Minister of humor Fritzi Dylan is in Seaton's chair. Dylan is on. Well, he's on a high alert here running the poll question. Just want to make sure you live up to those expectations. Reviews were mixed yesterday on your performance, but every day is the Super Bowl. So I expect you to play at a really high level today, as high as possible. Thank you. Well, maybe I shouldn't use the word high with you. My bad. But we're glad to have you in the seat. Seaton will check in. Seaton is on his way to Winchester, Virginia.

Operator Tyler sitting by 8773 DP Show Email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle @DP Show all right, so we'll talk to Nick about Kansas City, how great they are. Dynasty. And I do think they took the blueprint from what the Patriots did, but they've done it in a, in a truncated version. So it took, you know, New England, you had three, and then there was a long drought and then they came back again. Kansas City's done it in a concentrated amount of time, which makes it far more impressive this first hour. Brought to you by moo. Back on the road.

The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show. Cowboys introduced their new head coach. Jerry Jones certainly felt like that. It felt like it was Jerry Jones being introduced as the head coach instead of Brian Schottenheimer, shoddy as they like to call him. The Raiders introduced Pete Carroll, the Jags introduced Liam Cohen, and the jets said hello to Aaron Glenn. We'll look at all four of these situations. I look at the quarterbacking situations with all four of these coaches because let's start with Aaron Glenn. He's not sure if Aaron Rodgers is going to be his quarterback. He said he's kind of open discussions talking to Aaron, but I mean, next week maybe you make a decision, come. You know, you got to get a decision here soon. But what's your backup option there for the jets and Aaron Glenn? Liam Cohen goes from Baker Mayfield Jr. III to taking over the Jags. And Trevor Lawrence would appear to be in a pretty good position to maybe revitalize him just like he did with Baker Mayfield. The Raiders with Pete Carroll feels like Sam Darnold is on the front burner here. Got to get your quarterback now. As I said when Pete was inter, when it was announced that he got the job, I said, what about Russell Wilson here? Because if I'm the Steelers, I'm looking at Justin Fields moving forward, not Russell Wilson. But I have no idea what Mike Tomlin and Arthur Smith are planning on. It would help if you got a couple of weapons, no matter who the quarterback's going to be. But I might see Russ available for reuniting with Pete Carroll. Cowboy situation. Brian Schottenheimer, who didn't call the plays last year, but is going to call the plays now as the head coach and he's stuck with Dak Prescott and that contract. That's $231 million for a 32 year old quarterback who is injury prone. So he's a good quarterback. Dak is probably the best option of all of these quarterbacks. You know, maybe we see Trevor Lawrence live up to what I think everybody thought he was going to certainly that contract as well. But I'm looking at those situations, trying to figure out who's going into a good situation. Brian Schottenheimer, I think we know the situation he's going into. Aaron Glenn wanted the job and if you look, Aaron Glenn is a former New York Jet first round pick, so he kind of knows the landscape there. The Jags with Liam Cohen, I gotta be honest, I didn't know much about Him. I still don't know much about him. I'd still like to hear exactly what happened when you were entertaining this offer, going back to Tampa, telling Baker Mayfield you're coming back, and then all of a sudden, you end up as the Jags head coach. I get it. I mean, I understand why you took the job. I just. I don't know. The timeline's a little weird, and I guess I'm curious about that. But, you know, what he's saying is basically, hey, let's just move on. Here is Liam Cohen on passing up and couldn't pass up this opportunity.
- [08:18]
Dan Patrick
The opportunity to coach in Tampa was. Was a phenomenal one to get my feet wet in the NFL as the offensive coordinator, and I thank them so much for that opportun. As you continue to do more research and gain in more information as you go, it started to become, you know, more clear with every hour that this was an opportunity that you just can't pass up, and you ultimately want to do truly what's best for you and your family. And that's what this came down to.
- [08:47]
Nick Wright
Okay, let's do an emergency. Fill in the blank. After watching Liam Cohen at his press conference yesterday, you get. You get one word to describe him. Todd. Liam Cohen is blank.
- [08:59]
Dan Patrick
Corny.
