Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final Hour on this Monday back from New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Everybody made it safely in here, Fritzy Seaton, Marv Paul
yours truly, it's Monday. So best and worst of the
weekend which you saw that you liked you didn't like.
We'll talk to Lewis Riddick of the Mothership.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
He'll join us coming up.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
As the Eagles blow out the Chiefs to win Super
Bowl fifty nine, here's Andy Reid on what he saw
from the Philadelphia Eagles defense.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Yeah, so Vic does a nice job with that defense.
They played well. They've got good players and a good
scheme and they executed better than what we did. Coach better,
Charson May and they played better.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
It's almost like Andy Reid is getting a Hall passed today. Now, yes,
he should blame himself because I still the play calling
to me was baffling. And granted, Andy Reid is forgot
and more football than I know, but still you're going,
how about you run? I mean, the Eagles continued to
run Saquon Barkley. He wasn't getting yardage, but they still
(01:10):
had to have that reminder of we got to stop
Saquon Barkley. And yes, they were saying go ahead and
beat us. To Jalen Hurts, I thought that maybe they
were saying to Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, let's see
if you can run the football on us. It's almost
like we'll let you get yardage with us. We're not
going to let you beat us. So here you had
(01:31):
a defense with Philadelphia saying we're not going to let
Mahomes beat us. Kansas City was saying we're not going
to let Saquon Barkley beat us. The Eagles made better
adjustments here. Now were they a better team? Yes, they
were a better team. And we talked about this during
the week and I said, if there's going to be
a blowout, it'll be Philadelphia over Kansas City because they
(01:52):
have so much firepower. But did I think in that moment,
game on the line, Mahomes with the ball. Yes, it
just never got to that point Philadelphia that that defense
they dictated what Philadelphia did and really embarrassed them. They
didn't blitch one time. Six sacks, three turnovers. That's impressive.
(02:16):
I mean, that's that the totality of the Philadelphia Eagles
was on display and very, very impressive. Here's Jalen Hurts,
the Eagles quarterback.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
It's been a long journey.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
It's been a journey of ups and downs and highs
and lows, and I've always stayed true to it in
the end and having his vision of just being the
best that I can be, and that evolving over time
into his desire and his flame inside to win. And
you don't do great things without the guys around you,
the effort, the word, always leaning on that, trusting in
(02:48):
that and trusting the process and staying the course and
sticking to the script.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yeah, he did a great job.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Now, the first interception was bad, and I don't know
if there's a miscommunication or or he was worried about
following through and hitting his hand on somebody's helmet who
was coming up the middle. But other than that, he
had a couple of big runs. He had seventy two
rushing yards that broke the record of most rushing yards
by a quarterback in a Super Bowl set by Jalen
(03:18):
Hurds in Super Bowl fifty seven. He had seventy yards
in that game. Go ahead, Marvin, start up a day,
startup the day status the day, startup, the day Statup
Day Day Day, brought to you by Panini America, the
official training cards of the Dan Patrick Show. Good morning,
(03:39):
you're watching on Peacock or you're listening iHeartRadio, Fox Sports
Radio over four hundred cities that carry this program.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Seaton. Poll question for hour three is going to be won.
Let me update you on who had the worst night?
That was our poll question.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Okay, oh boy, yeah, okay, let's guess Marvin. I'll go
to you who had the worst night of everybody? On
our poll question? Patrick Mahomes, All right.
Speaker 7 (04:08):
Paul, our fans are going to vote for Nick right
on this pole question, Todd Malmes.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
I was going to say Drake, but you have to
know the beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, and I'm
I'm going to say that he's not the favorite. I'm
going to say this audience is going to say Nick Wright.
Speaker 8 (04:28):
Seaton, Nicholas right, currently in second, puplace, Oh, Drake currently
in third. Patrick Mahomes running away.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Yeah, congratulations, Congratulations.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Chris and Sacramento.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Then we'll come up with the poll question for the
final hour there seating All right, Chris, thanks for holding.
Speaker 9 (04:55):
Of course, thanks for taking my phone call. All I
got to say I got the best of the weekend.
Speaker 10 (04:59):
Of course, Mike Burns went in.
Speaker 9 (05:01):
Then Fly Eagles Fly on the road to victory. Man,
heck yeah, I love the way our defense played, and
the MVP should have went to Nick Vangio. I don't
know if you can give it to a devisit coordinator,
but by far, Nick vic Fangio should have been the MVP.
He had a tremendous game plan against Patrick Mahomes and
(05:23):
they couldn't do anything. They were The Chiefs are a
wobbly team all year, and it showed in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Thank you, Chris.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I don't think you could give it to a coordinator,
but vic Fangio did a See. The thing is is
he didn't need to do anything like I don't know
if I could give it to you because she didn't
do anything. Unless I go, man, that's a gutsy strategy.
You're not going to blitz Patrick Mahomes. I don't think
(05:50):
at any point did Tom Brady say, you know, Vic
Fangio's dialing something up, because he didn't. Uh, you know,
Spags was dialing thing up, but not Big Fangio. Yes, Marvin, No,
you took the words out of my mouth completely agree
Sewn and Oregon Hi sean best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 11 (06:11):
Thanks thanks for taking my call, Dan Hey. The best
of the weekend was getting to see Hube Brown for
one last time and listening to him and dropping knowledge,
and you know, after everything he's done for basketball and everything,
that was a great tribute they did for him in
Milwaukee where he got to start in the NBA as
an assistant. And I think over the worst of the
weekend is you know another guy that's just he's had
(06:33):
turned eighty two this summer and they had that tribute
for Jimmy Johnson, and nobody's reading into that this is
probably his last last time the Super Bowl is broadcaster Yep.
I really don't think he's coming back.
Speaker 9 (06:43):
Rob.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
I don't know. He talked about one more year. I
saw him at dinner on Friday night. He still looks great,
But I don't know. I don't like Terry Bradshaw, I
think is going to do a few more years. They're
trying to get that pregame show a little younger, bringing
in Edelman. I mean they have a few pieces. Gronk
is in there as well. You know what, Gronk sometimes
(07:07):
will say some really interesting things. But I think the
way that he's kind of bought into the Gronk character,
it takes away from when he's going to give you,
you know, a true opinion knowledge, good points, because you're
still kind of waiting for him to be like Gronk. Yeah,
(07:29):
and he's got that pizza commercial where he's like, you know,
so he's got this character and it hurts his credibility
only because you're so used to him being goofy and
he was making really good points, but you still you
hear him and you're like, I'm waiting for him to
say something funny.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Yeah, you're totally.
Speaker 7 (07:49):
Right, because Gronk has been there in every sense, winning, losing,
And if you just transcribe what he says, he's got
good points on the defense and offense. But it's almost
like watching Tom Hanks and Big. It's like a child
in a man sized body, the way he talks like
Big two.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Zach in Knoxville, Zach in Knoxville, Hey.
Speaker 9 (08:08):
Zach.
Speaker 10 (08:09):
ADP thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 12 (08:11):
Man kind of gonna switch gears here with what I
was what y'all are talking about? Except for the eagle,
I say, we saved the dynasty talk for the mothership,
because I just get into a Super Bowl a couple
of years ago and then winning this one. Let's pump
the brakes on that. What I did want to ask
you about is when you interviewed Dion last week and
(08:33):
he said that Jerry Jones puts his team in the
best position better than anybody in the league to win
a Super Bowl each year. I was kind of surprised
that you didn't push back on that a little bit,
because I mean, even going back to last year, we
can see what they didn't do to try to shure
up that.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
There were a lot of things. You know, I had
a time element.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
There are a lot of things I was trying to
touch on with Dion because he loves Jerry. He's loved him,
you know, because Jerry takes care of him, took care
of him and even now bringing him in and consulting
him and vice versa. But you're right, I mean, could
I have pushed back to say he hasn't put his team, Yeah, absolutely,
(09:16):
But I think I was more focused on his son,
the role that he's going to play. Those were more
important and those were the ones that got headlines.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
But yeah, I could have pushed back. I did push
back when he was saying, you know that.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I'd be critical or we would be critical of his
son if he ran the ball, and I said that's
not the case, and he got he was feisty. He
came in in a feisty mood and I said, look,
I criticized. You know, I've talked about Josh Allen like
I was once again getting in the weeds here of
how I was interviewing him.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah. Could I have pushed back? Yeah? Should I?
Speaker 9 (09:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Probably, But that wasn't what my agenda was.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
It was more of just the draft and the role
that he's going to play, because I do think that
that's the pertinent part of this. We all know that
Jerry hasn't done a good job. Mark in California, Hi, Mark,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 13 (10:10):
What up?
Speaker 14 (10:11):
Bub Hey? Question for you? And forgive me, I'm channeling
my inner Polly or Seaton. I don't know who's more snarky.
But the question I have for you is all possible,
full question. Who had the better or worse night? Travis
Kelcey for obvious reasons or Jason Kelsey for missing it
(10:32):
by one year and being just a bit outside and
then Dan, with your inner generosity that you're famous for.
Is it too late to offer a full sale university
full ride scholarship to Tom Brady?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Now that's snarky. Thank you, Mark, thank you.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I would encourage Tom, and I'm sure there he's got
a ton of people around him to be honest. There
were times when I did this radio show at the
Mothership I needed.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
People to be honest with me.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
It wasn't a good show, and it took a long
time before I think I got that feedback. Tom needs
to be aggressive. He needs to act, not react. I
need a little more Romo in him or Collinsworth. You
need to be into it. Tell me what you're seeing
in real time now. I don't want to hear after
(11:28):
the fact. And I think that's what Tom really needs.
