1. Introduction to New York Football Chaos

Timestamp: [02:00] - [07:02]

Dan Patrick and co-host Paul Pabst kick off the discussion by addressing the dire situation of New York's football teams. They focus primarily on the New York Jets' ongoing turmoil, marked by the recent firing of their General Manager (GM) and head coach. The conversation highlights the Jets' failed attempts to secure a stable quarterback, emphasizing the drafting mishaps with Zach Wilson and the acquisition of Aaron Rodgers.

Notable Quotes:

• Paul Pabst: "They whiffed on Zach Wilson, number two overall pick, and they whiffed on Aaron Rodgers. They gave up a first-round pick for Aaron Rodgers." ([05:06])
• Dan Patrick: "The Jets feel more cursed than the Giants. The Giants feel like they've had more good years than bad, and this is like an anomaly." ([06:43])

2. Giants vs. Jets: Organizational Health Comparison

Timestamp: [07:02] - [13:59]

The hosts compare the New York Giants to the Jets, questioning which team is in better shape. While both franchises face significant challenges, the Giants are perceived to have a more resilient organization with a history of occasional successes. However, recent decisions, such as letting star running back Saquon Barkley leave for a division rival, have further complicated the Giants' situation.

Poll Result:

• Dan Patrick: "New York team in better shape. The jets or the Giants? Right now, the Giants running away with it about 72% of the vote." ([50:40])

Notable Quotes:

• Paul Pabst: "If you want to wear the jersey, wear the jersey. I mean, it's gotten to the point, if you do buy a jersey, chances are that player is eventually going to play for somebody else." ([12:40])
• Dan Patrick: "It's like Christian McCaffrey going to the Niners. You're with the right team. They have a lot of weapons. They have a good line. They know how to use you." ([12:20])

3. Deion Sanders’ Role and Impact

Timestamp: [32:29] - [36:54]

The discussion shifts to Deion Sanders, evaluating his contributions and the media's portrayal of his tenure. The hosts debate whether Sanders deserves more credit for his coaching efforts and how figures like Michael Irvin are influencing his career decisions, particularly regarding potential positions with the Dallas Cowboys.

Notable Quotes:

• Paul Pabst: "Michael Irvin's the one out front saying he wants Deion on the Cowboys and that he's going to speak to Jerry Jones." ([35:49])
• Dan Patrick: "Sports Illustrated gave Dion Sportsman of the Year a year too early. This would have been the year to do it." ([36:54])

4. Organizational Missteps and Leadership Issues

Timestamp: [09:46] - [15:36]

Dan and Paul delve deeper into the Giants' management decisions, scrutinizing the handling of quarterback Daniel Jones and the departure of Saquon Barkley. They argue that poor leadership and decision-making at the top levels have led to the franchises' struggles. The conversation highlights the detrimental effects of not securing a reliable quarterback and mishandling star players.

Notable Quotes:

• Paul Pabst: "They did it on TV, where he's like, hey, you know, I mean, if you let us have the final say on. And I'm thinking, you are crazy." ([14:09])
• Dan Patrick: "You've got to get a quarterback, you got to let their running back go. There's nothing really to see." ([12:20])

5. Thanksgiving Day NFL Games: Suggestions and Critique

Timestamp: [22:19] - [26:04]

The hosts discuss the current state of Thanksgiving Day NFL scheduling, critiquing the lack of attractive matchups. They propose an innovative idea to allow the NFL to flex games closer to the season's start, providing more flexibility and potentially more compelling matchups based on team performances.

Notable Quotes:

• Dan Patrick: "The NFL have a good idea of who's where, who's what, and they could announce those games mid-season instead of doing it in the off-season." ([23:19])
• Paul Pabst: "It's Thanksgiving. Yes." ([25:20])

6. Caller Interactions and Audience Engagement

Timestamp: [10:10] - [51:24]

Throughout the episode, several callers share their insights and questions. Notably, Tyler discusses the Dallas Cowboys' recent struggles and Deion Sanders' career moves, while Corey raises concerns about the Las Vegas episodes and the absence of a co-host. There’s also a humorous exchange about rookie basketball players and the Lakers, showcasing the show's blend of serious analysis and lighthearted banter.

Notable Quotes:

• Caller (Tyler): "The Dallas Cowboys have proved to be atrocious this year... Deion Sanders leaves Colorado." ([32:29])
• Dan Patrick: "That's a great recruiting tool. If Deion officially turns down a Cowboys job, goes back to his recruits at Colorado. Guys, I turned down the Cowboys for you." ([35:49])

7. Player Spotlight: Dalton Connect and Rookie Analysis

Timestamp: [43:22] - [47:56]

The conversation transitions to basketball, where Dalton Connect, a rookie with the Lakers, is highlighted for his impressive shooting performance. The hosts discuss his potential impact on the team and address issues like ageism in the draft process, arguing that Connect's skills were undervalued due to perceptions about his age and experience.

Notable Quotes:

• Paul Pabst: "He's been a victim of ageism because if he was 19, the Rockets would have taken him at number three instead of Reed Shepard. He's 23 years old." ([46:46])
• Dan Patrick: "Dalton Connect is one of those transfer portal guys. He lit up the big sky as a sophomore." ([47:31])

8. Closing Remarks and Upcoming Guests

Timestamp: [51:24] - [57:00]

As the episode wraps up, Dan and Paul tease upcoming segments, including interviews with John Elway and Pirates rookie Paul Skenes. They also mention future discussions on playoff rankings and more insights into the NFL landscape.

