Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Hope you had a great weekend everybody. It's hour two
Speaker 2: on this Tuesday, we'll talk to some college football. Rick Neuheisel,
Speaker 2: college football analyst for CBS Sports and of course former
Speaker 2: college coach. And he was an assistant in the NFL,
Speaker 2: so always great to talk to. Rick makes this smarter.
Speaker 2: Every time we talked to him. NFL was kicking off
Speaker 2: this season. It'll be a big matchup Thursday, it's the
Speaker 2: Ravens Chiefs, the Ravens getting three. That'll be on NBC
Speaker 2: and Peacock. Then on Friday, live from Brazil, it's the
Speaker 2: Packers and the Eagles, only on Peacock. I had an
Speaker 2: interesting conversation yesterday and I didn't know what to say
Speaker 2: to this gentleman who I was talking to coming out
Speaker 2: of a store and he saw me and he said, hey,
Speaker 2: what do you think about BC next week? And I
Speaker 2: said I hadn't thought about it, and he goes, yeah,
Speaker 2: proud graduate. And I said, oh okay, and he goes,
Speaker 2: I'm going to go to the Florida State game. And
Speaker 2: I said, okay, now I'm thinking. I thought of Florida
Speaker 2: State and BC, we're going to play last night, but
Speaker 2: he says that he is. He'm not sure if he's
Speaker 2: going to wear a BC Hockey jersey and it so
Speaker 2: this was like twelve thirty yesterday afternoon, and then he goes, yeah,
Speaker 2: and I'm also thinking about maybe going Packers Eagles. I go, wait,
Speaker 2: you're going to Brazil and he goes, no, Philadelphia. I go, no,
Speaker 2: the game is in Brazil. Goes when did that change?
Speaker 2: And I go, it's been in the works for a
Speaker 2: long time. He thought Florida State was playing BC next week,
Speaker 2: So I like, I didn't want to tell him. I
Speaker 2: just thought, you know what, I'd rather maybe he is going,
Speaker 2: maybe somehow he's going to get on a plane and
Speaker 2: get down there to go watch the game. But he
Speaker 2: wanted to know what he should wear, and I said, well,
Speaker 2: I probably wouldn't wear anything that was flying the school colors.
Speaker 2: When I'm on the road. There's certain places you probably
Speaker 2: wouldn't do. I don't know how Tallahausee would have been.
Speaker 2: They probably would have been receptive to you until you
Speaker 2: start winning and then they won't like you. But BC
Speaker 2: pulls off the big surprise. Have you gone to a
Speaker 2: sporting event? Or gone to something where you go, I
Speaker 2: picked the wrong day. Wait a minute, isn't there supposed
Speaker 2: to be a game today?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: See, I've done at least two that I could think
Speaker 4: of off the top of my head. Where once I
Speaker 4: was going to me I got a call from a buddy.
Speaker 4: We were doing the show in New York City. He's like, hey, man,
Speaker 4: you want to go to the Yankee game. It's like, hell, yeah, dude,
Speaker 4: let's go. I hop a train to get up to
Speaker 4: Yankee Stadium and as I'm up there, I'm like, man,
Speaker 4: it's weird there's no Yankee fans on the train today.
Speaker 4: And that I look at the schedule and the Yankees
Speaker 4: are in Cleveland that night.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah right, it's gonna be tough to get on
Speaker 2: a train to get there.
Speaker 4: But oh crap, dude, I'm like this is I got
Speaker 4: right to the stop. I'm like, there's nobody here. What
Speaker 4: the heck is going on? And I looked at the schedule. Oh,
Speaker 4: because because they're on the road today. Yes's why I'm
Speaker 4: not going to the ad.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Paul, I had a pretty bad one in college.
Speaker 5: I went to Southern Illinois University, about two hours from
Speaker 5: Saint Louis. Every year in Saint Louis, they used to
Speaker 5: have this big basketball tournament called a seven Up Shootout,
Speaker 5: and they would invite the biggest recruits, like Chris Weber
Speaker 5: played there. And some of the names that we're going
Speaker 5: to be there that wee weekend were Sean Bradley, remember
Speaker 5: the seven to sixth guy, and Anthony Hardaway and players
Speaker 5: of that ilk. I said this to them Fortney President'm like,
Speaker 5: I'm driving, let's go. Let's go Saturday afternoon, We're all
Speaker 5: charge up. We drive up to the arena and I go, Hi,
Speaker 5: can we get to all four tickets? She goes for
Speaker 5: the ice Show. She goes the seven up Shootouts next Saturday,
Speaker 5: and all my buddies were just looking at me. We
Speaker 5: did not go to the ice Show, and they still
Speaker 5: remind me of it.
Speaker 2: Diner Mussini, tweeting alt Trent Williams has signed his contract
Speaker 2: extension with the forty nine ers, their star left tackle,
Speaker 2: future Hall of Famer. So everything is great in San
Speaker 2: Francisco except for Ricky pearsall their rookie who got shot.
Speaker 2: Like you know, you see certain headlines and I'm not surprised.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you're like, Okay, all right, when you're going for
Speaker 2: lunch middle of the day and you get shot in
Speaker 2: the chest and the bullet goes through you, and you're going,
Speaker 2: wait a minute, what is going on here? I guess
Speaker 2: somebody tried to rob him of his watch and then
Speaker 2: ended up shooting him. Paramedics saved his life, but the
Speaker 2: bullet goes through him. He's been released, and I guess
Speaker 2: he's out now. Not from the team, he's been released
Speaker 2: from a hospital. That would be really mean. He said, Oh,
Speaker 2: come on, you're gonna have to release you. You got
Speaker 2: a bullet hole. I guess he's out for at least
Speaker 2: a month. I don't know how that works with bullet holes.
