Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour. In this Wednesday Dan and the
Speaker 1: Dann's Dan Patrick Show. Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk
Speaker 1: will join us. Coming up and in about twenty minutes
Speaker 1: we bring back all of our preseason predictions, some good,
Speaker 1: some bad, some really good, and some pretty incredible hot
Speaker 1: takes there. But we'll have that for you coming up
Speaker 1: in about twenty minutes from now eight seven to seven
Speaker 1: three DP. Show operator Tyler is sitting by. Good morning.
Speaker 1: Those watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app.
Speaker 1: Are radio affiliates around the country, numbering four hundred and
Speaker 1: ten cities. Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry combined for the
Speaker 1: most yards rushing, passing receiving yards by any set of
Speaker 1: teammates in NFL history. They had seven thousand, two hundred
Speaker 1: and one rushing, passing and receiving yards this season. The
Speaker 1: previous mark was set by Ben Roethlisberger and Le'Veon Bell
Speaker 1: that was seven one hundred and eighty eight.
Speaker 2: Statu A day statu, the day statu, the day stat
Speaker 2: of the day, statu to day status day start of
Speaker 2: to day startup.
Speaker 1: The third staut of the day brought to you by
Speaker 1: Pennini America the official trading cards of the program. That
Speaker 1: was Ben and Le'Veon Bell with the twenty fourteen Steelers
Speaker 1: and NFL teams rushing the ball this year, I don't
Speaker 1: think it was an aberration, you know. I think you
Speaker 1: saw this with playoff teams. It was league wide forty
Speaker 1: three point four percent of the time NFL teams ran
Speaker 1: the ball this season. That's the highest rate since two
Speaker 1: thousand and nine. And there is a correlation here to
Speaker 1: success because you have seven out of the ten teams
Speaker 1: that were in the top ten rushing they're in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: and then you had a couple of teams just outside
Speaker 1: of the top ten who were in the playoffs. All right,
Speaker 1: Pole question for the final hour of this Wednesday program,
Speaker 1: Seaton is going to be, what, Well, let.
Speaker 3: Me update you on a couple of them that we
Speaker 3: got floating around right now. We did a couple of
Speaker 3: road games team road teams that are most likely to win,
Speaker 3: right NFC road team most likely to win? Right now
Speaker 3: that people about fifty seven percent of the audience have
Speaker 3: the Vikings beating the Rams on the road. In the
Speaker 3: AFC road team most likely to win Chargers have eighty
Speaker 3: nine percent of that vote, beating the Texans.
Speaker 4: Not allow of the love for the Texans there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Chargers are favored, so were the Vikings, both on
Speaker 1: the road, and I think there's a strong sentiment that
Speaker 1: the Commanders can beat Tampa Bay. I've watched probably more
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay football this year than I thought I would.
Speaker 1: But Baker Mayfield played great, still got that chip on
Speaker 1: his shoulder, and Mike Evans. Mike Evans can bail out
Speaker 1: any quarterback. Now, Baker did throw forty touchdowns this year.
Speaker 1: They got a running game. They're just a sneaky good team.
Speaker 1: And I think because they play in the NFC South,
Speaker 1: we kind of look at them and they go, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: how good are they? I think they're I think they're good,
Speaker 1: and I think they have the potential to be a
Speaker 1: two win team in the playoffs. Now the Commanders, you know,
Speaker 1: that's kind of the great mystery there because a rookie
Speaker 1: quarterback going into the postseason. We saw c J. Stroud
Speaker 1: last year against the Ravens. I mean, bow Knicks is
Speaker 1: We're going to see what he can do on the
Speaker 1: road against Buffalo. It's difficult. It's difficult for any quarterback
Speaker 1: to win on the road. Now you're asking rookies to
Speaker 1: win on the road, and they are experienced quarterbacks. You know,
Speaker 1: Bo Nicks and Jaden Daniels, as we pointed out, they
Speaker 1: played for two different schools in two big conferences and
Speaker 1: they have shown success. The transition was right away, Drake
Speaker 1: May you know, go back to Tom Brady's comments where
Speaker 1: he thought it was unfair that we were expecting these
Speaker 1: quarterbacks to come in and be successful. Well, Tom was
Speaker 1: wrong certainly with this group. These guys came in and played.
Speaker 1: In fact, the guys who were coming in next year,
Speaker 1: it's going to be even tougher because these guys made
Speaker 1: it look a little bit easier than what it really is.
Speaker 1: Cam Ward and Shador Sanders and Jalen Milroe, whoever else
Speaker 1: is Riley Leonard, you know who. It's not a deep
Speaker 1: quarterback draft, or at least up top with guys that
Speaker 1: when you're going to draft them, are you going to
Speaker 1: be able to play? So somebody might reach for somebody
Speaker 1: a little sooner than they normally would because you want
Speaker 1: to get your quarterback. I always say, don't get a quarterback,
Speaker 1: get your quarterback. And too many of these GMS owners, coaches,
Speaker 1: they start to panic when they're on the clock, and
Speaker 1: it's you've got to you've got to have discipline with that.
Speaker 1: You've got to say, that's our guy, and if it's
Speaker 1: not that guy, then it's that guy. That's it. But
Speaker 1: you can't go and I go back to gosh far
Speaker 1: back as the Bengals. The Bengals took Achille Smith out
Speaker 1: of Oregon. I don't think they wanted him, and I
Speaker 1: think they were like, well, we got to get a quarterback.
