Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: It's our one on this Wednesday, Dan and the dan Ets,
Speaker 2: Dan Patrick show fully loaded seatons back, Fritzie of course,
Speaker 2: the Minister of Humor, Marvin and Paulie in the front row,
Speaker 2: the Brgs in yours truly, Charles Barkley coming up next hour,
Speaker 2: and we'll talk to Hall of Famer Steve Young. The
Speaker 2: Bucks beat the Thunder. It's the cop and it's over
Speaker 2: the Bucks over the Thunder. They dominate them ninety seven
Speaker 2: eighty one. It doesn't happen very often that the Thunder
Speaker 2: don't score one hundred points. But give credit to the Bucks.
Speaker 2: They played well. They've kind of righted the ship here
Speaker 2: with Dame and Giannis, and maybe they'll be one of
Speaker 2: the teams to beat come playoff time. The big news, though,
Speaker 2: the Falcons benched Kirk Cousins. Michael Pennix Junior third will
Speaker 2: get his first start a home game against the Giants.
Speaker 2: I understand it. I said that they should do it.
Speaker 2: I thought they should have done it two weeks ago.
Speaker 2: But they let Kirk Cousins almost play his out of
Speaker 2: this position, and they make the decision to bring in
Speaker 2: Michael Pennix and I like it.
Speaker 3: Maybe he's not ready. We're gonna find out.
Speaker 4: Though.
Speaker 2: It helps with a softer landing at home against the Giants,
Speaker 2: which I like that strategy as well. But Kirk Cousins
Speaker 2: played his way out of a starting role and maybe
Speaker 2: playing his way out of Atlanta. Bigger picture, you got
Speaker 2: three games to go and you're a game behind Tampa,
Speaker 2: and you decide to bench the guy that you brought
Speaker 2: in because you needed somebody who was better than Desmond Ritter,
Speaker 2: who could help this team a lot of talent make
Speaker 2: the playoffs, and they were going as scripted. Then all
Speaker 2: of a sudden the last five weeks and he's getting
Speaker 2: benched after a win. Granted they scored fifteen points against
Speaker 2: the Raiders, they held on to win fifteen to nine,
Speaker 2: but Michael Pennix, and by the way, Michael Pennix is
Speaker 2: it Michael Vick he's a pocket passer. Just to let
Speaker 2: people know who maybe don't remember seeing him when he
Speaker 2: was at Washington or Indiana. He is a pocket passer.
Speaker 2: So it's not like, oh, he gives you a change
Speaker 2: of pays that Kirk didn't have. Well, he's got to
Speaker 2: be more mobile than Kirk. I might be Kirk's thirty six,
Speaker 2: thirty seven years of age. And now you start to
Speaker 2: extrapolate and go all right, bigger picture, here are they
Speaker 2: going to move on from Kirk Cousins. Well, let's see
Speaker 2: how Michael Pennix plays, because you can look at best case,
Speaker 2: worst case scenario. You bench Kirk Cousins, and if Michael
Speaker 2: Pennix doesn't play well, now you have a problem. But
Speaker 2: if Michael Pennix plays well, you still have a problem
Speaker 2: with that salary cap. You know that dead cap money.
Speaker 2: I'm probably gonna get hit with forty million dollars. This
Speaker 2: isn't quite as bad as Russell Wilson, but you know,
Speaker 2: the Falcons will probably try to get out from underneath
Speaker 2: this contract. What are the numbers, PAULI.
Speaker 5: Kirk Cousins was paid already sixty two million for this season.
Speaker 5: If they cut him at any point in the offseason,
Speaker 5: they owe him twenty seven million for the following season.
Speaker 5: But then it's over, so that it would be over
Speaker 5: after this upcoming year.
