I dread the conversation with my son. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. Oh, I hope you had a great weekend. Gang's all here, ready to go. A lot of puzzling moments last week. We move on. Every day's the super bowl, right Marv? Unless you're the Bills. Yes, but if you get to the super bowl, you want to win, right? That's what we established last week. But dp I had time to mull over this. Oh, you did do you want to clarify this? Yes. I would rather get to the super bowl than lose in the second round. Unless you are this iteration of the Buffalo Bills. You said they have to just get there. They're not in a position to just get there. Just like the Lions and the Ravens. You're the Chargers. No, they. The Buffalo Bills need to take the next step. Now, that might not mean winning a Super bowl, but they have to move past, you know, at least the AFC title game. They're all in. You got some other teams and I said this last week, I'm surprised more teams don't follow the LA Rams blueprint. Win be all in. Now, we saw the Ravens. They're all in. They just traded for Max Crosby. You've seen it. Buffalo got their wide receiver. So you start to see some of these teams realize this window. Like the Bengals window. Did it close already? I mean it wasn't open very long and that's what you have to realize. Detroit, did their window close? San Francisco, did their window close? It's quick, but we'll talk about the Max Crosby trait. Not surprised maybe that they got two first round picks for him and good for the Raiders. Hopefully they're able to use those picks to fortify an offensive line for Fernando Mendoza. All right, Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, that's our streaming partner. It's a Monday, so best and worst of the weekend. What you saw that you liked, you didn't like.

NCAA bids Queens College, which is in Charlotte, North Carolina. Raise your hand if you knew about the Queen's Royals in Charlotte, North Carolina. I'm right there with you. I didn't. I'm. I'm like Queens College in Queens, New York. I know it's in Charlotte, North Carolina. High Point in North Carolina. Got in Northern Iowa, Liu, Tennessee State. Yes. We're punching tickets to the big dances. They like to say yes Paul, I had no idea about this school. Queen's University. Dan. In Charlotte. And they're the Royals. The Royals. The Fighting Royals. Yeah. How about that? So it's not Queens College, it's Queens University, right? I thought Queens College is in Queens, the borough of New York. This is Queens University in Charlotte, North Carolina. Yes. Todd and Liu, the primary campus of Long Island University happens to be in Brooklyn. Their secondary campus is the one that's actually on Long Island. So help me out with that. Wasn't it years ago that Charlie Sheen picked LIU to win it all? Aren't they. Are they the Blackbirds of Long Island University? Todd, they are the LIU Brooklyn Blackbirds. Okay. That is right. All right. I had to check for a second. I don't want to give you the wrong information. Know your mascots here. All right, so we'll get to your phone calls. Yes, Marvin, I just was told by the back, I was just told by the back they're the Sharks. Wait, the Liu Sharks now? Yes, I believe so. Okay. I thought two years ago, they just changed it. Oh, okay. So they didn't want to be called the Blackbirds. Now they're the Sharks. Wow. Long Island Sharks. Okay. Football. Max Crosby figured that you had to trade him. You aren't going to win now. I think the fallout from not letting him play those last two games last season wasn't going to leave Max Crosby, and they had. They had to move on from him and vice versa. They get two first round picks. The Ravens aren't normally in the top 15, and you got to go back to the Ronnie Stanley draft pick. I think that was 2016, when they had a pick in the first 15. Well, they traded it, and you get Max Crosby, and Max Crosby certainly sounds like he's a happy guy. I'm so excited. I love all of y', all, all my supporters, everyone tuning in. Football is my world, man. It's my passion. Since I was a child, I knew exactly what I wanted to do in my life, and. And that's to be the best football player in the world and help. Help win a Super bowl with whatever organization I'm with. So that never changes. It's Raider Nation for life. But right now, it's Flock Nation, and I'm all in. I'm gonna give you all everything I have in my heart and soul, man, and it's gonna be an incredible journey. And we got work to do, man, but I love you guys. I appreciate you, every single fan. Everyone tuning in. The love, you know, the hate, the love, all that Is welcome, man. And it's understandable. But it's time for this next chapter. Yeah. So Max Crosby goes to the Ravens. The