Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We did it. It was a group effort. We made
it to a Friday, and yes it is a meet Friday.
The sun is out, morale is high, and the triggers
are on. They're heating up. We have Dominican style roast
pork shoulder. We have rice and beans. We have Baja
fish tacos. Who has it better than we do? No
(00:28):
by body, Player of the Day, poll question stat of
the Day, all of that forthcoming sports day and night
that turned out to be far more interesting than I
thought it was going to be. Certainly with the results
of the Giants and the Eagles, we'll recap everything. Devin mccordy,
former Super Bowl winning defensive back now working for NBC Sports,
will stop by more on Bill Belichick's future at North
(00:51):
Carolina a little bit later on. By the way, North
Carolina has the weekend off, then they go to Cow
and there was speculation that Bill might not even be
the coach. When North Carolina goes to Cow, we'll chop
up the college football weekend as well. Your phone call
is always welcome eight seven to seven three DP Show

(01:15):
morning if you're watching on Peacock, our streaming partner. Game
five Tigers at the Mariners coming up later on tonight.
Dodgers close out the Phillies in eleven innings to head
back to the NLCS. The Cubs are still alive. They
handle the Brewers. Game five will be Saturday night. The
big story the Giant's upsetting the Eagles. Three touchdowns for
(01:38):
Cam Skataboo. And I go back to the draft. Now,
if you follow the show, you know that I was
high on Jackson Dark. My source said that he had
a first first round great on him. I got to
see him probably play three or four full games at
Ole Miss, and I liked what I saw. He had mobility,
And you're playing for Lane Kiffin. Lane Kiffin is a
(02:00):
offensive minded head coach. He certainly has a lot of
swagger at that position. Transfer in from USC. And then
Cam Skataboo, who we got to see kind of late
in his career, and you got to see something that
we thought was really special, different, interesting. But I didn't
know if he was going to be maybe too slow
(02:21):
or too limited to play at this level. I do
know if the ball's on the one or two yard line.
I know who's getting it. But with Jalen Carter not
in there, last night, they ran right up the middle
and Scataboo had three touchdowns. By the way, the last
Giant to have three touchdowns in a game Saquon Barkley.
(02:42):
That was also in his rookie season. But surprise, surprise,
and you know you're seeing something. And granted it's the
embryonic stages here with the Giants, but we talked about this.
They were going to stay with Russell, and they were
going to stay with him for maybe a month, and
then you were going to ease in to Jackson Dart
because if you ease into Jackson Dart, now, if you
(03:04):
have success, if ownership looks at this and says, maybe
we have something here, let's not make a change at
the head coach, coaching position or the GM and that
might be what happened or happens. I know that when
we looked at Russ, I thought maybe they were going
to play Russ longer than they should. But maybe they
thought we got to win games, because if we don't
(03:24):
win games with this schedule, we won't make it to
the second half of the season. Now you have something
interesting there, and maybe maybe Jackson Dart will save Brian
Daball's career. Also Joe Shane the GM And maybe they
were reaches, you know, maybe it was a reach in
the first round for Jackson Dart, maybe Cam Scautaboo of
(03:46):
fourth round draft pick. You weren't quite sure. But you
have hope. And they don't have any weapons on offense.
I mean, I'm looking at the wide receivers and I go,
huh who. But they somehow made something happen last night.
And the only thing that I would say is Jackson Dart,
(04:07):
I love your mobility, but I want you to continue
to have mobility. Slide. Don't take on DBS. Nobody cares.
You don't have to be a tough guy. Slide slide
because all it takes is you. And you got nicked
up and they put him in the concussion tent. But
that's where Brian Dable, the head coach, is right outside.
(04:28):
It's almost like, come on, let's go, you're good, come on,
here we go, And all of a sudden, Jackson Dart
comes back out and it's like, okay, I guess he
passed a concussion protocol, but his head coach Brian Dable
talked about Jackson Dart's performance.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Good team win cats a division team on a road
or at home should I say home? Crowd was awesome,
But we got to give him a reason to be
awesome too. So another good game by a rookie quarterback,
but another good game from everybody around him. And that's
where we need it. You know, it's not about one guy,
it's about a team. Two turnovers on defense, very good
(05:09):
third down execution on offense, rand the ball well, finish
the game. It's good to have a young.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Leader like Dart.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Okay, maybe a little more emotion, a little more enthusiasm there, Brian,
you might have saved your job. Stat of the Day

better get Maco all right? Eight seven to seven to
(05:40):
three DP Show operator Tyler sitting by. He'll take your
phone calls. Recap the baseball and the Dodgers made it interesting.
