Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Ah, we did it.
Speaker 2: We're back.
Speaker 3: I don't know for better than ever, but we are back.
Speaker 3: A weight lifted off my shoulders as I got through
Speaker 3: the wedding and the speech. More importantly, it wasn't about
Speaker 3: the wedding, it was about the speech. Rich Eisen, who
Speaker 3: was in attendance. He went to the Taylor Swift Travis
Speaker 3: Kelce wedding, so he was kind of ready for a
Speaker 3: wedding of this magnitude. He'll join us coming up next hour.
Speaker 3: Daniel Jeremiah, the NFL analyst for NFL Network. He'll join
Speaker 3: us coming up a little bit, and he'll have some
Speaker 3: thoughts on the announcement that the Cleveland Browns have named
Speaker 3: their starting quarterback this season. Multiple reports Deshaun Watson will
Speaker 3: be the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns this after
Speaker 3: what happened this weekend, not only his performance that was subpar,
Speaker 3: but his comments that were so bar as well. We'll
Speaker 3: bring those back coming up here in a moment. Stat
Speaker 3: of the Day brought to you by Panini America, the
Speaker 3: official trading cards of The Dan Patrick Show. Premier League
Speaker 3: is back, heading to North London. The Spurs make their
Speaker 3: home debut against Newcastle, a new season plenty to prove
Speaker 3: when they kick off at twelve thirty Eastern on NBC
Speaker 3: and Peacock. We'll have a new poll question coming up
Speaker 3: and your phone call is always welcome, especially on Monday.
Speaker 3: Best and worst of the weekend. What you saw that
Speaker 3: you liked you didn't like? Eight seven to seven to three.
Speaker 3: DP Show got a big announcement, Big announcement coming up
Speaker 3: in about eight minutes from now. Eight minutes from now,
Speaker 3: big announcement for the DP Show.
Speaker 4: Yes, Paul, I want to go back to Watson for
Speaker 4: a second. I know the announcement's big. Do you think
Speaker 4: the Brown said it themselves this morning? It can't get
Speaker 4: any worse. Nobody likes this guy. He didn't play well.
Speaker 4: This is last call. Let him have the month of
Speaker 4: septem and then we'll completely move on from the Watson
Speaker 4: era for the rest of our lives. And the only
Speaker 4: thing that could change that is if he plays really
Speaker 4: well well.
Speaker 3: This is what I would have done prior to what
Speaker 3: he said this weekend. But prior to this, I thought,
Speaker 3: let him play, let him try, give him the chance.
Speaker 3: You spend all this money. I don't think Shadoor Sanders
Speaker 3: is your future, but you at least give Deshaun Watson
Speaker 3: the opportunity he rehabbed to come back now see if
Speaker 3: he can play. And as I mentioned last hour, my source,
Speaker 3: who wasn't involved in the decision making but he's affiliated
Speaker 3: with the Cleveland Brown said that he thought the trajectory
Speaker 3: was Deshaun Watson was going to be the starting quarterback.
Speaker 3: This was prior to Saturday. I did text him this
Speaker 3: morning after the Deshaun Watson's comments over the weekend.
Speaker 2: He did not get back to me.
Speaker 3: But by the way, here is Deshaun Watson talking about
Speaker 3: being booed by the home crowd.
Speaker 5: I think you guys know too, and I think the
Speaker 5: whole world knows. It has nothing to do about the performance.
Speaker 5: It's a little bit personal than that. So I think
Speaker 5: that's it's a disrespectful thing. So yeah, I mean, I'm
Speaker 5: gonna keep whatever I feel with me and my family
Speaker 5: internally on how I feel about that, and yeah, I
Speaker 5: just move on.
Speaker 3: Okay, he didn't keep it to himself, but he needs
Speaker 3: to eat it. Like you open the door here. You're
Speaker 3: not gonna win this. You're not a victim. Nobody's gonna
Speaker 3: feel bad for you. I do understand you. You know,
Speaker 3: tear your achilles and the fans boo. Now to me,
Speaker 3: that crosses the line. But part of the booing was
Speaker 3: you didn't play well. You haven't played well, you haven't
Speaker 3: played you got all this money, and then you say, well,
Speaker 3: here is the next portion of that press conference with
Speaker 3: Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 6: Why don't you.
Speaker 3: Think, Deshaun that that winning and playing better would made
Speaker 3: some of that bullying.
Speaker 5: Last time I played on this field out toward my achilles,
Speaker 5: and that same fan base they cheered when I got hurt. So,
Speaker 5: but does that have to do with anything about performance?
Speaker 5: When a person get hurt, especially for your own city,
Speaker 5: and they.
Speaker 2: Cheer, that make you regret coming here?
Speaker 5: No, I don't regret anything in my life.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 5: I think the lawyer put me through situations for a reason,
Speaker 5: so I don't. I don't regret anything at all. I
Speaker 5: had different thoughts on how it was going to be,
Speaker 5: but you know, it is what it is. I'm not
Speaker 5: chipping on it.
