Kings Hawaiian are here and that means Chef Greg and
he's busy outside. So we have three different sliders that
will be available. We have the Shrimp po Boy Slider,
the MVP slider that includes a prime file A. We

of course is a prujute with chicken pasto, mutsarel, arugula,
a tomato fondu and parmesan all of that. On the
Kings Hawaiian, the Original, we have the pretzel slider buns,

Josh Jacobs will stop by as well. Good morning if
you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app,
and we say good morning to our radio affiliates around

(01:54):
the country. Stat of the Day brought to you by
Panini America, the official trading cards of The Dan Patrick Show,
and this first hour brought to you by Keeper's Heart.
New and unique style of whiskey that combines the best
of Irish and American whiskey and you create a smooth
character of Irish whiskey with the bold flavors of American whiskeys.
If you're a whiskey fan, you got to try it.

(02:14):
Drink responsibly, come up with a play of the day,
got a pull question, a few stats of the day
as well. The NFL Honors unveiled last night, and I
sit corrected because I thought Lamar Jackson was going to
win because he had the most votes at quarterback and
usually that will translate into being the MVP. That was

(02:34):
the big surprise for me as I was watching that.
But Josh Allen the first player in twenty one years
to win the MVP without being selected First Team All Pro,
and I think that was the big surprise that he
got twenty seven of the fifty first place votes. Lamar
Jackson had twenty three. That's the smallest difference between first

(02:54):
and second since Peyton Manning and Steve McNair they declared
them co MVPs. They had sixteen first place votes. That
was back in two thousand and three.

Speaker 7 (03:04):
Who stall of a Day, STALLAA Day, Stallata Day, Stantata Day.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
This is the Stanle of the Day stat of.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
The Day brought to you by Panadia America. Josh Allen
MVP the Saquon Bark League Offensive Player of the Year
award was like a we got to give you something.
You rush for two thousand yards and you're in the
super Bowl. If you had the MVP vote Monday, you
voted Monday who would be the MVP of the NFL,

(03:40):
because more than likely it would be Saquon Barkley. Although
if Mahomes would win again even though he didn't have
a great regular season, you go, he's still the most
valuable guy. But Josh Allen gets the MVP Defensive Player
of the Year. Patrick's ertan of the Broncos, Kevin O'Connell
the Vikings Coach of the Year. I'm sitting with people
last night who had big money bet on these awards.

(04:02):
Big money. So when Kevin O'Connell and Dan Campbell are
up for Coach of the Year, Andy Reid, I'm sitting
next to a woman. She goes better better be Kevin
o'h okay, no calling him KOs, better be KOs? I said, like,
what you know him? I got seventy two thousand dollars
on this. I go, oh my god. So Kevin O'Connell wins,

(04:26):
and she goes all right, drinks for everybody. Then all
of a sudden Josh Allen wins MVP, and I think
she lost seventeen thousand on that and it ruined her
parlays because she had Lamar Jackson. I didn't know you
could parlay the awards ceremony, you know, MVP and Rookie
of the Year and Offensive Rookie of the Year Jared

(04:48):
versus the Rams defensive Rookie. Like there was some serious
money being wager or they bet, you know, prior to
the start of the season. And I told the story
of one of the guys who's on our gambling podcast occasionally,
Sammy p. He put down a future's bet on Saquon

(05:08):
Barkley to be the Offensive Player of the Year. He
did that in the preseason. He had the ticket that
he got from Vegas and he dropped it off to
the backroom guys who worked on the gambling podcast, and
he said, if this happens, you guys cash this. He said.
The only thing is is you have to go to
Vegas to cash it, and it's worth about three thousand dollars.
So I was watching hoping that Saquon Barkley would win it.

(05:30):
So Marvin, I don't know if you and Dylan, you know,
picture day, Ray, you guys cashed in last night on
Saquon Barkley.

Speaker 5 (05:38):
We sure did so.

Speaker 8 (05:39):
I think we're gonna go to Vegas and split it,
and I think Ray and Dylan won't have any money
when we come back.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
That's just gonna You're gonna lose money on going to
pick up winnings for a bet. So those were just
some of the awards last night. Jaden Daniels was the
Rookie of the Year, the Assistant Coach of the Year,
Ben Johnson going to the so that that count as
a Bears Award winner.

Speaker 9 (06:04):
There's lots of room in the Bears trophy case. Pop
it in there. No one's going to read the fine print.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
Well you got eighty five and then you don't have
much after that, big gap. Yes, yeah, big trophy case.
Not a lot of trophies in the trophy case.

Speaker 6 (06:16):
Yep, all right.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
See let's pull question for hour one of the program.
Nothing of significance happened yesterday at the trade deadline except
for PJ. Tucker. He got traded three times in five days.
Do you get a jersey with those teams that traded
for you? No, you don't.

Speaker 9 (06:37):
I think to be in the record books in Basketball Reference,
you have to be on the roster for a game
even though you don't play in that game.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
I think so. From February first to February fifth, PJ.
Tucker went from the Clippers to the Jazz Jazz to
the Heat, Heat to the Raptors. That's not fair, Like
at the end result is and you're going to the Raptors. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
His agent is like, hey, look, everybody wants you.

Speaker 10 (07:03):
I'm assuming that if one of them should go on
to win a ring, he doesn't get that ring.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
Correct, correct? Yeah, correct, because he didn't play one game.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
He didn't play one game, right, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
But I don't know. So PJ. Tucker three times in
five days, But that doesn't count as most teams played for?
Is that still like nine teams? Haven't we discussed this before,
like Clarence Weatherspoon or somebody.

Speaker 5 (07:28):
Oh boy, Jim Jackson's up there too.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
Jim Jackson Did he play for nine teams?

Speaker 5 (07:32):
He played for eleven or twelve?

Speaker 3 (07:34):
What about Joe Smith? Joe Smith might still be in
the NBA.

Speaker 5 (07:38):
Oh he's a world traveler too.

Speaker 9 (07:40):
Tony Massenberg had about all, oh yeah, we're deep diving.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Oh loop bloop, all right, Seaton. Pole question today is
going to be what.

Speaker 10 (07:47):
Well, we have a couple of Todd's oddly specific poll
questions which we could get to, which it's always fun.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Speaking of Todd. The conclusion of the match, the pickleball
match that will be aired today, and then we'll hand
out some awards. But Todd was the star the first match.
He looked like a combination of Roth and a Doll
and Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe. It was very impressive,
very and the best athlete on the pickleball court. But

(08:15):
let's see what you do match too. I'm ready, Thank you, Todd.

