Weekday mornings, 6 to 9am Eastern Time, 3 to 6am Pacific Time. Come on, var. But we are. Oh, I'm awake. Okay. Don't worry about it. We got it open today. Yeah, we. This is improvement. Yes. This is. Yeah. We're doing it all live here from the tirerack.com studios. Tirerack.com the official expert and retailer of the Dan Patrick show. Go to tire rack.com dan try the tire decision guide and see the full line of Yokohama tires special offers free road hazard protection. What type of tire? Yokohama tires special offers free road hazard protection and mobile tire installation. Tire rack.com the way tire buying should be. Hell yeah. On a Friday. I'm talking about. I got my mouth surgery yesterday. Yep. Yeah, it was emergency surgery. Got that. Wait, what? My tooth is the. The tooth with the iron mask. You know, like, like the movie. They put iron in there. They said, dude, like, what the frick? Like, we didn't make it to the crown. You destroyed your dentist a surfer? No, no, no. It was like, bro. It's like, bro, you. You. You. You jacked your tooth totally out while we were waiting for your permanent crown. Now we got to order you a whole. An entirely different crown for your tooth. You know, that isn't how he talks, though. He's super cool, dude. But he had to really do some work because I fractured my tooth. This is gonna come off as sound like a D bag, but I'm gonna go ahead and do it. I'm very ignorant when it comes to teeth, despite the fact that my father in law is an orthodontist. But I never ask questions about it. Okay. Mostly because I really don't care. But. But like, what is. So a crown's for what, like if you have a cavity or something. Yeah, I had to get a root canal. Yeah. So they had. So you get a root canal when. What again, A cavity. You have to have a tooth removed or something? No, they don't remove it. Drill to the. The nerve and then like, whatever. Yeah, to the root. Yeah. And then they like kill the nerve and then they let it heal and then they put a crown on and it's like nothing ever happened, you know? But I had a temporary crown on because I'm getting a goal and I hear maybe that's the. The moral of the story. I'm. I was. I'm getting a matching goal a go. Yeah. But it's in the back. It's in the back. Why would. Okay, hold on. This is great. We gotta break this down. Why would you want to get a gold tooth then that no one's gonna see back? Cuz I can. Right? But no one's ever gonna see it. So what are you, like, really? They might. I smile pretty big. Q and I got an I already have one gold. Have you ever saw a gold tooth in my, in my mouth, like when I smile, you know, Smile enough around. Shut up. I, I, Some people might see it. You know, I almost cursed on how you almost made me curse. Look deep back in there, huh? That's correct. That's correct. So if you see it, if you see it is, you know, it's because he was really in my mouth. But I'm gonna get another one on the opposite side, a matching one. And I was waiting on it. And while I was waiting on it, I guess I was, I was sitting around, I was, I, I know I'm not supposed to chew nuts, but I was boss. I was chewing on nut clusters. And then I fractured my tooth. Okay, but which one can't be a cashew? Cashews too. It was, it was a cluster. So it was almonds. It was cashews. It was sunflower seeds. And it's like put together in like honey or is it a kind bar? Was it like, kind of like that? Yeah, but they're like, they're keto. They're keto, though, so they're pretty good. But. Yes, yes. And I was just sitting there and I was chewing and I bit and I felt it boom. Like I fractured a two. I didn't even know you could fracture too. I just thought you break it. Which a fracture is a break, I guess, but I mean, I don't know. I never heard that terminology used. And it scared me. You know, I was sitting there and they were like, man, they were going through the language of it and taking the, the X rays and then they were like, yeah, da da, da. Such and such of the bicuspis. And this is. That one is fractured. I was like, fractured? Oh my gosh. Ridiculous. Yeah. My dentist told me, he said, listen, nuts will get you every time. He said, relax. He said that a trick is you can take almonds and you soak them in water to make them soft. If you want to, if you still want to get your, your almond fix, this is the part of conversation we have to jump in and say, let's get the sports ye. Yeah, let's do it. Come on, man. We were good until we started getting the nuts conversation. Too much nuts is not good for you. All right, well, you know, some would say that the jets organization is nuts. Some would say they've been nuts for quite some time. The reason sometimes I feel like a nut. And. And apparently it was a nutty situation and departure for Aaron Rodgers, who spoke yesterday on the Pat McAfee show starring A.J. hawk and Rogers. Dec decided to air out the New York jets and describe what the final meeting was with Aaron Glenn, with Darren Moogie, this entire situation debacle, if you will. Here was Rogers breaking it all down. I figured that when I flew across country on my own dime that there was going to be a conversation. And 20 seconds in he goes, I mean, literally, I'm talking to the GM about something. And he leans to the edge of his sheet and goes, so do you want to play football? I was like, yeah, I'm interested. And he said, we're going a different direction at quarterback. And I