Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio final hour in this Monday best and wordst
Speaker 1: to the weekend.
Speaker 2: More of your phone calls coming up which you saw
Speaker 2: that you liked you didn't like? Eight seven seven three DP.
Speaker 2: Show operator Tyler sitting by to take your phone calls.
Speaker 2: Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America,
Speaker 2: the official trading cards to the program. Good morning. If
Speaker 2: you're watching on Peacock, that's our streaming partner. Download the
Speaker 2: app if you haven't done so, we'll have a new
Speaker 2: poll question for the final hour of the program. The
Speaker 2: Rams went over the bills last night. The second time
Speaker 2: in NFL history you've had five touchdown passes, five rushing
Speaker 2: touchdowns in zero turnovers. Also the only game in the
Speaker 2: Super Bowl era in which teams combine for over nine
Speaker 2: hundred yards, twelve touchdowns, fifty first downs and neither team
Speaker 2: recorded a sack. Stat of the day, sat of the Day,
Speaker 2: That past stat of the day. Stat of the day,
Speaker 2: here comes that what stat of the day And Josh
Speaker 2: Allen first player in NFL history three rushing touchdowns three
Speaker 2: passing touchdowns in a single game. Here's Josh Allen after
Speaker 2: the loss.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, they're they're the top dog in football
Speaker 3: right now. They're playing extremely well. So we got to
Speaker 3: have a good week and learn.
Speaker 2: From this one.
Speaker 3: Put it behind us. But that was a good team
Speaker 3: that we just played with a really good quarterback and
Speaker 3: they played with urgency. You know at that point in
Speaker 3: the season, they're playing like they got to be in
Speaker 3: the playoffs right now, and you saw that and you
Speaker 3: felt that from them.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So the Bills had the Lions coming up. That's
Speaker 2: who he's talking about, is the top dog. You lose
Speaker 2: to the Rams, and it doesn't feel like there's panic
Speaker 2: time in Buffalo because they're going to win their division.
Speaker 2: They'll host a playoff game. But if you're a Buffalo
Speaker 2: Bills fan, you want to think the bigger picture here,
Speaker 2: and the bigger picture is getting by Kansas City and
Speaker 2: playing in a super Bowl, and maybe we would have
Speaker 2: the best possible super Bowl matchup, the Lions versus the
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. Somebody's going to win a super Bowl, all right.
Speaker 2: Poll question seating for the final hour of the program.
Speaker 4: Is see right now, Dan, We've got up there. Minnesota
Speaker 4: Vikings are well sixty two percent, say lucky Dabo Sweeney
Speaker 4: after won Soto is the luckiest person this weekend or
Speaker 4: they won the weekend College Football Committee got it right.
Speaker 4: Seventy eight percent of the vote. That's pretty good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a lot of people. Yeah, by the way,
Speaker 2: Sunday night, it'll be the Packers in Seahawks in primetime
Speaker 2: Sunday sevent Eastern on NBC and Peaki My Seahawks. They're
Speaker 2: somehow holding serve in there. I don't know how good
Speaker 2: they are. Actually, I thought they'd be better than this,
Speaker 2: but I thought the Rams would be a playoff team
Speaker 2: as well. That's one of those if they get in
Speaker 2: uh oh, like you don't want the Rams, they're gonna
Speaker 2: put up points. And with Stafford, you know, they got
Speaker 2: a running back, they got two good receivers. You know
Speaker 2: the question as we've talked about, you know, that's not
Speaker 2: a home field advantage, but they won't be hosting a
Speaker 2: playoff game. Yes, yeah.
Speaker 4: The crazy thing about the Seahawks is that they don't
Speaker 4: seem to do anything fancy. They're kind of just like
Speaker 4: like you don't see people crossing or any of these
Speaker 4: screens or like anything like this elaborate offense. It's kind
Speaker 4: of like Gino drop back and throw it, Gino hand
Speaker 4: it off. That's really it there, really isn't anything crazy.
Speaker 4: It's like just straight up football or something. They don't
Speaker 4: lead the league in aesthetics. Let's put it that way,
Speaker 4: like it's more of just the end result is really
Speaker 4: all we care about, not how we got to the
Speaker 4: end result. But it always feels like it's twenty three
Speaker 4: to nineteen. It's just, you know, not visually a pleasing game,
Speaker 4: and you keep waiting for somebody to be a star there,
Speaker 4: and nobody's really a star there. I mean, great organization,
Speaker 4: but you just kind of watch and you go okay.
Speaker 4: And then my Cardinals, my Cardinals with Kyler Murray, what happened?
Speaker 4: I know, ballgame, the early college football betting lines, I
Speaker 4: don't think they're expecting a close game here, Indiana getting
Speaker 4: seven and a half against Notre Dame, SMU getting nine
Speaker 4: against Penn State, Clemson getting eleven against Texas, and Tennessee
Speaker 4: getting seven and a half against Ohio State.
Speaker 2: I think, what will happen next year? Let's say SMU wins.
Speaker 2: Let's say SMU wins their game against Penn State, Well,
Speaker 2: that would mean or if Clemson won I'll make it simpler.
