WEBVTT - 08/27/21 DPS Hour 1 Ross Tucker 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.160 Sports Radio. Oh, we made it to a Friday to 0:00:07.280 --> 0:00:14.840 meet Friday. Welcome to the program, Ryan and Honolulu yesterday 0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:17.560 to close out the show. I was laughing after the 0:00:17.560 --> 0:00:20.759 show yesterday afternoon. I just started laughing, and my wife goes, 0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:24.640 what's so funny? I go, dead dad humor? And she 0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:28.319 goes what And I had to explain and she still 0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:30.479 didn't think it was funny. And she goes, why do 0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:32.480 you make fun of the fact your dad is dead? 0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:35.479 I go, no, I'm not making fun of it. I'm 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:39.240 just saying I'm never mind. It's one of those never 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:41.480 mind you wouldn't get it. And his father in law 0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:47.040 they just had the funeral. It was like the day before. Yeah. See, 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:51.440 I'm a little troubled that Ryan is having so much 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:53.880 fun with his father in law being dead. Is he 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:57.520 allowed to make that joke? Well? I just wonder how 0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:01.080 his wife is taking this, because I can say something 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:04.080 about my father, but I'd have to check with my 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:07.240 wife if I was talking about her father being dead. Yes, Todd, 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:09.360 I've met Ryan and his wife in Hawaii and she 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:11.440 seems very supportive. But there's got to be a line 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:14.960 for everyone, especially you're talking about comments like jokes, like 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:18.520 on a national radio and TV. Yeah, yeah, welcome to 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:20.920 the program. Because when you're doing it about your own dad, 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:22.600 it's like one thing. But then he's like, my father 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:26.080 law's dead. I don't know that you're allowed to be 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.319 that happy about that. The audience was like him a 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:36.440 little stif. I got a cold reception. Yeah, Paul, I 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:41.040 don't know it's wife's reaction. But remember aloha also means goodbye. Yeah, 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:44.959 I agree, I agree. I was gonna do all the 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:47.920 you know, paperwork I normally do when I start the show, 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.320 but Paully stopped me in my tracks. As I was, 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:53.960 I was walking over here on my side, getting ready 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:57.880 to prepare for this award nominated program, and Paully goes, stop, 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:03.600 don't check your email, no social media. And I go, well, 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:08.640 what's the story. Let me get everybody in here, and 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.800 and he's like, Pauli's real serious. I go, you're not 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:15.440 landing planes at lax here. But he gave me that stuff. 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:19.480 I go okay, And I said, is this the tear 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:22.959 up the rundown We're gonna change? Like? Does this change 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:26.880 the complexion of the show here? And uh, he said, 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.560 nobody checked their social media. We need to unbook guests 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:33.480 and rebook. I said, well, you gotta let me know here, Paul, 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:35.080 I'm going on the air in a couple of minutes. 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:36.959 I was kind of hoping that this piece of news 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:40.200 could be broken on the air. Okay, well, then wait, 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:44.880 did somebody check? I didn't check my social media? McLevin, 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:47.000 did you do it? No? But I got like four 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.680 texts on my phone from my fantasy football partners that 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:53.560 are implying one way or the other. Okay, you could 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:55.800 have not checked your phone for two minute, didn't we say? 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:59.600 It lit up? Right? It lit up, and it said 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:02.240 you do this all the time. I didn't check. And 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.200 by the way, whatever, this is so obvious. I think 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:10.119 you're lying. I just got to check this text from 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:13.120 John Hershey. It says can't wait for blank to start 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:17.320 for us. Okay, all right, Pa, pall here's you see? 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:20.520 This is Paulli lives for this stuff. Mclovin breaking news? 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.480 All right? Is it really breaking news? But Paully gave 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:27.400 away too many clues. He wasn't neutral enough to not 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:30.360 imply who is going to win the job? All right, Pa? 