Dan has an issue with how conference champions got an outsized advantage in the expanded College Football Playoffs. Dan wonders if Juan Soto's cost is going to be worth the money for the New York Mets, and he still wants Ohtani instead of Soto.

You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

Hope you had a great weekend. Everybody gangzol here ready
to go. Our full lineup, the Minister of Humor, Fritzie
Seat and Marv Paulie. Yours truly the backroom guys as
well as we do every Monday, best and worst of
the weekend, which you saw that you liked you didn't like?
Operator Tylers sitting by each seven seven three DP show
play the day, poll question, stat of the Day, all
(00:25):
of that forthcoming.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Our stat of the Day is.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Always brought to you by Panini America, the official trading

(00:47):
no particular order. The Chiefs continue to do it as
only the Chiefs can. They're now twelve and one as
they squeak by the Chargers, the Rams and the Bills.
Best game of the weekend certainly back and forth and
no turnovers. It was just fun. That was just sort
of backyard football. Whoever has the ball last was going
(01:08):
to win. The Vikings with Sam Darnold still look impressive,
Eagles survive, Steelers look good, Buccaneers still alive, the Niners
still alive. Bengals at the Cowboys. Cowboys are getting five
and a half in Dallas, which is kind of surprising.
All Right, we'll talk about the college football playoffs. The
(01:30):
bookmakers don't think these are going to be competitive games
this according to DraftKings this morning, Indiana against Notre Dame.
At Notre Dame, Indiana is getting seven and a half,
SMU is getting nine at Penn State, Clemson getting eleven
at Texas, and then Tennessee getting seven and a half
against Ohio State.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
By the way, odds.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
To win the national title, we have co favorites to
win the national title. Oregon and Texas are your co
favorites this morning, followed by Georgia, Ohio State, and then
Penn State. If I would have said to you in September, hey,
Arizona State's going to be in. Clemson's going to be
(02:13):
in SMU is going to be in Boise State's going
to be in. Indiana's going to be in. You'd go
wait basketball, no football because Clemson got roughed up early.
Remember that Georgia roughed them up and then we moved
on from Clemson. Well, all you have to do is
win your conference. I mean, I don't know if Clemson's
any good, but they won their conference, so they're in.
(02:36):
SMU survived, and I say survived so they could get
in because they scored seventeen points in the fourth quarter.
If they do not score those seventeen, if they score seven,
I don't think they're in the playoffs, and I will
sit corrected. I didn't think the committee was going to
leave Alabama out, and I'm not alone in that, but
it was an interesting conversation they had to have with
(03:00):
Alabama didn't get in. Why didn't they get in? They
talk about strength to schedule. Well, when you get embarrassed,
you got embarrassed against Vandy, you got embarrassed against Oklahoma.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Just win.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
That's what this is all about. Arizona State, I think
was picked for last in the Big Twelve. They're good team.
They roughed up Iowa State, Boise State gets a buye
Indiana in at Notre Dame. But we're going to be
talking about this, and I think we had to go
through this process for one year. Now I think they're
(03:32):
going to tweak what you have to do where the
seedings are first round by this is where you just say, Okay,
let's see how this plays out. Let's see where some
of the sensitive points are that we can correct. And
I still maintain if you're going to do twelve teams,
you win your conference, you get in. But that doesn't
(03:55):
mean that you get a first round by. Boise State,
shouldn't get a first round by Arizona State, shouldn't get
a first round by. I think it should be win
your conference. Now we start to seed this. That's what
happens with the basketball tournament. You're not guaranteed a number
one seed because you win the ACC or the SEC.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
And I think that's what they need to do.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Is Boise State, I'm glad they're in, Arizona State, I'm
glad they're in. But then after that, I think you
got to be fair to strength of schedule, and that's
where I think that if you go with rankings, then
I think you get a truer sense of how good
teams are what they did during the course of a year.
And if you had two losses, maybe three, what was
(04:42):
your strength of schedule? This is what I worry about.
And you already have athletic directors talking about this. Well,
we're going to really look at you out of conference
scheduling because there is there's no reason to do something
out of conference and run the risk of losing. If
you lose more than two games, you're not getting in
or it's really going to be difficult. Clemson didn't play anybody.
(05:06):
Clemson won the ACC that's all you.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Have to do.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Arizona State, just win your conference, Boise State when you're in.
But then after that, I think you need to have
reseeding or seating. I can't be giving these schools at
first round by I don't think that's fair to the
other conferences and the strength of schedule that they may have.
You know, it's going to be tweaked, it's not perfect,
(05:31):
and maybe eventually we get to.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
The what are we doing? Why don't we just make
this a pro model?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
And there's going to be a certain number of schools
that are going to play, and there'll be schools maybe
get relegated, whatever you want to do with it.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
We're heading that way. It's almost like when we had.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
One versus two and then we said, how about two
more teams?
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Is that a lot?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
And then all of a sudden, you know, we had
co National Champs a long long time ago. I mean,
can you imagine if we had co National Champs now, hey,
Georgia Tech and Colorado or co National Champs?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Huh? But we had that.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
There's so much more attached to this, so many more people,
so much more money attached to this. And that's why
I think they'll get around to tweaking this a little
bit more, and next year you'll probably have something along
the lines of what I've been talking about. I have
somebody who is close to the committee, and they have
told me that this, of course is a topic of
(06:32):
conversation whether it gets enacted next year, because I was told, hey,
fourteen maybe next year, but probably going to be the
following season where you'll have fourteen schools instead of twelve.
Let's see how this plays out. It looks fun, it
sounds fun. Would I have liked Alabama in South Bend? Yes,
(06:53):
I would have. That would have been great. Tennessee. I
love that against Ohio State. I mean, there's matchups where
you go all right, like Clemson's in, you know, and
you get Texas, but there's going It almost feels like
Oregon would have been better off losing the Big Ten
title game.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I didn't think that they treated Oregon fairly there. And
Penn State they look pretty good. They look pretty good.
That's the first time where I go, Okay, competitive, neutral field,
and maybe they will be a tough out. But I
think the first round by bothers people probably more than
anything else involved in this because you're looking at Boise
(07:33):
State in Arizona State and you're going, really yeah, but
that's the system this year, all right? Eight seven seven

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the
app and our radio affiliates around the country as well.
Poll question Seaton, what are you thinking about today?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Well, we'll probably start with who had the best weekend?
Who had the worst weekend? It's one of our favorites
on Monday. Okay, you're gonna start positive, yeah, okay, okay,
how about Pooka Nakua. He had a great weekend.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
He just he's different, like they're receivers that are fast.
They're ones that are quick. He just is tough to
bring down. That catchy at on the sideline was unbelievable. Yeah,
it's almost when you watch and you're going and you know,
Cooper Cup has been unbelievable. But Pooka Nakua, that's the guy.
(08:30):
He's the guy, and you watch him and you go,
he's not fast, He's just physical and all of a sudden,
you know, you're pulling in twelve catches all of a sudden,
you know. I mean, Buffalo was back and forth with
this and they realized, hey, do we have any defense here,
because that's what the Rams have offense. They have a
(08:52):
whole lot of offense. But I loved what I saw
with Josh Allen. I mean, when you throw for three
and you run for three, that's never been done before
and no sacks. Here is Sean McVay, the Rams coach,
talking about the greatness of Josh Allen.
Speaker 7 (09:09):
That's an excellent team. I mean, do you see Josh
Allen is an alien. Some of the stuff that he
can do and the things that he can create. We
knew he was capable of that. He's shown that. It's
why he is, you know, as well respected and regarded
in this league as he is. It's all deserved and earned.
