You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. Hope you had a great weekend, everybody. It's hour two on this Monday. Dan and the Danettes, Dan Patrick show. Our buddy Ross Tucker will join us. Coming up a little bit, Gary Danielson for CBS Sports was on the call for army versus Navy. Navy roughed up Army. Big surprise there. Colorado's Travis Hunter wins the Heisman. No surprise there. And I know this is getting a little bit of reaction. Ashton Gentee of Boise State, who I voted for, that was, he was first on my ballot. Then it was Travis Hunter, then it was Shador Sanders. You could vote for three. You're not allowed to or you're not supposed to announce who you voted for until the ceremony is over. But Ashton Gentee was interviewed by a local TV station in Boise. This is Channel 7, KTVB, and it starts with the reporter's question.
Dan Patrick
You got a college football playoff game coming up on the end of the month. At the end of the month, does this pour a little more fuel on the fire at all?
Ross Tucker
100%. 100%. I think it does that. I mean, anytime, you know, you have something that, you know, you feel you should have accomplished or, you know, you should have been given, obviously everything is earned. But I just, I really felt like I should have walked away with the award. But, you know, kudos to Travis and, you know, for winning. But it's simple as that. Yeah, now they got a bye week. That was one of those where you look at the playoffs and you're like, who's Boise State playing? Nobody. They'll play the winner of SMU versus Penn State and it feels like that would be winnable for Boise State. They'll probably be a touchdown underdog to Penn State. I believe those were the projected odds. If they were going to face Penn State, well, they'd probably be an underdog to SMU as well. But Ashton Genti has every right to feel like he should have won the Heisman, put up a great year, and his team is in the playoffs. Travis Hunter, though, what he did, when you play both sides of the ball and he was the best player on the field, just felt like he was going to win. The question is by how much. But I had Shador Sanders third on my ballot and probably now he put up great numbers. But the toughness part of that, whenever I watched and I kept coming back to that. Because when you get to the NFL, can you sit in there in the pocket and take a hit? Because a lot of guys, they get rid of the ball a little sooner the older you get. You want, you know, And Shador Sanders stays in the pocket and he takes hits. And something to be said for that. He put up really good numbers. They were a good team. Came close to making the playoffs. And there were probably, you know, five to seven legitimate Heisman candidates. And, you know, you like seeing some of these other players get recognized. You know, Cam Ward played great. I just think they had too many close games. They lose the game against Syracuse, you know, you lose against Georgia Tech, I mean, that cost them. Could have been in the playoffs there. So I don't think you had an SEC player in the top 10 balloting. I don't overrate. I don't know the last time that that happened. An SEC player not in the top 10 for the Heisman balloting. Yes, Paul, you're correct. After Hunter Genty, Dylan Gabriel, 3. Cam Ward, 4.
Dan Patrick
Cam Scattabo.
Ross Tucker
Love to say that name. It's so much fun to say. Of Arizona State, Bryson Daley of Army, Tyler Warren of Penn State, Shador Sanders of Colorado, Curtis Roark of Indiana, Kyle McCord of Syracuse. Yeah. Wow. No SEC player. This hour brought to you by Rapid Radio's instant push to talk walkie talkies offering national LTE coverage and clear connection. Touch of a button, great communication device for the kids. Use them on the show. Rapidradios.com go there now. Up to 60% off. Free shipping. Poll question for hour two is going to be what Seton see, Paul sent over an interesting one. Underrated team I'd least like to face in the playoffs if I were a favorite. Okay, you have Broncos, Buccaneers, Rams, Vikings. Okay. Okay. I'll tell you what, I don't want to face the Buccaneers right now. No, I wouldn't either. What they did to the Chargers on the road was really, really surprising. And I thought this was just going to be one of those methodical charger wins. You know, they're going to win it. They're going to win by six. And they're like 23 17. And, you know, we'll probably not get a really good indication of, you know, either team. It's like they should win. They're playing at home. They're really good defense. But give Credit Baker Mayfield Jr. The third played great. Having Mike Evans back. I hope he gets to a thousand yards now he's been injured. I don't know how many games he's missed. But to get to 1,000 yards receiving again would be what, like 10 years in a row for him. It's, it's incredible. I mean he's, he's got a Hall of Fame career, but. All right, 877-3-DP. Show operator Tyler sitting by. He'll take your phone calls. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, our streaming partner, our radio affiliates around the country, Josh Allen, he had a great weekend. You know when you're the only quarterback in the last 50 years to have three consecutive games you weren't sacked? No fumbles, no interceptions, no negative yardage plays. Nobody's done that in 50 years. That could be a stat of the day. Stat of the day, stat of the day. Stat of the day.
