You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio.
It's hour two on this Thursday, Dan and the Dan It's Dan Patrick Show. We had some good sports conversation that first hour, only to be better this second hour. Every day's the super Bowl?
Good got yeah?
Right, even though it's ten days until the super Bowl.
It's radio conversation.
Who's with me? Come on, let's mama. Yeah. Seaton's on the road. Dylan is in his chair handling the poll question duties. We'll get phone calls coming up. Dylan, would you recap our ones poll question and what's on the agenda for hour two?
Yes, dance.
Our one was would you have traded Alex Smith after twenty seventeen without knowing the future? Sixty seven percent?
No, It was on this day seven years ago. We were in Minneapolis at the Super Bowl, had Alex Smith on, and he knew something was happening. He just didn't know what. At least he pleaded ignorance, and then two hours later he got traded to Washington.
All right.
Our two pole question yep.
Our two will the NBA go to forty minute games within the next five years?
Yes?
Or no? I don't know if we need to say it that way? I think would you be in favor of the NBA going from forty eight to forty minutes? Yes?
Boy, I actually like the way it's worded, mostly because I wrote it, but secondly because, like you said yesterday, Adam Silver, Commissioner Silver doesn't do things haphazardly. He that's a trial balloon for maybe something he's got in his back pocket for the future, and now it's no longer in its back there.
Okay, so we think do we think it will happen in five years?
Todd?
Do you think that we'll go from forty eight to forty minutes for an NBA game in five years?
No?
Viylan, I'd like it too, but no, Marvin, No Paul for sure. Whooh, I'll say yes, I'll say yes. I think there was a little more method to the madness with that suggestion. And once again, you know, he's I think sixty one years of age. David Stern I think retired when he was seventy, So maybe Adam Silver is also looking at his legacy of what am I going to leave? How's the game going to be when I leave? Rob Manfred improved baseball. Roger Goodell has improved the NFL,
or at least the bottom line. That'll be his legacy, the amount of money that these teams are worth. Also, there's going to be an international package. I talked about this when at first it was suggested, and I said, no, this is happening where you're going to have an entire season of games in Europe. So you'll have whatever, you know, a full slate of games, and they're going to sell those. They'll make a billion dollars a year off of that. You're going to be going all around the world, So
there's going to be all of these games. Teams will be playing games all around the world, and they'll sell those games. They won't go to necessarily CBS or NBC or Fox, they'll go to Amazon or you know, if there's another buyer that comes in. That's going to happen. You know, the commissioner has improved the values of these teams the bottom line, and you know, they cleaned up the concussion lawsuit. You know, it's pretty pretty much a teflon league no matter what happens. You know, they got
through COVID, they got through Colin Kaepernick. I mean, they've gotten through a lot of different things. Black lives matter. I mean, there's a lot of things that they've dealt with and they just tend to move straight ahead. But the NBA, you know, you're going to be losing Durant, Lebron and Steph Curry here in the next couple of years, certainly with Steph Curry and Lebron James. Your stars are international stars. They aren't homegrown. How is your audience going
to deal with that here in the United States? Are you going to go out? Do you want to see Joker? Do you want to see Luca Shay, Gilgis Alexander. I mean that's that, you know, the commissioner has to that he is aware of this a global sport and you know, we have a couple one hundred million people here. You got billions around the country or around the world, and that's why he's looking at the international rules that these players.
We play the Olympics forty minutes ten minute quarters. And you also have the EuroLeague, which the NBA would like to maybe start up a EuroLeague and maybe you play games over there. And we just saw Wemby go back to Paris. They sold out two games, the Spurs did, So you got to think of you got to think globally. Baseball thought globally. You know the World Baseball Classic. You know, that's what you have to think about. It's not about us,
they take us for granted. It's they want to make sure they're trying to incorporate other countries where there's billions of fans.
Yes.
And the thing was, this was the goal for David Stern when David Stern put the Dream Team together, this was the goal to have international influence on the game.
Right.
And now look at what they're doing all across the world, just not in America.
