Speaker 2: radio affiliates around the country, He's Nick Wright, host the
Speaker 2: First Things First on Fox Sports One and What's Right
Speaker 2: with Nick right on YouTube wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us. Let's go back to Sunday morning.
Speaker 2: Your level of confidence was what extremely high.
Speaker 4: Listen, I said to you, I think I'm sure I
Speaker 4: did that. I knew they could lose. I didn't think
Speaker 4: they I thought it was zero percent. They lost to
Speaker 4: the Texans. I thought they could lose to the Bills,
Speaker 4: but I would have been shocked. And I thought they
Speaker 4: could lose to the Eagles, but I would have been shocked.
Speaker 4: What I obviously did not anticipate at all was the
Speaker 4: method in which they lost. And one of the reasons
Speaker 4: I was so confident is I had said, this is
Speaker 4: a team that you can't blow out, and if it's
Speaker 4: close late, you trust Patrick, and so I didn't think
Speaker 4: the Chiefs were gonna blow out Philly. You know, I
Speaker 4: had respect for Philly, and I think they're a great
Speaker 4: roster and even better than I expected. But yeah, I
Speaker 4: was my confidence Sunday morning. Maybe what might be more
Speaker 4: instructive is my confidence Saturday night, Dan, when at a
Speaker 4: few Super Bowl parties, a few drinks in every Eagles
Speaker 4: fan I saw, if they started talking to me, I'd
Speaker 4: very earnestly look them in the eye and say, I
Speaker 4: really hope tonight is one of the best nights of
Speaker 4: your life, because tomorrow is gonna be one of the worst.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, And that didn't you know it happens?
Speaker 2: I suppose when did you realize you were in trouble
Speaker 2: during the game?
Speaker 4: Probably later than I should have, Dan, to be honest
Speaker 4: with you, ten nothing. I felt, fine, They've come back
Speaker 4: from ten nothing down in every Super or not ten nothing,
Speaker 4: but ten down in every Super Bowl. The pick six,
Speaker 4: even obviously at that moment, oh you're up against it now,
Speaker 4: but I still felt, Okay, get the ball, score, get
Speaker 4: the ball after half. Fine, the three and out after
Speaker 4: the pick six. Everyone points to the interception the next drive.
Speaker 4: But the three and out is what was to me
Speaker 4: really concerning, because it was like, Oh, they know now
Speaker 4: they've got to go, and they don't have answers. So
Speaker 4: in that moment, I was like, oh, they're probably cooked.
Speaker 4: But then one of the downsides dan to a long halftime.
Speaker 4: Do you have enough time to walk around? And I
Speaker 4: had a gosh darn it. I think addics call it
Speaker 4: a moment of clarity, and I was like, this whole
Speaker 4: thing started down twenty four nothing, the first Super Bowl
Speaker 4: they ever won, down twenty four nothing, and then go
Speaker 4: on to run and now down twenty four nothing, with
Speaker 4: mister twenty eight to three in the booth to pull
Speaker 4: off the three peet, I'm like, oh my, and I'm
Speaker 4: now at halftime. I spent most of the time formulating
Speaker 4: my Monday argument as to why a twenty four to
Speaker 4: nothing comeback is so much better than a twenty eight
Speaker 4: to three comeback, and turns out I won't need that argument.
Speaker 3: But how do you explain this?
Speaker 2: If somebody didn't see it, you would say, this is
Speaker 2: why it happened.
Speaker 4: I would say that two most basic reasons are as follows,
Speaker 4: and they both oddly have a direct game corollary and
Speaker 4: the same game reason one the single most and this
Speaker 4: is not a high level analysis, but it's just a
Speaker 4: truism of football, The single most effective way to disrupt
Speaker 4: a great quarterback is to if you can get constant
Speaker 4: pressure without sending extra guys because they're already at a
Speaker 4: number's disadvantage. You got five blocking four the quarterback. So
Speaker 4: if you can get pressured with those four, your seven
Speaker 4: get to guard their five, right, And so that's the
Speaker 4: single best way to do it. They did it brilliantly.
Speaker 4: It was the best any team had done it in
Speaker 4: at least fifteen years in a Super Bowl and more
Speaker 4: on that in a moment. And the second reason is,
Speaker 4: for the first time all year, the moment got to
Speaker 4: the team and got to Patrick. They have been like,
Speaker 4: I'm not going, I'm not here to make excuses. I
Speaker 4: will give context if people want to act like Patrick
Speaker 4: is the first. In fact, he just joins every other
Speaker 4: quarterback ever to have a truly brutal playoff game. But
Speaker 4: the moment got to him. It felt like and the
Speaker 4: last time. And this is where sports are great. In
Speaker 4: my lifetime, there have only been two NFL games played
Speaker 4: where a team walked onto the field and knew, if
Speaker 4: we win today, we are the greatest team of all time.
Speaker 4: Even Super Bowl Patriots Giants and this year's Super Bowl
Speaker 4: now different, greatest team O seven was going for single
Speaker 4: season Chiefs going for the greatest you know stretch and
Speaker 4: it was the exact same blueprint in both games. Got
Speaker 4: home with four and one of the greatest quarterbacks we've
Speaker 4: ever seen was skittish and didn't play well Like that's
Speaker 4: that that that is what happened. Now that game was close,
Speaker 4: obviously this game was not, but that defensive performance holding
Speaker 4: that Patriots seemed to fourteen points. It was unthinkable they
Speaker 4: were fourteen point favorites, and so and so it's we
Speaker 4: saw it a team that all year long, the moment
Speaker 4: was never too big for him. It watching it the
Speaker 4: first people the first third down of the game, Dan
Speaker 4: little easy pass, Mahomes throws it a little behind and
Speaker 4: Kelsey doesn't quite grab it, and you're like, oh, that's weird.