was kind of shocked. Now, not shocked because I didn't think that was a possibility. Listen, of course they want to move on. That's totally fine. But shocked because I just flew across country. You could have told me this on the phone. So I said, huh? And he goes, we just want to know how you want it released, the messaging. And I said, why? And then he said, I don't want to be up in front of the room saying something and have guys looking back at you. Interesting. And I said, what does that even mean? Are you assuming that I would be in the back of the room during a team meeting undermining what you're saying? I said, you don't know me. And he said, you don't know me. And then I said, exactly. Which is why I flew across the country to have a face to face meeting with you to talk about my experience with the Jets. What I thought was going to be a couple hour meeting turned into like a 15 minute meeting and I walked out of there. So there's your, your final moments with the New York jets and was that a beef? You don't know me, homie. Look, man, you don't know me, homie. This has to look terrible for the jets, right? Oh, gosh, yeah, absolutely. I mean, because here's the reality of it. If, if that's how you're willing to deal with a guy who's gonna be a First Battle hall of Famer, how do you feel like they're going to deal with guys who are on the back end of the roster? I mean, as a player. And I'm not saying that like all players like Aaron Rodgers or all players even relate to Aaron Rodgers, he seems to have a good rapport with his teammates. But you sit there and go, this is how this, this is how the team's handling this guy. Like he. Now mind you, he probably flew private like his on his own dime. It's not like that. It's not like the team's flying him there on his jet to get there, which is a pretty penny if you're coming from California to New York and back, like I would estimate. I don't know, someone who's in the industry would probably correct me, tell me I'm wrong. Minimum $80,000, $100,000 just for that trip there and back, minimum. That's probably what he spent doing it. And to not at least want to hear from a guy who's won a Super bowl, won what, four MVPs. Seems to have a different perspective on the league, but could give some insight to Aaron Glenn, who's stepping into his first opportunity as a head coach and doesn't know this organization, regardless of what anyone wants to say, doesn't know it as well as Aaron Rodgers. He's been there the last two years. He's got a much better feel for the pulse of Woody Johnson, how things have operated the past couple of years than Aaron Glenn does. And he didn't want to take the time just to pick his brain and talk to him, even if he didn't want to see him as his quarterback. Right. It kind of goes back to like the Bill Belichick not getting more interviews, like teams didn't even want to take the opportunity when you had a legitimate chance to take the opportunity to pick one of the greatest football minds mind in an interview. Even if you don't want to hire him, just bring him into, at least interview him and see what you can get from him, right. What knowledge he'll be willing to give up and maybe pour into your organization, your leaders, whoever. And so for Aaron Glenn, you didn't even want to do that. You're just going to jump right to the point. And I guess I understand to a degree he doesn't want to waste his time, but then to Aaron Rodgers point, just give him a phone call. Like if it's over like that, just give him a phone call. This makes it look like the jets and Lavar has said it all along. Oh, our dysfunction. But also now it looks even more like a clown show. And it, it feels like you've got A head coach who, yeah, maybe he has an idea of what he's trying to build, but it almost makes it look even worse to how this year is going to go with Justin Fields as their quarterback. If things don't go well, it's a disaster because you had a guy you could have brought back who's a first ballot hall of Famer. And so if he goes somewhere else and plays well and that team's in the hunt, or if the. And even then, like, forget that, that might be even separate from if the jets just fall apart, become a dumpster fire, he could be a one and done. Like, these are some of the things that start to come out in the media where it puts more and more pressure and makes everyone question is this guy? Maybe there's a reason why it took him so long to become a head coach. He's been a great decoordinator, he's had a great reputation. But then you watch how he handles this instance, this situation. I don't know, man. Dysfunction, clown show, whatever you want to call it, that's the right back where the jets are again. I have a theory and, and the theory is he is acting off of, off of the feelings of ownership. And I've seen this happen before. I've been, I've been a party to Joe Gibbs falling victim to doing the same exact thing. I was the leader of a team, I was the face of, of a, of a team, of a franchise, of the town. And due to a vendetta that was, apparently, I wasn't really even aware of it, but due to a vendetta of the owner and how he turned his feelings on, how he felt about me, he tasked someone else because he's a coward. He tasked someone else to be his henchmen and Joe Gibbs went for it. He took the cheese and his coward ass did the same thing, like hid behind, you know, things he shouldn't