Release Date: July 9, 2025

Introduction and Event Coverage

The episode kicks off with Dan Patrick and his co-host Joe Buck broadcasting live from Tahoe, where they are covering the 36th annual American Century Championship—a star-studded golf event. Surrounded by A-list sports and entertainment personalities like Aaron Rodgers, Steph Curry, Charles Barkley, Tony Romo, Jason and Travis Kelce, and George Kittle, the hosts provide listeners with vivid descriptions of the picturesque setting.

Dan Patrick describes the scene:

“Behind us is the driving range. Behind us is the lake. And behind us the mountains. And it almost looks like you could put a painting there or it is a painting behind us with the lake. It is gorgeous.” ([02:44])

Conversation on Broadcasting and Personal Stories

The show delves into a deep conversation between Dan Patrick and Joe Buck about the intricacies of sports broadcasting, particularly focusing on Joe Buck’s experiences covering different sports like golf, football, and baseball. Joe Buck shares insightful anecdotes about the challenges of broadcasting golf, emphasizing its slower pace and the difficulty of building a narrative in real-time.

Joe Buck reflects on broadcasting golf:

“Golf was so different than I thought going in. And you can prepare yourself all you want, but we all fall asleep to it on the couch when we're watching it.” ([08:29])

The discussion takes a personal turn as Joe Buck opens up about his relationship with his late father, legendary broadcaster Jack Buck. He recounts visiting his father in the hospital during his final days, reading the sports page to him as his father was incapacitated. This heartfelt moment underscores the deep personal connections behind the scenes of sports broadcasting.

Joe Buck shares a poignant moment:

“He was writing a lot of poetry, I would read the sports page. I was reading, little excerpts... but he was incapacitated.” ([17:39])

Interview with Davante Adams

The highlight of the episode is the in-depth interview with Devonte Adams, a six-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro wide receiver now with the LA Rams. Adams discusses his transition from the Green Bay Packers to the Rams, shedding light on his experiences with both teams and addressing any lingering animosity with Packers fans.

Dan Patrick asks about Packers rivalry:

“But even you're not in Green Bay anymore. But is there still animosity, hatred with the Chicago Bears? Does that follow you the rest of your life?” ([27:46])

Adams shares entertaining stories from his NFL career, including humorous encounters with fans and teammates. He recounts his first experiences as a rookie, overcoming challenges on the field, and his dedication to continuous improvement despite reaching a plateau in his golfing skills—a hobby he passionately pursues with a six handicap.

Devonte Adams talks about his golfing journey:

“The worst thing you can ever do in golf is get better. I'm telling you, it's the worst thing.” ([42:18])

Humorous Interactions and Personal Insights

Throughout the episode, Dan Patrick and Joe Buck engage in light-hearted banter, offering listeners a blend of humor and personal insights. They discuss topics ranging from mouthpiece usage in football to favorite Taco Bell orders, adding a relatable and entertaining layer to the show.

Joe Buck jokes about mouthpieces:

“He has very nice teeth and a good smile. I think for branding. He didn't want to cover up the money maker.” ([38:12])

Show on Fox Sports Radio. Final hour on this Wednesday, beautiful day. Got here early at west coast call time of 4:30 in the morning. Came outside, nobody says anything as we're driving over to the golf course. It is quiet in the car and dress accordingly if, if you're in. There's certain areas in the country where you can go from 50 degrees to 80 degrees in the span of a couple of hours. And Tahoe is like that when you're up early. It was probably upper 40s, low 50s. It'll be gorgeous and probably sunny and 80 in a couple of hours here. But we're here for the American century and they've been doing it for 36 years. Star studded affair. Aaron Rodgers is here, Steph Curry's here, Charles Barkley, Tony Romo, you got Jason and Travis Kelsey, George Kittle here as well. And us so excited to be out here. NBC, our partners with Peacock and they have set us up. If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app. Behind us is the driving range. Behind us is the lake. Behind us the mountains. And it almost looks like you could put a painting there or it is a painting behind us with the lake. It is gorgeous. And you know certain places where you take it for granted. Every time I've come out here, I just walk over to the lake every single day, walk over to the lake, just take it all in because that water is beautiful and it is cold. All of that water coming down from the mountains here. You still got some snow in certain mountain ranges here and great for skiing, snowboarding here as well. 877-3-DP show email address dpadanpatrick.com Twitter handle @dpshow Coming up, we'll talk to Devonte Adams now with the LA Rams. He's out here playing and Joe Buck who we spoke to yesterday. Your phone calls are welcome. Operator Tyler sitting by to take those calls. Do we have a poll question for the final hour of the program? By the way, Fritzi is not with us. If you're watching or you're listening, he is in London. He scheduled a vacation before we decided to come out here to Tahoe. So Fritzi is there with his family watching Wimbledon and didn't get he did get a shout out on Pardon the Interruption yesterday by Michael Wilbon because there is a tennis player named Taylor Fritz who is playing in Wimbledon. And it sounded like this yesterday on pti. I can't help but look forward to.

