Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Welcome to the program. It's our one. On
Speaker 1: this Wednesday, Dan and the Dane's Dan Patrick Show will
Speaker 1: check in with the Patriots. We'll check in with the
Speaker 1: most decorated Olympian of old time, Michael Phelps a little
Speaker 1: later on. And it all started when Rudy Gobert of
Speaker 1: the Utah Jazz tested positive back in March. The Utah
Speaker 1: Jazz Center will join us coming up a little bit
Speaker 1: later on as well. We'll also check in with the
Speaker 1: Miami Marlins, who are on hiatus until at least next Monday.
Speaker 1: No baseball for the Marlins, and they're the team everybody
Speaker 1: in Pro sports is worried about talking about. And maybe
Speaker 1: the league should be watching the New England Patriots as well,
Speaker 1: because several players have opted out for the season, and
Speaker 1: it makes sense. In some of these cases, you have
Speaker 1: some veterans. This was the oldest team in the NFL
Speaker 1: last year. Guys have already gotten paid, they won a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Dante Highttower, he's opted out. It probably looks
Speaker 1: around sees that Tom Brady's gone. His fellow linebackers from
Speaker 1: last year, Jamie Collins and Kyle van Neuer gone, his
Speaker 1: wife just had a baby, his mother has diabetes. One
Speaker 1: season isn't worth it, certainly not now to him. And
Speaker 1: every player has to consider the risk reward ratio here.
Speaker 1: Young players face a different set of decisions than the
Speaker 1: older ones. But if a team starts to lose games
Speaker 1: or players start dropping off, you'd think the incentive to
Speaker 1: play will be dropping significantly as well. Then even more
Speaker 1: players could leave and the competitive balance will be a concern.
Speaker 1: But then again, it's the Patriots. They could end up
Speaker 1: twelve and four, but right now they face a serious
Speaker 1: challenge keeping their run of success going. And you have
Speaker 1: six players so far who have opted out, the McCardy brothers,
Speaker 1: who are thirty two years of age. They might opt
Speaker 1: out as well. But we'll talk to Tom E. Curran,
Speaker 1: who covers the Patriots. And you started to get this
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory of Oh Belichick. He's out smarting everybody. Maybe
Speaker 1: they're tanking, systematically tanking so they can get Trevor Lawrence
Speaker 1: next year. But we'll talk to Tom Kern about that.
Speaker 1: We'll come up with a poll question. Correct mclovin, We
Speaker 1: got options whenever you're ready, Okay, hold on got a
Speaker 1: stat of the Day Play of the Day coming up
Speaker 1: as well. This program brought to you by wireless earbuds
Speaker 1: made by Raycon our AYCN. It's the way to go.

Speaker 1: You got a treat coming up a little bit later
Speaker 1: on this hour. Tyler the Moderator. He is Tyler the Rapper,
Speaker 1: and we'll have that music video for you on YouTube
Speaker 1: dot com. Slash to Dan Patrick. Show coming up a
Speaker 1: little bit later on this hour eight seven seven three
Speaker 1: d P Show Email address dpat dan Patrick dot Com,
Speaker 1: Twitter headed a DP show. Say good morning to our
Speaker 1: great radio affiliates around the country. Number three hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty two. All right, mcloven wood, he for me today. Okay,
Speaker 1: you mentioned the Patriots. If you're a Pats fan, would
Speaker 1: you rather be nine and seven or two and fourteen
Speaker 1: and fourteen? Two and fourteen. I'll take the hit two
Speaker 1: and fourteen. If I get Trevor Lawrence, I'm good, yes, boy,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tweak it then a little bit. If you're
Speaker 1: a hardcore Patriots fan. In this season, you could have
Speaker 1: one or two results. You can make the playoffs and
Speaker 1: Tampa can miss the playoffs. So your team can make
Speaker 1: the playoffs and Tampa misses the playoffs. Or you get
Speaker 1: the number one pick of the draft. Oh, number one
Speaker 1: pick in the draft. You know, a little vindication. You
Speaker 1: know what vindication is. I got my quarterback for the
Speaker 1: next decade. That's vindication because Tom will play two years
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, you got Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 1: I'll take the hit. My ego will be fine when
Speaker 1: people go, hey, you guys only won two games. I know,
Speaker 1: and the Patriots select Trevor Lawrence out of Clemson. Yes,
Speaker 1: and plus making the playoffs in New England. It's kind
Speaker 1: of a failure, in't it the big football story? Though?
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers he was speaking to Kyle Brandt on his podcast.
Speaker 1: Kyle works for the NFL Network. Aaron Rodgers, as you
Speaker 1: have probably come to expect, it's extremely honest, he is,
Speaker 1: and he realizes his days in Green Bay are numbered.
Speaker 1: And here's some of the comments that he had with
Speaker 1: Kyle Brant on his podcast about the GMS and what
Speaker 1: they wanted to do in the draft with these draft picks.
Speaker 1: Just look at the facts. You know, they traded up,
Speaker 1: they drafted them. I would say, they like them, they
Speaker 1: want to play them now. I think quarterbacks are playing earlier.
Speaker 1: It gives some latitude for young coaches and gms to
Speaker 1: play there, to play their guys. Also, he talked about
Speaker 1: the Packers drafting his successor, Jordan Love. Was I bummed
Speaker 1: out of course, who wouldn't be, you know, like, I
Speaker 1: wanted to play my entire career in Green Bay. I
Speaker 1: love the city. I grew up there Scots twenty one,
Speaker 1: I'm thirty six now, and a lot of changes during
Speaker 1: that time. But look, I get it. I see it
Speaker 1: completely clearly, and I'm not bit about it. It just
Speaker 1: kind of is what it is. And he reacted this
Speaker 1: way when he realized that the Packers weren't taking a
Speaker 1: wide receiver. So he's taking inventory watching the draft, and God,
Speaker 1: what I'd love to have seen a camera on Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers as he's watching. Imagine if he's he says, yeah,
Speaker 1: you can put a camera on me, because he thinks
Speaker 1: he's getting a wide receiver. And then they trade up
Speaker 1: and he goes, oh, we're getting Higgins out of climpse.
