Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's our two on this Tuesday. Hall of Famer Steve
Young will join us. Coming up, come up with a
new pole question. Super Bowl gets record viewing numbers one
hundred twenty six million. It feels like it goes up
every year. I'm thinking back maybe the last time that
I worked with NBC and I was handing out this
(00:26):
Super Bowl trophy, I think it was one hundred ten million.
So it seems like it goes up every single year.
I don't know if they've ever had a bad Super
Bowl number. I don't know the last time it was
under one hundred million. And this goes back to that
there was Chiefs fatigue, but it didn't show up unless
you tuned in because you wanted to see them lose.
(00:48):
That's the only thing that I could factor in here,
because the Eagles aren't a lovable National Store storyline. Although
I think if you're looking at Saquon Barkley season and
maybe Jalen hurts that that's a reason for you to go,
all right, I want to see if they can win
a Super Bowl here sake one Barkley. Considering what happened
in the off season Giants kicking to the curb. We've
(01:10):
devalued the running back. He has two thousand yards. You
can make an argument he was the most valuable player
on the Eagles and or in the league itself. But
the whole Chief's fatigue. But watching because your chief dout
is interesting. When's the last time it was under one
hundred million fans for the Super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (01:31):
PAULI, I've got the ratings and numbers for every year
in the past fifty if from twenty eleven to twenty seventeen,
it always was about one hundred and eleven million viewers.
For whatever reason, twenty eighteen went down to one oh three,
twenty nineteen down to ninety eight million, twenty twenty one
(01:51):
down to ninety five million. That's the lowest in the
past fifteen years. Then in the past's recovered big time.
Last year was one hundred and four teen million two
years ago. I sorry, it was one hundred and fourteen million.
Last year was one hundred and twenty million. This year
was rounding up one hundred and twenty seven million. I
don't remember why the dip would be four years ago.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
When was the last time I handed out the trophy?
I don't know if there was like a bump in
those watching well post game boost we're looking for. Yeah,
so this would have been Philadelphia, New England twenty eighteen.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Does that sound right?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I got that as one hundred and four million, all right,
no problems, okay. Then the big drop was after you laughed?
Of course, what went down to ninety eight million?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Okay? One of the reasons. I don't know who was
handing out the trophy then, But it makes you feel
better though, it does it does? I mean figure there'd
be a little bit of a spike there if I'm
handing out the trophy. Apparently not as much as I thought.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
ALRIGHTY eight seven seven three DP show email address Dpadanpatrick
dot com, Twitter handle it tp show Seaton whole question
from hour one and what do we going to go
with an hour two?
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Well, I find our one to be curious. Eagles chief
super Bowl was memorable for it? Right now it's split
down the middle between the Eagles defensive dominance and it
not being memorable at all.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
I wonder why no one is thinking about the Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I don't know. Maybe there's Chiefs fatigue in our pole questions.
He's fatigue. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Maybe what's the pole question for hour two? I got
another random one here from Todd with no kids? How
would you feel about having to go to Disney World
after winning a title?
Speaker 6 (03:33):
Interesting one.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
I'd be very excited about it. I love Mickey and
the rides, the tradition, so I'll make the best of it.
Will you feign enthusiasm and would but kind of dread it?
Or it's the lamest place on earth?
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Wow?
Speaker 7 (03:49):
Dang?
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Jalen Hurts is engaged. He doesn't have kids, I don't think, but.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah, you know, going there by yourself, well, he wouldn't
be by himself, he'd be people. It's not like he's
just wandering around going you know where's It's a small world.
I wanna ride on that ride, yes, Todd.
Speaker 8 (04:06):
I just remember Nancy Karradan being in that parade.
Speaker 9 (04:09):
See her.
Speaker 8 (04:10):
You can hear her and read her lips saying like,
how lame this is?
Speaker 6 (04:13):
Can I get out of here?
Speaker 4 (04:15):
You're right? I forgot all about that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
That uh, that's what people are reading lips. They're got Nancy.
We know what you're saying there.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Yes, Paul, I.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Think going to Disney World without kids sounds refreshing twenty
two dollars, chicken fingers, all the kids freaking out.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
It's it could get messy down there. It's just the
kids melt I mean it's hot. There's lines.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
I think the idea I've seen couples before where they're
bringing their kids to Disney World because I have my
broadcasting school in Orlando. So I'll get on a plane
and you got everybody is in a great mood. Everybody
is happy. This is wonderful. And then you see the
return flight where mom and dad are miserable, kids are
(04:58):
like crying, You're broke from all the money that you spend.
It's like until the next time we do this, Yeah,
pulling at.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Least in Vegas, you have a chance to come out ahead.
A chance, a low chance, but a chance.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Eight seven seven three DP show yes, Marvin.
Speaker 10 (05:18):
Seeing the parents argue at one another like I'm ready
to go. Yeah, how much we paid and them yelling
at the kids and my wife and I we went
there when I was at the Mothership. The discounts were amazing,
So you go there, right, Yeah, So we would play
a game, Hey, let's take a drink every time you
see a meltdown.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
No matter who it is.
Speaker 10 (05:37):
Dang, you see a meltdown, you just take a drink.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
You had to be drunk.
Speaker 10 (05:44):
I had Shirley Temple, But how he use the bathroom?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Now? Okay, By the way, Bridget Jones is back for
a final chapter. Bridget Jones Matt about the boy renee
Zelwigger stars in the Peacock original film, streaming February thirteenth.
I see any of the other Bridget Jones, but I
don't know if I have to see this one or
do I have to Can I see this one or
(06:07):
do I have to go back to the original there
with Hugh Grant.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Yes, Bridget Jones Diary two thousand and one, Bridget Jones
The Edge of Reality two thousand and four, Bridge Jones
Baby twenty sixteen, and now this one.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
I give him credit.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Get a what five or six of these movies out
of this? I mean, it's kind of the I don't know,
the what if mission impossible, the rom coms of Mission impossible,
Like there's five of them, and I think we need
to talk to Tom Cruise and say Tom, let's stop
with impossible. It is possible, Mission is really likely. Did
(06:49):
you see we talked about Denzel Washington and the equalizer
that he would wear black clothes because he was so heavy.
Now he's gotten into religion and I think he's going
to be a minister. And he says that he weighs
one eighty. He was up to two fifty, so he's
lost a lot of weight recently. Looks great, but he's
(07:10):
not don't have to wear the If there's an equalizer
for then it's gonna be a whole new Denzel Washington.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah, Paul, Yeah, I'm looking at a picture. You're right.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
He looks way thinn her. The next equalizer should be
brought to you by Ozepic.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Well, I don't want to accuse him of anything. No,
we don't know that.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Maybe it's just good living. He doesn't drink anymore. Yeah, yeah,
so when he grabs that watch though, you're in trouble.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Andy in Rhode Island, Hi, Andy, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Good morning?
Speaker 11 (07:40):
Dan, Dennis's going now, Marvin Prissy, Hey, guys, I was
taken down by the flu, but I picked myself back
up and I'm back again.
Speaker 12 (07:49):
And then I.
Speaker 11 (07:50):
Want to call him because I feel like there's a
lot of haters towards Pandora and I can't. I'm not
hand for that because with the effort that she put in,
I feel that a lot of people should appreciate it
because I don't see anyone else throwing their name and
a ringer and guess what, I'm gonna up up the
auntie and I'm gonna also be sent in mind. And
I hope that the critics card come hard for me
because I'm here for it. And you know what, if
(08:12):
you if you love the show that that much, you
should appreciate what everybody tries to put in because there's
a lot of effort that goes into the show and
for and honestly, the way I look at it, I'm
here for it.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Thank you, Thank you, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I think we got the message there that you think
Pandora's stat of the Day song sounded good, Marvin. For
those who weren't with us last hour, Pandora sent in
a stat of the Day song, stat.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Of the day, stat of the day. We love your
status day stat of the Day.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Okay, that's just a little little taste of Pandora. It
sounds almost burlesque like, like there might be some some
tassels involved.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Now that's what makes us so wonderful. Thank you, Tom.
She's putting clothes on. Yes, yes, Marvin, I.
Speaker 10 (09:04):
Thought it was kind of Lilith Fairish, Lilith Fair.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (09:08):
She's about to open up for the Indigo Girls.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
For the day's today.
Speaker 12 (09:21):
She has.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
J Lama, Jim and Iowa Hi Jim. What's on your
mind today?
Speaker 9 (09:29):
Hey Dan, first time, long time. So I think the
Super Bowl will be the memorable for Chief Snowshell and
Eagle's dominance. But the best line was my brother, a
big Bear stand in Chicago about two thirds to the
Super Bowl, texted me and said, this is what Mahomes
would be playing like if he was drafted by the Bears.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
That is true. That is true. We've talked about that.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Where you go, who's your coach, continuity, consistency with ownership,
your coordinators, all of that, all of that matters with
your success. You can be a good quarterback on a
bad team and you know, trying to lift up a team.
Did you see where Cam Newton he was on a
(10:14):
podcast and he talked about when he first got drafted
by Carolina. He said, you know I got drafted number one.
