Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Final hour in this Monday best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 2: What you liked you didn't like? Operators sitting by Tyler
Speaker 2: take your phone calls eight seven to seven three DP
Speaker 2: show Fritzi's here, Dylan front row with Pauli and Marvin
Speaker 2: yours truly and of course the backroom guys, we say
Speaker 2: good morning. If you're watching the program on Peacock, thank
Speaker 2: you for downloading the app and our stat of the
Speaker 2: day brought to you by, as always Benini America. The
Speaker 2: official trading cards of the program, The WNBA on NBC
Speaker 2: and Peacock Sunday Page, Beckers and the Wings take on
Speaker 2: Olivia Miles and the links the WNBA Live on NBC
Speaker 2: and Peacock pull question for the final hour of the program, Dylan.
Speaker 3: Which major sport has the most parody? MLB, NBA, NHL
Speaker 3: or NFL.
Speaker 2: Well, let me start with the NBA. You've had eight
Speaker 2: different winners the last eight years. Do you consider that parody?
Speaker 2: You know, we make a big deal about a repeat
Speaker 2: champ in the NFL. That hasn't happened very often in
Speaker 2: the last thirty years. I don't view baseball as parody
Speaker 2: top heavy. But I would say that the NBA having
Speaker 2: eight different winners the last eight years, that's pretty impressive, Yes, Dylan,
Speaker 2: but that's kind of viewed as.
Speaker 3: An anomaly in the NBA, right because the NBA is
Speaker 3: probably the most dynastic over the course of its history.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but not recently. You have you have really good teams,
Speaker 2: you know, Golden State's been a good team. Lebron's bounced around,
Speaker 2: Durance bounced around. Yeah, So it feels it feels a
Speaker 2: little bit more fluid. I don't know if that's an anomaly.
Speaker 2: If you do it eight consecutive years, that's not an aberration.
Speaker 2: I mean that feels like a trend. So I mean
Speaker 2: how many how many leagues have had a different a
Speaker 2: different team winning in eight consecutive years.
Speaker 4: Yes, PAULI, it does feel though with the NBA they
Speaker 4: have tidle parody. But those teams in the bottom ten,
Speaker 4: they stay in the bottom ten for a while, Like
Speaker 4: the Wizards aren't gonna spike up and go on a
Speaker 4: run next year. It doesn't feel for the Nets are
Speaker 4: not going to spike up. It feels like a bad
Speaker 4: team last year in the NFL could could reach the
Speaker 4: playoffs the next year just with a couple moves.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But see, I feel like in basketball, there's only five
Speaker 2: guys out there, it's easier to do something quicker. I
Speaker 2: think the Wizards are going to be competitive next season. Okay,
Speaker 2: I do, I do I Okay. This isn't one of
Speaker 2: those where I was on a team the year before,
Speaker 2: two years before. I think the Wizards will be competitive.
Speaker 2: How's that? Yes, Marvin, like.
Speaker 6: Playing competitive, like you know what. They're struggling, but you
Speaker 6: know what they're trying to make the play in.
Speaker 2: Okay, yes, yes, play in competitive.
Speaker 4: Yes, your Wizard's had seventeen wins this year.
Speaker 2: I thought, yeah, and so did the Pistons a couple
Speaker 2: of years ago.
Speaker 4: Okay, we're setting you're over under at twenty nine and
Speaker 4: a half for this Wizard squad.
Speaker 2: I'm going over oh got see Yeah, AJ Deband said,
Speaker 2: don't let me down. T Davis. Here we go. I'm
Speaker 2: I'm printing playing tournament T shirt. You know, sometimes you
Speaker 2: just get that feeling, Marvin. They're just times when I go, man,
Speaker 2: I think I think the Sacramento Kings are ready for
Speaker 2: the playoffs. They made the playoffs.
Speaker 6: No, we're on year eight of Man, you really want
Speaker 6: them to put it all together. But then they trade,
Speaker 6: they trade Halliburton, and then they get rid of this
Speaker 6: guy and that guy. They fire Mike Brown. He ends
Speaker 6: up coaching the next they win a championship.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, okay, yes, Dylan.
Speaker 3: If the Wizards win the NBA Cup this season, is
Speaker 3: that a success?
Speaker 7: Hell?
Speaker 2: Yes, all right, hell yes, they're the Wizards yelling team.
Speaker 2: Worse is the Washington Generals and they try to be bad.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 2: Let me get a couple of phone Do we have
Speaker 2: a new pole question or is that the old pole question?
Speaker 2: I'm trying to keep track, Dylan.
Speaker 3: That's a new one. We also, I mean throw another one.
Speaker 2: Up if you want. Yeah, sure, it's your day, all right?
Speaker 2: Uh do you still watch? I did have I did
Speaker 2: have a father come up to me at a restaurant
Speaker 2: and he said, hey, longtime fan, I have a problem
Speaker 2: with Dylan. I go, okay, get in line, he goes,
Speaker 2: He all almost ruined Christmas for my son. We were
Speaker 2: in the car and I said, I will pass the
Speaker 2: message on to Dylan, and he said, maybe publicly shaming
Speaker 2: him would work. Todd almost did this a couple of
Speaker 2: years ago. We love Santa and I can't wait to
Speaker 2: get gifts from him this year. Dylan, Yeah, I said.
Speaker 3: At the time, I was like, of course, I'm a
Speaker 3: big Sanda guy, and Christmas is my favorite holiday. Tod
Speaker 3: and I've actually talked about it. Christmas is better than Honka.
