Key Discussion Points & Segments

1. Thanksgiving Vibes and “First Thanksgiving” Menu (02:58-04:21)

• The studio sets a festive mood for the holiday: Dylan dresses as a pilgrim, and the menu imitates the 1621 Thanksgiving with Cornish game hens, duck with cornbread stuffing, butternut squash soup, lobster, mussels, and black sea bass.
• Discussion:
  • Dan jokes about Dylan’s dedication to the costume, complete with a double XL dress/bonnet.
  • Ms. Doubtfire comparisons fly, with Seaton doing the iconic voice:
    • “Hello, dear. And of course, nobody realized that that was a man. How would you know?” (04:11 – Dan & Seaton)

2. Thanksgiving Food Debates & Audience Polls (05:06–06:40, 25:20–26:48)

• Poll Questions:
  • Cowboys vs. Chiefs: 57% root for the Cowboys (05:07)
  • Modern vs. Traditional Thanksgiving menus: 51% prefer modern (05:14)
  • Stuffing: 40% list it as their top side (05:35)
• Dan shares his hot take that stuffing is overrated:
  • “I’m in the minority here. I find it overrated. Pumpkin pie. Nobody clapped.” (05:47)
• Callers passionately defend stuffing and its many creative variations.
• Ongoing gentle ribbing about food traditions—turkey is a must, ham as accompaniment is fine.

3. Sports Caller Q&A: Owners vs. Players, Recruitment in the NIL Era, & “Must-win” Games (06:40–18:02)

• Debate: What's worse in sports—an owner never winning a title, or a great player failing to win it?
  • Dan: “We don’t hold owners accountable other than Jerry Jones... We don’t hold Tony Romo accountable that he didn’t win.” (07:13)
  • Paul: Dan Marino’s lack of a ring often blamed on ownership (07:41)
• NIL and College Recruitment:
  • Dylan: Explores whether money dominates the college athlete mindset now.
  • Dan: “Kids are all over the country now because I can go play there... Now you have to have more attention to detail with these kids. They’re not blind loyalists.” (09:28)
  • Seaton: Puts huge NIL numbers in perspective—“$2 million is an insane amount of money… Most people, a huge 90%... will never see $2 million in their lifetime.” (10:01)
• Listener Segment: Advice for enjoying college football trips in retirement; Dan shares stories of attending concerts/theatre on his wife’s suggestion, reminisces about seeing Phantom of the Opera in London on honeymoon—complete with “nosebleed” seats and McDonald’s in tow (12:05–14:53).
• Must-win games of the weekend:
  • Dylan: Bills at Steelers
  • Seaton: Alabama in the Iron Bowl

4. Ross Tucker Interview – NFL & College Preview (27:13–37:08)

• Thanksgiving Feasting: Ross shares stories of his massive eating during his playing days, once devouring two Subway footlongs and two Chipotle burritos as a young athlete.
• NFL Standouts This Weekend:
  • “I think right now it’s the Eagles or the Rams [in the NFC]. With the Rams pretty clearly... being the best team in football.” (28:10–29:51, Ross)
  • “It’s better for the NFL if the Cowboys win...If they lose, they’re pretty much done. If they win...then the Cowboys all of a sudden have a real chance and get interesting.” (29:51–30:42, Ross)
• Joe Burrow’s Injury Dilemma:
  • “Unfortunately, Joe is injury-prone...It’s clearly a lost season.” (31:00, Ross)
  • “If there’s a scab in the NFL, you pick it. So Joe Burrow better not have a scab because they’ll attack it if he does.” (31:00–32:11, Ross)
• Shador Sanders’ First NFL Start:
  • “Overall it was a very favorable evaluation... maybe this is me as the former offensive lineman— it was the eye test... composed... not drifting.” (32:32–33:47, Ross)
• Matthew Stafford as NFL MVP:
  • “He’s having the greatest season by a 37-year-old with a herniated disc in NFL history. He's clearly the MVP after not doing anything.” (35:48, Ross)
• College Football Rivalries: Ross shares his excitement to call Iowa vs. Nebraska and how much those games mean to the region.

5. Thanksgiving Sports Names Skit (37:35–38:45)

• In honor of Todd Fritz, Dylan presents punny “Thanksgiving sports names” based on the day’s menu:
  • “Squash Allen” (Josh Allen), “Cooper Flag” the white lobster, “Eric Musselman,” “Duck Devlin,” “Cornish Gamecocks,” and “Tyler SeaBass.”
• Paul quips: “All of a sudden I’m missing Fritzi.” Seaton ponders whether the bit is a “concept flaw” rather than execution.

6. Listener Interactions & Heartfelt Moments (43:20–44:49)

• Chris from Germany, a member of the US Army, calls to share his journey battling melanoma and celebrates listening to the show as part of his recovery. Dan responds with gratitude:
  • “That’s us serving our country there by serving those who served our country.” (44:13)
• Lighthearted calls about stuffing, Thanksgiving names, and more keep the tone warm and comedic throughout.

