Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final.
Speaker 2: Hour on this Meet Friday, Dan and the Dan Ats
Speaker 2: Dan Patrick Show. It's a big day, our first day
Speaker 2: in Sacramento, Sacktown, Fox Sports eight ninety AM and one
Speaker 2: oh four point seven FM. Big thank you to the
Speaker 2: radio president, the Lotus Radio President, Jim Colmanson, and of
Speaker 2: course the GM there, Kurt Bagelman.
Speaker 3: Bagman. Yes, so Sacramento.
Speaker 2: Now we're up to I think four hundred and ten
Speaker 2: cities that carry this program. Stat of the Day brought
Speaker 2: to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of
Speaker 2: the program. Garage Sale, everything on sale Dan Patrick dot Com.
Speaker 2: We've got to clear out the inventory all spring to
Speaker 2: get some new items there. At the end of last hour,
Speaker 2: is wondering where Carson Wentz was going because Gardner Minshew
Speaker 2: is going to take his job as a backup for
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, and I'm thinking, where's Carson Wentz going? And
Speaker 2: Fritzy said, maybe the Titans. This a little buzz about that,
Speaker 2: the little buzz okay, that might be a are you
Speaker 2: reporting this? I am not okay, Eddie was really.
Speaker 3: Reporting okay to do okay?
Speaker 2: The uh Carson Wentz to the Titans, maybe in a
Speaker 2: backup role.
Speaker 4: You've had a lot of sleepless nights wondering where Corson
Speaker 4: Wentz was playing.
Speaker 2: Not any longer, but five teams in the last five years.
Speaker 2: This won't be his last stop. Earlier today, Adam Schefter
Speaker 2: said that there was some growing interest with the Donalds
Speaker 2: Cowboys with Cooper Cup. I'm like, Okay, Cooper Cup, Cowboys
Speaker 2: are interested, and then about ninety minutes later the reverse
Speaker 2: course to say that the Cowboys are not interested in
Speaker 2: Cooper Cup. I don't know what happened in the ninety
Speaker 2: minutes other than he probably heard from somebody who said, uh,
Speaker 2: we're not interested. Now you're hearing and this makes a
Speaker 2: lot of sense, Seattle. And the reason why I say
Speaker 2: that is you stay in the NFC West. He is
Speaker 2: from I think Yakima, and he played at Eastern Washington,
Speaker 2: and they need some receivers. You could put him in there.
Speaker 2: Maybe you get a couple of years with Cooper Cup.
Speaker 2: You could do worse, that's for sure. I don't know
Speaker 2: what the price tag is going to be. I think
Speaker 2: he was making twenty million with the Rams, but maybe
Speaker 2: you get a bargain there and Devin mccorty, who former
Speaker 2: defensive back, joined his last hour and he said, that's
Speaker 2: a guy you won in your receiver room. He's the
Speaker 2: guy who's going to make the other guys work harder
Speaker 2: and understand what it takes. Now, as Cooper Cup says,
Speaker 2: a lot of guys are more talented than me, but
Speaker 2: you're not going to outwork me. And he provided us
Speaker 2: with I think the greatest is there another another year
Speaker 2: of the receiver that is better than what Cooper Cup did?
Speaker 2: You win the Triple Crown and you win the Super
Speaker 2: Bowl and you're the Super Bowl MVP. I don't think
Speaker 2: anybody has come up with anything that comes close to that.
Speaker 2: Because we've had a few receivers who've won the Triple Crown.
Speaker 2: How many have won the Super Bowl in the same year,
Speaker 2: and how many have won the MVP in the Super Bowl. Yes, Paully,
Speaker 2: I have a couple.
Speaker 5: Nineteen ninety five Jerry Rice one hundred and twenty two receptions,
Speaker 5: eighteen and forty eight yards and fifteen touchdowns. He finished
Speaker 5: second in the MVP. Okay year, I'm checking if they
Speaker 5: won the Super Bowl that year.
Speaker 2: Now he finished second with the regular season MVP.
Speaker 3: Correct Is that right?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 2: Who won the Did they the Niners win the Super
Speaker 2: Bowl that year? Jerry was the MVP. I think won
Speaker 2: Super Bowl when they beat the Broncos in New Orleans.
Speaker 6: I believe when they beat the Bengals, I believe.
Speaker 3: Oh he was.
