Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Philadelphia Eagles’ Recent Struggles

• Eagles’ Sloppy Performance: Dan opens with a critical look at Jalen Hurts’ turnover-filled game—four interceptions and a fumble, even both on the same play (03:26–06:17).
• Jalen Hurts Analysis:
  • Dan questions Hurts' regular season consistency:

    "I don't know how we're going to view Jalen Hurts when his career is over... it could be one of those careers that's similar to Eli Manning, that he might win a couple of Super Bowls, but the regular season numbers are like, okay." (06:19)

  • Despite clutch performances in big games, Hurts’ limitations as a pure pocket passer are evident.

2. Guest Interview with Sal Paolantonio

Timestamps: 24:54–35:12

Eagles’ Game Breakdown

• One-Word Description:

  "Regressing." — Sal Paolantonio (24:56)

• Sal outlines the recurring issues:

  • Hurts not seeing open receivers (especially a pivotal miss to Dallas Goedert in overtime).
  • Avoidable mistakes leading to turnovers, notably Hurts’ ill-advised OT throw:

    "Dallas Goddard... is sitting there 8 yards downfield, wide open. And instead Jalen Hurts tries to thread the needle... Ball is tipped and picked. Game over." (25:06–26:11)

Coaching and Locker Room Dynamics

• Sal details head coach Nick Sirianni’s delayed hands-on approach in offensive meetings:

  "Why did you take so long to give your input, stick your nose in there. And then after he does, Jalen Hurts has his worst game as a pro." (27:20)

• The team is described as being in "survival mode" for the season’s final stretch (26:29).

Injury Impacts and Offensive Issues

• Eagles were missing key linemen (Lane Johnson, Jalen Carter) and have continually shuffled the offensive front (28:18–29:45).
• Over-reliance on passing against a tough Chargers defense, raising questions on play calling and quarterback decision making.

Playoff Outlook

• Sal is skeptical but allows some hope:

  "Can this be fixed? Absolutely. Can be fixed in time for this week? Can it be salvaged for a Super Bowl run? Not sure. Don't know." (30:19)

---

3. Philip Rivers Working Out for Colts – Hall of Fame Implications

• Colts’ quarterback injury woes have them considering signing 44-year-old Philip Rivers, who has been out of the league for five years (03:26, 30:36).

• Hall of Fame Question:

  • Dan asks if Rivers returning resets his Hall of Fame eligibility clock (30:50).
  • Sal: "That’s a good question. I’m on the committee and I don’t know." (31:00)
  • Further research by Paulie reveals:

    "If Rivers is signed to the active roster, his Hall of Fame eligibility resets... need to be out another five years before he's looked at. If he is signed to the practice squad, it doesn't affect his Hall of Fame status." (43:09)

• Rivers vs. Eli Manning/Brees/Ben Roethlisberger:

  • Sal ranks Rivers "maybe a notch below Eli Manning," and discusses where Big Ben and Matthew Stafford stand:

    "Matthew Stafford's a Hall of Famer. No doubt. No doubt." (33:34) On Ben Roethlisberger: "Short answer. Yes, that was my long answer." (32:30)

---

4. College Football Playoff Controversies & Notre Dame Drama

• Dan revisits the drama over Notre Dame and Miami’s rankings, questioning committee consistency (09:47–10:51).

• Notre Dame’s ACC Fallout:

  • Rumors of a looming break from the ACC, and speculation if they could move to the Big Ten.
  • Dan’s analysis:

    "Permanent damage was used yesterday by Pete Bavacqua, their athletic director. That sounds like the point of no return." (08:58)

  • Paulie shares info that Notre Dame’s upcoming press conference is annual and not likely to announce anything radical yet (17:47).

• College Playoff Format Ideas

  • Listeners call in with alternative playoff and bowl structures, including potential for bowls to open the season (17:24, 18:22).

---

5. Hall of Fame: Rivers, Manning, Roethlisberger

• Dan and Paulie compare resumes for Eli Manning vs. Ben Roethlisberger ("more Hall of Famey" game):

  "Ben is assumed. Yeah. And I would put him in over Eli in a second." (45:51)

• Dan is less confident about Eli Manning:

  "I don't think he is, but I think the two super bowl wins against the Patriots put you in because you're an average quarterback. He had two magical years." (46:26)

• Fans and Danettes weigh in on whether winning two Super Bowls outweighs merely solid stats for Hall of Fame cases.

---

6. Listener Call-ins & Miscellaneous

• Calls from across the country add color commentary—highlighting dissatisfaction with the playoff process, humorous hypothetical bowl formats, and questions about college rankings.

