Speaker 2 (00:28):
There was some tension last night Dodgers Padres, like too
much tension and that was getting out of hand, Like
this is where you worry about before, during, and after
a game just because this rivalry and it was tense
last night. Padres get a split, six home runs and

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
If you're watching on Peacock, I don't know the voice
is kind of hanging on today, Todd. I know that
you had thoughts and prayers for me, and uh, I
think you know I'm gonna need those. I kind of
like it to me more kind of No, that's kind
of weird. It worked up.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I'm just telling you I feel about it.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Yeah, So, just trying to hold on here a little
under the weather. But guess who was back? Seaton O'Connor.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Yes, yes, thanks guys. Great to be here.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Oh yeah, first person I saw when I came in.
I'm like, there's seating. I'm like, yes, yes, maybe some
stability to the back row because Fridays Friday didn't go well.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
In fact, Seaton was out most of last week and
we went off the rails. But now we're back. We're
mature in the back crow and full speed ahead.
Speaker 7 (02:02):
In fact.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
See, and I'm gonna start with you best and worst
of the weekend. Give me your best and worst.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
My worst of the weekend is the Seahawks losing to
the Giants. Mentioned that earlier before. Okay, my other worster
ish is that I just saw a comparison saying the
Sam Darnold's revival is threatening to go the way of
Josh Dobbs, and I felt like that was just very whoa.
(02:29):
I felt like that was just very cruel. There's no
reason for that kind of negativity.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
On a month.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Although the Josh Dobbs thing got out of hand last year,
it was like anybody could have had him, and then
all of a sudden it went away.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
But at the same time, though, don't you hear that?
And you're like, yeah, I knew I fell for that
once before.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Damn it.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
There was like a boy band eruption there with him, like, man,
do you you know what? Until you said it, I
had forgotten about it, and then I remember it was
like anybody could have had him.
Speaker 8 (02:59):
It was just like last year, Yes, Paul, Yeah, We're
in this weird juncture of the NFL season where Week
one through five things happened that in week twelve, we're like,
did that happen this season? Was Joshobs a thing? Like
I have no idea if Sam Donald six weeks from
now will be an MVP candidate or what Okay, let's
ask that question, Oh MBB Candida.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Or what Sam Donald MVP candidate in six weeks Sam
Donald MVB candidate or dot dot Dodd Todd.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
I'm gonna say MVP candidate. They'll keep it rolling enough
for him to be in the.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
Conversation positivity by you on a Monday Seaton, Sam Donald
MVP or I'm going dot dot dom Okay, Marvin, No,
just a pro bowler.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Well, you did say pro Bowl starter at the beginning
of the year, didn't you.
Speaker 7 (03:49):
That's right, like David Garrard, Steve Berlin.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
All right, Trent Dilfer, that'd be a great call. Oh,
Trent Dilford, University UAB, Alabama, Birmingham. It's not going well.
I think they just got blown out again. Yeah, it's
not going well. Uh, Paully, Sam Donald MVP or dot
dot six weeks, six weeks.
Speaker 8 (04:12):
Still in the MVP picture. They're at the Lions, but
then they have Rams, Colts, Jaguars, Titans, winnable, very winnable stretch.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Okay, okay, is he an MVP candidate right now? I
guess is my question? Is Sam Darnald there for MVP?
Speaker 7 (04:30):
Unanimous? Yes?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
No, No, he's not unanimous.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
No he's not.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Who who is the MVP right now? Isn't that weird? I? Okay,
here's one. Jaden Daniels.
Speaker 8 (04:50):
Jaden right, now I have current odds as of this morning.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Now, Jaden Daniels is more of an MVP candidate than
Sam Darnald in my opinion. Yeah, well, I'm just saying,
in my opinion, yes, in my opinion, my humble opinion.
Speaker 8 (05:03):
You don't want to distance yourself from that six weeks.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
No, No, okay, who's more of an According.
Speaker 8 (05:10):
To Vegas Mahomes, they always go with this triumvirt By
the way, Mahomes lamar Josh Allen top three.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Yeah, that's always that's not fun plug and play.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Yeah, c J.
Speaker 8 (05:20):
Stroud, Jade and Daniels, Sam Darnold are tier two.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
So if you're looking at Tier one, are you removing
Josh Allen?
Speaker 8 (05:29):
He stays in until they're for the entire season. That's
how it works.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
But if it didn't work that way and we were
just you know, having fun for the next three minutes
and wanted to talk about it, who are you removing
from that group? Is it Josh Allen? And that's who
you're putting You're putting Jaden Daniels in. If we're only
allowed three quarterbacks in Tier one, yes.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Nine for thirty Yeah, I know, I mean Jayden Daniels
is doing things that haven't been done by a rookie
quarterback before they run the ball, they're winning. You know,
completion percentage wasn't great this past weekend, but he's been
doing some pretty pretty great things. So yeah, I'd put
(06:14):
him in there. It feels like Josh Allen and the
Bills became underdogs this year. You know, it's like, yeah,
well they lost Stefan Diggs, they're an underdog. They're still
the class of that division. Marvin Best and Worst of
the weekend.
Speaker 9 (06:29):
Best of the weekend, Dj Moore from the Bears five receptions,
one hundred and five yards, two touchdowns against.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
His former team, the Panthers. And then worst of the
weekend the.
Speaker 9 (06:39):
New York market. Man, they're depressed. Rutgers. They took their
first loss of the seasons to Nebraska. Now they are
I think three or one or four to one this season.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Well, wait a minute, the Giants won, but that's split.
The Yankees won. What are you talking about? Oh, you're
just talking about the New York market with college football.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
Yes, Oh, when you think about when you think about
the New York.
Speaker 9 (07:04):
Market, you think Rutgers, Nicks, Yankees, Mets, Jets, Rutgers you
ever driven from Piscataway to Manhattan?
Speaker 7 (07:13):
No, me, neither, right exactly, It's not like it's Newark
or East Ruththerford.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Yeah, Scataway. Hey, hey, what do you want to do tonight?
Speaker 5 (07:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Why don't we just slip into Manhattan get some dinner.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Two hours?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Just the fact that they tried to sell that that, Hey,
big ten, you want to expand into the New York market,
You're barely expanding into the Jersey market, Central Jersey. You're
gonna tell me about Manhattan Rutgers football. We own Manhattan, Yes, Tom.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
I think with a telescope from New Brunswick you can
see the stature.
Speaker 8 (07:48):
Libby Okay, best and worst of the weekend, Paul, I'm
gonna get it to Rhys Davis, the host of College
Game Day. They he hosts College Game Day out in
cow So his wake up for the show was one
am local time. He does College Game Day. He's got
all the stuff he's got to do. Afterwards, then the host,
the play by play person for cal Miami, had a
(08:09):
family emergency and had to leave and so on short notice,
with very little prep, Rhys Davis hosted with a sore
throat by the way, cal versus Miami and brock Oswiler
did a very good job helping him out. I don't
know if this is worst or best of the weekend.
I love the coverage or lack of coverage of bow
Knicks and his coach, Sean Payton getting into a little
(08:30):
bit of a tiff on the sidelines, because if you win,
like the Broncos did, it shows fire and spirit. If
you lose, you're disgruntled and you got issues with your quarterback.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yeah, because if this was Sean Payton and Russell Wilson,
oh they're not long for each other, there's trouble there.
But Bownicks and Sean Payton were kind of back and forth.
They won more importantly, you see.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
That does sort of emphasize why a coach like Sean
Payton would be like, you know, why don't we get
rid of the veteran guy and just bringing somebody, even
when it's Russell Wilson who had it's because of his
history and track record. They're like, this is a guy
who's done some things, and I don't really want any feedback.
What I want is a quarterback who go in there
(09:13):
and do what I'm telling you to do and then
we're gonna win. Okay, I don't really want your feedback
on I don't know, maybe we should.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Have, you know, well, but he took it from a rookie.
That's what was surprising.
Speaker 8 (09:25):
Yeah, PAULI bonus coverage in the look good, play good category.
Remember the Atlanta Falcons throwback uniforms they win last week.
The Denver Broncos won mostly because of their uniforms. They
were wow almost ninety.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Wow of the reasons, Todd, do you have best and
worst of the WEEKND?
Speaker 4 (09:40):
I do best.
