You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. This just in. The tush push has been pushed back to May. They have tabled it. There will be no vote today or they didn't have the requisite votes that they wanted to. And now it will be tabled until May. So the tush push is still alive, barely. UConn in Texas advance in the women's final four. Big night for Torpedo bats last night, especially La Dela Cruz. The NFL competition committee voting on rule changes. They are going to have the touchback start at the 35 yard line on kickoffs instead of the 30. They're trying to encourage more kickoff returns. 877-3DP Show Email Address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter Handle At DP show we say good morning those watching on Peacock and our great radio affiliates around the country. Over 400 cities carrying this program. More phone calls. 8773 DP show operator Tyler sitting by Seaton poll question. And then we'll get to Jeff Passon of espn. Yeah, we got one here. Prediction today, brotherly shove will be made legal or illegal. That's holding at about 55% saying it'll be made illegal. Okay, today. It's now tabled. So what's the kind of weak poll question for the final? Well, they weren't going to. You go into those situations if you're the commissioner, you want to know what the result's going to be before you walk into it. And he probably realized he was not going to get the support that probably he needed to get rid of the tush push, in my opinion. Todd's got one here that says Torpedo bats will be used more and more, become a common thing or banned in the not too distant future. We're going basically with a legal, illegal set of poll questions today. Let's bring in Jeff Pass into the mothership. How did we get here, Jeff, where Torpedo bats are all of a sudden all the rage. When, when was the first Torpedo bat used in Major League baseball?
- [04:55]
Jeff Passan
In the 2024 season? I believe it was Giancarlo Stanton. And you know when he had that October that he had last year to have seven home runs, 14 games and like I feel like a clown, honestly, that I didn't notice it, because it's such a different implement, right. Like you see it, especially with Jazz Chisholm, it just looks different. And clearly it's hitting different for some of these Yankees players and 15 home runs over the first three games. It's, I mean, it was quite the showing by that team.
- [05:36]
Dan Patrick
What is the approval process for something like this? That using this bat and then getting Major League Baseball to sign off on it?
- [05:45]
Jeff Passan
It's actually a lot simpler than you would think. There are 41 manufacturing companies that are allowed by Major League Baseball's approval process to make bats. And as long as you have bats within specific specs, it can't be longer than 42 inches. The barrel can't be bigger than 2.61 inches in diameter. The handle has to be, I think 0.86 inches. As long as it's within those parameters, and it remains a smooth cylinder, you can kind of distribute the weight however you want. And honestly, I'm surprised that it took this long for it to happen because the logic behind it that Aaron Leonard, who's now a coach with the Miami Marlins and was with the Yankees at the time and is an MIT educated physics professor, like the logic that he had. It's kind of simple. Imagine a bat as something where you have a wood budget, right? You have a specific amount of weight and mass to distribute over this implement. How do you want to spend your budget? Where do you want to put the majority of the wood or the majority of the mass? It kind of makes sense to put it where you strike the ball most frequently. And that's about 6 or 7 inches down from the end of the bat. And you know, it's like, this is such a baseball thing because we're caught up in the idea of what the game is supposed to look like. And yet we're in an era where teams are looking for every tiny, minuscule marginal advantage imaginable because they understand that that 1% might be the difference between them winning a game and not winning a game. And so for them to do this, it was really just a matter of time. And more than that, this reminds me a lot of back when Rays started using the opener, right? Like any other organization, you would have tried to do that with the pitchers. What, we're going to start a relief pitcher? What's, what's the point of this? Like, you need buy in. And that's where Aaron Leonard started this whole process. He went to players and he said, okay, how do we counteract the incredible pitching that exists in baseball right now? Like what can we do? What would you like? And the players all got back to him and they said the same thing. We would like, like a bigger sweet spot. And so that's what they did. They went out and they made a better mousetrap.
- [08:20]
Dan Patrick
Okay, but it's available for everybody, correct?
