You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio Hour 2 on this Friday. Meet Friday. Morale is high. We got turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, green bean Casserole and stuffing. Who has it better than we do? Nobody. We'll hear from Seton. He's on the road en route to Vegas. He's close to Denver, I think, but we'll talk to him a little bit. Dylan's in Seaton's chair doing the poll question honors. Marvin's here. Fritzi Pauliers truly in the back room. Guys, we say good morning if you're watching on Peacock. Thank you for downloading the app on Monday. Also be available on the NBC Sports Network as they relaunch that. We say good morning to our radio affiliates as well. 877-3-DP show we'll come up with a new poll question for hour two. Rob Gronkowski honored last night. Patriots gang. He'll join us coming up here in a little bit. Let's pull question from. Well, let's clean up our one and then what are we doing? Hour two. Dylan. All right, so from hour one, which NFL team is in the best shape for the next five years? The Patriots are running away with it out of the Broncos, Lions and Commanders. Okay, for this hour, Dan, if you have a Drake may MVP tickets, I think Paulie said there were plus 6,000 preseason. If you're holding one of those right now, are you holding or selling? Well, how much can I make? If I sell? Say you say you get half for the sake of argument. So 30 to 1 someone will buy it. Okay, so I could keep it at 60 to 1. Yes. With the chance it doesn't pay. I would ride it. I'd ride it out. Let's say I had a thousand dollars on Drake may be an MVP. They sell it now for 30 or you ride it. So I can make $30,000 today or the potential for $60,000? Yeah, 30,000 is a lot of money. It is safe money. But the story, the story that you had him, you know, you can say, I had him and I bet him in the preseason, you know, you'll get people say, yeah, I knew he was going to be great. Yeah. Oh, I, I thought he was going to be mvp. No, you actually have a ticket that says I thought he was going to be mvp. Yeah, I have physical proof. I would keep it. I would keep the 60, 60 to 1 odds. Yeah, Paulie, I'd keep it. Here are the defenses Drake May is going against the next two months. Bengals, Giants, Bills, Ravens, Jets, Dolphins. There's a lot of wins there. Yeah. If they end up with the best record in the afc, he's probably, well, depends on what Matthew Stafford does with the Rams. If you're looking at league mvp, they don't do afc, nfc. You know, like baseball has American League nationally. Who would be the MVP between Aaron Judge and Shohei Otani if there was only one mvp? Ohtani. Okay, okay, just throw that out there. By the way, we did spend a lot of time talking about this. First hour. Aaron Judge, that's his third MVP in the last four years. Ohtani has won four in the last five years. So you get the big markets, you get true superstars, you get future hall of Famers, all time greats. Aaron Judge got 17 of 30 first place votes. Cal Raleigh received the other 13. And Shohei Otani went 30 for 30 on his votes as well. First time in baseball history. First time. Both MVPs from one season repeated the following season. Brought to you by Panini America. And Aaron Judge appears to be getting better after the age of 30. And there were concerns that big swing. I think that he is. He's made himself a better player. I think he's, he's limited the pitches that he's going after now. He's just a smarter hitter. And of course, when he hits it, it's gone. Yes, Dylan, I know people are kind of out on it, but bad on batting average. But batting.330 today with that power is pretty impressive, people. Okay, but let's make up our mind. Does batting average matter or it doesn't? Because we seem to factor it when we wanted to matter. And then with Cal Raleigh it'd be like, well, nobody cares about batting average. So let's. Can we make up our mind here? Because it used to mean something. But that was back when I was young. That's a long time ago. You, you took great pride in the number of strikeouts and what your batting average was. Then you put in all the other stats there. But, you know, does fielding matter anymore? Do we care? Used to be you knew the Gold Glove winners and we don't care. We don't focus on it. It's not a big deal. You know, I brought up Cal Raleigh as a Gold Glove catcher. Nobody, you know, it's like, okay, great. What's that mean? Like, and he's out there every single game. So I don't know. And I did say yes. Location factored in, because if he does that, he's the second coming of Thurman Munson if he's a Yankee. And if Aaron Judge does it, it's like there's a, there's a curiosity of, wow, that guy, that big guy is hitting a lot of Home runs. Nobody's focusing on his batting average. We focus on home runs. That's it. And strikeouts. That's it. Now we're getting better. I think baseball's coming back to where it used to be, or at least is on the doorstep. But, you know, we can't bring up batting average and then we don't care about batting average. Yeah. Pauling, I looked at your Aaron Judge stat. In his 20s, in six seasons, he had 158 home runs. In his 30s, only four seasons, 210 homers. Yeah. All right. 