You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. Welcome to the program. It's hour one on this Tuesday. A lot to look back upon and look ahead to. The gang's all here ready to go. Our Fab five, Fritzi Seaton, Marv Poly, yours truly, the back room guys and we'll dive into a couple of topics here. Your phone calls are always welcome. Operator Tyler sitting by 8773 DP show stat of the day as always brought to you by Panini America. They are the official trading cards of the DP show first hour brought to you by Mako Get a makeover. Dense faded paint. They got you covered. Get a free estimate today. Oh, better get Mako Play of the day Poll question Stat of the day. All of that forthcoming we know better than to overreact to preseason football, but early glimpses of the Bengals, if there's any indication, it looks like some previous issues are still present, present and accounted for. And that's a problem. Offensive line doesn't inspire much confidence. The defense, we know about that with Trey Hendrickson, even with him, they're not a great defense. So the flaws define the team and they define their ceiling. I know they made it to a Super Bowl a few years ago, but these flaws bleed into the regular season and now you could have a ripple effect. And I've said before, you sign up your best receivers, Joe Burrow signed up and you kind of have a great team. But kind of have a great team means you're always going to be on that border of 8, 9 or 9 and 8. And that's not any way to exist in the NFL. You got a Super bowl caliber quarterback, you got playmakers. But Cincinnati will stay vulnerable because offensive line and certainly without Trey Hendrickson, I don't know if he's going to be traded. Felt like maybe there's an initiative by some members of the media to speculate on what they want now and maybe it's a first round draft pick and maybe it's a defensive player. I still go back to if you knew you weren't going to sign him to this kind of money, then why didn't you trade him prior to the draft because you could have gotten more for Trey Hendrickson. Now you got to stand off and Cincinnati is either 8, 9, or 9 and 8, it feels like. And holding on for dear life. But watching last night with the commanders, the commanders without Terry McLaurin, and I think they have a ceiling as well. You got to have that go to Guy. When all else fails, game on the line, I can go. That guy is going to have my back. Look at all of these quarterbacks, wide receiver combinations, whatever. You know, it goes wrong, I can go there. You know, Brady always had that. Whether it was Gronk or Edelman. You can go down the list of great quarterbacks. You know, Montana always had Jerry Rice. That's what you need. And I think Terry McLaurin needing that go to guy who all he does is show up and play and perform. But he wants to get paid $30 million. He wants to get paid with the other receivers. He's not Justin Jefferson and knows that, but he's every bit Brandon Iuk. And he probably says, why can't I get that? I'd rather have him than DK Metcalf. But the Steelers, you know, probably overpaid for. So you start to look at these now. A couple of weeks away from actually playing football now it becomes a real issue. I still think Micah Parsons is going to get done. I don't think they're going to trade him. I think they'd be crazy to trade him. I think it's. Once again, Jerry is going to let this play out, get the publicity, swoop in and say, look what I did. Now let's go play football. But the other situations, it's. It's tricky because it's the Bengals, and the Bengals always make it tricky. And then you have the commanders. You do have new ownership here. And I was surprised that it's gone this long unless they feel like he's not the guy. But if he's not the guy, then why didn't you do something about this before? That's what I don't understand. And if. And if I'm Trey Hendrickson, I'm probably saying I got a little more leverage. Every time the Bengals play, I get more leverage. Will they trade him? I guess there's a real chance that they could. Terry McLaurin. I have no insights into that situation. Micah Parsons, I think that he gets signed. But now we're getting to that point where they should be in camp and they should be practicing in camp. This is when you get injuries, when guys don't play, then all of a sudden, regular season starts and they go out there and they're going crazy. That's when you get hurt. All right, so we'll have a poll question, play of the day, stat of the day, all of that forthcoming. And Seaton, will you do the honors? By the way, we say good morning, those watching on Peacock and those listening on our radio affiliates over 400 cities that carry the program. Seaton, let's pull question today. Which team feels closer to a Super bowl win? The Bengals or the Commanders? Commanders. That crazy? Commanders. Yeah, Commanders. Yeah, Commanders. Even though they're in a very tough division, obviously with the Eagles there, I think the Cowboys will be. I think they'll be dangerous in a way that they're going to win a couple of games maybe they shouldn't, and they'll lose a couple of games that they shouldn't. Then you have the Giants and the Giants, as I said yesterday, and I'll reiterate