Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Our two on this Thursday, Dan and the Dan Nets
Speaker 2: Dan Patrick Show. Something going on in the NFL right
Speaker 2: in front of us. I don't know if it's getting
Speaker 2: enough attention. Of course, you have the schedule release coming
Speaker 2: up tonight, but I'll talk about this trend that's been
Speaker 2: happening and it feels like, begrudgingly it's happening. Stat of
Speaker 2: the Day brought to you by Panini America, the official
Speaker 2: trading courts at the Dan Patrick Show. Gang's all here,
Speaker 2: Todd Dylan in the back row, Marv Pauley upfront, yours
Speaker 2: truly in the back room. Guys as well. Given away
Speaker 2: the rectech grill tomorrow. Go to rectech dot com search
Speaker 2: the Dan Patrick Show for details, and on meet Friday
Speaker 2: we will give away a rectech grill. All right eight
Speaker 2: seven to seven three DP. Show operator Tyler sitting by.
Speaker 2: He'll take your phone calls. We discussed, among other things,
Speaker 2: in the first hour. I would move on from Aaron
Speaker 2: Rodgers if I'm the Steelers, I would move on from
Speaker 2: Lebron James if I'm the If I'm thinking about this
Speaker 2: taking the fandom out of this just looking at this
Speaker 2: and saying, let's apply common sense to this.
Speaker 3: Can we.
Speaker 2: Maybe take a hit one year and that will help
Speaker 2: us get to a point where maybe we solve our
Speaker 2: quarterbacking situation for a decade. I mean, that's what my
Speaker 2: goal would be, because you've got to find your next
Speaker 2: Ben Roethlisberger at some point. With the Lakers, with Lebron
Speaker 2: still playing at a high level, you're a playoff team,
Speaker 2: but you're kind of like the Steelers. You're a playoff team,
Speaker 2: but you're not threatening. Do you bring Lebron back? Can
Speaker 2: you spend the money differently? You got to resign Austin Reeves.
Speaker 2: I would move on from Lebron. James, Now what I
Speaker 2: want to capitalize? I guess with Lebron in a farewell tour,
Speaker 2: I guess you're already must see TV. But I'd rather win,
Speaker 2: Like that's what you want. It's nice to give people
Speaker 2: statues who's outside the building? I want banners in the
Speaker 2: building because if you get banners in the building, you
Speaker 2: can get a statue outside the building. And Lebron played well,
Speaker 2: that makes the decision a little bit tougher, a lot tougher.
Speaker 2: But at some point you have to say, let's just
Speaker 2: move on. You know, maybe lebron goes to Cleveland. Cleveland
Speaker 2: wins last night dramatic fashion against Detroit, controversy at the
Speaker 2: end of regulation, and now Cleveland's got a chance to
Speaker 2: close out Detroit, and they'll be favored by three and
Speaker 2: a half on Friday night. The Spurs in Minnesota favored
Speaker 2: by four and a half on Friday night. Because you
Speaker 2: have the scheduling launch party coming up. I mentioned Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: Now Thanksgiving Eve, you got Thanksgiving Eve, it'll be the
Speaker 2: Packers and the Rams. Thanksgiving you get Bears, Lions, Eagles, Cowboys, Chiefs,
Speaker 2: and the Bills. And then there's Black Friday the Broncos
Speaker 2: and the Steelers as well. I mentioned the trend that's
Speaker 2: happening because it wasn't long ago that I thought, will
Speaker 2: a team almost be counterintuitive to how defenses are being built.
Speaker 2: Used to be, your defenses were big guys. You had
Speaker 2: your middle linebacker, you know, big upfront. Now you go
Speaker 2: to leaner, quicker off the edge guys. Your linebackers aren't
Speaker 2: really linebackers, they're edge rushers. And I said, somebody's going
Speaker 2: to decide to invest in a running game, And it
Speaker 2: was Derrick Henry because I thought you're not going to
Speaker 2: stop Derrick Henry. Now it doesn't matter how big your
Speaker 2: line is, But are we going to utilize that running
Speaker 2: back and bring them back into the forefront of you
Speaker 2: got to have a great running back? Now, has it
Speaker 2: changed what we expect? Yes, I want at least one
Speaker 2: thousand yards. I want at least five hundred yards in receptions.
Speaker 2: The Miami Dolphins extended Devon ah Chan four year sixty
Speaker 2: four million dollars, and if you look at it, Ravens, Lions, Seahawks, Bills, Eagles, Packers,
Speaker 2: Niners all invested in running backs. Jamir Gibbs is going
Speaker 2: to get paid, Jean Robinson is going to get paid
Speaker 2: as well. But running back was the one position that
Speaker 2: was devalued. Now they're becoming valued eight. Chan will make
Speaker 2: on average sixteen million dollars over his four year deal.
Speaker 2: Now you've got wide receivers making more. Calvin Ridley, Jerry Judy,
Speaker 2: Michael Pittman, Junior One, Dale Robinson, Romeo Dobbs, Rashid Shaheed
Speaker 2: Jaden Reed.
Speaker 3: Who would you rather have out of that group?
Speaker 2: If I throw in h Chan and the answer is
Speaker 2: a Chan because he is a really good running back
Speaker 2: and a really good receiver. I look at Saquon Barkley
Speaker 2: got paid, He makes twenty million, Christian McCaffrey nineteen million,
Speaker 2: Derreck Henry fifteen million, Kenneth Walker the third fourteen million,
Speaker 2: Breeze Hall got paid fourteen million, Jonathan Taylor fourteen million.