But our guys found a way to just make enough
plays to be able to come out on top.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Yeah they did. It was fun. I was back and forth,
really enjoyed that. All right. So you have Pooka Nakua
who else you.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
And you know what else too? With Pooka. He he's
been hurt a lot this year, but he's clearly a
real deal or like a real dealer, you know, in
that they don't the whole Well, you get a little
bit of tape on this guy, you figure out how
to apply. Nobody's figured that out yet, it's true, you know.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
How about you know who had a pretty good weekend,
believe it or not. What about Aaron.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Rodd Okay, I'm listening.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
He actually he did a couple of things that you
were like, hey, there we go.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
You mean the things he's supposed to do. Well, Yes,
he threw for three hundred yards okay.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
And they lost.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
They did, They did lose.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
But it's a close game.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
This is why you have Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 6 (10:26):
You can't blame this one on him. That feels like
a win. You can't blame this on Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Is he is he blaming everybody else? It's like, you can't,
you can't blame me.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Uh, you know who had a good weekend and he
lost and he lost the previous week and he lost
the previous week. Bryce Young, Oh yeah right. Seaton was saying, Carolina,
you gotta feel pretty good about that. Bryce, you looks comfortable.
(11:02):
They almost knock off the Chiefs, They almost knocked off
the Eagles, and it felt like they had a chance.
And that's a win in my book, especially where they've
been Dave.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
Can Alis, you're the head coach there, You're like, hey,
it started out abysmal. It started out worse than we
could have possibly imagined. But it's turned around. Your competitive
You have a good weekend, a competitive weekend against a
clear Super Bowl contender.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Yeah that works.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, and then you did it against the Chiefs where
you had a chance.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (11:32):
Yes, Pauline, I'll throw in Rock Purty twenty of twenty five,
three twenty five, two touchdowns, almost a perfect quarterback rating.
They smoke the Bears. He's looking at a contract in
this offseason.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I know there, I thought, maybe you do that Baker
Mayfield kind of contract. Ye and the insiders I and
Rappaport was saying, no, no, full boat, that they're looking
at a full boat, full boat for rock Purdy. How
about Sam Darnold? Sam Donald five touchdown passes. All he
(12:04):
does is when I like how the Vikings, everybody's going.
Vikings are geniuses. They got Sam Donald brilliant. Hey, they
you're not getting credit for Sam Donald, you're not.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
You drafted JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Kirk d Cousins got rid of him, and Sam Donald
was going to be a backup. Now he's played well,
But I don't know if I can go man that organization.
They're two steps ahead of everybody else. I don't think
you were planning on this. But Sam Donald, he's he's
been great at times, he's been great. And Kirk d Cousins.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Thats not he's not.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
And you know I do like Kirk d Cousins, but
this isn't personal when I say they should bench him.
I would like to see Michael Pennix Junior, the third
get a chance go in there. He can't be worse,
it'd be almost impossible to be worse. And I would
put him in there and maybe you see something and
(13:10):
let's say he struggles. Okay, at least he got a
taste this year to get ready for next year.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Yes. Boy.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
A month ago, Kirk Cousins had just finished winning five
of six games. His last two games were on national
TV to end October. They beat Tampa and beat Dallas.
He had four touchdowns and then three touchdowns the next week,
no picks. In the last four weeks, he's thrown eight
interceptions and no touchdowns. He undid it in a month.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
The Falcons are the first team in NFL history to
have a four game span where they didn't have a
passing touchdown. They threw over at least eight interceptions while
allowing at least eight passing touchdowns and getting zero interceptions.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
Day Stana Day.
Speaker 9 (14:01):
Day. This is the style of the Day.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Brought to you bon Panini America. By the way, congratulations
to the Jets. They're officially eliminated and they have broken
a tie with the Buffalo Sabers for the longest active
playoff drought across all four major sports leagues. I'm watching,
(14:32):
I'm going and a friend of mine is a Dolphin fan.
He goes, we can't lose to the Jets. I said,
you're not, He goes, How can you say that? I said,
You're not going to lose to the Jets. I've seen
this movie. I know how this plays out.
Speaker 9 (14:47):
I know.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
All right, we'll take a break. We'll settle on a
pull question. Phone calls always welcome, especially on Monday, best
and worst of the weekend. We're back after this and
the Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the n Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to
listen live big news overnight. It's Juan Soto for a
mere seven hundred and sixty five million dollars going to
the Mets Show. Heyo Tani seven hundred million, Mike Trout
(15:19):
four hundred and twenty six and a half, Mookie Bets
three sixty five, Aaron Judge three sixty, Manny Machado three
point fifty, Francisco Lindor three forty one, Fernando tat Tis
three forty, Bryce herpber Is three hundred and thirty. Kids
the heck with school, go out and play baseball. Remember
(15:40):
when I was told by a former general manager, said,
you know, Sodo is going to get more money than.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Show of Tony.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
And I remember having Jeff passing on who does a
wonderful job, and he goes, no, he's not going to
make more. I said, are you kidding? I mean, it
sounds like he's going to get seven hundred million dollars.
And then all of a sudden, I'm watching the price
and it continues to go up, and then all of
a sudden, it's.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Like how many years?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Like fifteen years, fifteen years for seven hundred and sixty
five million. If I said you can have show hey
Otani right now, or you can have one soda, is
it even a debate?
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Now?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Sodo is twenty six. I think he's four years younger
than Otani. And I know I'd sound like the old
school guy. I would think for that amount of money,
you got somebody that you were going to go out
of your way. You're gonna want to watch them, You're
gonna want to go see them.
Speaker 9 (16:34):
Now.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
If I'm a Mets fan, I don't care. Although you
are going to pick up some of the tab here
with Steve Cohen, he's not taken on all of this.
I'm gonna guess ticket prices, concessions everything is going to
go up a little bit. But if you're a Mets fan,
you're like, yeah, we'll take him. Now I need some pitching.
But you got one Sodo and he's a guy that
(16:56):
you can plug in forty home runs, one hundred and
twenty rvis and you know you'll play decent defense. You're
not bringing you in for that. I mean, he's really
one dimensionally, just a great hitter. But with Otani, I
get the Unicorn. I get somebody who's going to be
pitching next year, also hitting. We saw what he did
when he went fifty to fifty, and I get an
(17:17):
entire market. I get worldwide with him, certainly with the
Japanese market, and I think they were averaging fifteen million
people watching the World Series.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Like I get that.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I get somebody and by all accounts, seems likable, presentable,
and you're playing with the Dodgers. You're in Los Angeles.
But Juan Soto, when's the last time you went juc
Soto last night? And I don't know if that matters,
but it does to me. If my owner is paying
(17:52):
that kind of money, what are we getting? And I
don't know what you're getting other than he's been on
what three teams now this to be his fourth team.
But he's got a fifteen year deal for seven hundred
and sixty five million dollars and it's not deferred. He
didn't do the Otani bargain stuff. Not Scott Morris. We'd
(18:14):
like our money now, please, Okay, yes, Paul.
Speaker 8 (18:17):
Can you make the case though that Steve Cohen, the
Mets owner, is the perfect owner to have. He doesn't
care about the finances. It appears he's spending his own money,
almost maybe too much. Two years ago, remember he had
that big lineup and it didn't work out, but he tried, but.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
He said he wasn't going to do that again.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
And then it felt like they went back to just
being a regular baseball team. And then they played well
this year, and then all of a sudden, it's like,
we played really well, let's go back and start spending again.
Billionaires don't have patience. And I'm sure he's like, well,
I usually buy my way out of things. All right,
here's a big ticket item and you got him one
(18:54):
soda fifteen years. I may not be alive when this contract.
Speaker 8 (19:03):
Whole question possible pocus which ends first me or what's career.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Well, revisit that.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
I don't think he'll spend his entire career with the
Matts just saying I've been around a long time. No, No,
that's a lot, that's an eternity.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
That's fifteen years. What could go wrong?
Speaker 2 (19:27):
And then you have to go, well, how many how
many World Series do they have to win? Well, they
have to win one, just one. You win one, Mets
fans will be like, all right, you know what, we
can ride that one for a little while, and you
take him away from the Yankees. I understand that part
of the process as well. But you're still going against
the Dodgers in the National League, and the Dodgers won't stop.
(19:51):
They will continue to spend. Yes, Pauline, you can.