7. Lane Kiffin: Where Will He Land? (45:31–47:08)

• Dan and the Danettes re-do their picks for where Lane Kiffin will coach next.
  • Most say LSU; Seaton opts for Florida; Dylan throws a wild card: Eli Manning helps him to the Giants or keeps him at Ole Miss.
  • Dan: “If he was staying, he would announce it...nobody keeps a secret anymore.” (46:30)

8. Sports, History, and “What Did We Learn?” (47:45–50:16)

• Paul: Shares notable sports anniversaries — NHL founded, Barry Sanders rushing milestone, Flipper Anderson’s 336 receiving yards in a single game, and the prohibition of the spitball in 1961.
• The team goes around sharing what they “learned today,” reflecting honestly (and often comically) on their own quirks and holiday preferences.

[Dan Patrick]

You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. It's a Wednesday and it's a meat Wednesday at that as we replicate the first Thanksgiving Cornish game. Hens duck with cornbread stuffing, Butternut squash soup, Lobster mussels, black sea bass. Who has it better than we do? Nobody. Alrighty. Dylan doing double duties, sitting in for Fritzi and also dressing up as if it were 1621 as well.

[Dylan]

Yeah, I'm the only one dressed up.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, I don't think there was a memo that was sent out that we should be dressing up as pilgrims.

[Dylan]

It's implied.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Is that a bonnet?

[Dylan]

It is a bonnet.

[Dan Patrick]

That's a bonnet.

[Dylan]

And it's a double XL dress which is the largest they made for women though. And I packed into it.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, you did. You're packing out of it too.

[Dylan]

Very breasty.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, you are. Yes.

[Paul]

Paul looks like A scene from Mrs. Doubtfire behind.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, yeah.

[Paul]

Robin Williams was so hairy.

[Dylan]

The Internet has thrown some missed Doubtfire comparisons out.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, Seaton, you do your Miss Doubtfire.

[Seaton]

Yeah, just that.

[Dan Patrick]

Hello, dear. And of course, nobody realized that that was a man. How would you know? Yeah, dressed as a woman.

[Seaton]

How would you know?

[Dan Patrick]

Stat of the day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the program. The calendars. Autograph non autographed calendars available in time for the holidays. DanPatrick.com and check out the tailgate store with our tailgate moonshine autograph calendars with select tailgate purchases. While supplies last, most must win game of the weekend. More of your phone calls coming up. We will revisit our Lane Kiffin picks from last Friday if we think he's going to stay or go. We will also have our good buddy Ross Tucker, CBS Sports, Westwood One. He's got Nebraska and Iowa coming up tomorrow. He'll join us in a little bit. All right, Seaton, what's the poll question for the final hour on this Wednesday?

[Seaton]

Yeah, let me update you here. Who are you rooting for right now? 57% of the audience Rooting for the Cowboys over the Chiefs. Interesting. All right, which Thanksgiving menu do you prefer? This is a battle royale. This keeps going back and forth. Right now, 51% suggest the more modern menu, which would be, you know, turkey, stuffing or dressing, whichever you call it. Mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, etc.

[Dan Patrick]

Etc. Etc.

[Seaton]

Yeah, and we also have up there sort of a March Madness bracket style thing of sides. And right now, about 40% of that still have stuffing.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I just. I don't. I'm in the minority here. I find it overrated. Pumpkin pie. Nobody clapped.

[Seaton]

Nobody clapped.

[Paul]

That's a mutiny.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, that's okay. I said I'm in the minority. I mean, I'm correct, but I'm in the minority. Stuffing, overrated. Yeah. Paul.

[Paul]

It's funny, a lot of people get really creative with stuffing. The old school stove top out of the box is just fine. Have you had that?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I'm not a stuffing guy. You know, stuffing is kind of like Brussels sprouts that you have to kind of enhance it a little bit so it tastes better.

[Seaton]

That is true.

[Dan Patrick]

Like, everybody's going, well, have you tried adding oysters to it? Have you tried adding pepperoni to. Wait, is stuffing great, then let it stand on its own merit.

[Seaton]

I think that you're sort of using its versatility against it, Dan. It's something that can wear many hats, if you will.

[Dan Patrick]

Attack many hats. Many hats. Fresh in Milwaukee. Hi, Fresh. What's on your mind?

[Caller]

What's up, DP Dan X. Happy Thanksgiving. Got a little question, like a poll question. I want to know what's worse. Owner owning a franchise for 20 plus years and never winning a championship or what we consider to be a great player never to win a championship in their career.

[Dan Patrick]

Wait, so what's worse? An owner who doesn't win anything or a player who doesn't.

[Caller]

Yes.

[Dan Patrick]

What feels like an owner he's owning the entire team has more of a say in who you have and who you keep and who coaches. So, I mean, I know we don't hold owners accountable other than Jerry Jones. Like, he hasn't won anything in over 30 years. We don't hold Tony Romo accountable that he didn't win. Right? Yeah. Paulie.

[Paul]

Yeah. I think even if you look back at the probably the one seed of guys who didn't win, Dan Marino, a lot of people blame ownership and management of not surrounding him with more talent at the wide receiver position. Running backs.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, who was the owner of the Miami Dolphins back when Dan Marino went to the Super Bowl? In his second year in the NFL. It wasn't Joe Robbie. Right. Was it Joe Robbie's dad?