Notable Quotes:

• Dan Patrick: "John Elway will join us in about 10 minutes from now. Paul Skenes the Pirates rookie as well." ([50:50])
• Paul Pabst: "Next hour." ([50:50])

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, you don't want to do that. You're a pro.

[Paul Pabst]

Come on. I do have a cough button here that allows me to do that. So. Celtics hold off my Cavs. The cavs are now 15:1. Still a great start, but they kind of go away because they're not undefeated anymore. Now it's like we we now resume our regularly scheduled NBA programming. Cavs a great story. Now we wait to see how they finish up and what kind of playoff team they're going to be. Stat of the day brought to you by Panini America.

Show operator Tyler sitting by. You'll take your phone calls. Seton has the honors with our poll questions today. Not much tonight you have a interesting basketball game. Illinois and Alabama, you got some action as well. But the big news last night was the Celtics winning at home. They were favored by five. They won by three. The jets are cleaning house. They fire their gm. They've already fired their coach and will probably try to move on from Aaron Rodgers. Deion Sanders continues to shake off the NFL questions, certainly questions that are arising about the Dallas Cowboys. All right, Seaton, poll question today. What are we going to go with hour one?

[Dan Patrick]

I think we start with the Jets. Yesterday, the jets got. Did they get better?

[Paul Pabst]

They get more confused.

[Dan Patrick]

Did they? They seem to be in flux.

[Paul Pabst]

Well, it's not every day when you have your GM fired, your coach has already been fired and you want to move on from your quarterback. So that's kind of the trilogy here that we're seeing with the Jets. And Joe Douglas did a pretty good job, though, with some of the talent. So he got Breece hall, he got Garrett Wilson, Sauce Gardner, Will McDonald, all drafted by him. But really, this comes down to they whiffed on Zach Wilson, number two overall pick, and they whiffed on Aaron Rodgers. They gave up a first round pick for Aaron Rodgers. I can't blame Rogers injury on Douglas, but that doesn't mean that, you know, this guy's a lousy talent evaluator. This is just. You kind of. Everybody bases their success building a team, getting the right quarterback, and they didn't do that. It cost a coach a job, a gm, a job, and ultimately, it'll cost the quarterback his job. Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Seaton, New York team in better shape, the Giants or the Jets?

[Paul Pabst]

Oh, boy. Oh. Came out firing on this Wednesday.

[Dan Patrick]

Someone has to be better. Not in good, but better. In better shape. Which one of them is in better shape right now?

[Paul Pabst]

What? Feels like the Giants are going to have some upheaval. They need a new quarterback. They probably will. Man, I am having some issues.

[Dan Patrick]

Hey, how you doing, bud?

[Paul Pabst]

You okay? Yeah, yeah. I get choked up. Yes, Paul.

[Dan Patrick]

It feels like the jets have young talent on the roster with Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner, who may be regressing, at least public perception wise. But the jets feel more cursed than the Giants. The Giants feel like they've had more good years than bad, and this is like an anomaly.

[Paul Pabst]

Yeah, I mean, the jets are. The Jets. They're. They're Jetsian. They. They do these things for decades. The Giants have at least had success. You know, they're not basing the, hey, be a Jets fan because we won with Joe namast, Super Bowl 3. You know, they went all in. They thought they had it. They thought Aaron Rodgers could be Aaron Rodgers. It didn't work out that way. He's been a big disappointment. And, you know, some people have said that Aaron could play next year for somebody else. I don't see anybody unless they go, hey, nobody's coming to watch us play. Come out and see Aaron Rodgers. I don't see that happening because he's been banged up. I just don't think. I don't think the jets want him. There's a report with Diana Rossini that they were thinking of benching Aaron Rodgers after week four. That doesn't sound like you want him back. And now you're going to go, okay, we need a quarterback, a coach and a gm. But you still have that same owner. And I Do think that, I mean, Belichick's not looking at this. He's even said that, you know, it's basically you start with the owner and that's not a good situation here. But what I say that I have more confidence in the Giants organization, but I don't know if anybody's in a good position right now. I think they're kind of neck and neck here, depending on, you know, Daniel Jones. Are you bringing him back? Probably not. All right, so who are you getting? The Jets. Aaron Rodgers. So who are you getting that would tell me what direction you're going in? And right now they're kind of in neutral. Yeah. Paul?

[Dan Patrick]

Right now the New York Giants have the fourth pick of the draft. Right now the New York jets have the seventh pick of the draft. Wow.

[Paul Pabst]

Well, I don't know if you have franchise quarterbacks. Cam Ward seems to be a good story. Shador Sanders seems to be a good story. But I don't know if you go those guys, you know, if we redrafted. So if you had, you know, all the quarterbacks who were rookies this year and then you threw in Cam Ward and you threw in Shador Sanders, where would they go in this draft? Would it be those four that are playing in the NFL right now? And then you would have Shador and then Cam Ward. Probably, but I'd have to get a talent evaluator on. But I, you know, are you getting somebody? Does Deion want his son to go to the Giants or the Jads? I don't know. Yeah. Paul.

