Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: It's our two on this Monday, Dan and the Dan
Speaker 2: Ns Dan Patrick Show. It was the second annual Tom
Speaker 2: Brady Rose to Last hour. Apparently we were talking about
Speaker 2: Tom's debut. We'll talk a little bit more about that.
Speaker 2: We gave you our thoughts on that. Andrew Marshaw of
Speaker 2: The Athletic, a sports media columnist. He'll join us coming
Speaker 2: up here in a little bit. All righty poll question
Speaker 2: from our one seat, and we skewed negative. Let's recap that.
Speaker 2: What we're gonna go with Hour two. We occasionally do
Speaker 2: skew negative. We often start out the week with who
Speaker 2: had the worst who? Which is a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: Who had the worst weekend? Colorado, Colorado, Michigan or Notre Dame?
Speaker 2: Right now, Notre Dame's got seventy six percent of the vote.
Speaker 2: Nobody had a worst weekend than Notre Dame. College football wise, nobody.
Speaker 2: Oh no, buddy, that's tough.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we could go put up their most surprising news
Speaker 3: to start NFL Sunday, Dak Prescott's contract, Tyreek Hill being detained.
Speaker 4: That was surprising.
Speaker 3: Kendrick Lamar announced the halftime show that's big news that
Speaker 3: came out of nowhere, and he made the announcement. Yeah,
Speaker 3: heck yeah, Okay, Hendrick's doing it. There's another one too
Speaker 3: that I didn't write down that I can't remember.
Speaker 5: Justin Field's getting the start for the Steelers.
Speaker 4: Getting the start for the Steelers.
Speaker 5: Yes, it was. It was an interesting morning.
Speaker 2: And if I would have been doing Sports Center last
Speaker 2: night and Tyreek Hill got detained prior to the game,
Speaker 2: and if I was doing the highlights last night and
Speaker 2: he runs for eighty yards, I would have said, Tyreek Hill,
Speaker 2: you can't stop him. You could only hope to detain him.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Tom, Thank you too soon he made fun of,
Speaker 2: you know, handcuffs on him.
Speaker 5: Eighty yards. Okay, So the whole question for hour two
Speaker 5: is going to be what Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think we're going to put in there the most
Speaker 3: surprising news. I don't know if Justin Fields is going
Speaker 3: to make the cut, but uh, that's where we're going on.
Speaker 5: I would go with just Dak or Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't know if anybody cared about Justin Field starting.
Speaker 2: I think there are indications she was going to start because.
Speaker 4: Kendrick in there too.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Kendrick Lamar. Yeah, yeah for clicks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so no Taylor Swift.
Speaker 5: No again, no Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2: And I didn't she change from Pepsi? Like, wasn't that
Speaker 2: the big hold up that it was sponsored by Pepsi
Speaker 2: and she's Coca Cola or vice versa. Something like that
Speaker 2: came down to politics there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that kind of thing actually happens a lot where
Speaker 3: I remember, like there was a big Britney Spears Christina
Speaker 3: Aguilera Pepsi versus Coke dust uff back in the aughts.
Speaker 5: That was okay, pretty crazy.
Speaker 2: Great response to the new tailgate moonshine and it's Hallowpanio lime.
Speaker 2: I don't know how many bottles we have left, so
Speaker 2: it's first come, first serve. When we're out, we're out,
Speaker 2: You're We launched it on Friday. Great reaction, So if
Speaker 2: you want to check that out at Dan Patrick dot com.
Speaker 2: See if we have anymore. I'm not sure. Stat of
Speaker 2: the Day brought to you by PENAI America, the official
Speaker 2: trading cards of the program, Best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 2: We will give you hours coming up in a little bit. Also,
Speaker 2: we'll hear from the Northern Illinois head coach Thomas Hammock
Speaker 2: as Northern Illinois Illinois. The Huskies beat Notre Dame. At
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, Andrew Whitworth, former Rams Pro Bowl tackle, will
Speaker 2: join us coming up as well. Watching Matthew Stafford last
Speaker 2: night fourth quarter, maybe we didn't appreciate him as much
Speaker 2: as we should have. And maybe you had these rookie
Speaker 2: quarterbacks who are talking about Matthew Stafford, like they're not
Speaker 2: talking about Mahomes, they're not talking about Aaron Rodgers, and
Speaker 2: they're probably what ten years old, and they're watching Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, now they're in the league.
Speaker 2: And you got Caleb Williams saying, man that that dude's
Speaker 2: a baller, c J. Stroud saying Matthew Stafford is a
Speaker 2: ball Like that's what's really interesting. Their view of him
Speaker 2: is that guy that's who I want to play.
Speaker 7: Like, Yeah, Paul, by the way, seat and I were
Speaker 7: talk about it. I think the Detroit Lions have a
Speaker 7: competitive advantage with their uniforms. They wear the blue jersey
Speaker 7: with the blue pants with no stripe, and they've got
Speaker 7: a silver helmet. Stafford threw a pick in the end
Speaker 7: zone and they announce us. How could he not see
Speaker 7: Brian Branch whoever was he goes because he looks like
Speaker 7: a blueberry and a blueberry patch.
Speaker 4: The end zone's blue, the player's blue.
Speaker 7: It's hard to find the Lions defenders in the end zone.
Speaker 4: The walls surrounding the field.
Speaker 5: That's true.
Speaker 4: Everything is the exact same shade of blue.
Speaker 5: Well, didn't we have that with oise?
Speaker 4: And like college football?
Speaker 5: Sooise? And then what about the red field? Eastern Washington, Eastern.
Speaker 4: Washington, Eastern Washington, they're classic.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 2: He's Andrew Marshawn, the athletic and your sports media columnist,
Speaker 2: and he's got a podcast, twice weekly podcast and it's
Speaker 2: Andrewmarshatt dot com to learn more about covering this goofy
Speaker 2: business we call sports media. All Right, if you're going
Speaker 2: to give Tom Brady a grade, what would the grade
Speaker 2: be with his debut yesterday?
