Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. We made it to a Friday. Somehow, we're
Speaker 1: down a Danette. Pauli is off for the weekend. But
Speaker 1: Fritzy's here, Seaton's here, Marvin's here, and yours truly, and
Speaker 1: it is a meat Friday. In case you're wondering, smoked
Speaker 1: baby back ribs, bourbon, baked beans, cornbread.
Speaker 2: Who has it better than we do? No body. Tyler
Speaker 2: comes to me, and he comes to me sheepishly. He's like, Hey,
Speaker 2: the guys in the back think it'd be funny if
Speaker 2: we did baby back ribs because Paulie loves ribs and
Speaker 2: he's not here today. I said, yeah, are you sure?
Speaker 2: Because I don't want him to blame me. I go, no,
Speaker 2: he can blame me. I don't care. It's funny. You
Speaker 2: know when I had my shoulder surgery, would you do
Speaker 2: you had pork shoulder? It's okay, don't worry about it.
Speaker 2: So I gave the green light to smoked baby back
Speaker 2: ribs today. You're welcome eight seven seven three DP Show.
Speaker 2: I'll address DP at Danpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at
Speaker 2: DP show. The calendars are available Danpatrick dot com. In fact,
Speaker 2: we spent the last twenty minutes autographing. You can get
Speaker 2: the regular calendars at Danpatrick dot com. We do have
Speaker 2: some autograph calendars as well. And I will say this,
Speaker 2: and I say this honestly, the month of May is
Speaker 2: a picture of Fritzie re enacting Rocky three looking at
Speaker 2: Jake Paul and Mike Tyson yesterday. They do not look
Speaker 2: in better shape, look better than you when you did
Speaker 2: that picture.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's a very nice company. I think you look
Speaker 2: like you could do some damage. And this is modern
Speaker 2: day Fritzy. Lord knows what you look like twenty five years.
Speaker 4: I'll still take a pass on fighting either one of
Speaker 4: those jobs.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, no, I'm not saying you're gonna fight. By
Speaker 2: the way, now i'm watching it, I'm entertained by it.
Speaker 2: I don't know why I'm entertained by it, but I am.
Speaker 2: And I see Tyson smack Jake Paul and I immediately thought, ooh,
Speaker 2: they need some hype to this fight for some reason,
Speaker 2: or is Mike not picking up his end of the
Speaker 2: hype machine because it feels like it's been Jake Paul.
Speaker 2: And then we'll get a couple of workout videos with
Speaker 2: Mike Tyson, and Tyson's done some interviews, but Jake Paul
Speaker 2: seems to be carrying this. And then I started to
Speaker 2: wonder because people are rooting for Mike Tyson to knock
Speaker 2: this guy out. And my thought was, Jake Paul doesn't
Speaker 2: care if you hate him. He wants you to pay
Speaker 2: to hate him. That's all he cares about. He wants
Speaker 2: you tuning in so you can see Mike Tyson knock
Speaker 2: him out. Jake Paul is the favorite this fight tonight,
Speaker 2: and h we'll talk to a reporter who's covering this
Speaker 2: fight in Dallas. It's going to be big. It'll be
Speaker 2: a big box off, you know. And I go back
Speaker 2: to when Conor McGregor was fighting Floyd Mayweather, and I
Speaker 2: put that in parentheses. It would have been a lot
Speaker 2: more interesting if Floyd would have tried to be UFC
Speaker 2: as opposed to Connor McGregor, who's not a great fighter,
Speaker 2: was going to fight the probably the best tactician who's
Speaker 2: ever gotten the ring. It just wasn't any fun. And
Speaker 2: Floyd Mayweather is not an exciting fighter. He just is great,
Speaker 2: great at what he does. This is Jake Paul fighting
Speaker 2: Mike Tyson. Now granted there's a thirty year separation here,
Speaker 2: but we all think about when you say Mike Tyson,
Speaker 2: it's like all one punch, one punch. And Seaton was
Speaker 2: asking me how many fights of Mike that I saw,
Speaker 2: and I said, I said, I think between six and eight,
Speaker 2: and I think all of them except for one, were
Speaker 2: first round knockouts, and you just got accustomed to that.
Speaker 2: You had to be in your seat because it was
Speaker 2: going to end quickly, whether it was Michael Spinx or
Speaker 2: Joe Frazier's son. I was ringside for those. I was
Speaker 2: three rows back for those, and that once again you
Speaker 2: get a heavyweight title fight, and that's not what this is.
Speaker 2: But when you have that anticipation where two guys are
Speaker 2: going in, chances are one guy is going to walk
Speaker 2: out on his own power. There's nothing like it. Nothing
Speaker 2: and all the sporting events I've ever been to, when
Speaker 2: Mike would walk into the ring, and I've said this before,
Speaker 2: it's as if he left the car running. I'm going
Speaker 2: to knock you out and then I'm gonna go party,
Speaker 2: and you see that's what would happen. But Mike looks good,
Speaker 2: and there's eight rounds two minutes per round, So you
Speaker 2: know that extra minute. Fighters will tell you that extra minute.
Speaker 2: You know when you're gonna put on fourteen ounce gloves
Speaker 2: and you're gonna get in there and you're gonna go
Speaker 2: three minutes. Three minutes is a long time. If you've
Speaker 2: never just had boxing gloves on and sparred with somebody
Speaker 2: or done the speedbag, it's long time. And that's what
Speaker 2: I worried about with Mike, that if it was three
Speaker 2: rounds or three minutes per round, Mike's hands would start
Speaker 2: to droop a little bit and then Jake Paul would
Speaker 2: probably knock him out. But I think we're all rooting
Speaker 2: for Mike Tyson. I just don't want to see him
Speaker 2: knocked out. You know, you see these guys. I first
Speaker 2: met Mike in nineteen eighty six. I want to continue
Speaker 2: to have You know, we still see the Buster Douglas punch.
