It's only natural. You see, these golfers mistaken the true green lawns for an actual golf course. Have you noticed that?
Marvin
Come on.
Dan Patrick
No, no, I'm serious. They're the official lawn care treatment provider, the PGA Tour, so they know what it takes to get golf course quality lawns.
Seaton
So you're saying we could host a tournament out back?
Dan Patrick
Well, yeah, I guess we can. Get your own golf course quality lawn@trugreen.com trugreen.com let the pros handle the lawn. Just don't be surprised when golfers show up.

Dan Patrick
You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio final hour on this Monday. Best and worst of the weekend. We will give you hours. Coming up, was there a memorable play? When we look back on this Super Bowl 10 years, 15 years down the road, will there be a singular play that we remember, by the way, the Olympics have started in Milan, Northern Italy, experience the world's biggest show, prime time on NBC. And Peacock, in fact, Mike Tirico is in the air in a private jet going from San Francisco to Italy where. Where he will be hosting part of the Winter Olympics there, watching Lindsey Vaughn and breaking her leg. And I wondered if she should have been competing anyway, if you consider trying to go down those mountains at those speeds. Anyway, she's 41 years of age and then you tear your ACL. Are you favoring it? Can that ACL hold up at all? It's been a great story, but all of a sudden, you know, tripped up, then broke her leg and ends a great story of the, the potential. Well, the comeback was she did make the team and got to Italy, but that was one of those where you, when she fell, you knew it was serious. All right, 877-3-DP show email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle @DP show more phone calls coming up. Drake May, after the loss last night, spoke to the media and talked about what this meant. You know, it definitely hurts. It's been a long ride. They played better than us tonight. They deserve to win that game. And, you know, speaking, you know, for the whole team and you know, myself, just what a journey it's been for us. I love this team, love those guys in the locker room. And we'll leave it all on the field. And I know a lot of guys do that tonight and just came up short, didn't play our best, and that's what happens. No inside knowledge on this, but I wouldn't be surprised if you hear that he's having some minor shoulder surgery. He got shot up before the game. We found out after the game. But, and I don't know how that impacted him, he said he wasn't feeling anything. If you've ever been shot up with any kind of painkiller, you know, even if it's cortisone, but they're shot up with, you know, something that a lot heavier there. And he said, I don't feel anything now. I don't know if it affected him or not. The reason why I was surprised that if you had your shoulder shot up, you're kind of putting him in a position where he's a sitting duck back there. I have to have everything quick. I don't want anybody to get a free run at him. And they'll go after that shoulder. So once again, I didn't understand the offensive philosophy. I'm going to give Seattle a ton of credit with how they went after Drake May. I was just surprised that Josh McDaniels, the most experienced offensive coordinator super bowl history, wasn't changing things up or I didn't from my vantage point, see that there was anything else going on. Run the football. It felt like they got away from the run pretty early, and now all of a sudden, Seattle was coming. And Seattle realized, maybe New England's not changing back. But I never would have had him back there because they didn't have a deep threat. I don't have to have him back and, you know, biting time to be able to throw something deep, it's got to be short. I got to keep it short. Screen passes, run the football. Something that takes away from Seattle's pressure because Seattle was just going, all right, who wants to run in and tackle him? Okay, But I thought it was an incredible defensive performance. And I know we get caught up in, was it a good game? Was it exciting? It's like when a pitcher throws, you know, a shutout and you go, was that exciting? Well, it depends on how you look at it. I thought it was impressive. Maybe not exciting, but impressive. What they were doing, how they were doing it. Even New England's defense, I mean, that was. That was high end defense on both sides. And New England keeping the Patriots in this game because they're only giving up field goals. It felt like Seattle should have been up 35 to nothing, but it's 12 to nothing and you're thinking it's. It's just close enough. If something falls your way now, all of a sudden, you might get a little momentum. Seaton, what's the poll question for the final hour of the program?
Seaton
Yeah, we got three of them up there right now. Which unit deserves the most credit for Seattle's win? Pass rush, secondary, run game, or special teams? The pass rush has 78% of that vote. You want to guess what's in second place between secondary, run game and special teams?
Dan Patrick
Special teams.
Seaton
Special teams and secondary are actually kind of tied. Shout out to special teams. You guys are real football players for sure. Here's one from Paul Pabst. Which fan base feels worse today? Patriots, Bills, Broncos, Vikings. The Vikings currently leading that poll with 34% of the vote. I don't think Patriots fans should feel bad today at all. And then what actually decided last night's game? The Seahawks pass rush, The Patriots offensive line, special teams, or coaching that? Pass rush, 67%.
Dan Patrick
You can't have a pass rush without a bad offensive line, can you certainly helped. Yeah.
Seaton
So no doubt about that.
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Yeah. Paulie.
Paulie
The. They hit Drake May 11 times. Seven different players on their defense hit Drake May.
Dan Patrick
Kenneth Walker Jr. III rushed for 135, most by any player since Terrell Davis had 157 in the Broncos Super Bowl. You know, that's where you go back to. That was about defense and running the football. There are numerous occasions now, there have been times when you go, oh, they won that because were throwing the ball, being able to run the football and play good defense. And then you throw in special teams. I mean, go back with the Patriots. I mean, they had Adam Ven to go along with a very good defense when. When Brady first won. They didn't win because of Tom. They won because that defense and you had Adam Vinitari having that. If you can get any kind of representation in those categories and it's at a higher end than the team you're playing, you're going to win. And then no turnovers. The fact they went the entire postseason with no turnovers never happened before. All right, Todd. Best and worst of the weekend.
