Hour 1 – NFL Week 10 Recap

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

00:00:04
Speaker 2: Hope you had a great weekend. Everybody gangs here ready to go. Dillan in for Seaton, who's on the road in the Maco van driving to Las Vegas. Todd's here, Marvin's here, Paul's here, yours truly and the backroom guys as well as we always do every Monday, best and worst of the weekend. Once you saw that you liked you didn't like, you can dial us up eight seven to seven to three. DP Show email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at dp show. Good morning if you're watching on Peacock that's our streaming partner, download the app if you haven't done so, and we say good morning to our radio affiliates as well. We'll talk some football, NFL and college coming up. We got Eagles at the Packers later on tonight and the Eagles going to Lambeau and they are favored by one and a half, which is kind of interesting. NFL MVP odds courtesy of DraftKings this morning. Some surprises in there, and I hope that voters don't do this, and I know they're going to, but I would caution them. Don't be afraid to put Jonathan Taylor in as MVP, because this is what's going to happen. Jonathan Taylor will be the Offensive Player of the year. It's a cop out. Now, maybe you don't think a running back is more valuable than a quarterback. That's fine. Drake May has been wonderful. Matthew Stafford's been wonderful. I mean, there's a few quarterbacks. Mahomes you can put him in there as well, But Jonathan Taylor has had an incredible start to this season. I'm just talking about now, if you're putting these players under consideration for MVP, because the leading candidate right now is Drake May, then it's Matthew Stafford, then it's Patrick Mahomes, then it's Jonathan Taylor. Drake May has been great, so is Stafford in these last three games. For four touchdowns, no interceptions in those three consecutive games. I don't think that's ever been done before. Mahomes is in there and we can say, yes, he is the most valuable player because that guy can win you a Super Bowl. I understand that. I think you got to be careful with this, that it's just a quarterback Award. It's like the Heisman Jonathan Taylor, It's sort of like Jeremiah Love at Notre Dame. Love is incredible, but I don't think he's going to be in the conversation. Hopefully he gets invited to the Heisman ceremony, but it feels like it's Fernando Mendoza or Julian Sayin Jeremiah Love is incredible. Now once again we get into this argument with the Heisman, who is the best player? Who is the best quarterback on the best team. And that's why we tend to look at quarterbacks there and the MVP. The cop out is going to be NFL Offensive Player of the Year. But when you look at Offensive Player of the Year, there's no quarterback here. So they can be most valuable, but they can be the best offensive player. Jonathan Taylor, by the way, is your big favorite for the Offensive Player of the Year. Jackson Smith Jigma is second on the list. It's a two man race right now, Phu Kannakua, Christian McCaffrey and Jamar Chase. So none of these quarterbacks can be the Offensive Player of the Year. Yes, Marvin, for.

00:03:29
Speaker 3: A non quarterback to win either the Heisman or the NFL MVP Award. You have to have some incredible story. Travis Hunter won the Heisman last year because he's done something nobody in the history of college football, at least in modern era, has ever done before. And that's played both ways. Adrian Peterson his leg was almost off of his body and he came back and rushed two thousand yards and they were like, all right, we'll give it to him this time.