Speaker 4: That was an important play. It's Kel's and it's Mahomes
Speaker 4: and they were both a little off and that was
Speaker 4: the story of the game.
Speaker 3: How much of a hit to Mahomes aura do you think?
Speaker 5: Aura?
Speaker 4: Is a great question. So I think temporarily it hit.
Speaker 4: It's a big hit. This is again where I the
Speaker 4: twenty twenty one AFC Championship game, coming off a year
Speaker 4: they had been blown out in the Super Bowl against
Speaker 4: Tampa and they're up twenty one to three on Cincinnati,
Speaker 4: and then Mahomes played the worst half of his life
Speaker 4: and they lose. That was and then they trade Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 4: The aura, the mystique, all of it was dead and gone.
Speaker 4: They were a one time champion who had back to
Speaker 4: back tough playoff losses and then they spent the last
Speaker 4: three years building that back up, so they're going to
Speaker 4: have to do that again. The can we talk legacy
Speaker 4: stuff for a moment here, sure, because what I and
Speaker 4: I don't think you've done this. But what is really
Speaker 4: frustrating to me, though, is folks acting like, listen, if
Speaker 4: you're an all time great, this doesn't happen to you.
Speaker 4: The fact of the matter is every single all time
Speaker 4: great ever this has happened to. We know Elway got
Speaker 4: annihilated in a bunch of Super Bowls fifty five to ten,
Speaker 4: most notably, Marino got annihilated in his only Super Bowl.
Speaker 4: Peyton Manning got annihilated forty three to eight. People will
Speaker 4: say Joe Montana never did. In fact, Joe Montana was
Speaker 4: perfect in super Bowls. That is true. Joe Montana, also
Speaker 4: in the smack Dad middle of his prime, in back
Speaker 4: to back to back years, was one and done in
Speaker 4: the playoffs back to back to back years, zero playoff touchdowns,
Speaker 4: back to back to back years, blown out in the
Speaker 4: playoffs by a combined score of one hundred and one
Speaker 4: hundred and two to thirty. So and then people say,
Speaker 4: what about Tom Tom the year he was going for
Speaker 4: a three peat, didn't get to have his melt down
Speaker 4: in the Super Bowl because he threw a pick six
Speaker 4: to let a game get out of hand against Jake
Speaker 4: Plumber in round two. So I'm not making excuses. I
Speaker 4: am saying the one thing Patrick had on his resume,
Speaker 4: depending on how you judge that Tampa Super Bowl was
Speaker 4: never a moment like this. Now he has it and
Speaker 4: he joins literally every other quarterback ever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd only push back on a little bit with that.
Speaker 2: If Mahomes had won forty to twenty two, we might
Speaker 2: be having a conversation of a larger picture of Mahomes
Speaker 2: with Brady. Now now they're even uh that.
Speaker 4: I so that is where that is where I totally
Speaker 4: agree with you. What this game did. I don't think
Speaker 4: I think anyone acting like it moved Mahomes backwards. I
Speaker 4: think is being dishonest or unfair. It not only did
Speaker 4: it stall the progress, but had they won, I woul
Speaker 4: now I would have come on here and said he
Speaker 4: doesn't need seven. In fact, he might already be the
Speaker 4: best ever seven years, four rings a three peat, you know, boom.
Speaker 4: But now Brady also went back to back, right, So
Speaker 4: like you didn't do something he didn't do. So now
Speaker 4: it's like it he walked onto the field, and it's
Speaker 4: like there could be a real goat debate Monday morning,
Speaker 4: a real debate, I think. And now the earliest that
Speaker 4: can probably happen is twenty thirty. And so yes, like,
Speaker 4: I agree with you entirely on that.
Speaker 2: He's Nick Wright, host of First Things First on Fox
Speaker 2: Sports one, What's Right with Nick Wright on YouTube wherever
Speaker 2: you get your podcast. I'll move on from the Chiefs
Speaker 2: here for a moment. I mentioned Kevin Durant going to
Speaker 2: thirty thousand career points, and I think it's a slight
Speaker 2: to call him one of the greatest scores of all
Speaker 2: time because it really limits just your phone of what
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant really is. Dirk Noavitsky was a great scorer,
Speaker 2: Alan Iverson a great score, Alex English a great score.
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant is far more than that. He's a better
Speaker 2: basketball player than Steph Curry. But it feels like when
Speaker 2: you say he's the one of the great scorers of
Speaker 2: all time, I don't think we look at the totality.
Speaker 2: So I'm curious where you see Durant in his placement.
Speaker 4: I agree with a lot of what you said better
Speaker 4: basket is flatly called him a better basketball player than
Speaker 4: Steph Curry. I'd have to spend more time thinking about
Speaker 4: but I understand the point. But in my head, and
Speaker 4: this is the ultimate compliment insult, I kind of put
Speaker 4: him in the same category as Shack, which is one
Speaker 4: of the greatest players ever who did not reach their potential.
Speaker 4: So like, he's one of the fifteen to twenty greatest
Speaker 4: players of all time and that was probably a worst
Speaker 4: case scenario for him. And that's like the Kevin Durant lived,
Speaker 4: lived in the conference finals or NBA finals for his twenties,
Speaker 4: and in his thirties, he hasn't made it out a
Speaker 4: round two. He is, you know, he's this basketball nomad.
