Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Today you got Phillies at the Mets and then later
Speaker 2: tonight Dodgers at the Padres the Chiefs. They stay undefeated,
Speaker 2: they handle the Saints and Kareem Hunt come on down
Speaker 2: one hundred and two yards for him. Bad news on
Speaker 2: Rashid Rice that he's done for the rest of the year.
Speaker 2: Conflicting reports by Adam Schefter where it felt like, hey,
Speaker 2: it's not as bad as we think it is. Two
Speaker 2: minutes later he's out for the rest of the year.
Speaker 2: Stat of the Day brought to you by Patini America,
Speaker 2: the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. Whole
Speaker 2: question from our one, Seaton O'Connor. By the way, good morning.
Speaker 2: If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for allowing us
Speaker 2: into your homes and those listening on our radio affiliates
Speaker 2: around the country, thank you for allowing us into your
Speaker 2: lives as well. All Right, Seaton, our.
Speaker 3: Two, we're jumping into when do you start watching hockey? Okay,
Speaker 3: any of the season or once the playoffs start.
Speaker 2: It feels like every year we say the same thing.
Speaker 2: You know what, I'm going all in early.
Speaker 3: Right the end of every hockey season, Like, you know what,
Speaker 3: next year, I'm watching a lot more hockey.
Speaker 2: Yes, I I kind of do drive bys, or if
Speaker 2: there's somebody new teams playing, well, whatever it might be,
Speaker 2: I'll do a drive by, just to be fair, because
Speaker 2: once we get to the postseason, it's weird. We haven't
Speaker 2: watched during the regular season. We get to the postseason
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, we're a no it all or
Speaker 2: we're asking stupid questions. Every year it feels like we
Speaker 2: do that. I will try to start out all in.
Speaker 2: It's difficult because you got football, high school, college pro,
Speaker 2: you got basketball coming up. They just started exhibit preseason games,
Speaker 2: you got postseason baseball. You got a lot going on here,
Speaker 2: and then college basketball is going to start. So you
Speaker 2: can get kicked to the curb in a hurry. But
Speaker 2: you know, come postseason time, I'm going to be an expert.
Speaker 4: Yes, Tom, you could just say something like that was
Speaker 4: a strange line change by Winnipeg.
Speaker 5: No, I'll call you a little too soon that they
Speaker 5: brought them in. I don't know they should have that
Speaker 5: as a second team. Why would that be the third group?
Speaker 2: Yes, Paul, it is weird.
Speaker 6: I remember us all sitting here Edmonton and all, we're
Speaker 6: going crazy watching it, and right next year we're gonna
Speaker 6: buckle down. You know, I casually watched the Blackhawks, you know,
Speaker 6: Connor Burdard. I can't wait, and I'm going to watch
Speaker 6: every game. Then nothing happens.
Speaker 2: Yeah, weird. But the NHL starts tonight and that means
Speaker 2: my Utah Hockey Club is going to be ready to
Speaker 2: go take in the ice. I'm all in on the
Speaker 2: u h C.
Speaker 7: You h C.
Speaker 2: I like him, you ate See who's with me?
Speaker 5: Let's go?
Speaker 2: Uh the DraftKings odds to win the Super Bowl following
Speaker 2: last night, The Chiefs are the favorites, followed by the
Speaker 2: Ravens and the Niners, and then it's the Lions and
Speaker 2: the Vikings after that. What if I said, hey, Kansas
Speaker 2: City undefeated, they're going to go five and five in
Speaker 2: their next ten games. You're gonna go, well, no, that
Speaker 2: wouldn't happen. Well, last year, I think they started out
Speaker 2: six and one and they ended up eleven and six.
Speaker 2: So as much as like the Vikings, great story, what
Speaker 2: if they lose their next four games and you go, well,
Speaker 2: they're playing too well? Okay, Kansas City won the Super
Speaker 2: Bowl last year and went five and five down the stretch.
Speaker 2: So these things happen. You get the dips, you get
Speaker 2: the highs the lows, and that's where you're going to
Speaker 2: have a team that's going to come back and win
Speaker 2: like three or four games in a row, or you're
Speaker 2: going to have somebody who's playing pretty well and then
Speaker 2: all of a sudden they're going to lose two or
Speaker 2: three in a row. You're going to go, well, remember
Speaker 2: Kansas City losing to the Raiders. Was that on Christmas
Speaker 2: Day where they got humbled and the number of people
Speaker 2: who broke ankles jumping off the Chiefs bandwagon was remarkable,
Speaker 2: and I thought, Wow, they've figured out the Chiefs. They're
Speaker 2: not as good as we thought. And that was a
Speaker 2: wake up call for them. So you had the highs
Speaker 2: who'd gone whatever six and one, to the lows of
Speaker 2: now they've figured them out. Hey, they're playing that deep,
Speaker 2: you know, two deep secondary, keeping everything in the front.
Speaker 2: You're not beating them deep. You know all these things,
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, what happens. Get into
Speaker 2: the playoffs and they know how to win. And even
Speaker 2: watching last night, I mentioned this in the first hour,
Speaker 2: I don't think they're like formidable from the standpoint of
Speaker 2: uh oh the Chiefs, But when the game's on the line,
Speaker 2: it's uh oh the Chiefs. Because the offense, they don't
Speaker 2: score a lot of points. I mean, they didn't score
Speaker 2: thirty points again. I think that's fifteen consecutive games. But
Speaker 2: they've changed who they are defense team, defensive minded first,
Speaker 2: and then there will score enough to win the game.
Speaker 2: And that's what happened last night. Here's Patrick Mahomes talking
Speaker 2: about the team effort.
Speaker 7: I mean, Kream just runs extremely hard. He gets every
Speaker 7: yard out there, catches the ball, does whatever it takes
Speaker 7: in order to go out there and win. And then juju.
