Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Final hour on a Monday, Best and Worst of the weekend.
Speaker 2: More of your phone calls. Paulie's not here today, Dylan
Speaker 2: from the back room came out sitting in his seat.
Speaker 2: Fritzy's here, So Seaton, Marvin yours truly more of your
Speaker 2: phone calls each seven to seven to three DP show.
Speaker 3: Good morning.
Speaker 2: If you're watching on Peacock, thank you our streaming partner
Speaker 2: and our radio affiliates around the country. A couple of
Speaker 2: headlines here. Matthew Stafford is seeing a back specialist again,
Speaker 2: hasn't practiced yet, Micah Parsons making the trade request, and
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones says, don't lose sleep over pull question, Seaton,
Speaker 2: what are we going to go with in hour three?
Speaker 2: And then we'll talk to Brent Musburger, the Hall of
Speaker 2: Famer We got.
Speaker 3: Up there right now?
Speaker 4: Are the Dallas Cowboys a good team to play for?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 6: Or no?
Speaker 3: Are your handsome right now?
Speaker 7: Eighty six percent say you want against Yes, that would
Speaker 7: be new. Oh they're only get They're getting fourteen percent
Speaker 7: of the vote right now saying that yes, it is
Speaker 7: a good place to play. Well, what other that's a
Speaker 7: big number. Yes, that's a big I thought it would
Speaker 7: be way closer than that. Yeah, especially like I don't know,
Speaker 7: given our audience, I thought there would be a little
Speaker 7: more respect for the team that way. But do you
Speaker 7: think that that's just recency bias or do you think
Speaker 7: that's how far the Cowboys have fallen in terms of reputation.
Speaker 2: Well, the number of people who hate the Cowboys probably
Speaker 2: voted as well, and they're not a very good team.
Speaker 2: I guess if you factor all that in, I still
Speaker 2: think that address means something. And I look at it differently.
Speaker 2: You're just you're more famous. I mean, Michael Parsons has
Speaker 2: a podcast because he's on the Cowboys. No, it's like
Speaker 2: Draymond Green. Nobody would care if he played in Atlanta,
Speaker 2: but he's with Golden State and he has a pod.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 2: It just feels like there's certain addresses that mean a
Speaker 2: little bit more, Yes, Dylan.
Speaker 9: Well, also, I mean, based on our caller earlier too,
Speaker 9: a lot of those votes against playing there might be
Speaker 9: from Cowboys fans themselves too. They don't exactly seem like
Speaker 9: thrilled on that jointuphenomen.
Speaker 2: Over under is eight and a half wins for the
Speaker 2: Cowboys this year, Let's bring in the freshly minted Hall
Speaker 2: of Famer winner of Pro Football Hall of Fame Pete
Speaker 2: Rosel Radio TV Award. He's Brent Musburger. Do you feel
Speaker 2: any different after this weekend?
Speaker 6: You know, it was such an honor, Dan, and I
Speaker 6: owe you so.
Speaker 10: Much appreciation because I wasn't even thinking about it until
Speaker 10: you and Jim Nantz brought it up and then Dick
Speaker 10: for Meal kind of carried the ball from there, and
Speaker 10: so I owe so much to everybody. It was a
Speaker 10: wonderful weekend.
Speaker 6: Dan.
Speaker 10: I have to say that I was shocked when Jane
Speaker 10: Kennedy was brought in to introduce me, okay at the
Speaker 10: banquet that night, completely unexpected.
Speaker 6: And of course De along with Phyllis George worked on.
Speaker 10: The NFL today at IRV Cross and Jimmy the Great
Speaker 10: James got a.
Speaker 6: Book out called Playing Jane, and she's a great story.
Speaker 10: I recommend that for it. But then I want to
Speaker 10: compliment the city of Canton, Ohio. You know, this is
Speaker 10: their biggest weekend. People were so nice in the committee
Speaker 10: and oh, by the way, I had at least two
Speaker 10: people mentioned Dan Patrick needs to bring his show into
Speaker 10: Canton for the Hall of Fame. Okay, they came right
Speaker 10: to me and I said, listen, I'll mention this Dan,
Speaker 10: because there we had over a hundred Hall of Famers
Speaker 10: show up. So yes, I so appreciate the honor, and
Speaker 10: so does the family. But I was a kid in
Speaker 10: a candy store when they started introducing all these guys
Speaker 10: that I had covered. Dan Fouts did a fantastic job.
Speaker 10: They bring him out to a stage and then they said,
Speaker 10: a couple of rows on either side, and they bring
Speaker 10: out the new Hall of Famers. And you know, the
Speaker 10: four guys who were inducted this year had such great
Speaker 10: stories when they came out.
Speaker 6: I'll start with Sterling Sharp.
Speaker 10: He was the only one of the four, by the way,
Speaker 10: who was a first round draft choice, so okay by
Speaker 10: the Green Bay Packers. And then it was so heartwarming
Speaker 10: when he and Shannon hugged each other up on the stage.
Speaker 10: Shannon presented him with the gold jacket, first first brothers
Speaker 10: to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and I
Speaker 10: couldn't resist.
Speaker 6: I got over to Sterling.
Speaker 10: I whispered in his ear, Eli Manning will never forgive you, you.
Speaker 3: Know, maybet Eli to the punch there going into the
Speaker 3: all bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I don't know why it took
Speaker 2: so long, And maybe you're not the right person to
Speaker 2: ask this, but you're in.