Speaker 4: His very ardent belief that it is not my job
Speaker 4: to be a leader has clearly hurt him. He has
Speaker 4: picked strange bedfellows. He the you know, there's just a
Speaker 4: lot of stuff where I had somebody that is incredibly
Speaker 4: close to a different all time great. Say if you
Speaker 4: had lined up every top twenty player ever blacktop style,
Speaker 4: you know, picking picking teams, and there was someone who'd
Speaker 4: never seen any of them play, and you described their
Speaker 4: attributes to the guy. It's like, hey, who do you
Speaker 4: want first overall? And you go to Jordan and it's like, well,
Speaker 4: he's about average height for the people here, he's you know,
Speaker 4: the second or third best athlete. There's about seven guys
Speaker 4: that can shoot better than him. There's a couple of
Speaker 4: guys who can dribble better than him. But he is
Speaker 4: a crazy competitor, like insane competitor. You'd be like, Okay,
Speaker 4: who else you got? Like, all right, and describe Lebron.
Speaker 4: He's the best athlete here. There's ten guys who can
Speaker 4: dribble better than him. There's two guys who can pass
Speaker 4: better than him, There's seven guys who can shoot better
Speaker 4: than him. You're like, Okay, who's the next guy. Who's
Speaker 4: the tall guy? It's like, oh, him, Well, he's the
Speaker 4: second best shooter here, he's the second tallest person here,
Speaker 4: he's the fourth best dribbler here. He's like, oh I
Speaker 4: want him, Like I actually, he's gonna be my first
Speaker 4: pick of every basketball player ever. And that's where I
Speaker 4: say he kind of didn't quite reach what he should have. Okay,
Speaker 4: is that fair?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: I get it. I get it.
Speaker 2: The nomad and I think if he had gone back
Speaker 2: to if he had gone to the Wizards and and
Speaker 2: and led them to the player, you know, like Lebron
Speaker 2: went back to Cleveland, and that's cement to his legacy.
Speaker 2: Before I let you go, who had the worst weekend?
Speaker 6: Me?
Speaker 3: Mahomes Me, Drake or you Me?
Speaker 4: No, You're good. No matter who was on the list,
Speaker 4: it was gonna be me, I know. Can I tell
Speaker 4: you a quick story?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 7: Okay?
Speaker 3: Is it a quick story?
Speaker 4: Probably not, but it's a great story.
Speaker 3: Okay. Can I take a break for your great story?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 3: Is it teas worthy? It is?
Speaker 4: You will love it?
Speaker 2: Okay, your group will love it. Okay, all right, we'll
Speaker 2: take a break. We'll come back with Nick Wright and
Speaker 2: his great story right after this.

Speaker 2: Nick Right on YouTube wherever you get your podcast had
Speaker 2: a rough weekend, had a weekend that was worse than
Speaker 2: Mahomes or Drake, which is saying a lot.
Speaker 4: So first of all, what is this a Ken Burns documentary?
Speaker 4: How long are your commercial breaks? My god, I said
Speaker 4: I'd sit through the break. I didn't know, I mean,
Speaker 4: my god. Well, so here's the benefit. There's not a
Speaker 4: lot of benefits of the fact that you're not a
Speaker 4: listener to the ever growing and very popular What's Right
Speaker 4: with Nick Right podcast host with my son Demn's. One
Speaker 4: of the benefits is you're gonna get to hear the
Speaker 4: story for the first time. Subscribers and listeners got to
Speaker 4: hear it yesterday. Let's subscribe on YouTube right Saturday night
Speaker 4: for the Super Bowl. I'm at one of the many
Speaker 4: Super Bowl parties. Of course, you've met my wife. She's
Speaker 4: with her best friend, both beautiful women. As often as
Speaker 4: the case, whenever we go to like some you know,
Speaker 4: nightclub type place, we haven't been in there five minutes.
Speaker 4: All of a sudden, some group of fellas have been like, hey,
Speaker 4: we have a section, you guys want to sit here.
Speaker 4: They're wearing heels, so They're like yeah. They My wife
Speaker 4: then says to me, do you want to sit I'm
Speaker 4: like no, I'm going to go ahead and not sit
Speaker 4: in these fellas section who invited you in because you're
Speaker 4: beautiful and they have no idea we're together. You guys
Speaker 4: go ahead, all have fun, circle around, you have sea
Speaker 4: fights on a giant scream. So I'm just standing kind
Speaker 4: of close to the section watching the USC fight, having
Speaker 4: a few cocktails. Some point after I stood there a while,
Speaker 4: a woman walks up to me says, can I ask
Speaker 4: you a question? Like, of course, why do you talk
Speaker 4: so bad about Jalen Hurts. I'm like, well, I don't
Speaker 4: know that it's I do, and you know, I do
Speaker 4: a little tap dancing. And she's like no, And she
Speaker 4: seems to have some very quotables. Some I said, some
Speaker 4: I didn't, And I'm like, okay, well, okay, so here
Speaker 4: are the good things I've said. Here are the critical
Speaker 4: things I've said. You know, I throw on some of
Speaker 4: that patented nick right charm, and I figure, we're you know,
Speaker 4: this is going We're gonna be out of here quickly,
Speaker 4: not not budging an inch. And then I realized something
Speaker 4: Dan probably would have realized earlier had I not been
Speaker 4: a couple of cocktails in and I said, ma'am, may
Speaker 4: ask you a question.
Speaker 3: She said yeah.