Speaker 2: We watched it this morning, when Mike's reaching for his mouthpiece.
Speaker 2: You don't want to remember him that way. But Buster
Speaker 2: was a better fighter. You know, Mike is a knockout specialist.
Speaker 2: And we've said before on this show, if you box Mike,
Speaker 2: you can beat Mike, because once he got past that
Speaker 2: second or third round. He knew he was in trouble.
Speaker 2: That's why he could never beat Holyfield or Lennox Lewis.
Speaker 2: They were great boxers. Mike is not a great boxer.
Speaker 2: But if he hits you, you're going down.
Speaker 5: Yes, Marvl in real time in February nineteen ninety, when
Speaker 5: Buster Douglas knocked out Mike Tyson, Like, what was the
Speaker 5: reaction when you told somebody or somebody told you what
Speaker 5: happened during that Tyson Douglas fight.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm at Sports Center, and I remember nobody was
Speaker 2: sending anybody to Japan to watch that, to cover that,
Speaker 2: because it's like Mike Tyson against Buster Douglas. Eric Clemens
Speaker 2: was a sports anchor reporter for the Mothership and we
Speaker 2: sent him. Well, thank god we did, because he covered
Speaker 2: one of the biggest upsets in boxing history. I don't
Speaker 2: think anybody thought that Mike was going to lose to
Speaker 2: Buster Douglas because up to that point, Buster Douglas was
Speaker 2: just a big guy, had talent, but not much more
Speaker 2: than that. And he caught Mike and that was it
Speaker 2: caught him. But I think I just want to see
Speaker 2: it a good fight, competitive fight, or at least the
Speaker 2: best they can. And I'm with you if you said
Speaker 2: that the following that slap looks staged? It? Did it
Speaker 2: looks staged like I would like for one of those
Speaker 2: guys to punch somebody, like not slap. And did Jake
Speaker 2: Paul step on Mike's foot? Did Mike show up in
Speaker 2: socks to the to the way in he had his
Speaker 2: speedo on? And I don't know, those things are always weird,
Speaker 2: like men really really really really close to him one another.
Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever been that close to a
Speaker 2: man before. But uh, in boxing or UFC, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: get so close to you, I'm gonna smell your breath,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna look into your eyes, I'm gonna pound you.
Speaker 2: And plus the language that they say to one another,
Speaker 2: what they're gonna do to each other, It's like, that's weird.
Speaker 2: But Jake Paul, Mike Tyson coming up tonight's plan accordingly. Uh,
Speaker 2: we'll have a poll question, play of the day, stat
Speaker 2: of the day, all of that forthcoming. Devin mccordy, three
Speaker 2: time Super Bowl champ with the Patriots, will recap what
Speaker 2: we saw last night the Eagles over Washington. Uh Ariel
Speaker 2: Helwani reporter for the Mike Tyson, Jake Paul Fight will
Speaker 2: join us and Brian Windhorst. We wanted to have him
Speaker 2: on so he could kind of clarify what he said
Speaker 2: where it was more of an opinion than a report
Speaker 2: about Bronnie James being in the G League but not traveling.
Speaker 2: And I thought that it kind of painted Brownie as
Speaker 2: a diva that he doesn't go on the road, And
Speaker 2: I thought, you know what, let's get Brian Windhorst on.
Speaker 2: Nobody knows that family better than he does. But I
Speaker 2: wanted to be fair to him of how it sounded
Speaker 2: to me. Yes, that's the.
Speaker 6: Tricky thing about what Brian Windhorst said, because statements like
Speaker 6: that tend to stick to other people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know where two years from now, it's.
Speaker 6: Going to be like, oh, remember Bronnie wouldn't fly United,
Speaker 6: wouldn't fly Coach and now he's got a you know,
Speaker 6: he's not flying commercial anymore.
Speaker 2: What happened to that? And he didn't even say that
Speaker 2: somebody else did.
Speaker 6: Yes, you know, yes, those things stick to people and
Speaker 6: become that whole perception becomes reality kind of thing.
Speaker 2: Yes, And when you're an insider, when you say something
Speaker 2: like this. You can have insiders, shouldn't have opinions because
Speaker 2: it feels like your opinion turns into a report. And
Speaker 2: Wendy has been on the show many times in what's
Speaker 2: he say, Hey, I'm not reporting this. We didn't say
Speaker 2: that in this instance, and it felt like Bronnie is, yes,
Speaker 2: he's being treated differently, but it sounded like he wants
Speaker 2: to be treated differently. So that'll be a little bit
Speaker 2: later on. We say good morning. If you're watching on Peacock,
Speaker 2: thank you for downloading the app. That's our streaming partner.
Speaker 2: Phone calls, we'll get to those coming up. Operator Tyler's
Speaker 2: sitting by and our radio affiliates around the country. We're
Speaker 2: in four hundred and ten cities around the country. So
Speaker 2: we'll recap the football. Saquon had two touchdowns in twenty seconds.
Speaker 2: If I would have said to Washington fans, the head
Speaker 2: coach Dan Quinn, hey, at some point your team is
Speaker 2: going to fall fall to seven and four this year,
Speaker 2: said sign me up. But Washington falls to seven and four,
Speaker 2: they're gonna need three more wins to make the playoffs.
Speaker 2: They have to go three and three. But if I
Speaker 2: would have said Washington, they're going to lose to the
Speaker 2: Eagles and fall to seven and four. If you're a
Speaker 2: Washington fan, you would have said, sign me up. And
Speaker 2: for everybody saying the following, Saquon Barkley, man, look what
Speaker 2: the Giants lost. He would not be having this season
Speaker 2: with the Giants. He's on the perfect team. The only
Speaker 2: other team that he could be doing this on would
Speaker 2: be San Francisco. If Christian McCaffrey wasn't there, he would
Speaker 2: not be doing this with the Giants. It's just like
Speaker 2: Derrick Henry wouldn't be doing this for the Titans. He
Speaker 2: wouldn't be doing this for the Dallas Cowboys. You know,
Speaker 2: you have to play situational here. Saquon Barkley's with the
Speaker 2: right team, just like Derrick Henry is. The Eagles beat
Speaker 2: the Commanders, so they won six in a row and
Speaker 2: this is the third con Executive year. The Eagles have
Speaker 2: had a winning streak of at least six games and
Speaker 2: they're rushing the football. It feels like it's built around
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley. The running game is so important for the Ravens.
