00:00:41
Speaker 2: Coming up, we'll talk to Kurt Warner, Hall of Famer. We'll have the most must win game of the weekend. The mmwgot W your phone calls as well. Eight seven to seven to three DP show Baseball coming up this weekend. It's Cubs Brewers, that is Spicy, Yankees, Blue Jays, Dodgers, Phillies, Tis, Mariners. This is fun and it's been great baseball this week. But you also had football last night. Surprise surprise, the Niners beat the Rams in overtime and the biggest play the Rams going for it fourth and one in overtime, and it sounded like this fourth down.

00:01:20
Speaker 4: And one for the Rams.

00:01:21
Speaker 5: Niners lead by three, a chance to win it with a stop here in overtime. Stafford gets under center at the eleven yard line. He takes it, he turns, he gives the Karen Williams, he gets packed. I think he's short, Town, I think he's short, and.

00:01:35
Speaker 4: The forty nine Ers start in the field.

00:01:37
Speaker 6: It is all over.

00:01:39
Speaker 1: The forty nine.

00:01:40
Speaker 4: Ers have won it in overtime here in LA.

00:01:44
Speaker 2: That's courtesy of KNBR, the Niners radio network. And you know Sean McVeigh took the blame for this. Now, I don't know if the fact that we just had a tie with the Cowboys and the Packers and does that enter your mind. They weren't playing for a time because as they could have kicked the field goal, then you give the Niners another chance. They were playing for the win. I get it. I don't blame them, and you would have thought with that offense, with that head coach calling plays, that this wouldn't have been an issue. But give the Niners credit because that's a banged up team that is a Wounded Animal, and you were an eight and a half point underdog. Surprise, surprise. Some of the other big matchups coming up this weekend. A you know, you have a lot of college football with some interesting matchups. Not great matchups, but you have some interesting matchups. Vandy and Alabama to me is very interesting because Vandy beat Alabama last year. You have Florida State in Miami, which is interesting. You have Clemson in North Carolina, which is interesting. Vandy is a ten and a half point underdog against Alabama. Texas is a four and a half point favored against Florida Miami four and a half versus Florida State. Then I start to look at the NFL. You have the Vikings against the Browns. Dylan Gabriel is going to start for the Browns. According to DraftKings over under passing total for Dylan Gabriel NFL debut, Paulie, I'll.

00:03:12
Speaker 4: Start with you ighty nine yards Marvin.

00:03:17
Speaker 6: One seventy five and a half, Seaton one fifty five.

00:03:21
Speaker 2: Odd one seventy three and a half, one seventy seven and a half, one seventy seven and a half. Yeah, yeah, you know it's an early start. I'll tune into that. I think it'll be interesting. Let's see the Cowboys against the Jets. Cowboys are favored by two and a half. Buccaneers are getting three in Seattle, which I think is going to be interesting, Commanders getting two and a half against the Chargers. I look at the Patriots getting eight and a half against the Bills, and I think the Patriots are a good team, potentially a good team.

00:04:04
Speaker 4: Eight and a half.

00:04:05
Speaker 2: I mean, Drake May, can you keep them maybe in it touchdown or less. The Titans against the Cardinal godd no, no, I.

00:04:17
Speaker 4: Know, I gotta watch it. You do, Yeah, I do.

00:04:19
Speaker 2: You're damn Patrick, I know, but I promise you I will end up watching this game.

00:04:25
Speaker 6: I know.

00:04:26
Speaker 2: Titans are getting seven and a half against the Cardinals. The Broncos getting three and a half against the Eagles. That one's tasty as well.

00:04:35
Speaker 4: It's not a great slate.

00:04:37
Speaker 2: It's not one of those Oh my gosh, this showdown Lions against the Bengal Dolphins Panthers. That's another one I might have to watch.

00:04:47
Speaker 7: Yeah, Pauline, I love the spiciness of Seahawks hosting the Buccaneers.

00:04:51
Speaker 4: I think that's because the.

00:04:53
Speaker 7: Seahawks getting four giving four and a half. No one's buying into the Seahawks yet they needed they need a national TV win, and they had won.