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't know if the lord puts you through
Speaker 3: the sexual assault, Okay, you can't say it. I don't
Speaker 3: regret anything in my life, or if you say nothing
Speaker 3: football wise, do I regret? Okay, keep it about football
Speaker 3: if you want to. But you're doing the all you know,
Speaker 3: woe is me? All Right, you get your start. You're
Speaker 3: the starting quarterback here and maybe you're going to feel
Speaker 3: like you're playing seventeen road games in your words, but
Speaker 3: this is on you. This is about you. You got
Speaker 3: your opportunity. Stop whining, stop crying, go out and play football,
Speaker 3: and if you play well, maybe the fans move past this.
Speaker 3: They've been waiting for somebody to be able to play
Speaker 3: that position.
Speaker 2: For a while.
Speaker 3: You had Baker Mayfield. He's doing okay in Tampa. You
Speaker 3: moved on from him choice, but look, ownership has hired
Speaker 3: poor people as head coaches. The track record is horrendous
Speaker 3: quarterbacks horrendous. And you bring in Deshaun Watson. You gave
Speaker 3: him an offer he couldn't refuse. He didn't want to
Speaker 3: go there. He took them off the list. He was
Speaker 3: going to Atlanta, and now you can't cut him. The
Speaker 3: cap hit is going to be it's going to crush them.
Speaker 3: It's it might be the worst trade. And like the
Speaker 3: Herschel Walker trade, you go Okay, that was certainly one sided.
Speaker 3: At least you got herschel Walker. This might be the
Speaker 3: worst move of any franchise in history. Two hundred and
Speaker 3: thirty million baggage draft picks, three first round picks. One
Speaker 3: of those picks was Will Anderson seem problem, he's not
Speaker 3: like good? No, he's great? But yeah, all right, So
Speaker 3: Cleveland Browns Deshaun Watson, how could they make it worse?
Speaker 8: Paul?
Speaker 2: You can make it worse? Week two?
Speaker 4: Guess who the Browns play? The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and.
Speaker 3: Perfect, Well, wait a minute, is it a road game
Speaker 3: or a road game for deshawnd games?
Speaker 2: All right, yes, Dylan, if you're.
Speaker 9: The Browns, do you even want him to play? Well? Like,
Speaker 9: let's say you do get a little glimmer of hope.
Speaker 10: Would you rather that or just wash your like it's
Speaker 10: just continues to be an abject failure and just wash
Speaker 10: your hands of it as.
Speaker 2: Best as possible. Well, we always do this, man.
Speaker 3: The quarterbacks and this year's draft, they are great until
Speaker 3: they're not great. But if I'm Cleveland, how good do
Speaker 3: I want to be this year? And if that's the case,
Speaker 3: do you have shador in there instead of Deshaun Watson
Speaker 3: because maybe you get five wins or six wins, but
Speaker 3: I think they're on the cusp of something. It's just
Speaker 3: the problem is you got to get that quarterback, Jared Verse.
Speaker 2: I love that. Yeah, I said that.
Speaker 3: You know, they should have made that trade a year earlier,
Speaker 3: but Jared Verse is a really good player, and I
Speaker 3: thought that that was a smart decision.
Speaker 10: Yes, Dylan, Yeah, And you could argue too that the
Speaker 10: Deshaun being on the Browns, it's the best situation in
Speaker 10: terms of having the opportunity.
Speaker 2: To rehab your image on the football field.
Speaker 10: Like if there's any place that's ripe for you to
Speaker 10: come in and play well and have that get you
Speaker 10: extra cachet, it is in Cleveland.
Speaker 2: Well he'll get his opportunity.
Speaker 3: And I agreed with this prior to this weekend with
Speaker 3: his and then he had his press conference like that's
Speaker 3: what would make me nervous if I'm Brown's ownership. Okay,
Speaker 3: not a great performance, but you're not really grasping what
Speaker 3: the situation is. And for a quarterback, I just there's
Speaker 3: other ways you could have done this. But he he
Speaker 3: really wanted to say this. He wasn't provoked media didn't
Speaker 3: provoke him, and the follow up question, do you regret
Speaker 3: coming here?
Speaker 2: Great follow up question.
Speaker 3: So all right, we promised a big announcement, big announcement today,
Speaker 3: big announcement today that will be about a big announce
Speaker 3: coming up a week from today, and for that we
Speaker 3: bring back the artist.
Speaker 2: Formerly known as.
Speaker 3: McLevin is uh Andrew Perloff, the artist formally known as McLevin.
Speaker 2: It's like you never left.
Speaker 11: It feels like I never left. And let me just say,
Speaker 11: there's just no better lead into coming back than to
Speaker 11: Shaun Watson.
Speaker 2: Great, that's what you got, Deshaun Watson. Hey. Character wise Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: I'm an improvement and then come in. Okay, so let's
Speaker 2: tell everybody what's going on. Oh another drum wrong?