have hit behind. And the conversations that he and I were having, which was interesting because if media was where it was at right now, I'd have probably did the same thing that Aaron Rodgers did and had the conversation about it. And we'd probably be having the same conversation about how you have a dysfunctional organization. I tend to believe that Aaron Glenn and handling Aaron Rodgers was totally doing it with the influence of what he had already had got from and communicated with Woody Johnson in terms of how they made him feel in terms of what they think took place with Aaron Rodgers in New York. And Aaron Glenn was, was executing what his feelings were towards the situation with Aaron Rodgers and did that under the influences and the pretenses of what was fed to him once he came to the New York jets as their head coach. So in a way, while we'll say, okay, maybe as a head coach, you don't allow for an owner or. Or corporate to dictate how you handle a situation, keep your emotions out of it. You are the head coach of this team. You have to manage the relationships with these players differently. But that could be also tongue in cheek because we all know this is the man that hires you. This could be the man that fires you, whether it's a year, whether it's two years, whatever it may be. And he's already showing signs of trying to pacify dysfunction. That's my theory. I don't think that Aaron Glenn would have wanted to take the stance he took with Aaron Rodgers. In fact, knowing Aaron Glenn, I would assume he would want the best players on his team. I don't think he had a choice. I don't think he had a choice in the matter of keeping Aaron Rodgers on that roster based upon the feelings that were going towards Aaron Rodgers. And Aaron Glenn was tasked to make that one of the first things that he handled once taking the job. So then Woody Johnson is still meddling in decisions. Got it. I think the influence, I think the only way you take. Cuz let's be clear as former players, whether you're a coach now, whether we just, you know, whatever you're doing in your life, when we see one another, we greet each other a certain type of way. You're not going to like, come out. You're not going to come out of gay. Hold on. Yeah, go ahead. And what type of way is that? Dap up. It's. It's different than anybody else. Right? That's right. You know what I'm saying? Hey, I come in, I kind of come. Yo, what's up, man? We greet each other very differently than everybody else because everybody else to us aren't us. That. I mean, that's if, if that. If I'm letting the fan base and people in on the secrets, I'm sorry to do that. It's not that we think any less of you. It's just that we don't think of you the same way we think of one another. That's all. It's just Me too. Plus, that's what I was gonna say. Sorry. If you could give me the difference between you and Jonas kind of seeing each other. Yeah. Somewhere on the street or whatever, then you and I seeing one another. All right. If I saw a Jonas, I'd be like, what's up, buddy? What's going on, bro? Yeah, if I saw you, I'd be like, cute. What up, playboy? What up, doe? What's up? Damn. How your body feeling, kids? Is good? Everything good? Yeah. You cool? All right, man. See, I was gonna, you know, and you always say, it's good to see you, like three, four times when you see somebody that played. Yeah, that's right. You'd be like, man, it's good to see you, bro. Man, so good to see you. See, I was going to point out, like, a racial component, but you really buckled my knees when you went to Brady on that. Yeah, there's no real quick. Real quick, which is great, Jonas, that it exceeds race. Do you see me on the street? How do we greet each other? Say again? Oh, how would that be on the street? Hey, hey, Brady Little Top Gun. Hey, up top, Jonas. What's up, hoss? That's football. That's football talk, though. You can't use haas. Yeah, but that's, you know, that's like, maybe high school, though. Yeah, we're real trying hard to be a meathead. Yeah. Yeah. That is. Sometimes cats, like you try to overcompensate because you want to be greeted that way. But it's the same thing. If I see Lavar. If I see Lavar, I'd be like, sub Dog. Oh, no. Oh, God. Don't do totally that. Do it a kego. Kego. You know, it's a weird. Every time I see Jonas and every time we walk together from, like, the set during Radio Road, during Super Bowl, I always am like, man, if I had an oil can, I would try to, like, just inject some oil into Jonas's joints just to make him look a little smoother, man. It's just. Please. It's very rigid. It's a very rigid stiff. That's the vampire joints. That's not true. There is zero. There's like zero skip, zero limp, zero anything. Because he get to where we go. He's partially floating. Yeah, no swag. I'm floating. All I've got in my body is blood. And it ain't mine. You don't know the vampire life. You don't know what we go through. You know, here's. Here's what's so funny about the Rogers discussion. So I'm seeing yesterday, people are, you know, laying in like, oh, God, of course it's everybody else's fault. And he's this and that. And he's pointing fingers and it's like, I just, I just want to say we're not talking about like a high functioning, well respected history of great decisions and great moves and great mo. We're talking about the Jets. Yes. It's plausible that the meeting happened exactly how it