- [08:23]
Jeff Passan
Totally, absolutely. It's. I mean, we saw it with Ellie Bella Cruz last night. You know, I had talked with a couple of bat manufacturers yesterday. Like, they've been preparing for this. Like, they went around during spring training this year, and there was a whole lot more intrigue among players beyond just the Yankees, to the point, you know, all of them, all of the major ones at least, have the ability to now turn a bat like this on their legs. And so this is going to answer the poll question. This is going to be common, and this is going to be something that is the new normal in baseball. Now, is everyone going to use it? No, of course not. Because bats are all about feel. And if a guy orders a torpedo bat and he's all in on it and then he goes over six, you know, he might say, I'm going to throw this into the wood pile, burn it. I don't ever want to see it again. But guys who are finding success this early, they're going to lean into it. And I think. I'm not going to say this is directly attributable to the torpedo bat, but it would not surprise me to see an increase in offense and baseball this year on account of better equipment.
- [09:31]
Dan Patrick
And baseball can't, you know, have a problem with that if there's more.
- [09:36]
Jeff Passan
No, no, it's. It's just. It's always a matter of balance. Right. Like, we've seen this in sports in the past, you know, when Stan Makita curves his stick back in the 1960s and Bobby hall was using a curved stick as well. The NHL had to put rules into place on curvature because too much imbalance the game. When we saw swimmers wearing those full body suits in the Olympics and they were breaking world records all over the place, it's like, okay, is this. Is this where we want our sport to go? To a place where technology is not just taking over, but taking it to an area that we never imagined and that throws off that natural balance. So baseball is always monitoring that sort of thing. But considering where offense stand has gone in recent years, yeah, they can use an injection of it because pitching is so damn good these days.
- [10:29]
Dan Patrick
Talking to Jeff Passon, ESPN Senior Baseball Insider, speaking of pitching, I was wondering. I'm always of, I guess the awareness of things will come back around, like rushing attempts in the NFL, like the running back would come back, and we saw that last year. I'm wondering if there's going to be a comeback for a starting pitcher, but he's not starting a game. Let's say I, I start a game with relievers, but I get to the fourth inning and now I bring in a guy who's built for the rest of the game. Because some pitchers, like Mariana Rivera, was not a starting pitcher, but he became the greatest closer of all time. Certain guys are really good at closing other guys. You know, Kurt Schilling wasn't a good closer, became a great starter. So I wonder, could you see somebody who still keeps alive the workhorse pitcher in baseball?
- [11:24]
Jeff Passan
I think here's the flaw of that specific argument. I do believe, to be clear, that there is room for a workhorse starting pitcher still. I think it's going to take an organization that has a risk profile that trends more toward risky because pitchers get hurt. That's the thing. But the issue I have with bringing a guy in in the fourth inning is that by the time he's the eighth or ninth, he's going to be going the third time through the order, right? And the beauty of relief pitching is that it's a new look that, that you haven't gotten the chance to see this guy and it's brand new stuff. And you don't know what's humming that day and you don't know what might be a mediocre pitch that day. Like it's a fresh start. Whereas if you have that starter in in the fourth and you know the starter in the fourth inning and bring him in by the end, he's going to be more tired. Generally, you know, unless you're like prime Justin Verlander, the crispness of your pitches are not quite the same in the latter innings as they were in the former.
- [12:28]
Dan Patrick
So.
- [12:28]
Jeff Passan
And especially because those eighth and ninth innings are the highest leverage spots in the game, like every run matters, right? A run in the first is equivalent to a run in the ninth. But when those 27 outs start ticking down to 24 and 21 and 18 and down to, you know, nine and six and three, there's more value in that. There's more opportunity to win the game at that point. And that's when you want your freshest arms as opposed to guys who have been grinding through for 100 pitches.
- [12:57]
Dan Patrick
What do we call the A's?
- [13:00]
Jeff Passan
I mean, I'm happy to call them the West Sacramento A'S like, I know they don't want that, but we tend to have this thing in American sports where you have the city and then the nickname and not having one of those things, even with, like, the Redskins turning into the Washington football team, like, there's something after the city. So not acknowledging or recognizing the city outside of a patch on your shoulder, it's Bush. But, you know, that's kind of how the A's operate. It's a Bush organization. And they, you know, they're squatting in a minor league ballpark for three years right now. And it's super weird. And that is the expected consequence of 20 years of failure to build a stadium where, frankly, they should have and where a stadium was warranted. But John Fisher wanted to go to Vegas. And I, like, I get it, there's money to be made there. There's a stadium to be built there. But it's going to be a weird interim period.
