It's only natural. You see, these golfers mistaken the true green lawns for an actual golf course. Have you noticed that?
- [00:41]
Todd

Dan
No, no, I'm serious. They're the official lawn care treatment provider the PGA Tour, so they know what it takes to get golf course quality lawns.

Todd
I can't tell you how many times I've spilled something on my shirt right before walking out the door. And it's always while I'm wearing a white shirt too. And somehow that's the exact moment I realize I'm out of stain remover and I don't have another clean shirt to change into. Unpredictable moments like that are part of everyday life.

Dan
All right guys, two words for you. Prostate exam. Yeah, you just clenched up a little bit. Are you imagining the finger right now? Yeah, relax. Prostate cancer screening starts with a simple finger free blood test. Around one in eight men in the United States will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. But that's no reason to re clench when caught early. At localized or even regional stages, prostate cancer can have over a 99% five year relative survival rate. Did your tight end just relax? Good. If you're over 40, 40 or older and have a prostate visit, relax. It's a blood test.com you'll find out if a PSA blood test is right for you. The PSA blood test can be the first step in screening. Talk to your doctor to evaluate your risk, determine when to get tested, and discuss screening options and the next steps. Sponsored by Novartis, you are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. It's Hour two on this Thursday Dan and the Dan It's Dan Patrick Show. We'll check in with Mike Silver, the athletic columnist, and he had a lengthy article, a deep dive on the Raiders situation and Max Crosby's future there. He'll join us. Coming up. Jay Glazer next hour. He'll give us some thoughts on Aaron Rodgers future, also some of the other quarterbacks and where they might be headed. 8773-DP-SHoSH Email Address dp@danpatrick.com Twitter Handle DP:SHoSHoSH Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show. And we have a new poll question here for hour two and we we'll get to your phone calls as well. Seaton, would you give me an update on the hey, Todd, what are you doing in here? Did you forget to give me some paperwork? Okay. All right, Todd Seaton, what's the poll question for? Well, we'll clean up our two or hour one and move to hour two.
- [03:44]
Marvin
This is the Lou Holtz poll question. When you are putting your pants on, you do left leg first, right leg first two and jump or need a fulcrum are your options right now? Left leg first has about 57% of that vote, followed by right leg first, the two and jump, aka the Paul Pabst has 4.1%. That's about 40 people. My people, Todd and the need a fulcrum crew that's at about a dozen people.
- [04:10]
Dan
Yeah, I'm going to need to see both of you guys in action, getting into your respective pants. Need a fulcrum. Some of the headlines here the Patriots have moved on from Stefan Diggs, the Rams pick up Trent McDuffie, the defensive back from the Chiefs, and Lou Holtz passing away at the age of of 89. I've been talking about the Raiders a lot and much to the chagrin of Raider fans because I've been talking about you're going to draft Fernando Mendoza. Just don't recreate what happened with the Colts with Andrew Luck where they didn't have a good offensive line for a while and then by the time they did, he was ready to retire. But Mike Silver has an article, he is a senior national writer for the Athletic and this has to do with Max Crosby and Max's future. Max was not happy when he was I don't think he was a healthy scratch, but he did want to play in those last two games. The Raiders wanted to make sure that they they were tanking. They wanted to make sure they got Fernando Mendoza. Well, mission accomplished. But what's the future of Max Crosby? Michael Silver back on the program. Mike, good to talk to you again. If you were going to sum up the state of the Raiders, how would you do that? In a couple of sentences.
- [05:30]
Dan Patrick
I'll do it even quicker. They're a mess. And, Dan, that's usually the case when A team goes 4 and 13 and 3 and 14 and fires coaches after each season. But, yeah, in this case, they don't have a lot of valuable trade assets. They're obviously in need of a rebuild. And so, just on paper, taking the emotion out of it, it does make sense to. To think about trading Max Crosby. They're asking for a Micah Parsons like Hall. I think that's probably a little ambitious, but there are many teams trying to get Max Crosby, and he's getting older. He would be going on his sixth head coach, if you count Rich Versace, who had a long interim stint. And, you know, he definitely wants out of there. So, you know, in some ways, this is a simple equation. He wants to go, they need assets, and to get younger. We'll see if they pull the trigger soon or if this drags on a little bit.
- [06:37]
Dan
Okay, give me the teams at the front of the line for Max.