00:05:01
Speaker 2: But like Seattle is giving three and a half, not four and a half. But according to DraftKings, all right, let's see eight seven to seven three DP show email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show Most must Win Game of the weekend. After everything I went through there, Marvin, I'll start with you. By the way, if you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app. We say good morning to our radio affiliates around the country. Eight seven seven three DP show operator Tyler sitting by Marvin the MMW got W.

00:05:46
Speaker 2: This is not your dad's Vanderbilt. Diego Pavia the next Baker Mayfield.

00:05:53
Speaker 6: Tell add to the Obama fans roll tide.

00:05:54
Speaker 7: Okay, Paul, I'm going to go Texas at Florida. Lord has been competitive. There should be an easy win for Texas. People will jump off that bandwagon fast.

00:06:08
Speaker 9: The Baltimore Ravens at one and three must get their act together this week at home against the one in three Texans.

00:06:13
Speaker 6: They cannot pull to one and four Texans.

00:06:17
Speaker 4: They are two and a half point favorites. Wow, Seaton most must win game of the weekend.

00:06:23
Speaker 10: The one two and one Dallas Cowboys must win this weekend at the New York Jets.

00:06:28
Speaker 4: Okay, that is a.

00:06:29
Speaker 6: Must win game.

00:06:30
Speaker 2: I'm going to say Clemson at North Carolina because Clemson's favored, big favorites against North Carolina. They're not getting rid of Belichick the first year, but with Dabo Sweeney and it hasn't been pretty. Not that anything's going to happen, but you know that press conference will be really entertaining when it's all said and done.

00:06:53
Speaker 4: All Right, the baseball was great.

00:06:55
Speaker 2: I love the three game series winner go home, and the Tigers, Cubs, Yankees all did exactly that they won and that sets up a great weekend in college football. A couple of phone calls in here Dennis and Syracuse. Hi, Dennis, thanks for holding what's on your mind today?

00:07:13
Speaker 3: I Dan, I just wanted to tell you about my two favorite interviews that you've done. The first was Jerry West and the second was Hank Aaron And I'm old enough that I grew up when they were in their prime and really admired him, and then you interviewed him, and since they passed, I feel like I got to know him personally through your interview. And that's one of the things you do. You bring out stuff about these stars that nobody like me knows about, and they brings him down to a human level. Now, the other two current people I really like are Ross Tucker and Dean Alaski. So those are two different generations, but you manage somehow in your interviews to bring them all together and I appreciate that.

00:07:51
Speaker 4: Well, thank you, Dennis.

00:07:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, I took great pride in being able to talk to Hank Aaron and Jerry West because growing up I'm watching them as a sportsman, and then you go full circle now I'm interviewing those two greats, and Hank is one of my favorite people. I just thought he was a gentleman and everything that he went through. And Jerry, you know, such a tormented life growing up with an alcoholic father, and the fact that when he told me that he had a shotgun under his bed and he told his dad, do not put.

00:08:25
Speaker 4: Your hands on mom. And I went he was going to kill his dad.

00:08:31
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not quite sure that it's coming in the interview. But then we don't do a pre interview. It's you're asking questions. It's live, and you hope that you get something. But my goal, and not to get too deep on this, but to have you relax so it feels like a conversation that we're not on radio or TV. It's just a conversation. And if you get to that, then you can get some things out of these people. Not everybody will allow you to do that. Some don't even know that they're allowing you to do that. But that's the challenge, that's the fun part of all of this. Let's see John in New Jersey. Hi, John, what's on your mind?

00:09:16
Speaker 11: Hey?

00:09:16
Speaker 4: Dan, how's it going good?

00:09:19
Speaker 11: Hey?

00:09:19
Speaker 12: Two quick things. I got Charlie Sheen's story when I got out of the Navy. But first and foremost, I'm driving from Miami to New Jersey and I've been cussing out a whole bunch of fritzes in the left hand lane, So I'm like to say, sucker fritzy, fair enough, pass All twenty twelve, I got out of the Navy and I found myself in the presence of Charlie Sheen very briefly. And after the interaction, I was riding my motorcycle from La back down to San Diego, and I just remember for about two hours not being able to feel my helmet on my head. So it was a great interview, and I I love seeing Charlie happy and looking like he's doing well.

00:10:04
Speaker 4: So all right, well, thank you John.

