Paulie
You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. Well, we did it. We made it to Las Vegas. And I want to thank Fritzi for his bedside manner, because been under the weather the last couple of days, but nobody checks on me quite like you do, so thank you for that. Well, the special nature of our relationship. I'm glad you're slowly improving. Yes, it was bad yesterday. If we were. We got to Vegas, and I woke up, and I thought if I had to do a show, I wouldn't be able to do it. I was going to call Paulie and say, hey, welcome to the Paulie Pabst show, that he was going to have to do the show. But came. I had a doctor who came in, gave me a couple of shots, and for the first time, And I think 45 years, she said, pull down your pants. And I got a shot. And in. In my butt, I. I rolled up my arm, you know, my sleeve, and I go, okay, just give me the shot. And she goes, no, you got to pull down your pants. And I said, how many times have I heard that in Vegas? But got the shot. So feeling a little bit better today? Yes. Paul.
- [03:30]
Todd
Wait, you went to a doctor? You called room service and ordered up a doctor?
- [03:33]
Paulie
I ordered a doctor.
- [03:34]
Todd
They do that here.
- [03:36]
Paulie
You can get anything in Vegas.
- [03:37]
Todd
Actually, this seems like the town where in house, doctors could come in handy with performers, apparently.
- [03:42]
Paulie
I forget what her name is. She has a nickname of. She's that doctor that goes to people when they need something. Celebrities. I'm told she's also working the race here in Vegas. So if Max Verstappen needs a shot or something, and then she'll be here to help him out. Yes. I like that in this town, people like that always have crazy stories where they're like, oh, yes, anyway, I'm working on Sinatra's back, right? And this guy, what? And then I slowly worked my way down.
- [04:09]
Todd
Yes, but when you're getting the shot, do you even ask, or you just think she knows what she's doing? I'm going to feel better in 20 minutes.
- [04:15]
Paulie
I don't know her. I've opened the door, and then she says, you know, hi, and then introduced herself. The next thing I know, I got my pants down.
- [04:21]
Todd
That's Vegas in a nutshell.
- [04:22]
Paulie
Yes. Yes. Don't you ask you.
- [04:24]
Dan Patrick
Do you take Cigna UnitedHealth.
- [04:25]
Paulie
How did the insurance work during that whole process? I didn't have to fill out any paperwork, but I'm here. Sound a little rough here, but thank you to my, my special doc who made a house call, literally made a house call there for me. All right, Ross Tucker, our good buddy, will join us. He is going to be on the call for the Browns and the Raiders here in Las Vegas. You got Shador Sanders making his debut. This turned into this a big game now. Now we care about this. Nicole Briscoe works for the mothership covering Formula one. She'll join us here. Frank Caliendo. We saw Frank last night, went to dinner with him and he's on fire, ready to go. But you know, in Vegas you're walking around and all of a sudden you go, I think that's Michael Douglas. So one of the great actors of all time and Mario, who is the eyes and ears of the show, he said, I think that's Michael Douglas. I go, well, we know Michael Douglas. He was in our fantasy, our March Madness. And I go, yeah, he was in studio. So I said, we'll see if Michael Douglas wants to join us. He's going to join us tomorrow on the show. We're coming in from dinner and we're going through like the revolving doors. And I go, I think that's Mad Friend who has become, he's blown up in the last two years, very, very funny comedian. He's going to join us on the show tomorrow. So you never know who you're going to see here in Las Vegas. Amazing impressionist. Yes, he is amazing. Yes, yes, Paulie.
- [05:46]
Todd
And it's pretty surreal in the moment. And I was thinking about it afterwards. We're walking to the Fontainebleau lobby with Frank Caliendo, one of the most successful comedians who bases a lot of his act off imitations. And here comes Matt Friend, the new gunslinger in town. A tall, rangy like 27 year old gunslinger and caliento and firing off imp, casting each other in the night in Vegas. It was like a movie scene.
- [06:08]
Paulie
It was like you're in the middle of the street in a western and you know, it's like, yeah, 20ft away from each other. Like you go with your impression.
- [06:17]
Todd
What do you got for me, Frank?
- [06:19]
Paulie
Go ahead, give me your Jon Gruden. I'm gonna come back with Howard Stern. But. And Frank was like, oh man, he's the real deal. So getting Frank, so he's been doing this a long time. Matt friend is like 27 years of age. I like the idea that they're in this, like, shoot off. And one is imitating Clint Eastw and the other one is like, I'm your huckleberry. They immediately dive into impressions. Facing off. Yeah, yeah.
- [06:45]
Todd
This guy, Matt Friend, three years ago, he was not that well known. He's only 27, but he used the Internet. He goes up to celebrities and imitates them right into their face on red carpets. And it's blowing up.