Speaker 2: Of when we expect you to come back? Yes, Tod.
Speaker 6: And the fact that he didn't need any type of
Speaker 6: surgery is amazing to me. Once they said that it
Speaker 6: went through his chestin out his back and he was
Speaker 6: released with no surgical procedure.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yes, Morvion.
Speaker 8: What's the odds for him for when he come back
Speaker 8: of the year?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, without ever being here.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's a rookie. I don't know.
Speaker 4: We should check and see if his odds improved. Sounds
Speaker 4: like a technicality is going to keep him out. Gotta admit.
Speaker 2: See, they don't like this. They you know, Joe Flacco
Speaker 2: came off the couch. That's a comeback, you know, Jamarrow
Speaker 2: Hamblin came back from death. You know, they kind of
Speaker 2: like when you come back from adversity on the field.
Speaker 6: I think he's got a shot.
Speaker 7: Oh, I see, it's okay to make these jokes. He's released,
Speaker 7: so I well, he's okay.
Speaker 5: He's been released. Okay, they say he's like a full
Speaker 5: recovery in the station.
Speaker 7: Okay, so now we can pope. I don't know.
Speaker 4: Lightly, I think lightly, how does it work?
Speaker 9: Though?
Speaker 5: I like a teammate it's turf toe and is out
Speaker 5: six to eight weeks and you were shot in the
Speaker 5: chest and you're out like three to four. You just
Speaker 5: crush that guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you got to be careful with future
Speaker 2: injuries around a guy who gets shot in the chest.
Speaker 2: It's like, wait, what's what You're not going to be
Speaker 2: able to play for?
Speaker 7: How long?
Speaker 2: I got shot in the chest? As Paul Well, no,
Speaker 2: I'll let you have the line of who had a
Speaker 2: worst weekend?
Speaker 5: Oh Isa, who had a worst weekend? Ricky piersall Er
Speaker 5: Dango Sweeney since he was released from the hospital. Clearly joking.
Speaker 2: I think I think Dabo had a worst weekend, though, Well,
Speaker 2: Ricky's going to recover.
Speaker 7: No, No, Florida State had a worst weekend.
Speaker 5: Ricky's going to be okay in six to eight weeks.
Speaker 5: I don't know if they will or Ricky got shot.
Speaker 4: In the chest and walked himself to the ambulance.
Speaker 2: Waller, that's love then, pretty serious age seven seven three
Speaker 2: DP show email Addressdpadanpatrick dot com Twitter handled a TP show.
Speaker 2: We skewed negative first hour surprise shocker. Who had the
Speaker 2: worst weekend? Big winner, not even close? Big winner was
Speaker 2: Florida State? Seaton absolutely rolling. All right, yeah, they have
Speaker 2: currently eighty two percent of the vote. All right, yeah,
Speaker 2: how about we skew positive this alley, Yes, who had
Speaker 2: the best weekend?
Speaker 7: The best weekend?
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, USC Notre Dame Miami Boston College usc USC.
Speaker 2: I mean that's a big win for BC against Florida State.
Speaker 2: But USC played defense. They were I mean there was
Speaker 2: They're not a finesse team. The media was waiting, but
Speaker 2: you know, you get UCLA's defensive coordinator. They went out
Speaker 2: and they got some big, god, big bodies up there.
Speaker 2: Miller Moss played, well, you got a couple of playmakers there,
Speaker 2: so I I'd say USC. That was one of those
Speaker 2: where I mean LSU was only favored by I think
Speaker 2: three or four, but still perception victory, they're the big winner.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Pauling and USC, unlike Notre Dame, has a little
Speaker 5: bit of a tougher schedule. At USC's at Michigan September
Speaker 5: twenty first, Penn stayed at home October twelfth, at Washington,
Speaker 5: November at Usalea in November. But they finished a season
Speaker 5: hosting Notre Dame on National TV November thirty. That's a
Speaker 5: month could be a monster.
Speaker 2: University of Florida has been home to one of the
Speaker 2: college football's best programs, or at least they used to for
Speaker 2: years they were. Now they struggle to win seven games
Speaker 2: and Billy Napier's on the hot seat. Gators have not
Speaker 2: been patient with other coaches. Remember Will Muschamp, he lasted
Speaker 2: four years. He had an eleven and two season a
Speaker 2: trip to the Sugar Bowl. Jim McElwain, he lasted two
Speaker 2: seasons but finished inside the top twenty five in both
Speaker 2: those seasons. Dan Mullen similar fate. He won the Cotton
Speaker 2: Bowl and the Peach Bowl, and now you got Billy
Speaker 2: Napier where he hasn't posted a winning season, get blown
Speaker 2: out against Miami at home, and I don't know if
Speaker 2: there's a hotter seat right now than his. I mean,
Speaker 2: you could say that Dabo Sweeney's seat is hot, but
Speaker 2: I don't see it that way because I mean, you're
Speaker 2: gonna buy him out. I don't think so with Billy Napier.
Speaker 2: Here's the Florida head coach. After the loss to Miami.
Speaker 3: We got to go to work on the football part,
Speaker 3: you know, And I think we got to get more.
Speaker 3: We got to become a more consistent team, and we
Speaker 3: have to execute better. And if we can focus on
Speaker 3: those things and not necessarily what some guy in his
Speaker 3: basement saying, and you know, rural central Florida on social media,
Speaker 3: then we got a chance to get better.