Speaker 7: I'm almost certain, almost not a pie to the face,
Speaker 7: but ninety five percent sure.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But John Taylor caught the game winning touchdown pass against
Speaker 2: the Bengals.
Speaker 6: Think Jerry Rice had eighty seven catches in that game?
Speaker 3: No, he didn't.
Speaker 2: He had one big catch that set up the touchdown
Speaker 2: to John Taylor.
Speaker 3: Yes, poem.
Speaker 5: The ninety five nine ers did not even make it
Speaker 5: to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Mmmm, well, it takes that year out, even though as
Speaker 2: great as it was now, Cooper Cup had the greatest
Speaker 2: year a wide receiver's ever had.
Speaker 3: Yeah, pong.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: A couple of lists that I have here, they all
Speaker 5: three have Cooper Cup up top. Another one is seven
Speaker 5: Randy Moss ninety eight catches, fifteen hundred yards, twenty three touchdowns.
Speaker 3: Okay, did not win the Super Bowl. Okay, I'm trying
Speaker 3: to think of anybody else would come close to that.
Speaker 2: I mean, felt like Calvin Johnson always had a great year,
Speaker 2: but he didn't play in any meaningful playoff games. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Cooper Cup, although Odell Beckham it felt like was on
Speaker 2: his way to being the MVP of had Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: Is OBJ on a roster anymore? See still in Miami.
Speaker 3: Feels like.
Speaker 2: There's expiration date on that career. Yes, Marvin, he might
Speaker 2: be with Carson wentz Oh in Tennessee, just on a
Speaker 2: free agent market.
Speaker 7: Also, Jerry Rice did win the Super Bowl MVP for
Speaker 7: that Super Bowl against the Cincinnati Bengals. Really, you had
Speaker 7: eleven receptions for two hundred and fifteen yards in a touchdown?
Speaker 3: Okay, anything, Although.
Speaker 1: Start to day, start of a day, start outa day.
Speaker 3: This is the style.
Speaker 9: Of the day.
Speaker 2: Stat of the Day brought to you by panadi America,
Speaker 2: the official trading cards of the program. Good morning, if
Speaker 2: you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app.
Speaker 2: Fritzy was hoping Cooper Cup could end up with the Broncos.
Speaker 2: Diana Rassini on her Scoop City podcast said that, uh,
Speaker 2: Cooper Cup is not in the plans for the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 3: Just thing, I don't really have.
Speaker 4: Any credibility shot, I don't know, don't know anything about
Speaker 4: that effort.
Speaker 2: Diana Rassini The Athletic mentioned the Seahawks, Packers, Saints, and
Speaker 2: Vikings as teams having at least some level of interest
Speaker 2: in Cooper Cup. I'm not sure where the Cowboys name
Speaker 2: came out with this, Like, I understand that Jerry Jones
Speaker 2: likes you know, hey, we got Cooper Cup. Can he play?
Speaker 2: I don't know, but we got Cooper Cup. I get
Speaker 2: the Seahawks. That makes a lot of sense going back home. Packers, yeah, okay, Saints, Vikings,
Speaker 2: these are all NFC teams interested in him.
Speaker 10: All right.
Speaker 2: Poll question for the final hour of the program, Seaton,
Speaker 2: what are we going to go with? By the way,
Speaker 2: it's a meat Friday. We have corn beef on the way.
Speaker 2: Who has it better than we do?
Speaker 3: Money? All right?
Speaker 2: What's poll question for the final hour of this award
Speaker 2: nominated program.
Speaker 9: We're putting up there? The Patrick Mahomes backup is a
Speaker 9: fantastic gig or not one that you want?
Speaker 6: Not great?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 9: I think it's got its pluses and minuses.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I get it.
Speaker 2: I mean they're hoping you don't play. They don't want
Speaker 2: you to play unless you play. For two reasons. This
Speaker 2: game is so out of hand or your starting quarterback
Speaker 2: just got injured. Yeah, if you're playing, it's either really
Speaker 2: great or really terrible. Yeah, man, I still go back
Speaker 2: to Carson Wentz his second season in the league.
Speaker 3: Now, since nineteen.
Speaker 2: Seventy, there are two quarterbacks who had at least thirty
Speaker 2: touchdowns and fewer than ten interceptions in their second NFL season.
Speaker 2: One is Carson Wentz in twenty seventeen, he had thirty
Speaker 2: three touchdown passes and he had seven interceptions. Lamar Jackson
Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen was thirty six touchdown pousses and six interceptions.