Speaker 3: Okay, So a week from today, you and Paulie are

Speaker 4: did come up with the name of the show. I
Speaker 4: assumed it was a shot at my athletic ability, as
Speaker 4: I was an archer, but I guess it's more so
Speaker 4: not so fast. Stick with us after the DP show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's great because it'll be and then we'll
Speaker 3: make cameos everybody in this room, including myself when need be.

Speaker 3: an hour long show, and it is kind of a
Speaker 3: complimentary show to what we do on this show for
Speaker 3: three hours.

Speaker 11: because I made good come on, get we gotta dig
Speaker 11: into that, so we'll use elements of the Dan Patrick show.

Speaker 3: DP Show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter hand the
Speaker 3: DP Show. Good morning if you're watching on Peacock or
Speaker 3: NBC Sports Now, Dylan, what's the poll question for hour two?
Speaker 3: Let's clean up hour one and then we'll get to
Speaker 3: Daniel Jeremiah.
Speaker 10: If you're the Browns, who are you starting at QB
Speaker 10: Deshaun Watson or Shad Sanders. Obviously that appears that's been decided,
Speaker 10: but nonetheless, seventy three percent are saying shaudor Sanders.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: Daniel Jeremiah NFL Network Analysts co host to Move the
Speaker 3: Sticks podcast, Chargers radio commentator, former NFL scout. Let me
Speaker 3: start with the Browns decision, Deshaun Watson's going to be
Speaker 3: the starting quarterback this season.
Speaker 14: Your thoughts, well, I thought, when you had a a
Speaker 14: horse Todd Monkin after the game the other day and
Speaker 14: having a chance to have heard and taking in everything
Speaker 14: that Deshaun said, and then he mentions very specifically whatever
Speaker 14: was said in that press Corms left nothing to do
Speaker 14: with who's going to be named the starting quarterback in
Speaker 14: the Cleveland Browns. They basically announced the starting quarterback of
Speaker 14: the Cleveland Browns, and that's where we are. Dan and I, look,
Speaker 14: I know there's a lot of strong opinions on it.
Speaker 14: I thought just watching the tape of the two and
Speaker 14: I said this, you know, right after the press conference,
Speaker 14: I was on the air, which was look, the play
Speaker 14: is it's very similar. It's not that different when you
Speaker 14: watch him and Shador in the preseason. I'm not there
Speaker 14: at every practice, but that was a tight race. And
Speaker 14: I originally had said, you always go veteran to young guy.
Speaker 14: It's easier to start with the veteran, then you pivot
Speaker 14: to the young guy. But then once that press conference happened. Personally,
Speaker 14: I was like, well, that's he just burned the building
Speaker 14: down like that. There's no chance that's you have no
Speaker 14: option but to go with Shador. But then immediately after that,
Speaker 14: I hear Monk and talk and I'm like, well, nope,
Speaker 14: they're not doing it.
Speaker 3: What should we be looking for though, to see why
Speaker 3: Deshaun Watson is the right guy? Aside from making all
Speaker 3: the money and being the veteran, has he earned the
Speaker 3: right to be the starting quarterback over Deshaun Watson If
Speaker 3: it's just based on play.
Speaker 14: Yeah, this is where it's hard on the outside because
Speaker 14: it doesn't make a lot of sense just from what
Speaker 14: we've seen of it.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 14: The thing I would tell people is that, Okay, we're
Speaker 14: not in there. I don't know, like the Chador know
Speaker 14: all the checks and the calls. Is he doing all
Speaker 14: that stuff right in terms of the operation of everything
Speaker 14: that a head coach, and especially an offensive minded head
Speaker 14: coach you know, feels like can operate his system. Maybe
Speaker 14: Deshaun's been better in those areas as someone who's just
Speaker 14: played more football and been around more that maybe that
Speaker 14: was tilted heavily in his favor. My thing is though, Dan,
Speaker 14: It's like, okay, that's kind of like the micro you know,
Speaker 14: aspect of this whole thing. At some point in time,
Speaker 14: especially as a head coach in an organization, you've got
Speaker 14: to step back and look at this thing and say,
Speaker 14: where's our window here? You know, if you start standards,
Speaker 14: that's six first or second year players on the offensive
Speaker 14: side of the ball, which points towards the future. You
Speaker 14: trade Miles Garrett because you're not thinking about the past,
Speaker 14: You're thinking about the future. Deshaun Watson was a good
Speaker 14: quarterback way in the past. He's not in the president,
Speaker 14: not going to be your quarterback in the future. So
Speaker 14: if you're looking at the window and everything pointing forward,
Speaker 14: this is a decision that points backward.
Speaker 2: In my opinion, how good do they want to be
Speaker 2: this year?
Speaker 3: Like, let's let's get into ownership thoughts here, that guess
Speaker 3: got a chance to get a quarterback.
Speaker 2: Maybe you finally get your quarterback. But if you're kind of.
