Gary Danielson (7:18)

Going to go all.

Dan Patrick (7:18)

You're obsessed with being sarcastic with the cup. I just find it very contrived and I can't believe those who are into it. Great. But it just seems like a very. How do we get people interested in the NBA and it's not even Christmas time. Let's do this kind of thing with a playoff and a cup and give out a trophy. It just. And people buy into that just because we're starved for entertainment. I don't know what it is. I'm just fascinated by it. And we'll call it the NBA cup. And you'll get this thing, which has nothing to do with winning the NBA championship on any level. It's a mid season thing. And would you even buy a hat or a shirt or a flag or anything? If your Bucks or your Thunderwit to win this tomorrow night is my question. Like, it's a fair question. Walk around with NBA cup champions. You'd really wear that T shirt. Yeah. Seaton. Okay. How about who had the best weekend? We haven't done that. Okay. We could do that one. Okay. Well, it's tough to say that anybody other than Deion Sanders. He had a great weekend. I think Josh Allen had a great weekend. He did. He had his Heisman moment. National tv, not a standalone game. You had the Eagles and Steelers at the same time. But still, he was spectacular. Yeah. Dion. Dion might have a better day. NFL draft night when Travis Hunter and Shador Sanders go one, two. That's pretty good. Yeah. Yes. Paul. Anybody else? I'll throw out Marcus Freeman of Notre Dame. He parlayed a air quote rumor about the Bears job into a big extension at Notre Dame without actually winning anything yet. No offense. They have not even won one playoff game. He got a big extension. And that game is Friday against Indiana. Right. Don't sleep on the schedule here. I don't know what the weather is going to be like. Oh, yes, Paulie. Yeah. 29 and snow at kickoff predicted. Okay. That's South Bend weather. Well, that's not going to. That. That won't affect Indiana. I mean, Indiana gets same weather. South Bend. I'm guessing they'll be acclimated to that. Something like SMU is going to. That they're going to Penn State. I did see a report that they called a snow corridor in South Bend that gets a lot of snow. Oh, I don't know if that's true. That's. I like saying the phrase snow corridor. Okay. What's like, what are those bombs, those under snow, those cyclone bombs or what are they called? That's like something that comes from the ice cream truck. It's delicious. No, it's a bomb cyclone. Isn't that what it is? Yeah. Is that. Yeah. Okay. Bomb cyclone. Oh, yeah. I had a cyclone bomb cyclone. Bomb bomb. Yeah. Yes. Todd, you know, it is going to affect Indiana. Notre Dame being better than them is going to affect it. You want to bet on it? Ooh, you really think Indiana's gonna. No, I'm just saying you're really cocky and sarcastic and you know about the weather. Broncos ended up winning and it's now we not they weather won't affect Indiana because Indiana gets cold, but Notre Dame being better will affect Indiana. I think that needs to be pointed out. What's the spread? Seven and a half. Yep. Okay. Seven and a half. Notre Dame better win. Yeah, I was gonna say that's a must win game. That is a. That's most must win game of the weekend. Without question. Yes. You got to win that game. Most must win. You got it. You get a contract extension. You're facing team in state, you gotta win. Most must win game of the weekend. If I'm a Notre Dame fan, I hate this game. Patrick Mahomes got banged up in the fourth quarter. He talked about his injury. Yeah, I mean, it's hard to say right now. I mean, obviously still adrenaline rolling and usually it's kind of the day after when you kind of get a good, good sense of it. But I feel like I could have finished the game in different circumstances, but I thought the smart decision I think we talked about was to put Carson in and he's played a lot of football and he. And he finished the game well. Let me see if I could get some more comments from Patrick Mahomes on the ankle. Patrick, they kind of went high. Low on me. Was. I'll be fine.

Gary Danielson (11:19)

I'll be.

