We did it. We did it. They didn't think we could. I had the under as well. We made it to a Friday. It's a meat Friday at that. The great folks at King's Hawaiian are here, and that means Chef Greg, and he's busy outside. So we have three different sliders that will be available. We have the shrimp Po Boy slider, the MVP slider. That includes prime filet. We figure with Deion Sanders here, we should have some prime filet. And then we have the Amalfi coast slider. And that, of course, is a prosciutt with chicken pesto, mozzarella, arugula, tomato fondue, and parmesan. All of that on the King's Hawaiian. The original. We have the pretzel slider buns, the original sweet Hawaiian rolls. Who has it better than we do? That's your Italian morvia.
Unknown
A nobody.
Dan Patrick
No.
Marvin
Oh, my.
Dan Patrick
It's mozzarella. This is a subway. I know. It's a Jimmy John's. I'll have some mozzarella, please.
Unknown
Maybe the chicken parmigiana.
Dan Patrick
Thank you.
Unknown
Thank you.
Dan Patrick
Parma Gyani, please. All right. 877-3-DP Show. Email address dpdanpatrick that is one of.

The craziest things about Italy is like you could live in a place. Where do you live? Pure. No kidding.
Dan Patrick
Really?
Unknown
Like, it's named after all of these things. Where do you live? Parmesan. No kidding. Yes, I live. That's where the cheese is from. And then I live there.
Dan Patrick
877-3-Dp show email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle @DP Show. Deion Sanders will join us. Coming up in about 15 minutes from now, Dan Arlovsky and Booger McFarlane for the Mothership. The packers running back Josh Jacobs will stop by as well. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app. And we say good morning to our radio affiliates around the country. Stat of the day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show. In this first hour, brought to you by Keeper's Heart. New and unique style of whiskey that combines the best of Irish and American whiskey. And you create a smooth character of Irish whiskey with the bold flavors of American whiskeys. If you're a whiskey fan, you got to try it. Drink responsibly, come up with a play of the day. Got a poll question, few stats of the day as well. The NFL honors unveiled last night, and I sit corrected because I thought Lamar Jackson was going to win because he had the most votes at quarterback. And usually that will translate into being the mvp. That was the big surprise for me as I was watching that. But Josh Allen, the first player in 21 years to win the MVP without being selected First Team All Pro, and I think that was the big surprise, that he got 27 of the 50 first place votes. Lamar Jackson had 23. That's the smallest difference between first and second since Peyton Manning and Steve McNair. They declared them CO MVPs. They had 16 first place votes. That was back in 2003.
Justin Pennik
This is the stat.
Dan Patrick
Brought to you by Panini America. Josh Allen, mvp. The Saquon Barkley Offensive Player of the Year award was like a we got to give you something. You rush for 2,000 yards and you're in the Super Bowl. If you had the MVP vote Monday, you voted Monday who would be the MVP of the NFL, because more than likely it would be Saquon Barkley. Although if Mahomes would win again, even though he didn't have a great regular season, you go, he's still the most valuable guy. But Josh Allen gets the mvp. Defensive Player of the Year, Patrick Certain of The Broncos, Kevin O'Connell, the Vikings coach of the Year. I'm sitting with people last night who had big money bet on these awards. Big money. So when Kevin O'Connell and Dan Campbell are up for Coach of the Year, and Andy Reid, I'm sitting next to a woman, she goes, better. Better be Kevin. Okay, no calling him koc. Better be koc. I said, like, what? What? You know him? I got $72,000 on this. I go, oh, my God. So Kevin O'Connell wins. And she goes, all right, drinks for everybody. Then all of a sudden, Josh Allen wins MVP. And I think she lost 17,000 on that. And it ruined her parlays because she had Lamar Jackson. I didn't know you could parlay the awards ceremony. You know, MVP and Rookie of the Year and offensive Rookie of the Year and Jared Verse of the Rams defensive rookie, like there was some serious money being wagered or they bet, you know, prior to the start of the season. And I told the story of one of the guys who's on our gambling podcast occasionally, Sammy P. He put down a futures bet on Saquon Barkley to be the offensive player of the year. He did that in the preseason. He had the ticket that he got from Vegas and he dropped it off to the backroom guys who work on the gambling podcast. And he said, if this happens, you guys cash this. He said, the only thing is you have to go to Vegas to cash it, and it's worth about $3,000. So I was watching, hoping that Saquon Barkley would win it. So, Marvin, I don't know if you and Dylan, you know, Picture day, Ray, you guys cashed in last night on Saquon Barkley. We sure did.
Marvin
So I think we're going to go.
Dan Patrick
To Vegas and split it, and I think Ray and Dylan won't have any money. When we come back, you're gonna. You're gonna lose money on going to pick up winnings for a bet. So those were just some of the awards last night. Jaden Daniels was the rookie of the Year, the assistant coach of the year, Ben Johnson, coach to the. So did that count as a Bears award winner?
Unknown
There's lots of room in the Bears trophy case. Pop it in there. No one's going to read the fine print.
Dan Patrick
Well, you got 85 and then you don't have much after that.
Unknown
Big gap.
Dan Patrick
Yes. Yeah. Big trophy case. Not a lot of trophies in the trophy case. Yep. All right, see what's poll question for hour one of the program. Nothing of significance happened yesterday at the trade deadline, except for PJ Tucker. He got traded three times in five days. Do you get a jersey with those teams that traded for you?
Unknown
No.
Dan Patrick
You don't?
Unknown
I. I think to be in the record books in Basketball Reference, you have to be on the roster for a game even though you don't play in that game?
Dan Patrick
I think so. From February 1st to February 5th, PJ Tucker went from the Clippers to the Jazz, Jazz to the Heat, Heat to the Raptors. That's not fair. Like at the end result is. And you're going to the Raptors. Yes.
Unknown
His agent is like, hey, look, everybody wants you. I'm assuming then if one of them should go on to win a ring, he doesn't get that ring, correct?