Speaker 7: Christmas is far cool.
Speaker 2: Okay, But once again, I just I had a very
Speaker 2: nice gentleman and he said that you almost ruined Christmas
Speaker 2: because sometimes parents are driving their kids to school and
Speaker 2: they could have the radio on. And I love the
Speaker 2: Easter Bunny and I very fairy Godmother. I like her.
Speaker 4: Yes, Paul, just your kids in the car. Remember Santa's
Speaker 4: always watching eat your vegetables?
Speaker 2: Yes he is. Who's naughty or nice? Yes, Todd.
Speaker 9: You do have to admire how he was able to
Speaker 9: deliver gifts to the entire world overnight.
Speaker 7: That is awesome. I wish I can get to work
Speaker 7: that fast from where I live.
Speaker 10: He's Amazon Prime before Amazon Todd.
Speaker 2: Yes, I don't need Todd involved in this conversation, correct,
Speaker 2: Just Dylan. Dylan, you know, pays for his sins. I'm
Speaker 2: not having you involved in it. Giving me any kind
Speaker 2: of logical or non logical uh No, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: don't even.
Speaker 7: I highly recommend the Perry Como Christmas Album.
Speaker 2: Has nothing to do with Santa Okay, alrighty, yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: sure that'll go over well. Now, Perry Como.
Speaker 7: Perry Como Christmas Album number one.
Speaker 2: That might have been sixty years ago.
Speaker 9: It's fantastic. He's got the amazing voice and that puts
Speaker 9: you in the Christmas mood more than ever.
Speaker 2: Okay, you're the oldest fifty whatever that I've ever met.
Speaker 7: I used to listen to that all the time.
Speaker 9: Forget about hang me the Honk of Candle, whatever songs
Speaker 9: they try to come up with to make a honak
Speaker 9: a cool, Give me the chocolate money, and that's about
Speaker 9: it for honka and a potato pancake with some apple sauce.
Speaker 7: It's all about the Perry Coomb.
Speaker 2: Dylan in Orlando. Hi, Dylan, when do you have for
Speaker 2: me today?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 8: I might be young, but I'm still listening to the
Speaker 8: Being Cosby Christmas album. Anyways, I'll have a quick Dodger rant.
Speaker 8: I have three points to make, and I'll try to
Speaker 8: make him pretty quick.
Speaker 11: Number one.
Speaker 8: The Dodgers didn't really offer the best farm system to
Speaker 8: the Tigers, but the Tiger's don't have to accept that
Speaker 8: any team could have made that offer. Number Two, you
Speaker 8: mentioned earlier that the Dodgers have to pay a large
Speaker 8: luxury tax, a larger than the payroll from other teams.
Speaker 8: But a lot of that luxury tack goes to the
Speaker 8: minor teams to try to help them actually build their payroll.
Speaker 8: I want to know why they're putting it in their
Speaker 8: pocket and step investing it into their teams. And number three,
Speaker 8: earlier today you said the words expensive elephant in the room. Well,
Speaker 8: I want to know why some of those expensive elephants
Speaker 8: out in Oakland from pin stripes and no one seems
Speaker 8: to care. But all of a sudden they go to
Speaker 8: the Dodgers and were the villains.
Speaker 12: Anyways, ya.
Speaker 2: Look, I don't have a problem with what the Dodgers do,
Speaker 2: all right. The Oakland A's owner is bad for baseball.
Speaker 2: What the Dodgers do. The Dodgers win, The Dodgers make money,
Speaker 2: The Dodgers reinvest. The Dodgers treat their fan base with respect.
Speaker 2: They want you to come out, they want you to watch,
Speaker 2: they want you to invest. It's your team. They want stars.
Speaker 2: The Yankees did this The Yankees did this when George
Speaker 2: Steinbrenner was making money off the Yes Network, and therefore
Speaker 2: he was able to have even more money to invest
Speaker 2: in his players. So they became personalities. They were must
Speaker 2: see TV. They were like friends on Thursday Night. You
Speaker 2: knew everybody in the lineup. That's what George Steinbrenner wanted
Speaker 2: to do, and he did. He created that. Well, they're
Speaker 2: not the only ones able to do that.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 2: Now it comes down to how good is your baseball
Speaker 2: front office? How good are the smart people analytics, minor
Speaker 2: league making trades, shrewd decisions, you know, financial people. I mean,
Speaker 2: it takes a lot of people. It's not just one
Speaker 2: person there. I grew up where Bob Housen was the
Speaker 2: general manager of the Cincinnati Reds. I don't know who
Speaker 2: else was involved in situations where, you know, keeping Pete
Speaker 2: Rose or getting rid of Pete Rose, keeping Johnny Bench,
Speaker 2: salary for Tony Perez, trading for Joe Morgan from Houston.
Speaker 2: It felt like there was one person baseball's front offices.
Speaker 2: It's not just one person anymore. You have to have
Speaker 2: a team in there. Brooks in Florida, Hi Brooks, what
Speaker 2: do you have for me today.
Speaker 13: Hey Dan six' one two o five, So comment on
Speaker 13: the Dodgers. I think every sports fan wants nothing more
Speaker 13: than to have owners the Dodgers. They care about winning
Speaker 13: more than making money, and when they win, they make
Speaker 13: more money. Anyways, I think it was last week as well.
Speaker 13: You guys were talking about common sports injuries. I was
Speaker 13: fortunate enough to play a little bit of minor league ball.