Speaker 1: And it felt like, you know, these teams are jumping
Speaker 1: up and we're not going to get a quarterback. Get
Speaker 1: your quarterback, because when you get your quarterback, then you
Speaker 1: have success. Like Denver did with bo Nicks. The Commanders,
Speaker 1: they wanted Jayden Daniels. They didn't care about Caleb Williams.
Speaker 1: They knew what they wanted and that guy fell right.
Speaker 1: They didn't have to go up and get him. They
Speaker 1: didn't panic and go, we got to go, let's trade.
Speaker 1: They didn't do that. But when you have that patience
Speaker 1: and you give them patients to develop, that's when you
Speaker 1: see success. Drake May coming out of college. There are
Speaker 1: a lot of people who had a lot of opinions
Speaker 1: on Drake May. Oh my gosh, the Patriots they reached.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: I watched him his last year at North Carolina and
Speaker 1: I didn't think he was great. But then I talked
Speaker 1: to one scout and then we had Tim Hasselbeck on
Speaker 1: analyst for the Mothership, and he did a couple of
Speaker 1: North Carolina gains. He was raving about him, raving, and
Speaker 1: then the NFL scout who's a friend, said, hey, he's
Speaker 1: got to clean up some things, but he has that
Speaker 1: ability to be a great quarterback and thought he could
Speaker 1: be a Justin Herbert kind of athlete at that position.
Speaker 1: Mike Florio is joining us on loan from Pro Football Talk.
Speaker 1: Always great to talk to Mike, and you can see
Speaker 1: him with Chris Simms Monday through Friday preceding this show
Speaker 1: on Peacock. Why did the Raiders wait a day to
Speaker 1: fire Antonio Pierce?
Speaker 6: Well, you know, first of all, Dan, there's no happy
Speaker 6: new Year if it's not too late to say happy Yes, okay,
Speaker 6: that's fine, Happy New Year anyway. I mean, what's the alternative?
Speaker 6: Unhappy New Year? Is that what happens?
Speaker 1: How about just hi, Mike? How are you hi?
Speaker 6: And unless you are going to jump into the chase
Speaker 6: for Mike Vrabel, which maybe the Raiders will. You can't
Speaker 6: have face to face interviews with coordinators from other teams
Speaker 6: until January twenty, so you don't have to make a
Speaker 6: snap decision right away. But you'd like to think, as
Speaker 6: Jerry Jones so eloquently said last week, going into the
Speaker 6: Week eighteen game against the Commanders, the hey is in
Speaker 6: the barn on what you're going to do about your coach.
Speaker 6: The Patriots knew why wait now, Look, there's an element
Speaker 6: of awkwardness that creeps in when you're firing the guys
Speaker 6: still in the locker room after the regular season finale.
Speaker 6: But once you know what you're going to do, any
Speaker 6: delay in implementing it runs the risk that someone else
Speaker 6: is going to find out and it's going to get
Speaker 6: out there. So you know, whether it's Mark Davis wanted
Speaker 6: to talk to Tom Brady who was working on Sunday
Speaker 6: and not at the game and not available for Davis
Speaker 6: to cauc us with, whatever the case may be. One
Speaker 6: day isn't a huge thing in the grand scheme of things,
Speaker 6: because if you're looking for coordinators, you've got a couple
Speaker 6: more weeks before you can even sit down and talk
Speaker 6: to him.
Speaker 1: I talked to somebody yesterday I trust in the business,
Speaker 1: and we were talking about a variety of things, including
Speaker 1: Brady's fingerprints all over the Raiders' situation here, and I said,
Speaker 1: I thought Antonio Pierce was going to be fired, So
Speaker 1: now you're the Mike Rabel situation, Rabel Brady relationship. And
Speaker 1: so this person said to me, I could see a
Speaker 1: scenario where Vrabel doesn't go to the Patriots because of
Speaker 1: his allegiance to Bill Belichick and what the Crafts did
Speaker 1: to Belichick out the door. I don't know if he
Speaker 1: would do that, you know, it seems like he's the
Speaker 1: obvious guy there. But can Brady convince Brabel to go
Speaker 1: to the Raiders.
Speaker 6: Well, that's where it would become extremely interesting interesting if
Speaker 6: Brady would use the way the Patriots treated Belichick, even
Speaker 6: though it kind of fell apart for Brady and Belichick
Speaker 6: near the end, But that's a way to convince Rabel
Speaker 6: not to go back there. Rabel's going to do his
Speaker 6: own thing. Rabel's going to do what's right for him,
Speaker 6: and he's got that red jacket with the crest on
Speaker 6: it that makes him a member of the Patriots Hall
Speaker 6: of Fame. It's going to be tough to pull him
Speaker 6: away from New England. But he's the one guy right
Speaker 6: now who is going to have multiple opportunities interviewing with
Speaker 6: the Bears today. Saints want to talk to him, Jets
Speaker 6: have talked to him, Raiders presumably will want to It's
Speaker 6: everybody with the Jaguars so far have been linked to
Speaker 6: him in one way, shape or form, And at the
Speaker 6: end of the day, he'll know in his heart whether
Speaker 6: he wants to go to New England despite the things
Speaker 6: that happened with Belichick, and I could see Rabel compartmentalizing it.
