Speaker 3: It's the Dan Patrick Show here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3: Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox in for Dan and the Dan Nants.
Speaker 5: Here.
Speaker 3: By the way, LeVar Arrington normally does this show with us.
Speaker 3: He is not here normally when somebody is missing from
Speaker 3: our show that we do with you here before the
Speaker 3: Dan Patrick Show, which is six am Eastern time, three
Speaker 3: o'clock Pacific. Whenever they're out, we just blame it on
Speaker 3: a peed suspension because that's always fun for the family.
Speaker 3: You know, think that you're listening and like, you know,
Speaker 3: somebody got popped because they pissed hot. That's always fun.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what it is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But no, no LeVar Arrington with us here. But
Speaker 3: you can hear the three of us back tomorrow morning
Speaker 3: six am Eastern time, three o'clock Pacific. But we are
Speaker 3: in for Dan and the guys here on this football
Speaker 3: recap Monday here on Fox Sports Radio. And you know,
Speaker 3: one of the big stories in the NFL is the
Speaker 3: resurgence of the running back this year feels like the
Speaker 3: running back is back in style. You know all those
Speaker 3: teams that were like, no, no, we don't need him,
Speaker 3: we don't need that. And the guy who reigned supreme
Speaker 3: over all of them is Saquon Barkley, who surpassed two
Speaker 3: thousand yards yesterday in the Eagles win yesterday in Philadelphia
Speaker 3: over the Dallas Cowboys. And so Saquon Barkley is sitting
Speaker 3: with an opportunity to potentially break the all time record.
Speaker 3: Eric Dickerson has the record at twenty one oh five.
Speaker 3: Saquon Barkley is sitting there at two thousand and five,
Speaker 3: so he needs one hundred and one yards to try
Speaker 3: and break the record of Eric Dickerson. That is the
Speaker 3: all time mark. Eric Dickerson has gone on record and
Speaker 3: said he does not want Saquon Barkley to break his record.
Speaker 3: He has let it be known I don't want him
Speaker 3: breaking this record, But Saquon Barkley spoke about the opportunity
Speaker 3: to do so in a game coming up next week
Speaker 3: next week, which apparently does not mean anything. Carently for
Speaker 3: the Philadelphia Eagles, it does not mean anything. So Saquon
Speaker 3: Barkley was talking with the media yesterday following that game.
Speaker 3: He was waxing poetic about loving Philadelphia and loves right
Speaker 3: doing everything I possibly can to vamp away here on
Speaker 3: this football recap Monday, and it was quite the scene
Speaker 3: there in Philly post game with Saquon Barkley talking about
Speaker 3: the opportunity.
Speaker 6: I'm not overly trying to go get it. I'm not
Speaker 6: scared of it like I would love to. But at
Speaker 6: the end of the day, you know, also we got
Speaker 6: bigger things that were focusing on and we're able to
Speaker 6: clinch the clinch the division right here, whether it's we
Speaker 6: played next week or not. In rest, I'm fine with
Speaker 6: that too, because I didn't come here and sign here
Speaker 6: just to frush for two thousand or break a record.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna do something special, meaning special with the team.
Speaker 3: All right, So is it worth the risk to send
Speaker 3: him out there?
Speaker 5: No chance? Really, it would be one thing if it
Speaker 5: was like tens twenty yards, one hundred yards. I mean again,
Speaker 5: I know he's had an incredible season. He's what the
Speaker 5: ninth running back in NFL history to do. Is that
Speaker 5: we said, yeah, I mean, it's unbelievable, And it makes
Speaker 5: it even more unbelievable that we saw how it went down,
Speaker 5: like we saw how he left the New York Giants
Speaker 5: and made it to the Philadelphia Egals behind the scenes
Speaker 5: thanks to hard knocks and it being the last thing
Speaker 5: that John Mayer wanted to see happen, and yet it
Speaker 5: happened and he comes off and has a career year
Speaker 5: in Philadelphia. So kudos to Sakuan. You wonder how much
Speaker 5: more pressure that puts on the New York Giants ownership,
Speaker 5: on Joe Shaye and the general manager there in New
Speaker 5: York and how they view just how the season went
Speaker 5: wrong for the Giants. But I digress, I would not
Speaker 5: risk it. I mean, the tough thing about where they're
Speaker 5: at saying number two being locked into that seat is
Speaker 5: you're going to be probably playing with the Packers if
Speaker 5: all things stay the same way. Right now heading into
Speaker 5: the playoff pictures, the Packers currently have the seven seeds,
Speaker 5: so that's a tough matchup, man, And I know, you
Speaker 5: know the Packers have to go to Philly, but you
Speaker 5: don't want to risk the potential of the guy who's
Speaker 5: been the most consistent piece of your offense this season
Speaker 5: to not be you know, not one hundred percent healthy,
Speaker 5: but at least as healthy as he possibly can be.
Speaker 5: And mind you the quarterback situation there, you know, we
Speaker 5: find out after Kenny Pickett leaves the game, but we
Speaker 5: knew going into it. He didn't really disclose what it was,
Speaker 5: but we knew was some sort of rib injury. And
Speaker 5: now he finds out he's playing with broken ribs. So
Speaker 5: then Tanner McKee has to come in, and it's it's
Speaker 5: expected that Hurts come back, probably not for a meaningless game,
Speaker 5: So we'll pick it be able to make it a go.
Speaker 5: If not, it's gonna be a combination of Tanner McKee
Speaker 5: and maybe Ian Book my notre name buddy who they
Speaker 5: just signed onto the practice squad. So look, again, a
Speaker 5: meaningless game. However, the only thing that would matter would
Speaker 5: be if he could break that record, And you know,
Speaker 5: could he in a normal game scenario. Sure, but I
Speaker 5: justly I think I don't think it's worth the risk.
Speaker 5: I really don't. I mean, the question becomes if Saquon
Speaker 5: Barkley goes up to Nick Sirianni. So let's say you're
Speaker 5: Nick Sirianni in this case, and I'm Saquon and I say,
Speaker 5: your coach, I want to go get that record? What
Speaker 5: are you gonna say in return?