Speaker 10 (09:41):
Down twenty five in the middle of the third, Miami
quarterback cam Ward leads his team back for a thirty
nine thirty eight winn A col thirty five or fifty
three for four hundred and thirty seven yards. Two passing
tds even rushed for another. Still very much in the
Heisman conversation.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Worst.
Speaker 10 (09:53):
The previously undefeated ninth rank Missouri Tigers lay a big
egg at College Station. They were down thirty four to
nothing midway through the third, lost forty one to ten
to Texas A and.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
M Okay, but did they kick a field goal at
the very end for the over I think check that.
I thought Missouri kicked a field goal at the very
end they were getting blown out and the field goal
(10:22):
was for the cover.
Speaker 8 (10:24):
Yes, Paul, that's correct. Many betters were either upset or
joyous as they kicked a meaningless field goal to cash
in on the over.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
So they're getting blown out and at the very end,
instead of going for a touchdown, they kick a field
Doesn't that draw some suspicion?
Speaker 8 (10:45):
But you can't ask the coach about that?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Why not go for a touchdown? Why why are you
kicking a field goal?
Speaker 8 (10:51):
You could ask it in that fashion I would. You
can't say, coach, what did you do? You have any
action yet to tell your guy.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Coach you had the over?
Speaker 9 (10:59):
Yes, Marvin, No, I was just saying by just that much,
just a little bit of suspicion right there, just a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
How can you explain that? You know what, we wanted
to give our field goal kicker an opportunity in a
hostile environment to kick an important field goal, Like what
do you how do.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
You sell that?
Speaker 7 (11:21):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Eddie and delmar Hi Eddie.
Speaker 11 (11:28):
Good morning everybody, Paulie the captain, Marvin the DJA seating
the boy band with the good looks and Todd, the
diminisher of humor. My best of the weekend is the
Padres launching projectiles back into the stands. First one was
here's your ballback, loser. Here's another ball, and then here's another,
(11:51):
here's another. All right, six of them?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
There you go.
Speaker 11 (11:54):
We good? And then I like how I thought Jack
Felaharty's sitting silent on the bed. None of his teammates
wanted to say.
Speaker 12 (12:02):
Hi to him.
Speaker 11 (12:03):
I wonder why that Tigers went on such a run
right after they jettisoned his ass.
Speaker 13 (12:08):
But uh, Seaton, I.
Speaker 11 (12:10):
Celebrated one week of sobriety yesterday, stay strong, and you
guys slept on a top gun or sorry, I just
blew it. You guys slept on top crews movies that
he didn't run in both top guns. And it's a
little late, but it's a harken back to the only
(12:30):
funny moment Todd Fritz has ever had on the show.
Wow and Dan's love of Irish goodbyes. A name for
the boat, Aosta premature.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Okay, thank you, Eddie. Eddie got a lot in there.
Del Mar. Everybody go visit Eddie and Delmar great place
to go to.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Del Mar Aosta premature is Tot's greatest line of all time.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
It was that was the Rick Patino having an affair,
having an affair at this Italian restaurant in Lexington.
Speaker 8 (13:00):
The godfather of mock headlines.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
It is.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
As a long time ago.
Speaker 14 (13:10):
That was.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Twelve years ago.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Yeah, Paul, that's the only funny moment I beg to differ.
There has to be at least one other one, Paul
and Colorado. Hey Paul, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 15 (13:24):
When us dus my friends, me, Shermanos, Jilly Verde. I've
got two best of the weekends and two worst of
the weekends. And by the way, five foot nine and
three quarter one eighty unusual grandfast strength. Okay, Broncos of course,
(13:45):
what a great old fashioned butt kicking. Loved it, loved it,
loved it, loved it. We go nowhere without beating the raiders.
So we're going somewhere this year. And the second, of course,
is brewing up a big lot of green chili from
Plublos new crop this year. Pueblo chili is the best
(14:07):
mirousol points to the sun when it grows. And by
two worst, of course, I love the pinners. Love what
they're doing with the new uniforms.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
They gotta go.
Speaker 15 (14:19):
Let's just stick with what we got. Wasn't that the
most people uniform you saw yesterday?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Wait? Who's uniforms?
Speaker 15 (14:26):
The Broncos? Of course?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Oh yeah, I thought they were nice. I liked them,
We all.
Speaker 15 (14:32):
Loved them, loved them, and of course they wong with them.
And then my second worst, of course, is Monday. Love
you guys, take care of.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Alrighty, Paul, thank you? That's Paul and Colorado, Kyle and Charleston. Hi, Kyle, Dan,
how's it going?
Speaker 15 (14:52):
Five?
Speaker 16 (14:56):
Not even going to do bast of the week? After
the Jets performance yesterday. I know the play calling has
been absolutely terrible, but Rogers, honestly is our biggest issue.
There are guys running open downfield all the time, and
he's just too afraid to hit him. I don't even
know where we go from here.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
That's it, yep, Okay, thank you, Kyle, that's it. Just
wanted to call up and say the play calling is bad.
They got to get Davante Adams. And I don't know
if Davante Adams is Davante Adams, but they gotta get
They got to get something.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
They just don't.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
They're not dangerous. I don't know, and they could easily
have two more wins.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
Yeah, Marvin, doesn't Devanta have a hamstring injury right now?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Well, I have a hamstring injury until I get traded.
Then all of a sudden, you'll probably be medically cleared. Man,
I'm just guessing here, because that hamstring injury. How do
we measure that concussion protocol? You can you know, be
cleared like that hamstring?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
How is it?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (16:10):
Man?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Probably gonna feel better on the East Coast, like you
know that, like meadow Lands. Probably feel a little better
there in that environment.
Speaker 8 (16:20):
Yes, more real injury, DeVante Adams hamstring, Josh Allen's ankle.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
I mean, I give credit to Josh that he tried
to sell his ankle was hurting, his head had to
be really hurting, but he tried to sell them. All Right,
we'll take a break. We'll talk to the new Reds manager,
Terry Frankcona. They like to call him Tito. He'll join us.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
I saw the story that Terry Francona was going to
become the Reds manager, and I'm thinking, wait a minute,
I thought he retired. He stepped away from the Guardians.
Terry Francona joining us on the program. What happened to retirement?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Hello? Dan?
Speaker 6 (17:19):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
I stepped away a year ago because I just didn't
think my health was allowing me to do the job appropriately.
Wasn't for any other reason. I loved being in Cleveland.
The people were fantastic, the people I worked for, but
I felt like I was kind of short changing some people.
And I stepped away for a year and kind of
(17:42):
took care of myself and had a semi normal life
and did not expect to be interviewing for jobs. But
when the Reds reached out and we talked, it just
felt right. And that was how it felt the first
day in Cleveland, and that's how it felt here. Felt right.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
What was it like to wear normal clothes for an
entire year?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Well, if you know me at all, that means I
have three pair of jeans and like you know, four
golf shirts, and but one of my favorite things in
the whole world is get into the ballpark, you know,
getting in your slide and shorts and your and your
shower shoes and figuring out how you're going to beat
somebody's ass that night. That's one of my favorite things.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
But okay, sometimes when you step away. You see coaches
do this in the NFL all the time, Well they'll
step away, and what kind of clarity did you get
and how does that help you health wise of going
right back into what you were trying to get away from.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
That's that's actually an honest and fair question.
Speaker 15 (18:47):
One.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
I don't think I'm ever going to have perspective. I don't.
I think at this age wins and losses. The losses
kill me, and that's I don't think that's ever going
to change. I really have tried to take care of
myself and get myself in a position where I can
do the job appropriately. Now there's gonna be some challenges,
(19:09):
I know, you know, we're gonna get into the season
and late nights and stuff, and I'm gonna have to
be aware of that. That's the best I can do.
I do think I'm in a way better position health
wise where I can actually go do this job.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Who did you consult.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
I didn't talk well. I talked to my three girls
and one of my best friends, but nobody. I didn't
want anybody to know. And I told the Reds guys
that too. I said, hey, man, I need to keep this.
And so they came out to my house and visited
with me in Tucson and we talked for about five
hours and right away we hit it off pretty well
(19:49):
and it was a comfortable conversation. Into my palm started
getting a little sweaty, and I'm like, okay, you know
this is this is getting real.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
What'd the guardians say?
Speaker 3 (20:01):
You know what, There's not a person there that you
could you could find that I would say something negative about.
