Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour on this Wednesday. Got some breaking
Speaker 1: news here from Forbes dot com. Dan Snyder hires Bank
Speaker 1: of America to sell the Washington Commanders. Don't have a
Speaker 1: second source on it, but Forbes dot com is reporting
Speaker 1: that that Dan Snyder has hired somebody to help him
Speaker 1: sell the Commanders. Got other information, Paulie, Yeah, it's hard
Speaker 1: because this Forbes story is behind a paywall. But the
Speaker 1: second paragraphs as according to someone familiar with the process,
Speaker 1: Daniel Snyder already has at least four calls from groups
Speaker 1: interested buying the team. Snyder and his bankers are exploring
Speaker 1: all options. Keep in mind the latest deal for a team,
Speaker 1: Rob Walton. He spent four point six five billion in
Speaker 1: early August. Forbes values the Commanders at five point six billion.
Speaker 1: That's sixth among the league's thirty two teams. Now, you
Speaker 1: do have location to factor in, but as far as
Speaker 1: what he's done for this team, I'm surprised that they're
Speaker 1: the sixth most valuable team franchise among the thirty two teams.
Speaker 1: He also owns the field as well, FedEx Field. That's
Speaker 1: and the two hundred and sixty four acres around it,
Speaker 1: as well as one hundred and fifty acres at the
Speaker 1: team's headquarters in Virginia. Yes, Polly, do you it seems
Speaker 1: to be this is a pretty shocking story. But the
Speaker 1: past couple months or so has been a lot of
Speaker 1: heat on Daniel Snyder. Do you think he got an
Speaker 1: inkling that there may be an owner vote in the
Speaker 1: off season that's pending and wants to beat the rush
Speaker 1: and choose to leave. I don't know. It feels like
Speaker 1: whenever we think there's something amiss, something's going on, something's
Speaker 1: going to happen with Daniel Snyder, he just goes on
Speaker 1: his yacht in the south of France and then waits
Speaker 1: till it all blows over. Also, keep in mind, you
Speaker 1: know when they change their name from the Redskins the
Speaker 1: Washington football team. First of all, I thought why not
Speaker 1: do it just you know, from a selfish perspective of
Speaker 1: look at all the revenue I can make. I thought
Speaker 1: Daniel Snyder would look at it that way. They had
Speaker 1: a forty percent surge in revenue this season when they
Speaker 1: changed to the Commanders. There they also have the biggest
Speaker 1: sponsorship deal ever with SeatGeek so there's a lot of
Speaker 1: things in play here with this Washington football team. Commanders
Speaker 1: also looking to find a location for a new stadium.
Speaker 1: And I'll go back this has been years ago when
Speaker 1: I was told by somebody with the NFL they were
Speaker 1: going to make Daniel Snyder if he was going to
Speaker 1: get a new stadium and move closer to Washington, DC,
Speaker 1: that he had to change the nickname. Well, he's changed
Speaker 1: the nickname and he's looking for a new stadium, or
Speaker 1: at least he was. But why now? I think it's
Speaker 1: a great question. What is happening, what could be happening?
Speaker 1: Or is Daniel Snyder just ready to go? That's it.
Speaker 1: I'm going to close up shop here, move on and
Speaker 1: take his billions with him. Some of the other headlines.
Speaker 1: Then we'll bring in Frank A. Sola to talk about
Speaker 1: what's going on with the Nets, who put up a
Speaker 1: spirited performance last night against the Bulls in Brooklyn. Phillies
Speaker 1: rolled the Astros. They hit five home runs in the
Speaker 1: first five innings. They're up to one. The Dolphins getting
Speaker 1: Bradley Chubb t J. Hockinson to the Vikings, Chase Claypool
Speaker 1: goes to the Bears and in case you're wondering how
Speaker 1: impactful these trades were. Miami is now thirty to one
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl. That's up from thirty five
Speaker 1: to one. The Ravens no change whatsoever, eighteen to one
Speaker 1: after picking up Roquan Smith from Chicago. The Vikings started
Speaker 1: out the season forty to one. The Vikings are now
Speaker 1: eighteen to one, and they picked up T. J. Hawkinson
Speaker 1: from Detroit. Yeah, Paul, there's a little bit of a
Speaker 1: qualifier in here. Albert Brewer, our buddy, went through the
Speaker 1: story Forbes on Daniel Snyder. Ye quote, transaction could be
Speaker 1: for the entire NFL team or a minority state, So
Speaker 1: that does not necessarily mean he's completely selling the team
Speaker 1: could catch by Albert Brier. Stat of the Day brought
Speaker 1: to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of
Speaker 1: the Dan Patrick Show. Sunday Night, Derrick Henry Titans face
Speaker 1: off against Patrick Mahomes in The Chiefs seven Eastern on
Speaker 1: NBC and Peacock Frank Asla, the net studio host and
Speaker 1: Sirius XM NBA Radio the starting lineup, and a contributor
Speaker 1: to Around the Horn. Pardon the interruption, Where do you
Speaker 1: want to start? Frank, I think we should start here.
Speaker 1: I need to work on this show as well, because
Speaker 1: I'm just like your crew. I don't subscribe to some
Speaker 1: of these you know, websites and accounts. So you guys
Speaker 1: are only reading up to where it starts, where it
Speaker 1: says you have to subscribe. How great, So there was
Speaker 1: some huge breaking story. I love how you guys started
Speaker 1: out there. If anybody else has read the rest of
Speaker 1: the story, can you kind of call in and tell
Speaker 1: us what it's calling out? That is absolutely brilliant. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's cost cutting measures here, Frank. You know I don't
Speaker 1: work for ESPN anymore. It's behind a paywall. Guys, you
Speaker 1: can't say the rest of the store. We just saw
Speaker 1: the data side. We think he wants to sell the team.
