Dan Patrick
You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. It's hour two on this Tuesday Dan and the Danettes Dan Patrick show once again the day before the day before we're at Notre Dame Thursday and Friday. We'll be right outside Legends Pub on campus. Great place. First come first serve. Standing room only. Parking is self directed there. So we look forward to seeing you on both of those days. Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading card of the program. Had a spicy poll question from the first hour of the program that we got too late in the first hour. Seaton, would you update the poll results from the first hour?
Seaton
Is it?
Dan Patrick
That's a spicy poll question. Wait a minute. Well, which one did you ask? It's original.
Seaton
Most Likely to Make the Playoffs.
Dan Patrick
Oh, now, I thought we had another one in there.
Seaton
Did we have another one?
Dan Patrick
Well, I don't know. Maybe I. I thought of a spicy poll question. I was.
Seaton
I was actually really happy now. I was just like, hell, yeah, I came up with a spicy pool.
Dan Patrick
No, that's great. It's good. It's a good poll question. It's fun.
Seaton
We also have. Who was the MVP otn, Most Valuable Player of the Night, Natch.
Dan Patrick
Oh. Oh, okay.
Seaton
Obviously.
Dan Patrick
Okay.
WebMD Health Discovered Announcer
Of course.
Seaton
Blake Snell, Bijan Robinson, Deandre Swift or other.
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Well, Blake Snell went eight innings and gave up one hit. And I said to Paulie, when's the last time we had a complete game? Because it's like an eclipse when you have a complete game. You know, the postseason is littered with these unbelievable pitching performances, but it doesn't happen anymore. And I said to Paulie, I'm going to guess either Madison Bumgardner or Max Scherzer. Those were my two choices. The last complete game we've had in the postseason.
Paulie
Now, I'm going to give you bonus points because both those players in the past decade. Ish. Have done that. Had a complete game in the postseason. But that's not the most recent complete game in the postseason. Here's a hint.
Dan Patrick
Okay.
Paulie
Big time pitcher going to the hall of fame. 2017 was the year he did it.
Dan Patrick
Clayton Kershaw. No. Marvin.
Marvin
Justin Verlander.
Paulie
Justin Verlander. The Houston Astros with air quotes against The Yankees, game two, 2017 ALCS.
Dan Patrick
Yeah. And Blake Snell allowed one base runner and picked him off. So he faced the minimum last time. That happened through eight innings. Don Larson, 1956. And the bullpen tried to give it up again. Thank God for the starters, for the Dodgers, because bullpen is going to make you. You know, it's must see tv. It's not like. And they're going to turn it over. You know, when Mariana Rivera would come in, you go, okay. Foregone conclusion. Like, there's some relievers where you go, this one's. This one's over. The Dodgers starters are 6 and 1 in the postseason, 1.65 ERA. That's why they're here. And last year was the opposite. But they getting great pitching.
Paulie
Yeah, Paulie, you brought this up with Mark Pryor, the Dodgers pitching coach, at least two months ago. I don't think they're going to do it. But Ohtani as a relief pitcher might have been the move here because they clearly have pitchers to Start, but the bullpen's been shaky.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, but he's been part of that starting staff as well, putting up those big numbers. But they get the win. And you have game two coming up tonight as well. Recapping some of the action from last night, all the different things that we saw, I watched Toronto and Seattle, that was on early, got to see that. And a couple of three run homers there. They had three homers. Now they go home and they're up two games to none. Dodgers, as I mentioned, what a wild game. Certainly the, the double play. The first in baseball history where you've had an eight, what, eight, six, two double play. Correct. Matt Liner, Big noon kickoff from Fox, will join us coming up a little bit later on. The Titans fired Brian Callahan in his second season. I'm just surprised that they brought him back. And then all of a sudden you say, hey, we're gonna give you like six games to prove yourself with a rookie quarterback. Goes back to when Mike Vrabel showed up at a press conference when he realized that one of his best players was going to be traded or had been traded. And you could see, right, that was a, that was a real moment. So he shows up and realizes that your, your best receiver on a running team just got traded. And it wasn't that long ago when they had what, 12 wins in a season? Yeah, Paulie.
Paulie
Yeah. Four years ago they had 12 wins. Ryan Tannehill's the quarterback. Derrick Henry, A.J. brown, Jeffrey Simmons on defense. They were a 12 win team.