Speaker 10 (08:20):
We also have a couple of other Pole questions from Paul. Here,
are you rooting for the Chiefs of the Eagles? Kind
of basic, but let's get the the I.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
Don't know baseline?

Speaker 3 (08:29):
Okay?

Speaker 10 (08:29):
And then would you rather win the league MVP and
a Super Bowl MVP but not be a Hall of
Famer or just be a Hall of Famer?

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Okay? So I'm MVP and Super Bowl MVP, correct, but
not but not a Hall of Famer. Well, how many
guys have won both of those MVPs and not been
a Hall of Famer?

Speaker 6 (08:51):
I think nobody.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
No, oh, byy you.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
So you could be the only one who had a
great year and then won a ring but.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
Not that good. Eli didn't get in first ballot. I
guess I was surprised because and this shouldn't factor in,
but he's from New Orleans. Here we are in New Orleans,
and I got that might you know, you put those
two together and maybe he's now. I don't think he's
a first Battle of Hall of Famer. I do think
he gets into the Hall of Fame. Eric Allen got in.

(09:20):
I've been a big proponent of Sterling Sharp. Sterling Sharp
is kind of like the wide receiver version of Terrell
Davis or vice versa. He was a wonderful wide receiver.
So you have Shannon and Sterling going into the Hall
of Fame. Jared Allen, you forget the numbers that Jared
Allen put up. Those are how many sacks did he have?
PAULI deb over one fifty but you know, you know,

(09:44):
not playing in big playoff games, but still that was
a guy. It felt like every single Sunday he brought it.
You had to account for. Jared Allen.

Speaker 9 (09:51):
Yeah, Paul, Yeah, he had one hundred and thirty six sacks.
You get that one twenty number. It's almost automatic, Yes, Marvin.

Speaker 8 (09:56):
And I think one of our guests has a good
history with Oh no, he chased him out of the
end zone.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
Oh no, so he helped Jared all Jared Allen get
a sack on that. Like if it's a safety, you
don't get a sack, do you.

Speaker 9 (10:14):
Maybe if you're the closest person or you have to
touch him, I would think checking.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
I don't know. Well, sometimes if you're in the vicinity,
you get credit. You know when Peyton Manning used to
just fall down or Brady fall down, somebody got the sack.
But maybe you just have to put rest your hands
on them. But yeah, I don't know if Jared Allen
got a sack that. Because Orlovsky went out of the
end zone when he was with the lines, we have
to ask Dan. I'm sure he loves talking about that.

(10:41):
He thought he was done with that, he thought that
that was over. Who went out of the end zone
this year?

Speaker 10 (10:48):
Oh yeah, there was like the exact same play.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
Gosh, who was that?

Speaker 3 (10:54):
We should remember that because we've never forgotten the Dan
Orlovsky ran out of the back of the end zone.

Speaker 4 (10:59):
He just kind of owns that you know?

Speaker 3 (11:01):
Was it a really good quarterback? Who PJ Stroud? He
got oi?

Speaker 6 (11:09):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (11:11):
All right? What other pole questions that we have for
the first job.

Speaker 10 (11:16):
Let's see these are some of the Todd's oddly specific
poll question. Yes, how would you handle someone talking too
much at a Super Bowl party? Ask that individual to
please let you just watch the game? Politely engage in
conversation and just deal.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
With the situation.

Speaker 4 (11:35):
Move to another spot and hope.

Speaker 10 (11:36):
He or she doesn't follow you, find a TV in
a separate room, leave the party altogether.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Would you like to answer your pole question? Todd?

Speaker 11 (11:45):
Knowing me, I would politely engage in conversation and just
deal with the situation and not be rude, holding that
at some point they're going to just stop.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
But what if you're the person who's annoying, which could
very well be the case, and they're trying to move
away from you, they.

Speaker 5 (11:58):
Would probably leave the party altogether.

Speaker 11 (12:00):
There would probably be like seventy three percent if there
was me doing that, victimizing the poor people trying to
watch the game.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
Yes, I've dealt with this before a couple of Super bowls.

Speaker 9 (12:08):
Unbeknownst to me, my wife invited a couple of my
brother in law's clover who don't know football but talk
the whole time very ornately. I do a move when
we come back from firstall break, where I go, all right,
let's get back to the game. Let's focus on the game.
Like and everyone kind of shuts up for a second.
It's like breaking the huddle. It works, It gets people refocused.

Speaker 10 (12:28):
Sounds like a lot of fun by it being clapped
at until the shut up at your house.

Speaker 6 (12:33):
I got.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
Them rolling their eyes behind him.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
What's up with cool?

Speaker 4 (12:38):
Thanks for inviting us over.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
Yeah, I'm not bothered by Marvin. What about you now?

Speaker 8 (12:46):
We don't need to talk. Let's just watch the game.
You know, the commercials, the halftime show.

Speaker 5 (12:50):
We don't need to do all that.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
I'm watching by myself on Super Bowl Sunday. I'm watching
by myself. That's it. It's the best. Don't have to hawk,
no questions, nothing, They don't have to wait in line
for anything.

Speaker 8 (13:04):
Yes, And the thing about Super Bowl parties, there's so
many people there that haven't watched football all year. But
it's just an event. Yeah, and so they're like, so,
who's really good on his team? Gosh, they've been good
all year.

Speaker 5 (13:16):
Yeah, I thought Saquin was on the Giants.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
He's on the.

Speaker 5 (13:18):
Eagles now, Saquen.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
Saquin Barkley. All right. The eight seven, seven to three
DP Show operator Tyler sitting by. He'll take your phone
calls and email address DPA Danpatrick dot com Twitter handle
the DP Show.

Speaker 9 (13:35):
Yes, Paulie, we have a quick Dion Sanders game. Coach
prime Is always comes by the Super Bowl set. We're
gonna play guests. The outfit for Dion Sanders, none of us.
I don't think i've seen him yet.

