Speaker 3: Take your phone calls good morning.
Speaker 2: If you're watching on Peacock, our streaming partner, download the
Speaker 2: app if you haven't done so. Got a lot of
Speaker 2: football and this is where you're gonna have to listen
Speaker 2: because you might not be aware of where the playoff
Speaker 2: games are going to be aired tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Now you got football tonight.
Speaker 2: This is going to be Notre Dame in Indiana, and
Speaker 2: that pointspread has gone down a little bit. I think
Speaker 2: it was seven and a half now it's six and
Speaker 2: a half. So that game is going to be on ABC.
Speaker 2: And then you've got the NFL games on Saturday. You've
Speaker 2: got two good games here. You've got the Chiefs and
Speaker 2: the Texans, and then you've got the Steelers and the Ravens. Well,
Speaker 2: guess where you can find those games, Paul.
Speaker 5: The NFL games tomorrow you can find on we'll please.
Speaker 3: NBC.
Speaker 5: Texans at Chiefs NBC and Peacock Steelers at Ravens is
Speaker 5: on Fox, Big Fox.
Speaker 3: Okay, those are easy. And then you have the college games.
Speaker 5: Twelve o'clock noon Eastern SMU. Penn State is on TNT.
Speaker 3: That is new.
Speaker 5: Most people did not know that. Interestingly enough, South Dakota
Speaker 5: State North Dakota State are on ABC. South Dakota Montana
Speaker 5: State are on ABC. Easy to find. Clemson versus Texas
Speaker 5: is on TNT four o'clock eastern. Tennessee versus Ohio State
Speaker 5: is ABC and ESPN simultaneously at eight pm Eastern.
Speaker 2: All right, and the point spreads courtesy of DraftKings. So
Speaker 2: Indiana is a six and a half point underdog at
Speaker 2: Notre Dame. It's snowing now. I think in South Bend
Speaker 2: SMU that line's been around nine nine and a half.
Speaker 2: It's now nine versus Penn State. Clemson is still getting
Speaker 2: twelve against Texas and Tennessee is getting seven and a half.
Speaker 3: At the Ohio State.
Speaker 2: So that's your football schedule for tonight and tomorrow.
Speaker 6: Yes, time you think tn T can get Barkley to
Speaker 6: participate in inside the CFP, just give them little extra work.
Speaker 4: What do you think.
Speaker 2: They probably asked him, knowing them, Let's squeeze out everything
Speaker 2: we can with Charles. But I don't think you know,
Speaker 2: as he said, he only wants to work one day
Speaker 2: a week. But TNT will have some college football for you,
Speaker 2: all right, we'll have a pull question, play of the day,
Speaker 2: stat of the day, all of that coming up. Chargers.
Speaker 2: Chargers came back to beat the Broncos. The Chargers did
Speaker 2: something that's uncharger like. They came back and they won
Speaker 2: this game, a close game, and they're now nine and six.
Speaker 2: Denver is nine and six, And if you start to
Speaker 2: look at what the rest of the regular season looks like,
Speaker 2: the Broncos got a really big game at the Bengals
Speaker 2: and then they host the Chiefs, and the Broncos can
Speaker 2: only hope that that game against the Chiefs doesn't mean
Speaker 2: anything for the Chiefs, and maybe Carson Wentz is the
Speaker 2: starting quarterback, not Patrick Mahomes now the Chargers. The Chargers
Speaker 2: next two game at the Patriots and at the Raiders,
Speaker 2: and they won both games against Denver this year, so
Speaker 2: they won the tiebreaker. Todd has to take a pie
Speaker 2: of the face later on today.
Speaker 4: And wear this shirt. Football is fun Chargers shirt.
Speaker 3: You got your Justin Herbert Football is fun t shirt on.
Speaker 6: If I pass out for some reason, it's not because
Speaker 6: I'm upset about the loss. It's because the shirt is
Speaker 6: so tight that I'm losing blood supply to vital organs.
Speaker 3: Did that ever fit?
Speaker 4: To put it on this morning? You would think it
Speaker 4: never fit. But there was a time when it fit
Speaker 4: like a little it But now it's just very young,
Speaker 4: barely snug.
Speaker 2: You're a gamer and uh hey you pay off your
Speaker 2: bets so you get a pie to the face. So

Speaker 2: a third? Put it on the Oh, here's a turntable.
Speaker 2: Just letting you know too. That's what we used to
Speaker 2: do in the old days. What do we have photographed?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 10: We had one from yesterday that I never I put up,
Speaker 10: but we never talked about.
Speaker 2: Would you rather be a great singer or guitar player?
Speaker 2: And I think I'd rather be a great guitar player. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like I would be Slash.
Speaker 10: Heck, yeah, dude's Slasher rather than Axel Rose and Axel.
