Speaker 2: The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show, The
Speaker 2: Everything Must Go. It's a spring clearance sale at danpatrick
Speaker 2: dot com. A lot of great items there. Go in
Speaker 2: and pick up a few bargains, and while you're at it,
Speaker 2: sign up for the newsletter. I tried to go the
Speaker 2: entire first hour without talking about Aaron Rodgers, but Seaton
Speaker 2: brought me back and I did talk a little bit
Speaker 2: about it as a possible poll question of well, give
Speaker 2: me the phrasing of the Aaron Rodgers poll question that
Speaker 2: we will go with in.
Speaker 5: Albertinez freezyology, which is more true Aaron Rodgers is holding
Speaker 5: the Steelers hostage, where the Steelers are indecisive about their
Speaker 5: quarterback situation.
Speaker 2: Okay, and I mentioned that. I think Minnesota is holding
Speaker 2: the Steelers hostage because if Minnesota just said we're not
Speaker 2: interested in Aaron Rodgers, then we'd probably have some kind
Speaker 2: of movement here. But Minnesota hasn't said that. Now maybe
Speaker 2: they feel like we don't have to say anything. If
Speaker 2: there's mutual interest then and you want to send a
Speaker 2: message to your team and JJ McCarthy, hey, you're my quarterback,
Speaker 2: he's our quarterback. We're not interested in Aaron Rodgers. Well,
Speaker 2: they are interested in Aaron Rodgers, and therefore Rogers is
Speaker 2: holding up the Pittsburgh Steelers because if it's not Minnesota,
Speaker 2: you would assume that it's going to be Pittsburgh because
Speaker 2: you have a better chance to win if that's important
Speaker 2: to you. Now, he might say, hey, i'll play for
Speaker 2: the Giants. I don't have to leave New York area,
Speaker 2: even though his home is in Malibu. But does he
Speaker 2: want to stick it to the Jets by being good
Speaker 2: for the Giants? Like I don't know motivation. I don't
Speaker 2: have a source with Aaron Rodgers. I usually find out
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers what he's thinking from Pat McAfee's show, But
Speaker 2: then McAfee doesn't know what Aaron Rodgers is thinking right now.
Speaker 2: But we'll talk to Devin mccordy, NBC Sports, former defensive
Speaker 2: back with the Patriots. He'll join us coming up here
Speaker 2: in a little bit. The Vikings were better than they
Speaker 2: thought they were going to be last year. They won
Speaker 2: fourteen games that I think changed their whole sort of
Speaker 2: approach here of Wow, Sam Darnold came in, JJ McCarthy,
Speaker 2: you drafted in first round. Sam played really well until
Speaker 2: he didn't. But now in your mind you're a super
Speaker 2: Bowl contending team and you should think that way. Well,
Speaker 2: that might change your philosophy going into this year because
Speaker 2: as you're going, we got there with Sam Darnold, where
Speaker 2: could we get with Aaron Rodgers. I mean, this is
Speaker 2: what I would be thinking. Now, would I want to
Speaker 2: bring him in? If I'm the Vikings, I'm about winning now.
Speaker 2: I don't think Aaron is going to bring the Aaron
Speaker 2: Rodgers world to Minnesota. You know, he's not bringing in
Speaker 2: his buddies. And you got a really good head coach.
Speaker 2: You've got a couple of really good wide receivers, defense
Speaker 2: is really good defensive coordinator. Okay, now we got a
Speaker 2: chance here to maybe we get past Detroit or Washington
Speaker 2: or Philadelphia. This is a chance, and this is a
Speaker 2: franchise that's never won a Super Bowl. You got pieces there,
Speaker 2: and it's tricky with a guy his age coming off
Speaker 2: the Achilles surgery two years ago? Do you want to
Speaker 2: go all in for one year? Rogers reportedly wants to
Speaker 2: years now. Do you have a Jordan Loves situation with
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy with waiting for Aaron Rodgers to pass the baton?
Speaker 2: If I'm Minnesota, I entertain it. I do because I
Speaker 2: don't know if JJ McCarthy's healthy right now. But they've
Speaker 2: let three quarterbacks go. I thought they were going to
Speaker 2: keep Daniel Jones. I thought that made the most sense
Speaker 2: that he can play. He can play at a decent
Speaker 2: level until JJ McCarthy's ready to play. But let's factor
Speaker 2: in that he did have knee surgery that kept him out.
Speaker 2: He didn't take one snap. Aaron Rodgers does still give
Speaker 2: you that potential to put a threat out there on
Speaker 2: the field that you can make people nervous with Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 2: Sam Donald, did he make you nervous? Probably not? But
Speaker 2: Rogers and look, Sam Darnold is not Lamar Jackson. Back there,
Speaker 2: It was not like you go, well, Aaron's not going
Speaker 2: to be able to do what Sam did. He should
Speaker 2: be able to and then some so I would take it.
Speaker 2: I mean, what's the downside that you hand it over
Speaker 2: for one year and whatever, you end up with eleven
Speaker 2: wins and you lose in the first round of the playoffs, Okay,
Speaker 2: and then you put in JJ McCarthy. But I just
Speaker 2: believe in winning now. Washington is trying to win. Now,
Speaker 2: Philadelphia's winning now. San Francisco had their opportunity two Super
Speaker 2: Bowls in six years.
Speaker 3: They tried to win. Now.
