Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour on this Wednesday, Bill Lawrence is
Speaker 1: going to join us. The Clemson quarterback Todd always smiles
Speaker 1: when I say it. His name is William Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 1: But we unearthed this yesterday. It's like, you know his
Speaker 1: real name. His first name is William. And I said,
Speaker 1: Bill Lawrence is not scaring any defenses, and now they
Speaker 1: would never have taken him that. I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. But Trevor Lawrence he'll join us
Speaker 1: coming up Age seven seven three d P Show email address,
Speaker 1: DPA dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show.
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, making his weekly pit stop on one oh
Speaker 1: five point three the Fan in Dallas, talked about he's
Speaker 1: fine with Mike McCarthy as his head coach. Not one
Speaker 1: time have I been in any discussion, had any dream
Speaker 1: been sitting by myself, have I given given a thought
Speaker 1: to anything but Mike McCarty being our coach next year
Speaker 1: and being our coach in the future, and the hell
Speaker 1: something like that could get going with a conversation with
Speaker 1: Steven or anybody else about with him a guard, he's
Speaker 1: going to be the coach or not is ridiculous. I
Speaker 1: give him credit that he's loyal, but I can be
Speaker 1: critical of him because he's loyal, because he'll stay with
Speaker 1: a coach far too long. Now, Mike McCarthy just got there.
Speaker 1: I don't think he should have gotten there in the
Speaker 1: first place. But he's there, and Jerry is going to
Speaker 1: be loyal. You start to factor in what can this
Speaker 1: team do. I thought it was a bad win that
Speaker 1: they had against Cincinnati. You know that now you're going
Speaker 1: to slip down in that first round. You know you
Speaker 1: can get an impact player. What kind of player do
Speaker 1: you want? Do you want to get into conversation with
Speaker 1: one of the top quarterbacks there? But they did beat Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: and it felt like that was a bad win for
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. Aaron Rodgers every Tuesday is on the
Speaker 1: Pat McAfee show and Aaron Rodgers, you know, they get
Speaker 1: into some great conversation. McAfee does a wonderful job. But
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers was asked about the label of being the
Speaker 1: greatest of all time. There's way too many people label
Speaker 1: the go to. This guy's the go to, this this
Speaker 1: guy is the go to that it used to be
Speaker 1: greatest of all time is one person. But now, because
Speaker 1: there's way too many goats, you have to break it
Speaker 1: out in the specific categories. Best winner of all time,
Speaker 1: person who's won the most championships, Best player you know,
Speaker 1: which involves talent and ability and what you did with it.
Speaker 1: Most talented player you know, best thrower of the football
Speaker 1: like that. It's all these different ways you can break
Speaker 1: that out. But when it comes to those, maybe not
Speaker 1: with j but when most people I'm probably in that conversation,
Speaker 1: I love it. He's right because you know, we've tried
Speaker 1: to bring in more quarterbacks into a conversation. Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: got more talent than anybody who's ever played the position. Well,
Speaker 1: is he the best quarterback of all time? May you've
Speaker 1: got his mom, You've got more talent than any other
Speaker 1: quarterback in NFL history. Let me ask the question again,
Speaker 1: Is he the best quarterback of all time? No, but
Speaker 1: he's the most talented quarterback of all time. Tom Brady
Speaker 1: is not high on the list of most talented quarterbacks
Speaker 1: to play the position, but he's the greatest of all time.
Speaker 1: Comes down to how many championships you win, plain and simple.
Speaker 1: Because I always thought John Elway was a better quarterback
Speaker 1: than Joe Montana and had no problem with Joe Montana
Speaker 1: being recognized as the greatest of all time. I just
Speaker 1: thought John did more with less than Montana. Did you know,
Speaker 1: you start to go, okay, let me factor this in
Speaker 1: or when they played or how much team how much
Speaker 1: team success did they have? How much talent did you have?
Speaker 1: Is it individual success? Is it teams success? And you
Speaker 1: start to go, okay, how can I include best quarterback
Speaker 1: six feet in under of all time? Well, Drew Brees
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, Nut's over right now until Russell Wilson maybe
Speaker 1: ten years from now, and then we'll put him in there. Yes, mclevit.
Speaker 1: I think we're judging what talent is throw away. It's
Speaker 1: not arm strength. It's the ability to process information, and
Speaker 1: that's what Montana and Brady are better at than everywhere.
Speaker 1: It's a mental position. You think that they're better than
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers at pros No, I think, but see, that's
Speaker 1: much a silly argument. If Brady is more talented in
Speaker 1: a way that we don't understand, like Balichick talks about,
Speaker 1: Brady can see the defense better than anybody, it's a
Speaker 1: different talent than be able to throw to eighty yards
Speaker 1: down field. Well, I think Peyton saw the defense better
Speaker 1: than anybody who's ever played that position. But that you know,
Speaker 1: he got one super Bowl and the other one he
Speaker 1: was along for the ride. I mean, there's so much
Speaker 1: If you look back on the Patriots success, how many
Speaker 1: things had to go right for them to win, like
Speaker 1: the tuck rule, that silly rule against the Raiders. If
Speaker 1: Vintari is not the most clutch kicker in the history
Speaker 1: of the game. By the way, Justin Tucker is going
Speaker 1: to join us on the program tomorrow, then they don't
Speaker 1: win these championships. Like, It's just it's crazy. If David
Speaker 1: Tyree doesn't hang onto that football, then the Patriots get
Speaker 1: another one. It's just you start to look at this
Speaker 1: and you go, there's so much luck that goes into this,
Speaker 1: and the difference of Tom Brady winning six or maybe
Speaker 1: winning four is not that big of a margin here, right,
Speaker 1: And if he wins four, but then he's lost these
Speaker 1: other ones, then is Montana better than I'm radious? Right?
