The Dan Patrick Show – Episode Summary: Hour 2 with Albert Breer, Best & Worst of the Weekend

Release Date: July 21, 2025

Introduction to Hour 2

At the commencement of Hour 2, host Dan Patrick welcomes listeners back to the show, setting the stage for a lively discussion on the best and worst moments of the past weekend. Dan introduces Albert Breer, renowned as the “Monday Morning Quarterback” and a senior NFL reporter, who joins the conversation to provide expert insights on recent NFL developments.

Poll Discussions: Teal or Not Teal? [04:08]

The show kicks off with a review of the previous hour’s poll questions:

• Scotty Scheffler’s Popularity: Approximately 91% of the audience still rates Scheffler as awesome, indicating strong support for the reluctant golf superstar.

• Teal as a Color: The audience response is evenly split, with 55% stating that teal is not overrated. Dan reminisces about the 90s era when teams like the Charlotte Hornets popularized teal in their uniforms, sparking a significant merchandise boom.

Uniform Color Trends and Their Impact [06:00]

Co-hosts Paul Pabst and Olivia Carville delve into the evolution of team uniform colors, particularly focusing on the rise and fall of teal in sports:

• Historical Perspective: Paul explains how the adoption of teal by teams like the Dolphins, Hornets, and Mavericks in the late 80s and 90s led to a surge in merchandise sales. He notes, “Teal caught on in the 90s and 2000s,” highlighting its temporary dominance.

• Modern Trends: Olivia observes that while neon and bright colors have seen a resurgence, traditional powerhouses like Penn State and Ohio State remain steadfast with their classic color schemes. Dan adds, “I like when schools like Texas Longhorns stay true to their colors,” emphasizing the balance between tradition and innovation in team branding.

Scotty Scheffler’s Persona vs. Performance [09:00]

The conversation shifts to Scotty Scheffler’s golfing prowess juxtaposed with his subdued personality:

• Dan reflects on Scheffler’s calm demeanor on the course, quoting Paul Pabst: “His calm personality, it's not going to change because it's built winning golf for him.”

• Co-hosts discuss the broader trend of athletes being evaluated not just on their performance but also on their public personas. Dan muses, “We seem to prefer athletes with more personality, sometimes at the expense of pure skill.”

Football Focus: T.J. Watt and Steelers’ Strategy [25:03]

Albert Breer joins the discussion, providing an in-depth analysis of the ongoing T.J. Watt contract negotiations with the Pittsburgh Steelers:

• Steelers’ Dilemma: Albert explains the complexities of the deal, noting, “The fast escalation of numbers at so many different positions has made teams a little queasy,” pointing out the difficulty in matching Watt’s value with the team’s salary cap constraints.

• Market Trends: He further highlights how recent contracts, such as Miles Garrett’s, have influenced the market, making player valuations soar. Albert states, “This deal on the edge rusher market was Miles Garrett, which pushed the number from 34 to 40, a big jump.”

Nick Saban’s Potential Return to the NFL [28:50]

The topic shifts to speculation about Nick Saban possibly returning to NFL coaching:

• Feasibility: Albert discusses the logistical challenges, comparing the situation to other high-profile coaches. “Hiring either of those guys is complicated,” he explains, considering factors like team needs and organizational fit.

• Impact: Dan reflects on Saban’s legacy, pondering how his coaching style might translate to the professional level. He muses, “It would be interesting to see how he would apply his strategies to the NFL.”

NFL Commanders’ Name Change Pressure [32:44]

Dan raises concerns about the Washington Commanders facing pressure from the President to revert to their previous nickname:

• Organizational Stance: Albert asserts, “We haven’t even discussed that. That’s not something we would bring up,” indicating the team’s reluctance to comply with external pressures.

• Long-Term Implications: The discussion touches on the potential backlash and recurring controversies if the name is changed, with Dan questioning the strategic motives behind such demands.

NFL Players Association Challenges [39:09]

Albert provides insights into the current turmoil within the NFL Players Association (NFLPA):

• Internal Struggles: He describes the union’s efforts to reinvent itself amidst leadership changes and internal disagreements, stating, “This becomes a seminal moment for them.”

• Future Prospects: Dan inquires about the implications for football fans, to which Albert responds, “The union hits the pause button while it’s sorting its own house,” highlighting uncertainty around future negotiations and league operations.

Best and Worst of the Weekend [13:28 & 47:12]

The segment features listener calls discussing their best and worst moments:

• Bob Crawford’s Picks [47:27]:

  • Best: The premiere of the Billy Joel HBO documentary, “So It Goes,” which he praises as “two and a half hours of wonderfulness.”
  • Worst: The new Superman movie, expressing disappointment compared to the Christopher Reeve era.

• Olivia Carville’s Picks [49:18]:

  • Best: Damian Lillard’s decision to return to the Portland Trail Blazers, seeing it as the right move.
  • Worst: WNBA guard Courtney Williams’ awkward interaction with DJ Diplo at a post-game event, where she requested more pop music over EDM, which Olivia found “hilarious.”

