like, oh, yeah, this should be a segment,
and now we're doing it.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Okay, all right, but we don't know how you win
or lose with the most head scratching moment. That's sort
of arbitrary. We'll just figure it out on the spot.

Speaker 4 (19:22):
Okay, yes, Paul, any chance we should have a little
structure like that's a one scratcher or the max of
that's a three scratcher.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
Okay, so let's talk about the Eagles right now.

Speaker 6 (19:32):
Jalen Hurts a lot of question marks surrounding him, whilst
also a ton of.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Question marks surrounding his coaching staff.

Speaker 6 (19:42):
Okay, that feels like a full blown three head scratcher.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
Three head scratcher. Yeah. I think that the entire season
is going to be an experiment on just can they
get along? Are they going to be on the same page?
And we know they're not getting rid of Jalen Hurts,
get rid of Nick Sirianni. If it doesn't go well,
all right, any other head scratchers here? Uh? What's up

(20:07):
with the Bears? This segment could also be called what's
up with Dot Dot Dot? Okay, all right, maybe maybe
that's a better name.

Speaker 6 (20:15):
We're going in Week three, Matt Eberflu's hot seat. That's
not great, that's not great.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
Yeah, yeah, well I think it's it's a hot seat
season for Matt eberflustee season. How about we block that's
the problem? Thought? They improve their offensive line, which tells
you just how bad the offensive line was last year.
That they may have improved their offensive line this year.
Did they in fact they improved Well, maybe not, Yes, Paul.

Speaker 4 (20:45):
I think it's in at least a two scratch situation.
When I watched that game the other day, they found
a way to lose against a team that can't stop
the running game. And it does feel like the Bears
coaching staff doesn't know how to manage a football game
with timeouts reviews. I'm not I'm not kidding. They don't
know the structure of time management, when to use timeouts
when not to. They actually were a detriment to their team,

(21:09):
the coaching that which you're supposed to help your team.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
When I think that doesn't bode well, that doesn't bode well.
That's a that's a head scratching moment if I've ever
seen one, brought to you by head and shoulders.

Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Oh, dangerous under control. Yeah, that's pretty good. Okay, we
can work without d a m any any other situations here,
any other scratchers.

Speaker 6 (21:33):
Mac Brown now says that when he said that he's
going to quit, yeah, now, he said that that was misinterpreted.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
He didn't actually say that. Who do we think is
right or wrong?

Speaker 6 (21:44):
There did Mac actually say that or is it just
other communication issues in North Carolina?

Speaker 2 (21:49):
How do you Okay, Yeah, that's not what I said.
That's not what I meant. How do you miscommunicate that
That's not what I meant. I'd have to hear what
he or who he said it to, unless he said
it in the locker room and then somebody told somebody
outside the locker room, and I was like, man, he
was thinking about stepping down. He said he's gonna quit. Yeah.

(22:11):
Do we have a do we have a direct quote
from Mac Brown?

Speaker 9 (22:15):
Now?

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Jimmy Madison roughed him up.

Speaker 4 (22:17):
I found a couple of stories postgame, and it just
suggests that Mac Brown said I'm not resigning, I'll be back.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
In Well, maybe people suggested he should step down. Maybe
he didn't say it, they suggested it. After give it
up seventy points.

Speaker 5 (22:32):
I said, if we gave up at least eighty to
James Madison, if.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
We gave up seventy one, I was going to step down. Okay,
any other scratchers. I think Paul's got one more.