Speaker 11: Statup to day startup Today status, day status the day,
Speaker 11: status to day status day status to day statug.
Speaker 2: Brought you by Panini America. And you talk about on
Speaker 2: the cusp of winning the MVP and then you get replaced,
Speaker 2: finished third in MVP race and then your backup wins
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl and that was it pretty much, that
Speaker 2: was it done, Yeah, Paul, Yeah.
Speaker 5: He started more games in Philly. He had a nice
Speaker 5: season Indy and now he's a bouncing around backup. But uh,
Speaker 5: it's really wild. He was third for MVP. It's an
Speaker 5: unbelievable season. And there's always so much injury that happened.
Speaker 3: He didn't lose his ability to play the position, did he?
Speaker 3: Or confidence? Well? That I think is what maybe have
Speaker 3: went Wentz? That see what I did? That's what? Wait?
Speaker 2: Blood you know that trying to go in for the
Speaker 2: touchdown against the Rams and got sandwiched and blowed Hissney.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I have an article from summer of twenty eighteen
Speaker 5: if you could start your team with any quarterback under
Speaker 5: twenty five years old, Carson Wentz is in first place.
Speaker 2: By the way, why is it Kansas City loves former
Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguar quarterbacks Blaine Gabbert Chad Henny Gardner.
Speaker 6: Minshew, it's kind of interesting.
Speaker 2: Huh Yeah, well it's weird, weird, weird coincidence there.
Speaker 5: Yes, Paul quick poll question, would you rather be the
Speaker 5: Jaguar starter or the backup for the Chikansas City barely kidding?
Speaker 3: I would rather be the starter always, rather be the starter. Yeap, yep, yep, yep, yep. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Let's see. We touched on Steph Curry. We touched
Speaker 2: on basketball. No bids last night, no bids tonight, but
Speaker 2: plenty of them over the weekend. We get ready for
Speaker 2: March Madness in selection Sunday, Cooper Flag probably not going
Speaker 2: to play. I was curious about the odds. Now the
Speaker 2: odds to win the ACC Tournament, Duke is still a
Speaker 2: big favorite to win. Then Louisville, Clemson, and North Carolina.
Speaker 2: That's according to DraftKings odds to win March Madness. Duke
Speaker 2: is now second to Auburn. Before Cooper Flag's injury, it
Speaker 2: was Duke at a plus three twenty. Now they're plus
Speaker 2: three sixty. So it's Auburn and then it's Duke. Houston
Speaker 2: and Florida are tied, and then it's Alabama. But that's
Speaker 2: the updated odds with DraftKings. Josh in California, Hi Josh,

Speaker 3: baby girl coming in July.
Speaker 2: Okay, congratulations, congratulations.
Speaker 3: Okay, So we've got a baby girl coming in July.
Speaker 10: We are thinking.
Speaker 8: About naming her Miller.
Speaker 3: And you've given advice to people in the past that
Speaker 3: you should give a gift, and I was just kind
Speaker 3: of wondering what type of gifts.
Speaker 8: And like when do you give it?
Speaker 10: Like do you give it right after.
Speaker 3: It's all to your to your wife? Yes? Okay, yes, Todd,
Speaker 3: I'd say a six pack of beer.
Speaker 4: If you're calling the kid Miller, what else would you
Speaker 4: do it?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully she's light. I'm killing it today. I am
Speaker 2: dominating today. I am dominating. Hopefully she has a good
Speaker 2: head on her shoulders killing it killing all right. Uh so,
Speaker 2: when do you give a gift to your wife? I
Speaker 2: would say give it to her when she comes home,
Speaker 2: because she might be if she has an epidural, she
Speaker 2: might not be like all there, you.
Speaker 3: Know, going through childbirth.
Speaker 2: I can only imagine, having been there four times and
Speaker 2: I nearly passed out one time, I'd say, wait until
Speaker 2: you get home. I don't know what the gift's going
Speaker 2: to be. I don't know how you know heavy you
Speaker 2: want to go in? Did you guys do like a
Speaker 2: month's salary? Is that still what you do for engagement rings?
Speaker 3: Is it is a.
Speaker 2: Two times or three times a monthly salary or something
Speaker 2: silly like that, pauling.
Speaker 5: Mine was my life savings at the time. I was
Speaker 5: down to one hundred and fifty bucks after the bye.
