I can't tell you how many times I've spilled something on my shirt right before walking out the door. And it's always while I'm wearing a white shirt too. And somehow that's the exact moment I realize I'm out of stain remover and I don't have another clean shirt to change into. Unpredictable moments like that are part of everyday life.

Your phone calls. It's a Monday best and worst of the weekend. We what you saw that you liked, you didn't like. 877-3DP show operator Tyler sitting by.

This first hour brought to you by RK zero proof, the world's first zero proof spirits with their patented warm molecule, same feel, zero alcohol. All the cheers, none of the regrets. Try it at R K a r k a y 0 proof play of the day poll question stat of the day. All of that forthcoming. Congratulations to the Seahawks who dominated the Patriots 29 13. Although it's an interesting way to say dominating the Patriots because it certainly felt that way. But it was only nine to nothing. And you kept thinking, golly, if they get a pick six, they get a fumble, they get maybe a long run, something here. And we kept waiting for something here. And then we had an exciting fourth quarter. But it was one of those games where I kept thinking, is New England going to steal this? This great defensive performance by Seattle will be wasted by a couple of plays. But give credit to Seattle. They came up with big plays when they needed to. Drake May was sacked six times. Sam Darnold played okay. Drake May played okay in the fourth quarter. Kenneth Walker Jr. The third named most valuable player. After the game, Sam Darnold talked about what this moment meant.
- [04:13]
Bill Cowher
Sam, what does this moment mean?
- [04:15]
Dan Patrick
It's unbelievable. You know, just everything that's, that's happened in my career. But to do it with this team, I wouldn't want in any other way so proud of our guys, our defense. I mean, I can't say enough great things about our defense, our special teams. I know we won the super bowl, but we could have been a little bit better on offense, but I don't care care about that right now. It's an unbelievable feeling, man. I'm just so happy for the, for the guys in the locker room and the coaches that put in so much effort throughout the whole season. That defense was spectacular. They were wonderful. And you know, I think we all thought during the year that New England was going to be there a year earlier because it's a very young team. They got cap space, they got draft picks. I mean, they are set up for the future and they did look like they were a year too early there. Seattle, wow, that was impressive, really, from start to finish. And I Thought Chris Collinsworth brought up a great point. New England's defense in the first half was so aggressive, overly aggressive, as if to say, we have to win it with defense. We don't have enough offense. And that's why I picked Seattle to win 24 13. I didn't think New England could score 20 points. Therefore, it came down to could Seattle score 20 points? They ended up with 29. But Mike McDonald, a lot of praise. He was calling the defensive plays while being the head coach, and that defense was everywhere, swarming. And even New England's Christian Gonzalez, golly, he made some big plays, but, you know, you had too many players on Seattle making too many plays. And Kenneth Walker, when you're around running backs like that, because he's not tall, and you go, how is he so fast? But he's so good. And there's one play in particular, and Collinsworth even pointed this out. He was kind of walking up to the line of scrimmage. I mean, Levy on Bell created a whole new running style. And here was Kenneth Walker just kind of walking up, and then, boom, he sees his moment and takes advantage of it. They had enough plays to be able to keep New England's defense honest, but it doesn't matter. The stats for Sam Darnold and I know you can be really picky. We'll go back and look at Tom Brady's first couple of Super Bowls. Okay? They won with defense. They didn't ask much. Peyton Manning's last Super bowl, he didn't do anything. Sometimes you're along for the ride, but what you did to get your team to that point where you can be along for the ride. Give Sam Darnold a lot of credit because you get kicked to the curb. You've played for five teams, and now you're a Super bowl champ. The Seahawks head coach, Mike McDonald, on the decision to bring Sam Darnold to Seattle. John deserves a lot of credit. That process, you know, it's kind of unchartered waters that you have to navigate. And, you know, to the outside eye, probably seemed like it happened fast. But he did a great job of guiding us through all those decisions. We're on record with it. Clint had a relationship with him. There's a lot of people in our building that knew Sam that, you know, could vouch for who he was as a person. The tape backed it up. I think people made too big of a deal of him of, like, the last two games in the season, which I thought was just dumb. Like, watch the whole season. The guy Played great all year. He came into Lumen