You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio, hour two on this Thursday, Dan and the Dan ETS Dan Patrick Show. Morale is high. Broncos at home. Morale is mile high, Todd. Yeah, it's mile high. Okay, let's get it. Let's get it. You're ready? Yeah. Are the Broncos the best team in the AFC West? The Denver Broncos are currently the best team. They have sea west based on the standings. Do you think they are? Yes. Okay. I'm going to be all in and say yes. They think they're a little better than the Chiefs and the Chargers. Who's the best team in the afc? The best team the AFC is the Broncos because the Colts stole one from us when they got that. Oh, that's right. The leverage. We won't get enough chance to kick it. Yeah, the leverage garbage. The leverage goal, of course, the Raiders getting nine and a half if the Broncos don't win by at least 10. We have a Mark Davis hairpiece, not his actual hairpiece, but something that resembles Mark's haircut that Fritzi would have to wear all show on Friday. And it's very funny and it looks very good. It looks very lifelike. Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of this program. We'll have a new poll question operator standing by, actually sitting by. Tyler will take your phone calls. 877-3DP Show. It's weird how the NFL trade deadline comes and goes and there was a lot of activity, but we got a lot of football left. We got half the season left. And we've talked about, can they move that trade deadline back to, let's say, week 12, week 13, maybe a late trade that could help your team as they head into the postseason run, but it's over. And then you start to think, if I'm a Buffalo Bills fan, it's like, we didn't do anything. Should we have done something? Did we. Do we have enough here? If you're the Dolphins, do you go, and maybe we should have traded that Jaylen Waddle. The Patriots didn't do anything. But you might say, hey, I like where we are. Let's not get desperate here. Let's. Let's not do something because the Patriots have a chance here maybe to make a run. And you wonder, is there one player out there that you could have added where you go, he's going to make the difference. If you're the jets, do you go, why did we hold on to Breece Hall? Or what could we have gotten for Garrett Wilson if we got to that point? Where are they part of the rebuild? Because if I'm Garrett Wilson and Bree hall, that'd be the first thing I would say to the coach or management, like, help me understand, am I part of the rebuild here? Because if that's the case, that's another couple of years down the road. All right, Seaton pole question for hour two is going to be one. Yeah. Let me update you on the ones we've got up there currently. Okay. Whose career would you want right now? Clayton Kershaw semi. Running away with that one. Okay. And which quarterback would you like that? Results pending on that. Your options are TUA and Kyler. We're putting that up there asap. Okay. Yes. Paulie, should we change the poll a little bit because of Kershaw's championships? Weigh the poll. If you said, what would you rather do for a living? Be like a 10 time Pro bowl defensive end or a three time Cy Young winning pitcher? More like a lifestyle choice. Oh, I'd be a pitcher. Yeah. Yeah. Pitchers got it made. Starting over reliever, right? Yeah. When you're good, I got to get. I have to be good for one day. That's it. If I'm a defensive player, I got to be good all game long, every game. Clayton Kershaw, once every five days. The other four days I'll do that long tossing and maybe I'll play some golf. I just remember the lifestyle for the Braves with Glavin, Smoltz and Maddox and it felt like they were playing golf just about every day. They'd be on the road, they'd bring their clubs, they were playing. Now, granted, those are hall of Fame pitchers, but if you're a good pitcher, let's say you're a good pitcher for 10 years or you're a great defensive player for 10 years. I'll take the good pitcher for 10 years. Yes. Is there anything to or how much value? Maybe we're not putting any value in it, but the toughness qualities of football players over other athletes. I'll let you take your toughness because I know what toughness is going to feel like when you're 50. Right, right. And that's the difference. Kind of running yourself through the ring. My shoulder got a little arthritis there. Yeah. J.J. watt was just talking about how they were opening up his leg and you could see the bone. That's cool. Yeah. When you're seeing it on somebody else. Yeah. I go back to one of my knee surgeries, and the doctor said, do you want to watch? And I said, watch what? He goes, the surgery, they were going to numb me from, like, the thigh down. There was a monitor, and he said, you can watch the surgery. And I said, knock me out, doc. No way. Goes. A lot of people know they wake up and they get nauseous when, you know, from the anesthesia. And I said, hey, I'd rather throw up from anesthesia than throwing up watching what's inside my knee. But he goes, I'll give you a video. And they. Whatever he was drilling into my knee. I had micro fracture surgery. It had a camera on it. And so he gives me this video, and I go, what am I going to do with this? But he was all in. He was. He was one of those guys who wanted to grow cartilage in a petri