Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: WHA but Dan Patrick Show, Fox Sports Radio. iHeartRadio app
Speaker 2: Welcome in, boys off for one more day, They're back tomorrow,
Speaker 2: the guts, You're ready for the upcoming NFL season. Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome,
Speaker 2: Welcome in. Dan Byer alongside, I'm Doug Gottlieb. But that's
Speaker 2: Jason Stewart. And it's interesting, guys, because I don't know
Speaker 2: if you know the backstory with this, Jace, do you
Speaker 2: want to turn our love and hate segment into the good,
Speaker 2: the bad, the ugly? Is that correct?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, So the background is this. We were
Speaker 1: doing our production meeting and Dan's like, didn't Dan Patrick
Speaker 1: used to do the good, the bad and the ugly?
Speaker 1: Do they still do that? So we asked Joel Elliott,
Speaker 1: who runs the board for the show every day, and
Speaker 1: he says, I guess what Dan stopped doing that? And
Speaker 1: then I guess he just takes calls nowadays like what
Speaker 1: did you love best from the weekend or something?
Speaker 2: So I don't think I don't I don't. I don't
Speaker 2: think he did the good, the bad, the ugly. I
Speaker 2: could be wrong, and again that this is a little
Speaker 2: bit like the back shoulder throw in football. Okay, I
Speaker 2: am going to claim to be the one who did
Speaker 2: the Good, the Bad, the Ugly, going back to my
Speaker 2: days at ESPN Radio, and it was copied by Eric
Speaker 2: Casilius who then took it to do on his show. Okay,
Speaker 2: and how do I know because I'm actually a huge
Speaker 2: spaghetti Western fan, huge spaghetti western fan. Which is where
Speaker 2: the sound, the good, the bad, the ugly, that's where
Speaker 2: the movie was actually was. It's actually a movie the good,
Speaker 2: the bad, the.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 2: When there's that thing is right, somebody's gotta be a
Speaker 2: better whistler than me. I don't know if I don't
Speaker 2: know what's going on my whistling today, Can you, Dan,
Speaker 2: can you whistle better than I can?
Speaker 4: I can't do the I can't do the loud one
Speaker 4: with your teeth, so with the fingers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, is there a name for that? Like we have
Speaker 2: names for everything, we don't have a name for that.
Speaker 4: And yeah, I don't know what it is, but I
Speaker 4: do want to say something, so you know, I used
Speaker 4: to I used to anchor in the mornings during the
Speaker 4: Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio years ago, and
Speaker 4: it had been a while since I had been. You know,
Speaker 4: we do your show in the afternoon, so our schedules
Speaker 4: don't match up for listening wise. So Dan and the
Speaker 4: dan Nets did the best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 4: That's what they would do. And so no disrespect to them,
Speaker 4: it's just our schedules don't match up in what they do.
Speaker 4: But you know, we do a similar thing with the
Speaker 4: with the Love and Hate on the Doug Gottlieb Show.
Speaker 2: Sure, I mean, I listen, these are not these are
Speaker 2: no these And as much as it sounds like I'm
Speaker 2: slamming Cassilli, it's like, look there you go. Oh so good.
Speaker 2: M So, I mean like, look, Colin used to do,
Speaker 2: uh what did he used to do? I used to
Speaker 2: do something when you go around the country, spanning the globe,
Speaker 2: spanning the globe, right, used to do spanning the globe.
Speaker 2: So spanning the globe was wildly successful back when he
Speaker 2: was at ESPN Radio. And so we copied that and
Speaker 2: we just did We called it zoning, and we would
Speaker 2: do a person from every time zone.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: So the idea is like I'll just I'll admit it.
Speaker 2: It's the old aerosmith's line, which is amateur's borrow professional steel.
Speaker 2: So that's what took place there was the I was
Speaker 2: an absolute professional in that one. So anyway, do you
Speaker 2: wander do the good, the bad, the uglier?
Speaker 4: Do you want to do love and hate or best
Speaker 4: and worst of the weekend? What do you want to do?
Speaker 4: Let's do Jason.
Speaker 1: Stewart, Yeah, I mean Joel's got all the sounds for
Speaker 1: Levin hate.
Speaker 4: Alright.
Speaker 1: Let's douce the nation, the damn Patrick nation to this.
Speaker 2: Let's see a little love and hate, all right? What
Speaker 2: we love from the weekend. I got a bunch of
Speaker 2: things I love for the weekend. We'll start with a
Speaker 2: personal note. The Baltimore Orioles took two out of three
Speaker 2: from the Colorado Rockies. But dear friend of mine, Matt Holliday,
Speaker 2: got a chance to go back watch his son play
Speaker 2: for the Orioles against the Rockies, and they had him
Speaker 2: throw out the first pitch to his son. But it's
Speaker 2: the in the first game, Jackson Holiday, who's a rookie
Speaker 2: for the Baltimore Orioles, hit a triple off the wall,
Speaker 2: and they showed like flashback videos to when Jackson was
Speaker 2: like three years old and his dad was playing for
Speaker 2: the Rockies and he you know, hit like a whiffle
Speaker 2: ball and went running around the bases Like I thought,
Speaker 2: that was really cool, really really cool.
Speaker 4: My love on the weekend.
Speaker 2: What do you got there, Jay Stu?
Speaker 1: We just touched upon it last last hour. But I
Speaker 1: really enjoy watching Caitlin Clark at her peak in those
Speaker 1: in those brief moments when she does a step back
Speaker 1: and the logo threes and those passes. That reminds me
Speaker 1: of what I fell in love with at Iowa. Now
Speaker 1: he hasn't had as many moments in the pros, but
Speaker 1: they are getting more and more with each game. If
Speaker 1: you haven't figured it out. On Friday night, she was
Speaker 1: the subject of several cheap shots by the Scott and
Speaker 1: I love seeing on Twitter everyone come to her defense.