I was going to a bad team or my you know,
he was basically talking about who was on his team
at the time.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
And I looked at the roster.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
If you look, he had Steve Smith on there, greg
Olsen was on there. But I think Cam's quote is,
you know, kind of like I went to a bad team.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
They had a bad record.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I think the players that he had on that team
that wasn't a bad team. That's why Caleb should have
been better. Bear should have been better. They won seven
games the previous year. It's not like they're Tennessee and
you know what with Tennessee and you're starting to hear
this now. This was brought up, I don't know, probably
six weeks ago, maybe by a guest on the show,
(11:02):
and I'm trying to remember who it was. Might have
been Diana Russini who talked about, you know, maybe if
the Jets don't bring Aaron Rodgers back, he has a
place in Nashville, maybe he would want to play for
the Tennessee Titans. And if that's the case, that feels like, hey,
I still want to prove I can play. You're not
going to be playing in you know, playoff games, and
(11:22):
you're going to a team that has no identity whatsoever.
But if you're Aaron Rodgers, do you want to do
you have a chip on your shoulder that you want
to play in showpie? Because here are the Jets. They're
desperate for a quarterback. I think we can all agree
on that, but they're not desperate enough to bring Aaron
Rodgers back, which is the right decision. The question is
(11:44):
how many teams would be interested in bringing in Aaron
Rodgers for one year? If I'm Tennessee, Will Levis is
not the answer at least doesn't appear to be. Do
you want to bring in Aaron Rodgers for a one year?
And I think that would be the interesting part of
are you going to draft Travis Hunter? Are you going
to trade down? You better bolster your offensive line if
(12:07):
you're considering bringing in Aaron Rodgers because he'll be out
of football by you know, week five. But I mean
you talk about it's one thing to be bad and
be boring or irrelevant. You know, there are teams that
aren't good, but they're still interesting. If I if you're
going to draft somebody, draft Travis Hunter. Now I'm going
(12:29):
to watch if he's going to be a two way
player and you know he might be an All Pro
at defensive back.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
I think the two way player.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I think that he's such a great athlete in college,
you could get away with just being a great athlete.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
At wide receiver.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
In the NFL, you're going to have to run routes,
and we've had people who are saying defensive back plug
and play. You know, wide receiver might take him a
little while to understand the nuances of He'll have the talent,
but to understand the nuances, yes, Ton.
Speaker 8 (12:58):
Assuming he has a few decent options for next season,
is there really any scenario, knowing his ego and wanting attention,
that Aaron Rodgers would retire and let things end the
way they did last year. That'd be the final note
of his career.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
I have no idea.
Speaker 8 (13:11):
We have a team saying no, thank you, we don't
want He's not even saying no to them. They're getting
ahead of it and saying you're not back with us.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I don't know what his mindset is until he comes
on the show or he's on McAfee, and you know,
Pat presses him on how much do you want to play?
Where do you want to play? Can you play? How
important is playing and going out on top? I don't
even know what that means when they say going out
on top. The only way to go out on top
is when you win a Super Bowl, because anything other
(13:38):
than that is gosh, that's a disappointment. Are we lost
in the second round or we didn't make the play?
I mean, then you're chasing your tail. That doesn't make
any sense. But do I think Aaron I think the
Jets made the right decision not bringing him back. I
wouldn't do that if I'm Aaron Glenn. I don't want
to walk into that. I don't want to be held hostage.
I'm not interested in that at all. And he needs
(14:01):
to move forward New GM. Let's go, let's do it
my way. I don't want Aaron Rodgers left over there.
But can I see him playing in Tennessee? Yeah, I guess,
I guess. All right, let me take a break. Steve
Young will join us coming up next. We get to
more phone calls as well, and Kevin Bacon, the Big Actor,
(14:23):

Speaker 2 (15:40):
We've enjoyed the insights of Steve Young, one of the
smartest football minds that I know, Hall of Famer, three
times Super Bowl champ. Wanted to tap in one more
time before we said goodbye to this season. Steve kind
enough to join us once again. What will you take
away from this Super Bowl? If I said there's one
memory ten years now, you're going to think about what
(16:02):
with this Super Bowl?
Speaker 15 (16:04):
Well, there's the three peat, the chance to be a
three p which we tried in the late eighties and
the early nineties failed. And to see the emotional bankruptcy
that the Chiefs showed up with, especially offensively, with that
on the line, with like history on the line, it
kind of feels like the Patriots when they played the
Giants in two thousand and eight when they had the
(16:24):
undefeated season. You're like, you're gonna go down as the
greatest team, the greatest team that ever played. Possibly you
could just you can make that argument, and to come
out and emotionally lay it so flat was just shocking.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
I didn't understand the play calling here.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
You of course played the position a quarterback, but it
felt like they were doing the same thing and didn't
make any adjustments.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
What adjustments should they have made?
Speaker 15 (16:49):
Well, I think the problem was is that I'm sure
Andy was coach readers, probably scratching his heads like wait
a second, like I'm calling some plays here and like
to have no option.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
And then Patrick essentially, you know, you go down early.
Speaker 15 (17:04):
The Chiefs have done that before, go down ten nothing,
It's like, okay, we'll hang around, everything will be fine.
Then Patrick gives up fourteen points like that, and that's
where it all turned.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
And so like, are those.
Speaker 15 (17:14):
First three or four drives, Yeah, you know I should
play you know three and out come up with something
better than that. Everyone should take you know, Andy should
take some of that blame. Everyone should take the blame.
It just felt like, emotionally, when you have four guys
in the game today. We talked about this every time
we get on about how games change, the defense is
really put under the gun. They can't rule the they
(17:34):
can't rule like they used to. And so the low
four guys, not five or six, no blitz I don't
think it blitzed.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
One time in forty two snaps.
Speaker 15 (17:43):
There's just there was nothing the threat and other than
four guys just pounding you in the submission, four guys
in the NFL today, defensive line should not be able
at any circumstance to put you in that kind of
a bind. And so to me, that's just an emotional
readiness to go fight, and that they didn't have obviously
the offensive line, and then obviously play calling everything, everything
(18:04):
kind of just point Haywire.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
I thought that they would at least try to run.
Philadelphia was using Saquon Barkley. They weren't getting yards, but
he had twenty five carries.
Speaker 15 (18:14):
You look back and when you want to establish something,
especially when you can't block four guys. Yeah, I mean
that's pretty obvious Dan that they the first three series
got nothing, and you know, I think they were trying
to In my mind, I think that they felt like
the Eagles were going to score thirty and so that
you got to keep up and wanted to start that way.
(18:34):
I can't really go against especially play call Andy Reid,
like he's always got something in his pocket.
Speaker 7 (18:40):
He's always got some cool.
Speaker 15 (18:41):
Play when it really matters, and so you know, to
open the game and kind of fall flat on your
face is super unusual.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Is this just a bad night or is there something
maybe more systemic to this?
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Moving forward?
Speaker 7 (18:55):
Well, that defense is ready to play.
Speaker 15 (18:58):
That defense is ready to you know, I think they
came and there's four or five series they're just like, look,
give us some help. And I think that for whatever reason,
I don't, I how can it be systemic? You got
one of the great innovative play callers in the history
of the game, you got one of the great quarterbacks
in the game. You're gonna have to read tools that
people could, you know, continue to age. But there's no
(19:18):
reason to think that what we saw at.
Speaker 7 (19:21):
Super Bowl Sunday was even close to anything.
Speaker 15 (19:23):
They don't want to ever do again, Like, please tell
me you're gonna wash your hands and move on, because
that was that was not that was terrible.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
And I guess that we can kind of tamp down
the mahomes Is on Tom Brady's heels, his greatest quarterback
of all time.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
Yeah, that would have been.
Speaker 15 (19:41):
Yeah, the talk would have been super hot, and probably
for good reason, because he's got.
Speaker 7 (19:45):
Four already headed for who knows how many.
Speaker 15 (19:48):
You still got to figure that the AFC, with the
with the weapons that they have at quarterback that I
said a few years ago, they're going to trade Joe Burrow,
Josh Allen and he are going to trade super Bowls
for the next ten years.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
So it's just been Patrick.
Speaker 15 (20:01):
But until for the Nose, you got to figure that
Patrick's gonna be in the mix.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Talking to Steve Young, the three times Super Bowl champ,
what's it like to go to the line of scrimmage
and maybe you didn't feel this, but go to line
of scrimmage knowing they're coming after you, and they're getting
there a whole lot more often and quicker than you
thought they were going to.
Speaker 15 (20:21):
But see the theme. Patrick has dealt with this before.
I mean, he's he's the guy that has an answer.
He's mature to a point where he doesn't have to
look far downfield. It felt like he would. He just
he was looking for something great or amazing or super
you know, like the Superman stuff of.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
His early days.
Speaker 15 (20:38):
Would really just drop it off, get it out, blitz coverage,
you know, I mean.
Speaker 7 (20:43):
Get drop off the outlet.
Speaker 15 (20:45):
Like just like it felt like. And then also they
kept getting in third and long jams every time he
like it was third and eighteen third, and like he
can't play ball that way.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
But Brady talked about his footwork. He kept talking about
how Patrick was uncomfortable, he kept looking at his footwork
in the pocket.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
I agree with it.
Speaker 15 (21:03):
I think that his response felt it felt like the
Bucks game the Super Bowl a few years ago, where
just look, we understand you're under siege. We get it,
but like, no, it doesn't have to go down that way.
Speaker 7 (21:17):
You get it.
Speaker 15 (21:17):
You have an answer. I mean, you're Patrick Mahomes. Come
up with an answer, and that just and then when
he did, that's when he threw the pick six. Then
he did, he got hit and through the next pick
and all of a sudden, it's twenty.