00:10:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, he didn't remember the interview fourteen years ago, and that's when all of this happened. That's when, you know, all of these networks were calling my house. They were trying to they couldn't get Charlie, although they were asking for Charlie's number, and you know, I was saying to my family, don't answer the phone. They were calling my house number. I said, do not answer the phone. And they wanted they wanted Charlie's number, and then they wanted to know if I would be interviewed and I said, no, I don't know him. I just had him on. Well he revealed a lot to you. I don't know him, but you had a lot of you know, the networks were calling. Everybody wanted, you know something from Charlie Sheen. Robert in Texas, Hi, Robert, what's on your mind today?

00:10:56
Speaker 13: ADP A first time longtime? Five ten one sixty eight. I just wanted to have a quick comment on the Charvishen interview and also had a request and reference to the Gampling podcast if I can.

00:11:08
Speaker 4: All right, the.

00:11:10
Speaker 13: First one is just based off the last called I'm just trying to piggyback. I'm just a big fan and I think it's just crazy in a good way to hear Charvishen just sound the way that he sounds on the eighties. Baby, So Charvis Sheen movies were stuff that I grew up on, you know, Lucas, Red Dawn, Platoon and even an old school pool for you. The Race was a sneaky good movie.

00:11:31
Speaker 2: All right, Well, thank you Robert. Yeah, we forget that. Charlie Sheen was a great actor. I don't know if he still is, but he had an unbelievable run there. I mean Latune in Wall Street, you go back to back. I mean those are hammers. David in Ohio, Hi, David, what's on your mind?

00:11:51
Speaker 14: Oh? They am happy to meet Saday. Nobody's speaking of great interviews you mentioned on the DP Takes a Gamble podcast and you were gonna quote doctor Bill all Day and his roommates relatedships since they've been going through therapy and whatnot. So I think that'd be another great interview for the show, So thank you, all right.

00:12:11
Speaker 2: Shanan Irving and his wife or Shae has his own podcast. It's called Shaye and Irving and he's going to have his wife on and Dylan Dylan, who's part of the gambling podcast, is going to be the moderator because I don't want a part of it because they it can detonate quickly. They're on good terms, they're in love, but it can detonate quickly with Shae.

00:12:36
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, Marv.

00:12:37
Speaker 8: Dylan, who's going to be the moderator. You got to be talking about a different Dylan.

00:12:41
Speaker 2: No, no, Shay said, Dylan's going to moderate and ask the question because Shae thinks all play favorites with his wife, which is true because I really like his wife.

00:12:51
Speaker 6: Do you think Dylan will make the marriage better? Yes?

00:12:54
Speaker 4: Yes, I would make it worse, guaranteed. I would make it worse.

00:13:00
Speaker 2: I would ask leading questions, I would play favorites and then Shaye would get upset Grant in Phoenix.

00:13:07
Speaker 4: Hi, Grant, what's on your mind?

00:13:09
Speaker 15: Hey Dan, thanks for taking my call. Five to eleven and a half hard one.

00:13:15
Speaker 3: Hard. Thank you.

00:13:17
Speaker 15: That's hard. So I was hoping that you could settle something for me. The Peter King interview yesterday reminded.

00:13:24
Speaker 3: Me of it.

00:13:26
Speaker 15: I was recently having a spirited debate with my father and we were talking about quarterbacks who changed the game, and I said three that came to my mind were Peyton, Patrick Mahomes, and Lamar Jackson. And my dad looks at me and he goes, Nope. The only quarterback who ever truly changed the game was Joe Namath. So I decided I needed to call you because my dad looks up to you in like, basically every way. I need to know which one of us is more right, because if I'm more right, you have to buy me a two dollars and ninety nine cents donut.

00:14:01
Speaker 4: Thank you, Thank you, Grant.

00:14:04
Speaker 2: When you realize that Joe Namath helped change the entire league with one game, with a guarantee the importance to the game, you're hard pressed to not single out Joe Namath. Now, Johnny Unitas to me, changed the position. He gave us the two minute drill. Quarterbacks were more game managers, and I think Johnny Unitas was more of a passer.

00:14:31
Speaker 4: I had the great connection to Raymond Berry.

