Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour in this Monday, great calls, great topics,
Speaker 1: great guest Steve Young, He's always awesome.
Speaker 2: Ryan Clark, the Mothership, former defensive act with the Steelers,
Speaker 2: won a Super Bowl, but he said his son playing
Speaker 2: in tonight's National title game might be the biggest achievement
Speaker 2: of his life's biggest sporting achievement. But his son, Jordan,
Speaker 2: is a safety for Notre Dame. Notre Dame is an
Speaker 2: eight and a half point depending on where you are,
Speaker 2: eight and a half point underdog for tonight's game eight seven,
Speaker 2: seven to three. DP Show email address dpat Danpatrick dot com,
Speaker 2: Twitter handle the DP Show. Good morning. If you're watching
Speaker 2: on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app and our
Speaker 2: radio affiliates around the country. What's interesting sometimes, and this
Speaker 2: happened to the Lions last year. If I would have
Speaker 2: said to Lions fans, hey, you're going to go to
Speaker 2: the NFC Title Game, but you're going to lose after
Speaker 2: being up double digits, you would have signed up for
Speaker 2: it at the beginning of the year. So let's say
Speaker 2: I say it said to a commander's fan like James
Speaker 2: in Virginia. Hey, rookie quarterback, you know Dan Quinn coming
Speaker 2: in Cliff Kingsbury. You know, got some draft picks, you
Speaker 2: got money, salary cap money might not happen this next year.
Speaker 2: But if I said, what if you went to the
Speaker 2: NFC title game and you didn't win, but you got
Speaker 2: to the title game, See, you'd sign up for that.
Speaker 2: But see now it gets from the go this year
Speaker 2: is unbelievable to now, if we don't, this is going
Speaker 2: to hurt like Lions fans last year. Great story and
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden it's over. And it doesn't
Speaker 2: mean the Commanders can't win this game, because I think
Speaker 2: they can win this game. I don't know if Jalen
Speaker 2: Hurts is going to be healthy, who knows. But that's
Speaker 2: why they played the game. And that's why nobody gave
Speaker 2: Washington a chance against Detroit. But you have this wonderment
Speaker 2: of gosh, it'd be great to make the playoffs, Hey,
Speaker 2: to have a winning record. Okay, we got those. Hey
Speaker 2: that Jade Daniels is Rookie of the Year, all right,
Speaker 2: you got that. Hey, you're gonna win a playoff game?
Speaker 2: All that would be unbelievable. Hey, you're going to win
Speaker 2: another playoff game. Wait, you win the NFC title game, Yes,
Speaker 2: and then you lose. Now, not that I'm wishing for that,
Speaker 2: because Washington is a great store, but I'm just I'm
Speaker 2: just giving you the dynamic of what it's like to
Speaker 2: be a fan when you don't have real hope and
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden you start to accumulate hope,
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, hope becomes expectation. And
Speaker 2: this is a franchise that hasn't been in an NFC
Speaker 2: title game, probably in twenty years, two thousand and five.
Speaker 3: I got it at thirty five years, thirty four years,
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety one for the Redskins.
Speaker 2: Dang, dang, that's a long time. That's building up a
Speaker 2: lot of hope, and then there's expectations, and that's what's
Speaker 2: you know, Eagle fans expect to win a Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Buffalo they probably hoping to win a super Bowl, but
Speaker 2: they're here in the AFC Title game. Kansas City expects
Speaker 2: to win a super Bowl. Their fan base, Washington, You're
Speaker 2: moving past hope and now it's expectations. Now it's like, God,
Speaker 2: we gotta win. We can win. Why can't we win.
Speaker 2: I'm just bracing you because we saw this and heard
Speaker 2: this from Detroit fans last year. You got to that
Speaker 2: moment you were going to go to the super Bowl.
Speaker 2: And I never thought I would say those words in
Speaker 2: my lifetime as a broadcaster. The Detroit Lions are going
Speaker 2: to the super Bowl. This was the year. But the
Speaker 2: window of opportunity now, I know they got everybody signed up.
Speaker 2: They're going to lose their coordinators, but this team should
Speaker 2: be a formidable team next year. But that's how quickly
Speaker 2: it happens. Like San Francisco. What is San Francisco's window now?
Speaker 2: Not very good. Washington has I think eight draft picks
Speaker 2: coming up, and I think they have about ninety million
Speaker 2: dollars in salary cap room. So if you're the commanders,
Speaker 2: you might attract some people, especially if you're a wide receiver.
Speaker 2: You may want to play with Jaydan Daniels. That's what happens,
Speaker 2: you know, where you want to be part of something
Speaker 2: that's building, and Washington has built something and a lot
Speaker 2: quicker than I thought. You know, I thought the scaffolding
Speaker 2: would be up for a little while longer, but they're
Speaker 2: taking that down. And I give credit, you know, a
Speaker 2: lot of credit to go around, but it starts with
Speaker 2: Jayden Daniels. Because you know, I can have a great coach,
Speaker 2: I can have great coordinators, I gotta have a great quarterback.