Speaker 3: You're a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 2: And then I'm very happy, you know, in a lot
Speaker 2: this just like with John Facenda, he was the voice
Speaker 2: of the NFL, and I just said, don't forget about
Speaker 2: who helped us get here to a multi multi billion
Speaker 2: dollar organization company. And I'm glad you got to experience that.
Speaker 2: You know, I wish that IRV Cross had been around. Uh,
Speaker 2: you know Jimmy de Gree, you know, people that you
Speaker 2: were with when you did the first pregame show, any
Speaker 2: idea if that was how successful that was going to
Speaker 2: be when you started.
Speaker 10: Well, I liked the idea that we were going live.
Speaker 10: Remember now, the pregame show on CBS prior to the
Speaker 10: NFL Today had been called Countdown to Kickoff, Pat summer
Speaker 10: All and Jack Whittaker. They taped it on Friday night,
Speaker 10: Friday Night, okay, and it was Bob Wessler's idea.
Speaker 6: Let's do this live.
Speaker 10: And then the halftimes of the and the postgame there
Speaker 10: was I felt sort of an immediate impact especially when
Speaker 10: Mike Wallace strolled in about week number four and you
Speaker 10: are doing great? Yeah, because I always said, have hing
Speaker 10: up next is sixty minutes. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: What is your favorite moment though or story that if
Speaker 2: you know all the years, well, you know, let me.
Speaker 10: Go to the night that Jimmy the Greek and I
Speaker 10: had a little fist cups in a New York saloon.
Speaker 6: Okay, let me tell everybody.
Speaker 10: Jimmy objected to the fact that he thought I cut
Speaker 10: him short. Everybody's got to remember we only had about
Speaker 10: twenty eight minutes of airtime, so I had to.
Speaker 6: Dish it out to everybody. Okay.
Speaker 10: So I was living in Los Angeles at the time
Speaker 10: I saw. I was working with Connie Chum in the
Speaker 10: news in LA and then I'd flyed for the NFL today.
Speaker 10: So I got a call the morning after I returned
Speaker 10: to LA. We got fire of the Greek.
Speaker 6: We're going to get rid of him. I said, hey,
Speaker 6: hold on, let me get back to you a little bit.
Speaker 6: And I I talked to my wife, Arlene.
Speaker 10: I said, you know, Orlean, I don't want the Greeks
Speaker 10: blood on my hands because we had an incident.
Speaker 6: I mean, we're very I like brothers.
Speaker 10: So I thought about call him back, and I said, please,
Speaker 10: don't fire the Greek.
Speaker 6: We'll find a way. Okay.
Speaker 10: So we knew Bob Aram the boxing guy, really well,
Speaker 10: and he got us a bell and a couple pair
Speaker 10: of boxing gloves, and we opened up the.
Speaker 6: Next week and made the light of it and life.
Speaker 10: Went on from there. You know, it's it's the people, Dan.
Speaker 10: I just loved working with the people that we had.
Speaker 10: Phyllis left us for a while because she thought she
Speaker 10: was going to become an Oscar winning movie star, and
Speaker 10: Jane Kennedy was brought in after that, and it was
Speaker 10: such a delight.
Speaker 6: Jane was loved by the.
Speaker 10: Players when she would grow up with the interviews and
Speaker 10: then and then Phyllis came back.
Speaker 6: A little bit later.
Speaker 10: Things didn't quite work out in Hollywood, But it was
Speaker 10: the people that I dealt with.
Speaker 6: That I loved.
Speaker 2: Who got the better of the fight? Well, the Greek
Speaker 2: hit me in the side. You know, it wasn't a
Speaker 2: very tough blow. My brother might have got the best
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 10: But the smartest guy in the bar was the bartender,
Speaker 10: and he turned the lights off.
Speaker 6: Okay, and so nobody could see anybody. Okay, so kind of.
Speaker 10: Calmed down, okay now, But what happened was I was
Speaker 10: at the table when the Greek came in, but sitting
Speaker 10: at the bar was a guy who worked on the
Speaker 10: city desk of the New York Post.
Speaker 6: He ran back and of course by a bang.
Speaker 10: You know, there's the picture of the Greek and fills,
Speaker 10: you know, off, off we go. If he hadn't been
Speaker 10: in there having a coal one okay, between shifts, I
Speaker 10: don't think anybody would have known about it, to tell
Speaker 10: you the truth, but yeah, it was.
Speaker 6: It was on in an instant, over in an instant.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm happy for you. I'm proud of you. You
Speaker 2: helped put it in my head that I could do
Speaker 2: this or they had jobs like this when I was
Speaker 2: growing up. But happy in any role that we possibly played.
Speaker 2: But that was more of just to remind people the
Speaker 2: greatness of Brent Musburger. So thank you. I hope it
Speaker 2: was everything that you hope for this weekend.
Speaker 6: It was, and Dann, thanks to you. Thank you so much.
Speaker 2: That's the Hall of Famer Brent Musburger, twenty twenty five
Speaker 2: Pro Football Hall of Fame INDUCTEAM and I was thinking
Speaker 2: about this weekend and once again Rent did all the work.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you have to remind people of those who came
Speaker 2: before us. Kurt Flood is not in the Baseball Hall
Speaker 2: of Fame. Kurt Flood is the reason why you have
Speaker 2: the salaries that we have. He challenged Major League Baseball.
Speaker 2: It cost him, but he was willing to sit out
Speaker 2: because he didn't think that he should be treated like
Speaker 2: a piece of property. And Kurt Flood was one of
Speaker 2: the great defensive outfielders played for a World Series champion.
Speaker 3: He was a very good player.