Dan Patrick
Here comes that.
Ross Tucker
What? Stat of the day. But the Bills have scored and allowed 40 or more points in back to back games. The only other team to do that, 1966 New York Giants. So they have to have great games out of Josh Allen. And so far he has done that. But it doesn't feel like he's pressing. I always thought in previous years he would press. He was trying to do a little too much. Now it truly feels like he figured the game out. Now he's going to have a performance that won't, that'll be subpar. They all do. But when he's playing at a peak level, the highest of highs, he's a better version of Cam Newton. And Cam Newton was an mvp, better passer. But you give that dual threat and he's truly a dual threat. And then he had the chess pass that would have been for a touchdown, but there was a hold on that. That's Mahomesian, where it's like he's throwing chest passes. That's how comfortable he was. Monday Night Football. We have two games. I keep waiting. The Bears have one game left in them. They do. They have one game where they're going to play well. Is it tonight? They're getting seven against the Vikings. The Falcons, they're favored by five and a half against the Raiders. Okay, who is the starting quarterback for the Falcons at the end of this game? Go around the room, Marvin. Who is the Falcons starting quarterback at the end of the game? Michael Panix. Okay, Paul. Kirk Cousins. Todd.
Dan Patrick
Kirk Cousins.
Ross Tucker
Satan. Kirk D. What is prime time? Kirk D. Cousins. So I'm going to say he is, but I still think they got a. They have to at least let Michael Penix Jr III play a little bit at some point. I would really want to Put him in. They might be. They might be worried he might play well. And then all of a sudden you got a quarterback controversy. Yes. Don, you said there's one more good.
Dan Patrick
Game left in the Bears.
Ross Tucker
I'm just.
Dan Patrick
So I decided to just look at the remaining schedule.
Ross Tucker
So they got the Vikings tonight in Minnesota. They host the Lions.
Dan Patrick
They've got.
Ross Tucker
They host the Seahawks, and then they're at the Packers.
Dan Patrick
So if that group.
Ross Tucker
Where's that one big Bears game? Maybe. Maybe. See, Can I remove that? Can I have the court stenographer take that out? Wow. I'll say. I'm saying tonight. Are you saying a good performance or a win? No, no. Good performance. Yeah. I thought you meant a win. Maybe Seattle, maybe. They have to. They have to. Like, it's just the football gods where you go, dang, didn't see this one. It was like Carolina was favored against Dallas. And I go, look, I've watched far more Carolina games than I care to admit, and they have shown improvement. I wouldn't have made them the favorites against the Cowboys. And the Cowboys proved that yesterday. Yes, Paul, Wouldn't it be classic Kirk Cousins if he won and played really well tonight and turned the narrative back with the home stretch? They have Raiders, Giants, commanders, Panthers. Yeah. There's an opportunity to get back in it. Yeah. Well, it better start tonight. I'll tell you what. I watched and I couldn't turn it off. It was so bad. It was so bad. But I watched. You guys want to guess a sporting event? It was so bad, I couldn't turn it off. I was absolutely fascinated. Marvin, I'm going to start with you.
Dan Patrick
Stephen A vs. Kenny Smith Free throw shooting contest.
Ross Tucker
Okay. I didn't understand, like, what the bet was, by the way. That's not the worst thing I watched, but similar in bad shooting. Stephen A. Smith, who was on a smaller basketball school, he was on the team. I don't know how many years. I don't know how much he played, but he. Wait, where did he go to school?
Dan Patrick
Winston. Winston Salem State.
Ross Tucker
Winston Salem State. Okay. And he was going to do a free throw shooting contest against Kenny Smith. But Kenny Smith, who is probably an 83% free throw shooter for his NBA career, had to shoot left handed. Okay, why, why don't you just have Kenny be blindfolded and shoot free throws right handed? Because Kenny will make eight out of ten if you're. I've done that before on the show. These guys have, you know, Close your eyes, let me see how many you can make. I think I made Seven or eight out of ten. If you can shoot, you can shoot. And Kenny would. That's what I would have done. I would have blindfolded Kenny instead of making him shoot left handed. And. But I did. Was Barkley involved in this too? Was he shoot. I don't know what the whole thing was. I know it was like, oh, you know, Stephen A against Kenny. I said, well, Kenny will crush him. Shooting free throws. And then I tune in. Or I saw a clip and Kenny's clanking left handers. I'm like, who came up with the rules on this? Did Charles shoot? Did you see it, Marvin?
Dan Patrick
I did not. I only saw Kenny versus Stephen A.
Ross Tucker
And I'm sure Shaq didn't shoot either.
Dan Patrick
Dad. Patrick. Dad.