Speaker 3 (13:45):
He did shave, Oh, I was. He was on the
Award Show last night. He was up there with Belichick
and they were you know, it was like a buddy movie,
like any one you have Midnight Run too. Yes, now
it would be in Prime, I'm run it would be
instead of Midnight Run. But yeah, it felt like Belichick
and Dion were a buddy movie up there. You know,

(14:06):
they're just ad libbing, just you know, gassing it up
a little bit. Hey, how are you hey? And then
you had Snoop Dogg who called out Belichick's girlfriend. So yeah,
and he brought all of his rings and then she
got one of the rings as well, so what's the
d on so what he's wearing today?

Speaker 6 (14:25):
Yeah, I'll go first.

Speaker 9 (14:26):
I'm gonna go white on white on white, Colorado flair
all through it.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
But it's a little warm today.

Speaker 9 (14:32):
White had to toe with some Colorado pop.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
All right, Marvin, what about you? You got your Dion
T shirt on.

Speaker 8 (14:39):
I think he's wearing retro don Nikes, and I think
he's wearing just casual Colorado jumpsuit.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Okay, Todd, what about you?

Speaker 11 (14:49):
Colorado Buffalo's cap of some sort, maybe with Coach Prime
on the side and one of those I ain't hard
to find sweatshirts. Might be white, could be great, could
be black, but I know he likes to wear that.

Speaker 5 (14:58):
I ain't hard to find.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
What about you, Seaton.

Speaker 10 (15:03):
Man, My first instinct was to say, sort of like
a black on black tracksuit. Yeah, well, I guess I'll
stick with that.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Yeah, I don't know. It feels like white on white
on white.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
It's a pretty good guess.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
Yeah. Yeah, maybe with a little uh Colorado gold piping
somewhere in there. Uh necklace? Watch what a crucifix?

Speaker 10 (15:30):
Okay, that's kind of his daily wear though, too. Like
the tracksuit that we're all talking about Yeah, he there's
a big week. You know, you get a lot of
eyeballs on a week like this. There might be something
with a little more flare too, though not saying a suit,
but something that really stands out.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
What doesn't Colorado have New Orleans Saints kind of flare
to it?

Speaker 8 (15:52):
Yeah, they do better uniforms though, Yes, Colorado or the
Saints Coloradoo were those Saints white uniforms with the gold
the retro.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yes, those are really sharp, amazing, those are really shark
All right, we'll take a break. Deon, we'll join us.
Coming up next, we'll get to phone calls, settle on
our poll question. Just getting started on this meet Friday

Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. All
of our in studio guests receive a fantastic gift bag
with items from Sonos trigger Panini King Zawaian and Rapid Radios.
He joins us every Super Bowl. He's the Hall of
Famer two times Super Bowl champ, head coach of the

(17:44):
Buffalo's Dion Sanders back here in the man k and
we all made the mistake of what he was going
to be wearing. We went jeans on jeans. There suit
it look good thought, but but no, no track suit?

Speaker 6 (18:03):
No?

Speaker 3 (18:03):
All right, you gotta you gotta whistle there.

Speaker 6 (18:07):
I'm a coach, so I got a whistle.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
So are you gonna use the whistle during this, uh interview?

Speaker 6 (18:14):
Well, it blows, but I don't plan on blow anything.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
Okay, fair enough? How many pairs of shoes do you want?

Speaker 12 (18:19):
I haven't taken inventory in quite some time, but it's
it's a lot like Jordan's or I'm not a Jordan guy.

Speaker 6 (18:27):
I'm a prime guy. You're not got my own shoes?

Speaker 3 (18:30):
Did you ever own? Did you ever own? Jordan's?

Speaker 12 (18:33):
Maybe a para sol, but I love Mike makes my guy.
It's kind of different when you.

Speaker 6 (18:40):
Know Jordan, you know, like you know, it's a little different.
I like, I like what I like.

Speaker 12 (18:45):
I'm not a big sneaker everyday guy, but when I
do wear tennis shoes mostly were my own.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
What do you take away from Jordan's like everything.

Speaker 12 (18:56):
He's the greatest, He's the goat, He's a character, class.

Speaker 6 (19:01):
Work, ethic.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
Nothing Lebron could do.

Speaker 12 (19:04):
I'm not gonna put another brother down, but lit than another.
I'm not doing that. We don't do that now. Both
of those guys are Black excellence to me. Both of
those guys are on different mountains, and they've reached their
pinnacles differently, but certainly they they have reached it. We
could compare everybody to them, but not them against one another.

Speaker 6 (19:25):
I'm not doing that.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
If I had you in your prime against Travis Hunter now.

Speaker 12 (19:30):
Right, Travis bad boy, I'm not putting Travis down.

Speaker 6 (19:34):
Travis bad Boy. There's like another sign to me.

Speaker 12 (19:37):
Travis is a generational type of young man that we
may never ever see again. The reason we may never
ever see him again because coaches won't allow it, because
they can't fathom what they can't do themselves. I did
it at an extreme level, so I was able to

(19:59):
guide him and lead him and allow him to do
it without the risk of jealousy, of envy, or hatred
from his teammates. Travis is unbelievable. Travis is the best
player in.

Speaker 6 (20:13):
This draft by far.

Speaker 3 (20:15):
Match your challenge his talents.

Speaker 12 (20:17):
I don't match man' I'm that old coach in the
corner of the ring, that boxing coach saying left right, left, right,
You got it.

Speaker 6 (20:25):
That's it. I'm not matching nothing.

Speaker 12 (20:27):
I'm trying to help him exceed anything I would ever fathohim,
not only on the field, but off the field as well.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
How would you use him if you're an NFL cause.

Speaker 6 (20:37):
I've already showed him how to use him. Why would
they defer?

Speaker 3 (20:41):
I don't you know. We've talked to people who've played,
you know, either defensive back or wide receiver, saying you
have to go to these meetings. Come on, man, I'm
just going by what they tell me.

Speaker 12 (20:52):
When is the last time you heard a football player say, boy,
that meeting really helped me.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
No, but you have they require you to be at
certain places.

Speaker 6 (20:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (20:59):
I was there for fourteen years. I know the drills.
Travis has never been mistaken for an idiot on the
football field. He's very intelligent, very intelligent on the field,
at and off the field. Had a four point oh GPA.
Let's get that straight. So he's a smart young man.
He will be prepared for whatever you place in front

(21:21):
of him. Generational loves the game, don't party, don't smoke,
don't drink. Kind of secludes himself, kind of an introvert
is if you should say, but he can play some
during football.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
But full time dB, full time wide receiver.

