You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. Final hours on this Thursday. It's a meat Thursday. We add some extra meat from Heartland Steak Co. And you can go there. And by the way, take me up on this offer. Offer. Get two ribeyes on me with a purchase of $150 or more. Use the code. Football25. Man, I am limping towards the finish line. This is my Jordan flu game. I did something stupid yesterday. I got three shots. I got the COVID shot, I got flu shot, and then I got the shingles shot. If you're over 50, you're supposed to get these shingles shot. And I'm shot. I've got feels like I got the flu. You go in to get the flu shot. And then I. Man, this morning I came in, I'm like, I don't know if I didn't. If Paulie said, hey, I can get Ross Tucker. I said, go get Ross Tucker. I'm staying at home. I'm ready. Steaks. He would have been in.
Paul Seaton
But you know what? You know, it's good. I've always read that when you have the flu or you're feeling under the weather, a huge T bone steak from Heartland Steak Co. Is the perfect thing.
Dan Patrick
Filet mignon, grilled ribeyes, teriyaki pork chops, watermelon, arugula salad, corn on the cobbler. Who has it better than we do?
Marvin
Nobody.
Dan Patrick
There's a movement, though, for steak and eggs at some point during the week. I'll take it under advisement. I'll take it under consideration because I have to have somebody make the steak and eggs for everybody. But Dylan is doing the honors there. But my thanks to Heartland Steaks because they make it look real good and real easy. Yes, Paul.
Paul Seaton
I remember when I was younger, I'd go to diners and I'd see steak and eggs on the menu at like 1795. And I always think myself, you know, someday if I make it, I could just order steak and eggs. That'd be like a sign that you.
Dan Patrick
Can afford steak and eggs Sunday night JJ McCarthy makes his Sunday Night Football debut at home. The Vikings against Michael Penix Jr. III. The Falcons, the Vikings, Sunday, 7 Eastern on NBC. And Peacock. Maybe that's what I'll do in retirement. I'll just be a voiceover guy. Although they don't have that voiceover guy for movies anymore, do they now?
Paul
I mean, you watch a trailer now, though, man, is that cheesy. Like, he's a legend. Don't get me wrong. But when you watch a movie trailer now from back then when they used to do the In a World one man fighting for justice, you're like, why.
Dan Patrick
Did we watch these movies?
Paul
How did we fault?
Dan Patrick
Like, the trailers were awesome.
Paul
No, they're terrible.
Dan Patrick
They made every movie look great.
Paul Seaton
No, the gentleman's name was Don LaFontaine.
Dan Patrick
Yes.
Paul Seaton
He passed away in 2008.
Dan Patrick
Legend in a world. In a world.
Paul
Those trailers are terrible now, though.
Dan Patrick
I don't know, man. They made every movie look good. By the way, the website is heartlandstake.co.com yes, Todd.
Todd
Then they drag out like each individual.
Marvin
Word for like, don't go to the window. Window death, October 12th.
Paul
I'd go see that movie, actually.
Marvin
Window Jazz.
Dan Patrick
Does the window kill you every time.
Todd
Someone looks out the window? Like, they get their head off or they get shot in the face? It's just weird things happen at that window.
Dan Patrick
Don't.
Todd
Just don't go near that window.
Dan Patrick
Near the Window starts Friday at a theater near you. Yes, Marv.
Marvin
Yeah, that guy was so good. He fooled me to go seeing no Holds Barred starring Hulk Hogan. Go see no Holds Barred. Mom, can we please go see no Holds Bar?
Dan Patrick
Everybody's going to see no Holds Barred. David in Ohio leads us off this final hour. Nick Wright, our good buddy, will join us coming up in about 20 minutes from now. Hi, David. What's on your mind?
Caller
Hey, Dan. Great show today. You guys are talking about Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey's restaurant. I got the. I have a few menu items at Jerry Jones's restaurant here. Got the quarter century queso been sitting around since the last ring. I got the Drought burger Drive the Cowboys trophy case since 95. Owner, GM Nachos. Too many. Too many toppings because I can't let anyone else make the call. And Dan, this is my favorite one. The it's our year platter served during the regular season but never in February. Thank you.
