Speaker 2 (00:46):
It's a special week at super Bowl Week.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Every day's is super Bowl on this show, and the
folks at Treger feel the same way. So Chad and
Julie are here from Tregor and it's a meet Wednesday.
I went out and checked out the menu. Here they
got wings, ribs, burnt ends, sliders, hot dogs, meat balls, poppers,
kettle corn, check mix, pizza poppers, chocolate cupcakes, and loaded
(01:11):
tater tots.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Who has it better than we do?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Nobody?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Yeah, all right. Pull question for hour two is gonna
be on seton Well, we just got this suggestion from
Gary on social media. Pull question idea Fritzy's ideas is
that a Bennet or a ben Yenno.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Todd do you want to explain that.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
I think that they should call each fifteen minute period
during Super Bowl Sunday in New Orleans the French Quarters.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Okay, I'm just putting it, by the way, not just
the one that one specific idea, but a blanket idea
over Todd's ideas in general, Bennet or.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Ben Yanno.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Ben trade deadline is tomorrow and the DraftKings odds Joseph
n Kitsch is He's tied right now with Jimmy Butler.
Those are the odds on favorites to be traded by
tomorrow's trade deadline. We'll get to phone calls coming up.
By the way, we're talking about Kevin Durant if he
(02:15):
goes so, how many teams will retire his jersey and
he's up there. His odds are pretty good that he'll
be traded as well and followed by Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
He's got the best odds right now.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
But you got Durant with Seattle LOKC, you got Durant
with Golden State, Brooklyn, Phoenix. So he's going to get
three jersey retires, you think so, Marvar too?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Okay, just got this.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Shack has his jersey retired by three teams, the Lakers,
the Magic and the Heat.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Well they did win a championship with them. He should
have won MVP there. Oh, okay, one of those Nash
MVPs with Shacks. Okay, well I agree that, yes, Jack
deserve one of those. But okay, so Shack is up
there with Wilt the only guys to have three jerseys
retired three different friends. The Celtics did retire shacks jersey.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
That's one of those where when you're looking at the
end of somebody's career and you're going, oh, I forgot
the Celtics years or was it the Celtic year? Yes,
PAULI do you think that.
Speaker 6 (03:21):
Shack is overrated, underrated or properly rated his playing career.
M Stay with me for a second, because, like I
think Barkley's playing career is underrated because he's such a personality,
underrated as a power forward.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
I think Shack might be lightly underrated.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
Historically because of his or his presence, but his actual
game and dominance.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Yes, Bara, I got to disagree because he's always referred
to as the most dominant center ever when it's the
most blank ever. I don't think you're underrated, Chuck. Yes,
the fact that he was undersized and overweight and was
dominating on the boards no offense.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
No, I guess you're allowed to say that.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Now we've done that to Luca and Zion, so I
guess you can have a call back there with Charles
being over overweight. Yes, yeah, I don't know if Shaquille
is overrated or underrated, but you can point to one
specific way to stop him or to make him ineffective
in the game, and that is like a negative.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
You know, if you just get.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Him to the foul line, he's not gonna You took
him out of the game. Well, that was his kryptonite.
It was Wilt's kryptonite, terrible free throw shooter. Yes, Tom,
but I agree.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
With Paulie as far as underrated because a lot of
people see someone that big.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Like if I was that big or anybody can do that.
If you're that big and strong, you should be unstoppable.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
And that takes away from some of his actual abilities
as a basketball player.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
It takes a little more than just being a big
guy to.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Do what he did.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Yes, Mark, but no, Benjamin was the same size as Shaq,
but he wasn't doing with Shaq. Was Nley Roberts right,
Kevin Dunkworth good player, but he wasn't Shack.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Yeah, well, Yao Ming was the only guy who was
bigger than Shaq, which is amazing though significantly. Yes, when
you're around Yao Ming, like you're around Shack, and you go,
there's nobody bigger in the world. And then you see
Yao Ming and you go, damn, he is a lot
bigger than Shaq. Yes, Paul, who's first ten years?
Speaker 6 (05:31):
Would you want if you were a franchise Shaquille O'Neil
or Jakim Olajuan.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Well, I love the King Shoo the Keem's my favorite center.
I love a Kim Olaju one. I mean, Shaq is dominating,
but I think nobody says, boy, a team should have
won more, but they do that with Shaq should have
won more.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Will Chamberlain should have won more.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
But I don't know if we do that with other
players like big Man, you always get should have won
Nobody said, boy Kobe should have won more.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Jordan should have won more. Yes, yes, Mark.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
I think with Shaq, it's the combination of Shaq and Kobe.
When they hit their three peat, Kobe was twenty three
years old. You know, crazy, that sounds so Kobe. They
twenty one, twenty two to twenty three year old Kobe,
like twenty seven, twenty eight, twenty nine year old Shack
and then that was it. I know they had Tim
Dunket over there and all that, but they were dominating
(06:26):
in a really tough Western Conference. And the fact that
I told you it feels like the Cowboys of the
nineties where it's like, wait, they could have kept going
the Cowboys. They're probably the youngest team ever to win
the Super Bowl, that first one against the Bills, and
then all right, let's run off five and they only
ran only but they only ran off three. So both
of those teams, it's like a lot of what could
(06:48):
have been. But I think it's the combination of Shaq
and Kobe.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
All right, So poll question for hour two is going
to be watch Steeden. Well, I've been trying to figure
out one. But can you compare the chief dynasty?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Right? I think we're in one to the Patriots dynasty?
Speaker 3 (07:04):
All Right, I don't know if the Chiefs are quite
there yet, but it's certainly the conversation to have. Right, Well,
they're a dynasty, but you would have to go pick
your dynasty with the Patriots. That is, at the beginning
of Tom's career or the end of Tom's career. You
can't do the whole thing. Well, I don't think that
that's fair to the Chiefs. I mean what the Patriots
did unless you said, oh, we're going to have the
(07:27):
Chiefs now and then go back to the seventies when
you know they won a Super Bowl. Like, there's a
twenty year period where the Patriots were competitive. Granted they
had what a nine or ten year window where they
didn't win, but I still made it. Yeah, but I'd
still take what the Patriots did is more impressive, definitely.
(07:47):
But if you three peete, now you've done something nobody
else has done that to me would supersede what the
Patriots did with any of their dynasties, whether it's in
the beginning or the in the end. And in the
beginning they were a defense sib minded team like Kansas
City now is defense. And then they you know, then
the Patriots became more offensive minded when Tom got you know,
(08:09):
more comfortable and probably got more leeway to do what
he wanted to do. Kansas City started out like the
way the Patriots ended up where they were, you know,
wide open scoring points, and now they're a defensive minded team,
sort of the opposite. There a couple of phone calls
in here JJ and Florida. Good morning, JJ, what's on
your mind today?
Speaker 8 (08:30):
Damn, thanks for taking that call. I was flashing back
yesterday so I believe it was your very first trip
to the Super Bowl in Miami in the RV and
then you had the look in with the.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
Playmaker getting rained on.
Speaker 8 (08:45):
I was just thinking how far the show has gone
through the years, and I got to thinking who would
be your favorite guests of all times?
Speaker 7 (08:55):
Personally?
Speaker 8 (08:55):
I remember last week before you mentioned how good a
guest Steve Young is love. I believe his name is
right Thompson. That we're happy to end Winkle book and
the Playmaker that you know they know you in the hood,
Deep Deep brothers in the hood. Got cable. Who are
your favorite guests?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Thank you Michael, Thank you JJ.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
We had Michael Irvan in New Orleans and that's when
it was raining and then there were white things that
fell down on his jacket and Mike said, I can't
have little white specks on my jacket, and uh, so
we gave him an umbrella. James Lofton had an umbrella there.
But we are roof leaked in New Orleans because in
(09:38):
Miami we had an RV and then we just had,
you know, one of those awnings that rolled out, and
then we had a ton of water up there right
before we're going on the air at the super Bowl
where we got brooms. You know, I got upper management
at Direct TV out there with brooms knocking all this
water off so we could do the show. Uh things
(09:59):
have changed just a little bit. Yeah, but Michael Lherman
was always a good guest. We have so many, you know,
that's way too many. I mean, Barkley's always going to
be a one seed because Charles comes on and he
doesn't care. He'll just tell you and that always helps
when you have somebody who's willing to tell you something
and not waste your time. If you're listening or watching,
(10:20):
you know the show Curtis in Illinois. Hi Curtis, what's
on your mind today.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Morning?