[Dan Patrick]

It does feel like these days that it doesn't matter. The. There doesn't have to be an Andrew Luck in the draft. Six quarterbacks went in the first 12 picks last year, one to be a backup. Michael Penix. It feels like with those rookie quarterback contracts, the incentive to take a rookie quarterback is so high you. You don't pass even if you got question marks. It feels like it's just the thing to do.

Seaton?

[Dan Patrick]

You know, I keep looking at Brian Dabel too. You and the move. If he's coaching for his job and the move then is to let me.

[Paul Pabst]

Bring in Tommy DeVito yeah, that.

[Dan Patrick]

That's helping him keep his job by.

[Paul Pabst]

Well, he's being a good employee because.

[Dan Patrick]

He'S not letting Daniel Jones get hurt, right?

[Paul Pabst]

Yes. He's being told Daniel Jones isn't going to play anymore for us. He's our third string quarterback. Right. We want to make sure that he doesn't play, therefore he gets hurt. Therefore we owe him $23 million. Is that okay, Coach? Yes, sir. Yes, Sir. It's Tommy DeVito on Thanksgiving against Cooper Rush. Plenty of seats still available. Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

How much of. If Ryan Dabel gets fired, how much of it is because of the quarterback? How much of it is because they let Saquon go?

[Paul Pabst]

Well, they doubled down on Dan. Daniel Jones. That's the problem. They never should have done that. And then maybe they would have kept Saquon Barkley, and then maybe you're going to get a quarterback and maybe he's a bridge quarterback. But at least now I was all in on Saquon when they drafted him. Now, way too high. I thought he was going to be the running back. He is now. I thought he would be that for Eli in his last year and maybe they could get some magic. They spent a lot of money back then on their defense, and it didn't work out. Saquon is a really good player, and he would have been an insurance policy for Daniel Jones. All else fails, Daniel, get the ball to Saquon Barkley. Well, they doubled down on Daniel Jones and now they let Saquon walk. And now he's an MVP candidate. He wouldn't have been an MVP candidate with the Giants. He's with the right team. It's like Christian McCaffrey going to the Niners. You're with the right team. They have a lot of weapons. They have a good line. They know how to use you. There's a lot of weapons. They don't just zero in on you. But that's where the Giants made their mistake. Let Daniel Jones. What's his best year? 15 touchdown passes.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Paul Pabst]

And you're going to give him $40 million? I mean, that's silly. Crazy. Yes. Todd, is the average fan, Giants fan.

[Dan Patrick]

More mad at the organization or Saquon? I asked that because if you had a Saquon Barkley Giants jersey and you go to MetLife for a Giants game, are you wearing your Saquon Barkley jersey? Are you mad that he left for a division rival?

[Paul Pabst]

It's not his fault. He. He wanted to stay. They let him go out and flirt. It's like, hey, we kind of want to be in a relationship with you. But if you want to see other people, go ahead. I wouldn't blame Saquon Barkley for anything. And if you want to wear the jersey, wear the jersey. I mean, gosh, it's gotten to the point, if you do buy a jersey, chances are that player is eventually going to play for somebody else. It's not where, hey, I bought my Ripken jersey or my Tony Gwynn jersey. They're going to be there forever. That doesn't happen. Yes, Paul.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, we've discussed jersey insurance, but Saquon was there for five seasons. Plus, you can't really return it at this juncture.

[Paul Pabst]

No, but if you're a Giants fan, you want to wear it and you go, oh, remember the good old days? You know, O.C. humanura or whatever. Like, I don't know. I don't know if it matters, but I wouldn't blame Saquon. I blame the gm. And he did it on tv. He did it right in front of us, where he's like, hey, you know, I mean, if you let us have the final say on. And I'm thinking, you are crazy.

[Dan Patrick]

Go take a look.

[Paul Pabst]

You're. You're crazy.

[Dan Patrick]

Come on back.

[Paul Pabst]

Hey, okay, but go take a look. Take a look. Yeah, you want to have dinner? You want to cozy up with somebody, you know, maybe a weekend fling. But, hey, let us know. And I'm thinking, what are you doing?

[Dan Patrick]

It's like, go take a look, man. It's cool. Go ahead. Nobody's going to offer him anything.

[Paul Pabst]

Trust me. Okay? He's going to come. Oh, oh, wait. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Yes, Paul.

[Dan Patrick]

And that clip. There's that clip from Hard Knocks where Joe shown Shane, the GM says, well, you know, not. They're talking about not to Philly. It would just upset me so much. Every time Saquon has a big game with the Eagles, that clip gets circulated and circulated on social media. It's just. It's gonna haunt them forever.

[Paul Pabst]

But it's embarrassing. Like, that's your negotiation. Go out there and talk to other. Other teams, but let us have the final. Once you say, go talk to other people, that's where you're saying, we don't think you're going to get a better deal than us, and we'll be waiting for you. And then all of a sudden, the Eagles go, wait a minute. Is this a trick question? Are we interested in saying, yes, we are. We'll pay you that. And you see where the Eagles are and where the Giants are. Yes, Todd.

[Dan Patrick]

And on the other side, the player doesn't feel the love that they're looking for. It's like, I did a, B and C for you the last five years, and you're telling me, you know, anything other than we want you back? How do we get this done? You know, I'm moving on. I'm glad. He not only moved on, but went to someone in their division.

