Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: It's the final hour on this Tuesday, Dan and the Dan.
Speaker 2: It's Dan Patrick Show. We'll check in with the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 2: Their owner, David Tepper had a press conference. I'm curious
Speaker 2: if he got peppered by the media with questions there
Speaker 2: maybe a Tepper tantrum? Is that right, Tom?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that control is Tepper.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's not do that all right? Carolina Panthers with
Speaker 2: one win? Can we look at their schedule? How can
Speaker 2: they screw this up? For the Bears that they ended
Speaker 2: up winning? Because the over unders, I thought, we're really
Speaker 2: telling this. According to DraftKings today, the over under for
Speaker 2: the Panthers is two and a half. The over under
Speaker 2: for the Patriots is three and a half. Speaking of
Speaker 2: the Patriots, here's Bill Belichick being asked about his future.
Speaker 4: There have been a lot of headlines surrounding your future
Speaker 4: with the organization and even some national media members, Dan
Speaker 4: Orlovsky being one of them, saying that you already have
Speaker 4: another destination set in place for next season. Do you
Speaker 4: have any comments on that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 5: Can you ever imagine yourself coaching anywhere else.
Speaker 2: Stund to the best job I can right now. Obviously
Speaker 2: need to do better.
Speaker 3: Does it frustrate you to hear people say things, but
Speaker 3: you know you still can coach at this level, at
Speaker 3: an extremely high level.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't worry about what everybody else will saying.
Speaker 5: I've heard good. I've at that.
Speaker 2: I don't really care.
Speaker 5: Check his pulse.
Speaker 6: The words are barely getting out of the mouth.
Speaker 2: Check his pulse. Yeah, I'm very good. Huh huh. I
Speaker 2: just see a lot of these media outlets going a
Speaker 2: likely destination for Bill Belichick. Or here's the three places.
Speaker 2: One was the Chargers, one was Washington, one was Dallas.
Speaker 2: We have to put in there. You just do because
Speaker 2: you get clicks, whether it's true or not. But Bill,
Speaker 2: I can't imagine Bill Belichick working for Jerry Jones. Just can't.
Speaker 5: Can't The Charger situation I think would be real.
Speaker 2: But I was looking for the reasons why you know
Speaker 2: you have your franchise quarterback and Justin Herbert And then
Speaker 2: somebody wrote, hey, Hollywood, and I go, the least Hollywood
Speaker 2: coach in the history of coaches is Bill Belichick.
Speaker 5: He's not.
Speaker 2: I can't imagine him going, Hey, there's he's there. I
Speaker 2: don't I don't know the hot spot now in LA.
Speaker 2: But could you imagine that there's a hey, Bill's at
Speaker 2: NOBU in Malibu. He's sitting with the Kardashians.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 6: How about the Carolina Panthers. You have a loud meddling owner.
Speaker 6: You have an untalented team with a young quarterback who's
Speaker 6: not getting any protection, easy transition.
Speaker 2: Well, I think he's got a good owner. I don't
Speaker 2: think that owner should be compared to David Tepper. David
Speaker 2: Tepper is still speaking. He started at ten thirty. Oh boy,
Speaker 2: But the Chargers you got your quarterback. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I just does Bill Bill want to coach again? Do
Speaker 2: you want to go through that? If you know you're
Speaker 2: ceremoniously departing the Patriots? Do you do you want to
Speaker 2: start over at seventy one? And he seems like an
Speaker 2: old seventy one Pete Carroll seems like he's fifty one.
Speaker 5: Yes, Martin, is.
Speaker 3: He one of those guys like, are you when you're
Speaker 3: done coaching?
Speaker 7: All?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 8: What?
Speaker 7: Like?
Speaker 3: What do I do?
Speaker 9: Well?
Speaker 2: I could see him being an assistant coach at the
Speaker 2: Naval Academy coaching lacrosse or coaching. Yes, no, I legit, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I could see him doing something like that. Let me
Speaker 2: look at the Panthers schedule, or maybe a high school team.
Speaker 2: Panthers are at the Buccaneers, then they're at the Ceints
Speaker 2: host Atlanta host the Packers at Jacksonville host Tampa.
Speaker 5: Can they squeeze out two more wins? Three more wins?
Speaker 2: What if the Patriots have the number one overall pick
Speaker 2: and then Caleb Williams goes.
Speaker 5: I think I'm gonna stay at usc.
Speaker 2: Plus.
Speaker 5: Free agents don't want to go to New England.
Speaker 2: The only reason why they went is because they got
Speaker 2: a chance to play for a Super Bowl. In a
Speaker 2: Super Bowl with Tom Brady and Brady not walking through
Speaker 2: that door, why would you go to New England? What
Speaker 2: would be the attraction? I got to play for Bill Belichick?
Speaker 2: So yes, Mark and I love it.
Speaker 3: If you're not from here, oh man. They get to
Speaker 3: play in Boston and not exactly Foxburn, which is close
Speaker 3: to the Rhode.
Speaker 5: Island, Yes, not exactly.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 6: I wonder if having the number one pick of the
Speaker 6: Affle the Patriots would make it more likely or less
Speaker 6: likely they retain Belichick, because that's a franchise changing direction.
Speaker 5: I would move on more so.
Speaker 6: Yes, So like if they have the sixth pick and
Speaker 6: they are out of the Drake may Caleblim sweepstakes, more
Speaker 6: likely sticks, I.
Speaker 5: Would move on. I would move on. I think it's
Speaker 5: I think it's over.
Speaker 2: I think Bill keeps he's coaching against himself, and he
Speaker 2: keeps repeating the same mistakes.
Speaker 9: Here.