Speaker 9 (10:26):
T be two questions for you. If a direct trade
to Golden State actually happens, does d Raymond Green have
to be involved in that trade to get sent back
to the Suns, because after all the trash talk can
make coexist again? And then is the real reasons seat
and had to drive the Makeo van so you can
take back all the little chow sees on the desk
(10:47):
and half of that set to the man Cave in Milford.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
No, but it's a good idea.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
If there was something large that I could put into
the Makeo Van, then I would do that. But all
the chochkeys that you see in front of me, we'll
be able to pack up the big german. He'll do
that and then we'll send this back to the man Cave.
But as far as Draymond Green, I don't think they're
gonna trade Draymond or he'd be part of it because
you can't have him with Nurkic because.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
They don't like each other.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
If you don't trade Nurkic, right, Marvin, correct, Yeah, then
you can't go. Hey, uh, you guys playing ice in
the sandbox here.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I you know, Jonathan Kaminga always feels like it's those
young guys that they would be trade if they get
Kevin Durant, if they get Kevin Durant. Jonathan in South Dakota, Hi, Jonathan, Hey.
Speaker 10 (11:37):
Hey DPI you doing one six five, six to one
either way?
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Hey?
Speaker 10 (11:45):
So I was thinking so with the Luca trade to
Los Angeles, right, that tells Lebron that it's going to
be the end of his era there? Should he not
just try to pick up kd or maybe even staff
move to Dallas, take Browny with him and get murked
the West.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I don't know if Lebron wants to leave. You know,
it's weird at this stage of his career. We think
if Steph Curry might be like, hey, this is the
last chance. Can you get me something? And can you
bring in Kevin Durant? Can we make one more run
in a championship? I don't know if Lebron feels like
he's closer to a title now than he was a
couple of days ago.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Probably not.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
But if Lebron wins another title, I don't think it
brings him closer to Michael Jordan. It does with the
number of titles, I think people have already made up
their mind. Lebron has had the greatest NBA career ever.
There's nothing else that he's going to be able to do.
If he wins another title'll be like, Okay, won another title,
(12:48):
Luca's going to get the credit for that. And it's
the same with Durant and goes back to Golden State.
It won't be his title, it'll be Steph Curry's. The
other ones you can say those were Durant's because he
was MVP. But I don't know if there's anything Lebron
could do wherever we go. You know what, on second thought,
he's better than Jordan.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Yes, Mark, So for you, when it comes to the
greatest player ever, you think he's gonna have the greatest
NBA career, But Jordan's the greatest NBA player.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I don't want to I don't want to get into
this because for me.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
You just go by peak, like would you take Lebron
from nine to twenty sixteen and you take Jordan from
eighty seven to ninety three.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
I don't think there's the wrong answer there, I really don't.
I think Lebron's domination is underrated. He wasn't a highlight
like Mike was. Therefore, sometimes we like the shiny object.
And look, if you said I got Mike, I'd be like,
all right, And if you said you got Lebron, I'd.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Be like, okay as well.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
But I think what Lebron has done the longevity, I mean,
you could make this argument it's as impressive as anybody's
career in any sport because of what he done at
this age, what he has continued to do.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
And this is what Luca needs to learn from Lebron.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
How to be a professional, how to be accountable, how
to make sure that you spend the money to be
in shape you don't get to you know, there are
a lot of guys that used to get to a
team and then get in shape when they got to
the team in pre season spring training. That's not the
case anymore, and Lebron changed that. Michael Jordan changed it,
(14:27):
Martina Nervatulova changed it.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
It's I'm going to.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Incorporate weights, I'm going to get stronger, I'm going to
be ready to go when the season starts. That's what
Luca needs to learn from Lebron. He knows everything about basketball,
he needs to learn this about being a professional.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
That's what I think.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
The best thing that Lebron can do, the best assist
he can give, is to teach Luca how to be
more like Lebron as far as getting in shape, staying
in shape, being healthy, being out there.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Yeah, Pauling, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
As we're talking about this, I keep thinking that we
give so little coverage to how Steph Curry's career is
going to end. And it's making me a little bummed
because I've enjoyed watching him as much as almost any
athlete of my lifetime from an entertainment value, and it
feels like it's just gonna flutter away at the end
of his career.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
I can't imagine. It's not on him.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
It's about the situation he's in with his roster, and
he's probably not going to be traded. I don't see
everysurgence a last call for Steph Curry, and his last
moment might be the Olympics, like where you're like he
captured the world.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Well, the last call is right now. If they can
get somebody, can you get Kevin Durant And is that enough?
Does that change the West? Are you immediately the team
to beat or one of the two or three teams? See,
that's one of those teams that let's say you played
Oklahoma City in a seven game series, I would lean
towards Golden State if I had Durant and I had Steph,
(15:48):
Like they know what they're doing. Yeah, see yeah, I
love Kevin Durant and he's always that guy like, whoa,
you had Kevin Durant, Now you really got something. But
he's on a couple of teams now where they've added
Kevin Durantam, man, they really have something. And then a
year later it's like, well, I think he's gonna get
traded again. Yeah, well he's not carrying a team anymore.
He carried Golden State certainly in the in the playoffs,
(16:11):
in the finals, and but I would love to see
Steph be on that platform one more time where you go, Okay,
he's playing in a big game. I don't know if
it's going to be there though, But they're desperate. They
are desperate to try to get somebody.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Yes, Mark, Yeah, I think Kevin Durant his best role
is just to be a hired gun. Like when he
came to Golden State, They're like, look, all we need
for you is to do this with like Brooklyn and
maybe Phoenix. Hey be the leader, be the galvanizer and
all that. Like look, man, I'm just trying. He's one
of those guys. When he's fifty, he's gonna be playing
at the YNCA Someway. All he wants to do is
(16:48):
play basketball. That is, just be a sniper.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Yeah, as long as he stays healthy and if that happens,
and you know, he can be reunited with Steph and
unfortunately dran On, you know, do you do it? Sure
you're not gonna win anything in Phoenix. I didn't like
the mix when they first made the trades. But it
might be Devin Booker, last guy he turned out the lights. Yeah, Mark, Yeah,
(17:16):
Bradley Beal. He's this generation is Mitch Richmond. You can't
remember one basket he made.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Great? I said, you can't do that too. You know,
I love Mitch Richmond.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
He's a great player. Name a basket run TMC name
all right, okay, kind of mean spirit, kind of you know,
people would kill to have Mitch Richmond's career.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Apparently you wouldn't. Oh, I would, yeah, dangn out of nowhere.
I was a buster Douglas punch.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Damn.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I'm looking for my mouthpiece after that.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
All right, I don't even know that Mitch Richmond's total
career salary, by the way, is even one year of
Bradley Beal's his whole career, what he made. I think
Bradley bial might make more than that in a season. God,
and you're right, name me a Bradley Beal hoop. Yeah,
but he played on bad teams nobody I was watching.
(18:12):
But even then, I still.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Don't remember of it. Did you remember that play? That move?
Speaker 6 (18:17):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Uh, I don't. It was a fifteen foot jumper. All right,
we'll take a break.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
South Palantonio is gonna join us, coming up, and we'll
get to more phone calls Jim Harball a little bit
later on. We're back after this on The Dan Patrick Show.

Hey, we're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day
five to seven pm Eastern.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 11 (18:56):
We never have enough time to get to everything we
want to get to and.
Speaker 12 (18:59):
That's why we have a brand new podcast called over Promised.
You see, we're having so much fun in our two
hour show. We never get to everything, honestly, because this
guy is over promising things we never have time for.
Speaker 11 (19:11):
Yeah, you blubber litame in me. Well, you know what
it's called over promise. You should be good at it
because you've been over promising women for years. Well, it's
a Covino and Rich after show, and we want you
to be a part of it. We're gonna be talking sports,
of course, but we're also gonna talk life and relationships.
And if Rich and I are arguing about something or
we didn't have enough time, it will continue on our
after show called over Promised. Well, if you don't get
(19:32):
enough Covino and Rich, make sure you check out over
Promised and also Uncensored, by the way, so maybe we'll
go at it even a little harder. It's gonna be
the best after show podcast of all time.
Speaker 12 (19:41):
There you go over promising. Remember you could see on YouTube,
but definitely join us. Listen over Promised with Covino and
Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
More of your phone calls coming up. We have an
in or out coming up, I believe, is that right, Paulie.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
Yes, a special Super Bowl addition and one of the
toughest inter out questions in inter out history, which is
almost six months long.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
It's got to take us a long time to figure
out if we're in or out on that one specific question.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
And then we'll play the MVP game.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
And I think the rules are if you go first
picking the Super Bowl MVP, then you go last when
it comes back. It's just sneak draft, is what that's called.
So let's say Marvin, you would have the first pick.
That would mean you would have the last pick coming back.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
I'm taking Do I save it?