Speaker 6: I could see Rabel smoothing things over with Bill. If
Speaker 6: Bill's noses out to joint, how dare you take that
Speaker 6: job and go to New England when I was there
Speaker 6: all those years? And you know, Rabel's got he's got
Speaker 6: a lot of parcels in him where he'll make his
Speaker 6: point in a very blunt way, but it's also kind
Speaker 6: of a charming and funny way, and he's good with
Speaker 6: people in that respect. And I think that he'll manage
Speaker 6: Belichick and he'll go where he feels like he should go.
Speaker 6: And it just seems like a no brain to go
Speaker 6: to New England. But how many times do we see
Speaker 6: no brainers that just blow up and go a different direction.
Speaker 1: How do you think Brady like after he does the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl? Do you think Tom Brady's won and done
Speaker 1: as a broadcaster?
Speaker 6: I think that Tom Brady and I made this point
Speaker 6: last week. Tom Brady either has no self awareness whatsoever
Speaker 6: to realize the various landmines and conflicts of interest, and
Speaker 6: it's just a bad look him trying to do two
Speaker 6: jobs that do not Mesh and Miles Simmons of PFT
Speaker 6: put it best when this was all first percolating. He
Speaker 6: wants to be the best at everything he does. It's
Speaker 6: impossible to be the best possible broadcaster you can be
Speaker 6: and the best possible part owner of a team you
Speaker 6: can be. And he's either completely oblivious to that or
Speaker 6: he is hyper aware of the fact that he can
Speaker 6: do whatever the hell he wants, and he's gonna do
Speaker 6: whatever he wants to do. But I think at some
Speaker 6: point he's gonna REALI not being able to go to
Speaker 6: the games, not being involved with the team in the
Speaker 6: regular season as involved as he'd like to be, because
Speaker 6: he has another job that keeps him occupied on Sundays
Speaker 6: in other cities covering other games. I think at some
Speaker 6: point he's going to realize on his own that I
Speaker 6: shouldn't do both. I can't do both. I want the
Speaker 6: competitive juices. I want to be in the fray. I
Speaker 6: want to be with the Raiders full time. And I
Speaker 6: think that there are people in the league who are
Speaker 6: quietly hoping that's the way it goes.
Speaker 1: Will the Lions lose both their coordinators?
Speaker 6: Well, you know, Ben Johnson is only going to leave
Speaker 6: if he feels like it's the right opportunity. Alignment with
Speaker 6: the front office is one of his top factors, and
Speaker 6: he's learned from the mistakes of others. Where that window
Speaker 6: opens to be a head coach, you jump through it,
Speaker 6: and you land in a briar patch, and two three
Speaker 6: years later you're out of a job and you wish
Speaker 6: you hadn't left. And I also think, and I heard
Speaker 6: this this weekend, he'd much rather be the mad scientist
Speaker 6: who is designing all these different crazy trick plays and
Speaker 6: exploiting defensive weaknesses. Then the guy who's at the center
Speaker 6: of attention, the guy who gets all the pressure, the
Speaker 6: guy whose address gets posted online and people show up
Speaker 6: at his house, and Dan Campbell goes through a lot.
Speaker 6: Now he makes a lot more money, but four or
Speaker 6: five million a year for an offensive coordinator, that's not
Speaker 6: a bad life. And you get to do what you
Speaker 6: want to do and you don't have to do with
Speaker 6: all the hassles of being a head coach. And he
Speaker 6: seems to be just sensitive to the fact that life
Speaker 6: changes dramatically when you become a head coach. It's got
Speaker 6: to be the right spot. And I would not rule
Speaker 6: him out going back to Detroit and just waiting and
Speaker 6: waiting and waiting for the perfect opportunity.
Speaker 1: Talking to Mike Florio, Pro Football Talk Live co host
Speaker 1: also contributor to Football Night in America, we just played
Speaker 1: our weekly game of in or out. I'm sure you've
Speaker 1: heard of it. The first pick of the NFL Draft
Speaker 1: will not be a quarterback. Are you in or out?
Speaker 6: I'll say I'm out because if the Titans decide they
Speaker 6: want a quarterback, they'll take one, and if they don't,
Speaker 6: I think they should trade the pick to a team
Speaker 6: that really falls in love with one of these quarterbacks. Now,
Speaker 6: it's still early in the process and whatever teams have
Speaker 6: put together by way of preliminary draft boards. That goes
Speaker 6: out the window once the coaches aren't coaching anymore and
Speaker 6: they get involved in the scouting process and their opinions
Speaker 6: begin to skew things. So there's a lot of work
Speaker 6: still left to be done. But just from the standpoint
Speaker 6: of teams that need quarterbacks, you got teams that have
Speaker 6: franchise quarterbacks and teams that don't, and the teams that
Speaker 6: don't are trying to get one. And the Raiders are
Speaker 6: a team that could maybe trade up with the Titans.
Speaker 6: You know, there are teams out there that I think
Speaker 6: if it's not the Titans taking a quarterback, they'll trade
Speaker 6: the pick to a team that wants one, because the
Speaker 6: Titans could then parlay that into a bunch of other
Speaker 6: picks that could address other needs.
Speaker 1: If Jared Goff wins Super Bowl MVP, he's going to
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame? Are you in or out?
Speaker 6: I'd have to take close to look at his entire career.
Speaker 6: It would be his second Super Bowl appearance. You know,
Speaker 6: the Rams basically attaching a first round pick to get
Speaker 6: him off their books is not a good look. I
Speaker 6: don't know that it's enough to get to the Hall
Speaker 6: of Fame, but it puts him on track for something
Speaker 6: that three years ago we never would have dreamed possible,
Speaker 6: because I mean, this never gets described this way. But
Speaker 6: the Rams gave up an extra first round pick, They
Speaker 6: gave a one and a three for Stafford, and they
Speaker 6: attached the first round pick to Golf to get his contract.