- [14:05]
Dan Patrick
In the meantime, I hope they get to host a playoff game.
- [14:08]
Jeff Passan
Me, too. I am with you on that. Did you see the media tent?
- [14:13]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Look good. Look very accommodating. We're calling them the Triple A's, so.
- [14:18]
Jeff Passan
Oh, I like that. But they're better than that. That's like, they're going to be a decent team this year.
- [14:23]
Dan Patrick
Here's a stat for you before I let you go. In 1995, Tony Gwynn had 585 plate appearances. He struck out 15 times. Yeah. In 2025, Raphael has struck out 15 times in 19 at bats.
- [14:39]
Jeff Passan
Yeah, I could, you know, I, I love those numbers. I also think that comparing anyone to Tony Gwyn is badly unfair because that guy, he was. He was one of a kind. And I, you know, I, I love modern baseball. I would love to drop Tony Gwynn into 2025 to see what he would look like. Like, would he have it all embraced, the notion of launch angle and of exit velocity? Or would he just be like Luis, perfectly happy to go around and just bat 320 every year?
- [15:14]
Dan Patrick
I think Gwen would probably bat 320. But he would hit 30 home runs. Yeah, I think he hit 20 home runs. And I mean, this is a guy who stole 50 bases in a season. I think he hit 20 home runs. I remember Wade Boggs telling me, if they want me to hit, if they wanted me to hit home runs, I would hit home runs. But there's no better guy in taking a ball to left field than Wade Boggs was. And that's what he was paid to do.
- [15:38]
Jeff Passan
And that's this. This goes full circle then with the Torpedo bats. Because the thing is, when you redistribute the wood down to the sweet spot, that means there's less wood in other areas of the bat that do, like, make contact with the ball. Right. And so this is players saying that I am going to deprioritize contact for hard contact. I'm going to give up some of those balls that are just a little bit off the sweet sp in order for the other ones to be doubles and triples in home runs. And it's a very simple reason, because slug pays. And if you can hit the ball for power and have a high slugging percentage, you are going to get paid in arbitration, you are going to get paid in free agency. You are going to end your career in a much better position financially than somebody who goes out and hits.320 with a low sluggish percentage.
- [16:35]
Dan Patrick
Great to talk to you as always. Thank you, Jeff.
- [16:38]
Jeff Passan
Pleasure is mine, Dan. And the lime green.
- [16:41]
Dan Patrick
My God, thank you, thank you, thank you. I think you're saying that's. That's great is, by God, lime green. Is that a compliment? Jeff Passon of the Mothership noteworthy. Yeah. Once again, this was my gift for being in the Adam Sandler Movie Happy Gilmore 2. Not a lot of people have those. No, they don't. Just saying, no, they don't. But Sandman gave this to me. I think it's double X. Like, if this is. This might be Sandler's.
- [17:12]
Jeff Passan
I was gonna say game worn.
- [17:13]
Dan Patrick
No, it could be movie worn, but I remember he had one on the set. And I go, oh, I like that. He goes, danny, you're getting one. I said, oh, okay. I'm getting updates, though, on Happy Gilmore. And he just said. He said, Danny, H.G. strong. That was the text last night after I saw him playing basketball, you know, on, you know, pickup game in New York City. Yes.
- [17:42]
Jeff Passan
Paulie, I'm seeing reports of a July 25th.
- [17:45]
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
- [17:46]
Jeff Passan
Release date.
- [17:46]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah. There was. Somebody had misinformation and it was going to be like, March. I go, it's not March. They won't get it done by then. And because I was doing my part, what, in December or something like that, I said that that's not happening. And it's, you know, you want it around the 4th of July. You want it to be a summer blockbuster. Yes, Marvin. Yeah. So when are we going to the premiere? Probably the 25th. If. If they have a New York and LA premiere. And I'll see what I can do maybe pull some strings there, see if I can get you guys in. If not, then you guys can go to the premiere and then I'll go into the premier and then I'll come out when I'm done and then see you guys. So we got to be next to Kevin Frazier. Dan, Dan, Dan. Yeah, like you don't know us. That would be great if you guys were credentialed and you guys were interviewing people. You're. You're on the red carpet, Todd. Interviewing people on the red carpet. How long did it take to get in here?