and beat us. They won like 14 games. So Clint knew he could do the stuff that we want him to do in our, in our, in our offense. And then let's rock and roll. I think it's kind of sloppy take if you say it was not a good football game, because then you're missing out on the dominance of that Seattle defense. I mean, you can go back to the 85 Bears against the Patriots, you might say that wasn't a good game. You're missing the point. You're watching a historical performance by the defense, and that's what you had with Seattle, the fourth Super bowl team in history to allow fewer than 14 points, get six or more sacks and score a defensive touchdown. The Broncos did that in Super Bowl 50 when they dominated the Panthers. The Bears did that when they beat the Patriots 46 to 10. And then the Raiders going back to the Jack Squire pick six on Joe Theisman, that was 38 to nine. That's pretty good company there with some great defenses. And I know. And it comes down to, as I tell you, every single year at this time, if you can run the football and play defense, you can win the Super Bowl. If you get to this point, this game, and given all the tension and how Super Bowls get out of hand, one mistake and then it leads to another. If you can run the football, be as close to turnover free and play great defense, you'll win. And that's what happened again last night. So all the fanfare for throwing the ball wide open offenses, it came down to Kenneth Walker running the football and that defense being unbelievable. All right, Seaton poll question for hour one is going to be what?
- [09:07]
Seaton
Got a couple options here for you. Sort of off that topic. Which unit deserves most credit for Seattle's win? The pass, the pass rush, secondary, run game or special teams?
- [09:18]
Dan Patrick
Special teams. Special teams. I, I mean, everybody was really good that you mentioned, but when you, they place such an emphasis on special teams in Seattle, and when your field goal kicker and your punter are changing the game, they're making their field goals and their, their punts are inside the 10 yard line. Huge.
- [09:41]
Seaton
Massive.
- [09:42]
Dan Patrick
And in what that does, psychologically, when you had the ball at the 20 or 25 or you have it at the 1 and you're not moving the ball at all and you have no big play capabilities, I thought that was just devastating for the Patriots. But that, that pass rush, if you don't have to blitz, man, is that an advantage? And Tony Dungy talked about that we've seen these moments where you go, they don't even have to rush another guy, they just have four. And that allows the secondary. If you got four going, you got a bunch of guys back there and you had nobody who was going to beat you over the top. Seattle never worried about getting beat deep. It was all right in front of them. Yeah.
- [10:29]
Paul
Paul Michael Dixon, the punter for the Seahawks, seven punts, 48 yard average, three of them down inside the six yard line, two returned for a total of four yards. He also was the holder on all the kicks and he got a couple.
- [10:43]
Dan Patrick
Bad snaps, but to be able to pin them back, I don't think he had a touchback in the playoffs. Seattle didn't have a turnover in the playoffs. I mean, those things don't happen. And I think with Sam Darnold you were probably waiting for. Now, he didn't play good in the first half and I thought New England had a couple of chances. So certainly for interceptions, maybe a pick six. But that Seattle defense was fun to watch, dominating. And that left side of the Patriots offensive line, two rookies over there. I was fixated on that side of the ball for the first. I was just. I kept watching and those guys were drowning. They were drowning there in Seattle Green. And you could tell Drake May, I mean, that's where you see ghosts. You. Sam Darnold famously said he saw ghosts. I'm gonna guess Drake May saw some ghost. And we'll continue to see some ghost. And I know afterwards he talked about his shoulder. There was talk about the shoulder during super bowl week. He got it shot up to play. Might be one of those where he gets it cleaned out in the off season. I don't know how much of a factor that had. I don't. I don't know if it would have mattered if he was completely healthy. Just there was no time to think when he went back there. All right, so we got a poll question on the. The part of the Seahawks team that stood out the most.
- [12:06]
Seaton
Yeah. And then this is sort of cut from the same cloth, though. But what actually decided last night's game, was it the Seahawks pass rush, the Patriots offensive line, special teams, or coaching?
- [12:19]
Dan Patrick