Todd
Are we keeping it to Super Bowl? Can I go off the board? How do we want to do?
Dan Patrick
Whatever you want to do.
Todd
My best of the weekend. The NYU women's basketball team broke a Division 3 record on Sunday. They took down Carnegie Mellon Sunday to make it 82 straight wins. Go violence. So that was my best of the weekend. Worst of the weekend was mentioned earlier. Also, sadly, Seth Trimble. It's a game. Winning three for North Carolina beats Duke 7,168. Biggest comeback over the Blue Devils in the past 25 years. Sounds like a best, but Duke coach John Shire says some of his coaching staff were punched in the face during the court storming in Chapel Hill.
Dan Patrick
Seaton. Best and worst of the weekend.
Seaton
My best of the weekend was actually the flyover before the game. God, that was the one. The camera work was absolutely spectacular on it. And for some reason this year, it really dawned on me just how many things had to time out exactly right in the lead up to that flyover where those planes flew over just as the anthem is like, sort of crescendoing was absolutely spectacular. And the camera work on that was really, really great. My worst of the weekend was actually the commercials. I'm not necessarily a commercials guy. I don't mind them either way, but I do expect them. It is something that I sort of look forward to. I really didn't feel like this year got it at all.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, it didn't Feel like there, there. There was that. Oh, my God, that. Like, you. You. You'd be talking about that commercial today because there wasn't one. Even the goodwill Duncan, you got to have Matt Damon in the role because he's Gil Goodwill hunting. And then you throw in Tom Brady and then Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston cameo, and it was like, oh, okay, yeah, a little star power here. All right. It was okay.
Seaton
And it feels like in years past, they would have just actually gotten all of those people to be in the commercial rather than the sort of AI generated version of them.
Dan Patrick
Yeah. I don't know if there was a commercial where I went, okay, like the Kevin from the office. I thought that that was a clever one. And then there were a lot of Kevin, Brian Bumgarner. There was a look Kevin look alike contest where he had a bunch of guys who look like him with his hair, and then he's. The payoff is the chili episode, maybe the most famous episode in the history of the Office where he's carrying in the chili with a, you know, reasonable facsimile of himself. I thought that that was kind of clever, but there wasn't anything where I went, okay, well, that's. That's clever. In fact, it was almost to the opposite where I kept going. When are these things going to get good? Like, are they waiting for the fourth quarter before they're going to bring out the. The heavy heavyweights? Marvin. Best and worst of the weekend.
Marvin
My best of the weekend, my favorite player in the NBA, Stefan Castle. 40 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists.
Dan Patrick
Pretty good.
Marvin
Worst of the weekend, my Yukon Huskies. They lost to St. John's over the weekend. No bueno.
Todd
Wow.
Marvin
Still getting farther into Arizona, though.
Dan Patrick
You have a pie to the face bet, don't you?
Marvin
I have an Uncle Phil haircut to the face. To the head, rather.
Dan Patrick
Oh, you do?
Marvin
Yeah. So a guy called.
Dan Patrick
Oh, that's right. That's right.
Todd
Yep.
Dan Patrick
Okay.
Marvin
Don't believe in it.
Dan Patrick
Can you grow hair?
Marvin
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
Like Todd.
Todd
I don't know what that's supposed to mean, but it sounds like a show.
Dan Patrick
No, no. On the sides.
Marvin
Oh, yeah. I can go hair on the top, too. It's just. I was just doing tricks with the hairline and the corners.
Dan Patrick
Like Pauline. Yeah.
Marvin
Yes, very much so. Yes.
Dan Patrick
Okay.
Marvin
It's. But instead, we're just going to cut the top so it can look like Fritzi.
Todd
That's a great look, as we all know.
Seaton
It'd be awesome if he did that, like, lined up, spray on sort of hair.
Dan Patrick
Like LeBron.
Seaton
Like some coaches got to. Yeah, that's kind of awesome.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Seaton
Put the little guide on your forehead.
Dan Patrick
And there you go.
Marvin
New year, new me.
Dan Patrick
When does LeBron get that done? Like, is it pre game? Where Get.
Paulie
Get what done, Dan?
Dan Patrick
His hairline.
Marvin
I mean, look, he had. Look like some surgery. Because if you remember the end of the first Cleveland run.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Marvin
His head. Like his headband.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Marvin
Was at the top of his head. It wasn't weird like the forehead. It was at the top to hide the hairline that was receding at 25.
Paulie
That's called the Lester Holt.
Dan Patrick
The Lester Holt?
Paulie
Yeah, the high, high forehead.
Dan Patrick
Wow.
Paulie
I saw that online.
Dan Patrick
Wow. That LeBron had a Lester Holt.
Paulie
A bit of a Lester Holt direction.
Dan Patrick
Like a Peyton Manning. Yes. Peyton.
Marvin
He should have just come on home like me.
Dan Patrick
Yeah. I mean, really? Does it make you younger looking or better looking? No, he's LeBron.
Marvin
Right.
Dan Patrick
I like that somebody posted a video of LeBron, that he was running the floor before the game. Nobody else was out there, but he's running and dunking and then running at the other end and dunking. And then somebody said Laker cheerleaders just came out on the floor. He's got his shirt off and he's running up and down the floor, dunking. I went, all right. You know, Paulie. Best and worst of the weekend.
