Best and Worst to the weekend eight seven seven three
DP Show operator Tyler sitting by to take your phone calls.

(01:06):
We'll work in reverse order. We'll start with Bill Belichick
last night and his debut at North Carolina. It did
not go well. In fact, it was embarrassing. Here is
just a portion of a column that was written by
the Charlotte News and Observer sports columnist Luke decoc. He

(01:27):
starts out to say, forget the cutoff sleeves. The alleged
football genius got pantsed in his college debut. North Carolina
paid ten million dollars for Bill Belichick and got sold
a bill of goods. The students gave up before the
third quarter was over, right after the defense. It's certainly

(01:48):
possible that this could have been worse for Belichick and
the tar Heels, but that's an argument over a matter
of degrees. Belichick and his brain trust promised the thirty
third NFL team, and yes, was certainly at the same
level of what the Cleveland Browns annually perpetrate on their fans. Ouch,

(02:08):
that's a local reaction. Bill got humbled. And if you're
looking for a great way to start a college career,
North Carolina had that first drive oh Man touchdown cutaway
Michael Jordan, all the luminaries, dignitaries. We got a beautiful
night here for Carolina football, and they forgot that TCU

(02:31):
also was going to play as well. And TCU was
favored in that game. And I'm watching the pregame and
I understand you want to feature Belichick. He's not interesting.
He doesn't say anything interesting. The look of him is
kind of interesting on the sidelines. But Rhys Davis sat
down and did an interview with him, and Holly Road
did an interview with him. He's meant to be looked

(02:54):
at and watch the results, not listen to because there's
very little that he's going to tell you.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
So you're watching.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
This is different than Dion, and Dion opened up with
TCU as well. Dion is charismatic, he's interesting, flamboyant. But
you're watching Bill and they brought in seventy new players. Incredible,
incredible to have seventy new players and then try to
get them all to be ready to go week one

(03:23):
against a quality opponent. Yes, you're at home, but after
a while, after the first five minutes, then all that
wears off. Now you've got to play football. And they
looked woefully unprepared and TCU played really well, but you
just don't expect that from Bill Belichick. You don't expect
him to be out coached, as he said. Here is

(03:47):
Belichick after North Carolina was blown out.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
You know, any time you give up two turnovers to
touchdowns offensively, that's not good. We gave up several long
plays on defense, you know where they gained a lot
of ours on one play. So it's just too many
of those. There wasn't any one thing. It was a
combination of multiple things. Too many three and out's too
many long plays on defense and then two turnovers. Well

(04:12):
we have three turnovers, two turnovers touchdowns. They can overcome that.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
TCU had five hundred and forty two total yards on offense.
Second time in four hundred and sixty eight NFL and
college games Bill Belichick, a Belichick coach team has given
up that many yards. Stat of the Day brought to

(04:46):
you by Panini America. A lot of games to go over,
and you can look at this as parody because okay,
let's start Week zero. Iowa State knocks off k State.
That's in Ireland. You know one is ranked twenty two.
One is so that's not a big thing. Ohio State
taking down arch Manning in Texas, you had LSU over Clemson.

(05:08):
You know, these are mild upsets. Florida State stunning Alabama
and we'll talk a little bit more about that. Miami
beating Notre Dame was not a surprise. So these things
are going to happen this year. I don't know if
you're going to have a great team. Keep in mind
all the players of Ohio State lost to the NFL.
You lose your quarterback, I mean, you lose your running

(05:29):
back and they're at home. Yes, and Texas came in
with all the fanfare, number one and you got arch
Manning and it proved to be too much. Now, Texas
could have won the game. I think people are reacting
that oh man arch looked terrible and they got blown out.
They could have won this game. And it's not like
Ohio State was great. I thought the defense was great.