Speaker 1: I Mean that's why you get into these conversations. I
Speaker 1: think Aaron Rodgers has made the position when he plays
Speaker 1: at a high level, which is normally year and in
Speaker 1: year out. Nobody makes it look easier. I've said that
Speaker 1: many times. I think that Dan Marino, as far as
Speaker 1: command running an offense, a spread offense, being able to
Speaker 1: throw the deep ball, throwing quick passes, being in the shotgun,
Speaker 1: is the best quarterback I've ever seen at doing that.
Speaker 1: But Rodgers makes it look extremely easy. Patrick Mahomes is
Speaker 1: entering that territory in a couple of years because he
Speaker 1: has that ability to make it look a lot easier
Speaker 1: than what it really is. I don't know if Mahomes
Speaker 1: will be like, Mahomes could be the most talented, but
Speaker 1: he may not have the most Super Bowls? Does that
Speaker 1: mean he's better than Tom Brady? Will have that discussion
Speaker 1: in fifteen years from now. But yeah, I agree with
Speaker 1: what Rogers is saying. You might be the best thrower
Speaker 1: of the football, or you're the best of this generation,
Speaker 1: or you're the best deep ball thrower or whatever it
Speaker 1: might be. But it's one of those conversations if you say, Okay,
Speaker 1: there's Alway, there's Montana, Brady, Aaron Rodgers, you first pick,
Speaker 1: who are you taking? Like, I don't mind having the
Speaker 1: fourth pick because there's so many great quarterbacks. Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: I love the conversation. And as Aaron Rodgers is saying,
Speaker 1: you know who's the most talented all time here, McBee,
Speaker 1: that'd be That'd be you. Who's the best armolf him?
Speaker 1: On Saturday, Aaron Rodgers can tie and break a pretty
Speaker 1: special record. He goes into the game. Yeah, they play
Speaker 1: on Saturday. Two thirteen career touchdown passes at Lambeau one
Speaker 1: behind Brett far two hundred and fourteen career touchdown passes
Speaker 1: at Lambeau Field. So it could be a pretty cool
Speaker 1: moment there for Aaron Rodgers. Greek Freak, he is all
Speaker 1: signed up, and I think if I'm the Miami Heat,
Speaker 1: I'm really disappointed. Maybe the Dallas Mavericks. I think the
Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks were at least in the conversation if the
Speaker 1: Greek Freak was leaving. I think state income tax was
Speaker 1: an issue. Well, that was a possibility of exploring with
Speaker 1: Miami and Texas, Florida and Texas. And I think the
Speaker 1: Miami Heat may start to up the anti a little
Speaker 1: bit and look into the James Harden situation here. But
Speaker 1: Greek Freak five years, He'll be thirty one when this
Speaker 1: deal is done, and he'll get another Max deal after that.
Speaker 1: James Harden made his preseason debut last night, and if
Speaker 1: you thought he was going to show up and be
Speaker 1: in great shape ready to go and try to lead
Speaker 1: this team to the playoffs, I'd pick again. He looked like,
Speaker 1: you know, it's one of those where you have somebody
Speaker 1: walking by and you're playing a pickup game and you
Speaker 1: got nine guys and go, hey, hey, James, you want
Speaker 1: to come play. I'm not in shape. I don't I
Speaker 1: don't know. If I could now come on, you'd just
Speaker 1: be our tenth guy. That's what it felt like the
Speaker 1: Rockets were doing last light. They're like, hey, we did
Speaker 1: another guy starting five, don't James come on now? He
Speaker 1: can still score. He's always going to be able to score.
Speaker 1: But if I'm the Rockets, I'm just saying, let's see
Speaker 1: if we can create something here where we were winning,
Speaker 1: got a new coach. Let's see if we can create
Speaker 1: an atmosphere where we win, and maybe James Harden goes,
Speaker 1: you know, on second thought, let's I like what we're doing.
Speaker 1: I like what we're doing, and I'd like to stay.
Speaker 1: I think the odds are long. But if I'm Philadelphia
Speaker 1: and I'm Darryl moorey and I was the GM in Houston,
Speaker 1: like I know what Harden's all about. And Harden is
Speaker 1: quick to go, hey, I don't want that guy, or
Speaker 1: I want that guy? Can we trade for that guy?
Speaker 1: Like I don't. If I'm Miami and I go, We'll
Speaker 1: give you a bam out of Bio and Tyler Hero
Speaker 1: and draft picks. At what point does James Harden then
Speaker 1: become dissatisfied with something in Miami and then what happens
Speaker 1: because he's become dissatisfied on a yearly basis in Houston
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, Darryl Moore is going to play this perfectly.
Speaker 1: He's gonna drag it out. He knows he can drag
Speaker 1: it out. He doesn't have to ACQUI ask and give
Speaker 1: them Ben Simmons. He doesn't. And Darryl Moore is a
Speaker 1: sharp guy. If he can hold on to Ben Simmons,
Speaker 1: then he's going to do his best to hold on
Speaker 1: to Ben Simmons. They you know, you may get some
Speaker 1: of the other players, secondary players, but you know who else. Also,
Speaker 1: when you think about these things, remember when Kyrie was
Speaker 1: leaving Cleveland, like we didn't think he was going to Boston.
Speaker 1: Boston was one of those oh wow, he's going to Boston,
Speaker 1: Like there's always this oh I oh, I didn't expect
Speaker 1: that guy to go there, And that might be the
Speaker 1: case with what's going on with James Harden. He might
Speaker 1: there might be another team because if I'm the Rockets,
Speaker 1: I don't have to send you to a good team.
