You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. Final hour on a Monday. Best and worst of the weekend. More of your phone calls. Paulie's not here today. Dylan from the back room came out sitting in his seat. Fritzy's here. So Satan, Marv and yours truly. More of your phone calls. 8773 DP Show. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, thank you, our streaming partner and our radio affiliates around the country. A couple of headlines here. Matthew Stafford is seeing a back specialist again, hasn't practiced yet. Micah Parsons making the trade request. And Jerry Jones says don't lose sleep over poll questions. Seaton, what are we going to go with in our three? And then we'll talk to Brent Musburger, the Hall of Famer we got up there right now. Are the Dallas Cowboys a good team to play for? Yes or no are your answers right now? 86 say you want to guess. Yes, that would be no. Oh, they're only getting, they're getting 14 of the vote right now saying that yes, it is a good place to play. Wow. What other. That's a big number. Yes, that's a big. I thought it would be way closer than that. Yeah. Especially like, I don't know, given our audience, I thought there would be a little more respect for the team that way. But do you think that that's just recency bias or do you think that's how far the Cowboys have fallen in terms of reputation? Well, the number of people who hate the Cowboys probably voted as well, and they're not a very good team. I guess if you factor all that in, I still think that address means something and I look at it differently. You're just, you're more famous. I mean, Micah Parsons has a podcast because he's on the Cowboys. You know, it's like Draymond Green. Nobody would care if he played in Atlanta, but he's with Golden State and he has a pod. You know, it just feels like there's certain addresses that mean a little bit more. Yes, Dylan. Well, I also, I mean, based on our caller earlier, too, a lot of those votes against playing there might be from Cowboys fans themselves, too. They don't exactly seem like thrilled on that joint at the moment. Over under is eight and A half wins for the Cowboys this year. Let's bring in the freshly minted hall of Famer, winner of Pro Football hall of Fame, Pete Roselle. Radio, TV award. He's Brent Musburger. Do you feel any different after this weekend? You know, it's. It was such an honor, Dan, and I owe you so much appreciation because I wasn't even thinking about it until you and Jim Nance brought it up, and then Dick Vermeil kind of carried the ball from there. And so I owe so much to everybody. It was a. It was a wonderful weekend, Dan. I, I have to say that I was shocked when Jane Kennedy was brought in to introduce me. Okay. At the banquet that night. Completely unexpected. And of course, Guy, along with Phyllis George, worked on the NFL today at Irv Cross and Jimmy the Great. Jane's got a. Got a book out called Plain Jane and she's a great story. I, I recommend that for. But then I want to compliment the city of Canton, Ohio. You know, this is their biggest weekend. People were so nice and the committee and, oh, by the way, I had at least two people mention Dan Patrick needs to bring his show into Canton for the hall of Fame. Okay? They came, they came right to me and I said, listen, I'll mention this, Dan, because there are. We had over 100 hall of Famers show up. So, yes, I so appreciate the honor and so does the family, but I was a kid in a candy store when they started introducing all these guys that I had covered. Dan Fouts did a fantastic job. They bring them out to a stage and then they set a couple of rows on either side and they bring out the new hall of Famers. And, you know, the four guys who were inducted this year had such great stories when they came out. I'll start with Sterling Sharp. He was the only one of the four, by the way. It was a first round draft choice, okay. By the Green Bay Packers. And then it was so heartwarming when he and Shannon hugged each other up on the stage. Shannon presented him with the gold jacket. First brothers to make the Pro Football hall of Fame. And I couldn't resist. I got over to Sterling, I whispered in his ear, eli Manning will never forgive you. They beat Eli to the punch there of going into the whole thing. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't know why it took so long. And maybe you're not the right person to ask this, but you're in. You're a Hall of Famer. And I'm very happy, you know, and a lot of this just like with John Fasenda, he was the voice of the NFL. And I just said, don't forget about who helped us get here to a multi, multi billion dollar organization company. And I'm glad you got to experience that. You know, I wish that Irv Cross had been around, you know, Jimmy the Great, you know, people that you were with when you did the first pregame show. Did any idea if that was how successful that was going to be when you started? Well, I like the idea that we were going live. Remember now, the pregame show on CBS prior to the NFL Today had been called Countdown to Kickoff. Pat Summerall and Jack Whitaker, they taped it on Friday night. Friday night. Okay. And it was Bob Wessler's idea. Let's do this live. And then the halftimes and the, and the post game, there was, I felt, sort of an immediate impact, especially when Mike Wallace strolled in about week number four. And you guys are doing great. Yeah, because I always said, coming up next is 60min. Know what I'm saying? What is your favorite moment, though, or story that if you know, all the years. Well, you know, let me go to the night that Jimmy the Greek and I had our little fisticuffs in a New York saloon. Okay, Let me tell everybody. Jimmy objected to the fact that he thought I cut him short. Everybody's got to remember we only had about 28 minutes of airtime. So I had to dish it out to everybody. Okay? So I was living in Los Angeles at the time, actually, I was working with Connie Chung on the news in la. And then I'd fly in for the NFL today. So I got a call the morning after I returned to la. We're gonna fire the Greek. We're gonna get rid of it. I said, hey, hold on, let me get back to you a little bit. And I went back, I talked to my wife, Arlene. I said, you know, Arlene, I don't want the Greeks blood on my hands because we had an incident. I mean, we're very close. We're like brothers. So I thought about calling back and I said, please don't fire the Greek. We'll find a way. Okay. So we knew Bob Arum, the boxing guy, really well, and he got us a bell and a couple pair of boxing gloves. And we opened up the next week and made the light of it. And life went on from there. So, you know, it's the people, Dan. I just loved working with the people that we had. Phyllis left us for a while because she thought she was going to become an Oscar winning Movie star. And Jane Kennedy was brought in after that, and it was such a delight. Jane was loved by the players when she would go out for the interviews. And then Phyllis came back a little bit later. Things didn't quite work out in Hollywood, but it was the people that I dealt with that I loved who got the better of the fight. Well, the Greek hit me in the side. You know, it wasn't a very tough blow. My brother might have got the best of it, but the smartest guy in the bar was the bartender, and he turned the lights off. Okay. And so nobody could see anybody. Okay. So it kind of calmed down okay now. But what happened was I was at table when the Greek came in, but sitting at the bar was a guy who worked on the city desk of the New York Post. And he ran back and of course, bada bang, you know, there's the picture of the Greek kid, Phillips, and, you know, off, off, off we go. If he hadn't been in there having a cold one, okay, between shifts, I don't think anybody would have known about it, to tell you the truth. But, yeah, it was. It was on in an instant and over in an instant. Well, I'm happy for you. I'm proud of you. You helped put it in my head that I could do this, or they had jobs like this when I was growing up, but happy in any role that we possibly played. But that was more of just to remind people the greatness of Brent Musburger. So thank you. I hope it was everything that you hoped for this weekend. It was. And, Dan, thanks to you. Thank you so much. That's the hall of Famer, Brent Musburger, 2025 Pro Football hall of Fame inductee. And I was thinking about this weekend and. And once again, Brent did all the work. Sometimes you have to remind people of those who came before us. Kurt Flood is not in the Baseball hall of Fame. Kurt Flood is the reason why you have the salaries that we have. He challenged Major League Baseball. It cost him, but he was willing to sit out because he didn't think that he should be treated like a piece of property. And Kurt Flood was one of the great defensive outfielders, played for a World Series champion. He was a very good