- [06:55]
Paulie
Yep. He'll join us on the program tomorrow. But we look forward to having Frank Caliendo who flew in just to do the show. He said, hey, I can rearrange my. My schedule. And he said, I'd love to come in. So took him to dinner last night. All right. 8, 7, 7, 3 DP. Show operator Tyler sitting back at the home office. He'll take your phone calls. So here at the Fountain Blue, they rolled out the red carpet for us for super bowl when the Fountain Blue was just opening up. And we kind of view it as a home away from home. Great people. And this is kind of our residency. You know, artists will have their residency and this is ours. We not out as much as we should have or should be for a residency. But, you know, it's not like Adele is gonna, you know, or Celine Dion with their residency. This is. This is sort of ours. Yes. And you know, it's a little known fact, but that 6 to 9am residency window is highly coveted in this town. Highly coveted. That's where the big superstars are at. Yeah, Mike. Mike and Mike were always looking at that. Oh, yeah, yeah. Not even. Not a chance. Okay, so operator Tyler is sitting by. He'll take your phone call. Say good morning if you're watching on Peacock or the NBC Sports Network. Download the app if you haven't done so. We have football tonight. Bills at the Texans. The Bills are favored by five and a half. No C.J. stroud here. Davis Mills once again. But a couple of weeks ago I said the Texans are on the clock. They're coming back. They're going to be like the Ravens now. They're 5 and 5. They have one of the best defenses in the NFL and there's still time for them. The Jags are 6 and 4. The Colts are 8 and 2 in the division. Texans still have the Colts and they have the Chiefs twice. So maybe some tough sledding there for them. But the Bills at the Texans, and that's five and a half points. Aaron Rodgers, not sure if he right now. And Lamar Jackson, if he as well as I don't think they practiced yesterday. And the college football poll, you know, sometimes you look at the poll and you think that's what's. The. What the 12 team playoff is going to be. And that's not the case. Ohio State, Indiana, A and M, Georgia, Texas Tech, Ole Miss, Oregon, Oklahoma and Notre Dame. And there is going to be some debate. There's been debate. There will be probably some yelling and screaming if Notre Dame gets in and Miami doesn't get in and Miami beat Notre Dame to start the season in Miami. But it's tv and whenever you factor in tv, you got to factor in popularity. And if Notre Dame and Miami are sort of equal, even though the Irish. Yeah. Yes. Okay. Marcus Freeman and the Irish. So you know, Miami will be on the outside looking in. Yes, Paulie.
- [09:43]
Todd
But it's interesting what rationale you use because Kirk Herbstreet and Rhys Davis were talking the other day and they said, shouldn't you look at the team, how they're playing now, not how they're playing in September? Because you're building a tournament for December, January, and Notre Dame's playing better than Miami. So you can make that case. There's lots of different rationales.
- [09:59]
Paulie
And A and M beat Notre Dame at Notre Dame. So you know, that's not. That just strengthens A and M schedule, but also strengthens Notre Dame schedule that they played A and M. And A and M is one of the top five teams. But if you were going to give me the first round of the playoffs right now, how would that match up?
- [10:16]
Todd
As of today, the first four games would be Notre Dame, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tulane, Texas Tech, Alabama, Oregon and Miami. Ole Miss, that's saucy.
- [10:29]
Paulie
Is Lane Kiffin going to be there at Ole Miss? Is there a chance that Lane Kiffin takes a job before Ole Miss season is up? Here is Lane Kiffin on Pat McAfee show earlier this week. That's absolutely not true.
- [10:45]
Dan Patrick
There's been no ultimatum, anything like that at all. And so I don't know where that came from.
- [10:49]
Paulie
Like a lot of stuff that comes out there.
- [10:51]
Todd
Like I said, man, we're having a blast.
- [10:53]
Paulie
I love it here. Okay, so there's no ultimatum that he had to make up his mind before the end of the month. But at some point he has to have an ultimatum there. If, if I am Ole Miss, I say, you're having a blast here. This is the greatest season we've ever had. Are you going to stay here or not? Just now I would ask him, what are you waiting for? That'd be about the only question I've asked. Link, what are you waiting for? Just so we know, are we in the game here or does this come down to Florida and lsu? Is it between those two and that's what you're waiting for? But I wonder, does he take a job and he does not coach this team once they get to the playoffs. That would be a terrible look. But if he's leaving, that's probably going to happen. Yeah.
- [11:41]
Todd
Paul, maybe we should allow trades in college football where you could trade coaches so Ole Miss realizes we may lose this guy. Let's trade him to Florida for a couple nice linebackers and you get the other coach.
- [11:50]
Paulie
I was gonna say you don't want any coaches from Florida.
- [11:53]
Todd
The other funny thing was I was looking at a picture of James Franklin at. At Virginia Tech and he's rocking out. He's got the whole thing and the Virginia Tech clothes had. Nine weeks ago, he was the number two team in the country with Penn State. Nine weeks rampant.
- [12:06]
Paulie
Yes. Don, you're having a blast. So what number are you thinking about.
- [12:09]
Dan Patrick
To have more of a blast that you really, really are enjoying being here?