Speaker 3 (20:31):
No, you don't have the first pick yet. We have
to pick numbers out of the hat before uh and
is there anything at stake here? What do you get
if you what a thirty pack? A thirty pack of
Miller nine. Yeah, okay, so that means I only have
two thirty packs for Super Bowl Sunday. All right, fair enough,
(20:52):
let's see what we can do. All right, he's South Palantonio,
the ESPN national correspondent, none of that local court responded.
He's a national correspondent covering the NFL for decades. And
we say, all to South Palatonio, the mothership. All right,
here we go, always dressed, sounds, always ready for maybe
(21:16):
a live shot, you know, just in case one breaks
out here, grab a microphone.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
He'll be ready to go.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Let's go out to South Palatonio. Who joins us in
New Orleans? What was it like the first time you
were on TV live?
Speaker 4 (21:30):
You know, it wasn't too bad because I had a
little bit of training as a newspaper reporter. So it
was all about getting those sentences out and getting them
out clean, looking into the camera, making sure that you
know you had the hair in place.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Of course, that more than yes, I know, that's more
important than the information.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
You don't look good. Not gonna matter what you say, Dad.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
But you know when you see people who are in
print and they do TV, yeah, print is different as
far as what you're gathering. You're never worried about what
you look like. But when you do TV, you have
to get your interviews information, and then you got to
all of a sudden comb your hair and go on TV.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Yeah, it's a little more.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Of a collaborative effort than being a newspaper reporter. You're
only as good as those people around you. Have had
great people all the way throughout the people who hired
me at ESPN, people who I work with at ESPN.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
How many years have you been at ESPN.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
It'll be thirty on August first, thirty years.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
How has the Super Bowl coverage changed in those thirty years?
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Well, social media explosion is crazy. I mean opening night,
it was wall to wall, shoulder to shoulder. You couldn't
even move.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Players were packed into groups of reporters and they were
unable to really go more than a half a foot.
It was really intense and wild and crazy.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
I mean, it wasn't wild and crazy in terms of
the questions that were being asked, but there were just
a lot of social media people there, and there are
a lot of social media people here covering.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Every aspect of the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Yesterday at the hotel I walked was walking around and
talking to some of the catering people and the catering.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
People at the Supernoll there's four thousand of them.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
They have a team of like ten social media people
who just handle social media for catering.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
But do we have enough content to satisfy everybody who
covers the NFL, Because sometimes that leads to a story
that maybe isn't as big of his stories as it
is or should be, and it becomes bigger because we
have wishful reporting on some of these things.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
I mean everybody's trying to get as much clicks as
they possibly can for you know, I'm not I have
a very benign social media presence there. I have a
little bit of an Instagram.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I'm not on X. I think I'm the only one
at ESPN not on X and I like it that way.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
If you break, if you have information, are you allowed
to break or does it like you have to defer
to Adam Schefter at all?
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Well, now you're getting personal, Dad, Now you're getting personal.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I'm not up against the break either, Sal we have
plenty of time.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Okay, I was that in the script?
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Sorry you didn't ask for a list of questions.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I didn't ask for.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Short answer, no short answer, no, you know, I call
the news desk still old fashioned.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
You know, the number is still the same number as
when I got there thirty years ago.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
I called the news desk, or you know, I have
my producer called the news desk, and we might put
it out on Instagram, you know, just to satisfy people.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
And it happened to me one time on vacation where
I'm with Tony Dungee's agent, and he said, hey, do
you know Tony's gonna get the job. He's going to
be a head coach at Tampa. And I said, okay,
So I called the assignment desk and they said, well,
we need a second source, so I.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Says the Dinosaur Ace.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Then I said, yeah, you don't need two sources anymore,
and then they so they ended up giving it to
Chris Mortenson.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
And then and I was like, okay, you know, I
don't want to be in the breaking news business.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
And I don't consider myself in the quote unquote breaking
news missus. And I'm not a quote unquote insider. You know,
I joke around all the time when I'm on radio.
When they asked me a question about a contract, I'm like,
you know, that's one eight hundred.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Adam chef, Call Adam and he'll have the inside school.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
So, you know, I think it's important that you know,
we figure out as a team, and we do it
pretty well at ESPN.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
You know where our lane is. My job is to
be embedded with the Eagles.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
This week, So if it moves at the Eagles Hotel,
I'm responsible for it and putting it on television or
on radio. And being embedded with the Eagles is kind
of fun. It's you know, stem to stern, wall to wall.
I live eleven miles from Lincoln Financial Field, had for
twenty five years, so you.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Know, people haven't they expect me to find out what's
going on.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Where were you when the Saquon Barkley As far as
your opinion on Saquon Barkley coming to the Eagles, well,
you know.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I think it's just an incredible story.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Listen, not the time, though, Where was I Yeah, Noil, Like,
at the time, what did you think? You know, it
felt like it's a little pricey. That offens not.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Pricy at all.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
I mean, this was a I think this was the
number one free agent acquisition in the last.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Twenty five years in the National Football.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
League without a debt since Reggie White.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Well, yeah, going back.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
To Reggie White, Reggie White brought a Super Bowl to
Green Bay And is my first story actually covering the
Eagles for the Philadelphia Inquirer was a letter from then
Mayor ed Rendell to the owner of the team, Norman Brayman,
begging him to keep Reggie White in Philadelphia, and Norman
Brayman saying, you know what, let me run my football team,
(27:23):
you run the city of Philadelphia's That was actually my
first story that actually wrote, and so it's come full circle.
But I think it since Reggie White, this is the
number one free agent acquisition by any team, and Barkley
is a different cat.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Dan Barkley is not only on the field but off
the field.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
I was talking to his running backs coach, Jamal Singleton
on opening night and Singleton said, listen, when your best
player is your hardest worker, everybody falls into line.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
And that's Barkley.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
But also just from a contextual standpoint of the culture
in New Jersey, Philadelphia and New York, nobody had honestly,
nobody has traveled.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
More on the Jersey Turnpike than me from.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
Exit four to Exit sixteen W and back in the
last thirty years, I have worn out my easy pass. Okay,
I just put new I just put new tires on
my car for like the fifth time.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
On this particular. I love this car because it doesn't
beat bat me when I don't have my seatbelt done.
Hey hey, hey.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
But you know, and I see what happened in New
York and North Jersey when saw and I hear from
friends all the time because I grew up in New York.
You know, this displacement of that player from the Giants
to the Eagles. And it's only eighty nine miles from
MetLife to Lincoln Financial feel, but the cultural chasm is huge.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
New York is the financial mecca.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Philadelphia is the hard scrabble, working class center of football
in Pennsylvania. And Barkley has fit in really well right away,
and he's become a great leader.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
But when he dropped the pass earlier this season and
the reaction to that.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
You mean against Atlanta on Monday night football. Yeah, yeah,
I think he's made amends.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Oh no, I'm not worried about him.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
I'm the fans were, because we were going to have
him on that next day and he said, I can't.
It'll be a bad look if I come on and
then we saw the fallout from that. Now, all of
a sudden, he's firmly embraced and.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Well, not all of a sudden. That was week watched.
That was opening night for the Eagles, So that was,
you know, week two of the season. You know, it's
seventeen weeks.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Later, Dan, not overnight.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
I mean, he is, without a doubt, one of the
most beloved athletes that I've ever seen in a twelve
month period.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Good because he's a great kid, dude, great kid, and
I've enjoyed a friendship with him. But I I don't
if he didn't ruin the MVP, there's not going to
be a running back winning the MVP.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
So in our lifetime it's not going to happen again.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
And he should be the MVP.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Yes, if you look at what he did, if he
he I think he made the right decision not playing
in the last game. I had no problem with that
because he has to get ready for this. That was
the goal, not hey, I'm going to break a record,
you know, break the all time rushing record for an
entire season, including the postseason win, a Super Bowl win,
a Super Bowl MVP. But We're not going to have
(30:30):
a running back if it's not Saquon. With what he
meant to this team, he changed them, he changed their offense.
We're not going to have another running back MVP.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
No, And I think you're right.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
I think it wasn't It was good for him not
to play in that last game. And when I sat
down with him in August, right before the season started,
right before we went to Brazil, and he said, I
want to rewrite my story. He said, I want to
rewrite my story and I want to wait, I'm going
to rewrite it to win.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
A super Bowl, not go to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
Not win a rushing title, not be the MVP when
and he said that to me on Opening Night, same thing,
that's gonna define who I am.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
And yeah, let a super Bowl do more for Saquon
Barkley or Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
I think Jalen Hurts, you know, absolutely, And I think
Jalen Hurts could easily be the MVP of this game.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Okay, but if you're Kansas City, you want to get
in a shootout here, you want Jalen Hurts to be
throwing the football.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
IM guessing would be their defensive philosophy, and.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
That would be the Eagles offensive philosophy.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
I think in this football game, like they want to
throw the ball, I would say throw it early and
often bombs away for a lot of different reasons. Dan,
a lot of different reasons. First and foremost, you gotta
say to Kansas City, we can throw the ball on you.
