00:00:00
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio.

00:00:04
Speaker 2: H Welcome, It's a med Friday, Dan and the Dan Edge Dan Patrick Show. A lot of football. We'll recap last night, look ahead to this weekend eight seven, seven to three. DP Show operator Tyler is sitting by. He'll take your phone calls. We'll have a poll question, play the day, stat of the Day, all of that forthcoming.

00:00:21
Speaker 3: Good morning.

00:00:21
Speaker 2: If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for allowing us into your homes and our radio affiliates around the country as well. We have an email address DP at Danpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show and Seatan will do the honors with the poll question coming up. Well, it was a moral victory. If you there's no column when you see one or loss or time, there's not one for moral victory or a quality loss because the Dolphins could have won that game. They went toe to toe and they gave you that glimpse of this is who they really should be. And you're tied at twenty one. You have the roughing the punter, and then that changed the game right there. You know you're an eyelash away from getting a finger on that punt, and then all of a sudden, the game probably changes changes in Miami's position, but you don't block the punt, you rough the punter, and then all of a sudden, the Buffalo Bill's tack on ten more end up winning stat of the day.

Barry Jackson, a great columnist with the Miami Herald, had some questions about the Miami Dolphins after the loss. Now I've said it, I wouldn't have given to that contract extension because he hasn't earned it, hadn't earned it. Plus you look at his record, and then you look at his health, and I never would have given him a one hundred and sixty seven million dollar contract after the twenty twenty three season. In that season, he went one in six against good teams, and they couldn't score more than twenty two points. The Dolphins gave him a four year, two hundred twelve million dollar contract in twenty twenty four. They didn't have to because they controlled him through twenty twenty six fifth year option. Then they could have used the franchise tag on him a couple of times. So this isn't revisionist history on my part. I just couldn't trust him to stay healthy, and I didn't think he was playing great football. You know, for an offensive might have head coach and Mike McDaniel and you have Tyreek Hill Jalen Waddle. They're supposed to lead with their offense. They're supposed to be a team scoring at least thirty points. Again, but even last night twenty two to thirty four, one sixty one to two touchdowns, had the interception passer rating eighty one. But the Dolphins are two to ten in his last twelve starts against good teams. But if you look at the point total, that's the thing that stood out for me. Granted they could have won that game. You get seventeen against Philadelphia, twenty against Buffalo, fourteen against Kansas City, twenty two against Dallas, nineteen against Baltimore, seventeen against Buffalo, seven versus Kansas City, twenty seven versus the Bills, twenty three versus the Rams, seventeen versus Green Bay, twelve versus Houston, and then twenty one last night against Buffalo. So one game where Tua was the quarterback, they went over twenty three points against a good opponent. It's not good enough. Won't get it done. And it's not just on him, but that's where you start him and the head coach Mike McDaniel, and Tua should be on the hot seat. Can't fire the quarterback, but you can fire the coach. But they gave you an idea of they can play, they can be competitive. But two, what got hit once? So it wasn't like man Buffalo's defense. Buffalo's defense isn't great, at least not right now. And I thought Buffalo played an okay game, but you got to at some point you got to win these games. If you stole that game, and then you win the standalone game Monday night against the Jets, Okay, now we called off the dogs.

00:04:27
Speaker 3: The heat dies down a little bit.

00:04:29
Speaker 2: You're two and two, but now you got to win the game against the Jets, and that'll be standalone game on a Monday night, and all your problems come forward.

00:04:42
Speaker 3: Everything is on display.

00:04:44
Speaker 4: Now.

00:04:44
Speaker 2: Sometimes that's great when you go, hey, we're going to showcase our talent. This is like, oh boy, I hope they spend a little more time on the Jets than they do us. But here is the Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel. After the loss, for.

00:04:58
Speaker 5: Expectation was to come in here and win the game. And we knew we had to not turn the ball over, and we knew we had to, you know, try to get at least plus or at least even with them in the in the takeaway department, and we had to play good football, make some plays. And you know, we had a turnover in a critical situation, we had a critical penalty against on a punt. Those types of things can that's how these types of games are decided. So it feels like a loss, and it feels like we have a lot of motivation to get.

00:05:38
Speaker 3: Back to work.

00:05:39
Speaker 2: It feels like when Mike is at the microphone, it's like the press secretary for the White House, like I'm gonna translate, I'm going to tell you some things. It's not the president who's going to be speaking, it's the press secretary.