Dan Patrick
Hey, David. David's been on a roll. Been on a roll. Todd came up with mock menu items from Patrick Mahomes Travis Kelsey restaurant that they're opening this weekend. And you had a couple of them that were good.
Todd
I did. I went one too many.
Dan Patrick
Well, there were too many about Taylor Swift.
Todd
Yes. I had tay tater tots.
Dan Patrick
Okay.
Todd
We had pork butkers.
Dan Patrick
Okay.
Todd
And one of the ones I think that hit was we are never ever getting baby back ribs together. I think you guys like that.
Dan Patrick
Yeah. I don't know. I'm assuming that Taylor Swift is going to be there for the soft opening.
Nick Wright
It's not like.
Dan Patrick
Look what you say.
Paul Seaton
No, Paul, I'm betting against. I'm taking the under.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, but she's got the game on Sunday. She would be going for the game. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Yeah.
Paul Seaton
I'm still taking it.
Dan Patrick
Her fiance is opening up a restaurant. She wants her. He went to her concert. She should be able to. She's not doing anything right now, I don't think. Yes, Todd.
Todd
Not pie in the face. And we kind of touched on it a little bit. But what's. What's the time frame here for the walking down the aisle? Assuming this isn't. It's going to be an actual marriage.
Dan Patrick
And not a.2 and a half years.
Todd
It's going to take that long.
Dan Patrick
Well, that's how much longer we have to do this show.
Todd
But I'm asking you how. How soon you think. I know we have two and a half years, but for them, we. What is an appropriate time for.
Dan Patrick
No, no, you can't. You can't be asking out of that. No. Because you should have taken a pie to the face when they got engaged. You should have.
Todd
Semantics. Semantics.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, you should have. So don't put, you know, time parameters on here that. Well, they got to get it done by, you know, next Super Bowl. No, we're not doing that.
Paul Seaton
Yes, Paul, there's been a number of air quote reports that it's this summer in Rhodey Rhode Island.
Dan Patrick
Okay. Okay. It's time to play in or out now. You're either in or you're out. Paul has the items for in or out.
Paul Seaton
Dan, we're gonna start with you. Then Marvin Seaton and Fritzi. The packers are the favorite now to win the NFC North.
Dan Patrick
Out.
Marvin
In.
Paul
I'm in.
Paul Seaton
In the Colts, Daniel Jones will win the comeback player of the year.
Dan Patrick
Dan. I'm in.
Marvin
Long overdue. I'm in.
Dan Patrick
How long?
Todd
I'm out out there hosting the Broncos Sunday. They'll come back down to earth a little bit.
Dan Patrick
Wow.
Paul Seaton
Smack talk. They'll use that in the locker room.
Todd
They should.
Paul Seaton
This is the year the Kansas City Chiefs miss The playoffs, Dan.
Dan Patrick
I'm out.
Marvin
Out.
Paul
Remember, that was one of my hot takes from this year.
Dan Patrick
Yes, it was.
Paul
I've said that several times now.
Dan Patrick
I'm sticking with it. Yeah, yeah.
Todd
Unfortunately, out for me.
Nick Wright
Okay.
Paul Seaton
This is a baseball one. I'd rather hit.400 for a season than hit 60 home runs this season, Dan.
Dan Patrick
I would rather hit.400, but that's not today's game. Like Aaron Judge, who's going to win the batting title probably at hitting.319. And it feels like we've had a few 60 homer guys. Well, been long, long, long, long time before we had. Since we had a.400 hitter. I'd say the 400.
Marvin
400.
Nick Wright
400.
Todd
Chicks dig the long ball, but also.400 for me.
Dan Patrick
Thank you.
Paul Seaton
Here we go. The Clippers are in big trouble. Damn.
Dan Patrick
Big trouble.
Paul Seaton
Not trouble.
Dan Patrick
Big trouble. I'm going to say out. I think they're in trouble. I don't think it's big.