We got DeVante Smith and A. J.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Brown one two.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
We're gonna keep Justin Reid and Trent McDuffie occupied and
the rest of that secondary occupied so that you're not
in run support on Saquon Barkley.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
We're gonna loosen you up.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
We're gonna get Steve Spagnolo something to think about before
he brings Justin Reid down on those safety blitzes on
third and fourth down. We're gonna hit the big long
ball and loosen you up. The old adage of you
throw to score and run to win is true in
this game. Remember the Eagles scored thirty five points against
(32:30):
this Chiefs defense two years ago when they were in
the Super Bowl. They can score points this Eagles offense.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
But don't you lead with Saquon to open it up,
to have those defensive backs creep up and then you
go deep.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
You could do either way, but I think it's throw
throw first. You know, he always there. You got established
the running game. You know, we established the running game.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
Throw the football, yeah, And I think if that happens
and Jalen Hurts doesn't turn the ball, I think the
Eagles have a real shot at winning this game. But
you know, I was listening to your conversation. You know
what Mick Jagger said about the Beatles, Are they the
foreheaded monster? And that's what you have here with the Chiefs.
You got a four headed monster. You got Reed, Spagnolo,
(33:14):
Mahomes and Kelsey. And I think if they three p
it will go down as the greatest dynasty of all time,
without a doubt, in the NFL, in the NFL, without
a doubt, move over Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Dallas, San Francisco
and the Patriots, because you're doing it in a different environment, right.
(33:35):
There's never been this much money in the NFL and
this much upheaval and a seventeen game season, and I
think this is an incredible feat. If they do win
this Super Bowl and have a three P, I think
it will go down as the greatest quarterback coach combination
and the greatest dynasty in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Who has more to gain? Andy Reid or Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
Well, I think both of them, Nielsen. I'm a voter,
as you know, as a Hall of Fame voter. They're
both going first ballot Hall of Fame Read and Mahomes,
and I think they're you know, they're tied together.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Is Eli going in first ballot this year? Good question.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
Don't know Eli deserves to be. I pushed for him
to be first ballot. We will find out tomorrow. But
you have a general sense of being in that room.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
I do have a general sense. I think there was
considerable sport for Eli.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
But why don't you break it now before chef de breaks.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
All right?
Speaker 2 (34:32):
I think that's only fair.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Because I don't want to get a call from Canton, Ohio.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Great to see you as always, oh Dan.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
This is great, great thanks, such a pleasure.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Love spending time with you, certainly at the super Bowl
and have fun on Sunday. Thank you At South pal Antonio.

break news, he sprains it. It's Adam Schefter who breaks
that news. We'll come back after this. Thanks for listening

We have a trade. Marvin just said, Chris Middleton going
from the Bucks to the Wizards for Kyle Kuzma.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Come on, that's not nice to Chris. No, it's not.
Chris Middleton's probably going wait, what did I do?
Speaker 3 (35:32):
There's a point in time that moving Chris Middleton would
have been a big deal. Yes, yes, Now we got
to be careful when we say blockbuster deal from now on,
Like Luca, that's a blockbuster deal.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
This is just a deal.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
It's Kyle Kuzma going to Milwaukee and Chris Middleton going
to the Wizards.
Speaker 6 (35:51):
Yes, Paul, would you rather go to the Wizards or
go home? Well, I'm gonna still want to play.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
I'm gonna still so you want to continue play, I'm
gonna say, yeah, I would still go to the Wizards.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
There you paused, Yeah, but it's just you know, the
Wizards won back to back games. Recently. Yeah, they did.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
Were you watching NBA TV will give it a renas, Yes, yeah,
because you were watching this Wizard's team.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
No, No, I did watch this Wizard's team. Once again.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
I don't know why I feel obligated to watch games
that nobody else is watching, because I feel like their
parents and relatives are watching, and maybe nobody else. And
the Wizards they're terrible. But Chris Middleton, the artist formerly
known as Say Goodbye Keeper's Heart, new and unique style
of whiskey that combines the best of Irish and American whiskey,
(36:44):
creating a smooth character of Irish whiskey and the bold
flavors of American whiskey. Is if you're a whiskey fan,
you gotta try it drink responsibly.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
All right? Are we ready to play? In or out?
You're either in or out on the topics here.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Chris Haynes, we think is gonna to join us unless
there's other trades that he's keeping an eye on.
Speaker 6 (37:04):
And Jim Harball will join us next home. All right, Paul,
just to recap, you're either in or out. That's right,
Thank you, Dan, always helpful. The Dallas Mavericks know what
they're doing.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
I'm in.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
I mean, they know what they're doing. It doesn't mean
that they're doing it correctly, but they know what they're doing. Yes, Marvin,
in or out?
Speaker 4 (37:29):
I'm in.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
I like you, Okay, Todd, I mean to Seaton, Yeah,
super in. Wow, it's a shift. I mean they know
this is there. Whatever they're doing, it's there. Although there's
reports that this doesn't didn't come from the GM, it
went it was above the GM who made this, and
it wasn't Mark Cuban.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
I don't know what that means. Here's a new ownership there.
Speaker 6 (37:51):
Here we go, Steph Curry and Lebron James. One of
these two will finish their careers on another team.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
In or out.
Speaker 5 (37:59):
Marvin, I'm out, Todd, I'm in. Seaton I'm out. I'm out,
sadly out. Yeah, I'd like to see one of them.
I'd like to see Lebron moved.
Speaker 7 (38:14):
Maybe trade them for each other, just for you know giggles.
Speaker 6 (38:21):
All right, Andy Reid should not retire as long as
Patrick Mahomes is a chief.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Oh, I'm in and yeahs.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
Yeah, maybe a year or two before, like if Patrick
makes that swing down like I might get out now
and then you know he could he's in a position
where he could sort of cement like, see it was me,
it was actually me that did this, so scenes out ish.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
Yeah, yeah, I'm kind of out. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (38:53):
Next one, the NFL referees are overly criticized in or
out and means you agree at.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
The statement Marvin, I mean Todd. Yeah, man, I'm out.
Speaker 7 (39:09):
I'm in hesitantly in.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (39:12):
This one should be simple. I think the Detroit Lions
should go all in for Miles Carett.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
I'm in.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
In, in, in in in, all in in.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Heck yeah, super in. Yeah, you gotta.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
You don't have many opportunities like this. Take advantage of it.
People want to go, oh, we need our team. We're
built for the long haul.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
Did you win any titles? No, but we were built
for the long haul.
Speaker 6 (39:39):
All right, this is my last one. I want you
to think about this before you're in or out. And
if you're in, you say in. If you're out, you
say out. Okay or at his best, Patrick Mahomes is
better quarterback than Tom Brady was at his best.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Marvin in.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Todd out.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
By the way, today is the anniversary of the Patriots
comeback win over the Atlanta Falcons. No big deal. Yeah,
just no MBD. Yeah, the twenty five point deficit Seaton.
Whichever option is Tom Brad Berrid Brady being better? I'm
in on that one. I don't remember if I'm in
or out on the question. Okay, recap that Tom Brady's better.
Speaker 7 (40:23):
At his best. Mahomes is a better quarterback than Tom
Brady at his best.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
I'm out.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
I'm barely out, like I'm I'm out now until Sunday
night at around eleven o'clock.
Speaker 6 (40:38):
The question is not resume or Super Bowls. It's who
is better at their job at their best, and you
slightly Brady?
Speaker 2 (40:47):
No, that's okay.
Speaker 3 (40:48):
I would say I'm in on Mahomes playing the position
better than Tom right, not the results, because he hasn't
played as long as time.
Speaker 6 (40:56):
I love this question, supposedly because I wrote it, but
more so because it's not just whose better career is.
Speaker 7 (41:03):
We're years away from knowing that, but put people on
the spot right now.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
I would say Mahomes plays the position differently than anybody
who's ever played it and has the end results to
show for it.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
Patrick, Mahomes started about three and a half games and
media was almost like, you know this guy's better than
Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
That isn't true.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
I'm barely exaggerating. How long was it like Tom Brady like, yeah,
but he's good. But is he better than Joe Montana?
Speaker 1 (41:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
Joe Montana never lost a Super Bowl, so he can't
be that. You know, Brady can't be that great. It's crazy.
Mahomes plays the position differently than anyone. Not a better quarterback,
not a better quarterback, he plays the position better. It's semantics.
(41:58):
How about I asked Jim Harball this question, What do
you think he'll say? Update on the NBA trade Duddaine
right after this
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's our two.