Speaker 13: I had Tommy John and I can, maybe with a
Speaker 13: biased opinion, it is by far the worst. It was
Speaker 13: six months before I even touched the baseball again, let
Speaker 13: alone probably two years before I felt normal. It's absolutely awful.
Speaker 13: And then just some advice from you. Maybe my daughter
Speaker 13: is just under five months old. How do I prepare
Speaker 13: for that speech that you're about to give?
Speaker 2: How about you don't think about it for twenty years,
Speaker 2: Brooks that because all I'm obsessed with it. I get
Speaker 2: in the car, go to play golf yesterday, turn down
Speaker 2: the music. It's just silence in there, and I'm practicing
Speaker 2: my speech over and over and over and over. But
Speaker 2: it's taken me thirty years to prepare for this, and
Speaker 2: I'm not even prepared for this. Jay and Delaware, Hi, Jay,
Speaker 2: Best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 11: Hey, Dan Quick, best two signings. I'm the forty nine
Speaker 11: ers fine back Deebo Sam Samuels, and we picked up
Speaker 11: Khalil Herbert as well. We got our bully back on
Speaker 11: offense after getting our bullyback on defense, Drey Greenlaws. I'm
Speaker 11: very excited about that. And first day there he's and
Speaker 11: teen drills. Looks great, looks the best safe he's been
Speaker 11: in since twenty nineteen.
Speaker 5: Worst of the.
Speaker 11: Weekend as a Brave fan, anyone but the Dodgers he
Speaker 11: could have went to. But I'm not mad at the Dodgers.
Speaker 11: I'm more mad at the Brave. The signings that we did,
Speaker 11: the trade that we did make this weekend very underwhelming.
Speaker 11: We're eight games ahead in our division. I just don't
Speaker 11: understand why we didn't push harder to get Schoogle with
Speaker 11: the with the Andrews we've had in our starting pitching lineup.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought that the Braves were kind of poised
Speaker 2: to sneak in there and get Trek Scoubel, but Schoobol
Speaker 2: wanted to go to the Dodgers. But once again, if
Speaker 2: you're the Braves or the Brewers, how important is this year?
Speaker 2: How good are we this year? And if you really
Speaker 2: think that you have a chance, a good chance, then
Speaker 2: you roll the dice. Maybe you win and Terrek Scouobel
Speaker 2: wants to stay with you. But those who didn't do anything,
Speaker 2: like you can't sit there and go, oh, the Dodgers, Okay,
Speaker 2: the Dodgers still gave up to what top forty prospects.
Speaker 2: I mean, was it the hall that people thought you
Speaker 2: were going to get for schoolbl No, but all they
Speaker 2: did was, hey, how about this? And nobody could top
Speaker 2: that deal? And so what if he doesn't re sign, Yes,
Speaker 2: we lose prospects, but do we have a chance to win?
Speaker 2: Because if you play this way, you know you're gonna
Speaker 2: be a fifteen game, twenty game, over five hundred team.
Speaker 2: And we got to the playoffs and then what Okay,
Speaker 2: but if that's your goal, like there's some owners that
Speaker 2: probably don't even have that goal. It's like, hey, let's
Speaker 2: just see, you know what kind of fan base we
Speaker 2: can get, how much money we can get, who can
Speaker 2: we keep, What are we gonna get, what are we
Speaker 2: gonna get in return for you know, this star player?
Speaker 2: I mean, that's I have more of a problem with
Speaker 2: that than I do with what the Dodgers do or
Speaker 2: the Yankees do. Look the Mets, that owner, you know,
Speaker 2: didn't understand baseball. You can be a Mets fan, but
Speaker 2: you got to understand baseball. And you know you want
Speaker 2: to go out and you want to sign Soto to
Speaker 2: seven hundred million dollars. He ain't Otani. Nobody is going, man,
Speaker 2: I can't wait to go see Soto. They are coming
Speaker 2: out to see show a Utani. And you know, as
Speaker 2: Jeff Passing said last week, he might be a bargain
Speaker 2: seven hundred million dollars. Soto ain't no bargain. But the Mets.
Speaker 2: The Mets have made a mess out of just saying
Speaker 2: I can go out there and spend this money. It's
Speaker 2: getting the right people to make the right decisions. You
Speaker 2: can have a checkbook, but there's certain people shouldn't be
Speaker 2: signing checks. Take a break. We'll get more phone calls
Speaker 2: coming up back after this.

Speaker 2: I don't know if this was what Bryce Harper was
Speaker 2: hoping for when he said to Don Mattingly, we need
Speaker 2: more help. The Phillies picked up Luis Arise. You see
Speaker 2: a former batting champ and you know, a good stick there,
Speaker 2: but I you know, in today's game, I don't know
Speaker 2: how valued he is. But they picked up a Rise, Yeah, PAULI.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a Rise, four time All Star, he was on
Speaker 4: the Giants this year, hit three twenty fours. His hitting
Speaker 4: three twenty four and you're right, he is a on
Speaker 4: paces to be a four time batting champ.
Speaker 2: Yeah. It used to be a big deal, fighting for
Speaker 2: the batting championship and done not anymore. Used to be
Speaker 2: you could run down the list of batting champs and
Speaker 2: nowadays you're like, okay, is your Dan Alvarez gonna win
Speaker 2: the Triple Crown because he is an overwhelming favor to
Speaker 2: win the American League MVP. He is minus nine hundred.