Marvin
Yeah, they're not in big trouble. I'm out.
Paul
Yeah, I think I'm out, too.
Dan Patrick
I don't think they're in big trouble.
Todd
I'm out, too.
Paul Seaton
Do you think the commissioner will.
Dan Patrick
Poo.
Paul Seaton
Poo the story and try to pull a band aid before the season? Whatever punishment is, knock it out and move on to football?
Dan Patrick
Well, I don't know how aggressive they are with this because if this is my league, I'm the commissioner and Steve Ballmer is involved in something. Could be involved in something. You know, Commissioner, have you talked to Steve Ballmer? Have you talked to Kawhi? Have you talked to Pablo Torre? Is all this information available to you? Do you have investigators who are looking at. I mean, there's, there's enough there to launch an investigation from the NBA home office. But when the commissioner says, hey, I was unaware of this. Of course he was unaware of this. Why would they tell the commissioner, hey, by the way, Kawhi is going to get $28 million. Hey, let's run it by the commissioner before we do a cover up here.
Paul Seaton
That would be a new tactic.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Paul Seaton
All right, here we go. Three more. In or outs.
Dan Patrick
Okay, Bears.
Paul Seaton
Caleb Williams will be benched at some point this season due to poor play out. South Florida will beat Miami this weekend on the CW.
Dan Patrick
I'm in.
Marvin
I'm out.
Dan Patrick
Out. Okay. Out. Getting 17 and a half.
Paul Seaton
Last one. This might be easy. Lamar Jackson has absolutely nothing to apologize for.
Dan Patrick
He does. Yes, a little bit. Yeah, I. Look, we all would have done the same thing that he did. Maybe others would have Done even more than that. But you have to say, hey, I shouldn't go in. I remember talking to Vernon. Maxwell played with the Rockets, and Vernon was crazy, but he said, you know what? Somebody dropped the N word. And I went into the stands and he said, I didn't care. Certain guys are going to react and overreact, and they know they shouldn't. And Lamar knows that he shouldn't engage with fans. I have no problem what he did, but he knows, look, I got to handle this better. I'm the face of this franchise. So, yeah, a little bit of an apology. Whether it's a, you know, a full. Hey, heartfelt apology or just, okay, what do I have to do? They want you to apologize. Apologize? Yes. Just apologize? Yes. Todd.
Todd
I couldn't help but think, what if Charles Barkley was a football player in that instance, and someone decided to just biff him in the back of the head? What Charles Barkley would have done to that guy.
Dan Patrick
Did you say Biff him? Yeah.
Todd
You know, that was a phrase back in the day, slapping somebody. Biff him in the side of the head.
Dan Patrick
Was this back to the future Biff?
Todd
No, not named after him. But that's something that at least when I was in like junior high school and high school, like, you Biff somebody, you know, slap him the side of the head.
Dan Patrick
I don't remember biffing somebody.
Paul Seaton
Yeah, Paul, when you watch that TV show Batman back in the. It was in the 60s and 70 people would hit. Was it Adam West?
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Paul Seaton
They go, biff.
Dan Patrick
Okay.
Paul Seaton
Smash.
Dan Patrick
I still have this Batman thing up here that Adam west sent to me years ago. He autographed it. He sent me. I didn't know it's something Batman related, but I was like, all right. Well, that. That's awesome. Ryan in Arizona. Hi, Ry. What's on your mind today?
Caller
Hey, good Morning, Dan. I'm 58240.
Dan Patrick
Hey.
Caller
I just. With everything going on in this world and just. I love coming on to you guys show and just. This is my first time and just. Just. You just know how to lighten up the mood and just kind of close up this whole world. I love it. Hey, I have a question. My wife and I are getting ready to do our 14th anniversary for huge Bronco fans. And we're. I'm wondering, is it a bad anniversary gift to bring NFL involved, like as an anniversary gift more than just jewelry and whatever the gifts that you're supposed to get.
Dan Patrick
Is it a gift to each other?
Caller
It would be more of a gift. Me to her?
