Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio eight seven seven three DP shows the phone
Speaker 1: number operator Marvin standing by. You can also email tweet
Speaker 1: we say good morning to Peacock or a streaming partner
Speaker 1: and our radio affiliates around the country, including Madison, Wisconsin, Chico, California,
Speaker 1: and Radford, Virginia. Poll question McLevin, who felt like the
Speaker 1: biggest winner last night? Sixty five percents A mac Jones,
Speaker 1: thirty one percent Tom Brady and only two percent Bill Belichick.
Speaker 1: Well he did stop Brady. I mean, if you but this,
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick doesn't deal in moral victories. Tom Brady doesn't.
Speaker 1: Mac Jones maybe privately feels like, Man, I went toe
Speaker 1: to toe with Tom Brady in the biggest game that
Speaker 1: I've had in the NFL, one of the biggest games
Speaker 1: of my career, and he's got to feel good about that.
Speaker 1: I don't like the fact that they didn't go for
Speaker 1: it on fourth and three. And here's the math in
Speaker 1: case you're just joining us. I've mentioned this twice already,
Speaker 1: but it's fourth and three. They're a little less than
Speaker 1: a minute to go, and if you go for it,
Speaker 1: even if you don't get it, at least you've gone
Speaker 1: for it, because I don't want Brady getting the ball back.
Speaker 1: We're going to try to kick a fifty six yard
Speaker 1: or in the rain, and then we're going to give
Speaker 1: Brady a little less than a minute to go with
Speaker 1: two timeouts. I don't like that. It feels like gaining
Speaker 1: three or four yards is a little more attainable than
Speaker 1: a fifty six yard field goal. Peter King joined us
Speaker 1: in the first hour and he said that the word
Speaker 1: was nick folk. His plant leg was not one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: So I'm asking my field goal kicker, who is not
Speaker 1: a long field goal kicker, to go out there in
Speaker 1: the rain with a plant leg that's not one hundred percent,
Speaker 1: and if he makes it, Tom Brady still has fifty
Speaker 1: five seconds to go and kick the game winning field goal.
Speaker 1: Mac Jones was doing a great job. There was a
Speaker 1: comfort zone there. But Bill Belichick was asked about why
Speaker 1: he didn't go for it. Was there any consideration of
Speaker 1: going for it on the lot for it down when
Speaker 1: you kick the field at the end, I mean not really. Okay,
Speaker 1: first of all, it's a fair question, and that you
Speaker 1: didn't have any thought on that. You should like, I'm shocked.
Speaker 1: Now he might say, yeah, we did give it some thought,
Speaker 1: but but he doesn't want to be questioned on strategy,
Speaker 1: Like who were you to ask me something about strategy.
Speaker 1: That's a legitimate question, And hopefully somebody follows up today
Speaker 1: or tomorrow when Belichick gets in front of the media,
Speaker 1: because I am curious, like, if I just do the
Speaker 1: football math here, of I don't want Tom Brady to
Speaker 1: have the ball back, I feel better about my quarterback,
Speaker 1: who has played really well, outplayed Brady getting four yards,
Speaker 1: and then we keep the clock moving, we get in
Speaker 1: better field position for an easier field goal, instead of
Speaker 1: let's take a chance and if he makes it, what happens,
Speaker 1: Brady still gets the ball back with fifty five seconds
Speaker 1: to go. That's all I mean. The media is covering
Speaker 1: the wrong thing today. Did they did they hug? How
Speaker 1: long did they hug for that? That's not the story.
Speaker 1: The story is the actual game itself, the strategy here,
Speaker 1: and I don't get it. I don't get it at all.
Speaker 1: You had a reporter who came in late to the
Speaker 1: press conference that didn't go well. Here's here's that reporter,
Speaker 1: Hey Bill, I may have missed it. I just got
Speaker 1: got in here earlier, but um, what did you see
Speaker 1: you seeing Tom Brady play so many games over so long,
Speaker 1: this game with all the emotions and obviously the chess
Speaker 1: match against you, what what did you see from Tom
Speaker 1: tonight that that may have kept it as competitive as
Speaker 1: it was? Yeah, I think we already covered that. That's
Speaker 1: one of my first questions. First of all, first of
Speaker 1: all asked the question, Oh, like, that's one of those
Speaker 1: big wind ups. And then you know, you throw a
Speaker 1: forty eight mile in our fenceball? Do you? I mean,
Speaker 1: do you really think that's where? Don't you ask a
Speaker 1: reporter who's there? Hey? Has anybody asked this? How many
Speaker 1: questions are we in here? Like? Bright, that's Tom? Sorry,
Speaker 1: I just got and you may have already answered this.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, buddy, you can't give you can't give
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick that. Yes, Lob does that report? I think
Speaker 1: nobody asked about Tom Brady. Bill, I'm a little late here.
Speaker 1: Did anybody ask about Tom Brady? Uh? What just you tonight?