You got to be aggressive. Don't wait to be set
up by Kevin burkhard. Go get it. Be into it
as you would be when you played. I need you
to announce the way you played when you run out
and go, you know, let's bleep and go. Let that's
what I want to don't try to sound great, look great,
(11:52):
be great. There are times Okay, I'll use this analogy
Let's say you see a painting, you're like, boy, that's impressive,
and then you see all the paint splattered all over
the place in paint brushes and it's on you know,
the artist.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I mean, that's what that is.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
It's gonna be messy at times, but be aggressive, go
after it. Give me a heads up before something happens,
not after it happens. And sometimes you didn't even offer
after it happens. But you got a great play by
play guy who was setting you up. But you need
to uphold your end of the bargain. You gotta be
aggressive and go after things.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
Yes, PAULI, I've been thinking about this and I think
Fox is partially responsible for the criticism of Brady. Brady
was supposed to start at Fox as their lead broadcaster
last year. If he had done so, his first season
would have not ended up with him calling the Super Bowl.
It would have been a nice, clean, rookie season of
good football. He would have got critiqued. This would have
been year two. Imagine him calling the Super Bowl in
(12:51):
his second year. I'll bet you be drastically different. Fox.
Let him take that gap year or whatever word you
want to use, and that set Tom up to be
over criticized this year. In a Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Year, I would have had him split time between being
in the studio and then calling a couple of games
and just get kind of immersed in everything that goes
on there, you know, with the pregame show with all
the analysts there. Let me see if they bring out
the best in you go out and do a couple
of games. But he really needs to attack, you know,
(13:22):
Troy Aikman has become really good because he doesn't like
he broadcasts the game like he doesn't really care from
the standpoint, I'm going to say what I feel. And
he's become a better broadcaster because of that. But it
took Troy a while. You're so cognizant of what you're saying,
how you're saying, how's it going to be interpreted? Are
(13:43):
they still going to be my friends? Are players going
to be upset or coach is going to be up
Either do the job or don't do the job. Because
you're going to be an owner with the Raiders and
you're not going to try to be pretty when you
do that.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Whatever it takes to win. This is a different, This
is something different.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
You're trying to win at But you have to be
aggressive and if you're not, then you're always going to
be after the fact. Give me something that I just
saw and that's not a great broadcaster, and I'm going
to guess you want to be a great broadcaster. We'll
take a break. Coming up, we'll talk to Lewis Riddick
and the Mothership. More phone calls as well. We'll take
(14:22):
a break. Oh, I just got word that the actor
Kevin Bacon, big Eagles fan, is going to join us
on the program tomorrow. I think he even wrote a
song a while ago. Does that sound right, Todd.
Speaker 15 (14:34):
Yeah, he was involved with some anthem a few years back,
I think around twenty eighteen when they were in the
Super Bowl a few years back, and he was part
of that.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Okay.
Speaker 15 (14:42):
I don't know if he volunteered or they went to
him and said, hey, can you help us put something together?
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Okay, So he wrote an anthem dedicated to the team's
hometown called It's a Philly Thing. Yeah, something like that.
So the actor Kevin Bacon will be on the program tomorrow.

A couple of phone calls, then we'll hear from Lewis Riddick.
He was on the call with Chris Fowler and Dana Orlofsky.
They did the Super Bowl for the audience in Australia
and New Zealand. David in Denver joins us, Hi, David,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 13 (16:22):
Well?
Speaker 9 (16:22):
How you doing?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Man?
Speaker 13 (16:23):
I'm Travis Kelcey. I'm scoring sixes on and off the field.
I don't really think that he should be a consideration
for being on the rushmore of tight ends. Last night
there was two. There's back to back sacks and if
you look at those back to back sacks, they were
given up by Travis Kelcey. He doesn't block. He's a
great receiver and I respect that, but he got a block.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
And if you're a tight end, well, not all tight
ends block.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Not everybody's George Kittle, but uh, Travis kelce will go
down in history as one of the greatest tight ends,
if not the best tight end. Lewis Riddick of the
Mothership College Football, NFL analyst and former front office exec
with the Washington and Philadelphia. You don't get a Super
(17:11):
Bowl ring though this time around, right with the Eagles.
They don't give it to you.
Speaker 18 (17:16):
No, man, I'm good, but I'll tell you what they
earned one last night, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
When did you know that this like the tempo of
the game or the style of the game, that's the
way it was going to be through the entirety of it.
Speaker 10 (17:35):
He got the feeling early on Dan that Patrick wasn't
quite on it.
Speaker 18 (17:38):
He didn't have his best stuff on the first series
when he missed he missed Travis on a little zone
route coming over the middle where he had found the
zone board and he kind of missed him through the
ball behind him. You were like, Okay, he doesn't look
like he's quite in sync, but you know, there's a
lot of game left to go.
Speaker 10 (17:56):
And I think in the second.
Speaker 18 (17:57):
Quarter when it was when on the back to back
interceptions on the pick six by Cooper de Gene and
then on the Nick Mike Zach, that's when you knew
that the pressure was really something that was bothering Patrick
a lot.
Speaker 10 (18:10):
And Joe Toney didn't have it.
Speaker 18 (18:12):
They they really had a very very very detailed plant
as far as how they wanted to rst Patrick, and
it was all about outside pressure, constricting the pocket, the
two interior defensive tackles, making sure you just push the pocket.
Speaker 10 (18:25):
With power and don't give him an area to step up.
Speaker 18 (18:28):
And they were constricting that pocket so fast you could
clearly see that. When Patrick typically would step up and
find the lane to throw the football, like he's done
all year long, his eyes have to be down the field,
and eveund know where all five eligibles were.
Speaker 10 (18:40):
When he stepped up in this.
Speaker 18 (18:41):
Pocket, his eyes were looking at Worth's jail and Carter Worth.
Milton Williams, I'm not really worried about who's downfield.
Speaker 10 (18:47):
I'm worried about trying to survive this thing.
Speaker 18 (18:49):
But I think those back to back interceptions, that's when
you knew the game was over at that point right there.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Okay, but where is the genius of Andy Reid here?
You know, I know Mahomes will get a lot of
blame here. They didn't do anything really different to counteract
a defense that wasn't even blitzing.
Speaker 10 (19:07):
Yeah, I think the problem was this.
Speaker 18 (19:11):
One and they didn't try to run the football against
the team that wasn't really loading the box and was
inviting you to run simply because they felt as though
the fact that they don't blitz a lot and they
were going to rush forward that they would have five
maybe six in protection, that they would be able to
handle it.
Speaker 10 (19:24):
And they never really got.
Speaker 18 (19:25):
Off of that, despite the fact that their offensive line
was shown we're not handling it. And they thought that
Patrick would be the equalizer like he has been all
season long, that he would be able to manage the
pressure because he's so good in the pocket. But this
was at a different speed, this is at a different tempo,
and you know what, sometimes even great players like Patrick
Mahomes are just don't have their best stuff dan and
(19:45):
he didn't have it.
Speaker 10 (19:47):
He just didn't. The defense hung in there, They hung
in there, they hung in there.
Speaker 18 (19:50):
They obviously made a concerted effort to make sure Saquan
didn't get going. And they said, Jalen Hurts, you're gonna
have to beat us, and Jalen Hurts said, perfect, I'll
beat you then, and see then what wound up happening
is I just think the whole team got fatigued mentally
and physically and to the point where it was like
the offense knew that we can't block these guys, and
the defense was like the offense can't move the ball.
(20:13):
We're doing everything we can to shut down one of
the best players in the league, but now we can't
really rush the passer because we're in run stop mode
and it's just all fed on itself.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Yeah, it's one of It's like when a pitcher doesn't
have his best stuff, but he still goes out there
and he's trying to fool you a little bit, trying
to trick you a little bit, and then after a
while they weren't fooling anybody. The fact that, like, I
can't even give Vic Fangio credit because he didn't he
didn't do anything other than say to his guys, let's
don't do anything.
Speaker 10 (20:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 18 (20:42):
Remember remember when Seattle beat Denver like that, when Denver
was highly favorite and gave out the Super Bowl that
was up in New York, and you hear quarterbacks talk
a lot about the fact that sometimes they get tricked
in the feelings, Oh, you know what, this game is
not going to be that tough because these teams aren't
very difficult and Seattle wasn't very difficult.
Speaker 10 (21:00):
Figure out from a schematic standpoint, the.
Speaker 18 (21:02):
When you start playing, I mean, you realize that it
may be simplistic in terms of its structure, but the
speed and the ferocity with which they play it overwhelms you.
Kansas City for the first time since well, dang, since
maybe Patrick Mahomes became a starter in twenty eighteen, outside
of the Super Bowl in twenty twenty when they lost
(21:24):
to Tampa Bay, that's the first time I've really seen
that team look overwhelmed to where they look like an
inferior football team. Yeah, and that's what I mean. And Vic,
you know what we were talking about on TV this morning.
Vick was sitting up there in that box looking down
at that field, going, I don't need to send anymore.
Speaker 10 (21:41):
I don't need to do anything. I'm just gonna unlease
my big dog and let them go.
Speaker 18 (21:45):
And you know what, when it's like that, then sometimes
football is just that simple. Bigger, faster, stronger guys who
are more ticked off beat guys who aren't as big
and as fast as strong.
Speaker 10 (21:55):
And that's what happened.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Talking to Lewis Riddick of the Mothership, he was on
the call with Chris dan Orlovsky for the fans in
Australia and New Zealand last night when it was seventeen
to nothing, and I thought, Okay, Mahomes will get a touchdown,
go into halftime, regroup, come back out, you get the
ball second half, and then all of a sudden it
doesn't happen that way, And I thought, okay, what adjustments
(22:18):
do you make at halftime? And I'm still waiting to
see what adjustments were you going to make against the Egings.