Speaker 1: It's strange that there is a right leaning twist to it.
Speaker 1: I don't know why the pro Caitlin Clark taking up
Speaker 1: for her when she's abused like that is like a
Speaker 1: right leaning take for whatever reason on Twitter, but I
Speaker 1: think it was unfair on Friday. I love seeing her
Speaker 1: win that game, and then what yesterday she won again
Speaker 1: and and Doug, you could speak to this because you
Speaker 1: were a point guard and you're a coach. I think
Speaker 1: those early season struggles with the fever was much more
Speaker 1: about these players trying to get to know her passes, right.
Speaker 2: I think it's some of it. I don't think it's
Speaker 2: all of it. I think some of it is that
Speaker 2: she had. It's a it's a much higher level. She
Speaker 2: still turns the ball over too much, So some of
Speaker 2: it is knowing you don't need a home run pass.
Speaker 2: Some of it is them learning how to play with
Speaker 2: somebody who's a creative passer. So I think there's there's
Speaker 2: there's various levels to it, various levels to it.
Speaker 4: I also think that the Olympic break did her a
Speaker 4: world of good. No question, she needed the time off.
Speaker 4: You called that, by the way, so and I think
Speaker 4: everybody needed it. I think there's this different feel about
Speaker 4: Caitlin Clark now after that that month off. Kelsey Mitchell
Speaker 4: also wasn't available early for the Indiana fever and she
Speaker 4: had like thirty three yesterday or something. So that also
Speaker 4: helps the stat from the Caitlin Clark report. Did you
Speaker 4: see this that you were talking about, Jason, was that
Speaker 4: of this seventeen percent of the flagrant follows the season
Speaker 4: you know, they were on Caitlin Clark and all that
Speaker 4: seventeen percent eighty percent of those are committed by the sky.
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's official or not, but that's
Speaker 4: what was circulating, and it's pretty amazing.
Speaker 1: And one person plays for this guy who's a rival
Speaker 1: of calig Yeah, well.
Speaker 2: I mean, actually it's it's kind of genius. I don't
Speaker 2: know if she meant to be that way, but it's
Speaker 2: kind of genius. And that I had no idea she
Speaker 2: existed on this earth until she committed a couple of fouls, right,
Speaker 2: made a name for herself. All right, Uh, Dan Byra,
Speaker 2: would you left in the weekend?
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what. In the end, it didn't. It
Speaker 4: didn't pay off to cheat. But I love Sahith Thigala
Speaker 4: self imposing a two stroke penalty because he believes that
Speaker 4: he struck the sand when he was hitting a shot
Speaker 4: out of the bunker at the Tour Championship. And why
Speaker 4: is this great? Especially when you hear what was at
Speaker 4: stake is that it's the honesty. And he said, listen,
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's one hundred percent sure, but
Speaker 4: if you asked me one way or another, did I
Speaker 4: think I hit the sand, yes, or no, I think
Speaker 4: I did, And that is what is great about golf
Speaker 4: and say hit Thigala ended up costing himself two and
Speaker 4: a half million dollars. He didn't know that at the time,
Speaker 4: but that's what it would have cost him. Is he
Speaker 4: would have tied Klin Morikawa for second at the Tour
Speaker 4: Championship yesterday as Scotty Scheffler ended up winning, but he
Speaker 4: also would have tied Klin Morikawa and could have picked
Speaker 4: up an official World Golf Ranking victory. They because of
Speaker 4: the staggered start of the Tour Championship where Scheffler starts
Speaker 4: out at ten under power and his shots ahead. The
Speaker 4: World Golf rankings don't look at that. They look at
Speaker 4: what your actual score was, and so Thigala would have
Speaker 4: gotten an official World Golf Ranking victory because he had.
Speaker 4: Marikawa would have tied for the for the lowest score,
Speaker 4: but it didn't happen because he called the penalty out
Speaker 4: himself on Saturday, something that other players in the sport
Speaker 4: of golf would not do.
Speaker 2: Okay, I got one another thing. I love college football
Speaker 2: being back. Just love it. And look, I'm we're all
Speaker 2: fully aware that the level of play is not that
Speaker 2: of the NFL and not the NFL level of play
Speaker 2: to start the season's gonna be great. But I don't
Speaker 2: know who has loved college football being back, and you know,
Speaker 2: Mile Motyn it nothing short of remarkable what Mike Gundy
Speaker 2: has done. I mean, you go and look historically at
Speaker 2: how bad Oaklham State football has been and now completely
Speaker 2: sold out all season long. They got I think a
Speaker 2: tough game with Arkansas this weekend at home, but uh,
Speaker 2: creating a program kind of from scratch a little bit right,
Speaker 2: he stripped it down and rebuilt it. But just watching
Speaker 2: college football, the school colors, the band, still love it,
Speaker 2: not perfect, still love it.
Speaker 1: I liked watching our guy that the Tommy Trojan missed
Speaker 1: with the sword last night. He had a tough time
Speaker 1: with that.
Speaker 2: Well, there was something going on underneath the service.
Speaker 4: There was they played on the turf last night, which
Speaker 4: is what UNLV does. Raiders play on grass, and so.
Speaker 1: I thought, I think there's still a chance if you
Speaker 1: talked to him today that he pulled a muscle, you know,
Speaker 1: there's something an elbow injury or like, because he he
Speaker 1: thought there was going to be some given that there wasn't
Speaker 1: and we all we've all kind of felt that before.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to what we hated from the weekend.
Speaker 2: Our resident hater is Jason Stewart. I'm sure you got
Speaker 2: a lot of am O go.
