Seaton poll question before we dive into what happened last
night in Los Angeles?
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Well, why don't we start right there with what happened
last night?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Okay in Los Angeles?
Speaker 5 (02:48):
All right, Fod has submitted this poll question MSNNA.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
We're gonna start spelling it.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Thhod D think about it. I've thought about that all day,
all day. I even tried to explain it, Like I
got hold to my wife, like Babe, this is this
and so I said thod to her and she just
looked at me like waiting for the rest. You know
that blank stare where they're like someone's just blinking looking
at you. And I'm like, anyway, I thought it was funny.
There's nothing else to do it.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
There's a few things that we do on the show.
When I try to translate it to my wife or
my family, and then I realized maybe it wasn't that funny.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
You just got to be caught up in the moment.
I can't really recreate it for you. Trust me, it
was awesome. It's so funny. Oh man, I left so hard.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah, and then we brought up Jeff, and then it's
g Off and then oh, okay, not funny, all right,
all right, that's funny.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
As you were.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
The name it's like spelled it looks like g Off,
but it's really Jeff.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah, people named Goff were offended yesterday.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
Yes, John, I usually get you. Guys are such children.
You get paid to do that, that.
Speaker 7 (03:54):
Stuff that you do.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
That is true. We are children and we get paid
to do that. All right, She can go ahead, going
to be just fine. A bump in the road last
night or frauds no division title, no playoffs either. That's
from the mind of Todd from Oh.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I was going to say, it has to be Todd
because his are usually really descriptive.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Yeah, okay, So well, I was going to ask who,
even after last night's game, who is a better team
the three and six Miami Dolphins or the.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Four Rams I'm going to say the four and five
Rams because they can still win that division. The Dolphins
at three and six they have to put up with
the Buffalo Bills, and I don't think they're catching Buffalo.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
It's just a weird.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Like I watched the Dolphins and you know what they
can be. It's just I don't know if they're going
to be able to be that consistently. You know, Tyreek
Hill had a touchdown reception. He hadn't had one in
seven weeksh Yeah, but they do have all that speed
they talk about. Boy, they got all that speed they do,
But it comes down to it feels like to a
(04:58):
tongue of ioloa, how good is he? And then he
throws an interception and he goes for a tackle, and
I'm going and I know that the person who intercepted
was close to the end zone and you want him
to make a tackle. I'm to the point now where
I just go, Okay, whatever happens to Tua, happens to Tua.
(05:19):
There's nothing we can do. He wants to be out there.
I just hope he plays smarter. Don't go low with
your head. You can push somebody out about and it's
hard to say you don't care, But I can't think
of that each time I see him, And I was
thinking that last night. I'm watching him when he goes
back to pass. Now, a lot of the passes, they're
(05:40):
very quick. He's not taking seven step drops. You don't
get a chance to really run at him after you're
a defender. I don't think he cares, so I don't
want to watch a game and care what's going to
happen to Tua. But Tua did talk about his tackling
form after the game.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
I feel good, everything's good.
Speaker 8 (06:00):
I went up to that dude that intercepted me and
asked him, like, Bro, you couldn't just like ran out
of bounce or like cut back. It's like you've seen
me and I seeing you, like you wanted to just
run me over. He told me after the game, there
was like he's like there's no room there, like there
was nowhere else to go. So you know, he he
got to do what he got to do to help
(06:21):
his team win games. And I wasn't. I wasn't planning
on using my head to go.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
I guess it's like kind of did kick like the
side of your head. You know, you never fell in
the ullifics front.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
Nah, I didn't feel feel any of that. That was
pretty bad tackling for him, though, that was pretty terrible.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
I don't know if it's funny. I don't know if
it's nervous laughter.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
But I'm watching and I'm going, you know, don't do
a Peyton Manning where you go into a fetal position
after an interception. But can we have some middle ground
there of I'm going to, you know, get you out
of bounds, prevent you from scoring a touchdown. Just don't
use your head. I mean use your head by not
using your head.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Yes, yeah, like uh, maybe it's maybe it's wrong to say,
but I don't really care.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
What he does anymore like it was.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
If it was a different player, I would be like, ah, man,
you can't be doing that or whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
But it's him.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
He's very clearly made his choice. He's very clearly made
his decision and doesn't really want to hear about it
from anybody. This is my choice, it's my personal decision
to go do this. Then hey, dude, if you're going
to be out there, then go ahead, play like that
and see how far you can take it.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
If he doesn't care, we shouldn't care. And once again,
I'm watching the game last night. I don't know if
the audience was watching the game, and you think the
same thing. Whenever he starts to run, whenever somebody's ready
to tackle him. I couldn't help but think it. And
I've never thought that way with any other player. I
don't think in NFL history where you're you're worried about them.
(07:53):
And there may have been instances, but I can't find
you know, I'm not remembering anything. It just feels like
Tua is fragile and he's not built that way. I mean,
if you've ever been around him, he's solid. But I
just kind of watch him and maybe it's a father
figure in me that you just want to be like
play smart, because I've seen so many quarterbacks want to
(08:17):
be football players. Be a quarterback, don't be a football player.
And there's a difference in that it's okay, you can
fall down. You don't have to go head first. You
don't have to be Andrew Luck headhunting after you've thrown
an interception.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
I'm going to make that tackle. No, don't do that.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Because eventually you're going to get blasted by somebody.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Yeah, pulling you're right about two.
Speaker 9 (08:44):
You watch him like it's a horror movie and you
kind of have your fingers up, like, oh no, no,
remember a couple of years ago, this is apples and oranges.
But to me, it's the same. When Alex Smith came
back for Washington after his year and a half long
leg issues. I think his first game back was on
National TV against the Rams, and he was going against
a really good Rams pass rush and every time Aaron
(09:04):
Donald got anywhere near Alex Smith, I was like, oh no, no, no, no,
no no. And he actually landed on him once. But
that's the kind of player Alex Smith. Leg seems fragile.
Tu seems completely fragile.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Tyreek Hill's touchdown catch endered a seven game streak without
a touchdown reception, the longest of his career. I'm watching
the game and they put up like five time first
team All Pro, eight time Pro bowler. I think, so
he's a Hall of Famer right now, isn't he? It
feels like that Tyreek and I don't know what his
(09:37):
numbers are, but you know, because we usually look at
did you get to you know, a thousand receptions?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
How many yards did receiving.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
But it feels like Tyreek Hill is already a Hall
of Famer at five time First Team All Pro, maybe
eight time Pro Bowler.
Speaker 9 (09:53):
Yeah, Pauling, those numbers are correct. His first All Pro
was as a rookie. That was as a return man,
not as a wide receivers. Okay, right, so he got
that as a return man, which still goes on your record.
But four time first Team All Pro as a wide
receiver before the age of thirty, Yeah, that's a ticket, yes, Todd,
And it certainly.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Pass that name test that we like to do.
Speaker 10 (10:13):
When you say that name, I think you would instantly say, yeah,
Hall of Fame Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
It does feel like that.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
But you see when you don't have Tua in there,
how it affects all of those receivers, which says a
lot about Tua. Like when Tua is playing and he's
on rhythm, he's really really remarkable. But you watch that
team and what could have been this year because they
were a playoff team last year and Tua's health, you know,
(10:42):
that's where your your future is tied to how healthy
is he when he plays?
Speaker 3 (10:48):
He's really good? All right? Seeing any other pole questions, Yeah,
we're going to start hour one with that.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
I'm cooking up a couple on your Cavaliers too, which.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
My twelve and oero Cavaliers, and Todd said, if they
win their next game, they'll be thirteen or no.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Yeah, that's how the count, the number line that I
grew up with.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I confirmed it.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah, because Paulie goes, Hey, what did the Cavaliers twelve
and oh, and Todd goes, yeah, Wednesday night Philadelphia, if
they win, they'll go to thirteen or o.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
I go, PAULI check that and.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
He confirmed it very quick.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
He did appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Yes, so mad he didn't do that on the air. Yeah.
Uh after that, they could hit fourteen. No, but you'd
have to win the next two in a row to
get to fourteen.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Confirmed.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Okay, a lot of season left though, Dan as, Oh, yes, yes,
a lot of seasons left.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Yes there is, Yes, there is, Yes, paul is.