Speaker 2: He's the one who gives you a hope. He's the
Speaker 2: one that gives you expectations. Setan what's the poll question
Speaker 2: for the final hour? Well, we could populate a who
Speaker 2: had the worst weekend? Okay, we've been kind of.
Speaker 4: Kicking around a bunch of I think we take Mark
Speaker 4: Andrews off. Yeah, yeah, that's yes, Yeah.
Speaker 2: That's not great.
Speaker 4: No, Lamar Jackson didn't have a great weekend, not in
Speaker 4: that he played poorly necessarily, but I feel like he
Speaker 4: needs that that win.
Speaker 2: He does. And when you factor this stat here, here's
Speaker 2: one for you. Stat of the day, brought to you
Speaker 2: by Panini America. Lamar Jackson has thrown an interception and
Speaker 2: lost to fumble four times in one one hundred and
Speaker 2: three career regular season games. He has thrown an interception
Speaker 2: and lost to fumble four times in eight career playoff games.
Speaker 5: Stat of the day, start of the day, stat of
Speaker 5: the day, start of the day, STATU to day start
Speaker 5: to day, start of to.
Speaker 6: Day, start.
Speaker 2: This is the first time the four remaining teams have
Speaker 2: combined for zero turnovers heading into the conference championship games.
Speaker 2: And we can talk about philosophy running the football. Derrick
Speaker 2: Henry is the numbers bear it out, and he's great
Speaker 2: in the second half. And when they started, Buffalo did
Speaker 2: a really good job. They didn't let him get more
Speaker 2: than two three yards of carry. I just don't and
Speaker 2: I said this, I don't want them to get away
Speaker 2: from what they do well. And they should have been
Speaker 2: able to run the football. I thought more often. I
Speaker 2: thought Derrick Henry should have gotten more than sixteen carries.
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson had six carries. I thought they were going
Speaker 2: to get a dose of pick your poison. Here's your
Speaker 2: two headed monster. Try to stop us. That's what I thought.
Speaker 2: But give credit Buffalo's defense, Ben, but don't break Lucas
Speaker 2: and Texas. Hi, Luke, what do you have for me today, Bud?
Speaker 7: Hey to a good morning.
Speaker 2: Good morning.
Speaker 8: Look, I'm a grieving Texans fan, so I might be
Speaker 8: a little all over the place, but a couple things
Speaker 8: stick out in what happened on Saturday. First off, Sacred
Speaker 8: Saturday for Texans playoff games. That's that's our day. Yes,
Speaker 8: it's frustrating because for the first three quarters of the game,
Speaker 8: I think pretty much anyone passing the eye test, the
Speaker 8: Texans outplayed the Chiefs, and so in a game that
Speaker 8: was close, it feels like, even if the referees commit,
Speaker 8: you know, added ten percent or something, that ten percent
Speaker 8: felt decisive. And what I think is especially frustrating for
Speaker 8: Texans fans is this kind of carries over from the
Speaker 8: illegal hit that Al Shaier had a few weeks ago
Speaker 8: against Trevor Lawrence. Do you remember even then there was
Speaker 8: frustrated about how the quarterback kind of slid late. It
Speaker 8: feels like these quarterbacks are taking advantage of the rules,
Speaker 8: and with Pat Mahomes, it feels like they're making a
Speaker 8: mockery of it. The flopping, the waiting to you know,
Speaker 8: step out of bound. It feels like they're taking the
Speaker 8: rules and running with it, almost like you know, like
Speaker 8: when a when a little you know, brother or big
Speaker 8: brother you know, knows that you're already in trouble, and
Speaker 8: so they act even a little bit more outlandish because
Speaker 8: they know that you know, they can you know, they
Speaker 8: can't be touched, and you're already in trouble. That's what
Speaker 8: really contributes to this frustration. It's super frustrating. The Texans
Speaker 8: own some stuff with the special teams and whatnot, but
Speaker 8: man that there has to be continuing conversation about how
Speaker 8: there's abuse of the rules around the quarterback.
Speaker 2: I agree with you, Lucas, and I know a lot
Speaker 2: of people agree with you. I don't have any bias
Speaker 2: towards any team, couldn't, could not care less. I just
Speaker 2: want to see a great mat show. I can tell you,
Speaker 2: in my opinion, the NFL is not going out of
Speaker 2: its way to help Patrick Mahomes in the Chiefs, just not.
Speaker 2: Why would they quarterbacks? Yes, do they need to regulate
Speaker 2: this better. Absolutely, But the reason why Patrick Mahomes stands
Speaker 2: out is because he's always on TV in these games.
Speaker 2: He's not playing at one o'clock. He's playing in Marque games.
Speaker 2: So you see him more than any other quarterback, and
Speaker 2: he's winning more than any other quarterback, and he's probably
Speaker 2: getting calls, in your opinion, more than any other quarterback.