Dan Patrick
But she's. How about she buys you tickets, then you buy her jewelry?
Caller
No, I don't think she wants jewelry. So it'd be kind of more like, hey, let's save our money and let's go to the Raiders and the Broncos game. Or, hey, let's go get, you know, something fun like to do with the Broncos instead of, you know, just jewelry and flowers and all that fun stuff.
Dan Patrick
Oh, well, if she's all in on going to see a football game, then, yeah, problem solved.
Caller
So you think that would not be like a bad gift, something like that?
Dan Patrick
No, I would, I would get a, you know, a great restaurant reservation and I would, I would, you know, you'll. You'll do it, right? If, if she's into that and wants to go to the game. And then you get a nice restaurant, you get to hang out, and if there's no kids around and you get to just talk. Yes, Todd.
Todd
Broncos at Jets. October 12 Broadway. Fancy new York City restaurant. Go to that game. That's what you got to target.
Dan Patrick
Three, three day weekend, exactly a month.
Todd
To get it all figured out. It's a month and a day away, but you're gonna. The Broncos are rare trip to New York. You got to do it.
Dan Patrick
All right, well, there you go. Just making dreams come true. Now he's got to fly from Arizona. Yes, Paul.
Paul Seaton
Or wait for later in the season where they're like in Chicago or Green Bay. Right. Late December when it's really, really cold. Take her there.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, that would be great. Let's see. Good luck there. Right. Shuffles in Phoenix. High shuffles.
Caller
Good morning Dan and the Danettes. I don't know if you have done this, but did you guys have a name for your outdoor kitchen there at the headquarters?
Dan Patrick
I've been. I call it Traegerville.
Caller
I was thinking, based on you guys bringing up the 1587 and discussing restaurants one, my wife and I have our anniversary in about a week. We're gonna go to Shoeless in Phoenix. But I had a. I had a great idea. I think you could name it Low T. High C. Low T. High C. What do you think of that as the name of your new kitchen?
Dan Patrick
Low T's, High C's.
Caller
Testosterone. High cholesterol. Low T. High C. I like it. I think it's a great name.
Dan Patrick
All right, well, thank you. Shuffles. Yes, Todd, I stand corrected.
Todd
I'm looking at a 9:30 kickoff and I was wondering why that would be. 9:30am The Broncos face the jets at Tottenham Hotsburg Stadium.
Dan Patrick
Even better. Go. Cool thing to do.
Todd
It's just not New York, but yes, go see a game as part of the London package.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, that'd be great. Go over there, see a game. Festive. Walk around, see the sights, fall in love all over again. Right, Marvin? I love like you love, like you don't love love.
Marvin
A lot of people love their kids and they love their spouses, but they don't like them.
Dan Patrick
You have to like, you fall in love, but like is going to carry the rest of your. Your life. Yes, Mark.
Marvin
And I got that from my grandfather when I moved in with my now wife. He was like, oh, you know, do you like her? And I was like trying to be all, you know, davenaire. I, I love her. He goes, great. I didn't even ask you that. I asked if you liked her because guess what? This isn't. You go over for the weekend and you go home Sunday night or Monday morning. You with her all the time. You better like her.
Dan Patrick
That's true. Yeah. Sometimes, you know, when the kids are out of the house or during COVID and you're just sitting there at the kitchen table and you don't even know what to say, it's quiet all of a sudden. But, you know, even the silence is okay because that shows that you understand each other, that you don't want to force anything. But yeah, probably the only thing good out of COVID was that I got to spend a lot of time with my wife again and fall back in love again. Yeah, okay, I said it. Yeah, Paul.
Paul Seaton
But when it's quiet and you say, is everything okay? And she goes, oh, yeah, fine. Yeah, that fine is the.
Dan Patrick
It's never good to say, is everything okay? No. Something wrong? No. Okay. Yes, Mark.
Marvin
Or when your wife says, go ahead, do whatever you want, don't do whatever you want when she says that, do that.