Speaker 2: The running back is making a comeback, and I think
Speaker 2: it's great for football because I know that they're replaceable,
Speaker 2: interchangeable parts. And we can find a running back in
Speaker 2: the fourth round, and we have found running backs in
Speaker 2: the fourth round.
Speaker 3: But if I'm looking at.
Speaker 2: Guys Saquon Barkley, Christian McCaffrey, Dereck Henry, Jonathan Taylor, Jamiir Gibbs,
Speaker 2: by Jean Robinson, these are all high draft picks. And
Speaker 2: even when Jamir Gibbs was being drafted. And I've said
Speaker 2: on the show that one of my sources, who's an
Speaker 2: NFL scout, said he's a Marshall Fulk type running back.
Speaker 2: He is a Hall of Fame type running back. And
Speaker 2: he said, you know, people didn't realize when he was
Speaker 2: at Georgia Tech and then all of a sudden, you know,
Speaker 2: you're at Alabama, and then all of a sudden, people go,
Speaker 2: oh man, that guy's really good. He said he is
Speaker 2: a Marshall Fulk type running back, and he went earlier
Speaker 2: than people thought. And I thought, this guy, that's why
Speaker 2: I had such high expectations and admiration for Jeremiah Love.
Speaker 2: Now going to Arizona doesn't really help him, but maybe
Speaker 2: he's going to sell tickets. Jadarian Price, who's the backup
Speaker 2: to him, went to Seattle at the end of the
Speaker 2: first round. So running backs now it feels like you
Speaker 2: have to have one that may do two things. If
Speaker 2: you can get that guy, who's all I want to
Speaker 2: do is put you in space. The NFL is all
Speaker 2: about matchups. Can I put that guy in space against
Speaker 2: that guy and I can win that battle? That's all
Speaker 2: you want to do, my tight end against your linebacker,
Speaker 2: defensive back. I like that matchup. That's all you're trying
Speaker 2: to do as a quarterback. Where is the weak spot?
Speaker 2: Where can I take advantage of that and have your
Speaker 2: guy who's not as good as my guy, and then
Speaker 2: maybe I can get a big play. And I think
Speaker 2: you're seeing that with these NFL teams, And I know
Speaker 2: you know, people thought, well, you can't take Jeremiah Love
Speaker 2: as high as Arizona did. I wouldn't have taken him
Speaker 2: that high because I'm not ready to win. Now, if
Speaker 2: I'm Tennessee or I'm the Commanders, I would have jumped
Speaker 2: all over Jeremiah Love because he's the one guy. He
Speaker 2: can hit home runs. Every time he's on the field.
Speaker 2: He can hit a home run. How many guys are
Speaker 2: like that. Jamir Gibbs can hit a home run. VI
Speaker 2: Jon Robinson hit a home run. Those guys are difference makers.
Speaker 2: And I would spend the money. Now, do I want
Speaker 2: a second contract? That's where we can have a discussion,
Speaker 2: because if I'm going to use you and get touches,
Speaker 2: where three hundred carries and sixty five receptions, that starts.
Speaker 3: To add up on a running back.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Dylan, Yeah, I think that's also such a luxury
Speaker 4: to have a pass catching back. Like you look at
Speaker 4: the Christian mccaffreyes, even for a long time, the Alvin
Speaker 4: Kamaras of the world. It's like that is a legitimate weapon.
Speaker 4: And h Chan is that he catches a.
Speaker 2: Lot of passes and he's a really good running back,
Speaker 2: but you don't know it because you would tune in
Speaker 2: to Watch two a tongue of Iiloa and their wide receivers.
Speaker 2: They're quirky head coach at the time, and you would
Speaker 2: kind of go, man, that guy's good. Eight chan is good,
Speaker 2: but they're not going anywhere this year. And you get
Speaker 2: Malik Willis there. I don't want if I'm a Dolphin fan,
Speaker 2: I don't want to get to six wins. I want
Speaker 2: to ensure that we get four wins and maybe we
Speaker 2: get arch Manning. Unless it goes really really well, which
Speaker 2: I don't think it will. Then all right, you brought it,
Speaker 2: and I like Malik Willis. I was high on Malik Willis.
Speaker 2: You don't have Tyreek Hill, you know, so your philosophy
Speaker 2: is different.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Deil, Yeah, the Dolphins kind of had something there
Speaker 4: because they had a chan and most are in the
Speaker 4: backfield and Wattle and Tyreek Hill. It's like you had
Speaker 4: some legit weapons there. And I just think that the
Speaker 4: to a situation and maybe McDaniel it just they couldn't
Speaker 4: just figure it all out.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: They were close and then all of a sudden, you know,
Speaker 2: you dismantle with Wattle, Tyreek Hill head coach, you know, Tua.
Speaker 2: So at least they're trying. It feels like, but I
Speaker 2: like a chan, I just don't know. That's kind of
Speaker 2: your offense, and that is a lot of money for
Speaker 2: a team that I want to add the running back.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like get get your team, and then
Speaker 2: get your quarterback. Kind of get your team, get your
Speaker 2: running back as well, because I don't want to just
Speaker 2: have a situation like Ashton genty with the Raiders where
Speaker 2: I don't know how good he is based off what
Speaker 2: we saw last year. I saw him in college.
