Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. A happy 2026 in Jonas. I honestly, as an Ohio State fan, could not pick a worse morning to get up and start a day, let alone an entire new year, after the debacle last night in Dallas.
- [03:04]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Hold on a second. You don't want to open up with the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl. You don't break down that.
- [03:10]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
See you later, Gary Danielson.

Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
We're gonna.

Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
The cheese. It's Citrus Bowl. Arch Manning throwing shade at the Citrus Bowl. If I would have said, It's 55 degrees out, I don't care. Let's go skating on the pond, that would have been a better decision than coming in today after what happened last night. My resolution for 20, 20, 26. Better planning. Better planning. I. It's not that I thought Ohio State would win. I just never took into account what would happen if they lost. And it was on full display last night, if not even for one second of the game. Miami had the Buckeyes by the neck, and the Canes are onto the college football semifinals, and there will not be a repeat champion in college football.
- [03:55]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
It didn't. It feel like, first of all, happy New Year to. To everybody listening who's making us a part of their. The first or second listen or whatever, your first moments of 2026. But didn't it feel like watching that game, it was just kind of meant to be Miami's night? Like, everything just seemed like the. Like Tony dropping the ball and it bouncing back up to it. Like, everything just seemed to go the way of the Canes last night. And it just. Ohio State looks flat, man. They look flat. And that's been the story with whether we want to get into teams with a buyer 05. But it's a, you know, it's a small sample size, so what does that really mean? It just looked like Miami was ready to go and Ohio State was flat and couldn't really get it going until the second half.
- [04:39]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Carson Wentz turns into Marshawn lynch and is, like, running over guys for first downs. Like, this is like there was. It was. It was a crazy night. And even when you thought maybe Ohio State had a chance, miss a field goal, which has been a bugaboo of theirs, especially in games that they've. They've lost previously, the pressure got to Julian saying, but the most crazy thing of all, of all of this that I like my takeaway in looking at this is how much people hate Ohio State and How much they actually probably hate the Big Ten more than the sec. And the reason that I say this is last night on social media, the sense that I got, and it may have been Jonas, because of the lead in. Remember the Big Ten record of these bowl games. You know, Big Ten, 6 and 1SEC had two wins. One of them was in a game between the SEC and the sec. That was one of their wins heading into.
- [05:32]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Ironically, they didn't count that as a loss, though.
- [05:36]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Move that off to the side. Forget about that, but think about this. Think about the days of when you were growing up watching football. I was growing up watching football. So many of us were watching football. It's not like the U was everyone's favorite. And when you get to the NFL, everybody hated the Dallas Cowboys. Except if you were a Cowboys fan.
- [05:57]
Tire Rack Announcer
Yeah.
- [05:58]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
So last night I felt this sense of everyone is on the side of Michael Irvin in the U. Like, his playmakers on the sidelines. He's doing his thing.
- [06:08]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
BTA belt ass Dan, first down, and.
- [06:13]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Ray Lewis is standing there like, dude, I'm like, america is behind the Canes.
- [06:18]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
I. I get it. If you want to be an alum and you want to go root on your team, I totally get it. But when Michael Irvin's got a belt and he's whipping a G parade bucket after the gate, like, what are we doing here, dude? Like, what is happening?
- [06:30]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Same shirt again. The U that, like, goes along the. The arms and the. The same deal. Like, I. Listen, I. I honestly got a kick out of it against Texas A and M. Not so much last night as. As I thought that maybe I would. Obviously being facetious, but that's the point is, like, people are like, yeah, do your thing, Michael Irvin.
- [06:50]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Oh, yeah, do your thing, America's team.
