WEBVTT - 10/01/21 DPS Hour 2 Kevin Millar 0:00:00.800 --> 0:00:03.640 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:07.800 Sports Radio. Welcome to the program. You're just joining us. 0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:10.680 Paully paying up on a bet that was made five 0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:15.880 years ago with Michael Phelps. Oh, Paully was so determined 0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:19.240 to convince Michael Phelps to come back and swim again. 0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:22.759 PAULI even claims they pushed back the Olympics to let 0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:26.480 Michael Phelps have more time to reconsider swimming in the Olympics. 0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:29.200 Michael Phelps said, no, I'm not. And Paul he said 0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:32.520 he would wax his chest and put on a speedo 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:35.920 and he has done exactly that today. Yes, Paul and 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:39.120 I actually got stuff sent from Michael Phelps. The cap 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:42.640 and the trunks. These are official Michaelhelps stuff. Yep. And 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:46.560 we didn't we couldn't find somebody to wax Paully's chest, 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:52.200 so we used an electrical game. Poor Dylan, our graphics guy, 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:56.560 he had to put electrical tape on Paully's chest. I 0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:58.480 only have about thirty chest hair, so it was a 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:02.960 quick press. Yeah. But you look good. You got your 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:06.039 swim cap on, you got your goggles, thankfully, you have 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.640 a sweatshirt on. I look like a former swimmer. You 0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:10.920 know what I mean. Yeah, let it go like years 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:14.640 and years decades ago, that guy was a swimmer. Yeah yeah, 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:18.000 Pauli's the after I'm wearing the goggles. You could see 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.120 almost nothing out of these, Like I can't imagine being 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:22.200 in the water. There's no peripheral vision. I mean, I 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.480 guess you turn your head, of course, and everything's kind 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:30.119 of this. Uh, hazy green, hazy Billy Bill Walton would say, 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:39.680 hazy green, smooky j You can catch tons of exciting 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.920 Premier League matches all weekend long.

I came, 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.280 I told you what my scenario was that I'm rooting for, 0:01:56.000 --> 0:02:00.120 But I don't have any rooting fandom here. For there 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.480 are these teams on Sunday Night with Belichick and Brady 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:05.880 would I would be rooting for Belichick to win the game, 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.880 just because it kind of keeps the storyline going. If 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:12.399 Tom comes in and wins, we expect him to win, 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:14.880 and then that's it. He waves goodbye to the crowd 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:18.240 and then the story is done until the next book 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.600 is written by the way. The author of the newest 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:26.080 book on the Patriots, Brady and Belichick, Seth Wickersham, will 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.200 join us coming up. Final hour of the show, try 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.720 to make sense of Major League Baseball the playoffs scenarios. 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:34.200 Kevin Malaugh for the Major League Baseball Network will join 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:36.840 us coming up as well.

The Cincinnati Bengals are three 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:47.560 and one, and they came from fourteen points down to 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:53.360 edge the Jacksonville Jaguars. Here is urban Meyer after his 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:59.480 fourth straight loss. Frustrating, frustrating, because devastated, heartbreaking. Usually I'm 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:01.560 not wrong up stuff like that that. I just see 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:03.880 a good team in there. I see good guys, good hearts. 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:05.840 I see guys at work, and I told him I'm 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:07.519 not wrong. I'm not wrong about that stuff. And this 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:11.040 team's gonna win some games. I love that he cares, 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.640 but it's almost like you have to program yourself to 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:18.680 not care that much. It can't eat away at you. 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.400 You know that week to week can't do it. I mean, 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.760 I mean you almost have to have that we're learning. 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:29.320 I'm learning. Let's let's just gather information so then next 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.280 year we're going to be ready to go free agency 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:35.680 the draft. Yeah, Seaton to be devastated by a loss 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:39.920 in week four. I new here is Trevor Lawrence the 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:43.240 Jags quarterback. Obviously, when you can control the game like 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.600 we did in the first half, that's really the key 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:47.640 really going in it should have been twenty one zero 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:49.840 second half. I don't think we did a great job 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.320 on offense of holding onto the ball and eating some 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.840 clock and just moving it. We played better on offense 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:56.880 as far as just cleaned up a bunch of things. 