(05:51):
But you know, was it big for arch Manning? Too
big for arch Manning? Yes, it certainly felt that way,
but I got to get a let Let's I caution
people every year. Don't overreact. So he went from Heisman
to he shouldn't even be on the list. Texas, they're
not great Ohio State's great boy. Alabama is terrible, Florida

(06:15):
State is back Notre Dame. We don't overreact. It's fun too,
but you have to caution yourself with this because Arch
will come back and probably have a really good game
against an inferior opponent, and then we'll go, Okay, Belichick.
Next game, I think is that Charlotte, and you'll probably

(06:36):
win that. We'll go all right, well, he kind of
all right, it's not going to be that bad. The
Alabama result is the one that stands out over all
of them because, and give credit Florida State, Florida State
was the better team and their defensive line was wonderful,
well offensive line as well. But I go back to

(06:57):
Kaylin de Boor, who felt like he was the hottest
coach in America at Washington, and you can't turn down Alabama.
Nick Saban didn't have to replace Nick Saban. Kayland Boor
has to replace Nick Saban. And Nick Saban is omnipresident
on the Mothership, so it's not like he's he's gone,
you don't see him anymore. He's right there. And Caylen

(07:21):
de Boor and Alabama, they they got roughed up in
more ways than one, and then you start to think about,
you know, bigger picture here. Now, I think Belichick has
probably done after one year anyway, maybe two years, but
you know that might be that you know, he still
wants to go back to the NFL, which I think

(07:43):
going to college and what's happening in college, I'm less
likely to see him. And in fact, when he left the
Patriots so they fired him, I said he won't coach
in the NFL again. There's just too much there. But
you got the Alabama situation and immediately you start having
people go that's the buyout for Kaylen de Boor. That
didn't take long, and that's where we overreact. Let's just

(08:06):
wait and see how good this team is. But what
we saw over the weekend Florida State roughing them up.
In seventeen years at Alabama, Nick Saban lost four games
to unranked opponents. That's the same number of losses to
unranked opponents kayland Boor has in his first two seasons
at Alabama.

Speaker 5 (08:25):
Woo stall of a day, Stella day, Statuta day, start
outa day.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
This is the style of the day, so again ranked opponents.
Saban was one twenty four and four Debaor is six
and four, and all of a sudden, you can look
around and go, what's that buyout for Kaylen de Boor?

Speaker 3 (08:51):
And I, you know.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Sometimes we look at players and I go, give me
a larger sample size here, and I liken Zach Wilson
going number two overall to Kaylin de Boor going to
Alabama Like wow, okay, And I don't want to overreact,
but I didn't see promising results in week in the
year one. And now you open up with Florida State.

(09:13):
Now it's at Florida State. They obviously were terrible last year.
Chip on their shoulder, we're a proud, proud team. And
Alabama went in there and Florida State did not care.
They didn't care who you are, what you are. And
that's what's surprising. When Saban left, Alabama was still good.

(09:34):
Now he resigned abruptly. I think he was just done
with all the transfer portal and nil and all of that.
You know, it's terrible tramoning college football. Kaylen de bor
comes in after a successful year at Washington. Doesn't mean
you're the right guy for that job. Doesn't mean he
can't be a really good coach, But you can't pass
up Alabama. I understand that, but that's the one that

(09:56):
surprised me. And it wasn't a fluke. I mean, when
Florida State went up big, I'm thinking, yeah, they're a
far better team, and they certainly showed them. But Ohio
State winning I wasn't surprised in that atmosphere. I mean,
Ohio State offensively didn't do much, but they did just

(10:20):
enough and that defense was wonderful. Miami as well against
Notre Dame, I was not surprised at that. Here's the
stat for you. The last time Texas, Notre Dame in
Alabama all lost in the same week twenty seventeen Thanksgiving weekend,
Texas lost to Texas Tech, Notre Dame lost to Stanford,
Alabama lost to Auburn. And you know, there's no gimmes

(10:43):
in the SEC. It's not like Alabama can go well.
You know, we have some easy games. When you get
into the SEC, they're not easy games, you know, Belichick
in North Carolina, you're still in the ACC. All right,
You've got a couple of games you gotta worry about,
but you can still maybe carve out eight wins here.
That's I think the over unders eight eight and a

(11:04):
half something like that, which is what we thought they
were probably going to be doing. But Belichick is always
great at the next time around making adjustments. Now, if
this was an NFL game, I would have thought, Okay,
Belichick's going to really adjust in the second half or
the third core, maybe the fourth quarter, He's going to adjust.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
It's seventy new players.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
That's enormous, and I think that's the herculean task, is
to get seventy players in a short period of time
to understand exactly what we're trying to do here. And
they looked inept, they look unprepared, they were overmatched. And

(11:51):
I did feel bad for LSU because I'm watching the game,
you know, pregame, and I'm going, guys acknowledged TCU, acknowledge TCU.
Do something. And Reees Davis sat down with Bill Belichick. Okay,
and let's go to Holly Row with Bill Belichick.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
Do something on TCU. They're favored in this game.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Hey, Michael Jordan's here, do something, Lawrence Taylor's here, Mia Ham's.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
Here, do something on TCU.