Dan Patrick
I know, but you had a power struggle reportedly between head coach and gm and Ran Carthon ended up winning that battle. And they, you know, ship brable out and now look at what he's doing with New England. They're in first place in the AFC East. But you start to look at sometimes these owners, they're like, okay, let's just change something. Let's do. They're used to buying things, you know, something goes wrong, we'll just buy something. You know, Steve Cohen, the owner of the Mets, hey, I, I got more money than I know what to do with it, but I can't buy a winner. I'm trying to, but I can't. How about you develop a winner? That's what the Titans should be doing. Develop a winner, get a coach, give Brian Callahan the rest of the year unless something egregious happened or he lost the locker room or whatever language you want to use. If you bring him back, then be fair to him. If not, don't bring him back. I would have hired. I said this, I would have hired a new coach. If I'm going to bring in my quarterback, I want you. And too many times you hire a coach just because of the quarterback. And I think you. You have to hire a coach for the team, not the quarterback. I don't want it to be that specific. I want you to have the right coach, and hopefully you get the right offensive coordinator for that quarterback and you get continuity. It's the most important position in all the sports. You got to get it right. But you have to have almost a great foundation. You kind of have to have it surrounded in Styrofoam. Like, it's got to be protected. You know, Jaden Daniels got the opportunity, got a good offensive coordinator. You had some weapons, and you let him develop. Caleb Williams, how much was he going to develop? You had a coach, I never would have brought Matt Eber floose back. But they did. I. You just. You have to make a decision, is that our coach or he's kind of our coach. And that's what it felt like in Tennessee. He's kind of our coach there. And that's the shame, because that might be the only chance he gets to be a head coach in the NFL. And I don't know if he's a head coach, but I don't think you gave him enough time. You see these coaches who are attached to their quarterback, like Brian Dable, I said, you know, if you go to Jackson, Dartney does well, you might save your job. Kevin Stefanski doesn't have a quarterback. He went to Dylan Gabriel, got rid of Joe Flacco, and he might lose his job. Just certain situations, you know, Mike McDaniel with the dolphins, you got your quarterback, you gave him an extension. You might lose your job as well. And now we're talking about guys losing their job during a season. I mean, these are. These are. You don't get the halfway point. That's what's amazing. We're so quick to move on from coaches, so quick to move on from quarterbacks. All right, 8, 7, 7, 3, DP show email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle the DP Show Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, that's our streaming partner. Download the app if you haven't done so, congrats to the Falcons, who looked awesome last night. And Bijan. Not Bijan, it's Bijon. I think he. He corrected the media. It said, you know, actually, my name is Bijan Robinson, and here is Raheem Morris, the Falcons head Coach on his running back. I know you have high expectations for.
Seaton
Bijan, but did you have. You know, how special was this in comparison to his. What he does every other day?
Todd
Yeah, he's the best player in football. I've said it multiple times. I can't say it enough. You know, you can always have your pick. You can always go out there and.
Dan Patrick
Figure out who you want to vote for.
Todd
But, like, in my opinion, he's the best player in football.
Dan Patrick
Wow. Wow. He's certainly playing like the best player in football. He's off to an incredible start, a historical start as far as running backs and yards from scrimmage.
Paulie
Yeah, Paul, now, this is a big left turn here for Bijan Robinson. But remember, in college, he was Bijan.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Paulie
Like Dijon mustard.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Paulie
He actually started a mustard company, the official Dijon of Bijan. So how could he change the pronunciation of his name to Bijan? It's not Dijon mustard.
Dan Patrick
Well, maybe it's up to Dijon to say, you know, change the pronunciation of their mustard.
Paulie
It's a great deal for him in college.
Dan Patrick
Oh, look who's here. James in Virginia. Hi, James.
Caller
Oh, thank you for taking my call, brother. Happy Tuesday. DP Dan that salute the commanders, man. Big time, all the time, every time. I tell you what, dp, man, my wife loves hitting me with pies in the face, man. She thinks it's the best thing ever. Oh, my God.
Dan Patrick
Anything you'd like to say to James in Virginia?
Paulie
No, I like James too much. It was a rough night for him. You know, just a little slippery, little.
Dan Patrick
Slick, and then your wife's going to hit you with a pie to the face. Is that right, James?