Speaker 2: But you're not watching all the other games. You're not
Speaker 2: watching every Baker Mayfield game, you're not watching even Josh
Speaker 2: Allen all of his game. You're watching Mahomes because they're
Speaker 2: always on and they're always that marquee game. But do
Speaker 2: I think he gets preferential treatment? I don't. I think quarterback.
Speaker 2: And that's the problem with this rule. And if you're
Speaker 2: going to flaunt it at some point, if I'm a
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator, I say we'll eat the penalty, I'll eat
Speaker 2: the fine. Go hit him, go hit him. I would
Speaker 2: absolutely do that, Yes, Todd, When.
Speaker 9: We say this preferential treatment of quarterbacks, is there a
Speaker 9: whether it's said or not, any kind of directive. Here's
Speaker 9: a list of the so called the leak players and
Speaker 9: if you're going to air we should err on the
Speaker 9: side of caution with.
Speaker 2: How do you think that would go over if an
Speaker 2: internal memo, it's.
Speaker 10: Not something you could put in writing where it could
Speaker 10: be traced.
Speaker 9: Well, what if there's a winking or nod somewhere like
Speaker 9: the following quarterbacks?
Speaker 6: If you're on the fence for.
Speaker 2: The no no no, no, no no no. We do
Speaker 2: this with the NBA. I mean, I've had conversations where
Speaker 2: David Stern is livid, you know, MFin and he he,
Speaker 2: I was in his office and he you know, these
Speaker 2: complaints came in that Jordan was getting calls and he
Speaker 2: just could. He was apoplectic. He goes, you know, this
Speaker 2: league can't be built on something like that. I get
Speaker 2: that everybody wanted to see Michael Jordan and wanted to
Speaker 2: see him win, even if he was playing against your team.
Speaker 2: You're like, damn, they're exciting, we want to see them.
Speaker 2: That's not the case with the Kansas City Chiefs. That
Speaker 2: wasn't the case with the Patriots. People at some point go, oh,
Speaker 2: not them again. No one ever did that with the Bulls. Truly,
Speaker 2: one of the most remarkable teams as far as their
Speaker 2: popularity that I've ever been around. No one got tired
Speaker 2: of them. They were fascinating. You were watching something special,
Speaker 2: Kan City. You're watching something special. You might be watching
Speaker 2: the second greatest coach of all time, maybe turn out
Speaker 2: to be the greatest quarterback of all time, and maybe
Speaker 2: the best tight end of all time. You're seeing all
Speaker 2: that right now. But I don't think people go, h
Speaker 2: can't wait to see the Chiefs. So I don't think
Speaker 2: that there's some kind of initiative that they're going, hey, whatever,
Speaker 2: these calls happen in a split second. It's not like
Speaker 2: you can go wow, it looks like he's gonna slide.
Speaker 2: I better get ready to call roughing the You can't
Speaker 2: it's so quick. Should they review these? Okay? But then
Speaker 2: once again, they don't want to be bogged down by review.
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any initiative, you know, the agenda
Speaker 2: of hey, who do we got here? Are they going
Speaker 2: to protect Jayden Daniels? Why not? You're gonna protect Jalen
Speaker 2: Hurts and if Josh Allen. I just don't think they
Speaker 2: think that way. I think they look at the position.
Speaker 2: I don't think they look at the player necessarily. Yes,
Speaker 2: it does seem though, like the calls do favor some
Speaker 2: players and not others. Patrick Mahomes. I don't know what
Speaker 2: the percentage of roughing the.
Speaker 4: Passer calls are, say right, but there was a play
Speaker 4: yesterday when Lamar Jackson was I don't know, ten feet
Speaker 4: out of bounds.
Speaker 2: And oh yeah, absolutely should have been called.
Speaker 4: And we're like, well, you know, he started the tackle,
Speaker 4: and by starting the tackle it means he was holding
Speaker 4: onto his shirt and then tackle him later. I mean,
Speaker 4: that's Patrick Mahomes. That player would have been thrown out
Speaker 4: of the game if he did that to Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 4: He might have been executed. Yeah, possibly right there like
Speaker 4: a horse at the race track.
Speaker 2: But if PAULI, if we can find out the number
Speaker 2: of times that Patrick Mahomes, you know, roughing the passer.
Speaker 2: Do you have those numbers?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I looked it up about a half hour ago.
Speaker 3: There's a couple of different metrics. But this year Patrick
Speaker 3: Mahomes defensives were called six times for roughing the passer
Speaker 3: against him. That's the most in the league. Second is
Speaker 3: Josh Allen, third is Jared Goff, fourth is Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 3: But number one in the league Patrick Mahomes. If you
Speaker 3: look back at it, though, it's almost like the league
Speaker 3: doesn't have to have an agenda to tell people to
Speaker 3: protect the quarterbacks just every third year. I look back
Speaker 3: over the past fifteen years, there's been five new rules
Speaker 3: to protect the quarterbacks. Going to the legs, going to
Speaker 3: the head, right when the quarterback is out of the
Speaker 3: pocket on an interception. They protect him from getting hit.
Speaker 3: The slide rule, you can't hit him on the slide.
