Speaker 1: you're watching now, I'm not sure if he can top
Speaker 1: last year. But McLevin is somewhere in the man cave
Speaker 1: getting ready for his big unveiling. Oh I got a
Speaker 1: peak of Okay, is mcleven ready give me a second? Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, you know it's never I don't know if
Speaker 1: anything could top punt passing kick Andy Reid and from
Speaker 1: last year, because that's world famous. And I caught a
Speaker 1: peak of what he's got this year. Yeah, I thought,
Speaker 1: McLevin and that was trending that picture that he had.
Speaker 1: So McLevin, if you if you remember when Andy Reid,
Speaker 1: the Chiefs coach, was in the punt pass and kick competition. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think he's twelve or thirteen, but he looks like,
Speaker 1: you know, he's a grown man. He's about six two,
Speaker 1: probably two twenty and he's standing next to these other kids.
Speaker 1: So mclovin re enacted that last year as his Halloween
Speaker 1: costume with the help of his daughter, and I guess
Speaker 1: mclovin is ready for the big unveiling, the annual Halloween costume.
Speaker 1: Are you the the the Georgia Bulldogs kicker Rodrigo blanket ship?
Speaker 1: Is that right? Okay, you're gonna gonna take off your helmet,
Speaker 1: I think mclovin. I don't think you can get your
Speaker 1: headphones over it, but looks good. Looks good. Thanks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to do this costume. A kicker who
Speaker 1: wears glasses is right up my alley. So Rodrigo Blanketship
Speaker 1: gets the honors this year. I think he's on the
Speaker 1: Colds now. Yeah, he's a rookie on the Cults. He's
Speaker 1: really good. Actually okay, but everyone of course knows him
Speaker 1: is like, wait, is that kick or wearing glasses? Well done, McLevin.
Speaker 1: I've done this, and I do this every year where
Speaker 1: I always think, maybe this is the year I wear
Speaker 1: a costume. What I'm always worried about is something tragic
Speaker 1: happens in sports, and you know you have to react
Speaker 1: to that. You're dressed up as a scarecrow from a
Speaker 1: Wizard of Oz. Yeah, I'm little Bill Pete whatever. Because
Speaker 1: I watched the Today Show and the Today Show every
Speaker 1: year and I keep thinking, I mean, there's something that
Speaker 1: could happen certainly this year, that could you know, And
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you're giving a news update and
Speaker 1: you're dressed like the Mandalorian or whatever. McLevin, Well done,
Speaker 1: the Mandalorian. Very are I'm shocked to hear that reference. No.
Speaker 1: The only reason why I know about the Mandalorian. Is
Speaker 1: I saw Kenny Mayne in one of the commercials or
Speaker 1: promos for it on the Mother's Ship. He's very natural
Speaker 1: and not forced or sponsored. No, no, so pumped though
Speaker 1: you are from Oh my god, absolutely, yeah, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: so good. Who or what is the Mandalorian. It's like
Speaker 1: the bounty hunter from Star Wars. Okay, okay, and you
Speaker 1: know baby Yoda. Yeah, a big character. But how many
Speaker 1: Mandalorians have there been? Like? Do I have to have
Speaker 1: seen one before to understand this one? Well, it's like
Speaker 1: a it was there's a whole first season. Oh, they
Speaker 1: had a series, like they had episodes of the Mandalorian. Right, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: Now you have a movie Carl Weathers, Is it it too?
Speaker 1: Carl Weathers? Okay, famous for Rocky and Happy Gilmore. He's
Speaker 1: a caddy who loses his arm to an allegy. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah I remember that. Yeah, that's true. All right, welcome
Speaker 1: to the program. Um, it's a Friday, and that means
Speaker 1: Fritzie's gonna have his hollow names coming up as well.
Speaker 1: Yest Hunt. Now I'm excited about that. He added some
Speaker 1: you know, in previous years there was a lot of
Speaker 1: the same ones, but we definitely have some new ones.
Speaker 1: We're all looking forward to that. I'm excited about it.
Speaker 1: But you know what, you know, maybe at the end
Speaker 1: of the hour about that, whenever you want, I'd like
Speaker 1: to work that in. We can do that, Yeah, because
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've freshened up the list and you did
Speaker 1: a great job with the guest list today and you
Speaker 1: might be able to kick back a little bit and
Speaker 1: just do your Halloween sports name. That would be nice. Yes.
Speaker 1: This program brought to you by Breeders Cup. On November
Speaker 1: sixth and seventh, the world's best thoroughbreds compete in fourteen
Speaker 1: great races at the Breeders Cup World Championships. Learn more
Speaker 1: at breeders Cup dot com. Size twenty twenty catch all
Speaker 1: the action live on NBC Sports so your headlines. The
Speaker 1: Falcons beat the Panthers. Trevor Lawrence has tested positive mild
Speaker 1: symptoms of the coronavirus. More on that coming up in
Speaker 1: a moment. The White Sox hire Tony LaRussa and the
Speaker 1: Tigers grabbed the former Houston manager A J. Hinch. This weekend,
Speaker 1: It's BC and Clemson. That line has fluctuated. I think
Speaker 1: it's gone down about a touchdown. I think Clemson was
Speaker 1: favored by a little over thirty maybe thirty and a half.
