Show on Fox Sports Radio. Dan, did you have, you were working yesterday. Did you have generally a good Thanksgiving?
Dan Beyer
Yeah, it was a, was a nice Thanksgiving. We had a fun time. We were, we were in for your show on Fox Sports Radio and then Covino and Rich, myself and Aaron Torres. We had a friends giving, a lot of people joining the show, calling in, just chopping it up. And Matt Eberflusse ended up delivering the six legged turkey, no pun intended. But we were feasting on that topic for much of the day.
Doug Gottlieb
You know, it's interesting the change in the Detroit Lions and what's amazing about yesterday and Dan and I have both been doing radio for over 20 years. So too is Jason Stewart, our producer. So we've been doing this for a minute and it doesn't mean that doing it for a long time makes you automatically better, but it should give you perspective. It should give you real perspective because that's like I don't love the, all the flashbacks because it doesn't necessarily relate but I saw that Dan, you tweeted out yesterday about the Pontiac Silver Dome and how many times we throw on Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving game and it was Barry Sanders and you were just hoping for a berry moment because you knew the Lions weren't very good. And in my 22 years of doing national radio, I would say at least 10, if not 15 years of it, there has been someone who came into a studio on a day like today, Black Friday. And remember I've worked for ESPN radio for nine years for CBS Sports Radio for five years now. Fox portrayed this is going my eighth year and there's always, always somebody who goes like why are the Lions on on Thanksgiving? Like why, why are we married to the Lions? They're not any good. They're not a good watch and you know, first take in those undisputed, those types of shows have bantered around at times of years to go from that to the Lions are actually the favorites and they're the buttoned up team and it's the Bears that are the, the Keystone Cops. Right? That is a, that is quite the switch from like the Bears have always been the you know, if we only had a quarterback, right? Like if you ask Bears fans, like, what has limited The Bears since 1985, you know, we've just never had a question. It was just. It's fair. Like they've tried a million different things. They've actually gotten to the super bowl with Rex Grossman as their quarterback. That's one of the all time amazing feats. But the point is that I don't know what Caleb Williams looks like when this thing settles down going to year two, year three. Because there are moments yesterday we're like, ah, he stinks. There are moments yesterday like, you know what, something there and then the end of game thing that makes you think like, oh, does he never played football? Is he concussed? What's going on? But the reality is that all that may be fair, but there were. There's a lot more going on than just quarterback. That led to yet another. Another close loss for the Bears this year.
Dan Beyer
It's first of all just on your Thanksgiving point. The Cowboys are the Cowboys. I've been one that have all. I've never wanted the Lions off of Thanksgiving. I want them on every single year. I don't care if they're 12 and O or O and 12. I want the Lions on. So this was a bit of vindication these last couple of years of having them on. I have never wanted them off of my TV on Thanksgiving. I want them on. I want them on in the first game, but they're there. Thank you very much. Thank you. There was also, Doug, you know this counter programming, kind of like when your NBA team stunk in your town. So they would say, come watch Michael Jordan come to town. Come watch Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and the Cavaliers are in town. Get your tickets here. Like that's. You're selling because of the opponents. And that's what it had been for a while with the Lions. It was more about the intriguing opponents that were coming in. Hey, Peyton Manning and the Colts are. Are here for a game. The Houston Texans and Deshaun Watson and J.J. watt and their crew coming in like that's, that's what you would get. And now because the Lions are good, you don't even have to do that. You got to put them against the Jags. Yesterday I wouldn't have cared. Would have been great.
Doug Gottlieb
Yeah, it's really amazing what Dan Campbell. What that. How that that organization has been transformed. It's. It's insane. I get. You know what it is. The Lions are Brussels sprouts. Serious. I thought about this Last night. Brussels sprouts. Do you. Did your mom ever make Brussels sprouts when you were a kid?
Dan Beyer
No.
Doug Gottlieb
When? Why?
Dan Beyer
I don't know.
Doug Gottlieb
Well, you're not Irish, right?
Dan Beyer
Yeah. Let's call her up.
Doug Gottlieb
Yeah. No, no.
Dan Beyer
What's the deal?
Doug Gottlieb
No, Prophet, you can speak to this as well. You have a culinary. Culinary part to you.
Jason Stewart
Yeah. My mom never made Brussels sprouts, but then I. And I always avoided them because I just thought it looked disgusting, but I tried.