Speaker 5: Yes, Mark, going back twenty years, speaking of the Steelers,
Speaker 5: it was kind of like the Steelers when they got
Speaker 5: Ben Roethlisberger, they already had the team constructed, all they
Speaker 5: needed was a quarterback.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Bill Coward talked about that when he joined
Speaker 2: us in Pittsburgh. He was like, build the team, then
Speaker 2: get the quarterback there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Paul, going back to that running back stat, I
Speaker 6: went back and looked thousand yards rushers per season in
Speaker 6: twenty seventeen, nine, eighteen nine, in twenty nineteen or eleven,
Speaker 6: twenty twenty nine, twenty twenty one seven. The past three
Speaker 6: years it's been twelve thousand yard rushers sixteen and this
Speaker 6: year seventeen thousand yard rushers in the NFL. That's the
Speaker 6: most since twenty ten.
Speaker 4: Yes, Dylan, it's also what the Dolphins like. They don't
Speaker 4: really have. I could see why you'd pay Ahn too.
Speaker 4: It's like they're not paying anyone right now. Like Malik
Speaker 4: Willis is getting what twenty three million is something like
Speaker 4: that a year. Their three starting receivers are Malik Washington,
Speaker 4: Jalen Tolbert and two two at Well. When two two
Speaker 4: out Well is your number one receiver, you need a
Speaker 4: spark wherever you can get.
Speaker 3: I guess, I guess.
Speaker 2: I don't know if Dolphin fans are going to go,
Speaker 2: come on, let's grab the kids. We're gonna go see
Speaker 2: eight chen And it's not like you're watching Barry Sanders,
Speaker 2: no really good player, but they're getting paid now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mark, we're.
Speaker 5: Talking about all these dual threat running backs. Is Marshall
Speaker 5: fawk underrated?
Speaker 2: I remember Peyton Manning telling me he is the smartest
Speaker 2: football player he was ever around, And that says an
Speaker 2: awful lot, because unless Peyton was taking himself out of
Speaker 2: the equation, he just talked about Marshall Falk knew where
Speaker 2: every he knew everybody's assignment. But I remember first time
Speaker 2: I saw him in college and I was like, how
Speaker 2: did this guy end up here? He's from New Orleans.
Speaker 2: Did in LSU offer him a lot of money or
Speaker 2: somebody there.
Speaker 6: Yes, Paulie Marshall Fawk was a five time All Pro.
Speaker 6: He never had a fifteen hundred yard rushing season. He'd
Speaker 6: always run for thirteen hundred yards but then have eighty
Speaker 6: five catches. He was one of those. I think he
Speaker 6: had five two thousand plus yard all perpose season.
Speaker 3: He was such a dual threat there.
Speaker 2: And I remember, you know when we were down in
Speaker 2: New Orleans for that Super Bowl when the Patriots they
Speaker 2: took Marshall Falk out of the game. I mean they
Speaker 2: basically said, he's not beating us in this game, and
Speaker 2: they did. They shut him down. That defense ended up
Speaker 2: winning that Super Bowl. Oh boy, I have a college
Speaker 2: football schedule for one week that almost seems like it's
Speaker 2: not real. I got to check this during the commercial break.
Speaker 2: This schedule for this week that I have is unbelievable,
Speaker 2: Like wow, I got to check and make.
Speaker 3: Sure that this is official here. I don't want any
Speaker 3: fake news here.
Speaker 2: Stat of the Day brought to you by Pandi mayor
Speaker 2: get the official trading cards. So The Dan Patrick Show,
Speaker 2: let's take a break. We'll come back with that. Also,
Speaker 2: I'm watching Jalen Duran lose millions and millions and millions
Speaker 2: of dollars right before our very eyes. We'll talk about
Speaker 2: that coming up as well. We're back after this Dan
Speaker 2: Patrick's Show.
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 app.
Speaker 7: Hey, this is Jason McIntyre. Join me every weekday morning
Speaker 7: on my podcast, Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. This isn't
Speaker 7: your typical sports pod pushing the same tired narratives down
Speaker 7: your throat every day. Straight Fire gives you honest opinions
Speaker 7: on all the biggest sports headlines, accurate stats to help
Speaker 7: you win big at the sportsbook, and all the best guests.
Speaker 7: Do yourself a favor and listen to Straight Fire with
Speaker 7: Jason McIntyre on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever
Speaker 7: you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2: I have to admit, when I watched the Detroit Pistons
Speaker 2: play basketball, I am curious about Jalen Durhan because the
Speaker 2: slump that he's going through right now in the playoffs
Speaker 2: will cost him millions this summer. Now, he's probably going
Speaker 2: to be an All NBA selection, which means he'd be
Speaker 2: eligible to sign a five year max contract beginning at
Speaker 2: thirty percent of the salary cap. So based on the
Speaker 2: current projections, his max deal could start as high as
Speaker 2: forty nine and a half million dollars in be worth
Speaker 2: two hundred and eighty seven million dollars in total. If
Speaker 2: he doesn't make All NBA team, he is limited to
Speaker 2: a max deal starting at twenty five percent, so his
Speaker 2: salary could go as high as forty one point two
Speaker 2: five million dollars. If I'm Detroit, what I'm seeing here
Speaker 2: would be very concerning. Now he's gone up against a
Speaker 2: pretty good front line. Mobiley and Jared Allen are good defenders.
Speaker 2: He was a twenty ten guy during the regular season.
Speaker 2: Now he's half of that. I also look at somebody
Speaker 2: who's twenty two years of age. He was a pleasant
Speaker 2: surprise for Detroit an All Star.
Speaker 3: But you look at these players.
Speaker 2: And the amount of money that you're going to be
Speaker 2: making at a really, really young age, and if you're
Speaker 2: the Pistons, do you want to go all in on this.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Smart.