Speaker 1: Now it's down around twenty three and a half. Because
Speaker 1: of the Trevor Lawrence situation. Texas, Oklahoma State, Ohio State,
Speaker 1: and Penn State. Some of the juicier matchups back to
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence because the key is that he could be
Speaker 1: in quarantine for ten days. That's what it's supposed to be.
Speaker 1: Ten days. But when did the ten days start? That's
Speaker 1: the key because the Clemson athletic department, their information is
Speaker 1: that he tested positive on Wednesday. You're tested three times
Speaker 1: during the week. He tested positive on Wednesday. And if
Speaker 1: you do the math with the Notre Dame game on
Speaker 1: Saturday night a week from tomorrow, and I was talking
Speaker 1: to somebody who is a source close to the Notre
Speaker 1: Dame football program who said, we're expecte Trevor Lawrence to
Speaker 1: play in this game. So it's not going to be
Speaker 1: one of those I don't know, who do we prepare for. They're,
Speaker 1: from what I'm told, preparing for Trevor Lawrence. Yes, hunt
Speaker 1: and the rules you got to count ten days from
Speaker 1: the time you start experiencing some type of symptoms from
Speaker 1: what's being reported, So then do you fudge that when
Speaker 1: exactly was that day? We will ten days expire right
Speaker 1: before the Notre Dame game. As I was told by
Speaker 1: a source, Clemson's math will be a little bit different
Speaker 1: than everybody else's math when it comes to this. So
Speaker 1: I'm guessing Trevor probably had some symptoms and then it
Speaker 1: became official on Wednesday. So Tuesday probably had some symptoms mild,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden he tested positive. Yeapo,
Speaker 1: if Clemson were in the SEC, he'd be cleared by
Speaker 1: lunchtime today. Let me tell you something. That's how they roll.
Speaker 1: I don't think he would adjusted positive. I think it
Speaker 1: can happen in that No. Eight seven seven three D
Speaker 1: P show email address DP at dan Patrick dot com,
Speaker 1: Twitter handle a DP show. When you watch the Falcons,
Speaker 1: you can't help but wonder what could have been not
Speaker 1: just the blown Super Bowl lead against the Patriots, but
Speaker 1: one day, Julio Jones is going to be in the
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, Matt Ryan might be in the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame as well, and there's a good chance they're
Speaker 1: not going to have any Super Bowls to show for it.
Speaker 1: But you know, you start to look at this team
Speaker 1: and you go, there's a lot of talent, and there
Speaker 1: is on the offense side of the ball. In fact,
Speaker 1: the former Falcon Tony Gunzalez, who works for Fox, called
Speaker 1: them the best one in six team he'd ever seen.
Speaker 1: Last night, they improved a two and six would win
Speaker 1: against Carolina, and once again they showed they have way
Speaker 1: too much talent to have a losing record. Julio Jones
Speaker 1: looked unstoppable in the first part of the first half
Speaker 1: of the game. Todd Gurley had another touchdown. He's got
Speaker 1: eight rushing touchdowns, and you know, it feels like Matt
Speaker 1: Ryan is playing some of his best football here. It'll
Speaker 1: be interesting to see what they do at the trade deadline.
Speaker 1: There's been all this talk of do you trade Matt Ryan?
Speaker 1: Can you trade Matt Ryan? Do you trade Julio Jones?
Speaker 1: Can you What if you win three or four in
Speaker 1: a row, then what do you do? I think this
Speaker 1: is going to be one of those situations. And we've
Speaker 1: seen this before with teams where they start out slow
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they win just enough
Speaker 1: that takes them out of getting any of these big
Speaker 1: ticket items because if you win a couple more games,
Speaker 1: if you beat Detroit and you beat Dallas, those are
Speaker 1: two games that are almost impossible to lose, and you did,
Speaker 1: then we might be looking at a different team here,
Speaker 1: and then maybe their approach to the trade deadline is different.