Speaker 7: Wow.
Speaker 2: Wow calling out somebody who's in their underwear and their parents'
Speaker 2: home in the basement tweeting out things.
Speaker 4: Yes, solid cultural reference there. I think we're past that
Speaker 4: reference at minimum twenty years.
Speaker 2: I'm going to say, yeah, you know you're living your
Speaker 2: mom's dad's basement, be like, yeah, that we said that
Speaker 2: a long long time ago.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if you're aware of this industry that's
Speaker 4: making billions of dollars.
Speaker 2: But yeah, social media is here to stay. Coach, just
Speaker 2: letting you know. Georgia rolls Clemson Notre Dame against Texas,
Speaker 2: A and M. It was close until it wasn't USC
Speaker 2: over LSU, Florida State's now oh and two Ohio State, Oregon, Texas, Bama,
Speaker 2: Ole Miss get wins and we got football coming up
Speaker 2: on Thursday night. Rick new Heisa will join us coming
Speaker 2: up here in a little bit. Let me see what
Speaker 2: else do we have here? John in Minnesota, Hi John,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9: Hey Dan, thanks for saving my call. Ye actually called
Speaker 9: in to talk about the bill. Well just quick story.
Speaker 9: I live in Minnesota and I had a business where
Speaker 9: I was in Iowa all the time, and I had
Speaker 9: a customer give me four tickets to see the ice packers,
Speaker 9: and I just assumed you was at the Metrodale. Well sorry, yes,
Speaker 9: thanks stadium, and uh so I taxed my buddy gets
Speaker 9: to go fourth pactus tickets there life say you run
Speaker 9: a lambro Wait what Anyway, I ended up giving them
Speaker 9: to someone else. Uh, So my question though, is to
Speaker 9: last year, two of you guys picked.
Speaker 10: The bill of the bill of the Super Bowl.
Speaker 9: Is anyone doing that this year? Or have that done?
Speaker 7: No, that's done. I don't don't.
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody's not engaging the room. I don't
Speaker 2: think anybody's doing that. Does anybody have the Buffalo Bills
Speaker 2: playing in the Super Bowl?
Speaker 1: Todd?
Speaker 4: Okay, Seeton's looking at my short list here of teams,
Speaker 4: I like know.
Speaker 2: They're Marvin No, okay, Paulie, I really have to weigh
Speaker 2: my ass. We'll have our picks super Bowl picks on Thursday.
Speaker 2: What about the player? We got to come up with
Speaker 2: a name for this, The player who is going to
Speaker 2: regress marquee, player who will let me see the perception
Speaker 2: of him will drop I he'll regret Jalen hurts, he
Speaker 2: regrets last year.
Speaker 7: Who is going to be?
Speaker 2: Who is going to be that player who all of
Speaker 2: a sudden takes a little bit of a step back,
Speaker 2: maybe a big step back this year. I don't know
Speaker 2: if they have categories for this, but there's certain players where,
Speaker 2: well every year you'll be like, man, what happened to him?
Speaker 2: You know? Justin Herbert or Trevor Lawrence whoever, and it's
Speaker 2: usually a quarterback.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: See, it feels like Josh Allen would be a guy
Speaker 4: to watch. Kay, He's either going to be like an
Speaker 4: MVP or have a terrible year. Oh it feels like
Speaker 4: one of those two things. Okay, Marvin, I'm gonna go
Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 2: Oh oh, so already coming up with candidates here? Okay,
Speaker 2: I was looking for a name for this award, all forget.
Speaker 5: So it's not the like the end there's the MVP.
Speaker 5: It's not the least Valuable Player because it's not. No,
Speaker 5: it's the perception drop player, the PDP.
Speaker 4: Maybe the least most valuable player. How about instead of
Speaker 4: the comeback Player of the Year, this is the step
Speaker 4: back player. They took a step back. Yes, it's that comeback.
Speaker 4: It's step back.
Speaker 7: Close all right? I like that the Harden.
Speaker 8: Okay, the what like when somebody said the Academy Award
Speaker 8: and it's called the Oscar. Yeah, oh, the step back
Speaker 8: is going to be the Harden?
Speaker 7: Okay, all the all the James Harden. Oh no, then
Speaker 7: you have to explain it.
Speaker 2: By the way, I watched uncut Gems yesterday. Adam Sandler
Speaker 2: is so great. I know he's a friend. It is
Speaker 2: mind boggling he didn't get nominated for that award. He's
Speaker 2: so good in that. He is the tension in that
Speaker 2: movie where he's got this big bet and the Celtics
Speaker 2: are playing the heat and he's got to win this
Speaker 2: and then all the I mean, he's got these bad
Speaker 2: guys who were locked up they want to kill him
Speaker 2: and he's got to win this bad he's you know,
Speaker 2: he's you got to pay off gambling debts.
Speaker 7: Oh my god, he's spectacular.
Speaker 2: Also, Bourne Identity watched the second half of that yesterday.
Speaker 4: How many times a month do you watch that movie?
Speaker 7: As many times as possible?
Speaker 5: Is it comforting? Is it like just a nice comfortable blanket.
Speaker 2: I just you know what, I pick up a little
Speaker 2: thing every time I watch it.
Speaker 4: I feel like this summer so far, that's got to
Speaker 4: be the fifth time you've come in and be like,
Speaker 4: watch Boorne Identity this weekend.
Speaker 7: Bourne Ultimatum.
Speaker 2: Well now, and now my family finally watched it, so
Speaker 2: now they're like, you know, I get it, we get it.
Speaker 2: We didn't think Mad Damon was going to be an
Speaker 2: action star, so it's great.