Speaker 3: M Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2: I never got caught up in the cost of it.
Speaker 2: I just found the ring that I wanted to give
Speaker 2: my wife. I thought that that and she was fine
Speaker 2: with that. Yes, seton, I got a family ring. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: her family ring.
Speaker 3: That's good.
Speaker 16: Yeah, Oh yeah, It's like I'd love to give you
Speaker 16: your mom's ring or your grandmother's ring. He's like, hey,
Speaker 16: if we're doing this, this is my ring, right, I'm
Speaker 16: like heck, yeah, yeah, sweet yes ton.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 4: We looked out like that too.
Speaker 14: This was like some kind of family heirloom that gets
Speaker 14: passed down, so we didn't have to spend all kinds
Speaker 14: of money.
Speaker 2: Doug Whaley, former GM with the Buffalo Bills, was on
Speaker 2: ninety three point seven The Fan in Pittsburgh and had
Speaker 2: this to say about Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 17: If I'm Omark Kahn and I'm the Pittsburgh Steelers, one
Speaker 17: you shouldn't be surprised, and two you have to sit
Speaker 17: down and really think about do we want to sign
Speaker 17: up for this? Because he's set in the table in
Speaker 17: the president early it's all about Aaron Rodgers and it
Speaker 17: has nothing to do with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's going
Speaker 17: to hold the whole franchise hostage on waiting for him
Speaker 17: to make a decision. But that's par for the course
Speaker 17: when you deal with a guy like Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3: So you have to make sure you really.
Speaker 17: Want this not only in your locker room, but to
Speaker 17: be the face of your franchise. It's not going to
Speaker 17: be the Pittsburgh Steelers anymore. It's going to be Aaron
Speaker 17: Rodgers Pittsburgh Steelers, all right.
Speaker 2: Doug Whaley, former Bills general manager on ninety three seven
Speaker 2: the Fan in Pittsburgh, we bring in Mike Tannenbond, former
Speaker 2: general manager in the NFL. Let's follow up with that, Mike,
Speaker 2: how is Aaron Rodgers supposedly holding the Steelers hostage?
Speaker 18: Well, if you're the Steelers, you just traded for DK Metcalf, Dan,
Speaker 18: you give him thirty million dollars a year and a
Speaker 18: second round pick, and your plan is not to throw
Speaker 18: the ball from Mason Rudolph to George Pickens and Dk Metcalf.
Speaker 18: I'm sure they're sitting there thinking like it's not ideal.
Speaker 18: But if we go with Russell Wilson, we'll go with
Speaker 18: Russell Wilson. But Aaron Rodgers gives us a chance to
Speaker 18: get to where we want to go. Last year, Dan,
Speaker 18: they averaged fourteen points per game over their last five games.
Speaker 2: Okay, but how does Minnesota factor into all of this?
Speaker 2: And is it Minnesota who's holding the Steelers hostage?
Speaker 8: I think that's right, and that's a I don't think.
Speaker 8: To me.
Speaker 18: First of all, you and I have been around this
Speaker 18: for a long time. Can you ever remember a team
Speaker 18: losing three quarterbacks in the period of ten days? Nick Mullins,
Speaker 18: Daniel Jones, and Sam Darnold. Kevin O'Connell must be, you know,
Speaker 18: the modern day quarterback whisper. It's really remarkable. I think
Speaker 18: it's different though, in terms of bringing in Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 18: If you and I were running the Vikings, it all
Speaker 18: would be about what's the best situation for JJ McCarthy
Speaker 18: and I don't understand how Aaron Rodgers fits that bill.
Speaker 2: But if you're the Steelers, why don't you just say
Speaker 2: to Aaron Rodgers, we need a decision by today, like
Speaker 2: we have to move on here. We want you, but
Speaker 2: I need to know how much you want us. And
Speaker 2: maybe he's telling the Steelers I don't. I may want you,
Speaker 2: but I really want that Minnesota situation better than this
Speaker 2: or you know, it's a better opportunity, a higher ceiling there.
Speaker 18: Dan, look like you don't have to be hypothetical. That's
Speaker 18: what's happening right now, because why else would Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 18: be waiting And I agree with your hundred percent and
Speaker 18: take you into Omar con GM. The Steelers look Aaron
Speaker 18: we are signing Russell Wilson today. Like you don't have
Speaker 18: to worry about reading about it, hearing about from your agent.