[Joe Buck]

And Fritz, Todd Fritz.

[Dan Patrick]

I'll let you get to mostly that.

[Joe Buck]

But Fritz and Alcaraz is going to.

[Dan Patrick]

Be, it figures, be one hell of a match. So Michael Wilbon makes the mistake, started the show. They're talking about Wimbledon. And then Tony Kornheiser has to correct him.

[Joe Buck]

Yeah, I want to start. It's.

[Bridget Todd]

It's not.

[Joe Buck]

It's Taylor Fritz.

[Bridget Todd]

It's not Todd Fritz.

[Joe Buck]

It's Taylor Fritz. And I always have trouble with his name because I always think of Taylor Swift. But I'm going to start with him. And if I don't get a text from Todd Fritz later, I'll be disappointed.

[Dan Patrick]

So Fritzi is in London, but we couldn't pass up the opportunity to come out here and spend a few days. It is beautiful. People have been wonderful. And it's a. It's a big, big celebrity. This is the biggest celebrity event we have in the United States, the world for that matter, considering everybody who's out here. And it's not just athletes. You got actors, you got, I don't know, the head of the wnba, I think is out here. I mean, it's Larry the Cable guy is out here. I mean, there's a variety of. Ray Romano is out here. I played around with Ray Romano and yeah, I just. It was fun. And. And he was just learning to play. In fact, the first time I came out here, Ben. I played with Ben Roethlisberger. He was just learning to play. Aaron Rodgers was kind of starting out. Roethlisberger isn't here, but Aaron Rodgers is here. Charles Barkley, I think he has the worst odds to win this. I thought he was back, like he had improved his game, but I got the 70, 757,500 to 1 odds to win this thing for Charles, who I believe will be joining us tomorrow. Yes.

[Joe Buck]

Yes. Marvin, is the hitch gone in his swing?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yes. He went to a hypnotist to try to get rid of it. And I remember when this first started because I played with Charles. This is a long time ago. And he shot an 81. He would know 79. He was really good short game, really good. He went to a teaching pro, I believe, in Houston, and the golf instructor said, pause at the top of your swing. Just like a split second pause, you know, now there's a golfer, Hideki Matsuyama, who does pause at the top of his swing. Colin Morikawa has a little bit. So Charles paused and then he couldn't get back down to the ball. He just, you know, mentally could not get started. And it screwed him up for a long, long, long time. But he loved the game and he kept playing and got rid of that. Finally got rid of that hitch. All right, Joe Buck, we spoke to him. He of course the voice for ESPN and abc. And when he was at Fox, he called everything, he called golf, football and baseball. And I asked him what is the difference between calling golf football and baseball.

[Joe Buck]

Golf was so different than I thought going in. And you can prepare yourself all you want, but we all fall asleep to it on the couch when we're watching it, when you're sitting in that chair. It's why I have so much respect for Jim, for Mike, for Dan, for all the guys that do it regularly because it happens so fast, because you're not watching any of it with your own eyes. Like live. You're all, it's all on monitor. So you're getting information in your ear like, okay, we're going to Spieth on four. It's his second shot, he's made two birdies in a row. And so you just, you do like broadcast news. Let's go to Spieth on four. It's a second shot, he's made two birdies in a row. And you know, it's a little unnerving to be relying on other people's information. I rather make my own mistakes or do my own thoughts instead of just parroting what I'm hearing in my ear. So long winded way of saying baseball, football, way easier, way slower than you would think compared to golf.

[Dan Patrick]

But also, how many times have you had to fake that you didn't know what was going to happen to the golfer who is standing over a 20 footer to take the sole possession?

[Joe Buck]

Well, that's the thing. I mean, you know all the websites which you find out when you do golf how closed the community is and like when Fox showed up and then I'm calling it and it's not Dan Hicks and Johnny Miller. It's like, oh my God, aliens have landed on my tv and I cannot believe they're trying to do golf. Their camera people suck. They can't find the golf ball. We were Chambers, Bay was Glary. They're the same camera people that did it for NBC. So it wasn't that. Now the guy in the chair wasn't that good. That's me. But you have to, what you realize is if you're gonna have a TV event and try and build any drama whatsoever. You can't just do live shot, live shot, live shot, live shot. You have to hold stuff to make it. Build a narrative as to where the thing is going. And it takes a while to get into that, too. There's a, you know, you. I can see on my laptop that a guy just made birdie, but it's not on the scoreboard I'm looking at. And if it's not on the scoreboard I'm looking at, he didn't make birdie yet. We got to act like he's about to make birdie. So it's a lot of convoluted stuff that it's handled better by smarter people.

[Dan Patrick]

I talked to John Smoltz, and he said that he's not on social media, that he'll maybe hear from his kids about Liar.

[Joe Buck]

He's got burner accounts. He knows what's going on in social media.

[Dan Patrick]

But do you need social media? Like. Like, is it part of your life? No.

[Joe Buck]

No. I go on there periodically if I want to find out how awful I am, if I'm feeling good about myself, I go on social media. And then that just brings me back.