00:03:49
Speaker 2: Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the program. First Hour brought to you by tyer Rack for over forty years they've been doing it, helping you find the right tires for how and what and where you drive. I've ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection, convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tire rack dot Com is the way tire buying should be. We'll have a Play of the Day poll question a few Stats of the day as well. Your phone calls are always welcome. Each seven to seven three DP show operator Tyler's sitting by to take your phone calls. A couple of surprises. I kept waiting for the bills to be the bills, and then all of a sudden, I realized this is one of the new England would always do this. It felt like every year in November December they'd go to Miami and you go, what happened? Well, that was what happened yesterday with the Buffalo Bills. Give the Dolphins credit. I didn't know. You know, if they were dismantling rebuilding, you fire your GM, you keep your coach, and you roll the Bills. Patriots over the Buccaneers. It's a big win. Chargers over the Steelers. You know, this is why Vegas is Vegas. When they say, hey, we still think this is four weeks ago, this is a month ago. And I came on and I said, guess who Vegas has as the favorite to win the AFC North or at least almost equal odds with the Steelers. And it was the Ravens. And the Ravens had I think one or two wins. Now they've won three in a row. Who's the favorite in the AFC North right now? It'd be the Ravens. And if you watched the Steelers last night, that was uninspiring football. I'm watching Aaron Rodgers. He's still trying to be Aaron Rodgers. I think he's just Aaron who is the quarterback for the Steelers, and the numbers are nice, but you know, remember they've moved on from quarterbacks. I mean, Russ put up good numbers there. Although when Russ came into the Giants came yesterday, oh my goodness, it was almost as if he had never played the position before. And the Giants have an issue here. The Giants have a Jackson dart issue. He's played in what eight games? He didn't play in the first game. I think he's been in the concussion tent four times, four different games. Now, it doesn't mean he's had four different concussions, but I got to have a coach who's going to protect my quarterback and maybe from himself. Because Jackson Dartis had seven starts, he has been looked at for concussion. He was sent to the locker room yesterday. Now I like how he plays, but I would love if he didn't take contact that he didn't need to take. Don't be afraid to slide, And that's a big issue here. That's a big problem. But if you're Brian Dable and you're the Giants head coach, you're trying to keep your job because you don't want Russ in there. I thought that they would have put Jameis Winston in there. I would have thought that he would give you a better chance than Russ. I think Russ's confidence is gone these last couple of years gone, and it showed yesterday. Yeah, Dylan also like, if you're going to.

00:07:18
Speaker 4: Lose the game anyways, this on pure entertainment value, put Jamis in there. I at least lose, like more excitingly.

00:07:25
Speaker 2: Well, Jamis has still tried to play for something. Maybe he gets an opportunity to be not a starter but a backup. And you start to look at, you know, some of these quarterback trends. You know, justin Herbert, is he now back? You know, I mean talk about a depleted roster, your two running backs, your two tackles. Keenan Allen is your kind of go to guy. But I mean they won, but they play really good defense. Makes you wonder if they had those weapons, just how good they would be. Yes, Marvin, Yeah.

00:07:56
Speaker 3: Look how good the charges are with Keenan Allen is healthy, first team all when he's healthy.

00:08:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, he has the most receptions in Chargers history. Moved past Antonio Gates last night but watching that game, that was less than inspiring. If you're a Steeler fan, Colts get a big win. Comeback, The Bears gonna win. Ravens. How about the Jets? Hey, as long as his special teams are going to be scoring touchdowns, they're going to be a force to be dealt with. There. But I'm looking at their passing numbers. Let me see if I have so that the Jets own the three lowest net passing yard performances this season. Now, this is where you factor in the yardage from sacks. Fifty four passing yards against the Bills, forty two against the Browns, minus ten against the Broncos. That's I mean, statistically, it's almost impossible in today's NFL to throw fifty four, forty two and minus ten.

00:09:07
Speaker 5: Wow.

00:09:08
Speaker 2: All righty, Dylan, what's the poll question you got for me? All right?

00:09:12
Speaker 4: Well, we got a couple options then for starters right now after this weekend? Who should be the MVP? Drake may or Jonathan Taylor?

00:09:26
Speaker 2: Well? Which team do you believe in? More? How about that one? Let me start with that. Which team do you think is Are the Patriots the best team in the ANFC? Are the Colts? The best team in the ANFC Denver people probably would say Kansas City just because of the history here. But I'd be curious which team does this audience think is better, the Colts or the Patriots, because I think you're still kind of waiting for the Colts. Are they going to come back to Earth? And it's Danny Dimes? Where's Drake May? Drake May looks legitimate? And I think because of that, they got a running game, You've got a great coach in there, and that's a big win on the road.