[Paul]

It was Joe Robbie.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Paul]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, Joseph. Joe Robbie. Yeah. Does anybody hold him accountable that he didn't win a title as an owner?

[Seaton]

Upset with him?

[Marvin Prince]

I do now.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, you do?

[Marvin Prince]

At Joe Robbie Stadium?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. All right. Yeah. Let's see. Dylan in Washington. Hi, Dylan. You guys got to get ready with your most must win game of the weekend. All right?

[Marvin Prince]

All right.

[Dan Patrick]

Hey, Dylan.

[Caller]

Well, good morning, fellas. I was as you were talking about Brian Kelly golfing in Florida and recruiting. It kind of got me thinking about the landscape of recruiting and how it's changed with nil involved and kind of the players perspectives now being, I don't know, the psychology of maybe they're more oriented towards how much money am I gonna get versus this school versus maybe 15 years ago. You had these kids growing up as, you know, they were loyal to their home state's college and, you know, strictly thinking, I'm gonna go there. And then all of a sudden you get. Get these money offers coming at you today. So how does that change up the landscape with coaches thinking, oh, well, they're going into this thinking, well, these kids are now just thinking about money.

[Dan Patrick]

They are. And they're all exchanging information about money. Everybody knows what everybody's making here. It's even more important to recruit because it used to be, well, you grew up in Ohio, you're going to Ohio State. You grew up in Michigan, you're going to Michigan. That's not the case anymore. Kids are all over the country now because I can go play there. Oh, I'm not going to play there. I can go over here. Wait, they're going to offer me this. So, yes, now it's changed. Now you have to have more attention to detail with these kids. They're not just blind loyalists. Yes. Seaton.

[Seaton]

Yeah, I think sometimes when we're talking about sports, though, numbers are so insane. And we just throw around like 20 million, 45, 75 million, 2 million this and that. And I think that sometimes we forget, because it's in a sports context, just how much money $2 million is. $2 million is an insane amount of money that most people will never even you total up how much money they make in their entire lifetime. They won't hit $2 million. Most people, a huge 90% of the population will never see $2 million in their whole lifetime. And these kids are like, you should be thinking about your future.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Seaton]

You know, what's best for my future? $2 million in my bank account. You know what's great after that? 20 million after that, and then 200 after that. I'm taking the 2 million. Now, I know that people like to say, like, what about loyalty? What about, come on, you should be going to. You're from Michigan. You play for Michigan.

[Dan Patrick]

Come on, just. What?

[Seaton]

That's not the real world anymore. That's not the world that we live in at all.

[Dan Patrick]

Paul in Orlando. Hi, Paul. What's on your mind today?

[Caller]

Hey, dp, you had me rolling the other day. You shared the story about what you're going to do when you retire and what your wife said. And you told her you were going to go to football games, college football games. Hey, I've been there. Did that about 10 years ago. I'm 71 now. My wife said, what? But anyway, so I've been to 49 different venues, loved it. And I've been over 100 and some campuses to work out and get a signature pitcher on the football field. But my advice, My advice is to invite your wife to Blacksburg, Virginia, the Fayetteville, Arkansas, the Lubbock, Texas. And you know she's going to decline. And you go out there. Peace of mind.

[Dan Patrick]

Now, my wife would go. She would go for the experience. Like, it doesn't matter. She'll go. She may not know anything about it or necessarily care about it, but if you're going to something that is live, it's something different, then she's all in. Yes, Dylan.

[Dylan]

I feel like that's true with a lot of things. Like most concerts, even if you're not a fan of whatever band, like, you'll have a good time.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, we had tickets to see Patti Smith on Friday night that my wife got me tickets to see Patti Smith. Now, I didn't ask her for that, but I said, yeah, I'd be open to it. Well, we got back from Vegas too late, so I couldn't see Patti Smith in concert. But, like, I'm going to a Broadway play on Friday. I didn't pick it, but I'm like, hey, let's go.

[Dylan]

You do like the theater, though.

[Dan Patrick]

I do, I do. I'm, you know, I saw Hamilton twice. Original cast.

[Paul]

We'll see.

[Dan Patrick]

So Phantom of the Opera, original cast. On my honeymoon in London. Just saying.

[Seaton]

But Sarah Brightman is at the.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, yeah. She was married to the producer, director of.

[Seaton]

Of that play, Edward R. Fellows. I believe his name.

[Dan Patrick]

No, his name. Edward R. Fellows.

[Seaton]

I got Sarah Brightman.

[Dan Patrick]

But I made up.

[Seaton]

You know what I made up Edward.

[Paul]

Arfello I bought it.

[Dan Patrick]

I did do Michael. Michael Crawford. Michael Crawford. Oh, he played the Phantom. That's the.

[Seaton]

That is a name in that.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, yeah. The Phantom of the Opera. Is there inside your mind. The fact that he cried during every performance of Phantom of the Opera. He said, I got so into my character, I cried every single performance. Oh, what's the name of the. Who's the producer of Phantom of the Opera? I can see him because he was married to Sarah Brightman.