Speaker 3: Why do you have him? Sounded like that? By the way,
Speaker 3: what do you mean? That just seemed like, you know,
Speaker 3: I didn't know that was your Saquon impression? Yeah, I
Speaker 3: mean I don't know something like that. You go, Where's
Speaker 3: I mean? Nay?
Speaker 5: Let me see? Hold on, why do a Sirianni sound
Speaker 5: like that? What do you get in that?
Speaker 1: What do you.
Speaker 5: He's not running a pizzeria.
Speaker 3: People are all the same, man. Look, I think that
Speaker 3: Barkley had an opportunity to stay in a game. There
Speaker 3: was some I don't know if he was trying to
Speaker 3: go for two hundred yards or he was trying to
Speaker 3: there was some record that was on the line or
Speaker 3: some milestone that was on the line earlier this year,
Speaker 3: and he was miked up for it, and Siriani came
Speaker 3: over to him and gave him the chance, like, do
Speaker 3: you want to go in? I'm giving you the opportunity here,
Speaker 3: and Saquon Barkley said no, let the other guys get
Speaker 3: some burn. And I feel like Siriani's probably going to
Speaker 3: approach him and give him the opportunity. I'm just not
Speaker 3: convinced that that Saquon goes through with it, even though
Speaker 3: it's against the Giants, which would be really an appropriate
Speaker 3: conclusion to all this. I just don't know that he
Speaker 3: that he signs up for that, you know. I feel
Speaker 3: like there's there's a chance for them to get some
Speaker 3: rest and to be healthier as they open up the playoffs.
Speaker 3: But it would be fun to watch man. And and
Speaker 3: by the way, the more that you hear Saquon Barkley talk,
Speaker 3: the more that you see him perform, the more insane.
Speaker 3: The decision was by the Giants to not retain him
Speaker 3: just blows mind. Not that he would do this in
Speaker 3: New York to this level, but that he didn't want
Speaker 3: to leave. No, they had every opportunity and they just
Speaker 3: flew it.
Speaker 5: And the truth is, if the Giants could, you know,
Speaker 5: go back in time, they would have signed Saquon to
Speaker 5: the long term deal, they would have franchised tag Jones,
Speaker 5: and they wouldn't be in the situation. But the one
Speaker 5: thing you can say, at least as far as how
Speaker 5: the Giants viewed the situation in the offseason was they
Speaker 5: understood they were losing the identity of their offense if
Speaker 5: they moved on from him, and they acknowledged the fact
Speaker 5: that we're paying Daniel Jones forty million, so eventually he's
Speaker 5: got to step in and he has to be that
Speaker 5: high side that raises all the boats. So it's not
Speaker 5: like they it's not like they were confused with the
Speaker 5: decision that they were making. They knew the decision they
Speaker 5: were making. Unfortunately, they didn't understand what the market really
Speaker 5: looked like because they didn't want him to go to
Speaker 5: a divisional opponent. Here it is, and then obviously they
Speaker 5: were betting on him not having the season that he's
Speaker 5: had for Philly. So I mean, look, even if he
Speaker 5: was back with the New York Giants, I'm not sure
Speaker 5: that offensive line would have helped him get to over
Speaker 5: two thousand yards. But the one thing I'll say this
Speaker 5: is there is no bigger fan rooting against Saquon Barkley
Speaker 5: playing Week eighteen than Eric Dickerson. I mean, he's been
Speaker 5: pretty outward utardly speaking about the fact that he doesn't
Speaker 5: want his record to be broken. Lee, do we have
Speaker 5: the sound of Eric Dickerson.
Speaker 3: Okay, so you're happy for him, but you've already said
Speaker 3: you don't hope that he breaks your record.
Speaker 4: You got to tell me why that.
Speaker 7: Well, I mean, it's just common sense. I'm not saying
Speaker 7: for you, but I'm just saying people like say records
Speaker 7: are meant to be broken. I'm like, well, you don't
Speaker 7: have a record, then, I mean, a did it come
Speaker 7: down to?
Speaker 5: I mean, by the way, that was Maria Taylor on
Speaker 5: NBC Sports last night talking Eric Dickerson about it, which
Speaker 5: I understand Eric Dickerson's point, but there also is an
Speaker 5: element of like, records are kind of made to be broken.
Speaker 5: And you did have the record at one point, but
Speaker 5: you should want kind of like your kids, the next generation,
Speaker 5: you should want them to have it better than you
Speaker 5: had at LEAs that's my perspective. Like I've said this,
Speaker 5: and I do think it will eventually happen, Like someone
Speaker 5: will eventually, you know, beat all my records at under Name,
Speaker 5: for all the passing records, And when that time comes,
Speaker 5: when it happens, I'll be happy for that guy like that.
Speaker 5: That's a good thing. Like I can't imagine happening during
Speaker 5: a bad season, Like it's probably a really really good
Speaker 5: season for Notre Name, if that's what's happening out there
Speaker 5: on the field now.
Speaker 3: Is this any different than you know, Mercury Morris when
Speaker 3: they would open up champagne every time a team lost,
Speaker 3: and these seven.
Speaker 5: Times they still do that. Didn't that happen this year
Speaker 5: she lost?
Speaker 3: You know, probably there's probably still a few of those
Speaker 3: guys that are that are out there celebrating that. But
Speaker 3: it would be good for Eric Dickerson. He wants to
Speaker 3: hold on to it as long as possible. Why not,
Speaker 3: you know, like why not why not hold on to
Speaker 3: that that claim as long as you can?
Speaker 5: I appreciate the honesty. I mean, it'd be one thing
Speaker 5: to say the right things, but behind the scenes like
Speaker 5: actively have like a voodoo doll and word against him.
Speaker 5: At least he's open and honest about it.
Speaker 3: So and by the way, like you of all people
Speaker 3: talking about you know, you should want you know, good
Speaker 3: for other people. Like, let me tell you something, when
Speaker 3: your son gets older. When your son gets older, are
Speaker 3: you going to let him win anything? Really, you're going
Speaker 3: to let him have anything? Like, hey, I'll let you
Speaker 3: have this record, Like if you guys are playing horse,
Speaker 3: are you even going to let him get a letter
Speaker 3: on you? Probably not?