Great pitching last night. That was fun, fun to watch
and here is the final call of the Dodgers moving
on to the NLCS. Art rates through the room. The
(06:01):
oh one pitch PA has grounds it back to Cookery.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
He can't find it.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
He does home pit's hide, Tim Scores and the.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
Dodgers are going to the Championship Series. Fire Works go
off in center field.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
The Dodgers celebrate your first base on a dround ball
back to the pitcher.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Andy Pots somehow gets the job done.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
That's courtesy of a five seventy only sports Dodgers radio network.
So you got bases loaded to come back to back
or to Cookering, and he is looking to make a
play at home and he doesn't have to. He can
go to first and get the out. But he pauses
and it's almost as if he took his eye off
the ball and the glove, you know, his glove and
the batter, and he got lost. He got caught in
(06:50):
no man's land. Kim Scores. Kim actually missed home plate
and then came back and touched home plate. But a
while and we were talking about the worst way to lose,
and it's a walk off air, and that's what happened.
Here is Rob Thompson, the Phillies manager on what he
said to his pitcher after the loss.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
Rob obviously a heartbreaking way to lose.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Quickly had a long conversation with O.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Ryan coming off the field.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
Do you want to share a little what you told him?
Just to keep his head up? And he just got
caught up in the moment a little bit coming down
the stretcher. He pitched so well for us, and I
feel for him because he's he's putting it all on
his shoulders. But we went as a team and we
lose as a teams.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I couldn't help but think of spring training because if
you've ever gone to spring training and you get there early,
not for a game, but just when they're doing drills.
One of the first drills you do is that you
have a comebacker to the pitcher and then he throws
to first base. I mean, these are really menial task
that you're doing as a pitcher. It's like, okay, you
(07:54):
got it, comebacker, and then you throw over to first base,
and then the next picture comes in, the next picture
comes in. It's all just everybody's doing the same repetition here,
and you know, you kind of put yourself on automatic
pilot until you're in a moment when the season is
on the line, and a comebacker, and really you were
prepared to make the play at first base because your
(08:16):
body was squared up to home plate to get the ball.
You don't have to try to get the play at
the at home plate, get the out at first base,
had plenty of time to do so. But in these moments,
and I don't know if somebody says, hey, if it
comes back to you, you got the easy out at
first base, these are little things. And your catcher is
(08:36):
pointing to first base like that's the play, and then
he throws home, and the catcher is you know, it
was wide. He had no chance there, but your catcher
is going throw it first, and all of a sudden
he's throwing at home, and then it was too late.
Speaker 8 (08:51):
Yes, ton as unforgivable as it may seem. And you
learn that in the Little league and all that kind
of stuff. In the moment, in your preferal vision, when.
Speaker 9 (08:58):
The season and the all on.
Speaker 8 (09:00):
The line and you see that runner right in front
of you coming home, I can in that split second,
I can understand like, I gotta get this right.
Speaker 9 (09:06):
It's right in front of me. I gotta flip it
to the catcher for the tag.
Speaker 8 (09:09):
And that's just you know, he deserves the criticism and
it sucks at this season ended like that. But I
can understand somehow that you thought, let me get him
at home. I'm not sure if I could make the
throw at first, how far down the runner is.
Speaker 9 (09:20):
And I got this right in front of me.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Appen if the catcher's pointing to first base, that's your indicator.
But the catcher should be saying and reminding him, hey,
come backer, you got the easy out at first. I mean,
this is all baseball one oh one. It's not hindsight.
It's just baseball one oh one. Get the out of first,
that's all. You don't have to try to, you know,
because the play at home, I know you're gonna get
(09:43):
a force, but you still got to make sure you
get the right throw. I was surprised Kim didn't slide
because I would have gone in there and made it
even tougher for the catcher, and he didn't. Maybe he
was shocked that they were coming home instead of going
to first. But the Dodgers advanced to the NLCS. They'll
wait for the winner of the in the Cubs. Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 10 (10:02):
Yeah, you remember in little league when the catcher would
go a two outs plays till wherever plays the first.
That's probably what they should have done, because he knew
right then and there. I think he got caught up
in he saw the runner going home as soon as
he bobbled the ball. That was the first thing. He
bobbled the ball, and he looked up and he panicked,
and he saw the guy ready to score. I don't
even think he was looking towards first base at all,
or the catcher.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Well, you know in that kind of I guess situation
where you're thinking, boy, if he scores, then we lose. Well,
his run doesn't count if you get the out at first.