- [06:52]
Tire Rack Announcer
Yeah.
- [06:52]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Does everybody remember there was a T shirt that was Catholics versus convicts. Do you know who the convicts were? It was that team that Michael Irvin was putting belt to ass on a Gatorade jug for. Like, that was the convicts on that side of it.
- [07:06]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
And the last night in the final day of 2025, it's what America can rally behind. Republicans and Democrats coming together, the religions uniting everyone of race, religion and color coming behind the Miami Hurricanes as they knock off the big tens, Ohio State Buckeyes.
- [07:27]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
I mean, you know, maybe it was you. A little payback for what happened in 2003. You know, just the awful. The. The. The call that was made that. That cost, you know, ken Dorsey and company a national championship and Willis McGahey's knee turning into a windsock like that. You know, there was all that that went on, but I just, it no, like there can never be a middle ground in college football. It is. And you mentioned politics. It's one side. Like you either really love something or you absolutely hate it. And, and that was on.
- [08:00]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Yeah. Do you think Notre Dame fans were cheering for Ohio State? Cause I think that would be a tough cheer for them. But with Miami's place in all of this. Because I think that's also the now, now part of this conversation is because so much was made about Miami's inclusion into the bracket with Notre Dame obviously being left out. But like, is, is there a sense now that Miami has arrived? Because I've never bought into that in the NCAA tournament. When a fight, like a first four team makes a run like VCU and it's like, you know, they show belong. And I'm like, well no, the resume would have showed that they, they belong. But I'm trying to decipher if it's different in college football because of how small this landscape is.
- [08:42]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Like, I have a buddy who's a Miami fan and he was like, man, it's crazy that they even had that there was any conversation about them not getting in. And it's like, but not really, like, it's not really crazy. Like, like you what your resume is your resume. And if they had slip ups during the regular season, you should be held accountable for that. And they did. So once you get in and it's a one, a one game situation and it's a, it's a, you know, win in advance situation, like the NCAA tournament, like once you're in the door, it opens up all sorts of opportunities, all sorts of potential. It doesn't justify why you should be in just because you made a run. Just like I don't know that it justifies why James Madison shouldn't have been in because they got wiped out. That's very possible. That could happen. Look, Miami could get annihilated next game against Georgia like that that's really possible and really could happen. It's these one, you don't get mult chances to play that game out. If they're playing a best of five, Ohio State probably wins three to one. Like they'll win the next three games and move on. Yeah, I look at it and I go, once you get an opportunity to go in, anybody can play the lotto. Like nobody's got an advantage over somebody else. Miami played the lotto, they got in, they won, now they Move on. I don't know if this justifies them getting in there.
- [09:58]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Yeah. And there's, there's no way that. Because I look at what went wrong with the game last night from the Ohio State perspective, and the missed field goal was something, but wasn't nothing, but it wasn't everything. It was what happened on the defensive line with Miami getting after Julian Sand. Ohio State's run game had moments and really like the final score is 24 to 14. It was probably a 24 to 14 game, but as it played out it was closer with 17 to 14. You know, at a time Ohio State had a chance to end up taking the lead. But when you look at how Miami dominated the first, it was domination, you know, and it was 14 to nothing going going into halftime, dominated time of possession, dominated the line of scrimmage. They even had a turnover. But they turnover was kind of changed on the pick six. That Miami end ended up happening. The point being is I don't think that we look at Miami now and say, wow, that ACC was something. Yeah, yeah. Like, like look, I mean, they did.
- [10:57]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Win that conference, right? Oh, no. Okay.
- [11:00]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
They. Well, no, they lost in the championship game, right?
- [11:03]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Yeah.