Speaker 1: Are we getting somebody out of LSU? We're getting seedeed
Speaker 1: Land and the Green Bay Packers select Jordan Love what
Speaker 1: And this is how Aaron Rodgers reacted. Yeah, I got
Speaker 1: a text on my agent. He just texted quarterback and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh wow, okay, so I love Scott's
Speaker 1: but I've been drinking some sipping tequila lady as well.
Speaker 1: And once I got that text, I went to the pantry.
Speaker 1: I poured myself, you know, about four fingers, and I
Speaker 1: knew it was gonna be one of those nights where
Speaker 1: the people are gonna start calling and there's gonna be
Speaker 1: you know them and fine, okay, I'm like, yeah, fine.
Speaker 1: Like I said, I wasn't elated by the pick, especially
Speaker 1: being one game away from the super Bowl and be
Speaker 1: like we're a couple of players away. But at the
Speaker 1: same time, I understands the business. I know that's that's
Speaker 1: the reality. That is the reality, and he had to
Speaker 1: be that. That would had to be a puncture. You
Speaker 1: start to go, you go from scotch to tequila, and
Speaker 1: that's how you react on You didn't think you would
Speaker 1: be doing that. You probably had a nice scotch there
Speaker 1: to celebrate as you get CD Lamb or you know,
Speaker 1: one of these wide receivers out of LSU or Clemson,
Speaker 1: any of the wide receiver. It didn't matter what wide receiver,
Speaker 1: you would have taken any of those guys. But when
Speaker 1: you trade up, and of course the Packers aren't telling
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers what they're going to do with that draft pick.
Speaker 1: But he's got to be excited, although it doesn't sound
Speaker 1: like he was even watching the draft because his agent
Speaker 1: text and says quarterback without any context, like what quarterback?
Speaker 1: Huh No, no corner all cornerback? No, no quarterback. Oh,
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna switch to tequila here. Wow. But
Speaker 1: that's Kyle Brandt's podcast courtesy of that Big Baseball story
Speaker 1: last night, the Dodgers getting some payback on the Astros.
Speaker 1: They picked up the win. More importantly, they picked up
Speaker 1: the win. I mentioned yesterday during the show that how
Speaker 1: long would it take before the Dodgers buzzed the tower
Speaker 1: on one of these players? And I got off the
Speaker 1: air and a baseball source works for Major League Baseball says,
Speaker 1: you know what, given the shortened Serio season, he didn't
Speaker 1: think anything was going to happen because you don't want
Speaker 1: to get suspended. You can't afford to have somebody be
Speaker 1: suspended for five, seven, ten days, and the fact that
Speaker 1: you have a certain number of days to get these
Speaker 1: games in. Didn't think that anybody was going to take
Speaker 1: matters into their own hands. Well that changed. Joe Kelly
Speaker 1: did that too, two of the Houston Astros and Carlos
Speaker 1: Correa and Alex Bregman. I also was watching Pardon the
Speaker 1: Interruption yesterday and Tony Kornheiser says, I can't see with
Speaker 1: this shortened season, anybody you know, doing something stupid throwing
Speaker 1: at the Astros. I'm like, they're going to throw at
Speaker 1: the Astros. The question is do the Dodgers want to
Speaker 1: put themselves in that situation? And obviously there's bad blood there.
Speaker 1: Joe Kelly wasn't with the Dodgers in twenty seventeen when
Speaker 1: you had the signs stealing, but he was with the
Speaker 1: Red Sox who lost to the Astros and to get
Speaker 1: to be able to go to the World Series. And
Speaker 1: Joe Kelly, you know, did a did a couple of
Speaker 1: drive buys with those guys. And I know that we
Speaker 1: always let players, baseball players, they police the game they
Speaker 1: police themselves. You can't be throwing at somebody's head. You
Speaker 1: can't throw nineties six miles an hour in somebody's head.
Speaker 1: If you want to hit him, you want to police
Speaker 1: the game. Hit him in the hip, in the butt,
Speaker 1: in the back, and you can't be thrown a ninety
Speaker 1: six mile an hour fastball. I don't know if Joe
Speaker 1: Kelly was warned after the first pitch. That's what is
Speaker 1: going to be the most surprising. I'm trying to find
Speaker 1: out if he was warned, because I would have been
Speaker 1: shocked if both both benches were not, both managers were
Speaker 1: not told, Hey, I don't want anything up and end.
Speaker 1: I don't, you know, let's let's you know, let's be
Speaker 1: professional here, because the Astros pitchers eventually have to start
Speaker 1: sticking up for the Astros hitters. And that's where I
Speaker 1: would worry. If I'm Dave Robertson and the Dodgers, I
Speaker 1: don't want them throwing at my guys. If my guys
Speaker 1: are throwing at their guys, hey, let's keep it, you know,
Speaker 1: under the shoulders here and you want to hit somebody,
Speaker 1: hit them with the breaking ball, but you're throwing ninety
Speaker 1: six up top there's no excuse for that. There's no
Speaker 1: place in the game for that. I don't like that
Speaker 1: you have a pitcher able to throw a baseball in
Speaker 1: the upper nineties at somebody, and that's supposed to be
Speaker 1: part of the unwritten rules. I've never liked it. I
Speaker 1: know that, you know, I sort of defer to them
Speaker 1: policing the game, policing one another, Like you hit my guy,
Speaker 1: that means my guy's going to hit one of your guys.
Speaker 1: I understand the Astros are in for this season, and
Speaker 1: you know they're going to get this in numerous situations.
Speaker 1: I understand all of that. Don't like it at all
Speaker 1: because I think I always thought it was cowardly that
Speaker 1: a pitcher who didn't have to bat could throw at somebody.
