A lot of baseball last night, the Padres clinched their
playoff spot in dramatic fashion over the Dodgers with a
triple play to end the game.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Show.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Hey, who was in the on deck circle now has
fifty three home runs fifty five stolen bases, so he
didn't add to those totals last night. The White Sox
hold off infamy, but don't fret. There's still time for
them to lose one more game to become the worst
franchise in baseball history. And the Astros do not go away.
(01:20):
It's been like eight years. They do not go away.
They clinched the American League West. The Orioles have a
postseason spot as well, so there's a lot of fun
things happening in the final days of the season. The
Astros beating the Mariners to clinch the West. So that's
four consecutive American League West titles. Orioles Padres have clinched
the top wild card spots in the AL and the NL,
(01:41):
so six teams still alive for the remaining two spots,
currently held by the Royals and the Tigers. I think
the Tigers had less than one percent to be able
to make the playoffs in August. Less than one percent.
It's been a great story. Three teams are fighting for
two spots in the National League, Mets, Diamondbacks, Braves, all
(02:02):
separated by one game. And if you look back now,
this is recent history. Of course, Arizona made the World Series.
They won eighty four games, struggled to get into the postseason.
The Phillies finished third in the East. In twenty twenty two,
they made it to the World Series and then the
twenty twenty one Atlanta Braves a losing record at the
All Star break, and then they were able to win everything.
(02:24):
It's always interesting, I bring it up. Those teams that
are in playoff mode before the playoffs are always a
dangerous out and we've seen that the last three years.
All right, pole question, Today we say good morning to
our radio affiliates around the country, numbering over four hundred cities.
What's the poll question for hour one?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Well, we were kind of going with a positivity wednesday.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Woo, that's rare.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
So I'm gonna spin this into a positive in the
you can only go up from here?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Pole question.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Franchise in the worst shape. Oh no, hey, you can
only go up from here. That's great. The franchise in
the worst shape. The Carolina Panthers, they seem to be
in real disarray.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Well, I don't know, after that big win against the Raiders,
maybe they are back.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
That to me just shows how lost they really are.
The fact that that happened, Well, one of us wasn't
surprised with that with the red rifle now obvious. Okay,
I would say so Carolina Panthers. Yes, the Chicago White
Sox clearly in not great shape historically. By the way,
they haven't heard this very often this season. This is
(03:33):
how it sounded last night with the White Sox game
with the Angels.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
This trick deal, Panderson will walking over the first and history.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
You'll have to wait because the Socks would have come
back at the end kiting. They get the three to
win and win the opener of this three game series.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Courtesy of NBC Sports Chicago.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
And yes, the home crowd is booing because the White
Sox ended up winning the game.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
They're boeing because they won. Yes, classic, that's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
It's like, damn it, we're here to see history. You
screwed it up.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
They actually had a decent crowd last night for the
game against the Angels. All right, so we have the
White Sox, we have the Panthers. Who else you're throwing
in there?
Speaker 4 (04:16):
We're putting the Oakland A's in there for sure. Boy,
the Oakland A's are.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Just a disaster.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Would you rather be an Oakland A's fan or a
Chicago White Sox fan White Sox all day, all day.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Okay, yes, tod it's an embarrassing season, but at least
they're staying there and there's better times ahead and they're
not leaving the city altogether. At some point they're going
to turn it around.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I think there were chants of selling the team last
night in Chicago, so they they may be staying, but
it's one of those we don't want you to stay.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Yes, Yeah, Chicago is kind of a one team town too,
you know what I mean the Bears. You have the Bears,
you have the Bulls. Then baseball is split between the two.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah. Still it's a Cubs town when it comes to
baseball because of the atmosphere there. But I mean still
it's a Bear's town. Stat of the Day brought to
you by Panini America, the official Trading cards of the
DP show. All Right, who else are we adding to
the list? Well, we have room for others, for sure.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
It doesn't I was trying to go through NBA franchises
and it doesn't feel like any are quite on the
same level as these teams. Like the Pistons are down
right now, but they're not like train Wreck, the Wizards
are sort of always a punchline, but they have a
little bit of steady like arena drama.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
I think too, but.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
They're not No, that's NBA purgatory. When you're bad, like
you've been a bad boy, they send you like not
a bad boy, Piston bad boy. When you've got in trouble,
you're not good, We're going to send you to the Wizards.
It's like getting basketball's equivalent of a timeout.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
You go to the Wizards.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
It's like big paycheck, big attitude, low performance.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Yeah, go to the Wizards. Come on out the rest
of this contract. But it does feel like the.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Clippers should be in there because the Clippers haven't done anything.
There have been expectations, and I know that they're a
playoff team. I saw Kawhi Leonard had another knee procedure.
I guess in the offseason he's had as many as
I have. Man, But it feels like the Clippers, even
though they're good, we we kind of lumped them in
(06:19):
there because they're the great underachievers.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
But they're you know, seem to be moving in a
good direction, right are they?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Paul George not there anymore? Kawhi knee issues you're in
the shadow.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Of the Lakers. Not to get a fancy plow.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yeah, like a fancy arena to watch your team underachieve. Yeah, yes, Pauline.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
Sham Sharania just this morning to throw a little sprinkle
in here. Clipper star Kawhi Leonard underwent a knee procedure
in the off season. Sources told him. The franchise said
Leonard will be limited to strengthening his knee during training camp.
That seems like a schedule tweet, by.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
The way, Yeah, game management. And here we come with
with Kawhi, I would I'll.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
Throw the Brooklyn Nets into a hopeless situation. They're considered
one of the worst teams. They seem. Three years ago
they were one of the more interesting, compelling, talented teams
in the NBA, and now they're floundering.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
But I think Ben Simmons has been working on his jumper.
Stop it yeah with Chris uh, that's Chris Brinkley. Yeah, yeah,
he is back.
Speaker 7 (07:34):
Okay, yes, Mark, it's a tradition unlike any other Ben
Simmons summer workouts.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Yeah, a plus content.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
But also with the Nets, no one cares if they
win the NBA title. The parade in New York, so
the Knicks day Inland, okay, but.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
What's the Clippers parade gonna look like if the Clippers win.
Steven Palmer, well, yeah, that'll be entertaining. Kauhid probably miss
it due to a you know, parade parade. Man, I'm
gonna have to get the next one. I'm not ready
for this one. I'm gonna sit this one out. Yes, Paul,
(08:13):
it does feel.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
Like over the past generation or so, the Clippers have
developed a nice fan base. Clearly, you can't be the Lakers,
but I bet a lot of people started following them.
They could get tickets there when the Lakers were hard
to get a ticket, and they seem much more relevant
than the Brooklyn Nets on the East Coast.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I think, well, I think because there's expectations, then there's
there's more disappointment. There's no expectations with the Nets. So
you can't say, man, I'm disappointed Carolina Panthers. You can't
say you're disappointed. Your expectations can't be very high. So
I think that's where the Clippers you kind of lump
them in there a little bit because they've been bad,
(08:51):
they got good. We thought they were going to be
really good, and then they disappointed year in and year out.
You know, you have the hardened experiment and playing Paul
George and then Kawhi and you know, we we thought
they'd figured it out and then we realized that they hadn't.
All right, So that's a possible poll question for the
first tower. Okay, I think we run with that.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
I'd also be curious to know which, if we had
to only choose one, which one is in worse shape?
Speaker 3 (09:18):
The White Sox are the A's of those two?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Well, I think the A's going to Las Vegas. Eventually,
they're going to be in Sacramento. But if you eventually
get to Vegas, it's almost like you kind of wash
away everything, like you're a new team in a new
town and hopefully, you know, well, we're gonna find out
if they're going to embrace baseball there. But I think
that might be a better situation. I think financially, you're
(09:44):
tapping into a whole new market there. Everybody wants to
get to Vegas. The NBA wants to put a team
in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
There.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
We've got a football team in there. Now baseball is
going to be there. So I would say i'd probably
rather be Oakland the artist form known as the A's
going to a new town with a lot of potential.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Yeah, is the A's.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Leaving Oakland getting enough attention? I don't think they got
enough attention even when they were there. So the attention
they're getting is because they're leaving. But you're lump it
in with the Raiders, and you lumping in with Golden State,
and I mean that's devastating for what was once a
great sports city.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Yeah, I think.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Because they're not good. If if Oakland was good and
didn't draw people, I think that might be a little
bit more interesting. But just nobody has cared for a
few years now, and I think, yeah, all right, they're leaving,
see you later.
