You got the Bengals beating the Cowboys 27:20. You're saying there's a chance the Cowboys are 5 and 8. Cincinnati is 5 and 8. One team feels a whole lot better at 5 and 8 than the other team feels at 5 and 8. And with the Cowboys, you're looking at a team that was just never ready to, you know, compete. Even if Dak Prescott's there, they still had a lot of holes and I think that was the big concern. You're all in, but you weren't all in and it showed. Troy Aikman last night said he thinks Mike McCarthy is going to be coming back. Micah Parsons says, hey, I hope we can all run this back. I hope Mike McCarthy is coming back. And with Jerry Jones, he is loyal. He's been loyal to a fault. So maybe he is going to bring Mike McCarthy back, which seems pretty bizarre after what has transpired here. And he left him out there as a lame duck coach. But Cincinnati wins this one. And if you look at their schedule, their remaining schedule, they got a shot here, they got a shot. And I don't know if it's a legitimate shot to make the playoffs, but you got to win out. And this is the AFC where you got a chance. You're at the Titans, then you have the Browns at home, the Broncos at home, and then you're at the Steelers. I don't know what the Steelers will be playing for, but there is that Cincinnati Pittsburgh rivalry. The Broncos are playoff team. You're going to host them. The Browns. Enigmatic. And you got the Titans as well. But right now at 5 and 8 and you watched last night and maybe you watched the same way I did, it's like, why aren't they better? Burrow has been great this year. Jamar Chase is unbelievable. The defense has been terrible. That's the biggest difference here and now they did hold Dallas to 20, but they needed help in the final two minutes there with the block punt, the fumble and then you let Joe Burrow little out pattern to Jamar Chase. Like for the life of me, I'm thinking, do you have coverage over the top? Like you have to have one guy on Jamar Chase and you have to have another guy right there for a helping hand and give credit to Jamar Chase. It's a simple pass round, just out, do zip, dupe, touchdown and then that's it. Ball game. 8773 DP show email address DP danpatrick.com Twitter handle @DP Show Here's Mike McCarthy after the loss last night. Would you say that this is maybe the toughest pill to swallow as far as a non playoff loss? You Experience as a head coach?
Marvin
Well, definitely, because, I mean, where it puts us in the season, you know.
Dan Patrick
We understand that we dug ourselves a.
Marvin
Hole, you know, the seven losses coming in here. So we had. We had to have this one tonight, you know, and yes, definitely, this is a very, very disappointing loss.
Paul Pabst
We talked about this in September where I said, you're going to have a loss by a team that when we get to December, we're going to look back and go, oh, my God. The Bengals open the season losing at home to Jacoby Brissett and the Patriots. And we said at the time, that's the kind of thing that can keep you from home field advantage, from winning your division to making the playoffs. And that might be the case for the Bengals. Teams that lose in September, it still costs, you know, it still counts as one loss, but it's costly at the end of the year when you have these losses early and you go, oh, my God, they lost to them. Seaton, what's poll question today for the first hour?
Dan Patrick
Well, we got a couple here. One here from Paulie. Quarterback, least likely to win a Super Bowl.
Paul Pabst
Whoa. Whoa. Least likely? Where did. Where did that come from?
Marvin
I.
Dan Patrick
Okay. Two years ago, I would have said that Joe Burrow is going to win a Super bowl, and I would have bet my career on it. Bet anything on it. The Bengals look good. He looked great. They almost beat the Rams a couple plays away. It feels like they're going getting further from the Super Bowl. Joe Burrow and the Bengals. And then I threw in some other quarterbacks.
Paul Pabst
Okay.
Dan Patrick
We have Lamar Jackson.
Paul Pabst
Okay.
Dan Patrick
I don't know if that feels closer.
Paul Pabst
Well, they're closer than Joe Burrow and the Bengals are.
Dan Patrick
Correct. But are they closer than two years ago?
Paul Pabst
I just think they've had a rough patch. I think that team can win on the road. I. I think that if that game plan is carried out, then, yeah, I still think that they can go to a Super Bowl. I do.
Dan Patrick
Go to a Super Bowl.
Paul Pabst
Go to a Super Bowl.
Dan Patrick
Can they win a Super Bowl?
Paul Pabst
I'll say yes, because John Harbaugh has won a Super bowl before, so I'll say yes. But they don't have a good defense either. Who else is on there?
Dan Patrick
Well, Brock Purdy. He felt really close last year.
Paul Pabst
Well, he was. You can't get any closer than being in the Super Bowl.
Dan Patrick
But I'm saying, does it feel much.
Paul Pabst
Thank you, Paul.
Dan Patrick
Well, I'm saying, does it feel much farther this year? And they always talk about windows with the 49ers.
Paul Pabst
Oh, I think the window closed this year. I don't know if it's closed for Brock Purdy, but yeah, I mean he's like Joe Burrow. He had a chance. Had a chance. Maybe that's the last chance he has. Yes, Seaton.