Speaker 3 (00:05):

Show come on in stay a while. South pal Antonio
for the Mothership will stop by. We'll talk about Andy
Reid's future, also Travis Kelsey's future, and who could benefit
the most from winning a Super Bowl. If I said,
Patrick mahomes, Andy Reid, Jalen Hurds slash Nick Siriani. So
(00:26):
we'll talk to South Pal Coming up. Jim Harbau will
join us next hour on the program. Stat of the

Speaker 2 (00:46):
It's a special week at super Bowl Week.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Every day's is super Bowl on this show, and the
folks at Treger feel the same way. So Chad and
Julie are here from Tregor and it's a meet Wednesday.
I went out and checked out the menu. Here they
got wings, ribs, burnt ends, sliders, hot dogs, meat balls, poppers,
kettle corn, check mix, pizza poppers, chocolate cupcakes, and loaded
(01:11):
tater tots.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Who has it better than we do?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Nobody?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Yeah, all right. Pull question for hour two is gonna
be on seton Well, we just got this suggestion from
Gary on social media. Pull question idea Fritzy's ideas is
that a Bennet or a ben Yenno.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Todd do you want to explain that.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
I think that they should call each fifteen minute period
during Super Bowl Sunday in New Orleans the French Quarters.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Okay, I'm just putting it, by the way, not just
the one that one specific idea, but a blanket idea
over Todd's ideas in general, Bennet or.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Ben Yanno.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Ben trade deadline is tomorrow and the DraftKings odds Joseph
n Kitsch is He's tied right now with Jimmy Butler.
Those are the odds on favorites to be traded by
tomorrow's trade deadline. We'll get to phone calls coming up.
By the way, we're talking about Kevin Durant if he
(02:15):
goes so, how many teams will retire his jersey and
he's up there. His odds are pretty good that he'll
be traded as well and followed by Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
He's got the best odds right now.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
But you got Durant with Seattle LOKC, you got Durant
with Golden State, Brooklyn, Phoenix. So he's going to get
three jersey retires, you think so, Marvar too?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Okay, just got this.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Shack has his jersey retired by three teams, the Lakers,
the Magic and the Heat.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Well they did win a championship with them. He should
have won MVP there. Oh, okay, one of those Nash
MVPs with Shacks. Okay, well I agree that, yes, Jack
deserve one of those. But okay, so Shack is up
there with Wilt the only guys to have three jerseys
retired three different friends. The Celtics did retire shacks jersey.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
That's one of those where when you're looking at the
end of somebody's career and you're going, oh, I forgot
the Celtics years or was it the Celtic year? Yes,
PAULI do you think that.
Speaker 6 (03:21):
Shack is overrated, underrated or properly rated his playing career.
M Stay with me for a second, because, like I
think Barkley's playing career is underrated because he's such a personality,
underrated as a power forward.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
I think Shack might be lightly underrated.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
Historically because of his or his presence, but his actual
game and dominance.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Yes, Bara, I got to disagree because he's always referred
to as the most dominant center ever when it's the
most blank ever. I don't think you're underrated, Chuck. Yes,
the fact that he was undersized and overweight and was
dominating on the boards no offense.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
No, I guess you're allowed to say that.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Now we've done that to Luca and Zion, so I
guess you can have a call back there with Charles
being over overweight. Yes, yeah, I don't know if Shaquille
is overrated or underrated, but you can point to one
specific way to stop him or to make him ineffective
in the game, and that is like a negative.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
You know, if you just get.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Him to the foul line, he's not gonna You took
him out of the game. Well, that was his kryptonite.
It was Wilt's kryptonite, terrible free throw shooter. Yes, Tom,
but I agree.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
With Paulie as far as underrated because a lot of
people see someone that big.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Like if I was that big or anybody can do that.
If you're that big and strong, you should be unstoppable.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
And that takes away from some of his actual abilities
as a basketball player.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
It takes a little more than just being a big
guy to.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Do what he did.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Yes, Mark, but no, Benjamin was the same size as Shaq,
but he wasn't doing with Shaq. Was Nley Roberts right,
Kevin Dunkworth good player, but he wasn't Shack.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Yeah, well, Yao Ming was the only guy who was
bigger than Shaq, which is amazing though significantly. Yes, when
you're around Yao Ming, like you're around Shack, and you go,
there's nobody bigger in the world. And then you see
Yao Ming and you go, damn, he is a lot
bigger than Shaq. Yes, Paul, who's first ten years?
Speaker 6 (05:31):
Would you want if you were a franchise Shaquille O'Neil
or Jakim Olajuan.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Well, I love the King Shoo the Keem's my favorite center.
I love a Kim Olaju one. I mean, Shaq is dominating,
but I think nobody says, boy, a team should have
won more, but they do that with Shaq should have
won more.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Will Chamberlain should have won more.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
But I don't know if we do that with other
players like big Man, you always get should have won
Nobody said, boy Kobe should have won more.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Jordan should have won more. Yes, yes, Mark.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
I think with Shaq, it's the combination of Shaq and Kobe.
When they hit their three peat, Kobe was twenty three
years old. You know, crazy, that sounds so Kobe. They
twenty one, twenty two to twenty three year old Kobe,
like twenty seven, twenty eight, twenty nine year old Shack
and then that was it. I know they had Tim
Dunket over there and all that, but they were dominating
(06:26):
in a really tough Western Conference. And the fact that
I told you it feels like the Cowboys of the
nineties where it's like, wait, they could have kept going
the Cowboys. They're probably the youngest team ever to win
the Super Bowl, that first one against the Bills, and
then all right, let's run off five and they only
ran only but they only ran off three. So both
of those teams, it's like a lot of what could
(06:48):
have been. But I think it's the combination of Shaq
and Kobe.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
All right, So poll question for hour two is going
to be watch Steeden. Well, I've been trying to figure
out one. But can you compare the chief dynasty?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Right? I think we're in one to the Patriots dynasty?
Speaker 3 (07:04):
All Right, I don't know if the Chiefs are quite
there yet, but it's certainly the conversation to have. Right, Well,
they're a dynasty, but you would have to go pick
your dynasty with the Patriots. That is, at the beginning
of Tom's career or the end of Tom's career. You
can't do the whole thing. Well, I don't think that
that's fair to the Chiefs. I mean what the Patriots
did unless you said, oh, we're going to have the
(07:27):
Chiefs now and then go back to the seventies when
you know they won a Super Bowl. Like, there's a
twenty year period where the Patriots were competitive. Granted they
had what a nine or ten year window where they
didn't win, but I still made it. Yeah, but I'd
still take what the Patriots did is more impressive, definitely.
(07:47):
But if you three peete, now you've done something nobody
else has done that to me would supersede what the
Patriots did with any of their dynasties, whether it's in
the beginning or the in the end. And in the
beginning they were a defense sib minded team like Kansas
City now is defense. And then they you know, then
the Patriots became more offensive minded when Tom got you know,
(08:09):
more comfortable and probably got more leeway to do what
he wanted to do. Kansas City started out like the
way the Patriots ended up where they were, you know,
wide open scoring points, and now they're a defensive minded team,
sort of the opposite. There a couple of phone calls
in here JJ and Florida. Good morning, JJ, what's on
your mind today?
Speaker 8 (08:30):
Damn, thanks for taking that call. I was flashing back
yesterday so I believe it was your very first trip
to the Super Bowl in Miami in the RV and
then you had the look in with the.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
Playmaker getting rained on.
Speaker 8 (08:45):
I was just thinking how far the show has gone
through the years, and I got to thinking who would
be your favorite guests of all times?
Speaker 7 (08:55):
Personally?
Speaker 8 (08:55):
I remember last week before you mentioned how good a
guest Steve Young is love. I believe his name is
right Thompson. That we're happy to end Winkle book and
the Playmaker that you know they know you in the hood,
Deep Deep brothers in the hood. Got cable. Who are
your favorite guests?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Thank you Michael, Thank you JJ.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
We had Michael Irvan in New Orleans and that's when
it was raining and then there were white things that
fell down on his jacket and Mike said, I can't
have little white specks on my jacket, and uh, so
we gave him an umbrella. James Lofton had an umbrella there.
But we are roof leaked in New Orleans because in
(09:38):
Miami we had an RV and then we just had,
you know, one of those awnings that rolled out, and
then we had a ton of water up there right
before we're going on the air at the super Bowl
where we got brooms. You know, I got upper management
at Direct TV out there with brooms knocking all this
water off so we could do the show. Uh things
(09:59):
have changed just a little bit. Yeah, but Michael Lherman
was always a good guest. We have so many, you know,
that's way too many. I mean, Barkley's always going to
be a one seed because Charles comes on and he
doesn't care. He'll just tell you and that always helps
when you have somebody who's willing to tell you something
and not waste your time. If you're listening or watching,
(10:20):
you know the show Curtis in Illinois. Hi Curtis, what's
on your mind today.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Morning?
