Last night that was a homework assignment. The Vikings over the Bears. The Vikings now 12 and 2. The Bears dropped to 4 and 10. The Falcons won. But if you're a Falcon fan, I don't think that felt like a victory. You're now seven and seven. They're very comfortable. It feels like with seven wins. Haven't they had seven wins the previous three seasons? The Raiders now two and 12 and thankfully they didn't screw it up and win a game. But 2 and 12, still in line to get the number one overall pick. But 15 to 9, the ending score, Falcons over the Raiders. Other news, the Lions lost their workhorse. Running back David Montgomery looks like he's done for the year. Couple of colleges looking at Michael Vick. That came out of nowhere. Norfolk State and Sacramento State looking at Michael Vick. We'll have more on that coming up. But tonight it's the cup. That's all Fritz he's been talking about, it's the cup. It's a big deal. The Bucks and the Thunder for the cup comes down to this. Yes, it does. There's a lot of money at stake as well. Ratings are down with the NBA and I don't know if you can pinpoint a reason. I always go back to, if they don't care, I don't care. I think load management has turned people away. I don't know if we're glued to a TV set going, I can't wait to watch that game. And even if you do, you don't even know who's playing. But ratings have declined and I know they try to spice it up with the cup in season tournament. You're not enticing me if you say, hey, we're going to put some money at stake here. So wait a minute. They don't really try hard, but now they're really going to try hard. Therefore, now I should watch. It doesn't work with me. I love the NBA, grown up with the N B A, but there are times when I go, I don't care. You don't care. And that's the feeling I've gotten. Actually. It's, you don't care. The players, I don't care either, but I'll watch. You know, I would watch anyway. It's a good game, but just because it's for the cup. And I know Rob Manfred has gotten roughed up a little bit in the media. A lot of people say, what are you talking about? With this golden at bat where you can use that anytime you want. Maybe have Aaron judge, you know, he gets the bat twice in an inning or. And people go, what? Oh, the, you know, the purity of the gate. What are you doing? Okay, we're past that. This is about getting eyeballs. And this is what Adam Silver is going to have to do. At some point he's going to have to take a swing. He's going to have to have a gold net bat. He's going to have to have something that is interesting, intriguing, different, a tune in factor. Now, they've tried to do this with the basketball courts and I'm fine with it. You know, you're looking for a younger audience, I get it. But maybe we add something to those colorful courts. You know, maybe there's a blinking three point line. Maybe there's something inside. Like I was told during the pandemic and I was told by a great source that the NBA was looking at creating courts that would resemble pinball machines. So it would be a little bit more live. Now, I know it sounds gimmicky, but I think you got to get to the point where can we keep up? Can we keep our place in the sports landscape here? Because we've seen sports that just fall off. Horse racing, boxing, they fall off. Baseball, that was America's pastime, fell off. The NBA, they're kind of trying to hold on for dear life. The NFL is just bulldozing everybody. I get that. But you can still maintain your place, at least you hope to, on the sports ladder. But it, you know, the NFL is up all the way at the top and then you got people down the totem pole here. What are you going to do? What are you going to do when LeBron leaves? What are you going to do, LeBron, Steph, KD leave? Are you going to entrust the game with the joker, Luca Giannis, great players, hall of Fame players, but then you got guys like John Morant. You can't trust him. Wonderful talent, can't trust him. Zion Williamson reportedly, you know, available if you want to trade for him. So you're looking at what is the future, you know, Cooper flag coming in. Like, there's always going to be, you know, fresh blood in there. The question is, who is a tune in factor person? The WNBA struck gold. They got Caitlin Clark. The NBA needs somebody, somebody like that. And I think this is where Adam Silver is going to have to, you know, have a golden at bat type thing of swinging for some things and trying some new things. Remember with baseball, the pitch clock. Oh God, the base is going to be a little bit larger. Oh, nobody complains about him now. We actually had guys who stole bases. Games were