this ownership needs to say to the coach and gm, you guys are safe. You are coaching next year. Because if they're coaching for this year to save their job with the number one schedule in the NFL, then I think this is going to stunt the growth of the franchise again. Because if I know that my job is safe, Russell Wilson starts the season and that if I truly believe Jackson Dart can play and I don't have to worry about my job security if, you know, we end up, you know, with six wins this year, but it feels like they could. You could see where somebody loses their job after 10 games with the Giants, and that's because they're going to be coaching for this year to save their jobs. And that schedule is really, really demanding. What else do you have, Seton? Let's see, we have. Here's a college football one for Paul. You played college football. You can have one Heisman Trophy, your number retired by your school, or a statue in front of the stadium. Well, if I get a statue in front of the stadium, I probably did something pretty incredible. True. But there are people who have statues who didn't win Heisman. And some people, some college programs don't retire any numbers. They have rings of honor, like Oklahoma. You get statues. I guess I would want a statue. No, it's always there. Go to the stadium and then you say, oh, there's dad. Oh, there's Grandpa. So I'd guess a statue. Well, they. They kind of creep me out whenever I'm around statues. It's really kind of the. Do you want the statue that stays at the stadium or the statue you could take home with you. Oh, the Heisman. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll take the Heisman. Yeah. I was given the Heisman throughout. Throughout high school and college. Yes, Marvin. Yeah. You'll always make more money being a Heisman Trophy winner than being a Florida State legendary. Whatever. I'm sorry, what? Not necessarily. If you're a legend of a football program, you can go back and do radio shows, TV shows, you can be taken care of. Either. That Heisman juice though is sitting there carrying it in front of people. It's like that's the decoration. It's the coolest trophy there is. I think Heisman's gonna win the poll, but it's a toughie. Statue's cool. Yes. Todd, you're always introduced as Heisman Trophy winner. You're part of that elite group. The statue sometimes, as you were alluding to, sometimes come out weird. It doesn't look anything like you. And just to be able to display that and to forever be. When you go talk to companies, let's just assume, assume it's a great looking statue. Even if it looks exactly like me, I would still want the Heisman. Truth. Well, that doesn't mean it's going to look good. It'll look exactly like you. That's a good point. Even if the statue did look good and looked exactly like you, it's going to take exactly somewhere between three to five minutes for a bird to crap on it. Okay, true, true. Yeah, maybe, you know, get the Heisman stored away, loan it out to your alma mater. Yes, Paul, a lot of colleges, if you get a Heisman, the statue's automatic. Like Oklahoma, I think Florida, Tebow, Spurrier and Danny Werfel have statues. Ernie Davis up at Syracuse, Newt Rocknet, et cetera, et cetera. But some coaches have statues. Doug Flutie has a statue and it's actually to size by the way, at Boston college it's actually 5, 9. All right. 8, 7, 7, 3 DP show email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle @DP Show a couple other. I'm watching the game last night. First of all, Mitchell Tinsley. Hello. I think he went to a juco, then Western Kentucky and then last year at Penn State and a couple years ago and he had two touchdown receptions. And he's probably not even going to make the Bengals roster. Probably not going to make the 53 man roster. Might be a practice squad guy. That's why when you buy into the preseason, you have this referendum on the preseason. You have to caution yourself because he looked great last night. And I think, you know, Joe Buck and Troy even said during the broadcast, hey, commanders, if you need a replacement for Terry McLaurin, there's Mitchell Tinsley. Well, he's probably not making the roster for the Bengals. Here's another thing. There was a play with Joe Burrow where I'm thinking, joe, you're experienced, okay, and you're going to take an unnecessary hit in preseason. You're going to take enough unnecessary hits in the regular season. Just go down. Nobody's a hero. Needs to be a hero in the postseason. He already got, you know, swung around. He got hit one time, and then guys piled on him. But it, you know, trying to extend a play, go down. The greatest. The greatest quarterbacks, you know, in recent memory. Brady and Peyton went down in a fetal position. It's okay. We can't lose you. Jaden Daniels didn't throw passes. He just handed off. Did run in for a touchdown. But I thought it was interesting. The defensive backs kind of came towards him and then treated it like it was, you know, the NFL Pro bowl, where they were just kind of touch him a little bit and like, hey, all right, get in there. Get into the end zone now. Get out of here. We don't want to hit you. Yeah, Paul, it was the weirdest looking play. He breaks the pocket. Jaden Daniels starts