- [11:05]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
But the point being is when we're trying to decipher these conference strengths now this is a huge hit for Ohio State because Ohio State's resume was put into question on who they played and who they didn't play. Now a lot of that's not necessarily their fault. Their fault. It's not their fault that James Franklin got fired by Penn State and Drew Allergies ends up suffering a season ending injury. And Penn State wasn't the preseason national champion chip contender that you thought they were going to be. They ended up putting te they having Texas on the schedule. Well, Texas maybe doesn't live up to what their preseason billing was. That's really not Ohio State's fault in this scenario. However, when you're talking about conference supremacy, which is what we were talking about with people from the Big Ten, including myself, trying to make these bowl games mean something and say, see the big Tens, you know, up to a certain point, undefeated. Now, Nebraska got ran over by Utah in the Las Vegas Bowl, Michigan lost to Texas, and now Ohio State ends up falling to Miami. It wasn't a banner day for the Big Ten on New Year's Eve, but when we're trying to decipher on what conference is better, on what conference is worse, it's tough to do it when you're doing it in conference play. Cause you have no idea on who is good and who isn't good. So the only thing that you have are the few non conference opportunities. And as crazy as it is the bowl season or the playoffs in the bowl season we know is ridiculous with all of the players that are sitting out for certain schools or some that just aren't playing the bowl game, some are going into the NFL draft. The College Football Playoff at least gives you these schools at full strength. And so now the Big Ten doesn't have a lot of bragging rights because one of their powers, now it's up to Indiana and Oregon to carry it. But their main power and defending national champion did not look the part last night. And that's not good for the Big Ten.
- [12:48]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Yeah, it came out completely flat. As we mentioned, your guy Ryan Day, one of the all time great beards and I saw a lot of people last night making jokes about he needs to go back and dye his beard. He needs, it's like, okay, like let's stop focus on the negative stuff. Stuff like it wasn't that long ago we opened up the year and I can remember being on the air and one of the big things going on on social media with Ryan Day was whether or not he had a nipple piercing because there was some picture that was posted of him doing a halftime interview with, with Jenny Taft and it's like, oh no, that was just AI generated.
- [13:21]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Yeah.
- [13:23]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Like, wait, what?
- [13:25]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Surprised? It was the barbell, right? Not like a ring.
- [13:28]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Yeah, not a ring. Like I would think it'd be like a, you know, like a Buckeye. Like the Ohio, The HorseShoe championship ring.
- [13:34]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Y1 last year.
- [13:35]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Exactly. But instead. No, that was the, that was the making the round. It's like the first, first weekend of college football, you know, other than week zero and it's Texas, Ohio State and we're focused on Ryan Day's nipple piercing. But your guy Ryan Day did talk afterwards in dealing with the defeat to the Miami Hurricanes, America's team post game.
- [13:54]
Ryan Day (Ohio State Head Coach)
You know, we, we got, obviously got a, a team of guys that, you know, have poured a lot into this program. And you know, some, some guys, this will be their last game as Buckeyes and so it's going to hurt and sting and so, you know, I just, I wanted to make sure that they still know how much we appreciate everything they do and everything they've done for this program. But it hurts right now and it hurts for those guys. And so, you know, they put a lot of work and time into this thing. So it's our job as coaches to make sure that, you know, we figure out ways to put them in a situation to be successful. So at the end of the day, it's our responsibility to do that. That and we got to take a hard look at that and figure out what it is that we got to get done to get better.
- [14:35]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
That was Ryan Day, Ohio State head coach. Now it does put to test the theory, beat Michigan or win a national title.
- [14:42]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
I, yeah, honestly, like the only game that mattered this year was November 29.
- [14:49]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