Speaker 1: You're under contract. I don't have to send you. Why
Speaker 1: am I going to do everything for James Harden? What
Speaker 1: have you done for us? James scored a lot of
Speaker 1: points and you bow out early in the postseason, and
Speaker 1: you have dictated everything that we've done. You've asked, We've given.
Speaker 1: Now you're asking, we're not giving. You want to be
Speaker 1: a bad soldier, then it's gonna you know, nobody's gonna
Speaker 1: want to trade for you. But there's no way I'm
Speaker 1: giving in to James Harden. Go let me see. Can
Speaker 1: I send you to a really good team? I could
Speaker 1: send you to Milwaukee or Miami or Philadelphia. Is that okay? James?
Speaker 1: And I'd never do that because I feel like I
Speaker 1: could probably get a little bit more from somebody else.
Speaker 1: Because if I'm the seventy six ers, I'm not showing
Speaker 1: you my cards. You're gonna deal with pat Riley in Miami.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna show you his cards. Milwaukee. You're gonna
Speaker 1: bring him in after you have Drew Holiday and what
Speaker 1: you gave up for Drew Holiday. I ain't doing that, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 1: The one thing that bothers me about the story. In
Speaker 1: the past month, we haven't heard of any concrete trade offers.
Speaker 1: It has him leaked. W Sanowski hasn't had anything. Do
Speaker 1: you think that the GM's around the league look at
Speaker 1: Hard and say, yeah, he's fantastic. Yeah, he attracts a
Speaker 1: lot of attention, But if I add him to my team,
Speaker 1: I gotta break the bank from draft picks and money.
Speaker 1: People don't really want to play with him because the
Speaker 1: entire team runs through him, and he doesn't really give
Speaker 1: me a great shot to win a title. That why
Speaker 1: would anyone aspire to trade for someone like that? He
Speaker 1: does make the playoffs, Yeah, I's eight years made the
Speaker 1: playoffs now. It's his style, his system, and you have
Speaker 1: to be along for the ride. And as much as
Speaker 1: I love watching him, I would not want to trade
Speaker 1: for him. I wouldn't want him on my team. But
Speaker 1: I am fascinated to watch him because he has that
Speaker 1: there's that it factor that he can score whenever he
Speaker 1: wants to as and the only person I've seen shut
Speaker 1: down James Harden is James Harden. Yeah, mclub the autobio
Speaker 1: at a hero package that seems like a ton to
Speaker 1: give up. Where would you if you were Miami, would
Speaker 1: that be something you'd be even willing to discuss? Well,
Speaker 1: I think it's it's being internally discussed. But you know,
Speaker 1: Bam is an All Star and Tyler hero emerged from
Speaker 1: the bubble, you know, playing at times a pretty high
Speaker 1: level there and uh, you know, crowd favorite, fan favorite there.
Speaker 1: But if you're getting hardened, you know Harden is helping
Speaker 1: you right now, Like you want to win a championship there,
Speaker 1: he gives you that opportunity. Now. Would I want to
Speaker 1: give up on those two? I would not. I love
Speaker 1: how the Miami Heat played basketball last year in the bubble.
Speaker 1: I loved how they play both ends of the floor,
Speaker 1: and I would hate to give that up to bring
Speaker 1: in somebody You're not quite sure. I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: know what James Harden would be like. And then Jimmy
Speaker 1: Butler playing with James Harden, would they get along? And
Speaker 1: then some of the other role players there, you know
Speaker 1: Duncan Robinson, you know what, does his roles stay the same?
Speaker 1: You know, three point shooter there, who's your big man?
Speaker 1: If you trade Bam out to buy it? Like, there's
Speaker 1: there's a lot of moving parts there. But I do
Speaker 1: think with James Harden, maybe you just if I'm Houston,
Speaker 1: let's just see if we create an atmosphere that he
Speaker 1: might enjoy. Maybe you stumble upon something and they start
Speaker 1: out eight and two in their first ten games. But
Speaker 1: he's kind of two year contract. I'm not moving him,
Speaker 1: not anytime soon. Alan and Maine joining us stay on.
Speaker 1: But hey, so we're talking a little college football earlier,
Speaker 1: and it sounds to me like there's with these with
Speaker 1: these Power five conferences, even with the Power five, when
Speaker 1: you have the big tanty sec A, the ACC that's
Speaker 1: like a power that's like the Power three. Um you
Speaker 1: mean generally speaking, that's where all your playoff teams come from. Anyway,
Speaker 1: And it seems to me like we're ready for another
Speaker 1: bracket entirely. I mean, you've got these schools and these
Speaker 1: kids that are being lied to. I mean, it's Cincinnati
Speaker 1: really gonna make it into the into the into the
Speaker 1: final four of college football. That's never, never, will, absolutely not,
Speaker 1: absolutely yeah make it and absolutely not even though they're
Speaker 1: really really good and they've got a lot of talent,
Speaker 1: the kids on their team, they're never gonna make it
Speaker 1: in and the and the kids are being lied to.
Speaker 1: It's all about It's all about television ratings, and that's
Speaker 1: all it is. Being from Maine, I mean that getting
Speaker 1: to see a one double A or an SCS or
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, uh playoffs every year
Speaker 1: and having Maine have the opportunity opportunity to be in
Speaker 1: that every once in a while is a thrill and
Speaker 1: it's actually a playoff and that's what we're missing. Um.
Speaker 1: I don't think bowl games really matter anymore. I think
Speaker 1: they're I think it's all about revenue. The bowl game
Speaker 1: aren't exciting. But that's really all I got on that
Speaker 1: best quarterback name ever that should have been a starter,
Speaker 1: that actually transferred to Cincinnati from Notre Dame my Irish
Speaker 1: because of Everett Golson. Gunner Keel. Yeah, yeah, Gunner Keel.