Speaker 2: The running game is so important for Detroit. We're seeing
Speaker 2: a shift and I thought we were going to see it,
Speaker 2: and here it is the marquee teams can run the football,
Speaker 2: and you see the success rate that Baltimore's having, Detroit
Speaker 2: is having, and Philadelphia Philadelphia's happening having. Todd, are you
Speaker 2: doing the pole questions today?
Speaker 4: We could seem still here to do the pole questions?
Speaker 2: Okay, well you just sent me about seven of them,
Speaker 2: so I didn't know it's a little aggressive. Well, it
Speaker 2: is a Friday. It is this Friday Seaton. You want
Speaker 2: to start us off with the pole question?
Speaker 6: Okay, sure, I've actually had I don't know that we've
Speaker 6: ever had more pole question suggestions in one day from
Speaker 6: a whole group of people.
Speaker 2: Well, this is collaborative with Paulie not being well coming
Speaker 2: out of the woodwork, Yes we are.
Speaker 6: Okay, yah, Well we could start with the obvious that's
Speaker 6: going to go up there. Who you got Jake Paul,
Speaker 6: Mike Tyson. Okay, if you ask this Seaton, who do
Speaker 6: you want to win? Who do you think will win?
Speaker 2: What do you think the separation the difference would be
Speaker 2: and the percentages there? Because it feels like Jake Paul's
Speaker 2: going to win, but I want Mike Tyson to win.
Speaker 6: Right, That's the feeling. I get, Yeah, that's very much.
Speaker 6: That's exactly how I break down. I really want Mike
Speaker 6: Tyson to win, but I think he's gonna get destroyed.
Speaker 2: I kind of do, yeah, But these things are always
Speaker 2: set up because I don't know. I covered so many
Speaker 2: fights in my days. It always felt like that guy's
Speaker 2: going to lose because they have to have a rematch
Speaker 2: so then that guy can win, and then then they
Speaker 2: have another one. It's like you got to have a trilogy.
Speaker 2: Mike's Mike's too old to have more fights. I think
Speaker 2: he might be too old to have this fight. What
Speaker 2: else do we have? Their seaton?
Speaker 6: Well, the slap has caused a reaction. Paulie sent this
Speaker 6: one in. Actually, uh, who thinks the result of the
Speaker 6: Tyson Paul fight has been dot dot dot predetermined?
Speaker 2: Oh? I thought he was gonna say, do you think
Speaker 2: the slap was real? Well, that's gonna be another question.
Speaker 2: Was that slap real? Actually? I was wondering too.
Speaker 6: After feeling that slap, Jake Paul should be more confident
Speaker 6: or less confident.
Speaker 2: Well, he acted like it didn't hurt it. He's like turned.
Speaker 2: I think he was honored that Tyson slapped him.
Speaker 6: You know he stood there and took it, but his
Speaker 6: neck spun almost three hundred and sixty degrees. I mean
Speaker 6: that dude, he stood there and took it, but he
Speaker 6: got rocked.
Speaker 2: Did Mike also hit him below the belt?
Speaker 7: Like?
Speaker 2: Did he? Somebody said, hey, he slapped him, but he
Speaker 2: also hit him in the junk, And I'm like, I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 6: He did like what your older brother would do, like
Speaker 6: he would go hit you in the face of the
Speaker 6: hitching the nuts. At the same time, liked Dave, Mom, Yeah, Mom,
Speaker 6: slap boxing. You gotta cover one. Come on, dude, Uh,
Speaker 6: here's one for you. Okay, we'll switch up topics a
Speaker 6: little bit, bigger overreaction. Jayden Daniels is an MVP contender
Speaker 6: or Todd is in just as good as shape as
Speaker 6: Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.
Speaker 2: No, he looks he looks in better shape than those
Speaker 2: two guys. I'm telling you, I'm not lying. The months
Speaker 2: is a very deceiving the month of May. And I
Speaker 2: don't know if the French kid photoshopped anything, but you
Speaker 2: look like you, I'm telling you. And this isn't a
Speaker 2: ploy to have you buy the calendar. I mean it
Speaker 2: could be, but I'm telling you the month to may.
Speaker 2: You own it, and they have been holding my breath
Speaker 2: for a while. It doesn't matter you look, I mean
Speaker 2: you're ready to go. If you posted that and said
Speaker 2: this is who the winner of this fight is going
Speaker 2: to fight, and if they didn't know you, they'd be like,
Speaker 2: a guy's pretty jack there and you're around Tyson's age,
Speaker 2: super heavyweight to number one. All right, Seaton, I interrupted you.
Speaker 6: Uh, it's funny too. We could actually uh track the
Speaker 6: sales right to the minute when you said Todd looks
Speaker 6: like he's in just as good a shape as those
Speaker 6: two boxers. We could see if there was an uptick
Speaker 6: in sales that people were more interested.
Speaker 2: But can you find out if it's the female portion
Speaker 2: of the audience. I don't think we need to worry
Speaker 2: about it. Whoever buys it, Okay, No, we're not judging.
Speaker 4: I'd be just as flattered if guy has found me attractive.
Speaker 8: It's true.
Speaker 6: This is one from Marvin. Oh, Marvin, Marv getting in
Speaker 6: slow down. Everybody's jumping all over that. Wow, what's the
Speaker 6: best sports one hit?
Speaker 2: Wonder?