Speaker 1: From Tom? We've already we've already covered them. Yes, and
Speaker 1: you're asking it in a nervous apologetic way, especially for
Speaker 1: someone who's kind of a bully. If you're dealing with
Speaker 1: the Belichick type, you better at least bring some confidence
Speaker 1: to the inflection in your voice. If you don't know
Speaker 1: if it's been asked, then you have to ask somebody
Speaker 1: next to you. You just do and you have to
Speaker 1: assume that it's been asked and ask about next week's
Speaker 1: opponent without the bat Yeah, Hey, Bill, you onto your
Speaker 1: next game? Isn't it interesting? Like? And I know you've
Speaker 1: been through this the only times when you have to
Speaker 1: calculus of where do I go? Do I go to
Speaker 1: the opposing locker room? Do I go to the coaches
Speaker 1: press conference? I'm sure you've run into the situation hundreds
Speaker 1: of times. Yes, do you go into the losing locker room?
Speaker 1: Usually the losing locker room is the more interesting one.
Speaker 1: And I would have gone into Belichick's press conference before
Speaker 1: I would have gone into Brady's because I might get
Speaker 1: something out of Belichick, who talks about the night the
Speaker 1: strategy Mac Jones. Brady's just going to say, basically, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, I appreciate coming back, thanks for the outpouring.
Speaker 1: We're just happy to get a win. Bill might give
Speaker 1: you a little bit more there, but you can't you
Speaker 1: can't go in there and go, hey, I just want
Speaker 1: to I don't know if this has been asked or not,
Speaker 1: but as soon as I heard that, I go, oh,
Speaker 1: this is not going to go well. Not going to
Speaker 1: go well. Eight seven seven three d P show email
Speaker 1: address DP at dan Patrick dot com. And by the way,
Speaker 1: I've been in these moments, I've made these mistakes. So
Speaker 1: it's not like I go oh, holier than now, as
Speaker 1: I have preached to my students at Full Sale University
Speaker 1: to the Danats, just ask the damn question. Don't surround it.
Speaker 1: Just ask the question. What surprised you about Tom Brady tonight? Anything,
Speaker 1: But don't do a big wind up. So you ask
Speaker 1: a question, answer a question, then ask a question not good?
Speaker 1: Ask answer asking horrible? Horrible? You want to get on
Speaker 1: my bad side? Do that, Todd? I would know anything
Speaker 1: about that? Yes, you would? You lead the league and
Speaker 1: ask answer, I'm going to send you to Full Sale
Speaker 1: University for a year. Can we can we send Todd
Speaker 1: to a Patriots game and have him ask Bill, He'll
Speaker 1: never get credentialed. I don't think we could get you
Speaker 1: credentialed when that happens. How much of it is just
Speaker 1: a bad rambling question versus the media person is trying
Speaker 1: to feel like the show off knowledge or something. They're
Speaker 1: saying a bunch of things to show things that they
Speaker 1: like already know and want you to know that they're
Speaker 1: the god intelligent Dodd, you just did the damn same
Speaker 1: damn thing. That's an example of what you don't do.
Speaker 1: Don't do that if you're in the sports and media industry.
Speaker 1: Ask answer and ask if that was a purpose that
Speaker 1: was genius Todd, But it wasn't on profits no, because
Speaker 1: he went, oh I did, Yeah, I just love it.
Speaker 1: I've talked to the Patriots PR person before about one.
Speaker 1: Todd Fritz same as anybody NFL team Todd friends. Todd
Speaker 1: Fritz haunts my nightmares. He will get hit he will
Speaker 1: hit up Stacy James. It's two am every every Sunday
Speaker 1: for ten years. There's no way he's getting your creditial.
Speaker 1: He's public enemy number one to Stacy James, who is
Speaker 1: the PR director, the media director for the pager. I'm
Speaker 1: always very polite. Sometimes it's in an off hour, but
Speaker 1: since I'm not like waking them up in the middle
Speaker 1: of night. There's a message if they get it, If
Speaker 1: they're up. If not, they'll get it in the next morning.
Speaker 1: Did you ask for Belichick today? I always ask for Belia,
Speaker 1: all right? You never know when you never know. I
Speaker 1: know that's that's my life model. You never know. When
Speaker 1: I always tell you you might be doing more damage.
Speaker 1: You might make it tougher to actually get somebody because
Speaker 1: the PR person is probably gonna go, oh God. But
Speaker 1: if you get the response like you just want to
Speaker 1: let you know. I don't want to waste your time.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're pursuing other guests. This is never we're
Speaker 1: gonna happen, or it's not gonna happen this year, then
Speaker 1: I would stop. But if it's like thanks for asking,
Speaker 1: he's unavailable, that invites me to continue. I know they're
Speaker 1: trying to be polite. Eventually maybe he'll be available. No,
Speaker 1: he's not going to be available. He's not. But I
Speaker 1: always tell you to pick your spots. Just pick your spots. Tough.
Speaker 1: It's tough for me to do. I know. I like
Speaker 1: to believe that anything is possible unless I get an absolute,
Speaker 1: definitive no. But when the Great Bill Murray pulls me
Speaker 1: aside and says, this guy Todd Fritz tell him to
Speaker 1: stop calling, and I go, okay, I will Bill. He said, please, Bill.
Speaker 1: Bill's never serious about anything, and here he's saying please.
Speaker 1: It was one of the most maybe his most dramatic
Speaker 1: role ever. If you said Bill was still on that
Speaker 1: in the movie, you'd go, my god, is he dramatic?