• One standout fan moment:

  • Caller Tony, with theatrical flair, proposes an LSU playoff adventure for "content":

    "Like I've taught my kids, if you're going to make a completely arbitrary, subjective decision, make sure there's an element of cool or adventure. What a miss." (11:47)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Sal Paolantonio on Eagles’ state:

  "Well, they're in survival modes. I don't know about regroup. They're in survival mode." (26:29)

• Dan Patrick on Jalen Hurts’ legacy:

  "It could be one of those careers that's similar to Eli Manning, that he might win a couple of Super Bowls, but the regular season numbers are like, okay." (06:19)

• Sal Paolantonio’s blunt coaching critique:

  "Why did you take so long to give your input, stick your nose in there. And then after he does, Jalen Hurts has his worst game as a pro." (27:20)

• Hall of Fame eligibility reset for Rivers:

  "If Rivers is signed to the active roster, his Hall of Fame eligibility resets... need to be out another five years before he's looked at." (43:09)

• On the College Football Playoff Committee:

  "Everybody seems to have an answer for the format, except for the people who are supposed to have an answer for the format and the College Football Playoff committee." (17:31)

[Dan Patrick]

You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio Hour 2 on this Tuesday Dan and the Danette Stan Patrick Show. We'll check in with the Eagles. What's wrong with the Eagles? Sloppy, sloppy game last night. Jalen Hurts. He cost the Eagles in a big way. You have four interceptions. Also had a fumble, had an interception and a fumble on the same play which is really rarefied air that you don't want to be in. 8 7-7 3 DP Show Email Address DP danpatrick.com Twitter Handle @ DP Show Good morning those watching on Peacock.

Go to danpatrick.com to check out the inventory. Reggie Miller a little bit later on. And the possibility that Philip Rivers will not only be on the Colts roster this weekend, but on the field is the cold starter in Seattle. We'll talk to Albert Brear, the Monday morning quarterback about that possibility. The 44 year old Philip Rivers, who I don't think has played in five years. But that is a desperate team. The Colts right now. Poll questions in the first hour were really good. Spicy there. You want to clean up the mess there. Seaton. And we move on to hour two. Yeah, Philip Rivers coming back to quarterback the Colts is a great idea or a terrible idea right now. 73 have that as a terrible idea. That is the correct answer there and man they're in trouble. Colts, Chiefs, Eagles, Ravens.

It is in that order. Colts, Chiefs, Eagles, Ravens. Yeah, it was a feel good story. It doesn't feel so good now with the Colts. They started out 7 and 1 and with the injuries to their quarterbacks with Danny Dimes, Riley Leonard came in, former Notre Dame quarterback. He's banged up a little bit and they play Seattle in Seattle coming up this weekend. Watching last night, the Chargers defense is what stood out to me. It's really good. And just asked Jalen Hurts with four interceptions. Here is Hertz after the game. Talking about the interception in.

[Sal Palantonio]

Overtime. I knew it was going to.

[Dan Patrick]

Be a tight window throw. I'd have to watch the film to see see it from the eyes films point of.

[Caller]

View. Ultimately, it's a play that I didn't.

[Dan Patrick]

Make. He got in on the.

[Caller]

Ball. That's a play that we've, we've made a million times. I'm in that scenario versus a cloud corner and I didn't make that play this time.

[Dan Patrick]

Around.

I don't know how we're going to view Jalen hurts when his career is over because it could be one of those careers that's similar to Eli Manning, that he might win a couple of Super Bowls, but the regular season numbers are like, okay. And it feels like defenses are saying, let's see if you can beat us. And you would think with those two receivers in that tight end, he would be able to beat you. But the jury is still out. At least myself, my opinion, as much as I like him in a big game and he's shown that he can play in a big game, both those Super Bowls, he played really, really well. It's just there are times when you go, what's missing here? I don't think he's a good pocket passer, a consistent one, but I do think he can come up with big plays. And his demeanor is very calm. Those are great attributes to have at the goal line. He's really good. The tush push, you know, the moment is rarely too big for him, but that's why Watts Palantonio covers the Eagles among the other teams in the NFL. But he's stationed in Philadelphia and get his thoughts on what is missing with this team. How dangerous can they still be in the NFC playoff picture? All right, 877-3DP show operators sitting by to take your phone calls. Notre Dame has a press conference in two hours from now. Based off what happened yesterday, the fallout from that, it feels like something is coming. And that was almost like a prelim to all eyes need to be on this press conference at noon Eastern with Notre Dame. Is this we're taking our balls and going home from the acc. Do they maybe come up with a partnership with the Big Ten? I'm still waiting for information on this, or at least information I can go with. And everything up until this point has been just speculation. But it felt like permanent damage. Permanent damage was used yesterday by Pete Bavacqua, their athletic director. That sounds like the point of no return. I am still waiting to get more information on what exactly was the ACC portion of The College Football Playoff committee arguing for and against with their own conference because if Virginia had won, James Madison would have been out of the playoff picture. But Miami is still in over Notre Dame. And I think that's where, and I'm going to say it one more time just so people understand, if this was reversed, just imagine the outcry. If Miami was ranked in front of Notre Dame for five weeks and nothing changed. And then all of a sudden the College Football Playoff committee says, oh, we put Notre Dame in front of Miami. How would you have reacted? So those of you who said, oh, you gave him a free pass, you know, part of being an interviewer is to give somebody an opportunity to speak. Because the more you talk, the more likely I'm going to get some information here. I'm going to get something that is going to be headline worthy. That's what you want. That's my goal. I don't get caught up in long questions. I want long answers. And Pete gave you something yesterday and it became a headline, you know, all across sports.