Speaker 1: Now that was before this year, where you know, you
Speaker 1: know you have a DH this year. So you used
Speaker 1: to be in the National League. If you threw it somebody,
Speaker 1: you knew you were coming to the plate, and they
Speaker 1: could do that to you. In the American leg I
Speaker 1: thought that they were cowards when you would throw and
Speaker 1: hit somebody, throw at somebody and you never had to
Speaker 1: come to the plate. But this year, no pitching, no
Speaker 1: pitchers are batting at D's and I just don't like it,
Speaker 1: don't like it at all. I think it's a cowardly
Speaker 1: way out hit them if you want to that they
Speaker 1: know it, you know it, and then there's gonna be
Speaker 1: retribution on, you know, somebody on your team. What if
Speaker 1: somebody pops Cody Belling journeys out for the year, because
Speaker 1: that's the risk you run with this, and those pitchers
Speaker 1: with the Astros eventually have to start throwing at the opposition. Yeah, Pa,
Speaker 1: do you think the baseball is an awkward position here?
Speaker 1: Because if they decide to suspend Joe Kelly for five games,
Speaker 1: hypothetically the Dodgers come back and the Joe Kelly comes
Speaker 1: back and says, oh, I got five games for hitting someone,
Speaker 1: but the other players and Astro has got zero games
Speaker 1: suspended for cheating to win a rock series. I knew,
Speaker 1: but that's the baseball has to be thinking about it.
Speaker 1: But baseball didn't have a rule in place with what
Speaker 1: happened with the Astros. They didn't know how to police
Speaker 1: the Astros for the cheating and the organization, the manager
Speaker 1: and the GM took the hit for those guys. But
Speaker 1: that and if I'm Joe Kelly and I'm the Dodgers,
Speaker 1: and you sit him down for five days, I would
Speaker 1: say the same thing. Oh I got five games for
Speaker 1: hitting somebody. None of those guys got suspended for cheating
Speaker 1: the game. I get it. I understand it. And it
Speaker 1: wasn't one of the more bizarre bench clearing. It wasn't
Speaker 1: a brawl, wasn't an altercation. It was like, you know,
Speaker 1: when you have a party in your backyard and you
Speaker 1: got you know, a bunch of people from the neighborhood
Speaker 1: there and you're kind of, you know, discussing things a
Speaker 1: little bit got a little heated there, but they got
Speaker 1: their mask on. They're practicing social distancing as well. But
Speaker 1: I think it's going to continue with the Astros. It
Speaker 1: depends on who they play. But obviously you knew that
Speaker 1: the Dodgers and Astros weren't going to play this year.
Speaker 1: They weren't scheduled to play this year, so due to
Speaker 1: the pandemic, they changed it because of you know, the
Speaker 1: geographical scheduling. Good for us to discuss something like this,
Speaker 1: But we'll have more on this coming up. We'll hear
Speaker 1: from Dusty Baker his thoughts on his players getting hit yeah, points.
Speaker 1: I guess I want to ask you this before I
Speaker 1: should say getting thrown at not here? Dodgers Astros play tonight? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Should Will the Astros retaliate and then we'll revisit this tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I don't know how it works when you start the
Speaker 1: game and you say the first pitch that I think
Speaker 1: is getting squirrely, you're gone because you have to win
Speaker 1: these games. That's the most important part. The Dodgers were
Speaker 1: winning when this happened, and I think that's the important
Speaker 1: part of this. You got to win the game, and
Speaker 1: especially if against the Astros. But do I think it's
Speaker 1: going to happen? Yeah? I do. Yeah. Can't you make
Speaker 1: the argument that just take the high road and just
Speaker 1: let it go? Do you have to retaliate? Okay, they
Speaker 1: did their thing makes them look immature and obnoxious. So
Speaker 1: we were cheaters and people are going to forever have
Speaker 1: questions about our World Series. Let's just move on and
Speaker 1: not perpetuate this and throw back at them. Um. I
Speaker 1: don't think they see it that way. Tom You know,
Speaker 1: you being a reasonable man when you got your house egged,
Speaker 1: you didn't say, hey, come on, let me take the
Speaker 1: high road. Kids will be kids. But my first thought
Speaker 1: wasn't I can't. I got to find out who it
Speaker 1: is so that I can egg their house. It was
Speaker 1: just to you called the police, right because I want
Speaker 1: to find out who did it. But I wouldn't have
Speaker 1: an urge to, like then go get a dozen eggs
Speaker 1: and pull up in front of the house and egg
Speaker 1: their house. And maybe I'm in the minority I would
Speaker 1: be able to, especially if it's some kid that's a
Speaker 1: little immature and you do want to press charges. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna put a kid in jail or anything like.
Speaker 1: I want to the very least. I want to go
Speaker 1: to the parents and say, you know, you might want
Speaker 1: to straighten your kid out. This is what you did
Speaker 1: the other they're they're not They're not going to jail
Speaker 1: for egging, but you do want to press charges. You're
Speaker 1: upset about that. I want something to be held accountable,
Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna have an eight year old like
Speaker 1: I don't want to club. Sort of like the Dodgers
Speaker 1: in the ass you're throwing. They threw it you, now
Speaker 1: you want to throw it them. I think it's Houston smart.
Speaker 1: They wink at it and move on. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. You have to protect your players, and
Speaker 1: at some point the Astros pitchers are going to take
Speaker 1: matters into their own hands and they're going to go
Speaker 1: after some of the opposition. Yes, is there a difference
Speaker 1: in whether you know Bregman or anyone in a Korea
Speaker 1: whoever got hit versus almost getting hit as far as
Speaker 1: factoring in whether you have to throw back at them,
Speaker 1: the fact that you didn't get hit maybe have a
Speaker 1: better chance of saying, you know what, let it go.