Speaker 4 (22:44):
I would say, yes, Paul, I would say the Michigan
quarterbacking situation, how do you win the national title? And
not bind a new quarterback, either in the portal or recruiting.
They seem to be going the wrong way at the
quarterback position.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
Yeah, I'm always amazed when you can't get your quarterback.
And Michigan went through a long period. This is a
while ago where you're going, all right, is this guy
going to be your quarterback? No, this guy, You're Michigan
And now a lot of other programs go through the
same thing where you're going, this is as good as
you could get. And now you can go out and
buy them, like, there's no excuse to not get a

(23:21):
good quarterback, whether it's transfer portal or it's going to
be right out of high school. You can pay good
money like other schools could have gotten cam Ward, I
would think now at Miami. But yeah, I'm always surprised.
And you have a quarterback who can't throw, I mean

(23:41):
it that goes along with the position, or you can't
throw creepers. I know. Pumpkin spice moonshine is back for
the fall. It's awesome. I have a bottle up here
with me in Maine. Order two bottles or more receive
a limited edition Dan Patrick Chopenini card. While simply he's

(24:01):
last available now dan Patrick dot com. Yes, Marvin, how
do you.

Speaker 7 (24:05):
Get to Michigan without knowing how to throw the football?

Speaker 3 (24:10):
Was he?

Speaker 7 (24:10):
That could be like dual thread guy or.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Yeah, but you're not a dual threat if you can
only do one thing, like you're a singular threat.

Speaker 7 (24:19):
But how do you get to Michigan? That's that's my
that's my one question.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
I have no idea. I all I know is Fritzi's
never been more interested in a player's last name than
Michigan's quarterback.

Speaker 5 (24:31):
Are you talking about Orgy? Yeah, Orgy and the group
effort needed for them to win games.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
Yes, if it's Orgy, it's a group effort.

Speaker 4 (24:40):
Yes, you know what you know. I'm very particular about
how people with their last names and stuff. You wouldn't
pronounce it orgy distinctively. I think he does. He does Orgy.
It is g It's not orgy. How about orgy? Like
like highlight, I would distance myself from the other.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
I wouldn't. I'd embrace it.

Speaker 5 (25:02):
Oh, you're going to an orgeon?

Speaker 2 (25:04):
Who wants it? Who wants an orgy? Right here? Or
I'm a dual dual purpose quarterback.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
At the goal line and said going for two. He
wants to go for three.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
Here we go. They pushed, Hey Todd and.

Speaker 5 (25:22):
The interesting thing to get around Michigan, you got to
take Interstate sixty nine.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Just thought that that little Mergert that is not correct.

Speaker 5 (25:31):
That's what I don't know if that goes directing to
Ann Arbor.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
Suggesting that's not accurate. Yeah, and I thought ann Arbor
was hot.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
I do.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
I thought she was.

Speaker 4 (25:45):
Is it named after a person, the city, the town?

Speaker 2 (25:49):
I don't know, Angela. Maybe rich Eisend will call in
or Adam Schefter will call in. Annie Arbor. Lovely, lovely city,
lovely town. Like it's right out of a movie you
could have had. It's a wonderful life film there, Ann Arbor.

Speaker 6 (26:07):
Yes, I got a quick poll result here Dan worst
win of the weekend. Yeah, Eagles, Ravens, Michigan, Panthers. Right now,
the Eagles, with forty six percent of the vote, have
the worst win. Then it's basically a three way tie
between the Ravens, Michigan and Panthers.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Yeah. Uh, style points. I'm not going to give the
Eagles a lot of style points there. That was one
of those somebody's got to win. This might as well,
be you do you have information on ann Arbor.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
I'm trying to confirm it's I've got a couple different
stories here checking.

Speaker 6 (26:38):
Okay, Yeah, Seed, I have another new poll question for you.
The NFL most loves dot dot Dot the ratings money
or the Chiefs. The NFL most loves ratings money or
the Chiefs.

Speaker 4 (26:58):
Uh, Paul, I'd like to add a fourth, what about
stopping out other professional sports leagues? Monopoli summarized.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Todd just sent me Interstate sixty nine in Michigan. Okay, okay,
thank you, ton Oh.

Speaker 4 (27:13):
I had the ann Arbor situation. Okay, there was a
group of landowners that got together to found and name
the town of ann Arbor, Michigan, and the two founders
the names of the wives of the founders. One was
named Anne and I guess the middle name, but the
other one was Arbor. And they morphed that together.