If it had been reversed, what would we be saying about the College Football Playoff selection show? It's, it's rigged, it's fixed. Notre Dame, the brand, what didn't happen. And I have no problem with Miami being in at all. No issue. But I have a problem that you're going to say, well, last minute we're just going to have Miami over Notre Dame. And why didn't you do that before that? That would have been my only argument. Alabama should have dropped further, in my opinion. I didn't think they look competitive against Georgia. Those are my knocks on this. Now there's other problems I have with this. I'm just curious, what exactly does permanent damage mean with Notre Dame and their relationship with the acc? Cameron in Indiana. Hi, Cam. What's on your mind.

[Caller]

Today?

I'm the piggyback on you guys with that. So I guess my question for you guys would be either the mothership or the ACC snubbing Notre Dame. Do you guys think this leads to the ACC completely being torn.

[Dan Patrick]

Down? I don't know what's going to happen with the accident. Florida State wanted out. I think that Clemson had some issues. I think, I think that there was the concern, how does the national media view the acc? And they don't view them anywhere near the SEC or the Big Ten. And I think that there was concern, a worry that are we going to be taken as seriously as some of these other conferences? And the answer is no, you don't. You're not and then you have this fiasco here as well. Yeah.

[Paulie]

Paulie. And the ACC does not have Clemson barging down the door of the SEC like it did five years ago, which kept it very.

[Dan Patrick]

Relevant.

Tony in California. Hi, Tony. What's on your.

[Caller]

Mind? Hey, good morning, Dan. Good morning, Marvin. Beautiful.

[Dan Patrick]

Day.

[Caller]

Okay.

Hey, you know, I only call in when I'm super fired up about something. And this goes against one of my life principles, the college football committee. Like I've taught my kids, if you're going to make a completely arbitrary, subjective decision, make sure there's an element of cool or adventure. What a miss. They should have bumped up arbitrarily LSU because we've got our day. Best coach in the country. Send them to Oxford. Conor McGregor could be a security guard. Shaq's up there, the governor. I don't feel long, you know what I mean? All right, we win, we take the best 10 players back to LSU with us, or we lose, and the LSU crazies come out and start calling for Link Kiffin's job. What a missed.

[Dan Patrick]

Opportunity. All right, well, thank you, Tony. You know I'm big on content. All right. I just got this from a source, and he says given that the College Football Playoff committee has until January 23rd to determine the format, I'd be surprised if anything is announced with Notre Dame that's firm. Today.

My source says I could see them maybe saying they're going to review all options for 60 days. No, once again, that's a trusted source on this. Does Notre Dame say anything that's declarative or did they say we're going to put our relationship. Now, this is what I would do. I would say we're going to put our relationship with the ACC under review over the next 30 days in the new year, we'll announce, you know, because this allows the ACC and Notre Dame to do some back channeling to be able to talk this out. And, and, and can you smooth this over? And if not, then, you know, it might be full steam ahead where they go. You know.

[Caller]

What?

[Dan Patrick]

We're. We're going to take all of our teams and go to the Big Ten, and we're going to make our schedule a little more Big Ten friendly. And then everybody wins. As far as Notre Dame in the Big Ten, and the ACC would lose out on Notre Dame when it comes to, you know, basketball and the other. I think they have 24 sports that are associated with the ACC. But that's a press conference coming up at noon Eastern, I believe. Chris in Pennsylvania. Hi, Chris. What's on your mind.

[Caller]

Today? Hey, Dan, I was watching and first of all, thanks. You guys provide such entertainment for me in the morning. It's tremendous. But anyway, it's watching the SEC Nation this weekend, and one of the SEC hosts mentioned that he was speaking with a higher up in the SEC chain and the guy said to him, he goes, what are we doing here? So, you know, they're, they're relying on the committee. So maybe I'm thinking SEC goes on their own. All four conferences go on their own. You have your championship weekend with your top four teams like they had last weekend. You take your two winners, SEC goes to the Sugar Bowl, ACC goes the Orange Bowl, Big 12 down the Cotton Bowl, Big 10 to the Rose Bowl. You get your champion of each conference there, and then you say, okay, fellas, we're headed to Arizona and we're going to have a Final Four weekend in Arizona and we'll get a national champion out of it. Or, you know, two weekends, you can't play day after that. I, I just think that they want to. If you want to get the committee out of the whole count things, each conference takes on their own, their own.

