Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Final Hour.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
In this Tuesday, Man, this is just flown by. We
talked about the Vikings moving forward, how dangerous the Rams are,
and we also talked about the Dallas Cowboys situation. Is
the Dion to the Cowboys a real story? We talked
to Tim Callishaw. Tim has been in Dallas writing about
the Cowboys for over twenty five years. He said he
didn't think it was now Jerry reaching out to Dion
(00:28):
and he might do that as a friend of friend,
and say, what do you think you move on from
Mike McCarthy Reportedly you were going to give him a
one year deal, which is a slap in the face.
You're basically saying, you know what, Mike, you can move
on from this. But if you're willing to take a
one year deal, then great, I'll still be the owner
and the coach of this team. And Mike McCarthy probably thought,
(00:51):
you know, five years, you know, it's like dog years,
So it's not just five years that you coach the Cowboys.
It's more than that. And as Tim Callishaw pointed it
out in his column, and I'll read it again because
it really sets the tone of what whoever is coming
in there for the Cowboys, this is what you're up against.
So this was part of his column that this was
(01:12):
towards the end of it, and he's talking about how
Dak Prescott is injury prone. He's thirty two, he can't
run anymore. He had twenty four rushing yards through seven games.
Then against Atlanta rushed for thirty yards on three carries.
Next thing you know, he's having surgery on his hamstring.
Done for the year. So that's twenty six games he's
(01:33):
missed in the last five seasons, just short of a
third the Cowboys schedule. So he's immobile and injury prone,
and you owe him a guaranteed two hundred and thirty
one million dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
How do you.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Fix this team? If you can't fix Dak Prescott, who's
best equipped to do that? Now, you can bring in
Cliff Kingsbary, you can bring in Ben Jon. I mean,
they can't make Dak healthier, they can't make him younger,
they can't make him cheaper. So this is going to
be the ninth coaching hire and Jerry Jones is spinning
(02:07):
his wheels on the one story to now Laughingstock franchise
one more time. So that's Tim Callishaw Dallas Morning News.
That's the reality of this. You can say, boy, it's
a great job, you're the Cowboys head coach.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
It's not a great job. It's a prestigious job. It's
got a spotlight on you. And there's a difference. It's
like the Yankee manager. Now, is it a great job?
I think it used to be a great job. Is
it still a great job. It's a prestigious job. You're
the manager of the Yankees. Now you don't have the
(02:42):
front office getting involved with the Yankees the way they
once did with George Steinbrenner. But Jerry Jones is George Steinbrenner.
He's always meddling, always got to be involved. Now, George
Steinbrenner wasn't doing two radio shows a week. He wasn't
there after each game doing an interview. Now, maybe the
new you know, the new era, George Steinbrenner would be
(03:05):
doing a couple of radio shows. But Jerry Jones is
addicted to this. He loves it. He and I think
that's why he drags this out. I truly think he
loves these stories where the cowboys are always you know,
they're they're the tail wagging the dog. All of these
shows this morning, turn on one of these shows. What
(03:28):
are they talking about cowboys? Well, we talk about when
we need to talk about the cowboys. And now you'll
have a real day here where they need a head coach.
Is Dion involved? Well, you throw Dion in here and
all of a sudden, you got some magic you can
talk about that. You can dine out on that for
a long time. And that's why I asked Tim Callishaw,
(03:49):
did he think it was real? Jerry Jones and Dion
are good friends, reportedly good friends, and he might have said, now,
who does this benefit? It benefits both, like somebody had
to leak this because let's say I call Paulie. Well,
I don't if I didn't tell anybody else. But then
Fritzy says, hey, I heard you talk to Paul. Well,
(04:12):
that came from Paul. That's how this works. I'm going
to talk to Dion. Then I would say, hey, let's
just keep this between ourselves. Well he didn't want to
Dion benefits. What if Dion says, hey, I said to Jerry,
I'm not interested. I'm interested in coaching Colorado. Well, that
goes over really well with your recruits. But you turned
(04:35):
down the Cowboys to continue to coach us and Jerry,
it's like, you know what, once again, it's the tail
wagging the dog. All this publicity they're talking about my team. Now,
that doesn't mean they're talking positively about your team, but
as people make the mistake, any publicity is good publicity.
That's not true. But for Jerry, I think he thinks
(04:58):
it is. Yes, Marvin, question is what does Lebron think
about this?
Speaker 4 (05:03):
And Taylor Swift?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Oh that's good eight seven seven three DP show email
address Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle the DP show Mark
Sanchez if Fox Sports will join us? Coming up the Rams.
They rolled the Vikings. Literally they had nine sacks against
Sam Darnold and all of a sudden, Sam darnald future
is in jeopardy. In question, Paully wants to play the
(05:30):
Sam Donald game? And who wouldn't want to play the
Sam Donald game. I'm not sure what the rules are,
but I'm ready to play.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Here we go, Dan, this is the part Sam Darnald game.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Oh, you have to tell me what team he's on
next year and what his salary for next season will be.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
So we're gonna help it out here.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
So let's say he signs a contract of three years
ninety million with team blank, and your guest say, he's
going to make thirty million next season. We're giving that
to you. Sometimes it's pro rated. Blah blah Blahkay's very generous.
Greater trying to try to be friendly. Who would like
to go first team and salary for Sam Donald.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Let's go around the room, Todd, I'm gonna say Titans
two years, forty one point five million.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Actually, no, he's gonna make fair.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
He'll gets fifty eight point five million.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
That was not the game. It was next year's salary
for Sam Darnold. But you got the team right.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
He'll make thirty five million dollars with the Titan. Okay, wait,
did did Todd cheat off your paper? Seaton?
Speaker 3 (06:37):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I don't think he cheated off my paper.
Speaker 7 (06:39):
I mean there's a couple of like what seemed like
more obvious ones.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Titans was high on my list. Okay, I'm not gonna
say the Titans. I'm gonna go with.
Speaker 7 (06:48):
The Las Vegas Raiders of Oaklubo.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Took Marvin's guess.
Speaker 7 (06:58):
Ther Vegas Ray of Oakland, and I believe he's going
to get a three year deal worth ninety five million dollars.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Okay, Now if they take are the Titans and the
Raiders off the board, Paul, I can't guess.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
We could do it that way to press Marvin and I.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Well, no, I want you going with what you think, Like,
what's the correct answer here in your opinion?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Marvin?
Speaker 6 (07:28):
The Las Vegas Raiders at forty and a half million
dollars a year.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Forty and a half million, all right, Paul? Sam Donald
is where next year?
Speaker 5 (07:38):
I'm going to go with the Indianapolis Colts and he'll
make thirty six million dollars next year.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Okay, Colts.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I'm going to say the Minnesota Vikings at thirty five
million dollars.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
A year, and that's a Sam Donald gap.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Actually, I have to.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Take it's not the thirty.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
That's why.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
No, it's not done yet. Okay, wait, I'm changing my answer.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Can you do that once the game is over?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Well?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
No, I don't know. If I was finished here. I
had my Eraser Mulligan, my number two pency. Whatever happened
to number one pencil? Why did we go to number two?
And that's what they sell at Crappensburg State, a lot
of number two pencils. I'm going to say the Vikings
(08:26):
at forty one and a half million dollars. Yeah, are
you not a good one?
Speaker 4 (08:32):
I'm a terrible whistler.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
You should take that immediately, Sam Donald.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
If that's the other yeah, so be a one and done.
That's the Sam Donald game.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
Yeah, it's an oddly optimistic Sam Donald game.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yeah it is. I think we're we're leaning positive.
Speaker 7 (08:53):
We had the whole question up there who had worst
day yesterday? Mike McCarthy or Sam Donald. I'm gonna let
you guess who is currently getting ninety four percent.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Of the vote, Sam Darnold.
Speaker 7 (09:04):
Yes, although on our poll couster we have him listed
as Sam Arnold, which it's possible Sam Arnold also had.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
A bad day.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
But that's uh, well, you would the Rams put the
d in. Oh I didn't see that playing. I was
I didn't watch all again it was a quarterback sneak. Yes, oh,
Dear Dad of the day. Brought to you by Penniny America,
the official official trading cards to the Dan Patrick Show
(09:37):
Big Ten Basketball Live on NBC in Peacock it's Oregon
and Purdue. That's January eighteenth on NBC in Peacock. I
was watching basketball last night. I think it might have
Rutgers in Ucla. Did that started like six o'clock because
I wanted to see Rutgers has two lottery picks, and uh,
(09:57):
I wanted to see Mick Cronin melt down on the sidelines,
and he did a pretty good job yelling and screaming nightly. Wow, Mick,
how about some composure. But Rutgers has two lottery they
have two of the five best players I believe, or
five top five players that'll be drafted. And I think
(10:20):
they're eight and eight on the season. Yes, Mart, we're
lax DP.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
They're nine and eight now, oh okay, with the win,
they're two and four in the Big Ten. So they
might not make the Big Ten tournament. Right now, they're
like seventeenth in the Big Ten with two top five
picks probably.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
So you have Ace Bailey and then you have Dylan Harper.