Speaker 6: That's a pretty good one. Don Larson's perfect game. He
Speaker 6: has Buster Douglas knocking out Mike Tyson, Malcolm Butler, the
Speaker 6: Super Bowl interception, David Tyree's helmet catch. And there's probably
Speaker 6: a bunch that we can go through here. This is
Speaker 6: one that could roll though for a while. All right,
Speaker 6: that's fun. All right, let me take a break. Sliding
Speaker 6: into the weekend Slider Sundays. Our partners Kings Hawaiian. They
Speaker 6: want you to get together with family and friends, enjoy
Speaker 6: the weekend. Make every Sunday a Slider Sunday. Phone calls
Speaker 6: coming up. We got you covered today, We got everything
Speaker 6: across the board. We'll take a break.
Speaker 2: We'll talk to Devin mccordy, three time Super Bowl champ
Speaker 2: with the Patriots. Get his thoughts on the Washington Commanders
Speaker 2: who fall to seven and four. Are the Eagles the
Speaker 2: best team in the NFC ors it's still Detroit, so
Speaker 2: a few things talk to him about back after this.

Speaker 2: We'll settle on a poll question phone calls always welcome,
Speaker 2: eight seven, seven to three DP show Devin mccordy Football
Speaker 2: Night in America, Studio Anas three times, Super Bowl Champ
Speaker 2: Big Game Sunday Night, Chargers and the Bengals. It feels
Speaker 2: like every game for the Bengals is, Hey, this is
Speaker 2: their elimination game. But they're still alive here and I
Speaker 2: think they have the best odds to still make the
Speaker 2: playoffs of the teams that have losing records here. What
Speaker 2: do you make of this matchup, Devin, Yeah, it should be.
Speaker 3: A fun matchup, and I agree, which I think each
Speaker 3: week they play, I think we're all expecting to see
Speaker 3: like this coming out game where they just blow somebody
Speaker 3: out of the water, or they get.
Speaker 4: A big game and they keep falling.
Speaker 3: Sure, so it makes us say, oh, this team, they
Speaker 3: won't make it, they have no shot.
Speaker 4: But then when you go and look at the standings.
Speaker 3: You realize they might have the best shot out of
Speaker 3: anybody to get into that six or seventh spot and
Speaker 3: get into the playoffs. So I think this will be
Speaker 3: a big game for them against the Chargers, specially because
Speaker 3: they have to play Pittsburgh twice before the season ends.
Speaker 3: But I won't say they're finished even if they lose
Speaker 3: this game.
Speaker 4: But I think.
Speaker 3: Winning this game will propel them to definitely lock down
Speaker 3: one of those last spots in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: The other LA team plays against your Patriots. Like, this
Speaker 2: is a weird game for the Rams, Like they have
Speaker 2: to win this game. It just like if you said
Speaker 2: most must win game of the weekend, I would include
Speaker 2: this because if they all of a sudden drop out
Speaker 2: of playoff contention, I don't Let's look big picture. Is
Speaker 2: Sean McVay going to be back there next year? Is
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford? Like do they do anything in the offseason.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's that important right now, but
Speaker 2: it certainly is a weird game coming off a home
Speaker 2: game where you lost to the Dolphins.
Speaker 3: Well, especially when you think back to a few weeks ago,
Speaker 3: right before the trade deadline, it was there's a chance
Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford gets traded to the Vikens.
Speaker 4: It's the chance Cooper Cup gets traded.
Speaker 3: Then they went Thursday night against the Vikings, and all
Speaker 3: of a sudden, it's they're alive for the playoffs and
Speaker 3: all of these things. So I gotta imagine if they
Speaker 3: don't make the playoffs and this season doesn't end in.
Speaker 4: A way that they feel good about.
Speaker 3: I got to imagine they make a lot of changes
Speaker 3: there and they start to move to the next wave
Speaker 3: or the next team of the of the Rams and
Speaker 3: what they want to do.
Speaker 4: And me and Mike Florio talked about it on Pro
Speaker 4: Football Talk.
Speaker 3: With the seventh spot in the playoffs, there's a chance
Speaker 3: the Patriots are looking like, if we get this win,
Speaker 3: why not us?
Speaker 2: Why not?
Speaker 4: Why can't we jump back in and getting this hunt?
Speaker 3: So I think the Rams are being for a tough
Speaker 3: game at Foxboro early on Sunday, not a normal thing
Speaker 3: for them traveling from the West coast.
Speaker 2: Is it just a coincidence that we're seeing you got
Speaker 2: the Lions, you got the Ravens, you got the Eagles.
Speaker 2: They run the football, they're very successful. Is it just
Speaker 2: a coincidence or do you start to see that teams
Speaker 2: are going to rely on the run a little bit
Speaker 2: more than we have in previous years.
Speaker 4: I think so.
Speaker 3: I think especially how we talked about how the season
Speaker 3: started with a low scoring and not many pass attempts
Speaker 3: and passing touchdowns. You know, in the last few years,
Speaker 3: all we've heard about is devalue to run. We can
Speaker 3: get a running back anywhere, and we see these teams
Speaker 3: who have invested in their running backs. How big of
Speaker 3: a role they're playing at Saquon Barkley. You look at
Speaker 3: Jacobs in Green Bay, you look at Sonic and Knuckles,
Speaker 3: Montgomery and Gibbs and Detroit, like, these teams feature these
Speaker 3: running backs and they're coming through it. They're playing the
Speaker 3: big games, they're making a big play. So yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: playing in New wingand for thirteen years, Coach Belichick, you
Speaker 3: so always say running the football is the formula in
Speaker 3: the playoffs. It's how good teams become championship teams. And
Speaker 3: I think we're seeing that first hand with a lot
Speaker 3: of these good teams in the NFL right now.
Speaker 2: But also you buy into play action now. Play action
Speaker 2: really does mean something and makes these quarterbacks even better.