Speaker 7 (21:27):
Four or nothing.
Speaker 15 (21:28):
And uh, you've just you put yourself in the you
know a'll bide, you can't get out of it.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
And also you know this because well you're on the
winning side of it. But when things happen, the mistakes
metastasize because it's the Super Bowl, like there's no tomorrow.
Everything is so important, and you know, if you don't
score here and then the next time you press a
little bit more. And it felt like that that it
just that's why we used to have these blowouts in
(21:53):
the Super Bowl. It felt like, man, it's just on
a roll and you can't stop it.
Speaker 7 (21:58):
Stop it.
Speaker 15 (21:59):
Well, Championship football, unlike baseball, basketball, seven game series we've
talked about all the time, it happens in a series
and the really really sophisticated, mature teams recognize that and
don't waste a down in championship football. And the Chiefs
have gotten away with wasting a lot of downs in
CHAMPIONI football and.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
Still figured it out. You can make a case for
the Chiefs being zero to five in Super Bowls.
Speaker 15 (22:25):
It's like within a whisker two of the forty nine ers,
another one with the Eagles the first time. So like
they ride the rail and they've they've come through so
many times, and here, all of a sudden, it just
got away from them. They were down ten to nothing.
They probably felt like, oh, yeah, we've been here before,
we get this. We're a little bit of a season.
And that's when he threw the pick six.
Speaker 7 (22:45):
That's when things turned haywire.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
There wasn't social media when you guys were going for
a three peat, But was America tired of the forty
nine ers?
Speaker 15 (22:55):
Everyone gets like the Yankees back in the day or
the Patriots for those years. They people like to see
new people and uh, I don't know if that's actually
true thing, it's just a theme, but we've got to
I mean, we've got to recognize them. So, especially in
today's commoditized NFL, you can stay on top today. That's
a heck of a thing because everything about the game
(23:17):
is pressing you back to the median and you're getting
I'm gonna stay elite. So it's shocking in today's game
that people can stay on top. But it's what's amazing
is as much as they try to commoditize it all,
there's still ten teams that you're gonna see every year
because they're so well run. They have the quarterbacks that
matter today, the guys that can run. Even with jalend Hurts,
(23:39):
you know, his legs made the game. As with every
championship game into the future, will matter. You're the quarterbacks,
legs will decide the game. And it happened again.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
I want to ask you a couple other topics outside
of the super Bowl. Tennessee's on the clock and maybe
Travis Hunter, two way player with Colorado Dion, was on
the show on Ride Egg and he says he sees
him playing both offense and defense, and it feels like
he can be an all pro cornerback type talent. I
(24:09):
don't know if you he seems a little rough as
far as a wide receiver. You can get away with
that in college, I don't know if you can in
the NFL. Could you see Tennessee, Let's say they take
him using him both ways.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
You'd have to You can't. One thing's for sure.
Speaker 15 (24:24):
You can't play all pro corner without locking it down,
like you can't be messing around now. Dion did what
I think you could think Travis could do, which is, look,
I'm gonna be a shutdown all pro corner and I
can run some routes. I can come in and do
a couple of things. I can set up in the
slot and do some cool stuff. But not full time,
(24:44):
no way. I just the game is the two demanding
athletically that you know to put and he plays on
offense and he he plays on defense.
Speaker 7 (24:54):
It's just asking too much.
Speaker 15 (24:55):
And I don't think you can if he's going to
be a full time receiver and then go toy at corner.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
That doesn't work.
Speaker 15 (25:00):
You know, you know that you can't just go like,
oh yeah, they kept a couple of plays at corner.
You're gonna get yourself roasted.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Well, I would have him play majority of the plays
at corner and then sprinkle sprinkle in.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
Play off, play off pro corner.
Speaker 15 (25:13):
And yes, I think Dean did that with us with
the forty nine ers for the year, and then he
did it before, like line up, have some cool routes
and do it every once in a while, be fine,
red zone kind of cool stuff.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
You know.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
But how often did he say I want to play
offense when he was with you guys?
Speaker 7 (25:31):
Super Bowl? Hey man, super Bowl? Let me run?
Speaker 14 (25:38):
He did.
Speaker 7 (25:38):
He ran a couple of routes in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
So so he does he go to you and say
I want to play or does he go to coach?
Speaker 15 (25:48):
He lets you know one thing about Dion, he never
had He never wondered, never wondered when he felt what
he was thinking. Remember I told you the time Dan
when he's like he pulled me aside, said Steve, look,
I'm a marketing magician. There's two parade, you know. There's
the I'm gonna be the greatest work ethic you ever seen.
I'm gonna be ready for every game but then I
have this other parade that you're gonna watch. Get some
(26:10):
popcorn and enjoy it.
Speaker 7 (26:10):
And I really did.
Speaker 15 (26:11):
He was an amazing athlete, I mean, an amazing teammate.
He worked harder than everybody, and then he had this
other parade that he did that you know, he navigated.
Speaker 7 (26:20):
It was a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
What was it like to face him?
Speaker 7 (26:22):
Though he was one of the rare court I would
imagine playing Michael Jordan. There are athletes that defy your eye.
You know, you got to understand.
Speaker 15 (26:32):
My job is to be able to sense the speed
and athleticism of who I'm throwing the ball against so
that I know that the ball is safe. How many
times you've seen a football throwne that's just barely out
of someone's reach, you know, because you judge that and
that split second knowledge. He defied that to me. There
(26:52):
are ball the footballs that I threw that I'm like,
that's fine. And then he would not make him I'm like,
wait a second, my eyeball can't can't gauge him, So
I didn't. I tried not to mess with him as
much just because you couldn't make the judgment. And I
feel like there are athletes that you see something, see
them do something, and you go, wha wait, I gotta
see that again, because that didn't make my eye didn't
(27:15):
cover up.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
It didn't make sense to me, And Michael George's probably
that way as well.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
If you're Aaron Rodgers, what would you do.
Speaker 15 (27:24):
In today's game? Tom Brady said it best. The flats
are always open, the middle of the field is unpatrolled.
Speaker 7 (27:30):
And no one could hit me. And by the way,
I make fifty million dollars.
Speaker 15 (27:34):
So I think that Aaron, because he's healthy a full
year look at the mobility is down everything else. But
if you can get to a place that understands the position,
has innovative mindsets, there's more and more places like that
that you can get where you can take advantage of
the you know, the new football that's being played. If
(27:56):
he can get to one of those spots, I'm sure
he'd still loved go play some great football, especially with
one innovative minds. So I don't think I mean if
he might be forced to retire because no one will do,
you know, give him the job, But I think someone
I look, you can't go to a place where it's
not set up.
Speaker 7 (28:14):
For the quarterback. I mean, just flaught out, not even
gonna bother with it. He already he just did that
with the Jets. So you're not gonna do it again.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yeah, but I wonder who looks at their team and says,
that's what we need. He'll be the difference maker. The
Jets thought that they were getting that guy.
Speaker 15 (28:30):
I know, yeah, but then I look, the one thing
I do know is that he was he was taught
in a more sophisticated era, and Tom Brady, Peyton Manning,
they all took advantage of it. Matthew Stafford's taken advantage
of it. This is a game that's significantly easier. I look,
I like some old guy yell and I'll get off
my lawn. But like, the game is significantly less sophisticated
(28:54):
in that way, and so he can take advantage of it.
He knows that, and so if he can get to
a good spot, look I would I would go try
to take advantage, especially if you can still run around
a little bit.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
That's that's the game today.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Did you think about coming out of retirement at any
point after you've retired.
Speaker 15 (29:12):
You always think about it, Dan, I mean the thing
that you're you know, you're one of the best in
the world is something, and then you retire and you're
not You're not that anymore. And then you look out
in the future you're not even good at anything else.
And that's what's somming about it, right, You're at the
bottom of I always describe it as a bottom of
a bottom of a cliff. You've fallen in a bag
of bones and like you gotta it's a death. And
(29:35):
so if someone said you, hey, that thing that you're
great at, you're not gonna be great at things in
your whole life ever again, Like that that thing you're
great at, let's do it again.
Speaker 7 (29:44):
Like, yeah, let's do that again, because that's what I'm
best at.
Speaker 15 (29:48):
So it goes through your mind for years cause you think, oh,
you know, that was what I'm best at. But you
have to That was like Roger stob I gave me
the best advice ever, Just run, Steve. The game will
never leave you, but you gotta leave it.
Speaker 7 (30:01):
You got to run. And so emotionally more than anything.
Speaker 15 (30:04):
And I think that's probably why, because you know, the
next day when you find out you're not good at
even I'm not great.
Speaker 7 (30:10):
I'm not even good at anything else, You're like, dang
or do I get started?
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Did you have to retire? Did you have to?
Speaker 11 (30:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (30:18):
A little bit, I think that, you know, I didn't
know I could have gone to Denver.
Speaker 15 (30:24):
Mike, Shanaan and I had long conversations about it, and uh,
my wife still tells me that I was an idiot
not to do it.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
But yeah, so no, wait, how close were you playing
for the Broncos? Uh?
Speaker 7 (30:38):
Closer than the Dodgers?
Speaker 15 (30:40):
Okay, but right, but you know what I mean, Like
it was it was definitely something that could have happened.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Yeah, and your wife said that you should do it.
See that's the interesting part there that you know. Usually
it's the other way around, I know. So you would
have taken over for Ryan Greasy.
Speaker 7 (31:01):
Yeah, Mike ha heard ganging up on me.
