Marvin's here, Paulie's here, Eaton, Fritzy, and the back room guys as well. Big game tonight. Feels too big for Thursday night. You know I. I don't know. Anybody could come out and say that it's a game that's too big for Thursday night. Ram Seahawks. Yes, Todd, you just did. I know, but I'm, I was. I'm just flowing. I was. I'm doing a flow. Dead. Three, two, one. Okay, gang's all here. Ready? Rams at the Seahawks. It's a game that's too big for Thursday night. Rams are getting one and a half over. Under is 42 and a half.

That's jlab.com play of the Day Poll question Stat of the all of that forthcoming. And we'll get to those. Yes, Paul. You know, these standalone games, Dan, is this gonna be, is this gonna be a good night or a bad night for Sam Darnold, perception wise. Speaking of which, the Seahawks look dangerous. They look like a team built to play in January, maybe February. You got playmakers, you got a really good defense. The question mark is Sam Darnold. Now, his resurgence has been a great story. Now he had the resurgence with the Vikings, he's played well with Seattle and he is a franchise quarterback. But you got gotti numbers last season. 4,000 yards, 35 touchdowns. Vikings went 14 and 3. But then his biggest moments brought out his worst football. He's.03 in big games, high stakes games. You got week 18 against Detroit, the divisional title on the line, nine points. Last year's wild card, same story. And then earlier this year against the Rams, four interceptions in a 2119 loss. So Sam is a franchise quarterback. But you know, the problem is lights get bright and then all of a sudden personalities change and this is a regular season game. I expect Sam Darnold to play well. It's the postseason that, that's where you have the question marks here. And Sam does have those question marks attached to him. And you want to be, you know, keep in mind, Philip Rivers quarterback rating prior to the last five minutes of the game was better than Sam Darnold's in that Colts narrow loss to Seattle. That shouldn't happen at home. Now the Colts defense did play really well to keep them in this game. But if you're Seattle, the defense did the job, but you got to have the offense doing, you know, few, few more touchdowns in there. That was what was, I think lost in that game. Yeah, Philip Rivers played okay. Sam Darnold, that offense didn't do much and I think that's where you start to go. Okay, are you ready to go in these big moments? And you expect this to be a very tight game like the first game was. And they could have won the game even with four interceptions by Sam Darnold the last time these two teams met. But that'll be coming up tonight as The Rams are one and a half point underdogs. Over under is 42 and a half. Tua Tongue of Iloa benched, but far more than that, he was deactivated. So he's the third. He's the emergency quarterback. You're going to have Quinn Ewers and you're going to have Zach Wilson in there. Here's the Dolphins head Coach on Mike McDaniel talking about what went wrong for two of this season. Playing quarterback and being a starting quarterback and then being a franchise quarterback. These are all things that are very complex. I think this, this is a player that his MO had been growth and you know, just exceptional learner and he's always evolving. You know, there's compounding variables that you can't just pinpoint one or two things. I still believe that his growth can continue, but, you know, I couldn't responsibly play this next game when I thought what the team needed was available. Oh boy, there's a lot to decipher there because it felt like Mike McDaniel kept his job this season after they fired their GM because of his relationship and development of Tua. Now he's saying that in fairness to the team, I'm going to bench and he's going to be my third string quarterback and you owe him a lot of money. I don't know if they're willing to admit that maybe this is a Russell Wilson, Denver Bronco type situation. And it feels like yesterday that's sort of what they did. But I mean, Russ leaving Seattle to go to Denver and he's probably was 10 years older than Tua to it. You know, you still see him when he's got Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle and you go, and they got a really good running game. He was just the weak link. I don't, I don't think his arm is threatening. It's, you know, it's threatening If I throw it to Tyreek Hill, I can throw it seven yards and he takes it 70 and you get credit for a 77 yard touchdown. You gotta throw out to the numbers. I mean, this is what Philip Rivers is going to find out again this week against the Niners is, hey, you can have over the middle. I mean, we're going to force you to throw out the numbers. You're not going to get over the middle. We're going to force you out to the numbers. That's where these quarterbacks make their living. Can you throw to the numbers? And I don't think Tua can do that, do that and be threatening. He