Speaker 2: Let me start with what Saquon Barkley is doing, because
Speaker 2: we can make an argument that he's had a better
Speaker 2: year than Derrick Henry and I don't think people were
Speaker 2: gonna say that a couple of weeks ago, but it
Speaker 2: feels like that offense is going through Saquon Barkley in Philadelphia.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean even how the season started. Remember he's
Speaker 3: out in Brazil against Ring Bay three touchdowns to start
Speaker 3: off his Eagles career and all he's done since that
Speaker 3: has set up everybody else. So no matter what his
Speaker 3: numbers look like, at the end of any game, when
Speaker 3: you watch the game, he is setting up the throws
Speaker 3: to aj Brown, the throws of Devonte Smith. They're jailing
Speaker 3: Hurst one yard runs, you know, on the goal line.
Speaker 3: So this team has revolved around Saquon Barkley. And you
Speaker 3: saw last night as he gets going in any any
Speaker 3: given moment in a game, he can make one or
Speaker 3: two cuts and he's gone that play making ability from
Speaker 3: the running back position, running and catching the ball.
Speaker 4: The guy's phenomenal.
Speaker 3: And you know, credit to him of all to talk
Speaker 3: about him not being the same. He gets to a
Speaker 3: new spot and shows his value and I mean arguably
Speaker 3: could be, you know, the offensive player of the year
Speaker 3: playing running back the way he's played this year.
Speaker 2: And in fairness though to the Giants, I know they
Speaker 2: didn't bring him back. I would have brought him back.
Speaker 2: If I'm bringing Daniel Jones back, I have to have
Speaker 2: Saquon because Daniel Jones needs saque But Saquon wouldn't be
Speaker 2: doing this for the Giants this year. He's with the
Speaker 2: perfect team. Derek Henry wouldn't be doing this for the
Speaker 2: Titans of the Cowboys. He's with the perfect team. So
Speaker 2: I think, you know, everybody's going to bang on the
Speaker 2: Giants to say, how could you let him go? They
Speaker 2: should have let Daniel Jones go. And if you want
Speaker 2: to let Saquon go and then do a complete rebuild,
Speaker 2: I think that's where they made the mistake here. What
Speaker 2: do you think?
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think I think one of the biggest things.
Speaker 3: And you know, it's some situation for them, because once
Speaker 3: you let hard knocks in, we get to see everything.
Speaker 3: And I think the way they value Saquon Barkley, if
Speaker 3: you if you value a guy around the market and
Speaker 3: you understand, hey, we might be losing them for this price,
Speaker 3: and it felt like they thought they would lose him,
Speaker 3: possibly for like ten million dollars a year, when realistically
Speaker 3: a year ago they offered him more money than that.
Speaker 3: So I think if we would have taken this back
Speaker 3: a year ago, they would have matched that offer and
Speaker 3: they abule have paid it. But coming into this offseason,
Speaker 3: they just didn't think anybody else would pay him, and
Speaker 3: I think that's what stings the Giants fans as you
Speaker 3: watch hard knocks and them sitting there saying, well, no
Speaker 3: one going to pay him that, And then you find
Speaker 3: out Houston's willing, Philly's willing, and then you're seeing the
Speaker 3: impact even Joe Mixon what he's doing at Houston. You're
Speaker 3: seeing what these running backs are doing for their teams.
Speaker 3: But then the Giants fans take a breath and realize
Speaker 3: what you just said. Dan, even if he was there,
Speaker 3: you might win one or one more game, maybe two
Speaker 3: more games, but he wouldn't be the Philadelphia Eagles Sakuon
Speaker 3: Barklet I was seeing Now.
Speaker 2: He's Devin mccordy, and you can see him on Football
Speaker 2: Night in America's studio analysts won three Super Bowls with
Speaker 2: the Patriots. There's been a lot of talk about Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers led when he was on the field. He's
Speaker 2: not a leader, vocal leader off the field in the
Speaker 2: locker room. You played with Brady, so Brady led by example,
Speaker 2: but he seemed to be very vocal in the locker room.
Speaker 2: Can you give us an idea of maybe what Brady
Speaker 2: did as opposed to what Rogers is apparently doing or
Speaker 2: not doing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll speak to Tom. I think the best part
Speaker 3: about Tom's leadership came from this old guy in the
Speaker 3: locker room. At some point he was the guys, you know,
Speaker 3: the guys on our team, the young guys. He was
Speaker 3: the same age as their dads, and he made sure
Speaker 3: that they all felt welcome. He made sure that they
Speaker 3: felt like he was just a friend. And I think
Speaker 3: that enabled him to be one of the guys. And
Speaker 3: then from a leadership standpoint, yes, he was gonna come
Speaker 3: in early, he was gonna do all those things. He's
Speaker 3: gonna go play great ball on Sundays, but when things
Speaker 3: weren't going right, he was gonna let everybody know it
Speaker 3: was unacceptable. There was a standard that needed to be met,
Speaker 3: not just on Sunday when people would see him slam
Speaker 3: the surface or yell at guys. This would happen in practice.
Speaker 3: You start a period off in the first three plays,
Speaker 3: feed bad. Coach Belichick sometimes wouldn't even have to say anything.
Speaker 3: Tom would start cursing, cursing everybody out and say start
Speaker 3: the period over. This isn't good enough. And when you
Speaker 3: get a player that does stuff like that, everyone right
Speaker 3: away takes a step back and says, oh, like I
Speaker 3: need to step up. And that was Tom every single day.
Speaker 3: And I think you saw that even though I wasn't
Speaker 3: in that locker room when he went to Tampa, but
Speaker 3: everybody else's level went higher to try to meet his.
Speaker 3: One of the best leaders, I got the opportunity to
Speaker 3: be around just day in and day out, leading guys
Speaker 3: by example, but also being a voice if he felt
Speaker 3: like that's what the team needed.
Speaker 2: Did you play in the sunshine in Dallas? I did?
