Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final Hour on this Thursday. Just got word that Bob
Buker passed away at the age of ninety. We'll try
to put something together for tomorrow. I don't know if
we can do it in the final hour. Here bring
back some of the moments. I stayed in touch with
Yuke a lot. We started texting the last couple of years,
(00:25):
and even in the off season. I would just send
him a text saying I'm thinking of you. He always
would have something funny to say. But the age of
ninety and the number of people that he touched with
his humor, going back to when he'd be on The
Tonight Show and he would crack up Johnny Carson and
he was just you ask him something and he had
(00:46):
a great response. He was always fun. When we went
out to Milwaukee when we did the Sausage Race, we
got to spend some time with him, and he'll be
greatly greatly missed just having that sense of humor. Still
broadcasting games. He didn't do it on a nightly basis,
but he said last text that I had, he said,
(01:09):
let me know when you're swinging through Arizona. It'd be
fun to get together again. So Bob Yuker passing away
at the age of ninety. Yeah, Pulley.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
I always found it so almost underrated that he took
a subpar baseball career. I think he played five or
six years and wasn't that good when he played, and
parlaid it into a monstrous media career, movies and everybody
liked the guy. He was a household name. He's been
a household name, I mean, one of the more popular
liked people in sports and otherwise.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I love that story though. When he was asked about
catching a knuckleball, he said, it's not that difficult. You
just wait till it stops rolling and then you pick
it up. So and how do you catch a knuckleball? Oh,
it's true easy, you just wait till it stops rolling.
Because Yuke was a catcher and I did have this
(02:01):
he Let me see, here's one of my last responses
to him. Let me see if I've I've got that.
He talked about his batting average. No, let me see.
We'll get to ed Warder here in a moment ed
thanks for being patient. Let's see, he says, thanks for
(02:27):
checking in. Dan. Always good to hear from you. I
hope your crew is doing well. I finally got to
my batting average when he turned ninety and I said congrats,
and he said two ten with runners in scoring position.
We'll try to bring back you know, he was on
our show a few times, so we'll try to bring
(02:48):
back some of that humor. Uh, We'll have the backroom
guys try to find that for tomorrow. I saw a
tweet from ed Warder and of course always reading ed
Werder's tweets, and had something to do with the Cowboys.
Ed is a cowboy insider for w FAA TV in Dallas.
Had to do with Dion, had to do with Jerry Jones,
(03:11):
and maybe maybe this is actually in the on deck
circling could happen and Edward are kind of enough to
join us. So you pique my interest with this, So
explain what your tweet was all about.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
That was my one and only interest in tweeting Dan,
was to get your attention, thank you, and to have
an opportunity to make a long awaited guest appearance on
the show. If you want to play golf again, let
me know.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Yeah, so I've been I've been obviously following the Cowboys
you know for a long time, but you know, certainly
throughout this season and extending that coverage through the dismissal
of Mike McCarthy, which I think surprised a lot.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Of people, even those of us who cover the team
on a regular basis. And you know, when you start
to figuring a list of potential candidates to be the
next head coach, only in Dallas do you have to
make sure to include Dion Sanders and Jason Witten, former
Cowboys tight end great who Jerry is enamored with, who
(04:14):
has only coached at the high school level. Regarding Dion,
obviously we know that he has not yet formally interviewed
for the job. The Cowboys have extended invitations to Leslie
Frazier and Robert Salah to be the first two to
interview formerly for the job. But Dion told Adam Schefter
the other day that Jerry Jones reached out to him
(04:39):
and they discussed the job, and everything I continue to
be told Dan is that Jerry is interested. It was
described to me as he's enamored with the idea. Obviously,
it's hard to imagine any coaching candidate who could create
more interest someone that Jerry could more sell to the
(05:00):
and base here, which needs to happen and make Jerry
more money than Dion Sanders. I mean, he won a
Super Bowl here as a player. So there are also
people around Dion who tell me that he's being urged
by his supporters in Colorado to take the job, and
that they believe if Jerry ever does offer him the job,
(05:22):
that he will take. That he has an extension to
remain at Colorado on his desk that he hasn't even
looked at as he considers these other possibilities. But you know,
I mean, there are also people close to Dion who
tell me they don't see it happening, but they've seen
things happen with Jerry Jones that they didn't expect to
happen before. And he did hire Barry Switzer, So you
(05:47):
can't rule anything out. He's the most unpredictable owner in
the NFL on any subject, especially this one.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
But do you think that Jerry Jones had somebody in
mind when he was willing to let Mike McCarthy leave.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
I assume that Jerry's done this enough times. This is
his eighth time that he knows before you let somebody
who has some value. It has proven himself to the degree,
you know, Mike McCarthy has as a head coach in
this league with two different franchises that you're sure you're
going to get somebody who you think is going to
do a better job.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yeah, I man for some reason. And I was talking
to Tim Callishaw, of course he covers the Cowboys, and
he said Dion was treating this as if he was
offered the job.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
Like.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
His response was, Hey, I'm honored or humboled or whatever,
but I got work to do as if he was
getting the job offer. And then I thought, well, maybe
is Jerry doing Dion a favor by Hey, maybe we
have some interest here and that helps him even more
with that extension at Colorado. But you think this is real,
(06:54):
This is something that could happen.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
I think it has merit, and I think when we're
talking about Jerry and Dion, you always have to be
wary of how this conversation could benefit each of them,
and it certainly does. But I think there is a
possibility of it happening. I mean, Dion apparently told Adam
Schefter that he doesn't need to use the Cowboys's leverage
(07:19):
to get what he wants at Colorado that he's him,
and there's probably a lot of truth in that, given
the effect he's had on that program and the attention
he's brought to it and the money that's been dedicated
to the program since then. But yeah, and I think
a key figure if this were to go very far,
would be Mike Zimmer. You know, Mike Zimmer was a
(07:40):
defensive coordinator here this most recent season under Mike McCarthy,
coached under five head coaches in Dallas, and he has
not decided what he's going to do in terms of
whether he wants to continue coaching or not. I think
a lot of that is dependent upon what direction Jerry
decides to go in hiring the next head coach. And
he was certainly, almost certainly Dan be a part of
(08:02):
it if Dion Sanders is the coach, because Mike is
very close to Dion. He coached him when he was here.
He was close so close to his program at Jackson
State and then at Colorado that there were people speculating
that Zimmer was going to be the defensive coordinator of Colorado.
That never happened, but Zimmer made it clear during the
season when we spoke to him that he does frequently
(08:23):
still speak to Dion Sanders, so I'm sure he would
be heavily involved in that. And it's interesting that he
has made no mention or or offered no decision on
his future.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Okay, but we've talked about Jerry and he hires coaches
that are submissive and malleable, and that's not Dion. So
is Jerry finally maybe coming around to that I need
to have somebody be a head coach, act like a
head coach and not be looking over their shoulder constantly.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Well, do you think that Jerry would think that there's
not room for him to influence Dion Sanders, who's never
coached at the NFL level, on how he views his
best route to being successful. I think Jerry would see
this as a very a very positive opportunity for him
(09:14):
to influence the way Dion Sanders coaches Jerry's football team.
Now was interesting that during the season, when Jerry was
first asked about dionni you know, he praised him as
one of his favorite players of all time, and you
know his competitiveness that he brought to the team, but
he also sort of dismissed his value as a head
coach in the NFL, because he said, what Dion offers,
(09:36):
now that's most attractive and most influences his success at
CU at the college level is his ability to recruit,
and that's not going to be a significant part of
his success in the NFL should he opt to coach
in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
And that's true.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
I mean, you he could influence free agents, but the
Cowboys have not been heavily involved in free agency in
recent years, to their own detriment. Quite honestly. You know,
they were the last team to sign a player four
out of the last five years. So it was interesting
to me that Jerry thought that was the most unique
ability Dion possessed and that it would not be a
(10:15):
significant factor in whether he succeeded at the NFL level.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Did Mike McCarthy want out?
Speaker 4 (10:24):
That's not the sense I got. I mean, when the
season ended, he was unequivocal and very public about the
fact that his goal in the next few days was
to remain in Dallas. He said he had made an
investment in Dallas, the Cowboys had made an investment in him.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
I think his.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Family wanted to be here. I sincerely think Mike McCarthy
wanted and expected it to work out, and I don't
know that we fully understand the real reasons.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
It did great to talk to you always, Ed, Thank you. Thanks.