Speaker 2: And you'd have Pennix on that rookie deal since he's
Speaker 2: a first first round pick, so you've got him for
Speaker 2: five years. Here depending on if you bring somebody else in,
Speaker 2: can you keep Kirk Cousins on the roster. So there's
Speaker 2: a lot of things that play here in the final
Speaker 2: three games, and I think the tough game they have
Speaker 2: of the three they got the Commanders. Tampa doesn't have
Speaker 2: a tough stretch with their three games, and they're playing
Speaker 2: really well. Buccaneers are a dangerous team right now with
Speaker 2: the way they've played. Atlanta not so much. But I
Speaker 2: agree I would have brought in Michael Pennix. Now I'm
Speaker 2: surprised with three games to go and you're bringing in
Speaker 2: a rookie. That surprised me a little bit that they
Speaker 2: would make that decision, but I agree with it. I
Speaker 2: would put him in. Let's see what you get. Sometimes
Speaker 2: just having somebody different in there and you know, in
Speaker 2: the huddle, throwing the ball, whatever it might be, it's just, hey,
Speaker 2: let's just get let's just try, because you know what
Speaker 2: you're getting with Kirk here. One touchdown pass and nine
Speaker 2: interceptions in the last five games. That's bengeable. Now, if
Speaker 2: you had somebody like Andy Dalton, I think they would
Speaker 2: have made this decision. Maybe a week ago, maybe two
Speaker 2: weeks ago. You got Michael Pennings junior and you're going
Speaker 2: to put him now. He played playoff football at Washington
Speaker 2: so and he's been with two different schools and he's
Speaker 2: you know, played for national championship. So you know, there's
Speaker 2: a lot of great things with him, and I do
Speaker 2: like him. I didn't like that they made the decision
Speaker 2: to draft him. If you were going to bring in Kirk,
Speaker 2: Cousins said that at the time, I think they stole him,
Speaker 2: if you want to use that in quotations. I think
Speaker 2: the Raiders were going to take him and they decided,
Speaker 2: you know what, Kirk's going to be our quarterback for
Speaker 2: two years and then we get our quarterback after that. Well,
Speaker 2: they've sped up the process here because Kirk has not
Speaker 2: played well.

Speaker 2: Question, play of the day, stat of the day, all
Speaker 2: of that forthcoming. But the big news with the Falcons
Speaker 2: as they go into this game with the Giants, the
Speaker 2: Bucks win the Cup.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 2: The Commissioner, Adam Silver did meet with a small group
Speaker 2: of reporters talking about the sport moving forward. There was
Speaker 2: talk about the three point line. He seems to be
Speaker 2: content where the game is and he said, yes, ratings
Speaker 2: are down for cable TV or down streaming numbers. I
Speaker 2: don't follow that, but I'm sure he's all over that
Speaker 2: and probably likes the impressions they're getting on social media.
Speaker 2: But it feels like this is like late night TV,
Speaker 2: because it used to be you stayed up and you
Speaker 2: watch Johnny Carson or Letterman Lenno. Now you just get
Speaker 2: a clip that you'll see the next morning. And that
Speaker 2: feels like that's what the NBA is becoming. It's just
Speaker 2: a viral clip that you'll see the next day. You
Speaker 2: might not stay up and watch the entire game or
Speaker 2: half of the game. I don't know how much you
Speaker 2: watched the Cup last night, and maybe the NBA is
Speaker 2: fine with that. Hey it's just look at this highlight here,
Speaker 2: a couple of highlights here. But Adam Silver seemed content,
Speaker 2: I guess that. And I don't know if he'd use
Speaker 2: that word, but it sounded like that with his comments
Speaker 2: of where the game is and where the game is going.
Speaker 2: And they're still trying to figure out this All Star
Speaker 2: Game and now like Kevin Durant says, let's go back
Speaker 2: to East versus West, Well, you guys did that and
Speaker 2: you screwed it up. So there is no fix for
Speaker 2: the All Star Game. Like they're trying to change a
Speaker 2: format here, and you're going to have the young players
Speaker 2: playing and the Friday night and if you win and
Speaker 2: then you're involved, and then now there's four teams involved
Speaker 2: in the All Star Game.
Speaker 7: Yes, there's like one fundamental flaw in everything with the
Speaker 7: All Star Game and fixing it, and that you're trying
Speaker 7: to make something matter that doesn't matter. There's no reason
Speaker 7: for the All Star Game to matter. It's just supposed
Speaker 7: to be fun. It's just supposed to be like, hey,
Speaker 7: look at this fun exhibition that they're doing. There's no
Speaker 7: reason for it to be that important.
Speaker 2: Well, they're trying to just so it doesn't become I
Speaker 2: don't even know how to describe it where it's just
Speaker 2: sort of making a mockery of the All Star Game
Speaker 2: that it's it's not even basketball. It's just sort of
Speaker 2: a pickup game that's televised.
Speaker 7: Basketball doesn't even really basketball now the All Star Game
Speaker 7: is even less basketball.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't know if we care. If it's fixable.
Speaker 2: Like slam dunk contest, I'm not interested. I'll watch the
Speaker 2: three point shooting contest. I've been saying for a long time.