Good buddy Nick Wright host of First Things first on Fox Sports 1 and what's Right with Nick Wright on YouTube wherever you your podcast going to be on the road going to Kansas City going to do the show on Friday from Kansas City and good to see Nick again. Are we. Are we entering must win situation time this weekend for Philly because the Chiefs.
Nick Wright
Are down their top two weapons. Maybe it'd be really embarrassing for the Eagles with the NFL. You know Having the first ever suspension where you get to play and the Chiefs are down their top two guys. And the last time Philly was in Kansas City, Nick Sirianni walked off the field mother effing the fans. To lose that game against a Chiefs team that, listen, I'm just a blind dopey homer. But everyone that can see clearly obviously has seen, you know, the league has passed Kansas City by now. It was just two games ago that the Chiefs were playing for an opportunity to be the greatest team in the history of the sport. But a lot's changed in those two games. So yeah, I mean it'd be mortifying especially after how Philly looked in week one. Yeah, they better win.
Dan Patrick
But more must win. Lions or Chiefs?
Nick Wright
Oh, lot light. So here's. I'm glad you brought that up because I think, tell me if you think this fair. There were five teams going into the season that everyone thought were going to be good again. Bills, Ravens, Chiefs, Lions, Eagles. Like those were the five kind of like prestige teams going into the season. Every year at least one of the teams that is consensus gonna be good has the year from hell or falls off. Last year it was the Niners. The year before it was the Bengals. Like the, the Bengals coming off back to back AFC championship games. That was when Burrow came in hurt and they missed playoffs. I think one of those teams this year it'll happen again. Now, again, some people think it's Kansas City. I think there's way more concern in Detroit. I think the loss of the coordinators, I think the fact that we have seen Jared Goff multiple times in his career be excellent and multiple times in his career go pumpkin mode. Particularly if he doesn't have the stability of the interior of that offensive line, which I think is a problem for them. So no, I think Detroit is potentially up against it. Like I think Detroit could be in real trouble. I, I think Kansas City has an infrastructure and still the best quarterback and the best coach in football. And, and here's the thing. 2021, coming off getting blown out in the super bowl, The Chiefs started 3 and 4 and got blown out by the Titans and the Bills. The only two regular season blowouts mom's career, they end up in the nf. In the AFC championship game two years ago, the Chiefs had a stretch late in the year where they lost five of eight and four of six in the stretch run, they ended up winning the Super Bowl. So I just think the Chiefs aren't going to be rattled even if they lose this weekend.
Dan Patrick
How many Teams do you look at how they win a game? Not that they win a game, but did they like the Bengals, they won.
Nick Wright
The game, but that's the worst win in NFL history.
Dan Patrick
I mean that's supposed to be a high powered offense. So I don't know if they get a hall pass that hey, you won the game and that's a divisional game. I don't know how many other teams that you look at and say how did you win the game? Not just you won the game.
Nick Wright
So I think that you can graduate to a place where style points don't matter anymore. I think Brady's Patriots did it where we would always, it felt like for a long time in like the 2010s there was a lot of yeah, they won but dot dot, dot. But it was, I think partially and I was, and I regret now my own commentary about that because now that's what was done to my team all last year. And it infuriated me. I was like, you gotta be kidding me. They win Super Bowls, they win games and you're like. But it didn't make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. So I'm a little hypocritical about that I will admit. But if you are not a proven minted champion, how you look in winning I think matters. And I'll use Philadelphia as an example. In a weird way, Philadelphia coming off the super bowl loss that next year, they started 101 but they it did not look good and it seemed like something was wrong. And the Eagles even put voice we need to be better. And then bang, they absolutely fall apart at the end of the year. Cincinnati all off season. We're going to get off to a better start. We're going to get off to a better start. They both sides of the ball look terrible. Like it what the defense, I know they only allowed 16 points. Joe Flacco moved the ball, they missed kicks, they had two interceptions go off Browns players hands which is why they were picked and Cincinnati had seven second half yards. I'm going to bring up the, the Bills in this regard. If you're a Bills fan going into the year, Dan, you knew correctly. We have a superhero at quarterback. He can single handedly win us any game. But the reason we haven't been able to get over the top is because against the best quarterbacks in the biggest spots, our defense hasn't produced and seeing the defense just get shredded for 55 minutes. If you're a Bills fan, you're thrilled you won the tiebreaker, all of it. But in the Back of your mind, you're like, oh, boy. Like, is that sustainable? Like, and in Philly week one again at week one's weird before that weather delay, I thought that Philly defense looked as bad as it's looked in years. And it's just like a minor concern. Obviously, the Chiefs didn't get the win. I thought the Chiefs defense looked as bad as it's looked in five years in that game. So there was. Of those five teams that I said that everybody expected to be good. I don't think any of them feel great about week one. Obviously, Baltimore lost. Baltimore oddly played the best and then. And then created a way to lose as they are.