quicker. Like there seemed to be more movement in the game. He's trying and I think that's what you want. You know, football, it doesn't matter what they do. This commissioner can't screw it up. Hey, we're going to do this to the kickoff. Now imagine if we were doing this years ago where we said, hey, this is what we're doing. Even you can't touch a quarterback. Imagine if we did that years ago. Oh, what's the game devolved into? I don't want to watch this. Put a skirt on him. Now we're like, no, you got to protect them. You got to protect Mahomes and Tua. The kickoff, like aesthetically, when you watch it, it's still weird to see you're just standing there, you know, like, you know, you're guarding the queen. Just standing there until and go and Then you scratch. You know, it's really silly looking, but the NFL can do no wrong. Hey, we're going to outsource. We're sending games out of the country. They don't. Hey, we're going to have you play three games in 11 days. Okay. Can't do any wrong. Double headers on Monday. You know, we're like, yeah, okay, but I think with the NBA, I think we're gonna have to start looking and going, okay, where are we going? What is the future of the NBA? And you gotta ask these hard questions. We see what's happening in college football. Like, it happened quick and it's still evolving. And that's what you have to be able to get ahead of. You know, these kind of decisions or these seismic shifts that you have in sports. Crazy. But I think that's what the NBA. They're going to have to have one of those what ifs. Hey, there's no bad ideas here. Let's just put stuff out there and see what can we do. Now the first thing I would say is, I want to know who's playing. That's. That's it. Are you playing? But don't tell me, hey, they're playing for money. Now if you said the Bucks and Thunder had to put in their own money tonight in the middle of the court, Commissioner brings a wheelbarrow out and says, they're playing for this money. And the Bucks and the Thunder put up the money. Okay, that's interesting. Not gonna happen. But just because they're playing for money doesn't mean anything to me. I want you to play hard. Not, hey, we're playing hard because we can get some money. That doesn't do anything for me other than, I guess they're really trying now. It's like baseball tried back with the All Star Game. And Fox goes, nobody's watching the All Star Game. How about home field advantage for the World Series? Silly idea, but they were trying. Like, I'd rather have that commissioner who's trying to do something now. I don't want change for the sake of change, but I do want ideas. And I think we're not beholden to records anymore. It's not like you go, oh, my God, you've got the bases larger. Well, that's not the same with Ricky Henderson. Yeah, we got all that. I get that. But I think you got to try. You got to be experimental or willing to be flexible there because our attention span is getting shorter and shorter. You're going to flip through. It used to be you would Just watch. Well, now you really have to give me a reason why I'm watching this game. I like that the Bucks, Giannis and Dame are playing well and Doc Rivers seems like he's going to keep his job. Okay. The Thunder, when they get Chad Holmgren back, you know, SGA is a really talented player. Not enough for me to tune in for that. And I love basketball. So I do think the NBA will have to look at some things. I wouldn't be surprised if you start to hear, hey, they're considering this. Or they'll float it out, they'll leak it in the media and say, hey, we're thinking about this. What? And then all of a sudden we discuss it. Yes, Marvin. Yeah, I would have lost some money because if we had made a bet at the end of last year's playoffs, I would have said, Anthony Edwards is the guy you have to hit your wagon to just because they had such a great run in the playoffs and he's such a great personality. And I don't know what happened. I don't. I mean, once again, I don't go, all the Timberwolves are playing. I'm going to tune in. But if I do tune in, I know that he'll stand out. They're above.500. But the Lakers, the Lakers, you know, that roster is not a winning roster. You know, they're an eighth seed team, it feels like. But LeBron's going to be done in a year, Steph, and maybe two years, kd, a couple. Then. Then what? I mean, These are all first ballot hall of Famers, top 15 players of all time trying to get guys nowadays who are going to play, want to play, win championships. The fact that Zion is, is available right now, I mean, the Pelicans, they almost had it. They almost did. And now they don't have anything. They're