Nick Wright
Okay?
- [02:22]

Nick Wright
You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. Cowboys introduced their new head coach Jerry Jones certainly felt like that. It felt like it was Jerry Jones being introduced as the head coach instead of Brian Schottenheimer, shoddy as they like to call him. The Raiders introduced Pete Carroll, the Jags introduced Liam Cohen, and the jets said hello to Aaron Glenn. We'll look at all four of these situations. I look at the quarterbacking situations with all four of these coaches because let's start with Aaron Glenn. He's not sure if Aaron Rodgers is going to be his quarterback. He said he's kind of open discussions talking to Aaron. But I mean, next week maybe you make a decision, come. You know, you got to get a decision here soon. But what's your backup option there for the jets and Aaron Glenn? Liam Cohen goes from Baker Mayfield Jr III to to taking over the Jags, and Trevor Lawrence would appear to be in a pretty good position to maybe revitalize him just like he did with Baker Mayfield. The Raiders with Pete Carroll. Feels like Sam Darnold is on the front burner here. Got to get your quarterback now as I said when Pete was inter when it was announced that he got the job, I said what about Russell Wilson here? Because if I'm the Steelers, I'm looking at Justin Fields moving forward, not Russell Wilson. But I have no idea what Mike Tomlin and Arthur Smith are planning on. It would help if you got a couple of weapons, no matter who the quarterback's going to be. But I might see Russ available for reuniting with Pete Carroll. Cowboy situation. Brian Schottenheimer, who didn't call the plays last year but is going to call the plays now as the head coach and he's stuck with Dak Prescott and that contract. That's $231 million for a 32 year old quarterback who is injury prone. So he's a good quarterback. Dak is probably the best option of all of these quarterbacks. You know, maybe we see Trevor Lawrence live up to what I think everybody thought he was going to, certainly that contract as well. But I'm looking at Those situations, trying to figure out who's going into a good situation. Brian Schottenheimer, I think we know the situation he's going into. Aaron Glenn wanted the job, and if you look, Aaron Glenn is a former New York Jet first round pick, so he kind of knows the landscape there. The Jags with Liam Cohen. I gotta be honest, I didn't know much about him. I still don't know much about him. I'd still like to hear exactly what happened when you were interviewing, obtaining this offer, going back to Tampa, telling Baker Mayfield you're coming back, and then all of a sudden you end up as the Jags head coach. I get it. I mean, I understand why you took the job. I just. I don't know. The timeline's a little weird, and I guess I'm curious about that. But, you know, what he's saying is basically, hey, let's just move on. Here is Liam Cohen on passing up and couldn't pass up this opportunity.
- [06:03]
Adnan Virk
The opportunity to coach in Tampa was.
- [06:05]
Dan Patrick
A phenomenal one to get my feet wet in the NFL as the offensive coordinator, and I thank them so much for that opportunity. As you continue to do more research and gain in more information as you.
- [06:16]
Adnan Virk
Go, it started to become more clear with every hour that this was an opportunity that you just can't pass up.
- [06:24]
Dan Patrick
And you ultimately want to do truly what's best for you and your family.
- [06:30]
Adnan Virk
And that's what this came down to.
- [06:32]
Nick Wright
Okay, let's do an emergency. Fill in the blank. After watching Liam Cohen at his press conference yesterday, you get. You get one word to describe him. Todd. Liam Cohen is blank.
- [06:44]
Dan Patrick
Corny.
- [06:45]
Nick Wright
Dylan. Adorable.
- [06:49]
Dan Patrick
All right.
- [06:52]
Nick Wright
Okay. I didn't have that on my bingo card. Marvin Dorky. Oh, Duvall. Let me hear it. Duvall. It had a little bit of. Here's Johnny Duvall.
- [07:12]
Dan Patrick
Paulie Quirky in a good way.
- [07:16]
Nick Wright
Well, if he wins, then we forget about all of this stuff. I mean, I'm sure Jacksonville media, they're glad to have him. And let's go, let's fix our quarterback and let's get back into the postseason. Tampa Bay, still a little frosty of how that divorce happened? Divorce? Yes. Todd, do you not want your coach to come across a little intimidating on some way, shape or form if you're a fan of a team that wants to move to the next level? Not that you got to be a jerk and nasty to the press, but there's got to be a middle ground. Was he too nice for you? You wanted more of the Aaron Glenn where Aaron Glenn's fiery. I think I do because I'm pissed off. I want my team to, you know, this is a joke. All it's time. I want my coach to be kind of angry and less silly, goofy looking. All right, here's Aaron Glenn, the Jets head coach yesterday players that's here. Now. Put your seat belts on and get ready for the ride. Put your seat belts on and get.
- [08:10]
Dan Patrick
Ready for the ride.
- [08:11]
Nick Wright
Listen, there are going to be some challenges, but what challenges becomes opportunity gets opportunity. But here's what I do know. We're the freaking New York jets, so we're built for this. Who's with me? Come, let's go. All right. He's a podium pounder, and that bothers me. Oh, yeah. Saban did that a little bit. I'm not a, you know, hey, you're. You're a podium pounder. Yes.
- [08:36]
Dan Patrick
Your punctuation when you're a coach. The podium, that Saban did that for years. I think that's like, I'm ready to hit someone, but I can't, so I gotta hit this piece of wood.
- [08:46]
Nick Wright
So, Fritz, you like Aaron Glenn? You'd want to play for Aaron Glenn. I want someone that says, you know, bite kneecaps, not like, massage them gently. Okay. That would be how I would say that. All right. Dylan finds Liam Cohen adorable. I'm guessing that would be an ideal quarterback for or a coach for you. Yeah. And I find Gladden saying were the.