Speaker 3: You know, six or seven wins, you kind of put
Speaker 3: yourself in that Nomaen's land of trying to get a
Speaker 3: big ticket item. So what do you think now? Todd
Speaker 3: Munkin wants to win and the Browns win, but does
Speaker 3: ownership how good do you want to be this year?
Speaker 7: That's that's the tough part.
Speaker 14: I don't That's why I don't get this is this
Speaker 14: is just this is like just middle of the road
Speaker 14: with what you're going to get with Deshaun Watson. Even
Speaker 14: if if he plays as well as he can, I
Speaker 14: still think there's enough holes on this roster where the
Speaker 14: ceiling is low. So I just I would want to
Speaker 14: know exactly what I have.
Speaker 7: And shure Sanders at the end of this year.
Speaker 14: If if that results in us losing games, we lose games,
Speaker 14: at least we're getting valuable reps and experience for the
Speaker 14: rest of our young nucleus that's going to be there
Speaker 14: waiting for this, you know, hopefully savior quarterback that's arriving
Speaker 14: in next year's draft class. But this is this feels
Speaker 14: like a debate of you know, hey, you know, we
Speaker 14: win five games with six games with Shador if everything
Speaker 14: goes well, But if we start Watson and everything goes well,
Speaker 14: we could win seven games. So like, that's why we're
Speaker 14: going to do this for this extra one or two
Speaker 14: games that you might win this year, which I don't
Speaker 14: think that's I just don't think it's the right decision.
Speaker 7: I don't.
Speaker 14: I think it's looking at a very small lens and
Speaker 14: not stepping back and looking at where this organization needs
Speaker 14: to go.
Speaker 3: Daniel Jeremiah, NFL network analyst and co host to Move
Speaker 3: the Sticks podcast. What other battles competition are you looking
Speaker 3: at that maybe haven't been settled yet?
Speaker 14: Well, I mean Pennix has done the most of any
Speaker 14: of these guys to win a starting quarterback job just
Speaker 14: by sitting back and watching it kind of fun apart,
Speaker 14: you know what I mean. Like that's almost like, well,
Speaker 14: I don't want to play yet. I want to let
Speaker 14: this whole thing just kind of go south and then
Speaker 14: I'll then I can get the job without ever having
Speaker 14: to do anything. But I saw he got recently cleared,
Speaker 14: so that will be a fascinating one. On all of
Speaker 14: these ones, Dan, I've I've always fallen back to the
Speaker 14: way it normally goes, which is, if at anyting's close,
Speaker 14: normally these teams start with the older guy because you
Speaker 14: don't lose the older guy, you start him. The younger
Speaker 14: guy is still working hard, still grinding, still chasing, and
Speaker 14: then if it doesn't go well with the old guy,
Speaker 14: you just pivot to the young guy. If you start
Speaker 14: the young guy, a lot of times the old guy,
Speaker 14: you might lose him, you know, mentally, emotionally, all those things.
Speaker 14: So if it's close, it usually falls in that direction.
Speaker 14: But man, some of the veterans are making this hard
Speaker 14: harder than it should be.
Speaker 3: See, I think TUA is set up to have a
Speaker 3: great opportunity.
Speaker 2: Here in Atlanta. There's weapons.
Speaker 3: I mean, it almost feels like it's Miami again, where
Speaker 3: I got receivers, I got a tight end, I got
Speaker 3: a running back here. Offensive minded head coach, you don't
Speaker 3: look great, man, Okay, you.
Speaker 2: Don't sound as optimistic as I do.
Speaker 14: I think everything that you said I saw on paper
Speaker 14: going into this thing, and I.
Speaker 7: Was excited about.
Speaker 14: And then what we've seen translate from the paper to
Speaker 14: the to the video is not has not shown up.
Speaker 14: So you know, look, you and I are not at
Speaker 14: practice every day. Maybe it's just maybe it's just air
Speaker 14: coriol at practice every day and they're lighting it up
Speaker 14: and just unfortunately what we get to see publicly has
Speaker 14: been awful. But I you know, I don't know how
Speaker 14: to read anything more into that other than you know,
Speaker 14: I thought Penning's chances were very low to see the
Speaker 14: field early in the season, and I've I've definitely changed
Speaker 14: that opinion.
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins has to start with the Raiders, correct.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm sticking with that, and I like what I've
Speaker 14: seen from Mendoza. I know, you know, you can look
Speaker 14: at the pick six last week, but going back through
Speaker 14: that tape, I thought there was a lot of good
Speaker 14: things in there, especially for him getting under center and
Speaker 14: doing a lot of things for the first time. He's
Speaker 14: he's getting to the top of his drop, his vision's
Speaker 14: been pretty good. He's making some difficult throws. Like you
Speaker 14: watch these these young quarterbacks and there's different philosophies of
Speaker 14: how to get them going. Like the Rams have done
Speaker 14: a masterful job with ty Simpson. They get him under center.
Speaker 14: There is a lot of boots, a ton of boots
Speaker 14: early in his games. There's a lot of just spit
Speaker 14: the ball out to the flat, get some easy completions.