Caller
Yes. And we're. We're looking at pumpkin pies because it's the state pie of Illinois, man. I tell you what, man, you cannot win football games with penalties and turnovers. And last night, man, three turnovers, 13 points. They lose by a point. It's a big loss for Washington, man, they fall to three and three. They had a chance to be first place in the NFC East. Now they fall all the way back to 12. They're one and three in conference now with the Packers, Falcons, and Bears all holding tiebreakers, they got a tough road ahead. Dp, Cowboys, Chiefs, Seahawks, Lions are the next four games, so it's going to be a tough stretch. I think that's really going to be the heart of the season right there or where they're going to end up at. But, man, kudos to the Bears. They came in with, like, the 30th ranked rush defense. Yeah, I got you, baby. And you know, they really played tough. I mean, Washington got 124 yards on the ground, but it was tough sledding. And like I said, they forced the turnovers and, and won the game, man. So, Polly, I'll have that in for you by. By Monday, my man. So you guys have a great day. Thanks for taking my call and salute the commander.
Dan Patrick
All right. All right, James. Down a little bit there. Yes. Marvin.
Marvin
Hey, James, if you're still there, are you holding your child?
Dan Patrick
I think he was.
Marvin
Okay, because I got you, baby.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, well, it could be his wife.
Marvin
That's why I asked.
Dan Patrick
Yes, Paulie, I gotta tell you, DP.
Paulie
Kayla Williams is back. DeAndre Swift, he looks swift last night. He's the swiftest guy in all. Salute the Bears, man.
Dan Patrick
Yeah. James in Virginia lost a pie to the face. Bet. Josh in North Carolina. Good morning, Josh. What's on your mind?
Caller
Hey, good morning, Dan. Dan Antz. Hope everyone's doing well. Long time, first time, five ten, father of four, two, three, three calling. I've been listening for the last few weeks or a couple weeks, just roasting Todd about the passable situation. And it reminded me when I was learning to drive. The year was 1999. I'll take you back. And my mom was in the passenger seat calmly teaching me how to drive her Dodge Neon. And the best piece of advice she gave. And Todd, this one's for you. And I use it in life all the time now, is don't let the bee behind you drive your car. So little defense of Todd, living his life, making his choices. Appreciate you guys. Love the show.
Dan Patrick
Thank you, Josh. Thank you. There you go, Todd.
Todd
I'll take one of those.
Dan Patrick
Okay.
Todd
Overwhelmingly against me. So wherever I can grab one where.
Dan Patrick
They'Re helping me out a little bit, some support there. Yes.
Seaton
Even state dots have like informational videos asking you to not do what Todd and that caller just said. They specifically asking you, please get out of the lane and move over, please. That's the way you're supposed to drive. You're not supposed to just park in that camp in that left lane. Please get over. Even the state is asking, please don't do that.
Dan Patrick
Yes, Todd, and you're.
Todd
You alluded it to the other day. I don't feel like it's camping if I'm going 10 plus miles an hour faster than the speed limit. And then if I do move over and then the guy that I let go continues in the left lane, he's not trying to pass.
Dan Patrick
But you're not the policeman. Like, you're not the. The speed police here. You don't decide you can go whatever you want to go, but if somebody wants to pass you, you can't go, well, I'm going 10 miles over. He should go around me.
Todd
The sticking point, other than the person being right on my bumper, which can cause an even worse accident if I go one mile an hour slow, he crashes into me, is the fact that many times the person in the left lane is not looking to pass at all. They just want to continue going very fast in the left lane because that's the lane where everybody speeds and goes fastest.
Dan Patrick
It's the passing lane.
Seaton
Would they be going past people when they were driving faster than them?
Todd
When I hear. When I hear passing lane, I mean, I don't know.
Seaton
I mean, call me crazy, but if they're trying to go faster than everyone else, that would also be include passing everyone else, Correct?
Todd
Yes. What I hear, passing, passing to me implies I get out of the way because I want to go past you and then so I can eventually move over to the lane.
Dan Patrick
But if you move over, he will pass you in the passing.
Seaton
Yes. What he is saying is, yes, get out of my way. Yes, that is accurate because he's trying to go past you and go where?
Todd
Continue in the left lane going 80, 90 miles an hour.
Dan Patrick
But that's on him, not you.
Seaton
And when somebody came up behind him going 100 miles an hour, it would.
Dan Patrick
Be on him to move over in the passing lane. Yes. Paul.
Paulie
It feels like Todd is reversing course. It looked like growth a couple weeks ago, and now it's going the other way.
Todd
I have moved out of the way a few times just to not get the finger to avoid getting honked or anything like that. But calling it a passing lane, when often no one's passing, they're just passing you because you're not going as fast enough for them.
Dan Patrick
All you have to say is, you know what, you're right. Or, my bad. You should try that.
Paulie
Never.
Dan Patrick
Seriously, you should try that.
Todd
I think someone going 80, 85 miles an hour or even 75, whatever number you want to throw out there on top of someone is just not.
