Our first day in Sacramento, Sacktown, Fox Sports 8.90am and 104.7 FM. Big thank you to the radio president, the Lotus Radio present, Jim Kalmanson and of course the GM there, Kurt Bagelman. Bagelman, yep. Yes. So Sacramento, now we're up to, I think 410 cities that carry this program. Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the program. Garage sale, everything on sale danpatrick.com we got to clear out the inventory all spring to get some new items there. At the end of last hour is wondering where Carson Wentz was going because Gardner Minshew is going to take his job as a backup for the Chiefs. And I'm thinking where is Carson Wentz going? And Fritzi said maybe the Titans. A little buzz about that. The little buzz. Okay, but that might be. Are you reporting this? I am not. Okay. Anyone's really reporting it. Okay. Speculation. Which we like to do. Okay. The Carson Wentz to the Titans, maybe in a backup role. You've had a lot of sleepless nights wondering where Carson Wentz was playing next. Not any longer, but five teams in the last five years. This won't be his last stop. Earlier today, Adam Schefter said that there was some growing interest with the Dallas Cowboys with Cooper Cup. I'm like, okay, Cooper Cup, Cowboys are interested. And then about 90 minutes later he reversed course to say that the Cowboys are not interested in Cooper Cup. I don't know what happened in the 90 minutes other than he probably heard from somebody who said we're not interested. Now you're hearing and this makes a lot of sense, Seattle. And the reason why I say that is you stay in the NFC West. He is from, I think Yakima and he played at Eastern Washington and they need some receivers. You could put him in there, maybe get a couple years with Cooper Cup. You could do worse, that's for sure. I don't know what the price tag is going to be. I think he was making 20 million with the Rams, but maybe you get a bargain there. And Devin McCourty, who former defensive back, joined us last hour and he said that's a guy you want in your receiver room. He's the guy who's going to make the other guys work harder and understand what it takes. Now as Cooper cup says that a lot of guys are more talented than me, but you're not going to outwork me. And he provided us with I think the greatest. Is there another. Another year of the receiver that is better than what Cooper cup did. You win the Triple Crown and you win the super bowl and you're the super bowl mvp? I don't think anybody has come up with anything that comes close to that because we've had a few receivers who've won the Triple Crown. How many have won the super bowl in the same year and how many have won the MVP in the Super Bowl? Yes, Paulie, I have a couple. 1995, Jerry Rice, 122 receptions, 1848 yards and 15 touchdowns. He finished second in the MVP that year. I'm checking if they won the super bowl that year. Now he finished second with the regular season mvp. Correct. Is that right? Yes. Who won the mvp? Did they, the Niners win the super bowl that year? Jerry was the mvp, I think one super bowl when they beat the Broncos in New Orleans, I believe. When they beat the Bengals, I believe. Oh, he was, I'm almost certain. Almost. Not a pie to the face, but 95. Sure. Yeah. But John Taylor caught the game winning touchdown pass against the Bengals. I think Jerry Rice had 87 catches in that game. No, he didn't. He. He had one big catch that set up the touchdown to John Taylor. Yes, Paul, the 95 Niners did not even make it to the Super Bowl. Well, that takes that year out. Even though as great as it was. No. Cooper cup had the greatest year a wide receivers ever had. Yeah, Paul. Yeah. A couple lists that I have here. They all three have Cooper cup up top. Another one is oh seven Randy Moss. 98 catches, 1500 yards, 23 touchdowns. Okay. Did not win the Super Bowl. Okay. Trying to think of anybody else would come close to that. I mean, I feel. Felt like Calvin Johnson always had a great year, but he didn't play in any meaningful playoff games. Yeah. Cooper Cup. Although Odell Beckham, it felt like was on his way to being the MVP of that Super Bowl. Is OBJ on a roster anymore? See still in Miami. Feels like there is the expiration date on that career. Yes, Marvin, he might be with Carson Wentz. Oh, in Tennessee. Just on the free agent market. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Okay. Also Jerry Rice did win the Super Bowl MVP for that super bowl against the Cincinnati Bengals. Really? He had 11 receptions for 215 yards and a touchdown. Okay. All right. Although day this is the start stat on the day stat of the day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the program. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app. Fritz. He was hoping Cooper cup could end up with the Broncos. Diana Rossini on her Scoop city podcast said that Cooper cup is not in the plans for the Denver Broncos. Does that really have any credibility? I don't know anybody. She doesn't know anything about that effort. So Diana Rossini, the athletic mentioned the Seahawks, Packers, Saints and Vikings at as teams having at least some level of interest in Cooper Cup. I'm not sure where the Cowboys name came out with this. Like, I, I understand that Jerry Jones likes, you know, hey, we got Cooper Cup. Can he play? I don't know, but we got Cooper Cup. I get, I get the Seahawks. That makes a lot of sense going back home. Packers. Yeah. Okay. Saints, Vikings, these are all NFC teams interested in him. All right, poll question for the final hour of the program. Seaton. What are we going to go with? By the way, it's a meat Friday. We have corned beef on the way. Who has it better than we do? All right, let's pull question for the final hour of this award nominated program we're putting up there. The Patrick Mahomes backup is a fantastic gig or not one that you want. Okay. Not great. Yeah. All right. I think it's got its pluses and minuses. Yeah, yeah, I get it. I mean, they're hoping you don't play. They don't want you to play unless you play for two reasons. This game is so out of hand. Or your starting quarterback just got injured. Yeah. If you're playing, it's either really great or really terrible. Yeah, man. I still go back to Carson Wentz, his second season in the league. Now since 1970, there are two quarterbacks who had at least 30 touchdowns and fewer than 10 interceptions in their second NFL season. One is Carson Wentz in 2017. He had 33 touchdown passes and he had seven interceptions. Lamar Jackson in 2019 was 36 touchdown passes and six interceptions. Brought to you by Panini America. And you talk about on the cusp of winning the MVP and then you get replaced. Finished third in MVP race and then your backup wins the Super Bowl. And that was it. Pretty much. That was it done. Yeah, Paulie. Yeah. He started more games in Philly. He had a nice season in Indy and now he's a bouncing around backup. But it's really wild that he was third for mvp. It's an unbelievable season and there's only so much injury that happened. He didn't lose his ability to play the position, did he? Or confidence. Well, that I think is what maybe have Wentz that see what I did. That's what nice went to wait blood. You know that trying to go in for the touchdown against the Rams and got sandwiched and blowed his knee. Yeah. Paul, I have an article from summer of 2018. If you could start your team with any quarterback under 25 years old, Carson Wentz is in first place. By the way, why is it Kansas City loves former Jacksonville Jaguar quarterbacks Blaine Gabbard, Chad Henney, Gardner, Minshew? It's kind of interesting, huh? I. Yeah. Well, it's weird, weird, weird coincidence there. Yes. Paul, quick poll question. Would you rather be the Jaguar starter or the backup for the Kansas City? Barely kidding. I would rather be the starter. Always rather be the starter. Yeah. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Absolutely. See, we touched on Steph Curry. We touched on basketball. No bids last night, no bids tonight, but plenty of them over the weekend. We get ready for March Madness and Selection Sunday. Cooper Flag probably not going to play. I was curious about the odds now, the odds to win the ACC tournament. Duke is still a big favorite to win. Then Louisville, Clemson and North Carolina. That's according to DraftKings odds to win March Madness. Duke is now second to Auburn. Before Cooper Flag's injury, it was duke at a plus 320. Now they're plus 360. So it's Auburn and then it's Duke. Houston and Florida are tied and then it's Alabama. But that's the updated odds with DraftKings. Josh in California. Hi, Josh. What's on your mind today? Good morning, Dan and the Danette, longtime listener, second time caller. I was going to talk about sports, but this is a special request. My wife listens to you guys every day on her way to work. Her name is Fabienne. If you guys can say that, that'd be amazing. She just turned the big five zero. There's a way to wish her a happy birthday on the radio. I think she's still listening. I think she gets into work about 8:15, 8:30 our time in California. So that would be great if you guys could wish her a happy birthday. Is. Is it Sabian? So it's F as in Frank, A, B as in boy, I, E, N, N, E. So it's the female version of Fabian. Oh, Fabian, Fabian, Fabian French. Okay. Bonjour. Wow, she speaks French. Yeah. Wow. Yes. Okay, how about Je. Tim. Yeah. We. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. I wish I knew French. Thank. Thank you, Josh. Nailed it. Yeah. Her name is French and she speaks French. Happy birthday in French is J, O, Y, E, U, X. Joy to the world. You guys are cultured. I. We are. So much culture. We are. Especially in the back row. Yeah. Yeah. Nailed it. Nailed it. I speak French fluently. I do. I. I don't know what I'm saying, but I. I do speak it fluently. Dylan in California. Hi, Dylan. What's on your mind today? Hey, morning, boys. Happy meat Friday. Excellent French, by the way. Dan Achupate. I should say two things real quick. What direction do you boys feel like the Niners are going right now with the current fire sale of the 49ers? And also a shout out tribute to my grandma who passed away on Tuesday at the ripe age of 91. She's a big Joe Montana fan and, well, how can you not be if you're an American? Thank you, Dylan. We don't have a song for those who have passed away. Just letting you know. I mean, we could. We could workshop. You know, we have Dead Dad's club. But maybe Fritzi could come up with a Grandma passed away. I don't know. It seems kind of insensitive. It does. I was. I was just joking with that. Oh, you didn't. Yeah, and I didn't want you to. Here comes that dead person of the day. I'm sorry. Your grandmother's name. Gladys. Oh, classic. Go away, Jinx. Yeah, look at that. Jinx. There is certain names where you can envision what the person looks like. Like for some reason, it just feels like there are names that you can't give to a baby because it belongs to an older, like Martha. Gladys. Just certain names where you go, I know what. I know what that person looks like. Yeah. I know that haircut exactly. Little Bob that she's got there. Yes, Marvin. All right, so my son has this friend. I'm gonna say his name, this little boy named Gerald. And so when I first met him, like, oh, what's your friend's name? He's like, oh, his name's Gerald. I said, hold on. And so I know his mother. I said, can I ask you a question? Is he like the third? Yes. How'd you know? I was like, cause I know an old black name when I hear one. Gerald. There ain't no way in blue hell you named a baby in 2014. Gerald. I knew that was the third hairline's already like LeBron. Oh, for sure. I was like, damn, Gerald. Like Gerald Lavert. My God. Gerald Riggs, former running back. Yes, Todd. Are there any Slim Berthas you think out there that'd be. That's not. Wow. No, I'm not talking about somebody with. I'm just saying you hear a certain name, you picture a certain thing. No, I'm. I'm picturing what they. Look. I'm not that they're female. Name of the. The name, Todd, actually is Bertha. Wow. The equivalent. If someone told me, you got to meet Heather, I'd be like, okay, I'd love to meet Heather. I don't know if I want to meet Bertha so fast. Yeah, that one's a tough one. Like, there's certain names where you go, you can't give that to a baby. You just can't. Like Harry. You just can't. You can't name a baby Harry. No. Well, that's become hot in the last 10 years. Yeah, I know. But I had a big resurgence. Can't do it. Are you weighing in on your. Your kids are at the ages now where they're procreating. Yes. There. Right. Having kids. Are you weighing in on the name? No. Good. That's great. Nope. As my mom said to me, you have them, you name them. And she never, ever offered up an opinion, and we don't either. So got a second one on the way in June. A granddaughter. A grandson, I should say. And we don't even ask. So what are you thinking? I mean, like, the only thing I would say to my son is, don't name, you know, him after me. Because that's a hell of a legacy to live up to, and you shouldn't really do that. Yes. Checking the history. Bertha was very popular name in Germany in the past few hundred years. Great. Yep. Bertha. I don't know if you could have, like, a swimsuit model, you know, Bertha. I don't think so. Any other names, Don, that you're thinking of? That I. That I would have a certain thinking. Yeah. About like a Myrna or a Sheila. I don't know if they're making. I don't know if they're gonna be Miss August or anything. I could be wrong. Miss August. Like Ethel. Ethel. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right, we'll take a break.