00:10:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, So odds wise to win the AFC, the Chiefs are favored plus two ninety, then Colts plus four fifty, then Bills plus four seventy five, and then Patriots plus seven hundred.

00:10:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, it feels I mean that loss, and I know it's recency biased with the Bills. After you beat Kansas City and then you do that, it's like Carolina beats Green Bay at Green Bay and then you do that shuck around and find out with the Saints, I'm still not sold on Bryce Love or Bryce Young, Michael Pennix Junior the third. I know it's nine starts, but man, oh man, you're just looking for progress. What do you do well and can you continue to do that? And I haven't seen that, And that's what that's what makes me nervous when you go all in on a quarterback. They spend all that money on Kirk Cousins Carolina. They they wanted Bryce, they got Bryce, and even though they've played some pretty good football, I just don't think that he's as threatening as I would want my franchise quarterback to be. I also think the Niners at some point have to look at this and be realistic. Mac Jones played well yesterday. Numbers might be a little deceiving, but he's played really well. Can you get the same kind of performance from him the rest of the year? And at what point do you look and say, is he better than Rock Purty? Now you pay Brock Purty fifty million dollars. But keep in mind, I go back to the draft and I was told Kyle Shanahan loved mac Jones. And we've seen Kyle Shanahan can make just about any quarterback better except Trey Lance. Jimmy Garoppolo got to a super Bowl, Brock Perdy got to a Super Bowl. Who's to think you know that maybe not this year, but you know down the road, Mac Jones could get you to a super Bowl. I mean, they're not a healthy team right now. And they put up, you know, three hundred yards and threw three touchdowns. But Matthew Stafford was the star. Yeah, that's these are historical numbers here, and he makes it look easy. And I was talking to Paulie last week. I was like, if you would have said whose career is going to last longer, Clayton Kershaw or his grade school buddy, Matthew Stafford, I probably would have said Clayton Kershaw is going to throw longer than Matthew Stafford. How about that? For the you know, backyard bragging rights Stafford and Clayton Kershaw. Whose career would you want? Matthew Stafford or Clayton Kershaw? Both are Hall of famers. You know, people were debating this over the weekend with Matthew Stafford, and I said, you know, what he did in Detroit easy to overlook. But I think what he's done in Los Angeles makes you go kind if he would have had a good team with him, I wonder how we would have viewed him. Now. That's not fair to everybody who plays on a good team or does n't play on a good team, but you do see what he does with a better roster, and who knew who Puka Nakua was or Cooper Cup. He helped make them better wide receivers.

00:13:39
Speaker 3: Yes, Marvin, and I think any I think at NFL MVP would definitely help Matthew Stafford's case for the Hall of Fame more so than a Super Bowl ring.

00:13:49
Speaker 2: I think he's already going to be a Hall of Famer. I do you.

00:13:53
Speaker 3: Think he's like first ballot, like, no doubt.

00:13:55
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if it's that. And once again, there's what forty five writers who vote on this, But just I think winning that Super Bowl, given the longevity, he's going to have numbers. You know, it's different than matt Ryan, Philip Rivers and I think, you know, even Matthew Stafford with his career versus Elis, if you want to throw that in the mix. But I think I think Stafford's going to be a Hall of Famer.

00:14:24
Speaker 6: Yeah, Pauly, Yeah, I mean Stafford a year ago, twenty touchdowns, eight picks, some shoulder injuries a couple of years ago, he's like playing with house money. Now you're just adding a top five MVP or maybe another Super Bowl appearance at this juncture at thirty seven thirty eight, that's how you lock it down.

00:14:39
Speaker 2: He's the first player in NFL history with at least four touchdown passes no interceptions in three consecutive games. Out of the days.

00:14:46
Speaker 4: Sad of the day, that best stat of the day, stat of the day?

00:14:52
Speaker 7: Here comes that?

00:14:53
Speaker 2: What stat of the day? All right, Weston wors to the weekend. We'll get to your phone calls. We'll settle on a poll question for this first hour.