Speaker 3: That was three years ago. So in the past twelve years,
Speaker 3: five different new rules to protect the quarterback.
Speaker 2: What if you just said to the quarterbacks when you
Speaker 2: leave the pocket, you're running back, you protect yourself. They
Speaker 2: would certainly find a better way to protect themselves. But
Speaker 2: do they take advantage of this? Do they slide late?
Speaker 2: Do they get out of bounds late? Do they try
Speaker 2: to get an extra?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 2: They do? They faunted. Yeah.
Speaker 4: See, I think that's part of the problem actually, is
Speaker 4: that the officials do treat some quarterbacks like their runners
Speaker 4: when they leave the pocket, and other quarterbacks they don't.
Speaker 4: They treat them like quarterbacks.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I remember when I saw Cam Newton play in
Speaker 2: Denver years ago. Denver just beat the hell out of him.
Speaker 2: I mean he was not a quarterback when he was
Speaker 2: running the ball. I mean, they did not protect him.
Speaker 2: I do think that there's certain quarterbacks that probably get
Speaker 2: the maybe the benefit of the doubts sometimes, But I
Speaker 2: don't think there's a league wide agenda that goes, who
Speaker 2: do we have today? You got Tom Brady and youve
Speaker 2: got Tom Brady against Cade McNown all right, make sure
Speaker 2: we take care of Tommy. Okay, all right, ready break, Yes, tod.
Speaker 9: But even if it's not a directive, don't you think
Speaker 9: I would think there's pressure on the refs to get
Speaker 9: it right, especially when it comes to an elite quarterback.
Speaker 9: If there's some kind of egregious call and they don't
Speaker 9: throw the flag and it involves someone like Patrick Mahomes, Like.
Speaker 10: Are they going to get a talking to that I
Speaker 10: can be able to do a playoff the game?
Speaker 2: What is their benefit? As Steve Young said, as an official,
Speaker 2: you're graded if you miss the call once again. You're
Speaker 2: trying to get a high enough grade to do playoff
Speaker 2: games to make more money and maybe you get to
Speaker 2: do a Super Bowl. Why would you allow yourself to
Speaker 2: maybe be downgraded because you were trying to protect Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2: It doesn't make any sense. Do I think they go
Speaker 2: out of their way to overly protect the quarterbacks? They do, absolutely,
Speaker 2: But I don't think there's an agenda. Yeah. See, I would.
Speaker 4: Think that those refs that you're talking about are more
Speaker 4: likely to get a good grade if they protect Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 4: I think that's exactly they're being graded on this. So yeah,
Speaker 4: let me make sure.
Speaker 2: That if they did it, if they called it right,
Speaker 2: the call that the non call with Lamar Jackson, I
Speaker 2: would think that would downgrade somebody. The two players crashing
Speaker 2: into each other and not crashing into Mahomes. I would
Speaker 2: think you miss that call. Will Anderson Junior the third
Speaker 2: the helmet to helmet or face mask to face mask?
Speaker 2: Would I've called it? No, But I grew up in
Speaker 2: a different time. When you know you were allowed to
Speaker 2: play football. It's called tackle football. All right, Let me
Speaker 2: take a break. More phone calls coming up. When we
Speaker 2: come back, we will play fill in the blank after this.

Speaker 2: as well. Let me get to Ryan in California. First,
Speaker 2: Hi Ryan, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 7: Hey?
Speaker 11: Dan, thanks for taking my call. So I've got a
Speaker 11: best of the weekend slash stat of the day. So
Speaker 11: with the Commander's winning, they are no longer the team
Speaker 11: with the longest rout in the NFC to appear in
Speaker 11: a conference championship game. That team is now none other
Speaker 11: than Jerry Jones's Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 12: Oh what a glorious day that is. I wonder if
Speaker 12: if this ego is so big, he probably doesn't even
Speaker 12: know that they are the team with the longest drought.
Speaker 2: Now, well, thank you, Ryan, Ryan is very very entertained
Speaker 2: by Ryan.
Speaker 3: Kind of great.
Speaker 2: How do you think Jerry Jones felt watching the NFC
Speaker 2: title game or the playoff games? Oh, there's another cutaway
Speaker 2: of Dan Quinn on the sidelines. Oh, that's right, he
Speaker 2: was with us. There's Kellen Moore dialing something up for
Speaker 2: that offense with Philadelah, that's why he was with us.
Speaker 2: Here Saquon Barclay. Oh it's now with the Eagles, even
Speaker 2: Derrick Henry watching him. You're going you know what, I
Speaker 2: was happy with the running backs that we got.
Speaker 4: Just wouldn't have been a good feite of course, Yes, Paul,
Speaker 4: I went back.
Speaker 3: And looked at the reviews when the Commanders hired Dan
Speaker 3: Quinn last year. Uninspired was the big word. Retread was
Speaker 3: the other word. Not a lot of kudos there. No,
Speaker 3: uh isn't wrong necessarily.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I might have been one of those people like, okay,
Speaker 2: all right, you got to get somebody to coach this
Speaker 2: thing feels like more Cliff Kingsbury gets a little more
Speaker 2: of that crass.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what he does. He had a great year,
Speaker 4: Yes he did. Yes, he did. Brought back to life, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 13: Just don't go to twenty eight three because Cliff, you're
Speaker 13: gonna get all the blaming you guys.