Speaker 9 (27:32):
Hmmm.

Speaker 4 (27:33):
Back to you.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
We're learning things today and therefore our audience is smarter today.
Al in Atlanta, Hi, Al.

Speaker 9 (27:42):
I would like to say good morning, Dan, but I
cannot say that.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (27:46):
Now, did I miss the memo? The f and NFL
saands for football right, because the last I remember the
commissioners trying to take the foot out of the game.
It was this dynamic kickoff. And now analytics and all
these nerds are making coaches take the foot out of
the game and cost some people points and games. Dan, Like,

(28:09):
just kick the field goal, take the points that are
in front of you. Stop going for touchdowns. Yeah, everybody
loves getting a touchdown. Oh yeah, look at my fantasy team.
I got touchdowns. Kick the field goals, you'll win games.
How are you down five with four minutes to go? Dan,
And you don't kick the field goal on fourth down?
When you when you get stuffed, then your defense gets

(28:30):
you the ball back again and you get stuffed again
running it. Look the same person who got stuffed the
last time. You should have just taken the point. This
is what Arthur Smith used to do, Dan, He would
he would go for the ball, go for a touchdown,
or go for it on fourth down and not take
the points and so many one possession losses. I can't

(28:50):
take it. And then I gotta listen to Barry and
Santa Fe with his lounge liged voice, just yucking it
up about the Mets winning. It's ruining, Dan, And it
just started I cannot take this anymore.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
All right, all right, sorry about that. All Yeah, I
feel like this is therapy. Like I'm just listening to
people Tyler and iowa by Tyler, what's on your mind?

Speaker 10 (29:17):
Hey Dan, A long time, first time five eight one sixty.
I just wanted to call in because I was listening.
I listened every day and I work for the station
here in Des Moine that eighty works at and we
carry your show. So I listened to you every day,
and Shane and Irving I really think needs some therapy.

(29:38):
And I called in to find out is that a
caricature of a real human being or is that an
actual human being?

Speaker 2 (29:44):
No, that is actually a human being?

Speaker 10 (29:48):
Really got to I kind of called in, kind of joking,
but I'm kind of actually serious. I really think that
she I don't know, have you ever heard the expression,
you're the exact right of upset about this, Like I like,
you know, a broken phone or something simple and you go,

(30:10):
you're and it calms them down right. And I think
that somebody needs to say that to Shay a lot,
like you're the exact right amount of upset about the
cowboys about this about your bets. I just feel really.
I feel for the guy, and I think he needs
to take a break from football or something. It's entertaining.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
Of course, Well he can't, Tyler. I've had conversations with him,
but he's been in rehab, he's been in jail. People
people ask if Shay is a real guy, and I said,
he's absolutely who he is, absolutely good and bad. But
he's very smart, he's entertaining, he's funny, but you know

(30:50):
he's he's been through a lot in his life. But
you have to want to go, or you know, feel
like you need to go. I'm sure sure he's been
in therapy. He might be in therapy for all I know.
It means so much to him. He said, Look, I
can't I can't chante. This is who I am. Can't change.

(31:11):
And I would think somebody who's been through the things
that he's been through, he's had change, he's made changes,
got a wonderful wife, three daughters. But he's Shay when
he's at home as well. It's he's a fascinating guy.
The two people on the show that I always get

(31:32):
asked about Fritzy. Is he really like that? Yes, Shae?
Is he really like that?

Speaker 3 (31:37):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (31:38):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (31:38):
Pain, Yeah, that's uh. For those of you are a
new ish to Shay eight or nine years ago, I
think it was much worse. I think this is a
calmer version.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
Yeah, you might be right. He's way more subdued now
than he used to be, way more Wait, although if
you hear him at the last hour, top of the hour,
he joined us and expressed his frustration over the cowboys.
That says off the rails as he sounded in five, six,
seven years. So it's real, it's real. All right, let

(32:12):
me take a break last golf for phone calls. What
we learn, what's in store tomorrow, this day in sports history.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
Right after this, be sure to catch the live edition
of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern
six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAP.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Why are we playing Bruce Springsteen? Today?