Ross Tucker
Patrick. Okay, this is what I watched. The Hornets and the Bulls combined to shoot 22 for 97 from three point range on Friday. They missed 75 three pointers. I couldn't turn it off. This is where you have to. If you don't make a certain percentage in the first half, then they have to cap you. Like they.
Dan Patrick
Like we not shoot you.
Ross Tucker
No, no, no. Not cap. That seems harsh. Players union would never. They'd probably miss. Oh, okay. We'd put a bow on that. Yeah, yeah. Okay. I'm watching this and I'm thinking, at some point, does somebody say, how about we go inside? How about we take it to the hoop? They missed 75 three pointers. Now on the flip side, the warriors and the Mavericks. That was a three point shooting show. Incredible performance there. But once again, not everybody should be shooting so many threes. They shot 97 threes, 22 for 97. Yes, Marvin.
Dan Patrick
Brandon Miller was three for 15 for three point range.
Ross Tucker
John Starksian, like you just at some point the coach has to say, go inside. How about we. How about mid range jumpers? Relax. Yes, Marvin, but shooter shoot. But these aren't all shooters. I want makers. I don't want shooters like, come on. That was bad. But I couldn't turn it off. So I know I rail on the three point shot. And there I was watching, mesmerized. Yes, Marvin.
Dan Patrick
You live a full life, dp.
Ross Tucker
I do. I'm downstairs. I have. I have an old fashioned keeper's heart. Old fashioned. Had a nice cigar called my father's. And I'm just watching clank after clank after clank and you can't turn it off. And it's Friday night. I'm killing it in the basement by myself because my wife will go, what are you watching? I said bleeping basketball. She goes, why are you watching it? I go, I can't turn it off. Hunting. So she goes, they don't. They're not making them. I go, I know. That's why I can't turn it off. All righty. So we got our poll question for hour two. Seaton. I don't know if I just blew through the stop sign there. Yeah, no, we, we are putting up their underrated team I would least like to face in the playoffs. Okay. I like that. Yes. All right. Why are you using that voice? Yes. That sounds like the creepy voice that I would use. Yeah. Yes. All right, we'll take a break. Ross Tucker is going to join us. We'll talk about the Heisman transfer portal. I told you source said there were two players in the playoffs who were going to be transferring. One of those players, player at Penn State, he announced that he's transferring and I think he's the backup quarterback who has played and played well and he's transferring before the playoff game. We'll take a break. Ross Tucker next on the Dan Patrick Show. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.

My weakest shot. He's Ross Tucker, CBS Sports, Westwood One NFL college football analyst. He was on the call. Patriots, Cardinals yesterday. I was watching Ross, just to let you know. Everybody else is watching. Bills, Lions, Eagles, Steelers. I'm watching the Patriots and the Cardinals. He'll also be in the booth for Westwood One Thursday night. Broncos and the Chargers. Ross Tucker joining us on the program. Where do you want to start?
Dan Patrick
You tell me, man. There's a lot. I mean, I know you got Gary coming on later for Army, Navy. We can talk about the, the Heisman.
Ross Tucker
You know what?
Dan Patrick
You know, I would like to start. Dan, I would like to start with the College Football Playoff and the transfer portal, okay? And I'll tell you why, okay? I live in central Pennsylvania. I live in the Harrisburg Hershey area. And Penn State's backup quarterback, Bo Prabula, who plays like 20 snaps a game because Penn State has this creative offensive coordinator and Prabhullah is sort of like a Trace McSorley clone. He announced last night that he's going into the transfer portal and will not be with the team for the College Football Playoff. So now they're playing Saturday against smu. It's the first playoff game in Penn State history. It's a home game. He grew up going to Penn State games. He's a huge Penn State fan. He loves Penn State. He's living his dream. Now, we have to assume that this probably means Drew Aller, the starter, is coming back next year. Cause I thought if Aller left, Prabula would start a couple years. But something is so wrong here, Dan, that you've got a kid that he's an important part of the team. However, if he stays with the team through the playoffs, he's not going to get a spot somewhere else. These other programs are not waiting for him. Right. Like, if you're at any of these other programs, name it, Memphis or Central Michigan, I don't care. Ohio State, they need to know who their quarterback's going to be. And if Kabula can't say yes to them, they got to move on to the next kid. I just hate this. This would be like if NFL free agency was the second week of January. I hate this for Penn State. I hate this for the kid. Like, this is a major, major problem for college football.