[Dan Patrick]

When did this start? When did this start? Where you just.

[Joe Buck]

For me or for you? Well, I think, you know, I'm kind of uniquely positioned by being the World Series guy and the postseason baseball guy from the advent of social media to now. Now I haven't done it in four years, so I'm out. But I think when you do the World Series and every game is done by local TV announcers, I mean, you could. You can watch it. You could put Cardinals and Cubs series. You put Boog Sciambi's call of a Cubs home run, and then Boogie Onbi's call of a Cardinal home run, and it's night and day. It's, yay us. Boo them. That's the way you're supposed to do it. He does it for the Cubs. And. And I think when you show up and now you're getting excited for both teams, the fan bases are like, why is this guy excited that the Red Sox guy just hit a home run? He sucks. He hates my team. And so add social media into it, and it just kind of becomes a thing. I go to therapists for it. I suck my thumb again because of it. But, yeah, I mean, you just have to realize. And I told Joe Davis when he took over for me, and he and I have had long talks about it. You just have to be willing to put up with that, knowing that that's just part of the job.

[Dan Patrick]

I'm talking to Joe Buck. I don't, I'm not on it, but I always say to the danets, I said, if you guys read something that keeps me honest, great. Yeah, but I don't need to hear 10 people say you're great. And the 11th person to say, why don't you retire?

[Joe Buck]

That's the one you remember.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Joe Buck]

You just scroll right through the nice ones and you go right to the mean person.

[Dan Patrick]

Why read fan mail from the bottom up? Because if it says sincerely, chances are it probably started nice. But if it said hate you or f you and okay, no need, no need to go up top and read it.

[Joe Buck]

No. And I, I'm pretty much to the point where I won't open it. There's no return address on it because most of the time they want something sent back. Yeah, but I mean, I'm not sitting here complaining about it. I really am not. I've kind of put that in its own box and I kind of laugh at it a little bit. And to be honest with you, when you leave it, you know, you have to retire or die for people to say you were ever any good. And so I haven't died yet, but I retired from baseball and then I did one Yankee game at the beginning of the year and it's like becomes viral where, oh, Joe Buck's doing baseball again, thank God. But I was like, where the hell were you people for 24 years? So it's, it's just, it is what it is and you have to just kind of take it.

[Dan Patrick]

When did we get to the point where we had to fill all of the time with voices? When you do play by play and then you have a color analyst and then maybe another color analyst, and if you go back and listen to, you know, yesteryear, there was breathing and it was almost treating you as if, hey, I'm talking to you and we don't need to be. You know, you and your wife can sometimes sit and not talk a lot.

[Joe Buck]

But at dinner on the couch. Yeah, we've got seven year old twins.

[Dan Patrick]

But everybody, it just feels like it's wall to wall.

[Joe Buck]

Yeah, I, I agree. And I think it should have been, it should be really the reverse because, and I say this to broadcast students all the time, like, don't be afraid to not talk. I think that little voice in your head is telling you if I don't say something here, the audience thinks I don't know what to say. And it's that insecurity. And I think insecurity breeds over talking. I could make the case that with the advancements that have been made in audio, there really is no more dead air. Dead air doesn't exist anymore. If I don't talk, you're gonna hear, you know, whoever Aaron Rodgers calling signals out at the line of scrimmage, or just good natural sound or just the sound of a crowd enjoying a game. And that's really the beauty of baseball, kind of that hum that happens underneath. And I always tried to do the game like that. You know, I tried to pick my spots. I realize I'm not doing radio. I don't need to talk. I don't need to go, hey, here's a 2. 1 pitch, so and so Rares back, lets it fly, swinging a ground ball to short. Jeter goes in the hole, backhanded stop. Long throw bounces at the first dugout by the first baseman. Two out. I can just go Jeter to his right to out. That. That's. That's how I always tried to do a game as. Because that's how I would want to listen to it.

[Dan Patrick]

But my favorite announcer of all time is somebody that most people don't know. It's Ray Scott.

[Joe Buck]

Because my dad used to work with.

[Dan Patrick]

Him, but he was economical. Yeah. And it was. It'd be packers against the Bears. He would say, star dollar, first down.

[Joe Buck]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

And I. I love the cadence to it because it just felt like he respected me as a football fan.

[Joe Buck]

Yeah. But you got to realize that we're old. I'm the same way. And you know, that's not the way of 2025. And. And that doesn't make it right, wrong or indifferent. But I. When. When Pat Summ, John Madden left, and now all of a sudden, it's me, Troy and Chris Collinsworth. I took the bait of trying to be Pat Summerall, and I go back and I listen to myself in the early 2000s, and I'm like, yuck, man, I hate that because I'm doing the Montana Rice touchdown. And then Madden. It was beautiful because Madden was bouncing off the walls, and then Pat was the straight man and just hit the notes and just let you enjoy it for what it was. But I took that bait. I never really tried to be my dad. I did take a lot of cues from him, and a lot of the pacing was the same. But I fell into the trap of trying to be Pat. And I realized, looking back at it, there's only one Pat.