Ravens are the favorites to win the AFC. Prior to getting Max Crosby, they were at plus 500. Now they're plus 450. Followed by the Bills, the Chiefs and the Chargers. In the nfc, the Rams, they're the favorites, followed by the Seahawks, the Eagles and the Packers. And you start to look at players who have been traded for two first round picks. Now this is recently. So Max Crosby, to be determined how this plays out. Sauce Gardner, he was traded for two first round picks, missed the playoffs. Micah Parsons with Green Bay. Russell Wilson, that didn't end well. Deshaun Watson, that didn't end well. Matthew Stafford won a Super Bowl. Jamal Adams, that didn't end well. Jalen Ramsey won a Super Bowl. Khalil Mack played well, but the team never really improved. And Laramie Tunsil, limited playoff success for the Texans. Those are the players, recent players who have been traded for multiple first round picks. Also you start to think about this. The Seahawks spent the fourth most money in free agency last year and they won the Super Bowl. The Patriots spent the most in free agency. They went to the Super Bowl. The Bears spent the ninth most in free agency. They went from 5 and 12 to 11 and 6. I would tell any of these teams, any of these general managers that would listen, you have the opportunity and we, we said this, we say this all the time, they'll be back next year. There is no guarantee. We know that. I don't care how good your quarterback is or your roster. You know Joe Burrow, he's a great quarterback. They got two great receivers, but they don't have a great team. They may never get back to a Super Bowl. In the Joe Burrow era, if I am New England, if I'm Buffalo, I'm the Ravens, I'm the Rams, I'm all in. What's it going to take? Because I, I want something that I know is proof of, you know, concept there. I want to somebody who has a sample size, I can go, I'm going to take that defensive back from the Chiefs and we're going to be ready to roll. That's what you want. You know, the Ravens traded for somebody they know is already great. Buffalo picked up DJ Moore. They already know his track record. You got an opportunity, you know Seattle, I wouldn't do this. Well, we want a Super Bowl, I go right back in. Now you might be losing your running back. You're going to lose A couple of players, but you got to fortify that team. You got the opportunity, go all in. Yes. Eaton, do you think that this is an anomaly or more of a trend, that sort of teams moving in the direction of valuing a proven commodity over the potential of the draft? Well, I think teams, GMs love potential. It's like, oh, that guy, right? But I like to know that that guy that I'm looking at, he's already been an all pro Pro bowl player. He's. He's proven that he can play. Not the. Oh, the potential that guys get fired for. Potential. Mm. It's rare when you get fired, when you get somebody who's like, Max Crosby is really good. Now there might be a defensive lineman in the draft and you go, boy, that he's got the potential. They always have the potential to be somebody that's already playing in the NFL normally. Like, he could be the next Miles Garrett. He could be the neck. We'll go out and get that guy. And that's what the Ravens did, getting Max Crosby. You know, the Cowboys were in on this, too. I'm not sure what their final offer was, but I think at first it was a couple of first round picks and a player. Turns out it's a couple of players, you know, like A.J. brown. The Patriots reportedly offered, I think, a first and a second, and they wanted a player as well. And I thought AJ Brown would probably be dealt before Max Crosby would be. But there's always today or the rest of this week with free agency. The Dolphins just announced that they will release Tuatanga Bialoa. And I think he can sit and watch football just like us this season and make almost $50 million, and he doesn't even have to get off his couch. Yes, Paul? Yeah. I'm looking at the contract for Tua, and I think if he does not play football whatsoever this year, he would make $56,300,000 guaranteed. Okay. I don't see any way around it for the Dolphins. Okay. Yikes for him. Good for him. Feels like there's going to be a landing spot. It's probably going to be once Kyler goes, and then you'll have. Maybe Domino's here. You know, there's a chance Geno Smith ends up back with the Jets. Hasn't he suffered enough? Dolphins, I would just say we got Quinn Ewers, we'll get another quarterback and let's ride this this year out. Let's just write this season off as a loss and maybe you get a quarterback in the Draft next year. All right. 