- [09:06]
Adnan Virk
New York jets were built for this. I don't think that's true.
- [09:10]
Nick Wright
Liam Cohen, by the way, former college quarterback, I think, at UMass and actually had a really nice career there. Brian Schottenheimer. That's just a kind of a. I don't know how to describe that. Press. I. I've seen a lot of press conferences. I've attended a lot of press conferences with some of the biggest names who've ever coached. That's as weird as I've ever witnessed a press conference where it became. It was a little bit about Brian Schottenheimer. It was a whole lot about Jerry Jones. A whole lot about Jerry. Brian Schottenheimer remembering his father, Marty. He starts to cry. And it was like a nice moment. And then Jerry has to bring up that he too lost his dad. And then he. He started crying as well.
- [10:00]
Dan Patrick
He hijacked it.
- [10:01]
Nick Wright
And I'm going, wait, did your dad just die, Jerry? No, it became like Jerry. I. It felt like Jerry was taking over the Cowboys as their head coach. It really did. And he kept, you know, he was talking about this that you Know, I took a big risk on that. Like, it felt like Brian Schottenheimer wasn't there. But one of my favorite moments was when Stephen Jones, Jerry's son, the Cowboys president, had this to say. Well, I think we.
- [10:33]
Dan Patrick
You know, you always have to evaluate, you know, where. Where it didn't go right last year, and obviously, we're also evalu. Where it didn't go right, you know, in terms of, you know, this drought that people say we're in, in terms of a championship game or a Super bowl, and, you know, we just have to continue to make this roster better.
- [10:55]
Nick Wright
He did air quotes around the word drought. You know, it's real. He made it seem like, oh, you guys have brought up this drought. It's 30 years. That's a real drought. Yes, Todd, what's. People say we're in. All you gotta do is look at the records of the last 30 years. It's there, like, in black and white. That's not a theory. That they actually did go to a couple Super Bowls and we just all missed it. We were like Rip Van Winkle. We woke up and we missed some of the championships. It's not a rumor that you haven't been to a Super Bowl. It's fact. I don't need a second source on this, Stephen. And the fact when he went air quotes with a drought and I went, oh, my God, are we delusional here? Yes, Dylan, to put into perspective, that drought is older than I am. So if that helps you visualize it a little bit.
- [11:53]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, Paulie, you use air quotes when something isn't real. Like back when I was in jail. No, you were in jail, dude. You actually were in jail. You served time.
- [12:01]
Nick Wright
Well, you know, my wife is pregnant. Air quotes. No, no. She either is or isn't. Yes, Todd. Chris Farley used to do a skit with air quotes. Like, when on the news. Seminary people say I'm overweight.
- [12:14]
Dan Patrick
Slovenly.
- [12:18]
Nick Wright
It was fascinating. It really was, to watch that. And here's Jerry trying to convince you that he knows football. His dad taught him football. Hey, I took a risk on shoddy here. It was as if Brian Schottenheimer wasn't there. Here is. Here's Jerry on his comfort zone. If you don't think I can't operate out of my comfort zone, you're so wrong. It's unbelievable. This is as big a risk as you could take. As big a risk as you could take. No head coaching experience. Okay. Why?
- [12:56]
Dan Patrick
He's.
- [12:57]
Nick Wright
He's motioning with Brian Schopenheimer. With his thumb like this guy. I took a risk. You didn't have to. I. Mike Vrabel's not a risk. Or Ben Johnson, probably not a risk, but I took. I'm out of my comfort zone. I'm going. You don't have to be. Hell. Higher, Dion. God. I mean, I know it's too late, but that would have made more sense of what the Cowboys have become like. I don't know what it is, but you gotta watch it. It may be a car accident, and it's not pretty, but I. You're gonna watch it. Then we got Pete Carroll. Pete Carroll's fired up. Somebody said, hey, every time Pete mentions Tom Brady, you gotta do a shot. I would have been hammered quickly. Here is Pete Carroll, the Raiders head coach.
- [13:58]
Adnan Virk
He's been integrally involved, you know, wherever.
- [14:01]
Nick Wright
Wherever.
- [14:02]
Adnan Virk
I know that the process could allow.
- [14:03]
Dan Patrick
Him to be in.
- [14:05]
Nick Wright
Seen him, you know, he's not been here.
- [14:06]
Adnan Virk
He's got a big job, but he.
- [14:08]
Nick Wright
Has been a really exciting part of it. Pete is a fast talker, by the way. Whenever we'd interview him, I'd be like, man, just slow down a little bit, Pete. But he. He's ready. He's got energy. Yes, yes, Mark. And a lot of times, he's chewing gum, which makes it even harder to understand him. Yeah, Pete's. He's ready to go. His age is going to be mentioned just about every time they show Pete Carroll on TV. Was he the soon to be 74 year old? The oldest coach in NFL history? I think soon to be 74. Got to say that it's a prerequisite when you tune into Raider games. Yes, Todd. When he enthusiastically runs down the sideline, we got to worry if he's going to break his hip or something like that. They're going to have to have the interim come in week three, he's not going to have a walker. Yes, Paulie.
- [14:55]
Dan Patrick
In week three, next year, he'll be 74 years old.