[Dan Patrick]

You crushed me when Your father was dying and you used to go to the hospital, I believe, and read to your father. Yeah. What were you reading to your dad when he was dying?

[Joe Buck]

You know, basically the sports page. You know, I wasn't reading poetry. He was. He was at a time in his life before he got sick, right before he got sick, where he was writing a lot of it. And one of the results of that was the poem that he read at busch Stadium after 9 11. So he was always in this mode at the end of his life. He was a depression era kid. He was a World War II vet who got shot in Germany. He was in Paris when the war ended and saw de Gaulle speak. I mean, he lived a life. And at the end of his life, I think he knew the end was coming. He was very retrospective. He was writing a lot of poetry, he was watching a lot of war documentaries, and he was just kind of. It wasn't the sports Jack Buck anymore. It was. So I would read the sports page. I would read, you know, little excerpts out of a book that he was reading before he went into the hospital. But he was. He was at the point where he was incapacitated. He had a trach, so he couldn't really talk. I mean, it was. It was Shakespearean. It was this guy with this great voice, great mind. His mind was there to the end, but he couldn't speak and he had to mouth everything to me. And so going there every day, I would try to find off times because I have seven brothers and sisters, one full six, half. And everybody was coming in different shifts. But I tried to find all the off times because I just wanted it to be the two of us. And, you know, I've told the story a million times and I'm not going to drone on about, you know, saying my goodbyes to him the night before he died, when I knew they were going to pull all the equipment and all the. The respirator and everything out of him. But I did a Cardinal game the night. That night, and I was driving by the hospital and, you know, he hadn't passed away yet and my family had all left and I went and went up to see him and said a couple things in his ear and kissed him goodbye. And he had passed away before I got to the car and so I. And they, they pulled the TV down by his head when, when I was doing it, it was a Cardinals Angels game and Daryl Kyle was going to die that same week. Mike Social was amazing. Pushing a game back. It was just. It was a crazy time. But he was listening to me doing the game and I think he was waiting for me to come say goodbye. At least my narcissistic life thinks that. And maybe if I'd never gone, he'd still be alive today, 23 years later. But I did. I went and I. Social media.

[Dan Patrick]

Social media.

[Joe Buck]

You.

[Dan Patrick]

You sure?

[Joe Buck]

Why would you go there? You killed your father. Unbelievable.

[Dan Patrick]

Wow, that got sentimental and dark in a hurry.

[Joe Buck]

Ye, but he would love that. That was his sense of humor he had. The best thing I had with my dad was that I could make him laugh even when I was a little kid, so he could take me on the road. And he was a tough audience, but I got through to him and some of it was really dark, but he wanted me around. And that's what set up the rest of my life. By just being there with him on the road, seeing the life just from the eyes of a broadcaster and getting a master's class in it, really every night.

[Dan Patrick]

Good to see you. Good to see you. Thanks for sharing.

[Dan Patrick]

Try to sneak in a few more phone calls here in Tahoe. Hoping Charles Barkley will spend some time with us tomorrow. Austin Reeves, the great comedian Nate Bargazi is set to join us I believe on Friday. Also one of the Kelsey brothers. I believe Jason is going to join us as well. So very fortunate where we're set up right by the driving range and we just ran into Devonte Adams. He of course is now with the Rams. Was with the Raiders and of course Green Bay and pretty good golfer. I was just talking to him. He's a a six handicap which you know that's where you get to you get up there now you can kind of have fun and compete with everybody. He's a six time Pro Bowler, three time all pro. Now with the LA Rams, we welcome in Devonte Adams who joins us on the program. Saw him out there. We were trying to trying to impress him. He was trying to pick out who was who gave the aura of being a quarterback and I think Devonte realized that nobody is going to be ready at least sounding wise. Seaton sounded like Aaron Rodgers with his or no Paulie did you gave the green 19.

[Joe Buck]

Yeah as a lifelong Bears fan I can't tell you how many times I've watched and saw Aaron Rodgers draw us offsides with the green 19.

[Bridget Todd]

Dad, your owner, definitely. He did that quite a bit, for sure.

[Dan Patrick]

But even you're not in Green Bay anymore. But is there still animosity, hatred with the Chicago Bears? Does that follow you the rest of your life?

[Bridget Todd]

Oh, no. Honestly, I've met so many fans. I feel like I meet more fans in the NFC north now because they actually come forth and speak to me. So I'll let them know. Yeah, it's cool. We can actually be friends now. You know, I don't mind it. We. I'm still, I'm in an NFC now, but I'm not in the NFC north, so, you know, I don't, I don't hate the Bears anymore. That was just a thing that, that lasts while I'm there.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, so they'll talk to you now because you're not in the division.

[Bridget Todd]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

If you were still with the Packers, Bears fans wouldn't be talking.

[Bridget Todd]

No. They don't introduce themselves quite as much. I think they, they, they tend to hold back. When I was with the Packers.

[Dan Patrick]

Do you have a favorite story that you tell of your time with the Packers?