Speaker 1: No one got hurt. But there's intent. There's intent. Now
Speaker 1: Joe Kelly says, hey, you know my control is not
Speaker 1: that good. Okay, But I know the commissioner has other
Speaker 1: things to worry about, like do the Marlins play again
Speaker 1: this season? What happened? Like the Marlins aren't going to
Speaker 1: play sixty games this year. Imagine the Marlins were, they
Speaker 1: were in first place, They're feeling really good about themselves
Speaker 1: leaving Philadelphia. Now all of a sudden, they're not gonna play.
Speaker 1: Marlin's are two and one. That's a six sixty seven
Speaker 1: winning percentage that they don't play again, they're gonna win.
Speaker 1: The condition they should just tap out, so they should
Speaker 1: shut it down for the rest of the regular season.
Speaker 1: Safety first, it's like four corners. Dean Smith, all right,
Speaker 1: what are you gonna what are you gonna put up
Speaker 1: for a poll question? McLevin, Well, we have all sorts
Speaker 1: of these, uh normal poll questions on big stories of
Speaker 1: the day. But if you want to do that, which
Speaker 1: defensive player twenty five hundred would you start your team with?
Speaker 1: I think that could generate a lot of debate because
Speaker 1: we had a little pre show debate about why Joey
Speaker 1: Bosa is getting paid more than anybody ever. Joey Bosa
Speaker 1: got a contract that I don't know. You know, they
Speaker 1: keep talking about salary cap is gonna drop like twenty
Speaker 1: or thirty million dollars and they the Chargers mahomes Bosa
Speaker 1: Is that a verb? But they gave him this contract
Speaker 1: and I went, wow, okay, the Chargers pay Joey Bosa. Yeah,
Speaker 1: McLevin has that such a non chargeless thing to do? Well,
Speaker 1: Remember he held out and lived to tell about it
Speaker 1: with the charges because if you yet, Melvin Gordon held
Speaker 1: out and I had an NFL sort of say this
Speaker 1: didn't gonna end well, and I said it on the air,
Speaker 1: This didn't gonna end well, and it didn't end well
Speaker 1: for Melvin Gordon. Bosa holds out, still gets paid. And
Speaker 1: then now they he's twenty five years of age, and
Speaker 1: you could make a case he's on that short lived
Speaker 1: He's in the top five of best defensive players. He's
Speaker 1: being overshadowed though, I think by his brother because his
Speaker 1: brother on a team that went to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: But Nick Bosa could have been the MVP if the
Speaker 1: Niners had won the Super Bowl. But Joey Bosa at
Speaker 1: age twenty five, and you start to look, you know,
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett's twenty four, he's getting paid. T J. Watt
Speaker 1: is twenty five, Jamal Adams twenty four, Jalen Ramsey twenty five,
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa twenty five, Nick Bosa twenty two, the Naol
Speaker 1: Hunter is twenty five. You got some pretty good, pretty
Speaker 1: good defense. Who players there? Young defense? Who players there?
Speaker 1: But Joey Bosa got paid? Is he the highest paid
Speaker 1: defensive player now? So he surpasses what Khalil Mack I
Speaker 1: think in most categories he's the highest paid. I think
Speaker 1: Maaron Donald mac has its highest total or something. Okay,
Speaker 1: but per year, is Bosa biggest bonus one hundred three
Speaker 1: guaranteed man. Okay, Doug in North Carolina. Then we'll take
Speaker 1: a break and check in with the New England Patriots.
Speaker 1: High Doug, what do you have for me today? Well, Dan,
Speaker 1: this could be a sad day in my life. I'm
Speaker 1: considering resigning as the president of the Fritzie fan Club.
Speaker 1: Wow wow. Large part it was because of the pizza thing,
Speaker 1: and then then learning he doesn't wear underwear, but the
Speaker 1: not knowing the name of the Astrost manager may have
Speaker 1: been the last slide. But I want to give him
Speaker 1: one more chance. I see he's wearing a Broncos cap,
Speaker 1: so I'm wondering if he can name the head coach
Speaker 1: of the Denver Broncos. So if he does, I'll stay
Speaker 1: on as the head of the fan club. Okay, Todd Fangio,
Speaker 1: you got his first migo. Okay, Wow. I got nervous
Speaker 1: for a second when he finished asking the question. Todd goes,
Speaker 1: oh black. I just got very pale because I'm like,
Speaker 1: for a second, I didn't think of it. I needed
Speaker 1: a few extra seconds. I get put on the spot
Speaker 1: like that. I just I was like that when I
Speaker 1: used to take tests in school too. I was like fine,
Speaker 1: and then as soon as that paper got put in
Speaker 1: front of me, and if I didn't immediately know the
Speaker 1: first question, I'd stop panicking. Con you graduated second in
Speaker 1: your class, I know, but I would have that initial
Speaker 1: anxiety and panic, and then once I calmed myself down,
Speaker 1: I was able to breathe through the test, but that
Speaker 1: initial fear, which is what I just experienced. If you
Speaker 1: only would have remembered aj Hinch yesterday, I loved very
Speaker 1: reacted to front Row said could I get his initials?
Speaker 1: And when that's what helped me get It's like, why
Speaker 1: are they acted like that over my question? Seaton and
Speaker 1: Paulie got out of their seats. If you didn't get
Speaker 1: vic Fangio, then I would probably tell you to go home.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I'd probably just ask you to leave and
Speaker 1: then maybe just come back when the Marlins come back. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's at least next month. Yeah, at least till next Monday.
Speaker 1: Just go home and study up on some sports, like
Speaker 1: current sports, because if if there was well, there was
Speaker 1: a category nineteen eighties sports questions when we had Sports Jeopardy,
Speaker 1: and I knew the edits, but you have to time
Speaker 1: the buzzer and I thought maybe it wasn't plugged in.
Speaker 1: I actually asked one of the technical people like during
Speaker 1: the break to check to see if my stuff was connected.