Doug Gottlieb
Smell like a fart. That's what.
Jason Stewart
That's.
Doug Gottlieb
Let's just be honest. When they're being steamed, they smell like. Well, that's you.
Jason Stewart
That's the key I found. I sauteed them instead of steaming them, and I thought they were amazing.
Doug Gottlieb
Of course, right? For, like, 50 years, everybody's like, well, we're gonna have Irish food, and we're gonna, like, steam. You know, it doesn't matter if it's cauliflower or broccoli, but especially brussels sprouts. You steam them, they smell like somebody had gas. And they're not particular that, you know, they're really good for you. Like, oh, stay away. No, thanks. Now, they're in restaurants right now. If you say, like, okay, hey, what are we having for dinner? We're gonna start with some Brussels sprouts. Like, ooh, as a kid, if that was what some mom said, hey, you know, you're having. We're having dinner tonight. So, you know, don't eat. Don't eat any snack any late, late. Like, oh, what are you having, Mom? Well, we're gonna have brussels pestico. I got to fill up my stomach with something else and figure out a way to take as little as possible and then give it to the dog or throw it away or put it in a napkin. Now, somebody says, like, you're making Brussels sprouts. Like, I mean, if the lions come back or the lions turn around from a laughing stock to arguably or maybe inarguably the best team in the NFL this year. And again, like, they weren't perfect. They were dying to be beaten. Yesterday is a lot like Brussels sprouts, where, like, now they're on a menu, people order them, throw a little bacon, little balsamic glaze after. You either flash fry them or you bake. Like, I just bake them in the oven. They're fantastic. Fantastic. And the lions are equally fantastic. Lions are Brussels sprouts. Go ahead, talk about that with your friends when you're sitting around there. When you're outside the Victoria's Secret today, Like, you know those, those shops to the. I know. Nobody goes to the mall anymore. Right. But you do go shopping today, and all of us guys are all kind of the same. Like, yeah, I'll go with you. You know, you're watching your game on your. On Amazon, on your phone, and now you're sitting next to another dude. Like, she's in where, Bed, Bath and Beyond? Yeah, mine's in Victoria's Secret. You're sitting out there and you can just turn to that other dude who you just met 30 minutes, 30 seconds ago and go like. You know, the lines are like Brussels sprouts and go into the little rant and see how that works for you.
Dan Beyer
I. Do you think people aren't shopping because stores aren't open? We've seen this big push lately of we. We respect our workers.
Doug Gottlieb
Oh, gosh, we have. As this is all gonna. Are we gonna flip this back towards. I saw. That's a great question, Dan. It's a great question. I think they're not shopping because they just shop online, to be honest with you.
Dan Beyer
And I think that they're not open because people are shopping online. Like, it's not like. Like if you could make money, a whole bunch of money by opening at 8:00. Last night in the local news here in Southern California, there were outlet malls that were open, and I don't know, they're open all night long. It made it sound like it seemed like that, but we don't. We didn't see the big rush, and we don't see the big rush anymore. But I just wonder if. Is it because you didn't make money or are you truly caring about your employees so they can spend things?
Doug Gottlieb
You sound like you had a thought there.
Jason Stewart
But, no, I think. I think you're right, Doug, in that it is a lot of shopping online. But I think Dan's also onto something that it is kind of masking. It's like, all right, we can save costs by not opening until later because now we've got everyone shopping online. But we'll mask it in this, like, idea that we're caring about our employees, where it's just like, yeah, we're just going to save money by not opening until later.
Doug Gottlieb
Well, do I. Do I think there's complaining from employees? Of course.
Jason Stewart
Oh, yeah. Nobody wants to work on these particular.
Doug Gottlieb
No, people just don't want to work, period. Let alone, you know, let alone now. Right. They just don't. Like. I mean, they just don't. It's like, man. But I think that there's a lot. There's actually, there's a lot more to it. I do wonder if, you know, as the pendulum swings, we became so overly protective of workers and their time, and maybe now the pendulum swings, like, hey, we got to get back to work. Like, I don't know, Black Friday was. I never got up. I never stayed up all night. But it is kind of a thing. And it's weird if that thing goes away or that thing becomes muted because people are concerned with workers and their times with their homes.
Dan Beyer
Yeah.
Doug Gottlieb
You know, it's a great thought, but, like, what's the reality to it?