Speaker 9: Go C plus probably?
Speaker 10: Now, it depends how you want to look at it.
Speaker 10: If you're just grading him as a number one analyst
Speaker 10: three hundred and seventy five million dollars and that's the level,
Speaker 10: then it's lower because it wasn't great. But the way
Speaker 10: I look at it is you have to give a
Speaker 10: little bit of a curve here for his first game,
Speaker 10: it's a learning experience.
Speaker 9: He's never done it. A lot of rehearsals, but never
Speaker 9: done it live.
Speaker 10: And then when we get to the super Bowl, when
Speaker 10: I do my super Bowl column, after that, there's no curve.
Speaker 9: That's where if you sound like a rookie during the.
Speaker 10: Super Bowl, you're probably not going to put the column
Speaker 10: I write the next day on your refrigerator.
Speaker 2: And he is so well known and we've heard from him,
Speaker 2: we've seen him. It's, you know, twenty years plus. Whereas
Speaker 2: Greg Olsen, people didn't know what Greg Olson sounded like.
Speaker 2: We know Brady and how he sounds, and it just
Speaker 2: felt like Tom was trying to be too perfect instead
Speaker 2: of like he's got to understand TV and it's not football.
Speaker 2: He knows that, but understanding how to incorporate his football
Speaker 2: knowledge into fifteen seconds. That's the tricky part that separates,
Speaker 2: you know, the good from the great.
Speaker 10: Yeah, cant he just be kind of a dude watching
Speaker 10: the game. I think when you look at Romo got
Speaker 10: out of the gate really fast. That was the reason why,
Speaker 10: because he was really relaxed on the air, and you
Speaker 10: could tell Brady was sort of thinking a lot. It
Speaker 10: seemed pretty obvious Micah Parsons was going to be a
Speaker 10: point of emphasis for him. He kept circling on and
Speaker 10: then kind of stopping his thought. His syntax was stilted,
Speaker 10: and so you got to get to a point where
Speaker 10: you're just relax. You'd have Kevin Burkhart, who's a really
Speaker 10: who's a guy who wants to make his analysts better,
Speaker 10: so he's gonna set them up and try to, you know,
Speaker 10: have him be successful.
Speaker 9: But it's comfort. It's because it's different. And I think
Speaker 9: the one thing that I think was a little bit of.
Speaker 10: A red flag if I'm Fox, is that the set
Speaker 10: pieces that he did first on Saturday during the college
Speaker 10: football game Texas Michigan and then in the pregame, they
Speaker 10: weren't great.
Speaker 9: And those are the ones where you know you're you.
Speaker 10: Know this Dan, it's very set up right, you can
Speaker 10: plan what you're gonna say, and what he said just
Speaker 10: wasn't It wasn't detailed enough, it wasn't specific enough. It's
Speaker 10: had more like a player as opposed to an analyst,
Speaker 10: and that's where you know he can mature in this job.
Speaker 10: But that's a little bit to me like, ooh, is
Speaker 10: it there. Like, I'm not saying it's not. I personally
Speaker 10: think he's gonna probably grow in this job. But that
Speaker 10: was a little bit of a red flag.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, for twenty years he went to press
Speaker 2: conferences trying not to tell you something. Now you have
Speaker 2: to tell me something. Now he has to act like
Speaker 2: he's quarterbacking. He's got to see the game that way.
Speaker 2: That's what we want from him.
Speaker 11: Now.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying go Romo, but I'm saying, you got
Speaker 2: to be somewhere in the vicinity or the neighborhood of
Speaker 2: I'm excited about this all. You know, there's nothing wrong
Speaker 2: with off Mike saying something. If Kevin Burkhardt's making a
Speaker 2: call like be excited, be in the moment, because when
Speaker 2: he played the position, he was excited. He's got to
Speaker 2: be more like on his toes, like into it instead
Speaker 2: of waiting, you know, for something to happen. You can
Speaker 2: hear his producer in his ear a couple of times
Speaker 2: where he just he needs to there has to be
Speaker 2: a little bit more synchronicity there with his thoughts. Get
Speaker 2: him out, say something, don't try to be perfect.
Speaker 10: I agree, but it's also comfort level, because I think
Speaker 10: a lot of times what's lost, especially in a situation
Speaker 10: like Brady, where you know there could be all kinds
Speaker 10: of stories. He clearly did this because the check was
Speaker 10: so large, right, he'd said on the record that he
Speaker 10: has no interest in doing this. They offered him through
Speaker 10: an seventy five million dollars for ten years.
Speaker 9: He did it. It's Tom Brady. It is a big
Speaker 9: deal and if he's good, it will be additive.
Speaker 10: That said, guys like Tom Brady don't dream about calling
Speaker 10: the Super Bowl. They dream about winning the Super Bowl.
Speaker 10: So they watch games differently than you and I where
Speaker 10: we kind of pay attention to the announcers. The announcers
Speaker 10: are always trending on social media, especially X guys like
Speaker 10: him generally speaking, and I'm not saying it's possible that
Speaker 10: he does. You mentioned Johnny Miller during his podcast that
Speaker 10: was somebody he thought he might be like. He was
Speaker 10: nothing like Johnny Miller yesterday. But that's something you have
Speaker 10: to learn. If you're not comfortable doing that, and you're
Speaker 10: not comfortable when do I get in?
Speaker 9: When do I get out?
Speaker 10: Which they've practiced and thoughts has already shown that they
Speaker 10: know how to teach a player off the field to
Speaker 10: be good with Greg Olsen. But it's still it got
Speaker 10: to be instinctive. It can't be like ooh, I'm supposed
Speaker 10: to do this.