It'll be February fifth, at seven Central time local time. I'll be at Tippatinas in New Orleans with Dan Levittard. It'll be Dan Interviews, Dan tickets. I think there might be tickets left at Danpatrick dot com and across our social media platforms eight seven to seven to three DP show. We'll get to phone calls coming up. Peacock is our streaming partner. Thank you for downloading the app on our radio affiliates. iHeartRadio, Fox Sports Radio, Paulie and I were
talking about this this morning before the show. Sakwon Barkley, we didn't know what his career was going to be if he stayed with the Giants. They decided they wanted to move on from him, so then it became a moot point. So now he's going to Philadelphia. He goes to Philadelphia and he has a two thousand yard season. Could have played that last game, maybe broke Eric Dickerson's record. Decided that he would let his backups get some run. He had an incredible year. He changed the Eagles offense.
He's not going to win the MVP. Are we going to see? Like, what could a running back do to win the mvpick? What more could Saquon Barkley have done this year than he did to win the MVP? Very likable. He rushes for two thousand yards. The team is winning, now, the team's in the Super Bowl. He gives you highlights. These are sixty yard runs. We're not going to have a running back win the MVP. I mean, Derek Henry had an unbelievable year, but we're talking about Lamar Jackson.
Saquon Barkley had a better year than Josh Allen did. I mean Josh Allen is commended for playing sensible football, mistake free. They ran the ball more ta Kwan Barkley. If this isn't MVP worthy, it's never going to be. And this is the cop out, and this is what I don't like. Hey, you didn't win the MVP, but you get the Offensive Player of the Year. It's it's got to be littered with running backs, like the MVP is always a quarterback. Hey, Cooper Cup, you won the
Triple Crown with receiving. You're going to be the NFC Offensive Player of the Year. Congratulations. This feels like a Christian McCaffrey type ward too. The Christian McCaffrey Award goes to Christian McCaffrey. Okay, the last time somebody other than a quarterback won MVP that was Adrian Peterson correct twelve, but he had to come back from blowing out his knee,
so there was a hook to that. How many when's the last time a non When's the last time a quarterback won Offensive Player of the Year, Marvin PAULI, do you have that? Yeah?
I got the OPOI list here, okay, and it's littered with wide receivers and running backs. Mahomes won it in twenty eighteen. Now that was his air quotes. First year rookie year, So.
He got it.
He got both. He got OPOY and MVP, so that debunks that. But in the past five years, Christian McCaffrey twenty twenty three, Justin Jefferson twenty two, Cooper Cup twenty one, Derrick Henry twenty and Michael Thomas the wide receiver of the Saints all one Offensive Player.
Of the Year.
Okay, don't I don't see a scenario where running back is the MVP unless the quarterbacks don't put up great numbers. Lamar is going to win the MVP. He put incredible numbers, historical numbers, and his team was winning. But Saquon bark you know, we talk about voter fatigue sometimes. Well if that's the case, then vote for Saquon Barkley. He is
the MVP. And I would think that the voters, I'm going to guess predominantly old school voters, would say, Hey, the return of the running back, yay, because that used to be the key to success. You had your great running back, you go. I mean, he basically doubled his rushing total from the previous year, So for looking at he went from here to here. Nobody had that statistical jump like he did. And you can give it to Lamar. I know the quarterback handles the ball more than anybody.
But if you're looking for a story and maybe you had voter fatigue, then why not Saquon Barkley. And now look at what's happening in the playoffs. Lamar's gone, Josh Allen's gone. Saquon Barkley right there, and if they win, he's going to have to play well. Guest, uh Since the turn.
Of the century, only four running backs MVP.
You mentioned Adrian Peterson twenty twelve, going from recent to further back, Ladanian, tomlins in two thousand and six, Seawn Alexander two thousand and five, Marshall Falk two thousand, just four since the turn of the century.
Yeah, yeah, stat of best, stead of the day, stat of the day?
Here comes that?
What stat of the day? Twenty three hundred yards from scrimmage and I believe he's still a little behind Terrell Davis for the most rushing yards for a season including the postseason. I think maybe one hundred away or maybe a little less than that. This would be the greatest rushing total in NFL history. And now we're bringing the running back back. You know, we devalue them so much that we didn't even consider them to be a super you know, an MVP candidate.
Yeah, pulling, and you said before that MVP should factor in salary. I think Saquan makes under thirteen million this year, so you're getting the best running back in a decade, including Derek Henry right there, for the price of a tight end, a good tight end.
But if he doesn't win it this year, and he's not going to win it this year, then what would a running back have to do? If if he broke I still maintain if he broke the record, then I think he could have gotten the MVP because it would have been easy to go. Yeah, well, he set the single season record there, granted and he had an extra game. We don't let that get in the way.
