Are the Patriots getting close to being hated? Come on in. Stay a while. It's hour two on this Tuesday. Fritz, he's here. Dylan's in for Seaton, Marvin, Paulie, yours truly and the back room guys. Patriots beat the giants. They won 10 in a row. Longest winning streak since a 10 game winning streak back in 2015. Mike Brable's done a wonderful job and Drake May is now your leading candidate for the MVP. We'll talk to Devin McCourty former Patriots defensive back. He was on the call for Westwood One radio last night as the Patriots rough up the Giants. 3315 phone calls always welcome. 877-3-DP show email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle @DP show the poll question from hour one and then we'll get a new one for hour two. By the way, good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, that's our streaming partner. Download the app if you haven't done so. Dylan yeah, Dan. So hour one was if you were a free agent wide receiver, where would you or who would you want to go play with? I had to narrow down the options because there's only four, but it was Drake May, Matthew Stafford, Joe Burrow or other Drake May leading the charge. His recency bias. I would want to play with Joe Burrow. I think Joe Burrow's best passer in the NFL healthy Joe Burrow when healthy. That's the problem. When healthy. But Stafford up there as well because he sheds the the wealthier he's been wonderful. Yes, Paulie, this poll was a bit of an experiment off recency bias, but I'm curious if wide receivers, and this seems like a rhetorical they want to play with timing drop back passers more than scramblers. As great as Lamar Jackson is and he's a really good passer, I wonder if those wide receivers get frustrated by those guys. Well, I wouldn't want to play with Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen or Kyler Murray because receivers want to know where you're going to be when you throw the ball. And if you're a scrambler now the receiver has he has to almost find you as well. But if you had the drop back passer, you know, I'm going to go seven yards and I'm going out and most of the time that pass will be there unless my quarterback, you know, gets pressured. They love, you know, the timing of all of this. They love the routine of this is how I run a pattern. Whereas the other guys are wonderful at extending a play but then you don't know where they are. So you're constantly going, okay, where, where is he going? And then you have to break off your route. Yes. Marvin, are you giving Joe Burrow the Aaron Rodgers treatment where he's not the best quarterback but he's the best thrower of the football? You take him over Patrick Mahomes because I've seen Patrick Mahomes win Super Bowls with guys that weren't all pros like Jamar Chase And T. Higgins. Well, Joe Burrow did take the Bengals to the Super Bowl. Oh, with that team. Oh, you're right. Okay. But he had all pro wide receivers. Patrick Mahomes has a Tom Brady like, quality where it's like, who was the receiver he threw that touchdown pass to in the Super Bowl? Yeah, I don't know either. Well, Mahomes does have a Hall of Fame tight end, hall of Fame coach, and he has had some really good wide receivers. And he's got Chris Jones, who might be a Hall of Famer, on the defensive side, and he's got a defensive coordinator, might be the best defensive coordinator in football. He has a lot of things going. Tell me the great Bengals defensive players. That's right. In. In this century. So Joe Burrow, to me, is the best passer. That doesn't mean he's the best quarterback. If you said, all right, game on the line, who do you want? I'm taking Patrick Mahomes. Absolutely. Semantics. But we're talking about Pat. If I'm a wide receiver. Now, let me put it this way. If you take Joe Burrow and I get Patrick Mahomes, I'm fine with that. Or if we flip it, I'm fine with that. Okay. Yeah. But I think Joe Burrow, when Joe Burrow is healthy, I think that he's the best passer in the NFL. Yes, Paulie. I do wonder, though, the counter of that, do some wide receivers, like the quarterback, that can keep the play alive and they could break their route and do something. I remember you had Pete Carroll. We had Pete Carroll on like 12 years ago, and he's. You asked him about something with Russell Wilson, breaking plays and rolling right, he goes, oh, we practice that. We practice what you're going to do when Russell keeps a play alive rolling right or left. And Aaron Rodgers at his peak would break plays and roll right and find a lot of guys with his big arm. I wonder if there's also. That's part of what receivers love. Well, if you're really good at breaking containment, then okay, fine. But Aaron was always rolling right. And as a receiver, I know where he's going. With Lamar and Josh Allen, I don't necessarily