Nick Wright
Hey, it's Alec Baldwin. This season on my podcast here's the Thing, I speak with musician, photographer and philanthropist Julian Lennon. One of the really important things that happened to me in my relationship with photography and the images was that I would have people write to me. People that couldn't financially afford to travel the world or go anywhere, couldn't or were disabled and couldn't travel the world or go anywhere. And what they had all said to me is that you bring these stories to us, you bring the truth, you bring life to us of cultures that we would never necessarily know anything about. Photography really does allow me to do that. Have empathy for people on the other side of the world that you'll never ever meet, but you'll at least have some understanding of what their life is and what they went through or are still going through.

Nick Wright, host of First Things first on Fox Sports 1 and what's right with Nick Wright. You can find it on YouTube wherever you get your podcast. Great to see you again. By the way, Sunday morning Paulie says let's book Nick Wright, win or lose. So Just so you know, we. We wanted to have you on whether the Chiefs won or not.
- [20:24]
Dan Patrick
No, that's a lie. Really wanted to have me on if they lost.
- [20:29]
Nick Wright
Well, that would have been maybe sadly.
- [20:31]
Dan Patrick
For you and Paulie and more accurately, almost everyone else in the media. I get to be right again. And amazingly, I now am on a two year run of being like, hey, the team with the best quarterback, the best coach, and one of the best defenses all take them. While everyone's like, did you see what the Lions did to the Jags? Dan Campbell really has them pulling in the right direction. Oh, have you seen the Bills point differential for five years now? The Ravens are one of the. How do you stop the offense? Even though they lost six games this year? And I'm like, I don't know. Chiefs win every super bowl, so I think they'll probably win this one too. Hi.
- [21:17]
Nick Wright
Wow.
- [21:19]
Dan Patrick
I'm. I'm angry. I'm angry at how last week got hijacked. I'm angry at folks, instead of just being like, I'm sorry, I was wrong, creating a nonsense conspiracy, I'm angry at the way we cover.
- [21:37]
Nick Wright
Wait, hold these. Who are we talking about?
- [21:40]
Dan Patrick
Who are we not talking about? I'm. I'm so the. The conspiracy stuff it. Mainstream media let the tail wag the dog in that the Internet's talking about it. So I guess it's the story. I don't know, man. ML Football and Dove Kleinman got 9,000 retweets on this still shot photo of a potential hold, so I guess it's gotta be be blocked today. And then a Twitter account with 12 million followers says, relief is on the way. Football fans, relief is on the way. Finish the thought if you're going to put it out there. Finish the thought. Relief from what? A rigged game? Why do you think we're saying.
- [22:28]
Nick Wright
Why do you think Adam Schefter put that out there?
- [22:31]
Dan Patrick
Because everyone has had their brain rotted by an algorithm. And it's like, man, this sure gets engagement. And I get why the faceless, nameless accounts do it. It's literally how they make their living. I get it. Like, I don't respect it, but I understand it. I look at that honestly. No different than folks, you know, that, you know, running any scam that people run just to get by, so be it. Like, that's your lot. I don't understand why someone who. The 1800 bucks extra a month you can make off Twitter engagement means nothing to them, why they would do that. And I really don't like the hiding behind the. Hey guys, I'm just presenting unbiased facts. There's a trillion facts to choose from at any given time. But if there were a conspiracy, Dan, on the Internet that you murdered people. And then I tweeted, here's a fact. There have been 78 murders in Connecticut in the year Dan Patrick moved to town. I'm not saying anything. It's just a fact. Just a fact. These are the murders. Here's the numbers.
- [23:50]
Nick Wright
And so objectively, objectively, can you look at the Chiefs? Step away from them. Have they got any kind of favoritism?
- [24:01]
Dan Patrick
I. So the data suggests. Not the data suggest. Now listen, it, it was a really bad look and I will admit, when in the first half of the first playoff game, Patrick asked for a call, didn't get it, and then the ref came over to the sideline where he was sitting on the bench and seemingly Apollo. Oh, I'm sorry. That was Josh Allen and nobody cared. No one had ever seen that happen in sports history. It happened with Josh Allen. Nobody cares. Do I think that the NFL protects quarterbacks? Brady got his knee blown out by Bernard Pollard. They changed the rules. Aaron Rodgers got his collarbone broken. They changed the rules. Do I think these star quarterbacks they take, do I think they get a better whistle than Will Levis? Of course. Do I think that the NFL is a very tough sport to officiate? Yes. Do I think that if you are in standalone close games, there's going to be a bunch of calls and people are going to have issue with it. The idea that they get a more beneficial whistle than the other teams, there's no data to suggest it. And that's why that, that cherry pick data of roughing the passer penalties is so meaningless to me because watch the clips. And then also I'll say one other thing, then we can talk about the actual game. Watch that fourth and five, the Josh Allen incompletion. And watch the reverse angle the George Carloftis hit. And I think this is what the football nerds would call teach tape Carloftis head up, shoulder down into his chest. And then before Allen's even on the ground, is backing up, hands up. You know why? Because they're a buttoned up, well coached team that doesn't make those types of mistakes.
- [25:50]
Nick Wright
But why don't you just take this as a compliment? America wants a new story. They want a new story in all sports. It's. It's not just the Chiefs. It's. They're the latest and people are get tired of people Winning like the warriors, people got tired of that.
- [26:05]
Dan Patrick
No, I, I reject that. People got, people got mad at the warriors because they thought they rigged it in a different way by getting Durant. The 73 win warriors were one of the most popular teams. Steph Curry is changing the game. People were. Not only were people not tired of Michael Jordan and the Bulls, there's a whole generation that still pines for that era.