So Jackson Dart did suffer a concussion in the loss to the Bears. So four times in seven games he has been looked at for concussion, and of course the Giants got fined because he was in the blue tent. Was that a week ago or two weeks ago when Brian Dable's yelling for him to come out of the blue tent? Bad look? And Jackson Dart said, Hey, this is the way I'm going to play. Okay, I would have you talk to RG three and a few other of these quarterbacks who wanted to play that way. There's only so many hits you can take. I don't care how tough you are. But here is Brian Dabele, the Giants head coach.

00:17:28
Speaker 9: Look, I'm not sure exactly the play that had happened, So I'm concerned for the kid.

00:17:33
Speaker 5: What do you mean by that?

00:17:35
Speaker 9: I don't know the exact play that it happened for him relative to getting hurt or not getting hurt. But I don't know the play. I don't know when it was. I mean, I just know that when he was going back out there and we were sitting around a huddle. I saw him. I got Ronnie over theres to check him out.

00:17:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're going to have to protect him from himself. But you have a coaching staff that's trying to keep their job attached themselves to the progress of Jackson Dart, and I certainly understand that. But I'm gonna talk to Gerald McCoy, former defensive lineman. He'll join us. When you play against a quarterback like that, because normally there is some professionalism sometimes where you can take a shot, but you don't take a shot, or if you do, you maybe don't take the shot that you could. Here's a guy who is kind of asking for it, engaging in contact, and he runs and he you know, he scores touchdowns. I think he scored four consecutive games a rushing touchdown. A lot of progress there. I just don't want a situation like Miami has with tuatongua Ilo where you're just waiting, just waiting for that other shoot to drop.

00:18:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, Dylan Dart feels a little bit like early Josh Allen in his career, where he was kind of getting knocks for taking maybe unnecessary hits. And he's actually a little bigger than Dart.

00:18:59
Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, a lot bigger. Yeah.

00:19:01
Speaker 6: Paul Jackson's dart has seven games this year, he has seven attempts per game. He's leading the league in quarterback rushes per game in the seven games he's been in.

00:19:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this is his style is to the way he played when he was at Old Miss. He was aggressive. But you know you might get to a point where you've got to sit him down. Well, you might have to look at this and say, let's have him for next year. Let's make sure that he is as healthy as possible, and that'll be a tough decision, certainly for that coaching staff. All Right, get some phone calls in here. Uh David in Ohio, Hi, David, what's on your mind today?

00:19:41
Speaker 10: It was up Dan and got the worst and best of the weekend in that order, watching Aaron Rodgers and my pitch per Steelers once again fall flat on their faces in primetime against the Chargers. Being a Steelers fan right now is like ball in the stock park. At one minute you're surging, the next minute your portfolio is on fire. But the best Dan, it was rewatching the Dan Patrick Show on Peacock and seeing saw with that Mark Davis Wig helped nurse the wounds from me being a Steelers fan, So thank you, all right, David.

00:20:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, Todd had to pay off his bet. He wore Mark Davis Wig on Friday Look Good.

00:20:17
Speaker 11: Mario was like the barber because they first looked like a Justin Bieberwig so before the show, and Paulie was overseeing it to make sure they're cutting the bangs and making it look more like the actual owner's hairdo.

00:20:27
Speaker 2: And Mark go's in there and asked for that haircut too, which is a little scary, Yeah, because I think growing up, you know, sometimes your mom would cut your hair. I know she did that when I was really young, and I remember my sisters they would get bangs. You know, they weren't even even I mean it was you know, got six kids, and she's saying, yeah, I'm not. She didn't have a car, so you know, we weren't going to get a haircut at the barber shop. Just get there. I remember sitting in a high chair and getting my haircut by my mom in the kitchen. You're like sixteenth year no, probably like six or seven years of age, and then she finally just shaved all my hair off one time, and I looked terrible, but you know, she was like, well, it'll take a while for it to grow back, and then I'll you know, cut it again. Yes, yes, Dylan.