player. But I started to think about the contributions to the game, and I love that aspect with hall of Fames, just like John Fasenda and Brett Musburger and so many different people in certain halls of fame that they contributed to the growth of the game. Curt Flood is one of the most. Oh, boy. I'm. I. I don't even know if there's word or words courageous to. To take on Major League Baseball and say, no, you don't own my rights after I'm done with your team or done playing. Like, it just felt like he said, I'm not a piece of meat here. But when you think about the importance. Why isn't he in the Baseball hall of Fame as a contributor? Like, Buck o' Neill played in the Negro Leagues, and Buck lived long enough to be able to tell everybody about these great players who played in the Negro Leagues so they could get into the hall of Fame. And I said to somebody with the Baseball hall of Fame, I said, buck o' Neill is a Hall of Famer. He was a very good player, but contributions to the game. Buck o' Neill was the one who was there with eulogies, your career eulogy. He was telling everybody about these players so they could get into the hall of Fame. Those who didn't get to see those in the Negro Leagues, I said, that's contributions to the game. Kurt Flood deserves to be in the Baseball hall of Fame. It's in the Cardinals hall of Fame, I believe. But he, Kurt Flood, he wasn't afraid. He took on the system. Yeah. Marvin. So is Kurt Flood on the same level as Sonny Vaccaro to you? No different. Sonny Vaccaro should be in the Basketball hall of Fame, but Kurt Flood, what he did that was for all of the players to be treated differently. Sunny just found a loophole and said, hey, I can sell shoes and make money for the coaches, make money, you know, for the players. You know, that was business. But he contributed to the game. And signing Michael Jordan and signing Kobe Bryant and almost signed LeBron James. You know, he. He was involved in the. The movers and shakers, but different. But contributions to the. Kurt Flood truly contributed to the game. I mean, you would not sh. Otani may not have any idea who Kurt Flood is, but he should. And I would hope maybe baseball can rectify that and put him into the Baseball hall of Fame. And I. And I've gotten on this kick as I get older and. And really my time of doing this job is diminishing. But Barry Melrose in the Hockey hall of Fame, Don Cherry in the. In the. In the Hockey hall of Fame, Sonny Vaccaro in the Basketball hall of Fame, Mel Kuyper in the Pro Football hall of Fame, Kurt Flood in the Baseball hall of Fame, to me, these are no brainers. And I. I don't envy those who vote on the hall of Fame. I just want to remind you and any of you voters that ever want to talk about why I think this way or if I can add any kind of backdrop, I'll be more than happy to do it. And I don't have any other interest in it than telling the correct story and doing the right things for these people. But Kurt Flood should be in the Baseball hall of Fame as a contributor. Maybe you don't, you know, put him in there as a player. I understand that. But contributions to the game. And if you're not familiar with Curt Flood, please Google him and understand what he did. And at the end of his career, he sacrificed his career so players could become free agents. And I remember Andy Messersmith. He was the first free agent in baseball history. Now we take it for granted. Now it's normal. But it wasn't then Major League Baseball. He was Buoy Kuhn, was the commissioner. It was Buoy Kuhn v. Kurt Flood. And Kurt Flood eventually won. All right, we'll take a break. We'll get phone calls coming up. Sterling Sharp, Pro Football hall of Famer. He will join us coming up next.

That was my dad reminding me and so many others who need to hear it that our trauma is not our shame to carry and that we have big, bold and beautiful lives to live after what happened to us. I'm your host and co president of this organization, Dr. Lea Trittate. On my new podcast, the Unwanted Sorority, we wade through transformation to peel back healing and reveal what it actually looks like and sounds like in real time. Each week I sit down with people who've lived through harm, carried silence, and are now reshaping the systems that failed us. We're going to talk about the adultification of black girls mothering as resistance and the tools we use for healing. The Unwanted Sorority is a safe space, not a quiet space. So let's lock in.