And that's where you just remind, you remind that's all.
I mean, that's why there's a scoreboard out there that
tells you how many outs. But what happens, you know,
you get one out and shortstop and go all right,
(10:44):
one down, one down, you know, everybody holding up two down,
two down. I was just surprised that and maybe they
did that. Hey, the easy out, go to first, that's
where we want to go.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
Well, yeah, see, as soon as you bobble that ball,
everything he just said went out the window.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Yes, you do.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
As soon as you bobble the ball, he panicked and
throw the ball to the wrong place, even looking at
his catcher.
Speaker 9 (11:07):
Who was pointing to first.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
He's still threw it at the catcher because you panic. Yeah, Paulin.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
And the most cruel thing about baseball is he's standing
there on the mound after the play and the Dodgers
are celebrating around him. He can't escape. He's got to
walk off casual. Yet that's tough.

We'll get to your phone calls on this Friday, Seaton.
What's poll question for the first hour of the program,
Worst Night Phillies Eagles. Well, Philly's because the season's over.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Yeah, but the Eagles got cooked by a horrible Giants
team rival.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yeah, that's but terrible. The Eagles don't have to reinvent themselves,
they have to rediscover themselves, and I think they've kind
of lost who they are. What's their identity. You're throwing
the ball an awful lot. You went away from Saquon
Barkley in the second half of the game. And I
give the Giants credit. They played and like this game
(12:13):
really meant something to them. Playing at home. Jackson Dark
played well, the defense played well. But I would say
the Phillies because the season is over. The Eagles we
got a long way to go.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
Yeah, Saquon opened the game just ripping off two monster
runs and it's like, Okay, here we go. This is
going to be the game plan for to do this,
you know, latherhrints, repeat for the rest of the night,
and you're walking away with an easy dub here.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
And you know, the giant situation, that momentum at a
home and I wondered, you know, are they going to
have that home field advantage and being a seven point underdog,
And it felt like that. Although I felt bad for
Russell Wilson he came in for one play in the
fans booed, come on, I'd say, you're better than that,
but I don't know if you. I mean, it's russ
(13:02):
is not going in there to try to fail. The
ball was tipped that he threw and then you know,
you boo him.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
What are you booing him for?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
What the heck? I don't know. I don't know, but
but you have something with Jackson Dark. He at least
keeps them interesting, keeps them relevant, that that he is
a watchable performer, and Skataboo is not afraid of anybody. Yeah,
I don't know if he's going to be a good
running back, but boy, he he runs like you just
(13:29):
said something about his family, he's he's going after he
runs angry. It's it's like somebody's gonna hurt This is
gonna hurt me, but it's gonna hurt you more. And
that's when when I watch him, there's a combination of
Marshawn Lynch and Larry Zonka when I when I watch him,
it's I'm taking on contact and this is going to
(13:51):
hurt you more than it's gonna hurt me.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Yeah, Paul, I'm looking at Skataboo's draft profile five nine
and a half two hundred and twenty pounds, and the
only criticisms were break a speed, cutting ability, the basics,
but they include that he runs like a maniac. He
actually says maniac.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
Kinda sorry, sorry ahead, go ahead. The Giants do kind
of have something with that tandem though they both have
for what is essentially like a swagless team.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
Those two fellas have a little bit of it where
it's like, man, we might be able to build around this.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Well, Seaton is referencing the hope meter, which we unveiled
at this time last year, and right now the New
York Giants are high on the hope meter, not high
on the chance to make the playoffs meter. There's two
different things, hopometer, the hopometer, the hopometer or the hopometer,
whichever the hope meter the hopometer is depending where you're from.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
By the way, we'll have the most must win game
of the weekend coming up a little bit later on
Interesting College Football Weekend, Great College Football Weekend, and UH
Ohio State, Illinois, Bama, Missouri, Indiana, Oregon, OU, Texas, Florida
A and M Florida versus Texas A and M Michigan USC.
This one, to me, I think it's must see TV
(15:02):
because USC has Michigan, then Notre Dame, and later in
the season they have Oregon. So if this is two
thousand and four and USC is four and one, they're
ranked in the top ten they're not ranked. They're four
and one. That's how far they've fallen and still waiting
for the end. You have the tough loss at Illinois,
(15:25):
but this is a you better win at home against Michigan,
and then you got Notre Dame at Notre Dame and
a little bit later on Oregon. A lot of college
football matchups that we'll dive into today eight seven seven,
three d p show. We'll talk to you about the
poll questions settle on that coming up here on this
meet Friday. We're back after this.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 11 (15:55):
He's Mike Carmen, I'm Dan Bayern. We have a brand
new fantasy football podcast called I Want Your Flex. Twice
a week, every Tuesday and Friday, we come up with
new episodes to not only look back at what happened,
what you need to do at that minute, and also
look ahead of what's coming up in the fantasy football world.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
That's right, Dan.