Speaker 18: I am giving you the answers to the test. If
Speaker 18: you do not sign by close of business today, you
Speaker 18: will be reading that Russell Wilson is a Steeler and
Speaker 18: you're either going to be backing up JJ McCarthy or
Speaker 18: you're going to be in met life. And let me
Speaker 18: ask you a question, Aaron, what was the last time
Speaker 18: there was a Giant quarterback since Eli Manning? That went
Speaker 18: to the Giants and it worked out well. So the
Speaker 18: decision is happening today. We love you, we want you,
Speaker 18: but we have to run our team in our best interests,
Speaker 18: and we're giving you all the information.
Speaker 2: Mike Tannebaum you can see him on Get Up, a
Speaker 2: variety of programs, NFL Live and Sports Center.
Speaker 3: What are the Cleveland Browns doing?
Speaker 18: I think for them it's a little bit different. I
Speaker 18: think that's a little bit more about stability. Look, Jamis Winston,
Speaker 18: you know was, look, let's be gracious here, inconsistent last year.
Speaker 18: I think for them they need optionality. If we were
Speaker 18: speaking three weeks ago, I think talking to people around
Speaker 18: the league I think Tennessee was going to consider moving
Speaker 18: on from cam Ward.
Speaker 8: That's not going to happen.
Speaker 18: You know, they went out and they signed Dan Moore,
Speaker 18: they moved JC Latham to the right side, they signed Zeitler.
Speaker 18: Everything they're doing says they're taking cam Ward. So for
Speaker 18: the Browns, Russell Wilson at least gives us a step
Speaker 18: up from a consistency standpoint over to Jamis Winston. It's
Speaker 18: a consequential year for Andrew Berry and Kevin Stefanski, so
Speaker 18: like to be they're just looking for stability, and that's
Speaker 18: what Russell Wilson brings.
Speaker 2: Okay, But would you rather have Kirk Cousins or Russell
Speaker 2: Wilson If you're the Browns.
Speaker 18: One hundred percent, it's Kirk Cousins. If we go back
Speaker 18: to Minnesota where Kirk Cousins had a ton of success
Speaker 18: for a lot of those years, Kevin Stefanski was the
Speaker 18: offensive coordinator right now, you know, the Atlanta Falcons have
Speaker 18: told Kirk Cousins and his agent repeatedly, you're not going
Speaker 18: anywhere on Sunday. He has a ten million dollars Robster
Speaker 18: moons that becomes guaranteed. It's next year. But it becomes
Speaker 18: fully guaranteed. I'm just telling you, like Dan bringing it
Speaker 18: inside a franchise, if a player doesn't want to be there,
Speaker 18: like you don't want him there, like everything is about
Speaker 18: Michael Pennix in Atlanta. And if Kirk Cousins is saying
Speaker 18: that I don't want to be there and I'm not
Speaker 18: going to be in the off season program, I'm going
Speaker 18: to show up late, be the first one to leave. Like,
Speaker 18: go out and get a Drew Locke or Jacoby Brissett
Speaker 18: as a backup and cut your losses. You know, we've
Speaker 18: seen great franchises like the Rams pay you know, Jared
Speaker 18: aff over one hundred million dollars to move on. We've
Speaker 18: seen the Eagles pay Jared went excuse me, Carson Wentz
Speaker 18: over one hundred million dollars to move on. And I
Speaker 18: think you show me a franchise with good mental toughness,
Speaker 18: I'll show you a good franchise.
Speaker 8: And that's what Atlanta needs to do with Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 2: Which situation do you like better quarterbacking wise, the Raiders
Speaker 2: with Gino or the Seahawks with Sam Darnold.
Speaker 18: Yeah, I'm very intreated by Sattle and Sam Donald. I
Speaker 18: think first of all, that was masterclass GMing to get
Speaker 18: seven years younger, less expensive at a third round pick.
Speaker 18: Do I think Gino Smith arguably may be a little
Speaker 18: bit better than Sam Donald. Possibly, but I think Smith
Speaker 18: and Jigba if he was on the East Coast, we'd
Speaker 18: be talking about an emerging stock at receiver. Clearly they're
Speaker 18: going to have to add another piece or two. Their
Speaker 18: offensive line has to get a little bit better. But
Speaker 18: I the fact that Clint Kobe af their new offensive coordinator,
Speaker 18: no Sam Darn from their San Francisco days, I think
Speaker 18: is meaningful.