Speaker 2: If Clemson would win, that would that should mean that
Speaker 2: you would have Oregon play Clemson like it should be
Speaker 2: the highest ranking against the lowest ranking. That's the way
Speaker 2: it should be, because I don't I don't think Oregon
Speaker 2: got it any favors by beating Penn State in the
Speaker 2: Big Ten title game, and that's a shame. But I
Speaker 2: just think receding once you get to that next round
Speaker 2: is probably what they're going to end up doing. Ryan
Speaker 2: and Florida joins us Hi. Ryan, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 5: Good morning, Dan and Danette. I want to do the
Speaker 5: best and worst of the weekend. Best of the weekend
Speaker 5: was Army beating Tulane for the championship, and then sadly
Speaker 5: worst of the weekend, I lost my dad. But the
Speaker 5: main reason I'm calling is to thank to you and
Speaker 5: your Poff for what you guys do. He listened to
Speaker 5: you guys for the last twenty years being the truck driver,
Speaker 5: and I just want to say thank you and what
Speaker 5: you guys do to make an impact to others listening.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you. Ryan. I'm sorry to hear about that,
Speaker 2: and I can hear it in your voice, so hopefully
Speaker 2: we can put a smile on your face today or
Speaker 2: sometime soon.
Speaker 5: Always, And you know, I just can't thank you guys enough.
Speaker 2: Thank you Ryan Richard and Tucson. Hey Richard, what's on
Speaker 2: your mind today?
Speaker 6: Hey Dan?
Speaker 7: Dan?
Speaker 6: Do you believe in karma?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Yeah, well me too. And I think my best of
Speaker 6: the weekend was the karma of Aaron Rodgers. Now I
Speaker 6: need to preface this by saying, I'm an avid cheest head.
Speaker 6: When I was a kid, a teenager, I sold beer
Speaker 6: at the Ice Bowl in his Stowmobile suit. Follow the team. Yeah, fun,
Speaker 6: fun experience. And now he goes to the Jets with
Speaker 6: the expectation of at least getting into the Super Bowl,
Speaker 6: maybe winning it. And you know, we've always I've always
Speaker 6: been able to compartmentalize the behavior of our sports icons
Speaker 6: off the field as.
Speaker 8: Long as they're winning.
Speaker 6: We kind of do that.
Speaker 9: We put up with it.
Speaker 6: Well, now Aaron Rodgers yesterday has it this thing of
Speaker 6: putting the Jets into the unique position of owning fourteen
Speaker 6: consecutive seasons without going to the playoffs. And this is
Speaker 6: the record in all of sports in America.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I can only pin this season on him.
Speaker 2: The Jets have had a great ability of not having ability,
Speaker 2: so they are eliminated from playoff contention fourteen consecutive seasons.
Speaker 2: That breaks a time with the Sabers for the longest
Speaker 2: active playoffs ut across all four major sports leagues. I
Speaker 2: just don't know what the Jets are going to do.
Speaker 2: I don't know what because Rogers may say, hey, I
Speaker 2: want to play again, and if I'm a coach, I
Speaker 2: don't want to go into them. I don't want to
Speaker 2: have a one and done. I don't want to lame
Speaker 2: duck quarterback. I got to figure out if we keep losing,
Speaker 2: are we going to have the ability to get a quarterback?
Speaker 10: Here?
Speaker 2: Can we get cam Ward? It feels like Shdor Sanders
Speaker 2: is is trying to recruit the Raiders to take him,
Speaker 2: and the Raiders right now would have the number one
Speaker 2: pick in the draft. If they have the number one
Speaker 2: pick in the draft, I'm curious if Antonio Pierce will
Speaker 2: keep his job because they did not look that competitive yesterday. Now,
Speaker 2: granted they don't have a quarterback. Now they really don't
Speaker 2: have a quarterback. So Aidan O'Connell got injured, and you
Speaker 2: know they took him out with an air cast on
Speaker 2: his leg, so he not playing again the rest of
Speaker 2: this season. But you're going to have the number one
Speaker 2: pick in the draft. Would you take Shador Sanders? Would
Speaker 2: you take Travis Hunter? Because both of those guys will
Speaker 2: have an impact. But you got to have your quarterback.
Speaker 2: You know, look at these teams. If you don't have
Speaker 2: your quarterback, you're not competitive. You just have to have
Speaker 2: that guy, you know, when all else fails, that guy
Speaker 2: can get you through. You can count on him. The
Speaker 2: Raiders don't have that. And I do like what Bryce
Speaker 2: Young has done. I'm not going to give Carolina credit
Speaker 2: because they benched him. He needed to be benched, but
Speaker 2: he's made them at least competitive. And they could have
Speaker 2: won that game against the Eagles, and they could have
Speaker 2: beaten the Chiefs. And he played with some poison that
Speaker 2: now drove me crazy. He couldn't get a couple of
Speaker 2: plays off. I don't understand this. When you see the quarterback,
Speaker 2: you know, clapping like he wants the ball. What is
Speaker 2: the center waiting for? And then they have a penalty
Speaker 2: where they go from third and four to third and nine,
Speaker 2: And I don't know, if you don't hear it, it's
Speaker 2: a home game. I was just like, get the play
Speaker 2: all the number of times when the quarterback gets the
Speaker 2: ball and it feels like it's gone from one to
Speaker 2: zero and it's almost like half of one before he
Speaker 2: gets to zero, and then you snap the ball. Just
Speaker 2: snap the ball. What are we waiting for? You're going
Speaker 2: to change your play with one second to go? But
Speaker 2: I saw that yesterday and like, just snap the ball
Speaker 2: to him. Poor guy. It still looks like he's a
Speaker 2: kid out there. So it's like bring your son to
Speaker 2: work day. It's like, look at him out there. He's
Speaker 2: doing okay against the big boys. You got the Cowboys
Speaker 2: hosting the Bengal, Like this is one of those. If
Speaker 2: I was still gambling, I'd take the Cowboys in the
Speaker 2: five and a half and and I'm glad I don't
Speaker 2: gamble anymore. I survived, I escaped, and I've been tempted before,
Speaker 2: but you know, I never crack. It's like I don't,
Speaker 2: I don't want it. I don't, I don't. I didn't
Speaker 2: enjoy the wins as much as I hated the losses.