- [06:41]
Dan Patrick
You know, I'm not exactly sure which teams. My colleague Diana Rossini has been all over this, and I'm sure she will be at the forefront, you know, in the coming days. I know that it makes sense for Max Crosby that he wants to go to a team that has a chance to contend, something that has not been the case during his Raiders tenure. They did sneak into the playoffs during that interim passage year. Other than that, it's been rough. But, you know, I look at teams like, say, the Patriots, the Ravens. There's been a lot of talk about the Bears, I think the Cowboys, who have signaled a willingness to be aggressive, you know, coming off of the Parsons trade and then going out and getting Quinn Williams would be a team that I'd love at, but, you know, it's not like he has veto power. You know, he could. He could threaten to retire if it was a. Another situation that he thought was pretty desperate. I thought the Raiders might be working with him and his agent a little, you know, more blatantly here and trying to find a spot. Their attitude seems to be, hey, we're just going to take the best deal, so we'll see how it plays out.
- [07:55]
Dan
And the Raiders are set on Mendoza, Correct? No matter.
- [07:58]
Dan Patrick
Yes.
- [07:58]
Dan
What. What they're offered, you know, I think
- [08:02]
Dan Patrick
if the jets wanted to do something insane, right, and, and give up tons and tons of capital, they would listen for sure. And the jets are setting it too, so that probably makes the most sense. So I would say Mendoza, no matter what, assuming they, you know, are set on drafting somebody, you could make a case. If they're offered something massive, they would listen. But yeah, I would strongly expect Mendoza to be the guy and, you know, they have a chance to try to do what they should have done last year and be honest about their situation, you know, build it back up and try to do it a more organic way. Last year was trying to split the difference, and we saw how that worked out.
- [08:53]
Dan
How did the Raiders get here?
- [08:56]
Dan Patrick
You know, it starts at the top. Dan and I obviously covered Al Davis really closely. You know, got banned from the facility and from the locker room on several occasions. It was not, you know, was not milk and honey, but, you know, I always had so much respect for Al Davis being one of the, the icons of football and obviously had a lot of football knowledge. There were organizational issues that, you know, kept them from being able to recapture that past glory. And really, since that 2002 run to the super bowl, they've only been to the playoffs twice and have not won a playoff game. So, you know, that whole Raider commitment to excellence thing, that is a relic. And a lot of young people have no idea what those slogans would possibly stand for. You know, Mark Davis was not a football icon. He was like many next generation owners, just kind of, you know, born into it. He's tried to find his way. So I do think it, it starts at the top. The column I wrote in the Athletic explores some of the other dysfunction in that building. And now you have Mark Davis doing something which on paper I think most people would agree is an exciting thing. He's turning to Tom Brady, one of the most ruthless comp competitors and greatest winners I've ever seen in any sport, and saying, tom, you're a minority owner. Give me the blueprint. But Brady's not there. He's working for Fox. He's living in Florida, as is his prerogative. He's got Alex Guerrero, who's someone he's close to in the building as the wellness coordinator, but sounds like Alex Guerrero from talking to players and coaches and other people in that building is, you know, presenting himself as someone far more powerful. He's certainly perceived as a guy who will go running to Brady with any, anything he sees or hears. And that does not seem to be a great environment and it's part of the equation when it comes to Max Crosby's desire to get out of there.
- [11:09]
Dan
But Tom Brady is running the Raiders.
- [11:13]
Dan Patrick
I mean, Mark Davis said it, you know, that's kind of what we all believed last year. And then when they fired Pete Carroll, Mark Davis issued a statement and said general manager John Spitek will lead this search all football operations with Tom Brady. So, you know, you've got a first time general manager in Spitec who's working hard, trying to do a tough job, but it's, you know, Mark Davis came out and said, tom Brady's doing it too. So again, on paper, that's exciting. Tom Brady, you know, I've seen him defy odds and galvanize people around him in a way that is mind boggling. And, you know, I think it's just hard in the NFL for us, you know, watching this from the outside to think, you know, someone could do that from afar. And I can't tell Tom Brady how to live his life. He's getting paid a lot of money to, to be a broadcaster, he's a father, he's, you know, got a residence across the country. But, you know, I think what's hard for people in that building is when somebody is going around kind of acting like, hey, I'm the pipeline to Tom, but doesn't have those credentials on the football side. That's. That's kind of a recipe for confusion.
- [12:35]
Dan
He's Michael Silver, senior national writer for the Athletic. Before I let you go, I was always wondering about this. It felt like Brady was a mentor to Shador Sanders, that Dion had asked Tom to kind of help Shador. And then Tom's in a position to draft Shador Sanders on a team that needed a quarterback or maybe develop a quarterback. And they didn't. They passed over Shador, you know, every single round there. I. It just seemed strange that Tom knew Shador, he's in a position to draft Shador and didn't pull the trigger on that. Why?