Speaker 4: I said, are you Jalen Hurts mother? She said yes,
Speaker 4: I am. I'm like, god, talg it. I'm like, this
Speaker 4: is And I said, well, I'm now in a terrible position.
Speaker 4: She said, what do you mean. I'm like, well, you're
Speaker 4: his mom. I'm supposed to right now be like, ma'am,
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry. Your son's amazing. You know, I'm playing
Speaker 4: a character on TV, like you know, it's my job
Speaker 4: because you're his mom. I was like, however, I don't
Speaker 4: know if you respect me to begin with, but if
Speaker 4: I do that, you certainly won't. It's like, so now
Speaker 4: I feel like I have to say to you why
Speaker 4: I believe the somewhat negative things I've said about your
Speaker 4: son is a thrower of the football. And she's like, yes,
Speaker 4: go ahead, and Dan when I tell you. I stood
Speaker 4: there for fifteen minutes having a conversation about like, listen,
Speaker 4: I thought he handled the benching at Alabama incredibly well,
Speaker 4: I think I think this. I was like, now, did
Speaker 4: I call him the weak link of the Eagles offense?
Speaker 4: I did? However, the context of that is I think
Speaker 4: they have a top two everything else. I think he's
Speaker 4: top two quarterback. And she really grilled me. And then
Speaker 4: I look to my sides and I'm like, I don't
Speaker 4: know if these are cousins, brothers, uncles or whatever, but
Speaker 4: I'm now kind of flanked by what appears to be
Speaker 4: the Hurt's family. So she says to me at the end,
Speaker 4: she was like, what are you gonna say? She didn't
Speaker 4: say it harshly, she said, what are you going to
Speaker 4: say when he wins? And because I'm me and I
Speaker 4: can't ever stop being me, I'm like, well, if he
Speaker 4: went She's like, no, when he wins, And I was like, well,
Speaker 4: I got to see the game first, but then we'll see.
Speaker 4: And you know, it was nice and I got I
Speaker 4: went outside sweating bullets and like, I don't know what
Speaker 4: just happened, but that's my that's my night before the
Speaker 4: Super Bowl story?
Speaker 2: Dan, why didn't you have Jalen Hurt's mom on your
Speaker 2: YouTube podcast?
Speaker 4: Invite Open?
Speaker 3: But that that's called good producing right there?
Speaker 4: Well, so here you know what, that opens the door
Speaker 4: to a second great story, and then I'll let you go.
Speaker 2: Is it going to be better than that story. No chance, Oh,
Speaker 2: because that wasn't a great story. What do you mean, Okay,
Speaker 2: let's go around the room, Todd. Was that a great story?
Speaker 2: I think it was a good story, right set.
Speaker 3: It's a good story, all right, Marvin, good story, Aunt, Paulie.
Speaker 10: I'm going very good the teas and then it being
Speaker 10: the mom and the way he ramped up to it,
Speaker 10: I'm well, very good.
Speaker 3: But not great.
Speaker 2: I was more concerned with your wife and her friend
Speaker 2: at a table, So I.
Speaker 4: Added that now that you've heard the story, totally irrelevant detail,
Speaker 4: just to make sure you were locked in, buddy.
Speaker 3: Because I knew.
Speaker 4: I knew that that was the Chekhov's gun of the story,
Speaker 4: except it was never used. Yeah, I need a better producer.
Speaker 4: I don't need. That's unfair. I love my producers, but
Speaker 4: not everybody can have a Fritzy Fritzy who texts me
Speaker 4: mid super Bowl knowing what pain I'm in, then posts
Speaker 4: super Bowl and then when I defer and I'm like, hey,
Speaker 4: I can't, he then is like, oh, that's interesting because
Speaker 4: I see another show as promoting an upcoming appearance you're having,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, well, that other show is the TV
Speaker 4: show on the network that pays me. So yes, as
Speaker 4: much as I love Dan, I do to do that.
Speaker 4: And it all come on, Fritzie's a bulldog man. All
Speaker 4: that is very true, am I lying?
Speaker 2: He's done that before to people who have lost, had
Speaker 2: emotional losses, but before the game is over, when you
Speaker 2: think you're going to win, and he'll say, hey, when
Speaker 2: you win, we want to have you on, and then
Speaker 2: they lose in dramatic fashion. So Fritzi, it's not just you, Nick,
Speaker 2: but you're right. I tell him to go get people,
Speaker 2: and he goes and gets people.
Speaker 4: Well, I know, I kind of finally saw all the
Speaker 4: sausage made I always was. It was always amazing to
Speaker 4: me before we even knew each other. I'm like, man,
Speaker 4: I know people really like and respect Dane Patrick. But
Speaker 4: he gets all of the guests you'd want the day
Speaker 4: you want him. And it turns out it's because you
Speaker 4: employ a psychopath.
Speaker 3: Yes, that is true. That is true. That that is fair.
Speaker 3: That is fair. So the other story that is that?
Speaker 4: Was it?
Speaker 7: The story?
Speaker 4: Oh that was a great story that one has alike.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we but that's a story we've heard many
Speaker 2: many times from different people here.
Speaker 3: Certain you had something to say to Nick. Oh well, yeah,
Speaker 3: I was gonna say about Nick's story.
Speaker 11: It was a solid move, including the bit about your
Speaker 11: wife and the table, because not only did you reinforce
Speaker 11: that your wife is beautiful, but also you just proved
Speaker 11: that you're supremely confident. Like now, babe, go ahead, you
Speaker 11: go sit, I'm good, don't worry about it. I'm gonna
Speaker 11: go walk around. You go have fun. I'll see you later.
Speaker 11: Don't worry about it. That's a solid flex.