Speaker 15 (31:03):
So yeah, but that's but that's the hard part again,
what your best at Steve keep doing it like, yeah,
you know that's what was unusual about him.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Thanks again for making time for us.
Speaker 7 (31:17):
Dan, you're the man.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Travel Thank you about it.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
That's a Steve Young Hall of Famer, always fun to
talk to, Always great conversations. Feels like those are the
conversations I would have with him if I wasn't on
the show. There's a certain guy, Reggie Miller, Charles you know,
there's John Smoltz. There's probably ten guys that I feel
like what we talk about is what we would talk
about if we weren't on the show. But Steve won
(31:45):
three Super Bowls and a two time NFL MVP. A
couple of phone calls Rodney in Hampton, not to be
confused with Rodney Hampton.
Speaker 12 (31:55):
Hey, Dan, two posts. Super Bowl perspective is number one.
Andy Reid is a good coach. Well, let's pump the
brakes from the greatest of all time. Case in point.
He's been embarrassed and blown out in two Super Bowls.
Tom Land, we lost three Super Bowls by a total
of eleven points. Furthermore, I don't know if you know
(32:19):
this or not, Dan, but the NFC East has the
most Super Bowl wins with fourteen. Second is the AFC
West with ten. For the Philadelphia fans out there, every
team in the East not only won multiple Super Bowls
(32:41):
before Philly got their first one, but they always have
and always will be the fourth best history success story
of the four teams in the East.
Speaker 9 (32:59):
Love your.
Speaker 15 (33:01):
Stata Day, Stata the j Stanta, the j oh damn
give us.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Status? All right, that's uh, that's Pandora from Las Vegas. Danny, Yes, uh.
Speaker 8 (33:21):
I'm starting to feel a little less excited about it.
Speaker 7 (33:23):
My initial thought was, yeah, no, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
It's starting to uhy like feathers tassels, headdress.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
Yeah, smoke a little little.
Speaker 7 (33:37):
Really and Oddley turned on by it, which is even
more than the.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
Thank you to all Right, we'll take a break. More
phone calls coming up after this.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
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 Heart Radio WAP.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
Is it too early to play the Aaron Rodgers game?
You want to beat the rush?
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Feels like there's a lot of people already with a
head start on this since the end of the season.
All right, where will Aaron Rodgers be next year at
the start of the NFL season?
Speaker 4 (34:20):
Where will he be?
Speaker 7 (34:23):
Todd?
Speaker 4 (34:23):
I'm going to start with you.
Speaker 7 (34:25):
The New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 6 (34:27):
I'm gonna take a chance.
Speaker 7 (34:28):
On out in a week division.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
So they're kicking Derek car to the curve. Would you
rather have Derek Carr or Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 7 (34:36):
I think Aaron.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Rodgers Seaton next year started the NFL season, Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
Will be where.
Speaker 6 (34:46):
Sitting in a studio hosting his own podcast.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (34:51):
I think he's probably getting more out of the reaction
he gets from Pat McAfee's show than he does on
the field. And I think that his personality. I think
there's a reason that he's still bringing up a stupid uh.
Speaker 6 (35:08):
It looks like the leagues immunized.
Speaker 5 (35:09):
Me because he gets exactly the kind of reaction that
he wants where people are like, oh my god, this
dude still bring He gets that attention.
Speaker 6 (35:17):
He's not getting that on the field anymore.
Speaker 10 (35:19):
Marvin the Tennessee Titans, I don't think he's going to
retire yet.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
Okay, and you buying into Tennessee Titans, huh, Paul.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
This team has a history of doing stuff like this
with older quarterbacks the Indianapolis Colts or Colts.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
I think the fact that he came back to the
Jets to talk to the Jets about maybe coming back
and playing another season tells you he wants to play it.
Because if he knew they were moving on or had
an idea, then you wouldn't have flown back to talk
to the Jets unless there was something contractually that you know,
when he gets dismissed cut, you know he's got certain
(36:03):
money coming to him. I don't know the intricacies of that,
but he did come back met with them, so it
feels like he was still fighting to play one more year.
I don't know if it's a case of if I
can't play for the Jets, then I don't want to
play anymore. I'll say Tennessee just because I don't think
Pittsburgh would make that mistake. But they're closer to winning something.
(36:28):
That's where is Aaron Rodgers better than Justin Fields or
Russell Wilson And yes, went healthy, Yes he is. But
could I see the Raiders. I just don't know if
Tom Brady is going to walk into that and go,
I'm going to start my tenure as an owner with
a guy who's going to be there for one year
(36:51):
and I'm going to have to, I don't know, deal
with those things. They I mean they want Shador Sanders.
I think the Giants are going to end up with
Shadoor sad He.
Speaker 8 (37:00):
Has to interesting our pick. Saints, Colts, Titans very winnable
divisions you've put him in. Maybe he can get them
over the hump, not necessarily anywhere near a super Bowl,
but to at least win that division, whether it be
the NFC South or AFC.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
South, anybody else, any other teams that we would throw
in their Paul.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
I've got the top ten odds. How about the San
Francisco forty nine ers now all party all the time.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Yeah, I think that they've reportedly already started negotiations.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
I think that's where they.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
I would say, look, you're not going to be the
highest paid quarterback because we want to make sure we
keep talent around you and this will ensure success for you.
Let's come up with a contract that makes sense for both.
Patrick Mahomes did this for the Kansas City Chiefs, So
the best quarterback in the game did this to the
Kansas City Chiefs, gave them what's turned out to be
(37:49):
a bargain. Brock Purdy needs to know where he stands
and what's important. Patrick Mahomes wanted to make sure that
he got super bowls. If Brock Purty wants to do that,
get back to a super Bowl, I think you got
to do a deal that's friendly to both, not a
team friendly but friendly to both.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
Yes, Paul, here's a couple more than in the top
ten of current odds, the la Rams. The reasoning that
I'm reading here is if the Matthew Stafford deal is
too big for two years, it doesn't feel like it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
No, but Sean McVay with him would be certainly interesting.
But you're moving on from Cooper Cup Who else is
in there?
Speaker 3 (38:27):
How about this one? I was thinking about this. How
about the Cleveland Browns? Their quarterback just tore his achilles again.
They're probably trying to get out of that contract. They're
not a bad roster, They're not a horrible roster.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
I don't know. But do you want to go from easy?
Speaker 11 (38:44):
No?
Speaker 4 (38:44):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
I wouldn't want to do that if you're Aaron both
like the Browns need to figure this out. Are you
hitting the reset button? And that's the case, then trade
Miles Garrett get out from underneath to Sean Watson's contract.
You know you're trying to get a new stage. This
doesn't help you get a new stadium. Be like, I
don't want to support that anybody else on that list.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
This is a week ago, but the Vikings were in
the top ten of the odds. Yeah, I don't see.
It doesn't seem like.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
It unless we're gonna, you know, complete the Brett Favre
trilogy here storyline.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 6 (39:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
That's the Aaron Rodgers game. Tomorrow, We're gonna play the
Brock Party game. Yes, Chuck in Vegas? Hi, Chuck, what's
on your mind?
Speaker 14 (39:34):
Ay?
Speaker 16 (39:35):
Good morning, DJ, Thanks for taking a call. I was
just curious after last year when Fritzy went from New
York to Florida to get to Vegas. This year, did
he go from New York to Vegas to get to
New Orleans?
Speaker 7 (39:48):
Todd?
Speaker 4 (39:49):
Your flight plan?
Speaker 8 (39:50):
I went from Hartford to Charlotte draw Out to New Orleans,
which is kind of normal going back a little question.
But but based on the time I was looking to leave,
I went to Chicago. O hair from New Orleans and
Chicago hair to Heartbreak. So yeah, I went to Chicago,
which is a little off roots, but that was the
best at least I can find for a mid afternoon departure.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
I think that you could work for Fox Sports, because
Seatan was talking about this during the Super Bowl, that
they're really good at emphasizing the last word.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
Oh hair cago o hair to Bradley upward? Didn't you
have your imitation seatan of those working for Fox? I
flew right past there, so yeah, yeah, yeah I did.
Wait is that your Aaron Andrews impersonation?
Speaker 6 (40:36):
He has the same accent.
Speaker 5 (40:37):
Oh he's the exact same accent as Kevin Burkhard, Tom
Brady and everybody else.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
If you listen to her podcast you can hear it.
So Todd, you got a future when this show ends.
There you go, you could work at Fox?
Speaker 7 (40:54):
Oh nice? Why not? Eh?
Speaker 8 (40:57):
Or I'll do the podcast with Caris and Aaron if
they're looking for a third.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
But we can do that.
Speaker 7 (41:02):
Is that asking too much?
Speaker 4 (41:03):
Probably?
Speaker 8 (41:03):
Probably ask you too much?
Speaker 4 (41:05):
Probably?
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Maybe Nick Wright would have you on. Nick Wright I
believe is joining us tomorrow on the troil is. Yeah,
he got roughed up yesterday afternoon on his show. He
got roughed up. It was fun. They had a marching band,
like all these things. They were preparing for Kansas City
to win three pete confetti, marching band, banners.