Ann ed Werder covers the Cowboys for w FAA in Dallas'
longtime contributor to ESPN. So I guess it's real real ish,
But that's I just you already have enough eyeballs on
(11:12):
the Cowboys. So it's not like, hey, we got Dion now.
You know, if the Jags hired him and then you'd say, man,
you're gonna get some publicity here, you already got publicity.
Colorado needs Dion. Dallas doesn't need Dion, you know, with
the attention that he would bring. Man, do you imagine
(11:37):
I can't imagine Dion going Man, I don't know anything
about coaching. Let me listen to Jerry Jones about this.
What does Jerry know about coaching in the NFL? Well,
Jerry knows business. I'll give him that. He's a great businessman,
and I think he loves that. You know, there's constant
(11:58):
chatter about the Cowboy. But if they don't get Ben Johnson, like,
who are they getting? Who wants that job? Who is
equipped to take that job? Dion is equipped to take
the job. From the standpoint of, Hey, I can go
to the press conference. I can win a press conference.
I can take Jerry. I know what to do with Jerry.
(12:20):
It comes down to this for me, what are you
going to do with Dak Prescott thirty two injury prone
immobile and you owe him two hundred and thirty one
million dollars. That's the big problem. A couple of phone
calls in here. David in Ohio, Hi David, what's on
your mind today?
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (12:42):
Dan, I heard you talking about the auger. I know
that those are made for digging holes and stuff, So
I thought maybe he could install yourself a new mailbox
or something like that.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
That'd be fun.
Speaker 8 (12:53):
Second thing is if they hire Dion Sanders, I think
in his contract Jerry jonesy to put yeah off. Looked
sunshade up at AT and T Stadium.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
So thank you, all right, thank you, David. Well, Deane
wear sunglasses so he won't be bothered by the glare
Texas Stadium. Garrett in Wisconsin, Hi, Garrett, what's on your
mind today?
Speaker 9 (13:16):
He had six? So I'm just calling and talking about
Bob Buker, you know, legendary Brewers Radio announcer very sad
about his passing at some One of my favorite moments
U wasn't when the Brewers would you know, make it
(13:37):
to the playoffs or whatever it was. It was when
he was in the clubhouse getting beard poured on his
head and doing the ripcord dance, celebrating with the team.
Grew up listening to him with my dad in the summers,
is on the radio, working outside, and those are some
of my best memories of Bob Buker.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Yeah, if you're listening on the radio, I mean, that's
when you really establish a relationship with a play by
play person. That's when that person is your person. You know, TV,
it's different radio. You know, you're listening there in the background.
You know, growing up you'd listen listen on a transistor
radio and that became your friend. That was your friend
(14:19):
talking to just you. It felt like and there was
you know, the great it felt like synergy between that
play by play voice on the radio, especially with baseball
because there's so many games and at night and you
feel like he's talking to you. Norman, Florida High Norm
what's on your mind?
Speaker 10 (14:38):
Hey, Dan six two two fifteen. I met Bob A
couple of times at spring training, so you probably heard these.
I just wanted to honor him with a couple of
quick quotes that I really like. He said, when I
came up to bat with the bases loaded and two
outs in the night, I looked and the other team's
dugout and they were already in street clothes. And then
he had one. In nineteen sixty two, I was named
(14:59):
Minor League Player of the Year, and it was my
second season in.
Speaker 11 (15:02):
The Biggs, and then I just got two more.
Speaker 10 (15:06):
He had to go when I when I looked at
the third base coach, he always turned his back on me.
And one of my favorite ones is his last one.
He talked about I signed a very modest three thousand
dollars bonus with the Braves in Milwaukee, and my old
man didn't really have that money to put out.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Thank you, Norm. Yeah, we'll try to put something together tomorrow.
We don't have the time in the final hour to
pay tribute, you know, a full tribute to the passing
of Bob Yuker. By the way, Sunday Sunday playoffs continue

if you're just joining us. Mister Baseball, Bob Buker passed
away at the age of ninety. We'll try to cobble
together some of the interviews that we did with Bob
over the years. We'll bring that to you on tomorrow's program.
(17:38):
He's Jerome Bettis, the Hall of Fame running back won
a Super Bowl and a former running back out of
Notre Dame nineteen ninety three draft. I believe do you
see your jersey behind me?
Speaker 7 (17:50):
I see it. I love it. I love That's all
school right there.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
That's Rams Jerome Bettis.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Where do you want that back? Do you want that bet?
Speaker 13 (18:03):
No? Hey, I appreciate you displaying it proudly.
Speaker 7 (18:08):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
How many jerseys do you have? Do you collect jerseys?
Speaker 7 (18:14):
I do have. I do have some. Yeah, I've got
I've got a few.
Speaker 13 (18:19):
But but what I did was I collected them as
I was playing from different players. You know, we would
trade jerseys and stuff like that, so I didn't do
much like buying jerseys or anything like that. It were
all given to me at one time or another.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
All right, give me an idea of who you have
what jerseys?
Speaker 13 (18:38):
I mean, my I guess my pride and enjoy would be, uh,
Jim Brown. I mean I didn't play with him, but
he you know, he signed it and everything for me.
Marshall fall I'm trying to think Barry Sanders. It was
a lot of running backs as I think about it,
(18:59):
But the problem is I don't have them displayed. My
wife didn't let me put any of my jerseys up
in the house.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
So I so wait, wait you here.
Speaker 13 (19:16):
Here's what you got to understand. It's some battles that's
not worth fighting.
Speaker 7 (19:20):
And you gotta know.
Speaker 13 (19:24):
I'm smart enough to know that was not a fight
that I was willing to put out a lot of
capital on.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Okay, but do you have defensive players that you swamped
jerseys with?
Speaker 13 (19:40):
No, I've got I swapped. I swapped with Lacker, his shoes,
our shoes.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
Like in the last one of the last playoff games,
we we traded shoes. So that was pretty unique. But
it was one of those one time things. I didn't
do that very often.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
All righty, let's start with your alma mater. What do
you expect to happen on Monday night.
Speaker 13 (20:08):
I expect to be a very close game.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
I think a lot of people will think it's gonna
be a blowout, is I don't. I don't see that
being the case.
Speaker 13 (20:18):
I think when you look at the teams that Ohio
State struggled with, the team that had a lot of physicality,
and I think that's what Notre Dame brings to the table.
Physicality at the point of attack. They're going to run
the football, they're going to be physical on defense. Now,
I will say we're at a bit of a disadvantage
(20:38):
because you know, our best defensive lineman he's he got hurt, uh,
you know, in the first playoff game, and.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
So we don't.
Speaker 13 (20:46):
We're not as strong as we were up front. Uh,
that's a little bit of an issue. But you know
we we we played them a couple of years ago
and you know, back to back years or one off together,
and they were competitive football games. Right. We lost there
at the end of both games, and so it tells
(21:07):
you that we can play with him. That's not the issue.
The key is we can't give up big plays on defense,
and we have to create some big plays on offense.
I don't see us going eighty yards down the field
every single drive, so we've got to open that offense
up a little bit and throw it down the field
and be successful.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
You're going to the game, yes, definitely.
Speaker 13 (21:30):
It's in Atlanta, and I live in Atlanta, so there's
no way I would not be at that one.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
And is your son going to Notre Dame?
Speaker 7 (21:37):
My son is en road. Yes, so he's a mid
year freshman.
Speaker 13 (21:42):
So we literally just dropped him off last weekend.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
Notre Dame. So we're real excited for him.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Did you cry when you dropped him off?
Speaker 11 (21:53):
No?
Speaker 7 (21:54):
I didn't cry what I dropped him off?
Speaker 13 (21:57):
Fortunately for us, his big sister she goes to Notre
Dame as well, so it gave us a sense of well,
gave me a sense of comfort knowing that his big
sister was there on campus. And my wife, on the
other hand, she left a day or so after me,
so there was some crying.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
I do understand in that department.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
He's Jerome Betti's Hall of Fame running back. The running
back is back bus. What happened in the NFL.
Speaker 7 (22:30):
See, let me tell you what happened it running back
never left.