I mean that to me baffled at me more than
anything I think last night.
Speaker 18 (22:31):
Yeah, they came out early in the second half, do
you remember, and they tried to run the ball. They
got maybe five or six, and you're kind of thinking, okay, well,
maybe they'll try and mix it up a little bit.
Maybe it won't be past past past, maybe they'll run
it on first, maybe screen it on second, maybe try
and run play action on first, maybe screen it on
first down. But they went right back to what they
(22:51):
wanted to do, which they felt as though, and I
look and I understand it. They felt as though they
had enough cover, two cover four beaters and two of
the routes that they had that if they could just
get enough protection, Patrick would be able to find find
a way to move the ball down in the field
and score because he's done it to everyone. But the neutralizer,
the great neutralizer, the great equalizer, was the fact that
(23:15):
the four guys up front just would not allow it
to happen.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
They just wouldn't.
Speaker 10 (23:21):
And you know, one of the things I.
Speaker 18 (23:22):
Always say in scouting, that has always been said to
me is when you make two moves to fix one problem,
it's usually gonna end bad. When there's a team that
can really exploit the fact that you made two moves
to fix one, moving Joe Tooney to left tackle and
then inserting a backup and left guard. That's two moves
to fix one at left tackle, a premium position. Going
up against a team like Philly, They're not gonna let
you get away with that.
Speaker 10 (23:42):
They're just not.
Speaker 18 (23:44):
And and then you know, Teddy Bruski made a great
point this morning, and I noticed it when it happened
on the field, but Teddy articulating it perfectly. Remember when
Milton Williams strip sacked Patrick and then you saw Jalen
Carter basically just slap him right in the face.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah, and you.
Speaker 18 (24:01):
Well, number one, I was concerned that Patrick may have
hurt his elbow because the way he got stripped, But
it was a blatant hands that a face headshot from
Jalen Carter that to me said this team was ticked off.
This team wanted to send a message, and the message
they were going to send was we're going to literally
beat you up because we're bigger, we're.
Speaker 10 (24:21):
Faster, and we're stronger. And that's something that Brett Feach
is going to have to come to grips with.
Speaker 18 (24:25):
And I'm sure last night he was thinking, you know what,
for as great as we've been, as many games as
we've won in, as great as Patrick is, the fact
of the matter is we had a blind spot maybe
exposed last night, which is we have to have guys
who Andy Reid doesn't have to be perfect, Patrick doesn't
have to be perfect, Spags.
Speaker 10 (24:44):
Doesn't have to be perfect.
Speaker 18 (24:45):
We need more of that physical element that Philadelphia obviously has.
Speaker 10 (24:49):
And can rely on.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
We likened it to Mahomes. You know, he took a
hit last night literally figuratively with his legacy. But it's
like when got knocked out by Buster. Yeah, when Ronda
Rowsey got knocked out all of a sudden, that era
of invincibility. Now, we saw a little bit of that
in the Tampa loss in the Super Bowl, but this
is one of those where, hey, Mahomes with the ball
(25:12):
game on the line, you know that's who you want.
That's two blowout losses in the super Bowl on his resume.
How big of a hit do you think it that
he took last night?
Speaker 10 (25:24):
Knowing Patrick, knowing the people who know Patrick like they do.
I don't think.
Speaker 18 (25:29):
I don't think it'll be something where you know, like
when you're talking about like a rond of Rowsey type
situation where you know a fighter is on the decline
or clearly they just don't have it anymore.
Speaker 10 (25:39):
Patrick still has it. But the cool, the cool thing
about this is that this is.
Speaker 18 (25:43):
A team game and clearly he can't get it done
just all on his own. Twice now when he's gotten
blown out in the super Bowl and gotten beat up
in the super Bowl, it's been because Dolphins.
Speaker 10 (25:52):
The line has just caved in. This caves are like
unrelenting pressure.
Speaker 18 (25:56):
Think about Philadelphia last year, how they exited the playoffs
and how you're looking at Jalen Hurts last year and
you're sitting there going this team's done this team's not.
Speaker 10 (26:04):
They're not.
Speaker 18 (26:04):
They're not the powerhouse in nantacy. And in one year
with the way in which they were able to fortify
the offensive line, get sa Quon Barkley and a defense
and change over the defensive side of the ball with
Vic Fangio, and next thing you know, Jalen Carter's becoming.
Speaker 10 (26:16):
An absolute freak.
Speaker 18 (26:18):
And they get two rookies like Quinnon Mitchell and Cooper Dezine,
and now they're looking like a team like people are going, no,
they're never gonna lose again. They're never gonna lose again.
You'll they'll be able to fix this. But Brett has
to go to work and it can't just be about
Andy's genius in Patrick's you know, ability to always pull
it out in the end, which we've all become kind
(26:39):
of drunk with. We've all become like this intoxicated by
because the guy is a once in a generation player.
But what he's showing you is that this is still
the ultimate team game. And when you brought up against
a team that's evenly matched or even better than you physically,
all the schemes and plague falls and shovel passes and
they'll look passes in the world ain't gonna work because
football is still like what Phil Parcels and Belichick and
(27:01):
every other old school coach talks about. It's about imposing
your will in another person. And Philly imposed their will
on Kannessey last night to the point where it looked
like eighty five Bears versus New England Patriots in that
same stadium.
Speaker 10 (27:15):
It was like, you have no shots. You can't even
move the fall. I mean, it was unbelievable.
Speaker 18 (27:21):
I was, I was in all I mean, my jaw
was hitting the floor, sitting there doing They can't they
can't do anything. That is not how any of us
thought that would happen, besides maybe the people in Philadelphia
in that locker room Lewis.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
They poured the gatorade with three minutes left. That has
to be about the earliest gatorade poll. If that was
a fight a heavyweight, they would have stopped that they
no doubt, they would have stopped hitting the third quarter
and they would have.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Said, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Most curious player decision in the off season with anybody,
whether it's Russell Wilson or Sam Darnold or Aaron Rodgers,
who or what are you most curious about in the offseason.
Speaker 18 (28:02):
I'm curious about really, you know about, let's see, where
does Miles Garrett end up and does Cleveland actually let
him go?
Speaker 10 (28:11):
Do they actually say you know?
Speaker 18 (28:12):
Because you know, obviously Andrew Berry has said that he's
not a guy who I want to trade. I'm not
gonna trade him. But where does he go? And does
he Is he a missing piece for a team? Is
he a missing piece for a team like Detroit?
Speaker 10 (28:23):
Is he a team? Is he a guy who like
a team like Kansas City?
Speaker 18 (28:26):
Quite honestly, they need a guy like that, they need
a closer like that. Where does he wind up going?
Because outside a quarterback Remiam pass rushers who are like
on the verge of doing historic things rushing the past
or don't hit the market, they usually don't get moved.
Speaker 10 (28:42):
And so Miles is.
Speaker 18 (28:43):
Going to be one of the biggest stories of the
all season and the only reason why it's probably not
bigger is because of the fact that he plays for
Cleveland right now and nobody cares about Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Okay, but you worked in the front office of two
NFL teams. Yeah, if you worked in the Browns front office,
you're the GM and Miles Garrett says, he wants to
be traded knowing what you need for your team, and
but you don't want to be the guy who traded
him away.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
What would you do with that situation?
Speaker 18 (29:08):
That situation has so many other tentacles, because you know,
I just get to feeling Andrew Berry's not doing anything
in a vacuum and he's being told what to do.
But I would strongly suggest to the people who ultimately
make that decision, if it wasn't just all mine on
my own, I would say, hey, look, we need to
consider moving him, okay, because we need a lot, we
need help. And as much as that sucks, because he's
(29:31):
one of the greatest players in the history of this franchise,
we have to move him. And it's why, honest I
would I would then want to have another conversation Dan,
which is how we gotten to the point where a
guy who we drafted and we developed here in house,
who is beloved in Cleveland all of our fan base
can't blame that.
Speaker 10 (29:46):
They don't blame him. They would say they would want
out too.
Speaker 18 (29:48):
How have we How have we gotten to the point
where our best players don't want to stay here anymore?
Speaker 10 (29:53):
Like that's it.
Speaker 18 (29:54):
That's an even bigger issue for them that I don't know.
Maybe Jimmy has them, wants to have those conversations. Maybe
he doesn't, but he needs because if he doesn't, good
luck getting a new stadium. Good luck getting you know,
good luck getting that fan based to rally behind you
when you're alienating a guy who was truly, you know,
one of the best pass rushers that this game has
ever seen.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Safe travels back. Thanks for joining us the entire season.
Always appreciate your insights.
Speaker 10 (30:18):
Of course, man, you bet anytime.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
That's Lewis Riddick of the Mothership and he was on
the call with Chris Fowler Dan Orlovsky for the fans
in Australia. In New Zealand, I don't know why they
need a separate feed for that, Like, couldn't they just
take Tom Brady and Kevin Burkhart. I don't know how
that works unless so does ESPN have the feed to
(30:44):
New Zealand In Australia. Therefore they hire their own announcers
for this that they can't take the Fox broadcast or
they don't want to.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
I guess, yes, PAULI.
Speaker 7 (30:58):
Think about your question. Is there any chance that brought
podcast is not dumb down but more palatable for an
international audience that maybe doesn't know football as well. I
can't think of any other reason.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
No, those guys are all hardcore. I can't I mat
Orlowski and Lewis with Fowler. That has to be something
contractual with ESPN having the rights to it, therefore they
have to But I guess they're still taking Fox's broadcast
the coverage of the game, but they're the ones that
doing the play by play in the color.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
James in Virginia, James, welcome back, best and worst of
the weekend.