Speaker 1: That's great, all right, help me understand. Let me play
Speaker 1: it for everybody. Here. Here's Kevin Durant being asked the
Speaker 1: question yesterday, when did you find out about Steve? How
Speaker 1: were you informed about one fifteen? I woke up from
Speaker 1: my nap and turned to the right and saying on
Speaker 1: ESPN and what were your I mean initial reaction. I mean,
Speaker 1: everybody knows what's what went on this summer, but What
Speaker 1: was your first thought when you saw that? Oh? Shocked.
Speaker 1: I mean you always shocked when a move like this happens.
Speaker 1: But it's normal in the NBA, you know, So it's
Speaker 1: about getting ready for the game tonight. So it's a
Speaker 1: quick termer always in the league, you know, especially during
Speaker 1: the season. You know you got practice games coming up,
Speaker 1: so you can't think too much about it. But it
Speaker 1: was on a mindful a little bit today. Yeah, how
Speaker 1: could he be shocked? I'm shocked that he shocked because
Speaker 1: he wanted this guy fired in the offseason. Do you
Speaker 1: think Nets management ran this by Kevin Durant? Oh? Come on.
Speaker 1: If they didn't, he clearly made it, made it known
Speaker 1: the summer, and Brian Lewis from the New York Post
Speaker 1: was one to ask that question. I like Brian, but
Speaker 1: I really don't care what Kevin Durant was. It wasn't
Speaker 1: where were you when man landed on the Moon? I
Speaker 1: don't care what Kevin Durant was doing. And to use
Speaker 1: the word shock, come on now, Kevin. Over the summer,
Speaker 1: the report came out that you said, Sean Marks the GM,
Speaker 1: Steve Nash, the head coach, go or I go one
Speaker 1: or the other. Then they all came together and said, well,
Speaker 1: that's not going to happen. But come on, Dan, we've
Speaker 1: been doing this for a long time. When a superstar
Speaker 1: player comes out and says something like that, the clock
Speaker 1: is clearly ticking. You start off under Steve Nash two
Speaker 1: and five, You cannot tell me that you're shocked, and
Speaker 1: then choking up to well this is normally in an NBA.
Speaker 1: Really is it really a norm? It happens all the
Speaker 1: time where a star player first demands to be traded,
Speaker 1: then when that's not going to work out, he says,
Speaker 1: we'll tell you what, get rid of the coach and
Speaker 1: the GM, then I'll come back. So Kevin Durant being
Speaker 1: slightly disingenuous there. I just wish someone had said to him,
Speaker 1: do you feel like what you did over the summer
Speaker 1: contributed at the very least to Steve Nash being fired?
Speaker 1: Because we all know that it did. Come on, I
Speaker 1: would like for them to take some owner ship here.
Speaker 1: I know it's not going to happen, but you know,
Speaker 1: just say, look, you know it didn't work out. We
Speaker 1: wanted him here, and you know part of the I'll
Speaker 1: take part of the blame. Like I love I'd love
Speaker 1: for one of these guys to just do that, but they,
Speaker 1: you know, they push it away. Um. You know, then
Speaker 1: you got the Kyrie situation. They didn't even let him,
Speaker 1: let him get in front of the media yesterday. How
Speaker 1: does this play out with the Nets and or the
Speaker 1: NBA with with Kyrie? And to your point too about
Speaker 1: the accountability, always say, you know, the great thing about
Speaker 1: player of empowerment is you know, you get to call
Speaker 1: all the shots, but you're never held accountable when when
Speaker 1: the whole thing falls apart. And that's kind of where
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant certainly are right now. I
Speaker 1: don't know it's gonna play out if it's gonna be
Speaker 1: emay A Dooke, and I get it. He coached here
Speaker 1: for one year and Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving. From everything
Speaker 1: that we've heard, they like emay Adoca, I felt like
Speaker 1: they like Steve Nash and back Monday night against Indiana,
Speaker 1: the Nets played really well. I had heard that on
Speaker 1: Saturday night after they were terrible against Indiana, Steve Nash
Speaker 1: really lit into the players, including Kevin Durant. It was
Speaker 1: a little back fourth there. So this idea that he
Speaker 1: lost the locker room, then they wouldn't have competed like
Speaker 1: that on Monday night against Indiana. But to me, this
Speaker 1: is a hail mary by the organization for Emay Yudoka.
Speaker 1: Let's see if he could save the season. It's still
Speaker 1: only November two, so you know, guys that were signed
Speaker 1: over the summer, they become eligibly betrayed. You know, it's
Speaker 1: either starts December fifteenth or in January. So I still
Speaker 1: think there's a chance that something can happen. They'll revisit
Speaker 1: all those teams, Phoenix, Miami, who knows, maybe the Golden
Speaker 1: State Warriors. So I think all that stuff with Kevin
Speaker 1: Durant is going to start up again, especially if the
Speaker 1: Nets continue on this path with it right now one
Speaker 1: of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference. We know
Speaker 1: that you can't just have this transaction where you go,
Speaker 1: we're gonna fire a coach and then we're gonna hire
Speaker 1: a coach, and you do that over forty eight or
Speaker 1: seventy two hours. How long has this been in the
Speaker 1: works do you think behind the scene? You know, And
Speaker 1: it's a great point. I said the same thing. You know,
Speaker 1: who knows when they first how do you know that
Speaker 1: when they first suspended the Celtics suspended Emay Yudoka, the
Speaker 1: Nets didn't reach out, then that's very possible. You cannot
Speaker 1: tell me that over the last forty eight hours, you
Speaker 1: fired Steve Nash, you contacted the Boston Celtics, which is
Speaker 1: a complicated situation, and you almost have an agreement in
Speaker 1: place with Emaya Dooka. I'm not buying that. So clearly
Speaker 1: this has been something that's been going on for a while.