- [26:29]
Nick Wright
There was no social media back then, Nick. We don't like. Okay, they didn't get tired. We only had eyewitness accounts. I don't know what social media would have said about the Bulls.
- [26:42]
Dan Patrick
So, okay, so then, I mean, if the answer is that we now in the mainstream media with a responsibility, with better access to data, with more information, that we should just be taking our cues by what's trending on Twitter. I just disagree with that. And what I, where I get, where I got frustrated and where I got really, you know, angry that morning was this. The story of the week should have been. On one hand, you have one of the most objectively talented players in league history in Josh Allen, who is staring in the face of a team that has beaten him three times in the playoffs. Going for a dynasty, it will be a defining, not going for a dynasty, going to be the greatest team of all time. A defining moment in the best. And the second best player in the league's career will be this football game. And instead we're talking about the, the flag on Mahomes in the AFC Championship game from two years ago and we're being led down this road by ML football on Twitter. I just find it, I, I find it cheap and, and unlikable. That's it.
- [28:12]
Nick Wright
He's Nick Wright, host of First Things first on Fox Sports 1. Why would they be the greatest team of all time if they win this Super Bowl? What do you mean?
- [28:21]
Dan Patrick
They won three straight Super Bowls.
- [28:23]
Nick Wright
Well, they're different teams.
- [28:26]
Dan Patrick
Yeah, well, okay.
- [28:27]
Nick Wright
Oh, you mean you're talking about this, this team? Is this the greatest team?

Dan Patrick
Got it, Got it. I apologize. So I think you can make an argument that if they win, the 2024 Chiefs are the greatest single season football team of all time. No team will ever have more wins. They would have lost one game. I, you know, week 18, I think I actually kind of like that week 18 doesn't count because then we can almost treat it like a 16 game season. The way it used to be. The one team that beat them, they then beat them again. They were able to win. It's not a singular force, meaning It Patrick was not great. The first six weeks of the year they won anyway. You can look at specific games they won because of special teams, because of defense, because of coaching and oh yeah, by the way, they have the, the necessary components of being considered one of the greatest teams ever, which is generational star. Another generational star. Another generational star. It's three because Mahomes, Kelsey and Chris Jones is a playoff performers, one of the greatest of his generation. And then I think a top two coach of all time and maybe a top two coordinator of all time and Steve Spagnolo like you have. So you have all of that and then you add what I think is the degree of difficulty of no team ever has been able to follow up back to back championships, not only with a third, but with even playing for the third. The eight teams to do it, three missed the playoffs, two lost in the divisional round, three lost in the conference championship game. So that would, it would, you know, it's weird if you were to like prior to this year lie detector test me and say what's the greatest football team of all time? I'd probably say the 07 Patriots. But it's a really hard, it's like, yeah, but some people would be like, no, actually they're not one of the 58 greatest because 58 teams won a Super bowl and they didn't. I, I, I've always thought the two most spellbinding teams of my lifetime were the 98 Vikings and 07 Patriots. And neither one got it done.
- [30:36]
Nick Wright
Well, the 07 Patriots were like the 73 win Golden State Warriors.
- [30:42]
Dan Patrick
Oh, that's a great take. That's a, that's a great take. But then Eli Manning has to be LeBron James. I don't like that at all. No, no, no, we gotta, we gotta workshop that one. That is. Otherwise we would have been right there.
- [30:55]
Nick Wright
What? How do the Eagles beat the Chiefs?
- [30:58]
Dan Patrick
Oh, they can win.
- [31:00]
Nick Wright
Like I know what makes you nervous about this matchup against your team.
- [31:05]
Dan Patrick
Well, I don't know. I mean Saquon Barkley is pretty good. So here can I throw a Saquon Barkley galaxy brain take at you? If a normal football team. So let's say in the 2018 draft the Giants had drafted Josh Allen, which you know, they probably wish they had, and Saquon went fifth to the Broncos. Just a normal team. Does the running back position never get devalued? Because this guy is just on seven consecutive 1500-2000 yard seasons. Is this guy. Did we get of 100 ways for his first six years of his career to play out. Did we get in poker terms the nut low with the Giants. And now we're just seeing who he can be like. So he is. And I had this wrong. I thought he was a really good player, but you know, I was like, the Eagles run game was awesome without him. I thought I was dead wrong. He has transformed them. So when you have that, when you have the second best pair of receivers in football.
- [32:13]
Nick Wright
But do you think he single handedly devalued the running back or the Giants did by taking? Is that what you're saying?
- [32:18]
Dan Patrick
No, what I'm saying is. No, no, no, no, no. I'm glad you asked me to clarify that. What I'm saying is if Saquon was taken in the top fifth instead of second, still top five, and instantly made the Broncos a year after year contender, my point was, was he good enough that if he just wasn't with a franchise, didn't know what they were doing, they would, he would have been at this level every single year or close to it, that they would have been a playoff team every single year. And because of that, people have been like, man, star running backs still work in this league. That's what I meant, what I did. So I wasn't taking it was. It was a shot at the Giants, not at him. So, yeah, the Eagles, the Eagles have an amazing roster and they have, they are great on both lines. And so yeah, they can win. I don't think they will, but they. And listen, Jalen Hurts had never thrown for 160 yards in a playoff win. And you know, the, this past weekend was his. The best, in my opinion, the best game of his career that resulted in a win. Obviously the super bowl. He was great. They lost. And so if they get that level of production from him, that's a dangerous team. I just think the Chiefs, I said it all year, people got mad at me. They were practicing all year, which is why, you know, in the first game they actually could lose. That mattered. They score a season high end points. Mahomes has a career high in rushes. They do things offensively and defensively they did not do all year. So they have more in the bag than the Eagles. Like that is not shown yet. But this will be a great Super Bowl. Great Super Bowl.