- [13:13]
Dan Patrick
Well, you know, that goes back to the. Is Tom all in or is Tom not all in? If I recall, times comment after Chidor didn't get drafted was kind of like, yo, I'm not in charge of that. And so, you know, again, and that may be true and well meaning, right? Tom at the time might have been like, hey, look, I'm not going to come in and try to be the overlord of this organization. I'm going to let John Spytak and Pete Carroll and my football people do what they think is Best. You know, now it seems to be more blatant. Mark Davis is coming out and saying it, so you kind of have to own it. But, yeah, I think, Dan, that goes back to everything that we're talking about. Is Tom Brady actually all in? Is he running it? What message are people inside the building getting about the power structure and the vision and how it's playing out? So it's probably a positive development that Mark Davis tried to spell it out and that, you know, and that they have a coach who they, in theory, can try to build something with. And I love Pete Carroll. He's literally one of the greatest coaches of his generation. I think he's hall of Famer, so I don't want to in any way say that hiring Pete Carroll, you know, was a negative, but it kind of flew in the face of what their situation was, given his age and his desire to win immediately, and it obviously didn't work.
- [14:40]
Dan
Good stuff. As always, Mike, good to talk to you. Thanks for joining us.
- [14:44]
Dan Patrick
Thank you, Dan.
- [14:45]
Dan
That's Michael Silver, senior national writer for the Athletic. You read the article, and you're like, oh, boy. And it's not just about Max Crosby, but really, that's the microcosm of how it feels like the organization is being run. Fernando Mendoza, that's a big, big lift for this franchise that you. You got somebody that you want to tune in and watch. I would trade Max Crosby. You're not ready to win now. He doesn't want to be there. I don't know what you can get for him. You're not getting a Micah Parsons hole, but, you know, Michael said maybe the Cowboys. So the Cowboys just had this with Micah Parsons and let him go, and it felt like they made the right decision. You know, in retrospect, I can side with Jerry Jones now. I. I'm finding more information out about that whole scenario and Micah, how he was viewed. Did teammates like him? You know, so there's a. There's a lot more. I think that's. Maybe that will surface, but I did find that out recently, and they made the right decision. I. I believe that. I just don't know. Do you then now go out and get Max Crosby and give up some of the things that you got for Michael Parsons. I wouldn't. I mean, that defense is really suspect, but I. The secondary is what I would try to firm up. I. I would have said to the Kansas City Chiefs, hey, Trent McDuffie, we'd love to have him. I don't know if you could get into a bidding War there with the Rams. But if I'm. Well, a lot of teams, there aren't many great cornerbacks where you go, that guy's a lockdown cornerback and at that age, so. But Mike's Gollum's available at the Athletic Chooch in Toledo. Hey, Chooch.
- [16:35]
Dan Patrick
Hey, good morning. DP. Six foot, 260. I, I, first of all, I wanted to say I, I find it interesting that you equate your flatulence with the Cleveland Browns. I wanted a little explanation on that. But I, as I'm listening to everybody and you know, with regards to Lou Holtz and the Browns, I did want to get your opinion on our new head coach with the Browns. By the way, I do put my dress shoes on and dress socks on before I go right leg first. But back to, back to that as I Blue Holtz was my hero. Between 1988 and 1989, Notre Dame was unbelievable. The Cleveland Browns had a couple of opportunities to get into the big show. And since that decade, it's been a horrible existence for me. A lot of therapy. I just, I feel like. And I'm skipping over to college football now. I feel like we're losing that one component that Lou always preached, and that's the development of young men. And with all of these payments and now Missouri with state tax exemptions, everything's all over the place. And you know, my young son says, dad, is college football turning into pro football? And I just, I, I feel like we're losing that.
- [18:02]
Dan
It's more of a mess. Like the NFL isn't a mess. Like they have complete control and thanks for the phone call. College football is a mess. It is. And blame this on, you know, the, the leaders in college football, athletic directors, presidents. You don't have rules. And if, if you have rules, they're not enforced. They're vague. It just became, how did we get here? And it didn't take long. And we don't even know what the end game is. I know the president is inviting people to the White House. I think that might be today or tomorrow. And they want to talk about this. This is what college football, from what I'm told, is really hoping for, that Congress gets involved. Congress has other things to worry about right now, not nil. How about you leaders, you educators? Why don't you guys figure this out? Because you're the ones that allowed this to happen right in front of you, all of you. Nobody cares about, you know, geographical alignment. Nobody cares about conferences. Like are. Do kids even go to class anymore? I brought this up. I can't imagine somebody being academically ineligible. I. It used to be that happened a lot. I haven't heard about it in years. That, hey, somebody didn't qualify, somebody's academically ineligible. I mean, there was a player who went six years and didn't graduate. How does that happen? Yes, Marvin, you know how much they're
- [19:46]
Todd
paying that kid that's got a 1.7 GPA?
- [19:48]
Dan
I know.
- [19:48]
Todd
Oh, he's playing.
- [19:49]
Dan
I know. Yeah, Paul.
- [19:50]
Paulie
And vice versa. Someone graduates in four years, but they're in their sixth year playing college football. Are they attending classes? Do they have to?