Speaker 6 (12:24):
Yes, there was this one shot where it was like
it was like Michael Jordan, Lawrence Taylor and I forget
who else is all sitting together?

Speaker 3 (12:34):
And Roy Williams, Yeah, Roy Williams.

Speaker 6 (12:36):
And then they cut away to a real Randy Moscow
and crazy like everybody was there.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Yep, And I thought, just just be fair with your coverage,
just to protect yourself. Everybody's picking North Carolina to win
the game. Meanwhile, TCU was favored, I think by three
and a half and that first drive and I thought, wow,
that's impressive. Then a three and out by t and
I go wow. And then all of a sudden, I went, wow,

(13:03):
North Carolina's bad.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
Yeah, Paul, But do.

Speaker 7 (13:06):
You think it's way too much of an overaction for
a blowout? Like that column you read a couple of
minutes ago. They basically declared the writer said, this is over.
This experiment is a failure. Bill Belichick's first year in
New England, he was five and eleven. Then he won
three of the next four Super Bowls. It seems like
you should people should have a little more faith in
his expertise more than an August football game.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
I would, except for recruiting is about personality, and Bill
doesn't have a personality. Bill is give me, give me
the groceries, and I'll make a meal better than anybody.
That's what he does. Recruiting is about. You got to
go talk to Jimmy Lipper and you know, you know,
Jimmy Skinjeal and Tommy Kelamari and you got to talk

(13:49):
to all their parents and glad hand and boosters. And
that's not what he's built for. And you bring in
seventy new new players and I don't I don't know
if he one of those guys that brings them together,
you know, like Dion brings them together. Bell's like, all right,
well played TCU.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
Uh, let's go get him.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
This is different. And by the way, he did have
Tom Brady. I mean that helped in a really good
defense when he got there. People don't care what your
resume is, Like none of these guys Sonny Dykes at
TCUs like, all right, that's Belichick. He not playing everybody.
That's what they kept saying. Belichick ain't playing, so don't
worry about it. All right, let's see what he can do.

(14:35):
And you saw that. But I thought TCU did a
wonderful job kind of staying in the moment and not
letting it become too big.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
Oh, Todd, you had the wrong credit.

Speaker 8 (14:48):
Because there's a shawt observer, LUKEDA cockworks for the Raleigh
News and Observers. Oh the pitch, we had that right,
that was something I had wrong. I thought it with Shaw,
but it's the Raleigh paper.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
So we started out with an error. Yeah, okay, we
just rectified it.

Speaker 6 (15:00):
That's actually Duke Lecoq writes for the Charlotte Observers is
Luke Takok.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
But unlike North Carolina, we will recover from this week still.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
Thank you already.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
All right, so best and worst of the weekend. Once
you saw that you liked you didn't like. We hear
from arch Manning coming up about his performance, don't overreact.
He's I know, I'm watching and I go, oh my gosh,
this guy's going to get roughed up.

Speaker 7 (15:27):
Yes, Paul, I saw some graphic on the screen and
in no context at arch Manning.

Speaker 9 (15:31):
Oh and one in his career.

Speaker 7 (15:32):
Peyton Manning won his first career start and art Eli
Manning won his first career start. Peyton Manning was at
home against East Carolina and Eli Manning was at home
against Murray State.

Speaker 9 (15:43):
They weren't at the Shoe in.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Augusta against the defending national Champs a pill. But you
know he oh, he can't win the Heisman. Now, okay,
he lost on the road to the defending national champs.
He can still win the Heisman. I said he wouldn't
win the Heisman. Somebody in this room said he would
cruise to the Heisman.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
But it's early.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Let's just see, let's just see how this all plays out.
Instead of here's my reaction, here's my hot take, and
now I move on from that. Texas is still a
great team. I thought both coaches didn't do well in
trying to take some chances.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
I thought Texas was going to take more chances with Arch.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Now Julian say in the Ohio State quarterback, I understand that.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
Let's just easy, man.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Hopefully our defense can win this game, keep us in
this make a couple of plays. I still thought we
would have a little bit more firepower. That was a
big surprise on both sides.