00:21:17
Speaker 4: Mark Davis looks more like a self inflicted wound. I can't imagine any professional barber willingly doing that.

00:21:24
Speaker 2: No, but he does go in. I don't know if he comes in with a picture and says, hey, that's the kind of haircut mess mess.

00:21:31
Speaker 12: Yeah.

00:21:32
Speaker 2: Fam Lucas in Texas, Hi, Luke, what's on your mind today?

00:21:39
Speaker 8: They dan good morning, good morning, best and worst of the weekend? You know, I guess my best is my Texans with their big comeback win. I don't know, Like, yes, a nineteen point comeback win in the fourth quarter is exciting, but also this feels just like a weird lost season, so everyone was kind of happy. I mean, the back happening in an empty stadium, and it kind of just reflects the year they're having. I will say my worst is, you know, we're in a new world with sports betting and whatnot, and I just feel like the stuff with a manual place coming out of the Guardians as just the tip of the iceberg. I know that everyone's made their peace with or getting in bed with all the betting companies. But I just feel like maybe ten percent of the people get caught up, and it just, you know, to me, it kind of makes me worry about the fundamental integrity of some of these games. If this is really a sustain problem.

00:22:31
Speaker 2: Yes, it is a problem. Prop bets are a problem because you know what happens. You live in a vacuum. You're thinking, I'm just a pitcher with the Indians, the Guardians, nobody's going to know. Nobody's going to know that. I'm going to throw this pitch in the dirt and my friends are going to bet on this, and then I get a piece of that, and that's what happens. Hey put some money down for me. Well, Vegas is monitoring all of this because they have to. All they want to see is is there any impropriety here? Are there any red flags? All of a sudden, I got a ball in my hand and I can pick up twenty five thousand dollars with one pitch. Fifty thousand my friends could make money one pitch. What could possibly go wrong with that? I hate prop bets because of this. I understand if you're a gambler and you love that. I've gone to baseball games where I bet on you know, if the pitch is a ball or strike with friends. I get it, I understand it. But I just I think all of these leagues, it's like you can't put the toothpaste back in now. I think you got to get away from prop bets in college because those kids have no idea. They're like, hey, nobody's gonna know. Hey, you know I'm playing at this school. No, nobody's gonna Well, you tell one guy and then he tells another guy. That's the problem. All of a sudden, fifteen people know about it. Oh did you hear such and such? You know he's going to do this? Basketball players, Hey, I can you know a couple of turnovers? Here? What's my over under? Oh okay, I'll definitely go under. This is what happens.

00:24:21
Speaker 7: Now.

00:24:21
Speaker 2: You've got baseball players, You've got a picture making six million dollars a year, and he lives in a vacuum. Nobody's going to know, Hey, can you send this to my account in the Dominican Republic? All of these sports, I mean, this is this is what you brought in and you knew it. You know it and uh will continue to have these moments. You know, Johntay Porter with Toronto, nobody's nobody even knows he's in the league and he's got over unders and people are making money, and he's probably thinking nobody is going to notice this. Well, nobody will notice if people don't get greedy, because you could do those prop bets. Hey, why don't you put down twenty five hundred on this? But if you're in Vegas and this is what they'll tell you, they'll be like looking at all of these things that they're like, what's jumping out? What's jumping out? They'll take games off the board and then all of a sudden, you go, we got like seventy five thousand dollars on a pitch from a picture in Cleveland. Ding ding ding, Ding, ding ding Ding. That's all they're looking for is red flags. And look, I've said this DraftKings is a sponsor of ours. I tell you to be responsible. I gave you the numbers on you know, the number of kids who are considered addicted to gambling in New Jersey. The numbers were from eighteen to twenty four years of age, college kids who are betting, and then all of a sudden, you get in and you can't get out. It's a cautionary tale. And it's not that I just tell you, or you to tell your kids or grandkids. I say this to my son. You'll never beat them, You'll never you'll never beat them, But if you do it in a way, and it's you know, but nobody wants to do that. It's like I don't want to win fifty bucks when I can win five hundred and then all of a sudden you're down five hundred five point fifty with the big Now, I got to get that back. You know, this is how all of this stuff works. And now you've got players. These guys are probably going to prison, prison, prison. This isn't sports prison where you don't get to play for a year. It's twenty years that they face for fixing a game. You know, Chauncey Billups, what role did he play? What information did he give out? Damon Jones? What information on Lebron?