Dan Patrick
Correct. Yeah, correct. Because he didn't play one game.
Unknown
He didn't play one game, right?
Dan Patrick
Yeah, but I don't know. So PJ Tucker three times in five days, but that doesn't count as most teams played for. Is that still like nine teams? Haven't we discussed this before? Like Clarence Weatherspoon or somebody? Our boy Jim Jackson's up there, too. Jim Jackson, did he play for nine teams? He played for 11 or 12. What about Joe Smith? Joe Smith might still be in the NBA. Oh, he's a world traveler, too.
Unknown
Tony Massenberg had about 11.
Dan Patrick
Oh, yeah.
Unknown
We're deep diving right now.
Dan Patrick
Bloop. Bloop. All right, Seaton. Poll question today is going to be what?
Unknown
Well, we have a couple of Todd's oddly specific poll questions which we could get to. It's always fun.
Dan Patrick
Speaking of Todd, the conclusion of the match, the pickleball match that will be aired today, and then we'll hand out some awards. But Todd was the star. The first match, he looked like a combination of Rafa Nadal and Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe. It was very impressive. Very. And the best athlete on the pickleball court, so. But let's see what you do. Match two. I'm ready. Thank you, Todd.
Unknown
We also have a couple of other poll questions from Paul here. Are you rooting for the Chiefs or the Eagles? Kind of basic. But let's get the.
Dan Patrick
The.
Unknown
I don't know, baseline.
Dan Patrick
Okay.
Unknown
And then would you rather win the league MVP and a Super bowl mvp, but not be a Hall of Famer or just be a Hall of Famer?
Dan Patrick
Okay, so I'm MVP and Super bowl mvp.
Unknown
Correct.
Dan Patrick
But not.
Unknown
But not a Hall of Famer.
Dan Patrick
Well, how many guys have won both of those MVPs and not been a Hall of Famer?
Unknown
I think nobody.
Dan Patrick
Nobody?
Unknown
Nobody. So you could be the only one who had a great year and then won a ring, but not that good.
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Eli didn't get in first ballot. I guess I was surprised because. And this shouldn't factor in, but he's from New Orleans. Here we are in New Orleans. And I. That. That might. You know, you put those two together and maybe he's. Now. I don't think he's the first Battle hall of Famer. I do think he gets into the hall of Fame. Eric Allen got in. I've been a big proponent of Sterling Sharp. Sterling Sharp is kind of like the wide receiver version of Terrell Davis or vice versa. He was a wonderful wide receiver. So you have Shannon and Sterling going into the hall of Fame. Jared Allen. You forget the numbers that Jared Allen put up. Those are. How many sacks did he have? Paulie, do you have over 150? But, you know, you know, not playing in big playoff games. But still, that was a guy felt like every single Sunday he brought it. You had to account for Jared Allen. Yeah. Paul.
Marvin
Yeah.
Unknown
He had 136 sacks. You get that 120 number, it's almost automatic.
Dan Patrick
Yes, Marvin. And I think one of our guests.
Marvin
Has a good history with Janowski.
Unknown
Oh, oh no.
Marvin
He chased him out of the end zone.
Unknown
Oh no.
Dan Patrick
So he helped Jared out. Jared Allen get a sack on that? Like if it's a safety, you don't get a sack, do you?
Unknown
Maybe if you're the closest person or you have to touch him. I would think checking.
Dan Patrick
I don't know. Well, sometimes if you're in the vicinity you get credit. You know, when Peyton Manning used to just fall down or Brady fall down, somebody got the sack. But maybe you just have to put rest your hands on them. But yeah, I don't know if Jared Allen got a sack that because Orlovsky went out of the end zone when he was with the Lions. We'll have to ask Dan. I'm sure he loves talking about that. He thought he was done with that. Oh no, he thought that that was over. Who went out of the end zone this year?
Unknown
Oh yeah, there was like the exact same play.
Marvin
Gosh.
Unknown
Who was that?
Dan Patrick
We should remember that because we've never forgotten that Dan Orlovsky ran out of the back of the end zone and.
Unknown
He just kind of owns that, you know.
Dan Patrick
Was it a really good quarterback?
Unknown
C.J.
Stroud.
Dan Patrick
Oh, there you go. He got Erlofskyed.
Unknown
Yes.
Dan Patrick
Got Orlovsky. All right, what other poll questions do we have for the first time, Dude, Orlopsky.
Unknown
Let's see. These are some of the Todd's oddly specific poll questions that we love. Yes. How would you handle someone talking too much at a Super bowl party? Ask that individual to please let you just watch the game, politely engage in conversation and just deal with the situation. Move to another spot and hope he or she doesn't follow you. Find a TV in a separate room, leave the party altogether.
Dan Patrick
Would you like to answer your poll question, Todd? Knowing me, I would politely engage in conversation and just deal with the situation, not be rude. Hoping that at some point they're going to just stop. What if you're the person who's annoying, which could very well be the case and they're trying to move away from you?
Marvin
They would probably leave the party altogether. Would probably be like 73% if it was me doing that.
Dan Patrick
Victimizing the poor people trying to watch the game. Yes, Paul, I've dealt with this before.
Unknown
A couple Super Bowls. Unbeknownst to me, my wife invited a couple of my brother in laws over who don't know football. But Talk the whole time. Very ornately. I do a move when we come back from commercial break, where I go, all right, let's get back to the game. Let's focus on the game, like. And everyone kind of shuts up for a second. It's like breaking the huddle. It works. It gets people refocused.
Sounds like a lot of fun, by the way, being clapped at and told to shut up at your house.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Marvin
Paul doesn't see them rolling their eyes behind him.
Dan Patrick
What's up with this guy? Cool.
Unknown
Thanks for inviting us over.
Yeah, I'm not bothered by it.
Dan Patrick
Marvin, what about you now? We don't need to talk.
Marvin
Let's just watch the game.