00:05:52
Speaker 3: But it's just didn't sound inspiring. And I think we.

00:05:58
Speaker 2: Go back to that first law to the colts that set the tone. And then you have a player's only meeting. When you have a player's only meeting after one week, that's doom and gloom. There's no excuse like this the first game of the season. I'm always amazed when a coach says, hey, we weren't ready to play. How is that possible? You had seven months to get ready to play a game. We weren't ready.

00:06:25
Speaker 6: Huh.

00:06:27
Speaker 2: It wasn't like, hey, you have this game and you got a game in four days. It was seven months to get ready and to it was just, you know, it's just kind of a to a performance there, and it's not all on him. But man, we give the quarterbacks too much credit and too much blame.

00:06:47
Speaker 3: And that's the case right here.

00:06:48
Speaker 7: Yes, Martin, football is the one sport where I will not take we weren't ready to play as an excuse. You had seven days every single week. You have seven days to prepare for the next team. What do you mean, NBA, MLB, NHL? You play every day. Basically, you had seven days. What do you mean you're not ready?

00:07:07
Speaker 2: Well, they weren't ready for the opening week against the Colts either.

00:07:11
Speaker 6: Seven days, seven months. Either way, they weren't ready.

00:07:14
Speaker 2: So the Bills hold off the Dolphins thirty one twenty one. They're now three and oh the Dolphins are zero and three. Is it just me or does every Bills tight end sound like he has the same name they got? They got some Dawson and Dalton and Paul. There's three tight ends there, and it feels like they're on the WB. They're on a show.

00:07:35
Speaker 8: Yeah. Their quarterback room, as people like to say, is Dalton Kincaid, Dawson Knox, and Jackson Hawes.

00:07:43
Speaker 9: Houdle.

00:07:43
Speaker 7: What on it for all lost to be over coming next on the WB?

00:07:49
Speaker 3: Oh?

00:07:50
Speaker 6: Yeah, well Dawson break it up with John coming up next.

00:07:54
Speaker 2: I kept thinking, I'm trying to I'm getting confused. Is it Dalton Knox, Is it Dawson Knox? Is a Dalton? It does sound like the starting rotation for Mississippi State's baseball. Yes, yeah, we got Dawson out there, and then we're gonna bring a Dalton out there.

00:08:11
Speaker 8: Bring Carter Hendrix about the bend.

00:08:14
Speaker 2: They sounded like fake names to be like okay, and and they love their tight ends there in Buffalo. All right, Seaton, what's Oh, it's a meat Friday. Here is the menu. Beef and chariso chili, Jalapanio, cheddar, corn bread, bacon, corn bread.

00:08:37
Speaker 3: Has it better than we do? No beef and chariso chili?

00:08:43
Speaker 8: Yes, I am a huge Charisa supporter from way back.

00:08:46
Speaker 3: That's good.

00:08:47
Speaker 8: My concern though, is the guy behind me having cheriso and then a drive home.

00:08:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's about an hour drive. You are a grown up, so I'll let you handle accordingly.

00:08:57
Speaker 6: Through the whole. Fill up to plate like a big pictures.

00:08:58
Speaker 8: Now chili's out of clay.

00:09:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, why don't you just hold your cheriso?

00:09:03
Speaker 6: There? Pace myself yet?

00:09:05
Speaker 10: Yeah?

00:09:06
Speaker 3: Long drive home, but it's a Friday.

00:09:08
Speaker 6: That's right. I'll stop at a mobile or Sonoka.

00:09:10
Speaker 3: What you got to do? Do you know the codes? The bathroom codes on one of.

00:09:15
Speaker 11: Them has the key with like a brick attack through it. This other guy, he sends me into some back room.

00:09:20
Speaker 2: Do you even by gasoline? When you go into these gas stations?

00:09:24
Speaker 6: Rarely? I'm more like I get a big of chips and like a coke.

00:09:28
Speaker 3: They're like, oh, here comes that guy again.

00:09:30
Speaker 6: Great, close up shop till tomorrow. We're closed.

00:09:35
Speaker 3: Do they do police tape outside?

00:09:37
Speaker 6: Do not cross? It's embarrassing when they stop puting the tape around you while you're strolling here.