Speaker 9 (11:37):
Twelve and oh in the NBA like four and oh
in the NFL where it's great, but it doesn't mean
a ton or do you'd say, like the Cavaliers are
now a threatening team. I saw some people this morning
saying they're amongst the favorites to win the East.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Well, I don't think there's a lot of favorites to
win the East. I think there's the Celtics, and they're
the favorites to win the title. But who else in
the East do you say they're a favorite? It's not Milwaukee,
it's not Philadelphia, Orlando without I'll oh, Ben, The Caves.
Speaker 9 (12:09):
And Celtics are the only two teams above five hundred
right now in.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
These Yeah, the East isn't good, you know? Or is
that parody?
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Okay, okay, I got you r Is that exactly the
way the.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
System has been designed? I got your parody right here.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
The Wizards are the only NBA team that she yet
to lead after the first quarter of this season. The
Wizards are the only NBA team that yet to lead
at halftime this season?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Did you say parody or parody? This is the Stananda.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
You're right, Seaton. The spelling p A R O d
Y might be more apt. They are a parody. They
haven't led in a halftime this year.
Speaker 9 (13:03):
Your Wizards started out with a two and zero winning
stream this season, Yeah, then lost five.
Speaker 11 (13:08):
In a row.
Speaker 9 (13:08):
They are being outscored by thirteen point seven points per game.
The only worst team is the Jazz at thirteen point nine.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Yeah, what happened to the jazz? Maybe they do eventually
trade Laurie, marknen Cooper, Flag's coming. Oh yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
They're saying he's got to go to the East to
balance out the East and the West. We have to
have a you know, a couple other must see guys
on Eastern teams, Eastern rosters there.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
Yes, Mark and the Wizards. They're goofy.
Speaker 10 (13:35):
That's a goofy franchise, Like not even unseious, like they're
always doing shocked in a foo.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
They're always like blooper reels, like that's who they are.
Speaker 10 (13:43):
Vale McGee, right Rightvale McGee, Dale McGee, Nick Young. Like
even as good as Gilbert was, it was just always
something goofy at times.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Well, not goofy. You wanted to bringing guns into a
locker room.
Speaker 10 (13:56):
Well I was just I was just gonna say on
the court, but yes too, Yes, like they're just goofy.
Kyle Kuzman and Jordan Pool are on the same team.
Go ahead, back to you, d thank you, thank you. Mark,
all right, we'll take a break.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
He is he's being called, you know, the Master of
the Portal. He's mister Portal he's Lane Kiffin. I don't
think he liked the portal at all. I think he
had some comments about it was bad. He'd never do,
you know whatever. He was kind of going down that
Debo Sweeney route, and then all of a sudden he's like, well,
I can get my quarterback from USC, and my leading
(14:30):
tackler is going to be from here, my leading running
back will be from here, and wide receiver. Everybody's from
other schools. And that is a really good team, as
Kirby Smart, George's head coach said after that loss, that's
the most talented team we will face this year. But
they did have the lost LSU lost to Kentucky. But
we'll talk to Lane Kiffin. Always good to talk to him.
(14:50):
We'll take a break, phone calls in the on deck
circle as well. They always spirited Nick right a little
later on as well. Back after this Dan Patrick show.

to listen live. He's being called the Portal King. Lane
(15:13):
Kiffin will join us coming up here in a couple
of minutes. The Chicago Bears have fired their offensive coordinator.
I know they had one, maybe entitle Shane Waldron has
been fired by the Bears. The Bears point differential prior
to the Jaden Daniels hail Mary touchdown pass was plus fifty.
(15:38):
Since that pass, the Bears point differential is minus forty two.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Remember when they.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Went to London and Caleb Williams through four touchdown passes
and all of a sudden, you're going, Okay, this team
is good. Got a bye week coming up, you got
what Patriots, commander and the Cardinals, so you're thinking you
could probably win two or three and you're gonna have
six wins.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
You'll be six and three.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Now, the schedule is really tough second half of the season,
and you're looking at the Bears and thinking, and I
thought there were a nine win team this year. But
all of a sudden, you lose that game to the
Commanders and then it is gone south in a hurry,
and Matt Eberflus is just holding on for dear life.
He's not going to be there next year. You know,
(16:29):
when these coaches start firing people on the staff, then
you know it's like, well, I'm not going somebody has
got to go here. We got to show that we're
going to take names here. You know, we're going to
hold people accountable here. But the Bears, they had a
little bit of momentum. We saw Caleb throw four touchdown
(16:50):
passes and we're going, all right, all right, come back home,
And Paulie said, God, the worst thing you want if
you're a Bears fan is a bye week.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Like you don't want that. You want to keep playing.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
But Shane Waldron has been fired offensive coordinator for the
Chicago Bears. He is Lane Kiffin joining us on the program.
Ole miss head coach. He's known as the portal King. Now,
when did you get that title? When did you start
to embrace the transfer portal?
Speaker 7 (17:20):
I don't know about the title thing. We started on
the portal, you know when they change the rules, when
they created it and just really have utilized it. We
still sound a lot of really good high school players.
But it's basically just as you guys know professional sports.
It's just the free agency part of it.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
But you embraced it because initially you didn't like it.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
Well, I don't know that it's great for college football
and how many windows there are and there's no structure
like they having professional sports. You know, there's multiple windows
and guys can just keep going, keep transfer as many
times as they want. So I don't know that that's
really good for college football, but we still maximum We
maximize it because we make it good for old.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Mess How would you restructure it if you had the authority.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
Well, I think you just got to look at professional sports.
They've been doing things for a long time. You wouldn't
have multiple free agency windows, and you certainly wouldn't have
windows that before the season was over you could go into.
You know, we have a system where guys going at
the end of the season when teams are still playing,
so you know, that creates a lot of mental clutter
for the guys. Even when they haven't gone in, they
got other coaches calling them and trying to get them
(18:31):
out of there and talk about going to other places.
So it's a really poor system that way.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
But are you more likely to look at a transfer
than you are, Like, do you want a guy who's
twenty or twenty one who's proven or you want an
eighteen year old who's coming in as a freshman.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Well, I think it's really if you just think of
the system, the same way as the NFL. Like you know,
you can go free agency, but or you can go
heavy draft, or you can go somewhere in the middle.
And we still want to build through really good high
school players, which we have a number of those that
were making plays Saturday, but then we also go free agency.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Also where it gets a little.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
Different is you know, in this free agency you can
get somebody that got three years left or just one
year left, you know, because one year of eligibility. So
it's a little bit more complicated that way than just oh,
you're just gonna go sign the best portal players, and
you know, people a lot of people. It's not like
we're the only people that have done this. A lot
of people for the last few years have done this
(19:28):
and it hasn't worked. So just like free agency and
professional sports or looking at the NBA, you build these
teams that are supposed to be good, and you can't
buy culture, so you got to have other things in
place and make sure that you pick the right pieces
to come in that they play together, and some of
them end up having reduced roles from what they had
(19:48):
at previous places.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
You break big pregame speech.
Speaker 7 (19:52):
Guy, No, I think you know, you got it the
whole week just to talk to your team about things,
and football is kind of you hit in the mouth,
and I don't know anybody remembers that, So I don't
think there's there's a lot to that.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Did you say anything different prior to the Georgia game
that you maybe wouldn't have said previous games?
Speaker 7 (20:13):
No, No, now throughout offseason or the week, you know,
there were different things. The best thing that happened to
us is Georgia beat us pretty good there a year ago,
and the feeling of seeing that, the feeling of how
that game went, him being bullied around, and really the
line of scrimmages classic Georgia, what they do to a
lot of people, and made a decision that we got
(20:34):
to change our line of scrimmages. Even though we won
eleven games last year, we wanted to be Georgia, and
so we went out and we did that. We changed
the size of our line of scrimmages, the twitch of
our defensive ends in order to pass rush against them.
But we also game planned against Georgia a lot in offseason,
So it wasn't a speech, it wasn't even stuff that
was done that week. We spent a lot a lot
of time leading up to this game schematically as coaches
(20:57):
to prepare for it.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Also, so this is a year in the making that
you are like teams would do this with New England,
you would get ready to gear up to beat New
England when the Patriots were done. You're building your roster
to beat Georgia.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
I just felt that Georgia was by far and away
the top program in college football, and I think could
have won the national championship last year. They lost one
game to Nick Saban, which really outside of Alabama, nobody
has beat Georgia since COVID Florida. So they're the top
program by far. So yeah, when if you're going to
(21:32):
go in a championship, to me, it's got to go
through Georgia. So you better build your team to be
able to beat Georgia, especially when they're on our schedule.