Celebrity Family Feud and Ratings Discussion [51:00]

The hosts reminisce about their appearance on Celebrity Family Feud, celebrating their show achieving the “biggest ratings in four years” and contemplating a rematch against popular shows like The Rich Eisen Show or NBA programs. They express enthusiasm about potentially facing high-profile teams, stating, “We went against inside the NBA. That’d be fantastic.”

Conclusion

As the episode wraps up, Dan Patrick teases upcoming segments with guest Rich Lerner from the Open Championship, promising further discussions on Scotty Scheffler’s greatness and comparisons to legends like Tiger Woods. The hosts encourage listeners to continue engaging through phone calls and social media.

He also was demanding that the Cleveland Guardians would go back to their previous nickname. They've think said publicly that they are not going to do that. Hour two poll question Seaton well, from.

[Olivia Carville]

Hour one we had up there for the PGA Tour, Scotty Scheffler is awesome or an issue. Right now we've got about 91% holding on to awesome. So that's pretty great. And then we also just put up there is teal overrated as a color? Yes or no. Right now, 55% of the audience saying no, teal is not overrated as a color. It's properly rated.

[Dan Patrick]

There was a time in sports where it felt like you had to have teal in your uniform. The old oh God, it's Charlotte Hornets. Marvin claims the best NBA uniform when they went with the teal with Larry Johnson. Grandmama. Yes, Marvin. Man, that that Charlotte Hornets starter jacket was hotter than fish grease. Everybody had one. Maybe it's an age thing. Maybe if you're in my era, the Charlotte Hornets, look, they weren't the world's best team, but they were the world's most stylish team. Well, I grew up in an era where we didn't really look at the uniforms and say, okay, I'll like that team because of their uniform. You kind of just like the team. I think maybe some of these teams weren't that good, or we were trying to attract younger audience. We're like, look at. Look at the pretty colors on that team. Now, that team was interesting and fun to watch, but I. I didn't fall in love with you like, you love the Toronto Blue Jays logo just because you love the logo. Right. And Otis Nixon. Oh, Otis Nixon. Yeah, of course. I put those two together. Yes, Paul.

[Paul Pabst]

I did a bit of teal research, and the Dolphins have had teal forever, but no one really tried it until the late 80s. 1988, the Hornets went teal and purple, and it quickly soared to the top of the NBA merchandise sales. Then the fallout from that hockey did it. The San Jose Sharks, the Mighty Ducks, the Vancouver Grizzlies, of course, did it. That got some pretty good praise. The Diamondbacks did teal. The Mariners did some teal. Even the Pistons, when they did those jerseys with the Grant Hill, there was a lot of teal in those as well. Teal caught on in the 90s and 2000s. Jaguars.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, what is the. What's. What's the new color? Is there a. You got to have this in your uniform, Marvin, since you. You and Paulie are the uniform police. Yeah, that's how we live. I'm trying to think. I got to give it a little more research because. Gotta look. You had to have black in your uniform. There. There was a pretty good time frame where black was. Or your alternative uniforms. Yes, Paul.

[Paul Pabst]

Yeah, I'm reading that, too. Back in the. Just before this, when NWA got big black alternate uniforms caught on as well. With the Raiders soaring to the top of the merch charts, a lot of people credit nwa.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah, Seaton, that White Sox hat was a big deal, too. The one that just said socks, the black hat, white lettering. I feel like neon colors are still having a little bit of a moment.

[Dan Patrick]

Neon?

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah. Some of those. Like, more bright fluorescent colors. Maybe. Maybe you credit Oregon a little bit with that. But bright colors, I think, as an alternate uniform especially.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, but there are some schools where you go, wait, what are your official colors? You know, they're. Penn State's always going to be Penn State. Ohio State's not changing. Notre Dame has Changed the, you know, like the, the shine on their helmet. They've had alternate uniform. USC is always us. There's certain schools where you go, I know what I'm Alabama, you know what you're watching there. Whereas other schools, it feels like, hey, how about we maybe give you a shiny object to notice over here so you're not noticing the team is not very good. And I'm all in on some of these smaller schools that have really interesting helmets. And they've come a long way with how those helmets look and how they shine and, you know, the, the definition that you have with them designs that are on the helmet. I'm all in on that. It just, I like when school like Texas Longhorns. That's Texas. They don't need alternative. When are we, are we going to do that with, you know, the blue bloods? Oregon did it and, and has done it and they've done it really well. But some of these schools, you go, what, what are your official school colors? Yes, Paul.

[Paul Pabst]

Yeah, Going back to Oregon about 20 years ago, right around the Joey Harrington era at quarterback when they started having rotating uniforms. Obviously partnering with Nike last year, Oregon football, I have them wearing eight different uniform options over the course of 12 games. They have five base uniforms. They don't even have like a home and away. They have five different rotating base uniforms. But the fallout from Nike and Oregon in 2005, 6, 7, everyone started doing it. Everybody started doing it. Virginia Tech, everybody.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, but you didn't. Ohio State didn't do it, did they?