2025, and ultimately the last one of their season.
- [14:52]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Yes, yes. And I don't, I don't know if that. I, I felt it played a role into the Indiana game. I don't know if it played a role into. To this game. I think that they were further along with it. I do think that some people thought, oh, it's playoff time. Just turn it. They'll turn it on again and go on a run like we have. We have one playoff of, of evidence that Ohio State like would. Would do this sort of thing. And that was last year. But I think people just assumed maybe they would go on a run again because it's playoff time and that's what they do. And that's. That never was a reality. In fact, Jonas, when you talk about the Michigan win, the Michigan team that they beat wasn't close to the previous Michigan teams that had won the last four against Ohio State. Indiana did a good job along the offensive and defensive lines in the Big Ten title game. And Miami had an edge like their defensive line last night was able to get after Julian saying, yeah, and at times keep the run game in check. The only reason I'm not trying to make this Ohio State post game. But the point is this, they're losing Brian Hartline, co offense offensive coordinator and he's going to South Florida as their head coach. And Brian Hartline's the reason that Jeremiah Smith is there. He's the reason that Marvin Harrison Jr. Went there a Mecca Abuka and all of these wide receivers. But sometimes you have to win along the line of. Line of scrimmage. And that's going to be interesting to see how Ohio State carries on. Are you still able to bring in the type of talent at the receiver position with now your main guy in Tampa or now are you going to be able to try to pivot to try to strengthen those lines? Because that was the best part of the Urban Meyer run. They were good up front and they ran the football and they had some of the best defensive linemen that you'd ever Seen, that's. That was the recipe. And I still think that's the recipe in college football. So that's what's going to be interesting to see from Ohio State from here on out. Because I think in the last two games, it didn't matter if he had Carnell Tate and Jeremiah Smith If Chris Henry Jr. Is coming in next year. It's what you do up front that's going to be the real big test for Ryan Day.
- [16:55]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
And I also. And let me defend you in this regard. If there's people listening that go, oh, well, this is Ohio State post game. I'm sorry, that's the story here. Did anybody see Miami's first edition of their appearance in the College Football Playoff this year? That was one of the worst games I've ever seen in my life. Okay. Miami and Texas A and M set football back all three phases at least 35 years. That was awful. So yet nobody expected this. It's why they were as big of an underdog as they were going into it. So the fact that the defending national champions, who you would assume would have a red ass, would come in trying to win another title, losing to Indiana in the way that they did, where all these fluky things happened and Indiana pulled off the miracle and what like, yeah, that is the story. This was a big upset. This isn't. Look, if, if Oregon loses the Texas Tech, like Texas Tech's a slight underdog and, and we're, you know, we can get into the Dan Lanning comments and all that, but this was a big upset. A lot of people didn't think Miami could do this. Congratulations to them. But you do have to start to look at what happens now because there was a lot of conversation about can Ohio State be Michigan? They did. And now the conversation becomes a real one. You mentioned Brian Hartline leaving. You mentioned, like, it feels like they've got their quarterback of the future, but if he doesn't have the guys to throw to, then what? I think all that's pertinent.
- [18:17]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Ye It's Miami had 85% of America behind them. And of those four quarterfinal games that we have, the three that we have coming up today, not one can match the result of what last night was like. Even if, if Alabama beats Indiana, like, it's like we're like, oh, of course it's Alabama, you know, right. Or Indiana wins. It's all right, Indiana's rolling. But to your point about Texas Tech and Oregon and the same thing with the SEC rematch of Ole Miss beats Georgia in an upset you're like, wow, Lane Kiffin really maybe wasn't needed there. But like, this is the, this is the big one. Just because of Ohio State, because of the Big Ten, because they're the defending national champions and because, let's be honest, everybody pretty much hates them. And people are cheering with Michael Irvin because of that.
- [19:03]
Tire Rack Announcer
Yeah.
- [19:03]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)