Speaker 8 (19:54):
Almost make the case that even if Otani, let's say hypothetically,
he doesn't pitch again, or doesn't pitch lot, his hitting
is so it's improving as he gets to twenty nine
thirty fifty four homers, three ten and all the steels
like just as a hitter, he's a better hitter than Sodo.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Yeah, I mean, he's the unicorn. There's no one like him.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
That's why whatever they were going to pay he was
probably going to be worth it and in that market,
and they just won the World Series.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Now he gets to pitch, even if he.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Doesn't pitch well, or maybe he doesn't pitch after this year,
maybe they decide to just make him a hitter. I'd
rather have him as a hitter than I would want
Soto as a hitter. And Otani also gives you fifty
stolen bases. He's going to hit, you know, forty five
home runs. But the Mets made the big splash. I
(20:46):
don't think anybody's surprised here. I know that the Red
Sox were involved. The Red Sox have some real good prospects,
they're just not ready to win now. I thought that
maybe the Giants or the Blue Jays would get involved
in this, And a lot of times what happens with
Scott Boris is you know, you're trying to drum up interest,
(21:06):
and then sometimes you'll mention a team even though that
team's probably not going to be in it. Dodgers, I
don't know how competitive their offer was, but as I said,
when this happened, he'd go to the highest bidder. That's
exactly what happened. Alrighty, some phone calls here and let's
do our one poll question, who had the best weekend?
Any other names we want to put in because right now,
(21:29):
Bryce Young, Sam Darnold, Yes, Paulie.
Speaker 8 (21:33):
Dabosweeney of Clemson. Considering how the season started, Sure, he
was irrelevance in September.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Oh, I know, and he collected receipts. He was like
everybody wrote us, all, yeah, we did, we did. When
you played somebody really good, we wrote you off.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
We did.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
You got through the ACC and you beat a good
SMU two, So you know, you can take the victory lap.
You can do your Mick Jagger, you know, peacock or
whatever that strutges that he has.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
Yes, yes, should I not put Wan Soto on that list?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I think he had a good weekend.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
I think he did. I mean, yeah, he just basically
became a billionaire.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Yeah yeah, after taxes though, I mean New York's expensive.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Yeah. What does Scott Morris? Does he get like, I
don't know if.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
It's five, it might be three these days.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Yeah, maybe like a realtor.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Well, it might be it gets to a certain level,
like you get five percent, that it goes four percent,
three percent. Maybe there's a escalating clauses there for him.
Speaker 10 (22:35):
Yes, Tom, I don't care how rich an owner is
in baseball. How do you justify that amount. It's not
like the quarterback of a football team. It's not like
a Michael Jordan where you're one of five players that
can one person can possibly carry a team to a championship.
So how do you add that up? Not to mention
what it's going to cost for what you were saying,
food and parking.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
He doesn't care. He wants to be a hero.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
He's probably never picked up a baseball bat in his life,
probably didn't get picked for a little league. You know,
he gets his chance to be a star. Like he's
a billionaire. There's a lot of billionaires, a lot of them.
But when you own a team, it's different. Then people
listen to what you have to say. Oh, he's the
owner of the Mets. Oh he's the owner of the Jaguars.
(23:22):
By the way, here comes God. That was the Titans Jacks.
That was tough. I would rather have just watched nothing
than watch that. I would rather have just sat quietly
and not watched. But I did watch because I was
(23:45):
fascinated with just how bad it was.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Yes, Marma, can you believe that used to be the
Thursday night game eight times a year, Titans Jaguars sixteen
to eleven score.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
And who knew that they played like five times a year.
It'd be like, you got to play again. Wait, we
just played them. I'm sorry you got to play again.
But if you go back, it was twenty four years ago,
Alex Rodriguez signed for two hundred and fifty million with
the Rangers.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
Also Scott Boris, by.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
The way, yes, indeed, sho Heyutani seven hundred million now seven.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Sixty five Wow.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
But it's not like salaries are escalating because in football,
the quarterback it's escalating. Wide receivers escalating like they all
continue to go up. This is this is just an aberration.
It's like, okay, yad Otani and you add one soda,
who is the next player?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Where you go? Did you hear what he signed for?
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Like Paul's schemes is not going to sign for five
hundred million dollars, certainly not with the Pirates.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Yes, heton how.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Many football players can you add up into this one
contract for one sodo?
Speaker 3 (24:53):
So what can I get for Juan Soto in the NFL? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (24:56):
Oh okay, I'm pretty sure you can get the top
five wide receivers in the NFL. Still wouldn't add up
to that one contract. Okay, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Do you take Mahomes even though he costs that that's
five hundred million of the seven sixty five Or do
I go, no, we're gonna take you know, bargain basement
here in certain categories, here you could get Justin Jefferson,
you get TJ want, you get Saquon Barkley, who else?
(25:37):
Travis Kelcey, then I get Taylor Swift.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
And this, But or you could get a guy who's
going to bat four times a day.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Yeah, yes, and I can choose not to pitch.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
To him, right and then so justins walking around?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Yeah yeah, Like I just go, hey, we're not throwing
to you today, Okay, yes, mart.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Seven out of those ten times he's gonna strikeout.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Seven hundred and sixty five million dollars and be a
Hall of Famer.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Yeah, yes, hery couple of phone A couple of phone
calls in here. John in Kentucky leads us off best
and worst of the weekend, John.
Speaker 11 (26:14):
Dan and Dan Eds, Good morning. I just wanted to
share one my best of the weekend Okay, my son
played high school football here in Kentucky for this tiny
private school called Sayer where the Sayer Spartans and our
head coach is Chad Pennington. That Chad Pennington and Chad
we started our program seven years ago from scratch and Dan,
(26:40):
we capped off a perfect fifteen to o season this
weekend by winning the class won a state title in Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
No, congratulations, congratulations.
Speaker 8 (26:52):
I'm looking it up right now that Sayer High School
in Kentucky didn't even have a football program from seventy
seven to twenty seventeen.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Then Chad Pennictin show up, Rvin.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
The real question is high school? They play fifteen games
of high school football?
Speaker 9 (27:04):
Now?
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Yeah? Wow, it's a lot. Huh. Griffin in Cincinnati, Hi Griff,
welcome back, Hey Dan.
Speaker 12 (27:11):
I was hoping to get some career advice from you today. Actually,
I have a couple of I have a couple of
job offers to get into TV reporting. Now my background
is in radio, but some of these markets are going
to give me a chance to do a little reporting.
But for the sake of saving some time, and since
you don't know me personally, I just wanted to ask
you what's some good advice that you would give your
(27:32):
students at full sale about accepting their first jobs in
the market and potentially weighing a couple of offers about
making the right decisions.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Then well, get on the air, and if you're covering
a professional team or college team, just make sure you're
getting into situation that you enjoy going to work. I
get to go to work. I don't have to go
to work. That's the ultimate goal, certainly in that business.
You get to go to work. And what do you
do when you go? And is there an ability to
(28:02):
move up? If you're reporting, you get a chance to
be on TV? Can you do weekends? Can you like
how much airtime are you going to get? And do
you like the place you're going to work for. I
was fortunate in the beginning stages of ESPN. I loved
going to work. Certainly the first fifteen years. I was
very lucky. Find a place you respect the people there,
(28:27):
There's an ability to move up the ladder a little
bit there. And if you can stay locally and you
don't have to go A lot of my students have
to go to really small markets around the country to
start out. But if you're able to stay there, have fun,
and you like who you're working for. Those are things
that I would check the box on.
Speaker 11 (28:49):
Well, that would be great.
Speaker 12 (28:50):
Yeah, I'm definitely going to have to move around to
either Michigan and become a uper or I'm on the
way to West Virginia right now to interview them and
they may ask me some questions to get into some stuff.
So two different situations. How about working for a larger
company where it is easier to move up or for
a family owned company where they only own one station.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I think it's gonna come down to your gut feeling, though, Griffin,
And thanks for the phone call and good luck with that. Yeah,
you're just you're gonna get into situations where once you
get in, you're gonna go Okay.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
I like this. I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
You may not like the city, you may not like
the teams you're covering or co work. I mean there's
a lot of drama that goes along with this. It's
not just getting a job, but find the place that
wants you there and that you feel like I can
stay here for a little while. Uh will in North Carolina?
Speaker 3 (29:43):
I will? What's on your mind?
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Dan?