Speaker 9: It's too fast to do that.
Speaker 2: All right, direct TV ESPN summarize the situation and any
Speaker 2: hope on the horizon.
Speaker 10: I mean, I think tonight's the big night, Monday Night football,
Speaker 10: that's Jets San Francisco.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 10: And you know, DirecTV, if you're going to do a deal,
Speaker 10: you do it before Monday Night football because uh, there's
Speaker 10: gonna be this is where people really start to get
Speaker 10: rid of your service.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 9: And so I mean this is where we're going.
Speaker 10: I think ultimately it gets settled, and ultimately DirecTV does
Speaker 10: get what it wants in terms of what it wants
Speaker 10: to do is sell what they call skinny bundles, which
Speaker 10: is you know, smaller packages. You know, forever ESPN has
Speaker 10: been on basic cable, and you know, it's it was
Speaker 10: worth the most and it you know, like the bundle
Speaker 10: actually was better than people thought, dating back for a
Speaker 10: long time. But now they want to be able to
Speaker 10: offer just here sports, here's entertainment. And Disney of course
Speaker 10: wants just to be on basic beyond every cable but
Speaker 10: for direct TV, and you know their thoughts. For them
Speaker 10: to survive, they got to be able to compete with
Speaker 10: the netflixes and with ESPN going direct to consumer next year,
Speaker 10: and then if they can start their new service, Venue Sports,
Speaker 10: which is with Fox Sports and Warner Brothers, Discovery, T
Speaker 10: and T Sports.
Speaker 9: So that's what's I think.
Speaker 10: Ultimately they get their number, the number stays high for
Speaker 10: their their affiliates, and then they're allowed Directivi's allowed to
Speaker 10: do these smaller services.
Speaker 2: Talking to Andrew Marshawn, the Athletic Senior sports media columnist,
Speaker 2: I brought this up when I realized that the NFL
Speaker 2: was going to push for eighteen games, that I could
Speaker 2: see the commissioner taking those eighteen, you know, those extra games,
Speaker 2: and they're all international. So you're telling, you know, these teams,
Speaker 2: you're going to get X number of home games and
Speaker 2: then try to set up shop around the world. We're
Speaker 2: going to go global here. Rich Eisen said this on
Speaker 2: his show. He could see the international games being sold
Speaker 2: separately as a package deal. Are we headed in that
Speaker 2: direction in your opinion?
Speaker 9: I mean, it's really kind of amazing.
Speaker 10: If the NFL was like really greedy and went for
Speaker 10: more money, I'd be like a kind.
Speaker 9: Of a new thing. I guess it's possible.
Speaker 10: They have one hundred and ten billion dollars worth of
Speaker 10: agreements already with the major networks and Amazon, so yeah,
Speaker 10: like they'll sell. So I always say this, the NFL
Speaker 10: is the best. AT's selling you a pizza and they say, oh,
Speaker 10: you know what, there's a little clause in here. That
Speaker 10: half eaten pizza that you have, We're going to sell
Speaker 10: to somebody else now for you know, a couple of
Speaker 10: more billion. So the idea of that happening seems very
Speaker 10: plausible to me.
Speaker 2: Any other sports media topics that we should be aware.
Speaker 10: Of, and you know, I think NFL, you know, we
Speaker 10: got the Netflix coming up during Christmas is an interesting
Speaker 10: story to watch.
Speaker 9: And the NBA deal that just went down. I think
Speaker 9: when you look.
Speaker 10: At what the future of media is, I think there's
Speaker 10: something that's misunderstood by the general public.
Speaker 9: In my opinion, this is what it's going to be
Speaker 9: in terms of lot of sports. This is where your
Speaker 9: sports are.
Speaker 10: Going to be on Because the only real big deal
Speaker 10: that's coming up, you know, NFL could sell, like you
Speaker 10: just said, like a sliver of deals. But basically this
Speaker 10: is what's gonna be until twenty nine when they can
Speaker 10: opt out and then their contracts go for eleven years
Speaker 10: if they don't opt out. Is that the NBA just
Speaker 10: got done. UFC is out there, But this is where
Speaker 10: Amazon is the new player. If you want to talk
Speaker 10: about who's gonna fight ESPN for the future of, you know,
Speaker 10: of being the most dominant, it's probably Amazon. They already
Speaker 10: have NBA, they already have NFL. They're trying to get
Speaker 10: local rights in terms of the baseball football, I mean, baseball, hockey,
Speaker 10: and NBA. So I think Amazon verus ESPN is kind
Speaker 10: of like our emerging matchup.
Speaker 9: In terms of the in the sports media game.
Speaker 5: Was ESPN gonna buy NFL network?
Speaker 10: I mean they've had talks, but right now those are stalled.
Speaker 10: Now could they restart again?
Speaker 9: It's possible.
Speaker 10: The NFL has tried to sell NFL media for a
Speaker 10: long time and they never do it. You know, the
Speaker 10: NFL is used to being in every negotiation where it's like,
Speaker 10: this is what we're gonna do, and this is how
Speaker 10: we're gonna do it. You know, That's why it didn't
Speaker 10: really work out with Apple and Sunday ticket because Apple
Speaker 10: is the same way they're used to just telling people
Speaker 10: what to do and everyone wants to say yes. And
Speaker 10: so it's not right now, installed not happening at the moment.
Speaker 10: Could happen eventually still, I think possible, but maybe not
Speaker 10: probable at this point.
Speaker 5: Good stuff, great to talk to you. Thank you, Andrew.