Speaker 1: But do you rebuild do your reload in Atlanta? And
Speaker 1: that's a big decision coming up because I do think
Speaker 1: and I thought that they were one of those on
Speaker 1: the periphery playoff teams. I thought that they were on
Speaker 1: that edge off they could make the playoffs. I thought
Speaker 1: they had that much talent, certainly offensively. But we'll talk
Speaker 1: to Matt Ryan Hill join us coming up in a
Speaker 1: little bit. What kind of poll question do you have
Speaker 1: for us? Okay, we were discussing pre show, who would
Speaker 1: rather have as a manager if you're a random team
Speaker 1: right now, Tony LaRussa or A J. Hinch? Wow, So
Speaker 1: I got Tony LaRussa. And now you can't mention his
Speaker 1: name without saying how old he is. He is? So
Speaker 1: he's seventy six. He's a Hall of Famer. I think
Speaker 1: he's got the third most wins in baseball history. He's
Speaker 1: got three World Series championships. AJ Hinch coming off what
Speaker 1: happened with the Astros. He got suspended, paid the price,
Speaker 1: obviously a young much younger guy going to Detroit. You
Speaker 1: know what kind of surprised me is it felt like
Speaker 1: baseball fans were more upset that Tony LaRussa was back
Speaker 1: in baseball than aj Hinch was getting a second chance,
Speaker 1: which I didn't understand because aj Hinch was part of
Speaker 1: a cheating scandal with the Astros. Now I paid his price,
Speaker 1: got suspended, and he'll wear that scarlet letter the rest
Speaker 1: of his coaching managerial career. It felt like, hey, Tony,
Speaker 1: why don't you let a younger guy manage? I don't
Speaker 1: understand the higher by the White Sox. I thought the
Speaker 1: White Sox were a really talented young team. But you know,
Speaker 1: you got Jerry Reinsdorf, the owner of the White Sox,
Speaker 1: who let Tony go back in the eighties, and I
Speaker 1: think he always regretted that. And Tony went to the A's,
Speaker 1: he went to the Cardinals, and here he is going
Speaker 1: to you know, he's a Hall of Famer and now
Speaker 1: you bring him back, which and people are like, oh,
Speaker 1: he's old school, he's not going to embrace analytics. And
Speaker 1: I go wait, wait, wait, are these the same people
Speaker 1: who crushed Kevin Cash of Tampa Bay because he embraced
Speaker 1: analytics and wasn't old school, didn't have that gut feeling
Speaker 1: when he went to the mound to take out Blake SNeW.
Speaker 1: Tony LaRussa is all gut feeling, but he said, I'd
Speaker 1: be crazy not to embrace the analytics. I mean, you
Speaker 1: have the information. It's what you do with the information.
Speaker 1: It happens here every morning, where there's so much information
Speaker 1: I have. It's how do I incorporate that in the show?
Speaker 1: How much do I incorporate? How much do I not?
Speaker 1: How much do I rely on just stats here? Or
Speaker 1: how much is it on opinions? And Tony LaRussa is
Speaker 1: a smart guy. Obviously he'll embrace the analytics. But I
Speaker 1: think when he goes onto the baseball field, he also
Speaker 1: understands I gotta have a feeling for the game when
Speaker 1: I'm watching it. But people were it just felt like
Speaker 1: this reaction was like he's he's old and old school,
Speaker 1: and I go okay, And meanwhile, aj Hinch going to
Speaker 1: the Tigers, Oh okay, yeah, good for him. But back
Speaker 1: to Tony LaRussa, I'm going wait, aj Hinge like, okay,
Speaker 1: everybody's okay now. And plus, you know, a J. Hinch
Speaker 1: going to the Tigers not a lot of coverage. They're
Speaker 1: kind of a you know, average team, below average team.
Speaker 1: The White Sox were a playoff team and they got
Speaker 1: they have a great nucleus there. But I just didn't
Speaker 1: understand the Tony LaRussa. And I'm not an agist. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to go, oh, you can't give him the
Speaker 1: job because he's seventy six. If they want to give
Speaker 1: him the job, great, I just didn't understand it. I thought,
Speaker 1: you know, are you going to go with a younger
Speaker 1: manager there? You got a young team, you know, the
Speaker 1: way baseball is being played managed, you know, do you
Speaker 1: need somebody who was bought into today's style? And that's
Speaker 1: what I thought they were going to do. In fact,
Speaker 1: I thought a J. Hinch might be a guy that
Speaker 1: the White Sox were going to hire. But Tony Larissa's back.
Speaker 1: And then I heard a couple of people on talk
Speaker 1: radio say, well, what if he doesn't do well, you know,
Speaker 1: does that hurt his Hall of Fame resume? And I'm going, no,
Speaker 1: you can't take him out of the Hall of fame
Speaker 1: he's in and maybe he adds to his resume. I
Speaker 1: don't know, but I was just surprised of all the
Speaker 1: people to hire, and you go, you know, we got
Speaker 1: our guy, Tony Larusa. And I remember when you know
Speaker 1: we started, did you just see the name reappear? And
Speaker 1: I go, oh, probably in the front office, because I
Speaker 1: think he worked for the Diamondbacks in the front office.
Speaker 1: And I thought, okay, I get that back with Jerry Reinsdorf,
Speaker 1: White Sox full circle. And then all of a sudden, no,
Speaker 1: he's going to be the manager. Yeah, time, And maybe
Speaker 1: that's just what baseball needs, a different look at things,
Speaker 1: someone that's going to go with their gut and mix
Speaker 1: things up a little bit and not just go by
Speaker 1: what's printed out of some computer. I'm okay with it.
Speaker 1: I like, it didn't offend me, it didn't ruin my day.
Speaker 1: I was just surprised that you have, you know, all this,
Speaker 1: you know, youth in the game and approach to the game,
Speaker 1: and are you know, are you going to stay with that?
Speaker 1: And then you bring in somebody who is in their
Speaker 1: mid seventies, Like how long does he want to manage?
Speaker 1: That was the first thing I thought was, what's the
Speaker 1: what's the big picture here? One year, two years, three years?
Speaker 1: Now do you bring him into groom somebody else to
Speaker 1: take over for him? So I'm not sure. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: a club. I'm still confused. Isn't he the godfather of
Speaker 1: all this? Using the bullpen like crazy, batting a pitcher eighth?