Speaker 2: Junior Kamenero is plus six hundred. He is second in
Speaker 2: the National League. Pete Crow Armstrong is closing the gap
Speaker 2: on show Hey outani Otani's minus one forty PCA is
Speaker 2: plus one hundred. Those are the only two players in
Speaker 2: the race for the MVP. Yeah, Paul, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Jordan Alvarez is leading in everything. Homer's RBI, batting average, OBP,
Speaker 4: SLG whatever. The other one is Ops.
Speaker 2: War Voight voy Yeah. Whatever that was.
Speaker 10: If there's a stat he's leading in it.
Speaker 2: But here's it's a triple crown season. And it's like,
Speaker 2: uh yeah, And I don't know. It's like the things
Speaker 2: I valued when I was growing up, I have no
Speaker 2: idea if they have value anymore.
Speaker 6: Yes, Marvin, it is wild how unfamous baseball players are nowadays.
Speaker 6: If this was even nineteen ninety five, this would have
Speaker 6: been leading sports anderver, somebody who was trying to, you know,
Speaker 6: go for the triple crown, you know, August right, Miguel
Speaker 6: Carbrero won it, and it was like, Okay, that's cute,
Speaker 6: But if Mickey Mantle or Roger Maris was somebody of that,
Speaker 6: ilk would have done it. In the nineteen sixties, this
Speaker 6: would have been they would have been on a cover
Speaker 6: of Life magazine doing this.
Speaker 2: Yeap, yes, Poe.
Speaker 4: Like, if you hit three thirty five, it's not going
Speaker 4: to make headlines. It's great for your career and your team,
Speaker 4: but you need to hit like three seventy eight in August,
Speaker 4: where you're flirting with four hundred even in the vicinity
Speaker 4: to get people to notice it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but nobody's trying to hit four hundred. They don't
Speaker 2: even you know, give you the impression that they want
Speaker 2: to bat over three point fifty.
Speaker 3: Yes, Dylan, Well, that's why to me these days, it's
Speaker 3: more impressive when a guy's hitting over three hundred, which
Speaker 3: is crazy that there's an inverse relationship to how much
Speaker 3: people care.
Speaker 2: Well, I go back to nineteen sixty eight and you
Speaker 2: had Carl Yastremsky added three to zero one, I think,
Speaker 2: and he won the batting title the second highest batting average. Now,
Speaker 2: this is when they changed the height of the mound,
Speaker 2: and you know, sixty eight was the year of the pitcher.
Speaker 2: Danny Cater of the a's I think hit two ninety
Speaker 2: that those were the highest averages, and at the time
Speaker 2: it was like, that is crazy that you could have
Speaker 2: had that low of a batting average. But back then,
Speaker 2: in nineteen sixty eight, they changed the mound and pitchers dominated.
Speaker 2: But for the most part, growing up, George Brett, Tony Gwynn,
Speaker 2: Rod Carew trying to go for four hundred, it was
Speaker 2: a big deal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Dylan, is there an asterisk next to Bob Gibson's
Speaker 3: nineteen sixty eight season because of that? Or did people
Speaker 3: just sort of say whatever.
Speaker 2: Well, then it would be next to Denny McLain as
Speaker 2: well because he won thirty games. There would be an
Speaker 2: asterisk by every pitcher in baseball, not just Bob Gibson.
Speaker 2: Bob Gibson was a Hall of Famer without Night teen
Speaker 2: sixty eight. Bob Gibson is one of my favorite pitchers
Speaker 2: because that dude he was bringing it. He was you
Speaker 2: want to pitch angry, He pitched angry. He pitched aggressive
Speaker 2: and he didn't and he was a big guy. Former
Speaker 2: I think he played for the Harlem Globetrotters. I think
Speaker 2: he was out of Creighton, But I just remember Bob
Speaker 2: Gibson on the mound the Cardinals. Back then, it wasn't
Speaker 2: it wasn't going to be a good night. Yeah, Paulie.
Speaker 4: How many players in all of baseball are hitting over
Speaker 4: three hundred as of today? Seven seven is correct, blue
Speaker 4: Blue bloo. So you're hitting a thousand today? Okay, No
Speaker 4: one's over three thirty or Alvarez like you mentioned, is
Speaker 4: at three thirty. There are three guys in all of
Speaker 4: baseball hitting more than over three twenty.
Speaker 2: Joe Jamas.
Speaker 13: Day Day.
Speaker 12: Day.
Speaker 1: Nay, this is the style of the.
Speaker 2: Day brought you by Panini America. It was on this
Speaker 2: day nineteen forty one Joe Demagio goes oh for four
Speaker 2: that ended his on base streak at seventy four.
Speaker 10: Games, over rated.
Speaker 2: Seventy four consecutive games where he got on either base, hit,
Speaker 2: hit by pitch, or a walk. Dang, yeah, Paully.
Speaker 4: Do you think if we were on sports radio in
Speaker 4: that year, we would have done a pole question? Would
Speaker 4: you rather hit three ninety or Mary Marilyn Monroe? We
Speaker 4: would have done that pole question.
Speaker 2: Right, I think I'd rather hit three ninety back then, Yeah, what.
Speaker 10: About three fifty?
Speaker 2: Maybe you know Maril Monroe? There I don't know the
Speaker 2: right there. There was a lot. There was a lot
Speaker 2: going on there, you know, you know, just give me
Speaker 2: a nice, normal woman. You don't need to have an
Speaker 2: actress or any of it. No, no, yeah, uh. Plus,
Speaker 2: you know the Kennedys are involved, and Sinatra's involved and
Speaker 2: Domagio and no, that's that's not gonna be good. Yes, Dylan.