Dan Patrick
Yeah. The commercials, the halftime show.
Marvin
We don't need to do all that.
Dan Patrick
I'm watching by myself. When on super bowl Sunday. I'm watching by myself. That's it. It's the best. Don't have to talk, no questions, nothing. Don't have to wait in line for anything. Yes, Mark.
Marvin
And the thing about super bowl parties.
Dan Patrick
There'S so many people there that haven't.
Marvin
Watched football all year, but it's just an event.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Marvin
And so they're like, so who's really good on this team?
Dan Patrick
Gosh, they've been good all year. Yeah.
Marvin
Never mind.
Dan Patrick
I thought Sacwin was on the giants. He's on the Eagles, though.
Marvin
Sack one.
Dan Patrick
Sacwin Barkley. All right, eight, seven, seven, three. DP show operator. Tyler sitting by. He'll take your phone calls and email address. DP danpatrick.com Twitter handle the TP Show. Yes, Paulie.
Unknown
We have a quick Deion Sanders game. Coach prime is always comes by the super bowl set. We're going to play guess the outfit for Deion Sanders. None of us, I don't think, have seen him yet.
Dan Patrick
He did shave. Oh, I. I was. I. He was on the awards show last night. He was up there with Belichick and they were, you know, it was like a buddy movie. Like anyone.
Unknown
You have Midnight Run 2.
Dan Patrick
Yes. No, it would be in primetime run. It. It would. Instead of midnight run. But, yeah, it felt like Belichick and Dion were a buddy movie up there. You know, they're just ad libbing, just, you know, gassing it up a little bit. Hey, how are you? Hey. And then you had Snoop Dogg who called out Belichick's girlfriend. So. Yeah. And he brought all of his rings, and then she got one of the rings as well. So what's the. Dion. So what he's wearing today. Yeah.
Unknown
I'll go first. I'M gonna go white on white on white. Colorado flare all through it, but it's a little warm today. White head to toe with some Colorado pop.
Dan Patrick
All right. Marvin, what about you? You got your Dion T shirt on.
Marvin
I think he's wearing retro Dion Nikes.
Dan Patrick
And I think he's wearing just casual Colorado jumpsuit. Okay. Todd, what about you?
Marvin
Colorado Buffalo's cap of some sort, maybe.
Dan Patrick
With Coach prime on the side and one of those I Ain't Hard to Find sweatshirts. Might be white, could be gray, could be black. But I know he likes to wear the I Ain't Hard to Find, so I'm watching that. Which about you, Seon man, my first.
Unknown
Instinct was to say sort of like a black on black tracksuit. Yeah, Well, I guess I'll stick with that.
Dan Patrick
Black on black. Yeah. All right. I don't know. Feels like white on white on white.
Unknown
It's a pretty good guess.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe with a little Colorado gold piping somewhere in there. Necklace, watch with a crucifix. Okay.
Unknown
That's kind of his daily wear, though, too, like the tracksuit that we're all talking about.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, he.
Unknown
This is a big week, you know, you get a lot of eyeballs.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Unknown
On a week like this, there might be something with a little more flair, too, though. Not saying a suit, but something that really stands out.
Dan Patrick
Doesn't Colorado have New Orleans Saints kind of flair to it? Yeah, they do. Better uniforms, though. Yes. Colorado or the Saints? Oh, Colorado, though. Were those Saints white uniforms with the gold, the retro?
Marvin
Yes.
Dan Patrick
Those are really sharp.
Marvin
Amazing.
Dan Patrick
Those are really sharp. All right, we'll take a break. Dion will join us. Coming up next. We'll get to phone calls, settle on our poll question. Just getting started on this meet Friday here in New Orleans. We're back after this.

I'm A.J. stephens, Vice President of client strategy at Athletes Verse, where we've negotiated $1.4 billion in current NFL quarterback contracts.

This isn't just about the numbers, though.

For the first time ever, the agents who orchestrate these deals are sharing the details of the negotiations and everything that led up to their clients signing on the dotted line.

We'll settle on a poll question for this first hour. Stat of the day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show. All of our in studio guests receive a fantastic gift bag with items from Sonos, Traeger, Panini King Hawaiian and Rapid Radios. He joins us every Super Bowl. He's the hall of Famer, two time super bowl champ, head coach of the Buffaloes, Deion Sanders back here in the man cave and we all made the mistake of what he was going to be wearing. We went jeans on, jeans there, suited.
Marvin
I look good though.
Dan Patrick
But, but no, no track suit.
Marvin
No.
Dan Patrick
All right. Got a, you got a whistle there?
Marvin
I'm a coach, so I got a whistle.
Dan Patrick
So are you going to use the whistle during this interview?
Marvin
Well, it blows, but I don't plan on blowing it.
Dan Patrick
Okay, fair enough. How many pairs of shoes do you own?
Marvin
I haven't taken inventory in quite some time, but it's, it's a lot like Jordans or. I'm not a Jordan guy. I'm a prime guy. You know, I got my own shoes.
Dan Patrick
Did you ever own. Did you ever own Jordan?
Marvin
Maybe a parasol, but I love Mike. Mike's my guy. It's kind of different when you know Jordan, you know, like, you know, up. It's a little different. I like, I like what I like. I'm not a big sneaker everyday guy, but when I do wear tennis shoes, mostly I wear my own.
Dan Patrick
What do you take away from Jordan, like, does everything.
Marvin
He's the greatest. He's the goat. He's character, class, work ethic.
Dan Patrick
Nothing LeBron could do.
Marvin
I'm not gonna put another brother down by lifting another. I'm not doing that. We don't do that. Both of those guys are black excellence to me. Both of those guys are on different mountains and they've. They've reached their pinnacles differently, but certainly they. They have reached it. We could compare everybody to them, but not them against one another. I'm not doing that.
Dan Patrick
If I had you in your prime against Travis Hunter now, right?
