Hour 1 – Questions for the Cardinals about Kyler Murray, JJ Watt

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

00:00:04
Speaker 2: We did it.

00:00:05
Speaker 3: We made it to a Thursday hour one Dan and The Dan Edge Dan Patrick Show. Future Hall of Famers. JJ Watt will join us, as will Clayton Kershaw, the former Dodger pitcher, will join us a little bit later on Raiders at the Broncos coming up tonight and what is it?

00:00:24
Speaker 2: Ten points? Is that the nine and a half points?

00:00:27
Speaker 4: I think, Todd, Yeah, the Broncos have to win by at least ten or I'm wearing a Raiders Owner Davis wig.

00:00:33
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, Mark Davis.

00:00:34
Speaker 3: We just got that wig in, you know, would you just try it on just to see if it works?

00:00:41
Speaker 2: Just I want to jinx at.

00:00:42
Speaker 4: I'll do it for content. But then if I'm putting it on, then I'm like preparing myself for them not to win by double m.

00:00:47
Speaker 3: Well, I just want to make sure it's going to fit. If not, then I have to get another one.

00:00:51
Speaker 5: I was like, you want me to go get that.

00:00:52
Speaker 3: Well, I could have one of the back room guys get it. I'm happy to put it on briefly, Yeah, just briefly.

00:00:58
Speaker 2: That's not how long.

00:00:59
Speaker 4: It's going to take them bring it out, so maybe I should go get it.

00:01:01
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I'll have them bring it out. If they're listening to the show, I'm like me, it doesn't they might not be all right. So you have the Raiders. They are getting nine and a half against the Broncos over under his forty two and a half.

Clayton Kershaw in the final hour of the program with football coming up tonight, Raiders at the Broncos Cardinals put Kyler Murray on the IR so he's out at least four more weeks. Okay, I said, I thought something was up, and then all of a sudden, Jacoby Burssett wins. They have their coach go to the press conference, Jonathan Gannon. He's asked about who's the starting quarterback and he says that his starting quarterback is Kyler Murray. Very quickly said that. And now all of a sudden we find out that maybe that foot is not healthy. Then we find out Jacoby Brissett's going to start this next weekend, and then all of a sudden he gets put on the injured reserve list with a foot injury, and now he's going to be out for four more weeks. How close was he to playing? I know he wouldn't suited up for the Dallas game. Just feels like there's something going on.

00:03:10
Speaker 2: There.

00:03:10
Speaker 3: It just doesn't match up that he's our quarterback to maybe not this week, to now he's going to be put on the injured reserve list.

00:03:19
Speaker 2: Like what happened after the game.

00:03:22
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray didn't play and Jonathan Gannon says, no, Kyler Murray's our starting quarterback. I understand you don't want to have a quarterback controversy, but you know what you did. You created a quarterback controversy here because Jacoby Brissett is going to start at least four more games.

00:03:40
Speaker 2: And do I think he's better for this team right now? I do.

00:03:44
Speaker 3: He knows how to play the position. But the whole I mean, you're spending a lot of money on Kyler Murray and you owe him a lot of money.

00:03:52
Speaker 2: Next year as well.

00:03:54
Speaker 3: But this is a situation where these teams you go and give your quarterback his money early. They did that with Kyler, they did that with Tua. I understand it can be smart. You can have a Josh Allen situation, maybe Joe Burrows situation, okay, but these are two quarterbacks that I had questions about from the beginning. And now you owe Tua fifty four million dollars. You're gonna have a new coach, a new GM. You're not gonna have Tyreek Hill is two. We're gonna be there next year? Does he have to be there next year? Feels like the answer is yes, Kyler Murray. Is he going to be there next year? You're gonna owe him fifty million dollars and he's not going to be starting for you?

00:04:40
Speaker 2: Are you going to move on from him?

00:04:41
Speaker 6: So?

00:04:42
Speaker 3: These are these are those dilemmas you have when you start to pay somebody and you pay them a year early. And I know that it probably ruffles feathers with these players and their agent, but I would be saying I want to see more. If I'm giving you fifty million dollars, you have to and it's just fifty million a year, I could be giving you a two hundred and fifty million. I reserve the right to be able to say to you, I want to see one more year. You may be bothered by that. I need to see one more year now. Unless you say, Josh Allen checks all the boxes, we're gonna you know, he is a franchise, He's a Hall of Famer, and you say that about Joe Burrow.

00:05:24
Speaker 2: I just don't want to rush. You don't need to rush.