Ross Tucker
This seems like an easy fix. Or the fact that they didn't think that this was possible. I said this last week. I was told by a source there are two players in the playoffs who are going to transfer during the playoffs. This is one of the players. There's going to be one more who's going to transfer from what I'm told. And this is what's happening. These schools who are looking for these players now because the transfer portal is open, they are saying to them or their representatives, we don't want you playing another game if we're going to bring you in and give you nil. That's what's going on. And I understand both sides of this. Hey, I want to play. I'm not going to be a starting quarterback at Penn State. Yes, we're in the playoffs. They want me now. I either go now or they're going to move on to somebody else. We don't want you playing. We don't want you getting hurt. Like, if you're playing for Penn State, you might play three games coming up here. And that's what's amazing, is you're willing to quit on your team because somebody wants you and they want you right now.
Dan Patrick
Well, and here's the thing. Like, he grew up, like, 20 minutes from where I am right now. This has to be eating away. This isn't like somebody from Florida that went to Penn State. Like, there's pictures of him that they show all the time. 5 years old, 8 year old, 10 year old at Penn State games with Penn State gear on. Like this is. He's living his dream. But you know, like all of us in life, you get to the point where it's like, okay, the dream got this far and it was great to play football for Penn State, but the other dream is to actually be a starting quarterback, maybe have a chance at the pros, whatever. Can you imagine? Let's just picture. We're watching SMU Penn State on Saturday, second college Football playoff game ever in the expanded format. What happens if Drew Aller gets hurt on the second play and Penn State has to put a true freshman into the game? That's never played before other than garbage time. That, that is such a bad look. And the thing is, I know there's a window for after the playoff where guys can enter the portal, but that, that's the other. These other coaches, their, their livelihood. We got group of five coaches getting fired after two years all over the place. The guy at Charlotte, Tom Herman, fau, they're getting fired like this. They can't wait. Plus the thing that people never, never even talk about, they are still supposed to be taking classes like they are supposed to. They are supposed to be registered for the second semester. Like that's not even.
Ross Tucker
Now you're getting Ross, now you're getting silly. You went to Princeton. You went to Princeton. That's, that's different there. Your initial reaction comments to Bill Belichick going to North Carolina. I'll give you an opportunity. Looking back on those comments, do you stand by what you said about Bill Belichick?
Dan Patrick
Yeah. I mean, well now when I said it on, on the radio in Boston, I was, I was laughing because knowing his personality and the way he treats people and knowing what I think is the most important thing for college head coaches, that they're like polar opposites. Right? So the key for college football coaches, head coaches, you're basically the CEO of a huge operation and the two most important things you can do are to convince 17 year olds and their parents that they should come play for you and convince rich people that went to the school or fan of the school to give you more money. That's the job, Dan. Like that's the biggest part of the job. Belichick is definitely the best game planning schematic coach I was ever around. But you hear Brady's comments, Edelman's comments, you talk to anyone that's ever played and I know people are going to reply in the comments. You only Played two games for him. Yeah, I know. I only played two games. I was there for parts of two seasons. I know what he's like. I know his personality. It's 100% negative reinforcement. The first thing they do at 8am Team meeting is show the five worst place from the day before. No one I know or has spoken with him. Dan can picture him being in a living room recruiting or talking to donors and trying to get money. Nobody can picture that. And maybe they can have success without that. Maybe he can hire some people that can do that part of it. I'll also say this. Looking at the buyout, Dan, I firmly believe, and maybe I'll be wrong and maybe we won't get a chance to see it. I firmly believe that as soon as he got an NFL opportunity or gets NFL opportunity, I think he would leave the next day. I think he would leave the next day. Even if the fir. I think the initial buyouts, 10 million. If somebody decides in January that they want Belichick, I think he'd be gone certainly next year. If someone gets fired, I. I think he'd much, much rather be in the NFL.
Ross Tucker
Why is the buyout $1 million?
Dan Patrick
Because he wanted it that way. But North Carolina.
Ross Tucker
But the optics are terrible.
Dan Patrick
It's a great point. It's a great point. Guess what? He doesn't care about the optics. Just like I don't really believe he cares that much. Like it would be a bad look for him if the Jaguars offered him the job and in January he leaves unc. I just don't think he cares that much. I think he'd say, listen, like, I'm sorry, but I have a better opportunity and I want to take this. I don't think he would care that much about what that means for North Carolina. On some level, I feel like North Carolina, Dan is getting already what they wanted out of this. Everybody's talking about them. They were able to reel in the big fish. They're getting relevancy. North Carolina is already getting a lot of publicity and a lot of branding out of this. I don't know. Obviously they wouldn't be happy if he left, but I mean, does anybody really think he'll be there for three to five years? I don't. Unless no NFL team wants him. And maybe he'll stay because I'll give him credit for this. I never thought he would do this. He must really love coaching football. I personally thought he wanted to continue to coach in the NFL. To break down Shul's record, the two huge positives about Bill. Unbelievable. Schematically. And game planning. And he clearly really, really loves it because there's no other explanation for him to take this North Carolina job.