Speaker 2: You gotta have that franchise quarterback, and then if you
Speaker 2: have that, then players will want to play with that
Speaker 2: play with the franchise quarterback because you might be playing
Speaker 2: meaningful games. That is as nondescript as any team in
Speaker 2: the NFL. Carolina at least has Rice Young that you're
Speaker 2: curious about, but it's just non descript. And it's because
Speaker 2: of Bill that there's nothing there.
Speaker 3: Yes, mar And I think Robert Kraft in the Patriots
Speaker 3: brass have to do this any most respectful way possible.
Speaker 3: For somebody that's brought you six super Bowl titles. What
Speaker 3: do you think he deserves all the credit or some
Speaker 3: of the credit. They have to do it the most,
Speaker 3: not the Tom Landry Jerry Jones type of way.
Speaker 2: No, And I don't think they'll do it that way.
Speaker 2: I think that'll be a parting of the ways that
Speaker 2: it's mutual. They'll say it's mutual, amicable, all of those things.
Speaker 2: And the question is, does Bill want to, you know,
Speaker 2: start over again at that age. I remember when I
Speaker 2: left ESPN and I was fifty, and I was thinking, God,
Speaker 2: do I want to start over? And you know, I'm
Speaker 2: glad I did. Fifty is nothing seventy one in the NFL.
Speaker 2: And you know, is Bill changing his ways? Is he
Speaker 2: going to change his ways? I don't know.
Speaker 5: I would be surprised if he coaches again.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Sen, I'm gonna be just about fifty when this
Speaker 10: show is over, assuming you make it.
Speaker 2: The fire years, help make it all the almost now,
Speaker 2: let me check DraftKings over under Dan makes it.
Speaker 5: Well lately you've.
Speaker 10: Been saying maybe four day maybe if you go that long,
Speaker 10: because I'm just using your word.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I was talking about I'll be almost fifty
Speaker 2: if I die. Yeah.
Speaker 10: I wasn't referring to your mortality, you weren't. Oh, okay,
Speaker 10: a question for all of us. Yeah, we're day to day.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're all day to day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what are you gonna do with fifty?
Speaker 5: See?
Speaker 2: I have absolutely no idea. It's one of my great fears.
Speaker 2: Does anybody know what they're doing in four years? Assuming
Speaker 2: we all make it four years? I have a plan.
Speaker 10: Oh I don't know if it's gonna actually happen, Okay,
Speaker 10: And none of it involves how I'm going to make money.
Speaker 5: So I'm kind of screwed there, Okay, pretty honest, Marvin,
Speaker 5: do you know what you're gonna do in four years?
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get money somewhere that's.
Speaker 2: Not specific, Lushue and once what don't go back to
Speaker 2: the street, mar Huh what street? Yeah?
Speaker 5: No, I just eac street. Yeah, see me, probably already
Speaker 5: got side gigs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you got your working for the Mothership and NBC.
Speaker 5: You're you've got gigs going on?
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Todd America wants to know what you're doing in four years.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I have this.
Speaker 11: One of my dreams would be to work with my
Speaker 11: son with the Broncos in Denver at the headquarters. They're
Speaker 11: overlooking having a nice window office doing what I have
Speaker 11: no idea, overlooking the Big Horse and the myle Eyeh Stadium,
Speaker 11: working in marketing and promotions or sales, or maybe with
Speaker 11: the something in broadcasting sales.
Speaker 5: Do you have any sales experience?
Speaker 12: Not a lot.
Speaker 2: I also not a lot. What what sales experience do
Speaker 2: you have?
Speaker 3: Selling myself back? There was a couple of months that
Speaker 3: I was it was a hard on cash.
Speaker 2: I don't like to talk about.
Speaker 6: I'm looking at Broncos dot com and there are some
Speaker 6: job openings.
Speaker 9: I think.
Speaker 3: I always like to make a way stuff and things
Speaker 3: like that. Maybe you know charitable.
Speaker 5: Work for Oh I thought you were You're the make
Speaker 5: a wish.
Speaker 11: No, I'm not the big okay, but like you know,
Speaker 11: working with the Broncos or something like that, for doing
Speaker 11: some NXE community work with the team.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: By the way, Scott Fowler, who covers the Panthers, is
Speaker 2: going to join us. He just sent a tweet. I'm
Speaker 2: very unhappy with the Panthers for getting frozen out of
Speaker 2: asking a question at the David Tepper press conference. I
Speaker 2: sat in the front row, raised my hand high, wasn't
Speaker 2: called upon, protested to, no avail. Felt like it was purposeful.
Speaker 2: Scott Fowler will join us? Scout Uh uh yes? Uh?
Speaker 10: Is that just like a bartender looking over at the bar. Yeah,
Speaker 10: Like I'm right right, I've got my money right here?
Speaker 10: Can you just get me a drink please, Or you
Speaker 10: would have a professor teacher. There was always somebody in
Speaker 10: the front row and he or she always knew all
Speaker 10: the answers, and they'd raise their hand all the time,
Speaker 10: and then the teacher would kind of like look around
Speaker 10: their hand trying to find somebody else.
Speaker 2: That was probably Todd who did that. James and Virginia
Speaker 2: joins us on the program.
Speaker 5: Hi, James, I think you're take him on call.
Speaker 9: Brother.
Speaker 13: Happy Tuesday, DP, Dan nets Man, Salute the Commanders, Man.
Speaker 13: I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. I had to
Speaker 13: watch the commanders get busted up by the cowboys. It
Speaker 13: was awesome. I got a couple of things Man honorable
Speaker 13: mentioned mvcns man Buddha and San Francisco. Love the energy
Speaker 13: and Andrew and Washington.
Speaker 14: Man.