Speaker 4 (41:25):
All of that.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
So they just said, well, we spent all this money,
we got to go through with it. Kevin Bacon, great actor,
and big Eagles fan. He'll join us coming up in
about twenty five minutes from now. Two hours in the books,
one more to go on this Tuesday. Back after this
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's our two on this Tuesday. Hall of Famer Steve
Young will join us. Coming up, come up with a
new pole question. Super Bowl gets record viewing numbers one
hundred twenty six million. It feels like it goes up
every year. I'm thinking back maybe the last time that
I worked with NBC and I was handing out this
(00:26):
Super Bowl trophy, I think it was one hundred ten million.
So it seems like it goes up every single year.
I don't know if they've ever had a bad Super
Bowl number. I don't know the last time it was
under one hundred million. And this goes back to that
there was Chiefs fatigue, but it didn't show up unless
you tuned in because you wanted to see them lose.
(00:48):
That's the only thing that I could factor in here,
because the Eagles aren't a lovable National Store storyline. Although
I think if you're looking at Saquon Barkley season and
maybe Jalen hurts that that's a reason for you to go,
all right, I want to see if they can win
a Super Bowl here sake one Barkley. Considering what happened
in the off season Giants kicking to the curb. We've
(01:10):
devalued the running back. He has two thousand yards. You
can make an argument he was the most valuable player
on the Eagles and or in the league itself. But
the whole Chief's fatigue. But watching because your chief dout
is interesting. When's the last time it was under one
hundred million fans for the Super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (01:31):
PAULI, I've got the ratings and numbers for every year
in the past fifty if from twenty eleven to twenty seventeen,
it always was about one hundred and eleven million viewers.
For whatever reason, twenty eighteen went down to one oh three,
twenty nineteen down to ninety eight million, twenty twenty one
(01:51):
down to ninety five million. That's the lowest in the
past fifteen years. Then in the past's recovered big time.
Last year was one hundred and four teen million two
years ago. I sorry, it was one hundred and fourteen million.
Last year was one hundred and twenty million. This year
was rounding up one hundred and twenty seven million. I
don't remember why the dip would be four years ago.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
When was the last time I handed out the trophy?
I don't know if there was like a bump in
those watching well post game boost we're looking for. Yeah,
so this would have been Philadelphia, New England twenty eighteen.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Does that sound right?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I got that as one hundred and four million, all right,
no problems, okay. Then the big drop was after you laughed?
Of course, what went down to ninety eight million?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Okay? One of the reasons. I don't know who was
handing out the trophy then, But it makes you feel
better though, it does it does? I mean figure there'd
be a little bit of a spike there if I'm
handing out the trophy. Apparently not as much as I thought.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
ALRIGHTY eight seven seven three DP show email address Dpadanpatrick
dot com, Twitter handle it tp show Seaton whole question
from hour one and what do we going to go
with an hour two?
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Well, I find our one to be curious. Eagles chief
super Bowl was memorable for it? Right now it's split
down the middle between the Eagles defensive dominance and it
not being memorable at all.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
I wonder why no one is thinking about the Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I don't know. Maybe there's Chiefs fatigue in our pole questions.
He's fatigue. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Maybe what's the pole question for hour two? I got
another random one here from Todd with no kids? How
would you feel about having to go to Disney World
after winning a title?
Speaker 6 (03:33):
Interesting one.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
I'd be very excited about it. I love Mickey and
the rides, the tradition, so I'll make the best of it.
Will you feign enthusiasm and would but kind of dread it?
Or it's the lamest place on earth?
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Wow?
Speaker 7 (03:49):
Dang?
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Jalen Hurts is engaged. He doesn't have kids, I don't think, but.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah, you know, going there by yourself, well, he wouldn't
be by himself, he'd be people. It's not like he's
just wandering around going you know where's It's a small world.
I wanna ride on that ride, yes, Todd.
Speaker 8 (04:06):
I just remember Nancy Karradan being in that parade.
Speaker 9 (04:09):
See her.
Speaker 8 (04:10):
You can hear her and read her lips saying like,
how lame this is?
Speaker 6 (04:13):
Can I get out of here?
Speaker 4 (04:15):
You're right? I forgot all about that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
That uh, that's what people are reading lips. They're got Nancy.
We know what you're saying there.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Yes, Paul, I.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Think going to Disney World without kids sounds refreshing twenty
two dollars, chicken fingers, all the kids freaking out.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
It's it could get messy down there. It's just the
kids melt I mean it's hot. There's lines.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
I think the idea I've seen couples before where they're
bringing their kids to Disney World because I have my
broadcasting school in Orlando. So I'll get on a plane
and you got everybody is in a great mood. Everybody
is happy. This is wonderful. And then you see the
return flight where mom and dad are miserable, kids are
(04:58):
like crying, You're broke from all the money that you spend.
It's like until the next time we do this, Yeah,
pulling at.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Least in Vegas, you have a chance to come out ahead.
A chance, a low chance, but a chance.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Eight seven seven three DP show yes, Marvin.
Speaker 10 (05:18):
Seeing the parents argue at one another like I'm ready
to go. Yeah, how much we paid and them yelling
at the kids and my wife and I we went
there when I was at the Mothership. The discounts were amazing,
So you go there, right, Yeah, So we would play
a game, Hey, let's take a drink every time you
see a meltdown.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
No matter who it is.
Speaker 10 (05:37):
Dang, you see a meltdown, you just take a drink.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
You had to be drunk.
Speaker 10 (05:44):
I had Shirley Temple, But how he use the bathroom?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Now? Okay, By the way, Bridget Jones is back for
a final chapter. Bridget Jones Matt about the boy renee
Zelwigger stars in the Peacock original film, streaming February thirteenth.
I see any of the other Bridget Jones, but I
don't know if I have to see this one or
do I have to Can I see this one or
(06:07):
do I have to go back to the original there
with Hugh Grant.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Yes, Bridget Jones Diary two thousand and one, Bridget Jones
The Edge of Reality two thousand and four, Bridge Jones
Baby twenty sixteen, and now this one.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
I give him credit.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Get a what five or six of these movies out
of this? I mean, it's kind of the I don't know,
the what if mission impossible, the rom coms of Mission impossible,
Like there's five of them, and I think we need
to talk to Tom Cruise and say Tom, let's stop
with impossible. It is possible, Mission is really likely. Did
(06:49):
you see we talked about Denzel Washington and the equalizer
that he would wear black clothes because he was so heavy.
Now he's gotten into religion and I think he's going
to be a minister. And he says that he weighs
one eighty. He was up to two fifty, so he's
lost a lot of weight recently. Looks great, but he's
(07:10):
not don't have to wear the If there's an equalizer
for then it's gonna be a whole new Denzel Washington.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah, Paul, Yeah, I'm looking at a picture. You're right.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
He looks way thinn her. The next equalizer should be
brought to you by Ozepic.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Well, I don't want to accuse him of anything. No,
we don't know that.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Maybe it's just good living. He doesn't drink anymore. Yeah, yeah,
so when he grabs that watch though, you're in trouble.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Andy in Rhode Island, Hi, Andy, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Good morning?
Speaker 11 (07:40):
Dan, Dennis's going now, Marvin Prissy, Hey, guys, I was
taken down by the flu, but I picked myself back
up and I'm back again.
Speaker 12 (07:49):
And then I.
Speaker 11 (07:50):
Want to call him because I feel like there's a
lot of haters towards Pandora and I can't. I'm not
hand for that because with the effort that she put in,
I feel that a lot of people should appreciate it
because I don't see anyone else throwing their name and
a ringer and guess what, I'm gonna up up the
auntie and I'm gonna also be sent in mind. And
I hope that the critics card come hard for me
because I'm here for it. And you know what, if
(08:12):
you if you love the show that that much, you
should appreciate what everybody tries to put in because there's
a lot of effort that goes into the show and
for and honestly, the way I look at it, I'm
here for it.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Thank you, Thank you, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I think we got the message there that you think
Pandora's stat of the Day song sounded good, Marvin. For
those who weren't with us last hour, Pandora sent in
a stat of the Day song, stat.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Of the day, stat of the day. We love your
status day stat of the Day.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Okay, that's just a little little taste of Pandora. It
sounds almost burlesque like, like there might be some some
tassels involved.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Now that's what makes us so wonderful. Thank you, Tom.
She's putting clothes on. Yes, yes, Marvin, I.
Speaker 10 (09:04):
Thought it was kind of Lilith Fairish, Lilith Fair.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (09:08):
She's about to open up for the Indigo Girls.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
For the day's today.
Speaker 12 (09:21):
She has.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
J Lama, Jim and Iowa Hi Jim. What's on your
mind today?
Speaker 9 (09:29):
Hey Dan, first time, long time. So I think the
Super Bowl will be the memorable for Chief Snowshell and
Eagle's dominance. But the best line was my brother, a
big Bear stand in Chicago about two thirds to the
Super Bowl, texted me and said, this is what Mahomes
would be playing like if he was drafted by the Bears.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
That is true. That is true. We've talked about that.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Where you go, who's your coach, continuity, consistency with ownership,
your coordinators, all of that, all of that matters with
your success. You can be a good quarterback on a
bad team and you know, trying to lift up a team.
Did you see where Cam Newton he was on a
(10:14):
podcast and he talked about when he first got drafted
by Carolina. He said, you know I got drafted number one.