Speaker 8 (10:44):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I know there's diehards there that truly love watching baseball
and have a tradition with the Oakland A's going back
to the seventies. But I think because they're bad. I
just and they're doing it during football season two, where
you know, a lot of story you know, go to
die during football season. Yes, Pauline.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
One thing with the A's, there's a lot of teams
that have been worse on the field over the past decade.
Though the A's have made six playoffs in the past
fourteen years. There's a lot of franchise that would take that.
I'd like to throw the La Angels into this poll question.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Shoot.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Three years ago they were a five hundred team with
sho Heo Tani and Mike Trout. Now Mike Trout is career,
I don't know where it is, and shoe Atani is
the biggest player on earth for the crosstown team.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Yeah, I think they're talking about Mike Trout probably changing
positions because of all the injuries, and there's even talk
of could the Angels get out from underneath that contract
and what it would cost them. I mean, that's that's
a fall from grace. But we saw this coming. We
kept saying, if you're ardi moreno, either sell the team
or make sure you get something for show Heyo Tani
(11:50):
because he wasn't going to stay. Coming up a little
bit later on Tommy John. Tommy John, was it fifty
years ago to that he had Tommy John's surgery?
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Tod That is correct, exactly fifty years ago today.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
The injury happened in.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
July seventeenth, but the actual surgery happened today, fifty years ago.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Maybe we can get him to into the Hall of
Fame two hundred and eighty eight wins for him, But
I don't know when Tommy John goes in, he doesn't
go in and say, hey, I want to have the
Tommy John surgery. Give me the me What was the
Tommy John surgery called before Tommy John? So Tommy will
join us coming up next hour, and with he has
(12:31):
over five hundred decisions, wins and losses over five hundred.
I think he's two eighty eight and two thirty one
and he's not in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Contributions
to the game and two hundred and eighty eight wins
seems like that would be enough to get him in.
But we'll talk to Tommy coming up.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Yes, Todd, would you take pride.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
In the surgery being named after you or be like, ugh,
I wish it was called, you know, job surgery or
anything other than my name.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Because good things have come from it. Yeah, but it
was a it was considered a negative thing. If you
went in for Tommy John. That was like back in
the seventies, going in for acl surgery, you're pretty much done,
you know, Gail Sayirs goes in, he had had three
great years and then blew out his knee. I think
he had one good year after that got into the
(13:21):
Hall of Fame. I think because of how he got
injured and the fact that what he could have done,
what he could have been sort of like Terrell Davis
a little bit there. But yeah, that was that was
pretty much a death sentence for a picture if you
had to go in for that surgery. Now it's almost
like a badge of courage, like, hey, you're going in
(13:41):
for a TJ surgery?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Yeah good? Oh your third one?
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Oh okay, yeah see yeah, it's like preemptive now where
you just get it younger and younger to get it
out of the way. Tommy John surgery. But yeah, I
wouldn't imagine that you would be happy with your name
being attached to something that makes everyone immediately grimace, you know,
where you're like.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Oh yeah, Tommy John.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Uh, you don't really think of the pitcher first, you
think of the surgery, you know, I don't know, it
just seems tough, do you.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I wonder how he feels about a surgery named after him,
because it's made him relevant, but it kind of overshadowed
his career that and he pitched in big markets. He
pitched in LA, pitched in Chicago, and two hundred and
eighty eight wins. Now you can say, okay, he's a compiler,
but still Frank Gore is a compiler. But Frank Gore
(14:35):
has what thirteen thousand rushing yards gonna be a Hall
of Famer. And I still think Tommy at two hundred
and eighty eight wins should be.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
In the Hall of Fame. And his era is like
three point three to one or something like that. Yes time,
But now.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
From a positive standpoint, you can say it up. I
thought my career was over, but thanks to Tommy John surgery,
I live another day on the mountain, I'm not done.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
And you ever, he wasn't able to cash in. You know,
if it was happening now he probably do you know
one of those commercials where Hi, I'm Tommy John and
I can help revitalize your career if you have the
Tommy John surgery.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Yeah maybe not? All right?
Speaker 2 (15:17):

Speaker 2 (16:05):
We'll get to phone calls. Coming up mentioned the Padres
have won nine of their last ten. There within two
games of the NLS leading Dodgers. I mentioned the Tigers.
They had a zero point two percent chance to make
the playoffs on August eleventh, but a win last night
now their chances are just under eighty three percent. These
(16:26):
teams that struggle to get into the postseason, no matter what,
the sport always dangerous. Go down through history, you'll find teams.
Packers won a Super Bowl wild card, The Giants is
a wild card twice. We've seen the Braves that they
were a losing record at the All Star Break and
ended up winning the World Series a couple of years ago.
(16:48):
Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the program Play the Day
in the on deck circle. A couple of things here.
Mike Tomlin was talking about his quarterbacking situation, or sort
of talking about his quarterbacking situation.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I feel bad for the media in Pittsburgh trying to
get something out of Mike Tomlin because he almost seems
like he's scolding you when he gives you an answer.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
So here he is. Well, it starts with the question
what more do you need to see it from justin?
Why not name than the starting quarterback?
Speaker 9 (17:23):
Because there's no need I explain to you the variables
of the week. It has not changed. He's gonna walk
in this building with that mindset tomorrow, and so I
really there's no need to Sometimes in this business man,
there's a myriad of complex decisions that need to be made.
I've learned to make them when it's appropriate and it's
not necessary. As we sit here right now, when Russ
(17:45):
gets to an appropriate point of health and we have
a decision to make. I'll make it and i'll announce it,
and I'll be really transparent about it. But until then,
I don't care how many ways you guys asked me.
I got no intentions of making the decision that's unnecessary
at this juncture.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
It's the same thing.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
You feel like you're shrinking every word that he utters,
that he's kind of scolding you, like, how dare you.
I'll tell you what I want to tell you. I'll
be transparent. But when Russ comes back, and then Justin
comes in, and Bill Belichick said on a Pat McAfee show,
everyone's worried about Pittsburgh's quarterbacking situation. They might have the
(18:24):
best one in the league. Well, the best quarterbacking situation
in the league to me is Patrick Mahomes. How about
we take that off the board, and then I would say,
Josh Allen might be the second best quarterbacking situation.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Now, we are spending a lot of money, fifty million.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Dollars on your quarterback, and I guess what Belichick is saying,
you've got two quarterbacks combined or making less than five
million dollars a year. Well, there's a reason why they're
making less than five million dollars a year because they
were kicked to the curb by their former teams. Now,
do I think that Justin Fields has the talent to
be a starting quarterback? I do, I always have. Do
(19:01):
I think Pittsburgh has a great situation. I don't because
I don't know if they have a starting quarterback. I
think they have two who can play starting quarterback. And
I think there's a big difference in that. Look at
the offense. That offense is not good at all without
the defense. They're not undefeated, and let's say they were
zero to three. Does Bill Belichick feel like the Steelers
(19:24):
would have maybe the best situation quarterback wise? And the
answer is no, Yes, Paulan.
Speaker 6 (19:31):
The Steelers last year at this time had the twenty
eighth ranked offensive football. That was the Kenny Pickett era
and a little Mason Rudolph. This year they've upped just
to twenty four. Their defense is the number one ranked
defense in football.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
After three weeks, the Steelers look to win their first
four games for the second time under Mike Tomlin, fifth
time in franchise history. They are at Indianapolis coming up
this weekend, and the defense has been wonderful because they've
allowed ten or less points in each of those wins,
and it hasn't happened that often here in recent memory.
(20:05):
So they're undefeated on the road. But I don't think
this is a great quarterbacking situation, at least right now,
because I don't know what Russ is going to be
like when he is out there, and Justin Fields is
healthy and they're still not scoring points. Minnesota will be
at green Bay. This is awesome. Minnesota undefeated at green Bay.
Last time the Vikings started out four to oh twenty sixteen.