Dan Patrick
Are you okay to speed?
Todd
No. No one should be speeding.
Dan Patrick
But you are.
Todd
Well, the person behind me is making me feel like, I guess 74 is not fast enough. I got to go faster.
Seaton
Just move over and then you could go.
Dan Patrick
However, you could go the speed limit.
Todd
Todd, why is the person behind me going if I'm going already 10 miles plus faster and he's on my butt. That means he wants to go like 20 miles an hour.
Seaton
What about the person who was in the left lane that was going the speed limit and you were going 10 miles faster than that? Are they like, whoa, what's with this guy?
Dan Patrick
Why is he flying by me?
Todd
There are lots of different situations.
Dan Patrick
All you have to do is say, you know what? You're right.
Seaton
Just move over.
Todd
I. I won't go that far, but I will say that I'm more cognizant of what I'm doing, and if I feel like I'm holding everybody up, I will move over. I'm not. I'm not a bad person. I'm not looking to inconvenience anymore.
Dan Patrick
I don't.
Todd
I don't like someone in my rear view mirror like on top of me when I'm already going very fast.
Paulie
I know a way to fix it.
Dan Patrick
You just move over.
Paulie
Move over.
Dan Patrick
Just. Just move over.
Seaton
Just move over.
Todd
He's got to scream out the window and say, I'm eluding the cops or my wife's just a water broke. I need. I need an explanation. Why you got to go 90 in the left wing?
Marvin
Who in the blue hell does Fritz.
Dan Patrick
He thinks he is.
Todd
Pull over. We're having a baby.
Dan Patrick
Get out of the way.
Todd
As opposed to. I want to get to my destination six minutes sooner. Get out of the way.
Dan Patrick
What if. What if his wife was having a baby and you're not moving over?
Todd
That would be terrible. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Just yell out the window.
Dan Patrick
Oh, okay.
Seaton
You would have to move in order for him to pass you to yell out the window.
Todd
Everyone should have a megaphone in these situations so everyone can hear the situation.
Dan Patrick
Okay, Todd.
Todd
Then they would lie and say that they're having a baby.
Dan Patrick
How about we take a break? How about we take a break from this topic forever? How about that?
Seaton
Just move over.
Dan Patrick
Yeah. You know, I'm gonna move over and let this topic pass. See what I did with that, Todd?
Todd
I did say that, but I'm trying to understand why I'm the bad guy. Why is this person driving?
Dan Patrick
So I'm gonna take a break here. I'm gonna. I have to take a break. We're back after this. Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick show, weekdays at 9am Eastern, 6am Pacific on Fox Sports. RA Heart Radio app.

Dan Patrick
Here's a stat for you. I don't know if it means anything to you. Thirteen teams have at least four wins through week six. That equals the most any season this century. Start of the day, start of the day. We love your start of the day. Of the day. Of the day. Oh, damn. Give us the stat of the day. Dad of the day, brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show. Does that mean that we have the most teams that have less than four wins this century? Can. Can it work the the opposite way as well there, but right now, 13 teams have at least four wins through week six. Andy and Buffalo. Then we're going to play the dun dun game. Andy, how are you?
Caller
Hey, Darren Morales are right here in Buffalo.
I think, as you know, you know, no city really lives and dies by their team quite like Bill's fans. Just want to get your thoughts on a couple things. So, you know, last night, I think everything really starts with Josh Allen. I think he'd be the first one to tell you that he's not playing up to his standard, you know, play calling. You can say what you want about that, but you know, he really has to make plays when it matters. The defense gave him chances in the second half to go down the field and tie the game, possibly take the lead. So I think it all starts with him.
And I want to leave you with one stat.
The teams the Bills have beaten this year, the jets, the Saints, the Ribbons and the Dolphins are a combined 3 and 21. So is it time to panic in Buffalo?
Dan Patrick
Well, I think it's time to do something at the trade deadline. Andy, thank you for the phone call. I think Buffalo will be active. I think they need to be active. But yeah, you're, I mean, you're winning those games, but you should be winning those games. It's. I always look at these teams that lose a game or two to a team that they should never have lost to. Like I go back to Carolina, shut out the Falcons 30 to nothing. Like, that's not, hey, you lost by three. They lost by three to Tampa Bay. And now we look at Tampa Bay and they might be the best team in the nfc. I mean, the Eagles lost to the Giants. These are the kind of games that you, you know, think back on, reflect back on when you get to the postseason. Go, why are we on the road for this playoff game? Oh, yeah, we lost to the Giants. It's little things. We tend to look at the end of a season and a win or a loss and you should be looking at something earlier in the season, beginning of the season, they still count the same. You know, the Chiefs losing to the Jags. The Jags should have won the game against the Chargers. Like just little things and you don't come up with those wins. Yes, Marvin.