Speaker 3: The modern version of that question would be like, would
Speaker 3: you rather hit three oh two or Mary Sidney Sweeney?
Speaker 10: That's the Yeah, let's do that.
Speaker 2: Uh, I guess I'd rather marry Sidney Sweeney. Three oh
Speaker 2: two is not impressive. Sidney Sweeney is impressive, all right,
Speaker 2: you know hit three oh two. I never thought we
Speaker 2: would have that question, but I'm glad we got it
Speaker 2: out of the way. Would you rather bet three oh
Speaker 2: two or Mary Sidney Sweeney? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Are you saying three oh two for a year or
Speaker 4: a deck? Because three oh two for a decade you're
Speaker 4: getting paid.
Speaker 2: How about your career? Oh wow, you end up at
Speaker 2: three oh two? You hit three oh two for your career?
Speaker 2: Or you're married to Sydney Sweeney for fifteen years? What
Speaker 2: do you sign it up for three oh two? Are
Speaker 2: you you're not on the Sydney Sweeney bandwagon, Marvin. No,
Speaker 2: she's impressive.
Speaker 6: But okay, that's impressive.
Speaker 2: Three hundred for ten years, all right, Yes, Tom.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go the other way on that. I go
Speaker 7: to take a Sweeney choice.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, what a shocker.
Speaker 4: Yes, Paul, I've got some names of baseball players who
Speaker 4: hit three oh two exactly for the career. So you
Speaker 4: could be Buster Posey and you're on the market you
Speaker 4: hit three oh two, or you get Sidney Sweeney, You're
Speaker 4: hit like two forty.
Speaker 2: Buster Posey's a Hall of Famer. Though, Yeah, who is
Speaker 2: who's dating Sydney's Sweeney?
Speaker 14: Now?
Speaker 2: It's uh, what's his name? Scooter bron Scooter Broun, He
Speaker 2: goes he's he's the producer behind Taylor Swift. Yep, I
Speaker 2: think he made a lot of money and uh, I
Speaker 2: think he got divorced and now he's with Sidney Sweeney.
Speaker 2: Not that I keep up on you for you, just letting.
Speaker 10: You know totally.
Speaker 2: Yeah, h Adam in La hi, Adam, what do you
Speaker 2: have for me today?
Speaker 5: Good morning? My best and worst of the weekend. Best
Speaker 5: was easy the Dodgers got schoobl but my worst was
Speaker 5: also easy. The Dodgers got swept at home by Boston,
Speaker 5: so Red Sox are scores and al seems wide open.
Speaker 5: I've never felt so optimistic before after my team gets swept.
Speaker 5: But the Dodgers are about to get Blake Snell, Tyler Glass, no,
Speaker 5: Will Smith all back, got the addition of schoobl got
Speaker 5: to keep Otani healthy obviously for October. But it's hard
Speaker 5: not to think Repete still got to go out and
Speaker 5: win the games, of course. And then I got one
Speaker 5: quick question for you, DP. I'm just waiting for this.
Speaker 5: Aaron Donald is returning to the Rams and News to
Speaker 5: drop in football to start. What do you think do
Speaker 5: you think it's sooner or later? And then it's just
Speaker 5: a really good time to be in La fan. You
Speaker 5: guys are great, have a great week. DP is the
Speaker 5: best man. Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 2: Adam. Yeah, I think that he's coming back. I think
Speaker 2: you're going to push this as long as you can.
Speaker 2: If I'm Aaron Donald, you just want to let your
Speaker 2: coach know, Hey, I'm staying in shape and but I
Speaker 2: when I come in, I want I'm going to be
Speaker 2: ready for the football season. But I don't want to
Speaker 2: go through you know all of that, and guys would
Speaker 2: hold out. Sometimes guys come up with excuses, you know,
Speaker 2: little injuries that they just don't want to go through.
Speaker 2: You know, Aaron Rodgers would do that, But you can
Speaker 2: earn the right to do that, and Aaron Donald has Yes, Marvin,
Speaker 2: if Aaron.
Speaker 6: Donald ends up going back to the Rams, who's under
Speaker 6: more pressure to win a championship?
Speaker 2: The Dodgers or the That's a good question. Uh, that's
Speaker 2: going to be picked up by every talk show in
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. You'll get some people saying, you know, I
Speaker 2: was just wondering here, who has more pressure? The Dodgers?
Speaker 2: The Dodgers is a bottom line. It feels like they
Speaker 2: have to win it every year. You know, the Rams
Speaker 2: didn't win it last year, and you can make a
Speaker 2: case they were the best team, but the best team
Speaker 2: doesn't always win. And it's one game. See with the Dodgers,
Speaker 2: you have that luxury of, you know, seven games, and
Speaker 2: it'd be really hard to beat a team that's that
Speaker 2: good in seven games, whereas in the NFL, you know,
Speaker 2: you can have one play, one moment, one turnover, one touchdown. Yeah,
Speaker 2: poling just to.
Speaker 4: Play Devil's advocate. The Rams had the number one offense
Speaker 4: in football. Last year, their defense was ranked tenth, and
Speaker 4: they ended they added Garrett and McDuffie. Duffy almost forget
Speaker 4: about that. They have no wiggle room to not make
Speaker 4: it further.