00:14:33
Speaker 2: Now he did have a lot of talent around him, but Joe guaranteed the AFL. You have to remember they were the step brother. They were not. They were inferior, and Joe guaranteed this. And they were eighteen point underdogs and beat the big bad Colts. And I think because of that. Now, do I think Joe is one of the great quarterbacks of all time? I don't, But do I have to acknowledge the importance of changing he brought about the merger. Peyton, to me changed the game probably more than any other quarterback. Marino was the first to give you five wide don't need a running back throw for five thousand yards. He was the first. But if I'm looking at who changed the game the most from the position, and not just one year, it was Peyton Manning because and I'll ask Kurt Warner, but Peyton changed how your call the game, you see a game. He was an offensive coordinator. He understood the position I think better than anybody, and probably had the least amount of athleticism or he's on the short list of least amount of athleticism at that position.

00:15:53
Speaker 4: Let's see, We'll come back. Kurt Warner will join us.

00:15:55
Speaker 2: I'll ask him that question, also asking the most must win game of the weekend. Thank you join us right after this Dan Patrick Show.

00:16:45
Speaker 2: First game of the weekend in the NFL, the Vikings and the Browns from London, Dylan Gabriel makes his NFL debut. You can see that on NFL Network. They start at nine to thirty am Eastern from London exclusively on NFL netw Work and if OL network analyst Kurt Warner joining is so on the program. Would you have started Dylan Gabriel overseas against Minnesota for his debut?

00:17:13
Speaker 17: I'm not sure that would have been the route that I went. I understand why, understand where they're at. I understand it's the NFL, so there's not any easy game, so to speak. But but yeah, that's a lot of things going on along with playing against the Brian Flores defense that's going to throw a lot of books at you that. Yeah, I don't think it's going to be an easy one for for Dylan Gabriel. But Minnesota obviously didn't play great last week either, so maybe you look at this as an opportunity to get a win and get on track.

00:17:43
Speaker 4: What advice would you give Dylan Gabriel.

00:17:46
Speaker 17: I think the biggest thing is just realize that you don't have to do it all on your own. I think when the spotlight is on you and you get put into that position, the first thing to do is to say, okay, I got I got approve to everybody why I'm starting now, and I got to go out and make all of these plays. And you know, when I took over in ninety nine, I looked around and said, Okay, I got a lot of playmakers around me. I don't have to do this all by myself. Allowed them to help you along the way. It's okay to punt every once in a while because you've got a great defense that can help you out, and so not feeling like that spotlight is on you and you have to prove to everybody why you're the starter right now.

00:18:22
Speaker 2: How do you teach a young quarterback to get rid of the ball?

00:18:27
Speaker 17: I think getting rid of the ball is understanding what you're seeing. You know, a comfort level with the plays that you're running. To me, it's always about if you know where your eyes should be to start the process. That's the first step in being able to get the ball out, knowing what you're doing and getting through your progressions. And you know, sometimes with young guys, and again against the Brian Flores defense, they're.

00:18:50
Speaker 11: Gonna give you lots of things to look at.

00:18:51
Speaker 17: They're gonna get guys up at the line of scrimmage. A're gonna have guys running out into his own comfage, so they're gonna make that harder.

00:18:57
Speaker 11: But understanding your playbooks so that hey.

00:19:01
Speaker 17: And this kind of look, this is where my eyes need to start, and that speeds up the process. So that would be what I was would always be focusing on with the young quarterback.

00:19:09
Speaker 2: What was your thought when the Rams were going to go on fourth down in overtime and go for the win as supposed to go for the time.

00:19:18
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, I.

00:19:19
Speaker 17: Don't mind the decision at all. You're at home, you want to get one against a division rival.

00:19:25
Speaker 11: Was surprised, I.

00:19:25
Speaker 17: Think, like a lot of people with the play call, you know. I just you know, talked earlier in the week about how the Rams are so good, especially getting close to the red zone with their naked bootleg you know, play action game at your Staffords so good at it, they're creative with it. That that's where I thought they would go to give more options to Matthew Stafford instead of just running it right up the gut. So I more disappointed, I think, with the play call than I was the decision to go for it on fourth down, because I fully understand why you want to win that game. Especially with San Francisco being as beat up as they were. You didn't want to come out of that thing saying, oh man, we you know, we love or even we tied that team. Unfortunately it worked out that way. But I think they're probably reallying a little bit today because everybody going in they're like, oh my gosh, it's going to be walking the park for the Rams, and you know, Mac Jones played great and the team showed up and had a great win.