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:33.280 Set up the topic. Okay, this is no one in 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.920 the room knows the answer this question. Blank has been 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:39.120 named the starter for the New Orleans Saints. Blank has 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.760 been named the starter for New Orlean Luca. Anybody have 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:45.360 a guess. I'm gonna stay with the guests I've had 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.720 for months now. It's Jamis Winston. It seems so obvious 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:53.400 to me that it has to be Jameis Winston mclovin. 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.200 If it wasn't Jamis Winston's, Paul's head would have been 0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:59.640 on fire, and it was not. And by way, if 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:01.760 it's Taysom of them, we're all wrong. But based on 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:05.200 the way PAULI introduced the topic, it's exciting, but it's 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:08.520 not rip up the Rundown exciting. Okay. So now I think, though, 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:10.640 that it's more exciting for Paul because I think he 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.280 believes Taysom Hill should be the starter and he's not. 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:16.479 So now he's like, that's what has him so excited 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.560 about this story? Okay. Can we get the news out 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.880 first and then we can start to editorial line pretty soon. 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:26.679 But I think McGloin is. I think mclovin's a Taysom 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:29.480 hillist in the room because I actually was jabbing Taysom 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:33.080 Hill and mcglovin went to war with me yesterday's off air, saying, 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.800 you know Taysom Hill's numbers, Look at them, They're really nice. 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.200 They're they're not that you did go you are a 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:42.040 Taysom hillist. Well, you guys can't get over as BYU, 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.440 the fact that he couldn't play quarterback at all. At BYU. 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.520 He's raised the bar a little bit. Okay, raise the 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:50.600 bar from one. Well, you look at his stats last year. 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:52.440 If you didn't know his name was Taysom Hilly, be like, Okay, 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:54.800 that's a that's a borderline Pro Bowl quarterback. He's throwing 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.800 for like three hundred yards a game winning. If the 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:00.600 Saints somehow announced that Blaine Gabbert was the starter, I 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:02.680 would then I would be shocked. Whoa I didn't even 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:06.680 realize they got him. Josh Rosen, Yeah, okay, the starting 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:10.240 quarterback for the New Orleans Saints will be in Week one. 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:14.760 Yeah it's James went, okay, thank you, there we go. 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:18.960 Oh my god. The way Paulie reacted to this, like 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:22.720 he turned around from his desk, almost like he was 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.040 playing the role of a producer. Turns around and so 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.600 stop right now, and I went, okay, what and then 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:31.440 he goes, don't check your social media? And I'm like, 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:35.560 I don't check social media? All right? Nobody in the room. 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:39.160 Then he waited to all the Danets once in a 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.320 while works today didn't work? Did he gave it a shot? 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.400 Nobody in the room. Yeah, nobody in the room. Check 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:47.000 your social media. That's an on some questionable website. I 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:50.839 didn't have to worry about him. Oh.

Already in progress. Final 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.880 week of the preseason kicks off tonight, first time the 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:17.960 NFL has had just three preseason games. Different philosophies coming 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.680 up tonight. Do you play your starters? How long do 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:24.320 you play your starters? Or is this about backups? Because 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.320 normally that final preseason game is about guys trying to 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:29.920 make the roster. And think about this, there are guys 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.160 who are playing tonight or this weekend, who may not 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.480 play football again, and they've been preparing all their life 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:38.960 for this moment to make a team, stay with the team, 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.320 and that performance tonight could gain them the last spot 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:45.200 on the roster, maybe the practice squad. It's a little 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.320 bit different, and if you watch Hard Knocks, you know 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:51.200 the human side of sports. Certainly this moment in the preseason, 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.840 it's a big deal. It's not the best football I 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:57.040 think we can all agree on that, but the chance 0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:00.480 to tune into a game late in that game, just 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.960 remember that these guys still going for their NFL dreams. 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:06.920 Coming up tonight, Play of the day, stat of the day, 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:10.200 poll question, all of that forthcoming eight seven seven three 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:12.720 d P Show email address dp A dan Patrick dot 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.320 com Twitter handle a DP show.