Speaker 1: So this is going to be masked. My hate is
Speaker 1: going to be massed to promote Sho Hao Tani. Sho
Speaker 1: Hao Tani has lived up to the contract. He lived
Speaker 1: up to the hype. So few free agents ever live
Speaker 1: up to what they signed for, and Shohy has lived
Speaker 1: up to it. And we haven't even gotten his pitching
Speaker 1: arm yet, and so I have to give him credit.
Speaker 1: But this is what I hate about what he did
Speaker 1: this weekend. So I don't know if you're aware of this.
Speaker 1: If you were on Twitter when he did it, you're
Speaker 1: definitely aware of it. All the Baseball Dorks told us
Speaker 1: that in the history of baseball, it goes back one
Speaker 1: hundred and forty some odd years, Nobody in the history
Speaker 1: of baseball has ever hit forty three home runs and
Speaker 1: stolen forty three bases in the same season. Nobody's ever
Speaker 1: done that. The reason why we don't know that because
Speaker 1: forty three and forty three just doesn't quite have the
Speaker 1: ring doesn't come off the tongue as much. But this
Speaker 1: is what I don't want to hear, because he is
Speaker 1: forty fourth last night. If he steals his forty fourth tonight,
Speaker 1: I don't want the same baseball nerds to be like,
Speaker 1: hey sho, hey o Tani, the first player in the
Speaker 1: history of baseball to have forty four stolen bases and
Speaker 1: forty four home runs. How about we do this. Let's
Speaker 1: see what he comes up up at the end of
Speaker 1: the year, and then you can make that grand proclamation
Speaker 1: of what he did. We don't have to go home
Speaker 1: run by home run on this one. Thank you.
Speaker 4: Okay, Dan Byer, Okay. I'm gonna stick with golf, but
Speaker 4: I'm gonna make this personal. If you guys ever broke
Speaker 4: in a club on the course, of course you've seen
Speaker 4: me golf right, then you may have done it out
Speaker 4: of anger. I did not do it out of anger.
Speaker 4: I broke a club on a swing, and I broke
Speaker 4: a pitching wedge, and it went awful feeling because now
Speaker 4: you're like, listen, a pitching wedge is a club that
Speaker 4: you would like to use and would use it maybe
Speaker 4: more often than say a six hire. Like if you
Speaker 4: don't have a six iron, you can hit five or seven.
Speaker 4: I think pitching wedge a little bit more focused on
Speaker 4: what you want to dial in. So I am now
Speaker 4: without a pitching wedge because it's snapped right on the
Speaker 4: hozzle after trying to hit a shot that was right
Speaker 4: at the edge of a bunker below my feet. But
Speaker 4: to make things worse at the course that I did
Speaker 4: it the New TPC Wisconsin, just north of Madison. The
Speaker 4: day that I play, guys, did I played okay? I didn't.
Speaker 4: I didn't play great, but I played okay and was like, boy,
Speaker 4: it's a tough track. Some kids shot fifty nine that
Speaker 4: same day that I did, So like this realization of
Speaker 4: how actually bad I am at golf. I thought the
Speaker 4: course was was a tough course. Steve Stricker a huge,
Speaker 4: huge hand because it's basically his course in the design
Speaker 4: of it. And I left being like, man, this is
Speaker 4: going to be tough. Champions Tour is going to be
Speaker 4: here next year. And some kid goes and lights it
Speaker 4: up for a fifty nine on the exact same day
Speaker 4: that I played, Absolutely demoralizing and it's why I hate golf.
Speaker 1: Doug, did you hear that? Did you hear that hate
Speaker 1: was masked as just a big humble brack.
Speaker 2: It was. There were several humble bracks, a lot of
Speaker 2: humble brack. I played at this incredible course. I had
Speaker 2: a week of golf. You Sluman, Steve Stricker.
Speaker 4: It's just for people to relate. That's the work I've
Speaker 4: played with Steve Stricker.
Speaker 2: Dann, We're messing with you.
Speaker 4: I know, I know, I know, I get. I'm going
Speaker 4: with a bit.
Speaker 2: Okay, I got, I got some of my hey this weekend.
Speaker 2: I I'm just annoyed by the Colorado thing. That again,
Speaker 2: I understand when it took place. It took place Thursday,
Speaker 2: But like if we if we wrap up what happened
Speaker 2: in college football, it's the fact that there's an expression
Speaker 2: in coaching you're either coaching it or you're allowing it, right,
Speaker 2: And all Deon Sanders has tried to do is tell
Speaker 2: us how great Shadoor Sanders is. And look, I've coached
Speaker 2: my kid. I know it's not easy. I understand it's
Speaker 2: not easy. But less than two minutes to go and
Speaker 2: North Dakota State has one time out and Shador Sanders
Speaker 2: tries to pad his stats. Ever, there's no possible logical
Speaker 2: understanding reason other than that, right, and Dion his dad,
Speaker 2: but also as head coach, like Nazi, he's a great kid.
Speaker 2: He was trying to get his teammate a score. And
Speaker 2: then the reporters they're all in on it too. They're like, well,
Speaker 2: your dad said you were trying to get him a
Speaker 2: score instead of just asking like what were you think
Speaker 2: on the first down? And then Store is like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I got to learn from that. Well if it wasn't
Speaker 2: a mistake, why'd you have to learn from it? The
Speaker 2: fact that Dion can't even publicly say what is he doing?
Speaker 2: We're trying to win a game. He's trying to pad
Speaker 2: his stats and win a Heisman trophy Like that ain't
Speaker 2: how we roll here, you know, And and like look,
Speaker 2: the difference is pretty obvious. JJ McCarthy. I don't know
Speaker 2: how good he is, but the Minnesota Vikings seem to
Speaker 2: think he's really really good. And Michigan last year they
Speaker 2: go to Penn Sate, they didn't throw it once in
Speaker 2: the second half. You know why, because all they want,
Speaker 2: all they came there to do is to win the game.