- [33:59]
Nick Wright
Do you think you're going to get a Super bowl ring one day?
- [34:04]
Dan Patrick
Oh, you mean when I retire from broadcasting and someone asked me to run a team because of all my brilliant commentary?
- [34:10]
Nick Wright
Well, that could happen. But I like, are you going to Be on the float this year. Chris Berman got Super bowl ring from the Niners, so I'm gonna guess you're.
- [34:20]
Dan Patrick
Wow. I didn't know that. I thought he was a Bills fan. Nobody circles the.
- [34:24]
Nick Wright
Yeah, he got a.
- [34:25]
Dan Patrick
He got a ring from a team he's not even a fan of.
- [34:27]
Nick Wright
Wow. No, he's a fan of the Niners.
- [34:29]
Dan Patrick
Oh, okay.
- [34:30]
Nick Wright
Well, he had nfc, afc. So he had himself. Yeah. Yeah. But he got a Niners.
- [34:36]
Dan Patrick
Well, I mean, I don't know. I mean, I'm an impartial journalist.
- [34:38]
Nick Wright
Of course you are.
- [34:39]
Dan Patrick
I just. Listen.
- [34:42]
Nick Wright
Of course. Here's.
- [34:43]
Dan Patrick
I'm.
- [34:44]
Nick Wright
Would you accept a Super bowl ring?
- [34:47]
Dan Patrick
Well, yeah, of course.
- [34:48]
Nick Wright
Oh, so you're not impartial?
- [34:50]
Dan Patrick
Well, it would be rude to.
- [34:54]
Nick Wright
Yeah, you don't want to do that.
- [34:56]
Dan Patrick
No, I mean, I do. Have I lost all credibility and media criticism because I accepted a watch you sent me? No, I'm not going to.
- [35:04]
Nick Wright
Well, not everybody knows that.
- [35:07]
Dan Patrick
What, that you sent me a watch?
- [35:09]
Nick Wright
Yeah, I mean that. But that doesn't, you know, compromise your integrity. It just. I wanted to help you out because you had those fake Breitlings and I felt bad for you because I have great. I have great respect for you. I said that you and Evan Cohen at ESPN are two of the up and coming people that will be stars. So I wanted you to have that watch.
- [35:33]
Dan Patrick
No, I appreciate that. I wear it every day on television. Can I say. So I have a couple. I don't know how much time we have, but 90 seconds. Okay. Because I'm. You're going to see shortly, I'm going to start alternating watches because here's the thing. I don't think the games are rigged, but for the people who do, I hope you have made as much money this year as I have betting on the Chiefs. That's the other thing. Everyone's responding to these accounts and letting them dictate the narrative that are simultaneously saying this. The games are rigged. The fixes in can't wait till they lose next week. Hey, idiots, if the game's rigged, you can make a lot of money betting on this team, as I have throughout the season.
- [36:26]
Nick Wright
So how much money have you made this year on the Chiefs?
- [36:30]
Dan Patrick
Gambling on the Chiefs?
- [36:31]
Nick Wright
Yeah.
- [36:35]
Dan Patrick
I mean, that's a. That's a rude question. How about you? How about you? Let's price his right style. It. How about, say, a number and I'll say over or under, and you can do it three times.
- [36:45]
Nick Wright
20 grand over, 50 grand.
- [36:52]
Dan Patrick
Right now, under. But I've got some under super bowl futures. So let's say they win the Super Bowl.
- [37:01]
Nick Wright
Yep.
- [37:02]
Dan Patrick
You can now say one more number. Assuming they've won the Super Bowl.
- [37:05]
Nick Wright
62, 000 over. Oh, okay. Yeah. Good.
- [37:11]
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
- [37:11]
Nick Wright
So you're gonna get another watch.
- [37:14]
Dan Patrick
Oh, yeah, yeah. That's what I said. That's the. There's the point of the stories. That's why I'm gonna be alternating watches. I'm gonna look at whether they win or lose Super Bowl. I'm gonna look down on the. At my wrist occasionally and I think of you. Or I'll think of this chief season and either way it'll make me happy. And then the. So, yeah, that's what's going to happen. Yeah, so that's that. By the way, Josh Allen probably, probably should get him in field goal range. I know we're not allowed to criticize athletes anymore. It's a new, softer, gentler media. I get it. Everyone feels bad for everyone at all times.
- [37:45]
Nick Wright
But we almost did. If Dalton Kincaig does catch that ball.
- [37:50]
Dan Patrick
A lot of almost. A lot of almost.
- [37:52]
Nick Wright
He almost did. He almost. Yep. Almost. Yeah.
- [37:55]
Dan Patrick
The Ravens can hang the point differential banner and the Bills can hang the almost did banner.
- [38:00]

Hey, it's Alec Baldwin. This season on my podcast, here's the Thing, I speak with musician, photographer, and philanthropist Julian Lennon. One of the really important things that happened to me in my relationship with photography and the images was that I would have people write to me. People that couldn't financially afford to travel the world or go anywhere, couldn't or were disabled and couldn't travel the world or go anywhere. And what they had all said to me is that you bring these stories to us, you bring the truth, you bring life to us of cultures that we would never necessarily know anything about. Photography really does allow me to do that. Have empathy for people on the other side of the world that you'll never be ever meet. But you. You'll at least have some understanding of what their life is and what they went through or are still going through.