Speaker 2: There's certain franchises that keep sort of waiting, you know,
Speaker 2: the Chiefs win. Now, Let's get guys you know that
Speaker 2: are going to come in and play right now, we
Speaker 2: can win. Kelsey comes back one more year. Let's strengthen
Speaker 2: the offensive line. We'll get a couple of receivers in here,
Speaker 2: we'll plug in play win.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: This is your opportunity. And if I'm Minnesota, I roll
Speaker 2: the dice on it. I do seven to seven three
Speaker 2: DP show email address DP at dan Patrick dot com,
Speaker 2: Twitter handle at tp show. Also the Russell Wilson situation,
Speaker 2: because if you're Russ, if I was Cleveland, I wouldn't
Speaker 2: let him out of the building. I'd just say, what's
Speaker 2: it going to take. We want you to be our quarterback,
Speaker 2: give us some stability here for a couple of years.
Speaker 2: How about we have a quarterback that nobody's going to
Speaker 2: say negative things about unless it's his performance. But we
Speaker 2: can bring him in now. I still would kick the
Speaker 2: tires on Kirk Cousins. I would still say to Atlanta,
Speaker 2: what would it take for us to get Kirk Cousins,
Speaker 2: because Cousins would be an upgrade over Russell Wilson. But
Speaker 2: if you're the Steelers, all right, you got Mason Rudolph
Speaker 2: right now. If that's the answer, you don't like the question,
Speaker 2: and you're waiting for Aaron Rodgers, well are you going
Speaker 2: to bring Russ back? What if Russ signs with the
Speaker 2: Giants or the Browns and you're waiting for Aaron Rodgers, Like,
Speaker 2: how long do you wait? If I'm the Steelers, I
Speaker 2: just say we're the Steelers today, at the end of
Speaker 2: business hours today, we have to have a decision. And
Speaker 2: if not, you know, if he can't come up with
Speaker 2: a decision, then you say, Russ, you're our guy. If
Speaker 2: Russ still wants to do it. He might be like,
Speaker 2: I'm not waiting around for you. I could go to
Speaker 2: Cleveland maybe the Giants. Giants could still take a quarterback,
Speaker 2: but Russ might be that bridge quarterback.
Speaker 6: Yes, Marvin, if you're a Steelers fan, do you really
Speaker 6: want Aaron Rodgers? Because you saw what just happened in
Speaker 6: New York. The Jets won seven games without Aaron Rodgers. So,
Speaker 6: like you said before the beginning of last season, you're like, look,
Speaker 6: if they want seven games without him, what do they
Speaker 6: do with him? And now you're just getting an old
Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers and not the old Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2: Well, as long as he knows what he can and
Speaker 2: can't do, because he was very mobile, great footwork, now
Speaker 2: not so much. And now can he be still a
Speaker 2: great quarterback in the pocket? That would be what I'm
Speaker 2: curious about. Alice in Pittsburgh, Hi Alice, what's on your
Speaker 2: mind today?
Speaker 7: Hi?
Speaker 8: Dan, I've never called your show before. I'm a nurse
Speaker 8: and I work.
Speaker 3: Talking about Aaron Rodgers. Alice Alis, it's not going well here?
Speaker 2: Do you have like your radio on or it feels
Speaker 2: like I'm competing with something?
Speaker 3: All right, let's try it again.
Speaker 8: Okay, I'm sorry about that.
Speaker 3: Turned down your radio? Turned down your radio? Okay, Okay,
Speaker 3: that better.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think I'm I'm driving to work right now.
Speaker 8: I'm a nurse and I work weird hours, so I
Speaker 8: usually call the guys the odd couple in the evening.
Speaker 8: But Aaron Rodgers, you know, the general consensus here in
Speaker 8: Pittsburgh is we don't want Aaron Rodgers at this point.
Speaker 8: I'd rather have Jameis Winston. They should just keep us,
Speaker 8: I think for a year at least. It's consistent. He's
Speaker 8: been there. It's a joke. They spend one hundred and
Speaker 8: fifty million dollars on DK. We don't have anybody that's
Speaker 8: throwing the ball. And I don't know how you feel
Speaker 8: about the quarterback situation here, but people in Pittsburgh are
Speaker 8: like disgusted with it already.
Speaker 2: But Alic's and they've been disgusted with this for a
Speaker 2: long long time. Is it because you just don't like
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 8: I just I don't know. I mean, this is the
Speaker 8: old this is old, Like you guys said, it's old
Speaker 8: Aaron Rodgers. It's not what he was, you know, ten
Speaker 8: years ago, even five years ago, and he never came
Speaker 8: back from his achilles that well, and I just don't
Speaker 8: trust him. I think he'll get part way through the
Speaker 8: season and want to go off and meditate and drink
Speaker 8: ayahuasca or something. He just is I don't think we
Speaker 8: need crazy. We had enough crazy over the years here.
Speaker 8: I just wish we could get a decent quarterback again.
Speaker 8: And it's just it's really frustrating. What's left out there
Speaker 8: right now is not you know, we've got Mason Rudolph
Speaker 8: for two more years, and Mason is okay. I mean
Speaker 8: we had him as a backup. That's not our answer.
Speaker 8: And I don't know what it is. It's tanking maybe
Speaker 8: this year.
Speaker 2: No, they won't tank, thank you, Alice, because Mike Tomlin
Speaker 2: has the street. He always has a winning record. Pittsburgh
Speaker 2: is not going to tank. No, that doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 2: I mean, you got a lot of money type. You
Speaker 2: just spend all that money on DK Metcalf, you spent
Speaker 2: that money on TJ.
Speaker 3: Watt. I mean, you got you got money big ticket
Speaker 3: items here.