Speaker 1: Could it have been as far back as last week
Speaker 1: could have been, you know, Saturday night after the lost
Speaker 1: Indiana Perhaps it started then. But the wheels have been
Speaker 1: turning on something like this because it's a very unique situation.
Speaker 1: That guy's currently suspended by his own team for a
Speaker 1: full season he served. Right now, I think it's about
Speaker 1: thirty thirty one days, and it looks like he could
Speaker 1: be coaching the Nets at some point this weekend or
Speaker 1: maybe next week. I don't understand how the Celtics can go, Oh,
Speaker 1: you like you want him. He was coaching the year
Speaker 1: for us. You can have him. We don't want any
Speaker 1: compensation like that would really concern me if I'm a
Speaker 1: Celtic fan, you have all the leverage here, why not
Speaker 1: just say we want a first round pick for the
Speaker 1: guy who was the coach of the year. Granted he suspended,
Speaker 1: But if I'm the Nets and I'm getting Udoka, do
Speaker 1: I know exactly what happened with the Boston Celtics with
Speaker 1: that relationship, And I think part of it too is
Speaker 1: getting off of his money, so now you don't have
Speaker 1: to worry about negotiating a buy out with him, which
Speaker 1: I think that was probably the net or a settlement.
Speaker 1: I should say that was going to be the situation
Speaker 1: with emay Yudoka. But to your point, and now I
Speaker 1: think the Celtics could this could cause some trouble in
Speaker 1: their locker room as well, because Emayyadoka obviously popular with
Speaker 1: the players there, especially the star players Jason Tatum, Jalen Brown,
Speaker 1: Marcus Smart. Wouldn't they be saying, well, hang on a second,
Speaker 1: he can't coach our team, but he's allowed to go
Speaker 1: coach a team in our division, a team that we
Speaker 1: lost it two years ago in the playoffs, and he
Speaker 1: gets to coach Kevin Duran and Kyrie Irving now, but
Speaker 1: he can't coach us. We just went to a finals
Speaker 1: that doesn't make any sense. When does the NBA engage
Speaker 1: with Kyrie Irving here? I don't know. It seemed like
Speaker 1: they were a little late on it. I mean they
Speaker 1: did come out and release a statement last week. Kyrie
Speaker 1: Irving's name was not included in this statement. Also, the
Speaker 1: players association with Leas's statement, I think it was yesterday.
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving's name was not mentioned in the statement. I
Speaker 1: just don't understand why Kyrie Irving. I have a funny
Speaker 1: feeling that he didn't watch the entire documentary. Why he
Speaker 1: just doesn't come out and say I heard about this,
Speaker 1: about this documentary, what my friend or what I read
Speaker 1: about it. I had no idea it included all these things.
Speaker 1: He didn't apologize, Frank and you know and Dan. The
Speaker 1: problem is if he apologized and explained it like that,
Speaker 1: I think most people would say, yeah, I understand, and
Speaker 1: people want to be forgiving. Instead, he's digging his heels
Speaker 1: and except he did take the post down, the social
Speaker 1: media post, and in the way that he played last night,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe he heard what Charles Brockley in
Speaker 1: The Gang was saying about him during the pregame. Because
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving had played very well up until last night.
Speaker 1: Last night he was completely out of it. Did not
Speaker 1: score a point until the fourth quarter. He just wasn't himself.
Speaker 1: So clearly the pressure, the pressure and the stress of
Speaker 1: everything that's going on. I think it is finally getting
Speaker 1: to him. Great to talk to you is always Frank.
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us. Good seeing you, guys. Take Frank Eisola,
Speaker 1: the net studio host on Yes also Serious x M
Speaker 1: NBA Radio, the starting lineup and contributor to Around the
Speaker 1: Horn And pardon the interruption. Uh, you know sometimes when
Speaker 1: I'm too old. That's the problem when you're trying to
Speaker 1: figure out younger athletes, what they do, what they don't do,
Speaker 1: why they do it, why they don't do it. You know,
Speaker 1: they all want to have involvement in things. I'm a
Speaker 1: star player, I get am I going to play? I'm
Speaker 1: not going to play. I want to play a sort
Speaker 1: of one play I got. It gets tiring because I
Speaker 1: was fortunate to grow up in a time where players
Speaker 1: played not And I understand you want to rest your body,
Speaker 1: you want to do all of this and long term
Speaker 1: and all the money. I understand all of that, but
Speaker 1: at some point play take accountability. Here be a man.
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with saying, hey, my bad, Hey I apologize,
Speaker 1: Hey I screwed up. I know that. You know, not
Speaker 1: many people like doing that now, but I'd love to
Speaker 1: hear it where somebody just says my bad instead of
Speaker 1: you just blow through the stop sign. You're like, I
Speaker 1: didn't see it. I just you want athletes to play.
Speaker 1: You want to know what you're buying when you go
Speaker 1: see them play. You want them to play hard, they care.
Speaker 1: There's no guarantees anymore with that. Yeah, that's kind of
Speaker 1: the rough part about the NBA. Like I was taking
Speaker 1: my son to go see the Lakers against the Nets.