Speaker 1: So your button was not plugged in? Yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: you think. It was a conspiracy. Everybody's was working and
Speaker 1: mine wasn't because I had all the afterro Broncho, we'll
Speaker 1: take a break here, Tom Kerrn will join us. Is
Speaker 1: this some diabolical scheme that Bill Belichick is fronting here
Speaker 1: with the New England Patriots and their players opting out?
Speaker 1: We'll talk to Tom coming up here. It's twenty two
Speaker 1: after the hour. Michael Phelps will join us in an
Speaker 1: hour from now, and Rudy Gobert or the Utah Jazz
Speaker 1: Center we'll stop by in the final hour of the program.

Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app by searching f s R. McLevin
Speaker 1: brought this up as a potential poll question. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's a question if you're a Patriots fan, would
Speaker 1: you rather be nine and seven or two and fourteen?
Speaker 1: I want to be two and fourteen. I got to
Speaker 1: think long term here. If I can get a quarterback
Speaker 1: at two and fourteen, it's Trevor Lawrence. I like that. Yeah, McLevin.
Speaker 1: Could you argue that nine and seven in these conditions
Speaker 1: is an incredible achievement? You know, losing all these guys? Well,
Speaker 1: who cares about an achievement? Like? My achievement is I
Speaker 1: just got the best quarterback prospect for the next decade
Speaker 1: or so. Yeah, point, Cam Newton makes the Pro Bowl
Speaker 1: in your qualify for the playoffs, or you're two and fourteen.
Speaker 1: Two and fourteen, it means Cam Newton will be back
Speaker 1: two and fourteen. I get Trevor Lawrence, who might be
Speaker 1: a great NFL quarterback. I'll roll the dice on Trevor. Yes,
Speaker 1: Tom Belichick, give Brady. That's satisfaction. He leaves it. You
Speaker 1: go two and fourteen, even if it's obvious that you're
Speaker 1: taking who knows if Trevor Lawrence, if we think he's
Speaker 1: gonna be good, but you don't know. Do you think
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick is coaching this year? While looking in his
Speaker 1: mirror to see what Tom breeks. But that's in the
Speaker 1: back of his mind. I think, sure he doesn't want
Speaker 1: this to be a disaster season with first well, of
Speaker 1: course he doesn't want it to be a disastrous season
Speaker 1: two and fourteen than nine and seven. For the choice,
Speaker 1: he may not have a choice. Yes, I'll say it again,
Speaker 1: but who in the hell in New England cares about
Speaker 1: making the playoffs. That's like what you're supposed to at
Speaker 1: least do the bare minimum is make it to the playoffs.
Speaker 1: That's not like some great thing for the Patriots, like, hey, look,
Speaker 1: we made it to the playoffs this year. Who cares
Speaker 1: you didn't win the Super Bowl. He's Tom e Kerran,
Speaker 1: the Patriots insider friend BC Sports Boston. Do you want
Speaker 1: to jump in on this there, Tom, Yeah. First of all, yeah,
Speaker 1: they're paying attention. They want to do better than what
Speaker 1: Tom he does, regardless they might love him individually. But
Speaker 1: I've been told by folks inside that building we're going
Speaker 1: to be watching every week and gosh started it. We
Speaker 1: do not want to end up with fewer wins than
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So that's a check mark. And
Speaker 1: plus I think the Belichick would be left in a
Speaker 1: twitching pool of liquid on the floor if he ever
Speaker 1: had a two win season. I mean he said that
Speaker 1: once Dan when the Andrew luck previous to him and
Speaker 1: the Colts bottomed out after Peyton Manning Curtis painter Wood
Speaker 1: their quarterback. A couple of years later, Belichick said, you know,
Speaker 1: you never want to be late on the quarterback position.
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't want to be the Colts. So no,
Speaker 1: it's I still even wonder, even if they went to
Speaker 1: a fourteen, if he'd spend on a quarterback at the
Speaker 1: top of the draft, because I think that the idea
Speaker 1: of getting committed to that position at twenty five thirty
Speaker 1: million dollars a year, even down the road, he doesn't
Speaker 1: love it all right, I stand or sit corrected, because
Speaker 1: I would have thought that Belichick cares about the Patriots
Speaker 1: and you know, their seasoning, not concerned about what Tom
Speaker 1: Brady is doing. And I don't know if that's a
Speaker 1: referendum on Belichick. Do you think Belichick thinks whatever Tom
Speaker 1: does and Tampa does is a referendum on him. No,
Speaker 1: not necessarily, but I do think it's almost like it's
Speaker 1: going to turn into a bird magic thing where they're
Speaker 1: eyeing each other and checking on each other and paying
Speaker 1: attention to who what each other's blox scores are. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's a coincidence at all, Dan that yesterday,
Speaker 1: after the spate of opt outs, Rob Gronkowski's tweets out
Speaker 1: basically LFG and then Brady goes indeed Robert. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just not a coincidence. How many players so far?
Speaker 1: What are we up to? And the opt out Patriots
Speaker 1: six six of them? Okay, three real, real key guys.
Speaker 1: And then you got the mccordy brothers. Yes have they are?
Speaker 1: They gonna make a decision soon, and it felt like
Speaker 1: that there might be a question mark for the thirty
Speaker 1: two year old defensive backs. Yeah, it's August third is
Speaker 1: what seems to be the tenantive out date. July twenty
Speaker 1: eighth was the reporting date and they were going to
Speaker 1: give it a week, So it's about August third that
Speaker 1: hasn't been locked and cemented in Stone. I think with
Speaker 1: Devin and Jason both they're continuing to mullet. I mean,
Speaker 1: Devin has lost his secondary mate in Patrick Chung. But
Speaker 1: the interesting thing about Belichick is he takes a guy
Speaker 1: and puts his hands on his cheeks and says, you're
Speaker 1: my guy. You're the guy who's going to be my sergeant.
Speaker 1: You're my general, my leader for the next ten years.