Speaker 13: I like how it comes up with the stat of
Speaker 13: the days. Man, they're really cool. Also, Man, the comment
Speaker 13: that Chase Daniel made about Justin Fields, it kind of
Speaker 13: makes a little bit of sense now I'm thinking about it,
Speaker 13: because if they draft Williams are made, they're kind of
Speaker 13: walking into the same situation. If you keep Fields and
Speaker 13: maybe draft Marvin Harrison at one and a left tackle
Speaker 13: at four. Man, now you're building something. Dj Moore, Harrison
Speaker 13: cole Comet looking pretty good. But the main reason I
Speaker 13: called the squid Games, oh man, you said it right, man.
Speaker 13: It is something you can't take your eyes off of
Speaker 13: and it will change you don't watch it around kids.
Speaker 13: But I will say this, man, the challenge has got
Speaker 13: me locked, all right. I even started watching their old
Speaker 13: splay games over because the challenge was so good, because
Speaker 13: there's so many twisty turns that are not in the original,
Speaker 13: and they really put them to the test. Man. So
Speaker 13: I would say, keep watching it, man, you guys keep
Speaker 13: doing your things. Oh and Marvin, you hit all the
Speaker 13: Turkey ones. I would definitely take Greenman passwall Over College,
Speaker 13: and the Mactee has got to be twice baked. Y'all
Speaker 13: have a great day job.
Speaker 2: Alrighty, thank you, James, Thank you. James Man, blackest white
Speaker 2: collar we have.
Speaker 3: He's a blessing.
Speaker 2: Yes he is. Man, He's awesome.
Speaker 3: I said, Oh man, we got two black callers Detroit Davis, Virginia.
Speaker 3: Told my wife that when I was taking calls, I
Speaker 3: was like, oh, this is amazing.
Speaker 5: I'm connecting. I'm connecting with James Man.
Speaker 9: Was up there.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh man, yeah, She's like, you really
Speaker 3: didn't tell him happy Happy Black History, did you? I
Speaker 3: was like, maybe it.
Speaker 2: Was pointed out that Marvin will be in the Yukon
Speaker 2: Husky magazine and it comes out in February.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we have any details on this exposion.
Speaker 3: They're celebrating black voices.
Speaker 2: Yes, Marvin Prince of The Dan Patrick Show, February.
Speaker 3: February, then a whole bunch of other corporations. Oh, we're
Speaker 3: putting up. So we're celebrating black voices all month March first,
Speaker 3: all right, all right? Movie is there.
Speaker 6: A shorter month though?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Movie?
Speaker 3: No micker three week?
Speaker 1: Oh month?
Speaker 3: Oh you said month? All right?
Speaker 5: Brent in Connecticut, Brent.
Speaker 15: Again, everybody you know. While I've been on hold, I
Speaker 15: realized I've been listening to your show since Rob Bibble
Speaker 15: had his crush on the Awesomes.
Speaker 2: Wow, that that's messed up.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 15: Now, before I left from a surgery not proced, a
Speaker 15: tour bus broke down in front of my workplace. I'd
Speaker 15: love to find this group and new gig. I think
Speaker 15: they might be perfect for a halftime show at Crapenberg State.
Speaker 15: They're called the Flying Monkey seezi show.
Speaker 2: Really yeah, they need to leave work.
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 2: Maybe, uh send us a picture of that. By the way,
Speaker 2: I have my Crappensburg State hoodie on today and you
Speaker 2: can have this same hoodie go to Danpatrick dot com. Yeah.
Speaker 10: See, I feel like that was a joke that we're
Speaker 10: not getting.
Speaker 5: Oh, he wasn't being truthful.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 10: I don't know that he was being truthful. I feel
Speaker 10: like that's a joke somewhere. It's like, tell you guys,
Speaker 10: don't get it. It's this nu I mean, I got it.
Speaker 10: I thought that there might have been more to that.
Speaker 3: But I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe not.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't want to go too deep. Paul in California, Hi, Paul,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
Speaker 9: Hey? How you doing great?
Speaker 2: How's everybody great? Paul? I got a little warm.
Speaker 9: And fuzzy plumb on the first time caller, nervous as
Speaker 9: can be in the presence of the greatness.
Speaker 5: All right, let's settle meritzy.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's settle down here, Paul, And you have a
Speaker 2: poem and I do.
Speaker 5: Okay, And what was the show?
Speaker 9: It's uh, yeah, it sure is.
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go here Paul in California with a poem.
Speaker 9: Twas the month before Christmas in the smooth White Patrick House.
Speaker 9: I messed it up already, Let me start it. What's
Speaker 9: the month before Christmas? Ah, that's so, I told you.
Speaker 9: I was nervous, all right. Twas the month before Christmas
Speaker 9: in the smooth White Chocolate House. The moonshine was a
Speaker 9: bruin as the danette scurried about pondering the very best
Speaker 9: gift they could give them to their king. Fritzy's got
Speaker 9: this hands down, dude, Just don't sing, stick to your
Speaker 9: sports in a rhymes and drop into character. It will
Speaker 9: your Mike Tyson Rocks and your doctor Phil Kills all
Speaker 9: music man, Marvin filling them boots and mclev never skipping
Speaker 9: a beat. Oh, the jam is still jelling. Thank you
Speaker 9: Pauline Seaton for years of great laughs, but most mostly
Speaker 9: thank you DP and the entire DP staff.
Speaker 2: Anyways, Happy Holidays, how about that, Paul and Callifornia. I
Speaker 2: liked it. Oh, by the way, the voices with the Simpsons.
Speaker 2: There's an article that they're getting so old that they
Speaker 2: don't sound the way they used to. I think, Uh,
Speaker 2: who is it? Harry Sheer he's eighty eighty and he's
Speaker 2: been the voice of what Bart Simpson. I think he's
Speaker 2: a voice of quite a few. And then the woman
Speaker 2: who is Marge Simpson that she's up there in age two.
Speaker 2: And I'm thinking, Todd, you could be the next voice
Speaker 2: for the Simpsons and you could be Marge Simpson.