running. He gets to about the seven. And it's also almost like, hey, everyone thinks he's going to slide, right? He's going to slide. And the DBs kind of chopped up their steps and put their hands out and he just went through them and they didn't give him the real hit. I don't know if they were going to hit him anyway, but, yeah, I thought he was going to slide. But what you do when I see starters in the preseason, especially quarterbacks, don't be a hero. The guys who were trying to make the team, maybe the backup quarterback, whoever it might be, I understand the extra effort, but Joe Burrow has nothing to prove. Jaden Daniels, even on a run, has nothing to prove. But that's when you have one of those moments where you go, there's our season right there. Also, I'm bearing the lead because Paulie comes in and Paulie was on a mission today, because I'm going to say it. I said, okay, are you ready for this? I go, okay. The commanders have the worst uniforms in the NFL. And I went, wow, I wasn't expecting that on a Tuesday. So we started to chop it up a little bit. I said, I'd still say the Tennessee Titans. Those aren't good uniforms, and the numbers are weird, and never been a fan of those, but Paulie is down on the commanders, and I said, I think the kids are going to like the commander's uniforms. I think you're showing your age, Paul. That could be true. You might be right about that. But the commander's uniforms are kind of nondescript. They're all choppy, different looks. They're nondescript. They're not even bad. Cool bad. Some are ugly bad, but good. What is a choppy uniform? It's got a bunch of different elements on it. It doesn't really have stripes. It has these dots on the shoulders that are weird. And the colors are. I don't know exactly what the colors are. They don't look like traditional Washington. Burgundy and gold. It doesn't feel burgundy. Ish. It feels maroonish. Marvin, help me out, okay? Oh, you're on your own on this one. No, you're the. Well, but you're the fashionista here. I am. No, I like those uniforms a lot. The worst uniforms are the Houston Texans. Those are bad, too. They're terrible. Yeah, we talked about nondescript. Yeah, those are not. If you can't remember them. You know when I say, hey, the Texans, and then you go, okay, wait a minute. I know the helmet. I don't. I don't know what else, you know, with the uniforms, but I think the commanders, like, that's a makeover. I think they've evolved, and they brought themselves into 2024. This is getting. I'm actually getting more upset as I look at the pictures. There's no stripe on the pant. The pant is. Is dark red, and it goes right to red socks. Then there's, like, four stripes on the shoulder and some choppy buttons. It's very, very wonky. Okay. And then the word Washington is in font 8. It's, like very small size across the chest. It is small, I'll grant you that, but we were talking about the colors there. Maybe the color scheme. Yes, Todd, the helmet. Also just the letter. I know the packers can get away with it with gb, but I don't know. I want my team to have some kind of cool logo. If I had a choice that over just a capital letter, which adds to the dismay over the mock USC NFL uniform. So you think this is usc? It reminds me of usc. And USC can totally get away with it, but the commanders cannot. It's just not working for the NFL. Okay. All right, well, Iowa State. They have those similar uniforms, don't they? Like they're copycats of the Trojan. Oh, they are. Okay. Yes, Paul, but Todd has a point. USC's uniforms are similar colors, but they're awesome because they're clean and they're traditional. Here's another uniform because the color that doesn't work. The Eagles. The Eagles are a great franchise and play great football, but that color green is kind of murky and doesn't pop. And especially when they wear the old Kelly greens that look so much better. Yeah. Bad uniform, great team. Randall Cunningham looked even better because of the uniform that he wore. You know, like, he's one of those guys where you go, benny, he had a different uniform. Didn't look as formidable that he looked awesome there. But you're right. The. The Eagle's green is too dark and there is no pop there. You. You really don't like the Titans uniforms. You've been on that for three years. I do not. I do not. I do not. Yes. I'd like to Mike Vrabel there, but I did not like those uniforms. Yes. Mark. Sorry. Skewing positive. What's your favorite NFL uniform? I got too many of them. Yeah. As long as you say Ramsay. Raiders is great, but there's some. Chargers would be probably number one. I mean, let's take them out of, you know, this conversation. They're emeritus like that. That's the Chargers there. We can retire those, but I'm looking for clicks. So I'd say the Cowboys still look great. Yes, Todd. The ones that come to mind for me, Steelers, packers, and when the Broncos go Old School, 1977 orange, royal blue. All right. Thank you, Todd. Yes, Paul. But the Broncos generally in the past 20 years have been terrible because they're not the 80s 90s Broncos that were awesome and then they went wonky for decades. And the issue is all the throwbacks that we like. The teams will never go back permanently. Never. Because they want to sell them twice a season. Like Tampa Bay. Who wouldn't want to see Tampa Bay go full creamsicle? They'll just go creamsicle a couple times a year. I think the New Orleans Saints are sneaky. Great, good. That. That uniform, that helmet color scheme, awesome. But that's the bad team, good uniform situation. Which would you rather have? I would rather have a better team. I. I'm going to take the better. I'd rather, you know, sacrifice style over substance with, you know, the Eagles. I'll take the Eagles. I don't like the uniforms, but I'll Take the end result. Yes, Marvin. So are the charges basically like North Carolina of the NFL? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's just certain uniforms where you go that don't do anything, don't screw it up. And I, I understand merchandising. We got to get a second uniform in there and, you know, or we have to have another alternative jersey. But there's certain ones where you go that just keep that. You don't need to do any variation on that. Yes, Paul. Another example would be the 49ers. It's an odd combination of this kind of lower red, scarlet, red with this tan yellow, gold mix of the pant. But they look awesome. They pop. The Niners always look good. All right, let me take a break. Let me, let me take a break. We settle our poll question. Three hours. Well, I knew, but I knew exactly. That's why I waited a little bit before I brought up the bombshell commander's uniforms. I'm, I'm fine with them, but I skew younger. I mean, I, I appeal to a younger audience and that's why the commanders make sense to me. They look sharp there. How about we take a break and we'll come back after this on the Dan Patrick Show.

Can you put it through? Can you Translate on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Columbia, get to your phone calls. Coming up. Here's a random thought out of nowhere. Don't know why I'm thinking this way, but I was looking once again, nobody has a more exciting life than me. I'm so. I'm looking through Baseball Almanac last night, as I always do, had a cigar, had some tequila, and I'm going through Baseball Almanac. And I go, how many career home runs does Giancarlo Stanton have? He's got 441. And I started to think, is Giancarlo Stanton going to be a Hall of Famer? Get to 500 home runs that used to be. You got to 500 and I kept, you know, I'm like thinking, I don't think so. I don't know if 500 means what it used to mean. And here I am looking at Giancarlo Stanton's stats. I think he's like a.255 career hitter with 441 home runs. And nobody is in better shape who gets injured more in all of sports than Giancarlo Stanton. I mean, that guy, they. They model statues out of him. And he's always. It feels like he's always nicked up. Yeah. Paulie, I'm looking at stats right now. By the way, I love how you spent your night. I think that's awesome. Tequila and baseball almanac. It's like my retirement dream. His first seven years in the bigs, he made four all Star games and was on pace. He had an mvp, second place mvp. But then the back half of his career has been too disappointing. One all star appearance and you kind of categorize his whole career as disappointing. If you were going to comp it like the first eight years of Pujols or the first eight years of Griffey are galactic. And then they cooled off, but not cooled off enough to undo the first eight, ten years. Yeah. Oh, well, that's how I spent my night. I did watch, you know, football, but, you know, I had my baseball almanac there. And my wife goes, what are you doing? I said, I'm doing some reading. And she goes, what are you reading? I said, the baseball almanac. And she says, is it a book that you read? I go, no, it's just stats. And she was like. Which I think she felt sorry for me. I go, huh? No, this is great. I love doing this. Yes. Yes. Marvin, is Paul Goldschmidt a hall of Famer? Oh, man. He's like this generation's Jim. Tell me. He might. He might be. Might be. Had a few really good years out of the spotlight, though. Yeah. Paul, he went to six All Star games in his 20s. Paul Goldschmidt, he also won an MVP at age 34. So the back half his career is still really strong. Yeah. Yeah. You know, those could be two borderline guys. Didn't have that on my rundown today of Giancarlos Paul Goldschmidt, you didn't have commander's worst uniform in football. That's right. Do you have a bottom five worst uniforms in the NFL, Paul? The lack of power rankings for uniforms. Yes. By the way, I just saw North Carolina's football cleats for the Upcoming season, I would actually wear those around, like, socially. They are. Yes, Marvin, I am about to wear those around. Are you? I'm about to look on ebay right now, see if anyone's selling them. Even though, you know, if they're football cleats and, you know, you're walking on the floor and you're clicking, you know, click, click, click, click, click. I still might wear those out. I do yard work in those. They are very, very short. Okay, Paul, your bottom five worst uniforms. Okay, this is in any order, but this is the nondescript, junky looking uniforms. This is the home uniform, not the throwback. Are these also choppy or not? They're very choppy. Okay, got it. Good call. Seaton. The Washington