And I said, at the beginning of your potential of
you may have to blame them twice.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Talking to Lane Kiffin, old miss head coach.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Got a bye week and then you'll be at Florida,
then you host Mississippi State.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
What do you think of the twelve team playoff?
Speaker 7 (21:53):
I think there's a lot of good. I think keeps
a lot of people excited, fans, keeps teams motivated to
be in it. With everything, there's a cost and a benefit,
and so those are the benefits. I think there's a
cost to that. You know, teams are programs are used to,
fans are used to the fifty teams win their last game.
Now you're going to have if you get in the
top twelve, eleven of them are no going to lose.
(22:14):
Only one is going to win their last game. So
I think that'll be a little bit different, and I
think they're going to have to learn, Like any system,
if you just start a playoff system, that's really kind
of bizarre the way it's put together about these buys
and UH five team and where you slate and you
get a home home game, And so I think I
think that will have a lot of work to do
because I think what probably won't happen the top twelve
(22:40):
teams won't get in, you know, different than an NFL
playoff where the top teams and they got to get in,
because people are going to choose who gets in, and
there's such an imbalance of conferences and what it's like
to have to play every week, for instance, this conference.
Some of these other conversations, you got to show up
two three times a year, really and you don't deal
with the hostile environments that you deal with in this conference.
(23:03):
So I think that that's so.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
Different.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
That's gonna be really hard to get about twelve teams,
especially with the setup where you know you can play
in a poorer conference when the conference you're gonna get
a buy and here comes, you know, some some great
team in a big ten or SEC that's you know,
potentially even going on the road.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
What do you think of coach Saban on game day?
Speaker 7 (23:27):
Little I've seen he's done awesome. I actually left him
a voiceman this morning just say, uh, he seems happy.
I didn't know that he would be. That's a long time,
a lot of years of a very scheduled person that
is used to routine. So but he seems happy and
probably a lot less stress.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
The uh storming the field cost old miss again gets
it's going to get even more expensive. I mean, I
guess it's a good problem to have. Uh you get
concerned when they're storm in the field with your own safety.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
No, not really. I think you talk about saving I
had a sabing moment actually that they were storming. The
field was still going on in our sid Kyle Campbell's
next to me, and so I gave him an ask
chewing about how do we not have a better structure
for this not in place? And everybody's like, you're beating
Georgia by three scores, and so it's kind of one
of those Saban chewing situations, even when I don't know
(24:28):
I was channeling, and maybe just because I was like,
all right, the only way to beat George is to think,
like Nick.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Saban, do you have uniform approval?
Speaker 7 (24:38):
Do I have uniform pro meaning like.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
You know, the the you know, color, color scheme, throwbacks,
any of that that they have to run it by you.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
I give that to our players. It's a player's game.
Players think like recruits also, so our players choose our
uniform combos. We opened up when we got here two
more options for them, just kind of what we got here.
I kind of said, Okay, we've got to be a
little bit different here at Old Miss. You know, we're
not a traditional national powerhouse, so we've got to create
(25:08):
something that players recruits want to come play at. So
let's have a really cool offense. Let's have neat uniforms,
let's play a different style. So I kind of said,
kind of copying the Oregon model years ago when they started.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
That, I'm not sure what color that blue is. We
thought it might have been Richard Petty blue. That how
he painted his car. Do you have an official Old
Miss color designation?
Speaker 7 (25:35):
Powder blue?
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Just powder blue? So what they say, I would say,
Richard Petty blue.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
Analytics and in powder blue, over our first years here,
we scored more points. I just feel like, sometimes you know,
you look good, feel good, you play good, and so
I think it looks good. I like it, and we
seem to score more points in it and play better,
so the players pick it. But sometimes in the bigger games,
I put that way.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Did any did they bring the gold post back.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
They were downtown? I saw that, and then somehow they
cut him up because one of my son's buddies brought
a piece up here. Knocking on the window last night,
Connecticut was a piece of the gold post.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Well, do you have an ample supply of goal posts
there at Old Miss that you can just you know,
bring him in. It's like if you break a backboard
in the NBA you know, you just replace it.
Speaker 7 (26:30):
That's a good question. With the good things, we have
a buy and then we play in the swamp and
then we come home, so maybybe we have some time
to go buy some of the field.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Congrats on the wind. Good to talk to you again.
Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 7 (26:44):
All right, guys, have a good week. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
That is uh, mister portal At least I saw an
article calling him the portal king there and certainly done
great things with it.
Speaker 9 (26:54):
Yes, Paul, he's so important to have in college football.
College football lost, you know Steve Spury or couple of
years ago, Nick Saban Harbaugh. We need characters in the game.
And also he's relevant because his team is relevant. Yeah,
he just he's perfect for college football.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
A couple of phone calls in here Sean and Oregon.
Hey Sean, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 12 (27:15):
Hey Dan, I didn't get to make the best and
Worst yesterday? And Lane Kiff and getting that win yesterday
after seeing how he left USC and now he finally
got a signature. Whin he's back on top.
Speaker 13 (27:27):
That was the very best.
Speaker 11 (27:29):
We that's a.
Speaker 12 (27:30):
Great America loves to see that, Okay, and the worst
the worst I want to say was learning of the
passing of one of the best play by play NBA
announcers there ever, was Brian Wheeler. On Friday, Yeah, I
say he loved by Blazer fans. And then then Sunday
we get to see the Blazers lose by forty five
(27:51):
points and they shoot four for forty two beyond the arc.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Yep, just keep shooting him. That's what. That's what. That's philosophy.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Hey, it doesn't matter you can't shoot him, but keep
shooting him. I never understood that not every team is
Golden State or the Celtics. Now, the Celtics have out
warriored the Warriors.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
You know, they like.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Fifty threes they attempt. It's not a big deal, yes, Mark.
Speaker 10 (28:18):
And the fact that Victor is seven to four. He
shot twelve three pointers last night. I know he made six,
but he's gonna have some nights where he makes one
of twelve.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Yeah, probably seven. Just keep shooting, Just keep shooting. Also
the passing of a former USC coach, John Robinson. He
was a really nice guy. He's a nice man. Every
time I was around him, he was just he asked
you questions and like he just had a I don't
know a warmth about him when you talk to him.
(28:48):
I always enjoyed him. Passed away yesterday, Vince in Austin. Hi, Vince,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 14 (28:56):
Hey, good morning, BP, gentlemen, seating DP. I want to
get your feedback on this Colorado having a great season
or a good season seven to two A post from
last year. They were in the Pac twelve or the
middle Pac twelve. Now they're in the Big twelve. Is
it because the Big twelve isn't as strong or is
(29:16):
Colorado actually got better? I have some watching them. I
think they're very talented to the best players in college
football today.
Speaker 15 (29:24):
But it just.
Speaker 14 (29:24):
Because they're in the weaker conference or are they actually
better of combination of both.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
It's a combination, Vince. I think that Dion has rounded
up some players to round out that roster because he
was top heavy. You had his son and you had
Travis Hunter, and those are two of the top ten
top five players in the country. They just needed to
have a fuller roster. And that's why I said, if
you didn't get Dion last year, you weren't going to
(29:50):
get him this year. I also think being in the
Big twelve easier schedule as well. But you know he's
not going to win Sports the Year this year. Although
he won four games last year and won Sportsman of
the Year, which was silly, but he's won seven.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
It's been quieter.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
It just feels like this is more about football than entertainment,
and maybe that's a good thing.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Doug in North Carolina, Good morning, Doug. What's on your mind?
Speaker 11 (30:19):
Well, Dan, I have a possible assignment for the IE team,
and Polly, this is right up your alley because it
pertains to uniforms. I've noticed in the past year, this season,
several times this season, a couple of times this weekend,
that when a tackle is being made in the NFL,
it looks like the end up giving the guy a
wedgie because there's some elastic fabric that is either hanging
(30:43):
out from the back of their shirts or out from
their pants, and the guys are grabbing onto that and
I'm just trying to figure out what is that material
and why is it there. The most obvious example is
if you pull up David Montgomery's touchdown run against the Cowboys,
you'll see it there's some elastic material that is giving
(31:03):
the solution.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
I like that this is bothering. Doug Paulie is on this, Yes, paul.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Of course we are.