Speaker 19 (31:38):
Oh thanks for taking my call, brother Havy Monday Dvdane,
Salute the Commanders man, and what a crazy ending to
the NFL season. I felt like it was the nineteen
nineties again, man watching the blowout. Couldn't believe what I
was watching. I think we can put to bed who
is the fifth best quarterback and he might even be
the second best quarterback in the NFL with Mahomes, Burrow, Jackson,
(32:00):
Allen Jalen Hurks has completely surprised me this year his
ability to throw the ball down the field, especially in
key moments of the football game. His calmness has definitely,
in my opinion, elevated him into the top five quarterbacks
in the NFL. And you know, I'm a Jayden guy
all the way. But what a game last night by
(32:20):
Jalen hurt I think the biggest stat that blew me
away last night after the game that I saw was
he's only the second quarterback in NFL history in the
Super Bowl that has two passing plus touchdowns, a rushing
TD and fifty plus yards. And I guess the thing
that blew me away the most, look he shared that
with Joe Montana. And when you're in a category with
Joe Montana, you're definitely in the upper echelon. I can't
(32:43):
believe I'm talking this good about Philly Man. But what
a performance last night.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Okay, would you James, would you rather have Jalen Hurts
or Jaden Daniels?
Speaker 19 (32:52):
Oh No, I got a ride with five Man. You know, fine,
Washington have been waiting so long for a guy like
five Man and Jayden Fi it's certainly alive and I
can't wait to Washington better go after Garrett Man, because
I think one thing is true last night that you saw.
If you do not invest in your offense and defensive line.
You really, man, the game changes for you, and Philly's
(33:13):
offense and defensive line control that game NonStop in front
of Batman. So definitely got to focus on those two
key points man, but got a ride with five man
Jam and five for sure.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
All right, thank you, James. We'll take a break. Last
call for phone calls, what we learn, what's in store tomorrow?
Also this day in sports history.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Right after this, be sure to catch the live edition
of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern
six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
A couple more phone calls before we close up shop
on this Monday. Big Eagles fan actor Kevin Bacon will
join us tomorrow. Stat of the Day brought to you
by Panini America, the official trading cards of The Dan
Patrick Show. How about this day in sports history, Pauline,
what do you have for us?
Speaker 7 (34:01):
Just a couple for you? Nineteen twenty Major League Baseball
outlaw pitches that involved tampering with the ball. Before that,
you could do spitballs, you could cut it, you could
do whatever, shine balls. They called it all different things.
And the umpire has had no authority to throw it
out of the game. And let's see, Oh, nineteen sixty one,
the AFL's Los Angeles franchise was transferred to San Diego.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Nineteen sixty nine, Pete Marriage had sixty nine points. LSU
lost to Tulane one oh one to ninety four. Wasn't
it last week where we had Maravich scoring forty seven
points in the second half of a game against Alabama.
I think he had sixty nine points. Twice without a
(34:44):
three point shot, he would have had seventy five points
probably at least, because that's mind boggling. Sixty nine points.
He had forty seven in the second half the game
against Alabama. Alrighty, final results of the poll question there,
see Noel Connor.
Speaker 8 (35:05):
That that's kind of like, I'm just going to take
care of this myself kind of moment real quick. Okay,
let's see who had the worst night, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey,
and Taylor Swift, Tom Brady the broadcaster, we have Fox
Graphics team, We've got a million options for you here.
Forty six percent of that vote as Patrick Mahomes, followed
by Nick Wright, who was then just ahead of Drake.
Speaker 20 (35:26):
Okay, so Drake went to New Zealand or Australia. Yeah,
I think he's I think he's somewhere old. I mean
he was literally figuratively down under like I was on
tour Andrew and Grand Rapids. Hi, Andrew, it's on your
mind today?
Speaker 21 (35:44):
Hey guys, five to eleven one eighty. Just wanted to
put my two cents in. I thought the halftime show
was actually pretty poor. It was a good performance for
like a concert if you're going to Kendrick. I mean,
I'm a Kendrick fan, but I thought it was very
played down for as greater performances as we've had on
(36:05):
Super Bowls. And I couldn't help but think with Drake's
catalog of music, he had to have been watching that going. Man,
I would have done a better show than Kado. Just
want to know what you guys thought on that. I
didn't think it was as big a hit as I think.
That song's a little a little played out of late,
So let me know what you guys think.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Yeah, I thought it was played for Kendrick Lamar's fan base.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
It wasn't played for a large crowd that was that
was like focused and I'm surprised the NFL let him
do it that way. But he was definitely performing that
for his fan base, for his crowd. He wasn't playing,
you know, nationally. I don't think he even cared about that.
(36:48):
It was for Los Angeles and it was you know,
for his fan base. Yeah, yeah, like right.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
I get the sense that Kendrick Lamar was like doing it.
Speaker 8 (36:58):
It was more important to in the culture right and
doing it for the culture rather than mass appeal by
people who buy and large. If you don't already know
him and you're not already a fan, chances are he's
not gonna win you over that night anyway. So I
can he can quadruple down on everything that has already
made him great, and the people that love him are
(37:18):
gonna love him even.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
More for it. Yes, Yes, that he stayed true.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
He was him one hundred percent. Yeah, he didn't cave
in and hey, we want you to play these songs.
He was like, I'm gonna play my songs. But when
Serena came out, that was where I went.
Speaker 9 (37:36):
Damn.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
He not putting his feud to bed anytime soon with
Drake because Drake dated Serena. You imagine that phone call,
Kendrick calling up Serena. Hey girl, you want to get
back at Drake? Well, yeah, how all right, I'm gonna
have you come on during a song I'm in And
(37:59):
it was like eight seconds where she's on TV and
it happens so quickly. It's like, wait, is that Stree
That looked like Sereno Walls? But uh, I respect the
fact that he's on and who he was playing to
and he was not going to change.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
I respect it. It wasn't for me, but I I
like the performance.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Music not for me, but I do respect the people
who I admire who love music, no music, so I
respect their opinions of it and what he does and
how he does it. And I like a good feud,
but I don't even know if it's a feud anymore.
It feels like it's really it was like the Eagles
against the Chiefs. Kendrick was the Eagles last night? Yes, yes, Marv, Yeah,
(38:47):
that was kind of like bullying last night.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
It was like we won the fight.
Speaker 22 (38:50):
I got a chain that's a lowercase A, which means
a minor in the entire state thing. I like most people,
they probably don't know kids like my wife, she doesn't
know that many kind Lamar songs. But she was ready
for not like us.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
She's like, this isn't nice to Drake Todd in South
Carolina Hide Todd DP hey two to.
Speaker 5 (39:10):
Ten actually lived in Western Australia for four years and
Perth and uh there's pretty much only one cable company
and it's heavily, heavily regulated. So my guess is ESPN
probably has the rights to spream exclusively in the country
in New Zealand, so instead of bringing the flocks people over,
(39:31):
they have to bring their own ESPN people over.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Okay, well, thank you Todd.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
It's uh I think it's another uh money resource there, Todd.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Is that what you're hearing.
Speaker 15 (39:43):
Yeah, that's what it sounds like they have.
Speaker 9 (39:44):
They have.
Speaker 15 (39:44):
There's just another tentacle and they can just kind of
go in that direction and you can make some more
money that way.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
Okay, what a shocker the NFL would come up with
another way of making more money. Sure, all right, thanks
for the phone calls, emails, tweets, the all around support
on the program.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Let's go around room. If we look, the.
Speaker 8 (40:02):
NFL has done such a good job of making money
that their biggest event of the year. There's a massive
part of the population, including football fans, who can't wait
for the commercials. That's how good they are at making
money that we're brainwashing to thinking, I can't.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
Wait for the commercial.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
Let's see what Coca Cola does this year. Were there
was there a commercial that stood out to anybody last night?
Marvin the Pringles commercial with James Harden. I like that, Yeah, yeah,
any other one that stood out. There's a weird one
where seal was a seal.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Yeah, that was that was upsetting. That was creepy.
Speaker 14 (40:36):
Great.
Speaker 8 (40:37):
There was another one too, where somebody was doing something
with their tongue that was very unsettling.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
I did not care for either of those. Yeah, yep, yep, yep, yeah, Pully.
Speaker 7 (40:45):
I think the old school fans Meg Ryan, Billy Crystal
Helmets fun cue right one.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
Yeah, Todd, What did you learn today?
Speaker 7 (40:53):
Bill Coward doesn't like the tush push.
Speaker 15 (40:55):
It's not a strategical play.
Speaker 12 (40:56):
It's rugby.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
If they take away the player be huh, the quarterback,
then I think they're gonna at keep it in the game,
because then it would just be a quarterback sneak.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
Seaton, What about you? What did you learn today? It
could be some changes coming in the off season. Marvin,
what did you learn? You wanted the chief to run more?
Speaker 19 (41:14):
I did?
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Wait, it sounded what's wrong with my voice? Paulie? What
did you learn today?
Speaker 7 (41:25):
Nick Wright may join us tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Yeah, I don't know. I'm I don't know about that. Right,
he's a little stung. I would imagine Fritzy. What did
I learn?
Speaker 15 (41:38):
Lewis rid access for the first time since Patrick Mahomes
became a star of the Chiefs looked like an overwhelmed
inferior team.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
What we learned brought to you by Keeper's Heart.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
New and unique style of whiskey combines the best of
Irish and American whiskies, creating a smooth character of Irish
whiskey and the bold flavors of American whiskies. If you're
a whiskey fan, you gotta try it. Drink responsibly. Thanks
for joining us, Thanks for the phone calls, the tweets, emails,
all around support.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
We'll try to do better tomorrow. Have a great day, everybody,
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final Hour on this Monday back from New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Everybody made it safely in here, Fritzy Seaton, Marv Paul
yours truly, it's Monday. So best and worst of the
weekend which you saw that you liked you didn't like.
