Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Final Hour, and I mean the final hour this year
Speaker 2: for the program. We're off next week and it's a
Speaker 2: meat Friday. We have the folks from Treger. We have
Speaker 2: Chad and Julie who are here and they have created
Speaker 2: another masterpiece here the UH. I have a monitor here,
Speaker 2: I have a camera that is fixed on the grilling area,
Speaker 2: so it's called Grillcam. There's Chad, there's Julie, and there's
Speaker 2: all the Tregger grills. We got a bonfire out there.
Speaker 2: And this is the menu today. Duck klown feet and
Speaker 2: I'm not quite sure what that is other than that's
Speaker 2: just duck.
Speaker 3: There's the feet of a duck.
Speaker 2: No, it's ko n f t con feet. Does anybody
Speaker 2: know what duck con feet is? March, thank you, Thank you, Marvin.
Speaker 2: Beef tenderloin, duck fat, potatoes, sausage and apple stuffed acorn, squash,
Speaker 2: cauliflower grotten. We have maple, balsamic, brussels sprouts, sausage balls, gingerbread,
Speaker 2: bunt kick and some drink called glue wine g l
Speaker 2: u h w E I N. I'm guessing that's a
Speaker 2: German wine that usually around the holidays. Yes, Paul, glue
Speaker 2: vine with an umlat in the middle.
Speaker 4: DA.
Speaker 5: It's glow wine because of the feel you get after
Speaker 5: drinking Oh the warm wine you've had it at your house,
Speaker 5: like a glug.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, glug in that miliu. Okay, yes, Toun.
Speaker 6: That's going to be quite a mountain of food. I'm
Speaker 6: going to try to put all on one plate. That's
Speaker 6: like eleven different things.
Speaker 2: Okay, something embarrassing just happened. I realized that I did
Speaker 2: not send the Danetes the invitation to my party. Some
Speaker 2: of the Danets. Todd got an invitation, and I didn't
Speaker 2: realize that the other Danets because Seaton goes what times
Speaker 2: the party start, and I go, you didn't get an invitation?
Speaker 2: Goes no, and then PAULI goes, I didn't get one.
Speaker 2: Marvin said he didn't get one. Todd goes, I got one.
Speaker 2: So I apologize for that. I you know, you can
Speaker 2: shoot the messenger here. I'm gonna blame this. This is
Speaker 2: e wife, not me. Yeah, I said it, yees see.
Speaker 7: To be fair, Todd probably texts your wife multiple times
Speaker 7: about the status of the invitation.
Speaker 2: That is tice to make sure nothing's got a passive.
Speaker 8: Aggressive MVD vote. That was your way of deciding who
Speaker 8: the winner was.
Speaker 2: No, now hard, Now you can vote. I'm not picking
Speaker 2: the most Valuable dan at the audiences. You can go
Speaker 2: to Danpatrick dot com. We will crown the most Valuable
Speaker 2: dan At probably in about forty minutes from now. But
Speaker 2: it's a special day. It's the last day of the
Speaker 2: year for us. Yes, Pauline.
Speaker 5: In this situation, though, it's like a quarterback who just
Speaker 5: lost the game. Should you share the blame? You pointed
Speaker 5: at your wife. It's like pointing at your wide receivers.
Speaker 5: Will that come back to bite you?
Speaker 2: It could? It could. This is where I throw basically
Speaker 2: my offensive line under the bus there. Yes, Tom, when
Speaker 2: you handed.
Speaker 6: Them the invitations, I heard you whisper you guys don't
Speaker 6: really want to go, right, So I don't know what
Speaker 6: kind of take that really was because I have to
Speaker 6: let you know about it because someone's gonna get it's
Speaker 6: gonna get back.
Speaker 2: Slow, slow it down. Okay, I need you to last
Speaker 2: this final hour here. Okay, guys probably.
Speaker 8: Won't want to go, but here you go. It's two
Speaker 8: o'clock to month.
Speaker 2: The most Valuable dan Net gets a set of fresh
Speaker 2: tires from tire rack dot com. You have to take
Speaker 2: him home, you have to carry him, Todd.
Speaker 8: Okay, that's the elbow issues from whippleball though.
Speaker 2: That's my shoulder, my lower back.
Speaker 8: Put some weight on.
Speaker 2: I got some problem our thanks to tire rack dot com,
Speaker 2: they have provided if there are, they've been a great
Speaker 2: sponsor of ours and they wanted to freshen this up.