00:20:15
Speaker 4: Give me the most must win game of the weekend for you.

00:20:19
Speaker 11: For me, it's gonna be Texan Ravens.

00:20:22
Speaker 17: Both teams I think I hopes for both teams, you know, expected to win their division, both sitting at one in three right now, and neither one playing very good football. I know Texan has got to win last week, but you know that was against you know, a Tennessee team that hasn't won yet.

00:20:37
Speaker 11: So C J.

00:20:39
Speaker 17: Stroud doesn't look the same to me. That their offense doesn't look good to me. And then on the other side, I think we know all the issues and then the possibility of not having their star quarterback and Lamar Jackson, I think that is a must win for both of these teams with you know where that division is going right now.

00:20:55
Speaker 4: But explain to me what's going on with CJ stround.

00:21:00
Speaker 11: Which I could. You know, when he was a rookie, I had him in my top.

00:21:03
Speaker 17: Five quarterbacks in the league. The way that he played his rookie year, and it was his ability to see things and his accuracy and the technique that was with it. In the last two years, I don't know. I really can't tell you what's going on. I don't feel like he's seeing it very well. I feel like he's missing things. I feel like when they bring pressure, he doesn't have answers. And it's weird to me because very seldom, obviously do you see that when a young guy seems to have those answers and do those things and then it falls away from them. And it's really been the last year and a half where I don't believe he's playing, you know, as well as he did. And a lot of people going to the offensive line and some of the issues up there, but I think it starts with CJ. And you know, just watching him, he's not making the throws and making the decisions that he did as a rookie, and I can't tell you, I can't put a finger on it because he was so good as a rookie.

00:21:55
Speaker 11: It's hard for me to fact.

00:21:57
Speaker 17: What's gone wrong or what's gone sideway on this to take him to where he is right now.

00:22:02
Speaker 2: Talking to Kurt Warner, the Hall of Famer and Super Bowl MVP, two time NFL MVP. NFL Network will have the vikings in the Browns. That'll be nine thirty Eastern from London. We had a conversation. We've had a couple of conversations this week. One is focused on Russell Wilson. Can you play yourself out of the Hall of Fame? Now? I don't know if you had him in the Hall of Fame, but he's playing himself maybe out of consideration for the Hall of Fame. Do you believe that, given that he had a ten year run that was pretty impressive. These last couple of years have been pretty pretty rough.

00:22:39
Speaker 11: Yeah. I mean, I don't know if I would say play your way out of it? You know.

00:22:43
Speaker 17: I think what I would say in these last few years with Russell is maybe it gives you a different perspective of the kind of player that he was, Is that you know, when he was in Seattle. Obviously they had a great defense when they went to the on their run, and he was asked to be more complimentary. Pie's more of a playmaking piece than actually, you know, playing more drop that quarterback, carrying the team with his right arm. And so when he left, I think the idea, I think it was Russell's idea as well as wherever he chose, is that he wanted to show people that he could play the position more conventionally and more like I think, you know, guys like Brady and Manning and those things, and he didn't have to just be a playmaker. And then that hasn't worked out. And you know, he tried in numerous spots now and it hasn't worked out to show people that, And so I think, if anything, it maybe gets people to look back and go, okay, you know, who is the real Russell Wilson here? And again I don't know if that plays anybody out of the Hall of Fame because you mentioned it. The first decade statistically was really really impressive. But I think it may have people step back and go, okay, you know who is you know the guy that we're looking at, and you know, the Hall.

00:23:57
Speaker 11: Of fame type of thing.

00:23:59
Speaker 17: Was he an elite player at that position comparative to other players? And you know, you know as well as I do that there's a lot of different ways to look at it. I mean, you look at my situation is I didn't play as many games and certain things, but when I played, I played at a high level, so I was able to get in.

00:24:15
Speaker 11: Some other guys may.

00:24:16
Speaker 17: Not have played it quite a highest level, but played longer and have better stats and those things, and they get into the Hall of Fame. And so there's so many ways to weigh I think what the Hall of Fame is. But that's what I would say, not necessarily play his way out of it, but have people look at him a little bit differently and kind of compare the two quarterbacks to decide, Okay, who was Russell Wilson and does he fit in that category.