Dan Patrick
Want to do talking to Nick Wright, host of First Things first on Fox Sports 1 and what's Right with Nick Wright on YouTube. Wherever you get your podcast, is it the grand opening of the steakhouse, the restaurant 1587 in Kansas City with Mahomes and Kelsey? Is that this weekend?
Nick Wright
Yeah, they're doing like a. A premiere or invite starting today and going through Sunday, we are doing first things first. You know, I. I have negotiated with FS1 that once a year we do a show in Kansas City, and that wasn't really much of a. It wasn't a tough negotiation because they. Because it's like, okay, yeah, because we always go to wherever the super bowl parade is, so, you know, we're already gonna be there. Weirdest thing ever happened in calendar 2025. They held the super bowl parade in Philadelphia. Like, I don't know. So years almost up, and so we needed to, you know, check that contractual box. So we're going. I'm flying out today. We're doing our show live from Kansas City tomorrow. And as you know, you know, I'm just the luckiest man in the world, as it happens. That will allow me Friday night to see my good friend Patrick and others at the opening of the steakhouse as I, you know, stop by as an invited guest.
Dan Patrick
What if the food isn't good?
Nick Wright
It's Kansas City Steakhouse.
Dan Patrick
Well, I know, but let's, you know, would you be honest and say, well.
Nick Wright
Here'S the Yes, I would. At least privately. I wouldn't. I wouldn't publicly pan my friend's restaurant. But, like, I would privately be like, hey, this is, you know, maybe tighten this up. But it's not like, you know, price fix, French joint. It's not an omakase sushi spot. It's a Kansas City steakhouse. Like, it is very, very difficult to not have that be good. Like, Good like steakhouses are. They don't have as high of a ceiling as like the greatest restaurants in the world, but the ceiling is good, is really good and the floor is. I enjoyed that. So I, I'm not worried about it.
Dan Patrick
Okay. You can sit at Mahomes, his table or Kelsey's table. Boy, oh boy, oh boy.
Nick Wright
Their. Their spouses are soon to be here with them.
Dan Patrick
Yep.
Nick Wright
Am I drinking?
Dan Patrick
I hope.
Nick Wright
I'm gonna hang with Patrick.
Dan Patrick
I.
Nick Wright
The. I'm gonna like I have. I've been lucky enough that I. Years back during I, you know, all the super bowl celebrations run together in your head. Spent a night drinking with Travis and it was all you could have hoped for and more, to be totally honest with you. But I also feel like, because I'm not. I don't know enough about Taylor Swift's discography story, all of that, and I would feel uneasy. I would feel like I'm gonna screw something up here. And I wouldn't worry about that with Patrick and Brittany. So.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, first class seat. Bandwagon. Packers or Chargers right now?
Nick Wright
Oh, the charge.
Dan Patrick
Here's the thing.
Nick Wright
I know about the Chargers. They're gonna be the Chargers.
Dan Patrick
I. I was just talking about right now after that.
Nick Wright
No, the Packers.
Dan Patrick
Okay.