Speaker 13 (22:32):
The problem was you couldn't find those franchise running backs.
And let me tell you why. So in college they
changed the game and the sense of they went to
these four wide receivers and they went to this smaller
bag so they can go laterally down You know, all
(22:54):
the running in colleges lateral. It's nothing downhill. So they
went to little bitty, small running back. The problem is
the NFL doesn't want little bit smart running backs.
Speaker 7 (23:03):
They still want power football downhill.
Speaker 13 (23:06):
And at some point you couldn't find the running backs,
right if they're not coming from five or six schools,
you know, the Georgia's, Alabama's, the SEC schools, maybe Wisconsin
or Notre Dame every now and then maybe at Ohio
State or Michigan running back. But outside of that, you're
(23:28):
not getting running backs from all over the country like
you used to. And so as a result, the NFL
had to go to say, you know what, we'll figure
it out. We'll go with these guys who can We'll
get four guys who can do what one guy could do.
And that's what kind of happened that and you start
having to pay your tight end and the second receiver,
(23:49):
and that money has to come from somewhere.
Speaker 7 (23:51):
So they say, you know.
Speaker 13 (23:51):
What, since we can't find the franchise running back, let's
pay these other guys and if we find one, great,
If we don't, we.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Don't Which running back is more prominent in his team's success,
Derrick Henry or Saquon Barkley.
Speaker 7 (24:06):
Oh, that's a good question. That's a great question.
Speaker 13 (24:12):
I would have to say Saquon Barkley because we have
seen what the Baltimore.
Speaker 7 (24:20):
Offense can do without Henry. It's not as.
Speaker 13 (24:25):
Explosive, but they are darn good without them, right so,
and they've gotten to the same level of success. Now
when you look at Philly, they're not as good as
they've been in the past. If you take sa Kuon
Barkley off of that football team, I don't know if
(24:46):
they make the playoffs because they're just not clicking from
a passing game perspective. And so with that being said,
if you don't have Saquon Barkler there, they don't have.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
I don't think a chance.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Is Derrick Henry a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
Not a question about it.
Speaker 13 (25:05):
He's what he's been able to do over the years
that he's been been in the NFL.
Speaker 7 (25:13):
I believe he's Hall of Fame worthy.
Speaker 13 (25:16):
Uh So, I don't know what that looks like, but
I do believe he has all of the characteristics if
his if his career ended tomorrow, I think he definitely
would be in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
What's wrong with your Steelers?
Speaker 13 (25:33):
I think they haven't been able to offensively get it
figured out. They need a second receiver, a big time receiver.
They don't have one on the other side of George Pickens.
They've got to figure.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
Out about George Pickens in terms of can he be
the player that they need.
Speaker 13 (26:04):
Him to be right on the field, off the field,
all those things, and so I think they have to
sit down with him and and get get that figured out.
Speaker 7 (26:14):
I think also you got to figure out the quarterback position.
Speaker 13 (26:18):
I think Russell is a good quarterback for the time,
but I think the problem is he's not a long
term solution to the issue. They have got to figure
out a long term solution at the quarterback position. And
a lot of you hear a lot of talking heads
speaking about the coach.
Speaker 7 (26:37):
And this and that. You in the NFL, we've seen
this now.
Speaker 13 (26:42):
This record is not you know new If you do
not have a quarterback in the NFL, you are not
going to win in the playoffs. That is a That's
what we know for sure. And right now the Stiller
have gone through this window of time where they've been
(27:06):
trying to figure out the quarterback situation and they have failed.
Speaker 7 (27:09):
They have not gotten it right. So I think that's
what they got to figure out.
Speaker 13 (27:13):
I think if you put Russell in a position where
he's got two really good receivers, a really good offensive line,
a good running back, he can be successful. But to
ask Russell Wilson to carry this football team on his
back at the quarterback position, I think it's unfair to
him at the stage in his career.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Yeah, but bussy, I got to put some of this
on Mike Tomlin that, yeah, you get to the playoffs,
he's helping try to get a quarterback. I don't think
it like he's powerful in that organization. So Mike's involved
in this. So if you're involved, like you can say,
we got to get a quarterback, Well, I got to
blame put some of the blame on Tomlin that you
(27:54):
haven't found a quarterback.
Speaker 7 (27:57):
Well, here's what you have to do.
Speaker 13 (28:00):
If Tomlin was picking all the players, I would say, Okay,
another piece of this puzzle is you have to commit resources,
right and so that means you've got to give up
a couple first round picks, right. Well, the Steelers, the
draft is very instrumental in how they build their football team.
(28:23):
So this is not a head coach decision in terms
of what they will have to do in terms of
draft capital to go up and get a quarter up. Now,
maybe they haven't seen a quarterback that it's worth, you know,
packaging and mortgaging the future on.
Speaker 7 (28:42):
And I get that that may be the.
Speaker 13 (28:44):
Case, but I believe because of I mean, their prisoner
of coach Tomlin's success, because they don't have to lose
the season, they're picking anywhere from eighteen to twenty five
to twenty seven. You're not going to get a quarterback there, right,
And so because in the last seventeen years or whatever
it is, they have been there, that's where they're drafted.
(29:07):
So they've got to make a fundamental decision on how.
Speaker 7 (29:12):
Do we get the quarterback in there?
Speaker 13 (29:14):
The one year when I was there that everything fell apart,
and I think it was probably been only year that
we were, you know, under five hundred with coach Kward
it was six and ten. We got being that year, right,
And so you don't get that's the situation. You're not
able to get that quarterback. And so I think at
(29:36):
the end of the day, there has to be some
high level discussions on are we willing to commit multiple
first round picks to go get the quarterback that we need.
Now they're trying to get players that have gone from
team to team, and for the most part, some of
these guys, their careers are more behind them than ahead
(29:58):
of them, right, and you're not going to solve the
problem with that type of uh scenario. You can, you
can get from year to year, but it's not sustainable
at the quarterback position. And that's the difficult, difficult part
of the scenario that the stealers are red.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
It's Ben Roethlisberger still the best quarterback in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 7 (30:26):
That's a good one. No, I definite don't believe so.
I though he's he's still throwing it. He's still throwing
it to his kids in the backyard.
Speaker 10 (30:33):
But I don't know.
Speaker 7 (30:36):
I don't know if we can put him out of
a target and go for it.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Uh, have fun on Monday night there and uh, good
to good to catch up with you again. Bussy.
Speaker 7 (30:46):
Hey, thank you man.
Speaker 13 (30:47):
And you could have had any jersey you want it
at that spot you put mine.
Speaker 7 (30:52):
I'm honored, thank you so much. I appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
The l A Ram Jerome Bettis, thank you, buddy, Take
care all right. Hall of Famer. Yeah, nineteen ninety three
draft pick out of Notre Dame. He wore number six.
There with the fighting hours, Bussy would be featured now today,
you know with these running backs. But he does bring
up something interesting that college is five wide. Now it's
(31:18):
these quarterbacks were completing sixty five seventy percent of their
passes and you're not winning with just power football. Yeah.
Speaker 14 (31:26):
Morph When I was a kid, in my head, he
was the trendsetter because he was like the big running
back and you had guys like Natron Means and bam More's,
you had the poor man's Jerome Betticies, So he was
a trendset at least when I was a kid.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Natron Means Yeah, Yeah, it felt like you had to
have one of those guys, whether it's you know, a
first and second down running back and then maybe you
had somebody who came in and or you had two
running backs in the backfield. Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
And it's weird because Jerome played a lot of fullback.
He was the blocking back on some play. Then he'd
switched to be the tailback because they had a lot
of tailbacks at Notre Dame. Plus, wearing six made him
look faster than he was with a sleeker number, and
it made Bussy look faster.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Let's see Jim in Michigan. Hi, Jim, what's on your mind?
Speaker 6 (32:17):
Thank you for taking my call?
Speaker 11 (32:20):
Six one two twenty six.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
Man, I just wanted to mention if anybody hasn't had
the pleasure of watching you Kurt address the Cooper Sound
crowd when he was brought in there. It is the
funniest damp thing.
Speaker 7 (32:35):
I bet you.
Speaker 9 (32:35):
I've watched it half a dozen.
Speaker 6 (32:37):
Times and it's just it goes way beyond the Johnny
Carson days.