Speaker 9 (10:26):
T be two questions for you. If a direct trade
to Golden State actually happens, does d Raymond Green have
to be involved in that trade to get sent back
to the Suns, because after all the trash talk can
make coexist again? And then is the real reasons seat
and had to drive the Makeo van so you can
take back all the little chow sees on the desk
(10:47):
and half of that set to the man Cave in Milford.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
No, but it's a good idea.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
If there was something large that I could put into
the Makeo Van, then I would do that. But all
the chochkeys that you see in front of me, we'll
be able to pack up the big german. He'll do
that and then we'll send this back to the man Cave.
But as far as Draymond Green, I don't think they're
gonna trade Draymond or he'd be part of it because
you can't have him with Nurkic because.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
They don't like each other.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
If you don't trade Nurkic, right, Marvin, correct, Yeah, then
you can't go. Hey, uh, you guys playing ice in
the sandbox here.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I you know, Jonathan Kaminga always feels like it's those
young guys that they would be trade if they get
Kevin Durant, if they get Kevin Durant. Jonathan in South Dakota, Hi, Jonathan, Hey.
Speaker 10 (11:37):
Hey DPI you doing one six five, six to one
either way?
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Hey?
Speaker 10 (11:45):
So I was thinking so with the Luca trade to
Los Angeles, right, that tells Lebron that it's going to
be the end of his era there? Should he not
just try to pick up kd or maybe even staff
move to Dallas, take Browny with him and get murked
the West.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I don't know if Lebron wants to leave. You know,
it's weird at this stage of his career. We think
if Steph Curry might be like, hey, this is the
last chance. Can you get me something? And can you
bring in Kevin Durant? Can we make one more run
in a championship? I don't know if Lebron feels like
he's closer to a title now than he was a
couple of days ago.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Probably not.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
But if Lebron wins another title, I don't think it
brings him closer to Michael Jordan. It does with the
number of titles, I think people have already made up
their mind. Lebron has had the greatest NBA career ever.
There's nothing else that he's going to be able to do.
If he wins another title'll be like, Okay, won another title,
(12:48):
Luca's going to get the credit for that. And it's
the same with Durant and goes back to Golden State.
It won't be his title, it'll be Steph Curry's. The
other ones you can say those were Durant's because he
was MVP. But I don't know if there's anything Lebron
could do wherever we go. You know what, on second thought,
he's better than Jordan.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Yes, Mark, So for you, when it comes to the
greatest player ever, you think he's gonna have the greatest
NBA career, But Jordan's the greatest NBA player.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I don't want to I don't want to get into
this because for me.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
You just go by peak, like would you take Lebron
from nine to twenty sixteen and you take Jordan from
eighty seven to ninety three.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
I don't think there's the wrong answer there, I really don't.
I think Lebron's domination is underrated. He wasn't a highlight
like Mike was. Therefore, sometimes we like the shiny object.
And look, if you said I got Mike, I'd be like,
all right, And if you said you got Lebron, I'd.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Be like, okay as well.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
But I think what Lebron has done the longevity, I mean,
you could make this argument it's as impressive as anybody's
career in any sport because of what he done at
this age, what he has continued to do.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
And this is what Luca needs to learn from Lebron.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
How to be a professional, how to be accountable, how
to make sure that you spend the money to be
in shape you don't get to you know, there are
a lot of guys that used to get to a
team and then get in shape when they got to
the team in pre season spring training. That's not the
case anymore, and Lebron changed that. Michael Jordan changed it,
(14:27):
Martina Nervatulova changed it.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
It's I'm going to.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Incorporate weights, I'm going to get stronger, I'm going to
be ready to go when the season starts. That's what
Luca needs to learn from Lebron. He knows everything about basketball,
he needs to learn this about being a professional.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
That's what I think.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
The best thing that Lebron can do, the best assist
he can give, is to teach Luca how to be
more like Lebron as far as getting in shape, staying
in shape, being healthy, being out there.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Yeah, Pauling, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
As we're talking about this, I keep thinking that we
give so little coverage to how Steph Curry's career is
going to end. And it's making me a little bummed
because I've enjoyed watching him as much as almost any
athlete of my lifetime from an entertainment value, and it
feels like it's just gonna flutter away at the end
of his career.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
I can't imagine. It's not on him.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
It's about the situation he's in with his roster, and
he's probably not going to be traded. I don't see
everysurgence a last call for Steph Curry, and his last
moment might be the Olympics, like where you're like he
captured the world.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Well, the last call is right now. If they can
get somebody, can you get Kevin Durant And is that enough?
Does that change the West? Are you immediately the team
to beat or one of the two or three teams? See,
that's one of those teams that let's say you played
Oklahoma City in a seven game series, I would lean
towards Golden State if I had Durant and I had Steph,
(15:48):
Like they know what they're doing. Yeah, see yeah, I
love Kevin Durant and he's always that guy like, whoa,
you had Kevin Durant, Now you really got something. But
he's on a couple of teams now where they've added
Kevin Durantam, man, they really have something. And then a
year later it's like, well, I think he's gonna get
traded again. Yeah, well he's not carrying a team anymore.
He carried Golden State certainly in the in the playoffs,
(16:11):
in the finals, and but I would love to see
Steph be on that platform one more time where you go, Okay,
he's playing in a big game. I don't know if
it's going to be there though, But they're desperate. They
are desperate to try to get somebody.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Yes, Mark, Yeah, I think Kevin Durant his best role
is just to be a hired gun. Like when he
came to Golden State, They're like, look, all we need
for you is to do this with like Brooklyn and
maybe Phoenix. Hey be the leader, be the galvanizer and
all that. Like look, man, I'm just trying. He's one
of those guys. When he's fifty, he's gonna be playing
at the YNCA Someway. All he wants to do is
(16:48):
play basketball. That is, just be a sniper.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Yeah, as long as he stays healthy and if that happens,
and you know, he can be reunited with Steph and
unfortunately dran On, you know, do you do it? Sure
you're not gonna win anything in Phoenix. I didn't like
the mix when they first made the trades. But it
might be Devin Booker, last guy he turned out the lights. Yeah, Mark, Yeah,
(17:16):
Bradley Beal. He's this generation is Mitch Richmond. You can't
remember one basket he made.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Great? I said, you can't do that too. You know,
I love Mitch Richmond.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
He's a great player. Name a basket run TMC name
all right, okay, kind of mean spirit, kind of you know,
people would kill to have Mitch Richmond's career.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Apparently you wouldn't. Oh, I would, yeah, dangn out of nowhere.
I was a buster Douglas punch.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Damn.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I'm looking for my mouthpiece after that.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
All right, I don't even know that Mitch Richmond's total
career salary, by the way, is even one year of
Bradley Beal's his whole career, what he made. I think
Bradley bial might make more than that in a season. God,
and you're right, name me a Bradley Beal hoop. Yeah,
but he played on bad teams nobody I was watching.
(18:12):
But even then, I still.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Don't remember of it. Did you remember that play? That move?
Speaker 6 (18:17):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Uh, I don't. It was a fifteen foot jumper. All right,
we'll take a break.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
South Palantonio is gonna join us, coming up, and we'll
get to more phone calls Jim Harball a little bit
later on. We're back after this on The Dan Patrick Show.

Hey, we're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day
five to seven pm Eastern.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 11 (18:56):
We never have enough time to get to everything we
want to get to and.
Speaker 12 (18:59):
That's why we have a brand new podcast called over Promised.
You see, we're having so much fun in our two
hour show. We never get to everything, honestly, because this
guy is over promising things we never have time for.
Speaker 11 (19:11):
Yeah, you blubber litame in me. Well, you know what
it's called over promise. You should be good at it
because you've been over promising women for years. Well, it's
a Covino and Rich after show, and we want you
to be a part of it. We're gonna be talking sports,
of course, but we're also gonna talk life and relationships.
And if Rich and I are arguing about something or
we didn't have enough time, it will continue on our
after show called over Promised. Well, if you don't get
(19:32):
enough Covino and Rich, make sure you check out over
Promised and also Uncensored, by the way, so maybe we'll
go at it even a little harder. It's gonna be
the best after show podcast of all time.
Speaker 12 (19:41):
There you go over promising. Remember you could see on YouTube,
but definitely join us. Listen over Promised with Covino and
Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
More of your phone calls coming up. We have an
in or out coming up, I believe, is that right, Paulie.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
Yes, a special Super Bowl addition and one of the
toughest inter out questions in inter out history, which is
almost six months long.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
It's got to take us a long time to figure
out if we're in or out on that one specific question.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
And then we'll play the MVP game.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
And I think the rules are if you go first
picking the Super Bowl MVP, then you go last when
it comes back. It's just sneak draft, is what that's called.
So let's say Marvin, you would have the first pick.
