- [03:30]
Bobby Bones
Well, let me update you real quick on the percentage of people that are rooting for the Eagles because that is going significantly in one direction. It's actually getting closer to even rebounding a little bit. It's now a 54% Eagles.
- [03:46]
Dan Patrick
Okay, that's pretty interesting. The NFL honors last night Josh Allen, mvp, which is surprising. I gave you a stat earlier in the show. I'll bring it back. He got the MVP. He's the first player in 21 years to win the MVP without being selected. First team all probably had 27 of the 50 first place votes. Lamar Jackson had 23 first place votes and that's the smallest difference between first and second since Peyton Manning and Steve McNair declared co MVPs with 16 first place votes each back in 2003. Also Kevin O'Connell, coach of the year and that's the second 14 win season in the last three years. The second Vikings coach to win the award. The other coach of course, the great Bud Grant that was back in 1969. Some NBA stuff. Last night LeBron had 42 and 17. I think he's the oldest to get 40 and the youngest to get 40 in NBA history. He's going to have all the records when it's all said and done. But at age 40 the oldest player to have a 3015 game as well. Now five games with 30 or more points since turning 40. That ties in with Michael Jordan as well. Anthony Edwards went for 49 on the Bulls last night and the Joker went for 28:12 and 10. So he has 24 triple doubles. That's the most by any player prior to the all star break. That was Russell Westbrook back in 2018. Didn't he win the MVP that year?
- [05:17]
Josh Jacobs
He did.
- [05:18]
Bobby Bones
As a six seed.
- [05:20]
Dan Patrick
As a sixth seed, yep. Oh, they weren't very good.
- [05:23]
Bobby Bones
But he got a triple double, so they gave it to him.
- [05:25]
Dan Patrick
Oh, I know that. It made it easy for the voters. They go, he averaged a triple double. Now it feels like everybody is sort of, you know, got the chance. How many triple doubles did. 91 players have had triple doubles so far.
- [05:37]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I think Malachi Flynn got one too.
- [05:39]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Yes.
- [05:40]
Bobby Bones
Paulie, what if we make it tougher? And now it's got to be a triple dozen.
- [05:43]
Dan Patrick
Triple dozen.
- [05:44]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Now it's a more of an accomplishment, just a touch more. But I bet that would you have.
- [05:49]
Dan Patrick
To have at least 12 assists and 12 rebounds or you have 12.
- [05:52]
Bobby Bones
12.
- [05:53]
Josh Jacobs
12.
- [05:53]
Dan Patrick
12 or more.
- [05:54]
Bobby Bones
Trip does mark.
- [05:56]
Dan Patrick
Okay. All right, we'll get phone calls. Coming up, let's bring in Josh Jacobs, the Green Bay packers running back. I'm looking at what he did this past season. 1300 yards, 15 touchdowns, first team all pro. He's a three time pro bowler, NFL rushing yards leader. In 2022, he was all rookie, won a national championship at Alabama. So there's a lot of stuff there. Wow, that's a damn good. You look ready to go. Come on out, Josh. All right, Josh looks like he's ready to go. He's got his. He brought his shoulder pads here as well. You are ready for the game. Those are the X Tech shoulder pads. So the. You'll talk about the technology there. This is the 13th year that number one shoulder pads in the NFL in division one football. So. And you use those?
- [06:44]
Josh Jacobs
Yeah, I use those. Man XTech Since I came in, probably my junior year of college, reached out to me and let me try it out. I went over, flew over to the headquarters, got to see, you know, what they all, what they all was about. And then I mean, I think 90% of the guys in the NFL right now wear them. All the elite college guys wear them. I mean if you just look last year in the league guys that you brought up, Josh Allen, pass hurtain, my favorite linebacker, Fred Warner, all of these guys wear this for me. They light, you know, you don't feel anything. And I haven't had any injuries from the shoulder or anything since I've since wearing them. So I'm gonna wear them my whole.
- [07:24]
Dan Patrick
Career so you can be friends with a Linebacker Fred Warner, bro.
- [07:28]
Josh Jacobs
I ain't a lot.
- [07:29]
Bobby Bones
He.
- [07:29]
Josh Jacobs
It's more of a respect thing. He's. He's the best. He's the best I've ever been against.
- [07:34]
Dan Patrick
What makes him so great?
- [07:36]
Josh Jacobs
His instincts, I would say. How fast he is and how physical he is. And he doesn't take a playoff. Like, he's one of them guys that. He's the leader of that defense for sure.
- [07:46]
Dan Patrick
Okay, but who's the other guy? Like, when you get to the line of scrimmage, you know you're getting the ball.
- [07:51]
Josh Jacobs
Yeah.
- [07:52]
Dan Patrick
Let's say Jalen Carter's there.
- [07:53]
Josh Jacobs
Yeah.
- [07:53]
Dan Patrick
Or let's say. I don't know who else you would go, where is he? How many players do you go, where is that guy?
- [08:01]
Josh Jacobs
I would say most of the time, I never look at the defensive line. Never. You don't care when I'm running the ball, I manipulate them. I don't really. I don't really too much look at them. So I look at the linebackers and safeties, and it's only a few safeties to me that actually want that type of. Type of smoke. So, I mean, I like. I like Buddha Baker. He's one of them guys. He'll hit you wherever he's around the ball every play. He's one of them guys. He's gonna come down, he's trigger fast. He's gonna make a play. Brian Branch is low key the same way, too. So those guys got my respect. A lot of people just, okay, so.
