Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. It's our two on this program. It's a Wednesday,
Speaker 1: it's a new day. Every day it is a super Bowl,
Speaker 1: and we have to act like we're Marianna Rivera. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you blow the save, you don't get the win, and
Speaker 1: you have to move on. And that's what happened last night.
Speaker 1: I thought we had the win. Uh we blew it.
Speaker 1: And now the comeback begins. The story gets even better
Speaker 1: for next year. See, I cap trying to I'm trying
Speaker 1: to hide myself up here because nobody else is doing that. Yes, Todd,
Speaker 1: we blew It's kind of hard.
Speaker 2: It's not like we came in for the save and
Speaker 2: then we gave up the game winning home RK. These
Speaker 2: are independent judges that make arbitrate the things.
Speaker 1: What kind of analogy would you have?
Speaker 2: We weren't selected yet again they picked us something over
Speaker 2: us in our category most faceless people.
Speaker 1: I used a sports analogy, Todd. That's what I'm trying
Speaker 1: to get to, I know. But we got to forget
Speaker 1: about it. We cried, we moaned, we whined. In the
Speaker 1: first hour.
Speaker 3: We didn't blow it. There was nothing that we did.
Speaker 1: Everything wet it felt like it was a pick six.
Speaker 1: Really we lost on a pick six. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: the feeling I have today. We had it and football analogy.
Speaker 1: Who do we lose to NFL Live with a pick six?
Speaker 1: Seeing dan Orlovsky walking up there and I'm going, yeah,
Speaker 1: the skinny jeans on, yeah, quarterback pick six? Yes, Mormon?
Speaker 3: Are we more like Russell Wilson at the one yard line?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 3: NFL Live is Malcolm Butler?
Speaker 1: But Russ already had a ring. Good point, We don't
Speaker 1: have a ring. What to pick six.
Speaker 2: Would suggest you or one of us, or as a group,
Speaker 2: we made the wrong player threw made an error of
Speaker 2: some sort.
Speaker 3: We threw a pick six.
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's more of an officiating mistake by
Speaker 2: the judges of the academy.
Speaker 1: Todd, you didn't say a word in the first hour,
Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden, you're going to criticize
Speaker 1: every one of our sports only. Jeez.
Speaker 3: I just I don't like blow it that. I don't
Speaker 3: like pick sex.
Speaker 1: I don't think that depicts what happened. We're just having fun.
Speaker 1: It's okay, all right.
Speaker 3: I'm a little sensitive too. You're not the only one
Speaker 3: that feels, you know, a little bummed that we didn't win.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go.
Speaker 4: Come on, Yes, Paul, who of this group most thought
Speaker 4: in the moment when they're reading the thing?
Speaker 1: Me?
Speaker 4: I was actually not I shouldn't say a confident to
Speaker 4: the level that I was looking at the steps to
Speaker 4: walk up there, going we'll watch those steps because they're
Speaker 4: a little jagged.
Speaker 1: There was a camera man who was up by the stage,
Speaker 1: and I thought, you know, if I walk up, I'll
Speaker 1: make sure I don't bump him or we as a group.
Speaker 4: You and I actually had a last minute conversation about
Speaker 4: your speech or what you're gonna say, and we kind
Speaker 4: of ripped a little something to the level where I
Speaker 4: was like, yeah, Dan's gonna be up there talking.
Speaker 1: I had people coming up prior to saying, Hey, I
Speaker 1: hope you win. You're gonna win. I saw Kyle Brandt
Speaker 1: Good Morning football. He was right there, shook his hand.
Speaker 1: I think I sounded sincere when I said hey, good luck.
Speaker 1: I didn't mean it. Oh No, it's okay. We lost. Okay,
Speaker 1: now you can say we didn't win. That felt like
Speaker 1: a loss. Okay, Yes, Elgin Baylor. It's great, great, great player,
Speaker 1: all time. Great players never got a ring. It's okay,
Speaker 1: maybe more like Patrick ewing Well.
Speaker 5: I was trying to think of somebody who got to
Speaker 5: the finals like many many times.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's like for eight. I think something like that.
Speaker 4: Yes, I think I have the comp and this is
Speaker 4: very timely in a sad way. The great actor George
Speaker 4: Went who played Norm on Cheers that everyone knows. He
Speaker 4: passed away yesterday, and I didn't know that he never
Speaker 4: won an Emmy Award, a Supporting Actor Award. I would
Speaker 4: have just assumed he did.
Speaker 1: He got nominated I think six times.
Speaker 4: He was oh for six and it was six straight.
Speaker 4: Just like George Went.
Speaker 1: We are oh for six, are Norm from Cheers. That's
Speaker 1: a big compliment. Now everybody knows our name, all right.
Speaker 1: I think we're well received. They like us, good reaction.
Speaker 4: If we're the Norm from Cheers of sports TV and radio,
Speaker 4: that's a comp.
Speaker 1: Like, I'm okay with that. Yes, that's all right, you're
Speaker 1: comfortable with us. Pull up a chair, have a beer.
Speaker 1: I mean, not this early, although it feels like check
Speaker 1: in the back room and see if that's the case.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. They they went hard on the way down,
Speaker 1: diving into the alcohol, and I you know, I said, look,
Speaker 1: there's no bathroom on the bus, so everything in moderation,
Speaker 1: and lo and behold a couple the brgs had to
Speaker 1: have the bus pull over. Yes, Tom, they were knee.
Speaker 2: Deep in taco bell at about one fifteen in the
Speaker 2: morning in the kitchen there, so they had no interest
Speaker 2: in going to bed or doing anything that would resemble
Speaker 2: getting ready for that.
Speaker 1: At one point I'd look over and Tyler is double fisted.