00:05:28
Speaker 3: There's nothing wrong with saying one more year, because I would have given to I would have looked at franchising him, you know, give him one more year. Even I would never given him long term contracts. I don't think he's a long term quarterback, just size health. I wouldn't. It doesn't make any sense, Kyler Murray, you have a clause in his contract that says no video games, you must study. I know a caddie who caddied for a famous player, and the player would never practice, but he would tell his caddie that he would be practicing. So the caddie put in a piece of paper into the driver the cover that goes on the driver, and he would check whenever they went out to, you know, play in a tournament. He would lift up the cover on the driver and the paper would fall out, so he knew that he wasn't practicing. So, Kyler Murray, you got to put in a clause in his contract to say, hey, can you do less video more studying. That's not somebody I want, Thank you, sir. And look, I don't know how he is in the locker room. He doesn't strike me as a leader. If you play well, it's amazing how good your leadership is. But he's not playing well, and now the foot just got worse, and now he's out for four more games, four more weeks. Man, this is how coaches get fired or you can keep your job. But if I'm going into the dolphin situation and I'm gonna have to hire a coach, and then is that my quarterback? And are you sold on that, I wouldn't be.

00:07:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, Paulie.

00:07:23
Speaker 7: I'm reading the timeline of all this on the Arizona Central newspaper. They cover, you know, the Cardinals every day. Three weeks ago, in Week six, Kyler Murray was a game time decision with his foot injury, and while not playing, somehow it got worse. Jonathan Gannon, their head coach, talked about the decision to put him on the IRI yesterday and he said, quote talking with him, talking to other people. Obviously a collective decision here. I wonder if putting people on IR is a discussion and it was agreed upon by both parties and they don't have to worry about him in a uniform when Jacobi Prissett's playing for the next four weeks.

00:08:00
Speaker 3: The fact that he wasn't even in uniform against the Cowboys. But then he's our starting quarterback, and then he's not your starting quarterback, and now he's out for another month.

00:08:10
Speaker 2: I don't know.

00:08:12
Speaker 3: This just feels like Cardinals is going to have a different quarterback next year. But I'll ask JJ Watt how much power input does a player have if he is going to go in the iron or doesn't want to go in the iron because it's automatic.

00:08:30
Speaker 2: It's four weeks.

00:08:31
Speaker 8: Yeah, there's a timeline going around right now that you can see exactly where you are in the Kyler Murray story. It starts with Kyler's day to day, Kyler's questionable. Jacoby will start, but Kyler might play. Then Kyler's output still are starting, and then Jacoby's our starter, but Kyler will be back soon. Kyler's on the IR. That's where we are right now. Kyler's done for the season, Kyler is traded, and Jacoby is the Super Bowl MVP. I don't know who put that together. Is very funny. Some of those things haven't happened.

00:09:00
Speaker 3: Here is Jonathan Gannon, the Cardinals head coach.

00:09:03
Speaker 6: Today, Kyler is going to go on IR. Feel like that's the best thing for him and for us. He's not fully healthy ready to go yet, so that makes the most sense. Obviously that's a change, but we just felt, you know, looking at it right now, that's the best thing for him and us. Like I just said, he's fully committed right now. What he's going to concentrate on is getting healthy. He's not healthy enough to play. He needs to get healthy so he can get back to playing football.

00:09:33
Speaker 5: So that's what we're doing.

00:09:35
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm going to take the coach at his word, but it almost feels like we need you to stand in front of the media and come up with something here. Just may he's all in and we're committed, and Okay, it feels like there's something else going on here, John and Fort Lauderdale.

00:09:58
Speaker 2: Morning, John, what's on your mind?

00:10:00
Speaker 9: Good morning, Dan, listen to you all the time, first time calling you. I have personal knowledge because I know someone that plays on the team. They're done with Kyler. He's always late to practice. He doesn't mingle with the players. He sits there with his headsets on, he doesn't talk to the receivers. He shows up for practice and it's basically underwear.

00:10:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, but John, I mean I can't go with that. That's not fair to the situation. You might know somebody, but you're not going to tell me who that person is. Nobody wants to be on record with this, so I got to be fair to the situation here. Now I've heard a variety of things about Kyler Murray, but I got to be fair to him.

00:10:41
Speaker 8: Yeah, that means that Kyler Murray's last play with the Cardinals potentially is a botched snap that hit him in the face and there was a turnover to the Titans.

00:10:55
Speaker 2: Well do I think Kyler will be there next year?

00:10:58
Speaker 3: I don't, but I've kind of been in that position for a while. I think he's an incredible talent, but as we've said before, you have to learn how to play the position. Some people are just gifted to be able to play, but after a while you slow down.