Paulie
Worst of the weekend. The interception by Drake. May8,49 left in the fourth quarter, second and three. They could have made it a game there. And then it went away quickly. Best of the weekend, Cooper cup, reminding everybody nationally that he's still a good player in the league. Six important catches. I'm curious. He needs some help for hall of Fame consideration. He had three really good years and that one monster year. He needed help and last night helped a bit. I think he's got work to do, though.
Dan Patrick
He's 32 and he's not the go to guy anymore. He's not getting in the hall of Fame now. Nope. Not getting it in the hall of Fame. I got super bowl odds, super bowl odds for next year. It's the Rams and Seahawks are tied to. Then it's the Bills, Eagles, Patriots, Ravens, same odds, 13 to 1. Packers 14 to 1. Along with the Rams, Chiefs and Chargers at 15 to 1. And I was kind of surprised with the NFL MVP odds. This according to DraftKings for next year. Josh Allen, no surprise there. But then it's Lamar Jackson, second on that list with the new head coach. Then you got Mahomes and Herbert Burrow and Drake May all lumped together there. Some of the other ones down the list, you got Dak Prescott, Matthew Stafford, then Jordan Love, Caleb Williams, Brock Purdy, Jaden Daniels and Trevor Lawrence. Yes, Todd.
Todd
Any teams from Colorado on that list? That one. That was one win away from going to the super bowl after all those teams you mentioned.
Dan Patrick
Now, let me see the super bowl odds. Seahawks, Rams, Bills, Eagles, Patriots, Ravens, Packers, Lions, Chargers, Chiefs. Sorry, Todd.
Todd
Wow, that surprised you a little bit. Forget about my fandom that Denver is not any of those like 10, 12 teams you just read and Broncos are nowhere to be.
Dan Patrick
Who should they be ahead of? Seahawks, Rams?
Todd
Well, you mentioned packers and Lions caught my eyes. I think Denver's every bit of chances, those two teams to get to the Super Bowl.
Dan Patrick
Okay. And your quarterback's not on the list for MVP on either.
Todd
Yes, I'm healing to do some healing. Physical healing.
Dan Patrick
You have some healing to do as well. Sam in Wyoming. Good morning, Sam. What's on your mind today?
Caller
Hey, dang. Thanks for taking my call. Yeah, I was just wondering, falling Buddha's lead, what was more entertaining, the first half of the super bowl or the banter about Ross Tucker being in London?
Todd
Todd, I still think there's a chance he was in London. He was too embarrassed to admit it on the air, but that's fine. I wouldn't want to admit. Yeah, they sent me to England to do this in some studio and pretend we were at the game. I understand where he's coming from.
Dan Patrick
Well, you did your research. You did check with him. You thought he might have been in England calling the game.
Todd
Yes, I asked him off the air and of course, he had a way to leave with that to make me look like a fool, which he did very successfully.
Dan Patrick
Drake may finish the playoffs. He was sacked 21 times. That's the most by a quarterback in a single postseason in NFL history.
Todd
Start of the day. Start of the day.
Dan Patrick
Start of the day.
Todd
Start of the day.
Dan Patrick
Start of the day.
Todd
Start of the day.
Dan Patrick
Brought to you by Panini America. He also had eight turnovers, most by a player since Carson Palmer had eight during the 2015 playoffs. I mean, the fact that they got to the super bowl, given the fact that he was pressured, had turnovers, had fumbles, had interceptions. I mean, it says a lot about the rest of that team and certainly that defense. And, you know, it was there again on Super Bowl Sunday. Turnovers and sacks. Yeah.
Paulie
Paulie, people were in love with Drake May weeks ago, all this season. How much of a cooling effect you think this game will have or this playoffs will have on his perception in the future?
Dan Patrick
Well, I think it should because yes, everybody was all in and I said, you know, you could have given him the mvp. I mean, he finished second by one vote, so a lot of people thought that he could have been mvp. I think he did a lot with a little and I think that Matthew Stafford did a whole lot with a whole lot and that's the biggest difference there. But if I'm the Rams, I'm a Rams fan today, I gotta go, God, we could have won this. We, if we got there, we would have won this. I don't know what other NFC team that can really say if we had gotten there, we would have won this. And also, are the Vikings gonna bring back Kirk Cousins because he got released and all indications are Kirk wants to play and Minnesota, that may be a return visit. Mac Jones according to the Niners, they're not trading him now. That doesn't mean he won't be traded, but Mac Jones and Malik Willis feel like they would be high on the priority list because you really only have one first round quarterback. It feels like this year in the draft. All right, we'll take a break. More phone calls coming up. We're back after this. Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick show, weekdays at 9am Eastern, 6am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

This is Julian Edelman from Games With Names. Now let's get into the serious stuff. We're talking football food, specifically Daisy French onion dip.
Caller
That is serious.
Julian Edelman
Gotta try these delicious new dips from Daisy. These are so delicious. They're like homemade dips made with real herb and spices and other ingredients you'll find in your kitchen. Also made with some Daisy sour cream. Daisy Sour cream is a long standing staple for Taco Tuesday.
Dan Patrick
You know what I do when I.
Paulie
Get my street burrito?
Todd
I get the squirt Daisy. Yeah.
Paulie
And every bite.
Todd
I know you. I know you.