I was going to a bad team or my you know,
he was basically talking about who was on his team
at the time.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
And I looked at the roster.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
If you look, he had Steve Smith on there, greg
Olsen was on there. But I think Cam's quote is,
you know, kind of like I went to a bad team.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
They had a bad record.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I think the players that he had on that team
that wasn't a bad team. That's why Caleb should have
been better. Bear should have been better. They won seven
games the previous year. It's not like they're Tennessee and
you know what with Tennessee and you're starting to hear
this now. This was brought up, I don't know, probably
six weeks ago, maybe by a guest on the show,
(11:02):
and I'm trying to remember who it was. Might have
been Diana Russini who talked about, you know, maybe if
the Jets don't bring Aaron Rodgers back, he has a
place in Nashville, maybe he would want to play for
the Tennessee Titans. And if that's the case, that feels like, hey,
I still want to prove I can play. You're not
going to be playing in you know, playoff games, and
(11:22):
you're going to a team that has no identity whatsoever.
But if you're Aaron Rodgers, do you want to do
you have a chip on your shoulder that you want
to play in showpie? Because here are the Jets. They're
desperate for a quarterback. I think we can all agree
on that, but they're not desperate enough to bring Aaron
Rodgers back, which is the right decision. The question is
(11:44):
how many teams would be interested in bringing in Aaron
Rodgers for one year? If I'm Tennessee, Will Levis is
not the answer at least doesn't appear to be. Do
you want to bring in Aaron Rodgers for a one year?
And I think that would be the interesting part of
are you going to draft Travis Hunter? Are you going
to trade down? You better bolster your offensive line if
(12:07):
you're considering bringing in Aaron Rodgers because he'll be out
of football by you know, week five. But I mean
you talk about it's one thing to be bad and
be boring or irrelevant. You know, there are teams that
aren't good, but they're still interesting. If I if you're
going to draft somebody, draft Travis Hunter. Now I'm going
(12:29):
to watch if he's going to be a two way
player and you know he might be an All Pro
at defensive back.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
I think the two way player.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I think that he's such a great athlete in college,
you could get away with just being a great athlete.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
At wide receiver.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
In the NFL, you're going to have to run routes,
and we've had people who are saying defensive back plug
and play. You know, wide receiver might take him a
little while to understand the nuances of He'll have the talent,
but to understand the nuances, yes, Ton.
Speaker 8 (12:58):
Assuming he has a few decent options for next season,
is there really any scenario, knowing his ego and wanting attention,
that Aaron Rodgers would retire and let things end the
way they did last year. That'd be the final note
of his career.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
I have no idea.
Speaker 8 (13:11):
We have a team saying no, thank you, we don't
want He's not even saying no to them. They're getting
ahead of it and saying you're not back with us.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I don't know what his mindset is until he comes
on the show or he's on McAfee, and you know,
Pat presses him on how much do you want to play?
Where do you want to play? Can you play? How
important is playing and going out on top? I don't
even know what that means when they say going out
on top. The only way to go out on top
is when you win a Super Bowl, because anything other
(13:38):
than that is gosh, that's a disappointment. Are we lost
in the second round or we didn't make the play?
I mean, then you're chasing your tail. That doesn't make
any sense. But do I think Aaron I think the
Jets made the right decision not bringing him back. I
wouldn't do that if I'm Aaron Glenn. I don't want
to walk into that. I don't want to be held hostage.
I'm not interested in that at all. And he needs
(14:01):
to move forward New GM. Let's go, let's do it
my way. I don't want Aaron Rodgers left over there.
But can I see him playing in Tennessee? Yeah, I guess,
I guess. All right, let me take a break. Steve
Young will join us coming up next. We get to
more phone calls as well, and Kevin Bacon, the Big Actor,
(14:23):

Speaker 2 (15:40):
We've enjoyed the insights of Steve Young, one of the
smartest football minds that I know, Hall of Famer, three
times Super Bowl champ. Wanted to tap in one more
time before we said goodbye to this season. Steve kind
enough to join us once again. What will you take
away from this Super Bowl? If I said there's one
memory ten years now, you're going to think about what
(16:02):
with this Super Bowl?
Speaker 15 (16:04):
Well, there's the three peat, the chance to be a
three p which we tried in the late eighties and
the early nineties failed. And to see the emotional bankruptcy
that the Chiefs showed up with, especially offensively, with that
on the line, with like history on the line, it
kind of feels like the Patriots when they played the
Giants in two thousand and eight when they had the
(16:24):
undefeated season. You're like, you're gonna go down as the
greatest team, the greatest team that ever played. Possibly you
could just you can make that argument, and to come
out and emotionally lay it so flat was just shocking.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
I didn't understand the play calling here.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
You of course played the position a quarterback, but it
felt like they were doing the same thing and didn't
make any adjustments.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
What adjustments should they have made?
Speaker 15 (16:49):
Well, I think the problem was is that I'm sure
Andy was coach readers, probably scratching his heads like wait
a second, like I'm calling some plays here and like
to have no option.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
And then Patrick essentially, you know, you go down early.
Speaker 15 (17:04):
The Chiefs have done that before, go down ten nothing,
It's like, okay, we'll hang around, everything will be fine.
Then Patrick gives up fourteen points like that, and that's
where it all turned.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
And so like, are those.
Speaker 15 (17:14):
First three or four drives, Yeah, you know I should
play you know three and out come up with something
better than that. Everyone should take you know, Andy should
take some of that blame. Everyone should take the blame.
It just felt like, emotionally, when you have four guys
in the game today. We talked about this every time
we get on about how games change, the defense is
really put under the gun. They can't rule the they
(17:34):
can't rule like they used to. And so the low
four guys, not five or six, no blitz I don't
think it blitzed.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
One time in forty two snaps.
Speaker 15 (17:43):
There's just there was nothing the threat and other than
four guys just pounding you in the submission, four guys
in the NFL today, defensive line should not be able
at any circumstance to put you in that kind of
a bind. And so to me, that's just an emotional
readiness to go fight, and that they didn't have obviously
the offensive line, and then obviously play calling everything, everything
(18:04):
kind of just point Haywire.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
I thought that they would at least try to run.
Philadelphia was using Saquon Barkley. They weren't getting yards, but
he had twenty five carries.
Speaker 15 (18:14):
You look back and when you want to establish something,
especially when you can't block four guys. Yeah, I mean
that's pretty obvious Dan that they the first three series
got nothing, and you know, I think they were trying
to In my mind, I think that they felt like
the Eagles were going to score thirty and so that
you got to keep up and wanted to start that way.
(18:34):
I can't really go against especially play call Andy Reid,
like he's always got something in his pocket.
Speaker 7 (18:40):
He's always got some cool.
Speaker 15 (18:41):
Play when it really matters, and so you know, to
open the game and kind of fall flat on your
face is super unusual.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Is this just a bad night or is there something
maybe more systemic to this?
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Moving forward?
Speaker 7 (18:55):
Well, that defense is ready to play.
Speaker 15 (18:58):
That defense is ready to you know, I think they
came and there's four or five series they're just like, look,
give us some help. And I think that for whatever reason,
I don't, I how can it be systemic? You got
one of the great innovative play callers in the history
of the game, you got one of the great quarterbacks
in the game. You're gonna have to read tools that
people could, you know, continue to age. But there's no
(19:18):
reason to think that what we saw at.
Speaker 7 (19:21):
Super Bowl Sunday was even close to anything.
Speaker 15 (19:23):
They don't want to ever do again, Like, please tell
me you're gonna wash your hands and move on, because
that was that was not that was terrible.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
And I guess that we can kind of tamp down
the mahomes Is on Tom Brady's heels, his greatest quarterback
of all time.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
Yeah, that would have been.
Speaker 15 (19:41):
Yeah, the talk would have been super hot, and probably
for good reason, because he's got.
Speaker 7 (19:45):
Four already headed for who knows how many.
Speaker 15 (19:48):
You still got to figure that the AFC, with the
with the weapons that they have at quarterback that I
said a few years ago, they're going to trade Joe Burrow,
Josh Allen and he are going to trade super Bowls
for the next ten years.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
So it's just been Patrick.
Speaker 15 (20:01):
But until for the Nose, you got to figure that
Patrick's gonna be in the mix.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Talking to Steve Young, the three times Super Bowl champ,
what's it like to go to the line of scrimmage
and maybe you didn't feel this, but go to line
of scrimmage knowing they're coming after you, and they're getting
there a whole lot more often and quicker than you
thought they were going to.
Speaker 15 (20:21):
But see the theme. Patrick has dealt with this before.
I mean, he's he's the guy that has an answer.
He's mature to a point where he doesn't have to
look far downfield. It felt like he would. He just
he was looking for something great or amazing or super
you know, like the Superman stuff of.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
His early days.
Speaker 15 (20:38):
Would really just drop it off, get it out, blitz coverage,
you know, I mean.
Speaker 7 (20:43):
Get drop off the outlet.
Speaker 15 (20:45):
Like just like it felt like. And then also they
kept getting in third and long jams every time he
like it was third and eighteen third, and like he
can't play ball that way.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
But Brady talked about his footwork. He kept talking about
how Patrick was uncomfortable, he kept looking at his footwork
in the pocket.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
I agree with it.
Speaker 15 (21:03):
I think that his response felt it felt like the
Bucks game the Super Bowl a few years ago, where
just look, we understand you're under siege. We get it,
but like, no, it doesn't have to go down that way.
Speaker 7 (21:17):
You get it.
Speaker 15 (21:17):
You have an answer. I mean, you're Patrick Mahomes. Come
up with an answer, and that just and then when
he did, that's when he threw the pick six. Then
he did, he got hit and through the next pick
and all of a sudden, it's twenty.