Speaker 5: Probably not. Yeah, But that's different, you know, that's that's
Speaker 5: your son. This is a this is a little different.
Speaker 5: This is not your child where you're trying to prepare
Speaker 5: them for the real world where no one's going to
Speaker 5: want to see them succeed. All right, So it's a
Speaker 5: it's a little different that sense. But obnoly thought you
Speaker 5: were going to take a turn down the whole, like
Speaker 5: not rooting for you and your your sports gambling go
Speaker 5: back to that. Well, but I'm glad you didn't.
Speaker 3: Well I was going to say this, I did blow
Speaker 3: and eight nothing lead in air hockey yesterday to my son.
Speaker 3: So not that I can that I can judge, but
Speaker 3: I lost.
Speaker 5: A game of Tic Tac tooe to my year old.
Speaker 5: I was playing my a and six year old at
Speaker 5: lunch the other day at the same time, and I
Speaker 5: just got a little bit distracted. But I lost when
Speaker 5: I was like, dang, I mean most of them I
Speaker 5: let them start, so I'm to be a cat's game.
Speaker 5: They're like, they're good enough to that extent, but then
Speaker 5: there was one where I was like, ah, that just
Speaker 5: rushed that decision a little bit too much. But she
Speaker 5: was excited about it. So it's a confidence just do.
Speaker 3: What I do. Like whenever, like I'm in the middle
Speaker 3: of playing a game with him, I'll just say, look,
Speaker 3: Santa Claus, and then I'll either like swipe a piece
Speaker 3: or draw something in and then you know, next thing,
Speaker 3: you know, he's distracted. He doesn't know what hit him. Man,
Speaker 3: if you can't get one over on a three year old,
Speaker 3: you're doing something wrong in life. That's my philosophy, all right.
Speaker 3: So the Philadelphia Eagles, congratulations, They've got nothing to play for.
Speaker 3: By the way, I should mention this congratulations to the
Speaker 3: La Rams who by way of and this is not
Speaker 3: used a lot. The strength of schedule stuff really threw
Speaker 3: everybody for a loop because they're like, why would the
Speaker 3: Commanders beating the Falcons have anything to do with the
Speaker 3: Rams winning of the division. But it was the strength
Speaker 3: of schedule that it was based off of. And apparently
Speaker 3: it's only been done like four times in like the
Speaker 3: last fourteen years where they've had to go down this road.
Speaker 3: But I'll say this, less Need was sort of labeled
Speaker 3: as well. He's just one of those guys. It just
Speaker 3: trades away to acquire top talent. He doesn't care about
Speaker 3: draft picks, dude. They've quietly produced solid drafts over the
Speaker 3: past couple of years. With all of these newfound picks
Speaker 3: that they've got, They've won the division again. They've got
Speaker 3: two defensive players up for Defensive Rookie of the Year
Speaker 3: right now, in contention for both in Verse and Fisk
Speaker 3: Pooka and Nakua Cooper Cup Matt Stafford like, they better
Speaker 3: hope they don't draw Green Bay in the first round.
Speaker 3: I think that would not be an ideal matchup for
Speaker 3: the LA Rams. But you got to give credit for
Speaker 3: less Need. Sean McVay and then because they were banged
Speaker 3: up earlier this year, at what point the Rams lost
Speaker 3: to the Bears. That's how bleak things looked early in
Speaker 3: the season. And here they are winning the NFC West.
Speaker 3: So congratulations of those guys here. I don't know if
Speaker 3: they do I don't know if they make a deep
Speaker 3: run in the postseason, but you know, at least they're
Speaker 3: going to be hosting a playoff game at your favorite place,
Speaker 3: Sofi Stadium.
Speaker 5: So you've given Lessened a lot of credit. But can
Speaker 5: you give Sean McVay a credit. It seems like he's
Speaker 5: able to get that group playing together, especially a young
Speaker 5: group of players. Granted, he's got the piece of Matt Stafford,
Speaker 5: but I think after Aaron Donald retired, we thought, all right,
Speaker 5: they're gonna take a step back. You know, Rahie Morris
Speaker 5: moves on. There's all these different changes too on the staff.
Speaker 5: Other guys have moved on, and yet he's still been
Speaker 5: able to remain competitive. They've been able to find a
Speaker 5: way of winning the NFC West. It truly is remarkable.
Speaker 5: I think when you look at that Shanahan tree of coaches,
Speaker 5: and it's one of the reasons why if you look
Speaker 5: at this this hiring cycle, there's going to be someone
Speaker 5: who's hired that's connected back to Mike Shanahan, the Kyle Shannan,
Speaker 5: the whole family tree. And even more crazy when you
Speaker 5: look at the success now of Washington and getting a
Speaker 5: playoff berth with last night's victory, you go back to
Speaker 5: that staff when Kyle Shanahan was the OC and Mike
Speaker 5: Shanahan was that Like, you go back to that staff
Speaker 5: and look at all the guys that are now head
Speaker 5: coach in the NFL. It's crazy to think that it
Speaker 5: didn't work and that they weren't more successful. It's crazy.
Speaker 3: Does that speak to the uh, maybe the organization they
Speaker 3: were they were a part of.
Speaker 5: I mean it's obviously a different organization now, but it
Speaker 5: speaks to a lot of the bad organizations. It's really hard,
Speaker 5: and I think for a lot of people out there
Speaker 5: who work in a corporate environment, you know, especially if
Speaker 5: you've been somewhere else before, you know what it's like
Speaker 5: when things are toxic, when things it's going to be
Speaker 5: hard and you're working against yourself instead of working against
Speaker 5: your competition, and how hard that is to overcome. And
Speaker 5: to me, like, the more I moved around the NFL.
Speaker 5: It became easy to see the difference in the better organizations.
Speaker 5: It was easy to see why the Seattle Seahawks in
Speaker 5: twenty thirteen miles there ended up moving on to go
Speaker 5: win the Super Bowl. It's easy to see those things.