can throw it over the middle, dink and dunk, those kind of things. But can you throw to the numbers? That's what you want to see. If you're a defensive back, they're going to be like Philip Rivers, let me see if you can throw that pass out there in the flats. Because I don't think he can. And two of the same way. Now, it's not all on him, but that's where you start when you're spending $50 million on somebody. Tyreek Hill is gone. Now you start to look at what is the future and they're going to find out if Quinn Ewers can play. We already know sort of what Zach Wilson is, but let's see what Quinn Ewers does. Maybe it gives the team a little bit of a spark. You could use it. And you're facing a team that could use his spark to the Cincinnati Bengals, because, man, Joe Burrow, somebody's. Somebody's got a buy him an ice cream cone or something because he seems miserable. And he yesterday was asked about continuing to play football. I like playing football for the same reasons that I wanted to push to come back from injury. Same reasons I want to play this week. Feels like everything, everybody's trying to do everything in their power to make me not play football. And I feel like I'm fighting it, like fighting everybody else. Like, I just want to play, I just want to play ball. That's all I want to do. Is there any world in your mind where you're not the quarterback of the Bengals next year? I can't see that. No. Have you ever both thought about the possibility of not being the quarterback here during your career or. You think about a lot of things. Okay. I mean, he's got to say those things, but still, I, I want to see it on the field. I mean, he can, he can say something in a press conference. He can be despondent. He can say something after a loss. You got embarrassed by the Ravens. That's. That's what I want to like, why are you bad on offense? You're back. You vouch for your receivers. They got paid. You got shut out. That's what's kind of alarming here. Yeah, okay. I'm 29. I'm not having fun. I've had injuries. We're not good. Okay. You know, he. He fought back after the toe injury, took off the cast himself. I mean, he wanted to play. And then all of a sudden, maybe we just caught him at the wrong time. You know, you start to think, I'm 29. You know, Mahomes is out. Buffalo's not that good. Pittsburgh's not that good. Baltimore's not that good. Yeah, Denver, but they're, you know, inexperienced Chargers, okay, you have our chance. But that's why when people say, oh, they'll get back, tell them to be quiet because they're. All these sports are littered with, well, don't get back. The Bengals aren't going back to the Super Bowl. Not anytime soon. And maybe not in Joe Burrow's career. And you wonder, does he want to stay in Cincinnati, even though they gave him total autonomy? It felt like, hey, I want Trey Hendrickson resigned, okay? I want T. Higgins. All right? Jamar's going to get his contract. Okay? Got all those things done. Check, check, check, check. And then you get blown out by the Ravens at home, a team you beat Thanksgiving night. That's the bigger picture is what is wrong with Cincinnati, because they should still be at least threatening the betting line in that game against Miami, the Bengals, they are favored by four and a half. In Miami, it was two and a half. So maybe. Maybe Joe's in a better mood. Yeah, Seaton, it sounds like the biggest problem in Cincinnati is the front office. Then if Joe Burrow is the one making all the decisions, fire all those people. Get rid of the gm. He clearly doesn't do anything. Joe Burrow is the one that's like, no, I said sign this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy. Yeah. Paulie. Joe Burrow feels like a guy who was a billionaire and now loses most of his money and has to live like a normal life. He went From Heisman, what, 60 touchdowns at LSU, number one pick, was it his second year in Cincinnati. He makes a Super bowl and comes a block away from winning it. He was. Had a three or four year run where he was dubbed the next great quarterback, and now he's living like A civilian getting hurt, getting banged up, losing games. He's not used to this, but I just don't understand. He's healthy. You got your. Now Higgins has been out with a concussion, but, I mean, Joe is healthy. Ish. It's just, man, you start to hear. And it just felt like it was a little bit more. I was surprised with the honesty with when, you know, when he had that press conference a couple of weeks ago. But then I thought, okay, you know, you have a bad day and all right, play. Play the season out. Let's see. And then all of a sudden, you play against the Raven. This is a game you gotta win. And I think those two interceptions against Buffalo, that changed that game, changed the Bengals any hopes of trying to make the playoffs. And it just felt like Joe took that so personally. They were a better team than Buffalo. Yeah. See, you got the same record as the Saints. Yeah, that's