Speaker 6: Oh wait, that's how how far he had fallen in
Speaker 6: the eyes of Sean McVay. And it might have been
Speaker 6: the best thing that ever happened to him because it
Speaker 6: sparked this resurgence where yeah, you know, I'd never thought
Speaker 6: of that, but I still think he'd have more work
Speaker 6: to do.
Speaker 1: Rank Final one, Aaron Rodgers will not be a player
Speaker 1: or a broadcaster slash analyst next season. Are you in around?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 6: I think if he retires, he won't be a broadcaster.
Speaker 6: He said he'll walk off into the but I also
Speaker 6: can't imagine him fading away from relevance and keeping his
Speaker 6: mouth shut. I am out on him not being a player, though.
Speaker 6: I think he'll find a spot next year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he will.
Speaker 6: I've been watching Pittsburgh. I think Pittsburgh makes a lot
Speaker 6: of sense. And Sims made a point today this got
Speaker 6: Chad Brinker that nobody heard of until yesterday, who somehow
Speaker 6: arrived in Tennessee two years ago and is now completely
Speaker 6: in charge of the operation. Nashville is a place where
Speaker 6: Rogers has a house. The Titans need a quarterback. Here's
Speaker 6: the key. Brinker was with the Packers from twenty ten
Speaker 6: through twenty twenty two in the front office. And we
Speaker 6: know how Rogers feels about the Green Bay front office,
Speaker 6: and he either loves Chad Brinker or he hates Chad Breker.
Speaker 6: There is no in between with Aaron Rodgers. So you
Speaker 6: may scratch Tennessee off the list right now if he
Speaker 6: doesn't like Chad Brinker. But I can see Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 6: and Mike Tomlin finding a way to join forces for
Speaker 6: one season, and man, that would be exciting.
Speaker 1: The MVP conversation is always fascinating. And you have a
Speaker 1: guy that if this was the Academy Awards, it's Josh
Speaker 1: Allen's turn, they would probably say whereas Lamar Jackson probably
Speaker 1: had his best performance. But you get voter fatigue, You
Speaker 1: get voters who go, yeah, but he doesn't do well
Speaker 1: in the like. People have their own criteria here. What
Speaker 1: do you think this comes down to as to why
Speaker 1: this quarterback will win the MVP.
Speaker 6: Well, and I said this the other day, trust your
Speaker 6: gut if you're a voter, because what we do as
Speaker 6: humans we find objective statistics and facts to support whatever
Speaker 6: it is our gut is telling us to do. Anyway,
Speaker 6: watch Josh Allen, watch Lamar Jackson. Look at the season
Speaker 6: Lamar Jackson had in comparison to the last year when
Speaker 6: he was the MVP. And I know that other guys
Speaker 6: had less seasons than that, and guys had better seasons
Speaker 6: than I get all that, but you had to trust
Speaker 6: your gut. Who is the MVP? And you know the
Speaker 6: problem with this award? And I say this is one
Speaker 6: of the voters fully cognizan in the fact that they
Speaker 6: may take the award away or they vote away. And
Speaker 6: if they do, I don't care. What the hell is
Speaker 6: an MVP, Like, what does it mean? I heard Chris
Speaker 6: Fowler talking about it during the game on Saturday. Most
Speaker 6: valuable to your team? Well, is that what it is?
Speaker 6: I mean, it's an age old debate in sports most
Speaker 6: valuable to If it's the most valuable player to the league,
Speaker 6: it's Patrick Mahomes every year until he retires because there
Speaker 6: is no one bringing value to the sport like him.
Speaker 6: So it's just a crazy thing. And I just tell
Speaker 6: people whatever your gut feeling is, go with it, because
Speaker 6: if you start coming up with objective justifications, all you
Speaker 6: doing is because we can find any stat to support
Speaker 6: whatever it is we want to do.
Speaker 1: Wow, but don't say that you don't want your vote.
Speaker 1: They can take it away.
Speaker 6: Oh well, let me tie something. I've spent about this week,
Speaker 6: and this is a busy week, and I know we're
Speaker 6: covering sports. I've had real jobs. Real jobs suck. I'm
Speaker 6: not complaining about my job, But to throw another ten
Speaker 6: hours of work between the all pro votes and the
Speaker 6: awards ballots on top of everything else, for the grand
Speaker 6: total salary of zero dollars and zero cents, you get
Speaker 6: to a point where you're like, you know what, I
Speaker 6: wouldn't be so upset if they took my vote away.
Speaker 1: I'll take your vote, okay, but I don't know if
Speaker 1: the commissioner will let me have it.
Speaker 6: Oh it's not that trust me. The commissioner has nothing
Speaker 6: to do with it. I would not if the commissioner,
Speaker 6: how did you have a vote?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't have a vote. He would vote against
Speaker 1: you getting a vote.
Speaker 6: He would he would blackball me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you can ship me your your MVP vote.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you Mike, Thank you Dan. That's Mike Florial.
Speaker 1: Happy New Year mine. You can see him on football
Speaker 1: Night in America. No, I had my mailman came by
Speaker 1: on Saturday. He goes, wait, am I in under the wire?