Speaker 7: I mean y'all saw him two years ago. I mean
Speaker 7: he fits in well in this offense and so he.
Speaker 1: Did a great job today.
Speaker 7: So it was cool to get those guys going and
Speaker 7: then to step up. And it's going to be like
Speaker 7: that until we start getting some of these guys back.
Speaker 7: It's going to be everybody's want the stuff up, make plays.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but even if you get him back, I mean,
Speaker 2: are you getting Isaiah Pacheco back? I would never spend
Speaker 2: money on a running back. You got Kareem Hunt I
Speaker 2: mean you could have him, anybody could have him. They
Speaker 2: got him. You start to look at so you get
Speaker 2: Kareem Hunt free agent, Carson Steele, he's an undrafted free agent,
Speaker 2: Juju Smith Schuster free agent. I mean they they have
Speaker 2: like a team reunion here. Samaj p Ryan free agent.
Speaker 2: He was released by Denver. And that's who they're bringing in.
Speaker 2: The constant is quarterback coach and Chris Jones. That's what
Speaker 2: you need and they got it and that's why they're
Speaker 2: the Chiefs.
Speaker 8: Yes, Marvin, all right, quick comparison is Chris Jones, Reggie
Speaker 8: White and Aaron Donald, Lawrence Taylor.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 9: No, no, no no.
Speaker 8: I'm just saying, as far as like the accolades.
Speaker 2: No, because Chris Jones doesn't get recognized. Reggie White and
Speaker 2: Lawrence Taylor got recognized. Okay, Aaron Donald would be in
Speaker 2: that category of getting recognized modern day, you know there's
Speaker 2: a I mean throw out any of those great defensive linemen.
Speaker 2: But he was different. He's not an edge rusher. He
Speaker 2: disrupted from the.
Speaker 8: I just mean hiss like far as like famous defensive players.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he got fake. Chris Jones still was
Speaker 2: underrated he is. It's he's going to make a play.
Speaker 2: It's weird how you have certain players in certain sports
Speaker 2: where you go that guy when you need him to
Speaker 2: make a play makes a play. Baseball, football, basketball, hockey.
Speaker 2: They may not be great like Gronk. I never worried
Speaker 2: about Gronk, you know, in the regular season. I mean like,
Speaker 2: all right, I know, figure it out, and then all
Speaker 2: of a sudden postseason, then Gronk is playing great. He'll
Speaker 2: make a big catch. Same with Kelsey. I mean you
Speaker 2: could see there was a moment last night where he
Speaker 2: got blasted and I couldn't help but think what I
Speaker 2: would be thinking if I was Travis Kelcere after I
Speaker 2: just got blown up. Like my girlfriend's up there, she's
Speaker 2: a billionaire. I have my podcast with my brother. What
Speaker 2: am I going out here like dragging himself back to
Speaker 2: the He can make more money not playing. But once
Speaker 2: you walk away, you can never it just you can't
Speaker 2: replicate that it's gone. But I just I watched him, like, man,
Speaker 2: he look he looks old out there, all right. Poll
Speaker 2: question for hour two is going to be watched heat
Speaker 2: no counter?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well one might be developing with some breaking news here,
Speaker 3: but we are putting up early. When do you start
Speaker 3: watching hockey beginning of the season or okay, when the
Speaker 3: playoffs start.
Speaker 9: Let me see we get some early results on that.
Speaker 2: Do we have some breaking news.
Speaker 9: Sixty percent start once the playoffs start?
Speaker 10: Okay?
Speaker 2: Do we have potential breaking news on something?
Speaker 9: It's possible.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's possible.
Speaker 9: Okay, we gotta wait, though waiting Paul needs to confirm.
Speaker 2: So oh oh, oh, okay, is this Davante Adam neoze
Speaker 2: Oh no.
Speaker 9: But you're somewhere in the is swimming in the pool of.
Speaker 2: That news in the zeitgeist somewhere.
Speaker 3: If it's a ven diagram, DeVante Adams is a circle
Speaker 3: in that ven diagram.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 2: I have a friend who uses the word zeitgeist way
Speaker 2: too much, and I had to tell him. I said, hey,
Speaker 2: no more zeitgeist, and he goes, what do you mean.
Speaker 2: I go, let's not use it.
Speaker 9: I don't like when you use that word.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't like zeitgeist. And you know, in fairness
Speaker 2: to him, I didn't know what it meant until I'm like,
Speaker 2: no more zeitgeist. Okay. He is also an ID eight guy,
Speaker 2: and I'd be like, okay, we're ide eating and we're zeitgeisting.
Speaker 9: It's nice ideation.
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, Paul, would you like to play guests that
Speaker 6: breaking news? Seaton is recused because he knows it.
Speaker 2: Okay, we have music for this breaking Okay.
Speaker 6: Okay, I'll put it as vague as we can. Someone
Speaker 6: in the NFL is no longer at their job. That
Speaker 6: could be a player, or a coach, or even an ownership.
Speaker 9: Front the office person.
Speaker 2: Everybody, okay, grease keeper, does this have something to do
Speaker 2: with me saying this person would be either the coach
Speaker 2: of the year or fired during this season? Robert Sala
Speaker 2: he got fired.
Speaker 6: According to Adam Schefter. ESPN sources say the Jets have
Speaker 6: fired head coach Robert Salad. That was four minutes ago.
Speaker 6: The Jets informed Robert Sala of their decision minutes ago.
Speaker 6: There will be a new head coach for a Monday
Speaker 6: Night's game versus Buffalo. Can't fire the quarterback.
Speaker 3: I think we did to start a season a first
Speaker 3: coach fired segment.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm pretty sure. Yeah.