[Dan Patrick]

Thing. All right, a lot of scenarios here. Let's decide how many teams we're going to have next year. Because I've heard from staying firm at 12 to going to 14 or going to 16.

I think it's in a state of flux here. How about we figure that out here? The fact that Notre Dame is locked in, if they're ranked 12th or lower or higher, I guess 12th or better, they're in the college football playoffs next year. Where did that come from?

So for everybody who says Notre Dame doesn't have any cachet, they just manipulated the system to say we're in it if we're ranked in the top 12. I know Paul Feinbomb was on the mothership saying, hey, nobody cares about Notre Dame the way they think they do. I'm paraphrasing.

And maybe that's, you know, it's not the way it was when we're growing up. Notre Dame still holds know cachet. They do. They just said to the College Football Playoff committee, if we're in the top 12, then we're going to be in the playoffs. And they accepted that.

That's when you got some swag. Whether Paul Feinbomb I and we reached out to Fein Bomb. I think he's going to join us tomorrow on the program. Let me see, what else do we have here? Jeff and Austin. Hi, Jeff. What's on your.

[Caller]

Mind. Good morning, Dan.

Hey, can you hear me.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay?

[Sal Palantonio]

Yep.

[Caller]

Hey. Six two. And I've always been big bone. 265. Big bone and big bone.

[Dan Patrick]

Baby. I got.

[Caller]

It. Me and my buddies came up with a new format for the college playoffs. How about we cancel the championship games, the conference championship games, and on that Saturday have the first four, the last four in and the first four out play each other. So you'd have Notre Dame versus James Madison, Texas versus, you know, whoever. The other small ones.

[Dan Patrick]

Were.

[Caller]

Tulane. Tulane, yeah. And have them four play on that Saturday and whoever wins those four are in the.

[Dan Patrick]

Playoffs. Well, I gotta be careful of how many games I'm asking these college kids to play as well, but thank you. Everybody seems to have an answer for the format, except for the people who are supposed to have an answer for the format and the College Football Playoff committee. Yes.

[Paulie]

Paulie. I got a little more from a person who knows exactly the agenda. Today's Notre Dame press conference. Nothing is being announced today at the Notre Dame press conference. This is a scheduled press conference and they did this last year. End of the season press conference. It happened a little earlier than they expected. It's a. They do it every year to end the regular season. I'll talk about the football program, the contract of the coaches, and they will touch on the ACC topic some.

[Dan Patrick]

More.

Yeah, Marvin, do you think other schools like Notre Dame that have national championship aspirations or expectations will, if they don't make the playoffs, they won't go.

[Caller]

Into a bowl game going.

[Dan Patrick]

Forward? I wonder about the future of bowl games. I do, and that's why I brought it up yesterday. Can you see a scenario where bull season is not at the end of the year, it's at the beginning of the year. Therefore, you're guaranteed great matchups. We can also get matchups where you're going to play a quality opponent to start the year, and then all of a sudden, you know, you're playing games in September and weather won't be an issue. I just, I wonder if that's. Now, you could have back end bowl games, but as far as the big bowl games, and I know there's a lot of, you know, obstacles here, hurdles here, but if you want to save the bowl games, you might have to flip the script here and have them to start the year. You know, when the ACC plays the Big Ten in basketball, like, we don't even blink with that. It's like, those are great matchups. Beginning of the year. Now, granted, you're playing 30 games, you strength, the schedule and all of those, you know, playing somebody, beating somebody or even if you lose to somebody on a neutral site, you know, doesn't damage you the way it might in college football. But at least you're going to save the bowl games. They're going to mean something because if you add Notre Dame playing in the Pop Tart bowl, you got the best running back in college football. Who wouldn't play? Jeremiah Love and probably three or four or five other Notre Dame players and maybe some players from byu.

You know, that's the problem that I have with this. If you're going to have the bowl games, you want to have a decent representation of that school.

And I don't blame these kids if they're going to sit out, you know, when Christian McCaffrey and Leonard Fournette did, oh, my God, what are you doing to your teammates? You've done everything you could up until that year, that part of the season, and now you're playing in the Sun Bowl. I'm okay if you're going to sit this one out because you're going to play in the NFL, you've done everything you can for the school.

But I do wonder about the future of bowl games there. All right, we'll take a break. Sal Palantonio stops by. How concerned is he with the way the Eagles played last night, the way the Eagles have been playing, and do they have that ability to be able to flip the switch? Sal Pal joins us next.