Speaker 2: The losses ate me up and I never I never
Speaker 2: bet on a game that I was watching. I couldn't
Speaker 2: watch the game if I bet.
Speaker 10: On the game?
Speaker 2: What is that the worst?
Speaker 7: Though?
Speaker 2: A lot of people will gamble because they need to
Speaker 2: have money on a game, and I would never watch
Speaker 2: the game. I drive around, I go shoot hoops. Like
Speaker 2: I did not want to bet on a game just
Speaker 2: because it's like, hey, it's Jacksonville against Tennessee, let me
Speaker 2: throw a dime on it or something. It was like, no,
Speaker 2: I wanted no part of it. And I have a
Speaker 2: lot of friends who do that. Though. They'll be like, oh,
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know, should I bet on the
Speaker 2: Monday night game? And then they'll say I'm gonna take
Speaker 2: like I'm the Bengals. Bengals, there's so much better than
Speaker 2: the Cowboys, And I'm thinking, are they I don't know?
Speaker 2: You got Joe Burrow? I get you know, I got that.
Speaker 2: But it feels like Dallas is closer to being a
Speaker 2: playoff team than the Bengals are for some reason. Yes, huh?
Speaker 10: And how much do you weigh in on things like
Speaker 10: they're one in five at home Dallas, they're due for
Speaker 10: that second win or they're likely going to lose their
Speaker 10: sixth game of the year in front of their home crown.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't. I don't know if that has anything
Speaker 2: to do with that. You know, it's not like they're
Speaker 2: going to be playing in the you know, the sunshine. Uh,
Speaker 2: you don't have to worry about the curtains there. But
Speaker 2: they just haven't been a good team, that's all. And
Speaker 2: the Bengals were supposed to be a really good team.
Speaker 2: I mean, it wasn't long ago that people still held
Speaker 2: out hope. Man, they're going to go on a run
Speaker 2: and it's easier to get into the playoffs in the AFC.
Speaker 2: But I'm watching this. The Bengals are a bigger disappointment.
Speaker 2: You still have your quarterback, you still have your star
Speaker 2: wide receiver, your defense has been terrible, and you're in
Speaker 2: the you know, you can say that that's as competitive
Speaker 2: as most divisions are. More so with the Ravens and
Speaker 2: the Steelers. You know, the Browns aren't. But the Bengals
Speaker 2: should be better. And Joe Burrow has been spectacular this year.
Speaker 2: Let's see Anthony in Vegas. Hi, Anthony, thanks for holding
Speaker 2: What do you have?
Speaker 9: Patrick?
Speaker 2: How you doing, sir, Hi Anthony?
Speaker 9: I am a teaching the youth of America. Get get
Speaker 9: at Lois and Jerry Tartanian middle school, and the weekend
Speaker 9: just got worse and worse. You and l we the
Speaker 9: youth are here at this time. I don't know what happened.
Speaker 9: I listened to it last time, and you couldn't hear
Speaker 9: them say hello? So do you I'm going to pass
Speaker 9: the phone around or I'm sensing some doubt in your voice?
Speaker 2: No, no, I just I didn't hear them. You didn't
Speaker 2: have a good payoff. You know, as a teacher, if
Speaker 2: you're telling a story or you're reading a story, there's
Speaker 2: always a big payoff there. Or you're going to do
Speaker 2: a word problem, there's a payoff. So Anthony, I'm going
Speaker 2: to blame the teacher, not the students.
Speaker 9: I respect that.
Speaker 8: I respect that.
Speaker 2: But if you want to put the phone out so
Speaker 2: I can hear said students.
Speaker 7: It's out.
Speaker 9: You got it?
Speaker 7: Stray high?
Speaker 6: I did you hear that?
Speaker 2: Wait? Are you teaching one? Are you a tutor?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 9: I got a whole class here?
Speaker 1: Am I not loud?
Speaker 2: I'm only hearing one person, Charlie say hi. No, that's
Speaker 2: one person. I want to hear the everybody. I want
Speaker 2: to hear everybody.
Speaker 9: I just go, you guys gotta scream on three one, two, three.
Speaker 9: Did you get that?
Speaker 2: Thank you, Anthony, good luck teaching the future of America.