Speaker 2: And I just I'm embarrassed for the coaching profession that
Speaker 2: you have a head coach, especially one who receives the
Speaker 2: shine that Deon Santa does, and he doesn't. He can't
Speaker 2: even hold his kid accountable. Like this is what people
Speaker 2: hate about people coaching their kids. Most of us who
Speaker 2: coach our kids hold our kid to a higher, higher standard,
Speaker 2: because that's what it means to be a coach's kid.
Speaker 2: You gotta be perfect and then even better than that.
Speaker 2: So I just I'm still mad about that, infuriated by
Speaker 2: how that looks anyone else. We're good, all right, We're good,
Speaker 2: and that's love and hate. He's Dan Byrom Doug Gottlieb.
Speaker 2: How badly do the Niners need to win?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 2: Or do they need to get the Trent Williams done
Speaker 2: deal done in order to win? We'll discuss next.

Speaker 4: Sports Radio a Labor Day edition. I'm Dan Byer, It's
Speaker 4: me and Doug Gottlieb here Ax Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Dan, we do this thing every year right where we
Speaker 2: act like only one team's under pressure. But I do
Speaker 2: think that there is a certain point which the Niners, Hey,
Speaker 2: they've they've climbed the mountain. They've gotten there. But Rock
Speaker 2: Perty's very likely to get paid for next year, so
Speaker 2: you know, they're just trying to manage and keep these
Speaker 2: things together. They got the Auke deal done, still waiting
Speaker 2: on the Trent Williams thing done. And Trent Williams is
Speaker 2: a guy that he's shown he'll set out for money
Speaker 2: in the past. Where are you on the Niners heading
Speaker 2: into the season.
Speaker 4: Now, this is the last shot of this window, so
Speaker 4: I think it's it's right here because the window changes
Speaker 4: after party gets paid.
Speaker 2: I completely agree with you, Completely agree with you. But
Speaker 2: how close are they? Are they better than last year?
Speaker 2: Are they different than last year? You know a guy
Speaker 2: who would know is Dante Whitner. They called him Dante
Speaker 2: Hitner back when he played for the Bills and of
Speaker 2: course the Niners. He covers them for NBC Sports Bay Area. Okay,
Speaker 2: so Dante, assuming they get Trent Williams back, is this
Speaker 2: team better than last year's team?
Speaker 3: I believe that they're similar than last year's team. I
Speaker 3: think one area where they're better is on the defensive line.
Speaker 3: They revamped that front. They went out and got Malie Collins,
Speaker 3: who's a big run stuff for a front. He'll keep
Speaker 3: Fred Warner in that line back and Core Free. They
Speaker 3: brought in Elliott, They brought in Matos for that defensive
Speaker 3: end that can set the edge, understands his job, that's
Speaker 3: his primary focus. And they went out and got Leonard
Speaker 3: Floyd to tandem with Nick Bosa to be able to
Speaker 3: take a lot of pressure off the secondary and get
Speaker 3: back to the dominant defense run defense, that they're customed
Speaker 3: to the plane, and we know that that feeds into
Speaker 3: what Kyle Shanahan wants to do with run the ball
Speaker 3: on offense RPOs. And they have all their playmakers back.
Speaker 3: Rob Purty has taking another step forward. So I think
Speaker 3: this team is better than last year's team, but they
Speaker 3: have to prove it. They have to go out there
Speaker 3: and execute, have to stay healthy, and they have to
Speaker 3: get Trent Williams most importantly, what were.
Speaker 4: The challenges that you guys faced in trying to get
Speaker 4: back to the Super Bowl after falling to the Ravens,
Speaker 4: because I would assume there have to be similar challenges
Speaker 4: that this team is going to face after falling short
Speaker 4: to the Chiefs.
Speaker 3: Well, the challenges come internally and each individual has to
Speaker 3: look themselves in the mirror in every year and say,
Speaker 3: am I dedicated? Am I willing to put the work
Speaker 3: in inside the building and outside the building to help
Speaker 3: get us back to the championship game. In the NFC Championships,
Speaker 3: and we had a bunch of veterans who were hungry
Speaker 3: and who were in contract years, and we went out
Speaker 3: and we performed and then we had some luck we
Speaker 3: stay healthy. So I think that this forty nine Ers organization,
Speaker 3: and they have a culture of consistently competing for championships,
Speaker 3: and they have the individuals in that locker room. So
Speaker 3: I would say the biggest, the hardest thing is each
Speaker 3: individual looking themselves in the mirror and actually putting the
Speaker 3: work in each year to have the outcome that they've had.
Speaker 2: They talked about using McCaffrey less in the regular season,
Speaker 2: keep him fresher for the postseason. Is that a reality?
Speaker 2: Can they actually get away with that?
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I haven't seen it in the past.
Speaker 3: Kyle Shanahan hasn't done that in the past, even with
Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey. So I know that this forty nine Ers
Speaker 3: coaching staff knows that this offense runs through Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 3: Sometimes you can just give him the ball, it doesn't
Speaker 3: have to be blocked up properly, and he's going to
Speaker 3: make something happen. He's their second best route runner on
Speaker 3: offense as a receiver, so he's a thread out of
Speaker 3: the backfield. So this offense runs through Christian McCaffrey. I
Speaker 3: don't think they'll try to take any off of his load.
Speaker 3: If you've seen him in training camp, this year. He
Speaker 3: looks phenomenal other than when he hurt the calf. So
Speaker 3: before the calf he was phenomenal. But he looks like
Speaker 3: he's going to be ready to go week one versus
Speaker 3: the Jets.