Speaker 2: Thanks then, Andrew Marsha, the Athletic Senior sports media columnist. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I never understood the NFL has so much money. But
Speaker 2: then they stripped down NFL Network and I know they're
Speaker 2: stripping it down they want to sell it. But still,
Speaker 2: when they were going to get rid of Good Morning Football,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, why, they did a great job with
Speaker 2: that show, and you would think you would want to
Speaker 2: have these, you know, signature shows, and you know, I'm
Speaker 2: watching NFL Network and all of a sudden, it just
Speaker 2: here's another replay of a game. I'm thinking, spend some
Speaker 2: money because they were going to get rid of Good
Speaker 2: Morning Football. That was on the that was on the
Speaker 2: cutting room floor. It felt like and it's a good show.
Speaker 2: Successful and then but what do I know, you know,
Speaker 2: just in the air with four dan nets and who
Speaker 2: knows what do I know, all right, Well, it.
Speaker 3: Seemed like a business that has enough money to do that, though,
Speaker 3: I would think I mean like I would think that
Speaker 3: that would And.
Speaker 7: How do you sell NFL Network to someone else? You
Speaker 7: are the NFL and it's the NFL there the NFL
Speaker 7: Network brought to you by Hulu. I mean, what would
Speaker 7: be called you lose control of the product and the content.
Speaker 5: I have no idea.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it would be like NBC owns Golf Channel.
Speaker 2: It's still stay you know, it's a standalone but I
Speaker 2: don't know if it's Yes, it would still be NFL Network.
Speaker 2: I'm guessing you would just be owned and probably staffed
Speaker 2: by ESPN.
Speaker 3: ESPN would be so happy to finally get a bunch
Speaker 3: of NFL shows ready to go.
Speaker 4: Finally the coverage we've.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we want to add thirteen more NFL shows.
Speaker 5: We'll take a break.
Speaker 2: We'll talk to the head coach of Northern Illinois after
Speaker 2: the big surprise at South Bend against Notre Dame. More

Speaker 13: Happy Monday, DT, Dane, Salute the commanders.
Speaker 14: Man.
Speaker 13: Well, we know one thing for sure about Washington, Man,
Speaker 13: same old Washington. A lot of hype but little results.
Speaker 13: Although JD looks like he might be something, but he's
Speaker 13: got to deliver from the pocket. Man, I got quite
Speaker 13: a few things. Man. Shout out to my man, gives
Speaker 13: them Virginia Man and my boy Gavin. We got up yesterday.
Speaker 13: Sent the photo into Tyler. Man so great, great time
Speaker 13: watching all the games. Man and I got a lot
Speaker 13: to talk about real quick. The Bengals now the Bungals. Man,
Speaker 13: some overhyped Cardinals. Man could be a playoff team this year.
Speaker 13: Looking really good. Josh Allen's still great even without all
Speaker 13: the weapons. Barkley a game changer for the Eagles. Dalla's defense, unfortunately,
Speaker 13: is for real. Jay still don't know how to close
Speaker 13: Tyreek Hill is still past, and the Chiefs are still
Speaker 13: the team to beat. Man, y'all have a great date.
Speaker 13: Man again, shout out to my man Gibb and gab Man.
Speaker 13: Y'all have a great date.
Speaker 5: Thank you, James, Thank you. There kind of summed everything up.
Speaker 4: I have to see that picture because I don't believe it.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Uh Sean and Florida. Hi Sean, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 8: Good morning, Dan Patrick and the boy six three one eighty.
Speaker 15: Best to work and a quick start.
Speaker 1: Of the day.
Speaker 8: The best is going to be Baker Mayfield the three
Speaker 8: year in a row NFC champion Bucks. I'm willing to
Speaker 8: take a pie in the face bet anyone wants to
Speaker 8: take anybody winning the NFC South over the Bucks. Baker
Speaker 8: Mayfield and Mike Evans looking a best bang for the buck,
Speaker 8: not on rookie contract. Baker Mayfield's got to be looking good.
Speaker 8: One hundred million dollars we gave him looks like it's
Speaker 8: paying off for those four touchdowns. My worst of the
Speaker 8: weekend is going to be CBS cutting away from the
Speaker 8: Jalen Watt and Tyreek Hill celebration right as he was
Speaker 8: getting handcuffed and walked away by Jaylen Watto. That was
Speaker 8: a missed entertaining factor. I really wish they would have
Speaker 8: shown that on TV. Had to watch it on the internet,
Speaker 8: but it was still amazing. And my quick stat of
Speaker 8: the day Buccaneers have not scored an opening drive in
Speaker 8: twenty one straight games, but we made up for it
Speaker 8: by scoring on our first five sessions.
Speaker 5: Thank you, Sean, Thank you either way.
Speaker 2: Did you hear Jim Harball after the Chargers beat the Raiders,
Speaker 2: He had this to say, we got a lot of
Speaker 2: work to do.
Speaker 9: We've got a lot of work to do now, and
Speaker 9: you can't.
Speaker 1: You can't get more work done.
Speaker 16: You won't make as much progress in the entire season
Speaker 16: as you will from.
Speaker 6: Week one to week two.
Speaker 16: I'm telling you this, this is the week to attack.
Speaker 9: But you can't get the two it all without being
Speaker 9: one of those.
Speaker 2: They gave Harball the game ball. He's like, what, Oh,
Speaker 2: who's got it better than we do?
Speaker 14: No?
Speaker 2: Why maybe that was great?
Speaker 14: Uh?
Speaker 2: You know who's got it better than the Chargers do?
Speaker 2: Northern Illinois after the win segue. This is how it
Speaker 2: sounded at the end of the game. Is Northern Illinois
Speaker 2: beach Notre Dame at Notre Dame?
Speaker 9: Five seconds left and are you up? Sixteen fourteen sixty
Speaker 9: two yarder? Snap hoole Jeters kick.
Speaker 12: That's fucked.
Speaker 9: It's fucked.
Speaker 12: It's fucked.
Speaker 9: Pick up by YEA big up.
Speaker 17: Bye Huskies.
Speaker 14: I dot it.