[Paul Pabst]

It's a business, that's all. But we normally don't. We don't get to see that. We don't get to see behind the curtain where you're going, all right, how did these negotiations work? That's embarrassing. How it worked or didn't work? Yes, I mean, the Giants did do him a solid.

[Dan Patrick]

And he said, like in the moment, like, hey, look, we're going to do what's right by you. Go see if you can get more.

[Paul Pabst]

Money than what we're offering.

[Dan Patrick]

Great, then take it. If not, then come back. And then he went and found it, and they're like, okay, well, that backfired. Oh, well.

[Paul Pabst]

But they did do him a solid, you know, there's no doubt about that. Yeah, I don't think they. I don't think it was intentional that they were going to do him a solid. It was. We'll let you. Look, just so you're going to find out, you're going to. You're going to face reality here. Nobody's going to pay you what you think you're worth. And then we'll gladly have you back. And then all of a sudden, Philadelphia is like, yeah, we'll gladly pick, like, the separation in some of these contracts for a running back is like a million dollars. I mean, it's not exorbitant, but you see what they can do for your quarterback. You. You know what they do. You know, Derrick Henry, what he's done. I mean, you just see these guys and they can be different. They're handling the ball, what, 20, 25 times. And if you get your good one, you know, that's such a difference maker for a quarterback. All right, we'll settle on a poll question. We had phone calls once again, John Elway. In an hour from now, the Pirates rookie of the year Paul Skenes will stop by. We're going to play the popular game sweeping the country, in or out. And we'll talk about the college football rankings, the mess that is the Jets. Got a lot of things to get to back after this.

[Paul Pabst]

Try them for [e-mail] phone calls are welcome. We'll get to those coming up. I saw this on the Athletic. Diana Rosini and Zach Rosenblatt had this report and it was talking about the Jets. The jets owner, Woody Johnson suggested benching Aaron Rodgers after week four. Then the gm Joe Douglas was stunned at this suggestion. And then talk the owner out of it, saying, no, no, no, you can't do that to a Hall of Fame quarterback. This won't go over well. In the locker room. They were going to bench Aaron Rodgers in favor of Tyrod Taylor because the owner thought Aaron Rodgers performance was holding the team back. Okay. Then the owner on October 8 made the decision to fire Robert Sala. He didn't even talk to the gm. He just said, I'm making this decision. That's Jetsean. That's what happens when the owner is too involved and doesn't let his people do their job. And that's why they are who they are. You start at the top. That is not a good owner. And when you make these decisions, hey, I'm the smartest guy in the room. Ask Jerry Jones about that. I'm the smartest guy in the room. Daniel Snyder, smartest guy in the room. The more involved you get, the more exposed you get. And that's certainly been the case with Woody Johnson and the Jets. All right, Paulie has a suggestion for Thanksgiving. We have to decide if it's good idea or bad idea.

[Dan Patrick]

That old game, good idea, bad idea, bad idea. So some people are already frustrated that the Thanksgiving Day slate of games is not as attractive now it should have been, but it's not. Bears at Lions. Lions are juicy, Bears aren't Giants and Cowboys. That is now brutal. Cooper Rush versus Tommy DeVito. That is brutal for your 430 game. Dolphins, packers is. Okay, how about this idea? The NFL hates bad ratings, clearly. What if they're going forward? They were able to flex the Thanksgiving games and they don't have to decide on it till like week six. So we're all waiting and it's a double. So we don't know who's playing on Thanksgiving until maybe October 15th. The NFL have a good idea of who's where, who's what, and they could announce those games mid season instead of doing it in the off season. Your thoughts?

[Paul Pabst]

I don't know if I've ever tuned into Thanksgiving Day games and go, man, I don't know if this is a good matchup you watch anyway. Yes, because we watch the Lions every year. They'd be that early start and you'd watch the Lions. They weren't any good. But you'd go, all right, football's on. Then you'd have the Cowboys on and then you'd have a game later on at night. I don't know. Can you guys remember the matchups last year at Thanksgiving? Probably not. So I don't know if it matters. But also giving people a heads up on if you decide that you're going to go to Detroit or you're going to go to Dallas or you're going to go to whatever the Sunday night game or the Thanksgiving night game is. Yes, Paul.

[Dan Patrick]

So for instance, NBC has the late night game on Thanksgiving. It's Dolphins, Packers. That's, that's okay. But NBC also has 49ers bills. What if they swap those and 49ers bills was the 8pm Eastern game on Thanksgiving night. That's a hammer. That's much more of a hammer.

[Paul Pabst]

Yeah, but you're already getting, you know, People. It's not a school night. People can stay up. They'll watch the game. They're going to be there with family. You're going to watch that game no matter what. The Sunday night game. That's trickier because it's Sunday night. Then you got Monday where people are going back to work. Todd. Good idea. Bad idea.

[Dan Patrick]

Good idea. I'd like some more manipulation of the Thanksgiving games. And if there's a real key game there that you could somehow moved to nighttime. I know it's tricky with travel and schedules. It's not just as easy as flipping a switch, but I'm into that.

[Paul Pabst]

Seaton.