We'll talk to Lewis Riddick of the Mothership.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
He'll join us coming up.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
As the Eagles blow out the Chiefs to win Super
Bowl fifty nine, here's Andy Reid on what he saw
from the Philadelphia Eagles defense.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Yeah, so Vic does a nice job with that defense.
They played well. They've got good players and a good
scheme and they executed better than what we did. Coach better,
Charson May and they played better.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
It's almost like Andy Reid is getting a Hall passed today. Now, yes,
he should blame himself because I still the play calling
to me was baffling. And granted, Andy Reid is forgot
and more football than I know, but still you're going,
how about you run? I mean, the Eagles continued to
run Saquon Barkley. He wasn't getting yardage, but they still
(01:10):
had to have that reminder of we got to stop
Saquon Barkley. And yes, they were saying go ahead and
beat us. To Jalen Hurts, I thought that maybe they
were saying to Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, let's see
if you can run the football on us. It's almost
like we'll let you get yardage with us. We're not
going to let you beat us. So here you had
(01:31):
a defense with Philadelphia saying we're not going to let
Mahomes beat us. Kansas City was saying we're not going
to let Saquon Barkley beat us. The Eagles made better
adjustments here. Now were they a better team? Yes, they
were a better team. And we talked about this during
the week and I said, if there's going to be
a blowout, it'll be Philadelphia over Kansas City because they
(01:52):
have so much firepower. But did I think in that moment,
game on the line, Mahomes with the ball. Yes, it
just never got to that point Philadelphia that that defense
they dictated what Philadelphia did and really embarrassed them. They
didn't blitch one time. Six sacks, three turnovers. That's impressive.
(02:16):
I mean, that's that the totality of the Philadelphia Eagles
was on display and very, very impressive. Here's Jalen Hurts,
the Eagles quarterback.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
It's been a long journey.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
It's been a journey of ups and downs and highs
and lows, and I've always stayed true to it in
the end and having his vision of just being the
best that I can be, and that evolving over time
into his desire and his flame inside to win. And
you don't do great things without the guys around you,
the effort, the word, always leaning on that, trusting in
(02:48):
that and trusting the process and staying the course and
sticking to the script.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yeah, he did a great job.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Now, the first interception was bad, and I don't know
if there's a miscommunication or or he was worried about
following through and hitting his hand on somebody's helmet who
was coming up the middle. But other than that, he
had a couple of big runs. He had seventy two
rushing yards that broke the record of most rushing yards
by a quarterback in a Super Bowl set by Jalen
(03:18):
Hurds in Super Bowl fifty seven. He had seventy yards
in that game. Go ahead, Marvin, start up a day,
startup the day status the day, startup, the day Statup
Day Day Day, brought to you by Panini America, the
official training cards of the Dan Patrick Show. Good morning,
(03:39):
you're watching on Peacock or you're listening iHeartRadio, Fox Sports
Radio over four hundred cities that carry this program.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Seaton. Poll question for hour three is going to be won.
Let me update you on who had the worst night?
That was our poll question.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Okay, oh boy, yeah, okay, let's guess Marvin. I'll go
to you who had the worst night of everybody? On
our poll question? Patrick Mahomes, All right.
Speaker 7 (04:08):
Paul, our fans are going to vote for Nick right
on this pole question, Todd Malmes.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
I was going to say Drake, but you have to
know the beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, and I'm
I'm going to say that he's not the favorite. I'm
going to say this audience is going to say Nick Wright.
Speaker 8 (04:28):
Seaton, Nicholas right, currently in second, puplace, Oh, Drake currently
in third. Patrick Mahomes running away.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Yeah, congratulations, Congratulations.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Chris and Sacramento.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Then we'll come up with the poll question for the
final hour there seating All right, Chris, thanks for holding.
Speaker 9 (04:55):
Of course, thanks for taking my phone call. All I
got to say I got the best of the weekend.
Speaker 10 (04:59):
Of course, Mike Burns went in.
Speaker 9 (05:01):
Then Fly Eagles Fly on the road to victory. Man,
heck yeah, I love the way our defense played, and
the MVP should have went to Nick Vangio. I don't
know if you can give it to a devisit coordinator,
but by far, Nick vic Fangio should have been the MVP.
He had a tremendous game plan against Patrick Mahomes and
(05:23):
they couldn't do anything. They were The Chiefs are a
wobbly team all year, and it showed in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Thank you, Chris.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I don't think you could give it to a coordinator,
but vic Fangio did a See. The thing is is
he didn't need to do anything like I don't know
if I could give it to you because she didn't
do anything. Unless I go, man, that's a gutsy strategy.
You're not going to blitz Patrick Mahomes. I don't think
(05:50):
at any point did Tom Brady say, you know, Vic
Fangio's dialing something up, because he didn't. Uh, you know,
Spags was dialing thing up, but not Big Fangio. Yes, Marvin, No,
you took the words out of my mouth completely agree
Sewn and Oregon Hi sean best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 11 (06:11):
Thanks thanks for taking my call, Dan Hey. The best
of the weekend was getting to see Hube Brown for
one last time and listening to him and dropping knowledge,
and you know, after everything he's done for basketball and everything,
that was a great tribute they did for him in
Milwaukee where he got to start in the NBA as
an assistant. And I think over the worst of the
weekend is you know another guy that's just he's had
(06:33):
turned eighty two this summer and they had that tribute
for Jimmy Johnson, and nobody's reading into that this is
probably his last last time the Super Bowl is broadcaster Yep.
I really don't think he's coming back.
Speaker 9 (06:43):
Rob.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
I don't know. He talked about one more year. I
saw him at dinner on Friday night. He still looks great,
But I don't know. I don't like Terry Bradshaw, I
think is going to do a few more years. They're
trying to get that pregame show a little younger, bringing
in Edelman. I mean they have a few pieces. Gronk
is in there as well. You know what, Gronk sometimes
(07:07):
will say some really interesting things. But I think the
way that he's kind of bought into the Gronk character,
it takes away from when he's going to give you,
you know, a true opinion knowledge, good points, because you're
still kind of waiting for him to be like Gronk. Yeah,
(07:29):
and he's got that pizza commercial where he's like, you know,
so he's got this character and it hurts his credibility
only because you're so used to him being goofy and
he was making really good points, but you still you
hear him and you're like, I'm waiting for him to
say something funny.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Yeah, you're totally.
Speaker 7 (07:49):
Right, because Gronk has been there in every sense, winning, losing,
And if you just transcribe what he says, he's got
good points on the defense and offense. But it's almost
like watching Tom Hanks and Big. It's like a child
in a man sized body, the way he talks like
Big two.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Zach in Knoxville, Zach in Knoxville, Hey.
Speaker 9 (08:08):
Zach.
Speaker 10 (08:09):
ADP thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 12 (08:11):
Man kind of gonna switch gears here with what I
was what y'all are talking about? Except for the eagle,
I say, we saved the dynasty talk for the mothership,
because I just get into a Super Bowl a couple
of years ago and then winning this one. Let's pump
the brakes on that. What I did want to ask
you about is when you interviewed Dion last week and
(08:33):
he said that Jerry Jones puts his team in the
best position better than anybody in the league to win
a Super Bowl each year. I was kind of surprised
that you didn't push back on that a little bit,
because I mean, even going back to last year, we
can see what they didn't do to try to shure
up that.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
There were a lot of things. You know, I had
a time element.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
There are a lot of things I was trying to
touch on with Dion because he loves Jerry. He's loved him,
you know, because Jerry takes care of him, took care
of him and even now bringing him in and consulting
him and vice versa. But you're right, I mean, could
I have pushed back to say he hasn't put his team, Yeah, absolutely,
(09:16):
But I think I was more focused on his son,
the role that he's going to play. Those were more
important and those were the ones that got headlines.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
But yeah, I could have pushed back. I did push
back when he was saying, you know that.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I'd be critical or we would be critical of his
son if he ran the ball, and I said that's
not the case, and he got he was feisty. He
came in in a feisty mood and I said, look,
I criticized. You know, I've talked about Josh Allen like
I was once again getting in the weeds here of
how I was interviewing him.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah. Could I have pushed back? Yeah? Should I?
Speaker 9 (09:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Probably, But that wasn't what my agenda was.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
It was more of just the draft and the role
that he's going to play, because I do think that
that's the pertinent part of this. We all know that
Jerry hasn't done a good job. Mark in California, Hi, Mark,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 13 (10:10):
What up?
Speaker 14 (10:11):
Bub Hey? Question for you? And forgive me, I'm channeling
my inner Polly or Seaton. I don't know who's more snarky.
But the question I have for you is all possible,
full question. Who had the better or worse night? Travis
Kelcey for obvious reasons or Jason Kelsey for missing it
(10:32):
by one year and being just a bit outside and
then Dan, with your inner generosity that you're famous for.
Is it too late to offer a full sale university
full ride scholarship to Tom Brady?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Now that's snarky. Thank you, Mark, thank you.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I would encourage Tom, and I'm sure there he's got
a ton of people around him to be honest. There
were times when I did this radio show at the
Mothership I needed.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
People to be honest with me.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
It wasn't a good show, and it took a long
time before I think I got that feedback. Tom needs
to be aggressive. He needs to act, not react. I
need a little more Romo in him or Collinsworth. You
need to be into it. Tell me what you're seeing
in real time now. I don't want to hear after
(11:28):
the fact. And I think that's what Tom really needs.