[Paul Pabst]

They have. They have. Not as often. They stay true to their colors.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, you're right.

[Paul Pabst]

But they have. Sometimes they'll do a white on white.

[Dan Patrick]

Hasn't USC hasn't done it, though?

[Unknown]

Not a lot.

[Dan Patrick]

Penn State hasn't done it. Texas hasn't done it. Alabama hasn't done it. Yeah, that's right. I remember seeing an alternate with Ohio State. All right, so it's hour two on the program. Let's change the poll question the Scottie Scheffler one. Seaton. Let's go with something in hour two.

[Olivia Carville]

Paul sent this one over. Better All Star Weekend. And NBA or mlb?

[Dan Patrick]

Mlb. Yeah, it's not even close. You were in Indiana and Caitlin Clark didn't play. So are we talking NBA or wba?

[Olivia Carville]

NBA.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, the NBA. Oh, okay. I thought you're talking wnba, because that was kind of a no show as far as no Caitlin Clark. And it's in Indiana. NBA. Well, I'm not big on the NBA All Star game, so. Yeah, Major League Baseball had something interesting to it and he had a dramatic finish. Yes, absolutely. You know who we, we spent way too much time talking about Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. You know who it feels like? Does it like Caitlin Clark, and that's Kelsey Plum. I don't even think she tries to disguise it anymore. She will take a jab step with Caitlin Clark all the time. And, and the only thing I could think of is Kelsey played at the University of Washington. She scored 3,500 points. And I, I don't want to throw a big blanket over this, but nobody really cared nationally about it. Locally, it was a big deal. She a wonderful player, been very successful in the wnba. Caitlin Clark comes along and all of a sudden people care about how many points she has. And I think Kelsey's like, what about me? It's like, oh, yeah, you had a lot of points there, but you didn't score them the way she does. But the WNBA and their contract negotiations going on, man, there's a lot of drama, A lot of drama going on there. Yes, Marvin, if you're the wnba, you know what? We're just going to keep it in Indianapolis until Caitlin Clark plays. The ticket prices went down 50% when people found out she wasn't playing. Yeah, yeah. And then she was going to be in the three point shooting contest as well. Let me get a couple of phone calls in here. David in Phoenix joining us. Hi, David. What's on your mind today? Hey, good morning, Dan. I got a stat of the day for you. Going into last weekend, my Pittsburgh Pirates had a combined record of 10,878 wins and 10,878 losses since then the weekend they lost three in a row and are under.500 for the first time since 1903. This is the stat. I don't know if it's true or not, but I'm just going to take your word. Stat of the day, brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show. Boy, that would be the. The ultimate. We're an average franchise with the same number of wins, same number of losses in your entire history. Zach in Knoxville. Hi, Zach. What's on your mind today?

[Olivia Carville]

Adp, thanks for taking my call. Do a little best and worst of.

[Dan Patrick]

Last week since you guys were gone. Best of last week was Shane Gillis being able to say what he said.

[Olivia Carville]

On a Disney broadcast. And worst was you guys being gone.

[Dan Patrick]

And just to sum up Scotty Scheffler a little bit, I think Jordan, speak.

[Olivia Carville]

You know he kind of said it.

[Dan Patrick]

Best when he just kind of goes home and does his thing. Then when it's time to go to work, he goes to work. He's seen and not heard.

[Olivia Carville]

And my question for you is, do.

[Dan Patrick]

You think, without being too political, do you think our political landscape now, it's.

[Olivia Carville]

Kind of shaped how we consume our.

[Dan Patrick]

Athletes, where louder is better and maybe substance isn't as appreciated? Oh, I don't know. You know, I don't break it down that way, Zach, and I'm going to guess a lot of people do. Thanks for the phone calls. I just look at Scotty Scheffler and say, this is who he is. Nobody ever said, boy, Tom Watson's great, but does he have personality? Nick Faldo didn't have personality when he played, but he was great. I think the hard part is being great. It's the other part that I think we expect with our athletes, our celebrities. I don't know. Does somebody say, you know, Tom Cruise, great actor, but does he have a personality? Like, we just pick and choose with individuals like that? I have no idea. But it doesn't matter. I'm not. I'm not looking for something more. I think there's so much style over substance that in. In all walks of life, and I think that that clouds our judgment. Sometimes you'll go, boy, that artist is awesome. Are they a good singer? No, no, not really. But, man, they got, you know, social media and, you know, they're. They're out and about all the time. Yes.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah. I think with music, there's pop stars and then there's artists. Right. Or musicians. I think, you know, there. There is a such thing, too, as too much personality. Like you. You said Tom Cruise, right? Remember he did that interview with Oprah, and he stood up on the couch and everybody was kind of like, man, I don't know. That dude's a little weird now. I wonder if that hurt his movies to some degree. You kind of took a dip there for a little bit, stepped back for a while, and you're like, man, I kind of wish I knew less about Tom Cruise.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, but I don't know. Do you do that with artists? Like, I don't know if you. You say, boy, that guy is great at what he does, but he doesn't have a personality. It's almost like we want that more than we do the actual substance. It's like, man, he's entertaining. Yeah, Paul.