Speaker 5: It's easy to see why a team or organization like
Speaker 5: the Kansas City Chiefs can fix a problem diagnosed and
Speaker 5: get better Denver Brocks fix a problem diagnosed, get better,
Speaker 5: Like It's easy to see that from those organizations because
Speaker 5: of how the ownership runs it and the standard that
Speaker 5: they set, and when they do have one of those
Speaker 5: years where it's not good enough, they find ways of
Speaker 5: fixing it fast. So I just I think that's become
Speaker 5: like not to go back to the initial conversation we
Speaker 5: had about this past weekend of games, because there's only
Speaker 5: a handful that were really competitive, depending on how you
Speaker 5: define that. But that's what's become most apparent right now.
Speaker 5: I think in the NFL that probably a lot of
Speaker 5: people on the outside aren't talking about is the league
Speaker 5: lacks parody, and it's literally set up to create parody.
Speaker 5: Like we're talking about bad football teams jocking for the
Speaker 5: number one overall pick to find a quarterback. Okay, what
Speaker 5: about the teams that aren't able to get to that
Speaker 5: number one spot. What about the teams that maybe have
Speaker 5: to settle for a guy that they don't feel like
Speaker 5: as their number one quarterback or they're gonna have to
Speaker 5: go a different position. Like I think of the Las
Speaker 5: Vegas Raiders and I look at the fact that they
Speaker 5: need a quarterback again. We thought they did going in
Speaker 5: the season last year, and then they draft a guy
Speaker 5: who was finalmenal this year. If not for Jayden Daniels
Speaker 5: and bow Knicks, the way they look this year, you'd
Speaker 5: probably would have given the Offensive Rookie of the Year
Speaker 5: to Brock Powers, you know, beat Poka Nukua's rookie reception number.
Speaker 5: He's had more reception than his rookie season than any
Speaker 5: tight end in NFL history. He's been phenomenal. But he's
Speaker 5: on a team that struggled, and they still have to
Speaker 5: answer that question at quarterback this year, and they're not
Speaker 5: really in a position unless they want to trade up
Speaker 5: and give away, you know, the rest of their future
Speaker 5: to go find one or make a play for a
Speaker 5: veteran that's not working there. Maybe it can work somewhere else.
Speaker 5: And there's a lot of questions there, but you get
Speaker 5: my point. Like you find the teams that are well run,
Speaker 5: they seem to always like we call it luck, like, oh,
Speaker 5: they lucked out in the Jordan Love and Green Bay. No, not,
Speaker 5: just a really good organization. And you can go time
Speaker 5: and time again and look at the Baltimore Ravens other
Speaker 5: transition from Joe Flack to Lamar Jackson. Oh, that's gonna
Speaker 5: be a hard transition. No, they're just a really good organization.
Speaker 5: Like I trust that Ozzie knew something back then. Now
Speaker 5: you look at the change in the front office and
Speaker 5: with Eric Tacosta, they will find a way of building
Speaker 5: that team to allow Lamar Jackson to be an MVP,
Speaker 5: to allow Lamar Jacks to be a perennial pro bowler,
Speaker 5: a guy who's gonna get his team to the playoffs.
Speaker 5: Will this would be the year they win a Super Bowl.
Speaker 5: We'll see, maybe they get over the hump. But they
Speaker 5: are always a part of that mix because of the ownership,
Speaker 5: because of the organization. And right now, I think there's
Speaker 5: a lot of bad organizations in the NFL that if
Speaker 5: you really look, you don't have to look that hard
Speaker 5: but if you really look at it, they're just non
Speaker 5: competitive football teams.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 3: One thing you say about the rookies and Rock Bauers
Speaker 3: and he's been fantastic. But there's been some really good
Speaker 3: rookie performances this year, like Brian Thomas Junior. The Jaguars,
Speaker 3: you know, have struggled this year, but he's had a
Speaker 3: great year. Malik Neighbors has been awesome for the New
Speaker 3: York Giants, even in the midst of all their chaos
Speaker 3: everything that's going on. Lad mcconkee, like, remember when the
Speaker 3: thought was you moved on from Keenan Allen. Are the
Speaker 3: Chargers going to be able to find production and the
Speaker 3: wide receiver position? Lad McConkie's been great. It feels like
Speaker 3: there's been under the radar some really really good performances
Speaker 3: that seem like good pieces and good building blocks for
Speaker 3: some of these organizations, like whoever the quarterback is, whoever
Speaker 3: the coaches, if Jacksonville makes a change there, like it
Speaker 3: feels like they've got some nice pieces there that they
Speaker 3: can work with. So it is The Dan Patrick Show

Speaker 3: Coming up in about twenty minutes from now, We're going
Speaker 3: to bring you something that we do on our show
Speaker 3: Monday through Friday, six am Eastern time, three o'clock Pacific.
Speaker 3: It's called Lee's Leftovers, and I've been told that this
Speaker 3: is one of the most important Lee's Leftovers with some
Speaker 3: of the greatest content that ever been done, and that
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know. That's just why would this
Speaker 3: show be the one that Lee brings out all the stops?
Speaker 1: Lee in that right?
Speaker 3: Where are you telling me that during the break? That
Speaker 3: is what I say. Yes has advertising, So the pressure's on,
Speaker 3: and no doubt Lee's going to deliver the goods coming
Speaker 3: up here in like twenty minutes from now. So I
Speaker 3: can already tell you. I guarantee we're going to hear
Speaker 3: something about his fantasy team. I can already tell you
Speaker 3: that's gonna happen. That'll be that'll be the Keys over. No,
Speaker 3: this is the this is the final week, but final week, okay.
Speaker 3: What's interesting is that the Monday night game later on tonight,
Speaker 3: the Lions and the forty nine ers, it doesn't really
Speaker 3: mean anything to Detroit because next week's game against Minnesota
Speaker 3: is going to determine the one seed and the division.
Speaker 3: So if the Lions wanted to, I don't know if
Speaker 3: this is in their DNA, they could just sort of
Speaker 3: be like, eh, whatever, well, we'll play it safe here
Speaker 3: tonight and then you just focus on next week.
Speaker 5: Is that accurate though? Yeah? I was so sure too. Yeah, Well,
Speaker 5: because the only reason I ask is and again I'm
Speaker 5: just double checking this. The Lions are what thirteen and
Speaker 5: two right now? Yes?
Speaker 3: I mean so could they afford to lose this weekend?