Speaker 9: I don't know if if anybody had Robert Sala.
Speaker 2: No, I think I just said he'll either be coach
Speaker 2: of the year fired, yeah, yeah, yeah, and congratulations yay. Yeah,
Speaker 2: what a mess.
Speaker 9: That's a bummer.
Speaker 2: What a mess.
Speaker 6: Yes, preseason odds first coach to be fired it was
Speaker 6: Doug Peterson was first, Robert salo was second, Brian Dable
Speaker 6: of the Giants, Mike McCarthy of the Cowboys. Robert sala
Speaker 6: is officially.
Speaker 2: Okay, Bill Belichick.
Speaker 6: To for another day, one day contract.
Speaker 2: Yeah, signed that one day deal. Now I'm just I'm
Speaker 2: channeling my inner Fox Sports or ESPN of a how
Speaker 2: do we spend this? And Bill Belichick, I.
Speaker 6: Would have told him in London. You know, he's in London.
Speaker 6: He can vacation. He doesn't. You don't make him come
Speaker 6: all the way back and fire him.
Speaker 2: Well, he does live here, so it's it's not like
Speaker 2: he came back and then he'd have to go back
Speaker 2: to London. Yes.
Speaker 3: By the way, they sound awfully confident that there's going
Speaker 3: to be a new head coach for Monday.
Speaker 2: I'm going to guess an interim head coach.
Speaker 9: Okay, because it says there will be a new head coach.
Speaker 6: Rogers are definitely gonna put in for it.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it, you know, hopefully it's not
Speaker 2: Nathaniel Hackett.
Speaker 9: If it's an interim.
Speaker 2: Hopefully it's not Nathaniel Hackett. Yes, Tom So what's.
Speaker 5: Rogers said in the press conference?
Speaker 4: Or we can hold players accountable as far as the
Speaker 4: cadence was that pretty much the nail in the coffin
Speaker 4: after that comment, where we could.
Speaker 5: I heal the rift?
Speaker 2: You know what, I never thought he was a head coach.
Speaker 2: He didn't act like a head coach. He was, you know,
Speaker 2: a very good defensive cord. Not everybody is meant to
Speaker 2: be a head coach, and there's certain guys who don't
Speaker 2: have the personality. They're not wired that way. I mean,
Speaker 2: you're you're trying to find the leak in your locker room.
Speaker 2: You know, you want guys to turn in their cell phones.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, all of a sudden, this is crazy stuff.
Speaker 2: Just win football games. And I just don't think there
Speaker 2: was that leadership there. They acquiesced to Rogers, you're all
Speaker 2: in on him. What they did to Zach Wilson was
Speaker 2: terror like they just they're the Jets. That's it. They're
Speaker 2: the Jet. Sometimes you don't even need an explanation like
Speaker 2: what happened the Jets? Oh okay, that explains everything.
Speaker 8: Yes, Martin, do you try to go for a veteran
Speaker 8: head coach, somebody who's been a head coach before well
Speaker 8: or Ben Jonson from the line.
Speaker 2: What if you bring out well, he's going to cost
Speaker 2: you an awful lot. What if you said to Mike Vrabel,
Speaker 2: come on in and clean this up, but it's not
Speaker 2: a temporary job. Would you give somebody if I'm one
Speaker 2: of these candidates, I don't want a job now because
Speaker 2: I want to make sure I have an opportunity. I
Speaker 2: want to have that ramp that I can go get.
Speaker 2: I have to be able to have some time before
Speaker 2: lift off here, and I don't want to go in
Speaker 2: and have your players this whole feeling that you have,
Speaker 2: and you've got to figure out if Aaron Rodgers is
Speaker 2: going to be there next year. So to me, it's
Speaker 2: not a desirable job. I think they do have some
Speaker 2: fun pieces there. Would you get rid of Robert Sala
Speaker 2: if you were bringing in Davante Adams, I'd be curious
Speaker 2: about that. All right, let me take a break. We'll
Speaker 2: talk to Larry Fitzgerald, get his thoughts on the latest news.
Speaker 2: The Jets have moved on from their head coach Robert Sala.
Speaker 2: Phone calls as well. We're 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: If you're just joining us. The Jets have fired their
Speaker 2: head coach, Robert sala. We bring in Larry Fitzgerald, the
Speaker 2: future Hall of Famer. What do you make of that
Speaker 2: decision to fire Robert Sala?
Speaker 10: Hey, Dan, it's good to be on with you. Appreciation
Speaker 10: having me.
Speaker 11: It's surprising, you know, in the game in the league
Speaker 11: that not much surprises you. This this is not what
Speaker 11: I expected. I mean, this is not a team that's
Speaker 11: eliminated from the playoffs. Yeah, you have a Hall of
Speaker 11: Fame quarterback still back there, very capable, you know, defense
Speaker 11: that's that's played somewhat decent, better than expected throughout the
Speaker 11: course of the year. So I was just as surprised
Speaker 11: as everybody else when I heard the news today.
Speaker 2: Okay, but I don't know. Were you ever on a
Speaker 2: team where coach got fired during the season.
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 2: Never, Okay, because I wonder. I mean, that's a drastic move.
Speaker 10: I agree, I agree, and I don't. I don't.
Speaker 11: I don't necessarily believe that you can put your team
Speaker 11: in a better position, you know, removing your head coach
Speaker 11: at this point in the year unless there's somebody that
Speaker 11: we don't know about on that staff that can really
Speaker 11: galvanize this team and and you know, get him to
Speaker 11: perform at a better level. But I just I just
Speaker 11: don't know if that's that's truly possible.
Speaker 2: What do you think is going on with Devonte Adams?
Speaker 11: Like?