Julian Edelman
I'm a huge sour cream guy. I love sour cream. So I think burritos can't live without sour cream.
Todd
I completely agree with that.
Julian Edelman
They also have Daisy ranch dip. I love ranch dip.
Todd
It's great.
Julian Edelman
I love it with crackers, wings, plain potato chip, the ones with the little crinkles, maybe some bell peppers. So get out there and give Daisy French onion dip a try. You will not regret it.

On June 11, 1998, a deputy from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department went missing.
Todd
It's an all out manhunt for John Ajay.
Caller
Every search and rescue team in LA county has been called in to help.
Dan Patrick
Within days, tips started flooding into the sheriff's department.
Caller
The rumor around the drug scene was that a deputy was taken care of.
Dan Patrick
Is this the story of a man who just got lost in the desert? Or of a cover up inside the nation's largest sheriff's department?
Stugots
A homicide captain saying, detective, do not find out if this guy's guilty or innocent.
Todd
Who does that?
Dan Patrick
Valley of Shadows, a new series from Pushkin Industries about crime and corruption in California's high desert. Do you have any advice for us while looking into this disappearance?
Caller
I wouldn't do it alone.
Dan Patrick
Listen to Valley of shadows on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Todd
The Volkswagen Beetle started out as Hitler's dream car. It wound up as a beloved hippie icon and the best selling car of all time. How did that happen? I'm Jacob Goldstein. And I'm Robert Smith. On business history, we tell the surprising stories behind the inventions clip and entrepreneurs that shaped our economy. And the story of the Beatle is truly surprising. It has so much in it. It has Nazis. It has the German economic miracle. And it features one of the most famous ads of all time, an ad that really redefined what advertising was in the United States. The calculation was that there was some number of Americans who were ready for something different, who were ready for something that was counter to the culture, if you will.
Stugots
Perfect timing.
Todd
Decade of the 1960s. Listen to Business History on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts and watch episodes on YouTube.
Dan Patrick
Paulie says there's already some issues there in, in Milan. What's the issue?
Paulie
Yeah, they've started giving out Winter Olympic medals and they're having issues. One of the gold medalists jumped on the podium and the clasp broke. The metal fell to the ground. But then two other athletes. This new medal is like a two piece put together instead of like the one piece that we grew up on with like Carl Lewis and guys like that. And the second piece fell off one of the Olympic medalists and she posted it. So they're trying to recover the medals.
Dan Patrick
Can't blame this on fanatics, though.
Paulie
I cannot at this juncture.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, we were looking at those jerseys. Didn't we do that? Was that like NBA jerseys or. No, baseball jerseys. I'm like, what is this? And they just seem like those knockoff cheap jerseys. And turned out that they were knockoff but not cheap jerseys. And then the super bowl ones, I saw the Patriots and I went, that doesn't even. That doesn't feel the one I had with the Seahawks Was better. But I don't. If I'm paying that kind of money, like, I don't want something that's. Hey, we're going to iron on something. Yeah, Seaton.
Seaton
And it isn't even like. Yeah, like, just like the feel of them was off. It was like, well, why are the logos in different places?
Dan Patrick
That is true. The super bowl logo, right?
Seaton
The super bowl logo on this one.
Dan Patrick
Over here and on that one.
Seaton
It's over there. Like, shouldn't they be uniform? That's. It's a uniform.
Dan Patrick
Fritzy had some flight. Not issues, but certainly some flight stories coming back from San Francisco. You, of course, never fly direct. So there was a layover in Philadelphia.
Marvin
It was.
Todd
I went San Francisco, Philly, Philly to Hartford. But there was a couple of months where I thought there was some flirtation going on with a couple of flight attendants. And granted, it doesn't take much for me to start creating scenarios. Someone could say hi to me in an elevator. And I think, oh, my God. I mean, this is going to be the moment anyway. And I'm a happily married man. That being said, I'm getting out of the way of one of the flight attendants who's wheeling the cart and giving out drinks. And I'm actually waiting for the restroom. So I'm getting out of her way, and she kind of comes up next to me and says, some people call this flight dancing. Which was just an odd little moment we had there. And I said, which, I don't know, is that cheating? Do I got to tell my wife my line back to her was best thing that happened to me all day? And she smiled and continued wheeling the cards. I don't know if that was appropriate response, but I just got a little flustered that she would say that to me. This is. Some people call this flight dancing.
Dan Patrick
But that was the only flirtation.
Todd
No, that was San Francisco to Philly. And then two things happened from Philly to Hartford.
Dan Patrick
Two things.
Todd
I'm sitting in coach, like, row 14B. The curtain starts at row eight. So I'm six rows behind first class. And I'm eating my little smash burger, whatever I'm eating. And she comes in. She comes over me. And one of the flights, they asked me if I would like a drink. So I said sure. I thought she was gonna then proceed to bring out a car to something. Cause they were de icing the plane to make everybody happy when they give you out little snacks and drinks so people don't get all pissed off that the flight's delayed and she didn't ask anyone else for a drink, just me. I don't know if it's. Cause I was eating a hamburger and I had ketchup running down my face. Whatever was going on, she only offered me a drink. Then there was a blonde flight on that same flight with little braided hair. She comes over to me and says, save me a bite of like, the hamburger that I was. What is that about? And then when I got off the plane, she's like, you never saved me a piece of your hamburger. I'm like, what is that? Not a little bit of flirting? I want to, I don't know, help me out.