Dylan Harper who's Ron Harper's son, and they're really good,
but for some reason the team isn't really good.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Yes, Paul, I love a classic Big Ten matchup like
Rutgers versus UCLA a weeknight like my kids used to watch.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
But I think also they were talking you had that,
and then you had USC was playing somebody, you know,
not that classic Big ten matchup. But yeah, I'm just
flipping through, and all of a sudden, I got Mick
Cronin on the sidelines yelling and screaming, and I go,
all right, I'm gonna watch this for a little bit.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
Yes, Mark La market versus the New York market, that's
what they wanted when they got Rutgers.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yeah, you want Rutgers. That's that New York market because
nobody loves Rutgers sports like the New York market does.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
New Brunswick and westwoody're right near chat. What's the problem.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that had great success. I actually called
a basketball game at the Rack many many many years
ago in the mother Ship. Great environment. Uh they weren't
a very good team, but great environment there. Let's see
Gabe in South Carolina. Hi, Gabe, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 8 (11:47):
You know, I got six I got two things street Dan.
But first I'd like to shout out my three month
old baby, little Bucky a Buck and Dan, I'd like
to suggest that we renamed the Most Valuable Caller Award Gabe.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Gabe is is Bucky that his birth name and that's
on birth certificate.
Speaker 8 (12:09):
No, it's Hunter. But he likes this cup that I
bought from the BUCkies gas station, So I call him
buck Slash BUCkies.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Okay, But what if the cup was called something else?
Would you have called him like I don't Stanley? Yeah, sure, yeah,
I like that about y Would you call him Yetti
if he was chewing on a Yetti cup?
Speaker 8 (12:36):
He doesn't chew on it. He just stares at it
and smiles at it. Oh yeah, I'll call him Yetty,
He'll be.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yetti all right? All right?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
So Most Valuable Caller the award that we handed out
to I think James in Virginia.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
I think we should name it after James in Virginia
because if we have it every year, just up for everyone,
James is gonna win it every year.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
He's too good.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Dan Well, it feels gets Christ and Syracuse that it
should be the Christen Syracuse Award won by James in Virginia.
Like Christ and Syracuse emeritis, he was when we would
tell people, you want to be a professional caller, listen
to christ and Syracuse, Hey fellas, and then he would
go right into his question and then that was it.
(13:18):
So James and Virginia winning the coveted Christ and Syracuse
Caller of the Year award.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
Yes, Mark, if it's the most shocking caller, then it
could be the James and Virginia Award.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
So you find out because Amy found out he was white.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
Yeah, you find out Andy's black?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Oh man, the James and Virginia Award. I know it
was one of those where and I always love seeing
Marvin's face when Andy called in and then Andy from
Buffalo I believe Island for Syracuse, oh Rhode Island, and
he says that he's black, and then you can see
Marvin like, I'm not going to fall for this. We
thought James and Virginia was black. And then all of
(13:56):
a sudden, he sends in a picture. So James and
Virginia sends in a picture. It's him and two black guys,
and Marvin's like, which black guy is James? And then
James started speaking on the video. Marvin's like, no, no,
he can't be black. James in Virginia.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Anything's possible.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
David in Ohio, Hey, David, what's on your mind?
Speaker 9 (14:21):
Hey Dan, good morning. I saw DJ McCarthy tweet out
this Latin phrase and more fatigue, which means fate of love.
So I wanted your take on that, and I think
it would be good content. We can get Shane Irving
on his take on.
Speaker 10 (14:37):
Mike McCarthy.
Speaker 9 (14:39):
Getting parting ways with the Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
So thanks, all right, well, thank you, David.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah, I don't speak Latin, I barely speak English. So
and then as far as Shyan Irving, he's got to
be happy that they're moving on from Mike McCarthy. I'm
surprised we didn't hear from him, but once again, this
is a new year, a new Shay. He's trying to
be more mature, a better father, a better husband.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
Yes, I did see a tweet from Shay that said
God is good yesterday. I'm not sure exactly what he
was referencing there, but I do know that figuring out
the Cowboys head coaching situation was very high on God's
priority list.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
It could have been just a coincidence, though, that God
is good and they move on from Mike McCartney. Oh
all right, let me take a break. We'll come back.
Mark Sanchez on loan from Fox Sports. Tom Brady called
it a game, a shout out for eating a hot
dog on the sidelines and a win against the Raiders
(15:45):
many many years ago. Sanchez will join us after this

Speaker 2 (16:58):
More phone calls coming out. Everybody's fired up about the
Vikings situation. Kevin mccarth Kevin O'Connell's role in the offense here,
could he have protected Sam Donald? Did the Vikings want
Sam Donald? Who won Sam Donald on the open market?
The Cowboys situation. Jerry Jones deon Sanders. By the way,
(17:18):
Matthew Stafford pretty economical. He threw for two to nine
and two touchdowns. He did have the all time passing
yards per playoff game. He had the highest number of
three hundred and eight yards, so this is minimum at
least four playoff games. So now he's down to ninety
seven in his playoff career. Dan Fouts is second Kurt
(17:42):
Warner the all time leader at three hundred and four yards.
Dan Fouts three to Zho three, Drew Brees two ninety eight,
and then you have Matthew Stafford at two ninety seven.
I'm looking at the point spreads. Before we get to
Mark Sanchez. The Texans are getting seven and a half
against the Chiefs Commanders, nine and a half against the Lions.
The Rams are getting six against the Eagles, and the
(18:05):
Ravens are getting giving one and a half to the
Buffalo Bills. We make way for our friend. He's Mark Sanchez,
Fox Sports, joining us on the program. How good are
the Rams?
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Cool?
Speaker 13 (18:18):
I think they're an excellent young team that is peaking
at the right time. And stude I already forgot Sorry,
good morning, Danets, and where are you?
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Six six?
Speaker 13 (18:32):
I'm in Hawaii. Actually, my wife's we got two twins.
We got twins on the way, so we're doing a
little trip before she can't travel anymore, and then we'll
be in dad mode and wife mode and baby mode
for most of the offseason. So this is our chance
to get away. But I'm not going to miss you guys.
Sixty three coach, I'm getting a little heavy by the
(18:54):
end of the season. I've been eating a little too much.
I don't read on the sidelines. I eat hot dogs
on the sidelines and they like two right now, so
I need.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
To trim up.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Oh wow, okay, but Ray shout you out though, Mark
with the Yeah, I remember seeing.
Speaker 13 (19:10):
It Texas during the game. I texted Dured the game
and he texted me back like a quarter later, just
with one of those funny emojis. Yeah, you know, messing around.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
With each other.
Speaker 13 (19:19):
But it's, uh, it's been cool to watch, you know.
And when you see other players doing what you're doing
and watch them grow throughout the season, it's, uh, it's
pretty fun.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Okay, go back to eating the hot dog. Yeah, so
you you blew out the Raiders and you're eating a
hot dog on the sidelines. Did you catch any heat
from anybody?
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Oh my god? Yeah.
Speaker 13 (19:40):
So we we win three straight. This is my rookie year.
We win three straight. Then we lose like four straight.
We go to California. I'm back home. It's in Oakland.
We're playing the Raiders at the Old Coliseum and my
whole family's coming to the game. My mom actually got
a beer dumped on her by a Raiders fan that
game him because we were beating.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Him so bad.
Speaker 13 (20:01):
And my brothers almost went to jail because they had
to like throw this guy off over her. It was creaty.
It was crazy like classic Raiders game. So then I
wouldn't I couldn't eat. Like the night before and the
day of, I was just like so in my head
and so upset and couldn't figure out what was going on,
why we're losing, you know, trying to get better whatever,
and I just didn't eat. So those guys on the
(20:23):
sidelines that have white shirts and blue shorts, they have
like one little NFL logo. They're like kind of like
ball boys. They do like water stuff whatever, And so
I just looked at one of them and I go, hey, dide,
you got any food? Because I got pulled out of
the game. I said, do you have any food? And
he's like, you mean like a power bar or like
a something like that. I was like, I don't know anything.
Can you run up to concessions. I'll take a hot dog,
(20:44):
I'll take a burger, like whatever you got. He goes, yeah, dude,
i'll get dog. I'll grab you a dog. And so
he ran up, goes and gets a hot dog. Is
he's running away, I'm like, yo, grab some mustard, he
runs up, gets the mustard and then you see the
whole deal where you know Dan Deirdore and it was
gumble I think Gumble Rip was calling the game, but
(21:06):
they they had the camera on me and they caught me.
But back to your question about the Rams, because I've
had them a couple times this year. I'm so impressed
with Chris Shula and this defensive coordinator. You know, you
lose your defensive coordinator Raheem Morris to Atlanta and he
takes over the job and people think like, oh yeah,
first year, Well he's been there for eight years with
(21:27):
Sean McVay knows exactly what this offense is, what this
team looks like, how it's supposed to fit together, and
the way they've drafted and developed. You got to, you know,
tip your caps a less need and this defensive staff
because it's incredible. I mean Byron Young at one point
he was working at like a dollar General and then
(21:49):
ended up getting his chance to play at Tennessee wherever
he went, and he wears the number zero, he said,
because that's how many people believe in me.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
And this dude's making.