Nick Wright
I thought the, I thought that's the right two picks though, Dan. Those were. If we were just grading week one performances, those were the two best week one performances. But I think the packers. And I was so happy that Micah made such an impact because I was so disgusted, truly disgusted. Dan, with our colleagues in the media when we have talked more Cowboys. Not you guys. You guys are an erudite show. Like, listen, whatever the story of the day is, we're going to do. Yes, us, us Neanderthals, we're talking Cowboys a lot. We've talked more Cowboys in the last four years and more might than any other team and more Micah Parsons than any defensive player in football. And not in a single segment did any analyst on any network have this take. You know, I accept he's a great pass rusher, but if you look at his run stuff rate, really, is he overrated? And then Jerry Jones loses a negotiation, trades him and says, well, we were trying to stop the run. And for about a week the whole media had a fever dream where it was like, Micah Parsons, is he good? Differing opinions. Like the Dan Campbell before the game says, like, ah, we were just get glad Kenny Clark got off the team. And I like and know Kenny Clark and Kenny Clark. Dan is such a good player. He's a Good enough player that if you say, I'll give you Kenny Clark and two first round picks, you can get a player like Micah Parsons. So like, I was really happy that Micah made the impact he did because he deserved to.
Dan Patrick
Before I let you go, Pablo Torre doing these, this deep dive on the Clippers, how do you think this, this ends?
Nick Wright
Listen, I, I know Pablo and Pablo, listen, this is really good journalism, okay. And he deserves credit. And I'm glad someone is doing it. Let me say that on the front end, I also think that we have, there have been a couple of these that if they were old school, long form, like print journalism, magazine pieces, it might have been like, hey, we don't quite have it yet. We've like, you're probably right and this is a lot there, but we need one more piece. And because of that, from what I've seen, I think the NBA will be able to not fully look the other way. But bad boys. Don't you, don't you, don't you make me turn this car around. But we'll still go to Disney World. And so, and I know that Pablo has gotten a little mad at people who I think have had that opinion. It's not doubting the journalism or the work. It's more doubting whether or not where the NBA is going to set the burden of proof to napalm a team. Because, and I, and I want to add, Can I add just what my theory on it is?
Dan Patrick
Sure.
Nick Wright
Just I, I've done no, I've done no research other than listen to Pablo's stuff and try to learn about it. But I obviously not doing individual research on it because I thought the point Cuban made was the exact point that I initially thought of, which is.
Dan Patrick
If.
Nick Wright
Ballmer were involved, he wouldn't let the company go to bankruptcy. Right. Like, he would just, he, he's not an idiot. He would know that this could come out. He's the fifth richest person in the world. He would find a way to, you know, save the company. But that doesn't. So my working theory is this. It was cap circumvention, The Clippers were involved, but it was someone beneath Ballmer who didn't have the ability to bail out the company and didn't feel comfortable going to Steve and being like, so here's the thing, we did a thing and I'm gonna need three to $400 million to fix it. And that's how it came out. I don't, that's just my, it's just my gut and I think it's really good. Really good work. Pablo's done. But I, I. The moment the story came out, I set the penalty the over under at one and a half second round picks and I'll stay there, which means the NBA is going to let this one slide.
Dan Patrick
Safe travels to Kansas City. Good to talk to you. Have fun this weekend.
Nick Wright
Thank you so much. Appreciate it. I loved your guys livestream Thursday night.
Dan Patrick
Are you gonna join us?
Nick Wright
Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna come join you. How, where is that?
Dan Patrick
We just decided to do it because Shay loves the cowboys and he's a mess and we thought.
Nick Wright
No, but geographically, where is it located?
Dan Patrick
Right out. It's in our grilling area.
Nick Wright
And that's 90 minutes from the city.
Dan Patrick
Yeah. From where you live? Yeah.
Nick Wright
You'll send me a nice car, right?
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I'll send, I'll send one of my guys to pick you up.
Nick Wright
That doesn't sound like a fun ride. Maybe Marvin.
Dan Patrick
Marvin, would you go pick up Nick Wright?
Nick Wright
No, I'm not asking Marvin to drive me. I'm simply saying of if I have to be in a car with anyone in your crew for 90 minutes. Marvin's my first draft pick.
Dan Patrick
Okay.