- [19:57]
Dan
I don't even know. I don't even know. I really don't. Yes.
- [20:00]
Marvin
Isn't that kind of why school should be for students and athletics should be for athletes?
- [20:06]
Dan
That's been an argument for a long time because I said they're not student athletes. They're athletic students.
- [20:12]
Marvin
Let the students go to school and let the athletes athlete.
- [20:16]
Dan
If this is what your major is, then let you. I'm going to let you major in. I have a broadcasting school. Your major is sportscasting. Your degree is in sportscasting. We're not kidding anybody. You still have to take core classes. Your degree is in sportscasting. Take a break here. We're going to talk to Jay Glazer. He'll join us next hour. More of your phone calls as well.

- [24:00]
Todd
Come on.
- [24:01]
Dan
No, no, I'm serious. Happens all the time. And you know they're the official lawn care treatment provider, the PGA Tour. So they know what it takes to get golf course quality lawns.
- [24:11]
Marvin
So you're saying we could host a tournament out back?
- [24:13]
Dan
No, I mean we could make. Yeah, I guess we can. If Trugreen's doing all the work. No one makes it easier. They handle the treatments, the timing, everything.
- [24:22]

I feel like you see them everywhere.
- [24:24]

Yeah. Beautiful lawns. And you know it's True Green America's number one lawn care company. And chances are they're already in your neighborhood.

- [24:34]
Dan
I didn't think you were your wife, Will or your son. Get your own golf course. Quality lawn@trugreen.com truegreen.com Let the pros handle the lawn. Just don't be surprised when golfers show up. The rams have traded nine of their last 10 first round picks. Go back to 2017. They didn't have a first round pick because they traded it to the Titans the year before to move up and take Jared Goff. 2018 traded the first round pick to the Patriots for Brandon Cooks. 2019, traded their first round pick to the Falcons for more picks. 2020 and 2021 traded their first round picks to the Jags in a trade for Jalen Ramsey. 2022, 2023 first round pick went to the Lions along with Jared Goff. They got Matthew Stafford. 2024 they used their first round pick on Jared Verse. 2025 traded their first round pick to the Falcons for a package of picks that included the Falcons first round pick this year. And now the Rams agreeing to trade their first round pick to the Chiefs for Trent McDuffie. So it's worked out for them, but their philosophy, they haven't changed their philosophy. It's first round picks. Okay, they're valuable, but let's get a sure thing.
- [25:56]
Todd
Now.
- [25:56]
Dan
Jared Verse turned out to be a very good defensive lineman. Jared Goff helped you get to a Super Bowl. Jared Goff helped you get Matthew Stafford. Jalen Ramsey helped you win a Super Bowl. You've, you've had proof of concept here with this over the last decade. And give credit to Les snead and Sean McVeigh, they were aggressive with this, but this was a glaring need because when you watch the Rams, they had everything to win the super bowl except for somebody who was going to lock down your best receiver. And if you're allowing quarterbacks throw for over 300 yards, three touchdowns against you, Sam Darnold, Bryce Young, Jalen hurts. I mean these Mac Jones, these aren't great quarterbacks that are carving you up. These are good quarterbacks and you're making them look great. They had a mission, they went out and got him. But if I'm Kansas City, could I have gotten more for Trent McDuffie? Now you're gonna have to pay him after next year or maybe this year coming up, but you're getting a really valuable player and that's what was surprising with Kansas City. Kansas City still believes they're winning now, but I don't know when Patrick Mahomes is coming back. I don't know what's going to happen at the tight end position. I mean, it feels like they're going to try to patch this together just to make the playoffs and then hope, you know, Mahomes is Mahomes and then maybe you could do some damage.
- [27:32]
Paulie
Yeah, Paul, going back to the rams Draft History, 2017, Round 3, Cooper Cup, 2016, Round 4, Tyler Higby, I think he's still on the roster. He's still a good player. They got a fifth rounder. Kyron Williams, the running back, very good career fifth rounder. Yeah, those are some cheap options.