0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:00.600 It's getting better every week. Obviously. That's that's heartbreak, that loss. 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.280 We're getting better. Yeah, these are guys that don't lose. 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:08.640 In fact, they never lose at Ohio State, at Florida, 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:12.920 even at Utah Urban Meyer, Trevor Lawrence High School college 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.520 doesn't lose. All of a sudden, You start to lose, 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:18.800 and you're like, what's this feeling? And you don't want 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:20.960 to get used to it and you don't want to 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:24.080 accept it. But I think you also have to process 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:29.320 it and say, are we getting better? And you know 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:32.719 you're you're trying to increase, you know, the pace that 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.520 you're running. It's a marathon. You want to make sure 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.520 that you continue to run. You're not stuck in neutral here. 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.599 And there were moments last nime. You know, that play 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.600 at the end of the first half, fourth and one, 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.000 fourth and goal and they went for it. I loved it. 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:51.200 You know, they didn't make it. You know, does Zach 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.919 come back and haunt them? Yes, but you're you're not 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:59.800 a good team, and I think showing confidence in your offense. 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:01.960 I mean, that's what I took away from it. Now, 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:04.920 granted you Trevor Lawrence got stopped, but if you're up 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:07.840 twenty one to nothing, it's to me a whole lot 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:12.200 different than being up fourteen to nothing. And they didn't 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.160 get it. And it felt like, you know, the Bengals 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.520 were you know, they scored a touchdown by not giving 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:21.440 up a touchdown there. Cincinnati did what they needed to do. 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:25.760 It wasn't pretty, came back down fourteen. Joe Burrow had 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:30.080 some nice plays there, and Cincinnati is three and one. Yes, 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:36.039 mclovin three and one. With asterix, you can apply the 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:39.920 asterisk now. They you know, it is interesting. They beat 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:42.840 they beating the Steelers, is that a good win? And 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:46.240 is this a good win? And Week one I can't 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:50.160 remember who they beat, but it still is a rebuilding team, right, 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:53.919 But it's better than a lass like That's what you 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.760 have to factor in where you go. Yeah, they barely 0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:58.960 beat the Jacks. Yeah, but Vegas doesn't look at like that. 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.640 They're gonna look at that as a next time they 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:03.520 face a good team like whoa, they could barely beat 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:07.159 the Jags at home. They just want to be playoff eligible, 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:10.480 you know after eight games. They don't want to be eliminated. 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.200 I mean, if they're five and three after eight games, 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:17.440 I'm sure Cincinnati fans would love that. Do you think 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.840 that they might build confidence and then roll that into 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.680 like a ten and seven? I have no idea. You know, 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:25.400 it depends on the rest of the division. Is Baltimore, 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.600 you know, going to be a depleted team. Can you 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:31.320 beat Cleveland one time? Can you beat Baltimore one time? 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:33.480 You beat the Steelers? Can you beat the Steelers again? 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:36.400 I'd have to look at the rest of their schedule 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:40.160 to handicap it. But you know, there's got it. You 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:44.560 got a quarterback. Every coach, every team is looking for 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:48.560 their quarterback. Cincinnati has their quarterback. I mean, Joe Burrow 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:54.240 is a legit quarterback. He's smart and not afraid, and 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:57.080 I think he knows what he can and can't do. 0:06:57.160 --> 0:07:00.000 And Troy Aikman was raving about him in the pockets, 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.760 sliding in the pocket. I don't want him running. He 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:07.040 had a devastating knee injury. And what I saw last night, 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:09.920 I think you got There's a lot of promise there 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:14.120 and you got some wide receivers. I mean that's all 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:17.000 you want is are we building? Are we moving forward? 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:21.880 And Cincinnati, these are games you gotta win. Yeah, Paul, 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.360 you talked about being playoff eligible can be enough. The 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:26.240 two years the New York Giants won the Super Bowl 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:28.520 that put Eli Manning in the Hall of Fame, they 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:31.160 were ten and six and nine and seven. They made 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.680 the playoffs by one game. In both those seasons. They 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:35.880 had one more regular season loss in either those seasons. 