Speaker 1: I think from Indiana. Paulie was high on Gunner Keel.
Speaker 1: Great name, A lot of stops, made a lot of stops,
Speaker 1: Remember right? The new original series Saved by the Bell,
Speaker 1: streaming now exclusively on Peacock. Bayside is back. New students,
Speaker 1: new stories, same familiar faces, start streaming now on Peacock.
Speaker 1: Barry and Long Island is back with us. Hey, Barry,
Speaker 1: show him, show up, brothers. I just noticed over your
Speaker 1: over your left shoulder a jet helmet. I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: to pendelize your fifteen yards for taunting. That's something. Also,
Speaker 1: would it be possible for me to speak directly to
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence now and try and sell him about my debts?
Speaker 1: Wet stick at the pizza We've got Nathan's hot dog. No, no,
Speaker 1: I can't do that, Barry, Barry, I can't. I can't
Speaker 1: do that, but thank you, Barry. No, I can't do that,
Speaker 1: not even letting the Danats talk to you. We haven't
Speaker 1: met him before. Yeah, I'm the club. I wore my
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I see you. I see you.
Speaker 1: It looks good, looks good. Yeah, just you know I'm
Speaker 1: gonna jump on it. I would become a Jets fan
Speaker 1: if Trevor is here. Is that allowed? Actually? Now, I
Speaker 1: don't know you jump on more. But you're like a
Speaker 1: ten year old kid, like where you go? I like
Speaker 1: them and no, I like them all, they just won't
Speaker 1: I like them. I was so ready to become a
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets fan, but I didn't like Kyrie Irving's pond line.
Speaker 1: So now I'm having trouble. And also I'm listened. Whoever
Speaker 1: you following basketball, I'm gonna jump on that because you
Speaker 1: have a good sense for these Atlanta Hawk teams. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna wait for that. Hey, look, I'm excited about the
Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns that like. I love watching these teams that
Speaker 1: you don't normally get to see, just because there are
Speaker 1: times when you could see them a year before they
Speaker 1: get to that point when everybody sees them and goes,
Speaker 1: oh boy, look out for them, or look out for
Speaker 1: that player. And you know, Phoenix I'm excited about. Yeah, Paul, Yeah,
Speaker 1: But you're that guy who likes a band before they
Speaker 1: gets popular, and then when they get popular, you bail
Speaker 1: and go back to the garage band. So if the
Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns win fifty seven games this year, like well,
Speaker 1: that they're they're way too good for me to root for.
Speaker 1: I got to find a nice Charlotte Tea. You know
Speaker 1: what I do is it's it's like I raised children
Speaker 1: and then I dropped them off for somebody. That's all
Speaker 1: I do. I'm like, come here, you can do it.
Speaker 1: You can walk, come over here. And then they start walking,
Speaker 1: and then I say, all right, now you can go
Speaker 1: and go to somebody else. Somebody else is going to
Speaker 1: raise you. But that's what I do. I've been doing
Speaker 1: this with the Sacramento Kings for too long, way too long,
Speaker 1: and it's almost become embarrassing. But I keep waiting. One
Speaker 1: of these days, sacker Man, it was going to make
Speaker 1: the play. I like that kid in the basement that
Speaker 1: you're trying to kick out of the house. There. You're
Speaker 1: twenty six, and I want to go about your business.
Speaker 1: You're an adult. Now. You don't have to live here forever, Yes,
Speaker 1: I tell you. Poking around the Washington Wizards talking about
Speaker 1: pick and roll. The other day, I did watch The
Speaker 1: Wizard who Watches the Wizards without Bradley Beale and Russell
Speaker 1: Westbrook Junior. The third I did. It's like, yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: watch this. They show that the prisoners in prisons, like
Speaker 1: in some of the like those prisons they put on
Speaker 1: old Wizards games. Yeah, they won't even know even new
Speaker 1: Wizards games and they don't want to watch it. Like
Speaker 1: that's cruel and unusual punishment. Mary in prison on the hole.
Speaker 1: Put me in the hole instead of watching the Wizards.

Speaker 1: snow and they're talking about this Nora Easter, and Todd
Speaker 1: keeps asking me, usually about every half hour, you know,
Speaker 1: do you think it's going to be as bad as
Speaker 1: what they're saying? And I go, I don't know how
Speaker 1: bad are they saying it? And it was like a
Speaker 1: foot of snow to it was like eight to twelve
Speaker 1: yesterday and now it's ten to sixteen. They get so
Speaker 1: excited and passionate, the forecasters a knife, Well this is
Speaker 1: their moment, yeah, and they want to tell you worse
Speaker 1: than it is as opposed to the other way around.
Speaker 1: Will be a lot more upset if they say it's
Speaker 1: a flurries or an inch or two and we get ten.
Speaker 1: Are you coming into the man cave tomorrow? My plan
Speaker 1: is to work from home tomorrow with your permission, okay,
Speaker 1: because so I'll be the only one in the man
Speaker 1: cave tomorrow. Well, if you guys in the back, but
Speaker 1: as far as the main studio, you would probably be
Speaker 1: staring at the four of us in that on the
Speaker 1: TV screen right left. All right, so we have a
Speaker 1: north Easter. Is there a nor Easter bunny? Oh? Are
Speaker 1: there nor Easter eggs? Yes? Boy? You want to put
Speaker 1: some money down on the closest of the whole how
Speaker 1: many inches of snow at the studio tomorrow? I'd have
Speaker 1: to do some research. I spent all my time coming
Speaker 1: up with questions for trying. You're gonna text Cantori and
Speaker 1: get No, I'm not. I'm not gonna call Jim Cantori,
Speaker 1: but I'll give that some thought. Here he's the Clemson quarterback,
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence on the program. First time that we've had Trevor.