Speaker 1: In fact, I took a picture. But yeah, the rg's
Speaker 1: got to go. And it was great. You know, we
Speaker 1: were there in mass If you're watching on Peacock, that
Speaker 1: is Ocean. Ocean's twelve there, Danny Ocean, all of us there.
Speaker 1: That's the group. That's what makes this show tick. Say
Speaker 1: good morning if you're watching on Pecock. Now you know
Speaker 1: what I have to work with. That's what makes this
Speaker 1: even more amazing. We say good morning. If you're watching
Speaker 1: on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app and our
Speaker 1: radio affiliates around the country. Fox Sports Radio, iHeartRadio, Wayne Gretzky.
Speaker 1: Next hour, we'll go to the NFL owners meetings. We
Speaker 1: might have a vote this morning on the tush Push.
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna outlaw, but we'll see. The NFL
Speaker 1: owners did unanimously approve players in Olympic flag football. Pacers
Speaker 1: next game one tonight, Nicks by four and a half
Speaker 1: and the Oilers at the Stars ok See rolls the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Timberwolves last night and they lead one series of
Speaker 1: one game to them. The Thunder had seventy second half
Speaker 1: points and Minnesota scored just twenty points in the paint.
Speaker 1: So there's your difference there. Second half. Minnesota, they didn't
Speaker 1: go inside, Anthony Edwards didn't shoot, and the Thunder just
Speaker 1: played like the Thunder a thirty point differential seventy to
Speaker 1: forty in the second half as they win it, dominating
Speaker 1: the Thunder of first team down scored two opponents by
Speaker 1: at least thirty or more points and a half in
Speaker 1: the same postseason. Last time that happened was Golden State
Speaker 1: and that was twenty eighteen. We got just stat of
Speaker 1: the day. Stat of the Day brought to you by
Speaker 1: Panini America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1: Great timing here, win or lose, we celebrate T shirts
Speaker 1: ten dollars. Right now, all of the T shirts were
Speaker 1: clearing out everything and they're great t shirts ten dollars
Speaker 1: right now at danpatrick dot com.
Speaker 4: Yes, Paul, I have a little update on the tush
Speaker 4: push from Diana Rassini of The Athletic. She said both
Speaker 4: the league's Competition Committee and players Health and Safety committees
Speaker 4: have voted the band to play. She said that was
Speaker 4: an expected vote to now send it to owners, but
Speaker 4: that would be the last steps. Not a surprise of
Speaker 4: breaking news, but she said those are the final steps.
Speaker 4: Supports handed off to the owners, the issuing one. The
Speaker 4: Health and Safety committee voted the band to play. That
Speaker 4: means they have to have some type of dataabasis on.
Speaker 1: Well, they can look at the potential so you can
Speaker 1: say we want to be proactive here. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: they look the commissioner doesn't want the play. That's why
Speaker 1: they tabled the vote the last time they got together.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is really simple, and then you have
Speaker 1: some backroom dealings, you get your votes. Maybe they're quid
Speaker 1: pro quo with whatever going on, But you know, here's
Speaker 1: the NFL owners, here's the NFL wanting more kickoffs. Now
Speaker 1: they're trying to they're trying to kind of massage manipulate,
Speaker 1: how do we get more kickoffs? So the kickoff. They
Speaker 1: wanted to get rid of the kickoff, but they wanted
Speaker 1: to keep it. But they didn't want you to run
Speaker 1: have any returns. They wanted to Hey, they kicked it
Speaker 1: out of the end zone and you're going to start
Speaker 1: fresh on the twenty five yard line. And then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, we're like, now need we need kickoffs?
Speaker 1: We need some movement here. Now they've gotten some movement here.
Speaker 1: Now what are they going to do? They're going to,
Speaker 1: you know, because now it's safer. Now we're going to
Speaker 1: try to have more kickoffs here until we get to
Speaker 1: a point where we were before where it's not safe
Speaker 1: on the kickoff. Can't just leave it where it is like,
Speaker 1: when you think about a league that tweaks its game,
Speaker 1: it's rules. The NFL does this more than all the
Speaker 1: other sports combined. But they also get more attention because
Speaker 1: they tweak. If you think about it, now, it does
Speaker 1: drive me crazy. They're like, you know, you can go
Speaker 1: wait is that the rule? Now? Oh wait a minute,
Speaker 1: that's where they spot the ball. It's hard to keep up,
Speaker 1: and it's my job to keep up because they're always
Speaker 1: tinkering with it, Like, can't we just figure out how
Speaker 1: to play the game already. You imagine somebody came back
Speaker 1: to life, who was you know, played football in the fifties,
Speaker 1: and they're like, wait a minute, what do you First
Speaker 1: of all, what are you doing on the kickoff? Oh damn,
Speaker 1: look at those helmets. Wait you're not allowed to. I
Speaker 1: can't hit him up in the head. Wait. I can't
Speaker 1: use my arm as a weapon. No you can't. Man,
Speaker 1: what happened? Yeah, the evolution of the NFL. Yes, boy, I.
Speaker 4: Can't tell whether I love that about the NFL or
Speaker 4: don't that they're willing to adjust to what the fans
Speaker 4: want and change rules year to year, But there's very
Speaker 4: little consistency from year year and it makes it more
Speaker 4: complex to watch, even for hardcore fans.
Speaker 1: I mean, it started with the catch and completing the
Speaker 1: process that drove me crazy, and it just felt like,
Speaker 1: let's get lawyers to provide the language here and then
Speaker 1: you're going, oh my god. And if you just take
Speaker 1: a stroll through the rule book sometime you'll be like,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's probably easier to pass the
Speaker 1: bar exam than it is to understand the NFL rule book.