- [08:35]
Dan Patrick
Those defense, their defensive backs, where you go, don't even. Don't even bother. Yeah, no, it's not even.
- [08:40]
Josh Jacobs
No. You can look at the eyes like.
- [08:41]
Dan Patrick
That, but you don't do, like, Derek Henry. Derek Henry is like, get out of here. And like, you know, knocks him to the sidelines there.
- [08:49]
Josh Jacobs
Yeah. See, I try them. I always try to run them over early because I always notice either two things that happen. Either they gonna sit and catch the next time or they gonna shoot low. So I kind of just like, yeah, we set the tone.
- [09:00]
Dan Patrick
What do you mean? Shoot and catch?
- [09:02]
Josh Jacobs
Like they're sitting. Catch like they literally stop their feet and wait for it and secure the tackle, or they'll literally just dive at your legs. So, like, it's either or. So, like, basically, you run them over early. You can set up the juke or you set up your other moves later.
- [09:15]
Dan Patrick
But what do you think of that DB who goes for your legs?
- [09:17]
Josh Jacobs
I think he's. I think he's soft, but I understand.
- [09:22]
Dan Patrick
Give me. Give me the Defensive back, though. That's soft. That did that to you.
- [09:27]
Josh Jacobs
Almost all.
- [09:32]
Dan Patrick
You got. The tattoos. Anything of significance there?
- [09:36]
Josh Jacobs
Yeah. So this one right here. So fun fact. Everything on the left side of my body is basically the tattoos I feel like is more of an importance. All of my tattoos have meanings, but it's more of an importance because they say the left veins run to your heart first. So, like, I got, like, my family members, my. Like, my kids, my grandma, stuff like that on the left side.
- [09:57]
Dan Patrick
No goofy tattoos?
- [09:59]
Josh Jacobs
Nah.
- [10:00]
Dan Patrick
And don't get a woman's name tattooed.
- [10:03]
Josh Jacobs
No, no, no. Can't do it.
- [10:04]
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
- [10:05]
Josh Jacobs
Yeah.
- [10:07]
Dan Patrick
You're comfortable wearing that bracelet out there, that. There's a lot going on there?
- [10:11]
Josh Jacobs
Yeah, I mean, I spend. I spend a lot of time out here. I'm used to, like, I can get around this city without GPS and all of that. Like, my roommate in college was Irv Smith, tight end. He's from New Orleans. So, like, every holiday or break or anything I had, I always came out here because going home to Oklahoma was too far. So, like.
- [10:29]
Dan Patrick
And Bo boy.
- [10:32]
Josh Jacobs
So, like, we always used to come out here, and then, like, right when the, like, spring got over with or the season was over, where we got done with training, it was always like, Mardi Gras season. So we used to always call, like, the half of the whole team used to always come back and come here.
- [10:46]
Dan Patrick
So you imagine if you'd gone to LSU instead of Alabama?
- [10:49]
Josh Jacobs
Nah, I don't like them colors.
- [10:52]
Dan Patrick
Oh, you don't, but you would have fun.
- [10:54]
Josh Jacobs
It would have fun for sure.
- [10:56]
Dan Patrick
How did. How did Coach Saban close you?
- [10:59]
Josh Jacobs
Man, the crazy thing is, so I didn't. I didn't have any stars coming out from high school. And so, like, it's funny because Saban actually just told the story probably, like, two weeks ago. I've never. I've never told the story, but I didn't have any stars. So one day I'm at basketball practice, and Burton Burns, he's actually from Louisiana, he comes out and he. He watches me hoop. And he was like, man, like, I'm not even supposed. He told me. He said, man, I'm not even supposed to be here. Like, he said, I. Some people told me about you at another school I was visiting. I decided to make a stop. He was like, I was gonna be here for, like, five minutes, end up staying for, like, two hours. Had a conversation. And then when I took my visit and I sat down with Saban, I think the thing that sold me the most was we never talked about Football. He. All he. The only thing he talked to me about was how he could make me a better person and how he can grow me as a man and set me up for positions to have to be secure when I'm done playing a game. And that's the thing that sold me the most.
- [12:01]
Dan Patrick
And you, of course, validated the deez nuts. You gave us the first report years ago. Like, whenever we bring anybody from Alabama, I had Bryce Young on. I go, deez nuts. And he started giggling, and I said, coach Saban, you know, he's. He did authenticate it. I did ask Coach Saban. I said, you say d's nuts? He goes, yeah, yeah. I'd say decent.
- [12:26]
Josh Jacobs
Yeah, man. People don't give him a lot of credit for how funny he really is.
- [12:30]
Dan Patrick
Well, we're seeing him on TV now, and that personality is coming out. Yeah.
- [12:33]
Josh Jacobs
Facts.
- [12:33]
Dan Patrick
But Bryce said if he said these nuts, that was a good thing.
- [12:37]
Josh Jacobs
Yeah.
- [12:37]
Dan Patrick
Like he was in a good mood.
- [12:39]
Josh Jacobs
Yeah, definitely. I would say. I would say if he joked around with you, then, one, he liked you. And then, two, he was definitely in a good mood that day.
- [12:46]
Dan Patrick
What was it like when he was not in a good mood?
