Dan and the Danette's Dan Patrick Show. Not exactly the encore we were hoping for, but the Blue Jays handled the Dodgers and that series is now tied at two games apiece. Game coming up tonight, still no update on George Springer. He missed game four. His status for game five is unclear. Ohtani pitched. He pitched okay. Didn't do anything at the plate. But you had Vlad Guerrero Jr. III has been the best player so far in the World Series. 26 hits, seven home runs, 14 RBIs in the playoffs. These are all Blue Jays franchise records for a single postseason. But he, he took advantage of a meatball that Ohtani hung. And Ohtani knew it right away because that's a pitch that Ohtani hits out of the ballpark. But Vlad Guerrero sitting on that pitch and it was flat and he took it deep. So the Blue Jays, you know, they battled adversity. They're a big underdog here and you win that game following what happened the night before. But when you think about it, I think they left 19 runners in scoring position in the previous game. They could easily be up three games to one right now. Tied it to there. They have more hits than the Dodgers do, but this here's your pivotal game five coming up tonight.

Fritzi (6:15)

Well, we're just batting this one around right now. For whom is tonight's game more must winish? For whom is tonight's game more must winish?

Dan Patrick (6:26)

Ish. I would say the Dodgers. Really? Yeah. Yeah, because then you go back to Toronto. Oh, look at Marvin all decked out in his Blue Jay gear.

Chris Sims (6:35)

Come on, let's go. We're doing this for Carlos Delgado.

Dan Patrick (6:37)

Come on, you could be a bench coach there with Don Mattingly.

Chris Sims (6:42)

Come on. Oh, how many. Okay, lefty. Okay, we'll take a lefty.

Dan Patrick (6:44)

Yeah, yeah. I would say must winish for the Dodgers because then it goes back to Toronto. So what else do you have?

Fritzi (6:55)

We also had another one.

Dan Patrick (6:57)

Who.

Fritzi (6:58)

Who or whom are you rooting for, the Blue Jays or Dodgers?

Dan Patrick (7:03)

Well, we had. This is a breakdown prior to the start of the World Series. Four states that they were rooting for the Dodgers. Everybody else was rooting for the Blue Jays. That was the breakdown. Across the country. I could see that. I don't know if they're rooting for the Blue Jays are rooting against the Dodgers that, you know, have the Dodgers graduated to the evil empire, you know, with the Yankees. Even then when you look at the Yankees in the mid-90s, they weren't. They weren't, you know, an evil empire. Players. You didn't like a rod, but you liked Paul o' Neill and you like Bernie Williams and Mo Rivera and Derek Jeter. You know, maybe it was the old George Steinbrenner. You didn't like him, but still, do you dislike the Dodgers? Like, I don't think Otani has graduated to that. Where now you don't like him or now you root against him. Because it's still a great story, and you see something you've never seen before. But Freddie Freeman, Clayton Kershaw, Dave Roberts, Mookie Betts, those aren't guys that you root against, you may not root for. But I don't think you go, oh, I'm looking forward to seeing that guy lose. You might have thought that with Roger Clemens, with a Rod, maybe Andy Pettit, but, you know, for the most part, those Yankees in the mid-90s were, you know, just. They were great players. Those were great teams. But I don't think the Dodgers have graduated where you may not root for them, but I don't think you're rooting necessarily against them unless just the whole premise of they spend more money than everybody else, and that's not fair. Maybe that is probably what you know. But the Yankees did the same thing. You know, people say, oh, they're buying another World Series. Well, okay, here. The Dodgers, the Mets tried to do it, but maybe that's what it would be. Is. I don't like what they stand for or their business model, but every. Every fan would want this. If your team could spend the money, you'd go, hey, I don't care what you think. And that would be my attitude as well. We. We are playing by the same rules as you. We just said to Shohei Ohtani, how about we defer $68 million a year after you retire? How about you play for $2 million? Okay. They just kind of circumvented the rule. You know, this was a New England Patriots, Bill Belichick kind of moment where you go, wait, what are they doing? Anybody else can do this as well. I mean, I don't know if Soto said, hey, I'm gonna play for $2 million and then defer all my money to help out the Mets. I don't think that happened. Yeah, Seaton.

Fritzi (9:46)

A Rod wasn't really part of that great Yankees run. He came after the fact. So he.

Kyle McLaughlin (9:50)

That.

Fritzi (9:50)

That's when it was really hate.

Chris Sims (9:52)

Okay.

Dan Patrick (9:52)

They were really.

Fritzi (9:53)

He got one ring with them, but he missed that, like, Paul o' Neil wave, say, yeah, Bernie Williams and all that.

Dan Patrick (9:58)

That's fair.

Fritzi (9:58)

Yeah, I think.

Dan Patrick (10:03)

And a Rod's got a documentary out. It's a Rod versus Alex and I guess his two personalities. They didn't interview me for that, which I thought maybe I'd get a cameo in there since we. I was going to say we nearly came to blows. It was. He nearly punched me. Because there wouldn't have been blows. It would have been what happened? Did he. He hit me. Okay. But I thought maybe I'd get a cameo in there, but I didn't. I don't even know if they bring up the interview that we had with him that kind of started that mess with him and Jeter, when he was calling out Jeter and saying that he doesn't do anything as good as Alex does. Why are they paying him $18 million a year?