Speaker 1: He used computers early. I thought that Tony helped ruin
Speaker 1: the game because he would always bring in a lefty
Speaker 1: and a versus a lefty and then the right versus.
Speaker 1: He would make all kinds of pitching changes, So I
Speaker 1: didn't I thought he was new school before anybody else was.
Speaker 1: I really thought that. But the reaction is, oh, he's
Speaker 1: not going to embrace analytics Tony. Tony was always called
Speaker 1: a genius. I don't think that was just based off
Speaker 1: of gut, you know, moves that he had on the
Speaker 1: field that he actually knew. He studied all of this stuff.
Speaker 1: But aj Hinge going to the I'm glad that he
Speaker 1: got another opportunity. He did pay a pretty steep price
Speaker 1: there because you know the players, you know, they cooperated.
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball couldn't do anything with the Astros, so
Speaker 1: they had to do something with the manager in the
Speaker 1: GM and AJ paid a price here and now he
Speaker 1: gets a chance to take over the Tigers. Good for him,
Speaker 1: and it's not over for him because he's gonna hear
Speaker 1: about it. You know. If they do well, people are
Speaker 1: gonna go, oh, is he cheating again? If they don't
Speaker 1: do well, then they're gonna, you know, make fun of
Speaker 1: the fact that they need to cheat to win. And
Speaker 1: it's a completely different team with the Tigers. Yes, Paul,
Speaker 1: just to give you an idea, how long it's been
Speaker 1: since he was the manager of the White Sox in
Speaker 1: eighty six, his last year there. The All Star team,
Speaker 1: guys like Dale Murphy, Tony Gwinn, Ozzie Smith, Mike Schmidt,
Speaker 1: Keith nand Is, Gary Carter, Ricky Anderson, Dave Winfield. That's
Speaker 1: that's more than a generation ago. Yeah, I'm okay with it.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, it's amazing how it ruined people. It
Speaker 1: felt like it ruined their day. And the thing is,
Speaker 1: I just going to tell me Tony's just managing. He's
Speaker 1: not playing. You know, he's gonna be in the in
Speaker 1: the in the dugout there, you know, So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: guess that he doesn't exert too much energy and he'll
Speaker 1: just be ending there being a manager. All right, we'll
Speaker 1: come up with a poll question here. Matt Ryan will
Speaker 1: join us. Coming up here shortly and got our meat
Speaker 1: Friday stat of the day, Got to play the day.
Speaker 1: All of that coming up, we'll take a break. It's
Speaker 1: eighteen after the hour. This is the Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeart Radio app. This
Speaker 1: program brought to you by Mercedes AMG. What's the difference
Speaker 1: between an AMG skeptic and an AMG believer? Let's split
Speaker 1: second the time it takes to fire up the ignition,
Speaker 1: step on the gas and hear that gutsy engine roar.
Speaker 1: Go to MBUSA dot com slash AMG Mercedes MG driving Performance.
Speaker 1: He's in his car right now. Matt Ryan, the Elusive
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, deceptively quick, the second greatest running quarterback in
Speaker 1: Falcon's history. Matt Ryan, who joins us on the program. Matt,
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. How did you feel about last
Speaker 1: night's performance? You know what, it was a good win
Speaker 1: for us, particularly the way it happened. I think, you know,
Speaker 1: for our defense, stepping up, getting a stop at the
Speaker 1: end of the game, you know, correcting some of what
Speaker 1: has gone on early in the year. For us to
Speaker 1: get that right was was good. So hopefully can spring
Speaker 1: board us and we can play a really good second
Speaker 1: half of the season. Is your voice horse from last night?
Speaker 1: It's a little bit horse, a little bit of yelling,
Speaker 1: a little bit of just being on the field. I
Speaker 1: usually I typically lose my voice typically the day after
Speaker 1: a game. Have you ever lost it before a game? No?
Speaker 1: Thank god, you know that would be a problem if
Speaker 1: we did. But also you don't have to yell as
Speaker 1: loud because there's no fans. It is. It is kind
Speaker 1: of nice. Going on the road typically be a lot
Speaker 1: worse than this, but going on the road with minimum
Speaker 1: fans now makes it a little bit easier for the communication,
Speaker 1: the cadence, that kind of stuff. That part of it
Speaker 1: has actually been good. How would you describe your touchdown
Speaker 1: run last night? I liked it. I think that was
Speaker 1: the longest touchdown run I've had in my career, so
Speaker 1: for sure the best touchdown I've had. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: was wondering if you're a thousand yard rusher, and you
Speaker 1: blew past that a long time ago. You got thirteen
Speaker 1: hundred yards. I was gonna say, I'm closing in on
Speaker 1: two thousand, two thousand yard rusher here. Do you remember
Speaker 1: when Brady celebrated when he said, I'm a thousand yard
Speaker 1: rusher in my career. Luck, Yeah, he took a little
Speaker 1: longer to get there than I feel. I feel pretty
Speaker 1: good about my accomplishment. How would you recap the first
Speaker 1: eight weeks? It's been wild? Really asked? You know, I've been,
Speaker 1: you know, trying to scratch my head because I don't
Speaker 1: feel like we're two and six, you know, and I
Speaker 1: feel like we've been in every game that we've played.