Speaker 1: And I'm being serious. There's so much there. Let's say
Speaker 1: you grew up in England and or let's say you know,
Speaker 1: you grew up where they played cricket, and then you go, hey,
Speaker 1: check out the football and you're like, and this is
Speaker 1: coming from cricket where I'm you know, still trying to
Speaker 1: figure it out, where you're like, wait, how come everybody
Speaker 1: doesn't get to go out for a pass? And you know,
Speaker 1: when you think about it, that's one of those rules
Speaker 1: that sounds like, well, you know, do we want that? Yes,
Speaker 1: I love to have k you know, you have your
Speaker 1: tackles that Wait a minute, but if you line up there,
Speaker 1: then you're too far back in the back. No, you
Speaker 1: can't have two guys in. No, you can't. Like it's
Speaker 1: it's wild, Yes, Martin.
Speaker 6: Remember when the playoffs started, we were like, oh, what
Speaker 6: are the overtime rules? I'm not sure this.
Speaker 1: Year when Donovan McNabb didn't know about overtime and he
Speaker 1: played in the NFL, and you're like, we got a lot,
Speaker 1: we got too much going on. Zach and Knoxville. Hi, Zach,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind tonight?
Speaker 7: ADP, Thanks for taking my call. Y'all were talking about
Speaker 7: the analogy with the sports and this sports that he
Speaker 7: feels like a real Charles Woodson Peyton Manning Heisman Trophy
Speaker 7: situation where ESPN and ABC and Brent Musburger put him
Speaker 7: over the top. And that's what's happening to.
Speaker 8: You, guys.
Speaker 7: You're getting, you're getting big league and I don't appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you, Zach, thank you. Uh, we appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Thank you for the analogy there. Kevin in California, Hi, Kevin,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind?
Speaker 9: Good morning, guys.
Speaker 8: I got two ways you'll get an Emmy next year.
Speaker 1: One is pretty simple. Drop the.
Speaker 8: Just like in the sulcial network speak, Yes, damn fast
Speaker 8: show next year.
Speaker 9: Make it simple.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, yeah, continue, I'm sorry now.
Speaker 8: My second option is a long shot.
Speaker 10: Add Ted McGinley, the actor who always joined shows and
Speaker 10: put him over the top in the nineties, in the
Speaker 10: two thousands.
Speaker 1: Yeah, add him to the cast.
Speaker 3: That's my second option.
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you, Kevin. Kind of like Deaftnes, not the
Speaker 1: Deaf Tones, Yeah just okay, yeah Edge, not the ad
Speaker 1: smashing Pumpkins maybe, or actually I think they are the
Speaker 1: Smashing But see I was waiting last night. So they
Speaker 1: make the announcement right before they make the announcement. I'm
Speaker 1: waiting to hear the Yeah, the Dan Patrick Show. And
Speaker 1: then when I heard.
Speaker 5: NFL Live and the dude that announced it was ready
Speaker 5: to get out of there is just like all right,
Speaker 5: and the Emmy goes to NFL Live, ESPN congratulations, see
Speaker 5: you guys later.
Speaker 1: By that was Roy Wood, the comedian, Yeah, yeah, Polly.
Speaker 4: When I heard when I didn't hear the I started
Speaker 4: turning out of my seat. I was like, maybe we
Speaker 4: should change it to the have a little more attitude
Speaker 4: about ourselves th e Yes The Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1: Lisa and Albany. Hey, Lisa, Hey.
Speaker 11: Dan, first time, long time as a startup nonprofit. I
Speaker 11: totally respect what you are doing with such a lean team,
Speaker 11: and I think it's completely ridiculous that you're competing against
Speaker 11: these one trick pony type shows, you know, football or baseball.
Speaker 11: I mean, how baseball gets three nominations also makes no sense.
Speaker 11: But here's my issue with the event started in your garage.
Speaker 11: Was the Sports Emmy's taking place last night in the garage.
Speaker 11: There was bad echo, weird camera shots. The audience looked
Speaker 11: like they were pained to be there. They need to
Speaker 11: grow to your level. Top notch before you want to
Speaker 11: be up on that stage. Anyways, I've had the app
Speaker 11: downloaded for twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: Let's go, Thank you, Lisa, Thank you. It's a tough audience.
Speaker 1: By the way Lisa gets it, you're if you're looking
Speaker 1: for laughs and you're somebody up there like David Hill
Speaker 1: who got the Lifetime Achievement, mister Kareem Rintz. He makes
Speaker 1: a joke about Hugh Jackman had work done, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: what crickets and nobody's laughing, and then he goes anyway, anyway,
Speaker 1: I got off the rails, or let me get back
Speaker 1: on the rails, like it's not a place to go
Speaker 1: and expect any kind of laughter. That awkward? Yes it was, yes, Yes,
Speaker 1: Mike and Wisconsin. Hi Mike, what's on your mind?
Speaker 8: Warn fellas, thoughts and prayers lot. But I think I
Speaker 8: cracked the code on why you didn't win it. I
Speaker 8: apologize if you covered this. But how many of your
Speaker 8: clips that you submitted included the Cowboys and or lebron Oh?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I can get the list real quick.
Speaker 1: Is that a good thing?
Speaker 5: We should have had Stephen Wilson Junior sing about his
Speaker 5: dad and Lebron rather than just.
Speaker 1: So they loved the Cowboys and it made him cry. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: because his dad was a huge Cowboys fan. He just
Speaker 1: said something like that. Then, dang it, is it a
Speaker 1: good thing to have Lebron and or the Cowboys in
Speaker 1: there with your sports emmy? Real? Yeah, we got to
Speaker 1: see what they submitted.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I could tell you if NFL Live won, it
Speaker 4: must be because they hit the Cowboys quite often, not
Speaker 4: being facetious. They that's a big topic on their show.