Dan Patrick
Justin Herbert.
Paul Pabst
I, I don't know if he's farther, further away from a Super Bowl. I just don't know if he's closer. Maybe because of Jim Harbaugh. Yeah. All right, who else is on the list? Then we can go back and say, all right, who's the furthest away?
Dan Patrick
All right, last on the list then would be Jalen Hertz. So you have Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Brock Purdy, Justin Herbert. Jalen Hertz. Joe Burrow is least likely to win a Super Bowl.
Paul Pabst
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
That's crazy.
Paul Pabst
Well, I have to look at his team. Jalen Hertz is on a really good team. Lamar Jackson is on a team that can be dangerous. Justin Herbert is going to make the playoffs with Jim Harbaugh in his first year there. Brock Purdy, with the injuries, they seem to be non threatening right now, but I would say Joe Burrow, he's not even going to make the playoffs.
Dan Patrick
Yes, Jalen hurts fairly or unfairly. I'm not saying this is the way that I feel, but Jalen Hertz is the only quarterback on that list who is still a question mark for being a starting quarterback.
Paul Pabst
Yes. And I've done the questioning. There are times when I go, I just don't know if he's a, a good quarterback or quarterback in a really good situation.
Dan Patrick
Maybe Brock Purdy, maybe.
Paul Pabst
Yes. But I think Brock Purdy, when he plays really, really well is better than Jalen hurts. When Jalen hurts, plays really, really well.
Dan Patrick
Really well.
Paul Pabst
Jalen hurts gives you the element of running. I mean, Brock Purdy does run, but Brock Purdy, when everybody's playing, that's when he plays really, really well. Jalen hurts. They can sometimes. Like I watched the game against Carolina, he just kind of does some things and I just don't, I don't know if he's a, you know, going to be a really good passer. I think now I go back to that super bowl and you could have given him the MVP and a loss. I wouldn't have had a problem with it. He was that good. I just, I don't know. There's something that I don't see the consistency. I don't see him being that, oh my gosh, Jalen hurts. Is he doing what he's supposed to do? I guess you Know when they're not throwing the ball. I mean, that's a run first team. So I don't know what that. They got receivers. They got a. They got a couple of really good receivers. You got a really good tight end. And it feels like they're a running game, running team. So that. That's a little bit surprising there. Yeah. Paulie.
Dan Patrick
It feels like the Eagles could win a Super bowl with Hertz playing B level football. They almost did it already, you know, 22 touchdowns and 10 picks type guy. You know, I don't. I'm not comparing it to Troy Aikman, but the focus on the quarterback is similar to Detroit Aikman days where he doesn't have to do a ton because he's got so much talent.
Paul Pabst
But I think we always felt that Troy Aikman could step up in a big moment and then provide that play. I don't know about Jalen Hurts. When it comes to passing playmaking, it's different. Like, I look at Lamar as a better passer. I look at Lamar as a better quarterback, more dangerous. But it just feels like Jalen Hurd sometimes has to keep up with everybody else on the offense there. And I don't know if it's, you know, Nick Sirianni. I don't know if it's play calling, whatever it is. And then you got a receiver who's saying, I'm always open and you're not throwing me the ball. And then all of a sudden you're like, wait, you're winning. You're winning. It's hidden about touches. But Jalen Hurts can win a Super Bowl. I mean, that's a really good team, really good team, and maybe the most balanced team that I've seen this year. And that's because Detroit lost some. Some players due to injury. By the way, I have the matchups here. According to draftkings, these are the super bowl exact results. Lions over the Chiefs, Chiefs over the Lions. Lions over the Bills. Bills over the Lions. Lions to beat the Ravens. So the Lions are prohibitive favorites to go to the super bowl with this, with draftkings. So the Lions to beat the Chiefs is slightly more of a favorite than the Chiefs to beat the Lions. And then it's Lions beating the Bills. Bills beating the Lions. Those are tied at plus 1500. And then you have the Lions over the Ravens at plus 1600. The Lions to beat the Chiefs plus 1200. Chiefs to beat the Lions plus 1400. That's interesting with what Vegas, how Vegas sees this, that the Lions feel like they are the team in the nfc and you got that game against Buffalo coming up and which might say a lot about both of these teams because Buffalo, what happened in Los Angeles and now you're going to go against the Lions here. Also, I have the odds to be the number one overall pick in the NFL draft. I'll have that for you coming up. Also, I filled out my Heisman ballot yesterday, late afternoon. Paulie always helps me. He takes care of the actual sending it in because there are times when I go, I don't know if I'm filling this out correctly.
Dan Patrick
It's confusing.
