Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Football is back tonight, NFL preseason kicks off, Panthers Cardinals
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame game tonight on NBC, and Peacock Come
Speaker 2: on in, stay awhile, gangs all here, Fritzy, Dylan, Marv, Pauliers.
Speaker 2: Truly in the back room guys as well. I mentioned
Speaker 2: yesterday I was going to do some manly things yesterday,
Speaker 2: and I did. Being here in Maine, maybe I did
Speaker 2: some mainly things. I took the pontoon boat out, didn't
Speaker 2: crash into anything, did a little fishing, did a little
Speaker 2: side by side ATV. Took my wife out and a
Speaker 2: friend and we were just running over things. Those things
Speaker 2: are they're indestructible. I got this Yamaha and it can
Speaker 2: climb a tree, I think, but did that yesterday. A
Speaker 2: little paddle boarding as well, So yeah, it was just
Speaker 2: a it was a manly thing. I said, you know what,
Speaker 2: I'm feeling like we should grill out tonight. Hun. She says, Okay,
Speaker 2: what's with the accent? I said, I don't know, I
Speaker 2: just feel like a man up here. I don't know
Speaker 2: if they they have an accent in Maine, but I
Speaker 2: think it's kind of a combination of Massachusetts and Maine,
Speaker 2: so it makes for an interesting accent there. But yeah,
Speaker 2: did some manly things yesterday. I'm all man when I
Speaker 2: get up here, Yes, PAULI.
Speaker 3: When you're in the ATV thing, are you all decked out?
Speaker 3: The helmet, the gloves that like firesuit those guys wear.
Speaker 2: No, No, we weren't going that fast because my wife
Speaker 2: said maybe we should wear helmets. And I said, if
Speaker 2: we were going fast and over, you know, real rough terrain,
Speaker 2: that I would do that. But and these guys had
Speaker 2: air conditioning. They have air conditioning in their side by sides.
Speaker 2: I didn't. And all of a sudden, there's branches, there's dust,
Speaker 2: and I was like, all right, I'm roughing it. And
Speaker 2: it was really warm out you get in there, and uh, yeah,
Speaker 2: it was fun manly, That's what it was. Manly, Yes,
Speaker 2: d Dan.
Speaker 4: Everyone knows there's nothing less manly than wearing a helmet.
Speaker 2: All right, well, in your ATV, maybe you don't need it.
Speaker 2: I did have my seat belt on, you know, but
Speaker 2: we weren't going very fast. So yes, Todd, I know
Speaker 2: I'm a.
Speaker 5: Worry wart and neurotic and don't take chances or know
Speaker 5: the whole story.
Speaker 6: But I still think at all times, even if you're
Speaker 6: just sitting in it, you should have your helmet on.
Speaker 2: Oh just sitting there, if you lose your balance.
Speaker 6: And your fall and all of a sudden you hit
Speaker 6: the side of the concrete. I think, at all times,
Speaker 6: if you're in some type of vehicle, why.
Speaker 2: Don't know you have a helmet. Why don't you have
Speaker 2: a helmet on right now?
Speaker 6: Because I'm confident, even though I'll get a little dizzy
Speaker 6: on occasion, that I can sit here and not have
Speaker 6: a serious injury. But I think anything that has wheels
Speaker 6: that I can move in any kind of direction, although
Speaker 6: sometimes in my chair gets a little loose, you should
Speaker 6: wear a helmet.
Speaker 2: We say good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, download
Speaker 2: the app if you haven't done so, you'd be able
Speaker 2: to see the beautiful man cave that we have. And
Speaker 2: Fritzi has his Friday Night Lights football jersey on Jim Riggins.
Speaker 2: Thank you to Panthers. Dylan is here. I know that's
Speaker 2: as close as we could get to the Panthers playing
Speaker 2: the Cardinals tonight. Marvin Pauley upfront and yours truly Lewis
Speaker 2: Riddick of the Mothership will stop by update the poll results,
Speaker 2: as well as Stefan Diggs to the commanders, which is
Speaker 2: interesting ish, but I don't know if that changes the
Speaker 2: fortunes of the commanders. You got Terry McLaurin, but you
Speaker 2: got a healthy Jade and Daniels back. Now we're going
Speaker 2: to see because a lot of times that rookie year,
Speaker 2: they don't know you, you may not know them, but
Speaker 2: Jade Daniels had enough talent where it felt like defenses
Speaker 2: were trying to catch up to him. And then once
Speaker 2: they do, then that's when we find out what you
Speaker 2: do to counteract them. And I'm really interested to see
Speaker 2: Jade and Daniels after the injury plague season last year,
Speaker 2: Kenny replicate what we saw in his first year. Pull
Speaker 2: questions from the first hour and what are we going
Speaker 2: with our two Dylan, Well, we add this up as
Speaker 2: a late first hour poll question. Dan as of today,
Speaker 2: who are you taking to win the nl MVP show?
Speaker 2: Hair Tani or Pete Crow, Armstrong or Toni fifty five
Speaker 2: point five percent taking PC A. Yeah, I think if
Speaker 2: Tani is not pitching now, it just comes down to
Speaker 2: a hitting contest, and I also have to factor in
Speaker 2: Pete Crow Armstrong is a goal glove center fielder, Otani
Speaker 2: being a DH limited with you know, sore knee, having
Speaker 2: the pitching element, uh, you know that's where he was
Speaker 2: gonna and will win more MVPs if he's able to
Speaker 2: do both at a very good level. Doesn't have to
Speaker 2: be great, but to do that, you know, it's always
Speaker 2: the Yeah, but he pitches as well, Yes, Dylan.