Speaker 7 (32:41):
He was just just wonderful. It was a great presentation.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Yeah, he became famous for not being famous, and uh
he was so uh self deprecating. I mean he kind
of invented it. You know, when you're making fun of
what you weren't. He would have loved to have the
Mendoza line for his batting average. He would have been like, Ah,
(33:06):
I'm killing it. I'm batt in two hundred here he
was a one ninety guy. All Right, we'll take a break,
last call for phone calls, what we learn, what's in
store tomorrow. Also the gambling podcast that'll be coming up.
It'll be available at Danpatrick dot com this afternoon. Shayan
Irving will give his thoughts on the uh I guess,
the dismissal of Mike McCarthy, the parting of ways that'll
(33:28):
be on the podcast coming up a little bit later on.
We're back after this.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
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 (33:42):
Last call for Phone Calls, What we learn, What's in
store tomorrow, Dan and the Dan Nuts. Caleb Williams was
on A'man Ross Saint Brown's podcast, and Uh, I'm on
Ross Saint Brown asked Caleb Williams about what he wanted
as the Bear's next head coach.
Speaker 15 (34:00):
Coach selfishly, I want an offensive minded guy so I
can build with him and be with that coach for
the next nineteen seventeen fifteen years, and so I can
also learn.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
And grow and you know, things like that from.
Speaker 15 (34:15):
Him and what he's seen and what he you know,
what he's gone through with you know, maybe other qbs.
Speaker 7 (34:20):
Or been around.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Okay, Cat Williams should have said the following to i'mon
Ross Saint Brown, what if I wanted to coach? I
want your offensive coordinator. That's what I want to coach selfishly,
and I'd like maybe a couple of offensive linemen. That's
what I would like, all right. The last call for
phone Calls, Bob in Montana. Hi Bob, welcome back.
Speaker 11 (34:44):
Oh hey DP, two quick things here. Your final caller
on Monday said he was a semi finalist for Survivor,
and actually back in two thousand and four, I was
a semi finalist as well. That one of my buddies
worked on the show for eight seasons. He's on that
Christmas card that I sent you guys. So if that
caller wants an edge, I'd be happy to relay my
experiences in the interview process and then maybe that way
(35:07):
at least somebody from Deep Nation will get on the show.
And then second, my daughter and I actually go ice
fishing quite a bit. Historically, you guys take off the
final the week after the Super Bowl, So I was
just gonna invite you out if you wanted to come
out to Montana after that, I will take you out
to Georgetown Lake, which is just right down the street
from where you go on your big fly fishing trips
(35:27):
in the summer with your brother.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Well, I first have to conquer the state of Maine
before I'm going to branch out conquer. Yeah, I have
to conquer Maine and then maybe I'll start to look
seek out other states to conquer.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
The challenges.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Yes, yes, Scott in Scottsdale. Hi Scott and Scottsdale.
Speaker 16 (35:49):
Hey Dan, I'm a little out of my geographical element
with respect to where Bob lives and where you are
right now. But a couple of things about ice fishing.
If you can make sure using your ardor that's at
least four inches thick, you're in pretty good shape. You
also want like a blue and clear ice. So what's
usually an indication that's sticking up to skate across and
(36:11):
worstate scenario is if you do find yourself in the water,
if you have the picks and you can put them
as horizontally apart from you as possible, we'll kicking your legs.
You can usually float up enough where you can pull
yourself up until the said ledge and you have a
little capability.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Well, thank you, Scott. Yes, I am checking with the locals.
They tell me about what the ice needs to look like,
and then you know and usually you know what. Here's
my rule of thumb. If I see trucks that are
parked on the lake, then I realize that it probably
can hold me, me and my dog. So we're probably
(36:50):
about two hundred and fifty pounds combined there, So I
think we'll be we'll be okay if I and also
I follow tracks. If I go on the ice and
there's snow, I just follow where there's people tracks and
uh and let's I'm walking and all of a sudden
those tracks disappear. Yes, yes, would.
Speaker 17 (37:12):
You follow the big guy.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
Let's say a bunch of people are walking on the
ice when you stand like ten feet behind the biggest guy,
because if he's okay, you're okay.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
If it's like if a bear was chasing me and
I was with Todd, I'd feel really good because I'll
run faster. I'll run faster than Todd, guaranteed that's fair.
And then the bear bear will be, you know, taking
care of Todd, and I'll be running away, getting ready
to grab my auger. Uh Andy in Rhode Island, High Andy, Hey.
Speaker 16 (37:46):
Good morning, Dan Dennis.
Speaker 13 (37:47):
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Marvin Pritzy?
Speaker 18 (37:50):
Then I actually have a personal question. I know you
had to wait with you late with the ladies back
in the day with that voice, But what did you
figure out that you actually had.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
A radio voice?
Speaker 8 (38:00):
This silky dad, let me tell.
Speaker 18 (38:01):
You, when it comes to the speakers, it is killing it,
and I'm surprised more ladies aren't calling.
Speaker 5 (38:10):
I.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
They're probably intimidated, though, I think I think that's probably
the kindest thing that I could say about it. Andy, it's, uh,
you can't buy this. You can't just lucky. You got
to have this voice and you have to have this
hair and uh, it's that's a combo platter. It's like
having you know, power and speed. Yes, Todd, it's like
(38:33):
those supermodels.
Speaker 19 (38:34):
They go in the trusts and say, no, I'm not
dating anybody. No one's interested in me. I can't find anybody.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
No one approaches Well no, no, I was telling the truth.
Nobody was interested in me.
Speaker 19 (38:44):
But it's the intimidation factor of the voice though. It
is what he was getting at.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
That's why, Todd Todd, if I went, Hi, how are you? Hey,
I just want to I just want to say lo
yeah it myself. Thank you. Tom.
Speaker 19 (39:02):
I know I'm not the problem for I.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Know guys would get excited when I would talk to them.
That's a problem. Hey, could you get me a beer? Hey?
I know that voice. Yeah, I'll bet you do. Yeah.
Speaker 17 (39:17):
See, I just had a conversation while waiting to pick
up my son from soccer the other day another dad
that I know very very well.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Great guy.
Speaker 17 (39:27):
He's just like, hey, so how's Dan doing?
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Good? God?
Speaker 17 (39:29):
What a voice? What a voice?
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 17 (39:32):
Yeah, yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's pretty good. You guys take it
for granted. It's true. I mean, imagine if I had
a high pitched voice and you had to listen to
it every day for three hours. Instead, you get to
listen to.
Speaker 19 (39:46):
This and he asks us great questions too.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
That yeah, oh he does, he does. Yeah. He doesn't
look as good as he sounds though, that's part of that.
Speaker 17 (39:57):
It would be a lot different though, if you like
you s as Jerome vettis, like, uh, you know, if.
Speaker 12 (40:03):
Ben Roethlisberger is still the best quarterback.
Speaker 17 (40:05):
In Pittsburgh, I would I don't listen. I've heard some
shows like that. I'm aware of some shows, Like I
was in Chicago, I covered that team.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Oh go to d Wow hring back.
Speaker 17 (40:22):
A jam, Late Lake Jams.
Speaker 14 (40:25):
What that's the should have thrown them this day in
sports history.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Got to get it back together after that Dad.
Speaker 3 (40:34):
Nineteen sixty one, Mickey Mandl signed the highest one season
contract in baseball history, seventy five thousand dollars in nineteen
sixty one and uh oh, nineteen eighty eight, the Saint
Louis Cardinals announced they're moving to Phoenix. Michael Jordan ninety
three had sixty four points against your Orlando Magic.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Mark Sanchez our guest yesterday through three touchdown passes on
this day, Jets upset. The Patriots went to the AFC title?
Todd Wood? Did you learn today?
Speaker 19 (41:02):
Jerome Bettis isn't sure the Eagles even make the playoffs
of Saquon wasn't in their backfield?
Speaker 2 (41:07):
Seaton, What did you learn today?
Speaker 17 (41:09):
Uh, Bussy's got another domer in the family.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Yeah, son, going there, mar.
Speaker 19 (41:13):
Then the Patriots played a playoff game on a Saturday.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
Against the Texans.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
Paulie, would you learn Collinsworth pulled a hammy at the
thirty eight yard mark?