Dan Patrick
I would say, yeah, you know, you might, knowing you, how you like to read into things. Yeah. I could see where you're thinking that.
Todd
Not so much the drink, whatever. I could wink at that. You saw that I didn't have any drink with me and I was eating. But the other two things about, you know, you know, we're flight dancing or save me a bite and you didn't save me a bite. She remembered that for the hour and a half flight from Philly to Harford, I was like, wow. I got all excited. I was like, no, maybe there is a little. I am a little attractive still in my. In my old age with my belly and something looking like that. That's the heavy set guy that works out once a week and does bicep curls for three minutes.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, Paul.
Paulie
You know, my first thought before the stories commenced was that flight attendants are paid to be nice for customer satisfaction. When I hear those. That seems like some light midair flirting a little bit.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, Yeah. I would say that's above and beyond the call of duty.
Todd
I certainly wasn't gonna report her to, like, the airline or go to the pilot. You got a flight attendant here saying that we're flight dancing and she wants a bite of my hamburger. I was. I was very, you know, flustered and excited about that.
Dan Patrick
If you did that to her, it.
Todd
Would probably kick me off the plane. Some marshal would probably.
Dan Patrick
They'd be waiting for you.
Todd
I'd be in some room being interrogated. I may never get home from Philadelphia.
Dan Patrick
Yes.
Seaton
The best thing that happened to you all day was the woman saying, some people call this flight dancing.
Todd
That's the first thing that came to my mind because she had to smile.
Seaton
And she'd make it happen to you all day long. Was that.
Todd
I think it was. I know we had a really good show that day and everything with all kinds of guests, but, you know, we, you know, we're accustomed to, you know, doing big things with the show and super bowl week. But, you know, she goes out of her way with the cart and kind of leans on top of. Not on top next to me and said, I don't want to make this more than it was. But she kind of. She could have just gone right past me.
Seaton
She sat in my lap. At that point, she was sitting in my lap.
Todd
Some people call this flight dancing. And I said, best thing that happened to me all day. Then she smiled and, you know, now I feel like I got to, like, report this to the wife that I said that because.
Dan Patrick
Did you?
Todd
I did not. I'm sure she'll hear about this, and it'll be on social media. Okay.
Dan Patrick
But I'll be saying it. I can't give an opinion on this other than maybe a flight attendant could, you know, tell us if that's above and beyond the call of duty.
Todd
I want to know. My questions are, a, is that considered flirtation? Am I just reading into it? And B, was my response trying to be friendly with Was. Was my response inappropriate as a married man? Just to say, best thing that happened to me all day. I didn't give her my number. I didn't say, you know, I'll talk to you later, or, you know, when's your next flight out? Maybe, you know, we can hang out. It was just like, best thing that happened to me all day, and that's what came out of my mouth. And after I said that, I went back to my seat and felt guilty for, like, the rest of the flight.
Dan Patrick
That I said that, okay, if you were single, would you have asked her out?
Todd
I felt like there was something to her saying, like, this whole. You know, some people would call this flight dancing. What do you. That's something you Normally, a flight attendant would be trained to say. Someone's waiting to use the bathroom, and they're getting out of your way while they're giving out drinks with the cart.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, so.
Todd
And she was definitely pretty.
Dan Patrick
I think the one saying, hey, save me a bite. That was.
Todd
She was really cute.
Paulie
That's cutesy.
Dan Patrick
That. That's playful.
Todd
And then she doubled down when I got off the plane. When I disembarked on a ship, I de Planed whatever it was. And then she remembered that she said that to me, said, you never saved me a bite. I'm like, oh, my God. What's going on here? Blushing a little bit. And then I said, I'll get you next time, I promise. I don't know what episode.
Dan Patrick
Wow.
Todd
Like, there would be a next time.
Dan Patrick
What if she said, hey, I got a layover in Hartford?
Todd
I would. I would say, I'm at Brooklyn. Fritzi, I don't have time to write that any numbers right now, but you can find me now there was very. It was very flattering, and I wanted to share that with you guys. Not as a brag or anything. Just, like, what do you make of that? Is basically why I would say there's.
Dan Patrick
Some flirting going on there. Yeah, I would.
Todd
If I felt like a new man, I had this rebirth of, like, I'm not just the. You know, the chubby guy that works out once in a while, that's got two kids in their 20s, married 26 years. Like, you know, I was noticed by this flight attendant, which goes beyond what they're trained to do besides giving you pretzels and peanuts and a can of ginger ale.
Dan Patrick
I had a woman who fell asleep on me on the way home, and I. And then she woke up, and then she was. She felt bad, and I said, it's okay. She goes. And then she looked at my left hand. She goes, you're married? And I said, yes. Like, I didn't cause this. You fell asleep? And I said, it's okay. She goes, oh, I'm so embarrassed. I said, don't be. It's okay. And then she said, hey, you want to buy to my hamburger?
Todd
And then now it's going to the next level. Now it's awkward.
Dan Patrick
Save me a bite. Yes, Paulie.
Paulie
I flew quietly and spoke to nobody.
Todd
Spoke to absolutely nobody.
Dan Patrick
Yeah. And that was the best part of your day. The best part of your day. Let me see. Lillian in San Jose.
Caller
Yes. Can you hear me?
Dan Patrick
Yes.
