Yes, I personally would like to wish you happy birthday
for the next two years in advance, so I don't

Speaker 6 (01:49):
That's fair to check the box and then never again.

all do that, Todd. I want to wish you a
happy birthday the next two years.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
It really feels like guys are just trying to check
a box to be done with her.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
That's I'm getting that for you.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I'm so looking up on that, Marvin. Would you like
to wish Todd a happy birthday?
Speaker 7 (02:20):
I did on Facebook?
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Did I did? Get all?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Righty eight seven seven three DP Show operator Tyler is
sitting by. He'll take your phone calls. And good morning
if you're watching on Peacock, thanks for allowing us into
your daily life. The Dodgers close out the Phillies two
to one in eleven innings, advancing to the NLCS. And
this is how it sounded. Heart rates through the room.
(02:46):
The O one pitch PAHs grounds.
Speaker 8 (02:48):
It back to Kirkley.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
He can't find it.
Speaker 9 (02:50):
He does home what ten stores?
Speaker 6 (02:54):
And the Dodgers are going to the championship days.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
All consider field. The Dodger's cell it right.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
Dear first base on a dround ball back to the pitcher.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Andy Pojz somehow gets the job done. That's courtesy of
a in five seventy LA Sports Dodgers Radio Network. So
if you're a Philadelphia fan, your Phillies are out and
then the defending Super Bowl champs go to New York
and Jackson dark cam skataboo, and the Giants defense shuts
(03:29):
him down as they upset the Eagles thirty four to seventeen,
three touchdowns for scataboom. Tonight, Tigers at the Mariners game.
Five poll question Seaton for hour two is going to be.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
That's kind of a random one. But I was thinking
about it last night and then all day this morning
listening to the radio call of a baseball game. Whilst
in the stands of said baseball game, dot dot.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Dot weird or cool?
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Weird?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Cool?
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Sorry, I didn't mean to just jump into weird or
cool without letting you guys know.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
But oh, do we have a weird or cool game?
I think I think we do. Yeah. The debut, Yeah,
the debut of it, I would say, I would say cool,
you would. I would say, that's a diehard baseball fan
who gets more information because it'll be a radio broadcast
where they're going to describe everything, and I think it'll
(04:25):
be wall to wall information while you're watching the game
that that accentuates the experience. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
See, why hasn't that caught on more in other sports?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
I don't know that a lot of people do that
in other sports, but in baseball it's kind of a thing.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
But I think baseball allows you to have time to
consume what somebody's telling you. Where is football maybe not
as much, and certainly not basketball soccer. I could see where,
you know, you could get maybe information in a different
view of things if you had some kind of earbuds
in yes, todd if.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
You're at the game with family or friends, it seems
a little anti social and obviously they may be on
their phone half the time, which a lot of people
are at a game. But you're at a game and
you've got your headphones on for the game while you're
sitting with friends and family, one of which may have
even brought you to take it or hooked you up
with take How do you just tune everybody out and
just listen to the call.
Speaker 10 (05:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
It seems a little anti social to me.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Okay, so you're against doing that.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
I understand why you would if you like that announcer
and you get the extra information, But ultimately, unless you're
going to the game by yourself, if you're taking like
your son or daughter with family and friends and you've
got your headphones on and you're not interacting with the
people you're at the game with.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
That's weird, Yes, Paul, I see this quite a bit
when I go to baseball games, and it's rarely people
who are with other people.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
It's usually that.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Lone serious baseball fan who probably goes to thirty or
forty games a year and often just grabs a seat,
sits and has someone accompanying him with with the radio.
It's a real specialized person. It's off putting when you
see it, but then you REALI that person has really
committed to the ball club.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Well, wasn't Bartman listening to the baseball game on radio?
Speaker 5 (06:05):
It absolutely was?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yeah, and look what happened? Yes, Ton, So did he
hear himself?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Look the announcers aghast while he was live trying to
interrupting that whole moment there, It's like in something silly,
ridiculous fan just hearing the call of him screwing that up.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Yes, Paul, in all seriousness, that headphones and hat set
up he had made him really easily to identify, because
there were three guys going for that fallball for the Cubs,
but the one guy had the turtleneck and the hat
and the headset on, and he stuck out like a
sore thumb.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
All right, we'll get two phone calls here, settle on
a poll question for hour two. Devin mccordy, former defensive
back with the Patriots, now works for Football Night in America.
He will join us as well. But the Giants beat
the Eagles, the first time a Giants team has beaten
the defending Super Bowl champs since they beat the Broncos
back in nineteen ninety eight. Stat of the Day brought
(07:12):
to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of
the program. In the Cubs shutout went over the Brewers,
Michael Bush homered again four playoff home runs, the most
by any player this postseason, tied for the most ever
by a Cubs player in a single postseason. Kyle Schwarber
had five in twenty fifteen. A couple of phone calls
in here leading off the second hour, Tom in North Carolina.
(07:36):
Hi Tom, what can I do for you?
Speaker 10 (07:40):
Hey, DP, I need some relationship advice?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Oh boy, okay, so I fell in love.
Speaker 11 (07:46):
Yeah, so I fell in love with the Giants in
the mid two thousand, but since twenty twelve, we've been
growing apart. It just seems like they changed and I
didn't know who they were anymore. And when people would ask, Kate,
you're still hanging out with the Giant, I said no.
We broke up. And last night I was watching baseball
and about nine thirty, out of the blue, the Giants
takes me and said, what you doing? So I turned
(08:09):
over to the Giants game and saw the score and
started having some of those same feelings I had about
twenty years ago. I really want to watch that Giants
game next week versus the Broncos, and I really want
to think they've changed. But I need your advice what
I should do.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Well, it feels like you can't go back there. Tom.
You bailed on the Giants, and now all of a
sudden they got good, they got hotter looking, and now
look who comes back to town, Little Tommy in North Carolina.
Maybe the Giants don't want you, Tom? Wow, thank you,
(08:47):
Tom Dang? Yeah, sorry, Tom, You're gone. Now I'm here, Okay,
all right, that's.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
What they takes me.
Speaker 12 (08:56):
They takes me.
Speaker 11 (08:57):
They're drawing me back in DP.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I mean you, no, no, no, you you abandoned them.
They've been here the whole time. You're the one kind
of socializing and seeing other teams or flirting with other teams.
They've been here. You're not allowed back, Tom, You're not
allowed back.
Speaker 13 (09:18):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
It's it's strictly platonic between you and the Giants. From
now on, front Runner, Thank you, Tom. Let's see Dan
and Vancouver. Dan couver.
Speaker 14 (09:30):
Born in Dan five ten. Dan, the best baseball play
play by play announcer in history. Knew how to straddle
the line between homer and objective observer better than anyone.
He told stories about players from both teams, was emphatic
when plays required it, and was silent at all the
right times every time the Dodgers take the field. I
(09:55):
miss his radio sign on It's time for Dodger Baseball.
Speaker 11 (09:58):
You know who I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yeah, yeah, Vinnie, Yeah, I was listening to the last
time he was on. I just stumbled upon the interview
and at least a portion of it. And he was
always very generous with his time that he would come
on usually once a year and spend fifteen or twenty
minutes with us, and he would just regale you with
(10:20):
stories and you just hear that voice like there's certain voices,
and you know, voices were far more important when I
was growing up than they probably are now because they
were the only voices we were hearing. You know, there's
so many games that are available, and back then you
would listen on radio. I remember being in Los Angeles
(10:40):
and listening to Chick Hern on radio or Vinnie on radio,
and you just drive around if you didn't go to
the game, just drive around. And I always had great
appreciation for that, certainly radio play by play voices, and
I was very fortunate we had Marty Brenneman and Joe
Nusaw with the Reds and had Al Michaels for a
couple of years, the Reds broadcaster. Uh Gavin in Ohio?
(11:03):
Hi Gavin, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Hi?
Speaker 9 (11:07):
I was wondering if you guys could sing Happy Birthday
for my mom. Her name is Lisa.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
How old are you? Gavin?
Speaker 9 (11:15):
Eleven years old?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Got school today?
Speaker 11 (11:19):
No?
Speaker 8 (11:19):
It's Keecher conference day?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Nice? Nice? What do you got planned?