know where they're going. It doesn't mean that they're not great quarterbacks and future hall of Famers. We're talking about a wide receiver. Drake May is very consistent. He spreads the wealth. He's not going to give you 300 yards passing. He's not going to give you 150. And that's what you want that we don't have to rely on him to, you know, win these games that we as a team. And you saw that last night. And granted it is the Giants, but they can run the ball. And I do think that he is very good at knowing what he can and can't do. Yeah. Paul, this poll completely sets up our guest coming up later, Steve Young, because he was more of a scrambler and runner. I mean, he was a big time runner at his peak. And Jerry Rice played with both him in Montana. I'm curious what the difference was. Was back in the day. No, because when he got to his peak, he was not a runner. More so in comparison to Montana. Yeah, he curtailed it, but like, oh, yeah, Montana didn't run. I mean, Steve ran. Steve probably could have played tailback in the NFL. He was that talented. But he learned. He had to. He had to learn the, the position and go through your progressions. And that's how he became a Hall of Famer. He was completing 70% of his passes. Yes. Mark, do you think he went through the same thing that Jackson Dart is going through, like being football player? And then, you know what, let's try to be a quarterback now. I don't know if Steve would have taken on defenders to prove that he was tough. Jackson Dart wants to show that he's tough and he got hit last night. He is tough, but you're coming out of concussion protocol. The last thing I want is my quarterback going to the sidelines and deciding I'm going to take one more step here. Here is Jackson Dart after the game. We. It sounds like a broken record, Jackson just asking you about the hits and taking them and protecting yourself and things like that. Is there anything you would have done different on that one? No. Look, like I understand the question, but like, this is, like, this is football. Like I'm gonna get hit if I'm in the pocket or outside the pocket. Like, it's like I feel like I've played this way my whole entire life. This shouldn't be like any shocker to anybody. If you've followed along with my career and we're not playing like, we're not playing soccer out here. Like you're gonna get hit. Things happen. It's part of the game. It is. But you're an investment. Do you want to play 5 years your way or do you want to play 15 years the other way? That's what I would ask you because you can't have both. You can't be a tough guy and expect to have a long career. Can't. And you're coming out of concussion protocol. And you've been banged up already this year because you've taken on deep defensive backs. And you got Troy Aikman saying you've got to change your style. That's where you should listen. You may not want to listen to me or any of us reporters, but you should be listening to him. Couple of phone calls. By the way, the autograph calendars are gone. The only way to get them, danpatrick.com and if you click on the tailgate moonshine, there's some special deals for that. If you want to get an autograph calendar, by the way, you have until December 8th to order to get them in time for the holidays. Ryan in Nashville. Hi, Ryan. What's on your mind today? Hey. Hey, bud. Just wanted to push back a little bit on what you're saying about the college football structure yesterday, about how they should just go and take pick the 12 best teams. Kind of think that'd be a disservice to the tournament itself. I think that in every other collegiate sports, from, you know, lacrosse to soccer to baseball, if you win your conference, rightfully so, you should have a chance to play for the national championship. I think what gets lost in this are these mega conferences. 16, 17 team conferences. Well, yeah, some teams are going to get left out. Like Texas this year. They have a case. They're going to get left out because the conferences are so big. I think that if you take the conference champion for every conference that keeps the entire country engaged. Contrary to popular belief, we're not all SEC and Big Ten fans like my alma mater, East Carolina. You know, three weeks ago, we were still in the mix for a conference championship. It was fun to follow. It engages people. I think that that's only a fair thing to do when your conference. Yeah. You have a chance to play for the national championship. Yeah, I look, I like when we have underdogs, Boise State or Arizona State last. But if Texas doesn't schedule Ohio State, if they schedule the Citadel, they're in the mix. They make the playoffs. But I don't want to penalize these schools from actually playing somebody instead of last week where nobody or the week