Speaker 2: It's just it's it's strange to see one of the
Speaker 2: great franchises be kind of in limbo here. I don't
Speaker 2: want to say held hostage, but I would just give
Speaker 2: an ultimatum. You're the Steelers. He's an old Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2: Does he help us? Is he a higher ceiling than Ross?
Speaker 3: Yes? I would have kept Justin.
Speaker 2: Fields, Okay, I would have take taken Justin Fields back.
Speaker 3: Jets gave him a nice offer.
Speaker 2: But if you're going to make him your starting quarterback,
Speaker 2: then you give him twenty minute.
Speaker 3: When did he sign for two years for forty million?
Speaker 3: That's nothing? All right? Put him in.
Speaker 2: He did okay last year to start the season. But
Speaker 2: if you're waiting around for Aaron, like, how is Aaron
Speaker 2: and Mike Tomlin gonna get along? How's that done? How's
Speaker 2: George Pickens with Aaron Rodgers? I don't know Minnesota. I
Speaker 2: get Pittsburgh. Their offensive philosophy has not been very good
Speaker 2: the last few years. But if you want to bring
Speaker 2: him in great Minnesota, I get it. The Giants. You
Speaker 2: got to have somebody playing quarterback. I guess, but I
Speaker 2: only I mean somebody was saying, don't rule out retirement. Okay,
Speaker 2: I won't rule out retirement. I don't want to be
Speaker 2: held hostage by Aaron Rodgers where I have to dedicate
Speaker 2: so much time on this show to Aaron Rodgers. You know,
Speaker 2: let's can we play the Aaron Rodgers game. Paulie of
Speaker 2: I told, yeah, now, okay, we have a couple of
Speaker 2: NFL guests and I will talk about Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 9: Here we go, Dann, Let's pull the band aid. When
Speaker 9: we show up to work on Monday, Aaron Rodgers will
Speaker 9: be dot dot dot.
Speaker 4: I'll go first.
Speaker 9: Just as the entertainment value, I'm going with the.
Speaker 10: Vikings Todd a Pittsburgh Steeler Seaton.
Speaker 3: Nowhere, Oh, Marvin.
Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers will be on your last nerve more specific,
Speaker 6: please nowhere.
Speaker 3: I'm going to say nowhere.
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna still be walking the beach in Malibu,
Speaker 2: searching for some signal, some sign.
Speaker 5: I'm not going to let anyone force my timeline and
Speaker 5: my decision.
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm doing ayahuasca right now, just like,
Speaker 2: just put me out of my misery.
Speaker 3: Here. I know I'm supposed to cover. And here's part
Speaker 3: of the problem. I'm not going to.
Speaker 2: Blame Aaron Rodgers for all of this. It's the media
Speaker 2: that's obsessed with Aaron Rodgers, all right, obsessed shows that
Speaker 2: you know they they'll lead with the Aaron Rodgers topic.
Speaker 2: And there's no there's no news. There's nothing, there's no reporting,
Speaker 2: there's no news. You'll get the you know air, you'll
Speaker 2: get Adam Schefter going, oh, I'm exhausted.
Speaker 3: No, this is your job, Adam. You cover this.
Speaker 2: It's not my job to cover it because there's nothing
Speaker 2: to cover right now.
Speaker 3: Yes, he he is.
Speaker 5: One of the greatest quarterbacks of this era generation, possibly
Speaker 5: the most talented ever to play the position. Is that
Speaker 5: not somebody worth covering?
Speaker 3: Well, we don't have any news.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but like ninety percent of this industry is speculation.
Speaker 2: I know, Like, but I don't want to be ninety
Speaker 2: percent of this. I mean we've speculated.
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I mean like the job itself is speculation.
Speaker 5: Like we talked the draft, that's all speculation. We talk
Speaker 5: about everything. Everything is all speculation. What's Russell Wilson gonna do?
Speaker 5: It's all speculation.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But for Adam Schefter to say he's exhausted over this, like,
Speaker 2: that's your job.
Speaker 3: That's what you do. You cover hunt a hunt two
Speaker 3: cell phones? Yeah, neither of them ringing, Yes, Pauling.
Speaker 9: I do think the Vikings angle is interesting because the
Speaker 9: Vikings are in this weird position where they want to
Speaker 9: compete now, and the guy who helped them get in
Speaker 9: this position, Sam Darld. They didn't keep and they could
Speaker 9: have probably, but they would have kept him too long.
Speaker 9: It's just and very It's a good awkward quarterback situation.
Speaker 2: But if you're gonna know, Okay, I don't have any
Speaker 2: My speculation is I don't have any.
Speaker 3: I'm speculating that I don't have any speculation.
Speaker 5: Yes, is Aaron Rodgers really going to go from the
Speaker 5: As to the Jets to the Vikings? Yeah, I mean
Speaker 5: we've seen that story play out before. Yeah, but I
Speaker 5: don't think this is a revenge tour. It's not a
Speaker 5: revenge tour. But I don't think he wanted so desperately
Speaker 5: to get out of Brett Farre's shadow that he's gonna
Speaker 5: follow his career path almost exactly. How weird is that?
Speaker 5: I would love it. I mean, I'm just looking for
Speaker 5: content here. No matter where he goes. He goes to
Speaker 5: the Giants, great, there's some content there. He goes, you know,
Speaker 5: to Pittsburgh if he retires man, certainly, if he goes
Speaker 5: to the Vikings, that's juicy as well.
Speaker 9: Yes, Pa, I hope he doesn't follow everything Brett Favre
Speaker 9: did wow just.
Speaker 3: Wow wow to be said.
Speaker 2: Yeah, raising money for col volleyball not no specifics, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 3: Sorry.