Dan Patrick (11:19)

You know, I've been in worse situations. Not a big deal. We'll just. Fine. I'm on a plane. Excellent. If coach Reid will let me. Derek and Desmone. Hey, Derek. Hey, Dan. Thanks for taking my call. I got a best of the weekend for you. All right. Travis Hunter's smile just made my day and reminded me that the holidays are nearly upon us. And I'm wondering, Europe. I need the opinion of some calendar models and a famous actor. Can. Can someone learn how to smile? Because I'm going to be in family photos and I can't smile in photos that save my life. Okay. Models know how to relax their face. So when they smile, you see their teeth and their eyes are open whenever they take photos, they want to make sure your eyes are open when you smile. Unlike me, I get the squinty eyes when I'm smiling. So I'm the wrong person to ask when it comes to smiling. Seon, you take good photographs. No, I'm the worst smiler ever. Really? Oh, the worst. If you. If you asked me, like, hey, smile right now and you have to show your teeth. Yeah. Nothing is more forced or looks more uncomfortable. How about you, Marvin? No. Every single picture I post on Instagram or any social media, I always caption it. I promise I'm happy here. Well, we put out a Christmas card, and then we tried to get everybody in the picture, all the kids and, you know, granddaughter and I screw up every one of them. There were eight pictures, nine pictures taken. There's one where I'm pointing at the. Like, I. And my wife said, how do you. How do you do that? I said, I. It's. It's a real. You know, it's a. It's a great quality that I have. Ruining pictures. Every picture is bad. My eyes are shot looking the wrong way. So if you get the Christmas card, then you'll see, like, did a horrible job. Horrible by now. Yeah. Yes. Mark, you have a picture around here, and I think you use it as a credential. You have your arms folded and you're to the side. Yeah. And it's very. Do you know who my dad is? I love that one very much. That's Zoolander. Blue Steel. Yes. That's. That's in with the big German and Dylan in the. In the room where big German works directing the show. That's a. That goes back to Sports Illustrated. When I took that one, that was a good year for me. Like, my hair looked good. Like, I. I really like that year. I don't know what year it was, but that one was Blue Steel. Yes. There's this one picture from back in the day that our old bosses used to use on everything. They used to put it all over the place. Anytime they sent something out, they would use this one picture, and it might be collectively of the five of us when it. When Andrew was here. The worst picture of the five of us, where it's like, why is this the one that you keep using? And they hired a professional to take those photos. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was the guy. He were, like, standing there, and after, like, maybe 15 seconds of him taking pictures of me, he goes, so do you do any other poses or is this it? I don't know, man. Sorry, dude. I'm not a model. I don't know what the hell I'm doing. So do you do any other poses or is this it? Yes. Sometimes when my family is together, let's say Christmas or the holidays, I try to get candids where they're not looking like they're just opening a present or making dinner together. And as soon as I take the camera out and someone sees me, they turn and do the hard Pose. I'm like, no, no, no, just relax. And then when you tell someone to relax, they don't relax whatsoever. Yeah, I'm not good at taking pictures or somebody photographing me. No, not good at all. I look back on some of these, like they'll, you know, your Wikipedia or something. They'll bring up these pictures, go, damn, that's bad. That's a bad year. That's not good. But hey, that's why we have a face for radio. Yes, Mark, did your hair look good? There was like a three year window. No bad moss, you know, it was a bad shade of Auburn, I think. Wasn't that a Tom Petty song?

Gary Danielson (15:53)

Bad shade of Auburn.

Dan Patrick (15:55)

Bad shame. Gotta fix you. No, we got it. I got it. Yeah, yeah. It was just. And these TVs are so good. Now I get if standard definition was your friend. When you were, when you were doing TV with standard definition, it was like, all right, now you can see everything. You can notice everything. Not good. Jesse in la. Hi, Jess. What's on your mind today? Idp, thanks for a call. Got the two best and one worst. The best. Finally took your advice over the years. Took my retired naval dad over 60 years to an Army Navy game this weekend. And let me tell you that that is, that is something special. If you don't leave that stadium. More patriotic when you entered, something is. Something is wrong with you. That was awesome. So it really made his weekend. And also I got a best for Travis Hunter. As much as I don't like Dion and what he stands for and how he's done it, this guy, you said it earlier, this guy's a complete unicorn and he's going to be really good at the next level. And my worst also, Travis Hunter. Dude, three words for you. Dump your girlfriend. I thought you were going to say acknowledge the other Heisman candidates in the crowd. That's where I would have gone. You got it. You got to just say something about them. That was it. He had a near perfect speech. But those guys are right in front of you. You spent two days with them and just acknowledge them. And he didn't do it. When we come back, Gary Danielson on loan from cbs. He was on the call for Army Navy.