They're the nicest people I've ever worked for. Like I said,
when I stepped down, it wasn't because I was disappointed
in people. I just didn't think I was doing the
job appropriately and it was getting harder for me, and
(20:22):
I was becoming short on patience just because you know,
when you don't feel good, and that's not healthy for
a manager.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
How often do you think about the Red Sox World
Series Champs?
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Not very often. I mean I get people will remind
me of it when I'm out in public or something.
But I'm actually afraid. You know, they did that thirty
for thirty thing, and I'm actually afraid to watch it
because I keep I'm afraid we might lose because there
seemed like there's so many things that could have gone
wrong and we would have lost. But I'm you know,
I enjoyed it, like it was probably the four funnest
(20:57):
baseball days of my life. But I I'm pretty good
about moving on and staying in the moment.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
But do you think how many of your players are
going to know that you were the manager of the
Red Sox and one World Series titles?
Speaker 3 (21:10):
You know what, Dan, I'm not sure I care about that. Okay,
they don't need to know that. What they need to
know is that I have their best interest at heart,
and I want to make the Reds be the best
team we can be. I think in this game, it's
not what you did. You got to keep earning your
stripes every day like I hate the world. Well, this
(21:31):
guy arrived, Man, we're all still arriving. And the day
you think you've arrived, you're missing the boat.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Talking to Terry Francona, the new manager of the Cincinnati Reds,
We've seen this with smaller market teams management ownership, where
they say, hey, we're a smaller market, we can't spend money,
we can't compete. But you are seeing some of these
other markets that maybe didn't spend a lot of money
that are competing in the postseason. That's no longer an excuse.
(21:59):
Do you think for smaller mid market teams?
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Well, you know what, it'll never be an excuse ever.
You know, I think, being just completely honest, the it's
not altogether fair the way the system is set up.
But I'm I'll never You'll never hear me use that
as an excuse. Man. I was in Boston where we
were kind of one of the haves, you know that.
(22:23):
I went to Cleveland and it was a little different,
But I was very careful never to say, because my
job is to get the most out of whoever we have,
and that's what I get a big kick out of.
I don't need to be the GM or the president.
I mean, shoot, man, I went to the University of
Arizona and I'm a second semester freshman. I don't need
(22:45):
to be dabbling in that kind of stuff. I just
want to do baseball.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Wait, you didn't make it through your second semester at Arizona.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Well, I mean I no, I mean I was there,
but that's what that's what my thing says. On a second,
I had some difficult All.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
These take me back to when we were in Arizona.
When you're managing Michael Jordan, when you first get who
how does that work out that all of a sudden
Jordan's going to be on your team and you're managing him.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Well, it happened so in Sarasota when I was with
the White Sox as a double A manager. We used
to meet at seven am in the morning every morning
in this trailer and you to go over the day
and I was kind of like half asleep, and all
of a sudden I heard Michael will be assigned to
the Birmingham work group. And my life changed like that.
(23:37):
I mean, I went from just being happy that our
games were on radio to dealing with people like you know,
Ted Copple and and so. And I didn't know it
at the time, but it was probably the greatest learning
experience I'd ever been put in. And then when he
was going to play in the Fall leg I had
already been in the Fall League so they wanted to
kind of keep it, but he said, he goes. I
(23:59):
want him because I think he knew I knew the
lay of the land, and I could I learned how
to navigate his life. And he was great, man. I mean,
I'm telling you. The first thing I told him, I said, Michael,
you gotta respect the game of baseball. And I kind
of explained to him, like how much money these kids
(24:21):
weren't making. And you'd have a hard time getting me
to say something negative about him. He was awesome.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
But if you had had him, you know, so much
of baseball is like hockey, like you've done it. It's
it's repetitive, it's year after year after year. You can
be the greatest athlete, but to try to jump in
you unless you're Bo Jackson, But you know, it's really
really rare. What would you have had Michael Wart?
Speaker 16 (24:47):
Like?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Could you have made him a legitimate major leaguer? A starter?
Speaker 3 (24:52):
When I get asked that, I think the way I've
answered it always is, because I believe it is, you
need to get a thousand that bats under your before
you can even make a determination. He had about four
or five hundred. I also found out when you tell
him no, He's going to find a way to make
the answer be yes. And I've found out. And I
(25:15):
mean that's not just baseball, that's ping pong, tennis, golf.
I don't care what yatzi you name it. Man, he's
he's gonna try to beat you. He's gonna find a way.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
You get to see more of Otani now that you're
in the National League. That's good news for you.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Yeah, that's wonderful. Thanks for that. Just made my day
a little worse.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
What do you does anybody come to mind? Let's just
say hitting with Otani, let's leave out pitching. But who
comes to mind?
Speaker 3 (25:44):
That's the one thing about Otani that I don't think.
He's generational, Like his talent is generational. I don't know
that you can put a name with him. It's probably
disrespectful to him. I mean, this kid is and from
all I've heard, he's a one orful kid. And he
loves baseball, which is really good for the game, not
necessarily so good for when you're playing them.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Would you know the pitching parts the hard part. We've
seen what he can do when he's not pitching. You know,
he's stealing nearly sixty bases and he's hitting fifty home
runs value wise, would you capitalize more on him the
hitter all around player as or would you try to
split it like they've done before with him?
Speaker 3 (26:28):
You know what, Dan, I haven't been around him enough
to know how it will work or what's best for him.
I do know if you have a guy that can
probably win eighteen twenty games as a pitcher and hit
fifty home runs, you're probably going to be pretty happy
with him. I mean, who would have thought he might
be underpaid?
Speaker 2 (26:48):
It's true. How do you assess Elie de la Cruz
like his future?
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Ultra ultra talented athletic? You know, he's the kind of
kid that people want to watch play.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Is he an Eric Davis type talent?
Speaker 3 (27:05):
You know what, That's actually a pretty good name. That's
actually a pretty good name. I'm trying to be a
little careful because I haven't even met these guys yet,
but I'm looking forward to it, and I will start
that problem. Like I've talked to everybody on the team already,
but i haven't met a lot of them. But I'm
looking forward to getting with him because he is some
kind of talent.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Wait, how does that work? You get like a call
sheet and then you're just calling everybody. Or did you
do a big conference call?
Speaker 3 (27:30):
No? No, no, I called every single guy. In fact,
I was a kidding during the press conference, our general
manager Brad sent me a list of names and the
list was so small. Did I end up literally talking
to some US citizens about spreading the word about Red's baseball?
(27:52):
Because I was getting wrong numbers? I couldn't read the numbers.
Had a couple of people tell me like, hey man,
we don't care about the redid I'm like, how can
you not care about.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
The Reds you play on the team.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
You're like, I live and I live in South Carolina,
and you know so I told him, you know, you
gotta make the printing a little bit bigger.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
You probably still have a flip phone, don't you.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
No, But I'll tell you what I do have. I
have an se which is what uh that's one of
the old, old old phones, because because I know how
to use it. In fact, I told our I T
guy he just left here a minute ago. I said,
you need to go buy some et cetera, because your
world just got a little tougher.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Well, welcome to Cincinnati, and welcome back. Good to talk
to you.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Again, Dan, thanks so much. I appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
Tank it.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Terry Frankcona, the Reds manager, three time Manager of the Year,
won a couple of World Series titles. You know, there
are certain people you meet, and he never changed. Even
when he won, he didn't change. We're at Yankee Stadium
in the ALCS. They're about to be swept like his
(29:05):
His demeanor never changed. And I could see why he
was the perfect manager for that veteran team with the Dodgers,
because he kind of lets you, you know, get ready.
You know, he he trusted you and it worked out great.
And then all of a sudden, at the very end,
it felt like they were like, oh, you know what,
they're taking advantage Jim. He's too nice. I mean, he
(29:27):
is nice. He's too nice. But lad he's back in baseball.
I go out to the Fall League in Scottsdale, and
I'm going to meet Charles Barkley out there. We're going
to do a conversation for ESPN, the Sunday Conversation with
Michael Jordan. So Jordan's agreed to let Charles do it,
(29:48):
but I have to go out because I have to
help Charles do this. We get there and Michael is
not having a good day. He's in his uniform or
sitting in the dugout. Charles is there, and then I'm
next to Charles. Well, I know I've gone all the
way out there. Now, Terry is the manager. I know
I've gone all the way out there, and Michael is
(30:08):
not doing this interview. And Charles knows that Michael's doing
this interview. Therefore, I realized we're not doing this interview.
And I had sold this to my bosses at ESPN.