Speaker 4: It's great.
Speaker 2: Can't go wrong with that Taken was on again. I
Speaker 2: did not watch it because I thought that's sad. That
Speaker 2: would people be like, dude, you don't have a life.
Speaker 2: But uh yeah, watched the uncut Gems again and I
Speaker 2: was like God. And I even text Adam Sandler yesterday
Speaker 2: after the movie. I said, what, how did you not
Speaker 2: get nom dominated?
Speaker 5: And do you phrase it differently?
Speaker 2: I was, you know what, it was one of those
Speaker 2: I'm saying it to myself, and uh, he's Sandler, to
Speaker 2: his credit, just goes Danny and he spells it d
Speaker 2: A n n n n n n N while Danny
Speaker 2: and then that's it. So he doesn't even get involved
Speaker 2: in it. But he had to be, I don't know, crushed.
Speaker 2: But if he didn't get nominated for that, he never
Speaker 2: get nominated. I mean grown ups too. Uh, hellou didn't
Speaker 2: get a sniff of that either. They started shooting on
Speaker 2: the ninth in Jersey with a happy Gilmore too. Uh
Speaker 2: Philip in Dallas, Hi Philip, what's on your mind tonight?
Speaker 10: Hey?
Speaker 7: Good morning.
Speaker 10: I had, first of all, sixty two hundred and five pounds.
Speaker 10: I'd like to use that to post up guys to
Speaker 10: shoot up. Fifty eight years old anyway, best of the weekend.
Speaker 10: I got to overdose on college football Saturday as much
Speaker 10: as I could Sunday and Monday without any any looks
Speaker 10: from my wife, who I love very much. But he's
Speaker 10: been in Montana for five weeks, and so it was.
Speaker 10: It was. It was pretty awesome weekend. So no worse.
Speaker 10: There's just no worse.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, congratulations, Philip, your wife's in Montana for
Speaker 2: five weeks and you get to watch football. Nobody there
Speaker 2: to nag you, I guess, is what you're saying, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 7: Five weeks.
Speaker 5: Is that a vacation or setting up a leaving.
Speaker 2: And it sounds like there's a situation here you might
Speaker 2: be relocating.
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, five weeks.
Speaker 2: It's a long time, Philip, Like two weeks, that's that's.
Speaker 7: Kind of a little bit of a comfort.
Speaker 2: Okay, two weeks it sounded like, you know, and then
Speaker 2: he has to say, I love my wife very much.
Speaker 2: Feels like he had to say that, even though he
Speaker 2: was probably happy, you know, gone for five weeks.
Speaker 7: He said the worst.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great point. Yeah, the worst would have
Speaker 2: been on and I wish my lovely wife Sally could
Speaker 2: have been here to share this Football Weekend with me.

Speaker 2: baseball since nineteen hundred.

Speaker 12: Stannada Day.
Speaker 7: This is the stant of the.
Speaker 2: Day stat of the Day, brought to you by Panini America.
Speaker 2: The official trading cards for the Dan Patrick Show was
Speaker 2: three years ago that he.
Speaker 7: Won fourteen games. Yeah for Seattle. What is that like? Though?
Speaker 2: You take the mound and you know you'd have little
Speaker 2: chance of winning. They got blown out thirteen to three.
Speaker 2: They've lost eleven in a row. What a historical slide here.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll give you our best and worst of
Speaker 2: the weekend coming up, and more of your phone calls
Speaker 2: as well. You have the game on Friday night in Brazil.
Speaker 2: It's the Eagles in the Packers. Darius Slay is an
Speaker 2: Eagle cornerback. He's not too happy about going to Brazil.
Speaker 7: Week one.
Speaker 13: Not am looking forward to it. I can't wait, but man,
Speaker 13: I do not want to go to Brazil. And you
Speaker 13: want to know why. I'm going to tell you why.
Speaker 13: They already told us not to lead a hotel. They
Speaker 13: told us we can't do too much going on because
Speaker 13: it's the rate is crazy.
Speaker 14: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 13: I'm like, NFL, why don't y'all want to send us
Speaker 13: somewhere with the crowwright this high and like we got
Speaker 13: the country so you know, the first thing people think
Speaker 13: is like some terbor and possibly happen it.
Speaker 7: I'm not gonna be nowhere to be found.
Speaker 13: Really, that would be in a hotel, chilling out of
Speaker 13: my business, playing my gay at the Loan nine and
Speaker 13: a half hour flight.
Speaker 7: Well.
Speaker 2: Having been in Rio for the Olympics, we were told
Speaker 2: when we left our hotel, just make sure you're not
Speaker 2: carrying valuables or you hide your wallet, don't wear a
Speaker 2: watch out and if you needed security to walk to
Speaker 2: go to dinner, we were told that.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 2: I don't know if the players how much they're going
Speaker 2: to see at Brazil. I don't think they're going to
Speaker 2: be outside seeing unless they build it into Hey, the
Speaker 2: Eagles and Packers are in Brazil, let's get them on
Speaker 2: the beach or certain places there that you know historical landmarks.
Speaker 2: But the big Play Shape podcast there with Darius Sledt
Speaker 2: not big on going to Brazil. Well, I understand that
Speaker 2: for a player opening a season, you know you got
Speaker 2: to go how many hours away you're going to play
Speaker 2: a football game. Creatures that habit, and I understand that
Speaker 2: you disrupt that. Even a coach preparing for something like
Speaker 2: this and then coming back from a game like that
Speaker 2: and then going into what is your normal routine, not
Speaker 2: easy to do Packers. But once again, this is the
Speaker 2: global expansion of the NFL. They want to have these countries.