877.3dp. Show Dave in Ohio. Hi, Dave. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan, how you doing? Good, bud. Hey, this was calling. Get really frustrated with guys like Jose Ramirez not getting nearly enough votes for mvp. I don't think either Judge or Raleigh, what's his name, could you. Yeah, right. Thank you. Could have done what he did and bringing the Indians to the play or the guardians of the playoffs again, nobody hitting before him or after him. You know, you plant either one of those other two guys in front, maybe they don't have nearly the years that they do. Well, he deserved a little bit more love, but those guys were. It was so top heavy. One and two between Judge and Raleigh. And Ramirez is a great player, but, you know, he's kind of lost in Cleveland. He. You almost have to be told or you have to go out of your way to find something like that. Cal Raleigh had the great nickname. He got a lot of attention. I mean, we had him on probably the first, I don't know, two months of the season. And part of it was got a great nickname and. And he had had good numbers. He's always been a good catcher, but he was hitting, you know, mid 30 home runs. Then all of a sudden there was something special there. Let's see. Johnny in West Texas. Hi, John. Hey. Okay, so couple of things. First of all, if we all disagree about this judge versus Cal Raleigh thing is that. Does that not devalue the entire award system to begin with? Also, if Luciano in Brooklyn is going to talk about house arrest and then segue into talking about Aaron Judge, he needs to say Aaron Judge, because when he goes judge this, judge that I'm still thinking we're talking about. Point well taken, John. Yeah, Luciano was. He had some issues. Had to go before a judge. He took off his ankle bracelet and he said that he was. He couldn't get reception for the Dan Patrick show, I think, or call into the show, and the judge let him off. Yes, Marvin if he gets in any more trouble. Luciano, we're talking about, would you go to the judge and speak on his behalf? Well, I don't know what trouble he's getting into. Like, he, He. He wasn't specific that there was an altercation at the barber shop. I don't know what he did. I don't want to go in there and go. I, you know, I vouch for him. I'm not vouching for any of you guys. If you got in trouble. Yes, Todd, Is there gonna be, like, a court order for you to appear? And now your name keeps coming up. They're gonna have to talk to you at some point. Ben in California. Good morning, Ben. What's on your mind? Hi. Good morning, Dan. 57220. Soft, soft. First time, long time call listener. You know, I was. I was in prison for seven years a while back, and my cellie and I used to watch you Audience channel. And when it was on tv, when you were on that channel with you and Rich Eisen and my cellie and I, we wanted to call in so bad that we. We. We rented a phone out in the prison from a cell phone from another inmate, and we tried to call in when we were on hold trying to get in. We ended up getting caught. What happened? We got in some trouble. How much did it cost to run out of phone in prison? About $250. Oh, my goodness. So it was a costly mistake. But this is another prisoner not from the commissary? No, this is another prisoner, correct? Yeah. No, there's. There's tons of cell phones in prison. Just depends where you're at. So you could watch us in prison? Yes, I could watch you on TV in prison on the Audience channel. And then when they got rid of that channel, we had to go to Fox Sports Radio, but. Yeah. Well, I'm glad I could keep you company, Ben, and I hope you're doing well on the outside. You are on the outside. I am on the outside. I'm doing amazing. I've been out for five years. Thank you. Good for you. Thank you, Ben. All right. That's what I love about this show. Our calendars are up there. Huge sales in prisons. Everyone knows that. Oh, God, that'd be funny. Hey, I had your calendar in my celly. It happens. It happens. There is. I don't know what month it is, but Fritzi reenacts the Janet Jackson Rolling Stone cover where she had her top off and her husband at the time had his hands over her breast. Marvin has his hands over Todd's breast not covering much. Yeah, one of. One of the months there. There is nudity. There is nudity in the calendar. Calendar is available@danpatrick.com autograph calendars and non autographed. Also, we got tailgate moonshine as well. Yes, that month may be up the whole year in prison on some of the walls. Who knows? Simon in Virginia. Hi, Simon. What's on your mind today? Hey. Hey, Dan. I got a potential poll question for you, if you like it. Sure. Does LeBron sciatica make him more relatable or more soft? He's more relatable to me now because he's getting older, but thank