Speaker 1: If I just get a response, if to get back
Speaker 1: to me the time we fashion, I'm really, you know,
Speaker 1: my bark is much worse than my bite. I'm just
Speaker 1: asking for a response to not respond that invites me
Speaker 1: to continue to follow up. Maybe he didn't get the
Speaker 1: message and it was deleted by accident. I think I
Speaker 1: just figured out what Bill Murray said to Scarlett Johanson
Speaker 1: at the end of Los Angeles. Please have Fritzie stopped
Speaker 1: calling me? If you know Dan Patrick at all, That's
Speaker 1: what he whispered. If you had to ask the question
Speaker 1: the last two undefeated teams in the NFL this season,
Speaker 1: I don't think many people would have guessed that it
Speaker 1: would be the Cardinals and the Raiders. The Raiders play tonight.
Speaker 1: Cardinals won yesterday Vegas, an underdog Tonight at home against
Speaker 1: the Chargers. We could have only one undefeated team after
Speaker 1: tonight and it's a three point line. But what they
Speaker 1: did yesterday against the Rams, they dominated a team a
Speaker 1: lot of people think are going to be the favorites
Speaker 1: to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. Cardinals have
Speaker 1: collected a lot of talent on offense. They got pass catchers.
Speaker 1: You got Dalandery Hopkins, JJ Green, Christian Kurt Rondale More
Speaker 1: a rookie tight end. Max Williams is playing well. They
Speaker 1: got a run game with Chase Edmonds, James Conna. The
Speaker 1: defense impressive against the Rams offense. I don't normally give
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury a lot of credit, but I have to
Speaker 1: on this because he's had a lot of doubters. Right
Speaker 1: now he's coaching maybe the most impressive team in the NFL.
Speaker 1: It's only four weeks, but you still have to have
Speaker 1: those little check marks where you go, how did you
Speaker 1: do against that team? When the Packers went to San
Speaker 1: Francisco and won, that's a check mark where you go, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, there's some account accountability there being able to
Speaker 1: do that in a big moment. The Rams have Seattle
Speaker 1: this weekend, mcclevend or, they have San Francisco. Rams are
Speaker 1: at Seattle Thursday at oh man, how good it is? Then? Yeah,
Speaker 1: did you walk away from the Rams? Cardo's worry about
Speaker 1: the Rams now because they were they were the hot team? No, No,
Speaker 1: it takes a lot to get worried about a team.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're owing four, you know they just
Speaker 1: shut down Tom Brady and company. Yes, time. Now, after
Speaker 1: that Rams lost to the Cardinals, do you want the
Speaker 1: extra time to prepare for another division opponent or you
Speaker 1: want to quickly get that loss out of your system
Speaker 1: and play up three days four days later? You asked
Speaker 1: that was good, wasn't it? And then you gave me
Speaker 1: two options. I thought that was okay. No, if you're
Speaker 1: the Rams, are you glad that you're playing on Thursday?
Speaker 1: Or would you prefer to have the extra No? No, no,
Speaker 1: that's just what's the question. My question is is it
Speaker 1: in the rams best interest to go right out and
Speaker 1: play a game on Thursday? Okay, it gets a division
Speaker 1: moment after losing badly to the Cardinal at home? Can
Speaker 1: we edit this and I can play it in front
Speaker 1: of my studentship? Yeah, like you want to know what
Speaker 1: not to do right here? Yes, Boie, last year Arizona
Speaker 1: Cardinals they were five, and I think they were five
Speaker 1: and two. They just won. They beat in New York
Speaker 1: to beat Dallas, beat Seattle, and then they had a
Speaker 1: bye week, and everyone's on the bandwagon. I think I
Speaker 1: was yelling about Kyler Murray for the MVP. Then they
Speaker 1: lost four of the next five, you know, and it
Speaker 1: cooled off a lot. Yeah. Uh, you know it's a
Speaker 1: tough division. But you know, you have to have a
Speaker 1: couple of statement games, and they they had a statement
Speaker 1: game yesterday. I mean, if you're thinking about could it
Speaker 1: have gone any better, I'd say no. And you know
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, I said, if you're three and one, that's great,
Speaker 1: and I said they could be eight and two after
Speaker 1: ten games. You've got a legitimate cornerback, you've got a
Speaker 1: legitimate linebacker. You got a running game that keeps the
Speaker 1: defense off the field. Dak looks really good. They look
Speaker 1: like they look better every week. They feel more well
Speaker 1: rounded as a team. They're in a division that's not
Speaker 1: very good. Even though the Giants won that game and
Speaker 1: Washington Football team won their game as well, but you know,
Speaker 1: you got it. You got the Giants come into town
Speaker 1: next week, and then you got the Patriots, and then
Speaker 1: you have a bye week. But if you're looking at
Speaker 1: the Cowboys now you have every reason to believe in
Speaker 1: that offense. And Trayvon Diggs and Micah Parsons just having
Speaker 1: two of those guys. We look at the Rams defense
Speaker 1: and you got Jalen Ramsey and Aaron Donald. That's all
Speaker 1: you want. Give me two impact players on defense. And
Speaker 1: as long as you have decent players around these great players.