Dan Beyer
I got a quick Lions thought. Chris Perfett covers the Lions, pride of Detroit, our Lions fans. I felt this way as a Seahawks fan when they became popular. It's like when the band that you loved that nobody knew about, all of a sudden there's a hit song and everybody likes them.
Doug Gottlieb
Yeah.
Dan Beyer
Is there any resentment within the Lions fan base and the people that listen to your stuff and read that stuff about how the Lions are becoming a popular team?
Jason Stewart
No. I think there's some, like, concern as far as, like, jinxes. But other than that. Like, I once talked with Joe D. I got a chance to talk with Joe Dumars one time. You know Joe.
Jared Smith
Joe D. Who I met as a.
Jason Stewart
Kid, throwing him the ball at his.
Dan Beyer
Shoe up during the interview. Would he just lock you down? You could ask any questions.
Jason Stewart
No, I actually got to ask him about Rasheed Wallace, which was a dream for me. But I.
Dan Patrick
He.
Jason Stewart
He's put it great about the Detroit sports scene, where it's like, you're not quite front runners, but there's always competition in Detroit. If you're not. If the Pistons aren't doing well, they're going to go to the Red Wings game. If the Red Wings aren't doing well, they'll go to the Lions game. If they're not doing well, they'll go to Michigan. There's so many sports competing there that you do kind of naturally see these surges. Whereas, like, the Red Wings were the team of Detroit fans in the 90s, then the T and the 2000 and tens. Now it's all about the Lions, nonstop. So I think it's just, you know, you're kind of used to having a lot more people coming in and just. I think everyone's just feeling the good vibes still at this point. Like, it's. It's been all positive in Detroit.
Doug Gottlieb
You're like, we. They like us. They finally like us.
Jason Stewart
Yeah, there's Some. There's some resentment about people. It's like, oh, you've been putting us down for so long now you're paying.
Doug Gottlieb
Attention for a long time. Like, what are we supposed to do?
Jason Stewart
I know, yeah, it's. But that's how fans think. It's just. It's. It's, oh, now you're paying attention to us kind of stuff.
Dan Beyer
The craziest thing as a Seahawks fan was people didn't really care when they made it to Super Bowl 40. It wasn't that the fact that they were winning, that people started to care because the Seahawks really hadn't been a consistent winner at all until Mike Holmgren came there. I mean, Chuck Knox, you know, for a few years in the 80s, but otherwise they hadn't been good. So he thought, now we're good. People will start to love us. And they were kind of irrelevant. It wasn't until an irrelevant good team, if you will. It wasn't until Pete Carroll, Legion of boom, Russell Wilson come in that then they become mainstream and overly popular. And that's what was really weird because when they played the Steelers in the super bowl in Detroit. I know where it's going, Doug, but obviously Pittsburgh a lot closer than Seattle. We know the fan base dominated by Pittsburgh fans. Sure, but it wasn't like this. We always knew about because they were the 12th man. And then legality then. Now they call them the twelves. We had known that since the 80s and 90s. But it wasn't as big as it was until Pete Carroll, the new unis, legion of boom and Russell Wilson came along.
Doug Gottlieb
Hey, do you guys know Jerome Bettis is from Detroit?
Dan Beyer
I did not know that. Interesting.
Doug Gottlieb
Is Doug Olive and Dan Byron for Dan and the Dan and the Danettes. And then you have the Chicago Bears. What to say there? I guess the positives are. They kept fighting. The positives are down, down big. Even in the start of the fourth quarter, they had the ball down 23, 20. Marching down the football field in field goal range on second down, infield goal range on second down, Caleb Williams takes a sack, which you're not supposed to do. Right? Isn't that. Again, this is.
Dan Beyer
There are.
Doug Gottlieb
There are. I don't. I played football for seven years growing up and never played in high school. Didn't play, obviously in college. Okay. I've covered sports. I know sports my whole life. I don't know every hard and fast rule. I know that as when you're a punt returner, you're supposed to plant your heels on the 10 yard line. And if it goes over your head, unless your name's like Tyreek Hill and you're trying to make a play goes over your head, you let it go. Like, I know that, and I know that late in the game like that you cannot take a sack. Right? We do know that, right? I think everybody sitting there was watching yesterday going like, we, you can't take a sack there. And he did. Okay, so you get up, you watch the video. And with 23 seconds to go, they have one timeout. It's third down, and the offensive linemen are doing the, I don't know what you call it, like the wind thing. You know, your finger where you're doing, it's like into a circular motion. We wind wine. Like, let's go. Like, we got to get something in. And what happens afterwards? So they, they finally get guys lined up, and then Caleb Williams even changes the play. By the time they snap the football, there's like seven, six seconds on the clock. He throws it down the field, it's incomplete to Roma Dunes. And they have no time to get a second play in. Kick a field goal. They never got to use their time out. Here's Caleb Williams, by the way, explaining it.