Speaker 10 (16:43):
There.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
All right, just getting started. We'll get to your phone
calls coming up eight seven, seven to three DP show.
We're back after this Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 1 (16:52):

Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific

Speaker 5 (17:02):
Hey, it's Ben, host of The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller.
Would mean a lot to have you join us on
our weekly auditory journey. You're asking, what in God's name
is the Fifth Hour. I'll tell you it's a spin
off of that Ben Mather show, a cult hit overnights

to The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
I watched a lot of I watch a lot of
strange football. It doesn't matter. I'll be like, you know,
just kind of thumbing through and it be like, you know,
Armies playing Tarleton State and losing, and I'll be like, oh,
I'll watch this for a little while. I did watch
a lot of UCLA Utah. And is there a more

(17:54):
underappreciated program than Utah. It feels like over the years,
like the last twenty years, it feels like every year
we'll go, man, Utah's pretty good. UCLA looked pretty bad.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
But the Utes. They're impressive. Yeah, Pauli.

Speaker 9 (18:12):
They've been in two Rose Bowls in the past five years.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Yeah, it's at the quality program you're watching and you
go young, they're good. They're good again this year, and
then you'll hit they're probably a top ten team. They
might not be now, but at the end of the
year they'll be a top ten team. We want a troubleshoot.
We want to get ahead of this. And Paulie brought
up a great point that a graphic says that you

(18:35):
know arch.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
Manning oh ha won.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Peyton and Eli were one to oh in their college debuts.
Peyton didn't start out by playing Florida on the road.
He has had a home against He's Carolina.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
He threw one.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Touchdown pass Scrappy's Carolina. Yeah, the Pirates don't sleep on them.
And then you had Eli opening up, Yes, paul Eli
lit up Murray State. You're twenty of twenty three to
seventy five touchdowns for Eli.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
They were the ear racers, Yes, your racers. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
And then Arts had to just play Ohio State in
Columbus defending national champs. Chris and Syracuse, Hi, Chris, how
are you hey?

Speaker 11 (19:17):
Thanks?

Speaker 12 (19:17):
As always, Dan Hey, I got a best and worst
and a question for you, and right off the bat,
if you guys get a chance. Today's Wall Street Journal,
there's a good article on the front page on Bristol,
Connecticut over MIT's got some great lines in it. And
also I'm sure on Thursday the Eagles are going to
cream the Cowboys something like forty one seven. But I
have the strongest feeling Dallas beats Philadelphia Thursday, NBC.

Speaker 11 (19:40):
You heard it here first.

Speaker 12 (19:41):
And the Dan Patricks show my best. Brian Kelly getting
a big win early in the season, seems like he
always blows games like that, so it's a nice cm
on not to w and my worst. In his press
conference afterwards, twice he said how much he admired his
player's composure during the game, and that.

Speaker 11 (19:59):
Guy should work on composure.

Speaker 12 (20:00):
His head's going to explode it he's always brating, swearing,
yelling at his players, and man, you know you've got
recruits watching and their parents.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
It's just not a good look.

Speaker 12 (20:11):
And in the age of nil and the transfer portal,
public shaming may not be.

Speaker 3 (20:15):
The way to go.

Speaker 12 (20:16):
And a question now, I know at Dallas home games
this year when they put Jerry's mug up on that
big screen.

Speaker 13 (20:22):
They're going to bool them.

Speaker 12 (20:23):
Now, Micah did ask for a trade. He was acting
pretty understood the last couple of weeks and being a
cowboy when he was there. So it may take off
some fans. But on September twenty eighth, what kind of
reception do you think Michael will receive from the cowboy faithful?

Speaker 2 (20:37):
I have no idea. I have no idea the mindset
of Dallas Cowboy fans. Certainly over the last thirty years,
it felt like now Albert Breer, the Monday Morning quarterback
is going to join us. Later on, he said that
Michael Parsons had two different personalities. Now, this is during
the negotiations when he was with his team and there's

(21:00):
cameras around. Jerry Jones wasn't around. He was great everything
you want him to do, but he wasn't taking part in,
you know, all the practice drills. He wasn't a full
participant when Jerry Jones and other people would show up.
That's when he acted like he didn't care. Now, this
is according to Albert Breer. I think that Micah Parsons

(21:22):
was resigned to the fact that either he had to
play his fifth year option or he was going to
be traded.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
And you know, I was.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
Told there were six teams that presented offers to the
Damads Cowboys. It wasn't just Green Bag, but Jerry was
so caught up and got to get a run stopper.
All right, you got a run stopper. So now you
can stop the run. Can you stop the past because
you don't have Michael Parsons to get to the quarterback?
You know, pick your poison here. But you know, we'll

(21:53):
talk to Albert Breer a little bit more about this.
And Michael Parsons, I guess really has a back issue
because he it sounds like he's getting an epidural before
the game on Thursday night or Sunday. How does this
information get out that you're going to get an epidural.