Speaker 3: Next No, they can't lose next week. Next week's I
Speaker 3: must win regardless.
Speaker 5: But whatever they do the tiebreaker over the Vikings if
Speaker 5: they had the same record, right, So.
Speaker 3: Whatever they do tonight doesn't matter. Yeah, gotcha? Which would
Speaker 3: be like if you think about the Lions, what a
Speaker 3: great story all year, Like they could end up being
Speaker 3: a wild card team going on the road the ente
Speaker 3: after they ran rough shot over the NFC all.
Speaker 5: The bigger question is, if you're Dan Campbell, do you
Speaker 5: sit anyone? If this is a meaningless game, why play anyone? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Why not? Why not use this because you're because you're
Speaker 5: again you're putting it all on the line to try
Speaker 5: to get a buye then that first wildcard round. Yeah,
Speaker 5: so why would you play in this case? Jared Goff?
Speaker 5: Why risk that?
Speaker 3: I wouldn't. I wouldn't do it personally, and based on
Speaker 3: the luck they've had an injury this year, like I wouldn't,
Speaker 3: like I would just assume the worst. But it's Dan Campbell,
Speaker 3: I mean, like he's a wild man, like he'll he
Speaker 3: does weird stuff, like he'll he'll go for it when
Speaker 3: he maybe shouldn't go for it, you know, like he
Speaker 3: did in the NFC title game at San Francisco last year.
Speaker 3: So I don't I mean that, that would be my guess,
Speaker 3: like why even take the chance? But who knows. Maybe
Speaker 3: he looks at it and says, no, We're going to
Speaker 3: play how we play regardless of the situation. I don't know,
Speaker 3: but I'm not taking that chance. I would gear up
Speaker 3: for next week against Minnesota and try and get it
Speaker 3: done there. Which is what's kind of crazy about it
Speaker 3: is that it was just a couple of years ago
Speaker 3: that the Lions were featured in the final regular season
Speaker 3: game of the year and it was against Green Bay
Speaker 3: and what turned out to be Rogers' last game at
Speaker 3: lambeau Field as a Packer, and that wasn't the Lions
Speaker 3: weren't getting into the playoffs like Seattle had already clinched earlier,
Speaker 3: but they wanted to go out there and play hard
Speaker 3: in that game. And then two years later, they're playing
Speaker 3: final regular season game on Sunday night and they're doing
Speaker 3: it for a shot to be the one seed. In
Speaker 3: the NFC with home Field, like kind of a crazy
Speaker 3: turnaround for that organization and just the matter of a
Speaker 3: couple of years. So we'll see what Dan Campbell decides
Speaker 3: to do. Now, there's a lot of people out there
Speaker 3: that want to swim in the negative side of the pool,
Speaker 3: not us. All Right, We're not going to sit here
Speaker 3: and just pile on and be like, oh, you know,
Speaker 3: these teams are bad. So we decided, why don't we
Speaker 3: at least give an award out? I don't at least
Speaker 3: attach an award to this so at least people can
Speaker 3: feel good about things. And this is not like the
Speaker 3: Antonio Brown Awards that went on this weekend where he
Speaker 3: was handing out you know, Cracker the Year awards to.
Speaker 5: Various person Did you watch that? I did?
Speaker 3: I watched wine so bad.
Speaker 5: I wanted to win so bad. Well, maybe not that
Speaker 5: you would be on his radar for being the Cracker
Speaker 5: of the Year. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I felt like it fit the description, to be honest
Speaker 3: with you, at least one portion of it. Now, you
Speaker 3: got to actually do something important to get that award.
Speaker 3: Apparently I did not, But congratulations to everybody who did that,
Speaker 3: did win that Award over the Over the Weekend by
Speaker 3: Antonio Brown.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: Just the man X is a wild place to be
Speaker 3: man A lot going on there. That said, we decided,
Speaker 3: you know what, enough with this. It's a lot of
Speaker 3: bad teams in the NFL, but there are interesting at least. Well,
Speaker 3: who's the least interesting of them all? Like, if you've
Speaker 3: got to be bad, how bad are you going to be?
Speaker 3: Because we want you to also be uninteresting. So, Brady Quinn,
Speaker 3: do you want to go first? Because I have my
Speaker 3: least interesting team in the NFL Award already to go.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've got mine ready to go too. But I
Speaker 5: want to throw out a question to you. If I
Speaker 5: asked you, all right, you have to pick one division
Speaker 5: in each conference, Okay, which is the least entertaining or
Speaker 5: the one that you would like to watch the least
Speaker 5: which in both sides?
Speaker 3: Oh yeaheah yeah, listen, this is no longer just a
Speaker 3: well it's just the AFC.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 3: The NFC South has done their part, like they have
Speaker 3: done their part to provide mediocre football and a team
Speaker 3: that's most likely a one and done in the playoffs.
Speaker 3: Although I you know, I do like Baker Mayfield, and
Speaker 3: you know, that's a fun team to watch, but.
Speaker 5: Yeah, fun to watch, but again, everything out around them
Speaker 5: is very lax entertainment, not great, not great at all.
Speaker 3: So who's your least interesting team in the NFL?
Speaker 5: My least interesting team in the NFL. And maybe this
Speaker 5: is in part due to recent history. And I'm sure
Speaker 5: this fan base, which is one of the best fan
Speaker 5: bases I'm giving you a compliment, will definitely take issue
Speaker 5: with this. But it's the New Orleans Saints. And look, historically,
Speaker 5: if you look at this franchise outside of the really
Speaker 5: Sean Payton Drew Brees era, and really even that was
Speaker 5: kind of hit and miss, like they'd go on their
Speaker 5: runs of successful season playoff seasons. Obviously, we're all gonna
Speaker 5: go back and remember the loss and the conference championship,
Speaker 5: and I'm right there with you. It got stolen from you.