Speaker 1: I bought tickets the day of because I didn't know
Speaker 1: if Lebron James will be playing that night. Sure I
Speaker 1: had to. I will wait the day of and I'll
Speaker 1: just buy tickets for you know, however much more it costs.
Speaker 1: But you just don't know. And then I wonder if
Speaker 1: are the Nets gonna do anything? The Nets look bad
Speaker 1: with Kyrie Irvin. I'm waiting for the NBA, but the
Speaker 1: NBA might be waiting for the Nets to do something here. Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: I want to go back to what Marvin said about Lebron.
Speaker 1: Lebron's like thirty eight years old. There's twenty five year
Speaker 1: olds who are doing load management. Like if Lebron takes
Speaker 1: a game off, that's almost understandable, and you know it
Speaker 1: is a risk, and he's the biggest star in the
Speaker 1: last generation. But when you see twenty five year olds
Speaker 1: doing load management, other guys not playing and not playing
Speaker 1: for different reasons that you're not really sure true or not,
Speaker 1: and taking seasons off and demanding traits, Lebron James is
Speaker 1: a breath of fresh air in this category. He plays
Speaker 1: heavy minutes when he plays. Now he doesn't miss somebody yet.
Speaker 1: No one's got more mileage in NBA history, But it
Speaker 1: means something. It feels like to him that he wants
Speaker 1: to play. He wants to prove that at his age
Speaker 1: he can still play with the younger players. You know,
Speaker 1: the Clippers were the preseason favorites, and I said, well,
Speaker 1: I got a factor in Kawai. I don't know how
Speaker 1: healthy he's going to be. I think they have a
Speaker 1: really good roster. I don't have known. You know what's
Speaker 1: Kawhi played two games so far. We start to look
Speaker 1: do the math here that ain't good and I don't
Speaker 1: know if we're getting to the point where, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe we should start talking about the end of Ka
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard. Yeah, mor And if the Clippers don't win
Speaker 1: a championship, Steve bamb Is gonna be like, wait, you paid,
Speaker 1: you played sixty games for you guys to lose in
Speaker 1: the Western Conference finals or the finals, Like, look, you're
Speaker 1: taking these days off because we think you're gonna bring
Speaker 1: us a championship. That's the reason why we put up
Speaker 1: with you taking all these days off. Yeah, pulling Kawhi
Speaker 1: Leonard maybe have one of those injuries that just never
Speaker 1: responds and he becomes You remember a Mari Stodemeyer, he
Speaker 1: just became a different player. Or Larry Johnson with his
Speaker 1: back and I know there's a knee it's different than
Speaker 1: but some players lose the explosiveness and just some surgeries
Speaker 1: don't work. Like you said, why are they always successful?
Speaker 1: Sometimes they're not. Yeah, you know, I've had surgeries, but
Speaker 1: nobody ever says, hey, it's six assful. I'm the one
Speaker 1: that probably decides if it's going to be successful with
Speaker 1: what I do after I've had surgery. Obj has had
Speaker 1: two surgeries on that knee, and we just assume at
Speaker 1: age thirty he's going to be able to come back
Speaker 1: and be ob J and I would have a buyer
Speaker 1: beware approach with this as wonderful as he can be
Speaker 1: at age thirty and two surgeries. ACL No, no thanks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a different sport, but you know, David Bactieri was
Speaker 1: a pro bowler. I think once they all was all Pro.
Speaker 1: His last season he played. And he's just not coming back.
Speaker 1: It's like every week he's probable and then they scratch him.
Speaker 1: For the Packers, he's a great offensive linement, but he's
Speaker 1: in his prime and it's just he did not respond
Speaker 1: to the surgeries. We're gonna talk to Marcelvis Wiley, the
Speaker 1: former NFL Pro Bowl defensive end. Why didn't the Packers
Speaker 1: make a move and the Cowboys didn't pull the trigger
Speaker 1: on Brandon Cooks. You have a window of opportunity to
Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl and management maybe failed Aaron Rodgers again,
Speaker 1: we'll take a break back after this Dan Patrick show.
Speaker 1: I've got energy wall to wall, start to finish. Why
Speaker 1: m drive and you can have this and holiday season,

Speaker 1: to It podcast on Dan Patrick podcast at work. He'll
Speaker 1: join us in a moment. His interview this week is
Speaker 1: with a former teammate led Dainian Tomlinson, and here's a
Speaker 1: clip where LT talks about reuniting with his father. You
Speaker 1: reconcile your relationship. What's your father talk about mending that
Speaker 1: fence and how it all came full circle playing ball
Speaker 1: Daddy and I back with a great relationship and heading
Speaker 1: to the league. Man that it was. It was one
Speaker 1: of the greatest moments in my life. Not understanding much
Speaker 1: about my father now, So understand my father was older,
Speaker 1: you know, he was let me do the mad forty
Speaker 1: late forties. Yeah, so when he had me, he was
Speaker 1: late forties. So I didn't get a chance to really
Speaker 1: know him, know him until I got to college and
Speaker 1: I can go back, you know, home and visit him.
Speaker 1: And we used to sit on that porch. Marcellis man,
Speaker 1: my pops just sit on the porch and talk. And
Speaker 1: I got a chance to understand a lot about myself.
Speaker 1: Talking to him. That's LT and it's the latest podcast
Speaker 1: from Marcellis Walley more too. It is the title with
Speaker 1: Marcellis Walley wherever you listen to podcast on so Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick dot com. Marcellis joins us on the program again.