Paulie (10:46)

Yes, Paul, it's probably one of those documentaries where the subject of the documentary is also the executive producer, which is really not good for objectivity. Executive producer Alex Rodriguez. How is that going to be objective?

Dan Patrick (10:58)

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think I made the cut there. No one, no one reached out. No one said, hey, can we use a clip from your radio show? When Alex called out Derek Jet and then got mad at me because we played it on the radio show and then he did an interview with Scott Rab and said the same thing. And I think Esquire magazine, the same exact stuff. When he was interviewed by Scott Rabbit. I go, how can you be mad at me when you said the same thing to a magazine writer?

Paulie (11:32)

Yes, Paul, going Back to the 90s Yankees, their players weren't likable and even their winning wasn't dislikable. It's what happened after when if you're a fan of the Pirates or whatever team, you knew if you had a star player, the Yankees are going to grab them. That it's almost more like the late 90s, early 2000 Yankees, where, hey, Kevin Brown, and he's a Yankee. Mike Messina, he's a Yankee.

Dan Patrick (11:54)

Johnny Damon.

Chris Sims (11:55)

Yeah.

Dan Patrick (11:55)

Come on over here.

Paulie (11:56)

So, like the Dodgers, there's no reason to dislike them. They're following the rules, they're doing great work and their players are likable. But it's the effect where you realize there's like a 50% chance that Paul Skeens will be a Dodger in two years.

Dan Patrick (12:10)

Yeah, but, you know, the Yankees did this. But the Yankees were the first to really monetize having their own network. When you think about the yes. Network, they were so far ahead of everybody else. And then they treated this. And I, we've talked about this before. They treated their starting lineup like it was Must See tv. Like Thursday night NBC, Must See TV with Friends, where you're seeing your stars, you're seeing star power. And I thought it was brilliant. But that's what the Dodgers are doing. They're. They're spending the money. We're going to bring in people that you know when you tune it, I. You know, the Blue Jays, I don't know them. I know Bichette, and I know Vlad and Springer, but, you know, they're. They're trotting out. I got Ohtani. I got, you know, the biggest sports star in the world. And you got Freddie Freeman. You got Mookie Betts. You got that Dodger backdrop, the Dodger uniforms. The stars come out to watch the dot. You know, they. They treat it like that. It's an experience to watch. And I think that's a, you know, brilliant, brilliant business plan. Yeah. Seaton.

Fritzi (13:17)

I just prefer teams that win rings in a more fiscally conservative manner.

Dan Patrick (13:23)

Yeah. Who does that? Who does it? That's just.

Fritzi (13:26)

I just prefer that.

Dan Patrick (13:27)

Okay. All right, well, good luck. Yeah.

Fritzi (13:30)

Okay.

Dan Patrick (13:30)

That's.

Fritzi (13:30)

Look at all the money they spent. Yeah, no crap. Look at the money everybody's spending. Everybody's spending a ton of money. Anybody who's actually competitive is spending a fortune.

Dan Patrick (13:39)

I would love for my team to spend money if I was a fan. And I would say, I wish we would spend more money. I don't think there's a fan base that says, hey, let's be responsible here.

Fritzi (13:50)

I mean, I have to balance my home budget. Why doesn't the team balance theirs?

Paulie (13:54)

Right? Like, the dodgers are spending 350 million on this team right now. And you can make the case. Toronto spending 100 million less, but they're spending 255. They're seven. They're not the 28th team. They're not this lovable, cute town of Toronto.

Dan Patrick (14:08)

Yeah, yeah.

Paulie (14:10)

International city.

Dan Patrick (14:11)

Yeah.

Fritzi (14:12)

Do you have an International Airport? Okay.

Dan Patrick (14:17)

877-3-Dp-Show email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle PShow. The Saints have made a change. They have. Who is it? Tyler Shuck. Let's go. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I watched some basketball last night. I was watching the Bucks against the Knicks. It was Giannis against kind of Carl Anthony Towns. But dribbling is optional now in the NBA, as Giannis proved to us last night. Now, you know, I did slow it down this morning and watched and I. I counted five steps and a push off, and he didn't get called for anything but this silly gather step. Oh, my goodness. But, you know, traveling doesn't bother me as much as palming the basketball does, because that. That's an epidemic. That's everywhere. That's grade school, high school, college, NBA, G League, wnba. Everybody is doing that now, if you want to say. But there is a rule about pawning they don't call it. And there is a rule for traveling. They don't remember. You'd always have that guy, you know, they, you know, somebody be like, I was traveling. You move your hands in a circular motion. They're not calling that anymore. But if, if they just come out and say, hey, we're not calling that anymore. Because it provides better highlights, it allows guys to have more separation, make. Make great moves, athletic moves. Okay, but just tell me that and then I'll move on. But if you have it, call it. Yes.