before nobody's playing anybody, you know, hey, we're going to play Charlotte, okay. Like, that's not good for college football. It's a bye week. And that's what bothers me. I think if you get a governing body and, you know, an oversight committee, then maybe we just have great football playing great Football, and it's an NFL model because it just feels it's too loose right now. But if I get the top 50, if I get relegation, I mean, you could have. You could make this pretty incredible. But once again, there's nobody running. No, there's. There's nobody in the lighthouse here. The light's not on. Andrew in Tampa. Hi, Andrew. What's on your mind? Morning, Dan. Love your show. Thanks for having me on. I know. I just wanted to point out, I was watching the press conference from John Sumrall, the new coach at the University of Florida, last night, and he was apologizing for having to leave town to go back to New Orleans to finish coaching Tulane. Tulane is in their conference championship game. If they win that, they go to the college playoff. He also pointed out in the presser that he's good friends with Lane Kiffin. So I think amongst the fraternity, they're all talking to each other. I don't really see why we're bashing Lane for basically making the same request. Did he leverage staying at Ole Miss for the playoffs and saying that he would poach coaches and players? So that's where it's. It's not the same. Okay? It's not the same. Lane wanted to stay. You take a victory lap. You did a wonderful job. You took another job. Go to the other job. And the coaches all want this. They're fine with this. The coaches could change this. We talked about this yesterday. If they wanted to change this, they could. They're not going to. Thank you for the phone call. Yeah, Paulie. Also, Tulane and Florida aren't rivals. They're not in the same conference. You can go back to Tulane if you're the new coach of Florida and help them out. And you look even better if you win some games and get to the playoffs. You feel better if you're Florida about the coach. You got Lane Kiffin and lsu. That's a totally different situation. LSU was in a panic mode after Kelly, and they needed Lane. They went all out. Martin in Atlanta. Hey, Martin. What's on your mind? I appreciate taking the call today. I want to push back a little bit because you reported last week that the Ole Miss administration wanted and demanded Lane announce his decision this upcoming weekend. And from all accounts, he didn't want to, but he's now forced to. And when they talk about him taking players by them, forcing him to make the decision, it opens up the transfer portal for all those Ole Miss players in five days. So this is. Martin. Martin. Don't you think LSU Wanted him to make this decision because you got recruiting, early recruiting going on. I mean, let. Come on. I can put blame on a lot of people here, but I can't sit here and say this is all Ole Miss's problem because they gave him a deadline here. Lane Kiffin denied that, though. I mean, this was reported by every outlet out there that they wanted Lane Kiffin. Lane Kiffin went on McAfee and said that wasn't true. And you believe what he said? Well, I don't know. What am I supposed to believe? Should I believe that he talked to God and he made his decision? Like, what am I supposed to believe in a situation like this? If he said there wasn't a deadline, then I'm going to take him at his word. Okay, well, thank you for accepting the call. All right. Thank you, Martin. Yeah. And once again, yes, we've invited Lane Kiffin on. Everybody keeps saying, you're talking tough. I have no problem asking Lane Kiffin questions. Yeah. Dylan, obviously, LSE wants him as soon as possible, but it is advent, or it would be advantageous for them from a recruiting standpoint if he did stay and won a title with Ole Miss, I would think. Right. I don't know. If a recruit goes, oh, my gosh, look at what he did at Ole Miss. Can't wait to join him at lsu. I don't know that, because then I'd have to understand, you know, the recruit and what's important. Hey, you want a national title someplace else? LSU's won national titles. Ole Miss hasn't. Like I expect him to win a national title at lsu. Ed Orgeron, Les Miles, Nick Saban. This has happened, so it shouldn't be a shock. Yes, Paulie. And the early signing period is coming right up. So let's say there was some scenario where Lane Kiffin was allowed to stay at Ole Miss and coach while having an agreement to be the next coach at lsu. He's gonna be coaching, and as soon as he gets off the field, he's be calling LSU recruits, and it can't work that way. Yeah. And let's say you had a new rule. Let's say, Dan, that rule you talked about of, like, let's say you couldn't hire your next coach until January 15, but LSU wants