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us. Got Notre Dame coming up this
Speaker 1: weekend the ACC title game. By the way, what's the
Speaker 1: weather like there in Clemson? A little cold this morning? Oh,
Speaker 1: don't don't say cold, No, this is cold up here.
Speaker 1: That's not cold. What is it like sixty degrees? It's
Speaker 1: like it's probably upper forties. Oh it is, yeah, not
Speaker 1: not so bad though, warm up. You know by the
Speaker 1: afternoon it'll be sixty. So could you have played college
Speaker 1: football in a cold weather clembing? I wouldn't have. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't have preferred it, but I think I think I
Speaker 1: could have done it. But I don't know. I kind
Speaker 1: of I like playing in the cold, just because we
Speaker 1: don't do it often, but to do it every week
Speaker 1: from October on would be would be rough. But man,
Speaker 1: I think it would been fine. But if you didn't
Speaker 1: go to Clemson, where were you going? My other top
Speaker 1: school was probably Georgia, So that's still you know, in
Speaker 1: the South, it's hot down here. And staying in state
Speaker 1: as well, yep. Yeah. How difficult was it to watch
Speaker 1: the Notre Dame game from the sidelines. It's tough. I mean,
Speaker 1: as a competitor, you just want to be out there,
Speaker 1: and obviously the circumstances are just crazy. Being able to
Speaker 1: be at the game but can't play. It wasn't you know,
Speaker 1: in the I guess I wasn't you know, contagious or
Speaker 1: whatever for COVID anymore. So that was kind of frustrating,
Speaker 1: but just the way it is part of it. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I was definitely frustrating. Obviously DJ played really well, so that,
Speaker 1: you know, made it a little bit easier, just that
Speaker 1: he was ready to go, played well. But I wish
Speaker 1: I could have been out there to you know, give
Speaker 1: us a chance. How long did it take you to
Speaker 1: learn how to pronounce DJ's last name? Not too long?
Speaker 1: Someone told me. You know, I thought it was Ugulele
Speaker 1: at first, but someone told me pretty early, so I
Speaker 1: kind of made it a point to get it right.
Speaker 1: Well let's hear it OUI nga, okay, all right, just
Speaker 1: just want to make sure that you got that right.
Speaker 1: When you're watching film on Notre Dame, what jumps out
Speaker 1: at you. Oh, they're just, I mean just a good
Speaker 1: team all the way around. Really, there's not there's really
Speaker 1: not any weak links um and then they just really discipline,
Speaker 1: they know what they're doing. They don't try to necessarily
Speaker 1: confuse you. Obviously they have some good third down packages
Speaker 1: and some good disguises. But they're not overly complicated. It's
Speaker 1: just they do what they do and they do it well.
Speaker 1: They're really good in the run game, really physical, especially
Speaker 1: with their you know, d line and linebackers. They usually
Speaker 1: always have an extra in the box, something they do
Speaker 1: a really good job of. But yeah, they're just really discipline,
Speaker 1: you know, run game and pass game, their gap sound
Speaker 1: and then they know what they're doing. So I think
Speaker 1: that's the biggest thing. When did you know you were famous?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean I've come from a small town,
Speaker 1: so I guess through high school it was everybody kind
Speaker 1: of knew who I was, just being from a small
Speaker 1: football town in Georgia. But I think probably after the
Speaker 1: first National championship, it kind of went to a new level,
Speaker 1: especially around here, just going out to places just kind
Speaker 1: of changed. So I think that's probably when I was
Speaker 1: like things, things can't go back to how they were,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's different now. What were you prepared
Speaker 1: for it? Yeah? I think I just my journey and
Speaker 1: it's kind of been gradual. All that has been building
Speaker 1: to this point, So I think I've been preparing for
Speaker 1: it and then just realizing kind of what my platform
Speaker 1: and role entails and just kind of accepting it. First
Speaker 1: it's like something that's gonna be kind of frustrating or whatever,
Speaker 1: but then you just realize, like, um, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: in this situation for a reason, and try to use
Speaker 1: it for good. Do you read Twitter? Yeah, I'm on Twitter.
Speaker 1: I'm on Twitter. I'm trying to not be on it
Speaker 1: too much because I think everybody knows that there's a
Speaker 1: whole lot of a lot of stuff out there. But
Speaker 1: I try. I try to keep up a little bit.
Speaker 1: But it can be definitely be distracting if you let it,
Speaker 1: if you look into it too much. But you gotta
Speaker 1: have a sense of humor though, Trevor, Oh yeah, oh yeah, No,
Speaker 1: it's some of the stuff I see. It's just it's
Speaker 1: just funny. But yeah, I looked at it a little bit.