Marvin
Yeah, sorry to Andy and Buffalo, but he said no city lives and dies with their team like Buffalo. I'm going to have to disagree. I think Green Bay is the number one overall seed when it comes to a team living and dying with their, with Their city.
Dan Patrick
Well, there's, you know, it's like the Packers. It's an anomaly when you have a team and that is really the face of your city, and you live and die by them. All right, time to do the dun Dun. Paulie explained Dundun.
Paulie
Now, we played this the past two years. It's. You're picking a list of teams that at this juncture in the season, you're saying they cannot and will not make the playoffs, and there has to be repercussions. If any team on your list makes the playoffs, you suffer some type of repercussion that you'll be in charge of.
Dan Patrick
Wow.
Todd
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
Okay. Do you want to start now? We just saying these are all the teams that we think are done done.
Paulie
Yeah. We're each giving quickly our list. I'm glad to go first.
Dan Patrick
Okay.
Paulie
Going the done done teams are the Dolphins, the Jets, the Browns, the Titans, the Raiders, the Cowboys are done done, the Giants, the Saints, and the Arizona Cardinals. I am. I considered Ravens, Bengals. I retracted Ravens, Bengals. They are not on my list.
Dan Patrick
Okay. Fritzi Dundun.
Todd
Jets, Titans, Browns, Dolphins, Ravens, Bengals, Raiders are my seven AFC teams. Only two in the nfc. Saints and Cardinals. I'm keeping the Giants and Panthers floating. I had them in parentheses, but not going to say the Giants and Panthers are done done yet, Satan.
Dan Patrick
Dun dun. Oh, geez.
Seaton
I just realized I'm missing a huge one.
Dan Patrick
That's a cheese.
Seaton
I have the.
Dan Patrick
Let's see.
Seaton
Jets, Dolphins, Titans, Browns, Bengals, Raiders, Saints, Giants, Panthers, Cardinals.
Dan Patrick
Oh, man.
Seaton
I say the Ravens. The Ravens aren't gonna make. Do I say the Ravens? Do I say the Ravens? Do I say the Viking? I'm gonna say the Ravens and the Vikings.
Caller
Wow.
Seaton
Is that mathematically possible? Do I have more teams missing the playoffs than can be in it?
Dan Patrick
I thought you said meth. Mathematically, meth.
Seaton
Well, in my brain, that's. Unfortunately, I'm dealing with mathematics.
Paulie
Yes, Paulie, the Bengals and Ravens both stink, but the least the Ravens are getting their star back at some juncture.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, that's true.
Seaton
I'm not putting the Ravens in there. What am I, crazy? I am putting the Vikings in, though. That's my. That's my list. Jets, Dolphins, Titans, Browns, Bengals, Raiders, Saints, Giants, Panthers, Cardinals, Vikings.
Dan Patrick
Done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done. All right, Marvin.
Marvin
All right. DP Bengals, Saints, Cardinals, Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Raiders, Titans, Cowboys.
Dan Patrick
Okay, Raven's little gutsy.
Marvin
They got five losses already.
Dan Patrick
I know, I know. 12 and five.
Todd
Defense ain't getting any better.
Dan Patrick
Thank you. Todd. Yes, Paul?
Paulie
I think we all Picked the Arizona Cardinals.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Paulie
The Cardinals are 2 and 4, and they've outscored their opponents by three points this year. The Eagles are 4 and 2 and have been outscored by one point.
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Kyler Murray out.
Paulie
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
But they could have won that game. They could have. They could have. They probably should have won the game. By the way, Todd, are you sporting your Brian Kelly Notre Dame collection?
Todd
I am. From the Brian Kelly. When he was on, you had said to him, if you're not doing anything with your Notre Dame stuff now that you're jumping to lsu. And he said, I'll be glad to send you stuff. So I packed up. I have a number of Notre Dame items, all from the Brian Kelly collection.
Dan Patrick
Okay. Yeah. Because in, you know, like, on the tag in the back, it says BK on it.
Todd
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have this and a few other items. All that Brian Kelly sent to you after he was leaving Notre Dame?
