Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. It's our two on this Friday, Dan and
Speaker 1: the Dan at Stan Patrick Show. Adam Schefter reporting two
Speaker 1: more Titans have tested positive today per source, two more
Speaker 1: Titans players. That's what I thought was happening or going
Speaker 1: to happen, and that's why the NFL decided that they
Speaker 1: were going to postpone that game with the Steelers, because
Speaker 1: they were probably figuring and fearing there would be more
Speaker 1: positive tests. And that's what's happened so far. The issue
Speaker 1: I have are concerned that I have is what happens
Speaker 1: the following week when the Titans play a home game
Speaker 1: against the Buffalo Bills. How many players are going to
Speaker 1: be available. If you'd like get in touch with the program,
Speaker 1: you can dial us up eight seven seven three. D

Speaker 1: and Twitter handle at DP show Second Morning to Peacock.
Speaker 1: That's where you can find the show. You can watch
Speaker 1: for free download the app, and our radio affiliates around
Speaker 1: the country. Pull question mclovin from the first hour? Are
Speaker 1: we keeping it in the second hour? We could switch
Speaker 1: it up. Which player, which team would you beat? A
Speaker 1: week's play won't make the Super Bowl or win the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. The Jets run away with it over the Lions.
Speaker 1: I have a personal poll question, okay, and it's a
Speaker 1: two part one. Who's going to win the title? First?
Speaker 1: The Los Angeles Clippers or the Philadelphia seventy six Ers
Speaker 1: with their former coach Glen Doc Rivers. I think it's
Speaker 1: an interesting question. My second one is who's bandwagonsh I
Speaker 1: jump on the seventy Sixers or the Nets? Wow? I
Speaker 1: guess I would jump on the Nets. I would jump
Speaker 1: on it early because maybe this goes well. There's a
Speaker 1: lot that has to go well. Steve Nash is coaching
Speaker 1: Kyrie KD kde is going to be close to two
Speaker 1: years without playing basketball. You got the Kyrie factor good
Speaker 1: and bad. You do have, you have depth there. I
Speaker 1: would go with the Nets because the first couple of
Speaker 1: years you got a honeymoon period and then after that,
Speaker 1: I don't know if it comes unraveled the seventy six ers.
Speaker 1: I'm just not sure. You know, Doc and the Clippers
Speaker 1: parted ways and reports came out about chemistry problems in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. It was tough for Doc to piece this altogether.
Speaker 1: When you brought in Kyrie playoff pe and then with
Speaker 1: the roster that overachieved the year before, and you had
Speaker 1: a championship caliber roster here, and this is going to
Speaker 1: be challenging. I look at the seventy sixers as a
Speaker 1: younger Clippers team as far as do all the pieces fit,
Speaker 1: chemistry problems because it you know, it's reported that embeat
Speaker 1: in Ben Simmons do not get along. That will be difficult.
Speaker 1: You know, you're trying to get a headstart. When you
Speaker 1: take over a team like this, You're already going to
Speaker 1: be working a little bit harder than you need to.
Speaker 1: Doc has singled out Ben Simmons as being a you know,
Speaker 1: one of those transformational type players. Is being a great
Speaker 1: player or the potential to be a great player. You know,
Speaker 1: he's got credentials. He's been good before with star players.
Speaker 1: I mean, I go back to Tracy McGrady and Grant
Speaker 1: Hill working together. You know, he did it in Boston
Speaker 1: with those personalities, and with the Clippers, he was able
Speaker 1: to get them DeAndre Jordan, Blake Griffin, and Chris Paul
Speaker 1: to play together. I think for the most part, they
Speaker 1: just didn't succeed. But he couldn't on a short you know,
Speaker 1: in a tight window, get all of this to work
Speaker 1: in the bubble there, and it's a tricky situation that
Speaker 1: he's walked into. But I was surprised that Doc took
Speaker 1: this because and maybe just the enticement of I've got
Speaker 1: two players who could turn out to be Hall of famers,
Speaker 1: but I just don't know if they worked together. And
Speaker 1: then there was talk that Mike D'Antoni was the second
Speaker 1: choice here. I don't understand D'Antoni if he was there
Speaker 1: with the seventy sixers, because I've got Ben Simmons, and
Speaker 1: while he is interesting and a matchup nightmare, I just
Speaker 1: don't think he's the guy that I can trust at
Speaker 1: the end of games. He can't shoot. Joe Lmbid could
Speaker 1: be interesting in a Dan Tony offense, but you know,
Speaker 1: understand this or I'll remind you of this. Mike D'Antoni
Speaker 1: hasn't won anything. I mean, they're really interesting regular season teams.
Speaker 1: That Phoenix Suns team that lost to the Spurs when
Speaker 1: Steve Nash got knocked into the scorers table and he
Speaker 1: had a couple of players, including Amari Stodemeyer getting suspended.
Speaker 1: That team, you know was good enough to win a title,
Speaker 1: but Mike is you know, he's an offensive minded guy
Speaker 1: and they're fun to watch, but he doesn't win, and
Speaker 1: that would be my big concern. I'm going to bring
Speaker 1: him into Philadelphia and now what you're going to trade him? Bead?
Speaker 1: You want to bring in James Hart, Like, there's too
Speaker 1: many pieces here. I don't need that. And Doc's going
Speaker 1: to come in and try to make the best of this.
Speaker 1: You got Al Horford making one million dollars. Now, he
Speaker 1: did have Tobias Harris with the Clippers and brought out
Speaker 1: the best in Tobias Harris. But going into that situation,
Speaker 1: it just feels like you're gonna have chemistry issues again. Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: I wonder if Ben Simmons, though, can be I don't
Speaker 1: fixed or developed because Ben Simmons is twenty three. When
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard was twenty three, he was averaging sixteen points,
Speaker 1: seven rebounds and was a defensive stopper who was a
Speaker 1: nice offensive players, nothing special. He was a pretty decent
Speaker 1: three point shooter, though, but then he broke out and
Speaker 1: became a guy averaging twenty five points a game at
Speaker 1: age six, twenty seven twenty eight, but he's got good
Speaker 1: form on his shot, right. Ben Simmons doesn't have form.