Speaker 10 (11:27):
Nothing?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Nothing? It's a Friday. You're Gavin, you're eleven. You should
be having fun.
Speaker 9 (11:36):
Oh yeah, I forgot. There was a high school football
game I'm going to today.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
Okay, all right, yes, Paul, Gavin, is this shout out
in lieu of an actual gift for your mom?
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Nice kid? Oh there's Lisa. Okay, all right, good job, Gavin.
All right, so.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
You get him anything, get you?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
And birthday? Same birthday as Todd. All right, Gavin, You're good?
All right? Happy birthday, Lisa, Michael and fort Wayne. Hi, Mike,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 15 (12:12):
Good morning to Dan, and happy birthday Todd. Thanks for
taking my call. I'm going to askew slightly negative, if
that's okay with you. Two quick questions. Number one, who
do you think works more hours this weekend? The Eagles
defensive coordinator or Russell Wilson's sports psychologist. And then, secondly,
you mentioned yesterday favorite sandwiches, and Marvin said his favorite
(12:35):
was a grilled cheese. I'm just wondering if when he
makes his grilled cheese does he cut it diagonally or
vertically so that it will fit into his small hands?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Wow, well, Mike, Mike's coming after people today. Marvin, you
want to respond?
Speaker 7 (12:51):
First of all, that's incredibly hurtful, but yes, I cut
it diagonally.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yeah, and I do too, And thank you. Michael means
spirited today, Yes, Todd.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
And does he play with his stickerbuck while he's cutting
his sandwich?
Speaker 13 (13:04):
And a half hours that.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
One Once again, I'm going to give you a lot
of latitude today.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
So one day you can do that the next two
years it's on the weekend.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
The next two year, the last birthday you will ever
celebrate on this show. Very depressing.
Speaker 7 (13:18):
Wait, has it been Fritzy's birthday all week?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
No? No, no, no, because he reminds us too often
about when his birthday is totally gets One day.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
I'll talking about the amount of airtime he' said.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Oh wow, the Todd Fritz Show featuring Dan Patrick?
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Is that what he's talking about?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Ed in Illinois, Hi, Ed, Good morning Dan.
Speaker 13 (13:42):
I am going to propose a Since you've talked about
a lot of hall of fame things, I'm proposing a
retirement hall of fame. And to qualify, you must have
been retired longer than you worked. I worked thirty three
years and I have been retiredired thirty six. So I'm
(14:02):
going to be the chairman of the board, but I
will abdicate if somebody is better than I am.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
All right, thank you, Ed. I think I've been in
this business for forty three years, but I was also
in radio prior to that. Oh, I don't know what
that means because I don't think the after I retire
is going to be similar to before I retire as
(14:32):
far as my work. I don't think I'm living to
be one hundred and twenty. I don't think so I
would take the under. I would take the under.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Yes, Todd, do you have your first big trip planned
with your wife and family?
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Like once I retire?
Speaker 3 (14:46):
This is top of my list where we're going to
go for a few weeks or a month and just
be somewhere far remote place.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
You would be the last person I would test your
husband's taking an Argentine w you can't keep a secret.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
You shouldn't tell me hold MyD You tell the guys.
I'm gonna hold my ears right now.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
You tell the guys, and I will no, yes, yes, Pauling.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Just to stay on the same theme.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I don't know if you guys saw this morning.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Sister Jean from Loyal University in Chicago, the beloved chaplain.
She passed away at one hundred and six. She's working
just six months ago on campus. Okay, would you sign
up for one hundred and six.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Well is it a good one oh six?
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Okay, how about this? You get one oh six and
it's whatever it is, or you get eighty five clean,
eighty five spotless, no issues.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I would roll the dice on one oh six. If
you said ninety five.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
I'm gonna give you ninety four, I'll give you a
ninety clean or one hundred and six and it's whatever
you got.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Now I'm still holding out for ninety five clean. I
give it to you and I go quietly in the
middle of the night. I would sign up for that.
I can't. There's no way this body is I mean,
it's not a wonderland anymore. It's it's not gonna last
one o six just not one o six is nuts?
(16:12):
I know, Yeah, yes, Todd.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Ninety five clean, But you have no idea how you're
gonna go.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
It's not gonna be peaceful the middle of the night.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
It could be some kind of horrific tragic What is
the magic number where you're like, you would roll the
dice on the how it would how it would end?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I thought, ninety five clean in the middle of the night.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
That's too many years, that's that's too easy of a decision.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
They're asking too much that ninety five and you know,
a busy you know, No, Okay, I'm gonna go ninety
ninety clean middle of the night and that's it.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
How's that sold to the men? Now there's pressure on me.
I'd still take the under all right? When we come back.

Football Night in America. It'll be the Lions and the Chiefs.
(18:24):
That'll be at eight twenty eastern. Devin, thanks for joining us.
That's quick turnaround from doing the game last night. At
what point did you realize the Giants were going to
give the Eagles everything they could handle?
Speaker 18 (18:37):
I got tell a pregame just walking the field and
talking to different people. You know, the Eagles there was
a sense of, I don't want to say concerned, but
they seemed like the team that felt all the pressure.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
They were kind of on edge.
Speaker 18 (18:50):
Whereas when I walked and talked to some of the
Giants people, they weren't concerned about last week's performance. They said,
dart one interception was in the fourth quarter, I mean
on a fourth down.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
The other one to receiver bowl Collin stop.
Speaker 18 (19:02):
They were confident, and one of the guys told me,
I think we can get this one and for our team,
we need to get this win, and they played like it.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Okay, is this more about the Giants or more about
the Eagles?
Speaker 18 (19:13):
Oh, it's definitely more about the Eagles. The Eagles are
better football team than the Giants. But what you saw
was a team that.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Got out coached and out played last night.
Speaker 18 (19:21):
Brian Dable and Shane Bowen came in with good plans
offensively and defensively, and the Eagles never adjusted. But that's
what we've said the beginning part of this season. There's
no adjustments. They play well for a half and then
it all goals and you get nothing in the second half.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
And the same thing happened last night.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Have you ever tackled somebody like Cam Scattabou, I.
Speaker 18 (19:45):
Mean, Marshawn Lynch was a guy that you know, as
crazy as Scattaboo, as I still would rather tackle him
than Marshawn Lynch.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
What was it? You know? At that experience of tackling
Marshaun Lynch was like what.
Speaker 18 (19:58):
I'll never forget where two bow forty nine and I
had to deal with the linebackers. I'll be there to
support him on any coverage, just so let Marshaun Lynch
get to me untouched.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
And we get to that point in the game.
Speaker 18 (20:10):
He gets to me untouched and I'm in the open
field and we've all seen his highlights of stiff arming people,
juking people, and I'm thinking, just get him to the ground,
and I get it there.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
I hit him. My head bounces back, but I tackle him.
Speaker 18 (20:23):
He stands up and he just stares at me, has
this black voji you can't see his eyes, and he
puts his hand out and shakes my hand, almost as
if he was in disbelief that I got him down.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
And I was like, you know what, of all things
I've done in.
Speaker 18 (20:36):
Life, I can say I tackle mar List in the
open field and be happy about it.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Do you guys practice the Malcolm Butler interception that play?
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Yep? It was a Friday practice.
Speaker 18 (20:50):
He uh, he wasn't getting a lot of reps at
this point in the season. He gets in, they run,
not in the same spot, but it's that same kind
of pickplay. He gets beat on a touchdown, and anybody
that's ever heard about Bill Belichick, Bill rips him the
next day while we're watching film. So when Malcolm got in,
I think that was the only play he was gonna
guard against to stop right.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
There was there any thought that Marshawn Lynch was gonna
get this ball.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
There was a lot of thought. We went all goal line,
all big people.
Speaker 18 (21:19):
We only had three corners on the field and their
job was to stop any kind of pass. No help
anywhere because everybody else was all other a guys were
playing against.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
The run, but he runs for Was there any thought
of letting them score so Tom could get the ball
back with some time on the clock.
Speaker 18 (21:37):
I know I thought about that because I had played
in Super Bowl forty six where that happened, and we
had a play where we let them brass.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Shaw Us score.