Speaker 16: How unfortunate for that person. Maybe there's an opportunity for me. Wait,
Speaker 16: you don't think that's good, Seaton. I think it's incredible.
Speaker 10: I think Todd's going to end up with the fifteen
Speaker 10: acre of state in Malibu in the next five Oh
Speaker 10: my god.
Speaker 2: I think you would be the guy.
Speaker 5: That'd be great.
Speaker 2: That'd be And if you get that job right now,
Speaker 2: I would let you leave and I would have no
Speaker 2: problem with that at all.
Speaker 5: I don't want anybody to lose their job.
Speaker 2: Well, no, I'll take it.
Speaker 5: Yes, but these are people who are, you know, really old. Yah. Yeah,
Speaker 5: but you ever done voice overwork?
Speaker 10: You could bang out five episodes in thirty minutes and
Speaker 10: then that's that's the whole thing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know, didn't have to leave anything.
Speaker 16: You could do that in the same time it takes
Speaker 16: to do the twelve fifteen podcast.
Speaker 2: God could do five episodes of The Simpsons. No, because
Speaker 2: I'm on an episode that comes out. I think it's
Speaker 2: Christmas Eve the Simpsons. And I've had a couple of
Speaker 2: sessions and I only had like four lines, five lines.
Speaker 2: They they want to hear what they want to hear.
Speaker 2: And you know how Fritzy would be with something like that.
Speaker 2: He'd be talking and then hey, can I add no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: do we try if this one.
Speaker 16: I know you guys are great writers, but I think
Speaker 16: it'd be more funny if he did that exactly.
Speaker 2: I remember when I would do ESPN commercials and Kenny
Speaker 2: Maine always always wanted to change the script and that
Speaker 2: people who did those great Sports Center commercials. They said no, no, no,
Speaker 2: this is how we want it. And Kenny would always go, uh, hey,
Speaker 2: I'm about this, and maybe I say this, and I go,
Speaker 2: let's just stick to the script.
Speaker 5: They really have a good track record here.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Paul is getting the one of the original voiceover
Speaker 6: jobs with The Simpsons, the greatest job in history anything,
Speaker 6: if you think about it. I bet the schedule got
Speaker 6: easier and easier by the year, and you got paid
Speaker 6: more and more money by the year. You have job
Speaker 6: security because the show didn't go away, and Harry Shearer,
Speaker 6: the actor and comedian, he almost passed on it because
Speaker 6: he didn't like the idea of doing it in isolation.
Speaker 6: Guess his career salary just with the Simpsons, Harry.
Speaker 5: Sherey one hundred million dollars.
Speaker 6: It's approaching that. They said, it's into them ninety million estimated. Yeah,
Speaker 6: that is just and the work it's less and less
Speaker 6: every year amount of time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, spectacular. Yeah, I'd love to do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 6: Hank's area. Every time he's come in studio, he's always
Speaker 6: in the best mood because he's what you got eighty
Speaker 6: three millions so far.
Speaker 2: Yes, and he should be happy. Yeah. But they're extremely talented.
Speaker 2: I mean, they do a variety of voices there. I
Speaker 2: don't know, it may sound weird to say it, but
Speaker 2: they deserve it. I mean that show's been on for
Speaker 2: how many decades now, late eighties, mid to late eighties
Speaker 2: and unbelievable.
Speaker 5: And still funny.
Speaker 2: Relevant. All right, let me take a break. We're gonna
Speaker 2: check in with Scott Fowler. He raised his hand at
Speaker 2: the David Tepper press conference with the Panthers and nobody
Speaker 2: called on him and he thinks it was on purpose. Well,
Speaker 2: ask Scott what he was going to ask David Tepper
Speaker 2: right after this.

Speaker 2: Sunday Night, Patrick mahomes at Lambeau for the first time
Speaker 2: in his career. Chiefs Battle the Packers Sunday seven Eastern
Speaker 2: on NBC and Peacock. David Tepper, the owner of the
Speaker 2: Carolina Panthers, held a press conference about an hour ago
Speaker 2: and didn't know what he was going to talk about
Speaker 2: other than the firing of Frank Wright and the opportunity
Speaker 2: for the media to be able to talk to him
Speaker 2: as well. Scott Fowler, he was representing the Charlotte Observer
Speaker 2: and he had some questions to ask to David Tepper,
Speaker 2: or at least tried to, and he joins us on
Speaker 2: the program. Scott, let me go back to when Frank
Speaker 2: Reich was fired. What was your reaction to that?
Speaker 12: Well, I guess it had been coming a little bit, Dan,
Speaker 12: only because I've been here since the inception of the
Speaker 12: Panthers and have watched David Tepper work. He is not patient.
Speaker 12: He fired Matt Ruhle med season last year. When Frank
Speaker 12: w Reich started one in ten, it did feel a
Speaker 12: little idemically sore dangling there. I sort of thought he
Speaker 12: would get till the end of the year. He only
Speaker 12: got eleven games in a four year deal, and when
Speaker 12: I spoke with him yesterday, I think the only interview
Speaker 12: he's done so far, he did sound somewhat surprised, but
Speaker 12: he also said he had no hard feelings toward Tepper.
Speaker 5: What was the atmosphere at the press conference today?
Speaker 12: Very tense. You mentioned that I tried to ask some questions,
Speaker 12: and I did. I sat in the front row, raised
Speaker 12: my hand high. Unfortunately, they were calling on people as
Speaker 12: opposed to allowing people to shout out their questions, which
Speaker 12: I'm usually decent at doing, but was never called on.
Speaker 12: I think that was purposeful, for in my opinion, I'd
Speaker 12: written some very critical columns about Dave Tepper over the
Speaker 12: past year or so, and so that did not happen.
Speaker 12: He spoke about thirteen minutes.
Speaker 9: Knowing.
Speaker 12: What did happen was he said the buck stops here.