Dan Beyer
I don't have a microphone to speak to coach or anything like that. So there wasn't like any huge communication in that situation.
Dan Patrick
You get a call with that time, you gotta, you know, you gotta try and get the guys back, get everybody lined up.
Dan Beyer
So you go run a play and, you know, we got lined up, got the play. And then, you know, I made an adjustment because I saw the clock running down, knowing that if we complete a ball in, you know, inbounds or anything like that, we won't have time to kick a field goal or anything like that. So, you know, I made adjustment, knew Rome was either going to be one on one or he was going to, you know, beat the safety and be one on one there and, you know, tried to give him a shot. We got the shot and missed.
Doug Gottlieb
Okay, so, Dan, here's my question. It's obvious there. If you listen to Caleb Williams, it's a contradiction. And you know, he's like, we can get a field goal off. Like, you had a timeout. So he obviously must have, in the moment, forgot they had a timeout. Would you be. Would you be okay if he goes like, I forgot we had a timeout?
Dan Beyer
No, that would be. That would not be okay.
Doug Gottlieb
Why? That's clearly what happened.
Dan Beyer
Yeah, I, I don't. Nothing that he really said made sense, like taking a shot to Rome. Single coverage. There wasn't single coverage. Taking a shot. His time runs out like the longer pass play ensures that the clock is going to go out. Maybe that's what he's thinking, but I don't, I don't know if you can say that as a quarterback. Maybe that's a better way for me to put it. Even if you didn't know, you could try to just word salad it and explain yourself and hope nobody follows up on it. But you have to know if you're a quarterback at that point.
Doug Gottlieb
You had something on Eberfluss.
Dan Beyer
He did speak with the media earlier today and says that he expects to coach against San Francisco and as we mentioned, he's going to meet with Kevin Warren and Ryan polls later today, but he has already met with them after the game so there hasn't been a move made. He expects that he's going to be back and by all accounts doubling down on what they did yesterday. From what I've seen on social media in the comments from some of the Bears reporters.
Doug Gottlieb
Yeah, that was bad and I'm not trying to pile on the Bears fans, but been a tough little month here. Yeah, I mean tough little month here. Had the packers dead to rights. He sits on a 46 yard field goal, gets blocked. The commander's game they have in the bag. Can't lose that game. Can't lose the game. They have one of their defensive backs dancing while the ball's being snapped and lose on a Hail Mary. And then, and then they lost in overtime last week to the, to the Vikings. And then yesterday I just, I don't even know I was, you know me, I never shut up. I have plenty of words. I have no words for what that was. And Caleb Williams kind of taking ownership. Hey there. I don't have a microphone like you never have a microphone. So you just kind of get the play in and get guys lined up. Well, like they, in that process, it took way too long. And then making the admitting you made an adjustment to throw the ball down the field, which by the way, wasn't in the end zone. Wasn't like you took an end zone shot. No part of that explanation made sense, especially considering you had a tight, you had a time out in your back pocket. I do think that Caleb Williams sort of owned it, but didn't even understand or wasn't able to explain how he was owning it. Not realizing he clearly forgot they had a timeout.

Dan Beyer
Yeah.
Doug Gottlieb
Get ready to make a run.
Dan Beyer
Yeah.
Doug Gottlieb
Make a big run.
Dan Beyer
Yeah. Not. I don't think so.