Speaker 2: I would have former players with a current player. I'd
Speaker 2: have Del Curry with Steph Curry. I'd have Steve Kerr
Speaker 2: with Steph Curry. You know, if you wanted to do that,
Speaker 2: or Klay Thompson, not his dad, Michael Thompson, but you
Speaker 2: get Ray Allen shoots threes. That to me would be fun.
Speaker 2: If you want to incorporate the WNBA, that's fun as well,
Speaker 2: as long as the NBA players are fine with that,
Speaker 2: because they have more to lose if they lose the
Speaker 2: shooting contest. But you want to put Sabrina out there,
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark. It's ratings gold. But you know, the NBA
Speaker 2: has to look at are you developing your stars. The
Speaker 2: biggest names in the sport are still Lebron, Steph and Kad.
Speaker 2: That's a big issue because if I look at the NFL,
Speaker 2: well maybe that's not even fair with the NFL. Looking
Speaker 2: at baseball, you know your biggest names Otani, Aaron Judge.
Speaker 2: You're going to put one Soto in there, so he's younger.
Speaker 2: You got to have young stars. Anthony Edwards has all
Speaker 2: the makings of a young star, Wembin Yama has all
Speaker 2: the makings of being a big star. But they're not
Speaker 2: there yet. Steph, Katie, Lebron still there. And I think
Speaker 2: as you grow your league, you want another generation to
Speaker 2: grow with those superstars or potential superstars. That to me,
Speaker 2: that would be front burner's stuff of how do we
Speaker 2: get these You know, they have to be part of
Speaker 2: the everyday vernacular where you're asking about them, you're talking
Speaker 2: about them, and maybe it's not fair to compare them
Speaker 2: to Steph, Katie and Lebron. Those are three of the
Speaker 2: top ten fifteen players of all time and personalities and
Speaker 2: I think that's what you're trying to get. You want relevancy,
Speaker 2: and I think that's part of the NBA's problem with me.
Speaker 2: It's not really relevant. Sometimes they tried to create this
Speaker 2: the NBA Cup and okay, what hey, they're playing for
Speaker 2: extra money. That doesn't excite me. Hey they're really caring
Speaker 2: about the and that doesn't excite me. Then we wait
Speaker 2: till Christmas. But then the NFL just big footage on Christmas.
Speaker 2: You got bowl games coming up. These are actual bowl
Speaker 2: games that mean something. See, this is where you got it.
Speaker 2: There's only so much room, and you got to find
Speaker 2: your place. You got to find your space on the
Speaker 2: mantle where you go. Wait a minute, where are you
Speaker 2: going to put us?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: They're playing, you know, bowl games on Friday night. It's
Speaker 2: all the way through here into January, so it's pretty tough.
Speaker 2: And then you've got playoff football with the NBA. Then
Speaker 2: you got March Madness, So you're really trying to carve
Speaker 2: out your little piece of the pie here.
Speaker 7: Yes, how much of is of it is stars being
Speaker 7: developed or stars just happen? I mean, like the like,
Speaker 7: there wasn't a big game plan to let's create Michael Jordan.
Speaker 7: He sort of happened, right, Steph happened.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 7: I'm trying to think of who the league, how do
Speaker 7: they elevate people into being stars or are you just
Speaker 7: waiting for another start to drop in your lap?
Speaker 2: Well, Jalen Brunson, it feels like they're trying to make
Speaker 2: him more of a star with the Knicks. Anthony Edwards,
Speaker 2: it feels like should be John Morant, you know, kind
Speaker 2: of screwed up his timeline. Zion what's Zion Williamson?
Speaker 8: Like? What is he?
Speaker 3: Who is he?
Speaker 2: The fact that you can trade for a guy that
Speaker 2: we thought, oh my gosh, he's the next Charles Berkley,
Speaker 2: He's not so I That's that's the hard part of
Speaker 2: really like baseball has Paul's scheme. They've they've done a
Speaker 2: great job in being able to showcase him. Now granted
Speaker 2: he has to be great, be different. And I see
Speaker 2: what you're saying, Like Lebron and Katie and Steph are
Speaker 2: all unique, but who is that next guy? Like Joker
Speaker 2: is unique. I just don't think he's musty TV even Luca,
Speaker 2: like Luca, Luca and Jokich they're passing is what I
Speaker 2: love to watch. They can both score, but they can
Speaker 2: get fifty. And it's not like you go, damn, did
Speaker 2: you see you can get fifty and then you can
Speaker 2: get fifty?