- [27:52]
Dan
But that, that's the difference between an average franchise, a good one and a great one is I want to know what you do with your other draft picks. Because what happens is we focus on the first round. If you're die hard, then you're going to watch. Or maybe you only care about your team with the other, you know, two extra days with the draft. But this is where teams win championships. When you look back and you go, what, what round did they get him in? All free agent or they traded for him. You know, the Chiefs with Isaiah Pacheco, seventh round, that's where you win. Your first rounder has to hit. Has to. Especially if you're going to trade a lot, trade up to get somebody at quarterback. Has to hit. But these other draft picks, I mean that's where it's so important. You know, when you're getting a steal in the fifth round, sixth round, seventh round, everybody had the opportunity to take this person, but you made it work. And that's why the Chiefs have been so good. The Ravens for years were so good. It's not just that first round pick, it's what do you do with all those other picks. Stefan Diggs got released, got cut and he had a thousand yards this year. I didn't think he was threatening though. It's weird when I watch them play. That's what was amazing with Drake May, you know, really good running backs. I just didn't think he had like Hunter Henry is not scaring anybody. They didn't have that, oh my gosh, you got that guy. Now maybe that guy is A.J. brown because it certainly feels like A.J. brown is either going to end up on Buffalo or New England. And if I'm Philadelphia, I'm going to try to leverage that between two teams in the same division who may want the same guy but A.J. brown. All right, Drake May, now you got your guy. Now A.J. brown is the go to guy, but if I'm Josh Allen. I'm like, you know, we got some good tight ends and I love my running back, but could I get that guy? I could really use that guy. Yes.
- [30:08]
Marvin
I'm guessing, too, that Stefan Diggs is chasing a ring. At this point, wherever he's gonna sign, he wants to be on a contender, like maybe a Rams team or something like that. I don't know if they have the room for him necessarily or what their cap space is, all that crap. But you would imagine he's chasing a ring.
- [30:24]
Dan
Yes, but I didn't think he was a number one wide receiver, even though somebody had to be the number one receiver for the Patriots.
- [30:32]
Marvin
Yeah, but, like, I wouldn't think that wherever he was going, he would be the number one wide receiver. I would imagine that at this point in his career, he knows he's not that guy. New England was probably one of the only places that he would be treated that way. When it's like, well, who you are, Keisha Booty. You know, it's probably Stefan Diggs is going to be the one. But wherever he goes after that, who's a contender? They already got their guy. He would be just an. An addition. Right. And a. Probably a really good addition, too.
- [30:56]
Dan
The Aaron Rodgers situation. Now, it feels like there are some columns that are misleading, like Aaron Rodgers is holding up the Steelers. Again, the timeline. Well, he is a free agent, and from what Aaron has talked about, the Steelers haven't offered him a contract. I. If I'm the Steelers, I'm at least looking elsewhere. I'm exploring all options here. But Aaron made a surprised guest appearance on the Pat McAfee show yesterday.
- [31:26]
Dan Patrick
I've talked to Mike, I've talked to Omar. There's been no deadline that's been, you know, that's been put in front of me. There's no contract, you know, offer or anything, so there's nothing that I'm, you know, having to debate between. And I'm, you know, free agent and, you know, again, I'm. I'm enjoying my time with my wife and enjoying this part of the off season. And.
- [31:51]
Dan
And, you know, I think there's conversations
- [31:53]
Dan Patrick
to be had down the line. But. But right now I'm not.
- [31:58]
Dan
Not. There hasn't been any progressive conversation. Yeah. And it was June when he signed with the Steelers last year. Mike McCarthy knows Aaron. You don't have to get, you know, a get to know situation with your quarterback. And it feels early right now. I don't know if Will Howard is going to be. Get a chance to start the Ohio State quarterback, I don't know if you bring in Kurt Cousins, like, what? First of all, I'd like to know what are you doing? Because it feels like you're going to be 9, 8 again with or without Aaron Rodgers. Can you get your future quarterback? Is that future quarterback a quarterback who has played for another team? Is Kyler Murray a future quarterback? Malik Willis, future quarterback? So I would love to know what their philosophy is, because it feels like, here we go again. I don't think you're. I think you're just a better than little better than average team. And I gave you credit because of Tomlin was going to make you a little better than average, but you were going to make the playoffs and you weren't going to win. If I'm a Steeler fan at some point, I go, boy, we can really be proud that we are over five. We had a winning record and maybe we made the playoffs and we didn't win a playoff game. They're not threatening and that would be frustrating. And you're bringing in Mike McCarthy and do I think that that's a good hire? Yes. He's got a proven track record. He's good with offenses. I just look at that offense, I go, I don't like your weapons. And then you're going to put Aaron Rodgers back there again. Okay, what am I getting? Like, what is the ceiling? I kind of know what the floor is. I'd like to know what the ceiling is. Yes.
- [33:57]
Paulie
Paulie, could you see Rogers being the backup plan for a number of teams? Like, if it doesn't work out with the draft and free agency, I don't think he.
- [34:06]
Dan
Oh, back up, but still be a starter.
- [34:08]
Paulie
Backup plan for the quarterback position. Like, if Minnesota doesn't find a better replacement, then they'll go to Rogers later.
- [34:15]
Dan
Process okay.
- [34:16]
Paulie
Starter but not okay.