00:09:43
Speaker 2: All right, So we'll run down the football matchups NFL and college over the weekend. Our good buddy Clayton Kershaw to retire after the playoffs. We'll talk about that. He's pitched really well this year. And I love that you can come to that decision. That's a really hard decision, especially when you're playing well. So many athletes go, I can't go like Travis Kelcey, I can't go out this way. You can't, but you might go out in a worse way the following season. But Clayton Kershaw has pitched well. They've needed him to pitch well. And when you start to look at these pitchers like true pitchers, you got Scherzer, Verlander, Kershaw, and pretty much after that, the ACE is done with Major League Baseball. And I wonder how we're going to look at numbers for pitchers for the Hall of Fame, because it used to be if you got to two hundred and two fifty. Okay, maybe a little more than that. Now it's going to be one fifty. I mean, Jacob de gram is kind of a dinosaur in there as well. But for the most part, the starting pitcher and how we view them is going to change dramatically because you won't. I mean, Verlanders pitch pretty well second half of the season. I think he wants to pitch again. I think he wants to get three hundred. I don't know where he is. He's pretty close. And then Scherzer is in there. He wants to continue to pitch. But Clayton Kershaw wonderful season and first Ballance Hall of Famer.

00:11:18
Speaker 3: He was a great, great pitcher.

00:11:20
Speaker 2: We hope to have him on before the end of the regular season or the postseason. All right, Seaton, you've got a poll question for me.

00:11:28
Speaker 12: Not only do I have a poll question for you, but I was lucky enough to get three from Todd at two thirty am last night. I don't know if Todd, I know they're very important. These are the things that are on Todd's mind if he wants to share those. Sleep was very restless, and then I got a recap email after that saying here I put all three just in one email now for convenience.

00:11:44
Speaker 3: Okay, very thought.

00:11:45
Speaker 2: I will warn the audience Fritzy got a little loose yesterday on the twelve to fifteen podcast. It's the wrap up with the back room guys, and it feels like that's a spillover and it's Friday Fritzy on full display. All right, Todd, would you like to give.

00:12:00
Speaker 3: Us the three pole questions that you came up with at two in the morning.

00:12:04
Speaker 11: The first one you've already touched on or we've already touched on, was less not a moral victory for the Dolphins in Buffalo. The choice is being absolutely they stood toe to toe with a much better opponent. That's keeping it positive. Absolutely not, they still lost by double digits. Third choice, there are no moral victories, only losses, especially at the zero to three mark of your season.

00:12:23
Speaker 2: I think it depends on what the expectation level was or is for the team. The Dolphins are supposed to be a playoff team, or at least on the cusp of being a playoff team. I don't think you can have moral victories if you're a team that's supposed to be a playoff contender. I think the Browns can have a moral victory, or Carolina can have a moral victory. A couple of these teams, but not many, because I think the NFL is built in a way that everybody should be kind of hovering around seven, eight or nine wins, and the Dolphins should be that kind of team. I don't think it's a moral victory. I think this is who they're supposed to be. It's not like they played out of their minds where we go, Wow, that was a big surprise. It wasn't a surprise to me because they're built for offense, and they stayed in the game and when it came to crunch time two is you know qbr if you follow, that is terrible in the you know, the last five minutes of a game, in a one score game, he has a terrible QBR. I mean that's where these games are won and lost. That's the difference between my quarterback and your quarterback. How many times did we do that with Brady? How much times left two minutes? What's he need? He needs touchdown? Damn, you guys are going to lose Mahomes Montana. I mean, oh way, run down the list of great quarterbacks of all time. Now two is not in that category. But I expect Josh Allen to do that. I expect Lamar Jackson to do that. I don't expect two a tongue of Iiloa to do it. If I do, I'm surprised. But he does have weapons.

00:13:59
Speaker 1: He's got two of.

00:13:59
Speaker 2: The fastest guys in the NFL. You got the fastest guy in the NFL. Oh yeah, I just two yard passes here, That's all I need to do. It's two yards and you take it thirty. We both get credit for, you know, a thirty yard touchdown pass, but I don't. That's not a moral victory, all right, What else do you have?

00:14:20
Speaker 11: The second one? Is the best NFL Week three matchup is And this is just an alphabetical order, not because I'm a Bronco fan. Broncos Chargers, Rams, Eagles, Lions, Ravens, Monday.

00:14:30
Speaker 6: Night Football or other.

00:14:31
Speaker 11: Could there be something other than those three as the best game of Week three?

00:14:35
Speaker 2: Well, I would say the rematch with the Rams and the Eagles, But I mean even the Bengals Vikings with the backup quarterbacks is kind of interesting to me. Broncos Chargers is big, and Lions Ravens, but I would say Rams in the Eagles because I thought the Rams were a better team in the second half of that game. I know you got to play a full game, but I thought the Rams were going to win that playoff game.