Speaker 1: You know, Lonzo Ball doesn't have form. There's only so
Speaker 1: much you can do when you get to this point
Speaker 1: in your career, even if you're twenty two, twenty three,
Speaker 1: twenty four. Rajon Rondo never became a great shooter. He
Speaker 1: became a clutch shooter, but not a great shooter. And
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a Hall of Famer. You know, Lonzo
Speaker 1: Ball can't shoot free throws. He doesn't want to, you know,
Speaker 1: he's very tentative on the perimeter. And Ben Simmons same way.
Speaker 1: I can't have my best player or my primary ball
Speaker 1: handler not able to hit a shot or be afraid
Speaker 1: to take a shot or if you foul him late
Speaker 1: in the game, And that would be my big concern
Speaker 1: with Ben Simmons. I don't think the shot is horrible.
Speaker 1: I think it's okay, but he does have he has
Speaker 1: no confidence in it right now. And that's where all
Speaker 1: I would do is, can you work with somebody who
Speaker 1: just helps you on form. It feels like Mark el
Speaker 1: Foltz has a better shot than Ben Simmons, And remember
Speaker 1: what mark el Foltz went through but Ben is a
Speaker 1: very good defender, a very good passer, and it's six
Speaker 1: nine running the floor. You know, can he be a
Speaker 1: Magic Johnson? Magic worked on his shot. Magic never had
Speaker 1: a jump shot. He had a set shot, but at
Speaker 1: that size, Magic worked on it and it made him such,
Speaker 1: you know, an even more dangerous player because you had
Speaker 1: to respect him taking a shot. Ben, you don't. But
Speaker 1: Doc takes over and you still have some openings here.
Speaker 1: Now they're talking about Mike D'Antoni maybe in Indiana. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't get the Mike D'Antoni thing. Now, he's offensive genius,
Speaker 1: but I got like, who's winning because it always feels
Speaker 1: like his teams get to a certain point and then
Speaker 1: you realize they're not getting further than this. He will
Speaker 1: make you relevant, he'll make you fun. Can you win
Speaker 1: a seven game series with that style? And so far
Speaker 1: that answer is no. Yeah, McLevin, I think they would
Speaker 1: have won in Houston if it wasn't for the Warriors dynasty.
Speaker 1: I think that was a chance. Wait, but you can't.
Speaker 1: I mean, but that's like the team's a loss of Jordan.
Speaker 1: I mean that team was, that's a great, great, great,
Speaker 1: But they don't get credit like Patrick Ewing doesn't get
Speaker 1: credit for not winning a title during the Jordan era,
Speaker 1: Barkley doesn't, Carl Malone doesn't. They get some credit, Sean
Speaker 1: Kemp like they get the least they were in that discussion.
Speaker 1: They don't know. They even achiem Elijah One won two
Speaker 1: titles when Michael's playing baseball and we hold it against
Speaker 1: him the Rockets. Oh yeah, but Michael wasn't playing. Come on,
Speaker 1: that style doesn't advance. They could have won that game
Speaker 1: if Harden could have hit the ocean, but he didn't.
Speaker 1: And that falls back on the coaching too. At some point,
Speaker 1: don't you say, how about we take a layup? Hey,
Speaker 1: how about a mid range jumper? So how about the Clippers?
Speaker 1: Is that that anything? I mean, they still have Kawhi
Speaker 1: and Paul George? Right, how long are you going to
Speaker 1: have him for? Ty Lou if he takes the job.
Speaker 1: But how long are you going to have him for?
Speaker 1: And that I don't know because they can't opt out.
Speaker 1: But you gave up everything I talked about a win now.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any team in any sport that
Speaker 1: is more win now than the Clippers were because you
Speaker 1: gave up every one of your draft picks basically for
Speaker 1: the next five years, six years to bring in Paul
Speaker 1: George and you got Kawhi Leonard And I don't that
Speaker 1: roster is not a great roster. It's a roster that
Speaker 1: always seemed entitled this year, oh well, hey, we'll flip
Speaker 1: on a switch, and it doesn't work that way. As
Speaker 1: much as we think it does, it doesn't work that way,
Speaker 1: and they proved it. Yeah, Paul, I don't know if
Speaker 1: there's a good comparison. Mike D'Antoni kind of reminds me
Speaker 1: of Chip Kelly. His offenses are really entertaining, really fun,
Speaker 1: really inventive, definitely exciting, and occasionally they work really well.
Speaker 1: The year in Philadelphia with Nick Foles, chip Kelly looked
Speaker 1: like the next thing, and then it kind of goes
Speaker 1: to a certain point and it doesn't go any further. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it doesn't take long for people to find you out.
Speaker 1: You don't have enough time. You know. The regular season
Speaker 1: is you just get to run up and down the floor.
Speaker 1: The postseason is more wrestling. You know, you're it's tactical,
Speaker 1: and you saw that, you know, the heat against the Bucks.
Speaker 1: The Bucks during the regular season, if they're playing the Heat.
Speaker 1: Heat are probably getting blown out during the postseason. The
Speaker 1: Heat came up with a defensive strategy. They had time,
Speaker 1: they focused. We're playing these guys for the next week
Speaker 1: and a half, and they came up with a great
Speaker 1: defensive scheme there. That's what happens when you face the Rockets,
Speaker 1: because you know what happens during the regular season. You
Speaker 1: let those guys just go up and down the floor.
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook, his shooting, his lack of a jump shot
Speaker 1: a consistent one, doesn't stand out during the regular season.
Speaker 1: In the postseason, when the team is basically saying, Russ,
Speaker 1: go ahead, shoot, then it stands out. James Harden, Hey,
Speaker 1: I can go nine for thirty six from the floor
Speaker 1: during the regular sea season, okay, but he can't go
Speaker 1: nine for thirty six from the floor in the postseason.
Speaker 1: That's when it stands out, and that's when you get eliminated.