Speaker 14: Dan as a as a hooper, you know, it's like
Speaker 14: just seeing the ball go through the hoop a couple
Speaker 14: of times and then then you can step back and
Speaker 14: show a little more range. Like they've done a great
Speaker 14: job of that. With ty Simpson. With Mendoza, it's like, Okay,
Speaker 14: let's see what this kid can do. They're throwing him
Speaker 14: into the deep end. It's seven step drops, and we're
Speaker 14: trying to read middle of the field and try and
Speaker 14: really drive the football. And he's done some of those
Speaker 14: things really well. So I'm excited about his future. But
Speaker 14: I don't think that offensive line is going to be
Speaker 14: equipped to help him early on in his career. And
Speaker 14: I say, kirk Man, God bless you. You've done a
Speaker 14: lot of great things in this league.
Speaker 7: You got to take them from the team here, buddy.
Speaker 14: You got to get us through at least see if
Speaker 14: you get us through half the season here, pull yourself together,
Speaker 14: use your brain to protect yourself in terms of understanding
Speaker 14: where pressures are coming from and how to cover up
Speaker 14: some of our issues along the offensive line. But I
Speaker 14: don't want to give a full seventeen games worth of
Speaker 14: hits behind that offensive line to Fernando Mendoza.
Speaker 3: Cowboys picking up Von Miller I thought was a sneaky
Speaker 3: nice move for a guy who I think had nine
Speaker 3: sacks last year. What do you think of this move
Speaker 3: with the Cowboys?
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, I would say even outside of Vaughan.
Speaker 14: I was up there at training camp, and you know,
Speaker 14: I always tell people preseason games can be a liar.
Speaker 14: Don't make too big of a deal out of what
Speaker 14: you see in the preseason games. When you go to
Speaker 14: practice Dan and you get a chance to watch them,
Speaker 14: and they're going good versus good, and that offense, we
Speaker 14: would all agree is a legit top three to five
Speaker 14: offense and has been as long as Dak Prescott's been healthy.
Speaker 14: And the defense got after him the day I was
Speaker 14: there and it was a collection of guys. It was
Speaker 14: over shown. The linebacker who looked like he's put on
Speaker 14: about ten pounds was flying around making plays. Quinn Williams,
Speaker 14: you know, out there as an impactful player. This rookie
Speaker 14: day got Jayshn barrowm out of Michigan has got a
Speaker 14: chance to be the defensive rookie of the year.
Speaker 7: He's been all over the place.
Speaker 14: He was at the practice I was there, and you've
Speaker 14: seen it shown up in the preseason games. Caleb downs,
Speaker 14: like you start adding all these pieces together. Now you
Speaker 14: just sprinkle in a little von Miller to give them
Speaker 14: a little something extra there as an edge rusher or
Speaker 14: someone that you can maybe preserve through the year and
Speaker 14: as you get into the meaningful late season games, I
Speaker 14: think he's got a chance to close out some games
Speaker 14: for you. So I left the Cowboys camp very bullish,
Speaker 14: and it wasn't.
Speaker 7: It wasn't.
Speaker 14: There was nothing like you're trying to talk yourself into it.
Speaker 14: You're like, no, they got they got real guys on defense.
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, I thought if they'd get a top fifteen defense,
Speaker 3: that team is they could go to the NFC Title
Speaker 3: Game in my opinion with that offense, but the defense,
Speaker 3: if that kind of just be better than average, Well
Speaker 3: they've been. They were horrible last year, and they did
Speaker 3: they made some smart moves. I'm still surprised that it's
Speaker 3: like Seattle didn't win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 7: Who's Seattle? I haven't heard am.
Speaker 3: Nobody and maybe they like this, I don't know, but
Speaker 3: they won the Super Bowl and nobody brings up Seattle
Speaker 3: is repeating, Oh no, you know, the the Rams are
Speaker 3: the team to be. I get that, But Seattle is
Speaker 3: still pretty good. They lose Kenneth Walker, but he got
Speaker 3: a good coach. Defensive guys, impact guys. So where do
Speaker 3: you stand on Seattle?
Speaker 7: Yeah? I have them right at the top.
Speaker 14: You know, when I look at their team, this was
Speaker 14: not a team that, man, they were just they're almost
Speaker 14: there year after year after year, and then finally they
Speaker 14: pushed through and then maybe that was their one shot?
Speaker 7: Are you kidding me?
Speaker 14: Like the quarterbacks in his twenties, Jsm's in his early
Speaker 14: twenties is arguably the best receiver in the entire league.
Speaker 14: The defense was the best defense in the NFL, with
Speaker 14: young talented players sprinkled everywhere, like Leonard Williams would be
Speaker 14: the one guy who's like thirty one something like that,
Speaker 14: who's still you know, playing at the elite, elite level. This
Speaker 14: is an ascending team that won the Super Bowl on
Speaker 14: the on the middle of their climb, like it they're
Speaker 14: not going anywhere, And in some ways, I think it
Speaker 14: was a godsend to John Schneider, Like you couldn't ask
Speaker 14: for anything more. Like one of the toughest things to
Speaker 14: defend your title is, man, that all arrows are pointing
Speaker 14: to you.