Speaker 16: Buskies with the biggest upset NIU history.
Speaker 4: They come to South in Indiana.
Speaker 16: And they knock off the number five team in the country,
Speaker 16: n i U sixteen Notre Dame fourteen the footback odds,
Speaker 16: We're shining down.
Speaker 2: Northern Illinois was a twenty eight point underdog in the game,
Speaker 2: but somehow they pulled it off and their head coach
Speaker 2: Thomas Hammock joining us on the program. Coach, thanks for
Speaker 2: joining us. Congratulations. How would you describe the emotional roller
Speaker 2: coaster of Saturday's game?
Speaker 6: You know, it was unbelievable.
Speaker 18: You know, in the moment you thought back to all
Speaker 18: the things that we've done to build a program to
Speaker 18: what it was, and that was just the joy of
Speaker 18: our players getting a reward, the joy in their face.
Speaker 18: And so that was a really motion for me after
Speaker 18: that game because it was just an unbelievable experience. The
Speaker 18: kids believed they put the work in, and I was
Speaker 18: just a proud you know, for our program and our players.
Speaker 5: Take me into the locker room at halftime, I.
Speaker 18: Told the players, you know, this is right where we
Speaker 18: wanted to be, This is right where we expected to be.
Speaker 18: You know, we are a physical football team, so the
Speaker 18: physicality never bothershed me. You know, we're big on the
Speaker 18: office of the beefs, the blind, and so all week
Speaker 18: I told them, you know, we're going to be where
Speaker 18: we want to be in this game from a physical
Speaker 18: standpoint if we handle the environment early and our first
Speaker 18: kickoff return we let the ball bounce and got the
Speaker 18: ball at the two yard line. I thought, hey, this
Speaker 18: has a chance to get away from us, but they
Speaker 18: stayed in a fight. And when we got the halftime,
Speaker 18: I said, listen, and we win one half of football,
Speaker 18: we win the game. And we were able to get
Speaker 18: that done.
Speaker 2: But you're telling these kids there in South Bend playing
Speaker 2: against Notre Dame, most of them probably didn't even get
Speaker 2: recruited by Notre Dame, and you got to quiet them
Speaker 2: down a little, calm them down a little bit, but
Speaker 2: you still want them to be fired up. So how
Speaker 2: do you walk that tightrope there?
Speaker 18: Yeah, you know, the night before the game, I talked
Speaker 18: to them, I said, listen, the rocket Ismael.
Speaker 6: Is not running down that tunnel.
Speaker 18: And by the look on they face, I realized they
Speaker 18: had no idea who I was talking about. So then
Speaker 18: I had to take it a step further. I said,
Speaker 18: you know, Joe Montana, Ricky Waters, Jerome Bettis and so
Speaker 18: they understood those guys, but I guess what I want
Speaker 18: and then to understand was we were playing the twenty
Speaker 18: twenty four Notre Dame team. We're not playing the nostalgia
Speaker 18: of Notre Dame. And they stayed in a moment from
Speaker 18: that standpoint, and I was happy to see it.
Speaker 5: You should have showed them the movie Rudy, you know what.
Speaker 18: I thought about that early in the week, But then
Speaker 18: I thought Rudy came out when I was a kid,
Speaker 18: so I know for sure.
Speaker 6: You know, they have no idea what we was about.
Speaker 5: It hits you right after the game.
Speaker 19: You got emotional, Yes, you know, because I talked to
Speaker 19: our team before the season about the breakthrough and I
Speaker 19: told them a bamboo takes five years to break through
Speaker 19: the surface, and when it breaks through the surface, it
Speaker 19: grows ninety feet.
Speaker 6: Well, this is our sixth year.
Speaker 18: We've done a lot of watering and a lot of
Speaker 18: you know, getting these guys to mature, and that felt
Speaker 18: like we started to break through at that moment, and
Speaker 18: I was just, you know, flush with a wave of
Speaker 18: emotion that was unexpected. I'm normally not an emotional guy
Speaker 18: in that capacity, but I thought about all the players
Speaker 18: that have been a part of helping us build it,
Speaker 18: all the coaches that have been a part of helping
Speaker 18: us build it, and it was a great moment.
Speaker 2: What it feels like the college football nation is surprised.
Speaker 2: It doesn't feel like you're surprised you beat Notre Dame
Speaker 2: at Notre Dame.
Speaker 6: No, I wasn't surprised.
Speaker 18: And to take it a step further, you know, I
Speaker 18: meet with my staff on a you know, game day
Speaker 18: in the mornings and I told him, I said, listen,
Speaker 18: I had a dream we were gonna win this game
Speaker 18: by a field goal. I know, I said, I had
Speaker 18: a dream the game was gonna come down to a
Speaker 18: field goal. And I said, I woke up, so I
Speaker 18: can't tell you what happened. I'm not I'm not that
Speaker 18: I'm not that good, but I had a dream that
Speaker 18: it came down to a field goal. In the week before,
Speaker 18: we had some issues on you know, extra point, and
Speaker 18: so I had that nervousness going about me.
Speaker 6: But I'm glad it turned out the way it did.
Speaker 2: Thomas Hammock, the Northern Illinois head coach, You got a
Speaker 2: bye week this week?
Speaker 5: Do you wish you were playing? Are you glad you
Speaker 5: got to buy it?
Speaker 13: Oh?
Speaker 6: I am glad. I am glad we have a bye week.
Speaker 18: First of all, you know, obviously I've grown up watching you,
Speaker 18: but like doing these type of things, it wouldn't be possible.
Speaker 18: We had a game this week and getting our players
Speaker 18: offer the emotional hide that they've been on. This is
Speaker 18: a great week we got, we got improvement practices, so
Speaker 18: we really can lock them back in as a coaching
Speaker 18: staff to get them ready for you know, our next game.