00:11:16
Speaker 2: They speed up.

00:11:19
Speaker 3: Guys understand the game, and it just doesn't feel like you know, he's a student of the game and all the greats. You have to be a student of the game. I don't care how talented you are. At some point you need to figure this out with your mind and not just your body, not just your athleticism. And you got to be committed. It's the toughest position to play in all of sports.

00:11:45
Speaker 10: Yeah.

00:11:46
Speaker 7: Point looking at Kyler Murray's contract, He's fully under contract next year for at least forty five million dollars or other incentives. But this could be one of those Russell Wilson situations where Denver wanted to move on so badly that they paid him to play for Pittsburgh. When Pittsburgh acquired Russell Wilson in twenty twenty four, they paid him one point two million dollars to play that season. The other thirty nine million dollars were paid by the Broncos.

00:12:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I know I brought this up yesterday. I didn't have any information that is. Could I see where the Jets bring in Kyler Murray? I mean, I just throw that out there that Do I think that he can be saved? Yeah, because he has that much talent, although I don't know if going into a Jets situation is best for him. But same with Tua. If I'm the GM and I'm coming in and I'm bringing in a coach, the first thing I'm saying as a coach is what are we doing with our quarterbacking situation? And I don't know if you have answers there, and that's tricky. All right, Our one poll question seatan.

00:12:57
Speaker 2: Whose career would you like? JJ Wattayton Kershaw? Oh yeah, boom.

00:13:02
Speaker 3: Oh, I thought you were going boom. I thought you were going to ask me which quarterback would I want to? Or Kyler?

00:13:09
Speaker 7: Which quarterback would you like?

00:13:11
Speaker 10: Or Kyle?

00:13:14
Speaker 9: Uh.

00:13:14
Speaker 3: Since we have JJ coming up, we'll do that one. So about both are first ballot Hall of famers. You know, it's weird if if you make two plays and you're a defensive player, you can have a great game in people's minds. Let's say JJ Watt has two sacks and you didn't watch the game, you go, oh my god, twas all right. If Clayton Kershaw gives up two mistakes, he has a bad game. So here's JJ, who can have two great plays. Clayton can have two bad pitches and have a bad game if.

00:13:53
Speaker 8: One of them seems to have a lot more pressure on their shoulders throughout the entire game. Yeah, I mean obvious, JJ Watt's job is very difficult. But Clayton Kershaw, you're standing on the mountain by yourself. You're giving up those hits you're giving up.

00:14:06
Speaker 2: Those earned runs.

00:14:07
Speaker 8: You know you're doing all of that, JJ Watt. You could theoretically disappear into the game and it would take a while to notice, like, man, JJ hasn't done much today.

00:14:18
Speaker 2: Yes, Ton, or you could have three rings or no rings? Oh all right, Todd? Who you taking? Whose career?

00:14:26
Speaker 4: That's the reason why I would lean towards Clayton Kershler. Three titles, that's three cy youngs.

00:14:32
Speaker 2: How about you seton?

00:14:35
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think respectfully taking Clayton Kershaw because he's won, he's made a great living, played for a long time, which I think is pretty great to.

00:14:45
Speaker 4: Marvin Clayton Kershaw, and he was on the Dodgers like he was a Dodger.

00:14:51
Speaker 7: Paul, I'm going Kershaw, But not because of the titles. It's because of the lifestyle. Football is violence and painful, and you only at the play seventeen games a year. In baseball you get to go to the park every day. You don't have to go to practice or meetings, and being a starting pitcher is the ultimate lifestyle in sports.

00:15:09
Speaker 2: Hey, do we ask JJ Watt whose career he would want?

00:15:14
Speaker 5: Absolutely?

00:15:15
Speaker 2: All right, Well ask him.

00:15:18
Speaker 3: It'd be funny if he said, Oh, I take Clayton Kershaw's man. That guy's healthy. He has no no surgery, no way, probably had a surgery or two. All right, we'll take a break. We'll talk to JJ Clayton Kershaw on the final hour of the program. We're back after this.

00:16:25
Speaker 7: Have to play it and have him give the answer.

00:16:27
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, are you ready?

00:16:28
Speaker 7: Yeah, you have mutic mark.

00:16:30
Speaker 2: Okay, okay.

00:16:31
Speaker 7: The game is total number of surgeries during during JJ Watt's football career. Total number. I know the answer, so I can't give it out. But Dan, you're gonna go last, Fritzy.

00:16:43
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go with my favorite number of eleven.

00:16:46
Speaker 7: Marvin eighteen, Seaton fifteen, Dan nine procedures count. So it's total number of surgeries and procedures.