00:24:40
Speaker 2: But if you don't go to Arizona, are you getting into the Hall of Fame?

00:24:45
Speaker 11: I mean I would highly doubt it. You know, even though you know there was an elite.

00:24:50
Speaker 17: Level of play and two Super Bowls and two MVPs in Saint Louis, I think ultimately it would have been just not enough time to be able to have you another three years and go to another Super Bowl with another team, I think, is what kind of kind of stamped that you know, And you know, again, it could have easily said, hey, this guy at his peak, you know, was a Hall of Fame quarterback, but that peak.

00:25:13
Speaker 11: Wasn't long enough.

00:25:14
Speaker 17: And so yeah, again, I think we've seen a lot of different ways for guys to you know, solidify themselves as Hall of famers.

00:25:22
Speaker 11: And you know, that becomes the ultimate question, you.

00:25:25
Speaker 17: Know, at the end of the day. I mean, you have Eli Manning, that's you know, that's right there on the cusp. And I think they're weighing heavily super Bowls, right, super Bowls and you know, winning super Bowls.

00:25:34
Speaker 11: Well, Russell has been to two Super Bowls. I know he only won one of those.

00:25:38
Speaker 17: But you know, so what exactly is the determining factor in getting to the Hall of Fame. I don't know if anybody knows exactly. And and as you said, and we mentioned that first ten years, you know, I think you know you asked me if I didn't go to you know, Arizona would have been in the Hall of Fame. Probably not if Russell Wilson didn't go anywhere else beside at Seattle.

00:26:00
Speaker 11: Would he be in the Hall of Fame? And the answer is probably yes.

00:26:04
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:26:05
Speaker 2: I remember I spoke to you, maybe it was the season that you went to the super Bowl in Arizona, and we talked about what you know, Am I a Hall of Famer? And I said, no, but if you take Arizona to the super Bowl, you'd be a Hall of Famer. Do you remember we had that conversation after the game, and I was there to hand out the trophy, but I sought you out. I wanted to find you after the game, and I remember the only thing I said to you when I walked I walked up to you, I think you were with your wife, and I said, you're going to the Hall of Fame. That was the only thing I think I said to you, because obviously you're distraught because you know, you think you're winning the super Bowl, and I just remember, you're going to the super Bowl, And it stayed in my head that whole time after I talked to you, and you got to the super Bowl, could have won the Super Bowl and you went.

00:26:56
Speaker 4: To the Hall of Fame.

00:26:57
Speaker 2: One other thing I want to bring up We just had a call saying what quarterback have had the biggest impact or changed the game the most in NFL history in your opinion? Yeah, who would you single?

00:27:10
Speaker 11: That's a that's a good question.

00:27:11
Speaker 4: Uh.

00:27:12
Speaker 17: And I don't know about one quarterback, you know, because I think about Dan Marino and how you know, he played the game so differently at that time.

00:27:20
Speaker 11: I think they were a past first team. I think about our offense in Saint Louis.

00:27:23
Speaker 17: I think we, you know, changed the way the game was played and what we see now I think really started with with our team. And then I heard you talking a little bit about Peyton Manning, And the one thing I would say about Peyton Manning is there's no doubt Peyton Manning was the best quarterback we've ever seen before the snap at playing the game before the snap, changing plays, knowing what a defense was going to do. But I wouldn't say that necessarily transformed the game because I don't know if there's been anybody anywhere close to Peyton at doing that. And so when I think about changing the game, it's about, Okay, how did I, you know, lead the next generation into playing a similar way? You know, And maybe you look at a guy like Michael Vick because of where the NFL's gone now in terms of the athletic quarterback and using guys, you know, in two different ways, and so not sure how I would answer that, but I do think, you know, Peyton was unique and different and the best we've ever seen it at playing before the snap, where a lot of guys like myself were way better playing after the snap than before.

00:28:27
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:28:27
Speaker 2: I also mentioned Joe Namath because he won this singular most important game in NFL history. He brought about a merger. It's hard to argue with anybody else there were better quarterbacks, but he guaranteed it. He did it all eyes on that and one of the biggest upsets we've ever seen. And so I would probably say Joe was the most impactful quarterback of all time because of that one moment.