And you got it. I mean, it's all of the above. Like that was total, team total. And the only dip was really JSN wasn't a fact. I mean, imagine that if I said, yeah, they won and JSN wasn't a factor at all. And he wasn't. And Sam played subpar, but they ended up dominating. You know, to win it in double figures. And you kept wondering if, you know, is there something more that New England can do? And here's Josh McDaniels, who has more experience than any other offensive coordinator in NFL history in the Super Bowl. And I kept thinking, I. I want Drake May to get the ball and get it out of his hands, like, right away. You know, almost a. A Brady, like, playbook of just get it out. I don't care where it's going. Get it out. Because if you go back and you're seven steps back and you got that rush coming off the edge, you're gonna have a lot of company all night long.
- [13:14]
Seaton
This time we're gonna stop him.
- [13:15]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, let's just run it again.
- [13:17]
Seaton
This time we'll stop him.
- [13:18]
Dan Patrick
What the hell, dude?
- [13:19]
Julian Edelman
What are you doing?
- [13:20]
Dan Patrick
I think we're tiring them out now. We can throw that pass, and then you're going, okay, who's their deep receiver? And they don't have one. And it goes back to. It wasn't a great offense. And Drake May, what he did during the regular season, I still would look at him as the MVP because of what he did during the regular season. And that's what the vote is. You know, they. They tabulate that before the postseason starts. You know, he did not have a good postseason at all. Sacked fumbles, did not play well at all. But they somehow got to this point. Give credit to Vrabel. He did a wonderful job. He's your coach of the year. But, man, oh, man, Mike McDonald had a game plan. Yes, I do.
- [14:04]
Seaton
I love the Sam Darnold redemption story. And it's unfortunate that Drake May had a terrible postseason, but really played a terrible game. And I do think it's funny, though, that Drake May threw for more touchdown passes last night than Sam Darnold, and Sam Darnold resurrected his career off of this run, and Drake May's got to go back to the drawing board. Well, it's like things that don't add up when you look at them on.
- [14:23]
Dan Patrick
Paper, you know, Got to get some weapons. Yeah, got to get some weapons. And I thought that they were going to be able to run the football. I really did. And then all of a sudden, Drake May sprinkles in some passes, and that's all you want. Keep the defense honest. And they couldn't do that. That defense basically said, we don't care what you're doing. We're coming after you every single play.
- [14:45]
Paul
Yeah, Paulie, I know the first three quarters were rough, but there was A point in the fourth quarter. They were down. The Patriots down 19 to 7. They had the ball with 10 minutes and 40 seconds to go. They go on a seven play, 40 yard drive. They're across the 50, it's second and three and they took that shot downfield. That was intercepted. I mean, there's a lot of time left. I think that interception there was 8:49 on the clock. If they somehow get that to 19:14, the pressure changes quickly.
- [15:13]
Dan Patrick
I was wondering, and I kept thinking I'd be passing on first down, I would be passing on the non passing downs because I, I just have to switch this up. And Josh McDaniels did not have a good night calling plays. It just felt like Seattle kind of figured out there was no rhythm with New England. And you're, and, and you know, Chico and Collins were at one point thought that the Patriots were going to get some rhythm. Then I think they had a turnover right after that. You were just waiting for something where you'd go. I mean, their drive would be like seven plays, 40 yards. That would be a sustained drive for New England. And you know, meanwhile, Kenneth Walker, you know, those chunk plays played great, but it still comes down to no turnovers. Playing great defense and making them make mistakes. Yes. Todd, I was wondering at halftime, as.
- [16:06]
Stugotz
Good as a coach as Mike Rabel is or appears to be, what do you do at halftime when a team's got that good of a defense? You know, you always say like, you.
- [16:14]
Dan Patrick
Got to make the necessary adjustments. Is there anything he really could have.
- [16:16]
Stugotz
Said or done that would have significantly.
- [16:18]
Dan Patrick
Changed what they did in the second half? Well, I would have said we're down nine, nothing. All we need to do is go out there, we get the ball, start second half. Let's. Let's go down there and score a touchdown. At worst, we, we get a field goal. Now we're down 6. Let's, let's put the pressure on them. But I just kept waiting for some kind of rhythm there and it never happened. It just felt like they were like, I don't know. What are we doing? I don't know. What do you think? I don't know. Hey, we better block that side of the line. Yeah. Seaton.
- [16:48]
Seaton
And that second half opening drive I think is just another three and out like that. That was crucially important to at least move the chains, get a first down.
- [16:58]
Dan Patrick
All right, we'll get to phone calls here. Also, Bill Cower will join us, the hall of Famer on loan from CBS 877-3DP. Show just getting started on this Monday. Good to be back in the home man cave. We're back after this. Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick show, weekdays at.