Speaker 1: And he's done that with Devin mccordy, and I think
Speaker 1: in doing that, you develop a certain level of commitment
Speaker 1: from that play. I mean, Devin had a terrible tragedy
Speaker 1: earlier this summary, lost a child in childbirth or just
Speaker 1: before childbirth. He's got multiple kids. I mean, I'm sure
Speaker 1: that he's got enough money, he's got enough rings, he's
Speaker 1: got enough fame, he's very active in social justice matters.
Speaker 1: There's a million things he could do. But I think
Speaker 1: that the commitment weighs on him too. So it'll be
Speaker 1: interesting to see which way he goes. If Brady was
Speaker 1: still the quarterback there. Do you think these players would
Speaker 1: be ompting up? I asked the same question yesterday. No,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think that would happen. I think
Speaker 1: that they would have a much harder time explaining it.
Speaker 1: Look Marcus Cannon as a cancer survivor, I think that
Speaker 1: that is on its own planet. And High Tower and
Speaker 1: Chung both have newborns or soon to have newborns and
Speaker 1: Brandon Bolden had had a health situation too, if I'm
Speaker 1: not mistaken, But I think when these players look at it,
Speaker 1: they're like, I've made over thirty million dollars, I have
Speaker 1: three rings, I'm over thirty years old. This seems like
Speaker 1: it's going to be a bit of a cluster. We're
Speaker 1: gonna sit there in our cars and wait to get
Speaker 1: into the facility to have our nose swabed one by
Speaker 1: one every day. Then after the nose swab, we have
Speaker 1: to go through this process of getting into the locker room,
Speaker 1: then into the training room, then onto the practice field
Speaker 1: for a season that might not happen. And I think
Speaker 1: that a lot of those players are like, do I
Speaker 1: want to do that? To go in there and go
Speaker 1: seven to nine with Jared Steadham or Cam Newton or
Speaker 1: whatever we're trying to do. If Brady was there, though, Dan,
Speaker 1: I don't think seven and nine would be in the conversation.
Speaker 1: So no, I don't think that there would be this
Speaker 1: many players opting out because they would be championship caliber.
Speaker 1: What about Belichick's role in all of this that I
Speaker 1: know that he gets maybe too much credit sometimes maybe
Speaker 1: sometimes not enough blame. But this situation where you actually
Speaker 1: have people saying, is this a plan by Bill Belichick
Speaker 1: to tank this season? Do you think that Belichick is
Speaker 1: capable of doing that? Yeah? That first germinated with an
Speaker 1: NFL executive tweeting or texting back and forth, Adam Schefter,
Speaker 1: And as I said in response to that, this explains
Speaker 1: why there's so much turnover and the head coaching in
Speaker 1: the NFL executive ranks every three years or so. I mean,
Speaker 1: you can't be any more staggeringly, ridiculously dumb than that.
Speaker 1: I think that Bill Belichick would think it's a great
Speaker 1: idea to lose the lynchpin of his defense and thought
Speaker 1: they high tower the right tackle and then they're blocked safety.
Speaker 1: That's great. Yeah, let's go out and go two and fourteen,
Speaker 1: just like Damn was talking about it. I mean, come on,
Speaker 1: come on. He did bench Malcolm Butler in the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl time because he thought he'd win anyway. Honest to god,
Speaker 1: he thought he would. I mean, I had someone close
Speaker 1: to me go, it's not like they're going to go
Speaker 1: out there and score forty point with Nick Foles, right,
Speaker 1: I mean they did. They did not think Nick Foles
Speaker 1: was great. They made me put my coffee cup down
Speaker 1: at the beginning because it was here and they said
Speaker 1: it was blocking the shot. Yeah, but halfway through I
Speaker 1: need to take a sip. Well, they probably had a
Speaker 1: problem that it says Duncan Donuts on it, so we're
Speaker 1: giving dunk Can donuts some love there. Well it's as
Speaker 1: Duncan because they took the donuts off. But yeah, you're right,
Speaker 1: all right, how's that? And that's good. By the way,
Speaker 1: that's a nice hat you got. Is that a cap?
Speaker 1: It's a scally cap. Some people call it a newsboy.
Speaker 1: I guess these days. Yeah, yeah, well these days or
Speaker 1: maybe like you know, seventy years ago. You know what, Dan,
Speaker 1: I don't like the direction of the conversation. Now things
Speaker 1: are going great, and do you know I will add
Speaker 1: add to this. The one thing about not being in
Speaker 1: training camp is going to be fascinating because they have
Speaker 1: these three different classifications for the media. There's something called
Speaker 1: two M. There's gonna be ten slots. Those individuals will
Speaker 1: have to be tested every day as well to have
Speaker 1: any indoor access and even with New England we might
Speaker 1: not have direct access. And then it's something called three
Speaker 1: O A, which is you never will be in the
Speaker 1: same room as a Patriots player, and for me, I
Speaker 1: will never be. I might not see a rep of
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots until their first game of the
Speaker 1: season because I probably won't be able to get to practice.
Speaker 1: We'll probably get one person out to practice for our place,
Speaker 1: which generates a ridiculous amount. I don't know how I
Speaker 1: started on that. There was a point that I wanted
Speaker 1: to make, but here I am. I just I'm not
Speaker 1: going to see a lot of reps so I don't
Speaker 1: have to shower up every day. Got at Cam Newton
Speaker 1: updates for me? They expect him to. I think that
Speaker 1: they are take this Dan and I don't have any updates.
Speaker 1: Would you and the fellas think that the lack of
Speaker 1: a preseason for Cam Newton can somehow be construed as
Speaker 1: an advantage for Bill Belichick. I would say that it does,
Speaker 1: because no one knows what they're gonna do with them.
Speaker 1: No one knows that they're gonna start Stidham, no one
Speaker 1: knows that they're gonna start Newton. No one knows what
Speaker 1: the offense is going to look like. So that's a
Speaker 1: place where I say that Bill Belichick genius and subterfuge helps.