Commanders. Bad font, bad stenciling. Okay. Bad color combination. Tennessee Titans. Way too much going on. Great colors. Bad mix. The. I almost forgot to bring these guys up. The Arizona Cardinals jumpsuits. They look like pajamas. There's no striping, there's no contrast. Red socks, red pants, red jersey, helmets. Great, fantastic helmet. The rest of neck down. They're awful. I forgot to mention this one as well. The Arizona. I'm sorry. The Atlanta Falcons. The Atlanta Falcons. Their stripe goes down and peters out at the end. Oh. Oh. So does their season. Yeah, they tried the ATL thing on the jersey with the shadow box numbers that are way too big. Terrible. I think they got to bring back Steve Bartkowski and that's what hurts them when they play like a Thursday night game and they wear the throwback William Andrews 80s uniforms. That looks so great. Some people hate the Texans. Some people hate the Jaguars. Some people don't like the Seahawks because of what they were years ago. A lot of people don't like the Denver Broncos. That kind of remix they did last year with those choppy lightning bolt stripes. Well, when you don't complete the process of the stripe, it's a problem. Choppy. Antiseptic. Yep. Homogenous. Don't pop. Are they. Are these fashion comments, though? Do they. Do they like in Vogue or, you know, those magazines they talk about, you know, that style is choppy. I don't think so. I. I haven't heard. I don't think anyone uses that word. All right, so I gave you. I said you could have the bottom five. You blew through that. You almost gave me the bottom 10. Yeah, well, there's people who have issues. I'm checking the Twitter. A lot of people have an issue with the Rams. That kind of sunset yellow to white on the number and. But it's because what the Rams could look like. Well, the Rams should look like the Dodgers. Yes. That white should be white. Not that kind of. I mean, I've washed things before sheets, and they look like that. That's not a good look there. Any. Any other teams that make the list? No, those are probably the bottom six or seven that people generally dislike their uniforms. And someone said on Twitter, if you turn on the TV and you look at the uniform and you're not sure what team you're watching for the first five or six seconds, you're failing as a organization. Yes, Todd, that's part of the problem. We've talked about this for years. They're trying so hard to make new uniforms and the city edition and the retro this and all these different colors that you can't even recognize the team colors anymore just to sell a couple extra shirts and jerseys. And it's just. It's ridiculous that you. You actually can't automatically tell sometimes who's playing in the game because then it takes five seconds to be like, oh, that's the Chargers. Got it. Don't have it. Can't spare Chris. Chris. Oh, wait, I can't tell which one is it. What team are we even watching? I can't even tell what team this is. Yes, Chris. Hey, thanks, Dan. Hey, on the pole, I'm going to go, like with most. I'm going to go Commanders. Boy, a year ago, who would have thought any of us would be picking the commanders over Cincy and Dan, yesterday I wanted to say something and you were up against a hard out and I didn't get a chance in. I probably don't even need to say it, but I'm going to anyway. I don't know. Yesterday's show and a lot of shows I've listened to now I know when it became so fashionable to turn Todd into a human pinata. And I know it's joking. I know most of it's joking. And I know, like, old school listeners or even new listeners, you know, loyal Dan Cypoles, all the people out in Dan Nation, they know it's joking. But I just wonder. I know I'm sensitive and I. Some of it's pretty harsh. And I'm just wondering, you know, if it does hurt Todd's feelings. I just wanted to throw out a few things. And the guy is relentless at his job. He takes so much pride. He hooks us up with great guests. He's funny, smart, great person. And one of the most important attributes to you, Dan. I know loyalty. There is no more loyal More loyal person, not only to his job, and I'm sure in every aspect of his life and. And over the years, there's several quintessential moments in the Dan Patrick show history that I'll never forget. And one was, I know he's gone through a lot of health stuff, and there was one time he was in the hospital. I think it was stomach or intestines or something, and you guys weren't saying much about it, and his name came up, and you started to talk about it, and it was only like four or five seconds, but you got so emotional. And. I don't know. I love Todd, and I know you love, love him too, and. Yeah, I guess to. To close on a little bit of a lighter note, I'll throw out one of my favorite things to throw out a quote from Pulp Fiction, which is kind of fitting. Vincent Vega and his drug buddy Lance. You don't mess with Todd Fritz. You just don't do it. Why don't you marry him then? Yeah. Love him so much. Chris, why don't you marry him? That was really fun. Why don't you sit in the back row with him, Chris? I'm glad he got the check that I sent, so that worked. That was very nice. Was that. Chris, was there something yesterday that was said that kind of, you