Fritzi (16:04)

I think if your hands are big enough in grade school to palm a.

Dan Patrick (16:07)

Basketball, you should be allowed to. But you. I'm not talking about. Actually, I'm talking about carrying it. We called it palming because it would be the, you know, you couldn't have your hand go over the top of the ball. Yes, yes.

Paulie (16:21)

NBA Rule 10, Section 2, Section D. A player who is dribbling may not put any part of his hand under the ball and carry it from one point to another or cause the ball to pause and then dribble again.

Dan Patrick (16:35)

Okay, that happens every time. Down the floor.

Paulie (16:37)

Yes.

Dan Patrick (16:38)

Just. Okay. Next time the commissioner's on. Well, he might not want to come on anytime soon.

Paulie (16:43)

One topic, but, but the.

Dan Patrick (16:44)

When we get through this gambling stuff, the next time, I'm just going, sake, Commissioner, are we calling this rule? Because if you're not calling it, then, okay, I won't be there going, that's palming. He's carrying the wall. You know, nobody watches a basketball game with me because they're like, okay, tell.

Paulie (17:04)

Me you're a screen yeller.

Dan Patrick (17:04)

Yeah, tell me about the Jerry west days here. I mean, like palming, traveling. Yeah, Pauling.

Paulie (17:10)

Imagine if Fritzy emailed the NBA this morning and said, we want to talk to the commissioner only about Palmer. He'd be like, he'll call right in.

Dan Patrick (17:16)

Why don't they call traveling.

Chris Sims (17:17)

Can you get back to us on that?

Dan Patrick (17:18)

That's it. That's all I want to know.

Chris Sims (17:20)

No other topics.

Dan Patrick (17:21)

Yeah, that. That would be it for right now. That's more important to me than Chauncey Billups because he's not going to say anything about that. And it's, it's. It's quiet right now. And I don't know if that's a good thing or not because I keep waiting somebody. There's some journalists out there still, like Pablo Torre is going to find out something here soon. Quiet always makes me nervous. That feels dangerous. It's like nothing going on here. Like with the clippers with Kawai. Oh, by the way, when we come back, we're going to play Michael Jordan said it. I'm not surprised he said it, but I think whenever he says anything people are going to react. And the sit down with Mike Chico had something to say about load management. So we'll have that. Your phone calls are always welcome. We will also settle on a poll question this first hour. Oh, I got Chris Sims coming up. Is that right? Fritzi? That is correct. Oh, my bad. So we'll play the Jordan interview at least a portion of it coming up in a little bit. But Chris Kristoff Sims from Pro Football Talk Live will join us coming up. Take a break. Back after this. Be sure to catch the live edition.

I'm Ben Westoff, and this is the Peacemaker, a true crime podcast investigating a string of mysterious deaths at a prestigious Missouri university and the fraternity brother at the center of it all. A few years back, two fraternity brothers died by suicide just weeks apart. In shockingly similar ways, both were discovered by the same student, Brandon Grossheim.

I laid him down and proceeded. I tilted his head back and proceeded.

Chris Sims (23:01)

To give him mouth to mouth in cpr.

Ben Westoff (23:02)

At first, people gave Brandon the benefit of the doubt, but when three more acquaintances died the following year, the tide turned.

Kyle McLaughlin (24:22)

Join me and my delightful guests every Thursday and let's get weird together in a good way. Listen to what are we even doing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Dan Patrick (24:35)

We'll get to your phone calls, settle on a poll question. We'll hear from Michael Jordan talking about load management. Last night we bring in Chris Sims, Pro Football Talk Live co host, former NFL quarterback. You can also see him on football night in America. If I gave you the Chiefs or the field in the afc, who are you taking?

Chris Sims (24:56)

Oh wow, that's a good one right there. Oh man, I'm probably going to take the field. Okay. But I don't feel comfortable about that. I wouldn't put money on that. I would not. But yes, the Chiefs have figured out a lot of things and the AFC has left the door open here while they got their feet underneath them and got healthy here to where again now there's no question they're one of the top teams in the afc.

Dan Patrick (25:23)

Once again, what do you need to see from the Colts where you would acknowledge they could be the best team in the afc?

Chris Sims (25:30)

No, I, I'm, I'm, I will acknowledge that already and tell you I don't need to see anything. They are the best team in the AFC right now. If you go look at it. Maybe if there was something I'd like to see improved, could they use maybe one more difference maker? Right. Would they be in the, in the trade deadline business here of maybe getting a guy at the corner position that might be available out there. But man, Lou Annarumbo's done a really good job with that defense and you could see, right? I mean if he's got a Few. He can make it work. And where they're good is, yeah, they might let up a few yards on defense, but they make you kick field goals. They're pretty good at not letting you in the end zone. And then we know on the offense, Dan, there's nothing with the offense. I mean the offense is borderline perfect. Shane Steichen is one of the best offensive minds in the sport. You're seeing what Daniel Jones can do with a little talent around him. The O line, the tight end, the receivers, I mean the running back of course is an MVP player. They got it all right there in Indianapolis.