(20:31):
This would be the fifth time since two thousand and
they lead the NFL with sixteen sacks so far. I'm
assuming Jordan Love is going to be ready to play.
I haven't seen any preliminary reports, but Malik Willis has
done an unbelievable job filling in the other undefeated teams.
So Kansas City will be at the Chargers, and we
(20:51):
don't know the available ability of Justin Herbert got a
couple of injuries, as is per usual with the Chargers.
Chargers two and one. Chiefs are three to zero. Buffalo
at Baltimore. So Baltimore goes to Dallas and wins Now
comes home and here's Buffalo undefeated going to Baltimore. Weren't
(21:12):
they in the same draft. Josh was a seventh overall pick.
Lamar the thirty second overall pick. Was that the twenty
eighteen draft. And I mean, what's interesting is you got
Josh Allen second in NFL history among quarterbacks with fifty
five rushing touchdowns fifty five. Now you would think Lamar
(21:34):
Jackson would be the guy who'd had that number, Cam
Newton seventy five. But that draft where Josh went, and
then Lamar Jackson goes thirty second. Seattle's undefeated going to Detroit.
That is spicy Seattle. Last time they started out four
to oh was twenty thirteen. And Mike McDonald quietly has
(21:54):
done a nice job with the Seattle team. They have
some weapons. Gino can be a hit or miss. They
can run the football. So Seattle in Detroit and then
Dallas coming up on Thursday night against the Giants. Both
teams are one and two. This is gonna be far
more interesting. Now if the Cowboys lose to the Giants
(22:17):
dot dot dot or the Giants if they lost to
the Cowboys, I don't think would be as big of
a shocker, but if they beat Dallas. Now, all of
a sudden, Dallas is one in three, and I think
Jerry Jones, didn't Jerry come out and say, I know
a lot of people think I might be the problem, Like, okay,
this is the first step here, Jerry.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
It's a little late. Make amends people think that I
could be the problem.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Yeah, there's a few that think that, Jerry. But he
came around to acknowledging that. But some you know, those
are some of the big games coming up this weekend,
Baker Mayfield. Yes, off the topic, you were just hitting there. Okay,
are the best teams in the NFL right now? Three
and oh or two in one?
Speaker 4 (23:05):
If you start looking, you have Bills, Chiefs, Seahawks, Vikings.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Steelers are all three and oh yeah, right yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Then if you look at the teams that are two
and one, it's Jets, Chargers, Texans, Commanders, Eagles, Lions, Packers, Saints, Bucks.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
That's a good group of teams. It's a lot of teams,
so I get a lot to choose from there.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
It feels weird to say, though, that the best teams
in the league have already lost a game, while there's
teams that are undefeated, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Yeah, you could always look at Vegas and how they
view things. They don't really change their Super Bowl picks
in the first three weeks. Vegas odds, like the Steelers
don't have better Super Bowl odds right now than the Ravens.
For the Houston Texans still have great superol odds, but
it really doesn't matter. Like the Eagles have better Super
Bowl odds than the Commanders, but they have the same record.
It doesn't really fluctuate the Vikings. The Detroit Lions right
(24:02):
now had better Super Bowl odds than the Vikings, and
their records are worse.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
And once again, they don't place their speculation or bets
whatever on emotion. It's just they look at it and go,
this is how good we think this team is going
to be. They're playing the long game. We react right
away after a team wins or loses. We're like, I'm
all in or I'm all out with these teams. Now,
the Buccaneers feel good story, Baker Mayfield, he was playing great.
(24:31):
All of a sudden, they're going to be at home
and then they get surprised. They get surprised by the
Denver Broncos. Now, prior to that game last week, Baker
Mayfield talked about Tom Brady in the atmosphere that was
around the Buccaneers when Brady was there.
Speaker 8 (24:49):
Playing wise, Tom was different. He had everybody dialed in
high strong environments. So I think everybody's pretty stressed out.
So for me, and everybody was expecting the Bucks to
not be good last year, so they wanted me to
come in and be myself, you know, bring the joy
back to football a little bit for guys that weren't
having as much fun, and just continue to raise the
(25:09):
competition level. So they just asked me to be myself,
and like as a as a player, you really can't
ask for much more than that. You hear some of
the stories about if he didn't like a certain play
call and he didn't like it throughout the week and
they still call it in the game. There might have
been a throwaway on purpose, they're throwing at the running
back or receiver's feet.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
There's just there's a lot of mind games going on
from a point that it wasn't the right call. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Yeah, So that's a recent appearance on Kasa de Club podcast,
but that was prior to the lass to the Broncos
in Tampa.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Yes, Ston Baker.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Wasn't there when Tom was there? Right, No, they never
liked Cross. No, so he's just like hearing that stuff.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
He's yes, sources close to him or saying that we
were on edge and we didn't have fun. You know
what is fun when you win a Super Bowl? Like
all always take that fun over everything. Winning is fun.
Do I think Tom Brady had people on edge? Absolutely? Absolutely?
Did he play mind games?
Speaker 3 (26:12):
I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Yeah, if somebody has, you know, a story to tell me,
then great, maybe he did. He's one of the ultimate competitors.
I'll take that. I mean, there are a lot of players,
a lot of athletes who are lethargic when it comes
to this, like maybe the money I'm getting, Like Brady
was obsessed with showing the Patriots they made a mistake,
(26:34):
showing people that he didn't need Bill Belichick, and that's
why he was probably even hyper competitive there. I have
no problem with that. I want an alpha dog. I
want somebody who all, right, you may not like it.
The Packers didn't like Vince Lombardi. They're all turned out
to be champions, Hall of famers, successful business people because
(26:56):
they listened to Vince Lombardi.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
You don't have to like, you just have to respect.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Yes, he Baker is now bringing the fun back to
football on his fourth teams, spreading the fun. I just
like to go team to team and you know, really
revived the locker room, get a lot of fun, and
then get out of there, jump to the next one
that just needs a revival there in the locker room.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Just a lot a little more fun then, you know,
compared to what it used to be.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
You know, when the priest walks up the eye with
the holy water and you know he's splashing you, That's
kind of what Baker's doing. He's just splashing fun holy
water on there, to.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Bring the fun back. That's all, you know, guys, let's
loosten up a little bit. Okay, it's football, it's fun.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
Yes, that's the first time I heard that cut in context.
And I don't think Baker's, may you know, ripping Tom Brady.
I think he's just being honest about the culture he
heard about before he got there.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
To me, if you can be honest, but you can
still be ripping. Yeah, yes, he's being honest. But it
certainly felt like a shot that Tom Brady created this
environment here I'll bet Brady.
Speaker 6 (27:59):
Loves it when he hears that, like I had everybody
on edge, I had everybody nervous, mission accomplished, you know not.
He probably won't even look at it as a rip.
I don't think he would.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Yeah, maybe I don't know if he is ripping Tom
Brady or not. But when he says I heard Tom
used to throw the ball away on purpose when he
didn't like a play, call, is sure feels rippy. Sure
feels like you know, he was kind of a bit
a baby at Petty and would pout and throw the
ball away on plays even if it was a good play,
just because he didn't like to play.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
That's how I this feels like, Hey, whoever is hosting
Cosa de Club, Baker's comfortable there in just talking and
sometimes you forget that, Hey I'm doing I'm on a
podcast with somebody.
Speaker 10 (28:44):
I know.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
You don't realize that it's going to go viral, you know, like, oh,
it's a local podcast here, Oh I do a local
radio show, and then all of a sudden it's on
national TV or national radio. And now all of a
sudden it's going to be a Baker.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Is this a on atmosphere?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
And was it a fun atmosphere last week when you
guys lost to the Broncos. Yes, Bunny, nothing good happens
at the club. You stay out of the club club, Doug,
club after the club. Yeah, at the club club. When's
the last time anybody was at a club after midnight.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
Nightclub where it's like the focus is dancing.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Well, no, it's bottle service, That's what the focus is.
Has anybody been.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
I don't know that I've ever been to a place
like and gotten bottle service. I don't even know anything
even like that.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
It happened one time, probably in the last fifteen years,
and I was shocked when they brought over just a
bottle of vodka and they said, you know, that'll be
five hundred dollars, and I went, wait, what do I
get with that? Then they laughed and I went, wait,
I'm not laughing like I that's five hundred dollars for
(30:00):
bottle service, and I can I get a beer now?