Speaker 1: Give me the move yesterday that happened or didn't happen
Speaker 1: where you went things that make you go man. A
Speaker 1: lot of chips are getting pushed into the middle, a
Speaker 1: lot of teams are going all in. You gotta love
Speaker 1: what you see out of these Miami Dolphins right now
Speaker 1: in a situation where they feel like they have what
Speaker 1: they need to get over the hump. And when you
Speaker 1: go out there and you get a pass rusher and
Speaker 1: you get a guy as tremendous as they did, all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you start to look at this team
Speaker 1: and you start to see how complete it looks. I've
Speaker 1: always been a believer in tour, never understood why he
Speaker 1: didn't have enough equity in terms of being a potential
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. Obviously got a little derailed this year because
Speaker 1: of the concussion and everything that happened earlier, but this
Speaker 1: team believes in him now to the point where now
Speaker 1: they're pushing their chips in the middle and say, let's
Speaker 1: get over this arm. Okay, but if I compare Miami
Speaker 1: to Buffalo, Now, how does Miami compare after adding Bradley Tump? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean Buffaloes are better team. I was answering the
Speaker 1: question to the terms of which team did the best
Speaker 1: to improve their chances. But look at Buffalo, They're already close,
Speaker 1: if not the favorite to win it all been scratching
Speaker 1: at it, clawing at it. Obviously, Casey has been a
Speaker 1: barrier for them, but Buffalo seems like the team that's
Speaker 1: poised to do it, not only because of their issues
Speaker 1: of coming up just so short, but also the fact
Speaker 1: that they still added talent and Josh Allen's playing at
Speaker 1: MVP level. Packers didn't do anything, But why are we
Speaker 1: surprised that they didn't do anything. They don't do anything.
Speaker 1: They're in the draft for Aaron Rodgers. Why would we
Speaker 1: think they were gonna do something at the trade deadline?
Speaker 1: You know, I think that's the greatness of Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: that makes us always think that something else is around
Speaker 1: the corner, whether it's every single draft you're waiting for
Speaker 1: that receiver to get drafted, and they never do it
Speaker 1: in the first round, early rounds, and then you say, well,
Speaker 1: it's Aaron Rodgers. He'll make up for the difference. And
Speaker 1: then even for this the trade deadline, you're thinking, oh,
Speaker 1: they're gonna do something, Oh they are doing it. Well,
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers will make up the difference. It's something about
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers in that building and his command. Obviously we
Speaker 1: know he's eating up a ton of that salary cap
Speaker 1: and it's four MVPs, and his greatness as a Super
Speaker 1: Bowl champion. But sometimes I think it gets exaggerated. They're
Speaker 1: thinking a little too much about Aaron Rodgers and him
Speaker 1: fixing all problems. Yeah, but I wonder what that's like
Speaker 1: when Brian Goodakoon's the GM passes Aaron Rodgers in the
Speaker 1: hallway today, Well, I think Brian gets out the way
Speaker 1: more than Aaron gets out of his way. I've seen
Speaker 1: that before. I remember the days where Marty Schottenheimer and
Speaker 1: his greatness and he was a San Diego Charger coach
Speaker 1: fourteen and two, but him and the general manager and
Speaker 1: AJ Smith has such a beef that when they saw
Speaker 1: each other in the hallway, they immediately would go back
Speaker 1: into their offices like they couldn't even walk down the
Speaker 1: hallway at the same time. Let's just say that that
Speaker 1: organization at that time wasn't functional. And Chase Claypool, he
Speaker 1: looks like he's great, he's just not great. And now
Speaker 1: he goes to the Bears. I thought that might be
Speaker 1: the Packers might look at taking Chase, you know, making
Speaker 1: a trade with you for Chase Claypool. Yeah. I'm a
Speaker 1: big believer in Chase Claypool, but I've always been fooled
Speaker 1: by the talent lens. Like I just look at an
Speaker 1: athlete and the tangibles just jump out at you to
Speaker 1: the point where you're like, he's big, he's fast, you
Speaker 1: can catch you run good routes, like that's the man.
Speaker 1: But he's had some issues in terms of focus and
Speaker 1: distractions that I think Pittsburgh said enough is enough. Let's
Speaker 1: get rid of him while the talent is there still
Speaker 1: and we can see the other teams still five value
Speaker 1: in him. We're talking to Marcella's Whiley, the former NFL
Speaker 1: defensive end and host of More to It, the podcast
Speaker 1: on the Dan Patrick Network. We talk about OBJ as
Speaker 1: if OBJ is going to come back and he's going
Speaker 1: to change the team, He's had two surgeries on that
Speaker 1: same knee, and at that position with what he relies on,
Speaker 1: what exactly would you expect whoever picks up ob J
Speaker 1: for the second half of the season. What are they
Speaker 1: getting one? They're getting energy. The thing about ob J,
Speaker 1: he plays his best when he's in the room. His energy,
Speaker 1: the osmosis of that energy is contagious, like everyone feels it.
Speaker 1: Everyone believes in his higher potential. He's one of those
Speaker 1: guys because he's made those highlight plays. He became a
Speaker 1: superstar in the NFL, and you could count those guys
Speaker 1: on two hands. He became one of the guys that
Speaker 1: everyone looked up to in some form or fashion of like, wow,
Speaker 1: he's killing it. When that guy's on your roster and
Speaker 1: he still looks like a semblance of that, you believe
Speaker 1: in it. It's just that simple. Until he proves you wrong,
Speaker 1: you're always gonna give him the benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 1: So what, ob J? I still think you're gonna get
Speaker 1: some potential. This is a dude. Last time healthy was
Speaker 1: about to win the Super Bowl MVP but then got injured.