Speaker 13 (21:57):
Great plays out there. Whether you get Kobe turn from
Wake Forest, who was originally at Richmond, then goes to
Wake Forest for his senior year. The dudes a captain
for the LA Rams defense his second year in the league. Like,
that's pretty impressive stuff. And then you put in these
two rookies that Reek Taboc last year on the Florida
State defense that basically had him undefeated, and it's you know,
(22:20):
fisk and verse, and so they were able to generate
pressure without bringing five or six players a lot. They
did it occasionally. You saw the Kobe Durant pressure. But
when you can do it with four, that's a defensive
coordinator's dream. You could just sit back, play coverage, generate
your pressure with four and force that quarterback to get
rid of the ball. You got plenty of guys in coverage,
(22:43):
and I mean you got to give them.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
All their due.
Speaker 13 (22:45):
They really really played well in that game. And to
Stafford's point, you were talking about all those yards, it
wasn't going to be that kind of day.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
It wasn't going to be a.
Speaker 13 (22:53):
Throw for three to fifty type day, five touchdowns, you know, yeah,
thirty five of forty, it's not that day. And for
him to understand the formula to win that football game,
the way we're gonna get after him on defense. That's
what they talk about when you say complimentary football, that's
what they're talking about. When teams understand that, know how
to play that game, and sometimes it's time to just
cut bait, move on with your life. You don't have
(23:14):
to take the shot downfield. And obviously Matthew Stafford knows that.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Okay, but let me look at the Viking situation. You
just got manhandled by the lines the previous game. You
know the Rams are going to look at that blueprint
and say, all right, let's just see can we bring
four and put pressure on him and make him uncomfortable.
We had Kurt Warner on last hour and Kurt said, hey,
I wasn't mobile, but I knew when to get rid
(23:40):
of the ball. Sacks are not all created equal here,
So what should the Vikings have done to mitigate the
damage or certainly the pressure on Sam.
Speaker 13 (23:51):
Okay, this is an extreme example, but remember in the
game when Stafford dumped the ball out.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Yeah, and people, oh, it's intentional grounding, intentioning. Do you
understand his level of understoning all of his where.
Speaker 13 (24:08):
All of his pieces are at all times and being
able to get hit close your eyes, still have that
picture in your head of exactly where all the chess
pieces are, and to just flip that ball out knowing
you're going to get the ball where you're supposed to
get the ball.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
I'm not getting sack. I am not.
Speaker 13 (24:26):
I refuse to take negative plays. So sometimes when you'd
see you know, even Peyton Manning Tom Brady immediately catch
the ball, boom, it's not right and either fall down
instead of going back another five yards, or literally just
rifle the ball at somebody's ankle.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
You're like, what the hell was that? Well, they know
it's not worth it. You got me.
Speaker 13 (24:47):
I know when to hold them, I know when to
fold them. Kenny Rodgers right like the gambler. I know
how to play this game. And those kind of things
are where Stafford is operating at an elite level. And
Sam is still learning some of those things. And it's
tough because some of those are on him. Some of
those he could have got the ball out earlier. And
(25:09):
in big games like that, we say this all the time,
you know. I think Pete Carroll was incredible about reminding
us of these big moments and all the commercials and
all the hype surrounding this game makes this game feel bigger.
Same size field, same size ball, same rules except for overtime.
So what are we doing? We go back to our fundamentals.
(25:33):
We know when to get rid of the ball, we
know when to hold them, when to fold them. Let's
go play some ball and Sam you know, unfortunately he's
just got to continue to learn.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
But hell of a year.
Speaker 13 (25:42):
I just feel bad because the last two games, that
recency bias is going to crush him when it comes to,
you know, contract negotiations this offseason. That that knocked them
down a couple of rungs. But you know clearly he
can play. Now you get them to that next level.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
If you're Minnesota, do you like what do you think
Sam Donald's future is? Where is it? Well?
Speaker 13 (26:03):
I think now it might be better for Minnesota financially,
you know, because you start negotiating at a different number
than you might have if he won the last two games, right,
or he would have won. To love sat out this year, yeah,
sure that you totally can if you love McCarthy and
then you got to bring in another veteran or you
keep Daniel Jones who's on the roster and have him
(26:24):
be your veteran and then potentially be like Sam Donald
next year. Like there's they have plenty of options. The
big the big questions are all the free agents they
got on defense. I think Joe Buck might have said
it last night, but I think Mattellis is the only
one in that back end in their secondary and linebacker
group that's even on contract for the next year. So
they got like six free agents there there were a
(26:47):
critical part of their success. So I think it's not
just a quarterback. There's Kevin O'Connell shown he can play
well with a lot of different quarterbacks already, whether it's
you know the past or not, whether it's Kirk Cousins,
whether it's Sam Darnold, you know they can do He
can do it. So now it's okay, how do we
win that first playoff game? They got to get out
(27:08):
of the wildcard round or get the first round by
and win a divisional They just got to win a
playoff game, and then you know, what are we doing
on defense? Who's going to play for us at quarterback?
I think those are great questions. But now I think
if anything, if anybody has the leverage, it might be
Minnesota a little more than.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Sam Mark Sanchez father and waiting joining us one from
a Fox Sports. You know you're competitive guy, Tom Brady
is Tom Brady, But do you feel you're a better
analyst than Tom Brady?
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa careful now, careful listen. And I
hope Tom would pay you.
Speaker 13 (27:43):
But you got to feel like I feel like, if
you're if you're playing quarterback, or if you're going to
compete at anything, you got to feel like you're the
best or you shouldn't be doing it, in my opinion.
But that's just the way I was weird. That's just
kind of the way, you know, we grew up. When
you step into the booth, you step in beat between
the white lines, you step on the court, you're the
baddest dude out there. And if you don't think like that,
(28:07):
it's not gonna go well and it's not even worth
your time. So of course I think, you know, I
can do this better than anybody. But I'm sure Troy
Agman thinks that, I'm sure Tom Brady thinks that, and
they're all really really good. And at the end of
the day too, when it comes to you know, this
announcing game, it's a little different than you know, as
as a quarterback, you have a record next to your name,
(28:28):
you have a completion percentage, you know, you throw for yards, touchdowns,
You get all these stats. Wasn't an announcer. You get
a bunch of opinions about either you're.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Good or not. Well, what makes you good? I don't know.
Speaker 13 (28:40):
You might like chocolate ice cream. I might like vanilla
ice cream. We both think they're good, so you know
what I mean. So it's pretty subjective when you get
to the announcing stuff. The thing that I do appreciate though,
and this is kind of a Fox thing that I've
really you know, leaned into and looked up and kind
of researched. But like when McMillan and Madden and you know,
(29:03):
all these old school broadcasters were together on the Fox team,
they would collaborate because what happens is you have crossover tape.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
So think about it.
Speaker 13 (29:11):
You have a sixteen to eighteen game season, and you
call the New Orleans Saints week two, and then you
have the New Orleans Saints at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
week eighteen. Well, if you haven't seen New Orleans for
sixteen weeks, that is a completely different ball club, and
those narratives going into week two have changed in week eighteen.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
So it was interesting.
Speaker 13 (29:34):
Before the last game of the season, we're together, actually
in the same place by happenstance. But I see Tom
and he's working out. I'm working out, and he's like, Hey,
I got the Saints. You just called their game this
past weekend in New Orleans. What's the word? Talk to
me about him a little bit. You had him versus
the commander's boom. Now he's got the commanders. So we're
just talking and sharing ideas and stuff, and hey, man,
(29:56):
here's what I saw, Here's where I think they got
to get better. Here's what they're having albums with, Here's
what they do really well. And this, this to me
is their formula to win.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
You know.
Speaker 13 (30:04):
So when you watch the tape, i'd keep an eye
on stuff like that. And he does the same thing
in uh, you know, back and forth and look good.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
But but who can bench more between you and Tom Brady?
Speaker 3 (30:14):
A bench more? Yeah? Oh man, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
No, he's he's he's all about him last year.
Speaker 13 (30:22):
He's not a big like bench Yeah, he's not a
big yeah. Pliability all the bands and stuff yeah, I'll
tell you what he He was.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Getting it in that workout, though. Bro.
Speaker 13 (30:31):
I walked into the gym and I was like, I
need a stretch. I just got off a flight, I
had just arrived. I walked in with a pizza and sandals,
and my man's over there like full billy blanks, like ty.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Bow going hundred miles now.
Speaker 13 (30:44):
I was like whoa. And then I finally realized it
with him. I was like, who is this guy? Like
what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Oh? Sorry? Got it? What's up? Dude?
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Does Tom have a bunch of around him that they
remind him how Grady looks like, no.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
No, no, he's you know, he's gotta. He's gotta.
Speaker 13 (31:00):
He's got a good group of people, and you know
the trainer, you know he's got. I'm over there just
thinking back to my old workouts, like, yeah, I think
I'm supposed to do.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
That's why you weigh to Mark.