Paul Pabst
Yes. And, but I did wait, I did want to wait until all the games are played to be fair to all the candidates. And I'm not allowed to reveal who I voted for. They ask us, they remind us not to reveal. And I will say I probably had one surprise on my ballot. It's 1, 2 and 3 is how you vote. But after the Heisman ceremony that I can tell you who I voted for and why. All right. 8773 DP show email address DP dan patrick.com Twitter handle it DP Show by the way, the over under for first round road wins coming up this weekend we have to pick the one game there's going to be one road team, at least one road team to win this weekend. I feel that way. This is for the college football playoffs. One, the over under is one and a half road wins this weekend. Could you see two teams win on the road? Also I heard from somebody, a college football source who is, well, extremely plugged in, who said, you know, when I said, hey, whatever happens first round, can you reseed those teams? So let's say Clemson wins, Oregon wins. Oregon would then play Clemson because they're 12th in Oregon's one. If, if that, you know how that's how it played out. Clemson won. So the challenge of receding, according to my source, after the first set of games is the logistics of fan base with flights and hotels scrambling in a short period of time. Keeping in mind that that's a lot of people to accommodate and these are bowl games, which week long events with their respective locations. So for a lot of reasons, receding is too complicated. That's why they won't be able to do that because. And he's right that we want to see that reseed them. Now I think there's another way around this. I think there's a better way to be ranking these teams that if you win, you're in the playoffs. But that doesn't mean you get a first round buy when you're in. That's when Vegas will have the odds because Vegas doesn't have any emotion attached to this. They're going to tell you that the team that has the best chance to win the national title, all the way down to the team with the worst odds, that's the way I think it should be done. And I think next year or the year after that when they expand to 14, that's probably what they're going to do. So if you're looking for reseeding, it's once the result happens this weekend, then you're going to tell somebody, hey, you want to get on a flight, you got to get hotel accommodations and you're going to go in and then all of a sudden you're going to have a bowl game atmosphere as opposed to playing a home game.
Dan Patrick
Yes, Pauline, you know, based off that, there are some college towns that can host a lot of people and there's some that I don't know how they do it, like Texas, Austin, full service town, big town city, Ohio State, Columbus. I've been there with you. It's bigger than I expected. But Happy Valley in South Bend, how does South Bend get an influx of people come there? Do they stay in Chicago? Do they, I can't imagine how many people they could host in that city.
Paul Pabst
Well, you're only hosting one game and but you're giving them ample time to find accommodations there. That's really the key. And then a lot of people do stay in Chicago and then, you know, whatever, an hour and a half to South Bend. But you got Indiana fans in South Bend. That'll be, you know, interesting trek for them as well. Like could Boise, you know, handle a couple of different, you know, fan bases there? So I think that that's interesting too. But reseeding is not going to happen just because of the logistics.

Congratulations to 3am Innovations on their first place win for innovation in community at this year's Unconventional Awards by T Mobile for business. 3am used T Mobile 5G to enable Florian, the first AI enabled incident command platform for first responders. Florian's features include real time tracking of personnel on a 3D map and voice activation. AI is used to filter out background noise until it hears a trigger word such as mayday, increasing situational awareness on the ground and improving on Site safety. This will shape rapid response moving forward. And for that, T Mobile congratulates 3am for their unconventional thinking last night. This was the play that turned the game around with the Bengals and the Cowboys. All right, here's the punt by Ryan Raco.
Marvin
Ball is blocked.
Paul Pabst
The Bengals are going to have the ball.
Marvin
You can't touch it when it's blocked beyond the line of scrimmage.
Paul Pabst
And the Bengals are going to have.
Dan Patrick
It at the 45.
Paul Pabst
All you have to do is let it roll. Don't touch it, and you'll get that ball. Then all of a sudden, you put a hand on it. Now it's a live ball. Bengals recover. And then it was a touchdown pass from Joe Burrow to Jamar Chase. And just like that, that was a tough loss. Here's Jerry Joan, the Cowboys owner. If you told me that going into the end of that fourth quarter all they had was 20 points, I would have taken that with a smile and said, if we can hold them to 20, that gives us our best chance. And we did that. So I thought our defense played really well tonight on balance. Played well enough to win, and obviously our offense played well enough to win. We just. There's three phases. You got a special team phase, and that cost us. The Cowboys are one in six at home, on pace for their worst home record since 2015, when they were 1 and 7. Their point differential is almost 17 points per home game, their worst since their first year of existence in 1960. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Stat of the day.
Marvin
Here comes that.
Paul Pabst
What? Stat of the day, brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show. I was wondering, when was the last time we had three teams with at least 11 wins in the NFC at this juncture in the season? So The Lions are 12 and 1, Eagles are 11 and 2, Vikings 11 and 2. The last time the NFC had three teams with at least 11 wins through the first 13 games of a season was 1986. Giants, Redskins and the Bears were all 11 2. All right, phone calls are welcome. We'll get to those poll question for hour one and then what are we going to go with hour two? Seaton?
Dan Patrick
Well, we got up there right now. Receiver I would start my team with right now. Your options are Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, Brock Bowers and CD Lamb. Jamar Chase is leading that with about 45% of the vote, followed by Justin Jefferson 2.7% of the vote. CD Lamb. Okay, that seems crazy to me.