Speaker 2: Did anybody surprise you reaching out after you beat Notre Dame.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm a huge Yankees fan. Huge. I grew up
Speaker 6: in Jersey City, New Jersey, and Aaron Boone texted me.
Speaker 18: Sunday morning and you I mean, you know, for me,
Speaker 18: that was you know, you can you know, that was
Speaker 18: just an unbelievable text from him. You know, he's in
Speaker 18: season for him to do that, and uh, you know,
Speaker 18: being from the East Coast and listen that that that
Speaker 18: that one got me.
Speaker 5: What did Coach Freeman say to you after the game?
Speaker 6: You know, he was very complimentary.
Speaker 18: You know, I had a chance to talk to him
Speaker 18: before the game and just told him, you know how
Speaker 18: five I was of him and you know, having an
Speaker 18: opportunity to leave that program.
Speaker 6: Uh, and he was, you know, my first time meeting him.
Speaker 6: I don't know him at all, and he was very
Speaker 6: down on earth, very humble. You know, you figure, guys,
Speaker 6: the head coach, you know, the Dame.
Speaker 18: He don't have to talk to me, but for him
Speaker 18: to take time to speak to me, and then obviously
Speaker 18: after the game he was very complimentary, which I thought
Speaker 18: was pretty cool.
Speaker 5: Did Notre Dame recruit you?
Speaker 18: Oh no, No, I wasn't. I wasn't Notre Dame material
Speaker 18: from a football standpoint. I was not the day material
Speaker 18: from an academic standpoint. But from a football standpoint, I
Speaker 18: wasn't close.
Speaker 2: Uh, you gotta gotta bring him back down to earth
Speaker 2: today practice.
Speaker 18: Yeah, you know, we gotta buy a week. I get
Speaker 18: him a couple of days off. I'm from there. I'm
Speaker 18: from the NFL, right, and so you know, if you
Speaker 18: win going into it by you give him some more
Speaker 18: time off. If you lose, you get them back on
Speaker 18: the practice. So, uh, you know, I gave him a
Speaker 18: couple of days to get themselves back. But you know,
Speaker 18: I'm looking at these emails about academics, so I'm on that,
Speaker 18: you know, guys turning in work and different things like that,
Speaker 18: because we are we are coaches and teachers, and that's
Speaker 18: still a part of the job.
Speaker 2: Congrats, I know it's a long time coming. You've done
Speaker 2: a great job there with your alma mater, and uh,
Speaker 2: don't screw it up the rest of the season.
Speaker 6: All right, thank you, I appreciate that.
Speaker 5: Thank you, coach, thank you, and go Husky.
Speaker 2: Thomas Ammick Northern Illinois head coach. Now he used to
Speaker 2: be the Ravens running back coach. He also ran for
Speaker 2: one thousand yards in two different seasons when he played
Speaker 2: at Northern Illinois. But that's fun. And you know what
Speaker 2: sometimes we bring out I do this with my kids,
Speaker 2: all bring up references. They have no idea who I'm
Speaker 2: talking about.
Speaker 5: So here he is trying to fire up his kids.
Speaker 2: Rocket Ismail's not coming out of the tunnel, and then
Speaker 2: they're looking at him like, we don't know who rocket
Speaker 2: Ismail is. Joe Montana is not coming out there?
Speaker 4: Was he good or something?
Speaker 5: Or who? Who's it? Jerome Bettist?
Speaker 4: Was that his real first name? Rocket?
Speaker 2: And then you know, do you bring up Rudy like
Speaker 2: I don't know and he's like, they don't even know
Speaker 2: Rudy came out when he was a kid. Give these
Speaker 2: references sometimes, and we do this. We're guilty of this.
Speaker 2: I'll bring up a reference. Todd does it all the time.
Speaker 2: You bring up a reference from the eighties and it
Speaker 2: probably goes right over the head of you know, members
Speaker 2: of the audience.
Speaker 20: Gip Lockwood, good picture with the Mets.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 4: I think most of our audience was alive in the eighties.
Speaker 8: Do you think that?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not sure we really have to worry about.
Speaker 2: That, Okay, Yeah, with our references here, yeah, I think
Speaker 2: we're okay.
Speaker 5: You know, you're trying to give that great speech.
Speaker 2: Rocket is brothers that Joe mauntin at ten is not
Speaker 2: coming out of there. You know, you're getting them all
Speaker 2: fired up, and they look at you like, who's Tony right,
Speaker 2: who's Lou Holtz?
Speaker 5: No, the guy who says they put their pants on
Speaker 5: shame way way, dudes, is he a quarterback?
Speaker 14: Or oh.
Speaker 4: Were those guys good? Or why would we know that
Speaker 4: the rocket?
Speaker 2: Let's see Dukes in Washington? Hey, Dukes, what's on your
Speaker 2: mind today?
Speaker 15: I wanted to tell you I had three worst of
Speaker 15: the weekend, but now moved to five. I got first
Speaker 15: my Colts losing. I've got second, I thought Tom Brady
Speaker 15: was gone being a Colt fan, and then third, I
Speaker 15: thought Chris Collinsworth was getting ready to retire, and here
Speaker 15: comes his son. It sounds exactly like him, and then
Speaker 15: i got Notre Dame Mousing, and then I've got my
Speaker 15: direct TV loose in the games, and I'm just kind
Speaker 15: of mad that I spent the four to fifty on
Speaker 15: the Sunday ticket. Right now, do with that which you
Speaker 15: will have a good day, guys.
Speaker 2: Alrighty dukes, keep your hat out there, Jeff and Austin.
Speaker 5: Hi, Jeff, what's on your mine?
Speaker 6: Hey?
Speaker 14: Dan?
Speaker 11: This is Jeff, first time caller, a longtime listener. Uh,
Speaker 11: six ' to two in a hearty to sixty five.