Speaker 18 (21:45):
But once we didn't call time out on the clock
kept dwindling down. I kind of looked up and was like,
we don't have time to let him score now, because
even if we get the ball back, won't be enough
time to win the game.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
So yeah, it was a lot of thoughts.
Speaker 18 (21:58):
I don't know if other guys was, but I vividly
remember that because of the Super Bowl prior.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
All Right, given what happened with the Eagles last night,
who's the favorite in the NFC?
Speaker 4 (22:08):
I think right now you got to go with Detroit.
Speaker 18 (22:10):
I think their team coming back from last year, they've
gotten in their groove. It feels like they're playing better ball.
Their coordinators, I think, are settling in and they're getting
to know exactly what this team is going to be
good at and what they're not going to be good at,
and they're playing to it.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
So I would definitely go with the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
And I look at the Eagles offense and I'm just
there's a disconnect there. I don't know what it is.
And I mentioned last hour they need to kind of rediscover,
not reinvent anything. But how do you go from having
a they got a great tight end, you've got really
good receivers, You've got Saquon Barkley, maybe the offensive line
still banged up, it's still like accidentally. They should be
(22:49):
able to score thirty points a game.
Speaker 18 (22:51):
I mean, and danis on both sides of the ball.
I think they've gotten so used to coming out and saying, hey,
good job, we got the best player in the league.
We're just gonna do what we do. And what happens
is when you win.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
A Super Bowl that next year, all off.
Speaker 18 (23:07):
Season everyone's scouting you to figure out how to beat you,
and you're getting every team's best shot and they're not
ready for that. If you watch the game, it's the
same routes over and over again, same run plays, over
and over again. Defensively, Jackson Dark scrambles ten or twelve times.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
They never change anything. They don't go with a spy.
Speaker 18 (23:26):
It's just they think they're gonna figure it out, and
right now they're not figuring it out. And if they don't,
I think this season will continue to go downhill.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Is Tampa second in your power rankings in the NFC?
Speaker 18 (23:40):
I would go Rams, then Tampa, but I like Baker Mayfil,
I like what the Bucks are doing. My top four
would probably be the Rams, Tampa, and Seattle.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Wait, Philadelphia is not in your top four.
Speaker 18 (23:55):
I wouldn't say right now, not the way they're playing in.
My issue with Philly right now is three guys on
your team have a meeting. Three guys, why are we
talking about in the media.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
I actually thought the.
Speaker 18 (24:06):
Way Aj Brown answered the question after the game was
the right way. I don't know what meeting y'all are
talking about. If we talk, we don't need to discuss that.
We even had that conversation. So they have a lot
going on from an X and O standpoint, But even
outside of.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
That, in the locker room went between the.
Speaker 18 (24:22):
Players and the coaches, it seems like they got to
fix some things.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I'm talking to Devin mccordy won three Super Bowls with
the Patriots, but that next year, when you guys won
Super Bowls, how did you hit the reset button or
you know, try to fight off what the Eagles are
going through.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Yeah, it was the guys in the locker room.
Speaker 18 (24:41):
It was if we did have to have a conversation,
we all knew and a lot of that came from
our head coach up. Whatever is discussed, whatever we're going
through internally, we don't need to go and talk about it.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
I mean the super Bowl, our first one was super
Bowl forty nine. The Flaygate was the hottest topic is
what everyone wanted to talk about.
Speaker 18 (24:59):
If you go back, can you listen to all our interviews,
None of us are diving into the balls being deflated
or what this means. It was We're focused on Seattle.
We're focused on trying to win a Super Bowl, and
I think that's all they need to do. But I
think they need to trust all the guys in that
building that they have the best guys to go win
another Super Bowl, And I don't know if they feel
(25:20):
that way. Lane Johnson after the game were too predictable?
Sakwon Barkley says, We're not too predictable. So like you
have all of these different kind of versions of what's
going on, and no one's kind of working together.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
In symmetry, the Chiefs are the Lions coming up this weekend?
How big is this game for the Chiefs? You're at
home and you're still scuffling a little bit here and
Detroit's coming to town.
Speaker 18 (25:44):
Yeah, I mean for the Chiefs, there's an excitement because
the last two weeks this offense has looked like what
we've seen in the past, a lot of creativity, getting
the ball of different guys in space.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
But on the other hand, the games you've.
Speaker 18 (25:57):
Lost, it feels like your best players have been the
ones that cost you. Whether it's Kelsey's drop against the Eagles,
whether it's Chris Jones going inside against the Chargers, or
this last game him not you know, finishing a player
Dan Harrison Bunker kicking the ball out of bounds.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
So I think for the Chiefs, they're like, how can
we put together a.
Speaker 18 (26:14):
Complete game with all our top players and everybody on
the same page.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
How can we do that week after week after week?
Speaker 18 (26:22):
We did it against Baltimore, but then Jacksonville we have
a couple of plays that we let slip through our hands.
What better way than to go against the Detroit Lions
team that was gonna come and try to punch you
in the face for four quarters of trying to go
and do it. I think that's what championship teams do.
If the if the Chiefs want to stay.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
That way, what's it like when you're out and somebody's
really fast and you're and you have man cup, You're
you're gonna have help, But what you know, Xavier Worthy.
It just kind of reinvigorated the Chiefs offense. But there
there are guys who are fast, and then they are
guys who are really fast. The difference.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Let's just stick with it.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Yeah, Yeah, with the Chiefs against.
Speaker 18 (27:01):
Playing against Tyreek Hill all of those years, and a
lot of it had to do with, hey, he's really fast,
we're going to put two guys on him. Twenty eighteen
in the AFC Championship, he had one catch for forty
two yards because we double team him the whole game.
We had a guy outside, we had a guy inside,
a guy short, a guy deep. And it's understanding not
only that he's fast, but how the offense uses him.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Where's the Xavier Worthy lines up? Is he in the slot?
Is he outside? Is he off the ball? Is he
on the ball?
Speaker 18 (27:29):
And then, knowing from your film study, how do they
get him the ball depending on where he's at. You
have to know those things if you want to have
some kind of advantage, Especially when a guy's that fast,
he's going to kill you athletically, you've got to be
able to match it mentally to slow it down a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
How close are you watching what's going on with Belichick
at North Carolina?
Speaker 18 (27:51):
I actually actually just had a conversation with one of
my guys that are there and said they were kind of.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Caught off guard.
Speaker 18 (28:00):
Yes, the game Saturday didn't go well, but for what
I was told was they had a conversation Bill talked
in the locker room to the team and everyone walked
away went like, man, it didn't go our way, but
what coach the message he just delivered there's some hope
going forward in this season.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
And that was Saturday after the.
Speaker 18 (28:17):
Game, and then Monday, they just felt like everything just
hit him like a ton of bricks, with all of
these articles and stories coming out. And one person told me,
there's no divide in the locker room.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
There's no questions about whether Bill wants to be there
or not.
Speaker 18 (28:32):
So it's very confusing and we laugh because being in
New England we saw so many different things, and he said,
I never imagine coming to u NC, we get more coverage,
more talked about, and more scrutinizing any time, really being
in New England.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
So it's just a lot going on over there.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Right now, and you probably have a lot of people
rooting against Bill, and you know, and we start to
pile on it happens. We build you up and then
we tear you down, and you know, it feels like
they're not giving him enough time. I guess we expected
results because they labeled themselves to thirty third team, So
(29:10):
that's high expectations that you come here and you'll be
going to the NFL. And maybe that's it that they're losing.
It's the way they're losing, not that they're losing.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
And I've been around coach Belichick for a long time.
He knows, and I'm sure he's telling that.
Speaker 18 (29:25):
Staff we either win or we get fired. And he
used to preach that to us as a team. He
used to say as a coach, every day I come here,
I'm on an interview. If I don't perform, I'm going
to get fired. And it's the same thing for the
players when he was in NFL.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
If you don't do your job, we get you out
of here. We find somebody else.
Speaker 18 (29:42):
So even though I think, like you said, a lot
of people are rooting against them, they also know they
got to win some football games and they got to
be competitive or in this landscape, whether college or pro,
they get you out of there and they replace you
as soon as that happens.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Great to talk to you. Thanks for joining us. Yes,
we appreciate it, Devin, have a good weekend.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
You too, Dan. Good talking to you.