Speaker 9: Yes, Marv, you don't think jok is musty TV. No, really, No,
Speaker 9: he does to me. He does for me, okay.
Speaker 2: For me, But I don't think like if I'm twenty
Speaker 2: two years of age, eighteen sixteen, I go, I'm watching
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards or John Morant or somebody who does something
Speaker 2: that you don't normally see. And Joker, as wonderful as
Speaker 2: he is, I just don't think you go, hey, I've
Speaker 2: got to tune in to watch him. I usually catch
Speaker 2: up with what he's doing because there'll be highlights. Then
Speaker 2: I'll go look at the box score and I'll go, oh, damn,
Speaker 2: he's the MVP.
Speaker 3: He's the best player in basketball.
Speaker 9: Yes, Ma, but I thought he'd be your cup of
Speaker 9: tea because he has a real Bill Walton type of
Speaker 9: game with no.
Speaker 10: No.
Speaker 2: I once again, I'm I'm take me out of the equation. Yes,
Speaker 2: because I'm hell. I watch the Wizards so well, I do,
Speaker 2: and the Hornets.
Speaker 8: You got an issue?
Speaker 3: I do? I do, yes, Pauline, But the Joker is.
Speaker 5: To be appreciated. He's like going to an art gallery.
Speaker 5: You appreciate what he does. It may not be pure entertainment,
Speaker 5: like the highlights don't play on Sports Center and play
Speaker 5: on social media, but he his game is to be appreciated.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you'll watch him and he'll make a highlight.
Speaker 2: And it's usually a pass, I mean.
Speaker 7: A rebound and a base full he court baseball pass
Speaker 7: to somebody who dunks it.
Speaker 8: Yes.
Speaker 2: Now, now baseball has gotten to the point where it's
Speaker 2: a strikeout, our home run. And so those are clips.
Speaker 2: You don't have to watch a game. You can get
Speaker 2: they'll download you and say, oh, they had fifteen strikeouts
Speaker 2: and this guy hit three home runs.
Speaker 3: Now that's baseball.
Speaker 2: By the way, baseball had a study I think they
Speaker 2: I don't know how long the study was, but they
Speaker 2: realized if you throw really hard, there's a better chance
Speaker 2: that you'll hurt your arm.
Speaker 3: I could have saved them some money just saying it was.
Speaker 2: Like a sixty page document that said if you throw
Speaker 2: harder that you have a better chance of hurting your arm.
Speaker 3: Yes, Paul.
Speaker 5: So if you drive faster, you're more likely to get
Speaker 5: in a car.
Speaker 2: Accident or get a ticket, you get it more likely
Speaker 2: to get a ticket. I went, oh my gosh, all right,
Speaker 2: we're just getting started. We're all over the place. College
Speaker 2: bull season is underway. Oh is it ever? You've got
Speaker 2: a couple of games to I the Boca Ratone Bull
Speaker 2: and the Art of Sport La Bull brought to you
Speaker 2: by Gronk.
Speaker 3: Yes, Tom, oh.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I heard that they're gonna do something very pop
Speaker 11: tart related where a big matza guy comes out and
Speaker 11: then the winning team gets to eat pieces of the matsa.
Speaker 8: Is that true with the Boca ratone Ball? Maybe an
Speaker 8: awful rumor?
Speaker 3: Are you profiling?
Speaker 8: I may be a little bit.
Speaker 11: You are, a lot of my fellow Jewish friends like
Speaker 11: to go to live in Boka to retire. So I
Speaker 11: thought maybe they'd have Jewish concessions. Maybe a little g
Speaker 11: filter fish potato lot is something something nice?
Speaker 8: Okay, little chucolate honakah gilt, the little chocolate money. We
Speaker 8: all love that. Everybody knows that.
Speaker 2: Okay, that a giant dradl and the.
Speaker 7: I got the thought planning the flag is like the
Speaker 7: spinning the drade on on the logo.
Speaker 3: You can't do that where else would you do that?
Speaker 8: But the Boca ratone ball. That's what you do. If
Speaker 8: you don't do it there, you're never gonna do it.
Speaker 3: Can you can you plant the Honkka candles?
Speaker 8: I think you can. You can put a little aura
Speaker 8: in the middle there.
Speaker 11: And some of the players want to where Yamaca is
Speaker 11: instead of helmets, which is very dangerous.
Speaker 8: That is not going to be good for brain protection.