happened. It's not like Rogers has been known to just lie. Okay. People can put, oh, well, you know, the, the, the COVID stuff and all. No, you just. He found a loophole in his messaging and that's why people are still bitter about it. But it's not like we're talking about, oh, well, this is just, this is an organization that is pristine and all they know is success, him saying it about them. So you're the one guy who's got a problem with the way that they handle things there. No, we've seen this for decades. It's the same story for decades. Insert quarterback. It's a disaster. Drafted, signed, head coach. What? So, like, when I hear the pushback on things, he's. Look, is he a little bit arrogant? Sure. Is he a little bit aloof at times? Does he want to control the messaging? Does he like the attention but claim that he does? Probably. But it still doesn't admonish the jets from being pulp. Palpable in this whole situation. Whatever. I'm trying to say palpable in this whole situation. Hold on. That they're a disaster and they've been a disaster for years. And we've brought this point up before on our show when the first couple of moves and couple of signs are, hey, we don't want any part of this. Were Bill Belichick and Bill Parcell saying, no, we're good here. And that was before we had any sort of intel or information on what Woody Johnson's era with the jets was going to be. That should have been the indicator. Okay, maybe there's something wrong here. So the, the pushback on Rogers I don't get. Because it's the Jets. They've done this for decades and he didn't even play that bad. Down, down the switch. It's, it's, it's. To me, he's better than Justin Fields last year. He's better than Justin Fields, period. Can also point out, I mean, this one instance. Don't point out though, what. Where I think a lot of people have dug their feet in and it's over. As far as how they feel. It's the whole vaccination thing. Yes. That was such a polarizing issue that there's a lot of people who. Maybe they're football fans, maybe they're not, but whatever. We talk about politics, religion, things like that, and. And obviously the whole vaccination deal, it was politicized. That's why it became so polarizing. But the way he messaged the immunized comment and how people took that and how this. People drew a line in the sand back then, and they've never been willing to concede on any of that. I mean, this is like, outside of a sports conversation. Like, the people who believed in the people who didn't, they drew a line and they're not ever willing to cross that. Like, no one's even, like, even right now, regardless of whatever report comes out, whatever side you were on, they're sticking to that. They're like, there's no way you're going to convince them otherwise. And unfortunately, like, he put himself. Rightfully so he put himself in the middle of that with how he handled that. And I think that actually might be the most polarizing thing that has still followed him to this day, outside of even how he's handled things, with being so open and honest about, you know, things in Green Bay and. And how the drafting of Jordan Love went, or even his time with Brett Favre and everything else up there and now with the New York jets and everything else in his personal life that's become public, which with the documentary. So, to me, as much as he is very unique as an athlete or as a quarterback in the NFL, there's also an element of, like, that singular thing, to me, created the biggest divide for the people who are either for Aaron Rodgers or like Aaron Rodgers or against him. It's kind of crazy when you think about it. And people can say that's not true, but you're lying. Like, I see it to this day, there's people who still have, like, ruined friendships, aren't as close with their family. There's all sorts of issues from that singular moment in time. Yeah. With the way people kind of drew a line in the sand and they're not ever willing to cross it, and they're not ever willing to go back on whatever happened back then. He never breaks character either, though. That's. I think that that really irritates a lot of people. And if I were a betting man, I would say the way Aaron Rodgers conducts himself is an irritant to people like a Woody Johnson. He does not break character. Oh, yeah. And he answers questions especially almost as if it's like a riddle. You know what I mean? Like, he doesn't break character. He stays in that same. Wow. You know, and, and, and, and all I want to say was. Yep. I can't. You could have did this by the phone. Well, you don't know me. Well, you're right. And, and that's why I can't like the witty comments, the, the comebacks. It's not, it doesn't help. It doesn't help. Like, show me some emotion. Like, I'll beat your ass. Like what? Oh, whoa. Aaron Rodgers said what? Yeah, I mean, like, it is, it is funny how we he don't break character. It is funny how we pick and choose, you know, who we're still going to punish for things that were done and said five years ago during COVID A long time ago. Yeah, well, Woody Johnson ain't thinking about the immunization. He's thinking about how Aaron Rodgers tried to ruin him. He tried to ruin me. No, he's got hey, Aaron, you better get him. Someone say he's got a vested interest in somebody get him. I can't do it myself. You guys handle it? Yeah, I handle this. It is the Dan Patrick show here on FOX Sports Radio.