[Dan Patrick]

No. I'm a little bit of a creature of habit, and I really like watching the Lions on Thanksgiving. I don't care. I watched them when they were terrible for years and years and years. I didn't really care. You know, I like. There are certain games that become traditions, and I like traditions more than two winning teams playing each other.

[Paul Pabst]

Marvin. Good idea. Bad idea.

[Dan Patrick]

Good idea. I want to see the good teams play on Thanksgiving because other than that, that means I'll take my nap while you're playing.

[Paul Pabst]

All right. You're still going to take a nap.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, that's true.

[Paul Pabst]

It's Thanksgiving. Yes. Todd.

[Dan Patrick]

Does that make. Marvin. A tryptophan. F A N. Tryptophans that are phan. Tryptophan. You have to explain it.

[Paul Pabst]

Thank you. It's pretty good.

[Dan Patrick]

I liked it.

[Paul Pabst]

Paul, we're very lenient this morning.

[Dan Patrick]

You like it? Tryptophan.

[Paul Pabst]

Paul. Good idea. Bad idea. You suggested it, so it must be a good idea.

[Dan Patrick]

It's medium. It's unnecessary, but. No, no, no.

[Paul Pabst]

You can't medium it. It's called good idea.

[Dan Patrick]

So is my own idea bad or good? It's an interesting game. It's probably not necessary, but it would be good if they did it. So, yes, good idea.

[Paul Pabst]

I'm fine. I'm fine with it. I'm fine with what it is. I don't think I gear up. I think it's more college football that I gear up for Thanksgiving weekend than I do the NFL. But how about fill in the blank? Boy, this crushed yesterday. This was. Oh, people are talking about this on social media. Time to play Fill in the blank. The New York Jets, Todd, are. Fill in the blank.

[Dan Patrick]

Met lifeless.

[Paul Pabst]

Met lifeless. All right, let me give you a bloop on that one. The hyphen met metlife. Stadium. Hyphen. Words are allowed. It's one word or a hyphen. All right. Seaton. Fill in the blank. The New York jets are.

[Dan Patrick]

I used hilarious yesterday. I can't use that again today, can I? So I find them to be tremendously entertaining. Watch them.

[Paul Pabst]

Okay.

[Dan Patrick]

Throw up all over themselves constantly.

[Paul Pabst]

All right, I'm gonna say a disaster. A disaster.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Paul Pabst]

Marvin, fill in the blank. The jets are messy.

[Dan Patrick]

Everything about that organization from the top down. Okay.

[Paul Pabst]

All right, Paul, I'm going to go.

[Dan Patrick]

With the word baffling. You can't have one great season out of 40. You know, like one for 40. It's like I'm a terrible shooter, but if I go out on the court, I'm going 1 for 40. The jets, it's baffling how they can't have an AFC title game win even. Not. Not even a Super bowl win, but an AFC title game. Baffling.

[Paul Pabst]

They. They are a reality show. Like, this is where. Now, I think that's maybe three words there. But since I'm hosting, I get to say. Why would you say reality show? Reality hyphen show, something like that.

[Dan Patrick]

The rules are being broken.

[Paul Pabst]

Oh, they are.

[Dan Patrick]

This game's been in place for almost two days.

[Paul Pabst]

They're meant to be broken. All right.

[Dan Patrick]

Jets are a lifeless disaster. Messy, baffling, and like a reality show.

[Paul Pabst]

Is what we're saying. Yeah, yeah. But Todd got metlife disaster. Why can't I get reality? I put in disaster.

[Dan Patrick]

Todd had met lifeless, which is technically one word.

[Paul Pabst]

Met life. Met lifeless is one word. All right, fill in the blank, Todd. The New York Giants are.

[Dan Patrick]

In honor of their change at quarterback, I went with instead of defeated. They're defeated this season. God's loving this game. Really?

[Paul Pabst]

You prepared for this?

[Dan Patrick]

Once I saw. Once I saw Paulie's note, I'm like, oh, I'm gonna take a few minutes on this.

[Paul Pabst]

You. You did. Well done, Seaton. The New York Giants are.

[Dan Patrick]

I wanna. Is there a one word that says about to make a big mistake? How do you. How do you sum that up into one? What if I said about to make a big mistake?

[Paul Pabst]

Oh, I'm gonna give you that one.

[Dan Patrick]

Word about a mega big mistake.

[Paul Pabst]

I'm gonna let you. You know, we're gonna designate that as one word.

[Dan Patrick]

Sounds like it sounds like one word. The way you said that about how.

[Paul Pabst]

Many would make a movie. I better make a big smart Marvin. The New York Giants.

[Dan Patrick]

Rules are being broken. Rules are being broken. The Giants are hopeless. Oh, there's nothing good in the future. Coming soon.

[Paul Pabst]

All right, Paul. The Giants are.

[Dan Patrick]

Based off what Seton said, there's some wiggle room. I Was gonna say gonna be okay. Is it gonna be okay? But I'm not gonna go with that. I'm gonna go with buoyant. I think they're gonna rise up and they're gonna be okay based off their past. Buoyant is a fun word. Can't spell it like to say it.