877-3-DP show email address dp@danpatrick.com Twitter handle @DP Show we say good morning to our radio affiliates. Iheartradio, Fox Sports Radio. I was watching the spurs yesterday, and I've said this, I said this early in the season. Hey, maybe they're a year ahead of schedule. Now. The more I keep watching, they're kind of like the Patriots, where you go, yeah, Patriots. They're a year ahead of schedule. We kept saying that for most of the regular season. And then what happened? The Patriots go to the Super Bowl. Maybe the spurs aren't a year ahead of schedule. Maybe they're right on schedule. And what you saw yesterday, it's just rare to see somebody who is that tall be that athletic handle touch. Shooting form is great, both ends of the floor. And they put up a number on the Houston Rockets in San Antonio. I don't think they're ahead of schedule. It feels like they're right on schedule. And the Celtics, with Jayson Tatum easing him back into the lineup, maybe not exactly easing. They put him in and, you know, playing 27 minutes and look good over the weekend. Look good against the Mavs. I think the Celtics are the team to be watching the Lakers yesterday with the Knicks, and it wasn't great basketball, but, you know, you're watching two heavyweights of sorts kind of slug it out a little bit there. And Luca takes some wild shots, man. He makes some wild shots, too, between him and Lamelo Ball. I mean, those guys take wild shots. Wild. And it's pretty. I mean, these are deep, deep shots. Falling out of bounds, you know, threes. Yes, Marvin, Those guys take horse shots. You're supposed to shoot that. Oh, I thought I heard something else. I thought you said horse shots. Horse. Oh, like the game horse. Yes. And then a shot. Yes, the shot you would take in the game. Horse. Right. Okay. And he makes him sometimes like, oh, what a shot. And then when he misses it, oh, what a stupid shot. Why would you keep doing that? But when you see Wemby break you down on in transition or fast break, he beats you off the dribble. And you're going, oh, my goodness. And that form for anybody. Beautiful shooting form. And he's 22 years of age. Yeah. Paul, I would love to know the defensive scouting report on Wembanyama. Like, what do you want him to do? Because it doesn't appear he has a weakness or like a regular move that he only goes to. I can't imagine what the Scouting report is, well, if you go back to his rookie season and I said, you're doing an injustice. This is like not getting a good offensive line for a quarterback. They didn't have a point guard who would put him in position to succeed. Now he knows he's got spots. All these great players, any great scorer has a spot or spots. Don't let him get you there. If he gets you there, he's going to dominate. You know, Jordan would get you on the low block and then, you know, lights out. Certain guys. If I get you there on the wing, I'm going to beat you off to the dribble. And you, you see that now with Wemby. And I think Stefan Castle and Darren Fox have done a wonderful job looking for him or waiting for him to get to a spot because he kind of floated in the paint and then he never really was comfortable there and he'd get it. And he seemed a little flummoxed. Man, he got a basketball iq. Yes, Marv. And then when you see the spurs play, they have great spacing. They shot 50% from three point range yesterday. Those guys were wide open because they know where to go when Wimy gets the ball in his spot, like you said. And Dylan Harper's contributing as well, but I mean, he should be if you're the second pick in the draft. But you know, they got some depth there and. But you got to watch them because they, they have some players that you're probably not that familiar with. But Wemby can't take my eyes off of him. Yeah, Paulie, he's even a good free throw shooter. Shoots 83% from the free throw line. You think there'd be a weakness where, oh, we'll hack the guy. And he shoots 72%. He doesn't even have that. I know. Got beautiful form. Yes. Marv, is there any way he can win the MVP this year or is it just too far gone with Joker? Well, if these other players don't qualify, I don't think Joker's winning it. I still think he's the best player in the, in the game. But if you're looking for value of what Wemby has done, I mean, I gotta look at Jalen Brown too. I mean, let's be honest, I thought this was a lost year for the Celtics. And Jalen Brown, you know, has them in the number two seed. They're just getting Tatum back. But if you have it by default, and that's not really fair to these players, but it might be by default that, you know these guys don't qualify, then Wemby might be able to do it. You know, you got 20 games. We'll talk to Reggie Miller about that. He'll join us in a little bit. All right, phone calls, Best and worst of the weekend and we'll settle on a poll question as well.

The nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history. Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict. A villain, a nurse named Lucy Letby. Lucy Letby has been found guilty. But what if we didn't get the whole story? The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses. I'm Amanda Knox and in the new podcast the Case of Lucy Letby, we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived it to ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy Letby was. No voicing of any skepticism or doubt. It'll cause so much harm at every single level of the British establishment of this is wrong. Listen to Doubt the Case of Lucy Letby on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. China's Ministry of State Security is one of the most mysterious and powerful spy agencies in the world. But in 2017, the FBI got inside. This is Special Agent Riegel, Special Agent Bradley Hall. This MSS officer has no idea the US government is onto him. But the FBI has his chats, texts, emails, even his personal diary. Hear how they got it on the sixth Bureau podcast. I now have several terabytes of an MSS officer, no doubt, no question of his life. And that's a unicorn. No one had ever seen anything like that. It was unbelievable. This is a story of the inner workings of the MSS and how one man's ambition and mistakes opened its vault of secrets. Listen to the 6th Bureau on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. We will get to your phone calls. Best and Worst of the weekend877 3DP show come up with a poll question as well. Chiefs, Browns, Raiders, Jets, Cowboys, all with two first round picks will be there in Pittsburgh for the draft. And with the Raiders on the clock with that first pick and whatever they're able to do with all the money, they got more money than anybody else in free agency this year. This is where you build that foundation and could prove provide some dividends here. You get linemen here. Brady probably more involved in this but if you're able to get some of those guys up front, which is where you win Super Bowls, you know the difference between Seattle and New England was up front. Seattle won that. They were better up front than the Patriots were. All right, so Seaton, what's poll Question here for the first hour of the program. Well, we got one here from Paul dude. More questionable signing Cardinals and Kyler or Dolphins and Tua, I would say, I mean Kyler had some like three or four really respectable if not good seasons. Tua and the Dolphins teased us a couple years ago because we thought, man, with that offense, defense was decent. You got fast guys, you got a play calling quarter coach, you're ready to go. Tua is going to stay healthy and then all of a sudden it went south in a hurry. And if I'm the Dolphins, I just basically write this off as we're going to be. We're going to be. We're going to be in the lottery for the number one pick in the draft. Don't spend any money on a quarterback. And if you do, you bring in somebody who is reasonable. Now they might go out and get Malik Willis, but they, I would, I would not do that. As much as I like Malik Willis, if I'm the Dolphins, you need help. And maybe you look at next year, you want to get that quarterback on that five year contract, maybe you get your starter. I have Quinn Ewers in there, I bring in somebody as the backup and then maybe you get, you know, maybe you find out a couple of things. Maybe that's important. Yeah, Paul, the two assigning a couple of years ago is, is kind of interesting because remember in 2022 he had the three concussions in that season and he had a nice season. But I found tons of articles that said you can't sign Tua, you can't extend him. So they didn't extend him after that 2022 season. They let him play his fourth season. 4,500 yards, 70% passer, 30 touchdowns, one of the best quarterbacks in the AFC. And then they had to make the decision stick or go at that point and they stuck. Yeah, I understand it, but I said at the time I, I wasn't going to do that. I would not do that. Kyler Murray said the same thing. I would not do that just because I didn't trust him. You know, his was more of effort with two as more of just the health. But it's hard not to sign him when he puts up those numbers. But now you got a guy making $50 million, you're paying $50 million to and he's not going to play. More than likely. Yeah. See, it does seem interesting that teams are more following like the Denver Broncos model of how to handle contracts post Russell Wilson. You know what, let's just eat this for a year or two, have it. It's gonna suck. But, man, are we gonna be better off on the. On the other side of it, it seems to be less. You know, you're not as hamstrung by owed money. It's like, forget it. Let's just. We're gonna pay it anyway. We might as well just move on. Yeah. And I think what Denver did. But Denver. Denver was helped by the trade, or Seattle was helped by that trade with Russell Wilson. So they were very smart to go, we're not going to pay this guy. And Denver was like, hey, all we're missing is a franchise quarterback. And then you realize that he's the reason why you're not going to be winning. And you're right. Write it off. Made a mistake, you know, And I thought the Browns were going to do the same thing with desean Watson. I talked to somebody yesterday who said they're really encouraged by deshaun Watson, his progress. I'm like, yeah, I think he was a healthy scratch last year. Put him out there. You're paying him $45 