Speaker 6 (22:11):
That's a real kick in the pants too. By the way, that.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Mike has got a back issue, I guess he wasn't
lying where he was sitting out saying, hey, I have
a back issue. Now you're going to get an epidural.
I mean, moms who go through labored don't like telling
you they have an epidural. Now I got I already
know Michael, person's got an epidural.

Speaker 7 (22:32):
Yeah, Paul, Like, if you're a Packers span, you're like,
I thought that was a bit because he's holding out.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
Yeah real yeah, Hey, stop doing that. Hey, don't be
don't be kidding around about that thing. I gotta get
an epidura. No, no, you don't no, no itit's over.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (22:46):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
James in Virginia, Hi, James.

Speaker 14 (22:51):
Oh, thank you for taking my call.

Speaker 10 (22:53):
Brother.

Speaker 14 (22:53):
Happy Tuesday, DP. Damn that salute the commanders. Man got
a whole lot for you, DP. So i'mone just rail
them off, man. My worst was realizing that Ohio State
has one of the best defenses in college football. Man,
I can't stand them, man, but they have a legit defense.
Arch Manning.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
Wow.

Speaker 14 (23:12):
Even as bad as he played early in the game,
he still stood in there and threw darts down the field,
had a chance to lead his team down. I think
Texas is gonna be something special. I really Chris hit
it man. LSU is my tack to win the national championship.
I think that was a massive win, going into Clemton
and beating them, shutting them out in the second half.

(23:32):
My bestness of the weekend, though, this is the last
weekend without the nfluth, Man, let's go, and you can't
start the season without Super Bowl picks. And Draymond Green
once said it, Man, it's the Golden State Invitation on
NBA or in the NFL, it's the Kansas City Invitational.
And until someone knocked them on out of the SC
Championship game, definitely got to put them in there. I'm

(23:55):
gonna put them against the Cincinnati Bengals offensively, too much
firepower if they can just a few stops. But I'm
definitely taking Casey again. But who are they gonna face Manders? Yeah,
planning the Eagles in the game for the second year
in a row. Dan and Daniels, nothing tells me he's
not on that trajectory to be the star of the league. Man,

(24:18):
you guys have a great day. Thank you for taking
my call, Luther Commander.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Thank you, James, how new father James got a lot
of energy?

Speaker 3 (24:26):
Uh lsu one.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
It's opener for the first time since twenty nineteen, that's
when they had Joe Burrow and they went on to
win the National Championship. Andrew and Washington, Hi, Andrew, Best
and Worst of the weekend.

Speaker 11 (24:38):
Good morning, Dan, Dennis, thanks for taking my call. It's
great to be back with y'all and have you guys back.
Best of the weekend, I'm gonna go with my Florida
State Seminoles beating Alabama, stopping their streak of twenty three
straight season opening wins. My bestest of the weekend just
seeing Bill Belichick just go down in a flame of fire.

(25:00):
I don't know if this is a moniker for the
whole season, how it will go, but it was just
great to kind of see him get some of his
own medicine. I think he's just kind of run around
for a while and had his thing going on, and
it really shows that he might have not been, as
I don't know, concentrated on college football. So but my
question for you, Dan is when do we get your

(25:22):
Super Bowl pick? We just heard James in Virginia. Is
that a Thursday thing? Or when do we hear what
takes you make? So I know you dread it, but
we love it either Thursday or Friday.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
We're trying to figure that out, and I do dread
I hate making predictions, not that I might be wrong,
it's just it's always there when you watch games, and
I just like to watch a game and let it unfold.
You don't want to go okay, I picked them to win,
and then all of a sudden it changes how you're

(25:53):
watching a game rooting for a game. Did you see
where the Oregon mascot lost his head to his costume
was in the game against Montana State? Yeah, poly, I.