00:15:00
Speaker 6: What else and the last one a little off the board.

00:15:01
Speaker 11: I think the other day we were talking about Haley Joel osmond Enough was on the air off the air that and we've said many times that he should have won the Academy Award over Michael Kine. So if you had the sixth sense, if you had that ability, I guess it's maybe at Disciplie. It's a horrible thing in that movie to have that. Which group of dead people would.

00:15:16
Speaker 3: You most happy to have? The sixties?

00:15:18
Speaker 11: He looked very upset when he was telling Bruce Willis that he's got this thing. I don't think it was affliction, whatever you want to call it. Nobody wants to see dead people pop it around. It's kind of scary. But if you had the sixth sense, which group of dead people would you most want to see floating around around you? Actors, actresses, athletes, family slash pets, musicians, presidents, supermodels, super models in their prime, not when they're eighty and they passed away of natural causes.

00:15:44
Speaker 3: So this is what you're doing it two in the morning, between.

00:15:47
Speaker 11: Two fifteen and two forty five in the morning, I was tossing him like and just a few of these poll questions.

00:15:51
Speaker 6: The first two were fairly obvious. The third one was a little odd to be thinking about it.

00:15:55
Speaker 2: No, it's very odd. But there's only one right answer, and that's your family, you would think.

00:15:58
Speaker 6: But I don't know if it's going to complet run away with I'm very curious the.

00:16:01
Speaker 2: Last time you said, man, I'm thinking of that supermodel who was eighty years like, I'm not thinking of Bridget Bardough or rock how Welsh or any of these women who passed away.

00:16:12
Speaker 6: One of my uncles I liked, but it was between the uncle Joe. He was a little weird.

00:16:17
Speaker 11: Sometimes at the satyr at the passover table, I might have to go with one of the supermodels that passed away. It's not everyone, but I'm curious. It's not going to be one hundred percent. And obviously you feel like compelled. You got to pick family and pets.

00:16:27
Speaker 2: I got to put a hard cap on you today. I think there has to be it's a valid question.

00:16:31
Speaker 6: Do you guys think it's one hundred percent of the vote's gonna go to your family?

00:16:34
Speaker 2: Okay, if I said you could revisit with your father, oh forget. Of course, anyone loves answer.

00:16:40
Speaker 6: It's the right answer.

00:16:41
Speaker 11: But not everyone is like, oh, I wish I could go see my grandma and my dad again.

00:16:45
Speaker 6: Some are like, screw that.

00:16:46
Speaker 11: I want to see the famous athletes to hang out with, a walk around, or just see them floating by.

00:16:51
Speaker 6: It could happen.

00:16:51
Speaker 8: Yeah, I was thinking I'd go with Charles Groden over my dad. That's what I was thinking about.

00:16:59
Speaker 7: Yes, marm sorry everyone for two was on a twel fifteen podcast. I put a disclaimer up because he was like this yesterday, and we could have put a hard cap on it, like you guys did, like Aunt Michelle, Johnny Uniers and Grandma's kind of smelled and I didn't like her.

00:17:16
Speaker 2: Were going, okay, all right, we're gonna take a break here and we'll come up with a legitimate poll question here, at least for the first time we're the program. But thank you Todd for your contributions. All right, we'll take a break. We're back after this.

00:17:29

00:18:09
Speaker 2: Morales High, It's a Meet Friday, It's a Fritzy Friday as well, and a full slate of college and pro football to discuss coming up. Pauli says that he has a hammer poll question.

00:18:21
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think this one's really tough to answer. Going back to the twenty twenty draft, which quarterback will end up having the best career Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Jalen Hurts, Jordan love Tua.

00:18:36
Speaker 3: Best career Jalen Hurts, Jalen Hurts.

00:18:41
Speaker 2: The other guys will have far better stats, but Jalen Hurts will have if there's one more super Bowl in there. I mean, he's a Hall of Famer. I can't say that about the other quarterbacks. If Joe Burrow wins one and he went to one, okay, we could have a discussion. But you know, you start to look at the inies and the age, and then next thing you know, you're Patrick Mahomes. You're thirty. Now he's done an awful lot before thirty. But these other quarterbacks are knocking on the door of twenty eight, twenty nine, thirty years of age. And I know they're playing longer, but it feels like it's really difficult to stay healthy for an entire season.