Speaker 2: But I started to think about the contributions to the game,
Speaker 2: and I love that aspect with Hall of Fames, just
Speaker 2: like John Fasenda and Brent Musburger and so many different
Speaker 2: people in certain halls of Fame that they contributed to
Speaker 2: the growth of the game. Kurt Flood is one of
Speaker 2: the most Oh boy, I don't even know if there's
Speaker 2: word or words courageous to take on Major League Baseball
Speaker 2: and say no, you don't own my rights after I'm
Speaker 2: done with your team or done playing. It just felt
Speaker 2: like he said, I'm not a piece of meat here.
Speaker 2: But when you think about the importance, why isn't he
Speaker 2: in the Baseball Hall of Fame as a contributor. Like
Speaker 2: Buck O'Neil played in the negro leagues. And Buck lived
Speaker 2: long enough to be able to tell everybody about these
Speaker 2: great players who played in the negro leagues so they
Speaker 2: could get into the Hall of Fame. And I said
Speaker 2: to somebody with the Baseball Hall of Fame, I said,
Speaker 2: Buck O'Neil is a Hall of Famer. He was a
Speaker 2: very good player. But contributions to the game. Buck O'Neil
Speaker 2: was the one who was there with eulogies, your career eulogy.
Speaker 2: He was telling everybody about these players so they could
Speaker 2: get into the Hall of Fame. Those who didn't get
Speaker 2: to see those in the negro leagues. I said, that's
Speaker 2: contributions to the game. Kurt Flood deserves to be in
Speaker 2: the Baseball Hall of Fame. It's in the Cardinals Hall
Speaker 2: of Fame, I believe. But Kurt Flood, he wasn't afraid.
Speaker 2: He took on the system. Yeah, Marvin, So was.
Speaker 8: Kurt Flood on the same level as Sonny Vicaro?
Speaker 2: To you, uh, no different. Sonny vccaro should be in
Speaker 2: the basketball Hall of Fame. But Kurt Flood, what he
Speaker 2: did that was for all of the players to be
Speaker 2: treated differently. Sonny just found a loophole and said, hey,
Speaker 2: I can sell shoes and make money for the coaches,
Speaker 2: make money, you know, for the players. You know, that
Speaker 2: was business. But he contributed to the game and signing
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan and signing Kobe Bryant and almost signed Lebron Jay.
Speaker 2: You know, he was involved in the movers and shakers,
Speaker 2: but different. But contributions to the Kurt Flood truly contributed
Speaker 2: to the game. I mean, you would not show, Hey,
Speaker 2: Otani may not have any idea who Kurt Flood is,
Speaker 2: but he should and I would hope maybe Baseball can
Speaker 2: rectify that and put him into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2: And I've gotten on this kick as I get older,
Speaker 2: and really my time of doing this job is diminishing.
Speaker 2: But Barry Melrose in the Hockey Hall of Fame, Don
Speaker 2: Cherry in the in the Hockey Hall of Fame, Sonny
Speaker 2: Vaccaro in the Basketball Hall of Fame, mel Kiper in
Speaker 2: the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Kurt Flood in the
Speaker 2: Baseball Hall of Fame. To me, these are no brainers.
Speaker 2: And I don't envy those who vote on the Hall
Speaker 2: of Fame. I just want to remind you and any
Speaker 2: of you voters that ever want to talk about why
Speaker 2: I think this way, or if I can add any
Speaker 2: kind of backdrop, I'll be more than happy to do it.
Speaker 2: And I don't have any other interest in it than
Speaker 2: telling the correct story and doing the right things for
Speaker 2: these people. But Kurt Flood should be in the Baseball
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame as a contributor. Maybe you don't put
Speaker 2: him in there as a player. I understand that, but
Speaker 2: contributions to the game. And if you're not familiar with
Speaker 2: Kurt Flood, please google him and understand what he did
Speaker 2: and at the end of his career, sacrificed his career
Speaker 2: so players could become free agents. And I remember Andy Messersmith,
Speaker 2: he was the first free agent in baseball history. Now
Speaker 2: we take it for granted. Now it's normal, but it
Speaker 2: wasn't then major League Baseball. He was Booie Kune was
Speaker 2: the commissioner. It was Booie Kune the Kurt Flood, and
Speaker 2: Kurt Flood eventually won. All right, we'll take a break.
Speaker 2: We'll get phone calls coming out. Uh Sterling Sharp Pro
Speaker 2: Football Hall of Famer. He will join us coming up
Speaker 2: next Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 11: Hey, we're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day
Speaker 11: five to.
Speaker 3: Seven pm Eastern.
Speaker 9: But here's the thing.
Speaker 11: We never have enough time to get to everything we
Speaker 11: want to get to.
Speaker 12: And that's why we have a brand new podcast called
Speaker 12: over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in
Speaker 12: our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
Speaker 12: because this guy is over promising things we never have
Speaker 12: time for.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you blubber lit jam and me.
Speaker 11: Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should
Speaker 11: be good at it because you've been over promising women
Speaker 11: for years.
Speaker 12: Well, it's a Covino and Rich after show, and we
Speaker 12: want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
Speaker 12: be talking sports, of course, but we're also going to
Speaker 12: talk life and relationships. And if Rich and I are
Speaker 12: arguing about something or we didn't have enough time, it
Speaker 12: will continue on our after show called over Promised.
Speaker 11: Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
Speaker 11: sure you check out Over Promised. And also uncensored, by
Speaker 11: the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a
Speaker 11: little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast
Speaker 11: of all time.
Speaker 12: There you go over Promising, and remember you could see
Speaker 12: on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen Over Promised with
Speaker 12: Covino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
Speaker 12: wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3: There was a moment over the weekend.