Speaker 4: Should the Mets get any credit for PCA's MVP season
Speaker 4: for one giving him to the Cubs and also in
Speaker 4: that same then taking Hovey bias off their hands at
Speaker 4: the same time.
Speaker 2: Wow, wow, sure, yeah, they can take some credit, take
Speaker 2: some blame. They need something. Yeah, yeah, all James in Virginia.
Speaker 2: We're talking about the Commanders. Of course, you gotta have
Speaker 2: James in Virginia.
Speaker 7: Oh, thank you for taking my call, brother, Happy Thursday, DP.
Speaker 7: Darn it. So look the Commanders man big time all
Speaker 7: the time, every time. But before I get to that, DP,
Speaker 7: you know, I got to tell you, man, I hope
Speaker 7: you have this a wonderful time at the wedding. Man,
Speaker 7: it's gonna be a great time of great experience, no
Speaker 7: matter what happens. It's okay to cry, man, let those
Speaker 7: feelings out and enjoy the moment, man, because you only
Speaker 7: get to go through it, hopefully just one time.
Speaker 8: Man.
Speaker 7: So but after that, man, of course, I got to
Speaker 7: call him and represent the commanders. Then you push, you
Speaker 7: push it on him. I got to push back a
Speaker 7: little bit. Man. People forget about Jaden Daniels and what
Speaker 7: he could do from inside that pocket.
Speaker 8: Man.
Speaker 7: He's not a running quarterback. He's a quarterback that can run,
Speaker 7: and he wins from inside the pocket man. They got
Speaker 7: Kerry McLaurin Optimist times at number one, a fantastic catcher
Speaker 7: in the game then, and he can still fly. You
Speaker 7: bring in Diggs now, he may not be as sass
Speaker 7: as he once was, but he's a proven receiver. I
Speaker 7: think he had over a thousand yards last season for
Speaker 7: New England. He can get open. They drafted Williams from
Speaker 7: Clemson and bring it. Brought in Chicken Punko, who can
Speaker 7: be a top flight tight end given the opportunities. Man,
Speaker 7: he didn't really do much in Tennessee, but he didn't
Speaker 7: really have a whole lot of quarterback help.
Speaker 8: To do that.
Speaker 7: So I'm excited to see plus you got Crossy americleing
Speaker 7: back for a second season. He rushed for almost nine
Speaker 7: hundred yards as a rookie, and he was in and
Speaker 7: out of the starting lineup. So and he's got game
Speaker 7: breaking speed. Now. There are some questions though when you
Speaker 7: talk about the back end of the wide receiver court.
Speaker 7: But that offensive line is strong. You got Larned. Me
Speaker 7: comes on the left side and Sam finds me at
Speaker 7: the right guard. I can keep going deeping, So I
Speaker 7: appreciate you. Let me run and have a wonderful time.
Speaker 9: Again.
Speaker 7: Man, you have a great day. Guy too. Lout the commanders.
Speaker 2: Thank you, James. I'm sure James has bad days, but
Speaker 2: you would never know it. He's always in a good mood.
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor got a contract extension two years forty four
Speaker 2: million dollars worth up to forty seven million. So that
Speaker 2: would be the Is that the largest contract? I don't
Speaker 2: think he's getting paid the most.
Speaker 5: Is he for a third contract?
Speaker 2: Is that per season? Is that what it is? Todd?
Speaker 5: I'm I have to look into more details about it.
Speaker 6: I just but it's the largest contract ever offered for
Speaker 6: running back in his third contract.
Speaker 5: I know that much.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I don't care. Okay, I guess what they're
Speaker 2: trying to say is most running backs don't get a
Speaker 2: third contract with their team. But congratulations Jonathan Taylor two years,
Speaker 2: forty four million dollar extension.
Speaker 3: Yes, Paul, he's twenty seven years old. Ran for sixteen
Speaker 3: hundred yards and eighteen touchdowns.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like him a lot. He's a home run
Speaker 2: hitter for that team.
Speaker 10: Yes, Marvin was in our MVP candidacy from about the
Speaker 10: first eight or nine weeks last season.
Speaker 2: I think he was an October VP. I put him
Speaker 2: in there. Yeah. Yeah, but I had Daniel Jones in
Speaker 2: there too, Like, hey man, you know they're whatever nine
Speaker 2: and one or something, and he's an MVP candidate. Yes, Martin.
Speaker 8: Ye.
Speaker 10: As soon as you said that, I was out. I
Speaker 10: was like, no, Daniel Jones cannot win league MVP. Maybe
Speaker 10: comeback Player of the Year coming back from being sorry,
Speaker 10: but not MVP.
Speaker 2: Well, you you can still put in candidates. You can
Speaker 2: be a candidate. It doesn't mean that I think you're
Speaker 2: going to win, but sometimes it's nice to say, oh,
Speaker 2: you know what seems like an MVP candidate or a
Speaker 2: Heisman candidate. Now, granted it might be September October but
Speaker 2: still you can be an early season candidate. There. Let
Speaker 2: me see, Trip in Vegas is back. Good morning, Trip,
Speaker 2: What do you have for meds?