What's Poll question for hour two before we get to Julian Edelman for hour two, Dan, actually, it's a throwback from Paul. Whose wide receiver career would you want more, Calvin Johnson or Julian Edelman? So Calvin Johnson first balloter. Yep. But very little playoff success. And then Julian Edelman been a Super Bowl MVP three times. Super Bowl. Let me ask you that. Whose career would you rather have, your career or Calvin Johnson's?
- [42:52]
Adnan Virk
Julian I'd rather have my career.
- [42:54]
Nick Wright
Okay, good. All right. That's it. That's all I wanted to talk to you about.
- [42:58]
Adnan Virk
Good to see you, Angel. Soft.
- [42:59]
Nick Wright
Really good toilet paper.
- [43:02]
Adnan Virk
How you doing, Dan?
- [43:03]
Nick Wright
Great. Great to talk to you. What do you say, what would you say to voters who haven't considered you for the hall of Fame? What would be your campaign?
- [43:14]
Adnan Virk
I'm not a campaigner, so I wouldn't, I, that wasn't. My goal in life is to make doll of fame.
- [43:22]
Nick Wright
Yeah.
- [43:22]
Adnan Virk
My goal in life was to go out and hoist Lombardi Trophy and I got to do that three times and played my best football games in those matches. So, you know, that's, that's pretty much where I stand with all that stuff. I'm not going to sit here and campaign, try to get in the hall of Fame. And I think that's lame. If I get in, I get in. If I don't, I got a beautiful eight year old daughter and I got three trophies that I'll be happy with for the rest of my life. 4 because I got the MVP of the last one.
- [43:51]
Nick Wright
Well, I know it's not a goal, but if I was, if you said, hey, would you campaign for me like I have been? Because I, I don't. You can't tell the story of the NFL certainly these big games without you and postseason success. I don't know. I see as Lynn Swan kind of like where Lynn Swan wasn't great regular season, but he was big in big games and it's the same with you and you were winning championship. So I've championed your cause. But Now, I know you don't care about the hall of Fame, so I'll, I'll call that off. I'll move on to somebody else.
- [44:27]
Adnan Virk
Move on to someone else.
- [44:30]
Nick Wright
What? Why did big games bring out the best in you?
- [44:35]
Adnan Virk
Well, people don't realize we weren't a team that was looking to pad guys stats. You know, there's like four or three years of my career. Right. I jump out and I'd have a boatload of catches and a boatload of yards. And we change up the offense completely because we want to change up the tendency going forward in the season. So I think that when the playoffs came, we ran our best stuff and I usually was a part of those, those plays. So as we're watching the Chiefs right now, it's kind of that same kind of battle. When you're sustaining success for a long time, it's not about going out and try to having the best offense. It's about going out and try to improve your team each week and get them to playing their best football at the end of the year so you have a shot in the playoffs. So that's a lot of what we, we did and you know, we had a lot of success doing it. And it's fun to watch another team be able to find that pocket that we were in.
- [45:35]
Nick Wright
You hear a lot of the analysts, you know, we are, you know, people who are host critics, they're talking about Dalton Kincaid, like, hang on to the football.
- [45:43]
Adnan Virk
Yeah.
- [45:44]
Nick Wright
But from a receiving perspective, that pass that Josh throws and Dalton Kincaid, you know, drops it. What do you see on that play?
- [45:54]
Adnan Virk
Yeah, you know, first off, no, no game is decided by one play. So I, I don't think Kincaid is at fault for the loss. There's a collection of plays that they probably want to have back saying that you got to make that catch. You know, to your point, people make those catches in the regular season and it looks great on their stats and you get your money. Scotty O'Brien always used to say it, you make your money in the regular season, you make your name in the postseason, he makes that catch. You know, we could be saying something different right now. So that's, that's how the game goes. I'm sure he feels like, terrible. I mean, the same could be said for Mark Andrews, but you know that those guys are hardworking guys that have contributed a lot for those teams this year. And it sucks that the, the play didn't go their way, but that's football, you know, Dan, it's, it's.
- [46:55]
Nick Wright
Yeah, but look at Mark.
- [46:56]
Adnan Virk
You gotta make that catch. I would, you know, I hit him right in the chest plate. He misjudged it. I don't know. You know, it was. There's four guys there, but I would say probably 8 out of 10 times King K makes that catch and the 20% where he doesn't just so happen to happen that night.
- [47:14]
Nick Wright
What did you see on the Ravens play, the two point conversion with Mark?
- [47:18]
Adnan Virk
I saw a guy that lost his confidence throughout the game and which is very common with the receiver that drops the ball a couple times, has a fumble. He's starting to think about ball. He's. Oh, I got to, I just got to look at it. You know, that was a confidence thing. Was the ball not perfect? Yeah. Could he have caught it? Yeah, but you know, that, that's. I feel bad for both those players because of those situations, but, you know, there's always got to be a winner and there's got to be a loser. The winners make those plays.
- [47:51]
Nick Wright
Talking to Julian Edelman, Fox NFL Kickoff analyst, three time super bowl champ, super bowl mvp, joining us on behalf of Angel Soft toilet Paper. Are you.
- [48:02]
Adnan Virk
I'll be right back.
- [48:07]
Nick Wright
No.
- [48:07]
Adnan Virk
So that's, that's the crazy thing.
- [48:09]
Nick Wright
Are you in the commercial? Are you, are you in a Super bowl commercial about toilet paper?