- [34:18]
Dan
That's where I was confused because he's going to play. He's not going to be a backup. He's going to be the starter. But if you can't get who you like, if Minnesota doesn't get who they want, do you bring Aaron Rodgers in? Yeah. Yeah, I think he would want to play there. You have to play indoors and you got some weapons there, but, you know, might be June by the time that happens after the draft. We'll talk to Glazer. Jay Glazer will join us. Coming up, Tom in Michigan. Good morning, Tom. What's on your mind today?
- [34:59]
Dan Patrick
Morning, Dan. 61265. I'd like to believe my mom when she Said I'm big boned. Anyway, to preface my statement, I have a clean driving record. No accidents, just a lot of speeding tickets. Back when I was fresh out of college, I was a feed salesman driving 1000 miles a week. I managed to get 5 or 6 speeding tickets in 2 years. Got over 10 points on my license. Had to get special auto insurance through a special carrier. And my parents farm had to have all their proof of insurance, say, excluding my name, because I was such a high risk. So those are the things. Because points only stick around for two years. After that, they're gone. Because I'm 55, and I still probably average about one eating ticket a year because of my. Because of my mantra that road time is wasted time. So. And I'm a lifelong dairy farmer, where happy cows, when they retire, they become happy meals.
- [35:58]
Dan
Thank you, Tom. Yeah. If you get to 12 points, then I think they suspend your license for six months. But I don't know how many points that Miles Garrett is accrued, but what is this seven speeding tickets that he's had?
- [36:17]
Paulie
We're looking into it. We had a suggestion for a punishment for Miles Garrett. The next time he gets a speeding ticket, he has to give up his Bugatti or Ferrari or whatever he's driving. He has to drive like a. Like an Astro van from the late 90s.
- [36:29]
Dan
Okay. All right. That'll teach him.
- [36:32]
Marvin
Yeah.
- [36:33]
Dan
See? Do we have a new poll question?
- [36:35]
Marvin
Well, we have several poll questions.
- [36:39]
Dan
Do we have a new football poll question? We have.
- [36:41]
Marvin
We do have new football poll questions. We also have. Speaking of speeding tickets, how many speeding tickets would it take you getting in less than 10 years to start slowing down? 3, 5, 7, or 9. Plus, right now, most people, a good 69% have about three speeding tickets. And then they would start slowing down. Some people are up to five. About 18% are up to five. That's pretty interesting. And then I'd rather my team sign Malik Willis, trade for Mac Jones, sign Kirk Cousins, or draft Ty Simpson. Right now, 41% have signed Malik Willis.
- [37:17]
Dan
Yeah. I had somebody yesterday, a former NFL front office person said, you know, you should pump your brakes a little bit on Malik Willis. I'm like, why? Come on. And what a buzzkill. And he's like, yeah, you know, might be a bridge quarterback. And I go, okay, you know, how big's the bridge? You know, how long does it take to get over the bridge? Can I have a bridge quarterback for two or three years? He did well with the Packers. He goes, yeah. Like, I. I was like, man, what Am I missing out here because it feels like Malik Willis still at an age where, you know, he could be in his prime, get him with a good team. But I would take a chance on Kyler Murray, certain teams. I would take a chance on Kyler Murray, the Vikings. I definitely would. I don't want to put him in the jets situation. Why do I think Kirk Cousins ends up with the Jets? I know. I just. Because then he can, you know, he can be in New York to do his, you know, the CBS football show and still quarterback the jets as well. Yes, Paulie, what if he did the
- [38:30]
Paulie
CBS pre game show and went right over to the stadium and played for the Jets?
- [38:34]
Dan
How about you take the pregame show to or just let him do a live shot that's producing his uniform on? He'll somehow make a ton of money off of this, knowing Kirk D. Cousins.

All right guys, two words for you. Prostate exam. Yeah, you just clenched up a little bit. Are you imagining the finger right now? Yeah. Relax. Prostate cancer screening starts with a simple finger free blood test. Around one in eight men in the United States will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. But that's no reason to re clench when caught early. At localized or even regional stages, prostate cancer can have over a 99% five year relative survival rate. Did your tight end just relax? Good. If you're over 40, 40 or older and have a prostate visit, relax. It's a blood test.com you'll find out if a PSA blood test is right for you. The PSA blood test can be the first step in screening. Talk to your doctor to evaluate your risk, determine when to get tested and discuss screening options and the next steps. Sponsored by Novartis. It's only natural you see these golfers mistaken the true green lawns for an actual golf course. Have you noticed that?
- [40:39]
Todd
Come on.
- [40:40]
Dan
No no, I'm serious. Happens all the time. And you know, they're the official lawn care treatment provider, the PGA Tour, so they know what it takes to get golf course quality lawns.
- [40:50]
Marvin
So you're saying we could host a tournament out back?
- [40:52]
Dan
No, I mean, we could make. Yeah, I guess we can. If True Green's doing all the work, no one makes it easier. They handle the treatments, the timing, everything.