Like you're building a team from scratch and so the succession plan of long term success needs to be defined. We need to embrace this community. When I was 13, my uncle took me to a qualifier and we watched Paraguay against Chile, pouring rain. Just watching the fans jumping up and down, I think that was definitely a watershed moment for me. Not only was that going to be my game, but it was going to be my life. Listen to San Diego FC behind the flow now on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. There was a moment over the weekend. It's called the Gold Jacket Dinner and Brett Musburger spoke there. Mary Kay Cabot, the Cleveland Browns beat reporter she was honored there as well. And Mary Kay Cabot, who has been around long enough to have covered the Cleveland Browns when Bill Belichick was there, took a shot at Bill Belichick over the weekend. Bill Belichick was the first Browns coach I ever covered. You see, if you start out with Bill Belichick, no one can rattle you after that. If Bill didn't like something I wrote, he'd call and yell at me. If you asked a dumb question, he'd call you out. Eventually I had to learn to stand up to him. During one of those yelling matches, I told him, if you don't have the footballs to say that to the guys, then don't say it to me. Bam. But now I totally understand why Bill gave me such a hard time. I was 28 at the time, and he just couldn't relate to a woman that old. Okay, Bill Belichick's girlfriend said that, but basically it wasn't funny. It was funny. I don't think that's very funny. I don't think that she's kind of disappeared here a little bit. It kind of may be back in the shadows there. Can't we just stop tearing each other down and support each other? I think it's a good thing that she's maybe just slightly removed from the spotlight. Yes. Dylan, do you think there's a conversation like, honey, we need to talk about you being in the media all the time? I don't. I have no idea. I have a hard time relating to my 27 year old daughter, though. Like if, if you said I was dating somebody the age of my daughter, that'd be creepy. Yeah. Yeah. I think that that's. Therein lies the issue. Well, it's kind of hard. It's kind of hard to relate to a 27 year old daughter. Yes, Todd. And does he tell her directly to step back a little? Does he put in a little suggestion box? You leave a little note under the pillow? I don't, I don't know how it. And good luck to them. I. I love love. And if they're love, whatever it is you love, all love. I just love love. What is love? What's love got to do with it? It's just secondhand emotion. Tatum in Texas. Good morning, Tatum. Good morning. Four, six, 71 pounds. Hey, Dan, second time caller. I have a best and worst of the weekend and a question. Best of the weekend, my baseball team started to practice again for our fall season. Worst of the weekend, my favorite team, the Astros, didn't have a good Weekend against the Red Sox. Speaking of that, what are. What are you in the. Danette's favorite sports teams? All right, well, Tatum, thank you for calling. Fritzi loves the Astros, although they're not your modern day Astros. Correa back. They are back in the 80s. He also likes the Denver Broncos. Seaton likes the Patriots. Marvin is a San Francisco 49ers fan. Dylan, Baltimore Ravens. Dan. Oh, that's right. That is right. Yeah, I've been wearing this hat. Yeah. Ravens fan. Can't do that. Paulie loves the. Anybody in Chicago. Paulie loves Cubs, Bears, maybe the White Sox, too, but I don't have a favorite team. I. I gave that up a long time ago, probably around 1990, after the Reds won the World Series. Then I was like, I'm done. I cannot root while I'm on SportsCenter. That, to me, is not the approach you should have. We should be unbiased when we're on SportsCenter. And not to get preachy, because I worked with a lot of people who love to tell you who their favorite teams were. I just never wanted to say, hey, I'm a Cincinnati fan. Let me say something about Pittsburgh. And then you're going to go, yeah, but he's a Bengals fan. I just didn't want that. Yes. Marvin, you know, DP as the young kid. Say, I'm g. Call cap. Because who Cap it. Big cap. You talk about the Sacramento Kings a whole lot. And what team did they used to be? The Cincinnati Royals. Bloop. Oh, my God. Wow. That is. That's going a long way to connect dots. I just. I watched the Sacramento Kings because nobody else does. That's what I watched. No one watched the Royals either. No, they did not. But I got to go and watch. I got to go watch them in person. Yes. Yes. Dylan, just admit you're a Cincinnati homer. Dan, I'm not all known at all these years. I'm not. What. What do you. What's your