Speaker 7 (26:02):
Saw that play, actually, and great job, great heads up?
No pund oh by the mascot lost the head, scrambled,
covered his head with one arm, and ran into the
underneath the stadium to put the head back on.

Speaker 3 (26:15):
But do you think there are little kids going.

Speaker 9 (26:17):
Oh my god? Yes, great, great scramble to cover it up.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
It's not the first time the duck has had a
wardrobe malfunction. Also lost his head to his costume when
he tripped on the road last season against Producer.

Speaker 8 (26:30):
Has that happened multiple times? You got to find a
less clutchy duck.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
Don't you lose your job for Okay, wait a minute.
Didn't we do the sausage trace?

Speaker 8 (26:38):
Yes, I was very hot and slow, but I didn't fall,
but I almost passed up.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Yeah, but you know those things are top heavy, and
I could see where you know that could happen.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
But once it happens.

Speaker 8 (26:49):
Once, I'm not saying fire the person on the spot,
then maybe find a way to buckle that in a
little bitter so it doesn't happen.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
Ever again, you think firing the duck, huh, the headless duck.

Speaker 8 (26:58):
If you're not going to fire the duck, it just
make sure that doesn't happen a second time. You got
to keep that head on and get the extra glue.
What have you got to fasten it?

Speaker 3 (27:05):
Thank you too.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
It tuxs to be him. Buddha in San Francisco, Hi, Buddha,
welcome back.

Speaker 15 (27:12):
What up? DP?

Speaker 16 (27:13):
Happy Tuesday boys, Let's go fritzy cool. Let's just get
right to it. What happened last night in North Carolina
was just not good and DP I was thinking to myself,
how many people in the greater New England area last
night lost money? Survey says a lot. Best of the

(27:36):
weekend the opening drive of the UNC game. Dan watching
all the hype Michael Jordan perhaps you have heard of him.

Speaker 17 (27:45):
All of the luminaries, all joyful and celebrating with the
crowd was going nuts. I mean, even Fritzie must have
been getting ready to call Bill for an interview.

Speaker 14 (27:54):
Today and then May.

Speaker 17 (27:59):
And we're to the weekend and everyone treating TCU like
they were the Washington generals, and I mean realizing they
weren't for real. And then the overall general overreaction to
Texas and Ohio State game, which was choppy, shout out
Holly and under delivered as a whole. I mean, we've
been we've been spoonfed at this whole notion that Arch

(28:20):
is like, you know, he's a lock and he's gonna
be the next Hall of Famer. But just because of
his last name, I mean, we got to actually let
him play some football and find out for himself.

Speaker 14 (28:28):
Man.

Speaker 16 (28:28):
I mean, it's not good.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
Thank you Buddha.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
Yeah, I understand the hype, but Arch Manning didn't hype
himself the media did. I mean Paul Feinbaum says, he says,
go to quarterback or ready to go. I don't know
the exact words. You know, since Tim Tebow, Okay, I
praise let me just see him play. And it goes

(28:55):
back to what we've talked about. If his name was
not Manning, would you have view him differently? The answer
is yes, But he didn't hype himself, although I think
at one point the number of Arch commercials was equal
to the number of completions that he had had.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
It was two and two.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
But he got you know, his wardrobe or sunglasses, and
you know he's That's one of those where it's always
tricky that if you're playing well and you have a commercial,
you go, boy, that's good timing.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
Or if you're not playing well and you go, that's
bad timing.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Or you're watching a game and somebody is doing commercials
but they're injured, and you go, ah, that's not good.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
That's not good programming.

Speaker 7 (29:37):
Yeah, Paul, And to give perspective again, I went back
and looked Tim Tebow's first career start for Florida home
against Western Carolina, sixty two to zero, easy ramp up.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Arch Arch should be really good, should be. That doesn't
mean he's going to be And it goes back to
not great competition in high school, got high, he sat
a couple of years. He showed glimpses when he came
in for Quinn viewers, but that doesn't mean he's gonna
be the best. We already had him as the number

(30:09):
one pick in the draft, and that Nick Saban was
coming out of retirement, like we can't help ourselves because
we can't just go let me just watch. I know
it's not good radio or good TV.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
Because you got to have a take.