Speaker 12 (21:40):
Why not you play an NFL game. It's much slower
than the college game. The college game is no huddle,
is tempo. We plays that the players are the players
that the plays. The pro game is so durned slow.
You go into the huddle, you take your time, you
call another play. Not only that, you can't touch him,
you can't hit him in the secondary. So the risk
of being injured is not as such as the college

(22:01):
football game.

Speaker 6 (22:01):
The pro games protects you even more.

Speaker 12 (22:04):
I think what he does should transnd to the next level.
He's already shown them what he could. He's capable of doing.
The reason they're saying he can't do both because they
never fad them.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
To do both.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
He's deon Sanders. Why does the media want you to
coach in the NFL.

Speaker 6 (22:19):
I'm not gonna say the media.

Speaker 12 (22:21):
The media is uh. Some people are very kind. Some
people do clickbait. So when you mention my name, that's
gonna warrant an opinion. You're not gonna mention my name
and not have an opinion. If you say anything and
mention me, you're gonna have an opinion. I'm not the
kind of guy that's idle that you have nothing to say.

(22:43):
When I walked in, you had an opinion. So that's
just the thought that we provoke. So it's not the media.
I just think when you look at me, you're based
with an opinion.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
Yeah, but I think the media it allows them. You know,
when you talk to your Jones, there was wishful reporting.
I think that was attached.

Speaker 12 (23:04):
Jerry is a magnetic man. Just us sitting down hugging
each other. He said right behind me the honors last night,
and his beautiful wife. But just he's magnetic. If we talking,
hug is going to be a story. Whatever Jerry does
is going to be a story. Jerry is the only
owner in the NFL that consistently makes you feel as

(23:26):
dough his team has a chance to win a Super
Bowl every year and you have an opinion about it.

Speaker 6 (23:31):
What other owner has.

Speaker 12 (23:32):
That that authenticity and that that that attraction nobody.

Speaker 6 (23:40):
Jerry's one of a kind man and I love him.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
If he had asked you to interview with the job.

Speaker 12 (23:45):
I wouldn't have to interview. My interview is being played.
Why would I have to interview? Like I can you
coach you?

Speaker 5 (23:52):
You can't.

Speaker 12 (23:53):
You could watch that. You can see that I'm pretty
durn good at what I do. I don't have to interview.
You just have to come and this is my staff.
This would be my staff. Who do you want me
to hold over? Okay, here we go. What we're gonna do?
And but I'm more I'm more involved. I'm not gonna
just let you build it for me. I need to
build it. We need to build it together so so
that I could make it certain I had a hand

(24:15):
in our success, certainly not our failure.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
Did you want to be ansesked to coach the Cowboys?

Speaker 12 (24:23):
I love the college football game. I'm built for the
college football game at this point in my life. And
I'm not doing nothing at that next level with doubt.
My sons, everybody know that. Why would I do that?
Why would I go coach against my son? Who wants
to do that? Who who signs up for that?

Speaker 2 (24:40):
Hey?

Speaker 6 (24:40):
I want to go coach against my son. What idiot
does that? No, if that was gonna happen, that would
be one of the continguencies.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
So if you could coach, okay, So that's the only way.
If you can.

Speaker 6 (24:53):
So I've it's always what I've always said. Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
How do you prepare for the draft with your So?

Speaker 12 (25:02):
I prepare him. I prepare them for the draft, he
and Shallow. I prepare them with the thought process, the
language understanding, the room understanding, this is what this team has,
this is what the questions that you may want to warrant.
But I prepare them as men for the moment, because

(25:22):
we're gonna get that moment. The reason you sit up
here is because you've been maximizing your moments for how
many years now forty forty years. That's why you're hear
because of the moment. So, and these guys are all
assisting you because they understand how to handle their moments.
So I prepare my kids for the moment. So when
you ask them a question that you're not gonna catch
them off guard. You're not gonna catch them in a

(25:44):
vicarious situation because I prepared them for that moment. And
I think that's the job.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
Of a father as a father. Are their teams you'd
prefer he didn't play for?

Speaker 6 (25:54):
There's a lot of teams I prefer any It's just
like I said, aren't their team that you don't want
to watch.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
That?

Speaker 6 (26:03):
You hit the room money? You just hit the clicker
like that, you nern skippy. You're right. It's teams I
didn't want to play for, So why wouldn't I want
my kids?

Speaker 3 (26:13):
No?

Speaker 12 (26:13):
Come on, man, I'm a dad, I'm a real dad
that has a lot of information about the NFL.

Speaker 6 (26:19):
I know some folks who know some folks who know
some folks.

Speaker 12 (26:22):
In the NFL, and I know what's behind the curtain.
So definitely I'm going to lead them in the right direction.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
But how do you how do you navigate that?

Speaker 12 (26:31):
I would meet with them behind the door, closed doors.
I would not call them out. I would not put
them on front street and talk about their organization because
people work too hard to make it right. Instead of
a guy like me ignorantly saying something wrong, I would
meet with them privately and talk about my concerns so
we could have an understanding.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
Has that happened already?

Speaker 6 (26:51):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (26:52):
How many teams?

Speaker 6 (26:54):
Few? I just want to know. I just want to
know why.

Speaker 12 (26:58):
If you don't get your wives answer, you're gonna always
be curious in life. I like to get my wives
answered because this is this is my guy. I mean,
these are my kids. This ain't just a homie a friend.
These are my kids.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
Who does Shador remind you of his dad?

Speaker 6 (27:16):
He reminds me of me in a lot of ways.
He he he.

Speaker 12 (27:22):
He's the son that has always been there. Like what
I mean by that is like Bucky, my oldest son.
He lived with his mother, his mother for a period
of time. I was always fathering him, but he didn't
stay in the house for a period of time because
of separation and divorce. But I want custody of my
second set of kids, my second three. But Shador never

(27:42):
ventured out, he he. He didn't get mad and get
upset and run to mommy and and whatever that would
would be. Shador has always consistently been there.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
But just he's been with you you mean, yeah, okay, Yeah,
that's what I mean by there. He's I admired his toughness.
Yeah uh. He hung in the pocket. But he's not
elusive like you. He We don't want their speed.

Speaker 12 (28:10):
Yeah, but if he was, he was running the ball profusely.
You criticized that he's a drop back past it, he's
a pre pure pocket part.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
I wouldn't criticize it because we look at Lamar Jackson.