Speaker 6: One last question. If Aaron Rodgers goes to the Vikings,
Speaker 6: do you have him as a like real Super Bowl contender?
Speaker 3: Sure?
Speaker 6: Like legit up there with the Lions and the Eagles
Speaker 6: like that level.
Speaker 3: Sure.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm the knucklehead who had the Jets going to
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. Of course I'm gonna have Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2: I'm doubled down. I'm gonna double down here on Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2: Devin mccordy, former Patriot defensive back, won a couple of
Speaker 2: Super Bowls. He'll join us next here on the Dan

Speaker 2: on peacock, Thank you for downloading the app and our
Speaker 2: radio affiliates around the country. DeMarcus Lawrence was with the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: He went to Seattle, and he was pretty blunt in
Speaker 2: what he said about leaving the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Sang's a scenery is always good, you know, But Dallas
Speaker 1: is my home.
Speaker 3: Nae mahome there.
Speaker 4: You know, my family lives there.
Speaker 1: If I've ever going to beat it, but I know
Speaker 1: for sure I'm not gonna win a Super Bowl there.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's right to the point there. He knew what
Speaker 2: he was saying there. Devin mccordy, NBC Football Night in
Speaker 2: America's studio analyst, three times Super Bowl champ with the Patriot,
Speaker 2: What did you make of DeMarcus Lawrence.
Speaker 4: It's funny. I think sometimes we forget when he said
Speaker 4: that Dallas is home, you expect to be back in Dallas.
Speaker 4: And I know him and Michael Parsons went back and
Speaker 4: forth on Twitter, but the truth is he's pissed Dallas
Speaker 4: didn't offer him the money he thought he would get.
Speaker 4: Seattle did so. Now, probably all of the feelings that
Speaker 4: I think a lot of those guys in Dallas probably
Speaker 4: have is we know we're not winning. We got so
Speaker 4: much other chaos going on around here. Now I'm gone,
Speaker 4: I'm about to aer it out him gonna say how
Speaker 4: I feel. So it's understandable. And you know, he got
Speaker 4: to Seattle, and I'm sure that reporter was sitting there thinking,
Speaker 4: we're gonna have a friendly conversation. We're gonna talk about
Speaker 4: Seattle and what's next, and he's a hold on, let
Speaker 4: me let me tell make a shot at my ex
Speaker 4: real quick and then we can move on.
Speaker 2: But would he have had a different answer if he
Speaker 2: was staying in Dallas and they did offer him the money,
Speaker 2: you know, in a contract to stay there. What he
Speaker 2: have said, We're not going to win a super Bowl,
Speaker 2: but hey, it's my home and I'm coming back.
Speaker 4: No, he's been telling us how they plan on winning
Speaker 4: a super Bowl, of course, and then we'd be talking
Speaker 4: about they got no shot to win a super Bowl,
Speaker 4: but they believe they do. So yeah, I mean that's
Speaker 4: how players are. You're always happy in that new place.
Speaker 4: March April. We don't know if it's real until probably,
Speaker 4: I will say, early November to late November of if
Speaker 4: this marriage really works.
Speaker 2: But you won three super Bowls when with the Patriots,
Speaker 2: When did you think you were going to win another
Speaker 2: Super Bowl?
Speaker 4: We thought every year, I mean every year we got
Speaker 4: started it was it was how to win a super Bowl.
Speaker 4: You know, eight out of my first ten years we
Speaker 4: were in the super Bowl or in the AFC Championship
Speaker 4: all like every year. So but I think it's different.
Speaker 4: I think Dallas doesn't truly care if they're enner super Bowl.
Speaker 4: They care about being talked about on TV or how
Speaker 4: we're talking about them today, Like that's what's important in Dallas,
Speaker 4: I think from the top down. So they don't they
Speaker 4: don't have that. They don't care to bring in the
Speaker 4: right guys that are lead to super Bowls or lead
Speaker 4: to championships. They want the guys that are going to
Speaker 4: be talked about. I think that's important to them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I find that fascinating. But it says a lot
Speaker 2: about Jerry Jones that you get caught up in fame.
Speaker 2: You get caught up in people wanting to interview you
Speaker 2: and really losing sight of what made you famous, why
Speaker 2: people wanted to talk to you, and that you won
Speaker 2: three super Bowls. But that's such a long I mean,
Speaker 2: that's a generation ago. But I don't know why you
Speaker 2: would be so addicted to fame, realizing the fame you
Speaker 2: get if you run your team the way you should
Speaker 2: run your team. They don't spend money in free agency.
Speaker 2: They do rely on the draft. They've been fortunate with
Speaker 2: a couple of draft picks, including Dak Prescott. But I
Speaker 2: mean they're just Nobody has accomplished less while getting more
Speaker 2: attention than the Dallas Cowboys, right, And it's.
Speaker 4: Ridiculous because you just said it. They dropped this Ceedee Lamb,
Speaker 4: Micah Parson, Dak Presley. Think about these guys. They've driven,
Speaker 4: but they haven't decided to say, hey, how do we
Speaker 4: keep veterans and bring veterans in that show these guys
Speaker 4: what it looks like to win year after year. And
Speaker 4: I always you know, I'm in studio every Sunday night
Speaker 4: with Jason Garrett and if the Cowboys lose and I
Speaker 4: see Jerry Jones having this media scrum, and I would
Speaker 4: look at Jason, like, how do you, as a head
Speaker 4: coach come back to your team on Monday and address
Speaker 4: the game or whatever happened when the owner Slash GM
Speaker 4: just said whatever he had to say to everybody that
Speaker 4: we probably didn't want to talk about. And he would
Speaker 4: talk to me. He was talking to me about trying
Speaker 4: to keep the focus on the guys in the locker
Speaker 4: room of controlling what you can control, and think about
Speaker 4: that as a head coach. If you're the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 4: head coach, you're trying to talk about controlling the things
Speaker 4: that you can control when it's kind of like the
Speaker 4: thing you can't control as your owner who runs everything
Speaker 4: like that, that'll never.