- [09:00]
Nick Wright
Dylan. Adorable.
- [09:04]
Dan Patrick
All right.
- [09:07]
Nick Wright
Okay. I didn't have that on my bingo card. Marvin Dorky. Oh, Duvall, let me hear it. Duvall. It. It had a little bit of. Here's Johnny Paulie.
- [09:29]
Dan Patrick
Quirky in a good way.
- [09:31]
Nick Wright
Well, if he wins, then we forget about all of this stuff. I mean, I'm sure Jacksonville media, they're glad to have him. And let's go. Let's fix our quarterback and let's get back into the postseason. Tampa Bay still a little frosty of how that divorce happened. Divorce? Yes. Todd, do you not want your coach to come across a little intimidating on in some way, shape or form if you're a fan of a team that wants to move to the next level? Not that you got to be a jerk and nasty to the press, but there's got to be a middle ground. Was he too nice for you? You wanted more of the Aaron Glenn where Aaron Glenn's fiery. I think I do because I'm pissed off. I want my team to, you know, this is a joke. All these years, it's time I want my coach to be kind of angry and less silly, goofy looking. All right, here's Aaron Glenn, the Jets head coach yesterday. Players, that's here. Now put your seat belts on and get ready for the ride. Put your seat belts on and get.
- [10:26]
Dan Patrick
Ready for the ride.
- [10:26]
Nick Wright
Listen, there are going to be some challenges, but with challenges becomes opportunity, gets opportunity. But here's what I do know. We're the freaking New York jets, so we're built for this. Who's with me? Come, let's go. All right. He's a podium pounder, and that bothers me. Oh, yeah. Saban did that a little bit. I'm not a. You know. Hey, you're. You're a podium pounder. Yes.
- [10:51]
Dan Patrick
That's your punctuation when you're a coach, the podium. Saban did that for years. I think that's like, I'm ready to hit someone, but I can't, so I gotta hit this piece of wood.
- [11:01]
Nick Wright
So, Fritzi, you like Aaron Glenn? You'd want to play for Aaron Glenn. I want someone that says, you know, bite kneecaps, not like, massage them gently. Okay. That would be how I would say that. All right. Dylan finds Liam Cohen adorable. I'm guessing that would be an ideal quarterback for. Or a coach for you. Yeah.
- [11:18]
Dan Patrick
And I find Glad and saying where the New York jets were built for.
- [11:22]
Nick Wright
This, I don't think that's true. Liam Cohen, by the way, former college quarterback, I think, at UMass and actually had a really nice career there. Brian Schottenheimer. That's just a kind of a. I don't know how to describe that. Press. I. I've seen a lot of press conferences. I've attended a lot of press conferences with some of the biggest names who've ever coached. That's as weird as I've ever witnessed a press conference where it became. It was a little bit about Brian Schottenheimer. It was a whole lot about Jerry Jones, a whole lot about Jerry. Brian Schottenheimer remembering his father, Marty. He starts to cry, and it was like a nice moment. And then Jerry has to bring up that he, too, lost his dad. And then he. He started crying as well.
- [12:15]
Dan Patrick
He hijacked it.
- [12:16]
Nick Wright
And I'm going, wait, did your dad just die, Jerry? No, it became like Jerry. I. It felt like Jerry was taking over the Cowboys as their head coach. It really did. And he kept, you know, he was talking about this that, you know, I took a big risk on that. Like, it felt like Brian Schottenheimer wasn't there. But one of my favorite moments was when Stephen Jones, Jerry's son, the Cowboys president, had this to say.
- [12:47]
Dan Patrick
Well, I think we. You know, you always have to evaluate, you know, where. Where it didn't go right last year. And Obviously, we're also evaluating where it didn't go. Right. You know, in terms of, you know, this drought that people say we're in in terms of a championship game or a Super bowl. And, you know, we just have to continue to make this roster better.