Speaker 4: Oh well thanks, I didn't even think about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: that too.
Speaker 3: How about that?
Speaker 4: They got solid enough flex?
Speaker 11: Had fun, your gorgeous go enjoy yourself. Don't worry about it. See,
Speaker 11: at the end of the.
Speaker 3: Day, he ever walked into a room, been in a
Speaker 3: room with Nick.
Speaker 2: When he walks in, I mean he's not suffering from insecurity.
Speaker 2: Just saying maybe he should. But I'm just saying when
Speaker 2: he walks in, walks in like Ric Flair. Yeah, it's like, wow,
Speaker 2: that's a that's a bright red.
Speaker 4: Bring up the coat. Yeah, you were going to bring
Speaker 4: up the coat. And did you.
Speaker 3: Did you get your coat from that restaurant yet?
Speaker 4: The gun club you took you No, I didn't.
Speaker 3: I never coat.
Speaker 2: It is still okay, all right, I'll get it and
Speaker 2: I'll okay, I'll take it.
Speaker 3: To my car.
Speaker 4: Gone. That's gone. That was a year and a half ago.
Speaker 2: There's nobody it's going to take that coat. Nick, Oh,
Speaker 2: nobody could wear that coat.
Speaker 4: I wasn't. That's not the orange coat. The orange coat
Speaker 4: I would have gotten. That was because you mocked the
Speaker 4: orange coat so badly. I wore a much more conservative dude.
Speaker 4: I think it's called camel coat, and I left it.
Speaker 4: I'll see you.
Speaker 3: How much money did you lose on Sunday.
Speaker 4: It's less about how much I lost and more about
Speaker 4: what I would have won. I uh, because they weren't.
Speaker 4: I didn't. I actually didn't have to bet the game
Speaker 4: directly because it is complex. I'm in a gambling consortium
Speaker 4: where we trade futures like stocks, So I had I
Speaker 4: had basically a downside risk of less than ten thousand
Speaker 4: dollars if the Chiefs lost, and an upside of just
Speaker 4: north of seventy if they won, and a lot of
Speaker 4: people then would have just bet thirty on the Eagles
Speaker 4: and lock in a big profit. But there's a name
Speaker 4: for those people. They're called cowards, and so I just.
Speaker 3: Let it ride.
Speaker 2: Keep your head up, keep your head up, as I
Speaker 2: told you Sunday night, keep your head up.
Speaker 4: Talk to you later.
Speaker 3: Two peak, shut it, let's make shirts up.
Speaker 2: That's Nick Right, host of First Things First on Fox
Speaker 2: Sports one. What's right with Nick Wright?
Speaker 3: I did? I text him?
Speaker 2: I don't know what this score was, and I said, hey,
Speaker 2: keep your head up two peat. Yeah, Fritzy doesn't have
Speaker 2: any that's sensitivity gene. It's not there when it comes
Speaker 2: to getting a guest. I mean, you're very sensitive, a compassionate,
Speaker 2: warm person, but not when it comes to getting a.
Speaker 3: Sorry about your team. How about ten twenty tomorrow for Zoom. Yeah.
Speaker 11: See, as referenced by Todd's text to uh picture day Ray,
Speaker 11: when the Lions are getting knocked out of the players,
Speaker 11: say hey, sorry about the bummer of a season. Way
Speaker 11: to end this way anyway? Have that one sheet for
Speaker 11: me ready?
Speaker 6: Thanks?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I know the game. I don't know if it
Speaker 3: was over. I don't.
Speaker 2: And Ray is a producer here, and Fritzy's like, hey,
Speaker 2: sorry about your lines, Hey, but I need that information
Speaker 2: for tomorrow's show.
Speaker 3: A little bit exactly. That's no, you did not I don't.
Speaker 12: Think it was Copolle as cold as it's the show
Speaker 12: must go on. I've seen the Broncos get destroyed in
Speaker 12: a lot of Super Bowls in that but.
Speaker 2: Nobody is reaching out to you. They're not saying, hey, Todd,
Speaker 2: sorry about your Broncos. Can you come on tomorrow at
Speaker 2: ten twenty.
Speaker 3: That has not really happened.
Speaker 2: No, it hasn't, So it's a little bit different. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I have the odds to win. Let me let me
Speaker 2: see what I have here. I got something here from
Speaker 2: Draft games. Oh, odds to win the NBA Championship. It's
Speaker 2: the Thunder, followed closely by the Celtics, and then it's
Speaker 2: a big jump to third on the list.
Speaker 3: The Calves.
Speaker 2: Now after that, fourth best odds to win the NBA
Speaker 2: Championship this year, Marvin, fourth best odds. Don't say the Lakers, Well, no,
Speaker 2: you're the one that would have to say the Lakers.
Speaker 13: Oh, the Nuggets.
Speaker 3: The Nuggets.
Speaker 2: No, they are fifth on the list at plus fifteen hundred.
Speaker 2: Lakers are probably up there, though they are not in
Speaker 2: the top five.
Speaker 3: The Knicks. Is that because they're sick?
Speaker 2: The Knicks, I don't know. I only got the top five,
Speaker 2: but the Thunder and Celtics. Then it's the Calves, followed
Speaker 2: by the Knicks and then the Nuggets. Although I think
Speaker 2: if the Lakers had had gotten that trade had gone
Speaker 2: through and Mark Williams would have been healthy, then I
Speaker 2: would really like, there are you know, chances of going
Speaker 2: far in the playoffs.
Speaker 3: I mean, Mark Williams, he moves lines. That's one thing
Speaker 3: we know.