Speaker 11: Yes, we have a theory over here that it's the
Speaker 11: phone not the students. Sometimes these phones are more they
Speaker 11: pick up sound that's near them, not the ambient sound
Speaker 11: behind people. Like they're better so they don't pick up that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're made to like drown out background noise, so
Speaker 4: you could just hear the voice now, so you don't
Speaker 4: get the ah.
Speaker 2: But he was going to pass the phone around for
Speaker 2: everybody individual to go, hey, hey, hey, hey, yes, tod
Speaker 2: well ridiculous, thank you. Yes.
Speaker 10: Do you think he's like a Michelle Pfeiffer in Dangerous
Speaker 10: Minds type of teacher, like wearing like a leather jacket
Speaker 10: and you know what, kids.
Speaker 2: That's it. That's a strange request here, our poll.
Speaker 10: I don't even remember the best teacher in the history
Speaker 10: of cinema, It's correct.
Speaker 2: Wasn't Cameron Diaz a teacher?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 10: Never mind, that's that's the greatest teacher. That's a debate.
Speaker 2: Uh oh Michelle Pfiffer by far. No, Yeah, Cameron Diaz
Speaker 2: can't hold a candle. Michelle Pfiffer, Yes, yes.
Speaker 11: Michelle Pfiffer. My teacher. I would have showed up early.
Speaker 11: I would have stayed late. I would have volunteered for detention.
Speaker 2: I would have gotten in trouble just too Yeah, or.
Speaker 11: You'd worked harder, so maybe you could, you know, I
Speaker 11: don't know.
Speaker 2: No, I would have stayed after school a problem student.
Speaker 2: I'd bring her apple. I'd have brought her a tree,
Speaker 2: an apple tree, hang it down. I would have brought
Speaker 2: an orchard for her shell fifer. That's oh yeah.
Speaker 11: Can you imagine being in the classroom and looking and
Speaker 11: be like looking at and eclips she couldn't look directly
Speaker 11: at her, trying to.
Speaker 2: Think, you know what, I don't know. I think I
Speaker 2: my English teacher, Missus Ross. Like I started to look
Speaker 2: at her and go, she's really pretty. But normally you're
Speaker 2: just saying they're a teacher, and you don't. I don't
Speaker 2: even I didn't think that. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: I'm in high school and I go, missus Ross is
Speaker 2: pretty hot, and uh, I mean it wasn't hot for
Speaker 2: teacher kind of thing, but it was, Oh, she's a
Speaker 2: very elegant woman. And I said that to my mom.
Speaker 2: I go, you know, missus Ross is really pretty. He
Speaker 2: goes and she goes, well, why don't you get better
Speaker 2: grades then? Because she's distracted? Yeah, he said, get it. No,
Speaker 2: they don't go together just because she's good looking, I
Speaker 2: should get better grades. All right, let me take a break.
Speaker 2: More phone calls coming up. Eight seven seven three DP show.
Speaker 2: We're back after this.

Speaker 2: Age seven to seven three DP show email Addressdpatdanpatrick dot com,
Speaker 2: Twitter handle at DP show. Let me see if we
Speaker 2: had any other insurance interesting stants here. The Jets are
Speaker 2: the first team to lose three straight in which they
Speaker 2: held their lead in the fourth quarter and they had
Speaker 2: a lead of at least five points. Last time that
Speaker 2: happened was twelve years ago with the Detroit lines. See,
Speaker 2: this is where Aaron Rodgers was going to make a difference.
Speaker 2: They were going to win close games. That's why you
Speaker 2: have this quarterback, That's why you have this investment. Here's
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers after the latest loss.
Speaker 12: Yeah, the expectations behind we didn't didn't reach him. How
Speaker 12: they work close? It felt good? Three weeks in that
Speaker 12: wee getting off. We had felt real good and since
Speaker 12: then it's been a lot of difficult games with opportunities
Speaker 12: to win. We just didn't fire out to win enough games.
Speaker 12: I didn't play good enough in some crunch times, and
Speaker 12: that's why we're sitting here with the record we got.
Speaker 2: Yep, that's true, but could be beneficial. Now, at what
Speaker 2: point would the Jet that's consider benching Aaron Rodgers to
Speaker 2: ensure that they continue to have a better chance at
Speaker 2: getting a better draft pick. Now, do you even need
Speaker 2: to bention? Would be my next question. Yeah, I kind
Speaker 2: of thought that was the plan.
Speaker 4: Let's just keep.
Speaker 2: Aaron out there. Hey, if you need to sit me
Speaker 2: down so you guys got a better chance at a
Speaker 2: higher draft pick. No, no, no, We're going to keep
Speaker 2: you in there, Aaron. We're going to keep you.
Speaker 11: Yes, Paul, there are six teams currently tied at three
Speaker 11: and ten. Are all three and ten that are in
Speaker 11: play for the third pick of the draft Jets right
Speaker 11: now due to strength of schedule, there's a long way
Speaker 11: to go. Have the seventh pick of the draft one
Speaker 11: a couple more losses than they could be in the
Speaker 11: third spot.
Speaker 2: What's the new poll question or do we have poll
Speaker 2: questions that?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we have a few right now. Let's see, Well,
Speaker 4: Paulie said, there's a new poll question. We got two
Speaker 4: would you be in favor of removing the three point line?