Speaker 13 (29:46):
I got best of the weekend is a shout out
to my group threat in the locker room going seven
and not on spread Picks on Conference Championship Saturday. And
then I did want to possibly biggest head scratching moment
in college football this year. Wanted to hear your opinion
on it. Charles Tough winning the Sunbell, going ten and three,
(30:07):
being a member of the Nick Saving coach and Tree
and then deciding to accept a job offer at Southern Miss,
one of the lowliest programs in the country and one
of the poorest athletic departments. Just want to hear you
speculate a little bit on why he might have made
that decision.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
I don't know enough about it, will I don't. I'd
love to be able to wax poetic on Southern Miss
football and why somebody would want to go there, But
I don't know. Barry and Santa fe oh look who
look who picked up the phone to call and talk
about his mets.
Speaker 14 (30:40):
Say Barry, good morning fellow, Then good morning jack bro,
and what a beautiful day it is. And that's how
one so you know, and everybody else says whining and crying,
and it's all of a sudden fiscally responsible and doesn't
want to pay the money, and especially dopey Yankee fans
(31:03):
who actually thought he would stay for the pinstripe pride
and Yankee tradition.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
A congratulations, Barry, Thanks thanks for thanks for calling in.
Now go get a title. The fiscal responsibility like, I'm
so past that. I'm just thinking, does it make sense
for your team to get one guy at that price?
(31:32):
Or could I get four or five guys that are
really good or good instead? Because the last I looked,
you're probably gonna need some pitching, Probably gonna need a
little bit of pitching.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Just Soto pitch? Can we check it? Check it?
Speaker 2 (31:51):
They're probably saying Otani pitches for seven hundred million.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Is there any chance that you could pitch?
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Any chance? Every fifth day? All right, we'll take a break.
Play the day up next.

Speaker 6 (33:15):
Yeah, we got two of them up there right now.
The Vikings are geniuses or Lucky right now, Lucky is
sixty three percent of that vote.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Yeah, I know that they're going, Hey, that's a smart franchise.
Look at what they did. You know they got Sam Donold. Well,
they weren't planning on playing Sam Donald, or if they did,
it was going to be at the beginning of the year.
Kevin O'Connell has done a wonderful job with Sam Darnald.
I'm gonna give him a lot of credit and he
deserves credit for that. They do have They have the
(33:49):
best wide receiver in football, you start there, and Jordan
Addison's pretty good as well. They are the fifth set
of teammates in the Super Bowl era to have at
least one hundred three already receiving yards and at least
two touchdowns. So they got a good defense. And as
long as Sam is not going to throwing interceptions, you
(34:10):
have those receivers and Justin Jefferson makes it look easy.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
He does.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
First player in NFL history was seven thousand receiving yards
in the first five seasons. He's twenty six years of age.
So you do have a good team playing in a
really tough division, and I think we begrudgingly give them credit.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
I probably do.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
I keep waiting, Like I like Sam Darnold from his
USC days. He was always very good, you know, to
the show and coming on. But you know, he disappeared,
got kind of kicked to the curb. Backup quarterback, got
his chance. Now here's the situation. JJ McCarthy will be
back next year, we assume he'll be healthy. Does he
(34:57):
get a chance to start? Do you bring Sam Donald back?
He's a free agent, a true free agent. What is
Sam Darnald going to cost you? Because you do need
an insurance policy of knowing if JJ McCarthy can play.
They took him too high in the draft to not
play him. But can I say to Sam Darnald, how
(35:19):
about a two year deal kind of like what the
Packers did with Jordan Love, because he's going to probably say,
I want to test the open market, and I don't
know what that market is because what is Sam twenty seven?
I mean, that's amazing. I've been around a long time.
He's twenty seven and should be coming into the prime
(35:41):
of his career. Can he have a Baker may Is
he having a Baker Mayfield kind of resurgence? Would he
take a Baker Mayfield type deal? Because you still have
that rookie deal with JJ McCarthy, but you want to
spread that money around to make sure that you're keeping players.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (35:57):
See, it almost feels like for another team to sign
Sam Donald, it's like, okay, now do it again and
then we'll sign you Vikings. I totally understand if they
kept them, but for anybody else, if he's looking to
go outside of that at a big deal, man, it
feels like, all right, that was good, that was good.
Let's see you do it again and then we'll give
you a big money.
Speaker 9 (36:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
I just don't know what kind of contract you're going
to give him that he would go because they already
drafted the guy that they want to start. I don't
think you can go. On second thought, we want Sam
Donald to be our started. I mean you can, you
definitely can. Yeah, yeah, I mean Jordan loves sat for
a while, but I mean that's are ready to win now, team.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
I'd have to say to Sam how badly do you
want to stay?
Speaker 6 (36:51):
And I don't know that. Do you feel like handing
the quarterback roll over to JJ McCarthy is like, and
now we're ready to win?
Speaker 9 (36:57):
No?
Speaker 6 (36:58):
Probably not. That's kicking that down another two or three years. Yes,
that you don't have that kind of time.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Yeah, I'm pulling it.
Speaker 8 (37:03):
Feels like the Vikings went from a bad quarterback situation
to start the season to a great one to an
awkward one because if you make the playoffs with Sam Darnold,
the pressure from the fan base to keep him. They
have no loyalty to JAJ McCarthy. I think the pressure
of ticket. Like you said, Baker Mayfield got three years
for one hundred million, fifty million guaranteed that could be
a win for the Vikings.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Weirdly, uh gush in la high gus, what's on your
mind today?
Speaker 5 (37:32):
Good morning, mister Patrick. Hope and the boys had a
great weekend. Hey, I congratulations to my newly found cousin
Lonsto on that contract. Nothing like giving a career to
eighty batter seven hundred and sixty five million. That's great
news for the Mets fans. I'm proud of you, guys.
Best of the weekend. I got my little football prayer's answered. Selfishly,
(37:53):
the Steelers win and the Eagles win. Reason why I'm
going for the Eagles is because I'm taking a little
trip out east this week and I was able to
get my hands on a few tickets to the Steelers
Eagles game and I'm going to be in the house
at Lincoln Financial on Sunday, And I mean, what better
way I'm I'm selfishly gonna think that that's gonna be
the game of the weekend as compared to the Bills
(38:14):
and the Lions. Oh, I spend one of my first
time at Lincoln Financial. Hopefully Eagles fans will not rid
me limb from limb at that walk in with my
terrible towel. So that's it.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Wait, wait, what are you wearing? What am I wearing
when you, oh man, when you go to the game, like.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
You know, I gotta wear jersey. I'm wearing my Troy
Paula Malu home black jersey.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
No, no, I gus, I wouldn't do it.
Speaker 5 (38:41):
So what am I supposed to wear this?
Speaker 2 (38:43):
I just a just a winter jacket. Yeah, like we
used to do. Yeah. I'm just saying, just saying, you're
a big guy. I would say. Now, Steeler fans, they travel.
But depending if you're seated with Steeler fans, great, and
(39:04):
you come in and leave with Steeler fans.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
Great, and just be careful. All right. Thank you guys,
very weird. Thank you guys. Mark in Kentucky, Hi, Mark,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 9 (39:21):
Hey? Dan? I was calling in with the best of
the weekend that is solely attributable to this show.
Speaker 5 (39:26):
The Monday before.
Speaker 9 (39:27):
Thanksgiving, you and Seaton were talking about Steven Wilson Junior.
I had never heard of him. I looked him up
was instantly hooked. I saw he was playing a show
here in Louisville this past Friday night. On the resale
value the tickets were in the hundreds of dollars. I
still bought two from me and my brother. We show up,
there's like kids in line and in the show. And
then his family had driven down from Seymour and he
(39:50):
had a cordon off section for him right up right
by the stage, and he got a little emotional when
he introduced a father's son.
Speaker 5 (39:56):
It was amazing.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Good.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Yeah, he's going to come by the studio and we're
gonna talk to Steven Wilson Jr. I almost feel like
I'd be doing a disservice to this audience to not
introduce you to Steven Wilson Junior. I feel that strongly
about him. When I told Satan about this song, it's
called I Am a Song, Seatan said he played it
five times in a row.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Easy.