- [19:37]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)

Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Mark. On the south side of Chicago. No prisoners taken whatsoever.

Apparently no prisoners.

Mark's. New Year's resolution take even less prisoners.
- [28:42]
Tire Rack Announcer
Yeah.

Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Like, even less than he has before. And that was none prior, by the way.
- [28:46]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Mark was arrested for urinating on the side of Wrigley Field one time.

Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
He's got a Kamisky tattoo somewhere on his mind, Dude.

Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
They rate something where somebody may or may not have been shot in the outfield and nobody still knows. Like. Yeah, we're not sure. We're not really sure what happened.
- [29:21]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Look at this beautiful skyline of Chicago. Look at. Look. We could put the stadium. Why don't we just do it the other way? Yeah, let's just get a picture of the freeway. That's okay. Sounds good to me.
- [29:34]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
That's great.
- [29:36]
Tire Rack Announcer
Great.
- [29:36]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Those same people probably came up with the Week 18 schedule in the NFL.
- [29:40]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Oh, geez. Are you.
- [29:42]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Are you jacked for Raven? Steelers.
- [29:48]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Here's my problem with the Ravens and the Steelers, all right? And I want to say this is somebody who admittedly pick the Ravens to go to the super bowl, all right? So the Ravens and Packers were my super bowl pick before the season. And my problem with the Ravens is that I'm pot committed to it, so I just have to keep on riding with them and acknowledging at the same time they're not good. Like at some point, like, we can all stop with this. Yeah, but you know what? If they can just get this friend, it's week 18, okay? We got four months of evidence, like, we know who's good, we know who's not good, and they're not very good, and neither is Pittsburgh.
- [30:30]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Everybody just wants to think that it's going to be the run brigade with Lamar Jackson, who hasn't shown he's been able to run since week four, and Derek Henry. And the problem is with your theory, Jonas is Derrick Henry last week showed that he could run. So now it gives ammunition to all the people who actually think the Raiders or the Ravens have something thing going that now is when it turns on.
- [30:54]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Yeah, me. I'm one of them. Yes, yes, of course. I take the bait every time. Hey, that stripper really likes me. No, she doesn't. She does not.
- [31:03]
Tire Rack Announcer
Okay?
- [31:03]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
You. You are a paycheck. You're cash.
- [31:06]
Tire Rack Announcer
That's it.
- [31:06]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
She does not care. And I'm the same guy fall victim to this every time. And I'll let you know this right now, I'm probably gonna bet on the Ravens. I probably am. And they're probably gonna kick me right in the nuts like they've done all year long. That's probably how it's gonna be go. And then the conversation becomes the future of Aaron Rodgers. That's the other big storyline that goes along with all this. Mike Tomlin, the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, he spoke about this potentially being the final game for Aaron Rodgers. Let's take a listen.
- [31:35]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
I don't know that I've taken time to ponder that. I'm just committed to making sure that it's not. He's certainly been an awesome contributor to our efforts, and not only from a talent perspective and an experience perspective, but just his professionalism, his relationship with the game, his love for his teammates, and his willingness to help them grow and get better and gain better understanding each and every day has been. Has been cool to be a part of.
- [32:01]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Here's what I do know. If this week is an Aaron Rodgers final game, the next week will be. So there's there is that this is a.
- [32:10]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
And that is the point that I just don't understand about the scheduling. And when I look at the Saturday schedule, it's the same thing for the Buccaneers and Panthers, right? Like, there's just Ravens and Steelers have way more cachet than the Buccaneers and Panthers.
- [32:27]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
And I don't mean to sound who are the Bucks and the Panthers, right? Oh, that division still exists. Yeah. Oh, I had no idea.
- [32:34]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
As we go, the NFC mouth.
- [32:38]
Odoo Business Software Announcer
The.