Speaker 11: Got a best and the worst, and a stat of
Speaker 11: the day. The best was the Longhorn stumping Michigan up
Speaker 11: in ann Arbor, and uh, the worst was I sat
Speaker 11: xab you're worthy and Baker Mayfield on my bench in
Speaker 11: my fantasy league. That kind of killed me a little bit.
Speaker 11: But saut of the day, Quinn yours is the only
Speaker 11: quarterback in college history to beat Alabama at home and
Speaker 11: Michigan at ann Arbor, and he beat them both by
Speaker 11: double digits.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 20: Statu the Day Statu the day stat of the day,
Speaker 20: Statu the day Statu to day stat Today Statu the.
Speaker 2: Day stat stat of the Day, Brought you by Panini
Speaker 2: America the official trading cards of the program. Texas the
Speaker 2: first school to beat Michigan and Alabama on the road
Speaker 2: in consecutive seasons. Notre Dame did that back in nineteen
Speaker 2: seventy nine and nineteen eighty.
Speaker 5: Paul and Iowa. Hi, Paul, Hey, well seating first.
Speaker 14: Before I get to my best and worst of the weekend,
Speaker 14: you said most of your audience was alive in the eighties.
Speaker 14: I how about instead of height and late, let's get
Speaker 14: a ding for nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 5: Thank you, Paul.
Speaker 14: Best of the weekend. It is a cyclone state. Here
Speaker 14: go Iowa state. All is what it should be, No,
Speaker 14: Brian Farrens, no problem. Worst of the weekend, check on
Speaker 14: your buddy, because in the largest eliminator challenge in the
Speaker 14: world on the Mothership, three out of ten people pick
Speaker 14: the Cincinnati Bengals to win in week one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw that it was close to forty percent
Speaker 2: of people in these what are they suicide pools where
Speaker 2: you have to or you know, elimination where you got
Speaker 2: to pick a winner every week, and people pick Cincinnati
Speaker 2: over New England start the season. I mean that is
Speaker 2: a smart pick, but you know you're out one and done.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll take a break, we'll come back. We
Speaker 2: will give you our best and worst to the weekend.
Speaker 1: Right after this, be sure to catch the live edition
Speaker 1: of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern
Speaker 1: six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: Time for the Dan Nets to give you their best
Speaker 2: and worst to the weekend. By the way, if you're
Speaker 2: watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the AUMP to
Speaker 2: watch the program. The interesting games, we should look ahead,
Speaker 2: and I know we got Jets and the Niners coming up,
Speaker 2: but the interest game coming up next weekend. Caleb Williams
Speaker 2: versus CJ.
Speaker 5: Stroun.
Speaker 2: This is where you go. Now we can kind of
Speaker 2: measure them side by side. Might be too early for
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams to be put in that position, but that's
Speaker 2: week two, one of the games.
Speaker 6: And c J.
Speaker 2: Stroud look good, Look good, look comfortable, like decisive. That's
Speaker 2: what you want a lot of times. And you could
Speaker 2: see this with all three rookies who started at quarterback
Speaker 2: over the weekend. You're indecisive and you can't be. It's
Speaker 2: got to be. I'm going there, I'm going there. It's
Speaker 2: when they start to think, and then you think you
Speaker 2: can run your way out of trouble because you can
Speaker 2: see Caleb Williams a couple of times going out. I
Speaker 2: used to do this at USC all the two Oh whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 2: These guys are really fast now, Jaden Daniels, Hey, I
Speaker 2: used to do this at LSU and Arizona State. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I can still, I can still do it. He might
Speaker 2: rush for a thousand yards. I don't want that if
Speaker 2: I'm a commander's fan. And then with bo Nicks, you
Speaker 2: could see him he was thinking and then all of
Speaker 2: a sudden got picked off a couple of times. But
Speaker 2: we've seen debuts before and this is what we do.
Speaker 2: And it's not really fair because fair comparison. If I
Speaker 2: go back and I go, yeah, but Peyton Manning was
Speaker 2: terrible as rookie year or John Elway he wasn't good,
Speaker 2: or we can run down the list. It was a
Speaker 2: different game than it is now with these quarterbacks who
Speaker 2: come in ready to play. They're running pro style offenses.
Speaker 2: And you know, Peyton and John are you know, two
Speaker 2: of the ten greatest quarterbacks of all time. It's a
Speaker 2: learning process. Some get it. It clicks once again, remember
Speaker 2: c J. Stround wasn't good at making decisions at the
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage. Whoever leaked that out embarrassing that they
Speaker 2: did it. You know, it's a character assassination as if
Speaker 2: he's not smart enough to process. That's really what they're saying.
Speaker 2: And we've seen c J. Stroud's really good. And I
Speaker 2: don't know if Bryce Young is ever going to have
Speaker 2: the opportunity to be good because I'm watching and it
Speaker 2: wasn't pretty. But you know, it's a it's a team effort.
Speaker 2: That wasn't pretty at all. I mean the Saints. Who
Speaker 2: would have thought there were people who thought that that
Speaker 2: Wait nobody, Yeah, you're watching and you go, okay. It
Speaker 2: just with Carolina it feels systemic like this, this isn't
Speaker 2: getting anywhere anytime soon. And with Bryce Young, when you're
Speaker 2: the number one pick, when you you trade up to
Speaker 2: get him, oh boy, Now it's not as bad a
Speaker 2: trade as Deshaun Watson, you know that Cleveland made with
Speaker 2: the Texans. I mean, that might be historically the worst
Speaker 2: trade in NFL history. It might play out that way,
Speaker 2: but if Caleb Williams becomes a Hall of Famer, you
Speaker 2: I mean, they got an awful lot in that trade.