Speaker 1: If I have a cornerback who takes away one side
Speaker 1: of the field, what a weapon. And then Micah Parsons
Speaker 1: line him up in a variety of places, you know,
Speaker 1: disguise what you do, make them, you know, keep an
Speaker 1: eye on him and Dak and you know, zeke I
Speaker 1: love Pollard. You run the football. You got those wide receivers,
Speaker 1: you got a tight end like you know, they're formidable.
Speaker 1: But maybe they're going to be an eight and two
Speaker 1: team after ten games, which may surprise some people. All Right,
Speaker 1: we'll take a break, we'll come back. We'll give you
Speaker 1: our best and worst of the weekend and more of
Speaker 1: your phone calls as well. Sixteen after the hour here

Speaker 1: the Peacock Act. The other thing is Alabama being this
Speaker 1: good good for college football because they haven't No one's
Speaker 1: really challenging them yet. Or is that because the teams
Speaker 1: aren't great. It feels like Georgia and Alabama separated themselves.
Speaker 1: Alabama always does. It feels like Georgia, like those two
Speaker 1: meet in the SEC title game. The loser is still
Speaker 1: going to play in the Final four. I think they're
Speaker 1: that good, Yes to and now I explained such a
Speaker 1: drop off. I know they lost Trevor Lawrence, but not
Speaker 1: even the top twenty five Clemson anymore, and struggling to
Speaker 1: get past Boston College. I'm watching that game. Boston College
Speaker 1: should have won it. I mean, I watched a lot
Speaker 1: of college football. I watched KSE State in Oklahoma. I
Speaker 1: watched Notre Dame Cincinnati, Cincinnati. That's a that's a really
Speaker 1: good defense, and that's one of those where you go, man,
Speaker 1: they must have everything going their way. They didn't get lucky.
Speaker 1: They were better than Notre Dame. They looked faster than
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. Ritter is a good quarterback for them, and
Speaker 1: Luke Fickle has done a wonderful job there at Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: The Oregon game, I kept going, is Oregon gonna wake
Speaker 1: up and realize you're gonna throw away an opportunity to
Speaker 1: be in the final four play for a national championship. Yikes?
Speaker 1: Not good? Not good? Bill Belichick was he met with
Speaker 1: the media this morning, and I wondered if people would
Speaker 1: follow up on what should be the storyline of this game,
Speaker 1: Belichick not going forward and fourth and three because everybody
Speaker 1: is looking at one storyline? Did Brading Belichick hug? How
Speaker 1: about the game itself? Fourth and three under a minute ago?
Speaker 1: Go for it? Here's Bill Belichick this morning, just on
Speaker 1: the decision that kicked the fifty six yard or how
Speaker 1: much was there any thought that even if Nick makes
Speaker 1: that that, do we want to give the ball back
Speaker 1: to the offense, Like when you're making that decision, is
Speaker 1: that even part of the consideration or is it simply
Speaker 1: the kick the kick itself you know can make. Is
Speaker 1: it's the distance we want to go from here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I really want much of a decision there, and we
Speaker 1: converted to third downs in the game. Nick had kicked. Well, no,
Speaker 1: that wasn't any consideration, all right, apparently no consideration and whatsoever.
Speaker 1: You know, it's not like he's waffling. He stayed with
Speaker 1: the same answer there. I don't agree with it, but
Speaker 1: I don't want Brady to have the ball back with
Speaker 1: fifty five seconds to go in two time outs. Just don't. Yeah.
Speaker 1: See it's interesting to hear him say that too, because
Speaker 1: you're like, hey, you know, what a great time to
Speaker 1: show like I believe in this quarterback, in this offense
Speaker 1: and we can get that ball. And he's like, no, no,
Speaker 1: I don't believe in that. Yeah, he's like, we only
Speaker 1: got two. We converted two third downs the whole game.
Speaker 1: There's like almost no chance we were going to get that.
Speaker 1: And do we really think he's going to admit to
Speaker 1: a mistake where he goes you know, on second thought,
Speaker 1: we should have gone for Like, he's not going to
Speaker 1: do that. If they had gone for it and didn't
Speaker 1: get it, oh, I would have no problem. It's a
Speaker 1: fifty six yarder in the rain. I don't want Tom
Speaker 1: Brady to have the ball back. That's all I kept.
Speaker 1: I always look at how much time is left on
Speaker 1: the clock for these great quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers got
Speaker 1: a minute left timeouts. Oh that's not good, Russell Wilson, Nope,
Speaker 1: that's not good. There's a there's a certain group of
Speaker 1: quarterbacks where you go, oh, we love too much time
Speaker 1: on the clock. Yeah, mclub, especially because they get four
Speaker 1: downs in that situation. Yeah, that makes it much harder
Speaker 1: to stop them. Bit Yeah, you're gonna run the clock down.
Speaker 1: You're gonna kick a field goal. That's more manageable. And
Speaker 1: I don't get Brady the opportunity to beat me. And
Speaker 1: you get that first down. Imagine you get that first down.
Speaker 1: I mean, now you you're gonna have a reason. You
Speaker 1: can run the ball a couple of times. Put it
Speaker 1: on the hash mark where you want to. Now you
Speaker 1: have a little better chance. Fifty six yarder in the rain.
Speaker 1: Didn't like it at all, but more importantly, going for
Speaker 1: it keeps the ball away from Tom Brady. Best and
Speaker 1: worst of the weekend, Todd, I'll start with you my
Speaker 1: best of the weekend. Texas running back b Jean Robinson
Speaker 1: rushes for a career high two hundred and sixteen DA TCU.