Speaker 4: How does how does the situation like what happened to
Speaker 4: Ricky Pearsall over the weekend? Were you were you with
Speaker 4: Pearsall at all of the the in the most recent days,
Speaker 4: you know, leading up to this incident on Saturday where
Speaker 4: you know, there was an attempted robbery and for those
Speaker 4: that missed it suffered a gunshot wound to the chest
Speaker 4: that did not strike any vital organs and Pearsall was
Speaker 4: released in the hospital yesterday. But but how does that
Speaker 4: sort of incident affect this team? And have you have
Speaker 4: you spoken with Pearsall recently?
Speaker 3: The ironic thing is I was a Ricky Piersall at
Speaker 3: an autograph signing in Daily City and we changed numbers.
Speaker 3: We spoke about the NFL season, a little bit about
Speaker 3: him being healthy and being ready to go week one.
Speaker 3: We changed numbers. I left, went to the airport, He
Speaker 3: left and went, you know, to a shopping area in
Speaker 3: San Francisco, and then I get a call say then
Speaker 3: he was somebody tried to rob him and he got shot.
Speaker 3: So I immediately sent him a message. He returned my
Speaker 3: message yesterday said everything was good.
Speaker 4: It's crazy.
Speaker 3: We were just together, and you know, it's just a
Speaker 3: learning experience for a lot of other guys out there.
Speaker 3: You have to always be aware just surroundings. You have
Speaker 3: to understand that you're a target, whether you want to
Speaker 3: believe so or not. So it's probably best to not
Speaker 3: wear a lot of those things in public right now,
Speaker 3: especially with the economic situations that's going on. And I'm
Speaker 3: glad that Ricky came out healthy. It was only God
Speaker 3: on their side. When you get shot in the chest
Speaker 3: and it doesn't hit any internal organ, that's God on
Speaker 3: your side. So I'll pray for speedy recovery for Ricky
Speaker 3: and you know, for you know, peace for his family
Speaker 3: through the situation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is it is absolutely crazy, Just a crazy,
Speaker 2: crazy story. Dante Whitner joining US NBC Sports Bear Area
Speaker 2: Corner pro bowler. He's joining US. I'm Doug Gottlieban for
Speaker 2: Dan and the Dan Nets here on the Dan Patrick
Speaker 2: Show on Fox Sports Radio. The you know, the Seahawks
Speaker 2: gone gone through some changes obviously, the Rams. You know,
Speaker 2: you lose the most dynamic defensive player. Uh, maybe in
Speaker 2: the entire league still in Aaron Donald, and you know
Speaker 2: the Cardinals are fairly competitive. Is there any legit challenger
Speaker 2: to the Niners in their division?
Speaker 3: I don't believe.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 3: I think that the forty nine ers are above, heads,
Speaker 3: above and beyond more talented than all those units. They
Speaker 3: all the forty nine ers have more continuity, they have
Speaker 3: more veteran leadership, and they've proven that they can get
Speaker 3: it done. And in the NFL, when you consecutive, consecutively
Speaker 3: beat teams in your division, there's a mental hurdle it
Speaker 3: they have to get over in order to beat the
Speaker 3: forty nine ers and then come into Santa Clara and
Speaker 3: beat the forty nine ers at home. So they have
Speaker 3: to prove that they can do that, which is going
Speaker 3: to be a tough feat. You have that championship, DNA,
Speaker 3: it's tough to take it. So it takes me back
Speaker 3: to the times when we had those clashes with the
Speaker 3: Seattle Seahawks, you know, during the horrball days. And I
Speaker 3: don't just I don't see anybody in the in the
Speaker 3: division that has that type of mental fort two in
Speaker 3: the type of physical for or two that the forty
Speaker 3: nine ers consistently have put on display. So I don't
Speaker 3: don't think so. The four niners are above are the
Speaker 3: best team you know, by far in that division.
Speaker 4: That may be a perfect transition to what your former
Speaker 4: coach is now facing with the Chargers. Do they have
Speaker 4: enough personnel to be successful? How do you think the
Speaker 4: Bolts will do in your one under Jim Marball.
Speaker 3: I think they'll do great. I went on the Ky
Speaker 3: Adams Show earlier this offseason and I predicted that I
Speaker 3: believe that he'll have the LA Chargers team in the
Speaker 3: AFC Championship. Me knowing, yeah, me knowing Jim Harball. And
Speaker 3: a lot of this is, you know, a lot of
Speaker 3: it is just attention to detail. It's holding guys accountable,
Speaker 3: which is why you hear a lot of organizations. Once
Speaker 3: Jim Harball leaves, he ruffles some feathers because he knows
Speaker 3: how to get it done and it's going to be
Speaker 3: his way of the highway, and that's where everybody involved.
Speaker 3: And then he has this thing where you're not going
Speaker 3: to be late for any meeting, You're not going to
Speaker 3: have any mental errors, You're going to be early. You're
Speaker 3: going to be a team player, whether you like it
Speaker 3: or not. And then having a quarterback, right, he's going
Speaker 3: to have a running game. He's going to have a
Speaker 3: dominant running game, a running game, a quarterback, and two
Speaker 3: edge rushers that can get after quarterbacks. This is the
Speaker 3: perfect situation for Jim Harbaugh to make his arrival back
Speaker 3: onto the NFL scene. So I'll predict that he's going
Speaker 3: to have this Chargers team in the AFC Championship.
Speaker 2: Dante Whitner, Dante, great stuff as always, man, Thanks so
Speaker 2: much for joining us here on the Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 2: We appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Thank you, guys. Have a good one.