take? You mentioned it briefly with Paul. Your take on can you be a fan of two teams in the same city, same sport? So, like, can you be a White Sox and Cubs fan or like a Yankee and Mets fan? No. Yeah, I don't think so. You shouldn't be. I guess you can be, but you shouldn't be. Bob and Boise. Hi, Bob. What's on your mind today? Hey, DP Hey. And let me just say, I enjoyed the mellow music during the break instead of commercials. Got. Got two best of the weekend. Okay. First, my Milwaukee brewers scoring 38 runs this past weekend, only six fewer than the all time record of 44 by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1930. And second. Probably one no one has on their radar. But Cooper Lukenhaus finished second in the men's 800 meters final yesterday to qualify for the world championships in Tokyo next month. He's in high school, right. Which is nice because he's 16 years old. Yeah, I watched, I watched some of those races and I did watch. Was it the 200 meters? Noah Lyles. Noah Lyles. And I thought, oh man, he's going to get beat. And I don't. Is it Bed Nerc? Is that the name of the sprinter who had the headband on? He thought he's winning that race. And Noah Lyles, at the last second, you can just see him and he is going to get him. And he ran him down. It was pretty impressive. Kenny in la. Hi, Kenny. What's on your mind today? Kenny Bednarik. There you go. Track and field, underrated sport. So Marvin kind of stole my thunder on the best and worst of the weekend. And your last caller did too with the brewers there. But going to the wnba, which we don't talk about too much on your show. On the worst was Nafisa Collier, who was leading candidate for MVP, being held in the game with a 50 point lead and leaving with a sprained ankle. Yeah, I know, I know. I never understand that when you're watching like, you know, the UConn women, they could be up by 40 and some of their starters are still in. And I just said, you know, you run the risk like what, what are you doing? And Collier is really a wonderful player and should be the mvp. Thank you, Kenny, for the phone call. Brian in San Antonio. Hi, Brian. Hey, Good morning, Dan. Five foot six down to 185. I also have a best and best. My weekend started on Thursday, Dan, and the best was just Thursday Night Football. It was like an old friend coming home and it was awesome. Don't care who was playing, just wanted to watch it. My other best of the weekend is a Denver Broncos locking up Zach Allen with a great contract for a guy who's been an absolute beast on the defensive line. The Broncos are like the anti cowboy, Dan. They've done a fantastic job of locking up their young guys in. In certain. And Sutton, well, the. Sutton's a vet, you know, locking up Zach Allen, he's going back to bowls and some of those other guys, they're just doing a fantastic job. I do have a pie to the face bet for the boys for whoever's interested. All right. Okay, let's hear the bet. So I think one of the sneaky good pickups during the offseason was the Miami Dolphins picking up Zach Wilson. Broncos wanted to keep him, but he was going to be too expensive. You know, three terrible years for the Jets. He has a year of football rehab. I don't think there's any way in the world that Tua actually makes all 17 games. My pie to the face bet is that Zach Wilson will start and win at least three games for the Dolphins this season. Okay, does anybody want a piece of Brian in San Antonio? Zach Wilson starts and wins at least three games this year. Dylan's in for it. Anybody else want a piece of that? So Brian is taking the over and that he's taken three plus three starts. At least three starts, three wins for Zach Wilson in Miami. I'll take that. All right. All right. You got two takers there, Brian. So two pies if you lose. And then Dylan and Seaton on my end. Eric in Michigan. Good morning, Eric. What's on your mind today? Danny, thanks for the call. Yeah. 6 foot, 215.8. I got a best and a worse, and a question for you. The best of the weekend was I finally got to go out golfing for the first time this summer. The worst was I had to rip up my scorecard after the third hole after losing five balls. Question for you, Shadow Chocinko, hall of Famer or hall of. Very, very good. And if you guys decide to do your jack competition at the Notre Dame USC game, I've got access to a high school gym and a track. If you guys wanted to, like, do a combine or however you wanted to do it. It'd be good, content. All right. Thank you, Eric, for the offer. I'm still trying to see who wants to run this race. The winner gets $500. Who is the fastest person in the building? And it started with one brg, Rob, who said he could beat