Speaker 1: So I think they still believe in him. Why is
Speaker 1: it every surgery on an athlete is successful because you're
Speaker 1: listening to the doctor. He has business to run. Every
Speaker 1: single time he cuts you open and then he closes
Speaker 1: you up and you're not bleeding anymore. Success. That's it.
Speaker 1: How many surgeries did you have? I think like nine?
Speaker 1: Um back, a domino, wall, shoulder, achilles foot um Uh?
Speaker 1: Did I say my about six? About six tasilias doesn't count?
Speaker 1: Is that a lot though? For an NFL players? Six surgeries? Um?
Speaker 1: I would say it's about for a guy who started,
Speaker 1: who got some reps in there, a little below average
Speaker 1: maybe average. But the thing is I had horrible timing. Uh.
Speaker 1: Mine came first year, starter, contract year, and my prime.
Speaker 1: Like they were like, oh, while he's amaze. Damn that's
Speaker 1: what happened. Yeah. People I always say when you know,
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, it's minor surgery. Minor surgery is when
Speaker 1: it's on somebody else. Yes, Yes, it's crazy because man,
Speaker 1: every time you go under. This is the toughest part
Speaker 1: about surgery. It's not your injury, it's not your surgery,
Speaker 1: it's not even your rehab. The toughest part is getting
Speaker 1: back on that field and playing with the same trust
Speaker 1: and recklessness as you did before. So that six gear,
Speaker 1: that Ferrari six gear that you rarely touched when you
Speaker 1: were in the zone, when you had the glow, Bruce
Speaker 1: Lee Roy. When you're that guy and then you get hurt,
Speaker 1: you have to climb back up that heel that mountain. Physically, surgery, rehab,
Speaker 1: but mentally is the hardest part to plant that flag
Speaker 1: back and say I'm back. Most guys don't get back
Speaker 1: to that place. Somehow, some way, some fear kicks in.
Speaker 1: We had a conversation and last hour with Mike Tannenbaum,
Speaker 1: former gym in the NFL. They said, you can start
Speaker 1: your team with anybody. Let's take away all the quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: Is it obvious who you would start your team with?
Speaker 1: No quarter Wow, non quarterback. Aaron Donald just jumped in
Speaker 1: my head and he took up most of space. T J.
Speaker 1: Watt jumped in my head. He took up most of space.
Speaker 1: M Michael Parsons, Michael Parsons amazing. Yeah, I've seen more
Speaker 1: from those other guys than Michael Parsons, but hey, Michael
Speaker 1: Parsons as well. I certainly would go defender and more
Speaker 1: than likely an edge rusher. I wouldn't be fooled by
Speaker 1: a receiver, because the receiver is a dependent position. You
Speaker 1: need your quarterback. I wouldn't be thinking running back obviously
Speaker 1: not the same impact. It will be a defender one
Speaker 1: of those three names, but probably Aaron Donald, Moore, TJ.
Speaker 1: Watt about Myles Garrett, he's a monster. He's a lot
Speaker 1: to deal with. Or that side still has the quickest
Speaker 1: get off in the NFL as they time it unreal.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's the Cleveland effect, like they just don't get
Speaker 1: over the humps, something about he doesn't make the same
Speaker 1: impact plays when they count the most, as I've seen
Speaker 1: from T. J. Watt and Aaron Donald. Your current MVP
Speaker 1: is I mean Josh Allen last game kind of made
Speaker 1: me say, should I keep saying he's playing at MVP level?
Speaker 1: But look, he's already set a standard right now, and
Speaker 1: because Buffalo is playing so well, I would say all
Speaker 1: things consider Josh Allen. Look look at Jalen Hurst right now.
Speaker 1: He's like, dude, I'm I'm perfect, Like my team is perfect.
Speaker 1: I know it's not all because of me, but everyone
Speaker 1: said this team would fail or succeed based on Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 1: Well they're perfect. I'm blemished. Gotta be Jalen Hurst in
Speaker 1: that conversation as well, more likely to make the playoffs
Speaker 1: the Rams of the Chargers rule charges. I say, Chargers,
Speaker 1: they don't have the hangover effect that the Rams are
Speaker 1: dealing with, on top of some feudal play, on top
Speaker 1: of Matthew Stafford's not completely healthy right now, Stow with
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert and his team getting healthy, Keenan Allen's back,
Speaker 1: you start to look get Bolsa back later in this season.
Speaker 1: I say the Chargers make a late run. The best
Speaker 1: quarterback performance you ever witnessed up close was turned in
Speaker 1: by who oh Man, Dante Calpepper, Early, Randy Moss, Chris Carter.
Speaker 1: I think it's Randy Moss's rookie year when he had
Speaker 1: seventeen testdowns, and I remember a prep for that game,
Speaker 1: coach was saying, Randy Moss is faster than you see
Speaker 1: on film. And then we were like, yeah, okay, he's
Speaker 1: a rookie. Like no one gave him that much credit.
Speaker 1: He's still a rook We get in the game and
Speaker 1: we're up, and we're in the dome and they're piping
Speaker 1: in false music and noise and like the illegal stuff.