- [41:01]
Paulie
I feel like you see them everywhere.
- [41:03]
Dan
Yeah. Beautiful lawns. And you know it's True Green, America's number one lawn care company. And chances are they're already in your neighborhood.

Nobody really prepares you for this part of life. When I had some guests stay with me recently, I realized I was missing a few key essentials. I hate when that happens. Really? No more paper towels. Down to the last pigs in a blanket. So soon. I didn't want to interrupt our time together by running to the store or give off the impression that I was unprepared for my guests. Moments like that are a perfect example of how everyday life can surprise you. Some days go as planned and other days, well, life throws curve balls. It's not always convenient. That's why I went straight to Amazon. Amazon helps make it easier to manage both the routine and the unexpected. From household basics to last minute replacements you like to have on hand to be a great host, Amazon makes it so you can find everything that you need all in one place with reliable value and great prices. So when you run out of essentials right when the party's about to start, Amazon makes it easier to focus on your guests. Talk about saving the day.

Ian Rapaport. NFL Network last night said that the Steelers do expect a decision from Aaron Rodgers before free agency. And Rogers said that there's no deadline because they're not going to offer a deal until they know that he's going to accept a deal. Ian Rapaport suggested the Steelers want the opposite. If Rogers confirms that he wants to come back and play, details of an offer will be revealed to him at that point. So it's a waiting game of waiting for Aaron to decide if he wants to play and then the Steelers would make an offer to him. I guess that's what Ian Rapaport is saying. Glazer Will have something on this. Coming up, Dylan in Orlando. Hi, Dylan. What's on your mind?
- [43:17]
Dan Patrick
Hey, Dan. Thanks for taking my call. Hope you're all doing all right. I know earlier this week we had a little fire situation. Thank God everyone's okay. But it kind of inspired me to write a little parody song based on we didn't start the Fire, but of course, including some Dan Patrick inspired lyrics. If I can sing. I only got one verse. If I can sing it for you.
- [43:35]
Dan
That sounds good, Dylan.
- [43:37]
Dan Patrick
All right, here we go. Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, big German, Pete Carroll, mothership backroom guys, Marvin on the airlines, trigger grill, tire rack. Dylan cooking in the back. What did I learn today? Todd is in the passing lane. Dan Patrick is in fuego. Start of the day and a pie to the face. Dan Patrick is in fuego. We'll have a ball when Tyler takes your call. Your call. Your call.
- [44:07]
Todd
Good ending.
- [44:08]
Dan
That was fun. Very nice. Thank you, Dylan. I didn't know I needed that today, but I'm glad I have it. Yes, Paul.
- [44:16]
Paulie
Whenever I'm driving home and we have a call like that, I always picture that person sitting at his kitchen table.
- [44:21]
Todd
No, not. That's not it.
- [44:22]
Paulie
Writing it again.
- [44:23]
Dan
Yeah. Wife and kids walk by. What are you doing? I. I'm writing a parody song. Focused BJ and Peoria. Hi, BJ.
- [44:35]
Dan Patrick
Hey, good morning, Dan and the Danettes. Six, two, three, 20. Power lifter pizza division. Talking about Lou Holtz. I do not want to spit in anybody's grave, pun intended, but we always forget that Lou also left Minnesota, Notre Dame, South Carolina, and a year after he left. In each case, they ended up on probation. And that's the only mark against an otherwise great career. Final take the Bears. I heard you guys talking about them in the over under conversation the other day. They're the worst team in the NFC North. Even last year they were two and four in the division. And they're going to play the first place schedule this year, which still means something in a couple of games. And I look for them to go 8 and 9 at best this season. I'll. I'll hang up and eat some more pizza.
- [45:21]
Dan
Does anybody Want to bet BJ that the Bears finish better than 8 and 9?
- [45:28]
Marvin
Anybody feel Bears finish better than 8
- [45:30]
Dan
and 9, yeah, BJ was saying that at best, the Bears are 8 and 9. 8, 9. It's going to be. A couple of teams are going to take a step back. Yes, Paul.
- [45:43]
Paulie
And so many of those wins by the Bears last year were tenuous. I think they had 11 last year and could have won eight.
- [45:50]
Dan
That's why I shorted the commanders. Now Jane Daniels got hurt, but I thought, man, you can't win like seven one score games. You can't do that consistently. Now great teams can, but I just, I thought they'd come back to earth. But you know, Jaden Daniels of course got hurt. How about this? Would you rather know the Steelers next quarterback, Aaron Rodgers next team or see a picture of Aaron Rodgers wife? Like right now? What would you want? Because Aaron says that he's married. Nobody has seen his wife. Todd, I'm totally going to go with the third choice, the TMZ in me or whatever you want to call it. I'm very curious about what his wife looks like. How is that possible? There are all of these pictures of Aaron walking on the beach in Malibu when we weren't sure what he was going to be doing next. There's, there's no pictures of him with his wife. Yes.