[Bridget Todd]

That's, that's a tough one. I, I was there for eight years, so quite a bit of stories.

[Dan Patrick]

You got a Roger story that you're going to tell your kids grandkids?

[Bridget Todd]

Oh, yeah. I don't, I don't know if I can say that. Tell. Tell one of them the good ones on the Dan Patrick Show. I might get in some trouble, but.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, you can, you can. You have the language maybe. Yeah, if you have to change the language a little bit.

[Bridget Todd]

Well, I guess 1. A pretty good story I have is one of the first stories. So my basically first game playing was the Detroit Lions game. I played like eight plays in the, in the season opener against the Seahawks. We opened up the season and, you know, I kind of got my feet wet in that game. And in the Detroit game, I got a few more meaningful snaps. So I get out there and one of my first snaps, I'm on the right side and I'm by myself. And we had a signal that was this. And we had a signal that was this.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, close.

[Bridget Todd]

Very close. So. And, and especially when it's full speed mid cadence, you know, Aaron said. So I see that in basically the timing that, that you got now when you're dealing with a person like Aaron and you've come to learn the details are very, very important. Right. So this signal Is for when you're by yourself. So you wouldn't get this signal. Typically if you're over there with another tight end or another, you know, a slot receiver with you, and I was outside, I wasn't planning to slot as much at that point. So if you get this, it's typically for when you're alone. You get this. That's a two man concept, right? I'm just a rookie coming in. It's my second game plan. I'm not really ready to, you know, process all that, especially not mid cadence, which I don't even know if we ever even did that again after that. I think it might have been a test and I failed it. But I'm over there in the boundary and green 19. And he does that. So boom. Almost pooped myself for sure. And then I say, okay, well, I'm gonna run the slant. That I think this is the slant. So I come off the ball and I run full speed. Now, the problem with that was that the other route is a one step, like, stop right where you are, so you're not moving anywhere and the ball's coming out immediately. So as soon as I drive off the ball, take that step and stick for the slant, the ball's flying to the. Where I basically was standing before I even moved. And then I'm looking at him. I look my, like, flip my eyes to him and then I see the ball. So I flipped it. I'm like looking back and forth and I'm like. And he's flying at me. Just, just when you see that finger come out, he starts skipping. You know, you know his problems. So, so the. I see him skipping over toward me and I've seen it in practice, but I wasn't. It's less embarrassing in practice because you run all your teammates and we, you know, we were all getting it. He. And he softened up over time, so he doesn't really do that anymore. But that was 12 years ago. He was, he was a little bit more fiery. So.

[Dan Patrick]

But what's that like going back to the huddle?

[Bridget Todd]

It's. It's not. Well, first of all, I had to deal with it before I even got to the huddle because I'm. He's literally approaching me as this is happening. So I'm going to him and I'm. And I say, I thought, I thought you gave, you know, whatever. And then in the moment, I think that, that sometimes the worst thing to do, whether it's to your parents, to your, your, your, you know, your uncle, your veteran quarterback is to say something that isn't like a legitimate response to them.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Bridget Todd]

And I thought it was a legit response because this signal and this signal are damn close. So I'm like, I thought you meant the other one. And then he taught me what details are about and he says, breaks that whole thing I told you down about the two man versus one man concept. And you got to be able to take care of that in your head. Like, you know, if you. I'm not going to give you a, a two man concept to a one man side. So you have to understand you got to do the math quickly and make that work. So right then I said, okay, that next week I just dove into the details different. And I mean, the man changed my life because he got me. He got me dialed into the, you know, knowing just how important small things are in this game.

[Dan Patrick]

You were in Vegas and it felt like you can blend in in Vegas. That did, you know, you went to a party, I think, and you had. People didn't know what you did for a living.

[Bridget Todd]

Yeah, that was, that was my, my daughter's party. Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Bridget Todd]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, so it's your daughter's party?

[Bridget Todd]

It was her party. We invited the, the parents of her school and, and her, her classmates too. And I wasn't at the school as much at that point, so they had no idea. They see Deja at school, they had no idea that I was her father. So they show up at the house and obviously it's a little weird for them, so.

[Dan Patrick]

So when do they realize what you do for a living?

[Bridget Todd]

Well, they, they all knew what I did for a living. They just didn't know that I was the one whose house they were showing up to. So they showed up at devonte Adams house thinking they were just going to their kids friend's birthday party.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Bridget Todd]

And I was there greeting them, saying, hello, welcome to my house.

[Dan Patrick]

Did you have your jersey on?

[Bridget Todd]

I didn't. I was, I was wearing my helmet, though.

[Dan Patrick]

But, but in Green Bay, you can't walk around. You're not anonymous in Green Bay.

[Bridget Todd]

Yeah, I mean, it's. To be honest, it's. It's not as comfortable as I'd like. Just period. But in Green Bay, there's. There's a lot more people of fair skin there. So I think, I think just that alone kind of draws a little attention. Not in a bad way, but like, you know, it's like, oh, you're here. So, you know, I look a little athletic. So even if they don't know, sometimes they kind of Know.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. So you must play for the packers, correct?