Speaker 6 (40:20):
Yeah, it's one of the best songs I've ever heard
in my life.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
So he'll be joining us. We'll let you know when.
But he's quite a singer. Steven Wilson Junior coming up.
We'll talk a little bit more about the college football playoffs.
Is there a good first round match up here? And
does Alabama have a legitimate beef or of your phone
calls on a best and Worst Monday Coming up
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

Speaker 2 (00:04):

Best game of the weekend certainly back and forth and
no turnovers. It was just fun. That was just sort
of backyard football. Whoever has the ball last was going
(01:08):
to win. The Vikings with Sam Darnold still look impressive,
Eagles survive, Steelers look good, Buccaneers still alive, the Niners
still alive. Bengals at the Cowboys. Cowboys are getting five
and a half in Dallas, which is kind of surprising.
All Right, we'll talk about the college football playoffs. The
(01:30):
bookmakers don't think these are going to be competitive games
this according to DraftKings this morning, Indiana against Notre Dame.
At Notre Dame, Indiana is getting seven and a half,
SMU is getting nine at Penn State, Clemson getting eleven
at Texas, and then Tennessee getting seven and a half
against Ohio State.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
By the way, odds.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
To win the national title, we have co favorites to
win the national title. Oregon and Texas are your co
favorites this morning, followed by Georgia, Ohio State, and then
Penn State. If I would have said to you in September, hey,
Arizona State's going to be in. Clemson's going to be
(02:13):
in SMU is going to be in Boise State's going
to be in. Indiana's going to be in. You'd go
wait basketball, no football because Clemson got roughed up early.
Remember that Georgia roughed them up and then we moved
on from Clemson. Well, all you have to do is
win your conference. I mean, I don't know if Clemson's
any good, but they won their conference, so they're in.
(02:36):
SMU survived, and I say survived so they could get
in because they scored seventeen points in the fourth quarter.
If they do not score those seventeen, if they score seven,
I don't think they're in the playoffs, and I will
sit corrected. I didn't think the committee was going to
leave Alabama out, and I'm not alone in that, but
it was an interesting conversation they had to have with
(03:00):
Alabama didn't get in. Why didn't they get in? They
talk about strength to schedule. Well, when you get embarrassed,
you got embarrassed against Vandy, you got embarrassed against Oklahoma.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Just win.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
That's what this is all about. Arizona State, I think
was picked for last in the Big Twelve. They're good team.
They roughed up Iowa State, Boise State gets a buye
Indiana in at Notre Dame. But we're going to be
talking about this, and I think we had to go
through this process for one year. Now I think they're
(03:32):
going to tweak what you have to do where the
seedings are first round by this is where you just say, Okay,
let's see how this plays out. Let's see where some
of the sensitive points are that we can correct. And
I still maintain if you're going to do twelve teams,
you win your conference, you get in. But that doesn't
(03:55):
mean that you get a first round by. Boise State,
shouldn't get a first round by Arizona State, shouldn't get
a first round by. I think it should be win
your conference. Now we start to seed this. That's what
happens with the basketball tournament. You're not guaranteed a number
one seed because you win the ACC or the SEC.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
And I think that's what they need to do.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Is Boise State, I'm glad they're in, Arizona State, I'm
glad they're in. But then after that, I think you
got to be fair to strength of schedule, and that's
where I think that if you go with rankings, then
I think you get a truer sense of how good
teams are what they did during the course of a year.
And if you had two losses, maybe three, what was
(04:42):
your strength of schedule? This is what I worry about.
And you already have athletic directors talking about this. Well,
we're going to really look at you out of conference
scheduling because there is there's no reason to do something
out of conference and run the risk of losing. If
you lose more than two games, you're not getting in
or it's really going to be difficult. Clemson didn't play anybody.
(05:06):
Clemson won the ACC that's all you.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Have to do.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Arizona State, just win your conference, Boise State when you're in.
But then after that, I think you need to have
reseeding or seating. I can't be giving these schools at
first round by I don't think that's fair to the
other conferences and the strength of schedule that they may have.
You know, it's going to be tweaked, it's not perfect,
(05:31):
and maybe eventually we get to.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
The what are we doing? Why don't we just make
this a pro model?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
And there's going to be a certain number of schools
that are going to play, and there'll be schools maybe
get relegated, whatever you want to do with it.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
We're heading that way. It's almost like when we had.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
One versus two and then we said, how about two
more teams?
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Is that a lot?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
And then all of a sudden, you know, we had
co National Champs a long long time ago. I mean,
can you imagine if we had co National Champs now, hey,
Georgia Tech and Colorado or co National Champs?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Huh? But we had that.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
There's so much more attached to this, so many more people,
so much more money attached to this. And that's why
I think they'll get around to tweaking this a little
bit more, and next year you'll probably have something along
the lines of what I've been talking about. I have
somebody who is close to the committee, and they have
told me that this, of course is a topic of
(06:32):
conversation whether it gets enacted next year, because I was told, hey,
fourteen maybe next year, but probably going to be the
following season where you'll have fourteen schools instead of twelve.
Let's see how this plays out. It looks fun, it
sounds fun. Would I have liked Alabama in South Bend? Yes,
(06:53):
I would have. That would have been great. Tennessee. I
love that against Ohio State. I mean, there's matchups where
you go all right, like Clemson's in, you know, and
you get Texas, but there's going It almost feels like
Oregon would have been better off losing the Big Ten
title game.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I didn't think that they treated Oregon fairly there. And
Penn State they look pretty good. They look pretty good.
That's the first time where I go, Okay, competitive, neutral field,
and maybe they will be a tough out. But I
think the first round by bothers people probably more than
anything else involved in this because you're looking at Boise
(07:33):
State in Arizona State and you're going, really yeah, but
that's the system this year, all right? Eight seven seven

Good morning.

If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the
app and our radio affiliates around the country as well.
Poll question Seaton, what are you thinking about today?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Well, we'll probably start with who had the best weekend?
Who had the worst weekend? It's one of our favorites
on Monday. Okay, you're gonna start positive, yeah, okay, okay,
how about Pooka Nakua. He had a great weekend.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
He just he's different, like they're receivers that are fast.
They're ones that are quick. He just is tough to
bring down. That catchy at on the sideline was unbelievable. Yeah,
it's almost when you watch and you're going and you know,
Cooper Cup has been unbelievable. But Pooka Nakua, that's the guy.
(08:30):
He's the guy, and you watch him and you go,
he's not fast, He's just physical and all of a sudden,
you know, you're pulling in twelve catches all of a sudden,
you know. I mean, Buffalo was back and forth with
this and they realized, hey, do we have any defense here,
because that's what the Rams have offense. They have a
(08:52):
whole lot of offense. But I loved what I saw
with Josh Allen. I mean, when you throw for three
and you run for three, that's never been done before
and no sacks. Here is Sean McVay, the Rams coach,
talking about the greatness of Josh Allen.
Speaker 7 (09:09):
That's an excellent team. I mean, do you see Josh
Allen is an alien. Some of the stuff that he
can do and the things that he can create. We
knew he was capable of that. He's shown that. It's
why he is, you know, as well respected and regarded
in this league as he is. It's all deserved and earned.
But our guys found a way to just make enough
plays to be able to come out on top.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Yeah they did. It was fun. I was back and forth,
really enjoyed that. All right. So you have Pooka Nakua
who else you.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
And you know what else too? With Pooka. He he's
been hurt a lot this year, but he's clearly a
real deal or like a real dealer, you know, in
that they don't the whole Well, you get a little
bit of tape on this guy, you figure out how
to apply. Nobody's figured that out yet, it's true, you know.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
How about you know who had a pretty good weekend,
believe it or not. What about Aaron.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Rodd Okay, I'm listening.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
He actually he did a couple of things that you
were like, hey, there we go.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
You mean the things he's supposed to do. Well, Yes,
he threw for three hundred yards okay.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
And they lost.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
They did, They did lose.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
But it's a close game.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
This is why you have Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 6 (10:26):
You can't blame this one on him. That feels like
a win. You can't blame this on Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Is he is he blaming everybody else? It's like, you can't,
you can't blame me.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Uh, you know who had a good weekend and he
lost and he lost the previous week and he lost
the previous week. Bryce Young, Oh yeah right. Seaton was saying, Carolina,
you gotta feel pretty good about that. Bryce, you looks comfortable.