Speaker 2: We want Brazil to adopt the Packers or the Eagles
Speaker 2: and then play another game there and then you get
Speaker 2: a big turnout, then you move merchandise, go back to
Speaker 2: Kansas City. With Germany, this is what they want. They
Speaker 2: want to have these countries say that's our NFL team.
Speaker 2: You're not going to have teams in Germany or Brazil
Speaker 2: playing in the NFL certainly, not anytime soon. But you
Speaker 2: can take advantage of the fan base there and you're
Speaker 2: able to make money, which is what they love to do.
Speaker 2: Rick Neuheisel, CBS Sports college football analyst and of course
Speaker 2: college football coach as well. He joins us on the program.
Speaker 2: All right, Rick, we've been talking about this. We've been
Speaker 2: talking about Clemson, We've been talking about Florida State, We've
Speaker 2: been talking about Florida. Which one is an easier fix
Speaker 2: out of those three.
Speaker 7: Clemson.
Speaker 14: Clemson had a defense that look the part for much
Speaker 14: of the first half. They've got to find a way
Speaker 14: to get those wide receivers involved in the offense. Club
Speaker 14: Nick cannot average less than five yards in attempt. That's
Speaker 14: just not a sustainable way to do it. But they
Speaker 14: have the wherewithal to get this done. Florida State has
Speaker 14: no running game and no ability to stop the run.
Speaker 14: And Florida just flat looked anemic. Now that maybe just
Speaker 14: because cam Ward's that good, he looked that good. But
Speaker 14: you've got a fan base that's already looking in the
Speaker 14: yellow pages.
Speaker 2: Let me go back to Clemson because four years ago,
Speaker 2: they're up there with Alabama, they're there with Georgia. You know,
Speaker 2: they're they're among the elite. And then Dabo said, I'm
Speaker 2: not doing transfer portal doing nil.
Speaker 7: I mean, it's irresponsible.
Speaker 2: Like at some point he has to he has to
Speaker 2: do this right, he has to modernize.
Speaker 14: It is a kind of get off my lawn type
Speaker 14: of statement. It's a it's an old school you know,
Speaker 14: I'm not changing for the sake of changing. I get
Speaker 14: where he's coming from. I think we all wish that
Speaker 14: we could keep our guys for the length of their
Speaker 14: time in college. But it is irresponsible to not look
Speaker 14: out there and see what other teams are doing, especially
Speaker 14: when you watch George's two touchdown catches be by kids
Speaker 14: that transferred in one from Vanderbilt and one from Miami.
Speaker 2: But if I'm going to look at this, let's say
Speaker 2: an NFL coach and GM said, we're not going to
Speaker 2: have free agents, We're just going to take the players
Speaker 2: we drafted. Well, that's the analogy I would use with Clemson. Hey,
Speaker 2: we recruited. We don't want anybody else's players. These are
Speaker 2: the players that we want that make you the best
Speaker 2: in the business.
Speaker 14: Dan, you can see it. You see the forest through
Speaker 14: the trees. That is exactly right. And while you have
Speaker 14: this idea in your head, we're doing more than just
Speaker 14: playing football games. And we want kids to get their
Speaker 14: degrees and graduate and feel like they've accomplished something over
Speaker 14: the course of their time here at Clemson. And that's
Speaker 14: a certainly a ideal that we all can understand. It's
Speaker 14: just not real business when you're trying to win football games.
Speaker 2: At the same time, there are big wins and then
Speaker 2: there are big perception wins. And I think the biggest
Speaker 2: perception win this weekend was Sunday night by USC huge,
Speaker 2: huge win for Lincoln Riley and maybe because of the
Speaker 2: way they want it, Miller Moss showing that he's capable
Speaker 2: in a late game drive to do what he did,
Speaker 2: and a defense that held up, a defense that held
Speaker 2: up over the course of sixty minutes and tackled as
Speaker 2: if they'd practice tackling, And to me, that was a
Speaker 2: huge step forward for the Trojans and by the way,
Speaker 2: a huge step for the Big Ten as well.
Speaker 7: But then I look at l issue with Brian Kelly.
Speaker 2: What is it about openers that certain coaches are great,
Speaker 2: certain coaches aren't And he is a marquee coach who's
Speaker 2: now zero to five his last five season openers.
Speaker 14: Well, as you look at who they schedule in their
Speaker 14: season openers, it's a referendum. And you look across the
Speaker 14: board everybody else doing on openers. You're sitting there going
Speaker 14: why do they keep doing this well. Obviously they keep
Speaker 14: putting money in their pocket, but his comments after the
Speaker 14: game were more about an attitude like we've accomplished something
Speaker 14: while the game was still in hand, and that, to
Speaker 14: me is something about a culture that he's got to
Speaker 14: get fixed.
Speaker 2: Talking to Rick new Heisl, CBS sports college football analyst
Speaker 2: and of course a former college head coach, Notre Dame
Speaker 2: had one of those sneaky wins because they were underdogs
Speaker 2: at Texas A and M. And if you look the schedule,
Speaker 2: I know they can only finish as high as five
Speaker 2: in the twelve teen playoffs, but it's a manageable schedule
Speaker 2: for Notre Dame.
Speaker 14: I will make a ridiculous referendum right here, Rick A.
Speaker 14: Rick's ridiculous referendum here that they're in the playoffs.
Speaker 7: They're in.