Speaker 12 (28:21):
It was only it's only Lamar won Lamar and Lamar
didn't win an MVP award that he should have won
last night. So there's always going to be criticism when
your gift is exemplified tremendously.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
But Josh Allen runs.

Speaker 12 (28:35):
Yeah, but you don't criticize him for running. You've never
criticized him for running. You've criticized Lamar for running. That's
a great analogy. I'm glad you said that.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
No, I've criticized Josh Allen because he didn't take care
of the football. No, A lot of people have. Yes,
I mean I can only speak for me. You're speaking
in generalities. I Lamar Jackson I thought was gonna win
the m v P, Thank you. I thought he was
going to win the idea too. Josh Allen is taking
care of the football this year better, and I thought
that was the lamarck.

Speaker 12 (29:05):
No, Okay, both guys are tremendous. We can't put Josh
down and lift Lamorrow up. But that MVP trophy I
thought was Lamar.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
I would have given it to Saquon Barklay.

Speaker 12 (29:19):
No, yeah, Lamar, Well, because he's here, would you have
given it to him if he wasn't here?

Speaker 3 (29:24):
He ran for two thousand yards, he changed their offense.

Speaker 6 (29:27):
Yeah, but that has been done before. Yeah, multitude of times.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
We're never going to have an MVP be a running back.

Speaker 6 (29:33):
But Lamar, what he did.

Speaker 12 (29:36):
I forget his statistics, but his turnover was when he
had three interceptions or something four interceptions and in what
eighteen nineteen games?

Speaker 3 (29:44):
Yeah, that's crazy, that's absurd.

Speaker 12 (29:48):
Like what he's doing is what everybody said he couldn't do,
and he did it to another level and it still
wasn't glorified.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
What if we had the MVP headed out of at
the end of the year.

Speaker 12 (30:01):
That's what it should be handed out. That's when all
award should be handed out, when the body.

Speaker 6 (30:06):
Of work is done.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
So then it's either Mahomes or Saquon Barkley who probably
would win them.

Speaker 12 (30:10):
People Now that's because they have the lasting impression. That
doesn't mean that they're the MVP.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
But that isn't value winning championships.

Speaker 12 (30:17):
Yes, but it's not singilely value. It's that don't make
you better because your team is there, you have a
better team. It's some guys that could flat out play,
but if you put them on a different team, they're wonderful.
Example cam Ward. Cam Ward and sh your door are
best of friends.

Speaker 6 (30:34):
Cam Ward.

Speaker 12 (30:35):
Last year he probably would have been on a third
fourth round draft pick. He goes to Miami. Now he's
arguably the first pick.

Speaker 6 (30:41):
What happened? What changed?

Speaker 12 (30:43):
Was the scouts wrong or did he go to a
better team and get in a better situation or was
the scouts wrong?

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Probably both, So let's say they're wrong.

Speaker 12 (30:54):
They misdiagnosed him, they misrepresented him, they treated him unfairly.
And I love where he is right now. I flat
I love it because it make him all look like
a fool because last year, you can't tell me this
wasn't the same guy. That's the same camp that I knew,
that's the same camp as doing this thing. He just
has a different uniform on.

Speaker 6 (31:13):
And I love it.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
If you could change one thing about college football right now.

Speaker 12 (31:19):
It has to be more structure in regards to what
was supposed to what was supposedly inil it's not in IL,
it's collective, it's pay per view. So if I could
change something, that would have to be structuring guidelines for
these kids. It would be a mimic of the NFL

(31:40):
when rookies come in. This is what you could get.
This is the maximum. It would be like that for
high school kids. Then the college kids that have already
proven themselves would be more would have more value.

Speaker 6 (31:53):
We got to have some type of structure.

Speaker 12 (31:55):
If not, you're going to see the same teams that's
exhausted themselves financially, and the collectives go to the playoffs.
Every year you may see two surprises like Arizona State
who played phenomenal, and a couple of other teams, but
mostly was it Boise State. It played phenomenally, but you know,
you get knocked out. So if it's not even if

(32:18):
I can't give you what the other team can give
you a pay you, it's not evening.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
Yeah, I don't know if we get to the pro
model eventually, where maybe we take the top fifty schools
and then we kind of divide them into regions and
then that's.

Speaker 6 (32:32):
Gonna happen eventually.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
Yeah, you think it's.

Speaker 12 (32:33):
Going and in most schools is probably gonna break away
from football, is probably gonna break away from the other sports.
It's probably gonna be football. Then the other sports have
their own ad and it's probably gonna roll like that.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
Uh, you're here. It's almonds and I love it. Yeah.

Speaker 12 (32:49):
I don't just endorse the product to endorse the product.
I endorse the product because I believe in it, like
you know, being healthy, being fit. You know, I don't
have a belt loop, you see, my parents don't have
bet loot, so I gotta stay lean and mean. So
almonds keeps me right there. Weight wise, My skin is
pretty Look at that close up coming close up on me,
this skin?

Speaker 6 (33:08):
Which skin is looking good?

Speaker 3 (33:09):
What's your playing weight?

Speaker 12 (33:11):
And you are now I probably was anywhere from one
eighty five to two eight.

Speaker 6 (33:17):
I'm right now. I'm probably two o fo lex lightly
bo Back to my almonds.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
Right here we go.

Speaker 6 (33:27):
I love uh California almonds. I love everything about it.

Speaker 12 (33:32):
They're a healthy snack because I'm a I'm a fit guy,
so I'm a health conscious type of guy. And when
I'm starving and when I'm hungry or something, just to
have something instead of stopping at a fast food place,
or whatever to grab something. I'm able to pop my almas.

Speaker 3 (33:46):
In almonds dot com. Which team will be serving your
son almonds in the.

Speaker 6 (33:52):
That's good, that's good.

Speaker 12 (33:53):
I don't I don't, I don't know. I think he's
gonna go. I don't think. I know he's gonna go
anywhere from from one to three. I think at the
latest and uh last year, leading up to last season,
I said that he and Travis probably gonna be one
and two or something like that. But it's probably gonna
be two and three or one and two, one and three.
It's gonna be one of the other. But I'm excited.