Speaker 3: Yes, like Jimmy Page didn't sing for Led Zeppelin. Jimmy
Speaker 3: Page is probably the coolest person that's ever lived.
Speaker 2: He's certainly guitar a good gig. Yeah, he was just like,
Speaker 2: you just play guitar, you don't have to sing at all, Jimmy.
Speaker 5: Yes, Paul, So you could be Eddie van Halen and
Speaker 5: Van Halen or David Lee Roth. Correct, Yeah you're Eddie
Speaker 5: van Halen.
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, absolutely, Marv? What about you?
Speaker 4: You'd rather be a guitar player?
Speaker 2: See you sound like it feels like you know you're
Speaker 2: named after Marvin gay that you would want to be
Speaker 2: a great singer, or do you think you already are
Speaker 2: a great singer.
Speaker 6: I'm with the draws in the shower, but I'd rather
Speaker 6: be a great guitar Marvin Gaye was a great musician also,
Speaker 6: but I'd rather be a great guitar player than a
Speaker 6: great singer.
Speaker 3: Okay. I've heard Marvin Prince sing a little bit. I
Speaker 3: think he could sing.
Speaker 10: I think I think what he's doing is being nice
Speaker 10: because he doesn't want to ruin Todd's thing.
Speaker 3: Todd's like the singer actually can sing.
Speaker 5: Todd's the singer.
Speaker 3: Todd's like the singer of the group.
Speaker 10: We just brought in another guy who I could probably
Speaker 10: sing better, but he's just like nah, I want to do.
Speaker 3: That to him.
Speaker 2: Okay, your lane, Prince, should we have a sing off?
Speaker 11: Yes?
Speaker 3: End of the year sing off? Marvin?
Speaker 2: Would you be up for a sing off against Fritzy?
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, okay, I love it, Okay, Okay. What
Speaker 2: we're what we're gonna do is you get twenty seconds
Speaker 2: of the song that you choose, Okay, and if you
Speaker 2: want to give it a little thought, we can do that,
Speaker 2: and I'll give you time to warm up to sit
Speaker 2: maybe you know, next hour, I got JJ Watt joining
Speaker 2: us in about ten minutes, and I will be the judge.
Speaker 2: I'll be the Simon Cowell here, you guys, okay with that?
Speaker 3: To Todd?
Speaker 2: Twenty seconds of your favorite song? More than twenty seconds
Speaker 2: of your favorite.
Speaker 4: That's a good time. That's a holiday. It's holiday fun?
Speaker 7: Is that?
Speaker 3: And who knows if this may lead to Most Valuable Dan.
Speaker 4: Or an invitation to who's got America's got talent? Dude?
Speaker 3: No no nos out there?
Speaker 4: You don't know who's listening. You never know?
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 4: Wow, did you hear that guy the Dad Patrick Show?
Speaker 4: He should be up with your son to Hollywood.
Speaker 2: Speaking speaking of that guy on the Dan Patrick Show,
Speaker 2: thank you for the reaction to Steven Wilson Junior yesterday
Speaker 2: in the final hour of the show. And he got
Speaker 2: a chance to do a couple of songs, and I
Speaker 2: hope he becomes something big. I think he's got a
Speaker 2: lot of talent, interesting voice and just interesting sound to him.
Speaker 2: Speaking of which, Buddha in San Francisco, Hi Buddha.
Speaker 12: No body, Happy meet Friday Boys and Fritzy the Chargers
Speaker 12: are who they.
Speaker 13: Thought they were. They let them off the hook last night.
Speaker 1: Not good.
Speaker 4: DP.
Speaker 13: My two words for the show this week would be
Speaker 13: engaging and delightful. And to begin, Dan, you got to
Speaker 13: take up Charles on his debt. Just drop the eighth
Speaker 13: straight from the charity stripe and walk it off and
Speaker 13: deposit into the twenty five k to the cause of
Speaker 13: your choice.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 13: I mean, but not a lot of things have made
Speaker 13: me tear up on this show. I mean, Fritzy has
Speaker 13: been close to make me tear up. But Stephen Wilson
Speaker 13: Junior the third yesterday, I am in in my god.
Speaker 13: I mean, I hope that man left the studio with
Speaker 13: the d D D d C shirt. At least one
Speaker 13: of my favorite, one of my favorite parts of the shows.
Speaker 13: He drops in against the grain in one of the verses.
Speaker 13: It was like, awesome, man, and I just wanted to
Speaker 13: call him Dan.
Speaker 12: Wish you and Dan Nation.
Speaker 13: A very merry Fritzmas.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Buddha, you too. Yeah, Steven Wilson, it was
Speaker 2: a lot of fun to have him in. And uh,
Speaker 2: he's kind of become a viral sensation here and you
Speaker 2: can see him. He's been touring not not a lot
Speaker 2: or big places, but you know, maybe this is his start.