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.160 They don't qualify for the playoffs. Eli Manning does not 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.760 make the whole eight seven seven three D P Show 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:43.280 Email Andrews DP of Dan Patrick dot com Twitter handle 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:45.880 at DP show, which pull question We're gonna go with 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.280 this sound hour one was would you rather watch the 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.440 entire NFL slate minus the Pats and Bucks game or 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:53.920 just a Pats and Bucks game? It was actually pretty close. 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:58.160 It was sixty two said the entire NFL slate. Okay, 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.280 we're throwing her out a couple for hour two. All right, Uh, 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:04.120 this from Paul. If you could sign one of these 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:06.280 players a long term right now, who would it be? 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:11.800 Joe Burrow or Trevor Lawrence. Well, we had sort of 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.320 an offshoot of this question yesterday of who do you want, 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:18.080 you know as your quarterback Joe Burrow Trevor Lawrence? And 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:20.840 I said, you gotta let Trevor Lawrence play the same 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:24.800 number of games is Joe Burrow and give him what 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:29.000 did Joe played nine last year? He's played four this year? Uh, 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.840 you know, so Trevor's played four. I'd like to see 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:35.080 halfway through the season where Trevor Lawrence is now. His 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:38.000 team might not be very good, but is he making 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:44.480 is he improving? Are they able to protect him? Now? 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:47.600 That that's really the key? Yees mclem. It feels like 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:51.240 right now Joe Burrow has better play pieces around him too. 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.199 Jar Chase looks great. Yeah, Joe Mixon played great last night, 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:56.719 and you would take Joe Burrow right now. But I 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.360 don't want to be, you know, shortsighted and go what 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.840 I've seen, which Trevor Lawrence, You know, I haven't seen 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.920 enough that I'm really impressed. I'm not impressed by Zach Wilson. 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:09.320 Am I ready to move on? No, Trey Lance. I've 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.600 seen just a little bit Justin Fields, a little bit 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:15.280 Mac Jones, just a little bit. I'm not ready to 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:19.120 give you a here's my stamp of approval or lack thereof. 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:22.080 I'd need a larger sample size. Yeah, mclub, what have 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:24.719 you expanded it and made it? Any young quarterback? Is 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:29.280 Josh Allen or Justin take out Mahomes maybe? But who's 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:31.200 like the young guy like that? Everyone's like, oh, this 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:33.360 is a short thing. Is it Justin Herbert? Josh Allen? 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:39.480 Maybe Burrow. It feels it feels like Herbert has the 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:43.720 well that guy is great in the pocket. Josh Allen 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:48.160 is just a he's a thing like he just that's 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:52.200 their offense, and it feels like he's closer to an 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:55.240 MVP than Justin Herbert is. But it feels like Herbert 0:09:56.679 --> 0:10:00.280 Herbert's getting a lot of you know, great fan fair 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:02.280 with the analysts, like they're looking at what he's doing 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.160 and those who play the position or a source of 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:08.360 mind who's a scout said, he's not playing the way 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:12.040 he did it Oregon. He's a different quarterback in there. 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:14.640 And you could see when you have confidence, you go 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:18.520 into Kansas City and you beat Patrick Mahomes. I mean 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:22.760 that has to embolden you, Josh Allen, with what he's done, 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:26.520 how he's done it. I mean, confidence is so important 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:28.920 at that position because you can have it and man, 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.480 you can lose it. Yeah, McLean. How about you throw 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:33.840 in Kyler Murray? What if Kyler Murray wins this week 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:36.280 with the Cardinals at the Rams, is he all of 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:39.760 a sudden that he should be but this is all 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:43.319 week to week. What if he doesn't look good or 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:47.480 what if you know, Justin Herbert doesn't look good. What 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:52.079 if Ben Roethlisberger throws four touchdowns? Is he still washed? 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:53.920 Is he still you know they're going to replace him? 