[Bridget Todd]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Don't know what position, but you look like you.

[Bridget Todd]

You. I'll tell you this. I have my manager who is by no means appearing to be a football player. He's. He is of the. The darker complexion, I will say that. But we go to a Buffalo Wild Wings. It's like my second year, and I'm sitting there with my hood on and I got my strings pulled, and I'm waiting for the order, and somebody walks by him. He's like, five, seven, not in amazing shape. And it doesn't. Again, doesn't look like he plays football. And they walk by him, tap him on the shoulder and go, good luck Sunday. Just. Just now let me know. I was like, yeah, I think. I don't think I'll be outside too.

[Dan Patrick]

Much out here, but Los Angeles, you can blend in.

[Bridget Todd]

You can blend in a lot better there, that's for sure. And it's built a little bit more for that.

[Dan Patrick]

But have you met celebrities and.

[Bridget Todd]

Oh, yeah, well, I've met celebrities. I mean, I played in New York. I got. I played in, you know, in. In Vegas, so I've had the opportunity to. To come across a lot of people, but LA is full of them, that's for sure.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, but give me the. Oh, my God, that's such and such.

[Bridget Todd]

Since being on the Rams or just period, period. I mean, your. Your Jay Z's, your. You know, obviously Braun is a big one. And me being in la, he. He actually, I saw him at Fanatics Fest in New York just recently, and he's coming through. And anywhere LeBron goes, I don't know if you've ever been around LeBron. They basically, if there's music playing, they cut the music off. They made. It's like the biggest deal in the world. So when he walks through, everybody's just, like, staring at him. And he came through and he was just kind of walking with security, and then he, like, gave, like, fully embraced me as, like, the only person in, like, the. The building. And everybody was looking at me like. And I wasn't expecting. I was just sitting there with my water, just kind of sipping, and I saw him. I was like, what's up? And he just leaned over, fully embraced me, started talking about the LA thing and everything. So, you know, I'm just a young, humble dude from East Palo Alto, California, and obviously I know who I am to people. But you. You lose sight of that when you are, you know, humble and just staying focused on continuing to get better. And when you got a guy like LeBron that'll come in and only embrace you, you know, immediately out of. In a building, Pretty cool. That obviously means a lot.

[Dan Patrick]

What kind of football player do you think LeBron would have made?

[Bridget Todd]

He would have. He would have been one of the best receivers, tight ends, all time. No question. I don't know if you ever seen him play football.

[Dan Patrick]

I saw him play a high school.

[Bridget Todd]

Yeah, he. He can. He can fly too. That's the thing. He's. He's one of the fastest NBA players probably all time. I've never seen somebody cover space on the. On a basketball court. Maybe John Wall, Derrick Rose, something like that, but. But he's up there with all of them.

[Dan Patrick]

But you get guys, whenever I bring up basketball players playing football, and they go, yeah, once they get hit one time, and then we'll see.

[Bridget Todd]

Well, they. Brian doesn't help his case by the way he acts on the court sometimes. But I do. I do think it's a little bit strategy in there. So I don't. I don't think he's actually, like, banged up every time now. If you're doing that in football, we're gonna have some issues, and that might slow the game up a little bit because.

[Dan Patrick]

But do you guys do flop in.

[Bridget Todd]

In football?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Like, do you find yourself trying to get a call?

[Bridget Todd]

A football flop is like when you're trying to, like, get under a dude's skin and you. And he pushes you and you do that to get a flag. Not like, not. You know, you'll get some flops, like PI flops and stuff like that a little bit. But it's never like. It's never like the soccer dudes. Like, I think soccer is really the worst soccer dudes, when they. I think it's because the game doesn't stop. Maybe that's what it is. So they really need some breaks in the game. Yeah, but these dudes get, like, touched on their shoulder, and they, like, are grabbing the shoulder, mouth is wide open, screaming and stuff like that. So I think they'd be a little worse off.

[Dan Patrick]

Do you have a hit that was a welcome to the NFL hit?

[Bridget Todd]

Oh, absolutely. Well, I've gotten hit more than what I would like in this league, that's for sure. But I would say welcome to the league was my. It was either. Either Dante Hightower, my. My first year, I caught a slant, a high one, and. And brought it in, and he hit me, knocked the wind out of me. And then I would say after that, probably my second year Preseason, we were playing the Patriots and I ran another slant and thought I was getting busy after. This is before. I would wear a mouthpiece and caught it. And I was getting ready to turn up and Jamie Collins just hit me in my. In like. Like a. One of these, like in your chest. And it raised up so it made me bite through my tongue. And I couldn't eat food for like a week and a half. I had. I was on like a strictly liquid diet.

[Dan Patrick]

Why don't you wear a mouthpiece?

[Bridget Todd]

Well, my reason is going to be even dumber than not.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, can we guess why Devonte Adams wouldn't wear a mouthpiece?

[Bridget Todd]

Let's. Yeah, I would love to see.

[Joe Buck]

You know what? You have very nice teeth and a good smile. I think for branding. He didn't want to cover up the money maker.