Speaker 12 (16:15):
Every week we're going to scour the waiver wire to
find the pickups to turbot boost your fantasy lineup, six starts,
Fantasy football players rankings.
Speaker 9 (16:24):
To get you ready to dominate the competition.
Speaker 11 (16:26):
Listen to I Want Your Flex with Mike Carmon and
me Dan Beyer on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts and
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Just the second time the Eagles, Phillies, and Flyers all
lost on the same day. Last time that happened was
October of nineteen eighty three. By the way, I don't
know if it's out of necessity or desperation, but Jackson
Darters rushed for over fifty yards in all three of
his first NFL starts. Now. The only other quarterbacks who
(16:56):
have done that in their first three starts in the
last fifty years Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts. So Jackson
Dart in good company. But it feels like Lamar Jackson's
are more designed and same with Jalen Hurts. Where Jackson
Dart had felt like it was starting to break down.
(17:17):
I better try to make something happen. Here is the
call we gave you, the Dodgers version of the game
winning play. Here's the Phillies call of the end of
their season.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
The O one swinging a broken back cutbacker Kirkering knocks
it down, picks it up, thurs Wild.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
They hold to the back stop and the season is over.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
The Dodgers rushing out pasted o'rian Kirkering, who stands with
his hands on his knees bent over.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
That's the Phillies Radio Network and that's the way it ended.
So now the Dodgers await the Brewers or the cut I.
Speaker 9 (17:55):
Saw some enthusiasm. Then I appreciated that. It's nice thing.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Okay, So in a losing effort, you were fine with that.
Speaker 9 (18:00):
You gotta get called. What you're seeing doesn't always go
your way.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Gino in Virginia, Hi, Gino, what's on your mind?
Speaker 9 (18:09):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Dan Patrick and the NaNs love you guys, Thank you,
long time listener, septing time caller.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
You guys, hear me?
Speaker 13 (18:17):
Yeah, oh okay, hey my Dodgers man.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
All my nails are gone, some of my skin is gone.
He's bleeding.
Speaker 12 (18:26):
Uh that play, he didn't touch home plate.
Speaker 8 (18:29):
When I went back to the video several times and
then I seen him head back, I.
Speaker 14 (18:34):
Want to know if he touched home plate because I don't.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Think he did the first time. No, he didn't touch
the first time. But that's why he went back, but
the catcher didn't catch the ball, so play was over.
He did come back and touch home plate. But thank
you for the phone call. Gino uh John in Texas?
Hi John, what's on your mind?
Speaker 15 (18:56):
Hey Dan?
Speaker 16 (18:57):
Thanks for having me on first time, long time.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Six foot point eight.
Speaker 16 (19:03):
Just had two comments about some of the broadcasts this week. First,
they just wanted to give a quick props to John Smoltz.
From a guy that literally listens to hundreds of sports
broadcasts a year, he's easily the best college commentator in
the game, just as a way of simplifying the game
for the casual fan, but also gives those nuggets for
the baseball nerds like me.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Hope you can have them on the show.
Speaker 16 (19:26):
Love hearing the interviews. But secondly, I was able to
get the quad box rolling and caught some of the
Middle Tennessee State Missouri State game.
Speaker 13 (19:35):
So listen to our boys, Chase Daniel and the call.
Speaker 17 (19:38):
I feel like you have the.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Future in the business. Not just saying that because I'm
on the zoo.
Speaker 16 (19:42):
Grad have a good weekend, guys, am I the all right?
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Thank you John? Yeah, Chase Daniel doing a game on
Wednesday night, you know, when you get these former players
or former coaches, if they come in with the right attitude,
and that is I know football, but I don't know TV,
I don't know radio, then they have a chance to
do something. It's when you come in with a preconceived idea.
And I've mentioned before there have been players and there
(20:08):
have been coaches who went through the Mothership in my
eighteen years there, and some were, ay, I know what
I'm doing. Other ones were like, tell me how to
do this. Same thing with Football Night in America with
Rodney Harrison and Tony Dungee. They came in and said,
treat us like rookies, and I did, just trying to
have them understand how to do this play by play
(20:31):
and being an analyst, I know what I'm listening for.