- [18:43]
Jeff Passan
What's the transit schedule?
- [18:44]
Dan Patrick
You took the train. Yeah. It's funny how none of the guys would get interviewed on the red carpet by Todd.
- [18:51]
Jeff Passan
I have a tendency to lean towards.

Recapping some of the items from the NFL owners meetings. The Tush push will be tabled till May, and then they'll try to bring it back to life again, see if they get the requisite votes to be able to maybe get rid of it. That's the feeling that I get. Also, there's going to be three games on Christmas Day, two on Netflix, one on Amazon Prime. The kickoff touchback will now go from the 30 to the 35 yard line as they try to encourage more kickoff returns. Those are just some of the headlines there. Also, overtime, both teams will get the ball. Remember, it was sudden death overtime and then it became overtime. It's like instant replay became replay because it wasn't instant and now it's not sudden death over time. It's we'll get around to it over time. But both teams now get the ball in overtime and I guess if your team is trailing with an onside kick, they were looking at voting on that as well. Onside kick is one of my favorite plays in all the sports. It's rarely successful, but it gives you hope and you've taken hope out of the game late in the game. And I hate that. I know. It's all about player safety, player safety, player safety. It's also about entertainment, too. Damn it. Where's my entertainment? Yes. Especially the surprise on Sidekick. Yeah, that's when it's really like. Even when you see it coming a mile away and you're like, hey, they get this back, they might be in onto something, it's still great. But then all of a sudden when there's that random surprise one, that's great. Yeah, I agree. All right, so that's the NFL owners meetings, but I guess they have other things to decide. Discussion. And then you'll get all of these people together and then you start to talk about Aaron Rodgers to the Steelers. There's video out there. Rogers playing catch, I guess, with DK Metcalf. How does that work? This Rogers go, hey, you want to catch? You go to a local park and you go, I'll be damn. DK Metcalf where he's going. Hey, I'm just going to run some sprints. Hey, there's Aaron Rodgers. Hey, Aaron, want to throw me some passes? Happened to be at least one camera there. Yes.
- [27:28]
Jeff Passan
Todd, is it rude for DK to.
- [27:29]
Dan Patrick
Say, hey, when you sign with the Steelers and prove that you want to play with us, I'll have a catch with you? Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm here to meet Mason Rudolph. Not you, Aaron. Okay, you sign with us and then we can play catch. Let me see. Daniel in California. Hi, Daniel. What's on your mind today?

Jeff Passan
Hey, good morning, Dan.
- [27:49]
Dan Patrick
Thanks for taking my call. Sure. I heard you guys talking a little tennis earlier. And being the tennis fan that I am, I. This is an opportunity to pose a question to the sports historians that are Dan and the Danette. So you can certainly make the case. The three greatest tennis players of all time, or three out of the four Mount Rushmore tennis players, all played in.
- [28:07]
Jeff Passan
The same era at the peak of.
- [28:08]
Dan Patrick
Their abilities in Fed, Niddall and Joker, each holding at least 20 Grand Slams, with Sampras coming in next with only 14. My question is still impressive. 14. My question is, can you think of any other sport in which three of the four Mount Rushmore players and their respective sport, whoever you think they may be played during the same time? You could probably look at basketball with Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain, but people, you know, they don't include Wilt in the conversation as among the greatest players of all time. They just don't. He's one of those, oh, yeah, Wilt. But his numbers are Babe Ruthian. But we do acknowledge Babe Ruth stats, but we don't really acknowledge Wilt Chamberlain stats. They're too preposterous. You're like, wait, you had 55 rebounds in a game. Come on, you scored a hundred. Come on, we didn't do that with Babe Ruth. It's like, yeah, he had 60 home runs. Yes, Marvin, in the NBA, I think championships mean more to somebody's greatness than anything else. How many home. I mean, you know, how many World Series does Willie Mays have? I don't know. Or Babe Ruth or Mickey Mantle? I don't know. But you know the numbers. And I think numbers, especially from yesteryear.
- [29:29]
Jeff Passan
Was way more important in baseball when.