Speaker 2: Nobody cared about winning the most Valuable danet because nothing
Speaker 2: came with that, and all of a sudden you get
Speaker 2: new tires and everybody was competing. Also the backroom guys
Speaker 2: as well. There's this set of tires for the most
Speaker 2: valuable backroom guy. You can't vote on that. That will
Speaker 2: be voted by a secret committee. Yeh see, that's funny.
Speaker 2: I think that the MVD started.
Speaker 7: To lose it its shine a little bit because any
Speaker 7: year that you didn't win, it's like, ah, it's just
Speaker 7: nice that those guys got a chance, because everybody knows
Speaker 7: it's me.
Speaker 2: Yeh is that what ith? That's pretty much what it's like.
Speaker 2: Oh no, it's good.
Speaker 7: I'm glad that I'm glad that Fritzie picked one of it.
Speaker 7: I mean, it's obviously me, but I'm glad that he
Speaker 7: got a shot.
Speaker 2: Well, Fritzi. Fritzy wins Most Valuable Least Valuable, Danet. I
Speaker 2: think every year, or close to every year.
Speaker 7: People are upset that there's no LVD either.
Speaker 2: I know, but if it was going to be Fritzi,
Speaker 2: well he would have three peted I know, but I
Speaker 2: don't think he wants.
Speaker 3: To three pack. You let him sing. He's not fun
Speaker 3: to either.
Speaker 2: Funny. I don't know if that has anything to do
Speaker 2: with each other.
Speaker 3: Just book the guesting to try to be funny.
Speaker 2: Somebody said that Fritzie singing is like Ben Simmons shooting
Speaker 2: in the NBA.
Speaker 3: Guess the holiday season. So whooped to do?
Speaker 2: What do you do?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 6: All right?
Speaker 2: The Age seven to seven to three d P show
Speaker 2: email ADDRESSDP at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle a
Speaker 2: TP show. Al Michaels with the call last night and
Speaker 2: we'll talk to Alm. Also the most must win game
Speaker 2: of the weekend. Some phone calls as well, that's a
Speaker 2: big win for the Chargers. It's a game the Chargers
Speaker 2: don't win. And look, the Broncos are formidable, got a
Speaker 2: good defense, bow Knicks can play, and Sean Payton talk
Speaker 2: about pressure after what happened last year, and it just
Speaker 2: felt like the talons were out there to try to
Speaker 2: get Sean Payton, like, Okay, yeah, you're gonna rip the
Speaker 2: coach that you that you followed, and you're gonna rip
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson, get rid of him, and let's see what
Speaker 2: you got. Well, he got his quarterback. Bo Nix has
Speaker 2: played really well. And if you're going to rank these quarterbacks,
Speaker 2: Jayden Daniels, bow Knicks, Drake, Meg Williams, and imagine if
Speaker 2: we started the season and I would have said Caleb
Speaker 2: Williams will be the fourth best rookie quarterback, you would
Speaker 2: have said in what universe? And it's fair. Caleb is
Speaker 2: still learning. Kurt Warner joined his last hour and he said, look,
Speaker 2: he's got to fix some things, but also you got
Speaker 2: to fix the scheme for him, the game plan for him.
Speaker 2: This is where Sean Payton is brilliant. Now, Sean, all
Speaker 2: those years working with quarterbacks Drew Brees, you put him
Speaker 2: in a position to succeed. The last thing I want
Speaker 2: is my quarterback to have to improvise, to create more
Speaker 2: than we're creating for him. Caleb Williams did that at USC,
Speaker 2: you can't do that in the NFL. Drake May, Drake
Speaker 2: May had limitations in college. Scout said that analysts said
Speaker 2: that he seems to know who he is weekend and
Speaker 2: week out. Jayden Daniels, we saw him to start this season.
Speaker 2: You got banged up, but still he's gonna be your
Speaker 2: Rookie of the Year. But Bo Nix, I think playing
Speaker 2: for two different teams in you know, two big conferences,
Speaker 2: and you get you know, over fifty starts, sixty starts,
Speaker 2: you're ready to go when you get into the NFL
Speaker 2: from the standpoint of you've played a lot and you're
Speaker 2: probably twenty three, twenty four years of age. All right, See,
Speaker 2: are we changing anything up pole question wise? For the
Speaker 2: final hour of the program.
Speaker 7: Let me see what we got up there right now. Well,
Speaker 7: we do have who sang better today?
Speaker 2: Okay, we had Marvin who sang a Stevie Wonder song,
Speaker 2: and then Todd sang a Lewis Capaldi, Yes, someone you loved.
Speaker 2: So I think there's a difference in better singer, better performance.