Speaker 11: Always a pleasure to follow, James. My call today is
Speaker 11: an all Todd call, so he'll appreciate that. I think
Speaker 11: about I figure out who Todd looks like. If you
Speaker 11: look at the cartoon King of the Hill, Todd looks
Speaker 11: just like Bill, his neighbor. Then number two instead of
Speaker 11: the Minister's humor, I was thinking maybe we could call
Speaker 11: him the Notorious t O D D. And finally, since
Speaker 11: he has such a problem with cheese pizza, from now on,
Speaker 11: when he loses a vet, it's not going to be
Speaker 11: a pie to the face, It's going to be a
Speaker 11: cheese pizza to the face.
Speaker 8: Wow.
Speaker 2: Wow, Trip comes after you, Todd, but he brings.
Speaker 6: Up some interesting unique points, and a cheese pizza instead
Speaker 6: of a pie is kind of funny for the next
Speaker 6: time I screw up.
Speaker 2: Actually, and Reno Ashley, welcome to the program. What's on
Speaker 2: your mind today?
Speaker 12: Yod Marning?
Speaker 2: How are you great? Yep great?
Speaker 12: I just wanted to give you a woman's perspective after
Speaker 12: hearing I don't know, weeks and months and then talking
Speaker 12: about you know, the speech, but I think you should
Speaker 12: just let it have the emotions as being like a
Speaker 12: had a father of the sorry, daughter of the bride.
Speaker 12: You know, he cried, I cried. My table crack and
Speaker 12: after ten years still one of the most memorable parts
Speaker 12: of my wedding. So it's like it still tears me
Speaker 12: up to this day. And so you don't remember much
Speaker 12: about your wedding, but if there's one thing that's that's out.
Speaker 12: So I just say, let you have.
Speaker 7: All the emotions.
Speaker 2: Wait, are you getting choked up now?
Speaker 12: I am? I still think about it. Mix your tear up.
Speaker 2: I don't have any problems with the tears that I'm
Speaker 2: going to cry. It's the noise that I make Ashley
Speaker 2: when I cry blubbery.
Speaker 1: That's he blubbered too.
Speaker 12: And you know what, everyone at my table lost it
Speaker 12: and everyone like that's one of the things they still
Speaker 12: talk about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm a Hall of Fame broadcast anaphone.
Speaker 1: Look it up.
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know what your husband does for a living.
Speaker 2: I'm supposed to stand up there and talk to people.
Speaker 2: I'm supposed to be the rock of the family.
Speaker 12: You want it to be memorable, your daughter will remember
Speaker 12: it forever. It's so that you remember from that night.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, thank you, Ashley. Now I did have
Speaker 2: somebody in the family saying, you know, it'll be bad
Speaker 2: if you don't cry. I go, oh, now I can't win.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Paulie, I've been thinking about this for a long time.
Speaker 3: I'm glad you brought this up. I think it looks
Speaker 3: not good if you don't cry, if you're too measured
Speaker 3: and controlled. I think the more you break, everyone's like
Speaker 3: dance breaking. That's how big this moment is.
Speaker 2: I think everybody knows that I break, Paulie.
Speaker 3: But the randos at the wedding, the casual fans at
Speaker 3: the wedding, the casual people at the wedding. The more
Speaker 3: you break, the more credit you're gonna get long term. Yeah,
Speaker 3: now you can relax. I'm dead serious about this. I
Speaker 3: think they'll be like, wow, look at Dan and because
Speaker 3: it's natural and everything like that was awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I want the message to be the star,
Speaker 2: not the messenger. That's the problem. Yes, Todd, it's.
Speaker 5: All about just be real and relatable and you're a
Speaker 5: human being.
Speaker 6: You're gonna have your emotions and you can't get in
Speaker 6: your own head like that, whatever is meant to be,
Speaker 6: whatever is meant to come out in that moment.
Speaker 5: Like Paulie said, it's natural. Just let it flow.
Speaker 6: Don't over analyze it or read this thing five hundred
Speaker 6: times before you go up there.
Speaker 2: Thank you to do it.
Speaker 3: Yes, Yes, Todd's advice is like those things you get
Speaker 3: from a bad bath and Beyond, Live, laugh, love. They're
Speaker 3: very vague and they're flowy and nice.
Speaker 4: Todd blessed this home.
Speaker 5: But they're frameable lines.
Speaker 6: Even though they were kind of weak and vagant, you
Speaker 6: could get it like in a fortune cookie.
Speaker 10: Yes, Morvin, don't cry because it's over, Smile because it happened.
Speaker 3: Those signs are awful.
Speaker 2: I know, Todd, you'd be great at bed, Bath and Beyond.
Speaker 2: Coming up with those signs a little side.
Speaker 6: Gig, you know, I think I could come up with
Speaker 6: a few of those. Hate the game, don't hate that suddenly.
Speaker 4: Bless this mess, Yes, Dylan, Yeah, Todd's next gig, it's
Speaker 4: going to be in the R and D department at
Speaker 4: Home Goods. Just coming up with slogans for the wood
Speaker 4: panels in the.
Speaker 2: Mac Ace in New York. Good morning Ace, What do
Speaker 2: you have for me?