Speaker 9 (31:10):
David Montgomery, he had like a towel tucked in and
like it's almost like stapled into his pants. And when
he almost got deepants. It also happened to Derrick Henry
he almost got deepants the other day. We saw a
little just a touch of crack. No offense. But the
bigger issue is a lot of the skill position players,
especially wide receivers, wear tight jerseys and then have a
(31:30):
long T shirt sticking out of them. This T shirt
now is being grabbed and pulled and ripped. It's a
very slovenly looked by the way. I don't like the
T shirt hanging out underneath the jersey. But there's a
lot of guys reaching for tackles and slowing guys down
because there's a loose T shirt under their jersey.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
I was wondering if you would do a jersey onesie,
so it would you know, like if you have a
one year old and they snap underneath, maybe you could
do that like a onesie that snaps underneath.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
But that touchdown.
Speaker 9 (32:02):
He was talking about Montgomery, he has a shirt underneath
his jersey that it comes out about three or four here.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
Yes, is there a male onesie? I feel like our
equipment makes that less possible. Oh, I think you could
do it. It goes over a diaper. Yeah, like you
could have a trapdoor if.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
You wanted to. But yeah, you could do a onesie.
Speaker 6 (32:29):
You think so?
Speaker 3 (32:30):
I think so.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Yeah, maybe maybe we get into the onesie business.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Yes, time, it would be a lot less holding.
Speaker 10 (32:37):
Also, if they're just wearing a tight one, I know,
gripping on, it's kind of right on their skin.
Speaker 6 (32:41):
Can't pull on their jersey.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
Thank you, Ton Trent in Virginia, Hi Trent.
Speaker 14 (32:48):
Hey DP.
Speaker 13 (32:49):
Congratulations to the Bears for doing the obvious. I saw
the stats this morning when the news broke. It's pretty
sad that when the Bears drafted their punter, Williams texted
him kind of hey, welcome, but you're not getting one here.
But somehow the Bears punter has more punching yards than
Caleb Williams.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
All right, all right, thank you Tren. Yes, the Bears
who fired their offensive coordinator. All right, let's take a break.
Got our play of the day up next.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
He had a few of those. Yes, yes, Tom, I'm
saying a lot.
Speaker 10 (34:59):
I've slapped my bleep or smack my bleep and call
me Judy as a yes, you're an appropriate version.
Speaker 9 (35:05):
The comedian John Lovettz had a episode of Friends where
he was really weird and wild and he said, smack
my blank and call me Judy, and I guess that's
what the reference is.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Okay, I don't remember that. I'm missing something here. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
The avalanche of taking a to one lead, slap my way,
call me Judy.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Thank you.

This is the NHL on TNT.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Thank you, Thank you. Kevin Harley.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
By the way, the twelve and oh start for the
Cleveland Cavaliers. They're halfway towards the Golden State Warriors, who
in twenty fifteen went twenty four and oh to open
up their season. That year, they won seventy three games,
lost the NBA Finals two.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
The Cavaliers steat of the day stat of the day,
that best stead of the day? Stat of the day?
Here comes that? What stat of the day? Andrew in Washington,
Hi Andrew, what's on your mind?
Speaker 11 (36:06):
Oh?
Speaker 16 (36:07):
Good morning, Dan, thanks for taking my call. I am
Andrew in Washington with a pH steven as a middle name.
I'm pH balanced with my name, But I was going
to talk about the Cavaliers too. Are the Cavaliers so
the only eight team to start twelve and oh in
their season? But really the Washington Wizards of twelve and
oh starts in the NBA. I mean they've played only
(36:28):
two teams with a winning record, the Lakers and the Warriors.
Other than that, if you combine the total amount of
games that they've played again, I mean the twelve and
oh teams, they're thirty eight percent winning percentage. So I mean,
how real is that twelve and oh? I know you
guys got a couple of bets going on that they're
going to win the championship. The guy's going to get
so many pies from all of his kids.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
All right, Well, thank you, Andrew. No, I think they're
a good team. They're a playoff team that starting five
is really good. It's young. They got Donovan Mitchell, Garland
is healthy, mobiley, they.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
Don't have household names.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
See, once again, we usually only see certain teams, whether
it's the Mothership or TNT. They're probably not bringing you
a lot of Cavalier games unless it's a Cavalier game
against the Lakers. Therefore, if you don't watch them, then
you kind of dismiss them, and I think be fair
to them. Watch him play. I think you'd be surprised
(37:26):
how good they are. And Mitchell Mitchell is a guy.
He's probably six ' one, maybe maybe six ' two,
and you don't see guys like that doing what he does.
Like it's very deceptive because you know, first time I
saw Donovan Mitchell in college, I was like aund six
three sixty four and then stand next to him and
(37:46):
you're like, I'm taller than him. Garland, you know, I'd
liked Mobili when he was in college, thought he would
be a really good pro. And Alan is good. Like
they have a good team. It's a good, solid team.
I'm not saying they're winning the title or challenging the Celtics,
but they are a good story. It's just we kind
(38:06):
of get brainwashed with what are good stories in the NBA.
Maybe not good teams, but the Lakers are always talked about,
the Celtics sort of, Dallas is in there, Milwaukee's bad,
Philadelphia is bad, and so you get these storylines and
then we sort of feel like those storylines are what
(38:26):
is really indicative of what's going on in the NBA
Oklahoma City had a roster last night where I think
everybody was six six or smaller because Chad Holmgren's out
for two and a half months, maybe three months. They
played small ball and Shay Gilgess Alexander I think put
up forty five.
Speaker 10 (38:43):
Yes, Marvin, I think the Cavaliers are a position like
the twenty fifteen Hawks. I think they won like sixty
games and they have four All Stars. But in the
conference finals they faced Lebron James. Yeah, so they're like,
that's a cute story, but Lebron's here, And I think
that's what the Cavaliers of this year might fall into,
is they're a great story. But guess what, the Celtics
(39:04):
don't care about this. They're ready for the playoffs and
they're trying to win a championship. So that might be
the problem that the Cavaliers face going forward.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
Ben in Baltimore. I Ben, what's on your mind?
Speaker 15 (39:13):
Hey, gentlemen, Good morning, Dan. I overslept this morning, so
I appreciate you calling me to wake me up so
I wasn't late.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
For work today. You're welcome, Ben Todd.
Speaker 15 (39:22):
You and I have a connection that is unlike any other.
Your garbage fail. Kid was Odd Todd and mine was
Ben and they were the same character like in Dewart
characters Dot We'll be together forever, brother. Quick question about
the NBA and maybe your guy's thoughts on this three
point debacle that's going on, because it really is kind
of unwatchable at times. How about after ten misses, ten
(39:43):
three point misses for every myss you lose a point.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
I would love them.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
I'd love the NBA to say We're going to have
one week no threes.
Speaker 6 (39:56):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
We're gonna take away the three point shot. Just see
how it looks, how the players feel about it. Years years,
years years ago, mid nineties, I challenged my bosses to
have a no dunk highlight night. We were not going
to have any dunks because I said, that's not basketball.
(40:19):
I mean, it's part of basketball, but we would just
rely on it and say uh and KG and the
Timberwolves ended up winning, and then you'd show a dunk
at the end of the day, like there was I
don't know. I wanted to see a little bit more
basketball instead of a highlight and so we went through
the entire show, all the NBA games. The last play
(40:41):
of the last highlight, there was a dunk like it
just became part of you know, our DNA when we
put together highlights. Oh you got to show a dunk.
Oh you got it. Now it's got to show threes.
Got to shoot threes. That's all the game is threes.
I know, I know, Get off my lawn guy, Dan
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):

Ets Dan Patrick Show. If I'm a Rams fan, I
am bummed out. You had a great opportunity to get

underachieving Dolphins team, and you can't score red zone stats man,
that's what That's all that matters with quarterbacks. What do
(00:27):
you do in the red zone? What's your completion percentage?