00:19:21
Speaker 3: No matter Tua didn't get hit.

00:19:23
Speaker 2: He got hit one time last night and still put up kind of pedestrian numbers against a defense that's not great, maybe opportunistic, but I would say Jalen Hurts just because he's going to win games.

00:19:37
Speaker 3: He's going to be in big games.

00:19:40
Speaker 2: And I know that we look at our quarterbacks and Jalen Hurts may be the modern day version of yes, Marvin Trake me bloop yes, where we look at if you look at Troy's stats, and you're like, he's a Hall of Famer. Well, he did it for the Cowboys and they won three Super Bowls. And Jalen Hurts, I don't think he's thrown for over two hundred yards yet this year in the first two games.

00:20:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, Pauline, if.

00:20:09
Speaker 8: We did this poll question two and a half years ago, Joe Burrow would have got ninety five percent of it.

00:20:13
Speaker 3: Probably.

00:20:14
Speaker 8: Yeah, is there any wiggle room or consideration for you guys with Justin Herbert? Now that he's got Jim Harbaugh.

00:20:20
Speaker 2: He's got to win a playoff game. Like he's melted down in a couple of playoff games. And yes he does. Like the infrastructure is there and he should be great. But I got to see you he's to a lesser, far lesser degree than Lamar Jackson. But I want to see what you do in the postseason. I'm surprised when Justin Herbert isn't great, but I want to see what you do in the postseason. And Jalen Hurts has come up big. I mean, they thought about him as the MVP and a losing effort in the Super Bowl. He played that well. But I would say Jalen Hurts would be the guy all right eight seven to seven to three. DP show email address dpat Danpatrick dot com, Twitter handle a DP show Buddha in San Francisco. Good morning, Buddha, No buddy, Happy meet Friday Boys.

00:21:15
Speaker 14: Every day the Super Bowl, Fritzy, let's.

00:21:18
Speaker 6: Go, Let's go.

00:21:20
Speaker 14: Dad real quick stead of the day. Josh Allen has forty five touchdowns and fifteen games against the Dolphins. That is wild and I couldn't help but think about all the people, Dan who took the Bills last night for their survivor pick.

00:21:38
Speaker 15: They were a luck given twelve points. But man, that was interesting for at least a half. I mean, Dolphins had America's attention that halftime, and then it all turned out to be not good.

00:21:51
Speaker 3: Thank you, Buddha. Zach and Knoxville, Hi Zach, what's on your mind today?

00:21:57
Speaker 16: Hi ADP, Thanks for taking my call. The Buffalo Bill's tight ends. That is first team all white American Trust Fund baby names right there. But here in Knoxville we have an influx of kids named Peyton, and in the nineties you had an influx of kids named Jalen after Jalen Rose. Was there a name a sports figure in the areas that you or the Danatz grew up in that was like really popular amongst kids.

00:22:24
Speaker 2: I don't remember somebody being named after an athlete when I was growing up. It's a good question, but I'm just doing the rolodex of all the people I knew, and I can't remember somebody saying, oh, he's named after Joe Namath or Johnny United's I never ran into that. I mean, there might have been people in Cincinnati with Johnny Bench or Pete Rose maybe, but I don't recall that Nathan in Indiana, Hey Nate, what's on your mind today?

00:22:59
Speaker 17: Hey Dan?

00:23:00
Speaker 3: Doing good?

00:23:01
Speaker 16: Good?

00:23:02
Speaker 17: So the only poll question that.

00:23:04
Speaker 18: Matters today and a lot of Polly's is chiwi.

00:23:08
Speaker 17: Do you prefer classic chili chili with noodles or white chicken chili?

00:23:13
Speaker 3: Okay, pull noodles.

00:23:16
Speaker 8: I almost fell out of my chair. That's Cincinnati, right.

00:23:20
Speaker 3: Well, they do spaghetti, not noodles, but you.

00:23:22
Speaker 8: Know, yeah, they take chili put it on top of pasta noodles. Yes, that's that's not really a chili. It's a chili on top of something. Yes, I like beef chili Texas style mostly.

00:23:33
Speaker 3: Hopefully that answered your question.

00:23:35
Speaker 2: Keith and Ohio Hi Keith or no Cheico, I'm sorry, Hike, Keith.

00:23:40
Speaker 18: Hey Dan and Dan D's good morning. Good morning, five six and a saw.