Speaker 2: Yes or no?
Speaker 10: Yeay or nay?
Speaker 4: And then also the college team that is most unlikely
Speaker 4: to win the national title most unlikely? We got room
Speaker 4: for four spots.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you put Indiana on there. Yes, Clemson is
Speaker 2: the last team in.
Speaker 7: S m U.
Speaker 4: Where you put Boise State? Well, I know we're jumping
Speaker 4: up to a three seed.
Speaker 2: I know, I know, I know, I know. They did
Speaker 2: go toe to toe with Oregon at Oregon lost by three.
Speaker 4: It jumped over Penn State there, jumped over Arizona State there.
Speaker 11: Example, based off recency, I may throw Ohio State in there.
Speaker 10: Now.
Speaker 11: They didn't play very well last week.
Speaker 4: Most unlikely?
Speaker 2: Mmm, I guess I'd put boise in there. Maybe, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 10: Isn't Penn State your number one seed? Easily?
Speaker 2: I thought they played pretty well, you know in that
Speaker 2: game against Oregon.
Speaker 10: Oh they did, Yeah, but then they'd have to win
Speaker 10: let me count one to three four playoff games.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 10: You trust James Franklin to do that.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I trust too many teams to
Speaker 2: win four games.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, that's a good point though. The teams
Speaker 4: that you got to win four cheapers, creepers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can pull off a surprise. But you know,
Speaker 2: it's just like March Madness. If you got to win
Speaker 2: six games, you're gonna have a close game, You're gonna
Speaker 2: have a controversial game. Probably your coach is gonna win
Speaker 2: you Again, like it just feels like it's formulaic there
Speaker 2: with this. This is new. You're gonna be playing at
Speaker 2: somebody's place, and then you play on a neutral site,
Speaker 2: neutral site, and then the national titles. So trying to
Speaker 2: win four games this time of the year against that competition,
Speaker 2: there's only a couple of coaches you feel like that
Speaker 2: can pull this off. Jason in Atlanta, Hi, Jason, what's
Speaker 2: on your mind today? What's going on?
Speaker 13: DP So glad to be able to talk to you.
Speaker 13: I got the best and worst of the weekend, without
Speaker 13: a doubt. My best, why Georgia's Bulldog's getting into the
Speaker 13: playoffs doing their thing. But my worst, and that's what
Speaker 13: I really want to talk about, is these Atlanta Falcons
Speaker 13: who just can't get it right. In the past forty years,
Speaker 13: only five quarterbacks have had zero touchdowns and eight interceptions
Speaker 13: of a four games. Fan and our boys, Kirk Cousins
Speaker 13: and mister swag for himself is on the list. Y'all
Speaker 13: may not know this, but there's a curse of the Babbino,
Speaker 13: but there's a curse of the church lady in Atlanta,
Speaker 13: when they built the stadiums, they tore down two historical churches.
Speaker 13: They interview the parishioners. He said, this second rate won't
Speaker 13: win anything. Since then we got twenty eight to three.
Speaker 14: Not what.
Speaker 2: I gotta sit Kirk Cousins down. I gotta put Michael
Speaker 2: Pennix to you knew the third in there. I just do.
Speaker 2: Let me see what I got because these are desperate
Speaker 2: times now and Kirk has played his way to the bench.
Speaker 2: Let me see if they believe that Michael Pennix can
Speaker 2: play right now, then put him in. And I know, look,
Speaker 2: you're one game out of first, but what does it
Speaker 2: feel like you're three games out of first. You've just
Speaker 2: been playing terrible and Tampa they grind Baker Mayfield grinds
Speaker 2: gonna make mistakes, but he has he feels like he
Speaker 2: gives you a chance. Kirk Cousins has just played poorly,
Speaker 2: and maybe he needs to sit down and let's just
Speaker 2: see if Pennix has something. Now, let him go through
Speaker 2: the experience of getting ready for an opponent. Hopefully you
Speaker 2: have a home game. What's their schedule, like we have
Speaker 2: the Falcons schedule, because then I could have him if
Speaker 2: he has a home game coming up, Yes, PAULI.
Speaker 11: The Falcons are at the Raiders host the Giants, at
Speaker 11: the Commanders host the Panthers.
Speaker 2: I would have him. Well, do I want him on
Speaker 2: the road against the Raiders? You can win these games,
Speaker 2: But I mean, Kirk Cousins has just played so poorly.
Speaker 2: It's almost like I need to find out if Penix
Speaker 2: can play, and maybe I need to take Kirk and
Speaker 2: put him on the sidelines, because man, that is not good.
Speaker 2: And that all you have to do is have a
Speaker 2: winning record and you're going to win that division. Feels
Speaker 2: like that's it. You get to host a playoff game too, Yes, Todd, do.
Speaker 10: Fans think that's throwing in the towel if they were
Speaker 10: to give up on Cousins with these with that kind
Speaker 10: of schedule.
Speaker 2: Well, he hasn't played well. I don't think it's I
Speaker 2: would make the move because you you're trying to win
Speaker 2: this now. I we're just going to leave him out there.
Speaker 2: If they truly can say he gives us the best
Speaker 2: chance to win, then that says a lot about Michael
Speaker 2: Pennix Junior right now, because I'd love to see him
Speaker 2: in there, just you know, just a whole different look feel.