Speaker 2: Well, you make it further, then you're going to make
Speaker 2: it to the Super Bowl, right Yeah. So yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: nobody's going to be surprised if they do. They'll be
Speaker 2: surprised if they don't. If they If I said, hey,
Speaker 2: the Rams aren't going to win the Super Bowl, you'd
Speaker 2: be like, but they got there. Yes, Hey, the Dodgers
Speaker 2: aren't going to win the World Series. That would be
Speaker 2: a bigger surprise in my opinion.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Dylan, Well, and if you surveyed people in LA too,
Speaker 3: they would probably overwhelmingly prefer another Dodgers World Series than
Speaker 3: a Rams Super Bowl. Right, I mean, I feel like
Speaker 3: the Dodgers are a much bigger game in town.
Speaker 2: Yes. Yeah. Zayre Hope was the key prospect in the
Speaker 2: Trek Scoobal trade. He was eleventh round pick by the Cubs.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers traded Mike Bush to the Cubs for him,
Speaker 2: so they got this talent with you know, he was
Speaker 2: an eleventh round pick and then ultimately they trade him yesterday.
Speaker 2: He's the prized guy in the Trek Scooble trade. So
Speaker 2: the Dodgers basically traded Michael Bush for Trek Scooble. That's
Speaker 2: the difference with the Dodgers than anybody else. That's just
Speaker 2: smart baseball. That has nothing to do with Hey, here's
Speaker 2: a blank check. We're going to bring this person in.
Speaker 2: You take somebody, you help develop them, now a top
Speaker 2: forty prospect, and then you send him as part of
Speaker 2: the Trek Scooble trade. That's just smart baseball. Aaron and
Speaker 2: fort Wayne hi erin, what do you have for me today?
Speaker 15: Hey, Dan, thanks for taking my call. I just want
Speaker 15: to comment on Kyle Willingham. I don't think like you
Speaker 15: can't lose any games obviously in these stupid media day
Speaker 15: but you can definitely lose fan support. I think it
Speaker 15: comes off as a little bit tone deaf to the
Speaker 15: fan base. You got to just play the hits sometimes,
Speaker 15: and Michigan fans want to hear that you hate Ohio State.
Speaker 15: I mean, Woody Hayes famously wouldn't even get gas in
Speaker 15: Michigan and said we'll push this bus back to the
Speaker 15: Ohio line before we give them a nickel, And yeah,
Speaker 15: I just think it's a little bit you got to
Speaker 15: understand like who you're talking to and who you're speaking
Speaker 15: to at these media days.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just not Kyle Whittingham, that's all. It's Jim Harball.
Speaker 2: Jim Harball went to Michigan, and I think if you
Speaker 2: went there, played there, you were brought up in that universe,
Speaker 2: then you certainly understand that. But Kyle Whittingham, he's just
Speaker 2: a nice man who's a really good football coach. You know,
Speaker 2: Jim Harball wanted to tweak Ryan Day. He loved that. Yes, Todd, if.
Speaker 9: It's contrived, you're too obvious that you're pandering to the
Speaker 9: fans as much as they want to hear the coach
Speaker 9: be all angry about Oh, it's like the politician that says,
Speaker 9: like something obvious. It's like, and every student should have
Speaker 9: a desk and h and a p and a pencil
Speaker 9: to come on, Prisoners should go to jail, Criminals should
Speaker 9: go to prison.
Speaker 2: Who was with me?
Speaker 9: Huh say something obvious like I don't know, like, you know,
Speaker 9: obviously there's a there's a major rivalry there.
Speaker 7: Does he really need to say? Yeah, now that I
Speaker 7: took over the job.
Speaker 2: I hate the buck Well, I don't know. Yes, that's
Speaker 2: I mean, it's kind of weird. You walk in and
Speaker 2: you go, uh, let's see, Uh you got your notes
Speaker 2: for your press conference? Yes, I do. Uh yeah, make
Speaker 2: sure you bring up that. Oh yeah, and I hate
Speaker 2: ohives too, Okay, yeah, Pauline.
Speaker 4: See, I think it's the opposite. I think it's a
Speaker 4: must pander situation. Everyone's going to know you're making it
Speaker 4: up and you're not a Michigan lifer. It's like when
Speaker 4: Kurt Signetti got hired at Indiana, not a hot bed
Speaker 4: of football. He went to a basketball game and he
Speaker 4: started his whole speech with produced sucks. He played the crowd.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't think he hated Purdue, not at all.
Speaker 4: But you play to the home crowd and tell them
Speaker 4: what they want to hear just for the sake of it.
Speaker 2: Almost yeah, kind of winning him is not that way,
Speaker 2: Signetti said. We heard Signetti, you know, at the Big
Speaker 2: Ten Press conference taking a shot at the SEC. It's
Speaker 2: just not Kyle Winningham.
Speaker 6: Yes, Martin, Well, I don't think he had to sound
Speaker 6: like Randy macho man savage while he was doing it.
Speaker 6: But I think he just has to drive the point
Speaker 6: home that my biggest goal is to beat Ohio State
Speaker 6: and then win the Big Ten in national championship.
Speaker 16: Asks.
Speaker 2: Okay, but you can. You can say that, but then
Speaker 2: that's not going to satisfy people saying, oh, did you
Speaker 2: hear how he said it. Hey, we're gonna go out
Speaker 2: there and we're gonna beat Ohio State. We're gonna win
Speaker 2: the national championship.
Speaker 6: Yes, Mark, Well, No, I don't think that's true because
Speaker 6: when Jim Tressel, he spoke at an Ohio State basketball
Speaker 6: game and he was like, we're gonna be great in
Speaker 6: the classroom, and we're gonna be great on the field,
Speaker 6: and then and then we're gonna be great and he
Speaker 6: said like three hundred and twenty days when we play
Speaker 6: that team up north, and then the crowd was going crazy.