That would mean you would have the last pick coming back.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
I'm taking Do I save it?
Speaker 3 (20:31):
No, you don't have the first pick yet. We have
to pick numbers out of the hat before uh and
is there anything at stake here? What do you get
if you what a thirty pack? A thirty pack of
Miller nine. Yeah, okay, so that means I only have
two thirty packs for Super Bowl Sunday. All right, fair enough,
(20:52):
let's see what we can do. All right, he's South Palantonio,
the ESPN national correspondent, none of that local court responded.
He's a national correspondent covering the NFL for decades. And
we say, all to South Palatonio, the mothership. All right,
here we go, always dressed, sounds, always ready for maybe
(21:16):
a live shot, you know, just in case one breaks
out here, grab a microphone.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
He'll be ready to go.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Let's go out to South Palatonio. Who joins us in
New Orleans? What was it like the first time you
were on TV live?
Speaker 4 (21:30):
You know, it wasn't too bad because I had a
little bit of training as a newspaper reporter. So it
was all about getting those sentences out and getting them
out clean, looking into the camera, making sure that you
know you had the hair in place.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Of course, that more than yes, I know, that's more
important than the information.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
You don't look good. Not gonna matter what you say, Dad.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
But you know when you see people who are in
print and they do TV, yeah, print is different as
far as what you're gathering. You're never worried about what
you look like. But when you do TV, you have
to get your interviews information, and then you got to
all of a sudden comb your hair and go on TV.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Yeah, it's a little more.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Of a collaborative effort than being a newspaper reporter. You're
only as good as those people around you. Have had
great people all the way throughout the people who hired
me at ESPN, people who I work with at ESPN.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
How many years have you been at ESPN.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
It'll be thirty on August first, thirty years.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
How has the Super Bowl coverage changed in those thirty years?
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Well, social media explosion is crazy. I mean opening night,
it was wall to wall, shoulder to shoulder. You couldn't
even move.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Players were packed into groups of reporters and they were
unable to really go more than a half a foot.
It was really intense and wild and crazy.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
I mean, it wasn't wild and crazy in terms of
the questions that were being asked, but there were just
a lot of social media people there, and there are
a lot of social media people here covering.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Every aspect of the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Yesterday at the hotel I walked was walking around and
talking to some of the catering people and the catering.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
People at the Supernoll there's four thousand of them.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
They have a team of like ten social media people
who just handle social media for catering.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
But do we have enough content to satisfy everybody who
covers the NFL, Because sometimes that leads to a story
that maybe isn't as big of his stories as it
is or should be, and it becomes bigger because we
have wishful reporting on some of these things.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
I mean everybody's trying to get as much clicks as
they possibly can for you know, I'm not I have
a very benign social media presence there. I have a
little bit of an Instagram.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I'm not on X. I think I'm the only one
at ESPN not on X and I like it that way.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
If you break, if you have information, are you allowed
to break or does it like you have to defer
to Adam Schefter at all?
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Well, now you're getting personal, Dad, Now you're getting personal.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I'm not up against the break either, Sal we have
plenty of time.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Okay, I was that in the script?
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Sorry you didn't ask for a list of questions.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I didn't ask for.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Short answer, no short answer, no, you know, I call
the news desk still old fashioned.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
You know, the number is still the same number as
when I got there thirty years ago.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
I called the news desk, or you know, I have
my producer called the news desk, and we might put
it out on Instagram, you know, just to satisfy people.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
And it happened to me one time on vacation where
I'm with Tony Dungee's agent, and he said, hey, do
you know Tony's gonna get the job. He's going to
be a head coach at Tampa. And I said, okay,
So I called the assignment desk and they said, well,
we need a second source, so I.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Says the Dinosaur Ace.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Then I said, yeah, you don't need two sources anymore,
and then they so they ended up giving it to
Chris Mortenson.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
And then and I was like, okay, you know, I
don't want to be in the breaking news business.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
And I don't consider myself in the quote unquote breaking
news missus. And I'm not a quote unquote insider. You know,
I joke around all the time when I'm on radio.
When they asked me a question about a contract, I'm like,
you know, that's one eight hundred.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Adam chef, Call Adam and he'll have the inside school.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
So, you know, I think it's important that you know,
we figure out as a team, and we do it
pretty well at ESPN.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
You know where our lane is. My job is to
be embedded with the Eagles.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
This week, So if it moves at the Eagles Hotel,
I'm responsible for it and putting it on television or
on radio. And being embedded with the Eagles is kind
of fun. It's you know, stem to stern, wall to wall.
I live eleven miles from Lincoln Financial Field, had for
twenty five years, so you.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Know, people haven't they expect me to find out what's
going on.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Where were you when the Saquon Barkley As far as
your opinion on Saquon Barkley coming to the Eagles, well,
you know.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I think it's just an incredible story.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Listen, not the time, though, Where was I Yeah, Noil, Like,
at the time, what did you think? You know, it
felt like it's a little pricey. That offens not.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Pricy at all.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
I mean, this was a I think this was the
number one free agent acquisition in the last.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Twenty five years in the National Football.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
League without a debt since Reggie White.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Well, yeah, going back.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
To Reggie White, Reggie White brought a Super Bowl to
Green Bay And is my first story actually covering the
Eagles for the Philadelphia Inquirer was a letter from then
Mayor ed Rendell to the owner of the team, Norman Brayman,
begging him to keep Reggie White in Philadelphia, and Norman
Brayman saying, you know what, let me run my football team,
(27:23):
you run the city of Philadelphia's That was actually my
first story that actually wrote, and so it's come full circle.
But I think it since Reggie White, this is the
number one free agent acquisition by any team, and Barkley
is a different cat.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Dan Barkley is not only on the field but off
the field.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
I was talking to his running backs coach, Jamal Singleton
on opening night and Singleton said, listen, when your best
player is your hardest worker, everybody falls into line.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
And that's Barkley.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
But also just from a contextual standpoint of the culture
in New Jersey, Philadelphia and New York, nobody had honestly,
nobody has traveled.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
More on the Jersey Turnpike than me from.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
Exit four to Exit sixteen W and back in the
last thirty years, I have worn out my easy pass. Okay,
I just put new I just put new tires on
my car for like the fifth time.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
On this particular. I love this car because it doesn't
beat bat me when I don't have my seatbelt done.
Hey hey, hey.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
But you know, and I see what happened in New
York and North Jersey when saw and I hear from
friends all the time because I grew up in New York.
You know, this displacement of that player from the Giants
to the Eagles. And it's only eighty nine miles from
MetLife to Lincoln Financial feel, but the cultural chasm is huge.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
New York is the financial mecca.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Philadelphia is the hard scrabble, working class center of football
in Pennsylvania. And Barkley has fit in really well right away,
and he's become a great leader.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
But when he dropped the pass earlier this season and
the reaction to that.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
You mean against Atlanta on Monday night football. Yeah, yeah,
I think he's made amends.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Oh no, I'm not worried about him.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
I'm the fans were, because we were going to have
him on that next day and he said, I can't.
It'll be a bad look if I come on and
then we saw the fallout from that. Now, all of
a sudden, he's firmly embraced and.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Well, not all of a sudden. That was week watched.
That was opening night for the Eagles, So that was,
you know, week two of the season. You know, it's
seventeen weeks.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Later, Dan, not overnight.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
I mean, he is, without a doubt, one of the
most beloved athletes that I've ever seen in a twelve
month period.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Good because he's a great kid, dude, great kid, and
I've enjoyed a friendship with him. But I I don't
if he didn't ruin the MVP, there's not going to
be a running back winning the MVP.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
So in our lifetime it's not going to happen again.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
And he should be the MVP.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Yes, if you look at what he did, if he
he I think he made the right decision not playing
in the last game. I had no problem with that
because he has to get ready for this. That was
the goal, not hey, I'm going to break a record,
you know, break the all time rushing record for an
entire season, including the postseason win, a Super Bowl win,
a Super Bowl MVP. But We're not going to have
(30:30):
a running back if it's not Saquon. With what he
meant to this team, he changed them, he changed their offense.
We're not going to have another running back MVP.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
No, And I think you're right.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
I think it wasn't It was good for him not
to play in that last game. And when I sat
down with him in August, right before the season started,
right before we went to Brazil, and he said, I
want to rewrite my story. He said, I want to
rewrite my story and I want to wait, I'm going
to rewrite it to win.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
A super Bowl, not go to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
Not win a rushing title, not be the MVP when
and he said that to me on Opening Night, same thing,
that's gonna define who I am.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
And yeah, let a super Bowl do more for Saquon
Barkley or Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
I think Jalen Hurts, you know, absolutely, And I think
Jalen Hurts could easily be the MVP of this game.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Okay, but if you're Kansas City, you want to get
in a shootout here, you want Jalen Hurts to be
throwing the football.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
IM guessing would be their defensive philosophy, and.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
That would be the Eagles offensive philosophy.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
I think in this football game, like they want to
throw the ball, I would say throw it early and
often bombs away for a lot of different reasons. Dan,
a lot of different reasons. First and foremost, you gotta
say to Kansas City, we can throw the ball on you.