Gary Danielson, CBS Sports lead college football analyst he was on the call with Brad Nestler, Army Navy I wanted to have you on. Biggest reason I wanted to tell you did a great job. Wow. It was a great, great call with you and Brad. You captured it and I wanted to tell you that.

Gary Danielson (22:59)

Well, it's really nice. We we got a text. Not we. Brad knows these guys better than I do. We got a text from Coach Kashewski during during the game saying how much he enjoyed and that we were capturing it. So you two great minds think alike on this one.

Dan Patrick (23:17)

You know, he probably didn't like the ending though, since he went to West Point.

Gary Danielson (23:22)

Hey, you know, there's a lot of pressure doing that game. I've done every major, you know, rivalry game. There is Texas, Oklahoma, Auburn, Alabama, ucla, national championship. You just want to do it right. You Know, you know what I mean? I mean, I feel such great vibes about those players. They have to be full time students, full time, you know, cadets. And then they got to play football on top of that. And the first time I did it, I was really nervous. I was doing it with Vern, and I told Vern, man, Vern, I don't. I don't know, you know, just. I don't. Not familiar with this. And we interviewed a player the first time I was there, Dan. We went and visited, and the first player we interviewed said, ah, guys, I love you. I grew up watching SEC football. We always watch sec. Here's the only thing we asked. Don't grade us on a curve. I went, man, how cool is that? You know, I mean, the guys saying that, because those guys love playing football.

Dan Patrick (24:34)

But trying to call a perfect game, it's like trying to play a perfect game.

Gary Danielson (24:39)

You can't, right? Oh, I messed up. There's no doubt. Yeah. I think when Heidenright scored, I think I called him Eric Heidenwright, because Eric Hyde. I just went with the. I just flew it together. I think Brad got it right. I don't think I did, but, yeah, I get nervous. I don't get nervous for anything. I never got nervous when I played. I don't get nervous for other games. Don't get nervous talking to important people, you know, But I want to give the game its due. That. That's really what I. What I try to do.

Dan Patrick (25:15)

And it's the one game. I think it's a standalone game where the pictures are more important than anything that's said because you're trying to capture what you don't need to capture because we get to see it with you.

Gary Danielson (25:29)

God, I had a big sign on my board, you know, my monitor, don't talk too much because of the. What you just said. You know, our producer, Craig Silver, has done it forever. You know, I think we've done now 16 of these together. Steve Milton, our director, also directs, you know, the Masters golf, and our crews out there with the march on the whole thing, I mean, all of them love doing this game, but it's a big commitment. You know, you got president coming in. I interviewed President Obama, and I have in the past interviewed President Elect Trump, and then he was in the booth next to us. So you can feel it. I mean, you, you can feel it. And it looks like. And I don't know, Dan, you can help on this. They might be losing the standalone part of this game.

Dan Patrick (26:24)

Absolutely.

Gary Danielson (26:25)

Yeah, I know. And that's boy, I was wanting to knock on the bulletproof glass next to Trump and say, hey, why don't you just pass a law? It seems like you can do this, that there can be no other game in the afternoon but this game.

Dan Patrick (26:40)

Army, Navy, that's a good idea. But you're right, because of the extended playoffs, I think that they're going to encroach on army and Navy. This might be the last weekend, the last year that it's a standalone game. Let me ask you about the other news on Saturday. Travis Hunter winning the Heisman. But if you're a GM or a coach, how are you using him in the NFL?