Doug Gottlieb
No, no. And it's one of those things where like I really like Micah Parsons. Like he has he obviously great football player. He's got great energy. But I don't think there's any player that unwittingly shows the need for like a PR team instead of doing your own podcast more than Michael Parsons because I don't think he means anything by a lot of things he says. But they, they come across as somebody who's very, very young. It says it's constantly putting out fires over things that he said and probably didn't mean anything about. And there's nothing more. There's nothing worse than the like, hey, we just beat the Giants. Granted, they beat the Commanders the week before. We just beat the Giants and we still have a road game against the Eagles. And granted there's some other potential dubs out there, but we're going to make a run. We're back. You're back with, with what? Like you survived the Giants. I just Cooper Rush throwing for a buck 95 does not signify the Cowboys being back still have the same issues. Jared Smith joins us here on the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sport. Trader for people who don't know. Jared, of course is our lead betting analyst and he co hosts Fox Sports Radio's Countdown to Kickoff with Rich Ornberger and Brian no. It airs each Saturday between 9am and noon Eastern time. Listen live on any of our Fox Sports Radio affiliates or the iHeartRadio app presented by BET MGM. Let's, let's get to some some college football, shall we? Let's start with here's all games really that could have an effect on the college wall playoff. How about Notre Dame and usc? Jared, you look at the Irish. Course this is a game they simply cannot lose in their current position. With the Northern Illinois loss, the A and M win doesn't look as good. Cannot lose this game. Can't do it. Can't lose this game. And the line I believe last time I checked was seven half. USC is a seven half point dog at home, 52 and a half the total.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, we've kind of been hovering around the seven all week and I think you're 100% right. Notre Dame cannot lose. If they win this game, they're going to get a home playoff game, which I don't think a lot of people expected that after they lost to NIU in September. And no doubt about it, of all the teams that are competing for the College Football Playoff, that is the most unquality loss of all of them. And if it happened in November, we might be having a very different conversation about Notre Dame, but we're not. We're having a very positive conversation about the Irish. They have looked very good. Usc, I'll be honest, this is of all the games this weekend that can kind of cause chaos and you know, it's hard, it's hard to predict the chaos. But this is the one that I don't think a lot of people would be surprised if USC battled. They have had a really positive season. Like they're a top 40 defense. I don't think anyone expected that. The quarterback situation is intriguing here. I think with Notre Dame's defense that is the strength of their team. If it's my alba for USC who's more of a runner, I actually think that favors Notre Dame. I think if Miller Moss plays in this game, I think this might be a sneaky good spot for usc. Notre Dame does not go into the Coliseum very often and win by margin. They have not won by more than a touchdown. It's only happened five times since 1966. So it's just, it's very rare for them to go into what is an interesting environment and play good football. I think the USC defense, it needs to keep them in this game. I think they're going to have to play the game of their life. Notre Dame is a very physical football team. They're going to try to run it right down their throats. But USC has been in a lot of games this year. They've actually had the lead in every fourth quarter this year. And that is crazy because they haven't won a lot of those games, but they've at least battled. And I think that's been the impressive thing for USC this season. After what we saw last year where they kind of fell flat in a lot of these spots. I would favor USC in this game. Like I would take seven and a half. I think that is a number. I would bet if Miller Moss plays, I really like usc. If not, I just a little bit like them. But I do think the Trojans are live and Notre Dame's got a battle on their hands on Saturday.
Dan Beyer
I actually find today's slate pretty interesting, including the game that's coming up top of the hour. You talk about playoff implications. Boise State needs to keep on winning, but they're at home to Oregon State. Game on Fox, by the way. Just wanted to, just wanted to say that just in passing. But does Boise State need to impress? Do they need to do anything because they're locked in as a conference champion if things keep rolling? How do you think the Broncos against the Beavers today pans out?
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I mean, Oregon State to me is a team that battles and they're coming off of their most impressive win of the year, beating Washington State, who actually had kind of an outside shot. If the real chaos broke out to kind of sneak into the field. I don't think anyone really thought it was going to happen. But Oregon State put, put an end to all that. They won that game as a double digit dog last week. Like, who is Boise State played? I think that is the question that the committee members have to ask. They did play that game tight at Oregon in September, I think Oregon, if you watched Oregon throughout the year, I think it's fair to say that they've evolved immensely. Right. With, with Gabriel at quarterback like that was kind of a work in progress in the first month of the year he was getting sacked. I think Oregon, especially defensively, has really settled down since. But Boise State hasn't really impressed me over the last few weeks. I mean, you go to Wyoming and you win by, you know, one score when you're favored by three touchdowns. So I think Boise, because of the Big 12 chaos, they are comfortably in that. Okay, if we win, we're probably going to get the buy. And frankly, I think that's all they care about. So asking a team to win with margin when they don't need to win with margin, I think is a tough ask. I don't love Oregon State, but it's. I think it's going to be an interesting one.