Speaker 6: So I don't think you have to spit fire and
Speaker 6: act like the Ultimate Warrior or anything like that w
Speaker 6: W style. You just have to ingratiate yourself to the
Speaker 6: home fans. This isn't Eastern Michigan. This is Michigan. He's
Speaker 6: playing Ohio State. Come on, get up.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, Dylan, What.
Speaker 3: If he was just like I don't hate Ohio State yet.
Speaker 2: Okay, right, yeah, but I have plenty of time to
Speaker 2: come on, let's go get him.
Speaker 10: How fun would it be there said.
Speaker 2: We're gonna get on the top roupe and we're gonna get.
Speaker 10: Done and look at a Chrystal.
Speaker 7: That'll be fine.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna blame you, Marvin. I'm sorry, Macho man Savage
Speaker 2: Zach and Knoxville. Hi, Zach, what do you have for me?
Speaker 16: I'll supposed to follow macho man Randy Savage impersonation. Way
Speaker 16: to put me on spot DP. Now the Tarrek Scooble trade,
Speaker 16: I know that. I think the NBA started it and
Speaker 16: then the NFL.
Speaker 2: Kind of followed suit.
Speaker 16: When when did MLB players get to pick and choose
Speaker 16: where they got traded to? That just kind of seems
Speaker 16: like a new thing to me.
Speaker 2: Well, I think if you're winning a couple of u
Speaker 2: Cy Young's that you can say, look, if you're going
Speaker 2: to trade me, trade me where I'm there's a chance
Speaker 2: that I'm going to resign. If not, then you know
Speaker 2: I'm not going to stay with that team. And it
Speaker 2: felt like he had leverage there. The Dodgers wanted him
Speaker 2: and whatever role he played in telling the Tigers don't
Speaker 2: entertain any other offers. I want to go to the Dodgers,
Speaker 2: and maybe you know that's going to hurt their leverage significantly.
Speaker 2: By the way, Jordan Alvarez, he was in the Dodgers organization.
Speaker 2: He was traded for relief pitcher a couple of years back.
Speaker 2: So the Dodgers do make mistakes in their front office.
Speaker 10: Yes, he'll be a Dodger again.
Speaker 2: Let me take a break. Last Golf for phone calls,
Speaker 2: what we learn? Once in store tomorrow? Back after this.
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
Speaker 1: dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to
Speaker 1: listen live.
Speaker 2: Last Golf for phone calls, What we learn, What's in
Speaker 2: store tomorrow? Have all of that forthcoming and this day
Speaker 2: in sports history. How about Austin in Utah? Hi, Austin,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
Speaker 17: Hey, Dann, I just need to stick up for Kyle
Speaker 17: Livingham real quick. Okay, everyone thinks that he doesn't know
Speaker 17: a big game rivalry, but he coached in Utah where
Speaker 17: the Utah Yu rivalry is almost though. I mean it
Speaker 17: literally is. The Civil War, Its the same state. We
Speaker 17: don't have a state in counties between us biggest rivalries
Speaker 17: forty minutes down the road that governors had to make
Speaker 17: comments about keeping it cool. It literally tell her whole
Speaker 17: families apart, neighbor at the park coworker's part. So he
Speaker 17: knows a big game. People need to cut him some slack.
Speaker 17: He has that attitude.
Speaker 2: Kind of Terry in Atlanta, Hi, Terry.
Speaker 12: Hey, Dan, first time, long time, six one two pounds,
Speaker 12: and Kyle. I think he just doesn't know his audience yet.
Speaker 12: DP was born and raised in Michigan, lived in Georgia
Speaker 12: since two thousand and nine and haven't made dozens of
Speaker 12: trips back up to Michigan driving on the way there.
Speaker 12: On the way back, I drive an hour out of
Speaker 12: the way to go through Indiana so that I'm not
Speaker 12: even painted.
Speaker 7: By the air.
Speaker 12: In Ohio, I don't break down and have to support
Speaker 12: their economy like I want nothing to do with them.
Speaker 12: I just don't think he understands how deep it goes yet.
Speaker 12: And I would just say to the last caller, are
Speaker 12: we talking about Utah?
Speaker 2: I don't know, Hey, having been out there BYU and Utah,
Speaker 2: that is real. That is a real rivalry. We don't
Speaker 2: have many left, that's real. Nothing compares to Michigan and
Speaker 2: Ohio State. Nothing. I mean, Army Navy is different, but
Speaker 2: Michigan and Ohio State. Growing up an Ohio State fan,
Speaker 2: I hated Michigan. But you have to be brought up
Speaker 2: there to understand it. But I don't think Kyle Winningham
Speaker 2: went in there and needed a tutorial on how to
Speaker 2: hate Ohio State. I just I don't know if he
Speaker 2: said that he you know, hated Utah or by you
Speaker 2: you know, if the coaches hate each other. Yeah, Pauline, this.
Speaker 4: Is getting me fired up for college football right now.
Speaker 10: Those last two calls, Let's.
Speaker 2: Go, uh Justin in North Carolina? How Justin would he
Speaker 2: have for me?
Speaker 12: Hey?
Speaker 18: Then six to one, two seventeen in Rising. My worst
Speaker 18: of the weekend, I would say is brown Z owner
Speaker 18: Jimmy Haslum passed the bub on the Miles Garrett decision.