Speaker 12: He claimed he was a very patient man, however, and
Speaker 12: so that's a clip you probably would like to play
Speaker 12: at some point. But yeah, he said he was extremely
Speaker 12: patient in other parts of his business, and he hoped
Speaker 12: the next guy he hired would be here twenty or
Speaker 12: thirty years and would eventually give the eulogy at Dave
Speaker 12: Tepper's funeral. So he was thinking very far ahead there,
Speaker 12: and you know I struck him a couple of times here,
Speaker 12: but he's got hope that he will get it right
Speaker 12: this time.
Speaker 2: Does he realize he's the problem? No, I don't think so.
Speaker 12: I think you know, as I wrote, I wish he
Speaker 12: would fire himself. And by that I don't mean sell
Speaker 12: the team. I mean just get out of the way,
Speaker 12: you know, don't meddle and allow the football people to
Speaker 12: do their job. And once you hire them, allow them
Speaker 12: some time. You know, if you say Rome's not going
Speaker 12: to be built in a day, don't expect the Colise
Speaker 12: seem to be halfway done after three months. They've got
Speaker 12: a lot of work to do here. And now they
Speaker 12: just took a couple of steps backward.
Speaker 2: And the thing that kept coming up to me and
Speaker 2: trying to find out did Frank Mike really want Bryce
Speaker 2: Young or did he want CJ. Stroud? And the role
Speaker 2: that the owner, the owner always does this, well, owners
Speaker 2: can do this where they bigfoot people who do their
Speaker 2: job the entire year getting ready for the draft. Then
Speaker 2: all of a sudden the owner is going to be
Speaker 2: adamant and say, no, this is the guy I want.
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones famously has done this and other owners. But
Speaker 2: what role do you think that David Tepper played in
Speaker 2: drafting Bryce Young.
Speaker 5: In that case?
Speaker 12: Although there's you know, kind of a myth out there
Speaker 12: that David Tepper overruled everyone and pick Young over CJ. Stroud,
Speaker 12: I'm not sure it's that simple. He did address that
Speaker 12: in the press conference today. Tepper did, and he did
Speaker 12: say that Bryce Young was the preference of every key
Speaker 12: coach and GM and scout in that room, and he
Speaker 12: could have vetoted it, but he did not. He also
Speaker 12: thought Bryce Young was better. Now is that exactly the
Speaker 12: way it went down? I don't know. But Frank Reich
Speaker 12: has never told me in all our conversations that, oh, no,
Speaker 12: I wanted c J. Stroud, even though c J. Stroud's
Speaker 12: kind of a Frank Wright quarterback in terms of poise
Speaker 12: and height and all that. He seemed very sold on
Speaker 12: Bryce Young and remained so even now after you know,
Speaker 12: Bryce Young's lack of development really I think cost him
Speaker 12: his job more than anything else.
Speaker 5: How desirable is this head coaching position?
Speaker 12: Well, Dan put it this way, they're paying the last
Speaker 12: two guys they fired. Frank Reich has a nice consolation
Speaker 12: prize of, you know, of a four year guaranteed contract.
Speaker 12: He coached nine months, so he's got, you know, I
Speaker 12: don't know what it is, twenty five or thirty million
Speaker 12: come in his way if he doesn't get another job.
Speaker 5: Matt Ruhle.
Speaker 12: Of course they're still paying some money too, went to Nebraska,
Speaker 12: but there's some money at stake there, so in that
Speaker 12: way financially, still very desirable. As far as winning, though,
Speaker 12: I mean, my gosh, if you count interim coaches, which
Speaker 12: I do because that's a little more fun. In January,
Speaker 12: they will hire their seventh coach since Tepper took over
Speaker 12: in twenty eighteen. Forehead guys, three interims. Well, he inherited
Speaker 12: Ron Rivera, who you could argue he may he should
Speaker 12: have stuck with maybe the entire time. But in any case,
Speaker 12: this will be It's been a lot. It's been about
Speaker 12: once a year, Dan, that we've been doing this sort
Speaker 12: of thing.
Speaker 5: Are they the second coming of Washington?
Speaker 12: Well, I'll say this for Dave Tepper, he doesn't have
Speaker 12: the Dan Snyder's you know, off baggage baggy exactly. No,
Speaker 12: I mean, I will give temper credit for you know,
Speaker 12: he's changed the stadium around the dynamics of Charlotte. There's
Speaker 12: all kinds of concerts in there, a lot of He's
Speaker 12: a great in charity. It hasn't been the off the
Speaker 12: field baggage, but in terms of results and the spinning
Speaker 12: carousel of coaches, et cetera, it feels a little like that.
Speaker 5: But Okay, he goes he's he grew up a Steeler fan.
Speaker 12: Correct, right, and he was a minority owner there.
Speaker 2: Okay, why wouldn't you model your franchise after the Steelers? Patience,
Speaker 2: get the right guy. They've had what three coaches in
Speaker 2: the last fifty years, right.
Speaker 12: Yeah, Tomlins still never having had He's still looking for
Speaker 12: is Mike Tomlin? I mean he keeps you know, he
Speaker 12: references the Steelers sometimes, but it sort of is a
Speaker 12: hollow reference at these times because you've just you've seen
Speaker 12: this over and over. He also owns the Major League
Speaker 12: soccer team here Dan and has fired two coaches and
Speaker 12: two there. But he is a patient.
Speaker 2: Man, patient man. I'd hate to see if he was
Speaker 2: in patience gott I hope you get to ask what
Speaker 2: was your question that you were going to ask him.
Speaker 12: It was. I was just he was talking a lot
Speaker 12: about self reflection, so I was going to ask him,
Speaker 12: let's self reflect just for a minute. You know, you
Speaker 12: fired the last three coaches you've had. You fired them
Speaker 12: all in mid season, and I just wonder if you
Speaker 12: ever look in a mirror and think, is it me?
