I'm Manny. I'm Noah. This is Devin. And we're best friends and journalists with a new podcast called no Such Thing where we get to the bottom of questions like that. Why are you screaming? I can't expect what to do now. If the rule was the same, go off on me. I deserve it, you know. Lock him up. Listen to no Such thing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. No Such Thing. When I became a journalist, I was the first Latina in the newsrooms where I worked.

Let's talk legacy tech and generational wealth. I had the skill and I had the talent. I didn't have the opportunity. Yeah, we all know, right? Genius is evenly distributed. Opportunity is not. To hear this and more on the power of black innovation and ownership, listen to black tech, Green money from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts, I'm Simone Boyce, host of the Bright side Podcast, and on this week's episode, I'm talking to Olympian World cup champion and podcast host Ashlyn Harris. My worth is not wrapped up in how many things I've won, because what I came to realize is I valued winning so much that once it was over, I got the blues. And I was like, this is it for me. It's the pursuit of greatness. It's the journey, it's the people, it's the failures, it's the heartache. Listen to the bright side on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. Made it to a Thursday. It's hour one. Gangs all here. Our starting five, Fritzi Seaton, Marv, Paulie, yours truly, and of course the back room guys. A lot of topics to dive into. 877 3DP show if you'd like to dial us up. Operator Tyler sitting by as he does very, very well. And we say good morning if you're watching on Peacock. That's our streaming partner. Thank you for downloading the app. Watching some baseball last night and I've been watching a lot of the Yankees because the Yankees are on a terror now. You can hit home runs during the regular season. You can overwhelm teams during the regular season. This is about postseason success. And I'm watching the Yankees and I'm going, all right, that's a lot of home runs that they've hit. They've hit 14 home runs in the last two games. That's a staggering amount. But this lineup has been very good. They lead baseball, scoring over five runs per game as the calendar creeps to September and dips into October. This is about pitching. And the Yankees have the 16th best team ERA. Now, they lost Garrett Cole before the season even started. But six months, you can have an elite lineup and bludgeon your way to some success, get a playoff berth. But if you're going to win a World Series, it's going to be about pitching come September and certainly October. Speaking of pitching, Shohei Ohtani, he got roughed up his first career start at Coors Field. He gave up 5 runs, 9 hits in 4 innings. Also took a comebacker off the leg. He did have a double and a walk to extend his on base streak to 18 games. Oh, wow. Wow. Okay. The Padres aren't going away. They're kind of hanging there. Game behind. Is that our first overrated for Shohei Ohtani. Won't be our last either, I'll tell you that. Whoa. What the heck is going on this morning? Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of this program. And for over 40 years, Tire Rack's been helping you find the right tires for how and what and where you drive. Ship fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection, convenient installation options. Tirek.com the way tire Buying should be. We had Mark Pryor on yesterday. He's the Dodgers pitching coach. When we talked about Shohei Ohtani because they're trying to give him more innings and I'm watching the game and he was getting roughed up and they kept him out there. Get a few more pitches, few more innings, and then they finally took him out. But Pryor said that there could be a possibility of a relief appearance or for Shohei Ohtani come postseason time. That that is being considered by the Dodgers. You look at him as a starting pitcher. Plus, here's the thing with being a closer. If you're going to be in the field, how are you going to warm up? It's almost as if you're a DH now you can go warm up, but you don't want Shohei Otani warming up and then not getting into the game because closers will tell you nothing worse. Then you think you're going to go. You, you get warmed up. Skip says go out there, start throwing and then you don't get in the game. Can't do that with Ohtani. But as far as the starting pitching, he looked pedestrian last night against Colorado, the new and improved Rockies. But just some of the baseball that I saw last night.
C
Yes, Paul, I was thinking about this, that Ohtani is going to win the MVP going away this year. Even though his numbers are quite a bit down hitting from last year. I mean, he had 59 steals last year. He's down to 17. His homers are a little down, his batting average is a bit down. But it's like his aura is going to win him these things. The, the options the Dodgers have with him to close start, play him, not play him. It's like he's bigger than anyone else, clearly.
A
Well, he doesn't have competition. Kyle Schwaber is pretty much one dimensional. But I do think he should be in the race. I mean, he is in the race. He's in second place. But I was curious Ohtani getting roughed up, what that meant for the draft kings odds for Ohtani. So he was minus 8000 yesterday to win the MVP. Now it's minus 6000. So he went down 2000 points. Kyle Schwaber was plus 1300 yesterday. He's plus 900. The race is really in the American League with Aaron Judge -200 and Cal Raleigh is hanging in there. I think Raleigh's got to hit 60 home runs, at least 60 home runs. And if he does and you're a playoff team, then maybe he could win the mvp. But we Might see this happening for the next couple of years with Otani and Aaron Judge and the PGA Tour Championship. Scotty Scheffler is the overwhelming favorite starting today. This is. This is Tiger. Like, okay, I'm not saying he's playing like Tiger or, you know, he is Tiger, the second coming of Tiger. But how big of a favorite? That's tiger. Like, he's plus 150. Rory McElroy is plus 850. That's the second best odds. This is Tiger, like, college football. This weekend, it's week zero. Iowa State, K State in Dublin. I got Iowa State getting three. I'm curious about Stanford at Hawaii, believe it or not.