- [13:10]
Nick Wright
He did air quotes around the word drought. You know, it's real. He made it seem like, oh, you guys have brought up this drought. It's 30 years. That's. That's a real drought. Yes, Todd, what's. People say we're in. All you got to do is look at the records of the last 30 years. It's there, like, in black and white. That's not a theory. That they actually did go to a couple of Super Bowls, and we just all missed it. We were. We were like Rip Van Winkle. We woke up, and we missed some of the champions. It's not a rumor that you haven't been to a Super Bowl. It's. It's fact. I don't need a second source on this, Stephen. And the fact when he went air quotes with a drought, and I went, oh, my God, are we delusional here? Yes, Dylan, to put into perspective, that drought is older than I am. So if that helps you visualize it a little bit. Yeah.
- [14:09]
Dan Patrick
Paulie, you use air quotes when something isn't real. Like back when I was in jail. No, you were in jail, dude. You actually were in jail. You served time.
- [14:17]
Nick Wright
Well, you know, my wife is pregnant. Air quotes. No, no. She either is or isn't. Yes, Todd. Chris Farley used to do a skit with air quotes.
- [14:26]
Dan Patrick
Like, when on the news.
- [14:27]
Nick Wright
Seminary people say, I'm overweight, slovenly. It was fascinating. It really was, to watch that. And here's Jerry trying to convince you that he knows football. His dad taught him football. Hey, I took a risk on shoddy here. It was as if Brian Schottenheimer wasn't there. Here is. Here's Jerry on his comfort zone. If you don't think I can't operate out of my comfort zone, you're so wrong. It's unbelievable. This is as big a risk as you can take. As big a risk as you could take. No head coaching experience. Okay. Why he's. He's motioning with Brian Schottenheimer with his thumb, like, this guy. I took a risk. You didn't have to. Mike Vrabel is not a risk. Or Ben Johnson, probably not a risk, but I took. I'm out of my comfort zone, and I'm going. You don't have to be. Hell Higher, Dion. God. I mean, I know it's too late, but that would have made more sense of what the Cowboys have become like. I don't know what it is, but you got to watch it. It may be a car accident, and it's not pretty, but I. You're going to watch it. Then we got Pete Carroll. Pete Carroll's fired up. Somebody said, hey, every time Pete mentions Tom Brady, you got to do a shot. I would have been hammered quickly. Here is Pete Carroll, the Raiders head coach. He's been integrally involved, you know, wherever.
- [16:16]
Dan Patrick
Wherever.
- [16:17]
Nick Wright
I know that the process could allow.
- [16:18]
Dan Patrick
Him to be in. Seen him, you know, he's not been here.
- [16:21]
Nick Wright
He's got a big job, but he has been a really exciting part of it. Pete is a fast talker, by the way. Whenever we'd interview him, I'd be like, man, just slow down a little bit, Pete. But he. He's ready. He's got energy. Yes, yes, Mark. And a lot of times he's chewing.
- [16:39]
Dan Patrick
Gum, which makes it even harder to understand him.
- [16:41]
Nick Wright
Yeah, Pete, he's ready to go. His age is going to be mentioned just about every time they show Pete Carroll on TV. Was he the soon to be 74 year old? The oldest coach in NFL history? I think soon to be 74. Gotta say that it's a prerequisite when you tune into Raider games. Yes, Todd. When he enthusiastically runs down the sideline, we gotta worry if he's gonna break his hip or something like that. They're gonna have to have the interim come in week three, he's not gonna have a walker. Yes, Paulie.
- [17:10]
Dan Patrick
In week three, next year, he'll be 74 years old.
- [17:13]
Nick Wright
All right. Okay, okay, we'll take a break. Nick Wright's had a lot to say. The Fox Sports 1 host, and he thinks Kansas City Chiefs might be the greatest team of all time. He'll explain that.

- [22:24]
Nick Wright
Nick Wright, host of First Things first on Fox Sports 1, and what's right with Nick Wright. You can find it on YouTube wherever you get your podcast. Great to see you again. By the way, Sunday morning, Paulie says, let's book Nick Wright win or lose. So just so you know, we. We wanted to have you on whether the Chiefs won or not.
- [22:44]
Dan Patrick
No, that's a lie. Really wanted to have me on if they lost.