Ross Tucker
He's Ross Tucker, CBS Sports, Westwood One, NFL college football analyst and host of Ross Tucker Football Podcast. The NFL MVP race is just about over.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, it's over. I mean, it's Josh Allen.
Ross Tucker
It's over.
Dan Patrick
The guy is unbelievable. Now, listen, there's three games left. That's a decent size of games. But what he's just done, especially against the Chiefs and the Lions, two games that everybody was watching. And even in a losing effort against the Rams, that was another game everybody watched. And he was ridiculous in it. You know, I don't like to get too prone to hyperbole. Right. I can't, off the top of my head, think of a quarterback who I thought had a higher upside. Meaning when they're playing their best. I'm not sure. Now, we know Josh has had turnover issues. You know, he's been inconsistent at times in his career. But when he's at his best like he is right now, who's, who's better than him ever? He's 6 5, 245 pounds. He can run with power and speed maybe better than any quarterback we've seen. He has the strongest arm in the NFL. He's very smart. You look around at their skill guys, they're putting up 40 some points. None of those guys are going to the Pro bowl this year. I mean, maybe James Cook, but they're not. He's not throwing the ball to, like, a star receiver tandem like some of the other teams have. The guy is unbelievable. I think he's got the highest upside of any quarterback I've ever seen in my life. For when he's playing his best, I don't think anybody can top that.
Ross Tucker
How concerned should the Lions be?
Dan Patrick
Very. And listen, you know, I'm from Pennsylvania. I do the Eagles preseason games. I have no ties or allegiance to the Lions. Makes me very, very sad. Very sad. This was supposed to be their year. Now Dan Campbell says it might be season enders for Aleem McNeil, their best defensive lineman, their last defensive lineman standing, and Carlton Davis, who's probably their best corner. I don't know I've ever seen anything like this. They've lost, what, seven starters on defense, and it's, it's a darn shame, Dan. It really, I, I, I wanted to see, I wanted them to see this through, and I wanted to see what they could accomplish this year. Now they'll get some guys back. Anzalone will be back, so we'll see who they can get back for the playoffs. But it really, really stinks. We know that. You know is why I laugh when people say injuries are no excuse. Really? Okay, so maybe injuries are no excuse, but they might be the reason. I mean, you watch the games, right? You see what the Lions defense was when they had Hutchinson and all their starters. Now you watch what it is when they've lost all these guys at some point. If it's not an excuse, it's darn sure the reason why their defense stinks.
Ross Tucker
Now, I know that you were doing your game when the Eagles and the Steelers were playing, but I watched it. Oh, you did? While you were doing your.
Dan Patrick
No, no, not while. Not while I was doing it. But after. After I got back to the hotel, before the red eye, I watched it. Cause I watch every Eagle snack. Cause I talk about it so much during the week.
Ross Tucker
Okay. Anything jump out at you with that performance?
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, I do my power rankings on the Ross Tucker podcast on Tuesday. I'm gonna have them number one. I think they're pretty clearly the most talented roster in the NFL. I think they're the best team right now in the NFL. You know, the thing I said on social media, this thing I do for the Eagles fans, I hope they appreciate the offensive line. That is not normal what they're doing then. Their Last drive was 10 and a half minutes. Yeah, 10 and a half minutes. The Steelers had two possessions and 11 plays in the second half. Never heard of that in my life. They haven't given up more than 13 points, the defense. And there was a fumble return against the Jags. The defense has not given up more than 20 points since the buy. It's statistically the best defense since the buy, which was week five. Their receivers are absurd. We saw that with Devontae Smith and AJ Brown yesterday. You know, about Saquon, the only real question mark is Hertz. When he plays at that level like he did yesterday, good luck. Right. Like to beat them, you're going to have to force Hertz to beat you, and he's going to have to have a bad game. It's like, you know, force the other team to shoot threes or whatever in hoops and they have an off night and they're missing them. That's your only shot right now against the Eagles. Stop the run. Force Hertz to make plays in the. In the passing game, hope that he has a bad game and you win.

Safe travels. Thanks for joining us.

Ross Tucker
Badass football helmets of all time.

Navy football with the Jolly Roger.

Dan Patrick
Quick.