Speaker 1: Am I allowed to say Happy New Year? And I go, yeah,
Speaker 1: you can stay Happy New Year? But not Sunday. He goes,
Speaker 1: why not working Sunday? I said, well, definitely not Monday. No,
Speaker 1: Happy New Year. We're done with that. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: take a break when we come back. Oh, this is
Speaker 1: going to be epic preseason hot takes. We will bring
Speaker 1: back all of our hot takes. It's not going to
Speaker 1: be pretty for some of us back after this. Fox

Speaker 1: Coming up, we will replay our hot takes preseason hot
Speaker 1: Takes with the NFL. By the way, Justin Herbert at
Speaker 1: his press conference yesterday had an interesting conversation or discussion
Speaker 1: story and well, first of all, he's asked this question.
Speaker 1: I did not think that I was going to hear
Speaker 1: this answer.
Speaker 10: What was the first time maybe during the offseason workouts
Speaker 10: or stopping that Jim sat where you were? Like, this
Speaker 10: guy's definitely different.
Speaker 11: I think when he talked about remembering the day that
Speaker 11: he was born was probably the first day that the
Speaker 11: whole story and how you remember looking out the window,
Speaker 11: and I think it was a cold, snowy day, and
Speaker 11: I really hope he doesn't remember that. That'd be pretty cool.
Speaker 1: So Harball actually remembers the day he was born that
Speaker 1: he remembers looking out the window. You know, when you're successful,
Speaker 1: you're quirky. When you're not successful, you're crazy. Harbaugh is quirky.
Speaker 1: I don't remember, see. I think the first memory I
Speaker 1: would have would probably be clouded by the fact that
Speaker 1: I would see a home movie or maybe a picture.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if I have Todd, do you
Speaker 1: remember the first like, what's the first memory you have?
Speaker 12: I think the first memory I have was when there
Speaker 12: was family and friends over in my apartment growing up,
Speaker 12: and I decided it would be a good idea to
Speaker 12: take my diaper off and go number two in the
Speaker 12: kitchen as opposed to some other part of the house.
Speaker 12: I have a vivid recollection of that and being skulled
Speaker 12: it in. It coursed quite a scene.
Speaker 1: And you were like six, I was like nine, nine,
Speaker 1: and you took off your diaper.
Speaker 12: No it was I remember being diaper age. And I
Speaker 12: don't know if I was four or five whatever it was.
Speaker 1: But well, no, no, no, you're not diaper age.
Speaker 7: Whatever it is, I don't remember.
Speaker 4: I didn't you have kids.
Speaker 7: I don't remember the years. I don't remember that changed
Speaker 7: the couple.
Speaker 1: No you didn't.
Speaker 7: I guess two, three, whatever it is. Okay, do you remember.
Speaker 1: That seat and you remember your first memory?
Speaker 10: Well, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't really know if it is my first.
Speaker 3: The earliest memory I can probably think of is I
Speaker 3: remember once going with I think my dad to visit somebody.
Speaker 3: I remember their backyard and they're having these huge trees
Speaker 3: cut down, I think, And I remember, uh, we visited
Speaker 3: somebody very old. She might have been like a great
Speaker 3: grandmother or like someone like super super old though, and
Speaker 3: I was very very young, and I remember how everything smelled.
Speaker 1: Marvin.
Speaker 10: Probably first memory for me is seeing the Michael Jackson
Speaker 10: silhouette saying Michael Jackson's coming to Hartford and me just
Speaker 10: like going crazy, like MONI please take me there, and
Speaker 10: she took me to the circus instead, ready to call
Speaker 10: DCF owner.
Speaker 1: How old were you prob Like four? Okay, almost five, Paul.
Speaker 4: I think I remember my third birthday party, but like
Speaker 4: you said, it could be clouded by pictures. I remember steaking.
Speaker 4: My grandmother made me a cake. It looked like a
Speaker 4: Chucchu train, and I stuck into there and looked at it,
Speaker 4: and I remember what it looked like. I can remember
Speaker 4: where a standing and where the fridge was in this
Speaker 4: back room. I think I remember that.
Speaker 1: One of my first memories is so weird. It was
Speaker 1: on Easter. I don't know how old I was. I
Speaker 1: just remember that I didn't get much candy in my basket.
Speaker 1: My brothers may have you know, my older brothers may
Speaker 1: have taken it. And I got hard boiled eggs that
Speaker 1: were colored eggs. And I got the hard boiled eggs
Speaker 1: and I went into the back hallway leading out the
Speaker 1: back door, and I smashed all of the hard boiled
Speaker 1: eggs on the walls out there. So I might have
Speaker 1: been four. That didn't go over well with mom, because
Speaker 1: the next memory I had is she got a switch
Speaker 1: from the tree and spanked me. Switch was very, very
Speaker 1: underrated when it came to discipline. You either got the
Speaker 1: thin belt or you got the switch. You got to pick.
Speaker 1: I went switch, wrong move, but I was only four
Speaker 1: years old. Okay, Time to play hot takes preseason addition
Speaker 1: on the Dan Patrick Show, PAULI, you're gonna kind of
Speaker 1: give us the lay of the land here.
Speaker 4: Yes, So the day of the regular season, right before,
Speaker 4: we did two AFC and two NFC hot takes each
Speaker 4: h At the end of this we're going to play
Speaker 4: the game who was the most rightest? Who was the
Speaker 4: most wrongest? Okay, it's proper English. Let me start with Marvin.
Speaker 4: Do we have Marvin?