- [22:49]
Nick Wright
Well, that would have been, maybe sadly.
- [22:51]
Dan Patrick
For you and Paulie, and more accurately, almost everyone else in the media, I get to be right again. And amazingly, I now I'm on a two year run of being like, hey, the team with the best quarterback, the best coach, and one of the best defenses all take them. While everyone's like, did you see what the Lions did to the Jags? Dan Campbell really has them pulling in the right direction. Oh, have you seen the Bills point differential for five years now? The Ravens are one of the. How do you stop the offense? Even though they lost six games this year. And I'm like, I don't know. Chiefs win every super bowl, so I think they'll probably win this one too high.
- [23:37]
Nick Wright
Wow.
- [23:39]
Dan Patrick
I'm. I'm angry. I'm angry at how last week got hijacked. I'm angry at folks. Instead of just being like, I'm sorry, I was wrong. Creating a nonsense conspiracy. I'm angry at the way we cover.
- [23:57]
Nick Wright
Wait, all these. Are we talking about?
- [24:00]
Dan Patrick
Who are we not talking about? I'm so the. The conspiracy stuff. Mainstream media let the tail wag the dog in that the Internet's talking about it. So I guess it's the story. I don't know, man. ML Football and Dove Kleinman got 9,000 retweets on this still shot photo of a potential hold. So I guess it's gotta be the B block today. And then a Twitter account with 12 million followers says, relief is on the way. Football fans, relief is on the way. Finish the thought if you're going to put it out there. Finish the thought. Relief from what? A rigged game?
- [24:47]
Nick Wright
Why do you say, why do you think Adam Schefter put that out there?
- [24:51]
Dan Patrick
Because everyone has had their brain rotted by an algorithm. And it's like, man, this sure gets engagement. And I get why the faceless, nameless accounts do it. It's literally how they make their living. I get it. Like, I don't respect it, but I understand it. I look at that honestly. No different than folks, you know, that, you know, running any scam that people run just to get by, so be it. Like, that's your lot. I don't understand why someone who the 1800 bucks extra month you can make off Twitter engagement means nothing to them, why they would do that. And I really don't like the hiding behind the. Hey, guys, I'm just presenting unbiased facts. There's a trillion facts to choose from at any given time. But if there were a conspiracy Dan, on the Internet that you murdered People. And then I tweeted, here's a fact. There have been 78 murders in Connecticut in the year Dan Patrick moved to town. I'm not saying anything. It's just a fact. Just a fact. These are the murders. Here's the numbers.
- [26:10]
Nick Wright
And so objectively, can you look at the Chiefs? Step away from them. Have they got any kind of favoritism?
- [26:21]
Dan Patrick
I. So the data suggests. Not the data suggest. Now listen, it, it was a really bad look. And I will admit, when in the first half of the first playoff game, Patrick asked for a call, didn't get it. And then the ref came over to the sideline where he was sitting on the bench and seemingly Apollo. Oh, I'm sorry, that was Josh Allen and nobody cared. No one had ever seen that happen in sports history. It happened with Josh Allen. Nobody cares. Do I think that the NFL protects quarterbacks? Brady got his knee blown out by Bernard Pollard. They changed the rules. Aaron Rodgers got his collarbone broken. They changed the rules. Do I think these star quarterbacks they take, do I think they get a better whistle than Will Levis? Of course. Do I think that the NFL is a very tough sport to officiate? Yes. Do I think that if you are in standalone close games, there's going to be a bunch of calls and people are going to have issue with it. The idea that they get a more beneficial whistle than the other teams. There's no data to suggest it. And that's why that, that cherry pick data of roughing the passer penalties is so meaningless to me because watch the clips. And then also I'll say one other thing, then we can talk about the actual game. Watch that fourth and five, the Josh Allen incompletion and watch the reverse angle. The George Carloft is hit. And I think this is what the football nerds would call teach tape Carloftis head up, shoulder down into his chest. And then before Allen's even on the ground, is backing up, hands up. You know why? Because they're a buttoned up, well coached team that doesn't make those types of mistakes.