Speaker 7: You're You're the one.
Speaker 14: Like no, it's not like everybody's talking about the Rams
Speaker 14: and the Cowboys. I mean everybody's I would say, the
Speaker 14: other team that's maybe in that very good, somewhat disrespected,
Speaker 14: if you want to use that term. The Philadelphi Eagles
Speaker 14: have been to a couple of Super Bowls and they
Speaker 14: have a loaded roster still, and I don't hear anybody
Speaker 14: talking about them either.
Speaker 2: When do you make your Super Bowl pick?
Speaker 14: That's a great question, I I I maybe I'll make
Speaker 14: like three of them. Let's just do one right now,
Speaker 14: I'll I'll go, I'll go with the AFC. I think
Speaker 14: the I'll probably say the Broncos coming out of the AFC, man,
Speaker 14: and then let's turn around and let's go. So I
Speaker 14: might might go with the Philadelphia Eagles. Okay, I'm back
Speaker 14: out of the NFC.
Speaker 2: Guaranteed to change here in the next week or sow.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, I don't know if for what other
Speaker 14: shows I got later today. But's as many cracks of
Speaker 14: this thing as I can. I'm only going to reach
Speaker 14: week one of them at the end of the year.
Speaker 14: I can promise you that.
Speaker 2: Aaron Donald yet to join the Rams. What do you
Speaker 2: think the hold up is?
Speaker 14: I mean, what's the rush? I mean, this is not
Speaker 14: You're not bringing in Aaron Donald to see if you
Speaker 14: can win a game in.
Speaker 2: Australia the rush? Yeah, exactly, exactly. Literally is the rush
Speaker 2: no question?
Speaker 14: So I mean it's you know, hey, we need you
Speaker 14: for December and January and beyond.
Speaker 2: So let's let's wait. Do you think he goes to Australia.
Speaker 14: I mean I maybe to do some snorkeling. I don't
Speaker 14: think he plays in that game. I mean maybe he
Speaker 14: signs before then. I don't think so. If it was
Speaker 14: it was me, if I'm less sneed looking at this thing,
Speaker 14: going like like, don't even think about seventeen games. How
Speaker 14: long is it going to take you to get you know,
Speaker 14: I know you've been working out, and we've had you
Speaker 14: in for a couple of workouts, but to get yourself
Speaker 14: in real game shape. Like if that if we brought
Speaker 14: you in here and then you could take a month
Speaker 14: or six weeks, just practice a couple of days a week,
Speaker 14: get yourself ready to go, and then maybe we get
Speaker 14: to the halfway point of the season, we'll start we'll
Speaker 14: start utilizing you. But I mean, you don't need him
Speaker 14: for seventeen games, Like that's why why do that?
Speaker 3: I'd probably use him the way Tampa did Gronk that
Speaker 3: you know we want you for December, January, February. Well, yeah,
Speaker 3: I would have him only play home games if he
Speaker 3: wanted to.
Speaker 7: That's not a bad idea. You don't have to get
Speaker 7: on an airplane.
Speaker 14: You know, weren't some of the pictures weren't some of
Speaker 14: those veteran pictures that had like sweetheart deals like that.
Speaker 3: And I think Roger Clemens didn't he have that. It was, Yeah,
Speaker 3: your sneaky team this year is.
Speaker 7: Oh gosh, my sneaky team this year. You know.
Speaker 14: I've just I really like Joe Burrow in Cincinnati, and
Speaker 14: I like the Dexter Lawrence move. I mean, it feels
Speaker 14: weird to say with a quarterback like that that they're
Speaker 14: a sneaky team, but they're another one that and the
Speaker 14: defense stand they don't have to be a top ten,
Speaker 14: top five defense, just be functional. If they're a functional defense,
Speaker 14: that's a really really good it's a really good offense.
Speaker 14: So that would be one, you know, not a playoff team.
Speaker 14: I could see making a deep run.
Speaker 2: Great to talk to you. We'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Daniel, Thank you, Buddy.
Speaker 7: Good to see it.
Speaker 3: Daniel Jeremiah, NFL network analysts, co host to Move the
Speaker 3: Sticks podcast, Chargers radio commentator, analyst, former NFL scout. Let's
Speaker 3: see a couple of phone calls in here. Best and
Speaker 3: worst of the weekend. We'll give you hours coming up
Speaker 3: here in about ten minutes. Kelly in Kansas, Hi, Kelly,
Speaker 3: what do.
Speaker 2: You have for me?
Speaker 1: Hi?
Speaker 15: DPT. I just wanted to call and say that best
Speaker 15: of the weekend. We're celebrating three weeks today with our
Speaker 15: new little baby.
Speaker 2: Boy, John Taylor awesome.