not the plan. Don't just say it. You're. If you're Joe Burrow. No offense, New Orleans, but you're the. If you're Joe Burrow and that's how we're playing that. Well, hell no. Do you think the Saints say, hey, man, we got the same record as the Bengals? As opposed to the Bengals, man, we have the same record as the Saints. Possible poll question. Best 4 in 10 team this season. Commanders, Bengals, Saints. Other question mark. Yeah, Paul. Based on the hope ometer, which we coined in 2023, the Saints are actually quite hopeful. They may have found their quarterback on the cheap. The hobometer. Yeah. So two is benched and deactivated. And so Quinn Ewers, come on down. No banner for the Knicks. I still want to wait and see on this. The commissioner, you know, when we had Reggie Miller on yesterday and I said, regular Lakers put up a banner. Like, they don't put up a cup banner. He said, why not? I said, do you think the commissioner encouraged them to put up a banner? Once again, if. If we're going to buy into it, we have to believe the players are buying into it. Like it means something. Now it doesn't mean anything to us. I think it meant something to the spurs to play in a big game and be, you know, a focal point. And they played really well. But putting up a banner. The Knicks should be in the NBA Finals this year. That's how good they are. I'm not surprised they won, you know, the banner or the cup. And now do you have a banner? I put the banner at my practice facility. You know, they want to. They Want to have a, like a kind of ceremony on Friday for the fans to be like, I. I don't know if Ben Stiller and Spike Lee or Timothy Chalamet are gonna be going crazy. Like, yes, that's this. That's the first of another banner that's coming in here. Yes, Todd. But if the Knicks suddenly reverse course and they say, you know, come to think of it, we will put it up, it's gonna be blatant that the NBA forced it. Or will the Knicks even care? Or will Adam Silver even care? The bottom line is I got them to put the banner up. I don't care if they know that I forced the team to do it. That's my question to you is, well, does Adam Silver care if he forces them to do it? And that's the reason the banner's up there. Well, you know, you get through one day of, you know, bad press, and then the banner stays up there. But you, I mean, you're trying to make something happen and you're telling us, man, you're crazy to not buy into the cup. Like, no, hey, look at what we did to the floors. Don't they look cool? Yeah, it's still just a basketball game in December. Yeah, Marvin, but you're acting like the Knicks are the Lakers, where they have tons of championship banners. The Knicks have division title banners up at the Garden, so they can't be like, oh, you know what? We only celebrate the big championship one. You don't have two banners. You have a bunch of division title banners up there. Yeah, there's plenty of room up there. Tons. Yeah, they got Harry Styles and Billy Joel and Fish banners up there, too. What's Harry Styles in there for? Selling out, like, I think so shows or something more than that. Like 13 days in a row or something. Wait, you get a banner? Yes. Billy Joel has a banner. Well, Billy Joel deserves one. Fish has a banner. Of course. And Harry Styles has a banner. Fish. Oh, Fish. New Year's Eve at the Garden. That is true. Every single. Every single. Okay, okay. How many musicians, how many bands have banners? Oh, no. In sports arenas. Oh, that question. Banner worthy. Yes, yes. Does Coldplay get a banner after the Coldplay? Cam caught that couple. Oh, like, I don't know what. What constitutes. We're going to have a banner up there, maybe, like, where you play years and years or a long run at a certain venue. Okay, I don't know. How many other bands have banners? Yes, Eden. I mean, doing 15 nights at the Garden for Harry Styles, that's a Hell of a run. Okay, but is that banner worthy? I think it is. Okay. Yeah, I think it is. What other places? Well, it's the Garden too. Yes, Martin, Jay Z has a banner up in Barclays Center. Wow. Nobody goes there so they wouldn't see it. Biggie sold it out. He opened up Barkley center and he got a banner. Yeah, he sold out maybe the first five. Wasn't he a part time owner of the. Oh, the Jay Z factor. The JZ factor. That's kind of weak. Like Dan, like you gonna hang a banner in here. If you look how many shows Dan Patrick did here. Wow, that's amazing. Yeah, yeah, good point. Okay, send over the Emmy. Once again, it's a game too big for Thursday night. It's the Rams and the Seahawks. That's how we got started today, Todd. We did. And I jumped in on you. Yeah, you did. Thirty seconds and I was a little rude, but it wasn't even a good line. Just raise your hand. That's what I should have done, let you through your opening thing and I should have kept my mouth shut. 877-3-DP show email address dp@danpatrick.com Twitter handle @DP Show Poll Question Play of the day Stat of the day.