C
Yeah, you are Stanford.
A
Stanford getting two and a half at Hawaii. Fresno State at Kansas. I'm mildly curious about that. Fresno State getting 12 and a half at KU. See, these are games that I love. These are the. Nobody loves us, nobody cares about us, Nobody respects us. And they'd be right. But I do. I love watching these games, especially early in the season. And maybe it's just I take any football. But here we are, two days away until college football, and we're inching closer to the opening of the NFL. And speaking of the NFL, we've spoken about this before, but now you have the possibility of having a discussion of maybe having the super bowl played in London. Now, London wants this, okay? The UK ambassador, Peter Mandelson, lobbies for the super bowl to be held in Britain. He's the US Ambassador, and he's lobbying for the first super bowl outside of the United States. Okay, I. This is how these things get started. Now, if the commissioner, if somebody has an opportunity to talk to him and say, hey, what did you think of the UK ambassador talking about a Super Bowl? The commissioner will say the following. Oh, you know what? We've considered everything, the growth of the sport, and we play so many games. Now, the international, you know, part portion of this, and, you know, it's something that we'll take into consideration. But as for now, we have the super bowl and we have, you know, cities that are locked in over the next X number of years. I mean, but he will address it. I don't know if he would give you a no comment. If he gave you no comment. Well, now I'm really interested, but you might get some political speak from the commissioner. But I think it's inevitable. And I don't know if there's any of us who will turn it off or not tune in, because it's not in the United States. Now, you might have A, you know, that anti American sentiment and, you know, what are we doing? And that's our sport. Well, we shipped out baseball opening day. I don't know if anybody was enraged by that except for me. The NBA is expanding. Maybe there's a European portion of this, but I think you're every. Every sport's looking for growth, even golf now. You know, golf just hired Tiger Woods, Theo Epstein. They're trying to look at the future of the sport, and they're promising there's big changes there, but Tiger was named to a committee that's basically about the future of the sport. And they promise big changes. And I don't know what those big changes could be, but every sport is looking for more revenue. How do we grow the game? And there's going to be a separate TV package for the international game. So the NFL is going to sell that offer, you know, a billion dollars, because now they have more revenue. We've added another game now they'll add another game after that, and then you're going to have maybe more international games. But I think this is just inevitable with the growth of the game. Baseball. Baseball's talking about expansion. Maybe four new teams in here. Maybe they're going to have realignment. Maybe we don't have an American League, International League. And I know if you're of my age or anybody over 50, you're probably saying, he's ruining the sport. They're going to ruin the sport. All of these commissioners know where is the next piece of revenue because they have to beholden. They're beholden to the owners because the owners are saying, we got to make more money. Got to make more money. College football, we. We're at 12 now. We'll go to 14 or 16. And now you have at least the possibility proposals on the table of going to 24, 28, March Madness, 68. Well, you got to go to 72 or 76 every one of these sports. It's about the growth. How do we grow it, how do we make more money? And that's happening right now, happening right now with baseball, happening right now with the NBA, happening right now with the NFL. And golf is trying to grow the sport again. And you have the competition with Live Tour. And now Tiger's involved in this. Theo Epstein, who's a baseball gm, I mean, he's involved in this. And maybe there is something that they'll do that I don't know what could be drastic. I think, you know, maybe the number of events. I like relegation, I. But, you know, relegation, they have relegation on live tour. And Ian Poulter, I think, just got relegated. Why? I know that I don't know. I have no life. But I think that's the interesting part of watching what they're trying to do and not. You can't stay stagnant. There's some things this baseball commissioner has done that I think are positive. I, I think that he's, he earned criticism with talking about the World Series trophy was just a piece of metal when talking about the Astros. That was stupid. Um, the Pete Rose portion of putting him on the ballot or making him eligible, that came from pressure from President Trump. Uh, Roger Goodell, he's a businessman. It's growth of the game. It, it's not necessarily for the betterment of the game, but I don't think anybody's gonna tune out the super bowl if it's played in London. But I, I do think we're going there. I don't know when, maybe it's 10 years, but maybe in our lifetime we're going to have a Super bowl outside the United States. Yes. Todd, is there anything that these Leafs can do, you know, while they're chasing.
B
The next dollar and the greed and.
A
The revenue that would really turn the sports fan off. They may not love it, but ultimately.
B
If you like sports, you're going to watch.
A
If there's extra college basketball teams in the tournament, if there's extra college football teams in the playoffs, is there really anything that they can do where it's like, wow, that's too much. No, thanks, I'm not watching this anymore. Well, I wondered about this, and this is not on the par of this, obviously, but when we were doing SportsCenter and I remember my boss at the time, Steve Bornstein, he said, we're going to re air SportsCenter all morning long. And I thought, that's stupid. And then all of a sudden I realized there was a whole generation that wasn't able to stay up at 11 o' clock or, you know, one o' clock in the morning. They got to watch that in the morning. And you guys are probably the demo that we appealed to. You got to have SportsCenter re airing starting at 6 in the morning and went all morning long and it would be the same sports center, but there you were catering to an audience that was missing out on staying up and watching all the highlights. And it turned out to be a brilliant move. But I don't know if can you get too much football? Mark Cuban talked about this. Was it pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered. And we haven't found that yet. We haven't found that you can be. You'll push yourself away from the sports buffet. Yeah.