Speaker 3: Thanks.
Speaker 8: I suggest you are at actual.
Speaker 7: Help bringing out the oil.
Speaker 6: This is getting up.

Speaker 2: desperately smart, but yeah, it's kind of both.
Speaker 3: Yes, I think it's smart.

Speaker 7: the veteran quarterback after a win because we're trying to
Speaker 7: make a push for the playoffs, so let's give the
Speaker 7: guy who hasn't played it the chance.
Speaker 3: It's either going to be great or disaster. It is, Yes,

Speaker 2: Yes, but you can't cancel it. You know, you gotta
Speaker 2: have it. It still brings people in.
Speaker 3: Which is great. That's fine. I just don't too.
Speaker 2: I can't even remember the last time I watched more
Speaker 2: than five minutes of it, because if you two, it
Speaker 2: doesn't matter which five minutes you're wanted. It's pretty much
Speaker 2: the same thing. Hey, there's a long pass and there's
Speaker 2: a dunk.
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 8: Was this the theme song last time you watched it?
Speaker 9: Akima Elija on Charles Barkley, Mark Price, This Sunday the
Speaker 9: NBA All Star Game on NBC.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Mark.
Speaker 2: Okay, now do we have another game here? Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, this is guess the guess Guess the guess.
Speaker 2: Seaton says he knows where kirk Cousins will be next year.
Speaker 3: Todd guess the guests.
Speaker 8: Kirk Cousins is going to be a Cleveland Brown next year.
Speaker 7: Sheepers, creepers. What better way to double down on one
Speaker 7: massive mistake by making a second or third massive mistake?
Speaker 3: Marvin guess the guests.
Speaker 8: Kirk Cousins will be in Indianapolis.
Speaker 2: Colt, Oh, that's a great guy, Paul kirk Cousin, since
Speaker 2: will beware Fox Sports.
Speaker 3: Studio studio host.
Speaker 2: Hey, Kurt Cousins will be a Carolina Panther.
Speaker 3: Your seatons Cash.
Speaker 7: Nobody got it, although there were a couple of really,
Speaker 7: really really good guesses. This team right now, I believe
Speaker 7: has the number one overall pick this year, and he'll
Speaker 7: be on the bench watching them this weekend against the Giant.
Speaker 7: I think he ends up as a New York Football
Speaker 7: Giant next year. And I don't think that they take
Speaker 7: a quarterback this year in the drift their bonus pick.
Speaker 7: Who are they taking number one overall?
Speaker 2: They don't need to take a quarterback. If you've got
Speaker 2: Tommy de Viteo, guys, Tommy Salami, you don't need a
Speaker 2: quarter back.
Speaker 3: Okay, yep, so they'll just take Travis Hunter number one overall,
Speaker 3: that's it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they take Travis Hunter and then they have Kirk
Speaker 7: Cousins for a year while they wait. Maybe do they
Speaker 7: like I don't have a rhyme for tank for arch Manning,
Speaker 7: But are they fanning for Manning? Are they? I don't
Speaker 7: know what it is, but that is the order of
Speaker 7: events that happened.
Speaker 5: Yes, Paul, I think I like Seaton's rationale. Here the
Speaker 5: Giants right now. Whether I pick one or two, you
Speaker 5: could start over with cam Ward, or you get Travis Hunter,
Speaker 5: Malik Neighbors and the best quarterback next year, and you
Speaker 5: may have to not pay Kirk Cousins because Atlanta will
Speaker 5: be paying him.
Speaker 3: Still, Okay, that works.
Speaker 5: That's interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but here's the problem that I have with it.
Speaker 2: There's no guarantee that you're going to have the worst
Speaker 2: team next year and that you'll get arch Manning. I
Speaker 2: feel pretty good that next year, but you got to
Speaker 2: be It's not hey, you got to get your get
Speaker 2: a quarterback, it's do you think that's the right quarterback
Speaker 2: for you? There have been drafts down through the years,
Speaker 2: over the decades that you go, well, let's get a
Speaker 2: quarterback here. Wait is it the right quarterback for your system?
Speaker 2: And some of these teams that go, you go, we
Speaker 2: got to get our quarter we got a quarterback.
Speaker 3: Silly.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 7: See, it's a little bit like what not to go,
Speaker 7: like completely off on a side tangent. But Caleb Williams
Speaker 7: dad got a lot of heat for saying that the
Speaker 7: draft process is flawed, that you have that the best
Speaker 7: players going to the worst teams, and that that maybe
Speaker 7: necessarily that doesn't always lead to the most success. That
Speaker 7: feels kind of like what you're saying a little bit yeah,
Speaker 7: like like you.