Speaker 1: And that's what we've seen. We spent some time in
Speaker 1: the first time. We're talking about Kyrie Irving the gift
Speaker 1: that keeps on giving. He's on a podcast with Kevin
Speaker 1: Durant and now that he has KD he said that
Speaker 1: he now has somebody he can trust with the game
Speaker 1: on the line, since seconds left, one point game. Who's
Speaker 1: shooting you were, Kyrie Katie depends on who's hot. I
Speaker 1: don't see it that as anything other than that, like
Speaker 1: one three picking roll or it's an iso for either
Speaker 1: one of us, or is something great for our team.
Speaker 1: I'm one thing I'm I've always been comfortable with is
Speaker 1: you know, I felt like I was the best option
Speaker 1: on every team I played for, you know, down the stretch.
Speaker 1: This is the first time in my career where I
Speaker 1: could look down and be like that, make that shout too. Okay,
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with him thinking he is the best
Speaker 1: closer on any team he's played on. I mean, it's fine.
Speaker 1: I mean, you great shooters that mentality. But if you're
Speaker 1: a guy like Marcus Smart who thinks he's the best
Speaker 1: closer for the Celtics, then you're delusional. But Kyrie has
Speaker 1: hit one huge shot in his career. He's injury prone,
Speaker 1: and he hit one shot and you can say it's
Speaker 1: one of the two or three biggest shots in the
Speaker 1: history of the NBA. It won a title beat Golden State.
Speaker 1: But and then, just so you know, sort of the
Speaker 1: background here, Kyrie then said, look, I'm not singling out,
Speaker 1: you know, Lebron and saying that he was in clutch.
Speaker 1: Why can't you know, you know, why is it always
Speaker 1: brother versus brother here? I'm just saying that this is
Speaker 1: you know, Katie is a guy that I can trust.
Speaker 1: But this is not about Lebron, James. It is about Lebron.
Speaker 1: If you say Katie is the guy that you now
Speaker 1: can trust down the stretch, because you did play with
Speaker 1: Lebron and apparently you didn't trust him down the stretch
Speaker 1: and I did wonder if Lebron has been asked, is
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis the best player he's ever played with? He
Speaker 1: was asked after Game two of the first round series
Speaker 1: against the Blazers. Eighty is one of those uniforms, and
Speaker 1: he does things that some of my other great teammates
Speaker 1: are not capable of doing. But in the same sense,
Speaker 1: I'll play with Dwayne Wade and he could do some
Speaker 1: things that you know, the U is not capable of doing.
Speaker 1: And also played with Kyrie Irving and he can do
Speaker 1: some things that d Wade and eighty is not capable
Speaker 1: of doing. So I've had the luxury of playing with
Speaker 1: some great players and that's just that's just three of them. Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe he's not being truthful there, totally honest, but he is.
Speaker 1: He is answering it in a way where he's at
Speaker 1: least respectful to d Wade. Kyrie d Wade is the
Speaker 1: best player that Lebron has played with. Anthony Davis is
Speaker 1: a better player than Kyrie Irving, Lebron could come out
Speaker 1: and say, a d is the best player, you know,
Speaker 1: my best running mate that I've had since Cleveland. However
Speaker 1: you want to phrase it, but it felt like then
Speaker 1: Kyrie is trying to walk it back a little bit.
Speaker 1: But you know, he said it. He feels it. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's fine, then own it. He says, Hey, if I
Speaker 1: want to single out somebody, I'll say their name, Well,
Speaker 1: then say his name, because by not saying his name,
Speaker 1: you are singling out Lebron James. It's not like Kevin
Speaker 1: Love's gonna go wait, he didn't say me. It's like,
Speaker 1: it's just Lebron James. Okay, By the way, I loved
Speaker 1: how manische Meta, who covers the Jets for the New
Speaker 1: York Daily News, started his column today. These Jets have
Speaker 1: found unimaginable creative ways to torture their loyal followers and
Speaker 1: themselves during this train wreck season. The latest installment of
Speaker 1: this gang Green dumpster Fire featured a masked man coaching scared,
Speaker 1: an awful revamped offensive line, an undisciplined defense that committed
Speaker 1: one annoying ill time penalty after another, and a general
Speaker 1: feeling of an aptitude surrounding the NFL's undisputed laughing stock
Speaker 1: WHOA no need to read any further there. That was
Speaker 1: a mess last night. But this is a bad team.
Speaker 1: It's when you normally, if I said that this game
Speaker 1: was going to be played on Sunday afternoon at one o'clock,
Speaker 1: you're not watching. If you're a Jets fan Broncos fan,
Speaker 1: maybe you had somebody on your fantasy team, although I
Speaker 1: don't know who you would have on your fantasy team
Speaker 1: on those teams, but national stage and everything is amplified
Speaker 1: all of a sudden. The Jets are really dirty on defense,
Speaker 1: chief shot artist Adam Gay's not gonna lose his job,
Speaker 1: and he's coaching scared. Sam Darneld work in progress. All
Speaker 1: of these things stand out because it's a standalone game here,
Speaker 1: so the reaction is with far more force than it
Speaker 1: would be if this game played out this way on
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon, nobody is talking about it. But because the
Speaker 1: last night, it's the Thursday night game and we're watching. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I stayed up for the end of that game and
Speaker 1: saw all the stuff the Jets players were doing. That's
Speaker 1: not an accident, is it? Because Greg Williams is a
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. Everyone knows his history with bounties and with
Speaker 1: cheap shots. Does he sit down his players and say
Speaker 1: this is what I want because they don't just absorb that.
Speaker 1: They don't just join the Jets and say, oh, Greg
Speaker 1: Williams is my defensive coordinator. I go out in cheap shot.
Speaker 1: People at the end of games were out of So
Speaker 1: does he pull his defensive guys say and say, hey,
Speaker 1: if you get a chance, drop somebody. I don't mind
Speaker 1: fifteen here and there. Steve Smith said it after the game,
Speaker 1: the analyst, this is not an accident. He's got to
Speaker 1: be telling these guys to do this. Yeah. I think
Speaker 1: with Greg Williams, there's a track record there. If it
Speaker 1: was a defensive coordinator who didn't have a track record,
Speaker 1: then we might look at it differently. Here's Vic Fangio,
Speaker 1: he's the Broncos head coach on not going out to
Speaker 1: shake Adam Gaze's hand at the end of the game.