Speaker 1: It's great to talk too. It's great to see you,
Speaker 1: and I hope you have a great week and a
Speaker 1: great life, a great month, great season, all of those.
Speaker 1: This isn't goodbye for now. Okay, Yeah, I got to
Speaker 1: resume my regularly scheduled programming because you kind of took
Speaker 1: us off path here and then I lost half my
Speaker 1: audience there when you were telling about not being able
Speaker 1: to go to the facility. People are interested in how
Speaker 1: the nuts and bolts, how the sausage gets made. I
Speaker 1: defy you to be. So that's Tom E. Curran, Patriots
Speaker 1: insider for NBC Sports. All Right, mclovin, what's the pull
Speaker 1: question we're gonna go with. Okay, there's one more to
Speaker 1: throw out, so you have your choice. You go. Will
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers be the starting quarterback for the Packers in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one? If you're a Patriots fan, would you
Speaker 1: rather the Patriots go two and fourteen or nine and seven?
Speaker 1: I kind of disagree with Tom. Or we could go
Speaker 1: best young defensive player, or we could go if you
Speaker 1: were an opposing picture, would you throw at the astros?
Speaker 1: So it depends what topic you want to get. I
Speaker 1: would let me see if you're if you're a Dodgers
Speaker 1: fan or a Dodgers player, would you want the picture
Speaker 1: to throw at the Astros? Um? I kind of want
Speaker 1: to win the game. That's the best retribution I can
Speaker 1: have for the Astros. All right, you hit him and
Speaker 1: then what he walks down to first base? I mean,
Speaker 1: you want to get your frustration out, win the game.
Speaker 1: That's more important here. If I'm if, if I'm gonna
Speaker 1: have somebody throw at the Astros, then just be professional
Speaker 1: and how you throw at them. But I don't want
Speaker 1: to lose any of my pictures. I don't want them
Speaker 1: to be suspended. Will Aaron Rodgers be the starting quarterback
Speaker 1: for the Packers in twenty twenty one? I'm gonna say yes,
Speaker 1: but not after that? And when when? When we come back?
Speaker 1: Possible destinations for Aaron Rodgers when he leaves the Packers
Speaker 1: phone calls always welcome. Michael Phelps will join us coming
Speaker 1: up next hour, and Rudy Gobert the Utah Jazz Center
Speaker 1: on getting it all started back in March when he
Speaker 1: tested positive. All of that coming up here on the
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show. Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick
Speaker 1: Show podcast. Be sure to catch us live every weekday
Speaker 1: morning nine until noon eastern six to nine Pacific on
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, and you can find us on the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app at FSR or stream us live every day
Speaker 1: at YouTube dot com slash the Dan Patrick Show. Here's
Speaker 1: Dusty Baker, the Astros manager, on how the bench clearing started.
Speaker 1: You know what really and raised everybody is when you
Speaker 1: know he told Carlos, I mean, he struck him out,
Speaker 1: and until they're nice wing you see, what are you?
Speaker 1: What are you supposed to do? Then? And then what
Speaker 1: upset me is at the umpires warned us. Once you
Speaker 1: warned him, you know he's the one throwing the ball,
Speaker 1: and you know he's the one that started this mess
Speaker 1: in the first place. So I didn't like it at all.
Speaker 1: I know, Dusty one some sympathy. He's not getting any
Speaker 1: sympathy at least not yet. But yes, the umpire should
Speaker 1: have warned the Dodgers as well. And Game two coming
Speaker 1: up tonight, maybe the Astros and Dodgers realized that somebody,
Speaker 1: you know, was going to get thrown at. Nobody got hit.
Speaker 1: I don't know if Major League Baseball steps in to
Speaker 1: say if you hit somebody, you both benches worn. Both
Speaker 1: managers warn both starting pitchers worn, and if it happens,
Speaker 1: then we're going to set you down for X number
Speaker 1: of games. Play of the Day has brought you by
Speaker 1: great wireless ear buds from Raycon The way to go

Speaker 1: Larry in Texas joins us on the program, Hey Larry,
Speaker 1: what do you have for me today? Hey? Damn? I
Speaker 1: was just thinking if the Astros and Dodgers get into
Speaker 1: a fight tonight, the Astros should punch them wearing their
Speaker 1: World Series range. That's good, Larry, at least wear them
Speaker 1: to the ball park there. I think that would be great.