Speaker 2: How did this end poorly with the Raiders? After I
Speaker 2: know that Derek Carr got sent to the saying or
Speaker 2: he went to this and that's who he wanted to
Speaker 2: play with, but now he wants out. How do you
Speaker 2: think this plays out?
Speaker 11: I think you get to you to a point in
Speaker 11: your career where you start looking around and you start
Speaker 11: evaluating truthfully, like do I have a chance to win here?
Speaker 10: You know, I'm I'm a Hall of Fame receiver, you.
Speaker 11: Know, most prolific, most prolific player of my generation probably.
Speaker 10: And like I want to win. I want to win
Speaker 10: a championship.
Speaker 11: I want to play meaningful games in November, December or
Speaker 11: January and eventually have a chance to play in the
Speaker 11: Super Bowl. And quite frankly, Dan, you would agree with this.
Speaker 11: They just they don't have a They don't have that
Speaker 11: ability in uh in Las Vegas right now. And you know,
Speaker 11: I understand that he wants to you want to play
Speaker 11: meaningful games.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but did you face the same situation at any
Speaker 2: point in your career with with Arizona.
Speaker 10: Yeah, but I'm I'm I'm, I'm I'm very different.
Speaker 11: You know, everybody handles these situations, you know, in a
Speaker 11: way they feel his best for themselves, and so I
Speaker 11: respect his desire to want to go, you know, be
Speaker 11: on a contender.
Speaker 10: You know that's the way he chooses to do it.
Speaker 10: And you know, I have no no issues that.
Speaker 2: What's the magic that Mahomes is bringing where it doesn't
Speaker 2: matter who's the receiver? Like, how does he make that where?
Speaker 2: I know Brady did this as well, where you just
Speaker 2: plug and play. But Mahomes, they're not an offensive juggernaut
Speaker 2: Larry there. I mean, they're a defensive minded team. And
Speaker 2: then you're kind of asking the offense, hey, can you
Speaker 2: get us like twenty one points? That'll be enough for
Speaker 2: us to win games?
Speaker 11: Yeah, I don't know if that will work all year.
Speaker 11: They definitely need to play better and more consistent offensively.
Speaker 11: But I mean, I know any Read gets a lot
Speaker 11: of credit. I don't know if he gets enough, though.
Speaker 11: I don't think he gets the love and admiration he
Speaker 11: truly deserves what he's able to put out there every
Speaker 11: single year. I can't tell you the last time I
Speaker 11: watched the game a team win when you know they're
Speaker 11: best player in Patmo does not throw a touchdown, you know,
Speaker 11: I mean, like like Patrick Mahomes did not throw a
Speaker 11: touch down and they won by was it ten to
Speaker 11: thirteen points last week?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Man, that's that's that's crazy to think about that.
Speaker 11: And uh and then you lose, you know, your most
Speaker 11: targeted receiver to a knee injury a week ago, and
Speaker 11: you know, then your Koreem hunk comes in a rounds
Speaker 11: for a hundred and Juju goes for.
Speaker 10: One hundred and thirty. I mean, like it literally it it's.
Speaker 11: Just whoever Andy Reid, those in the in the in
Speaker 11: the gulash, whoever Andy Reid, those in the in the
Speaker 11: in the in the crock pot.
Speaker 10: You know it's gonna come out and it's gonna be
Speaker 10: smelling good.
Speaker 2: They might be calling you, when's the last time you
Speaker 2: heard from a team one.
Speaker 11: A long time ago, DP I got, I got. I
Speaker 11: got nothing for you. I got nothing for you. You need
Speaker 11: me on the golf team or to pick a ball
Speaker 11: team or something like that.
Speaker 10: I got you.
Speaker 2: But okay, but who who reached out to you? How
Speaker 2: long ago?
Speaker 10: This was the this was the year after uh you know,
Speaker 10: the last year I played. I talked to I talked
Speaker 10: to the Chiefs, and you know, I knew it was time.
Speaker 10: It was I had a great run. You know, it
Speaker 10: was time to move on to new endeavors.
Speaker 2: Wait wait, wait, the Chiefs. I mean you didn't have
Speaker 2: enough to kind of do what you know Travis Kelcey's doing,
Speaker 2: you know, grab a ring here.
Speaker 10: No, No, there's no guarantees in life.
Speaker 11: I mean I've seen guys go ring, chase and a
Speaker 11: lot of different sports, and you know, I remember Karl
Speaker 11: Malone and Gary Payton going to the Lakers and chasing
Speaker 11: the day like there's no there's no guarantee just because
Speaker 11: you're on a really good team that you're gonna win.
Speaker 10: And you know, I had a great I had a
Speaker 10: great run and it was it was my time.
Speaker 2: He's Larry Fitzgai. You up for the Hall of Fame
Speaker 2: Next year.
Speaker 10: I believe so yes, believe you believe?
Speaker 2: So yes, sir, Yeah, I think you know so not believe.
Speaker 2: So Larry is joining us on behalf of DraftKings, offering
Speaker 2: the free to play pick Them pools every Sunday in October.
Speaker 2: DraftKings donating one dollar for the first twenty thousand entries
Speaker 2: every week the Larry Fitzgerald Foundation, and that funds breast
Speaker 2: cancer research and support. So it's the free to play pink.
Speaker 2: That's pink, not pick So you want to explain that
Speaker 2: a little bit more? Did I do? Okay?
Speaker 10: Now, you always do a great job.
Speaker 11: But Draft Kings, I've been very fortunate to have a
Speaker 11: six year relationship to this point. We raised over five
Speaker 11: hundred thousand dollars in the month of October. My mother
Speaker 11: lost her battle of breast cancer two thousand and three.
Speaker 11: You know, my executive director of my foundation, Daniel Frost,
Speaker 11: you know, just beat breast cancer.