00:16:57
Speaker 8: Oh oh, okay, say hold on now, I feel like we just so you were saying surgeries top surgeries and procedure tough.

00:17:04
Speaker 7: Guys don't have procedures.

00:17:05
Speaker 2: That's illegal procedure on your part right there. Bringing the guests, all right, let's bring in JJ.

00:17:09
Speaker 3: Want how many surgeries and procedures did you have while you were playing?

00:17:15
Speaker 12: I got a few questions before I even answer that. How does Paulie know the answer? Because I don't have the answer. That's what I do here. I don't have the You can't possibly have the answer because I mean, there's a few reasons why you can't, but I it's it's significant.

00:17:32
Speaker 5: What what number do you have, Palie?

00:17:34
Speaker 7: I have I have nine without breaking any hip along.

00:17:37
Speaker 5: Way more than that.

00:17:39
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, did you hide some procedures in surgeries?

00:17:43
Speaker 2: Is that what you're saying?

00:17:44
Speaker 12: No, not hidden, but like there'd be a scope in the off season that's not reported anywhere that nobody ever knows about, you know, like that just because it's in the middle.

00:17:51
Speaker 5: Of the off season.

00:17:53
Speaker 12: What would you guess? I mean, if you're talking like, depends on what you consider a procedure obviously, Like I don't think like PRP shots and things like that are no siezuers, But I mean actually going into my body, it's it's it's definitely double digits.

00:18:12
Speaker 2: Maybe like fifteen.

00:18:14
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's it's brutal.

00:18:16
Speaker 12: I mean, I have a picture on my phone still of when I broke my leg and they open it up, and I don't know why they showed me that picture. I don't know why they sent it to me. But you can when you can look inside and see your own bone and see all the vessels and everything and your muscles, it's gonna make it squirmish, damn.

00:18:37
Speaker 3: Okay, but you kept it. It's on your phone, so yeah, I mean it's a bad ass.

00:18:45
Speaker 2: You can you hold it up and show us.

00:18:49
Speaker 12: I literally don't know if it would be allowed on television. It's it's a gaping hole about that big because they take it and they put calipers on it, and they spread your leg apart, and then they have to get down to the bone. And so my bone was in like the shattered, so it was just dozens of pieces. So they stick this huge metal plate up against it and put nine screws in there, and still in there today.

00:19:10
Speaker 3: I'm wondering, You're Hall of Fame bust. Can we do the one where you've got blood coming down yourne I hope, so that'll be cool. Now, do you have any control, any say in when you go in what your bust looks like?

00:19:24
Speaker 12: I have no idea. I have no idea how any of that works. I'm not even I'm not even. I don't know how that works.

00:19:33
Speaker 3: I think Peyton Manning had forehead approval like you.

00:19:38
Speaker 5: Yeah, like you get to I assume you got to be able to pick your picture right. You can't.

00:19:42
Speaker 12: I don't think you can have accessories, and I feel like blood would be an accessory.

00:19:47
Speaker 3: All right, we have a poll question whose career would you want? Yours or Clayton Kershaw's. He joins his one championships. Yeah, Warren championships. I go with Clayton.

00:19:56
Speaker 2: You would go with Clayton.

00:19:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, let's take three right, Oh yeah, let's take away titles.

00:20:05
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, then what what are you comparing?

00:20:08
Speaker 12: Because he did it for a really long time at a really, really high level, so you would probably say doing it longer is better. Baseball is a very long season, one hundred and sixty two games. You're on the road away from family A lot. Part of the reason I retired was to be by family. So he's probably made I mean baseball, he's probably made a quarter of a billion at.

00:20:29
Speaker 2: Least, he's made three to twenty.

00:20:34
Speaker 5: Oh yeah. Nice.

00:20:35
Speaker 12: But he probably hasn't had double digit surgeries either, so that's a plus.

00:20:41
Speaker 3: I opened the show talking about this Kyler Murray situation because I'm I'm baffled by this that it doesn't feel like he's your franchise quarterback too much longer there in Arizona. Now he's on the IR. Let me just start with that question. How much does the player have to say or input of going on the IR and not going on an IR.

00:21:06
Speaker 12: I mean it, I would say they have some say because it IR is like ken you play or not. I mean there's you know, there's situations early in the year in training camp for you stash guys and things like that. But I mean, especially in today's world where you can come back off the ir after four weeks, it's it's there's a part of that conversation is are you going to be good in four weeks or not? Or are you going to be good in less than four weeks?

00:21:29
Speaker 2: Okay, what what do you think is going on with the Cardinals and Clamory?