Dan Patrick (26:28)

It's.

Chris Sims (26:28)

They're a Super bowl contending type team.

Dan Patrick (26:30)

I think it's a good story. Remind me of last year's Vikings where we were like, let's wait and see when we get to the playoffs. And we saw what happened to the Vikings when they got to the playoffs, right?

Chris Sims (26:41)

Well, I think I would. I look at this as more offensive versatility and more danger that way. That's where I'd look at it to be a little different than the Vikings. With the Indianapolis's Colts ability to run the football, that to me makes them a little bit in a different class than last year's Vikings football team because they can control the line of scrimmage. And as you know, when you do that, the play action pass and all the other things that Shane Steichen has to deliver in that offense are pretty special off it. They got, they got it all on that side of the ball there in Indianapolis.

Dan Patrick (27:15)

You got Lamar Jackson coming back, going to play against the Dolphins. Are we getting to must win situation time?

Chris Sims (27:24)

I think so. Basically we, you know, I think last week started that. And the encouraging thing right where there's some teams out there where I'd go, I don't see it right. Like the Pittsburgh Steelers. I don't see it. It ain't going to get much better. This is what they are like. Don't hope for anything more that way. You know, there's teams like that out there. Baltimore on the other hand, I look at them and go, no, no, no. I see some things about their team to go watch out. One, their schedule is very favorable. They can go on a run here where we could look up in a few weeks and go, man, they're seven and five. All of a sudden, Lamar coming back. I got no worries about their offense. With Lamar at quarterback, they can run the ball pretty good as we know. Maybe not as good as everybody want him at quarterback. I mean their offense, I don't worry. The defense got healthy last week, Dan. That was the big thing. I didn't realize they were going to be back to full strength.

Dan Patrick (28:18)

Right.

Chris Sims (28:18)

And they look good and that's one thing you look at to go. Yeah, it's been underwhelming but they can fix that area and they give me some hope there from what I saw on film watching them back this weekend.

Dan Patrick (28:29)

Why are the Falcons a mess?

Chris Sims (28:31)

That's a great question. You know, one, I mean the all over the place that's a little bit having to do with leadership and then the coaches keeping them, you know, focused on the right things on a week in, week out basis. But that was a shocking game last weekend. I think one they're not patient enough with the run at times. For as good as they are in the run still there they don't throw play action pass very much and they've tried to dabble in that a little bit more but that makes no sense. You have Bijan Robinson on that old line and you don't have a play action pass game that's like in depth and can attack off of that. That, that, that's another issue there. So I, I think, you know, those are a few of the things but that's one that's hard for me to put my finger on it because they're more talented than what their record shows.

Dan Patrick (29:18)

Right now we're talking to Chris Sims, Pro Football Talk Live co host. Let's redraft the 2024 draft. So you have Caleb, you have Jaden, Drake May, Michael Pennix, Bo Nicks. Right, Redraft. Okay.

Chris Sims (29:34)

So I still think I'm going to give Jaden number one right now. I understand how awesome Drake May has been. Right. I get that. And I'm guessing that's where you're asking this question because it's been awesome and he deserves to be in the MVP conversation for me as well there. But yeah, I'm still going to go. Jaden from everything we saw and the year he had last year, yeah, a little banged up this year but he's won. Now this is where it gets interesting between Drake May and I'm still going to go with Caleb Williams here because I'm such a believer in Caleb Williams talent. No, you know, it's those two as I'm saying and I don't know it's close between that I'm going to take Caleb Williams but saying that, man, I'm just giving it just a little bit of, you know, I believe in Caleb Williams. He's not Playing the position quite as well as Drake May right now, but he's also going through.

Dan Patrick (30:29)

You don't sound very. You don't sound very confident.

Chris Sims (30:31)

Well, because it's a close one and I'm hemming and hawing here and trying to figure it out on the fly here. But no, this is the other thing with Caleb Williams where I defend him. You know, he's learning to play a style of offense and quarterback that he's never played before, and it's been pretty damn good. And it was better than people wanted to give him credit for last year. You know, now throwing the ball in rhythm and staying in the pocket and doing that stuff. Yeah, that's. He's been able his whole life, as you know, to be able to make magic happen and make it all go. And now he's kind of being rewired there. So I think that's why you have moments of going, oh, I don't know if that looks as good as I would like. But Dan, I will still tell you, he makes throws and scrambles and runs. Where I go, that's better than any of these guys in this rookie class that we're talking about. His arm is special, athleticism, special. But I'm gonna go him, too. I'll go Drake May 3. I'll go Bo Nicks 4. I'll go Michael Pennock's 5. And I'll go J.J. mcCarthy 6.

Dan Patrick (31:28)

Okay, but if you look at this and you say, okay, you're. You're hoping Caleb does what Drake May is actually doing. Right?

Chris Sims (31:36)

Right. Well, yeah, I think.

Dan Patrick (31:38)

I mean, Bo Nicks, too, like.