It was just me Naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body parts that looked exactly like my own. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York. But reporting the series took us through the darkest corners of the Internet and to the front lines of a global battle against deepfake pornography. This should be illegal, but what is this? This is a story about a technology that's moving faster than the law and about vigilantes trying to stem the tide. Hi, I'm Hyde. I'm Margie Murphy. And I'm Olivia Carville. This is Levittown, a new podcast from iHeart podcasts Bloomberg and Kaleidoscope. Listen to Levittown on Bloomberg's Big Take podcast. Find it on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Israel Gutierrez and I'm hosting a new podcast, Dub Dynasty. The story of how the Golden State warriors have dominated the NBA for over a decade. The Golden State warriors once again are enter NBA champions. From the building of the core that included Klay Thompson and Draymond Green to one of the boldest coaching decisions in the history of the sport. I just felt like the biggest thing was to earn the trust of the players and let the players know that we were here to try to help them take the next step, not tear anything down. Today, the warriors dynasty remains alive in large part because of a scrawny 6 foot 2 hooper who everyone seems to love for what Steph has done for the game. He's certainly on that like Mount Rushmore for guys that have changed it. Come revisit this magical warriors ride. This is Dub Dynasty. The Dubs dynasty is still very much alive. Listen to Dub Dynasty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We ready to fight? I'm ready to fight. Is that. I thought it was. Oh, this is fighting worse. Okay, I'll put the hammer back. Hi, I'm George M. Johnson, a best selling author with the second most banned book in America. Now more than ever, we need to use our voices to fight back. And that's what we are doing on fighting Words. We're not gonna let anyone silence us. That's the reason why they're banning books like yours, George. That's the reason why they're trying to stop the teaching of black history, queer history, any history that challenges the whitewashed norm or put us in a box. Black people never ever depended on the so called mainstream to support us. That's why we are great. We are the greatest culture makers in world history.

LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox in for Dan and the guys coming up here in a little over 15 minutes from now. They are calling out the fakes. There are frauds in the world of football. They will officially be called out and punished starting this upcoming season. We'll get into that for you here on fsr. Hey, by the way, do we have an update on the fan that was hit by a golf ball by Billy Horschel yesterday at that tournament, whatever the tournament was. Cause that looked grotesque. Did you see that Brady? The guy shin who took a golf ball while in the gallery and horse not I'm always a big fan though. I'm always a big fan of those who are sticking it out, able to kind of tough it out through it and basically providing a backboard for professional golfers just in case they sprayed a little bit outside of the fairway. There's always a nice fan in there to help bounce it right back in or at least stop it right there in the rough. Yeah, he. So this guy got a, a golf ball straight in the shin and horsel went over. I think he outlined it and then autographed his leg afterwards and it is revolting. So hopefully, hopefully that that gentleman is okay and can continue on enjoying the tournament, you know, at the gallery there. Whatever, whatever tournament that was not name the Masters. Now that being said, I want to let you know we are brought to you by Mako. Most cars on the road could use a little tlc. At ma we bring your car back to life with affordable paint jobs and light collision repairs. Get a free estimate today. Oh, better get Mako. The Cleveland Browns are holding the number two pick in the draft. The betting odds have indicated that Travis Hunter will be the pick at number two. Depending on if the Browns are picking there or not, who knows. But that is the expectation that as far as the gambling odds go that it could be the Browns taking Travis Hunter. And so the GM of the Cleveland Browns, Andrew Barry, spoke about Travis Hunter's skill set and also compared him to one of the all time great talents that we are currently watching. That number two pick is. That's kind of how he's viewed is a guy that can do both versus just is one side or the other. No, I don't, I don't see it that way. I think It's. And I'm going to use a crossboard now. It's a little bit like Ohtani, right? Where, you know, when he's playing one side, he's. He's an outstanding player. If he's. If he's a pitcher, he's a hitter. He's an outstanding player. You obviously get a unicorn if you use them both ways. All right, so he's getting the Otani comp. He hasn't played in the. That's not a good. That's not a good comp. Why not? Well, because. What is Ohtani wise. What is Ohtani play when he's not being a pitcher? Well done. Yeah, well, that was more so his. I mean, he doesn't need a trooper, does he? Well, allegedly. Oh, that's like that. That's that sneaky shot. They're like, why do you go down? How do you. Oh, it's right there. Brady with an undercut. You know, just a little something a little under underneath. I don't know. All I'll say is I. He. His normal position is not pitcher. Correct. Doesn't he pick like shortstop or something? No. Ohtani. Yeah. Shohei. No, he's a dh. Dh. Pitcher. You know, he's not a pitcher all the time. Well, he's not a pitcher right now. Don't be miss like leading. He's not a pitcher all the time. So here's why, you know, if you want to say it's not a fair comp, first