Speaker 1: David in Texas joins us, Hey David, what do you
Speaker 1: have for me that? So? My thoughts are on the
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers comments that made earlier. I think, what are
Speaker 1: the chances? Maybe it's a pipe dream that Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: comes down to the Dallas Cowboys reunite with Mike McCarthy
Speaker 1: and with the drop off Dak Prescott. Hang up, all right,
Speaker 1: thank you, David. I'm gonna guess if Aaron Rodgers didn't
Speaker 1: like Mike McCarthy and Green Bay, he might not like
Speaker 1: him in Dallas either. A couple of possible destinations, and
Speaker 1: it's going to happen with Aaron Rodgers. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's a question of if he leaves Green Bay. It's
Speaker 1: going to be when is it after the twenty twenty
Speaker 1: one season, because he still has a lot of money
Speaker 1: coming his way. And then Jordan Love is going to
Speaker 1: probably take a couple of years if he's even able
Speaker 1: to be a starting quarterback in the NFL. He can
Speaker 1: have all the talent. That doesn't guarantee that the Packers
Speaker 1: have found their guy. Maybe they have, maybe they realized
Speaker 1: they got something special. What about going to the Chicago Bears,
Speaker 1: because they will have moved on from Mitchell Trubisky. Nick
Speaker 1: Foles will probably be done or you know, would be
Speaker 1: the backup quarterback. And if you could say, hey, we're
Speaker 1: going to send a message like Brett Farve did when
Speaker 1: he went to Minnesota, that that'd be a direct hit
Speaker 1: because Bears Packers is a whole lot different than Packers
Speaker 1: in the Vikings and Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay. They'd
Speaker 1: finally have a professional quarterback there. I also see. Let's
Speaker 1: say Drew Locke is not the quarterback Denver thinks they
Speaker 1: have they have invested in weapons. Let's say two years
Speaker 1: from now, Aaron Rodgers John Elway puts the Peyton Manning
Speaker 1: press on him and brings him in. As a possibility,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't rule out Dallas from the standpoint of Jerry
Speaker 1: Owns wanting to get Aaron Rodgers there. But I don't
Speaker 1: know what that relationship is like between Jerry Jones and
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. You know, Dak may look at it as okay,
Speaker 1: it's the player, takes it personally the owner. For the
Speaker 1: most part, it's business. But if Dak looks at this
Speaker 1: and says, hey, I get it. It's business. I'm going
Speaker 1: to get paid, whether it's here or someplace else. Do
Speaker 1: the Cowboys move on from Dak Prescott if they know
Speaker 1: that they can get Aaron Rodgers. I'm sure there are
Speaker 1: other teams, but Aaron Rodgers wants to go. How about
Speaker 1: New England as a possibility because Tom Brady has talked
Speaker 1: about Aaron Rodgers before and how Aaron Rodgers would succeed
Speaker 1: in Belichick's offense because he can make all the throws
Speaker 1: they're gonna know what they have in Stidham. They'll know
Speaker 1: what they have in cam Newton in two years. This
Speaker 1: is two seasons, so it's this season, next season, and
Speaker 1: then Aaron Rodgers I believe is playing for somebody else.
Speaker 1: But those are just some of the psabilities that you have,
Speaker 1: I think with Aaron Rodgers. Yeah. Point you mentioned Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers to the Bears, and as a Bears fan, it's
Speaker 1: like I got really excited for a second. Then I
Speaker 1: remember there's almost like a force field around the Bears
Speaker 1: franchise for great Hall of Fame quarterbacks. They don't enter
Speaker 1: unless they're coming to play the Bears. They don't join
Speaker 1: the Bears, they don't get drafted by the Bears. Something
Speaker 1: happens when they walk in there. That's right, that all
Speaker 1: of a sudden something changes with them. You could send
Speaker 1: in Patrick Mahomes to Chicago and he could walk in
Speaker 1: there and put a Bears uniform on and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, you go, wait, what happened to Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 1: Like if the card went up to the commissioner that
Speaker 1: the Bears draft Patrick Mahomes, commissioner said, I don't see this.
Speaker 1: I don't actually see this happening. He may have vetoed
Speaker 1: it right there. Yeah, this is actually a really good quarterback.
Speaker 1: Can't do that to Pat Mahomes. Yeah, mcclub. What about
Speaker 1: the three California teams with Rogers returning? Any chance the
Speaker 1: Chargers or Rams opens up or the Niners or the Niners.
Speaker 1: I know, Jimmy G's under for a lot of money,
Speaker 1: and so it's golf and so Justice Herbert's there. But
Speaker 1: are you years a lot can changed. Yes, yeah, we've
Speaker 1: seen that with the NFL. I could certainly see San
Speaker 1: Francisco if they kicked the tires on Tom Brady. Why
Speaker 1: wouldn't you do? And that's two more years with Garoppolo. Now,
Speaker 1: maybe you see progression there with Garoppolo or you're gonna
Speaker 1: realize because Garoppolo, I think would be twenty nine in
Speaker 1: two years. Packards have had two opening day starting quarterbacks
Speaker 1: in the last twenty seven years. Other than the Patriots,
Speaker 1: who have had three, every other team has had at
Speaker 1: least six season opening starting quarterbacks since nineteen ninety three.
Speaker 1: The day, oh yeah, the day past, stat of the day,
Speaker 1: stat of the day, it comes that what stat of
Speaker 1: the day, By the way, that's courtesy of Ethan our
Speaker 1: stat guy. Yes, mclovin. So the Patriots, it's it's when
Speaker 1: Bledsoe Brady garoppolo for the year Brady was suspended. Is
Speaker 1: that the three? I think? So that's weird. That'll be
Speaker 1: the fourth this year. Yeah, because Brady got hurt that
Speaker 1: one year. Matt Castle took over for him, but Brady
Speaker 1: did start this season. Jesse in California, Hey, Jess, what
Speaker 1: do you have for me? Good morning, Dan? How are
Speaker 1: you good? Jess? First time? Long time? Five eight one?
Speaker 1: All right, Dan, Today my fourieth birthday. Currently I'm out
Speaker 1: playing golf with my brothers. Well, happy birthday. Oh, thank
Speaker 1: you Dan. I just want to say thank you for
Speaker 1: all that you do. Dan. I've been listening to you
Speaker 1: guys for over ten years. I really appreciate the show,
Speaker 1: the banter, just all the stuff that you guys talked about.
Speaker 1: You guys brought sports music. Everything is always just a something. Bryan.
Speaker 1: Our day out here. Well, thank you, Jesse. You have
Speaker 1: a great day with your brothers there and a happy
Speaker 1: fortieth birthday. What's the poll question we're going with? McLevin.
Speaker 1: I actually started out, will Aaron Rodgers be the court
Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty one for the Packers. Just to
Speaker 1: get the consensus, only fifty six percent say yes. That's
Speaker 1: pretty close. Coming up top to the hour, when did
Speaker 1: the Miami Marlins play again? Who wants to go to
Speaker 1: Miami to play? Who wants to have Miami Marlins coming
Speaker 1: to your ballpark? Here? Jeff Passon from the mother Ship
Speaker 1: will join us, and Michael Phelps got a documentary coming out,
Speaker 1: really really deep deep dive there with Michael Phelps on depression.
Speaker 1: Michael will join us coming up