Speaker 5: The scoring really would have concerned me because he gets
Speaker 5: a lot of those awful lobs and easy buckets from
Speaker 5: Kate Cunningham. The five rebounds would really concern me because
Speaker 5: to me, he's almost like in the Ben Wallace mode
Speaker 5: of if you score, that's great, but I really need
Speaker 5: you to rebound at least double digits.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of money, but they're all getting paid
Speaker 2: a lot of money. I think sometimes you go, God,
Speaker 2: they're going to pay him that. Well, there's only what
Speaker 2: thirteen or fourteen guys on the team and they are
Speaker 2: making you know, the TV partners are spending a lot
Speaker 2: of money and that money has to go somewhere, and
Speaker 2: these players are going to get I mean, fifty million
Speaker 2: is nothing now.
Speaker 3: In the NBA, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 5: In the playoffs that's where you get paid. Tristan Thompson
Speaker 5: got a sixty four million dollar deal because he had
Speaker 5: a great playoff run. Biz mac Biambo got seventy two
Speaker 5: million dollars after playing well for the Raptors in the playoffs.
Speaker 5: That's when you get that's when you get your money.
Speaker 2: Well, nice reference, bizmock biyambo I didn't think we were
Speaker 2: gonna get.
Speaker 3: A mentioned with him today, but we got it. Who's
Speaker 3: next Bull Bull?
Speaker 5: He hasn't produced in the playoffs yet, so he's out.
Speaker 3: I remember they were saying, oh, Bull Bull, he's better
Speaker 3: than his dad. I'm like, at what.
Speaker 2: Like minute? Bowl ended up being a three point shooter
Speaker 2: at seven seven and he blocked a few shots as well.
Speaker 2: There's also you know, when I think of Bull Bowl,
Speaker 2: I think of gout gout because this a kid in
Speaker 2: Australia who who might turn out to be the fastest
Speaker 2: man in the world at some point.
Speaker 3: You know, there's already comparisons to Bolt.
Speaker 2: You seeing Bolt, so you're looking at him and they
Speaker 2: sixty minutes did a piece on him that gout gout
Speaker 2: is probably going to be approaching Bolt's records here. Yeah, Pauline,
Speaker 2: I read a little background on him the other day.
Speaker 2: He's eighteen years old, his family left Sudan, they're in
Speaker 2: Australia and the name is more like Watt, but it
Speaker 2: just changed over the years and it was easier for
Speaker 2: people to say gout and they just stuck with it.
Speaker 4: Yes, Billy, it's kind of an unfortunate gout gout. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I know, double gout. Yeah, maybe they weren't aware of
Speaker 4: somebody getting gout. I'm guessing he does not have any
Speaker 4: issues with gout if he's that fast.
Speaker 3: I hope no. Yes, yes, Todd, that's two strikes your gout.
Speaker 3: I see what you did. Sometimes silence is better.
Speaker 5: It's the valid point.
Speaker 2: Week ten of the college football season. This is like
Speaker 2: bowl week. I got Miami and Notre Dame, Alabama, LSU, BYU, Utah.
Speaker 2: I got Penn State, Washington, Oregon, Ohio State, Georgia, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Florida.
Speaker 2: I got Virginia Tech, SMU, Texas and Missouri.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: That's good stuff. I hope the regular season, though, isn't
Speaker 2: ruined by all these playoff teams there. Man, there's some
Speaker 2: real bickering going on between these conferences.
Speaker 3: ESPN's involved in this.
Speaker 2: You know we're gonna stay at sixteen? Can we stay
Speaker 2: at sixteen? Do we have to go to twenty four?
Speaker 3: Sec?
Speaker 2: Seems to be a holdout on this. I think the
Speaker 2: Mothership would like to have sixteen. You have acc big twelve,
Speaker 2: big ten. I want to go to twenty four. A
Speaker 2: little bit of bickering going on here, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 5: But don't you think you're going to see more big
Speaker 5: time regular season matchups because teams aren't afraid to lose
Speaker 5: three games anymore.
Speaker 3: I just don't.
Speaker 2: I don't buy into that because I want to have
Speaker 2: a good seed. I want to make sure that the
Speaker 2: most I'm losing is two games if I if I
Speaker 2: lose three or four, then I'm going to be on
Speaker 2: the road in the playoffs. And I think the regular
Speaker 2: season is still important. Yes, more teams will make the playoffs,
Speaker 2: but where you're seeded, do you get to host a game?
Speaker 3: Do you get to host two games?
Speaker 2: You know, when we get to twenty four, you're going
Speaker 2: to be asking your fan base to travel a little
Speaker 2: bit more, and I think that's really difficult. If you
Speaker 2: have it a home game at Ohio State or Notre Dame,
Speaker 2: it's going to be packed no matter what. But when
Speaker 2: you go to a neutral site, that's where you want
Speaker 2: to see. Will your fan based travel because you got
Speaker 2: to have these Bowl games, you got to have a
Speaker 2: pack towels here, Yes, Pauling.
Speaker 6: I think going forward you may see a combination of
Speaker 6: those neutral site games like Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Lambeau specialty
Speaker 6: games where you boost money and ratings. But then the next.
Speaker 5: Week you'll play the Cupcake.
Speaker 6: So you have a neutral site in Atlanta at the
Speaker 6: Ben Center, but then next week you're playing Wafford.
Speaker 4: Yes, Dylan, we got a couple international games in week zero.
Speaker 4: You guys know who's playing in Ireland this year? No,
Speaker 4: Bill Belichick and the Tar Heels and TCUKA and NC
Speaker 4: State and Virginia are playing in Rio de Janeiro. Okay,
Speaker 4: I know how they came up with that one, but yeah, it's.