Speaker 2: It's called the Gold Jacket Dinner, and Brent Musberger spoke there.
Speaker 2: Mary kay Cabot, the Cleveland Browns beat reporter, she was
Speaker 2: honored there as well. And Mary Kay Cabot, who has
Speaker 2: been around long enough to have covered the Cleveland Browns
Speaker 2: when Bill Belichick was there, took a shot at Bill
Speaker 2: Belichick over the weekend.
Speaker 13: Bill Belichick was the first Browns coach I ever covered.
Speaker 13: You see, if you start out with Bill Belichick, no
Speaker 13: one can rattle you after that. If Bill didn't like
Speaker 13: something I wrote, he'd call and yell at me. If
Speaker 13: you asked a dumb question, he'd call you out. Eventually,
Speaker 13: I had to learn to stand up to him. During
Speaker 13: one of those yelling matches, I told him, if you
Speaker 13: don't have the footballs to say that to the guys,
Speaker 13: then don't say it to me, bam. But now I
Speaker 13: totally understand why Bill gave me such a hard time.
Speaker 13: I was twenty eight at the time, and he just
Speaker 13: couldn't relate to a woman that old.
Speaker 2: Okay, Bill Belichick's girlfriend said that, But basically it wasn't funny.
Speaker 3: It was funny. I think that's very funny.
Speaker 2: I don't think she's kind of disappeared here a little bit.
Speaker 2: She kind of maybe back in the shadows there.
Speaker 4: Can't we just stopped tearing each other down and support
Speaker 4: each other.
Speaker 2: I think it's a good thing that she's maybe just
Speaker 2: slightly removed from the spotlight.
Speaker 3: Yes, Dylan, do you.
Speaker 9: Think there's a conversation like, honey, we need to talk
Speaker 9: about you being in the media all the time.
Speaker 6: I don't have no idea.
Speaker 2: I have a hard time relating to my twenty seven
Speaker 2: year old daughter. So like, if you said I was
Speaker 2: dating somebody the age of my daughter, that'd be creepy.
Speaker 9: Yeah. Yeah, I think that that's therein lies of the issue.
Speaker 2: Well, it's kind of hard. It's kind of hard to
Speaker 2: relate to a twenty seven year old daughter.
Speaker 14: Yes, Ton, And does he tell her directly to step
Speaker 14: back a little. Does he put it in a little
Speaker 14: suggestion box? You leave a little note under the pillow?
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know how it works there, And good luck
Speaker 2: to them. I love love, and if their love, whatever
Speaker 2: it is, you love all of I just love love.
Speaker 8: What is love?
Speaker 2: What's love got to do with it? It's just secondhand emotion.
Speaker 2: Tatum in Texas, Good morning, Tatum, Good.
Speaker 15: Morning, four six seventy one pounds. Tydan, second time caller.
Speaker 15: I have a best and worst of the weekend, and
Speaker 15: the question best of the weekend my baseball team started
Speaker 15: to practice again for our fall season. Worst of the weekend?
Speaker 16: My favorite team, the Astros, didn't have a good weekend
Speaker 16: against the Red Sox. Speaking of that, what are you
Speaker 16: and the danet favorite sports teams?
Speaker 2: M all right, well, Tatum, thank you for calling. Fritzy
Speaker 2: loves the Astros, although they're not your modern day Astros,
Speaker 2: they are back in the eighties. He also likes the
Speaker 2: Denver Broncos. Seaton likes the Patriots. Marvin is a San
Speaker 2: Francisco forty nine Ers fan.
Speaker 9: Dylan Baltimore Ravens Dan.
Speaker 3: Oh that's right, yeah, that is right?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Where this hat? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Ravens fan.
Speaker 2: Get that Paulie loves the anybody in Chicago, Paulie loves Cubs, Bears.
Speaker 2: Maybe the White sucks too, But I don't have a
Speaker 2: favorite teo. I gave that up a long time ago,
Speaker 2: probably around nineteen ninety after the Reds won the World Series.
Speaker 2: Then I was like, I'm done. I cannot root while
Speaker 2: I'm on Sports Center. That to me, is not the
Speaker 2: approach you should have. We should be unbiased when we're
Speaker 2: on Sports Center, and not to get preachy. Because I
Speaker 2: worked with a lot of people who love to tell
Speaker 2: you who their favorite T teams were. I just never
Speaker 2: wanted to say, hey, I'm a Cincinnati fan, let me
Speaker 2: say something about Pittsburgh, and then you're gonna go.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's a Bengals fan. I just didn't want that. Yes, Marvin, you.
Speaker 8: Know a DP as the young kids saying, I'm gonna
Speaker 8: call Cap because Cap big Cap. You talk about the
Speaker 8: Sacramento Kings a whole lot, and what team did they
Speaker 8: used to be?
Speaker 3: Cincinnati Royals?
Speaker 2: Bloopoo oh god, wow, that is that's going a long
Speaker 2: way to connect dots. I just I watched the Sacramento
Speaker 2: Kings because nobody else does that's what I want?
Speaker 8: No watch the Royals either.
Speaker 2: No, they did not, but I got to go and watch.
Speaker 2: I got to go watch them in person. Yes, yes, Dylan, just.
Speaker 9: Admit you're a Cincinnati homer. Dan, I've known all these years.
Speaker 3: I'm not.
Speaker 9: What do you what's your take? You mentioned it briefly
Speaker 9: with Paul. Your take on can you be a fan
Speaker 9: of two teams in the same city, same sports? Like
Speaker 9: can you be a White Sox and Cubs fan or
Speaker 9: like a Yankee and Mets fan?