[Dylan]

Steven Sondheim.

[Dan Patrick]

No, no.

[Seaton]

Cameron McIntosh.

[Dan Patrick]

No, no.

[Dylan]

The Fellows guy.

[Dan Patrick]

No.

[Seaton]

Edward R. Fellows.

[Dan Patrick]

Wait, who?

[Paul]

Andrew Lloyd Weber.

[Dan Patrick]

Andrew Lloyd Weber.

[Caller]

Alw.

[Seaton]

He's a big deal.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, he's a big deal.

[Seaton]

That fella.

[Paul]

If he was Andy Weber, though, he.

[Dan Patrick]

Wouldn'T have done that. Yeah, but he was married to Sarah Brightman, and she was there with Michael Crawford, with the Phantom of the Opera. We had the last two seats in the last row, and I couldn't stand up. If I did, I would hit the girder above me. But we were there. We were in the building because my wife, we're on our honeymoon, and she's like, what do you want to do? I said, I don't know. Let's go out drinking. And she goes, how about we go see Phantom of the Opera? And I go, why? And she goes, oh, my God, this is unbelievable. There it's opening in London. I go, all right, so we scalp tickets, go in, sit. We brought In, I think, McDonald's, and we sat in the last row, the two last seats.

[Paul]

Classic.

[Dan Patrick]

On our honeymoon.

[Marvin Prince]

Oh, this means this a long time ago.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, yeah, well, 38 years ago.

[Marvin Prince]

Yeah. You weren't Dan Patrick yet.

[Dan Patrick]

No, I was not. I was. I was nobody.

[Dylan]

And you're allowed to bring outside food in. I think that's changed.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, but not as bad as when I went to. We went to see Platoon, and we brought in red wine and sushi. And I remember, I got. I got up, I. I hit the glass of wine, and it went all over my wife. She had a white sweater on. So when we came out of the movie, this, you know, the next wave of people going in, and it looked like my wife had been shot. Like she, like, holy. They're. They're actually using live bullets there in the movie Platoon.

[Paul]

Like, it was interactive.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Paul]

Like Gallagher meets.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Like, oh. Oh, my God. And it looked like she had blood, you know, on her blood stain on her sweater. Yes. Marvin.

[Marvin Prince]

What a date night movie that was.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, I know. I know that.

[Seaton]

Yeah.

[Dylan]

Well, it is funny to, like, dress up for, like, how people dress up.

[Dan Patrick]

As Thor for the new Thor movie.

[Dylan]

She's like, I'm just a big Platoon fan.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, yes.

[Paul]

And you tailgate at these musicals.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, yeah.

[Paul]

You're bringing wine.

[Dan Patrick]

I like you. Yeah. But yeah, we were big on bringing in stuff or, you know, bring in a. I try to get a can of beer and you try to open it up. Like, you time it where you think something's going to be an explosion. All of a sudden you're like, oh, looks like an explosion. And all of a sudden there's silence and it's. And then I'm like, ah. And then if you put the beer can down and it rolls down the aisle there. Yeah, those were the days. Being in love, kids in New York City. Let's see. Okay, so can we do the best week in sports or do we want to wait until after. I mean, most must win game.

[Paul]

Yeah, we have time before Ross.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, Dylan, I'll start with you. The most must win game of the weekend. All right.

[Dylan]

Then you touched on it earlier, but the Buffalo Bills at the Steelers. Rodgers looks like he might play, but Bills are sitting at 7 and 4 coming off a bad loss to the Texans that we actually watched together. And they're not going to win the division, so they need to kind of get that record.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, Seaton.

[Seaton]

Massive, massive must win game. Alabama Iron Bowl. They have to beat Auburn this weekend. They're, I think. Where are they? 10? Are they 10th right now in the College Football Playoff? I feel like this is a big game for them.

[Dan Patrick]

Auburn has a really good defense. They just don't have an experienced quarterback. I think they started a freshman last game. All right, Marvin.

[Marvin Prince]

The Baltimore Ravens playing Joe Burrow coming back for the Bengals. They're trying to stay afloat in the AFC North. So big time game for the Ravens.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh.

[Paul]

Ole Miss at Mississippi State. You cannot lose after this week you've had. If you're Lane Kiffin. Mississippi State can score. They can make this a ball game. They almost always make it a ball game. It's only a seven to eight point spread.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. You.

[Paul]

Perception wise and every playoff wise, you cannot lose if you're Ole Miss.

[Caller]

Hmm.

[Dan Patrick]

Oregon and Washington. Oregon at Washington after beating usc. Oregon, I think a six and a half point favorite in that game. That is the most must win game of the weekend. More of your phone calls coming up. We will talk to our good buddy Ross Tucker right after this. Dan Patrick Show.

What's on your mind today?