I mean to get some more rest.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Not enthusiastic enough for you.
Speaker 3 (32:50):

Speaker 2 (33:17):
Yesterday was just the second time the Eagles, Phillies, and
Flyers all lost on the same day. The other one
was October sixteenth, nineteen eighty three. Kevin in Milwaukee, Hi, Kevin,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 12 (33:31):
Big EP five to eleven, three quarters to sixteen. I
just wanted to weigh in on the cool or not
cool to work the phones to a ballgame? You know
the kid I saw it and I thought that guy
is really weird, but as an adult, I feel like
I get it. Just wide stats as you go and
really plugged into the game. One other thing to throw in,
(33:54):
Doctor Fritzy caught the call of the Subs home run
yesterday in the Birds game and the Brewers announcer just
being set.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Up with it. Oh, maybe Marvin can find that before
we exit stage left here today, time to slide into
the weekend, brought to you by King Sawaiian. They want
to welcome you to a slider Sunday. Get ready for
summer grilling and you'll be the hit the tailgate, the
irresistible Kings, Hawaian rolls and slider buns. All right, here's
(34:25):
some items here as we slide into the weekend. Indiana
and Oregon. You got the Heisman Trophy battle, Dante More
and Fernando Mendoza Alabama Missouri. Missouri's sneaky. They're twenty five
and five in their last thirty games. Lines at the
Chiefs Kent City trying to avoid a two and four start.
(34:48):
Niners in the Bucks. Two of the better teams in
the NFC going head to head. Mac Jones. Can he
continue his magic and then you will have the Cubs
and the Brewers, the Tigers. May Is tonight. Then you'll

your local grocery store and enjoy king Sawaian and recipe
inspiration Kingsawian dot com. Yes, Paul, that was a nutty
stat you did about Miszoo.
Speaker 5 (35:20):
I looked they were eleven and two two years ago,
ten and three last year, five and oh this year,
that's that's impressive.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Yeah, they kind of get lost. Yeah, not really a
basketball or a football school. They've had moments in both.
Indiana could be the this year's Indiana could be last
year's Indiana. Because we are looking for who's that team's
going to surprise everybody? Is it going to be Indiana
surprising us again? And they played really well. You got
(35:50):
a really good quarterback there. They won eleven games last year. Now,
I didn't think they played a quality schedule. I wouldn't
have put them in the playoffs. But you know they're
still working this out. You know, what's the format going
to be? Automatic qualifiers, all of those things, all right,
who had the best week in sports? Todd, I'll start
with you. Best week turned in by who?
Speaker 13 (36:12):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
I'm gonna give it to the Dodgers. I love the pitching.
I saw Sosake and they just stepped up. And it
was an unfortunate ending for the Phillies, but their seventh
NLCS appearance coming in the last ten years.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
I'm wearing my Dodgers jersey. I'm gonna give it the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Okay, uh Seaton Best week.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
In sports, Best week in sports, no doubt Hertford Athletic.
They went cross country. They won the USL Jaegermeister Cup
final on the road in Sacramento in front of an
angry twelve thousand people. They won one nothing. It's their
first major trophy and club history. Underdogs, huge underdogs in
that and they've been by far the hottest team in
soccer since July.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
And they're only one year removed from.
Speaker 6 (36:53):
Having one of the worst seasons in USL history and
now they're heading into the playoffs absolutely on fire.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Marvin.
Speaker 7 (37:00):
Best week in Sports The Toronto Blue Jays advances to
their first ALCS in twenty sixteen and winning on the
road at Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 5 (37:10):
Paulieu Seaton stole mine, so I will go with I'm
going to go with Jaguars over the Chiefs. Liam Cohen,
the head coach of the Jaguars. He was a bit
of a punchline when he got hired. It was awkward
when he got hired. He's now four and one and
all is well there, at least temporarily.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Fall David in Phoenix, Good morning, David, what's on your mind?
Speaker 19 (37:34):
Good morning?
Speaker 8 (37:35):
I was flying from Anchorage to Phoenix yesterday, stopped in Portland,
and when I got on the plane, there were two
young girls next to me celebrating their birthday, which was
October eighth, with their birthday girls trip. My birthday is
October eighth. And when we were talking about this, a
(37:57):
guy next to us on the other side to the
plane in the same row was October eighth, which was
kind of unbelievable. And not just that the woman in
front of me was October night. I think she was
angry because she refined her seat all the way back
that she didn't share the same birthday with us.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
All right, Well, thank you, David. Random, that is random.
Maybe the guy on the other side was saying it
was his birthday. Maybe he could join the girls trip
vacation or birthday trip. I don't know, but thank you David,
Greg and Daytona Beach. Hi Greg, what's on your mind?
Speaker 10 (38:38):
Good morning, gentlemen. I heard earlier we're talking about announcers,
and Vincecully was the best, no doubt. I just wanted
to mention we had here in New York when I
was up there in the fifties. We had Baseball and
Valentine mel Allen and we had the Redhead, Red Barber.
(38:58):
These guys would split time four and a half innings
doing television and then they'd switch seats. The other half
they would do radio. Sometimes they would do it together.
But mel Allen and Red Barber, Baseball and Valentine.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Yeah, great voices though they're just something about you know,
you hear whether it's Keith Jackson, you would just hear
that voice and you go, that's a big college football game.
Speaker 11 (39:25):
You know.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Every time I heard Vin, you know, it's just Dodger baseball,
Johnny most you know Celtic basketball. John in Texas, Good
morning John, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 20 (39:37):
Good morning Dan?
Speaker 8 (39:38):
And Danet's.
Speaker 20 (39:40):
So as far as October birthdays go, I feel like
there's no other months where it's kind of like a club.
You know, Fritzie can speak to that. Nobody says, oh,
I'm also a May birthday.
Speaker 9 (39:54):
Nobody cares October.
Speaker 19 (39:56):
That's that's where it's at.
Speaker 20 (39:58):
But anyway, here's the deal. This Phillies pitcher, whose name
I won't say because I don't want him to become
the Phillies Butner. I feel like, you know, if we
can just not have him be the Butckner for the Phillies,
that would be great. Also, lastly, talking about I would
take ninety five today and people say no, my friends say, oh,
(40:22):
you know, I don't want to live to be ninety five.
Well you know who does not.
Speaker 11 (40:24):
Say that is the ninety four year old Thank you,
John Nice called.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
The Phillies pitcher is not going to be Buckner. That
was the World Series. They were winning the World Series.
If the pitcher got over to first even then I
have my doubts about that. But this is different. The
Phillies tied and maybe you extended to one more game,
but this wasn't the World Series. That's on the line. Yes,
(40:54):
Marvin after that game six.
Speaker 7 (40:56):
What was the feeling going into Game seven as far
as like the Red Sox players were they just thinking
to themselves, oh my god, we had it.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Well, they took the lead. I think they had bruce
Hurst on the mound and it took a couple of
days because there were rain outs and you know, so
the build up was still. I think the Red Sox
thought they had a great pitcher on the mound and
they even were up in that Game seven. A wild series,
wild man. Just when you say I think I've seen
(41:26):
it all, I still haven't. We'll check in with North
Carolina football. Will Bill Belichick be coaching against Cal a
week from Saturday.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We did it. We made it to a Friday. It's
a meat Friday at that and it's Fritzy's birthday.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Hamy that was less enthusiastic than Dave Simms called the
homemun by Guerrera Junior.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
You do remind us constantly that your birthday is ten ten.
It's the same year, same day, same month as Brett
fav You know that, you do, really do.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
It's one of my many character flaws. It's an insecurity,
that's what it would be.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
But a happy birthday to you, Todd. No, truly a
happy birthday ten sixty.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
I'm fifty six today and.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
It's a meat Friday. We have roast pork shoulder, rice
and beans and Baja fish tacos. Woo better wait no, yes, poet.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
I'm checking my notes here. This could be Todd's final birthday.
That's on air. October tenth. Next year is a Saturday.