Speaker 1: Just wanted to avoid any confrontation at the end of
Speaker 1: the game and having it get ugly there. So I
Speaker 1: tried to get our guys to leave quickly just to
Speaker 1: avoid anything happening there. And I thought it was the
Speaker 1: prudent thing to do. Now, you can read a lot
Speaker 1: into that because he's basically saying there was going to
Speaker 1: be a confrontation if we went out there and shook
Speaker 1: their hands, and I would have no problem with that
Speaker 1: because they were protecting their quarterback at least trying to.
Speaker 1: And he got hit. Brett Rippon got hit a couple
Speaker 1: of times. They're late, But I'll mention this again, this
Speaker 1: is how bad the Jets are. You're playing at home,
Speaker 1: your coach maybe coaching for his job. You're facing a
Speaker 1: guy who wasn't even drafted, who has not played, not
Speaker 1: started a game. So he's a rookie on the road,
Speaker 1: short work week, and he's never started a game before,
Speaker 1: and you allowed thirty seven points. We'll take a break.
Speaker 1: More phone calls coming up, Adam Adam Sandler coming up
Speaker 1: in an hour from now. His new movie is called
Speaker 1: Hubie Halloween, and I have a cameo in that as
Speaker 1: a school principal. And I think I look the part.
Speaker 1: The problem is I didn't act the part. Yes, boy,
Speaker 1: there's a couple look like a couple hundred kids in
Speaker 1: like a cafeteria scene. How do you how do you correct?
Speaker 1: Are they all extras? Are they kids that have acting
Speaker 1: experience or just kids? They're just well, some are kids.
Speaker 1: Sandler's two daughters were in the scene. Kevin James's son
Speaker 1: was in the scene. How does the director corral one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty kids? You basically have to threaten them,
Speaker 1: like you're not going to get lunch. If you guys
Speaker 1: don't behave or you know, just be quiet for this
Speaker 1: amount of time, you're not going to be in the
Speaker 1: movie because what will happen is it's like chess pieces.
Speaker 1: They'll move them around a little bit. You know, you
Speaker 1: want to get the right people in the right situation
Speaker 1: on camera, but it was chaos. It's like if you're
Speaker 1: trying to herd some cats and get them all going
Speaker 1: in the same direction. That's what it is with these kids.
Speaker 1: And they're you know, some that are squirrely in there others.
Speaker 1: You know, we're great and it's it's a scene that
Speaker 1: has a lot of chaos. They have a lot of
Speaker 1: energy and so you're trying to contain that energy before
Speaker 1: they have to explode in there, and it's a fun scene.
Speaker 1: Take a break twenty one after the hour. This is

Speaker 1: by searching f s R. We were just watching the
Speaker 1: clip from when the Danet's lost a bet to me
Speaker 1: and they had to be cheerleaders during the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: week in Houston. So they dressed up for the University
Speaker 1: of Houston and they were at the basketball game. Remember
Speaker 1: Taco Falls was playing Central Florida was playing Houston. Taco
Speaker 1: Falls came out seven foot six and I went, WHOA,
Speaker 1: that dude is the biggest guy probably ever seen. And
Speaker 1: then I realized that Danets loved being cheerleaders. It wasn't
Speaker 1: punishment at all. Yeah, Paul, we found out the game
Speaker 1: was on ESPN two and called up to the mothership
Speaker 1: and put in a good word with someone and the
Speaker 1: director of the game may or may not have led
Speaker 1: the entire broadcast with the four of Us running out
Speaker 1: of the tunnel on National TV. Yeah, they probably didn't
Speaker 1: want to admit that publicly that they were going to
Speaker 1: single out the Dan Patrick Show on an ESPN two broadcast.
Speaker 1: Peter Schreger, insider for the NFL Network, a former mail
Speaker 1: cheerleader and one of the stars for Good Morning Football. Peter,
Speaker 1: good to have you on. How are you great? To
Speaker 1: have you on? No cheerleading in my history, but a
Speaker 1: big fan of the the Dannettes. Getting out there for
Speaker 1: Taco falls. Oh it was great. Um, let me ask
Speaker 1: you our poll question. Mclovin hit trigger with the poll
Speaker 1: question today. Okay, which team would you better? Week's pay?
Speaker 1: Will not be in the Super Bowl? Our guy win
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl in over the next decade. The Jets,
Speaker 1: the Lions, the Bengals, the Washington football team, the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: and Dan asked us to put the Giants on there.
Speaker 1: So won't win agade, Yeah, won't win a Super Bowl. Yeah,
Speaker 1: looking at the roster right now, and looking at what's
Speaker 1: coming up. I'm gonna say it's tough for me to
Speaker 1: say anything other than the Jets at the moment right now,
Speaker 1: and that was the last night was brutal, guys. I mean,
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm piling on im. We're you know,
Speaker 1: I'm in New York. It's just there. The lack of
Speaker 1: talent on that roster right now and Frank Gore being
Speaker 1: your go to guy at age thirty seven is a
Speaker 1: cool feature and a nice, fun, you know, human interest
Speaker 1: story that Tom Naldi would do before, but it shouldn't
Speaker 1: really be the reality of what's going on. And I
Speaker 1: was pointing out how bad this is. You know that
Speaker 1: you have a rookie quarterback making his first start, short
Speaker 1: work week, on the road and the Jets allow thirty
Speaker 1: seven points. But I don't know what was worse, the
Speaker 1: offense or the defense with the Jets, at least with
Speaker 1: Greg Williams. I'm supposed to have a defensive genius there.