Speaker 1: We just we've had some crazy losses, and you know,
Speaker 1: that's kind of the silver lining in it too. What
Speaker 1: I tell the guys is that you know, we're right there.
Speaker 1: We've been in every game we've played. There's no reason
Speaker 1: we can't be in every game We're gonna play the
Speaker 1: rest of the year and see what happens. I thought
Speaker 1: you guys were a borderline playoff team plus the extra
Speaker 1: playoff spot. I thought you guys just had way too
Speaker 1: much talent, and then you guys have found creative ways
Speaker 1: to lose games. Like how much do you take upon yourself?
Speaker 1: You know, with these fourth quarter leads that you guys
Speaker 1: have blown. I think Bears and Lions and of course
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Yeah, it's uh, you know, it's it's you.
Speaker 1: I think any competitor takes it on themselves. You look
Speaker 1: at you know what, you know what you could have
Speaker 1: done differently to to ensure the outcome. And you know,
Speaker 1: it's tough because I feel like there's been a lot
Speaker 1: of positives. I really do. I feel like we've done
Speaker 1: a lot of really good things and just had some
Speaker 1: some some really strange ways to to lose games. And
Speaker 1: it's disappointing because we could very easily have three or
Speaker 1: four more wins, and you know we don't. So we've
Speaker 1: we've just got to find a way to get really
Speaker 1: hot here in the second half. Yeah, and if you
Speaker 1: have three more wins than all of a sudden, it's different.
Speaker 1: At the trade deadline, you know, people have talked about
Speaker 1: do they move you, do they move Julio Jones? You know,
Speaker 1: is everybody available at the trade deadline? And I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's still the case, Like, how do you
Speaker 1: process that when you hear it or read it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's I mean, I've never been in this situation before
Speaker 1: in my career. Uh you know, where where your name
Speaker 1: is being tossed around. But you know, I just know
Speaker 1: that if if you're concerned with that, you know, it
Speaker 1: takes away from you being prepared to play last night.
Speaker 1: And so I've always tried to, you know, stay narrow
Speaker 1: focused and focus on, you know, the the opponent that
Speaker 1: we're playing that week, and just dive into that game plan,
Speaker 1: you know. But but also I want to be here.
Speaker 1: There's there's no doubt about that. I've been here my
Speaker 1: entire career. I love this organization, and mister Blank and
Speaker 1: everybody have been incredible to me during my time here.
Speaker 1: So you know, I really want to get this thing
Speaker 1: turned around and find a way to get a championship
Speaker 1: here in Atlanta. And just so you know, in case
Speaker 1: any of this information or whatever is said on radio
Speaker 1: or TV got back to you, I said, if they
Speaker 1: ever moved you, that I thought the forty nine ers
Speaker 1: would be the ideal place so you could you could
Speaker 1: reunite with Kyle Shanhan. So I'm just saying that that
Speaker 1: was just a gut feeling if the Falcons would happen
Speaker 1: to do that, that's where I thought you were going
Speaker 1: to end up. So I didn't have any information obviously,
Speaker 1: I just thought that might be a nice landing spot
Speaker 1: for you. Well, I don't know, you don't have to know.
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to get you
Speaker 1: in trouble or add a quote to it or anything,
Speaker 1: because this was just an opinion I had when I
Speaker 1: was told three weeks ago, Hey, will they look at
Speaker 1: trading Julio or and or you? And then I just
Speaker 1: started to look at locations and I thought maybe that
Speaker 1: would be the place if it happened, So I'd think
Speaker 1: they would be. We were talking about this yesterday, like
Speaker 1: people forget how great Julio Jones is. There's no doubt.
Speaker 1: I mean, he played, he played incredible last night. But um,
Speaker 1: I think he just tied Randy Moss for one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty five yard plus games that he had last night.
Speaker 1: He's unbelievable. There there's no doubt about it. And he's
Speaker 1: just he's such He's such a soft spoken, quiet guy. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, he doesn't create a lot of issues, so
Speaker 1: you don't hear a ton about him, but his production
Speaker 1: is through the roof, and um, you know, people in
Speaker 1: the game, no, uh, he is. He's the best there
Speaker 1: is and historically he's one of the best of all time.
Speaker 1: Plus you got the emergence at Calvin Ridley, who I
Speaker 1: was getting the feeling he might have been neck and
Speaker 1: neck there with Julio or maybe looking at your you know,
Speaker 1: being in the number one receiver there with the Falcons.
Speaker 1: For sure, he's he's definitely, you know, he's a bona
Speaker 1: fide number one in this league. He just happens to
Speaker 1: play to play opposite one of one of the all
Speaker 1: time greats. And so hopefully he's gonna be healthy for us.
Speaker 1: He got nicked up a little bit last night. Hopefully
Speaker 1: he's gonna be fine as we move forward. But he's
Speaker 1: a guy who's who's definitely breaking through, and um, I
Speaker 1: think he's going to be a great player for a
Speaker 1: long time in this league. I since you won last night,
Speaker 1: I can now look back on the game against the
Speaker 1: Lions and we have audio of you telling Todd don't score.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's a tough position. He I don't
Speaker 1: think he was trying to. I think just a pad
Speaker 1: level was low. I mean, he definitely wasn't trying to
Speaker 1: his pad level was low. It's just a tough spot, um,
Speaker 1: you know, And and funny things happen sometimes in sports,
Speaker 1: and that that was definitely a tough way to win.