Speaker 3: Always where you go.
Speaker 2: Is there any connection here with anybody with Rio de Janeiro,
Speaker 2: Virginia or NC State?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I get the NFL can do it college football. It's
Speaker 2: a little trickier, yes, Morvin.
Speaker 5: I don't think the people at NC State love Ta
Speaker 5: McClendon like that. I respect the reference. Welly McClinton running
Speaker 5: back from the issue.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, all right, give him back to you.
Speaker 2: Bloop Matt in New York Him, Matt, what's on your
Speaker 2: mind today?
Speaker 3: Hey?
Speaker 8: Dan?
Speaker 3: How are you nice to talk to you? Thank you?
Speaker 8: Uh six one two twenty three. Unfortunately, Todd, I'm doing
Speaker 8: my best. I just wanted to call in chat when
Speaker 8: you were talking about your son and what they did
Speaker 8: to the guy's hat. I find it completely uncalled for.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 8: I get it, I love sports, I love sports. I
Speaker 8: love to play all the sports, and I get fandom.
Speaker 8: But when they when people act like mob mentality with
Speaker 8: this stuff and they get in the fights over clothes, now,
Speaker 8: I'm just gonna, you know, take a page from Jerry Seinfeld.
Speaker 8: All you're doing is rooting for clothes.
Speaker 10: If you like the player, like I e.
Speaker 8: Lebron, you got three jerseys hanging up. You're rooting for
Speaker 8: any team that he's on because you like the guy
Speaker 8: or the girl or whoever. But I just find it's
Speaker 8: unfortunate that people group up and do stuff to people
Speaker 8: just because they're wearing the wrong clothes. It sounds like
Speaker 8: gang activity to me. But you know, so where were living,
Speaker 8: I guess, but rise above.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And I even tell him, you know, he's a Packer fan,
Speaker 2: my son, and I say, he said, Hey, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go to Philadelphia. Should I wear my jersey? And I go, no,
Speaker 2: why not? You asked me the question. The answer is no,
Speaker 2: can't wear it to a Jets game. There's certain places
Speaker 2: where you're just not wearing your colors. I wish it
Speaker 2: was you know, more conducive to fans coming in being
Speaker 2: able to enjoy a game. There's certain places where I
Speaker 2: would say no, absolutely not.
Speaker 5: Yeah, more, wearing your jersey to an Eagles game is
Speaker 5: way different than wearing it to your son's school, and
Speaker 5: that should never be the case.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, Okay, I I.
Speaker 2: No, I don't want to say too much because it's
Speaker 2: it's a long time ago that it happened, and I
Speaker 2: was disappointed that it happened.
Speaker 3: But I had to let my son know.
Speaker 2: If you're going to root in that rivalry, you're gonna
Speaker 2: have stupid people, and that happened. It's unfortunate. I had to.
Speaker 2: I was aware of who I am in a situation
Speaker 2: like that. So that enough said with that. But yeah,
Speaker 2: it was tough, very tough when your son comes home
Speaker 2: and he says what they did to his Red Sox hat.
Speaker 3: Aaron and fort Wayne, Hi Aeron, what's on your mind?
Speaker 11: Yes, Aaron, Dan, Yes, Aaron, Yeah, yeah, let me I'm
Speaker 11: gonna turn the bower off here.
Speaker 10: You know, you know, h Dana Belicena for a long time.
Speaker 10: But you know, we need to go back to the
Speaker 10: nineties when people used to retire in like a dignified way.
Speaker 10: You know, we had.
Speaker 11: Seinfeld and we had Michael Jordan and we got damn Patrick.
Speaker 11: You know you're gonna, you know, walk away in two
Speaker 11: years as long as you don't try to tone it
Speaker 11: O'Brien Fritzy when he turns it into the Fritzy Hour,
Speaker 11: you know, or something like that.
Speaker 10: But I like that. I don't know what's going on
Speaker 10: with culture where it's like people just.
Speaker 11: Will not go away, you know, and I can't miss
Speaker 11: you if you're still here, you know what I mean,
Speaker 11: And that's a big part of it.
Speaker 3: Thank you. Eric.
Speaker 2: I never want to push somebody into retirement if you
Speaker 2: want to play, because once you do that, then it's
Speaker 2: done and there's a finality to that. I've seen way
Speaker 2: too many been around, way too many guys who retired
Speaker 2: who talk about, maybe I should have played one more year.
Speaker 2: Most don't want to retire because it's really scary. Once
Speaker 2: you retire and you're thirty eight, now what not? Everybody
Speaker 2: can be an analyst, Now what do you do? And
Speaker 2: I think there's that wow, the rest of my life,
Speaker 2: Now what am I going to do? Because I've done
Speaker 2: this for such a long period of time, I get it.
Speaker 2: I don't want Lebron to retire. I don't like seeing
Speaker 2: guys who are playing like Travis Kelcey. Did I hope
Speaker 2: he was going to retire, Yes, but in his mind
Speaker 2: he still wants to play, and he has every right
Speaker 2: to do that if Kansas City wants him great. I
Speaker 2: want great players to continue to be great until they
Speaker 2: know I can't be what I want to be out there,
Speaker 2: yes doing I think it was.
Speaker 4: Dave mcmahumhan said that when he was on the other
Speaker 4: week that athletes die to deaths and the first ones
Speaker 4: when they retire, because it's you're, by all standards, a
Speaker 4: young person still and you're just like, what what do now?