Gary Danielson (27:05)

I would use him the way they use Dion back the way when he played. You know, I would, I would use him. Things that he does well. He seems to handle 50, 50 balls really well. He plays defense well. I don't see why he can't in modern football play 15 important snaps in the game at corner or covering the slot and or more. Excuse me, I wanted to flip it, you know, play regular defense. I'd use them at corner and then play maybe 10, 12 plays on offense when you need him in the red zone. He seems to be up for it and I don't see why. First of all, more players can't do that if you use them smartly. And I think, you know, his coach was the best at it back in the day.

Dan Patrick (27:51)

With the playoffs going on and the transfer portal coinciding with this, how did the grown ups not see that this could be a problem?

Gary Danielson (28:02)

Well, you saw, I heard you talking to Ross Tucker, you know, with bro Prabula. I don't quite understand the whole mechanics of why Bo has to leave the team, why he can't enter the portal, tell the coach or team that wants them. You know, we don't know who it is. It might be IU for all we know where he's going to go, right. It might be an important team down the line. I don't know why he can't stay on the team and say, coach, I would never quit on you. But I'm not saying he's quitting. I understand he's in it, but I don't know why he can't finish it out as the backup quarterback. I mean, I don't see why he can't finish this game. There's been plenty of pro players who finished out their season knowing that they were going to be free agents the next year. I don't see what the big deal is. Is it the Fact that he has to sign an NIL now, I would look right at the coach and go, why would you want me if I'm willing to leave the team I am on now, a team that can win the championship? You shouldn't want me if I want to do that. So I don't quite get it. I think the SMU quarterback has decided he's going to be in the portal, and he's playing it. Ohio State has seven guys in the portal that are playing in the game. I don't know why Bo has to leave. And he's a good player, by the way, a very good player, but I don't know why he has to leave now. I'm sure if his parents were here, they could explain it, but I don't understand it.

Dan Patrick (29:37)

You bring up a great point. If I'm transferring to your school and you want me to give up on my team, who's in the playoffs and could win a couple of games, is that the kind of guy that you want on your team? But I was told, though, Gary, these coaches are saying, we don't want you to risk getting hurt.

Gary Danielson (29:56)

Yeah, too bad. Too bad. You know, I get hurt. I get hurt. I mean, I could get hurt in spring ball with you. I don't get it. That's. I hope that that's the advice I'd be giving my son. But again, there's always more things. Remember early in the year, we were talking about the UNLV quarterback, you know, quit on it, you know, and that was more complicated than the story that we were led to believe. You know, I mean, his head coach at Holy Cross came up and said he turned down a half a million to go to unlv. And then, you know, so there. There's more pages all the time than we know, but I don't know. I. I love college football.

Dan Patrick (30:38)

I.

Gary Danielson (30:38)

It's funny. I got my Purdue jersey in the back. You know, I don't. My team didn't do so good this year, but I. I wasn't great in college. I. It. I never really caught it, you know, I. I wasn't as disciplined as I was when I got in the NFL. I wasn't as disciplined when I had a family and I knew kids around the way. I was much more dedicated, you know, to it. But I hope he doesn't regret this, because I've regretted the way I played. You know, I let a lot of my. Still feel like I let a lot of my teammates down at Purdue, and I regretted that my whole life.

Dan Patrick (31:17)

Give me the surprise this opening weekend of the college football playoffs.

Gary Danielson (31:22)

I think IU has a shot against Notre Dame. I know they're good, but you know, I've seen IU up close. We saw Notre Dame against usc. This is not a great USC football team and that was not a great home field advantage. They played him pretty good, you know, an interception at the last and I like that. I think SMU has a little bit of speed that might give Penn State some problems. What I don't like about it is I thought Boise State, I mean, the charm of the basketball tournament is the little guys play in the first round. This whole buy thing of SMU and Boise State, wouldn't you have loved to see Boise State make it? And their reward is they get a home game against Alabama on the blue turf in 15 degree weather. Isn't that the way this thing should have been? I listen, I know the people that put this stuff together, they're great character people. But when it was put together, the PAC12 was still alive and this thing kind of got out of whack here. They'll fix it, you know, in arrears, but it, but it, it'll get better. It's way better than it was before. But I got a question for you. You're always good at throwing these at me. If you're an IU fan, would you rather have a win over Notre Dame or IU basketball makes the finals in the NCAA tournament this year?