The number of times you get in the red zone
and you score touchdowns, not field goals. Rams went up
and down the field, but once they got into the
red zone, it was almost like it was red because
it was stop stopping the drive all right. Stat of

Seaton poll question before we dive into what happened last
night in Los Angeles?
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Well, why don't we start right there with what happened
last night?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Okay in Los Angeles?
Speaker 5 (02:48):
All right, Fod has submitted this poll question MSNNA.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
We're gonna start spelling it.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Thhod D think about it. I've thought about that all day,
all day. I even tried to explain it, Like I
got hold to my wife, like Babe, this is this
and so I said thod to her and she just
looked at me like waiting for the rest. You know
that blank stare where they're like someone's just blinking looking
at you. And I'm like, anyway, I thought it was funny.
There's nothing else to do it.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
There's a few things that we do on the show.
When I try to translate it to my wife or
my family, and then I realized maybe it wasn't that funny.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
You just got to be caught up in the moment.
I can't really recreate it for you. Trust me, it
was awesome. It's so funny. Oh man, I left so hard.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah, and then we brought up Jeff, and then it's
g Off and then oh, okay, not funny, all right,
all right, that's funny.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
As you were.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
The name it's like spelled it looks like g Off,
but it's really Jeff.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah, people named Goff were offended yesterday.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
Yes, John, I usually get you. Guys are such children.
You get paid to do that, that.
Speaker 7 (03:54):
Stuff that you do.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
That is true. We are children and we get paid
to do that. All right, She can go ahead, going
to be just fine. A bump in the road last
night or frauds no division title, no playoffs either. That's
from the mind of Todd from Oh.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I was going to say, it has to be Todd
because his are usually really descriptive.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Yeah, okay, So well, I was going to ask who,
even after last night's game, who is a better team
the three and six Miami Dolphins or the.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Four Rams I'm going to say the four and five
Rams because they can still win that division. The Dolphins
at three and six they have to put up with
the Buffalo Bills, and I don't think they're catching Buffalo.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
It's just a weird.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Like I watched the Dolphins and you know what they
can be. It's just I don't know if they're going
to be able to be that consistently. You know, Tyreek
Hill had a touchdown reception. He hadn't had one in
seven weeksh Yeah, but they do have all that speed
they talk about. Boy, they got all that speed they do,
But it comes down to it feels like to a
(04:58):
tongue of ioloa, how good is he? And then he
throws an interception and he goes for a tackle, and
I'm going and I know that the person who intercepted
was close to the end zone and you want him
to make a tackle. I'm to the point now where
I just go, Okay, whatever happens to Tua, happens to Tua.
(05:19):
There's nothing we can do. He wants to be out there.
I just hope he plays smarter. Don't go low with
your head. You can push somebody out about and it's
hard to say you don't care, But I can't think
of that each time I see him, And I was
thinking that last night. I'm watching him when he goes
back to pass. Now, a lot of the passes, they're
(05:40):
very quick. He's not taking seven step drops. You don't
get a chance to really run at him after you're
a defender. I don't think he cares, so I don't
want to watch a game and care what's going to
happen to Tua. But Tua did talk about his tackling
form after the game.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
I feel good, everything's good.
Speaker 8 (06:00):
I went up to that dude that intercepted me and
asked him, like, Bro, you couldn't just like ran out
of bounce or like cut back. It's like you've seen
me and I seeing you, like you wanted to just
run me over. He told me after the game, there
was like he's like there's no room there, like there
was nowhere else to go. So you know, he he
got to do what he got to do to help
(06:21):
his team win games. And I wasn't. I wasn't planning
on using my head to go.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
I guess it's like kind of did kick like the
side of your head. You know, you never fell in
the ullifics front.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
Nah, I didn't feel feel any of that. That was
pretty bad tackling for him, though, that was pretty terrible.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
I don't know if it's funny. I don't know if
it's nervous laughter.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
But I'm watching and I'm going, you know, don't do
a Peyton Manning where you go into a fetal position
after an interception. But can we have some middle ground
there of I'm going to, you know, get you out
of bounds, prevent you from scoring a touchdown. Just don't
use your head. I mean use your head by not
using your head.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Yes, yeah, like uh, maybe it's maybe it's wrong to say,
but I don't really care.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
What he does anymore like it was.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
If it was a different player, I would be like, ah, man,
you can't be doing that or whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
But it's him.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
He's very clearly made his choice. He's very clearly made
his decision and doesn't really want to hear about it
from anybody. This is my choice, it's my personal decision
to go do this. Then hey, dude, if you're going
to be out there, then go ahead, play like that
and see how far you can take it.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
If he doesn't care, we shouldn't care. And once again,
I'm watching the game last night. I don't know if
the audience was watching the game, and you think the
same thing. Whenever he starts to run, whenever somebody's ready
to tackle him. I couldn't help but think it. And
I've never thought that way with any other player. I
don't think in NFL history where you're you're worried about them.
(07:53):
And there may have been instances, but I can't find
you know, I'm not remembering anything. It just feels like
Tua is fragile and he's not built that way. I mean,
if you've ever been around him, he's solid. But I
just kind of watch him and maybe it's a father
figure in me that you just want to be like
play smart, because I've seen so many quarterbacks want to
(08:17):
be football players. Be a quarterback, don't be a football player.
And there's a difference in that it's okay, you can
fall down. You don't have to go head first. You
don't have to be Andrew Luck headhunting after you've thrown
an interception.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
I'm going to make that tackle. No, don't do that.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Because eventually you're going to get blasted by somebody.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Yeah, pulling you're right about two.
Speaker 9 (08:44):
You watch him like it's a horror movie and you
kind of have your fingers up, like, oh no, no,
remember a couple of years ago, this is apples and oranges.
But to me, it's the same. When Alex Smith came
back for Washington after his year and a half long
leg issues. I think his first game back was on
National TV against the Rams, and he was going against
a really good Rams pass rush and every time Aaron
(09:04):
Donald got anywhere near Alex Smith, I was like, oh no, no, no, no,
no no. And he actually landed on him once. But
that's the kind of player Alex Smith. Leg seems fragile.
Tu seems completely fragile.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Tyreek Hill's touchdown catch endered a seven game streak without
a touchdown reception, the longest of his career. I'm watching
the game and they put up like five time first
team All Pro, eight time Pro bowler. I think, so
he's a Hall of Famer right now, isn't he? It
feels like that Tyreek and I don't know what his
(09:37):
numbers are, but you know, because we usually look at
did you get to you know, a thousand receptions?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
How many yards did receiving.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
But it feels like Tyreek Hill is already a Hall
of Famer at five time First Team All Pro, maybe
eight time Pro Bowler.
Speaker 9 (09:53):
Yeah, Pauling, those numbers are correct. His first All Pro
was as a rookie. That was as a return man,
not as a wide receivers. Okay, right, so he got
that as a return man, which still goes on your record.
But four time first Team All Pro as a wide
receiver before the age of thirty, Yeah, that's a ticket, yes, Todd,
And it certainly.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Pass that name test that we like to do.
Speaker 10 (10:13):
When you say that name, I think you would instantly say, yeah,
Hall of Fame Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
It does feel like that.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
But you see when you don't have Tua in there,
how it affects all of those receivers, which says a
lot about Tua. Like when Tua is playing and he's
on rhythm, he's really really remarkable. But you watch that
team and what could have been this year because they
were a playoff team last year and Tua's health, you know,
(10:42):
that's where your your future is tied to how healthy
is he when he plays?
Speaker 3 (10:48):
He's really good? All right? Seeing any other pole questions, Yeah,
we're going to start hour one with that.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
I'm cooking up a couple on your Cavaliers too, which.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
My twelve and oero Cavaliers, and Todd said, if they
win their next game, they'll be thirteen or no.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Yeah, that's how the count, the number line that I
grew up with.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I confirmed it.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah, because Paulie goes, Hey, what did the Cavaliers twelve
and oh, and Todd goes, yeah, Wednesday night Philadelphia, if
they win, they'll go to thirteen or o.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
I go, PAULI check that and.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
He confirmed it very quick.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
He did appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Yes, so mad he didn't do that on the air. Yeah.