Speaker 2: Work if you were on the Vikings. Let's say you're
Speaker 2: one of the veterans on the Vikings. Let's say coach
Speaker 2: front office comes to you, guys and says, what do
Speaker 2: you think about bringing in Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 3: Your response would be what.
Speaker 4: The plan? Like, what is this the guy that's going
Speaker 4: to take us to the Super Bowl? And then my
Speaker 4: next question would be what does that do for the
Speaker 4: development of JJ McCarthy. Do we believe that this guy
Speaker 4: can come in and give us the best chance to
Speaker 4: win the Super Bowl this year? Okay? If we say that,
Speaker 4: then does this help JJ McCarthy get better? Does this
Speaker 4: make him worse? And I would say depending on what
Speaker 4: we ever see from Zach Wilson, but an all indication,
Speaker 4: the guy that went down and played in Denver last
Speaker 4: year seem like a better player than he was on
Speaker 4: the Jets. He talked about the impact Aaron Rodgers had him.
Speaker 4: I think we live in a world we always tall
Speaker 4: about Aaron Rodgers from the media standpoint of like somebody says,
Speaker 4: I talk to his people and they say this and that.
Speaker 4: But it always seems like some of the direct comments
Speaker 4: from players like Zach Wilson is the guy was great
Speaker 4: for me.
Speaker 3: He helped me.
Speaker 4: So to me, if you think that's the case for me,
Speaker 4: I would rather see JJ McCarthy get to start in Minnesota.
Speaker 4: Let him go lead that team. But if Kevin O'Connell
Speaker 4: and Quassi and those guys felt like Aaron Rodgers was it,
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be angry at that.
Speaker 2: Jevin mccordy, he's an analyst for a football night in America,
Speaker 2: three times Super Bowl champ with the Patriots. Cooper Cup,
Speaker 2: you want to talk about, Well, that was quick. All
Speaker 2: of a sudden, it's like, can we get a trade partner?
Speaker 2: I know he's making too much money for the production
Speaker 2: or lack thereof. Where do you see Cooper Cup? What
Speaker 2: kind of receiver is Cooper Cup?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 4: I would love to see Cooper Cup for the New
Speaker 4: England Patriots. Maybe I'm a little biased. I would like
Speaker 4: to see him there. I think he's a guy that
Speaker 4: he's not the same. He doesn't have the same ability
Speaker 4: and quickness I think to get open no matter what.
Speaker 4: Like he was a guy that if you ran zone,
Speaker 4: he knew how to attack you and then could pick
Speaker 4: apart and decide for what covers you were in. And
Speaker 4: then if you played man, you just couldn't keep up
Speaker 4: with him. I don't think he gets away from man
Speaker 4: as well, but he's still very knowledgeable and I think
Speaker 4: if you bring him into a receiver room, I think
Speaker 4: he's gonna change the dynamic of your receiver room. Kendrick Bourne,
Speaker 4: a receiver for the Patriots now said back in college,
Speaker 4: he's a Cooper Cup told him, you're a better player
Speaker 4: than me. I just work harder than you. And I
Speaker 4: think that method and that mentality will help change your room.
Speaker 4: And if not the Patriots, we're just talking about them.
Speaker 4: The Dallas Cowboys could use a guy like Cooper Cup
Speaker 4: who comes in with a focus on winning games, winning
Speaker 4: Super Bowls, and he might have the impact similar to
Speaker 4: Saquon Barkley I felt had in Philly this year of
Speaker 4: putting the team first, doing what's best, and I think
Speaker 4: that trickled down to everybody. I think Cooper Cup can
Speaker 4: be that type of guy.
Speaker 3: I've been mentioning.
Speaker 2: If I'm the Steelers, I give Aaron Rodgers until five
Speaker 2: o'clock today. I just say, if you love us, join us.
Speaker 2: If you don't and you want to go someplace else
Speaker 2: you're not quite sure, then we don't want you.
Speaker 3: What do you think of that philosophy?
Speaker 4: I think at some point you have to do that.
Speaker 4: You have to draw a line in the sand, because
Speaker 4: how do you You have to decide how we get
Speaker 4: better as a team. You just went and you paid
Speaker 4: Dk Metcalf. You still have George Pickens on the other side.
Speaker 4: You're putting together something that is looking pretty good right now,
Speaker 4: Sign Darius Slay. We're missing the quarterback, Like Aaron, what
Speaker 4: are we doing here? Are you going to sign? You
Speaker 4: talk to a lot of different free agents they've talked about.
Speaker 4: When they go and they visit a place, the team
Speaker 4: tells them, hey, if you leave the building, offers off
Speaker 4: the table because we have to move on. So whatever
Speaker 4: it is, like, I think for them, you have to
Speaker 4: fear right now if you don't get Rogers and then
Speaker 4: Wilson signed somewhere else.
Speaker 3: Now, what do you do, he signs money.
Speaker 2: What's the most important thing that you're looking for or
Speaker 2: players look for in free agency?
Speaker 4: I think the culture that you're playing in, and then
Speaker 4: what system you're playing, And I think if you're a
Speaker 4: smart player and understand that it's not just the money.