Speaker 12: Am I the problem?
Speaker 2: I think he did a really wise thing of not
Speaker 2: calling on you, Scott.
Speaker 5: Maybe, so keep fighting the good fight there, Scott, Thanks
Speaker 5: for joining us.
Speaker 12: Thanks always a pleasure.
Speaker 2: That's Scott found. Been with The Charlotte Observer since nineteen
Speaker 2: ninety four. By the way, my nickname Chris Berman gave
Speaker 2: me the nickname the Charlotte Observer when I first got
Speaker 2: to ESPN because I they had me observe how to
Speaker 2: do Sports Center for three months and Berman goes, it's
Speaker 2: the Charlotte Observer And I.
Speaker 5: Would just be there. I would sit there and go,
Speaker 5: I can do this. This isn't a big deal.
Speaker 6: Like a rookie quarterback waiting for your chance.
Speaker 5: Well, no rookies. They just throw him in there.
Speaker 6: Well like the old days were, like you know, yeah.
Speaker 5: I would have been Steve McNair.
Speaker 2: I would sat for Aaron Rodgers I sat for three
Speaker 2: months watching these guys, and then my wife goes, what
Speaker 2: do you do when you go in there? I go,
Speaker 2: not much, you know, I just kind of I'm in
Speaker 2: there and just observe. That's it. I didn't know what
Speaker 2: I was observing because there's nobody like Berman, so you
Speaker 2: can't be Berman. I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna watch Tim
Speaker 2: Brando or Bob Lee or Tom Mee's Yeah, Paul, Okay.
Speaker 6: In retrospect, I don't know if you've thought about this before.
Speaker 6: Do you think it would have been tougher to do
Speaker 6: that job? Sports Center at the time was very popular
Speaker 6: and you went in onto a show that was already
Speaker 6: very popular and you rose it up. But that three
Speaker 6: months you waited, was that probably a good thing? Or
Speaker 6: if you would have walked in your first weekend and
Speaker 6: started on Monday and on your first show.
Speaker 5: I didn't. I didn't learn anything from observing.
Speaker 6: But you oh, really, do you think it just delayed it?
Speaker 2: Only thing it helped me with is to understand the
Speaker 2: person you might be working with their personality. And the
Speaker 2: first show I did was with Berman, but to be
Speaker 2: around Bob Lee, who I later became a partner with
Speaker 2: on Sports Center or tom Meees there were and the
Speaker 2: people behind the scenes. So it helped me kind of
Speaker 2: get immersed in the ESPN way of like the culture there.
Speaker 2: But as far as being on the air, there's nothing
Speaker 2: that can replicate that. Once you're on live TV there,
Speaker 2: you know, there's nobody there to help you. You're it's
Speaker 2: live go, there's bullets flying around. Yeah, Poem, do you
Speaker 2: remember the.
Speaker 6: First person to use that word immersed? Because when I
Speaker 6: was watching in college, one of you guys, you and
Speaker 6: others would say you were immersed in Sports Center and
Speaker 6: it's snarky. I forget who said that, but it felt
Speaker 6: like a snarky line.
Speaker 5: You were immersed, was it Dave Revsen?
Speaker 6: I don't know, it seems older.
Speaker 5: No, maybe you were immersed in Sports Center.
Speaker 6: Someone used to say that on air.
Speaker 2: A couple of phone calls. Let me see Steven in Alabama.
Speaker 2: Hi Steven, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 12: Hey?
Speaker 13: Dan, how y'all doing great? Six foot three, two thirty one.
Speaker 13: So I got a question for PAULI.
Speaker 14: So my fifty part day is coming up next year
Speaker 14: and I'm doing a dream trip and we're going to
Speaker 14: Chicago's to Wrigley Field, for my first every game in
Speaker 14: Wrigley Field, and then we're headed down to the Field
Speaker 14: of Dreams.
Speaker 15: So I can just go basically see the Field of Dreams.
Speaker 14: But I wanted to know if he had any recommendations,
Speaker 14: like twices to go with Chicago that might not be
Speaker 14: you know, on the on the tour stuff or whatever,
Speaker 14: something he kind of off the beaten paths or anything
Speaker 14: like that.
Speaker 5: All right, Paulie, any advice for Steven and all I can.
Speaker 6: Give him some food tests, but I would actually tell you,
Speaker 6: go to Wrigley Field and then if you can take
Speaker 6: the L train all the way down and go to
Speaker 6: I call it Comiski Park, go to Soxs Park and
Speaker 6: see the two different sides of town and two different ballparks.
Speaker 6: And if you could schedule it, you could see an
Speaker 6: afternoon Cubs game in a late afternoon or nighttime White
Speaker 6: Sox game and see two sides of the city, two
Speaker 6: different ballparks without and you'll spend like ten dollars in
Speaker 6: transportation on the L train.
Speaker 2: It's very cool, and I wouldn't recommend the pizza.
Speaker 6: I would recommend it as a tourist if you haven't
Speaker 6: had great deep dish pizza the locals eat more like
Speaker 6: pub tavern style pizza. They don't eat deep dish regularly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's stuff is just doe.
Speaker 6: It can be.
Speaker 5: It's like, give me thin crust.
Speaker 6: There's a place called Pea Quads near to Paul.
Speaker 5: Top end stuff, but thin crust good to go.
Speaker 6: Most people in Chicago, week to week, year to year,
Speaker 6: eat like the medium, thin crust pizza. It's not the
Speaker 6: deep dish. That's that's for special occasions and for visitors.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yes, you got to get an Italian beef sandwich.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, yeah, Chicago, Yeah, that's true. Forget about the pizza.
Speaker 2: Yeah yes.