know, put the wheels in motion here? I mean, you know, from way back when, I could listen every day. It just never was about. It seems like every. It just seems relentless. And again, I. I don't want to speak for Todd. He doesn't. Nobody needs me to say it, but it's just. I don't know if you were sense. I don't know, a little part of it might bother him a little bit. And I just want to speak for. I think, you know, the majority. I'm not talking about you guys, and I know the listeners. It's. It's. It's funny and it's. But I don't know. I guess for the casual. Casual listener, I just want them to know. Yeah, guys. Unbelievable. Yes, he is. That's why he's the most valuable Danette and the least valuable. Dan. Yes. Yes. But. Yeah, I didn't know if there was an incident. That kind of set. They've all kind of blended into one incident over the course of about 13 years. I think Chris is referring to. Yeah, I think. Fritzi, you doing okay? I think I'm doing okay. You know, I just. You know, you have your moments where sometimes it feels a little overboard, but, you know, you get past that and you consider the source and you move on. Okay, what if I'm the source? As I said, you consider the source and you move on. You can't get too. You can't get too offended. People are gonna say what they say. It's joking with everybody. Joking a little bit. Seriousness. It's. It's all good, though. Okay. I don't think I. I don't think I complain about it. I go about my business. I feel very strong with who I am and what I contribute. Good, good. Well, then. Then I feel good, too. You should. Glad to have you. Jeff in New Orleans. Hi, Jeff. What's on your mind? Good morning. DP510 and Ozempic175. I just wanted to weigh in on the worst uniform I can up with that previous caller. He. I got nothing for that. But my least favorite uniform. I think the most ugly uniform in the NFL is the Seattle highlighter uniforms. Those are just obnoxious. I found the controls on my TV to turn it to black and white just to watch the game last year. So bad. Anyway, that's my opinion. Thank you, Jeff. It is a little too limey for me. You know, it's got that lime type feel to it. Maybe just a little too much. But you go back to the old, old Seattle Seahawks uniforms, and they were. People made fun of those, too, with Jim Zorn and Steve Largent. Yeah, Paulie. I've always grown up around the Bengals having the Bengal stripe helmets. And you grew up around the Bengals when they had the old school, very simple look. We've gotten used to the Bengals look over the years, and they've stayed pretty consistent with it. But was it awful in Cincinnati when they changed the. I think it was pretty dramatic that it was like, wow, you see the Bengals helmets. But considering what they had before, when Paul Brown got to Cincinnati and, you know, trotted out the Bengals, it was just a boring helmet. It was almost like an offshoot of the Cleveland Browns, you know, similar colors. I like what the Bengals are doing now. And once again, these uniforms aren't for us. They're for, you know, a younger demo. And why wouldn't you have, you know, all kinds of fun colors in there or accentuate certain colors? This is a visual experience there instead of. And. And look, you can have Penn State, and there's something about Penn State that's still just classy. I'm fine with that. I. I think you can do fun things with the helmets now with the. The paint that you use, and, you know, it's kind of layered. Different things that are in the helmet. But I, there's still some uniforms that should never be tinkered with. The other ones, I'm okay. Go ahead. Maybe you'll find something. Actually, you know, looks good. I like the Cleveland Browns uniform. I think that's a classy, it's almost like the NFL version of Penn State. You wouldn't think that that's a great looking uniform, but. But I think it is. I think it looks awesome. David in Cincinnati. Hi, David. What's on your mind? ADP is Dave calls from Scentsy and pretty much watched a lot of that game last night. A lot of the guys that look like they were just standing around with their hands on their hips while Jeff Burrow was running around with his chicken with a Another thing is the never really see the Bengals wear throwback uniforms because really there ain't nothing to throw back to. And then another thing is what about a straight up trade between Hendrickson and Parsons? Call up Jerry Jones and see what he's got for that. Well, you got to pay the other guy. If you're not going to pay Hendrickson, then you're not going to pay Michael Parsons. But thank you, David. Yes, Hendrickson you can probably Pay, you know, 30 million and Micah Parsons you're going to pay 42 million. But Jerry's not trading Micah Parsons. The Bengals could trade Trey Hendrickson. I get that. But you know, you, until I hear that a team is offering Jerry something for Micah Parsons, I just think this, this will happen. It'll happen in dramatic fashion. I don't think it will happen on a Friday. I think it'll be Jerry will want as much air time as he can. Probably on a Monday or a Tuesday be like, yep, now you can talk about it all week long as we get ready for the Philadelphia Eagles. Let's take a break. Our play of the day is up next.