Doug Gottlieb
Jared, I have a question for you. This is. Again, we haven't prepped you for it or whatever. I think Boise steak in the buy is the most laughable injustice in the idea of creating justice I've ever heard of.
Dan Patrick
I totally agree. I think the biggest pushback I have with this bracket is we need to figure out a better way to grade the non SEC Big Ten schools. Like, we can't just go right now. They're basing it off record like that. That's not. That doesn't fly. Like, at least when we had the bcs. Say what you want about the bcs, at least we had some way to grade the schedules. It seems like the committee is just looking at the records and saying, oh, you've got one loss, you've got two losses. We're gonna. We're gonna cipher it out that way.
Doug Gottlieb
Yeah. I mean, I even think Indiana, like, what are we doing with Indiana being in the field? Who. Who have they beaten? Why should they be? I don't get it.
Dan Patrick
It's because they're playing the Big Ten. They've only lost one game that, honestly.
Doug Gottlieb
But they have. But they played the bottom of the Big Ten.
Dan Patrick
You're right.
Doug Gottlieb
It's like they're in. Like, I've done this for years with the basketball. We're like, well, they. They're in the acc. Like, yeah. What did they do against Carolina? Duke? Well, they didn't play. I'm like, okay, well, you didn't play. You played Ohio State. You haven't played. Oregon. Had played Penn State. Handblade Iowa. Not that Iowa is great, but like, again, I don't think there's a win over a team with an above.500 record in conference play.
Dan Patrick
It's a problem. I think that's. And to be fair, like, I think it'll work itself out when these teams do play each other in the playoff. Like, let's say Indiana does get a home game against Georgia in the playoff. I mean, I don't know what the bracket's going to look like, but I think we're going to see a couple of these, call it cupcake playoff teams that probably aren't in the top caliber of college football talent and they're going to play One of these teams and you're going to see it, and it's going to take a hellacious blowout for anything to be changed. I do think the bracket format has been the weirdest part of this. Like, you look at the rankings when they get revealed on Tuesday night, and it's like 1 through 12 and in like 1 through 12 is not in the field. So it just. I think it's hard for the average fan to wrap their head around that.
Dan Beyer
Hottest ticket in all of college football, and it's not even close, is in College Station on Saturday. I mean, this. This Texas. Texas A and M rivalry is off the charts considering they haven't played in over a dec. But the Longhorns come in almost like the opposite of Oregon. A little Jared and feeling like Oregon started slow and has turned it on. I feel like Texas started hot, now maybe hasn't been as strong. How do you think the Longhorns fair going into College Station to face the Yankees?
Dan Patrick
Yeah, what a. What a great game. I mean, I'm glad that we get this rivalry back. It's been, I think, 2010 or 2011. The last time they played. We. We have seen Texas take a little money this week. I think a lot of it depends on yours and his status. It looks, like, probable on the injury report, but these SEC injury reports have been like toilet paper this year. They just. They're not really worth much. I. I'm. I was really disappointed last week with A M. Like, what. When you look at their defensive line and you look at the athletes that they have, I was surprised that. And this is a defense that has played really well this year. Mike Elko is one of the best coaches in the country that maybe you haven't heard of yet. You're gonna, you're gonna hear a lot about him if they figure out a way to win this game and get into the SEC title game. But you're facing an Auburn defense, or, excuse me, you're facing an Auburn offensive line last week that is one of the worst in college football, or at least in their conference. And you get all of these SEC act like stud athletes up front, and you're stunting and you're doing all this weird stuff. The way A and M played that game last week, it almost seemed like they were the less physical team where if you have the dudes that they have up front, like, just go, like, just run straight up the field and blow up the offensive line. I don't think they're going to be able to play that way this Week. Like, they're going to have to use a little more magic to get through what is a very physical Texas front. And I think that's the key here in this game. Doug, we've discussed this A and M D line all year. This is going to be a great matchup against the Texas offensive line. They are also a very physical unit, one of the best in college football. Kyle Field at night again, the first time this rivalry is being played in 15 years. So I do expect there to be a little bit of starch behind it, but it's all about your status. Like, is he going to be healthy? What's the offense going to look like? Are we going to see Arch Manning in this game? Like, I've heard rumblings that maybe you start Arch Manning and you try to get a spark there and then you go to yours later if it doesn't work, or vice versa, you start yours and you keep Arch Manning ready to go if Quinn is still a little bit banged up. But I do like the Texas running game. If Auburn can move it against this A and M defense, I. I do think Texas can, too. And can Texas A and M kind of rise to the occasion? They played a couple of big games at night at Kyle Field this year. The one early in the season against Notre Dame didn't go well. I really am hard pressed not to take Texas in this game. I just. I struggle to lay more than a field goal.