Speaker 2: It felt like Marvin wasn't sure of himself but might
Speaker 2: have been a better singer. Fritzy, he's the whole package.
Speaker 3: Confidence I'm too sure of myself is substract.
Speaker 2: The problem is he's got his hands on his package.
Speaker 2: That's he's the whole package.
Speaker 3: That's the problem.
Speaker 2: When he sings with his hands down, his pants went
Speaker 2: too much of Todd's package. Yes, that's how it hit
Speaker 2: the higher. I still don't know why you had your
Speaker 2: hands in your pocket because I was nervous.
Speaker 6: I was like, I didn't know what to do with
Speaker 6: my hands. There was no like mike to hold because
Speaker 6: it was on the stand.
Speaker 2: But the entire ten minutes, when you sang two songs
Speaker 2: with Darius Rucker, your hands are in your pocket.
Speaker 6: I was brave enough to sing two songs, yet I
Speaker 6: was so nervous I couldn't get my hands out of
Speaker 6: my pockets.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't think I can use the
Speaker 2: word brave. That the crowd was brave.
Speaker 8: That's they were a lot more brave. You have to
Speaker 8: sit through that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, a spot, but on the side the sky,
Speaker 2: I still know you, alright.
Speaker 3: They did clap along, which is nice.
Speaker 2: Remember I felt they thought you were done. They thought
Speaker 2: you were done.
Speaker 3: There was some charity events.
Speaker 8: I don't know what's wrong with this kid.
Speaker 2: I think they thought you were a make a wish. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's like, look at Darius Runker. He's bringing that guy
Speaker 2: up there.
Speaker 1: To my year.
Speaker 3: It sounded very good. Fight it back. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's a little pitchy, a little off.
Speaker 2: A little uh. Fritzy gets a pie of the face
Speaker 2: coming up. So this is going to coincide with most
Speaker 2: Valuable Danette and Fritzy has to pay off the bed
Speaker 2: of the Broncos losing last night to the Chargers. Maybe
Speaker 2: maybe you become the most Valuable Danette and the reward
Speaker 2: is four new tires and a pie to the face.
Speaker 6: Well, you don't get the pirate to the face because
Speaker 6: that's one of the rewards of getting mvds.
Speaker 8: You get to not get the.
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, it doesn't it. How about we go
Speaker 2: around the room the most must win game of the weekend. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm taking Notre Dame off the board. I think Notre
Speaker 2: Dame that they have to win that game. Perception State
Speaker 2: of Indiana, Notre Dame versus in I mean Notre Dame.
Speaker 2: That's that's the game. You gotta you gotta win that.
Speaker 2: Now you can put Ohio State in there, because you
Speaker 2: know what they just did or happened to them at
Speaker 2: that place with Michigan, and now you've got a really
Speaker 2: good Tennessee team in town. So todd the most must
Speaker 2: win game of the weekend the.
Speaker 6: Seven and seven Atlanta Falcons bench Kirk Cousins for Pennix.
Speaker 6: They'd better win at home versus the two and twelve Giants.
Speaker 2: I like that. That's a good choice. Seat O'Connor. Most
Speaker 2: must win game of the weekend.
Speaker 7: Yeah, most must win dan Bundesliga Dortmund Barusha Dortmann absolutely
Speaker 7: must win this weekend against Wolfsburg. They're currently uh for
Speaker 7: eleven points off the top. They're in eighth or four
Speaker 7: points behind a Champions League entry. I know you're following
Speaker 7: this one closely. They're having a real results crisis.
Speaker 2: Yeah, then you steal my most must win game of
Speaker 2: the weekend.
Speaker 10: Took that chance.
Speaker 2: I was gonna do like PAULI does whatever you guys
Speaker 2: do you know, everybody, Marvin most must win game of
Speaker 2: the weekend.
Speaker 10: I'm going to go with penn State playing SMU.
Speaker 2: Did you see Paulie go? Oh that was fine?
Speaker 10: I did, forgive me, Paulie, But penn State, I guess SMU,
Speaker 10: they gotta win this one.
Speaker 2: Okay, Paul, since Marvin took yours, you.
Speaker 5: Know I'm gonna go with it as well. I think
Speaker 5: Penn State and James Franklin. James Franklin has a reputation
Speaker 5: in college football.
Speaker 2: In big games. This is not a good record, not.
Speaker 5: A great one. And SMU on paper beatable big one.
Speaker 2: I'm going to go Texas against Clemson. Texas twelve point
Speaker 2: favorites against Clemson. And you know Dabbo Sweeney he may
Speaker 2: did you see did Dabbo get somebody in the transfer
Speaker 2: portal recently?