Speaker 2: Dante Whitner joined us, of course, you can see his
Speaker 2: work on NBC Sports Bay Area with Dan Byro. I'm
Speaker 2: Doug Gollybian for Dan and the Dan Nets. That is
Speaker 2: a crazy story, right where you're hanging out with a
Speaker 2: guy and then all of a sudden he get shot.
Speaker 2: He got shot in the chest and then was fine.
Speaker 4: Yeah, spent a night in the hospital and it's crazy,
Speaker 4: but it's not as crazy when you consider that Brian
Speaker 4: Robinson and the Commanders was remember karjacked two years ago.
Speaker 4: Go leading up to the season, and he was shot
Speaker 4: a couple of times, you know, in the leg ended
Speaker 4: up returning and playing that season. But this is just,
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just it's it's it's crazy to think
Speaker 4: that this happened again. Yes, like, but it did. And yeah,
Speaker 4: thank goodness that he is he is okay, and hopefully
Speaker 4: he makes, you know, the type of recovery that that
Speaker 4: Brian Robinson ended up making.
Speaker 2: Uh, it's the It's the Dan Patrick Show here on
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio with Dan Byer. I'm Doug gallib Okay,
Speaker 2: So what is your level of buy in on the Niners.
Speaker 4: It's tough, Like I thought that Trent Williams thing was
Speaker 4: just I don't want to show up to training camp
Speaker 4: and maybe because the season is so long, maybe you
Speaker 4: don't want Trent Williams playing all seventeen games. This allows
Speaker 4: him to to, you know, do what he needs. But
Speaker 4: now with a Yuke in, they are all in on
Speaker 4: the season. But I don't know on how that sort
Speaker 4: of off season is conducive to this season. And he
Speaker 4: talked about the challenges of trying to come back from
Speaker 4: a Super Bowl loss, and remember they made it to
Speaker 4: the NFC Championship Game, where then Richard Sherman had the
Speaker 4: breakup pass on Michael Crabtree and the interception by Malcolm
Speaker 4: Smith to steal it for the Seahawks. But they were
Speaker 4: knocking on the door again of a back to back
Speaker 4: Super Bowl and then is not easy to do when
Speaker 4: you lose it. And I just think that there are
Speaker 4: challenges in trying to take that whole road back. I mean,
Speaker 4: they were an overtime away from winning a Super Bowl
Speaker 4: and now you got to do it all again. I
Speaker 4: just think that there are going to be hiccups this
Speaker 4: season that we just can't see right now. With the
Speaker 4: forty nine ers.
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't think there's any question. There's any question.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you. The thing I do like that they've
Speaker 2: done is many teams I think we talked about this
Speaker 2: a lot. Teams that lose Super Bowls, it usually takes
Speaker 2: them longer to get back than does ten teams that
Speaker 2: win the Super Bowls. And why is that? And we
Speaker 2: have this a lot with team that when they go
Speaker 2: to conference championship games or conference finals in basketball ahead
Speaker 2: of maybe ahead of schedule, is that your results of
Speaker 2: the playoffs make you think you're closer than you are.
Speaker 2: And so you're like, oh, one player here or one
Speaker 2: player there, like that doesn't get you over the hump.
Speaker 2: You got to continue with whatever kind of got you there.
Speaker 2: And that's what I like about the Niners is to
Speaker 2: this point they haven't made drastic moves. They're trying to
Speaker 2: run it back, and I do think like this is
Speaker 2: kind of the last year of it right where you
Speaker 2: just kind of try and get through. And you know,
Speaker 2: Deebo Samuel's the guy they resigned, was that they going
Speaker 2: back to last year. It's basically two year deal, so
Speaker 2: you see, if you can keep him healthy. Trent Williams
Speaker 2: like he's still very good, He's not what he was
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, and so you got to
Speaker 2: factor all that in with the new contract that's coming
Speaker 2: for brock Perty. So I like the fact that they
Speaker 2: haven't changed a ton and that they'll have more cohesion.
Speaker 2: But again, we've seen so many of these teams, not
Speaker 2: named the Patriots lose the Super Bowl and then fall
Speaker 2: off the next year that that has happened a lot
Speaker 2: a lot in this league. The thing I think it's
Speaker 2: interesting is I think the NFC is incredibly competitive. You know,
Speaker 2: for a long time we've talked about the AFCU, but
Speaker 2: I think that division. I think the Rams offensively can
Speaker 2: be special, and defensively, we'll see without Aaron Donald, you know,
Speaker 2: like I actually think the Cardinals are gonna be pretty good.
Speaker 2: But the bigger one is, you know you had Eagles,
Speaker 2: you got The NFC North, I think is better across
Speaker 2: the board. Obviously we saw how good the Lions were
Speaker 2: last year. Well, I think we all think the Packers
Speaker 2: should be better with most of their whole team back
Speaker 2: and with a new defense. The NFC South is really
Speaker 2: kind of the unknown. It doesn't look great on paper,
Speaker 2: but oftentimes that that surprises m Yeah.
Speaker 4: The only thing that I would say to that in
Speaker 4: the NFC overview because the team that I'm picking going
Speaker 4: to the super Bowl is the Detroit Lions. And the
Speaker 4: thing that I love about Detroit is I haven't heard
Speaker 4: anything about Detroit this preseason. And I think that is
Speaker 4: aside from a Jamier Gibbs injury that he should be
Speaker 4: fine for this Sunday's game against the Rams, there's nothing.
Speaker 4: There's nothing from Detroit, and I think that is exactly
Speaker 4: how you want it. I think there's questions in Philadelphia,
Speaker 4: there's questions in Dallas. You mentioned the NFC South. I
Speaker 4: think we think Atlanta can challenge Tampa Bay, but that
Speaker 4: in that you know NFC North Division, where we think
Speaker 4: the Bears and Packers are going to be the teams,
Speaker 4: and they're the ones that they're getting the hype. I
Speaker 4: actually love that no one is talking about the Lions.