00:27:05
Speaker 1: Like?

00:27:07
Speaker 2: People find this out and its valuable, valuable information, But I'm not surprised. I'm really now the rigged poker games and that they had they could see x you know, it's like X ray vision with your cart. Now that one surprise me. Okay, I'm not surprised too often in this sports world. That's where I went, Wow, And you bring in these fish and then you take them for millions of dollars, and there's I was told this over the weekend by somebody who works in law enforcement that there is a big name who got taken for over a million dollars. He wasn't one of the guys who's bringing in people. He was taking advantage of over a million. Another guy told me teams on cross country flights, millions of dollars would change hands playing cards. Now nothing that was, you know, anything nefarious. These are teammates playing cards and millions of dollars were exchanged with teammates and losing. But that's why when you hear about guys who are getting in fights, somebody gonna pull a gun on and you know there's a lot of money involved here, Yeah, Paulin.

00:28:25
Speaker 6: The one thing though, over the past month, I've heard a lot of people say the commissioners of the different sports should step up and say to these different draft outlets, betting outlets that we got to get rid of the prop bets. But all these different places if they get rid of prop bets, they're cutting down their own revenue drastically. I'm looking at the Monday night football game. I'm looking at fifty five different prop bets you could choose from tonight. There's only four around the game itself, over under win, loss, et cetera, et cetera, halftime. So if these places get rid of prop bets, they're going to have less money to spend on sponsoring these leagues, sponsoring the NBA, sponsoring ESPN. It's like a cycle that I don't think can be broken.

00:29:05
Speaker 2: Can you cap these? Because the Super Bowl has all of those goofy prop bets, but they cap that of how much you can spend. That would be the only thing that maybe you could say, you can only bet this amount, that's it, and then therefore you're not going to get these big numbers. But just imagine somebody says to his buddies, I'm going to throw this pitch in the dirt. You can bet on this pitch, and then they make money. But it's the problem is the amount of money that's put on a pitch like that. That's what jumps ound. Yeah, Paul, like you said.

00:29:43
Speaker 6: According to the article with the pitcher clase. It was a random Guardians Mets game in the middle of May twenty twenty three, nobody watching, nobody caring. One of the over under bets was his pitch of ninety four miles per hour. He told his friends allegedly it would be under and they won twenty seven thousand on that one pitch. Then another pitch ball or strike, they won thirty eight thousand when he spiked it five feet in front of the plate, and that set up the red flags.

00:30:12
Speaker 2: And you don't think anybody is going to notice who pitches in May, Yes, Todd, But it's not just greed.

00:30:17
Speaker 11: If you get involved with the wrong people and you think there's just a one time thing, you're just going to do it a couple of times and whether you realize it or not. And it's someone I don't want to use the word mapia, but whatever you want to call it. And now they got you, and now you're doing things you don't want to do because now they're going to thread to ruin your life and your career. So it's now it's not just one time. They're going to tell you to do it as many times they want you to do it.

00:30:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I do believe people have probably gotten compromised here with this NBA situation that if you owe somebody then all of a sudden you can pay it back. We need you to do this. You get compromised, and certainly compromised with the Mob. And who knew. Yeah, haven't heard anything about the Mob unless I go to, you know, a family reunion on my wife's side, that's about the Mob or the artist formerly known as the Mob, because I always say, is it really organized crime? And then my wife will go, don't do it. It seems like it's disorganized crime. I don't know, that's just me. Can I have some more pasta?

00:31:17
Speaker 12: Please?

00:31:19
Speaker 2: I'll have the bragioles please, Yes, Dylan.