Speaker 14: That game was so huge for them because they're going
Speaker 14: to be judged amongst a bunch of SEC teams at
Speaker 14: season's end. Had they lost on the road and finished
Speaker 14: ten and two, it would have been much harder. This
Speaker 14: victory allows ten and two to get in. I think
Speaker 14: that as you look at the schedule, ten and two's
Speaker 14: an easy number to get to, especially with the way
Speaker 14: that defense played, I think, and Marcus Freeman's becoming a
Speaker 14: rock star. That little focus on him at the end
Speaker 14: of the game, the handsome guy coming off. I told
Speaker 14: you so that that's going to carry some weight down
Speaker 14: the stretch. And I also believe that the College Football
Speaker 14: Playoff Committee will have them seated somewhere between five and eight.
Speaker 14: So the Irish get a home game. Definitely, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 14: without question. That is that's made for television. Gold Listen,
Speaker 14: it's happening. The Irish are in.
Speaker 7: That'd be the Golden Dome, is what you're saying. It's gold.
Speaker 14: That's what I meant to say. Leave it, leave it
Speaker 14: to details. You know, if I came for me.
Speaker 2: If I if I gave you Georgia or the field.
Speaker 14: Wow, george is tough to beat. They're the other team
Speaker 14: that's already in the playoffs and and their schedule still daunting.
Speaker 14: They go to Tuscaloosa. I that one in Tuscaloosa. Haylin
Speaker 14: de boor everybody I know in Tuscaloosa says how good
Speaker 14: they look. Everybody and we always assume Nick Saban was
Speaker 14: the goat and just you can't get any better. And
Speaker 14: yet this guy, if you look at this record. What
Speaker 14: is he one hundred and something in twelve? I mean,
Speaker 14: he's He's a phenom, whether you're counting South Dakota, Fresno
Speaker 14: or Washington twenty five and three. They out of the
Speaker 14: gates the other day. It but George's in the playoffs.
Speaker 14: But that Alabama Georgia game I can't wait for.
Speaker 2: But if I look at you know, Alabama, Ohio State
Speaker 2: in Texas, I don't know if I take anything away
Speaker 2: from week one. I mean they played weak opponents certain Texas.
Speaker 14: Texas looked darn goood defensively without those two defensive tackles.
Speaker 14: They gave up less than two hundred yards to a
Speaker 14: Colorado State offense where the quarterback and the wide receiver
Speaker 14: were both offered six hundred grand to leave in the
Speaker 14: nil market. That saying something when you can just absolutely
Speaker 14: shut them down as you did without those two big
Speaker 14: hosses up front.
Speaker 2: Well, we're going to get a better idea of Texas
Speaker 2: this weekend. With Yes, they played Michigan, what do you
Speaker 2: what do you that's the marquee matchup? What do you
Speaker 2: expect out of that?
Speaker 14: I think a close game for a while, and then
Speaker 14: Sark and company take it over. I think they're that
Speaker 14: put together. Davis Warren fifteen twenty five in his first game, okay,
Speaker 14: and certainly got his feet wet.
Speaker 7: A home crowd will be helpful.
Speaker 14: I think they hang around, but I don't know that
Speaker 14: there's enough octane in their offense to hang with Texas.
Speaker 2: I know that you were probably the first to say
Speaker 2: it that you thought Jim Harball was leaving Michigan. This
Speaker 2: a long time ago when we talked about it. Now
Speaker 2: he's with the Chargers. Does anything happen to Michigan you
Speaker 2: think down the road with any of this.
Speaker 14: With Connor Stallions, I think it was interesting that they
Speaker 14: changed plans for having Jim Harbaugh come and be the
Speaker 14: honorary captain in week one. You know, for him to
Speaker 14: say that it was he wanted to focus on the Chargers,
Speaker 14: I think he could have focused on the charter long ago.
Speaker 14: I think that was let's not just poke these guys
Speaker 14: in the eye and make sure own more take the
Speaker 14: hit here for what is obviously a little bit of
Speaker 14: a cover up. Listen when Connor Stallions goes on Netflix
Speaker 14: and says, I do not recall, that's when we know
Speaker 14: we've got a little g Gordon Letty going on.
Speaker 2: Great to talk to you is always we'll catch up again, thanks,
Speaker 2: but always a blast. DP enjoy the season. Rick new Heisee,
Speaker 2: our good buddy, contributed a few songs over the years
Speaker 2: and always appreciate his insights in college football. We'll get
Speaker 2: to more phone calls coming up. We'll give you our
Speaker 2: best and worst of the weekend Paralympic Games. They kick
Speaker 2: off with an unforgettable celebration from the heart of Paris.
Speaker 2: The twenty twenty four Paralympic Games today on NBC in Peacock,
Speaker 2: I saw where there's a basketball player, a paralympian from
Speaker 2: I think India, and he is eight feet one inches.
Speaker 2: But he's the second tallest person in the world. If
Speaker 2: I'm going to be eight feet one, I want to
Speaker 2: be the tallest person in the world. I don't want
Speaker 2: to be the second tallest to go through life at
Speaker 2: eight feet one. Oh yeah, you're the second tallest. It's like,
Speaker 2: you know, when you're the oldest person in the world,
Speaker 2: all right, when you die, you get a little recognition.
Speaker 2: The second oldest person in the world doesn't get any recognition.
Speaker 2: But to be eight feet one, I think the tallest
Speaker 2: person might be eight feet three.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Paulie, so.
Speaker 5: He's second place. Yeah, he's eight foot one. He's thirty
Speaker 5: six years old. His first name is Mortesa. He in
Speaker 5: the Olympic village. The beds have rails on the ends,
Speaker 5: so he can't sleep on the beds even though they're
Speaker 5: seven feet long. He's sleeping on the floor. He takes
Speaker 5: three mattresses and makes a little bed for himself.