[Paul Pabst]

The New York Giants are sad. Sad because they are the New York foot, you know, the old school, the New York Football Giants because they used to have the New York Giants baseball team, the New York Football Giant. They're sad because they invested in their quarterback. They're probably going to clean house now. They got to get a quarterback. They got let their running back go. There's nothing really to see. And you're going to be on display national TV against the Cowboys. Now, thankfully, the Cowboys are not any good either. And maybe the Giants can have some fun. And maybe Tommy Salami goes out there and slings it around a little bit and the Giants have some fun.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, Paul, the past seven years, the Giants have been under.500, except for one season where they're 9, 7 and 1, which is as close as you can get. You know who the beneficiary is of all this struggle? Eli Manning. Eli Manning's career looks better every year he's gone from the Giants. Like, it's almost like they had a stable, good quarterback who was clutch. Not great in the regular season, but good. And every year his. They help his hall of Fame case by struggling.

[Paul Pabst]

I. No, no, no. What helps his case is he won two Super Bowls.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, yeah. Beyond it.

[Paul Pabst]

Yes. I mean, it's not like they go, I don't know, let's see, what have they done when, you know, since he retired? I don't know if we're doing that. I don't know any other franchise where you go, this strengthens Philip Rivers hall of Fame or this doesn't strengthen his hall of Fame resume because they're better. But I like it. I like the tact that you. You took on that.

[Dan Patrick]

But no, like Kerpal, I don't see.

[Paul Pabst]

Yes, it is. All right. 877 3DP show. Tyler in Virginia leads us off. Hey, Tyler, what's on your mind? Hey, good morning, Dan and morning, guys. Got a hot take for you. And I'm going to get right to the nuts and bolts of this thing here. Earlier in the show, you had talked about the rookie quarterbacks coming into the draft this year. Cam Ward being one of the, you know, highlights of that. Here's my take. The Dallas Cowboys have proved to be atrocious this year. And we saw it mumbled by Dak Prescott on the sideline. They fire Mike McCarthy. Jerry Jones finally does something good for that organization. They fire Mike McCarthy. Deion Sanders leaves Colorado.

[Dan Patrick]

He goes back down to Dallas where.

[Paul Pabst]

He'S a shining star, and then they trade up or have the ability to.

[Dan Patrick]

Get Shador Sanders, where Deion and Shador.

[Paul Pabst]

Can be back together again, but just on the national platform. Yeah, but you're so invested in Dak Prescott and other teams are going to know that you. This isn't a Bronnie James, where everybody in the NBA allowed the Lakers to take Bronny James. Other team, two other teams were interested in taking him. This isn't a situation where the NFL is going to be benevolent and go, you know what? Go ahead, draft a guy who's a top five talent and maybe the best quarterback in the draft. Not going to happen. I could see the Raiders with Deion. Deion was asked about this yesterday. I'm happy where I am, man. I'm good. I got a kickstand down.

[Dan Patrick]

You know, the kickstand is a lot.

[Paul Pabst]

Of people don't in there, not of.

[Dan Patrick]

Age, don't know what a kickstand is.

[Paul Pabst]

That mean I'm resting, I'm good, I'm happy, I'm excited, I'm enthusiastic about where I am.

[Dan Patrick]

I love it here. I truly do. Next question.

[Paul Pabst]

Good kickstand on your bicycle. Kickstands down. You're chilling. I get it. But when Travis Hunter goes, when his son Shador Sanders goes, as long as he's able to, you know, have find people that he can replace them with, then great. And I think he's having fun. I do. Now, the person who is leading the charge on this talk is Michael Irvin. Michael Irvin's the one out front saying he wants Dion on the Cowboys and that he's going to speak to Jerry Jones or he's already spoken to Jerry Jones. So this isn't a media creation. This is. If Dion wanted this to go away, Dion would say to Michael Irvin, mike, stop. I got recruits they may not know if I want to stay here. I don't like they can do a disservice to Dion by saying, Dion to the Dallas Cowboys. If Dion wants this to stop, which I don't think he does, I think it gives him leverage. But I think you got to be careful with some of these recruits that you're bringing in or maybe flipping, they're going to go, wait a minute. Are you going to The Cowboy. No, no, no, no. I got my kickstand down. I'm fine with this. Michael Irvin's one of Deion's best friends. He's the one who said, I'm going to talk to Jerry Jones about this. Yes, Paul?

[Dan Patrick]

Michael Irvin posted yesterday on the Twitter. He posted, I spent Friday night with Jerry Jones at the fight. I spent Saturday with Deion Sanders. I spent Sunday with the Lord praying, guess for what.

[Paul Pabst]

And he posted to go to the downstairs. Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

And he posted pictures of him and Jerry, him and Dion, and then him pray. He's not.

[Paul Pabst]

Imagine.

[Dan Patrick]

It's not subtle. I like about Michael.

[Paul Pabst]

If you're God and you're like, yes, Michael praying to you. Yeah. What's wrong, Michael? You've been through an awful lot. I need. I need Dion to go to the Dallas Cowboys. All right, I'll. I'll get back to you. I got. I got Mike McCarthy, who's also praying to keep his job, so I have to listen to him as well. But Mike is the one who's leading the charge on this, and that's why I still go back. I think there's something to it, but I don't know if Jerry. I don't know if Jerry wants that. I don't know. Yes, Mark.