Marvin
Travis a bad boy. I'm not putting Travis down. Travis a bad boy. Shoot, this is like another sign to me. Travis is a generational type of young man that we may never, ever see again. The reason we may never, ever see him again because coaches won't allow it, because they can't fathom what they can't do themselves. I did it at an extreme level, so I was able to guide him and lead him and allow him to do it without the risk of. Of jealousy or envy or hatred from the. His teammates. Travis is unbelievable. Travis is the best player in this draft by far.
Dan Patrick
Match your talents. His talents.
Marvin
I don't match, man. I'm. I'm that old coach in the corner of the ring that boxing coach said, left, right, left, right. You got it. That's it. I'm not matching nothing. I'm trying to help him exceed anything I would ever fathom, not only on the field, but off the field as well.
Dan Patrick
How would you use him if you're a NFL coach?
Marvin
I. I already showed him how to use him. Why would they defer.
Dan Patrick
I don't. You know, we've talked to people who played, you know, either defensive back or wide receiver, saying you have to go to these meetings during the week.
Marvin
That's. Come on, man.
Dan Patrick
I'm just going by what they tell me.
Marvin
When is the last time you heard a football player say, boy, that meeting really helped me?
Dan Patrick
No, but you have. They require you to be at certain places.
Marvin
Yeah, I was there for 14 years. I. I know the drills. Travis has never been mistaken for idiot on the football field. He's very intelligent. Very intelligent on the field and off the field. Had a 4.0 GPA. Let's get that straight. So he's a smart young man. He will be prepared for whatever you place in front of him. Generational, loves the game, don't party, don't smoke, don't drink, kind of secludes himself kind of an introvert is if you should say but he can play some during football.
Dan Patrick
But full time db, full time wide.
Marvin
Receiver, why not you playing the NFL game that's much slower than the college game. The college game is no huddle is tempo. We plays at the plays, at the plays that the plays. The pro game is so darn slow. You go into the huddle, you take your time, you call another play. The not only that you can't touch him, you can't hit him in the secondary. So the risk of being injured is not as such as the college football game. The pro games protects you even more. I think what he does should transcend to the next level. He's already shown them what he could he's capable of doing. The reason they're saying he can't do both because they never fathom to do both.
Dan Patrick
He's Deion Sanders. Why does the media want you to coach in the NFL?
Marvin
I'm not going to say the media. The media is. Some people are very kind. Some people do clickbait. So when you mention my name, that's gonna warrant an opinion. You're not going to mention my name and not have an opinion. If you say anything and mention me, you're going to have an opinion. I'm not the kind of guy that's idle that you have nothing to say. When I walked in, you had an opinion. So that's just the thought that we provoke. So it's not the media. I just think when you look at me, you're based with an opinion.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, but I think the media, it allows them. You know, when you talk to Jerry Jones, there was wishful reporting. I think that was attached.
Marvin
Well, Jerry is magnetic, man. Just us sitting down, hugging each other. He sat right behind me at the honors last night and his beautiful wife. But just he's magnetic. If we talk and hug is going to be a story. Whatever Jerry does is going to be a story. Jerry is the only owner in the NFL that consistently makes you feel as though his team has a chance to win a Super bowl every year and you have an opinion about it. What other owner has that, that authenticity and that, that, that attraction? Nobody. Jerry's one of a kind man and I love him.
Dan Patrick
If he had asked you to interview.
Marvin
With a job, I wouldn't have to interview. My interview is being played. Why would I have an interview like I'm. Can you coach? You can't. You could watch that. You see that I'm pretty darn good at what I do. I don't have to interview. You just have to come and. This is my staff. This would be my staff. Who do you want me to hold over? Okay, here we go. Now what we're going to do and. But I'm more. I'm more involved. I'm not going to just let you build it for me. I need to build it. We need to build it together so. So that I can make certain I had a hand in our success, certainly not our failure.
Dan Patrick
Did you want to be asked to coach the Cowboys?
Marvin
I love the college football game. I'm built for the college football game at this point in my life. And I'm not doing nothing at that next level without my sons. Everybody know that. Why would I do that? Why would I go coach against my son?
Dan Patrick
Who.
Marvin
Who wants to do that? Who. Who signs up for that? Hey, I want to go coach against my son. What idiot does that? No, if that was going to happen, that would be one of the contingencies.
Dan Patrick
So if you could co. Okay, so that's the only way. If you can.
Marvin
It's always what I've always said.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Marvin
Yeah, that's it.
Dan Patrick
How do you prepare for the draft with your son?
Marvin
He's. I prepare him. I prepare them for the draft. He and Shiloh. I prepare them with the thought process, the language, understanding the room, understanding. This is what this team has. This is what the qu. The questions that you may want to warrant. But I prepare them as men for the moment because we're going to get that moment. The reason you sit up here, because you've been maximizing your moments for how many years now?
Dan Patrick
40.
Marvin
40 years. That's why you're here, because of the moment. So. And these guys are all assisting you because they understand how to handle their moment. So I prepare my kids for the moment. So when you ask them a question, you're not going to catch them off guard, you're not going to catch them in a vicarious situation, because I prepared them for that moment. And I think that's the job of a father.
Dan Patrick
As a father, are there teams you'd prefer he didn't play for?
Marvin
There's a lot of teams I prefer. They need to play. It's like saying, aren't there teams that you don't want to watch that you hit the remote, you just hit the clicker, like, yeah, you turn you during Skippy.
Dan Patrick
You're right.
Marvin
It's teams I didn't want to play for. So why wouldn't I want my kids? No, come on, man. I'm a dad. I'm A real dad that has a lot of information about the NFL. I know some folks who know some folks who know some folks in the NFL and I know what's behind the curtain. So definitely I'm going to lead them in the right direction.
Dan Patrick
But how do you, how do you navigate that?
Marvin
I would meet with them behind the door, closed doors. I would not call them out. I would not put them on front street and talk about their organization because people work too hard to make it right. Instead of a guy like me ignorantly saying something wrong, I would meet with them privately and talk about my concerns so we could have an understanding.