I was afraid how much a beer was gonna cost. Well,
that'd be two fifty.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
We worked the NFL draft a couple times back at ESPN,
and we went out with the draft experts that we
brought in like Simon Rice and to Keo Spikes and
different players like this. And there was one of those
bottle service setups and I saw the bill and Simeon
Rice is sitting there, you know, very famous, well paid
football player. It was like twenty three hundred dollars for
the group. I'm like, I got thirty seven bucks on
(30:30):
me were split in the six ways.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Let me do the math. Yeah, bottle service at the club. Yes,
Marvin does a day party count I went to.
Speaker 7 (30:41):
I worked the All Star Game in two thousand and
was sixteen or seventeen, and I was out with my man,
George Saddano from ESPN, and it was maybe one of
the five best parties ever been to in my life.
Bottle service. All that sun was out, Dolphins were there,
heat players were there, some women's It was unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Careful, Oh I just said. I just said women's. Oh
I didn't.
Speaker 7 (31:05):
I didn't partake.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Okay, was there bottles? Did you have to pay for
bottle service? I did not?
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Okay, Well, yeah, it could be far more enjoyable until
you sit down in your booth and then they say,
you know, that'd be five hundred dollars not as much
fun with the Women's and Fellows celebrities there. You got
that five hundred and then if somebody wants to order
another bottle, and then you're like, I think it's signed
(31:31):
for me to leave, I'm gonna I don't have you know,
my per diem is not going to cover this right
for the mother Show. Yes, when when we worked at
ESPN and we'd be on the road and you had
to have a receipt for everything, and I remember you're
trying to, you know, validate something that could have been
(31:53):
you know, fifty dollars, and or if you bought somebody dinner,
they wanted the names of everybody that you bought dinner for, Yes,
and then they wanted to know if there were contact
numbers that they were going to see if you bought
somebody dinner. I'm like, damn, we are scraping by at
the mother Ship.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
Yeah, it's definitely possible that I've filled out expense reports
where there were say a dozen people at dinner and
maybe there was four of us.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Statun limitations, or you make up fictitious names where you
know it's Jimmy Lippers went sat down with us one
time at ESPN.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
We used to do that when they had the ESPN
Zone in Times Square and I used to have to
go down there on Fridays with you, I think, and
would do the show and I would like expense everybody's lunch.
But a few times people would come in and buy
beers for themselves and they would be like, you know,
because it was you know, one to four in the
afternoon or whatever, and people would have a couple of beers,
and then I would try to expense those and people
(32:56):
would be like, no, like you have to pay for that,
and I'm like, I'm not buying Rick Riley's beers for
him or whoever, like, get the hell out.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Of here, not what?
Speaker 2 (33:04):
And then you would, you know, speaking of Rick Riley,
I have a story that happened to me yesterday. Play

The way tire buying should be. All right, I'm playing
golf yesterday, playing golf at a place called Belgrade Lake's
Beautiful Place. Walk into the pro shop. Woman behind the
(34:42):
counter helping me. Wanted to get this hoodie sweatshirt that
I have on today. She says, Uh, I know you,
I said, you do huh? She goes yes. I said,
I don't think you do.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
She goes, h yes, I do know you. I said, okay,
who am I? She goes you are? Rick Riley and
I said no, no, I'm not, and she goes, yes
you are. I go, no, I'm not. And then she goes,
who are you? I said, Dan Patrick, and she goes,
can I get a picture? I said sure? And then
(35:19):
well you should refuse.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I was gonna say, but you didn't know who I was.
You thought I was Rick Riley and then you wanted
a picture. But she said, don't make fun of me
on your show. So I'm from this point there is
my way of getting back at her for calling me
Rick Ryley. I mean Rick Riley wonderful sports writer, but
not as good looking as me. And so I took
(35:43):
it personally, and it was a shot, so shot back
at her. Yes, Paul, we all.
Speaker 6 (35:49):
Know Rick Riley.
Speaker 10 (35:50):
Here.
Speaker 6 (35:50):
You and Rick Riley don't look much the same at all.
I mean you have different hair, different faces.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Well after he had his cosmetic surgery, we don't look
you said.
Speaker 9 (35:58):
It, not me.
Speaker 6 (36:00):
He does not wear glasses. You generally wear glasses.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Yes, yeah, I've been getting a lot of Steve Martin,
a lot of Steve Martin and I and look, I
appreciate that. I think he's, you know, one of the
more handsome men that I've ever seen and but it's,
you know, only murders in the building and that's why.
So I'm getting I'm getting a lot more of those.
(36:24):
I had a woman who was serving me a beer
two nights ago, and she said, tell me you have
an interesting first name, and I said Dan, and she
gave me a stink eye, scrunchy face. She she said, oh,
my god, so disappointing. And I go, yeah, I said,
you know what, and I said, well, what would have
been an interesting name? She goes, Miles. I said, all right,
(36:47):
call me Miles the rest of the evening. But she actually,
right in front of me scrunched her face up when
I told her my name was Dan, and she goes,
that's disappointing. I was hoping you had an interesting name.
Speaker 6 (36:59):
Yes, Paul, probably you get the most is sportscaster Jim Lampley. Correct,
I used to yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
And that was a compliment because Jim Lampley was easy
on the eyes. Yes, he had great error, but yeah,
Rick Riley, Steve Martin. When I was at a Jets
game and there was somebody in the front row of
a Jets fan and he is yelling at me, I'm
on the sidelines, covering it. And this is when I
worked at CNN so back in the eighties, and this
(37:27):
guy's yelling at me, screaming at me, and my producer said,
he's talking to you. Well, the guy is yelling out,
bleep you Lampley, bleep, screaming, and so I thought, okay,
he thinks I'm Jim Lampley. So I just turned around
and I gave him the finger and then turned back around.
So that guy probably to this day thinks that Jim
(37:50):
Lampley flipped him on. Thank you Tom. Early poll results
seatan early poll results.
Speaker 4 (37:57):
By the way, I was gonna say, man, that thinks
should be hoping that you reach for your wife for
a tip.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
After not having such an interesting name. Anyway, Yeah, franchise
in the worst shape right now.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
Your options are Carolina Panthers, Chicago White Sox, Oakland A's
or other.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
You want to guess. Oakland News.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
They're in second place right now, the Chicago White Sox
running away with it at forty five percent of the vote,
Carolina Panthers only getting sixteen All right, Panthers.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Yeah, maybe there's some people who believe in the Carolina Panthers.
Maybe there's a vision there Tom in North Carolina? Hi Tom,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 1 (38:37):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (38:37):
DP, Hey Tom?
Speaker 10 (38:41):
So I called the last time you were in Maine
and made a part of the face bet with Fritzy
that the Panthers and the Giants would win more games
this year. I would like to parlay that bet and
say that the Panthers will actually win enough games to
actually miss.
Speaker 7 (38:57):
Out on the number one and number two pick, so.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
The Panthers won't have the worst or second worst record
in the NFL. Yes, sir, Okay, does anybody want a
piece of Tom in North Carolina? That uh see Carolina
with the red rifle? I feel I feel a little
better about him. They might they might sneak in accidentally.
Uh win win a few games, Tom, So nobody's gonna
(39:24):
take you up on that. Now, do you have a
bet with Fritzie that the Panthers win more games than
the Broncos?
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (39:31):
Actually the Panthers and the Giants.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Oh okay, so you got you already had that bet? Okay,
all right, well, thank you Tom, and congratulations on that win.
So he's saying the Giants and the Panthers will be
better than Todd's Broncos.
Speaker 5 (39:45):
That is not gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
Okay, thank you, Tom is not gonna happen. Yeah, yeah,
it was like a Judge Jude promo or something not
gonna happen. What you're gonna do when bo Nicks runs
wild all over you? Are you now back to we?
Speaker 8 (40:10):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (40:10):
The Broncos. Okay, got that, they got that w they looked,
they looked nice.
Speaker 5 (40:14):
Ext shop in Tampa, Gona. I'm gonna go wi on
that until they have a disaster, I guess the jet
or something.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
Then in the Vegaga anybody you got your astros?