Speaker 4: Because I always thought of free agency or being a player,
Speaker 4: how do I make every single dime in my contract?
Speaker 4: Everyone always talks about how do you just make the guarantee?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 4: Why if I sign a five year deal, why not
Speaker 4: try to sign on somewhere? Why I think I'll fit
Speaker 4: for all five years. So a part of that culture
Speaker 4: is is the coach on the chopping block? Am I
Speaker 4: going to sign with a coach in general manager that
Speaker 4: might not be here next year? And we get a
Speaker 4: whole new person with philosophy? And then the system you're
Speaker 4: in does it benefit you as a player? Everybody's selling
Speaker 4: you a free agency you need to do your own
Speaker 4: research and figure out, Hey, what kind of player was
Speaker 4: in this system? How do I benefit? You heard justin Jefferson,
Speaker 4: when Kevin o'conllen those guys got to Minnesota, he said,
Speaker 4: how do I become Cooper Cup? What did he do?
Speaker 4: How was he so successful. How is he so successful?
Speaker 4: For la and Kevin O'Connell said, learn every position, every
Speaker 4: wide receiver position. Then I can put you anywhere. So
Speaker 4: like that guy now knows how to be successful. You
Speaker 4: have to find that in free agency as well.
Speaker 3: Do you think guys go for location weather.
Speaker 4: I think some. I think some of the older guys.
Speaker 4: I think that's a part of it of you wanting
Speaker 4: to do something. I will say, family, weather, all those
Speaker 4: different things. Like I think of a guy like Cooper Kublic,
Speaker 4: he might want to stay on the West Coast. He's
Speaker 4: won a super Bowl, he's won a Triple Crown, like
Speaker 4: he's had a ton of success for him. There there
Speaker 4: starts to be things that you say, Hey, if I
Speaker 4: want to keep playing football, I want these things. And
Speaker 4: I understand that. But I think those younger guys who
Speaker 4: are getting too that first real big money, they'll sign
Speaker 4: like they'll sign anywhere. You heard Milton Williams he signing
Speaker 4: New Wingley said, I just want a super Bowl. A
Speaker 4: few a month or two ago. I think this might
Speaker 4: be better than that super Bowl. He's already forgotten about
Speaker 4: the super Bowl because he sees all those zeros.
Speaker 2: Good to talk to you, Devin, have a great weekend.
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 4: Likewise, I good talking to you there.
Speaker 2: It's Devin recording Football Night in America three times Super
Speaker 2: Bowl champ with the Patriots. A couple of phone calls
Speaker 2: in here. Uh Sean in Kansas, Hi, Sean, what's on
Speaker 2: your mind today?
Speaker 13: Hey guys, thanks for taking my call again. I actually
Speaker 13: have two things, if you'll let me one. My daughter
Speaker 13: turns to this weekend. She hasn't missed an episode. She
Speaker 13: loves the theme song we played in our car all
Speaker 13: the time. I was hoping to get a happy birthday.
Speaker 13: And that way, whenever you guys retire, whether it's in
Speaker 13: February or in December of twenty twenty seven, then I
Speaker 13: can play it on her birthday every year.
Speaker 3: That would be.
Speaker 14: What happened.
Speaker 3: Oh, no, we know we didn't get his daughter's name.
Speaker 6: Marvin, I was my hands are right here.
Speaker 3: I didn't touch anything.
Speaker 2: Well Ray wait, well, pa, Ray is filling in for Tyler.
Speaker 9: It appears the call dropped on his end from I'm
Speaker 9: looking at Marvin screen.
Speaker 3: On whose end they call it? Oh Sean's end? Yeah,
Speaker 3: and we don't have the name.
Speaker 2: Well, Sean called me back, so I can have your
Speaker 2: daughter's name and then we can sing the song. But
Speaker 2: Ray is filling in for Tyler, and I thought maybe
Speaker 2: it was pilot air there.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Paul, if we don't get him back, should we
Speaker 9: just sing the song with random little girl names and
Speaker 9: maybe we'll hit the right one.
Speaker 2: Now, I'm going to trust that Seawan is capable of
Speaker 2: coming back. We'll reconnect there. It's a big moment here.
Speaker 2: I think this will be for posterity's sake. His daughter
Speaker 2: is going to be, you know, like twenty four, and
Speaker 2: then he'll play the song that we recorded.
Speaker 3: Sean. Your daughter's name is uh sean.
Speaker 12: On.
Speaker 13: Hey, thank you guys. My daughter pushed the headphone button
Speaker 13: and it turned off the phone. She's watching you guys
Speaker 13: right now, and I'm yelling. I'm just saying, hey, guys,
Speaker 13: that's her name is Oakley, and she turns to this
Speaker 13: weekend and she would love a happy birthday. But I
Speaker 13: also do have most valuable Danette Odds. If you guys
Speaker 13: want to hear it, Okay, Well, I'm going to say
Speaker 13: Paul is in the lead, and I think that's a
Speaker 13: surprise for some people. But I have to say this
Speaker 13: show is all about content and when you guys are
Speaker 13: on break, and even when you're not on break. Paulie
Speaker 13: is on Twitter posting the best places to get wings,
Speaker 13: the bars with the most spears. He's posting videos of
Speaker 13: nutshots and college basketball.
Speaker 3: But that has nothing to do with the show, though, Sean.
Speaker 13: He's keeping all of us entertained while you guys are
Speaker 13: off the air though, That's what I'm saying. Eaton also
Speaker 13: doing some soccer takes. He's in second place. But yeah,
Speaker 13: my daughter Oakley turned to this weekend. I think a
Speaker 13: happy birthday.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Sean, Thank you, Sean.