Speaker 4: I did? Danny A. Mondola twenty fifteen.
Speaker 3: He has a really cool picture standing back waiting to
Speaker 3: catch a kick, and I know he couldn't see the ball,
Speaker 3: but there's the photo that they got him with the
Speaker 3: sun hitting. It should be somewhere hanging in his house.
Speaker 3: It was beautiful, but definitely couldn't see the ball.
Speaker 2: Did he catch the ball? Let the ball go over
Speaker 2: and couldn't see it? But isn't a home field advantage?
Speaker 2: In fairness to Jerry Jones? Should this? Is this a
Speaker 2: home field advantage for the Cowboys? No?
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, you can know the sun's gonna hit
Speaker 3: and you can try off the coin tossing all that
Speaker 3: of figuring out which quarter you want the sun but
Speaker 3: which which play in the game is going to be
Speaker 3: the play that decide the game, that's gonna be the
Speaker 3: big Like you can't determine only the fourth quarter matter.
Speaker 3: So we're gonna do the sun that way, Like you
Speaker 3: can't do that in a game. And I think we
Speaker 3: saw that with Ceedee Lamb as he's running across and
Speaker 3: he's open, but he can't see the ball like.
Speaker 4: That touchdown matters. You can't pick and choose that.
Speaker 3: So yeah, there's some things that to me become a
Speaker 3: home field advantage because you can practice in it. When
Speaker 3: we were in New England, we practice in the cold
Speaker 3: every single day.
Speaker 4: The cold was an advantage for us.
Speaker 3: You really, like, it's hard to practice the sun beating
Speaker 3: in your eyes and saying, hey, I'm gonna throw the
Speaker 3: ball at you full speed, memorize how it's coming and catch,
Speaker 3: like you really can't do that. So I do I
Speaker 3: do not see that as a home field ad vantish
Speaker 3: for Dallas.
Speaker 2: But you so you have to embrace the cold. You
Speaker 2: may not like the cold, but but you so, if
Speaker 2: Tampa was coming up or the Dolphins were coming up,
Speaker 2: why can't they embrace it? Why why can't they get
Speaker 2: acclimated to that.
Speaker 4: You can try mentally, but the truth is science. Your
Speaker 4: body is.
Speaker 3: Used to being in seventy five eighty degree weather, and
Speaker 3: as soon as you step off the plane, you're the win.
Speaker 4: Everything hits you like whoa.
Speaker 3: It was the same way when we would go to
Speaker 3: Miami in December and January. We would go inside our indoor,
Speaker 3: crank the heat up, make it super hot, wear a sweatshirt.
Speaker 3: In practice. When you stepped off that plane in Miami
Speaker 3: and that sun hit you, we knew right away it
Speaker 3: felt like we had walked into a sauna. It just
Speaker 3: your body has to try to activate right away and
Speaker 3: it never works out the way you want. You can
Speaker 3: fight through it being mentally tough, but it's an adjustment
Speaker 3: that's not easy to make whenever you switch those climates.
Speaker 2: Okay, but you had to see guys come on the field.
Speaker 2: Teams come on the field in New England when it's cold,
Speaker 2: and just see it on their face. Right.
Speaker 3: Oh, when you see guys out there in pregame and
Speaker 3: they got five hoodies on, they got gloves, a hat
Speaker 3: and they're over there and the hands are going like
Speaker 3: this NonStop. We would sit on the sideline and we
Speaker 3: was like, God them, we got them, like they're done,
Speaker 3: they have no shot today. So it was always fun
Speaker 3: knowing if we could play at home in the playoffs
Speaker 3: and get a warm weather team.
Speaker 4: We felt pretty good about that.
Speaker 2: Good to talk to you. We'll be watching Sunday night.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Devin, No problem. Good to see you, Devin mccordy.
Speaker 2: NBC Football Night in America studio analysts, and they got
Speaker 2: the Chargers and the Bengals the most watched weekly studio
Speaker 2: show in sports for eighteen consecutive years. Well, I'll take
Speaker 2: a little credit on that. I think I was there
Speaker 2: for nine or ten years out of the eighteen years.
Speaker 2: Good for them. A couple of phone calls Buddha Buddha
Speaker 2: in San Francisco, Good morning.
Speaker 9: Buddha, no money, Happy meet Friday boys.
Speaker 10: Let's go pretty.
Speaker 9: Dan find minute poll question. Who's who's slap was better?
Speaker 9: Mike Tyson slap and Jake Paul or Will Myth slapping
Speaker 9: Chris Rock.
Speaker 8: But DP.
Speaker 9: Listening to Shak yesterday reminded me that he's kind of
Speaker 9: like a Charles in the sense that he's become a
Speaker 9: national treasure and I just would love to know what
Speaker 9: Shane Irving's reaction was to when Shaq said he's confident
Speaker 9: that the Cowboys would win seven straight games. I'm like,
Speaker 9: oh my god, but uh, I've never wanted Mike Tyson
Speaker 9: to win more in my life.
Speaker 2: Dan as an underdog.
Speaker 9: I mean, but there's a great video from when Ali
Speaker 9: was on the Arsenio Hall Show with Mike and Ali
Speaker 9: said he's scared of Mike, and then Ali said Tyson
Speaker 9: would win against him in his prime if he could
Speaker 9: catch him because Ali could dance.
Speaker 2: It just told her.
Speaker 9: Reminded me of the interview he had with Deon Sanders
Speaker 9: when he's telling his story about when he was trying
Speaker 9: to tackle Bo Jackson and Dion said, doctor fly.
Speaker 2: Boys, thank you, Bud. I have a good weekend.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Ali would destroy Mike type like Allie was a big,
Speaker 2: tall guide. I mean, Mike couldn't beat Lennox Lewis. You're
Speaker 2: not he couldn't bet a Evander Holyfield. You're not beating
Speaker 2: Muhammad Ali. Not happened. Uh, let me see Dylan in California, Hidyll,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 8: Hey morning, Dan Dans happy to meet Friday. Hey. I
Speaker 8: wanted to offer some condolences as a fellow sufferer of ADHD.