Speaker 7: Wow, yes, time.
Speaker 6: How many times have people coming on you must be
Speaker 6: the tallest person.
Speaker 13: In the world.
Speaker 2: No, I'm the second tallest. Don't even get bragging rights there.
Speaker 7: That'd be tough.
Speaker 4: Everywhere you go, you duck trying to get into a car.
Speaker 4: It's a hard life. It is harder than you.
Speaker 2: Well, you see these NBA players and I just when
Speaker 2: their careers are over, of just trying to have a
Speaker 2: normal life. But there is no such thing as a
Speaker 2: normal life when you're over seven feet tall. No, it's
Speaker 2: just everything is an adjustment. Yes, I was once.
Speaker 4: Around minut Bowl for a little while, and everything he
Speaker 4: did was like laborious, Like everything he did was like
Speaker 4: extra steps for him to be able to do it.
Speaker 4: It seemed very difficult, and you don't realize how tall.
Speaker 2: That is you can watch on TV, but you know,
Speaker 2: you have players who might be six to eight and
Speaker 2: then they're seven six, so you go, oh, not that
Speaker 2: much taller. But when you're I was around Mark Eaton,
Speaker 2: who played for Utah. Him and Yao Ming are the
Speaker 2: two biggest men I've ever and Shaq in there too,
Speaker 2: But Yo Ming could rest his arm on top of
Speaker 2: Shaq's head. I mean, Yo Ming's the biggest guy on
Speaker 2: the planet. And Mark Eaton was huge. I mean it's
Speaker 2: you can be seven five but be seven to five
Speaker 2: but also be three hundred pounds or more. It's just
Speaker 2: and Yo Ming. You don't realize how big he was
Speaker 2: or is until you see him compared to Shaq and
Speaker 2: you're like, damn, Shaq doesn't look garganchaan.
Speaker 7: He looks like normal ish. Where's Yeo Ming? That's a
Speaker 7: big dude, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this this Iranian guy eight foot one. He's been
Speaker 5: in the Paralympics before two different times.
Speaker 2: How many points did he score in his first did
Speaker 2: he score like forty points yesterday?
Speaker 7: Checking?
Speaker 5: But he was a volleyball player first he broke Well
Speaker 5: that's it, yeah, my bad volleyball. Yes, he's a volleyball player. Yes,
Speaker 5: he actually broke his pelvis when he was in grade
Speaker 5: school and it caused his right leg to not grow
Speaker 5: as fast as the left. They said he could even
Speaker 5: be taller if he didn't have that injury, taller than anyone.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, does he list himself at seven foot
Speaker 5: eleven so people downplay it.
Speaker 7: I know that Bill Walton did that.
Speaker 2: Bill Walton was probably seven too, and I remember saying, Bill,
Speaker 2: you're not six eleven, and he'd say it's all everything
Speaker 2: was all relative, it's all relative, and I go, uh no,
Speaker 2: it's not.
Speaker 7: You're not You're not six eleven.
Speaker 2: He never wanted to be because seven footers were viewed
Speaker 2: as freaks. And I remember Bill saying that he would
Speaker 2: always say six to eleven. He was on six eleven.
Speaker 2: He was seven too.
Speaker 4: Yes, Martin Kevin Garnet is easily seven foot one.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I saw him sit next standing next to somebody who
Speaker 8: was quote nquote listed at six ten. He was kind
Speaker 8: of towering over them, like six eleven.
Speaker 2: When we come back, our best and worst of the
Speaker 2: weekend MVP pick and the step back player, the player
Speaker 2: who will regress the most or back after.
Speaker 1: This be sure to catch the live edition of The
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am
Speaker 1: Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: A little bit of NFL news this morning. Diana Russini
Speaker 2: tweeting out Trent Williams signed a contract extension with the
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers. All Right, best and worst of the weekend,
Speaker 2: Toddy had an extra day. I think this is going
Speaker 2: to be extra special. Your best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 6: Best of the weekend.
Speaker 5: Boise stayed.
Speaker 6: Running back Ashton gent You rushed for a school record
Speaker 6: two hundred and sixty seven yards sixty d sally keeping
Speaker 6: the Broncos from a season opening upset fifty six to
Speaker 6: forty five at Georgia Southern. That was a close game,
Speaker 6: but Boise State pulled it out with the six touchdowns.
Speaker 6: Worst of the weekend. LSU not able to close things
Speaker 6: out in Vegas Sunday Night twenty seven twenty lost to USC,
Speaker 6: Brian Kelly slamming his fist and frustration in the postgame.
Speaker 6: Coach Kelly now oh in three in season openers since
Speaker 6: heading to Baton Rouge Seaton.
Speaker 4: My best of the weekend. Boston College and USC both
Speaker 4: looking good for a start that's a huge game for
Speaker 4: Boston College, probably the you know, every five years or so,
Speaker 4: it seems like they're good for like a like ah, yes, boss,
Speaker 4: hey look at Posse College. All right, well done BC.
Speaker 4: Yeah good for a weekend, Yeah, yeah, for sure. My
Speaker 4: worst of the weekend dj oolong ooh Youngalala already getting
Speaker 4: the we want brock chan second game into the season,
Speaker 4: they're already calling for the backup quarterback. That is just
Speaker 4: that's not nice. It's cruel. It's cruel.