to know that they have lane Kiffin on November 28th. So Ole Miss has got Lane Kiffin and he's coaching his way through the season, waiting for Jan. 15, but he's got a verbal agreement in place with LSU. They're going to want him to recruit for LSU for the next two months behind the scenes. And Ole Miss is going to want him to recruit now. So, like he's going to recruit the same player and go, well, I don't know, maybe you go to Ole Miss, but I won't be there. But if you want to go to lsu, all joining there. Yes. Yes. Dylan, I think I have a solution. You make a deal ahead of time that you can only get the LSU job if you win the title with Ole Miss and simultaneously recruit for those schools. Yeah. Yes, Todd, I believe Lane Kiffin spoke with God and God said, you can't say no to a place called Death Valley. And he said, oh, my God, I got to take this job. I'm going to the Tigers. I'm paraphrasing, but I think that's not a conversation, not a direct quote, don't quote, never quote me on the Lord. It's called. That's funny. I thought he spoke to him directly, Todd. So just paraphrasing. Paraphrasing the concept of Linkifin and the Lord. You've got to go there because it's Death Valley. So you can't say no to. All right. Everybody's fired up about this. Lane Kiffin and college football and. All right. We'll continue to take some phone calls on this. We're going to take a break. Devin McCourty on are the Patriots anywhere near to being hated? Are they that good? We'll talk to him coming up next. Here.

Devin McCourty joins us. He was on the call last night. Giants, Patriots, and that was on Westwood One Radio. You can also catch him on Football Night in America. That'll be Sunday. They started 7 Eastern. Texans and the Chiefs kick off at 8:20 Eastern on NBC. And Peacock, if you were on Ole Miss right now and you took a team vote of keeping Lane Kiffin on as your coach in the playoffs, you would vote how I would vote to keep him on. I think as a young player, when I was in college, the opportunity to win a national championship, I would want everything to stay as much of the same as it could be. And I think if I was those guys, I would also be planning for what's next. Do I want to stay at Ole Miss? Do I want to leave? But here in the now, I would say let's go win a national championship and then decide what happens next. Yeah, but he's basically saying he can't win a national title at Ole Miss. That's why he's going to lsu. If the money is around the same and LSU has better resources that he can't win a national title with you, even though you're going to be in the College Football Playoff. But I think the hard thing is. But then who coaches you like, those guys that are on staff. If you stay, there's no promise that the next coach that comes in is going to be able to coach. I remember my senior year, Cincinnati makes it to a BCS bowl game. They're going to play against the Florida Gators. Brian Kelly leaves and goes to Notre Dame. It's a whole mess the whole time leading up to the game. And those guys on Cincinnati, I trained with them. They felt like if he stayed, they would have beat Florida. I disagree. But they had a better chance knowing their staff would still be intact. But how many players nowadays go to a college or they go to play for a coach? You go to play for a coach. There's no doubt about it. I just think you. You get sold on the college, but when you get there, right away, you see life's about football and everything else comes after that. And that Goes for all major sports. So you better like that coach and he better like you if you're going to stay there and play. Okay. As a former defensive back and a well decorated defensive back, Jackson Dart is running down the sidelines. And you're taught to do what if you see him maybe kind of sort of still in bounds? Yeah. I mean, for one, what a hit last night. But, but the thing is, I was just talking about this earlier. You study film. So when you look at the film as a db, as a linebacker, I would come into the game saying, if Jackson darts on the sideline, we need to be go. We need to be ready to go over there and take Jackson Dart out because the film has showed us he's probably not stepping out of bounds. And me being in New England for 13 years, I'm pretty sure they went over that and said when this guy gets on the sideline, don't break stride, don't slow down because he's probably not stepping out of bounds. And that's exactly what the play was last night. But then after the game he said, this is how I play. This is. I'm going to continue to play this way. What advice would you give him having witnessed that hit in person and having played, you know, defensive back for 13 years? I would tell him if he's really going to do that, I would tell him he's a damn fool. Like, it's