- [46:53]
Paulie
Paulie, if you're Aaron Rodgers current wife, is this like a plan to keep out of the media spotlight? Is this a recommendation? Does she like this?
- [47:04]
Dan
I'm going to guess it's a collaborative, collaborative effort on her and his part of. Look, I don't want to be in the spotlight. You are. That's good. Does she go to games? I mean, it's a big mystery. And the caller, BJ did bring up Lou Holtz and yes, when Lou would leave a couple of different universities, they would end up on probation. So that is fact. But I was talking about a voice, what he did at Notre Dame. He was a character, an analyst. But yeah, I mean these, these resumes aren't bulletproof. But you know, like he just passed away. It's not as he said. Well, I don't mean to spit on his grave, but it kind of did there. I don't know if we're telling the whole story of Lou Holtz today. Right. But you know, it's kind of like, yeah, Lou Holtz passed away, you know, like how much time in between people want me to do my Lou Holtz impersonation and I can't do it today. Yes.
- [48:08]
Marvin
I got to admit, I spent many times drafting a text and then deleting it and then writing a text and then deleting it and then writing a text and then deleting it. Because I did have a lot of jokes to make for Lou Holtz. I did. Yeah.
- [48:21]
Dan
Really?
- [48:21]
Marvin
Yeah. And then I thought, no, you know what? I've even in a closed text chat, like the Five of us.
- [48:26]
Dan
Yeah. Like. Oh, I probably shouldn't. Yeah. You didn't even share.
- [48:29]
Marvin
No, I didn't.
- [48:30]
Dan
How about tomorrow? I made a million of them, though. How about tomorrow? Is that enough time?
- [48:35]
Paulie
Yes.
- [48:36]
Dan
Maybe.
- [48:36]
Paulie
I checked.
- [48:37]
Dan
Yeah. All right. He's 89. Yeah.
- [48:40]
Paulie
This wasn't a complete shot.
- [48:41]
Dan
No, he was in hospice.
- [48:42]
Paulie
Yeah.
- [48:43]
Dan
All right. Maybe I'll do my Lou Holtz impersonation tomorrow.
- [48:47]
Marvin
See, like, every bit in my body.
- [48:51]
Dan
Yes, Marvin.
- [48:51]
Todd
And I think that's okay, because 89 is the celebration of life, period.
- [48:55]
Dan
Yeah.
- [48:56]
Todd
Like, when someone. Hey, if I die tomorrow, it's not a celebration of life. It's. Oh, he was young. Lou Holtz, man, what a run.
- [49:03]
Dan
Yeah. Right.
- [49:04]
Todd
So come on.
- [49:05]
Dan
Yeah. Whoa, wait. What's going on here? Come on. Celebration of life, right?
- [49:15]
Paulie
86 is the cutoff number.
- [49:16]
Dan
86?
- [49:17]
Paulie
Yeah. If you make it to 86 or
- [49:19]
Dan
over, you can have a celebration of life.
- [49:21]
Paulie
Well, you can't complain that you got cut short.
- [49:24]
Marvin
I would be happy with that number.
- [49:26]
Paulie
If someone offered you 86 clean right now. Who's not signing up?
- [49:30]
Dan
I'll take 86 clean.
- [49:32]
Paulie
General health.
- [49:33]
Dan
Yes, Todd, and we've asked this before, but I'll ask again. What is the age of dying of natural causes? If someone says, and he was, you
- [49:39]
Todd
know, 38 and died of natural cause,
- [49:41]
Dan
that would seem way too young. But 77 or something would seem okay. What is the cutoff for dying of natural cause just from being old and
- [49:48]
Todd
your body just breaks?
- [49:49]
Dan
I don't know. I don't know. Yes, Paul.
- [49:51]
Paulie
I think a generation ago, making it to 77 felt pretty good. Now it feels like, oh, what happened? You might ask what happened at 77.
- [49:59]
Dan
Yes.
- [50:01]
Marvin
It's odd to me, too, because, like, there are lots of natural causes of death. You know, like a stroke or a heart attack is a natural cause. But people don't say that like, I had a heart attack. But then there's natural causes. Those are all natural causes to die from. Right.
- [50:16]
Dan
But what did you do to create that stroke that made it.
- [50:21]
Marvin
Yeah, I mean, heart disease might be the reason or something like that. If you have a heart attack, but it's still a natural cause. Right?
- [50:27]
Dan
I just want to go in my sleep. Yes, Todd. Yeah, because natural causes, to me, just sounds like eventually your body can't just function forever. Eventually it just all breaks down. He died of natural cause at 93. What do you want him to do? He's not going to be alive to 130. Jay Glazer in the final hour.