Uh after that, they could hit fourteen. No, but you'd
have to win the next two in a row to
get to fourteen.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Confirmed.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Okay, a lot of season left though, Dan as, Oh, yes, yes,
a lot of seasons left.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Yes there is, Yes, there is, Yes, paul is.
Speaker 9 (11:37):
Twelve and oh in the NBA like four and oh
in the NFL where it's great, but it doesn't mean
a ton or do you'd say, like the Cavaliers are
now a threatening team. I saw some people this morning
saying they're amongst the favorites to win the East.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Well, I don't think there's a lot of favorites to
win the East. I think there's the Celtics, and they're
the favorites to win the title. But who else in
the East do you say they're a favorite? It's not Milwaukee,
it's not Philadelphia, Orlando without I'll oh, Ben, The Caves.
Speaker 9 (12:09):
And Celtics are the only two teams above five hundred
right now in.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
These Yeah, the East isn't good, you know? Or is
that parody?
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Okay, okay, I got you r Is that exactly the
way the.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
System has been designed? I got your parody right here.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
The Wizards are the only NBA team that she yet
to lead after the first quarter of this season. The
Wizards are the only NBA team that yet to lead
at halftime this season?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Did you say parody or parody? This is the Stananda.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
You're right, Seaton. The spelling p A R O d
Y might be more apt. They are a parody. They
haven't led in a halftime this year.
Speaker 9 (13:03):
Your Wizards started out with a two and zero winning
stream this season, Yeah, then lost five.
Speaker 11 (13:08):
In a row.
Speaker 9 (13:08):
They are being outscored by thirteen point seven points per game.
The only worst team is the Jazz at thirteen point nine.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Yeah, what happened to the jazz? Maybe they do eventually
trade Laurie, marknen Cooper, Flag's coming. Oh yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
They're saying he's got to go to the East to
balance out the East and the West. We have to
have a you know, a couple other must see guys
on Eastern teams, Eastern rosters there.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
Yes, Mark and the Wizards. They're goofy.
Speaker 10 (13:35):
That's a goofy franchise, Like not even unseious, like they're
always doing shocked in a foo.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
They're always like blooper reels, like that's who they are.
Speaker 10 (13:43):
Vale McGee, right Rightvale McGee, Dale McGee, Nick Young. Like
even as good as Gilbert was, it was just always
something goofy at times.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Well, not goofy. You wanted to bringing guns into a
locker room.
Speaker 10 (13:56):
Well I was just I was just gonna say on
the court, but yes too, Yes, like they're just goofy.
Kyle Kuzman and Jordan Pool are on the same team.
Go ahead, back to you, d thank you, thank you. Mark,
all right, we'll take a break.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
He is he's being called, you know, the Master of
the Portal. He's mister Portal he's Lane Kiffin. I don't
think he liked the portal at all. I think he
had some comments about it was bad. He'd never do,
you know whatever. He was kind of going down that
Debo Sweeney route, and then all of a sudden he's like, well,
I can get my quarterback from USC, and my leading
(14:30):
tackler is going to be from here, my leading running
back will be from here, and wide receiver. Everybody's from
other schools. And that is a really good team, as
Kirby Smart, George's head coach said after that loss, that's
the most talented team we will face this year. But
they did have the lost LSU lost to Kentucky. But
we'll talk to Lane Kiffin. Always good to talk to him.
(14:50):
We'll take a break, phone calls in the on deck
circle as well. They always spirited Nick right a little
later on as well. Back after this Dan Patrick show.
Fox Sports This Radio has the best sports talk lineup
in the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports
Radio dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR
to listen live. He's being called the Portal King. Lane
(15:13):
Kiffin will join us coming up here in a couple
of minutes. The Chicago Bears have fired their offensive coordinator.
I know they had one, maybe entitle Shane Waldron has
been fired by the Bears. The Bears point differential prior
to the Jaden Daniels hail Mary touchdown pass was plus fifty.
(15:38):
Since that pass, the Bears point differential is minus forty two.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Remember when they.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Went to London and Caleb Williams through four touchdown passes
and all of a sudden, you're going, Okay, this team
is good. Got a bye week coming up, you got
what Patriots, commander and the Cardinals, so you're thinking you
could probably win two or three and you're gonna have
six wins.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
You'll be six and three.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Now, the schedule is really tough second half of the season,
and you're looking at the Bears and thinking, and I
thought there were a nine win team this year. But
all of a sudden, you lose that game to the
Commanders and then it is gone south in a hurry,
and Matt Eberflus is just holding on for dear life.
He's not going to be there next year. You know,
(16:29):
when these coaches start firing people on the staff, then
you know it's like, well, I'm not going somebody has
got to go here. We got to show that we're
going to take names here. You know, we're going to
hold people accountable here. But the Bears, they had a
little bit of momentum. We saw Caleb throw four touchdown
(16:50):
passes and we're going, all right, all right, come back home,
And Paulie said, God, the worst thing you want if
you're a Bears fan is a bye week.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Like you don't want that. You want to keep playing.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
But Shane Waldron has been fired offensive coordinator for the
Chicago Bears. He is Lane Kiffin joining us on the program.
Ole miss head coach. He's known as the portal King. Now,
when did you get that title? When did you start
to embrace the transfer portal?
Speaker 7 (17:20):
I don't know about the title thing. We started on
the portal, you know when they change the rules, when
they created it and just really have utilized it. We
still sound a lot of really good high school players.
But it's basically just as you guys know professional sports.
It's just the free agency part of it.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
But you embraced it because initially you didn't like it.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
Well, I don't know that it's great for college football
and how many windows there are and there's no structure
like they having professional sports. You know, there's multiple windows
and guys can just keep going, keep transfer as many
times as they want. So I don't know that that's
really good for college football, but we still maximum We
maximize it because we make it good for old.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Mess How would you restructure it if you had the authority.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
Well, I think you just got to look at professional sports.
They've been doing things for a long time. You wouldn't
have multiple free agency windows, and you certainly wouldn't have
windows that before the season was over you could go into.
You know, we have a system where guys going at
the end of the season when teams are still playing,
so you know, that creates a lot of mental clutter
for the guys. Even when they haven't gone in, they
got other coaches calling them and trying to get them
(18:31):
out of there and talk about going to other places.
So it's a really poor system that way.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
But are you more likely to look at a transfer
than you are, Like, do you want a guy who's
twenty or twenty one who's proven or you want an
eighteen year old who's coming in as a freshman.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Well, I think it's really if you just think of
the system, the same way as the NFL. Like you know,
you can go free agency, but or you can go
heavy draft, or you can go somewhere in the middle.
And we still want to build through really good high
school players, which we have a number of those that
were making plays Saturday, but then we also go free agency.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Also where it gets a little.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
Different is you know, in this free agency you can
get somebody that got three years left or just one
year left, you know, because one year of eligibility. So
it's a little bit more complicated that way than just oh,
you're just gonna go sign the best portal players, and
you know, people a lot of people. It's not like
we're the only people that have done this. A lot
of people for the last few years have done this
(19:28):
and it hasn't worked. So just like free agency and
professional sports or looking at the NBA, you build these
teams that are supposed to be good, and you can't
buy culture, so you got to have other things in
place and make sure that you pick the right pieces
to come in that they play together, and some of
them end up having reduced roles from what they had
(19:48):
at previous places.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
You break big pregame speech.
Speaker 7 (19:52):
Guy, No, I think you know, you got it the
whole week just to talk to your team about things,
and football is kind of you hit in the mouth,
and I don't know anybody remembers that, So I don't
think there's there's a lot to that.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Did you say anything different prior to the Georgia game
that you maybe wouldn't have said previous games?
Speaker 7 (20:13):
No, No, now throughout offseason or the week, you know,
there were different things. The best thing that happened to
us is Georgia beat us pretty good there a year ago,
and the feeling of seeing that, the feeling of how
that game went, him being bullied around, and really the
line of scrimmages classic Georgia, what they do to a
lot of people, and made a decision that we got
(20:34):
to change our line of scrimmages. Even though we won
eleven games last year, we wanted to be Georgia, and
so we went out and we did that. We changed
the size of our line of scrimmages, the twitch of
our defensive ends in order to pass rush against them.