- [29:31]
Dan Patrick
Determining who's the best player. But why is it we don't look at baseball and count your championships, but in. In basketball we do, and football at the quarterbacking position we do. So there's certain sports, certain players or positions that we look at differently, and is that fair to everybody else? Like Barry Bonds didn't win. Hank Aaron won one World Series. I mean, Willie Mays didn't win. What did he have one or two World Series titles, But then yet the Yankees winning everything, does that mean they were better players or they on better teams? The Celtics, those guys all won championships. I mean, if. If you didn't have four or five, you're like, like, left out of the party here. Now, you'd kill to have four or five times. I mean, here's LeBron with four, and he's amongst the greatest players of all time. So once again, we pick and choose how we use the errors with the arguments there. But you could make a case at some point that Oscar, Jerry, Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain were the best players of all time. And then of course, you had Larry and you had Magic and then you had Mike, and then that all of a sudden changed everything there. But there was a point in time. But yes, the caller is right about tennis, that those three, you know, Rod Laver is still, to me, among the greatest players of all time. He could do it on any surface and, you know, just health and conditioning and everything that's gone on with these. But these three tennis players, that's incredible because I thought Pete Sampras was the greatest I ever saw. And then all of a sudden when Pete told me about Roger Federer and I said, what do you think about Roger Federer? He said, I don't even think of doing the shots that he does and is successful. That told me everything I needed to know about Federer. Here's Pete saying, I, I, you know, I can't even come up with the thought of trying to pull that off. And he does, and that separates him. Yeah, Paulie, going back to the caller.
- [31:43]
Jeff Passan
With all time greats at the same time, it's not exactly, but Joe Montana, Dan Marino and John Elway entering the league in the early 80s kind of at the same time. Two in the same draft was like, those are three of the greatest resume. I know Dan Marino's not there, but if you talk about great quarterback play, those three are up there at all times.
- [32:02]
Dan Patrick
Well, Dan Marino is. And I don't, I'll be careful when I say this, but he changed the game the way Steph Curry has changed the game. Like he changed the quarterbacking position. 5 wide, shotgun, quick release. Nobody was doing what he was doing. Dan Marino was way ahead of his time. And I, you know, he didn't have the team success. You know, they got blown out in his one super bowl visit. But if you, he would be one of those guys where you talk to other quarterbacks and you say, man, I wanted to be like him. I mean, Montana was wonderful and far and all the great guys, you know, but Dan Marino changed the game because it didn't look like that. And then Danny just spread everything out and was going to pick you apart. And they weren't throwing these little short passes. He Had Duper and Clayton, not more. It wasn't necessarily using the running back out of the backfield. He was. He was taking shots down the field. Yes. Mark, Dan Marino's record of 48 touchdowns, it stood until 2007. You know, crazy that sounds. You threw 48 touchdowns and 5,000 yards in 1984, where it was three yards in a cloud of dust. But he made it look easy. Yeah, he did. I don't know what the second place, you know, maybe Warren Moon. What was his touchdown total that year that Marino had 48 touchdowns? Was that 84? Betty threw for 48. Yeah, Paulie. Yeah.
- [33:33]
Jeff Passan
Dan Marino had 48 touchdowns that year. Second place was 32 touchdowns. All right, let's see who can get this kind of a bit of a journeyman long.
- [33:43]
Dan Patrick
Pastorini.
- [33:44]
Jeff Passan
No. Oh, man, I'm gonna give you three points for that. Kind of a journeyman player. Had a very. A nice bounce around career. He had 32 touchdowns with Seattle in 1984.
- [33:54]
Dan Patrick
So Jim Zorn, post Zorn era Zornish.
- [33:59]
Jeff Passan
Another great reference by you.
- [34:01]
Dan Patrick
Okay.
- [34:01]
Jeff Passan
Dave Craig of Seattle had 32 bonus coverage. Neil Lomax of St. Louis was third with 28 touchdowns.
- [34:08]
Dan Patrick
Neil Lomax.
- [34:08]
Jeff Passan
Lynn Dickey, fifth.