Speaker 10: Okay, Jeffrey Simmons of the Tennessee Titans will win Defensive
Speaker 10: Player of the Year. Okay, Okay, the New York Jets
Speaker 10: we'll go to the AFC Championship game.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, all right, anything else here's his NFC picks.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 10: Sam Darnold will make the Pro Bowl, all right, give
Speaker 10: me one more game over?
Speaker 1: Wow ye?
Speaker 10: And Raheem Moors will win NFL Coach of the Year.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, you're not gonna win it, but team
Speaker 1: won the division.
Speaker 3: So these are supposed to be hot takes, yes see right,
Speaker 3: these are hot takes, not predictions.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 3: So, actually Marvin, if it was a prediction game would
Speaker 3: have gotten it right. But he got it horribly wrong
Speaker 3: because it was a hot take, right or no, I'm
Speaker 3: not thinking of that the wrong way.
Speaker 4: We were trying to give the hottest preseason takes and
Speaker 4: if we stumble down to a true one that's the bonus,
Speaker 4: then it's still worked. Okay, got it, got it?
Speaker 1: Uh, Paulie, You're.
Speaker 4: Next Russell Wilson of the Steelers as opposed to yep,
Speaker 4: Russell Wilson will start a playoff game for the Steelers.
Speaker 4: Who Okay, My second hot take is Will Levis of
Speaker 4: the Titans, who win the most Improved Player in the
Speaker 4: League award if there is one, which I'm not sure
Speaker 4: there is. I think there used to be, but if
Speaker 4: there was, he will bonus take.
Speaker 1: You know what, He's going to be so improved they're
Speaker 1: going to create the award.
Speaker 4: Correct bonus take with Will Levis. He'll lead the AFC
Speaker 4: in touchdowns and interceptions.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's bad, kind of a Jamis Winston type season. Okay,
Speaker 1: do you have NFC Kyler.
Speaker 4: Murray Dan of the Cardinals to be specific, Kyler Murray.
Speaker 4: The Cardinals will start a playoff game one of the
Speaker 4: worst teams in football last year. Kyler Murray starts back. Okay,
Speaker 4: all right, this one you're gonna give me a little
Speaker 4: wiggle room with because this is going to extend into January. Feedwarre.
Speaker 4: The Dallas Cowboys will start twenty twenty five the offseason
Speaker 4: with no head coach and no quarterback under contract.
Speaker 1: Mm almost maybe uh Seaton O'Connor.
Speaker 4: Uh, let's see my NFC hot takes.
Speaker 3: The Dallas Cowboys will win Super Bowl fifty nine. Okay,
Speaker 3: once again are head to head that is, he got
Speaker 3: everybody getting fired. I have them winning time and for
Speaker 3: bonus picks, I have them beating the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 1: Okay, your MVP Joe Burrow Cowboys Bengals.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I have the Panthers will win the
Speaker 3: NFC South.
Speaker 1: Okay, how about the how about the Joe Joe Burrow MVP?
Speaker 4: Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 7: No, it's not.
Speaker 4: It's not that crazy, But everything else.
Speaker 1: And once again, this is supposed to be hot hot
Speaker 1: hot takes. Okay, how about the AFC, Joe Burrow.
Speaker 3: Will be your MVP and the Colts will make the playoffs. Oh,
Speaker 3: that wasn't too far off either. They were close. Yesh, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: they eliminated Week seventeen. I guess how about me? The
Speaker 3: Jets will go to the Super Bowl. Aaron Rodgers will
Speaker 3: win MVP.
Speaker 1: Whoa close? Okay?
Speaker 4: Is that over yet?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Are they officially eliminated? How about the NFC? I
Speaker 1: have the Falcons going to the NFC title game. That's crazy,
Speaker 1: thank you time they will face they will face the
Speaker 1: La Rams in the NFC title cald know where that happens.
Speaker 1: The Rams could be there. I think I had Joe
Speaker 1: Burrow MVP. Let's go to Todd Let's go NFC. Can
Speaker 1: I go NFC first? And then we'll go to his
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos.
Speaker 12: The New York Football Giants were six and eleven and
Speaker 12: twenty twenty three. They finished third in the division and
Speaker 12: thirteenth in the conference. Daniel Jones and the g Men
Speaker 12: will regress further, finishing no better than four to twelve
Speaker 12: and one as your tiebreaker last in the NFC East
Speaker 12: one of, if not the worst record in the conference,
Speaker 12: in the entire league, and they will desperately miss the
Speaker 12: services of Saquon Barkley.
Speaker 7: You rushed for nine hundred and sixty two yards with
Speaker 7: sixteenth It.
Speaker 1: Could be a round of applause for that. Yeah, now
Speaker 1: that one more NFC.
Speaker 12: These last season he missed a couple of games, But
Speaker 12: staying with the Saquon Barkley theme, I say he will
Speaker 12: run for at least fifteen hundred yards and at least
Speaker 12: ten touchdowns this season as a member of the Philadelphia Eason.
Speaker 1: Okay, about one, and another round of applause for Fritzy Well,
Speaker 1: prognosticator of prognosticators. Yeah, you're you put the pro in
Speaker 1: Prognostia Gator. All right, Towny Todd AFC predictions.
Speaker 12: Perhaps it's wishful thinking on my part, but bow Knicks,
Speaker 12: who wears number ten, leads the Broncos to ten wins
Speaker 12: as Denver participates.
Speaker 7: In a roade wild parkyn.