Nobody really prepares you for this part of life. When I had some guests stay with me recently, I realized I was missing a few key essentials. I hate when that happens. Really? No more paper towels. Down to the last pigs in a blanket. So soon? I didn't want to interrupt our time together by running to the store or give off the impression that I was unprepared for my guests. Moments like that are a perfect example of how everyday life can surprise you. Some days go as planned and other days, well, life throws curve balls. It's not always convenient. That's why I went straight to Amazon. Amazon helps make it easier to manage both the routine and the unexpected. From household basics to last minute replacements you like to have on hand to be a great host. Amazon makes it so you can find everything that you need all in one place with reliable value and great prices. So when you run out of essentials right when the party's about to start, Amazon makes it easier to focus on your guests. Talk about saving the day.

We will get to your phone calls as we always do every Monday. Best and worst of the weekend what you saw that you liked, you didn't like Clint Kubiak officially taking the Raiders job. And if you're a Raider fan, you're like, all right, we got the offensive coordinator for the super bowl winning Seattle Seahawks and we're gonna have the number one pick in the draft. 8773-DP-SHOW email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle @dpshow that Devin Weatherspoon, he was everywhere. He could have been in the MVP race as well because man was he disrupting things. But it came down to run the football play defense, don't turn the ball over. Pretty good formula. Bill Cower, hall of Famer, joining us on the program. Coach, your reaction overall to the game last night?
- [23:34]
Bill Cowher
Well, Dan, I think it was a game to me that you just stated it was a defensive battle. I thought even the New England Patriots for the first three quarters there really they kept him in the football game and it was, it was a series of field position back and forth, not making mistakes. But I think obviously Kenneth Walker had a couple big runs. I felt like New England maybe got a from the running game a little bit in the third quarter when the game was still there. I think a big play also was the end of the second quarter with Christian Gonzalez made a great play on Jackson, Smith Najigba and just dropped that ball near the goal line. Which they could have come away with just being down six or three nothing as opposed to six nothing at the halftime. So it was, it was a game again that I thought two great defenses, probably not a great game for fans and they wouldn't join offense. But it was a game that the defense of Seattle was very, very stout. And I think again Sam Donald as he's done in these playoffs did not turn the football over, made good decisions. His elusive, he was very elusive in the pocket. I think he negated a lot of sacks that that Nuno thought they would had. And conversely, on the other side, Drake May had a very tough time standing in that pocket.
- [24:45]
Dan Patrick
What's it like going into halftime now? You're down nine, nothing and it's a halftime that's three times longer than a normal halftime. So how do you make adjustments, keep your team focused and, you know, go back out on the field after a long delay?
- [25:01]
Bill Cowher
You know, it's one of those things. Dan. It's funny because I think the first Super Bowl I was in 1995, 95 season, 96 Super bowl against the Dallas Cowboys, there was the time frame from there, I did not give much thought of that. Needed didn't reach out to anybody. And the anth national anthem was much later when he came out of the locker room. And then all of a sudden you're in the locker room, you're much longer. The second time having been there 10 years later, I made sure after halftime, number one, we took our pads off. I said, take your pads off. We had some fruits, some oranges, some apples. Take some time, get away, get in your locker. You have to have your own space. And let us come back together as we get back and have some final thoughts as what we want to do in the second half. Particularly those first series of the second half. I always thought they were the most vital of any football game is the first series in defense and the first series on offense, because you either re establish a momentum or you change momentum and you come out of there with a sense of, okay, we got this thing figured out. So I think that's the biggest thing you did to me was we almost treated like two different games. It's our first half and then there's a second half. And that's kind of like what we did. I know going against the Seattle Seahawks back in the 2005 season, the 2006.
- [26:08]
Dan Patrick
Super Bowl, I was trying to figure out what they were going to do offensively. Knowing that it felt like the Patriots left side of the line could not handle Seattle. And Seattle knew that. But I like, I just kept thinking they would maybe subscribe to the Tom Brady playbook, just get the ball out, make, make short throws, maybe keep running the football a little bit. It just didn't feel like they were making adjustments in the second half.
- [26:33]
Bill Cowher