of all, because Travis Hunter hasn't done anything in the league yet. But also, don't. Don't do that. Well, no, I'm just saying. No, I'm just saying he hasn't. We have no idea if it's going to work out. Well, that's very true. And if it's the Browns, who knows? Well, that's even more true. But Ohtani, he's working to come back. He is hoping to pitch at some point this year and he's a great hitter. And so the baseball players play both sides. They NBA or, you know, basketball. They play both sides. Right. Like you play offense and you play defense. We've never seen anybody be able to pitch and hit the way Ohtani has. Yeah, but they go both ways. They. They do both. Well, no, I'm not seeing. That's. You know what I mean? Like football. Yeah. It's not required for you to do both in. In football. So that's why I say it's a poor comp. But I mean, I get what you're saying. You're basically saying like, like for example, if we're counting pitching as defense, right? In baseball, which it would be correct. It'd be like him playing pitcher and catcher, like, and then Travis Hunter playing cornerback and dn, Right? Like that's in essence what you're saying. I'm saying you play quarterback, DN and also wide receiver, quarterback, dn, wide retang. I mean that, I mean that's the equivalent of Shohei. Yeah, but I, I'm saying I, I just think that with, with Travis Hunter you're getting a unicorn. If he can play at a high level and play here. Here's the thing, right? If you play him at cornerback and he can become an All Pro, that is phenomenal in itself, period. If he plays receiver and can become an all Pro, that is phenomenal, period. You know, some of the greatest players who have ever played this game only have like, like a handful or less than a handful of first team all pro bits, right? So if you're good enough to be an all pro player and on your, on that list at your position, that's phenomenal. Now if you have that type of talent, are we, are we adjusting our, our scope? Are we saying, okay, he should be an all pro corner but just be a serviceable receiver or should he be an all pro receiver and be a serviceable cornerback? Like what are we looking? How are we. Because again the conversation that we had the other day when we were debating and I know you said his, you know, his stats, we looked up his stat lines or you looked up his stat lines. Q And made the point because I think TMAC is, is, is a guy that is special at the receiver's position. But the point is, is that if you believe that he can be an elite play making receiver where he goes number two overall in the draft, are you expecting him to do that at both positions or is it just one? Because I think that plays a major part in all of this. Is it, is it both ways or is it just one and serviceable to the other? Well, here's, here's what I'd say is right, if we look at the draft and people always say, oh, you get a 50 chance of getting a hit on a guy in the first round, right? People will say that, well, technically if he plays two positions, gotta get 50 chance at either one. And so I think the position versatility or flexibility is where the value comes in is if you think he can be like he was in college, a top wide receiver and or a top cornerback, then it increases your odds of hitting on that pick, of getting a guy that is maybe a gold jacket guy at one of those two positions. Now, if it ends up being both, great. But from just a pure odds betting standpoint, if you're a betting man and you're saying, I can increase my odds of this player being an impactful player, starter, Pro Bowler, All Pro hall of Famer at one of two positions, it takes some pressure off of you, right? I mean, you could play him at wide receiver if things aren't going as well, put him at cornerback. Like, I, I think I have a hard time believing that one of those two isn't going to stick for him, at least based on what I've seen on tape. Again, I keep going back to, I think his natural fit for me. And, and this is just more of watching him play both and, and look, don't get me wrong, he's got natural instincts as far as a ball catcher, great hand, eye coordination, suddenness and his route run. But he's still very raw with his route running. And that's something that takes time to develop, whether you're Travis Hunter or any other wide receiver. But as a cornerback, he just has a feel for the game and how he sees the game and how he sees the quarterback and how, you know, and different route combinations. I just, I feel like that position comes to him more naturally. And, and so all I'm saying is if you could take someone who improves your chances of it being a hit as a general manager that goes on your resume to showcase to the owner and everyone else that, hey, this is, you know, this was a hit, this was another, another hit, another one that worked out for me as a general manager, you're going to take that guy. So I don't know which he'll end up playing. Maybe the Browns will do both. Like, maybe that'll be part of the intrigue for 2025. If this is a team that's still at the bottom of the AFC north, because the quarterback situation, at least you're selling one of the most dynamic players we've ever seen potentially in his rookie season, trying to play both ways. There's something to be said for that. If he's listed as both ways, how are you going to pay him? You don't have to worry about that for at least three more years. But, but how do you. Do you pay him for both positions? Because that's a roster. If he's, if he's a full time receiver and he's a full time corner, your cba, the draft, the Rookie draft salary pool slotted. So it doesn't really have anything to do with, you know, now, now where he'll get a bonus is his play snap percentage. So remember, because even what he's paid as a rookie, he'll get a huge bonus at the end of the year if he's