We explore how work impacts our mental health, how neurodiversity impacts our careers, and how companies impact our well being. Is work broken? It's hard to say that work is broken because work is work and the system itself doesn't favor workers. I would say that the system is unsustainable.

On Peacock and NBC, we'll talk to Mike Tannenbaum, former NFL general manager. He'll join us. Coming up, the corned beef has arrived in the man cave. And of course, the first thing Fritzi says is, are there any sides? Do we have potatoes? Do we have carrots? Do we have dessert? Soda bread? Yes. That's nice. Yes. Because when you earlier, when you said, who has it better than we do? After said, today we're having corned beef. And I was waiting for. The list is usually like a list, and it was just you kind of stopped at corned beef, so I'm like, okay, corned beef and corn beef. Is that not good enough for you? That's fantastic. The soda bread I wasn't aware of, so that counts. Yes. J.D. in Utah. Hi, J.D. what's on your mind today? Well, mom, let's switch it to my. Can you hear me, J.D. can you hear me? Yeah. Can you hear me? Yeah. That's awesome. Did I interrupt anything? I'm just at work. Okay, let's guess where J.D. works. Todd. Some kind of factory. He said something like, can we switch it to. I don't know if he's doing something with electronics. Okay. Seaton, where's JD Work? In Utah. In Utah? Yeah, I think an office building. He does I t. Okay. Marvin sells insurance. All right. Paul, Mechanic. I'm gonna say nursery. Nobody quite nailed it. I'm a carpenter. Okay. Nailed it. Yeah. Oh, I saw right through that. That's why you're the ruler. Wow. Would you like to be me? You guys are out of control right now. This is wild. Yeah, yeah. See what you're getting, Sacramento? Every morning, that's what you're going to be getting. Scripted but great. Jd, what can I do for you? So we've got a baby girl coming in July. Okay. Sorry I muted you. Congratulations. Congratulations. Okay, so we've got a baby girl coming in July. We are thinking about naming her Miller. And you've given advice to people in the past that you should give a gift. And I was just kind of wondering what type of gift. And, like, when do you give it? Like, do you give it right after it's all to your. To your wife? Yes. Okay. Yes. Todd. I'd say six pack of beer. If you're calling the kid Miller, you know, what else would you do? Yeah. Yeah. Hopefully she's light. I am killing it today. God. Wow. I am dominating today. I am dominating. Hopefully she has a good head on her shoulders. Killing it. Killing. All right, so when do you give a gift to your wife? I would say give it to her when she comes home, because she might be. If she has an epidural, she might not be, like, all there, you know, going through childbirth. I can only imagine having been there four times and I nearly passed out one time. I'd say, wait until you get home. I don't know what the gift's going to be. I don't know how, you know, Heavy. You want to go in? Did you guys do, like, a month's salary? Is that still what you do for engagement rings? Is it. Is a two times or three times a monthly salary or something silly like that, Paulie. Mine was my life savings at the time. I was down to 150 bucks after the buy. Yeah, I don't. I never got caught up in the cost of it. I just found the ring that I wanted to give my wife. I thought that. That. And. And she was fine with that. Yes. Seaton. I got a family ring. Oh, yeah. Her family ring. That's good. Yeah. Oh, even better. Yeah. It's like, sure, I'd love to give you your mom's ring or your grandmother's ring. He's like, hey, if we're doing this, this is my ring, right? I'm like, heck, yeah. Yeah. Sweet. Yes. Todd. Yeah, we walked out like that, too. This was like some kind of family heirloom that gets passed down so we didn't have to spend all kinds of money. Doug Whey, former GM with the Buffalo Bills, was on 93.7 the Fan in Pittsburgh and had this to say about Aaron Rodgers. If I'm Omar Khan and I'm the Pittsburgh Steelers, one, you shouldn't be surprised. And two, you have to sit down and really think about, do we want to sign up for this? Because he's setting the table in the precedent early. It's all about Aaron Rodgers and it has nothing to do with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's going to hold the whole franchise hostage on waiting for him to make a decision. But that's par for the course when you deal with a guy like Aaron Rodgers. So you have to make sure you really want this, not only in your locker room, but to be the face of your franchise. It's not going to be the Pittsburgh