Speaker 5: The Rams had no business winning that game. That was
Speaker 5: one of the worst calls in the history, maybe the worst,
Speaker 5: maybe the worst outside of the tuck rule play, which
Speaker 5: has changed since then. And I think a lot of
Speaker 5: Raiders fans would agree, But even a lot of the
Speaker 5: haters of the Patriots would agree. Like that changed a
Speaker 5: lot of history. Still, that play in New Orleans for
Speaker 5: Drew Brees's legacy, for Sean Payton, that was one of
Speaker 5: the worst no calls in the history of the NFL,
Speaker 5: so much so they even created past interference as a
Speaker 5: challengeable play the following year. But it would be the
Speaker 5: Saints for me. Coming into the season, there was zero buzz,
Speaker 5: zero hype about this team and what this team could be.
Speaker 5: I've actually looked at this roster and always felt like
Speaker 5: it's been a roster that could should probably achieve at
Speaker 5: a higher rate than it has at least in recent years.
Speaker 5: And this is a year where it's just kind of like, look,
Speaker 5: I know Derek Carr has been out and rather has
Speaker 5: been in, but I just I look at the team
Speaker 5: and it's they're probably one of the least interesting teams
Speaker 5: to watch. And it's not even because they're so bad.
Speaker 5: It's almost like they live in this purgatory of like, yeah,
Speaker 5: they'll be competitive, but then they've kind of gone on
Speaker 5: a streak of losing in the end and it's just
Speaker 5: kind of is what it is, and it's just it's
Speaker 5: just not good. I mean, they've lost what four of
Speaker 5: the last five since the buy and they're probably gonna
Speaker 5: lose next week to Tampa, who's got to win in
Speaker 5: order to win the NFC South. So it would be
Speaker 5: the Saints for me, dog, it would be the Saints.
Speaker 3: They were two and zero at one point, you know,
Speaker 3: I don't know if anybody.
Speaker 5: Here, Yeah, and then they dropped what is it seventh straight?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Then was it was it? Uh Derek Carr that
Speaker 3: did the Michael Jackson after they scored against Dallas and
Speaker 3: everyone's like, oh man, this you know, the Saints, that's
Speaker 3: the team to watch. They're playing like the team from
Speaker 3: last year. And then and by the way, drumming opponents.
Speaker 3: I mean, one, we didn't know how bad Carolina was
Speaker 3: going to be this year. Now we're looking back on
Speaker 3: the most going, yeah that was.
Speaker 5: I mean, if you compared Carolina and the Saints now
Speaker 5: and granted, look and the Panthers beat him, but if
Speaker 5: you compared the two right now, you'd say Carolina is
Speaker 5: playing probably better football.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I would say. And also like the reason
Speaker 3: because there may be some people that go, well, how
Speaker 3: are the Panthers not your least interesting team?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 3: Bryce Shung's playing so much better, Like he's improved so much,
Speaker 3: and it does feel like there's at least some optimism there,
Speaker 3: which is surprising because I don't know that anybody thought
Speaker 3: that that was possible with David Tepper as the owner. Like,
Speaker 3: so yeah, I could. I could definitely see New Orleans
Speaker 3: being your pick, my pick for least interesting team in
Speaker 3: the NFL. And obviously we're gonna stick with the South.
Speaker 3: It's the Tennessee Titans. Okay, I don't get it. I
Speaker 3: just I don't get any of it at all. I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 3: Not only do I not get the team. I don't
Speaker 3: get the uniforms. I don't get the color scheme. I
Speaker 3: don't get I swear to christ, I don't get any
Speaker 3: of it at all, and I never have. Like you've
Speaker 3: got to just just take the oilers, jerseys, I do whatever,
Speaker 3: like go back to the like whatever you want to do.
Speaker 6: Just like that.
Speaker 3: That was gold and man up and vanish like a
Speaker 3: fart in the wind for all of whatever you're rolling
Speaker 3: out nowadays. On top of that, the face of the
Speaker 3: franchise is Derrick Henry. You let him walk, and all
Speaker 3: he's done is solidify his Hall of Fame career in Baltimore.
Speaker 3: The other face of the franchise is Mike Rabel. You
Speaker 3: let him walk and moved on from him, and now
Speaker 3: he's the hottest coaching candidate there is. Quarterback feels like
Speaker 3: a mess. Will Levis doesn't seem like he's the answer.
Speaker 3: They've got an opportunity to have the number one pick
Speaker 3: and so at least there's some hope there. But as
Speaker 3: it stands right now, I don't get it, Like I
Speaker 3: don't understand how if you're a Titans fan, you're watching
Speaker 3: that team going, oh, this is this is a feel
Speaker 3: good moment for us, like, yeah, we feel great about
Speaker 3: this franchise, this organization. It just feels like they are,
Speaker 3: to your word, in purgatory and looking around for answers.
Speaker 3: And on top of that, when you think about where
Speaker 3: they were and the decision to move on from Vrabel,
Speaker 3: this report comes out from Tom Pella Sero this weekend
Speaker 3: that says the Titans are expected to retain Brian Callahan.
Speaker 3: Well they should. He gave him the highlight of the year,
Speaker 3: which was that speech when he told everybody to stick
Speaker 3: it when they talk about his team not playing hard
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago. Other than that, what do
Speaker 3: they got, Like, seriously, what do they have?
Speaker 5: And I think they stuck him with a quarterback that
Speaker 5: wasn't his draft pick. He knew taking the job, that
Speaker 5: he would go through this year and evaluating him. And
Speaker 5: now they put themselves in a position where if they
Speaker 5: want to go with a quarterback, they can go do that.
Speaker 5: But at least they have a better idea of what
Speaker 5: Will Levis is what he isn't despite whatever Pete Prisco thinks.
Speaker 5: That's part of it. I think the other thing when
Speaker 5: you look at their record so far this year, what's
Speaker 5: interesting is that they're three wins. Two of those wins
Speaker 5: could have come against playoff teams. I mean, the Dolphins
Speaker 5: still have a shot of making in the playoffs, which
Speaker 5: they were able to beat them in what Week four?
Speaker 5: I believe that was the game Will Levi Scot hurt,
Speaker 5: Mason Rudoff came in, Yeah, maybe bench at that point
Speaker 5: I can't quite recalling, and then Tua was out at
Speaker 5: that point, so full disclosure, it wasn't like the best
Speaker 5: version of Miami, but still they got to win and
Speaker 5: then the Texans they'd be we twelve. So it's it's
Speaker 5: kind of hard when you look at this team too,
Speaker 5: because there's times when you look at Sale they can
Speaker 5: be competitive and you see the foundation they're trying to
Speaker 5: build in Tennessee, but they're just not there yet and
Speaker 5: that seems rather obvious. But I'm with you, like I'm
Speaker 5: not sure about the uniforms shot that you took at them.