- [34:09]
Dan Patrick
All right. Stat of the Day, brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show. How many pitchers threw at least one pitch 100 mph last season? Because I was. I was curious how common it is, the number of pitchers. Because we were talking about serves of 150 miles an hour, slap shots, over 100 miles an hour, those kind of things. You know, golf swing of 120 mph. How many pitchers had at least one pitch of over 100 miles an hour? Marvin, 38. All right. Paul, 66. Satan, 25. Todd 42. 62. 62 pitchers threw at least one pitch that was a hundred miles an hour. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Here it comes. Here comes that what? Stat of the day, Mike in la. Hi, Mike. What's on your mind today? I wanted to call in because I heard you talking about Wilt Chamberlain. And just last week we released a book published by Mama's Kitchen Press out of Austin, Texas, called Shooting Stars at Sky. And there are two poems about Wilt in it. One that I wrote, he was my hero growing up on a farm in Indiana. The other is by Tom Macheri, who was on the team with Wilt when Wilt scored 100 points. And the poem is called Wilt's 100 Point Game. Misheri is a great poet. They used to call him the Mad Russian. I don't know if you remember him, but he's got four poems in the book and it's a beautiful collection. I was the editor and Mama's Kitchen Press is the publisher. All right, well, thank you, Mike. Yes, Tom was an enforcer at a nice big mustache. He was one of those guys who would set pics. Yeah, they used to have guys that, that's what they did. They set picks. It's like Rick Mahorn. Rick Mahorn set a pick and when he did, you got picked. Ouch. Let me see what else. Kyle in Vermont. Good morning, Kyle. What's on your mind today? Good morning, fellas. I have an obscure stat of the day. All right, Tony Gwynn, in his basketball playing career at San Diego State University had 590 total assists, his major league career, 434 strikeouts. Stat on the day. We are drunk with stats today, but I'm surprised. Tony Gwyn struck out 400 times in his career, to be honest with you. I, I, you know, so 20 years, 20 strikeouts a year. All right, so if you're averaging whatever, 29 strikeouts a year, something like that. So insane. I know, but DiMaggio had a year, I think, when he had his 56 game hitting streak. I think he struck out 15 times or less that year. But back then, you know, it changed. I don't know when it changed, but I just remember it, it wasn't. You didn't want had the walk of shame when you struck out. It was like, like Reggie Jackson. I always felt like, like he didn't, he didn't get ahead, he struck out. But damn, did he look good striking out. Okay, that corkscrew. And he was like he was going for a home run every time. Like he was swinging for home runs before it was in vogue to swing for home runs. Mickey Mantle struck out a lot. I think Willie Stargell struck out a lot. But I just remember if you struck out a hundred times, man, we looked at and it's like, what is wrong with you? Yes, Ton seemed like Dave Kingman back in the day would either hit a home run or strikeout with the Mets. Yeah, Kong, yeah, it was home run. You know, Rob Deer was a home run or strikeout guy. There been a lot of those guys. But it wasn't this epidemic or acceptable where it's like, hey, it's all right, you'll get him next time, man. You were right on top of that one. And I remember when One of the Yankees told me that a Rod, he was okay if he struck out, if he looked good. Striking out like I. You don't want to look like, man, you're right on him. Right on him. I remember, you know, your teammates would try to pick up your spirits when you were up there against some guys, you know, bringing cheese. And you go back and you struck out, feeling down. Hey, man, you're right on him. Okay, you all, hey, that foul ball, if you straighten that one out. Yes, Marvin, there was nothing worse if you got caught striking out like you struck out looking and somebody say, oh, can I help you? Nope, just looking. I was like, damn, that's not nice. I'm sorry, do you need help? No, no. Just looking. Yes, Paul.
- [39:37]
Jeff Passan
I'm nerding out on Tony Gwynn stats like I like to do. He hit.370 at age 37, which is nutty. He also. He had five seasons where he hit over.350. He had none seasons where he hit under.300.
- [39:51]
Dan Patrick
Andy in Buffalo. Hi, Andy. What's on your mind today?
- [39:55]
Jeff Passan
Hey, Dan. First time, long time.
- [39:57]
Dan Patrick
58120.
- [40:01]
Jeff Passan
So, I. I'm actually calling from LA.
- [40:04]
Dan Patrick
I've lived in LA for almost 20 years now, but I'm from Buffalo.