You know, again, I go back, I mean, if you watch the new to the Patriots through the course of that playoff run that they've had, number one, they've had trouble with, with their protection. They had five sacks in the three previous games, six in this game. So I think that somehow they got away from running the football or at least throwing quick plays, screens of some nature where he didn't have to hold the ball for long periods of time. I even was going to think about to some point is go, no huddle, try to slow down that rush, you know, do something to try to change the tempo of the game because you were. You never could get into a feel or flow. And I think as a coach you want to constantly try to tweak some things along the way and those are the adjustments that you're trying to make, whether it be with your play calling, whether it be the sense of urgency we have coming out of the huddle, trying to do some things differently, whether it's a reverse or two, some kind of gimmick plays. You know, we, we saw the flea flicker be the big play that they had last week against Detroit. We saw a little bit that in the first series. I think Josh did a good job with that. I got away from that because they couldn't get a first down. And so you don't get a first down. It's hard to get into flow on offense. And I think again, I get a lot of credit to Seattle. I think Mike McDonald called a great game. He got a lot of pressure. Both teams blitzed very early in the game. For both of these quarterbacks, recognizing that for both these quarterbacks, it was their first super bowl experience was minimal and I think they wanted to make sure they were uncomfortable and I think they both did a great job of that. And then it got to the point where the Seattle didn't even have to to rush with a blitz. They were able to get there with their four down linemen and Drake may just never felt comfortable the whole game.
- [28:03]
Dan Patrick
Mike McDonald calling the defense, how difficult is that to be the head coach but also calling the defense?
- [28:10]
Bill Cowher
Well, I think you got to have a lot of trust in your offensive coordinator. And I think that's the one thing I think with Mike, if you look at the fact after his first year he changed offensive coordinators. He goes against Clint Kubiak. And I think that you have to have a large degree of trust while you're doing that, because a lot of times when you're kind of the CEO and I know as I was from my time in Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh. I'm talking to what we, what are we doing with the other side, when one side is calling the ball, I'm talking to the other side. Let's let me talk to the coordinator before you start talking to the quarterback. That's remember what we talked about last night. Maybe we can do this. Can we help our left tackle? Can we do some things, whatever we need to do adjustment wise, in the course of the game, you at least have an ability to talk to that coordinator, to talk about what our options are at that particular time. But when you're calling the game, as Mike has done, and he's done it for two years, again, the trust he has to have on the other side of the ball that they're getting things, figure it out. Is going to be immense. And I think obviously with Clint Kubiak, and you just mentioned it going to the Raiders right now and the first pick in the draft and we all know who that's going to be, Menendez. And I think it's that that's a good choice. And again, now for, for, for Mike McDonald's, he's going to be his third coordinator in three years. As he went up to Seattle, talking.
- [29:20]
Dan Patrick
To Bill Cower, hall of Fame coach, the NFL Today analyst for cbs did the enormity hit you at any point, coaching in the Super Bowl? And if so, when does the enormity of everybody's watching?
- [29:33]
Bill Cowher
The enormity hits you in the pregame. I feel like the lead up to it, you try to keep things as normal as possible. Certainly the night before, you know, the day after, you sit there in your hotel room ready to go to get on a bus. At least when you're on the west coast, it's not as long of a day, but you're on the east coast and you have to sit there till like 5 o' clock or 4 o'. Clock. It's like you're looking for a movie or looking for something. I didn't want to watch anything else. And so it does become that. Then when you get to the stadium, you can just feel the buzz. There's more people on the side. We know the finality that's going to take place, the opportunity, how close you are to making history. And it's real. And I think again, it's real. Particularly, I know for us we went into the Dome in Detroit. The Dome in itself was just a buzz. And so that took another level of noise that we had to kind of deal with. So I think once the game gets underway, yes, you kind of start to play the game and you fall into whatever the feel of the game is, but the lead up to it is real. It's the biggest game of your career. You never know if you're going to get back there again, as you may not think that way, but, you know, that's been the case. We've all seen the history of all the players who says, well, we'll be back. And they never got back. And the people, they said, yeah, we're so close to being to the super bowl. And they never get there. So it's an opportunity of a lifetime, a chance to make history. And you understand that, particularly as it leads up to the game and as you get to the stadium.
- [30:55]
Dan Patrick
Did you see famous people on the sidelines when you were in the Super Bowl?
- [31:00]
Bill Cowher
You know, there were so many people. I did, you know, I, I, I stayed on the field. It's like you walk between the lines. I mean, I think, you know, I. Again, it's like you walk between the lines and you sit there and you, you just kind of stay and try to keep things as normal. You try to keep things as routine as possible. And I think that's the biggest thing. I didn't, I never got caught up with that. I tried to get the game going and make sure I look into the eyes of my players. I ain't worried about the eyes when people are looking at us. I want to make sure I look in the eyes of the guys that we have ready to play. Tried this time to relax, have some fun. We worked too hard to get here not to enjoy it and trust what you see and play fast, play hard, and if you make some mistakes, let it go and just go on to the next play.
- [31:38]
Dan Patrick
It is amazing how many teams, what they do to young quarterbacks. It just feels like more young quarterbacks are ruined than developed. And, you know, Sam Darnold was supposed to be the safe pick in that draft by the jets, but, but the jets weren't ready for Sam Darnold. Yeah, and, you know, most teams give up on these quarterbacks after two or three years. Here's Sam, eight years in, and now he wins the Super Bowl. But can you, can you be cautious at that position? Because it doesn't feel like coaches, general managers are.
- [32:12]
Bill Cowher