Zion Williamson in a race. And then we went, wow, okay. And then Marvin goes, there is no way he could beat Zion Williamson in a race. Then all of a sudden, it became a 5K. And then all of a sudden, I thought it was a hundred meter dash, but I want to find out who's the fastest person in the building. Yes. Maybe we do it in Vegas at the end of this jacked fest. What were we calling it again? The Jacked Off. Oh, the Jack Off. That's right. We do it in Vegas there. Yeah. Who's jacked the most yeah. Yeah. We have all this time to train. Yeah. Newton in Richmond. Hey, Newton. Hey, Dan. Thanks for taking the call. So I'm 60 and I've been a Dallas fan since 1971, and I've seen every iteration since then. And I think that based on the fact that Jerry's proven more than once that he's not what he thinks he is because he's been struggling to make a winning team since he fired Jimmie Johnson, and the only thing he's really succeeded at is making a ton of money. Now, as a businessman, you can't argue that he kind of knows what he's doing. Although when you see what Dak Prescott's getting paid as a result of being franchise tag two years in a row, it begs the question, does he really understand what's going on as a general manager? But I would have to say, hands down, that if you want to be on a winning team, unfortunately, Dallas isn't the one to go to. If you want to make money and notoriety because of all of the drama and all of the crap that goes on during the season and off season, great. But if you want to be a winner, that's not the place to go. And it's sad for me because I'm loyal to them. And I'm pretty certain we're not going to make the playoffs this year because the defense is going to be just as bad or worse than last year. Thank you, Newton. Yeah, I don't know if it's a destination. It feels like it still is. Because you can go there to be famous. Doesn't mean that you're going to be great, but you can be famous. Dak Prescott's not great, but he's famous. CD Lamb can be great. Micah Parsons can be great, but you're, you know, your value is inflated because you played for the Cowboys. Yes, Marvin. Now, when's the last time a big time free agent went to the Cowboys a la Deion Sanders? Like, you know what? I want to be a Cowboy. Like, being famous. They're probably already famous, but I just want to go to a really good team. Derrick Henry wanted to go to the Cowboys, but he lives in Dallas. Yeah, I can't believe that was shocking. But that goes back to what I've said. If you act sooner, can you save some money? Could you have saved, like, $2 million? And that would be the difference of Derrick Henry playing for the Cowboys? One, one and a half million dollars, two million dollars per year. Do you think the Cowboys would be better with Derrick Henry as their starting Running back. And that's a rhetorical question, because the answer is obvious. That's what I don't understand. And, you know, you sign up Jake Ferguson, who's a really good tight end, but there was no drama with that. You signed him up, nobody heard anything, no agent, no nothing. Nobody's mad, no acrimony, just like, all right. Taking care of you. Yes, Marvin. But I feel like being a part of the Cowboys, you're really famous in the off season, more so than the regular season. Because even though in this show, maybe for us, maybe not other networks, but when the season starts, we're going to talk Eagles, Lions, like the good teams. But if you said to a TV executive, pick a team, you know who they're going to pick. Cowboys over everybody, doesn't matter. Eagles are great. Chiefs are great. Ravens are great. Hey, what. What team do you want? Eagles. Cowboys to start the season. One month from tonight, the season starts and it's the Cowboys and the Eagles. Yes. Yes. Dylan, do you think, like, over the last couple years they might actually opt for the Chiefs, though, Like, on top of winning and like all the Taylor Swift stuff and everything else, but then people kind of. I don't know. There was blowback of having Taylor Swift on. I. I don't know if they're a national draw. I think they're a great organization, great team, but I don't know if. All right, we're going to watch because of Travis Kelsey or Taylor Swift or Patrick Mahomes. I don't. I don't know. It always felt like it was. It was more of a negative than a positive. Oh, will you stop showing Taylor Swift? Taylor Swift didn't say, hey, I'm going to come on. But I want seven different cameos here. But that's like. I mean, that's. The Cowboys are just all bad press, too. So, like. But they're still the Cowboys. You either root for them or you root against them. I don't know. Like, the Chiefs aren't a villain, they're just