The following year it's a Sunday.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Wow, So this is it, big guy?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Oh, so what do we do in that situation? Do
we still honor its on Friday? Has to be come
out on that exact day it's.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Going to be on it's going to be your birth policy. Yeah,
so you.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Guys a gotta throw me some party to restaurant like
on the weekend. Is that what happens then instead of
in the Milford studio we do.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
No, no, no, we won't acknowledge it.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
You guys, now the point brought that up.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
You have plenty of time to prepare some you know,
some catering hall or you got a year to know it.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Has to play in the weekend. What are you preparing
for me? That's a very my retirement. Yeah, I've given
you four years, a total of four years.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
I don't have a good answer to that right now.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Okay, well you got two and a half years plus.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Yes, I personally would like to wish you happy birthday
for the next two years in advance, so I don't
have to text you or feel guilty.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
That's fair to check the box and then never again.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Yeah, it's probably did you take it that way till soon?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Just said that, and I generally like for it's a
two years, the next two and then never again.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Forever forever.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I hope you enjoy your birthdays. I think we should
all do that, Todd. I want to wish you a
happy birthday the next two years.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
It really feels like guys are just trying to check
a box to be done with her.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
That's I'm getting that for you.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I'm so looking up on that, Marvin. Would you like
to wish Todd a happy birthday?
Speaker 7 (02:20):
I did on Facebook?
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Did I did? Get all?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Righty eight seven seven three DP Show operator Tyler is
sitting by. He'll take your phone calls. And good morning
if you're watching on Peacock, thanks for allowing us into
your daily life. The Dodgers close out the Phillies two
to one in eleven innings, advancing to the NLCS. And
this is how it sounded. Heart rates through the room.
(02:46):
The O one pitch PAHs grounds.
Speaker 8 (02:48):
It back to Kirkley.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
He can't find it.
Speaker 9 (02:50):
He does home what ten stores?
Speaker 6 (02:54):
And the Dodgers are going to the championship days.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
All consider field. The Dodger's cell it right.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
Dear first base on a dround ball back to the pitcher.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Andy Pojz somehow gets the job done. That's courtesy of
a in five seventy LA Sports Dodgers Radio Network. So
if you're a Philadelphia fan, your Phillies are out and
then the defending Super Bowl champs go to New York
and Jackson dark cam skataboo, and the Giants defense shuts
(03:29):
him down as they upset the Eagles thirty four to seventeen,
three touchdowns for scataboom. Tonight, Tigers at the Mariners game.
Five poll question Seaton for hour two is going to be.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
That's kind of a random one. But I was thinking
about it last night and then all day this morning
listening to the radio call of a baseball game. Whilst
in the stands of said baseball game, dot dot.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Dot weird or cool?
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Weird?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Cool?
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Sorry, I didn't mean to just jump into weird or
cool without letting you guys know.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
But oh, do we have a weird or cool game?
I think I think we do. Yeah. The debut, Yeah,
the debut of it, I would say, I would say cool,
you would. I would say, that's a diehard baseball fan
who gets more information because it'll be a radio broadcast
where they're going to describe everything, and I think it'll
(04:25):
be wall to wall information while you're watching the game
that that accentuates the experience. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
See, why hasn't that caught on more in other sports?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
I don't know that a lot of people do that
in other sports, but in baseball it's kind of a thing.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
But I think baseball allows you to have time to
consume what somebody's telling you. Where is football maybe not
as much, and certainly not basketball soccer. I could see where,
you know, you could get maybe information in a different
view of things if you had some kind of earbuds
in yes, todd if.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
You're at the game with family or friends, it seems
a little anti social and obviously they may be on
their phone half the time, which a lot of people
are at a game. But you're at a game and
you've got your headphones on for the game while you're
sitting with friends and family, one of which may have
even brought you to take it or hooked you up
with take How do you just tune everybody out and
just listen to the call.
Speaker 10 (05:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
It seems a little anti social to me.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Okay, so you're against doing that.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
I understand why you would if you like that announcer
and you get the extra information, But ultimately, unless you're
going to the game by yourself, if you're taking like
your son or daughter with family and friends and you've
got your headphones on and you're not interacting with the
people you're at the game with.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
That's weird, Yes, Paul, I see this quite a bit
when I go to baseball games, and it's rarely people
who are with other people.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
It's usually that.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Lone serious baseball fan who probably goes to thirty or
forty games a year and often just grabs a seat,
sits and has someone accompanying him with with the radio.
It's a real specialized person. It's off putting when you
see it, but then you REALI that person has really
committed to the ball club.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Well, wasn't Bartman listening to the baseball game on radio?
Speaker 5 (06:05):
It absolutely was?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yeah, and look what happened? Yes, Ton, So did he
hear himself?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Look the announcers aghast while he was live trying to
interrupting that whole moment there, It's like in something silly,
ridiculous fan just hearing the call of him screwing that up.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Yes, Paul, in all seriousness, that headphones and hat set
up he had made him really easily to identify, because
there were three guys going for that fallball for the Cubs,
but the one guy had the turtleneck and the hat
and the headset on, and he stuck out like a
sore thumb.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
All right, we'll get two phone calls here, settle on
a poll question for hour two. Devin mccordy, former defensive
back with the Patriots, now works for Football Night in America.
He will join us as well. But the Giants beat
the Eagles, the first time a Giants team has beaten
the defending Super Bowl champs since they beat the Broncos
back in nineteen ninety eight. Stat of the Day brought
(07:12):
to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of
the program. In the Cubs shutout went over the Brewers,
Michael Bush homered again four playoff home runs, the most
by any player this postseason, tied for the most ever
by a Cubs player in a single postseason. Kyle Schwarber
had five in twenty fifteen. A couple of phone calls
in here leading off the second hour, Tom in North Carolina.
(07:36):
Hi Tom, what can I do for you?
Speaker 10 (07:40):
Hey, DP, I need some relationship advice?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Oh boy, okay, so I fell in love.
Speaker 11 (07:46):
Yeah, so I fell in love with the Giants in
the mid two thousand, but since twenty twelve, we've been
growing apart. It just seems like they changed and I
didn't know who they were anymore. And when people would ask, Kate,
you're still hanging out with the Giant, I said no.
We broke up. And last night I was watching baseball
and about nine thirty, out of the blue, the Giants
takes me and said, what you doing? So I turned
(08:09):
over to the Giants game and saw the score and
started having some of those same feelings I had about
twenty years ago. I really want to watch that Giants
game next week versus the Broncos, and I really want
to think they've changed. But I need your advice what
I should do.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Well, it feels like you can't go back there. Tom.
You bailed on the Giants, and now all of a
sudden they got good, they got hotter looking, and now
look who comes back to town, Little Tommy in North Carolina.
Maybe the Giants don't want you, Tom? Wow, thank you,
(08:47):
Tom Dang? Yeah, sorry, Tom, You're gone. Now I'm here, Okay,
all right, that's.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
What they takes me.
Speaker 12 (08:56):
They takes me.
Speaker 11 (08:57):
They're drawing me back in DP.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I mean you, no, no, no, you you abandoned them.
They've been here the whole time. You're the one kind
of socializing and seeing other teams or flirting with other teams.
They've been here. You're not allowed back, Tom, You're not
allowed back.
Speaker 13 (09:18):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
It's it's strictly platonic between you and the Giants. From
now on, front Runner, Thank you, Tom. Let's see Dan
and Vancouver. Dan couver.
Speaker 14 (09:30):
Born in Dan five ten. Dan, the best baseball play
play by play announcer in history. Knew how to straddle
the line between homer and objective observer better than anyone.
He told stories about players from both teams, was emphatic
when plays required it, and was silent at all the
right times every time the Dodgers take the field. I
(09:55):
miss his radio sign on It's time for Dodger Baseball.
Speaker 11 (09:58):
You know who I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yeah, yeah, Vinnie, Yeah, I was listening to the last
time he was on. I just stumbled upon the interview
and at least a portion of it. And he was
always very generous with his time that he would come
on usually once a year and spend fifteen or twenty
minutes with us, and he would just regale you with
(10:20):
stories and you just hear that voice like there's certain voices,
and you know, voices were far more important when I
was growing up than they probably are now because they
were the only voices we were hearing. You know, there's
so many games that are available, and back then you
would listen on radio. I remember being in Los Angeles
(10:40):
and listening to Chick Hern on radio or Vinnie on radio,
and you just drive around if you didn't go to
the game, just drive around. And I always had great
appreciation for that, certainly radio play by play voices, and
I was very fortunate we had Marty Brenneman and Joe
Nusaw with the Reds and had Al Michaels for a
couple of years, the Reds broadcaster. Uh Gavin in Ohio?