dish. Were doing it in Germany. And he goes, would you be interested in that? I go, I just want to be able to walk. I'm not coming back. I didn't. I didn't have anything where I had to come back, too. I'm good. But, yeah, you get caught up, people. I remember this. The woman who took out the stitches when I got my knee replacement, and she goes, I love this. And I was like, oh, God. But she truly did. She's snipping, you know, my. My stitches. And she's like, this is awesome. I love this stuff. Like, oh, why are you whispering? Yes, Paul, I do see Seaton's point, because football players are a different type of human. They enjoy inflicting pain and don't mind getting pain inflicted on them. Baseball players are really talented. I mean, clearly. But they're generally like you and I. From a, you know, pain tolerance standpoint. I think every football player will say, yeah, you know, that's the way you played. Yeah, it was worth it. Until you see them when they're in their 40s and 50s. And I would love to know if you got. And maybe it's a survey, but you don't attach names to it, but you ask the players, was it worth it? I'd be curious what former NFL players would say, former NFL players who were in their 50s, if you said, was it worth it? And I don't attach names to it. I wonder if it would be maybe a little more even or maybe a little more in favor of those saying, no, it wasn't worth it. Because you also have CTE and these players who are over 50, and then you start to see them. I, I still go back, it'll be burnt in my memory seeing Earl Campbell in a wheelchair. And you watched him play. And I felt bad for the defensive players. And then here I see Earl Campbell, the great Earl Campbell, tough, and he's in a wheelchair. Now you can see Roger Staubach. And Roger Staubach looks like he probably give you a couple plays and he's probably in his 80s. But yeah, you look at those guys and you just say, wow, you know, the damage and it's just an accumulation. Hey, fix it. Shoot it up toward all. Get back in there, whatever it takes. Yes. Football players, I think, to Paul's point, are the top of the athlete food pyramid. What do you mean? Because they make it to a place that most other people couldn't. And it is because of you. You essentially need two things. To be a football player, you have to be an incredible athlete and you have to be ungodly tough. You need a certain level of toughness just to play the game and to advance through it that you need. You need toughness in other sports, but it's not the same as football. I think football players take a lot of pride in being the top of that food pyramid. I think hockey players, they are the toughest athletes. They are the toughest athletes because it's your culture that you just, you know, you got hit in the face. Stitch me up, I'll be out in the second period, lose a couple of teeth. I mean, hockey players are the one. I think they're the most athletic. When you think about what hockey players do. Yeah. So it's on ice, first of all. It's on ice, right? You're on skates and you got a stick, and he's got a stick, and the puck is going 100 miles an hour. The speed, athleticism, agility, toughness, all of that. And it, you know, it goes at like two minute periods or spurts for these guys. Sometimes a little more where you're just. It's wall to wall, it's end to end. And, you know, the collisions, those on purpose, the fights, heist, I mean, all of that stuff, they're. They're the toughest athletes, I think, collectively. Yeah. Paul, when you described hockey just there, it seems like a flawed concept for a sport. All right, so there's a big patch of ice out here, guys. We're all going to play a sport on it with sticks. Cool. All right, now I want you to Put these shoes on that have little blades on them and try to balance yourself while you go forward and backwards. And you stand over there. We're going to shoot pucks at your face. No mask for another 50 years. No mask. No, no, no. 50 years from now, we'll get you a mask. Now, it's a great point, because you're. Somebody had to come up with this concept. Yeah. Like when I. When the guy typed it up on the. Whatever. Years ago. And everyone's like, you want to do what? Well, when the Native Americans came up with lacrosse, okay, there's no helmet. You're going to have this stick, and you're going to be whacking each other. And that ball hurts if it hits you. Okay. And you're going to try to throw it into a net. Okay, I can understand that concept. Or football. Hey, you got pads on. You're not going to have a face mask. You're going to have a helmet on. Ish. And we're going to run the football. Okay. And then you tackle them. Okay. Hockey, you would have been like, guys at the bar, and they're drunk and they're going. And you know what we're gonna do? And then we're. We're gonna have blades on the. What? I was saying we would have clogs. No, we're gonna have blades. And then what? And then you get to hit each other with the stick. And then the goalie. Oh, it's a goal. Which. Yeah. And. And he doesn't have a face mask. And you can hit him if you want to. Yes. Hockey is so crazy that your whole. Your shift can only last, like, 45, 60 seconds because of everything that you're doing in that minute is so insane. That's one play in football, and most of it is