- [12:49]
Josh Jacobs
I think I was only on his bad side maybe one time. Like, I was one of them people. Like, I'd never miss workouts. I, like, never missed class. Like, I kind of, like, did everything the right way. I remember one game we had bumped heads a little bit. It was actually my junior year. It was against Ole Miss. I had got, like, a ton in penalty after I scored. So, you know, he. He got. He laid into me, and I was like, okay, so, you know, you got to eat that. And then he came back and laid into me again, like, probably like a drive or two later. And, like, I got up and we kind of, like, went back and forth. And then after. After that, me and him became, like, best friends. So it was crazy. I think one thing about Saban, he. He's so used to people walking on eggshells around him that anybody that has the, I guess, the guts to stand up to him, he kind of, like, respects it in a different level.
- [13:38]
Dan Patrick
He's Josh Jacobs. He's the Green Bay packers running back. And joining us on behalf of X Tech shoulder pads, the Latest in technology. 13 years, the number one pad and pro in division one. How would you sum up Saquon Barkley's season?
- [13:54]
Josh Jacobs
Man, I mean, he had an electric season. You know, obviously, you know, they have a really good team over there. He has probably the greatest offensive line and you know, in football this year.
- [14:04]
Dan Patrick
What'S he do different? What you do better than you?
- [14:07]
Josh Jacobs
I say he. That his top end speed for sure. Top end speed. He'd be sliding. And he just does. Like, you could tell he just looks like he's having fun. Like he's just creating. Like when you in that zone, it's like. I feel like you just create and it looks like he's in that zone a lot.
- [14:22]
Dan Patrick
What's that feeling like when you're in the zone as a running back?
- [14:25]
Josh Jacobs
For me, for me, everything slows down. It almost kind of feels like you moving in slow motion. Everything. Like I can. Only thing I can hear is myself, breathe. Like, literally. It's weird. Like, but. And it feels like every play like you about to score, every play you touch the ball.
- [14:42]
Dan Patrick
Your welcome to the NFL moment was what?
- [14:45]
Josh Jacobs
Welcome to the NFL. Probably my rookie year, we played the Vikings at the bank and that was the year that they had like, I think everybody on their defense played together for like three or four years. And I remember like my first, second and third option was all gone. I'm like, where do you want me to go? That was the first time I ever felt like, bruh, I, I cannot do, I cannot do anything.
- [15:11]
Dan Patrick
You gotta help me here.
- [15:13]
Josh Jacobs
Yeah, that was good.
- [15:14]
Dan Patrick
And, and so they roughed you up?
- [15:16]
Josh Jacobs
Yeah, they definitely roughed me up. I was like, okay, I, I understood it now. Like, the, the thought process, the, you know, the mentality that it took and all of those things. I was like, yeah, they legit.
- [15:26]
Dan Patrick
But did they welcome you to the end? Like, did they say stuff to you, like the opposition?
- [15:31]
Josh Jacobs
See, people always try to be my friend in the game. It's not too many people that just come up and like, we go back and forth because I'll tell people, like, man, please do not turn me up. Please, please do not turn me up. Because I was really, you know, I'm. I'm going about my business. But like, don't bring it, don't bring it out.
- [15:49]
Dan Patrick
Okay, but what would make you mad where you do turn it up?
- [15:53]
Josh Jacobs
Like, I remember like last year, right? So I had got like an 8 yard gain and the dude made a tackle and he started celebrating. I'm like, that's a loss for you. Like, what are we talking about? Like, that's a loss. So, like, stuff like that. Like I said, people don't get too crazy. Crazy with me. For real.
- [16:11]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I guess I, you know, but. But it's just like some of these other running back, Derek Henry, I'm not gonna make it mad.
- [16:17]
Josh Jacobs
Yeah.
- [16:17]
Dan Patrick
Plus he's, he's as big as defensive lineman.
- [16:21]
Josh Jacobs
Yeah, he's. I tell people all the time he's a running back in the defensive ends body for sure.
- [16:27]
Dan Patrick
But he's a Hall of Famer right now.
- [16:28]
Josh Jacobs
Oh yeah, most definitely.
- [16:29]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Did you want to play another position when you were growing up?
- [16:33]
Josh Jacobs
So I, coming out of high school I had offers from like TCU for db. So like I play, I played defense. I was also 180 at the time, so like I was moving a lot, a lot better. But I couldn't see myself playing defense. I always wanted people, I always wanted to be the guy that like make the plays and you know, set the tone and things like that. So don't you want to be that.
- [16:58]
Dan Patrick
Guy like Honey Badger or somebody and just hit somebody?
- [17:01]
Josh Jacobs
It just seems so boring though. Like that's the thing. Like defense, like if I'm playing corner, I really don't like, you know, you only make a play when the ball come your way, like. But I feel like you can create more, you have more creativity, you know, when you touching the ball and you getting it a lot.
- [17:18]
Dan Patrick
Do you care who wins Sunday?
- [17:20]
Josh Jacobs
Nah, not really.
- [17:21]
Dan Patrick
Are you going to watch the game?
- [17:22]
Josh Jacobs
Nah. Not going to watch the game? Nah. I couldn't tell you the last Super Bowl I watched, last Super Bowl I watched was probably like middle school, honestly. Yeah. So I couldn't, I couldn't tell you. But obviously I got a lot of teammates that's on the Eagles, so I'm like rooting for them. But like at the same time I played against Patrick Mahomes twice basically my whole career and I wouldn't bet against them.
- [17:44]
Dan Patrick
What was Mahomes like when he was at Texas Tech?
- [17:48]
Josh Jacobs
He was a dog. He was a dog.
- [17:50]
Dan Patrick
But you knew that he would like I thought he was. I didn't know he'd be this. Yeah. But I, I knew he was entertaining.
- [17:55]
Josh Jacobs
Yeah. I remember seeing a lot about him and I'm like, Texas Tech. Like he was the only reason why I knew who Texas Tech was really. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie.