Speaker 1: But Todd's an amazing teammate. You played awesome for us
Speaker 1: last night, and uh, you know, I've really enjoyed having
Speaker 1: him here this year. Yeah. Not many guys get credit
Speaker 1: for a game losing touchdown, but that's a new stat
Speaker 1: I think that we have. It's a game losing touchdown. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't like those, but I didn't but explain something
Speaker 1: to me. You said, don't score get the first, but
Speaker 1: you already had it was first in goal from the ten,
Speaker 1: so I didn't know, Like what was I missing there
Speaker 1: that you said, don't score get the first? Well, I
Speaker 1: think I only I mean, I didn't see much of it,
Speaker 1: but its chronologically how they splice those things isn't necessarily
Speaker 1: always you know, just accurate. So I mean that might
Speaker 1: have been from a down and distance before. I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure of the exact audio, but um,
Speaker 1: but definitely, you know, just a disappointing way to lose
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. But you know, nice to write
Speaker 1: the ship last night. If your kids come home and
Speaker 1: say they want to dress up as Patrick Mahomes for Halloween,
Speaker 1: get out. What if they say Tom Brady, get out?
Speaker 1: Any other quarterback? How about? Is there any player they
Speaker 1: could dress up that wouldn't be on the falcons? You'd
Speaker 1: be okay with no. Just trust me, those those two
Speaker 1: Patrick mahomes is. We're all fans of him. There there's
Speaker 1: no doubt. So I love both those guys. They're both
Speaker 1: amazing players. Uh, but you know our boys need to
Speaker 1: know where they're loyalty lies. Did you ever? Did you
Speaker 1: ever dress up as an athlete for Halloween? I was
Speaker 1: Eric Lindross one year growing up in Philadelphia. I had
Speaker 1: Eric Lindross on on rollerblades. It was that was a
Speaker 1: pretty good costume for me. Didn't he have a strange number?
Speaker 1: Didn't he like seventy seven or eighty seven something like that?
Speaker 1: He had he had a really high number. Yeah. Hey,
Speaker 1: it's always great to talk to you. Certainly it's a
Speaker 1: little better after a win. But thanks for joining us
Speaker 1: as always, Matt, Thanks, Dan, appreciate you man. All right,
Speaker 1: that's Matt Ryan Falcon's quarterback, big big win last night,
Speaker 1: and a running touchdown there as well. His teammates were
Speaker 1: kind of laughing on the sidelines, and he scored his
Speaker 1: touchdown when they missed the extra point, and I thought, oh,
Speaker 1: they've opened the door for Carolina to come back. And hey,
Speaker 1: a touchdown and two point conversion, and here we go
Speaker 1: again with the Falcons. But you know, you lose to
Speaker 1: the Lions like you can't. It's it's it's really impossible
Speaker 1: to think that this is how you could lose two
Speaker 1: games like that. What happened against Dallas, we may never
Speaker 1: see that again. And then you know what happened with
Speaker 1: Detroit where you say, don't score and they still scored.
Speaker 1: They would be in playoff contention right now. They should
Speaker 1: at least be four and four game out of first place,
Speaker 1: and then you might approach the trade deadline differently. But
Speaker 1: I don't nobody's getting moved here. There's certainly not quarterback
Speaker 1: and Julio Jones that that's not happened. Yeah, when drop
Speaker 1: back quarterbacks run, everyone kind of goes, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: what's happening. There is anyone more like that than Later
Speaker 1: in his career, Peyton Manning. When he would run past
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, it was like seeing a dog
Speaker 1: on its hind legs, Like, what's going on? Why why
Speaker 1: would he do that? You don't do that? And then
Speaker 1: he would slide anytime anyone within his force field area.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anyone more well, he would go
Speaker 1: into a fetal position better than anybody in the history
Speaker 1: of the game. Right, Phil Rivers is like that now
Speaker 1: if he goes runs forward, people freak out. And Brady's
Speaker 1: pretty good at it as well. They do it just
Speaker 1: feels like they're lumbering, you know. Roethlisberger not as much
Speaker 1: like he's not running as much as he just keeps
Speaker 1: the play alive. Eli not a good runner. And then
Speaker 1: when you see it and they're successful, and then you
Speaker 1: go oh, because we haven't seen it before from these guys.
Speaker 1: And Matt Ryan's rushed for thirteen hundred yards in his career,
Speaker 1: but that's the longest touchdown run that he's had. Mcloven,
Speaker 1: you got a pull question. Yeah, I have a question
Speaker 1: about Julio Jones. If you're a Julio, do you want
Speaker 1: to be traded? Uh? Well, where am I being traded too?
Speaker 1: A contender. But also we don't really know. Julio is
Speaker 1: very private, so we're not really sure what his life
Speaker 1: situation is um but I guess he's from the South.