- [32:38]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
49Ers and Seahawks game may not have the higher stakes to it, but it's just a better football game, right?
- [32:48]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Like, yes.
- [32:48]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Like, it's just, it's I I don't know why in I know why they would shove the NFC east down our throats where it's a Cowboys, Giants, Eagles, Cowboys, Giants, Eagles, Commanders, Cowboys because of those markets. And we all know growing up that the NFC east got so much favoritism with TV and in the broadcast windows, not so much now. But it's still there. Like, it's still like the Giants get a bunch more primetime games than they probably should. And I feel like the it's the same way with the Steelers and Ravens. And while it may at one point have been the greatest rivalry in the NFL going on at that time, not of all time, but going on at that time, that's not this and you're absolutely right. Of. Of if the Steelers win. Yeah. There's just one more like this.
- [33:37]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Yeah.
- [33:37]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Now is where you take your victory lap and go around the field and celebrate because it's not going to happen after the wild card game.
- [33:44]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
It's a. It's the one and done. And that's the problem I have with Pittsburgh. And look, is it. Would it be nice to have Rogers in the playoffs once again? Of course. Like, yeah, that would be great. He's one of the all time greats, whatever you feel about him, to have him out there, that would be awesome. The problem is it's the same Steelers we've seen the last 10 years that they've gone to the playoffs and what did the last 10 years they've gone to the playoffs look like? They get in and they're one and done. We've seen this story so many times before and I would agree that Rogers has been an upgrade over what they've had at quarterback, but let's not pretend like he's lighting the league on fire. And I don't say that to be disrespectful to him or anything. I just, I look at the offense and I go, all right, like, if Jalen Warren isn't, you know, ripping off a 50, 60 yard run, like, what are we talking about here? Like Kenneth Gainwell if he's not, and then DK Metcalfe, you know, is beating up some goofball in Detroit, so he's not available. It's like. So I look at it and I go, oh, yeah, it's all on the line. And it was, you know, the least surprising thing in the world that NBC was going to roll that out for their Sunday Night Football game. I totally understand. I get it. If I had to pick, I think Baltimore is probably the more likely to make a run, but I'm not confident in that.
- [35:00]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Yeah, I am not either because it's a stretch of three games. And I think that last week against Green Bay fooled people. I also think that people were fooled that these coaches really have their jobs on the line, that the loser could go home. Really, with, with. Especially with Pittsburgh. Mike Tomlin's not going anywhere. I mean, like, I know they lost last week to the Browns, but you can, you can blame it on DK Metcalf if you want. You can blame it on Aaron Rodgers.
- [35:26]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Do you hear what Adam Schefter said? Adam Schefter said? I think it was on the Pat McAfee show starring AJ Hawk and Adam Schefter. Said, well, you know, there's a, there's a chance that one of these guys could be in TV next year, that they could just walk in, that the loser could walk in and say, you know, know what? I think it's time. Yeah, there's a chance that could happen every year. Okay. Like, there's like, if they decided they want it out, there's a chance they could do that at any time. Like, I don't know if you're aware of this.
- [35:51]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
I, I, I love every network. Every network would be. Hello, is this the Tomlin residence?
- [35:57]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Yeah.
- [35:58]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Hello, is John Harbaugh in there? We're knocking down your door. Like, this guy is made for tv. I love all the made for TV guys that aren't made for tv. You know, like, let's just put them.
- [36:08]
Richard Sherman (Richard Sherman Podcast Host)
In the booth now.
- [36:09]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
I don't know, we sign them to a five year deal. Let's just get rid.
- [36:12]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
That's, that's, Remember, they put Bruce Arians in the booth. They're like, hey, Bruce, you can't curse. Oh, all right. See you guys.
- [36:19]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Bruce Arians also sounded like Bob Ross. Like he had the painting voice. Like, if you actually listen to Bruce Arians, I don't know if there's a way we could. I highly doubt in our system we have Bruce Arians, but if we do. I always felt like he sounded like Bob Ross, but, yeah, it's a ba. When he's done, he's straight to the booth.