Speaker 6: And if you're in a nice neighborhood getting an Italian
Speaker 6: beef sandwich, it go to a different neighborhood. Oh, I'm
Speaker 6: telling you go to the South Side for Italian beef.
Speaker 7: Sound.
Speaker 2: If you can't, how do you know when you're in
Speaker 2: a nice neighborhood or you're not in a nice.
Speaker 6: Marvin Come on, now, that's right. That's very easy if
Speaker 6: you eat your sandwich comfortably and you're not nervous at
Speaker 6: all and go to a different area.
Speaker 2: Okay, Jeff and Syracuse, Hey Jeff, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9: Hey?
Speaker 7: Dan, thanks for taking my call. By the way, wearing
Speaker 7: Krevenford State T shirt today.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 7: Going back to the conversation on Belichick, justin thoughts last questions.
Speaker 7: You got a coach who's going to be next season,
Speaker 7: what's seventy one years old including this season, last three
Speaker 7: out of four seasons, if he's got a losing record,
Speaker 7: reportedly just signed to contract extension last summer. So Kraft
Speaker 7: isn't just gonna probably not going to cut him loose
Speaker 7: and pay him, you know, huge buyout. So that means
Speaker 7: you're looking to trade him an every team. A few
Speaker 7: years ago, Box had the pony up two first and
Speaker 7: two seconds and from cash to get Gruden. What's it
Speaker 7: going to cost to get Belichick and what teams are
Speaker 7: going to be interested? Dan, what do you think?
Speaker 2: Well, you could see Washington ponying up and letting Belichick
Speaker 2: come in and run the organization. I don't know if
Speaker 2: there's a downside to what has happened at Washington and
Speaker 2: then you bring him in. Maybe he could. Now you
Speaker 2: still don't have a franchise quarterback. Sam how is good?
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's a franchise quarterback, and that
Speaker 2: puts Bill back in the same situation. Bill needs to
Speaker 2: have his franchise quarterback all of these coaches do. Sometimes
Speaker 2: you look and you go, how like Mike Tomlin and
Speaker 2: what he's done when he had Trubisky. Now Kenny Pickens
Speaker 2: like Kenny Pickett, but he still keeps them relevant. They're
Speaker 2: not necessarily franchise quarterback, so at least you know, Trubisky wasn't,
Speaker 2: but he got to the playoffs a couple of times.
Speaker 5: There.
Speaker 2: Some of these coaches get more out of their quarterback
Speaker 2: and they aren't franchise quarterbacks. But boy, it certainly does
Speaker 2: help when you don't have to worry about that position
Speaker 2: for the next ten years. But Bill's had to worry
Speaker 2: about that. It's like every series he'll be like, a,
Speaker 2: I don't know, they're gonna put Mic Jones in there.
Speaker 2: He won't even make a decision on who his quarterback
Speaker 2: is this week, as if that's going to do something
Speaker 2: to the team playing them. Wait, is it ZAPPI is
Speaker 2: it Mac? We're gonna have to order our game plan? Hey,
Speaker 2: come on, just name the starter. How about you give
Speaker 2: the starter some confidence. Imagine these two kids, they're like,
Speaker 2: I don't know. They go home and their wife or
Speaker 2: you know their father. It's like, what's the story. I
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 5: Hey, coach, thanks, Hey coach, Hey, who's taking the first
Speaker 5: team reps? You guys are.
Speaker 2: Gonna you guys are gonna split them. That's what you're
Speaker 2: gonna do, all right, last call for phone calls. Paulie
Speaker 2: has a not a dilemma. Well, maybe it's a little dilemma.
Speaker 2: How about a quandary? Is quandary in the definition of
Speaker 2: a dilemma? Could we check that, ton, Since you're the
Speaker 2: smartest guy in the room, at least you tell us
Speaker 2: that graduated second in your class.
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 6: Quandary a state of perplexity or uncertainty over what to
Speaker 6: do in a difficult situation.
Speaker 5: But that's not a dilemma.
Speaker 6: It's similar words dilemma plate.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you do have a dilemma, yeah, slash quander,
Speaker 2: slash opportunity quandary Ishmael, I remember him. He was great
Speaker 2: received as you see what I did with that time?
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you back.
Speaker 1: After this, be sure to catch the live edition of
Speaker 1: The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six
Speaker 1: am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio wapp.
Speaker 2: Last golf for phone calls, what we learned, what's in
Speaker 2: store tomorrow? What are we going to watch tonight too?
Speaker 2: This day in sports history, we'll have that all of
Speaker 2: those items coming up only as a dilemma quandary because
Speaker 2: he saw a piece of sports memorabilia. It's up for auction.
Speaker 2: It is Walter Payton's shoulder pads. Just you saying it
Speaker 2: from the nineteen eighty five eighty six season.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Game U shoulder pads. They would appear to be
Speaker 6: used in the bothy eighty five and eighty six seasons.
Speaker 6: They're on auction right now. A couple different people have
Speaker 6: authenticated them, so they have a little number on them,
Speaker 6: like for written for the number. They appear to be real.
Speaker 6: Let's say they're real. When I saw it, I was
Speaker 6: pretty surprised. I looked into it. I did some research
Speaker 6: and it appears to be the real deal. Game used
Speaker 6: Peyton shoulder pads. Supposedly there's only a couple in existence,
Speaker 6: like two or three in existence.
Speaker 5: So what's the dilemma. What's the quandary?
Speaker 6: I really want to buy these, this is not a
Speaker 6: radio bit, and I'd like to do it, But do
Speaker 6: I do it? And just deal with what happens at home.
Speaker 6: Or do I say to my wife make the whole pitch,
Speaker 6: like this is something I'd really like to own.
Speaker 5: I would run it by my wife.
Speaker 6: But what if she says no, dice, Like I know
Speaker 6: she can't say no no, but like she could highly
Speaker 6: recommend don't buy those.