Speaker 5: I mean, what we want to go back to the oilers? Yes, okay, yeah,
Speaker 5: I mean those were pretty dope uniforms back in the day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it. I mean, it's not too much to ask.
Speaker 3: It's not like we're asking to reinvent everything. We're just
Speaker 3: telling you, like, hey, you did it better before, Like
Speaker 3: just go back to that. It's like these places that
Speaker 3: change their recipes for no reason, like why'd you do it?
Speaker 3: Like like stick with the goods.
Speaker 5: They very well could get their fourth winn of the
Speaker 5: season because Houston's already locked into a playoff spot and
Speaker 5: winning the division. Uh, that's where they're going to play
Speaker 5: in a week eighteen. So there's a good chance that
Speaker 5: I would imagine they're sitting out their players waiting to
Speaker 5: in resting and trying to get them healthy for the
Speaker 5: wildcard game.
Speaker 3: That would be my assumption, be wrong if you could
Speaker 3: let me ask you this, would you if you could
Speaker 3: swap out the Houston Texans for the Cincinnati Bengals as
Speaker 3: a playoffs would too?
Speaker 5: Yes, which again we're not there yet in the season.
Speaker 5: But if we really want to be honest with ourselves,
Speaker 5: and this is more of a conversation that's kind of
Speaker 5: born out of the issues with the college football playoff,
Speaker 5: is you would look at reseting once you get in
Speaker 5: the playoffs, like that's only fair when you look at
Speaker 5: a team that's kind of dragging along, and I think
Speaker 5: we look at both NFCAFC South winners it's kind of
Speaker 5: dragging along. We've seen teams in the past have a
Speaker 5: losing record will win their division so they get the
Speaker 5: host of home playoff game. Like there's elements of that
Speaker 5: that you're saying, Like, I get it. Obviously, you've got
Speaker 5: to figure this out in some way, and that's how
Speaker 5: the NFL is chosen to do it, and they put
Speaker 5: a priority in winning your division, But it doesn't really
Speaker 5: make a ton of sense then for the games outside
Speaker 5: of that, if they don't matter quite as much in
Speaker 5: the grand scheme of things.
Speaker 3: God, i'd love to see Cincinnati in the playoffs.
Speaker 5: I mean they put themselves in position, man, I mean
Speaker 5: the Colts knock themselves out. What they're lost to the
Speaker 5: Giants and what it's between Miami and Cincinnati at this
Speaker 5: point and Denver, Denver's gotta win.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Denver and Kansas City's already going to arrest their starters,
Speaker 3: so Denver's gonna have an advantage there, so most likely
Speaker 3: Denver will get it. Which that that's still a good
Speaker 3: story and.
Speaker 5: Both it's a great story.
Speaker 3: Bonix has been fun to watch and that defense, you know.
Speaker 5: It's an interesting one again, not one like we just
Speaker 5: talked about.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not at all, by the way. Uh, this is
Speaker 3: the Dan Patrick Show here on Fox Sports Radio and
Speaker 3: it's brought to you by Maco. Still driving that trusty

Speaker 3: to look forward to. You know, well, you're getting a
Speaker 3: sneaky man. I can't wait to openly root for Boise State,
Speaker 3: Like I.
Speaker 5: Can't wait to do that. Is that how tomorrow's show
Speaker 5: is gonna go? Yes?
Speaker 3: Yes, why not? Just get just we'll figure out, like,
Speaker 3: just try and put the thread in, just figure out
Speaker 3: how how soon, how far into the show before he
Speaker 3: realizes that we're just trying to get him scared about
Speaker 3: that potential matchup against Boise State.
Speaker 5: But it seems like a relatively simple task. You stop
Speaker 5: Ashton genty, which is easier to than done, and Penn
Speaker 5: State advance as it moves on. Mhmm, well, I mean,
Speaker 5: who knows. We will we will see that. It is
Speaker 5: interesting though they are playing the Fiesta Bowl. You know,
Speaker 5: Boise has had some magical moments versus some college football
Speaker 5: blue bloods in the Fiesta Bal.
Speaker 3: Oh that's right, that was when uh what's his name?
Speaker 5: Proposal here is Zebranski, I'm a statue of liberty play.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there's the the and by that, I think
Speaker 3: they're still together the proposal, Yeah, running back together.
Speaker 5: I mean, but you can't. You kind of can't break
Speaker 5: up after that. No, you know, no, not at all,
Speaker 5: because that's like your thing. Like most people are like,
Speaker 5: oh yeah, I remember, you're the guy who proposed after
Speaker 5: that touchdown to win it in the Fiesta Bowl. So
Speaker 5: you're like, yeah, but hey, you guys still together no
Speaker 5: or not? Like, oh, you know, it's like you can't
Speaker 5: can't rewrite the story.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's way too late for that. So uh yeah,
Speaker 3: we'll go well with them. By the way, me too, Actually,
Speaker 3: I'll be honest with that. I couldn't care less, but
Speaker 3: you know it is. It is Boise State, so that's
Speaker 3: hopefully they'll do some good things tomorrow. We can have
Speaker 3: some fun with LeVar about that as well too. By
Speaker 3: the way, if you've missed any of this show, you
Speaker 3: can't check out the podcast, Just search Dan Patrick or
Speaker 3: two Pros wherever you get your podcast. Be sure to

Speaker 1: These might smell a little fun, what sounds incredible, but
Speaker 1: they're still good time to find out what's left's Lee's Leftovers?
Speaker 3: All right, Lie, So what makes this the greatest edition
Speaker 3: of Lee's Leftovers ever that you were talking about during
Speaker 3: the break.
Speaker 8: Well, of course, it is Fantasy Championship weekend and it
Speaker 8: all comes down to Lions versus Niners. Tonight we talked
Speaker 8: a little bit about that. Not a lot to play
Speaker 8: for for maybe the teams, but a lot to play
Speaker 8: for for all the Fantasy Championship champions out there.