Chris Sims (31:39)

All right, so who's playing better at this second right now? Yes, it's Drake May, but we get into these quarterback conversations, too, and this is where it's hard sometimes. And this is where I fell into this with, let's just say Jordan Love and tua. I love Jordan Love. Coming out in the draft at first, I ranked him in front of tua. But recognizing, wait, he's not as good as TUA right now, but his talent, and if you just wait two or three more years, he'll be better than tua. And so that's where I get stuck in that combo. Drake May's hotter right now. He's playing better than Caleb Williams for sure. But I guess what I'm saying is I think Caleb Williams going to get there under Ben Johnson and ultimately surpass Drake May. I guess is what my belief is. Still.

Dan Patrick (32:23)

I see Cam Ward play on a weekly basis.

Chris Sims (32:26)

Yeah.

Dan Patrick (32:27)

Okay. The team isn't Good, but he is not good. Not right now. And. And if I look at Dylan Gabriel, who wasn't the number one pick overall, hasn't played well, plays for a bad team, and everybody's clamoring for Chador Sanders to get a chance when. Why aren't they doing something, you know, with Cam Ward that. Should you sit him down? His numbers are terrible, right?

Chris Sims (32:53)

Well, yeah, they're terrible.

Dan Patrick (32:54)

So we can say the Browns aren't any good and Dylan Gabriel isn't any good. Okay. Cam Ward's the number one pick in the draft. If his name was Caleb Williams, we would be criticizing him. He would be a focal point of all of these shows. Cam Ward doesn't have any social media presence, but you have Shador Sanders in Cleveland, so we're not being fair to Dylan Gabriel. And because he's a third round pick, he plays for a bad team. But Cam Ward is a number one overall pick.

Chris Sims (33:29)

Right? Well, you make a lot of good points there. First off, that just. You just explained that there's unwarranted, like, you know, criticism of Caleb Williams too much. I don't. I don't know why.

Dan Patrick (33:40)

Right.

Chris Sims (33:41)

I don't know why with that.

Dan Patrick (33:42)

Because he gets. There's a. You get clicks.

Chris Sims (33:46)

That's why he got hit his fingernails. He had a pink phone. He went to USC polarized after a game and it became a thing where I want to go, yeah, but he makes some of the damnedest plays and throws I've ever seen in the history of the game.

Dan Patrick (33:58)

I just don't think there's proper analysis.

Chris Sims (34:00)

I get you there. Where it's different here and where I'll say to you, like, first off, the Titans, come on. It's a freaking disaster. A disaster.

Dan Patrick (34:10)

Are they worse than the Browns?

Chris Sims (34:12)

Yes, they are. The Browns have an all star defense. If the Browns just have an offense at all, they'd be a real pain in the butt. That. That's. That's the problem.

Dan Patrick (34:20)

Okay.

Ben Westoff (34:21)

Right.

Chris Sims (34:21)

So I think, I look at that. I mean, the Titans, I mean, they're the coach that just got fired.

Dan Patrick (34:26)

He.

Chris Sims (34:26)

He didn't know the rules of what receiver getting in bounds is. I mean, there. That was a disaster there. I don't know what else to say. Cam Ward makes a few plays in every game, Dan. That I go, whoa. Makes a few throws every game. Where I sit here in the NBC viewing room and everyone goes, oh, my gosh, Cam Ward. Dylan Gabriel's had zero of those plays yet. Dylan Gabriel has moments where I go, I would never make him My starting quarterback. Are you kidding me? See ya. Let's call Shador and figure that out now. So I'm already in. Let's do the Shador thing. And not necessarily knocking on Dylan Gabriel all the way because it's. They don't have a great offense around him either, but they need to figure out what they got there because they're going to be right back in the quarterback draft market once again. And that's the only reason I say that. But, yeah, Cam Ward's shown me some elite stuff, at least along the way. Dylan Gabriel. Gabriel is not to this point.

Dan Patrick (35:15)

Okay. If Shador Sanders was putting up Dylan Gabriel numbers, nobody would be saying you got to put in Dylan Gabriel.

Chris Sims (35:22)

But probably not. No. And that's that. No, but that's not fair. And I agree with you there. And that's the problem with when you. That's why. Oh, the analytics said to draft Shador Sanders. Well, the human analytics of saying it's stupid and it's the number one thing that's a distraction. And talking about your football team all year. We don't talk about anything in Cleveland except Shador Sanders. Miles Garrett had five sacks. Is Shador going to start? So that's what's crazy and not fair to your point. A whole 100%.

Dan Patrick (35:49)

Okay. Pick. You get one pick in the NFC, you can take that team against everybody else.