Caller
Yes. You know, the super bowl was held in Santa Clara, but most of the events were in San Jose. And so the best part of the super bowl was when I was watching it, and then you could hear the flyover of the Jets.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Caller
And I think the people in San Jose, they were just excited just to have the super bowl there. I mean, you could go by the Levi Stadium and see all the, you know, the logos and everything. But I do want to make a comment on Lindsey the skier. I do believe that after that incident, and you have an older veteran skier that has had issues in the past. I think we should reevaluate how we allow Olympians to get into the Olympics that have had previous injuries and have wiped out before. And, you know, we do drug testing. I mean, Lindsay. Lindsay has had so many injuries, and she's had probably Titanium in her body and.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, but she's still qualified. Lillian, I, I have to wipe away what you did in previous Olympics. She qualified and because of that she deserved to be able to try to compete. I was just surprised that maybe there wasn't somebody who could take her place after the ACL injury and we even talked about it. You run the risk of more damage there. But thank you for the phone call. Justin in Florida. Good morning, Justin. What's on your mind?
Caller
Hey, Dan. Good morning. You have always been a against individual player betting. Chris got her up was plus 5,000 in the midday and then Hidecki got taunted twice. Was just wondering if you think that had anything to do with the fact that Chris got her up had such crazy odds midday and you know, individual gambling and sports, it's just we're continuing to see more and more issues.
Dan Patrick
Well, wait a minute. What did Goddard's odds have to do with the Decky?
Caller
Because he was playing Hidecki. You know, it was, it was the playoff. So he got. It was anything to throw off the decky would then put money in anyone that had got her up to win.
Dan Patrick
Oh, you mean the, the crowd going against him. Yes, the crowd. Well, okay, but Hadecki could have won this in regulation. He screwed up the last couple of holes. As far as when you get, you know, to a playoff, you know, all. I would say all bets are off, but maybe they're on. But thank you for the phone call, Justin. I don't like the individual, but that's golf. I mean, you got to, if you're allowing betting, it is individual, but. Yes. Can a crowd yell out things, can they disrupt? Yeah, they can. Look, this is just one big black hole when it comes to gambling. It's just a question of when these things are going to surface and how serious they are when they do. Angelo in Huntington Beach. Hi, Angelo.
Caller
Hey, Dan. How you doing today?
Dan Patrick
Good.
Caller
So I was calling because, I mean, I'm seeing it all over the Internet and then I'm also talking to my co workers about it, you know, and I'm, I'm hearing a lot of talk about how the Patriots had a super easy schedule to get into the super bowl and whatnot. You know, seven of their wins were by single position or single possession games. And I'm just curious what your take is on it.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, we've talked about their schedule. Their strength of schedule was one of the lowest in the NFL, if not the lowest. They didn't pick it. You can only play what. What's in front of You. I mean, it. It's not like a draw. NCAA basketball, where they go, we're going to make that team a two seed instead of a three seed or a one seed. Now you're picking what their path is going to be. The Patriots didn't pick this. They took advantage of this. Adam in New York. Hi, Adam.
Caller
Hey, good morning, Dan.
Dan Patrick
How are you? Good.
Caller
Can. I can't hear it. Can you hear me now?
Dan Patrick
I got you, Adam.
Caller
Okay. Yeah. I just want to comment. Last night and the commercials, I believe, was talking about it earlier. It used to be about 10 years ago, five years ago. It was something that we all look forward to and discuss the next day at the water cooler or whatnot. But last night, the commercials, it's like it was like two different kinds of commercials. Either number one, they were. They were showing some child and nostalgia, like the lace commercial and tugging at the heartstrings. And then the other kind were the commercials that these people just. These companies just trying way too hard to be funny. And I just think the commercials were just. They just were horrible last night. Just wanted to get your thoughts on it.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I just. I wasn't entertained by them. There wasn't, you know, ones where you start. You're talking about them after, you know, when they. When they come back to the football game, you're still talking about it or laughing about it or thinking about it. I just didn't. But I'm not the biggest guy when it comes to, hey, the halftime show and those commercials. I got a job to do, you know, and it's really concentrating on watching the game. The other stuff is on the periphery. Yes, it did.
Seaton
It felt like normal, everyday football commercials. There really wasn't anything special at all about any of them.
Dan Patrick
That's fair. Yep. Andres in Seattle.
Caller
Hey, how you doing, Dan?
Dan Patrick
Good.
Caller
First time, long time. 5, 6 and a slim 202. I just wanted to comment on congratulating DeMarcus Lawrence on leaving the trash can of the Cowboys to win a Super bowl with Seattle. And also if Micah Parsons regrets calling him a clown.
Dan Patrick
If Micah Parsons what?
Caller
If Micah Parsons regrets calling him a clown.
Dan Patrick
Oh, he's a Super bowl clown. Super bowl winning clown. Yet you don't real. I mean, it's the power of the Cowboys. When DeMarcus Lawrence is on the Cowboys. You knew DeMarcus Lawrence was on the Cowboys. It's one of those. When you're watching the game, you're like, oh, that's. Yeah, that's right. DeMarcus Lawrence like this kind of like George Pickens, he has that now. If he leaves the Cowboys, then all of a sudden it's. Now they're talking about maybe franchising him and then trading him. That's the latest with the Cowboys. Yes. Yes. Marvin.