Paul Pabst
CD Lamb's. A star. It's just Jamar Chase recency bias. I'm going to guess because he was.
Dan Patrick
Awesome last night, he's having a great season too.
Paul Pabst
Justin Jefferson makes it look easy and so does Brock Bowers. But you have to go out of your way to watch the Raiders. You have to find them. And then when you find them, then you realize Brock Bowers is a difference maker. He's lived up to the hype because when he was at Georgia and even lad McConkie, I mean, is he going to end up with a thousand yards receiving? And who would have thought? He was kind of lost in the shuffle there with Georgia, which happens because of all the talent there. But with the Chargers, he's been their go to guy. He's been really unbelievable. Rob Gronkowski will join us in an hour from now. Get his thoughts on Brock Bowers and can he be Rookie of the Year? As Jaden Daniels built up enough house credit that Brock Bowers can't be the Rookie of the Year because if I'm going to, he's going to probably set the record for rookie receptions. Puka Nakua had that and what is it, 105. So he's on pace for around, you know, 107, 108, maybe a thousand yards receiving for a terrible team. Jaden Daniels, if he gets his team in the playoffs, then he's, he, he deserves Rookie of the Year because that's a big deal, especially at that position. What are the odds? How much of a favorite is Jaden Daniels Pauling?
Dan Patrick
Quite a bit. He's minus 265. Heavy favorite. Bo Nix is right behind him. Brock Bowers is third as of today.
Paul Pabst
Okay.
Dan Patrick
Caleb Williams and a few other guys are in the mix.
Paul Pabst
Yeah, Caleb Williams doesn't deserve to be in the mix. Bo Nix has done well. Brock Bowers has been really good. Not going to win it, but he's going to make a late run here. Maybe make it a little uncomfortable here for the voters. Yes. Marvin, is it going to be weird.
Dan Patrick
When Brock Bowers is first team all Pro but doesn't win offensive Rookie of.
Marvin
The Year in the NFL?
Paul Pabst
Wow. How many tight ends have been first team all pro their rookie year? I mean, wow. And that is a, now that's a specialized position, you know, tight end. It's just you're a glorified wide receiver, you know, playing tight end and the attention that we put on that position here in the last 10 years or so. But for him to be first team all pro at tight end. Yeah.
Dan Patrick
Paulie I have Sam Laporta as second team all pro last year. I'm double checking but I have him as I've got some argument in back from a Lions fan but I have his second team all pro last. We're checking.
Paul Pabst
Okay, well picture day. Ray is a Lions fan so he's probably, you know, trying to plead his case that Sam Laporta deserved to be first team all prob.
Dan Patrick
I think that's what's going on.
Paul Pabst
We're checking of course. Of course. No college football playoff games coming up this weekend because they give the weekend to army and Navy. Then after that it'll start on Friday, December 20, Indiana at Notre Dame. And I mentioned this first hour, if you're just joining us, the over under first round road wins for the college football playoffs is one and a half that I was surprised. I thought it might have been a half that, you know, is it going to be one team is going to win on the road or nobody's going to win? It feels like at least one team is going to win a road game and everybody on the road is at least a touchdown underdog here. Indiana seven and a half. Tennessee seven and a half. Clemson's like a 12 point underdog to Texas I think. So there's, there's some, there's some point spreads here that are a little larger than I'm sure the college football committee would like. Yes.
Dan Patrick
It's kind of the more that I look at this like the bracket, it's going to be incredibly difficult for a first round team to win the whole thing.
Paul Pabst
Yes. Yes.
Dan Patrick
That is a, that's a tall task.
Paul Pabst
Yeah. You're going to have to win a cup and you're going to win on the road and then you're going to win on the road. And how many you have to have four wins if you're a team that's playing this next weekend. Yes.
Dan Patrick
I wonder if there's even a single team in college football that's played any way you chop this up has played that tough of a four game stretch in the entire season. I bet that they haven't four games back to back like that against teams like this. I bet nobody's done that.
Paul Pabst
They should at least throw Mercer in there for one weekend for one of these teams, you know.
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Usually there's a right Crownsburg State in there.
Paul Pabst
Yeah. Sean in Oregon leads us off second hour. Hi Sean. What's on your mind today?
Marvin
Hey, Dan, I wanted to touch on this. Bill Belichick to nc I mean I think that's a terrible idea.
Dan Patrick
I mean, everyone knows that college football is about recruiting.
Marvin
And could you imagine Bill Belichick in there trying to recruit people he can't even relate to? I mean, we're talking. This guy is going to be problems. I mean, the next first thing I do is put stipulations on him saying.
Paul Pabst
You can't date the college girls, Bill.
Marvin
I'd tell him that straight away.
Paul Pabst
And I just don't think that's going to work out.
Marvin
I think it's going to be a comedy show. I mean, NFL teams ac they don't.