you, Simon. I don't think he's soft. I would never say that about LeBron as far as physical condition, but having had sciatica. All right, LeBron and I similar athletes now. Yes. Paul, what exactly is sciatica? I just know it hurts. It's your back and it hurts, and there's nothing you can do about it. I mean, it's somewhat chronic, like when you get it. No, no, I. I had it one time. Oh. I. It's like kidney stones. You. You never. You don't want to get it again. You don't want to get it the first time. Yes, Todd, I currently have it. They're saying that I should go for physical therapy for stretching, basically. I don't know if it's different than other people, but you feel pain in, like, your glute and your tush region, and it goes all the way, like, down your leg, maybe even all the way to your foot. And it's just a very tingly cramping sensation that just kind of lingers consistently. What else do you have going on? I got pretty much a lot. I know you're bronchitis. I just found out yesterday. You're the. You're the game of operation. Right. But the right to the right glutes down the back of the leg there. Were you officially diagnosed with bronchitis? Yes. Okay. And officially diagnosed with sciatica. That is what they think. Yesterday I told them I've been bothered by this for a few months now, and I explained what it was, and they think it's a sciatic nerve thing and that I should go to physical therapy. Okay. And then stretch it out. Then you got the. The foot issue. Got the. Yeah, I had the plantar fasciitis. And then you had the forearm issue the forearms got when I swung the wiffle ball back too hard. Yeah. There's Crohn's There's a lot of things going on. Okay. All right. Yeah. Paul, is bronchitis contagious? They told me I can go to work, but you know, just keep a, keep a safe distance and suck on my halls and take my, my antibiotic and so I don't want to put you guys at risk. So you're coughing right on the back of Paulie's neck. Yeah, I'm trying to put my arm up a little bit. Now we got the window there. So Dylan's seat and put up this mirror, you know, so Dylan's okay on the left over there. Yes. We put up that Plexiglas glass window. McLovin did. Because you were coughing on him all the time. Yeah. Right around this time of the year, I get a barking hacking call. It is that this is that time of the year. And I hear it and I go, no, no, no, no, no wheezing and yeah, it's tough to sleep. Yeah, I know. All right, well, you got all weekend to convalesce. That's right. Watching some major NFL and college football games. Rob Gronkowski set to join us coming up next.

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 Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm Robert Smith and this is Jacob Goldstein and we used to host a show called Planet Money. And now we're back making this new podcast called Business History about the best ideas and people and businesses in history and some of the worst people, horrible ideas and destructive companies in the history of business. Having a genius idea without a need for it is nothing. It's like not having it at all. It's a very simple, elegant lesson. Make something people want. First episode, how Southwest Airlines use cheap seats and free whiskey to fight its way into the airline business. The most Texas story ever. There's a lot of mavericks in that story. We're gonna have mavericks on the show. We have plenty of robber barons. So many robber barons. And you know what? They're not all bad. And we'll talk about some of the classic great moments of famous business geniuses, along with some of the darker moments that often get overlooked, like Thomas Edison and the electric chair. Listen to business history on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What do you get when you mix 1950s Hollywood, a Cuban musician with a dream, and one of the most iconic sitcoms of all time? You get Desi Arness, 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 as part of the My Cultura Podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. What up, y'? All? It's your boy, Kev onstage. I want to tell you about my new podcast called Not My Best Moments, where I talk to artists, athletes, entertainers, creators, friends, people I admire who had massive success about their massive failures. What did they mess up on? What is their heartbreak, and what did they learn from it? I got judged horribly. The judges were like, you're trash. I don't know how you got on the show. Boo. Somebody had tomatoes. I'm kidding. But if they had tomatoes, they would have thrown the tomatoes. Let's be honest, we've all had those moments we'd rather forget. We bumped our head, we made a mistake, the deal fell through. We're embarrassed. We failed. But this podcast is about that and how we made it through. So when they sat me down, they were kind of like, we got into the small talk and they were just like, so what do you got? What ideas? And I was like, oh, no. What? Check out. Not my best moment with