standing around wondering, so, what are we going to do now? Let's wait for the coach to tell us what to do, and then we'll do that real hard for seven seconds. And then we'll wait around seven seconds. Then a meeting. Yeah, let's wait. But hockey, it's like back and forth, back and forth. Hit that guy. Do this thing. Now I'm off. Crazy. Yes, Todd. And fighting and bleeding and losing a bunch of teeth is some kind of badge of honor. You don't find that really, in anything that possibly exists anyway. But there's nobody that, you know, he. Oh, he's a pretty boy. You know? Now, you could say Gretzky was like that and protected, but most weren't, you know, I mean, Ovechkin. Ovechkin looks like a Bond villain, you know, with the tooth out. I mean, and he's one of the biggest guys. Nobody's going to question his toughness. And usually when you watch these highlights and you're like. Or if you're down on the ice, if you're on the glass and you see that, just the speed I'm always caught up in, when you get to see it up close, when you're five feet away from actually being in the play. You know, you watch NBA players, and there's so much quicker, faster, bigger, stronger football players. Those collisions, they're violent. They sound violent. But hockey, I mean, it's. That's just end to end. That doesn't. That doesn't stop. Yeah, Paulie. If you look back at the violence of football back in, like, the 1910s and 20s, the president, United States, Teddy Roosevelt, who is not, you know, soft, he considered getting rid of football. They had to make inventions with, like, different padding. Well, people were dying. Dying. Yeah. In the 1910s and before the 20s, we kind of frown on that nowadays. Yeah. Then they would have been like hockey players. You guys are soft. You guys are losing teeth. We're losing lives. Eat that. Eat that. But, yeah, they were going to get rid of football. They had, like, the present. Put it on pause for a year. Yeah, they were soft. Yeah. Yeah. Soft. Brian in Tampa, I lasted my freshman year in football just to let everybody know, and I never enjoyed it. Never enjoyed it. Hey, Brian. Hey. Good morning, Dan. ERNEST Brian Gregory Jr. The third 510A dense 213 this morning. So, Dan, Tuesday was election day in America. And as all eyes turn to it, I tried to reach out to you, but really, America is going to be focusing on most valuable and least valuable Dan at soon. Got to be honest, in good conscience, I voted for Fritzi is most valuable because I need laughs in my life, Dan. And he always seems to provide comedy relief. Okay, well, polling results may vary, but Todd has one most valuable and least valuable Dan at. Thank you, Brian. A couple of years, and in fact, Todd is being rewarded for most valuable Danette tire rack. One of their bosses, Dan, you know, he sent me a text saying, hey, I want to give Fritzie four. Four new tires. They brought the mobile tire installation here to the man cave. So that's Fritz's daughter's car. If you're watching on peacock, and I don't know what you get for least valuable, I suggested we take the tires back off that we put them on. That's a push yeah. And then we take them back to where I started. I didn't say that. You got to keep them. They were going to give them to you, then they were going to take it back. Hopefully we could figure out something else for the least valuable part and take it. Leave the tire, the new tires on the car. Austin in Louisiana. Hi, Austin. What a dp. Hey, thanks for calling me back. Yeah, I, you know, I was listening yesterday, and you guys were going on about the best days for football. And that's all cute and everything, but I'd like to make my case for the worst state in football right now. And I'd like to start off with your New Orleans Saints, Dan. And could there be a worse NFL team right now? No excitement, trading all our best players, a young quarterback that nobody's really behind, which is the worst place you can be in when you have the young quarterback that nobody really even wants. And let's move over to Baton Rouge, Dan, and lsu. I mean, for the consensus best job in the sport. Could there be a bigger dumpster fire right now? Don't have a president, no ad. We got the governor doing the media rounds, just saying Lord knows what. And for the cherry on top for the state of Louisiana, Dan, let me throw out the New Orleans Pelicans, probably the most irrelevant franchise in the NBA right now. Shout out the Wizards. And then we're two and six, headed for another lottery pick. And what do you know? Zion does his hamstring. What do you know about that? I'm sure he'll come back in seven to 10 days and probably have a knee injury or a back. So. Look, Dan, I mean, you know, I would. I would say to you guys, who is. Who is worse right now than Louisiana? Well, you make a really strong case there. Even though we were just doing football, you threw in the Pelicans, but the Pelicans make some strange moves. I'm gonna. I'm gonna run down some NBA from last night. Watch a lot of Wemby. Wemby against Lakers. And the spurs are winning and going to win until they don't win. They know LeBron, no, Austin Reaves. Luka looked great again. It's fun, fun to watch. But Wemby, he still has some moves where you go, damn. And he's only 21 years of age. We'll take a break. We're back after this.