Well, I don't know if cautious is the right word. I always thought this, Dan. I think when you look at the Seattle Seahawks this year, I think they were the most balanced team in the National Football League. When you talk about special teams, Jason Myers, and they got Dixon Dickerson, who's maybe the best punter in the National Football League, we saw it take play out yesterday with some of the punts he had down the ball inside the five yard line. Rasheed Shahid, all of a sudden as a punt returner they pick him up at the draft a solid, solid defense as we talked about, one of the best in the National Football League. And then you look on the offensive side of the ball, Jackson, Smith, Najigba, I mean one of the best receiver offensive player of the year. And then you have a two headed running back with Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet and don't forget about him through the course of that week. And that helps that offensive line. So Sam Darnold became just a piece of that and I think to a large degree that that's where it was on the other side with Drake May, you know, his legs got them there. But there was a defense, it was a running game, it was special teams, they did all the little things that it took to get there. So I think if there's ever a message that said, you know, yeah, we don't have the quarterback as we get the quarterback to win a champions I think yesterday proved that it's more about getting a complete team and building a team. And when that special guy comes along I go back to the same thing that that's what we try to do in Pittsburgh and we won some playoff games with different quarterbacks but when we had a special guy come along like Ben Roethlisberger, that's when championships come along. So I think that's the biggest thing is. But along the way you build that offensive line, you build that defense, you get a special guy like Devin Weatherspoon who can play multiple positions, become an impact player and you get a running game like with a Kenneth Walker and then a special number one rece. So you build the things around. I said if you build it they will come and they may be that quarterback that you're waiting for that can fill that void. And for Sam Darnold he was that guy for them this year and I think again for Drake May a young quarterback, they got there, his future is very bright ahead of him.
- [34:10]
Dan Patrick
What's it like after winning the super bowl that highest of highs and then you have to go back to just normal life.
- [34:18]
Bill Cowher
Yeah. And that's why I said to me losing the championship game was much harder. And I lost that four times. I've lost the super bowl once, won it once. But losing those championship games was harder because you know, you sit there for two weeks and you're looking at the team that you had A chance to beat that. You could have beaten them. Look at the Rams. And they could have gone there to Denver if they had your quarterback. Did they get there? Do they have a. Is it a different outcome? So you watch it for two weeks, but after this game, everyone's. Next weekend, everyone's watching in state basketball, I mean, so, I mean, there's no more football. There's finality to what you do. And I think that's the thing. To me, I know the day after we won a championship, I was in a basketball gym watching my daughter play basketball back in Pittsburgh. And so it was like, okay, now, now it's off, season comes and there's normality and my wife is telling me where to go and what time I needed to be there, what time's the game? And so, yeah, so it's just like, you know, when the season was over, it's like the projects were thrown right in front of me. Okay. I know this is where I go. I do have a combine coming. Like. Okay, but until you have the combine coming up, you got at least a week of all these things we talked about doing. So it's just this chocolate says start to check them out. Off the, off the list, you have some projects to do. And oh yeah, by the way, your daughter's playing a basketball game tonight. Gotcha. I'll be there.
- [35:32]
Dan Patrick
Thanks for joining us all season long. We appreciate your, your insight, your sense of humor.
- [35:37]
Bill Cowher
Yes. And can I ask you a question, like, what's the story behind the bar?
- [35:41]
Dan Patrick
This is Green Bay. We went up for the draft and there is a place called the Bar.
- [35:47]
Bill Cowher
Okay.
- [35:48]
Dan Patrick
And we held our, we did our show up there, a couple of days at the bar in Green Bay.
- [35:54]
Bill Cowher
So what do you have outlined for Pittsburgh since.
- [35:57]
Dan Patrick
I don't know, you tell me because we'll be there for the draft.
- [36:01]
Bill Cowher
Okay. So can I give you some suggestions?
- [36:03]
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
- [36:04]
Bill Cowher
Okay. Well, I can't do it right now. I'm looking to see what's available.
- [36:07]
Dan Patrick
Okay.
- [36:08]
Bill Cowher
And like, what kind of like, like do you have good company that comes with you or. You guys, you're not a rowdy group, are you?
- [36:15]
Dan Patrick
What do you want us to be?
- [36:17]
Bill Cowher
Well, I think it'd be good. Like, I think you got to be able to adapt and adjust. I'm not sure what kind of bar I can get you. So are you adaptable and adjustable?
- [36:24]
Dan Patrick
Yes, I am a five tool player coach.
- [36:27]
Bill Cowher
Okay. Okay.
- [36:28]
Dan Patrick
Whatever you need, if you want to get after it and do some, some drinking, Is that what you're saying?
- [36:34]
Bill Cowher
No, no, no, no, it's just. It's just getting the feel for the. Just getting the feel for the vibe. The buy. You got to be able to adapt like a game, Dan. Like, like, you know, I don't know if it's going to be a high score scoring. I don't know. We got to be able to adjust. You adjusted to the bar. I just want to know exactly that was what you came from. So I'm just. You're going to Pittsburgh this year, so I just want to make sure I get you the right place. And I know that you're very adaptable, so I'm not going to concern myself with that.
- [37:01]
Dan Patrick
I'm from Cincinnati. That's just like Pittsburgh, only nicer.
- [37:07]
Bill Cowher
Well, well, I love Cincinnati. Check my record. Love you guys. Just loved you guys.