Speaker 3: But I heard it. It moved me.
Speaker 2: And the song I Am I'm a song is basically
Speaker 2: about his dad that he'll always be there. Whenever he
Speaker 2: hears that song, his dad is always there, So uh,
Speaker 2: it was very, very powerful. You can go to Danpatrick
Speaker 2: dot com if you miss anything on the show, and
Speaker 2: uh that's available as well. You can vote on most
Speaker 2: valuable Dan at and uh, I'll be the one deciding
Speaker 2: on the most valuable backroom guy because you're probably not
Speaker 2: aware of the roster there. Some of the b are jeez,
Speaker 2: but not everybody who does a lot of great work
Speaker 2: on this show. All right, we're just getting started. We'll
Speaker 2: settle on a poll question. Fritzy is fired up? Fired up?
Speaker 6: I'm so bummed by what happened last night and I
Speaker 6: got this crazy energy of no sleep being depressed.
Speaker 4: About how Denver blew that game.
Speaker 3: Okay, and now we're back though, yeah, positive, Yeah, Now
Speaker 3: let's go energy. Let's entertain a nation should do that
Speaker 3: every days.
Speaker 2: Super Bowl Todd, just because the Broncos won't be there,
Speaker 2: does it mean.
Speaker 4: Wow, that's not a couple of days before Christmas?
Speaker 3: It is true. It is probably true.
Speaker 4: But they will have to beat the Bengals now and
Speaker 4: the Chiefs.
Speaker 6: They're gonna have to do that.
Speaker 3: What happened when they lost last night, the day they
Speaker 3: have to win.
Speaker 4: They got swept by the one There, one and four
Speaker 4: in the division. Everybody knows this.

Speaker 2: JJ Watt, future Hall of Famer, works with the NFL
Speaker 2: today on CBS and he's working Christmas Day Chief Steelers
Speaker 2: game on Netflix one Eastern with Iron Eagle handling play
Speaker 2: by play color duties there.
Speaker 3: So, how many times? How many games have you done
Speaker 3: as an analyst at a game?
Speaker 7: I've been called an actual game broadcasting wise live obviously,
Speaker 7: I've done the studio and everything, and we practice together.
Speaker 7: But first one very much looking.
Speaker 3: Forward to Okay, what advice have you been given.
Speaker 7: I think mostly it's it's be yourself, it's share your experiences,
Speaker 7: but also don't overdo it. For me personally, I've just
Speaker 7: this year watched games much closer and I've just seen
Speaker 7: what I like, what I don't like. And for me personally,
Speaker 7: I love it when the announcer watches the game like
Speaker 7: a fan and talks like a fan, but then subtly
Speaker 7: interjects here and there the knowledge and experience they have.
Speaker 7: But I don't want to be overly technical. I don't
Speaker 7: want to lose people with football jargon. I want to
Speaker 7: kind of enjoy the game the same way the fan does.
Speaker 2: That's great advice, and you're not asking for it, but
Speaker 2: I'll give it to you anyways. Get those fifteen second
Speaker 2: moments where you analyze something and then get out of
Speaker 2: the way. For Iron Eagle, because it's really the most
Speaker 2: important thing is he's able to do the play by play.
Speaker 2: Your color commentary is needed, but you still have to
Speaker 2: give him that time to bring it back and say,
Speaker 2: you know, third and ten, you know for the Texans
Speaker 2: or whatever it might be. But being able to compartmentalize something,
Speaker 2: say what you want to say for fifteen seconds and
Speaker 2: then get out of the way that's an art.
Speaker 7: And absolutely, yeah, he's the best. I love. I'm very
Speaker 7: very much looking forward to We have Naperlissa in the
Speaker 7: booth too, so it's going to be a lot of fun.
Speaker 7: I've I went and watched the Ardnoal's Bears game with
Speaker 7: Ian and Charles, so I got to sit there and
Speaker 7: just watch them work and see how they work together.
Speaker 7: And we've been we've been buddies for a while, so
Speaker 7: it's been great.
Speaker 3: When's the last time you gave advice to your brother?
Speaker 3: Yesterday about.
Speaker 7: We were talking about his ankle and we were talking
Speaker 7: about just the recovery and all that. We talk every
Speaker 7: single day, so we talk about the game, we talk
Speaker 7: about life, we talk about injuries, everything he's playing.
Speaker 2: Yes, what advice do you give him a playing through
Speaker 2: a high ankle sprain.
Speaker 7: I mean, it's much more about the preparation everything during
Speaker 7: the week and getting yourself to game day than it
Speaker 7: is on game day. On game day you kind of
Speaker 7: let the adrenaline take over. I mean, there may be
Speaker 7: a couple of things here and there you can do differently,
Speaker 7: but once the game starts, if you're thinking about your ankle,
Speaker 7: you're not going to have a good day. So I'd
Speaker 7: rather him not think about it than be out there
Speaker 7: trying to think, Okay, if I do this move, it's
Speaker 7: not good for me. That's no good.