I said, hey, Charles said he'll do the interview with Jordan.
I'm going to go out with him. It's a big deal.
(30:29):
We get there and Mike, I don't even know if
he acknowledged me, like he was he was having a
bad day about something, and you can just see him
with his arms folded and he is looking out to
the field. Charles is there looking out to whatever Michael's
looking out to. And then I'm kind of lost in
(30:52):
the moment, like I just whiffed on this. I just whiffed.
And there's a picture that I have and it tells everything.
It's like he's not having a good day. Therefore he's
not having a good day. Therefore he's not having a
good day. You would be correct, all right, last call
for phone calls? What we learned, what's in store tomorrow,
(31:13):
This day in sports history. All of that, plus Todd
Fritz does his Donald Trump impersonation.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
After this, be sure to catch the live edition of
The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six

Speaker 7 (32:22):
Looking at all those emmys, I'm gonna go with Bob Costas.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
So that is very empty. That's just empty stuff. It's
just you get a statue. Who cares it's empty?
Speaker 5 (32:34):
You would rather have empty room, have an empty room
rather than fifty seven Emmys. Yeah, or you could have
no rings.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Yes, Paulie, Larry Fitzgerald or Bob Costas.
Speaker 8 (32:47):
That's a toughie. You always lean towards playing sports overcovering them. Yeah,
but the extreme of certain guy's careers in the sports media.
I'm gonna go Larry Fitzgerald. I want to play sports.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
I would go Larry Fitzgerald. I mean, I mastered this,
so why do I want to be Bob his career?
But Larry, you know, I still got some things I
got to prove as an athlete. He's doing that on
the Let's Go podcast. Yes, with well he does play
a lot of golf, a lot of golf. All right, right?

The headline today or tomorrow? What you weren't ready for this?
Speaker 5 (33:28):
I've had my headline written, of course, No you don't.

Lean trimmed down roster. It's finally getting right.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Leaning to take this serious. I take this. You don't.
I take you took all last week off. You should
have come in with ideas, with energy. I know I
offered zero, absolutely zero, this much, zero, this much. Craig
(34:53):
in New Jersey, Hi, Craig, what's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Hey, Craig.
Speaker 17 (35:00):
First of the weekend, birthplace of college football, being handed
their first loss of the season. Always tough, and know
it's gonna happen eventually, but it's no big deal. Best
of the weekend. I know you got tuned in one
o'clock and on Saturday ten am. On Sunday to watch
the New Jersey Devil sweep the NHL Global Series. They
are now first in the NHL. Granted, nobody else in
(35:22):
the league has played a game yet, so well we'll
take it.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Thank you, alrighty Okay, I see what he did. Alan
Atlanta is back. Hi, Alan, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 14 (35:34):
Good morning, Dan? Yeah, I was really happy last week,
but then I overslept and didn't get into the call
waiting line until last call for last week. But thanks
to Fritzy's botty mouth, the entire segment got usurped. Didn't
get my victory lap. Then Saturday comes along and Diego
(35:55):
Bleeping Pavilla. Although, by the way, great interview, but then
he ruins my weekend, and now I got to listen
to all these Tennessee in ers or whatever you call him,
just gloating like we're the best team in Southeast though
it's your bandy. Calm down, your comp calm down. Ruined
my whole weekend so bad. I was hate watching Red Zone.
(36:18):
Couldn't even be happy that my fantasy team finally is
winning for the first time in five weeks, all because
of Diego Bleeping Pavia It's just not fair, Dan.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
I like how that he was proud of himself. He
made it through the entire interview without cursing, and then
at the very end he cursed because right after they
beat Alabama, he's on the field being interviewed and he's
dropping an F bomb and he said, oh yeah, they
told me not to cuss on the show here today,
(36:50):
and we even asked him. I think Fritzie asked him
not to curse, because he did after the win. And
he was great until the very end when he s
bah yes.
Speaker 7 (37:01):
But then he sounded like Clay Davis from the Wire.
Speaker 8 (37:03):
She whoa no, she whoa let a breathe.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
What a great character.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
Great character.
Speaker 5 (37:17):
I wonder who he got that from.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
It has to be somebody who grew up with.
Speaker 5 (37:21):
It's absolutely somebody that he knew in real life that
would say that. And he's like, you know what, I'm
going to keep that in my back pocket someday.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Matten Dayton, Hi, Matt, would's on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (37:31):
She Hi Dan five to ten and a fatherly two two.
I'm a big time Cincinna Bengles San And obviously a
season hasn't gone is expected, and I guess my biggest
question is who do we trade for to help the defense?
And what is the biggest trade target do you think
that's out there on the market from November sixth?
Speaker 2 (37:54):
I don't think there is. I mean, the people think
that they're just players out there. They're magically going to appear. Now,
maybe you've got some teams that are going to be
selling and you're able to pick up somebody. But are
the Browns Jacksonville, I mean run down Carolina? Are there
going to be players who are available? And DeVante Adams
(38:16):
is available? But I guess nobody's blown away the Raiders yet, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 8 (38:21):
Just as importantly, I have some backdrop on Isaiah Whitlock Jr.
Is the actor you know him from the Wire. He
first said it on film, supposedly in twenty fifth Hour,
where he was a cop who busts Edward Norton's drug
dealing character. He drops it a few different times in there,
and then he did it often on the Wire, he
said an interview. He picked that up from an uncle
(38:41):
of his who did it during his child.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Yeah, that's surprised. Mike and Wisconsin. Hi, Mike, what sonyry Hey?
Speaker 12 (38:48):
Dan got a worst and a best. The worst packer
has got a w But I think Jordan loves pick
six has to go in with the Buck fumble and
dani Orloski. I don't know what the heck that was.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
If they lost Mike, if they lost I think it
would be singled out far more. But when you win,
it's like, uh, that's an ill advised pass. It's just
an ill advised pass. If you lose, it's like, oh
my god, that's terrible. The but you know, and the
butt fumble wasn't even Mark Sanchez's fault. The offensive lineman
(39:22):
got blown up and then that's how that happened.
Speaker 8 (39:25):
You're blaming the butt.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Yes, fair, This day's sports history, PAULI just a couple, and.
Speaker 8 (39:32):
We love this one. Nineteen eighteen, the overhit Georgia Tech
football defeated Cumberland College two twenty two to zero.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
I think that's nineteen sixteen, nineteen sixteen, we'll check, what
do you have nineteen eighteen? I do because I remember
going to the game and I thought it was nineteen sixteen.
Speaker 8 (39:47):
Should I call Coverling College for a confirmation. See what
they say, like their football staff.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Okay, they named the Heisman after this guy, didn't they?
Speaker 6 (39:55):
Ye?
Speaker 2 (39:56):
John Heisman was the head coach of Georgia Tech.
Speaker 8 (39:59):
He never won Heisman Trope, and.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
They won two hundred and twenty two to nothing over Cumberland.
Speaker 8 (40:05):
It ran for nine hundred and seventy eight yards. Yes,
I mean, come on, there's a balance in that offense.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (40:09):
Barry Bonds two thousand and one for the Giants. You
may have heard of him. He hits his seventy seventy
third home run on this date, new major league record.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
Wait you missed one.
Speaker 8 (40:19):
Oh that's too easy. Well, October seventh.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
We do celebrate it every year, okay. Nineteen eighty four, Yeah,
Walter Peyton passes Jim Brown on the all time.
Speaker 8 (40:31):
Career rushing against New Orleans. Little polypaps in the corner.
Speaker 2 (40:34):

the left?
Speaker 8 (40:36):
Yeah, hitch the left.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Well.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
There was some tension last night Dodgers Padres, like too
much tension and that was getting out of hand, Like
this is where you worry about before, during, and after
a game just because this rivalry and it was tense
last night. Padres get a split, six home runs and
(00:49):
now you go to San Diego. I'd love having a rivalry,
but that to me was uncomfortable last night. Where there's
twenty minutes, I mean, borderline uncomfortable. Tigers, Guardians coming up today, Royals, Yankees,

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
If you're watching on Peacock, I don't know the voice
is kind of hanging on today, Todd. I know that
you had thoughts and prayers for me, and uh, I
think you know I'm gonna need those. I kind of
like it to me more kind of No, that's kind
of weird. It worked up.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I'm just telling you I feel about it.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Yeah, So, just trying to hold on here a little
under the weather. But guess who was back? Seaton O'Connor.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Yes, yes, thanks guys. Great to be here.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Oh yeah, first person I saw when I came in.