Speaker 1: He played at Alabama in Atlanta. I don't know at
Speaker 1: this stage of his career if he says, because I
Speaker 1: don't think people look at the Falcons and say it's
Speaker 1: a bad organization. You know, they've they've made mistakes during games,
Speaker 1: their coaches have. I think Arthur Blank for the most part,
Speaker 1: seems like he's a generous owner. But I if you
Speaker 1: say to Julio Jones, do you want to go to
Speaker 1: Green Bay, I don't know if he'd say yes. You know,
Speaker 1: how important is it to try to win a Super Bowl?
Speaker 1: I I don't know. He's already going to be a
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. And you know, we don't say, well,
Speaker 1: at wide receiver never won a Super Bowl. It's only
Speaker 1: the quarterback that and the coach that we say that about.
Speaker 1: But I don't know because Julio Jones does. I think
Speaker 1: we've had him on one time and he sent me
Speaker 1: his Alabama he autographed his Alabama helmet and send it
Speaker 1: to the show. But I other than that, I haven't
Speaker 1: had any communication with him. Yeah, the club. I got
Speaker 1: another Trevor Lawrence pole that I can say. No, right,
Speaker 1: we'll save that one. Yeah, I have a lot of
Speaker 1: questions there. By the way, Todd always has his Halloween names,
Speaker 1: and we'll have that for you in about ten minutes
Speaker 1: from now. It's really one of the really solid parts
Speaker 1: of this show. A lot of kids staying home today
Speaker 1: just to hear the Halloween sports related names. True, I think,
Speaker 1: so that's great. Yeah, I didn't know there was to it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, mom and dad let him stay home for
Speaker 1: a little while and then if they get to go
Speaker 1: to school or they have to zoom with class, they
Speaker 1: usually wait until you're done with your name. They'll appreciate
Speaker 1: all the names from like the nineteen seventy eight, these
Speaker 1: eight to ten to twelve year old Yes, because you
Speaker 1: are basically stuck in the eighties. Your entire life is
Speaker 1: stuck in the eighties. Might my shining shirts and I
Speaker 1: was hoping i'd get a little get a kick out
Speaker 1: of it, and even not off ther air, I saw it.
Speaker 1: Pretty creepy shirt. It's like the Twins down the Hall,
Speaker 1: and I got it because it's Halloween tomorrow. It is
Speaker 1: I got it. Looks good. We'll take a break. We
Speaker 1: got our play of the day coming up next, and
Speaker 1: a little bit later on we'll talk to Michael Wilbon
Speaker 1: from Pardon the Interruption. Dave Roberts, the Dodger manager. Chris
Speaker 1: Fowler will join us as well. I got some information,
Speaker 1: some interesting information about Nebraska football and they tried to
Speaker 1: schedule a game with UT Chattanooga and didn't get permission
Speaker 1: from the Big Ten. You might be interested to know
Speaker 1: there were a couple of schools that were supporting Nebraska
Speaker 1: being able to play that game this weekend. Have that
Speaker 1: for you coming up as well, right here in the
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports

Speaker 1: Check this out. There goes Gauge in motion with leaving
Speaker 1: Jones to the right. Matt bails from a pocket to
Speaker 1: his right side, and now he's gonna run with it.
Speaker 1: He'll step inside the five. Did he hit the pile
Speaker 1: off of the touchdown? Looks like he did. And he
Speaker 1: is Matt Ryan in the end zone for the Atlanta
Speaker 1: touchdown on the thirteen yard run. That's courtesy of the

Speaker 1: all the action live on NBC Sports. All right, M
Speaker 1: got a little bit of information yesterday because I was
Speaker 1: curious what was happening with Nebraska. Was Nebraska going to
Speaker 1: be able to schedule a game? I had told you
Speaker 1: once Wisconsin said that they couldn't play against Nebraska this weekend.
Speaker 1: Wisconsin started calling around to see if they could get
Speaker 1: a school that maybe you know, one double A a
Speaker 1: smaller school than they found one in Tennessee Chattanooga who
Speaker 1: was willing to fly to Nebraska. And I think they
Speaker 1: were going to get paid three hundred thousand dollars. And
Speaker 1: then I was told they have to get permission from
Speaker 1: the Big Ten, And I said, well, did they ask
Speaker 1: for permission prior to finding an opponent? And I was
Speaker 1: told no, they didn't. I go. You know, Nebraska's already
Speaker 1: kind of tweaked their noses at the Big Ten earlier
Speaker 1: this year when they sort of decided that they wanted
Speaker 1: to go out and they were going to go rogue
Speaker 1: and just play because Big Ten wasn't going to play.
Speaker 1: This is what I got yesterday. The presidents in the
Speaker 1: Big Ten agreed no non conference games prior to the restart. Here.
Speaker 1: Ohio State in Michigan were for Nebraska of playing because
Speaker 1: they know it could happen to them. They revisit it
Speaker 1: this yesterday, but no traction. Ohio State realizes that if
Speaker 1: they get a game canceled, they still want to be
Speaker 1: able to schedule a game just so they have enough
Speaker 1: games to play in the final four. And Michigan is
Speaker 1: thinking the same way. If Wisconsin can't have all these games,
Speaker 1: Wisconsin's not going to be able to have any thought
Speaker 1: of competing for one of those final four spots. Ohio
Speaker 1: State knows this is really tricky right now. They can't
Speaker 1: afford they can't afford anything to happen where a game
Speaker 1: is canceled and they're not making up these games. So
Speaker 1: Ohio State and Michigan. I don't know if they lobbied
Speaker 1: four Nebraska to be able to play, but they were
Speaker 1: certainly in their favor of or in their corner for
Speaker 1: them to be able to play a football game this
Speaker 1: weekend because they know that that could happen to them.