00:21:34
Speaker 5: I mean, I mean just literally looking at it from an outside.

00:21:37
Speaker 12: First of all, I couldn't watch the game on Monday night, so I don't know what that game looked like. But it sounds like Jakobe played pretty well. But it's I mean, it seems like from what I've seen what I've read that they're comfortable with with Preset playing quarterback and operating offense.

00:21:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you got to back up making forty five million dollars it does. Yeah, but that's awkward too. I mean, there's a lot of awkward stuff in the NFL. There's a whole lot of awkward stuff in the NFL.

00:22:10
Speaker 12: I mean I think that there are also probably a coaching staff who feels some pressure like at some point you got to win football games. It can't be purely potential for a coaching staff before you're the one on the way out. So it becomes how do we win football games right now? And what do I think as my job on the line? You know how it is, and it's a cover of your ass society in this business and you have to find a way to win football games or you're going to be out the door and whatever that takes.

00:22:39
Speaker 5: I mean, there's situations all over.

00:22:41
Speaker 12: The league where coaches are trying to do whatever's and gms are trying to do whatever's best to keep them in that seat.

00:22:46
Speaker 3: The longest we're talking to JJ Watt, he'll be on the booth the Jags and Texans. That's at one Eastern on CBS. You were there for the Colts and the Steelers. What stood out with the Colts that would make you still believe that they are going to be there at the end of the season.

00:23:05
Speaker 12: I mean, they fought back all the way to the end and that non side kick, which we all know is not a real chance, but they fought back all the way to the end, and even with six takeaways, they were within the potential of one score at the end of the game, so that fight and drive was there.

00:23:21
Speaker 5: It's their first crew punch in the mouth and it didn't go well.

00:23:25
Speaker 12: I mean, six takeaways and everything that came along with a a muff a punt and they just ran into a bit of.

00:23:31
Speaker 5: A buzz saw on that day.

00:23:32
Speaker 12: And I watched their offense and the thing I see with their offense is when they are on schedule and when they are doing what they do best, which is first down success leading to a very efficient drive, They're unbelievable and so hard to stop. That game starts to put just the slightest question in you of Okay, if they aren't on schedule, which for most teams is difficult, and they have to drop back and teams kind of just are going one dimensional at them, can they do that? And that's what we'll have to see going forward. If another team has a chance to punch him in the mouth and cut that run game down the way the Steelers did, can they pass their way out of it.

00:24:12
Speaker 3: How's it been broadcasting a game in which your brother's playing in.

00:24:17
Speaker 12: It's been Honestly, it's not nearly as bad as I think people think it would be. It's a job, Like it's a job, you're up there, and I know how to be professional. I know how to do my job. I'll talk to him before the game. I talked to him after the game. But during the game, like Iron handles the play by play anyway, so I have like a three or four second buffer when he makes a strip sack fumble where Ian is doing his job really well, and then I break down the play and from the fan reaction. I'm very appreciative of all the opposing fans who have been so kind because I have consciously tried to keep it extremely unbiased.

00:24:54
Speaker 3: The difference, and I think I know the answer. But going out to a game as opposed to be in studio.

00:25:01
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean for me personally, like I missed the guys in the studio, But I love being in the stadium. I love the adrenaline, I love the atmosphere. I love the unpredictability of your calling the game as it happens, so you need to be on your toes. It's much more kind of challenging for me. And it also during the week is much more like being a player. You're watching more film deeper, you know, talking to coordinators.

00:25:28
Speaker 5: I really like that.

00:25:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I told Drew Brees because he was going to be in studio with Football Night America, and I said, you got to be ready for it because there's no energy there when you go to a game. There's energy like it's tangible when you're like I feel this, Like that's as close as you'll get to playing again. And now I just saw where Drew is going to be an analyst being out on the road with Fox. But that energy, that's as close as you can replicate it to actually playing in a game.

00:25:57
Speaker 12: Yeah, And like you said, like for for athletes who have been in it before, it's it tricks you into getting back into that mindset where you can get as close to that flow state as possible where you're just letting your instincts and everything take over. Whereas kind of like you said in the studio, you have to manufacture it for yourself a little bit more to get it going.

00:26:18
Speaker 2: Best team you've seen this year is who.

00:26:22
Speaker 12: When the Colts offense is humming the Colts offense, for sure, I would team as a whole. The Rams is very good. We saw the Rams early on the Rams are very good. And again this is just teams that I've called this year. We haven't called on the others. But that Colts offense. Man, we watch them against the Chargers and it was play at will, like Tyler Warren running wide open, Jonathan Taylor running down. They got Alec Pierce going like That offense when it is at its best, is unstoppable.