million. You know, you've already taken the PR hit because you brought in this guy. But I wonder if they're going to extend DeSean Watson's contract, which would be crazy to think about, but they might. Isn't that wild? All right. Yeah. Paul. All right. If you're the head coach, the new head coach, Jeff Halfley of the Dolphins, I wonder what your expectations are for this season and what your team wants you to do this season. Do they want you to win ball games? Yeah, you're right. Because he's going in. He wants to set the world on fire. It's like, I've. I'm a head coach, I want to win, and then, hey, this is who you got to win with. And I mean, I wonder, do you keep Jalen Waddle? As. As valuable as he is, I. I probably would trade him as well. Take it down to the foundation, down to the studs, and then, you know, just decide. Take it to down to the studs. Yes, Todd. And is it realistic you're going to catch the Patriots and Bills anytime soon, at least in the very near future? You forget about the jets, but you got two teams that are dominant teams in the AFC in your division there. Yeah. Take the year off. You technically have to play the games. You do have to. Yeah, I do have to play the games. Yes. But let's see. Chris in Syracuse leads us off on this Monday. Good morning, Chris. What's on your mind? Hey, thanks, Dan. I got a best and worst in a comment. My comment, I don't like the idea of the US government making executive orders when it comes to college sports or any sports. I have faith the NCAA and the conferences will work things out. And my worst to LeBron James, who missed the Lakers last two games. He's had nagging injuries all year and the Lakers are 92 this year when the duo of Luka and Austin Reaves play together. And LeBron's out. And LeBron at 41, missing games because of sciatica and arthritis. To quote our friend Buddha, not good. And my best to the NBA Saturday night having who I think is no doubt the face of your league for years to come. Care so much, get so emotional, actually brought to tears over regular season win. Wemby is a unicorn in so many ways. And also Wemby and his spurs in so many ways are the antithesis of Tim Duncan and his Spurs. The NBA has to love that. Thank you, Chris. Yeah, he got emotional. They came back, they were down, whatever, 25 to the Clippers. And people are like, he came back and beat the Clippers. He's 22 years of age, he's playing hard and he got caught up in, you know, these are the kind of wins that are more than just one victory where, you know, collectively you do something. And I think that's probably what he saw. I mean, it's his team. He's 22. It's his team. Cooper flag is 19. It's his team. This is mind bending for me when you think about these are guys going against grown men and they've only been in the league. Well, Cooper Flag, his first year, Wemby a couple of years and now you're leading a team. I mean, I thought, what magic did his rookie year for the Lakers, winning a championship coming out of college, but he was more seasoned than these guys. Yes. Paulie, You said the Miami Dolphins should get it down to the studs. They are trading Minka Fitzpatrick, the defensive back, to the New York jets in Exchange for a 2026 seventh round draft pick. Seventh round. The jets, this is from Adam. Schefter will sign Minka Fitzpatrick to a three year, 40 million deal. Year deal. Okay. Wow. President Trump said that he will write an executive order within a week that will solve all the problems brought forth in an unprecedented meeting at the White House. He's looking at the future of college sports. We have more on this coming up. Top of the hour. But he was hosting the Saving College Sports Roundtable. I Know, it sounds like there's a possibility here, but an executive order can't make a law. It can't provide antitrust exemptions or override state laws, or any policies in the executive order can be challenged in court. So, you know, you bring all these people together, former coaches, former players, you got, you know, people from networks, you got athletic directors. I mean, here's the. Here's what jumped out at me. First of all, I don't think this is going to do anything. Second of all, why don't you have a current coach or coaches and current player or players? Those are the voices that I would want to hear from, not guys who aren't coaching anymore. Nick Saban, he can be the voice of college football. But I'd like to have a coat. Put Lane Kiffin in there, put Trinidad Chambliss in there, let them talk about what it's like to be a current player. And just because, you know, all of these presidents and chancellors, you know, made the mistake on their watch of allowing this to happen, I can't go back and put the toothpaste in the tube. Can't do it. You can try. Good luck. It's not going to work, and nothing's going to work this quickly. But Ross Dellinger, who was covering the event on Friday at the White House, the college football reporter for Yahoo, will join us at the top of the hour. Gus in LA. Hi, Gus. Welcome back. Good morning, Mr. Patrick. Hope you and the boys had a great weekend. Best and worst of the weekend, man. You know, I don't think we talk about marathons much on this show, but this morning we're going to. American Nathan Martin won the Los Angeles marathon yesterday by 0.01 seconds. Closest race or closest finish in the history of the race. The worst of the weekend is Michael Camus losing the Los Angeles Marathon by 0.01. After leading the entire race, he actually made a bit of a blunder. He