You got to be aggressive. Don't wait to be set
up by Kevin burkhard. Go get it. Be into it
as you would be when you played. I need you
to announce the way you played when you run out
and go, you know, let's bleep and go. Let that's
what I want to don't try to sound great, look great,
(11:52):
be great. There are times Okay, I'll use this analogy
Let's say you see a painting, you're like, boy, that's impressive,
and then you see all the paint splattered all over
the place in paint brushes and it's on you know,
the artist.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I mean, that's what that is.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
It's gonna be messy at times, but be aggressive, go
after it. Give me a heads up before something happens,
not after it happens. And sometimes you didn't even offer
after it happens. But you got a great play by
play guy who was setting you up. But you need
to uphold your end of the bargain. You gotta be
aggressive and go after things.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
Yes, PAULI, I've been thinking about this and I think
Fox is partially responsible for the criticism of Brady. Brady
was supposed to start at Fox as their lead broadcaster
last year. If he had done so, his first season
would have not ended up with him calling the Super Bowl.
It would have been a nice, clean, rookie season of
good football. He would have got critiqued. This would have
been year two. Imagine him calling the Super Bowl in
(12:51):
his second year. I'll bet you be drastically different. Fox.
Let him take that gap year or whatever word you
want to use, and that set Tom up to be
over criticized this year. In a Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Year, I would have had him split time between being
in the studio and then calling a couple of games
and just get kind of immersed in everything that goes
on there, you know, with the pregame show with all
the analysts there. Let me see if they bring out
the best in you go out and do a couple
of games. But he really needs to attack, you know,
(13:22):
Troy Aikman has become really good because he doesn't like
he broadcasts the game like he doesn't really care from
the standpoint, I'm going to say what I feel. And
he's become a better broadcaster because of that. But it
took Troy a while. You're so cognizant of what you're saying,
how you're saying, how's it going to be interpreted? Are
(13:43):
they still going to be my friends? Are players going
to be upset or coach is going to be up
Either do the job or don't do the job. Because
you're going to be an owner with the Raiders and
you're not going to try to be pretty when you
do that.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Whatever it takes to win. This is a different, This
is something different.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
You're trying to win at But you have to be
aggressive and if you're not, then you're always going to
be after the fact. Give me something that I just
saw and that's not a great broadcaster, and I'm going
to guess you want to be a great broadcaster. We'll
take a break. Coming up, we'll talk to Lewis Riddick
and the Mothership. More phone calls as well. We'll take
(14:22):
a break. Oh, I just got word that the actor
Kevin Bacon, big Eagles fan, is going to join us
on the program tomorrow. I think he even wrote a
song a while ago. Does that sound right, Todd.
Speaker 15 (14:34):
Yeah, he was involved with some anthem a few years back,
I think around twenty eighteen when they were in the
Super Bowl a few years back, and he was part
of that.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Okay.
Speaker 15 (14:42):
I don't know if he volunteered or they went to
him and said, hey, can you help us put something together?
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Okay, So he wrote an anthem dedicated to the team's
hometown called It's a Philly Thing. Yeah, something like that.
So the actor Kevin Bacon will be on the program tomorrow.

A couple of phone calls, then we'll hear from Lewis Riddick.
He was on the call with Chris Fowler and Dana Orlofsky.
They did the Super Bowl for the audience in Australia
and New Zealand. David in Denver joins us, Hi, David,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 13 (16:22):
Well?
Speaker 9 (16:22):
How you doing?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Man?
Speaker 13 (16:23):
I'm Travis Kelcey. I'm scoring sixes on and off the field.
I don't really think that he should be a consideration
for being on the rushmore of tight ends. Last night
there was two. There's back to back sacks and if
you look at those back to back sacks, they were
given up by Travis Kelcey. He doesn't block. He's a
great receiver and I respect that, but he got a block.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
And if you're a tight end, well, not all tight
ends block.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Not everybody's George Kittle, but uh, Travis kelce will go
down in history as one of the greatest tight ends,
if not the best tight end. Lewis Riddick of the
Mothership College Football, NFL analyst and former front office exec
with the Washington and Philadelphia. You don't get a Super
(17:11):
Bowl ring though this time around, right with the Eagles.
They don't give it to you.
Speaker 18 (17:16):
No, man, I'm good, but I'll tell you what they
earned one last night, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
When did you know that this like the tempo of
the game or the style of the game, that's the
way it was going to be through the entirety of it.
Speaker 10 (17:35):
He got the feeling early on Dan that Patrick wasn't
quite on it.
Speaker 18 (17:38):
He didn't have his best stuff on the first series
when he missed he missed Travis on a little zone
route coming over the middle where he had found the
zone board and he kind of missed him through the
ball behind him. You were like, Okay, he doesn't look
like he's quite in sync, but you know, there's a
lot of game left to go.
Speaker 10 (17:56):
And I think in the second.
Speaker 18 (17:57):
Quarter when it was when on the back to back
interceptions on the pick six by Cooper de Gene and
then on the Nick Mike Zach, that's when you knew
that the pressure was really something that was bothering Patrick
a lot.
Speaker 10 (18:10):
And Joe Toney didn't have it.
Speaker 18 (18:12):
They they really had a very very very detailed plant
as far as how they wanted to rst Patrick, and
it was all about outside pressure, constricting the pocket, the
two interior defensive tackles, making sure you just push the pocket.
Speaker 10 (18:25):
With power and don't give him an area to step up.
Speaker 18 (18:28):
And they were constricting that pocket so fast you could
clearly see that. When Patrick typically would step up and
find the lane to throw the football, like he's done
all year long, his eyes have to be down the field,
and eveund know where all five eligibles were.
Speaker 10 (18:40):
When he stepped up in this.
Speaker 18 (18:41):
Pocket, his eyes were looking at Worth's jail and Carter Worth.
Milton Williams, I'm not really worried about who's downfield.
Speaker 10 (18:47):
I'm worried about trying to survive this thing.
Speaker 18 (18:49):
But I think those back to back interceptions, that's when
you knew the game was over at that point right there.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Okay, but where is the genius of Andy Reid here?
You know, I know Mahomes will get a lot of
blame here. They didn't do anything really different to counteract
a defense that wasn't even blitzing.
Speaker 10 (19:07):
Yeah, I think the problem was this.
Speaker 18 (19:11):
One and they didn't try to run the football against
the team that wasn't really loading the box and was
inviting you to run simply because they felt as though
the fact that they don't blitz a lot and they
were going to rush forward that they would have five
maybe six in protection, that they would be able to
handle it.
Speaker 10 (19:24):
And they never really got.
Speaker 18 (19:25):
Off of that, despite the fact that their offensive line
was shown we're not handling it. And they thought that
Patrick would be the equalizer like he has been all
season long, that he would be able to manage the
pressure because he's so good in the pocket. But this
was at a different speed, this is at a different tempo,
and you know what, sometimes even great players like Patrick
Mahomes are just don't have their best stuff dan and
(19:45):
he didn't have it.
Speaker 10 (19:47):
He just didn't. The defense hung in there, They hung
in there, they hung in there.
Speaker 18 (19:50):
They obviously made a concerted effort to make sure Saquan
didn't get going. And they said, Jalen Hurts, you're gonna
have to beat us, and Jalen Hurts said, perfect, I'll
beat you then, and see then what wound up happening
is I just think the whole team got fatigued mentally
and physically and to the point where it was like
the offense knew that we can't block these guys, and
the defense was like the offense can't move the ball.
(20:13):
We're doing everything we can to shut down one of
the best players in the league, but now we can't
really rush the passer because we're in run stop mode
and it's just all fed on itself.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Yeah, it's one of It's like when a pitcher doesn't
have his best stuff, but he still goes out there
and he's trying to fool you a little bit, trying
to trick you a little bit, and then after a
while they weren't fooling anybody. The fact that, like, I
can't even give Vic Fangio credit because he didn't he
didn't do anything other than say to his guys, let's
don't do anything.
Speaker 10 (20:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 18 (20:42):
Remember remember when Seattle beat Denver like that, when Denver
was highly favorite and gave out the Super Bowl that
was up in New York, and you hear quarterbacks talk
a lot about the fact that sometimes they get tricked
in the feelings, Oh, you know what, this game is
not going to be that tough because these teams aren't
very difficult and Seattle wasn't very difficult.
Speaker 10 (21:00):
Figure out from a schematic standpoint, the.
Speaker 18 (21:02):
When you start playing, I mean, you realize that it
may be simplistic in terms of its structure, but the
speed and the ferocity with which they play it overwhelms you.
Kansas City for the first time since well, dang, since
maybe Patrick Mahomes became a starter in twenty eighteen, outside
of the Super Bowl in twenty twenty when they lost
(21:24):
to Tampa Bay, that's the first time I've really seen
that team look overwhelmed to where they look like an
inferior football team. Yeah, and that's what I mean. And Vic,
you know what we were talking about on TV this morning.
Vick was sitting up there in that box looking down
at that field, going, I don't need to send anymore.
Speaker 10 (21:41):
I don't need to do anything. I'm just gonna unlease
my big dog and let them go.
Speaker 18 (21:45):
And you know what, when it's like that, then sometimes
football is just that simple. Bigger, faster, stronger guys who
are more ticked off beat guys who aren't as big
and as fast as strong.
Speaker 10 (21:55):
And that's what happened.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Talking to Lewis Riddick of the Mothership, he was on
the call with Chris dan Orlovsky for the fans in
Australia and New Zealand last night when it was seventeen
to nothing, and I thought, Okay, Mahomes will get a touchdown,
go into halftime, regroup, come back out, you get the
ball second half, and then all of a sudden it
doesn't happen that way, And I thought, okay, what adjustments
(22:18):
do you make at halftime? And I'm still waiting to
see what adjustments were you going to make against the Egings.