Get ready. Five days of football and it starts tonight. A game too big for Thursday night. It'll be Seattle hosting the Rams. Devonte Adams, I guess, is still a game time decision. I'm not expecting him to play, but if he does, great. If not, then Pukinakua. Come on down. By the way, Pukinakua making some news. He let me get the story right. He says that NFL refs are the worst. They want to be on tv. So I'm guessing he's joking. He was streaming with Aiden Ross. Do you have the sound, Marvin? Here's Puka Nukua talking about the referees. The refs are the worst because there's some of the rules aren't. And like, these guys want to be. These guys are lawyers and like, they want to be on TV too, bro. Like the game. You don't think he's. He's texting his friends in the group chat like, yo, you guys just saw me Sunday Night Football like that? No way. Like that wasn't PI like. But I called it. Seriously. I mean, these guys are noble human beings, too. Okay. What does the NFL do? You brush it off. He's saying it in kind of. You know, I always think there's a little bit of truth in every bit of kidding. And when you say, oh, you know, we're just loose. We're in the hallway. We're having some fun here. But you're still saying that the officials may make some calls so they can be on tv. Yeah. Paul, does the NFL give him an off the record warning through his agent or the team because he's a likable player and it wasn't at the podium, it wasn't after the game or in an official NFL interview capacity. Any chance? The NFL's Competition Committee states that on the league's football operations website that criticism of officiating has always been considered conduct detrimental to the league. Such conduct is often met with a fine. All right. Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, Miles Garrett. They've been fined for public criticism of officials in recent years. The NFL did not immediately respond to a possible fine for Puka Nukua. Okay. Yeah. Want to be on tv? Hey, can I make my shirt a Little tighter. Looking good. Yes, Todd, I think to me, you wink at this one, but it does set a precedent. Oh. As long as I say something in jest on a podcast or something, I can kind of navigate my way through getting a point across and not getting a fine because they didn't do anything to Puka. Yeah. And then Travis Kelsey on his podcast was talking about Patrick Mahomes returning to the Chiefs. He's. He's a fearless, fearless warrior when it comes to this football thing, and he's. He's going to make sure that he comes back stronger than ever, and hopefully the Chiefs can get him back as. As soon as possible. I know right now it's kind of right around that week one or the. The. The beginning of the season next year, so I know he's going to be doing everything he can to get back. Back out on that field for the Chiefs as soon as possible, man. So the Chiefs. Not we. Chiefs. Me, Maybe. Maybe I'm reading between the lines there, but Todd says we with the Broncos. I know the difference between we and they. And it sounds like he is distancing himself from the Kansas City Chiefs. Play it again, because it's. It's the Chiefs. He's. He's a fearless, fearless warrior when it comes to this football thing, and he's going to make sure that he comes back stronger than ever, and hopefully the Chiefs can get him back as. As soon as possible. I know right now it's kind of right around that week one or the. The. The beginning of the season next year. So I know he's going. Can to get back there, back out on that field for the Chiefs as soon as possible. Man, where's the we? Gotta be a we. What? Yes, Todd, he doubled down saying Chiefs twice. I know he had two opportunities to say we, and I think he's trying to wish this into reality. Like, you know, he's gonna be there. He's gonna be there week one, and he's gonna give it everything he's got it, and we're gonna. Then the Chiefs are gonna get him back week one. Yeah. See, yeah, he definitely strikes me as a power of positive thinking guy. And we're like, you know, if I just say it enough times and put it out there in the universe, the universe is going to make it happen that his knee will be healthy for week one. Yeah. It's a long road. And, you know, we've. We've made improvements on certain surgeries. You know, Achilles surgery, even the procedure that Shohei had, it wasn't Labeled Tommy John. But maybe that's where we're trending, that, you know, you don't have to have a year off from pitching, but with the Knee and the ACL and an LCL and we had RG3 on yesterday and he talked. He said, I would advise him and Micah Parsons to not play next season because he didn't feel well after