followed the camera bike, the motorcycle with the camera on it. He followed it as the bike went out of the course, and he had to go back and return to the course, which allowed American Nathan Morton to close the gap in record time. You boys have a great week. Thank you, Gus. I didn't see the story. I wasn't aware of it. But imagine you're running over 26 miles and you lose by less than a second. Yes, Paulie. Yeah. The guy who won, the American, Nathan Martin, he was losing by 30, maybe 30 yards with 200 meters, 30 yards to go. Meters, I guess. And it Was a literal photo finish at the end. He hit the tape just before him. Buddha in San Francisco. Good morning, Buddha. What's on your mind? What up, DP? Happy Monday, boys. Shout out to the BRGs, baby. Dan, you're looking good in the main cave today. And I got a real quick 5 minute poll question for you guys. Are the Jets, Dan? Are they the Washington Wizards of football? Best of the week, best of the weekend. And watching all the World Baseball Classic action this weekend, it was like really entertaining and fun to watch. And I mean, just watching Shohei Ohtani is just, he's just doing work for Japan, man. This should be a great showdown as all the teams come down and the final championship works its way to fruition. Must see tv, man. And worst of the weekend in watching the Lakers win this weekend without LeBron, you know, against the Knicks. And it's just like a legit force of a team, right? I mean, it just speaks volumes as to where we're at as a Lakers team. I mean, Austin Reeves is really the one bright spot we have. And Luca, I mean, he's just like a petulant child. He needs to see a therapist. And LeBron, I mean, as Todd's Valley girl would say, yeah. Oh, do you just need to retire? Thank you, Buddha. Yeah. The World Baseball Classic, there's. There's energy showing up. I was watching Puerto Rico in Panama and all of a sudden Puerto Rico walks it off. And, you know, I mean, it was playoff baseball. I go back to the four nations tournament. The intensity rivaled playoff hockey, Olympic basketball. We saw that, you know, we saw that with the Olympics, with hockey. I mean, Tarek Skubal, the Cy Young winner with the Tigers, was going to pitch one time for Team usa. I think he got caught up in it. Now he's kind of petitioned the Tigers to, can I get one more start here? I love it. You know, when players represent cities, they compete for standings, but when you represent your country, it's something completely different. The stakes are larger, the moments are louder, and suddenly exhibition baseball feels like the World Series. And it's been fun to watch, but when you get those crowds, the home crowds, instead of maybe a sterile crowd that, you know, the two countries aren't from that city, you know, then you don't get the ambiance. But, man, when you watch Ohtani, I was watching Korea against Australia and, and granted, these aren't the best rosters, but you, you are seeing the atmosphere of what it means to them. See Jim in Colorado. Hi, Jim. What's on Your mind today. Hey, I got a question for you. And I know I'm pretty hyped on this for a Monday. I had called up your your show five years ago and I love your show. You guys are great. I want to say that right off the bat, but I had called up there about five years ago and told you that it was a mistake drafting Tua and a lefty quarterback. Now there it is again, out $50 million, nothing to show for it. And that's my example of why I'm giving you guys a call. These GMs, they need to go back and watch Draft the movie because I guarantee you they're not drafting the right players. That should be for their organization, for their system. And look at all these quarterbacks that are getting paid all this money. Except Sam Darnold back Minnesota, who was a complete idiot organization that gave up him and then now he went to Seattle and won a Super Bowl. My point is I'm right. TUA was a bust. He was a bust from the beginning. And out all this money. And I just want to hear your take on it about some of these players that they draft to give all this money to, especially quarterbacks, and they don't prove it. Like Mahomes, who just took $30 million as a cut to try to help his team get other players. Okay, he shifted money. He didn't take a cut. He shifted money to. It wasn't a bust. He's somewhere in between now. You know, he's kicking, you know, cans down the road making $50 million, not doing anything. But he didn't resign himself and he did put up some, you know, he had a couple of seasons where he, you know, he played pretty well. The Dolphins were all in on Joe Burrow. They were willing to give, I think four or five first round picks and it didn't happen. Yes, you know, to a, not a big arm, but, you know, he played at a big university, he played at a football power. Now, does Alabama tend to inflate their quarterbacks? Yeah, I think we've seen that down through history. But Miami got him. You thought they had something. You had Tua, you had Tyreek, and you had Waddle. And that's what you need in today's NFL. You know, the concussions. Thankfully, they haven't really come back. But I don't know if anybody's going to pick him up to be a starter. But yeah, he's somewhere in between a bust because he did put up a couple of really good seasons. Yes, Paul. Yeah, Tua as a starter in six years was 44 and 32. His average season was 3,900 yards, 26 touchdowns. Those are nice numbers for a career. It's just you have to dive into the different areas of his career in different points.