Speaker 5 (40:21):
Jersey One Quinch, d Ale West and Jeff Bagwell, big O,
Alan Ashby, all those guys.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Yeah again, Yeah, how many astros can you name? If
I all the eighty five astros? If I said I'll
give you one hundred dollars, I wouldn't get.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
The hundred dollars. You can keep that right in your pocket.
Speaker 5 (40:38):
Give read a whole lot of an eighties at least.
Speaker 3 (40:40):

Play of the Day, stat of the Day, poll question,
all of that forthcoming, and Operator Tyler sitting by for
(00:48):
your phone calls. Eight seven to seven three DP show.
A lot of baseball last night, the Padres clinched their
playoff spot in dramatic fashion over the Dodgers with a
triple play to end the game.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Show.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Hey, who was in the on deck circle now has
fifty three home runs fifty five stolen bases, so he
didn't add to those totals last night. The White Sox
hold off infamy, but don't fret. There's still time for
them to lose one more game to become the worst
franchise in baseball history. And the Astros do not go away.
(01:20):
It's been like eight years. They do not go away.
They clinched the American League West. The Orioles have a
postseason spot as well, so there's a lot of fun
things happening in the final days of the season. The
Astros beating the Mariners to clinch the West. So that's
four consecutive American League West titles. Orioles Padres have clinched
the top wild card spots in the AL and the NL,
(01:41):
so six teams still alive for the remaining two spots,
currently held by the Royals and the Tigers. I think
the Tigers had less than one percent to be able
to make the playoffs in August. Less than one percent.
It's been a great story. Three teams are fighting for
two spots in the National League, Mets, Diamondbacks, Braves, all
(02:02):
separated by one game. And if you look back now,
this is recent history. Of course, Arizona made the World Series.
They won eighty four games, struggled to get into the postseason.
The Phillies finished third in the East. In twenty twenty two,
they made it to the World Series and then the
twenty twenty one Atlanta Braves a losing record at the
All Star break, and then they were able to win everything.
(02:24):
It's always interesting, I bring it up. Those teams that
are in playoff mode before the playoffs are always a
dangerous out and we've seen that the last three years.
All right, pole question, Today we say good morning to
our radio affiliates around the country, numbering over four hundred cities.
What's the poll question for hour one?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Well, we were kind of going with a positivity wednesday.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Woo, that's rare.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
So I'm gonna spin this into a positive in the
you can only go up from here?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Pole question.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Franchise in the worst shape. Oh no, hey, you can
only go up from here. That's great. The franchise in
the worst shape. The Carolina Panthers, they seem to be
in real disarray.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Well, I don't know, after that big win against the Raiders,
maybe they are back.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
That to me just shows how lost they really are.
The fact that that happened, Well, one of us wasn't
surprised with that with the red rifle now obvious. Okay,
I would say so Carolina Panthers. Yes, the Chicago White
Sox clearly in not great shape historically. By the way,
they haven't heard this very often this season. This is
(03:33):
how it sounded last night with the White Sox game
with the Angels.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
This trick deal, Panderson will walking over the first and history.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
You'll have to wait because the Socks would have come
back at the end kiting. They get the three to
win and win the opener of this three game series.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Courtesy of NBC Sports Chicago.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
And yes, the home crowd is booing because the White
Sox ended up winning the game.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
They're boeing because they won. Yes, classic, that's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
It's like, damn it, we're here to see history. You
screwed it up.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
They actually had a decent crowd last night for the
game against the Angels. All right, so we have the
White Sox, we have the Panthers. Who else you're throwing
in there?
Speaker 4 (04:16):
We're putting the Oakland A's in there for sure. Boy,
the Oakland A's are.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Just a disaster.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Would you rather be an Oakland A's fan or a
Chicago White Sox fan White Sox all day, all day.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Okay, yes, tod it's an embarrassing season, but at least
they're staying there and there's better times ahead and they're
not leaving the city altogether. At some point they're going
to turn it around.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I think there were chants of selling the team last
night in Chicago, so they they may be staying, but
it's one of those we don't want you to stay.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Yes, Yeah, Chicago is kind of a one team town too,
you know what I mean the Bears. You have the Bears,
you have the Bulls. Then baseball is split between the two.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah. Still it's a Cubs town when it comes to
baseball because of the atmosphere there. But I mean still
it's a Bear's town. Stat of the Day brought to
you by Panini America, the official Trading cards of the
DP show. All Right, who else are we adding to
the list? Well, we have room for others, for sure.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
It doesn't I was trying to go through NBA franchises
and it doesn't feel like any are quite on the
same level as these teams. Like the Pistons are down
right now, but they're not like train Wreck, the Wizards
are sort of always a punchline, but they have a
little bit of steady like arena drama.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
I think too, but.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
They're not No, that's NBA purgatory. When you're bad, like
you've been a bad boy, they send you like not
a bad boy, Piston bad boy. When you've got in trouble,
you're not good, We're going to send you to the Wizards.
It's like getting basketball's equivalent of a timeout.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
You go to the Wizards.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
It's like big paycheck, big attitude, low performance.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Yeah, go to the Wizards. Come on out the rest
of this contract. But it does feel like the.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Clippers should be in there because the Clippers haven't done anything.
There have been expectations, and I know that they're a
playoff team. I saw Kawhi Leonard had another knee procedure.
I guess in the offseason he's had as many as
I have. Man, But it feels like the Clippers, even
though they're good, we we kind of lumped them in
(06:19):
there because they're the great underachievers.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
But they're you know, seem to be moving in a
good direction, right are they?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Paul George not there anymore? Kawhi knee issues you're in
the shadow.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Of the Lakers. Not to get a fancy plow.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yeah, like a fancy arena to watch your team underachieve. Yeah, yes, Pauline.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
Sham Sharania just this morning to throw a little sprinkle
in here. Clipper star Kawhi Leonard underwent a knee procedure
in the off season. Sources told him. The franchise said
Leonard will be limited to strengthening his knee during training camp.
That seems like a schedule tweet, by.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
The way, Yeah, game management. And here we come with
with Kawhi, I would I'll.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
Throw the Brooklyn Nets into a hopeless situation. They're considered
one of the worst teams. They seem. Three years ago
they were one of the more interesting, compelling, talented teams
in the NBA, and now they're floundering.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
But I think Ben Simmons has been working on his jumper.
Stop it yeah with Chris uh, that's Chris Brinkley. Yeah, yeah,
he is back.
Speaker 7 (07:34):
Okay, yes, Mark, it's a tradition unlike any other Ben
Simmons summer workouts.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Yeah, a plus content.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
But also with the Nets, no one cares if they
win the NBA title. The parade in New York, so
the Knicks day Inland, okay, but.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
What's the Clippers parade gonna look like if the Clippers win.
Steven Palmer, well, yeah, that'll be entertaining. Kauhid probably miss
it due to a you know, parade parade. Man, I'm
gonna have to get the next one. I'm not ready
for this one. I'm gonna sit this one out. Yes, Paul,
(08:13):
it does feel.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
Like over the past generation or so, the Clippers have
developed a nice fan base. Clearly, you can't be the Lakers,
but I bet a lot of people started following them.
They could get tickets there when the Lakers were hard
to get a ticket, and they seem much more relevant
than the Brooklyn Nets on the East Coast.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I think, well, I think because there's expectations, then there's
there's more disappointment. There's no expectations with the Nets. So
you can't say, man, I'm disappointed Carolina Panthers. You can't
say you're disappointed. Your expectations can't be very high. So
I think that's where the Clippers you kind of lump
them in there a little bit because they've been bad,
(08:51):
they got good. We thought they were going to be
really good, and then they disappointed year in and year out.
You know, you have the hardened experiment and playing Paul
George and then Kawhi and you know, we we thought
they'd figured it out and then we realized that they hadn't.
All right, So that's a possible poll question for the
first tower. Okay, I think we run with that.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
I'd also be curious to know which, if we had
to only choose one, which one is in worse shape?