Speaker 6: No? Yeah, I don't think so.
Speaker 2: You shouldn't be. I guess you can be, but you
Speaker 2: shouldn't be. Bob and Boise, Hi, Bob, what's on your
Speaker 2: mind today?
Speaker 16: Hey?
Speaker 17: DP, Hey, and let me just say I enjoyed the
Speaker 17: mellow music during the break instead of commercials. Got two
Speaker 17: best of the weekend. First, my Milwaukee Brewers scoring thirty
Speaker 17: eight runs this past weekend, only six spewer than the
Speaker 17: all time record of forty four by the Pittsburgh Pirates
Speaker 17: in nineteen thirty And second, probably one no one has
Speaker 17: on the radar, but Cooper luken House finished second and
Speaker 17: the men's eight hundred meters final yesterday to qualify for
Speaker 17: the World Championships in Tokyo next month.
Speaker 3: He's in high school right, which is.
Speaker 17: Nice because he's sixteen years old.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I watched.
Speaker 2: I watched some of those races, and I did watch
Speaker 2: was it the two hundred meters?
Speaker 3: No Alliles?
Speaker 2: And I thought, oh man, he's gonna get beat And
Speaker 2: I don't is it bed Nerrick? Is that the name
Speaker 2: of the sprinter who had the headband on? He thought
Speaker 2: he's winning that race and Noah Lliles. At the last
Speaker 2: second you can just see him and he is going
Speaker 2: to get him and he ran him down. Uh, that
Speaker 2: was pretty impressive. Uh, Kenny in La, Hi, Kenny, what's
Speaker 2: on your mind today?
Speaker 18: Kenny, benn Erick, There you go, track and Field's underrated sport.
Speaker 18: So Martin kind of stole my thunder on the best
Speaker 18: and Worst of who He came in your last college too,
Speaker 18: the Brewers there. But going to the w NBA, which
Speaker 18: we don't talk about too much on your show. On
Speaker 18: the worst was Nape said, call your who was leading
Speaker 18: Candiates the MVP, being hauled in the game with a
Speaker 18: fifty point lead and leaving with the spring ankle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know, I never understand that when
Speaker 2: you're watching like you know, uh, the Yukon women they
Speaker 2: could be up by forty and some of their starters
Speaker 2: are still in And I just said, you know, you
Speaker 2: run the risk, like what are you doing? And Collier
Speaker 2: is really a wonderful player and should be the MVP.
Speaker 2: Thank you Kenny for the phone call. Brian in San Antonio. Hi, Brian,
Speaker 2: he hey, good morning Dan.
Speaker 19: Five foot six down to one eighty five. I also
Speaker 19: have a best and best. My weekend started on Thursday, Dan,
Speaker 19: and the best was this Thursday night football. It was
Speaker 19: like an old friend coming home. Man, it was awesome.
Speaker 19: Don't care who was playing, just wanted to watch it.
Speaker 19: My other best of the weekend is a Denver Broncos
Speaker 19: locking up Zach Allen with a great contract for a
Speaker 19: guy who's been an absolute beast on the defensive line.
Speaker 19: The Broncos are like the anti cowboy Dan. They've done
Speaker 19: a fantastic job of locking up their young guys in
Speaker 19: in Certan.
Speaker 20: And Sutton, well the Sutton's evets, you know, locking up
Speaker 20: Zach Allen, he's been going back to Bowls and some
Speaker 20: of those other guys, they're just doing a fantastic job.
Speaker 5: You have a pie of the face bet for the Boys.
Speaker 3: Okay, that was interesting, all right, Okay, let's hear the bet.
Speaker 6: So.
Speaker 19: I think one of the sneaky good pickups during the
Speaker 19: off season was the Miami Dolphins picking up Zach Wilson.
Speaker 19: Broncos wanted to keep him, but he's going to be
Speaker 19: too expensive. You know, three terrible years of the Jets.
Speaker 19: He has a year of football rehab. I don't think
Speaker 19: there's any way in the world that actually makes all
Speaker 19: seventeen games. My pie of the face bet is that
Speaker 19: Zach Wilson will start and win at least three games
Speaker 19: for the Dolphins this season.
Speaker 2: Okay, does anybody want a piece of Brian and San Antonio?
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson starts and wins at least three games this year.
Speaker 2: Dylan's in for it. Anybody else want a piece of that?
Speaker 2: So Brian is taking the over again. He's taken three
Speaker 2: week plus three starts. At least three starts, three wins
Speaker 2: for Zach Wilson in Miami.
Speaker 3: I'll take that, all right.
Speaker 2: You got two takers there, Brian, so two pies if
Speaker 2: you lose, and then Dylan and seating on my end,
Speaker 2: Eric in Michigan, Good morning, Eric, what's on your mind today, Nannie.
Speaker 21: Thanks for the call. Six fifteen point eight. I got
Speaker 21: a best of the worst and a question for you.
Speaker 21: The best of the weekend was I finally have to
Speaker 21: go out golfing for the first time this summer. The
Speaker 21: worst was I had to rip up my scorecard after
Speaker 21: the third hole after losing five balls. Question for you
Speaker 21: shadow Chill Sinkle hall of Famer or hall of very
Speaker 21: very good. And if you guys decide to do your
Speaker 21: deck competition at the Notre Dame uscat game, I've got
Speaker 21: access to a high school gym and a track. If
Speaker 21: you guys wanted to do a combine or however you
Speaker 21: wanted to do it, it'd be good times.