Speaker 8: Marvin Best of the weekend. I got Heisman hopeful Jackson
Speaker 8: Dart ole Miss quarterback, four hundred and eighteen yards, five touchdowns,
Speaker 8: is Ole Miss beat Ferman seventy six zero and he
Speaker 8: ran for a Touchdown's right Septizeman early worst of the
Speaker 8: weekend are Kansas City Royals. They lost six straight games
Speaker 8: and they're now their third in the Al Central.
Speaker 2: Yep DP show Jenks we started talking about him. Oh
Speaker 2: look at this team, worse to first and then they
Speaker 2: lose six in a row. Paulie beston wors I.
Speaker 5: Had Jackson dart I'll go audible here, let's go with Okay,
Speaker 5: I'll go with Northwestern football. What they only got by Miami, Ohio,
Speaker 5: but they are redoing their football stadium, so they took
Speaker 5: the lacrosse field, which is right basically on Lake Michigan.
Speaker 5: Pumped it up to have like twelve or thirteen thousand seats.
Speaker 5: The view is unbelievable. I mean, the football solid the
Speaker 5: view is fantastic. At Northwest it's called Northwestern Medicine Field
Speaker 5: at Martin Stadium. That's a handful dan worst of the weekend.
Speaker 5: It was mentioned before Virginia Tech. There are certain teams
Speaker 5: you can't lose to, and Vandy is one of them.
Speaker 2: I like that one of our callers said, yeah, you
Speaker 2: can't lose to an educational school. I would hope that
Speaker 2: all schools are educational. But when you're just known for
Speaker 2: being educational like Vanderbilt, I mean, what is your favorite
Speaker 2: Vanderbilt sports moment?
Speaker 7: I'd have to go back to. Was it Barry goheen.
Speaker 5: Goheen from three?
Speaker 9: Yes?
Speaker 5: A Jay Cutler I think had gotten to a bowl game.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Are we missing out on any great Vanderbilt moments in
Speaker 2: sports history?
Speaker 7: Yes, Martin Paul took mine.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 8: I think Jay Culer went sec Offensive Player of the
Speaker 8: Year on year or the week. Maybe not now I
Speaker 8: thank you one Player of the Year.
Speaker 2: I just know that Chris Simms joined us and said
Speaker 2: Jake Cutler was the best quarterback in that draft, and man,
Speaker 2: it might have been the most talented quarterback in that draft,
Speaker 2: but I remember him saying, this guy from Bandy is
Speaker 2: the best quarterback.
Speaker 7: Yes, Todd, did he look.
Speaker 6: As enthusiastic as Vanderbilt as he did on the sideline
Speaker 6: with Denver in Chicago?
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know if we ever really focused on Jake
Speaker 2: Cutler's demeanor when he was in college. I don't I
Speaker 2: don't remember. Maybe we should have, all, right, MVP pick
Speaker 2: or the step back player, the player who is going
Speaker 2: to regress. How about we do the step back player
Speaker 2: so it can squeeze that in Tod, I'm going to
Speaker 2: start with you, the player who takes a step back.
Speaker 6: I know he only played six games due to injury,
Speaker 6: but I think things aren't going to grow great for
Speaker 6: Deshaun Watson in the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 7: Okay, I think there's gonna be some regressing there. I
Speaker 7: think there's already been some regression there. Significant not regrets,
Speaker 7: but regression. Seaton. I hate to say it.
Speaker 4: But because you're gonna be a real rain on the parader,
Speaker 4: and I don't. I wish this young man all the best,
Speaker 4: and I hope that I'm wrong. I would rather be
Speaker 4: wrong than right here.
Speaker 7: But it could be c J.
Speaker 4: Stroud.
Speaker 7: You know that I was gonna go see J.
Speaker 4: Stroud only because great minds think alike.
Speaker 7: That's why.
Speaker 4: Okay, but it could be c J. Stroud second time through. Okay,
Speaker 4: Mike Marvin, you.
Speaker 8: Know what, I'm gonna go Lamar Jackson because he's the MVP,
Speaker 8: and I think he's gonna win the MVP again, so
Speaker 8: he could regress.
Speaker 5: Paulie I hate doing as well to a Takabayoloa. I
Speaker 5: think their offense was fantastic last year, and we'll have
Speaker 5: a light cooling.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they might be better, That's what I was gonna say.
Speaker 2: I mean they might be better. I mean Mike McDaniel,
Speaker 2: he puts two in these situations. May mean he got
Speaker 2: him this contract extension. Yes, Why aren't the Dolphins considered
Speaker 2: a better team than they are? Because of their inability
Speaker 2: to win games on the road in December and their
Speaker 2: defense is in formidable.
Speaker 4: It feels like they should be.
Speaker 2: A top five easy well, offensively but it's a team game, yes, Ton.
Speaker 6: So there could be some bad karma because to you know,
Speaker 6: threw his former coach under the bus with the and
Speaker 6: now he's talking about how his current coach McDaniel is
Speaker 6: just so much more supportive than Flores, So things are
Speaker 6: gonna start going ugly for him. That would be pretty bad.
Speaker 7: Well, I'm not saying that, well, Paulie, and I'm just saying.
Speaker 6: That on top of what Polis saying. Imagine you have
Speaker 6: to saying what he said about his former coach and
Speaker 6: he's got all this good energy from the current coach
Speaker 6: that he would fall backwards.
Speaker 2: Paul you want to change yours if Todd's on your side, yuh.
Speaker 2: C J Stroud for me only because I don't think
Speaker 2: the team is going to be as good as what
Speaker 2: everybody expects. They were a great story last year and
Speaker 2: he was unbelievable. It's just they got a tough schedule
Speaker 2: and they're not surprising anybody this year.