Dan Patrick
Has that happened already?
Marvin
Yes.
Dan Patrick
How many teams?
Marvin
A few. I just want to know. I just want to know why. If you don't get your wise answer, you're gonna always be curious. In life, I like to get my wise answer because this is, this is my guy. I mean, these are my kids. This ain't just a homie, a friend. These are my kids.
Dan Patrick
Who does Shador remind you of?
Marvin
His dad? He reminds me of me in a lot of ways. He, he. He's the son that has always been there. Like, what I mean by that is like Bucky, my oldest son. He lived with his mother, his mother for a period of time. I was always fathering him. But he didn't stay in the house for a period of time because of separation and divorce. But I won custody of my, my second set of kids, my second three. But Shador never ventured out. He, he didn't get mad and get upset and run to mommy and, and whatever that would, would be. Shador has always consistently been there, but just.
Dan Patrick
He's been with you, you mean?
Marvin
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
Okay.
Marvin
Yeah, that's what I mean by that.
Dan Patrick
I admired his toughness. Yeah, he hung in the pocket, but he's not elusive like you.
Marvin
He, he. We don't want that speed. Yeah, but if he was, he was running the ball profusely. You criticize that he's a drop back passer, he's a pre or pure pocket.
Dan Patrick
I wouldn't criticize it because we look at Lamar Jackson, there's only Lamar, one.
Marvin
Lamar, and Lamar didn't win an MVP award that he should have won last night. So there's always going to be criticism when your gift is exemplified tremendously.
Dan Patrick
But Josh Allen runs.
Marvin
Yeah, but you don't criticize him for running. You've never criticized him for running. You've criticized Lamar for running. That's a great analogy. I'm glad you said that.
Dan Patrick
No, I've criticized Josh Allen because he didn't take care of the football.
Marvin
No. A lot of people have. Yes.
Dan Patrick
I mean, I can only speak for me.
Marvin
Yes.
Dan Patrick
You're speaking in generalities. I, Lamar Jackson, I thought was going to win the mvp.
Marvin
Thank you.
Dan Patrick
I thought he was going to win the.
Marvin
I did too.
Dan Patrick
Josh Allen is taking care of the football this year better. And I thought that was the better than. No, better for him.
Marvin
Okay. Both guys are tremendous. We can't put Josh down and lift them all up. But that MVP trophy I thought was. Lamar.
Dan Patrick
I would have given it to Saquon Barkley.
Marvin
No.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Marvin
Lamar. Well, because he's here. Would you have given it to him if he wasn't here?
Dan Patrick
He ran for 2,000 yards. He changed their offense.
Marvin
Yeah, but that has been done before. Yeah, multitude of times.
Dan Patrick
We're never going to have an MVP be a running back.
Marvin
But Lamar, what he did, I don't. I forget his statistics. But his turnovers. What he had three interceptions or something. Four interceptions in, in what, 18, 19 games?
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Marvin
That's crazy.
Dan Patrick
I know.
Marvin
That's absurd. Like what he's doing is what everybody said he couldn't do. And he did it to another level and it still wasn't glorified.
Dan Patrick
What if we had the MVP handed out at the end of the year?
Marvin
That's when it should be handed out. That's when all awards should be handed out. When the work, body of work is done.
Dan Patrick
So then it's either Mahomes or Saquon Barkley who probably would win the mvp.
Marvin
No. Just because they have the lasting impression, that doesn't mean that they're the mvp.
Dan Patrick
But that isn't value winning championships.
Marvin
Yes, but it's not singularly valued. It's not. That don't make you better because your team is there. You have a better team. There's some guys that could flat out play, but if you put them on a different team, they're wonderful example. Cam Ward, Cam Warden, Shador are best of friends. Cam Ward. Last year he probably would have been a third, fourth round draft pick. He goes to Miami now. He's arguably the first pick.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Marvin
What happened? What changed? Was the scouts wrong or did he go to a better team and get in a better situation or were the scouts wrong?
Dan Patrick
Probably both.
Marvin
So let's say they wrong. They misdiagnosed him, they misrepresented him. They. They treated him unfairly. And I love where he is right now. I flat out love it because it make them all look like a fool. Because last year you can't Tell me this wasn't the same guy. That's the same Cam that I knew that's the same Cam is doing his thing. He just has a different uniform on and I love it.
Dan Patrick
If you could change one thing about college football right now, it has to.
Marvin
Be more structure in regards to what was supposedly, what was supposedly nil. It's not nil. It's collective. It's. It's pay per view. So if I could change something, it would have to be structuring guidelines for these kids. It would be a mimic of the NFL when, when rookies come in. This is what you could get. This is the maximum. It would be like that for high school kids. Then the college kids that have already proven themselves would be more, would have more value. We got to have some type of structure. If not, you're going to see the same teams that's exhausting themselves financially in the collectives go to the playoffs every year. You may see two surprises like Arizona State, who played phenomenal, and a couple other teams. But mostly was it Boise State. Yeah, it played phenomenally. But you know, you, you get knocked out. So if it's not even, if I can't give you what the other team can give you or pay you, it's not even.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I, I don't know if we get to the pro model eventually.
Marvin
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
Where maybe we take the top 50 schools and then we kind of divide them into regions and then that's gonna happen eventually. Yeah, I think so.
Marvin
It's going. And most schools probably going to break away from football. Is probably going to break away from the other sports. Yeah, it's probably going to be football. Then other sports have their own ad and it's probably going to roll like that.
Dan Patrick
You're here. It's almonds. It's almond and I love it. Yeah.
Marvin
I don't just endorse a product to endorse a product. I endorse a product because I believe in it. Like, you know, being healthy, being fit, you know, I don't have a belt loop. You see, my pants don't have belt loops. I got to stay lean and mean. So almonds keeps me right there. Weight wise, my skin is pretty. Look at that close up. Come close up on me. The skin. What skin is looking good.