Marvin
That beef between Micah and DeMarcus Lawrence stemmed from DeMarcus Lawrence doing a press conference as soon as he got to the Seattle Seahawks and said, I love being a Cowboy, but I'm never going to win the super bowl here. And so Michael Parsons responded by calling the clown. So that's where that stems from.
Dan Patrick
All right.
Marvin
And he was right.
Dan Patrick
He was telling the truth. Yeah. Yeah. Mark.
Marvin
I just felt. I was like, demarcus Lawrence is on the Seahawks.
Dan Patrick
I know. It was just weird, right? But that's what the Cowboys do to you.
Marvin
They go 7 and 9, and I'm like, demarcus Lawrence is everywhere.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Marvin
Win a Super Bowl. I know he was on the team.
Dan Patrick
Cowboys. It's kind of like espn. When you're at espn, it makes you really more powerful than you really are, as I. As I found out when I left espn. But when you're there, it's like, yeah, you work at the mothership, you get seen by all these people, and then all of a sudden you leave. You don't have those four letters there behind you, those powerful letters. All right, we'll take a break. Last call for phone calls. What we learn what's in store tomorrow, right after this. 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. I hope more quarterbacks and agents follow suit of what we saw with Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield, that there has to be a sweet spot where maybe it's around $35 million. Still pretty good living. Not everybody's $50 million that you go from being a rookie and then you put in your three or four years, then you get extended. But don't be afraid to hold on to the spot with your team so you don't price yourself out of there. And Sam Darnold came in at a really good price for Seattle. Baker Mayfield, a really good price for Tampa Bay, and they were able to play with a good team. Baker Mayfield with the playoff team. Sam wins the Super Bowl. Daniel Jones. It's going to be interesting to see what kind of money he wants because he might be pricing himself out of a situation and maybe he wants to stay with the Colts. What's going on with the Vikings, you know, they don't have a quarterback right now. Maybe they break in, bring in Kirk Cousins. Well, what's he going to come in at? Is it going to be a $35 million deal? I think it's really important to find. There's three different tiers of quarterbacks, rookies, that guy who might be on his third team, and then there's going to be the guy who's making 50 or 60 million dollars. And you got to have somebody who's going to be honest with you, and you got to be honest as well and say, this is where I want to be, need to be. And Sam Darnold won a Super bowl because of that. Mike Golick senior on the program tomorrow. Reggie Miller will stop by. By the way, Sam Darnold ran the table with all of his incentives. He made an extra $4 million during the postseason. Mike, in Oregon. Hey, Mike. What's on your mind?
Caller
Hey, Dan. I just wanted to say we're here in the heart of Seahawk country and what a weekend, man. But I have to say offense, defense, special teams. That wasn't it. It was Josh McDaniel and, man, this came out of nowhere. Dan, being a Seahawk fan since the beginning, we've been through everything, but this was a rebuild year. We were recovering from Geno and he was great, but he wasn't working. And suddenly we got this guy, Sam Dar from Minnesota. We're not paying attention to Sam Darnold. We're in NFC west. We're paying attention to that. So suddenly we got this 14 win quarterback.
Dan Patrick
Why?
Caller
And we go into it the same as everybody here. He goes four games, he wins, eight games, he wins. Yeah. Come on. It went up exponentially. And this wide, Dan is amazing. And it's. Josh McDaniel is a core. And I'm so happy, I can't explain. That's the best.
Dan Patrick
All right. Well, congratulations. Mike. I would like to remind you the local reaction to when you brought in Sam Darnold. Not exactly throwing a victory parade there in Seattle, but it worked out. Yes.
Seaton
Maybe people don't want me to say this, but Sam Donald didn't win the game. He just didn't lose it.
Dan Patrick
He got him to the game. I think you could. You could say that, sure.
Seaton
Yeah, absolutely. But it's not like he went out there and won the game for them. He was, you know, he was asked to manage the game, don't throw any interceptions, and give the ball to Kenneth Walker. And he did that very well.
Dan Patrick
Rob in San Diego. Hi, Rob. What's on your mind.
Caller
Hey, Dan, how you doing?
Dan Patrick
Good.
Caller
Hey, I need your help settling a debate that my neighbor and I are having. It's a pretty heated debate at this point. Yeah, it's this. This is gonna go for years on here depending on your guys answer here. But who had a worse QB performance? Was it Drake May from last night or Patrick Mahomes from last year? And I'm hoping recency bias doesn't sway it one way or the other. But I appreciate you guys. I would appreciate you guys weighing in. Thank you.
Dan Patrick
Well, why don't I just look at the numbers? Polly, can we look at the QBR rating for Drake May last night and Patrick Mahone?
Paulie
Sure.
Dan Patrick
Should be able to settle it simply. You know, I was thinking about the commercials last night. There was a lot of AI and there was crypto and then there was like a lay's potato chip that was really a sentimental commercial. And then there was the Goodwill Duncan that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Aniston and Tom Brady. Yeah, Paulie.
Paulie
So Drake May last night 27 to 43. I got him at 295. Two touchdowns, two picks, quarterback rating of 79.1. Last year in the Super Bowl Eagles won 40 to 22. Mahomes was 21 of 32, 257, three touchdowns, two picks, QB quarterback rating of 95.4.
Dan Patrick
Okay, a little better. Yeah. So he had a better game than Drake. Maybe that was easy to settle. Yeah.
Seaton
See, yeah, I mean I would, I would think that the guaranteed sure fire first ballot hall of Famer in his fifth super bowl would perform better than the year two quarterback going against the best defense.