me, Kev on Stage on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts. Rob Gronkowski, four time Super bowl champ. He's a contributor to Fox NFL Sunday in New England, retiring as a patriot and second year with the T Mobile Friday night 5G lights competition. We talked about it last year. We'll talk about that coming up. Great to see you again. What do you see when you see Drake May? Yes, I kind of see a little clone of the great Tom Brady in ways. I mean, the way that he's able to read a defense, the way he's able to float the ball over coverage and hit his receivers or hit his tight end. The way he's been able to get it to the guy that's open. Like, say, instead of forcing the ball, he'll check it down to the running back and get five yards instead of, you know, instead of tossing it deep and having a possible interception. He'll hit the, he'll hit the guy that's going underneath and they'll be a eight yard play and then they'll just keep the chains moving from there. So Drake May, he's a smart and intelligent football player just like Tom Brady. I see a lot of similarities big time. Now the one thing that would stand out is Drake Mays athleticism. Like he, he can, he can run a little bit. I mean was Tom ever athletic, fast? Well, Tom is very athletic for not being athletic. I mean he was drafted out of high school as a catcher, you know, as a baseball player, which is shocking. You're like, oh my gosh, you were a baseball player too. I mean for not not being able to run super fast, he still has great running form, you know, not to be able to run around in the pocket and move out to the left and right. He's able to, he makes up for it and he's able to read a defense better than any other quarterback. Tom knows his strengths, he knows his weaknesses and he focused on his strengths so much that they became so dominant that it didn't matter. He didn't, he didn't have the ability to run the ball for a first down because he didn't need that. And that's what made Tom so special. And that's why he is the greatest, you know, player of all time to play as well. Did you sign a one day contract with the Patriots? Yes, I did. Yes I did. I signed it on Wednesday at 12:15. So I wasn't eligible to play in the game Thursday night because fired 12:15 on Thursday afternoon. That's why RKK wanted me to do a two day contract. But I said hey, you're going to have to give me a signing bonus. So he didn't like that idea. So he only. Could you play at all. I feel like if I lined up, you know, if it's you know, second and goal on the five yard line, I could definitely give a fade route full speed and probably complete it. You know, probably go up and make the play. I would just say the stamina wouldn't be there, you know, the athleticism and put the mind in the place where it needs to be for that 15 seconds. Yes, I can do that for a short stand of time, but that's all. How competitive are you with your place in history among tight ends? I as of now, you know, not at all because it's all over, you know, It's. It's over with. I can't really, you know, change the outcome anymore. It's all set where it is now. But when I was playing, there's no doubt I want to be one of the greatest to play the game, you know, and that probably came, you know, in year two, year three, year four, when I was like, all right, I can make my place in history. At the beginning of my career, it wasn't even a thought. I just wanted to be on an NFL roster. I just wanted to be able to contribute to the team and put myself as, you know, in the category of greatest. You know, that wouldn't possibly come to my mind until at least halfway through my career. And then I was like, man, you know, if I keep being, you know, great on the football field, I can possibly be in that category. You know, I wouldn't really talk about it much because, you know, you just got to focus on what you got to focus on and win games and be the best, you know, teammate that you can be. And then everything else would take care of itself. But you look at Kelsey Gates, I don't know who else you would put in there, but Gonzalez, I guess he put up his numbers, too, which are crazy and pretty, pretty good grouping to be in. But do you. If somebody says, oh, Kelsey's better than you, would you argue back that you're better than Kelsey? Well, in. In many ways, Travis Kelsey is better than myself, and in many ways, I would say I'm better than Travis Kelce. There's so many variables and tangibles that go into it because we're kind of different players, but we play the same position still. I mean, Shannon Sharp said it best. I mean, I'm not sure exactly how he put it, but he said, like, I'm mistaken, like he's sushi. I mean, it's just what you want that night for dinner. And they're both great, but they're both totally different and they both taste different and they're both different on your palate. So it's all about what type of offense you're in, how you're getting used. And we're different players. Like, if we