Dan Patrick
What's your playing weight and as opposed to where you are now?
Marvin
I probably was anywhere from 185 to 208. I'm right now I'm probably 204 leg slightly bo back to my almonds.
Dan Patrick
All right, here we go. Here we go.
Marvin
I, I, I love California almonds. I, I, I love everything about it. They're a healthy snack because I'm a, I'm a fit guy, so I'm a health conscious type of guy. And when I'm starving and when I'm hungry or something, just to have something, instead of stopping at a fast food place or whatever to grab something, I'm able to pop my almonds in.
Dan Patrick
Almonds.com. which team will be serving your son almonds in the.
Marvin
That's good. That's good. I don't, I don't, I don't know. I think he's gonna go, I don't think. I know he's gonna go anywhere from, from 1 to 3, I think @ the latest. And, and last or leading up to last season, I said that he and Travis probably going to be 1 and 2 or something like that, but it's probably going to be 2 and 3 or 1 and 2. 1 and 3. It's going to be one of the other. But I'm excited. He's the only quarterback that has had, I think, seven coordinators. He's the only quarterback that, that has played every game, started every game in high school as well as college, except one. He's the only quarterback that you can't brag and boast of a running game on an offensive line that has tremendously protected him. He had to do what he had to do. He's the only quarterback that, that stands and delivers each and don't fault anyone that I love what this kid is about. He's training right now. He's on the field right now working out.
Dan Patrick
It's almonds.com. own your prime.
Marvin
That's right.
Dan Patrick
To learn more.
Marvin
That's right. We're in our prime. We got to own your prime. And you got to be healthy, man. You guys got to think healthy, eat healthy, live healthy. And you guys look good. Most of you. Most of you.

Marvin
No, you're. You're good.
Dan Patrick
No, but you need an upgrade.

Final hour on the final day. How did it happen so quickly here? Amazing. Want to thank all of the great folks, people at the exchange pickleball place here, the pickleball place in New Orleans for hosting us. All the great people who made this possible in the entire week here. Also, King's Hawaiian has some food. They fired up the Traeger grills. They have the shrimp Po Boy sliders, the MVP slider, the Amalfi coast slider. We'll have those on display coming up in about 40 minutes from now. 877-3-DP Show. Email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle @DP Show. We'll get to more phone calls. Seaton poll question for the final hour of the program as well.
Unknown
Well, let's see. Let me update you real quick on the percentage of people that are rooting for the Eagles because that is going significantly in one direction. It's actually getting closer. Oh, rebounding a little bit. It's now a 54% Eagles. Okay, that's pretty interesting.
Dan Patrick
The NFL honors last night, Josh Allen, MVP, which is surprising. I gave you a stat earlier in the show. I'll bring it back. He got the MVP. He's the first player in 21 years to win the MVP without being selected. First team all pro had 27 of the 50 first place votes. Lamar Jackson had 23 first place votes. And that's the smallest difference between first and second since Peyton Manning and Steve McNair declared co MVPs with 16 first place votes each back in 2003. Also Kevin OConnell, coach of the year and that's the second 14 win season in the last three years. The second Vikings coach to win the award. The other coach, of course, the great Bud Grant, that was back in 1969. Some NBA stuff. Last night LeBron had 42 and 17. I think he's the oldest to get 40 and the youngest to get 40 in NBA history. He's going to have all the records when it's all said and done. But at age 40, the oldest player to have a 3015 game as well. Now five games with 30 or more points since turning 40. That ties in with Michael Jordan as well. Anthony Edwards went for 49 on the Bulls last night and the Joker went for 28, 12 and 10. So he has 24 triple doubles. That's the most by any player prior to the all star break. That was Russell Westbrook back in 2018. Didn't he win the MVP that year? He did. As a six seed. As a sixth seed. Yep. Oh, they weren't very good.
Marvin
But he got a triple double so they gave it to him.
Dan Patrick
Oh, I know that it made it easy for the voters. They go, he averaged a triple double. Now it feels like everybody is sort of, you know, got the chance. How many triple doubles did? 91 players have had triple doubles so far.
Marvin
Yeah, I think Malachi Flynn got one too.
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Yes.
Unknown
Paulie, what if we make it tougher and now it's got to be a triple dozen.
Dan Patrick
Triple dozen.
Unknown
Yeah. Now it's a more of an accomplishment, just a touch more. But I bet that would.
Dan Patrick
So you have to have at least 12 assists and 12 rebounds or you have 12. 12. 12, 12 or more.
Unknown
Trip does Marvin.
Dan Patrick
Okay. All right, we'll get phone calls. Coming up, let's bring in Josh Jacobs, the Green Bay packers running back. I'm looking at what he did this past season. 1300 yards, 15 touchdowns, first team all pro. He's a three time pro bowler, NFL rushing yards leader. In 2022 he was all rookie, won a national championship at Alabama. So there's a lot of stuff there. Wow, that's a damn good. You look ready to go. Come on out. All right. Josh looks like he's ready to go. He's got. He brought his shoulder pads here as well. You are ready for the game. Those are the X Tech shoulder pads. So the. You'll talk about the technology there. This is the 13th year that number one shoulder pads in the NFL and Division 1 football, so. And you use those?
Unknown
Yeah, I use those. Man X Tech. Since I came in, probably my junior year of college, reached out to me and let me try it out. I went over, flew over to the headquarters, got to see, you know, what they all, what they all was about. And then, I mean, I think 90% of the guys in the NFL right now wear them. All the elite college guys wear them. I mean, if you just look last year in the league, guys that you brought up, Josh Allen, Pass her tane. My favorite linebacker, Fred Warner. All of these guys wore this for me. They light, you know, you don't feel anything. And I haven't had any injuries from the shoulder or anything since I've since wearing them. So I'm gonna wear them my whole career.