Speaker 15: Birthday, sat Down, Happy Birthday, Oakley, Happy birthday?
Speaker 3: Uh Bill and Indy? Hi Bill? What's on your mind today?
Speaker 7: Hey Dan, thanks for taking my call. I was hoping
Speaker 7: you to accept an offer or maybe a recommendation for
Speaker 7: a new meat Friday song. Okay, it's done to the
Speaker 7: tune of Casey Abrams. You know Casey Abrams, a song
Speaker 7: called the Simple Life or a Simple Life? You know
Speaker 7: that one?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Maybe here, Okay.
Speaker 14: Don't need no pasta, I don't need men, no beans,
Speaker 14: don't need no salad. You can keep all them greens
Speaker 14: because it's meaty. My cocoa burger I'm my cocoa rebbi,
Speaker 14: my cook some cornbe finds. Is that kind of guy?
Speaker 14: Because it's Meet Friday.
Speaker 3: There you go, Thank you, Bill Will. That's a that's
Speaker 3: a live performance.
Speaker 4: There.
Speaker 3: Steven Maryland, Hi, Steve, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 16: Hi?
Speaker 3: Good morning?
Speaker 1: Wondering if you would entertain a memorabilia piece to put
Speaker 1: front and center?
Speaker 3: Okay, what's what is the piece of memorabilia? All right,
Speaker 3: and you're gonna love this. This is a Loyola Lacrosse.
Speaker 8: Helmets time by Pat and Cam Spencer.
Speaker 2: Okay, uh, I probably wouldn't put it front and center.
Speaker 2: Maybe side, but uh yeah. You know, once again, if
Speaker 2: you send it in, you're not getting it back. The
Speaker 2: only thing we sent back was Carson Palmer's Heisman Trophy,
Speaker 2: and I did that well. No, also Darius Rutgers grammy.
Speaker 2: So if you do send it in, chances are it's
Speaker 2: staying here. I remember when Darius Rutger, so he had
Speaker 2: won a couple of Grammys for Hooty and the Bluefish,
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden I get this phone call.
Speaker 2: You got to send that grammy back. I said, wait,
Speaker 2: what happened? I said, you got a few of them?
Speaker 2: He goes, no, you can't have it on display. You
Speaker 2: can't you know, might prevent me from winning another Grammy.
Speaker 2: And then I joked and said, you're not winning another Grammy.
Speaker 3: Don't worry about hardcore.
Speaker 2: I was joking with him, and he goes, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: you got to overnight that. You got to overnight that.
Speaker 2: So I said, all right, overnighted I had a Grammy
Speaker 2: and I'm like, that's the most coverage the Grammy's gotten.
Speaker 2: We put it on display. So I sent it back
Speaker 2: to him.
Speaker 3: Buzz kill.
Speaker 2: All right, more phone calls coming up. Mike Tannenbaum, he
Speaker 2: worked in the front office. He was jam of two
Speaker 2: teams in his career, so we'll get his thoughts on
Speaker 2: maybe that side of this free agency period. We're back
Speaker 2: after this in The Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 5: are just indecisive, okay.

Speaker 2: last night, but his four thousandth thank you. Second on
Speaker 2: the list is James Hardinet and twenty seven. Luca had
Speaker 2: forty five in a loss to the Bucks. And we
Speaker 2: talked about this with Lebron and the schedule, that you
Speaker 2: can be kind of flirting with the play in game
Speaker 2: by the time Lebron comes back. We talked about Cooper
Speaker 2: Flag with the ankle injury. I don't see him playing
Speaker 2: against North Carolina. They did get past Georgia Tech con
Speaker 2: Canoople Canipple scored Boll I hope he makes it in
Speaker 2: the NBA free The Canipple con goes for twenty eight
Speaker 2: points as they beat Georgia tech Is twenty eight are
Speaker 2: the most by a duke freshman in an ACC tournament
Speaker 2: game since Zion had thirty one against Carolina and.
Speaker 3: Twenty one nineteen.
Speaker 2: So Connipple, yes, if he has a cold shooting night, goldnipples, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I get a little knippian y. Thank you, Todd relate.
Speaker 2: You always have per nipples for some reason.
Speaker 15: Why excited?
Speaker 3: You know? But why is that?
Speaker 16: I'm not sure I've got a condition.
Speaker 3: Is it a condition?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 16: I should ask my primary care position what's going on.
Speaker 2: I can't imagine a worse job than your primary care physician.
Speaker 3: You're gonna be fine, you know, even.
Speaker 2: The secondary care. Do you think the primary goes? I
Speaker 2: can't do it. Hey, Tommy, can you come in here
Speaker 2: and take take a look at Todd.
Speaker 3: I can't do it.
Speaker 16: And then I'm gonna ask for a second opinion and
Speaker 16: a third opinion anywhere.
Speaker 3: Yes, Paul.
Speaker 9: According to the CDC and Mayo clinic, causes the treatment
Speaker 9: of puffy nipples and men that's what they call them.
Speaker 9: They said, uh, hormone and balances excess body fat can
Speaker 9: cause boosted nipples, as they call them. There you go,
Speaker 9: and the best thing to get rid of it is,
Speaker 9: I want to.
Speaker 2: Guess get in shape, exercise, Yeah, okay, I.
Speaker 16: Don't know about hormone balance, chemicalm balance, yes, and the
Speaker 16: weight there.
Speaker 3: Do you think you have a chemical imbalance?