Speaker 10 (30:22):
Gotta have a hot take.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
He's going to be better than Peyton.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
You know, Okay, slow down, how about we just let
it unfold a little bit here, because nobody said leading
up to this, Hey, he's going against Matt Patricia, former
Patriots defensive coordinator, and he's going to give him a
lot of looks and this is going to be really checking.

Speaker 3 (30:43):
No One said that.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
It was oh Man, a lot of money coming in
on Texas and arts on the road against Ohio State
and they lost eighteen starters. And I want to hear
that perspective. I wanted to hear the perspective of Belichick
has seven new recruit, seventy players, how do you get
them to kind of congeal, how do you get them

(31:07):
to all of a sudden understand what you're supposed to do?
Really hard to do. Arch was at Ohio State. It
wasn't Ohio University. It was the Ohio State in that atmosphere,
and they're kind of good too. I just I watched,

(31:30):
and you know, obviously I was underwhelmed. I didn't expect
him to be great. I thought he would be good,
and I thought that they would have they would put
themselves in a position that they would be able to
win this game. Here is Steve Sarkisian talking about Arch manning.

Speaker 18 (31:48):
The growth throughout the game for Arch was was really
encouraging for me. We're going to be fine. Like I said,
we got work to do as a team and as
an offense, but ultimately, like I'm getting on the plane knowing,
we're going to be a good football team. And so, hey,
we didn't win tonight. That's the life of a competitor.
We went for it in a tough place against a
good team. But we'll get we'll get back on the horse,

(32:11):
and we'll play good football this season.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
Yeah, and I believe that, Yes, Yeah.

Speaker 6 (32:15):
The problem is with the storyline. You know is man,
you know that game was really winnable. If dot dot
dot maybe we didn't miss that handful of throws. Man,
if we just had a quarterback or hit those throws,
we probably would have won that game because it was
only fourteen to seven, very winnable game.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
We just needed a guy to hit two or three
more throws and we probably would have won the game. Yeah,
quinn Ewers, Quinn yours? I had.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
I had a Texas grad who said, if Quinn Yours
is quarterback, and do you think we would have beat
Oha State?

Speaker 3 (32:48):
I go, I have no idea.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
And I said, and he's like, now, wasn't It wasn't
Shane Irving, by the way, but it was.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
You know if we had quinn Ewrers, do you think
it would be? And I go, yeah, probably. I knew it.

Speaker 13 (33:02):
I knew it.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
I go give Arch a little time here, give him
a little time here. Maybe another game or two. We'll
take a break. Play the day next.

Speaker 3 (34:19):
All right, Seaton, what's the poll question?

Speaker 17 (34:21):
Ben?

Speaker 3 (34:21):
For the first hour of the program?

Speaker 6 (34:23):
Coverage that didn't match the reality? M It's the best
way I could word that. By the way, you were
at Ohio State with Ohio State and Texas, so you
took in all the festivities there.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
Iwa was, Yeah, I twa was. So I'm saving that
for my best of the weekend day. Okay, all right
for next hour? Okay, all right, So poll.

Speaker 6 (34:42):
Question, coverage that didn't match the reality not piling on here,
but Arch Manning or Bill Belichick.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
We're not talking about them. We're talking about the coverage.

Speaker 6 (34:54):
Talking about the coverage yeah, leading into the game especially,
But yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
I would say the coverage last night of TCU North Carolina,
I'm sorry, who oh TCU? Yeah that's true, I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (35:06):
Who do they play?

Speaker 2 (35:08):
And I watched probably an hour hour and a half
of coverage maybe leading up to that game, and I
felt bad for TCU, And I look, I get it.
They're they're they're selling North Carolina. That's why you're tuning in.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
I get it.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
You just gotta be careful in making sure you're covering
a game. They were covering an event, not a game.

Speaker 3 (35:38):
In my opinion.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
Uh, you know, Texas against Ohio State is still Texas
against Ohio State. It was Arch's debut, but this is
still defending national champs at home against the number one
team of the country. That felt like the coverage was
a little more fair. But yeah, they're you know, a
heavy dose of Arch And I got that. You're selling that.
Why are you tuning in? You want to see Arch Manning?

(36:01):
Why are you tuning in? You want to see Bill Belichick?
David in Ohio, Hi, David.