I'm like, there's seating. I'm like, yes, yes, maybe some
stability to the back row because Fridays Friday didn't go well.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
In fact, Seaton was out most of last week and
we went off the rails. But now we're back. We're
mature in the back crow and full speed ahead.
Speaker 7 (02:02):
In fact.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
See, and I'm gonna start with you best and worst
of the weekend. Give me your best and worst.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
My worst of the weekend is the Seahawks losing to
the Giants. Mentioned that earlier before. Okay, my other worster
ish is that I just saw a comparison saying the
Sam Darnold's revival is threatening to go the way of
Josh Dobbs, and I felt like that was just very whoa.
(02:29):
I felt like that was just very cruel. There's no
reason for that kind of negativity.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
On a month.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Although the Josh Dobbs thing got out of hand last year,
it was like anybody could have had him, and then
all of a sudden it went away.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
But at the same time, though, don't you hear that?
And you're like, yeah, I knew I fell for that
once before.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Damn it.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
There was like a boy band eruption there with him, like, man,
do you you know what? Until you said it, I
had forgotten about it, and then I remember it was
like anybody could have had him.
Speaker 8 (02:59):
It was just like last year, Yes, Paul, Yeah, We're
in this weird juncture of the NFL season where Week
one through five things happened that in week twelve, we're like,
did that happen this season? Was Joshobs a thing? Like
I have no idea if Sam Donald six weeks from
now will be an MVP candidate or what Okay, let's
ask that question, Oh MBB Candida.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Or what Sam Donald MVP candidate in six weeks Sam
Donald MVB candidate or dot dot Dodd Todd.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
I'm gonna say MVP candidate. They'll keep it rolling enough
for him to be in the.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
Conversation positivity by you on a Monday Seaton, Sam Donald
MVP or I'm going dot dot dom Okay, Marvin, No,
just a pro bowler.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Well, you did say pro Bowl starter at the beginning
of the year, didn't you.
Speaker 7 (03:49):
That's right, like David Garrard, Steve Berlin.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
All right, Trent Dilfer, that'd be a great call. Oh,
Trent Dilford, University UAB, Alabama, Birmingham. It's not going well.
I think they just got blown out again. Yeah, it's
not going well. Uh, Paully, Sam Donald MVP or dot
dot six weeks, six weeks.
Speaker 8 (04:12):
Still in the MVP picture. They're at the Lions, but
then they have Rams, Colts, Jaguars, Titans, winnable, very winnable stretch.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Okay, okay, is he an MVP candidate right now? I
guess is my question? Is Sam Darnald there for MVP?
Speaker 7 (04:30):
Unanimous? Yes?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
No, No, he's not unanimous.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
No he's not.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Who who is the MVP right now? Isn't that weird? I? Okay,
here's one. Jaden Daniels.
Speaker 8 (04:50):
Jaden right, now I have current odds as of this morning.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Now, Jaden Daniels is more of an MVP candidate than
Sam Darnald in my opinion. Yeah, well, I'm just saying,
in my opinion, yes, in my opinion, my humble opinion.
Speaker 8 (05:03):
You don't want to distance yourself from that six weeks.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
No, No, okay, who's more of an According.
Speaker 8 (05:10):
To Vegas Mahomes, they always go with this triumvirt By
the way, Mahomes lamar Josh Allen top three.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Yeah, that's always that's not fun plug and play.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Yeah, c J.
Speaker 8 (05:20):
Stroud, Jade and Daniels, Sam Darnold are tier two.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
So if you're looking at Tier one, are you removing
Josh Allen?
Speaker 8 (05:29):
He stays in until they're for the entire season. That's
how it works.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
But if it didn't work that way and we were
just you know, having fun for the next three minutes
and wanted to talk about it, who are you removing
from that group? Is it Josh Allen? And that's who
you're putting You're putting Jaden Daniels in. If we're only
allowed three quarterbacks in Tier one, yes.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Nine for thirty Yeah, I know, I mean Jayden Daniels
is doing things that haven't been done by a rookie
quarterback before they run the ball, they're winning. You know,
completion percentage wasn't great this past weekend, but he's been
doing some pretty pretty great things. So yeah, I'd put
(06:14):
him in there. It feels like Josh Allen and the
Bills became underdogs this year. You know, it's like, yeah,
well they lost Stefan Diggs, they're an underdog. They're still
the class of that division. Marvin Best and Worst of
the weekend.
Speaker 9 (06:29):
Best of the weekend, Dj Moore from the Bears five receptions,
one hundred and five yards, two touchdowns against.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
His former team, the Panthers. And then worst of the
weekend the.
Speaker 9 (06:39):
New York market. Man, they're depressed. Rutgers. They took their
first loss of the seasons to Nebraska. Now they are
I think three or one or four to one this season.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Well, wait a minute, the Giants won, but that's split.
The Yankees won. What are you talking about? Oh, you're
just talking about the New York market with college football.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
Yes, Oh, when you think about when you think about
the New York.
Speaker 9 (07:04):
Market, you think Rutgers, Nicks, Yankees, Mets, Jets, Rutgers you
ever driven from Piscataway to Manhattan?
Speaker 7 (07:13):
No, me, neither, right exactly, It's not like it's Newark
or East Ruththerford.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Yeah, Scataway. Hey, hey, what do you want to do tonight?
Speaker 5 (07:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Why don't we just slip into Manhattan get some dinner.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Two hours?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Just the fact that they tried to sell that that, Hey,
big ten, you want to expand into the New York market,
You're barely expanding into the Jersey market, Central Jersey. You're
gonna tell me about Manhattan Rutgers football. We own Manhattan, Yes, Tom.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
I think with a telescope from New Brunswick you can
see the stature.
Speaker 8 (07:48):
Libby Okay, best and worst of the weekend, Paul, I'm
gonna get it to Rhys Davis, the host of College
Game Day. They he hosts College Game Day out in
cow So his wake up for the show was one
am local time. He does College Game Day. He's got
all the stuff he's got to do. Afterwards, then the host,
the play by play person for cal Miami, had a
(08:09):
family emergency and had to leave and so on short notice,
with very little prep, Rhys Davis hosted with a sore
throat by the way, cal versus Miami and brock Oswiler
did a very good job helping him out. I don't
know if this is worst or best of the weekend.
I love the coverage or lack of coverage of bow
Knicks and his coach, Sean Payton getting into a little
(08:30):
bit of a tiff on the sidelines, because if you win,
like the Broncos did, it shows fire and spirit. If
you lose, you're disgruntled and you got issues with your quarterback.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yeah, because if this was Sean Payton and Russell Wilson,
oh they're not long for each other, there's trouble there.
But Bownicks and Sean Payton were kind of back and forth.
They won more importantly, you see.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
That does sort of emphasize why a coach like Sean
Payton would be like, you know, why don't we get
rid of the veteran guy and just bringing somebody, even
when it's Russell Wilson who had it's because of his
history and track record. They're like, this is a guy
who's done some things, and I don't really want any feedback.
What I want is a quarterback who go in there
(09:13):
and do what I'm telling you to do and then
we're gonna win. Okay, I don't really want your feedback
on I don't know, maybe we should.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Have, you know, well, but he took it from a rookie.
That's what was surprising.
Speaker 8 (09:25):
Yeah, PAULI bonus coverage in the look good, play good category.
Remember the Atlanta Falcons throwback uniforms they win last week.
The Denver Broncos won mostly because of their uniforms. They
were wow almost ninety.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Wow of the reasons, Todd, do you have best and
worst of the WEEKND?
Speaker 4 (09:40):
I do best.
Speaker 10 (09:41):
Down twenty five in the middle of the third, Miami
quarterback cam Ward leads his team back for a thirty
nine thirty eight winn A col thirty five or fifty
three for four hundred and thirty seven yards. Two passing
tds even rushed for another. Still very much in the
Heisman conversation.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Worst.
Speaker 10 (09:53):
The previously undefeated ninth rank Missouri Tigers lay a big
egg at College Station. They were down thirty four to
nothing midway through the third, lost forty one to ten
to Texas A and.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
M Okay, but did they kick a field goal at
the very end for the over I think check that.
I thought Missouri kicked a field goal at the very
end they were getting blown out and the field goal
(10:22):
was for the cover.