I mean that to me baffled at me more than
anything I think last night.
Speaker 18 (22:31):
Yeah, they came out early in the second half, do
you remember, and they tried to run the ball. They
got maybe five or six, and you're kind of thinking, okay, well,
maybe they'll try and mix it up a little bit.
Maybe it won't be past past past, maybe they'll run
it on first, maybe screen it on second, maybe try
and run play action on first, maybe screen it on
first down. But they went right back to what they
(22:51):
wanted to do, which they felt as though, and I
look and I understand it. They felt as though they
had enough cover, two cover four beaters and two of
the routes that they had that if they could just
get enough protection, Patrick would be able to find find
a way to move the ball down in the field
and score because he's done it to everyone. But the neutralizer,
the great neutralizer, the great equalizer, was the fact that
(23:15):
the four guys up front just would not allow it
to happen.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
They just wouldn't.
Speaker 10 (23:21):
And you know, one of the things I.
Speaker 18 (23:22):
Always say in scouting, that has always been said to
me is when you make two moves to fix one problem,
it's usually gonna end bad. When there's a team that
can really exploit the fact that you made two moves
to fix one, moving Joe Tooney to left tackle and
then inserting a backup and left guard. That's two moves
to fix one at left tackle, a premium position. Going
up against a team like Philly, They're not gonna let
you get away with that.
Speaker 10 (23:42):
They're just not.
Speaker 18 (23:44):
And and then you know, Teddy Bruski made a great
point this morning, and I noticed it when it happened
on the field, but Teddy articulating it perfectly. Remember when
Milton Williams strip sacked Patrick and then you saw Jalen
Carter basically just slap him right in the face.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah, and you.
Speaker 18 (24:01):
Well, number one, I was concerned that Patrick may have
hurt his elbow because the way he got stripped, But
it was a blatant hands that a face headshot from
Jalen Carter that to me said this team was ticked off.
This team wanted to send a message, and the message
they were going to send was we're going to literally
beat you up because we're bigger, we're.
Speaker 10 (24:21):
Faster, and we're stronger. And that's something that Brett Feach
is going to have to come to grips with.
Speaker 18 (24:25):
And I'm sure last night he was thinking, you know what,
for as great as we've been, as many games as
we've won in, as great as Patrick is, the fact
of the matter is we had a blind spot maybe
exposed last night, which is we have to have guys
who Andy Reid doesn't have to be perfect, Patrick doesn't
have to be perfect, Spags.
Speaker 10 (24:44):
Doesn't have to be perfect.
Speaker 18 (24:45):
We need more of that physical element that Philadelphia obviously has.
Speaker 10 (24:49):
And can rely on.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
We likened it to Mahomes. You know, he took a
hit last night literally figuratively with his legacy. But it's
like when got knocked out by Buster. Yeah, when Ronda
Rowsey got knocked out all of a sudden, that era
of invincibility. Now, we saw a little bit of that
in the Tampa loss in the Super Bowl, but this
is one of those where, hey, Mahomes with the ball
(25:12):
game on the line, you know that's who you want.
That's two blowout losses in the super Bowl on his resume.
How big of a hit do you think it that
he took last night?
Speaker 10 (25:24):
Knowing Patrick, knowing the people who know Patrick like they do.
I don't think.
Speaker 18 (25:29):
I don't think it'll be something where you know, like
when you're talking about like a rond of Rowsey type
situation where you know a fighter is on the decline
or clearly they just don't have it anymore.
Speaker 10 (25:39):
Patrick still has it. But the cool, the cool thing
about this is that this is.
Speaker 18 (25:43):
A team game and clearly he can't get it done
just all on his own. Twice now when he's gotten
blown out in the super Bowl and gotten beat up
in the super Bowl, it's been because Dolphins.
Speaker 10 (25:52):
The line has just caved in. This caves are like
unrelenting pressure.
Speaker 18 (25:56):
Think about Philadelphia last year, how they exited the playoffs
and how you're looking at Jalen Hurts last year and
you're sitting there going this team's done this team's not.
Speaker 10 (26:04):
They're not.
Speaker 18 (26:04):
They're not the powerhouse in nantacy. And in one year
with the way in which they were able to fortify
the offensive line, get sa Quon Barkley and a defense
and change over the defensive side of the ball with
Vic Fangio, and next thing you know, Jalen Carter's becoming.
Speaker 10 (26:16):
An absolute freak.
Speaker 18 (26:18):
And they get two rookies like Quinnon Mitchell and Cooper Dezine,
and now they're looking like a team like people are going, no,
they're never gonna lose again. They're never gonna lose again.
You'll they'll be able to fix this. But Brett has
to go to work and it can't just be about
Andy's genius in Patrick's you know, ability to always pull
it out in the end, which we've all become kind
(26:39):
of drunk with. We've all become like this intoxicated by
because the guy is a once in a generation player.
But what he's showing you is that this is still
the ultimate team game. And when you brought up against
a team that's evenly matched or even better than you physically,
all the schemes and plague falls and shovel passes and
they'll look passes in the world ain't gonna work because
football is still like what Phil Parcels and Belichick and
(27:01):
every other old school coach talks about. It's about imposing
your will in another person. And Philly imposed their will
on Kannessey last night to the point where it looked
like eighty five Bears versus New England Patriots in that
same stadium.
Speaker 10 (27:15):
It was like, you have no shots. You can't even
move the fall. I mean, it was unbelievable.
Speaker 18 (27:21):
I was, I was in all I mean, my jaw
was hitting the floor, sitting there doing They can't they
can't do anything. That is not how any of us
thought that would happen, besides maybe the people in Philadelphia
in that locker room Lewis.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
They poured the gatorade with three minutes left. That has
to be about the earliest gatorade poll. If that was
a fight a heavyweight, they would have stopped that they
no doubt, they would have stopped hitting the third quarter
and they would have.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Said, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Most curious player decision in the off season with anybody,
whether it's Russell Wilson or Sam Darnold or Aaron Rodgers,
who or what are you most curious about in the offseason.
Speaker 18 (28:02):
I'm curious about really, you know about, let's see, where
does Miles Garrett end up and does Cleveland actually let
him go?
Speaker 10 (28:11):
Do they actually say you know?
Speaker 18 (28:12):
Because you know, obviously Andrew Berry has said that he's
not a guy who I want to trade. I'm not
gonna trade him. But where does he go? And does
he Is he a missing piece for a team? Is
he a missing piece for a team like Detroit?
Speaker 10 (28:23):
Is he a team? Is he a guy who like
a team like Kansas City?
Speaker 18 (28:26):
Quite honestly, they need a guy like that, they need
a closer like that. Where does he wind up going?
Because outside a quarterback Remiam pass rushers who are like
on the verge of doing historic things rushing the past
or don't hit the market, they usually don't get moved.
Speaker 10 (28:42):
And so Miles is.
Speaker 18 (28:43):
Going to be one of the biggest stories of the
all season and the only reason why it's probably not
bigger is because of the fact that he plays for
Cleveland right now and nobody cares about Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Okay, but you worked in the front office of two
NFL teams. Yeah, if you worked in the Browns front office,
you're the GM and Miles Garrett says, he wants to
be traded knowing what you need for your team, and
but you don't want to be the guy who traded
him away.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
What would you do with that situation?
Speaker 18 (29:08):
That situation has so many other tentacles, because you know,
I just get to feeling Andrew Berry's not doing anything
in a vacuum and he's being told what to do.
But I would strongly suggest to the people who ultimately
make that decision, if it wasn't just all mine on
my own, I would say, hey, look, we need to
consider moving him, okay, because we need a lot, we
need help. And as much as that sucks, because he's
(29:31):
one of the greatest players in the history of this franchise,
we have to move him. And it's why, honest I
would I would then want to have another conversation Dan,
which is how we gotten to the point where a
guy who we drafted and we developed here in house,
who is beloved in Cleveland all of our fan base
can't blame that.
Speaker 10 (29:46):
They don't blame him. They would say they would want
out too.
Speaker 18 (29:48):
How have we How have we gotten to the point
where our best players don't want to stay here anymore?
Speaker 10 (29:53):
Like that's it.
Speaker 18 (29:54):
That's an even bigger issue for them that I don't know.
Maybe Jimmy has them, wants to have those conversations. Maybe
he doesn't, but he needs because if he doesn't, good
luck getting a new stadium. Good luck getting you know,
good luck getting that fan based to rally behind you
when you're alienating a guy who was truly, you know,
one of the best pass rushers that this game has
ever seen.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Safe travels back. Thanks for joining us the entire season.
Always appreciate your insights.
Speaker 10 (30:18):
Of course, man, you bet anytime.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
That's Lewis Riddick of the Mothership and he was on
the call with Chris Fowler Dan Orlovsky for the fans
in Australia. In New Zealand, I don't know why they
need a separate feed for that, Like, couldn't they just
take Tom Brady and Kevin Burkhart. I don't know how
that works unless so does ESPN have the feed to
(30:44):
New Zealand In Australia. Therefore they hire their own announcers
for this that they can't take the Fox broadcast or
they don't want to.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
I guess, yes, PAULI.
Speaker 7 (30:58):
Think about your question. Is there any chance that brought
podcast is not dumb down but more palatable for an
international audience that maybe doesn't know football as well. I
can't think of any other reason.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
No, those guys are all hardcore. I can't I mat
Orlowski and Lewis with Fowler. That has to be something
contractual with ESPN having the rights to it, therefore they
have to But I guess they're still taking Fox's broadcast
the coverage of the game, but they're the ones that
doing the play by play in the color.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
James in Virginia, James, welcome back, best and worst of
the weekend.