Dan Patrick
Thomas indeed. I don't know. Thomas in Detroit. Hi, Thomas. What's on your mind?
Caller
Hey. DP6 3, firm 180 and member of the DDC. I just wanted to chime in on the Winsy Vaughn situation that when she crashed she hooked her arm on the gate, which is going to happen downhill. And she had a competitive training run time behind Breezy Johnson. And you'd be hard pressed to find a downhill skier who hasn't been injured at some point. So can't really disqualify them for that.
Dan Patrick
No, she earned the right to be there. Breezy ended up winning the gold. But I think that Lindsay was out there. Was, you know, at age 41 in that sport. That was very impressive. I just didn't know if the Achilles would have an impact on her. And the way she skied can. I mean, you got to be aggressive. You can't Kind of half ass. It's got to be all out. And I just wonder if mentally if that. That affects you or you're thinking it. Yeah. Paulie, great name.
Paulie
Breezy Johnson.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Paulie
For a skier.
Dan Patrick
Yeah. I always like Peekaboo Street.
Paulie
Oh, great.
Dan Patrick
She was teaching Snoop Dogg how to ski. Snoop's all over the place, though. Snoop. There it is. This day in sports history.
Paulie
Paulie, he said down hisl yesterday, which is right on cue for him. 1895 in Massachusetts. Volleyball was invented.
Seaton
How about that?
Dan Patrick
Okay.
Paulie
A hot bed of volume.
Dan Patrick
All right.
Paulie
And here's one. A player we love. 89, Kevin Johnson of the Suns. Hit a Free throw in 57 straight games. Rando, I know you like Kevin Johnson.
Todd
Yeah. Yeah.
Dan Patrick
Rick Barry made eight three pointers in 1980. Guys weren't taken eight three pointers. This is when he played with the Rockets. Rick Barry, underrated player. Led Golden State. Not single handedly, but he was the only real star on that team. Yes, Todd.
Todd
And he was shooting those threes underhand, which looked ridiculous.
Dan Patrick
He was not.
Todd
Threw one over the back.
Dan Patrick
He was not. He was not. Greg Popovich won his 1000th career game and that was 2015. Let's go around the room, see if we learned anything today. We didn't really get to this. Is there a memorable play from Sunday? Maybe We'll. We'll do that tomorrow. Todd, what'd you learn today?
Todd
Bill Cower, impressed with how Sam Darnold negated sacks by being elusive in the pocket.
Dan Patrick
Seaton, what'd you learn?
Seaton
Based on our poll results, the Seattle pass rush getting all the credit for last night's game.
Marvin
Marvin, you think jugglers are hot?
Paulie
Paul, Ross Tucker was not in London yesterday.
Dan Patrick
He was not.
Todd
Todd, Marvin wants to know, as we all do, why North Carolina fans in Chapel Hill felt the need to storm the court after beating Duke of the buzzer and punching coaches in the face.
Dan Patrick
Great to be back home. Thanks for joining us. Have a great day. We'll talk to you tomorrow. This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human.
This episode, hosted by Dan Patrick and the Danettes, mainly dives into post-Super Bowl analysis, focusing on Drake Maye’s struggles, Seattle’s suffocating defense, and broader themes surrounding the game. The crew also discusses memorable moments—from underwhelming commercials to humorous flying stories—and engages with callers on topics spanning football, the Winter Olympics, and even the nuances of air travel interactions.
"I was just surprised that Josh McDaniels, the most experienced offensive coordinator in Super Bowl history, wasn't changing things up... I never would have had him back there because they didn't have a deep threat..." (04:56)
Dan Patrick, on Maye’s struggles and play-calling:
“I was just surprised that Josh McDaniels…wasn't changing things up or I didn't from my vantage point, see that there was anything else going on. Run the football. It felt like they got away from the run pretty early, and now all of a sudden, Seattle was coming.” (04:56)
On Super Bowl Defensive Display:
“I thought it was an incredible defensive performance… Maybe not exciting, but impressive.” (05:46)
Paulie, on Maye's pressure:
“They hit Drake May 11 times. Seven different players on their defense hit Drake May.” (07:45)
Seaton:
“My worst of the weekend was actually the commercials... I really didn’t feel like this year got it at all.” (09:22)
Dan Patrick:
"It didn’t feel like there was that ‘Oh my God’... You’d be talking about that commercial today—because there wasn’t one." (10:01)
Todd:
“Some people call this flight dancing... best thing that happened to me all day.” (26:15, 29:00)
Dan Patrick (joking):
“If you did that to her, they’d probably kick you off the plane. Some marshal would probably... be waiting for you.” (28:44)
“Yeah, we've talked about their schedule. Their strength of schedule was one of the lowest in the NFL, if not the lowest. They didn't pick it. You can only play what's in front of you." (35:49)
“You got to have somebody who’s going to be honest with you, and you got to be honest as well and say, ‘this is where I want to be, need to be.’ And Sam Darnold won a Super Bowl because of that.”
This episode delivers an engaging, humorous, and insightful look at Super Bowl fallout, centering on Drake Maye’s rough outing and Seattle’s defensive triumph. The Danettes share peaks and valleys from the weekend both on and off the field, listeners chime in with opinions on pivotal plays, team fortunes, and commercial culture, and the crew fills the spaces with trademark warmth and wit.