Speaker 8 (10:24):
Yes, Paul, that's correct. Many betters were either upset or
joyous as they kicked a meaningless field goal to cash
in on the over.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
So they're getting blown out and at the very end,
instead of going for a touchdown, they kick a field
Doesn't that draw some suspicion?
Speaker 8 (10:45):
But you can't ask the coach about that?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Why not go for a touchdown? Why why are you
kicking a field goal?
Speaker 8 (10:51):
You could ask it in that fashion I would. You
can't say, coach, what did you do? You have any
action yet to tell your guy.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Coach you had the over?
Speaker 9 (10:59):
Yes, Marvin, No, I was just saying by just that much,
just a little bit of suspicion right there, just a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
How can you explain that? You know what, we wanted
to give our field goal kicker an opportunity in a
hostile environment to kick an important field goal, Like what
do you how do.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
You sell that?
Speaker 7 (11:21):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Eddie and delmar Hi Eddie.
Speaker 11 (11:28):
Good morning everybody, Paulie the captain, Marvin the DJA seating
the boy band with the good looks and Todd, the
diminisher of humor. My best of the weekend is the
Padres launching projectiles back into the stands. First one was
here's your ballback, loser. Here's another ball, and then here's another,
(11:51):
here's another. All right, six of them?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
There you go.
Speaker 11 (11:54):
We good? And then I like how I thought Jack
Felaharty's sitting silent on the bed. None of his teammates
wanted to say.
Speaker 12 (12:02):
Hi to him.
Speaker 11 (12:03):
I wonder why that Tigers went on such a run
right after they jettisoned his ass.
Speaker 13 (12:08):
But uh, Seaton, I.
Speaker 11 (12:10):
Celebrated one week of sobriety yesterday, stay strong, and you
guys slept on a top gun or sorry, I just
blew it. You guys slept on top crews movies that
he didn't run in both top guns. And it's a
little late, but it's a harken back to the only
(12:30):
funny moment Todd Fritz has ever had on the show.
Wow and Dan's love of Irish goodbyes. A name for
the boat, Aosta premature.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Okay, thank you, Eddie. Eddie got a lot in there.
Del Mar. Everybody go visit Eddie and Delmar great place
to go to.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Del Mar Aosta premature is Tot's greatest line of all time.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
It was that was the Rick Patino having an affair,
having an affair at this Italian restaurant in Lexington.
Speaker 8 (13:00):
The godfather of mock headlines.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
It is.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
As a long time ago.
Speaker 14 (13:10):
That was.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Twelve years ago.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Yeah, Paul, that's the only funny moment I beg to differ.
There has to be at least one other one, Paul
and Colorado. Hey Paul, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 15 (13:24):
When us dus my friends, me, Shermanos, Jilly Verde. I've
got two best of the weekends and two worst of
the weekends. And by the way, five foot nine and
three quarter one eighty unusual grandfast strength. Okay, Broncos of course,
(13:45):
what a great old fashioned butt kicking. Loved it, loved it,
loved it, loved it. We go nowhere without beating the raiders.
So we're going somewhere this year. And the second, of course,
is brewing up a big lot of green chili from
Plublos new crop this year. Pueblo chili is the best
(14:07):
mirousol points to the sun when it grows. And by
two worst, of course, I love the pinners. Love what
they're doing with the new uniforms.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
They gotta go.
Speaker 15 (14:19):
Let's just stick with what we got. Wasn't that the
most people uniform you saw yesterday?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Wait? Who's uniforms?
Speaker 15 (14:26):
The Broncos? Of course?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Oh yeah, I thought they were nice. I liked them,
We all.
Speaker 15 (14:32):
Loved them, loved them, and of course they wong with them.
And then my second worst, of course, is Monday. Love
you guys, take care of.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Alrighty, Paul, thank you? That's Paul and Colorado, Kyle and Charleston. Hi, Kyle, Dan,
how's it going?
Speaker 15 (14:52):
Five?
Speaker 16 (14:56):
Not even going to do bast of the week? After
the Jets performance yesterday. I know the play calling has
been absolutely terrible, but Rogers, honestly is our biggest issue.
There are guys running open downfield all the time, and
he's just too afraid to hit him. I don't even
know where we go from here.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
That's it, yep, Okay, thank you, Kyle, that's it. Just
wanted to call up and say the play calling is bad.
They got to get Davante Adams. And I don't know
if Davante Adams is Davante Adams, but they gotta get
They got to get something.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
They just don't.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
They're not dangerous. I don't know, and they could easily
have two more wins.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
Yeah, Marvin, doesn't Devanta have a hamstring injury right now?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Well, I have a hamstring injury until I get traded.
Then all of a sudden, you'll probably be medically cleared. Man,
I'm just guessing here, because that hamstring injury. How do
we measure that concussion protocol? You can you know, be
cleared like that hamstring?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
How is it?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (16:10):
Man?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Probably gonna feel better on the East Coast, like you
know that, like meadow Lands. Probably feel a little better
there in that environment.
Speaker 8 (16:20):
Yes, more real injury, DeVante Adams hamstring, Josh Allen's ankle.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
I mean, I give credit to Josh that he tried
to sell his ankle was hurting, his head had to
be really hurting, but he tried to sell them. All Right,
we'll take a break. We'll talk to the new Reds manager,
Terry Frankcona. They like to call him Tito. He'll join us.
Coming up next, Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
I saw the story that Terry Francona was going to
become the Reds manager, and I'm thinking, wait a minute,
I thought he retired. He stepped away from the Guardians.
Terry Francona joining us on the program. What happened to retirement?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Hello? Dan?
Speaker 6 (17:19):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
I stepped away a year ago because I just didn't
think my health was allowing me to do the job appropriately.
Wasn't for any other reason. I loved being in Cleveland.
The people were fantastic, the people I worked for, but
I felt like I was kind of short changing some people.
And I stepped away for a year and kind of
(17:42):
took care of myself and had a semi normal life
and did not expect to be interviewing for jobs. But
when the Reds reached out and we talked, it just
felt right. And that was how it felt the first
day in Cleveland, and that's how it felt here. Felt right.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
What was it like to wear normal clothes for an
entire year?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Well, if you know me at all, that means I
have three pair of jeans and like you know, four
golf shirts, and but one of my favorite things in
the whole world is get into the ballpark, you know,
getting in your slide and shorts and your and your
shower shoes and figuring out how you're going to beat
somebody's ass that night. That's one of my favorite things.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
But okay, sometimes when you step away. You see coaches
do this in the NFL all the time, Well they'll
step away, and what kind of clarity did you get
and how does that help you health wise of going
right back into what you were trying to get away from.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
That's that's actually an honest and fair question.
Speaker 15 (18:47):
One.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
I don't think I'm ever going to have perspective. I don't.
I think at this age wins and losses. The losses
kill me, and that's I don't think that's ever going
to change. I really have tried to take care of
myself and get myself in a position where I can
do the job appropriately. Now there's gonna be some challenges,
(19:09):
I know, you know, we're gonna get into the season
and late nights and stuff, and I'm gonna have to
be aware of that. That's the best I can do.
I do think I'm in a way better position health
wise where I can actually go do this job.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Who did you consult.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
I didn't talk well. I talked to my three girls
and one of my best friends, but nobody. I didn't
want anybody to know. And I told the Reds guys
that too. I said, hey, man, I need to keep this.
And so they came out to my house and visited
with me in Tucson and we talked for about five
hours and right away we hit it off pretty well
(19:49):
and it was a comfortable conversation. Into my palm started
getting a little sweaty, and I'm like, okay, you know
this is this is getting real.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
What'd the guardians say?
Speaker 3 (20:01):
You know what, There's not a person there that you
could you could find that I would say something negative about.
They're the nicest people I've ever worked for. Like I said,
when I stepped down, it wasn't because I was disappointed
in people. I just didn't think I was doing the
job appropriately and it was getting harder for me, and
(20:22):
I was becoming short on patience just because you know,
when you don't feel good, and that's not healthy for
a manager.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
How often do you think about the Red Sox World
Series Champs?
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Not very often. I mean I get people will remind
me of it when I'm out in public or something.
But I'm actually afraid. You know, they did that thirty
for thirty thing, and I'm actually afraid to watch it
because I keep I'm afraid we might lose because there
seemed like there's so many things that could have gone
wrong and we would have lost. But I'm you know,
I enjoyed it, like it was probably the four funnest
(20:57):
baseball days of my life. But I I'm pretty good
about moving on and staying in the moment.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
But do you think how many of your players are
going to know that you were the manager of the
Red Sox and one World Series titles?