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Got sent me golf balls that had, you know, BK on it. And then I think it was Titleist, and It was like 62 was the number on the golf ball. I think he was for his 62nd birthday. Yeah. He sent me all the Notre Dame gear. I always wonder about that when coaches get fired or they're leaving. And then what do you do with all that gear? Because you're not going to wear it again. It's not like Nick Saban's got LSU gear that he's wearing or Dolphins gear. You're kind of stuck. And those are your colors that you're going to have. Let me see the Colonel in Tampa. Hey, Colonel.
Caller
Dan.
Good morning. Good morning, guys. Hey, listen, what a great weekend. I mean, I don't want to harp on the, you know, my bucks, but, uh, boy, 3 and 14 and. Oh, my goodness, Dan. And then, you know, what do you do when you lose your top three receivers? Baker? You pull out your two Johnsons. I mean, unbelievable. Dan. All good stuff.
Dan Patrick
All right, Colonel. Thank you. That's what was kind of lost. Banged up offensive line. And you don't have your three best receivers. Buka got hurt. Pretty incredible. No Godwin Evans, and you're still able to pull out a win there. That's why I think he's the MVP right now with what he's done.
Prime Video Announcer
Who?
Dan Patrick
Well, I. Are we putting Bijon Robinson in the MVP conversation? I mean, I know it's early, but the numbers he's putting up are pretty incredible. I mean, it's hard for a running back to win the mvp. Yes, Mark.
Marvin
He can win offensive player of the year that's true, but not mvp.
Dan Patrick
Is Daniel Jones an MVP candidate? Yes, Todd.
Todd
I'm going to say yes. What they're doing in the first few weeks of the season, when they were scoring, like on every possession, the points they're putting up and the record of what, five and one, that's. How do you ignore Daniel Jones right now?
Dan Patrick
Can we look at the odds, Paulie? See what DraftKings has for MVP? It feels like MVP is kind of like the Heisman. Like, I don't know, somebody's going to win it. Josh Allen, you know, trying to reap. Lamar Jackson's probably not going to win it again this year. Josh Allen, back to back losses here, but you still have that second half, and that's when storylines unfold, where you go, yeah, best team or best player? Yeah, Paulie.
Paulie
According to DraftKings this morning, the top three for MVP are Patrick Mahomes, Baker Mayfield, Josh Allen kind of tied. The next tier is Matthew Stafford, Jared Goff, Drake May is sixth, Justin Herbert's in the mix, Jordan Love, Jaden Daniels, et cetera. You got to go down to. Daniel Jones is plus 4,500.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I'll put a thousand on that. You pop one.
Paulie
Pop a dime.
Dan Patrick
No, no, no. My days of putting dimes down or nickels down are long gone. Yes. Marvin.
Marvin
Yeah. This is the year when somebody can win it. Ten years from now, we'll go, man. Baker Mayford won an MVP award because Josh Allen already won one. Lamar Jackson's got one, Mahomes has got one. So it's not. We owe somebody an MVP award. This could be the year where, you know, somebody comes out of nowhere and wins an mvp.
Dan Patrick
But I don't know if you're going to have the numbers because a lot of times you'll say, oh, look at that. He threw 48 touchdown passes or through 55 touchdown passes. You don't have that now. You know, these quarterbacks aren't putting up crazy numbers, certainly touchdown wise, the way they did when Peyton and Brady Patrick Mahomes. I mean, Baker had what, 40 touchdown passes last year? 41. Yeah. Paulie.
Paulie
Jared Goff is leading the NFL in touchdown passes. He's 14 touchdowns, two picks, and his completion percentage is 76.
Dan Patrick
I know, but it's still. People are never going to give him credit.
Paulie
He does it unspectacular.
Dan Patrick
Yes. They're not going to give him credit. It's like, yeah, they went to a Super Bowl. Yeah. But then they moved on from, you know, whatever. They went to an NFC Title game. It's just Jared Goff is. He's supposed to be great. He's the number one pick in the draft. It's like Baker's supposed to be great. We acknowledge those who are taken high in the draft, and we go, man, that guy's good. He's supposed to be good. Yes. Marvin.
Marvin
Yeah. I think Jared Goff suffers from the same thing as Jalen Hurts. Where? Man, look at all the talent around you. Of course you're going to put up numbers. You got great players everywhere.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, but Hertz doesn't put up great numbers.
Marvin
He wins.
Dan Patrick
Yes. Yes.