Ross Tucker
T shirt idea and then the best and worst T shirt idea. NFC south will rise again. Put some logos and stuff on that. I know you got all these regular callers, Jeff and Detroit out in Atlanta, James of Virginia. So I'd like to know if y'all might be in or out. Out on me being your regular saint slash, Bama caller from South Alabama. And best of the weekend, Saints losing at home and continuing our streak to march towards the top 10 draft pick. Worst of the weekend, Saints losing at home and scoring to not cover the spread. All righty. Thank you, Dustin. You have to earn it. We just don't hand out titles, you know. You want to give us a Spencer Rattler update occasionally, that'll be fine. Let's go around the room. Best and worst of the weekend. Todd, I'm going to start with you. Best of the weekend, Travis Hunter's emotional speech Saturday night at the Heisman presentation and how grateful he was to family, friends, coaches and teammates. I was moved by that. I like that. Worst of the weekend, Marshall bowing out of the Radiance Technologies Independence bowl against army because several of their players entered the transfer portal after the school made a coaching change. The Thundering Herd has been replaced with the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs. Now I think it's. There were 25 players that are transferring, think following their coach. Wow. Seaton. Best and worst of the weekend. I'm going to go two bests because I'm a positive person. My one best is Mike Evans. Looking like the Mike Evans of old. How about that? Two touchdowns, 159 yards. Vintage performance, some might say. All right. Well done, lad. My other best is another Mike, Mike McCarthy. I'm pretty sure he's saving his job right now. And if he. I don't know if he was in danger of losing it, but he's winning his way right back into being the coach next year. If you're a Dallas Cowboy fan. Is that what you want? I don't know, but Mike McCarthy sure does. I think Troy Aikman said this a couple of weeks ago. He thought that Mike McCarthy was going to be back. Marvin. Best and worst of the weekend.
Dan Patrick
All right. I'm gonna go with my Yukon Huskies. Hey, we won. The Yukon Huskies were undefeated in a continental United States. They haven't lost the game in the real United States. Worst of the weekend, the Seahawks uniforms. Oh, my goodness. The lime green. Horrendous. As opposed to the all white for the Packers.
Ross Tucker
That was chef's kiss. Yeah, the lime green. Not good. Paulie. Best and worst. Two best. The FCS college football Playoffs. They're all in the playing states, Dan. South Dakota State, North Dakota State, South Dakota and Montana State are your final four. It's a hotbed of football. And then the other best of the weekend would be Navy quarterback Blake Horvath. Two touchdowns passing, 204 yards rushing. Took care of Army. Great job by him. He and they started out playing really well. He got banged up earlier in the season, but that was fun. It's always fun to watch that game. Paul in Colorado. Hey, Paul, what's on your mind? Good morning, my green chili brothers. Greetings from colorful Colorado.
Dan Patrick
Did I lose you?
Ross Tucker
You got me. No, I got you. I'm sorry I lost you. So, best of the weekend. It's always a privilege to listen to Dave Logan and rick Fox. Their 500th game, a win and got a shout out to the voice of the Broncos and the voice of Colorado Buffaloes their 100th anniversary KOA 850. Well, thank you. Thank you, Paul, for shouting out KOA Dave Logan. That's going to be yours. It was. Yeah. Not anymore. Griffin in Cincinnati. Hi, Griff. Welcome back. Hey, Dan.
Dan Patrick
Got a best and worst of the weekend.
Ross Tucker
Best.
Dan Patrick
Bengals get the win. So I get to keep my playoff hopes alive for at least another week. That's something I wasn't expecting a few weeks ago. It was ugly, but I'll take it. My worst of the weekend is the future of Zach Taylor and Joe Burrow and their partnership. I'm sure you saw the video of.
Ross Tucker
Joe on the bench and Zach kneeling down talking to him, and there may.
Dan Patrick
Have been some expletives used possibly between Joe and them. Their relationship has always been a little.
Ross Tucker
Weird to me, Dan.
Dan Patrick
I think that Zach Taylor's very positive but fault when Joe Burrow is trying to hold himself and the team accountable a little differently. The Bengals cannot let Mike Brable lead.
Ross Tucker
The state of Ohio, Daniel. They just can't.
Dan Patrick
I don't think that they can let it happen.
Ross Tucker
Mike Brown's got to send an Uber.
Dan Patrick
Black up to Cleveland because he's too.
Ross Tucker
Cheap to buy a private plane to.
Dan Patrick
Fly him down and have him drive down from Cleveland to get here. Or possibly you always got to go back to go forward.
Ross Tucker
Just like Mike McConaughey.
Dan Patrick
He says maybe Marvin Lewis is the answer.
Ross Tucker
Dan, bring him back. Marvin did a good job there. It felt like, hey, we found somebody who wants to actually coach the Bengals. We'll keep him in there even if they don't win a playoff game. Yes. Yes. Marvin. Wasn't he there for like 17 years? He was there a long time. It was like second longest tenure behind Belichick. Joe Burrow is on pace to be the second quarterback in the last 50 years to lead the NFL in passing yards and passing touchdowns while playing for a losing team. I didn't give you who the first one was. It happened in 2012. Led in passing yards, passing touchdowns on a losing team. Paul Matt Stafford. No. Good guess though, Todd.