Speaker 2: But at least it gives them they they're they're talking
Speaker 2: about Dwight Howard.
Speaker 9: Stephen A.
Speaker 2: Smith said, well, maybe they should bring in Dwight Howard.
Speaker 2: Dwight Howard's my age, like he.
Speaker 3: Last played in Taiwan. He's aging at three times the
Speaker 3: rate a normal person. Yes, and I'm going, wait a minute,
Speaker 3: Dwight Howard.
Speaker 2: That'd be like saying, you know what, we need a receiver,
Speaker 2: let's go get tarall Owens like no. And then I
Speaker 2: think DeMarcus Cousins, is he playing in Mongolia? I think so,
Speaker 2: I didn't know you could play in Mongolia one of
Speaker 2: the lows. I guess you could bring back Boogie Cousins
Speaker 2: from Mongolia.
Speaker 10: I can't there are there any people playing now they
Speaker 10: could get.
Speaker 2: I keep hearing that they are, you know, trying they
Speaker 2: throw out these names and you're like, is he still alive?
Speaker 2: Is he he's still playing? But all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: I'm like and Brian Windhorse reaction when Steve and A
Speaker 2: goes what about Dwight Howe and Wendy's has his head down,
Speaker 2: like I cannot believe that we're talking about this because
Speaker 2: first of all, those analysts get tired of talking about
Speaker 2: the same thing over and over. Hey, let's talk about
Speaker 2: the Lakers. But there's some other teams that are pretty good. No,
Speaker 2: we got to talk about the Lakers. And then Wendy's like, okay,
Speaker 2: we'll talk about the Lakers. Wait, you want to bring
Speaker 2: back Dwight Howard M. I don't think so, bring back
Speaker 2: Shack yes, Paulieu to.
Speaker 10: Bring back the topic of the Lions and Fritzy's terseness,
Speaker 10: I have the text chain to picture de Ray, the
Speaker 10: Lions fan last year as the Lions are going down
Speaker 10: in flames and losing in the second half and are
Speaker 10: about to be eliminated. Quote Lewis Riddick ten twenty zoom
Speaker 10: tomorrow cool for a one sheet off the games. Sorry,
Speaker 10: Bud amazing season though.
Speaker 3: Quote Sorry, Bud amazing season though.
Speaker 14: Yeah, But I left that out, I'd be looks it.
Speaker 3: Would have been bad.
Speaker 10: Ray's response was very tough. Todd thoughtfully said, thought they
Speaker 10: had it with the first half.
Speaker 3: You play four quarters, you do thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Ray does a one sheet so when we have a guest,
Speaker 2: he'll put information on there. Anything they have to plug.
Speaker 2: And you know, Fritzie's blown right by the stop sign.
Speaker 2: He went right through the stop sign with poor little Ray.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean he's a Lions fan, so he's used to
Speaker 2: heartache and this is the probably the most devastating thing
Speaker 2: that's happened in his life.
Speaker 3: That's not this year. This is the year before that.
Speaker 3: Like magical. You're like, oh my god. The Lions, this
Speaker 3: is unbelievable.
Speaker 2: They're up on the by twenty four, but the Niners
Speaker 2: at halftime, and.
Speaker 12: That's why they should play the super Bowl on Friday
Speaker 12: or Saturday, and there's no show the next day.
Speaker 3: They don't have to worry about that.
Speaker 12: You've got a few days to clean yourself up, and
Speaker 12: you don't got to get a message for me about
Speaker 12: something needed the next morning.
Speaker 2: Or by the way, got in the most words I
Speaker 2: think ever in that one breath. That was pretty impressed,
Speaker 2: pretty Yeah, pretty impressive. Uh, maybe a little sensitivity, that's all.
Speaker 2: Maybe do we need sensitivity training on this is Well,
Speaker 2: it's too late for that.
Speaker 3: Minimal kindness, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Minimal conness, that is true. Jeff in Oregon, Hi, Jeff,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 7: I just got a T shirt idea for you, taken
Speaker 7: off from Kritty's praise. Damn three piece you can go.
Speaker 7: Damn not a repeat.
Speaker 2: Damn not a threepeat. Yeah, I just don't want pat
Speaker 2: Riley coming after me.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: Boogie Cousins is playing in the Mongolian League with the
Speaker 2: Selenge Bardens basketball team.
Speaker 3: Legit. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: The Mongolian Basketball League is also known as the League
Speaker 2: the Association.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the league. Damn. I wonder if I
Speaker 3: could play in the Mongolian League.
Speaker 10: I can make some calls.
Speaker 3: I mean, I didn't even think about going overseas.
Speaker 12: You could score on Cousins at this point.
Speaker 3: I could think you, oh, I.
Speaker 2: Could score on Cousins. But it's the guys who were
Speaker 2: guarding me, you know that are my size that have
Speaker 2: a problem with that.
Speaker 3: Yes, Marvin Man, what happened?
Speaker 13: That dude was a monster.
Speaker 2: He had He had like four or five years in
Speaker 2: a row for eight years. They were like twenty five
Speaker 2: and twelve.
Speaker 11: There was like a Pelicans team that he was a
Speaker 11: part of that it was like, man, I think they're
Speaker 11: really going to put something together. And then people got hurt.
Speaker 11: But there was a moment there where it's like, man,
Speaker 11: this dude is getting close.
Speaker 2: And I think he was on the verge of getting
Speaker 2: a big pay day and then he got hurt.