- [48:14]
Adnan Virk
Technically, I'm not. Technically, I'm not. Because angelsoft has a design commercial for people to take a break to go to use the restroom. We're promoting to use the restroom. So you can not miss any of the ads, the commercials, or the awesome content from the game. So angelsoft, they came up with this idea, hey, we're just gonna give people 30 seconds to go use the Rusty.
- [48:44]
Nick Wright
Did that ever happen during a game for you?
- [48:48]
Adnan Virk
I was told I can't say Larry Izzo stories. No. Yeah.
- [48:54]
Nick Wright
Did Larry, Did Larry Izzo have an accident?
- [48:57]
Adnan Virk
Larry Izzo, I think, pooped on a side, which has never been done. And I'm not joking now.
- [49:04]
Nick Wright
Peeing.
- [49:05]
Adnan Virk
We all do it. You always see the two trainers, they pull up the towel, they give you a little, you know, little privacy, and you pull your pants down right by the cooler and you go down. Larry Izzo tried to take that to a whole nother level. And I'm pretty sure he was using Angel Soft.
- [49:21]
Nick Wright
Morton Anderson told me a story that, that he had an accident and had to clean up on the sidelines.
- [49:31]
Adnan Virk
Yeah, it's very Paul Pierce like.
- [49:34]
Nick Wright
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he wasn't. He wasn't rolled off in a wheelchair, though.
- [49:41]
Adnan Virk
I mean, that's Soft basketball is very visual. They're right up on you so you know you gotta get, you gotta get some help there. Angel soft would have done that job.
- [49:51]
Nick Wright
Can you compare Kelsey and Gronk?
- [49:55]
Adnan Virk
I would say they're different football players. Nothing can be taken away from what Travis Kelsey has done with his longevity, his knack, defining the football, his, his route running ability. He's unbelievable. And, and his ability to stay healthy. People don't realize like yeah, he's been banged up here or there, but Travis Kelsey's been a healthy football player his whole career. That's huge. Rob was like an old school tight end. We used to design run plays to the nine technique Vandenbosch when he was in his prime with Gronk blocking Vanderbosch, that's different. Rob was, you know, he's, he's just a, he's a physical beast where like when you would run next to him you could hear the ground pounding like and him giggling while he was playing. I think they're different football players, but both all time greats.
- [50:57]
Nick Wright
Who plays quarterback the way you played quarterback in college?
- [51:04]
Adnan Virk
In college, like in the league?
- [51:07]
Nick Wright
Yeah. Is there anybody who you could see yourself that was the kind of style that you had when you were in the Mac?
- [51:17]
Adnan Virk
In the Mac? That's a good question.
- [51:18]
Nick Wright
DP.
- [51:21]
Adnan Virk
I would say I couldn't make the throws like any of these guys, but running style, I was very slippery. I wasn't as fast as some of these like the, the Lamar Jacksons or, or the Jaden Daniels. But I, I did make people look very silly at very high competition like against really big time schools. So I just couldn't throw a 20 yard out on a dime.
- [51:46]
Nick Wright
What were you like the fourth string quarterback on the Patriots?
- [51:50]
Adnan Virk
I there. What. So remember the year. So Brady was on a vacation for the first four years and then Jimmy G got hurt in, in a game and then Jacoby versus Brissette got hurt. And so that week four game against the Buffalo Bills we had a whole package of me going in running read option if something were to come to it. And we never used that. So that's how confident they were in me as a quarterback for the team. The kid had actually Jacoby had a broken thumb and they chose.
- [52:29]
Nick Wright
Over under two and a half years for Belichick at North Carolina.
- [52:34]
Adnan Virk
I want to say under back in.
- [52:36]
Nick Wright
The NFL I hope, I think, I.
- [52:39]
Adnan Virk
Think it's destined, right. It's got to be. Pete Carroll's getting jobs. Why can't Bill?
- [52:45]
Nick Wright
Why isn't he I don't know.
- [52:47]
Adnan Virk
A lot of. A lot of. In cahootness with those. Those guys that own the teams. I don't know.
- [52:54]
Nick Wright
Did you and Brady have a sign or was there a code word like, if he's coming to you changing a play? Was there? You can tell it now because.
- [53:03]
Adnan Virk
Yeah, it was called yellow sprinkle sugar cookies. He would say that to me, and I knew that we just had to be dialed and then we wouldn't talk.
- [53:13]
Nick Wright
Are you making that up? Are you making that up?
- [53:15]
Adnan Virk
No, it's real. Yellow sprinkle sugar cookies was the. I'm telling you, it was like a Rambo call. We used to have a situation, Rambo, where if there was no one over you, you scream Rambo. Tom will get the ball and throw it to you. We also had yellow sugar sprinkle cookies, which then he would telekinesis me. Oh, yeah, what he wanted me to do. No, none of that. I mean, when you have so many reps with a football player that we had, and it wasn't just through our time with the Patriots, it was our time in the off season, you start to think like each other. I mean, we see this with Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey where, you know, they know, you know, they're each other's eyes on the field. So if Travis is doing something, Patrick is probably trusting what Travis is doing and without seeing everything, just like, you know, if Patrick throws Travis somewhere, he's trusting that Patrick's not going to throw him anywhere. I think a lot of it has to do with that and just knowing each other. There wasn't any. There was specific little, like swing things or little signals here and there that we could hit or it could be an I thing where, you know, we give an eye. If we talked about it sometime that week where if this guy was in this leverage, hey, let's. Let's do something else. There was a whole bunch of nonverbal communication going on, but my favorite was yellow.