Chris Sims (35:55)

Gosh, the nfc. So I think the NFC is so much better than the afc. Right. I mean, it's. It's not even close to me. I mean, again, you're talking about Kansas City, who's five and three. Are they the best team in the afc, Right. And there's a. There's flaws with everybody. The Chargers in the playoffs, flaws. Buffaloes, flaws. Pittsburgh. Oh, my gosh. Flaws. Right. You know, New England and Denver, there's still new kids on the block. Right after that is Jacksonville and Houston. Flaws everywhere. The NFC I go. Green Bay. Oh, my gosh, no flaws. Just play better. You're amazing. Philadelphia. Oh, my gosh. No flaws. Just play a little more efficient on offense. You're amazing. Tampa Bay, you're awesome. Just get healthy and you're elite. Detroit, do I have to say any more? I mean, we know Detroit's elite. The Rams, the Seahawks are a Super bowl like caliber football team with their defense and all of that. So I just look at the NFC and go, oh, my gosh, wow. Now you're going to make me pick one. Whoo. I feel Detroit right now. That's what I feel. Now they got to get healthy in the secondary, too. But I think if you made me pick one, I'm going to take Detroit. But it is close in the NFC and there's a lot of teams in that super bowl window.

Dan Patrick (37:15)

The best team that plays at Sofi Stadium is.

Chris Sims (37:21)

Definitely the Rams. The Rams, yeah.

Dan Patrick (37:24)

I.

Chris Sims (37:24)

The Chargers. The offensive line injuries just decimated them, right. And now they can't run the ball and it's just. And Herbert just carry us every week on that side of the ball. They are very good in pass defense, but they don't have enough difference makers in their front seven. With the Chargers, the Rams are. The Rams can win the Super Bowl. I don't feel that way about the Chargers.

Dan Patrick (37:48)

Before I let you go, your alma mater, Texas, Steve Sarkeesian, there was a report that said that he or his people were kicking the tires on him being a head coach in the NFL. What do you make of that?

Chris Sims (38:02)

I don't really buy that. Now, do I think maybe one of these owners that's looking to get a head coach might have said something to Diana Rossini or somebody out there to go. Yeah, Steve Sarkeesian, we're looking at him too. Did that happen? I don't doubt that. Do I think Steve Sarkeesian. Do I think the NFL is clamoring for Steve Sarkeesian? No, not right now. Especially, wait, you had the number one pick of the draft and he's fallen to 171 here. The offense doesn't look good. Like this is not the time you want to get Steve Sarkeesian in. And the other thing I would just argue is, I mean, there's not a better job in sports than being the head coach of Texas. You get paid like you're a big time professional head coach and you're the king of the land, as you know. And they got a role in a Texas. They're not playing as good this year, but yeah, I don't see that happening.

Dan Patrick (38:48)

Dan, what. What do you make of Arch, as Arch turned the corner here?

Chris Sims (38:53)

Well, I will the fourth quarter I thought was his best quarter last week of this, of his season.

Dan Patrick (38:59)

Right.

Chris Sims (38:59)

He made some throws and some plays where I went move. There's the Arch Manning I remember saw a little last year and all that. I think that, you know, his mechanics and his throwing just were not up to his standards or the way he threw it last year when he got in. And I think, Dan, when it happens, and you know this, when you don't throw the ball well and you don't trust where the ball is going to go, it starts to affect your decision making and I feel like that happened with him as well. Plus they weren't able to run the ball the majority of the year or help him out that way. So. Yeah, I mean, Archel, he's going to be back at school. There's no way he should go out in the draft. And you know, I think that'll be good for him and my Texas Longhorns.

Dan Patrick (39:38)

Okay. But every year at the draft, we talk about next year's draft class with quarterbacks. It's, it's usually not this draft class. So people were talking about this at the draft in Green Bay about, oh my God, wait till next year. Well, I know there's one guy who might be a top 10 pick and that's Mendoza at Indiana, I'm guessing, and that's Mel Kuiper talked about this. You got guys who are going to be going back to school. Like they're not, they're not coming out.

Chris Sims (40:08)

No. Yeah. Like Dante Moore has that type of talent. I hope he goes back to, goes back to Oregon though. I, I'd like to see him get one more year and experience there. I think it'll help him out. The guy I would tell you though, that I would put every bit in Mendoza's class is the kid at Alabama, Ty Simpson. Yeah, I mean, he makes more. Wow. Plays and throws to me on a weekly basis than, than even than Mendoza. But there's some good quarterbacks out there. You're right. But it's going to be about who comes out and yes, Dan, every year unqualified people make qualifying statements about the draft and what's going to happen next year. You know, Cade Klubnick, I was watching it last year, I was like, if he's the number one pick next year, people were saying that he's a top five pick. I'm going, are we watching the same game? He's a good player.

Dan Patrick (40:53)

Nuts Meyer.

Chris Sims (40:54)

Right, Right. Nuts. Meyer, I think, has fought through some injury and I do think there's some talent there. I think he had, he had an oblique strain I think that affected his throwing this year. But yeah, it hasn't been up to the standards of what we were, you know, sold in the, in the last offseason.

Dan Patrick (41:10)

Yeah, it's just we love to hype.

Chris Sims (41:12)

These quarterbacks and then, I know, quarterback, quarterback, quarterback.

Dan Patrick (41:15)

And then we blame them when they, they don't live up to our expectations.