- [28:10]
Nick Wright
But why don't you just take this as a compliment? America wants a new story. They want a new story in all sports. It's, it's not just the Chiefs. It's. They're the latest and people are get tired of people winning like the Warriors. People got tired of that.
- [28:25]
Dan Patrick
No, I, I reject that. People got. People got mad at the warriors because they thought they rigged it in a different way by getting Durant. The 73 win warriors were one of the most popular teams, Steph Curry changing the game. People were, not only were people not tired of Michael Jordan and the Bulls, there's a whole generation that still pines for that era.
- [28:49]
Nick Wright
There was no social media back then, Nick. We don't like. Okay, they didn't get tired. We only had eyewitness accounts. I don't know what social media would have said about the Bulls.

Dan Patrick
So, okay, so then, I mean if the answer is that we now in the mainstream media with a responsibility, with better access to data, with more information, that we should just be taking our cues by what's trending on Twitter, I just disagree with that. And what I, where I get where I got frustrated and where I got really, you know, angry that morning was this. The story of the week should have been. On one hand you have one of the most objectively talented players in league history in Josh Allen who is staring in the face of a team that has beaten him three times in the playoffs. Going for a dynasty, it will be a defining, not going for a dynasty, going to be the greatest team of all time. A defining moment in the best and the second best player in the leagues career will be this football game. And instead we're talking about the, the flag on Mahomes in the AFC championship game from two years ago and we're being led down this road by ML football on Twitter. I just find it, I, I find it cheap and, and unlikable. That's it.
- [30:32]
Nick Wright
He's Nick Wright, host of First Things first on Fox Sports 1. Why would they be the greatest team of all time if they win this Super Bowl?
- [30:41]
Dan Patrick
What do you mean? They won three straight super rules.
- [30:43]
Nick Wright
Well, they're different teams.
- [30:46]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, well, well, okay.
- [30:47]
Nick Wright
Oh, you mean we're talking about this, this team. Is this the greatest team?
- [30:53]
Dan Patrick
Got it, Got it. I apologize. So I think you can make an argument that if they win the 2024 Chiefs are the greatest single season football team of all time. No team will ever have more wins. They would have lost one game. I, you know, week 18, I think I actually kind of like that week 18 doesn't count because then we can almost treat it like a 16 game season the way it used to be. The one team that beat them, they then beat them again. They were able to win. It's not a singular force. Meaning it had Patrick was not great the first six weeks of the year. They anyway you can look at specific games they won because of special teams, because of defense, because of coaching and oh yeah, by the way, they have the, the necessary components of being considered one of the greatest teams ever, which is generational star. Another generational star. Another generational star. It's three because Mahomes, Kelsey and Chris Jones is a playoff performers, one of the greatest of his generation. And then I think a top two coach of all time and maybe a top two coordinator of all time and Steve Spagnolo like you have. So you have all of that. And then you add what I think is the degree of difficulty of no team ever has been able to follow up back to back championships not only with a third, but with even playing for the third. The eight teams to do it, three missed the playoffs, two lost in the divisional round, three loss in the conference championship game. So that would, it would. You know, it's weird if you were to like prior to this year lie detector test me and say what's the greatest football team of all time? I'd probably say the oh7 Patriots. But it's a really hard. It's like, yeah, but some people would be like, no, actually they're not one of the 58 greatest because 58 teams won a Super bowl and they didn't. I, I've always thought the two most spellbinding teams of my lifetime were the 98 Vikings and 07 Patriots. And neither one got it done.
- [32:56]
Nick Wright
Well, the 07 Patriots were like the 73 win Golden State Warriors.
- [33:02]
Dan Patrick
Oh, that's a great take. That's a, that's a great take. But then Eli Manning has to be LeBron James. I don't like that at all. No, no, no, we gotta, we gotta workshop that one. That is. Otherwise we would have been right there.
- [33:15]
Nick Wright
What? How do the Eagles beat the Chiefs?
- [33:18]
Dan Patrick
Oh, they can win.
- [33:20]
Nick Wright
Like I know what makes you nervous about this matchup against your team.