I haven't done it enough where I'm trying to set
up somebody that way. But I thought Chase Chase as
a bright future because he puts in the homework. That's
the key that the longer you've been away from the game,
the less connected you are, which means now you have
(20:51):
to do more homework there because these rosters turn over.
You got to stay ahead of the game and sometimes
you can be doing a marquee game or you have
a marque position and then you lose sight of what
helped you get to that point. Red in Georgia, Hi, Red,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 15 (21:11):
Good morning, Dan, and thanks for taking the call.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Dan.
Speaker 15 (21:13):
We're gonna miss you for stuff like this because you're
the only one and honestly answer the question that I
got and be and let me know if I'm just
reaching or not. It's bothered me now that I'm finding
out that ESPN has a sports where you could go
gamble and place this and I think the relationship with
ESPN and what they got the NFL, I think, if
(21:36):
it ain't now later on, can this be a big
conflict with gambling and gamblers and who is monitoring what
ESPN get to know it when they get to know it?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Well, it's and I know what you're saying. When there's
information and you've got Adam Schefter, is he getting information
before somebody else. There's a lot of different outs that
are doing gambling. Do I like the look for ESPN
and gambling? I do not read. I do not at all.
But it's big business and that's the bottom line. It's
(22:09):
all this is you know when the commissioner of the
NFL what thirteen years ago, Oh, we'll never be in
business with gamblers. And I said at the time, yes
they will, Yes they will. Eventually, you'll find out find
out how to divvy up the pie. That's all this is.
And then they started to look at this and they go, oh,
my gosh, there's that much money. You know, owners own
(22:31):
part of you know, these sites that help you gamble
owners in the NFL. So it's dangerous. And if you
do it for entertainment, then you know, good for you.
But if you do it because you think you're going
to make money, you're sadly mistaken. But I didn't like
it's just too close with ESPN and having your own
(22:55):
gambling book. I don't like the look of it. But look,
I'm in the minority. I'm not in the demo that
they're going after. But I do not like that at all.
Zach and Knoxville, Hey Zach, what's on your mind?
Speaker 13 (23:09):
ADP, Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Just one observation.
Speaker 18 (23:12):
I feel like Jackson Dart looked a lot like a
young Russell Wilson, kind of scrambling to get the pass
off and just want to get your thoughts on Brian
Dayball going full Bud Kilmer last night, trying to get
into the medical tent and see what was up with
Jackson Dart. Do you think there should be an NFL
official there to keep him away?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Well, I think there was. There's supposed to be a
neutral medical examiner whatever the title is. But you know,
you didn't have to kind of read between the lines
of what was happening. It was Brian Dable and Jackson
Dart's in that tent and damn it, let's go. I
think he's good. I'm guessing it takes a little bit
(23:55):
longer with concussion protocol than what it did last night.
One play. I was just kind of surprised at that.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Yeah, Paulie, I thought last night was a I when
you wear it great but a real example of what
players and coaches think about player safety. In the moment
of a tight game on national TV, where you're trying
to keep your job, if you're the coach or trying
to establish yourself as a player, they don't let the
coach into the medical tent, but they could let his
words in and Kaylee Hartung, the reporters like Brian daboll
(24:25):
is yelling let's get this going and moving his finger,
and you can hear Jackson Dart yelling back like I
got this. I'm good, I'm good. I mean it's it
was a wild scene.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah, it's not a good look for everybody, but you're
right in the moment. You know, Oh, we care about
somebody's health. This is this is real. This is what
the NFL is all about. You know, we care about
your health. As long as your health can help us.
We need you out there. Let's go, come on, he's good.
(24:56):
It was almost mocking the concussion protocol in the moment there.
Let's see Keith and Charlotte. Hi, Keith, what's on your
mind today?
Speaker 16 (25:06):
Hey?
Speaker 15 (25:07):
Dan?
Speaker 12 (25:07):
How was the one that called a few weeks ago
about the Panthers making it the Super Bowl with all
those crazy stats and then with Pouli saying the hope
meters high, Well, my hope beaters high. Bryce is playing
better here and there, Uh he stops making the mistakes
for three to two defense stepping up with that. It
all starts this weekend with Dallas. Okay, be.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Panthers beat Dallas.
Speaker 13 (25:32):
Anyone want it?
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Does anybody want a piece of Keith and Charlotte that
the Panthers beat the Cowboys.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
Paul, I'm actually on his side. I will co opt
his side of the idn't want it.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Okay, the Cowboys are favored by three in Carolina. Okay,
no takers here, Keith. You know, maybe maybe we're showing
you some respect for the Panthers. Good this weekend, Lucas
and Texas. Hi, Luke, welcome.