terrible. They're in last place. Zion couldn't miss. He's going to be a star. I don't even know if he wants to play. I don't know how much it matters to him. John Morant's got everything until he doesn't have anything. Anthony Edwards can be wonderful, but what did it come down to in the Olympics? Those same three old guys. Joker's great, but he's just great to watch. So I don't know. I think, I think the NBA's got a challenge here ahead of them because the last 10 years the ratings have been going down steadily, a steady decline. And this year, not good either. And who has the philosophy of a sport where you go, hey, our season starts in October, but wait till Christmas, and then we're going to have some really good games. I'm going to take a couple of months off. It's not a great game plan for me if you're the commissioner. Hey, the season starts Christmas Day. I think we all feel that way. That's what he was trying to do this with. The NBA Cup. It's about the Cup, Todd. It's the cup tonight. Bucks, Thunder for it all. For some of it, not all of it. The. The Cup. Yes, MARVIN. And the NBA's in even more trouble because the NFL's like, no, no, no, we got Christmas. Yes. They roughed them up, too. Like, that was their prime time. Hey, guys, the seasons here are big matchups. We got five great games with 10 great teams, and NFL's like, I guess, you know, you know what the NFL said, hey, we're going to have our guys play on, like two days rest. You guys up for it? Sure. You want to play football on Christmas, Be away from the family? Sure, yeah. Paulie, I think after listening to everything you just said, what really stands out to me is the NFL is always pushing it and feeling more intense and playing more games, and their players are playing. Nobody sits out as a healthy scratch. What bothers me about the NBA after listening to you talk about this for the past few minutes, the games lack intensity. No matter. They have star power. They have lots of star power, a lot of recognizable names. When I tune into a game, I watch guys running up and down, jacking threes and running back down and jacking threes, and that's what happens for about two hours. There's very little intensity. I'm not. I don't need fighting or punching. But intensity of the game, they feel. The games feel casual, especially the first half of the season. I watched the Knicks and the Hawks the other night, and I watched most of the game and really enjoyed it there. There was a feel to it, but that's because of Trey Young in the Garden against the Knicks. And that is a standalone game. I'm not saying you're going to get that all the time, but I'd like a little bit more of that where it feels like it really means something to the players. And it just feels like, hey, you know, we're going to work. Got to go out there. I got to play, you know, about 34 minutes and then run to the next game and shoot a couple threes and then that's it. It doesn't feel. And maybe there's Too many games. We talked about that. But once again, I'm not beholden to the records the way I once was. I don't know if the American public is either. But I do think you're going to need a commissioner. And this commercial commissioner is a very bright man to maybe start to look at things. And I think the courts, that kind of had a shock value to it. You're like, whoa, what's this? Okay, do you want to do that all season long? Okay, like the All Star Game is not worth tuning into. Now we're tuning into what, the three point shooting contest. But we're bringing in the WNBA with the NBA and. Okay, you're trying. They can't do anything with the All Star Game unless it's the United States against, you know, everybody else in the world. Maybe that would be interesting. I just don't know if you'd have the depth. You probably have five or six really, really good players from around the, around the world and then it would be a drastic fall off there. All right, we'll get started here. Got a poll question. Yes, Paul, we may have to play an impromptu good idea, bad idea later today where we say what we would give an idea to Commissioner Silver. Like, let's say, like you said, there's no bad ideas. All hands on deck. Well, he has, you know, to his credit, he has enacted some of the things I proposed to him. And that is you must play a certain number of games to qualify for postseason awards. And I think that that does help. Like, you know, you almost have to dangle a carrot and say, come on, you gotta play, gotta play. And we took away from the positions on first, second, third team. He did that as well. Those were two things I asked him to do. Basketball's positionless. Take them off, you know, first, second, third team. And let's have a requirement of to be eligible for postseason honors, you got to play in a certain number of games. Shouldn't be that way, but that's what it is. All right, we get phone calls, settle on our poll question. We're back after this Dan Patrick show. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.