Speaker 3 (21:10):
You know what, Dan, I'm not sure I care about that. Okay,
they don't need to know that. What they need to
know is that I have their best interest at heart,
and I want to make the Reds be the best
team we can be. I think in this game, it's
not what you did. You got to keep earning your
stripes every day like I hate the world. Well, this
(21:31):
guy arrived, Man, we're all still arriving. And the day
you think you've arrived, you're missing the boat.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Talking to Terry Francona, the new manager of the Cincinnati Reds,
We've seen this with smaller market teams management ownership, where
they say, hey, we're a smaller market, we can't spend money,
we can't compete. But you are seeing some of these
other markets that maybe didn't spend a lot of money
that are competing in the postseason. That's no longer an excuse.
(21:59):
Do you think for smaller mid market teams?
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Well, you know what, it'll never be an excuse ever.
You know, I think, being just completely honest, the it's
not altogether fair the way the system is set up.
But I'm I'll never You'll never hear me use that
as an excuse. Man. I was in Boston where we
were kind of one of the haves, you know that.
(22:23):
I went to Cleveland and it was a little different,
But I was very careful never to say, because my
job is to get the most out of whoever we have,
and that's what I get a big kick out of.
I don't need to be the GM or the president.
I mean, shoot, man, I went to the University of
Arizona and I'm a second semester freshman. I don't need
(22:45):
to be dabbling in that kind of stuff. I just
want to do baseball.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Wait, you didn't make it through your second semester at Arizona.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Well, I mean I no, I mean I was there,
but that's what that's what my thing says. On a second,
I had some difficult All.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
These take me back to when we were in Arizona.
When you're managing Michael Jordan, when you first get who
how does that work out that all of a sudden
Jordan's going to be on your team and you're managing him.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Well, it happened so in Sarasota when I was with
the White Sox as a double A manager. We used
to meet at seven am in the morning every morning
in this trailer and you to go over the day
and I was kind of like half asleep, and all
of a sudden I heard Michael will be assigned to
the Birmingham work group. And my life changed like that.
(23:37):
I mean, I went from just being happy that our
games were on radio to dealing with people like you know,
Ted Copple and and so. And I didn't know it
at the time, but it was probably the greatest learning
experience I'd ever been put in. And then when he
was going to play in the Fall leg I had
already been in the Fall League so they wanted to
kind of keep it, but he said, he goes. I
(23:59):
want him because I think he knew I knew the
lay of the land, and I could I learned how
to navigate his life. And he was great, man. I mean,
I'm telling you. The first thing I told him, I said, Michael,
you gotta respect the game of baseball. And I kind
of explained to him, like how much money these kids
(24:21):
weren't making. And you'd have a hard time getting me
to say something negative about him. He was awesome.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
But if you had had him, you know, so much
of baseball is like hockey, like you've done it. It's
it's repetitive, it's year after year after year. You can
be the greatest athlete, but to try to jump in
you unless you're Bo Jackson, But you know, it's really
really rare. What would you have had Michael Wart?
Speaker 16 (24:47):
Like?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Could you have made him a legitimate major leaguer? A starter?
Speaker 3 (24:52):
When I get asked that, I think the way I've
answered it always is, because I believe it is, you
need to get a thousand that bats under your before
you can even make a determination. He had about four
or five hundred. I also found out when you tell
him no, He's going to find a way to make
the answer be yes. And I've found out. And I
(25:15):
mean that's not just baseball, that's ping pong, tennis, golf.
I don't care what yatzi you name it. Man, he's
he's gonna try to beat you. He's gonna find a way.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
You get to see more of Otani now that you're
in the National League. That's good news for you.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Yeah, that's wonderful. Thanks for that. Just made my day
a little worse.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
What do you does anybody come to mind? Let's just
say hitting with Otani, let's leave out pitching. But who
comes to mind?
Speaker 3 (25:44):
That's the one thing about Otani that I don't think.
He's generational, Like his talent is generational. I don't know
that you can put a name with him. It's probably
disrespectful to him. I mean, this kid is and from
all I've heard, he's a one orful kid. And he
loves baseball, which is really good for the game, not
necessarily so good for when you're playing them.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Would you know the pitching parts the hard part. We've
seen what he can do when he's not pitching. You know,
he's stealing nearly sixty bases and he's hitting fifty home
runs value wise, would you capitalize more on him the
hitter all around player as or would you try to
split it like they've done before with him?
Speaker 3 (26:28):
You know what, Dan, I haven't been around him enough
to know how it will work or what's best for him.
I do know if you have a guy that can
probably win eighteen twenty games as a pitcher and hit
fifty home runs, you're probably going to be pretty happy
with him. I mean, who would have thought he might
be underpaid?
Speaker 2 (26:48):
It's true. How do you assess Elie de la Cruz
like his future?
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Ultra ultra talented athletic? You know, he's the kind of
kid that people want to watch play.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Is he an Eric Davis type talent?
Speaker 3 (27:05):
You know what, That's actually a pretty good name. That's
actually a pretty good name. I'm trying to be a
little careful because I haven't even met these guys yet,
but I'm looking forward to it, and I will start
that problem. Like I've talked to everybody on the team already,
but i haven't met a lot of them. But I'm
looking forward to getting with him because he is some
kind of talent.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Wait, how does that work? You get like a call
sheet and then you're just calling everybody. Or did you
do a big conference call?
Speaker 3 (27:30):
No? No, no, I called every single guy. In fact,
I was a kidding during the press conference, our general
manager Brad sent me a list of names and the
list was so small. Did I end up literally talking
to some US citizens about spreading the word about Red's baseball?
(27:52):
Because I was getting wrong numbers? I couldn't read the numbers.
Had a couple of people tell me like, hey man,
we don't care about the redid I'm like, how can
you not care about.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
The Reds you play on the team.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
You're like, I live and I live in South Carolina,
and you know so I told him, you know, you
gotta make the printing a little bit bigger.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
You probably still have a flip phone, don't you.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
No, But I'll tell you what I do have. I
have an se which is what uh that's one of
the old, old old phones, because because I know how
to use it. In fact, I told our I T
guy he just left here a minute ago. I said,
you need to go buy some et cetera, because your
world just got a little tougher.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Well, welcome to Cincinnati, and welcome back. Good to talk
to you.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Again, Dan, thanks so much. I appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
Tank it.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Terry Frankcona, the Reds manager, three time Manager of the Year,
won a couple of World Series titles. You know, there
are certain people you meet, and he never changed. Even
when he won, he didn't change. We're at Yankee Stadium
in the ALCS. They're about to be swept like his
(29:05):
His demeanor never changed. And I could see why he
was the perfect manager for that veteran team with the Dodgers,
because he kind of lets you, you know, get ready.
You know, he he trusted you and it worked out great.
And then all of a sudden, at the very end,
it felt like they were like, oh, you know what,
they're taking advantage Jim. He's too nice. I mean, he
(29:27):
is nice. He's too nice. But lad he's back in baseball.
I go out to the Fall League in Scottsdale, and
I'm going to meet Charles Barkley out there. We're going
to do a conversation for ESPN, the Sunday Conversation with
Michael Jordan. So Jordan's agreed to let Charles do it,
(29:48):
but I have to go out because I have to
help Charles do this. We get there and Michael is
not having a good day. He's in his uniform or
sitting in the dugout. Charles is there, and then I'm
next to Charles. Well, I know I've gone all the
way out there. Now, Terry is the manager. I know
I've gone all the way out there, and Michael is
(30:08):
not doing this interview. And Charles knows that Michael's doing
this interview. Therefore, I realized we're not doing this interview.
And I had sold this to my bosses at ESPN.
I said, hey, Charles said he'll do the interview with Jordan.
I'm going to go out with him. It's a big deal.
(30:29):
We get there and Mike, I don't even know if
he acknowledged me, like he was he was having a
bad day about something, and you can just see him
with his arms folded and he is looking out to
the field. Charles is there looking out to whatever Michael's
looking out to. And then I'm kind of lost in
(30:52):
the moment, like I just whiffed on this. I just whiffed.
And there's a picture that I have and it tells everything.