Speaker 18: And best of the weekend is definitely Odell Beckham is back.
Speaker 18: Made a nice sliding end zone grab for the Giants
Speaker 18: in West Virginia.
Speaker 2: Yay, Hey, I don't know what it means. Yeay, Hey, Uh,
Speaker 2: I don't think I'll ever be on Odell Beckham's good side.
Speaker 2: Then he call me an outsider. I had an insider.
Speaker 2: I was an outsider. I don't even know what the
Speaker 2: story was. I know I was right, but I like
Speaker 2: he put out something on social media or I put
Speaker 2: out an opinion on social media something. And then he
Speaker 2: responded calling me an outsider. I'm like, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2: I don't want to be an insider. David North, Carolina, Hi, Dave,
Speaker 2: what do you have for me?
Speaker 13: I have a different take on your three zero two
Speaker 13: hit her and marrying Sydney Sweeney?
Speaker 5: How about pre sty Youngs and Kate Upton. Oh, I'm sorry,
Speaker 5: Justin Burlander did.
Speaker 2: It all alrighty Dave? Well, well, yeah, yeah, yeah. He
Speaker 2: was Hall of Famer on and off the field. Apparently
Speaker 2: this Dane sports history, Paul.
Speaker 4: I got a couple for you, Dan, nineteen thirty six
Speaker 4: in Berlin, Germany. Jesse Owens won the first of his
Speaker 4: four Olympic gold medals. Nineteen forty nine. I did not
Speaker 4: know this. The NBA was formed. It was called the
Speaker 4: National Basketball Association. The two merged leagues, the Basketball Association
Speaker 4: of America the BAA the BA and the National Basketball
Speaker 4: League the NBL.
Speaker 2: Okay, I didn't know that either. Yeah. Mary lou Rettin
Speaker 2: had a perfect ten on her final vault, first American
Speaker 2: woman to win the all around gold nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 2: On this day, well, nineteen eighty seven, Joe Nekro the
Speaker 2: Twins caught with a nail file on the mound, ejected,
Speaker 2: suspended for ten games. That is when he the Empire
Speaker 2: went he amped out your pockets and he emptied him out,
Speaker 2: and he tried to throw the nail file out, and
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, it's like, oh no, what
Speaker 2: is that right there? He had a nail file. Now
Speaker 2: you would think for a guy who threw a knuckleball
Speaker 2: that they would let you file your nails. The problem
Speaker 2: is he was probably filing something else. Yes, PAULI. I
Speaker 2: just looked at the video.
Speaker 4: And his nonchalant throw out the nail file, like, oh look,
Speaker 4: we just fell from the sky.
Speaker 10: It's very fun.
Speaker 2: I'll be damned. Oh my wife must have put her
Speaker 2: nail file in my back pocket. Yes, Tom.
Speaker 9: And there's that one umpire with his arms folder that
Speaker 9: slowly watches it as it leaves his hand and watching
Speaker 9: it fall to the ground with his neck filing here
Speaker 9: was so.
Speaker 2: Great final results of the poll question, Dylan, which league.
Speaker 3: Has the most parody? The MLB, NFL, NHL, or NBA.
Speaker 3: The NFL cruising at sixty one percent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I have to factor in the NBA
Speaker 2: did have eight different champions, so that it doesn't give
Speaker 2: everybody a chance. But you know, you're not dealing with
Speaker 2: a dynasty. You know what is a dynasty anymore? A
Speaker 2: dynasty in baseball is different than a dynasty in football,
Speaker 2: dynasty in basketball. And it feels like it is because
Speaker 2: are the Dodgers in the dynasty conversation? Golden State was
Speaker 2: in a dynasty conversation, the Patriots in a dynasty conversation? Okay,
Speaker 2: see we thought now that quieted just a little bit there.
Speaker 6: Yes, Marvin, if the Dodgers win this year, dynasty easily
Speaker 6: right through straight.
Speaker 2: I would say so, yes, Yes, Dylan.
Speaker 3: It seems like three is sort of the consensus, and
Speaker 3: I'm like three and five years or something.
Speaker 10: People can make the dynasty case.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yeah, three and five is usually instead of
Speaker 2: your winning three in a row or three and four years, Yesmarv.
Speaker 6: Yeah, super random. The San Francisco Giants, they had three
Speaker 6: Super Bowls, three World series, But we don't consider them
Speaker 6: a dynasty because they did it with like three different
Speaker 6: lineups and they didn't do it in like back to
Speaker 6: back seasons either.
Speaker 2: Yeah, didn't they do it every even year? I think
Speaker 2: was it? That's I believe so like it was it
Speaker 2: was like, you know, one year than not the next
Speaker 2: year and then the year after that for so I
Speaker 2: don't know, Yes, Dylan, Yeah.
Speaker 3: I believe it was ten, twelve, fourteen where those three
Speaker 3: Giants World Series.
Speaker 2: Uh, Todd, what'd you learn on today's program?
Speaker 9: Lifelong Dodge has been harold in North Dakota wants to
Speaker 9: know why they keep having oh tony lead up and
Speaker 9: opponents really pitched to him.
Speaker 2: Uh, that's all analytics right there. What did I learn today? Todd?
Speaker 9: Kim Kirchin word, there'll be a lockout games lost next season,
Speaker 9: maybe the whole season.
Speaker 2: You have a great day of everybody for Fritzie, Dylan,
Speaker 2: mar Paula, yours truly in the back room. Guys, we'll
Speaker 2: talk to you tomorrow.