Speaker 13 (31:12):
Easy coach, We're not body shaving here, We're not body shaving.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
This is okay, out of dad bod. This is a
father figure.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Okay, Yeah, that's hot. Final minute here. Cowboys job is blank.
The Cowboys job is blank?
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Interesting, wild available.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
I mean those aren't compliments.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
I don't know. I don't know who's best suited to
take that job.
Speaker 13 (31:48):
Because if you go Dion, I think there's like he's
started to catch up to that learning curve of coaching
in college and clearly made progress. Right you can you
can tangibly like there's more wins than the year before.
He got good players there, he knows how to motivate
those kind of things. He's gonna need some really good
coordinators if he's going to stay that same mode. Unless
(32:11):
he just goes hardcore coordinate the offense or coordinate the defense,
he's going to be more of a delegator when it
comes to responsibilities coordinating wise. So I love that it'll
give them a ton of attention. It'll give them you know,
it'll that star will be shining awfully bright, which I
know Jerry likes. But if we're talking about somebody who's
(32:32):
maybe a little more plug and play and obviously less
you know, media fodder and less you know, stuff like that,
less energy that way, I mean, how about a guy
who grew up in the building, who's done so well
for you, who's over in Philly in your division, light
in the world on fire and killing Moore. I mean,
(32:53):
I'm just I just don't know if they do it,
because it almost admits that they made a mistake by
letting him go and keep carsy at that point. Right,
So either way, this defense, I mean, you're gonna blow
up this defense no matter what you're paying, Dack, you're
paying CD might want to figure out how to disburge
some of that money a little bit. Got to revamp
the O line a little bit, but that defense was
(33:14):
gonna get blown up no matter what I mean.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
They were. They were hard to watch at times. They
give up a lot of big plays.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Before I let you go. The Bills Ravens game comes
down to.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Turnovers.
Speaker 13 (33:25):
If Josh Allen takes care of the ball the way
he does and the way he's running it, that was
their only achilles heel these last few years in the playoffs.
It would be one bad fumble, one mistake down the
field trying to force the ball. If he plays turnover
free football, which Joe Brady's got him doing. Their offensive coordinator.
It's and you notice they're using Cook a lot more
(33:47):
at the running back spot, not just running the ball,
but catching the ball in the backfield. Josh has really
stepped up his game, and it's really just cutting down
the mistakes and eliminating those turnovers. You look at a Stafford,
you look at Josh Allen. The guys that play the
best this time of the year, take care of the football, safe.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Travels, good luck. The twins coming up, and you got names.
Speaker 13 (34:11):
No, I'd like a poll question on that though, because
they're identical twin girls. So we're gonna need, you know,
some good ones. Giselle, my son wants to name him
Fish and Chips. I told him that's a tough sell.
Please meet my daughter Fish. Like what, So I need
(34:33):
Fritzy on that I need. I need the boys helping out.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
I need the day.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
I don't think you don't need Fritzy on that.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
No, you don't.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
We'll come up with some.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Yeah, thank you, Mark, appreciate you, guys. Mark Sanchez, Fox,
NFL analyst, former NFL quarterback as well identical twins girls. Mmm, yes,
I have a question after the break about helping twins. Okay,
we're gonna take a break. Last call for phone calls.
(35:01):
What we learn, what's in store tomorrow this day in
sports history.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
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 (35:16):
Last Call for phone calls, what we learn, what's in
store tomorrow? Each seven to seven to three DP show. Yeah,
that's a quick show. Yeah, a lot of topics. Don't
know what we solved today, but we did spend three
hours with you or vice versa. Hopefully you stayed with us.
But the Dion situation with the Cowboys, also Sam Darnold's
(35:38):
future with Minnesota, and as we get closer to these
matchups coming up this weekend, we'll dive into that as well.
Also have the National Title Game to preview coming up
as well, Lucas and Texas. Hi, Luke, what's on your
mind today? Hey day, good morning, good morning.
Speaker 10 (35:57):
Look, Hey, I'm no lover of the Cowboys down here,
but talking about them is exactly what their owner wants.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
So here we are. Look.
Speaker 10 (36:04):
My two cents on what happened yesterday and really what's
been going on there for a long time is that
the situation is both absurd and tragic for different reasons.
It's absurd because the next head coach of an NFL team,
someone who's worked their whole life towards this is going
to work for an owner slash GM, whose highlight of
the year was appearing on a TV show with Billy
(36:25):
Bob Thornton and Don Draper. It's tragic because of the
fact that if, and that's a big if, if the
Cowboys ever win a Super Bowl while Jerry Jones is
still alive and involved, the discussion is actually going to
be about whatever coach GM or quarterback was able to
overcome their owner and win in spite of him, not
(36:46):
because of him. It's absurd and tragic all at the
same time. And yet we can't stop watching.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Yeah, but we're talking about it today because you have
a coaching they can see like you have to factor
that in. I normally don't go out of my way
to try to talk about the Cowboys. I don't try
to work them in every single day any angle possible.
But today it warrants that until they If Dion goes there,
that's big news. No matter who they get. If they
(37:13):
get Kellen Moore and they take him from the Eagles,
that's big news. This is a coaching vacancy. There's added
intrigue because it's Jerry Jones. Who's he going to bring in.
Is it somebody who's going to be a puppet government
or are they going to stand up to him? Are
they going to be able to coach how they want
to coach? Can they make decisions? I'm curious about that,
But I'll go back to what we've been talking about
(37:35):
all morning long. You're going to bring in a coach,
and you're going to ask that coach, how do you
make this team a winner with the limitations of Dak
Prescott injury prone thirty two and you owe Hi two
hundred and thirty one million dollars. That to me is
the ultimate question here. Jim Nant's on the program tomorrow.
(37:55):
Robert Griffin Junior the Third will join us as well.
The poll results then, will do this day in sports history?
Try to sneak in a couple more phone calls. Seaton
Robert Griffith Junior the third is the Cowboys head coaching
job desirable? Your options are yes or no?
Speaker 7 (38:14):
Right now, that's at about seventy eight percent are saying
no to that one.
Speaker 4 (38:19):
That's a big gig.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
But man, you're taking blame. Fun. You're not gonna get credit.
You're gonna get blame unless you're a bigger person like
Dion would get credit. He's a bigger personality. Mike McCarthy's not.
He's not gonna win the Charisma Award, and Jerry's gonna
come in and he'll take a victory line if they
happen in his lifetime to get another Super Bowl.
Speaker 7 (38:42):
Yes, this is a fun one too. We have another
poll question up there. I don't know that we've ever
had results like this before. Who had a worse day?
Sam Donald or Mike McCarthy. Right now, Sam Donald has
ninety nine percent of the pot. I don't think that's
that credit happen.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Yeah, I think the Cowboys put Mike McCarthy out of
his misery. I think it's like, all right, I coached
the Cowboys for five years. We had a couple of
good seasons, did my best. We didn't give up this
year we certainly could have. And hopefully he lives to
see another coaching head coaching John this day in sports history, Paul.
Speaker 4 (39:23):
Here's a couple of good ones.
Speaker 5 (39:24):
Nineteen forty eight, plastic helmets were prohibited in the NFL.
Not in forty seven they were fine with them. Then
he used to have plastic helmets and face masks. Nineteen
fifty one, the first All Star Game was played in
the NFL in Los Angeles. Nineteen fifty four, Marilyn Monroe
and Joe DiMaggio were married. The marriage lasted blank months,
blank months, three six nine months.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
I got the over either way. They eloped, Marilynd and
Joe eloped.
Speaker 5 (39:56):
That's that's the biggest star partnership in sports history, right,
the level of fame of those two people when they
were together, best baseball player in the world, probably most
famous woman in America.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Okay, back to you give that a little thought. But yeah,
nineteen seventy four, the World Football League was founded. Seventy six.
Speaker 5 (40:18):
Ted Turner bought the Atlanta Braves Barry Bonds in two
thousand and two, signed a five year deal for ninety
million dollars.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Yeah. The Dolphins won the Super Bowl in this date
in nineteen seventy three, and they ended up with a
seventeen and oh record, And we're reminded of that every
single year. Yeay, yay, all right, Jim Nance tomorrow, Robert
(40:45):
Griffin Junior the third will join us. Let's go around
the room. What we learned on the program back left, Fritzi,
would you learn today Mark sinchez winging it at two
forty plus says, hey, don't have a dad, bod, it's
a father figure. Forty two to forty two. Dingo, ding
Thank you, Satan. Would you learn today? Mark Sanchez looking
(41:06):
for names?
Speaker 3 (41:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (41:08):
Uh for his fish and chips on the list right now,
but not looking good?
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Marvin? How about you?
Speaker 4 (41:14):
John Riggins only made one Pro Bowl?
Speaker 2 (41:17):
Yeah, and made the Hall of Fame, Paul? Would you
learn today?
Speaker 4 (41:19):
The twins are identical?
Speaker 2 (41:22):
How about ham and eggs? Yeah, you know something like that? Yeah,
Swiss cheese, Todd you got any I gotta work on that.