Speaker 3 (09:18):
The White Sox are the A's of those two?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Well, I think the A's going to Las Vegas. Eventually,
they're going to be in Sacramento. But if you eventually
get to Vegas, it's almost like you kind of wash
away everything, like you're a new team in a new
town and hopefully, you know, well, we're gonna find out
if they're going to embrace baseball there. But I think
that might be a better situation. I think financially, you're
(09:44):
tapping into a whole new market there. Everybody wants to
get to Vegas. The NBA wants to put a team
in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
There.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
We've got a football team in there. Now baseball is
going to be there. So I would say i'd probably
rather be Oakland the artist form known as the A's
going to a new town with a lot of potential.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Yeah, is the A's.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Leaving Oakland getting enough attention? I don't think they got
enough attention even when they were there. So the attention
they're getting is because they're leaving. But you're lump it
in with the Raiders, and you lumping in with Golden State,
and I mean that's devastating for what was once a
great sports city.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Yeah, I think.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Because they're not good. If if Oakland was good and
didn't draw people, I think that might be a little
bit more interesting. But just nobody has cared for a
few years now, and I think, yeah, all right, they're leaving,
see you later.
Speaker 8 (10:44):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I know there's diehards there that truly love watching baseball
and have a tradition with the Oakland A's going back
to the seventies. But I think because they're bad. I
just and they're doing it during football season two, where
you know, a lot of story you know, go to
die during football season. Yes, Pauline.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
One thing with the A's, there's a lot of teams
that have been worse on the field over the past decade.
Though the A's have made six playoffs in the past
fourteen years. There's a lot of franchise that would take that.
I'd like to throw the La Angels into this poll question.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Shoot.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Three years ago they were a five hundred team with
sho Heo Tani and Mike Trout. Now Mike Trout is career,
I don't know where it is, and shoe Atani is
the biggest player on earth for the crosstown team.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Yeah, I think they're talking about Mike Trout probably changing
positions because of all the injuries, and there's even talk
of could the Angels get out from underneath that contract
and what it would cost them. I mean, that's that's
a fall from grace. But we saw this coming. We
kept saying, if you're ardi moreno, either sell the team
or make sure you get something for show Heyo Tani
(11:50):
because he wasn't going to stay. Coming up a little
bit later on Tommy John. Tommy John, was it fifty
years ago to that he had Tommy John's surgery?
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Tod That is correct, exactly fifty years ago today.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
The injury happened in.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
July seventeenth, but the actual surgery happened today, fifty years ago.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Maybe we can get him to into the Hall of
Fame two hundred and eighty eight wins for him, But
I don't know when Tommy John goes in, he doesn't
go in and say, hey, I want to have the
Tommy John surgery. Give me the me What was the
Tommy John surgery called before Tommy John? So Tommy will
join us coming up next hour, and with he has
(12:31):
over five hundred decisions, wins and losses over five hundred.
I think he's two eighty eight and two thirty one
and he's not in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Contributions
to the game and two hundred and eighty eight wins
seems like that would be enough to get him in.
But we'll talk to Tommy coming up.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Yes, Todd, would you take pride.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
In the surgery being named after you or be like, ugh,
I wish it was called, you know, job surgery or
anything other than my name.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Because good things have come from it. Yeah, but it
was a it was considered a negative thing. If you
went in for Tommy John. That was like back in
the seventies, going in for acl surgery, you're pretty much done,
you know, Gail Sayirs goes in, he had had three
great years and then blew out his knee. I think
he had one good year after that got into the
(13:21):
Hall of Fame. I think because of how he got
injured and the fact that what he could have done,
what he could have been sort of like Terrell Davis
a little bit there. But yeah, that was that was
pretty much a death sentence for a picture if you
had to go in for that surgery. Now it's almost
like a badge of courage, like, hey, you're going in
(13:41):
for a TJ surgery?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Yeah good? Oh your third one?
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Oh okay, yeah see yeah, it's like preemptive now where
you just get it younger and younger to get it
out of the way. Tommy John surgery. But yeah, I
wouldn't imagine that you would be happy with your name
being attached to something that makes everyone immediately grimace, you know,
where you're like.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Oh yeah, Tommy John.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Uh, you don't really think of the pitcher first, you
think of the surgery, you know, I don't know, it
just seems tough, do you.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I wonder how he feels about a surgery named after him,
because it's made him relevant, but it kind of overshadowed
his career that and he pitched in big markets. He
pitched in LA, pitched in Chicago, and two hundred and
eighty eight wins. Now you can say, okay, he's a compiler,
but still Frank Gore is a compiler. But Frank Gore
(14:35):
has what thirteen thousand rushing yards gonna be a Hall
of Famer. And I still think Tommy at two hundred
and eighty eight wins should be.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
In the Hall of Fame. And his era is like
three point three to one or something like that. Yes time,
But now.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
From a positive standpoint, you can say it up. I
thought my career was over, but thanks to Tommy John surgery,
I live another day on the mountain, I'm not done.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
And you ever, he wasn't able to cash in. You know,
if it was happening now he probably do you know
one of those commercials where Hi, I'm Tommy John and
I can help revitalize your career if you have the
Tommy John surgery.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Yeah maybe not? All right?

We'll get to phone calls. Coming up mentioned the Padres
have won nine of their last ten. There within two
games of the NLS leading Dodgers. I mentioned the Tigers.
They had a zero point two percent chance to make
the playoffs on August eleventh, but a win last night
now their chances are just under eighty three percent. These
(16:26):
teams that struggle to get into the postseason, no matter what,
the sport always dangerous. Go down through history, you'll find teams.
Packers won a Super Bowl wild card, The Giants is
a wild card twice. We've seen the Braves that they
were a losing record at the All Star Break and
ended up winning the World Series a couple of years ago.
(16:48):
Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the program Play the Day
in the on deck circle. A couple of things here.
Mike Tomlin was talking about his quarterbacking situation, or sort
of talking about his quarterbacking situation.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I feel bad for the media in Pittsburgh trying to
get something out of Mike Tomlin because he almost seems
like he's scolding you when he gives you an answer.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
So here he is. Well, it starts with the question
what more do you need to see it from justin?
Why not name than the starting quarterback?
Speaker 9 (17:23):
Because there's no need I explain to you the variables
of the week. It has not changed. He's gonna walk
in this building with that mindset tomorrow, and so I
really there's no need to Sometimes in this business man,
there's a myriad of complex decisions that need to be made.
I've learned to make them when it's appropriate and it's
not necessary. As we sit here right now, when Russ
(17:45):
gets to an appropriate point of health and we have
a decision to make. I'll make it and i'll announce it,
and I'll be really transparent about it. But until then,
I don't care how many ways you guys asked me.
I got no intentions of making the decision that's unnecessary
at this juncture.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
It's the same thing.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
You feel like you're shrinking every word that he utters,
that he's kind of scolding you, like, how dare you.
I'll tell you what I want to tell you. I'll
be transparent. But when Russ comes back, and then Justin
comes in, and Bill Belichick said on a Pat McAfee show,
everyone's worried about Pittsburgh's quarterbacking situation. They might have the
(18:24):
best one in the league. Well, the best quarterbacking situation
in the league to me is Patrick Mahomes. How about
we take that off the board, and then I would say,
Josh Allen might be the second best quarterbacking situation.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Now, we are spending a lot of money, fifty million.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Dollars on your quarterback, and I guess what Belichick is saying,
you've got two quarterbacks combined or making less than five
million dollars a year. Well, there's a reason why they're
making less than five million dollars a year because they
were kicked to the curb by their former teams. Now,
do I think that Justin Fields has the talent to
be a starting quarterback? I do, I always have. Do
(19:01):
I think Pittsburgh has a great situation. I don't because
I don't know if they have a starting quarterback. I
think they have two who can play starting quarterback. And
I think there's a big difference in that. Look at
the offense. That offense is not good at all without
the defense. They're not undefeated, and let's say they were
zero to three. Does Bill Belichick feel like the Steelers
(19:24):
would have maybe the best situation quarterback wise? And the
answer is no, Yes, Paulan.
Speaker 6 (19:31):
The Steelers last year at this time had the twenty
eighth ranked offensive football. That was the Kenny Pickett era
and a little Mason Rudolph. This year they've upped just
to twenty four. Their defense is the number one ranked
defense in football.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
After three weeks, the Steelers look to win their first
four games for the second time under Mike Tomlin, fifth
time in franchise history. They are at Indianapolis coming up
this weekend, and the defense has been wonderful because they've
allowed ten or less points in each of those wins,
and it hasn't happened that often here in recent memory.