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.079 Like that's why you can't go boy, they got it. Man, 0:10:56.120 --> 0:11:00.120 he doesn't look good at all. Okay, he doesn't, but 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:04.400 it's three games. You're not suggesting to pace yourself into criticism. Yeah, 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:08.160 I am as crazy as that may sound. Yes, I know, 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:10.920 I'm a buzz kill. I could never be on first 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:15.880 take or whatever. Skip Bayliss's show is undisputed because I 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:19.440 might go, I don't have a take today. You've got 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:23.679 to have a take today. I don't. Yes, MCO. Did 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:29.000 you see who Panther's coach batt Rule compared Dak Prescott too? Uh, 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:34.440 let's see, Yes, I did, Peyton Manning. Yeah, that's that's 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:38.240 a nice little comparison for Dak Prescott. That's a stretch. 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:41.480 That's just a stretch. He's like the unbelievable this year though, 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:45.680 I know, but he's what's his QBR? It's probably really high. 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:47.960 I don't think so. Oh it's not. I don't know why. 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.160 Why don't you check the QBR? Does a Dak complete 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:52.679 like eighty percent of his passes? That's like he's incredibly 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:56.520 accurate in the NFL. But it's what is Dak Prescott's QBR? 0:11:56.760 --> 0:12:00.720 Oh man, you're right, he's twenty first in the league 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:03.280 in quarterback RATINGA who do you think is number one 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:05.640 in the league? Whatever you think of quarterback rating? Whatever? 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.800 We talked about it in the past two minutes. Uh, 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:13.640 Kyler Murray, Matt Stafford, number two is Kirk Cousins, number three, 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:19.920 Teddy two gloves, Teddy Bridgewater. Yeah, I'm not a QBR guy, 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:23.079 but you know, Dak has you know, sort of been 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:26.760 average with QBR. I got the bottom three in quarterback rating, 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:35.720 Zach Wilson, Matt Ryan, Ben Rothis yikes, Carson Wentz twenty seven. 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.720 What is QBR, by the way, nobody knows. I don't know. 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:43.160 QR is espn STAD, It's not even a real number. 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:46.440 I had the traditional quarterback ratings and Russell Wilson's number one, 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:51.280 Matt Stafford number two, Tyrod Taylor is three. This has 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:54.920 to be flawed because they still don't factor in winning 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:57.840 a game. No, that's that's my point. I don't care 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:01.000 what your rating is. Did you in the game? That 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:03.959 should be the most important stat in all of this. Yeah, seton. 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.760 This stat exists only so quarterbacks can be like, not 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:10.840 my fault, not my fault, I played well, Look at 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:14.160 my QBR. QBR is off the charts as QBR has 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.160 never won in the league, but they have one won enough. Yeah, 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:19.640 I'm still trying to figure out war and Vorp and 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.839 some of these other ones. Yeah, one of these days 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.760 I'm gonna get caught up on my analytics. I like 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:27.560 to use those terms with no knowledge of what they 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.400 actually mean. And you do a good job. You do. 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.400 What about his vorp? I go, I don't know what 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.040 a vorp is and you deliver it with such a 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:38.760 way that's like like, what are you stupid? Yeah? Yeah, 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.880 but what about his vorp? I don't even have time 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:44.480 for this. You know what his war is? Uh? No? 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:47.320 First of all, is yak is garbage? How can he 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:52.680 be a great receiver? Yeah? Which is yak? Yes, Zach Wilson. 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.040 The Jets is on pace to be sacked eighty seven 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:57.079 times this year. That would be a record, Yes, that 0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:59.640 would be a record. A couple of phone calls here, 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:05.160 let's see. How about Bob and Seattle? Hi Bob, Good morning, DP, 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:09.640 Good morning Budd six feighty Happy to meet Friday. Yeah, 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:15.360 great game, that's not very fun. Um for once, I'm 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:19.440 very grateful for the radio to avoid the visual shenetigans today. 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:23.960 Um went away in on the Tampa Bay Patriot game. 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:29.760 The Malcolm Butler interception cuts far too deep. Brother, gotta 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.480 go with Tommy and the Bucks have a great day. 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:38.200 Thank you, Bob. Have a great weekend. Yeah, Malcolm Butler ouch. 