Speaker 10: I've had ats and a.
Speaker 11: Lot of people close to me who would battle through this,
Speaker 11: and you know, it's just something that I'm really passionate about,
Speaker 11: and you know, it's really great that Draft Kings would
Speaker 11: be on board to you know, stay in the fox
Speaker 11: hole with me in our organization as we continue to
Speaker 11: bring awareness to a hideous disease.
Speaker 2: What hurts on you.
Speaker 10: Nothing. I've never had a surgery. Nothing. I wake up
Speaker 10: every morning and you know I have no issues, no issues.
Speaker 2: How is that constable? You never had a surgery.
Speaker 10: I don't know. I don't know. I was fortunate, very fortunate.
Speaker 10: God God looked over me.
Speaker 2: Dang. Yeah, that's important. I mean, for as many catchers
Speaker 2: and I'm looking here, you were really good at tackling
Speaker 2: people too. I got a lot of tackles in your
Speaker 2: career for a wide receiver.
Speaker 11: Right, yeah, I did, you know, But no, that was
Speaker 11: always a big emphasis for us.
Speaker 10: You know, if it was a fumble or interception, we
Speaker 10: got to get the guy on the ground.
Speaker 11: It didn't help me in the Super Bowl against James Harrison,
Speaker 11: But I didn't know I had to tackle it.
Speaker 2: Oh No, I didn't.
Speaker 10: I didn't know I had to tackle a man that.
Speaker 11: I don't know if he's ever tried to move refrigerator before,
Speaker 11: DP Like, you don't see. You don't seem like a
Speaker 11: guy who who really does too much domestic.
Speaker 10: Work around the house.
Speaker 11: But if you ever try to move a refrigerator, that's
Speaker 11: that's what it felt like trying to hit James Harrison.
Speaker 2: Okay, but there was a staffer who blocked you on
Speaker 2: the sidelines when he made that interception in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 10: It was not a staffer. It was actually answer a role.
Speaker 11: And so when he won his Super Bowl with the Giants,
Speaker 11: you know, made me more mad because you know, he
Speaker 11: stole mine.
Speaker 10: Man got himself wine.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, what are you thinking though, as you're
Speaker 2: chasing James Harrison because the clock is winding down and
Speaker 2: the half is going to end, and you're chasing him
Speaker 2: trying to keep him from scoring.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 10: I knew I would be able to catch him. I
Speaker 10: was gaining ground on him.
Speaker 11: I just didn't anticipate that I would have to run
Speaker 11: through another block from somebody on my own team, you know.
Speaker 10: So that that that part, that part hurt me.
Speaker 2: But you score that touchdown though in the second half,
Speaker 2: did you think you guys were winning the Super Bowl
Speaker 2: when you're running in Absolutely.
Speaker 10: I think momentum really shifted in our favor.
Speaker 11: And you know that that touchdown, you know, really put
Speaker 11: us in a really uh, you know.
Speaker 10: Positive position. So I thought it would be enough.
Speaker 11: But you know, there's a reason Ben Roethlisberger is the
Speaker 11: first battle Hall of Famer. And you know Mike Toma
Speaker 11: was going to be a Hall of Famer, and you
Speaker 11: know he had wanted a better office of coordinators and
Speaker 11: Bruce Aaron's and they made a great play to finish
Speaker 11: the game.
Speaker 2: Larry just picked up the game of golf not too
Speaker 2: long ago. And I think he might be a sandbagger.
Speaker 2: He might, he might lie on his handicap a little bit.
Speaker 2: But the most famous player or person I should say
Speaker 2: that you've played golf with us?
Speaker 10: Who I don't know.
Speaker 11: I mean, I played with a lot of I was
Speaker 11: the President Obama, I would say, is way up there
Speaker 11: on that list. Many I get a chance to play
Speaker 11: with him, you know, every year, I always, you know,
Speaker 11: still kind of pinch myself. Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan's
Speaker 11: I've seen those are those are a.
Speaker 10: Lot of fun to play with him, so competitive and
Speaker 10: he learned so much from him. Turn their mental.
Speaker 2: Approachs okay, But how much money are you playing for
Speaker 2: when you play against Jordan?
Speaker 10: You know what, I try to keep it. I try
Speaker 10: to keep it within the reason. It's hard. It's hard
Speaker 10: to gamble with billionaires, you.
Speaker 11: Know, whatever, whatever whatever numbers comfortable for him is grossly
Speaker 11: uncomfortable for you.
Speaker 2: You know what about Tiger? Did you play for money
Speaker 2: with Tiger?
Speaker 10: No? No, we didn't play. We didn't play for money.
Speaker 10: He you know, he actually just likes to He likes
Speaker 10: to just have a good time. He doesn't that necessarily
Speaker 10: get into all the money games.
Speaker 2: But when you play against Barack Obama, they're secret service
Speaker 2: agents lining the fairway, aren't there.
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 11: Then so I actually, uh, a few years ago, I
Speaker 11: was playing with him, I made a hole and wanted
Speaker 11: the group with him, and and you.
Speaker 10: Know I didn't.
Speaker 11: Really my celebration was pretty subdued, just because you know,
Speaker 11: you see all the semi automatical I got.
Speaker 10: I got a golf club in my hand, and I'm
Speaker 10: only tend feed away from him, Like there's a lot
Speaker 10: of things that could go wrong very quickly.
Speaker 11: And uh, and so I was like, Okay, you know,
Speaker 11: I act like you've been there.
Speaker 10: I want to act be my best. Barry Sanders impersonation.
Speaker 2: Good to talk to you, Good luck with DraftKings, and
Speaker 2: thanks for joining us.
Speaker 10: Thank you have a great day. Man.