Speaker 4: I would I assume they're in there because they.
Speaker 1: Spent three million dollars on a VR headset. No, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, like we're breaking down.
Speaker 9: We're gonna go.
Speaker 1: Inside Dak Prescott's head live to see Dan Orlovsky's got Yeah.
Speaker 1: We spent five hundred million dollars on this.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah whatever, Yeah, like we can't compete with those guys.
Speaker 1: Oh we got goggles. We are competing with the budget
Speaker 1: that we have, and they have like goggles on and
Speaker 1: they're doing artificial intelligence and whatever. We're Crystal Palace and
Speaker 1: they're in city. We are competing with them. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: Crystal Palace won. We didn't win. Yeah, it took one
Speaker 1: hundred and nineteen years though I don't have that much time.
Speaker 1: Nothing's guaranteed. That might have been my best shot death
Speaker 1: could that could have been it? What?
Speaker 2: So we're saying there's some kind of cheap code, the
Speaker 2: certain words, phraises, things that have to go into the
Speaker 2: clip reel that puts you in a better standing.
Speaker 1: I think there are better ways to present your show.
Speaker 1: I do believe that. I do. I'm not saying that
Speaker 1: we didn't do it this time around, but you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's there's a lot of talented shows out there,
Speaker 1: great shows.
Speaker 6: Yes, Marvin, I know, I know exactly what you need.
Speaker 6: You got to get five people into the Hall of Fame,
Speaker 6: any of their respective hall of Fames, like you did
Speaker 6: last year, in the year before, in the year before.
Speaker 3: That's the Emmy reel.
Speaker 1: But I got John Facenda into the Pro Football Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame, Brent Musburger into the Hall of Fame, the
Speaker 1: band Foreigner into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: I said more, Oh gosh, I gotta get mel Kiper
Speaker 1: in there. All right, But you would think and the
Speaker 1: selfless Sports Emmy goes to the Dan Patrick Show because
Speaker 1: we promote others. Yes, quickly, I know we've got a
Speaker 1: break in the past.
Speaker 4: We did send in the John Facenda clip is part
Speaker 4: of our Emmy reel and that year we did not
Speaker 4: get nominated. Last year was not the Brent Musburger year.
Speaker 4: The upcoming year will be the Brent Musburger year that
Speaker 4: we would have that clip in our Emmy reel. Our
Speaker 4: Emmy reel this year was Stephen Wilson Junior singing, Josh
Speaker 4: Jacobs tackling me you, memorializing Jerry West when he passed away,
Speaker 4: Dione Sanders at the Super Bowl, and Tory Levolo of
Speaker 4: the Diamondbacks telling Paul Skeins they'd start for the All
Speaker 4: Star Game, which was a great segment. That's a hammer.
Speaker 1: It is, it is, it is.
Speaker 5: It's a great list, you know now that I think
Speaker 5: about it, though, it is a lot more difficult to
Speaker 5: just talk about the NFL. It is a lot more
Speaker 5: difficult to just analyze the games that just happened and
Speaker 5: then preview the ones coming up. You're right, that is
Speaker 5: they are tackling much more when you look at what
Speaker 5: we submitted versus what they probably submitted.
Speaker 1: You're right, it's what they did is much more. We're
Speaker 1: going to head to the Owners Meeting, the NFL Owners Meeting.
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about the Toush push and some
Speaker 1: of the other things coming up right after this.
Speaker 3: Filling one hour versus three hours.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that gives us more time, you know, we
Speaker 1: get three hours of content, maybe we do a half hour.
Speaker 5: Wait, one of those five clips, do you think is
Speaker 5: the one that cost us?
Speaker 1: Uh, Pauli trying to tackle Josh Jacobs or getting tackled
Speaker 1: by Josh Day. No, you know what, we're winning because
Speaker 1: well we're nominated because this is what we do. That's
Speaker 1: all we did. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports

Speaker 5: Well, right now we've got up there. The Dan Patrick
Speaker 5: Show is the Hall of dot dot dot fame or
Speaker 5: very good?
Speaker 1: Right now? Our audience, well, you know what, I appreciate this.
Speaker 1: They have eighty nine percent.
Speaker 5: Hall of Fame. All right, I appreciate a little morale
Speaker 5: boost from the audience. Normally they like to, you know,
Speaker 5: bring us down a little bit down, even more than
Speaker 5: they can, but they're really rallying behind us today.
Speaker 1: I think we're the Hall of very Good. I realized
Speaker 1: that around midnight last night. I think it's the Hall
Speaker 1: of very good. And I'm okay with that. If that's
Speaker 1: how I go out, I go out is very good. Yes, marmon, no,
Speaker 1: no disca. I mean, I'm in the Hall of fame.
Speaker 1: But I'm saying us electively, it's very good. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: we actually bring you down. Yes, I'm a Hall of
Speaker 1: famer now I got I'm just in the hall of
Speaker 1: very good. It's all all right. Well, thanks thanks now
Speaker 1: that you put it that way. Jeremy Fowler, ESPN senior
Speaker 1: NFL reporter joining us from the owners meeting. All right, Jeremy,
Speaker 1: where are we? The countdown for the vote for the
Speaker 1: toush push.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Dan, great to be with you, and you are
Speaker 9: a hall of fame in my book. You should not
Speaker 9: let last night's results affect anything at all. Certainly, but don't.
Speaker 1: You contribute to NFL Live the show that won the
Speaker 1: sports semmy? Do you get a sports Semmy?