Speaker 5: Are you in your Fantasy Championship?
Speaker 4: I am in two out of my five leagues I
Speaker 4: am in the Championship?
Speaker 3: Are you really, junkie.
Speaker 5: That is incredible. I would not think that, based on
Speaker 5: on your conduct over the weekend that you wouldn't, like,
Speaker 5: forget to trade a guy, you know, start a guy,
Speaker 5: sit a guy something like. I would always think that
Speaker 5: there would be an issue with you on the weekends.
Speaker 4: No, not at all.
Speaker 8: I I button it up on the commissioner of one league. Unfortunately,
Speaker 8: I was in the championship and I've already lost Lee.
Speaker 3: Aren't you in a league with like that? It's like
Speaker 3: a ten person league and two of the ten have died,
Speaker 3: like you mean players or yeah? Like well yeah, like
Speaker 3: like two of the players, like two of the teams,
Speaker 3: like the guys running the teams have been dead for
Speaker 3: like three years and they just have it on auto pilots.
Speaker 8: Well Ton is in one of the leagues in the
Speaker 8: same thing's not dead. Yeah, yeah, he might as well
Speaker 8: be with how he runs his team.
Speaker 5: Hold on, hold on, you're telling me you were in
Speaker 5: a league where twenty percent of the participants are not
Speaker 5: a lot of participating and they're just auto drafting like
Speaker 5: it's someone else running their account is AI? Like what
Speaker 5: what do you mean?
Speaker 4: Well, my old man, he's basically non existent. Sometimes he's
Speaker 4: also still alive.
Speaker 5: Jee just killed off your dad and your best friend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, basically, well, I mean there's like a there's a
Speaker 3: better chance at John Wolke's booth winning that league than Todd.
Speaker 3: This is not happening. He doesn't like who's Todd? Like
Speaker 3: who does Todd half starting at quarterback?
Speaker 8: That's a good question. I stopped looking at his team.
Speaker 8: He starts well, basically because he takes my cheat sheet
Speaker 8: and drafts off of it. But then he doesn't manage
Speaker 8: the team.
Speaker 3: And this was the draft where you guys all got
Speaker 3: buckled this year, right oh yeah, oh yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 8: Unfortunately for me, I've already spent all the uh I'm
Speaker 8: bad that way. I spent all the the whole pot.
Speaker 8: So I just basically try to win so I don't
Speaker 8: have to pay out. Wait a second, what you spent
Speaker 8: the winnings already?
Speaker 3: Well yeah, it was Christmas.
Speaker 4: I needed to Lee.
Speaker 3: That's the buy in. That's not for your spending.
Speaker 4: Well, I gotta pay it out.
Speaker 3: I'll pay it out, so.
Speaker 5: Commissioner, I've ever heard.
Speaker 3: At a second.
Speaker 2: So those guys chipped in on the league.
Speaker 3: That was their fee, and you spent their fee. Yeah,
Speaker 3: It was a tough It was a tough buff why.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Sometimes I forget.
Speaker 4: Sometimes I forget. I just put it into the account,
Speaker 4: and then I forget and I spent it.
Speaker 5: I was just gonna compliment you on how being the
Speaker 5: commissioner of a fantasy league for like your buddies or
Speaker 5: people you know, is such a big deal and it
Speaker 5: speaks volumes so to who you are as a person,
Speaker 5: of what they think about you list this is so
Speaker 5: far from that, Lee.
Speaker 3: So you just spend their buying like it's your cash,
Speaker 3: and then hope that you win the league so that
Speaker 3: you don't actually have to pay out a pocket that.
Speaker 5: She does have a chance.
Speaker 8: I mean technically, yeah, I mean I gotta pay off
Speaker 8: a little bit, like it's second place, third place, but
Speaker 8: oh my god, I did get second place.
Speaker 4: I've already gotten crushed.
Speaker 3: You're like the guy who ran the AAF the ground.
Speaker 3: I wonder he was borrowing money from the NHL.
Speaker 4: It was tough, man.
Speaker 8: I had Jalen Hurts and he got you know, didn't
Speaker 8: play in the championship week, and then I picked up
Speaker 8: Anthony Richardson. He didn't play, so I was stuck with
Speaker 8: Rogers in one and Drake May in another league in
Speaker 8: the championship.
Speaker 3: So yeah, it was tough.
Speaker 8: It looks bad. It looked like Drake May was going
Speaker 8: to be out like three plays into the game. Right,
Speaker 8: hold on, I've got to break this down further.
Speaker 5: When do you set your line up on like a Friday,
Speaker 5: because I don't trust you to remember on a Saturday
Speaker 5: or be coherent to actually put in a lineup or
Speaker 5: make something happen.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well I probably do it like the week before.
Speaker 8: I actually start right away. I look, I always look
Speaker 8: a week ahead.
Speaker 3: Let me ask you a question.
Speaker 5: So on Tuesday, you're a line upset and you're just
Speaker 5: going with it. You don't even pay attention to injury news.
Speaker 3: No, of course I do.
Speaker 8: I'm setting it all week long. I get up early,
Speaker 8: and I get up early Sundays.
Speaker 5: This is my days. I get up early.
Speaker 7: Lee.
Speaker 3: Let me ask you a question. Yeah, how often have
Speaker 3: you found yourself looking at the at your phone to
Speaker 3: change your lineup and you've had to keep one eye
Speaker 3: closed to be able to see straight on the screen.
Speaker 3: How many times is that?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 8: Yeah, you always got to check and see the actives
Speaker 8: in actives Saturday night.
Speaker 4: The question every week Sunday morning, we got how many times.
Speaker 5: Have you had one foot on the ground, laying on
Speaker 5: the bed and one eye week?
Speaker 4: Seventeen seventeen times?
Speaker 5: Oh, you're picking the phone.
Speaker 2: You already spent the money.
Speaker 3: Oh man, you are such a scumbag.
Speaker 5: Did you have anything else? I mean? Was that it?
Speaker 4: That's a lot that I had a lot.
Speaker 3: But you know what else? But what else is it?
Speaker 6: Like? It?