Speaker 2: We had Steve Young on yesterday and he said that
Speaker 2: there's some organizations that are stuck in the stone age.
Speaker 2: I'm going to paraphrase that unless you're part of the
Speaker 2: Sean McVay tree, Kyle Shanahan Tree, Andy Reid Tree, then
Speaker 2: you're in the stone age. Is when it comes to offense.
Speaker 2: Those guys understand what the what is the future in
Speaker 2: the NFL, and certainly at the quarterbacking position.
Speaker 3: Your thoughts on that, I think, you.
Speaker 8: Know that is somewhat true.
Speaker 18: You know, it's interesting going through this jet Head coaching search,
Speaker 18: we talked to a lot of people learned a lot,
Speaker 18: and some of the feedback we got from the defensive
Speaker 18: coaches was fascinating. And the trend in the league is,
Speaker 18: you know, looking at shift's motion, all the prestat movement,
Speaker 18: it does put you know, logic as you would think,
Speaker 18: it puts pressure on the opposing team's defense, like when
Speaker 18: the picture is static, which some classic quarterbacks like Peyton
Speaker 18: Manning and Aaron Rodgers, they want the picture to be static.
Speaker 18: They want to collect information. But the more you talk
Speaker 18: to defensive coaches around the league, all those things that
Speaker 18: teams do it, it just puts pressure. Like Dan, you're
Speaker 18: a former athlete, like when you have to think you're
Speaker 18: not playing as fast as when you're just reacting. So
Speaker 18: I think there is something to it now to shift
Speaker 18: in motion, just to shift in motion, you know, like
Speaker 18: that doesn't really accomplish things. But I generally agree with Steve.
Speaker 18: I think the other thing too, is it's not a
Speaker 18: one size fits all approach. If you have a backup
Speaker 18: player in who's making one twentieth of a starter, which
Speaker 18: happens a lot in our system because of the salary cap,
Speaker 18: you have to plan accordingly. If your backup tackles in,
Speaker 18: you have to chip. You have to slide protections. You
Speaker 18: can't put the backup left tackle on the island that
Speaker 18: you can know Trent Williams or fill in whatever blank.
Speaker 18: And I think some poor dators understand that concept better
Speaker 18: than others.
Speaker 3: I'll leave you with this.
Speaker 2: If you ran the Titans, if you were the GM,
Speaker 2: what are you doing at the top of the draft?
Speaker 18: Cam Ward, cam Ward and cam Ward. I think the
Speaker 18: most impressive part about the combine, Dan, was what the
Speaker 18: Miami University of Miami offensive linement and teammates said about
Speaker 18: cam Ward. I'm a big believer in life is who
Speaker 18: you really are, is how you treat people that can't
Speaker 18: help you. Cam Ward was a selfless leader. He has
Speaker 18: what it takes. I think his intangibles are off the
Speaker 18: charts and they shouldn't answer the phone if someone calls him.
Speaker 3: Great to talk to you. Have a good weekend. Thank you, Mike.
Speaker 8: All right, Thanks Dan.
Speaker 2: Mike Tannenbaum, former general manager with two teams in the
Speaker 2: NFL and pretty high praise there with cam Ward going
Speaker 2: number one overall. Just saw this that Diana Rossini of
Speaker 2: the Scoop City podcast and the Athletics nobody with the
Speaker 2: Steelers believes Aaron Rodgers camp that the quarterback has chosen
Speaker 2: them or going to choose them. ESPN's Kevin Seaffert reported
Speaker 2: Wednesday the Vikings have quote at least been entertaining the
Speaker 2: possibility internally of signing Rogers. Ian Rappaport of NFL Network
Speaker 2: said the Giants have essentially told Rogers that they want
Speaker 2: him to be their starting quarterback. Jerry Dulac of the
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Post Gazette noted the Steelers have extended and offered
Speaker 2: to Rogers and they're just waiting for him. The Giants,
Speaker 2: according to Diana Rossini, are believed to have made the
Speaker 2: largest contract offer to Rogers. I don't know what any
Speaker 2: of this means, because we're talking about Aaron Rodgers. We'll
Speaker 2: take a break, last call for phone calls, what we learn,
Speaker 2: what's in store for Monday, The Stay and sports History.
Speaker 1: Right after this, be sure to catch the live edition
Speaker 1: of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern,
Speaker 1: six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: WAP made it to a Friday, and this is how
Speaker 2: we close up Sean.