Speaker 2: How do the players react to this? Is he ready
Speaker 2: for the moment? And maybe he's not, but if he is,
Speaker 2: he might be salvaging the season because right now Kirk
Speaker 2: is throwing it away and they have too much talent
Speaker 2: to not be in the playoffs, Yes, poem.
Speaker 11: Earlier this year, Kirk Cousins signed a four year, one
Speaker 11: hundred and eighty million dollar contract with the Falcons fifty
Speaker 11: million dollars signing bonus one hundred million guaranteed.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah. Kind of stuck with him for a
Speaker 2: little while. But if Michael Pennix is the guy moving forward,
Speaker 2: I mean, they never should have brought Kirk in at
Speaker 2: that money. You just never should have coming off and
Speaker 2: Achilles at that what is he? Thirty five? Thirty six?
Speaker 2: What are you doing? Thirty six? Years of age. Yeah, see, and.
Speaker 4: How many years in a row is it going to
Speaker 4: be that? At the draft they put up that graphic
Speaker 4: of like falcons weapons, and you're like, man, this team
Speaker 4: is stacked. This team is stacked. How are they not better?
Speaker 4: He's been great, but he's been terrible.
Speaker 2: You you can't have a playoff team with a quarterback
Speaker 2: where you go, man, is he great?
Speaker 13: Man?
Speaker 2: Is he terrible? Good? And terrible? Yeah? Like, how many
Speaker 2: playoff caliber teams do you go? That's how I would
Speaker 2: describe my quarterback. I get Jameis Winston and the Browns
Speaker 2: were on the verge of a playoff berth. I could
Speaker 2: say he is unbelievable good and unbelievable bad.
Speaker 4: It's almost like Kirk Cousins could be a case study
Speaker 4: and how likability will get you far. I'm not saying
Speaker 4: that he hasn't had moments where he's been really really good,
Speaker 4: but like you said, he's had moments that have been
Speaker 4: really terrible. And he's the kind of guy that you're like, man,
Speaker 4: I hate to say advancing about him, Yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 4: thirty seven interceptions through week four not his best work,
Speaker 4: not his best word. I'm not gonna say stinks, but
Speaker 4: it's not his best work.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know it's tough, and that's why you know,
Speaker 2: I like people people come on. That doesn't mean I'm
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be biased that I don't look at both
Speaker 2: sides of this. And as much as I like Kirk
Speaker 2: Cousins and we've known him since he was in college,
Speaker 2: he's played horribly. But I don't know if the coaching
Speaker 2: staff says, but he still gives us the best chance
Speaker 2: because you're there in practice and you're watching these players
Speaker 2: in practice. You're watching Michael Pennix and he'll be going
Speaker 2: up against the number one defense. You know they're their defense.
Speaker 2: How does he do? How is he on the scout team?
Speaker 2: That I'd be curious? But and the hard part when
Speaker 2: you bench somebody like that, but see Kirk's personality is
Speaker 2: I think you could bench him and still bring him back.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to be one of those
Speaker 2: where you can't bench Cam Newton. You can't have that
Speaker 2: personality on the sideline. And you're right, you can't Tim Tebow,
Speaker 2: you can't bench t BO have him on this. I
Speaker 2: agree Kirk Cousins. I could say to Kirk, hey, I
Speaker 2: got to sit you down. Got to figure this out.
Speaker 2: We got four games to go.
Speaker 10: Yes, Marv, is it easy to bench him when they're eliminated.
Speaker 2: I don't know when they're going to be eliminated, because
Speaker 2: it's going to come down to the last weekend probably
Speaker 2: in that division.
Speaker 10: Then I think he'd have a major problem with be
Speaker 10: in bench right now since they're in the middle of
Speaker 10: a playoff race. I know he's not playing well, but
Speaker 10: I'm sure as a start quarterback you think to yourself, look,
Speaker 10: I can pull myself together and strengthen, you know, straight
Speaker 10: along a couple of games.
Speaker 2: No, because I have to be the one thinking, not you.
Speaker 2: There's no quarterbacks going to go you know what, I
Speaker 2: think it's time to take me out. Every quarterback goes I,
Speaker 2: Hey this new game. Man. Hey I'm feeling a lot better. Hey,
Speaker 2: I'm seeing the game a little bit. No, I have
Speaker 2: to help you understand that maybe you need to sit down.
Speaker 2: We need to find out if Michael Pennix can do
Speaker 2: anything give us a boost here, and maybe he can't.
Speaker 2: That would be that would be a tough conversation for
Speaker 2: a coach to have with his quarterback. But with Kirk,
Speaker 2: I feel like you could say to him exactly what
Speaker 2: I just said. Yeah, Mark, but if.
Speaker 10: You're Raheem the coach of the Falcons, are you really
Speaker 10: willing to put your season in the hands of the
Speaker 10: quarterback that's a rookie.
Speaker 2: Well, we've seen this with other teams in the NFL.
Speaker 10: In the middle of a playoff. Race well, race.
Speaker 2: Ish, yes, racey. I don't think we need to say
Speaker 2: race is right, races so so so race to what
Speaker 2: Michelle Pffer movies.