- [40:07]
Jeff Passan
It really irks me when you guys talk about the best quarterbacks of all time and you talk about qualifications and this and that, and Dan Marino's name.
- [40:17]
Dan Patrick
Always gets brought up, but the guy that kept him out of another super.
- [40:22]
Jeff Passan
Bowl and went to four and won four AFC Championship games in a row and had an offense named after him is never in the discussion, and it drives me nuts.
- [40:32]
Dan Patrick
So Jim Kelly is who you're talking about?
- [40:36]
Jeff Passan
Yes.
- [40:36]
Dan Patrick
If you're going to talk about San Marino, you got to talk about Jim Kelly. That's great.
- [40:40]
Jeff Passan
He did five wide shotgun.
- [40:42]
Dan Patrick
Who cares?
- [40:43]
Jeff Passan
The last time the Dolphins were relevant was when that guy was chucking the rock and he was irrelevant for 13.
- [40:48]
Dan Patrick
Years after that Super Bowl. So Jim Kelly's got to be in.
- [40:52]
Jeff Passan
The conversation, my guys.
- [40:54]
Dan Patrick
All right, all right, Andy. Yeah, fine with that. All came in at the same time. Jim went to the usfl. I don't think Marino was irrelevant. If you ask quarterbacks who had more of an impact, Dan Marino is going to win that one. Jim Kelly, great career, unfairly labeled. You know, it's not winning, you know, a Super Bowl. He went to four, four straight. And we do. We did this to the Minnesota Vikings when they lost Super Bowls. And it. And it hurt some of those guys getting into the hall of fame. But Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed, James Lofton, they were great teams. They. Those Buffalo teams were far better than the Dolphin teams. I think we can be honest about that. Dan Marino changed the game. Jim Kelly didn't change the game. Dan Marino changed the game. Jim Kelly was a wonderful. He's a Hall of Fame quarterback. Yes, Mark. And the Bills are a complete team. And they're getting their flowers now because they have about six or seven guys in the hall of Fame.
- [42:00]
Jeff Passan
Almost like the 70 Steelers.
- [42:01]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. But, you know, this is what happens when you start comparing. And because I wax poetic about Dan Marino and I, you know, don't bring up. I mean, I bring up John Elway, who to me was greatest quarterback I saw, because that guy could run and throw, could throw as well as anybody and didn't have. He did not have an all pro skilled position player on his team during those three super bowl runs that they lost. Once again, no wide receiver, no tight end, no running back who was an All Pro and he went to three Super Bowls. Now, they did have a really good defense, but what happened in those games to get into the Super Bowl? Elway led them to victory. Yes, it's crazy, too, because the Bills might be looking at another surefire hall of Famer who can't win a Super Bowl. Well, he can't get there yet. What happened here? Is that just April Fools? Oh, is that. Is that April Fools? We're just kidding. Oftentimes, I'm very wrong about the stuff.
- [43:06]
Jeff Passan
I throw out here.
- [43:06]
Dan Patrick
I just like. I'm pretty sure he hasn't. April Fools. Yeah, that's who we are. We're the April Fools. Last call for phone calls. What we learn, what's in store tomorrow, right after this.

- [48:41]
Jeff Passan
Yeah, I did calm down a little bit.
- [48:43]
Dan Patrick
Yes, you needed to. Rocco in Florida. Hey Rocco, what's on your mind? Hey Dan. Dan S 59190 and I was calling him you were talking about the stats and how baseball is definitely generated off stats and not championships. As.
- [48:59]
Jeff Passan
But before, like de Grom and stuff.
- [49:01]
Dan Patrick
Won the Cy Young on the losing teams. But back in the day, I mean, it's funny, people don't realize.
- [49:06]
Jeff Passan
Some people don't.
- [49:07]
Dan Patrick
Nolan Ryan never won a Cy Young with all those accolades and everything. And then I just wanted to give the Ace nickname the little orphan athletics. So other than that, you guys have a good day. All right. Thank you, Rocco. Yeah. Jeff and Clearwater. Hi, Jeff. What's on your mind?
- [49:27]
Jeff Passan
What's up, Dan? 5:10, 180.
- [49:30]
Dan Patrick
Stat of the day.
- [49:33]
Jeff Passan
Jim Harbaugh has more rushing yards than.