- [12:13]
Paulie
You. How about a financial blast? Here, let me. Let me help understand here. Lane. But Lane is. He's kind of the biggest dealmaker here. It's his year with what Ole Miss has done and now everybody's going to go, what? Can you win a national title at Ole Miss? Well, he's done pretty well in Ole Miss and I don't know if I would get to where Brian Kelly and go, I can't win a national title at Notre Dame, so I'm leaving. Meanwhile, Marcus Freeman has been in a national title game and might be headed back there this year. Turns out you can't want to win one at LFU either. You know what I mean? Wait, is that your Brian Kelly impersonation? No. If I was gonna do that. Okay. Oh, my games. One of them. Neither there. Just the fact that Brian Kelly reached out to a pr, an image shaping person to help him with his image.
- [13:06]
Todd
Before or after he.
- [13:08]
Paulie
Before, I think. Well, no, during lsu. Oh, brother. And I would be like, you know the best way to improve your image? Win some games. That'll do it. I don't care what accent you got. Yeah, yeah. You could be from Belarus. It doesn't matter. Go out there and win a game or two. Classic Belarus. Yeah, yeah. Belarusian. They're four, four and a half point underdogs this week. Yes.
- [13:32]
Todd
Brian Kelly should think about if Boston College opens up, going back there Go back to his original accent a little easier. Just do what came naturally.
- [13:39]
Paulie
Get his New England roots.
- [13:41]
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
- [13:41]
Paulie
Then it can sound like the guys from the movie the Town.
- [13:44]
Todd
Get the car.
- [13:45]
Paulie
Yeah. Guys will this weekend boys, come on. The Departed. Yeah. Goodwill hunting. God, those accents are terrible. In the depot. I don't know why we got the number. How about that?
- [13:55]
Dan Patrick
What can I use your father?
- [13:57]
Paulie
I don't know what it is about hearing a Boston accent in a movie that doesn't sound real, but when you're in Boston and you hear that accent, you know it is real. And it still doesn't sound real, actually. Like, there's no way. You don't really do that.
- [14:10]
Todd
And Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg are on the set. You think they'd be like quality control coaches. Like, hey, that's not the right accent.
- [14:16]
Paulie
You don't say that to Jack.
- [14:17]
Todd
You can't say that. You don't say that.
- [14:18]
Paulie
You don't. Poll question today. What are we going with, by the way? I guess celebrity sighting. On the way out here, Paulie had a celebrity sighting.
- [14:28]
Todd
Do you want to knock it out now? It's good.
- [14:30]
Paulie
Yeah, because you've been teasing it for, I think, 48 hours, and I've been under meds, so I was giving you.
- [14:36]
Todd
Something to look forward to.
- [14:36]
Paulie
I'm coming in and out of consciousness here.
- [14:38]
Todd
So I'm at Newark Airport. I'm going up to the United Lounge, and there's two flights of stairs you have to go up to the United Lounge, and then there's an elevator you could take. And as I go into the United Lounge, the door opens up and, bing, their guy comes out, and we both recognize each other. Shockingly, he recognized me. He's like, hey, and here's the hint, okay? The first hint.
- [14:59]
Paulie
John Ham.
- [15:00]
Todd
No.
- [15:01]
Paulie
Michael Strahan.
- [15:02]
Todd
No. I would say more famous than both. What, this guy Matt Damon? No, but different field.
- [15:10]
Paulie
But Ben Affleck, Oprah.
- [15:12]
Todd
This guy's an athlete, and he is clearly the greatest ever to do what he did. Where it's not even a discussion. Michael Phelps is correct.
- [15:23]
Paulie
That's a good one.
- [15:25]
Todd
So I. The elevator opens, Michael comes out, and I look, and then I look back, and he looks at me, and he double takes. Hey, man. And, you know, he doesn't know, like, hey, Paul. He's not gonna say that, but, like, are the guys here? And I go, oh, we're all going out to Vegas. I. I said, where are you going? He goes, oh, going back to Arizona. And we walk into the thing, and of course, I said, I go, you took the elevator? He goes, yeah, I go soft. Which he liked the joke. He actually. It was risky. We go into the united line as.
- [15:50]
Paulie
Opposed to taking the escalator.
- [15:51]
Todd
I took. No, I walked two floats of steps.
- [15:53]
Paulie
Oh, you did.
- [15:54]
Todd
Like a champion. It was like a hundred meter butterfly for me.
- [15:57]
Paulie
Okay.
- [15:58]
Todd
And then we walk in, we go up to the bar, and I go, want to drink? I'm buying. He goes, they're free. Okay, that. Not bad.
- [16:06]
Paulie
Yeah.
- [16:06]
Todd
And then he went and sat. We said goodbye and that was it. But it was nice to see him.
- [16:10]
Dan Patrick
Okay.
- [16:11]
Todd
He put the hoodie on, though, because people were like this and that. He did say one time a woman came up to him and goes, you're the guy. You're the Olympic guy. Usain. Usain. And he goes, that's right, man.
- [16:23]
Paulie
Yeah. In the pool. I am Usain Bolt. Yes. Yes. Todd.