Settle on a poll question at Least for the first hour. Get to your phone calls as well. No stupid idea. No stupid idea. Tuesday when it comes to the NBA, Paulie, give an example to the audience of there's no bad ideas. We're trying to improve the game, the NBA. You may change your mind after this one. Okay, Contested dunks are worth three points. So you take it to the lane and dunk on someone or amongst someone. Not an uncontested dunk, it's now worth three points. Think of how that changes the game on the floor. But then I won't contest it. Back to you, studio. Once again, easy with the smart stuff. There's no bad ideas. Except for we're open, we're open. Except for contested dunks. Okay, Kirk D. Cousins, in primetime, all he does is win. He has now thrown one touchdown, nine interceptions over the last five weeks. That's not good. It was a win. And in that division, you still have a chance at 7 and 7. Raheem Morris is the Falcons head coach. Here is the question and his answer about his quarterback play. Can you assess Kurt's play tonight and where you're at? I know you guys got the dub, but in terms of him as the starting quarterback moving forward, he's got to play better. And you know, obviously you got to go back, got to be a look at everything, but, you know, he wants to play better, he's got to play better. We got to find a way to get him to play better and obviously we'll get to work tomorrow. And that's a part of our process. Right? You go, you look at the tape, you review with the people that needs to be reviewed with, you know, we get all the coordinators in the room, we'll talk with everybody and we got to play better at the quarterback position. Okay? That's a word salad. That meant absolutely nothing. So the reporter asked the follow up question. We're just going to play the question and then we're going to play. What would you say or how would you answer this? So here's the question to Raheem Morris. Are you prepared to replace him with Michael Penix? Okay, prepared to Todd, I'll let you be Raheem Morris. What would you say? Now look, guys, I think I already answered that. We're rolling with Kirk Cousins. He's our quarterback. All right? But everyone's got to be evaluated. Everyone's got to step up. There's a playoff spot on the line. We're going with Kirk Cousins, but no one, no one is under the guise of being able to Just do whatever they want and just go out there and do it. We're going to take it one game. Okay, wait a minute. Hold on, hold on. Are you evaluating everybody, which means Michael Penix Jr gets to play, or are you staying with Kirk Cousins? We're staying with Kirk Cousins, but I will say that every position is up for grabs. There's a playoff spot on the line. We are going to evaluate everyone, and I mean everyone. So Bijon Robinson is up for grabs after he went over a thousand yards. He starts fumbling the football or gets negative yards. There's someone right there ready to get in there. All right, Marvin, your turn to play. Raheem Morris. Kirk Cousins is our starter right now, but anything could change at any moment. Okay, Paul, we're looking at all options to win football games. I would, and that's probably the best answer. The less you say, the better. But it's. We believe in Kirk, but we have to have all options on the table here. We're trying to win a division. We're not trying to make friends. My job is to win. Here is the question and the answer for Raheem Morris. Are you prepared to replace him with Michael Penix? You know, we got everybody in our roster for a reason, right? We got so much to get better at. And like those things will always be discussed. That's just the nature of the beast in football. It just so heavily talked about it at the quarterback position because there's only one guy out there, you know, so like for us, man, our mentality is the final way to win the next game. That's just the mentality that we're going to have. Coach, you didn't answer the question in any way. No, he did a good job in avoiding it. But that's where you say, what would it take for you to go to Michael Penix Jr. Yes, Todd, I've already answered that. We need to win football games. Okay? We need to win football games. That's my answer. Now, he didn't say no or that he wouldn't consider Michael Pennix Jr. This is what