When you pay down those credit cards. If you haven't gotten to the bottom of why you were spe racking up credit or turning to credit cards, you may just recreate the same problem. A year from now when you do feel like you are bleeding from these high interest rates, I would start shopping for a debt consolidation loan, starting with your local credit union.

You know, calling in about this uniform discussion. I've got a long road trip today and you guys are getting me fired up, helping me stay awake. I appreciate it. First off, I just want to make a comment. I've always appreciated Pittsburgh, the city of Pittsburgh, and that they have almost a unified color scheme across several teams. It almost makes you realize, like black and yellow, like that is Pittsburgh. But I'm going to come in with a hot take regarding someone that's always universally regarded as a great uniform. And I think many aspects of the Cowboys are overrated. But I'm going to say particularly one specific uniform. Those whole white with the pants. I defy you to tell me are they blue or gray pants? Because it is a differing opinion when you ask different people. I think that they look like practice uniforms. I think that they look like that should be something they're wearing in the middle of the week. And so I thought again of many things about the Cowboys that are overrated. I do think even that specific uniform is one of them. All right, thank you, Lucas. Hot take. Yes, Paul. He's not the only one who says said that about the Cowboys home uniforms. They have a white jersey, dark blue numbers, dark blue socks, light blue silver pants, and then a pure silver helmet. A lot going on. Jason in Maine. Hi, Jace. Good morning. How are you? So you were talking about how the Tennessee Titans are terrible uniforms, which I kind of agree, but remember back in the day when it used to be the Houston Oilers? Those colors were just magic. Right. But for some reason, like the. Those same colors actually transcended into the same loss, which was like weird losses with. With like the epic, you know, the. Against the Buffalo Bills. Right. And then against the Super Bowl. I don't want to run down. I don't want to run down Titan memories here. Okay. We're just talking about the uniforms. Thank you, Jason. The Houston Oilers, they had great uniforms. Great uniforms. That's what makes these uniforms, I think, look even worse. Aiden in Utah. Hi, Aiden. What's on your mind today? Adp. Good morning. Listen, just because teams haven't changed their uniform since the Cold War does not make them good. Okay? The Steelers are okay. The packers are okay. But just because they're classic doesn't make them good. Listen, I just. And the Only thing I want from you guys for the Big two zero is a birthday song from Todd, and Todd only. Oh, okay. How about that, Todd, a birthday song from you for Aiden in Utah. We can do that. Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday dear Aiden in Utah Happy birthday to you and many healthy happy birthdays. Enjoy yourself. Alrighty. There you go. That's quite a gift there, Aiden. Thank you for calling Zach in Knoxville. Hi, Zach and Knoxville adp. Thanks for taking my call. I wanted to address what Chris in Syracuse did. I feel like he was taking a shot at me for the shot that I took at Todd yesterday. And just want to let Todd know I always vote for him for Most Valuable Dan at. And I'm the one that said the gong should not be there for when he messes up. And the only reason I took a shot at him is because he took a shot at me for wearing my baseball jersey unbuttoned when I sent in my Pie to the Face video. So it's nothing but love over here, Todd. All right. Love you back. All right. Thank you, Zach. Andrew in Washington. Hi, Andrew. Good morning, Dan Dennett. Thanks for taking my call. Yeah, a lot of Todd love going around. Todd is a vital part of the show. Everybody knows that. But content is the most vital part of the show, and he provides that, and you provide that with him also. I do have a Stat of the day. My question today kind of goes into, you know, jerseys and uniforms and how they look on the field. Last night was Washington versus Cincinnati and Monday Night Football, and I was just wondering who the most exciting team to watch will be this coming year. Might not be the best team. It might not be the the worst team, but the most exciting team. And real quick, my Stat of the Day. In honor of rich Eisen hosting SportsCenter for the first time in over 20 years, last night, I got this stat from him. In the Phillies 407 win over the Mariners, all nine of their starters, they hit the first two innings for the first time since September 28, 1963. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Of the day. Stat of the day. Here comes that. What? Stat of the day. Thank you, Ron Burgundy. Stat of the Day, brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the program. Update the poll results if you can. Seaton from the first hour. Yep, sure can. We got two of them working right now for you. Which would you rather have if you were a college football star? Do you rather have the Heisman, your number retired, or a Statue Right now, 74% of the audience have a Heisman, and who feels closer to a Super bowl win, Bengals or Commanders? The commanders right now have 64% of that vote. Yeah, I probably have those odds a little bit better. If the Bengals had Trey Hendrickson, I'd certainly feel a whole lot better. But that's you gotta have a defense that stands up at some point in the season. Whether it's a drive or it's a couple of games. Your defense is going to have to win you some games. I know everything is predicated on passing and the offense and opening it up and scoring. And it's it comes down to defense. Every time, every year I say that it will come down to defense. One hour in the books. Two more to go. We'll talk to the director who is going to give us the documentary on the Cowboys. He'll join us. Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk will stop by and Chase Daniel, former quarterback. He'll break down some of the preseason performances of these rookie quarterbacks. One hour in the books.