Dan Patrick (32:51)

Well, knowing the state of Indiana, I would say making it to the NCAA title game in basketball, I was kidding.

Gary Danielson (32:59)

The IU fans when I did a radio show that until this year, the IU football fans were not even aware that there was an ESPN ranking show all year during the season season until this year. And then they said, oh my God, they do this every week. We didn't know that so.

Dan Patrick (33:15)

Well, you can dine out on beating Notre Dame for a long, long time, that's for sure.

Gary Danielson (33:20)

And they've got a good team. They're a really good team. They didn't, you know, that was. The big lights against Ohio State was a little bit different for them. But you know, I think they're going to play well in this football game.

Dan Patrick (33:31)

What if Ohio State loses?

Gary Danielson (33:34)

Yeah, you know, I really, I really think early in that game, when they got their quarterback nicked early in that game, I wonder if that affected their play calling because it just didn't make any sense to me running right into the teeth of the Michigan football team like that. And I don't know if Howard and he got tackled early. I just wondered if that threw off the way they played. I think they're going to be ready. I don't know if you heard us late in the game. One of the things that Brad and I had talked about was at the end of the year, the flag plant planning. But I kind of take that flag planning two ways, you know, one, it's the coach's job to say, this ain't happening if we win, all right, we're going to win with class. But if I was on the other side, if I was out of state or. And all right, you beat us fair and square, but that doesn't mean you get to do that to our football field. That's a whole new game. You get the W and you get the bragging rights, but you don't plant your flag in the middle of the field. And that's why we ended up our game talking about one thing we know about. Army, Navy, they're not worried about at the end of the game, planning flags of their school because they respect the other side too much. The only flag they're going to plant is the flag of the United States of America. And I think that's what that game is all about.

Dan Patrick (35:04)

Best college player you ever saw.

Gary Danielson (35:08)

The most dominating player I saw early was Calvin Johnson. I saw him as first game as a true freshman. And I went, how does anybody ever stop this guy? I. I was like, it's impossible.

Dan Patrick (35:24)

And they're not even a passing offense at Georgia Tech.

Gary Danielson (35:26)

Exactly. At Georgia Tech. And he. I think he made a diving catch early. Although I will have to say Larry Fitzgerald was right there as a freshman, too. But I just thought he was an amazing body type. And then I think his second catch, he was running full speed and he reached back with one hand and caught it. And I couldn't believe that as well. But I think those. You know, I heard you talking about the SEC not involved here. I think they might want to bring me back, Stan. I got there in 2006. So the year before I got there in 05, they didn't have anybody. And I leave this year, they don't have anybody. And the nine of the 18 years I was there, they had the Heisman Trophy winner. So they had a pretty good run with championships and Heisman guys. So I leave one year and all falls apart, you know, so there was a run of him there. But I tell you, one guy who dominated like I've never seen before with the team, he had Cam Newton. Yeah, I couldn't believe how he played in the sec, and I don't think there was only one other player on that team that even played NFL football.

Dan Patrick (36:41)

Randy Moss stood out when I covered him, too, when I watched Marshall. And we hope Randy's on the, on the road to recovery. I just remember he caught a couple of passes over the middle and he was gone. And, you know, you can say, well, he played at Marshall, but he still stood out. He was unique. And I still don't think we've ever had a wide receiver like Randy Moss in the NFL.

Gary Danielson (37:07)

That's pretty true. His top end speed, you couldn't overthrow. They're just. You couldn't do it, you know, So, I mean, I covered a lot of good players. You know, I remember the days when Tom was. Brady was playing at Michigan. He was so upset that, you know, he wasn't the starter. I mean, his competitive instincts and his clutch play at Michigan, especially with the way he was being, you know, rotated in, there was something to see, but, man, did he have the chip on his shoulder and seems like he still has. I just love the way he competes. I mean, I've had a great run here, you know. I mean, the first game I ever did was Ty Detmer beating the Miami number one Miami Hurricanes. I got to play with Bernie Kosar, you know, and that group of guys in Cleveland played with Billy Simms was my running back. And now I got to broadcast with hall of Famers Brent and Vern. And now Nestler. Been pretty good for an undrafted free agent, that's for sure.