Speaker 7 (21:27):
Four or nothing.
Speaker 15 (21:28):
And uh, you've just you put yourself in the you
know a'll bide, you can't get out of it.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
And also you know this because well you're on the
winning side of it. But when things happen, the mistakes
metastasize because it's the Super Bowl, like there's no tomorrow.
Everything is so important, and you know, if you don't
score here and then the next time you press a
little bit more. And it felt like that that it
just that's why we used to have these blowouts in
(21:53):
the Super Bowl. It felt like, man, it's just on
a roll and you can't stop it.
Speaker 7 (21:58):
Stop it.
Speaker 15 (21:59):
Well, Championship football, unlike baseball, basketball, seven game series we've
talked about all the time, it happens in a series
and the really really sophisticated, mature teams recognize that and
don't waste a down in championship football. And the Chiefs
have gotten away with wasting a lot of downs in
CHAMPIONI football and.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
Still figured it out. You can make a case for
the Chiefs being zero to five in Super Bowls.
Speaker 15 (22:25):
It's like within a whisker two of the forty nine ers,
another one with the Eagles the first time. So like
they ride the rail and they've they've come through so
many times, and here, all of a sudden, it just
got away from them. They were down ten to nothing.
They probably felt like, oh, yeah, we've been here before,
we get this. We're a little bit of a season.
And that's when he threw the pick six.
Speaker 7 (22:45):
That's when things turned haywire.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
There wasn't social media when you guys were going for
a three peat, But was America tired of the forty
nine ers?
Speaker 15 (22:55):
Everyone gets like the Yankees back in the day or
the Patriots for those years. They people like to see
new people and uh, I don't know if that's actually
true thing, it's just a theme, but we've got to
I mean, we've got to recognize them. So, especially in
today's commoditized NFL, you can stay on top today. That's
a heck of a thing because everything about the game
(23:17):
is pressing you back to the median and you're getting
I'm gonna stay elite. So it's shocking in today's game
that people can stay on top. But it's what's amazing
is as much as they try to commoditize it all,
there's still ten teams that you're gonna see every year
because they're so well run. They have the quarterbacks that
matter today, the guys that can run. Even with jalend Hurts,
(23:39):
you know, his legs made the game. As with every
championship game into the future, will matter. You're the quarterbacks,
legs will decide the game. And it happened again.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
I want to ask you a couple other topics outside
of the super Bowl. Tennessee's on the clock and maybe
Travis Hunter, two way player with Colorado Dion, was on
the show on Ride Egg and he says he sees
him playing both offense and defense, and it feels like
he can be an all pro cornerback type talent. I
(24:09):
don't know if you he seems a little rough as
far as a wide receiver. You can get away with
that in college, I don't know if you can in
the NFL. Could you see Tennessee, Let's say they take
him using him both ways.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
You'd have to You can't. One thing's for sure.
Speaker 15 (24:24):
You can't play all pro corner without locking it down,
like you can't be messing around now. Dion did what
I think you could think Travis could do, which is, look,
I'm gonna be a shutdown all pro corner and I
can run some routes. I can come in and do
a couple of things. I can set up in the
slot and do some cool stuff. But not full time,
(24:44):
no way. I just the game is the two demanding
athletically that you know to put and he plays on
offense and he he plays on defense.
Speaker 7 (24:54):
It's just asking too much.
Speaker 15 (24:55):
And I don't think you can if he's going to
be a full time receiver and then go toy at corner.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
That doesn't work.
Speaker 15 (25:00):
You know, you know that you can't just go like,
oh yeah, they kept a couple of plays at corner.
You're gonna get yourself roasted.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Well, I would have him play majority of the plays
at corner and then sprinkle sprinkle in.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
Play off, play off pro corner.
Speaker 15 (25:13):
And yes, I think Dean did that with us with
the forty nine ers for the year, and then he
did it before, like line up, have some cool routes
and do it every once in a while, be fine,
red zone kind of cool stuff.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
You know.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
But how often did he say I want to play
offense when he was with you guys?
Speaker 7 (25:31):
Super Bowl? Hey man, super Bowl? Let me run?
Speaker 14 (25:38):
He did.
Speaker 7 (25:38):
He ran a couple of routes in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
So so he does he go to you and say
I want to play or does he go to coach?
Speaker 15 (25:48):
He lets you know one thing about Dion, he never
had He never wondered, never wondered when he felt what
he was thinking. Remember I told you the time Dan
when he's like he pulled me aside, said Steve, look,
I'm a marketing magician. There's two parade, you know. There's
the I'm gonna be the greatest work ethic you ever seen.
I'm gonna be ready for every game but then I
have this other parade that you're gonna watch. Get some
(26:10):
popcorn and enjoy it.
Speaker 7 (26:10):
And I really did.
Speaker 15 (26:11):
He was an amazing athlete, I mean, an amazing teammate.
He worked harder than everybody, and then he had this
other parade that he did that you know, he navigated.
Speaker 7 (26:20):
It was a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
What was it like to face him?
Speaker 7 (26:22):
Though he was one of the rare court I would
imagine playing Michael Jordan. There are athletes that defy your eye.
You know, you got to understand.
Speaker 15 (26:32):
My job is to be able to sense the speed
and athleticism of who I'm throwing the ball against so
that I know that the ball is safe. How many
times you've seen a football throwne that's just barely out
of someone's reach, you know, because you judge that and
that split second knowledge. He defied that to me. There
(26:52):
are ball the footballs that I threw that I'm like,
that's fine. And then he would not make him I'm like,
wait a second, my eyeball can't can't gauge him, So
I didn't. I tried not to mess with him as
much just because you couldn't make the judgment. And I
feel like there are athletes that you see something, see
them do something, and you go, wha wait, I gotta
see that again, because that didn't make my eye didn't
(27:15):
cover up.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
It didn't make sense to me, And Michael George's probably
that way as well.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
If you're Aaron Rodgers, what would you do.
Speaker 15 (27:24):
In today's game? Tom Brady said it best. The flats
are always open, the middle of the field is unpatrolled.
Speaker 7 (27:30):
And no one could hit me. And by the way,
I make fifty million dollars.
Speaker 15 (27:34):
So I think that Aaron, because he's healthy a full
year look at the mobility is down everything else. But
if you can get to a place that understands the position,
has innovative mindsets, there's more and more places like that
that you can get where you can take advantage of
the you know, the new football that's being played. If
(27:56):
he can get to one of those spots, I'm sure
he'd still loved go play some great football, especially with
one innovative minds. So I don't think I mean if
he might be forced to retire because no one will do,
you know, give him the job, But I think someone
I look, you can't go to a place where it's
not set up.
Speaker 7 (28:14):
For the quarterback. I mean, just flaught out, not even
gonna bother with it. He already he just did that
with the Jets. So you're not gonna do it again.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yeah, but I wonder who looks at their team and says,
that's what we need. He'll be the difference maker. The
Jets thought that they were getting that guy.
Speaker 15 (28:30):
I know, yeah, but then I look, the one thing
I do know is that he was he was taught
in a more sophisticated era, and Tom Brady, Peyton Manning,
they all took advantage of it. Matthew Stafford's taken advantage
of it. This is a game that's significantly easier. I look,
I like some old guy yell and I'll get off
my lawn. But like, the game is significantly less sophisticated
(28:54):
in that way, and so he can take advantage of it.
He knows that, and so if he can get to
a good spot, look I would I would go try
to take advantage, especially if you can still run around
a little bit.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
That's that's the game today.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Did you think about coming out of retirement at any
point after you've retired.
Speaker 15 (29:12):
You always think about it, Dan, I mean the thing
that you're you know, you're one of the best in
the world is something, and then you retire and you're
not You're not that anymore. And then you look out
in the future you're not even good at anything else.
And that's what's somming about it, right, You're at the
bottom of I always describe it as a bottom of
a bottom of a cliff. You've fallen in a bag
of bones and like you gotta it's a death. And
(29:35):
so if someone said you, hey, that thing that you're
great at, you're not gonna be great at things in
your whole life ever again, Like that that thing you're
great at, let's do it again.
Speaker 7 (29:44):
Like, yeah, let's do that again, because that's what I'm
best at.
Speaker 15 (29:48):
So it goes through your mind for years cause you think, oh,
you know, that was what I'm best at. But you
have to That was like Roger stob I gave me
the best advice ever, Just run, Steve. The game will
never leave you, but you gotta leave it.
Speaker 7 (30:01):
You got to run. And so emotionally more than anything.
Speaker 15 (30:04):
And I think that's probably why, because you know, the
next day when you find out you're not good at
even I'm not great.
Speaker 7 (30:10):
I'm not even good at anything else, You're like, dang
or do I get started?
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Did you have to retire? Did you have to?
Speaker 11 (30:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (30:18):
A little bit, I think that, you know, I didn't
know I could have gone to Denver.
Speaker 15 (30:24):
Mike, Shanaan and I had long conversations about it, and uh,
my wife still tells me that I was an idiot
not to do it.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
But yeah, so no, wait, how close were you playing
for the Broncos? Uh?
Speaker 7 (30:38):
Closer than the Dodgers?
Speaker 15 (30:40):
Okay, but right, but you know what I mean, Like
it was it was definitely something that could have happened.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Yeah, and your wife said that you should do it.
See that's the interesting part there that you know. Usually
it's the other way around, I know. So you would
have taken over for Ryan Greasy.
Speaker 7 (31:01):
Yeah, Mike ha heard ganging up on me.