Thanks for joining us. We appreciate the support. We'll try
to do better tomorrow. Have a great day, everybody,
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Final Hour.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
In this Tuesday, Man, this is just flown by. We
talked about the Vikings moving forward, how dangerous the Rams are,
and we also talked about the Dallas Cowboys situation. Is
the Dion to the Cowboys a real story? We talked
to Tim Callishaw. Tim has been in Dallas writing about
the Cowboys for over twenty five years. He said he
didn't think it was now Jerry reaching out to Dion
(00:28):
and he might do that as a friend of friend,
and say, what do you think you move on from
Mike McCarthy Reportedly you were going to give him a
one year deal, which is a slap in the face.
You're basically saying, you know what, Mike, you can move
on from this. But if you're willing to take a
one year deal, then great, I'll still be the owner
and the coach of this team. And Mike McCarthy probably thought,
(00:51):
you know, five years, you know, it's like dog years,
So it's not just five years that you coach the Cowboys.
It's more than that. And as Tim Callishaw pointed it
out in his column, and I'll read it again because
it really sets the tone of what whoever is coming
in there for the Cowboys, this is what you're up against.
So this was part of his column that this was
(01:12):
towards the end of it, and he's talking about how
Dak Prescott is injury prone. He's thirty two, he can't
run anymore. He had twenty four rushing yards through seven games.
Then against Atlanta rushed for thirty yards on three carries.
Next thing you know, he's having surgery on his hamstring.
Done for the year. So that's twenty six games he's
(01:33):
missed in the last five seasons, just short of a
third the Cowboys schedule. So he's immobile and injury prone,
and you owe him a guaranteed two hundred and thirty
one million dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
How do you.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Fix this team? If you can't fix Dak Prescott, who's
best equipped to do that? Now, you can bring in
Cliff Kingsbary, you can bring in Ben Jon. I mean,
they can't make Dak healthier, they can't make him younger,
they can't make him cheaper. So this is going to
be the ninth coaching hire and Jerry Jones is spinning
(02:07):
his wheels on the one story to now Laughingstock franchise
one more time. So that's Tim Callishaw Dallas Morning News.
That's the reality of this. You can say, boy, it's
a great job, you're the Cowboys head coach.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
It's not a great job. It's a prestigious job. It's
got a spotlight on you. And there's a difference. It's
like the Yankee manager. Now, is it a great job?
I think it used to be a great job. Is
it still a great job. It's a prestigious job. You're
the manager of the Yankees. Now you don't have the
(02:42):
front office getting involved with the Yankees the way they
once did with George Steinbrenner. But Jerry Jones is George Steinbrenner.
He's always meddling, always got to be involved. Now, George
Steinbrenner wasn't doing two radio shows a week. He wasn't
there after each game doing an interview. Now, maybe the
new you know, the new era, George Steinbrenner would be
(03:05):
doing a couple of radio shows. But Jerry Jones is
addicted to this. He loves it. He and I think
that's why he drags this out. I truly think he
loves these stories where the cowboys are always you know,
they're they're the tail wagging the dog. All of these
shows this morning, turn on one of these shows. What
(03:28):
are they talking about cowboys? Well, we talk about when
we need to talk about the cowboys. And now you'll
have a real day here where they need a head coach.
Is Dion involved? Well, you throw Dion in here and
all of a sudden, you got some magic you can
talk about that. You can dine out on that for
a long time. And that's why I asked Tim Callishaw,
(03:49):
did he think it was real? Jerry Jones and Dion
are good friends, reportedly good friends, and he might have said, now,
who does this benefit? It benefits both, like somebody had
to leak this because let's say I call Paulie. Well,
I don't if I didn't tell anybody else. But then
Fritzy says, hey, I heard you talk to Paul. Well,
(04:12):
that came from Paul. That's how this works. I'm going
to talk to Dion. Then I would say, hey, let's
just keep this between ourselves. Well he didn't want to
Dion benefits. What if Dion says, hey, I said to Jerry,
I'm not interested. I'm interested in coaching Colorado. Well, that
goes over really well with your recruits. But you turned
(04:35):
down the Cowboys to continue to coach us and Jerry,
it's like, you know what, once again, it's the tail
wagging the dog. All this publicity they're talking about my team. Now,
that doesn't mean they're talking positively about your team, but
as people make the mistake, any publicity is good publicity.
That's not true. But for Jerry, I think he thinks
(04:58):
it is. Yes, Marvin, question is what does Lebron think
about this?
Speaker 4 (05:03):
And Taylor Swift?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Oh that's good eight seven seven three DP show email
address Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle the DP show Mark
Sanchez if Fox Sports will join us? Coming up the Rams.
They rolled the Vikings. Literally they had nine sacks against
Sam Darnold and all of a sudden, Sam darnald future
is in jeopardy. In question, Paully wants to play the
(05:30):
Sam Donald game? And who wouldn't want to play the
Sam Donald game. I'm not sure what the rules are,
but I'm ready to play.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Here we go, Dan, this is the part Sam Darnald game.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Oh, you have to tell me what team he's on
next year and what his salary for next season will be.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
So we're gonna help it out here.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
So let's say he signs a contract of three years
ninety million with team blank, and your guest say, he's
going to make thirty million next season. We're giving that
to you. Sometimes it's pro rated. Blah blah Blahkay's very generous.
Greater trying to try to be friendly. Who would like
to go first team and salary for Sam Donald.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Let's go around the room, Todd, I'm gonna say Titans
two years, forty one point five million.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Actually, no, he's gonna make fair.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
He'll gets fifty eight point five million.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
That was not the game. It was next year's salary
for Sam Darnold. But you got the team right.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
He'll make thirty five million dollars with the Titan. Okay, wait,
did did Todd cheat off your paper? Seaton?
Speaker 3 (06:37):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I don't think he cheated off my paper.
Speaker 7 (06:39):
I mean there's a couple of like what seemed like
more obvious ones.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Titans was high on my list. Okay, I'm not gonna
say the Titans. I'm gonna go with.
Speaker 7 (06:48):
The Las Vegas Raiders of Oaklubo.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Took Marvin's guess.
Speaker 7 (06:58):
Ther Vegas Ray of Oakland, and I believe he's going
to get a three year deal worth ninety five million dollars.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Okay, Now if they take are the Titans and the
Raiders off the board, Paul, I can't guess.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
We could do it that way to press Marvin and I.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Well, no, I want you going with what you think, Like,
what's the correct answer here in your opinion?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Marvin?
Speaker 6 (07:28):
The Las Vegas Raiders at forty and a half million
dollars a year.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Forty and a half million, all right, Paul? Sam Donald
is where next year?
Speaker 5 (07:38):
I'm going to go with the Indianapolis Colts and he'll
make thirty six million dollars next year.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Okay, Colts.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I'm going to say the Minnesota Vikings at thirty five
million dollars.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
A year, and that's a Sam Donald gap.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Actually, I have to.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Take it's not the thirty.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
That's why.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
No, it's not done yet. Okay, wait, I'm changing my answer.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Can you do that once the game is over?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Well?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
No, I don't know. If I was finished here. I
had my Eraser Mulligan, my number two pency. Whatever happened
to number one pencil? Why did we go to number two?
And that's what they sell at Crappensburg State, a lot
of number two pencils. I'm going to say the Vikings
(08:26):
at forty one and a half million dollars. Yeah, are
you not a good one?
Speaker 4 (08:32):
I'm a terrible whistler.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
You should take that immediately, Sam Donald.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
If that's the other yeah, so be a one and done.
That's the Sam Donald game.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
Yeah, it's an oddly optimistic Sam Donald game.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yeah it is. I think we're we're leaning positive.
Speaker 7 (08:53):
We had the whole question up there who had worst
day yesterday? Mike McCarthy or Sam Donald. I'm gonna let
you guess who is currently getting ninety four percent.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Of the vote, Sam Darnold.
Speaker 7 (09:04):
Yes, although on our poll couster we have him listed
as Sam Arnold, which it's possible Sam Arnold also had.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
A bad day.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
But that's uh, well, you would the Rams put the
d in. Oh I didn't see that playing. I was
I didn't watch all again it was a quarterback sneak. Yes, oh,
Dear Dad of the day. Brought to you by Penniny America,
the official official trading cards to the Dan Patrick Show
(09:37):
Big Ten Basketball Live on NBC in Peacock it's Oregon
and Purdue. That's January eighteenth on NBC in Peacock. I
was watching basketball last night. I think it might have
Rutgers in Ucla. Did that started like six o'clock because
I wanted to see Rutgers has two lottery picks, and uh,
(09:57):
I wanted to see Mick Cronin melt down on the sidelines,
and he did a pretty good job yelling and screaming nightly. Wow, Mick,
how about some composure. But Rutgers has two lottery they
have two of the five best players I believe, or
five top five players that'll be drafted. And I think
(10:20):
they're eight and eight on the season. Yes, Mart, we're
lax DP.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
They're nine and eight now, oh okay, with the win,
they're two and four in the Big Ten. So they
might not make the Big Ten tournament. Right now, they're
like seventeenth in the Big Ten with two top five
picks probably.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
So you have Ace Bailey and then you have Dylan Harper.