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Todd Wood, I learn today we all learned.
Speaker 19 (41:25):
You got an augur to go ice fishing in Maine.
But thankfully the wife said no to you getting a chainsaw.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
For right now.
Speaker 19 (41:31):
Okay, it's still up in the air.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
I think if she sees how I treat the auger,
then she'll say, all right, you get a chainsaw. Look
forward to talking to you tomorrow. Take care
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final Hour on this Thursday. Just got word that Bob
Buker passed away at the age of ninety. We'll try
to put something together for tomorrow. I don't know if
we can do it in the final hour. Here bring
back some of the moments. I stayed in touch with
Yuke a lot. We started texting the last couple of years,
(00:25):
and even in the off season. I would just send
him a text saying I'm thinking of you. He always
would have something funny to say. But the age of
ninety and the number of people that he touched with
his humor, going back to when he'd be on The
Tonight Show and he would crack up Johnny Carson and
he was just you ask him something and he had
(00:46):
a great response. He was always fun. When we went
out to Milwaukee when we did the Sausage Race, we
got to spend some time with him, and he'll be
greatly greatly missed just having that sense of humor. Still
broadcasting games. He didn't do it on a nightly basis,
but he said last text that I had, he said,
(01:09):
let me know when you're swinging through Arizona. It'd be
fun to get together again. So Bob Yuker passing away
at the age of ninety. Yeah, Pulley.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
I always found it so almost underrated that he took
a subpar baseball career. I think he played five or
six years and wasn't that good when he played, and
parlaid it into a monstrous media career, movies and everybody
liked the guy. He was a household name. He's been
a household name, I mean, one of the more popular
liked people in sports and otherwise.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I love that story though. When he was asked about
catching a knuckleball, he said, it's not that difficult. You
just wait till it stops rolling and then you pick
it up. So and how do you catch a knuckleball? Oh,
it's true easy, you just wait till it stops rolling.
Because Yuke was a catcher and I did have this
(02:01):
he Let me see, here's one of my last responses
to him. Let me see if I've I've got that.
He talked about his batting average. No, let me see.
We'll get to ed Warder here in a moment ed
thanks for being patient. Let's see, he says, thanks for
(02:27):
checking in. Dan. Always good to hear from you. I
hope your crew is doing well. I finally got to
my batting average when he turned ninety and I said congrats,
and he said two ten with runners in scoring position.
We'll try to bring back you know, he was on
our show a few times, so we'll try to bring
(02:48):
back some of that humor. Uh, We'll have the backroom
guys try to find that for tomorrow. I saw a
tweet from ed Warder and of course always reading ed
Werder's tweets, and had something to do with the Cowboys.
Ed is a cowboy insider for w FAA TV in Dallas.
Had to do with Dion, had to do with Jerry Jones,
(03:11):
and maybe maybe this is actually in the on deck
circling could happen and Edward are kind of enough to
join us. So you pique my interest with this, So
explain what your tweet was all about.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
That was my one and only interest in tweeting Dan,
was to get your attention, thank you, and to have
an opportunity to make a long awaited guest appearance on
the show. If you want to play golf again, let
me know.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Yeah, so I've been I've been obviously following the Cowboys
you know for a long time, but you know, certainly
throughout this season and extending that coverage through the dismissal
of Mike McCarthy, which I think surprised a lot.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Of people, even those of us who cover the team
on a regular basis. And you know, when you start
to figuring a list of potential candidates to be the
next head coach, only in Dallas do you have to
make sure to include Dion Sanders and Jason Witten, former
Cowboys tight end great who Jerry is enamored with, who
(04:14):
has only coached at the high school level. Regarding Dion,
obviously we know that he has not yet formally interviewed
for the job. The Cowboys have extended invitations to Leslie
Frazier and Robert Salah to be the first two to
interview formerly for the job. But Dion told Adam Schefter
the other day that Jerry Jones reached out to him
(04:39):
and they discussed the job, and everything I continue to
be told Dan is that Jerry is interested. It was
described to me as he's enamored with the idea. Obviously,
it's hard to imagine any coaching candidate who could create
more interest someone that Jerry could more sell to the
(05:00):
and base here, which needs to happen and make Jerry
more money than Dion Sanders. I mean, he won a
Super Bowl here as a player. So there are also
people around Dion who tell me that he's being urged
by his supporters in Colorado to take the job, and
that they believe if Jerry ever does offer him the job,
(05:22):
that he will take. That he has an extension to
remain at Colorado on his desk that he hasn't even
looked at as he considers these other possibilities. But you know,
I mean, there are also people close to Dion who
tell me they don't see it happening, but they've seen
things happen with Jerry Jones that they didn't expect to
happen before. And he did hire Barry Switzer, So you
(05:47):
can't rule anything out. He's the most unpredictable owner in
the NFL on any subject, especially this one.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
But do you think that Jerry Jones had somebody in
mind when he was willing to let Mike McCarthy leave.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
I assume that Jerry's done this enough times. This is
his eighth time that he knows before you let somebody
who has some value. It has proven himself to the degree,
you know, Mike McCarthy has as a head coach in
this league with two different franchises that you're sure you're
going to get somebody who you think is going to
do a better job.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yeah, I man for some reason. And I was talking
to Tim Callishaw, of course he covers the Cowboys, and
he said Dion was treating this as if he was
offered the job.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
Like.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
His response was, Hey, I'm honored or humboled or whatever,
but I got work to do as if he was
getting the job offer. And then I thought, well, maybe
is Jerry doing Dion a favor by Hey, maybe we
have some interest here and that helps him even more
with that extension at Colorado. But you think this is real,
(06:54):
This is something that could happen.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
I think it has merit, and I think when we're
talking about Jerry and Dion, you always have to be
wary of how this conversation could benefit each of them,
and it certainly does. But I think there is a
possibility of it happening. I mean, Dion apparently told Adam
Schefter that he doesn't need to use the Cowboys's leverage
(07:19):
to get what he wants at Colorado that he's him,
and there's probably a lot of truth in that, given
the effect he's had on that program and the attention
he's brought to it and the money that's been dedicated
to the program since then. But yeah, and I think
a key figure if this were to go very far,
would be Mike Zimmer. You know, Mike Zimmer was a
(07:40):
defensive coordinator here this most recent season under Mike McCarthy,
coached under five head coaches in Dallas, and he has
not decided what he's going to do in terms of
whether he wants to continue coaching or not. I think
a lot of that is dependent upon what direction Jerry
decides to go in hiring the next head coach. And
he was certainly, almost certainly Dan be a part of
(08:02):
it if Dion Sanders is the coach, because Mike is
very close to Dion. He coached him when he was here.
He was close so close to his program at Jackson
State and then at Colorado that there were people speculating
that Zimmer was going to be the defensive coordinator of Colorado.
That never happened, but Zimmer made it clear during the
season when we spoke to him that he does frequently
(08:23):
still speak to Dion Sanders, so I'm sure he would
be heavily involved in that. And it's interesting that he
has made no mention or or offered no decision on
his future.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Okay, but we've talked about Jerry and he hires coaches
that are submissive and malleable, and that's not Dion. So
is Jerry finally maybe coming around to that I need
to have somebody be a head coach, act like a
head coach and not be looking over their shoulder constantly.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Well, do you think that Jerry would think that there's
not room for him to influence Dion Sanders, who's never
coached at the NFL level, on how he views his
best route to being successful. I think Jerry would see
this as a very a very positive opportunity for him
(09:14):
to influence the way Dion Sanders coaches Jerry's football team.
Now was interesting that during the season, when Jerry was
first asked about dionni you know, he praised him as
one of his favorite players of all time, and you
know his competitiveness that he brought to the team, but
he also sort of dismissed his value as a head
coach in the NFL, because he said, what Dion offers,
(09:36):
now that's most attractive and most influences his success at
CU at the college level is his ability to recruit,
and that's not going to be a significant part of
his success in the NFL should he opt to coach
in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
And that's true.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
I mean, you he could influence free agents, but the
Cowboys have not been heavily involved in free agency in
recent years, to their own detriment. Quite honestly. You know,
they were the last team to sign a player four
out of the last five years. So it was interesting
to me that Jerry thought that was the most unique
ability Dion possessed and that it would not be a
(10:15):
significant factor in whether he succeeded at the NFL level.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Did Mike McCarthy want out?