Yes, Mark, I think Saquan needed to score probably twenty five or twenty six touchdowns because I think Ladanian Thomlinson and Shawn Alexander both had really big touchdown seasons, just not lots of yards.
He had thirteen rushing touchdowns, but you could make a case Ladanian Tomlinson had some of these statistically crazy seasons for a running back, like those numbers sometimes you look and you go, golly, it was just he played for the Chargers and you knew that they were going to fizzle out in the postseason.
Yeah, Pauline Tomlinson had a bunch of fifteen hundred yard rushing seasons plus, but he had a couple seasons. He had a season his third year with San Diego he ran for seventeen hundred yards and thirteen touchdowns. He also caught one hundred passes one hundred, yeah, twenty four hundred all purpose yards.
Yeah, he scored touchdowns too. You're right, LT underrated.
Because of not playing in the biggest stage.
Yeah, he never got to that moment. But then we always, you know, like we just had a stat last hour, Andrew and Washington. The last time you had There's been one team that had a thousand yard rusher in the last decade that won the Super Bowl, and that was the Patriots with Lea Garrett Blunt. It's it's almost like you don't need to be you don't like, the last time you had the leading scorer in the NBA win a championship. Now with Jordan you did that Iverson they
got to the NBA Finals. So it's kind of rare. I think maybe it's still rare of leading the league in scoring and you're gonna be playing for a championship. I could be off on that, but it always felt like that guy. Hey, scored a lot of points, but you're not gonna win a championship with that guy. All Right, we'll get phone calls. Michael Vick, the new head coach at Norfolk State, will join us. Coming up, we'll play
in or out. We'll hear from Seaton on the road as well, and we'll get to your phone calls as well. Take a break back after this Dan Patrick's show.

Hey Dan, thanks for dragging my call. I was listening to the show yesterday and I realized that you and I have something in common, and that is that I had someone at my wedding. Also get engaged and it happened to be our maid of honor. Of course it wasn't her fault, but even she felt bad about it. She hugged my wife and was like, this is still your day. I mean, that's a bad thing when you have to apologize for getting engaged. And so I want
to see if you're with me on this. If anyone gets engaged at a wedding, I think there has to be a twenty five percent see that they pay towards.
The wedding, sure, or that gift they give better be really good. I mean, it's inexcusable to get engaged at somebody else's wedding or announced that you got engaged, because that happened at my wedding. I just arrived at the reception. I just got there, and this person in my family tree came up and said, not to upstage you, but we got engaged. It took everything in me to not go, I'm going to pound your face right now in your tucks. Yes, yes, I may get blood on my tucks. It'll be worth it.
I thought, oh my god, this just happened. So I couldn't say anything to my now wife. I said to her later and then so she said, just don't you know, don't worry about it. Just who cares? I said, I care. You didn't have to. There's all these other days. Why this day? Because you weren't happy with me being happy it was our day and you tell me you got engaged. That's thirty seven years ago. I'm over it, yes, Marvin.
So if you if you get engaged at somebody else's wedding you hate the bride and groom.
You have a problem with somebody hate hates the word. Well, I don't know if this person in my family tree hated me. Yes, fault.
I've known you for a long time and I don't think you told me that story before. I was bothered for you when you told me the story. It is such a violation. And if someone has a lack of awareness and they somehow did it, it's not the bride's fault or the future bride's fault, because I'm assuming that gentlemen asked in this scenario, you have to be aware that on someone else's wedding day, you do whatever you can to keep the focus and enjoyment on them. And there is no bigger violation than this.
There is no scenario, no Now let's say after the wedding and you're spending a couple of days in some remote area. Okay, Hey, I'm in the I'm in the I'm in the spirit. Hey, families are around. Even then, it's wrong.
The wedding must have been completed before you do this.
I think you gotta be back from your honeymoon before somebody else can get engaged.
I just it's great to.
See you're overt. Yeah.
Yes, do it as an agent of chaos, though it is kind of a funny bit.
If you're doing it as a bit.
If you're completely like delusional and you're like, this seems like a good place to do this, that's one thing.
But if you're like, I'm gonna kind of mess this thing up.
Unless it's curb your enthusiasm. Yeah, but you can't do that. You just can't do that, or you can't. It was a must not tell my wife, must not tell.
You could do it and not say anything.