Chris Sims (41:19)

Exactly right. Exactly right. It's, it's a messed up thing. And that's where I always I br. I blame Brady and Manning because just all those years of those teams being good and them being the quarterback, it just changed the. The public's perception of, like, well, if you got a quarterback, you should win every year. If you got a quarterback, you should win every year. And as we know, it's the ultimate team sport. And if you don't got the right team around you, you're not going to.

Dan Patrick (41:43)

Look that good at quarterback, more impactful as a quarterback. Peyton Manning or Tom Brady, as far as style and everything they brought, you know, Payton changed the game.

Chris Sims (41:54)

Yeah, yeah, and Tom changed the game, too. Now, they did it in different ways. I can tell you, in their prime, right, that when Peyton Manning came to town, our team was more nervous than Tom Brady.

Dan Patrick (42:09)

All right?

Chris Sims (42:09)

When Tom Brady came to town, it was like, oh, gosh, it's the Patriots and Belichick and Brady, right? When it was the Colts, the whole, the whole locker room and the coaching staff was like, the sheriff's coming, Peyton's coming, Peyton's coming. Oh, Red alert. Get your defensive checks ready. Holy crap, Here we go. Hey, Sims, you're the scout team quarterback. Can you be Peyton Manning this week? We need you to make 97 checks and do it all. So wait, you had to imitate Peyton Manning? I always had to do Peyton Manning, especially in Tennessee. I always did and I'd go, and I took great pride in doing that.

Dan Patrick (42:41)

How did it sound? Give me a little Peyton Manning.

Chris Sims (42:42)

Well, you know, I just had all his mannerisms down. You know, I'd be underneath the center and I'd fix my hip leg and I'd walk down and go down and, you know, and do all that stuff. I didn't exactly emulate his accent or do anything of that, but. But man, that's where Peyton Manning is, is one of the greatest ever, right? He really was. So he changed the game as far as giving control back to the quarterback at the line of scrimmage and do all that stuff, right. And putting more on the quarterback. That's where he changed the game. Brady changed the game and he changed his throwing mechanics once to extend his career and become a better thrower. And of course, what he did, health and longevity wise, so there's a little bit of both X's and O's, and football wise, I'll go with Peyton Manning. Off the build, lasting, keeping yourself in tip top shape. I go with Tom Brady.

Dan Patrick (43:31)

Good to talk to you.

Chris Sims (43:32)

You know it, man. You the man. Tell those jerks I said hi over there.

Dan Patrick (43:35)

All right. Hey, jerks. Chris says.

Chris Sims (43:38)

Yeah, thanks. Hey, jerks. How are you, jerks? See you later.

Jenna World, Jenna Jameson, Vivid Video, and the Valley is a new podcast about the history of the adult film industry. I'm Molly Lambert, host of Heidi the Heidi Fly Story, and I'll be your tour guide on a wild ride through adult films. We get paid more than the men. We call the shots. In what way is that degrading? That's us taking hold of our Life. In the 1990s, actress Jenna Jameson crossed over into mainstream culture, redefined stardom, then left it all behind. I'm a powerful woman. I think that's intimidating to a man. With a cast of hundreds of actors and comedians playing key figures, we'll take a look at how adult films became legal in the 70s, hugely profitable in the 80s and 90s, and fell off a financial cliff in the 2000s.

Ancient Athenians used to scratch names onto oyster shells, and they called these ostrakan to vote politicians into exile. So our word ostracize is related to the word oyster. No way.

Ben Westoff (47:17)

I'm Ben Westoff and this is the Peacemaker, a true crime podcast investigating a string of mysterious deaths at a prestigious Missouri university and the fraternity brother at the center of it all. A few years back, two fraternity brothers died by suicide just weeks apart. In shockingly similar ways. Both were discovered by the same student, Brandon Grossheim.

Fritzi (47:43)

I laid him down and I tilted his head back and presented again mouth.

Chris Sims (47:47)

To mouth in cpr.

Ben Westoff (47:48)

At first, people gave Brandon the benefit of the doubt. But when three more acquaintances died the following year, the tide turned.

Chris Sims (47:56)

The lawsuit says Gross Heim was one of the last people to see each victim before their death.

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

Paulie (49:32)

Two 1.

Chris Sims (49:33)

Vladdy hits it high left field. Hernandez back on the track. Looks up, it is gone. Block a top. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Puts them in the lead with a two run shot. Two 1. Blue Jays in the top of the.

Dan Patrick (49:48)

Third in the playoffs. 26 hits, seven homers, 14 RBIs. They're all blue Jays. Franchise records for a single postseason. That is your play of the day.

Fritzi (50:22)

Yeah, we got up there right now. Who is tonight's game more. Must winish for. Sorry for whom right now. Dodgers have 53% of that vote. Must win.

Dan Patrick (50:33)

Yeah, I agree. Shohei Ohtani is still your MVP favorite. Vlad Guerrero. I don't think you'll see somebody who loses the World Series get an mvp. I think it happened one other time and it might have been a Yankee second baseman Bobby Richardson. I don't.