Dylan Harper who's Ron Harper's son, and they're really good,
but for some reason the team isn't really good.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Yes, Paul, I love a classic Big Ten matchup like
Rutgers versus UCLA a weeknight like my kids used to watch.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
But I think also they were talking you had that,
and then you had USC was playing somebody, you know,
not that classic Big ten matchup. But yeah, I'm just
flipping through, and all of a sudden, I got Mick
Cronin on the sidelines yelling and screaming, and I go,
all right, I'm gonna watch this for a little bit.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
Yes, Mark La market versus the New York market, that's
what they wanted when they got Rutgers.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yeah, you want Rutgers. That's that New York market because
nobody loves Rutgers sports like the New York market does.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
New Brunswick and westwoody're right near chat. What's the problem.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that had great success. I actually called
a basketball game at the Rack many many many years
ago in the mother Ship. Great environment. Uh they weren't
a very good team, but great environment there. Let's see
Gabe in South Carolina. Hi, Gabe, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 8 (11:47):
You know, I got six I got two things street Dan.
But first I'd like to shout out my three month
old baby, little Bucky a Buck and Dan, I'd like
to suggest that we renamed the Most Valuable Caller Award Gabe.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Gabe is is Bucky that his birth name and that's
on birth certificate.
Speaker 8 (12:09):
No, it's Hunter. But he likes this cup that I
bought from the BUCkies gas station, So I call him
buck Slash BUCkies.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Okay, But what if the cup was called something else?
Would you have called him like I don't Stanley? Yeah, sure, yeah,
I like that about y Would you call him Yetti
if he was chewing on a Yetti cup?
Speaker 8 (12:36):
He doesn't chew on it. He just stares at it
and smiles at it. Oh yeah, I'll call him Yetty,
He'll be.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yetti all right? All right?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
So Most Valuable Caller the award that we handed out
to I think James in Virginia.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
I think we should name it after James in Virginia
because if we have it every year, just up for everyone,
James is gonna win it every year.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
He's too good.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Dan Well, it feels gets Christ and Syracuse that it
should be the Christen Syracuse Award won by James in Virginia.
Like Christ and Syracuse emeritis, he was when we would
tell people, you want to be a professional caller, listen
to christ and Syracuse, Hey fellas, and then he would
go right into his question and then that was it.
(13:18):
So James and Virginia winning the coveted Christ and Syracuse
Caller of the Year award.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
Yes, Mark, if it's the most shocking caller, then it
could be the James and Virginia Award.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
So you find out because Amy found out he was white.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
Yeah, you find out Andy's black?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Oh man, the James and Virginia Award. I know it
was one of those where and I always love seeing
Marvin's face when Andy called in and then Andy from
Buffalo I believe Island for Syracuse, oh Rhode Island, and
he says that he's black, and then you can see
Marvin like, I'm not going to fall for this. We
thought James and Virginia was black. And then all of
(13:56):
a sudden, he sends in a picture. So James and
Virginia sends in a picture. It's him and two black guys,
and Marvin's like, which black guy is James? And then
James started speaking on the video. Marvin's like, no, no,
he can't be black. James in Virginia.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Anything's possible.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
David in Ohio, Hey, David, what's on your mind?
Speaker 9 (14:21):
Hey Dan, good morning. I saw DJ McCarthy tweet out
this Latin phrase and more fatigue, which means fate of love.
So I wanted your take on that, and I think
it would be good content. We can get Shane Irving
on his take on.
Speaker 10 (14:37):
Mike McCarthy.
Speaker 9 (14:39):
Getting parting ways with the Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
So thanks, all right, well, thank you, David.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah, I don't speak Latin, I barely speak English. So
and then as far as Shyan Irving, he's got to
be happy that they're moving on from Mike McCarthy. I'm
surprised we didn't hear from him, but once again, this
is a new year, a new Shay. He's trying to
be more mature, a better father, a better husband.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
Yes, I did see a tweet from Shay that said
God is good yesterday. I'm not sure exactly what he
was referencing there, but I do know that figuring out
the Cowboys head coaching situation was very high on God's
priority list.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
It could have been just a coincidence, though, that God
is good and they move on from Mike McCartney. Oh
all right, let me take a break. We'll come back.
Mark Sanchez on loan from Fox Sports. Tom Brady called
it a game, a shout out for eating a hot
dog on the sidelines and a win against the Raiders

Speaker 2 (16:58):
More phone calls coming out. Everybody's fired up about the
Vikings situation. Kevin mccarth Kevin O'Connell's role in the offense here,
could he have protected Sam Donald? Did the Vikings want
Sam Donald? Who won Sam Donald on the open market?
The Cowboys situation. Jerry Jones deon Sanders. By the way,
(17:18):
Matthew Stafford pretty economical. He threw for two to nine
and two touchdowns. He did have the all time passing
yards per playoff game. He had the highest number of
three hundred and eight yards, so this is minimum at
least four playoff games. So now he's down to ninety
seven in his playoff career. Dan Fouts is second Kurt
(17:42):
Warner the all time leader at three hundred and four yards.
Dan Fouts three to Zho three, Drew Brees two ninety eight,
and then you have Matthew Stafford at two ninety seven.
I'm looking at the point spreads. Before we get to
Mark Sanchez. The Texans are getting seven and a half
against the Chiefs Commanders, nine and a half against the Lions.
The Rams are getting six against the Eagles, and the
(18:05):
Ravens are getting giving one and a half to the
Buffalo Bills. We make way for our friend. He's Mark Sanchez,
Fox Sports, joining us on the program. How good are
the Rams?
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Cool?
Speaker 13 (18:18):
I think they're an excellent young team that is peaking
at the right time. And stude I already forgot Sorry,
good morning, Danets, and where are you?
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Six six?
Speaker 13 (18:32):
I'm in Hawaii. Actually, my wife's we got two twins.
We got twins on the way, so we're doing a
little trip before she can't travel anymore, and then we'll
be in dad mode and wife mode and baby mode
for most of the offseason. So this is our chance
to get away. But I'm not going to miss you guys.
Sixty three coach, I'm getting a little heavy by the
(18:54):
end of the season. I've been eating a little too much.
I don't read on the sidelines. I eat hot dogs
on the sidelines and they like two right now, so
I need.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
To trim up.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Oh wow, okay, but Ray shout you out though, Mark
with the Yeah, I remember seeing.
Speaker 13 (19:10):
It Texas during the game. I texted Dured the game
and he texted me back like a quarter later, just
with one of those funny emojis. Yeah, you know, messing around.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
With each other.
Speaker 13 (19:19):
But it's, uh, it's been cool to watch, you know.
And when you see other players doing what you're doing
and watch them grow throughout the season, it's, uh, it's
pretty fun.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Okay, go back to eating the hot dog. Yeah, so
you you blew out the Raiders and you're eating a
hot dog on the sidelines. Did you catch any heat
from anybody?
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Oh my god? Yeah.
Speaker 13 (19:40):
So we we win three straight. This is my rookie year.
We win three straight. Then we lose like four straight.
We go to California. I'm back home. It's in Oakland.
We're playing the Raiders at the Old Coliseum and my
whole family's coming to the game. My mom actually got
a beer dumped on her by a Raiders fan that
game him because we were beating.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Him so bad.
Speaker 13 (20:01):
And my brothers almost went to jail because they had
to like throw this guy off over her. It was creaty.
It was crazy like classic Raiders game. So then I
wouldn't I couldn't eat. Like the night before and the
day of, I was just like so in my head
and so upset and couldn't figure out what was going on,
why we're losing, you know, trying to get better whatever,
and I just didn't eat. So those guys on the
(20:23):
sidelines that have white shirts and blue shorts, they have
like one little NFL logo. They're like kind of like
ball boys. They do like water stuff whatever, And so
I just looked at one of them and I go, hey, dide,
you got any food? Because I got pulled out of
the game. I said, do you have any food? And
he's like, you mean like a power bar or like
a something like that. I was like, I don't know anything.
Can you run up to concessions. I'll take a hot dog,
(20:44):
I'll take a burger, like whatever you got. He goes, yeah, dude,
i'll get dog. I'll grab you a dog. And so
he ran up, goes and gets a hot dog. Is
he's running away, I'm like, yo, grab some mustard, he
runs up, gets the mustard and then you see the
whole deal where you know Dan Deirdore and it was
gumble I think Gumble Rip was calling the game, but
(21:06):
they they had the camera on me and they caught me.
But back to your question about the Rams, because I've
had them a couple times this year. I'm so impressed
with Chris Shula and this defensive coordinator. You know, you
lose your defensive coordinator Raheem Morris to Atlanta and he
takes over the job and people think like, oh yeah,
first year, Well he's been there for eight years with
(21:27):
Sean McVay knows exactly what this offense is, what this
team looks like, how it's supposed to fit together, and
the way they've drafted and developed. You got to, you know,
tip your caps a less need and this defensive staff
because it's incredible. I mean Byron Young at one point
he was working at like a dollar General and then
(21:49):
ended up getting his chance to play at Tennessee wherever
he went, and he wears the number zero, he said,
because that's how many people believe in me.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
And this dude's making.