Speaker 4 (10:24):
That's not the sense I got. I mean, when the
season ended, he was unequivocal and very public about the
fact that his goal in the next few days was
to remain in Dallas. He said he had made an
investment in Dallas, the Cowboys had made an investment in him.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
I think his.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Family wanted to be here. I sincerely think Mike McCarthy
wanted and expected it to work out, and I don't
know that we fully understand the real reasons.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
It did great to talk to you always, Ed, Thank you. Thanks.
Ann ed Werder covers the Cowboys for w FAA in Dallas'
longtime contributor to ESPN. So I guess it's real real ish,
But that's I just you already have enough eyeballs on
(11:12):
the Cowboys. So it's not like, hey, we got Dion now.
You know, if the Jags hired him and then you'd say, man,
you're gonna get some publicity here, you already got publicity.
Colorado needs Dion. Dallas doesn't need Dion, you know, with
the attention that he would bring. Man, do you imagine
(11:37):
I can't imagine Dion going Man, I don't know anything
about coaching. Let me listen to Jerry Jones about this.
What does Jerry know about coaching in the NFL? Well,
Jerry knows business. I'll give him that. He's a great businessman,
and I think he loves that. You know, there's constant
(11:58):
chatter about the Cowboy. But if they don't get Ben Johnson, like,
who are they getting? Who wants that job? Who is
equipped to take that job? Dion is equipped to take
the job. From the standpoint of, Hey, I can go
to the press conference. I can win a press conference.
I can take Jerry. I know what to do with Jerry.
(12:20):
It comes down to this for me, what are you
going to do with Dak Prescott thirty two injury prone
immobile and you owe him two hundred and thirty one
million dollars. That's the big problem. A couple of phone
calls in here. David in Ohio, Hi David, what's on
your mind today?
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (12:42):
Dan, I heard you talking about the auger. I know
that those are made for digging holes and stuff, So
I thought maybe he could install yourself a new mailbox
or something like that.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
That'd be fun.
Speaker 8 (12:53):
Second thing is if they hire Dion Sanders, I think
in his contract Jerry jonesy to put yeah off. Looked
sunshade up at AT and T Stadium.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
So thank you, all right, thank you, David. Well, Deane
wear sunglasses so he won't be bothered by the glare
Texas Stadium. Garrett in Wisconsin, Hi, Garrett, what's on your
mind today?
Speaker 9 (13:16):
He had six? So I'm just calling and talking about
Bob Buker, you know, legendary Brewers Radio announcer very sad
about his passing at some One of my favorite moments
U wasn't when the Brewers would you know, make it
(13:37):
to the playoffs or whatever it was. It was when
he was in the clubhouse getting beard poured on his
head and doing the ripcord dance, celebrating with the team.
Grew up listening to him with my dad in the summers,
is on the radio, working outside, and those are some
of my best memories of Bob Buker.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Yeah, if you're listening on the radio, I mean, that's
when you really establish a relationship with a play by
play person. That's when that person is your person. You know, TV,
it's different radio. You know, you're listening there in the background.
You know, growing up you'd listen listen on a transistor
radio and that became your friend. That was your friend
(14:19):
talking to just you. It felt like and there was
you know, the great it felt like synergy between that
play by play voice on the radio, especially with baseball
because there's so many games and at night and you
feel like he's talking to you. Norman, Florida High Norm
what's on your mind?
Speaker 10 (14:38):
Hey, Dan six two two fifteen. I met Bob A
couple of times at spring training, so you probably heard these.
I just wanted to honor him with a couple of
quick quotes that I really like. He said, when I
came up to bat with the bases loaded and two
outs in the night, I looked and the other team's
dugout and they were already in street clothes. And then
he had one. In nineteen sixty two, I was named
(14:59):
Minor League Player of the Year, and it was my
second season in.
Speaker 11 (15:02):
The Biggs, and then I just got two more.
Speaker 10 (15:06):
He had to go when I when I looked at
the third base coach, he always turned his back on me.
And one of my favorite ones is his last one.
He talked about I signed a very modest three thousand
dollars bonus with the Braves in Milwaukee, and my old
man didn't really have that money to put out.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Thank you, Norm. Yeah, we'll try to put something together tomorrow.
We don't have the time in the final hour to
pay tribute, you know, a full tribute to the passing
of Bob Yuker. By the way, Sunday Sunday playoffs continue

over the years. We'll bring that to you on tomorrow's program.
(17:38):
He's Jerome Bettis, the Hall of Fame running back won
a Super Bowl and a former running back out of
Notre Dame nineteen ninety three draft. I believe do you
see your jersey behind me?
Speaker 7 (17:50):
I see it. I love it. I love That's all
school right there.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
That's Rams Jerome Bettis.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Where do you want that back? Do you want that bet?
Speaker 13 (18:03):
No? Hey, I appreciate you displaying it proudly.
Speaker 7 (18:08):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
How many jerseys do you have? Do you collect jerseys?
Speaker 7 (18:14):
I do have. I do have some. Yeah, I've got
I've got a few.
Speaker 13 (18:19):
But but what I did was I collected them as
I was playing from different players. You know, we would
trade jerseys and stuff like that, so I didn't do
much like buying jerseys or anything like that. It were
all given to me at one time or another.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
All right, give me an idea of who you have
what jerseys?
Speaker 13 (18:38):
I mean, my I guess my pride and enjoy would be, uh,
Jim Brown. I mean I didn't play with him, but
he you know, he signed it and everything for me.
Marshall fall I'm trying to think Barry Sanders. It was
a lot of running backs as I think about it,
(18:59):
But the problem is I don't have them displayed. My
wife didn't let me put any of my jerseys up
in the house.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
So I so wait, wait you here.
Speaker 13 (19:16):
Here's what you got to understand. It's some battles that's
not worth fighting.
Speaker 7 (19:20):
And you gotta know.
Speaker 13 (19:24):
I'm smart enough to know that was not a fight
that I was willing to put out a lot of
capital on.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Okay, but do you have defensive players that you swamped
jerseys with?
Speaker 13 (19:40):
No, I've got I swapped. I swapped with Lacker, his shoes,
our shoes.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
Like in the last one of the last playoff games,
we we traded shoes. So that was pretty unique. But
it was one of those one time things. I didn't
do that very often.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
All righty, let's start with your alma mater. What do
you expect to happen on Monday night.
Speaker 13 (20:08):
I expect to be a very close game.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
I think a lot of people will think it's gonna
be a blowout, is I don't. I don't see that
being the case.
Speaker 13 (20:18):
I think when you look at the teams that Ohio
State struggled with, the team that had a lot of physicality,
and I think that's what Notre Dame brings to the table.
Physicality at the point of attack. They're going to run
the football, they're going to be physical on defense. Now,
I will say we're at a bit of a disadvantage
(20:38):
because you know, our best defensive lineman he's he got hurt, uh,
you know, in the first playoff game, and.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
So we don't.
Speaker 13 (20:46):
We're not as strong as we were up front. Uh,
that's a little bit of an issue. But you know
we we we played them a couple of years ago
and you know, back to back years or one off together,
and they were competitive football games. Right. We lost there
at the end of both games, and so it tells
(21:07):
you that we can play with him. That's not the issue.
The key is we can't give up big plays on defense,
and we have to create some big plays on offense.
I don't see us going eighty yards down the field
every single drive, so we've got to open that offense
up a little bit and throw it down the field
and be successful.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
You're going to the game, yes, definitely.
Speaker 13 (21:30):
It's in Atlanta, and I live in Atlanta, so there's
no way I would not be at that one.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
And is your son going to Notre Dame?
Speaker 7 (21:37):
My son is en road. Yes, so he's a mid
year freshman.
Speaker 13 (21:42):
So we literally just dropped him off last weekend.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
Notre Dame. So we're real excited for him.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Did you cry when you dropped him off?
Speaker 11 (21:53):
No?
Speaker 7 (21:54):
I didn't cry what I dropped him off?
Speaker 13 (21:57):
Fortunately for us, his big sister she goes to Notre
Dame as well, so it gave us a sense of well,
gave me a sense of comfort knowing that his big
sister was there on campus. And my wife, on the
other hand, she left a day or so after me,
so there was some crying.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
I do understand in that department.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
He's Jerome Betti's Hall of Fame running back. The running
back is back bus. What happened in the NFL.