Speaker 13: Hey, good morning, Dan proud girl dad times three. Make
Speaker 13: sure you enjoy that day and my money's on you
Speaker 13: to crush the speech. Hey listen with some impending changes
Speaker 13: going on with the triple Crown format and what I
Speaker 13: would call a natural looking interview with the Cassia in
Speaker 13: the paddock of Saratoga a couple of weeks ago, I
Speaker 13: think it's time for DP stables to come about and
Speaker 13: maybe go in that direction. That being said, I have
Speaker 13: two questions for you. One what Danette would you name
Speaker 13: a horse after? And two what Danette would you let
Speaker 13: be the hot walker after the Kentucky Derby.
Speaker 2: I don't want Todd around a horse. I think that's
Speaker 2: best for both. I don't who would I name? I
Speaker 2: don't know. I guess I would probably name the horse
Speaker 2: after Todd. But you can't say ass.
Speaker 5: How about this?
Speaker 8: How about this? And down the stretch they come?
Speaker 5: Thank you Todd and Stle Milton Staples, best Freddy, thank
Speaker 5: you Todd Violin.
Speaker 2: Now I love that. I'm gonna give you a couple
Speaker 2: of bloops there. That was really good. The hot Walker,
Speaker 2: So after we've won the Kentucky Derby, then you get
Speaker 2: to walk the horse. Dylan looks kind of like a chic.
Speaker 2: I could. I could dress you up. You could be
Speaker 2: a chic there and I'd be like, man, they spend
Speaker 2: a lot of money on that three year old exact.
Speaker 3: There's a drug kingpim with Thank you Todd down in
Speaker 3: the stables.
Speaker 2: Thank you Todd.
Speaker 4: Yes, Dylan, I do think you should consider this whole
Speaker 4: getting into thoroughbred racing. No, you got the name already.
Speaker 4: I'll be your middle Eastern cheek hot walker.
Speaker 2: We could.
Speaker 4: It would be a bonding experience for everyone.
Speaker 2: If it was a small investment. Now, you know, I
Speaker 2: don't know what small investment is. I don't know what
Speaker 2: these things cost. I know it was fun going to
Speaker 2: Saratoga and counting stars. The three year old Philly that
Speaker 2: my friend part owner of ended up winning, and it
Speaker 2: was fun to be in the winter circle and see
Speaker 2: how everybody reacted. But I don't know enough about it
Speaker 2: where you could actually invest in it. You know, my
Speaker 2: friend invested, and he he invested his first horse he
Speaker 2: ever invested in went to the Kentucky Derby two years ago.
Speaker 2: The next horse that he invested in might be the
Speaker 2: best three year old Philly in America. So he says,
Speaker 2: he's maybe one of the great owners of horses in
Speaker 2: the country. One goes to the derby and one's maybe
Speaker 2: the best three three year old Philly.
Speaker 4: Yes, Dylan, but imagine hearing thank You Todd wins the
Speaker 4: Kentucky Derby.
Speaker 2: I think be great. But I'd have to convince these
Speaker 2: people that I would be investing in that. I have
Speaker 2: a name of a horse called thank You Todd, Yes Time, and.
Speaker 6: Fans can visit the horse in a place called open Barn,
Speaker 6: and you can give out all kinds of drinks and
Speaker 6: snacks and open barn.
Speaker 2: Well, that's exactly what I want. I want people there
Speaker 2: by the horse that people have been outside.
Speaker 5: You throw snacks into the throw snacks into the crown.
Speaker 2: Thank you Barn. Yeah, no, no, I got it. If
Speaker 2: you say it twice, then maybe it's not that good.
Speaker 2: You were you were going with open bar, right, that's
Speaker 2: what'll Yeah, I.
Speaker 5: Have to thank you Time for a horse.
Speaker 2: Dap take a break. Lewis Riddick of the Mothership will

Speaker 2: We'll talk to Lewis Riddick of The Mothership coming up
Speaker 2: here momentarily. Sean McVay, the Rams head coach, was on
Speaker 2: with the NFL Network yesterday and here's the question and
Speaker 2: his answer.
Speaker 8: The NFL Transaction Wire had Aaron Donald working out with
Speaker 8: the Rams today, which I.
Speaker 3: Guess did come across as a trial.
Speaker 5: It did come across as tryout that we've ever had.
Speaker 8: Okay, you think you can make the team?
Speaker 3: Nomen, I think you can make the team.
Speaker 8: Got a shot.
Speaker 11: Yeah, that was honestly our way of being able to
Speaker 11: get a workout with him within the you know, parameters
Speaker 11: of what's necessary.
Speaker 3: But give Smith said it's the greatest trout he's ever had.
Speaker 2: All right, it feels like a foregone conclusion that this
Speaker 2: is one of those not a secret anymore. And he's
Speaker 2: working out and appears to be on his time frame,
Speaker 2: which is fine for Sean McVay. That's what he should
Speaker 2: be doing. You come back when you're ready to come back.
Speaker 2: But it feels like Albert Breer, the Monday Morning quarterback,
Speaker 2: brought that up when we talked to him a couple
Speaker 2: of days ago. He was out at Rams camp and
Speaker 2: he said, yes, he thinks he's coming back. Lewis Riddick, ESPN,
Speaker 2: NFL College Football Analyst, you have ESPN NFL Network. They
Speaker 2: will present the Hall of Fame enshrine and ceremony that'll
Speaker 2: be coming up this weekend noon until two thirty Eastern,
Speaker 2: so Lewis will be there with Rich Eisen Hall of
Speaker 2: Famer Kurt Warner. Foregune conclusion, Aaron Donald coming back.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, it is. It's let's just Aaron no one.