Speaker 1: You know, there were cheap shots there. They've had six
Speaker 1: roughing the passer calls on their team so far. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is this is on Greg Williams a lot too,
Speaker 1: not just Adam Gaze there's a there's a false bravado
Speaker 1: that comes with it. You know, Jamal Adams gets shipped
Speaker 1: out and it's you know, I think Jamal might get
Speaker 1: bored in that scheme, and like there's a laugh and
Speaker 1: a wink to the camera, and it's like, I don't know, man.
Speaker 1: I watched the Jets last night and you said the
Speaker 1: four roughing the passers. They lead the league by a
Speaker 1: ton in that penalty, give up thirty seven points. They're undisciplined.
Speaker 1: There's penalties all over and after the game, like Vic
Speaker 1: Fangio is like a beloved guy in the league, and
Speaker 1: I don't know him and Gays's relationship, but Fanjio's not
Speaker 1: even shaking gass hand because of the way things ended.
Speaker 1: It's just it's one thing to lose. I said this
Speaker 1: on Good Morning Football the other day. It's like, if
Speaker 1: you've got Burrow and te Higgins and you've got this
Speaker 1: young up and coming team and they're coming to get
Speaker 1: like you'll watch your team. I'm watching Jeff Smith and
Speaker 1: no offense to Jeff Smith at Boston College undrafted, great story,
Speaker 1: and I'm watching Brexton Barrios and I'm like, they've got
Speaker 1: first round picks in the top ten every year? Where
Speaker 1: are they like? Where is the talent? Why is this
Speaker 1: so bleak? For Jets and Jets fans? Last night was brutal.
Speaker 1: But if you're the Jets and the Giants and you have,
Speaker 1: let's say somehow one of those two gets the number
Speaker 1: one pick overall, what are they doing? You got Sam Darnold,
Speaker 1: you got Daniel Jones? Is there any question what you're
Speaker 1: doing with that number one overall pick? The Jets? One
Speaker 1: is a discussion to have. Has Sam Donald regress this year?
Speaker 1: Is the question? And you could say, oh, it's Gays's fall.
Speaker 1: I look over some of these other teams and a
Speaker 1: lot of teams have injuries, and a lot of teams
Speaker 1: have problems, and their quarterbacks are not taking giant steps back.
Speaker 1: If you love Donald and you really think that Donald's
Speaker 1: your future, you could probably trade a first overall pick
Speaker 1: for two or three other first round picks, and then
Speaker 1: you've got the Jamal Adams pick and you suddenly had
Speaker 1: a treasure chest or treasure trove of draft picks. But
Speaker 1: I don't know, do you just say let's scrap it
Speaker 1: and start again. And if Sam Donald goes on and
Speaker 1: has a great career with the Steelers or the Falcons
Speaker 1: or whoever else. God bless him. It just wasn't meant
Speaker 1: to be. Trevor Lawrence is sitting in there at number one.
Speaker 1: I don't care what the team is. If you finished
Speaker 1: so bad that you couldn't get out of the number
Speaker 1: one spot, you have to consider it long and hard. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because if you are if you have trust in your quarterback,
Speaker 1: then you don't finish with the worst record in football,
Speaker 1: exactly right. And Cliff Kingsbury came into Arizona and said, Hey,
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen, some nice parting gifts for you. You get
Speaker 1: to keep your jersey. I'm going to bring in Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray here. I think that would be the situation even
Speaker 1: with the Giants, with Daniel Jones. Potentially, Let's see how
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones finishes. But he looks sloppy. He looks like
Speaker 1: he's no shut thing right now. And you know, the
Speaker 1: Giants fans, I hear from them a lot, and the
Speaker 1: Giants fans are like, yeah, but say Kwan got hurt
Speaker 1: and okay, Well, Dave Getleman's had three picks in the
Speaker 1: top six over the last three years and they've all
Speaker 1: been offensive selections, and the Giants have one of the
Speaker 1: worst offenses in the league. I at some point the
Speaker 1: fans are right. I look for a pound of flesh
Speaker 1: and say, no, wait a second, Maybe we shouldn't have
Speaker 1: taken a running back second overall, or maybe we didn't
Speaker 1: have to take Janiel Jones sixth overall, or maybe we
Speaker 1: didn't take an offensive tackle fourth overall. The draft is
Speaker 1: such an imprecise science, and yet I look at the
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, I look at the Ravens. All these
Speaker 1: teams have injuries, and yet they don't seem to miss
Speaker 1: that many beats. And the Giants and Jets of injuries,
Speaker 1: these teams get blown out by twenty points. Two teams
Speaker 1: like Brett Rippin lead teams and Nick mullencled teams. It's
Speaker 1: I feel bad because Dan, you know, the New York
Speaker 1: market is so important for the NFL, so important for
Speaker 1: the NFL, and already by October fifth, neither team is
Speaker 1: relevant in the conversation. I just saw this tweet from
Speaker 1: Beaumoney Jones of the Mothers. He said, did COVID save
Speaker 1: Adam Gase's job? If you had that stadium full of
Speaker 1: fans last night? How ugly would have would it have
Speaker 1: gotten I don't know that that might be a stretch,
Speaker 1: but you know, sometimes we do react to how your
Speaker 1: fans react. Yeah, and look, the Jets fans are vocal,
Speaker 1: So whether they're in the building or not, I don't
Speaker 1: know if Beaumani reads the New York papers and listens
Speaker 1: to the New York Radio like it is being trust me,
Speaker 1: it's resonating how upset people are. Adam Gase, this is
Speaker 1: not an excuse for gas, and it's not a great reason.
Speaker 1: But who are you going to Is Greg Williams going
Speaker 1: to be your head coach moving forward? Is Dal Loggins?
Speaker 1: Is Jim Bob Cooter? Like it's almost what do you
Speaker 1: if you fire Gas? All right, you get your pound
Speaker 1: of flesh for a day, and there's still four months
Speaker 1: left in the season, and now you've got Greg Williams
Speaker 1: or Jim Bob Cooter as the head coach and then
Speaker 1: what like at the very least, Gays and Darnold seemed
Speaker 1: to have some sort of relationship the bye weeks in November.