The packers are finalizing a deal to send defensive lineman Rashawn Gary to the Cowboys in exchange for a late 2020. 27. 2027 draft pick. Not 26. 27. Okay. That's nice. They like. They like the Packer defensive lineman. Round of applause from Seaton. Okay. All right. All right, Dallas, get in there. Yeah, but they were trying for Max Crosby, but I don't know what the offer was. And Gary's been a nice player, although, I mean, he's such a big guy. What's his number eight? Like that doesn't it? It's always weird. I thought was Gary 52. Was Kenneth Murray 8. Oh, no. You're Packers. Yeah. Marvin. I think Jared Verse is a single digit guy. I think he wears number eight. Yeah. Oh, he wears eight. I believe so. Yes. I thought Gary wore eight for the Packers. I got him at 52. Eight was, I think, the. The linebacker, Kenneth Murray or someone like that. Walker. If you played. If you guys played, would you get a normal number, like, to your position or would you go, like, completely out of bounds? Could do an hour on this. Yeah. Sorry, I didn't mean to blow up the whole week of shows. Really? That's a great topic. Oh, my God. Okay, so what position am I playing? What would you. What would you like to be? You'd be defensive end, if you want. Defensive end, Sure. I want to be quarterback, of course. Okay, you're gonna be the quarterback then. Okay. You'll be like 88 as a quarterback. Something weird. No, because they have rules of what numbers you can have. I don't think they do anymore. Oh, they don't? No, that's like. Yeah, that's kind of the whole point of the question is they don't have those rules anymore. So you can be a linebacker and wear seven or something. Like, Doug Flutie was 22 in college. John Hadel was number 21. That was awesome. Played in the NFL. He's Shuler. Was he 20 in college or 22? I think so. Was he. And then he was. Was he five in the NFL? Yeah. Or was he just the fifth pick in the NFL? Bernie Kosar, Miami. Number 20. Yeah. Yeah. That was awesome. I think I'd be like number 11 if I'm an edge rusher. It just makes you look a little faster. Yes. 11 is a good call. It's sleek. It's slimming. Yeah. Certain numbers. But then we equate that to offensive lineman. Like his number 63. We can't be fast, but 11. Yes. Marvin, there's. There was nothing better when I was a kid. Lavar Arrington at Penn State. Number 11. He was the linebacker. Yeah. Beautiful. Yeah. Yes. Todd, don't you want to be that imposing 75 or 77. Like, that's usually to me. Or 99. Those are those big guys. 95. Yeah, but that's old school. You're. You're thinking back to Mean Joe Green. I would still want to. I just. I think there's something imposing about the number. Like in the mid-70s or 99, who was. Was Carl Mecklenburg number 77. He was. And Rulon Jones was 75. Yeah. See, that's. That's. We're tapping into your Bronco days. I'm talking about now where you could be number nine when Jadavian Clowney wasn't he number nine? Is that right? I believe he was number seven. At South Carolina. Yeah, maybe. Yeah. Yeah. Or like Marvin Austin at North Carolina. He was like 6, 5, 300, wearing 9. It just the, you know, the jersey gets stretched so much. It's one number. Yeah. Paul, my favorite one, about eight, nine years ago, there was this really good nose tackle, defensive lineman Lewis Nix for Notre Dame, and he was huge. He was like 6, 3, 3, 40, number one. So good. He took one. Sid in Baltimore. Good morning, Sid. How's morale? Hi, Dan. I'm calling in because, number one, I'm off of school because of parent teacher conferences. So it's one of the best days of the year. I'm going to ask you what the expectations are after the Ravens landing Max Crosby. I have a sports podcast called not what I Meant, and I personally think that it's super bowl or bust, but I also think that that's the expectation every year. So I don't know. Yeah, it should be. It should be. How about you win a playoff game? How about Lamar plays well, but yeah, if you're giving up a couple of first round draft picks and you're bringing Max Crosby in. Yes. You're looking at Buffalo. You're looking at the Chiefs probably again, you know, the Chargers, These teams in the afc, they're going to be all in. Yes. Eaton, by the way, not what I meant. The. The podcast hosted by Liam and Sid. Not just Sid. It's not a solo podcast and it's okay. Two middle schoolers from Baltimore, Sid and Liam, are bringing you the angles of sports that will make you reconsider your views. Yeah, but Sid took the title though. He took credit creator. He is listed as the creator of Sid's Rundown Recap, which is a sports newsletter as well. You know, I'd like to give a shout out to Liam. All right, all right.