C
Paul, I will say there's one thing the fans are having and going to have a problem with this upcoming year with football. If you want to watch all the NFL games, like four or five years ago, if you got the red zone package, you could watch everything. One check, 200 bucks, that's it. You're set for the season. Now you need Netflix, Peacock, Amazon prime, your basic cable channel for your local. You're getting to. You need like seven different packages or subscriptions to watch all the NFL games. And it's, it's, it's a labor to order all those and sign up for those. And it's costly. You're getting to the point. I, I did some research on this. If you want to watch all the NFL games this season, it's probably going to cost you 800 plus dollars in subscriptions. And four years ago, I would say it was about 199.
A
Five years, which is still expensive as hell. 199, but worth it. But it's, it's not nearly $1,000.
B
Yeah.
C
Back when DirecTV had the red zone and you could sign up for DirecTV's red zone, you got the red zone where you chopped up all the games, but then the. You could choose which game you go to. Now you're looking at 800 bucks for the entire season plus to get every package.
A
And it's not going down, by the way. It's not going to be. Hey, they're going to reduce this. Hey, loyal fans, we're going to give you a break, a bargain here. Yes, it's not unlike trying to watch soccer where, you know, Peacock has the Premier League, Apple has mls, Paramount has usl, Fubo has the French League, ESPN has the Spanish league. Now at least those are. That's worldwide. You're trying to get all these things. This is one, what Paul is referring to is one league in one country. I know. Yes, yes, Todd, but you have to believe they've done or they're doing some type of research in the NFL offices. What is the absolute most we can charge these people along with the networks where they'll still keep paying so we.
B
Don'T hit that spot where we're gonna.
A
Lose viewership, we're gonna lose dollars. They gotta push it to the last possible center that we're willing to spend. Why wouldn't they? Well, maybe if the commissioner comes on the show, I can ask him such questions. Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick show, weekdays at.

This is Devin. And on our new show, no Such Thing, we get to the bottom of questions like these. Join us as we talk to the leading expert on overconfidence. Those who lack expertise lack the expertise they need to recognize that they lack expertise. And then as we try the whole thing out for real. Wait, what? Oh, that's the Runway. I'm looking at this thing. See? Listen to no such thing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, I'm John Lithgow. We choose to go to the moon. I want to tell you about my new fiction podcast, that's One Small Step for Man. It's about Buzz Aldrin, one of the true pioneers of spirit. You're a great pilot, Buzz. As far as I'm concerned, the best I've seen. That's the story you think you know. This is the story you don't predisposition to depression, alcohol abuse and suicide. We'll see Buzz try to overcome demons. What do you say, Buzz? Another beer. And triumph over addiction. Here's to you, Buzz Aldrin. Good luck to you and become a true hero. Buzz and I will proceed into the lunar module not because he conquered space, but because he conquers himself.
B
Buzz, we intercepted a Soviet radio transmission.
A
Starring me, John Lithgow.
B
Can you put it through Translate on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever.
A
You get your podcasts. USA Today did a breakdown on the NFL 2025 viewing plan. Now, this is as low as you can get. This is as streamlined as you could get. But CBS, Fox, NBC, ABC, one average over the air antennas, $40. CBS, Fox, NBC, ABC,. A standard Sunday Ticket annual subscription 379 and then a monthly base subscription, you pay four times to YouTube, that's $73. So that's a total of $671. Netflix, their Christmas games, that's a one time fee of $8. Amazon Prime Thursday night standard monthly fee of $36, you have to pay that four times. Peacock exclusive games, that's a premium monthly subscription, $8. But you also get the Dan Patrick Show. With that bonus, you're looking at Monday Night Football, a monthly subscription to ESPN plus, that's four times that you pay $12. ESPN Direct streaming service or monthly subscription or a bundle in there. And it's around 800 to almost $900. Five years ago it was 250. So when you see these TV deals and you go, oh, that's awesome. Well, you're helping pay for those TV deals. Yes, Paulie.
C
And places like Netflix, Amazon and Peacock, they're all in on these NFL standalone games, like a playoff game for $110 million Peacock paid or Netflix or Amazon. But their goal is to get you to sign up for the Netflix, Amazon and Peacock and not cancel. Because most people don't cancel. They're either lazy or they're not minding the eight bucks a month and they just keep going and going. And that one 10 million that they spend on the game, they get back three times.
A
Well, it's like I signed up for Hulu to watch the Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, that morning show that, that series they had.
C
Understandable.
A
That was it. That's all I've ever watched on Hulu, I think, was Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. Well, Jennifer Aniston, yeah, you do sign up for these things. Then all of a sudden you go, did I pay? Am I paying for this? Yes, you are. And sometimes I don't even know anymore. It'll be like, okay, that's where sometimes my wife will go, you know, we are paying for this. I'll go, yeah, yeah. Like I act like I know what I'm paying for. It's just. But it does add up if you want to watch everything. But I don't know what that means if, if you're an average fan, do you go, I'm not going to sign up for Amazon Prime. I'm not going to sign up for Peacock. I'm not going to do that, you know, or I just want to. I want them to make it easier if, if I watch one of these Thursday night games, I don't want it to be so difficult to get into it. And then if I want to get out of it, then go back into it. That's my biggest, you know, beef with them. Yeah.