You get Desi Arnaz, a trailblazer, a businessman, a husband, and maybe most importantly, the first Latino to break primetime wide open. I'm Wilmer Valderrama and yes, I grew up watching him, probably just like you and millions of others. But for me, I saw myself in his story. From cleaning canary cages to this night here in New York, it's a long ways. On the podcast starring Desi Arnaz and Wilmer Valderrama, I'll take you on a journey to Desi's life. The moments it has overlapped with mine. How he redefined American television and what that meant for all of us watching from the sidelines, waiting for a face like ours on screen. This is the story of how one man spotlight led the path for so many others and how we carry his legacy today. Listen to Starring Desi Arnaz and Wilmer Valderrama that's part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. She said Johnny, the kids didn't come home last night. Along the Central Texas plains, teens are dying, suicides that don't make sense, strange accidents and brutal murders in what seems to be a plot ripped straight out of Breaking Bad. Drugs, alcohol, trafficking of people. There are people out there that absolutely know what happened. Listen to Paper Ghosts, the Texas Teen murders on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. On the podcast. Health stuff. We are tackling all the health questions that keep you up at night. Yes. I'm Dr. Priyanka Wali, a double board certified physician. And I'm Hari Kondabolu, a comedian and someone who once googled do I have scurvy at 3am on health stuff, we're talking about health in a different way. It's not only about what we can do to improve our health, but also what our health says about us and the way we're living. Like our episode where we look at diabetes in the United states. I mean 50% of Americans are pre diabetic. How preventable is type 2? Extremely. Or our in depth analysis of how incredible mangoes are. Oh, it's hard to explain to rest of the world that like your mangoes are fine because mangoes are incredible. But like you don't even know. You don't know. You don't know. It's going to be a fun ride. So tune in, listen to health stuff on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey y', all, it's me, your man, M.G. marcus Grant. And I'm Michael F. Florio. And I'm Laquan Jones. If you're looking to win your fantasy football league, you need to tune in to the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. It's right there in the name. Every week, Florio, LQ and I bring you latest news from around the league. We break down every matchup, give you our analysis and advice so you know who to start, sit, drop and trade to bring that championship trophy home. I just want to remind everyone how good Rasheed Rice was last season. In these three healthy games he was the wide receiver. Two in fantasy I think Rasheed Rice just goes off this week. The Chiefs come on. A flip pass to Rice near side Touchdown. Ramandre Stevens is my sleeper this week. This is a matchup where I think I can sleep, slide in Stevenson in my flex position and he could deliver double digit points. This week. Drake takes the snap, hands it off for moderate running it right and running into the end zone. Touchdown. It's never too late to turn your fantasy season around. Subscribe to the NFL Fantasy Football podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Guess who has the most rebounds of any NBA guard in the history of the game? If you said Russell Westbrook Jr III, you'd be correct. 8,000, 734 as he passes Jason Kidd for most rebounds by a guard in NBA history. He had 23, 16 and 10. So he's got 204 triple doubles. The Kings beat. Yes, he plays for the King. Beat the warriors last night. Blazers were down 22. Beat the Thunder, Thunder's first loss of the season. And the Lakers went on a 2110 run to beat the Spurs. They're now 7 and 2. Best start since opening 2010, 8 and 1. They're also 7 and 2 in 2019. And then I watched a little bit of the Joker, Nicola Jokic, his fifth triple double this season. He went 33, 16 and 15 against the Miami Heat. The New Orleans Pelicans. By the way, we just had a caller from Louisiana talking about how irrelevant they are. And that's what you want to be. Even if you're like, the Saints aren't messy, they're bad. But you're okay with messy because at least you're. People are talking about your franchise now. Might not be, you know, verbal bouquets. You know, the jets are relevant. They're messy, but they are relevant. The Saints, there's no pulse, you know, like I might have you on life support, but the Saints are on, you know, they, they don't have a pulse here, but you know, the Pelicans, they're doing it again. Congratulations. Now keep in mind they made a series of moves in the off season. They traded the Pacers pick back to Indiana for the number 23 selection. And this is a team that could be have the number one pick in the draft. And this draft will be loaded. So what do they do? They package that pick and their own. An unprotected 2026 first round pick that could be the number one pick in the draft. And they go up to get Derek Queen at number 13. Derek Queen is played sparingly. So you have, you have some really good players that'll be available in this draft. You got Cameron Boozer, Darren Peterson, A.J. debanza. Yes, Marvin. Don't forget co opied, the kid from Arizona also. Yeah. And these guys are all one and done. And these guys are going to be available. And here's the Pelicans. I mean they're, they're not relevant. You got Zion Williamson again out. Yes, Marvin. Well, Joe Dumars is there. Do you believe in him? It feels like he has a plan of some sort. Well, I'd like to see the plan because was he there to make this move? To move up to get Derek Queen and trade away their pick? An unprotected 2026 draft pick? Those aren't good moves. Yes, Paul, The Pelicans are 2 and 6, but they're losing their average point differential, they're minus 13 points a game. They're getting beat by 13 points a game. Or outscored. The only worst teams in that, the Brooklyn Nets are getting outscored by 13 points a game. Your Washington Wizards are getting outscored by 16 and a half points per game. Yes. Yes. They're one in seven. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yeah, that's a shame. But, you know, there's, there's a reason why these teams are consistently bad, you know? You know, do you have the coach? Did you spend on the coach? Do you do scouting your gm? You know, there, there's that. This isn't one of those where, hey, they're just spending more money than us. You just have to be really smart at what you're doing and you get a little bit of luck. I mean, let's face it. The spurs got lucky. You know, they got Victor Wembanyama, they got lucky with Tim Duncan, they got lucky with David Robinson. Okay, but then you surround them with really good picks. Tony Parker wasn't luck. Manu Ginobili wasn't luck. Those are the guy. That's. When you go, that's a really good organization. Hey, we're going to take this guy. Kawhi Leonard. Nobody's heard of him, and he plays really good defense. So that's where you, you lean on your scouts and you lean on your gm, and then you give a head coach the ingredients to make something. Yes, Marvin and I always feel bad for the Brooklyn Nets because they're probably the most irrelevant franchise in the NBA. They don't have a real fan base. If you say, hey, I'm from Brooklyn. Oh, do you root for the Nets? No, root for the Knicks. They just got here. There's no real Nets fans. I went to, I've been to three Nets games. You know what? I see the opposing jerseys. Okay, but if I said you had to pick Nets fan, Wizards fan, Pelicans. Do I throw the Jazz in there? Give me your order there, Marvin. As far as being a fan, I like, that would be my team. And then the next team, next team, next team. I'd go Utah, because I've seen them when they were really, really good as a kid, but yet. And still Wizards. Wait, Wizards would be second on your list. Yeah, they've been in D.C. forever. Okay, but not good. Pelicans, Nets. You act like you said the Bulls are the Lakers or somebody like that. Aiden in Utah. Hi, Aiden. What's on your mind today? How dare you throw us in there with the Wizards in The net, Dan, what are you talking about? Just right now, you know, I'm waiting for Ace to start playing. Well, Lowry Markkanen is probably going to be in another team at the trade deadline, but other than that. Speaking of Jazz, though, remember my bet with Marvin, that is. It's off because Walker Kessler's out for the year. No, it's not off. You lost Walker Kessler voids the bet. No, it does not. No. Injuries are part of it. Sorry. Getting out of that. What else do you have for me, Aiden? Yeah. You were talking about the rewards for, you know, most valuable Dan. At least valuable Dan at kid tires and tire rack, if you're most valuable. Well, I think the least valuable should get the tires off of the most valuable. Dana's car. Because remember Seaton's office Tesla? Those were. Those were wires. And throw those on Todd's car. That would be fun. Yeah, but Todd gets both of them. He gets the tires, and then he would be giving up the tires that are going off his daughter's car. So Todd would have a set of both of those. But thank you for the phone call. Alex in Utah. Hi, Alex. What's on your mind today? Yeah, that one. I'm with Aiden. That one felt like a little bit of a low blow. I understand we're pretty relevant now, but we. We did have that kind of Donovan Mitchell run that was kind of fun. It's kind of fun. No, no, I'm talking about now. I'm not talking about your history. I'm talking about now. How do you feel about your team now? When you go to a game or watch your team, how do you feel? No, I. Yeah, no, I'm with you. I. My. My wife is from Texas, and we're. We got. We're getting tickets for the spurs in Utah game, and I'm like, oh, I'm for sure rooting for the Spurs. Wemby. Absolutely, like, putting my allegiance, leaving that at home. But, hey, actually, the reason I'm calling, so I don't know a lot about, like, the IR rules, but is there any. Here's my conspiracy theory hat on. Is there any way that putting Kyler Murray on IR was just kind of a polite way to bench him and then they'll try to move him on the off season. And I know people are going to be like, who's going to want that contract? And I just have two words for you. Cleveland Brown. That's my thought on this. I'm not being a conspiracy theorist. It's more of just. It feels like they want to. They have a better chance of winning with Jacoby Brissette, and it feels like, let's not have him on the field. It's not to have him in uniform. And let's see what happens here. That. That would be my thought process as far as the Cleveland Browns. You know, once again, you got to factor in deshaun Watson whether you want to or not. He's still on the roster, they're still paying him, and if he's able to come back and play, they're probably going to be playing DeSean Watson. I don't know any time frame. I've not heard anything from Mary Kay Cabot, who usually gets all that information, but DeSean Watson might be playing this year, which is pretty crazy. Park in Fort Wayne. Hi, Park. How are you? 511 194. Yeah, I just wanted to thank you guys for the joy and entertainment you bring to your work. Yeah, you talk about sports and there isn't anything loud or pontificating about your approach. It just seems like you have fun with it. And I think that was personified in the earlier segment about tough athletes and the tangents that you go to, just the joy that you bring to it. There's none of this, hey, I know something, I'm going to shove it down your throat. It's just, just fun to listen to you every day. Well, thank you, Park. That's been the approach and will continue to be the approach. It's not a hot take. We like to call it an educated take. It's something rare. How about we try to be right with these things? And I've never. You don't win arguments by the volume. You don't. Now, there are a lot of people who think you can because you just shout them down. I never subscribe to that. Well, I disagree with that. Okay. However, Jim in Michigan. Hi, Jim. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan. Going back to the. Your football and hockey analogy, I used to be the one that used to thought football was, you know, way, you know, rougher and all that. But it was back in 96 and 97 season in hockey here in Detroit when Claude Lemieux put a really bad hit on Chris Draper. And it changed my opinion because Darren McCarty warned Lemieux what he was going to do to him a year later. And, and honestly, I mean, that, that, that it's on YouTube and it's like one of the baddest brawls you'll ever see. And just to think a year in advance, I mean, you Know, obviously, no, it was all hyped up and everything, but it kind of changed my viewpoint on that. I mean, and then everything you added to it earlier with, you know, what they got to do and how they got to do it. Yeah. And then there is a big waiting game when you're playing football. I mean, not that it's any, you know, less, you know, challenging or anything, but. Yeah, I would have to agree with you on that hockey analogy just based on that alone, because it was in 97 when Darren got into it with Lemieux after that year that. A year ago. Thank you for the phone call, Jim. Scott in Salt Lake. Hi, Scott. Hi, Dan. First time, long time, six foot and a lovable 305. The most legendary tough guy moment in all of sports, proving once again that hockey players are the toughest, was Game 7 of the 91 semifinals, when Jeremy Roenick took a high stick to the face, knocked out several teeth, split open his lips. He went back to the dressing room for repairs, which has to be the toughest phrase in all sports, and then returned to the ice to score the game winning goal in overtime, sending the legendary Blackhawks to the next round of the playoffs. Thank you, Scott. Yeah, we've been around Jeremy Roenick, and he has, I think, a titanium jaw that you can hit him as hard as you want in the jaw. He does. I don't say he encourages you, but he, he has said before, go ahead, punch me as hard as you want. I go, no, I don't want to. Yes, we had him in studios. One of the things I regret most, top five, probably top three, maybe even the most thing I regret most was punching Jeremy Roenick in the jaw while having this conversation like, yeah, no, go ahead. And I, I didn't. I didn't punch him, punch him. But I punched him maybe harder than I should have. And it was horrifying. Horrifying. And he was just totally fine. Obviously didn't care, but, man, I really felt terrible doing that. Yeah, it's a different. It's just a different breed, man. It just is like every toughest defensive player you can think of in football, that's what you have with hockey. Like you. They're all that way. They are just. It's just different mindset and. And that's the culture growing up that you play, you know, can you skate? I think so. All right, get back out there. I don't know how much they really focus on CTE concussions, because that's a sport that you would think that would be Leading the league. Now, granted, you lead with your helmet a lot of times when you're tackling or even running. But when you hit the ground in football and when you hit the ice in hockey and your head snaps back, a lot of concussion. That's where they would call it. You got your bell rung. I remember when I was little, I'd be like, man, I'm seeing stars. You got your bell rung. Okay. Like, it was some great thing. I went home and I said to my dad, I said, I got my bell rung. He goes, all right. Like, is this a good thing? Yeah, Paulie. There's a lot of things in sports where I look and go, how do they do that? But when a hockey player, a defenseman, lays down in front of a slap shot to block it with his body. And I know they have pads on, they have some padding on, but you don't know where that puck is going. You go, I gotta block this slap shot. And he kind of go down like a seal. That's something you normal people can't do that. It's a hundred miles an hour with. Okay, you got pads on. Your pads don't cover everything on your body. Just letting you know it's not, you know, like some big styrofoam, you know, inflated tube that you put around your body. It's, I'm going to go down and block this thing somehow, some way. Yeah, Paulie, the other thing in sports where I say there's just no way you could do that. Normal people, the punt returners, when they know everyone's coming at them and they have to focus on this ball, and they know they may get absolutely drilled, and you can't look down. So it's like a blind tackle coming at you. We'll take a break. More phone calls coming up. Clayton Kershaw, the former Dodger, will join us coming up next hour. It's always great to have him on, and I always go back and I'm gonna bring this up to him during COVID He was our first guest that we had during COVID and he was just sitting in his house in his office, and I said, do you have a baseball? He said, yeah. And I said, show me all the pitches that you throw. And he went through everything, his whole arsenal of, this is how I hold this, this how I hold this. And maybe. Maybe I can ask him, you know, he was throwing one pitch. Was that a slider? I think that that's all he was throwing, and he knew he wasn't fooling anybody. But I mean, he had one of the greatest curve balls in baseball history. Then all of a sudden those things go away and you're like. And he was coming in. Dave Roberts said that yesterday. Clayton was coming into that game seven. If they don't. If they don't get that double play. All right, we'll take a break. Back after this.