Speaker 3: What do now.
Speaker 10: Do?
Speaker 3: Now? What do now doing now? John and Florida? Good morning, John.
Speaker 10: Coome on to Dan.
Speaker 12: I'm taking a bit of a left turn, I guess here.
Speaker 12: But on Mother's Day I turned seventy years old. Can
Speaker 12: you imagine being that old?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 12: No, So I didn't call to give you advice. I've
Speaker 12: called to give you my experience. I have a daughter, Molly,
Speaker 12: and in November we had a wedding on Cake Carr
Speaker 12: and I told my wife I got my speech ready
Speaker 12: and I'm going to read it to you, and I
Speaker 12: get through one sentence standing started bothering like a baby.
Speaker 12: I had to go in the other room and continued
Speaker 12: on and got through maybe three or four sentences and
Speaker 12: couldn't stop crying. So I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 12: You know when you get older and you get very emotional.
Speaker 12: So finally the thing that worked for me, Dan, And
Speaker 12: again this is just my experience, not advice. I spent
Speaker 12: most of the morning while my wife and daughters and everybody,
Speaker 12: all the young ladies were getting ready in my room
Speaker 12: going over that speech over and over and over again,
Speaker 12: and it helped me a lot.
Speaker 3: So there you go.
Speaker 12: That was how I did it.
Speaker 2: Well, Thank you John. Every single day I think of it,
Speaker 2: and I'm going to see my daughter tomorrow and I'll
Speaker 2: be thinking about it every single time I see her.
Speaker 2: It's consumed me, and I'm thinking maybe beta blockers like something.
Speaker 3: The speech.
Speaker 2: I can get emotional, that's okay, because it's my turn.
Speaker 2: I don't want to get emotional walking down the eye
Speaker 2: because that's her moment and that's the one I'm trying
Speaker 2: to go. How can I do it? Somebody said, rubber band,
Speaker 2: have a rubber band? And keep smacking, you know, pulling
Speaker 2: the rubber band and smacking it against your skin. I
Speaker 2: was like, can I get botox so I won't don't cry?
Speaker 3: Can I?
Speaker 2: Can I get into a position where I can't cry?
Speaker 2: Do they do boatox in tear ducks?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 6: Do you think a drink or two will help or hurt?
Speaker 3: I'd say hurt, yeah, yeah, yes.
Speaker 4: Is it gonna be an outdoor ceremony or indoor outdoor? Sunglasses?
Speaker 3: There you go? Yeah, but my wife will be like, no, no, no.
Speaker 4: I think you just got to do it. I mean,
Speaker 4: sunglasses have saved me many a time.
Speaker 2: For sunglasses would be I just don't want to come
Speaker 2: off as pretentious that you got sunglasses on.
Speaker 3: Well, you don't have to.
Speaker 4: You can borrow a Parami versace sunglasses there, and they're
Speaker 4: very understated.
Speaker 3: I'm sure.
Speaker 9: Yes, it's not about being pretentious. I just think that
Speaker 9: would kind of ruin. All the photos are gonna be taken.
Speaker 9: You can't be in your sunglasses. You gotta have your
Speaker 9: regular face in your eyes.
Speaker 4: It's an outdoor wedding, most of the people are probably
Speaker 4: gonna have sunglasses, and I think that's an easy.
Speaker 2: But my daughter's not gonna have sunglasses on, get her repair.
Speaker 2: My wife is not gonna have sunglasses on, and you're
Speaker 2: gonna be able to hear me cry. You may not
Speaker 2: see tears because I got sunglasses on. If you just
Speaker 2: said I cried and I didn't, you know, have loud,
Speaker 2: then I'd be okay with that.
Speaker 3: It's every single day, yes, marma, But.
Speaker 5: What about you do one of those really cool when
Speaker 5: you're interviewing somebody and they get emotional. Excuse me, just
Speaker 5: keep it like that. But are you just gonna be
Speaker 5: it's gonna be like that?
Speaker 3: It might be, it might be, And this is all
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 2: I'm being sincere when I tell you this, like it's
Speaker 2: every single day I think of this, and then people
Speaker 2: are expecting me to cry? Now is it comes up
Speaker 2: in conversation like I can't wait for your speech.
Speaker 3: Like why, oh man, you're going to be a mess. Yes,
Speaker 3: I will be a mess. Yes pulling.
Speaker 6: According to Medical News Today, which is a shaky website,
Speaker 6: there's certain ways to prevent yourself from crying intense or
Speaker 6: uncontrollable situations. Slow down your breathing, blink your eyes to
Speaker 6: work out the tears to keep them from going down
Speaker 6: the cheeks tense up right before you start talking. This
Speaker 6: is actually a tool that actors use right before they
Speaker 6: go on stage, or they tense up everything, and then
Speaker 6: by relaxing right before you start talking, it's the uh.
Speaker 6: It's like a placebo effect that makes you think you're relaxed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got no shot here.
Speaker 5: We're trying.
Speaker 3: No, I appreciate it. I'm in all sincerity, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 5: Will you feel better if you make everybody else in
Speaker 5: the audience emotional during your speech?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 5: Like crying is like yawning. It's contagious.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm hopeful that there'll be some sympathetic years
Speaker 2: for me, and all the dads who've been in my
Speaker 2: position will be able to relate, so that might help.
Speaker 2: And then you know, the ladies will love to see
Speaker 2: me cry, you know, Yes, Dylan, just think about baseball.