(11:02):
They almost knock off the Chiefs, They almost knocked off
the Eagles, and it felt like they had a chance.
And that's a win in my book, especially where they've
been Dave.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
Can Alis, you're the head coach there, You're like, hey,
it started out abysmal. It started out worse than we
could have possibly imagined. But it's turned around. Your competitive
You have a good weekend, a competitive weekend against a
clear Super Bowl contender.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Yeah that works.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, and then you did it against the Chiefs where
you had a chance.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (11:32):
Yes, Pauline, I'll throw in Rock Purty twenty of twenty five,
three twenty five, two touchdowns, almost a perfect quarterback rating.
They smoke the Bears. He's looking at a contract in
this offseason.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I know there, I thought, maybe you do that Baker
Mayfield kind of contract. Ye and the insiders I and
Rappaport was saying, no, no, full boat, that they're looking
at a full boat, full boat for rock Purdy. How
about Sam Darnold? Sam Donald five touchdown passes. All he
(12:04):
does is when I like how the Vikings, everybody's going.
Vikings are geniuses. They got Sam Donald brilliant. Hey, they
you're not getting credit for Sam Donald, you're not.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
You drafted JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Kirk d Cousins got rid of him, and Sam Donald
was going to be a backup. Now he's played well,
But I don't know if I can go man that organization.
They're two steps ahead of everybody else. I don't think
you were planning on this. But Sam Donald, he's he's
been great at times, he's been great. And Kirk d Cousins.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Thats not he's not.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
And you know I do like Kirk d Cousins, but
this isn't personal when I say they should bench him.
I would like to see Michael Pennix Junior, the third
get a chance go in there. He can't be worse,
it'd be almost impossible to be worse. And I would
put him in there and maybe you see something and
(13:10):
let's say he struggles. Okay, at least he got a
taste this year to get ready for next year.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Yes. Boy.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
A month ago, Kirk Cousins had just finished winning five
of six games. His last two games were on national
TV to end October. They beat Tampa and beat Dallas.
He had four touchdowns and then three touchdowns the next week,
no picks. In the last four weeks, he's thrown eight
interceptions and no touchdowns. He undid it in a month.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
The Falcons are the first team in NFL history to
have a four game span where they didn't have a
passing touchdown. They threw over at least eight interceptions while
allowing at least eight passing touchdowns and getting zero interceptions.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
Day Stana Day.
Speaker 9 (14:01):
Day. This is the style of the Day.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Brought to you bon Panini America. By the way, congratulations
to the Jets. They're officially eliminated and they have broken
a tie with the Buffalo Sabers for the longest active
playoff drought across all four major sports leagues. I'm watching,
(14:32):
I'm going and a friend of mine is a Dolphin fan.
He goes, we can't lose to the Jets. I said,
you're not, He goes, How can you say that? I said,
You're not going to lose to the Jets. I've seen
this movie. I know how this plays out.
Speaker 9 (14:47):
I know.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
All right, we'll take a break. We'll settle on a
pull question. Phone calls always welcome, especially on Monday, best
and worst of the weekend. We're back after this and
the Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the n Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to
listen live big news overnight. It's Juan Soto for a
mere seven hundred and sixty five million dollars going to
the Mets Show. Heyo Tani seven hundred million, Mike Trout
(15:19):
four hundred and twenty six and a half, Mookie Bets
three sixty five, Aaron Judge three sixty, Manny Machado three
point fifty, Francisco Lindor three forty one, Fernando tat Tis
three forty, Bryce herpber Is three hundred and thirty. Kids
the heck with school, go out and play baseball. Remember
(15:40):
when I was told by a former general manager, said,
you know, Sodo is going to get more money than.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Show of Tony.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
And I remember having Jeff passing on who does a
wonderful job, and he goes, no, he's not going to
make more. I said, are you kidding? I mean, it
sounds like he's going to get seven hundred million dollars.
And then all of a sudden, I'm watching the price
and it continues to go up, and then all of
a sudden, it's.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Like how many years?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Like fifteen years, fifteen years for seven hundred and sixty
five million. If I said you can have show hey
Otani right now, or you can have one soda, is
it even a debate?
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Now?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Sodo is twenty six. I think he's four years younger
than Otani. And I know I'd sound like the old
school guy. I would think for that amount of money,
you got somebody that you were going to go out
of your way. You're gonna want to watch them, You're
gonna want to go see them.
Speaker 9 (16:34):
Now.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
If I'm a Mets fan, I don't care. Although you
are going to pick up some of the tab here
with Steve Cohen, he's not taken on all of this.
I'm gonna guess ticket prices, concessions everything is going to
go up a little bit. But if you're a Mets fan,
you're like, yeah, we'll take him. Now I need some pitching.
But you got one Sodo and he's a guy that
(16:56):
you can plug in forty home runs, one hundred and
twenty rvis and you know you'll play decent defense. You're
not bringing you in for that. I mean, he's really
one dimensionally, just a great hitter. But with Otani, I
get the Unicorn. I get somebody who's going to be
pitching next year, also hitting. We saw what he did
when he went fifty to fifty, and I get an
(17:17):
entire market. I get worldwide with him, certainly with the
Japanese market, and I think they were averaging fifteen million
people watching the World Series.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Like I get that.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I get somebody and by all accounts, seems likable, presentable,
and you're playing with the Dodgers. You're in Los Angeles.
But Juan Soto, when's the last time you went juc
Soto last night? And I don't know if that matters,
but it does to me. If my owner is paying
(17:52):
that kind of money, what are we getting? And I
don't know what you're getting other than he's been on
what three teams now this to be his fourth team.
But he's got a fifteen year deal for seven hundred
and sixty five million dollars and it's not deferred. He
didn't do the Otani bargain stuff. Not Scott Morris. We'd
(18:14):
like our money now, please, Okay, yes, Paul.
Speaker 8 (18:17):
Can you make the case though that Steve Cohen, the
Mets owner, is the perfect owner to have. He doesn't
care about the finances. It appears he's spending his own money,
almost maybe too much. Two years ago, remember he had
that big lineup and it didn't work out, but he tried, but.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
He said he wasn't going to do that again.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
And then it felt like they went back to just
being a regular baseball team. And then they played well
this year, and then all of a sudden, it's like,
we played really well, let's go back and start spending again.
Billionaires don't have patience. And I'm sure he's like, well,
I usually buy my way out of things. All right,
here's a big ticket item and you got him one
(18:54):
soda fifteen years. I may not be alive when this contract.
Speaker 8 (19:03):
Whole question possible pocus which ends first me or what's career.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Well, revisit that.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
I don't think he'll spend his entire career with the
Matts just saying I've been around a long time. No, No,
that's a lot, that's an eternity.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
That's fifteen years. What could go wrong?
Speaker 2 (19:27):
And then you have to go, well, how many how
many World Series do they have to win? Well, they
have to win one, just one. You win one, Mets
fans will be like, all right, you know what, we
can ride that one for a little while, and you
take him away from the Yankees. I understand that part
of the process as well. But you're still going against
the Dodgers in the National League, and the Dodgers won't stop.
(19:51):
They will continue to spend. Yes, Pauline, you can.
Speaker 8 (19:54):
Almost make the case that even if Otani, let's say hypothetically,
he doesn't pitch again, or doesn't pitch lot, his hitting
is so it's improving as he gets to twenty nine
thirty fifty four homers, three ten and all the steels
like just as a hitter, he's a better hitter than Sodo.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Yeah, I mean, he's the unicorn. There's no one like him.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
That's why whatever they were going to pay he was
probably going to be worth it and in that market,
and they just won the World Series.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Now he gets to pitch, even if he.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Doesn't pitch well, or maybe he doesn't pitch after this year,
maybe they decide to just make him a hitter. I'd
rather have him as a hitter than I would want
Soto as a hitter. And Otani also gives you fifty
stolen bases. He's going to hit, you know, forty five
home runs. But the Mets made the big splash. I
(20:46):
don't think anybody's surprised here. I know that the Red
Sox were involved. The Red Sox have some real good prospects,
they're just not ready to win now. I thought that
maybe the Giants or the Blue Jays would get involved
in this, And a lot of times what happens with
Scott Boris is you know, you're trying to drum up interest,
(21:06):
and then sometimes you'll mention a team even though that
team's probably not going to be in it. Dodgers, I
don't know how competitive their offer was, but as I said,
when this happened, he'd go to the highest bidder. That's
exactly what happened. Alrighty, some phone calls here and let's
do our one poll question, who had the best weekend?