playing both ways because of the amount of snaps he's playing on both sides of the ball. So that's where he'll be able to cash in on that. And that's where the, you know, NFLP has done a good job in trying to reward guys who aren't being paid as much and especially as rookies, but they're playing a lot. So it's at least covered a portion of the gap. And I understand what you're saying, but that's three years away. That's, that's the first opportunity that man became an all Pro on both sides of the ball as a receiver and as a corner, which we've never seen that happen ever before. How are you going to pay that man? Let me ask you, because I think it's along the lines of what you were thinking, Lavar. But, but I'll kind of throw it at you guys. If he was just a wide receiver, is he in consideration for the number two pick? No. No. If he was just. There's no receiver being considered. Right. So if he was just a corner, would be. Would he be in consideration for the number two pick? No. That's a good way of putting. Because I would say yes. No, I would say yes in that regard. I say he's not a top five pick at corner. I think he's more like Will Howard. Is it Will Howard? Who? The corner out of Michelle Johnson. Will Johnson. Will Johnson. I say he's more like that. He's more in that, that category. Then again, now, I take that back. I take, I take that back. I take that back because I'm thinking about Champ Bailey or he's on the level of, I mean, actually he, yeah, he's on the level of a Charles Woodson more so than even a Champ Bailey. I mean, he's in that category of players. So. Yes, yes, he would be. So I, I'll put it this way. I refresh. I think, I think he's the best cornerback and I do think in a class that, by the way, it's not a great wide receiver class. So between tmac, Luther Burden, you know, Matthew Golden's getting a lot of buzz in Texas because he's so fast. You know, I don't know that you, you go and watch the tape and say, like, can he come in and be immediate number one? And that's what you're usually drafting him to be. So it's kind of interesting. But I think he's one of the best, if not the best in the wide receiver class, too. So it all depends on how you view them. But I think as a cornerback, without a doubt as a wide receiver, it might be partially due to the wide receiver, though, too. Yeah, he's a. Top. He's a top five pick. He's a top five pick at cornerback. I'm not going to go. I'm not going to go that far. At receiver, cornerback. He's top five pick. Yeah, yeah. It's. Well, looks like he'll be in Cleveland. So it would behoove them to try and maximize his abilities, like if you've got that sort of talent. Would it? Yeah. All right. Otherwise, I mean, you know, you might lose him sooner. All right.

This draft report segment is presented by Miller Lite. All right, Fritzi, the draft is coming up in a couple of weeks. A lot of big news happening. And you know what? I know the quarterback is super important, but as of late, especially when you're trying to win championships, defensive linemen have been a big part of those championship wins. Am I right? Heck, yeah. We're going to start right at the top. Abdul Carter, stud. He seems to be the biggest prospect going into the draft on the Defensive side of the ball. Where do you see him going? I could see him going as early as two. I know it's always been about quarterbacks in recent years, but I would not be shocked if he goes with the, with the number two pick. I can't imagine him slipping much more than that. What uniform can you picture him wearing in the coming months? You know what? I like him going to New York. You do? I do. Because of the old days of Lawrence, Taylor and Banks and all those great defensive players. Oh, absolutely. Carson even going back to Justin Tuck. Michael Strahan. There you go. O.C. yo. Minora. You have your franchise defensive lineman for the next 10 years, hopefully. And so I think Abdul Carter is the right move, but who knows? Another guy I'm thinking about is Kenneth Grant out of Michigan. I love him on the interior look. He could be in that. Brandon Graham, Chris Jones, Aaron Donald, Jalen Carter. Look at the lineage of great D linemen that have made big impacts on championship teams. He's ranked right there among the top guys on the, on the list there. You got Derek Harmon at Oregon, you got Walter Nolan, ole Miss, and T.J. sanders, S.C. but Kenneth Grant is right there. Yeah, I like him. I like Darius Alexander. I saw some highlights of him. He's out Toledo. Yes, he's out of a small school, but those guys, almost like a Khalil Mack, guys that come out of nowhere, quote, unquote, smaller school, hesitation. You think with some of the GMs and front office staff, they're like, yeah, but he played at Toledo. You know, anybody can be great at a smaller school. What happens, you know, if you're, when you're getting to the pros or if he would have played in a bigger conference, maybe he wouldn't have looked as good. I'm with you completely. Hopefully these guys come out and they tear it up and prove everybody wrong. Absolutely. Especially a guy like him who's going to have a chip on his shoulder regardless of where he's drafted. Let's root for Darius Alexander. I'm in. Miller Lite is the perfect pick for draft season. It's the taste. You can depend on a great beer. Trusted by beer lovers for 50 years.

Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body parts that looked exactly like my own. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York. But reporting the series took us through the darkest corners of the Internet and to the front lines of a global battle against deepfake pornography. This should be illegal, but what is this? This is a story about a technology that's moving faster than the law and about vigilantes trying to stem the tide. I'm Margie Murphy.