[Paul Pabst]

And if you listen to the announcers on the Golf Channel, they're talking about Scotty Shefford all weekend. His calm demeanor, they say, is his single biggest strength. He's so calm during the tense moments a Sunday of a Masters or US Open. And by him being almost sedate out there on the course, he doesn't make any mistakes. So his calm personality, it's not going to change because it's built winning golf for him.

[Dan Patrick]

Rickie Fowler is more popular than Scottie Scheffler, but Ricky hasn't won anything. He's, he's Rickie Fowler. Every time you see him, you're like, oh, Ricky Fowler. Yeah. See, I think that's kind of the.

[Olivia Carville]

Memory of Ricky Fowler.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. But it feels like it's still there even when I'm watching this weekend. They're like, oh, look at Ricky Fowler on the leaderboard. Like, yep, there he is. And there he goes. But it still feels like, you know, he, he's a draw. Yeah, he hasn't had that moment. I think he won in Detroit a couple of years ago. Yes, Todd, I don't need someone to.

[Bob Crawford]

Break a club or yell at their caddy or thr of fit, you know, jump in the water. But a fist pump or some kind of excitement when you hit a good shot, even though you're hitting all these great shots in recent years and blowing out way the competition, that wouldn't be a terrible thing. Unless he thinks that's going to throw off his concentration by celebrating a great shot. Could we get a little emotion on the positive side?

[Dan Patrick]

But he, he doesn't do that. I mean, so robotic.

[Bob Crawford]

It's just very odd when you hit a great shot, not to get excited. Just like a natural instinct you would think a person would have.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, okay. It's like it's not going to happen. Just letting you know, not going to happen. He's going to be this way. Probably wire to wire. All right, we'll take a break. We'll talk some football. Albert Breer, the Monday morning quarterback, will join us. We will talk a little bit more about the greatness of Scheffler and at what point do you allow the comparison to happen with him in Tiger Woods? Rich Lerner from Golf Channel will join us from Northern Ireland coming up in an hour from now. Take a break. Back after this with Albert Breer. Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick show, weekdays at 9am Eastern, 6am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. Hey, we're Covino and Rich, Fox Sports.

[Olivia Carville]

You see, we're having so much fun in our two hour show. We never get to everything honestly, because this guy is over promising things we never have time for. Yeah, you blubber lips blaming me.

So what happened to Chappaquiddick? Well, it really depends on who you talk to.

[Bob Crawford]

There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond and.

[Sarah Spain]

Left a woman behind to drown. There's a famous headline, I think, in the New York Daily News. It's teddy Escapes Blonde drowns. And in a strange way, right, that sort of tells you the story really became about Ted's political future, Ted's political hopes. Will Ted become President?

[Bob Crawford]

Chappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control.

[Sarah Spain]

And he's not the only Kennedy to survive a scandal.

[Bob Crawford]

The Kennedys have lived through disgrace, affairs, violence, you name it.

[Dan Patrick]

So is there a curse?

[Bob Crawford]

Every week we go behind the headlines and beyond the drama of America's royal family.

[Bob Crawford]

American history is full of wise people.

[Dan Patrick]

Walt woman said something like, you know, 99.99% of war is diarrhea and 1% is glory.

[Sarah Spain]

Those Founding Fathers were gossipy AF, and they love to cut each other down.

[Bob Crawford]

I'm Bob Crawford, host of American History Hotline, the show where you send us your questions about American history. And I find the answers, including the nuggets of wisdom our history has to offer.

[Unknown]

Hamilton pauses, and then he says, the greatest man that ever lived was Julius Caesar. And Jefferson writes in his diary, this proves that Hamilton is for a dictator based on corruption.

[Dan Patrick]

My favorite line was what Neil Armstrong said. It would have been harder to fake it than to do it.

In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI fueled nightmare.

[Dan Patrick]

Someone was posting photos.

[Olivia Carville]

It was just me naked.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, not me, but me with someone.

[Olivia Carville]

Else'S body parts on my body that.

[Dan Patrick]

Looked exactly like my own.

[Margie Murphy]

I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York. But reporting the series took us through the darkest corners of the Internet and to the front lines of a global battle against deepfake pornography.

[Sarah Spain]

This should be illegal, but what is this?

[Margie Murphy]

This is a story about a technology that's moving faster than the law and about vigilantes trying to see stem the tide. I'm Margie Murphy. And I'm Olivia Carville.

More phone calls coming up. What you saw that you like and didn't like from the weekend, Best and worst of the weekend. He's Albert Brear, the Monday morning quarterback and senior NFL reporter. Back on the program. I'm. Let me start with the T.J. watt situation because it's something that we've talked about, and I kept wondering, what are the Steelers waiting for? I guess if you're all in with Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf, and then you have to be all in on TJ Watt. So why did it take such a long time to get this deal done?