Paulie (50:52)

Yeah, that's correct. 1960 World Series series.

Dan Patrick (50:55)

And that's the one that the Pirates won.

Paulie (50:57)

Right?

Dan Patrick (50:58)

And the walk off home run by Mazeroski. But Vlad Guerrero's numbers are incredible in the entire postseason. But it's. It's basically Shohei and Vlad Guerrero Jr. III. Although if Yamamoto pitches another complete game and they go on to win the World Series, he might be the guy. Freddie Freeman. Long odds. Alejandro Kirk has better odds than Yamamoto and Freddie Freeman. So it's Shohei minus 160. Vlad plus 300. You had a. Let's see. Chuck Howley was a linebacker for the Cowboys. They lost the super bowl to the Colts and that was Super Bowl 5 and he got the MVP. Can't. Jerry west was the most outstanding player in the NBA Finals and they lost to the Celtics, I believe. And he averaged 40 a game and he got the MVP. Yeah, Paulie.

Paulie (51:59)

Yeah, that was in 69. So basically in the three major sports it's happened three times and not in the modern era. It doesn't seem like the media would ever do that again in this. What like let's say Ohtani just keeps tearing it up and really tears it up and the Dodgers lost. You could easily make the case he was the most valuable person on the field. For the seven games. But I can't see the media actually doing that vote.

Dan Patrick (52:24)

Yeah. Because I'm going to guess Vlad Guerrero. If the Blue Jays win, Vlad Guerrero is going to have a large hand in this. And I don't. I don't think you want to set precedent here where you go, you know, Shohei. If Shohei pitched great last night, then, you know, maybe, but I, I can't. He would probably get a vote or two for mvp. I'm guessing because I'm. I'm sure there are guys on losing teams who have gotten an MVP vote. Maybe. Yes. Todd.

Chris Sims (52:54)

Yeah, that just seems very awkward and strange.

Dan Patrick (52:56)

Like you feel like you have to. They're the winning team.

Chris Sims (52:59)

You got to pick somebody from the winning team. Even if there's someone on the opposing team that just had better stats over the course of the game.

Dan Patrick (53:05)

Yeah.

Chris Sims (53:05)

Seem weird.

Dan Patrick (53:06)

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, you know, there's still a lot of baseball left to be played. And starting, you know, tonight, game five. And then you go back to Toronto at 8, 7, 7, 3, DP show email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle @DP Show Brent in Vegas. Hi, Brent. What's on your mind today? Good morning, Dan.

Chris Sims (53:26)

First time, really long time. First, I want to say thank you to you and the Danettes. My question is, is baseball missing opportunity here by not spacing out the World Series games? If you think about, they start at seven games.

Dan Patrick (53:40)

If it goes the whole full series.

Chris Sims (53:42)

They'Ll be done in all of nine days.

Dan Patrick (53:46)

Well, I see we complain when it's too, too many days in between games. I like the fact that it's bang, bang, bang here, but you're also going up against the NFL. You got a Thursday night game. The fact that you're going to go, you know, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and then you're gonna go Friday and Saturday, I'm all for it. The NBA Finals, it stretched out. It felt like it was a month when I was covering that. Too many days in between. But everybody is trying to pick a day where you can have a standalone or you don't have competition. And if you do have competition, you don't want NFL competition. And that's what baseball is trying to do. So I'm okay with it. I do think it taxes the pitching staffs here with, with, you know, today's analytics. That would be the only thing that I would probably push back on. I'd like to be able to see better pitching or you're able to use your pitchers. Yes, Todd, from a player standpoint, I.

Chris Sims (54:51)

Can understand on one hand you want.

Dan Patrick (54:52)

A little extra rest, but for if you're the winning team, you want to take that motivation, the momentum and get.

Chris Sims (54:56)

Right back out there.

Dan Patrick (54:57)

And same for the losing team. We just lost.

Chris Sims (54:59)

We don't want to stay, sit and.

Dan Patrick (55:00)

Deal with that for a couple days. The faster we can get back out there and even things up. So I would think both teams would want to play the next day as soon as possible. Yeah. If you're the Dodgers and you had an 18 inning win and a walk off win and that excitement kind of carries over into last night, or at least you think it's going to. We got Ohtani on the mound and then the Blue Jays are like, let's get rid of that feeling here. Let's go right in and start playing. Boom. We get a home run from Vlad Guerrero. Now we're back. Now we have the momentum. I thought it was great. I'm fine with that. Where you have back to back because we normally don't do that in most sports. You drag it out. And I remember those Bulls series. It just felt like it was forever. And it was. And they never went to a seventh game either. Mike only got to six games. I think by choice. He was like, I'm, I'm. I don't need to go to a game.

Fritzi (55:53)

Load management for Mike.

Dan Patrick (55:54)

Well, segue. Mike talks about load management coming up. One hour in the books. Fritzi's here. Seaton, Marv, Paulie, yours truly and the backroom guys back after this.

Paulie (56:05)