Speaker 2: The difference between pain and an injury.
Speaker 7: I mean, especially with an ankle like things like this.
Speaker 7: I mean, the sprain is literally an injury. It's just
Speaker 7: been it's painful. But there's just different levels that you
Speaker 7: can play through. I agree with you, and I know
Speaker 7: the old school thing, like there's guys that can play
Speaker 7: through pain and then there's legitimate injuries that you can't
Speaker 7: play through. But there is a degree of difference. And
Speaker 7: I also think that depending on the team and depending
Speaker 7: on where you are on the standings and if you're
Speaker 7: in the playoff hunt or not, I think the willingness
Speaker 7: to play through either one is different for every guy.
Speaker 2: Well just look at the lines with David Montgomery and
Speaker 2: Aiden Hutchinson. They're like, hey, we're Montgomery's going to hold
Speaker 2: off surgery just in case, you know, they go far
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. I mean that mental and these games
Speaker 2: mean something too, so that you know the extra motivation.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, And I mean I think there's that old
Speaker 7: school mentality as well. Like, let's just figure it out.
Speaker 7: I mean, there's been plenty of times in my career
Speaker 7: where they're giving you a decision. They're like, you can
Speaker 7: get this fixed now and you're going to be out,
Speaker 7: or you can hold off until the offseason, or maybe
Speaker 7: it gets better over time. But most of the time
Speaker 7: competitors are pushing it off until whenever. Maybe I should
Speaker 7: have not pushed it off a few more times.
Speaker 3: Well, I was wondering.
Speaker 2: You know, you look back on that you played through
Speaker 2: a lot of gruesome injuries there. If you had to
Speaker 2: do it again, could you have done it differently.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's more about the recovery from the injuries than
Speaker 7: it was the actual injuries. I think twenty twenty fifteen
Speaker 7: was the year that I was by far the most
Speaker 7: banged up and just crazy amount of stuff. So after
Speaker 7: the season we had to fix a lot. But it's
Speaker 7: the recovery process that I wish I would have done differently.
Speaker 7: I always wanted to be the fastest back from recovery.
Speaker 7: I always wanted to be back on the field quickly.
Speaker 7: I wanted to show my teammates, the fans, everybody, I'm
Speaker 7: doing whatever I can to get back out there and
Speaker 7: there's probably a few times that I didn't let the
Speaker 7: whole process play out before going back out there, which
Speaker 7: I should.
Speaker 3: Playing in snow how much of an.
Speaker 7: Hurdle for a pass rusher. Yeah, not fun for a
Speaker 7: pass rusher at all, because that's your whole advantage is edges, corners,
Speaker 7: turning grip, and you just literally lose all of that.
Speaker 7: So very very frustrating.
Speaker 2: Okay, how does an advantage How does an offensive lineman
Speaker 2: take advantage of that? Or a quarterback take advantage of
Speaker 2: you trying to rush into snow?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean in theory, you should have significantly more time. Now,
Speaker 7: the same issue plays out with his receivers. They can't
Speaker 7: cut the same they can't make the same breaks, So
Speaker 7: he's going to have a tougher time there. But in
Speaker 7: theory it should be more difficult. You're probably going to
Speaker 7: get some more bull rushes because a guy is going
Speaker 7: to try and run through you as opposed to speed
Speaker 7: rushing around an edge. Yes, you can change your cleats,
Speaker 7: Yes you can wear seven studs, you can put longer,
Speaker 7: but it's hard.
Speaker 2: We're talking to JJ Watt and he'll be on the
Speaker 2: call Christmas Day. It's Chiefs and the Steelers that'll be
Speaker 2: on Netflix at one Eastern. How will you be in critiquing,
Speaker 2: analyzing your brother doing again, I'm.
Speaker 7: Going to be I mean lessen. People are like, oh,
Speaker 7: he's going to be so biased for his brother. The
Speaker 7: same thing was on the other side. The Chiefs are
Speaker 7: the Chiefs, Like I'm going to be talking good about
Speaker 7: Patrick Mahomes news flash. So people are going to say
Speaker 7: he's biased for the Chiefs. I'm not going to deny
Speaker 7: the fact that he's my brother during the broadcast. He
Speaker 7: is still my brother. I am still We're still blood related.
Speaker 7: But I have no problem saying what I'm seeing. I mean,
Speaker 7: if I'm seeing that he's you know, he's getting caught
Speaker 7: on a certain pass rusher it's not working, or if
Speaker 7: a run comes his way and it goes through that gap,
Speaker 7: like that's that's real.