Speaker 2: I think you should, Like, there's a dollar amount that
Speaker 2: you run by your wife.
Speaker 6: Okay, so let's say that dollar amount hypothetically, Let's.
Speaker 2: Say it's thirty four hundred dollars, so it's Walter's number
Speaker 2: and a couple of heros in there.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 10: See, why don't you just forego any like holiday presents
Speaker 10: or anything and be like, this is the only thing
Speaker 10: that I want.
Speaker 2: I'll do that.
Speaker 6: Wow, I need a sweater.
Speaker 10: If only there was a major holiday coming up with
Speaker 10: people usually exchanged gifts for that, you could possibly parlay
Speaker 10: that into getting these pads.
Speaker 2: But then you might say to your family and your
Speaker 2: two daughters, Hey, in lieu of gifts, I got this
Speaker 2: for everybody, Walter Payton's shoulder pads vacation Yeah, or.
Speaker 6: These past I mean, by the way, you can't put
Speaker 6: them on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're going to stay right there? How much are
Speaker 2: you willing to spend on Walter Payton's game used shoulder pains?
Speaker 6: In all seriousness, yes, I think i'd pay four thousand, right,
Speaker 6: because I've wasted four thousands on really stupid.
Speaker 2: But here's the thing, you are giving that too much attention.
Speaker 2: Therefore more people might bid this up right, And now
Speaker 2: you're your own worst enemy.
Speaker 6: I've actually looped in, son of the great Walter Peyton,
Speaker 6: Jarrett Payton.
Speaker 5: Okay, is this an inside job here?
Speaker 6: No, he didn't know, He did not know about this,
Speaker 6: but he does now he does, and he knows all
Speaker 6: on this topic. So he is going to inquire and
Speaker 6: do some due diligence to make sure they're real on
Speaker 6: my behalf.
Speaker 3: Foury twice to the man in the front.
Speaker 6: But you know, right in the where does it stand now?
Speaker 6: Twenty two hundred dollars four days to go?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 6: But like in the house, right in the when you
Speaker 6: enter a big display.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, or maybe over the door your door, yeah,
Speaker 2: or make it into a mailbox or something. I don't know.
Speaker 2: But what's the most you spent on something I could?
Speaker 2: I usually don't buy memorabilia.
Speaker 6: Sports memorability, like vehicles, are very your your thing. Yes,
Speaker 6: they're kind of my thing too, but I don't really
Speaker 6: do dabble the hat. This is a rare piece of sport.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 2: I did bid on a car, a Portie, and I
Speaker 2: was on I just had my knee replaced, and I
Speaker 2: was on Percoset. And I remember coming downstairs and I said,
Speaker 2: I just bought a car, and my wife goes, what,
Speaker 2: I go, yeah, and I'm on Percoset and she goes, well,
Speaker 2: can you can you turn it back in? I go,
Speaker 2: I don't think so. So I haven't had any surgeries anymore. Uh,
Speaker 2: And and had any purposet either. Paulie, how about you
Speaker 2: take some percoset and then you can I got it out. Yes, honey,
Speaker 2: I was on Percoset for what. I don't know.
Speaker 5: I just was, Yes, Martin, I.
Speaker 3: Have another question concerning Paulie. You didn't ask Paulie what
Speaker 3: he was going to do once the show ended.
Speaker 5: Oh Paulie, what are you going to do in four years?
Speaker 6: Four years from now?
Speaker 9: Uh?
Speaker 6: Not this type of job, but I would say if
Speaker 6: it was in sports, I think I'd like to work
Speaker 6: exclusively covering college football, working in collellege football. The more
Speaker 6: I'm around it and seeing it even after all these changes.
Speaker 6: I just think that's the best sport.
Speaker 5: Would you be an investigative reporter? Yeah, would you be
Speaker 5: like Yahoo's Sports.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know, something related to college football, covering it,
Speaker 6: going to games. I think it's just the best sport.
Speaker 5: Maybe you'd just cover the IVY League. Oh yeah, it'd
Speaker 5: be pretty good.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yes, Seaton, Yeah, Paul, he's a big college football guy.
Speaker 2: That makes sense.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's you love it. You love the atmosphere, it's
Speaker 6: it's going in a different direction.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 5: This day in sports history, PAULI, let's see.
Speaker 6: This day in sports history. Ernie Nevers in nineteen twenty
Speaker 6: nine of the Chicago Cardinals scored forty points in a
Speaker 6: single game. He had six touchdowns and this one just
Speaker 6: because the name. Dippy Evans in nineteen forty eight became
Speaker 6: the first NFL player to score two touchdowns and recovered
Speaker 6: fumbles in a game. Dippy, Dippy. And then guess who
Speaker 6: was on the cover of Sports Illustrated this day. Ironically,
Speaker 6: we're talking Sports Illustrated this day in History. Nineteen seventy seven,
Speaker 6: College basketball secret Weapon Larry Bird.
Speaker 5: Larry Bird on the cover back two cheerleaders.
Speaker 6: YEWS.
Speaker 5: That's right.
Speaker 6: Two thousand and two, Michael Jordan announced he was retiring
Speaker 6: the third and final time.
Speaker 2: I didn't cover the retirement from the from the Wizards.
Speaker 2: I covered from the bulls. I thought that was the original.
Speaker 2: I showed my press pass right there on the door
Speaker 2: that goes to the mailroom. You can see the Jordan
Speaker 2: lamine it there. Yeah, let's go.
Speaker 1: Around the room.
Speaker 5: What we learned in the program? Todd, did you learn
Speaker 5: anything today?
Speaker 1: I did.
Speaker 3: It's legal and all qbs do it.
Speaker 5: But Chase Daniels says the Mississippimu.
Speaker 3: But Tom Brady put on a football was extra shiny.
Speaker 5: All right, see O'Connor.