Speaker 2: The Giants could accidentally win a game and then all
Speaker 2: of a sudden they drop down to the second pick
Speaker 2: next year, and then they don't get arch Manning, Like
Speaker 2: I wouldn't. I wouldn't base my team's future on another
Speaker 2: season of being bad, because we've seen teams where you go, man,
Speaker 2: I didn't think they were going to be this good,
Speaker 2: or boy, I didn't think they were gonna be this bad.
Speaker 7: But when you're looking at the pieces say that the
Speaker 7: Giants need or don't need, it doesn't feel like they're
Speaker 7: only a piece or two away from being really good.
Speaker 8: Next year?
Speaker 2: Does it No? Well, okay, I got to find out
Speaker 2: who their quarterback. If you say Kirk Cousins is their quarterback, well,
Speaker 2: to me, that's an upgrade over Daniel Jones. Does that
Speaker 2: mean they win four games next year? Five games next year?
Speaker 2: I just as they see here might get.
Speaker 7: You in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: But if they were in the NFC, so they could
Speaker 2: a couple of phone calls in here. Let's see Jason
Speaker 2: in Atlanta? Hi, Jason, how's morale down there?
Speaker 8: Listen?
Speaker 3: We've never been halfier? DP five eleven.
Speaker 6: Michael Tennis junior third.
Speaker 8: Is on the way.
Speaker 6: It's a new day in Atlanta. I got a question
Speaker 6: for you. It wasn't gonna work day one. And people
Speaker 6: would tell me, Oh, he's a great gosh, he's got
Speaker 6: such morality, and I'm like, in Atlanta, we don't need
Speaker 6: another pastor. We need a pastor, and he clearly couldn't
Speaker 6: do that. Yesterday you were talking about college coaches giving
Speaker 6: money back. Is there any chance DP that we can
Speaker 6: get some money back from Kirk Cousins because we desperately
Speaker 6: need the money.
Speaker 2: You know, Kirk probably gives a lot of money to
Speaker 2: charity knowing him, but I don't know if he's going
Speaker 2: to be along the lines of Mike Gundhi at Oklahoma
Speaker 2: State or Mike Norvell at Florida State where they're going
Speaker 2: to give money back. Brian Kelly at LSU. It would
Speaker 2: be an interesting process there. Now, these players who ask
Speaker 2: for more money get more money than if they don't
Speaker 2: live up to their contract, they don't give any money back.
Speaker 2: But if a player asked for money, doesn't get the
Speaker 2: money and then outperforms his contract, then he asks for
Speaker 2: that money and then normally gets it. But interesting interesting
Speaker 2: times with college coaches giving money back or giving it
Speaker 2: to the collective. Now, is that a charitable donation? If
Speaker 2: a coach gives money back to the school, like, that'd
Speaker 2: be the first thing that I would say if I
Speaker 2: might gun to at Oklahoma State, It's like, I gotta
Speaker 2: give back a couple of million dollars. How can I
Speaker 2: give this back and get a write off? I spend
Speaker 2: a lot of money on my hair. I gotta believe
Speaker 2: that there has to be a charitable donation that you
Speaker 2: can give your money back. But yeah, they're giving you know,
Speaker 2: flor State, he's given back four million dollars, I think.
Speaker 8: But he keeps his job.
Speaker 5: Yes, it's like, here are your options, young man.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I would give back four million dollars if
Speaker 2: I kept my job, depending on how much money I made.
Speaker 2: You know, if he's making four million, then I might
Speaker 2: have a problem with it.
Speaker 5: Yes, Paul, maybe that could be a new thing in
Speaker 5: America in lieu of firing people. You say, and they
Speaker 5: do this people at our old network, we're off for this.
Speaker 5: You take a huge pay cut or we have to fire.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Kenny Maine went through that. They're like,
Speaker 2: we're gonna cut you sixty percent. Do you want your job?
Speaker 2: And then you decided that he didn't. All right, let
Speaker 2: me take a break and we'll get to more phone calls.
Speaker 8: Coming up.

Speaker 2: in from ESPN's Pete Thamil. The Ivy League has agreed
Speaker 2: to participate in the NCAA Division One FCS playoffs starting
Speaker 2: next season. The league had long ended its season at
Speaker 2: the end of the regular season. This marks a distinct
Speaker 2: shift for IVY League Football, which can now play for
Speaker 2: the FCS title and they get an automatic bid into
Speaker 2: the playoffs.