Any other names we want to put in because right now,
(21:29):
Bryce Young, Sam Darnold, Yes, Paulie.
Speaker 8 (21:33):
Dabosweeney of Clemson. Considering how the season started, Sure, he
was irrelevance in September.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Oh, I know, and he collected receipts. He was like
everybody wrote us, all, yeah, we did, we did. When
you played somebody really good, we wrote you off.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
We did.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
You got through the ACC and you beat a good
SMU two, So you know, you can take the victory lap.
You can do your Mick Jagger, you know, peacock or
whatever that strutges that he has.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
Yes, yes, should I not put Wan Soto on that list?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I think he had a good weekend.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
I think he did. I mean, yeah, he just basically
became a billionaire.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Yeah yeah, after taxes though, I mean New York's expensive.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Yeah. What does Scott Morris? Does he get like, I
don't know if.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
It's five, it might be three these days.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Yeah, maybe like a realtor.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Well, it might be it gets to a certain level,
like you get five percent, that it goes four percent,
three percent. Maybe there's a escalating clauses there for him.
Speaker 10 (22:35):
Yes, Tom, I don't care how rich an owner is
in baseball. How do you justify that amount. It's not
like the quarterback of a football team. It's not like
a Michael Jordan where you're one of five players that
can one person can possibly carry a team to a championship.
So how do you add that up? Not to mention
what it's going to cost for what you were saying,
food and parking.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
He doesn't care. He wants to be a hero.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
He's probably never picked up a baseball bat in his life,
probably didn't get picked for a little league. You know,
he gets his chance to be a star. Like he's
a billionaire. There's a lot of billionaires, a lot of them.
But when you own a team, it's different. Then people
listen to what you have to say. Oh, he's the
owner of the Mets. Oh he's the owner of the Jaguars.
(23:22):
By the way, here comes God. That was the Titans Jacks.
That was tough. I would rather have just watched nothing
than watch that. I would rather have just sat quietly
and not watched. But I did watch because I was
(23:45):
fascinated with just how bad it was.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Yes, Marma, can you believe that used to be the
Thursday night game eight times a year, Titans Jaguars sixteen
to eleven score.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
And who knew that they played like five times a year.
It'd be like, you got to play again. Wait, we
just played them. I'm sorry you got to play again.
But if you go back, it was twenty four years ago,
Alex Rodriguez signed for two hundred and fifty million with
the Rangers.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
Also Scott Boris, by.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
The way, yes, indeed, sho Heyutani seven hundred million now seven.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Sixty five Wow.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
But it's not like salaries are escalating because in football,
the quarterback it's escalating. Wide receivers escalating like they all
continue to go up. This is this is just an aberration.
It's like, okay, yad Otani and you add one soda,
who is the next player?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Where you go? Did you hear what he signed for?
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Like Paul's schemes is not going to sign for five
hundred million dollars, certainly not with the Pirates.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Yes, heton how.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Many football players can you add up into this one
contract for one sodo?
Speaker 3 (24:53):
So what can I get for Juan Soto in the NFL? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (24:56):
Oh okay, I'm pretty sure you can get the top
five wide receivers in the NFL. Still wouldn't add up
to that one contract. Okay, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Do you take Mahomes even though he costs that that's
five hundred million of the seven sixty five Or do
I go, no, we're gonna take you know, bargain basement
here in certain categories, here you could get Justin Jefferson,
you get TJ want, you get Saquon Barkley, who else?
(25:37):
Travis Kelcey, then I get Taylor Swift.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
And this, But or you could get a guy who's
going to bat four times a day.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Yeah, yes, and I can choose not to pitch.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
To him, right and then so justins walking around?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Yeah yeah, Like I just go, hey, we're not throwing
to you today, Okay, yes, mart.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Seven out of those ten times he's gonna strikeout.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Seven hundred and sixty five million dollars and be a
Hall of Famer.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Yeah, yes, hery couple of phone A couple of phone
calls in here. John in Kentucky leads us off best
and worst of the weekend, John.
Speaker 11 (26:14):
Dan and Dan Eds, Good morning. I just wanted to
share one my best of the weekend Okay, my son
played high school football here in Kentucky for this tiny
private school called Sayer where the Sayer Spartans and our
head coach is Chad Pennington. That Chad Pennington and Chad
we started our program seven years ago from scratch and Dan,
(26:40):
we capped off a perfect fifteen to o season this
weekend by winning the class won a state title in Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
No, congratulations, congratulations.
Speaker 8 (26:52):
I'm looking it up right now that Sayer High School
in Kentucky didn't even have a football program from seventy
seven to twenty seventeen.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Then Chad Pennictin show up, Rvin.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
The real question is high school? They play fifteen games
of high school football?
Speaker 9 (27:04):
Now?
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Yeah? Wow, it's a lot. Huh. Griffin in Cincinnati, Hi Griff,
welcome back, Hey Dan.
Speaker 12 (27:11):
I was hoping to get some career advice from you today. Actually,
I have a couple of I have a couple of
job offers to get into TV reporting. Now my background
is in radio, but some of these markets are going
to give me a chance to do a little reporting.
But for the sake of saving some time, and since
you don't know me personally, I just wanted to ask
you what's some good advice that you would give your
(27:32):
students at full sale about accepting their first jobs in
the market and potentially weighing a couple of offers about
making the right decisions.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Then well, get on the air, and if you're covering
a professional team or college team, just make sure you're
getting into situation that you enjoy going to work. I
get to go to work. I don't have to go
to work. That's the ultimate goal, certainly in that business.
You get to go to work. And what do you
do when you go? And is there an ability to
(28:02):
move up? If you're reporting, you get a chance to
be on TV? Can you do weekends? Can you like
how much airtime are you going to get? And do
you like the place you're going to work for. I
was fortunate in the beginning stages of ESPN. I loved
going to work. Certainly the first fifteen years. I was
very lucky. Find a place you respect the people there,
(28:27):
There's an ability to move up the ladder a little
bit there. And if you can stay locally and you
don't have to go A lot of my students have
to go to really small markets around the country to
start out. But if you're able to stay there, have fun,
and you like who you're working for. Those are things
that I would check the box on.
Speaker 11 (28:49):
Well, that would be great.
Speaker 12 (28:50):
Yeah, I'm definitely going to have to move around to
either Michigan and become a uper or I'm on the
way to West Virginia right now to interview them and
they may ask me some questions to get into some stuff.
So two different situations. How about working for a larger
company where it is easier to move up or for
a family owned company where they only own one station.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I think it's gonna come down to your gut feeling, though, Griffin,
And thanks for the phone call and good luck with that. Yeah,
you're just you're gonna get into situations where once you
get in, you're gonna go Okay.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
I like this. I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
You may not like the city, you may not like
the teams you're covering or co work. I mean there's
a lot of drama that goes along with this. It's
not just getting a job, but find the place that
wants you there and that you feel like I can
stay here for a little while. Uh will in North Carolina?
Speaker 3 (29:43):
I will? What's on your mind?
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Dan?
Speaker 13 (29:46):
I got best of the weekend is a shout out
to my group threat in the locker room going seven
and not on spread Picks on Conference Championship Saturday. And
then I did want to possibly biggest head scratching moment
in college football this year. Wanted to hear your opinion
on it. Charles Tough winning the Sunbell, going ten and three,
(30:07):
being a member of the Nick Saving coach and Tree
and then deciding to accept a job offer at Southern Miss,
one of the lowliest programs in the country and one
of the poorest athletic departments. Just want to hear you
speculate a little bit on why he might have made
that decision.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
I don't know enough about it, will I don't. I'd
love to be able to wax poetic on Southern Miss
football and why somebody would want to go there, But
I don't know. Barry and Santa fe oh look who
look who picked up the phone to call and talk
about his mets.