It's like he's not having a good day. Therefore he's
not having a good day. Therefore he's not having a
good day. You would be correct, all right, last call
for phone calls? What we learned, what's in store tomorrow,
(31:13):
This day in sports history. All of that, plus Todd
Fritz does his Donald Trump impersonation.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
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 app.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Is it possible to be one of the greatest receivers
of all time and be underrated? Larry Fitzgerald will join
us on the program tomorrow and Bob Costas. Whose career
do you want? Bob Costas or Larry Fitzgerald? Tom that old.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Question, I'm gonna say Bob Costas, Okay.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
Seaton jeepers, creepers, Well, Bob is y. It's kind of
the guy.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Well after me, oh, okay, fair enough, you're back, Marvin.
Who would you rather be, Larry Fitzgerald or Bob Costas?
Speaker 7 (32:22):
Looking at all those emmys, I'm gonna go with Bob Costas.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
So that is very empty. That's just empty stuff. It's
just you get a statue. Who cares it's empty?
Speaker 5 (32:34):
You would rather have empty room, have an empty room
rather than fifty seven Emmys. Yeah, or you could have
no rings.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Yes, Paulie, Larry Fitzgerald or Bob Costas.
Speaker 8 (32:47):
That's a toughie. You always lean towards playing sports overcovering them. Yeah,
but the extreme of certain guy's careers in the sports media.
I'm gonna go Larry Fitzgerald. I want to play sports.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
I would go Larry Fitzgerald. I mean, I mastered this,
so why do I want to be Bob his career?
But Larry, you know, I still got some things I
got to prove as an athlete. He's doing that on
the Let's Go podcast. Yes, with well he does play
a lot of golf, a lot of golf. All right, right?
(33:23):
The headline today or tomorrow? What you weren't ready for this?
Speaker 5 (33:28):
I've had my headline written, of course, No you don't.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
It feels like every time I ask you to write
the headline, it's very lame. O very well, that's gonna
be the truth that I tried, or not very late.
I'm gonna let you go last Seaton O'Connor todd write
the headline today for tomorrow?
Speaker 4 (33:49):
Who dad gonna repeat? Saints March over Chiefs.
Speaker 7 (33:53):
Marvin Saint Patrick's day.
Speaker 8 (34:00):
That Paulie the big Queasy, Saints fans sick of effort
versus the Chiefs, the Big Queasy, the double Fritzy y.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
See O'Connor. Today's headline for tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (34:15):
Today's headline for tomorrow. Off of tonight's game is.
Speaker 13 (34:22):
New or.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
Lean trimmed down roster. It's finally getting right.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Leaning to take this serious. I take this. You don't.
I take you took all last week off. You should
have come in with ideas, with energy. I know I
offered zero, absolutely zero, this much, zero, this much. Craig
(34:53):
in New Jersey, Hi, Craig, what's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Hey, Craig.
Speaker 17 (35:00):
First of the weekend, birthplace of college football, being handed
their first loss of the season. Always tough, and know
it's gonna happen eventually, but it's no big deal. Best
of the weekend. I know you got tuned in one
o'clock and on Saturday ten am. On Sunday to watch
the New Jersey Devil sweep the NHL Global Series. They
are now first in the NHL. Granted, nobody else in
(35:22):
the league has played a game yet, so well we'll
take it.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Thank you, alrighty Okay, I see what he did. Alan
Atlanta is back. Hi, Alan, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 14 (35:34):
Good morning, Dan? Yeah, I was really happy last week,
but then I overslept and didn't get into the call
waiting line until last call for last week. But thanks
to Fritzy's botty mouth, the entire segment got usurped. Didn't
get my victory lap. Then Saturday comes along and Diego
(35:55):
Bleeping Pavilla. Although, by the way, great interview, but then
he ruins my weekend, and now I got to listen
to all these Tennessee in ers or whatever you call him,
just gloating like we're the best team in Southeast though
it's your bandy. Calm down, your comp calm down. Ruined
my whole weekend so bad. I was hate watching Red Zone.
(36:18):
Couldn't even be happy that my fantasy team finally is
winning for the first time in five weeks, all because
of Diego Bleeping Pavia It's just not fair, Dan.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
I like how that he was proud of himself. He
made it through the entire interview without cursing, and then
at the very end he cursed because right after they
beat Alabama, he's on the field being interviewed and he's
dropping an F bomb and he said, oh yeah, they
told me not to cuss on the show here today,
(36:50):
and we even asked him. I think Fritzie asked him
not to curse, because he did after the win. And
he was great until the very end when he s
bah yes.
Speaker 7 (37:01):
But then he sounded like Clay Davis from the Wire.
Speaker 8 (37:03):
She whoa no, she whoa let a breathe.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
What a great character.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
Great character.
Speaker 5 (37:17):
I wonder who he got that from.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
It has to be somebody who grew up with.
Speaker 5 (37:21):
It's absolutely somebody that he knew in real life that
would say that. And he's like, you know what, I'm
going to keep that in my back pocket someday.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Matten Dayton, Hi, Matt, would's on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (37:31):
She Hi Dan five to ten and a fatherly two two.
I'm a big time Cincinna Bengles San And obviously a
season hasn't gone is expected, and I guess my biggest
question is who do we trade for to help the defense?
And what is the biggest trade target do you think
that's out there on the market from November sixth?
Speaker 2 (37:54):
I don't think there is. I mean, the people think
that they're just players out there. They're magically going to appear. Now,
maybe you've got some teams that are going to be
selling and you're able to pick up somebody. But are
the Browns Jacksonville, I mean run down Carolina? Are there
going to be players who are available? And DeVante Adams
(38:16):
is available? But I guess nobody's blown away the Raiders yet, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 8 (38:21):
Just as importantly, I have some backdrop on Isaiah Whitlock Jr.
Is the actor you know him from the Wire. He
first said it on film, supposedly in twenty fifth Hour,
where he was a cop who busts Edward Norton's drug
dealing character. He drops it a few different times in there,
and then he did it often on the Wire, he
said an interview. He picked that up from an uncle
(38:41):
of his who did it during his child.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Yeah, that's surprised. Mike and Wisconsin. Hi, Mike, what sonyry Hey?
Speaker 12 (38:48):
Dan got a worst and a best. The worst packer
has got a w But I think Jordan loves pick
six has to go in with the Buck fumble and
dani Orloski. I don't know what the heck that was.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
If they lost Mike, if they lost I think it
would be singled out far more. But when you win,
it's like, uh, that's an ill advised pass. It's just
an ill advised pass. If you lose, it's like, oh
my god, that's terrible. The but you know, and the
butt fumble wasn't even Mark Sanchez's fault. The offensive lineman
(39:22):
got blown up and then that's how that happened.
Speaker 8 (39:25):
You're blaming the butt.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Yes, fair, This day's sports history, PAULI just a couple, and.
Speaker 8 (39:32):
We love this one. Nineteen eighteen, the overhit Georgia Tech
football defeated Cumberland College two twenty two to zero.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
I think that's nineteen sixteen, nineteen sixteen, we'll check, what
do you have nineteen eighteen? I do because I remember
going to the game and I thought it was nineteen sixteen.
Speaker 8 (39:47):
Should I call Coverling College for a confirmation. See what
they say, like their football staff.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Okay, they named the Heisman after this guy, didn't they?
Speaker 6 (39:55):
Ye?
Speaker 2 (39:56):
John Heisman was the head coach of Georgia Tech.
Speaker 8 (39:59):
He never won Heisman Trope, and.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
They won two hundred and twenty two to nothing over Cumberland.
Speaker 8 (40:05):
It ran for nine hundred and seventy eight yards. Yes,
I mean, come on, there's a balance in that offense.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (40:09):
Barry Bonds two thousand and one for the Giants. You
may have heard of him. He hits his seventy seventy
third home run on this date, new major league record.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
Wait you missed one.
Speaker 8 (40:19):
Oh that's too easy. Well, October seventh.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
We do celebrate it every year, okay. Nineteen eighty four, Yeah,
Walter Peyton passes Jim Brown on the all time.
Speaker 8 (40:31):
Career rushing against New Orleans. Little polypaps in the corner.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Stay seats and I think was it a run to
the left?
Speaker 8 (40:36):
Yeah, hitch the left.
Speaker 7 (40:37):
Good for you, Todd.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
What did I learn today?
Speaker 4 (40:39):
James and Virginia always in.
Speaker 7 (40:40):
A good morning salute?
Speaker 4 (40:41):
The commander is four and one for the first time
since two thousand and eight.