Speaker 15 (31:03):
So yeah, but that's but that's the hard part again,
what your best at Steve keep doing it like, yeah,
you know that's what was unusual about him.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Thanks again for making time for us.
Speaker 7 (31:17):
Dan, you're the man.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Travel Thank you about it.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
That's a Steve Young Hall of Famer, always fun to
talk to, Always great conversations. Feels like those are the
conversations I would have with him if I wasn't on
the show. There's a certain guy, Reggie Miller, Charles you know,
there's John Smoltz. There's probably ten guys that I feel
like what we talk about is what we would talk
about if we weren't on the show. But Steve won
(31:45):
three Super Bowls and a two time NFL MVP. A
couple of phone calls Rodney in Hampton, not to be
confused with Rodney Hampton.
Speaker 12 (31:55):
Hey, Dan, two posts. Super Bowl perspective is number one.
Andy Reid is a good coach. Well, let's pump the
brakes from the greatest of all time. Case in point.
He's been embarrassed and blown out in two Super Bowls.
Tom Land, we lost three Super Bowls by a total
of eleven points. Furthermore, I don't know if you know
(32:19):
this or not, Dan, but the NFC East has the
most Super Bowl wins with fourteen. Second is the AFC
West with ten. For the Philadelphia fans out there, every
team in the East not only won multiple Super Bowls
(32:41):
before Philly got their first one, but they always have
and always will be the fourth best history success story
of the four teams in the East.
Speaker 9 (32:59):
Love your.
Speaker 15 (33:01):
Stata Day, Stata the j Stanta, the j oh damn
give us.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Status? All right, that's uh, that's Pandora from Las Vegas. Danny, Yes, uh.
Speaker 8 (33:21):
I'm starting to feel a little less excited about it.
Speaker 7 (33:23):
My initial thought was, yeah, no, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
It's starting to uhy like feathers tassels, headdress.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
Yeah, smoke a little little.
Speaker 7 (33:37):
Really and Oddley turned on by it, which is even
more than the.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
Thank you to all Right, we'll take a break. More
phone calls coming up after this.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
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 Heart Radio WAP.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
Is it too early to play the Aaron Rodgers game?
You want to beat the rush?
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Feels like there's a lot of people already with a
head start on this since the end of the season.
All right, where will Aaron Rodgers be next year at
the start of the NFL season?
Speaker 4 (34:20):
Where will he be?
Speaker 7 (34:23):
Todd?
Speaker 4 (34:23):
I'm going to start with you.
Speaker 7 (34:25):
The New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 6 (34:27):
I'm gonna take a chance.
Speaker 7 (34:28):
On out in a week division.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
So they're kicking Derek car to the curve. Would you
rather have Derek Carr or Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 7 (34:36):
I think Aaron.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Rodgers Seaton next year started the NFL season, Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
Will be where.
Speaker 6 (34:46):
Sitting in a studio hosting his own podcast.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (34:51):
I think he's probably getting more out of the reaction
he gets from Pat McAfee's show than he does on
the field. And I think that his personality. I think
there's a reason that he's still bringing up a stupid uh.
Speaker 6 (35:08):
It looks like the leagues immunized.
Speaker 5 (35:09):
Me because he gets exactly the kind of reaction that
he wants where people are like, oh my god, this
dude still bring He gets that attention.
Speaker 6 (35:17):
He's not getting that on the field anymore.
Speaker 10 (35:19):
Marvin the Tennessee Titans, I don't think he's going to
retire yet.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
Okay, and you buying into Tennessee Titans, huh, Paul.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
This team has a history of doing stuff like this
with older quarterbacks the Indianapolis Colts or Colts.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
I think the fact that he came back to the
Jets to talk to the Jets about maybe coming back
and playing another season tells you he wants to play it.
Because if he knew they were moving on or had
an idea, then you wouldn't have flown back to talk
to the Jets unless there was something contractually that you know,
when he gets dismissed cut, you know he's got certain
(36:03):
money coming to him. I don't know the intricacies of that,
but he did come back met with them, so it
feels like he was still fighting to play one more year.
I don't know if it's a case of if I
can't play for the Jets, then I don't want to
play anymore. I'll say Tennessee just because I don't think
Pittsburgh would make that mistake. But they're closer to winning something.
(36:28):
That's where is Aaron Rodgers better than Justin Fields or
Russell Wilson And yes, went healthy, Yes he is. But
could I see the Raiders. I just don't know if
Tom Brady is going to walk into that and go,
I'm going to start my tenure as an owner with
a guy who's going to be there for one year
(36:51):
and I'm going to have to, I don't know, deal
with those things. They I mean they want Shador Sanders.
I think the Giants are going to end up with
Shadoor sad He.
Speaker 8 (37:00):
Has to interesting our pick. Saints, Colts, Titans very winnable
divisions you've put him in. Maybe he can get them
over the hump, not necessarily anywhere near a super Bowl,
but to at least win that division, whether it be
the NFC South or AFC.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
South, anybody else, any other teams that we would throw
in their Paul.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
I've got the top ten odds. How about the San
Francisco forty nine ers now all party all the time.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Yeah, I think that they've reportedly already started negotiations.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
I think that's where they.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
I would say, look, you're not going to be the
highest paid quarterback because we want to make sure we
keep talent around you and this will ensure success for you.
Let's come up with a contract that makes sense for both.
Patrick Mahomes did this for the Kansas City Chiefs, So
the best quarterback in the game did this to the
Kansas City Chiefs, gave them what's turned out to be
(37:49):
a bargain. Brock Purdy needs to know where he stands
and what's important. Patrick Mahomes wanted to make sure that
he got super bowls. If Brock Purty wants to do that,
get back to a super Bowl, I think you got
to do a deal that's friendly to both, not a
team friendly but friendly to both.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
Yes, Paul, here's a couple more than in the top
ten of current odds, the la Rams. The reasoning that
I'm reading here is if the Matthew Stafford deal is
too big for two years, it doesn't feel like it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
No, but Sean McVay with him would be certainly interesting.
But you're moving on from Cooper Cup Who else is
in there?
Speaker 3 (38:27):
How about this one? I was thinking about this. How
about the Cleveland Browns? Their quarterback just tore his achilles again.
They're probably trying to get out of that contract. They're
not a bad roster, They're not a horrible roster.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
I don't know. But do you want to go from easy?
Speaker 11 (38:44):
No?
Speaker 4 (38:44):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
I wouldn't want to do that if you're Aaron both
like the Browns need to figure this out. Are you
hitting the reset button? And that's the case, then trade
Miles Garrett get out from underneath to Sean Watson's contract.
You know you're trying to get a new stage. This
doesn't help you get a new stadium. Be like, I
don't want to support that anybody else on that list.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
This is a week ago, but the Vikings were in
the top ten of the odds. Yeah, I don't see.
It doesn't seem like.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
It unless we're gonna, you know, complete the Brett Favre
trilogy here storyline.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 6 (39:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
That's the Aaron Rodgers game. Tomorrow, We're gonna play the
Brock Party game. Yes, Chuck in Vegas? Hi, Chuck, what's
on your mind?
Speaker 14 (39:34):
Ay?
Speaker 16 (39:35):
Good morning, DJ, Thanks for taking a call. I was
just curious after last year when Fritzy went from New
York to Florida to get to Vegas. This year, did
he go from New York to Vegas to get to
New Orleans?
Speaker 7 (39:48):
Todd?
Speaker 4 (39:49):
Your flight plan?
Speaker 8 (39:50):
I went from Hartford to Charlotte draw Out to New Orleans,
which is kind of normal going back a little question.
But but based on the time I was looking to leave,
I went to Chicago. O hair from New Orleans and
Chicago hair to Heartbreak. So yeah, I went to Chicago,
which is a little off roots, but that was the
best at least I can find for a mid afternoon departure.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
I think that you could work for Fox Sports, because
Seatan was talking about this during the Super Bowl, that
they're really good at emphasizing the last word.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
Oh hair cago o hair to Bradley upward? Didn't you
have your imitation seatan of those working for Fox? I
flew right past there, so yeah, yeah, yeah I did.
Wait is that your Aaron Andrews impersonation?
Speaker 6 (40:36):
He has the same accent.
Speaker 5 (40:37):
Oh he's the exact same accent as Kevin Burkhard, Tom
Brady and everybody else.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
If you listen to her podcast you can hear it.
So Todd, you got a future when this show ends.
There you go, you could work at Fox?
Speaker 7 (40:54):
Oh nice? Why not? Eh?
Speaker 8 (40:57):
Or I'll do the podcast with Caris and Aaron if
they're looking for a third.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
But we can do that.
Speaker 7 (41:02):
Is that asking too much?
Speaker 4 (41:03):
Probably?
Speaker 8 (41:03):
Probably ask you too much?
Speaker 4 (41:05):
Probably?
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Maybe Nick Wright would have you on. Nick Wright I
believe is joining us tomorrow on the troil is. Yeah,
he got roughed up yesterday afternoon on his show. He
got roughed up. It was fun. They had a marching band,
like all these things. They were preparing for Kansas City
to win three pete confetti, marching band, banners.
Speaker 4 (41:25):
All of that.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
So they just said, well, we spent all this money,
we got to go through with it. Kevin Bacon, great actor,
and big Eagles fan. He'll join us coming up in
about twenty five minutes from now. Two hours in the books,
one more to go on this Tuesday. Back after this