Speaker 13 (36:10):
Hey, Dan best of the weekend watching Ohio State beat
Shane Irvings Bexas Longhorns, Thorns down. Wow, then got something
on the Bell Belichick situation. PCU dropped forty eight on
UNC just one shy of the age gap between Bell
Belichick and his girlfriend at least hit cut off hoodie sleeves.

(36:31):
Finally makes sense. He's been trying to dress young enough
to fit in Thank.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
You all right.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
I was waiting for the age separation between him and
his girlfriend. There was a cutaway of her at the beginning.
I think that she was with the dignitaries. She might
have been there with Randy Moss, Lawrence Taylor, was there,
Mia Ham, former North Carolina soccer star Mike Jordan was there, Yeah, paulm.

Speaker 9 (36:58):
Yeah, if you had the under on cutaway shots, you
would have won.

Speaker 3 (37:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
I don't know if there was a let's not show her,
but Michael Jordan that was the only Jordan I wanted
to see. But yeah, I want to know how like
I would have had cutaways? Were they there in the
fourth quarter? The dignitaries probably weren't there. I'm gonna guess

(37:23):
Mike had is his private jet fired up Garrett in
Salt Lake.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
Hi, Garrett, what's on your mind today?

Speaker 19 (37:30):
Yeah? Hey, Dan, I have two bests of the weekend
and one worst. My first is my Uta Stay Aggies
won our home opener against UTEP, so that was pretty exciting.
Second is I was wearing my CSU baseball shirts over
the weekend and somebody commented on it, which leads to
my worst. I couldn't find any coverage on Krapenberg State

(37:54):
this year, so I was wondering if you or the
IT team could sit if they were involved in any blowouts.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
Crappensburg State, good call. They beat Skidmore Garrick's Yeah, I
got that out. Yeah they beat Skidmore by a deuce
and uh but yeah, no blowout there. But Crappensburg State
is one to Oh, let's go for two? Yeah they do, Yes,
they do.

Speaker 3 (38:17):
Zach and Knoxville. Hi, Zach, what's on your mind?

Speaker 15 (38:21):
Hey, DP, thanks for taking my call. I'm gonna try
to get this out in one breath like James in Virginia.
That's the weekend was watching the buck Eyes whoop up
on Texas. And on that same note, the worst of
the weekend is seeing Matt Patricia with a pencil in
his ear and a laminated play call sheet.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
Yeah, I don't know what he uses the pencil for.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
What's he If the play sheet is laminated, you're probably
not going to be able to write anything on wax pencils.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
How about a sharpie there in la I guess what's
on your mind today?

Speaker 10 (39:04):
Good morning, miss Patrick. How were you and the boys?
Hope you boys had a good weekend? Will The best
of the weekend is that we're back, right, We're back.
We're good. My sc Trojans hung seventy three and it
was against the junior college from Missouri, I think, but
hey man, it was still good, still great, We're back.

(39:25):
Worst of the weekend. I went to the Dodger game
on Saturday. Tyler Glass now carries a no hitter into
the sixth inning, Dodgers still lose six to one. Awesome.
And then just the overreaction for the weekend. Arch Manning.
I'm like sitting there like me and my boys were
in a group chat. Everyone's roasting him, and I'm like,

(39:46):
am I the only one that knows that this is
his first actual, like legitimate opener against the defending national
champion on the road. I was like, if this was
against an FCS team, I'd be like yo, like yeah,
like let's up, Like the pitches and you know, pitchforks
and all that came out at them. But I'm like, yo,
if he plays the next two games like this, all right,

(40:09):
you good. I think it's a massive ove reaction. However,
Bill Belichick, Yeah no, you got to quit, brother.

Speaker 3 (40:16):
Thank you guys.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
Just give it a little time, Caitlin de board Alabama,
all right, a little time, Belichick and Carolina, a little time, Arch,
a little time.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
Just be fair to the story, the situation, the people involved.

Speaker 7 (40:35):
Yes, Paul Nick Saban's first year at Alabama two thousand
and seven, he was seven and six.

Speaker 9 (40:40):
He lost his last four games, including at home to U. L. Monroe.
It was not a raving success.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
Our two on the way, Robert Griffin Junior the third
will join us. We'll check in with the Carolina tar
Heels as well. Albert Breer, the Monday morning quarterback as well.
Busy two hours on this Tuesday coming up. I hope
you can stay with us. Fritzie Seat and Marv Paula