Speaker 13 (26:03):
Back, Hey Dan, good morning.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
Y Yeah, just a couple of quick bits.
Speaker 13 (26:10):
I did think that the Giant's behavior was pretty inappropriate
with Jackson Guard's possible concussion. It just kind of made
a mockery the whole thing. But going to baseball, you know,
last night kind of just affirmed to me that all
dynasties hit a kind of a thresh threshold where, you know,
they they win, and then all of a sudden people
start losing around them. I think that this is it's
(26:31):
almost gonna be the Dodgers versus any other team, any
other fan base, and everyone's going to go with either
the American League team, or the Brewers or the Cubs.
I just feel like there's going to be kind of
this desire for a new fresh flood. And one quick
bit is Todd Fritz allowed to give picture fielding advice
because we all know that. You know, he did six
out or six innings with eighteen strikeouts, so what does
(26:53):
he know about fielding the position. He's such a good
strikeout pitcher.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
You know.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Well, that's a great point by Lucas that you don't
know anything about fielding because nobody was able to touch
your heat.
Speaker 8 (27:03):
I've had a couple of balls hitting my way, and
I'm sure there were times when I threw it to
the wrong base when Little league and made some mistakes
and had the manager give me a little talking to.
But yeah, and when I was one of those strikeout
home run kind of pitchers were always talking about the strike.
Speaker 9 (27:15):
At home run batters.
Speaker 8 (27:16):
I'm usually either giving it up for a long ball
or k and somebody.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
You were bringing cheese back in little league kind it was.
Speaker 8 (27:24):
And as soon as the manager saw me try to
throw a curveball, he gave me a little finger and said,
we're not doing that anymore.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Kelly in Tennessee, Hi, Kelly, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 17 (27:35):
Hey, mis Dan, this is I got two things for you.
I got what's your least favorite habit of the Dennets
or most annoying. And I got the second thing is
how long do you think Skataboo got in the league?
If he plays like that was his heads down, trying
to always take a hit.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I don't know, but I don't know if he's thinking
about what his career life SPAN's going to be. I
think he's just trying to make the team play and
get maybe a second contract. But I mean, I love
the look of it. I don't know how sustainable it is,
but I do know I don't worry about that guy
wanting to play, play hurt, play hard. Whatever you need
(28:16):
me to do. You want me to block, you want
me to catch passes, you want me to run straight
ahead into the wall, I'm going to do that. And
that's contagious because there was this story it might have
been on ESPN dot com and they talked about his
teammates talked about Cam Skataboo and they all kind of
said the same thing. The guy says whatever he wants
to say, like he's crazy, but in a good way.
(28:39):
And we saw that at Arizona State. And you know
when you see him play and you're like, boy, he
plays differently, and he done it. He invites contact and
the way he's built, and you can you can tell
that he's played against some defenders who are like, damn,
you know, keep keep running hard like they know it
(29:01):
and you know it's not sustainable. But maybe he does
it for three, four or five years.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
Yeah, Pauline Scataboo was on the postgame show last night
and he ripped his shirt off with Fitzpatrick. He looked
like every guy in the parking lot tailgating a giant game.
Big scratchy dude, thick, big huge neck. Awesome.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
It's like throwback. That's throwback to the sixties seventies. You're
running right up the middle and I did. I thought
about Larry Zonka and Marshawn Lynch, where it's just this
is gonna hurt you. It'll hurt me a little bit,
it's gonna hurt you as well. You know. Zonka was
just a straight ahead guy for the Miami Dolphins, big guy,
(29:43):
but Scataboo loaded the ground, leverage and not afraid of
taking on content. All right, we have a birthday game.
Paulie is the host of the birthday game. Could you
explain what the game is?
Speaker 5 (29:57):
Yeah, we have a birthday today in the building it
is Todd Fritz is birthday today. Guys surprised he didn't
announce it already.
Speaker 9 (30:08):
It was all I could do say it.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
We were still singing Todd.
Speaker 9 (30:13):
At about nine o two twelve. I'm like, if they
don't say happy birthday, I'm just gonna blurt it out
of there.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
I pulled the band aid because I could tell I
can feel Todd over my shoulder.
Speaker 13 (30:20):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (30:20):
With three minutes of their show and no ignol birthday,
these guys.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
I'm wanna name other famous people born on this day
and stop me when I get to someone less famous
than Todd Fritz. Who's ready? People born on October tenth?