00:23:48
Speaker 3: Soft.

00:23:50
Speaker 18: I wanted to talk about the Lines and ask a question.

00:23:53
Speaker 19: After the dominant win over the Bears last week, they somewhat have recaptured their offensive prowess in firepower. Granted the Bears did not play well, and now Detroit travels to Baltimore for a huge Monday night matchup. If the Lines win that game, how will that change your perception of them in terms of their coaching staff, personnel and where they stand in the NFC. Obviously it's still the Eagles and Packers at the top of the NFC, but with win over Baltimore, that will probably shake things up a little bit.

00:24:20
Speaker 3: Thank you guys, Happy meat Friday. All right, thank you, Keith.

00:24:22
Speaker 2: Well, I have the Lines going to the Super Bowl, so I'm not surprised if they win this game. They are getting four and a half against the Ravens. The Chiefs are giving six against the Giants. Is this a must win for the Chiefs?

00:24:38
Speaker 17: Like?

00:24:38
Speaker 2: Have we gotten to must win situation? Because I think after that the Chiefs play the Ravens, that would be the must must if you lose this one, and then I think you got Jacksonville as well, and you can't say, well, they'll beat Jacksonville if you if you don't beat the Giants, you can't say, well they'll beat Jacksonville. Let's see the Cowboys is one and a half in Chicago.

00:25:03
Speaker 3: Hmm is that going to be thirty eight? Thirty seven? Final?

00:25:10
Speaker 2: Packers minus eight and a half against the Browns, Jets getting seven against the Bucks, the Rams getting three and a half against the Eagles. Mike Colts minus four and a half against the Titans. See that's the game. The Colts lose, they do a lot of hype. Danny Dimes, Hey, look at what they're doing. The Raiders at the Commanders. Raiders getting three and a half. Steelers minus one and a half against the Patriots, the Bengals getting three at the Vikings in the backup quarterback bash uh Broncos plus two and a half at the Chargers. Of just some of the point spreads there for entertainment purposes. Oh my, yes, Going back to.

00:25:52
Speaker 8: That caller who mentioned baby names, and you ever name your kid after an athlete? The name Jordan for boys in America back in the seventh was like in the four fifties, it was not popular in any way, not even the top one hundred. After Michael Jordan became MVP a decade later, it was fifty second of boys' names in the America at one point, got up to the eighteenth most popular boy's name in America in the early nineties.

00:26:18
Speaker 2: But there have to be numbers of the most popular name that was after an athlete or an entertainer attainer or an actor. I'm guessing they probably have lists that say this because it's got to be at the height of this person's fame. Where you go, I mean, how many tailors are going to be out there for Taylor Swift and Travis's You.

00:26:42
Speaker 8: Brought up the name Elvis was almost unused before nineteen fifty in America, and it became the eightieth most popular name in America ten years later.

00:26:51
Speaker 2: Okay, uh Tom in North Carolina's back?

00:26:56
Speaker 20: Hi Tom, I never remember I Unfortunately I haven't been with the DP show from you know, day one inception.

00:27:08
Speaker 10: But you know, being a convert, you know, being a DIEHRD. I've been looking back at.

00:27:12
Speaker 9: Some of the old YouTube clips, some of the things like that, and I remember you guys used to you know, kind of maybe like a big news event or something like that, Fritzie would make a mock headline or something like that. And with Clayton Kershaw retiring, you know, I think it's only fitting.

00:27:31
Speaker 10: But wait, I'm just getting word. There is a clip of Fritzy doing a mock headline of Clayton Kirshaw. But it's not about him retiring, obviously, But there's a lot of substance in that video. Dan, it's a six minute clip. I don't know if you know, if you're on the YouTube channel, the Dan Patrick YouTube channel, you know it's Captain obvious mock failure. You know, it's a day that Paul's out. You know, he blames you. I don't want to give it all away, but you know, if you I want to show you that that's you know, it was one of the things that actually when I you know, first all it's one of the one that I put on my favorites that I watch quite a bit.

00:28:09
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Tom. It's kind of a long winded way of almost telling me what we said in that clip without telling me. I can't look at it now, Tom, I'm busy want to show six minute clip there, Todd, do you remember your mock headline? Did you make fun of Clayton Kershaw?

00:28:29
Speaker 6: I hope I didn't. I love Clayton Kersher.

00:28:31
Speaker 11: I don't know what he could have done that would have been guarded me having to make fun of him with a mock headliner.