just, it's not going to last in the NFL. I think a part of that was, I'm not going to back down. I'm going to say all of this. I do believe he's going to change some things up because I think even as a teammate, if I'm on the offensive line, my job is to protect you. I need you to help me protect you. I don't want to get fined and get 15 yard penalties because we're attacking guys for hitting you when you should just step out. So I do think he'll make the adjustment he needs to be out there. I think the speed surprises him sometimes. He thinks he has a step and then the next thing he knows he's getting hit because these guys are a lot faster. America seems in love with Drake May. Everybody change. How does that change? Where we. We've seen this with New England quarterbacks before where, hey, what a great story. And then all of a sudden they turn on you. What, what, how long does that last? Where Drake May and the Patriots playing this well, that it's still a good story and everybody likes Drake May. I think it Lasts. I think that the unique thing about Drake May, I got to be up there doing the preseason games his rookie year was this kid is the youngest of a bunch of brothers who were really good in sports. His brother Luke May won a national championship with North Carolina as a basketball player. And he talked about it. He's like, they used to beat me up. They said. They used to punish me. They used to like everything was hard for him. And I think you can see his teammates love that about him. He's so poised. Nothing bothers him. And I think the. The unique thing about Drake May is the same thing that Mac Jones had his rookie year is the offensive coordinator, Josh McDaniels. I think Josh will be there longer than just his rookie year like Mac Jones had to go through. I think this is a great relationship and I think he has a chance to be there for a while and develop Drake May. And I've talked to Josh. He's in love with Drake May just, just as much as the rest of us. How threatening are the Patriots? I think in a AFC this year where it's wide open, the Patriots are, are just as good as anybody. They have right now, the best chance to me, because being there last night, that atmosphere is different. Different than even when I was there. When I was there, it was. We're expected to be here. We'll show up in the AFC championship and cheer if the game's close. We'll go crazy and help you out. Being in an atmosphere after two bad seasons, you could see the fans were like, man, we. We thought we were going to have to wait maybe 15 years to be good again. And their energy, the way they're showing up to the stadium early, staying the whole game, I think they feel like, hey, we got to give this team this boost because we had no idea we'd be this good right now. Talking to Devin McCourty, he works for Football Night in America. Three time Super bowl champ with the Patriots three time all probably Football Night in America. They will give you the Texans and the Chiefs and coverage starts at 7 Eastern. What advice would you give Drake May about playoff football as opposed to regular season football? I would tell him exactly what I heard for 13 years. Belichick would come in and he would say, let me just dispel all these stupid myths out there. Like the whole experience matters. Experience doesn't matter at all. Who's playing the best football is what matters. And he would always tell us, do more. Put everything else in a draw, watch the extra film, do all those little Things because if you can play your best football, no matter if you're a rookie, first year, 12 year vet, no matter if you've played in the playoffs before, if you've never played in the playoffs, he would tell you if you go and play good ball, that's what determines your playoff journey. Not that you played in 20 games or 10 games no one cares about. That would be the first thing I told him. Ever late for a meeting with the Patriots? Nah, man, they cut people and sent people home. Anyway. I wanted my money. Wait, have you, did you witness somebody getting cut? Yeah, we had. We had a guy who came late Saturday, my second year, second or third year, and they didn't cut him that Saturday, but Tuesday after the Sunday game he was inactive and the next Tuesday he was gone. And I saw guys get sent home for being late all the time. Who told us the story about they faked being in a car accident because they were going to be late with the Patriots. And do you remember that? Paulie, we're checking. Was that Scott Zolak or something? I don't. I forget who we had on that Sounds like a Zolak story. Yeah, because you had to have a good story because if you didn't, you were going to be in trouble and especially if you were a secondary guy on that team. Dan, he told us a story. It was a former Patriots