Speaker 12: Okay, after a bad Week five loss at home to
Speaker 12: the Cowboys, Mike Tomlin benches Russell Wilson for justin fields
Speaker 12: that specific day.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, that kind of happened you did great? Yeah,
Speaker 1: well done.
Speaker 4: That was pretty crazy. Yes, who was the most rightest?
Speaker 4: Todd over Marvin with Sam Darnold.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean Todd had the Broncos with ten wins,
Speaker 1: bo Nicks number ten and they have a road playoff
Speaker 1: game and Saquon Barkley over fifteen hundred yards and the
Speaker 1: Giants would be maybe one of his services. Yes, worst
Speaker 1: teams in the NFC.
Speaker 4: I'd like the volunt tier for most wrongest with my
Speaker 4: Will Levis take. As they now have the number one
Speaker 4: pick of the draft. It's hard to get wronger than that.
Speaker 3: Well, the Jets going to the Super Bowl. Well, the
Speaker 3: Cowboys beating the Bengals in the Super Bowl. Okay, I
Speaker 3: got both teams not even in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty terrible. Those those are your preseason hot
Speaker 1: textcha relations Let me see Curtis in Illinois. Hi, Curtis,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the program.
Speaker 13: MOREP Just kind a quick question for you yesterday you
Speaker 13: mentioned it and then again today about the Packers' odds
Speaker 13: of beating Philly going down tremendously because.
Speaker 1: Watson being out.
Speaker 14: But looking at the Packer stats and just watching him
Speaker 14: this year, he's sixth and receiving and only has two touchdowns.
Speaker 14: I don't know if you're getting any other inside pormation
Speaker 14: or you just like a gut feeling that you got
Speaker 14: on why that's going to be as big of a deal.
Speaker 1: You know what it was, Curtis, It felt like just
Speaker 1: such a bummer like it like the you could see
Speaker 1: when the Packers reacted to it. So I think it was.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's one of those statistically as much
Speaker 1: as it is that guy went healthy is a great,
Speaker 1: great contributor to that team and having a deep threat.
Speaker 1: You got a young secondary in Philadelphia. Now they played well,
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, I just it was more of that
Speaker 1: we lost the like when Dre Greenlaw got injured in
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. It is either best linebacker, no, but
Speaker 1: when he got injured, you could almost see like oh
Speaker 1: my god, and it kind of felt like it stayed
Speaker 1: there with them. Now, if this is October, it's different,
Speaker 1: but it just happened, and I think because of that,
Speaker 1: I thought that's one of those that kind of stays
Speaker 1: with you. Roco in Florida, Hi, Rocko, what's on your mind?
Speaker 5: Dan dan Etz? How were doing this morning?
Speaker 1: Great?
Speaker 6: All right?
Speaker 5: Awesome? So, first of all five nine, thank you, and
Speaker 5: then I just want to tap based on the Lamar Jacks.
Speaker 5: And I know it's like beat to death with everyone,
Speaker 5: but do you think that it's also a criticism on him.
Speaker 5: That's why I r himself hard on him because he
Speaker 5: has such an established coach, like that's been there, that's
Speaker 5: been in the playoffs. It's like the play calling everything
Speaker 5: to where they just put everything on him. They're like, oh, well,
Speaker 5: everything's there, so you should just be able to do
Speaker 5: it well.
Speaker 1: I think Lamar is the one who gets beat up
Speaker 1: more than John Harball does. Now this is this is
Speaker 1: on the coach too, but I think we hold Lamar
Speaker 1: accountable for everything that happens with the Ravens, and that's
Speaker 1: not fair to him. And it is a regular season award.
Speaker 1: I know that we love to see what you're going
Speaker 1: to do in the postseason. We expect you to do
Speaker 1: things in the postseason. No, Aaron Rodgers wasn't great the postseason.
Speaker 1: He had four MVPs. Peyton Manning was he five hundred
Speaker 1: the postseason. So you know we do attach something extra
Speaker 1: to that, whether it's fair or not. But that's the position.
Speaker 1: You give more credit and you give more blame. That's it.
Speaker 1: It goes along with the territory. Well, take a break,
Speaker 1: last call for phone calls, what we learn, what's in
Speaker 1: store tomorrow, this day in sports history. After this, be
Speaker 1: sure to catch the live edition of The Dan Patrick

Speaker 1: We did have who has the most points to fewest
Speaker 1: assist in NBA history?
Speaker 4: And now this is the reverse, Dan okay, the player
Speaker 4: who had the most assists in his career averaged per
Speaker 4: game and the fewest points scored.
Speaker 1: Okay, Now was Moses Malone, the one who had the
Speaker 1: most points with the fewest assists. Yes, in NBA history. Okay,
Speaker 1: this player has the most assist to fewest points.
Speaker 4: On this list are a bunch of guys from the past.
Speaker 4: They're all from the past twenty years.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, Oh that's it.
Speaker 4: No other hints, mostly guards, all from the past twenty years.
Speaker 1: Points. To assist Marvin.
Speaker 4: They had to average at least seven assists per game.
Speaker 1: Okay, Marvin.
Speaker 10: Andre Miller.
Speaker 1: Wow dang no wow back row interested in joining us
Speaker 1: on this and he guesses.
Speaker 4: Sedale three not in the past twenty years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, I don't think he's I don't think he
Speaker 1: played enough.
Speaker 7: I was gonna say Russell Westbrook, but he's scored a
Speaker 7: lot of points.
Speaker 4: Yes he did, Russell Adil Russell is twelfth because assists,
Speaker 4: his assists are high and is scoring while high career averages. There,
Speaker 4: so he's twelfth all time.