[Caller]

Good morning Dan and the Danets. I'm calling in for the best week in sports. I would have to say would be the Arizona Wildcats. They have a nice early season run going on. More importantly, they went into Connecticut or Connecticut and they beat the Huskies. Which means that I might have the best week in sports because Marvin Prince might have to take is going to have to take a pie to the face. But that leads me to another Prince which might be a Paul question because I remember Ross had been on previously and I think he said that Taylor Swift was a better musician than Prince. And I was wondering if we could make that a poll question of if you could take Taylor Swift or Prince as your musician. Who would you pick? I know who I would pick and I'm wondering if, if Ross could maybe clarify that when he's on and with that. Thank you, Todd.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, Paulie. I wasn't here when Ross Said this.

[Paul]

Yeah, this was very controversial but Taylor Swift and Ross Tucker are from the same hometown basically.

[Seaton]

Okay.

[Paul]

And you think he over supports her over Prince?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, she's not a great musician. I mean Prince is one of the great musicians, great guitar players of all time. He can play every instrument.

[Paul]

She's a genius businesswoman.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. She can write lyrics.

[Seaton]

She's a great songwriter.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, she's an unbelievable songwriter.

[Seaton]

Great songwriter.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. But like it's big difference than being a musician. Princes off the charts. Great. Let's see. Jack in New Hampshire. Good morning, Jack. What's on your mind?

[Caller]

75 pounds. Height 4 2. I have a question for Dylan. Are you gonna do Todd's thanksg?

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, are you gonna do the Thanksgiving related sports names?

[Dylan]

I feel like I've already done a good job embarrassing myself enough today. So I'll see if I can cook something.

[Dan Patrick]

I mean this is for the kids. This is for Jack in New Hampshire.

[Dylan]

It is for Jack.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Paul]

I'll see.

[Dylan]

I mean they're probably written down somewhere.

[Dan Patrick]

They are, yeah. Yeah. Todd's got his manila folder there of Thanksgiving names, Jack. I'm gonna see if he can do that for you. But thank you for calling and happy Thanksgiving.

[Caller]

You too. Thank you.

[Dan Patrick]

Alrighty. That's Jack in New Hampshire. Seemed a little sad that we wouldn't be able to do the names there.

[Dylan]

Didn't even consider that.

[Dan Patrick]

Mike in Cincinnati. Hi, Mike. What's on your mind?

[Caller]

Hey, Dan, thanks for taking my call. Yeah, I think you're really in the really, really, really minority on that stuffing. You really don't like that stuff, huh?

[Dan Patrick]

No, no. It's got onions in it, Mike.

[Caller]

Crispy on the outside and then kind of, kind of soft on the inside and loaded up with some gravy. It's just not yours gig, huh?

[Dan Patrick]

No, but see, you're adding things to it. Now you're going to put gravy on it. If stuffing is great, let stuffing stand by itself. That's all. And I mean I am in the minority, but I'm willing to try some stuffing today. Steve in Jersey. Hi, Steve.

[Caller]

Hey, Dan. Steve From Jersey here. 59185. Here's the hard hitting question, Dan, on this whole stuffing thing. What's the most important thing next season at this time we ban stuffing from Thanksgiving or do we ban the Eagles from stuffing the ball down my giant's throat?

[Dan Patrick]

I don't, I don't want you to ban stuffing. I'm just telling you I don't need it. It's just a personal choice. But I give thanks that we have the opportunity to choose what we're having for Thanksgiving. Yes, Marvin.

[Marvin Prince]

And then you got on me about my turkey.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, no, you got to have turkey for Thanksgiving. I think you should. Now you want to have ham as an accompaniment. That's fine. Ham's great. All right, that's all.

[Marvin Prince]

Glad we settled there.

[Dan Patrick]

Ross Tucker, CBS Sports, Westwood One college football analyst and you can follow him on social media at. ROSS tucker, NFL he was in the booth for the Browns and the Raiders last weekend and he'll be on the call for Iowa and Nebraska kicking off tomorrow at noon Eastern on cbs. Let's get the important question out of the way. Have you ever eaten a whole turkey?

[Marvin Prince]

No, I don't think so, but I think I probably could if I really wanted to. I definitely could have when I was high school, college or the NFL. I mean, I look back on it now and my wife still marvels. Dan, when, when we first were in Dallas and Chipotle, that's when Chipotle started. I used to eat two burritos. No problem. High school and college. I used to go to subway and get 2 foot long BMWs. Biggest, meaty, meatiest, tastiest. I would get double meat, add bacon and eat two foot longs like I was an eating machine for a good 10 year period of my life.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, that's all I wanted to talk to you about. Happy Thanksgiving there. Where do you want to start? What's your biggest question mark that will be answered this weekend in the NFL?