O lineman, Rich Omberger. He said he intentionally got into an accident because he knew he was late and he wanted a real excuse. We had a guy, Kyle Arrington, car, it was snowed, his car couldn't get out of the parking lot. He hitchhiked to work just in fear of being late. Went out on the road and stood there and asked somebody, hey, I played for the Patriots, you mind dropping me off up the street at a Patriot play? So the AFC is open right now, it feels like, and if the Patriots get the home field advantage, I don't think they're in. The Chiefs don't make the playoffs or the Ravens don't make the playoffs or even if they do, doesn't feel like anybody scares them. Including the Buffalo Bills, who they have coming up this next game. Yeah, I think they already went to Buffalo and won and I think right now they've gotten his rhythm and I think even going off last week they go play Cincinnati and it just felt like this past week Vrabel was just tearing into him. And I don't know that for sure, but the way they came out Monday night felt like it was a response to them feeling like, they didn't play their best ball the week before in Cincinnati. And I think I remember being on those teams that made that run. It was all about after Thanksgiving, how did we just play our best football. We had seasons where we didn't give up a second half touchdown in games. You know, from the second week in December all the way through, winning a Super bowl, like those things that you can do and be special in, that makes a difference. And this team just feels like they're moving in that direction. More concerned about the Chiefs or the Eagles? I'm more concerned about the Eagles, I think, I think for the Chiefs, the truth of the matter is everyone else around them just got better. I think this Chiefs team is actually better than the team last year that made it to the Super Bowl. But the Broncos are better, the Chargers are better, The Indianapolis Colt. Like you look at all these other teams that got better. The Eagles, to me, they're just underachieving. And I, I, I kind of was like, hey, don't get too concerned. Until last week when I watched Chicago beat Philly at what Philly does the best. Their defensive line, their front, they pushed them around. That was alarming for me, and I think they need to fix that right away. Always good to talk to you. Thanks for joining us. Thank you, Devin. Anytime, man. Good talking to you. Devin McCourty, NBC Football Night in America won three Super Bowls with the Patriots. They got Texans, Chiefs, and those are two teams. It feels like one's going up the escalator and the other one's coming down. And we talked about this a few weeks ago. I said, keep an eye on the Texans because they are coming now. I did think the Ravens were coming too. And then having, you know, watching them against the Bengals, Joe Burrow hasn't played in months. And I'm thinking, okay, now you're going to see the Ravens. Here you go. And then we didn't see them, but we did see Joe Burrow. A couple of phone calls in here. Keith and Charlotte. Hi, Keith. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan. So I have a parenting question for you. So went to the game on Sunday here in Charlotte. Awesome game. Great to see the Panthers pull that out. So went to the game with my boys, started raining, was maybe lower 40s, upper 30s. And their, their lips started to turn blue. And I noticed that, yeah, again, their lips were turning blue. And I asked them if they wanted to go and stay below. They said no, which was, made me a proud dad. But they wanted to stay out. And my bad for my bad dad. For threatening them with hypothermia and long term damage. Listen, they pulled off one of the most exciting wins I've seen in a long time there. Ten years probably, give or take. And it was really awesome to experience that with my boys, so I think it was worth it. But I don't know if my mom. Mama was super proud of me either. So, okay, how did it go when you got home? Because as long as the kids don't rat you out, then. Then you're good. But. And you know, it's. I mean, nobody's got frostbite. I mean, nobody lost any body parts, correct? No, no body parts were lost. I mean, we. We were having fun. Soon as the game really started getting going again in that third quarter and balls going back and forth, we were getting excited and kind of helped us stay warm. But man, it was raining hard, Dan. It was really raining hard and it was getting cold out there. Yeah. But you know what? That's a great experience. You're gonna always have that. You'll always have that with your boys. And that's pretty cool. And if mom's okay with it, then I'd say that's a win for you. Thanks, Dan. I think so too. And it was an awesome game. And again, they hadn't seen a game like that ever, so