[Unknown]

Well, so, like, first of all, like, what you're laying out is exactly why I never thought there was any. I mean, you can put TJ Watt and trade in a tweet and it'll probably get a lot of engagement. But that was never on the radar. I mean, it. It would be. It would fly in the face of everything that the Steelers have done, which ostensibly this offseason is to try to make the Most of what T.J. watt has left, you know, and going and getting older players that are more his peers, like Aaron Rodgers and Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay. So the idea he wasn't going to be a Steeler in 2025, as much as people like to throw those things around, was never on anyone's radar. As for why it took so long, I just think that there's this fast escalation of numbers at so many different positions now that's probably made teams a little queasy. And I think for some teams, and not saying the Steelers specifically, but for some teams, it's almost like they want to see proof that that that, that, that this one deal over here is not just an outlier. Right. Like that there are other deals that are going to come in underneath it. So obviously that deal on the edge rusher market was Miles Garrett, which pushed the number from 34, which is where Nick Bosa was, to 40, which is a big jump. But after Myles Garrett gets done, you have Daniel Hunter doing an extension and he's an older player that was in the mid-30s. Right. That deal on an average per year basis was in the mid-30s. And then you see Max Crosby on his, you know, on his fourth contract. I think doing a deal wasn't. That was in that range as well. And so, you know, at that point, not only do you have, you know, some data points that the T.J. watt deal isn't an out, isn't a complete. Or that the Mike. That the Miles Garrett deal isn't a complete outlier, you also have some older players doing deals that are in that range. And so I think that's where it sort of became an inevitability that the, the Steelers were going to have to go that extra mile to get them done. And the numbers are very real. This isn't one of those where the, the initial, the initial report is complete garbage and, and the actual deal is, is much more reasonable. This was, this was a deal, this was a deal in the 40s and you know, obviously now that's going to affect other guys, you know, like Trey Hendrickson and Micah Parsons.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I wonder about that. That, you know, these teams keep waiting and waiting and then it's. It's same thing, you know, with the Cowboys, with Dak Prescott, you're like, you're waiting and you're waiting. Do you need to wait? Michael Parsons? Waiting. Waiting. I, I just don't understand the logic, but these are billionaires and I don't understand their logic, so help me out.

[Unknown]

The Eagles are a good example.

[Dan Patrick]

Jones is waiting for.

[Unknown]

Yeah, I mean, Dan, aren't the Eagles a great example, right, like, of doing it the other way? I mean, they got Devonte Smith done early. That deal looks very reasonable. They've kept redoing A.J. brown's deal. You know, they took advantage of Saquon Barkley in a depressed running back market. Like there are teams that have, have moved faster on these things, you know, and so I'm with you 100% on that. On where like the, the waiting for. Waiting to, to do a deal usually just costs you money.

[Dan Patrick]

Explain this where it. And once again, the timing of a story coming out is really important of how big it is or how small it is. The. Nick Saban may come back to coaching. And you had, you know, his, one of his former quarterbacks saying he had a good source here, Paul Feinbaum said this. Now, like, what is this leading to with Nick Saban?

[Unknown]

So I, I would say that, like, maybe there's an itch that he wants to scratch or he wants to at least explore scratching in the NFL. You know, I, I know. I think Urban Meyer was on the air somewhere. I think he was. He was on with Colin or someone like that. Like, and, and he, he said something along the lines of, like, I, he's like, I. Like, he's like, I. I don't think I'll do it in college because of all of the reasons that he left college football in the first place, but I could see him doing it in the NFL, right? Like, and so, you know, I think the possibility exists that maybe he looks at it and says, if there is a situation where I can win quickly, where there's a quarterback, I don't feel completely satisfied with what happened in Miami 20 years ago. And he, every time he talks about the NFL, he'll bring up the Miami doctors and, and their assessment. A breeze. And if you remember Dan, I mean, people were picking them to go to the Super bowl in 2006, which was his last year in Miami. And obviously the Culpepper thing went the wrong way and the breeze thing went the right way in New Orleans. And so there's always been that question lingering out there. If the doctors had cleared Drew Brees in Miami, he would have signed there. What would it have become? Would Nick Saban have ever gotten to Alabama? So the same way we've always asked those questions, does he ask that question of himself? Especially when he's looking at it and saying the college, you know, the college game's a little too complicated right now. There are a lot of elements that I just don't want to deal with. But if I go to the NFL, I can just focus on coaching football. And if I have a veteran team with an established quarterback, I could maybe step in and be a difference maker. Because I don't think anybody. I don't think anybody. Dan thought coming out of his two years in Miami that he wasn't a good enough coach to coach the NFL. Like, he was fine as a coach. It was the program, you know, and it was, it was, it was that he couldn't win at a high enough level, quick enough to sell the players on what was a Very demanding program, but he's adjusted in a lot of ways over the years. So it'd be interesting to see how he would apply that to the NFL. I don't know, like, what his appetite is for it right now, but I certainly think that if he made himself available, there would probably be a team or two out there that would be interested in looking at bringing him in here and whatever it is, five or six months from now.