Speaker 14 (30:40):
Say Barry, good morning fellow, Then good morning jack bro,
and what a beautiful day it is. And that's how
one so you know, and everybody else says whining and crying,
and it's all of a sudden fiscally responsible and doesn't
want to pay the money, and especially dopey Yankee fans
(31:03):
who actually thought he would stay for the pinstripe pride
and Yankee tradition.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
A congratulations, Barry, Thanks thanks for thanks for calling in.
Now go get a title. The fiscal responsibility like, I'm
so past that. I'm just thinking, does it make sense
for your team to get one guy at that price?
(31:32):
Or could I get four or five guys that are
really good or good instead? Because the last I looked,
you're probably gonna need some pitching, Probably gonna need a
little bit of pitching.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Just Soto pitch? Can we check it? Check it?
Speaker 2 (31:51):
They're probably saying Otani pitches for seven hundred million.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Is there any chance that you could pitch?
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Any chance? Every fifth day? All right, we'll take a break.
Play the day up next.

Seaton from the first hour of the program.
Speaker 6 (33:15):
Yeah, we got two of them up there right now.
The Vikings are geniuses or Lucky right now, Lucky is
sixty three percent of that vote.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Yeah, I know that they're going, Hey, that's a smart franchise.
Look at what they did. You know they got Sam Donold. Well,
they weren't planning on playing Sam Donald, or if they did,
it was going to be at the beginning of the year.
Kevin O'Connell has done a wonderful job with Sam Darnald.
I'm gonna give him a lot of credit and he
deserves credit for that. They do have They have the
(33:49):
best wide receiver in football, you start there, and Jordan
Addison's pretty good as well. They are the fifth set
of teammates in the Super Bowl era to have at
least one hundred three already receiving yards and at least
two touchdowns. So they got a good defense. And as
long as Sam is not going to throwing interceptions, you
(34:10):
have those receivers and Justin Jefferson makes it look easy.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
He does.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
First player in NFL history was seven thousand receiving yards
in the first five seasons. He's twenty six years of age.
So you do have a good team playing in a
really tough division, and I think we begrudgingly give them credit.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
I probably do.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
I keep waiting, Like I like Sam Darnold from his
USC days. He was always very good, you know, to
the show and coming on. But you know, he disappeared,
got kind of kicked to the curb. Backup quarterback, got
his chance. Now here's the situation. JJ McCarthy will be
back next year, we assume he'll be healthy. Does he
(34:57):
get a chance to start? Do you bring Sam Donald back?
He's a free agent, a true free agent. What is
Sam Darnald going to cost you? Because you do need
an insurance policy of knowing if JJ McCarthy can play.
They took him too high in the draft to not
play him. But can I say to Sam Darnald, how
(35:19):
about a two year deal kind of like what the
Packers did with Jordan Love, because he's going to probably say,
I want to test the open market, and I don't
know what that market is because what is Sam twenty seven?
I mean, that's amazing. I've been around a long time.
He's twenty seven and should be coming into the prime
(35:41):
of his career. Can he have a Baker may Is
he having a Baker Mayfield kind of resurgence? Would he
take a Baker Mayfield type deal? Because you still have
that rookie deal with JJ McCarthy, but you want to
spread that money around to make sure that you're keeping players.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (35:57):
See, it almost feels like for another team to sign
Sam Donald, it's like, okay, now do it again and
then we'll sign you Vikings. I totally understand if they
kept them, but for anybody else, if he's looking to
go outside of that at a big deal, man, it
feels like, all right, that was good, that was good.
Let's see you do it again and then we'll give
you a big money.
Speaker 9 (36:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
I just don't know what kind of contract you're going
to give him that he would go because they already
drafted the guy that they want to start. I don't
think you can go. On second thought, we want Sam
Donald to be our started. I mean you can, you
definitely can. Yeah, yeah, I mean Jordan loves sat for
a while, but I mean that's are ready to win now, team.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
I'd have to say to Sam how badly do you
want to stay?
Speaker 6 (36:51):
And I don't know that. Do you feel like handing
the quarterback roll over to JJ McCarthy is like, and
now we're ready to win?
Speaker 9 (36:57):
No?
Speaker 6 (36:58):
Probably not. That's kicking that down another two or three years. Yes,
that you don't have that kind of time.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Yeah, I'm pulling it.
Speaker 8 (37:03):
Feels like the Vikings went from a bad quarterback situation
to start the season to a great one to an
awkward one because if you make the playoffs with Sam Darnold,
the pressure from the fan base to keep him. They
have no loyalty to JAJ McCarthy. I think the pressure
of ticket. Like you said, Baker Mayfield got three years
for one hundred million, fifty million guaranteed that could be
a win for the Vikings.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Weirdly, uh gush in la high gus, what's on your
mind today?
Speaker 5 (37:32):
Good morning, mister Patrick. Hope and the boys had a
great weekend. Hey, I congratulations to my newly found cousin
Lonsto on that contract. Nothing like giving a career to
eighty batter seven hundred and sixty five million. That's great
news for the Mets fans. I'm proud of you, guys.
Best of the weekend. I got my little football prayer's answered. Selfishly,
(37:53):
the Steelers win and the Eagles win. Reason why I'm
going for the Eagles is because I'm taking a little
trip out east this week and I was able to
get my hands on a few tickets to the Steelers
Eagles game and I'm going to be in the house
at Lincoln Financial on Sunday, And I mean, what better
way I'm I'm selfishly gonna think that that's gonna be
the game of the weekend as compared to the Bills
(38:14):
and the Lions. Oh, I spend one of my first
time at Lincoln Financial. Hopefully Eagles fans will not rid
me limb from limb at that walk in with my
terrible towel. So that's it.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Wait, wait, what are you wearing? What am I wearing
when you, oh man, when you go to the game, like.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
You know, I gotta wear jersey. I'm wearing my Troy
Paula Malu home black jersey.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
No, no, I gus, I wouldn't do it.
Speaker 5 (38:41):
So what am I supposed to wear this?
Speaker 2 (38:43):
I just a just a winter jacket. Yeah, like we
used to do. Yeah. I'm just saying, just saying, you're
a big guy. I would say. Now, Steeler fans, they travel.
But depending if you're seated with Steeler fans, great, and
(39:04):
you come in and leave with Steeler fans.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
Great, and just be careful. All right. Thank you guys,
very weird. Thank you guys. Mark in Kentucky, Hi, Mark,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 9 (39:21):
Hey? Dan? I was calling in with the best of
the weekend that is solely attributable to this show.
Speaker 5 (39:26):
The Monday before.
Speaker 9 (39:27):
Thanksgiving, you and Seaton were talking about Steven Wilson Junior.
I had never heard of him. I looked him up
was instantly hooked. I saw he was playing a show
here in Louisville this past Friday night. On the resale
value the tickets were in the hundreds of dollars. I
still bought two from me and my brother. We show up,
there's like kids in line and in the show. And
then his family had driven down from Seymour and he
(39:50):
had a cordon off section for him right up right
by the stage, and he got a little emotional when
he introduced a father's son.
Speaker 5 (39:56):
It was amazing.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Good.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Yeah, he's going to come by the studio and we're
gonna talk to Steven Wilson Jr. I almost feel like
I'd be doing a disservice to this audience to not
introduce you to Steven Wilson Junior. I feel that strongly
about him. When I told Satan about this song, it's
called I Am a Song, Seatan said he played it
five times in a row.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Easy.
Speaker 6 (40:20):
Yeah, it's one of the best songs I've ever heard
in my life.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
So he'll be joining us. We'll let you know when.
But he's quite a singer. Steven Wilson Junior coming up.
We'll talk a little bit more about the college football playoffs.
Is there a good first round match up here? And
does Alabama have a legitimate beef or of your phone
calls on a best and Worst Monday Coming up