[Dan Patrick]

That's a great recruiting tool. If Deion officially turns down a Cowboys job, goes back to his recruits at Colorado. Guys, I turned down the Cowboys for you. I'm here. Yeah, I'm ready.

[Paul Pabst]

Yeah, we're here. Yeah. No, it's a great recruiting tool. You're right. You can flip it, and you can say, hey, when somebody says, are. Are you going to go to the Cowboys? No, no, no. I told him, no, I want to stay here. I mean, Dion is a master at this stuff. I don't know if he's a great coach, but he's a CEO and he's done a great job. They could get into the playoffs. He's had a great, remarkable turnaround. It should be acknowledged. But to go in and coach the Cowboys.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, Paul, what if God responded and said, first, you got to get a gm, then we got to fix those windows and back, and then I'll take care of the Deion Sanders thing. Let's go step by step. Let's get a checklist together.

[Paul Pabst]

I got to get curtains first. I mean, there's a lot of things I got to do there in Dallas before Mike. If I hire Deion Sanders. Yes, Marvin.

[Dan Patrick]

Sports Illustrated gave Dion Sportsman of the Year a year too early. This would have been the year to do it.

[Paul Pabst]

Well, it was when the team was actually good. Yes. Yes. I don't even know what that means. The Sportsman of the Year. You won four games. I like it. You want to talk about a great honor that they totally diluted. It's like we're going to give Dion Sportsman of the Year, man. You want to be relevant. I get it. But that was desperate because I don't, like, look at all of these Sportsmen of the Year things that they've done. We're going to honor Mike Krzyzewski, okay. Chances are he probably won a national championship or something, but that. That one was a stretch. You want to give them to him this year? Great. I'm fine with that. Corey in Kansas City. Hi, Corey. What's on your mind?

[Dan Patrick]

Hey, I play the good idea, bad idea game every time I call in Mr. Patrick. As always, Mark Seaton, Wu Tang forever. Guys, one quick Kansas City prediction because you guys brought up the Cowboys. And a quick question regarding my prediction. If the Chiefs 3 Pete with all of his endeavors, plus Taylor Travis Kelsey is retiring at the end of this year. I think that's happened. And secondly, a quick question about the show. Dan. I'm not really a gambler, but because honestly, I'm unwell, I decided to start listening to DP Takes a Gamble from the very beginning. And when Shay joined the show, it completely changed the whole thing. I just finished the Las Vegas episodes, but my question is on the main show, we haven't heard from him in a couple of weeks. Have you performed a wellness check on Shea?

[Paul Pabst]

Yes, I have, Corey. I have reached out to him just to make sure he's doing okay. Had some issues where his wife went to Toronto to watch the Taylor Swift concert, and Shay was watching his children and he got in trouble. And I think he now has couples therapy that he has to. We'll talk to Shea today or tomorrow. We'll do the gambling podcast. But we'll. We'll keep you up to date on the trials and tribulations of one Shea in Irving. When we come back, we'll hear from LeBron James and as we mentioned, with Deion Sanders. I think there's something there, but I think there's something there. Just because Deion could make this go away if he wanted to, and he doesn't want to. Back after this, be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick.

The play of the day. This is the play of the day. Check this out.

[Dan Patrick]

Goes down. It goes.

[Paul Pabst]

Yes, sir.

[Dan Patrick]

Show off a little bit.

[Paul Pabst]

D. That's Dalton connect 37 point performance. I know it's connect four, but it's connect three for him. Spectrum sports net as he had nine three pointers. Most by a Laker rookie. I'll put this one out there for you, Marvin. Most by a Laker rookie since what?

[Dan Patrick]

Brandon Ingram?

[Paul Pabst]

No. 2017. This player? Rookie with the Lakers. Had 38.

[Dan Patrick]

Paul D'Angelo Russell. No.

[Paul Pabst]

Seaton Lonzo. No. Kyle Kuzma. Oh, Kuzma.

[Dan Patrick]

How?

[Paul Pabst]

Remember he used to play in the NBA. Now he just plays for the Wizards.

[Dan Patrick]

He's even given up his tunnel outfits, too. Oh.

[Paul Pabst]

Oh, is he? Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

That's big news.

[Paul Pabst]

Oh. Guy supposed to focus on basketball. Here is LeBron James after the game on the Lakers. Finding Dalton Connect.

[Dan Patrick]

They didn't find DK. The other 16 teams it up.

[Paul Pabst]

Did anybody watch Them, they just didn't it up. Play of the Day brought to you by Tireck.com, the official Tire expert of the Dan Patrick show. Go to tire act.com dan Tire Decision Guide Full lineup of Michelin tires. Special offers, Free road hazard protection, mobile tire installation. Tire rack.com is the way tire buying should be. Yeah, this is the problem that happened with everybody talking about Bronnie James going in the second round. When the Lakers drafted Dalton Connect, and I warned you, I said, focus on him. He can be the best shooter on the team. He was the SEC player of the year. He said, well, he might be the second best shooter on the team. That's behind the coach, J.J. redick. But Dalton Connect is not afraid and he can take you off the dribble. But he is a great outside shooter. And if you saw what he did at Tennessee, you shouldn't be surprised at what you're seeing here. And he's getting an opportunity. The problem that you have and players talk about this, when you play with somebody who is great, if you play with Kobe, you play with Mike, you play with Larry, you defer to them. You play with Steph Curry, like, why am I taking a shot? They're probably better. Or it's a better option for them. Dalton Connect has to get comfortable taking these shots and not deferring because you got AD and you have LeBron. And if he feels like even Reeves, like, if he feels like he is a legitimate second, third, fourth option and doesn't have to think about that, that confidence level goes through the roof. Yes. Marvin.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. With Dawn Connect, him falling to 17, I think he was just a victim of ageism because if he was 19, the Rockets would have taken him at number three instead of Reed Shepard. He's 23 years old.