Speaker 8: Aaron the way I which is not as well as
Speaker 8: you know. People were obviously around him every single day.
Speaker 8: I mean, Dan, he's he's one of my favorite people,
Speaker 8: let alone favorite players, because he's generous with his time,
Speaker 8: he's honest, he's straightforward. There's no bs with him. There's
Speaker 8: just no there's never been any fluff with Aaron. It's
Speaker 8: just been about this journey that he's on just to
Speaker 8: be great as great as he possibly can be, and
Speaker 8: he talks about it in such a pleasant way when
Speaker 8: you're talking to him, and then when you watch him play,
Speaker 8: you're like, damn, I don't even know that. I think
Speaker 8: that dude's nasty. So for him, like, he doesn't he
Speaker 8: doesn't waste people's time. So if he's gonna come back
Speaker 8: and start and wanted to go through a process to
Speaker 8: where he wanted to see if he could play the
Speaker 8: way he was gonna that he's played before you knew
Speaker 8: he was, he was dead serious about it. And here
Speaker 8: here's the cool thing for me, and I think everyone
Speaker 8: should kind of like take take comfort in this. If
Speaker 8: he's coming back, which he is, then he's pretty damn
Speaker 8: sure that when he comes back, it's going to be
Speaker 8: that same dude or very very very close to it
Speaker 8: that we saw when he left, which basically Aaron was unblockable.
Speaker 8: It's it's as simple as that he was unblockable, and
Speaker 8: that is I mean him and Miles and Kobe Turner
Speaker 8: and Jared Braydon Fisk. I mean, that's geez, that's pretty good, man,
Speaker 8: that's pretty good.
Speaker 2: I'm always fascinated where you meet a boxer and then
Speaker 2: he's different when he gets into the ring, or you know,
Speaker 2: you get a football player and you talk to him
Speaker 2: when he's not in pads, not on a football field,
Speaker 2: and then he goes on the football field and you go,
Speaker 2: damn that, Like Troy Polamalu was that way for me,
Speaker 2: Like you talked to him very spoken, then all of
Speaker 2: a sudden he's out there taking your heads off.
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 2: If there's somebody who comes to mind where you go,
Speaker 2: and maybe it's Aaron Donald where you go that dude
Speaker 2: is different than the dude that I had dinner with
Speaker 2: last night.
Speaker 8: Yeah, no, sure, Aaron is like that, right, you know
Speaker 8: now that he's the closest he fits that description to
Speaker 8: a t. The other guy who was like that was
Speaker 8: an old teammate of mine, Eric Turner, who was a
Speaker 8: safety from UCLA who I played with in Cleveland and
Speaker 8: in Oakland. Et as we called him, was on the
Speaker 8: football field one of the most vicious hitters this game's
Speaker 8: ever seen ever. Eric could unload on. It was unbelievable
Speaker 8: off the field, big giant, wide smile all the time,
Speaker 8: never cursed, never, You just never saw him really in
Speaker 8: a bad mood. And he was. He was Southern California,
Speaker 8: threw and through man, just as cool as can be
Speaker 8: had or to the to the infinity power. I mean,
Speaker 8: he just the guy everybody wanted to be around. But
Speaker 8: just always pleasant man. When he played the game. I've
Speaker 8: never seen a guy play as nasty and as vicious
Speaker 8: as he is. But he still wouldn't curse on the field.
Speaker 8: He would help. He would curse guys out using real
Speaker 8: polite language. And I used to sometimes say, you know,
Speaker 8: I'd be like, what he meant was, that's what he
Speaker 8: meant to say.
Speaker 2: Uh, why are the Arizona Cardinals so bad?
Speaker 8: Yeah? You know, wow, you know, mediocrity on the football
Speaker 8: team kind of like there's a number of different things
Speaker 8: that go into it. It's the it's the combination of leadership, coaching, competency,
Speaker 8: player selection, bad luck as far as injuries, all that
Speaker 8: timing just not coming together. It's not now with with
Speaker 8: with and so we we take you wouldn't have enough
Speaker 8: time to go through all the reasons why Arizona has
Speaker 8: kind of been They've been for a long time, ever
Speaker 8: since you know, Kurt and Larry and then left and
Speaker 8: they lost in the Super Bowl to the Steelers. What
Speaker 8: I do like about them this year, I'm I'm kind
Speaker 8: of high on what's going on there. I really like
Speaker 8: Mike Laflora's system, his background, where he's coming from. I
Speaker 8: really like what they're doing as far as some of
Speaker 8: the people that they brought in and the people that
Speaker 8: were already in place here. Look, they've got they've got size,
Speaker 8: athletic ability on the perimeter. They have got some pretty
Speaker 8: good looking players on this offensive line. A lot of
Speaker 8: the things that are in place that really fit with
Speaker 8: how Mike grew up in this business, the system that
Speaker 8: he's come from. They fit, man, they fit, They really
Speaker 8: really do. It's quarterback, right, We'll see what Carson looks
Speaker 8: like here tonight. Is Jacoby the long term answer?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 8: Is Carson the long term answer? Most people would say no,
Speaker 8: he has a great opportunity here tonight. But wide receivers
Speaker 8: like Mike Wilson, Marvin Harrison Junior, a ton end like
Speaker 8: Trade McBride. Teams would kill for that. Are you kidding?