Speaker 7 (22:30):
See, let me tell you what happened it running back
never left.
Speaker 13 (22:32):
The problem was you couldn't find those franchise running backs.
And let me tell you why. So in college they
changed the game and the sense of they went to
these four wide receivers and they went to this smaller
bag so they can go laterally down You know, all
(22:54):
the running in colleges lateral. It's nothing downhill. So they
went to little bitty, small running back. The problem is
the NFL doesn't want little bit smart running backs.
Speaker 7 (23:03):
They still want power football downhill.
Speaker 13 (23:06):
And at some point you couldn't find the running backs,
right if they're not coming from five or six schools,
you know, the Georgia's, Alabama's, the SEC schools, maybe Wisconsin
or Notre Dame every now and then maybe at Ohio
State or Michigan running back. But outside of that, you're
(23:28):
not getting running backs from all over the country like
you used to. And so as a result, the NFL
had to go to say, you know what, we'll figure
it out. We'll go with these guys who can We'll
get four guys who can do what one guy could do.
And that's what kind of happened that and you start
having to pay your tight end and the second receiver,
(23:49):
and that money has to come from somewhere.
Speaker 7 (23:51):
So they say, you know.
Speaker 13 (23:51):
What, since we can't find the franchise running back, let's
pay these other guys and if we find one, great,
If we don't, we.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Don't Which running back is more prominent in his team's success,
Derrick Henry or Saquon Barkley.
Speaker 7 (24:06):
Oh, that's a good question. That's a great question.
Speaker 13 (24:12):
I would have to say Saquon Barkley because we have
seen what the Baltimore.
Speaker 7 (24:20):
Offense can do without Henry. It's not as.
Speaker 13 (24:25):
Explosive, but they are darn good without them, right so,
and they've gotten to the same level of success. Now
when you look at Philly, they're not as good as
they've been in the past. If you take sa Kuon
Barkley off of that football team, I don't know if
(24:46):
they make the playoffs because they're just not clicking from
a passing game perspective. And so with that being said,
if you don't have Saquon Barkler there, they don't have.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
I don't think a chance.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Is Derrick Henry a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
Not a question about it.
Speaker 13 (25:05):
He's what he's been able to do over the years
that he's been been in the NFL.
Speaker 7 (25:13):
I believe he's Hall of Fame worthy.
Speaker 13 (25:16):
Uh So, I don't know what that looks like, but
I do believe he has all of the characteristics if
his if his career ended tomorrow, I think he definitely
would be in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
What's wrong with your Steelers?
Speaker 13 (25:33):
I think they haven't been able to offensively get it
figured out. They need a second receiver, a big time receiver.
They don't have one on the other side of George Pickens.
They've got to figure.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
Out about George Pickens in terms of can he be
the player that they need.
Speaker 13 (26:04):
Him to be right on the field, off the field,
all those things, and so I think they have to
sit down with him and and get get that figured out.
Speaker 7 (26:14):
I think also you got to figure out the quarterback position.
Speaker 13 (26:18):
I think Russell is a good quarterback for the time,
but I think the problem is he's not a long
term solution to the issue. They have got to figure
out a long term solution at the quarterback position. And
a lot of you hear a lot of talking heads
speaking about the coach.
Speaker 7 (26:37):
And this and that. You in the NFL, we've seen
this now.
Speaker 13 (26:42):
This record is not you know new If you do
not have a quarterback in the NFL, you are not
going to win in the playoffs. That is a That's
what we know for sure. And right now the Stiller
have gone through this window of time where they've been
(27:06):
trying to figure out the quarterback situation and they have failed.
Speaker 7 (27:09):
They have not gotten it right. So I think that's
what they got to figure out.
Speaker 13 (27:13):
I think if you put Russell in a position where
he's got two really good receivers, a really good offensive line,
a good running back, he can be successful. But to
ask Russell Wilson to carry this football team on his
back at the quarterback position, I think it's unfair to
him at the stage in his career.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Yeah, but bussy, I got to put some of this
on Mike Tomlin that, yeah, you get to the playoffs,
he's helping try to get a quarterback. I don't think
it like he's powerful in that organization. So Mike's involved
in this. So if you're involved, like you can say,
we got to get a quarterback, Well, I got to
blame put some of the blame on Tomlin that you
(27:54):
haven't found a quarterback.
Speaker 7 (27:57):
Well, here's what you have to do.
Speaker 13 (28:00):
If Tomlin was picking all the players, I would say, Okay,
another piece of this puzzle is you have to commit resources,
right and so that means you've got to give up
a couple first round picks, right. Well, the Steelers, the
draft is very instrumental in how they build their football team.
(28:23):
So this is not a head coach decision in terms
of what they will have to do in terms of
draft capital to go up and get a quarter up. Now,
maybe they haven't seen a quarterback that it's worth, you know,
packaging and mortgaging the future on.
Speaker 7 (28:42):
And I get that that may be the.
Speaker 13 (28:44):
Case, but I believe because of I mean, their prisoner
of coach Tomlin's success, because they don't have to lose
the season, they're picking anywhere from eighteen to twenty five
to twenty seven. You're not going to get a quarterback there, right,
And so because in the last seventeen years or whatever
it is, they have been there, that's where they're drafted.
(29:07):
So they've got to make a fundamental decision on how.
Speaker 7 (29:12):
Do we get the quarterback in there?
Speaker 13 (29:14):
The one year when I was there that everything fell apart,
and I think it was probably been only year that
we were, you know, under five hundred with coach Kward
it was six and ten. We got being that year, right,
And so you don't get that's the situation. You're not
able to get that quarterback. And so I think at
(29:36):
the end of the day, there has to be some
high level discussions on are we willing to commit multiple
first round picks to go get the quarterback that we need.
Now they're trying to get players that have gone from
team to team, and for the most part, some of
these guys, their careers are more behind them than ahead
(29:58):
of them, right, and you're not going to solve the
problem with that type of uh scenario. You can, you
can get from year to year, but it's not sustainable
at the quarterback position. And that's the difficult, difficult part
of the scenario that the stealers are red.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
It's Ben Roethlisberger still the best quarterback in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 7 (30:26):
That's a good one. No, I definite don't believe so.
I though he's he's still throwing it. He's still throwing
it to his kids in the backyard.
Speaker 10 (30:33):
But I don't know.
Speaker 7 (30:36):
I don't know if we can put him out of
a target and go for it.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Uh, have fun on Monday night there and uh, good
to good to catch up with you again. Bussy.
Speaker 7 (30:46):
Hey, thank you man.
Speaker 13 (30:47):
And you could have had any jersey you want it
at that spot you put mine.
Speaker 7 (30:52):
I'm honored, thank you so much. I appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
The l A Ram Jerome Bettis, thank you, buddy, Take
care all right. Hall of Famer. Yeah, nineteen ninety three
draft pick out of Notre Dame. He wore number six.
There with the fighting hours, Bussy would be featured now today,
you know with these running backs. But he does bring
up something interesting that college is five wide. Now it's
(31:18):
these quarterbacks were completing sixty five seventy percent of their
passes and you're not winning with just power football. Yeah.
Speaker 14 (31:26):
Morph When I was a kid, in my head, he
was the trendsetter because he was like the big running
back and you had guys like Natron Means and bam More's,
you had the poor man's Jerome Betticies, So he was
a trendset at least when I was a kid.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Natron Means Yeah, Yeah, it felt like you had to
have one of those guys, whether it's you know, a
first and second down running back and then maybe you
had somebody who came in and or you had two
running backs in the backfield. Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
And it's weird because Jerome played a lot of fullback.
He was the blocking back on some play. Then he'd
switched to be the tailback because they had a lot
of tailbacks at Notre Dame. Plus, wearing six made him
look faster than he was with a sleeker number, and
it made Bussy look faster.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Let's see Jim in Michigan. Hi, Jim, what's on your mind?
Speaker 6 (32:17):
Thank you for taking my call?
Speaker 11 (32:20):
Six one two twenty six.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
Man, I just wanted to mention if anybody hasn't had
the pleasure of watching you Kurt address the Cooper Sound
crowd when he was brought in there. It is the
funniest damp thing.