Steelers anymore. It's going to be Aaron Rodgers, Pittsburgh Steelers. All right, Doug Whaley, former Bills General Manager, on 937 the Fan in Pittsburgh, we bring in Mike Tannenbaum, former general manager in the NFL. Let's follow up with that. Mike, how is Aaron Rodgers supposedly holding the Steelers hostage? Well, if you're the Steelers, you just traded for DK Metcalf, Dan. You gave him $30 million a year and a second round pick, and your plan is not to throw the ball from Mason Rudolph to George Pickens and DK Metcalf. I'm sure they're sitting there thinking like, it's not ideal, but if we go with Russell Wilson, we'll go with Russell Wilson. But Aaron Rodgers gives us a chance to get to where we want to go. Last year, dan, they averaged 14 points per game over their last five games. Okay, but how does Minnesota factor into all of this? And is it Minnesota who's holding the Steelers hostage? I think that's right, and that's astounding to me. First of all, you and I have been around the sport a long time. Can you ever remember a team losing three quarterbacks in the period of 10 days? Nick Mullins, Daniel Jones and Sam Darnold. Kevin O'Connell must be, you know, the modern day quarterback whisperer. It's really remarkable. I think it's different, though, in terms of bringing in Aaron Rodgers. If you and I were running the Vikings, it all would be about what's the best situation for J.J. mcCarthy. And I don't understand how Aaron Rodgers fits that bill. But if you're the Steelers, why don't you just say to Aaron Rodgers, we need a decision by today, like, we have to move on here. We want you, but I need to know how much you want us. And maybe he's telling the Steelers. I don't. I may want you, but I really want that Minnesota situation better than this or, you know, it's a better opportunity, a higher ceiling there. Dan, look like you don't have to be hypothetical. That's what's happening right now. Because why else would Aaron Rodgers be waiting? And I agree with you 100%, taking into Omar Khan, GM the Steelers. Look, Aaron, we are signing Russell Wilson today. Like, you don't have to worry about reading about it, hearing about from your agent. I am giving you the answers to the test. If you do not sign by close of business today, you will be reading that Russell Wilson is a Steeler and you're either going to be backing up JJ McCarthy or you're going to be in MetLife. And let me ask you a question, Aaron. What was the last time there was a giant quarterback since Eli Manning that went to the Giants and it worked out well. So the decision is happening today. We love you, we want you, but we have to run our team in our best interest and we're giving you all the information. Mike Tanenbaum, you can see him on get up a variety of programs, NFL Live and Sports Center. What are the Cleveland Browns doing? I think for them, it's a little bit different. I think that's a little bit more about stability. Look, Jameis Winston, you know, was, look, let's be gracious here, inconsistent last year. I think for them, they need optionality. If we were speaking three weeks ago, I think talking to people around the league, I think Tennessee was going to consider moving on from Cam Ward. That's not going to happen. You know, they went out and they signed Dan Moore, they moved J.C. latham to the right side, they signed Zeitler. Everything they're doing says they're taking Cam Ward. So for the Browns, Russell Wilson at least gives us a step up from a consistency standpoint over Jameis Winston. It's a consequential year for Andrew Barry and Kevin Stefanski. So like to be. They're just looking for stability and that's what Russell Wilson brings. Okay, but would you rather have Kirk Cousins or Russell Wilson? If you're the Browns, 100%, it's Kirk Cousins. If we go back to Minnesota, where Kirk Cousins had a ton of success for a lot of those years, Kevin Stefanski was the offensive coordinator. Right now, you know, the Atlanta Falcons have told Kirk Cousins and his agent repeatedly, you're not going anywhere. On Sunday, he has a $10 million roster bonus that becomes guaranteed. It's. It's next year, but it becomes fully guaranteed. I'm just telling you, like Dan bringing it inside a franchise. If a player doesn't want to be there, like you don't want them there. Like everything is about Michael Pennix in Atlanta. And if Kirk Cousins is saying that I don't want to be there and I'm not going to be in the off season program, I'm going to show up late, be the first one to leave, like go out and get a Drew Lock or a Jacoby Brissette as a backup and cut your losses. You know, we've seen