Speaker 4: Why that works for other stuff? I think, just you know,
Speaker 4: take your mind off of what's going on. Yeah, but
Speaker 4: then I'll be thinking about having a catch with my dad.
Speaker 4: My dad's not there.
Speaker 3: I'm in professional baseball. Yes.
Speaker 6: Paulie Bridal Magazine. Dan tips for getting through the speech,
Speaker 6: writing it down. While you may think that people will
Speaker 6: be Oh, you have to write it down. You can't
Speaker 6: do it off the cuff. By focusing on the words,
Speaker 6: you'll replace some of the emotions.
Speaker 2: I know, but my wife says, you know you are
Speaker 2: a professional broadcaster.
Speaker 3: People are going to think that you should be just
Speaker 3: delivering a speech without.
Speaker 6: Bring a couple emmys with you. Put them right next
Speaker 6: to you. That'll prove the point.
Speaker 2: Maybe if I sit on the top of the emmy,
Speaker 2: then it's going to be painful and then I'll be
Speaker 2: able to get through the speech.
Speaker 3: Yes, todd as so.
Speaker 9: Is that one person, maybe that angry cousin or uncle.
Speaker 9: There's Dan crying. Come on, put it together, dude. I
Speaker 9: don't always selling in the crowd that you think everyone's.
Speaker 3: All on your side.
Speaker 5: Dan's crying me a break.
Speaker 3: No, that sounds like it would be you, and that
Speaker 3: you're not invited to the wedding.
Speaker 5: Get it together, man, I'm going to.
Speaker 2: Need somebody to yell out kind of something funny to
Speaker 2: break the tension in the room.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Baba booie, Yes, Dylan.
Speaker 4: I actually I don't think there's any harm in writing
Speaker 4: it out. I actually think it shows that you took
Speaker 4: your time with it. You know, you cared, I definitely
Speaker 4: would go hand or like printed out copy or a
Speaker 4: scroll scroll would look cool. Well you know the new
Speaker 4: thing though, is off your phone. Yeah, I know, but
Speaker 4: it always looks weird reading off your the phone.
Speaker 2: And then I don't want to have to put my
Speaker 2: code back in like hold hold on, okay.
Speaker 3: As I was saying, well.
Speaker 4: You're gonna be scrolling a lot too, because I've seen
Speaker 4: the font size on your phone.
Speaker 3: You get about four letters per screen.
Speaker 5: Yes, Marvin, Yeah, I'm with Dylan because maybe after the
Speaker 5: speech you oh man, I wish I would have mentioned this,
Speaker 5: and you won't have that issue if you really have
Speaker 5: it thought out, thought out, really have it thought out,
Speaker 5: you write it down, okay, and a scroll? Yeah, scroll?
Speaker 2: Well all right, I'll take it under advisemen every single day.
Speaker 2: Can we get O's the mentalist and see if he
Speaker 2: could hypnotize me, like.
Speaker 6: Pre hypnotize you before the events?
Speaker 3: Yes, we'll make some calls.
Speaker 2: I'm wondering if he could hypnotize me right before what Todd.
Speaker 9: What if something goes wrong and someone makes a certain
Speaker 9: noise we snapped the sping and you start clucking or
Speaker 9: barking at all?
Speaker 5: How those things can be.
Speaker 3: You're now a frog?
Speaker 9: Is Dan bouncing around and hopping after like a frog?
Speaker 3: How about we take a break here. We'll be back
Speaker 3: after this.

Speaker 2: Live show Hey O Tani through seven starts this season,
Speaker 2: forty four innings, fifty strikeouts, eer zero point eight two
Speaker 2: and the opposition batting one sixty one against him. And
Speaker 2: that's a second in Baseball Saturday Day, brought to you
Speaker 2: by Panini America, the official trading cards of the program.
Speaker 2: He's really focused on winning a Cy Young and Dave
Speaker 2: Roberts said that to us. I said, how important is
Speaker 2: this Cy Young? And he said extremely to show Hey
Speaker 2: when we talked to him a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2: The problem is the hitting got seven home runs and
Speaker 2: he's adding what under two forty I think right now.
Speaker 2: Pitching wise, he's great, Era leads baseball, his whip, his
Speaker 2: third batting average, opponents second impressive numbers. There was show
Speaker 2: Hey O Tonic, but he's got to deal with Paul Skeens.
Speaker 2: So that's the difference. Here pitching wise against schemes for
Speaker 2: cy Young MVP. That's where is there somebody who's going
Speaker 2: to be able to match up with him? And the
Speaker 2: answer is no, He's got such an unfair advantage, Yeah, Marvin.
Speaker 5: And the only thing that would prevent him from winning
Speaker 5: the cy Young and MVP is if Paul Skeins leads
Speaker 5: the Pirates to a wild card, if they have like
Speaker 5: a great record because of him and he goes twenty
Speaker 5: two to four, anything like that, there might be some
Speaker 5: pushback for MVP award, But other than that, no context.
Speaker 3: Jay in Delaware, Hi, Jay, what's on your mind?
Speaker 8: Herry Dan?
Speaker 13: First of all, I want to say that I agree
Speaker 13: with you that I think they should move on from Aaron.
Speaker 13: But I also think that US as stands and the
Speaker 13: media have too much of an expect expectation to have
Speaker 13: to get, you know, an explanation or transparency from the organization,
Speaker 13: because from what I've heard is that you know, McCarthy
Speaker 13: and Rogers, they talk every week, Omar Khan and Rooney,
Speaker 13: and none of them have come out and said that
Speaker 13: they're waiting on the organization isn't waiting on. I think
Speaker 13: they know what's going to happen with Aaron. And I've
Speaker 13: also heard McCarthy on multiple occasions say that he from
Speaker 13: the tape that he's washed and being around him, he's
Speaker 13: really loved Will Howard. So even if Aaron doesn't come back,
Speaker 13: I think they're comfortable with Will Howard for the year.