Speaker 10: Not our Dabo?
Speaker 2: I think so? Didn't he get like a receiver from
Speaker 2: a am? I making this up? I do have strange
Speaker 2: dreams at night, and I do think of and I
Speaker 2: dream of Dabo Sweeney occasionally? Did Dabbo get a receiver
Speaker 2: in the transfer portal? He got a defensive end? Oh, okay,
Speaker 2: Alex Helt of Purdue. But he did get somebody in
Speaker 2: the transfer portal. Yes, he's in on it now.
Speaker 5: Okay, he held off as long as he could.
Speaker 2: Is he gonna have nil at Clemson?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, Todd, I'm seeing something about a commitment from
Speaker 6: a transfer portal wide receiver named Tristan.
Speaker 2: Smith there you go, all right, and that's his decision.
Speaker 8: Monday in a social media post to join the Tiger.
Speaker 2: I'm not as stupid as you say I am toime
Speaker 2: my thanks to JJ Watt earlier, Rhys Davis, Kurt Warner,
Speaker 2: L Michaels will join us as well, and it's Indiana
Speaker 2: Notre Dame. Notre Dame favored by six and a half.
Speaker 2: Weather could be an issue. They have snow in South Bend.
Speaker 2: I don't know how much Pauli's been checking in with
Speaker 2: the weather channel.
Speaker 5: It's thirty degrees in South Bend and like breezy snow,
Speaker 5: it doesn't seem like an accumulation and it's supposed to
Speaker 5: be twenty five at kickoff.
Speaker 2: Okay, favors Notre Dame. I don't know who it favors.
Speaker 2: All I know is Indiana scored a lot of points
Speaker 2: this year, didn't play a challenging schedule, and I think
Speaker 2: I think Vegas looks at Notre Dame as one of
Speaker 2: the three teams that can win the national championship. There
Speaker 2: the Lions running back David Montgomery could be back for
Speaker 2: the playoffs, maybe holding off surgery so he can play
Speaker 2: in the playoffs and then Aiden Hutchinson. Do we have
Speaker 2: Aiden Hutchinson talking to Taylor Latner?
Speaker 10: Really?
Speaker 2: I think Taylor Lautner has a podcast and this is
Speaker 2: the what was that Twilight? Taylor Latner? Yeah, Twilight? Do
Speaker 2: we have Taylor Lautner and Aiden Hutchinson? Marvin?
Speaker 10: This is from Taylor Lautner's podcast.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm on track for my goal of returning for
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl, and so I keep telling all the
Speaker 4: boys when I see him in the in the facility,
Speaker 4: I'm like, you, I just got to get there, and
Speaker 4: I promise you I'm going to be back, you know,
Speaker 4: And I tell people that. My mom was like, but
Speaker 4: ETON like like what if you don't get back? Like, like,
Speaker 4: what if you can't? I was like, there's no other way.
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 9: I like it.
Speaker 2: So Taylor Latner can get Aiden Hutchinson, but you can't, Todd.
Speaker 3: Who else would you tell that to me?
Speaker 2: Taylor las I got a secret, and the only person
Speaker 2: I want to talk to is Taylor Latner.
Speaker 9: Yes.
Speaker 2: Paul TJ.
Speaker 5: Watt was on Misha Barton's part. Okay, the same thing.
Speaker 5: I didn't know if you guys knew.
Speaker 2: That, Uh, Tommy and Eugene, Hi, Tommy what's on your mind?
Speaker 2: Good morning, Polly, oh, and good morning to the field.
Speaker 3: I liked it.
Speaker 2: First of all, I'd like to get out congratulate Paully
Speaker 2: in advance for the most valuable dan Atte victory.
Speaker 9: If he doesn't win, it's rigged.
Speaker 8: It's rigged.
Speaker 3: And like you guys know that.
Speaker 2: I'm using my elon musk size bank roll to primary
Speaker 2: the rest of you.
Speaker 1: Uh, Polly's in on the ducts.
Speaker 2: Go DUTs, let's go, Paul. All right, thank you, Tommy,
Speaker 2: thank you. Do you guys want to know first place,
Speaker 2: second place, third place, fourth place? Most valuable?
Speaker 9: Donnut?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Because then doesn't last place become the least valuable?
Speaker 2: Donn it? Correct? Okay? By default? No tears for paying
Speaker 2: LVD one way or the other. Yes, you are.
Speaker 3: I want to know the rank of for BD.
Speaker 8: That's why I stay quiet for that.
Speaker 3: That sounds like everybody else does.
Speaker 8: I'm out voted.