But we also game planned against Georgia a lot in offseason,
So it wasn't a speech, it wasn't even stuff that
was done that week. We spent a lot a lot
of time leading up to this game schematically as coaches
(20:57):
to prepare for it.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Also, so this is a year in the making that
you are like teams would do this with New England,
you would get ready to gear up to beat New
England when the Patriots were done. You're building your roster
to beat Georgia.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
I just felt that Georgia was by far and away
the top program in college football, and I think could
have won the national championship last year. They lost one
game to Nick Saban, which really outside of Alabama, nobody
has beat Georgia since COVID Florida. So they're the top
program by far. So yeah, when if you're going to
(21:32):
go in a championship, to me, it's got to go
through Georgia. So you better build your team to be
able to beat Georgia, especially when they're on our schedule.
And I said, at the beginning of your potential of
you may have to blame them twice.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Talking to Lane Kiffin, old miss head coach.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Got a bye week and then you'll be at Florida,
then you host Mississippi State.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
What do you think of the twelve team playoff?
Speaker 7 (21:53):
I think there's a lot of good. I think keeps
a lot of people excited, fans, keeps teams motivated to
be in it. With everything, there's a cost and a benefit,
and so those are the benefits. I think there's a
cost to that. You know, teams are programs are used to,
fans are used to the fifty teams win their last game.
Now you're going to have if you get in the
top twelve, eleven of them are no going to lose.
(22:14):
Only one is going to win their last game. So
I think that'll be a little bit different, and I
think they're going to have to learn, Like any system,
if you just start a playoff system, that's really kind
of bizarre the way it's put together about these buys
and UH five team and where you slate and you
get a home home game, And so I think I
think that will have a lot of work to do
because I think what probably won't happen the top twelve
(22:40):
teams won't get in, you know, different than an NFL
playoff where the top teams and they got to get in,
because people are going to choose who gets in, and
there's such an imbalance of conferences and what it's like
to have to play every week, for instance, this conference.
Some of these other conversations, you got to show up
two three times a year, really and you don't deal
with the hostile environments that you deal with in this conference.
(23:03):
So I think that that's so.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
Different.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
That's gonna be really hard to get about twelve teams,
especially with the setup where you know you can play
in a poorer conference when the conference you're gonna get
a buy and here comes, you know, some some great
team in a big ten or SEC that's you know,
potentially even going on the road.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
What do you think of coach Saban on game day?
Speaker 7 (23:27):
Little I've seen he's done awesome. I actually left him
a voiceman this morning just say, uh, he seems happy.
I didn't know that he would be. That's a long time,
a lot of years of a very scheduled person that
is used to routine. So but he seems happy and
probably a lot less stress.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
The uh storming the field cost old miss again gets
it's going to get even more expensive. I mean, I
guess it's a good problem to have. Uh you get
concerned when they're storm in the field with your own safety.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
No, not really. I think you talk about saving I
had a sabing moment actually that they were storming. The
field was still going on in our sid Kyle Campbell's
next to me, and so I gave him an ask
chewing about how do we not have a better structure
for this not in place? And everybody's like, you're beating
Georgia by three scores, and so it's kind of one
of those Saban chewing situations, even when I don't know
(24:28):
I was channeling, and maybe just because I was like,
all right, the only way to beat George is to think,
like Nick.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Saban, do you have uniform approval?
Speaker 7 (24:38):
Do I have uniform pro meaning like.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
You know, the the you know, color, color scheme, throwbacks,
any of that that they have to run it by you.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
I give that to our players. It's a player's game.
Players think like recruits also, so our players choose our
uniform combos. We opened up when we got here two
more options for them, just kind of what we got here.
I kind of said, Okay, we've got to be a
little bit different here at Old Miss. You know, we're
not a traditional national powerhouse, so we've got to create
(25:08):
something that players recruits want to come play at. So
let's have a really cool offense. Let's have neat uniforms,
let's play a different style. So I kind of said,
kind of copying the Oregon model years ago when they started.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
That, I'm not sure what color that blue is. We
thought it might have been Richard Petty blue. That how
he painted his car. Do you have an official Old
Miss color designation?
Speaker 7 (25:35):
Powder blue?
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Just powder blue? So what they say, I would say,
Richard Petty blue.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
Analytics and in powder blue, over our first years here,
we scored more points. I just feel like, sometimes you know,
you look good, feel good, you play good, and so
I think it looks good. I like it, and we
seem to score more points in it and play better,
so the players pick it. But sometimes in the bigger games,
I put that way.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Did any did they bring the gold post back.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
They were downtown? I saw that, and then somehow they
cut him up because one of my son's buddies brought
a piece up here. Knocking on the window last night,
Connecticut was a piece of the gold post.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Well, do you have an ample supply of goal posts
there at Old Miss that you can just you know,
bring him in. It's like if you break a backboard
in the NBA you know, you just replace it.
Speaker 7 (26:30):
That's a good question. With the good things, we have
a buy and then we play in the swamp and
then we come home, so maybybe we have some time
to go buy some of the field.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Congrats on the wind. Good to talk to you again.
Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 7 (26:44):
All right, guys, have a good week. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
That is uh, mister portal At least I saw an
article calling him the portal king there and certainly done
great things with it.
Speaker 9 (26:54):
Yes, Paul, he's so important to have in college football.
College football lost, you know Steve Spury or couple of
years ago, Nick Saban Harbaugh. We need characters in the game.
And also he's relevant because his team is relevant. Yeah,
he just he's perfect for college football.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
A couple of phone calls in here Sean and Oregon.
Hey Sean, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 12 (27:15):
Hey Dan, I didn't get to make the best and
Worst yesterday? And Lane Kiff and getting that win yesterday
after seeing how he left USC and now he finally
got a signature. Whin he's back on top.
Speaker 13 (27:27):
That was the very best.
Speaker 11 (27:29):
We that's a.
Speaker 12 (27:30):
Great America loves to see that, Okay, and the worst
the worst I want to say was learning of the
passing of one of the best play by play NBA
announcers there ever, was Brian Wheeler. On Friday, Yeah, I
say he loved by Blazer fans. And then then Sunday
we get to see the Blazers lose by forty five
(27:51):
points and they shoot four for forty two beyond the arc.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Yep, just keep shooting him. That's what. That's what. That's philosophy.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Hey, it doesn't matter you can't shoot him, but keep
shooting him. I never understood that not every team is
Golden State or the Celtics. Now, the Celtics have out
warriored the Warriors.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
You know, they like.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Fifty threes they attempt. It's not a big deal, yes, Mark.
Speaker 10 (28:18):
And the fact that Victor is seven to four. He
shot twelve three pointers last night. I know he made six,
but he's gonna have some nights where he makes one
of twelve.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Yeah, probably seven. Just keep shooting, Just keep shooting. Also
the passing of a former USC coach, John Robinson. He
was a really nice guy. He's a nice man. Every
time I was around him, he was just he asked
you questions and like he just had a I don't
know a warmth about him when you talk to him.
(28:48):
I always enjoyed him. Passed away yesterday, Vince in Austin. Hi, Vince,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 14 (28:56):
Hey, good morning, BP, gentlemen, seating DP. I want to
get your feedback on this Colorado having a great season
or a good season seven to two A post from
last year. They were in the Pac twelve or the
middle Pac twelve. Now they're in the Big twelve. Is
it because the Big twelve isn't as strong or is
(29:16):
Colorado actually got better? I have some watching them. I
think they're very talented to the best players in college
football today.
Speaker 15 (29:24):
But it just.
Speaker 14 (29:24):
Because they're in the weaker conference or are they actually
better of combination of both.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
It's a combination, Vince. I think that Dion has rounded
up some players to round out that roster because he
was top heavy. You had his son and you had
Travis Hunter, and those are two of the top ten
top five players in the country. They just needed to
have a fuller roster. And that's why I said, if
you didn't get Dion last year, you weren't going to
(29:50):
get him this year. I also think being in the
Big twelve easier schedule as well. But you know he's
not going to win Sports the Year this year. Although
he won four games last year and won Sportsman of
the Year, which was silly, but he's won seven.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
It's been quieter.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
It just feels like this is more about football than entertainment,
and maybe that's a good thing.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Doug in North Carolina, Good morning, Doug. What's on your mind?