Speaker 8: Jeremiah Love, James Connor, I mean Tyler Al'sier. Teams will
Speaker 8: kill for that kind of trio in the backfield. Are
Speaker 8: you kidding? Defense?
Speaker 2: Would you have drafted Jeremiah Love if you're Arizona?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I understand it. I mean, okay, so what would
Speaker 8: I have wanted to really address my perimeter pass rush? Yeah?
Speaker 8: I probably would have. I wasn't gonna take Carnell Tatum,
Speaker 8: not gonna take another wide receiver, got that. Would I
Speaker 8: have taken a guy like this simply because he's look,
Speaker 8: the running back, the all around threat at running back
Speaker 8: is back. You need one, just like in fantasy football,
Speaker 8: It's the first position you need to fulfill when you're
Speaker 8: building out your fantasy football roster. It's it's becoming a
Speaker 8: need position. You gotta have position. You gotta have a
Speaker 8: guy that can just break a game open from multiple
Speaker 8: different positions. That's why Bijon got his money, That's why
Speaker 8: Jonathan had his contract redone, and that's why Jamier Gibbs
Speaker 8: is probably about to blow them all out of the
Speaker 8: water because it's just and you know what, Jeremiah's going
Speaker 8: to do the same thing. You know, Mike Lafleur has
Speaker 8: a great plan for him. This is not the same
Speaker 8: Arizona Carlin. I know people go, yeah, right, I'll believe
Speaker 8: that when I see it. I believe it. I believe
Speaker 8: that things are about to turn for this football team.
Speaker 2: Oh well, it doesn't help that you're in a very
Speaker 2: competitive division as well.
Speaker 8: No, yeah, you're right, it doesn't. But you know what,
Speaker 8: you know what, I've had this little burr up my,
Speaker 8: you know what lately about people always using dan the
Speaker 8: past in order to explain their their thought processes about
Speaker 8: what they think the future is going to look like,
Speaker 8: because you know how the league gets. The league can
Speaker 8: turn on you on the heartbeat, a couple good acquisitions,
Speaker 8: a couple of bad breaks, and next thing you know,
Speaker 8: it doesn't really matter what happened in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 8: Like to me right now, it still doesn't matter what
Speaker 8: happened in twenty twenty five. I think teams can turn
Speaker 8: tied very very quickly with a couple key acquisitions, the
Speaker 8: right coaching staff, and we know we see it in
Speaker 8: college football. College football can turn your whole roster over
Speaker 8: in a couple of months and go from worse to first.
Speaker 8: I think, yeah, that division is tough no doubt you already.
Speaker 8: You see what's happened in San Francisco. You see all
Speaker 8: the people on their injury report over. I mean, that's
Speaker 8: just insane. It's nuts. Look, one bad break in Seattle,
Speaker 8: things could turn for them as good as the Rams. Look,
Speaker 8: one bad break, things could turn for the And who know,
Speaker 8: every Bill used to say this all the time, Belichick,
Speaker 8: last year is as soon as your previous season is over,
Speaker 8: it is totally. It does not matter anymore. I don't
Speaker 8: care about the strength of schedule from last year to
Speaker 8: and I personally I really buy into that. That's why
Speaker 8: I'm there's a couple of teams this year. I'm excited
Speaker 8: to see that. People are gonna be like, yeah, right, ever,
Speaker 8: I'm this town. I just think there's a couple of
Speaker 8: teams that are gonna surprise like that.
Speaker 2: Okay, give me a couple of those teams aside from Arizona.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I know, you were like, yeah, well, all right,
Speaker 8: we'll say it then, big mouth. All right, you know what,
Speaker 8: the Saints. The Saints are gonna win the South. They're
Speaker 8: gonna win the South. They have bookend tackles, a stud
Speaker 8: tight end, youth and play making it wide receiver, a
Speaker 8: quarterback who's going to be a star in Tyler Shuck
Speaker 8: death fit running back. They have playmakers in the back end.
Speaker 8: On defense with Brandon Daley, you can hate them all
Speaker 8: you want as a as a head coach out there,
Speaker 8: and you know when he was with the Chargers, he
Speaker 8: is a damn good defensive coordinator. I remember saw McVay
Speaker 8: telling me about him when he had him out there
Speaker 8: and Eli, he said, this guy is a star. This
Speaker 8: guy is a freaking star. When it comes the Saints,
Speaker 8: as that song, as that song says, when they I'm
Speaker 8: running out that of the tunnel down there and that
Speaker 8: the dome, the Saints are coming, They're back. That's gonna
Speaker 8: be a fun team.
Speaker 2: All right. Year three of Jadeen Daniels.
Speaker 8: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: What do you what do you expect?
Speaker 8: I expect Jaden to remind everybody of who he is
Speaker 8: and who he was in twenty twenty four when he
Speaker 8: had the greatest rookie season of a quarterback of all time.
Speaker 8: That's what I expect. Nothing's changed with him. The guy
Speaker 8: is brilliant. He's got great and I mean great ability
Speaker 8: to pass the football, fast, electric, smart, a leader, lifts
Speaker 8: people up, he just all right. So people go, well,
Speaker 8: you see how thin he is, that's why he gets hurt.