Paul Pabst
Want to bring him in now.
Dan Patrick
No good football teams want to bring him in.
Paul Pabst
I think he's going to be able to grab their attention because they know he can get them to the pros. I mean, that's what it comes down to. These kids are going to college, they want to get paid, they want to play and they want to get to the pros. If you're going and Bill Belichick is your coach, I think he'll be a magnet. This isn't relatability. He has other coaches who can relate to the players. Your offensive coordinator, your defensive coordinator, your quarterbacks coach, your receivers coach. He is the CEO. He's going to run a company. Nick Saban seemed to relate and they're the same age, so I don't buy into that. You learn, you adapt. And Belichick has always done that until the latter part of his career in New England where I think it became a very tense filled atmosphere with him and Robert Kraft. But this is Bill maybe saying, I got three years here and I turn it over to my son and I think that these kids going in there are going to go, can he get me to the NFL? Because that's what they want. Yeah. Marvin.
Marvin
Yeah. Can you imagine Belichick going in there.
Dan Patrick
Hey, I know you're a three star recruit.
Marvin
Nobody looks at you, but I drafted.
Dan Patrick
A guy in the sixth round, he.
Paul Pabst
Turned out all right.
Marvin
Or Malcolm Butler, he was from West Alabama, who heard of him? And then I turned him into something. He has a history of doing this with like lesser known talent and turning him into something.
Dan Patrick
So why can't he do that with Carolina?
Marvin
I mean, this seems perfect for him.
Paul Pabst
As long as he has the Nil money. And once again with what's happening in college football is these coaches know I don't want to deal with nil. I don't want to deal with transfer portal. That's why you have schools who are hiring general managers. That's what they're going to do. Andrew Luck is a GM of Stanford football. He's going to be handling these things. The coach is going to coach. Now, he might say, I like that guy. I like that guy more than that guy. Hey, we're going to need you, Bill, to close this guy. His mom wants to meet you. He might be doing things like that, but I think this is a great situation. It's Carolina. North Carolina. I don't know if there's a downside to it. Not right now. If he's interested in North Carolina and he's had two interviews, you imagine the person who's interviewing. All right, Prior experience. I. I brought my rings here. I'm the greatest coach of all time. Okay. All right, let me see the resume here. Do you have any recommendations? Yeah, hold on. Yeah, Tom, could you talk to him? Hey, it's Tom Brady. I just want to say the Bill's great. Thank you, Tom. Oh, who's on the phone? Hey, it's Nick Saban. Hey, Coach. So you vouch for Bill Belichick? Yeah, he's really good. Yeah, he's the greatest ever. Okay. All right. You got some decent resumes here. You got some, you know, good people here. Sticking up for Robert Kraft is not one of your references. Yes, Todd.
Dan Patrick
That was the pros, Bill. This is college. There's a whole other world.
Paul Pabst
Do you have the tight end information there, Paulie?
Dan Patrick
Yeah, tight ends. Rookie tight ends that made first team all pro. I can find two in the past 40 years.
Paul Pabst
40.
Dan Patrick
Past 40. One of them 80, late 80s, early 90s. The other early 2000s superstars in college. Both of them pretty tough.
Paul Pabst
Yes. Marvin.
Marvin
Kellen Winslow to second.
Paul Pabst
No, that was going to be my guess.
Dan Patrick
Good guess.
Paul Pabst
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
You're on the right track with Kellen Winslow ii.
Paul Pabst
Kellen Winslow.
Marvin
What?
Paul Pabst
Marvin. Jeremy Shockey.
Dan Patrick
Jeremy Shock is cracked.
Paul Pabst
Whoa.
Dan Patrick
He's rookie year.
Paul Pabst
The. You okay? I got it. Okay.
Dan Patrick
There's a guy felt like he was on his way to the hall of Fame. Four Pro Bowls in five years. All pro as a first team as a rookie, not in a Hall of Fame. And the other one is 80s 90s. Here's the hint.
Paul Pabst
Mark Bavaro.
Dan Patrick
No. Ooh.
Marvin
Oh, that's a good one.
Dan Patrick
That's a great guess. This guy was an all American in college and with a Keith Jackson. Jackson is correct. He was lightly used at Oklahoma.
Paul Pabst
Oklahoma.
Dan Patrick
But he was first team all pro his first three years with the Eagles and somehow is did not make the hall of Fame.
Paul Pabst
Wow.
Dan Patrick
What a killer.
Paul Pabst
Well, it's a lot of guys who get shot out of a cannon and then all of a sudden how long do you stay in the air? Odell Beckham Jr. The third is not going to the hall of Fame. He's not.
Dan Patrick
Neither has been Coats.
Paul Pabst
Or Ben Watson. Was that was he played forever?
Dan Patrick
Yes.
Paul Pabst
He might still be playing.
Marvin
Yep.