C
Paulie, they're banking on. I'm reading some stories from Sports Business Journal, and the bank is if your team is in a playoff game and it's on Peacock or it's on Amazon or whatever it may be, you're shelling out. You're not going to sit at home and miss your team in a random playoff game. Let's say you're a Arizona Cardinals fan and you sneak into the playoffs and that game is on Netflix. You're ordering Netflix.
A
Yeah. And then you're keeping. Keeping Netflix, but chances are you probably already have Netflix. So you could watch Happy Gilmore, too. Yes.
C
In the same story from the Sports Business Journal, they said that sports are bigger for Netflix, Amazon and Peacock because movies don't churn and go. There's not fresh movies and TV shows and streaming as much as there's fresh sports. And sports might be the bigger play for these subscription services.
A
I was teasing before we went to commercial break, Urban Meyer, who's an analyst for Fox, their high noon kickoff, big noon kickoff, and he thinks the NFL should suspend Jim Harbaugh. Here is Urban Meyer. There's an elephant in the room here, boys, though, that no one's talking about. When Jim Trestle was fired at Ohio State and he was given a suspension, Roger Goodell, commissioner of National Football League, came out and said that we're going to honor that violate. They're going to honor that suspension. And you remember he went to the Indianapolis Colts to work in the replay room or something, the Colts, because the respect they had for the NCAA and the suspension, do you realize, suspended Jim Trestle so he was unable to perform his duties for the first six games of the year for the Indianapolis Colts. I think we all know the answer. Yeah. Any chance that Roger Goodell and the NFL. Of course not. Okay. And he's right. That happened in 2011. That was on the triple option podcast. But now the first thing you're going to think of is, well, that's a former Ohio State coach talking about a Michigan coach. But he is correct. And remember Terrell Pryor, they were involved in the tattoo gate where they were trading in some of their Ohio State gear to get tattoos. I don't think Roger Goodell is going to address this. I mean, he should address it, but right now there's no comment from the NFL. But are there is precedent and they created precedent now what do you do they at least have to announce that they're not, they're not suspending Jim Harbaugh. And here's why. I think you owe that to what happened to Terrell Pryor and Jim Trestle. And granted, it seems like it was eons ago, it was 2011, but you did establish, establish precedence. Yeah, Paulie. Yeah.
C
Urban Meyer does have his facts right on this. This was 2011. Roger Goodell said he agreed with the Colts decision to suspend Jim Trestle for the first six games as a replay assistant, not like a head coach or an assistant coach. And he was followed up by asking, would you guys have suspended him if the Colts didn't? He said basically yes. And he agreed that it's part of the NFL's policy to enforce NCA rules.
A
Well, he got a 10 year show. Cause what exactly does that mean? Because Jim Trestle lost his job at Ohio State and then the cold tired him to be. He was, he kind of worked in their replay room. He was a replay assistant. And, and he got fired or he got suspended for six games after getting five fired at Ohio State. But I would like, if, you know, the commissioner is in front of the media or he's on a radio show, TV show to just ask, just say, hey, Urban Meyer brought this up and there is precedent. Will Jim Harbaugh be suspended? And there might be language here and you know, that they can, they can get around this because he, he wasn't suspended when he was suspended at Michigan, but for this, he's not still there and then leaving to go to the NFL. He left before the penalties in, you know, were handed down. Yes.
B
Todd getting a little itch to send a little note to the NFL.
A
What do you think? No, no, no. It doesn't matter anymore.
B
What?
A
What do you mean it doesn't matter? It's a better, it's a better story if the commissioner doesn't come on. I mean, we've gone down this road for 10 years now. I mean, we can get a maybe a response to the story. There we go. How about that?
B
That seems reasonable.
A
Hate to bother you. We're not asking for the commissioner. Could you give us a comment from the league office on what Urban Meyer had to say about suspending Jim Harbaugh? But, you know, do it in your flowery way and be very nice. We always play nice. Yeah, of course you do.
C
Yes, Paul, historically, Todd has always received an answer to his emails, no matter how out of place the question may be. I think we're gonna get non Response on this one.
A
Oh, you think they go radio silent?
C
I would if I were them. I'd go radio silent on this one.
B
We're just getting ready for this season. Thank you, Todd. Appreciate you.
C
Does that count as a response?
A
We're on to week one. We're. We're on to Cowboys, Eagles. Yeah. Yeah. Well, Urban Meyer's correct. I just hope that people don't look at this from a Ohio State vs. Michigan angle and look at it as Urban is telling you what happened in 2011. Is that applicable to Jim Harbaugh and should he be suspended? I'd just like to hear what, whatever language they use or whatever they're drawing up. I'm, I'm curious about that. All right, let's play. You know what? I was going to play the backup quarterback game, but I want to, I want to wait. I need a little more time here because we had a moment yesterday where a backup quarterback was very emotional. And we'll have that for you. Coming up, a seat and poll question today. What do we have? So happy that you asked, Dan, because if I had a dime for every time we did this poll question, I'd be retired by now. This one's from Paul. Whose career would you rather have, Chase Daniel or Isaiah Pacheco? Whose career would you rather have, Chase Daniel or Isaiah Pacheco? How many times are we going to do this topic?