00:28:35
Speaker 3: Well, maybe it was a poor playoff. Could have been, could have been.

00:28:40
Speaker 6: I'm not show what rhymes with Clayton or Kershaw, but it doesn't have to be a rhyme. We'll have to look for that.

00:28:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes your rhymes aren't rhymes.

00:28:47
Speaker 11: Often rhymes like a fuck and falk and all that kind of stuff.

00:28:51
Speaker 3: Now we're not We don't need that again. Fork falk, Marshall Fork. When you come to the work in the road, I'm.

00:29:03
Speaker 6: Kind need to go to see see some auditory specialists or something.

00:29:06
Speaker 3: Lucas in Texas, Hi, Luke, what's on your mind? Hey Dan? Good morning? Good morning.

00:29:13
Speaker 21: All right, I'll I'll air out our own family's history a little bit. I am named after an athlete, and I have three boys named after athletes. My middle name is Ryan, and my the only reason my name is not Nolan Ryan is because my dad lost some arguments UH, and so they eventually settled on Lucas.

00:29:32
Speaker 4: UH.

00:29:32
Speaker 21: And then I have three boys and the short short answers. I like shorter names for UH for our boys in kind of older fashion. I guess that aren't as common, so UH. Being big Astro fans, my oldest is Craig. Right after we had Craig, the Ashers won their first World Series. MVP of that series was George Springer. So a couple of years later we had another boy. We named him George, and then we had to go way down on the debt death start to find someone.

00:30:00
Speaker 22: But we've always liked to name John, and we found a John way down on the BP chart. So either directly or someone indirectly. Yes, there are people that are crazy enough to name their kids after athletes because it's the most inspiration we can find in a moment of desperation when we have it, having a name.

00:30:16
Speaker 3: A kidda, thank you, Lucas.

00:30:18
Speaker 4: Uh.

00:30:18
Speaker 3: Let's see Arnold and Saint Pete.

00:30:21
Speaker 17: Hi.

00:30:21
Speaker 4: Arnold, what's up, Dan two five sixty one? My dad, huge golfer, name me Arnold Palmer. That is my name, Arnold Palmer Evans.

00:30:36
Speaker 3: So your middle name is Palmer yeah.

00:30:39
Speaker 4: Fair bye. Calls me Palmer, but it's Arnold Palmer for sure. I get all kinds of stuff. You wouldn't believe it.

00:30:45
Speaker 3: Is there any downside to that?

00:30:48
Speaker 4: Yes? It is because I used to get and score all the time. Remember Green Acres, Arnold a pig? Yeah, yeah, I used to get that quite a bit.

00:30:58
Speaker 2: All right, lang in there, Arnold, you've made it this far. I'm looking at the most popular baby names this according to bet experts. Or is that what this is? Or bets sports? Todd I we've bet sports, all right. Kobe, David, Beckham, Serena. So they inspired most names between twenty and twenty twenty one.

00:31:24
Speaker 6: It jumps in some of those names.

00:31:26
Speaker 2: The top five most popular sports inspired names in the United States now for twenty one years was Kobe, David, Beckham, Serena, Sidney Crosby, Carly Lloyd. Now would you call I'm wondering if people use the name Beckham instead of David.

00:31:49
Speaker 8: I think that's what they mean, Beckham.

00:31:51
Speaker 3: Okay.

00:31:52
Speaker 8: I looked up Also in the nineties, the name Shaquille oh Yees had never been tracked before. Before nineteen ninety. There's no tracking of the name Shaquille ever breaking the top one thousand. In nineteen ninety three, it got up to one eighty one for boys' names in America.

00:32:09
Speaker 2: In the twelve month period following Kobe's death, his name increased by two hundred percent. There's some other names in here, Floyd Mayweather, huh Venus marshawn Lyne Lebron and Tiger. Tiger is a nickname. Hey, I'm trying to see if anybody Derek Jeter's on here, Kawhi A keeb t Leeb is on here?

00:32:50
Speaker 3: Hey, Keeb Yes, Marvin.

00:32:53
Speaker 7: I think the one seed is probably Jalen Rose when it comes to current athletes, because think of all the times we say Jalen Brunt send to Jalen Ramsey. You can keep going down the list. Jalen is so popular in one like pro athletes, Oh, Jordan would be up there. What current athletes named Jordan?