- [18:05]
Dan Patrick
It's great to see you. And Once again it's XTech. The X Tech pads. So it's the letter X. And then in tech pads.com and you can check out these shoulder pads that can make you run just like Josh Jacobs does.
- [18:19]
Josh Jacobs
Yeah, I, I mean I brought an extra pair just in case anybody want to line it up with me, you.
- [18:23]
Bobby Bones
Know what I'm saying?
- [18:24]
Dan Patrick
Right there during the commercial break, Paulie had. He likes to take on people. It doesn't go well for Paulie.
- [18:34]
Bobby Bones
You don't want any of this job. No, you don't.
- [18:36]
Dan Patrick
No, you don't.
- [18:37]
Bobby Bones
I'll take the glasses off.
- [18:38]
Dan Patrick
By the way, Chicago Bears fan.
- [18:43]
Josh Jacobs
We it's the Bears. I think they have a really good team. But, you know, it all starts with the pack.
- [18:51]
Dan Patrick
Well, does it start with the pack? With the Lions?
- [18:55]
Josh Jacobs
I mean, the Lions had a good like, what year or two. But I mean, if you look at the last 10, 12 years, it's the pack for sure.
- [19:02]
Dan Patrick
I think Vikings pretty good, too. Do you shovel your own snow in Green Bay?
- [19:10]
Josh Jacobs
No.
- [19:10]
Dan Patrick
Okay.
- [19:11]
Josh Jacobs
Yeah. Yeah. No, yeah. It actually only snowed maybe twice last year.
- [19:16]
Dan Patrick
But it doesn't snow in Oklahoma, does it?
- [19:19]
Josh Jacobs
Sometimes.
- [19:20]
Dan Patrick
Okay.
- [19:20]
Josh Jacobs
Sometimes. Yeah.
- [19:22]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. You got to get used to that cold, though. It's tough to get used to that cold.
- [19:26]
Josh Jacobs
Yeah. I mean, it's not that bad because we practice in it, but when it's the days that it's wet, it's like, yeah. Nah.

We'll have plenty of folks join us, Current players, some of my former teammates, hall of Famers. And wait till you see some of the connections that Julie has. She has quite the Rolodex.

Dan Patrick
Wherever you get your podcasts that escalated quickly. If you're familiar with the Oklahoma drill, that's where you have two players and they're lying down on the ground, and then their heads are, I don't know, a couple of feet apart, and they're faced in opposite directions, and then all of a sudden you go, you know, set, hut. They get up, and then they go at each other and either try to run by or they try to tackle. So Josh Jacobs was kind enough to put on shoulder pads. X Tech shoulder pads. Paulie. And they brought an extra pair. And Paulie goes, hey, I'd kind of like a piece of Josh Jacobs. And I go, are you sure? So if you're watching on Peacock now, that's slow motion, because in real time, real speed. It was over real quick, and Paulie got banged up a little bit there. Yeah, that's. Yeah. Paul, you got a rug burn.
- [26:58]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's from the. The. What do you call it? The camera. I hit the camera base. I. I jumped your call because I'm like, maybe I can get up just before Josh is ready. He lifted me like a child and dropped me hard.
- [27:10]
Dan Patrick
I know. Well, you said you wanted. You normally do this every super bowl, where you go, you know, Clay Matthews is in here. I'm going to take a shot. Remember Michael? Well, I know you remember Michael Strahan in Dallas. Yeah, he kind of drove you over a railing.
- [27:25]
Bobby Bones
This was harder than that because Josh dropped me on the floor, and that's a hard floor. But that was. As a Bears fan, that was a thrill.
- [27:30]
Dan Patrick
Dang. Yeah. When he found out you were a Bears fan, it was like, oh, maybe a little extra sauce there. Well, all you have to do is last, you know, 35 more minutes.
- [27:40]
Bobby Bones
I'd like to announce my retirement from these activities. That was a thrill, though.
- [27:43]
Dan Patrick
Who's the one who hit you in the head? You're wearing a helmet that. It was Mad Forte.
- [27:48]
Bobby Bones
Matt Forte. And I wear one of those helmets that you would sign at super bowl week. So there's not real padding in it. Yeah, I was nauseous. That was A hard hit.
- [27:56]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, he rattled you, by the way. You can get in touch. 8, 7, 7, 3 DP show on Monday. We'll be back at the home man cave and the hall of Famer Steve Young will wrap up Super Bowl.
- [28:07]
Bobby Bones
Take a look at my elbow. I can't. Didn't see it until I. I saw it in the camera.
- [28:11]
Dan Patrick
Oh, okay.
- [28:12]
Bobby Bones
That's a welt.
- [28:13]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, you're gonna have to ice that down here.
- [28:16]
Bobby Bones
Good times.
- [28:16]
Dan Patrick
I think you're. You're questionable. Maybe. Doubtful. Doubtful, Doubtful. The current odds. We'll have that with the Super Bowl. We got prop bets as well. We're going to tell you. You guys want to do that now? Do you want to make your super bowl prediction?
- [28:32]
Bobby Bones
We could do predictions or write the headline. We can do them both.
- [28:35]
Dan Patrick
Okay. Are you guys ready to write the headline? So Sunday's headline, you write it today and then for Monday. So write it today for Monday and then the score and the mvp. All right, who wants to go for. Who feels really strong? Oh, Todd does. Okay. Todd, by the way, dominated in pickleball. That's available@danpatrick.com. you were the best pickleball player out of this group. Congratulations. Yes, congratulations. Good times.