he had his surgery the following year. Yes. It'll be interesting to see how the Dan Patrick show covers the Chiefs next season when if Travis and Patrick are back. Yes. See, they did the joke. Yeah, I saw it. The damn Patrick shows. Yeah. Yeah. I wish you guys. I wish you guys the best. No, that was in two years. In two years, how you guys are gonna be interesting to see how the damn Patrick covers things. Yes. Yes. Paul, you know, RG3 said that yesterday about, you know, if I were them, I would take a year off. That's a 35 year old retired guy speaking. Not a, you know, he. You don't. But he's looking back on when he had his surgery. Yeah. Mahomes probably thinks to himself, I want to take every year I can. And skipping a year. Guys don't think about skipping years in the moment. Well, no, he's not going to skip a year. But what RG3 is saying is looking back, he didn't feel good. He didn't feel comfortable with his knee until the following season. So a year removed from having the surgery, then he said he started to feel a little bit better. All right, couple of phone calls. Zach and Knoxville, Good morning, Zach. What's on your mind today? Adp, thanks for taking my call to talk about the Joe Burrow situation. Boo hoo, bro. Just do your rehab and shut your mouth. But I would say if I was the Raiders or I know they won't do it in division with the Steelers, if I'm those two teams, I try to mortgage my future to get him. If you were advising an NFL team, who would you advise to go all in on Joe Burrow to get him out of there? Minnesota, five minutes. Because you know at some point Justin Jefferson's gonna go, what am I doing here? Hopefully that's today. Yeah, like, what am I doing? What did he have two catches for 11 yards his last game? It's the best receiver in football. Or at least one of the top three. Yeah, see, I'm just wondering what Zach was so upset about. I don't know. Zach was like, you know, shut your mouth. He did his rehab to get back to this point. All right, so Chill out, man. The hell are you so mad? Yeah, just shut your mouth. Boo hoo. Yes. Marvin, wait. They asked me a question. They're making me do this. I don't want to be up here. The Raiders historically have taken on. They know how to take on the disgruntled Randy Moss. Disgruntled. Goes out to the Raiders. Didn't work out that well. Carson Palmer, his career was going south and he goes out to the Raiders. The Raiders have the number two pick in the draft right now. Yeah. No, they. Joe Burrow's not leaving anytime soon. They. And unless he pulls a Carson Palmer and says, I just don't want to play here anymore, he still wants to. You know, when you. When you take time away from the game and then you go, man, I love it. I still want to do it. I get paid $60 million. I don't care how much money you have. You never have enough money. Elon Musk, he doesn't. He still takes paychecks. Yeah. They sound like Jeff Bezos. Doesn't go, I gotta wait. I got enough money here. Joe Burrow, come on. I don't really know. That's something that should be celebrated. But. Yeah, of. Of having too much money. Yeah. Yeah. Paulie, when Carson Palmer worked his way out of Cincinnati, he was 30 years old and just had a 4 and 12 season. Yeah. Blue. Coincidence. Yeah. Yeah. Similarities. Yeah. But Joe got everything he wanted. He got everybody signed. He got what he wanted. It's just he got injured and he gets injured every year. And I think, you know, when you play like that, your last year in college, he has 60 touchdown passes, he's throwing two NFL wide receivers, he's smoking cigars after games, during games. Yeah, he could have. He could have gone to the line of scrimmage. He could have said, hey, hold this cigar while I throw another touchdown pass here. And then all of a sudden you struggle. And then all of a sudden the reality sets in. But the window was open this year, certainly in the afc. Yes. What is. He has Zach Taylor window. Ooh. We spent a lot of time talking about, like, other coaches and their hot seat. Kevin Stefanski, man. But yeah, my. You know, down In Miami, Mike McDaniel. Mike McDaniel. I don't hear a lot of Zach Taylor talk. Yeah. Yeah. I wonder if he survives this. I wonder. But then they asked Joe Burrow, who do you. Who do you want to play for? Why don't you help us with the. Cam Ward said he wants to be involved in the Titans coaching search. Oh, he's earned it. Yeah, clearly I question that. Of course, you know, was Caleb Williams involved in the coaching search with the Bears? He should have been, right? Let's see. J.D. and Bozeman. Hi, J.D. what's on your mind today? Good morning, DP. Hey, just to talk a little about the