Speaker 7: Ever since I was a tiny bit, I don't want
Speaker 7: no condon adun a dust.
Speaker 2: Our good buddy Lou brought some corn beef. We got
Speaker 2: some soda bread. We also have carrots there, some cabbage,
Speaker 2: and I'm looking forward to a beer coming up here
Speaker 2: in about fourteen minutes from now.
Speaker 3: But who's counting final results of the poll question, Seaton,
Speaker 3: what do you have for me?
Speaker 9: Oh boy, let's see right now we've got up there.
Speaker 9: The Patrick Mahomes backup job is a fantastic gig or
Speaker 9: I don't want that gig. Okay, seventy five percent have it.
Speaker 9: That's fantastic, Okay, all right, Like.
Speaker 2: If you don't want to play football, but you still
Speaker 2: get to wear a uniform and get paid, well.
Speaker 9: Not only do you not want to play football, you
Speaker 9: like you hope you don't won't play football.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't ever want to go.
Speaker 2: In because you know why you're going in unless it's
Speaker 2: a blowout. But you know, these Chiefs don't blow These
Speaker 2: Chiefs teams don't blow anybody out. You're always in. How
Speaker 2: many one score games did they play in last year?
Speaker 2: I mean it was in double digits. It's probably thirteen
Speaker 2: or fourteen one score games, which is crazy to think
Speaker 2: that you know how many games they won and you
Speaker 2: go to the Super Bowl that way, all right? This
Speaker 2: day in sports history, Paul, what do you have for me?
Speaker 5: Nineteen sixty two, Wilt Chamberlain of the Warriors Philadelphia Warriors
Speaker 5: played every minute of every game for forty consecutive forty
Speaker 5: seven consecutive games. The streak ended with the Warriors next
Speaker 5: game he came out AFL. NFL had their first common
Speaker 5: draft in nineteen sixty seven. The first player chosen was
Speaker 5: anybody sixty seven Draft Bubba Smith, defensive lineman, Michigan State,
Speaker 5: Michigan State. The Cincinnati Royals of the NBA announced they'd
Speaker 5: moved to Kansas City.
Speaker 3: It was a bad day for me, yeap bad day.
Speaker 5: Blank of the Atlanta Hawks scored the six millionth point.
Speaker 5: Tough to say in NBA history. Here's a hint. Very
Speaker 5: popular college player, good pro player, early nineties. Guess marm
Speaker 5: Stacy augmen Stacy augment is correct.
Speaker 7: I gotta win some money doing this, man, I make
Speaker 7: money doing this, but I gotta really win some money.
Speaker 2: You would have been good on Sports Jeopardy if we
Speaker 2: were still doing that show reboot. No No, I love
Speaker 2: doing it. I thought it was great. I just I
Speaker 2: couldn't get them. I wanted to have that. I wanted
Speaker 2: to reboot sports Jeopardy, but I was trying to get
Speaker 2: them to move it to Connecticut, to Stanford, Connecticut, and
Speaker 2: there are a lot of TV shows like Jerry Springer
Speaker 2: and Maury Povich. They're in Stanford, Connecticut. And I thought,
Speaker 2: but Jeopardy wouldn't not let the product off the Sony Lot.
Speaker 2: They guard the clues with their life, and I said,
Speaker 2: you can still have the clues and make sure nobody
Speaker 2: you know reads them or I don't know. They would
Speaker 2: not allow it to go off campus and the Sony Lot.
Speaker 2: But I thought that was so much fun to do it.
Speaker 2: And then you realize I know a lot of sports.
Speaker 2: There are some people who know a whole lot more
Speaker 2: than I do. But also the ability to be able
Speaker 2: to you know, you're seeing the category, seeing the clues,
Speaker 2: and then I you know, I'm reading the question to you,
Speaker 2: and then you have to time it correctly. You're on TV.
Speaker 2: It's not like when you're sitting at home and you're
Speaker 2: doing Jeopardy and you're yelling at man, I'm killing it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, be on the show.
Speaker 2: Lights on, You get dressed up and all of a
Speaker 2: sudden you're trying to buzz in and then let me
Speaker 2: know how you do big weekend college basketball. What is
Speaker 2: the lead story on Monday? Lead story Monday, Todd, in
Speaker 2: your opinion, will be.
Speaker 14: Concerned about Cooper Flagg's injury and the tournament that's starting.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, Seaton, what's the lead story of this show
Speaker 2: on Monday?