really good. The Eagles, I mean, I don't have anything against the Eagles. Like, their fans can be really brutal, but, I mean, it's a great organization. Yeah. Marvin, how many national teams do you think there are in the NFL? Because I think the Chiefs are probably on the same level as the Golden State warriors, where you take Patrick Mahomes off. They're not a national team. Same thing with Steph Curry. You take the step off the warriors and then a national team. So how many national teams do you think there are in the NFL. I'd say the Packers, Steelers, Cowboys. I don't know who else would fall. I mean, the TV executives. You know, maybe there's up updated data on that that would say these are the top draws in the, in the NFL. But I just remember when I was at NBC Football Night in America, we were like, how many, how many Cowboy games do we have? Because you knew that, that, that was a big number. Yeah. Dill. So this is. The Chiefs were the most watched team of 2024 with 25.5 million viewers. But the Cowboys and 49ers were the only teams with losing records that made the list. Okay, well, what's that mean, the most watched? That they had a game that was the most watched? That was 25.5 million average per game. Okay. In 2024. Okay. Yeah. It just, it doesn't feel like there's the we hate them. You know, you need to have that rivalry or, you know, I, the Steelers did this to us or the packers and Cowboys. It's just for some reason, even though the product may not be great, it's still the Cowboys the way they present the game. And Jerry Jones, you got the star. And you know, there's, it's a, it displays well, maybe not the actual playing of football, but you do tune in to watch them lose as well. All right, last call for phone calls. What we learned, what's in store tomorrow. I'm not sure how I lost Sterling Sharp here. So I, I have all of these different. I have all this correspondence with Sterling Sharp. He's good to go. I'm going to try to zoom. Okay, here's the zoom. Can't blame you, Todd. I was trying to take care of this. It's a tough business. It's a business, the booking game. It is. It is. It's not easy. Not easy at all. We'll take a break. We're back after this. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.

Sometimes it's hard to remember, but going through something like that is a traumatic experience, but it's also not the end of your life. That was my dad reminding me and so many others who need to hear it that our trauma is not our shame to carry and that we have big, bold and beautiful lives to live after what happened to us. I'm your host and co president of this organization, Dr. Leitra Tate. On my new podcast, the Unwanted Sorority, we wade through transformation to peel back healing and reveal what it actually looks like, like and sounds like in real time. Each week I sit down with people who've lived through harm, carried silence, and are now reshaping the systems that failed us. We're going to talk about the adultification of black girls mothering as resistance and the tools we use for healing. The Unwanted Sorority is a safe space, not a quiet space. So let's lock in.

What we learn what's in store tomorrow, this day in sports history. Since Paulie's not here, he normally does the honors. I will do it today. Jesse Owens, 1936. He won his second gold medal of the Berlin Olympics, setting an Olympic record in the long jump. Joel Youngblood. In 1982, he played for the Mets in a day game, traded to the Expos, and then made it to Philadelphia in time to have a base hit for Montreal. So he had two base hits for two different teams on the same day. Let's see, anything else? I think that's it. Was there anything else this day in sports history, Todd, that you wanted to add? I think that should cover it. Okay. Yes, I have one. Dan. Yes, Dylan. Byron Nelson in 1945 won his 11th consecutive PGA Tour win at the Canadian Open. That's pretty good. I got to visit him in Texas before he passed away, and I did. They were legends of the PGA Tour. And I went down there to talk to Byron Nelson, and he had a. A club with him. He was holding a hawk or a golf club with him. And we were leaning on this wooden fence at his ranch. I remember his hands were huge. Huge. Him and Arnold Palmer had these huge hands. And Byron Nelson could not have been a nicer person. But that's when I asked him if he would call up Ben Hogan, who didn't live too far from him, and see if Ben Hogan wanted to sit down to do an interview. And he was like, oh, no, no, I won't. I can't do that. You're using him to get to Hogan. Well, at the very end, he started talking about Ben Hogan, and I thought, God, I mean, why not take a shot? I'm. I'm not that far away from where Ben lives. And there had been Ben Hogan sightings, and I thought that'd be pretty cool. You know, he was like J.D. salinger of the. The golf tour. I thought, you know what? Hey, would you call Ben Hogan for me and see if he'd maybe sit down for an interview? Oh. Oh, no, no, no. I can't do that. No shot. Yeah. Yes, Todd. Forty years ago today, Rod Carew, 3,000th hit or Frank Viola. And also 40 years ago today, 300th win for Tom Seaver as a member of the Chicago White Sox. That's kind of fun. Yeah. 3,340 years ago today. Thank you, Todd. You're welcome. August 4th, 1985. All righty. Baker in Illinois. Hi, Bake. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan. How you doing? Six, one, two, fifty. I'm with Marvin on your supposed lack of fandom. And so I'm thinking on the very last segment of your very last show here in a few years, you just come out in a Reds jersey and a Bengals cap and say, all right, I'm out of the closet. No, because I used to be fans of those teams. I'm just not anymore. I gotta be. When the Rams beat the Bengals in the Super Bowl, I thought it was a great story for the Rams. If the Bengals had won, it would have been a great story. I. I have to look at it right down the middle. I do. Hard to do, but I do it. I don't even think about loyalty like that anymore. Yes. Dylan, when you retire from doing the show, will you restart your fandom maybe pick new teams. No, no, no. I can't see sports differently than I have for the last 40 years that I still look for the story. I don't. I couldn't care less. I mean, I'll care about a fan base or maybe a player that I know, but I'm not going to openly root. And. And look, there were sports center anchors. They're still their current sports center anchors, and they want to tell you about their fandom. Our job is to be unbiased. That's all. I mean, that was my approach. That's how I was taught when I was brought up, learning how to do this at cnn, be a reporter, be unbiased. And, you know, there are times when you're rooting for a story, but my fandom is. Is not worn on my sleeve. David in Ohio. Hi, David. What's on your mind? Hey, Dan. You guys are talking about the Cowboys earlier. I got a fun bet idea for you. Will Shea and Irving call into the Dan Patrick show within 24 hours of a Cowboys wild card loss? Odds were minus 1000. Also bonus if he says fraudulent within the first place. And Gary the Clown and Dax Mid and this team is soft. Well, he'll also talk about the Ginger. He's still blaming former coaches. And I'll go, Jason Garrett is not part of the or. Danny, you know, it's like he stained the organization. Jerry hired him. But yeah, Shea will definitely call in. Jalen in North Carolina. Hi, Jalen. Hey, Dan. 63270, couple best and the worst. William Byron finally broke through and won yesterday at the Iowa corn.350 after a tough stretch there over the past month or so. And then Brock Lesnar returning last night at SummerSlam was pretty sick. And then my worst is the New York Yankees. The season's over, so I just kind of wanted to get that out there. Yeah, I just. And I'm not calling for somebody to be fired, but, you know, Aaron Boone, like, we're running out of time. It feels like for a team that went to the World Series, like, I don't know, just feels like there's a malaise over that team. Yeah, Marvin and the Yankees feel like they got to the World Series because the American League isn't all that strong. Yeah, I know, but it's weird to say, man, I don't know. But you got to the World Series. I think we saw the big separation with, you know, the National League and the American League there. Yes, Dale. I'll just say the Mets did better against the Dodgers last year than the Yankees did. All right. Thank you. Dylan. Thanks for sitting in for Paul. Paul expected back you of course, playing. I don't. Thanks for having me. Dan. Playing hurt. Playing hurt, question mark. Yeah, but you playing soft, I think. Yeah. You actually. I texted you. I said no major damage. Looks like maybe just his ligament strain. You just go soft. That's. Yes, yes. Soft. With all the drama. Soft. Yeah. Tears. Todd, what'd you learn today? If Luca really watches how LeBron prepares his body for a new season, he could become the best player in the game. Seaton, I learned Dylan has an injury. Marvin, you think Kurt Flood should be in the Baseball hall of Fame? Yes, I do. As a contributor. Dylan, Jesse Owens won a second gold medal on this day. Suck it Hitler. Oh yeah, you say it now. Todd, what did I learn? You recommend the new Ed Sullivan documentary on Netflix. Sunday Best the Untold Story of Ed Sullivan. Most cars on the road TLC at Mako they bring your car back to life.