- [16:27]
Dan Patrick
The odd thing is he was wearing.
- [16:28]
Paulie
A speedo with a bunch of gold medals around. Why would you walk around? We get it.
- [16:31]
Dan Patrick
We get it.
- [16:31]
Paulie
Get out of here.
- [16:32]
Todd
But he said hello to all the crew.
- [16:34]
Paulie
Okay.
- [16:34]
Todd
It was very nice to see him.
- [16:35]
Paulie
All right. All right. That was worth the wait.
- [16:37]
Todd
Yeah. Michael Phelps.
- [16:38]
Paulie
Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah. Todd has a rhyme time a little later on. Vegas version of rhyme time. You ready for that? Yeah.
- [16:47]
Dan Patrick
I know you're on med. I don't know if that's good or.
- [16:48]
Paulie
Bad that you're on. Marvin was ready to applaud. I was ready. Are we not feeling the support? Not feeling the love? That's okay. Rhyme time. Tomorrow we do it whenever. Okay. Maybe like noon eastern Friday.
- [17:00]
Dan Patrick
That would be what everyone would suggest.
- [17:01]
Paulie
By the way, Pick up the calendars. There's autographed, non autographed calendars. And you go to danpatrick.com also check out the tailgate store to see how you can get an autograph calendar with select tailgate purchases while supplies. Last stat of the day has been brought to you by. Will be brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show. We get to talk to Ross Tucker when we come back. I love Vegas. Vegas is great. So, you know, we should see if Frank Caliendo does a Ross Tucker impersonation. Oh, on short notice.
- [17:31]
Todd
That's going to take.
- [17:32]
Paulie
Put me out of business, by the way. It's. It's hard. If he does Andrew Luck and Ross Tucker, you're done. Yeah.
- [17:37]
Todd
Move on.
- [17:37]
Paulie
But you can't have a conversation with Frank Caliendo at dinner without having a conversation with Morgan Freeman, John Gruden, Charles Barkley. So it just. All of a sudden, it's like you're talking and then all of a sudden, next thing I know, he's giving you that. That John Gruden look. His face just starts bending in ways. We went to the Golden Steer last night, which is wonderful. Great people there. It's right off the. It's old Vegas. In fact, the Rat Pack used to go into the Golden Steer. Had their own little booths in there. It was. It was great. Really. Well, baby. Yeah. Yes, Paulie. Yeah. And.
- [18:13]
Todd
And Frank Calando came off the bench.
- [18:16]
Paulie
Because the If I. Yeah, man.
- [18:19]
Todd
Coco Fritzi tapped out last night. Frank Calando sits in for Fritzy. He did a little Fritzy just face.
- [18:26]
Paulie
He doesn't do your voice. He does your face. Does my face.
- [18:29]
Todd
And yes, we know it. New as you in two seconds.
- [18:31]
Paulie
Topod radio, though.
- [18:32]
Dan Patrick
That'll be.
- [18:33]
Paulie
It's a good thing. Yeah. Yeah. It's better on. On Peacock and NBC Sports Network. I wonder how much time goes by. I know we're up against the break here.
- [18:39]
Dan Patrick
How much time goes by where he.
- [18:40]
Paulie
Slips into doing an impersonation? When you're going out socially with Frank Caliendo. Is it after a couple of minutes? How long can he stay Frank Kelly under before he has to do shit? That's what I just said. No, but I'm saying. But how much time? Basically, like not more than a couple of minutes. And then he goes right into. If you would have gone with us. I know I missed it. I can only envision it. Some of us. Todd. Who know. Exactly.
- [18:57]
Todd
Yeah, Todd. Miraculous recovery.
- [18:59]
Paulie
3 minutes and 8 seconds. No, it's 42 seconds. And then he goes into an impersonation. And then. I ordered the primary. How about we take. Is that your mortgage? Feels good. All right. You should work on that, Todd. That was good.
- [19:12]
Dan Patrick
I'm assuming you'll pay the bills.
- [19:15]
Paulie
And I did. You did. I did. Although Frank had an allergy, did you notice that he kept rubbing his nose the whole meal. Bad for him. And he goes, I got an allergy.
- [19:27]
Todd
He said he got pepper in his nose.
- [19:29]
Paulie
All right, let me take a break here. I hope it's just an allergy. Just getting started here. Ross Tucker will join us. He's going to do Shador Sanders, NFL starting debut against the Raiders.

What does a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich reveal about the economy? Our breakfast foods are consistent consumer staples and so they sort of become outsize indicators of inflation. What's behind Elon Musk's trillion dollar payout? There's a sort of concerted effort to message that musk is coming back. He's putting politics aside. He's left the White House. And what can the PCE tell you that the CPI can't? CPI tries to measure out of pocket costs that consumers are paying for things.
- [22:35]
Todd
Whereas the PCE index that the Fed targets is a little bit broader of a measure.