00:26:54
Speaker 3: You know, some people looked at the Jets and said they did great at the trade deadline. What do you think when you unload a couple of star players.

00:27:04
Speaker 12: I think they got a good haul for what they gave away. I think it's the question of what are they going to do with that and what gives you confidence in that because you gave away young players that you drafted with a very similar haul that you just got. So, you know, I love seeing the graphic that people just put out where like the last time they had those three first round picks it was you know, Breeze Hall and saw it like and you're like, okay, so you're giving away young talented players to hopefully find more young talented players. I just don't know where the what the plan is there, and where the confidence should come in finding that success.

00:27:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what would make me nervous is when you know, fans will say, we got all these draft picks, and I say, well, who's drafting? Because that's really the key, and your goal is to find players like Sauce Gardner and Quinn Williams, isn't it.

00:27:56
Speaker 12: That's that's my thing, is like we can have you got have all the draft picks world a Sauce Gardener and a Quinn and Williams. Those are hard to hit on and you had two of them in your building and now you're going to have to go out and replicate it. But it goes very back to our conversation from earlier. A GM can come in and say those weren't my guys. Now you've got to give me time to get my guys. Give me these draft picks and you start. Now, maybe they do it, maybe it's maybe it works incredibly well, but it's extremely hard to hit in the draft.

00:28:27
Speaker 3: Is there a quarterback you didn't get that you've seen when you've gone to a game?

00:28:33
Speaker 5: What do you mean sacked? Oh? Pat? I've never I never sacked Pat Malmes?

00:28:38
Speaker 2: So yeah, does he remind you of that?

00:28:45
Speaker 12: I saw him last summer and we talked about a little bit, but now he he's good Man, He's good Tom. Tom likes to say that I never got him. We've had this conversation one hundred times, but I got him in the playoffs. It just doesn't count as an official sack.

00:28:58
Speaker 2: What about Rogers?

00:29:00
Speaker 12: I got Rogers twice in one game. I did the belt celebration after the first one, and he threw six touchdowns over my head.

00:29:08
Speaker 5: So that was a mistake.

00:29:14
Speaker 3: Who talked the most out of Mahomes, Brady and Aaron Rodgers?

00:29:22
Speaker 12: Not a ton of talking. Not a ton of talking. Rogers a little bit, Brady. If you got him fired up like you could get you get him fired up. Pat Pat wasn't didn't talk a whole lot. Now Andrew luck talked a lot. But that was just nice, Like we would just have full blown conversations, just literal.

00:29:41
Speaker 2: Like did it did it still? Did it sound like this?

00:29:44
Speaker 7: Oh you're a great defensive end, high motor?

00:29:47
Speaker 5: What ahead? Nice keys man?

00:29:52
Speaker 3: Well, he had a defensive mentality to playing offense.

00:29:55
Speaker 2: It felt like he was the best man.

00:29:57
Speaker 12: I love playing Andrew like, literally had the most respect for him. Hit him probably harder than I've hit anybody else besides Ryan Fitzpatrick, and every time he popped back up.

00:30:06
Speaker 2: What happened to Ryan Fitzpatrick.

00:30:08
Speaker 12: I had a game where I had I got fifteen quarterback hits, zero sacks, and I was just laying the hammer time after time after time, and they were on a two minute drive at the end of the game, and I'm swear I hit him four times in a row, four knockdowns.

00:30:25
Speaker 5: Every time I was like, that's it, he's not getting back up, and every time he popped back up.

00:30:30
Speaker 12: So we eventually were teammates after that, and I shared those stories and I don't know what it is, but that man, he's got a little he's got some juice to his game.

00:30:39
Speaker 5: I love it. I love fits well.

00:30:40
Speaker 3: I remember Michael Strahan was telling me he had so much respect for Tom Brady when they hit him in that Super Bowl like they they were, they dominated that super Bowl, that defensive one. He said, we hit him, We hit him every time. He said he never complained. He complained about his offensive line, but he never said you would just say, good hit and get back up.

00:31:02
Speaker 2: But is that is that.

00:31:03
Speaker 3: More frustrating If a quarterback goes, hey, good hit and he pops back up.

00:31:09
Speaker 12: It's no because I don't want him to be hurt, like that's like a communistconception. But it's more frustrating to me when he looks at the ref for a flag, because that does work, like the ref will eventually throw that flag. So I don't want like I can't stand it when.

00:31:24
Speaker 5: They just I'd love it.

00:31:26
Speaker 12: I would respect a quarterback when he just pops up and he appreciates that this is a violent game.