Why? Well, you know, Jalen Hurts didn't see wide open receivers once again and his interceptions I thought were totally avoidable. Let's just go to the last one. In overtime, he flushes to his right. Now listen, this, this drive in overtime was a thing of beauty by the offense and Jalen Hurts, it was an example, an illustration of the good, the bad and the ugly of this offense this year. So they're driving down the field on the road under duress in overtime to try to win the football game when they couldn't get out of their own way. He's got them on a 1st and 10. The Chargers have been flushing him out of the pocket all game long. He's flushed to his right. Dallas Goddard, who has been his security blanket all game. Dan is sitting there 8 yards downfield, wide open. And instead Jalen Hurts tries to thread the needle to the goal line area to Johan Dotson. Ball is tipped and picked. Game over. That play to me is indicative from what I see, that drive and that play is indicative of what I think the Eagles could be and what they have.

[Dan Patrick]

Become. How dangerous are they here trying to regroup with the final month of the regular.

[Sal Palantonio]

Season?

Well, they're in survival modes. I don't know about regroup. They're in survival mode. They got four games left. They start with the Raiders, which is an absolute stone cold lock. Must win football game at home after losing three in a row. And then the Commanders twice. But the Bill sandwiched in between on the road in Buffalo. So clearly they must win three out of four. But you know, they got to get it right with Jalen Hurts. So Nick Sirianni, as Tim McManus, my colleague on ESPN.com reported earlier in the week, finds himself now in the offensive meeting rooms for the first time, giving his input more and more into the offense. Question, of course, being begged, what took so.

[Dan Patrick]

Long?

[Sal Palantonio]

Right.

Why are we waiting until after two losses when the offense could get out of its way against Detroit and Green Bay and Chicago? So there's that. Why did you take so long to give your input, stick your nose in there. And then after he does, Jalen Hurts has his worst game as a pro.

Throws four Interceptions. Last time that's happened for an Eagles quarterback was Donovan McNabb. 1999, when Donovan McNabb was a.

[Dan Patrick]

Rookie. Yeah, he's such a conundrum, because, as I've mentioned, if it's a big game in the bright lights, Jalen Hurts has played extremely well. It's just we're going to look at his regular season and its numbers and go, why? But you look at the postseason and you go, is that the same guy? Why? Why do we have this dichotomy of regular season, postseason with.

[Sal Palantonio]

Him? Well, I think there's a couple of things for this year. Let's just focus on this particular year where they are right. You know, last night they were missing their best offensive lineman, Lane Johnson, their best defensive lineman, Jalen Carter. They turned the ball over five times and they were still in position to win it in overtime. So that's the big picture. That's also the little picture, which is they've had a lot of moving parts on the offensive line. But, hey, so did the Buffalo Bills when they went into Acres Stadium two weeks ago without their two starting offensive tackles. They put two tight ends on the right side seven plays in a row and ran James Cook flushing him out one on one with a corner. And they piled up big yards in the running game. So you can adjust. Next man up is the concept in the NFL if you do it right. But the Eagles haven't gotten it right yet. With their offensive line hurt, Lane Dickerson leaves the game. That's also an issue. But here's the bottom line. They threw it 40 times last night, only ran at 25 against the two deep safety zone defense. That kills the passing game. The chargers were number two against the pass. Why are you throwing it 40 times? That's on the coaches. That's on the quarterback. That's on Petullo, Sirianni and Jalen Hurts. He has the ability to go to line of scrimmage and check with me and hand it to Saquon. Everybody's wondering, why did Saekon do well, so well last night? Well, because the Chargers let you run the ball if you want to. Troy Aikman had a great breakdown late in the game. Saquon goes into the A gap. If he had just gone to the outside to the D gap, which was wide open, he had clear sailing to a linebacker and a safety. So part of it is on Saquon, and this is a running team. And the other guy who's not running well, Dan is the.

[Dan Patrick]

Quarterback.

[Sal Palantonio]

Yeah. Whether he's Choosing not to or they don't have enough design runs for him. Can this be fixed? Absolutely. Can be fixed in time for this week? Can it be salvaged for a Super bowl run? Not sure. Don't.

[Dan Patrick]

Know. Talking to Sal Palantonio, ESPN national correspondent covering the NFL, Philip Rivers may be coming back. I'm wondering, what does that do for his hall of Fame candidacy?

Do they start the clock like he's eligible for hall of Fame discussion? But if he comes back and starts to play again, does the clock.

[Sal Palantonio]

Reset? That's a good question. I'm on the committee and I don't know.

That wasn't the question. I thought you were going to ask me. I thought you were going to ask me. How in the world can a guy come back to the league at age 44 after half a decade of being with his kids and his family? And I love Philip Rivers, great family and devoted to his children. But now he's being enticed to come back by his friends in Indianapolis, and that's all good. And we've seen what's happened with Aaron Rodgers. We don't know what kind of shape Philip Rivers in. I'm sure they're checking him out. I hope he comes back. It'll be a great story. It tells the story not only of where Indianapolis is, but where the NFL is on the quarterback.