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised you're on it. I'm surprised you're admitting
Speaker 1: that you're on it because it would be one of
Speaker 1: those where maybe you tell your fiance, hey, just tell
Speaker 1: me what they're saying. Just tell me the good parts
Speaker 1: of what they're saying, not the bad parts. Maybe I
Speaker 1: should maybe I should start doing that. No, I really
Speaker 1: do try to because I like to stay you know,
Speaker 1: involved and kind of on social media and just like
Speaker 1: that's a good tool. But at the same time, I
Speaker 1: try to like limit it a little bit, so I'd
Speaker 1: only look at it certain times. This crazy, I mean
Speaker 1: the stuff that people send me and you just get
Speaker 1: tagged in all that stuff. It's wild. Did you ever
Speaker 1: meet that woman who looks like you? Did you ever
Speaker 1: reach out to her? I didn't. I didn't reach out,
Speaker 1: but I didn't meet her. She came to a game
Speaker 1: last year. She came we do our tiger walking park
Speaker 1: on the road and walked that little stretch to the
Speaker 1: locker room and she was right there. So of course
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of pictures and stuff. It's crazy. But
Speaker 1: did you think she looks like me? I did. I
Speaker 1: was like, thank you? Really. I don't obviously don't like
Speaker 1: to admit that, but I was like, that's pretty that's
Speaker 1: pretty close. How important is the heisman? I mean, it's
Speaker 1: I've said it before. It's like, that's a hard question.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's obviously something that would be awesome to win,
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna say that it wouldn't be And
Speaker 1: I wouldn't you know, love that. It would be great,
Speaker 1: But honestly, I mean, and it's the truth, I just
Speaker 1: don't really focus sign it too much. I think that's
Speaker 1: an award that your play speech for itself, and there's
Speaker 1: a lot of factors that go into it, and especially
Speaker 1: a season like this where everyone's played different games, schedule
Speaker 1: has been kind of rearranged, blown up, all those things.
Speaker 1: It's just a tough thing to gauge. So I don't
Speaker 1: put too much stake in it. You know, I know
Speaker 1: who I am, confident in who I am regardless of
Speaker 1: whether I win it or not. But obviously, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't have to say that. It would be a
Speaker 1: huge accomplishment to be able to be considered for it.
Speaker 1: To win it, yeah, but there's something wrong with saying
Speaker 1: I want it. Yeah, I mean, it's I mean, obviously,
Speaker 1: when you're competitive and you and you play a sport
Speaker 1: like college football, you put a lot of time in
Speaker 1: a lot of work. So the awards all that stuff
Speaker 1: is really cool, and you know, you kind of get
Speaker 1: recognized for the work you put in. So that, I mean,
Speaker 1: that would be awesome, but I'm having to pick between
Speaker 1: that a national championship no, no hesitation from me, So
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe those will go hand in hand
Speaker 1: awesome too. It'll be Notre Dame and Clemson in the
Speaker 1: ACC Championship game this Saturday at four eastern. We're talking
Speaker 1: to Trevor Lawrence, like, whench lunchtime, you got yelled at
Speaker 1: by davil Um probably the Miami game, actually got yelled at.
Speaker 1: You know, he's kind of got onto me a few times,
Speaker 1: but he cheat shoed me out pretty good. After the
Speaker 1: Miami game, scored a touchdown, spiked the ball, got up flag,
Speaker 1: he kind of ripped into me there. So that was
Speaker 1: the first time in a while. So that's what he
Speaker 1: said after the game. He's like, I don't give any
Speaker 1: chances to so I'm gonna take it when I get it.
Speaker 1: I didn't know if you start laughing or you want
Speaker 1: to laugh because you know that he doesn't really mean it.
Speaker 1: But when he starts yelling at you, is there any
Speaker 1: part of you that just wants to go no, Coach stop. No.
Speaker 1: I think it's it's just like that relationship where I mean,
Speaker 1: me and coach, we have a great relationship, but just
Speaker 1: it's one of those things where you gotta he's gotta
Speaker 1: make sure he takes his opportunities to get onto me
Speaker 1: when he can, just to show that nobody's bigger than
Speaker 1: anybody else. That's like, that's it's just you know, it's
Speaker 1: all part of it. I respect him, but it's funny
Speaker 1: the other guys in the team kind of laughing about
Speaker 1: it and and coming up to me after because it doesn't
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen much. Some of those other guys get
Speaker 1: chewed out all the time. Do you do an imitation
Speaker 1: of coach? Uh? Not really. We have some guys that
Speaker 1: that do a really good one, and I haven't really
Speaker 1: I ain't got it down yet. Well, does he have
Speaker 1: a saying or a look that these guys try to imitate?
Speaker 1: I mean, I just it's just funny how internally the
Speaker 1: stuff he does to motivate us, and um, the stuff
Speaker 1: he says, it's just it's just there's too many to name.
Speaker 1: I mean, he has so many sayings we call him
Speaker 1: Sweeneyisms that he just says all the time. It's like
Speaker 1: beat into our brain. So he's he does a good
Speaker 1: job of making sure we leave here with some quotes.
Speaker 1: Did you grow up an NFL fan? Not really, honest,
Speaker 1: I grew up watching college football mostly didn't watch the
Speaker 1: NFL too much. Obviously it's a big football fan, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I was more of a college football fan growing up.
Speaker 1: Do you have posters growing up? Did you wear NFL
Speaker 1: jerseys anything like that? Oh? Not really. I think I
Speaker 1: think I might have had it when I was a
Speaker 1: little kid, like a paint Manning jersey from from the Colts.
Speaker 1: But like I said, I really wasn't. I mean, he
Speaker 1: was my favorite player. Better than that, I didn't really
Speaker 1: watch it too much or have a favorite team. Have
Speaker 1: you met him? I did? I met him, I guess.
Speaker 1: The first time I met him was two summers ago
Speaker 1: at the hit their camp, the Manning camp, So it
Speaker 1: was cool. Their whole family is good people, so it
Speaker 1: was good. When's the last time you watch an NFL game?
Speaker 1: I actually just watched. I watched the very end of
Speaker 1: the game last night, the Browns and Ravens. I caught
Speaker 1: like the I saw that it was like going back
Speaker 1: and forth, so I turned it on. But honestly, I
Speaker 1: don't watch too much. Were either in practice this or
Speaker 1: getting home late or whatever, so I don't really watch something.