[Paul Pabst]

Yeah. If he played the way he did at Tennessee. I mean, Reed shepherd played really well at Kentucky his final year and in the summer league. Played really well. But you're right, Dalton connects probably 24 maybe. I think he came in from what Northern Colorado said. Sound about right? Yes. Paul.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Dalton Connect is one of those transfer portal guys. He lit up the big sky as a sophomore. Actually, he was. He was a senior. He went juco, then Northern Colorado and then Tennessee last year for one season, averaged 22 points a game. He's. He's almost like a college quarterback, transfer portal guy, one big.

[Paul Pabst]

Is he 24? He's probably around 23. 24. He's 23 years old. Okay. All right. Yeah, it's a nice story. They need it. He's a really good shooter, and they've really lacked having that knockdown shooter because LeBron can drive. And if he, you know, kicks out, you got somebody who's going to knock down these shots here. Doug in Port Orange. Hi, Doug. What's on your mind today? Hey.

[Dan Patrick]

Hey, Dan. I just have two questions. Lifetime Georgia Bulldog fan, don't understand how we are so far behind Texas and the cfp. But my real question is, since I'm a lifelong fan, last three out of four years doing pretty good, my wife wants to start watching games with me. And as a licensed marriage and family therapist, I'm not a sports licensed marriage and family therapist. So what should I do? Like a true friend, I watched in.

[Paul Pabst]

My office hold up like a psycho.

[Dan Patrick]

So your advice, sir?

[Paul Pabst]

Well, if. If you love your wife and enjoy her company, it could be a nice thing to do together. But I've been in those situations before where you're. You end up answering a lot of questions that you wouldn't normally answer or that you don't want to because you're caught up in the game. But I still think there should be a sports app so you can ask questions, and maybe you could do that and not interrupt the flow of you watching the game. But I like taking my wife to a game because that experience, there's a lot of things going on instead of just locked into a tv, but hold hands, eat, pop, feed each other popcorn. Yes, Todd, if your partner has, and.

[Dan Patrick]

I don't know how you define a workable knowledge of the sport or what's going on, it can be very pleasant. But if they have no idea what's any of the rules or who they are or anything, it can be, I would think, very tedious and not make for a pleasant experience while you're focused on screaming and yelling at the tv, at your team.

[Paul Pabst]

Thank you, Todd. Yes, Paul?

[Dan Patrick]

I think my wife is casually into sports. She knows, like the headlines and the big stars. She loves a good tailgate. She'll go to the tailgate without caring what the game is. I think I like that my wife is not hardcore sports fan. It's a nice break.

[Paul Pabst]

Yeah. When I go home, I'm okay with not hearing about whatever, you know, Mike McCarthy or Deion Sanders or any of those things, it's kind of nice. But then when, you know, when something will go across social media, then all of a sudden your daughters are bringing it up, that's when you know, all right, I got to address this. But I make them. They got a. If they want to sit and watch the game, then watch the game. I'll be more than happy to answer your questions. Because now they're like, why didn't you tell us about sports, Dad? I go, you guys didn't want to know about sports. Now all of a sudden they meet, you know, guys, these guys are saying, can you ask your dad about, you know, whatever? And they're like, we didn't. We don't know the answers. Like you could have. He chose not to. All right, update the poll results there, Seaton.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, we got up there right now. New York team in better shape. The jets or the Giants? Right now the Giants running away with it about 72% of the vote.

[Paul Pabst]

God. When the story comes out that the owner wanted to bench Aaron Rodgers and maybe that's the right call, but it's not the right call after four weeks. And then you're going to fire. You're going to fire the coach and not even tell the GM you're firing the coach. Start at the top. It'll eventually work its way down. And that's certainly what's happened with the jets once again. John Elway will join us in about 10 minutes from now. Paul Skene's the Pirates rookie as well. Next hour.

[Dan Patrick]

New beer when you smell a citrusy aroma. It smells like sunshine and oranges. You see the bartender pouring a beer that looks refreshing.

[Paul Pabst]

Only one problem.

[Dan Patrick]

You have no clue how to pronounce the name Jiali. Is that even English? The bartender is now heading your way as you're about to order nice cold jai alai. You hear, can I get a hai Li hi Ly.

[Paul Pabst]

What's up, everybody? It's Peter Schrager. We're back for the season with Peter Schrager. In each episode of this season, I'm going to empty my proverbial notebook and take you inside and behind the scenes on the conversations that happen at the highest levels of NFL franchises. You see, you'll be in the front office of an NFL team one week, but the next week you're going to be at a bar elbow to elbow with some of your favorite celebrities laughing about football, like Kansas City Chiefs fan Paul Rudd. By the way, can I just point out how much I like the music of this podcast? Awesome.