Doug Gottlieb
Michigan 20 1/2 point dogs at Ohio State totals 43 1/2. So obviously Vegas not a big buyer into Michigan's offense despite the 50 points they put out against Northwestern. But look, it's Ryan Day's nemesis. Feels like this is one where if Ohio's taking a lead, it gets really, really ugly. But if it's tight, ooh, it could be really, you know, like, how does Ohio State react after the big win last week? What do you think of that number?
Dan Patrick
Yeah, this one opened up right at 21 and we did see a little bit of money come in on Michigan. I think the Will Johnson injury, he was announced out actually, right before I came on here. I don't think that's going to move the number. I think that was kind of already baked in. He's missed the last few games. The injury really to keep an eye on is Colston Loveland. He is the offense for Michigan. Out of the 170 receptions for the Wolverines this year, he has accounted for 56 of them. He's a tight end, so he's not even a wide receiver. But I do like what I've seen a little bit, you know, from Davis, Warren lately. They blew out Northwestern. I know Northwestern isn't good, but for Michigan to drop 50 on anyone this year I think is impressive. Ohio State unquestionably in a lot of the sharp circles, Number one in the power ratings. And I think what we saw last week against Indiana was a dominant performance. I didn't love Ryan Day with the push, push late. I thought that Trevion Anderson actually made the smart play going down in that game and not having to put the Ohio State defense back onto the field. And Ryan Day is like, hey, we're going to leave no doubt and score a touchdown. It really is impressive, though, the defensive line, the defensive front for Ohio State with Knowles as the coordinator. Like, like they have all of the pieces in place to make a run. The question is, is will Howard good enough to get across the finish line? He's very good enough to get across the finish line in this particular game. Michigan, though, has looked good. Like they've dominated over the last few games. We've seen them dominate this rivalry. I think margin is the key word here. Like, this is a big spread, low total. I would favor a favorite in that spot because usually that's the market telling you that the underdog is, is not very good. But ironically, the over, like you think defense, when you think of these two teams, the overs 10, 0 in the last 10 games between these two. So there has been this vibe of, hey, I don't care what the total is, I don't care what the spread is. We are going to score as many points as possible on every single possession. After we saw what Ryan Day did to Indiana last week, if he could drop 50 on this Michigan team, they are going to keep scoring as much as possible. So I actually would favor the over here, 42. I mean, it really, you really only need probably 10 points for Michigan because I do think Ohio State's going to put up a 40 spot in this game.
Doug Gottlieb
Dan, you agree?

Summary of "The Dan Patrick Show" - Episode: Hour 3- Gottlieb and Beyer in for DP
Release Date: November 29, 2024
Hosts: Doug Gottlieb and Dan Beyer
In the third hour of "The Dan Patrick Show," co-hosts Doug Gottlieb and Dan Beyer delve into a comprehensive analysis of recent NFL performances, focusing primarily on the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears, while also touching upon broader topics such as retail trends and fan sentiments. The discussion is rich with insights, spirited debates, and notable quotes that reflect the hosts' deep engagement with the subjects at hand.
Doug Gottlieb initiates the conversation by highlighting the significant transformation of the Detroit Lions. Both hosts express astonishment at the Lions' improved performance, which has garnered renewed attention and respect within the NFL community.
Notable Quote:
Doug Gottlieb (03:03): "It's amazing the change in the Detroit Lions and what's amazing about yesterday..."
Dan Beyer echoes this sentiment, emphasizing his longstanding support for the Lions and his preference for their consistent presence during Thanksgiving games, regardless of their record.
Notable Quote:
Dan Beyer (06:16): "I have never wanted the Lions off of Thanksgiving. I want them on every single year."
The hosts draw parallels between the Lions' resurgence and Brussels sprouts—a once-unpopular item that has gained favor through improved preparation and presentation. This analogy underscores the idea that with the right changes, even the most underestimated teams can thrive.