Speaker 1: It's just loud and all of a sudden, it's quiet
Speaker 1: because we're up, and then we have the ball and
Speaker 1: it's like a few seconds left to go something like that,
Speaker 1: and co said, I remind you, Moss is faster. We
Speaker 1: didn't have played fifty eight minutes. We know how fast
Speaker 1: he is. We all right, we're winning. We're good. And
Speaker 1: we went in some prevent defense, which basically means it
Speaker 1: prevents you from winning the game. And so we're like
Speaker 1: ninety yards back. Even the d line is like twenty
Speaker 1: yards back, and Randy Moss did one of those and Culpepper,
Speaker 1: get your role on. Cold Pepper threw the ball to
Speaker 1: the moon, it came back down. The astronaut was Randy
Speaker 1: Moss in the end zone and they ended up beating us.
Speaker 1: That was crazy. He had an electric game that time.
Speaker 1: Colepepper was bigger than you, wasn't he. Yeah, in many ways,
Speaker 1: like physically the stature. People forget. Culpepper was a dude
Speaker 1: in this league and want to get your role on.
Speaker 1: He had a little phenomenon following him at a time.
Speaker 1: He was a beast, but he could play the ball.
Speaker 1: He could spend it man, and when he had mosson Carter,
Speaker 1: it was silly and then he got hurt. Never the
Speaker 1: same Yeah that prime I told you man, not the injuries.
Speaker 1: It's coming back to think you could do the same
Speaker 1: thing you did pre injury. Most athletes I've ran into
Speaker 1: have actually failed that test. It's crazy. Great to talk
Speaker 1: to you again. Congrats on the podcast success. It's more
Speaker 1: to It with Marcellus Wiley talks to Ladanian Tomlinson and

Speaker 1: Sarah Seaton. Before we get to Todd's Mock Sports Center,
Speaker 1: Cheez Dan, I'm gonna drag this out as much as
Speaker 1: I possibly can. In this segment, we went with who
Speaker 1: had the best day yesterday? Can you repeat that? We
Speaker 1: went with who had the best day yesterday? Can you
Speaker 1: repeat that? Wow? Oh no, no, no, come on, let's
Speaker 1: go on, let's be nice. Who had the best day yesterday?
Speaker 1: Tennessee football, the Dolphins, the Nets are the Phillies? Right now?
Speaker 1: Sixty nine going with the Phillies and almost nobody literally
Speaker 1: almost nobody, nobody? Okay, yeah uh. DraftKings opened the betting
Speaker 1: line that Georgia was going to be favored by eleven
Speaker 1: and a half. It quickly dropped down to I think
Speaker 1: eight and a half. That's still I don't know how
Speaker 1: big of a your dog. When's the last time a
Speaker 1: number one team was that big of an underdog. We
Speaker 1: tried to find this out. I couldn't find it out. Yeah, Mar,
Speaker 1: what does what does Tennessee have to lose by? If
Speaker 1: they lose, what they have to lose by in order
Speaker 1: to still be a contenders for the playoff? Oh? I
Speaker 1: think if you're it's at Georgia, I would say if
Speaker 1: you cover, maybe keep it ten points or less. Keep
Speaker 1: in mind, George has won five straight against Tennessee. The
Speaker 1: average margin of victory is almost twenty nine points, but
Speaker 1: Tennessee comes in best offense in the nation. Best scoring
Speaker 1: offense in the nation. Georgia ranks second in total offense,
Speaker 1: but also in scoring defense. They allow ten and a
Speaker 1: half points per game of the day stat of the day.
Speaker 1: It comes that what stay Draftking has updated Heisman Trophy odds.
Speaker 1: Anybody want to take a guess the top five best
Speaker 1: odds to win the Heisman Trophy, PAULI, I'll start with you,
Speaker 1: Stroud and Hendon Hooker one two. It's the other way around.
Speaker 1: Hendon Hooker's one. Hendon Hooker is the Heisman favorite. Then
Speaker 1: c J Stroud third on the list, sort of forgotten
Speaker 1: Bryce Young No more, Bryce Young's not in the top five.
Speaker 1: It's Caleb Williams, Blake Quorum Michigan running back, and then
Speaker 1: Drake May North Carolina. One of my sources said teams
Speaker 1: will tank next year for Drake May. Teams will tank.
Speaker 1: I would say, you know, mark my words, but a
Speaker 1: lot can happen when we do these. This guy will
Speaker 1: be the number one pick in the draft. You're like,
Speaker 1: m he's going into the second round. Yeah, point yeah,
Speaker 1: it sounds like a Sam Howell promise. Remember Sam how
Speaker 1: A lot of people like this guy's top five Top
Speaker 1: five round, top five rounds. Yeah, all right, held out,
Speaker 1: held out as long as I five rounds is a
Speaker 1: really funny line there, because I mean, think about it.
Speaker 1: It could be like top five. Yeah, that guy's going
Speaker 1: top five. That's yeah. But Or's in the top five rounds,
Speaker 1: which is a lot more pick all right. Anyway, all right,
Speaker 1: here we go, there's Todd Sports Center tees. Here we go. Question. Okay,
Speaker 1: here we go. Wait, it's just a breaking news store.
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's not true. I thought I thought there
Speaker 1: was breaking news. Never mind, Okay, I wish there was.
Speaker 1: All right, here we go, Here we go Sports Center tees.
Speaker 1: But Dan, I didn't get talk to you on the
Speaker 1: other poll questions that we had. I had who had
Speaker 1: a better day yesterday than nashal sty the nets are
Speaker 1: Steve Nash? Okay, Steve Nash had ninety five vote? All right, um?
Speaker 1: And then we had who is the winner of the
Speaker 1: NFL trade deadline? Dolphins still winning that one from our one?
Speaker 1: Okay world series tonight, Yeah, the real quick from both teams.