Speaker 13: And even if he has already signed, he wouldn't be there.
Speaker 13: I mean, how how many years has has Aaron not
Speaker 13: shown up for you know, voluntary workedouts?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 3: I know, but you're it's only one more year. My
Speaker 3: point is, then what do you do?
Speaker 2: Thanks, Aaron Rodgers is going to be there this year,
Speaker 2: and you'll probably have a first round exit and maybe
Speaker 2: you win ten games. Okay, but you've been going through
Speaker 2: this for a decade now and that's where it has
Speaker 2: to change. Unless you're fine with ten and seven in
Speaker 2: first round playoff exit. And I wouldn't be some tweets
Speaker 2: about wedding advice with my speech. Think of a funny
Speaker 2: scene in a movie, a good distraction to lighten the mood.
Speaker 2: How about you write something down. You can give it
Speaker 2: to your daughter to put in her wedding scrapbook. Nobody's
Speaker 2: listening to the speech anyway, They're just waiting for it
Speaker 2: to be over so they can grab a beer. Oh no,
Speaker 2: this will be a big one, trust me. How about
Speaker 2: a shock collar and if you start to cry, then
Speaker 2: maybe somebody could shock you. Here's another one to help
Speaker 2: with the crying. How about a shock collar? How about hypnosis.
Speaker 2: Somebody's suggested that I get somebody who can do sign
Speaker 2: language and have them right next.
Speaker 5: To me at press conferences.
Speaker 2: Yes, that, and I don't know if anybody is going
Speaker 2: to be deaf there, but to have a person doing
Speaker 2: sign language is pretty funny, yes, doing Hey, you can
Speaker 2: have your own interpreter.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just don't let him in your bank account.
Speaker 2: But I was also wow, okay, all back, all right,
Speaker 2: a little shot, a little show, hey, shot there. I'm
Speaker 2: also considering maybe bringing my oldest daughter up with me
Speaker 2: to interpret what I can't get through, because she's very funny,
Speaker 2: very quick, and she might add levity to it. When
Speaker 2: I start to stumble, then she fills in, you know,
Speaker 2: she taps me and comes in like a tag team partner.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Paul, I like that move a lot, because your
Speaker 6: daughter could be there ready to go and fill in
Speaker 6: the blank.
Speaker 3: If it goes sideways, yes, well, no, when it goes,
Speaker 3: but then you're covered. Yes.
Speaker 2: Uh, James in Florida, Good morning, James. What's on your
Speaker 2: mind today?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 13: Good morning Dan.
Speaker 10: Hey, thanks for taking my call. Hey, I just want
Speaker 10: to say about this marriage day or yeah, crying thing.
Speaker 13: Uh you know I married all four daughters, didn't cry
Speaker 13: at all.
Speaker 5: I just want to say, man, you.
Speaker 10: Got to suck it up.
Speaker 3: You know it's her day.
Speaker 10: It's her day. Now you're talking about bringing your own
Speaker 10: daughter up there. I think it's a big show. You
Speaker 10: got to quit talking about this. You're seventy years old.
Speaker 3: Don't cry.
Speaker 5: I'm a physician.
Speaker 10: Your best bet would be de beta blocker if you
Speaker 10: have to do.
Speaker 2: It, all right, James, stop yelling, all right, show off.
Speaker 2: Maybe you don't care about your daughters as much as
Speaker 2: I care about my daughter. That's why I'm crying so much.
Speaker 2: Nothing worse than jumping in your car or somebody else's
Speaker 2: and it just smells bad, Like Dylan's. McGuire's luxury collection
Speaker 2: Whole Car Air Refreshers, perfect way to fight funky odors
Speaker 2: and redefine and your drive. Maguire's celebrating one hundred and
Speaker 2: twenty five years of keeping cars clean, shiny, and smelling
Speaker 2: grat I would pay twenty five thousand dollars to not cry.
Speaker 2: And I know it's my daughter's wedding, James. That doesn't
Speaker 2: mean I can't, you know, get through it without crying.
Speaker 9: Yes, Todd, I think crying is perfectly fine, and you're
Speaker 9: overthinking it. And I think there's something showing genuine emotion.
Speaker 9: I think is appreciated.
Speaker 5: If it gets to the.
Speaker 9: Point where you can't speak at all, that's a whole
Speaker 9: other story. Well, but a couple of sniffles here and
Speaker 9: there are showing some emotion. It's your daughter getting married.
Speaker 3: I know, thank you, Ton.
Speaker 4: Yes, still, I was about to tell that guy who
Speaker 4: called him to cool it, but then he said my
Speaker 4: car stinks, and now I'm on his side.
Speaker 5: I do.
Speaker 4: I kind of like the daughter as a human shield thing,
Speaker 4: you know. Embiide did it in the interview the Yeah,
Speaker 4: I know he caught grief.
Speaker 3: Yes, Tod.
Speaker 9: We'll just put suck it up in bold letters above
Speaker 9: your speech before you start reading, as a reminder, be tough.
Speaker 3: Stan Van Gundhy's gonna join us.
Speaker 2: What did he think of the way the Pistons Cavaliers
Speaker 2: regulation game ended. I'm going into the confessional. By the way,
Speaker 2: if you're watching on peacock Back after this