Speaker 8: And you know it could be worse. You could be
Speaker 8: Colin Coward. And yes I did say coward because he
Speaker 8: famously questioned your work ethic. Earlier this week, he talked
Speaker 8: about how Christiane Wilkins could possibly be a difference maker
Speaker 8: in the Dolphins rams game. Well, that's may be true
Speaker 8: if he was not on injurr Preserve and playing for
Speaker 8: the Raiders.
Speaker 2: All right, well, thank you, thank you for having my back.
Speaker 2: That was a long time ago that that colin my
Speaker 2: work ethic, and that would never happen again. But that's fine.
Speaker 2: We co exist. His show follows my show on Fox Sports,
Speaker 2: and he's doing very well. You should acknowledge the fifty
Speaker 2: producers we have in the back end, all the production people.
Speaker 2: That wasn't fair what what he said. I mean we
Speaker 2: we have a skeleton crew, but my crew dominates any
Speaker 2: other crew. Yes, don I second that. Friday Eric in
Speaker 2: Green Bay, Hi Eric, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 7: Hi Dan, Good morning Danny episode. Happy meet Friday. Dan
Speaker 7: at a Native Island. I wanted to encourage you all
Speaker 7: to take the road trip to the Hawkeye State sometime.
Speaker 7: I'm from Dubuque, Iowa, in the northeast corner of the state.
Speaker 7: Debuke's a very nice small city not very far from
Speaker 7: the Field of Dreams. Surrounding countryside is like chicken soup
Speaker 7: for the soul. There would be calling a picturesque. You
Speaker 7: won't regret the trip. But the real reason why I'm
Speaker 7: calling is that I've listened to you contemplate a trip
Speaker 7: out to Green Bay. I'm doing a show here during
Speaker 7: the NFL Draft next year. Now, I don't own a bar,
Speaker 7: but I do own a small professional building here, not
Speaker 7: too far from Lambeau is very modern, spacious, and architecturally
Speaker 7: very striking. I think beautiful Dan is a practicing dentist
Speaker 7: for over thirty years. I'd like to try to heal
Speaker 7: the apparent risk between the Dan Patrick show and the
Speaker 7: dental profession by offering you a use of the space
Speaker 7: during the draft next year. Yeah, it's an unconventional choice,
Speaker 7: mind you, But if I've learned anything over the years
Speaker 7: following the show, you guys are all very comfortable with
Speaker 7: the unconventional.
Speaker 2: Hold on Doctor Seaton.
Speaker 6: Yes, Eric, I just wanted to make sure that if
Speaker 6: you volunteered the space and we did use it, you
Speaker 6: can't talk the entire time while we're on the air, though,
Speaker 6: you understand that, right.
Speaker 2: No problem, Okay, great, Yeah, because when you're working on people,
Speaker 2: you're constantly talking, but when we're talking, you can't talk.
Speaker 11: Eric, I'm just going along with the big guys as
Speaker 11: a bonus. As a bonus, there's a bar about two
Speaker 11: hundred yards out my front door with golf simulators inside.
Speaker 11: Is an extra enticement, So take it over.
Speaker 2: Okay, you know what. I'm going to have Tyler take
Speaker 2: your information, Eric, and then we'll reach out. So we
Speaker 2: want to go to Green Bay for drafts at the
Speaker 2: draft and if somebody wants to host us, then great,
Speaker 2: but we would like to have our audience be able
Speaker 2: to watch the show. So it's a big deal. And
Speaker 2: the Iowa trip we're looking at sometime next year that
Speaker 2: I'd like to go to five cities in five days
Speaker 2: with the dan Ems and we're working on that. And
Speaker 2: thank you for all the suggestions and people who have
Speaker 2: said that they would host us. We appreciate that. And
Speaker 2: I'm thinking we have dinner maybe at somebody's home each night,
Speaker 2: supper live, I don't know, five different dinners go in. Yes,
Speaker 2: Sally's there with the apron on Tommy's outside chopping wood.
Speaker 2: We walk in each night. Yes, yeah, if they come
Speaker 2: in for supper, they have like a bell that they
Speaker 2: ring and then you run in and.
Speaker 5: Then you bang on the pots and pans while they're
Speaker 5: trying to cook.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna bang on the drums all day. All right,
Speaker 2: let me take a break. Got our play of the
Speaker 2: day up next.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 10: Wap oh my God.
Speaker 2: Of the day. This is the play of the day.
Speaker 8: Check this out.
Speaker 12: Flanking Hurts to his left is Barkley. Shotgun formation, hand off,
Speaker 12: Barkley running right. He's got a hole till the twenty
Speaker 12: fifteen cuts it to the ten down the side on
Speaker 12: touch down on it. Barksley comes the distance twenty three
Speaker 12: yards for the score and the Eagles get the pad if.
Speaker 1: They were looking for.
Speaker 2: That's courtesy of Fan Duels Sports Network. Sounded like Iron
Speaker 2: Eagle on the call. I think guess Westwood one Radio
Speaker 2: is what that is. But it's still Iron Eagle with
Speaker 2: our buddy Ross Tucker. So Saquon Barkley is one hundred
Speaker 2: and seventy five yards away from matching his career best
Speaker 2: that was in twenty twenty two. Got plenty of time
Speaker 2: to do that. That's your Play of the Day. Play
Speaker 2: the Day brought to you by ti rack dot com,
Speaker 2: the official tire expert of the Dan Patrick Show. Go
Speaker 2: to tyrack dot com slaes Dan. You can use the
Speaker 2: Tire Decision Guy and see the full lineup of Toyo

Speaker 2: tirac dot com. The Way Tire Buying Should Be. There
Speaker 2: was a weird moment in the boxing press conference, and
Speaker 2: there I've been to so many of those, and you
Speaker 2: kind of expect that there's going to be a little altercation.