We got DeVante Smith and A. J.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Brown one two.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
We're gonna keep Justin Reid and Trent McDuffie occupied and
the rest of that secondary occupied so that you're not
in run support on Saquon Barkley.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
We're gonna loosen you up.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
We're gonna get Steve Spagnolo something to think about before
he brings Justin Reid down on those safety blitzes on
third and fourth down. We're gonna hit the big long
ball and loosen you up. The old adage of you
throw to score and run to win is true in
this game. Remember the Eagles scored thirty five points against
(32:30):
this Chiefs defense two years ago when they were in
the Super Bowl. They can score points this Eagles offense.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
But don't you lead with Saquon to open it up,
to have those defensive backs creep up and then you
go deep.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
You could do either way, but I think it's throw
throw first. You know, he always there. You got established
the running game. You know, we established the running game.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
Throw the football, yeah, And I think if that happens
and Jalen Hurts doesn't turn the ball, I think the
Eagles have a real shot at winning this game. But
you know, I was listening to your conversation. You know
what Mick Jagger said about the Beatles, Are they the
foreheaded monster? And that's what you have here with the Chiefs.
You got a four headed monster. You got Reed, Spagnolo,
(33:14):
Mahomes and Kelsey. And I think if they three p
it will go down as the greatest dynasty of all time,
without a doubt, in the NFL, in the NFL, without
a doubt, move over Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Dallas, San Francisco
and the Patriots, because you're doing it in a different environment, right.
(33:35):
There's never been this much money in the NFL and
this much upheaval and a seventeen game season, and I
think this is an incredible feat. If they do win
this Super Bowl and have a three P, I think
it will go down as the greatest quarterback coach combination
and the greatest dynasty in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Who has more to gain? Andy Reid or Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
Well, I think both of them, Nielsen. I'm a voter,
as you know, as a Hall of Fame voter. They're
both going first ballot Hall of Fame Read and Mahomes,
and I think they're you know, they're tied together.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Is Eli going in first ballot this year? Good question.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
Don't know Eli deserves to be. I pushed for him
to be first ballot. We will find out tomorrow. But
you have a general sense of being in that room.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
I do have a general sense. I think there was
considerable sport for Eli.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
But why don't you break it now before chef de breaks.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
All right?
Speaker 2 (34:32):
I think that's only fair.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Because I don't want to get a call from Canton, Ohio.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Great to see you as always, oh Dan.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
This is great, great thanks, such a pleasure.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Love spending time with you, certainly at the super Bowl
and have fun on Sunday. Thank you At South pal Antonio.

We have a trade. Marvin just said, Chris Middleton going
from the Bucks to the Wizards for Kyle Kuzma.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Come on, that's not nice to Chris. No, it's not.
Chris Middleton's probably going wait, what did I do?
Speaker 3 (35:32):
There's a point in time that moving Chris Middleton would
have been a big deal. Yes, yes, Now we got
to be careful when we say blockbuster deal from now on,
Like Luca, that's a blockbuster deal.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
This is just a deal.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
It's Kyle Kuzma going to Milwaukee and Chris Middleton going
to the Wizards.
Speaker 6 (35:51):
Yes, Paul, would you rather go to the Wizards or
go home? Well, I'm gonna still want to play.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
I'm gonna still so you want to continue play, I'm
gonna say, yeah, I would still go to the Wizards.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
There you paused, Yeah, but it's just you know, the
Wizards won back to back games. Recently. Yeah, they did.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
Were you watching NBA TV will give it a renas, Yes, yeah,
because you were watching this Wizard's team.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
No, No, I did watch this Wizard's team. Once again.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
I don't know why I feel obligated to watch games
that nobody else is watching, because I feel like their
parents and relatives are watching, and maybe nobody else. And
the Wizards they're terrible. But Chris Middleton, the artist formerly
known as Say Goodbye Keeper's Heart, new and unique style
of whiskey that combines the best of Irish and American whiskey,
(36:44):
creating a smooth character of Irish whiskey and the bold
flavors of American whiskey. Is if you're a whiskey fan,
you gotta try it drink responsibly.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
All right? Are we ready to play? In or out?
You're either in or out on the topics here.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Chris Haynes, we think is gonna to join us unless
there's other trades that he's keeping an eye on.
Speaker 6 (37:04):
And Jim Harball will join us next home. All right, Paul,
just to recap, you're either in or out. That's right,
Thank you, Dan, always helpful. The Dallas Mavericks know what
they're doing.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
I'm in.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
I mean, they know what they're doing. It doesn't mean
that they're doing it correctly, but they know what they're doing. Yes, Marvin,
in or out?
Speaker 4 (37:29):
I'm in.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
I like you, Okay, Todd, I mean to Seaton, Yeah,
super in. Wow, it's a shift. I mean they know
this is there. Whatever they're doing, it's there. Although there's
reports that this doesn't didn't come from the GM, it
went it was above the GM who made this, and
it wasn't Mark Cuban.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
I don't know what that means. Here's a new ownership there.
Speaker 6 (37:51):
Here we go, Steph Curry and Lebron James. One of
these two will finish their careers on another team.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
In or out.
Speaker 5 (37:59):
Marvin, I'm out, Todd, I'm in. Seaton I'm out. I'm out,
sadly out. Yeah, I'd like to see one of them.
I'd like to see Lebron moved.
Speaker 7 (38:14):
Maybe trade them for each other, just for you know giggles.
Speaker 6 (38:21):
All right, Andy Reid should not retire as long as
Patrick Mahomes is a chief.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Oh, I'm in and yeahs.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
Yeah, maybe a year or two before, like if Patrick
makes that swing down like I might get out now
and then you know he could he's in a position
where he could sort of cement like, see it was me,
it was actually me that did this, so scenes out ish.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
Yeah, yeah, I'm kind of out. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (38:53):
Next one, the NFL referees are overly criticized in or
out and means you agree at.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
The statement Marvin, I mean Todd. Yeah, man, I'm out.
Speaker 7 (39:09):
I'm in hesitantly in.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (39:12):
This one should be simple. I think the Detroit Lions
should go all in for Miles Carett.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
I'm in.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
In, in, in in in, all in in.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Heck yeah, super in. Yeah, you gotta.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
You don't have many opportunities like this. Take advantage of it.
People want to go, oh, we need our team. We're
built for the long haul.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
Did you win any titles? No, but we were built
for the long haul.
Speaker 6 (39:39):
All right, this is my last one. I want you
to think about this before you're in or out. And
if you're in, you say in. If you're out, you
say out. Okay or at his best, Patrick Mahomes is
better quarterback than Tom Brady was at his best.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Marvin in.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Todd out.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
By the way, today is the anniversary of the Patriots
comeback win over the Atlanta Falcons. No big deal. Yeah,
just no MBD. Yeah, the twenty five point deficit Seaton.
Whichever option is Tom Brad Berrid Brady being better? I'm
in on that one. I don't remember if I'm in
or out on the question. Okay, recap that Tom Brady's better.
Speaker 7 (40:23):
At his best. Mahomes is a better quarterback than Tom
Brady at his best.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
I'm out.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
I'm barely out, like I'm I'm out now until Sunday
night at around eleven o'clock.
Speaker 6 (40:38):
The question is not resume or Super Bowls. It's who
is better at their job at their best, and you
slightly Brady?
Speaker 2 (40:47):
No, that's okay.
Speaker 3 (40:48):
I would say I'm in on Mahomes playing the position
better than Tom right, not the results, because he hasn't
played as long as time.
Speaker 6 (40:56):
I love this question, supposedly because I wrote it, but
more so because it's not just whose better career is.
Speaker 7 (41:03):
We're years away from knowing that, but put people on
the spot right now.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
I would say Mahomes plays the position differently than anybody
who's ever played it and has the end results to
show for it.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
Patrick, Mahomes started about three and a half games and
media was almost like, you know this guy's better than
Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
That isn't true.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
I'm barely exaggerating. How long was it like Tom Brady like, yeah,
but he's good. But is he better than Joe Montana?
Speaker 1 (41:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
Joe Montana never lost a Super Bowl, so he can't
be that. You know, Brady can't be that great. It's crazy.
Mahomes plays the position differently than anyone. Not a better quarterback,
not a better quarterback, he plays the position better. It's semantics.
(41:58):
How about I asked Jim Harball this question, What do
you think he'll say? Update on the NBA trade Duddaine
right after this