Episode: It’s Time to Get into Camp, Bad Uniforms
Date: August 19, 2025
Host: Dan Patrick (with Danettes: Fritzi, Seaton, Marvin, Paulie)
Podcast Network: iHeartPodcasts and Dan Patrick Podcast Network
The first hour kicks off a lively and layered discussion blending preseason NFL storylines, team vulnerabilities, contract dramas, and—stealing the spotlight—a heated debate on the best and worst uniforms across the NFL. With trademark humor, camaraderie, and audience interaction, Dan and the Danettes juggle football analysis, nostalgia, design critiques, and a heartfelt moment about show regular Todd Fritz.

[30:00] Dan’s Bombshell: Commanders Have the Worst Uniforms
“When you say, ‘Hey, the Texans,’ and then you go, ‘Okay, wait a minute—I know the helmet, I don’t know what else.’” — Dan ([33:50])
Throwback Uniform Nostalgia:
[56:00] Dan’s Late-Night Baseball Almanac Journey
[65:30]
On Bengals’ Perpetual Ceiling:
“Kind of have a great team means you’re always going to be on that border of 8-9 or 9-8. And that’s not any way to exist in the NFL.” — Dan ([05:00])
On Jerry Jones’ Negotiating Style:
“Once again, Jerry is going to let this play out, get the publicity, swoop in and say, ‘Look what I did.’ Now let’s go play football.” — Dan ([09:55])
On NFL Uniform Messes:
“There’s no stripe on the pant...the word Washington is in font 8, very small size across the chest. It is small, I’ll grant you that.” — Paulie ([34:40])
“That’s not a good look there. I’ve washed things before—sheets—and they look like that.” (On Rams’ jersey colors, Dan, [49:22])
On Statues vs. Trophies:
“Even if the statue did look good and looked exactly like you, it’s going to take exactly somewhere between three to five minutes for a bird to crap on it.” — Seaton ([19:10])
On ESPN-style Polls:
“Yes, Todd, you’re always introduced as ‘Heisman Trophy Winner.’ You’re part of that elite group. The statue sometimes come out weird. Doesn’t look anything like you.” — Dan ([18:22])
On the Todd Fritz “Roasting”:
“Some of it’s pretty harsh, and I just wonder if it hurts Todd’s feelings. He’s relentless at his job...takes so much pride...funny, smart, great person.” — Chris the caller ([71:10])
“You just consider the source and you move on...I feel very strong with who I am and what I contribute.” — Todd Fritz ([74:00])
Lighthearted, sarcastic, and nostalgic, with a signature blend of audience-friendly ribbing, knowledgeable sports analysis, and a willingness to shift from playful debates (uniforms!) to more serious moments (team management, Danette appreciation).
This hour is both a preseason NFL check-in and a locker-room-style deep dive into what fans love (and love to hate) about the league's aesthetics. The banter about uniforms (especially the Washington Commanders) steals the show, though contract drama and preseason injuries loom large. It’s classic Dan Patrick—mixing the substantial with the trivial for a uniquely engaging listen, all rounded off by a heartfelt community moment championing the spirit of the show and its people.