[Marvin Prince]

Oh, that is a really, really good one. Man. I feel like the NFL did a terrific job with these standalone games the next couple days. You know, I mean, Packers, Lions, I'm not sure I look at them either one of them right now. Dan, as super bowl contenders. You know, when I go on all the other shows all, you know, wherever I cheat on you sometimes, I do go on other shows from time to time they'll say who are the legit super bowl contenders? And I guess right now I kind of feel like I have a tough time picturing it being anybody other than the Rams or the Eagles in the nfc. And I say that because the Lions and Packers just haven't shown enough consistency for me to picture them winning three playoff games. And even the Seahawks, who I think are really good, I don't think they're going to win that division. So does that mean I think Sam Darnold's going to win three road playoff games? I don't. So I think right now it's the Eagles or the Rams. With the Rams pretty clearly, I think being the best team in football. So that Lions, packers matchup is huge for both those teams. You know, I'm curious to see if the Cowboys can keep this momentum going after the win against the Eagles. Whereas the Chiefs finally won a one score game and they look like a good team in that game. And then even, you know, tomorrow night, Joe Burrow out there and then I can't believe that. I mean, out of all the games for the Black Friday game to be 8 and 3 Bears, 8 and 3 Eagles, I don't know, many people were expecting that when that first came out. So kudos. Tip of the cap to the NFL schedule makers for the standalone games the next couple days.

[Dan Patrick]

Better for the NFL if the Cowboys win or the Chiefs win.

[Marvin Prince]

Oh, I think if the Cowboys win. Because the Cowboys still have some more standalone games. If they lose, they're pretty much done. You know, if they lose, they're out of it. If they win, then the following Thursday, they play the Lions on Thursday Night Football. I'll be calling that game for Westwood1. Then the Cowboys all of a sudden have a real chance and get interesting. Plus, even if the Chiefs lose, I almost think it makes them more compelling for the rest of the year as they scratch and claw to try to make the playoffs, to try to get a chance to get into the tournament. So I think it's better for the NFL if the Cowboys win.

[Dan Patrick]

Joe Burrow is going to play against the Ravens. Like they may not make the playoffs. I'm talking about the Bengals. Obviously it's a long shot, but they're going to decide who wins the AFC north because you got the Ravens twice now. Chris Collinsworth yesterday said he would not bring back Joe Burrow. What do you think?

[Marvin Prince]

I don't think I would either. I don't think I would either. You know, unfortunately, Joe is injury prone. I think last year might have been the only year where he didn't get injured. It's clearly a lost season. Even in this game at Baltimore, you don't have Trey Hendrickson, you don't have T. Higgins. And I'm sure Burrow will play well enough in these games that they'll win a couple of them. And, you know, I think the fans will appreciate that he's out there playing. He wants to play, but man, he better be a hundred percent Dan. He better not be even a little bit compromised because I'm going to be watching that. We all will Thursday night. You know what they're going to do. They're going to bring pressure on them, make him move around. This is the NFL, okay? If they're not sure whether or not you're 100%, they're going to test it, right? Like if I played against a guy and he had a bad arm or had his hand in the cast, I attacked that arm, you know, like I, I ran that way. I mean, like, if there's a scab in the NFL, you pick it. So Joe Burrow better not have a scab because they'll attack it if he does.

[Dan Patrick]

Talking to Ross Tucker, the Ross Tucker Football podcast. You can follow him on social media @ Ross Tucker, NFL he'll be on the call for Iowa and Nebraska Friday at noon Eastern on cbs. Last weekend, you got to call Shador Sanders. First NFL start. Did he do enough to warrant starting against the Niners this weekend?

[Marvin Prince]

No question. I was impressed, Dan. I, I thought overall it was a very favorable evaluation. He didn't light the world on fire. They didn't need him to. He did have a tremendous throw on the run to Isaiah Bond. I just can't picture Dylan Gabriel making that play. But you know what it was, Dan? Maybe this is me as the former offensive lineman. It was the eye test. You know, he wasn't drifting out of the back of the pocket. He was stepping up as they encouraged him to do. He was getting rid of the ball pretty quickly. He was poised. He was composed. Now, I don't know why the Raiders didn't blitz him more than they did, but he only took one sack. He got fooled on an interception. That'll happen. I think he thought the guy was buzzing to the flat. They kind of tricked him on that one. But I would say the biggest thing for me was from that second half against the Ravens to this game against the Raiders, there was clear strides. I mean, he made significant improvement in getting rid of the ball and not taking sacks and not drifting back in the pocket. I, I like, like everybody else, especially Browns fans, I want to see more. I want to see how much he improves from start one to start two.

[Dan Patrick]

But you know this feeling as well as anybody. When you go to the line of scrimmage, you're, you're an offensive lineman. The difference between, I have no idea, two, you know, this guy's got a little bit of confidence there or he can throw the ball downfield. It just felt like he gave his team a lift because they knew that he, Dylan Gabriel's not making those 20 yard throws and Shador is not afraid. He's got a better arm and it just feels like they're a little more threatening now. I know when they got down to the goal line, they got into the red zone. They weren't, you know, it wasn't Shador. They were a running football team, which is what it feels like Kevin Stefanski still wants to be.

[Marvin Prince]

Yeah, they went to the Wildcat, which, by the way, I feel like. And I said this during the broadcast, that's so demoralizing for the Raiders. You know, when the other team says, we're gonna tell you right now, there's no chance we're throwing the ball, zero chance. And they still run it right down your throat. That's a little embarrassing if you ask me. But you're right about Shador drive. I'll say this. That was the best the offensive lines played all year, I thought. And it's. It's almost like talking with Joel Batonio the day before the game. They knew that they needed to, you know, rise their level of play to help Shador, to give him a chance. But did you see Miles Garrett's face when Shador threw that bomb to Bond? As, by the way, he was getting smashed by Max Crosby. You know, he did enough. And it's almost like his reputation precedes him. They know he had a lot of flashy plays in college that he did engender and Foster. I think some belief amongst the players, which really goes a long way now, that can go out of the window quick too. But I think, you know, if you have. If you think your quarterback gives you a legit chance and you feel good about your quarterback, it makes a big difference. I've been on both sides of that.