00:31:30
Speaker 2: Okay, but do you say like Stumpy in a wolf.

00:31:36
Speaker 5: No, you gotta be a real punk to get me to say something like that. Like, there's there's some young kids there.

00:31:40
Speaker 12: There are a couple of young kids who later in my career I'd hit him and they would whine, and I'd be like, you don't have the right to whine here, man.

00:31:51
Speaker 2: How's your soccer team?

00:31:53
Speaker 5: We're doing good, man, we're doing good. Espaniel is doing really well.

00:31:56
Speaker 12: We're in six in La Liga and Burnley's currently out of the relegation zone in the Premier League. Big match coming up this weekend, so a lot of fun.

00:32:03
Speaker 2: Is your son going to play football or soccer?

00:32:07
Speaker 12: We're definitely going to have him in soccer to start because of the ball skills and the agility. But I mean, let's be honest here, Dan, he's in a ninety nine percentile for height and weight. He's he's not going to have the endurance to be out there running around for ninety minutes on a pitch.

00:32:20
Speaker 5: He's a big boy.

00:32:21
Speaker 2: Is he bench is he bench pressing?

00:32:24
Speaker 12: He does wheelbarrow walks right now, So he's big on the wheelbarrow walks.

00:32:29
Speaker 2: So yeah, old old school. I like it.

00:32:33
Speaker 3: Ye, Hey, great to talk to you. Safe travels and uh thanks for joining us.

00:32:39
Speaker 5: Thank you guys. Have a great day, miss y'all.

00:32:42
Speaker 2: That's a JJ.

00:32:45
Speaker 3: He's got the uh Jags and the Texans coming up. One of his old teams had the Colts and the Steelers and uh Burnley. Burnley is out a relegation Seaton.

00:32:56
Speaker 5: I think. So.

00:32:57
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:32:57
Speaker 8: That was an Espanol hat that he was wearing too, So he's he's got a little foot in Spain foot in England. It's pretty good. It's pretty good.

00:33:45
Speaker 3: The one and only at nine hundred. That's courtesy of sports Net. Alex Ovechkin number nine hundred. Of his forty seven goals since the start last season, three have come against Jordan Bennington. He gave up number nine hundred Wednesday night. I don't know if he was being playful or not, but he did grab the puck and he was trying to put it like in his pads, and they asked Olvechkin about it, and he didn't want to comment of the goalie trying to take the historical puck, I don't I don't know if he was having fun with it. I don't know if it's fun when I think they lost six to one, but maybe playful play the day brought to you by Rapid Radios, the official walkie talkie of the DP show Push to Talk nationwide LTE coverage that means no subscriptions required.

Hey Dan, good morning, Good morning.

00:34:56
Speaker 13: I've got two questions for you, one semi serious and one quite serious. Semi serious one relates to the college football playoff rankings. I know the top three teams, they're all undefeated, and none of them are going to play each other, and I just would like to play the scenario if all three went out. What do you think has the best win amongst the three? A and M at Notre Dame, Indiana at Oregon, and then Ohio State with Texas at the beginning of the year. My super serious question, however, relates to our guests from the previous block. Mister Watt. I'm a lifelong fan of I've always loved watching him and I just have to say I noticed it on the broadcast of CBS. His hair is looking pretty good, to the point where I think we just have to do the honest and real journalism saying, are there any performance enhancers. When it comes to that game day floke. That looks very good. I think we need to ask the item to do some work here.

00:35:48
Speaker 7: Wow, it's slanderous.

00:35:49
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:35:51
Speaker 3: I thought he was letting it grow a little bit and he parted it down the middle. Inn't that we we noticed that a couple of weeks ago.

00:35:58
Speaker 7: Yes, Paul, I think he was having a little on with it going for the look from the boss in the movie office space with the glasses of the air.

00:36:05
Speaker 8: It's called the butt cut, Dan, Oh it is, Yes, it's called the butt cut another phrase.

00:36:09
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, Yeah, I don't know if there's I mean, I would not want to be labeling somebody a performance enhancer.

00:36:18
Speaker 8: Yeh see does that count as a procedure? That we were just having the bet about how many procedures people have with a depending on how invasive.

00:36:28
Speaker 3: So it's getting alp the procedure might be. I'd say that's a procedure, not surgery. No no, no, no, no, a craft. I would I would say that that Todd. Did somebody bring out the mark Davis wig?

00:36:41
Speaker 1: We did?

00:36:41
Speaker 4: But the foe was is it going to ruin the reveal tomorrow to see what it looks like ahead of time. Is it worth staving or that's it's your call.