Speaker 3: It.
Speaker 8: No, that's not why. It has nothing to do with it.
Speaker 8: He had some bad breaks. It happens. It happens, and
Speaker 8: his football team didn't didn't have a whole lot of
Speaker 8: help around him. Signing Stefan is big. Terry being healthy
Speaker 8: and not coming off a contract negotiation is huge. Antonio
Speaker 8: Williams is a stud continue They drafted out of Clemson
Speaker 8: offensive line running back. They need to make sure that
Speaker 8: those areas are secure. Jadeen Daniels is a top five
Speaker 8: quarterback in the NFL. He is. I don't care what
Speaker 8: you think happened last year. I don't care if you
Speaker 8: think Drake and Caleb have surpassed him. Some people are
Speaker 8: telling me Bo Nicks is better than him. You know what,
Speaker 8: you can think that. Jayden Daniels is about to show
Speaker 8: us all don't forget about me. That's what I really do.
Speaker 2: All right, give me your top five quarterbacks then.
Speaker 8: Oh okay, it's gotta be in some form. Josh Stafford,
Speaker 8: Patrick Joe, Josh Stafford, Patrick Joe, and then Jayden is
Speaker 8: in there. The guys who are buying for five to me,
Speaker 8: are guys like Jayden Jordan Love.
Speaker 2: You're leaving out Lamar Jackson. You're gonna put Daniels over Lamar.
Speaker 8: Okay, Jayden Daniels as far as a passer of the football,
Speaker 8: Wait a minute, you're the better pastor of the football
Speaker 8: than La.
Speaker 2: You're changing no following up.
Speaker 8: Okay, I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what. I'll
Speaker 8: tell you what if you asked me if I'm starting
Speaker 8: a football team today, yeah, I'm starting football team today.
Speaker 8: And you said you have Lamar like right now, right now, Lamar,
Speaker 8: right now, Jaydon Daniels, you're starting a football team. You
Speaker 8: want it. You're looking out three, three to five years.
Speaker 2: Well, no, I get that. But if I said one,
Speaker 2: like one season, let's do one season? Is gonna have it?
Speaker 8: Okay for this year.
Speaker 2: If I said you got Jayden Daniels for this year
Speaker 2: or Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 8: This year, I'm taking Jade Daniels.
Speaker 2: You're stubbing, You're yeah, look I am.
Speaker 8: I kid. You know if you're saying, look, you're taking them.
Speaker 8: They have the same weapons, right, the same team, and
Speaker 8: you're just taking one guy out and putting another guy in. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 8: I believe in him. And that's not me trying to
Speaker 8: make a headline. Dan, that's not me trying to be
Speaker 8: you know, hey, let's stir it up. I love Jayden
Speaker 8: Daniels if I was playing the game, if I was,
Speaker 8: if I was back, if it was nineteen ninety four
Speaker 8: and we're in Cleveland. I just love how this kid
Speaker 8: plays quarterback.
Speaker 7: I really do.
Speaker 8: And I think it's dangerous as hell, it would I
Speaker 8: And I love Lamar I do. And see. I know
Speaker 8: people are gonna say, well, if you pick one you
Speaker 8: hate the other, that's not it. I just love. I
Speaker 8: love this kid.
Speaker 5: I do.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 2: If you could start your team with a Hall of
Speaker 2: Famer first balloon Hall of Famer at any position except quarterback,
Speaker 2: what position would you go with to start with? And
Speaker 2: then who would that player be?
Speaker 8: Oh, it'd be a pass rusher. He'd be the guy
Speaker 8: who could affect the quarterback. And who would it be?
Speaker 8: It'd be Lawrence Tipler. Lawrence Taylor was the most feared
Speaker 8: individual in the sport of football period and the story
Speaker 8: in the history of the game. And I remember when
Speaker 8: I worked in Washington, Donnie Warren, who was part of
Speaker 8: the Halls and part of all you know, looking part
Speaker 8: of the Titan. Then we I used to ask him
Speaker 8: all the time, just give me a I could walk
Speaker 8: into his off and give me an LT star, give
Speaker 8: me an LT store. And then we went and got
Speaker 8: old tape and watched it. It's like the old tech
Speaker 8: mobile game video getting football game when when you used
Speaker 8: to like play with like Bo Jackson, and it was
Speaker 8: unfair because Bo would just run through every one and
Speaker 8: it was like everybody was moving this speed and this
Speaker 8: other guy was just going around like this. That's what
Speaker 8: LT looked like in real life. And I remember meeting
Speaker 8: him when I was a sophomore in college. They they
Speaker 8: used to have joint practices against the Jets at Lehigh
Speaker 8: University here, you know, in northern Pennsylvania, and I remember
Speaker 8: going up there and that's when those were days where
Speaker 8: you had like free access. You'd go down on the field,
Speaker 8: and I remember seeing him coming towards me man and
Speaker 8: I was trying to I was trying to get my
Speaker 8: program out to kind of like so he could sign it,
Speaker 8: and I was so damn nervous and fumbling around with it,
Speaker 8: and he just walked right past me. But I remember
Speaker 8: I used to just watch him and go, and then
Speaker 8: I've watched so much old tape to him. As Donnie
Speaker 8: used to tell me, he was twenty five thirty years
Speaker 8: ahead of his time. And if he came back today
Speaker 8: today the same body, like like nineteen eighty six Lawrence Taylor,
Speaker 8: he would kick the crap out of everybody. Still he
Speaker 8: was that good.