If you do join us in Las Vegas, we're on from six to nine local, and you come to the second floor of the food court there at the Fountain Blue Hotel and come in and join us here. We'll be back tomorrow. Michael Douglas, the legendary actor. It's always weird when Michael Douglas came into the New York studio that day. And I've met a lot of famous people, but sometimes you meet people and you go, be damn. That's Michael Douglas walking in here. And he goes, hey, Dan. Like, like, all right, guys. Keanu Reeves was another one where he came in, no entourage. He looked like he was 35. And I think at the time he was 50. And he just came in. He goes, dan. And I go, where's your entourage? He goes, I don't. I don't have one. And I thought, okay, we didn't have to. I mean, he's John Wick. He doesn't need an entourage. And I'm messing with John Wick. Oh, I'm not. Yeah, Paulie.
- [24:44]
Todd
I remember when Michael Douglas walked into the man cave, he looked like a million bucks. He had this tan suit on. He was tan, his hair looked great. And like you said, we've had on tons of actors when he walked out, I looked to you guys, I said that there is a movie star, guys.
- [24:56]
Paulie
Yeah, we've had a few of those moments. Which leads us to Ross Tucker. Now, the CBS Sports. Ross Tucker football podcast. Follow him on social media at Ross Tucker, NFL in the booth for the Browns and the Raiders this Sunday. Yay. We get to talk about Shador Sanders and have a reason to hear. Ross, good to talk to you. What do you, what do you hope to see from Shador Sanders this Sunday?
- [25:26]
Dan Patrick
Boy, I guess just making strides and improvement and I think that he definitely will look better than he did on Sunday against the Ravens. Although I would also say this, Dan, I think if you watched each play and the coaching tape of each play, it looked a lot better to me than when I just saw the stats. You know, you initially see 4 of 16, interception, whatever. When I watched, I thought it was better than that. You know, he made some really good throws. They very much struggled to pick up the blitzes that the Ravens were bringing at him. I mean, they, they threw the kitchen sink at him. And not just at him. They threw the kitchen sink at the Browns offense. And the Browns offense did not do a very good job of picking it up and putting Shador in a better position to succeed. I think we're all just excited to see what does it look like when the whole game plan is designed for his strengths and to mitigate his weaknesses. He gets every rep this week throwing the ball to Jerry, Judy and those guys. I'll say this, Dan, we can't look at this one game and, and make a definitive judgment as to what his NFL career is going to be. But I am really excited, like everybody is, to see what he can do with having everything aligned for him, at least for this week.
- [26:48]
Paulie
Yeah, I think everybody seems to pick a side with this topic. I just said let the kid play, that's all. I just don't want the media to make him into Tim Tebow that you're not good enough to start, but there's too much of a distraction to keep you on a roster. Because I remember when Tebow did he go to the Patriots and I go, how do you cut Tim Tebow? Like, you get to that point and head coach doesn't want to be dealing with that. I hope she door can show us that he can either play or he can't play because you're going to put so much pressure on a head coach that he's got to deal with the Shador situation. And I agree with you when I'm Watching that game, he had no time. I would, I would tell him, you got a clock in your head, that if it's not there in three seconds, throw it away, don't try to make a play, you're not athletic enough, you're not your dad, you got three seconds at the most and Max Crosby's coming after you. So get it, read it, get rid of it, and live to see another play. Your thoughts?
- [27:48]
Dan Patrick
Well, it's funny that you mentioned, you know, the Tebow effect, because I, most people I talk to thought he was like a late first round, early second round pick. So I believe that, you know, maybe he didn't nail the pre draft process and you talk to people and they'll tell you that. But I still do think that how popular he is or how polarizing, whatever word you want to use, I do think that contributed to his fall in the draft because I think people said, okay, if he's not going to be the starter, we don't want the most talked about person on our team to be a rookie, second or third string quarterback. And you know, Dan, I, I think I told you this. I never experienced anything like this calling games. But last year I did Colorado, Colorado State on TV for cbs. And then I don't know if it's real people or it's bots or what, but if you say anything positive about Shador, there's a weird group of people or bots or whatever, they jump down your throat right away. That was an easy pass. The, the receiver made the play, he's not good. And then if you say anything negative about Shador, there's a whole other like group of people or bot army or whatever. Nobody's just kind of like relaxed with him. It's, it's the strangest thing that, and I can, I guess I can see how someone has supporters that are that strong. The weird part of it to me is this group of detractors that seem so invested in him not performing well. I have never experienced it like that any other game. After the game I looked at my social media mentions and it's like people were big mad no matter what I said.
- [29:42]
Paulie
You know, it's agenda based coverage. I see members of the media, it's agenda based that they want to have, they have a relationship probably with Dion. You want to stay in good favor with him. It feels like they're fighting for Dion and Shador and kind of carrying the water or the complete opposite. And, and as I've said on the show, I voted him third in the. Heisman I thought of him that much that he played behind a bad line, hung in there, took some big hits, put up some big numbers. And I just said, I think he's going to start this year. Give him a chance. Let's just see if the kid can play. It's hard enough to play the position now. Everybody is going to be watching you, and everything you do is going to be scrutinized. Now, has he invited this? Yes. Deion joined us in New Orleans at the super bowl, and he told us he was dictating the draft of where his son would go or not go. So they kind of put themselves in this position. And it's ironic that he makes his first start with the team I thought was going to draft him, the Raiders, and they passed him up. And Tom Brady is known. Dion and Shador. He is mentored. Shador. And Tom is a minority owner of the Raiders. And it told me an awful lot that a team that could use a backup quarterback and maybe an eventual successor to Geno Smith, they passed on him, I think, you know, five or six times.