(11:03):
Hi Gavin, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Hi?
Speaker 9 (11:07):
I was wondering if you guys could sing Happy Birthday
for my mom. Her name is Lisa.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
How old are you? Gavin?
Speaker 9 (11:15):
Eleven years old?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Got school today?
Speaker 11 (11:19):
No?
Speaker 8 (11:19):
It's Keecher conference day?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Nice? Nice? What do you got planned?
Speaker 10 (11:27):
Nothing?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Nothing? It's a Friday. You're Gavin, you're eleven. You should
be having fun.
Speaker 9 (11:36):
Oh yeah, I forgot. There was a high school football
game I'm going to today.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
Okay, all right, yes, Paul, Gavin, is this shout out
in lieu of an actual gift for your mom?
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Nice kid? Oh there's Lisa. Okay, all right, good job, Gavin.
All right, so.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
You get him anything, get you?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
And birthday? Same birthday as Todd. All right, Gavin, You're good?
All right? Happy birthday, Lisa, Michael and fort Wayne. Hi, Mike,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 15 (12:12):
Good morning to Dan, and happy birthday Todd. Thanks for
taking my call. I'm going to askew slightly negative, if
that's okay with you. Two quick questions. Number one, who
do you think works more hours this weekend? The Eagles
defensive coordinator or Russell Wilson's sports psychologist. And then, secondly,
you mentioned yesterday favorite sandwiches, and Marvin said his favorite
(12:35):
was a grilled cheese. I'm just wondering if when he
makes his grilled cheese does he cut it diagonally or
vertically so that it will fit into his small hands?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Wow, well, Mike, Mike's coming after people today. Marvin, you
want to respond?
Speaker 7 (12:51):
First of all, that's incredibly hurtful, but yes, I cut
it diagonally.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yeah, and I do too, And thank you. Michael means
spirited today, Yes, Todd.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
And does he play with his stickerbuck while he's cutting
his sandwich?
Speaker 13 (13:04):
And a half hours that.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
One Once again, I'm going to give you a lot
of latitude today.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
So one day you can do that the next two
years it's on the weekend.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
The next two year, the last birthday you will ever
celebrate on this show. Very depressing.
Speaker 7 (13:18):
Wait, has it been Fritzy's birthday all week?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
No? No, no, no, because he reminds us too often
about when his birthday is totally gets One day.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
I'll talking about the amount of airtime he' said.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Oh wow, the Todd Fritz Show featuring Dan Patrick?
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Is that what he's talking about?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Ed in Illinois, Hi, Ed, Good morning Dan.
Speaker 13 (13:42):
I am going to propose a Since you've talked about
a lot of hall of fame things, I'm proposing a
retirement hall of fame. And to qualify, you must have
been retired longer than you worked. I worked thirty three
years and I have been retiredired thirty six. So I'm
(14:02):
going to be the chairman of the board, but I
will abdicate if somebody is better than I am.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
All right, thank you, Ed. I think I've been in
this business for forty three years, but I was also
in radio prior to that. Oh, I don't know what
that means because I don't think the after I retire
is going to be similar to before I retire as
(14:32):
far as my work. I don't think I'm living to
be one hundred and twenty. I don't think so I
would take the under. I would take the under.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Yes, Todd, do you have your first big trip planned
with your wife and family?
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Like once I retire?
Speaker 3 (14:46):
This is top of my list where we're going to
go for a few weeks or a month and just
be somewhere far remote place.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
You would be the last person I would test your
husband's taking an Argentine w you can't keep a secret.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
You shouldn't tell me hold MyD You tell the guys.
I'm gonna hold my ears right now.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
You tell the guys, and I will no, yes, yes, Pauling.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Just to stay on the same theme.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I don't know if you guys saw this morning.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Sister Jean from Loyal University in Chicago, the beloved chaplain.
She passed away at one hundred and six. She's working
just six months ago on campus. Okay, would you sign
up for one hundred and six.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Well is it a good one oh six?
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Okay, how about this? You get one oh six and
it's whatever it is, or you get eighty five clean,
eighty five spotless, no issues.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I would roll the dice on one oh six. If
you said ninety five.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
I'm gonna give you ninety four, I'll give you a
ninety clean or one hundred and six and it's whatever
you got.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Now I'm still holding out for ninety five clean. I
give it to you and I go quietly in the
middle of the night. I would sign up for that.
I can't. There's no way this body is I mean,
it's not a wonderland anymore. It's it's not gonna last
one o six just not one o six is nuts?
(16:12):
I know, Yeah, yes, Todd.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Ninety five clean, But you have no idea how you're
gonna go.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
It's not gonna be peaceful the middle of the night.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
It could be some kind of horrific tragic What is
the magic number where you're like, you would roll the
dice on the how it would how it would end?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I thought, ninety five clean in the middle of the night.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
That's too many years, that's that's too easy of a decision.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
They're asking too much that ninety five and you know,
a busy you know, No, Okay, I'm gonna go ninety
ninety clean middle of the night and that's it.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
How's that sold to the men? Now there's pressure on me.
I'd still take the under all right? When we come back.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
We'll look ahead to some of the big matchups this weekend.
We'll slide into the weekend coming up in about twenty
minutes from now. Devin mccordy, NBC Football Night in America's
studio analyst and three time All Pro, won three Super
Bowls with the Patriots. He was on the call last
night Eagles Giants Westwood one Radio. Also, he'll be on
Football Night in America. It'll be the Lions and the Chiefs.
(18:24):
That'll be at eight twenty eastern. Devin, thanks for joining us.
That's quick turnaround from doing the game last night. At
what point did you realize the Giants were going to
give the Eagles everything they could handle?
Speaker 18 (18:37):
I got tell a pregame just walking the field and
talking to different people. You know, the Eagles there was
a sense of, I don't want to say concerned, but
they seemed like the team that felt all the pressure.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
They were kind of on edge.
Speaker 18 (18:50):
Whereas when I walked and talked to some of the
Giants people, they weren't concerned about last week's performance. They said,
dart one interception was in the fourth quarter, I mean
on a fourth down.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
The other one to receiver bowl Collin stop.
Speaker 18 (19:02):
They were confident, and one of the guys told me,
I think we can get this one and for our team,
we need to get this win, and they played like it.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Okay, is this more about the Giants or more about
the Eagles?
Speaker 18 (19:13):
Oh, it's definitely more about the Eagles. The Eagles are
better football team than the Giants. But what you saw
was a team that.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Got out coached and out played last night.
Speaker 18 (19:21):
Brian Dable and Shane Bowen came in with good plans
offensively and defensively, and the Eagles never adjusted. But that's
what we've said the beginning part of this season. There's
no adjustments. They play well for a half and then
it all goals and you get nothing in the second half.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
And the same thing happened last night.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Have you ever tackled somebody like Cam Scattabou, I.
Speaker 18 (19:45):
Mean, Marshawn Lynch was a guy that you know, as
crazy as Scattaboo, as I still would rather tackle him
than Marshawn Lynch.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
What was it? You know? At that experience of tackling
Marshaun Lynch was like what.
Speaker 18 (19:58):
I'll never forget where two bow forty nine and I
had to deal with the linebackers. I'll be there to
support him on any coverage, just so let Marshaun Lynch
get to me untouched.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
And we get to that point in the game.
Speaker 18 (20:10):
He gets to me untouched and I'm in the open
field and we've all seen his highlights of stiff arming people,
juking people, and I'm thinking, just get him to the ground,
and I get it there.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
I hit him. My head bounces back, but I tackle him.
Speaker 18 (20:23):
He stands up and he just stares at me, has
this black voji you can't see his eyes, and he
puts his hand out and shakes my hand, almost as
if he was in disbelief that I got him down.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
And I was like, you know what, of all things
I've done in.
Speaker 18 (20:36):
Life, I can say I tackle mar List in the
open field and be happy about it.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Do you guys practice the Malcolm Butler interception that play?
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Yep? It was a Friday practice.