next banner and maybe throw out some fish facts for you. A few years ago, fish did a 13 night run over New Year's. Did not repeat a song. It was called the Baker's Dozen. And if you were lucky to be there, you got a donut. All right, once again, the closest I've been to a Fish concert was a restaurant in the Garden and guys were going to a fish show. We were in a steakhouse and they said, do you want to go? And all four of them took out a hit of Molly. And I said, I'm good, guys. They go, man, you're. You're gonna miss out. I said, if you take that, you might be missing out too, a little bit. I don't know if I. I don't know if I need to be artificially manipulated to enjoy a show. You know? What's wrong with just watching the show? Like, people drop acid, you know, if they went to Woodstock and like. Yeah. It isn't the reason you're going to watch the music, listen to music. Oh, I'm getting too old. I'm too old. Let's see. Jesse in Fort Lauderdale. Hi, Jess. What's on your mind? Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. 64285 stepdad bod. Just wanted to chime in on the banner worthy conversation. In Atlanta, the State Farm Arena, I believe, has the band Widespread Panic banners up there. A long run of nearsight Eve shows. I'd say 20 years ago. Maybe Callie can fact check that. What up, Marv? Taylor Swift probably has a banner up somewhere, doesn't she? Yes, Morph. She has one in Staples Center. Okay, yeah, I could see that. Deserves it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The amount of money that she made, all of these arenas, Billy Joel's Madison Square garden residency, tops $200 million in gross money. How about that? Of the day? Start of the day. Start of the day. Start of the day. This is the start of the day. Back in 2014, Billy Joel was making $2 million per show at the Garden. Now he makes more than 3 million. Dang. He's earned over a billion dollars on the road. But the Garden show, when I got a chance to see him earlier this year, it was great. And he. He still brings it. He still Sounds great. Yes. Did you see the Taylor Swift thing where her eras tour made something like $2 billion worldwide and she. She gave out something like $200 million just in bonuses to her crew? Yeah, that's. That is a crazy to have a tour because it's not like that tour is cheap, you know, but to still be able to gross that much money is insane. Yes. Paul. Dan, Just as journalists to cover this story, the Taylor Swift banner at the Staples center had been removed as of 2020. According to Entertainment Tonight, which covers this stuff, Swift got the banner in 2015 to celebrate her record sold out shows in the stadium. The Kings won the cup in 2012. And then they went on a dry run, dry spell. And fans were complaining that it's because of the Taylor Swift banner. They covered the banner in 2019 and then removed and stored the banner in 2020, according to the Los Angeles Times. And the. The Kings, they took it down. I gotta check if it's back up. Roger in Iowa. Hey, Roger. Good morning, 61208. I watch you every day on Peacock. And for that reason, I'd like to nominate Dylan for MVD at 2025. All right, what's going to happen tomorrow? We're going to put up@danpatrick.com we're going to have the most valuable and least valuable Danette. And then that'll give us Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and then Tuesday, which will be our last show before the holidays, I believe. Then we will announce the most valuable, least valuable. And if you guys think we should do the backroom guys as well. Do we do just most valuable backroom guy. So maybe we can incorporate that and then you, the audience will vote on this. I already know who I think the most valuable backroom guy is in my mind. I've already got it. Your votes in. Yo. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's. It's been there for a while. A month. Least valuable. Most valuable. Dan it. So that'll be tomorrow. We'll put it up on the website. And then you're going to decide who has a great holiday and who doesn't. Who will be bothered the most. Well, Todd has been the most valuable and least valuable a couple of different years, right? Yeah. So it kind of cancels each other out the. The moon below. Yeah. So. So you're back to square one. Pretty much. Okay. All right, so we'll. We'll have you vote on that. The audience can vote on that. So I don't have that pressure on me of playing favorites in here. All right, we'll take a break. The playmaker Michael Irvin will join us coming up next hour. We're back with more phone calls and our play of the day after this. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.