Speaker 1: The Longhorns take down the horn Frogs thirty two twenty seven,
Speaker 1: also two tds for Robinson. Worst the previously eighth ranked
Speaker 1: Razorbacks a no show and happens. I know we mentioned
Speaker 1: it earlier, getting blank thirty seven nothing. The Bulldogs had
Speaker 1: a twenty one nothing lead after one quarter and didn't
Speaker 1: even have injured quarterback J T. Daniels Mick Lovin. I
Speaker 1: don't know if this is best or worse, but my
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles, Jail and Hurts had three touchdowns taken off
Speaker 1: the board and still ended up with almost four hundred
Speaker 1: yards and two tds. He's had six tds taken off
Speaker 1: the board because of penalties this year. The Eagles are
Speaker 1: having a penalty problem. He's actually sneaky, playing really well,
Speaker 1: and the retz of the team is not good. The
Speaker 1: worst is definitely I was so excited for old Miss
Speaker 1: Alabama and Mississippi just couldn't compete from pretty much see
Speaker 1: they had some chances, but not so good. And then
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin said get your pompcorn ready prior to and
Speaker 1: then the mascot brought out a big thing of popcorn there.
Speaker 1: Did you see the CBS guys all had popcorn in
Speaker 1: front of them for their pregame show, like like New
Speaker 1: highs Oh god time. But even after the popcorning remark,
Speaker 1: he threw down his headset and ran away. Just he
Speaker 1: was asking him like one more because what's the big
Speaker 1: surprise you have for just threw his headstone. Yeah, there
Speaker 1: was a promo right after the games on CBS. Tune
Speaker 1: in next week Arkansas versus Old Miss number three versus
Speaker 1: number six. They didn't factor in where they're gonna drop to.
Speaker 1: I was like, you're better get that from up now.
Speaker 1: With those rankings Seaton Best and Worst of the Weekend's funny.
Speaker 1: My best of the weekend that touchdown Lamar Jackson to
Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown forty nine yards. That catch was just Hollywood
Speaker 1: Brown cop one. Dude, that's a hell of a catch though.
Speaker 1: Good grief, um. And the worst of the weekend is
Speaker 1: actually me last night watching the game and there was
Speaker 1: this moment where you know, like you do the whole
Speaker 1: pregame and you're like, oh look Tommy, and you cry
Speaker 1: and you're like we love you, and then the game
Speaker 1: starts and you're supposed to like switch gears back into
Speaker 1: Patriot because Patriot fans. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're Patriots fans, right,
Speaker 1: And so we're watching the game and there's this moment
Speaker 1: in the game where Leonard Fournette he has a run
Speaker 1: to the right but then cuts back to the left
Speaker 1: and like sort of gets around the corner and runs
Speaker 1: in for the first down. And I'm watching and I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, there you go, kid, good run. And my
Speaker 1: family looked at me, like, what the hell is wrong
Speaker 1: with you? Which team are you rooting for? And I
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know. I got all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: I got so confused. I was like, who am I?
Speaker 1: Who are we right now? What are we doing? Who
Speaker 1: are very confusing? Paulist Works of the Weekend The Kentucky
Speaker 1: Wildcats twenty to thirteen over the Florida Gators. Not so
Speaker 1: much for the score, but that Kentucky crowd was awesome.
Speaker 1: That looked like a big time SEC football game. They're
Speaker 1: five and oh, very cool experience at the Kentucky football game.
Speaker 1: And then my Iowa Hawkeyes Dan, this is the biggest
Speaker 1: weekend in Iowa Hawkeyes football history. And I'm basing that
Speaker 1: off no research whatsoever. They are five and Oh, they've
Speaker 1: handled everybody. They're a top five school. They have number
Speaker 1: four Penn State and My National TV next week, and
Speaker 1: then they have Perdue, Wisconsin, Northwestern Minnesota, Illinois, Nebraska. The
Speaker 1: season gets easier and easier. This is the biggest week
Speaker 1: in Iowahawkeye history. I was watching the Wisconsin game and
Speaker 1: Michigan look great. You keep thinking, Okay, when's Wisconsin gonna
Speaker 1: act like Wisconsin. They're not going to Barry in Long Island,
Speaker 1: Hi Verry, welcome back. Best and worst of the weekend,
Speaker 1: Good Morning Sellers. Despite contrary belief, more happened than New
Speaker 1: England and Tommy jay E t s Jets. Jets, Jets

Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter and overtime, got a ways to go,
Speaker 1: but he gave us what we want. Hope, Yeah, thank you, Barry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean the Jets look good. I mean they look

Speaker 1: my best, right, my worst is I don't know if
Speaker 1: you can talk to the scholar mclovin to see what
Speaker 1: an oxymoron is. What is the definition of neutral zone?
Speaker 1: Is the neutral zone not neutral? Because they line up
Speaker 1: in the neutral zone and they get a flag for it.
Speaker 1: Mcloven do you want to answer the neutral zone? No,
Speaker 1: but that's a brilliant point. Why is lining up in
Speaker 1: the neutral zone of Fenally you should be able to
Speaker 1: be totally safe in the neutral We both be allowed
Speaker 1: in here. Yeah, it's like he lined up in the
Speaker 1: safe zone if it's safe. Yeah, what a great question.