Speaker 10: Yes, Paul, he had a bunch of twenty five and twelve. Yeah,
Speaker 10: and better he had a season. I got him twenty
Speaker 10: eight points per game, twelve rebounds, five assists, two steals,
Speaker 10: a block and a half. We reran those stats a
Speaker 10: few years ago and there's like four dudes who had
Speaker 10: done that. Yeah, but it was sack Town, so it
Speaker 10: was like pro rated.
Speaker 13: Yes, Marvin another player that didn't win a national championship
Speaker 13: with John Calipari. Him and John Wall were on the
Speaker 13: same team and Eric bledsoe. Yeah, and he lost to
Speaker 13: West Virginia.
Speaker 3: Is that Pittsnoggle thing?
Speaker 13: Was Deshaun Butler, Oh, Deshaun Butler, Joe Missoula on.
Speaker 3: That j What was my nickname for him?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: The uh dang Pittsnoggle?
Speaker 14: No, no, No, the the guy who was a great leaper.
Speaker 14: Oh Joe Alexander, Oh Joe Alexander Vanella Sky. That dude,
Speaker 14: he went like eighth in the draft straight to Europe.
Speaker 2: I know, I know, God, it's one of those where
Speaker 2: you go, damn, he can jump out of the building,
Speaker 2: that dude was the problem is you had to stay
Speaker 2: in the building and do something.
Speaker 10: Yes, Paul, Yeah, Joe Alexander, first pick, eighth overall of
Speaker 10: the Bucks in the two thousand and eight draft, played
Speaker 10: two years disrespect.
Speaker 2: The average five was a rookie, all right? Last call
Speaker 2: for phone calls? What we learned, What's in store tomorrow,
Speaker 2: this day in sports history.
Speaker 1: After this, be sure to catch the live edition of
Speaker 1: The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six
Speaker 1: am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAPP.
Speaker 2: Last call for phone calls each seven to seven three
Speaker 2: DP Show operator Tyler's sitting by thanks to Nick Right,
Speaker 2: Cooper de Jean, and Vincent Goodwill. Big Parade on Friday
Speaker 2: in Philadelphia. Spring training pitchers and catchers report, I used
Speaker 2: to love to go to spring training, and we kind
Speaker 2: of I don't know, I don't know if we did
Speaker 2: a lot of work when we went to spring training.
Speaker 2: But I had convinced the Mothership that we were going
Speaker 2: to take the radio show out to Scottsdale.
Speaker 3: And it was great. It was fun.
Speaker 2: Now we had to get up early, but still you
Speaker 2: got to go all these ballparks and you had a
Speaker 2: lot of fun. And it's a great environment. If you
Speaker 2: love spring training and you want to go, Scottsdale's the place.
Speaker 2: Go there and you can go to all you know,
Speaker 2: probably six or seven different teams, and the stadiums are
Speaker 2: an hour or less and it's a great atmosphere, a
Speaker 2: lot of fun. Now I've done Florida, but it's not
Speaker 2: centrally located with Scottsdale. You go in restaurants, people are great,
Speaker 2: weather's great, and you can see a lot of baseball.
Speaker 2: John in Atlanta, John, thanks for holding what's on your
Speaker 2: mind today?
Speaker 6: Hey guys, I just earlier you guys said hit the
Speaker 6: five percent was and you guys picked Dallas, which is
Speaker 6: kind of crazy because the Falcons beat the Eagles. They
Speaker 6: could have beat Kansas City but lost to the very
Speaker 6: end by five. They beat Tampa Bay twice and they
Speaker 6: beat Dallas.
Speaker 2: Well, no, John, John, I'm saying, what the audience would
Speaker 2: vote for We're guessing that because the Cowboy fans they
Speaker 2: come out in mass so maybe there's a few more
Speaker 2: Cowboy fans than Falcon fans. So I was having fun
Speaker 2: with that because you have to work the Cowboys into
Speaker 2: pretty much every story you have. It feels like in
Speaker 2: today's sports world. So that was why it's not Falcons
Speaker 2: a better team. They've proven that the last couple of years.
Speaker 6: Gotcha, But my Falcons are young? What do y'all think
Speaker 6: about it?
Speaker 2: I've well, if you listen to the show, you know
Speaker 2: that I've thought the last two years they were going
Speaker 2: to be a surprise team. It feels like Kurt d
Speaker 2: Cousin's going to end up on the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 3: Or the Raiders.
Speaker 2: Feels like he hasn't played his last bit of football,
Speaker 2: but he's played his last bit of football in Atlanta.
Speaker 3: No, I like the Falcons.
Speaker 2: It's just the Falcons don't like me because they don't
Speaker 2: live up to these lofty expectations that I put on them.
Speaker 2: I thought they were going to be really good this year.
Speaker 2: I picked two surprise teams in the NFC. I picked
Speaker 2: the Falcons and I picked the Commanders. Well, the Falcons.
Speaker 2: Let me down Chase in Oregon. I Chase, what's on
Speaker 2: your mind today?
Speaker 5: Hey, good morning, Dan, Thank you for taking my call. Sure,
Speaker 5: I had a question for you regarding the Taylor Swifts
Speaker 5: over under being shown during the Super Bowl, and I
Speaker 5: was wondering if you thought, or if you knew by chance,
Speaker 5: if any of the Fox directors, producers, cameramen had anything
Speaker 5: to do with deciding how long that would be and
Speaker 5: or how many times should it be shown, and if
Speaker 5: they're able to place bets those prop bets that said,
Speaker 5: if Taylor Swift was going to be shown more or
Speaker 5: less than five times.