great franchises like the Rams paid, you know, Jared Goff over $100 million and move on. We've seen the Eagles pay, Jared went, excuse me, CARSON Wentz over $100 million and move on. And I think you show me a franchise with good mental toughness, I'll show you a good franchise and that's what Atlanta needs to do with Kirk Cousins. Which situation do you like better quarterbacking wise, the Raiders with Gino or the Seahawks with Sam Darnold? Yeah, I'm very intrigued by Seattle and Sam Darnold. I think first of all, that was masterclass GMing to get seven years younger, less expensive at a third round pick. Do I think Geno Smith arguably may be a little bit better than Sam Darnold? Possibly. But I think Smith and Jigba, if he was on the east coast, we'd be talking about an emerging star at receiver. Clearly they're going to have to add another piece or two there. Offensive line has to get a little bit better. But the fact that Clint Kubiak, their new offensive coordinator, knows Sam Darnold from their San Francisco days I think is meaningful. We had Steve Young on yesterday and he said that there's some organizations that are stuck in the stone age. I'm going to paraphrase that. Unless you're part of the Sean McVeigh tree, Kyle Shanahan tree, Andy Reid tree, then you're in the stone ages when it comes to offense. Those guys understand what the, what is the future in the NFL and certainly at the quarterbacking position. Your thoughts on that? I think, you know, that is somewhat true. You know, it's interesting going through this jet head coaching search. We talked to a lot of people, learned a lot and some of the feedback we got from the defensive coaches was fascinating. And the trend in the league is, you know, looking at shifts, motion, all the pre SAP movement. It does put, you know, logically, as you would think, it puts pressure on the opposing team's defense. Like when the picture is static, which some classic quarterbacks like Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers, they want the picture to be static. They want to collect information. But the more you talk to defensive coaches around the league, all those things that teams do, it, it, it just puts pressure. Like, Dan, you're a former athlete. Like when you have to think you're not playing as fast as when you're just reacting. So I think there is something to it now, to shift in motion, just to shift in motion, you know, like that doesn't really accomplish things. But I generally agree with Steve. I think the other thing too is it's not a one size fits all approach. If you have a backup player in who's making 1/20 of a starter, which happens a lot in our system because of the salary cap, you have to plan accordingly. If your backup tackles in, you have to chip, you have to slide protections. You can't put the backup left tackle on the same island that you can, you know, Trent Williams or fill in whatever blank. And I think some coordinators understand that concept better than others. I'll leave you with this. If you ran the Titans, if you were the gm, what are you doing at the top of the draft? Cam Ward. Cam Ward and Cam Ward. I think the most impressive part about the the combine, Dan, was what the Miami University of Miami offensive lineman and teammates said about Cam Ward. I'm a big believer in life is who you really are, is how you treat people that can help you. Kim Ward was a selfless leader. He has what it takes. I think his intangibles are off the charts and they shouldn't answer the phone if someone calls him. Great to talk to you. Have a good weekend. Thank you, Mike. All right, thanks, Dan. Mike Tannenbaum, former general manager with two teams in the NFL and pretty high praise there with Cam Ward going number one overall. Just saw this that Diana Rossini of the Scoop City podcast and the Athletics said nobody with the Steelers believes Aaron Rodgers camp that the quarterback has chosen them or going to choose them. ESPN's Kevin Seifert reported Wednesday the Vikings have, quote, at least been entertaining the possibility internally of signing Rogers. Ian Rapaport of NFL Network said the Giants have essentially told Rogers that they want him to be their starting quarterback. Jerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette noted the Steelers have extended an offer to Rogers and they're just waiting for him. The Giants, according to Diana Rossini, are believed to have made the largest contract offer to Rogers. I don't know what any of this means because we're talking about Aaron Rodgers, we'll take a break. Last call for phone calls what we learn what's in store for Monday?