[Dan Patrick]

More likely to coach in the NFL again. Bill Belichick or Nick Saban?

[Unknown]

I'd say Bill just because I think. I think Bill would jump at the opportunity. Well, see, that's hard because I, I think. I think what's happened over the last year has, is sort of damaged Bill to some degree. Do I think he still has a desire to coach in the NFL? I do. I don't know that. I'm not certain how much Nick would want to coach in the NFL. I feel pretty strongly that Bill would like to take another swing at coaching in the NFL. So just by fault, by default, for that reason, I would say Bill, but I think hiring either of those guys is complicated. It's like almost like I've compared it to. It's almost like when you. When Tom Brady was a free agent or when Aaron Rodgers has been out there the last couple of years, it's like, yes, that guy's really good at that job, but for a team to bring that person in, they need to check a lot of boxes. Does the coach or quarterback like the geography of the place? Is the team in a window spot? Does the team have a quarterback? Is the infrastructure of the organization, does it fit that coach or quarterback? Like, I think when you're talking about these older guys, what limits the pool of teams that would be interested in them really is the amount of boxes that you have to check to be in a position where there would be mutual interest. So I think that's what Bill or Nick would be battling if they're looking to get into the NFL. On 26.

[Dan Patrick]

He'S the Monday morning quarterback Albert Brear. How much pressure are the commanders slash the NFL under with the President of the United States saying, I demand that they return to their previous nickname.

[Unknown]

I like as much as this has been talked about, Dan, like, when I've talked to commanders people about this over the last couple of years, I like every time I go to them, it's like, that's not even. We don't. We haven't even discussed that. That's not even something that we would bring up. You know, and so, like, if those conversations are happening in the commander's organization, they are at a very high level and they're being kept very, very quiet. I would be surprised just because I think it would be a reaction to what's happening in the here and the now. And I think it would be asking for another problem to come up in five or ten years after everything that they went through and after all that they endured over the last 20 years in the fight over that name. By going back to the name, I think you would be sort of inviting that same conversation to crop up. Now. Maybe it would be okay at first, but you'd be inviting that conversation to crop back up very, very quickly. And I think there are ways that, you know, that Josh Harris and his ownership group and Adam Peters and Dan Quinn can celebrate their past, can celebrate the history of the franchise, can honor the history of the franchise without going back to that name. And I'm saying that without like presenting my own opinion on it. But I just think, I just think, like, going back to that name might help you in certain ways today, but I think you'd be creating another long term problem for yourself. And I just, I, again, like, I just haven't sensed any appetite within the organization to go there.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, the only reason why it probably doesn't go away, like the Guardians, the Cleveland Guardians, they're not going back to the Indians. I think they've already said they're not. But there's no stadium involved. I know, you know, the commanders, you know, there's a stadium involved in this. And that's why I don't know if the president gets involved in that, gets his hands dirty in saying, hey, I can hold up this stadium situation here.

[Unknown]

And I, and I, and I would like on the flip side to kind of, you know, get behind your point a little bit. I, you know, Donald Trump did that photo op with, with Roger Goodell and Josh Harris in the Oval Office in May to announce the draft is coming to Washington in 2027. So I just kind of thought to myself, that looks funny, like what's going on there? And so I started Googling like, you know, I googled Goodell Trump, I googled Goodell Biden, I googled Goodell Obama, I googled Odell Goodell Bush. And then finally, finally I found a picture of George W. Bush and Paul Tagliebu in 2003 promoting the kickoff game being in Washington. They did a photo op to promote, I think it was the Redskins and the jets at the time playing in the kickoff game. So it had been 22 years since a sitting president did a photo op with an NFL commissioner, and it was right around the time when the Pete Rose stuff was going on in baseball. And so, you know, I, I think there's some speculation that that could be tied to the Justice Department and the ESPN NFL Network merger. And would Donald Trump put his thumb on the scale one way or the other? Like, like, it does seem like he's trying. Like, like, like President Trump is, Is. Is trying to involve himself in sports on a bunch of different levels. And so, you know, I think that's the one reason why you look at this and you say, you know, maybe, maybe that will put some pressure on, on the commanders to do something here, because it is such a big deal getting a new stadium built again. Like, I just, I have a hard time seeing them going back, but, you know, stranger things have happened.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I remember when, you know, I saw that the commissioner of Major League Baseball, Rob Manfred, was meeting with Donald Trump and they were going to talk about Pete Rose. And I said on the air, I said, pete Rose is going to get on the ballot again. He will get on the ballot. Now, have I learned some things behind the scenes with that? I have. I just need. I have to be careful with that because I want a second source on this. But you know what the president was suggesting to the commissioner that, you know, these things could happen. We need to have this happen. And look, it's a victory lap for the President because everybody's going to go, yeah, Pete should be in the hall of Fame. I think we can all agree, should be in the hall of Fame, or at least put him on the ballot if you want to. But that's why I'm just curious of the logic, the angle of this with the commanders and also the guardians. I did want to follow up the NFL Players Association. Yeah, this feels like a mess. Well, it is a mess.