Dan Patrick
I don't know.
Ross Tucker
Did I, Did I?
Dan Patrick
No.
Ross Tucker
I just don't know.
Dan Patrick
I don't want to give a.
Ross Tucker
What's the question? Guess something. What's the question?
Dan Patrick
It was with the 2012 quarterback, but I just, I'm not good at the trivia thing. I want to just say it. I don't want to say it.
Ross Tucker
Do you know, just say you didn't hear it.
Dan Patrick
No, I did hear I missed one little part of it.
Ross Tucker
Well, there was the big card of give me the stat back.
Dan Patrick
I normally would raise my hand if I had to look at answers.
Ross Tucker
No, we were going around the room. Okay, do you, do you know what it is?
Dan Patrick
It was a 2012 quarterback related stat.
Ross Tucker
And what did they do?
Dan Patrick
They accomplished something very significant.
Ross Tucker
Okay. That's all you have to say?
Dan Patrick
Because I feel bad because I'm like.
Ross Tucker
If I'm just for a second I.
Dan Patrick
Zone out because I'm like, I'm not, I don't think I have an answer to this.
Ross Tucker
So then I just, just say I didn't hear it.
Dan Patrick
I prefer to raise my hand if I think I have a good guess as opposed to the going around Satan.
Ross Tucker
Do you have an answer, Matthew Stafford? No, that's why I was gonna say Matthew Staff. Damn it. Drew Brees in 2012.
Dan Patrick
Wow.
Ross Tucker
Nobody cares. I, I, I, I just don't have recuse myself. I don't, I don't, I don't like doing trivia, you know. Yes, Todd?
Dan Patrick
I didn't raise my hand.
Ross Tucker
I'm not good with this trivia thing.
Dan Patrick
I can't speak for everybody, but I'd.
Ross Tucker
Prefer when we do trivia, like if.
Dan Patrick
You think you have an answer, you.
Ross Tucker
Raise your hand as opposed to say a name. Even as ridiculous as it might sound.
Dan Patrick
Say anything.
Ross Tucker
You didn't even know what the the trivia question was. Say a quarterback's name from 2012. Say my name.
Dan Patrick
Drew Breeze.
Ross Tucker
Final hour. Hey, you got it. It was Breeze. Emulate me. Hear him give the answer. Was it Breeze? This is Tonya Rad from scrubbing in with Becca Tilly and Tonya Rad.
Dan Patrick
This is what you do when you've just found that statement handbag on ebay and you want to build an entire wardrobe around it.
Ross Tucker
You start selling to keep buying. Yep on ebay over that all black everything phase.
Dan Patrick
List it and buy all the color.

The Dan Patrick Show – Hour 2: Heisman Reaction with Ross Tucker Release Date: December 16, 2024
In this engaging episode of The Dan Patrick Show, host Dan Patrick welcomes Ross Tucker to delve into the latest developments in college football, Heisman Trophy reactions, the transfer portal's impact on the College Football Playoff, standout NFL performances, and a lively discussion on the best and worst moments of the weekend. The conversation is enriched with insightful analysis, passionate opinions, and notable quotes that capture the essence of the topics discussed.
The episode kicks off with an in-depth discussion on the recent Heisman Trophy announcement, where Colorado's Travis Hunter clinched the prestigious award. Ross Tucker shares his initial surprise and candid reactions to the outcome.
Ross Tucker [03:54]:
"I really felt like I should have walked away with the award. But, you know, kudos to Travis and, you know, for winning. But it's simple as that."
Tucker elaborates on his support for Ashton Gentee of Boise State, emphasizing his belief that Gentee was a strong contender and deserved recognition.
Ross Tucker [05:00]:
"Ashton Gentee has every right to feel like he should have won the Heisman, put up a great year, and his team is in the playoffs."
He also highlights Shador Sanders' impressive performance and toughness, considering Sanders as a potential future NFL player.
Ross Tucker [05:30]:
"Shador Sanders stays in the pocket and he takes hits. And something to be said for that."
The conversation underscores the competitive nature of the Heisman race, with Tucker mentioning other notable candidates like Cam Ward and Dylan Gabriel, while pointing out the absence of an SEC player in the top 10 balloting.
Ross Tucker [06:30]:
"There were probably five to seven legitimate Heisman candidates. And, you know, you like seeing some of these other players get recognized."
Dan Patrick shifts the focus to the College Football Playoff, particularly addressing the implications of players entering the transfer portal during the postseason.