Speaker 2: But the weird part was it didn't seem like Mike
Speaker 2: was playing because if you watch how Jake Paul comes
Speaker 2: up onto the stage up under Mike and then Mike
Speaker 2: smacks him right away, and then Jake Paul said, you know,
Speaker 2: I didn't really feel that, you know, he's an elf,
Speaker 2: he's uh, and then all of a sudden he goes
Speaker 2: WWE and then he does his Hey, I got I'm
Speaker 2: gonna use this to hype the fight here and I've
Speaker 2: gotta tell you know, and you're like, okay, he really
Speaker 2: flips the switch in like not even half a second. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Like I didn't even feel him hit me.
Speaker 6: He wasn't even like a real flaps the funny like okay, door, Like,
Speaker 6: where did this guy go?
Speaker 2: Matt in Pennsylvania him?
Speaker 7: Matt?
Speaker 2: What's on your mind today?
Speaker 13: Good morning, Dan? How are you great?
Speaker 8: Man?
Speaker 13: I just wanted to give your listeners perspective of what
Speaker 13: it was like to work in Atlantic City in the
Speaker 13: eighties during a golden nat of boxing, especially during the
Speaker 13: Mike Tyson weekends. I think there was five hundred and
Speaker 13: twenty five championship bounce in the eighties in the Atlantic
Speaker 13: City casinos, and if New York Boxers is in New
Speaker 13: York was all over the place, same with Philly Boxers.
Speaker 13: But Mike Tyson weekends. The city was on fire, and
Speaker 13: I was a restaurant manager. I remember watching Leon Spinks
Speaker 13: sitting with his brother Michael for breakfast the morning that
Speaker 13: he was going to fight Mike Tyson, and you could
Speaker 13: see in his face, you know, I know people, he
Speaker 13: wanted to be anywhere but there, and he was so scared.
Speaker 13: I actually when they left. I actually walked right past
Speaker 13: his booth to see if there was a stain at
Speaker 13: the booth. I mean it was.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 13: It was that you could see in his eyes that
Speaker 13: he was so scared. I forget how long it lasted,
Speaker 13: but but Mike Tyson weekend in the city, it was
Speaker 13: was was just nuts.
Speaker 2: Well. Having gone to those fights in Atlantic City, and
Speaker 2: actually I did interviews with Michael Spinks and then Butch
Speaker 2: Lewis I believe was his manager, and Butch never wore
Speaker 2: He wore a suit, but he didn't wear a shirt
Speaker 2: underneath it. And I don't know why, but I remember
Speaker 2: interviewing Michael Spinks and I realized now he was a champion,
Speaker 2: but he was a light heavyweight champ. Mike, everybody, it's
Speaker 2: like the people around you go, man, you can make
Speaker 2: a lot of money, you can go up there, you
Speaker 2: can go up in weight class. All the people telling you, hey,
Speaker 2: you can get in there with him, you can box him.
Speaker 2: They don't get in the ring. You get in the ring.
Speaker 2: And poor Mike, because Michael Spinks deserved better than that.
Speaker 2: He never should have been in there with Tyson because
Speaker 2: he was a great fighter. And you just saw that
Speaker 2: and it was not pretty. It was It's almost as
Speaker 2: if you say, all right, I know it's gonna hurt,
Speaker 2: just get it over with, and then boom he was
Speaker 2: down h James in Virginia. James's team falls to seven
Speaker 2: and four. But if I said that at the beginning
Speaker 2: of the year, you would have been thrilled to be
Speaker 2: seven and four at this point, how are you?
Speaker 10: They were taking my call brother, Happy Friday, DP Dan
Speaker 10: at salute the commanders man. I was telling Tyler Man,
Speaker 10: it's a little somber today because it was definitely a
Speaker 10: game that they had a chance to win, even though
Speaker 10: they were once again out gained time of possession, they
Speaker 10: were only three for twelve on third down, but they
Speaker 10: were still in the fight. I think not going for
Speaker 10: not kicking that field going fourth down definitely took the
Speaker 10: win from their sales. I don't think Jayden Daniels is
Speaker 10: as healthy as people are alled to believe. He was
Speaker 10: dirting a lot of balls last night. But the silver
Speaker 10: lining is they didn't play their two best games the
Speaker 10: last two games, so but they were still in both
Speaker 10: of those games. And you're right, seven to four is
Speaker 10: a good mark. But here's the caveat the next three
Speaker 10: are probably the most important three. They got Gallas, the Titans,
Speaker 10: and the Saints. Gotta win these three in a row
Speaker 10: if they want to push for the playoffs. I would
Speaker 10: hate for them to have such a great start and
Speaker 10: miss the playoffs like the ninety sixteen and the eighteenth.
Speaker 10: They don't have nothing to do with the team now,
Speaker 10: but when you look back in history, they definitely took
Speaker 10: his kids in the past, man. But going forward, I'm
Speaker 10: very excited to see what they can do. They get
Speaker 10: ten days off, try to get healthy, try to regroup.
Speaker 10: But yes, certainly is somber today for me. But love Washington, man,
Speaker 10: I really appreciate you guys. Salute the commanders. Have a
Speaker 10: wonderful day.
Speaker 2: All right. James seemed a little down there. He usually
Speaker 2: sees the glasses half full, usually with James, but he
Speaker 2: does bring up a good point. These next three games,
Speaker 2: you know, with Dallas and Tennessee Saints, you're gonna have
Speaker 2: to have ten wins. I think ten wins would get
Speaker 2: you in in the NFC coming up. He was hosting
Speaker 2: the way in the pre fight meeting between Jake Paul
Speaker 2: and Mike Tyson, Arielhelwane'll ask him about the slap and
Speaker 2: when will we realize that this is actually a legitimate
Speaker 2: fight he'll join is coming up next hour.