Speaker 2: Okay, but you still get a pie to the face
Speaker 2: no matter what understood. Okay, if you're most valuable, you're
Speaker 2: still most likely to get a pie to the face.
Speaker 8: You can't put that in like a get out of
Speaker 8: jail pe card.
Speaker 2: No, no, unless you want to say I'm not eligible
Speaker 2: for Most Valuable down at next year.
Speaker 8: That takes the fun away.
Speaker 3: I'll just take the pie and then that's.

Speaker 2: to Clemson, Indiana getting six and a half against Notre Dame,
Speaker 2: you got Tennessee getting seven and a half against the
Speaker 2: Ohio State, and you got SMU getting nine against Penn State.
Speaker 2: By the way, two top AFC teams collide on NBC
Speaker 2: their holiday special, The Texans take on Patrick Mahomes and
Speaker 2: the Chiefs Saturday noon Eastern on NBC and Peacock Al
Speaker 2: Michaels was on the call last night with Kirk kurb
Speaker 2: Street Bronco's Chargers Prime Video. How are you feeling?
Speaker 9: I feel great? Kirk just sent me a video he
Speaker 9: is in South Bend for game day that he's doing
Speaker 9: the Ohio State game snowing like crazy. So I am
Speaker 9: going surfing today. It's eighty degrees out here, or will be.
Speaker 9: He is going snowboarding.
Speaker 2: Do you bet? Do you bet on college games?
Speaker 9: I don't, you know, Dan, I don't bet. People laugh
Speaker 9: because you know I'm the points spread, you know, announcing
Speaker 9: king and have been for years, and I was doing
Speaker 9: it when you aren't supposed to be doing it. But
Speaker 9: I know that the more you know, the less you know.
Speaker 9: And I know a lot about the National Football League,
Speaker 9: probably no more than ninety nine percent of the people.
Speaker 9: But if I had to bet on football, I would
Speaker 9: not be living where I'm living right now. I'd be
Speaker 9: under a freeway overpast. You can't win, you cannot win.
Speaker 9: It's fun, it's fun to play, and I would hope
Speaker 9: that people only play with money that's disposable. But you know,
Speaker 9: you can get into a lot of trouble with it.
Speaker 2: So I know what.
Speaker 9: I don't know which is the most important.
Speaker 2: Thing, but going into it, you know, like Brent Musburger
Speaker 2: gave us, you are looking live and that was his
Speaker 2: way of saying to gamblers back in the seventies. Whether
Speaker 2: may or may not play a role here, but you're
Speaker 2: trying to covertly throw it in there where you probably
Speaker 2: have bosses who say or the commissioner who says, hey,
Speaker 2: don't be overt in making this about a point spread.
Speaker 9: Well they did years ago, but now everybody's in bed
Speaker 9: with DraftKings and fan Duel and all of the other
Speaker 9: entities at MGM. So I had a lot of fun,
Speaker 9: you know, being the rascal. But and don't forget I
Speaker 9: did the Super Bowl back in ninety four, San Francisco
Speaker 9: against San Diego was an eighteen point spread, and they
Speaker 9: asked me the one time. My boss, Nis Swanson, at
Speaker 9: that point said, you know, the league is very sensitive
Speaker 9: to this. So I stayed away from it until the
Speaker 9: end when the forty nine ers were leading by twenty three.
Speaker 9: And the last play of the game is ay Stan
Speaker 9: Humphrey's passionate the end zone, which would have covered. So
Speaker 9: I couldn't hold it back at that particular time. But
Speaker 9: you know, I had a lot of fun, and you
Speaker 9: know the you know, for years I would say, you know,
Speaker 9: when the score was forty one, nothing, I said, it's
Speaker 9: not quite over. So it was. It was it was.
Speaker 9: It was fun to do it at that point, but
Speaker 9: now it's it's just overt.
Speaker 2: What's it like to talk to Harball, Jim Harball in
Speaker 2: those production meetings?
Speaker 9: Fun? Uh, and I've don't look. I've known Jim really
Speaker 9: well for thirty years and knew him as a as
Speaker 9: a quarterback of the National Football League. New him and
Speaker 9: he was in San Francisco. He's interesting, he's got a
Speaker 9: good turn of phrase. He's a lot of fun. His
Speaker 9: brother is one of my favorites of all time, John
Speaker 9: John is great in those meetings. There are so many
Speaker 9: coaches who are so good now like Mike Tomlin. Mike
Speaker 9: Tomlin is as good as anybody I've ever known in
Speaker 9: all of these years covering the NFL, not for thirty
Speaker 9: nine years. What Mike will do is he will answer
Speaker 9: your questions before you ask the question, which is so
Speaker 9: good you know, he'll get out and go okay, here's
Speaker 9: the rundown, and he will go to all the places
Speaker 9: that you want to go without you having to waste
Speaker 9: time asking him the questions. He's phenomenal. Sean McVay is phenomenal.