Dan Patrick [24:40]:
"I live in central Pennsylvania. And Penn State's backup quarterback, Bo Prabula, who plays like 20 snaps a game because Penn State has this creative offensive coordinator, announced last night that he's going into the transfer portal and will not be with the team for the College Football Playoff."
Ross Tucker expresses his frustration with the situation, highlighting the challenges it poses for both the player and the team.
Ross Tucker [27:36]:
"If you're at any of these other programs, name it, Memphis or Central Michigan, I don't care. Ohio State, they need to know who their quarterback's going to be. And if Kabula can't say yes to them, they got to move on to the next kid."
The hosts delve into the broader impact of the transfer portal, discussing how it disrupts team dynamics and affects the strategic planning of college programs.
Dan Patrick [29:02]:
"This is a major, major problem for college football."
The discussion transitions to the NFL, with a spotlight on Josh Allen's stellar performances. Ross Tucker praises Allen's consistency and his unique skill set.
Ross Tucker [08:49]:
"Josh Allen is the only quarterback in the last 50 years to have three consecutive games you weren't sacked? No fumbles, no interceptions, no negative yardage plays."
Dan Patrick echoes this sentiment, lauding Allen's physical attributes and his dual-threat capability that sets him apart from his peers.
Dan Patrick [35:09]:
"He's a better version of Cam Newton. And Cam Newton was an MVP, better passer. But you give that dual threat and he's truly a dual threat."
The hosts discuss the implications of Allen's performance on his MVP candidacy, with both agreeing that he's a strong frontrunner given his recent form.
Back to college football, Dan Patrick raises concerns about the transfer of key players from Penn State amidst playoff preparations.
Dan Patrick [26:34]:
"This would be like if NFL free agency was the second week of January. I hate this for Penn State. I hate this for the kid."
Ross Tucker expands on the issue, noting that other programs are eager to secure talented players and are actively pursuing transfers even during the playoff season.
Ross Tucker [27:50]:
"These schools who are looking for these players now because the transfer portal is open, they are saying to them or their representatives, we don't want you playing another game if we're going to bring you in and give you NIL."
The conversation highlights the urgency and competitiveness of the transfer market, emphasizing the difficulties teams face in retaining talent during critical periods.
In a lighter segment, Dan Patrick and Ross Tucker share their picks for the best and worst moments of the weekend in sports.
Best of the Weekend:
Travis Hunter's Emotional Heisman Speech
Tucker commends Hunter's heartfelt acknowledgment of his support system during his acceptance speech.
Ross Tucker [43:11]:
"Travis Hunter's emotional speech Saturday night at the Heisman presentation and how grateful he was to family, friends, coaches and teammates. I was moved by that."
Mike Evans' Stellar Performance
Celebrating Mike Evans' impressive statistics and his contribution to the game.
Ross Tucker [45:00]:
"Mike Evans was three for 15 from three-point range. Vintage performance, some might say."
Worst of the Weekend:
Marshall Bowing Out of the Independence Bowl
Tucker expresses disappointment over Marshall's exit from the bowl due to players entering the transfer portal after a coaching change.
Ross Tucker [43:49]:
"Marshall bowing out of the Radiance Technologies Independence bowl against Army because several of their players entered the transfer portal after the school made a coaching change."
Seahawks’ Lime Green Uniforms
Dan Patrick criticizes the Seahawks' uniform choices, finding them unattractive.
Dan Patrick [46:22]:
"Worst of the weekend, the Seahawks uniforms. Oh, my goodness. The lime green. Horrendous."
These selections provide listeners with a balanced view of the highs and lows experienced throughout the weekend's sporting events.
The show features a brief trivia segment where Dan and Ross engage in a quarterback-related question, leading to humorous exchanges and playful competition.
Dan Patrick [50:13]:
"It was with the 2012 quarterback, but I just, I'm not good at the trivia thing."
Despite the mix-up, the segment adds a fun element to the discussion, showcasing the hosts' camaraderie and quick wit.
As the episode wraps up, the hosts reflect on the intense nature of college football and the evolving landscape influenced by the transfer portal. They reiterate the significance of player retention and the strategic challenges faced by collegiate programs.
Dan Patrick [35:09]:
"Very sad. This was supposed to be their year. Now Dan Campbell says it might be season enders for Aleem McNeil, their best defensive lineman, their last defensive lineman standing, and Carlton Davis, who's probably their best corner."
Ross Tucker [38:17]:
"Safe travels. Thanks for joining us."
Ross Tucker credits his insights as a CBS Sports and Westwood One analyst, setting the stage for future discussions and appearances on upcoming episodes.