Paul Pabst
It felt like he was around for 20 years. There's a bunch of great college titans. Jermaine Grisham I thought was going to.
Dan Patrick
Like change the game. He's out of Oklahoma.
Paul Pabst
Yeah.
Dan Patrick
And never really did.
Paul Pabst
He went to the Bengals.
Marvin
He did.
Paul Pabst
Yeah. Who was, who was the guy with the Saints? Jimmy Graham. I thought Jimmy Graham was going to change the position. I did. Vernon Davis. Vernon Davis was great too. But I thought Jimmy Graham is like guy that big basketball player, just throw it up. He's going to dominate it. Just I don't care how big you are. Like you get tired of getting hit, you know. He was a big target and he got pounded. Yes. Mark, you want to get paid as a wide receiver? Yes, he contract talks. Yes, he did. Yes, he did.

Congratulations to CBS Sports and Sony Electronics for their first place wins for innovation in industry at this year's unconventional awards by T Mobile for Business. In a collaboration that was clearly built on breaking new ground, CBS and Sony created a first of its kind broadcast for the PGA Championship. Using a custom built T Mobile Private 5G network to power the live production, they deployed a 5G wireless camera system throughout the event. The network speed combined with Sony's innovative ultra low latency video codec allowed for seamless, high quality footage without disruption. With that innovative approach, CBS gave broadcasters the tools they need to do what they do best. Take their coverage to entirely new places. These innovations will shape the way live sports are covered moving forward. And for that, T Mobile congratulates Sony and CBS for their unconventional thinking. UNLV will face cow at the Art of Sport LA bowl hosted by Gronk at SoFi. That'll be Wednesday, December 18th at 9 Eastern. The four time Super bowl champ joining us on the program. Who calls you Rob?
Marvin
Hey Dan. How you doing? Danny? Dan. Dan. Danielle. I don't know what your name is either. We got all different types of names.
Paul Pabst
I don't have a nickname but who calls you Rob?
Marvin
So like my close friends call me Rob. My my family members call me Rob. Like, and that. And that's basically all. I'm basically known as Gronk to a lot of my teammates, a lot of my team teammates, depending on how they refer to me as. Like, if Julian's referring to me as like the football player, he calls me Gronk. And. But like, if we're hanging out and we're just chilling and it's just awesome, it's more personal. He calls me Rob, you know, but, yeah, that's. That goes with a lot of teammates as well. So basically my family, personal situations with teammates, and my close friends growing up, you know, basically my friends from Buffalo, they call me Rob. Other than that, it's Gronk. And I, I love it, man. I, I love the name Gronk. And here's a little story too with it, is that my other brother, Dan, he's my. He's the second oldest brother in my family. He was nicknamed Gronk his whole entire life, all the way up until he got into the NFL. And then I took it over because I'm a big shot like that.
Paul Pabst
Did you want to play for Buffalo when you were growing up?
Marvin
When I was growing up As a kid, I 100 did want to play for Buffalo. That was the team. I mean, I was a Buffalo Bills fan. I love Eric Molds Tequila Spikes. That era right there was the era where I was really into it. We were really passionate fans, like, you see now with Bill's Mafia, because we were just so busy with, with my, with everything going on with my family, how I had four brothers, so we didn't really get to get to too many games, but we were Buffalo Bills fans just overall as a whole and definitely always dreamed of playing for them, but I think it worked out for the better when they passed on me twice. And I always used it as motivation as well. Like, I pretend like it. I'm, you know, I was really pissed that they didn't take me, but deep down I kind of knew that when I got drafted to the New England Patriots, that it was a way better situation at the time. The moment when I really wanted to play for the Buffalo Bills, I would say if I had a chance to, would have been the last four years, you know, of the last four years. So when I was in Tampa, Buffalo Bills, they were legit. And then after I was done in Tampa as well, over the last three years, you know, I had a couple thoughts, hey, how cool would that be to play for the Bills? I actually talked to them at one point before I went, you know, back to Tampa Bay for my second year just because, you know, they have a solid team. Josh Allen, just how cool would that be to play one year? Getting drafted there wouldn't have been cool because I got drafted to an unbelievable situation, but to play a year with Josh Allen would have been really cool, but unfortunately just didn't happen.
Paul Pabst
Okay, explain the situation where Joe Burrow is trying to recruit you to Cincinnati. And did you. Did you know that that was Joe Burrow actually trying to recruit you?