play together, that would be the ultimate combo. But if I'm in a package where it's an old school offense, you know, it's about running the ball, it's about just play action. You know, it's about, you know, being in the trenches and beating down the other team, then I would take myself. But this day and era, with the offense that Travis Kelce Is in. I feel like he fits way better in his offense that, you know, that he's in. And I don't think I would be able to contribute like the way that he does. So it's all different tangibles and variables, like I said, that go into it. And I love what Travis Kelce is doing. And what's remarkable as well is, you know, to be in that category of the greatest, you gotta have longevity, too. And that's why Tony Gonzalez is in it. I mean, the guy played till 37 years old. I'm 36. I couldn't imagine me playing right now still 37 years old. I really wish I could, big time. Travis Kelsey's 36, he's still playing right now. So it's impressive what they're doing. But also, I would say I was a little bit more crazier and reckless through my 20s. Yeah, I paid the price a little bit, Dan, that's for sure. Couldn't you have played differently, though, Gronk? No, I could have not played differently. That's just the style that was in me. That's just how I was born to play. I wouldn't change anything. Hey, hey, Grok, if you play a little less savagey, you know, you're gonna have two more years left in your career. I would be like, you know, I'll just stick to the 11 years that I played. I don't need 13, because I'm all about just going full out. And that's just. That's just how I rolled my whole life. And that's kind of who made. That's kind of what made me, Dan, big time. You know, I go back to when you were first in the league, first couple of years, and they're like, oh, they better worry about Gronk. He's doing keg stands. Like, if that's the worst thing that you were doing, I'm like, you weren't a troublemaker. You played hard, you played hurt. But I remember somebody was critical of you, of, man, he's getting crazy. He's doing keg stands. Yeah, I remember those days. And now we look at it, it was so harmless. Everyone's, like, laughing about it. Like, with so much other things going on in this world and what else is going on in communities? Like, people were worried that I was a troublemaker because I was doing keg stands. Are you retired from keg stands? Yeah, I am. It's been a long, long time, that's for sure. But I was doing all that craziness, which kind of like, I Said made that made me the player that I was because I was doing everything full speed. I was doing everything full speed and off the field. That was my mindset. And then I, like I said I wouldn't have changed it because, yeah, 11 years it got me to play, but if I could be full speed and I would have lasted 13 years, I wouldn't have done that because it doesn't make me who I am then. Better beer drinker, you or Brady? Tom actually, is. Tom can pound beers faster than anyone that I've ever seen. And beer drinking is really tough. I do. I drink two beers now and I'm like, I'm super full and bloated and I'm pretty tipsy now, and that's all I need. I do social drinking now. I don't. I don't go hard like I used to. I social drinker now. One or two get me feeling good. You know, it gets me to strike up a conversation and enjoy it. All right, you're back with Friday night 5G lights and what you're doing with high school. Tell everybody about that. Yeah. So this is the second year doing the T Mobile Friday night 5G lights campaign. The first year was a big success, but this year we went bigger and better. We gave out $5,000 to 450 schools, $25,000, the 25 schools this year. And now I am literally sitting right now in the gymnasium, you know, green room here at Derricks in Derrick's, Arkansas, at Derrick's high school, because they are the grand prize winner of this campaign. And they get a million dollars, you know, to renovate their high school football field. And on top of it, they get a renovation of their weight room by Gronk Fitness, my family's company. So it's going to be all brand new Gronk Fitness, you know, equipment that they can work out with tickets to the SEC championship game and a tailgate party. So I'm going to surprise them in about 30 minutes. They don't know that you're going to give them this million dollars. They already know that they're getting the million dollars. They already know that they're the grand prize winner, but they don't know I'm here right now. We're about to have a rally in the gym and I'm going to surprise the whole entire town. That's great. Yeah, that's great. For more information, visit Friday night 5G lights dot com. Great to talk to you, Gronk. Have fun. Hey, always a pleasure, Dan. Thanks for having me on Rob Gronkowski, four time super bowl champ and contributor to Fox NFL Sunday. You know, he's right about the position that we interpret it differently, or, you know, offenses and coaches and quarterbacks. He