Listen to the Ripple Effect with Jenna Kim Jones on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. This is Richard Sherman from the Richard Sherman Podcast. Let me tell you about Ready or Not, the tactical first person shooter where you take command of a SWAT team and feel the weight of the badge. Recently I reunited with my legion of Boom teammates Cliff Averill, Cam Chancer, Michael Bennett and Walter Thurman. We partnered with Ready or Not to go through actual SWAT training and film the whole experience. Watch it now at the Richard Sherman Podcast YouTube channel. Here's what makes this game different. It's not just mindless Run and gun. Just like the Legion of Boom built an elite defense on strategy and teamwork. Ready or not demands the same mentality. You're commanding a SWAT team, clearing rooms, protecting civilians, making tactical calls. As a coordinated team with 18 missions that challenge you in completely different ways, every operation demands that same discipline and teamwork. Best part? Try it for free for a limited time on PlayStation and Xbox. Go solo or squad up with five players in full crossplay support. If you want strategic, high stakes action that rewards elite tactics and fast thinking, then this is the game for you. Try Ready or Not for free today on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S.

Pearl Jam has a banner in Philadelphia at the Wells Fargo Center. I think they played 10 consecutive nights where they sold out. I still haven't seen Pearl Jam. I I've seen Cold Play. I never saw Nirvana, but you know, that next Wave. And I kept thinking, oh, you know, I'll get around to this. I'll get around to this. And Pearl Jam is still performing, but I wanted to see when Eddie Vedder is climbing on the scaffolding, you know, when he's hanging there, you know, 100ft up. Yeah, Paul. I only saw Pearl Jam once on the south side of Chicago in this really wonky smaller venue. And he did the climbing from the stuff falling all over the stage thing back then. Yeah, yeah. Great sound. And the fact that they loved Mookie Blaylock because that. That was the name of the band. I think they were. I don't know, was it Mookie or Mookie Blaylock was the original name. I think the original concept was gonna be Mookie Blaylock the basketball player. Yeah, of course. Jordan in Peoria. Hey, Jordan, what's on your mind? Hey, Dan, thanks for having me on again. You got to check out your band Green Day as well. I'm sure at some point. But I had a selfish ask for you and also just a question as well, but I was going through my parents basement the other day and I found an old souvenir of mine. It's a small football from ESPN Wide World of Sports down there in Disney World. And it's got a bunch of old Sports center like anchor sayings on there and I believe Fuego is on there as well. So I was hoping to selfishly ask if I could get that sent in and signed from you. But then the follow up question would be, I was always curious, like, how'd you guys come up with all those catchphrases? Because, I mean, the old days are awesome on the Old Sports center and I just think they're hilarious too. I always catch myself. You can stay on hold. Tyler will give you information. You want to send it in. I'll sign that for you. I think a lot of it was just born out of boredom that we were doing highlights. So many highlights every single night. And most of the time when you saw the highlight, that would be the first time that I saw the highlight and you were trying to buy some time. So when you're watching the highlight and you haven't seen it before and you got information in front of you, sometimes if you gave a. You can't stop him. You can only hope to contain him was my way of buying a little bit of time to then if I had to let the highlight catch up to me or vice versa. So there, there was some artistry around that, but also having fun because, you know, the whiff came from just playing wiffle ball with my brother in the backyard. When I'd strike him out, I go, the whiff, you can't stop him. You can only hope to contain