Speaker 15: And I just wanted to shout out to our my
Speaker 15: husband for all his support that he's been given me
Speaker 15: and taking care of our family, and I'm just so
Speaker 15: happy that we have our little boy here.
Speaker 3: Well, you can't have a worst of the weekend when
Speaker 3: you have that, Kelly, so congratulations.
Speaker 2: Could have named him Dan, could have named him Dan.
Speaker 15: We could have tried, but it was a tradition, so John.
Speaker 3: It was not too late. Maybe the next one. Kel Yeah,
Speaker 3: you know we changed my daughter's name six weeks after
Speaker 3: we brought her home.
Speaker 2: But thank you, Kelly. Trip in Vegas, h I trip.
Speaker 6: ADBs. Always good to speak with y'all. Good to have
Speaker 6: y'all back. I got a best, the worst, and then
Speaker 6: the comment for or a question for the room. I'm
Speaker 6: gonna piggyback budo to Windom Clarks. He's already said it
Speaker 6: all about that. The worst is obviously going to be
Speaker 6: the way the difference everything that's going on in the
Speaker 6: WNBA with the Chicago Sky game last night, and see
Speaker 6: how they handled that, and then I want to see
Speaker 6: what the room thought about this. So, growing up in
Speaker 6: Columbia and going to the University of South Carolina, my quarterback,
Speaker 6: theorist Sellers, is now a not having to go.
Speaker 7: To class this year.
Speaker 6: His whole workload is working at a driving range that
Speaker 6: I called you from when I was there when I
Speaker 6: was on the show. So I'm curious what y'all think
Speaker 6: about that's his whole workload this year is working at
Speaker 6: the party driving range in Columbia, South Carolina. Hey have
Speaker 6: a good day.
Speaker 2: Hey there.
Speaker 3: If he's following the rules, I don't have any problem
Speaker 3: with it. Trip Matt Liiner did this, Marcus Mariota did this.
Speaker 3: If if, and I still maintain I'm waiting for the
Speaker 3: next athlete to be suspended for being academically ineligible, wake
Speaker 3: me up. When we have one of those situations where
Speaker 3: you're academically ineligible if you've done all the requirements and
Speaker 3: they give you a job and it's ballroom dancing. Fine,
Speaker 3: this is business. It's not you know what we think, Oh,
Speaker 3: I'm going to class. They're doing whatever they need to
Speaker 3: do to be able to play football. This has nothing
Speaker 3: to do with furthering your education. If they've already you know,
Speaker 3: got the required credits, great, good for you. I just
Speaker 3: don't know if, like I had an academic advisor when
Speaker 3: I was in college, I'm guessing that you have that.
Speaker 3: Like tutors, I don't know if you have that anymore.
Speaker 3: Like and most of the classes you probably can take online,
Speaker 3: I don't know how tough they are on you, you know,
Speaker 3: attendance or who's handing in assignments here. I know you're
Speaker 3: laughing as you're saying, I am, I remember, you know
Speaker 3: we had assignments. I remember we went to we had
Speaker 3: a road game at Marshall, and we came back late
Speaker 3: at night. And then they said, you don't have to
Speaker 3: go to class the next day, but if you have
Speaker 3: to make up something, you know, then you know you're
Speaker 3: going to have to arrange that with your teacher.
Speaker 2: So I had to.
Speaker 3: I had to test the history of Mesopotamia and I
Speaker 3: had to take a test. I had to go to
Speaker 3: the teacher and take the test, and you had to
Speaker 3: have a seat to stay eligible. And you know, like
Speaker 3: it was, I was scraping and scrapping trying to stay eligible.
Speaker 3: Now I don't know if anybody cares anymore. I always
Speaker 3: love when they go and our student athlete of the
Speaker 3: game is Jimmy Lipper with a three point nine grade
Speaker 3: point average in chemical engineering. He's not playing, but he's
Speaker 3: on the team. He's the three point nine. Yeah, he
Speaker 3: brings everybody's grade point average up. I brought everybody's grade
Speaker 3: point average down. Yes, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 16: My favorite thing is SEC games. And it's like players
Speaker 16: at the game or players to watch, they say they're
Speaker 16: major general studies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I was com arts communication, that's what it was.
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, com arts.
Speaker 4: Yes, Paul, I've seen undeclared by fifty year seniors. Like
Speaker 4: here's Gary Danielson is calling out his name undecided.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's twenty two.
Speaker 3: You gotta make a decision the rest of his life
Speaker 3: to decide the Yes, Dylan is com.
Speaker 9: So there's communications and then the art of communication.
Speaker 3: It was called CommArts. That was That was my degree
Speaker 3: because I'm like journalism, that's tough. There's a lot of
Speaker 3: work with that comm arts. Yay, all right, we'll come back.
Speaker 3: More phone calls Rich Eisen, who has gone to the
Speaker 3: two biggest weddings of the year with Taylor Swift and
Speaker 3: then my daughter's wedding over the weekend. So we'll talk
Speaker 3: to Richisen next hour. The Browns have made their decision.