Marvin
All right, all right. So that story kind of went big recently. So here's what happened. I got duped, like, five years ago. Actually, when not five years ago, however long it was, when Malcolm Brown got drafted first round to the New England Patriots, he texted me, and then I texted him back, and then it was a fake number, and that's what I talked about. And then I told myself, hey, I'll never respond to fake numbers anymore or random numbers that I don't know, because I was getting a lot of them. So then after my second year playing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, I've got asked plenty of questions, like, when you're doing media stuff, you know, you go to media row, all that, wherever it was, hey, what young quarterback would you love to play for if you could play, if you could play with. And I was like, joe Burrow, he reminds me of Tom Brady. I watched him in the national championship game at lsu. And just the way that he stays in the pocket, the way he goes through all his reads, just the way that he presents and carries himself, I really think that would be cool to play with him. That's my young buck quarterback that I feel like I would drive. It blew up everywhere. Like, I wanted to go to the Cincinnati Bengals, and this was right after I retired from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So then we fast forward. We're at the White Party, and we talked about this on my podcast, Dudes on Dudes. But we're going to recap it right now, my new podcast that I host with Julian. So check us out for plenty of stories as well. But we. We go back, we're at the White Party, and there's Joe Burrow. I never met him in my life. And we just chat real quick. He's like, yo. Because he texted me right after I said all that about him in. In Cincinnati. I wanted to play with him. And that's when I didn't text him back because I didn't believe it. I didn't want to get duped again. So I see him at the White Party. We're hanging out, talking. He's like, yo, Gronk, I texted you, bro, just along those lines. And I was in.
Paul Pabst
My.
Marvin
My eye shot up. I kind of got embarrassed because, like, I would have text him back if I knew 100%, because I'm a big fan. I really am. And I was like, no way, bro. That was you. He's like, yeah, man, you ghosted me. Just. It was just along those lines. And, like, I kind of felt bad because, like, I wanted to respond to Joe Burrow. I mean, he cool, dude. And I just told him I was, hey, it's probably a good thing I didn't. He's like, yo, man, I could have used you. And I was like, no, when I'm retired, trust me, you don't want me out there on the field. You would. It would have only brought your play down, buddy. So that's how it went down, man. And he's cool. Cool dude.
Paul Pabst
And that's all we're talking to. Gronk, how often, like, I gotta believe your personality with Bill Belichick. Were there times when he, like, would scold you at being a goofball?
Marvin
I would say my. Just a few times. Because here's the thing. If you show up and you ball out and you perform and you're consistent with balling out and performing, Coach Belichick is going to let you do whatever you want to do, you know, as long as you ain't getting in trouble and all that. Like, if you're having fun but you're balling out, he lets you do what you do. But if you're. If you're doing all that other nonsense, tweeting nonstop, being causing controversy, controversy and not balling and having all this extra activity going on, yeah, he's going to get on your case. So it was a good thing that he was barely on my case because I was balling, Dan. I was balling my second year in the league. I was balling my rookie year, in a way, my third year, all that good stuff. But every once in a while, he would get on my case. And it was just funny, though. He would get the whole team laughing that he's yelling at me about something that I did. Stupid. But it was straightening me up and it would button me up to, you know, he was just letting me know, hey, you better clean up the app before it gets out of control. Just along those lines, but nothing too serious.
Paul Pabst
Can you see him coaching a college team? Could you see him coaching at North Carolina?
Marvin
I mean, I can tell you this Coach Belichick is the best coach, hands down in the game of football. He has more knowledge than anyone I've ever talked to and just more knowledge of the game, just inside and out. He knows everything, the playbook, rule book, you name it. This guy, special teams, offense, defense, this guy knows it all. And he would be a great coach at the University of North Carolina. My only question is, how would he do? Because when you're a head coach in college, it's kind of like not really being a head coach. It's not about all football from my understanding and meeting head coaches in college and seeing what they do, it's more about managing the program and also managing these kids and recruiting them. I can't see Coach Belichick, you know, being all in, in that situation, coaching wise, 100% on the field, getting these players ready for the NFL. That's what he would do. But hey, when it comes to recruiting, I think that's the question mark and that's really up to him. If he, if he can see himself doing that, which me personally, I can see him getting tired and old with all that transfer portal nil stuff going on.
Paul Pabst
What if he said, would you be my tight ends coach?
Marvin
Oh, man, I'm not into the coaching world, Dan. You know, I really love what I'm doing. Analysts with Fox on the pregame kickoff show, that's going so well. Coaching is just not in my forte. You know, I love the game of football, but you know, that's just not me. I can see myself coaching though. Like if I have a kid one day, like, like my brothers have kids, I go to their game, just give them a tip or so and watch them do it. Like I can see myself doing like Little League and stuff like that, but not no coach in college or NFL.
Paul Pabst
The bowl game, second consecutive year, you're hosting this bowl game, the art of sport. LA bowl hosted by Gronk at SoFi. Wednesday, December 18 at 9 Eastern. How did you get involved? Like, what, what is your goal with this bowl game?