Speaker 9: I'm not.
Speaker 7: I do want to be a good announcer, so I
Speaker 7: Am going to do my best there. But he also
Speaker 7: on the flip side of that, he's also one of
Speaker 7: the best players in the entire world. So if he
Speaker 7: makes a good play and I get excited about it,
Speaker 7: news slash, that's what you do when great players make
Speaker 7: great plays.
Speaker 3: How was your approach to Mahomes.
Speaker 7: For the game, for calling the game, or playing against him.
Speaker 3: Playing against him.
Speaker 7: Sadly didn't have much success there because with the quarterback,
Speaker 7: what you do is you look for their drop spot.
Speaker 7: What yardage do they drop to because as a pass rusher,
Speaker 7: that's where you want to go. So most guys are
Speaker 7: somewhere in the seven and a half to eight and
Speaker 7: a half yard range. The problem with Pat is you
Speaker 7: rush to that point, and he knows he has the
Speaker 7: arm strength to throw the ball from anywhere on the field.
Speaker 7: So if you rush to that point, his first look
Speaker 7: is always going to be that big gap. He loves
Speaker 7: to rush up in the B gap, which is between
Speaker 7: the guard and tackle, so if he can get it
Speaker 7: away in there, he's going to take it. But if
Speaker 7: that's closed off by a d tackle, well he's just
Speaker 7: going to drop back paying fifteen twenty yards and he
Speaker 7: knows he can make that throw from there. So you
Speaker 7: can't just rush to a spot with Pat because he's
Speaker 7: not going to be at that spot, whereas some other
Speaker 7: guys can't do that because they don't have the arm strength.
Speaker 7: Him and Josh Allen are two of the best at
Speaker 7: that and it's extremely frustrating. So the number one thing
Speaker 7: in my opinion, you have to have against Pat is
Speaker 7: obviously a good edge rusher, but then you need that
Speaker 7: inside push because if you can take away that B
Speaker 7: gap and get those guys up in his face as well,
Speaker 7: at least now I know as an edge rusher, I
Speaker 7: can rush a little higher, so I can also take
Speaker 7: away that deep drop back.
Speaker 2: Were there certain quarterbacks that you knew or thought that
Speaker 2: maybe they were going to get preferential treatment, so you
Speaker 2: had to maybe modify how.
Speaker 3: You were going to hit them.
Speaker 7: Hitting the quarterback is an art, and it is an
Speaker 7: art that I was very proud to have a high
Speaker 7: degree because there are certainly ways to do it that
Speaker 7: you can are still allowed to hit them and not
Speaker 7: get fined and not get penalized. It took me a
Speaker 7: lot of fines and penalties to figure out where that
Speaker 7: line was, but I got it. And it really is
Speaker 7: a skill, and I think that you have to be
Speaker 7: able to utilize that skill because laying hits on a
Speaker 7: quarterback also does affect the game, even if it's not
Speaker 7: a sack. So knowing that you have that step step
Speaker 7: and a half and using it is huge I do think,
Speaker 7: and I'm not naive to the fact that I may
Speaker 7: have gotten a little preferential treatment myself in the fact
Speaker 7: that I built up repertoire and the refs understood that
Speaker 7: I knew the rules and so I was going to
Speaker 7: stay within them, but I was always going to push it.
Speaker 7: But yeah, I mean you can. It's extremely hard, and
Speaker 7: I get frustrated with some of these rough in the passers,
Speaker 7: but you absolutely can find ways to hit the quarterback legally.
Speaker 2: I always thought that a quarterback hurry was an underrated
Speaker 2: stat that we do get focused on sacks. But I
Speaker 2: still like when I watch Max Crosby, he may not
Speaker 2: get there, but you know that he's there.
Speaker 7: So I like a quarterback hit over a pressure or
Speaker 7: a hurry because that means that, like, first of all,
Speaker 7: it's a literal thing that you can quantify. You can
Speaker 7: see the hit and he hit him, and you know
Speaker 7: what it is. Pressures and hurries. I get real iffy
Speaker 7: about because I don't understand how these people are saying,
Speaker 7: what's a pressure, what's a hurry? What happens if it's
Speaker 7: a screen and they let you through. Is this a
Speaker 7: distance to the quarterback before he throws the ball. What
Speaker 7: are those? So I'm a big fan of quarterback hit
Speaker 7: because that means you were within a step of him
Speaker 7: because you didn't get a penalty and you hit him.
Speaker 7: Either he threw it or he didn't. But I agree
Speaker 7: with you there, you can affect the play without sacks.
Speaker 7: But I will also say pressures and hurries are like
Speaker 7: saying would have scored a touchdown, like the receiver was open,
Speaker 7: the quarterback just didn't throw it to him. Well, it's
Speaker 7: a results driven business. Either scored a touchdown or you
Speaker 7: didn't score a touchdown. Either won the game or you didn't.