Speaker 11 (30:19):
Well, Dan, I have a possible assignment for the IE team,
and Polly, this is right up your alley because it
pertains to uniforms. I've noticed in the past year, this season,
several times this season, a couple of times this weekend,
that when a tackle is being made in the NFL,
it looks like the end up giving the guy a
wedgie because there's some elastic fabric that is either hanging
(30:43):
out from the back of their shirts or out from
their pants, and the guys are grabbing onto that and
I'm just trying to figure out what is that material
and why is it there. The most obvious example is
if you pull up David Montgomery's touchdown run against the Cowboys,
you'll see it there's some elastic material that is giving
(31:03):
the solution.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
I like that this is bothering. Doug Paulie is on this, Yes, paul.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Of course we are.
Speaker 9 (31:10):
David Montgomery, he had like a towel tucked in and
like it's almost like stapled into his pants. And when
he almost got deepants. It also happened to Derrick Henry
he almost got deepants the other day. We saw a
little just a touch of crack. No offense. But the
bigger issue is a lot of the skill position players,
especially wide receivers, wear tight jerseys and then have a
(31:30):
long T shirt sticking out of them. This T shirt
now is being grabbed and pulled and ripped. It's a
very slovenly looked by the way. I don't like the
T shirt hanging out underneath the jersey. But there's a
lot of guys reaching for tackles and slowing guys down
because there's a loose T shirt under their jersey.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
I was wondering if you would do a jersey onesie,
so it would you know, like if you have a
one year old and they snap underneath, maybe you could
do that like a onesie that snaps underneath.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
But that touchdown.
Speaker 9 (32:02):
He was talking about Montgomery, he has a shirt underneath
his jersey that it comes out about three or four here.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
Yes, is there a male onesie? I feel like our
equipment makes that less possible. Oh, I think you could
do it. It goes over a diaper. Yeah, like you
could have a trapdoor if.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
You wanted to. But yeah, you could do a onesie.
Speaker 6 (32:29):
You think so?
Speaker 3 (32:30):
I think so.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Yeah, maybe maybe we get into the onesie business.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Yes, time, it would be a lot less holding.
Speaker 10 (32:37):
Also, if they're just wearing a tight one, I know,
gripping on, it's kind of right on their skin.
Speaker 6 (32:41):
Can't pull on their jersey.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
Thank you, Ton Trent in Virginia, Hi Trent.
Speaker 14 (32:48):
Hey DP.
Speaker 13 (32:49):
Congratulations to the Bears for doing the obvious. I saw
the stats this morning when the news broke. It's pretty
sad that when the Bears drafted their punter, Williams texted
him kind of hey, welcome, but you're not getting one here.
But somehow the Bears punter has more punching yards than
Caleb Williams.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
All right, all right, thank you Tren. Yes, the Bears
who fired their offensive coordinator. All right, let's take a break.
Got our play of the day up next.

Penguins play by play voice scratch my back with a
hacksaw or chainsaw or something.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
He had a few of those. Yes, yes, Tom, I'm
saying a lot.
Speaker 10 (34:59):
I've slapped my bleep or smack my bleep and call
me Judy as a yes, you're an appropriate version.
Speaker 9 (35:05):
The comedian John Lovettz had a episode of Friends where
he was really weird and wild and he said, smack
my blank and call me Judy, and I guess that's
what the reference is.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Okay, I don't remember that. I'm missing something here. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
The avalanche of taking a to one lead, slap my way,
call me Judy.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (35:27):
This is the NHL on TNT.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Thank you, Thank you. Kevin Harley.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
By the way, the twelve and oh start for the
Cleveland Cavaliers. They're halfway towards the Golden State Warriors, who
in twenty fifteen went twenty four and oh to open
up their season. That year, they won seventy three games,
lost the NBA Finals two.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
The Cavaliers steat of the day stat of the day,
that best stead of the day? Stat of the day?
Here comes that? What stat of the day? Andrew in Washington,
Hi Andrew, what's on your mind?
Speaker 11 (36:06):
Oh?
Speaker 16 (36:07):
Good morning, Dan, thanks for taking my call. I am
Andrew in Washington with a pH steven as a middle name.
I'm pH balanced with my name, But I was going
to talk about the Cavaliers too. Are the Cavaliers so
the only eight team to start twelve and oh in
their season? But really the Washington Wizards of twelve and
oh starts in the NBA. I mean they've played only
(36:28):
two teams with a winning record, the Lakers and the Warriors.
Other than that, if you combine the total amount of
games that they've played again, I mean the twelve and
oh teams, they're thirty eight percent winning percentage. So I mean,
how real is that twelve and oh? I know you
guys got a couple of bets going on that they're
going to win the championship. The guy's going to get
so many pies from all of his kids.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
All right, Well, thank you, Andrew. No, I think they're
a good team. They're a playoff team that starting five
is really good. It's young. They got Donovan Mitchell, Garland
is healthy, mobiley, they.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
Don't have household names.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
See, once again, we usually only see certain teams, whether
it's the Mothership or TNT. They're probably not bringing you
a lot of Cavalier games unless it's a Cavalier game
against the Lakers. Therefore, if you don't watch them, then
you kind of dismiss them, and I think be fair
to them. Watch him play. I think you'd be surprised
(37:26):
how good they are. And Mitchell Mitchell is a guy.
He's probably six ' one, maybe maybe six ' two,
and you don't see guys like that doing what he does.
Like it's very deceptive because you know, first time I
saw Donovan Mitchell in college, I was like aund six
three sixty four and then stand next to him and
(37:46):
you're like, I'm taller than him. Garland, you know, I'd
liked Mobili when he was in college, thought he would
be a really good pro. And Alan is good. Like
they have a good team. It's a good, solid team.
I'm not saying they're winning the title or challenging the Celtics,
but they are a good story. It's just we kind
(38:06):
of get brainwashed with what are good stories in the NBA.
Maybe not good teams, but the Lakers are always talked about,
the Celtics sort of, Dallas is in there, Milwaukee's bad,
Philadelphia is bad, and so you get these storylines and
then we sort of feel like those storylines are what
(38:26):
is really indicative of what's going on in the NBA
Oklahoma City had a roster last night where I think
everybody was six six or smaller because Chad Holmgren's out
for two and a half months, maybe three months. They
played small ball and Shay Gilgess Alexander I think put
up forty five.
Speaker 10 (38:43):
Yes, Marvin, I think the Cavaliers are a position like
the twenty fifteen Hawks. I think they won like sixty
games and they have four All Stars. But in the
conference finals they faced Lebron James. Yeah, so they're like,
that's a cute story, but Lebron's here, And I think
that's what the Cavaliers of this year might fall into,
is they're a great story. But guess what, the Celtics
(39:04):
don't care about this. They're ready for the playoffs and
they're trying to win a championship. So that might be
the problem that the Cavaliers face going forward.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
Ben in Baltimore. I Ben, what's on your mind?
Speaker 15 (39:13):
Hey, gentlemen, Good morning, Dan. I overslept this morning, so
I appreciate you calling me to wake me up so
I wasn't late.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
For work today. You're welcome, Ben Todd.
Speaker 15 (39:22):
You and I have a connection that is unlike any other.
Your garbage fail. Kid was Odd Todd and mine was
Ben and they were the same character like in Dewart
characters Dot We'll be together forever, brother. Quick question about
the NBA and maybe your guy's thoughts on this three
point debacle that's going on, because it really is kind
of unwatchable at times. How about after ten misses, ten
(39:43):
three point misses for every myss you lose a point.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
I would love them.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
I'd love the NBA to say We're going to have
one week no threes.
Speaker 6 (39:56):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
We're gonna take away the three point shot. Just see
how it looks, how the players feel about it. Years years,
years years ago, mid nineties, I challenged my bosses to
have a no dunk highlight night. We were not going
to have any dunks because I said, that's not basketball.
(40:19):
I mean, it's part of basketball, but we would just
rely on it and say uh and KG and the
Timberwolves ended up winning, and then you'd show a dunk
at the end of the day, like there was I
don't know. I wanted to see a little bit more
basketball instead of a highlight and so we went through
the entire show, all the NBA games. The last play
(40:41):
of the last highlight, there was a dunk like it
just became part of you know, our DNA when we
put together highlights. Oh you got to show a dunk.
Oh you got it. Now it's got to show threes.
Got to shoot threes. That's all the game is threes.
I know, I know, Get off my lawn guy, Dan