Marvin
So that's why he'd be in the MVP conversation, because this team's so good. But people were going to say, man, I could plug in blank quarterback and he'd put up those type of numbers or at least have those type of wins.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I thought that he was going to settle in for a career like Mahomes. From the standpoint, regular season didn't matter, that he wasn't going to put up great numbers. But in the post season, the only other guy that you would take over Mahomes would probably be Jalen Hurts, given what his track record is. Yes.
Todd
Todd, what would Daniel Jones have to do in the weeks ahead to climb up that MVP chart? Not being able to control how great other quarterbacks are and what they do, but just Daniel Jones himself would have to do what, to be in the mix and get better odds than he currently has?
Dan Patrick
Well, I think you would have to end up with maybe two losses, maybe three losses, but you have respectable numbers. But I. I still think voters would have a hard time giving it to Daniel Jones, like, you might say, most improve. But I. I don't like he's not putting up great numbers. His whole thing is just don't make mistakes. That was my point is you're out of New York. You know, that spotlight is not blinding anymore. Not everything is going to be, you know, viewed and, you know, chopped up, dissected the way it is in New York now. You have a chance with a good offense, and all you have to do is don't make mistakes. That's it. And that's what's happened so far. He's not making mistakes. Yeah.
Paulie
Paul, if you go back to Daniel Jones with the Giants, it wasn't interceptions, it was fumbles that killed him. His first three years in the NFL, he led the NFL. And fumbles by a quarterback, a sneaky stat no one would talk about.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, yeah. You saw the fumble with Jaden Daniels last night. But if you're winning those games, you know, then that's different. Or we overlook those things. But with Daniel Jones, you couldn't overlook just how bad he was and he was doing it in New York. Yes.
Marvin
Marvin, what would Aaron Rodgers have to do to be to get real MVP consideration? Because right now they're 4 and 1. So say if they win 14 games, is it. He already has too many.
Dan Patrick
I, I don't. He might be his own worst enemy that we're like, all right, he threw, you know, 23. I think the over under was 23 touchdown passes for him. The expectation levels weren't that high. How many touchdown passes does he have this year? Eight.
Marvin
He's got 10.
Dan Patrick
10. Okay, well, let's say he ends up with 30.
Paulie
He's on pace for 36.
Dan Patrick
Okay, that'd be nice. 36, eight interceptions, you end up winning the division. You got 12 wins. Okay, maybe, maybe. Does he get comeback player of the year as well?
Paulie
Yeah, Paul, but he wasn't hurt last year.
Dan Patrick
Well, his feelings were two years ago.
Paulie
He was hurt.
Dan Patrick
My feelings get hurt all the time. Do they? They have a comeback sports emmy? Because my feelings have been hurt these last five, six years. Be nice if we got a comeback sports emmy. Yes, Paulie.
Paulie
Yeah, I can't believe.
Todd
Yeah.
Paulie
The rule specifically for comeback player of the year, you're supposed to be hurt or overcome something, not just poor play. And Aaron Rodgers wasn't even that bad. I mean, he wasn't bad last year. He had 28 touchdowns.
Todd
Actually pretty good.
Dan Patrick
And that's why I think we said it at the beginning of the year. You would sign up for that if you're a Steeler fan. And I said, hey, Roger's going to give you 28 touchdown passes. You go, hey, we'll take it. We'll take that. And you probably will still take that. All right, we'll take a break here. We'll get some more phone calls coming up. Matt Leiner will join us coming up next hour. We, of course, going out to South Bend and you got to talk to Matt Leinert about the Bush Tush push. They were the predecessors to the Tush push back then, though it was illegal to do it. But they didn't call him. All right, we'll take a break. We're back after this.

Dan Patrick
I watched the documentary on John Candy. Ryan Reynolds I think produced this. Tom Hanks son Colin Hanks was also involved in this as well. It's really well done and you just forget about or maybe you don't forget about but John Candy would just light up a room and all the praise that's heaped on him. You know Planes Trains Automobiles is still one of those great movies, great, great movies that he was in and he probably should have been nominated for that as great as he was. Steve Martin was in that and it was well done. I think it's called I like Me and they talked to his had two children and Bill Murray was in it. There are a lot of, a lot of people, Eugene Levy, a lot of people worked with him through the years. But yeah, it's a John Candy documentary. Yeah.