00:33:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say, there's probably a lot of guys, right, Does that sound right? I mean in the last thirty years, I would say. But I don't understand the Jalen Rose that all of a sudden people go, I'm gonna name my son after Jalen Rose.

00:33:26
Speaker 7: Yes, Mark, I know somebody named Jalen I was born in nineteen ninety five. It wasn't Jalen was my favorite player. They heard the name, they were like, I love that name, and that's how it happened. It wasn't, Oh, I love the Denver Nuggets in nineteen ninety four so much so I'm gonna name my baby Jaalen. It was I love that name, and one of our neighbors had a baby name was Jaalen.

00:35:45
Speaker 10: Dan.

00:35:46
Speaker 25: Born in Green Bay and going to games in the season ticket holder since I was five. Then my mom one day tells me you were named after a Chicago bear. I was like, you got to be kidding me. Can you take a guess of which Brian I was named after?

00:36:00
Speaker 3: You're too old to be Brian Urlocker. That's correct. See you you're good aducting. That's very good. So Brian Hello.

00:36:08
Speaker 25: Yes, she saw the movie Brian Song and said, I'm naming my son Brian. So I'm like, here, I am a diehard Packer fan named after a bear.

00:36:16
Speaker 8: But it's a good guy.

00:36:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great name, great person to be named after. Sauce in Maine, high sauce. What's on your mind?

00:36:24
Speaker 17: Adip long first time, long time six' one a dwindling two twenty five. Grew up in Lexington, Kentucky, and came across two reps in my life. And then I had some folks I knew name their children cows. Three of those, so I wonder if you're regretting that. Also on the Meat Friday note, I was invited to a get together tonight having moose steak. Didn't know if you'd ever had it. I haven't so curious to find out I have done.

00:36:56
Speaker 2: I have nonsauce, but next time I'm up in Maine, I'll ask about that.

00:37:00
Speaker 3: I'm going up in a couple of weeks. Uh, Christian in New York.

00:37:04
Speaker 18: Hi, Christian, Hey, good morning dad, first time caller six two, about one seventy soken wet so great story. My father and my parents Christian Latner's older brother, ironically Chris. We knew them from sports and my family babysat Christian Leaightner all through his younger years up in anglel in New York. And my dad made my mom watch every single duke game. And I was named after Christian Ladner.

00:37:33
Speaker 2: All right, I always I don't understand that his brother was named Chris and Christian Lightner's named Christian.

00:37:43
Speaker 3: Would feel like that would be.

00:37:45
Speaker 2: A kind of confusing if you're calling for, you know, one of them to come. But uh, Christian Lightner's brother is Chris.

00:37:52
Speaker 8: Yes, I'm looking at the baby named Tracker and it had a big rise in the early nineties kids named Christian, right.

00:37:58
Speaker 2: Thank you. But then to have a brother named Chris, that's disturbing. Yes, Or you'll get a guy named Ben and then his name last name begins with Ben and then you're going, really, yes, that's just.

00:38:15
Speaker 11: Obnoxious when parents do that you know, kid's gonna deal with a certain amount of abuse growing up. You may have zits, or you're just kind of nerdy or whatever. Why why have a name that everyone's just going to totally abuse you? Why would you do that to your kid?

00:38:26
Speaker 3: Yes?

00:38:27
Speaker 26: What, like Marvin, it's not a bad name. I mean, you're named after Marvin gay Bloop and kids are mean. Oh, kids are mean?

00:38:40
Speaker 3: Okay?

00:38:42
Speaker 2: Did you so you made the mistake of telling them that you're named after the musician Marvin?

00:38:46
Speaker 6: Well, that's the only Marvin people knew. There's no Marvin.

00:38:50
Speaker 3: How about Marvin Gardens with monopoly?

00:38:53
Speaker 7: Okay, but the general public like Marvin, like Marvin Gaye. Yes, Like, oh you guys trying to be funny, you got picked on a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yes.

00:39:05
Speaker 11: I take Marvin Marvin Marvinson and if that was your name that I'd be like ridiculous.

00:39:09
Speaker 3: Marvin Webster, the human eraser.

00:39:15
Speaker 6: I don't think kids in nineteen ninety five knew him.

00:39:17
Speaker 3: But they probably didn't know Marvin gay either.

00:39:20
Speaker 7: I think Marvin Gave is pretty ubiquitous. Like you at least knew who he was. You knew he was a singer.

00:39:26
Speaker 2: Kay, Well, I haven't been invited to the neighborhood, so I don't know your environment.

00:39:32