Speaker 2: Not dann Quinn, Craig and Fort Wayne and then we'll
Speaker 2: play Phil in the blank Pilay, good morning, Hey Craig.
Speaker 7: Hey, it's minus twenty two and Fort Wayne. So I'm
Speaker 7: very happy to be off school and fuck you guys today.
Speaker 7: Normally I don't get to listen to you, so better
Speaker 7: resume Mike Tomlin in the playoffs, John Harball in the playoffs.
Speaker 7: And why does Mike Tomlin always come under scrutiny. I'm
Speaker 7: a Browns fan.
Speaker 2: I would kick either, yeah, but why.
Speaker 7: Did they both get a free pass?
Speaker 2: I have said that, said that a couple of times
Speaker 2: during season, back probably last month, that we focus on
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in a long time,
Speaker 2: and I said, well, John Harball hasn't either, But Harball
Speaker 2: did win a playoff game this year, and Mike Tomlin
Speaker 2: bowed out again. I think there's so much focus on
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin. All he does is win. We don't talk
Speaker 2: about John Harball. I don't know how many winning seasons
Speaker 2: John Harball's had, but it's a constant that you hear, Hey,
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin guaranteed winning record every year, Okay, And then
Speaker 2: I say the following, what's he doing the playoffs? I
Speaker 2: don't want to just have a winning record. And it's
Speaker 2: nice to make the playoffs. It's really nice to win
Speaker 2: a playoff game or two and then they are not threatening, Yeah, PAULI.
Speaker 3: John Harbaugh's made the playoffs with the Ravens twelve out
Speaker 3: of seventeen seasons, right.
Speaker 2: So he doesn't give you that winning record every year
Speaker 2: like Mike Tomlin does. To have a Super Bowl. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna guess both are Hall of Fame coaches. Does that
Speaker 2: sound right? Tomlin, I think is going to get in.
Speaker 2: It's Harball getting in, Mike McCarthy getting in, Sean Payton
Speaker 2: getting in. Yeah, they all kind of have that same resume,
Speaker 2: don't think.
Speaker 13: Yes, Mark, I feel like the longevity with one franchise
Speaker 13: really helps you. With John Harball's case and Tomlin Anton, well,
Speaker 13: I think Tomlin's a no brainer because he won early.
Speaker 6: Okay, But in John Harball's case.
Speaker 2: Yes for sure. Okay, all right, time to play fill
Speaker 2: in the blank. So I will give you a sentence,
Speaker 2: but you have to fill in the blank word and
Speaker 2: let's try to go one word. If we can't, tod,
Speaker 2: I'll start with you. Man Blank had that game, Little Mean,
Speaker 2: But Man Andrews had that game. Okay, Mark Andrews had
Speaker 2: that game, Seaton, Man Blank had that game. The Rams.
Speaker 2: The Rams that game.
Speaker 4: I was positive they were driving down the field winning
Speaker 4: the game by a point.
Speaker 2: Positive. Yeah, it was too. I was shocked at the
Speaker 2: ending of you could see where those defensive players, those
Speaker 2: defensive backs on the Eagles were like, oh boy, Stafford's
Speaker 2: gonna you know, yeah, he makes you nervous. As far
Speaker 2: as pinpoint passing, as sure a thing as I could
Speaker 2: possibly think of, that was gonna happen. Marvin Man Blank
Speaker 2: had that game.
Speaker 6: Man, the Lions had that game and then the game started.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, PAULI.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with the Ravens.
Speaker 10: Man.
Speaker 3: Did the Ravens have that game? When that third quarter
Speaker 3: did that long drive with a lot of Derrick Henry,
Speaker 3: I'm like, ah, they're settling down, they got it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would go with man. The Rams had that game.
Speaker 2: I even I called my wife in you know, she's
Speaker 2: not even watching, and they said, hey, come on in,
Speaker 2: watch this and she goes, oh, it's snowing. I said, yeah,
Speaker 2: I know, don't ask questions, just watch the Rams gonna
Speaker 2: win this. And then all of a sudden they didn't win it,

Speaker 10: Lions fan? Yeah, I might try to make the Lions,
Speaker 10: but it's happy. I'm just calling it out as I

Speaker 2: Mm hmcific.
Speaker 4: Notre Dame will play tonight. Correct my high likelihood of that.
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm gonna win that one.
Speaker 2: I likely. Here's the last one. Ryan Day's beard is blank.
Speaker 3: Yes, I'd like to go first because I track this daily. Unsettling.
Speaker 3: It unsettles me. His beard.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of things aesthetically that bother Paulie. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he tends to notice things that no one else does
Speaker 2: or they bother him. And usually a couple of Mondays
Speaker 2: each year he'll come in and talk about Ryan Day's
Speaker 2: beard and h and I'm like, okay, I mean all right.