Speaker 2: That's Larry Fitzgerald, the former Cardinal wide receiver third overall
Speaker 2: pick back in four and made the Pro Bowl eleven times.
Speaker 2: DraftKings offering free to play Pinkham pools every NFL Sunday
Speaker 2: in October. DraftKings donating one dollar for the first twenty
Speaker 2: thousand entries every week going to the Larry Fitzgerald Foundation
Speaker 2: to fund breast cancer research and support. I once played
Speaker 2: golf with the Governor, Jesse Ventura, and we were in Minnesota. Well,
Speaker 2: you play and there's Secret Service guys lining the fairway,
Speaker 2: and I would joke with Jesse Ventura. I'd be like,
Speaker 2: you know what, your ball always seems to stay in bounds.
Speaker 2: Like he'd hit a shot and would go sideways, and
Speaker 2: he always found it. Secret Service guy always found it.
Speaker 2: And I mean, I'm not calling him a cheater, but
Speaker 2: it felt like there was a home course advantage there
Speaker 2: that he never hit the ball out of bounds. And'd
Speaker 2: be like, no, I'll be damn you found your ball. Huh.
Speaker 2: I thought it went right in the middle of the lake. Nope, didn't.
Speaker 2: I go, Okay, man, it must be your day, must
Speaker 2: be your day. Nope, didn't. Nope didn't. He was a
Speaker 2: lot of fun, though he was. He was a sharp guy,
Speaker 2: fun good opinions, strong opinions. Played with Ray Allen and
Speaker 2: Dante Colepepper and Andy. Ray's a really good player, and
Speaker 2: Jesse was okay. But Dante Culpepper shouldn't have been out there.
Speaker 2: First of all, he didn't know that golf was eighteen holes.
Speaker 2: He thought it was nine. And then we got to
Speaker 2: the end of you know, the ninth hole, and he
Speaker 2: was like, well, see you guys, We're like, there's nine
Speaker 2: more holes. He goes, not for me, So he ended
Speaker 2: up leaving. Yes, Pauline, do.
Speaker 6: You think it would be fun and relaxing to play
Speaker 6: with a present former president or just completely tense?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I can't imagine relaxing.
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so it would be. I think
Speaker 2: if you had a couple of beers and then you
Speaker 2: were able to talk like that, because I I would
Speaker 2: have a lot of questions, but I don't know if
Speaker 2: I'm allowed to ask him.
Speaker 6: And can you even in the middle of a round
Speaker 6: of golf, do you have to address it? Oh that's
Speaker 6: a great put, mister president. You wire to wire, it's
Speaker 6: mister press.
Speaker 2: Probably so yeah, Like I always thought Bill Clinton would
Speaker 2: be a lot of fun. If I'm we're having beers
Speaker 2: and I'm allowed to just talk freely that that could
Speaker 2: be interesting. What do you think of the raisor backs
Speaker 2: right about that win against Tennessee. Yeah, it's Todd he.
Speaker 5: Get into cracking.
Speaker 2: That was that was my That was my Bill Clinton,
Speaker 2: And you've been doing your Donald Trump and person.
Speaker 5: We're in competition with you there.
Speaker 2: That was it what mine?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 8: His was that Donald Trumps.
Speaker 2: No, that was I wasn't doing a pressure and here
Speaker 2: let me do it again.
Speaker 5: Fracking. We don't like cracking. We do like cracking. We flip.
Speaker 5: We flop.
Speaker 6: It sounds like you flip.
Speaker 5: You're not clippers.
Speaker 2: You're not doing an impersonation.
Speaker 5: We tend to flip. We flip one way, we flip
Speaker 5: the other flip.
Speaker 4: I call her flipper because she flips.
Speaker 5: That's all I got for it.
Speaker 2: I think if we're watching you, it helps.
Speaker 5: It doesn't help.
Speaker 2: Yes, you know.
Speaker 3: One of the things that really got me about sausage off.
Speaker 9: Was like Todd, like, you can't hear what we're all hearing.
Speaker 9: You can't hear that.
Speaker 3: That was the most fascinating part to me that he
Speaker 3: couldn't figure out that fork and falk weren't the same thing,
Speaker 3: and We kept going on and on about it, and like,
Speaker 3: you can't hear the difference there, You can't tell the difference.
Speaker 3: This is the same thing to me where I'm like,
Speaker 3: tell you can't hear that.
Speaker 9: You're not doing an impression and you're just talking. You're
Speaker 9: just you're just using your own normal voice.
Speaker 2: You can't hear that. Well, he did the Olivia Newton
Speaker 2: John tribute and didn't hear himself, not on you know time, uh,
Speaker 2: not on cue, not on I mean, you were a mess.
Speaker 5: It makes good.
Speaker 2: Sports Radio Association.
Speaker 1: You gotta answer it just right, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: Don't google.
Speaker 4: Let's just try to think it out, tell yourself, meant
Speaker 4: to know what you're talking about, or get embarrassed.
Speaker 2: But this, this was meant to be a very nice,
Speaker 2: sweet tribute to Olivia Newton.
Speaker 5: John's a huge oliving Noon John fan.
Speaker 4: It was not supposed to end up being a disrespectful,
Speaker 4: goofy thing.
Speaker 5: I took it very seriously.
Speaker 2: When I thought, I know, I know, yes, still.
Speaker 8: I think I've said it on the show before. There's
Speaker 8: nothing better than the big German goes Hey, guys, Fritzy
Speaker 8: needs to hear the music. He weeks goes, he does
Speaker 8: hear the music, He goes, oh, they never mind, And.
Speaker 2: Then we ask you, do you want to do it again?
Speaker 2: And you're like, Nope, I think I nailed it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't really need to stay with the music.
Speaker 5: It's all about the words. Music is just a little
Speaker 5: extra thing in the background.