Dan Patrick
So you can be friends with a linebacker. Fred Warner, bro.
Unknown
I ain't a lot. He. It's more of a respect thing. He's. He's the best. He's the best I've ever been against for sure.
Dan Patrick
What makes him so great?
Unknown
His instincts, I would say. How fast he is and how physical he is. And he doesn't take a playoff. Like, he's one of them guys that. He's the leader of that defense for sure.
Dan Patrick
Okay, but who's the other guy? Like when you get to the line of scrimmage, you know you're getting the ball.
Unknown
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
Let's say Jalen Carter's there.
Unknown
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
Or let's say I, I don't know who else you would go, where is he? How many players do you go, where is that guy?
Unknown
I would say most of the time I never look at the defensive line. Never. You don't care When I'm running the ball, I manipulate them. I don't really, I don't really too much look at them. So I look at the linebackers and safeties and it's only a few safeties to me that actually want that type of, type of smoke. So I mean, I like, I like Buddha Baker. He's one of them guys. He'll hit you wherever he's around the ball every play. He's one of them guys. He's going to come down, he's trigger fast, he's going to make a play. Brian Branch is lowkey the same way too. So those guys got my respect. A lot of people just, okay, so.
Dan Patrick
Those defense, their defensive backs, where you go, don't even, don't even bother. Yeah, no, it's not even.
Unknown
Nah. You can look at their eyes like.
Dan Patrick
That, but you don't do, like, Derek Henry. Derrick Henry is like, get out of here. And, like, you know, knocks him to the sidelines there.
Unknown
Yeah. See, I try them. I always try to run them over early because I always notice either two things that happen. Either they gonna sit and catch the next time, or they gonna shoot low. So I kind of just like, yeah, we set the tone.
Dan Patrick
What do you mean, shoot and catch?
Unknown
Like they're sitting. Catch like they literally stop their feet and wait for it and secure the tackle. Or they'll literally just dive at your legs. So, like, it's either or. So, like, basically, you run them over early. You can set up the juke or you set up your other moves later.
Dan Patrick
But what do you think of that DB who goes for your legs?
Unknown
I think he's. I think he's soft, but I understand.
Dan Patrick
Give me. Give me the defensive back, though. That's soft. That did that to you.
Unknown
Almost all.
Dan Patrick
You got. The tattoos, anything of significance there?
Unknown
Yeah. So this one right here. So fun fact. Everything on the left side of my body is basically the tattoos I feel like is more of an importance. All of my tattoos have meanings, but it's more of an important importance because they say the left veins run to your heart first. So, like, I got, like, my family members, my, like, my kids, my grandma, stuff like that. On the left side.
Dan Patrick
No goofy tattoos.
Unknown
Nah.
Dan Patrick
And don't get a woman's name tattoo.
Unknown
No, no, no. Can't do it.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Unknown
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
You're comfortable wearing that bracelet out there, that. There's a lot going on there?
Unknown
Yeah. I mean, I spend. I spend a lot of time out here. I'm used to, like, I can get around this city without GPS and all of that. Like, my roommate in college was Irv Smith, tight end. He's from New Orleans. So like, every holiday or break or anything I had, I always came out here because going home to Oklahoma was too far. So, like.
Dan Patrick
And Bo.
Unknown
So, like, we always used to come out here, and then, like, right when the, like, spring got over with or the season was over, where we got done with training, it was always like, Mardi Gras season. So we used to always call, like, the half of the whole team used to always come back and come here.
Dan Patrick
So you imagine if you'd gone to LSU instead of Alabama?
Unknown
Nah, I don't like them colors.
Dan Patrick
Oh, you don't, but you would have fun.
Unknown
It would have fun for sure.
Dan Patrick
How did. How did Coach Saban close You, man.
Unknown
The crazy thing is, so I didn't. I didn't have any stars coming out from high school. And so, like, it's funny because Saban actually just told the story probably, like, two weeks ago. I've never. I've never told the story, but I didn't have any stars. So one day I'm at basketball practice, and Burton Burns, he's actually from Louisiana, he comes out and he. He watches me hoop. And he was like, man, like, I'm not even supposed. He told me. He said, man, I'm not even supposed to be here. Like, he said, I. Some people told me about you at another school I was visiting. I decided to make a stop. He was like, I was gonna be here for, like, five minutes, end up staying for, like, two hours, had a conversation. And then when I took my visit and I sat down with Saban, I think the thing that sold me the most was we never talked about football. He. All. He. The only thing he talked to me about was how he could make me a better person, how he can grow me as a man and set me up for positions to have to be secure when I'm done playing the game. And that's the thing that sold me the most.
Dan Patrick
And you, of course, validated the deez nuts. You gave us the first report years ago. Like, whenever we bring anybody from Alabama, I had Bryce Young on, I go, deez nuts. And he started giggling, and I said, coach Saban, you know, he's. He did authenticate it. I did ask Coach Saban, you say, d's nuts? He goes, yeah, yeah. I'd say decent.
Unknown
Yeah, man. People don't give him a love credit for how funny he really is.
Dan Patrick
Well, we're seeing him on TV now, and that personality's coming out.
Marvin
Yeah.
Unknown
Facts.
Dan Patrick
But Bryce said if he said these nuts, that was a good thing. Yeah, like he was in a good mood.
Unknown
Yeah, definitely. I would say. I would say if he joked around with you, then, one, he liked you. And then two, he was definitely in a good mood that day.
Dan Patrick
What was it like when he was not in a good mood?
Unknown
I think I was only on his bad side maybe one time. Like, I was one of them people. Like, I'd never miss workouts. I, like, never missed class. Like, I kind of, like, did everything the right way. I remember one game we had bumped heads a little bit. It was actually my junior year was against Ole Miss. I had got, like, a tone in penalty after I scored. So, you know, he. He got. He laid into me, and I was like, okay, so, you know, you got to eat that. And then he came back and laid into me again, like, probably like a drive or two later. And like, I got up and we kind of like went back and forth. And then after, after that, me and him became like best friends. So it was crazy. I think one thing about Saban, he. He's so used to people walking on eggshells around him that anybody that has the, I guess, the guts to stand up to him, he kind of like respects it in a different level.