(34:16):
He's the only quarterback that has had I think seven coordinators.
He's the only quarterback that has uh played every game,
started every game in high school as well as college
except one. He's the only quarterback that you han't bragging
boast of a running game on an offensive line that

(34:37):
has tremendously protected him. He had to do what he
had to do. He's the only quarterback that stands and
delivers each and don't fault anyone that. I love what
this kid is about. He's training right now, he's on
the field right now, working out.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
It's almonds dot Com. Own your prime, it's right to
learn more.

Speaker 6 (34:57):
It's right. We're in our prime. We got to own
your prime. And you got to be healthy.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
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.

Speaker 3 (36:42):
WAPP Final Hour on the final day. How did it
happen so quickly? Here? Amazing? I want to thank all
of the great folks people at the Exchange Pickleball Place here,
the Pickleball Place in New Orleans for hosting us, all
the great people who made this possible the entire week here. Also,

(37:03):
King Sawaiian has some food. They fired up the trigger grills.
They have the Shrimp Po Boy Sliders, the MVP Slider,
the Mulfi Coast Slider, we'll have those on display coming
up in about forty minutes from now eight seven to
seven three. DP show email address DP at Danpatrick dot com,
Twitter handle at dp show. We'll get to more phone

(37:23):
calls Seaton poll question for the final hour of the
program as well. Well, let's see.

Speaker 10 (37:29):
Let me update you real quick on the percentage of
people that are rooting for the Eagles, because that is
going significantly in one direction. It's actually getting closer to
even oh, rebounding a little bit. It's now a fifty
four percent Eagles. Okay, that's pretty interesting.

Speaker 3 (37:44):
The NFL Honors last night, Josh Allen MVP, which is surprising.
I gave you a stat earlier in the show. I'll
bring it back. He got the MVP. He's the first
player in twenty one years to win the MVP without
being selected First Team All Pro had twenty seven of
the fifty first place votes. Lamar Jackson had twenty three

(38:05):
first place votes, and that's the smallest difference between first
and second since Peyton Manning and Steve McNair declared co
MVPs with sixteen first place votes each back in two
thousand and three. Also, Kevin O'Connell Coach of the Year,
and that's the second fourteen win season in the last
three years. This second Vikings coach to win the award.

(38:26):
The other coach, of course, the great Bud Grant, that
was back in nineteen sixty nine. Some NBA stuff. Last night,
Lebron had forty two and seventeen. I think he's the
oldest to get forty and the youngest to get forty
in NBA history. You're going to have all the records,
what it's all said and done, but at age forty,

(38:46):
the oldest player to have a thirty to fifteen game
as well. Now five games with thirty or more points
since turning forty. That ties in with Michael Jordan as well.
Anthony Edwards went for forty nine on the Bulls last night,
and the Joker went for twenty eight, twelve and ten.
So he has twenty four triple doubles. That's the most
by any player prior to the All Star Break. That

(39:09):
was Russell Westbrook back in twenty eighteen. Didn't he win
the MVP that year?

Speaker 5 (39:14):
He did as a six seed.

Speaker 3 (39:17):
As a sixth seed, yep, oh.

Speaker 5 (39:19):
They weren't very good, but you got a triple double.
So they gave it to him.

Speaker 3 (39:22):
Oh, I know that. It made it easy for the voters.
They go, he averaged a triple double. Now it feels
like everybody is sort of you know, got the chance.
How many triple doubles did ninety one players? I've had
triple doubles so far?

Speaker 5 (39:34):
Yeah? I think Melachai Flynn got one too.

Speaker 3 (39:36):
Yeah, yes, balling.

Speaker 9 (39:37):
What if we make it tougher and now it's going
to be a triple dozen triple dozen?

Speaker 3 (39:41):
Yeah, Now it's a more of an accomplishment, just a
touch more.

Speaker 6 (39:45):
But I bet that was.

Speaker 3 (39:45):
You have to have at least twelve assists in twelve rebounds,
or you have to twelve twelve or more trip does
Marv Okay? All right, we'll get phone calls coming up.
Let's bring in Josh Jacobs, the Green Bay Packers running back.
I'm looking at what he did this past season. Thirteen
hundred yards, fifteen touchdowns, First team All Pro, He's a

(40:06):
three time Pro bowler, NFL rushing yards leader. In twenty
twenty two, he was All rookie, won a national championship
at Alabama. Uh so there's a lot of stuff there. Wow,
that's a damn good You look ready to go, pawn
Ol John all right, all right, all right, John looks
like he's ready to go. He's got his He brought
his shoulder pads here as well. You are ready for

(40:28):
the game. Those are the X Tech shoulder pads. So
you'll talk about the technology there. This is the thirteenth
year that number one shoulder pads in the NFL and
Division one football.

Speaker 13 (40:39):
So and you use those, yeah, I use those Man
X Tech since I came in probably my junior year,
of colleagues.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
Reached out to me, man, let me try it out.

Speaker 13 (40:49):
I went over, flew over to the headquarters, got to
see you know what they all, what they all was about.
And then I mean, I think ninety percent of the
guys in the NFL right now where audi leak college
guys wear them.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
I mean, if you just look last year in the.

Speaker 13 (41:03):
League, guys that you brought up, Josh Allen Pass certain
my favorite linebacker, Fred Warner, all of these guys, word
is for me a light You know, you don't feel anything,
and I haven't had any injuries from the shoulder or
anything since I've since warned them.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
So I'm gonna warm them my whole career.

Speaker 3 (41:22):
So you can be friends with the linebacker Fred Warner.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
Bro I a lot.

Speaker 13 (41:26):
He's it's more of a respect thing. He's he's the best.
He's the best I've ever been against.

Speaker 3 (41:31):
So what makes him so great?

Speaker 2 (41:33):
His instincts?

Speaker 13 (41:34):
I would say, how fast he is and how physical
he is, and he doesn't take a playoff like he's
one of them guys that he's the leader of that
defense for sure.

Speaker 3 (41:43):
Okay, but who's the other guy? Like when you get
to the line of scrimmage, you know you're getting the ball. Yeah,
let's say Jalen Carter's there. Yeah, Or let's say, now,
I don't know who else? You would go, where is he?
How many players do you go? Where is that guy?

Speaker 13 (41:59):
I would say most of the time, I never look
at the defensive line never.

Speaker 3 (42:02):
You don't care.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
When I'm running the.