[Caller]

Position.

[Sal Palantonio]

Right. So we'll see what happens with Philip Rivers. He's on the bubble. You know, we voted last year and Eli Manning didn't get in. I voted for Eli Manning. I'm a big, big supporter of eli. You win two Super Bowl MVPs, short list. Got to get in. Didn't get it. Philip Rivers is maybe Dan a notch below Eli Manning. Drew Brees will get in this year, most likely. Hope he does. I will vote for him. And then there's Eli and Philip Rivers. And let's not forget about Big Ben. So that's the, you know, the pipeline of quarterbacks with hall of Fame. So Philip Rivers is in the conversation, but not at the top of the.

[Dan Patrick]

Conversation. Ben's in.

[Sal Palantonio]

Correct? You would think so. For sure. I mean, you know, I was talking to Merrill Hodge, who we used to be together on the NFL matchup show. Merrill used to play in Pittsburgh. You know, he's got, as I used to say on the show, take the black and gold underwear off once in a while.

So. But he loves Big Ben and so do I. And the thing is, when you look at Ben, he raised the level of everybody around him for a lot of reasons. Strong army. That mobility early in his career. I remember Bill Parcells talking about the fact that Big Ben was like a, you know, oak tree on roller skates. You couldn't bring him down. Great mobility in the pocket, terrific accuracy. And he's got the titles and the numbers. So. Short answer. Yes, that was my long answer.

[Dan Patrick]

Sorry. Yeah. What's Matthew Stafford's resume missing, if anything, in your opinion, for hall of.

[Sal Palantonio]

Fame? Not missing.

[Dan Patrick]

Anything.

[Sal Palantonio]

Okay. Matthew Stafford's a Hall of.

[Dan Patrick]

Famer.

No.

[Sal Palantonio]

Doubt. No.

[Dan Patrick]

Doubt. First ballot.

[Sal Palantonio]

Tough. It's always tough. First ballot. You know, we're talking Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, John Elway. And are you that guy? Probably not, but he gets.

[Dan Patrick]

In.

Chris Sims brought up the analogy with Josh Allen that he is the modern day John Elway.

What do you think of.

[Sal Palantonio]

That? I like it. I like that analogy. Quite a bit close, but no cigar. Super strong arm, can put on the cape, take over a football game, go back and just watch just some of the highlights with. Throw in the all 22 if you like to. Like I did of just the Bills offense because I'm doing Bills at Patriots in Foxborough. First time I'm going back to Patriot place, by the way, since Tom Brady left. Oh, and why wouldn't you? This is a huge game. But go back and look at the Bills offense, especially in the second half in the driving snow. Yeah, right. And Josh Allen, three touchdown passes. Runs for another one. The longest touchdown run of his career in the driving snow. What a performance by Josh.

[Dan Patrick]

Allen. Good to catch up with you again. I like when you're fired up there. Thank you for joining us.

[Sal Palantonio]

Sal. Dan, you get me fired up.

[Dan Patrick]

There.

That mission accomplished. Thank you, Sal.

Salantonio, ESPN national correspondent covering the NFL. You know, I don't know if I ever told Sal. Maybe I did. But there was a moment on the 6 o' clock sports center when I realized that I shouldn't be doing SportsCenter anymore. I threw it out to Sao Pale. Antonio, I think we started the show and you know, we went out to Sao Paul for something breaking with the NFL and I'm. I just, I remember doing it and Sal's talking. I don't know if I'm even listening. And I'm going.

I shouldn't be doing this. And I, I'm not any good at this. I don't want to do this anymore. And it was just weird. And then Sal goes, all right, back to you, Dan. I go, thank you so. And then just went about my business there. Did I tell you that, Sal, that I I. I threw it out to you. And I decided not nothing to do with your reporting, but I. In that moment, as you're talking, I was like, I'm done with doing SportsCenter. I've. I've. What am I doing? I'm an old man.

[Sal Palantonio]

Here. You know, I get that all the time at home doing Sports center, and nobody's.

[Dan Patrick]

Listening. You're watching.