(20:05):
So they're undefeated on the road. But I don't think
this is a great quarterbacking situation, at least right now,
because I don't know what Russ is going to be
like when he is out there, and Justin Fields is
healthy and they're still not scoring points. Minnesota will be
at green Bay. This is awesome. Minnesota undefeated at green Bay.
Last time the Vikings started out four to oh twenty sixteen.
(20:31):
This would be the fifth time since two thousand and
they lead the NFL with sixteen sacks so far. I'm
assuming Jordan Love is going to be ready to play.
I haven't seen any preliminary reports, but Malik Willis has
done an unbelievable job filling in the other undefeated teams.
So Kansas City will be at the Chargers, and we
(20:51):
don't know the available ability of Justin Herbert got a
couple of injuries, as is per usual with the Chargers.
Chargers two and one. Chiefs are three to zero. Buffalo
at Baltimore. So Baltimore goes to Dallas and wins Now
comes home and here's Buffalo undefeated going to Baltimore. Weren't
(21:12):
they in the same draft. Josh was a seventh overall pick.
Lamar the thirty second overall pick. Was that the twenty
eighteen draft. And I mean, what's interesting is you got
Josh Allen second in NFL history among quarterbacks with fifty
five rushing touchdowns fifty five. Now you would think Lamar
(21:34):
Jackson would be the guy who'd had that number, Cam
Newton seventy five. But that draft where Josh went, and
then Lamar Jackson goes thirty second. Seattle's undefeated going to Detroit.
That is spicy Seattle. Last time they started out four
to oh was twenty thirteen. And Mike McDonald quietly has
(21:54):
done a nice job with the Seattle team. They have
some weapons. Gino can be a hit or miss. They
can run the football. So Seattle in Detroit and then
Dallas coming up on Thursday night against the Giants. Both
teams are one and two. This is gonna be far
more interesting. Now if the Cowboys lose to the Giants
(22:17):
dot dot dot or the Giants if they lost to
the Cowboys, I don't think would be as big of
a shocker, but if they beat Dallas. Now, all of
a sudden, Dallas is one in three, and I think
Jerry Jones, didn't Jerry come out and say, I know
a lot of people think I might be the problem, Like, okay,
this is the first step here, Jerry.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
It's a little late. Make amends people think that I
could be the problem.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Yeah, there's a few that think that, Jerry. But he
came around to acknowledging that. But some you know, those
are some of the big games coming up this weekend,
Baker Mayfield. Yes, off the topic, you were just hitting there. Okay,
are the best teams in the NFL right now? Three
and oh or two in one?
Speaker 4 (23:05):
If you start looking, you have Bills, Chiefs, Seahawks, Vikings.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Steelers are all three and oh yeah, right yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Then if you look at the teams that are two
and one, it's Jets, Chargers, Texans, Commanders, Eagles, Lions, Packers, Saints, Bucks.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
That's a good group of teams. It's a lot of teams,
so I get a lot to choose from there.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
It feels weird to say, though, that the best teams
in the league have already lost a game, while there's
teams that are undefeated, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Yeah, you could always look at Vegas and how they
view things. They don't really change their Super Bowl picks
in the first three weeks. Vegas odds, like the Steelers
don't have better Super Bowl odds right now than the Ravens.
For the Houston Texans still have great superol odds, but
it really doesn't matter. Like the Eagles have better Super
Bowl odds than the Commanders, but they have the same record.
It doesn't really fluctuate the Vikings. The Detroit Lions right
(24:02):
now had better Super Bowl odds than the Vikings, and
their records are worse.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
And once again, they don't place their speculation or bets
whatever on emotion. It's just they look at it and go,
this is how good we think this team is going
to be. They're playing the long game. We react right
away after a team wins or loses. We're like, I'm
all in or I'm all out with these teams. Now,
the Buccaneers feel good story, Baker Mayfield, he was playing great.
(24:31):
All of a sudden, they're going to be at home
and then they get surprised. They get surprised by the
Denver Broncos. Now, prior to that game last week, Baker
Mayfield talked about Tom Brady in the atmosphere that was
around the Buccaneers when Brady was there.
Speaker 8 (24:49):
Playing wise, Tom was different. He had everybody dialed in
high strong environments. So I think everybody's pretty stressed out.
So for me, and everybody was expecting the Bucks to
not be good last year, so they wanted me to
come in and be myself, you know, bring the joy
back to football a little bit for guys that weren't
having as much fun, and just continue to raise the
(25:09):
competition level. So they just asked me to be myself,
and like as a as a player, you really can't
ask for much more than that. You hear some of
the stories about if he didn't like a certain play
call and he didn't like it throughout the week and
they still call it in the game. There might have
been a throwaway on purpose, they're throwing at the running
back or receiver's feet.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
There's just there's a lot of mind games going on
from a point that it wasn't the right call. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Yeah, So that's a recent appearance on Kasa de Club podcast,
but that was prior to the lass to the Broncos
in Tampa.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Yes, Ston Baker.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Wasn't there when Tom was there? Right, No, they never
liked Cross. No, so he's just like hearing that stuff.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
He's yes, sources close to him or saying that we
were on edge and we didn't have fun. You know
what is fun when you win a Super Bowl? Like
all always take that fun over everything. Winning is fun.
Do I think Tom Brady had people on edge? Absolutely? Absolutely?
Did he play mind games?
Speaker 3 (26:12):
I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Yeah, if somebody has, you know, a story to tell me,
then great, maybe he did. He's one of the ultimate competitors.
I'll take that. I mean, there are a lot of players,
a lot of athletes who are lethargic when it comes
to this, like maybe the money I'm getting, Like Brady
was obsessed with showing the Patriots they made a mistake,
(26:34):
showing people that he didn't need Bill Belichick, and that's
why he was probably even hyper competitive there. I have
no problem with that. I want an alpha dog. I
want somebody who all, right, you may not like it.
The Packers didn't like Vince Lombardi. They're all turned out
to be champions, Hall of famers, successful business people because
(26:56):
they listened to Vince Lombardi.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
You don't have to like, you just have to respect.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Yes, he Baker is now bringing the fun back to
football on his fourth teams, spreading the fun. I just
like to go team to team and you know, really
revived the locker room, get a lot of fun, and
then get out of there, jump to the next one
that just needs a revival there in the locker room.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Just a lot a little more fun then, you know,
compared to what it used to be.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
You know, when the priest walks up the eye with
the holy water and you know he's splashing you, That's
kind of what Baker's doing. He's just splashing fun holy
water on there, to.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Bring the fun back. That's all, you know, guys, let's
loosten up a little bit. Okay, it's football, it's fun.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
Yes, that's the first time I heard that cut in context.
And I don't think Baker's, may you know, ripping Tom Brady.
I think he's just being honest about the culture he
heard about before he got there.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
To me, if you can be honest, but you can
still be ripping. Yeah, yes, he's being honest. But it
certainly felt like a shot that Tom Brady created this
environment here I'll bet Brady.
Speaker 6 (27:59):
Loves it when he hears that, like I had everybody
on edge, I had everybody nervous, mission accomplished, you know not.
He probably won't even look at it as a rip.
I don't think he would.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Yeah, maybe I don't know if he is ripping Tom
Brady or not. But when he says I heard Tom
used to throw the ball away on purpose when he
didn't like a play, call, is sure feels rippy. Sure
feels like you know, he was kind of a bit
a baby at Petty and would pout and throw the
ball away on plays even if it was a good play,
just because he didn't like to play.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
That's how I this feels like, Hey, whoever is hosting
Cosa de Club, Baker's comfortable there in just talking and
sometimes you forget that, Hey I'm doing I'm on a
podcast with somebody.