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised I didn't fire him after last night,
Speaker 1: But I also I don't think there's an alternative on
Speaker 1: that staff, and that's nothing great to rally around. It's
Speaker 1: not that I'm saying give gays a shot. I'm just
Speaker 1: saying I don't know if there's a better option in house.
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter tweeted, don't know if you saw there's two
Speaker 1: more Titans players tested positive this morning in Tennessee for
Speaker 1: a source there. I know that this game has been postponed.
Speaker 1: I'm concerned about the following week and the number of positives,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna be hosting a game against the Buffalo Bills,
Speaker 1: you know, quarantining, and I don't know that like this
Speaker 1: is this could get a whole lot bigger. What do
Speaker 1: you think? These results come out about nine thirty am
Speaker 1: every day, So I really am doing, you know, all
Speaker 1: I can in the morning to not stare at that
Speaker 1: clock and say, what's going to happen when we get
Speaker 1: the results from these player tests. The one that I'm
Speaker 1: watching and I'm still watching are the vikings because if
Speaker 1: the Titans can keep it within the Titans, and that
Speaker 1: is a terrible story and it's horrible for the NFL,
Speaker 1: and it's of course bad for the people who have
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen In the Tennessee organization. But if they can
Speaker 1: keep it within that, we can kind of manage and
Speaker 1: work with bye weeks and work with their opponents. The
Speaker 1: second it starts spreading like an amiba and you say, okay, well,
Speaker 1: the Vikings play the Titans, and now we know the
Speaker 1: Vikings have two guys, so that the Vikings opponent this week,
Speaker 1: the Texans, they can't have a game. And then next
Speaker 1: week that's when this thing really sets the season off
Speaker 1: the rails. I think everyone is trying their best, but
Speaker 1: when you see aj turrelfh and the Falcons has it,
Speaker 1: and you know, I know for a fact the Falcons
Speaker 1: coach GM those guys weren't sleeping Saturday night because they
Speaker 1: didn't know what they were getting. Sunday morning, when the
Speaker 1: results came out, it was a blessing that none of
Speaker 1: them had it. But that's every team right now, and
Speaker 1: the season in the schedule, it is as fluid as
Speaker 1: it could be. I am sorry for all the Tennessee fans.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for the Pittsburgh fans. But if we can
Speaker 1: keep it the two teams and find a way to
Speaker 1: get this thing back on the tracks, that is a
Speaker 1: major win for the NFL right now. I've got an
Speaker 1: upset of the weekend, or at least a strong potential
Speaker 1: for upset of the weekend. Do you want to guess
Speaker 1: you're taking the Lions over the Saints. No, I'm taking
Speaker 1: the Dolphins over the Seahawks. Oh do tell? Did you
Speaker 1: want in on that? I'm very intrigued by that. Let
Speaker 1: me hear your reasoning. I don't have any reasoning. It's
Speaker 1: just last week I said the Lions would beat Arizona
Speaker 1: for no other reason, then they shouldn't beat Arizona. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've got the Dolphins beating Russell Wilson Junior the third.
Speaker 1: I love it. I love the courage, I love the take,
Speaker 1: and it's not crazy. It's one of those where everyone's
Speaker 1: pumping up Seattle, yet their defense has shown a lot
Speaker 1: of weaknesses. And fitz he's got ten days, looked good
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. Wait. I didn't go that far to
Speaker 1: say you can't give Ryan Fitzpatrick ten days to prepare
Speaker 1: for you. You're in trouble. If we know one thing
Speaker 1: in sports, if we've learned anything in our combined sixty
Speaker 1: years of doing this, I would think we know that.
Speaker 1: You don't give Ryan Fitzpatricks he is the greatest September
Speaker 1: player probably in history set for Patrick Mahomes, who hasn't
Speaker 1: lost guy and hasn't thrown an interception thirty two touchdown,
Speaker 1: zero interceptions in the month of December September. The great
Speaker 1: thing that I've found out and this is my breaking news.
Speaker 1: When he was doing that one, two, three, four that
Speaker 1: you saw in the video and he was counting him out,
Speaker 1: that wasn't a touchdown passes that was that was in
Speaker 1: response and I hear this from multiple people in Kansas
Speaker 1: City to him being voted fourth. Oh yeah, the NFL network,
Speaker 1: Like who even cares about the NFL? That's how deep
Speaker 1: he's looking for motivation because everyone had just told him
Speaker 1: he's the greatest thing. Ever, He's like, the NFL network
Speaker 1: voted me fourth on their top one hundred list, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do something. I mean, that is next level looking
Speaker 1: for That's Michael Jordan looking for motivation at le Bradford
Speaker 1: Smith type of stuff. Yeah. But I also wonder, and
Speaker 1: I said, in ten years from now, like what is
Speaker 1: what would be a disappointing season for Patrick or a
Speaker 1: career for Patrick Mahomes, Because you know, now we're looking
Speaker 1: at a dynasty. They've acknowledged that they think they could
Speaker 1: be the Patriots and have a dynasty. Here, if he
Speaker 1: has two super Bowl wins after fifteen years, is it
Speaker 1: a successful career. Yeah? But if you were to say,
Speaker 1: if you're Patrick Mahomes, would you sign up for two
Speaker 1: right now knowing you can't get three, four or five
Speaker 1: and six? How would you feel? I would think it
Speaker 1: would be that would be not fulfilling expectations. Yeah, to
Speaker 1: your point, But I wonder that you know, it's a
Speaker 1: half billion dollar contract. That's just this contract and then
Speaker 1: the next contract he's going to get. But you know,
Speaker 1: I just wonder how we're going to spin this because
Speaker 1: we tend to look at like Lebron, Hey, you won
Speaker 1: three titles, gonna win a fourth. Yeah, he also lost
Speaker 1: six of them, like we always yeah, but yeah, but Brady,
Speaker 1: look at the number of super Bowls he's lost. Montana
Speaker 1: never lost. You know, we always want to skew to
Speaker 1: the negative here. Yeah. The crazy part about what Mahomes
Speaker 1: is doing is that he's doing it in this era
Speaker 1: of football with parody being like the number one most
Speaker 1: important thing from the league, whether it be scheduling or
Speaker 1: whether it be free agency or just how they do it,
Speaker 1: and they've gotten better. They brought back everybody, And I
Speaker 1: try making this point as many times as possible, Like
Speaker 1: the coaching staff is all back too. So when the
Speaker 1: Eagles beat the Patriots, you see Frank Wright get a
Speaker 1: head coaching job and John D. Philippo takes an offensive
Speaker 1: coach coordinat driving. Like the coaching staff has decimated over
Speaker 1: an Eagles upset win over the Patriots. Chiefs run the
Speaker 1: table in the playoffs, win everything, and none of their
Speaker 1: coaches get hired for any other jobs. I guess the
Speaker 1: only potential of this thing falling apart is if, like
Speaker 1: the enemy gets a job, and then Spags gets a job,
Speaker 1: and then Mike Kafco, who's a quarterbacks coach, gets a job.