Nick Wright
What does Mahomes have to do to surpass Tom Brady, in your opinion?
- [54:52]
Adnan Virk
He's got to do it for a long time. I mean, he's on pace. This is. This is remarkable. If he goes out and does three in a row in a salary cap era, you can't say much. You know, I'm. I'm as big as a Tom Brady guy as there is. And what the only difference is is the longevity. Tom had like three careers. He just so happened to only get two. Two runs at those super bowl runs. Patrick's been doing that his whole thing, his whole career. But it'll be interesting for me to see the next chapter of Patrick Mahomes when some sort of adversity comes along, some player, you know, Travis retired, he's going to be playing way longer after Travis Chris Jones, when he departures, you know, he's going to be there by himself. Will he be able to. To retool and find guys to help him go out and win? Which. That's what Tom had to do, and it took him 10 years to do that to get to the next one. So, you know, it's pretty crazy that if you really think about it, they've had a little bit of adversity with guys that may not be cornerstone players, but, like, the stuff that we went through to see Tom be able to compartmentalize. And we had murders, we had back surgeries, we had gates, and he was still able to go out and win football games. So that's like the next step for me to see with Patrick Mahomes this next part of his career when, you know, he doesn't have the whole band together.

Nick Wright
Give me a Brady Story. I haven't heard a Brady Story. You haven't heard on or off the field?
- [56:31]
Adnan Virk
I don't. I don't really have. I'm pretty much given all my great Brady stories, but if you actually, I do have a really good one, but it's going to be featured on Games with Names next week and then Dudes on Dudes, my podcast. So you have to listen there.
- [56:49]
Nick Wright
Oh, come on.
- [56:54]
Adnan Virk
You hit up. You. Have you ever seen angel in the outfield?
- [56:57]
Nick Wright
Yeah.
- [56:58]
Adnan Virk
You know, when they. They start doing this.
- [57:00]
Nick Wright
Yeah.
- [57:01]
Adnan Virk
Well, you know where that came from, right? That came from angel soft. It's like. It's like having. What is it called?
- [57:08]
Nick Wright
Look at you. Look at you being Peyton Manning here. Well, no, I'm telling you. No, I got it. Yeah.
- [57:15]
Adnan Virk
And then all of a sudden, Play. You know, it's the same thing that, like, all of a sudden, the angel soft thing's going to happen, and Angel's going to come out of nowhere, going to give you 30 seconds so you can go do your business.
- [57:27]
Nick Wright
See, I. I do think you were concussed on the Cam Chancellor hit again in the Super Bowl. You can. You can finally admit it that you were.
- [57:36]
Adnan Virk
Really wasn't though, Dan.
- [57:38]
Nick Wright
Oh, my God.
- [57:39]
Adnan Virk
I really wasn't. I. I had a hip injury. Yeah, it was. Did I get banged? But I. I knew that hit was coming. We were going late across the middle, 28 yards downfield. I mean, it's cover three. There's a safety roman in there somewhere. Damn. It's like a velociraptor over there. You can't see.
- [57:58]
Nick Wright
I can still hear that. I'm on the sidelines. I can still hear that hit.
- [58:04]
Adnan Virk
If I was concussed, I wouldn't have been able to try to get up and go. We all know the fencing thing. We're also educated on concussions. Now, I got my 8 year old daughter telling me she's got concussions because my. We talk about them so much.
- [58:15]
Nick Wright
I mean, it's crazy.
- [58:18]
Adnan Virk
I'm not joking. These little kids, you know, they. They get a butterfly that hits their head and they got concussions. Now it's gnarly.
- [58:26]
Nick Wright
She's trying to draw a flag.
- [58:28]
Adnan Virk
Trying to draw a flag. He's calling me Patty Mahomes.
- [58:34]
Nick Wright
Doing that Angel Soft. That's. That's not Julian Edelman. That's what he's promoting. Angel Soft toilet paper. The big game commercial that. Designed to be missed. Hey, great.
- [58:48]
Adnan Virk
Designed to be missed.
- [58:49]
Nick Wright
Yeah. To give you guys enough time to go to. Yes. The facility. Good to talk.
- [58:55]
Adnan Virk
That's pretty good though, isn't that? That's pretty good.
- [58:57]
Nick Wright
That's pretty good.
- [58:58]
Adnan Virk
Pretty good.
- [58:59]
Nick Wright
Good.
- [58:59]
Adnan Virk
Almost as good as your shot because I still remember going into your studio probably what, 15, 10 years ago, and you were wet from there.
- [59:07]
Nick Wright
Yeah. Yeah. You couldn't stop me. You could only hope to contain me.
- [59:12]
Adnan Virk
Well, I. I technically had a torn ACL at the time, so I wasn't stopping any.
- [59:17]
Nick Wright
Oh, so you're saying you could have stopped me? Easily. Oh, my God. Easily. You're so short. I would have been doing that. The short thing.
- [59:24]
Adnan Virk
We would. Well, you can't. You can't give the forearm anymore. No, this is street basketball.
- [59:31]
Nick Wright
You can't put your hands on me.
- [59:33]
Adnan Virk
You're going to be banged up.
- [59:35]
Nick Wright
It's. You can't. Oh, my God. All right, so I'm stopping the hall of Fame campaign. You don't need that. You don't care about the hall of Fame. And I got to wait for your great Brady story on your podcast. Okay. I don't know what we accomplished here today, but it's great seeing you.