Speaker 14: I'm jumping three? Yeah, three point shot, get rid of
Speaker 14: the three. I would just love to have one week
Speaker 14: or the NBA Cup. No three point shot? NBA Cup?
Speaker 2: Who's with me? Anybody? Paulie Todd? No, okay, you guys
Speaker 2: are three point apologists there.
Speaker 10: I hate how many they take, but no, I gotta
Speaker 10: keep the three point line.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean sometimes it is hard to watch
Speaker 4: when it's like, you know, you can go back and
Speaker 4: forth for ninety seconds with seven missed shots and they're
Speaker 4: all from three, and you're like, all right, this isn't
Speaker 4: fun to watch.
Speaker 2: I think there's certain parts of the court that if
Speaker 2: you were looking to see wear and tearror, there's certain
Speaker 2: parts that are never used on an NBA court. It
Speaker 2: feels like like twelve feet away from the basket on
Speaker 2: the left or right handed side. They're not using that, yes.
Speaker 10: Marm Yeah, So like DeMar Deroz is the only person
Speaker 10: that shoots right here. Everyone else you see people giving
Speaker 10: up layups and running to the three point line. That's
Speaker 10: the part that gets me. It's not what it's like
Speaker 10: Steph or Buddy Healed or one of these great shooters.
Speaker 9: It's shooter.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's Aaron Gordon running to the three point line.
Speaker 10: I'm like, no, no, no, that's not you. That's not
Speaker 10: your game.
Speaker 2: Not everybody is meant to shoot three pointers. And yes,
Speaker 2: is it excitement that it can bring you back from
Speaker 2: a large deficit. It is. How did you get so
Speaker 2: far behind to begin with? Probably because you took threes
Speaker 2: and missed threes. It's exciting.
Speaker 10: It was.
Speaker 2: It's meant to be sort of a you'd only take
Speaker 2: a couple of them a game when it first started.
Speaker 2: Some of the greatest shooters in history, they were only
Speaker 2: taking a couple.
Speaker 10: Yes, Marv Paula just mentioned Larry Bird. I was just
Speaker 10: going to say his name. Larry Bird would have averaged
Speaker 10: thirty six thirty seven points a game, had he a
Speaker 10: shot seven three pointers a game. Reggie Miller also those
Speaker 10: guys were shooting four or five three pointers a game
Speaker 10: at best at best, and Larry Bird was shooting to
Speaker 10: a game.
Speaker 2: Maybe I would just love to I would love for
Speaker 2: people to see the game how it was, where everybody
Speaker 2: there's movement and there's creativity. It's just not look at
Speaker 2: a shot shart. It's just we're gonna stand out here.
Speaker 2: You either have that or you have layups or dunks.
Speaker 2: There's nothing in between. There's really not a lot of movement.
Speaker 2: And I think that everybody feels like they're supposed to
Speaker 2: be shooting threes. That's the problem I have. I under
Speaker 2: stand that it can provide the home run ball. I
Speaker 2: go back to the ABA when I watched it, when
Speaker 2: they first had the three point shot, the red, white
Speaker 2: and blue basketball. I'm like, Wow, that'll be great at
Speaker 2: the end of the game.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Seen.
Speaker 4: I mean, I think Yukon is probably the best example
Speaker 4: of movement and like the modern game right and how
Speaker 4: it can work. Yeah, but I don't miss the big
Speaker 4: man back to the basket, throw it down, low, pump,
Speaker 4: fake two points down the other way.
Speaker 2: I don't miss that well, that wasn't That wasn't everything
Speaker 2: with basketball.
Speaker 4: I mean, it wasn't everything.
Speaker 2: But you're right. I mean the big man is now
Speaker 2: on the perimeter. But I would I would love to
Speaker 2: see just movement, just back door cuts, you know. And
Speaker 2: granted you might say, really you want to see a
Speaker 2: back door cut. The beauty of basketball was there was
Speaker 2: sort of this sympathy to it to get way, way
Speaker 2: too deep, but there was movement if it was like
Speaker 2: every body had a purpose, they knew what the purpose was,
Speaker 2: and it felt like there was actual teamwork. How about
Speaker 2: that team work?
Speaker 4: Yes, like Steph Curry is he kind of drives me nuts,
Speaker 4: but he's one of the most exciting players we've had
Speaker 4: in recent memory. I don't want to remove that from
Speaker 4: the game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's only Steph Curry.
Speaker 4: Dame Dame's Dame hits a lot of threes. There's dudes
Speaker 4: that could shoot. I don't want to remove that.
Speaker 2: Maybe if you do it where it's blinking, like the
Speaker 2: blinking three point line hotspots.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, sorry, light wasn't blinking. No, no, But but.
Speaker 2: Let's say you had a blinking three point line and
Speaker 2: then if it if it went off, then it's a
Speaker 2: it's a two. But if you got it and then
Speaker 2: you push and then you're like, oh great, yes, mar.
Speaker 10: And the thing. And also they're paying guys who are
Speaker 10: three and D guys, not three you know, not defense
Speaker 10: range guys. So if you're going, hey, you can pay
Speaker 10: me one hundred million dollars just to shoot four to
Speaker 10: three is a game and play relatively good defense.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do that, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 11: I threw an idea maybe last year, what if NBA
Speaker 11: teams were allowed twenty three point attempts per game? Use
Speaker 11: them when you like your captaint twenty It's very hokey,
Speaker 11: but it fixes the problem.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, Todd, Let's reach out for the commissioner.