C
This old one.
A
You're right. Feels like once a season, recycling content. I know it's summer, but this is ridiculous.
C
Yes, yes, Paul, here's the rationale on this one. Chase Daniel was a pure backup quarterback for 13 years in the NFL. He started only five games. He never played, you know, in a big time playoff game, led a Super bowl, whatever it may be. Right. He made $40 million doing that. Okay. Isaiah Pacheco is a starting NFL running back going into his fourth year. He's played in two Super Bowls. He was important to those super bowl runs and super bowl wins. He's made less than $3 million in his three years in the NFL. And my guess is it's going to be tough for him to get a big second contract. He probably will make 10, 11, $12 million if all goes well in his NFL career. Based off that, whose career would you want?
A
Isaiah Pacheco. Like I want to play. I mean, Chase Daniel was so close to playing. He didn't get in. He's as close as you can be, but he never got in five games in his career. And, you know, he proved to be a great backup quarterback. Because he always had a job for whatever, 13, 14 years. Isaiah Pacheco got to play in Super Bowls. Yeah, he was. He was ex. You know, extremely valuable to the Chiefs. So I would say Isaiah Pacheco. Okay. If you factor in the money, which. That's what you're doing, I understand why you would say, I'll take Chase Daniel. Probably going to. Lived to be a hundred, doesn't have any aches or pains, I'm going to guess. And Isaiah Pacheco may play football for three more years. Does anybody side with me with Isaiah Pacheco? Marvin? Heck, no. Okay. You want the 40 million and a backup quarterback? Absolutely. Okay. Todd. More money, less concussions, less wobbling around.
B
The rest of my life with knee and shoulder issues.
A
Yeah.
B
I'm going to take a Chase.
A
Okay, Seaton. Not even for a second. I'm taking $40 million. Okay. All right. Okay. All right.
C
Paul, this is really tough because I side with you on. You want to play and be a factor and feel like he contributed to titles. Two titles and counting. The wear and tear and the lack of money are too overwhelming in Chase Daniel's favor. I would want to be Chase Daniel.
A
Okay. All right. Well, then maybe it wasn't a good poll question.
C
Is a great poll question.
A
No. Because you guys were all in agreement there. Yeah. Seaton. Well, if you look right, I don't. I don't know if this evens it out at all, but Aaron Jones, formerly of the packers, currently of the Vikings, he's made about the same amount of money as Chase Daniel. Okay. They're both at about 40 something million dollars. Yeah. But I want to play in a Super Bowl. Win a Super Bowl. Aaron Jones had a good career in Green Bay and got his money. I mean, Pacheco won two Super Bowls. That's pretty good. Maybe gets another one. I don't know if you'll get a, you know, a bigger contract. Yes. Marvin, how much money do those rings equal out to? $20 million a piece. Therefore, it's even. Yes. He's gonna have a ton of awesome stories for when he retires and starts going to work his 9 to 5. It'd be like. Yeah. So I remember anyway, when I was in the Super Bowl. The second one. No, that's the first one. That was the first one. Anyway, what are you guys doing for lunch? You want to go over to the Calf? Yeah. His friends get together with him and Isaiah comes in. They're like, oh, God, here comes the superstar. Hey, Isaiah, how are you? Hey, guys. Did I tell you of that first soup. No second Super Bowl. Wes in Illinois. Hi, Wes. What's on your mind today? Good morning, Dan. I just only really hit a button with me with the fragmentation of the viewing market. That's exactly what happened to me with the wnba. Became a WNBA fan last summer with a million other folks and Caitlin Clark. So I signed up immediately on YouTube for the WNBA League Pass and I got to watch every single play of Caitlin Clark all summer. Last year it was a dream. Summer made me a WNBA fan for life for certain. This year I decided, oh no, I'm going to give that money to the WNBA instead. So I went directly to their platform, signed up for the league pass. Oh, this year I have missed four or five of the Fever games because of being on platforms that aren't on YouTube.
B
TV.
A
Well, the more popular it gets, the more fragmented it gets because the NFL, they've drained NBC, CBS and ABC and Fox. Now they want to have the big time money. Netflix, Amazon, big time money. And that's why they're selling it. That, that's why we'll have, we'll have a separate TV package for international games and it'll be a bit. Another billion dollars that they bring in, if not more. Lucas in Texas. Hey, Luke, what's on your mind today?
B
Hey, Dan.