Speaker 1: Okay, Eric Snow, I like the ingenuity. Okay, so this
Speaker 1: guy had a lot of assists, but not necessarily a lot.
Speaker 4: Of uh Rondo raj raj Rondo. He was an all
Speaker 4: assist guy. That is overwhelmingly correct. Rondo eight assists per game,
Speaker 4: only nine points per game?
Speaker 1: And where's he on the list? Number one? Let's go
Speaker 1: look at that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, out of nowhere, back row.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the top.
Speaker 7: Row preseason prediction. That's what you get.

Speaker 1: get married?
Speaker 7: Oh? Yeah? Married?

Speaker 1: I don't know. I think he was like, you guys
Speaker 1: don't call, so I'm gonna be on rich eisend show.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he thinks we're big timing him. I think.
Speaker 4: After football season we'll have back on a four.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I will now give me Wendy,
Speaker 1: I'll take Wendy.
Speaker 4: Mannix is married, though.
Speaker 1: Yeah he married a boxer.
Speaker 4: I would have had what's the name DiCaprio get married
Speaker 4: before Mannix.
Speaker 7: Yes, he's a knockout boxing.
Speaker 1: I'll give you credits the end of the show. The
Speaker 1: end of the show. You wore me down? You do
Speaker 1: you wear me down during the course.
Speaker 7: Only obvious boxers?
Speaker 1: Yeah, how about that.
Speaker 3: Man that hit me in the exact right spot in
Speaker 3: the Gazillas.
Speaker 1: This day in sports, we lost Seaton for the day
Speaker 1: in sports.
Speaker 4: I can't believe he actually said.
Speaker 7: It was so easy. But why did I say that.
Speaker 7: Everyone was thinking that's what how to say it?
Speaker 1: So good? I wasn't thinking it.
Speaker 7: That's you were No, this sounds like right there on
Speaker 7: the table. Am I not going to say it?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 4: This day in sports history in nineteen seventy seven, for
Speaker 4: the first time, the cover of TV Guide was the
Speaker 4: Super Bowl, and then nineteen oh one in Chicago, Illinois,
Speaker 4: the first tournament sanctioned by the American Bowling Congress. No,
Speaker 4: that's a kind of politician I would.
Speaker 7: Like to be.
Speaker 1: Yeah bowler, that's it. Yeah.
Speaker 8: Oh.
Speaker 1: On this day in twenty twelve, Todd.
Speaker 7: Oh, I think I know where you're going with that.
Speaker 1: Where am I going going?
Speaker 7: Tim Tebow to Jamarius Tom say good night?
Speaker 1: Pitch in the wild card? Heck yeah, eighty yard touchdown. Now,
Speaker 1: that's the first scrimmage play of overtime. It wasn't an
Speaker 1: eighty yard pass. I think it was a ten yard
Speaker 1: pass and a seventy yard run of the running on
Speaker 1: that also the Music City Miracle. This day in two thousand,
Speaker 1: Titans rally to beat the Bills. Frank Wycheck Kevin Dyson
Speaker 1: seventy five yards game winning touchdown. Final results of the
Speaker 1: poll question Seaton.
Speaker 4: Let's see, we'll go back to the original poll.
Speaker 3: Which head coachless team feels furthest from the Super Bowl?
Speaker 7: Right now?
Speaker 3: The j E T s Jets, Jest Jets running away
Speaker 3: with that one, followed by the Raiders and Saints.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kent in Michigan, Hi, Kent, what's on your mill?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 15: Dan? You are on FaceTime? Is for grandkids?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 15: Hund p my question. And I was gonna let it
Speaker 15: go earlier, but Chase Daniel brought it back up the
Speaker 15: whole idea when he alluded to the idea of being
Speaker 15: a team three times in the season.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 15: And I saw an article and it goes back to
Speaker 15: your choice. And I completely understand kicking Kevin O'Connell over
Speaker 15: Dan Campbell for coach of the Year. But if the
Speaker 15: Lions beat in ten days, if they beat Minnesota for
Speaker 15: the third time in ten days, does that change your mind?
Speaker 1: No, this is regular season. I expected Detroit to be great.
Speaker 1: I picked him the win to Super Bowl. I didn't
Speaker 1: think the Vikings were going to make the playoffs. I
Speaker 1: thought the Bears were going to make the playoffs. So
Speaker 1: I think because we didn't have high expectations, that's how
Speaker 1: you win the award. Usually the best coach on the
Speaker 1: best team doesn't win. It's always Wow, that's a big surprise.
Speaker 1: Didn't see that coming. Let's go around the room. What
Speaker 1: we learned on the program once again. Brady Quinn will
Speaker 1: be with us and Greg McElroy gets you ready for
Speaker 1: the college football playoffs. Todd, what did you learn today?
Speaker 12: Mike Florio can see Aaron Rodgers joining forces with Mike
Speaker 12: Tomlin and Pittsburgh next season.
Speaker 7: That's interesting.
Speaker 1: Yep, you know that's out there. That's been out there,
Speaker 1: which is kind of weird, but it's out there. Seaton,
Speaker 1: what did you learn today?
Speaker 4: All this time, I've been sitting next to Punk Satati Fritz.
Speaker 1: No predictions, no STIs Marvin, how about you?
Speaker 10: Le Batar loves the FaceTime you shirt?
Speaker 1: He does he? You know him and his wife. He's