It's not only about what we can do to improve our health, but also what our health says about us and the way we're living. Like our episode where we look at diabetes in the United states. I mean 50% of Americans are pre diabetic. How preventable is type 2? Extremely. Or our in depth analysis of how incredible mangoes are. Oh, it's hard to explain.

We break down every matchup, give you our analysis and advice so you know who to start, sit, drop and trade to bring that championship trophy home. I just want to remind everyone how good Rasheed Rice was last season. And there's three healthy games. He was the wide receiver. Two in fantasy I think Rasheed Rice just goes off this week. The Chiefs come on a flip pass to Rice near side touchdown. Vermond Stevens is my sleeper this week. This is a matchup where I think I can slide in Stevenson in my flex position and he could deliver double digit points this week. Drake takes the snap, hands it off for Madre. Running it right and running into the end zone. Touchdown. It's never too late to turn your fantasy season around.

And we put up there. Which quarterback would you rather have, Tua or Kyler? It's tough right now. 66 of the audience would much rather have Tua Kyler. Wow. Yeah. Todd, who would you rather have? Kyler Tua. I'm gonna go Kyler. Satan. I think probably Kyler Marvin. Kyler Tua. A better drop back passer. I'm. I'm going to say Tua. I think he knows. I think he knows how to play the position now. I don't know how durable he is. I wouldn't want to have either one as my franchise quarterback. That's, you know, there was no third option there. So I would say Tua because I think in the right offense, he knows what he's doing. But we're still trying to find that offense for Kyler and, and he might be one of those. I have to go to another team and kind of have that reset and, and maybe, you know, he can forge out a, a great NFL or at least a good NFL career. Yeah. Paul, based off these poll results, are people factoring into his health issues of the past? Well, they should. Yeah. I mean, that's, that's first and foremost for me, that his health. And he's. He doesn't have a big arm and he's not a scrambler. I guess it just, it's an odd combination for a guy that you're going to spend that kind of money on. You know, it's like Dylan Gabriel, not a big arm, maybe not really a big scrambler. And you know, you're like, how much? What's the ceiling? That's what I would want to know. Yes. Paulie, when you go Back to that 2020 draft, Joe Burrow obviously goes number one. Miami's on the clock. They had their choice between Tua and Justin Herbert. I would love to know in the moment what their reasoning was. I don't think you'll ever get it again. Two was a hot property back then. He was a different. He was looked at way differently before the health issues. But I wonder what their reasoning was to pass on Herbert. Yeah, I mean, we saw glimpses with Herbert, but it was just athleticism. And, and I go back to that Rose bowl where I'm like, man, he's like Josh Allen. He could be a running, you know, big quarterback. And, and then I didn't know enough about is he an accurate passer to. Sometimes you're looking at the offense that you're playing in and you have all of these great players, wide receivers, and you're like, man, that guy's awesome. Okay, but what happens when you have to throw somebody open, when you have to fit it in There when you have to be able to withstand the, like, those are the things that, that's reality in the NFL. In college. College is fun. Like, if you're on a really good team and you have a couple of really good wide receivers and time to throw, college is great. That's where you see these incredible numbers where somebody's thrown for, you know, 48 touchdowns and three interceptions. I think if I'm Julian saying, I'd be like, this is fun. I've got two or three of the best wide receivers in America. I got the best wide receiver in America. I got the best football player on my team at Ohio State. I think that'd be a whole lot of fun to go to work. Yes, Marvin. And when you're at places like Ohio State and Alabama, every single week you have NFL level wide receivers. You're not playing NFL level corners every single game. So it's time for me to kill. Yes. Like, if you can't put up great numbers if you're at a big time program, you know, that's, that's a warning sign. But even when you do put up those big numbers, if you watch and, you know, you got guys who played the position and you got scouts and analysts, you know, former players, they'll say that the windows are so wide open in the NFL, they're open and then they're