Speaker 1: So I could go through the starting line. We talk
Speaker 1: about a resurgence. Yeah, it's hard. Yeah, two games to one, Phillies.
Speaker 1: Here we go, Todd, Here you go Sports Center, cheese,
Speaker 1: you guts the worst coming up on Sports Center, Nash
Speaker 1: and Burn, Why the Nets decided to leave Steve and
Speaker 1: he may or he may not turn things around in Brooklyn.
Speaker 1: Buying in on an old Celtic Dolphins have a chub
Speaker 1: for Bradley will explain no leap of faith. The pack
Speaker 1: decide not to chase Claypool. So here's a tip for pictures.
Speaker 1: If you give up many home runs, you'll likely lose.
Speaker 1: What did Bryce find so nice about mccullur's motion and
Speaker 1: what he Dusty decided not to lift as rocky top
Speaker 1: at the top, So what can the dogs do the
Speaker 1: top all tennessee not exactly the tunnel of love. More
Speaker 1: suspensions for Sparty. The deadline may have passed, but we're
Speaker 1: alive and well hope you'll buy what we're selling Sports
Speaker 1: Center right now, it's offensive a chub for Bred that
Speaker 1: before you've used that appropriate to bring back. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: go when you're desperate, you go blue. This is what
Speaker 1: I do. I do that. You know the answer to that,
Speaker 1: Dan better than anybody. Central Michigan at Northern Illinois both
Speaker 1: two and six, someone's gonna win. And then Western Michigan
Speaker 1: against Bowling Green Bowling Greens having a good season. Okay,
Speaker 1: this stay in sports history. Yeah, got a couple. Um.
Speaker 1: George Ruth applied for the job for the Saint Louis
Speaker 1: Browns after being released as coach for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Speaker 1: CBS purchased eight percent of the Yankees for eleven million
Speaker 1: dollars in nineteen sixty four. Good investment construction began in
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy two on the Kingdom in Seattle, Washington, and
Speaker 1: Magic Johnson retired from the NBA for good nineteen ninety two.
Speaker 1: A little surprised at chapole. I know which one? Is
Speaker 1: this the painful one? No? No, I thought it was
Speaker 1: a Walter Payton's passing. No, was that today? Yesterday? I
Speaker 1: think it's person Well then the Cubs, Yeah, they won
Speaker 1: the World Series. Yeah, that's that's assumed. That's a big one.
Speaker 1: That's a big no. You got to remind people because
Speaker 1: it feels like it's a long time ago that the
Speaker 1: Cubs won the World Series. Let's see. Do you know
Speaker 1: the NBA record for most total points in a non
Speaker 1: overtime game. It was on this date nineteen ninety Golden
Speaker 1: State beat Denver one sixty two to one fifty eight.
Speaker 1: Like that. Nineteen seventy four, the Braves traded Hank Aaron
Speaker 1: to the Milwaukee Brewers. True be a question who did
Speaker 1: they get in return? Dave May? Who else would it be?
Speaker 1: Thank Aaron's got to be Dave May. Thank you to
Speaker 1: got it. Thank Aron for Dave May. It makes sense.
Speaker 1: Steve in California, Hi, Steve, what's on your mind? Moran? Dan?
Speaker 1: Thanks for taking my call. God, I wanted to talk
Speaker 1: to you about load management. First, why do you think
Speaker 1: that load management is more of an issue in the
Speaker 1: NBA than it is in the NHL? And secondly, do
Speaker 1: you think we could ever get to a point where
Speaker 1: the owners say, or put some type of stipulation into
Speaker 1: the contracts that here's your max rate. We're gonna pay
Speaker 1: you basically a pro rated amount per game that you play,
Speaker 1: and they'd be sick in something like you must make
Speaker 1: at least thirty five home games in order to hit
Speaker 1: this or something like that. I don't know if you can.
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Players Association would allow that
Speaker 1: to happen. What if you're not completely healthy and you're
Speaker 1: trying to play, What if you your co doesn't want
Speaker 1: to play you. You know that there's certain minutes if
Speaker 1: I get to a certain total that I'm going to
Speaker 1: get this. Are you going to play me? Those incentive
Speaker 1: clauses bonuses are really tricky. I'd love to pay you
Speaker 1: whatever if you're going to play for me. It's when
Speaker 1: I got to pay you and you're not playing that
Speaker 1: I have a real hard time with. But it's just
Speaker 1: a different and hockey's a different mentality. It just is
Speaker 1: that you're brought up that you play, no matter what
Speaker 1: you play. You're injured, you play, you lose a couple
Speaker 1: of teeth, you play, you get stitched up, you play. Yeah, bo,
Speaker 1: you want to make basketball better? Have them do line
Speaker 1: shifts like the NHL does. All of a sudden, just
Speaker 1: five dudes go running on the court in the NBA game,
Speaker 1: and five dudes come running off and just flowing. Let's
Speaker 1: let's go around the room. What we learned on the program,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start back left, Todd Fritz, Mike Tenamount says
Speaker 1: two is the biggest winner at the trade deadline, thinks
Speaker 1: Denver getting rid of Chub sends a bad message. Seton O'Connor,
Speaker 1: What did you learn today? Nothing can stop Todd nothing.
Speaker 1: You guys almost did we try to stretch it out? Marv?
Speaker 1: What did you learn today? Marcella's Wiley says prevent defense
Speaker 1: prevention from winning. PAULI would you learn full chub always works?
Speaker 1: Todd wooded I learn Marcella's Wiley would likely grab Aaron
Speaker 1: donalder T J Watt to start his team with. The