I was told yesterday as I'm watching the game and I'm kind of going back and forth with a source and I said, what do you think Michael Penix Jr's development is if they're not even really considering him right now. And he said, this is what people, they make the mistake of Quinn Ewers at Texas and Arch Manning. Steve Sarkeesian sees Quinn Ewers every day in practice in Arch Manning and knows Quinn Ewers gives him a better chance to win in Arch Manning right now. He said the coach is there every day. They see this every day. I obviously there's something there or not there with Michael Pennix Jr. Right now maybe, and he listens to the show. So he goes, maybe they sprinkle him in if a game is out of reach. Either they're up by a lot or they're down by a lot, then maybe you give him a little bit of a run. But you're in a tight divisional race here with Tampa Bay and you can't afford any more slip ups if you're going to try to win this division. I mean, this is incredible that the Vikings may not win their division and they'll be on the road for a playoff game where Atlanta or Tampa will win that division and they'll host a playoff game or Green Bay is going to have a better record. You know, this has happened before where you have teams that, you know, don't even get to 10 wins or maybe they get to 10 wins. You're going to have a couple of teams that may have 13 wins and they're not hosting playoff games. Yeah, Paulie, I was looking at the cousin situation. He's completely under contract for a lot of money next year. Any chance the Falcons look at what Denver did and say we may have to eat one year, but we already have Michael Penix. The Dolphins, the Broncos made a gutsy move. They got ripped for that financial move. But it's working out for the Broncos. Now. The difference is Kirk Cousins is extremely likable. Sean Payton didn't like Russell Wilson. He didn't want him in the building. He didn't want Russ to have his own office. You know, all of this stuff. Like he wanted him gone. He wanted this. I'm coaching. I've got players. I don't have an assistant coach. And it's Russell Wilson down the hallway. Kirk Cousins is well liked now, probably losing some respect as far as being able to step up and play. And he played well earlier in the season. But five games, one touchdown, nine interceptions, that's inexcusable. But that might tell you where Michael Penck is in his development. Falcons next three games Their final three games Giants Commanders, Panthers. You got to win all three. You got to win all three and you should. Or at least you got a really good shot there. Commanders With Kirk playing his former team, maybe that's a big deal. But what's Tampa Final three games. Tampa's last three games at the Cowboys host the Panthers host the Saints. Yeah. So easier schedule. Can't afford. Can't afford another slip up here. But I don't know. Can you put Michael Pennix Jr. In now, three games to go? If they lost last night, I would. I would put him in. If they lost 15 to 9, then I would. If, if he's ready. Once again, I don't know his development. I don't have somebody with the Falcons who's saying, hey, you know, I had somebody with the Chargers who said, hey, Justin Herbert's the real deal.

How did you phrase the poll question? Todd? Which NFL franchise feels like it is in the worst shape? We had the Bears, Giants, Panthers, Raiders. Now we're thinking Browns, Jaguars, Titans should all be in the mix for that. Okay, here's my question for the danets and I asked them do you know who the head coach of the Titans is? Yes Marvin. Jeff Fisher. Yes. That's the last time I paid attention to Rabel. Yes. Did they whiff on Will Levis? Todd do you know the head coach of the Tennessee Titans, Mitchell Rhodes. It's not. I don't know who. Mitchell Rhodes. Sounds like an accountant. Coach Rhodes. We got to win one here. Win one for Coach Rhodes. Ray Rhodes. There you go. Paul, who's the Titans head coach? Not Dave Canales. I want to show that I know at least one obscure name. McGillicuddy. Yeah. Tommy McGillicuddy. No, no. I could have told me. I got it right. Yes, Marv, it's not McDonald. It's not Michael McDonald. He's in Seattle. So they got bad uniforms. Nobody knows their head coach. They may have whiffed on Will Levis. I put the Titans on there. Yeah. Paul, I have the name. Do you want it? Yeah. Brian Callahan. There you go. That's close to McGillicuddy or whatever. Wasn't Brian Callahan. Wasn't Tommy Boy. Tommy boy. Was it. Was it Callahan brake pads? Callahan Motors? Yeah. I mean, he was Tommy Callahan. I don't know if his dad was, you know, Brian Callahan. That's. Does he sell brake pads? Yes. Yes. Todd. Is that