- [29:04]
Bobby Bones
Good times at the extreme.
- [29:04]
Dan Patrick
Okay. All right, Todd.
- [29:06]
Bobby Bones
I went with cry Eagles cry. 29, 26, Chiefs MVP.
- [29:10]
Dan Patrick
Mahomes.
- [29:11]
Bobby Bones
Okay, Paulie Dallas finally wins a Super Bowl. Goddard catch wins it for Philly.
- [29:19]
Dan Patrick
Snarky MVP score.
- [29:24]
Bobby Bones
MVP. I'm gonna give it to Jalen Hurts. 27, 24 Eagles in overtime.
- [29:30]
Dan Patrick
Okay, Seaton O'Connor.
- [29:33]
Bobby Bones
You want the headline first?
- [29:35]
Dan Patrick
Give me the headline. Kansas City thieves. Oh, Refs throw flags.
- [29:41]
Bobby Bones
Chiefs catch Super Bowl. That's nice. That's very nice. Kansas City thieves. Refs throw flags. Chiefs catch Super Bowl.
- [29:49]
Josh Jacobs
Well done.
- [29:50]
Dan Patrick
Okay. Huh? You got us. Very nice.
- [29:53]
Bobby Bones
I'm actually going Eagles over the Chiefs. I want to say blowout, but I'm actually going to say it's going to be a close game. 31, 28. Jalen hurts MVP.
- [30:04]
Dan Patrick
Okay, Marvin.
- [30:06]
Bobby Bones
Threes nuts.
- [30:08]
Dan Patrick
Chiefs win. 3,127.
- [30:11]
Bobby Bones
Mahomes MVP. Fun.
- [30:14]
Dan Patrick
I'm gonna go three to Pete, as in Andy Reid. So T H R E I D threed Pete Chiefs again. Patrick Mahomes, MVP. Final score 31, 30. Yeah. 3130. Okay. Yeah.
- [30:33]
Bobby Bones
Paulie, it's weird. Like, you could pick against the Chiefs, but you wouldn't bet against the Chiefs. I probably heard that from 30 different people this week. And isn't that what you. What your pick really is? Because if you would put your money down. That's what your pick really is.
- [30:48]
Dan Patrick
Well, some people do bet because they can't bet on somebody else. But you're right, most people would go, okay, I may not like the Chiefs. It's like Nick Wright said, hey, if you think it's fixed that the Chiefs are going to win all the time, then why don't you bet on the Chiefs if you know they're going to win? And he makes a great point. He said he's won like $60,000 so far this year because he bets on the Chiefs. The over under 48 and a half. The Chiefs are favored by one and a half. It stayed pretty much. Now some books I think have it the Chiefs one with some money coming in on the Eagles odds to score a touchdown. The best odds, Saquon Barkley. Then Jalen hurts, Travis Kelsey, Kareem Hunt and Xavier Worthy. Also odds to win the Super Bowl. MVP Patrick Mahomes is the big favorite. Then it's Saquon Barkley over Jalen Hurts. And then Travis Kelsey and Xavier Worthy are distant. So you have three of the five are Kansas City Chiefs. I have MVP odds for next year in the NFL regular season. Also, Marv, you teased a great tease of somebody who got snubbed with the hall of Fame. Do you want to do that right now? Who got snubbed in your opinion?
- [32:02]
Bobby Bones
So seven time Pro Bowler, seven time All Pro, five of those times first team linebacker. We'll take a guess.
- [32:11]
Dan Patrick
Okay.
- [32:11]
Josh Jacobs
He retired.
- [32:12]
Dan Patrick
Luke Keakley. Bloop. Yeah.
- [32:15]
Bobby Bones
So we're not talking about him. And I thought he was a surefire hall of Famer, especially with only four guys getting in this year.
- [32:22]
Dan Patrick
I think he's more of a Hall of Famer than Eli.
- [32:25]
Bobby Bones
No question.
- [32:25]
Dan Patrick
They're both be hall of Famers. Luke Keakley was the best at his position for a while in the NFL. Eli won. See, this is the problem, though, you know, it should be if you go, let me talk about Luke Keakley. I shouldn't be comparing him to Eli Manning, but we're talking about Eli getting snubbed. And what you're bringing out is valid, that we should be bringing up Luke Keakley, who was more of a star or standout at what he did than some of these other players.
- [32:53]
Bobby Bones
Yes, Paul, I think guys like Luke Keakley and people retire a year or two early due to injury, they have to wait a bit and for whatever they had to build a groundswell. Because if, like you said, if you look at his resume there's not a lot of questions about it. I think those guys, Sterling Sharpe had to wait a long time. I don't think Keakley waits that long. But the middle linebacker position also is not hot for the hall of Fame. Patrick Willis waited.
- [33:16]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Fred Warner is going to be a Hall of Famer too, I would think. You know, I like the Josh Jacobs. Like, you know, that's the guy that I got. You know, that guy's just different. I love hearing that. Never takes a playoff. All right, odds to win the soup or win at the NFL MVP next year. Todd, I'll start with you. Which player has the best odds to win? And by the way, there's no running backs in here. In the top five. Todd, best odds to win the MVP next season in the NFL, according to DraftKings, they gave him a one year off.
- [33:49]
Bobby Bones
But then Lamar Jackson comes right back.
- [33:51]
Dan Patrick
With the one year break and gets it again. Bloop, bloop, bloop. You got it. Who's second on the list? MVP next season? Satan.