Dan Patrick (38:09)

O.J. simpson's the first player I saw who was different when he was at usc. Like, I, you know, I grew up an Ohio State fan, knew they were going to always lose when they went to the Rose bowl. And to see O.J. it was just him and Gail Sayers are the two guys. Jim Brown ran differently, but Gail Sayers and O.J. simpson, that ability to cut and glide, I'd never seen that before. Those were the first two guys that really hit me back in the late 60s, two great ones.

Gary Danielson (38:40)

I. I'll tell you, I was not aware, by the way, that in your Heisman criteria voting is. Taking a hit was one of the things, because I can show you a lot of my taking hits over the years. Lawrence Taylor threw me back five yards on a play. You know, I mean, it was. He was incredible. He might have been. The best player I ever played against was Lawrence Taylor. So I was. We actually had a tip. It's funny, I did a radio show with Kirk Gibson, and he said that they always knew that Dwight Gooden tipped his pitches and they still couldn't hit him. We always knew when Lawrence Taylor was going to rush or drop and we would shift our protection, couldn't block him, you know, so it's those guys are special, that's for sure.

Dan Patrick (39:30)

Again, pass it on to Brad when you talk to him. It was just wonderful. You guys did a great job.

Gary Danielson (39:36)

And it wasn't just us. I mean, we had 75 people that work really hard, veteran people.

Dan Patrick (39:42)

And you can name all of them if you want, run down all 70 of them.

Gary Danielson (39:47)

You know, they all, they all will watch your show. And Dan, thanks for having me on. It's been great.

Dan Patrick (39:52)

Thank you, buddy. That's Gary Danielson, CBS Sports lead college football analyst, played at Purdue, played for the Lions and the Browns. He's been doing a long, long time. It felt like we had him on during Johnny Manziel's career. It was like every Monday it'd be like, get Gary on. He just called Manziel because Manzel to, you know, lead the SEC in rushing as opposed and also do what he did. Pretty remarkable. All right, let me take a break. Last call for phone calls.