- [36:36]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Yeah. That personality.
- [36:38]
Tire Rack Announcer
Yeah.
- [36:38]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
How about that mouth? Yeah, that kind of goes. Goes part of it.
- [36:40]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The one thing with the Ravens that I wondered, because I still don't think that John Harbaugh is going anywhere, but did you find it funny that over the last couple of weeks, all of a sudden these stories kind of started to pop out. Oh, yeah, John Harbaugh's not, not listening to him, blah, blah, blah. And then all of a sudden, Baltimore sun column. Lamar sleeps in, in meetings.
- [37:03]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Yeah.
- [37:03]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Mike Preston practices PM only. No AM Because Lamar is still sleeping.
- [37:10]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
And he's up playing video games.
- [37:11]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Yes. Up late last night. Now, there may be concerns something going on there that to me seemed contrived at the time. So when you're talking about, is there something going on? Could there be something going on? I thought that there, there was more to that. How are you going to fire Mike Tomlin or have Mike Tomlin move on after this year when it hasn't happened in the previous four years? You know, like, I just, I don't know, like, why now is the time, like, where enough's enough. I don't think it's a James Franklin sort of thing at all. I think that there's way more equity that Tomlin has with the Steeler than you would have in that college football situation. But it's. When you're talking about, I just don't think that this is a loser goes home and ends up next to, you know, Nate Burleson on the NFL, cbs.
- [38:00]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
I'm with you. And I also think the. There is more to. I guess, I guess there's more validity I would buy into to there being problems in Baltimore than in Pittsburgh because, man, like, there was way too many details given in that article by Mike Preston. And everybody that I've talked to is like, nah, Mike Preston's pretty connected. Like, he's like, he's not going to just make that up. Like, that came from somewhere and it's. Well, he's up playing video games and he's, you know, he needs to, he needs to, you know, be training at the facility and he needs to, he needs to be there and not show up for one day at camp and then leave because he's got an illness. Like, I think yesterday was the first Wednesday day Lamar Jackson had practiced in like two months. It had either been an illness or, like, he's always got the flu. There's always some, like, there's always something. You remember that one random Monday night game where he's still trying to tell everybody, oh, no, I didn't have to use the bathroom. Like, dude, you almost crapped your pants in the middle of a game. Like, why else were you there? Like, like what? You had to go back and check your phone? Like, what do you mean? You left the middle of a Monday night game. Game and ran to the bathroom for what other reason? It just, there's. So there's something there.
- [39:13]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Yeah. Ab. Absolutely. And it's, it's, it may have built up over these couple of years. It's not just a vet day off. Like, certain vets get day off, you know, days off, like Tom Brady. All right, we don't need you on a Wednesday when you've missed half the season and you're trying to get back in. Want to do a limited walk through? Yeah. Like, we're just not there yet. We're not, we're not at that point.
- [39:36]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
That, that's why I look at it. I go, that's one. That is the more intriguing of the two. Pittsburgh. This is just what Pittsburgh is like, It Just it's what they've been, as you. As you said, it's what they've been for a long time now. Like, if you were going to do it this year, why not the year before? The year before that? Nothing has really changed in Baltimore. It just feels like that stuff gets out there because somebody wants it out there.
- [39:58]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Yeah.
- [39:58]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
And. And now you get to see, like, how does this play out? I mean. And, you know, apparently he's. It looks like he's going to play Sunday night. So if he comes out Sunday night and, you know, he looks off or it look like there's more to that storyline than, I think, you know, what ends up happening with Pittsburgh, because I think we know how this is going to go with Pittsburgh. If they win, they're going to be out in the first round, and if they don't win, they're just going to roll it back next year. And who knows if Rogers comes back.
- [40:26]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Well, I'll tell you this much, with that crappy schedule at 1 Eastern and 4:25 Eastern, I'm going to be waiting all day for Sunday.