Speaker 9: Most of these guys are are terrific and Harboy certainly
Speaker 9: fits into that category, both both Harboys.
Speaker 2: All Right, if I said Sean McVay or Mike Tomlin
Speaker 2: as an analyst, take.
Speaker 9: Your pick man, either one they be. Each of those
Speaker 9: guys will be at some point if they want to
Speaker 9: do it, tremendous, tremendous because not only are they, you know,
Speaker 9: football savvy obviously, I mean that's that's a given, but
Speaker 9: they know how to put words together. Tomlin, through the years,
Speaker 9: you know, there were no cliches. And I said, even
Speaker 9: last night, at one point, you know, everybody would say
Speaker 9: running back by committee. It became such a banal kind
Speaker 9: of phrase. But Mike, you know, says distribution of labor.
Speaker 9: It's just got a different way of saying things. And
Speaker 9: I always felt that if I had a debate team,
Speaker 9: Mike Common would be my captain.
Speaker 2: Okay, but what advice do you give those who want
Speaker 2: to be an analyst?
Speaker 9: I would say, understand you read the room where you
Speaker 9: don't go too deep into the weeds, make the complicated
Speaker 9: more simple. You're not doing this game for people who
Speaker 9: know what a three technique tackle is, because one percent
Speaker 9: of the population would understand what that means. Explain what
Speaker 9: that means. But do it coachingly, have a little bit
Speaker 9: of a sense of humor. Don't overtalk. I mean, nobody
Speaker 9: ever got into trouble for shutting up. It's as simple
Speaker 9: as that. It's so that would be my advice. I've
Speaker 9: talked to a few people through the years about this,
Speaker 9: but the important thing is just kind of you know,
Speaker 9: don't you know, take your time. The replace is not
Speaker 9: going to go anywhere, So don't jump in, don't go
Speaker 9: wall to all and inject some humor. And the guys
Speaker 9: we're talking about, Tom Lennon McVay, will East be fantastic
Speaker 9: when they decided to do it.
Speaker 2: He's Al Michael's the Hall of Famer. On the call
Speaker 2: last night with Herbie. With the Broncos and the Chargers,
Speaker 2: that was a game that I thought the Chargers would
Speaker 2: normally lose because I thought the Broncos had him, and
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, you have that kick, that
Speaker 2: free kick at the end of the first town. Were
Speaker 2: you up on the rule when it happened.
Speaker 9: It's funny because I I had a game with the
Speaker 9: Cowboys a number of years ago, and they have tried
Speaker 9: that through the years a couple of times. In fact,
Speaker 9: Harbaugh tried like a seventy one yarder when he was
Speaker 9: with the forty nine ers. So I hadn't thought about
Speaker 9: that rule in a long time. But once it happened
Speaker 9: and I saw that everybody was talking to each other
Speaker 9: on the field and the officials were getting together, I said, yeah,
Speaker 9: I remember this now, and then you know it's a
Speaker 9: good thing. Terry McCauley, obviously, is is our guy. I
Speaker 9: went to Terry and then he could explain it. But
Speaker 9: you don't look. It has to happen since nineteen seventy six.
Speaker 9: And I don't know if you were watching last night,
Speaker 9: but Dan Fouts actually called our truck and talked to
Speaker 9: Steve Hurt, our information guru, and said, in nineteen seventy six,
Speaker 9: when Ray Wershing made that kick for San Diego, Founts
Speaker 9: had to tell the coach, Tommy prothrow that that was
Speaker 9: the rule. And so that's what happened forty eight years ago.
Speaker 2: You have a photographic memory, yes, but it's it's kind
Speaker 2: of crazy. When we were at the Olympics and I
Speaker 2: remember talking to you about Baltimore and Pittsburgh in the
Speaker 2: World Series, and you were giving me the day and
Speaker 2: the weather. Where does that come from.
Speaker 9: Well, the Baltimore Pittsburgh World Series was nineteen seventy nine.
Speaker 9: The weather was The weather was easy to remember because
Speaker 9: Howard Cosell came on the air in I think Game
Speaker 9: three in Pittsburgh when after two games in Baldemore with
Speaker 9: snow flurries, and Howard's opening line was welcome to the
Speaker 9: Winter Olympics. So that was an easy one to remember.