Speaker 10: Good.
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 2: Like watching IVY League football and get in there against Man.
Speaker 2: It feels like the FCS, it's basically Montana, North Dakota,
Speaker 2: and South Dakota. You want to see great football, You've
Speaker 2: got South Dakota, South Dakota State, you got North Dakota State,
Speaker 2: and you got Montana in there. I believe it's Montana,
Speaker 2: is it Montana or Montana State?
Speaker 5: Montana State?
Speaker 2: And Bozeman, Okay. So that's this weekend. That's their final four.
Speaker 2: But according to ESPN, the IVY League is getting back
Speaker 2: in the mix.
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 2: I hate when you know, you see these leagues and
Speaker 2: there's nothing really to play for. You might win a
Speaker 2: league championship, and in the IVY League that's really important
Speaker 2: that you want to see them be able to extend
Speaker 2: their season. You know, it comes down to you know,
Speaker 2: Harvard Yale is their big game for those those two schools.
Speaker 2: Now you get a chance maybe to play for a
Speaker 2: national championship.
Speaker 3: So it's good.
Speaker 2: Paulie says that he has a long term bet, and
Speaker 2: I said, well, we're only doing the show for three
Speaker 2: more years. Will this payoff one way or another in
Speaker 2: the next three years?
Speaker 3: Your long term bet?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think this one would be a year and
Speaker 5: two months from now. A year we were talking about
Speaker 5: Arch Manning as possible top pick of the twenty twenty
Speaker 5: sixth draft.
Speaker 7: Would that be correct?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Yeah, this year's twenty twenty five Okay.
Speaker 5: He will not be in that draft. He'll be in
Speaker 5: the twenty twenty seven draft. He's gonna play two years
Speaker 5: as a starter at Texas. I don't think he joined
Speaker 5: that place and is going to wait two years to
Speaker 5: play one. I bet he stays two full years as
Speaker 5: a starter and enters a twenty twenty seven draft. Who
Speaker 5: wants a piece.
Speaker 7: I'll jump in on that. Although I see what you're saying,
Speaker 7: and I think you're probably right, But just to stick
Speaker 7: with my earlier prediction, I'll jump in on that bet.
Speaker 8: Okay, all right?
Speaker 3: Fair enough? Balls to the ball?
Speaker 7: Yeah, man to the Mannings?
Speaker 3: Yeah, all of the balls.
Speaker 7: Hm hmm.
Speaker 3: Maybe Arche can pick the punishment for you guys.
Speaker 7: Remember when we had that. I think Ross Tucker brought
Speaker 7: in the that like football cannon thing.
Speaker 3: It fired.
Speaker 2: I still have it. It's all the way in the
Speaker 2: back in the garage.
Speaker 7: It doesn't quite roll off the tongue this way. But
Speaker 7: one of those to the balls that should be the.
Speaker 8: I'll do it. I'll do it with a cup.
Speaker 2: I'll I'll do it for fun, Yes, cannon balls, Okay,
Speaker 2: all right, fair enough, we'll dust that thing off.
Speaker 3: We'll bring it in.
Speaker 2: In fact, when we take a break top of the hour,
Speaker 2: get that thing and I don't throw anything away.
Speaker 3: Got everything I see.
Speaker 7: That's definitely a keeper. That thing I think is great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Michael Vick, it's official going to Norfolk State, and
Speaker 2: I get it in that area, Mike still a big
Speaker 2: name and having name recognition for a school small school,
Speaker 2: get a chance to maybe bring some players in that
Speaker 2: maybe you wouldn't be able to recruit. Okay, I wouldn't
Speaker 2: buy in the Sacramento State, Michael Vick. I didn't get
Speaker 2: the connection there, because if you want to go into
Speaker 2: the Pac twelve, I think you want to be buttoned up.
Speaker 8: I don't.
Speaker 2: And in fairness to Mike, I know he's turned his
Speaker 2: life around, but that felt like that was leaked for
Speaker 2: a benefit of Michael Vick or Sacramento State.
Speaker 3: Somebody gave it that information to Adam Schefter.
Speaker 2: Feels like, now, maybe there's a deep connection there, but
Speaker 2: Mike in his hometown or home area, home state, that
Speaker 2: to me makes more sense than him going to Sacramento State.