- [33:25]
Dan Patrick
Well, I don't know. I mean Saquon Barkley is pretty good. So here. Can I throw a Saquon Barkley galaxy brain take at you? If a normal football team. So let's say in the 2018 draft, the Giants had drafted Josh Allen, which you know, they probably wish they had. And Saquon went fifth to the Broncos. Just a normal team. Does the running back position never get devalued? Because this guy is just on seven consecutive 1500-2000 yard seasons. Is this guy. Did we get of a hundred ways for his first six years of his career to play out? Did we get in poker terms the nut low with the Giants and now we're just seeing who he can be like so that he is. And I had this wrong. I thought he was a really good player. But you know, I was like, the Eagles run game was awesome without him. I thought I was dead wrong. He has transformed them. So when you have that, when you have the second best pair of receivers in football.
- [34:33]
Nick Wright
But do you think he single handedly devalued the running back or the Giants did by T. Is that what you're saying?
- [34:38]
Dan Patrick
No, what I'm saying is. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm glad you asked me to clarify that. What I'm saying is if Sequan was taken in the top fifth instead of second, still top five, and instantly made the Broncos a year after year contender, my point was, was he good enough that if he just wasn't with a franchise, they didn't know what they were doing? They would, he would have been at this level every single year or close to it, that they would have been a playoff team. And because of that, people have been like, man, star running backs still work in this league. That's what I meant. So I wasn't taken. It was, it was a shot at the Giants, not at him. So, yeah, the Eagles. The Eagles have an amazing roster and they have, they are great on both lines. And so, yeah, they can win. I don't think they will, but they. And listen, Jalen Hurts had never thrown for 160 yards in a playoff win. And you know, the, this past weekend was his. The best, in my opinion, the best game of his career that resulted in a win. Obviously the super bowl, he was great. They lost. And so if they get that level of production from him, that's a dangerous team. I just think the Chiefs, I said it all year, people got mad at me. They were practicing all year, which is why, you know, in the first game they actually could lose. That mattered. They score a season high in points. Mahomes has a career high in rushes. They do things offensively and defensively they did not do all year. So they have more in the bag than the Eagles. Like that is not shown yet. But this will be a great Super Bowl. Great Super Bowl.
- [36:19]
Nick Wright
Do you think you're going to get a Super bowl ring one day?
- [36:24]
Dan Patrick
Oh, you mean when I retire from broadcasting and someone asked me to run a team because of my brilliant commentary?
- [36:30]
Nick Wright
Well, that could happen. But I like, are you going to be on the float this year? Chris Berman got Super bowl ring from the Niners, so I'm gonna guess you're.
- [36:40]
Dan Patrick
Wow, I didn't know that. I thought he was a Bills fan.
- [36:43]
Nick Wright
He.
- [36:43]
Dan Patrick
Nobody circles the way. Yeah, he got a. He got A ring from a team he's not even a fan of.
- [36:47]
Nick Wright
Wow. No, he's a fan of the Niners.
- [36:49]
Dan Patrick
Oh, okay.
- [36:50]
Nick Wright
Well, he had nfc, afc, so he had himself. Yeah. Yeah. But he got a Niners.
- [36:56]
Dan Patrick
I mean, I don't know. I mean, I'm an impartial journalist.
- [36:58]
Nick Wright
Of course. You want.
- [36:59]
Dan Patrick
I just listen.
- [37:02]
Nick Wright
Of course.
- [37:02]
Dan Patrick
Here's. I'm.
- [37:04]
Nick Wright
Would you accept a Super bowl ring?
- [37:07]
Dan Patrick
Well, yeah, of course.
- [37:08]
Nick Wright
Oh, so you're not impartial?
- [37:10]
Dan Patrick
Well, it would be rude to.
- [37:14]
Nick Wright
Yeah, you don't want to do that.
- [37:16]
Dan Patrick
No, I mean, I do. Have I lost all credibility and media criticism because I accepted a watch you sent me? No, I'm not gonna.
- [37:24]
Nick Wright
Well, not everybody knows that.
- [37:27]
Dan Patrick
What, that you sent me a watch?