it was really fun. Thank you, Keith. You know, once again, your kids can rat you out. And my wife, every single August, September would turn off cable because she wanted the kids to ease into the school year. There's no TV and it was a Saturday. And I was like. My wife was like, you know, because I was doing Sports center, she was like, take the kids out, go do something with them. I'm like, all right. We drove by Hooters and I thought, you know what, it's around 11:30, 11:35. Get in there, maybe have lunch, maybe watch early kickoff or two. So I got my son, I got my three daughters, and I said, look, let's not tell mom where we went. And seemed like everybody understood my son all of a sudden realized that orange was his favorite color. And we get home and you always have to worry about the weakest link. The youngest one, she walks in and says, we're not supposed to tell you. We went to Hooters Narc. Yeah, she was known as the narc from then on. My wife goes, what are you doing? I said, hun, they're getting ready for school. I'm a big time sports anchor at espn. I gotta watch these games. And she Said, well, it's hard to send the message if you're not listening to the message. I said, you know what I do next time? I leave them at home and I go to Hooterson. Message sent loud and clear. Yes, Paul, I offer a past caller with the kids. And I checked WebMD. Blue Lips is an early sign of hypothermia, not like middle or late stage hypothermia. So I think it's just good parenting. That's all that is. Was it. Was it like Carolina blue lips that they had like a Richard Petty blue? How deep was it? Yes. Marvin, as a husband, do you feel sometimes like you're the biggest kid in the house? Yes, because my son's quick to say, we'll be in trouble. Who is we? You don't pay any bills in this. Yeah, not in trouble. Like, no, you're in trouble. He can disavow any knowledge. He can say to mom, I didn't want to do it, but there are times when it's like, oh, my, do not tell your mother because she's gonna have my head. But all I know is if I didn't say that to my kids, hey, don't tell mom. Then they probably wouldn't have told her. It was the youngest. And she walked. As soon as she walks in, she first one in, hey, we're not supposed to tell you we went to Hooters. And then I walk in and my wife is like, hooters? I said, yeah, I think you'd have been okay if it was just a sports bar. I think you would have it have been light or a Twin Peaks, maybe. Was your youngest old enough to appreciate or understand why this had to be a secret as to like, what? What is the problem? No saying where we were? No, no, I don't think so. I wasn't explaining things, you know, I didn't have to. I just remember my son what was ordering, and he didn't even look at the menu. He just stared at the waitress there. And I went, oh, this probably isn't going to turn out great when I get home. Okay, let's take a break. More phone calls coming up. We're back after this Dan Patrick show.

Amazon Five Star Theater presents Real customer reviews performed by Ed Helms. Tonight's review, tactical Jacket. I was living a simple life. Didn't get out much. Then I bought this jacket and everything changed. Women came flocking to me from lands domestic and foreign. I bought a motorcycle, started hanging out with drug dealers, but like rich ones and we flew helicopters. I ended up taking down a communist regime with a band of rebels. On the 245 day sailboat voyage home, I was attacked by a shark. I knew it was the jacket he was after. I tossed it, giving up the jacket in exchange for my life. I'm alive today, but jacketless. We'll buy this jacket again soon. 5 stars Amazon Customer 69 thank you for listening to Amazon 5 star theater looking for unforgettable gifts this holiday season?

Matt in Ohio. Hi Matt. What's on your mind today? Hey guys. Dan, glad you're feeling better. I'm kind of going through what you were going through. It's great. I'm kind of a uniform guy and I wanted to throw a couple things out there. I was basking in the New England look last night. So I had a potential poll question. Which teams would you want to see come back with their throwbacks equals Kelly green? The Patriots, Broncos, Tampa or the Seahawks? And then the one other thing I had was a trivia question that I'm sure you guys were will nail here. There's one city that all three major sports teams wear the same colors. Okay. Yeah, Paul. Pittsburgh. Right? You guys will get it. Yeah. Yeah. I knew Paul. Was that Paulie. Yeah. He'd nailed it. I knew it. He's part of the uniform police. Yeah. Throwback uniforms. Marvin, you know your uniforms. Of all the ones that we can bring back, which ones would you. I think the most realistic would be the Kelly Green because it's not that different than what they have now. They just