00:31:21
Speaker 4: I think the number one rule is don't rat on your friends, and that got broken pretty.

00:31:25
Speaker 2: Frequently as it is. Gus in La, Good morning, Gus. What's on your mind?

00:31:33
Speaker 7: You're more than mister Patriey hoping the boys had a good weekend. Well pretty much just took the wind all out of my wings with that one, because well the best of my weekend. Fernanda Mendoza, I don't care what anybody's got to say. That boy's the Heisman winner. In my book, what a game, What a way to stamp it there with the exclamation point at the end. That, boy, to me, is a heighten winter this year, worse of the weekend the Pittsburgh Steelers. All I'm gonna say, David and Ohio nailed it. It is a terrible season. I don't care what the record says. This is a bad season. And then I was gonna say, you know, this thing with the cheating and the gambling and everything, I mean, I had something else I was gonna say, but that all just got taken out away. But I'm now going to say, is that is this kind of going to go away? Because they're saying, holy crap, they're catching everybody and everyone's going to prison or is it the next shoe going to drop of like so and so in the NFL has been arrested on this.

00:32:34
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think it's going away. And nobody thinks that they're going to get caught. And you know, once again, you're pitching for Cleveland, you're facing the Mets. It's a game in May. Who cares, but Vegas cares? And I don't think they are prop bets for you know, when you're betting offshore. If you're betting illegally, I don't think you can do prop bets. I might be wrong, but I don't think you can. I mean, DraftKings, fan duel, all the like. They want you to see those those prop bets. You know, that's that's big business for them. Yeah, Paul, like you're saying.

00:33:15
Speaker 6: Back in the day, when you bet with a legal bookie, it was parlays and game bets. There weren't twenty five different prop bets of how many yards in the first quarter by blank blank?

00:33:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's different. But I think if you cap it, it can be fun. But I can't have prop bets in college. I can't do that to college kids or give them that temptation. Yes, dealing, what if you.

00:33:39
Speaker 4: Had to parlay the props? So then it gets diffused a little bit away from one person. See if the parlay with someone else, you can't get to more than one guy that easily.

00:33:48
Speaker 2: I don't know if anything's going to change. I don't I don't know, all right, you know what, Let me take a break here. I want to get to our play of the day. More phone calls coming up.

Speaker 7: Check this out.

00:34:21
Speaker 6: DJ and Omar both far side Becker near side, Mendoza in the backfield back to throw. Pressure comes again, throws it to the ends of Texas.

00:34:31
Speaker 1: Baby, is it a touchdown?

00:34:32
Speaker 2: Touchdown?

00:34:39
Speaker 1: Hen he plays foot down, It's a star Indiana.

00:34:43
Speaker 2: That's courtesy a liar Field Sports. Might be the biggest individual play so far this college football season. Indiana goes to Penn State and they need some drama there. In the final minute, they went eighty yards in a minute and fifteen for the game winning score. Omar Cooper, he should be able to go to New York with his quarterback. If Fernando Vendoza is going to be up for the heisman, I would say your plus one should be your wide receiver. Play the Day.

Dylan Gabriel did not look good at all. I don't know if that means that Cleveland is going to give Shador Sanders a chance at this point. I think that they should, or I hope they do, but only based on Dylan Gabriel just not looking good and missing wide open wide receivers. Didn't look like he was a quarterback in NFL quarterback now he's at his moments and you got to make some plays, but you got to hit the open guy. And you know, maybe Shador Sanders is a lot further away than anybody wants to believe. But if he's your backup quarterback or Bailey Zappi, then put Bailey. Bailey Zappi is a better quarterback than Dylan Gabriel probably right now. He's got experience, he's been in NFL offenses. Put him in there. If not, then give Shador Sanders a chance.

00:36:34
Speaker 3: Here.

00:36:35
Speaker 2: A couple more phone calls in here, Chris and Syracuse Hi, Chris, what's on your mind today?

00:36:40
Speaker 7: Hey?