Well, the problem is these coaches aren't waiting. They're trying to fill up slots. That's all this is. So if you want to make the commitment, you got to go now. You can't go, hey, I'll transfer unless you're really a high end player. And chances are high end players aren't transferring because they're high end players. So it's almost like a limited time only it's like a Black Friday sale. Hey, do you want to come here? I you got to decide by and then you got to talk to your parents, that's the problem. And then you got to trust them that that's still going to be there after you've played. And as Gary was pointing out, there's a lot of schools that are going to lose players that are in the transfer portal right now. Or at least you can go in the portal. Maybe you're not going to get the offer you want and then you pull your name back out. I think there was concerns that Quinn Ewers would transfer. He wants to play another year. Well, imagine that news to Arch Manning, because if Quinn Ewers comes back to Texas because he's not going to be a first round draft pick and I think wanting to play another year now, do you have to transfer? Would Steve Sarkeesian want to push you towards transferring because he wants to play Arch Manning? Yes. Paulie. Ohio State. He played there a little bit before Quinn. He did. He did. I don't know. They want him back. Well, someone's leaving Texas football. Well, McCord at Syracuse was at Ohio State. I think he led the nation in passing yards at over like 4,000 yards or something. All righty. James in Virginia. Hi, James. Welcome back. Oh, thanks for taking my call, brother. Happy Monday, D.P. darnet. Salute the commanders, man. On that note, sometimes it's better to be lucky than to be good, man. And these final three weeks of NFL season all across the board is just going to be exciting. I don't know how. If there's ever been a year where the number one seed was up for grabs in both conferences this late in the year, I tell you what, I will take Oregon over Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff. And I got a pie to the face bet. If anybody wants it watching the Milwaukee Bucks this weekend. I'm all in on the cup, Todd. I'm taking the Bucks to go to the NBA Finals. They were left for dead early in the year. They are scrapping and calm away. Wait, this is. This is. This is more than the cup. This is. He's got the Bucks going to the NBA Finals. That's wild. I love the enthusiasm. Pie to the face. Marvin, you're inching closer to your microphone. I'm in. Okay. I mean. All right, James. Thank you, James. James paid off with a pie to the face bet a couple of years ago when we found out what James looked like. Yes, Marvin, now this is the Bucks to go to the NBA Finals, right? Okay. Not the Cup. Not the cup final because they're already in the cup finals. All right, you guys love doing this, writing tomorrow's headline today you have two Monday night games. You have Bears, Vikings, Falcons, Raiders. You don't have to do both, you have to do one. Todd, I'll start with you. Well, you know, I like to do two instead of one. Back to the Darius Rucker, hall and Oates concert. So I did one for each for the Bears Vikings game. Oh, Donald. We lost to the Bears. That's my Bears, Vikings one. And my Falcons. Raiders won. Kirk goes limp. Dirty birds whip out their penix. They whipped out their penix. Those dirty birds. That's dirty Seaton Darnold Schwarzenegger terminates Bears. Oh, yeah. Rally. Take that time terminates Bears. I'm all in on that. That's right. Nailed it. Wow. Who is the. The Vikings. No, it's. Who is Van Ginkel on? Is he on the Dolphins or the Vikings? Is that right? A linebacker? He's had a couple of touchdown returns. Andrew. Is that Andrew Van. He's a Viking. He's a Viking. Okay, he was a Dolphin. How about Pappy Van Ginkel? Okay, nailed it. Drink up. Nailed it. Vikings win. Great on Brand. Pappy Van Winkle. Pappy Van Ginkle. Marvin. All right. For the first game for the Vikings, Bears, Mr. Jones and me. Aaron dominates in Monday night matchup. Like Aaron Jones. Wow, that one's rough. You got another one. Brock hard. Yeah, you got Bowers kills the Falcons. Paul. Very sexual ones. Very, very rock hard. Paul, barely a pulse. Chicago no shows versus Vikings. And then this is a Fritziesque one. Kissing your cousins. Falcons Raiders play to a tie. Ty, he's calling for the tie. Hi. He is calling for the tie. Andy in Orlando. Hi, Andy.

Gary Danielson (49:54)

Hey, thanks for taking my call.

Dan Patrick (49:56)

Yeah, second time long time. I just want to get my best.

Gary Danielson (50:00)

And worst of the weekend.

Dan Patrick (50:02)

My best is the UC Bearcats beating Xavier in the Skyline Cross down Shootout and their stick jerseys and breaking a over five over past five. And the my best slash worst is the Bengals winning a very ugly game against the Titans. Well, statistically I don't think you've seen anything like that. Those teams playing that poorly and that many penalties. About this day in sports history, Paul, I'll just give you one. 1973, O.J. simpson broke Jim Brown's single season rushing record in the NFL. Brown had 1863. Simpson passed it and finished with 2003 yards in 14 games. On this date in 2013, Jamis Winston wins the Heisman. Let's go around the room what we learned on the program. Todd, I'm going to start with you. Did you learn anything? I did. It is ridiculous that you have to let the opposing team know beforehand that you're about to try an onside kick. Come on, get rid of that. Yeah, they do. Seaton, what'd you learn? Russ Tucker Not a fan of Bill going to unc. No, he's not. Marvin Fritz. He does not like trivia or the NBA cup or listening to the show half the time. Yes, Paul Todd Completely heard your trivia question. Todd. What did I learn? Gary Danielson says Calvin Johnson was the greatest college player I ever saw. Wondering how anyone could have stopped him. Hottest rookies, biggest superstars, the all time greats. The only place to collect them all. Panini trading cards. Official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show. For instance, classics, autograph cards, memorabilia, cards, rare inserts and more.