Speaker 3: They're starting quarterback for week one, Deshaun Watson. We're back
Speaker 3: with our best and worst of the weekend after this.

Speaker 3: By the way, in the American League, the entire American League,
Speaker 3: there are four teams that have a winning record. Three
Speaker 3: of the four are in the American League East. Stat
Speaker 3: of the Day brought to you by Panini America, the
Speaker 3: official trading cards of the program. Tampa, the Yankees, and
Speaker 3: the Red Sox. They are above five hundred, So those
Speaker 3: are the three in the American League East. Pretty incredible
Speaker 3: that you have now watch them win the World Series.
Speaker 3: Somebody's gonna win the World Series. The White Sox are
Speaker 3: in there as well. That's it. Those are the teams
Speaker 3: above five hundred, Houston and Texas. They're at sixty five
Speaker 3: and sixty six. What a mess the American League has
Speaker 3: been this year. All righty, let's see Brandon Brandon in Ohio. Hi, Brandon,
Speaker 3: what's on your mind?
Speaker 8: Well, Dan the Brown oh I would think being a fan,
Speaker 8: I would be used to getting duck hunts, but starting Waston,
Speaker 8: I just don't see any other outcome than Todd Monkin
Speaker 8: is fine being one and done, Andrew Berry is fine
Speaker 8: being done. Washton came out. I'll tell you about the
Speaker 8: fan base. And yes, there's the thought that with the
Speaker 8: schedule they're on the road for two games, that can
Speaker 8: be his sort of audition. The guy's a nine or
Speaker 8: ten year vet. What does that say if you think
Speaker 8: he needs an audition to prove that he can get
Speaker 8: the job.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know it's a tough you know.
Speaker 3: They it felt like this is the move they were
Speaker 3: going to make, because let's give him a chance. If
Speaker 3: it doesn't work out, then you put in should or
Speaker 3: Sanders that you've tried it. He came back. There's more
Speaker 3: of an upside, I would think with Deshaun Watson because
Speaker 3: we've seen that, but should Door Sanders might be your
Speaker 3: starting quarterback the second half of the year. Best and
Speaker 3: worst of the weekend, Todd, We'll start with you.
Speaker 2: Best of the weekend. I'm gonna go back to the
Speaker 2: very start of our time off.

Speaker 17: hitting a home runer his first three at Batch of
Speaker 17: his Middle league career, beating the Cub's eight fort Rigally.

Speaker 10: Prince sun Jam finishes tied ten at the BMW Championship.
Speaker 10: He needed a solo eidh to make it to the
Speaker 10: Tour Championship, but he's been playing some good golf. My
Speaker 10: other words, I went to a beach overbreak that's famous
Speaker 10: for wild horses being there. I didn't see a single
Speaker 10: horse the entire time, but you could tell horses had
Speaker 10: been There were remnants. There were remnants.
Speaker 3: Horse breadcrumbs, Marvin First of the weekend.
Speaker 2: I got two best for UDP.
Speaker 16: First, Best Royals catcher Salvador Prez future Hall of Famer,
Speaker 16: stole a base yesterday. It was his first stolen basins
Speaker 16: twenty twenty one, seven hundred and fifty five regular season games.

Speaker 4: Alrighty Paul, Best and worst, I'm gonna go. Best of
Speaker 4: the weekend Caitlin Clark with thirty seven and ten. She
Speaker 4: should play the sky every week she kills them. And
Speaker 4: the other best of the weekend. Backup quarterback for the
Speaker 4: Cowboys Joe Milton nine to thirteen, one seventy nine, two touchdowns.
Speaker 4: Every year this time of year we talk about Joe Milton.
Speaker 4: He's gonna be on a roster, He's gonna get his
Speaker 4: own team someday. He looks fantastic. I don't know why
Speaker 4: people don't trade for him unless there's something we don't know.
Speaker 3: He's got one of the strongest arms in the NFL.
Speaker 3: And every time I go man, I love Joe Milton.
Speaker 3: I usually say it in August, I don't say it
Speaker 3: again the rest of the year. But I do love
Speaker 3: watching Joe Milton.
Speaker 2: He can air it.
Speaker 3: Out, Brandy and Iowa, Hi, Brandy.
Speaker 6: Hey, Dan.
Speaker 12: First best is just the announcement earlier and about the
Speaker 12: new show after yours ends. But the first thing I
Speaker 12: want to know is it's kind of a two parter.
Speaker 12: Is are they eligible to submit for the twenty twenty
Speaker 12: six Sports Emmys if they start in the end of August?
Speaker 12: And what if they were to win before the DP show.
Speaker 2: I would be fine with that.
Speaker 3: I don't know as far as the legalities of submitting
Speaker 3: a tape now, I think you have to have a
Speaker 3: full year I think, but I don't know that. And
Speaker 3: if the perhaps perlof show that will follow hours would
Speaker 3: win the Sports Emmy, even nominated for a Sports Emmy,
Speaker 3: I would be thrilled because it's a win for the building.