shut. You got to throw somebody wide open in college. They're wide open. Yes. Paulie, Going back to that draft of 2020, Jalen Hurts was taken in the middle of the second round by the Eagles. The draft reviews of that draft pick are not good for the Eagles. Too high to take a player that could be a high end backup. Haven't seen enough passing to take him in the second round. A lot of people thought he'd be a third and fourth round guy. It was, it was heavily critiqued in the moment. Yeah, because you had Carson Wentz. Right. And then they're like, well, why, why would you waste a second round draft pick, high second pick on, you know, a quarterback? And they obviously knew something. Now, Jalen Hurts isn't your prototypical quarterback. I think if he, if he was a standalone, I'm going to be the starting quarterback in Carolina or Tennessee or Cleveland. I don't think he stands out. But he is the right quarterback. You have to be the right quarterback for the right team, the right offense, the right coach. And he is that. And that's why when I get these, hey, who's better? Josh Allen or, you know, Patrick Mahomes? I'LL go. I got a factor in Jalen hurts because I've seen what he does in the biggest of games and he's gone toe to toe with Patrick Mahomes. So he's not a regular season quarterback. That's one of those where you go, just disregard the numbers. He's not going to have 40 touchdowns. But can he beat you? And he's proven that he can. Garrett in Wyoming. Hi, Garrett. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan. First time, long time. Six foot and a bush. Light 217. Dan, I. I can't believe this hasn't been brought up yet, but the toughest athletes in the world are not hockey players. Wait, are you going to go bull riders or wrestlers? What? Wrestlers. Oh, wrestlers. No, I don't think so. Yeah. Paulie, a former wrestler. Yeah. Dan, as a person who was 1 in 7 wrestling as a freshman. Wrestling is an incredibly tough, physical sport, but it's not a collision sport. I mean, you can get. You just end up with goofy ears. Yeah, it's very harsh and you got to be really tough, but it's not a collision sport. And I only have to worry about the guy who is holding on to me. In hockey, I got to worry about all these guys flying around, pucks flying around, sticks flying around. You never wrestle on ice? Believe me, I have somebody in the family tree who started wrestling. His first match was against a girl. He lost. It was. And he's. He's a tough little kid, you know, like a buster. And I think he's probably nine. And his first match, he got pinned. Oh, gosh. That's humbling. Do you want me to talk to him? I've been there. I've been there. I want to know the guy you beat. You were one in seven. One in seven. What do you think that guy who you beat. Oh. Is doing now? He's listening right now. He's embarrassed. Final hour on the way, more of your phone calls.

Dan Patrick, on legacy and pain
“I still go back—it’ll be burnt in my memory—seeing Earl Campbell in a wheelchair. And you watched him play, and I felt bad for the defensive players. And then here I see Earl Campbell, the great Earl Campbell, tough, and he’s in a wheelchair.” (22:45)
On hockey’s toughness
“Hockey players are the toughest athletes...your culture that you just—you got hit in the face. Stitch me up, I’ll be out in the second period, lose a couple of teeth.” (27:50)
The invention of hockey
“All right, so there’s a big patch of ice out here, guys. Let’s play a sport on it with sticks...Now put these shoes on with little blades, try to balance while going forward and backward. And stand over there—we’re going to shoot pucks at your face. No mask. No, 50 years from now, we’ll get you a mask.” (28:35)
Listener on Louisiana sports misery
“No excitement, trading all our best players, a young quarterback nobody really wants...Baton Rouge, dumpster fire right now...Pelicans, probably the most irrelevant franchise in the NBA right now. Shout out the Wizards.” (1:01:00)
Paulie, on laying out for slap shots
“When a hockey player, a defenseman, lays down in front of a slap shot to block it with his body...that’s something normal people can’t do. It’s a hundred miles an hour...your pads don’t cover everything on your body.” (1:27:00)
Roenick’s titanium jaw story
“He has, I think, a titanium jaw...He encourages you, ‘Go ahead, punch me as hard as you want’...It was horrifying. And he was just totally fine.” (1:24:30)
Dan and the Danettes keep the tone quick, humorous, and candid, blending sharp sports analysis with self-deprecation, playful ribbing, and honest engagement with callers, all in a conversational, sport-fan barstool style.