Speaker 10 (28:44):
I know.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
You don't realize that it's going to go viral, you know, like, oh,
it's a local podcast here, Oh I do a local
radio show, and then all of a sudden it's on
national TV or national radio. And now all of a
sudden it's going to be a Baker.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Is this a on atmosphere?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
And was it a fun atmosphere last week when you
guys lost to the Broncos. Yes, Bunny, nothing good happens
at the club. You stay out of the club club, Doug,
club after the club. Yeah, at the club club. When's
the last time anybody was at a club after midnight.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
Nightclub where it's like the focus is dancing.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Well, no, it's bottle service, That's what the focus is.
Has anybody been.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
I don't know that I've ever been to a place
like and gotten bottle service. I don't even know anything
even like that.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
It happened one time, probably in the last fifteen years,
and I was shocked when they brought over just a
bottle of vodka and they said, you know, that'll be
five hundred dollars, and I went, wait, what do I
get with that? Then they laughed and I went, wait,
I'm not laughing like I that's five hundred dollars for
(30:00):
bottle service, and I can I get a beer now?
I was afraid how much a beer was gonna cost. Well,
that'd be two fifty.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
We worked the NFL draft a couple times back at ESPN,
and we went out with the draft experts that we
brought in like Simon Rice and to Keo Spikes and
different players like this. And there was one of those
bottle service setups and I saw the bill and Simeon
Rice is sitting there, you know, very famous, well paid
football player. It was like twenty three hundred dollars for
the group. I'm like, I got thirty seven bucks on
(30:30):
me were split in the six ways.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Let me do the math. Yeah, bottle service at the club. Yes,
Marvin does a day party count I went to.
Speaker 7 (30:41):
I worked the All Star Game in two thousand and
was sixteen or seventeen, and I was out with my man,
George Saddano from ESPN, and it was maybe one of
the five best parties ever been to in my life.
Bottle service. All that sun was out, Dolphins were there,
heat players were there, some women's It was unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Careful, Oh I just said. I just said women's. Oh
I didn't.
Speaker 7 (31:05):
I didn't partake.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Okay, was there bottles? Did you have to pay for
bottle service? I did not?
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Okay, Well, yeah, it could be far more enjoyable until
you sit down in your booth and then they say,
you know, that'd be five hundred dollars not as much
fun with the Women's and Fellows celebrities there. You got
that five hundred and then if somebody wants to order
another bottle, and then you're like, I think it's signed
(31:31):
for me to leave, I'm gonna I don't have you know,
my per diem is not going to cover this right
for the mother Show. Yes, when when we worked at
ESPN and we'd be on the road and you had
to have a receipt for everything, and I remember you're
trying to, you know, validate something that could have been
(31:53):
you know, fifty dollars, and or if you bought somebody dinner,
they wanted the names of everybody that you bought dinner for, Yes,
and then they wanted to know if there were contact
numbers that they were going to see if you bought
somebody dinner. I'm like, damn, we are scraping by at
the mother Ship.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
Yeah, it's definitely possible that I've filled out expense reports
where there were say a dozen people at dinner and
maybe there was four of us.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Statun limitations, or you make up fictitious names where you
know it's Jimmy Lippers went sat down with us one
time at ESPN.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
We used to do that when they had the ESPN
Zone in Times Square and I used to have to
go down there on Fridays with you, I think, and
would do the show and I would like expense everybody's lunch.
But a few times people would come in and buy
beers for themselves and they would be like, you know,
because it was you know, one to four in the

The way tire buying should be. All right, I'm playing
golf yesterday, playing golf at a place called Belgrade Lake's
Beautiful Place. Walk into the pro shop. Woman behind the
(34:42):
counter helping me. Wanted to get this hoodie sweatshirt that
I have on today. She says, Uh, I know you,
I said, you do huh? She goes yes. I said,
I don't think you do.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
She goes, h yes, I do know you. I said, okay,
who am I? She goes you are? Rick Riley and
I said no, no, I'm not, and she goes, yes
you are. I go, no, I'm not. And then she goes,
who are you? I said, Dan Patrick, and she goes,
can I get a picture? I said sure? And then
(35:19):
well you should refuse.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I was gonna say, but you didn't know who I was.
You thought I was Rick Riley and then you wanted
a picture. But she said, don't make fun of me
on your show. So I'm from this point there is
my way of getting back at her for calling me
Rick Ryley. I mean Rick Riley wonderful sports writer, but
not as good looking as me. And so I took
(35:43):
it personally, and it was a shot, so shot back
at her. Yes, Paul, we all.
Speaker 6 (35:49):
Know Rick Riley.
Speaker 10 (35:50):
Here.
Speaker 6 (35:50):
You and Rick Riley don't look much the same at all.
I mean you have different hair, different faces.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Well after he had his cosmetic surgery, we don't look
you said.
Speaker 9 (35:58):
It, not me.
Speaker 6 (36:00):
He does not wear glasses. You generally wear glasses.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Yes, yeah, I've been getting a lot of Steve Martin,
a lot of Steve Martin and I and look, I
appreciate that. I think he's, you know, one of the
more handsome men that I've ever seen and but it's,
you know, only murders in the building and that's why.
So I'm getting I'm getting a lot more of those.
(36:24):
I had a woman who was serving me a beer
two nights ago, and she said, tell me you have
an interesting first name, and I said Dan, and she
gave me a stink eye, scrunchy face. She she said, oh,
my god, so disappointing. And I go, yeah, I said,
you know what, and I said, well, what would have
been an interesting name? She goes, Miles. I said, all right,
(36:47):
call me Miles the rest of the evening. But she actually,
right in front of me scrunched her face up when
I told her my name was Dan, and she goes,
that's disappointing. I was hoping you had an interesting name.
Speaker 6 (36:59):
Yes, Paul, probably you get the most is sportscaster Jim Lampley. Correct,
I used to yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
And that was a compliment because Jim Lampley was easy
on the eyes. Yes, he had great error, but yeah,
Rick Riley, Steve Martin. When I was at a Jets
game and there was somebody in the front row of
a Jets fan and he is yelling at me, I'm
on the sidelines, covering it. And this is when I
worked at CNN so back in the eighties, and this
(37:27):
guy's yelling at me, screaming at me, and my producer said,
he's talking to you. Well, the guy is yelling out,
bleep you Lampley, bleep, screaming, and so I thought, okay,
he thinks I'm Jim Lampley. So I just turned around
and I gave him the finger and then turned back around.
So that guy probably to this day thinks that Jim
(37:50):
Lampley flipped him on. Thank you Tom. Early poll results
seatan early poll results.
Speaker 4 (37:57):
By the way, I was gonna say, man, that thinks
should be hoping that you reach for your wife for
a tip.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
After not having such an interesting name. Anyway, Yeah, franchise
in the worst shape right now.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
Your options are Carolina Panthers, Chicago White Sox, Oakland A's
or other.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
You want to guess. Oakland News.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
They're in second place right now, the Chicago White Sox
running away with it at forty five percent of the vote,
Carolina Panthers only getting sixteen All right, Panthers.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Yeah, maybe there's some people who believe in the Carolina Panthers.
Maybe there's a vision there Tom in North Carolina? Hi Tom,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 1 (38:37):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (38:37):
DP, Hey Tom?
Speaker 10 (38:41):
So I called the last time you were in Maine
and made a part of the face bet with Fritzy
that the Panthers and the Giants would win more games
this year. I would like to parlay that bet and
say that the Panthers will actually win enough games to
actually miss.
Speaker 7 (38:57):
Out on the number one and number two pick, so.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
The Panthers won't have the worst or second worst record
in the NFL. Yes, sir, Okay, does anybody want a
piece of Tom in North Carolina? That uh see Carolina
with the red rifle? I feel I feel a little
better about him. They might they might sneak in accidentally.
Uh win win a few games, Tom, So nobody's gonna
(39:24):
take you up on that. Now, do you have a
bet with Fritzie that the Panthers win more games than
the Broncos?
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (39:31):
Actually the Panthers and the Giants.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Oh okay, so you got you already had that bet? Okay,
all right, well, thank you Tom, and congratulations on that win.
So he's saying the Giants and the Panthers will be
better than Todd's Broncos.
Speaker 5 (39:45):
That is not gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
Okay, thank you, Tom is not gonna happen. Yeah, yeah,
it was like a Judge Jude promo or something not
gonna happen. What you're gonna do when bo Nicks runs
wild all over you? Are you now back to we?