Yeah, you don't have to tell people. But the message was delivered to me. It was a shot across the bow and we had rented out one of those now they called a yach but it was a boat that goes around Manhattan. My wife is from New York. We get on the boat and I thought I could push
this person over. And I don't know if anybody would have caught me, Like if I just nudged him and he just you heard a splash, you know, or I I you know, all of a sudden, he's getting ready to head towards the water, and I start singing loudly.
Anything can happen on the open seat, and it can.
Yeah, fallow the headline in the post newly engaged man dies in Hudson River.
Yeah, suspicious talking hairdoo is suspected.
But this is a public service you're doing right now.
I am telling anybody who's ever thought about doing that, do not do that. It is horrible. Yes, Marva, were.
There any other no nos for your wedding? No?
No.
My wife thought it would be get a great if we gave little picture frames as you left the wedding reception, so you know something you could put a picture in. Maybe it's a picture of you, and that you could put it in a picture frame and be a nice momentum. People were grabbing handfuls of these little picture frames. It was one per PAULI, It was one per.
Yes, boy, my wedding, and I'm not comping it to yours, because that's an upper level violation. At my wedding, I was producing it a little bit, as you know, that's my nature, and I really ask people, if you're going to give some type of speech or grab the mic, including myself and my wife, keep it tight, you know, keep it tight. My brother in law asked if he could give a speech at a wedding. I told him I'd prefer if he didn't, which means I really don't want you to. When I I prefer my wife. It's
her brother. She was in lockstead with me. She goes, we want to keep it tight. We're going to say a little something. If if my wife's father wants to say something. He paid for the wedding, he's got open mic night. However, the brother in law, he was kaibashed. I actually said to him two days before the wedding. He joked, He goes, you know, I'm just gonna do something quick on the mic. I looked him and go, please, if you want to do one thing for me, you do not have to give me a check or a gift.
Please don't give a speech at our wedding, and I was no joking to it. It was dead eyed eye. He did eleven minutes.
And Dan.
Just sweat.
Yeah, yeah, redhead, you've been there.
I mean, it's not to your level, but in the moment, you can imagine.
I would have taken this person giving a speech over telling me hijacking, hey, and to say it that way, not to upstage you are you kidding me? Look how gorgeous my wife?
Stop?
Shut up?
And then I have to just eat it.
I just have go.
Okay.
I think if I could have chewed on the rolling rock beer bottle that I had in my hand, I would have.
Yes, marm When me and my wife were cutting the cake, somebody, one of her friends smash her in the face, smash her in the face, and my wife looks at me, she goes, if you like if it looks could kill like mine. She's so when my uh, when I get really mad, my nost will start flaring. She's like, She's like, hey, so and so relax because you won't be at this wedding in about two seconds. Because she she was so
adamant about it. Oh that's funny, So who I said, you know how much this tucks cost that I this is money I don't have.
But I don't get that where you smash your wife in the face with the cake. She's got her makeup on. She's spent years thinking about this moment. Let me, as Paulli likes to say, it's not a tailgate, it's not a Brett party. No, like, hey, this will be money, it's not hot. That's when you start protecting her. You're gonna protect her, right then, don't be smashing her in the face with pie cake.
What are we doing?
Yeah, Paul quickly, I mean we do it around here, a pie to the face the sports show.
Yeah, we're not getting married, right. You know.
I've always said at my wedding, I put my sister in charge of being the bulldog, the wolf as we like to call it from pulp fiction. And if anyone got out of hand, my sister, who's twice as terse as I am, was going in and she shut down some things. She was like a secret service with the earpiece and I got this and she whisked people out. I think every wedding should have an enforcer, and there's a wedding coordinator, but that person's usually nice and they
work for the property. You need to find a cousin who's got a sketchy passed and or maybe a bigger cousin who will owes you a favor, criminal records your money and say like, I may need you to take someone out and walk them from the property.
I went to a wedding where the wedding planner got drunk and so they were missing these cues of what they were going to do and are we cutting the cake? And they couldn't find the wedding planner.
That's me as a wedding planner.
Yeah sure, I'm sure. Well, if anybody hired you as a wedding planner, it's on them.
The wedding ain't happening.
Yeah, maybe maybe I'll hire Polly he gets a side hustle. You're a wolf. Oh, I just send you in and just say, you know, take care of business.
I would love that.
Yeah, all right. A couple of phone calls in here Marcus in South Dakota. Hi Marcus, what's on your mind today?