Speaker 1: That's when this thing caught. But the players, they're all young,
Speaker 1: really good and like each other, like I don't know
Speaker 1: if they're getting any worse anytime soon. Great to talk
Speaker 1: to you and enjoy your weekend. Always great to see you.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Bud, you me and Fitzy. Let's go yeah. Great.
Speaker 1: In September, Peter Schreeger, the star of Good Morning Football,
Speaker 1: or so he tells us, We'll take a break here.
Speaker 1: Phone calls coming up next year on The Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick's Show podcast. Be
Speaker 1: sure to catch us live every weekday morning nine until
Speaker 1: noon eastern six to nine Pacific on Fox Sports Radio,
Speaker 1: and you can find us on the iHeartRadio app at
Speaker 1: FSR or stream us live on the Peacock Act once
Speaker 1: again if you're just joining us. Adam Schefter reporting two
Speaker 1: more Titans players tested positive today in Tennessee some phone
Speaker 1: calls here, Jeff and Detroit. Hey Jeff, welcome back, Hey Dan,
Speaker 1: Happy meet Friday to you there. Thank you for you
Speaker 1: and the guys listen. I was just wondering, do you
Speaker 1: think that we'll hear from Lebron or rebuttal from Lebron
Speaker 1: in the near future about the Kyrie situation? Maybe some
Speaker 1: reference to somebody saying, you know, clutch or something like that.
Speaker 1: You know how these guys pass messages into your media
Speaker 1: and I have another question for you, okay, and Adam
Speaker 1: Sandler has been doing this a while. Yeah, how many
Speaker 1: movies you got under your belt? And which one was
Speaker 1: your favorite? I think this is my eighteenth, which really
Speaker 1: sounds pretentious. I don't know how many Sandler movies I've
Speaker 1: been in. I think it's eighteen and my favorite was
Speaker 1: Just Go with It, where I was on stage with
Speaker 1: Nicole Kidman and Jenniferraniston and Dave Dave Matthews. That was
Speaker 1: degree of difficulty for me was off the charts because
Speaker 1: I had to add lib this and you have these
Speaker 1: are high end actresses up there. Dave Matthews was a goofball.
Speaker 1: He was a lot of fun to be around. But
Speaker 1: Anniston and Kidman, they had no idea who I was,
Speaker 1: and they actually thought maybe I was an actor, and
Speaker 1: then they found out later that I was just a
Speaker 1: sports guy. In fact, Keith Urban, Nicole Kidman's husband, came
Speaker 1: on set and she didn't We had no conversation whatsoever.
Speaker 1: And then he came right up to me and started
Speaker 1: talking about Tennessee sports, and I think she was kind
Speaker 1: of surprised that her husband knew who I was. But
Speaker 1: that was that was a lot of fun, but that
Speaker 1: I was really nervous doing that. What was the other
Speaker 1: question that he had about, Oh, no, Lebron's not gonna
Speaker 1: say anything in the media. Also, Lebron, this is what
Speaker 1: Lebron has to say to Kyrie Irving I don't have
Speaker 1: time to answer. I'm trying to win another title. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's all. And Lebron is passive aggressive, you know, he
Speaker 1: hears everything as well, and I don't know if he
Speaker 1: cares that Kyrie says, hey, now I got a guy
Speaker 1: I can count on in the clutch because I read
Speaker 1: you the numbers in the first hour of the show.
Speaker 1: I mean there's a it's a stark disparity between the two. Yeah. See,
Speaker 1: Richard Jefferson was actually tweeted about this, and he has
Speaker 1: a video of that Game seven shot that Kyrie hit,
Speaker 1: and in the huddle, Lebron is saying, you, we need
Speaker 1: to get the ball to We need to get the
Speaker 1: ball to Kyrie and get that match up with Steph
Speaker 1: because Steph can't guard him. We need to get the
Speaker 1: ball to Kyrie. So even Lebron said Kyrie was the
Speaker 1: best option in that moment, well, I had a mismatch on, Yeah,
Speaker 1: would Kyrie have said, hey, we need to get the
Speaker 1: ball to Lebron if Lebron had a mismatch there? Since well,
Speaker 1: that's kind of what Kyrie said in that is like, whoever,
Speaker 1: whatever the best option is, whatever the best matchup is,
Speaker 1: you know, whoever is hot. Look, Kyrie can if he
Speaker 1: feels this way, great, I mean, fine, has every right
Speaker 1: to say who he feels. And you're going to show
Speaker 1: it on the court, all right. You've you've had when
Speaker 1: they when they measured these clutch shots in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: fourth quarter and overtime, He's made two shots in his
Speaker 1: career with the game tied, and he's made two one
Speaker 1: is you know won a championship. Lebron's had over thirty
Speaker 1: of those? Nathan in Los Angeles, Hi, Nate, what's on
Speaker 1: your mind today? Hey? How are you doing? Damn great? Nate?