was saying he can't. He wouldn't be able to do what Kelsey does. But what Gronk was able to do is Tom always had that bailout, and it felt like, just stay healthy enough to get us in the playoffs, or once you're in the playoffs, and then I'm going to go to you in the red zone. Kelsey. It's more of he's involved in the offense or has been or had been more involved in the offense on a, you know, every down basis. Where Gronk was just like, you needed a big play, you got a big play there. But he is so. Tony Gonzalez played till he's 37. Gronk is 36. But it's how Gron played. And as he said, I couldn't have played any other way. All right, Seaton's gonna call in in a little bit. Steph Curry is a free agent. Not with the warriors, with Under Armour. And, boy, he started out as a Nike guy, and then all of a sudden, something went bad in a meeting. And by the way, in that meeting, working for Nike was Nico Harrison. So Nico Harrison, who just got fired by the Mavs, was in the meeting where somehow Nike screwed up their presentation to Steph Curry. Now, I think that they've attached Nico Harrison conveniently to. He forgot Steph's name. He called him Stephen instead of Stefan. And. And we have. We had Steph Curry on. And Steph Curry talked about that. That, yes, it did turn him off. There was also, like, a slide presentation where somehow they put Kevin Durant in the slide presentation. Coming up. Top of the hour. We're gonna dig a little deeper into this situation with Steph Curry. And now he's a free agent. I don't know what his shoes. Look. I saw the. The first pair that look like nurse shoes. I don't know what they are. They just all white. Yeah. Paulie. The Steph Curry collection came out a bunch of years ago with Under Armour. And one of the first ones was kind of plain white, and it didn't hit. It almost had, like, a hospital shoe, nursing shoe look to it. Yeah. It was like, you know, if you have problems with your feet. Yeah. Like orthotics. Orthotics. And it feels like they never really caught on because some shoes catch on, some shoes don't. And it's not necessarily the Person. It's the shoe. Yeah. Yeah, but it. Like, there was nothing that was like, he's so splashy. And there was nothing splashy about it. Like, I would have had maybe a splash. As you know, your jumper is wet. Like, you. You kind of had something that gave you life there. I don't even know what shoes, you know, are the popular shoes now. Giannis, his shoes. John Morant shoes. Sabrina Ionescu. Yeah. Dylan. I mean, if I'm meeting with Nike, they can call me Barbara for all I care. I'm not going to Under Armour instead of Nike. Okay, but. But he. Fair point. He was Steph Curry. It wasn't like he just came out of Davidson. He was in the NBA and he was a Nike guy. That feels like you can't go wrong here. But his name is spelled Stephen. But Nico Harrison has known. Nico Harrison represented Steph Curry's dad. He represented Del Curry. But I don't think Nico Harrison is the one who called him Stephen. Somebody else was in the room and they may have said, you know. And joining us now is Stephen Curry. And Steph said it bothered him. And if you put a slide of Kevin Durant into your presentation, like, that's not. That's. That's not me. Yeah. Paulie. It's such an urban legend story, this Nike, Steph Curry meeting. I heard they called him Stefan. Oh. And I don't even know if that's true. No, it's Stefan. Right. I think that's what I'm saying. I heard they called him Stefan Curry. Wasn't that the character from Saturday Night? Bill Hader. Yes. Marvin and Underarm Under Armour also offered him almost twice as much as Nike did, so that helped also. Yeah, but could you imagine if he had stayed with Nike for his brand? Oh, my gosh. Hey, it's never too late. Yeah. Maybe you get him like the. You know, the swan song, the final three. Three years, maybe, or two years. Imagine that. Sorry. Can you imagine that campaign? Nike is the best at shoe campaigns, bar none. Like, so John Morant and Steph Curry aren't equal on the same player historically or anything like that. But I'm taking job. I want to buy John Moran shoes now because they just look better than the Steph Curry's. Steph Curry shoes don't look good. Yeah, but do you buy shoes because you like the player, but you don't like the shoes? The people that buy Steph Curry's like Steph Curry, but they may not like the shoes. Correct. They're supporting him because they like Steph Curry. Those are the people that wear Steph Curry signature shoes. You're not buying them because they look cool. You're buying them because you love Steph Curry and you want to support him. Yeah, Dylan. Well, I was. I was never really a fan of most of LeBron's shoes as far as, like, Nike shoes go, but they've definitely sold a lot of them because they're LeBron's. There's some hits in there, but by and large, I don't even know what they look like. They're very clunky. Yeah. I haven't been to Foot Locker in a long time, and if I do, I'm going in