Speaker 19 (31:38):
Oh thanks for taking my call, brother Havy Monday Dvdane,
Salute the Commanders man, and what a crazy ending to
the NFL season. I felt like it was the nineteen
nineties again, man watching the blowout. Couldn't believe what I
was watching. I think we can put to bed who
is the fifth best quarterback and he might even be
the second best quarterback in the NFL with Mahomes, Burrow, Jackson,
(32:00):
Allen Jalen Hurks has completely surprised me this year his
ability to throw the ball down the field, especially in
key moments of the football game. His calmness has definitely,
in my opinion, elevated him into the top five quarterbacks
in the NFL. And you know, I'm a Jayden guy
all the way. But what a game last night by
(32:20):
Jalen hurt I think the biggest stat that blew me
away last night after the game that I saw was
he's only the second quarterback in NFL history in the
Super Bowl that has two passing plus touchdowns, a rushing
TD and fifty plus yards. And I guess the thing
that blew me away the most, look he shared that
with Joe Montana. And when you're in a category with
Joe Montana, you're definitely in the upper echelon. I can't
(32:43):
believe I'm talking this good about Philly Man. But what
a performance last night.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Okay, would you James, would you rather have Jalen Hurts
or Jaden Daniels?
Speaker 19 (32:52):
Oh No, I got a ride with five Man. You know, fine,
Washington have been waiting so long for a guy like
five Man and Jayden Fi it's certainly alive and I
can't wait to Washington better go after Garrett Man, because
I think one thing is true last night that you saw.
If you do not invest in your offense and defensive line.
You really, man, the game changes for you, and Philly's
(33:13):
offense and defensive line control that game NonStop in front
of Batman. So definitely got to focus on those two
key points man, but got a ride with five man
Jam and five for sure.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
All right, thank you, James. We'll take a break. Last
call for phone calls, what we learn, what's in store tomorrow?
Also this day in sports history.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Right after this, be sure to catch the live edition
of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern
six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
A couple more phone calls before we close up shop
on this Monday. Big Eagles fan actor Kevin Bacon will
join us tomorrow. Stat of the Day brought to you
by Panini America, the official trading cards of The Dan
Patrick Show. How about this day in sports history, Pauline,
what do you have for us?
Speaker 7 (34:01):
Just a couple for you? Nineteen twenty Major League Baseball
outlaw pitches that involved tampering with the ball. Before that,
you could do spitballs, you could cut it, you could
do whatever, shine balls. They called it all different things.
And the umpire has had no authority to throw it
out of the game. And let's see, Oh, nineteen sixty one,
the AFL's Los Angeles franchise was transferred to San Diego.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Nineteen sixty nine, Pete Marriage had sixty nine points. LSU
lost to Tulane one oh one to ninety four. Wasn't
it last week where we had Maravich scoring forty seven
points in the second half of a game against Alabama.
I think he had sixty nine points. Twice without a
(34:44):
three point shot, he would have had seventy five points
probably at least, because that's mind boggling. Sixty nine points.
He had forty seven in the second half the game
against Alabama. Alrighty, final results of the poll question there,
see Noel Connor.
Speaker 8 (35:05):
That that's kind of like, I'm just going to take
care of this myself kind of moment real quick. Okay,
let's see who had the worst night, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey,
and Taylor Swift, Tom Brady the broadcaster, we have Fox
Graphics team, We've got a million options for you here.
Forty six percent of that vote as Patrick Mahomes, followed
by Nick Wright, who was then just ahead of Drake.
Speaker 20 (35:26):
Okay, so Drake went to New Zealand or Australia. Yeah,
I think he's I think he's somewhere old. I mean
he was literally figuratively down under like I was on
tour Andrew and Grand Rapids. Hi, Andrew, it's on your
mind today?
Speaker 21 (35:44):
Hey guys, five to eleven one eighty. Just wanted to
put my two cents in. I thought the halftime show
was actually pretty poor. It was a good performance for
like a concert if you're going to Kendrick. I mean,
I'm a Kendrick fan, but I thought it was very
played down for as greater performances as we've had on
(36:05):
Super Bowls. And I couldn't help but think with Drake's
catalog of music, he had to have been watching that going. Man,
I would have done a better show than Kado. Just
want to know what you guys thought on that. I
didn't think it was as big a hit as I think.
That song's a little a little played out of late,
So let me know what you guys think.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Yeah, I thought it was played for Kendrick Lamar's fan base.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
It wasn't played for a large crowd that was that
was like focused and I'm surprised the NFL let him
do it that way. But he was definitely performing that
for his fan base, for his crowd. He wasn't playing,
you know, nationally. I don't think he even cared about that.
(36:48):
It was for Los Angeles and it was you know,
for his fan base. Yeah, yeah, like right.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
I get the sense that Kendrick Lamar was like doing it.
Speaker 8 (36:58):
It was more important to in the culture right and
doing it for the culture rather than mass appeal by
people who buy and large. If you don't already know
him and you're not already a fan, chances are he's
not gonna win you over that night anyway. So I
can he can quadruple down on everything that has already
made him great, and the people that love him are
(37:18):
gonna love him even.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
More for it. Yes, Yes, that he stayed true.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
He was him one hundred percent. Yeah, he didn't cave
in and hey, we want you to play these songs.
He was like, I'm gonna play my songs. But when
Serena came out, that was where I went.
Speaker 9 (37:36):
Damn.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
He not putting his feud to bed anytime soon with
Drake because Drake dated Serena. You imagine that phone call,
Kendrick calling up Serena. Hey girl, you want to get
back at Drake? Well, yeah, how all right, I'm gonna
have you come on during a song I'm in And
(37:59):
it was like eight seconds where she's on TV and
it happens so quickly. It's like, wait, is that Stree
That looked like Sereno Walls? But uh, I respect the
fact that he's on and who he was playing to
and he was not going to change.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
I respect it. It wasn't for me, but I I
like the performance.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Music not for me, but I do respect the people
who I admire who love music, no music, so I
respect their opinions of it and what he does and
how he does it. And I like a good feud,
but I don't even know if it's a feud anymore.
It feels like it's really it was like the Eagles
against the Chiefs. Kendrick was the Eagles last night? Yes, yes, Marv, Yeah,
(38:47):
that was kind of like bullying last night.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
It was like we won the fight.
Speaker 22 (38:50):
I got a chain that's a lowercase A, which means
a minor in the entire state thing. I like most people,
they probably don't know kids like my wife, she doesn't
know that many kind Lamar songs. But she was ready
for not like us.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
She's like, this isn't nice to Drake Todd in South
Carolina Hide Todd DP hey two to.
Speaker 5 (39:10):
Ten actually lived in Western Australia for four years and
Perth and uh there's pretty much only one cable company
and it's heavily, heavily regulated. So my guess is ESPN
probably has the rights to spream exclusively in the country
in New Zealand, so instead of bringing the flocks people over,
(39:31):
they have to bring their own ESPN people over.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Okay, well, thank you Todd.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
It's uh I think it's another uh money resource there, Todd.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Is that what you're hearing.
Speaker 15 (39:43):
Yeah, that's what it sounds like they have.
Speaker 9 (39:44):
They have.
Speaker 15 (39:44):
There's just another tentacle and they can just kind of
go in that direction and you can make some more
money that way.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
Okay, what a shocker the NFL would come up with
another way of making more money. Sure, all right, thanks
for the phone calls, emails, tweets, the all around support
on the program.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Let's go around room. If we look, the.
Speaker 8 (40:02):
NFL has done such a good job of making money
that their biggest event of the year. There's a massive
part of the population, including football fans, who can't wait
for the commercials. That's how good they are at making
money that we're brainwashing to thinking, I can't.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
Wait for the commercial.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
Let's see what Coca Cola does this year. Were there
was there a commercial that stood out to anybody last night?
Marvin the Pringles commercial with James Harden. I like that, Yeah, yeah,
any other one that stood out. There's a weird one
where seal was a seal.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Yeah, that was that was upsetting. That was creepy.
Speaker 14 (40:36):
Great.
Speaker 8 (40:37):
There was another one too, where somebody was doing something
with their tongue that was very unsettling.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
I did not care for either of those. Yeah, yep, yep, yep, yeah, Pully.
Speaker 7 (40:45):
I think the old school fans Meg Ryan, Billy Crystal
Helmets fun cue right one.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
Yeah, Todd, What did you learn today?
Speaker 7 (40:53):
Bill Coward doesn't like the tush push.
Speaker 15 (40:55):
It's not a strategical play.
Speaker 12 (40:56):
It's rugby.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
If they take away the player be huh, the quarterback,
then I think they're gonna at keep it in the game,
because then it would just be a quarterback sneak.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
Seaton, What about you? What did you learn today? It
could be some changes coming in the off season. Marvin,
what did you learn? You wanted the chief to run more?
Speaker 19 (41:14):
I did?
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Wait, it sounded what's wrong with my voice? Paulie? What
did you learn today?
Speaker 7 (41:25):
Nick Wright may join us tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Yeah, I don't know. I'm I don't know about that. Right,
he's a little stung. I would imagine Fritzy. What did
I learn?
Speaker 15 (41:38):
Lewis rid access for the first time since Patrick Mahomes
became a star of the Chiefs looked like an overwhelmed
inferior team.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
What we learned brought to you by Keeper's Heart.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
New and unique style of whiskey combines the best of
Irish and American whiskies, creating a smooth character of Irish
whiskey and the bold flavors of American whiskies. If you're
a whiskey fan, you gotta try it. Drink responsibly. Thanks
for joining us, Thanks for the phone calls, the tweets, emails,
all around support.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
We'll try to do better tomorrow. Have a great day, everybody,