Speaker 1: But I keep up with it, you know, by keeping
Speaker 1: up with who's doing well. And obviously the I think
Speaker 1: it was like the Steelers and they were undefeated. Always
Speaker 1: kind of like route for those teams, it would be
Speaker 1: cool to see them finish that. Obviously they're still still
Speaker 1: playing well, but so stuff like that I kind of
Speaker 1: keep up with. But how can you not let the
Speaker 1: situation with the Jets affect you? Or at least you
Speaker 1: know that you could end up in New York if
Speaker 1: they don't win and you're the number one pick, you
Speaker 1: don't get to pick where you want to go, and
Speaker 1: that's really difficult for, you know, somebody just starting out.
Speaker 1: But how prepared are you to do something like that?
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think I'm ready. I think
Speaker 1: just being here at Clemson, my journey has taught me
Speaker 1: a lot. I've grown up a lot in the past
Speaker 1: few years, and I'm really just ready to take on
Speaker 1: whatever challenge it is and just to have the opportunity.
Speaker 1: Have you watched the Jets, Trevor, I haven't really honestly.
Speaker 1: Obviously don't don't highlights and stuff, don't know. I mean really, like, honestly,
Speaker 1: I know some of this stuff I say sounds cliche,
Speaker 1: but just to have the opportunity to go somewhere help
Speaker 1: someone rebuild, if that's what it is or whatever. It
Speaker 1: just win. That's what, you know, something I love doing.
Speaker 1: I think that's what I'm best at, is winning, you know,
Speaker 1: regardless of stats, whatever it is, that's that's the one
Speaker 1: I love. So just to have that chance. Obviously some
Speaker 1: places it'll be more of a challenge than others, but um,
Speaker 1: I think I'm I think I'm up for it and
Speaker 1: that that that'll get here when it when it's here.
Speaker 1: Just trying to focus now on being great where I'm at.
Speaker 1: You're officially leaving Clemson right after the Final four. I
Speaker 1: mean it's it's likely. Obviously I'm not. I don't want
Speaker 1: to completely shut any door, but uh, well didn't they
Speaker 1: introduce you on senior Day? So that I thought that
Speaker 1: might have been their way of saying, yeah, so I'm graduating,
Speaker 1: So Coach Sweeney, let me go ahead. Hey, but Christian Wilkins,
Speaker 1: he did it twice. He ran down the hill twice
Speaker 1: two years in a row. So you never know on it.
Speaker 1: How far do you think you could throw it right
Speaker 1: now in that practice field? Um, if you warmed up,
Speaker 1: if you warmed up, I would say probably like sixty five.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's between sixty five and seventy. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't I can't necessarily throw it the farthest, but
Speaker 1: far far enough. I'll say that. Well, hopefully you don't
Speaker 1: have to throw it that far. But yeah, I was
Speaker 1: always I was curious, can DJ throw it farther than you? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got a candidate. But he's a big guy. He's
Speaker 1: as big as any defensive player you go up against Indy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's about two fifty probably six five two fifty. He's HU,
Speaker 1: that's crazy. I've had to try to put weight on.
Speaker 1: He's trying to keep it off. We got opposite problems
Speaker 1: that we can just kind of meet in the middle. Well,
Speaker 1: college football should be proud that they've had you for
Speaker 1: three years, and the NFL will be proud to have
Speaker 1: you as well. You have done some great things there
Speaker 1: and you get an opportunity to hopefully play in the
Speaker 1: final four there and we wish you luck against Notre
Speaker 1: Dame and uh, we were glad to have you on Trevor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you, Dan, thank for having me. Appreciate you, guys.
Speaker 1: I took a while to get him, but good appearance.
Speaker 1: By Trevor Lawrence. Very likable. Yeah, yes, I don't know
Speaker 1: how you can spend your Sunday without at least sneaking
Speaker 1: a peek at the Jets. Just do like a drive by,
Speaker 1: just you know, have a friend who just keeps an
Speaker 1: eye on the Jets and the Jaguars. Yeah, seton. But
Speaker 1: in't it like in a way, he's just so blessed
Speaker 1: to be going in there completely blind, and like, you know,
Speaker 1: it's sort of like an ignorance is bliss kind of thing, Like, Okay, well,
Speaker 1: let's see you guys going in fresh Lee. Would you
Speaker 1: go in blind? Would you want to know about the
Speaker 1: team that was probably going to take you? Definitely? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would too. He's thirty three and one in his
Speaker 1: career at Clemson, the only loss coming in season's national
Speaker 1: title game to LSU. The first Power five quarterback and
Speaker 1: get this stat here, to win thirty three of his
Speaker 1: thirst first thirty four starts since Matt Leiner did it
Speaker 1: with USC from oh three to five. Clemson has never
Speaker 1: had a player selected higher than number four overall in
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft. The only Clemson quarterbacks ever drafted in
Speaker 1: the first round Deshaun Watson, of course, Steve Fuller with
Speaker 1: the Chiefs back in nineteen seventy nine. Well, bump bump,
Speaker 1: stat of the day, snat of the day. Oh, maybe
Speaker 1: the nat of the day, of the day, stat of
Speaker 1: the day. It's the stat of the day, that's uh.
Speaker 1: Michael Boobs, Michael Boubley. Yes, Polly, I know financially Trevor
Speaker 1: Lawrence has to go pro, but that makes the case
Speaker 1: for paying college athletes. And I know it's impossible if
Speaker 1: Clemson could match the first year's salary of a rookie quarterback.
Speaker 1: I think that guy would love to stay in college football.
Speaker 1: He feels a guy who grew up only like in that. Well,
Speaker 1: take a break, last call for phone calls, what we learned,
Speaker 1: what's in store tomorrow? Back after this. Thanks for listening
Speaker 1: to The Dan Patrick Show podcast. Be sure to catch
Speaker 1: us live every weekday morning nine until noon eastern six
Speaker 1: to nine Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, and you can
Speaker 1: find us on the iHeartRadio app at FSR or stream
Speaker 1: us live on the Peacock app. The BG's documentary on
Speaker 1: HBO Great Get a Chance worth watching, and you kind
Speaker 1: of forget just how big they were because they had
Speaker 1: a moment and it felt like it was only a moment.