Speaker 2: Out all right, thank you Eric for the offer. I'm
Speaker 2: still trying to see who wants to run this race.
Speaker 2: The winner gets five hundred dollars. Who is the fastest
Speaker 2: person in the building. And it started with one brg
Speaker 2: Rob who said he could beat Zion Williamson in a race,
Speaker 2: And then we went wow, okay, and then Marvin goes,
Speaker 2: there is no way he could beat Zion Williamson in
Speaker 2: a race. Then all of a sudden it became a
Speaker 2: five k and then all of a sudden, I thought
Speaker 2: it was one hundred meter dash. But I want to
Speaker 2: find out who's the fastest person in the building. Yes,
Speaker 2: maybe we do it in Vegas at the end of
Speaker 2: this jackfest.
Speaker 6: What we're calling it again?
Speaker 7: The Jack off? Oh the jack Coffee. That's right at
Speaker 7: the we do it in Vegas there. Yeah, who's Jack
Speaker 7: the most?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have all this time to train? Yeah. Newton
Speaker 3: in Richmond, Hey, Newton.
Speaker 22: Hey, Dan, thanks for taking a call. So I'm sixty
Speaker 22: and I've been a Dallas fan since nineteen seventy one
Speaker 22: and I've seen every iteration since then. And I think
Speaker 22: that based on the fact that Jerry's proven more than
Speaker 22: once that he's not what he thinks he is, because
Speaker 22: he's been struggling to make a winning team since he
Speaker 22: fired Jimmy Johnson, and the only thing he's really succeeded
Speaker 22: at is making a ton of money. Now as a businessman,
Speaker 22: you can't argue that he kind of knows what he's doing,
Speaker 22: although when you see what Dak Prescott's getting paid as
Speaker 22: a result of being franchised paged two years in a row,
Speaker 22: it begs the question, does he really understand what's going
Speaker 22: on as a general manager.
Speaker 5: But I would have to.
Speaker 22: Say hands down that if you want to be on
Speaker 22: a winning team, Unfortunately, Dallas isn't the one to go
Speaker 22: to if you want to make money and notoriety because
Speaker 22: of all of the drama and all of the crap
Speaker 22: that goes on during the season and off season. Great,
Speaker 22: but if you want to be a winner, that's not
Speaker 22: the place to go. And it's sad for me because
Speaker 22: I'm loyal to them, and I'm pretty certain we're not
Speaker 22: going to make the playoffs this year because the defense
Speaker 22: is going to be just as bad or worse than
Speaker 22: last year.
Speaker 2: Thank you Newton. Yeah, I don't know if it's a destination.
Speaker 2: It feels like it still is because you can go
Speaker 2: there to be famous. Doesn't mean that you're going to
Speaker 2: be great, but you can be famous. Dak Prescott's not great,
Speaker 2: but he's famous. Ceedee Lamb can be great. Michael Parsons
Speaker 2: can be great. But you know your value is inflated
Speaker 2: because you play for the Cowboys.
Speaker 8: Yes, Marvin, Now, when was the last time a big
Speaker 8: time free agent went to the Cowboys A la Dion Sanders, Like,
Speaker 8: you know what, I want to be a Cowboy like
Speaker 8: being famous. They're probably already famous, but I just want
Speaker 8: to go to a really good team.
Speaker 3: Derrick Henry wanted to go to the Cowboys.
Speaker 8: But he lives in Dallas. Yeah, I can't believe.
Speaker 2: That was shocking, But that goes back to what I've said,
Speaker 2: If you act sooner, can you save some money? Could
Speaker 2: you have saved like two million dollars? And that would
Speaker 2: be the difference of Derrick Henry playing for the Cowboys
Speaker 2: one and a half million dollars two million dollars per year?
Speaker 2: Do you think the Cowboys would be better with Derrick
Speaker 2: Henry as they're starting running back? And that's a rhetorical
Speaker 2: question because the answer is obvious. That's what I don't understand.
Speaker 2: And you know, you sign up Jake Ferguson, who's a
Speaker 2: really good tight end, but there was no drama with
Speaker 2: that you signed him up. Nobody heard anything, no agent,
Speaker 2: no nothing, nobody's mad, no acroma, just like it taking
Speaker 2: care of you.
Speaker 3: Yes, Marvin, but.
Speaker 8: I feel like being a part of the Cowboys, you're
Speaker 8: really famous in the off season more so than the
Speaker 8: regular season, because even though on this show, maybe for us,
Speaker 8: maybe not other networks, but when the season stars we're
Speaker 8: going to talk Eagles, Lions cheat like the good teams.
Speaker 2: But if you said to it a TV executive, pick
Speaker 2: a team, you know who they're gonna pick. Cowboys over everybody,
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. Eagles are great, Chiefs are great, Ravens are great. Hey,
Speaker 2: what team do you want? Eagles? Cowboys to start the season?
Speaker 2: One month from tonight, the season starts and it's the
Speaker 2: Cowboys and the Eagles.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, Dylan.
Speaker 9: Do you think like over the last couple of years
Speaker 9: they might actually opt for the Chiefs though, like on
Speaker 9: top of winning and like all the Taylor Swift stuff
Speaker 9: and Elmes everything.
Speaker 2: Else, but then people kind of I don't know, there
Speaker 2: was blowback of having Taylor Swift on. I don't know
Speaker 2: if they're a national draw. I think they're a great organization,
Speaker 2: great team, But I don't know if all right, we're
Speaker 2: gonna watch because of Travis Kelce or Taylor Swift or
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know.