Speaker 2: Good sports conversation.
Speaker 5: Everyone knows. It's all about the lyrics, not the background music.
Speaker 9: He the best we're getting embarrass or radio and TV.
Speaker 4: I got to speed up a little bit the syllables
Speaker 4: to get that in the greatest moment.
Speaker 2: How about we take a break. We have a quick
Speaker 2: NFL game, trivia game.
Speaker 9: Doing an impression. I'm doing an impression of an impression,
Speaker 9: an impression.
Speaker 5: Terrible, terrible. Everybody loves me. They hate this one. They
Speaker 5: love me. Who knows, I don't know. They love they
Speaker 5: love me. Terrible terrible thing.
Speaker 2: All right, So the hot new NFL segment is is
Speaker 2: going to come up next?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, after this, be sure to catch the live
Speaker 1: edition of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am
Speaker 1: Eastern six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio WAPP.
Speaker 2: The NFL didn't officially track drops for receivers. I think
Speaker 2: they started what seven or something like that, But since
Speaker 2: two thousand and seven, Larry Fitzgerald had thirty seven drops
Speaker 2: and thirty nine tackles. They had more tackles than drop
Speaker 2: passes in a large portion of his career.
Speaker 11: Statam the Days the Dame, stat of the Day, stat
Speaker 11: of the Day, stat.
Speaker 10: Of the days, standing days, not of.
Speaker 2: The day, startup instead of the Day. Brought to you
Speaker 2: by Panini America, the official Trading cards of the Dan
Speaker 2: Patrick Show. All right, we have a hot new NFL segment.
Speaker 2: Do you want to give the definition of the hot
Speaker 2: news segment?
Speaker 6: Well, first, we have a quick NFL quiz slash game.
Speaker 2: Oh oh, so we have two things.
Speaker 6: Okay, there's so much we can't get to everything. Okay,
Speaker 6: I think we have custom music for this. This is
Speaker 6: a stat I enjoy which NFL teams spends the most
Speaker 6: money slash caproom on its offensive line its infrastructure as
Speaker 6: they like to say, because I think this is a
Speaker 6: telling stat about teams that succeed and don't succeed. Which
Speaker 6: NFL team spends the most and I'm complimenting them on
Speaker 6: their offensive line? Who would like a hint?
Speaker 2: Or you can just answer Todd.
Speaker 5: You start Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 2: All right, see no Connor.
Speaker 9: How about the Chiefs?
Speaker 2: Okay, Marvin, the Ravens. I was going to say the
Speaker 2: Ravens too.
Speaker 6: The hint is now the Chief's got it. The Chiefs
Speaker 6: spend the most money on the offensive line, sixty six
Speaker 6: million in caproom, Joe Toney, Juwan Taylor, et cetera, et cetera, etc.
Speaker 6: So the thing there is, remember when they lost with
Speaker 6: Super Bowl to Tampa and everyone said invest in the
Speaker 6: offensive line, investing offensive line by not paying running backs
Speaker 6: and wide receivers and Tyreek Hill. They parked at all
Speaker 6: on the offensive defensive line.
Speaker 2: Okay, we did it.
Speaker 9: I think the Ravens that that's their biggest problem is
Speaker 9: their offensive.
Speaker 6: They're thirteenth in the league.
Speaker 9: Yeah, come online, okay, what are we doing all right now?
Speaker 2: Time for the hot new NFL segment.
Speaker 6: This is a fun one. Okay, guys in back just
Speaker 6: made this one up. Man, Did Blank need a game
Speaker 6: like that? Man? Did Blank need a game like that?
Speaker 6: You fill in the blank the NFL player, or it
Speaker 6: could be another college baseball Todd.
Speaker 4: I'm going with, Man, did Trevor Lawrence need a game
Speaker 4: like that? Twaight of thirty four, three hundred and seventy
Speaker 4: one yards two TVs and finally no longer win the
Speaker 4: lists of the Jaguars in that win over the Colts.
Speaker 2: Okay, Seaton.
Speaker 3: You know what, maybe it's recency bias. I'm gonna say,
Speaker 3: Juju Smith Schuster. He needed a game like that. You
Speaker 3: needed a breakout game. You're kind of bouncing around a
Speaker 3: little bit trying to hold on.
Speaker 9: You got cut. I think a couple times.
Speaker 3: I don't know if he if that's the last great
Speaker 3: game he's ever gonna have, or if he's going to
Speaker 3: be the Super Bowl MVP and like with a game
Speaker 3: winning catch. I don't really know, but it could be
Speaker 3: those Marvin, how about you?
Speaker 8: Caleb Williams needed a game like that. I need to
Speaker 8: keep people off of him. As far as Jade Daniels
Speaker 8: because he's been playing so well, had a couple of
Speaker 8: touchdown passes. So Kyle Wims needed a game like that, Holly, I'm.
Speaker 6: Going back to last Thursday night, Kyle Pitts The tight
Speaker 6: End of Atlanta. Not a monster game, but seven for
Speaker 6: eighty eight on National TV. There's been a lot of
Speaker 6: hubbub about him now working out, though he hasn't really
Speaker 6: worked out and he was supposed to be the sure
Speaker 6: thing at tight end out of college.
Speaker 2: All right, Todd, do you have another suggestion?
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna stick with Trevor.
Speaker 2: We were gonna do two rounds, two rounds.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll go round two. Okay, I'm gonna go bow
Speaker 6: Knicks for similar to what the reasons Marvin said. These
Speaker 6: other rookie quarterbacks are stepping up, and bow Nicks needed
Speaker 6: a nice clean game.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 2: Anybody else have another go round? Yeah, Seaton, I could
Speaker 2: run one back. Okay.
Speaker 3: Can I say Brian Flores needed games like plural?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 9: He's having a hell of a season for himself.