Speaker 7 (32:35):
I bet you.
Speaker 9 (32:35):
I've watched it half a dozen.
Speaker 6 (32:37):
Times and it's just it goes way beyond the Johnny
Carson days.
Speaker 7 (32:41):
He was just just wonderful. It was a great presentation.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Yeah, he became famous for not being famous, and uh
he was so uh self deprecating. I mean he kind
of invented it. You know, when you're making fun of
what you weren't. He would have loved to have the
Mendoza line for his batting average. He would have been like, Ah,
(33:06):
I'm killing it. I'm batt in two hundred here he
was a one ninety guy. All Right, we'll take a break,
last call for phone calls, what we learn, what's in
store tomorrow. Also the gambling podcast that'll be coming up.
It'll be available at Danpatrick dot com this afternoon. Shayan
Irving will give his thoughts on the uh I guess,
the dismissal of Mike McCarthy, the parting of ways that'll
(33:28):
be on the podcast coming up a little bit later on.
We're back after this.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
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 (33:42):
Last call for Phone Calls, What we learn, What's in
store tomorrow, Dan and the Dan Nuts. Caleb Williams was
on A'man Ross Saint Brown's podcast, and Uh, I'm on
Ross Saint Brown asked Caleb Williams about what he wanted
as the Bear's next head coach.
Speaker 15 (34:00):
Coach selfishly, I want an offensive minded guy so I
can build with him and be with that coach for
the next nineteen seventeen fifteen years, and so I can
also learn.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
And grow and you know, things like that from.
Speaker 15 (34:15):
Him and what he's seen and what he you know,
what he's gone through with you know, maybe other qbs.
Speaker 7 (34:20):
Or been around.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Okay, Cat Williams should have said the following to i'mon
Ross Saint Brown, what if I wanted to coach? I
want your offensive coordinator. That's what I want to coach selfishly,
and I'd like maybe a couple of offensive linemen. That's
what I would like, all right. The last call for
phone Calls, Bob in Montana. Hi Bob, welcome back.
Speaker 11 (34:44):
Oh hey DP, two quick things here. Your final caller
on Monday said he was a semi finalist for Survivor,
and actually back in two thousand and four, I was
a semi finalist as well. That one of my buddies
worked on the show for eight seasons. He's on that
Christmas card that I sent you guys. So if that
caller wants an edge, I'd be happy to relay my
experiences in the interview process and then maybe that way
(35:07):
at least somebody from Deep Nation will get on the show.
And then second, my daughter and I actually go ice
fishing quite a bit. Historically, you guys take off the
final the week after the Super Bowl, So I was
just gonna invite you out if you wanted to come
out to Montana after that, I will take you out
to Georgetown Lake, which is just right down the street
from where you go on your big fly fishing trips
(35:27):
in the summer with your brother.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Well, I first have to conquer the state of Maine
before I'm going to branch out conquer. Yeah, I have
to conquer Maine and then maybe I'll start to look
seek out other states to conquer.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
The challenges.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Yes, yes, Scott in Scottsdale. Hi Scott and Scottsdale.
Speaker 16 (35:49):
Hey Dan, I'm a little out of my geographical element
with respect to where Bob lives and where you are
right now. But a couple of things about ice fishing.
If you can make sure using your ardor that's at
least four inches thick, you're in pretty good shape. You
also want like a blue and clear ice. So what's
usually an indication that's sticking up to skate across and
(36:11):
worstate scenario is if you do find yourself in the water,
if you have the picks and you can put them
as horizontally apart from you as possible, we'll kicking your legs.
You can usually float up enough where you can pull
yourself up until the said ledge and you have a
little capability.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Well, thank you, Scott. Yes, I am checking with the locals.
They tell me about what the ice needs to look like,
and then you know and usually you know what. Here's
my rule of thumb. If I see trucks that are
parked on the lake, then I realize that it probably
can hold me, me and my dog. So we're probably
(36:50):
about two hundred and fifty pounds combined there, So I
think we'll be we'll be okay if I and also
I follow tracks. If I go on the ice and
there's snow, I just follow where there's people tracks and
uh and let's I'm walking and all of a sudden
those tracks disappear. Yes, yes, would.
Speaker 17 (37:12):
You follow the big guy.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
Let's say a bunch of people are walking on the
ice when you stand like ten feet behind the biggest guy,
because if he's okay, you're okay.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
If it's like if a bear was chasing me and
I was with Todd, I'd feel really good because I'll
run faster. I'll run faster than Todd, guaranteed that's fair.
And then the bear bear will be, you know, taking
care of Todd, and I'll be running away, getting ready
to grab my auger. Uh Andy in Rhode Island, High Andy, Hey.
Speaker 16 (37:46):
Good morning, Dan Dennis.
Speaker 13 (37:47):
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Marvin Pritzy?
Speaker 18 (37:50):
Then I actually have a personal question. I know you
had to wait with you late with the ladies back
in the day with that voice, But what did you
figure out that you actually had.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
A radio voice?
Speaker 8 (38:00):
This silky dad, let me tell.
Speaker 18 (38:01):
You, when it comes to the speakers, it is killing it,
and I'm surprised more ladies aren't calling.
Speaker 5 (38:10):
I.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
They're probably intimidated, though, I think I think that's probably
the kindest thing that I could say about it. Andy, it's, uh,
you can't buy this. You can't just lucky. You got
to have this voice and you have to have this
hair and uh, it's that's a combo platter. It's like
having you know, power and speed. Yes, Todd, it's like
(38:33):
those supermodels.
Speaker 19 (38:34):
They go in the trusts and say, no, I'm not
dating anybody. No one's interested in me. I can't find anybody.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
No one approaches Well no, no, I was telling the truth.
Nobody was interested in me.
Speaker 19 (38:44):
But it's the intimidation factor of the voice though. It
is what he was getting at.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
That's why, Todd Todd, if I went, Hi, how are you? Hey,
I just want to I just want to say lo
yeah it myself. Thank you. Tom.
Speaker 19 (39:02):
I know I'm not the problem for I.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Know guys would get excited when I would talk to them.
That's a problem. Hey, could you get me a beer? Hey?
I know that voice. Yeah, I'll bet you do. Yeah.
Speaker 17 (39:17):
See, I just had a conversation while waiting to pick
up my son from soccer the other day another dad
that I know very very well.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Great guy.
Speaker 17 (39:27):
He's just like, hey, so how's Dan doing?
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Good? God?
Speaker 17 (39:29):
What a voice? What a voice?
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 17 (39:32):
Yeah, yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's pretty good. You guys take it
for granted. It's true. I mean, imagine if I had
a high pitched voice and you had to listen to
it every day for three hours. Instead, you get to
listen to.
Speaker 19 (39:46):
This and he asks us great questions too.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
That yeah, oh he does, he does. Yeah. He doesn't
look as good as he sounds though, that's part of that.
Speaker 17 (39:57):
It would be a lot different though, if you like
you s as Jerome vettis, like, uh, you know, if.
Speaker 12 (40:03):
Ben Roethlisberger is still the best quarterback.
Speaker 17 (40:05):
In Pittsburgh, I would I don't listen. I've heard some
shows like that. I'm aware of some shows, Like I
was in Chicago, I covered that team.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Oh go to d Wow hring back.
Speaker 17 (40:22):
A jam, Late Lake Jams.
Speaker 14 (40:25):
What that's the should have thrown them this day in
sports history.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Got to get it back together after that Dad.
Speaker 3 (40:34):
Nineteen sixty one, Mickey Mandl signed the highest one season
contract in baseball history, seventy five thousand dollars in nineteen
sixty one and uh oh, nineteen eighty eight, the Saint
Louis Cardinals announced they're moving to Phoenix. Michael Jordan ninety
three had sixty four points against your Orlando Magic.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Mark Sanchez our guest yesterday through three touchdown passes on
this day, Jets upset. The Patriots went to the AFC title?
Todd Wood? Did you learn today?
Speaker 19 (41:02):

But thankfully the wife said no to you getting a chainsaw.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
For right now.
Speaker 19 (41:31):
Okay, it's still up in the air.
Speaker 2 (41:33):

then she'll say, all right, you get a chainsaw. Look
forward to talking to you tomorrow. Take care