to buy comfortable shoes. You're getting hokas. Yeah. Can I have the Hoka, please? That makes me six. Six. Yes. Todd, what if Steph went over to Nike and they had the word swoosh on apparel, but the S is a three? Like three wosh. That could be. Or three for the S and the second S. Three wosh. Oh, three. Did you give this a lot of thought? I did, actually. I think Todd was in the original Nike meeting. The word. The word swoosh, and then the S's are threes. I think that's. They'll probably end up doing that, and then I'll have the last laugh. So here's what we're going to do, Stefan. We're going to add three, and your ethics are going to be three. Three. W, O, O, three H. Let's go. I'm gonna have to write that down. See how it looks, Todd, because I. I'm not visualizing this. Nike is a swoosh. And then you put the word swoosh, but the S's are the number three because he's known for his three pointers. Okay. All right. It kind of looks like boob. H. I just wrote it out. Show me your boobs. H. How about we take a break here? We're going to slide into the weekend. Seaton's going to join us from the road. More of your phone calls. And we have Jameis Winston prop bets for this weekend against the Green Bay Packers. Boy, if you're the Packers, Jameis Winston is the last guy you want to see on that roster. Like, you would rather see Russ and Jackson dart because it just feels like James. Who knows? Could be one of those where he's got four touchdown passes and three interceptions. All right, we'll take a break. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of our shows@foxsportsradio.com and within the iHeartRadio app, search FSR to listen live.

We're gonna have mavericks on the show. We're plenty of robber barons. So many robber barons. And you know what? They're not all bad.

I want to tell you about my new podcast called Not My Best Moment, where I talk to artists, athletes, entertainers, creators, friends, people I admire who had massive success about their massive failures. What did they mess up on? What is their heartbreak, and what did they learn from it? I got judged horribly. The judges were like, you're trash. I don't know how you got on the show. Boo. Somebody had tomatoes. I'm kidding. But they. If they had tomatoes, they would have thrown the tomatoes. Let's be honest. We've all had those moments we'd rather forget. We bumped our head, we made a mistake, the deal fell through. We're embarrassed. We failed. But this podcast is about. About that and how we made it through. So when they sat me down, they were kind of, like, got into the small talk, and they were just like, so, what do you got? What ideas? And I was like, oh, no. What? Check out not my best moment with me, Kev on Stage on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Has anybody located him? There he is. Seaton o' Connor on the. Whoa. Looks like he's got friends there. Dude, we got friends in Denver. Yay. Well, tell them it's okay. They can make some noise there. Is there a music festival there? Are they actually out to see you? No, I think they actually came to see me, people. Dude, there's like, five dogs here. It's awesome. Yeah, people brought donuts. We got Santiago's brought, like, a whole thing of breakfast burritos. I got another thing. For breakfast. Yeah, dude, it's awesome, man. It's a great crowd. So where are you exactly? I'm in North Glen, which is, I think, about 10, 15 miles north of Denver. And, yeah, it's a gorgeous day here. Mountains are, like, right over there. Rockies. Pretty impressive. You have it. Looks like your avalanche colors on your sweatshirt. Is. Is that Colorado Avalanche purple? It is. It is. Yeah. I'm kind of an ABS guy now. Got to admit, I've been to a game now, so I'm not saying I bought a sweater, but maybe. Wait, you went to the game last night? I did, yeah. Dude. Dude, I went to the game last night. There was, like, a dozen goals in it, and they scored AB. Scored within the first, like, 40 seconds or something. It was awesome. It was awesome. Okay, so you leave Denver, and then next stop is. I'm gonna sort of wind my way through the Rockies a little bit and end up in Vegas to meet up with you guys. I'll be at the Vegas, one of the Makos in Vegas, Monday morning at 8am okay. But no snow. No, no snow. Although I heard Vail opens today, so maybe I get a couple of runs in before I head over to. I don't know. Why not? You know, we're here. I haven't gone skiing in, like, 20 years, but okay. Oh, I gotta show this for Paulie. Oh, look at that. That's a forerunner. Yeah. Oh, that's old school. Yeah, The. The Mako here just painted this one, and it's. It's beautiful. It's got one of those, like, snorkels that you could go into. Really deep water. Yeah, deep. Sort of like an adventure mobile. Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty rad, though. Well, safe travels, and then we'll talk to you on Monday from Vegas. All right, let's go. Denver. Seaton o' Connor joining us on the road. He's big in Denver. Huge. Yeah, yeah, he told me. Went to the ABs game last night. He said the Usher, big fan of the show, knew all about it, so he said a lot of goals, so now he's a big ABS fan. All right, let's slide into the weekend. You got number nine, Notre Dame, number 22, Pittsburgh. This is my most. Most win game of the weekend. It's a sellout in Pittsburgh, but let's be honest. Notre Dame probably providing at least half of that sellout, I'm guessing. And you start to think about pit football. And Marvin brought this up. To me, he said, think of all the hall of Famers at pit. And I go, okay, you got Tony Dorset, you got Dan Marino, you got Darrell Revis, Aaron Donald. Anybody else that I'm leaving out? Larry Fitzgerald. Oh, yeah, Dang. Okay. That's a pretty good representation when you think about it. Who was the. Hugh Green. Yeah, was. Was on the one end. The. Ricky Jackson, I think. Is he pit? Was he pit? Ricky Jackson? Was Ricky Jack, because. And he played for the Saints. Yes. He's a very good player. I gotta check. I think he had like a hundred. Is Ricky Jackson a Hall of Famer? I think so. We're checking so that I. If Hugh Green and Ricky Jackson, I think were the. The defensive ends. Yeah. PIT players drafted high. You got Dorset, Bill Fralich, great offensive lineman. Yeah. Larry Fitzgerald, Chris Dolman, Mike Ditka, Jimbo Covert, Hugh Green. They. They probably had 10 hall of Famers. Yeah. Aaron Donald. He's going to the hall of Fame, like you said. Yeah, Marvin. Ricky Jackson did go to Pitt and he is in the Pro Football hall of Fame. So they probably got 10, maybe 10. Yes. Todd. In 1977-80 with the Panthers. Yeah. Dang. All right. And Hugh Green was the one who was supposed to be the great defensive end. Ricky Jackson becomes a Hall of Famer. Dorset. When he was. Dorset Marino. Yeah, that's a pretty good list. And then the. Oh, by the way, Larry Fitzgerald, Jerrell Rivas. Yes, Marvin. So right now, the schools with the most hall of Famers. Notre dame is number one, tied with USC. Then it's Michigan at 11, 10 Ohio State and 10 Pittsburgh. But they're going to move up to third because Aaron Donald and Larry Fitzgerald will get in. So they will have the third most. Okay, so I was including them, but they're not in the hall of Fame. Correct. Okay. But they will be. So they have. They'll have the third most players in the hall of Fame from one school. You could. You could win a. You could win some money with a bet like that. So Notre Dame and Pitt, Oklahoma and Alabama. This is an elimination game for Oklahoma. You have to win Alabama, Texas and Georgia. Lions, Eagles, Seahawks, Rams. That's pretty good stuff there, right? Seahawks, Rams, both at seven and two. So that's sliding into the weekend, brought to you by the great folks at Kings Hawaiian. Make every Sunday a slider Sunday and you can learn more recipes@kings hawaiian.com. all right, Jameis Winston prop bets. Dylan. Dylan. Yeah. Didn't see that one on the. No, Dylan. Dylan kept saying, you know, hey, I, I think this is, this is pretty interesting. I go, well, I, you know, I love me some Jameis Winston. So these are prop bets for the game against the Packers. Yeah. All right. Now, I thought the over under for touchdown passes should have been one and a half and it is the over under for interceptions for Jameis Winston. I thought a half and it is. You could argue that should be one and a half. Also, anytime touchdown plus 550 as James get a little squirrely and run one in, I, maybe, maybe they'll call some Jackson dart plays. Passing yards over under is 223 and a half. You're going over, aren't you, Dylan? If it was 300 and a half, I'm taking the over on that. Wow. How about the first pass? Do they have a prop on the first pass will be. Yep. Yeah. So they got first pass attempt completions minus 210 incompletions plus 150. I actually looked to see if the first pass interception was an option. They didn't have it. But wow. I see him getting maybe coming out a little excited and just firing one to the packers db. Does Russell Wilson play Sunday against the Packers? Is there a scenario other than injury where he could get into the game? If Jameis throws four picks in the first half, do they bring Russell Wilson or just let it ride at that point, I would just let him in, leave him in and see if he could put up historical numbers. Yeah. You know, have some fun with it. Yeah. Well, I did, I did actually place one of these, Dan. I parlayed the overpassing touchdowns and over interceptions. Okay, so that gets you about plus like 3:15, I think. Okay. If you guys want free money, you're, you're. You don't have history on your side. Quite to the contrary. Yes. Yes. You're not very good. You're entertaining. You're just not a very good gambler. I'm just an honest man, Dan. Two hours to the books. One more to go. We're going to talk about Steph Curry's sneaker career because now he's a free agent. His contract with Under Armour is ending. More phone calls coming up on this meet Friday after this.