Speaker 13 (42:04):
Ball, I manipulate them. I don't really, I don't really
too much look at them. So I look at the
linebackers and safeties, and it's only a few safeties to
me that actually want that type of type of smoke.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
Uh So, I mean, I like like, I like Buddha Baker.
He's one of them. He'll hit you wherever he's around
the ball every play. He's one of them guys.

Speaker 13 (42:23):
He's gonna come down, he's trigger fast, he's gonna make
a play. Brian Branch is low key the same way too.
So those guys got my respect. A lot of people
just okay.

Speaker 3 (42:32):
So those defense their defensive backs where you go, don't
even don't.

Speaker 13 (42:35):
Even yeah nah, Now you can look at their eyes
like that, nah.

Speaker 3 (42:40):
But you don't do like Dereck Henry. Dereck Henry is
like get out of here and like, you know, knox
him to the sidelines there.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
Yeah, see, I try him.

Speaker 13 (42:46):
I always try to run him over early because I
always notice either two things that happen. Either they gonna
sit and catch the next time, or they gonna shoot low.
So I kind of just like, yeah, we's at the tone.
What do you mean shoot and catch like they're sitting
care It's like they literally stop their feet and wait
for it and secure the tackle, or they'll literally just
dive into legs. So like it's either or so like basically,

(43:08):
you run them over early, you can set up the
juke or you set up your other moves later.

Speaker 3 (43:12):
But what do you think of that dB goes for
your legs?

Speaker 2 (43:15):
I think I think they's sow, but I understand.

Speaker 3 (43:19):
Give me, give me the defensive back though that's soft.
That did that too, almost all of them. Uh you
got the tattoos anything of significance there?

Speaker 2 (43:33):
Yeah, so this one right here so fun.

Speaker 13 (43:36):
Fact, everything on the left side of my body is
basically the tattoos. I feel like it's more of an importance.
All of my tattoos have meanings, but it's more of
an important importance because they say the left veins run
to your heart first. So like I got like my
family members, like my kids, my grandma, stuff like that on.

Speaker 5 (43:54):
The left side.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
No goofy tattoos nah. And don't get a woman's name
tattoo nah nah No. Yeah, you're comfortable wearing that bracelet
out there. There's a lot going on there.

Speaker 2 (44:08):
Yeah, I mean I spent I spend a lot of
time out here.

Speaker 13 (44:11):
I'm used to, Like I can get around this city
without GPS and all of that. Like my roommate in
college was ARV Smith tight End. He's from New Orleans.
So like every holiday or break or anything I had,
I always came out here because going home to Oklahoma
was too.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
Far so like and boring and boring.

Speaker 13 (44:28):
Uh So like we always used to come out here
and then like right when the like spring got over
with or the season was over, where we got down
with training. It was always like Marty Grass season. So
we used to always kind of like the half of
the whole team used to always come back and come here.

Speaker 3 (44:43):
So you imagine if you'd gone down my shoe instead
of Alabama. Nah, I don't like them colors, but you
would have fun.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
It would have fun.

Speaker 3 (44:52):
Sure, How did how did the coach Saban close you? Man?

Speaker 13 (44:58):
Crazy thing is so I didn't I didn't have any
stars coming out from high school, and so like it's
funny because Saban actually just told the story probably like
two weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (45:06):
I've never I've never told the story. But I didn't
have any stars.

Speaker 13 (45:10):
So one day I'm at basketball practice and Burton Burns,
he's actually from Louisiana.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
He comes out and he watches me who and he
was like, man, like I'm.

Speaker 13 (45:22):
Not even He told me said, man, I'm not even
supposed to be here. Like he said, I some people
told me about you at another school, another school I
was visiting.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
I decided to make a stop.

Speaker 13 (45:30):
He was like, I was gonna be here for like
five minutes, end up staying for like two hours, had
a conversation. And then when I took my visit and
I sat down with Saving, I think the thing that
sold me the most was we never talked about football.
The only thing he talked to me about was how
he could make me a better person and how he
can grow me as a man and set me up
for positions to have to be secure when I'm done

(45:53):
playing a game.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
And that's the thing that sold me the most.

Speaker 3 (45:58):
And you, of course validated the these nuts he gave
us the first report years ago, like whenever we bring
anybody from Alabama. I had Bryce Young on ago these
nuts and he started giggling, and I said, uh, coach Saban,
you know he he did authenticated. I did ask coach Saban,
you say these nuts? He goes yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 13 (46:20):
I'd say, yeah, man, people don't give him a love
credit for how funny he really is.

Speaker 3 (46:27):
Well, we're seeing him on TV now and that personality
is coming out of fact. But Bryce said, if he
said these nuts, that was a good thing. Yeah, like
he was in a good mood.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
Yeah, definitely. I would say I would say if he joked.

Speaker 13 (46:38):
Around with you, then one he liked you and then
so he was definitely in a good mood that day.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
What was it like when he was not in a
good mood.

Speaker 2 (46:46):
I think I was only on his bad side maybe
one time.

Speaker 13 (46:49):
Like I was one of them people like I never
missed workouts, I like never missed class, Like I kind
of like did everything in the right way. I remember
one game we had bumped heads a little bit.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
It was actually my junior year. It was against Ole miss.

Speaker 13 (47:05):
I had got like a toning penalty after I scored,
so you know, he he laid into me and I
was like, okay, so you know you got to eat that.
And then he came back and laid into me again,
like probably like a driver or two later, and like
I got up and we kind of like went back
and forth. And then after that me and him became
like best friends.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
So it's crazy.

Speaker 13 (47:24):
I think one thing about saving he he's so used
to people walking on eggshells around him that anybody that
has the I guess the gusts to stand up to him,
he kind of like respects it in a different level.

Speaker 3 (47:36):
He's Josh Jacobs. He's the Green Bay Packers running back
and joining us on behalf of x Tech shoulder pads,
the latest in technology thirteen years the number one pad
Pro and Division one. How would you sum up Saquon
Barkley's season.

Speaker 13 (47:51):
Man, I mean he had an electric season. You know
obviously you know they have a really good team over there.
He has probably the greatest office of line. And then
you know in football this year.

Speaker 3 (48:01):
What you do different, what you do better than you
I say that.

Speaker 13 (48:06):
His top end speed for sure, top end speed ev
sliding and he just does like you could tell, he
just looks like he's having fun, like he's just creating.
Like when you're in that zone, it's like, I feel
like you just create.

Speaker 2 (48:18):
And it looks like he's in that.