Dan Patrick
He's Josh Jacobs. He's the Green Bay packers running back. And joining us on behalf of X Tech shoulder pads, the Latest in technology. 13 years, the number one pad and pro in division one. How would you sum up Saquon Barkley's season?
Unknown
Man, I mean, he had an electric season. You know, obviously, you know, they have a really good team over there. He has probably the greatest office of line and you know, in football this year.
Dan Patrick
What's he do different? What you do better than you?
Unknown
I say he. That his top end speed for sure. Top end speed. If he sliding and he just does like, you could tell he just looks like he's having fun. Like he's just creating, like when you in that zone, it's like. I feel like you just create and it looks like he's in that zone a lot.
Dan Patrick
What's that feeling like when you're in the zone as a running back?
Unknown
For me, for me, everything slows down. It almost kind of feels like you moving in slow motion. Everything, like I can. Only thing I can hear is myself, breathe. Like, literally. It's weird. Like, but. And it feels like every play like you about to score, every play you touch the ball.
Dan Patrick
Your welcome to the NFL moment was what?
Unknown
Welcome to the NFL. Probably my rookie year, we played the Vikings at the bank, and that was the year that they had, like, I think everybody on their defense played together for like three or four years. And I remember, like, my first, second and third option was all gone. I'm like, where do you want me to go? That was the first time I ever felt like, bruh, I cannot do anything.
Dan Patrick
You gotta help me here.
Unknown
Yeah, that was good.
Dan Patrick
And so they roughed you up?
Unknown
Yeah, they definitely roughed me up. I was like, okay, I. I understood it now. Like, the. The thought process, the, you know, the mentality that it took and all of those things. I was like, yeah, they legit.
Dan Patrick
But did they welcome you to the end? Like, did they say stuff to you like, the opposition?
Unknown
See, people always try to be My friend, in the game, it's not too many people that just come up and like we go back and forth because I tell people like, man, please do not turn me up, Please not, please do not turn me up. Because I was really, you know, I'm, I'm going about my business. But like, don't bring it, don't bring it out.
Dan Patrick
Okay, but what would make you mad where you do turn it up?
Unknown
Like I remember like last year, right? So I had got like an 8 yard gain and the dude made a tackle and he started celebrating. I'm like, that's a loss for you. Like what are we talking about? Like that's a loss. So like stuff like that, like I said, people don't get too crazy. Crazy with me. For real.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, I guess. I, I, you know, but, but it's just like some of these other running back, Derek Henry, I'm not gonna make it mad.
Unknown
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
Plus he's, he's as big as defensive lineman.
Unknown
Yeah, he's, I tell people all the time he's a running back in the defensive ends body for sure.
Dan Patrick
But he's a Hall of Famer right now.
Unknown
Oh yeah, most definitely.
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Did you want to play another position when you were growing up?
Unknown
So I, coming out of high school I had offers from like TCU for db. So like I play, I played defense. I was also 180 at the time, so like I was moving a lot, a lot better. But I couldn't see myself playing defense. I always wanted people. Yeah, I always wanted to be the guy that like make the plays and you know, set the tone and things like that. So don't you want to be that.
Dan Patrick
Guy like honey Badger or somebody and just hit somebody?
Unknown
It just seems so boring though. Like that's the thing. Like defense, like if I'm playing corner, I really don't like, you know, you only make a play when the ball come your way, like. But I feel like you can create more, you have more creativity, you know, when you touching the ball and you getting it a lot.
Dan Patrick
Do you care who wins Sunday?
Unknown
Nah, not really.
Dan Patrick
Are you going to watch the game?
Unknown
Nah. Not going to watch the game? Nah. I couldn't tell you the last Super Bowl I watched, last Super Bowl I watched was probably like middle school, honestly. Yeah. So I couldn't, I couldn't tell you. But obviously I got a lot of teammates that's on the Eagles, so I'm like rooting for them. But like at the same time. I played against Patrick Mahomes twice basically my whole Career. And I wouldn't bet against them.
Dan Patrick
What was Mahomes like when he was at Texas Tech?
Unknown
He was a dog. He was a dog.
Dan Patrick
But you knew that he would. Like I thought he was. I didn't know he'd be this. Yeah, but I, I knew he was entertaining.
Unknown
Yeah. I remember seeing a lot about him and I'm like, texas Tech, like, he was the only reason why I knew who Texas Tech was, really. I'm not gonna lie.

Dan Patrick delves into the surprising outcome of the recent NFL MVP awards. Contrary to expectations, Josh Allen clinched the MVP title over Lamar Jackson by a narrow margin.

This decision marked the smallest difference between first and second place since 2003, when Peyton Manning and Steve McNair were declared co-MVPs with 16 first-place votes each.
Insights:
Betting Implications: Dan shares anecdotes about listeners who wagered on the awards, highlighting the unpredictability and excitement surrounding the MVP race.

Dan discusses the intersection of sports awards and gambling, recounting stories of listeners who placed futures bets on MVP and Rookie of the Year categories.

Dan shares his personal stance, favoring the combination of MVP titles despite the lack of Hall of Fame induction.
Dan Patrick [11:19]: "I'd give the MVP and Super Bowl MVP over being a Hall of Famer. The immediate impact and recognition are more tangible to me."

Dan transitions to lighter, relatable content by discussing how to handle a talkative guest at a Super Bowl party.

- Leave the party altogether.
Listeners share their experiences and strategies, with Dan emphasizing the importance of maintaining a balance between social interaction and personal enjoyment.
Dan Patrick [15:28]: "We don't need to talk. Let's just watch the game. The commercials, the halftime show — it's best enjoyed without unnecessary distractions."