Marvin
So I'll pick you up at the corner 145th and Broadway. Meet you there. We'll go to Milford.
Nick Wright
That's six blocks from my house, bro. We can do that. All right, talk to you guys later.
Dan Patrick
Nick Wright. Yeah, I'm going to have him come up and we do a watch party like we did with Shay and Irving and Marvin was there. Paulie did a drive by as well. So we might do that on a Sunday night. And once again, I can't stream it live because everybody's like, why don't you stream? And I go, I cannot trust Shay. I just can't.
Paul
But it's kind of the, the fun of it.

One of those random stats Stat of the day brought to you by Panini America. Seattle Mariners have played 20 extra inning games this season. They played 13 games of 11 or more innings this year and last night they ended up winning in extra innings. Last call for phone calls. What we learn what's in store tomorrow. I have a stat of the day and it's one of my favorite stats of the day ever.
Paul Seaton
Ever.
Dan Patrick
This day in sports history. Do you I'll let you do this day in sports history because normally Fritzi takes your I mean that's your segment.
Paul Seaton
Steals.
Dan Patrick
Yes he yes he does. But if you have some this day in sports I have one and then.
Paul Seaton
You'Re gonna put a hammer on it.
Dan Patrick
I this is one of my favorite favorite this day in sports history stats ever.
Paul Seaton
I'll give a couple okay Pete Rose of the Reds hit 4,192 to break the record of Ty Cobb. This day in 1985 of Eric Sha.
Dan Patrick
Yep.
Paul Seaton
And 1999, Brett Favre and Robert Brooks. The packers completed a 99 yard touchdown against the Chicago Bears to tie an NFL record. Shocker.
Dan Patrick
All right, here you go. 1966. Johnny becomes the first New York Yankee to hit a home run in his first major league at bat. His second home run came in his final major league at bat in 1969. Start of the day, start of the day. Start of the day. Start of the day. This is the start of the day. That amazing first at bat lasted bat. You hit a home run and no home runs in between. Do you have the stats on Johnny Miller of the Yankees?
Paul Seaton
Yeah, he played a year with the Yankees, then went back to the minors for a few years and then got called up by the Dodgers in 69. So he played parts of two seasons for the Yankees and the Dodgers.
Dan Patrick
The first combined no hitter in National League history on this day. And I didn't realize that it was that late. 1991. Kent Merker, Mark Wallers and Alejandro Pena. They tossed the first combined no hitter in National League history. 1991.
Paul Seaton
But we're anti combined no hitter. A no hitter is possessed by a person. A person.
Dan Patrick
I'm not that much of a stickler if, you know, hit somebody well, you know, are we going to have a pitcher throw a no hitter now or is it going to be pitchers that throw a no hitter? David in Phoenix. Hey, David, what's on your mind?
Caller
Hey, Dan. First off, thanks for playing hurt today. Your commitment to excellence is second to none. Paul schemes once again. Five innings pitched, two hits, no walks, eight strikeouts, no decision.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, Amazing. Thank you, David. It's. I mean it, it's a shame, you know, you want to have somebody rewarded for all this great work, but he.

Caller
No, I had a question for you, Dan. Okay, so Lamar Jackson in the afc, Josh Allen in the afc. Do we feel like it's one of their years since that idea and the Chiefs aren't playing like they usually play?
Dan Patrick
Well, it's only been one week.
Paul
I'm so happy I snuck out of class.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, just for that too.
Paul
I'm so happy.
Dan Patrick
You know what? Stay in School. Noah, stay in school. I don't know. It feels like they're a year. Every year these guys are winning MVPs. They're going to put up incredible numbers. Mahomes is not going to put up incredible numbers. Burrow probably will put up incredible numbers and choose from those guys. I mean the AFC's got some quarterbacks. They got. Yes, Todd.
Todd
Todd and Milford. Do you consider the Ravens and Bills two of the better teams in the American Football Conference?
Dan Patrick
Easy. Wow, Todd, what's that all about?
Todd
Would you consider them two of the top five teams in the aft?
Dan Patrick