Speaker 2: Well, the prompt bets aren't high. In bets, there's only
Speaker 2: you know, maybe one hundred bucks you can bet on that.
Speaker 2: I don't think if I'm a Fox producer director, I
Speaker 2: want to kind of hinge my job, risk my job
Speaker 2: on over under for Taylor Swift. Do I think it's discussed, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I do. But I think what they did is, let's
Speaker 2: take it in the context of the game. It's don't
Speaker 2: go out of our way to showcase Taylor Swift. If
Speaker 2: I mean they had one hundred and twenty seven million people,
Speaker 2: you're not getting more people by showing Taylor Swift. But
Speaker 2: if you're going to show her after Travis Kelcey does
Speaker 2: something or he doesn't do something, or let's say they're
Speaker 2: down thirty four to nothing and you want to show her,
Speaker 2: or they score a touchdown, you want to show her. Okay,
Speaker 2: But I mean, I give them credit that they didn't
Speaker 2: go out.
Speaker 3: Of their way to show her.
Speaker 2: But do I think that it was orchestrated that we're
Speaker 2: not going to show her. No. I think they probably
Speaker 2: were taking it in the context of what was happening
Speaker 2: in the game, and I'm fine with that.
Speaker 3: This day in sports history, Pauline is one of my favorites.
Speaker 10: Nineteen eighty two, Wayne Gretzky tied the NHL record for
Speaker 10: points in a season when he got point number one
Speaker 10: fifty three. He went on that season to score two
Speaker 10: hundred and twelve points. He blew the record up. He
Speaker 10: had ninety two goals and one hundred and twenty assists.
Speaker 10: He was twenty one years old.
Speaker 2: And that's why we talk about Grade eight Alex Ovenchkin.
Speaker 2: But he can be the all time greatest score, but
Speaker 2: he'll still be like a thousand points behind Gretzky because
Speaker 2: you put it and his assist with his goals, that's
Speaker 2: what's mind boggling. Greatest score of all time and the
Speaker 2: greatest passer of all time. Like the numbers are. You
Speaker 2: look at him and you go, that can't be right.
Speaker 2: But he did put up those numb two hundred and
Speaker 2: twelve points.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Paul Gretzky led the NHL and assists at age nineteen.
Speaker 10: In age thirty seven, come.
Speaker 2: On and trust me, if you meet Wayne Gretzky, if
Speaker 2: you didn't know who he was, and he says, hey,
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm a Hall of Famer And you
Speaker 2: go in what sport?
Speaker 3: Golf? Uh?
Speaker 2: I don't cricket, I don't know hockey? Uh yeah, sure, yes, Todd,
Speaker 2: he's so.
Speaker 12: Soft spoken, unassuming. He's like your friend that you're working with,
Speaker 12: Like at the next cubicle over head, I'm gonna go
Speaker 12: get some coffee. Can you bring you back something.
Speaker 2: But Montana is the same way. When you meet Joe.
Speaker 2: Joe's not an imposing guy and he's so soft spoken.
Speaker 2: But those guys when they got on the ice, got
Speaker 2: on the football field, that's when they turned up a notch.
Speaker 2: Like Troy Polamalo, Like you meet him and he's like,
Speaker 2: how are you good?
Speaker 3: Good? Damn you hit people really hard. Yeah, yeah, that's
Speaker 3: my job. Yeah do that.
Speaker 2: It's like damn, but you got to be able to
Speaker 2: turn it down. Some guys can't do that. That's the
Speaker 2: problem with him.
Speaker 3: On this day.
Speaker 2: In two thousand and five, Alan Iverson scored sixty points
Speaker 2: that was a career high in a win against the Magic.
Speaker 2: Bill Russell had forty one rebounds in a game nineteen
Speaker 2: fifty eight. Didn't Wilts had fifty five rebounds? Is that
Speaker 2: the most rebounds ever in the game?
Speaker 3: Fifty five?
Speaker 2: I think might have been against Bill Russell. By the way, Um,
Speaker 2: that's it. I think we've done everything that we can
Speaker 2: possibly do on this program. Yeah, great show, Dan, thank
Speaker 2: you early. Thank you Seeden. Very nice for you to
Speaker 2: compliment me.
Speaker 10: Yes, Pauli Wilts had fifty five rebounds in a game
Speaker 10: against the Celtics November twenty fourth, nineteen.
Speaker 2: Fifty five against Bill Russell. Yeah, setan good show.
Speaker 3: Hey, thank you. I appreciate that. Uh, Todd, would you
Speaker 3: learn today?
Speaker 12: Speaking of fifty five pistol, Pete Rabbits would have averaged
Speaker 12: fifty five points a game in his final year at LSU.
Speaker 4: If they had a three point line back.
Speaker 3: Then Setan nick Wright not lacking in confidence. No no, Marvin.
Speaker 13: Nick Wright said, Fritzy is a bulldog.
Speaker 10: Paul, that's the earliest good show on record.
Speaker 3: Todd nick Wright was I oppressed by jail and hurts
Speaker 3: mom at a party. Who wants to know why he
Speaker 3: talks so negatively about herself?
Speaker 2: Slipper's Heart is a new and unique style of whiskey
Speaker 2: that combines the best of Irish and American whiskey, creating
Speaker 2: the smooth character of Irish whiskey and the bold flavors
Speaker 2: of American whiskeys.
Speaker 3: If you're a whiskey fan, you gotta try it. Drink responsibly.
Speaker 3: Thanks for the phone.
Speaker 2: Calls, emails, tweets, the all around support of this program.
Speaker 2: We appreciate that.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Todd. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