[Dan Patrick]

If I told you in August Matthew Stafford would win the NFL mvp, you would have said, what?

[Marvin Prince]

You're an idiot. I mean, Dan, this is how dumb I am. On the Even Money Betting podcast, all we kept saying is take the under on Stafford passing yards because remember, during training camp, he didn't do anything. He got. He had a herniated disc in his back. He got an epidural. He is having. I don't have the stats, maybe somebody can check me stat of the day, but he's having the greatest season by a 37 year old with a hernia disc in his background epidural and never practiced one time during training camp in NFL history. I mean, he's clearly the mvp after not doing anything.

[Dan Patrick]

He.

[Marvin Prince]

He's now setting the template for all older quarterbacks. I'm gonna do nothing during training camp, not practice. One time. I'll show up the first week of the season and just be awesome.

[Dan Patrick]

Safe travels to Nebraska. I hope it's a great Thanksgiving out there for you. Is that a direct flight?

[Marvin Prince]

It is not a direct flight. Nope. I'll be. I'll be pit stop. Quick pit stop in Chicago. But I like, you know, I love college football, I love rivalries, and I love how much this game means the people of Iowa and Nebraska. That's what you want, right? As a broadcaster. You want to be calling big games that mean a lot to the people involved.

[Dan Patrick]

That'll be Friday at noon eastern on cbs. Thank you, Ross.

[Marvin Prince]

Thank you, Dan.

[Dan Patrick]

That's the grace. Great. Ross Tucker. They're going to do Iowa and Nebraska. Dylan is out cooking. I was going to have him do his Thanksgiving related sports names. I think he's dashing in from outside. He's trying. He's doing double duty here. He's trying to cook, but also sitting in for Fritzi. Dylan, are. Are you capable of doing the sports names in, you know, honor of Todd Fritz? Who's not here?

[Dylan]

I am, Dan. I actually cooked up some purely based off of our menu today.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Here we go.

[Dylan]

Alrighty. So we got Squash Allen.

[Dan Patrick]

So Josh Allen. Squash Allen.

[Dylan]

Squash Allen.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Paul]

That's gonna bother Todd.

[Dylan]

Cooper Flag. Who's the white lobster named by this show?

[Dan Patrick]

He's the white lobster. Yep. Okay.

[Dylan]

Is that Cooper flag?

[Dan Patrick]

No, I got it. Okay. All right.

[Dylan]

Eric Musselman.

[Dan Patrick]

All right. We got muscles today. USC head coach Duck Devlin. Okay. Backup quarterback. Yeah.

[Dylan]

Got Doug.

[Dan Patrick]

All right.

[Dylan]

The Cornish Gamecocks. That was the. The closest I could get with that one.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Dylan]

And then Tyler Seabass. Tyler Seabass.

[Dan Patrick]

All of a sudden I'm missing Fritzi.

[Seaton]

You know, I think it might be. Which was, I think the original point. If we go all the way back to espn, it might be a. A design flaw and not necessarily an execution flaw. It might not be the person doing it. It just might be the entire concept of the names themselves. That's a flawed idea.

[Dan Patrick]

All right. When we come back, what we learn. What's in store for Thursday. Last call for phone calls and we play the stick or re pick lane Kiffin game. All of that coming up right after this.

[Dylan]

Very rock star of you. Losing your glasses mid gong.

[Dan Patrick]

Bang a gong. Get it on. Chris in Germany. Hi, Chris. What's on your mind today?

[Caller]

Hey, Dan. Well, I just called in. I am in the army. I was stationed in Kuwait all of 24 into 25. I was in an undiscovered disclosed place while I was there when the Iran Israel stuff was going on and I witnessed that. I found out two weeks after that was over that I had melanoma on my left leg. I flew to Germany. I had surgery. I was pretty much immobilized for a couple of months and feeling good, back to work on my feet. I'm stationed here in Germany and I'm going to be spending Thanksgiving in Brussels on a Trappist beer tour.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, who has it better than you do? Nobody. Well, Chris, I'm glad you're up and moving around and any part that we played in your rehab, glad to do it. That's us serving our country there by serving those who served our country. So thank you, Chris, and I hope it's a great day for you. Scott in Florida. Hi, Scott. What's on your mind? Scott? Scott. Randy in Wyoming. Hi, Randy. What's on your mind today?

[Caller]

Hey, Dan. Nice to talk to you guys. Talking about the best weekend. Josh Allen got his jersey retired and you in Wyoming got a dig in at the Chu Ram, saying it all it sucked to be around and then he flew home with Haley. Doesn't get much better now.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, well, thank you, Randy. Yeah. Josh Allen got his jersey retired. I would say marrying his girlfriend, Hailee Steinfeld. It's like winning a Super Bowl.