[Dan Patrick]

You want to keep those teeth. That's why you wear them.

[Joe Buck]

He said it was a dumb reason.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, Seaton, what do you think? I think because they taste funny. All right, Marvin, New teeth.

[Bridget Todd]

New teeth.

[Joe Buck]

Like he had gotten them done.

[Bridget Todd]

Oh, okay. No, that's not it. But I would say it's dumber than all of those, for sure. I would wear a gold grill like. Like the. The gold teeth in. In game. So I would. I wore. I wore the tops and bottoms in game. And it was. It started in high school because it was kind of like a culture thing. That's. I grew up in East Palo Alto and that was a. That was a real popular thing. Guys wore grills and I just decided to keep it. And it was kind of. It worked as kind of like an intimidation factor a little bit too. I would see people, people would see it and they'd be like, oh, shit, this dude's wearing both teeth in the game. Oh, my God. And then I'll talk a little crazier to him too, obviously, and put all that together. So, yeah, not the best reason. And I. And I put one in the next game after that.

[Dan Patrick]

He is a three time all Pro, six time pro Bowler now with the Rams. Devonte Adams, how much work have you had with Matthew Stafford?

[Bridget Todd]

Quite a bit, man. We got right to it. Had a really productive off season and I worked probably some of the hardest. I've worked just feeling really rejuvenated and ready to go and win some games. So. He looks amazing too. He looks just like the Matthew Stafford we all fell in love with 17 years ago when he came in doing his thing. So I'm having a lot of fun doing it with.

[Dan Patrick]

How's McVeigh?

[Bridget Todd]

Just like everybody says. I mean, I haven't heard anybody say anything different about McVeigh. I think of any coach ever spoken about, to me, it's been the most uniform feedback ever. And then I got around him, and he completely validated.

[Dan Patrick]

He's got some energy.

[Bridget Todd]

He's got energy. He's got. But it's all legit. It's real. You can. You can. You can feel him. You just love being around his energy. Even when you don't do things wrong or you don't do things right and you may have, you know, messed something up, like, you don't feel that, like, oh, my coach is going to come down on me. Like, he's going to correct you, and he's going to hold you accountable. But it's a. It's just a different feeling in that building right now.

[Dan Patrick]

Anybody that you're looking forward to meeting here in Tahoe?

[Bridget Todd]

I really. I got to look at who's all here this year. I haven't even seen fully everybody, but.

[Dan Patrick]

I've seen a lot of stuff, and.

[Bridget Todd]

Yeah. Yeah, I've met all those guys. Oh, yeah. I was on the par 5 on the other side of the course when he knocked it in on. I think it was number seven. Yeah. When he hit the hole in one, I think that was seven. Yeah. And. And I heard it from, like, the other side of the course, so I felt like I met him then if I didn't meet him before that.

[Dan Patrick]

I know that you got a Taco Bell hat.

[Bridget Todd]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

And so you're. You're flying the colors there.

[Bridget Todd]

Yes, sir.

[Dan Patrick]

You're. So you walk into Taco Bell and.

[Bridget Todd]

You order, what, Two crunchwrap Supremes, one Doritos Locos Taco Supreme. No tomatoes on either or. Or two of the other. And depending on kind of where I'm at with that.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Bridget Todd]

Caramel apple empanada. If they want to bring that back again for me, I did bring that back for a while. Mexican pizza as well, so you guys are completely welcome.

[Dan Patrick]

Marvin, you're. He's speaking your language here.

[Bridget Todd]

Contrast supreme for me with the Mountain Dew Baja Blast. There you go. There you go. You got to go to the cantina in Vegas. They throw something in that for you if you. If you're interested.

[Dan Patrick]

And just drop your name. Right?

[Bridget Todd]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Just.

[Bridget Todd]

Just tell them. Tell them you there. Tell them. Tell them Taste sent you.

[Dan Patrick]

You tay?

[Bridget Todd]

Yeah.

[Joe Buck]

They'd be like, oh, you know, tay.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, that's my man. I'll go. The cheesy gordita Crunch, though.

[Bridget Todd]

Cheesy okay.

[Dan Patrick]

And then these Cinnabon delights as well.

[Bridget Todd]

Oh, wow. You, you dipping in your bag there?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, yeah, we might.

[Bridget Todd]

We. I'm feeling like we did some research before.

[Dan Patrick]

We're professionals here. Attention to detail. Just like Aaron Rodgers.

[Bridget Todd]

There you go.

[Dan Patrick]

There you go. Well, it's great to meet you and good luck. I know that you're six handicap, so you're getting into that area where you might not improve as much as you did. When you're correct around 9, 10, 11, 12 handicap.

[Bridget Todd]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Then you see improvement 100%. Now you're going to be like, damn, I'm still 6.

[Bridget Todd]

The worst thing you can ever do in golf is get better. I'm telling you, it's the worst thing. It's, it's so frustrating. I swear I could just run around just having a sip of crown and just enjoying the game at 18. Now I carry too much about it.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, so you won't sip any Crown Royal out there.