Speaker 2: Like the Michigan Ohio State game, Pauli was focused on
Speaker 2: Ryan Day's beard.
Speaker 3: Yes, well, first round of the playoffs, he hadn't tended
Speaker 3: to his beard yet, trying to be nice. It was
Speaker 3: a little salt and pepper and looked more natural. He's
Speaker 3: a forty five year old man with a dark beard,
Speaker 3: stunningly dark.
Speaker 2: Yes, he shouldn't be afraid to look older.
Speaker 3: Marcus Freeman is five or six years younger and has
Speaker 3: a salt and pepper beard.
Speaker 2: Todd Ryan Day's beard, is she lacking integrity? Satan's kind
Speaker 2: of weird. It's kind of weird. Oh oh, that's kind
Speaker 2: of I thought he's with saying Todd was kind of weird.
Speaker 2: That goes without saying weirder. Ryan Day's beard, Todd Fritz
Speaker 2: Fritzie Marvin. Ryan Day's beard is just for men, just
Speaker 2: for him. Ryan Dave's beard is spotty, spotty. And that's it.
Speaker 2: We've done it. PAULI comes up with the topics and
Speaker 2: then I'm looking down and I go Ryan Dave's beard.
Speaker 2: I said, all right, sure, just let it go. We'll
Speaker 2: be watching that. We'll watch for that tonight, Ryan Dave's beard.
Speaker 2: Didn't they have the coaches interview the coaches.
Speaker 3: It was Chris Bouler sitting down with both head coaches,
Speaker 3: and it's just a series of platitudes.
Speaker 2: It's I don't need it, I don't I mean if
Speaker 2: James Franklin was interviewing Marcus Freeman, then that might be entertaining.
Speaker 2: And this isn't Chris's fault, but you got him there,
Speaker 2: and they're gonna say, hey boy, but you guy, and
Speaker 2: they but yeah, you gut don't care, don't care? Uh
Speaker 2: Tanner in Louisiana High Tanner, what's on your mind?
Speaker 7: Hey man?
Speaker 2: How you doing good?
Speaker 14: But hey so, I just wanted to completely agree of
Speaker 14: lifelong Bears fan, what are they doing at the head
Speaker 14: coach position? Do you have thirteen candidates going back all
Speaker 14: the way to when Lovie Smith got fired. We're seventy
Speaker 14: and one hundred or something like that, losing seasons all
Speaker 14: of round, except for the one season where Matt Naggie
Speaker 14: took us to the playoffs.
Speaker 8: And I shouldn't even say that.
Speaker 14: That wasn't Matt Maggie's team. That was vigsan Angels defense
Speaker 14: with a mediocre offense that managed to work like the
Speaker 14: Bears always do. We've already passed up on Favral oh Man,
Speaker 14: we did that already. We passed up on Andy Reid
Speaker 14: years ago. We've got Mike McCarthy. Maybe I'm not a
Speaker 14: huge fan of it, but I guess it's better than
Speaker 14: you know, relying on another untested four dator. I mean,
Speaker 14: what are what is the front office doing? When are
Speaker 14: they going to take any amount of good accountability to
Speaker 14: realize that they're making up a series of bad decisions
Speaker 14: that's almost as bad as Maggie's and Ibrifush's late game
Speaker 14: time management.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I keep thinking, if you're going to interview that many candidates,
Speaker 2: do you know what you're looking for? It's almost like
Speaker 2: I don't know what I'm looking for, but I'm going
Speaker 2: to know it when I find it. That's the feeling
Speaker 2: that I get. Last year, you interviewed far less than
Speaker 2: you should have. This year feels like it's way too many.
Speaker 2: You know, there should be a sweet spot of five
Speaker 2: to seven candidates, and you know you're going to have
Speaker 2: some you might be thrilled with others. You might go
Speaker 2: through the motions. Let's be honest, but like, what's Dallas doing?
Speaker 2: It felt like Dallas was on the verge of hiring Dion.
Speaker 2: Now they're talking about do we bring in Robert Salah,
Speaker 2: Does Ben Jhonson want this? Aaron Glenn could be on
Speaker 2: their radar. Lincoln Riley Now I know inside they're probably
Speaker 2: going you know, that's all silly stuff, But I don't
Speaker 2: know in what direction you're going in the Bears Jags, Like,
Speaker 2: what direction are you going in? What direction can you
Speaker 2: go in? Who wants those jobs? Saints job? Do you
Speaker 2: want the Saints? John? Can you get a marquee coach there?
Speaker 2: The Raiders? That feels like it's Ben Johnson with Tom Brady.
Speaker 2: It just feels that way. Jaggs, I don't know, Jets,
Speaker 2: feels like it's Aaron Glenn's Bears. I don't know, Cowboys,
Speaker 2: I don't know. Did you read a lot? You hear
Speaker 2: a lot, and then you realize, like, remember when John
Speaker 2: Gruden's name came up, He's going to be on some
Speaker 2: coaching list. I don't even know if he's interviewed with anybody.