Speaker 1: I misspoken said that, you know, they get kicked to
Speaker 1: the curb, and then that grunge came in. It was
Speaker 1: really not grunge. It was you know, you had big,
Speaker 1: big hair bands and who else did you have that
Speaker 1: came in after that season, like right after that, like
Speaker 1: the Ramons and sex Pistols and all yeah, punk bands
Speaker 1: got pretty big. Yeah, and uh, you know because disco
Speaker 1: and it turned. It felt like in one moment at
Speaker 1: Comiskey Park was Steve Dall, the popular DJ at the
Speaker 1: Loop that was the name of the station in Chicago,
Speaker 1: and they had Disco Demolition Night and if you brought
Speaker 1: your disco record in you paid ninety eight cents I
Speaker 1: think to get in and the White Sox had to
Speaker 1: forfeit the night kep it was a double headers. In
Speaker 1: between games, they blew up all these records and then
Speaker 1: all the fans came on the field and basically they said,
Speaker 1: there's no second half of the double header here. And
Speaker 1: it felt like America turned on the bags right after that.
Speaker 1: That disco was all of a sudden not in favor,
Speaker 1: but they were bringing albums like Marvin Gay and Stevie
Speaker 1: wonders how ignorant people were that wasn't disco. Songs in
Speaker 1: the Key of Life is not Disco from Stevie Wonder
Speaker 1: or Marvin Gay what I mean? Those were Those are
Speaker 1: classic albums music, great music, and they were bringing that
Speaker 1: in and blowing up those kind of albums there letting disco.
Speaker 1: They were just bringing in some of these albums. Yeah, PAULI, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that Disco Demolition Night. You're You're right. I kind of
Speaker 1: forgot how big of a deal was and it was
Speaker 1: almost seismic could give a face to the anti disco movement. Yep,
Speaker 1: it did. And the BGS, you know, they paid the
Speaker 1: price for that, and they do a wonderful job in
Speaker 1: the documentary. The BG's are on stage. They might be
Speaker 1: in California playing a show while Disco Demolition was going on,
Speaker 1: and they're getting this thunderous applause standing ovation when they're performing.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile in Chicago, Kemiskey Park Disco Demolition Night. But good
Speaker 1: reaction from what we saw with Trevor Lawrence from people
Speaker 1: tweeting that seems to carry himself quite well. The people
Speaker 1: thought that maybe like a Joe Burrow type. I thought,
Speaker 1: I thought Trevor came off quite well there. I just
Speaker 1: saw this and I normally don't recognize him because I
Speaker 1: think he does a disservice to his kids. LeVar Ball
Speaker 1: was on Bleacher Report AMA and he was asked about LaMelo,
Speaker 1: who's a rookie in the NBA. If Lamello played Steph Curry,
Speaker 1: he said that LaMelo would beat Steph Curry one on
Speaker 1: one because lamelos like six seven and Steph is six
Speaker 1: two six three. Lamelot yes, one on one, one on one,
Speaker 1: to which I mean he might because of his size.
Speaker 1: But then this is the same guy who thought he
Speaker 1: could beat Michael Jordan one on one, so I can't
Speaker 1: really trust him in his opinions. But he did say
Speaker 1: that LaMelo would be able to beat Steph Curry one
Speaker 1: on one. How about we do this though? Just ask Leavar,
Speaker 1: how about Steph and LaMelo have a shooting contest and then, um,
Speaker 1: you know, you can brag forever if LaMelo beats him,
Speaker 1: but if he doesn't, then you don't get to talk again.
Speaker 1: How about that? Like that? That would be like fair? Whatever? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Ever about you know his sons, because I'd love for
Speaker 1: his sons just to be able to play basketball. Without
Speaker 1: dad wanting some credit. We're gonna give you credit. You
Speaker 1: got two kids in the NBA, two top five picks. Congratulations,
Speaker 1: you and your wife. Congratulations. But then after that, let
Speaker 1: them just play like you're not any good. You were
Speaker 1: never any good. But man, do you want to hold
Speaker 1: onto their capes? Just let them go, let him play
Speaker 1: instead of putting so much pressure on them. Man. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's see. Oh this snowstorm bed Okay, I haven't seen
Speaker 1: what the weather forecast is for around here? Over under
Speaker 1: a foot? How about that for Milford? Yeah, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say under because the reports say the shoreline is supposed
Speaker 1: to get less, but it's still supposed to be a lot.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say, well, what's a lot? But what's less?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say you you'll probably get more like it,
Speaker 1: what do I know. I'm gonna say, you'll get more
Speaker 1: like eight here in Milford, Okay, and close to a
Speaker 1: foot to like in Hartford County or something. All right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter because I'll be here because American needs that.
Speaker 1: I have to entertain a nation, So it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: how much snow. Todd, you're a pro like that. Well,
Speaker 1: I did set up the mailman. No, I did set
Speaker 1: up a room where we have a tent back there
Speaker 1: with cabellos, and then we have the tent. Now, I
Speaker 1: was going to bring in a sleeping bag for you,
Speaker 1: and I thought that was very cozy. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: then I guess I don't have to bring a sleeping
Speaker 1: bag in. I'm going to take the under a foot
Speaker 1: of snow. I'll take the under Todd, what did I learn?
Speaker 1: On today's award nominated program, Trevor Lawrence hasn't really watched
Speaker 1: the Jets or much NFL football. He eight peaks at