A
Good morning. Good morning. You know, hey, we are close to football season. It's glad. I'm glad to have you guys back. Nothing says everyone is dialed in quite like the boss dialing in from his vacation cabin in Maine. But I'm excited to have the team ready to go. And, you know, you're talking about NFL media and future options. You know, there's this thing called the Manning cast. Perhaps you've heard of it. And I'd like to pitch something for the Dan Patrick Show. I brought this up a few months ago and I think it's an idea worth exploring. We all know that Dan loves to go down to his basement, have a drink or two, watch a game in relative silence. I would like to have a side by side on Thursday night on NBC. This upcoming game between the Cowboys and the Eagles where Dan Patrick takes a real gamble and watches right next to Shea and Irving. A Cowboys game live and in person. Because nothing would be funnier than seeing Dan a little in his cups, maybe just silently giggling right next to a Shay that is losing his mind live and in person. What do you think? I don't think it's a bad idea if I thought I could get an audience with that. And we just did it in house where we watched the game here at the Man Cave. I don't want to have a camera down in my sanctuary in my basement, but we could do it here where we watch a cowboy game with Shea, have beverages. I could smoke my cigar. That's a possibility. I, I won't rule that out. I don't know if other danets would want to do that. I don't know if, if Shea, Shea is real. When he talks about the Cowboys, by the way, it's not an act. It's he, he gets apoplectic. You can't talk to him. It, it, it crushes him, which is great tv. It's all about content. And the worse the Cowboys play, the better content we're gonna have. Although seeing him excited when the Cowboys do well, that could be interesting. The gambling podcast. We'll have that later on today after the show. Bad Larry, Dylan and also Shay and Irving.

Albert Breer, the Monday morning quarterback, senior NFL reporter man, do I have some topics for you, Albert, Let me take away your Ohio State allegiance. And Urban Meyer came out on a podcast and said that Jim Harbaugh should be suspended, similar to what happened with Jim Trestle at Ohio State when he went to the Colts working in their video replay department. Your thoughts?
B
I thought it was dumb at the time to suspend Trestle, so I don't know that I would support suspension of Harbaugh either. At the same time, I can remember why they did it. And if you remember, it was because they suspended Terrell Prior. And what they were trying to do, what the NFL was trying to do was they didn't want the, the, the pros to be a safe haven for guys to escape punishment from the ncaa. So Terrell Pryor was going to be suspended by the ncaa. So the league said, no, this can't be, you know, an escape from for you. So we're going to levy a suspension, suspension on you the way the NCAA would have coming into the league because he was going into the supplemental draft. And then when Trestle took the job with the Colts, people were like, well, wait a minute, like you force the player to serve the suspension. So now why aren't you doing it to the coach? So I think it became one of those finger in the wind type things for the league where they heard the criticism and said, okay, like, well, we'll give the coach a suspension too. Maybe not thinking about the precedent they were setting. The interesting thing is though, I think we have had coaches in the past that have run away from the college game to the pros as a method of trying to escape punishment.
A
Right.
B
Like we've seen that in the past. I think you could argue like that was Pete Carroll. Now I think Pete would probably argue that, but a lot of people felt that way when he did it. Dennis Erickson, I think leaving Miami was sort of that way. Right. Neither of these guys, I think, I think in neither case that's what this was. You know, like Jim Trestle I think would have, would have, would have been happy dying on the job at Ohio State. You know, like I think he would have done that as long as he, that job, as long as he could. He wasn't escaping to the NFL. And I don't think Harbaugh was escaping Michigan to go to the NFL either. I think he was going to the NFL regardless. In fact, I think if he had gone to the end, if, if the Vikings had offered him the job two years earlier when Kevin o' Connell took it, I think he would have left Michigan two years earlier than he did. You know, so I don't think in either the, either the Trestle case or the Harbaugh case, it was a guy escaping, trying to escape penalty and, and finding safe harbor in the NFL. There were different motivations for it.
A
Eric Dickerson was on a radio show, Fred Rogan and Rodney Pete on AM570 and had this to say about Shador Sanders. And I'll tell you this much here. What up and what I heard from someone that's in the NFL that the NFL put it told other don't draft him, do not draft him. We're going to make him, we're going to make an example out of him. And this came from a very good source, a very good source. And he said that, I won't say who. Somebody called the Cleveland Browns and said don't do that. Really? Yep. Draft him. Don't, don't, don't do that. Because they weren't going to draft him either. They weren't going to draft him. Your thoughts, Albert?
B
Yeah, I always think these sorts of conspiracies are a little, a little overdone. I like, I don't think there was any conspiracy here. I think it's relatively simple what happened. I think the great majority of NFL teams did not view him as a first round prospect contrary to what had been out there for the year previous. And then I think what happens is once you get past the first round, you look at the history over, over the years, not a lot of quarterbacks go in the second or third rounds. It's just the reality of it like that most teams look at it like if there's a guy who's going to be our long term answer at the position, we just take him in the first round. And if a guy's not going to be your long term answer at the position, then you probably aren't going to take him in the second or third round because you're going to be looking for a long term answer at another position with those picks. So the fate of Shador Sanders, like I think he Fell out of the first round for football reasons. I think he kept falling for everything else. Right. Like for the fact that most coaches look at their backup quarterbacks and say, I want you to blend in with the furniture. I don't want to. I don't. I don't want to notice that you're even here. You know, that's the way, for better or worse, most teams approach the quarterback position, which I think to some degree short circuited the careers of guys like Tim Tebow and Colin Kaepernick. So I like. Chidor's case was complicated going into the draft, but I don't think it was that complicated where there was some sort of weird conspiracy to keep him out of the league.
A
Yeah. From what I was told by a source, he didn't interview well. He kind of came in and he was interviewing teams instead of the other way around. And you're right, he didn't have first round talent. There was nothing exceptional about him except for maybe his toughness and his pedigree. But I can't imagine all of these owners getting together and somebody saying, hey, everybody, listen, don't draft Shador Sanders. Do I think the Browns, especially when.