Speaker 2: It always felt like it was it was more of
Speaker 2: a negative than a positive. Oh, wall you stop shoeing
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift didn't say, Hey, I'm gonna come on,
Speaker 2: but I want seven different cameos here.
Speaker 9: But that's like, I mean, that's the Cowboys are just
Speaker 9: all bad press too so like.
Speaker 2: But they're still the Cowboys. You either root for them
Speaker 2: or you root against them. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Like the Chiefs aren't a villain, they're just really good.
Speaker 6: The Eagles.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't have anything against the Eagles, like
Speaker 2: their fans can be really brutal, but I mean it's
Speaker 2: a great organization.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Marvin, how many national teams do you think there
Speaker 8: are in the NFL? Because I think the Chiefs are
Speaker 8: probably on the same level as the Golden State Wars,
Speaker 8: where you take Patrick mahomes off, they're not a national team.
Speaker 8: Same thing with Steph Kirk. You take the Steph off
Speaker 8: the Warriors, they're not a national team. So how many
Speaker 8: national teams do you think there are in the NFL?
Speaker 2: I'd say the Packers, Steelers, Cowboys. I don't know who
Speaker 2: else would fall I mean the TV executives. You know,
Speaker 2: maybe there's up updated data on that that would say
Speaker 2: these are the top draws in the in the NFL.
Speaker 2: But I just remember when I was at NBC Football
Speaker 2: Night in America where you're like, how many how many
Speaker 2: Cowboy games? Do we have because you knew that that
Speaker 2: that was a big number. Yeah, dyl, So this is.
Speaker 9: The Chiefs were the most watched team of twenty twenty four,
Speaker 9: with twenty five point five million viewers, but the Cowboys
Speaker 9: and forty nine Ers were the only teams with losing
Speaker 9: records that made the list.
Speaker 2: Well, what's that mean the most watched that they had
Speaker 2: a game that was the most watched.
Speaker 9: That was twenty five point five million average per game.
Speaker 9: Okay in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, it doesn't feel like there's the we hate them,
Speaker 2: you know, you need to have that rivalry or you know,
Speaker 2: the Steelers did this to us, or the Packers and Cowboys.
Speaker 2: It's just for some reason, even though the product may
Speaker 2: not be great, it's still the Cowboys the way they
Speaker 2: present the game and Jerry Jones, you got the Star
Speaker 2: and you know there's a.
Speaker 3: It's a.
Speaker 2: It displays well maybe not the actual playing of football,
Speaker 2: but you do tune in to watch them lose as well.
Speaker 3: All right, last golf for phone calls? What we learn?
Speaker 2: What's in store tomorrow? I'm not sure how I lost
Speaker 2: Sterling sharp here. So I have all of these different
Speaker 2: I have all this correspondence with Sterling Sharp. He's good
Speaker 2: to go. I'm going to try to zoom. Okay, here's
Speaker 2: the zoo. Can't blame you, Todd. I was trying to
Speaker 2: take care of this.
Speaker 6: It's a tough business, a tough business.
Speaker 2: The booking it is it is. It's not easy, not
Speaker 2: easy at all. We'll take a break back after this.

Speaker 2: what's in store tomorrow? This day in sports history. Since
Speaker 2: Paulie's not here he normally does the honors, I will
Speaker 2: do it today. Jesse Owens nineteen thirty six, he won
Speaker 2: his second gold medal of the Berlin Olympics, setting an
Speaker 2: Olympic record in the long jump. Joel Youngblood in nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty two, he played for the Mets in a day game,
Speaker 2: traded to the Expos, and then made it to Philadelphia.
Speaker 2: Time to have a base hit from Montreal. So he
Speaker 2: had two base hits for two different teams on the
Speaker 2: same day.
Speaker 3: Let's see anything else.
Speaker 2: I think that's it was there anything else this day
Speaker 2: in sports history, Todd that you wanted to add.
Speaker 3: I think that should cover it. Okay, Yes, I have.
Speaker 9: One Dan, Yes, Dylan Byron Nelson in nineteen forty five
Speaker 9: when his eleventh consecutive PGA Tour when at the Canadian Open.
Speaker 9: That's pretty good.
Speaker 2: I got to visit him in Texas before he passed away,
Speaker 2: and I did. They were legends of the PGA Tour
Speaker 2: and I went down there to talk to Byron Nelson.
Speaker 3: And he had a club with him.
Speaker 2: He was holding the or a golf club with him,
Speaker 2: and we were leaning on this wooden fence at his ranch,
Speaker 2: and I just remember his hands were huge. Him and
Speaker 2: Arnold Palmer had these huge hands, and Byron Nelson could
Speaker 2: not have been a nicer person. But that's when I
Speaker 2: asked him if he would call up Ben Hogan, who
Speaker 2: didn't live too far from him, and see if Ben
Speaker 2: Hogan wanted to sit down to do an interview.
Speaker 3: And he was like, oh, no, no, I won't.
Speaker 6: I can't do that.
Speaker 9: You're using him to get to Ogy.
Speaker 2: Well at the very end he started talking about Ben
Speaker 2: Hogan and I thought, kind, I mean, why not take
Speaker 2: a shot. I'm not that far away from where Ben lives,
Speaker 2: and there had been Ben Hogan's sightings, and I thought
Speaker 2: that'd be pretty cool. You know, he was like JD.
Speaker 2: Salinger of the golf tour, and I thought, you know what, Hey,
Speaker 2: would you call Ben Hogan for me and see if
Speaker 2: he'd maybe sit down for an interview?
Speaker 3: Oh? Oh no, no, no, I can't do that, no shot. Yeah, yes, Todd.