Speaker 2: Remember when that was the deal Steve Sarkesian, All of
Speaker 2: a sudden, he just re signed a contract extent Like
Speaker 2: this is where agents use people in the media to say, hey, hey,
Speaker 2: you know what, could you put my client's name out there?
Speaker 2: Or hey, you know what I'm hearing, Yes, Tom and is.
Speaker 10: Pete Carroll you don the thing?
Speaker 9: Or we're just having fun with the idea of Pete
Speaker 9: carroll name being kicked around.
Speaker 10: I I wanted to believe that for a little while.
Speaker 10: Now I've been on hearing much.
Speaker 2: I would love to have Pete back in the NFL,
Speaker 2: But I have no idea that, like it felt like Chicago,
Speaker 2: that was a place where he could end up.
Speaker 6: I have no idea.
Speaker 2: Once again, you're dealing with a franchise that there's a
Speaker 2: reason why they're in these situations every three or four
Speaker 2: years because of this process. All right, let me take
Speaker 2: a break. How about we write tomorrow's headline today for
Speaker 2: tonight's National title game. You thought you were going to
Speaker 2: get out of this seat and that you didn't have
Speaker 2: to come up with a headline for tonight's game.
Speaker 4: Oh contrare, Dan, I've been looking forward to this all weekend.
Speaker 2: There is no way Todd has so last go off
Speaker 2: her phone calls, what we learn, what's in store tomorrow,
Speaker 2: this day in sports history, and we will write tomorrow's
Speaker 2: headline today after this. Thanks for listening to The Dan
Speaker 2: Patrick Show podcast. Be sure to catch us live every
Speaker 2: weekday morning nine until noon eastern six to nine Pacific
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio, and you can find us on
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app at FSR or stream us live on
Speaker 2: the Peacock app. Last call for phone calls, what we learn,
Speaker 2: what's in store tomorrow, this day in sports history. But
Speaker 2: we are going to write tomorrow's headline today for tonight's
Speaker 2: national title game? But before that, what if Notre Dame
Speaker 2: wins tonight? If you're Marcus Freeman And it was reported
Speaker 2: that the Bears were interested in bringing him in for
Speaker 2: an interview. I don't know if they did or he's
Speaker 2: not going to do an interview. But you win a
Speaker 2: national title thirty nine years of age? Would you leave
Speaker 2: Notre Dame after a national title? Now we've had him
Speaker 2: on before. I don't know what his goals are that
Speaker 2: ultimately you want to get to the NFL, but it's
Speaker 2: that comfort level, it's quality of life. Do you like
Speaker 2: where you are? Do you like what you're doing? Do
Speaker 2: you have the resources there? Are they helping you out
Speaker 2: more than they did Brian Kelly? Have they learned? Do
Speaker 2: you do nil transfer portal? Are they going to continue
Speaker 2: to do like? Those are the questions that I would
Speaker 2: have because I remember when Lou Holtz took over, when
Speaker 2: he took over at Notre Dame, and keep in mind
Speaker 2: Urban Meyer was at Utah and he did a wonderful job,
Speaker 2: and he wanted to interview at Notre Dame. I think
Speaker 2: he wanted the job at Notre Dame. He wanted them
Speaker 2: to relax some of their entrance standards, and they said
Speaker 2: they weren't going to And then he went to Florida
Speaker 2: with Lou Holtz. I think with Lou they allowed him
Speaker 2: to get in one player who wouldn't normally have gotten in,
Speaker 2: and I think Tony Rice was that one player one year,
Speaker 2: and Tony was a wonderful quarterback. They won a national title.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that factors in with Marcus Freeman.
Speaker 2: Can you continue to do this and you know, if
Speaker 2: you're going to be handicapped and everybody else it's the
Speaker 2: wild wild West, then yeah, I would look at going
Speaker 2: into the NFL. But you're at Notre Dame. You're going
Speaker 2: to stay in independent, You control your schedule, and you're
Speaker 2: on TV, you play in big games. Chances are you're
Speaker 2: always going to be in the playoffs and all that
Speaker 2: money that's made goes right to the school. You know
Speaker 2: that would be hard to leave, But I don't know
Speaker 2: what the infrastructure is there, and is it going to change. Yes, Tom,
Speaker 2: can you compare it a bit.
Speaker 10: To Dan Hurley?
Speaker 9: The Lakers are trying to get them look nothing less
Speaker 9: like the Bears we try to get Freeman. But you're
Speaker 9: comfortable with your family, and you're at Yukon and you
Speaker 9: really love being the head coach of Yukon, and hopefully
Speaker 9: coach Freeman loves being the Notre Dame coach and wants
Speaker 9: to win several titles or go back to back if
Speaker 9: they will.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Dan Hurley doesn't have to deal with entrance
Speaker 2: exams and qualification and grade points the way that Marcus
Speaker 2: Freeman does. Now it's completely different. I'm guessing Dan Hurley
Speaker 2: can get in who he wants to get in Marcus
Speaker 2: Freeman that it's not the same. But as far as leaving,
Speaker 2: I like what Dan Hurley did. It's a comfort level.