- [34:00]
Bobby Bones
Josh Allen.
- [34:01]
Dan Patrick
Bloop, bloop, bloop. Okay, who's third on the list? Marvin?
- [34:06]
Bobby Bones
Joe Burr.
- [34:08]
Dan Patrick
You broke the streak. Oh, who'd you have Patrick Mahomes tied with? Joe Burrow. So I'm gonna give you.
- [34:18]
Bobby Bones
Shenanigans.
- [34:19]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I got you, you goofy. And then Jaden Daniels.
- [34:22]
Bobby Bones
Jaden Daniels.
- [34:23]
Dan Patrick
Jaden. Really? Have we updated the poll results? In a while.
- [34:29]
Bobby Bones
Fun. Yeah, we have. Everybody wants the Eagles to win. Not the Chiefs.
- [34:32]
Dan Patrick
Love that. Can you smell the sliders out there? The Kings, Hawaiian sliders.
- [34:39]
Bobby Bones
I think I lost my sense of smell after that.
- [34:41]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, you got hit.
- [34:42]
Bobby Bones
Knocked out of me.
- [34:43]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. A couple of phone calls in here. Mark in South Carolina. Hi, Mark. What's on your mind today?
- [34:49]
Bobby Bones
Hey, Dan, thanks so much for taking my call. You guys are fantastic. And Fritzie is my favorite.
- [34:54]
Dan Patrick
I'm just wanting originally being from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and everyone keeps talking about the three peat, the three peak, the three feet. Why is no one referencing the fact.
- [35:03]
Bobby Bones
That the Green Bay packers three paid three peat it in 1929, 1930 and 1931. And then also in the 60s under.
- [35:10]
Dan Patrick
The Vince Lombardi era.
- [35:14]
Bobby Bones
I'm sorry, not the hall of Fame.
- [35:15]
Dan Patrick
The draft is going to be in.
- [35:16]
Josh Jacobs
Green Bay next year and no one's.
- [35:18]
Bobby Bones
Talking about what they did.
- [35:20]
Dan Patrick
Well, Mark, we treat football differently. It's in the super bowl era and then prior to that. And it's not fair, but that's what we do. It's like modern era, modern day football. It's Super Bowl 1 and, you know, when the packers beat Kansas City and then they beat the Raiders after that. But that's, you know, you can look back to the Cleveland Browns and what they did and winning championships or the New York Football Giants winning championships. So that's kind of what we do. That's that line of demarcation. Almost like with the ABA NBA when the merger happened and then those stats started to count. It might not be fair. You know, I watched Dr. J when he played in the ABA and that guy was different than anybody else on the basketball floor. I mean, we talk about Jordan, Jordan's more refined player, but if you say this guy did everything and he dunked on people and he was explosive. I had not seen anybody like that. Yes, Marvin.
- [36:18]
Bobby Bones
And I think the pre super bowl era hasn't been kind to one franchise, and that's the Cleveland Browns because they seem really dominant. And it's. Oh, they won NFL championships in this year. This year, this year in the early 60s. And I'm like. But they still haven't gotten to the Super Bowl. But. So we don't consider them like a great dynasty when we talk about the great dynasties in NFL history. Yeah, Paulie, it is weird. It's like branding of the super bowl era as the line of demarcation. But what you said with the NBA, Dan, you're 100% right. Kareem Abdul Jabbar, you said it before, is almost underrated. Think of he was four years younger. Kareem. And Kareem's prime was just four years. Bumped back into the early 80s when he was averaging 31 and 16.
- [36:56]
Dan Patrick
Well, the NBA started when Larry and Magic with a lot of people. That's when all of a sudden, you know, because the NBA was dying in the 70s, you know, they had, you know, rampant drug use. You didn't have the Finals was not live. You know, it was just different. And then all of a sudden, Larry and Magic came in and took that energy for the national title game, brought it into the NBA. Both playing for great franchises. Now you had a rivalry. Now you had great interest in the NBA. Yes, Mark.
- [37:26]
Bobby Bones
And I think Kareem playing with Magic, who was so magnetic, is such a huge star. I think that hurts him. Also when you talk about the greatest players of all time, because they say it's Magic's Lakers, they don't say it's Kareem's Lakers.
- [37:38]
Dan Patrick
Jimmy in Chicago. Hi, Jimmy. What's on your mind? Hey, Dan.
- [37:42]
Bobby Bones
A great week hosting in New Orleans. Probably hope that scar heals up.
- [37:46]
Dan Patrick
Looks pretty gnarly.
- [37:47]
Bobby Bones
And for the big game, I'll be.
- [37:48]
Dan Patrick
Having pizza, wings, mini dogs as well as corn dogs.
- [37:52]
Bobby Bones
Just wondering what you guys will be chowing down on for the Super Bowl.
- [37:55]
Dan Patrick
I don't eat during the Super Bowl. I just smoke a cigar, be drinking some keeper's heart, and that's it. I'm not a. Maybe a snack or two, but nothing. I'll have my pre game meal, then I'm ready to go. So I don't know if anybody's got a spread that they're gonna put out there. Yes, Paul.
- [38:18]
Bobby Bones
I always make chili. Almost always. And my wife makes a seven layer dip just for us, which is just decadent because, you know, you go to those parties and you have to share the seven layer dip. It's a free for all there.
- [38:28]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I'm always good for one scoop of the dip because I never know what happens after I'm done with it where guys are like, I'm gonna get a bite here. You know what? I'm gonna stick the taco back in there. Yes. Marvin.