And it 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.760 is a Friday, that's a meat Friday. Three of the 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:30.880 four Tragger Girls are fired up barbecue, barbecue, chicken, bacon 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:40.840 ranch sandwiches. Whoa brown sugar and bacon wrapped Smokey's like 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:46.360 little hot dogs, Lil Lil smokey. How many seconds does 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.600 that take off our life? Each smoking? Again, remember earlier 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:52.560 this week, no pauty five seconds per hot dog. It's 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:55.080 something thirty five minutes per hot dog. We did the 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:58.840 math and thirty five minutes. Yeah, each hot dog holy smoke, 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:02.880 according to a Helstone, takes thirty five minutes of your life. Right, So, 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:04.680 if you're a fifty year old man and you've had 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:09.040 twenty hot dogs a year, you've cut twenty four days 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:14.920 off your life. On the back end, is it worth it? Yes? Yeah, yeah, 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:17.680 So if you're eighty nine and a half or eighty 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.440 nine and three quarters, all those hot dogs are awesome 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:24.120 because when I get to be eighty nine, I'm gonna gainst. 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:28.360 The final twenty four days aren't going to be very good, right, 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.360 So all right, I'll give up twenty four on the 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:34.439 back end. Yeah, all right, I'm fine with it. Yeah, 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.079 the club, but for hot dogs. Maybe for pizza or 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:39.679 ice cream, but I don't I know Pollie does, But 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.719 I don't play hot dogs in anywhere near that category. Man, 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:46.400 what's your past? Eight years old? There's something really hot. 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:48.680 Then you move on to more mature food like pizza, 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:54.040 and then you go to sausage, yes, don't leave that 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.839 at the kids table. Those hot dogs. Yeah, barbecue with 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.480 the basics of hot dogs and hamburgers and go into 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.959 a bulgum. Imagine going your whole life to sporting events, 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:05.280 especially a ballpark, and staying away from hot dogs because 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:09.960 you have this nutrition fear. Thank you to welcome. There's 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:13.199 there's the grill makes the hot dog like. There's just 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.520 something about a grill that's been used quite a bit 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:18.319 and you put that hot dog on there and it's 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:20.679 still good to go. You toast the bun and I 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.960 have one the other day playing golf. Made the turn 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.520 said I'm gonna get a dog because it had to 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.480 be National Hot Dog Day or week or month or 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.120 who knows. It felt feels like that with Paulie. You know, 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:38.400 yesterday it was National Dog Day. We didn't celebrate. Yeah, yeah, 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:42.640 my puppy didn't get a day. We didn't celebrate. But 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:46.480 if it was National hot Dog Day, Chili dog Day, 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:50.760 put onions on a dog day. Yes, it was super 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:55.000 hot yesterday too and it was National dog Okay, thank you. 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.000 It's gonna be one of those shows and I think 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.040 so already is Oh by the way, we got a 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:07.160 new imitation. Now, Jimmy Jimmerson is really setting the sports 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:11.800 world on fire. He's our resident analyst who doesn't say anything, 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:15.120 but takes a long time to not say anything. Give 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:19.880 us a sample, Jimmy Jimmerson, the New Orleans Saints him 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:23.320 named Jamis Winston. Let's go to our former NFL player 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:26.120 and our analyst, Jimmy Jimmerson. Jim like anyone who's been 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.720 following the preseason, knew it was Jamis all along. Okay. Now, 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:30.480 I've talked to people in the locker room, and to 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:34.400 a man, they all said Jamis was the guy. So 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.480 it's really not much of a surprise at all. To 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:41.360 a man. Wow, that's when it gets serious to a man. 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:44.920 When the analysts said, it is what it is, when 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:46.679 is it not? It is what it is at the 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:49.880 end of the day. Sometimes it is to a man 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:51.640 at the end of the day. It might not be 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:55.320 what it was in the national football in the national Okay, 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:59.680 So Seaton's got a new impersonation. And I didn't realize 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.120 that he had this in him, but earlier this morning 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:05.679 he was laughing and I go, what are you doing? 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:09.679 He goes, oh, I got a new impersonation. Okay, I 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:12.280 don't know if anybody else is doing this impersonation, but 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:14.040 somebody's gonna have to let me know if this is 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:18.160 a good impersonation. Here it is seating O'Connor with his 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:23.160 Ezekiel Elliott impersonation. If you if you watch Hard Knocks, 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:26.400 Ezekiel Elliott is either doing one or of two things. 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:29.680 He's either eating a bunch of snacks, usually super sugary snacks, 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:38.439 or all he does is laugh, which is funny for 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:40.160 me to say. But all he does is he'll be 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.600 sitting in like the quarterback meeting for some reason, sitting 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:50.480 next to de Oh my gosh, it's almost like Darius Rucker. 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:59.000 It's a little bit yeah, uh okay, oh my GOSHU 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.679 primarily catch all the matches all week long.