The story of how the Golden State warriors have dominated the NBA for over a decade. The Golden State warriors once again are NBA champions. From the building of the corps that included Klay Thompson and Draymond Green to one of the boldest coaching decisions in the history of the sport. I just felt like the biggest thing was to earn the trust of the players and let the players know that we were here to try to help them take the next step, not tear anything down. Today, the warriors dynasty remains alive in large part because of a scrawny 6 foot 2 hooper who everyone seems to love for what Steph has done for the game. He's certainly on that, like Mount Rushmore for guys that have changed it. Come revisit this magical warriors ride. This is Dove Dynasty. The Dubs dynasty is still very much alive.

Some of them are. I can't believe you would just dismiss my, my caring like you are ridiculous, bro. If you could have heard what this man just said during the break. You. I can't, I can't even. Brady, I'll text you the royalty that he was talking about that, that Travis Hunter would be collecting on. It's, it's ridiculous what he said, bro. I know this. Yours is not ridiculous. What?

Be sure to also follow rate and review it again. Just search Dan Patrick or two pros wherever you get your podcast. You'll see today's show posted right after we get off the air. Sometimes you can't get to everything in the world of sports or entertainment. Good thing the guys are here to bring you in case you missed it. And for that we turn it over to our executive producer, Lee Da Lapp. Good morning everybody. Good morning, Jonas. Good morning, Lavar. Good morning, Brady. Guys, in case you missed this, the NCAA is finally cracking down the plane rules oversight panel has decided that they're in stating a new rule that, that states that teams will be charged with a timeout if a player requires medical attention after the ball is spotted by an official. If they don't have any remaining, they will be hit with a five yard delay of game penalty. This is of course to wane off players feigning injuries at the end of games. How's this going to be determined? Like are they going to just go over and like, oh, you say your calf hurts. Yeah, because they're going to. They're going to. So here's the deal. If the ball is marked, all right, because what happens is usually in a hurry up scenario or when the team's playing up tempo, somebody will cramp or something. Some. Well, and what they'll do is though they, they move the ball on field and they get the call in from the sideline, right. Like they're, they're trying to slow down the offense so the defense will like Make a call from the sideline and that's when they'll then see a player go down. Right? That's what they're trying to eliminate. You know, most guys, when they get hurt, they're probably going to be down on the ground, you know, having an issue or they might, you know, go back down and kind of take a knee rather quickly. What they're trying to eliminate is the stuff where a guy, you know, gets up, he's running back, looks over and everyone sees it on tv, but maybe not on the field or people are at the game, then the guy goes down and he's acting like he has an injury. So that's why they're trying to say, look, once the medical people come out, out, that dude's got to come off and they're charged a timeout and all this stuff. So I like the rule. I will be curious to see how they implement it though. The delay, the delayed reaction is, is always well done. They're gonna be aware of this. The coaches is going to be. Because the coaches be in on this, on, on this as well. Just so you know. So they, there's actually time where you practice these reps. They're gonna, they're gonna get ahead of the rule. Rule. Like it's not, it's going to be predetermined. And predetermined has always been a part of it anyway. Every once in a while you get a dude that's too tired to get his fat ass up and get going again. And so he'll, he'll fake the worm and hit the ground. But for the most part, if you're trying to slow it down or whatever it may be, they'll say this is a two minute like situation here. Or they're in a two minute style offense, this, that and the other. They'll signal like, you'll have a signal to know that somebody needs to go down and you'll know who the designated person is. So it'll be interesting to see if the rule can, can govern it. I mean, you trying to doubt the validity of a charley horse in this day and age? Again, how do you know if it's real or not? Like, it's almost like, okay, well he's got to stay out, you know, the rest of this series or something like that. In fact, the American Football Coaches association did try to implement, implement that, that a player would have to sit out the entire drive. That makes more sense. That's too bad. That makes more sense. And they say they'll come down with supplementary Discipline. If once. If they review it and they figure out that it's fake, well, there you go. How much you get better electrolytes. This won't happen, T. I blame them. I blame the training staff. They should be held accountable. Next guy that gets a cramp that they call fake, that trainer should be fined and suspended for the next two games. Dang. All right, well, what else is really. Well, guys, how about this? I don't have time to play it for you, but Shane Gillis talked about his time at the Masters. Said he was really trying to get into it, but he couldn't see a damn thing. He replaced that. I was Shane on this one. Yeah. I would have liked hanging out with Shane, though. We could have talked about beers. Yeah, yeah. We could have talked about other things while we weren't seeing anything. Couple beers. Yeah. Sometimes nothing to see is a good thing. A great lawn is like a great sports team.