- [38:42]
Josh Jacobs
Yeah.
- [38:42]
Bobby Bones
You don't like double dippers?
- [38:44]
Dan Patrick
No, no, no. I have been at a party where a guy was eating celery and carrots and he would take a bite and he would scoop back in. Wow. And I, I, I did have to say something to him. I gave, you know, you probably get your own bowl of ranch there. And he goes, oh, is that available? I said, but you can't be dipping back in here. Why? So why don't you keep that one? Maybe they'll bring out another one. He just, you know, scooping in, cranking out with carrots and celery. I'm like, okay, all right. What about you, Todd? What do you, what do you think in there?
- [39:16]
Bobby Bones
I go up the road to a friend's house and everybody brings something. So it's a Super bowl party. We usually stay for like the first half and then and then head home for the second half. There's usually meatballs and subs and all that kind of stuff. Little mini franks that I like.
- [39:28]
Dan Patrick
The pigs and blankets. Willis in Wisconsin. Hi, Willis. Hi.
- [39:33]
Bobby Bones
Thanks for taking my call, Dan. First time, long time. 61206. Heck yeah. Hey, I just wanted to call and if you do get the opportunity to watch a Dallas Cowboys game with Shay, do it. I used to be in a fantasy football league with this fine specimen of.
- [39:52]
Dan Patrick
Man and it is must see tv.
- [39:55]
Bobby Bones
Definitely think you guys should put that on the website. That'd be awesome.
- [40:00]
Dan Patrick
All right, well, thank you Maybe next year I'll. Should I go to sh. I should go to Shea's house, though.
- [40:07]
Bobby Bones
Definitely.
- [40:08]
Dan Patrick
His daughters. The youngest one's a wild one. He calls her a terrorist. His roommate, the wife. Yes. Eden, do you think it's going to.
- [40:15]
Bobby Bones
Be easier to leave Shay's house or to get Shay out of yours? That's how you need to make this decision.
- [40:23]
Dan Patrick
I need to go to Shay's house. You think it'll be easier for you.
- [40:25]
Bobby Bones
To leave his house than it will be to get him out of yours?
- [40:28]
Dan Patrick
Yes. Yes. Yes. Luke in Ohio. Hi, Luke. What's on your mind today?
- [40:34]
Bobby Bones
Hey, Dan.
- [40:36]
Dan Patrick
I always want a long time this.
- [40:39]
Bobby Bones
Or first time caller 6, 6, 2 and a semi athletic 210. I was wondering, what was your favorite.
- [40:47]
Dan Patrick
Cast to be a part of in.
- [40:49]
Bobby Bones
All the movies you've been in?
- [40:51]
Dan Patrick
Oh, okay. A lot of people have asked about Happy Gilmore 2. I think it's coming out in July, but I don't know. I. I shot a lot of scenes for it. It's going to be a big movie. My favorite movie that I was in with Sandler was Just Go with it with Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Aniston and Dave Matthews. Just because they gave me a large role where I was a nightclub owner or host and they let me ad lib, have some fun. I'm on stage with Kidman and Aniston. That probably because, I mean, they're actresses and they had to look at me like, this guy has no idea how to act. At least I felt that. And I've even said that to Sandler. I go, sandman, you know, Kidman is just staring me down. He goes, danny, Danny, don't worry about it. I said, she knows I can't act. Danny, don't show any fear. Don't show any fear. I said, by the way, I don't care if Aniston doesn't think I can act. I like watching, you know, looking at her. I'm staring her down, too. Danny, Danny. Don't do that, Dan. Because Aniston used to say, oh, you're the sports guy. She didn't know my name. Hey, sports guy. Hey, Jennifer. All right, we'll take a break. If you're watching on Peacock, we'll go out to the Traeger girls. The great folks at Kings Hawaiian Chef Greg have whipped up some sliders there. And last call for phone calls. What we learned, what's in store for Monday. All of that coming up after this.

Listen to the Athletes First Family podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Something about Mary Poppins. Something about Mary Poppins. Exactly. Oh man, this is fun. I'm AJ Jacobs and I am an author and a journalist and I tend to get obsessed with stuff and my current obsession is puzzles. And that has given birth to my podcast, the Puzzler. Dressing. Dressing.

Dan Patrick
French dressing.

Oh, that's good.

Bobby Bones

Dan Patrick
Favorite thing in New Orleans this week. Todd, what was your favorite thing, aside from the protest that you had on Silent Protest Wednesday?
- [47:32]
Bobby Bones
Playing pickleball with everybody and just trying as many PO boys as possible throughout the week and walking up and down Bourbon Street?
- [47:39]
Dan Patrick
Marvin, favorite thing?
- [47:41]
Bobby Bones
The gumbo from Brennan's.
- [47:43]
Dan Patrick
Oh, okay.
- [47:44]
Bobby Bones
Phenomenal.
- [47:45]
Dan Patrick
Seaton.
- [47:47]
Bobby Bones
Let's see. I think playing pickleball actually was my favorite because I've been a little bit of a critic of pickleball over the.
- [47:55]
Dan Patrick
Last couple of years.
- [47:56]
Bobby Bones
I've made, I've made a significant amount of fun with pickleball. It's. It was, it was awesome. It was great.
- [48:02]
Dan Patrick
Paul, your favorite thing here in New Orleans?