Speaker 2: Have fun at the Hall of Fame ceremonies. They're always
Speaker 2: great to catch up with you. You're in midseason form.
Speaker 2: That's what I love about you.
Speaker 8: You know what that's because man, I'm ready to go.
Speaker 8: Let's get it.
Speaker 2: You want to hit somebody?
Speaker 8: Yeah, all right, I appreciate it, man.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Lewis. That's Lewis Reddick. He covers college football
Speaker 2: in the NFL for the mother Ship and he'll be

Speaker 1: Hey?
Speaker 8: Bud?
Speaker 14: He just wanted to get back away from the sports
Speaker 14: talk again, and let's get back to talking about the
Speaker 14: wedding and the speech. I'm not sure if you know
Speaker 14: all the listeners remember, but I had a question for you.
Speaker 14: You know a lot of famous people. I wanted to know,
Speaker 14: are you going to pull what Todd pulled for his
Speaker 14: bar mitzvah and have a video of all the famous
Speaker 14: people wishing your daughter a you know, a happy wedding
Speaker 14: or are you going to have some stars come in
Speaker 14: and kind of pull a fritzy No.
Speaker 2: No, I told Todd not to reach out to people
Speaker 2: and get videos for his daughter or his son. I said,
Speaker 2: don't do that. He did that, and he he got punished.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I pay the price.
Speaker 2: Yes, you did. Look, I understand why you did it.
Speaker 2: I get it. It was a great moment. But I
Speaker 2: can't be asking guests on this you know, on this show, hey,
Speaker 2: would you do this? I just didn't think that that
Speaker 2: was fair. But no, we're not no cameos, no Sandler,
Speaker 2: no Will Ferrell, nobody. Once again, I am on high alert,
Speaker 2: amber alert of making sure that I get my act
Speaker 2: together here like no jokey stuff. I was told again
Speaker 2: last night because I throw out these wild lines and
Speaker 2: then my wife will go, You're not going to say that.
Speaker 2: I go I'm joking, and she goes, Okay, just don't
Speaker 2: be jokey joking. I said, all right, i won't be jokey. Jokey,
Speaker 2: I'm going to be jokey.
Speaker 3: Yes, Paul Dan, why don't you spend the next couple
Speaker 3: of weekends, or at least this weekend, going to a
Speaker 3: few weddings like a comedian trying out material. Just show
Speaker 3: up at a wedding and riff a little bit. You're
Speaker 3: damn Patrick the lunch in, Paulie.
Speaker 2: I only want to do this, well have to do
Speaker 2: it a couple of times, so I only want to
Speaker 2: do this once for this daughter, and then if the
Speaker 2: other two get married, I'll do it. But let's see
Speaker 2: how this one goes. But you can't go to like,
Speaker 2: you know, the comedy store and say, hey, can I
Speaker 2: get my wedding speech here? Do you mind? Cody in Texas? Hi, Cody,
Speaker 2: what do you have for me?
Speaker 8: Hey? Dan Man?
Speaker 9: So you know the key thing, get to the venue,
Speaker 9: do do a just say it out loud, even if
Speaker 9: you're by yourself, you know, just kind of create a
Speaker 9: little muscle memory and that'll help you know. Tip of
Speaker 9: the emotions I've had to do this for my sister.
Speaker 9: I think what you're missing the focus on man. That walk,
Speaker 9: the walk down the aisle is the killer the speech
Speaker 9: you're going to get through. Man, you're a.
Speaker 8: Professional, You've done this, hear this for a living.
Speaker 9: You're the best at it. That walk, Nothing prepares you
Speaker 9: for that walk.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know that too. Once again, I just don't
Speaker 2: want to make a noise when I'm walking down on
Speaker 2: the aisle. That's it. It's my biggest fear that you
Speaker 2: can hear me crying. Maybe I have them crank up
Speaker 2: the music a little louder Bonly suggested that maybe you know,
Speaker 2: get it up to like a nine or ten there
Speaker 2: and they won't be able to hear me crying.
Speaker 3: Yes, Paul, Yeah, and lou have here comes the bride
Speaker 3: at too. Do Kickstart My Heart by Motley Crue at eight.
Speaker 2: No one's gonna hear anything, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 10: Will you be blubbering for the first time when you
Speaker 10: see your daughter in your wedding dress?
Speaker 8: Now?
Speaker 2: Why why put those kind of thoughts in my head?
Speaker 2: Huh yeah?
Speaker 10: Yeah, But you've been talking about crying, John Cryer the
Speaker 10: entire time, So this is.
Speaker 2: But I'm going to see her in her I'm not
Speaker 2: going to see her, and then we walk down the aisle.
Speaker 2: I want to spend some time with her before what
Speaker 2: todd Are you afraid.
Speaker 6: To like trip on her dress by action or step
Speaker 6: on something that can happen. Yeah, now it's not going
Speaker 6: to happen because I said that, there's no chance that
Speaker 6: could happen.
Speaker 2: Why would you do that? Why would you do that?
Speaker 5: That wasn't cool by man, That's.
Speaker 2: What track that. Who's in the confessional?
Speaker 5: I got a double play.
Speaker 2: Marshall Falk will join us coming up