B
There'S somebody with the bullhorn that Dion has on the other side of it. You know what I mean? That seems like ridiculous to. To. That seems like the wrong. The wrong tree to bark up, doesn't it, Dan?
A
Yeah, it does. We're talking to Albert Beer, the Monday morning quarterback. I saw where the US Ambassador to the United Kingdom is lobbying for London to get the Super Bowl. At some point, this comes up occasionally. Yeah, I do think we're headed towards this. I don't know if it's 10 years from now, but I think the NFL can take the heat because you're still going to tune in to the Super Bowl. Where do you, like, where do you land on this story?
B
I agree that I think eventually it will happen. I think the biggest hurdle now is the television rating is such a big deal. And the NFL really does care about 70 million versus 80 million versus 100 million versus 120 million. And if you really care about that, your kickoff time does matter, you know, and so if you're holding the game in London, if it's at what would be if it was at 8 o', clock, 25.
A
Right.
B
Like, no, but if it was 8 o' clock local, then that's 3 o' clock Eastern and you can say it's the Super Bowl. Yeah. Like everybody's going to sit down and watch it. But is that really true. I mean, the super bowl is a unique one because it is so dependent on the drive by viewer. You know, that number going from in the playoffs, like 50 million to 120 million, that's not based on people like me and you, Dan, tuning in. You know what I mean? Like, we're there regardless. That's based on people who could take it or leave it. Who, like, quite literally could. Could say, like, no, I'm, I'm, I'm, you know, I go out for my walk, you know, or I go out for a hike on Sunday afternoon. So if the game's on at seven, I'm going to watch it, but if it's on at three, I'm not. So I think that's the one hurdle is like the television number, the advertising rates, all of that different stuff, like the communal aspect of the Super Bowl. But I think they would love to do it, you know, because I do think growing internationally is a huge priority of Roger Goodell's. It's a huge priority of the league offices. It's a huge priority for a lot of owners. And I think what they figured out over the years, there's a reason why they don't put preseason games over there anymore. Right. Like, they used to do that. Remember the Tokyo bowl back in the day, they used to do that. And the reason they don't. The reason they don't do that, the reason they pulled NFL Europe is they found they felt like those things don't make a dent, like you got to send them the real thing. Which I think is why they feel like now they're starting to make a dent because they're sending the real thing over overseas. And of course, there'd be nothing more impactful than putting the super bowl in another country.
A
What about a Saturday night super bowl in London and you started a little bit later?
B
Okay, so what you say, like the Londoners got to put up with a 10pm kickoff or something?
A
No, let's. Let's say kickoff is at nine.
B
So it's four in the U.S. yeah, but now you're talking about a Saturday rating versus a Sunday rating. You know more about this than I do. But isn't Sunday a much better ratings day than Saturday?
A
Yeah, but it's the super bowl and you get to.
B
It is a Super Bowl. But what I'm saying, you get to.
A
Get up on Sunday, though. You don't have to worry about Monday.
B
Right, but like, what I'm saying is that the super bowl is so dependent on. It's dependent that Rating is so dependent on people who could take it or leave it. You know what I mean? That rating, like that rating going through the roof, you know, is based on so many people that don't normally watch sitting down and watching with everybody else. And do you lose that take it or leave it viewer? If you're putting it at a less opportune time? I think that's the sort of question. I don't know. Like, maybe you don't, but I think that's the sort of question that will get batted around.
A
Did the Colts fail Anthony Richardson?
B
No. I think they gave him plenty of chances to, to, to, to seize this and to take it and to run with it. And, you know, I think it's on.
A
Them that they drafted him. He's a project. He's a project.
B
It is 100% on them that they got this wrong. Right? Like that they got the draft pick wrong. One million percent that's on them. I think part of it is what happens when you predetermine in a certain year, we're taking a quarterback regardless of who's there.
A
Right.
B
Like I think if you remember the way the year before went, Dan, like how they went to, from Matt Ryan to eventually went to Sam Ellinger and like the owner had put a lot of pressure, God rest his soul, had put a lot of pressure on a lot of people. Like, we need to stop cycling through and they had been through that whole period of, you know, locked to Brissette to Rivers, to Wentz to Ryan, and it's like, we need to stop this. We need to get a long term answer. So you predetermined we're going to take one high in the first round? Well, what happens when Bryce Young goes one, CJ Stroud goes two, and there's nobody worth taking fourth overall and you force it. Like that's how Christian Ponder goes 12th overall. Right. So, like, I think that's, that's the cautionary tale here. I don't think he was ever worth the fourth, fourth overall pick. I don't think. I think a lot of teams, I think if you'd asked most teams, they would tell you that if they were honest about it, you know, And I think this is a case of, you know, coaches in his third year where he hasn't made the playoffs yet. GMs in his ninth year and they're, they can't throw another year overboard in the name of quarterback development. Last year is an interesting stat. Last year they were 29th in total defense. They were 30th in giveaways, they feel like the defensive thing's been being solved by bringing in Luannarumo and signing guys like Cam Bynum and Jarvarius Ward. Now you got to take the, take care of the giveaway thing. And they still won eight games despite all of that last year.