Speaker 7: We need to get sacks, that's the goal.
Speaker 3: Best team in the AMC is who.
Speaker 7: I mean, you can't you can't say anybody but the
Speaker 7: Chiefs until they're proven otherwise. I mean, it's the it's
Speaker 7: the debate right now, like are they doing what the
Speaker 7: Chiefs do and figuring it out as the year goes
Speaker 7: on and they're just they have the clutch geam and
Speaker 7: they're going to keep it going. It's tough to say
Speaker 7: their defense is so good, but I mean the Bills
Speaker 7: are just the Bills are rolling right now. It's just
Speaker 7: their defense that scares you because they are giving up
Speaker 7: a ton of points that offenses. I mean, Josh Allen's
Speaker 7: playing superhuman right now. I'm calling the game in five days,
Speaker 7: so I'm gonna go with the Chiefs one a great game.
Speaker 3: What's it like to tackle Josh Allen?
Speaker 7: I think I so I played against him more earlier
Speaker 7: in his career, so it was probably maybe a little
Speaker 7: bit easy year then because he wasn't as settling and comfortable.
Speaker 7: So I've had some fun tackling Josh, but it's not
Speaker 7: fun chasing him around. He's big, he's fast, he's mobile,
Speaker 7: uh and he also has a great arm. But had
Speaker 7: a good one on him in the playoffs down there
Speaker 7: in Houston. I really enjoyed that.
Speaker 2: I was amazed when I saw Cam Newton in person.
Speaker 7: Cam is one of the only times that I really,
Speaker 7: you know, we've we've collided and you get up, You're
Speaker 7: like that was a collision. We both like it was
Speaker 7: a stunt and I wrapped around in the middle and
Speaker 7: he started to scramble right up the middle and we
Speaker 7: just neither of us kind of saw each other and
Speaker 7: at the last second we did it and it was
Speaker 7: one of those where we both went down right where
Speaker 7: we were. Neither gave round and you just look at nice.
Speaker 2: But you know, do you want those matchups there or
Speaker 2: would you rather, you know, try to chase Kyler Murray.
Speaker 7: No, I don't. I don't like chasing anybody. Dan. I'm
Speaker 7: gonna be honest with you. I prefer if they just
Speaker 7: stood there in the pocket. But then you have the
Speaker 7: guys that do that Brady who gets the ball out
Speaker 7: in one point four seconds, and you're like, all right,
Speaker 7: I can't, I can't even get there. Peyton was nice,
Speaker 7: I like, I like, you know, you know, uh, it
Speaker 7: was good, but I mean he also tortured us. I
Speaker 7: think he threw his fifty fifth touchdown pass against us.
Speaker 7: So I can't I can't even say anything there. Luck
Speaker 7: was Luck was another good one. I like chasing Luck around.
Speaker 7: We had some good battles, uh Me and Andrew Luck
Speaker 7: and then he was obviously always very cordial afterwards.
Speaker 3: Did you give your teammates Christmas gifts?
Speaker 7: Yes, the D line generally, what what did you give him?
Speaker 7: There's a there's a different level. So like actually early
Speaker 7: in my career, my first Defense Player of the Year, I
Speaker 7: gave the whole defense custom iPads that was early and
Speaker 7: then as it went on, it was there's a lot
Speaker 7: of a lot of beverages over the years, very nice beverages.
Speaker 7: Was you know, backpacks, designer and backpacks, things like that.
Speaker 7: Never never pick up trucks. That's a new one for me.
Speaker 7: There's a lot of I saw Ryan Fitzpatrick tweet it today,
Speaker 7: but he was right. There's a lot of questions I
Speaker 7: have about that from a tax standpoint, from registration standpoint,
Speaker 7: from an insurance standpoint. Uh, we'd love to see the
Speaker 7: logistics behind that.
Speaker 2: Is Uh, you ready for Christmas at home? You're gonna
Speaker 2: be on Like how tough is that? Like you've got
Speaker 2: to go Christmas Day? How big is your son?
Speaker 7: Uh? He is too, and he's large as you would expect,
Speaker 7: So it's it is tough. That's there's no question that's tough.
Speaker 7: But I'm leaving. Uh So I'm going to see him
Speaker 7: Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I'm just going to be
Speaker 7: gone literally for the game. So we're gonna we're gonna
Speaker 7: do our own little Christmas here. He's he loves the Grinch.
Speaker 7: He is all in on the Grench. So he tried
Speaker 7: to steal our Christmas tree the other day and I said,
Speaker 7: what are you doing? He goes, I'm taking it up
Speaker 7: the chimney. He said, no, No, that's not the hero part.
Speaker 3: Is he already as tall as Kyler Murray?