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:45.120 Greatest play in Super Bowl history? Yeah, I'm a club 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:46.840 just I know. I forgot to tell you. Guess what 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:50.240 the highest rated super Bowl of all time is? Tampa 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:55.360 Bay Seattle? Uh not the Tom Brady ver Seattle, the 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:58.040 one where you were all right? Yeah? Yeah got Seahawks 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:00.720 Patriots where you were there? That I artcle That's the 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.520 most watched super Bowl at all time, no kidding, according 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:07.440 to this article. Yeah, okay, uh, let me see Kevin 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:09.440 and North Carolina. Then we'll take a break. Hey Kevin, 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:13.120 how you doing great? Kevin? I want to talk about 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.600 the game. All right, So the game last night, that 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:17.760 was an exciting game fund that I watched all the 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:20.200 way through. But the part I want to talk about 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:23.240 was after the goal I'm staying and since he had 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.840 the ball down there, I thought that was some pretty 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.640 good coaching. As I was watching at the delay they took. 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:33.560 But the crowd booing SINTI Bengals fans football illiterate and 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.600 are the Bengals good. I don't know if the Bengals 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:39.080 are good, but I do think they have a there's 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.840 a there's positivity there, and you haven't been able to 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.800 say that very often with Cincinnati. I mean, that's all 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:48.080 you're looking for, is a fan. If I said to 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.280 the Jet Jets fan, hey, what do you think they're like? 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:54.240 There's no positivity. If I say to a Bears fan, hey, 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:58.000 what do you think at least were the Bengals? Okay, 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:02.080 National TV? You got win, you're three and one, you 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:06.400 got your franchise quarterback, you may have a franchise wide receiver. 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:09.760 That I mean, you're just looking for building blocks, something 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:13.520 that is positive. If you said to Detroit, you go, hey, 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:18.120 how you feeling? Hey, we almost beat the Ravens. No, 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:25.000 ask Miami how they're feeling. Ask the Texans how they're feeling. Yeah, 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:28.480 all right, let's take a break and we'll come back. 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:31.400 Kevin Maher from the Major League Baseball Network will join us. 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:36.240 When's the last time you had two teams in the 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:40.560 same division with at least one hundred wins? Because that's 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.520 what you have with the Dodgers and the Giants, and 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:45.160 it looks like the Dodgers are going to be in 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:48.120 a one game wild card showdown with the Cardinals. Take 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:50.880 a break back after this. Thanks for listening to The 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:53.440 Dan Patrick Show podcast.

Today, 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:35.399 we'll get more phone calls coming up. In the divisional era, 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:40.000 since nineteen sixty nine, it's happened five times where two 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:43.359 teams in the same division won at least one hundred games. 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:46.080 You got the Giants and the Dodgers. This year the 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:50.800 Giants have one hundred and five. I remember listening and 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:54.320 might have been Mad Dog Radio Chris Russo and they 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:56.560 were talking about over unders to start the season. He's 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:59.159 a big Giants fan, and I don't know if he 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:01.479 went over with Giants, but it felt like the Giants 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:05.240 they're over under was seventy five wins or something like that, 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:09.280 maybe even less the Dodgers. Dodgers have one oh three 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:10.960 and they're going to play in a wild card game. 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:14.199 It looks like twenty eighteen. The Red Sox one one 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:18.480 oh eight and the Yankees one hundred two thousand and one, 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:22.080 the Mariners one sixteen, the A's one one oh two, 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:26.600 ninety three, the Braves one one oh four, the Giants 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:29.880 one oh three and nineteen eighty, the Yankees one oh three, 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:33.760 the Orioles one hundred. Kevin Millar kind enough to join 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:37.000 us MLB Network analyst. He won the World Series two 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:39.080 thousand and four with the Red Sox, and you can 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:44.120 check him out with Intentional Talk that's on the MLB Network. 0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:47.560 Yankees raised tonight at seven, followed by the Mariners and 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:51.400 the Padres. Kevin, thanks for joining us. How you feeling, Hey, 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:54.040 I'm doing good? A little allergies? All's good, they'll hear 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:57.200 in Austin, Texas. All right, handicap this for me. Let's 0:18:57.200 --> 0:18:59.680 start with the National League West. Why are the Giants 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.840 the best team in the West and maybe the best 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:06.400 team in baseball. Yeah, I'm gonna tell you it's shocking 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:09.120 to start this season and to think, yeah, they're gonna 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:11.520 have one hundred and five wins here to start of October. 