Speaker 18 (20:50):
He uh, he wasn't getting a lot of reps at
this point in the season. He gets in, they run,
not in the same spot, but it's that same kind
of pickplay. He gets beat on a touchdown, and anybody
that's ever heard about Bill Belichick, Bill rips him the
next day while we're watching film. So when Malcolm got in,
I think that was the only play he was gonna
guard against to stop right.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
There was there any thought that Marshawn Lynch was gonna
get this ball.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
There was a lot of thought. We went all goal line,
all big people.
Speaker 18 (21:19):
We only had three corners on the field and their
job was to stop any kind of pass. No help
anywhere because everybody else was all other a guys were
playing against.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
The run, but he runs for Was there any thought
of letting them score so Tom could get the ball
back with some time on the clock.
Speaker 18 (21:37):
I know I thought about that because I had played
in Super Bowl forty six where that happened, and we
had a play where we let them brass.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Shaw Us score.
Speaker 18 (21:45):
But once we didn't call time out on the clock
kept dwindling down. I kind of looked up and was like,
we don't have time to let him score now, because
even if we get the ball back, won't be enough
time to win the game.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
So yeah, it was a lot of thoughts.
Speaker 18 (21:58):
I don't know if other guys was, but I vividly
remember that because of the Super Bowl prior.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
All Right, given what happened with the Eagles last night,
who's the favorite in the NFC?
Speaker 4 (22:08):
I think right now you got to go with Detroit.
Speaker 18 (22:10):
I think their team coming back from last year, they've
gotten in their groove. It feels like they're playing better ball.
Their coordinators, I think, are settling in and they're getting
to know exactly what this team is going to be
good at and what they're not going to be good at,
and they're playing to it.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
So I would definitely go with the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
And I look at the Eagles offense and I'm just
there's a disconnect there. I don't know what it is.
And I mentioned last hour they need to kind of rediscover,
not reinvent anything. But how do you go from having
a they got a great tight end, you've got really
good receivers, You've got Saquon Barkley, maybe the offensive line
still banged up, it's still like accidentally. They should be
(22:49):
able to score thirty points a game.
Speaker 18 (22:51):
I mean, and danis on both sides of the ball.
I think they've gotten so used to coming out and saying, hey,
good job, we got the best player in the league.
We're just gonna do what we do. And what happens
is when you win.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
A Super Bowl that next year, all off.
Speaker 18 (23:07):
Season everyone's scouting you to figure out how to beat you,
and you're getting every team's best shot and they're not
ready for that. If you watch the game, it's the
same routes over and over again, same run plays, over
and over again. Defensively, Jackson Dark scrambles ten or twelve times.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
They never change anything. They don't go with a spy.
Speaker 18 (23:26):
It's just they think they're gonna figure it out, and
right now they're not figuring it out. And if they don't,
I think this season will continue to go downhill.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Is Tampa second in your power rankings in the NFC?
Speaker 18 (23:40):
I would go Rams, then Tampa, but I like Baker Mayfil,
I like what the Bucks are doing. My top four
would probably be the Rams, Tampa, and Seattle.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Wait, Philadelphia is not in your top four.
Speaker 18 (23:55):
I wouldn't say right now, not the way they're playing in.
My issue with Philly right now is three guys on
your team have a meeting. Three guys, why are we
talking about in the media.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
I actually thought the.
Speaker 18 (24:06):
Way Aj Brown answered the question after the game was
the right way. I don't know what meeting y'all are
talking about. If we talk, we don't need to discuss that.
We even had that conversation. So they have a lot
going on from an X and O standpoint, But even
outside of.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
That, in the locker room went between the.
Speaker 18 (24:22):
Players and the coaches, it seems like they got to
fix some things.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I'm talking to Devin mccordy won three Super Bowls with
the Patriots, but that next year, when you guys won
Super Bowls, how did you hit the reset button or
you know, try to fight off what the Eagles are
going through.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Yeah, it was the guys in the locker room.
Speaker 18 (24:41):
It was if we did have to have a conversation,
we all knew and a lot of that came from
our head coach up. Whatever is discussed, whatever we're going
through internally, we don't need to go and talk about it.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
I mean the super Bowl, our first one was super
Bowl forty nine. The Flaygate was the hottest topic is
what everyone wanted to talk about.
Speaker 18 (24:59):
If you go back, can you listen to all our interviews,
None of us are diving into the balls being deflated
or what this means. It was We're focused on Seattle.
We're focused on trying to win a Super Bowl, and
I think that's all they need to do. But I
think they need to trust all the guys in that
building that they have the best guys to go win
another Super Bowl, And I don't know if they feel
(25:20):
that way. Lane Johnson after the game were too predictable?
Sakwon Barkley says, We're not too predictable. So like you
have all of these different kind of versions of what's
going on, and no one's kind of working together.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
In symmetry, the Chiefs are the Lions coming up this weekend?
How big is this game for the Chiefs? You're at
home and you're still scuffling a little bit here and
Detroit's coming to town.
Speaker 18 (25:44):
Yeah, I mean for the Chiefs, there's an excitement because
the last two weeks this offense has looked like what
we've seen in the past, a lot of creativity, getting
the ball of different guys in space.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
But on the other hand, the games you've.
Speaker 18 (25:57):
Lost, it feels like your best players have been the
ones that cost you. Whether it's Kelsey's drop against the Eagles,
whether it's Chris Jones going inside against the Chargers, or
this last game him not you know, finishing a player
Dan Harrison Bunker kicking the ball out of bounds.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
So I think for the Chiefs, they're like, how can
we put together a.
Speaker 18 (26:14):
Complete game with all our top players and everybody on
the same page.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
How can we do that week after week after week?
Speaker 18 (26:22):
We did it against Baltimore, but then Jacksonville we have
a couple of plays that we let slip through our hands.
What better way than to go against the Detroit Lions
team that was gonna come and try to punch you
in the face for four quarters of trying to go
and do it. I think that's what championship teams do.
If the if the Chiefs want to stay.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
That way, what's it like when you're out and somebody's
really fast and you're and you have man cup, You're
you're gonna have help, But what you know, Xavier Worthy.
It just kind of reinvigorated the Chiefs offense. But there
there are guys who are fast, and then they are
guys who are really fast. The difference.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Let's just stick with it.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Yeah, Yeah, with the Chiefs against.
Speaker 18 (27:01):
Playing against Tyreek Hill all of those years, and a
lot of it had to do with, hey, he's really fast,
we're going to put two guys on him. Twenty eighteen
in the AFC Championship, he had one catch for forty
two yards because we double team him the whole game.
We had a guy outside, we had a guy inside,
a guy short, a guy deep. And it's understanding not
only that he's fast, but how the offense uses him.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Where's the Xavier Worthy lines up? Is he in the slot?
Is he outside? Is he off the ball? Is he
on the ball?
Speaker 18 (27:29):
And then, knowing from your film study, how do they
get him the ball depending on where he's at. You
have to know those things if you want to have
some kind of advantage, Especially when a guy's that fast,
he's going to kill you athletically, you've got to be
able to match it mentally to slow it down a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
How close are you watching what's going on with Belichick
at North Carolina?
Speaker 18 (27:51):
I actually actually just had a conversation with one of
my guys that are there and said they were kind of.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Caught off guard.
Speaker 18 (28:00):
Yes, the game Saturday didn't go well, but for what
I was told was they had a conversation Bill talked
in the locker room to the team and everyone walked
away went like, man, it didn't go our way, but
what coach the message he just delivered there's some hope
going forward in this season.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
And that was Saturday after the.
Speaker 18 (28:17):
Game, and then Monday, they just felt like everything just
hit him like a ton of bricks, with all of
these articles and stories coming out. And one person told me,
there's no divide in the locker room.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
There's no questions about whether Bill wants to be there
or not.
Speaker 18 (28:32):
So it's very confusing and we laugh because being in
New England we saw so many different things, and he said,
I never imagine coming to u NC, we get more coverage,
more talked about, and more scrutinizing any time, really being
in New England.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
So it's just a lot going on over there.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Right now, and you probably have a lot of people
rooting against Bill, and you know, and we start to
pile on it happens. We build you up and then
we tear you down, and you know, it feels like
they're not giving him enough time. I guess we expected
results because they labeled themselves to thirty third team, So
(29:10):
that's high expectations that you come here and you'll be
going to the NFL. And maybe that's it that they're losing.