A
Right.
B
You do that by being more efficient on offense. You do that by keeping the train on the tracks on offense and staying out of long yardage. And to me, that hit that Anthony Richardson took, that he got hurt on, I mean, no one wanted to see the result, but that was indicative of everything, like his awareness, his ability to process everything in front of him. It's. It's still not there. Three years in, the progress that they need to see isn't there. And so, you know, it's not. It's for the coach, for the GM or fighting for the job, and also for the other 10 guys in the huddle who probably are like, enough of this, you know, like your Jonathan Taylor's, your Alec Pierce's, your Michael Pittman's, like, is it fair to them to say no, we're, we're going to sink another year into quarterback development? I think that's where the Colts are at right now. They just have to give everyone in the organization a better answer at the position.
A
Yeah, but it's. It's malpractice to put him out there as rookie year. First game that he wasn't ready for that. He was barely ready for Florida, let alone getting to the Colts. Before I let you go, the holdouts, any updates on McLaurin and Hendrickson?
B
Yeah, I think Hendrickson's going to be really hard to trade the offer. I think people would be surprised to see the raw number, like, how far the Bengals have gone, just as far as the average per year. I don't think they're at where, you know, Watt and Garrett are, but they're not very far off. The future guarantees are the issue and, like, how willing the Bengals are to bend there. I think Pride's come into it because it's been three straight off seasons for Trey Hendrickson. He's been in this position. I think the Bengals, to get Trey Hendrickson signed, may need to make this feel like a win for Trey. And I can't imagine. I mean, the Bengals have been listening the whole time. They want. They want a high pick, they want an active player, and they want, you know, and Trey's got to get his contract, which is a lot to give up for a 31 year old. If you're Another team, which is why I don't think there will be a trade partner. As for Terry, I think that, you know, that's one of those where I think we get to the doorstep of the season and everybody puts their cards on the table. And I just think, and this is just me talking, I think Terry is too important to what Dan Quinn has built there over the last 18 months. And winning with the commanders and being a one team guy is too important to Terry for them not to find some middle ground. But it does feel like at this point, they need a deadline to push them there. And I think there's going to have to be a point too, for the commanders where they're going to have to look at it and say, you know what? Our data might tell us this, that it's tough to sign a receiver of that age to this sort of guarantee. I think they're going to have to bend a little bit and say, like, this is a special case because of what he means to our franchise.
A
And I've stayed away from the Micah Parsons until there was a trade offer or I really felt like he was going to be traded or. Because I think this is inevitable. Is there any update on Micah?
B
Yeah, I mean, it's a little different, I think, like the one difference. And so I'll give you the similarities between this and the last few. The pace of the negotiation with this one and CD Lamb and Dak Prescott and Zach Martin is the same. And it almost feels like Jerry has taken this and said early in the off season, you want to take our offer, fine. If not, we'll see you. We'll see you in four or five months. You know, and the pacing of the. The. These negotiations seems to go this way. It's hard to totally dismiss the idea that this helps the Cowboys get in the A block on first take, you know what I mean? Like, for the entire summer. So, you know, like, that's why those deals got done. So, you know, those deals got done so close to the beginning of the season that it's tough to rule anything out. Now, the difference is Dak Prescott was wildly popular in the building. Cd, CD Lamb, Zach Martin, wildly popular in the building. I don't know that it's the same way with Micah, and that may complicate things a little bit. And Mike is also a free thinker, you know, and so I think the. The Cowboys are going to probably put their best offer on the table, you know, at some point in the two weeks between now and the opener. And. And we'll See if he takes it. But I think it would take probably around $45 million a year to get it done now.
A
Oh, 45.
B
Yeah. So, so it's, again, part of, it's like making the player feel like he's a winner after, you know, putting him through all of this. So I think that's where you're at.
A
Great to talk to you. Thanks, as always. Safe travels.
B
Thanks, Dan. And we got a favor to ask of you that I, I think you'll enjoy a little bit fantasy football related, so look out for that one.
A
Oh, no. Hopefully you don't want advice.
B
No, no, no, no. In fact, like, I, I, I get. My friends always ask me for advice, and I tell them they're, they're asking the wrong person. So I'm with you on that.
A
You can ask me now if you want to.
B
Let's just. Okay. So a couple of my friends, we went through because, you know, like, I'm the connection to everything for them, and we went through some, some sportscasters that we all grew up watching, and, and they picked you as the guy they would like to randomly select the draft order for us.
A
All right.
B
The twist is that there are some inappropriate names that may still be around from 20 years ago when we were all just out of college and naming our teams. Things that I think one of my friends said he would, he would you die laughing if he heard you, heard you announce some of these names. So we'll see if we.
A
Okay. But it can't be made public, though.
B
Well, I promise that I already 100% like cameo. You have my promise. It will be destroyed after, after they, after everybody gets a, everybody gets a.
A
Chance to see it because Cameo, you know, you'll have leagues that reach out and say, would you do our draft? And there's some suspect names on their team names. And, you know, I said, you know, you can't make it public, but I'll, I'll do it for, you know, the 10 people in the room. But yeah, I'll be more than happy to do that.
B
All right, thanks, D.P. i appreciate it.