- [49:37]
Dan Patrick
Bo Jackson the day. I think we should check that. That Jim Harbaugh has more rushing yards than Bo Jackson. Bo didn't play that long in the NFL, but. And Jim Harbaugh played a long time. Yes, Paul.
- [50:07]
Jeff Passan
I have Jim Harbaugh with 2,787 rushing yards in 14 years.
- [50:15]
Dan Patrick
He might have got boys. Wow. It's pretty good. That is good. That is good. I like that. Robin. Orlando. Hey, Rob. What's on your mind today? Yeah, and I hate the end of day on a negative man, but a little suck at the Marvin there. Because comparing the bills to the 70 Steelers is like comparing the bike. Like comparing the vikings of the 70s.
- [50:41]
Jeff Passan
To the 49ers of the 80s.
- [50:43]
Dan Patrick
I'm out. Thank you, Rob. Wow. Suck it, Marvin. Yes, Marvin. But I was talking about the number of hall of Famers that are on the 90s bills. Like not the bottom line winning champions.
- [50:52]
Jeff Passan
Yeah.
- [50:53]
Dan Patrick
So, Rob, Relaxed. Yeah. That Steeler dynasty, though, that's. That's the best dynasty I've ever seen. Because that, that defense, I mean, they had guys who didn't even start who went into the hall of Fame rotation. Guys got in. Yes, yes.
- [51:12]
Jeff Passan
It appears Bo Jackson had 2782 to Jim Harbor.
- [51:15]
Dan Patrick
2787. Five yards less than Jim Harbor. Let's compare the highlights of those two with their NFL rushing careers. That's pretty good stat. That's pretty good. That's a great stat. Yeah. Well done. Stat of the day is always brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the program. Thanks for all the phone calls today, emails, tweets, the all around support for this program. How about this day in sports history?
- [51:39]
Jeff Passan
Paul got a couple. 1919. The final game of the 1919 Stanley cup was canceled due to an influenza break worldwide. No winner was declared in the series between the Canadiens and the Montreal. The Seattle Metropolitans. 1930. Leo Hartnett of the Cubs caught a baseball that dropped from the goodyear blimp at 800ft in Los Angeles and first ever strike 1992 in the NHL. 1992, 75 year history of the NHL.
- [52:07]
Dan Patrick
First strike, the 1930 moment with Gabby Hartnett. He was trying to break the world record, but they weren't sure if the blimp was up. It was between 550 and 800ft. They don't, you know, so they couldn't calculate it to see if it was going to be a world record. So it could not be verified. Did you see the blimp that's got Charles Barkley on it? The Capital One blimp that's flying over San Antonio now? And Barkley has a history of saying mean things about San Antonio women. And they have a blimp of Charles, the Capital One blimp, I believe, flying over San Antonio as we speak. Yes, Paul.
- [52:50]
Jeff Passan
Yeah, it's Charles head on front and him like diving forward like big blimp shot.
- [52:55]
Dan Patrick
Hey, you big blimp. I can't say that about him anymore. Indianapolis, let me see anything else here. Duke's first NCAA championship on this date, 1991 when they beat Kansas 72, 65. That was the Grant Hill dunk, right? I just watched the Leitner documentary again. It is amazing. Now Jalen Rose makes everything about the world was against the Fab Five. But they have him on when they're talking about Leighton or stomping on Timberlake's chest in the Kentucky game and he's like, hey, if one of the Fab Five had done that, you know, they basically put us in jail. But Leitner got away with with the technical. Still one of those amazing moments because he played the perfect game and he could have been thrown out of the game and probably should have been thrown out of the game because it was right there in front of the official stomping on, no question. And that's when Coach Gay goes. He yells at him. He's like, what are you doing? And I don't think Leitner knew what he was doing in the moment. Todd, what'd you learn today? Coastal Carolina giving up free concessions to all fans who buy a ticket to a game. But no Shanta Beers, however. Alrighty. Could it could have gotten out without that time. Didn't like that line. Seaton. According to some on Twitter, I learned you're trying to be seen from space today. I got slimed. Marvin. Mike in New Jersey is active.
- [54:26]
Jeff Passan
Paul, tanking tops.
- [54:28]
Dan Patrick