Speaker 1: I don't know, we're struggling. I mean, it's pretty sad.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not gonna blame the PAC twelve officiating,

Speaker 1: a best of the weekend? Well, I'd have to say
Speaker 1: the best of the weekends of baseball. And I know
Speaker 1: that the Mariners didn't make it in the playoffs, but
Speaker 1: it sure gave everyone a reason to show up to
Speaker 1: T Mobile Park and just a whole baseball weekend long
Speaker 1: was good. It was. It was a lot of fun,
Speaker 1: a lot of drama there, and I look forward to
Speaker 1: these one game showdowns coming up this week eight seven
Speaker 1: seven three d P show email address DPA Dan Patrick
Speaker 1: dot com, Jason in New York II Jason, best and
Speaker 1: worst of the weekend of best of the weekend, good
Speaker 1: game and by the way, by seven, well not do
Speaker 1: is a stout? Maybe six keep fat, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: The best years of the weekend is the delete Raiser
Speaker 1: commercial during the game last night, and there you go,
Speaker 1: thank you, Jason. Yes, mcglove, I noticed it's commercialized already
Speaker 1: to seton get a cut of that. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It feels like they are people picking up on his
Speaker 1: al michaels impersonation. So funny. I'm watching that too, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, did you hear that? I'm saying to like
Speaker 1: my wife, I'm like, did you hear he just said? There?
Speaker 1: There he goes. He's like, yeah, like no, no, she
Speaker 1: just said, that's like the impression. He just said, yeah, wait,
Speaker 1: that's mine. No, It's like I've been doing that on
Speaker 1: the show. It's been killing you. Yeah, that's good. Mcleven
Speaker 1: wanted to know about home teams struggling so far and
Speaker 1: then in the NFL, and if you look at the
Speaker 1: home and roads split through the first four games of
Speaker 1: the season, this year is the fifth lowest home winning
Speaker 1: percentage of all time. Nineteen eighty three is tops, then
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen is second, nineteen seventy eight, nineteen seventy one,
Speaker 1: and this year the winning percentage for the home team
Speaker 1: is less than fifty percent. Forty seven percent of the
Speaker 1: time the home team wins. Is that right, McLevin? That's right?
Speaker 1: But why I'm last year they said there were no crowds. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so there's really no explanation I could think of Ted
Speaker 1: and Tampa back with this high Ted, what's on your mind? Hey?
Speaker 1: Defee A good good show. Best and worst the weekend.
Speaker 1: My best was my step on Polly's toes, but my
Speaker 1: Kentucky Wildcats beating Florida, And as you know, only Kentucky
Speaker 1: and Florida are the only two NC Double A teams
Speaker 1: to have won the basketball and football championships in the
Speaker 1: same year. My worst of the weekend was Sunday Yesterday
Speaker 1: was the twenty eighth anniversary of the Operation Gothic Serpent,
Speaker 1: which was made famous in the movie Blackhawk Down. All Right, well,
Speaker 1: thank you, Ted. You bad appreciate that. We're gonna stay
Speaker 1: with that poll question, Mick Lovin, we have some more options.
Speaker 1: What else do you do you want? NFL? Okay, we
Speaker 1: did well. You had ad a college football I was Alabama?
Speaker 1: Could Alabama compete? Uh? The NFL? We didn't get really
Speaker 1: into the Week four MVP watch yet because it's starting
Speaker 1: to heat up. I'm going to against Kyler Murray is Ray.
Speaker 1: MVP talk was rapid, but there's some sneaky MVP candids. Okay,
Speaker 1: if Derek Carr wins tonight and plays well, then Derek
Speaker 1: Carr should be on that MVP list. But want no
Speaker 1: you know, I hate MVP early season MVP talk. But
Speaker 1: do you know who leads the NFL in passer rating
Speaker 1: and has never gotten an MVP vote and is sneakily
Speaker 1: at once again having great stats. Russell Wilson Junior the
Speaker 1: third How could he be doing this? We don't even notice,
Speaker 1: Like I didn't think he was playing well this year,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden he has the best passer
Speaker 1: rating in the NFL by a long stretch. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: has never been First Team All Pro. I don't think
Speaker 1: in his career I would say. I mean, there aren't
Speaker 1: many quarterbacks who go to the Hall of Fame who
Speaker 1: who weren't First Team All Pro at least once. But
Speaker 1: that's not true. Yeah, see how many first team All
Speaker 1: Pro quarterbacks? Though? Is the storyline still? When are they
Speaker 1: going to let him really throw the ball? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: think it's going to be his entire career. You gonna
Speaker 1: let him cook or what? I think they give him
Speaker 1: a TV dinner, Like they just go here, cook that
Speaker 1: and that's about it. But he somehow makes things happen.
Speaker 1: And I mean it wasn't a pretty game, but you
Speaker 1: know those are the games. I mean, you gotta win
Speaker 1: those games, and somehow they were able to. I think
Speaker 1: he's got nine touchdowns no interceptions so far this season. Yeah, exactly, yes,
Speaker 1: And the only difference instead of going ten and six,
Speaker 1: they'll go ten and seven. Wow, they will make the playoffs. Though.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm first team All Ross, but they all
Speaker 1: it seems like ten wins a year a standard procedure.