[Unknown]

Disaster.

[Dan Patrick]

But I want to know what, what does this mean for the football fan? Because we can get caught up in all of this, and we know a lot of the people who are involved in this. But if I'm a football fan, why do I care what's going on? The unrest that, you know, people are stepping down with the Players Association.

[Unknown]

Well, I think, first of all, like, as far as big box decisions, like 18 games, it could put a hold on those. Like, anything the players have power over. I think now the union hits the pause button while it's sorting its own house out. You know, the other thing is that, like, you don't know what the approach of the next executive director is. Now, to me, like the executive director of the nflpa, that's one of the most difficult jobs in sports. It's different than the basketball or baseball or hockey union because there are so many more players, and the great majority of players are 22, 23, 24 years old that may or may not make a million dollars in career earnings. And try getting those guys to walk away from a paycheck to make a point, which is the trump card of any union. Right?

[Dan Patrick]

Is.

[Unknown]

Is. Is we're going to take money out of the owner's pockets by staging a work stoppage. So it's a tough group to keep together. It's a tough group to unify. And this is an opportunity now for the players to decide what they want out of their union. And I think this becomes a seminal moment for them. So when we're talking about 18 games, when we're talking about the owners opting out of the broadcast deals at the end of the decade, when we're talking about the next cba, which will be at the beginning of the next decade, this could all look different because I think the football unions operated a certain way, you know, over the last 20 years or so, and this is a chance for the players to reinvent the whole thing. So they're going to decide what's important to them, you know, and I think that they need to take the opportunity to really kind of look in the mirror and. And say, like, what is the function of this union? Where do we want this to go? What are our priorities? You know, there are going to be some complex conversations with, you know, with guys who are on the executive committee with the player reps, and it'll be really interesting to see where that goes. But when you're talking about 18 games, when you're talking about work stoppages, when you're talking about what the broadcast deals look going.

[Dan Patrick]

Look.

[Unknown]

Look like going forward, international, like anything that the players can affect, anything the players can stop from happening. I think now, you know, the pause button is pressed on that stuff. And, you know, I think it's. All of it becomes subject to however the players want to reinvent things.

[Dan Patrick]

Good to chat with you again. Thank you, Albert.

[Unknown]

Awesome. Thanks, db.

[Dan Patrick]

That's Albert Brear, the Monday morning quarterback. By the way, I saw this. Marvin figured you would appreciate this, that the head of the players association, I think he was entertaining people at Magic City in, in Atlanta, and apparently there's some strip club bills that charged to the NFL Players Association. Everybody loves the Wings at Magic City. Yes, Marvin. Yeah, us too. We didn't expense our trip to Magic City. Straight cash, homie. I did give you guys a hundred dollars. I gave you and Mario a hundred dollars to go in and have a good time and make it rain. That was going in about 14 minutes. Yes, Paulie.

[Paul Pabst]

From the reports the past few years, it's been the Players association players.

So what happened at Chappaquiddick? Well, it really depends on who you talk to.

[Bob Crawford]

There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond and.

[Sarah Spain]

Left a woman behind to drown. There's a famous headline, I think in the New York Daily News. It's Teddy Escapes, Blonde drowns. And in a strange way, right, that sort of tells you the story really became about Ted's political future, Ted's political hopes. Will Ted become president?

[Bob Crawford]

Kappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control.

[Sarah Spain]

And he's not the only Kennedy to survive a scandal.

[Bob Crawford]

The Kennedys have lived through disgrace, affairs, violence, you name it.

[Dan Patrick]

Best and worst of the weekend. We've taken your phone calls. We'll continue to do that. Operator Tyler is sitting by. Take your phone calls. And it's time for the Danets to give you their best and worst of the weekend. Todd, I'll start with you.

[Bob Crawford]

I went non sports for both my best and worst. Best of the weekend, Part one of the Billy Joel HBO doc and so it Goes premiered this past Friday night. Two and a half hours of wonderfulness that flew by. Part two this Friday night. Highly recommended. Worst. Perhaps it's partially because I'm stuck in the 70s and 80s but did not like the Superman movie. I still love Christopher Reeve. Don't want to see anyone else's Superman. I did like Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, but did not like the storyline and really didn't enjoy the new Superman movie. That was my worst.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, so thumbs down for Superman.

[Bob Crawford]

Yeah, I didn't love it. I didn't. I was. I don't know what I was expecting, but it was nothing like what I experienced in my younger days with Christopher Reeve.

[Dan Patrick]

I did watch the first episode of Billy Joel. It's really well done. We look at the finished product and you know, he's obviously very successful, but I didn't realize the struggles. I knew some of the financial struggles and he was taken advantage of with some of these record deals like most artists are. But he, he persevered. The fact that he was in LA and he was trying to sound la. He was trying to sound like, you know, James Taylor and Jackson Brown and Joni Mitchell. And he couldn't leave his New York and then went back and just embraced New York. And that's how he became one of the biggest art. They wanted him to be an Elton John. He goes, I don't want to be Elton John. I can't be Elton John. There's only one Elton John. But you know, the fact that that streak of selling out Madison Square Garden, how many, how many times has he sold that place out? I mean, still, it's incredible. And you probably have a lot of. It's like Springsteen. You know, they just keep coming back because it takes them back to a certain time. Feel good music. But Billy Joel on HBO the documentary is, so far, what I've seen. Really well done, Seaton. Best and worst of the weekend.