Speaker 1: So my thought is on Doc Rivers. I find it
Speaker 1: very interesting when a coach gets hired by one team
Speaker 1: and then another team who has spent a few weeks
Speaker 1: now looking for coaches and considering their option suddenly drops
Speaker 1: everything and picks up your coach within two days. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if it says more about
Speaker 1: what the Sixers specifically think about Doc Rivers or what
Speaker 1: the league thinks about Doc Rivers. And maybe the Clippers
Speaker 1: were a little quick on this couple the trigger, I mean,
Speaker 1: do teams have ways of gauging how the rest of
Speaker 1: the league thinks about their own players and coaches. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what do you think it
Speaker 1: says more about that Maybe it was too quick a trigger.
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know. Well, I think that it was
Speaker 1: the seventy sixers started to just look and see who
Speaker 1: was out there. You want Doc, you want Mike D'Antoni,
Speaker 1: you want Doc, you want Tylo. I don't know who
Speaker 1: else they were looking at, but you know, there probably
Speaker 1: wasn't a long list of candidates that they were looking
Speaker 1: on here. And if you said you can have Doc,
Speaker 1: are you gonna have Mike D'Antoni, I'm gonna take Doc
Speaker 1: because I'm bringing him in for a specific reason. I
Speaker 1: have two big personalities here, and I gotta have them
Speaker 1: play together in d'antoni's system. I still have two big personalities,
Speaker 1: and now they have to adapt to a completely different system.
Speaker 1: And I think that that's really difficult to do on
Speaker 1: short notice. And I think Doc gives them an opportunity
Speaker 1: to keep that roster, although if you could move out Horford.
Speaker 1: I always love when I hear a GM say, yeah,
Speaker 1: we gotta get some shooters, Yeah, where are you gonna
Speaker 1: get them? Like? Who who is there? Is? There a
Speaker 1: special island you go to, like Shooters Island. Hey, just
Speaker 1: stopping by a six four six five guy? Can I
Speaker 1: get a Reddick type? What do you have? What do
Speaker 1: you have? It's oh yeah, yeah, I'll take that. Oh
Speaker 1: Duncan Robinson, Oh okay, we'll take him. Yeah. It's like
Speaker 1: what they talk about them more hockey bucks. You know,
Speaker 1: Janice really needs a guy like Anthony Davis to pair
Speaker 1: up with. Yeah, there's one of them. They're not three
Speaker 1: dudes like Anthony Davis out there. Yeah, the Greek freak
Speaker 1: he needs uh, he needs a Jordan. Really, who doesn't
Speaker 1: need a Jordan? Yeah? Mcglov I'll tell you all those
Speaker 1: shooters are Reddick. I love him, I see him every day.
Speaker 1: But his uh, he was such a defensive liability. And
Speaker 1: Dugan Robinson when he gets match on Lebron, it's just
Speaker 1: you want to turn the TV off. It's a shame, okay,
Speaker 1: when who Reddick was was Lebraun against just about anybody
Speaker 1: they match up. But can you win defensively with guys
Speaker 1: like Dugan Robinson and JJ Reddick? Like, I don't know
Speaker 1: how the Sixers are gonna do that? But Heat went
Speaker 1: to the finals. Wow. In twenty twenty. Oh god, they
Speaker 1: go there, you go. Yeah, you did it, you did it.
Speaker 1: Congratulations in the East, Yeah, of course, yeah, of course.
Speaker 1: Who do they have to play? Uh? Christ and Pennsylvania. Hi, Chris,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Again? I'm responding to you
Speaker 1: about the poll question. Yeah, I'm a little perturbed that
Speaker 1: bumbling Chargers are never ever mentioned and full of seems
Speaker 1: they always have some talent um. Yeah, but but I
Speaker 1: think they're they're a little too good for this poll question. Like,
Speaker 1: they're not terrible. They've got a lot of talent. They
Speaker 1: they actually should be really good, but they always there's
Speaker 1: always disappointment and uh, there's always injuries. So I'm talking
Speaker 1: about the Chargers that they're probably a little too good
Speaker 1: to be on the poll question. I don't know if
Speaker 1: if I put them on there, would they win the
Speaker 1: poll question of they're going to win a Super Bowl
Speaker 1: before these other franchises. Yeah, Paul, if you said most
Speaker 1: frustrating NFL franchise for their fans, I think Chargers are
Speaker 1: way underrated. They've had a truckload of talent in the
Speaker 1: past twenty years. Yeah, maybe longer than twenty years and
Speaker 1: leaving San Diego going relocating to Law Angeles. Adding into
Speaker 1: the frustration there Hurt and Oregon joining us. Hey Kurt,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Hey Dan? I want to
Speaker 1: remind you you touched on it passingly, but we're not
Speaker 1: exactly dealing with the greatest thinker of our time in Kyrie.
Speaker 1: And I also I want to let you know that
Speaker 1: you should have landed Donovan back On. He's been making
Speaker 1: some headlines the last couple of days coaching his soccer team.
Speaker 1: And I want to remind you also that it's now October,
Speaker 1: so there's no way that the Dolphins and Fitzpatrick are
Speaker 1: going to beat the Seahawks. I thought you weren't a
Speaker 1: fan of hot takes, but yeah, that's that's the hottest
Speaker 1: one I've heard yet. Okay, we'll see how hot it
Speaker 1: is on Sunday in Miami. Just a thought. Yeah that's it,
Speaker 1: just a thought. I don't Is that a hot take?
Speaker 1: Miami over Seattle? Yeah? Yeah, that's pretty warm. What's the
Speaker 1: point spread there? Six and a half. Okay, so the
Speaker 1: Dolphins are giving six and a half is what you're saying.
Speaker 1: Where As before before you said it, now watch that
Speaker 1: people get They get so sensitive. I got it. There's
Speaker 1: nothing personal here. I love russ I just said I
Speaker 1: have a premanent I didn't hear from any Arizona fans.
Speaker 1: It picked the Lions. Yeah, I didn't base it off
Speaker 1: anything other than they You win games you're not supposed
Speaker 1: to win. Sometimes you're not expected to. Adam Sandler will
Speaker 1: lighten the mood. Coming up Dan Patrick Show