Speaker 14: Forty years ago today, Rod Carew three thousandth hit or
Speaker 14: Frank Viola. And also forty years ago today, three hundredth
Speaker 14: win for Tom Seaver as a member of the Chicago
Speaker 14: White Sox.
Speaker 8: That's kind of fun.
Speaker 5: Yeah, three thousand, three hundred, forty years ago today.
Speaker 3: Thank you to you.
Speaker 14: Welcome Augus fourth, nineteen eighty five.
Speaker 2: Alrighty uh Baker in Illinois, Hi Bake? What's on your
Speaker 2: mind today?
Speaker 5: Hey Dan?
Speaker 23: How you doing?
Speaker 22: Uh?
Speaker 23: Six fifty? I'm with Marvin on your supposed lack of fandom,
Speaker 23: and so I'm thinking on the very last segment of
Speaker 23: your very last show. He hear in a few years
Speaker 23: you just come out in a Red's jersey in a
Speaker 23: Bengals cap and say, all right, I'm out of the closet.
Speaker 2: No, because I used to be fans of those teams.
Speaker 3: I'm just not anymore. I gotta be.
Speaker 2: When the Rams beat the Bengals in the Super Bowl,
Speaker 2: I thought it was a great story for the Rams.
Speaker 2: If the Bengals had won, it would have been a
Speaker 2: great story. I have to look at it right down
Speaker 2: the middle. I do hard to do, but I do it.
Speaker 2: I don't even think about loyalty like that anymore.
Speaker 9: Yes, do When you retire from doing the show, will
Speaker 9: you restart your fandom? Maybe take new teams?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: No, no, I can't see sports differently than I have
Speaker 2: for the last forty years that still look for the story.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: I couldn't care less. I mean, I don't care about
Speaker 2: a fan base or maybe a player that I know,
Speaker 2: But I'm not going to openly root. And look, there
Speaker 2: were Sports Center anchors, they're still they're current Sports Center anchors,
Speaker 2: and they want to tell you about their fandom.
Speaker 3: Our job is to be unbiased, that's all I mean.
Speaker 3: That was my approach.
Speaker 2: That's how I was taught when I was brought up,
Speaker 2: learning how to do this at CNN, be a reporter,
Speaker 2: be unbiased, and you know there are times when you're
Speaker 2: rooting for a story, but my fandom is not worn
Speaker 2: on my sleeve. David in Ohio, Hi David, what's on
Speaker 2: your mind?
Speaker 5: Hey?
Speaker 23: Dan?
Speaker 24: You guys are talking about the Cowboys earlier. I got
Speaker 24: a fun idea for you. Will Shay and Irving call
Speaker 24: into the Dan Patrick Show within twenty four hours of
Speaker 24: a Cowboys Wild Card loss? Odd were minus one thousand
Speaker 24: off the bonus if he says fraudulent within the first
Speaker 24: and Barry mcclown and Dax smid and this team is soft.
Speaker 2: Well, he'll also talk about the ginger. He's still blaming
Speaker 2: former coaches, and I'll go Jason Garrett is not part
Speaker 2: of the Danny. You know, it's like he stayed the organization.
Speaker 2: Jerry hired him. But yeah, Shay will definitely call it.
Speaker 18: Uh.
Speaker 3: Jalen in North Carolina High Jalen.
Speaker 5: And then six three to seventy couple bests and the worst.
Speaker 5: William Byron finally broke through in won yesterday at the
Speaker 5: Iowa Corn three point fifty after a tough stretch there
Speaker 5: over the past month or so. And then brock Lesner
Speaker 5: returning last night at SummerSlam was pretty sick. And then
Speaker 5: my worst is the new York Yang. He's the seasons over,
Speaker 5: so I just kind of wanted to get that out there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just and I'm not calling for somebody to
Speaker 2: be fired, but you know, Aaron Boone like running out
Speaker 2: of time. It feels like for a team that went
Speaker 2: to the World Series, like I don't know, just feels
Speaker 2: like there's a malaise over that team.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Marvin and the Yankees feel like they got to
Speaker 8: the World Series because the American League isn't all that strong.
Speaker 2: Ye know, but it's weird to say, Man, I don't know,
Speaker 2: but you got to the World Series. I think we
Speaker 2: saw the big separation with you know, the National League
Speaker 2: in the American League there, yes, do.
Speaker 9: I'll just say the Mets did better against the Dodgers
Speaker 9: last year than the Yankees did.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Tom, Thanks for sitting in for Paul. Paul
Speaker 2: expected back you of course playing.
Speaker 9: I don't know, thanks for having me playing hurt, playing
Speaker 9: hurt question?
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you playing soft? I think you.
Speaker 9: Actually I texted you, I said, no major damage. Looks
Speaker 9: like maybe just li him and strain you just go soft?
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, soft, with all the dramas, soft soft tears. Todd,
Speaker 3: would you learn today.
Speaker 14: If Luca really watches how Lebron prepares his body for
Speaker 14: a new season. He could become the best player in
Speaker 14: the game.
Speaker 6: Seaton.
Speaker 4: I learned Dylan has an injury.
Speaker 8: Marvin, you think Kurt Flood should be in the Baseball
Speaker 8: Hall of Fames?
Speaker 6: I do.
Speaker 3: As a contributor, Dylan.
Speaker 9: Jesse Owens won a second gold medal on this day.
Speaker 9: Suck at Hitler?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you say it now, Todd, what did I learn?
Speaker 14: You recommend the new Ed Sullivan documentary on Netflix Sunday,
Speaker 14: best the untold story of that Sullivan.