Speaker 9: I think I actually do from what I am.
Speaker 1: The show Should You Have Won? Should NFL Live? Should
Speaker 1: that had won? Last night? Over us?
Speaker 9: You know, it's I think it's a tremendous show, uh,
Speaker 9: Laura red Legend l a tremendous job. I love that show.
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just kidding.
Speaker 9: I'm a very very small part of it. Okay, your
Speaker 9: Hall of Fame career should be the morale boost that
Speaker 9: you need this morning.
Speaker 1: All right, all right, okay, sorry to do that too.
Speaker 1: That's all I wanted to talk to you about. Jeremy,
Speaker 1: thank you. I don't care about the toush push and
Speaker 1: we're okay, okay, what's the time frame here on the vote?
Speaker 9: Any minute then? With those so that the packers their
Speaker 9: proposals in owners my understanding or voting, like right down
Speaker 9: the hall as we speak, you know, they're meeting on
Speaker 9: a Jason Kelcey walked through the hallways with Eagles owner
Speaker 9: Jeffrey Leurry a little while ago. So he's in the meeting.
Speaker 9: Maybe he can sway some votes, maybe he can help
Speaker 9: the Eagles here the Philly is clearly all hands on
Speaker 9: deck to try to sway some people. So what was
Speaker 9: told to me from some teams is that there is
Speaker 9: a momentum for this to change, for the tush push
Speaker 9: to be banned. They only got sixteen votes in March,
Speaker 9: so they need three Forest majority vote, which is twenty
Speaker 9: four votes to get this push through and then you
Speaker 9: know they'll go from there. So seems to be momentum.
Speaker 9: I think it will be close, and it could be
Speaker 9: really I'm checking my phone right now to see what
Speaker 9: goes down here, but it is expected early this morning.
Speaker 1: What kind of language do you think is going to
Speaker 1: be in or changed with this. Let's say they get
Speaker 1: rid of it, it is there going to be language
Speaker 1: that's put in their rule book.
Speaker 9: So the language right now is from the packers proposal
Speaker 9: that was tweaked this week to make it broader, because
Speaker 9: I think the issue that teams had back in March
Speaker 9: was like it was too specific to one team, right
Speaker 9: They felt that it was specific to the Eagles. They
Speaker 9: wanted to tailor that to just be back to it
Speaker 9: the way it was in the early two thousands, which
Speaker 9: is you can't push or pull any ball carrier at
Speaker 9: all at any time, or it's a ten yard penalty.
Speaker 9: So I think that sort of what's the appetite a
Speaker 9: little bit of some of the teams that were on
Speaker 9: the fence, you know, they're just there are a lot
Speaker 9: of teams that want to get that quote rugby style
Speaker 9: play out of there. What's still uncleared Dan is what
Speaker 9: the data is on injury prevention here, Like, if there
Speaker 9: really is an issue with this play that causes more
Speaker 9: injury risk than others, then that's great, let's see the data.
Speaker 9: But right now, I don't know that anybody has seen that.
Speaker 9: Health and Safety has talked to the league. So maybe
Speaker 9: today we'll get some sort of clarity on why that's
Speaker 9: important or if this is more just under the guise
Speaker 9: of player safety, which I know is some around the league.
Speaker 9: I believe that might be the case.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there and they could probably frame this
Speaker 1: and say we're being proactive. We don't have negative data
Speaker 1: or injury data. We want to be proactive. I understand
Speaker 1: how they can spin this, but like aesthetically, it's not pleasing.
Speaker 1: The NFL is in an entertainment business and it's a
Speaker 1: predictable play. It's like the extra point like we don't
Speaker 1: want to we don't want predictability. They can't say that,
Speaker 1: but I think that's really what's happening behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: That's my gut feeling.
Speaker 9: Well, and the Eagles are a major brand in the
Speaker 9: league and they've had tremendous success with it, and it
Speaker 9: evokes a lot of emotion because from a football standpoint,
Speaker 9: there's still our teams and coaches and gereal maners in
Speaker 9: the league that will tell you, like, you shouldn't punish
Speaker 9: the team for being able to execute a play that
Speaker 9: you can't stop. So that is really a core issue
Speaker 9: here that really won't go away. So you're right, it's
Speaker 9: a matter of taste in a lot of ways. And
Speaker 9: you know, his injury prevents really a thing. You know,
Speaker 9: some people in league say that they think it could
Speaker 9: cause some sort of catastrophic injury. We just don't know
Speaker 9: that yet, so we have to go by what they
Speaker 9: want and the fact that, yes, it is an entertainment industry.
Speaker 9: I think part of the equation too, is that a
Speaker 9: lot of teams feel like the Eagles would still get
Speaker 9: these plays without having to push from behind like usually
Speaker 9: Jalen Hurts in that offensive line. They get it anyways,
Speaker 9: So I don't think the Eagles will be all that
Speaker 9: affected by this, to be honest, on a football standpoint.
Speaker 1: I don't either. I said that. I've been saying that
Speaker 1: with that offensive line, with that quarterback, there's no quarterback
Speaker 1: like him. It's a low target. It's not like Josh Allen.
Speaker 1: It's a low target for a guy who squatted six
Speaker 1: hundred pounds. I mean, let's be realistic here. You're not
Speaker 1: going to stop that. I mean you might a couple
Speaker 1: of times, but they're probably you know, their success rate
Speaker 1: will probably be over ninety percent. But you know, we
Speaker 1: had Matt Lafleura on at the draft, and here's the
Speaker 1: Green Bay Coats saying admitting that the NFL nudged them
Speaker 1: to be the team that would put its name behind
Speaker 1: this to get this play a band. So that's the
Speaker 1: NFL saying to the Packers, Hey, I mean that tells
Speaker 1: you everything you need to know. The NFL does not
Speaker 1: want this playing.