It's the way they're losing, not that they're losing.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
And I've been around coach Belichick for a long time.
He knows, and I'm sure he's telling that.
Speaker 18 (29:25):
Staff we either win or we get fired. And he
used to preach that to us as a team. He
used to say as a coach, every day I come here,
I'm on an interview. If I don't perform, I'm going
to get fired. And it's the same thing for the
players when he was in NFL.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
If you don't do your job, we get you out
of here. We find somebody else.
Speaker 18 (29:42):
So even though I think, like you said, a lot
of people are rooting against them, they also know they
got to win some football games and they got to
be competitive or in this landscape, whether college or pro,
they get you out of there and they replace you
as soon as that happens.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Great to talk to you. Thanks for joining us. Yes,
we appreciate it, Devin, have a good weekend.
Speaker 4 (30:02):

Speaker 2 (33:17):
Yesterday was just the second time the Eagles, Phillies, and
Flyers all lost on the same day. The other one
was October sixteenth, nineteen eighty three. Kevin in Milwaukee, Hi, Kevin,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 12 (33:31):
Big EP five to eleven, three quarters to sixteen. I
just wanted to weigh in on the cool or not
cool to work the phones to a ballgame? You know
the kid I saw it and I thought that guy
is really weird, but as an adult, I feel like
I get it. Just wide stats as you go and
really plugged into the game. One other thing to throw in,
(33:54):
Doctor Fritzy caught the call of the Subs home run
yesterday in the Birds game and the Brewers announcer just
being set.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Up with it. Oh, maybe Marvin can find that before
we exit stage left here today, time to slide into
the weekend, brought to you by King Sawaiian. They want
to welcome you to a slider Sunday. Get ready for
summer grilling and you'll be the hit the tailgate, the
irresistible Kings, Hawaian rolls and slider buns. All right, here's
(34:25):
some items here as we slide into the weekend. Indiana
and Oregon. You got the Heisman Trophy battle, Dante More
and Fernando Mendoza Alabama Missouri. Missouri's sneaky. They're twenty five
and five in their last thirty games. Lines at the
Chiefs Kent City trying to avoid a two and four start.
(34:48):
Niners in the Bucks. Two of the better teams in
the NFC going head to head. Mac Jones. Can he
continue his magic and then you will have the Cubs
and the Brewers, the Tigers. May Is tonight. Then you'll
have the winner with the Blue Jays as we slide
into the weekend. Brought to you by Kingswaiian. Kings Hawaiian.
(35:09):
You'll find them in the Bakery or Delhi section of
your local grocery store and enjoy king Sawaian and recipe
inspiration Kingsawian dot com. Yes, Paul, that was a nutty
stat you did about Miszoo.
Speaker 5 (35:20):
I looked they were eleven and two two years ago,
ten and three last year, five and oh this year,
that's that's impressive.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Yeah, they kind of get lost. Yeah, not really a
basketball or a football school. They've had moments in both.
Indiana could be the this year's Indiana could be last
year's Indiana. Because we are looking for who's that team's
going to surprise everybody? Is it going to be Indiana
surprising us again? And they played really well. You got
(35:50):
a really good quarterback there. They won eleven games last year. Now,
I didn't think they played a quality schedule. I wouldn't
have put them in the playoffs. But you know they're
still working this out. You know, what's the format going
to be? Automatic qualifiers, all of those things, all right,
who had the best week in sports? Todd, I'll start
with you. Best week turned in by who?
Speaker 13 (36:12):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
I'm gonna give it to the Dodgers. I love the pitching.
I saw Sosake and they just stepped up. And it
was an unfortunate ending for the Phillies, but their seventh
NLCS appearance coming in the last ten years.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
I'm wearing my Dodgers jersey. I'm gonna give it the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Okay, uh Seaton Best week.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
In sports, Best week in sports, no doubt Hertford Athletic.
They went cross country. They won the USL Jaegermeister Cup
final on the road in Sacramento in front of an
angry twelve thousand people. They won one nothing. It's their
first major trophy and club history. Underdogs, huge underdogs in
that and they've been by far the hottest team in
soccer since July.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
And they're only one year removed from.
Speaker 6 (36:53):
Having one of the worst seasons in USL history and
now they're heading into the playoffs absolutely on fire.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Marvin.
Speaker 7 (37:00):
Best week in Sports The Toronto Blue Jays advances to
their first ALCS in twenty sixteen and winning on the
road at Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 5 (37:10):
Paulieu Seaton stole mine, so I will go with I'm
going to go with Jaguars over the Chiefs. Liam Cohen,
the head coach of the Jaguars. He was a bit
of a punchline when he got hired. It was awkward
when he got hired. He's now four and one and
all is well there, at least temporarily.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Fall David in Phoenix, Good morning, David, what's on your mind?
Speaker 19 (37:34):
Good morning?
Speaker 8 (37:35):
I was flying from Anchorage to Phoenix yesterday, stopped in Portland,
and when I got on the plane, there were two
young girls next to me celebrating their birthday, which was
October eighth, with their birthday girls trip. My birthday is
October eighth. And when we were talking about this, a
(37:57):
guy next to us on the other side to the
plane in the same row was October eighth, which was
kind of unbelievable. And not just that the woman in
front of me was October night. I think she was
angry because she refined her seat all the way back
that she didn't share the same birthday with us.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
All right, Well, thank you, David. Random, that is random.
Maybe the guy on the other side was saying it
was his birthday. Maybe he could join the girls trip
vacation or birthday trip. I don't know, but thank you David,
Greg and Daytona Beach. Hi Greg, what's on your mind?
Speaker 10 (38:38):
Good morning, gentlemen. I heard earlier we're talking about announcers,
and Vincecully was the best, no doubt. I just wanted
to mention we had here in New York when I
was up there in the fifties. We had Baseball and
Valentine mel Allen and we had the Redhead, Red Barber.
(38:58):
These guys would split time four and a half innings
doing television and then they'd switch seats. The other half
they would do radio. Sometimes they would do it together.
But mel Allen and Red Barber, Baseball and Valentine.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Yeah, great voices though they're just something about you know,
you hear whether it's Keith Jackson, you would just hear
that voice and you go, that's a big college football game.
Speaker 11 (39:25):
You know.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Every time I heard Vin, you know, it's just Dodger baseball,
Johnny most you know Celtic basketball. John in Texas, Good
morning John, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 20 (39:37):
Good morning Dan?
Speaker 8 (39:38):
And Danet's.
Speaker 20 (39:40):
So as far as October birthdays go, I feel like
there's no other months where it's kind of like a club.
You know, Fritzie can speak to that. Nobody says, oh,
I'm also a May birthday.
Speaker 9 (39:54):
Nobody cares October.
Speaker 19 (39:56):
That's that's where it's at.
Speaker 20 (39:58):
But anyway, here's the deal. This Phillies pitcher, whose name
I won't say because I don't want him to become
the Phillies Butner. I feel like, you know, if we
can just not have him be the Butckner for the Phillies,
that would be great. Also, lastly, talking about I would
take ninety five today and people say no, my friends say, oh,
(40:22):
you know, I don't want to live to be ninety five.
Well you know who does not.
Speaker 11 (40:24):
Say that is the ninety four year old Thank you,
John Nice called.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
The Phillies pitcher is not going to be Buckner. That
was the World Series. They were winning the World Series.
If the pitcher got over to first even then I
have my doubts about that. But this is different. The
Phillies tied and maybe you extended to one more game,
but this wasn't the World Series. That's on the line. Yes,
(40:54):
Marvin after that game six.
Speaker 7 (40:56):
What was the feeling going into Game seven as far
as like the Red Sox players were they just thinking
to themselves, oh my god, we had it.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Well, they took the lead. I think they had bruce
Hurst on the mound and it took a couple of
days because there were rain outs and you know, so
the build up was still. I think the Red Sox
thought they had a great pitcher on the mound and
they even were up in that Game seven. A wild series,
wild man. Just when you say I think I've seen
(41:26):
it all, I still haven't. We'll check in with North
Carolina football. Will Bill Belichick be coaching against Cal a
week from Saturday.