Speaker 6 (48:19):
Zone a lot.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
What's that feeling like when you're in the zone for me?

Speaker 2 (48:23):
For me, everything slows down.

Speaker 13 (48:25):
It almost kind of feels like you moving in slow
motion and everything like I can the only thing I
can here is myself brief like literally, it's weird like
but and it feels like every play like you about
to score, every play you touched.

Speaker 3 (48:38):
The ball, You're welcome to the NFL. Moment was what.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
Welcome to the NFL?

Speaker 13 (48:44):
Probably my rookie year, we played the Vikings at the
bank and that was the year that they had like
I think everybody on their defense played together for like
three or four years, and I remember like my first, second,
and third option was all gone. I'm like, where do
you want me to go? That was the first time

(49:04):
I ever felt like, bro, I cannot do anything.

Speaker 3 (49:08):
You got to help me.

Speaker 2 (49:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (49:11):
Yeah, that was good. And so they roughed you up.

Speaker 2 (49:13):
Yeah, they definitely roughed me up.

Speaker 13 (49:15):
I was like, Okay, I understood it now, like the
thought process, the you know, the mentality.

Speaker 2 (49:20):
That it took in all of those things. I was like, yeah,
they legit.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
But did they welcome you to the end, Like did
they say stuff to you? Like the opposition?

Speaker 2 (49:28):
See, people always try to be my friend in the game.

Speaker 13 (49:32):
It's not too many people that just come up and
like we go back and forth because I tell people.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
Like, man, please do not turn me up.

Speaker 13 (49:39):
Please please do not turn you up, because I was
really you know, I'm going about my business, but like,
don't bring it, don't.

Speaker 3 (49:45):
Bring it out, okay, but what would make you mad
where you do turn it up?

Speaker 13 (49:50):
Like I remember it like last year, right, So I
had got like an eight yard game and a dude
made a tackle. When he starts celebrating, I'm like, that's
a loss for you. Like what are we talking about?
Like that's a loss? So like stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (50:04):
Like I said, people don't get too crazy crazy with
me for real.

Speaker 3 (50:08):
Yeah, I guess like like you know, but it's just
like some of these other running back Derrick Henry, I'm
not gonna make it mad.

Speaker 5 (50:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
Plus he's he's his biggest defensive lineman.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
Yeah he's I tell people all the time.

Speaker 13 (50:20):
Uh, he's a running back in the defensive ends body
for sure.

Speaker 3 (50:24):
But he's a Hall of Famer right now.

Speaker 2 (50:25):
Oh yeah, most definitely.

Speaker 3 (50:26):
Yeah. Did you want to play another position when you
were growing up?

Speaker 13 (50:30):
So, I coming out of high school, I had offers
from like TCU for dB. So like I play, I
played defense. I was also one eighty at the time.
Uh so, like I was moving a lot, a lot better,
But I couldn't see myself playing defense.

Speaker 3 (50:46):
I always want to hit a guy.

Speaker 13 (50:47):
I always wanted to be the guy that like make
the plays and you know, set the tone and things
like that.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
So don't you want to.

Speaker 3 (50:54):
Be that guy like Honey Badger or somebody and just
hit somebody?

Speaker 13 (50:58):
It just seems so boring, you know, Like that's the
thing like defense, Like if I'm playing corner, I really
don't like you know, you only make a play when
the ball come your way, Like, but I feel like
you can create more. You have more creativity, you know
when you touching the ball and you getting it a lot.

Speaker 3 (51:15):
Do you care who wins Sunday?

Speaker 8 (51:17):
Nah?

Speaker 2 (51:17):
Not really.

Speaker 3 (51:18):
Are you gonna watch the game?

Speaker 2 (51:19):
Nah, I'm not gonna watch the game. Nah. I couldn't
tell you.

Speaker 13 (51:22):
The last Super Bowl I watched, last Super Ball I
watched was probably like middle school, honestly, Yeah, so I
couldn't I couldn't tell you. But obviously I got a
lot of teammates that's on the Eagles, so I'm like
rooting for them. But like at the same time, I
played against Patrick Mahomes twice basically my whole career, and
I wouldn't bet against him.

Speaker 3 (51:41):
What was Mahomes like when he was at Texas Tech?

Speaker 2 (51:45):
He was a dog.

Speaker 3 (51:46):
He was a dog, but you knew that he would
like I thought he was. I didn't know he'd be this, yeah,
but I knew he was entertaining.

Speaker 13 (51:52):
Yeah, I remember seeing a lot about him, and I'm
like Texas Tech, like he was the only reason why
knew who Texas Tech was really a lot, a lot.

Speaker 3 (52:02):
It's great to see you, and uh, once again it's
X tech the X tech pad, so it's the letter
X and then tech padge dot com and uh, you
can check out these shoulder pads that can make you run,
just like Josh Jacobs does.

Speaker 13 (52:16):
Yeah, I mean I brought an extra parage in case
anybody want to line it up with me.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
You know, right there.

Speaker 3 (52:24):
During the commercial break PAULI had he likes to take
on people. Uh, it doesn't go well for Paulie. You
don't want any of this job. No, you don't know,
you don't. I'll take the glasses off.

Speaker 13 (52:35):
By the way, Chicago Bears fan, we it's the Bear.
I think they have a really good team. But you know,
it all starts with the pey.

Speaker 3 (52:47):
Listen, well, does it start with the panic? I start
with the Lions.

Speaker 13 (52:52):
I mean the Lions had a good year or two,
but I mean if you look at the last ten
twelve years, it's the peck.

Speaker 3 (52:58):
For Viking, it's pretty good too. Do you shovel your
own snow in Green Bays?

Speaker 6 (53:07):
No?

Speaker 13 (53:07):
Okay, yeah, yeah, no, it actually the only snow maybe
twice last year.

Speaker 3 (53:13):
But it doesn't snow in Oklahoma, does it?

Speaker 2 (53:16):
H Sometimes sometimes Yeah.

Speaker 3 (53:19):
Yeah, you gotta get rich used to that cold though.
It's tough to get used to that cold.

Speaker 4 (53:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (53:23):
I mean it's not that bad because we practice in it,
but when it's the days that it's wet, it's like.

Speaker 3 (53:29):
Yeah, no, yeah, great to see. Thanks for joining us.
Appreciate Josh Jacobs, Green Bay Packers running back take a
break back after this