- [41:10]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Hank Williams Jr. Like, I remember thinking about that. Like, man, that was from my youth. Like, that's what I grew up. That was Monday Night Football. And then I heard the song, like, about a year ago. Awful, awful song. Holy Christ. That was a bad song. But that's what you grew up with.

Ready to get this thing started?

Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Like, if you. If he told me I wrote that sober. I feel you should be fired. Like, you should be fired immediately.
- [41:44]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
But nonetheless, the Saturday live bit they did with Chris Farley was great. When basically it was just Hank Williams Jr. Had to do all the matchups, you know, so it's like Bengals and the Steelers coming over tonight because the whole other song was generic, but they had to make it specific for each week. I think there's much more production put into, you know, to this one.

And you know, it's a, it's a reunion here of sorts. Roger Craig seeing his former team. Come on, man.
- [47:38]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Vikings Niners had some good games in the past. It's been a while.
- [47:42]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Yeah, it's been a while, but it is. That was, you know, a tradition, man, back in the day.
- [47:48]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
It was.
- [47:49]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
There's also a lot of New Year's traditions. You got any? Dad, I know you said my wife Life.
- [47:58]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Okay, she knew. Now, listen, New Year's isn't the same for everyone. Jonas and I are at our studios in Southern California. So it would be different if Dan and the Dan were in there on the East Coast. It's New Year's. It's 9:49. Like, we were up. It's 6:49 in the morning right now, and it's just pouring rain. But I was up at midnight having to eat 12 grapes. No idea why. My wife looked at. She's like, you've got to eat your grapes. Health and wealth or something about it. I got four in. She's like, one for each month. I'm like, I'm like, at April, like, I've got eight grapes left, and I just want to go to bed. So last night, I downed 12 grapes. Now, granted, it was about between 1202 to 1208. Took me about five minutes to down my 12 grapes. But that was my New Year's tradition last night.
- [48:49]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Well, first of all, let's get to the important stuff here. Purple or green?
- [48:53]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
These were green. Oh, so green. And I don't know if that's for the dolla dollar bill. That's what, you know, we're hoping in 2026.
- [49:01]
Tire Rack Announcer
All right.
- [49:02]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Why?
- [49:03]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
No idea. I think again, I think it's health and wealth. Like, it may be. I wanted to listen, I had a hamper that was full, and my wife yesterday is like, give me your laundry. Don't worry about it. I'm like, I'm, I, I, I can do it on New Year's Day. You don't have to worry about. She's like, no, nope. You don't do laundry on New Year's Day. Did you know that? No clue. Absolutely no clue. She goes, yeah, don't do laundry today. Bad omen for the year. Do not do laundry on New Year's Day.
- [49:32]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Really?
- [49:32]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
So when you talk about traditions, I don't know if these are traditions or these just omens or what the deal is, But I've had 12 grapes today, and I know I'm not doing laundry today. That's all that I know in bringing in 2026.
- [49:45]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Yeah, I, I didn't know, like, look, and I'll just be honest with you because I, I, I've, I told you this on the phone earlier. If I had 12 grapes, I'm ringing out my socks. Like, they would run through me like I stole something. Like, that would be taking a time.
- [49:59]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Out here on the Dan Patrick show, an early one.

- [50:13]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Yeah, I just. Yeah. We have this weird tradition. I. I still don't know how this started. I don't know why this started. But growing up as a kid, you know, like, you don't realize that you do stuff as a family. That's weird. Until you see other families and you go, oh, you guys don't do it like that. And I just remember growing up and every New Year's Day, for some reason, we would make our own sandwiches. I don't know why. There would be, like, my mom would have turkey and all this meat out there and bread, and we'd have all, like. All these trimmings. Be like, all right, let's make your own sandwich day. And we just kind of accepted it.
- [50:49]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Like charcuterie, like.

Tire Rack Announcer

- [50:57]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Yeah. Like, you just. And it's all on. You know, because we bring out the nice stuff. Paper plates. So it's all on paper plates. And there'd be, like, some chips and pretzels and all this. And I just remember getting older and being like, why? Who started? Like, where. Where did this start?
- [51:14]
Tire Rack Announcer
And.
- [51:14]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
And here's the thing. I still do it. I'm gonna do it later on. I'm gonna go to the deli, get meat, get bread that I'm never gonna finish, and then I'm gonna bring it home and do sandwich. And I don't know why.
- [51:25]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
I. I love when you're probably 19, you're with your buddies, and you're like, I'm not gonna eat. I'll just have sandwiches at your place. And they're like, what. What are you. Like, you walk in, all right, let's load up. Sammy.
- [51:38]
Tire Rack Announcer
Time.
- [51:39]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
I have no idea idea where it started, why it started, but I remember telling my wife, like, when we first got married, and I was like, all right, you know what? Tomorrow is New Year's Day. She goes, yeah, because her birthday is the day after. And she's probably thinking. I'm like, oh, yeah, it's a big lead into your birthday. And I'm like, make your own sandwiches. She goes, what?
- [51:58]
Tire Rack Announcer
What?
- [51:59]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
And I said, yeah, that's just what we did growing up. No, I. Literally, to this day, it doesn't make any sense. There's not. Like, it makes no sense whatsoever whatsoever.
- [52:08]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
Babe, it's myos. Myos. Make your own sandwiches.
- [52:12]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
I don't, I, I don't, I don't get. But I'm still gonna do it. Like, I, I'm, I'm going to do it. And you know what? Next New Year's, you're gonna have 12 more grapes. So you got that to look forward to.
- [52:23]
Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
I, I, I can't wait. It's by, by the way, there will be zero grapes eaten in the other 364 days of this year. So I'm not necessarily a grape gu. Gum, Love, grape candy, grapes, you know, 12 of them at. 12 of them at 1202 in the morning when you have to get up. That's gonna do it for you.
- [52:46]
Jonas Knox (Co-host / Analyst)
Okay, so grape popsicles. Big fan.

Dan Byer (Dan Patrick Show Host)