Speaker 7: Oh, Dan, that's not fair. That's not fair.
Speaker 3: Merry Christmas to you.
Speaker 2: Have fun and you've got a great thought process going
Speaker 2: into that game of what we the audience wants to hear.
Speaker 3: Stick to it.
Speaker 2: And the Iron Eagle is his giving as any announcer
Speaker 2: that you'll work with, and that's really important.
Speaker 3: He will make you better.
Speaker 7: Yes, that's my whole goal in life, Dan, is to
Speaker 7: let everybody around me make me look good because they're
Speaker 7: all better than I am. So I'm here for it
Speaker 7: just like you. I appreciate you. And I got to
Speaker 7: give a shout out to Fritzy. We've been trying to
Speaker 7: make this happen for a very long time. I think
Speaker 7: I might have more text messages in my phone from
Speaker 7: Fritzy than I do for my wife. But I appreciate it.
Speaker 7: I'm glad we could finally make.
Speaker 2: It work for no no hold on. Remember we kind
Speaker 2: of have an over under of how many text messages
Speaker 2: before you have to take.
Speaker 4: This little space between messages.
Speaker 7: But he knows I actually wanted to do it like
Speaker 7: that's I'm I'm with it. We just literally it's been
Speaker 7: it's been chaos over here.
Speaker 6: It was always very very genuine and kind with his responses.
Speaker 6: I not one time did I get a hint that
Speaker 6: it's like you're being a pain. And then you know what,
Speaker 6: And he found time to do it on the last
Speaker 6: show of the twenty twenty four years.
Speaker 4: So that's very awesome that he did that. Okay, I
Speaker 4: have a good broadcast, my friend.
Speaker 7: Have you ever gotten a mean one back Fritzy. Has
Speaker 7: anybody ever said like to stop or just the big
Speaker 7: capital stop like the infomercial.
Speaker 6: Derek Thomas came over to me back in the day
Speaker 6: at the ESPN Zone or in Disney World and he's like, Fritzy,
Speaker 6: I got your first message, I got your third message,
Speaker 6: and I got your eighth message.
Speaker 4: I knew where to be. You got to relax a
Speaker 4: little bit with the messages.
Speaker 2: Well, we had a problem with Bill Murray that Fritzy.
Speaker 2: Bill Murray reached out to me and said, hey, tell
Speaker 2: Fritzi to stop. And so I said to Fritzie, stopped,
Speaker 2: Bill Murray will come on the show. You must stop
Speaker 2: and then Fritzi goes, should I text him to tell
Speaker 2: him that I got it? I go no, Oh, don't
Speaker 2: text him to tell him that you got the message.
Speaker 2: To stop texting him, but he always gets his man.
Speaker 4: I mean, well, I don't need to be a pay
Speaker 4: of the next.
Speaker 7: But you want No, You're the best. You're the best.

Speaker 15: Dumbbody? Hey, good morning, Dan, Dennett's Marvin my brother. I
Speaker 15: hope you're doing well. I hope everybody's on shows doing
Speaker 15: great too. Hey, Fritsy, I got a headline for your
Speaker 15: Fritsy Tribune and that would be Chargers nix the Broncos. Okay,
Speaker 15: you know, and you know, I'm glad that everyone was
Speaker 15: able to be part of that historic viewership to that
Speaker 15: fifty seven yard sparecat free kick. And my god, I
Speaker 15: lost my mind too because I was questioning what was
Speaker 15: going on.
Speaker 1: But then I.
Speaker 15: Realized that there's a big rule with this, and to
Speaker 15: Harvard's favor, he was able to pull it out and
Speaker 15: it was something great. And you know, for that to
Speaker 15: not only be coincidential that the Chargers are the only
Speaker 15: team in the last forty eight years that have also
Speaker 15: committed another fair catch free kick, and just you know,
Speaker 15: and it was almost like history repeating itself so far along.
Speaker 15: And one more thing, Dan, my James and Virginia moment
Speaker 15: with you. It lives within infamy within the household. You
Speaker 15: know black Andy, now you know, even my Beyonce, she
Speaker 15: just messed around with me. Now she's called me it,
Speaker 15: I added jokingly. But you know, nonetheless, I you know,
Speaker 15: I hope to see you guys maybe on a zoom
Speaker 15: call one day and maybe you know, and just y'all,
Speaker 15: y'all are great and enjoy your time off.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you Andy, Andy and Rhode Island. Marvin's got
Speaker 3: a big smile on his face with and amazing Blandy Blandy. Yes,
Speaker 3: here's Jim Harball on the free kick at the end
Speaker 3: of the first half.
Speaker 7: It's my favorite role in football.
Speaker 16: And just been trying to get one of those, like
Speaker 16: every game, you know, you've been trying to get one
Speaker 16: of these.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, the first one we've made. I tried.