Maybe doesn't get no, you get the feeling 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:20.840 nobody else wants Ronaldo that he's almost saying, Hey, anybody 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:25.400 anybody interested in me? Roger Bennett, men and Blazers will 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.040 join us a little bit later on. We'll talk about that. 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:31.400 I think you got your super League. I think with 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:35.319 MESSI like it's I don't know, they're they're moving parts here. 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:38.120 But we'll talk to Roger Bennett about that big move 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.800 that Ronaldo may be going to the Premier League, the 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.559 Premiership mclovin, what kind of poll question do you have? 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:46.800 Do we do the food poll question? You can only 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:48.679 have one of these foods on your desert island. Do 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:52.560 you think hot dog can battle my pizza and ice cream? Okay? Noah? 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:56.960 What else? Okay? Uh? You can only watch one this weekend. 0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.360 And this is going to sound like a slam dunk, 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.640 but it's not college football Week zero? Okay. First of all, yeah, 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:07.520 I hate that week zeros. I mean, if you're playing 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:11.240 this weekend and it's week zero and it's being called 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:16.720 that refer to that does week zero even count? It shouldn't. 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:19.000 It's week zero zero? Then why is it week one? 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:22.679 I don't know, Like Nebraska and Illinois are playing UCLA 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.640 in Hawaii, you're playing Why why do I have to 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:30.199 have week zero? Unless Coke zero is sponsoring this, then 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.600 that you shouldn't put week zero on that, yeah, point, 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.400 it's a small slate. I don't think college game days 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.679 going to UTEP New Mexico State, so it's almost like 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:43.320 it feels like it's a primer. They have a weekend 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:47.240 with no NFL football and they throw out five games nationally. Okay, 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:49.720 but just because college game Day is not going anywhere 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:55.360 doesn't mean it's not a true college football week. All right? Well, 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:56.920 I think they want to is it because they want 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:59.000 to make Week one a big deal? The kickoff game 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:03.880 Alabama Miami. It's like everything is focused on that. Okay, 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:07.080 but week zero, could they come up with something different 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:10.920 or just say college football this week? Why do we 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:15.840 have to label everything? Right, this is just college football. 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:20.520 You don't want to have opening week or whatever it is, 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.240 then just say hey, college football this weekend. Then you 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:26.080 want to go, hey, it's the official opening day of 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:29.840 college football. Yeah, employing next weekend is saucy, by the way, 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:34.560 holy and that's week one. On ESPN dot com, it 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:39.600 says week two scoreboard. Actually it says week one scoreboard twice. 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:41.400 It says a week one this weekend and next weekend. 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.360 They don't have weeks here. Next weekend's slate you got 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:50.600 Penn State, Wisconsin, Alabama, Miami, Indiana, Iowa on a great weekend, Louisiana, Texas, 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.640 the rageing cage of the ranked. Nebraska and Illinois have 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:56.720 to be playing at noon, right noon, Champagne time? And 0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:59.400 all right, I don't know if it's in Champagne. Is 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:03.400 it noon or or at at one o'clock one o'clock Eastern? Okay, yeah, 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:07.960 Georgia Clemson next week? Yeah, yes to the week zero. 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.240 Thing is not only that insulting, but think about baseball. 