00:36:40
Speaker 13: Thanks a lot of dance. Hey, I'm going to veer off of my best and worst because I know you got other callers and we're up against it at the top of the hour, you know. But you were talking last segment about in the Mafia being involved in this gambling stuff, which you hear all over the place, especially lately, and I've always been curious. We're so sad sensitive now to like the Redskins, the Indians, not just the sports but everywhere in the term Bill's Mafia. Unless I'd missed it, I've never heard any blowback against it. And I'm one hundred percent of Italian and I couldn't care less, but I find it fascinating, again, unless I missed it, that there's not even a little blowback, because that's kind of universally used now and even a lot of commentators use it.

00:37:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't even think of it. I mean, we romanticize the Mafia. When you watch movies that have, you know, Mafia in it, you find yourself rooting for the Mafia. It feels like like the bad guys and you're kind of rooting for them. It's weird, but No, I don't get caught up in Bill's mafia.

00:37:46
Speaker 3: Yes, Mormon, and I don't think the Italian community has ever said you called this to what the mafia?

00:37:51
Speaker 7: What?

00:37:53
Speaker 12: Yeah, Dylan just rename it the Bill's Costinostra. Let's go legit with it. That might draw some attention. That one might. Zach and Knoxville, Good morning, Zach. What's on your mind today?

00:38:09
Speaker 7: ADP?

00:38:09
Speaker 8: Thanks for taking my call.

00:38:10
Speaker 2: Just a quick question.

00:38:13
Speaker 8: I don't know if you have enough time to get to it.

00:38:15
Speaker 5: This hour, but I know how you are about giving running back to second or even third contract. Then, with Daniel Jones looking to get a contract from the Colts, would you sign Jonathan Taylor up he is under contract through next year.

00:38:30
Speaker 2: Yes, but I would probably wait till the end of this year. I don't like jumping the gun, but that might be one of those where, you know, maybe you give him a three year deal. I don't want to give a running back second contract and it's five years, three years, but I'm gonna pay you top end dollar. I'm gonna pay you commensurate to what you're gonna do. I mean, he's been he's been great, and you talk talk about running backs make moves in really small like boxes. It just feels like and Taylor had a move that he scored a touchdown where it's just one move and there's a defender right in front of you. He doesn't even get a hand on you that ability, and he does something that Le'Veon Bell did really really well, and that is he waits, He kind of glides a little bit to the left or right, and then that offensive line has been really good and then he just hits the hole. Le'Veon Bell did that. Le'Veon Bell changed running backs. You know that style where he's just kind of drifting, drifting, boom, and you see that with Jonathan Taylor. But Jonathan Taylor has track speed, Like that's the difference. When he goes, he's gone.

00:39:47
Speaker 6: Yeah, Pauli Taylor also has zero fumbles this year. He's making fifteen million this year, fifteen million next year, relatively a bargain. He signed his second contract two years ago for a three year, forty five million dollars.

00:40:01
Speaker 2: You yeah, but I don't know if it's a bargain because it's still fifteen million at that position. Now, do I consider him their most valuable player? I do? And it's like Saquon Barkley with Danny Dimes. It's not a case of Saquon needed Danny Dimes. Danny Dimes needed Saquon. Jonathan Taylor and maybe the Colts have their their quarterback and their running back. But you know, given five years to a running back, I don't care what kind of year he has. And you see the mileage that it's really hard. Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley, you have those incredible years. It's really hard to replicate that. And I remember where the over under for Derrick Henry was like, I don't know, twelve hundred yards or something, and people are like, oh my god, I thought he's going to run for two thousand. I'm like, no, you only have so many carries. Your body has only so many carries. We'll talk some football. Gerald McCoy, NFL Network analyst, and Rick Neuheisel. Did Fernanda Mendoza win the Heisman with one play this past weekend? Also some of the coaching rumors out there have that for you as well. More phone calls. We will give you our best and worst of the weekend. One hour in the books, two more to go here on The Dan Patrick Show.