- [37:28]
Bill Cowher
Have Fritz you reach out. I'll make sure I give you some. Some. Some. Some locations that I think will fit the vibe that you will bring to that. That establishment.

Dan Patrick
Okay.

Bill Cowher
Matter of fact, my lap. My last. My last win as an NFL head coach was down in Cincinnati and it was an overtime. It was a slam pass from Bren Brothers Burger to San Antonio Holmes and we walked off. We won that game. And when they said who day, I said we day.

Nobody really prepares you for this part of life. When I had some guests stay with me recently, I realized I was missing a few key essentials. I hate when that happens. Really. No more paper towels. Down to the last pigs in a blanket so soon? I didn't want to interrupt our time together by running to the store or give off the impression that I was unprepared for my guests. Moments like that are a perfect example of how everyday life can surprise you. Some days go as planned and other days, well, life throws curve balls. It's not always convenient. That's why I went straight to Amazon. Amazon helps make it easier to manage both the routine and the unexpected. From household basics to last minute replacements you like to have on hand to be a great host, Amazon makes it so you can find everything that you need all in one place with reliable value and great prices. So when you run out of essentials right when the party's about to start, Amazon makes it easier to focus on your guests Talk about saving the day.

Seattle's defense, like Philadelphia's last season, finished with three takeaways. That's your play of the day, courtesy of the Seahawks Radio network, brought to you by True Green.

Sign up@trugreen.com then sit back and relax. Super bowl odds for next year, Seattle is your favorite, followed by the Buffalo Bills. Then the Rams, Ravens, Packers, Chargers, Chiefs, Patriots, eagles, all at 14 to 1. The Detroit Lions 15 to 1. Niners 16 to 1. See any surprises in there? Yeah. So New England's at 14 1, but Seattle at 8 to 1. And Seattle's. I think Kenneth Walker Jr. III is a free agent. Like a free free agent. I don't know what kind of money he would command on the open market. You got Jack, Zach, Charbonnet coming back. Man. Had to be tough. You're in street clothes on the sidelines, and you're supposed to be, you know that change up you go in there. I mean, it's better to be on the sidelines when your team wins than to be on the sideline when your team loses. But they seem to be set, it feels like, and they made some real. I mean, that's a great front office if you've done that with a couple of different incarnations. Didn't Russ? I think Russell Wilson said, go Hawks. Was that his message after they won? That was nice. Go Hawks. And I couldn't help but think of the trade, and I don't have the exact details, but the draft picks they got when they traded Russell Wilson to Denver, I think. I think it might have been all four of those. Those draft picks were on the defense last night, I think. So I have it somewhere in my phone because I wrote it down as a message to me and then forgot to bring my phone out here. So if you see the draft picks that Seattle had in relationship to the Russell Wilson trade. Yeah, Paulie.
- [47:35]
Paul
Devin Witherspoon was coming. Yeah, that's one of them. They got part of that trade. Charles Cross, Boy Maffe. So starters, Good starters.
- [47:44]
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
- [47:45]
Paul
Depth.
- [47:46]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. So, Russ instrumental in helping the Seahawks with that defense. Lucas in Texas. Hi, Luke. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan. Good morning. Hey, you know, Tirico had one little comment right at the end of the game yesterday that got me thinking. The Seahawks won their second super bowl, joining the tier of 17 teams that have won multiple Super Bowls. Kind of made me think, though. The NFC west is now one of three divisions that has at least three teams with multiple Super Bowls. So kind of the most historic best overall divisions. Can you guys name the other one that has three winners? And can you name the one division that has all four teams with multiple Super Bowls? NFC East. They're four for four. That's the big one. And what's the one? The other one with three. The other one with three. That they won the Super Bowl. Yes. Multiple super bowl wins. Okay. Yes. Paul.
- [48:49]
Paul
NFC South.
- [48:53]
Dan Patrick
Just the Buccaneers there, guys. Marvin, you got a guess at the Saints? Yeah, the Saints won. But three out of the four teams have won multiple Super Bowls. Feels like you're yelling at us, Lucas. All right, tell us the AFC West. Come on, Fritzi. Broncos, Chiefs and Raiders. Thank you, Lucas. It's early, you know, we're tired. That's a little too heavy lifting. Come on, Lucas. You know, just. I'm still on west coast time. Adam in la. Hi, Adam. What's wrong? I mean, what's up? Well, good morning, guys. You know what's wrong? I hope you had a great trip. Good morning. I enjoy the super bowl week coverage as always. I kept telling myself I wouldn't watch the game, being sour over the Rams, who, as you know, you felt the same way. Whoever won that game in the NFC Championship probably was going to win the super bowl. But we move on. You know, I thought the best part of the super bowl was the Bad Bunny halftime performance, which I thought was amazing. Love over, hate, everyone. And then the worst for me was watching that Seahawks team just dominate. I knew they would. Drake May, to me, I disagree with you, was not the mvp. He looked very flawed, whether he was injured or not. Not easy way to say now after the fact, but I just felt like Drake May, during the regular season was the mvp, in my opinion. Okay. No, you saw what he had to work with last night. I mean, he, I, I Stafford Was wonderful, but he was loaded. I mean, Drake May made the super bowl, didn't play well in the postseason. But during the regular season, which the award is based on, Drake May, to me, was the mvp. That's all.
- [50:59]
Bill Cowher
Have a good day, Dan.
- [51:00]
Dan Patrick
Thank you.
- [51:02]
Paul
Tap out.
- [51:04]
Dan Patrick
That's funny. And the Bad Bunny halftime show, you know, as I tell people, they're like, you're gonna watch the Bad Bunny? I said, if I'm in the room with my wife and two daughters, yes, I'll watch the. I turn it off or, you know, leave the house if you want to. I thought the choreography was great. You give me Lady Gaga at any performance. Ricky Martin was a nice surprise, but I thought that it, you know, there was a lot going on there. It was entertaining. I don't know his songs, but I, I, I was curious about it. I. It's not the end of civilization. Like, we all survived. It's okay. Yes, Paul.
- [51:45]
Paul
I nerd out with the production of the halftime show, no matter who's doing it. How they get everything logistically on the field and all off. Do you see how there's hundreds of trees on the field?
- [51:53]
Dan Patrick
Those are people.
- [51:54]
Paul
I didn't realize that till the very end when I saw them from a top shot walk up. Those are people in tree outfits to make the process faster.
- [52:02]
Dan Patrick
Do you put it on your resume you were a tree during the half hour?
- [52:06]
Paul
Hell, yeah.
- [52:06]
Dan Patrick
Yes.
- [52:07]
Paul
$21 an hour, those guys made.
- [52:09]
Dan Patrick
But is it like Katy Perry when you had the shark? Like, you put that on your resume, you were the shark in her video. Yes, Todd. And none of those people had a.
- [52:17]
Stugotz
Panic attack inside those tree costumes.
- [52:19]