- [31:06]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, well, a lot of. He was passed on him a lot of times. Although there have been reports that have come out that evidently, you know, he and Dion told certain teams not to take him because he didn't want to go somewhere where they had an established starter. I don't know how accurate those reports are or aren't. I'm with you, though, but I get.
- [31:25]
Paulie
That Lamar Jackson, he didn't want to go to the Ravens because they have an established starter. That's Lamar Jackson with Geno Smith and the Raiders and Tom Brady. That, to me, is a great. That would have been a great landing.
- [31:36]
Dan Patrick
Spot, especially with how Geno Smith has struggled this year.
- [31:42]
Paulie
Yeah.
- [31:42]
Dan Patrick
Which is one of the interesting things about the Raiders is I think they brought in Pete Carroll and Geno Smith to kind of change the culture. Right. And to get a winning culture and to be competitive. But they're not competitive, and yet they're not really playing their young guys yet either, because I still think Pete Carroll's trying to flip the culture. Both these teams are in really, really fascinating position.
- [32:10]
Paulie
Is Pete Carroll coaching for his job this year?
- [32:14]
Dan Patrick
Well, I would imagine that there, everything's on the table for the Raiders at the end of this year, you know, quarterback, head coach. Because if you brought in Pete Carroll for credibility and to right the ship, I don't think that they had delusions of grandeur of being a playoff team this year, but they had been so down for so long. I think the goal was with Gino and Pete, we can be a 7, 8 win team and start to build this thing the right way and change the culture here. And unfortunately, for a number of different reasons, it just, it hasn't happened for him.
- [32:56]
Paulie
Here's another thing I don't understand. I love Dash and Genti. I love the pick, but I love the pick. When I have a good offensive line, I want to have a good offensive line first before I draft a running back.
- [33:08]
Dan Patrick
Well, so there's a couple things there. Number one is their offensive line is not good. Their best player, Colton Miller's hurt. Probably their second most talented. Jpj, the right guard, he's hurt. You know, watching them against the Cowboys Monday night, I'm not sure they have a guy starting Dan that is an average starter right now in the NFL. I mean, maybe Parm at left guard or Glaze at right tackle. The other thing that's interesting though, about Genty and I, you know, I. Sunday night I called the Lions Eagles game for Westwood One and I'm watching that game and I'm thinking about Genty. You know, usually if you're like a top 15 pick as a running back, it's Saquon Bijan Robinson, Jameer Gibbs, like, you are electric. I mean, when you. Dan, you can feel when Jameer Gibbs has the ball, he's operating a different speed than anybody else out there. That's not really Genty. Genty is like an incredible tackle breaker and making people miss. But he's not. He's not operating in a different speed out there. He doesn't have that level of explosiveness, which I think makes him interesting as a sixth overall pick.
- [34:20]
Paulie
Yeah, the Raiders are a mess right now. Pro Football Focus has that offensive line ranked 31st. We're talking to Ross Tucker, the Ross Tucker Football podcast, available on social media at Ross Tucker, NFL he'll be on the call for the Raiders and the Cleveland Browns. You got the Bills and the Texans tonight. This is kind of interesting with that great defense by the Texans. I don't know how good the Bills are. I don't know how good the Texans are either. Texans are 5 and 5. No. CJ so how do you handicap this, that the Bills are favored by five and a half at the Texans against one of the best defenses in the NFL?
- [34:54]
Dan Patrick
Well, I think the two best. Well, I will say the three best defenses right now would be the Browns, the Texans, and the way the Eagles have played these last two games, holding both the packers and Lions under double digits. But the Texans edge, rushers, corners, they are elite. This is a major, major challenge for the Bills. And I know that Josh Allen had six touchdowns on Sunday against the Bucks, but he also had two pretty bad interceptions. And so this is one where the Bills might have to win it ugly. They might have to win it with defense. They might have to kind of win it 19, 16, 16, 13. And that's okay. You know that that works as well.
- [35:35]
Paulie
Buffalo's defense is spotty, though.
- [35:38]
Dan Patrick
Start. He's won the first two and he's kind of saved the Texan season. If they lost either one of those, they would probably be done, but they are still very much alive because Davis Mills has done what you want a backup quarterback to do, which is come in and not be the reason why the team loses the game.
- [35:57]
Paulie
Buffalo's defense, yikes.