Speaker 9: I don't know, I'm somehow able to in my mind
Speaker 9: kind of go back and put my brain and my
Speaker 9: body in the in a physical presence at that point.
Speaker 9: You know, it's funny like a lot of people, you
Speaker 9: know that at this particular point in life where I
Speaker 9: probably have a better memory of stuff that happened in
Speaker 9: the seventies and eighties and nineties, and and you know
Speaker 9: what I had for breakfast yesterday? Weird?
Speaker 2: But are you like Joe Paterno? You know some of
Speaker 2: these coaches that coach until they die, Like, do you
Speaker 2: want to broadcast until you die? I mean, not to
Speaker 2: be morbid, but this is what you know. I remember
Speaker 2: this being told to like Belichick is going to coach
Speaker 2: probably till he dies.
Speaker 9: No, that's not important to me. What's important to me,
Speaker 9: is enjoying it. I think anybody in any line of
Speaker 9: work who's passed the regular what we considered to be
Speaker 9: a retirement age, I think, if you have a passion
Speaker 9: for what you do, keep going. And I do, and
Speaker 9: you know, my health is good enough right now. And
Speaker 9: I really I love what I do. I love it.
Speaker 9: I love going to the games. I love broadcasting the games.
Speaker 9: I work with some phenomenal people. I can't believe it's
Speaker 9: been three years now on Prime Video, and they put
Speaker 9: together a fantastic group and I love being with him
Speaker 9: and we have fun. Like we gathered last night after
Speaker 9: the game. You know, it's like nine o'clock, so, you know,
Speaker 9: West Coast game and we're all together having them, just
Speaker 9: having a blast afterwards. So Dan, as long as I
Speaker 9: have the passion for it, I'll continue. But I'm not
Speaker 9: sitting here going moh, I've got to do this so
Speaker 9: I die or I got it's just some kind of
Speaker 9: a broadcasting record.
Speaker 2: No, not at all, because like Hubie Brown, I mean,
Speaker 2: Hube's in his nineties right, and I think he's just retiring.
Speaker 9: Well, you know, Ulie was a partner of mine. I
Speaker 9: did the NBA for two years So the first year,
Speaker 9: three oh four season, I did it with Doc Rivers,
Speaker 9: and then Doc went back to coaching in Boston and
Speaker 9: I got Uie the next year. He was He was
Speaker 9: a lot of fun, a lot of fun, and God
Speaker 9: blessed that man. I mean, he's just he was a
Speaker 9: wonderful partner. And I guess he's going to retire this year,
Speaker 9: but God, I could listen to him forever.
Speaker 2: What's it like calling a game in you know, when
Speaker 2: when weather plays such a role that it might impede
Speaker 2: your ability to call a game.
Speaker 9: Well, it's funny because we did. Look, we did Pittsburgh
Speaker 9: Cleveland when it started as snow in the second half,
Speaker 9: so I really can't see what's going on, but we
Speaker 9: can enhance it the television picture. I mean, I've got
Speaker 9: to call the game off the TV picture. He's looking
Speaker 9: at it live. You can't see any of the yard lines,
Speaker 9: but we can superimpose or whatever the phrase would be,
Speaker 9: the yard line. So that's how you call that game.
Speaker 9: But people love that and as snow game, that's one
Speaker 9: of the games, one of the few games that through
Speaker 9: the years. The rating actually I think went a little
Speaker 9: bit up in the second half because normally, you know,
Speaker 9: in the East Coast, a lot of people are going
Speaker 9: to bed at halftime, it's ten thirty whatever. It is
Speaker 9: good at that particular moment in time. But that particular game,
Speaker 9: I think people would tune in and go, wow, this
Speaker 9: is pretty terrific, and they watched all the way through it.
Speaker 9: It's a great game that went all the way to
Speaker 9: the end.
Speaker 2: Can the NFL give us too much?
Speaker 9: NFL? I would have thought so, but here we go.
Speaker 9: I mean it's you know, I'm not certain that Tuesday
Speaker 9: morning football at three am wouldn't work. I mean, people
Speaker 9: just can't seem to get enough of it. When you
Speaker 9: look at what one hundred shows that are rated by
Speaker 9: Nielsen West year in ninety three or ninety four of
Speaker 9: the National Football League, I don't know what's enough. If
Speaker 9: he goes down to the eighty seven of one hundred,
Speaker 9: maybe you know you're slipping a little bit. But Dan,
Speaker 9: you know as well as I do. I mean, Netflix
Speaker 9: two games Christmas Day. There's always a game, it seems
Speaker 9: a game on television, and people they love it. I
Speaker 9: understand it because it is the most dramatic thing on
Speaker 9: television unscripted, fantastic and the National Football League, you know,
Speaker 9: is just full of drama. You don't know what's going
Speaker 9: to happen, and that's I think why we love it
Speaker 9: so much we do now. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 9: know when you reach the breaking point, but you would
Speaker 9: think by now we've gotten there, and we haven't.