- [37:29]
Nick Wright
Yeah, I mean that. But that doesn't, you know, compromise your integrity. It just. I wanted to help you out because you had those fake bright wings and I felt bad for you because I have great. I have great respect for you. I said that you and Evan Cohen at ESPN are two of the up and coming people that will be stars. So I wanted you to have that watch.
- [37:53]
Dan Patrick
No, I appreciate that. I wear it every day on television. Can I say. So I have a couple. I don't know how much time we have, but 90 seconds. Okay. Because I'm. You're going to see shortly, I'm going to start alternating watches because here's the thing. I don't think the games are rigged. But for the people who do, I hope you have made as much money this year as I have betting on the Chiefs. That's the other thing. Everyone's responding to these accounts and letting them dictate the narrative that are simultaneously saying this. The games are rigged. The fixes in can't wait till they lose next week. Hey, idiots. If the game's rigged, you can make a lot of money betting on this team, as I have throughout the season.
- [38:46]
Nick Wright
So how much money have you made this year on the Chiefs?
- [38:50]
Dan Patrick
Gambling on the Chiefs?
- [38:51]
Nick Wright
Yeah.
- [38:55]
Dan Patrick
I mean, that's a. That's a rude question. How about you? How about you? Let's price his right style it. How about, say, a number and I'll say over or under and you can do it three times.
- [39:05]
Nick Wright
20 grand over, 50 grand.
- [39:12]
Dan Patrick
Right now under. But I've got some super bowl futures. So let's say they win the Super Bowl.
- [39:21]
Nick Wright
Yeah.
- [39:22]
Dan Patrick
You can now say one more number, assuming they've won the Super Bowl.
- [39:25]
Nick Wright
62, 000 over. Oh, okay. Yeah. Good. So you're gonna get another watch.
- [39:34]
Dan Patrick
Oh, yeah, yeah. That's what I said. That's the there's the point of the stories. That's why I'm gonna be alternating watches. I'm gonna look at whether they win or lose Super Bowl. I'm gonna look down on the at my wrist occasionally and I'll either think of you or I'll think of this chief season and either way it'll make me happy. And then the so yeah, that's what's going to happen. Yeah, so that's that. By the way, Josh Allen probably, probably should get him in field goal range. I know we're not allowed to criticize athletes anymore. It's a new, softer, gentler media. I get it. Everyone feels bad for everyone at all times.
- [40:05]
Nick Wright
But we almost did. If Dalton Kincaig does catch that ball.
- [40:10]
Dan Patrick
A lot of almost. A lot of almost.
- [40:12]
Nick Wright
He almost did. He almost. Almost. Yeah.
- [40:15]
Dan Patrick
The Ravens can hang the point differential banner and the Bills can hang the almost did banner.

I was at a restaurant last night. I was sitting at the bar, and I was eating by myself, as I prefer. There's a guy next to me. Jeopardy comes on. So the guy. Actually, there was a seat in between us that was empty. He proceeded to answer seven questions in a row incorrectly. He just kept blurting out the answers. And. And he said it with such confidence. So I, like, I had to start laughing after the sixth one that he'll just yell out king Tut. It'd be like vasco da Gama or something. And I started laughing. He goes, what's so funny? I said, well, you haven't gotten any of them right. And he said, the game's not over yet. So I said, all right, I'm gonna stay here for a little while longer. So I got another beer. I was done with my dinner. The guy did not get one question right. I think he went over 12. This is the start of the day. And so I started answering a couple of questions. Like, he would yell out. He'd blurt out something. And then I. I think I answered three questions out of, I don't know, seven. And he left. And he didn't say anything when he left. And. But it was like, you know, we all think we know the answers when you're sitting at home, but nobody's there watching you blurt out these answers that were incorrectly. Like, he'd just throw something out there. And I'd be like, I don't think I'd be saying it loud.
- [47:23]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, Paulie, when we watch at home, there's always that category where it's like, NFL quarterbacks Like, oh, yeah. And then the next one's like algebra.