Speaker 2: It's fair point, pair point, and we don't know. You
Speaker 2: know what we'll see from the Vikings with Sam Donald's
Speaker 2: quarterback Caleb Williams on paper appears to be a little better,
Speaker 2: But you're right for alliance. For a team that has
Speaker 2: been thrust into the spotlight after years and years of misery,
Speaker 2: you would think there'd be some trash talks, some bragged dosies,
Speaker 2: anything off the field, and Dan Campbell's bunch hasn't given
Speaker 2: us any of that.
Speaker 4: Nothing at all. It's hazy nothing.
Speaker 2: It's almost like they don't exist, which is how most
Speaker 2: of those guys, most of those coaches like it. He's
Speaker 2: Dan Byrom Doug Gottlie. Many consider Labor Day a symbolic
Speaker 2: end the summer, so we'll do it like a summer
Speaker 2: memories drop next to The Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 5: Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast. Be
Speaker 5: sure to catch us live every weekday morning nine until
Speaker 5: noon eastern six to nine Pacific on Fox Sports Radio,
Speaker 5: and you can find us on the iHeartRadio app at
Speaker 5: FSR or stream us live on the Peacock app.
Speaker 2: It's the Dan Patrick Show Fox Sports Radio. So today
Speaker 2: is the official or unofficial last day of summer, right Dan?
Speaker 4: Unofficial? Yes, the official is in like three weeks.
Speaker 2: Okay. If I have a piece, I have a I've
Speaker 2: become a big note ticker if I were to write
Speaker 2: down the ten best things from the summer twenty twenty
Speaker 2: four sports because there's lots of other nonsports stuff which
Speaker 2: have been really fun in the summer, but sports wise,
Speaker 2: what would what would be on the list? We're brainstorming here,
Speaker 2: so Jay Stu you can hop in this one as well. Joel,
Speaker 2: you can happen if you know something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll start right off the gate. I always think
Speaker 4: that the the Olympics, yep, bring you know, would bring
Speaker 4: stuff to the headlines. Lebron crowning himself when the French
Speaker 4: fans were cheering for that, Leon Marshaan at the the
Speaker 4: arena definitely a top ten moment for me this summer
Speaker 4: and then he obviously crowned himself on the metal stand,
Speaker 4: which was fine, but when he thought they were cheering
Speaker 4: for him and they weren't one of the best, one
Speaker 4: of the best.
Speaker 1: We can I add subcategories to that, one that these
Speaker 1: don't need to be independent, These don't need to be
Speaker 1: a part of the official list. But breakdancer Raygun was
Speaker 1: amazingly amusing the reaction to her, Yeah, I mean she
Speaker 1: was off just awful. And then the pole vaulter who
Speaker 1: had the junk interfere with the gold.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, two.
Speaker 1: Of the biggest takeaways from the Olympics. I don't know
Speaker 1: if that that says the Olympics were a success or not, but.
Speaker 2: The three of the funniest things that have happened.
Speaker 1: And I guess that's what sicks for us because I
Speaker 1: don't watch the Olympics. I just watch how people react
Speaker 1: to the Olympics, and that's the only stuff that was
Speaker 1: on my to.
Speaker 2: I feel me either, but I would say, like Steph
Speaker 2: Curry four three is to win the gold medal, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was pretty awesome. And then the Martian dude, I thought, watching, Uh,
Speaker 2: why am I blanking on famous swimmer holds? All the records.
Speaker 2: Cheering for Marshan to break his records was pretty amazing
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what. Another thing that I think we're
Speaker 4: going to get sick of but is funny is the
Speaker 4: Katie ledecky mean yea where she's in the lane and uh,
Speaker 4: actually she's waiting.
Speaker 2: She one and then she's waiting for everybody else. Well
Speaker 2: she's like, she's like, I wish she would have done
Speaker 2: the whole lookier watch thing, Like.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's so great. There's just there's also just the
Speaker 4: screenshot if she's the only swimmer in the picture. Our
Speaker 4: buddy Nicope here at Fox Sports Radio, I think I
Speaker 4: got a family member that that texted him or said
Speaker 4: to him, why is Katie Ladecki swimming in a different
Speaker 4: direction as all the other swimmers? Yeah, because she was
Speaker 4: that far ahead.
Speaker 2: I can't think of anything baseball, So tell me something baseball.
Speaker 2: I know, I know Showeytan is awesome. I know he's
Speaker 2: gonna be the first forty four or forty four guy.
Speaker 2: I know he's gonna, you know, gonna be a fifty
Speaker 2: to fifty guy or get close to. But what what
Speaker 2: is the one thing from the summer.
Speaker 4: Summer of Judge, Aaron Judge leading the Yankees, done another
Speaker 4: historic season.
Speaker 2: Okay, do we have anything football wise?
Speaker 4: Yes? What you ready for this?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Off season hard Knocks with the New York Giants.
Speaker 2: Great, that's going it was.
Speaker 4: It was one of those things that I did not
Speaker 4: think would be anything, and it turned out to be
Speaker 4: the greatest thing. It reminds me of Boy Meets World.
Speaker 4: I was not in on Boy Meets World when it
Speaker 4: was When it was on and my buddy in college said,
Speaker 4: I love Boy Meets World. So I started to watch
Speaker 4: it because he watched it, And now to this day,
Speaker 4: I still love to watch old Boy Meets World episodes.
Speaker 4: I can't believe that I wasn't on that train earlier.
Speaker 4: But that's how I felt about this Hard Knocks as
Speaker 4: I was ready to poop poo it. Then I saw
Speaker 4: one episode ten minutes in and I was I was hooked.
Speaker 1: I've never watched one episode of boy it Meets World.