The CEO of JPMorgan Chase, on standing out from the leadership crowd. Develop your EQ A lot of people have plenty of brains, but EQ is do you trust me? Do I communicate well? You know, when you walk in a room, do people feel good you're there? Are you responsive to people? Do people know you have a heart? Develop the team, develop the people. Create a system of trust and it works over time.

I'm Maura Ahrensmiele, host of the Anxious Achiever. It's a show that looks at where we spend most of our waking hours work. We explore how work impacts our mental health, how neurodiversity impacts our careers, and how companies impact our well being. Is work broken? It's hard to say that work is broken because work is work and the system itself doesn't favor workers. I would say that the system is unsustainable. Is capitalism and work just relentless, cruel and unsustainable? Which is really my experience and my family's experience. So in that way, yeah, it's broken. Listen to the Anxious achiever on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts made it to a Friday and this is how we close up shop. Ever since I was a tiny boy I don't want no candy I don't need no touch. Our good buddy Lou brought some corned beef. We got some soda bread. We also have carrots there, some cabbage, and I'm looking forward to a beer coming up here in about 14 minutes from now. But who's counting? Final results of the poll question Seaton, what do you have for me. Oh boy. Let's see right now we've got up there. The Patrick Mahomes backup job is a fantastic gig or I don't want that gig. Okay, 75% have it as fantastic. Okay, It's a fantastic like if you don't want to play football but you still get to wear a uniform and get paid well, not only do you not want to play football, you like, you hope you don't won't play football. I don't ever want to go in because you know why you're going in unless it's a blowout. But you know these Chiefs don't blow these chief teams don't blow anybody out. You're always in. How many one score games did they play in last year? I mean it was in double digits. It's probably 13 or 14 one score games, which is crazy to think that you know how many games they won and you go to the super bowl that way. All right, this day in sports history. Paulie, what do you have for me? 1962, Wilt Chamberlain of the Warriors. Philadelphia warriors played every minute of every game for 40 consecutive. 47 consecutive games. The streak ended with the warriors. Next game he came out. AFL NFL had their first common draft in 1967. The first player chosen was anybody 67 draft. Bubba Smith, defensive lineman for Michigan State. Michigan State. The Cincinnati Royals of the NBA announced they moved to Kansas City. That was a bad day for me. Yep, bad day. Sorry, Dan. Bad day. Blank of the Atlanta Hawks scored the six millionth point. Tough to say in NBA history. Here's a hint. Very popular college player. Good pro player, early 90s. Yes. Marvin. Stacy Ogman. Stacy Ogman is correct. Wow, you are amazing. I got, I got to win some money doing this, man. I make money doing this, but I got to really win some money. Lou Louis, you, you would have been good on Sports Jeopardy if we were still doing that show. Reboot. No, no, I love doing it. I thought it was great. I just, I couldn't get them. I wanted to have that. I wanted to reboot Sports Jeopardy. But I was trying to get them to move it to Connecticut to Stanford. Connecticut. And there are a lot of TV shows like Jerry Springer and Maury Povich. They're in Stanford, Connecticut. And I thought, but Jeopardy. Would not let the product off the Sony lot. They guard the clues with their life. And I said, well, you can still have the clues and make sure nobody, you know, reads them or I don't know. They would not allow it to go off campus on the Sony lot. But I thought that was so much fun to do it. And then you realize, like, I know a lot of sports, there are some people who know a whole lot more than I do. But also the ability to be able to, you know, you're seeing the category, seeing the clues, and then I, you know, I'm