Speaker 13 (21:57):
Great plays out there. Whether you get Kobe turn from
Wake Forest, who was originally at Richmond, then goes to
Wake Forest for his senior year. The dudes a captain
for the LA Rams defense his second year in the league. Like,
that's pretty impressive stuff. And then you put in these
two rookies that Reek Taboc last year on the Florida
State defense that basically had him undefeated, and it's you know,
(22:20):
fisk and verse, and so they were able to generate
pressure without bringing five or six players a lot. They
did it occasionally. You saw the Kobe Durant pressure. But
when you can do it with four, that's a defensive
coordinator's dream. You could just sit back, play coverage, generate
your pressure with four and force that quarterback to get
rid of the ball. You got plenty of guys in coverage,
(22:43):
and I mean you got to give them.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
All their due.
Speaker 13 (22:45):
They really really played well in that game. And to
Stafford's point, you were talking about all those yards, it
wasn't going to be that kind of day.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
It wasn't going to be a.
Speaker 13 (22:53):
Throw for three to fifty type day, five touchdowns, you know, yeah,
thirty five of forty, it's not that day. And for
him to understand the formula to win that football game,
the way we're gonna get after him on defense. That's
what they talk about when you say complimentary football, that's
what they're talking about. When teams understand that, know how
to play that game, and sometimes it's time to just
cut bait, move on with your life. You don't have
(23:14):
to take the shot downfield. And obviously Matthew Stafford knows that.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Okay, but let me look at the Viking situation. You
just got manhandled by the lines the previous game. You
know the Rams are going to look at that blueprint
and say, all right, let's just see can we bring
four and put pressure on him and make him uncomfortable.
We had Kurt Warner on last hour and Kurt said, hey,
I wasn't mobile, but I knew when to get rid
(23:40):
of the ball. Sacks are not all created equal here,
So what should the Vikings have done to mitigate the
damage or certainly the pressure on Sam.
Speaker 13 (23:51):
Okay, this is an extreme example, but remember in the
game when Stafford dumped the ball out.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Yeah, and people, oh, it's intentional grounding, intentioning. Do you
understand his level of understoning all of his where.
Speaker 13 (24:08):
All of his pieces are at all times and being
able to get hit close your eyes, still have that
picture in your head of exactly where all the chess
pieces are, and to just flip that ball out knowing
you're going to get the ball where you're supposed to
get the ball.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
I'm not getting sack. I am not.
Speaker 13 (24:26):
I refuse to take negative plays. So sometimes when you'd
see you know, even Peyton Manning Tom Brady immediately catch
the ball, boom, it's not right and either fall down
instead of going back another five yards, or literally just
rifle the ball at somebody's ankle.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
You're like, what the hell was that? Well, they know
it's not worth it. You got me.
Speaker 13 (24:47):
I know when to hold them, I know when to
fold them. Kenny Rodgers right like the gambler. I know
how to play this game. And those kind of things
are where Stafford is operating at an elite level. And
Sam is still learning some of those things. And it's
tough because some of those are on him. Some of
those he could have got the ball out earlier. And
(25:09):
in big games like that, we say this all the time,
you know. I think Pete Carroll was incredible about reminding
us of these big moments and all the commercials and
all the hype surrounding this game makes this game feel bigger.
Same size field, same size ball, same rules except for overtime.
So what are we doing? We go back to our fundamentals.
(25:33):
We know when to get rid of the ball, we
know when to hold them, when to fold them. Let's
go play some ball and Sam you know, unfortunately he's
just got to continue to learn.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
But hell of a year.
Speaker 13 (25:42):
I just feel bad because the last two games, that
recency bias is going to crush him when it comes to,
you know, contract negotiations this offseason. That that knocked them
down a couple of rungs. But you know clearly he
can play. Now you get them to that next level.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
If you're Minnesota, do you like what do you think
Sam Donald's future is? Where is it? Well?
Speaker 13 (26:03):
I think now it might be better for Minnesota financially,
you know, because you start negotiating at a different number
than you might have if he won the last two games, right,
or he would have won. To love sat out this year, yeah,
sure that you totally can if you love McCarthy and
then you got to bring in another veteran or you
keep Daniel Jones who's on the roster and have him
(26:24):
be your veteran and then potentially be like Sam Donald
next year. Like there's they have plenty of options. The
big the big questions are all the free agents they
got on defense. I think Joe Buck might have said
it last night, but I think Mattellis is the only
one in that back end in their secondary and linebacker
group that's even on contract for the next year. So
they got like six free agents there there were a
(26:47):
critical part of their success. So I think it's not
just a quarterback. There's Kevin O'Connell shown he can play
well with a lot of different quarterbacks already, whether it's
you know the past or not, whether it's Kirk Cousins,
whether it's Sam Darnold, you know they can do He
can do it. So now it's okay, how do we
win that first playoff game? They got to get out
(27:08):
of the wildcard round or get the first round by
and win a divisional They just got to win a
playoff game, and then you know, what are we doing
on defense? Who's going to play for us at quarterback?
I think those are great questions. But now I think
if anything, if anybody has the leverage, it might be
Minnesota a little more than.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Sam Mark Sanchez father and waiting joining us one from
a Fox Sports. You know you're competitive guy, Tom Brady
is Tom Brady, But do you feel you're a better
analyst than Tom Brady?
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa careful now, careful listen. And I
hope Tom would pay you.
Speaker 13 (27:43):
But you got to feel like I feel like, if
you're if you're playing quarterback, or if you're going to
compete at anything, you got to feel like you're the
best or you shouldn't be doing it, in my opinion.
But that's just the way I was weird. That's just
kind of the way, you know, we grew up. When
you step into the booth, you step in beat between
the white lines, you step on the court, you're the
baddest dude out there. And if you don't think like that,
(28:07):
it's not gonna go well and it's not even worth
your time. So of course I think, you know, I
can do this better than anybody. But I'm sure Troy
Agman thinks that, I'm sure Tom Brady thinks that, and
they're all really really good. And at the end of
the day too, when it comes to you know, this
announcing game, it's a little different than you know, as
as a quarterback, you have a record next to your name,
(28:28):
you have a completion percentage, you know, you throw for yards, touchdowns,
You get all these stats. Wasn't an announcer. You get
a bunch of opinions about either you're.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Good or not. Well, what makes you good? I don't know.
Speaker 13 (28:40):
You might like chocolate ice cream. I might like vanilla
ice cream. We both think they're good, so you know
what I mean. So it's pretty subjective when you get
to the announcing stuff. The thing that I do appreciate though,
and this is kind of a Fox thing that I've
really you know, leaned into and looked up and kind
of researched. But like when McMillan and Madden and you know,
(29:03):
all these old school broadcasters were together on the Fox team,
they would collaborate because what happens is you have crossover tape.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
So think about it.
Speaker 13 (29:11):
You have a sixteen to eighteen game season, and you
call the New Orleans Saints week two, and then you
have the New Orleans Saints at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
week eighteen. Well, if you haven't seen New Orleans for
sixteen weeks, that is a completely different ball club, and
those narratives going into week two have changed in week eighteen.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
So it was interesting.
Speaker 13 (29:34):
Before the last game of the season, we're together, actually
in the same place by happenstance. But I see Tom
and he's working out. I'm working out, and he's like, Hey,
I got the Saints. You just called their game this
past weekend in New Orleans. What's the word? Talk to
me about him a little bit. You had him versus
the commander's boom. Now he's got the commanders. So we're
just talking and sharing ideas and stuff, and hey, man,
(29:56):
here's what I saw, Here's where I think they got
to get better. Here's what they're having albums with, Here's
what they do really well. And this, this to me
is their formula to win.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
You know.
Speaker 13 (30:04):
So when you watch the tape, i'd keep an eye
on stuff like that. And he does the same thing
in uh, you know, back and forth and look good.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
But but who can bench more between you and Tom Brady?
Speaker 3 (30:14):
A bench more? Yeah? Oh man, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
No, he's he's he's all about him last year.
Speaker 13 (30:22):
He's not a big like bench Yeah, he's not a
big yeah. Pliability all the bands and stuff yeah, I'll
tell you what he He was.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Getting it in that workout, though. Bro.
Speaker 13 (30:31):
I walked into the gym and I was like, I
need a stretch. I just got off a flight, I
had just arrived. I walked in with a pizza and sandals,
and my man's over there like full billy blanks, like ty.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Bow going hundred miles now.
Speaker 13 (30:44):
I was like whoa. And then I finally realized it
with him. I was like, who is this guy? Like
what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Oh? Sorry? Got it? What's up? Dude?
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Does Tom have a bunch of around him that they
remind him how Grady looks like, no.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
No, no, he's you know, he's gotta. He's gotta.
Speaker 13 (31:00):
He's got a good group of people, and you know
the trainer, you know he's got. I'm over there just
thinking back to my old workouts, like, yeah, I think
I'm supposed to do.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
That's why you weigh to Mark.