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:12.720 Not everyone plays the first day of the baseball season, 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:15.600 so it's opening day for some teams, and then you 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:17.160 have to call it something else with the other teams 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:19.400 that play their first games the second or third day 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:22.320 on the calendar. It's really I would find it extremely insulting, 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:24.240 even though I know they're trying to get a couple 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:26.400 of teams some national exposure that they normally wouldn't get. 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:30.080 Early seventeen after the hour will take a break. I 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:33.240 think I just pulled the Jimmy Jimerson. There you did. 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:35.920 I think I might have said a bunch of stuff 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:37.880 that didn't really amount to a lot. Okay, fine, I'll 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:42.280 admit it. My Jimmie Jamberson impression is of time. You know, 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:47.240 I had two analysts. I had two NFL analysts. One 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:49.960 does college as well, and he goes, are you guys 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:52.880 making fun of me? Both guys, and I go no, 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:56.920 why would you think that? If if, if you're you know, 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:01.840 saying something as an analyst, then no. Jimmy Jimmerson only 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.600 makes fun of the analysts who talks but doesn't say anything. Yeah, 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:06.960 mcle and the ironies. He's dead wrong too. He's MLB 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:08.920 just changed it so all the teams open on the 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:11.920 same day because teams didn't like being stacked like that. 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.160 Thanks as well. They should. Everyone should play on the 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:15.720 first All right, let me take a break here. Let 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:17.240 me took care of that. Let me let me take 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:21.280 a break. We got a lot accomplished here, and we're 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:24.840 only seventeen minutes into this show. We'll take a break 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:28.640 back after this and the Dan Patrick Show.

Hi, Chris, 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:59.600 what's on your mind this morning? Hey? Damn, what's going on? 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:01.960 I had a quick question for you. So I'm reading 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:05.600 this book by Bill Hennessy about the Patriots dynasy, and 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:08.840 there's a section in there that talks about when Belichick 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:12.000 resigned as head coach of the Jets, that that crazy 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:14.879 press conference, and I just don't have a big memory 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:16.520 of it, So I'm sort of curious, like you, as 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:20.119 a journalist, what was that like to cover? I was 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:23.800 covering him from Afar, because you know the guys who 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:26.280 were doing that every single day being there. It was 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:31.720 different being a sports center. We weren't at least I 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:33.920 don't remember how much coverage we gave to it. It 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:36.199 was just so bizarre that he was there and then 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:39.560 he was gone, like wait, he just quit, and then 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:41.680 he was going to New England. McLevin, do you have 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:44.440 any recollection? No, Just like you said, it was real quick. 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:46.240 As I recalled, I was going to say that you 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:49.840 did interview Parcels a lot. Yeah, well, I covered the 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:52.640 Giants when I was at CNN. That was with Phil 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:56.520 Simms and Joe Morris and Lt. Bill Parcels, that group. 0:18:56.880 --> 0:19:00.480 But no, I wasn't around, and I even I saw Belichick, 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:03.560 but nobody thought Belichick was gonna be Belichick. It was 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:06.280 just that's the defensive coordinator. Yeah, but you couldn't interview 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:09.160 him right by, it didn't. Parcel's famously not allow its assistant. 