Speaker 16: We tried one with the forty nine ers. I think
Speaker 16: it was like a seventy yarder or something seventy one. Thanks, yeah,
Speaker 16: mister Dawson, Uh, probably a little. I wanted it so
Speaker 16: bad that you know, I tried a seventy more yarder.
Speaker 7: But it is.
Speaker 2: It is my favorite rule, you know, it's it's amazing though.
Speaker 2: These are the little things and you know John Harball
Speaker 2: was his special teams coach. He was never a coordinator,
Speaker 2: and he's one of the brighter minds in the NFL
Speaker 2: when it comes to this. This is Belichickian like, this
Speaker 2: is something that Belichick would go. You know, I remember
Speaker 2: this is nineteen seventy six, Raying did this. But here's
Speaker 2: Jim and I'm watching. I'm going, I don't know this
Speaker 2: formation here, and then all of a sudden, it's like,
Speaker 2: uh oh, and that's a.
Speaker 3: Field goal and they needed those points there.
Speaker 2: So kudos to Harball with that call, with Cameron Dicker's
Speaker 2: fifty seven yard field goal and the first make of
Speaker 2: a fair catch kick attempt since the Chargers and Ray
Speaker 2: Wershing back in nineteen seventy six.
Speaker 12: Stand of a.
Speaker 14: Day, Stana Day, stant outa Day, stan outa Day.
Speaker 2: This is the stant of Day, brought to you by
Speaker 2: Panini America, the official trading cards of the program. JJ
Speaker 2: Watt was talking about Rock Purty gifting his offensive line
Speaker 2: pickup trucks. A rock party doesn't even make a million dollars.
Speaker 2: These pickup trucks probably are over sixty thousand dollars, I
Speaker 2: would think. So he gave ten linemen pickup trucks. Now,
Speaker 2: this is a guy who's probably gonna make fifty five
Speaker 2: million dollars, but still he's on a I think is
Speaker 2: he still living at home with his parents? Wasn't that
Speaker 2: a storyline there? So how much did he spend on
Speaker 2: these pickup trucks?
Speaker 5: Bawling, We're estimating seven hundred and fifty grand and he
Speaker 5: makes nine hundred and eighty five grand this year, Okay.
Speaker 3: He said.
Speaker 5: In the video, he walks in the offensive lineman room,
Speaker 5: he goes, hey, you guys got a minute, And these
Speaker 5: guys were genuinely surprised. They did the bow like the commercial. Yeah,
Speaker 5: they did the bow and everything.
Speaker 3: But do they have to pay taxes on this?
Speaker 5: Probably if you're gifted a truck from someone, yes, you
Speaker 5: would have to pay the taxes seventy grand pribly six percent.
Speaker 2: But didn't this happen on Oprah where you get a
Speaker 2: car and you get a car, and you get a car,
Speaker 2: and people didn't realize that you got to pay taxes.
Speaker 3: You got to pay taxes, You got to pay taxes. Yeah.
Speaker 10: See see this is brock Pardy playing chess right here.
Speaker 10: All the kirk cousins talk, do you pay brock Pardy
Speaker 10: do you whatever? He just got ten fellas to be like,
Speaker 10: that's my quarterback, that's my guy.
Speaker 3: I need him on this team.
Speaker 2: M yep, Okay, that's it. Okay, that's how you do it.
Speaker 2: Brou So, you think that there was a message behind
Speaker 2: this gesture. I think there was some more thought than
Speaker 2: just being kind.
Speaker 3: Bob in Montana, Hi, Bob, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 9: Hey, good morning, DP from hopefully one of the twenty
Speaker 9: twenty four mv C finalists.
Speaker 5: I hope.
Speaker 9: Hey. I mailed you guys at Christmas card. I tried
Speaker 9: to get through before sending it because I didn't want
Speaker 9: to get a cease and desist letter from you for
Speaker 9: using your name, image and likeness from our big epic
Speaker 9: trip together down to Vegas for Super Bowl Week. But
Speaker 9: I put it together and I mail it to you anyway,
Speaker 9: So hopefully you guys got that, and then excuse me. Lastly,
Speaker 9: there's an opening in Montana for a local morning drive
Speaker 9: time rock and roll DJ, and so I was going
Speaker 9: to see if he had any pointers for that. I'm
Speaker 9: thinking about officially applying here after the holidays are over
Speaker 9: and out that I'm single and I'm free to do
Speaker 9: whatever job I want to and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: So well, maybe maybe I reach out and maybe I
Speaker 2: apply for the job. When this job is over, I
Speaker 2: could do moornings in Montana and I get to play
Speaker 2: great music. Bozeman's hot of him. Here's Zeppelin two for
Speaker 2: Tuesday at the Bows coming up. Rhys Davis ESPN College