Oh, my God. Imagine you, you in the tree costume. But if I said, you could have been in the halftime show, you're going to be a tree, could you have done that?
- [52:28]
Stugotz
No.
- [52:29]
Dan Patrick
And I would have thought I would have wanted to.
- [52:32]
Stugotz
But knowing from past experience, I wouldn't want to have to be rushed to.

Bill Cowher
Some medical center outside the stadium.
- [52:37]
Dan Patrick
I don't know if you'd be rushed. Like, they would think you were joking, that you can't breathe inside.
- [52:42]
Stugotz
You.
- [52:42]
Dan Patrick
Imagine bad bunnies walking around. You hear Todd going, I can't breathe. Can't breathe. Mr. Bunny, can you get me out of here?
- [52:49]
Stugotz
Get out of this costume.
- [52:50]
Dan Patrick
I'm stuck in the branches. My mom's stuck in the branch. Mr. Bunny. Mr. I thought the commercials were kind of sad.
- [52:58]
Stugotz
Kind of really sad.
- [53:00]
Dan Patrick
I know. And I, you know, my wife goes, hey, you keep getting up to go get a beer or, I was smoking a cigar. She goes, don't you want to see the commercials? I go, no.

Seaton
It's like everyone collectively forgot they're supposed to be entertaining.
- [53:17]
Dan Patrick
Like Mary.
- [53:18]
Seaton
Like you guys are supposed to think about these. It's supposed to be like something you look forward to and, oh, I guess not.
- [53:22]
Dan Patrick
It's supposed to look like you put work into it, like some creativity. Yeah, Paul, it did feel like the.
- [53:27]
Paul
Overall tone was sentiment, not comedy or shock value.
- [53:31]
Dan Patrick
Yes.
- [53:31]
Stugotz
So more said. Super bowl commercials or Patriots offense?
- [53:35]
Dan Patrick
I'm going to say commercials because I had expectations for them, not the Patriots offense. One hour in the books on this Monday. Two more to go. Ross Tucker. He worked last night. He'll join us coming up.

Julian Edelman
This is Julian Edelman from Games With Names. Now let's get into the serious stuff. We're talking football food, specifically Daisy French onion dip. These are so delicious. They're like homemade dips made with real herb and spices. Also made with some Daisy sour cream. Daisy sour cream is a long standing staple for Taco Tuesday. They also have Daisy ranch dip. So get out there and give Daisy French onion dip a try. You will not regret it. This is Julian Edelman from Games With Names. I want to take a second to talk about something that's personal to me. I've had the privilege of working closely with Robert Kraft for a long time, and one thing I've always respected is how seriously he takes up standing up to hate. Hate. As a Jewish athlete, my identity is something I am proud of. But I also know what it feels like to be singled out for it. That's why this new commercial for the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate that aired during the big game really hit home. It's about showing up for someone when they're targeted, even if you don't have the perfect words. And sometimes standing next to someone is enough. And you can show support by sharing the Blue Square.

Imagine never having to buy gas again. It's true. It's real. And it's here right now. EVs are as easy to charge as your phone, and they're perfect for everyday life. You can drive daily with confidence everywhere you go. And most Americans drive about 40 miles a day. And most EVs are equipped with 200 to 400 miles of range EVs.