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:11.200 Did you ever like talk casually to Belichick back in 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:14.960 the day, No, No, and I still happened after all 0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:18.240 these years. I don't think I've ever had a conversation 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:20.879 with Belichick. Now, there was the one the night of 0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:24.680 the butt fumble, and I was on the sidelines with 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:29.960 Tony Dunge and Rodney Harrison and it was halftime, or 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:32.840 at least getting close to halftime, I think, and Belichick 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:35.879 walked out, shook hands with Rodney, shook hands with Tony, 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:41.239 and he just kept walking by me. And I went, okay, hey, 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:48.080 coach Belichick just kept walking. Ross Stucker played for Bill Belichick. 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:51.200 I don't did you ever talk to Bill Belichick while 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:55.439 you played in New England? Ross, yeah, three times? Okay, 0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:02.600 how long were those three conversations? Actually know what four times? 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:07.760 The first three were probably three to five words. I 0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:10.840 would say. The last time we actually had to sit 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:13.159 down was when he traded me to Cleveland. That was 0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:16.360 the only time I actually had a conversation with him, 0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:20.720 and they signed me midway Dan through the old five season. 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:23.720 He and I just went in the team meeting room 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:26.240 and it was the first meeting and he walked up 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:28.960 the steps to meet me, and I stand up to 0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:31.040 shake his hand. He says, you don't have to stand up, 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:35.040 and that was it. And then about a week later 0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:38.120 in practice, I fell on the ground. And he had 0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:42.639 this really interesting way and ability to talk to you 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:46.040 without anybody else knowing. He was talking to you as 0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:48.440 he was walking by you. So I fell in practice 0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:51.440 all of a sudden, like behind my right ear, I 0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:56.440 heard somebody say, stay off the freaking ground. And then 0:20:57.560 --> 0:21:00.679 and then when we played Jacksonville in the playoffs, Jacksonville 0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:05.480 starting center was actually my teammate at Princeton, and he said, 0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:08.800 like over my left shoulder walking away, we got half 0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:12.600 the Princeton offensive line in this game. Those are the 0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:15.119 only three things he said to me Dan until I 0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:19.280 got traded to Cleveland. I promise you did he know 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:23.119 your name? Yeah, I mean he didn't ever use it, 0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:25.600 but I think he was generally aware of it. Yes, 0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:28.439 all right, full introduction. Ross will be on the call 0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:31.440 tonight the Eagles at the Jets, seven thirty eastern on 0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:35.159 the Eagles Television Network. A couple of things here that 0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:37.880 we'll get to. Who do you think has a better 0:21:38.080 --> 0:21:41.879 chance get back to the Super Bowl Chiefs of the Buccaneers. 0:21:44.240 --> 0:21:47.560 I'll say Bucks, and I'll say the Bucks for two reasons. 0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:52.040 Number One, I think the NFC is easier. You know, 0:21:52.280 --> 0:21:57.320 you look at the AFC. I think Buffalo's legit, Cleveland's legit, 0:21:57.600 --> 0:22:02.080 Baltimore has a shot, even maybe Pittsburgh has an outside shot. 0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:05.480 You look at the NFC, Dan, how many teams in 0:22:05.560 --> 0:22:09.359 the NFC do we really think can beat Tom Brady 0:22:09.440 --> 0:22:13.879 and this Buccaneers team in the playoffs? I think Green 0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:19.639 Bay Maybe, I guess one of the NFC West teams 0:22:19.720 --> 0:22:22.639 if Russell Wilson or Matthew Stafford goes crazy, but I 0:22:22.680 --> 0:22:25.879 don't see it happening. So the combination of the NFC 0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:31.160 being easier and the Chiefs essentially having three rookie offensive 0:22:31.200 --> 0:22:34.280 lineman starting at center, right garden, right tackle. I'll lean 0:22:34.400 --> 0:22:39.040 with the Bucks handicap the NFC East. For me, Washington 0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:43.200 ended up winning that division, But you're looking at a 0:22:43.240 --> 0:22:46.520 division that might be the worst division in football. I 0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:49.800 think it's pretty jumbled again, man, I really do. I 0:22:50.000 --> 0:22:56.200