Speaker 1: Mike Danny is going to be an assistant coach under
Speaker 1: Steve Nash. According to Adrian wid Gnarowski, is that reverse
Speaker 1: do you have that reversed? D'antoni's an assistant coach under
Speaker 1: Steve Nash. Together, Dantoni and Nash were the architects of
Speaker 1: these seven seconds or less offense with the Phoenix Suns
Speaker 1: in the mid two thousands. I don't know what style
Speaker 1: they play because if you bring in Mike and he's
Speaker 1: always been an up tempo coach, but this is a
Speaker 1: little bit different team with the nets, and then what
Speaker 1: style does Steve Nash want to play. I'm assuming that
Speaker 1: they're gonna want to maybe revisit seven seconds or less
Speaker 1: of offense, but I'd have to check in with the
Speaker 1: head coach, Kyrie Irving, to see what kind of style
Speaker 1: the Nets are going to play, and the other head
Speaker 1: coach Kevin Durant. So they have like four sort of
Speaker 1: head coaches there with Brooklyn Nets with D'Antoni, Steve Nash,
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Durant. Yeah, Paul, this would be
Speaker 1: like Mark McGuire getting a manager's job and bringing in
Speaker 1: Tony Laruss as his bench coach. So if McGuire got
Speaker 1: in the White Sox job and then ron Tony LaRussa,
Speaker 1: it's not a bad idea, by the way. Kind of cool.
Speaker 1: All right, we got a pull question, McLevin. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: have a quick follow up on your Big ten thing.
Speaker 1: You said Ohio State and Michigan support Nebraska because they
Speaker 1: want to get enough games to qualify possibly for a
Speaker 1: college football playoff. Yeah, so that's is there a the
Speaker 1: caveat where that's assuming that the Ohio State Michigan game
Speaker 1: is canceled these otherwise like Michigan can't qualify for the
Speaker 1: college football playoff, but if they beat Ohio State. No, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it's like I said, if that game has to be canceled.
Speaker 1: Oh see, it's a joke on Michigan campet Ohio State.
Speaker 1: Oh I was in my serious voice said, Oh, I'm sorry, sorry,
Speaker 1: not used to say something funny. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I'm used to the whole the whole back row,
Speaker 1: not'm saying its yeah, speaking of that. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: it's a tradition unlike any other I don't know how
Speaker 1: many years we've been doing this, fifteen years, but Todd
Speaker 1: every holiday somehow incorporates sports names into the holiday. Yes,
Speaker 1: it used to just be an email that was sent
Speaker 1: yea and what never made it on air for years
Speaker 1: at the Mothership, I did my best to keep it
Speaker 1: off air, right right, You were successful for very Ritzie
Speaker 1: circumvented Paulie and then went right to me. But you
Speaker 1: guys started out sports that a long time ago. Some
Speaker 1: of the people you're not going to be hearing from today,
Speaker 1: and you do the you know, cute little play on
Speaker 1: words name. Yeah, so that was I didn't create this,
Speaker 1: but I figured, you know what, you booked Matt Ryan,
Speaker 1: you booked Michael Wilbon, Chris Fowler's joining us, Dave Roberts
Speaker 1: is joining us. It's pretty solid improving, And I just thought,
Speaker 1: you know what, don't you take the day off and
Speaker 1: let's revisit the Halloween names as we go back to
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen here on the Dan Patrick Show, Mike Myers,
Speaker 1: Lon Krueger, Why Krueger He's still He's not. If you
Speaker 1: can answer where he's coaching right now, you get to
Speaker 1: do this list for the next ten years. He was
Speaker 1: in Chicago for a while, but he to Iowa status
Speaker 1: uping and I thought he would something with Iowa that
Speaker 1: could be wrong. Boo weekly DeAndre Gouldsby. I'm not sure

Speaker 1: with these two Chocolate Thunder that was the Old Right
Speaker 1: Chocolate and the Galloping Ghost that was a nickname. Okay,
Speaker 1: that was twenty seventeen. Do you got an updated list
Speaker 1: or we revisiting? Do you revisit any of these names?
Speaker 1: I have a bunch of names that were some of
Speaker 1: those here with any of those? Like I have new ones?
Speaker 1: How many new ones do you have? I think I
Speaker 1: have like maybe like thirty new ones. Twenty I can
Speaker 1: go quickly with I don't fit through it in one minute?
Speaker 1: Is this Once we get to the end of the hour,
Speaker 1: I'm done for the day with these because I have
Speaker 1: some names. Let's just rip through CMNY again. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: trying to try not to repeat the ones. I just
Speaker 1: if you have a really bad woman, I then I
Speaker 1: cut you off. Okay, Sam, I'm seeing ghosts Darnold. That
Speaker 1: was in a recent year or two when he said