Speaker 2: Yes, he is defensive coordinator with the brother of the biker. Yeah, okay, Marvin,
Speaker 2: how about you.
Speaker 8: Brian Daball and Daniel Jones.
Speaker 6: Could you guys please say it the right way?
Speaker 8: Man man Comma. Did Brian day Ball need a game
Speaker 8: like that?
Speaker 2: There you go, you're right about that, he did. I
Speaker 2: was gonna go man Comma. Yeah, Kyler Murray certainly could
Speaker 2: use a game like that or something. Okay, we did it.
Speaker 2: All right, you play at home if you want. Yeah,
Speaker 2: uh Raj in Chicago? Hey, Raj, what's on your mind.
Speaker 12: Oh, good morning, mister Patrick, thanks for taking a call.
Speaker 12: I want to weigh in on the poll from last hour.
Speaker 12: I just think, well, I did think that Deshaun Watson
Speaker 12: was the worst human on earth. That's coming on.
Speaker 2: I don't think he's the worst human on earth, but
Speaker 2: you know he's in the running.
Speaker 12: Yeah, he's bad, He's bad. But now I'm about to
Speaker 12: go with Aaron Rodgers. Man, the dudes I had getting
Speaker 12: coaches fired. Man in the middle of the season, and
Speaker 12: that's my man. But yeah, man, he definitely has to
Speaker 12: the top of the list for worst quarterback situation right now.
Speaker 2: I think, Man, all right, well, but you can move
Speaker 2: on from Aaron Rodgers after this year. Robert Sala's head
Speaker 2: coach just got fired. Robert Sawer really wasn't involved in
Speaker 2: the offense. I don't think. I don't know if it's
Speaker 2: going to solve the issues there. But I mean, I'm
Speaker 2: looking at the numbers here. If you let me see
Speaker 2: if I have this. I don't know if I still
Speaker 2: have this. I think Todd sent it to me with
Speaker 2: the comparisons between Aaron Rodgers and Zach Wilson. Maybe I
Speaker 2: deleted that, but their numbers are kind of similar through
Speaker 2: the first five games from this year for Rodgers last
Speaker 2: year for Zack Wilson. Let me see Andrew and Washington.
Speaker 13: Hi Andrew, good morning, and that's thanks for taking my call. Yeah.
Speaker 14: I don't know if you notice that, you know, moment
Speaker 14: in London when Aaron Rodgers went down with an injury,
Speaker 14: the training staffs comes out, he comes off the field.
Speaker 14: Robert Sala did not address Aaron Rodgers. He actually asked
Speaker 14: one of the training staff what was going on as
Speaker 14: Aaron Rodgers walked by. At that moment, I knew his
Speaker 14: coaching career was over.
Speaker 13: He couldn't talk to his quarterback. So I don't know
Speaker 13: if that's actually a situation that somebody wants to go
Speaker 13: into so they know who's calling the shots and they
Speaker 13: know whose season it is. But on another note, I
Speaker 13: do want to send a thank you note on behalf
Speaker 13: of all of the Carolina Panthers fans and nation to
Speaker 13: Jimmy Haslin in the Browns organization for helping get David
Speaker 13: Tepper first of all, fade off the front page and
Speaker 13: make Bryce Young look like a cheap mistake. You're right,
Speaker 13: Deshaun Watson and the Browns have the worst organization going on.
Speaker 13: But my question is this, do you think the locker
Speaker 13: room ever wanted to play well for Deshaun Watson as well?
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean, you're kind of playing for yourself, so
Speaker 2: you want to play well. I don't think those players
Speaker 2: are like what this guy was accused of or guilty of,
Speaker 2: and you're not gonna play you know well. Now, they're
Speaker 2: players who haven't played well or up to standards because
Speaker 2: they don't like their coach and they know that a
Speaker 2: coach can get fired. But I don't think those players
Speaker 2: in the Cleveland locker room are going to go, hey,
Speaker 2: you know, let's not play well, let's not block well.
Speaker 2: Here it is Zack Wilson after five games, two and
Speaker 2: three Aaron Rodgers this year, after five games, two and
Speaker 2: three points scored with Zack Wilson as quarterback for the Jets,
Speaker 2: ninety three points scored with Aaron Rodgers with the Jets,
Speaker 2: ninety three whoo cow.
Speaker 7: Stall of a day, Stall of a day, Statuta day
Speaker 7: start out to day.
Speaker 1: This is the stule of.
Speaker 2: The day, brought to you by Panadi America. We'll check
Speaker 2: in with the Jets this and it came out of
Speaker 2: nowhere with Robert Sala being fired, so we'll track down
Speaker 2: somebody who covers the Jets. That'll be coming up next hour.
Speaker 2: Bob Constace will stop by as well. We will have
Speaker 2: a poll question for the final hour of the program.
Speaker 2: Update the poor results if you can seating so far
Speaker 2: hour two.
Speaker 9: Yeah, we got on there.
Speaker 3: When do you start watching hockey the beginning of the
Speaker 3: season or when the playoffs start? Right now, sixty three
Speaker 3: percent of the audience start when the playoffs start.
Speaker 2: NHL season starts tonight. You got baseball this afternoon, Phillies
Speaker 2: at the Mets and then the Dodgers at the Padres.
Speaker 2: That'll be at nine Eastern with game threes of their series.
Speaker 2: Tigers over the Guardians. The Royals beat the Yankees. Bob
Speaker 2: was on the call for that game. So two hours
Speaker 2: in the books on this Tuesday, one more to go

Speaker 2: sitting by the Gang's all here, the Minister of Humor Fritzi,
Speaker 2: Great Donald Trump impersonation, Seaton Marve Polly, Yours truly final