Speaker 13 (31:12):
Easy coach, We're not body shaving here, We're not body shaving.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
This is okay, out of dad bod. This is a
father figure.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Okay, Yeah, that's hot. Final minute here. Cowboys job is blank.
The Cowboys job is blank?
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Interesting, wild available.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
I mean those aren't compliments.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
I don't know. I don't know who's best suited to
take that job.
Speaker 13 (31:48):
Because if you go Dion, I think there's like he's
started to catch up to that learning curve of coaching
in college and clearly made progress. Right you can you
can tangibly like there's more wins than the year before.
He got good players there, he knows how to motivate
those kind of things. He's gonna need some really good
coordinators if he's going to stay that same mode. Unless
(32:11):
he just goes hardcore coordinate the offense or coordinate the defense,
he's going to be more of a delegator when it
comes to responsibilities coordinating wise. So I love that it'll
give them a ton of attention. It'll give them you know,
it'll that star will be shining awfully bright, which I
know Jerry likes. But if we're talking about somebody who's
(32:32):
maybe a little more plug and play and obviously less
you know, media fodder and less you know, stuff like that,
less energy that way, I mean, how about a guy
who grew up in the building, who's done so well
for you, who's over in Philly in your division, light
in the world on fire and killing Moore. I mean,
(32:53):
I'm just I just don't know if they do it,
because it almost admits that they made a mistake by
letting him go and keep carsy at that point. Right,
So either way, this defense, I mean, you're gonna blow
up this defense no matter what you're paying, Dack, you're
paying CD might want to figure out how to disburge
some of that money a little bit. Got to revamp
the O line a little bit, but that defense was
(33:14):
gonna get blown up no matter what I mean.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
They were. They were hard to watch at times. They
give up a lot of big plays.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Before I let you go. The Bills Ravens game comes
down to.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Turnovers.
Speaker 13 (33:25):
If Josh Allen takes care of the ball the way
he does and the way he's running it, that was
their only achilles heel these last few years in the playoffs.
It would be one bad fumble, one mistake down the
field trying to force the ball. If he plays turnover
free football, which Joe Brady's got him doing. Their offensive coordinator.
It's and you notice they're using Cook a lot more
(33:47):
at the running back spot, not just running the ball,
but catching the ball in the backfield. Josh has really
stepped up his game, and it's really just cutting down
the mistakes and eliminating those turnovers. You look at a Stafford,
you look at Josh Allen. The guys that play the
best this time of the year, take care of the football, safe.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Travels, good luck. The twins coming up, and you got names.
Speaker 13 (34:11):
No, I'd like a poll question on that though, because
they're identical twin girls. So we're gonna need, you know,
some good ones. Giselle, my son wants to name him
Fish and Chips. I told him that's a tough sell.
Please meet my daughter Fish. Like what, So I need
(34:33):
Fritzy on that I need. I need the boys helping out.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
I need the day.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
I don't think you don't need Fritzy on that.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
No, you don't.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
We'll come up with some.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Yeah, thank you, Mark, appreciate you, guys. Mark Sanchez, Fox,
NFL analyst, former NFL quarterback as well identical twins girls. Mmm, yes,
I have a question after the break about helping twins. Okay,
we're gonna take a break. Last call for phone calls.
(35:01):
What we learn, what's in store tomorrow this day in
sports history.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
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 (35:16):
Last Call for phone calls, what we learn, what's in
store tomorrow? Each seven to seven to three DP show. Yeah,
that's a quick show. Yeah, a lot of topics. Don't
know what we solved today, but we did spend three
hours with you or vice versa. Hopefully you stayed with us.
But the Dion situation with the Cowboys, also Sam Darnold's
(35:38):
future with Minnesota, and as we get closer to these
matchups coming up this weekend, we'll dive into that as well.
Also have the National Title Game to preview coming up
as well, Lucas and Texas. Hi, Luke, what's on your
mind today? Hey day, good morning, good morning.
Speaker 10 (35:57):
Look, Hey, I'm no lover of the Cowboys down here,
but talking about them is exactly what their owner wants.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
So here we are. Look.
Speaker 10 (36:04):
My two cents on what happened yesterday and really what's
been going on there for a long time is that
the situation is both absurd and tragic for different reasons.
It's absurd because the next head coach of an NFL team,
someone who's worked their whole life towards this is going
to work for an owner slash GM, whose highlight of
the year was appearing on a TV show with Billy
(36:25):
Bob Thornton and Don Draper. It's tragic because of the
fact that if, and that's a big if, if the
Cowboys ever win a Super Bowl while Jerry Jones is
still alive and involved, the discussion is actually going to
be about whatever coach GM or quarterback was able to
overcome their owner and win in spite of him, not
(36:46):
because of him. It's absurd and tragic all at the
same time. And yet we can't stop watching.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Yeah, but we're talking about it today because you have
a coaching they can see like you have to factor
that in. I normally don't go out of my way
to try to talk about the Cowboys. I don't try
to work them in every single day any angle possible.
But today it warrants that until they If Dion goes there,
that's big news. No matter who they get. If they
(37:13):
get Kellen Moore and they take him from the Eagles,
that's big news. This is a coaching vacancy. There's added
intrigue because it's Jerry Jones. Who's he going to bring in.
Is it somebody who's going to be a puppet government
or are they going to stand up to him? Are
they going to be able to coach how they want
to coach? Can they make decisions? I'm curious about that,
But I'll go back to what we've been talking about
(37:35):
all morning long. You're going to bring in a coach,
and you're going to ask that coach, how do you
make this team a winner with the limitations of Dak
Prescott injury prone thirty two and you owe Hi two
hundred and thirty one million dollars. That to me is
the ultimate question here. Jim Nant's on the program tomorrow.
(37:55):
Robert Griffin Junior the Third will join us as well.
The poll results then, will do this day in sports history?
Try to sneak in a couple more phone calls. Seaton
Robert Griffith Junior the third is the Cowboys head coaching
job desirable? Your options are yes or no?
Speaker 7 (38:14):
Right now, that's at about seventy eight percent are saying
no to that one.
Speaker 4 (38:19):
That's a big gig.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
But man, you're taking blame. Fun. You're not gonna get credit.
You're gonna get blame unless you're a bigger person like
Dion would get credit. He's a bigger personality. Mike McCarthy's not.
He's not gonna win the Charisma Award, and Jerry's gonna
come in and he'll take a victory line if they
happen in his lifetime to get another Super Bowl.
Speaker 7 (38:42):
Yes, this is a fun one too. We have another
poll question up there. I don't know that we've ever
had results like this before. Who had a worse day?
Sam Donald or Mike McCarthy. Right now, Sam Donald has
ninety nine percent of the pot. I don't think that's
that credit happen.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Yeah, I think the Cowboys put Mike McCarthy out of
his misery. I think it's like, all right, I coached
the Cowboys for five years. We had a couple of
good seasons, did my best. We didn't give up this
year we certainly could have. And hopefully he lives to
see another coaching head coaching John this day in sports history, Paul.
Speaker 4 (39:23):
Here's a couple of good ones.
Speaker 5 (39:24):
Nineteen forty eight, plastic helmets were prohibited in the NFL.
Not in forty seven they were fine with them. Then
he used to have plastic helmets and face masks. Nineteen
fifty one, the first All Star Game was played in
the NFL in Los Angeles. Nineteen fifty four, Marilyn Monroe
and Joe DiMaggio were married. The marriage lasted blank months,
blank months, three six nine months.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
I got the over either way. They eloped, Marilynd and
Joe eloped.
Speaker 5 (39:56):
That's that's the biggest star partnership in sports history, right,
the level of fame of those two people when they
were together, best baseball player in the world, probably most
famous woman in America.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Okay, back to you give that a little thought. But yeah,
nineteen seventy four, the World Football League was founded. Seventy six.
Speaker 5 (40:18):
Ted Turner bought the Atlanta Braves Barry Bonds in two
thousand and two, signed a five year deal for ninety
million dollars.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Yeah. The Dolphins won the Super Bowl in this date
in nineteen seventy three, and they ended up with a
seventeen and oh record, And we're reminded of that every
single year. Yeay, yay, all right, Jim Nance tomorrow, Robert
(40:45):
Griffin Junior the third will join us. Let's go around
the room. What we learned on the program back left, Fritzi,
would you learn today Mark sinchez winging it at two
forty plus says, hey, don't have a dad, bod, it's
a father figure. Forty two to forty two. Dingo, ding
Thank you, Satan. Would you learn today? Mark Sanchez looking
(41:06):
for names?
Speaker 3 (41:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (41:08):
Uh for his fish and chips on the list right now,
but not looking good?
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Marvin? How about you?
Speaker 4 (41:14):
John Riggins only made one Pro Bowl?
Speaker 2 (41:17):
Yeah, and made the Hall of Fame, Paul? Would you
learn today?
Speaker 4 (41:19):
The twins are identical?
Speaker 2 (41:22):

to do better tomorrow. Have a great day, everybody,