- [48:04]
Bobby Bones
It's my third time here, I think. Walking a lot and walking down different streets in different neighborhoods I hadn't been in. I haven't seen half of them, but it's such a. I'm not even pandering. They should make the super bowl in New Orleans. I would say once every four years. It should be a rotation. I think it's the perfect super bowl city. It's vast, there's food all times a day. There's hotels, all different areas, great weather. And it's built for this scenario. It's built for it. And I think maybe a four year rotation for New Orleans.
- [48:32]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. I had breakfast, oysters. My wife got in town and she said, let's go to Felix. I want oysters. I. It felt like we were there at 9:30 or something in the morning. They were awesome. Superior Seafood was wonderful as well. Just some of the restaurants that we were able to go to. And you can't get cheated. Like it's, it's hard to find a bad restaurant. You know, it's wherever you go, you're going to find something that you're going to like. And I agree with Paulie. There's so many different aspects of New Orleans. It's not just Bourbon street. It's when you go to the Garden District, that's when you know they're just the beautiful mansions there. Hotels, restaurants, and it's so scenic. So there are so many great things. Yes.
- [49:17]
Bobby Bones
Marvin, Magazine street also.
- [49:19]
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
- [49:19]
Bobby Bones
Phenomenal.
- [49:20]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. This day in sports history, Paul got a couple.
- [49:23]
Bobby Bones
1882, the last bare knuckle fight for the heavyweight boxing title in Mississippi City. 1882. Then they outlawed it. Let's see. Cassius Clay, 1965, began calling himself Muhammad Ali. And Sports Illustrated published the swimsuit edition in 85, 218 pages. And Michael Jordan in 1994 signed a contract with the Chicago White Sox to play baseball.
- [49:45]
Dan Patrick
Wow. Von Miller on this day, 2016, forced two fumbles. Denver scored two touchdowns. Yeah, he did. They beat the Panthers 2410 in the Super Bowl. And that was another parade that you skipped.
- [49:58]
Bobby Bones
That's right. I couldn't take my son, so I protested going to your thing and I protested celebrating with them.
- [50:03]
Dan Patrick
So you could have gone to the Super Bowl. You had a ticket and you could have gone to the parade.
- [50:07]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it was a 2 for 1 deal with my son.
- [50:10]
Dan Patrick
LeBron scored 38 to become the all time leading scorer on this date in 2023. Also 1970. I actually remember this. Pete Maravich scored 69 points, no three pointer. He scored 47 in the second half. But his team lost Alabama 106, 104. Okay, 69 without a three point shot. And he was a deep range, you know, deep shooter. I'm guessing he would have had 80. I think that probably would have been a fair number for him to score 80. But he, he only had 69 point. I think that was his high in the NBA. 68 or 69 points against the Knicks. And no three point shot. Yes, Marvin, so what?
- [50:52]
Bobby Bones
Who's the second leading scorer on that team? It feels, this feels like a real Kobe 81 point game. Like who's second leading score.
- [51:01]
Dan Patrick
Well, that was pretty much every night for LSU with Pete Maravich. If he's getting 44 and they're getting 70, 75. Although in this case they got, you know, 104. Yes, Marvin.
- [51:13]
Bobby Bones
Pete Marovich career high 68 against Walt Frazier and the Knicks.
- [51:16]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I know. And you know what I did at the hall of Fame? Walt Frazier went into the hall of Fame. And I asked Walt Frazier about Maravich scoring 68 point the Knicks. He looked at me like everybody's talking to Clyde Frazier about going in the hall of Fame. I said, hey, how'd you guys let Maravich score 68 point. He goes, I wasn't guarding him the whole time like you're going in the hall of Fame and I'm such a knucklehead. I'm going to ask about Pete Maravich there. Great sponsors all this week. Want to thank everybody, all the great. You know, Traeger was here. I'm going to leave out people. So you got Traeger. You guys will fill in if I leave out somebody. Kings Hawaiian was here. Express pros, Mako Tire Rack. Miller Light, Sonos. Sonos was wonderful. Keeper's heart as well. They all pitched in rapid radios. Yeah. Just a tire rack. Yeah.
- [52:12]
Bobby Bones
Tire rack out there. Yeah.
- [52:13]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. And when you honor these sponsors, you know, it's a great compliment to me because these are great people that we deal with.
- [52:21]
Bobby Bones
Panini.
- [52:22]
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Yes, yes. All the Panini people yesterday and last night, you get those people and you listen to what I'm saying about what their products are, and then you purchase those. Thank you. I appreciate that. Because we're very select, selective in who we have advertised on the show because frankly, we have to believe in them. Final results of the poll question.
- [52:43]
Bobby Bones
Paulie, it's actually gotten down to who are you rooting for? It's at 50.
- [52:48]
Dan Patrick
50. Eagles.
- [52:49]
Bobby Bones
Chiefs.
- [52:49]
Dan Patrick
Okay.
- [52:50]
Bobby Bones
Yeah.

Dan Patrick

Dan Patrick
No, I don't. I drink, though.

Bobby Bones
Todd, packers running back Josh Jacobs has not watched the super bowl since middle school seat.
- [53:42]
Dan Patrick
No. Connor, what did you learn?

Bobby Bones
I learned two things. Mario has a staff of people that work with him.
- [53:46]
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
- [53:46]
Bobby Bones
Interesting. Also, Dion not jumping to the NFL without his sons.
- [53:51]
Dan Patrick
Paulie, what'd you learn?
- [53:52]
Bobby Bones
The packers should play Josh Jacobs on defense.
- [53:54]
Dan Patrick
Todd, what did I learn?
- [53:56]
Bobby Bones
You met a woman last night who bet $72,000 on Kevin O'Connell winning NFL.