Hey Dan, thanks for taking my call. A couple of quick things. Great call of the commissionery yesterday? What's the stats thing? I think it's great? Did because Wilt already owns every stat and we don't acknowledge it anyways, so I don't know why they care. And then to get the big man back and not change the rules too much, maybe make dunks worth three points. And I was just like eight to ten dunks a game.
I saw.
Maybe make it a little simple, try it out, see how it works.
Yeah, but it used to be there were too many dunks in the game markets so much so we did a no dunk night on Sports Center. I've mentioned this that I said, can we show highlights and have no dunks? Everybody looked at me like I was crazy. I said, how about we just show some basketball players alla fails, show a dunk the very last highlight, And the very last highlight of that highlight was a Kevin Garnett dunk, and the person who put in the dunk didn't even
realize it. It was like, oops, sorry, put in another dunk. But yeah, we used to have too many dunks. Now we have too many three point shots. Sean and Oregon. Hey Sean, what's on your mind today?
Hey Dan?
This is just another guy that's calling in to say, you know, I want to see more dunks. I watched basketball. I love Basketball's my favorite sport as a basketball town. And it's all about athletic, freak athleticism. And I heard you talk about the eighties and nineties basketball. You know that was when the basketball became the best after the ABA merger. You know out here out West we had that free flowing style of basketball, that ABA style.
And well, no, that that was with doctor Jack Ramsey. That was nineteen seventy nine, seventy eight, seventy seven. That that was wonderful basketball. I'll never argue with that. But no, when the Cavaliers in the Knicks played when pat Riley and Mike Frittello were coaching, that was horrible basketball. First team to ninety ended up winning. By the way, Terrell Davis had twenty four hundred seventy six total rushing yards in nineteen ninety eight. Take one Barkley needs thirty yards
in the Super Bowl to break that record. Thirty away. Michael Vick, Norfolk State head football coach, four time Pro Bowler, number one pick in the draft. Why why can't take one Barkley win the MVP? Why won't he win the MVP.
I'm not saying he won't.
I don't He's not gonna win it possible, but it's possible he could win it. I mean, if he win the Super Bowl, just save you the Philadelphia Eagles happen.
To win the Super Bowl.
You're looking at a guy who's been, you know, one of the greatest set the position and in many, many years in football. So it's very possible that he can win the MVP. It's not out of the question. Just because of the running back, the whole narratives. I don't know where it comes from, but Saquan is that's the thing that only about. If I'm saying it's corrected, five to ten running backs have done in the history of the National Football League.
I think it's fired.
So let's not forget that.
Yeah, so that's an elite group, that's like the top echelon.
But if he's not gonna win it, because the voting has already done, If he's not going to win it this year, to rush for two thousand yards twice as many as he had with the Giants the previous year, he changed the Eagles offense. He's a home run hitter. It's a great story. The Giants didn't want him.
I know.
Lamar had a wonderful year but I don't think a running back is going to win an MVP in my lifetime.
Mike, I mean, you can you can never say never.
I say that, I mean and I think about it because I'm kind of with you.
I mean, as I think over the years.
But it shouldn't just be an award that grants it to a running back, I mean a quarterback. It should be an opportunity for a running back or a receiver or defensive player.
It should not be should be biased at all.
And so you know, I wouldn't be surprised if Lamar won it or Josh won it, because those guys they truly deserve it as well. But there's only one trophy to go around. But I mean, Saquan if he wins it, if he wins the Super Bowl, I think, you know, I think it'd already be decided by then. Yeah, I'm sorry, because the honors is the night before. So let I got the sequence out of water.
Yeah, but that's a nice consolation price, Mike. Yeah, if he doesn't win the regular season MVP but ends up winning this.
Yeah, I really feel like it should be decided once the season is over, you know, when once the team is you know, granted that super Bowl trophy, then you could say.
It might be a guy on the on the super Bowl winning team. It might not, But I think.
That takes precedent because what if that guy's having a super Bowl type caliber season, you know, m v P caliber season, and then he goes into the super Bowl and win it. You know, why wouldn't he he beat that guy, especially if you put up numbers.
But who knows, Man, this is not for me to decide on.
He's Michael Vick, Norfolk State football coach. When did this idea start in your mind to be a head coach?
Well, it started many many years ago, in like twenty seventeen when I was doing an internship in Kansas City with Andy Reid when he first drafted Patrick. Actually the first year he got Patrick, Alex Smith was there and so I was there, you know, just learning, you know, to be a coach and what it what it truly meant or the work that had to be put in.