Speaker 2: If the NBA reached out, if Commissioner Silver reached out
Speaker 2: and said, wow, what do you think of our product
Speaker 2: and what would you do moving forward?
Speaker 9: I think he understands what's going on right now. I
Speaker 9: think everybody's talking about you know, it's a three point game,
Speaker 9: a three point shooting game and all that stuff. I
Speaker 9: don't know what the answer is, but every sport has
Speaker 9: this issue too. Baseball has its issues, obviously, the NBA
Speaker 9: has its issues right now. Hockey kind of tweaks things.
Speaker 9: The NFL has been able to tweak a few things.
Speaker 9: I don't have the answer. I mean, that's why you know,
Speaker 9: Goodell and Silver and Betman and Manfred get the you know,
Speaker 9: the money they get or you know, that's that's their job.
Speaker 9: Their job is to figure this thing out. But on balance,
Speaker 9: you know, people still love it. So I know the
Speaker 9: NBA ratings have leaked a little bit. I think part
Speaker 9: of it has to has to do probably with the
Speaker 9: fact that you know, maybe they want people want to
Speaker 9: see more basketball the way it was played. I'm not
Speaker 9: sure they do, though, I don't know, Dan, I don't
Speaker 9: know if they if I had the answer of it,
Speaker 9: let you know. But I mean to me, you don't
Speaker 9: need any tremendous new iteration of it or involvement of something.
Speaker 9: A tweak here and there is, but I'm not quite
Speaker 9: sure what it is.
Speaker 2: Can you see load management coming to the NFL?
Speaker 9: No, because I think, you know, I think I think
Speaker 9: that would be a very bad thing. Guys are hurt it.
Speaker 9: I mean, look, there are enough injuries. Guys are playing
Speaker 9: through injuries to begin with. No, I think, you know,
Speaker 9: somebody wants to go to a game. They want to
Speaker 9: see the team that they are buying tickets to s
Speaker 9: and not some sort of you know, uh, small small sample,
Speaker 9: small part of what it is that their team is
Speaker 9: supposed to be providing. I don't see it even if
Speaker 9: you go to a team games. I think, look, I
Speaker 9: think there's load management within the games these days too.
Speaker 9: A coach, you know, if a running back needs to
Speaker 9: have a little bit more time to get fully healed.
Speaker 9: Maybe he won't carry twenty times, maybe he will carry
Speaker 9: seven or eight. So there's load management right now. I
Speaker 9: think within the game.
Speaker 2: Great to talk to you as always, Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 9: I wish you I'd sing all lang zign to you,
Speaker 9: but I forgot the words can polgraphic memory, but I
Speaker 9: forgot the words of all length time?
Speaker 2: Can you sing?
Speaker 9: Can I sing? Hell?
Speaker 10: No?

Speaker 2: rack dot com, the official tire expert of The Dan
Speaker 2: Patrick Show. He garnered thirty six percent of the vote your.

Speaker 2: Seatan's whistle. Yeah, I really enjoy it personally. Back to you, okay,
Speaker 2: so if I say and he garnered thirty six percent
Speaker 2: of the votes, sod fritz is the most valuable nut
Speaker 2: the least valuable Danet. He garnered just eighteen percent of
Speaker 2: the vote, so it went Fritzie with thirty six percent.
Speaker 2: This guy got half the votes. Say hello to Paul
Speaker 2: pa well deserved.
Speaker 5: Fam, I'm on the podium getting something deserved. Do I
Speaker 5: get like a tire tire?

Speaker 2: Yeah that was weeks. How do you think I'm giving
Speaker 2: these tires away to Fritzy?
Speaker 8: Okay?
Speaker 2: Yeah uber home Uh okay, so uh Fritzy had thirty
Speaker 2: six percent seat and had twenty four Marvin had twenty
Speaker 2: three percent, then Paully at eighteen percent. We also have
Speaker 2: a pie bet to pay off. Should we do that
Speaker 2: now for the audience or do we do it in
Speaker 2: the plus block? Do we want to do that after

Speaker 6: and then I don't have to be covered and all
Speaker 6: that stuff while we're wrapping up the lift seg.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the people on radio don't get to experience