Speaker 1: Is it worth tapping into?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's It's it's just good family sitcom that is funny.
Speaker 4: I think the characters are great. Yeah, I love Boy
Speaker 4: Meets World.
Speaker 1: No, the I think the the opposite of the off
Speaker 1: season Hard Knocks this training camp, Hard Knocks has gotten
Speaker 1: almost zero buzz, like what's going on. The narratives just superficial.
Speaker 1: I watched the no I feel like they finished one.
Speaker 2: They've been well. I mean the big thing is you're
Speaker 2: not in the GM room, right, I mean there's no
Speaker 2: there's no Ryan Pace there, whereas everything with the Giants
Speaker 2: with Joe Shane and it was really really interesting Ryan Poles, right,
Speaker 2: Ryan Poles.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the old one was Ryan Pace.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Ryan Poles, my mistake. Ryan Poles wanted nothing,
Speaker 2: wants nothing to do with sharing any sort of any
Speaker 2: sort of the stuff going on behind the scenes, whereas
Speaker 2: yeahs did.
Speaker 4: And as we found out that mccaskeys don't want them
Speaker 4: to swear, so there's no swearing. It's a really it's
Speaker 4: a it's a difficult recipe and it makes you wonder
Speaker 4: on how they made it work early, like how did
Speaker 4: it become so good?
Speaker 1: More access and the cuts they don't do the brutal
Speaker 1: cuts anymore.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, and now I'll tell you what having the
Speaker 4: only the one cutdown day like you used to have
Speaker 4: the two that you could you know, maybe a guy
Speaker 4: would be bounced early. But you're also then guessing on
Speaker 4: who makes it and who doesn't make it. Yeah, there's
Speaker 4: a lot that, but I think that the point of
Speaker 4: the Giants and the inside access to that GM room
Speaker 4: and the conversations with the coaches and being candid and
Speaker 4: the combine is everything that we wanted, and in fact,
Speaker 4: I think that's what we also loved about the original
Speaker 4: Hard Knocks, the Joe philbin O Cho Sinko conversation, that's
Speaker 4: what we loved about it. But we don't get that anymore.
Speaker 2: No, we don't, And I don't understand the overprotective nature
Speaker 2: from these teams. Like every Hard Knocks I've ever ever watched,
Speaker 2: you walk away from loving everything about the team, like
Speaker 2: they do a great job of painting in a way
Speaker 2: in which, you know, there's usually very few negatives. The
Speaker 2: only one was when they did the Bengals and what's
Speaker 2: his name, Harrison, the Steeler who was there for one year,
Speaker 2: Like he just didn't want Harris James Harrison. He was
Speaker 2: just he was so in character the whole time, You're like, dude, stop.
Speaker 2: But other than that, I can't remember disliking anybody who's
Speaker 2: been on Hard Knocks. You know, I thought, you know,
Speaker 2: JJ Watt was super cheesy and over the top and
Speaker 2: practices being on like field seven over by himself, you know,
Speaker 2: when he didn't need to and they're filming it, like
Speaker 2: making swim moves, like come on, some of that's been
Speaker 2: cheesy in the past. But yeah, this year just has
Speaker 2: not hit. And I don't think it's because the Bears
Speaker 2: aren't interesting. I think they're portraying themselves in the least
Speaker 2: interesting possible way, as if there's something to protect themselves.
Speaker 4: From anything else. Yeah, I got I got another thing
Speaker 4: in the world of golf because golf has just been
Speaker 4: doa for most of the year because of the split
Speaker 4: between the PGA Tour and Lived Golf. And I had
Speaker 4: a buddy ask me, what did you remember about the
Speaker 4: majors this past year and ago? That they were awful?
Speaker 4: That was my immediate response, and then I said that
Speaker 4: was actually wrong, because the PGA Championship was exciting and
Speaker 4: the best thing about it was actually the US Open,
Speaker 4: Rory McElroy and Bryson to Shambo going down to the
Speaker 4: wired Rory missing the two putts on sixteen and eighteen.
Speaker 4: But it was also the evolution of Bryson to Shambo
Speaker 4: becoming this guy that now everybody was loving and this
Speaker 4: this new personality and to see his excitement, and it
Speaker 4: started at the PGA and carried over to the US Open.
Speaker 4: As a golf fan, that's what you want. And on
Speaker 4: of course, like Pinehurst number two, it was great theater.
Speaker 4: It didn't carry over anywhere. There wasn't any lasting effect
Speaker 4: of it. But you want to talk about summer memories,
Speaker 4: I'll remember the twenty twenty four US Open and how
Speaker 4: it ended.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to remember. Was it the PGA Championship
Speaker 1: where the best golfer in the world got arrested? Yes,
Speaker 1: sunny show. Yeah, I was going to read I remember
Speaker 1: that one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it wasn't May, but close enough.
Speaker 1: That's the unofficial start of summer.
Speaker 4: That counts. Okay, that count? Joel?
Speaker 2: Does that count? Does May count? May counts? Right? I
Speaker 2: mean it's this count golf or.
Speaker 4: Some schools are out. Sure, I'll give you that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all right. Any any of your other best
Speaker 2: ten best things this summer? I do think ray Gun
Speaker 2: definitely tops the list, as as does the favorite pole
Speaker 2: vaulter of Jason.
Speaker 4: I love how no one mentioned anything with the NBA finals.
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum's gonna be posted.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh that was the summer.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I guess we'll never know. That's me mocking
Speaker 4: Jason Tatum. That was Yeah, that's that's all it was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was that was I guess they'll never know.
Speaker 2: For Dan Byer, for Jason Stewart. From my guy Joel,
Speaker 2: I'm Doug Gottlieb. This has been the Dan Patrick Show.