Speaker 7 (32:32):
Is Bruce Springsteen's birthday?

Speaker 2 (32:35):
Okay, let's guess his age.

Speaker 4 (32:38):
Guess his age.

Speaker 2 (32:39):

Speaker 7 (33:01):

seventy five years old today.

Speaker 8 (33:10):
Okay, come on birthday?

Speaker 5 (33:14):
Hold now, where's my cake?

Speaker 2 (33:18):
Saquon Barkley will join us on the program tomorrow? What
better way?

Speaker 5 (33:25):
That's what I sent to you, guys with lots of
exclamation points in the text.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
I know what I was talking.

Speaker 5 (33:31):
I'm sorry interrupted, I got excited.

Speaker 11 (33:32):
Again around the ball man, you got like draws Now,
Saquon Barkley will be on the program tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
It feels like a Friday on a Monday. I don't
know why. By the way, on this day in twenty seventeen,
Saquon Barkley rushes for two hund eleven yards, had ninety
four yards, receiving Penn State rollies to beat I on

(34:04):
with twenty one nineteen. Wow, okay, how about that fun fun? Yeah?
I don't know if I'm stealing Pauli's this Dane sports history.
If you had that one.

Speaker 4 (34:12):
Now, that's a nice one. I think there was a
night game.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
Yeah. I think that was his kind of coming out party,
wasn't it were We're like, wow, look at that guy.
All right, this daye sports history ball.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
I just got a couple. The eighteen eighteen forty five,
the Knickerbocker Baseball Club of New York was formed by
Alexander Joe Cartwright. It was the first professional paid baseball
team in America. So that's what the name before the
Knicks got it the New York Knicks basketball team. Then
two thousand and one, Barry Bonds hit home runs sixty
five and sixty six to Tye Sammy Sosa for the

(34:44):
second most home runs in the season.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
Nineteen eighty eight, Jose Conseko becomes the first member of
baseball's forty forty club. I like how he brought that up.
When he was saying he was congratulating Shoheo Tani of
being the first fifty fifty. I think Jose was like, well,
it was the first member of the forty forty club.
It's like most of the guys in these clubs shouldn't be.

(35:09):
They got in there illegally. They had a fake id
going into these forty forty clubs. But Jose Canseiko still
hit one of the longest home runs ever. Was that
the sky dome that he hit one and it would
have gone out of the dome if there's no dome
there probably would have gone out of the building there.
Let me see James in Virginia. Big night for James

(35:30):
in Virginia. How about them commanders, Ah.

Speaker 12 (35:34):
Thank you for taking my call. Brother, Happy Monday, Judt Dan.
That so lupa commanders man, love the burden in gold.
But I don't think defensively they got it tonight. I
think Joe Burrow lights them up for like twenty eight
maybe like a twenty eight seventeen kind of game.

Speaker 10 (35:48):
Man.

Speaker 12 (35:48):
But hey, I got advice for all of you, the callers.

Speaker 10 (35:51):
Man.

Speaker 12 (35:52):
You can't be disappointed if you don't have high expectations. Man,
So temper the expectations. Because man, I hate the Cowboys,
but I feel for and Irvin man for sure, for sure.
But what a great weekend of football from Friday to Sunday,
all weekend longs just great games man. In the NFL Bow,
I'm completely surprised by the Pittsburgh Steelers defensively in the

(36:13):
second half. Five sacks, negative five toty yards, No point, man,
they are playing some ball and I am not selling
my sock on the Arizona Cardinals.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
Man.