Speaker 9: Well, it would be naive to think that Roger Goodell's
Speaker 9: not involved in the decision making here. You know, you
Speaker 9: have a couple of different tenants. You have the Competition Committee,
Speaker 9: which is eight or nine people, you know, composed of
Speaker 9: general managers and team presidents around the league. So they've
Speaker 9: recommended that the tush push should be out. You have
Speaker 9: the health and safety component, and then you have Goodell,
Speaker 9: who is a presence and if votes need to be swayed,
Speaker 9: he can be involved in those discussions. So typically what
Speaker 9: the league wants, the league gets the Phillies pushing back here.
Speaker 9: You know that like Nick Sirianni has a pretty big
Speaker 9: coaching tree now with Shane Steichen in Indianapolis, two or
Speaker 9: three others that are head coaches whose teams benefited from
Speaker 9: the Tush push and don't want to go against the Eagles.
Speaker 9: So but that's only three or four teams. Do you
Speaker 9: have enough to sway the majority?
Speaker 1: Jeremy Fowler, who will win a Sports Emmy because NFL
Speaker 1: Live won a Sports Emmy last night, joining us from
Speaker 1: the NFL owners meeting.
Speaker 9: You can't have mine, we'll switch the name on it
Speaker 9: be fine.
Speaker 1: What else should we be aware of that could happen today?
Speaker 9: So the interesting news this morning, Dan was that the
Speaker 9: playoff reseating proposal from the Detroit Lions, which they were proposing, Hey, look,
Speaker 9: if you have a better record as a wildcard team
Speaker 9: than a division winner, you should jump them in the
Speaker 9: seatings that has been off the table, that has been
Speaker 9: now revoked at least for this term. But it was
Speaker 9: a little bit of a surprise. It didn't have much legs,
Speaker 9: but I thought they would at least vote on it.
Speaker 9: They are not doing that now, So it's going to
Speaker 9: be the same playoff format this season. But there is
Speaker 9: an acknowledgment here that, like, if it goes to eighteen
Speaker 9: games eventually or in future years, they're gonna have to
Speaker 9: receive this thing. They're gonna have to work it out.
Speaker 9: They don't really want situations where teams have meetingless games
Speaker 9: in December and January, when you're locked into a two
Speaker 9: seed and you're resting your guys, or you saw the
Speaker 9: Rams do that last year, resting your guys in the
Speaker 9: last week. You know, they want these games to matter.
Speaker 9: Even though I think some fans love second and third
Speaker 9: stringers playing and the dynamics of who's gonna tank and
Speaker 9: who's not, Like, I think there's an element of that,
Speaker 9: but for the most part of the league doesn't want that.
Speaker 9: They want good games. So I do think they're gonna
Speaker 9: switch that eventually. It just won't happen this week. And
Speaker 9: then you got some onside kick news. There's some stuff
Speaker 9: about you know, you can do an onside kick anytime
Speaker 9: during the game, not just the fourth quarter when you're down,
Speaker 9: if you're from behind. You can do it in the
Speaker 9: first quarter if you want. And they're gonna move the
Speaker 9: kickoff point like a yard. I don't know why. I'm
Speaker 9: going to find out why they're doing that. They're trying
Speaker 9: to create a better success rate on these kicks. It's
Speaker 9: kind of become a boring player. They're trying to spice
Speaker 9: it up, but you have to.
Speaker 1: Declare that we're hey, we're gonna have an onside kick.
Speaker 1: You have to tell right, Oh my god, correct, Okay.
Speaker 9: Yeah, So it's they're they're hoping for a little bit
Speaker 9: more excitement.
Speaker 1: Anything I need to know about Aaron Rodgers today.
Speaker 9: So Dan, I checked on that this week. You know,
Speaker 9: I kind of get the same lines from people in Pittsburgh,
Speaker 9: which is, hey, we remain optimistic, we remain in contact
Speaker 9: with Aaron Rodgers, no new update yet, so they all
Speaker 9: are essentially still waiting on him. You know, I go
Speaker 9: back to like, this is his first foray in the
Speaker 9: free agency in a twenty year career that was highly unpredictable.
Speaker 9: So this was never going to be smooth or easy,
Speaker 9: and you know OTA's is in a little under three weeks.
Speaker 9: For the Stealers, they may twenty seventh, so that'd be
Speaker 9: the target date for them. They would, they would, you know,
Speaker 9: certainly hope that by then he's in the fold. I
Speaker 9: don't think they've changed their plan. They're waiting on him.
Speaker 9: They know he's had some stuff in his inner circle
Speaker 9: or some family stuff that he has been dealing with,
Speaker 9: which he alluded to on the pat MC could be
Speaker 9: showed a few months ago, so they're sensitive to all
Speaker 9: that and they're just going to kind of roll with
Speaker 9: Mason Rudolph until that at There's some teams I've talked
Speaker 9: to that are still kind of wondering, like, is he
Speaker 9: just waiting out the Vikings, you know, because the Vikings
Speaker 9: would be an ideal scenario. One of the best play
Speaker 9: callers in the league and Kevin O'Connell nine Dome games,
Speaker 9: You're guaranteed nine Dome games per year here, there's some
Speaker 9: element of that. But I check in with the Vikings.
Speaker 9: I still don't expect that they're moving forward with Jji McCarthy.
Speaker 9: So he really has no other option other than Pittsburgh
Speaker 9: or retire, it seems right now.
Speaker 1: Did he get married.