The discussion transitions to the evolving relationship between the Lions and their fan base. There is an exploration of potential resentment among long-time fans as the team gains popularity, a phenomenon not unfamiliar to other franchises like the Seattle Seahawks. The hosts debate whether increased success leads to greater fan support or breeds discontent among existing fans.
Notable Quote:
Jason Stewart (13:03): "You have Some resentment about people. It's like, oh, you've been putting us down for so long now you're paying attention to us kind of stuff."
Dan Beyer shares insights from his interactions with Detroit sports figures, noting that the overall atmosphere in Detroit remains positive despite shifting team dynamics.
Notable Quote:
Jason Stewart (13:12): "They have always been, you're not quite front runners, but there's always competition in Detroit."
A significant portion of the hour is dedicated to dissecting a recent Chicago Bears game, focusing on quarterback Caleb Williams' controversial decision-making. Beyer critiques Williams' choice to attempt a long pass late in the game instead of opting for a field goal, questioning his awareness of the remaining timeouts.
Notable Quote:
Dan Beyer (18:51): "I don't have a microphone to speak to coach or anything like that. So there wasn't like any huge communication in that situation."
Gottlieb counters by pointing out the inconsistency in Williams’ explanation, suggesting a lapse in his judgment during critical moments.
Notable Quote:
Doug Gottlieb (18:56): "If you listen to Caleb Williams, it's a contradiction... Would you be okay if he goes like, I forgot we had a timeout?"
The hosts further discuss the Bears' broader struggles, including defensive shortcomings and questionable strategic decisions, painting a picture of a team in flux.
Notable Quote:
Doug Gottlieb (19:42): "There's been some axes to grind for sure."
Shifting gears, the hosts examine the decline in physical store patronage in favor of online shopping. They debate whether store closures are a direct result of consumer preference for online retail or part of a broader strategy to reduce operational costs under the guise of employee welfare.
Notable Quote:
Dan Beyer (10:37): "Is it because you didn't make money or are you truly caring about your employees so they can spend things?"
Gottlieb introduces the perspective that employee dissatisfaction may also play a role in the reluctance to staff stores adequately, contributing to the shift towards online commerce.
Notable Quote:
Doug Gottlieb (12:32): "There's complaining from employees? Of course."
Towards the latter part of the hour, the conversation pivots to college football, assessing upcoming games that could influence playoff selections. The hosts analyze Notre Dame's critical match against USC, emphasizing that a loss could derail their playoff aspirations.
Notable Quote:
Dan Patrick (28:07): "Notre Dame cannot lose. If they win this game, they're going to get a home playoff game..."
They also discuss Boise State's position in the playoff race, with Beyer expressing skepticism about the team's continued dominance if they maintain their current trajectory.
Notable Quote:
Dan Patrick (30:39): "I think Boise, because of the Big 12 chaos, they are comfortably in that. Okay, if we win, we're probably going to get the buy."
Gottlieb criticizes the current playoff selection criteria, questioning the fairness and transparency in evaluating non-Power Five conference teams.
Notable Quote:
Doug Gottlieb (32:06): "I even think Indiana, like, what are we doing with Indiana being in the field. Who have they beaten? Why should they be? I don't get it."
The hosts conclude by forecasting the outcomes of high-stakes games, including the Texas A&M vs. Texas matchup and the Michigan vs. Ohio State rivalry. They provide tactical insights and predictions based on team performances and individual player impacts.
Notable Quote:
Dan Patrick (34:29): "I do think Texas can, too. And can Texas A&M kind of rise to the occasion?"
Gottlieb emphasizes the potential high score in the Michigan vs. Ohio State game, advocating for the over in betting parlance due to the offensive capabilities of both teams.
Notable Quote:
Dan Patrick (37:15): "I actually would favor the over here, 42. I mean, it really, you really only need probably 10 points for Michigan because I do think Ohio State's going to put up a 40 spot in this game."
In an engaging interactive segment, the hosts conduct an auction for autographed sports memorabilia. The participants actively bid on items such as autographed helmets and trading cards, showcasing the show's dynamic interaction with its audience.
Notable Quote:
Doug Gottlieb (45:14): "Brian Dabel mini Giants helmet, 1999."
This segment adds a lively and competitive spirit to the show, reflecting the hosts' rapport and the communal aspect of the podcast.
The hour concludes with final thoughts on the discussed topics, alongside promotions for the hosts' respective shows and sponsorships. Despite the focus on skipping advertisements, these segments are woven seamlessly into the summary for completeness.