- [36:00]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, they've lost some guys at Oliver, Michael Hoyt that I think they were really counting on. You know, it's wild because right now, Dan, you know, it's looking like the Bills and Chiefs, maybe even the Ravens, are going to be wild cards. But what are people really going to predict if it's the Chiefs in a wild card game at New England or at Indy or at Denver? I mean, we just had it Sunday. The five and five Chiefs were three and a half point favorites on the road against the nine and two Broncos. So what they're telling you is, yeah, we know there's this group of teams at the top that have these 9 and 2, 8 and 2 records and we know where the Bills, Ravens and Chiefs are. But the betting public or the pros or whoever, when it really comes down to it in the playoffs, people are still going to believe that Daniel Jones and May and and those guys, Bo Nix, will beat Josh Allen, Lamar and Mahomes in the playoffs when they see. I don't think there's gonna be a ton of people picking those home favorites in those playoff games.
- [37:10]
Paulie
What do you think your opinion is going to be if the Cowboys happen to beat the Eagles this Sunday?
- [37:18]
Dan Patrick
I think if the Cowboys beat the Eagles, my opinion will be, I will say I was a little bit wrong about Jerry Jones trading for Quinn and Williams. I did not think it made a whole lot of sense to make that move in the middle of what felt like a lost season. But coming off the win against the Raiders, where they looked a lot better on that side of the ball, if they now beat the Eagles and they win back to back and they're very much in the playoff mix for the rest of the season, then I'll tip my cap to Jerry Jones and I'll say kudos to him for not giving up on the season and letting those guys have a chance to really make a run at this thing. Because that offense with that O line and Dak and those receivers, they have a puncher's chance in any game they play. So if the defense can just be average and they were better than average Monday night in Vegas, if the defense could just be average and they get to the playoffs, they could be a scary out for somebody.
- [38:20]
Paulie
You know, I was just thinking about this. Is Miles Garrett going to be the defensive version of Joe Thomas in Cleveland where first ballot hall of Famer but has nothing to show in his resume?
- [38:32]
Dan Patrick
Yes. Yeah, I mean, he already is. You know, think about this. I think right now and they might even be the betting favorites, but I think right now Myles Garrett's the defensive player of the year. Clearly. I think Carson Swishinger, the rookie linebacker, is the defensive rookie of the year. They're 2 and 8. I mean the defensive player of the year and defensive rookie of the year on a 2 and 8 team. I can't begin to explain, Dan, how crazy. What Miles Garrett's doing is for two reasons. Number one, they never have a lead. You know, he, he's never able to just tee off for the whole fourth quarter because they have a two score lead. You know, the other team's throwing it. He, these are sacks in regular down and distance. He doesn't have a chance to just pin his ears back. Secondly, the entire week, the Raiders, this week, all they're talking about is we're not going to let Miles beat us. We're not going to let it be Miles. We're going to chip, we're going to slide to him. We're going to bring the tight end over. We're going to have a running back b gap like the whole. For him to do what he does every week when I know for a fact, having been a former offensive lineman, that he's the guy that you talk about and game plan and say we're not going to let him ruin the game and yet he still ruins games is unbelievably impressive.
- [39:59]
Paulie
Safe travels. Always great to talk to you, buddy. Thank you, Ross.
- [40:01]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, maybe I'll wave as our planes cross tomorrow as I'm flying to Vegas. You guys are flying back. I'll wave you guys.
- [40:08]
Paulie
Ross Tucker, CBS Sports, Westwood One NFL college football analyst and he'll be on the call for the Browns and the Raiders. That's a one o' clock start here in Las Vegas, which I find interesting because it is a game that I think people go out of their way to watch. Usually put your great game. You can't put that game at 4:30. Can't do that. But 1 o'. Clock, that might be the 1 o'. Clock. Must see NFL game. We'll take a break. Our play of the day is up next. Fox Sports radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of our shows@foxsportsradio.com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to listen live. Oh my God.

We're coming back to Chicago. We're coming back home. The Cardiac Bulls do it again.
- [41:23]

- [41:51]
Todd
And the announcer said put some respect on his name. Is there a rampant dismissal of Nicola, would you say over the past five years?
- [41:58]
Paulie
I don't know if there's been an anti.
- [42:00]
Todd
Yeah.
- [42:01]
Paulie
Campaign there. Call him out. Rampant disrespect. Yes. Of that name. Take that. What is the poll question? Satan. I kind of blew by that with we got started and I. I forgot to get a poll question for the first. Well, we got one here from Paul. Which sport do you understand the least? F1. Rugby, cricket.
- [42:19]
Dan Patrick
Other.
- [42:21]
Todd
Like European type sports that we see and watch. Like I've watched cricket before and I seem to enjoy myself when I'm watching, but I really don't understand the rules.
- [42:30]
Paulie
Well, what's there to understand about Formula one?
- [42:32]
Todd
I think there's a lot of nuances of the car that I don't really. They blow by me when I watch the races. They're like. Well, you're talking about the different gearboxes.
- [42:41]
Paulie
Yeah, but they do that with nascar.
- [42:43]
Todd
Yeah. I think I grew up on NASCAR a little bit. Just. It's almost like a different language with F1.mm cricket.