Speaker 10: Very possible, really yeah, I'm a little off. Yeah, but
Speaker 10: you know what, hopefully in a good way. Yes, well,
Speaker 10: puffy nipples. This is also from a medical website. Result
Speaker 10: of rapid or excessive weight gain and weight loss, hormonal imbalances,
Speaker 10: or steroid use.
Speaker 3: Back in the day, did you think about using steroids?
Speaker 4: Never?
Speaker 16: Okay, but it was flattering if someone came up to
Speaker 16: you and asked you if you were on something, which
Speaker 16: meant obviously they were impressed with your physic.
Speaker 2: If you didn't have to put a needle in you,
Speaker 2: but you were taking pills.
Speaker 16: And it was supervised properly, and there was no like
Speaker 16: side effects.
Speaker 3: Right, thing like, well, no, there's always going to be
Speaker 3: side effects.
Speaker 16: Yeah, I'd be too neurotic about you know, my skin's
Speaker 16: purple faces, bloated.
Speaker 2: Fritzy calls me, and and if Fritzy calls me, then
Speaker 2: I know, like it's either really something strange or something serious,
Speaker 2: So I pick up the phone. If Todd goes, hey,
Speaker 2: what are you doing going on? I'm going home. Funny
Speaker 2: thing happened. Funny thing happened with my mom. Now, I
Speaker 2: know it's a longer story, probably not going to be funny,
Speaker 2: but I do have great I do really like Todd's mom.
Speaker 2: I think she's a character. She's right out of everybody
Speaker 2: loves Raymond. So Todd then tells me the story that
Speaker 2: you know, his mom doesn't go out, don't go out,
Speaker 2: then leave the apartment, but always calls Todd hasked, what
Speaker 2: the what the weather's like?
Speaker 4: That's the weather? What's the weather like?
Speaker 16: Why don't you go You have a little terrace, you
Speaker 16: can go outside, go down to the lobby of the building,
Speaker 16: just fed the pigeons, sit on the bench with the
Speaker 16: all the elder cockers, and you know, just kind of
Speaker 16: do your thing.
Speaker 7: And this.
Speaker 16: You got to get out of the house. I have
Speaker 16: a Periodonti's appointment next week. That's when I'll go out
Speaker 16: when a van comes to pick me up.
Speaker 3: But I didn't know why you called me to tell
Speaker 3: me that story.
Speaker 4: I had to because it's like I just had to
Speaker 4: share with you.
Speaker 16: And then she went on all of a sudden, she said,
Speaker 16: continental Continental, and I'm like, I don't know what you're
Speaker 16: talking about. Mom. Then I realized she watches like twenty
Speaker 16: hours of the game show Network, So I guess she
Speaker 16: was doing the play by playing playing along from some
Speaker 16: game show she was watching.
Speaker 4: So I played along. It's edited Breakfast Divide. I didn't
Speaker 4: know what to do. It's very strange. What's the weather?
Speaker 4: And then she's yelling Continental.
Speaker 2: At Okay, why don't you just call your brother? Maybe
Speaker 2: he can relate to it and laugh a little totally gay.
Speaker 16: He's got less patience than I do.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it doesn't go well when they the two of
Speaker 4: them talk.
Speaker 2: All right, can we play the brand new game Great Job,
Speaker 2: Bad Job?
Speaker 14: Yes?
Speaker 3: Okay, Marvin has custom music for this. Right here we go. Yeah,
Speaker 3: time to play Great Job, Bad Job.
Speaker 9: Multiple reports. Free agent quarterback Gardner Minshew reached an agreement
Speaker 9: on Thursday for a one year deal with the Kansas
Speaker 9: City Chiefs. He did the backup for Patrick Mahomes. Is
Speaker 9: this a great job or not a great job? I'll
Speaker 9: go first. That's a fantastic job. Probably a nice check
Speaker 9: like in the seven million range. The goal is to
Speaker 9: not play one snappy entire season. You're not gonna get hurt,
Speaker 9: and you're probably gonna get bonus playoff moneies and maybe
Speaker 9: a ring without actually doing anything.
Speaker 3: I say it's a great job, Okay, Todd, great job.
Speaker 4: Great job all around. And the chiefs are always one
Speaker 4: step ahead of everybody.
Speaker 6: It's a smart move by.
Speaker 5: Them, right seating. Great job, band job, Gardner Minshew. It's
Speaker 5: a great job. But because the plus side outweighs the negatives,
Speaker 5: it's a great job in that you might get a ring. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you also know that if all goes well, you never
Speaker 5: have to play.
Speaker 3: You know, you're never competing for that job. You never
Speaker 3: know it.
Speaker 5: Should something happen, the sky is falling because you're the
Speaker 5: guy that's doing it. That's never fun. However, I would
Speaker 5: still take the opportunity. Marvin, great job, banjob, great job.
Speaker 2: If you're at the point in your career where you
Speaker 2: know you're not going to be a starter again, then
Speaker 2: it's a great job. Here's the problem, Gardner Minshew is
Speaker 2: twenty eight. I think this is a bad job. If
Speaker 2: you want to compete, I don't, I mean, do you
Speaker 2: want to be a backup? Daniel Jones gets an opportunity
Speaker 2: to compete in Indianapolis, although Gardner Minshew was in Indianapolis.
Speaker 6: Yes, Martin, So if you're Bubby Brister, that's a great
Speaker 6: job being a backup the John Away. Right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, I mean Carson Wentz was there last year.
Speaker 2: Where did Carson.
Speaker 3: Wentz go North Dakota State? No? No, what team is
Speaker 3: he with now?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: Not exactly a big signing by somebody there. We got him.
Speaker 3: We got Carson Wentz seven years too late.