Speaker 1: He I think he's had has he had less than
Speaker 1: ten wins in a season because he's the quickest to
Speaker 1: one hundred wins in NFL history with quarterbacks. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: a club. But you know how you always say it's
Speaker 1: a narrative award like Kyler Murray. Seems like the great
Speaker 1: story so far, right, Yeah, you know everything. So I
Speaker 1: thought Russ was going to win the MVP last year.
Speaker 1: He peaked too early. Yeah he did. Yeah. Paully Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson's worst season at the starting quarterback is nine and seven.
Speaker 1: He's had a couple ten win seasons, couple eleven, thirteen, one, twelve.
Speaker 1: But did they go nine and seven still make the playoffs?
Speaker 1: And Day hosted the Saints that year. No, the year
Speaker 1: they went nine and seven, they missed the playoffs, says
Speaker 1: the only time in his career missed the playoffs. All Right,
Speaker 1: we'll take a break. More phone calls coming up next.

Speaker 1: get your podcasts. San Francisco had to win one hundred
Speaker 1: and seven games, most binational league team since the eighty
Speaker 1: six Mets, and no one expected anything from this team.
Speaker 1: I think they were predicted to win seventy five games
Speaker 1: by Baseball Prospectus to start the season. Most casual fans
Speaker 1: don't know the team that well. I'm included Buster Posey
Speaker 1: is still there. The Giants last won the division in
Speaker 1: twenty twelve, and that was in the midst of their
Speaker 1: three championship run in the early part of the twenty tens.
Speaker 1: This team has a similar vibe with a different manager.
Speaker 1: They don't have Bruce Bocci. They have a team that
Speaker 1: is sort of devoid of stars like the Dodgers or Yankees,
Speaker 1: but it's a team that pitches well and plays well
Speaker 1: in that ballpark. We'll see what happens with the Dodgers
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals at wild card matchup and Max Scherzer
Speaker 1: on the mount against Adam Wainwright, and maybe we're headed
Speaker 1: for in La San Francisco Divisional Series showdown. Not the
Speaker 1: matchup we expected, But I don't think anybody would complain
Speaker 1: if the two best teams in baseball this season went
Speaker 1: head to head. And I know baseball is not going
Speaker 1: to go to this with the seating or reseating of teams,
Speaker 1: but I do think that you need to have some
Speaker 1: benefits for playing for the entire season and putting up
Speaker 1: those kind of numbers. There. How about a baseball perspectives.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Jimmy Jimmerson, who is our resident in
Speaker 1: house Baseball and he's just an analyst and all around
Speaker 1: an analyst. And let me go to Jimmy Jimmerson. Jimmy,
Speaker 1: what do you think of the wild card situation in baseball? Well,
Speaker 1: right now, I'm and it's a must win game for
Speaker 1: both teams. Yes it is. Yeah, yes, So I'd be
Speaker 1: curious to know if they're saving any starting pitching for
Speaker 1: the next game. But this, this right now feels like
Speaker 1: must win territory factually true. Thank you, jim back to you.
Speaker 1: That's Jimmy Jimmerson saying absolutely nothing cashing a good check. Oh,
Speaker 1: there were a few Jimmy Jimmerson's yesterday when I'm watching,
Speaker 1: They're like, you know, um, it had to do with
Speaker 1: throwing the football. He can beat you in the air
Speaker 1: throwing the football. And I go, as opposed to, what,
Speaker 1: well with arm talent like that, he can beat you
Speaker 1: in the air throwing the football. It's funny how the
Speaker 1: more you think about it, the more stuff just jumps
Speaker 1: out at you, like, oh that actually mean though, Yeah,
Speaker 1: now I'm ruined. Whenever I'm listening to a game and
Speaker 1: I'll just hear somebody, you know, they'll they'll say something,
Speaker 1: you know what, they got a great running game when
Speaker 1: they run the ball. What that ground game is really
Speaker 1: impressive when they run the football. The offensive line's really
Speaker 1: important in this really. Oh, there's a lot of Jimmy
Speaker 1: Jimmerson's out there making a lot of money being Jimmy Jimmerson.
Speaker 1: A couple more phone calls in here. Do we have
Speaker 1: the Yankees Red Sox pitching matchup? Do we know who's
Speaker 1: who's gonna Yeah, you got this is the slab eight
Speaker 1: pm Eastern Tuesday, Tuesday Night. As they say, well now
Speaker 1: towing the slab, Garrett Cole versus Nathan Eovaldi. It's almost
Speaker 1: a pick him game. The odds are pretty close in
Speaker 1: Boston though. Probable pitchers for Cardinals Dodgers Adam Wainwright, who
Speaker 1: is ancient, but he's seventeen and seven with a three
Speaker 1: r A this year, you know. And Max Scherzer, big
Speaker 1: one for Max. Yep, there's no tomorrow, literally no tomorrow.
Speaker 1: There is no tomorrow. This is why you got Max Scherzer.
Speaker 1: See I'm just getting ahead of this. You know, when
Speaker 1: you get ready to talk about that game, you know,
Speaker 1: this is why you got Max chers or he's a
Speaker 1: big game pitcher. I don't think the Dodgers wanted to
Speaker 1: be in a one game playoff where they would use
Speaker 1: Max Scherzer and say this is why you got him here.