[Dylan]

Apparently her fan, some of her fans are not very nice to Josh Allen. Something I don't know, they're comparing. They're like all the Swifties love Travis Kelsey, but he's kind of Josh gets ragged on in the comments by Stein Feldians or whatever.

[Caller]

Wow.

[Paul]

It's just in.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, are you going to stick with your pick? Are you going to re. Pick where Lane Kiffin is going to be by this weekend? All right. Yes, Paul.

[Paul]

I'll go first. Last week I picked that he's going to lsu. I would think that even more so now after the delays.

[Dan Patrick]

Marvin.

[Marvin Prince]

I definitely think he's going to lsu.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, Seaton.

[Seaton]

I think. I think I picked Florida the last time I'm gonna. Although by the end of the segment, I feel like I also talked myself into the LSU as well. I'm gonna stick with Florida, though. The fella, he's just got Gator. I could see him in that uniform in those colors, visor, the whole thing. He feels like a Florida Gators.

[Dan Patrick]

How about you, Dylan?

[Dylan]

I don't know what Todd picked, but I have a bit of a curveball. Eli Manning interferes and between Ole Miss and the Giants, he helps him go to the Giants.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, no, he said the weather is too cold.

[Dylan]

Then he stays at Ole Miss.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, thank you. Either way Eli's involved, it could be either the Giants or Ole Miss is alma mater. Yeah, I think LSU just feels like it. If he was staying, he would announce it. If he announces it prior to the game and he is staying, great. But it just feels like it's going to leak. It'll leak before this game. Nobody keeps a secret anymore, so they'll probably have somebody say, you know what I was told, hey, don't tell anybody but Lane Kiffin is whatever. Sam and Aspen. Hi, Sam. What's on your mind today?

[Caller]

Adp. First time, long time. Been listening to you guys ever since I was a tiny boy. I wanted to throw out a Thanksgiving sports name hoping to salvage Dylan's attempt.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Caller]

All right. So I believe the young man who called earlier this hour who requested was Jack in New Hampshire. Jack in New Hampshire.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. All right. All right. We kind of bundled that together with all the other bad ones that Dylan had.

[Dylan]

Squash Allen is way better.

[Dan Patrick]

Squash Allen was great, but you should have stopped there.

[Dylan]

I had to do every food.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, okay. This day in Sports history. Paul.

[Paul]

1917, the NHL was founded. The first teams were the Montreal Wanderers, the Montreal Canadiens, the Ottawa Senators, the Toronto Arenas and the Quebec Bulldogs. And Barry Sanders in 1998 went over the 15,000 yard mark.

[Dan Patrick]

1989, Flipper Anderson, 15 catches, 336 yards and a touchdown. The Rams beat the Saints in overtime on this date. 1963, Roger Staubach wins the Heisman Trophy. Also on this date. 1975. Freddie Lynn, the first rookie ever to be named MVP. Former USC Trojan, Freddie Lynn. 1961. The Pro Baseball Rules Committee voted 8 to 1 against legalizing the spitball. How much more fun would we have somebody loading up a pitch? Big goober on there. Yes.

[Marvin Prince]

Marvin, the catcher wouldn't like it.

[Dan Patrick]

No, he would not. No. But imagine that, you know, you were allowed to throw a spitball before that. Carve it up a little bit. I remember talking to well known pitcher and I, I joke with him. I said, who scuffed your ball for you? And he said, my third baseman. And I go, oh. I said, okay. He said, yeah, one of the, one of those eyelets on your glove. And it was up a little bit. So he would get it and then he would, he would scuff it up his third baseman. Ah, the good old days. And cheating was cheating and we were okay with it. Let's go around the room, see if we learned anything on this program. Dylan, what did you learn today?

[Dylan]

According to Brady Quinn, defensive players, not the sharpest tools in the shed seat.

[Dan Patrick]

What did you learn today?

[Seaton]

I learned the original menu of the first Thanksgiving.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, 1621.

[Seaton]

How about that?

[Dan Patrick]

Marvin, did you learn anything today?

[Marvin Prince]

I did. See it. Likes his turkey dry.

[Dan Patrick]

Paul, what did you learn today?

[Paul]

With all the seafood back at Thanksgiving in 1621, probably not great for leftovers.

[Dan Patrick]

Maybe gout too. Probably factored in back then. Dylan, what did I learn today?

[Dylan]

First Thanksgiving. Not too shabby.

[Dan Patrick]

No, not too shabby at all. Hopefully the women look better than you're looking. With your outfit today, they probably looked.

[Dylan]

A lot like me.

[Dan Patrick]

They do. Honestly. Honestly.

[Promotional Announcer]

Honestly. No one wants to think about hiv.

[Dan Patrick]

But there are things that everyone can.

Do to help prevent it. Things like prep. Prep stands for pre exposure prophylaxis. And it means routinely taking prescription medicine before you're exposed to HIV to help reduce your chances of getting it. Prep can be about 99% effective when taken as prescribed.