Dan Dale Earnhardt Junior? Okay, David Lee Roth very famous.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
By the way. Do you see his last outing his concert?
Oh dear solo, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 9 (30:46):
What happened?
Speaker 17 (30:48):
It was.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
If I just played the music and you would say, boy,
that sounds like somebody is in the bar doing karaokey.
Speaker 6 (30:58):
It's as close to a real snl skit as I've
ever seen. He's sort of talking like, oh my gosh, dude, I.
Speaker 9 (31:10):
Heard it was a bosey bozy flop.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
Would you guys be fine going to a van Halen
concert and David Lee Roth is lip syncing and everyone
knows it.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
No, I would, No, I think you might be oh,
I wouldn't go to the concert.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
But if you were going and you're like, oh, he's
lip syncing, but he's jumping around having fun and the
music sounds like the.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Music, Well no, because there's no Eddie van Halen. Yeah,
that's true. He's the drug, So I would. I would
go for ed but uh, And I always like David
Lee Roth as a front man. And you know, Sammy
Hagar is a better singer, but David Lee Roth was
great front man. But no, if he's lip syncing now,
and and know Eddie Vedder or Eddie van Halen, So no,
(31:51):
not interested. Who else? Birthday boys born on this date?
Speaker 5 (31:54):
How about actor Bradley Whitford? Is Fritzy more famous than him?
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Who does not know?
Speaker 5 (31:59):
Bradley west Wing very popular in the west Wing. He
was in that movie get Out. Yeah, but been in
a lot of stuff. Yes, Okay, Mary Todd's not more

O Lopez.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
Actor Ben Vereen. Mmm, he had a big, big career
in the seventies and eighties, but maybe now Todd he's kind.
Speaker 9 (32:33):
Of old news, Ben.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Yeah. How dare you, sir, at least a push? You know,
come on the family. I'm sticking up for them. How
dare you? Actress Rose mc ivor, Rose mcguver. I don't, Okay,
I think we have a winner.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
She was on Ghosts on CBS.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Rose mc ivor, m.
Speaker 5 (32:59):
Okay, I think Todd wins that one. Amy t Garden,
the actress from Friday Night Lights, the daughter of coach Taylor.
I think I think Todd has he all right, that's
the game.
Speaker 10 (33:10):
All right, He ain't more famous than Ben Vereen.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
How about Brett Favre more positive vibes? Yes, having a
better run. Todd's having a better run lately.
Speaker 9 (33:24):
Yeah, but I'm in a pass hole lately, so I
don't know. It could be a push at this point.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
Oh okay, the team, all right, what do you have time?
Speaker 9 (35:15):
We've got?
Speaker 8 (35:16):
How much blame is Orion Kirkering deserve for the Philly
season coming to an end?
Speaker 9 (35:21):
All of it? Most of it? Just a little They
should have scored a few more runs.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
It's a team loss, Ryan, Uh, just a little bit, just.
Speaker 9 (35:31):
A little bit. Yeah, a lot of people think it's
most are all probably.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Well, they could have scored more runs.
Speaker 9 (35:41):
Did I call him Orion? By the way, it's Orion
like the constellation, like the Milky Way. Yes, not an
orion bagel. Second one, When a team makes a mistake
costs you.
Speaker 8 (35:53):
A big game, your immediate reaction to him or is
to get angry, be consoling, slash supportive, ignore him or
her for a while, give them space.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
I would console them immediately.
Speaker 8 (36:06):
Yes, I think I'd stay away from them for a while,
then eventually, you know, send them a text message a
few hours.
Speaker 9 (36:10):
They don't worry about.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
The egle.
Speaker 8 (36:13):
The Eagles are going to be and the Eagles are
dot dot dot going to be just fine, take a
chill pill or in some trouble here.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
I think they have to rediscover who they are, who
they've been. That's not one of the choices I know,
but I would say I have they They're fine, They're
gonna They're gonna be. They have too much talent to
not be. They might not win the Super Bowl, but
they have too much talent to not go to the playoffs.
Speaker 10 (36:41):
Yes, Marvin is Nick Sirianni back on the hot seat.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Oh, I don't know, because he won the Super Bowl.
That's not one of the choices either, Thank you, Todd.
Speaker 9 (36:49):
After last night's excessive use of the tush push, I
now believe dot dot the NFL must get rid of it.
They should still.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Allow it, Okay, I don't have a problem with it
because the Eagles have mastered it. It just doesn't look
good when you run the tush push four consecutive times aesthetically,
and then you know the entertainment portion of the NFL.