[Bridget Todd]

I'll sit. But I would. They were a little stronger sips back then.

[Dan Patrick]

I would say thanks again for joining us and good luck this upcoming season.

[Bridget Todd]

Thank you. Appreciate it.

[Dan Patrick]

That's Devonte Adams. We'll take a break. Last call for phone calls. What we learn what's in store right after this.

25 years, 25 players before training camp kickstarts a new NFL season, NFL Daily is going to look back. It is a special six episode series where myself, Greg Rosenthal and some of the top NFL minds like Kevin Harlan, Mina Kimes and Bill Barnwell make the case for each player. We're taking a look back giving you NFL Daily's top 25 players of the last 25 years. So who made the list? You know Tom Brady's on it. Where's Patrick Mahomes?

[Dan Patrick]

Kansas City.

[Greg Rosenthal]

He's on it. How about Lamar Jackson?

[Dan Patrick]

Jackson takes it himself. Look at him dart back and forth. Oh, oh, he broke his ankles and he's got a touchdown. He is Houdini.

[Greg Rosenthal]

You are going to have to listen to find out. Listen to NFL Daily's top 25 players of the last 25 years starting on June 30th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Dan Patrick]

Fun first day. Hope you enjoyed it here in Tahoe we'll be here the next two days. John Smoltz early in the show talked about Shohei Otani and why you wouldn't use him as a closer, but maybe the Dodgers will use him in the postseason, pick some spots that you could bring him in as a closer, but he might be. Who knows how many innings he might be pitching then. But you could maybe on a day where he's had a few days rest, bring him in situational reliever there. We had Big Cat pft from barstool. Pardon my take. They're writing a book after their 10 years together. Let's see. Joe Buck told a story, and I don't know if you've heard it before, but I just went. It hit me because when he was talking about his father, legendary father, Jack Buck, and he was dying and Joe would go to the hospital and read to his father and his father couldn't communicate. He had a tube down his throat. And, you know, he talked about that game that he called and he was driving by the hospital and. And saw the light on. And, you know, they, they made sure that his father got to hear Joe call a St. Louis Cardinal game. And it was just, it was done in a. In a Joe Buck way. He told the story and then it became dark humor after that. And he, he said, you know, that my dad would love that, that it was dark humor, that he was kind of pointing out the, you know, obvious loss of his father. But there was a joke in there as well. And Devonte Adams, a lot of fun and a lot of personality there. So tomorrow on the show, we're still working on that, I think Barkley for Friday. But yeah, we have a. We have a great guest list pending just because of the time frame of being on from 6 until 9 in the morning. Guys getting here and guys get here and they're serious. They're serious about playing. You know, Smoltz is grinding, Ray Allen, Romo, all of these guys, they're like. It's really, really important to them. Yes.

[Joe Buck]

Paulie, what Devonte Adams said stuck out, not to me, because I never played golf well, but imagine improving at golf. It make you want to play more and work on it more.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, you get to a point where you don't improve, you know, like, Jordan has been, I think, a four for a long time now. I don't know if he's better than that. I think he would. He said he was a four and he wasn't a four. And you lose money that way. And. But, you know, Michael wanted To improve, keep improving. He plays all the time. But you get to a certain point where that's probably as good as you're going to get. And that can be frustrating for these guys who are always chasing, chasing, chasing. And then you realize, you know, maybe this is as good as I get. All right, let me see anything that this day in sports history. Paul, do you have some items for us?

[Joe Buck]

Yeah. 1968, the first All Star MLB game played indoors at the Astrodome in Houston, Texas. 1985, Herschel Walker of the New Jersey Generals named MVP of the league as a rookie. And, oh, this was a. This is sad. 1997, Mike Tyson banned from the boxing ring and fined $3 million for biting the ear off of Evander Holyfield.

[Dan Patrick]

A portion of his ear.

[Joe Buck]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, I mean, it wasn't a full year. Apologies. Yes. Not a full ear. Let's see. The Red Sox in 1914 purchased Babe Ruth minor league contract. He was 19 years of age for $25,000. Seems like they do that about every three weeks in the state sports history. Something about Babe Ruth.

[Greg Rosenthal]

Something about a Babe Ruth contract.

[Dan Patrick]

On this date, 1968, Will Chamberlain became the first MVP, the reigning MVP, to be traded the next season when he left Philadelphia to go to the Lakers. Let's go around the room. What we learned on the program. Paul, would you learn today the weather changes fast? Yes, it does. It was chilly chile at around 4:30 this morning, but now it is gorgeous. Seaton, what did you learn today? Devonte Adams kitchen air quotes is a short game. Yes. He was getting some tips from Tony Romo. It's. It's cool to see the different sports. You know, sometimes you're talking to a basketball player, baseball player, whoever because you get paired with guys that you are not used to or hanging around using a 7.

[Joe Buck]

What are you using?

[Bridget Todd]

A driver?

[Dan Patrick]

I don't know. What would you use? Maybe that's why Tony Romo's not joining us on the show. It's very. I mean, we spent.