Speaker 9: I do not know that. I haven't heard that. Okay,
Speaker 9: I haven't heard that, so you know, it could be
Speaker 9: just something the matter with his family. But yeah, I know.
Speaker 12: No.
Speaker 1: I saw him wearing a ring and then there was
Speaker 1: speculation did he get married? And maybe it's a mood ring,
Speaker 1: which would be appropriate for Aaron, Like what's the mood
Speaker 1: that you're in? But thanks for joining us, and congratulations
Speaker 1: on winning the Sports Emmy last night.
Speaker 9: Thank you, Dan, I appreciate it. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: That's Jeremy Fallon. He's a big time NFL reporter for
Speaker 1: NFL Live at the Mothership. Yes, I like that.
Speaker 4: We didn't even know that he won a Sports Emmy
Speaker 4: for being a participant in NFL Live Together.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I do get one, man, It must
Speaker 1: be nice. That's what working at a place like ESPN
Speaker 1: or Fox or whatever is.
Speaker 5: I have friends who have a dozen and they're like, oh,
Speaker 5: I think I picked one up this year.
Speaker 1: They're like, wow, oh my god, John and San Diego, Hi, John,
Speaker 1: what's on youa Ron?
Speaker 14: Hey, how's it going. I had a question in regards
Speaker 14: to the on side kick. It's very frustrating year after
Speaker 14: year that the owners don't decide just to completely get
Speaker 14: rid of it. Because the success rate is so small,
Speaker 14: and there's been so many close games that have ended
Speaker 14: in such a small percentage of getting the ball, why
Speaker 14: don't they vote to have like a fourth and fifteen
Speaker 14: play or something more likely that our team can get
Speaker 14: the ball back because the on sidekick just obviously it's impossible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have proposed that. There's been language that's been
Speaker 1: drawn up where teams have suggested that I just think
Speaker 1: it's it's an inherently violent sport. You know, we're past
Speaker 1: the concussion lawsuit. I think when you sign up, you
Speaker 1: know they it's violent and I could get hurt. I
Speaker 1: just you can take safeguards, but safeguards should be with equipment.
Speaker 1: You still need to play the game. And this is
Speaker 1: how the game is played. And yes, it's violent, but
Speaker 1: I don't I just don't think you can do a
Speaker 1: little of this and a little of that and tweaking
Speaker 1: and you know we're gonna have an on side kick,
Speaker 1: but you got to promise you're not going to hit
Speaker 1: somebody hard. Hey, you got to tell us that you're
Speaker 1: gonna have an I mean, it's it's pro football. It's
Speaker 1: going to hurt. You sign up for that. We'll take
Speaker 1: a break. More phone calls coming up. We will play
Speaker 1: are we going to play in or out?
Speaker 8: Paul?
Speaker 1: Or fill in the blank? The fill in the blank?
Speaker 1: All right? That's after this. Be sure to catch the
Speaker 1: live edition of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine
Speaker 1: am Eastern six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio WAPP. Time to play fill in the blank?
Speaker 1: About you ready to play? Fill in the blank?
Speaker 4: Everybody, let's play, let's go, let's play the game.
Speaker 1: So once again, the NFL owners have passed a rule
Speaker 1: change that would allow teams to declare on sidekicks at
Speaker 1: any point during the game if they're trailing, but they
Speaker 1: would be kicking from the thirty four yard line instead
Speaker 1: of the thirty five. Does it still have to go
Speaker 1: ten yards or does it go have to go eleven yards? Yes? Ton,
Speaker 1: and you still have to.
Speaker 3: Let them know what advantage during there this week?
Speaker 1: I know soft it is it's football. Ready for a
Speaker 1: new job? Express Employment professionals can help. Express helps people
Speaker 1: in all industries fine work. Their sweet spot is logistics roles.
Speaker 1: Express never charges job seekers if you go to expresspros
Speaker 1: dot com. All right, here we go. The game is
Speaker 1: fill in the blank yet how it works?
Speaker 7: Toime?
Speaker 3: I do?
Speaker 1: Okay? Blank? NFL players will be on Team USA's flag
Speaker 1: football team at the Olympics. Ten, ten, ten, seaton? How
Speaker 1: many are roster size total? Do we have that information?
Speaker 1: Do not have the rosters? Song? That's going to greatly
Speaker 1: impact my guests.
Speaker 5: All right, I'm gonna say, let's say if there's twelve players,
Speaker 5: perhaps I'm going.
Speaker 1: To say also ten okay, Marvin.
Speaker 3: Non famous NFL players will be in flag football.
Speaker 4: Okay, Paul, Well, that's a good one by Marvin. I'm
Speaker 4: looking at the flag football list and the initial rosters
Speaker 4: for twenty twenty four are out, and there's about eighteen
Speaker 4: guys on this list for the men's team. So my
Speaker 4: answer is too two will be on the rest.
Speaker 1: But you can only have one play for each country.
Speaker 5: No one for each team for the country. One player
Speaker 5: from each team can have right, Like like the Bills
Speaker 5: can't have have two players go, they can have one guy,
Speaker 5: and then the Dolphins can have one guy. And every
Speaker 5: team in the NFL is allowed to have one guy go.
Speaker 5: But my misunderstanding that, well, then then you'd have thirty
Speaker 5: two guys who you don't have to take one from
Speaker 5: every team.
Speaker 1: I thought it was Team USA will have one NFL
Speaker 1: player that like the team that represents Team USA. Then
Speaker 1: wouldn't that be the answer to the question? One sure question?
Speaker 5: Just NFL players will be on Team USA's flag football.
Speaker 5: If there's only allowed to have one player, then the
Speaker 5: answer would be one.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's what I thought it was.
Speaker 5: I thought it was you're only allowed to have one
Speaker 5: from each team.