I don't think it's I don't think it's in the
league next year. I just think they're more there's more
(37:15):
and more momentum against it, and if the Eagles don't
win the Super Bowl, then it's easier to say, you know,
we're going to take it out, instead of they won
the Super Bowl. We can't take it out because then
it looks like the rest of the league is ganging
up on the Eagles.
Speaker 8 (37:29):
Yes, Todd, I have one more fun one, if you'll
humor me on my birthday. I know five is a lot,
but maybe this is This may be the best one.
Speaker 9 (37:35):
I think.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
How about a good one?
Speaker 1 (37:38):
I'm over for four. Here we go.
Speaker 8 (37:39):
When I hear the name Bill Belichick today, my first
thought is, and here's your five choices. The genius who
won all those Super Bowls with the Patriots, the debate
who deserves more credit him or Brady? The embarrassing start
of the North Carolina tar Heels, the boss, his much
younger girlfriend Jordan Hudson, or the fifth one. What I'm
(38:00):
seventy three, and if everything is still functioning properly, I
hope my wife would be amenable to a twenty four
year old joining us in the bedroom.
Speaker 9 (38:06):
It can't hurt to ask, right.
Speaker 5 (38:08):
Come on, it can't hurt to ask that's not involved
in what he's doing day to day.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Yeah, yeah, there's not you know a wife in there
with him.
Speaker 9 (38:16):
That's the wild card. Fifth choice. That's the one that
I put in parentheses, but I said it out loud,
too far off the board.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Yeah, man, it's your birthday. Or I would run you
out of here today.
Speaker 9 (38:27):
Run me for that.
Speaker 8 (38:28):
Yeah, I would like to know what you which one
you would take of those? When you think of Bill Belichick.
What's the first thing that comes to mind today?
Speaker 2 (38:34):
A North Carolina mess? Okay, yeah, fair enough.
Speaker 9 (38:38):
That would be choice number three.
Speaker 8 (38:39):
Or see the embarrassing start at North Carolina For those
playing at home.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Thank you Todd, Happy birthday. Thank you Teddy in South Carolina.
Hi Teddy, what's on your mind?
Speaker 4 (38:49):
Hey guys, six one to ten, longtime first time Dan
love the show and what you all do. I'm considering
retiring on the same day you retire, so let's keep
up the good work. I have an idea relative to
Fritzy's T shirt, and I'm trying to get in for
several days. I think there should be an option where
(39:10):
it's in reverse, where he can see it in the
rear view mirror. Maybe it's a license plate, maybe it's
a T shirt. To consider selling the reverse version and
a zipper Merge is there on purpose. Don't all line
up in the left He's supposed to keep going. It
works for everybody.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Thank you, Thank you, Jeddy, Thank you Chris and Syracuse
Hi Chris.
Speaker 14 (39:32):
Hey, Thanks Dan. He had two things to throw at you.
Number One, I heard Lebron is out four to six
weeks with sciatica, and I'm wondering. He's forty years old,
this is twenty third year in the league. He still
had the will, the stamina, and mainly the desire to
keep to keep going, fighting through all these nagging injuries.
And then last night I heard a contributing factor to
(39:56):
why the medical staff for the Eagles held Jailing Car
out was how awful met Life turf is. And if
that's the case, you think the NFL would do something
about it, especially since they're so worried about injuries.
Speaker 4 (40:08):
And I know all the other.
Speaker 14 (40:09):
Countries in the world when the World Cup comes, they're
not playing out it. They're switching them all over to grass.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Yeah, and Jalen Carter had a heel injury, I believe,
and then they kept him out of that game, which
is pretty remarkable. Sciatica, I've had it. I was in
New York and I was in there for they were
giving out the Sportsmen of the Year, Sports Illustrated Sportsman
of the Year. I was going to host it, Michael
Phelps was going to be Sportsmen of the Year. Come
(40:37):
down to the lobby and all of a sudden boom
hit me and I had to crawl out of the
hotel into a car and I had to have it
take me home. And Dick Ever saw the former head
of NBC Sports, they brought him in to host the
Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year.
Speaker 5 (40:58):
Yes, Paul, was it like that scene in Wolfe Wall
Street where DiCaprio's highs and he's crawling to the Lamborghini.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Yes, I'm not laughing at you. There was no Margot
Robbie waiting for me or a Lamborghini. But I mean,
it's an old man condition. Lebron's not old, but man,
oh man, that hurts one hour in the books. Two more. Hey,
it's Fritzy's birthday. Happy birthday.