I seen behind the scenes. I learned a lot.
I just happened to get a call from Fox Sports at the time, and so, you know, having a conversation with Andy, we felt like that was probably the best the best route to go in my life because you know, becoming a coach and becoming a head coach, you gotta it's a lot that you have to you know, go through. You know, you gotta climb the rings. You gotta you
gotta earn it. And uh, you know, it was always the thought of mine to put myself in a position to try to earn a head coach and spot in college football.
At so point. And I know I had to do the hard work.
But you know, working you know for five sports is you know, it's helped me grow as a football player as well, you know, from watching enough film and watching enough games and saying in tune to knowing like how to compartmentalize it and put it all together and put the team together. And so the opportunity with the blessing,
I'm appreciative of it. I had already conditioned my mind to be ready when the head coach the opportunity came one day, if it ever came, and you know, I got it, and so I felt like it was best to take advantage of it and looking forward to doing some great things.
Seven years ago today, Alex Smith got traded. Yeah, what did Andy?
I mean?
He had to see something in my homes that you trade away Alex Smith, who had some really good seasons. In fact, that season, I think he had twenty six twenty seven touchdowns, five interceptions. They won eleven games three times while he there. But what do you think, what do you think Andy saw with Mahomes that maybe you saw that you know, there is why we have Patrick Mahomes now.
It was I mean, I can't say exactly what Andy was thinking, but he may have looked at the situation. You know, probably spend about you know, four or five years with Alex, and you know, you draft this young quarterback to Bill for the future. And I think in Patrick's last game in the rookie season, I think he had an amazing game against Denver if I'm not mistaken, And it was just you see, probably seeing things, and
I know I saw things. Andy probably seen some things that you know, it was just kind of like unprecedented the quarterback position, and it's kind of unhearld and so you like, I know, I can deal with this, you know, might as well get it going now and try to just expert like the process of getting to a championship. Alex still has some good years there was some teams out there who could use them at the time, and it wasn't like it up in a bad situation.
So uh, you know, Alex wasn't coming.
Off of super Bowl caliber season or he didn't win the Super Bowl, so it kind of made sense to do it at the time.
But you know, I can guarantee this to Alex and Andy still.
Can have a great relationship to the day and Alex appreciate everything Andy has done for him. So it was just Patrick's time and you can see that it was the right decision that was made.
Are you going to try to schedule a game with Dion and Colorado to play it? Yeah?
Colorado, Yeah it's a possibility, but you know what, it would have to make all the sense in the world.
Uh.
You know, it's funny.
I spoke to Dion about, you know, those type of games and scheduling, you know, big time games for the school, and you just want to be cautious when you when you're doing that, you know, you don't want to put the kids in a bad situation. You know, obviously it helps the school out and we'll pick and choos our spot said in terms of what's the right team to play before I put him in a situation where, uh, you know, it's a.
Detriment to them.
And when we do we finally schedule that game, we'll be ready to play that game and be competitive in that game.
If you guys had a forty yard dash. Now you and Dan, Now he's got the foot problem, so you could probably take him, right.
I mean I would say probably before that, Yeah, I probably can take him.
Now, what about before the foot?
Before I was about to say before then, I still wild get it EDGs the Prime, because because Prime ran a four too on too many that Gud I think he might have.
Ran a four one.
I think it was a four to one and change.
He ran a four one. Yeah he used to Yeah he could run.
So I would get an to the goat without a doubt.
All right, before I let you go, what would be a successful season for you this year?
A successful season for us?
I think it's, you know, to double amount of wins that we we had last year. You know, as I watched the film and I watched those young men, they competed hard last year. They put forth a lot of effort, but we all acknowledged collectively that it was it's a little bit more that could have been done.
And so you know, you know those guys they.
Around there, they talking, you know, championship, and that's the way they're supposed to think. And that's the way they're supposed to talk. But you can talk about it, you
gotta be about it. And I think for us right now, it starts with our strength and conditioning program, tackling the off season, making sure that we put in the hard work and we get to know one another, build that camaraderie, come out of the spring feeling good about going into the fall, and then start putting the right pieces together. So you know, we know, you know what we have in the building at the program. We just want to
continue to strengthen that. So you know, if we can get you know, we can double our wins you know from last year.
I mean that's a successful see.
Will you be the best quarterback in the building still?
Yes? Hey?