him was usually about a guy who wasn't a great player, but he had a great moment. Like Benny D. Stefano might have been the first guy that I used that. I think he was with the Astros, and he may have hit a triple. Well, it takes a little time to get to third base. Just ask me in high school. But I would say you can't stop him. You could only hope to contain him. And it was because I was trying to buy some time there in fuego was really. That was Marv Albert. And that was when the Rockets were playing in the playoffs, maybe the finals. And Marv kept saying that somebody, Sam Cassell is on fire. And. But he kept saying it. And then a cameraman said, you know, the Spanish version is El fuego. During commercial break, I came back out and all of a sudden I said, el fuego. Spanish teacher from Pennsylvania wrote in a couple of days later, said, I think you mean to say en fuego on fire, not the fire. And those are just, you know, some of the catchphrases that, that we had. Gone. Was playing stratomatic. When you roll the dice, it'd be like, you know, 110 gone. And you know, when you're playing against somebody rolling the dice, you have a baseball card in front of you. And Gary Miller came up with that. Yeah, Paulie. And I don't think you guys could have realized it, being in Bristol in the mid-90s of how those caught on with younger guys. Yeah. Being like 24 year old years old in Chicago, a guy would go up to a girl and then the girl would just walk away and we would go in the lift. And that came from SportsCenter or. Or gone. Gone. And it, it caught on to like the bar scene, Matt and Dayton. And then it got out of hand. And then we started making fun of us doing catchphrases and tried to do the silliest ones. Hey, Matt, what's on your mind? Hey, Dan. I. Long time caller or longtime listener? Third time caller. But I, I wanted to piggyback on the coaching in Cincinnati because I think it has a lot to do with Joe Burrow's lack of success recently. And my opinion is Zach Taylor should go. And my real question is, is who do you think would be the best coach to take him over the position? And would we go with somebody tenured or, you know, somebody we know or find somebody? I have, I have no idea. On a coaching search there, Matt. I would have no idea. You know, as far as candidates go, I have no idea. But it, you know, the Bengals kept Marvin Lewis for a long, long time. You know, too long. James in New Mexico. Hi, James. Hey, dp. Thanks for taking call. Yeah. To that point. And, and it just. The front office and organization. I don't think they care to win. I. I truly don't. And, you know, they have the slimmest recruiting staff. They're never going to fire our gm, Duke, and, you know, I. I just. Am I allowed to pick a new team just because it's just been. It's been what this organization has done? You can't go back, though. Yeah, yeah, no, I understand. I mean, I became a fan because I was three years old and, like, their helmets. Okay, who's your team? Maybe I'll start watching cricket. Oh, wow. All right. James. Yeah. You don't know. When you're growing up, like, your dad watches this team, your brother watches this team, then all of a sudden it becomes your team. And all of a sudden you get to a point where you go, what am I? Why am I rooting for this team? Michael Irvin, the playmaker. Mr. Cowboy will stop by in about a half hour. More phone calls as well. We'll have another poll question for you. One hour in the books on this Thursday. Two to go with Fritzi Seaton, Marv Poly, and yours truly. This is Sophie Cunningham from Show Me Something. Do you know the symptoms of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea, or osa, in adults with obesity? They may be happening to you without you knowing. If anyone has ever said you snored loudly, or if you spend your days fighting off excessive tiredness, irritability and concentration issues, it may be due to osa. OSA is a serious condition where your airway partially or completely collapses during sleep, which may cause breathing interruptions and oxygen deprivation.