a relation to Bill Callahan? Can we safely say that or no? I don't know if that's. I'd have to check his. I don't know if that's his son. Bill Callahan, who was with the Raiders, went to Nebraska. Yeah. So, yeah, I would put the Titans on there. Kind of like, I don't know, Nondescript. Yes, Paul. And Bo Callahan was the quarterback in draft day that they didn't want to draft. Okay. Yeah. He had bad rap with his teammates. Yes. All right. No bad ideas when it comes to fixing the NBA. No bad ideas today. Let's see. Is it Jaron in Indiana? How's it going, dp? Hey, bud. I got a couple ideas for the NBA. I know this one's kind of been mentioned already, but I think they need to reduce the games they play in the season. They're just too watered down and it's hard for the fans to care if the players don't care. And I think they should work it in with their contracts as well. Not only the postseason awards, but the amount of money they make. If they set games, then they should lose out on money. Yeah, well, they've. I don't know if you can take the money away from them, but these are all ideas that they've already enacted. You got to play a certain number of games to qualify for all NBA awards. Let's see, what else do we have? Colin in New York. Hey, Colin. Hey, Dan. You ever play basketball with a girl? Like competitively? Yeah, I mean, like I, I did when I was in boys and girls club in fifth grade. My point guard was a girl and she was the best dribbler on the team. You know, it was awesome. And there's all these WNBA stars. I mean, how like tomorrow's headline Today, Sabrina outshines LeBron with triple double and win. You want to watch that game? You know, is it, is it on YouTube they got the highlights or the full game? You know, like, I mean, why don't we combine these two? I mean, I think after a while. Not even after a while. I think immediately, I think. Wait, wait, you want to combine the NBA and the wnba? Yeah, I just think it's just more, it's. It, it's great. It's great playing, you know, like with women. You could have like a rules. Like maybe you have to have three guys and, and two women on the court, you know, on your team. On the court. Okay, once again, I did state there's no bad ideas today, but I can't see that happening, Colin, but thank you. No bad ideas that probably wouldn't work out. Well, it's crazy. And once again, there's no bad ideas. Yes, Todd, what if we had little white lights around the perimeter of the basketball court? And when the lights are either on or blinking, feel free to chuck up as many threes as you want. When those lights are off, it's only twos. Well, I said that last week of you have the three point line lights up. I like that. When it lights up, then you get to shoot. Okay. It's putting a lot of power. Were you listening to me? I guess I thought mine was a little different. My lights were around the perimeter of the court and blinking lights when the lights are on and on. But who has the power to decide when you can take threes? And not some guy up in the rafters there that's plugging in, pressing a button, totally random, just on some kind of automated. Yes. Yeah, it's, you know, it's like a slot machine where you're never sure. Then all of a sudden it starts to light up. What if you're in the process of taking the three and all of a sudden the light goes down, Say, oh, I got. I released it before we got to look at the replay. What do you think happens? Lots of replay and the game takes five hours? No, bad idea. It's not a bad idea because I came up with it last week. It's a bad idea because you thought you came up with it this week. Okay, fair enough. I knew I heard it somewhere. It must have been stuck in the back of my mind somewhere. You should listen to the show. I do. It's a pretty good show occasionally. It's pretty well listened to show. They tell me that. What did Chris Meyer say when we had him on Many, many, many years ago? I listened to your show. I hear it's pretty good now. He said it's surprisingly good. Yeah. Thank you, Chris. That's not a compliment. Surprisingly good. No, no, not that. I'm waiting for a compliment from Chris Myers and I'm gonna go, hey, you know what? It's a decent show we got here. Thank you, Chris. Do we have our poll? So we have our poll question. Maybe we need to keep this for the next hour. Maurice Jones. Drew is going to join us. Oh, asking which team feels hopeless right now. Bears, Browns, Giants, Jags, Panthers, Raiders, Titans. More phone calls coming up next hour as well. It's the cup, Todd. Because it's the cup. Buck's Thunder tonight on abc. All the marbles. It's for the cup. The cup. Looking for excitement?