Paulie
Paulie and the line I like me is from Planes, Trains and Automobiles with Steve Martin. I a guy like him, you always wonder what he would done drama wise later in his career. Because remember he was in jfk, he had that like five minute scene that he just stole. Great scene.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Paulie
And then would he have gone like, like Robin Williams became got into drama and guys like that and even Sandler's done some drama movies that are some of his best work.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I think Sandler's going to have one more shot at an Academy Award nomination and it might be this George Clooney movie because I think that the Academy. And look, Sandman's a good friend that the Academy missed uncut gems. That performance deserved to be nominated. I'm not gonna say when, but at least nominate him because every time he does one of those movies like Punch Drunk Love, people go, oh, man, he can act. No, he can act. He chooses to act for his audience. And then he gets these other ones and you know, the, the Safdie brothers, those are the ones to watch. Those are, those guys know what they're doing when it comes to making movies. And so maybe, maybe Sandman gets a chance. I hope he does. Let's see Ian in Colorado Springs. Hi, Ian. What's on your mind today?
Caller
Morning, fellas. 58180. Thank you. So I wanted to just give a little shout out to my newly fiance.
Todd
Had a.
Caller
It was gonna be the best and worst from yesterday, but didn't get in. So we went up to Maroon Bells and I proposed after hiking about an hour in the rain and couldn't actually see Maroon Bells, which I'm not sure if you guys are familiar with that. It's near Aspen, Colorado, but yeah, went out and saw some foliage and just want to. She's probably listening right now, I believe, but if not, I'll replay it.
Dan Patrick
So what's her, what's her name? Ian. Stacy. Stacy, congratulations. Ian didn't read the weather forecast because I'm sure your makeup and hair didn't look good in the rain, but hopefully that's not a precursor to anything with this relationship. But congratulations on getting engaged. Yes, Todd. No, no, we're not doing that. Rapid Radio is the official walkie talkie. The DP show. Push to talk service. National LTE coverage.

Caller
5, 10, 19 0. First time caller, long time listener. My wife called a couple years ago when we were taking the kids out to the ACC tournament in D.C. today we're back in the hospital. She's having our seventh child. We've named all six after presidents and was hoping you would help us with the name.
Dan Patrick
Well, have you named one of your children? Donald or Don or Trump or.
Caller
None have been named after our Current president.
Dan Patrick
Okay. Is it a boy or girl?
Caller
We don't know. We'll find out here soon.
Dan Patrick
Okay. Yeah.
Paulie
Paul Van Buren.
Dan Patrick
How about Polk?
Caller
Polk. Okay.
Dan Patrick
James K. Polk. Yes. Todd.
Todd
I'm thinking Grover for Grover Cleveland. Why not go to Sesame Street?
Dan Patrick
How about Taft? What'd you say, Kurt?
Caller
Grover was the one I wanted.
Dan Patrick
Okay, but we got to get a girl in there, too.
Caller
Absolutely. We've got Lincoln for a girl. We've got Monroe for a girl, and Quincy. So we need another girl named to pick from.
Dan Patrick
All right. Yeah. Paul.
Paulie
President James Madison. Madison.
Dan Patrick
Madison at the layup.
Caller
That's a good one.
Dan Patrick
Any other suggestions?
Caller
What do you think about Roosevelt? Call her Rosie.
Dan Patrick
I'm fine with that. I'm fine with that. You know, this is the thing, Kurt. As my mom said to all of my brothers and sisters, when you have them, you name them. And she never ever gave an opinion. Never. Now, my mother in law, she always had an opinion. She didn't like any of the names, no matter what. There was always. I knew somebody named Grace and she had a mole on her upper lip. And then we're like, well, we're still going to call her Grace. Okay. Yeah. Paulie.
Paulie
You know, a daughter named Eisenhower has a lovely ring to it, though, if you think about it. It's not common here. Eisenhower.
Dan Patrick
What is it? A pug?
Seaton
Call your kids like dogs.
Dan Patrick
Come here. Come here. Izzy.
Paulie
To round him up, is he.
Dan Patrick
Come here.
Paulie
He's got seven.
Dan Patrick
I know.
Marvin
Damn, that's old school right there.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, it is. Damn. I'm envious of that, huh? I grew up in a family of six. No, I would have had a few more.
Marvin
Your fourth one stopped all that, didn't she?
Dan Patrick
Yes, she did. Yes. That's where for you parents, young parents. And you have a child, another child, and you go, man, that second one, he's so chill. What about another one? We did that with our third one. Who? Georgia? Who was perfect. Great. And then we're like, you know what? How about another one? Then we ended up with Molly, and that was payback.
Todd
Nice.
Dan Patrick
Ended up with. She's a wonderful woman, but, man, was she tough. Alrighty. Two hours in the books. One more to go. Matt Leinert, on loan from Fox, will join us. Talk a little Notre Dame USC final hour on this Tuesday.