Speaker 1: But I don't like the one game playoff, but I
Speaker 1: do love watching it. I don't think it's fair to
Speaker 1: the teams. When's the last time you had somebody who
Speaker 1: had at least one hundred and six games didn't win
Speaker 1: the division. Has that ever happened whomember we did the
Speaker 1: list of Yeah, but I don't think any of them
Speaker 1: had one hundred and six. We'll double check that. I
Speaker 1: don't think so. But I just remember at the beginning
Speaker 1: of the season it was a foregone conclusion the Dodgers
Speaker 1: going to win that division because maybe the Padres would
Speaker 1: challenge them. I guess there's there's a little bit of
Speaker 1: talk that Bruce Bocci would come out of retirement to
Speaker 1: manage the Podres school. I don't know. I mean, I
Speaker 1: always trust Bob Nightingale. If Bob Nightingale writes something about
Speaker 1: about Bruce Bocci, didn't believe it. You know, the White
Speaker 1: Sox brought back Tony Larusa, But I don't know if
Speaker 1: Bruce you know, it's weird. I had heard this. This
Speaker 1: is I don't know how many months ago, when I
Speaker 1: was in Arizona and I was with some people, and
Speaker 1: I was at a restaurant and Bruce Bocchi was there,
Speaker 1: and somebody said, uh, oh, did you see Bruce. I
Speaker 1: go now, I don't want to bother. He was on
Speaker 1: the other side of the restaurant and I asked somebody,
Speaker 1: I said, is he going to manage again? And the
Speaker 1: person I was, one of the people I was with, said,
Speaker 1: with the right situation, he would, and I go, okay,
Speaker 1: I mean I just filed it away. And then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I saw, you know, Padres may reach
Speaker 1: out to Bruce Bochi, which, sure, why not? Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame manager? Absolutely, A couple more phone calls, best and
Speaker 1: worst of the weekend, and we have a stat of
Speaker 1: the day. Curtain Florida joins us with a stat of
Speaker 1: the day, Kurt, Good morning, what do you have for me? Hey,
Speaker 1: good morning, Dan. How are you doing? Great? Great? Great Dan?
Speaker 1: The Florida game, Florida daters right before the halftime. There
Speaker 1: was a kind of a meaningless play and there were
Speaker 1: three defensive penalties on one play and the announcers had
Speaker 1: never heard about it, had never heard of that before.
Speaker 1: Three different penalties, three different penalties offside, illegal use of
Speaker 1: hands and pass interference on nothing played with you know,
Speaker 1: nothing left on the clock. It took five minutes to settle.
Speaker 1: The amouncers had nothing to say. No, that's the stat
Speaker 1: of the day, Kurt. All right, Well, maybe statsink can
Speaker 1: help us with that. McLeman. Thank you, Kurt, for stat
Speaker 1: of the Day. I thought it was going to get
Speaker 1: a little bit more, but that's okay, Yes, McLeman, they
Speaker 1: could stop calling illegal use of hands on four out
Speaker 1: of every five place. By the way, I don't even
Speaker 1: know what it means. Nobody does, and they call it
Speaker 1: every play thought every play is it is all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, like the main penalty in football, and I
Speaker 1: don't even know what anybody understands what it means. I
Speaker 1: know you can't touch a guy's helmet or something, but
Speaker 1: these these officials are not changing. Like if they look
Speaker 1: at replay, it doesn't feel like they're overturning much. No,
Speaker 1: it seems like a philosophy this year. Yeah. Also roughing
Speaker 1: the passer. If your hand grazes the quarterbacks helmet, it's
Speaker 1: really isn't it different than a clubbing intention trying to
Speaker 1: hurt someone. I think it's allowed, should be allowed for
Speaker 1: your hand to graze the quarterback's helmet if it appears unintentional. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it used to be with defensive linemen that they would
Speaker 1: actually use their arm forearm as a weapon to hit
Speaker 1: you upside the head. Yeah. See, I mean we've said
Speaker 1: it before, but why don't they just allow holding, because
Speaker 1: then it's just a matter of who's stronger, which guy's stronger,
Speaker 1: And that's kind of what it's supposed to be anyway.
Speaker 1: Just let people hold, at least on the line. But
Speaker 1: are you going to let your defensive backs hold off
Speaker 1: the line with the wide receiver? No? Okay, even though
Speaker 1: they do, even though they do, Yeah, but lineman in
Speaker 1: the running game, just let them hold. Then it's just
Speaker 1: a strong competition. That'll be fun. There was a tripping
Speaker 1: call that wasn't called on t J. Watt with Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 1: and it's and you could tell Rogers he's given him
Speaker 1: the side eye, like, you know, do you trip me there? Yeah?
Speaker 1: T J. Watson gun trim't true? And then they show
Speaker 1: it on the replay and then you know, the crowd
Speaker 1: goes bonkers at Lambeau. Look are you ain't tripping? All? Right?
Speaker 1: Final hour in this Monday, coming up, more phone calls.
Speaker 1: We'll check in with Carson Palmer, who's been great analyzing
Speaker 1: these games. We'll take a break, Seaton Paul Fritzie mclveneer