Thank you, sir. All right. Yeah. So that was just one of those real moments, live tv. And I'm going to. I am the old guy here. Everybody else is gone or they're doing specialized shows, and what am I doing? I'm 50 years of age and I'm doing SportsCenter. Yes, Todd, that's an extremely honest thing. He just shared. A lot of people fake it or would never admit that they were. Had their mind elsewhere in the middle of a national broadcast. So that's pretty cool. Oh, yeah, yeah. There are times when you daydream. That's why I've asked golfers before, like, you're in a big moment. Do you ever daydream? You ever. Like, why is this thought in my head? You know, you have the famous Joe Montana in the super bowl against the Bengals where he's trying to calm his team down, and he goes, oh. And he's telling his offensive lineman, is that John Candy over there in the. In. In the stadium? And, you know, just random things. But yeah, that. That did come to mind. I throw it. And Salantonio joins us. I throw it out. I go, God, I am. Oh, what am I doing? What am I doing? Thank you, Sal. Coming up, Coors Light, six pack of questions or whatever we would do back then. Yeah, yeah, Coors, I. You know, it'd be two Johnny. Good Times.

Johnny Clayton would join us. Or it'd be Salisbury against John Clayton. That was the duo right there. They went at each other. Yeah. Dustin in Ohio. Hi, Dustin. What's on your mind.

[Caller]

Today?

[Dan Patrick]

What? Hey, Dustin. Yeah.

[Caller]

Okay. Dustin in Alabama, but that's all right. Roll tie. Hey, two quick comments and then a question regarding my Saints. One, the comment. I really love yesterday's interviews and all, and the possibility of moving the bowl games. The beginning of the season. You know, you kind of already got Labor Day weekend built in there where you could stretch out, say, 20, 30 big games over four or five days, put them in cities that probably are normally too cold to have bowl games anyways. So I love that idea. To.

The game last night. You know, the script was already written for a coach named Nick in overtime to win with Devontae Smith on the field. And the answer to win that game is you bench Jalen. You put into a I was at.

[Dan Patrick]

That. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Dustin. Dustin not from Ohio. Dustin from Alabama. We'll take a break. The Philip Rivers question that I surprised Sal Pal, who is a voter for the hall of Fame. If you come back to play do then we have to reset the clock for you to be eligible for the Pro football Hall of Fame. That'll keep you in your seat. We're back after this.

The Philip Rivers hall of Fame status if he comes back, does he do they reset the clock? If he plays in a game, suits up for a game with the.

[Paulie]

Colts, there's some nuance to it. So Rivers is a semifinalist for the class of 2026. The upcoming class. Oh, he's just months away from either being in or waiting another year. Okay. According to the hall of Fame, if Rivers is signed to the active roster, his hall of Fame eligibility resets. It would need to be out another five years before he's looked at. If he assigned to the practice squad, it doesn't affect his hall of Fame status. So active roster, whether he takes a snap or not, resets his.

[Dan Patrick]

Status. Can he get what if he plays in the game this.

[Paulie]

Weekend? He's reset new clock five years. He would now be up for the class of 2031, I.

[Dan Patrick]

Think. But he's a semifinalist this year.

[Paulie]

Yes, but it hasn't been decided yet. It's like if he joins the active roster for the Colts or another team, he takes his name off the 2026 hall of Fame.

[Dan Patrick]

Ballot.

Yes, Todd, that seems terribly unfair. I don't like that. You get more and more forgotten over time. And then there's new writers that are voting other. I don't. He could be adding to his resume. He could be taken away from it like Russell Wilson.

[Paulie]

Has. Yes, Paul, this is absolutely a great thing for Phil Rivers because let's say he goes to the hall of fame in 2031. All his kids will be grown up, and they could be there, and about six or seven more grandkids can.

[Dan Patrick]

Attend. But is he playing his way out? We don't.

[Paulie]

Know. His last year with the Colts, he was 11 and 5 as a starter, and he had, like, 27 touchdowns. He was not limping to the finish. I mean, he was Tech.

[Dan Patrick]

Figuratively. Who is more hall of Famey? Paulie has two candidates.

[Paulie]

Yeah. We haven't played this in a while. Based off these stats, who should go in the hall of fame first? Quarterback 1. 117 and 117 as a starter, two Super bowl wins, eight total playoff wins, six total playoff appearances, 366 touchdowns, 244 picks, 57,000 career.

[Dan Patrick]

Yards. So Eli.

[Paulie]

Manning. Correct. Quarterback 2. 165 and 81 in the regular season, two Super bowl wins, 13 playoff wins, 12 playoff appearances, four hundred and eighteen yards. I'm sorry. Touchdowns, 211 picks, 64,000 yards.

Would you agree that Quarterback 2 is way, way, way more hall of Famey based off the.

[Dan Patrick]

Stats?

[Paulie]

Yeah. That's Ben.

[Dan Patrick]

Roethlisberger.

[Paulie]

Yeah. It doesn't feel like he's as automatic as Eli is in, well.

[Dan Patrick]

Conversation. It feels like we're talking about Eli because we're not sure. I. I don't. I haven't heard anybody say. Yeah. I don't know if Ben's a Hall of Famer. With Eli, it feels like. I don't know if he's a Hall of Famer. Feels like Ben is a. Yeah. Hall of.