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:15.560 But they do all of the little things right to 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:19.440 win a baseball game. So whatever that is. It's kind 0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:22.000 of like the Rays. We've watched the race since Joe 0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:25.000 Mannon was there, winning ninety plus games. You could name 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:29.119 nine guys that team, if not five besides their starting 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:32.399 rotation and Evan Longoria. Back then was David Price and 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:34.919 James Shields. Now you look at the Giants, it's a 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:37.920 lot of the same type stuff. You could say Crawford's 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:40.480 having a career year, and yes he is probably the 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:43.400 most underrated shortstop out there, and it's been that way. 0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:48.119 But they just played baseball. So whatever this new generation is, 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:50.640 with all the matchups and all this stuff, Far Hot 0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:54.760 and give Kapler work well together. They believe in their theories, 0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:58.600 they believe in their stuff, and they're winning baseball games. Yeah, 0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:01.119 but here are the Dodgers with one oh three and 0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:03.600 they're probably going to have a showdown with the Cardinals 0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:08.159 next week. How now I know we say this, uh, 0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:10.000 you know, we see the results are like they're gonna 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:12.520 win a hundred and four games, one hundred and five games, 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:15.320 and there they could be out after one game. Why 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:19.560 don't we have re seating, you know, seating where you 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:23.080 know these we just go with victories like that. That way, 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:25.440 everybody keeps playing the entire year at the end of 0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:28.840 the season and then we just seed the teams. Whether 0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:30.960 you did nationally that way and the American League or 0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:32.880 did it you know, combined them. What do you think 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:36.640 about that? That possibility? You know what, that's a great 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:39.520 that's a great idea. And you know you because you 0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:41.639 do look at this. We asked the actually on the show, 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:45.560 are the Dodgers the best wild card team ever? And 0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:47.800 I said no, because two thousand and four Red Sox 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:50.719 are Dan and you knew that answer obviously. Okay, so 0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:53.600 let's stop with that question. But when you look at 0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:57.720 a powerhouse, can you look at Max Scherzer and Trade Turner. 0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:00.119 What the Dodgers have done since they've acquired them. I 0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:02.400 think they have like they're like forty three and thirteen 0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:04.439 or forty three and say whatever that whatever the number is, 0:21:04.800 --> 0:21:07.960 and they've picked up a game on the Giants That's 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:12.119 why what you say is it's a great idea because 0:21:12.119 --> 0:21:15.879 it makes every team play just like an Otani. Uh, 0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:17.560 you know he's not going to pitch the last game 0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:19.760 of the year in Sunday and now you're playing the Mirrors, 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:22.320 which that could be a big deal. Mirrors are probably 0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:25.520 in the best situation besides the Yankees to make this 0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:29.040 situation go in the wild card in the East. But 0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:31.440 it is. It is an idea, and I know they're 0:21:31.480 --> 0:21:33.800 looking to always make the game better. Maybe that does. 0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:38.359 It's just difficult to have an entire season where you 0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:44.400 dominate and you're gonna play one game. It's gonna come 0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:47.440 down to Scherzer versus Adam Wainwright, Like is there any 0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:51.080 other So I would think baseball searching for revenue would 0:21:51.119 --> 0:21:53.239 at least make it a best of three. I like 0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:57.000 the one game, win or go home, but it's not. 0:21:57.119 --> 0:21:59.760 I'm not the one that spent an entire season six 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:03.439 getting to this point. What makes the most? What is 0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:07.119 fair in a situation? And you may like the one game, well, 0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:09.679 I know that's how important it is to win a 0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:12.439 division because it buys you those other games, so that 0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:16.000 there's your gift that you're trying to go to to 0:22:16.080 --> 0:22:17.639 the end the seat. You have to win a division. 0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:19.359 If you don't, now you have a wild card. And 0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:22.919 the great thing about this, Danny wildcard teams win the 0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:25.640