Speaker 1: Unless I've read it, you know, incorrectly, because then you
Speaker 1: get rid of you're gonna get rid of all the
Speaker 1: guys who have been playing flag football.
Speaker 5: Well, yes, so then the question would be out of
Speaker 5: that whole roster, how many of them will be NFL guys?
Speaker 5: So if you have twelve, I say, there'll probably be
Speaker 5: like two flag football guys, but ten guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, I's perfectly NFL.
Speaker 5: By the way, nobody understands what's happening, but we're kind
Speaker 5: of like, uh, I think I read it the right way.
Speaker 1: The Eagles response, if the push the tush push gets
Speaker 1: banned will be blank, Todd.
Speaker 2: Fine, will still beat you anywhere?
Speaker 1: Nine setan loophole, Marvin Minimum, Paul very snarky. The response,
Speaker 1: The Timberwolves are blank Todd dun ish, setan ish, good ish,
Speaker 1: Marvin thunderstruck, Paul treading water, Pacers versus Nicks will be
Speaker 1: blank Tod chippy.
Speaker 15: Disappointing, Marvin nostalgic, Paul epic as an actor being known
Speaker 15: mostly for one iconic role would be blank, Todd limiting
Speaker 15: seatan cool Marvin.
Speaker 4: Pigeonhole ish, Paul awesome but a grind.
Speaker 1: Yeah, George went who was norm on cheers passed away,
Speaker 1: whereas Todd likes to say George.
Speaker 3: Went atlay, George went to a better play.
Speaker 1: Our show will be in the Hall of blank time.
Speaker 3: Wonderful, Okay, I went there.
Speaker 1: All right, all right, wonderful, wonderful Paul or no, Seaton
Speaker 1: all a very good Marvin.
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame for influence haul.
Speaker 4: The Hall of Fame, okay, if there is one.
Speaker 1: We will blank a sportsmmy. I would blank a sports
Speaker 1: Emmy for sure. That's not a yes or no. Sorry,
Speaker 1: you've seen how emmy looks, Todd. We will blank of
Speaker 1: sports Emmy.
Speaker 3: Continue to wonder what it might be.
Speaker 1: Like to win Seaton. That's funny, that's a perfect answer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we will.
Speaker 5: Well continue to wonder what it's like to win a
Speaker 5: Sports Emmy. I think that's a nice way of saying
Speaker 5: we will not win one.
Speaker 1: Marvin, we will see a Sports Emmy. Oh we've seen him.
Speaker 3: Oh that's what I'm saying. We'll tell you to see him.
Speaker 4: Paul, we will no doubt win one four months after
Speaker 4: we all retire.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't want one. Then, all right, that's it.
Speaker 1: That's called Phil in the blank.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Hall of Bay, Hall of very good.
Speaker 1: Mo in Arizona, Hi Mo, what's on your mind tonight?
Speaker 8: Maran, Dan Dannette, I myself have been snub out of
Speaker 8: a couple of employees of the month.
Speaker 11: Uh, but I get it.
Speaker 9: I know why you guys are being snub man.
Speaker 11: You guys got to get a script that's it.
Speaker 1: Oh we got to go is scripted? Yeah, people, there's
Speaker 1: some people who think the show is scripted. Uh, it's not.
Speaker 1: There are times it probably should be scripted, but no,
Speaker 1: that's not scripted. If that's what it takes to win
Speaker 1: the Sports Emmy, I don't want the Sports Emmy. Stu
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania High Stu, Hey.
Speaker 10: Dan and Danett's first time long time six five, two
Speaker 10: hundred and five pounds, like you Danny product of strong
Speaker 10: Ohio roots. And I'd also like to throw in a
Speaker 10: suggestion for winning the Sports Emmy. I think you need
Speaker 10: to go full Roy Firestone, have Fritzy and arrange interviews
Speaker 10: with friends of the show that, let's just say, are
Speaker 10: pre program to emotional breakdown. Then use both in your submission.
Speaker 10: You'll get the vote for the emotional heartstrings folks. So
Speaker 10: that would be me I suggested. I think you get
Speaker 10: the emotional side of it.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Stu.
Speaker 5: Yeah, see, I think that's an interesting point that somebody
Speaker 5: else brings up. That's us kind of similar to Stu's point.
Speaker 5: Maybe next year's Sports Emmy clip should be nothing but
Speaker 5: us talking about not winning a Sports Emmy. So if
Speaker 5: we like, say we did the comparison of I don't
Speaker 5: know NFL Live versus all of the things that we cover,
Speaker 5: we have people singing, we had all of this stuff,
Speaker 5: and then that was then in the So you're really
Speaker 5: getting two years worth of clips into one segment. Does
Speaker 5: that make sense if we're talking about what we submitted
Speaker 5: last year, as like, see, this was all way better
Speaker 5: than the people that won last year. But then that's
Speaker 5: our new clip for next year. Now, you're really getting
Speaker 5: all of last year's clips and all of this year's clips.
Speaker 1: Are we tanking our Sports Emmy submission for next year?
Speaker 4: Oh and ramp it up for twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I'm not sure. Let's see what
Speaker 1: is it June? No, it's May.
Speaker 5: Okay, we have We still have a lot of the
Speaker 5: year to rally, to figure out Emmy submissions upcoming.
Speaker 2: Yes to what if we just submitted saying las Kyle
Speaker 2: with lacas Ky, with lacus Ky with Lkersky with Lakers
Speaker 2: Cowboy was just fifteen minutes of that, just to see
Speaker 2: what happens.
Speaker 4: Can't do any worse?
Speaker 1: I want to get no dominated time, final hour on
Speaker 1: the way