Speaker 2: So Bryce Young can't be just good. Bryce Young has
Speaker 2: got to be great. But CJ. Stroud being really good
Speaker 2: bordering on great makes it even worse, all right, Todd
Speaker 2: Best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 20: I think Bryce's first pass attempt was an interception. By
Speaker 20: the way yesterday three, we'll have to advance start immediately.
Speaker 5: Yeah, best of the weekend.
Speaker 20: We just spoke with him. The postgame emotions of Northern
Speaker 20: Illinois head coach Thomas Hammock after his Husky stun. Number
Speaker 20: five not number five anymore, Notre Dame in South Bend.
Speaker 20: Worst of the weekend co worst Michigan and Colorado two
Speaker 20: games I was really looking forward to watching, and Texas
Speaker 20: and Nebraska just manhandled them.
Speaker 5: And I hope Nebraska gets some attention here.
Speaker 2: I've mentioned it a couple times because with Dion, if
Speaker 2: they win, they get credit. If they lose, you know
Speaker 2: they're going to be a focal point as well. But Nebraska,
Speaker 2: to me, was the story. I was really impressed with
Speaker 2: Nebraska and the atmosphere. It almost felt like there's a
Speaker 2: rebirth there of Nebraska football.
Speaker 5: Satan Best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 3: My best of the weekend is actually the Cowboys. I'm
Speaker 3: happy with what they did. They wrapped up Deck, took
Speaker 3: care CD Micah will get to you when we need to.
Speaker 3: But now you just get out there, you play football.
Speaker 3: They beat the Browns like they were supposed to do.
Speaker 3: Those all feel like very positive moves to me. And
Speaker 3: they finally made a decision on Deck too, like just
Speaker 3: either you know, do it or get off the pot
Speaker 3: kind of thing, and they did great, fantastic. My worst
Speaker 3: of the weekend is I think it was the Cardinals'
Speaker 3: final drive of the game. They're losing, and it's like,
Speaker 3: this is you can make it happen here, right, this
Speaker 3: is let's see what Kyler's got. He hits a wide
Speaker 3: receiver at about thirty thirty five yards out that hits
Speaker 3: him right in the chest, but the dude pulls up
Speaker 3: and because he doesn't want to get hits, he drops that.
Speaker 3: Kyler then misses a wide open Marvin Harrison Junior in
Speaker 3: the end zone.
Speaker 4: That wasn't great.
Speaker 3: They decided for some reason to run a draw like
Speaker 3: or run up the middle at on third and ten,
Speaker 3: which is a very surprising decision. There was two missed
Speaker 3: pass interference calls THEREK, yeah, I saw that one that
Speaker 3: was definitely One of them might not have been, but
Speaker 3: one of them definitely was. It was like everything that
Speaker 3: could have possibly gone wrong in that drive one by
Speaker 3: one actually did where everybody let each other down. There
Speaker 3: was a bad play call, a bad miss by the quarterback,
Speaker 3: a massive drop by a wide receiver, and two miss
Speaker 3: calls by the ref. It's like, man, how does all
Speaker 3: of that happen in just one drive?
Speaker 5: But and Josh Allen, he had a couple of moments there.
Speaker 17: Good stuff, Marvin, Get out of my head, DP, Josh Allen,
Speaker 17: that's my best of the weekend. Two rushing touchdowns, two
Speaker 17: passing tds eighteen to twenty three thirty two yards and
Speaker 17: a comeback went over the Cardinals worse than weekend the
Speaker 17: New York Giants.
Speaker 5: I don't know what was worse, the uniforms or they're
Speaker 5: on their performance.
Speaker 2: Well, PAULI goes, wait, the Montreal Canadians are on the
Speaker 2: football field, and I go wait, Now I flip over
Speaker 2: and I go, oh my god, wow, you got to
Speaker 2: warn us, like there should be a fore warning that
Speaker 2: we're going to be wearing those jerseys. Maybe there was?
Speaker 2: What is this the one hundredth anniversary. Okay, yeah, Polm.
Speaker 7: But I think we decide if we like uniforms based
Speaker 7: off how good the team is. If the Giants had
Speaker 7: like forty points in one yesterday, they would have embraced
Speaker 7: those uniforms and say let's bring them back.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 7: It's like the Packers used to those throwbacks with the
Speaker 7: tan pants, and but the Packers were winning, so they're like, oh,
Speaker 7: these are pretty cool. The Giants unifors and helmets were
Speaker 7: I thought cool, but they stink the team.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't like the uniform.
Speaker 2: This is when they when they came out, I'm like, nope, nope, nope, no,
Speaker 2: don't like it. You know, the Steelers and Packers that
Speaker 2: built up some cachet, some house credit when they bring
Speaker 2: those throwback uniforms.
Speaker 5: And we're like, look at that, look at the backers,
Speaker 5: look at Steelers. Yes, marm.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 17: They had Lawrence Taylor go out with them. They had
Speaker 17: Eli Manning there, Phil Simms. They were ready to go.
Speaker 17: Let's go until the game started.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they weren't playing. Did you have a Oh that
Speaker 5: was my worst? Yeah? Okay, Paulie, Best and worst to.
Speaker 7: Best both college football. The Fun Game Oklahoma State versus Arkansas,
Speaker 7: double overtime. Arkansas had it and they let it go
Speaker 7: a number of times. Of course, Oklahoma State is led
Speaker 7: by Alan Bowman, their quarterback, I mean doctor Allan Bowman,
Speaker 7: seventh year, third team that's not to be out He
Speaker 7: outdoes a little bit. Another very good game was Boise
Speaker 7: States versus Oregon in Oatston Stadium thirty seven thirty four Oregon.
Speaker 7: Remember the Ducks are led by Dylan Gabriel, who was
Speaker 7: also on his third franchise. Dylan Gabriel uc for three years,
Speaker 7: then he brought his talents to Oklahoma. Now is at
Speaker 7: Oregon at age twenty three.