reading the question to you and then you have to time it correctly. You're on tv, you know, it's not like when you're sitting at home and you're doing Jeopardy. You're yelling at man, I'm killing it. Yeah, be on the show, lights on, you get dressed up and all of a sudden you're trying to buzz in. And then let me know how you do. Big weekend in college basketball. What is the lead story on Monday? Lead story Monday, Todd, in your opinion will be concern about Cooper Flag's injury and the tournament that's starting. Okay, okay, Seaton, what's the lead story of this show on Monday? Oh, man, it might be. It's probably going to be something football related. Okay, maybe Aaron Rodgers still not signing. Okay. Marvin Russell Wilson signing with the Giants. Okay. Paul trying to go non football teams like North Carolina not making the postseason and the heat on those coaches. I'm going to say Duke not winning the ACC tournament. Maybe that will be the lead. I mean, it could be Aaron Rodgers. Either he has signed or he hasn't signed. Or if the Lakers lose a couple more games, I could see that LeBron's timeframe for coming back, you know. Cause we're starting to get to crunch time here now with the number of games left. Yes, Marvin, I'm sorry, let me retract. Teams being snubbed out of NCAA tournament. Even though there's 68 of them and they were like, oh, we were 18 and 13. You had plenty of opportunities. You have a better record. I find it, I don't want to say offensive. I find it embarrassing that they want to extend the tournament to 76 schools. Stop. We went from 64 to 68. And I don't know if anybody voted on it. It felt like it was like, I don't know. Anybody gonna notice this? I'm going 64 to 68. Hey, we got 68. What happened there? I don't know. Not no one on my watch. I don't need 76. Like have some exclusivity, have it mean something to make the tournament. Now if you don't, I always say this. If you don't make the tournament, your job should be in jeopardy. Yes, Paulie, I'M totally against expanding the tournament. It's such a perfect product. I'll bet you within two months they announced the expansion. Well, okay. We talked to the head of the ncaa, Charlie Baker, a while ago and it felt like he was telling us without telling us they were going to go to 76. It's one of those where you kind of float it out and then you see how people react. And I don't know if there was that much aversion to it. Bob in Montana. Hi, Bob. Welcome back. Oh, hey, D.P. while you're talking about cool names, my younger daughter's name is Guinevere. Just in time for St. Patrick's Day. But the real reason I'm calling is if you keep your original retirement date of Christmas Eve 2027, then this March through 30th in just two weeks is going to be day number 1000 and counting until the final show. So I thought your new. I'll just Fritz, you could jump into action and plan something for that day. Or maybe you could do a special meet Monday or meet Friday barbecue before day. Okay, that numerology stuff. Thank you, Bob. But what if I extend it to after the Super Bowl? Then that kind of ruins the thousand thousand show mark. Which is it. It. It. It's at least on the discussion table. It's at least on the discussion table. That and I haven't spoken to management about this. Of what if we go through the Super Bowl? Haven't done that. But full transparency with you guys. Just letting you know, plan accordingly. Yes. You'd be happier if they said yes or no? I don't know that. I don't. I don't know. Wow. Because if they say no, we're not going to do that. What the hell you mean though? Then I get. I get credit for saying, man, I tried at management. They stood in my way. Todd, what'd you learn today? You believe the Minnesota Vikings are holding the Steelers hostage, not Aaron Rodgers? No. See? Make up your mind, Steelers. Marvin Carson Wentz is a free agent. Paul 4,000 threes. Todd, what did I learn? Mike Tanmatt says the Steele should tell Aaron Rodgers we're signing Russell Wilson today. If you're not ready to join us, Tyrack.com the official tire expert or the DP show.