Speaker 9: Oh man, it might be. It's probably gonna be something
Speaker 9: football related.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 9: Maybe Aaron Rodgers still not signing.
Speaker 6: Okay, Marvin Russell Wilson signing with the Giants.
Speaker 5: Okay, Paul trying to go non football teams like North
Speaker 5: Carolina not making the postseason and the heat on those coaches.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, Duke not winning the ACC tournament.
Speaker 3: Maybe that will be the lead.
Speaker 2: I mean, it could be Aaron Rodgers either he has
Speaker 2: sign or he hasn't signed, or if the Lakers lose
Speaker 2: a couple more games, I could see that Lebron's timeframe
Speaker 2: for coming back, you know, because we're starting to get
Speaker 2: to crunch time here now with the number of games left.
Speaker 3: Yes, Marvin, I'm sorry.
Speaker 7: Let me retract teams being snubbed out at NCAA tournament
Speaker 7: even though there's sixty eight of them, and they were like, oh,
Speaker 7: we were eighteen and thirteen. You had plenty of opportunities.
Speaker 7: You have a better record.
Speaker 3: I find it, I don't want to say offensive.
Speaker 2: I find it embarrassing that they want to extend the
Speaker 2: tournament to seventy six schools.
Speaker 3: Stop.
Speaker 2: We went from sixty four to sixty eight, and I
Speaker 2: don't know if anybody voted on it.
Speaker 3: It felt like it was like a I don't know
Speaker 3: anybody gonna notice this. I'm going sixty four to sixty eight. Hey,
Speaker 3: we got sixty eight. What happened there?
Speaker 2: I don't know. It wasn't on my watch. I don't
Speaker 2: eat seventy six. Like, have some exclusivity? Have it mean
Speaker 2: something to make the tournament?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: If you don't, I always say this, if you don't
Speaker 2: make the tournament, your job should be in jeopardy.
Speaker 5: Yes, point, I'm totally against expanding. The tournament is such
Speaker 5: a perfect product. I'll bet you within two months the
Speaker 5: announce the expansion.
Speaker 3: Well, okay.
Speaker 2: We talked to the head of the NCAA, Charlie Baker
Speaker 2: a while ago, and it felt like he was telling
Speaker 2: us without telling us, they were going to go.
Speaker 3: To seventy six.
Speaker 2: It's one of those where you kind of floated out
Speaker 2: and then you see how people react. And I don't
Speaker 2: know if there was that much aversion to it. Bob
Speaker 2: and Montana. Hi, Bob, welcome back.
Speaker 10: Oh hey, DP, while you're talking about cool names, my
Speaker 10: younger daughter's name is Gwenevere. Just in time for Saint
Speaker 10: Patrick's Day. But the real reason I'm calling is if
Speaker 10: you keep your original retirement date of Christmas Eve twenty
Speaker 10: twenty seven, then this March thirtieth, in just two weeks,
Speaker 10: is going to be day number one thousand End County
Speaker 10: until the final show. So I thought you're newlogist Fritzie
Speaker 10: could jump in accident and plan something for that day,
Speaker 10: or maybe you could do a special meat Monday or
Speaker 10: meet Friday before the day.
Speaker 2: Okay, I like that numerology stuff, thank you, Bob. But
Speaker 2: what if I extended to after the super Bowl? Then
Speaker 2: I kind of ruins the thousand Elson show mark, which
Speaker 2: is it's at least.
Speaker 3: On the discussion table.
Speaker 2: It's at least on the discussion table that and I
Speaker 2: haven't spoken to management about this of what if we
Speaker 2: go through the super Bowl. I haven't done that, but
Speaker 2: full transparency with you guys, just letting you know plan accordingly.
Speaker 9: Yeh see, you'd be happier if they said yes or no.
Speaker 3: I don't know that.
Speaker 10: I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know because if they say no, we're not
Speaker 2: going to do that.
Speaker 3: Okay, what I know?
Speaker 2: Then I get I get credit for saying, man, I
Speaker 2: tried at management. They stood in my way. Todd, would
Speaker 2: you learn today.
Speaker 14: You believe the Minnesota Bikon's are holding the Steelers hostess,
Speaker 14: not Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 9: No, see make up your mind Steelers Marvin Carson Wentz
Speaker 9: is a free agent.
Speaker 5: Pull four thousand and threes.