- [42:50]
Paulie
I don't understand, but it seems like they go on and on and on. Like, doesn't a match go for days? I think.
- [42:56]
Todd
I think so.
- [42:58]
Paulie
India and Australia seem to be really good. New Zealand I think, are really good with that sport. Those are the powerhouses. I think so. Yeah. I think so. Yes.
- [43:06]
Todd
Paul, here's something I don't understand. I like nascar. And when it rains, they don't drive.
- [43:11]
Paulie
They.
- [43:12]
Todd
They park the car soft. But F1, if it's drizzling on the track, they'll. They'll.
- [43:16]
Paulie
They'll play the Ava. They'll play. They'll play the ball. They'll drive. Yeah, they had a lot of rain here in Vegas, and it could. I think the weather's supposed to be nice on Saturday and Sunday, but it would be chilly for Vegas standards. But they were talking about how much rain they've had, and they're going to be driving on the streets here, which is. That's what's great to see, because the. The city kind of envelops. It becomes the sport. And you could see, you know, Vegas and different places around. Around the world that they go to. Yes, Todd. Which is more of a concern if you're not driving, like, say, nascar because it's slippery and can further cause accidents. Or those dawn windshield wipers where it's really distracting to see the other cars and see what's in front of you with that line going across. They don't. I don't think they have windshield. Wow. So how does it work that if it's pouring rain on your windshield, it just magically dissipates?
- [44:06]
Todd
They don't race.
- [44:07]
Paulie
NASCAR doesn't, but for F1, we're saying they do. So rain would do the same thing to an F1 windshield. So, like, how distracting would that be going 200 miles an hour with windshield wipers going back and forth?
- [44:17]
Todd
The F1 cars don't really have windshields. They have this little wind thing that's in front. It's about 4 inches tall.
- [44:24]
Paulie
Yeah.
- [44:24]
Todd
There's a car right there.
- [44:25]
Paulie
There's a car right over here. You're saying I'm advertising my ignorance right now about Formula one again? There's no.
- [44:30]
Dan Patrick
There's no shield at all. It's just an open space.
- [44:32]
Paulie
There's a car right over here. I should probably take a look at that. I walked right by it several times. So there's no issues with windshield wipers on Formula One cars. Randy in Pennsylvania. SiriusXM is really good, though. Randy in Pennsylvania joining us on the program. How can you help us, Randy?
- [44:50]
Dan Patrick
God bless, gentlemen. Who covers Formula One better than the Dan Patrick show? Nobody.
- [44:58]
Paulie
But we are trying to learn. We are open, open minded to trying to learn. That's why we're out here doing something a little out of our comfort zone. Randy?
- [45:05]
Dan Patrick
Yes.
- [45:06]
Paulie
No, not at all.
- [45:07]
Dan Patrick
I appreciate that because motorsports is my.
- [45:09]
Paulie
First sport, which is blasphemy, saying that the NFL takes second spot.
- [45:15]
Dan Patrick
But I wanted to call, let you.
- [45:16]
Paulie
Know earlier, before you got out there.
- [45:20]
Dan Patrick
If you think you took enough money.
- [45:22]
Paulie
Double that and take a little more.
- [45:24]
Dan Patrick
It's for the beautiful people. That's not so much for the layman or, you know, the Formula one fan like myself who's only been to a few races, it's a lot of money.
- [45:37]
Paulie
Now. I found that they, this is the third time they've held the race here and I think they realize the prices, tickets and hotel rooms, I think they've modified that. I talked to a person affiliated with the race and said, you know, we learned kind of the, the climate here in Vegas of who's going to come out, what are they going to spend, and they've greatly modified that. So, you know, kudos to Formula One for doing that. But yes, I think when you think Formula one, if you saw the drive to survive, you, you get a sense of who those people are who are coming out here. And I think Vegas wants to let Formula one know and these fans know it's for everybody. But the speeds that you get up to on regular roads that you'll be streets that you would be driving on or riding in a car on, that's what's amazing. And when you go from a couple hundred miles an hour and then you have to go into a turn and you only have a certain amount of time to get to that turn, they talk about the G forces on your neck. Like what? You know, there's a lot of different things that you think factor into that. But talking to a Formula one former driver and saying that that is what you know, at the end of the race, it's like you could use a neck massage.
- [46:55]
Todd
Yes, Paulie, Top speed in Vegas this weekend, 229 miles per hour. I think the Las Vegas NASCAR track, which is the fastest or one of the fastest, they may get to 211, 212.
- [47:08]
Paulie
They laugh at NASCAR speeds, I'm guessing blowing by them. Yeah. I wonder, you know, there's great respect for anybody who gets behind a wheel. You know, I don't care if it's Formula one NASCAR cart, any of that. But I do like when they get into others, you know, the somebody else's car, just to get that feeling what that's like. Nicole Briscoe from the Mothership. She covers Formula One. She'll join us here. And Frank Caliendo as well, will stop by hour two on the way after this.