Speaker 2: He usually comes on once a year, and then I
Speaker 2: help him with new rule changes so that he knows
Speaker 2: that he's ready for kind of a checkup, like a
Speaker 2: DP show checkup.
Speaker 10: Invitation has been made.
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, And I'll take time out for you know,
Speaker 2: with my busy day to help the commissioner and he
Speaker 2: can take all the credit. All right, let me take
Speaker 2: a break. Last call for phone calls. What we learned,

Speaker 2: Butch in North Carolina, Hi, Butch, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 7: Thank you very much for taking my call. Best of
Speaker 7: the day was the Pittsburgh Steelers. And the worst was
Speaker 7: as much as I admire Gary Danielson and Brad Nessler,
Speaker 7: the coverage they did of the.
Speaker 2: Oregon and uh Penn State.
Speaker 7: Penn State was horrible. I mean, they were so biased
Speaker 7: towards Penn State. And that's probably because Oregon is new
Speaker 7: to the Big Ten. But anyway, just got on my
Speaker 7: nerves bad.
Speaker 10: Thank you.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if there was any preferential treatment there,
Speaker 2: consciously or subconsciously. John in Pennsylvania, Good morning, John.
Speaker 7: Hey guys, what's up? Quick?
Speaker 8: Six and I'll be real quick then I'll get to
Speaker 8: my point. Best Rudolph Randire on Friday Night. I'll love
Speaker 8: it every year. And the worst was the Subaru took
Speaker 8: the Radiator gwent compleuely on me. Listen, you were talking
Speaker 8: about hot teachers, and imagine this, My best friend in
Speaker 8: high school.
Speaker 2: His dad was divorced.
Speaker 8: A very handsome, successful man ended up dating we'll call
Speaker 8: her miss p the Smogan. Imagine like a Marissa Tome type. Yeah,
Speaker 8: his dad ended up dating her, and every Saturday was
Speaker 8: a party at his house. The kid became so popular.
Speaker 8: My buddy was so popular, with questions like does she
Speaker 8: wear pajamas? Does she take showers?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: All right, John, thank you, thank you. I think I
Speaker 2: found somebody who could fill in for you, Todd John
Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 10: I saw some similarities there.
Speaker 2: The subject matter this day in sports history, Pauline I
Speaker 2: got a couple of nineteen seventy eight, the first game
Speaker 2: of the Women's Pro Basketball League the WBL played between
Speaker 2: the Chicago Hustle and the Milwaukee Doze the WBL nineteen
Speaker 2: seventy eight.
Speaker 11: Nineteen eighty four, Eric Dickerson of the Rams became only
Speaker 11: the second running back in history to run for more
Speaker 11: than two thousand yards in a season. O. J. Simpson
Speaker 11: was the first.
Speaker 2: Okay by the Way. On this day. In twenty twenty three,
Speaker 2: shohe O Tani signed a ten year, seven hundred million
Speaker 2: dollar contract. Oh Baker Mayfield on this day won the
Speaker 2: Heisman Trophy remember when Notre Dame. It was on this
Speaker 2: day in two thousand and one Notre Dame replaced I
Speaker 2: hired Georgia o' leary to replace Bob Davey as the
Speaker 2: head coach. O'Leary lasted five days before they found out
Speaker 2: that he had multiple inaccuracies on his resume and led
Speaker 2: to his resignation. Wow, was that a big deal. At
Speaker 2: the time he lied on his resume, That's when it
Speaker 2: felt like every coach or assistant coach in America. I
Speaker 2: went to his resume just to make sure that were
Speaker 2: you really the offensive coordinator? I was the tight ends coach.
Speaker 2: You better change that. But they got him, poor Georgia O'Leary.
Speaker 2: Then he went to Central Florida. Is that right after that? Yeah,
Speaker 2: Georgia O'Leary was going to be you were going to
Speaker 2: be the coach of Notre Dad. What did he lie
Speaker 2: about and how would that? I guess they're saying, well,
Speaker 2: if you lied on your resume, whatever that would mean?
Speaker 11: Yeah, Pauling, I think he lied something about playing fullback
Speaker 11: for New Hampshire or something weird or there. He was
Speaker 11: a graduate assistant somewhere. But your name's O'Leary and you're
Speaker 11: gonna be the Notre Dame head coach. It's destiny and
Speaker 11: he blew it.
Speaker 2: But he was still accomplished enough to get the job.
Speaker 2: And if he fudged on, okay, anybody fudged on their
Speaker 2: resume in here, raise your hand.
Speaker 4: Seton the closest I get to fudging my resume is
Speaker 4: that I put for college. I put like West Virginia
Speaker 4: University in nineteen ninety six. Now most people assume that's
Speaker 4: the year I graduated. That happens to be the one
Speaker 4: year I attended college. Now, that's not fudging my resume.
Speaker 4: Is it being cute?
Speaker 10: Maybe?
Speaker 2: Maybe deceptive? That's what we learned. Brought to you by