- [47:33]
Nick Wright
Let's come up with a poll question here. Dylan in for Seaton. So that's your responsibility. What are we going with? First hour.
- [47:39]
Dan Patrick
All right, Dan, so we've got at your introductory press conference, as a new head coach, how would you want to come across a tough, no nonsense, things are about to change guy or compassionate players coach? So far, people like the no nonsense guy.
- [47:53]
Nick Wright
Yeah, about 70%. All right, Todd wants to have Aaron Glenn. You want Dan Campbell. You want. You want Mike Ditka. I do, certainly.
- [48:01]
Dan Patrick
As opposed to.
- [48:02]
Nick Wright
Hey, but I don't think you want to be coached by. If. If I was that like Aaron Glenn. Yes, I would like to play for another team. Of course you would. But you want him coaching your team. You don't want him coaching you. I could not have said it better myself.
- [48:15]
Dan Patrick
You've got me nailed. Like.
- [48:17]
Nick Wright
Thank you, Todd Dylan, players coach or disciplinarian.
- [48:22]
Dan Patrick
If I'm on the team.
- [48:23]
Nick Wright
Give me the players coach Mike.
- [48:25]
Dan Patrick
Todd. But I like a little blend of the two as a fan.
- [48:27]
Nick Wright
All right, John Harbaugh. That wasn't part of the question. Marvin, what do you want?
- [48:33]
Dan Patrick
Players coach. All right, Paulie, when I'm watching a press conference, I want a guy who seems smart, possibly nerdy. And you're not sure whether he played football before like Mike McDaniel. I was like, he played football. Liam Cohen. He played football like the nerdy smart guy, not the tough guy coach.
- [48:50]
Nick Wright
Out of all the coaches who have been hired. Okay, if I say Aaron Glenn, Pete Carroll, Brian Schottenheimer, Liam Cohen. Back row is going to want Liam Cohen. I'm going to guess Marvin. Who. Who would. Out of those four, you want shoddy? Pete Carroll, Aaron Glenn, Liam Cohen.
- [49:12]
Dan Patrick
Oh, Pete Carroll.
- [49:13]
Nick Wright
Okay. Paulie Carroll.
- [49:16]
Dan Patrick
The confidence.
- [49:17]
Nick Wright
Yeah, I do, too. Yeah. But I don't think he's a disciplinarian. I just think he's an. He's an energy guy. Enthusiastic. So I'm. I'm. I'd be fine with that. I think the Raiders did well. I mean, I look at the NFL year to year. You, we like to look at. Well, where are they going to be? You know, he's going to be 77 in three years. Yes, but they're bringing him in. That might be. Hey, come in. Be a band aid coach. Get us, you know, stabilized, and then maybe you put him in the front office after that. Make him a consultant or whatever you want to do. Make up a title. But I think Pete in. In your organization is a whole lot better than Pete not being in your organization. And for that team. Now you got Brady, now you got Pete Carroll, you got some respect. You have the sixth pick overall. And I, I think that they did really well with this. You know, the, the key is going to be the quarterback. Stephen in Florida. Hi, Steve. Hey, good morning. Dan and your entire crew. Just wanted to revisit the tip in the football discussion that we had yesterday. Yep. I'm one of those that believe in the philosophy of keep it simple, stupid. And it's not like trying to reinvent what is a catch and what is not a catch, but placing the chip in the football, say middle of the seam in the football so it's consistent throughout. But it's, you know, my philosophy with this is that when the, the ball crosses the goal line, it's a score. When the ball crosses through the uprights and the goal post on it on a kick, it's a score. So what I'm proposing is that you eliminate any body parts that touch the ground or, you know, whatever as the ball placement. You use the chip in the ball, in the forward progress of the ball and you know, for inbounds, out of bounds plays. But from the, you know, line of play, from the line of scrimmage, it's where the ball. Yeah, I get it. The problem with the NFL is they never subtract from a rule. They always add, they just keep adding more verbiage and then it becomes more complicated. Just like the catch. It's either a catch or it's nodding. Hey, did, did you. Do you have the ball? That's a catch. Hour two on the way Julian Edelman.