00:28:54
Speaker 6: Yeah.

00:28:54
Speaker 17: Well, and I think he also was the first quarterback to throw for four thousand yards or something in the league.

00:28:59
Speaker 4: Too, So were doing games probably.

00:29:01
Speaker 17: Yeah, I was doing things that that people weren't doing at that time. You know, I didn't grow up seeing a lot of Joe Naman, So yeah, I think of you know, more of my time. But but yeah, I mean yeah, with everything that he did and the guaranteed victory and throwing the ball the way he did, I could surely make that argument.

00:29:18
Speaker 2: God, he threw a pretty good ball, like effortless, effortless, I bet the best passer of best quarterback at throwing the balls?

00:29:27
Speaker 11: Who at throwing the ball? And what do you what do you mean by that?

00:29:33
Speaker 2: Like which one is? You know, you see certain pitchers and they you know, they make every.

00:29:39
Speaker 6: Pit you know.

00:29:40
Speaker 17: But yeah, if if I was picking a guy, I would probably pick Dan Marino just watching him throw and you know, the release that he had and you know, the arm strength, but.

00:29:50
Speaker 11: Also the touch on the football.

00:29:52
Speaker 17: You know, he was the guy that you know that I grew up kind of going, man, if you can throw the ball like that, I mean that would be you know. Yeah, tried to emulate him in my front yard because I thought he was special of a thrower of a football that maybe that I've ever seen.

00:30:07
Speaker 4: What did What did you say to him when you met him?

00:30:11
Speaker 17: Well, I mean, you know I was in all like like a lot of people, but I probably said that exact thing. Was like, man, I grew up you know, trying to be you and you know, wanting to be what you were on a football field, you know. And I obviously shared the story of at my Hall of Fame speech that when I was stocking shelves at the grocery store, I was in the serial aisle and one of the nights I was stocking the wheaties box and Dan Reno was on the wheaties box, and so he gave me a lot of inspiration when I was chasing my dream and then a stocking shelves going hey, one day, one day, I'm gonna be like Dan Marino and I'm gonna be on a wheaties box, you know. So you know, it just fun to have those guys that you know, you want to emulate, you want to chase after, and then you meet a guy like Dan who's such a great individual too, that lived up to the hype not only with what he did on the field, but also who he was off the field.

00:31:02
Speaker 2: Have fun this weekend. Good to catch up with you again. Thank you, Kurt, you too, my man, Kurt Warner. Hall of Famer Vikings Browns on NFL Network this weekend. They will start at nine thirty am Eastern on NFL Network in London.

00:31:18
Speaker 4: David in Knoxville.

00:31:19
Speaker 11: Hi, David, Hey Dan, good morning, how are you good?

00:31:23
Speaker 4: Good good.

00:31:25
Speaker 18: Let me dispersed by telling you it's such a treaty it is to be able to speak with you and just to kind of follow most of your callers this morning with you. Listen to your interviews just next my day, and so many of them. I can remember so many things that you said they said. But my question is to you, now, was there a particular celebrity or sports figure that you were interviewing and you said, Hey, wait a minute, I'm the day I am d Dan Patrick.

00:31:59
Speaker 4: No, what do you mean by that?

00:32:03
Speaker 6: David?

00:32:05
Speaker 19: That you're probably the best interviewer out there, and that it's a lot of interviewers saying that the people that they're interviewing are doing them a favor. But in your instance, when you interview somebody, you sent them at ease. The answer that give you are such firstal answers that you know you have it perfected an art in what you do.

00:32:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't if I said hey, I'm or think I'm the Dan Patrick, that takes away from my strategy and philosophy of interviewing you, and that is it's not about my question. It's about your answer. I always want your answer to be important because if somebody says, oh, you ask great questions, I always say, how are the answers? That's how you know you're asking a good question. But no, you have to make it about the person. A lot of people make it about themselves with their question, as opposed to what am I trying to get out of you? And I think you got to be selfless in an interviewing process, and not many people are because they want it to be about them and the question. There's nothing wrong with why or how or who or when or where? Those are great questions. All right, if you're watching on Peacock, we're going outside to the grills.