[Olivia Carville]

My best of the weekend is Damian Lillard going back to Portland. I love that move for him. Tried it in Milwaukee, didn't work out. Go back home. Just feels like the right move to me. My worst of the weekend is Lynx guard Courtney Williams. She was at a WNBA after party, I guess an event for them, and the place had hired Diplo, the dj, who is a big deal. You know, he's. He's a massive name in that world. And she apparently was unaware of who he was and said to him, like, can you stop playing all this EDM and play some more, like, pop music that people know. Talking to one of the biggest DJs in the world, she had absolutely no idea. It was, like, complaining about the music to him. Kind of hilarious.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, I. You know, we had a firsthand experience when we did Celebrity Family Feud, and Diplo was on one of the shows, and he was right there in front of us, and I had to be told that that was Diplo, and I didn't know what to say because I. I'm not familiar with his music. I can't go, you know. You know, the song that I really like, it goes. Yeah, there's no real hits there, I don't think. But, yeah, we had Diplo right in front of us.

[Olivia Carville]

Seaton, he walking around backstage at Celebrity Family Feud. It was more of like, that guy looks really familiar. Who is that guy? You know, I think if he was at a club at two in the morning djing me like, oh, that must be Diplo. That must be the guy.

[Dan Patrick]

I had a better chance recognizing the RuPaul Drag Queen women than I did Diplo when I saw them at Celebrity Family Feud, because those. Those women came in and they were on fire. They were. You knew they were in the room. I had no idea that Diplo was there.

[Paul Pabst]

Yes, Paul, by the way, we got to talk about it. The debut episode of Celebrity Family Feud. Biggest ratings in four years.

[Dan Patrick]

But they didn't show our show. They showed Jennifer Hudson on there. And. What is it, tj? What. What's. What's her name? Taraji. Yeah.

[Paul Pabst]

Either way, we were part of that show.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, it's not just Taraji. Yeah. But it felt like, we were like, they featured act there, and, like, they waited for us. We're the second show there, but then they didn't feature us. Yes. That's what I'm looking for. Thanks, Seaton. Yes.

[Paul Pabst]

Our fan base helped break that record for the ratings, clearly.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, absolutely.

[Paul Pabst]

And I almost guarantee they're going to ask us back.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Would we do a rematch with the.

[Paul Pabst]

Rich Eisen show or take on another show of our choice since we are the defending champs?

[Dan Patrick]

Let me just start. Okay, let me just start with the Rich Eisen show, because, you know, Eisenhower, I'm sure, would like a piece of us. Todd, should we give them a rematch if we're invited back to Celebrity Family?

[Bob Crawford]

Absolutely.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, Seaton?

[Olivia Carville]

Hell, yeah. Absolutely. I want to go against the big dogs. Like, I want to go against Shaq, like, the people that are there. Shaq has been there a dozen times or whatever, and his family crushes. I want to step up. Up a level into, like, the champions category.

[Bob Crawford]

Let's go against inside the NBA. That'd be fantastic.

[Dan Patrick]

Champions League. Yeah. Marvin, should we give Rich Eisen the Rich Eisen Show a rematch? Absolutely. All right. Paul.

[Paul Pabst]

No, we have nothing to prove. That was a nice waxing. I would say. We go against the NBA show. That'd be great. A lot of fun.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I agree. I agree. I think that Eisen has. You know, they. They should be relegated. We should be promoted. We're kind of wrex them. Yeah. And Right. Yeah. Speaking the truth, they didn't step up. They got. They got embarrassed, Humbled. Yes.

[Bob Crawford]

Todd, they led 88 nothing and 88.72 through the first two rounds before we just started exploding.

[Dan Patrick]

I know.

[Paul Pabst]

That's a celebrity Family feud version of Falcons in Atlanta.

[Dan Patrick]

They were the. They were the Falcons, and it was in Atlanta. Yes. Marvin. Yeah.

[Bob Crawford]

We gotta face.

[Dan Patrick]

Either you won an NBA title or an Oscar or a Grammy. We got to move up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I'll take on, you know, Jennifer Hudson if I need to, but, yeah, we. We. I not gonna give them a rematch there, see what John Legend's doing. Sorry, Todd.

[Bob Crawford]

I think it's the right thing to do.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you, Todd. All right, final hour on the way. Rich Lerner will join us. He's over still over at the Open Championship. He'll join us. Talk about the greatness of Scotty Scheffler. More of your phone calls as well. 8, 7 7, 3, DP show operator Tyler. Just sitting by, lonely man, waiting for your phone calls.