Marvin
You know, it's just to expand, you know, my family name, that's for sure. You know, keep it in the, in the helm of the football world, which 100% it's doing, and you know, just go out there, motivate kids as well. You know, keep the name on a positive track. And just to stay in the football world is really cool because I actually played in this bowl game as well as the first ball game that Arizona went to in 10 years when I was at the University of Arizona, and it was actually called the Vegas bowl at the time, but it was the same exact conference matchup as it is now. And then it got moved to the LA bowl in Los Angeles in 2020. So it's just a cool atmosphere, you know, my goal is to bring energy to the crowd, to bring energy to the teams. All that good stuff. Like last year I sang the national anthem, I did a couple other antics. It wasn't that great, but at least I had, you know, a chorus with me. I had four others as well with me, so it made me sound decent, you know, made me sound sound all right. I also raised the Boise State mascot last year, which was a dog, and I beat the dog, and the dog only lost one at a time, you know, in its life. So just doing that type of cool things, bringing the Gronk effect to the game, and that's what it's all about, just gronking it up and having my friends, former teammates, former college teammates there, my family. So it's just a good experience and great atmosphere.
Paul Pabst
You getting married soon?
Marvin
Oh, man, that's a great question right there, my man. I mean, I'm.
Paul Pabst
We're getting close to the holidays.
Marvin
Yes. You know, I'm with my. I've been with my girl for quite some time now. She's wonderful. She's the best. We totally understand each other's schedules. You know, when I'm on the road, she's on the road. Sometimes she goes with me, sometimes we bring the dog, sometimes she stays back. We have it down to science, that's for sure. We basically already are. I mean, we act like we are, but, you know, we're gonna. Might have to move into the future step coming up soon, man.
Paul Pabst
Okay, all right. Just saying around the holidays that, that sometimes you get a little pressure.

Podcast Summary: The Best of The Dan Patrick Show
Podcast Information
In this special episode titled "The Best of The Dan Patrick Show," host Dan Patrick, alongside co-hosts Paul Pabst, Marvin, and Seton O'Connor, delve into a series of engaging discussions centered around recent NFL games, quarterback performances, and the dynamics of college football playoffs. The episode also features an exclusive interview with NFL superstar Rob Gronkowski, adding a personal touch to the analysis.
Paul Pabst kicks off the segment with an in-depth analysis of the recent matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Dallas Cowboys, where the Bengals secured a victory with a score of 27-20.
He discusses the Cowboys' struggles, highlighting issues such as inconsistent performance despite veteran leadership from quarterback Dak Prescott. The conversation also touches on the potential return of head coach Mike McCarthy, emphasizing Jerry Jones' loyalty to him despite recent setbacks.
Marvin (05:18) adds his perspective, acknowledging the tough position the team finds itself in mid-season with only seven losses entering the latter part of the year.
Dan Patrick introduces a poll question aimed at gauging listeners' opinions on which quarterback is least likely to secure a Super Bowl title.
The discussion features prominent quarterbacks such as Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Brock Purdy, Justin Herbert, and Jalen Hurts. The hosts debate the strengths and weaknesses of each, considering factors like team performance, individual consistency, and defensive support.
Paul Pabst (07:24): "Brock Purdy, when he plays really, really well, is better than Jalen Hurts. When Jalen Hurts plays really, really well..."
Dan Patrick (10:36): "It feels like the Eagles could win a Super Bowl with Hertz playing B level football. They almost did it already."
A comparative analysis between Jalen Hurts and Troy Aikman ensues, drawing parallels between Hurts' current performance and Aikman's legacy.
Dan Patrick (10:36): "Feels like the Eagles could win a Super Bowl with Hurts playing B level football."
Paul Pabst (10:55): "Jalen Hurts gives you the element of running. Brock Purdy does run, but Brock Purdy, when everybody's playing, that's when he plays really, really well."
The conversation underscores the importance of consistency and versatility in quarterbacks, highlighting how Hurts' dual-threat capabilities could influence his team's success.
The hosts shift focus to college football, discussing the intricacies of the playoff structure and the challenges teams face in securing postseason spots.
They explore the potential for reseeding teams post-first-round games, debating the logistical hurdles and the feasibility of such changes.

Further into the conversation, Gronk reflects on his interactions with current NFL stars and his playful yet earnest approach to football.
He also delves into his personal life, discussing his nickname origins and his relationship dynamics.
The episode touches upon the rarity of rookie tight ends making first-team All-Pro, highlighting historical precedents and current performances.
Dan Patrick (32:33): "And that's a specialized position, you know, tight end. It's just you're a glorified wide receiver."
Paul Pabst (33:00): "I have Sam Laporta as second team all pro last year."
This segment provides insights into player development and the evolving role of tight ends in the NFL.
Wrapping up the episode, Dan Patrick and his co-hosts reflect on the discussions, emphasizing the dynamic nature of both NFL and college football. The episode offers listeners a comprehensive analysis of current sports trends, player performances, and the future of playoff structures, all enriched by personal stories and expert opinions.

Paul Pabst (07:24): "Brock Purdy, when he plays really, really well, is better than Jalen Hurts. When Jalen Hurts plays really, really well..."
Dan Patrick (10:36): "It feels like the Eagles could win a Super Bowl with Hurts playing B level football. They almost did it already."