got to change the color. I don't know if that's green or navy blue or black when the Eagles play. Yeah. Because you have the other. You know, I always think of Randall Cunningham. Mike Quick, you know, that green was awesome. I love that green. This one, I don't know what it is. It's just dark. Dylan, do you have a uniform? A let's bring that uniform back. Well, my favorite all time is I think the powder blue Cardinals jerseys which I believe they did bring back in the rotation a few years ago. Baseball? Yeah, baseball. Are we talking just NFL? Yeah. Those were the Suggestions that were given. I really, I do like the Seahawks. I like the old Seahawks logo too, actually. Maybe Falcons. Shockingly, I'm going to go with the 77 Orange Crush with the royal blue and R. Yeah, Paulie. I would say I'm going to go off the board a little bit. The Atlanta Falcons go back to the early 80s. Steve Bartkowski, William Andrews. Because right now the Falcons are as nondescript as it gets. They look like an AI Said, create an NFL uniform and they're bland. David in Ohio. Hi, David. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan. Hey. I placed a bet with Todd at the beginning of the season that the Steelers would have more wins than his Broncos. That doesn't appear likely. So I didn't know if Todd had a pie in mind that I would be taking to the face for the show. Todd, you have a suggestion for David in Ohio? I would say, because it's the Bronco. Some kind of orange marmalade pie. Any kind of pie that has like an orange or a blue blueberry would be the next choice. Something that has to have the Bronco colors in it would be fabulous. What about pumpkin pie? There's okay kind of an orange tint. Anything that's got some kind of orange or blue in it. That would make sense. And that's very nice that he admitted and brought up something that happened a while ago with the, with the Adam in Virginia. Hi, Adam. What's on your mind? Hey, Dan. First time, long time. 57150 and yeah, I wanted to call and try to chime in from the other side of the fence here on the Wayne Kiffin drama. I'll preface this by saying if you had told me prior to hiring Lane that we're going to get several 10 win seasons and go to our first playoff and revitalize the program, but in exchange for that, he's going to leave the campus in flames and take a job at lsu. I still think most logical Ole Miss fans probably would have signed up for that. I mean, when I was in school, it was Coach O and Houston Nut. I mean, I think we were.08 in the SEC twice while I was in school. So to have this run we've been on, it's been pretty amazing. But for everyone to call in and say this is a systematic problem or it's not really Lane's fault. I mean, the reality is is that, you know, we got this documentary out there that's been, you know, portraying Lane as this cleaned up guy. And it has everything to do with Ole Miss but now we know that soon as Brian Kelly was fired on, you know, in October, he's been behind the scenes, you know, working both angles here. And you know, our athletic director and Lane had been discussions about streamlining our recruitment pipeline, data infrastructure, restructuring nil code contracts, and kind of led us along this whole time only to then, you know, take the job at lsu. And it just seems like a lot of people are making it seem like Lane is, is a victim of the process here. And the reality is that, you know, he sparked this thing and continued to pour gasoline on it. Well, I mean, once again we discuss, I hope, all angles with this, the inner workings there with him and the athletic director. I don't care. He made a decision, he left. That's all. He's not a victim. College football needs to change this and hopefully that prevents other coaches from leaving their teams while they're in the playoffs. Yes. Marvin, are there any schools that are safe as far as if you're the coach at Ohio State or Alabama, you don't have to worry about your coach going anywhere else but any other school safer. Texas A and M. You have to worry about Mike Elko, right? Yeah. Because Penn State was recruiting him hard. In Penn State, as I've said before, you can't fire James Franklin during the season without having somebody that is going to be in the on deck circle. And maybe, maybe you get Kalani Sataki, the BYU head coach who by the way has a game against Texas Tech coming up this weekend. And then I saw a report where there's mutual interest. BYU legend Steve Young will join us. How would he feel if his head coach was going to take another job while they're getting ready for a playoff game? He'll join us. Coming up, more phone calls as well. Final hour in this Tuesday, right after this. Okay, only 10 more presents to wrap. You're almost at the finish line. But first. There, the last one.