Speaker 12 (36:22):
Yeah, they're one and two, but they played two of
the best teams in the NFL and held their own.
I think they're definitely a playoff team looking to make
a push. I can't believe to come back by the Rams. Man,
what a great weekend again, y'all have a wonderful game, gentleman.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
To Luke the Commanders alrighty James, James gets more in
there than anybody such as I love. I love the
Arizona Cardinal uniforms. I thought they were they were sharp,
much improt normally a black all black, but but man,
that red, that red pops. And it also helps having

(36:56):
Marvin Harrison Junior the third there. But I was all
in on those. How about we, uh, do we write
the headlines tomorrow's headlines today? Paul? Do you have a
headline tomorrow today?

Speaker 4 (37:09):
I'll go with Game one, Jag off ball. Jacksonville loses again.
I had to get it before Fritzy.

Speaker 5 (37:16):
Did I scratch that off?

Speaker 4 (37:18):
Okay, I'll go second game Joe cools off, Bengals lose
to Commanders.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
Whoah, Todd, you want to counter.

Speaker 5 (37:27):
I've got Bill's Mafia, Berry's Jag season still winless and
for the second game, I have putting the w in
who day. Not the time to salute the commanders.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Okay, all right, see no Connor, it's gonna be.

Speaker 6 (37:42):
All in instead of Alan all In, Bill Bill's Mafia
could have given you a little more time, All all in,
all in, Josh, ma, when are we going to stop
glamorizing mafia?

Speaker 2 (37:58):
By the way, Uh yeah, just tell that to my family.
They keep saying, don't be there's not organized crime, Marvin.

Speaker 7 (38:08):
Whatever your family says, Josh Cooks Bill's dominate like Josh Allen,
James Cook and Josh cos.

Speaker 2 (38:18):
Okay, all right, all right, yeah a little combo platter.
There got anything on Commander's Bengals.

Speaker 7 (38:24):
I sure don't.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
Okay, Oh he did make sure. Yeah, Adam in la hi, Adam,
what's on your mind today?

Speaker 3 (38:35):
Hey DP, good morning, Good morning, guys. Had a fabulous
weekend with the family as usual, but it couldn't have
been better without a show Ao tohany siding yesterday, tying
the game up in the ninth. The guy just doesn't quit.
It's amazing. I think I called about a month ago,
called my shot fifty to fifty. The guys just surpassing
that and keep doing amazing things. And then Mookie right
behind him and the walk off back to back home.

(38:57):
It's pretty amazing. And then again the Rams want to
win yesterday. Uh, super proud of that fight in that
team missing the Cup of missing Cup, getting their keep
teeth kicked into the Cardinals last week, turn around, and
then beating the Niners. Yes, say, what a great weekend. Thanks, Hope,
you guys have a great week.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
Yeah, that's one of those where the Niners are roughing
them up and then all of a sudden came back. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (39:20):
Mark, losing that game at home is just terrible, Like,
you can't lose it without your two best players on
the Rams are out. You lose at home?

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Yeah, yeah, go ahead, DP sor Yeah, it could be
a long year for you, Mark.

Speaker 7 (39:35):
Well, I don't say that. I'm not Shane irving my
forty nine to get it together.

Speaker 3 (39:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
Uh final final results of any pole question.

Speaker 3 (39:43):
We need to.

Speaker 6 (39:46):
Well, I'm gonna speak like that's the only thing running
through my head right now.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
The worst win of the weekend right now.

Speaker 6 (39:51):
The Eagles have that at about forty six percent of
the vote, followed by Michigan.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
Not a great win by Michigan. Uha Bark On the
program tomorrow, Todd, what did you learn today?

Speaker 5 (40:02):
Tyler and Iowa are very concerned about Shane Irving Fields.
He really needs therapy and was hoping he was a character,
not a real person.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
Seat no' connor, what did you learn? John Gruden's got
an exciting new opportunity. He's very happy to talk about.
He doesn't want to talk about a loss. Marvin, what
did you learn?

Speaker 7 (40:19):
Shay had the worst weekend of his life and that
included a stint in jail.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
Paulie, what did you learn?