And so somebody you know shows me on all accounts that they ready to plan that level and I know, real real soon then you know, we can pass the torch around.
I say that good to talk to you. Good luck. That's Michael Vick. We'll take a break. Phone calls coming up, After this.
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio w APP.
We're going to play the popular game in or Out. You're either in or You're out. Also, I touched on this to start the show that Bill Belichick kind of having a little bit of fun with the Lombardi Trophy, saying maybe we need to name it after Tom Brady. I'll have an idea about that coming up as well. All right, let's play in or out. Polly, you give us the topics, we decide if we're in or out.
Thanks for recapping the rules, Dan, Okay, here we go. Let's start with an easy one. Adam Silver should move forward with his forty minute game idea.
I'm in because by moving forward doesn't mean that you're going to actually put it into play, but I think that there should be discussions about it. Yes, Pomp, if.
You look at it, he got the blowback from it the past twenty four hours and it was not out of hand. This is about as bad as it's going to get.
But here's the thing. It felt like people who don't watch basketball commented on this to say this is why they don't watch basketball. I don't know if he's worried about you that if you say, all stop with the load management, stop with all the threes, okay, trying to grow the game.
Yes, Dylan, So I actually think I've cracked the code on this. Okay, you make the quarters ten minutes, change twos and three to threes and fours, so the scoreboard still looks the same as the triple digits, and that will also simultaneously disincentivize what it's now four point shooting, because three fours is seventy five percent verse two thirds sixty six.
Thank you, Yes.
Paul, as someone who's usually in charge of convoluted, questionable ideas on the shelf, that is a great idea. You de emphasize analytically the three pointer while keeping the scoreboard similar. It actually works. Remember when I said make threes two and a half and I was laughed almost out of the building.
This is a better.
Way of literally almost you're almost out the building and we kept laughing going and you wouldn't go out of the building, Uh, todter you in or out? I am in, all right, Dyl, I'm in in. Marvin in Okay, here we go.
All right, a running back will not win an MVP in the next decade.
I'm in on that won't happen.
Todd.
I am out.
I think it's gonna happen, all.
Right, Bill super In, Okay, Marvin, and okay, all right, here's one that's a little deep. The Washington Commanders are rolling right now, and the future appears bright based off that they should stick with the name Commanders in perpetuity.
Todd, because of their success and with Jane there as a rookie, I say, now, you're I don't want to say stuck with it, but I'd go Commanders.
Stay with Commanders.
We're doing in Marvin. Hell no, you want to change in Yeah, okay, terrible to.
What the football club.
I did like the football club. I like that a whole lot better than the Commanders. Now. I think they're going to have to stay Commanders. I was told long time ago that from the Commissioner's office, if they were moving back into the city, that they were building a new stadium, then they could get their nickname back. But I don't I don't know if that's going to happen. All Right, Paul her here we go.
Quote did you vote on this one?
I said that I keep commander.
When you're doing well, it's easier to do things like that. Okay, quick one. I want to see the Chiefs repeat.
Todd out, Dylan, I'm in? Why not, Marvin, They've already repeated so three peat? Yes, I'm in, thrice pete, Yeah, I'm in. And then pat Riley can make more money since he trademark three pete.
If the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, Travis Kelsey should retire on the podium.
Todd in, Dylan out, Marvin out, I would say in and get engaged at the same time. Yes, double, I'd like to announce that I am retiring. I'm also announcing that I would like to marry Taylor Swift gets a ring and gives a ring. Yes, yes, yes, Marvin.
But that would be a major upstage.
Would that be similar to somebody coming to your wedding and saying, hey, I got engaged.
I think that would be the headline over the Chiefs winning a thurstrate Super Bowl.
All right, then maybe we do it at the victory parade where he gets down off the float and then walks over and gets down on one knee and then gets engaged and then Todd gets a wedding cake to the face. If they getting that, of course you are all right, Paul, Okay.
If you had to move to a city in America based off the food scene alone, new Orleans is the.
Pick, Todd in deal, No Orleans is great, but out Marvin in I'm out, PAULI.
It's unbelievable.
Yes, I'm in.
Oh yeah, New York's pretty good.
I's gonna say, New York.
You can find whatever you want in New Orleans, all right? Final Hour in the way, more phone calls coming up. Seaton's gonna call in. I think he's on the road. Is he in South Carolina? Headed to who knows where he is? He'll join us as well. We'll hear from Bill Belichick as well. Final Hour on this Thursday. After this