[Paulie]

Famer.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Eli. It's like. I don't.

[Paulie]

Know. So Ben's.

[Dan Patrick]

Assumed. Yeah. And I would put him in over Eli in a.

[Paulie]

Second. He might be underrated because his Super Bowls happened so early in his.

[Dan Patrick]

Career. Yeah. Well, he doesn't get credit for the first one as much. And Jerome Bettis talked about that on the show. You know, Ben, they kind of won maybe in spite of him. Yes. That's the Problem with getting them early is that then you never get back there. That becomes a storyline. Well, he got them early. Never got back there, though, or, you know, never got another one. Yeah, those are big numbers, though.

You know, the 400 touchdowns, only 211 picks, two Super bowl victories, 12 playoff wins. You know, those are big numbers. But I haven't heard anybody go. I don't know if Ben is. We have. We've spent time. We spent shows on Eli Manning. Is he a Hall of Famer? And I don't think he is, but I think the two super bowl wins against the Patriots put you in because you're an average quarterback. He had two magical years. Now he's durable. He played all the time. He played in New York. Your famous family. I understand all of that. But, you know, you're. You're going to put him in based off two. Two seasons because that's what we. Bottom line, you won two Super Bowls and he did. And he played really well in those Super Bowls. Really well, big time. And you beat Brady and you beat Belichick. Yes, Mark. You mean two postseasons. Because they barely got into the playoffs those two.

[Sal Palantonio]

Years.

[Dan Patrick]

Right? That's it. I think those were the only postseasons that he was.

[Paulie]

In. No play. Eli made six playoff appearances. He only won games that you're Two.

[Dan Patrick]

Years. Yes. Okay, let's see. Gobs in Plymouth. I don't know if I pronounced that.

[Caller]

Right. You got it.

[Dan Patrick]

Perfect. Okay. What's on your.

[Caller]

Mind? Hey, I was listening to your interview with Pete Baklava, Notre Dame yesterday, and he said that they signed a letter of memorandum of understanding that if Notre dame is ranked 12th or higher next year, that they automatically get.

[Dan Patrick]

In.

[Caller]

Yeah. Well, last year, Alabama was controversially left out of the playoffs. And I was wondering if Alabama had the same kind of agreement for this.

[Dan Patrick]

Year. You know what? I'm going to get some of my best people on that. I think that's a fair question to ask, because Notre Dame, for some reason.

Are they the only ones who got this? If you're in the top 12, you're in the postseason. I'm shocked that the College Football Playoff committee would agree to that.

I got. Maybe somebody can explain that to me. We're like, sure, we'll sign that. You will? Yeah.

Let me see. What else do we have here? Steve in Wyoming. Hi, Steve. What's on your mind today? Hey.

[Caller]

Dan. How are.

[Dan Patrick]

You? Good.

[Caller]

Sir. Wanted to touch back on what Paul talked about bobbleheads last hour. I can give you a little information as a Guy who is a collector for many decades. So they go back to.

Bobbleheads, like the 1760s when the Chinese were making them and they were imported into Europe. And then fast forward to the early 60s, they started baseball, started making them out of paper mache. They had originally four player players and there's only four that were really the original ones. It was Maris, Mantle, Maize and Clemente. And then later they had variations of white base and gold base. And depending on the variations, they could be worth many hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. In fact, they even had dark face.

Dolls. They're called dolls. And those were much more rare, were not collected as well. And if you were fortunate enough to find one in a box somewhere, those could be worth thousands of dollars. Then they rolled out the miniatures which had a magnet on the bottom. And those were what we used to put on our dashboards back in the. In the seventies, if you.

[Dan Patrick]

Recall. Yeah, yeah. What is the most valuable modern day.

[Caller]

Bobblehead?

The most valuable would be Clemente.

Back in that era. Modern day. I don't know, I never collected. I don't really collect for modern day bobbleheads. It became so prolific. But I got one other quick question for you, Dan. Do you recall this back game one 2002, you and I met outside at a beer kiosk at Anaheim Stadium and I bought you a beer and I was wondering what you think the chances are of you and I getting together for a beer at Angels World Series before our days on this planet are.

[Dan Patrick]

Done. Well, we might get together for a beer. It won't be for an Angels World Series, but. Paulie, remember I told you about.

[Paulie]

Steve. You said the kiosk, he said he's a great.

[Dan Patrick]

Guy. Yeah, yeah, I met Steve. I was at the World Series Floppy Drinkers and he got me a beer. Yeah. And yeah, of course, I'll never forget that. Thank you, Steve. The history of the bobbleheads. Bobblehead. Albert Breerger gonna join us. Talk about Philip Rivers coming back Monday morning. Quarterback and Reggie Aloysius Miller Jr. The third will stop by as well. Two hours in the books.