Speaker 2: So for everything that this was about with him, it
Speaker 2: was about his wife. His wife didn't want to go
Speaker 2: and he listened to her, and that's that's the partnership
Speaker 2: you need to have. And he chose I think he
Speaker 2: chose the right decision instead of going to the Lakers
Speaker 2: because it's the Lakers. So what continue to build what
Speaker 2: you have? You could be building something that will be
Speaker 2: all time, all time. All right, Uh, tomorrow's headline today, Todd,
Speaker 2: I'll start with you.
Speaker 10: I put down Beard's on me Irish win the title.
Speaker 2: Okay, Beard on me, Beard's on me, Ryan, Dave Beard,
Speaker 2: Okay Seaton.
Speaker 4: My headline is inception, Ohio State treats Notre Dame exactly
Speaker 4: how Michigan treats Ohio State.
Speaker 2: Whoa, whoa inception.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Ohio State treats Notre Dame exactly how Michigan treats
Speaker 4: Ohio State.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I didn't see that movie. I didn't see that
Speaker 2: is Marlin Marvin.
Speaker 6: Seize the day. Ohio State pulls out a close one.
Speaker 3: Okay, Paulie, Oh oh no, Buckeys lose to Irish. If
Speaker 3: you're from Ohio, you know that one.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, that's where you're just walking around and somebody
Speaker 2: will see you have Ohio State gear on. They go
Speaker 2: ohh and you go Io.
Speaker 3: Yes, Paul, that's what's great about college football. You hear that.
Speaker 3: The first time I was ever in Auburn, Alabama, I
Speaker 3: was walking on the street and there's like a fifteen
Speaker 3: year old girl and I asked her directions to this restaurant.
Speaker 3: I go thank you, she goes war Eagle. She didn't
Speaker 3: say goodbye or hello war Eagle.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Old time, yeah, old time. This day in sports history,
Speaker 2: just a couple for you.
Speaker 3: Free substitution was allowed for the first time in the
Speaker 3: NFL nineteen forty nine. Ninete eighty five the most watched
Speaker 3: Super Bowl game in history one hundred and fifteen million.
Speaker 3: That was Joe Montana getting his third MVP. And in
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety nine, the NBA lockout officially ended after two
Speaker 3: hundred and four days.
Speaker 2: Nineteen ninety six, Fox introduces the Fox track that illuminated
Speaker 2: the hockey puck. The purists were just a little upset
Speaker 2: there the illuminated the park. What are you doing? Uh?
Speaker 2: Imagine if they had social media in nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 2: On this date, nineteen sixty eight, I was a very
Speaker 2: sad little guy. Houston beat UCLA seventy one sixty nine,
Speaker 2: ending the UCLA Bruins forty seven game winning streak. That's
Speaker 2: when Luel Sindor had the patch over his eye. Elvin
Speaker 2: Hayes was unbelievable in that game. Yes, Marv, is.
Speaker 6: That who we have to blame for basketball and domes?
Speaker 2: Was that? Yeah? I think that was the first one
Speaker 2: that was incredible. That and the stands were so far
Speaker 2: away from the court, so you really lost that ambiance there.
Speaker 2: But yeah, you had the astrodome astrodome, and they talked
Speaker 2: about the backgrounds. You know, if you're a shooter, you know,
Speaker 2: you go into a gym, the first thing you notice
Speaker 2: is that what's the background? How does it look? Depth perception?
Speaker 2: And they talked about that in the Astrodome, that the
Speaker 2: depth perception threw them off a little bit. Well, let
Speaker 2: me see final results of the pole question, Seaton.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got up there. Who was Yesterday's this Weekend's lost?
Speaker 4: Worse for Lions or the Ravens. Overwhelmingly seventy two percent
Speaker 4: of the votes say tougher for the Lions.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, certainly more heartbreaking yep, yet because it
Speaker 2: went from hope to expectation, and that's when it really hurts.
Speaker 2: Let's go around the room. If we learned anything on
Speaker 2: the program, Todd, I'm going to start with you, what
Speaker 2: did you learn today?
Speaker 9: Steve Young Feel's composure is like a gift from heaven,
Speaker 9: the ability to stay common in control under stressful circumstances.
Speaker 2: He's such a great guest he is tells stories. Uh
Speaker 2: see no counter.
Speaker 4: I learned that the refs don't skew calls towards certain
Speaker 4: athletes because they're too worried about getting good grades.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I sent sarcasm.
Speaker 2: I would have been a good official. Too worried about
Speaker 2: my report. I didn't get good grades.
Speaker 6: Marvin Notre Dame was Ryan Clark's dream school.
Speaker 2: Paulie, what did you learn today?
Speaker 3: Ryan Clark made boot tonight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said he may throw up. Yeah, I lost
Speaker 2: my paper here? Three? Two?
Speaker 12: What did I learn?
Speaker 5: Todd?