Speaker 2: You want to get in the Pac twelve. I don't
Speaker 2: know if that's necessarily the best route. Yes, Pauling, you
Speaker 2: want to get me to tune in. You know how
Speaker 2: they had that spring football game on college campuses. Let's
Speaker 2: say Norfolk State Spartans have a spring game. You know,
Speaker 2: Michael Vick's on the scout team. Oh, have him suit up. Yeah,
Speaker 2: It's it's like JJ Reddick still the best shooter on
Speaker 2: the Lakers. You know, Mike Vick would still be the
Speaker 2: best quarterback. Tom Brady is still the best quarterback with
Speaker 2: the Raiders organization.
Speaker 3: It's one of those where it's like, damn, all right,
Speaker 3: get a couple.
Speaker 2: Of phone calls in here, Tubsy in Chicago, Hey, Tubsy,
Speaker 2: Hey Dan, first.
Speaker 15: Time, long time five nine five. Hey, you guys were
Speaker 15: all talking yesterday about the three point shot, and it
Speaker 15: got me thinking. And I apologize if you've discussed this before,
Speaker 15: but I never have liked the fact that the three
Speaker 15: point line is a different distance depending upon where you're
Speaker 15: standing on the court. What are your thoughts on if
Speaker 15: you just made the three point line the same distance
Speaker 15: and had the arc actually end at the edge of
Speaker 15: the court, effectively eliminating the corner three, which would make
Speaker 15: it easier to defend one and probably two a lot
Speaker 15: less three point shots.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's been brought up before, but thank you for
Speaker 2: the phone call that maybe you just have it end.
Speaker 2: It doesn't go all the way into the corner. There
Speaker 2: have to be guys who their feet are too big
Speaker 2: to be able to fit in to that little spot
Speaker 2: in the corner. If you've ever been to an NBA
Speaker 2: arena and gone to the corner, there's not a lot
Speaker 2: of room over there. Shaq could not shoot a three,
Speaker 2: and you don't want Shaq shooting a three. But I
Speaker 2: don't know if I could get his feet in that
Speaker 2: area there.
Speaker 9: Yes, Marvin Hou's PJ Tucker going to have a career
Speaker 9: if he can doesn't have a corner three.
Speaker 8: What good is he? That's not nice?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Klay Thompson's a corner three guy too, he is, Yes,
Speaker 2: he is. Uh Sean in Florida, Hi, Sean, what do
Speaker 2: you have for for me today?
Speaker 10: Hey Dann, Hey boys. Wanted to say Merry Christmas to
Speaker 10: you guys first and foremost, and second, I'm feeling like
Speaker 10: James in Virginia over here with the way the bucks
Speaker 10: and the Gators have been playing that big win over
Speaker 10: UNC last night. I know that the Cup was on
Speaker 10: through might have not caught any college basketball, but that
Speaker 10: was a really good game by the Gators, and Baker's
Speaker 10: making you guys have a great day.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, thank you, Sean. Yeah, watch a little
Speaker 2: bit of North Carolina, Florida. But of course the Cup
Speaker 2: was on because it's the Top Cup and the Scooter's
Speaker 2: Coffee Bowl with Memphis in West Virginia, which actually was
Speaker 2: a pretty good game. And I did joke that they
Speaker 2: were going to pour hot coffee on the winning coach.
Speaker 3: They had ice.
Speaker 2: Coffee that they poured on the coach. But this is
Speaker 2: what they do with Gatorade, So what's the difference. Gatorade's cold,
Speaker 2: I have ice coffee on the coach.
Speaker 8: There.
Speaker 2: All right, update the pull results if you can Seaton
Speaker 2: from the first hour of the program. Charles Barkley will
Speaker 2: join us in about a half hour from now.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we got up there right now. Most awkward quarterback
Speaker 7: situation in the NFL, so once from Paul if Falcons, Browns, Vikings,
Speaker 7: forty nine ers. Okay, Jets could have made that list,
Speaker 7: but we only have room for four options. Okay, right now,
Speaker 7: the Falcons with forty seven percent of that vote leading.
Speaker 7: That's recency bias, though that's not the right answer. Yes,
Speaker 7: we'll explore that a little deeper.
Speaker 2: Coming up next hour, one Hour in the Books on
Speaker 2: this Wednesday, Fritzy Seaton, Marv Paula Years, Truly, Charles Barkley
Speaker 2: in the on deck circle. Hope you'll join us as
Speaker 2: well our two Dan Patrick Show