00:36:50
Speaker 2: Okay, I have it right next to me. I just want to make sure it fits.

00:36:54
Speaker 5: Okay, I have not tried it on yet. I could try it on on air or off air.

00:36:57
Speaker 2: We can do it off air if you want.

00:36:59
Speaker 5: Make sure that.

00:36:59
Speaker 3: But if the Broncos win by at least ten, then you don't have to wear exactly.

00:37:04
Speaker 4: But the Denver does need to win by double digits, which is asking a lot in the division game.

00:37:09
Speaker 3: Curtis in Illinois, Hi, Curtis, what's on your mind today?

00:37:14
Speaker 14: Horton Dpeat Just a comment and a full question idea versus just I don't know what it is about Kyler Murray that kind of drives me nuts. Like when he's scrambling with the ball, it just reminds me of a toddler, like with the remote and the dad's trying.

00:37:28
Speaker 5: To chase him.

00:37:29
Speaker 13: But for the poll question, you guys brought it up yesterday, But like.

00:37:33
Speaker 14: In three years, what's Kyler Murray going to be doing? Playing for the Cardinals, playing for another team, or playing baseball? But I think the fourth option you need to throw in there is playing esports.

00:37:43
Speaker 10: Leagues.

00:37:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, he might be doing both. Yeah, he's a gamer, it's just not the NFL game. John in Texas, Good morning, John, what's on your mind today?

00:37:55
Speaker 15: Good morning guys, five eight one sixty five.

00:38:01
Speaker 5: Thank you.

00:38:02
Speaker 15: Hey, I am the best walk off show idea possible.

00:38:06
Speaker 5: So hear me out on this one.

00:38:09
Speaker 15: You guys need to have a championship victory parade. Get a couple floats together, once for you and the guys, once for the brgs. You can end up at the man Cave, right, and you can have all your celebrity guests fans of the show there and better yet, this would really be sticking it to the Sports Emmy Selection Committee.

00:38:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we would need to win a championship to have a parade. John, But thank you. I like where your heart's at.

00:38:39
Speaker 4: Yes, don you have connections with the mayor. You link you once get the key to the town of the city, so like they can maybe put something together to let you go up and down block off some streets.

00:38:47
Speaker 3: No, we could do that, but we it's a championship parade, like they don't have second place.

00:38:53
Speaker 5: Parades until twenty eight.

00:38:57
Speaker 2: No, we gotta win. We got to win.

00:39:01
Speaker 3: Let's see mow in Arizona. Hig Mo, what's on your mind?

00:39:06
Speaker 10: Poor Dan Dannett not This is got Gidja Lott a great interview. But I can't believe that's even the pole question comparing him with Clayton Kershaw and what better way to go out? You championship in your last year, play all your season with one team and but Andy, it's plainly not sigtificant in the World Series. But he did have a signature moment. So what's the better way to go out? I'm taking Kershall?

00:39:28
Speaker 2: All right? Well, thank you, Mo.

00:39:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, some people want to be a football player, but lifestyle Clayton Kershaw, I'd certainly take that. And you're I mean JJ Watt telling you all these surgeries that he had, procedures that he had. I go back, Mark Schlereth played, you know, offensive line for the Broncos. I think he had twenty two knee surgeries. And it's like when somebody says how many procedures or surgeries and you go, I don't know. That's I mean, that's kind of scary. It's like when somebody says, oh, how many cars do you have? And you go, I don't know, Like Jay Leno, how many cars do you have, Jay, I'll let me get Daniel in here from Tennessee. Hi, Dan, Hey Dan, Good morning morning.

00:40:18
Speaker 16: I like to follow up your conversation from yesterday the best football state. I'm going to throw my hat in the ring for Tennessee. I know you're going to say the Titans. Let's just not talk about that. Let's talk about UT, Vanderbilt, Memphis. I know Vanderbilt not or I know Memphis not recently, but we look at them in the past two weeks, both in the Vanderbilt for sure, Vanderbilt, Tennessee and Memphis were in the playoffs.

00:40:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I said yesterday you had it have at least one pro team in there if you took college football. Yes, and Memphis has played really well and Vandy is still kind of in the picture there and UT. But you got to have one of your professional teams in there. Football wise, the books. On this Thursday, we'll update the poll results. We'll get another poll coming up in the second hour of the program. Clayton Kershaw will stop by in the final hour of the program. Raiders at the Broncos and the Broncos are favored by nine and a half. Do the Raiders get it together this year. At some point, do they have a moment? Do they have a game? Is this the game?

00:41:26
Speaker 2: Maybe not?

00:41:28
