Who has it better than we do, by the way? Dylan. We brought Dylan in. Yeah. He's lending his expertise in the kitchen. He'd like to be referred to as Chef Dylan. I said, let's try cook Dylan first and see how you fare. But he was in here late last night, long after everybody was at home. I came back, all of a sudden, I go, who left the the stove on? Dylan is cooking the Texas style chili. That's the dedication. That's the dedication that I love. Commitment to excellence. So that's our meat Friday menu today. I think that's actually written on his business card. It says Dylan, commitment to excellence. Oh, no, no, that's not true. Are you sure? Yeah. That's the name of his podcast.

If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app. We will talk to Brent Musburger a little bit later on this morning. Brandle Chamblee will join us from Augusta after what we saw yesterday. But let me start with Brent because every generation has a voice that defines how we remember a game. And for millions of fans, that voice was Brent Musburger and he's finally getting his due. Now the award is called the Pete Roselle Radio and TV award. Pete Roselle, former NFL Commissioner and Brent has been a voice for generation for 50 years. When you think about a Saturday or Sunday or a Monday. And when he would say, you are looking live, it was just. It sounded like something bigger was going to happen. The Rose bowl, the final four NFL Sundays of BCS title game. He had a voice that when you heard it, you knew that something was a little more important, a little more special. The Pete Roselle Award is not just honoring a broadcaster. It celebrates really the soundtrack of a lot of our lives. And Brent gave us moments. He gave us memories. This is long overdue. There are some people at the Pro Football hall of Fame who reached out yesterday, gave me a heads up before it was officially announced and said, you guys did it. So a round of applause for us because I. I just kept thinking, brent deserves to be in the Pro Football hall of Fame, just like John Fasenda. Years ago, I realized John Fasenda, the voice of NFL Films, was not in the Pro Football hall of Fame. I reached out to a friend who I've known for 35 years, who works there, and I said, this is an injustice. And she said, I'll put you in touch with David Baker, who ran the Pro Football hall of Fame. And David said, write a letter. So I go to McLovin and I said, let's put together a letter and send it to the Pro Football hall of Fame. Maybe they can give it to the voters and remind them that John Fasenda, the voice of the NFL, was not in the Pro Football hall of Fame. And then David Baker called the show and said, john Fasenda is going in posthumously. I didn't want that to happen with Brent. And every time I would have him on, we saw him in Las Vegas. He came by, he's 85 years of age. And I just said, damn it, we're going to get you in the hall of Fame, whatever role we played. And maybe it's a small role, but all I wanted to do is use the platform to remind people that he was not in the Pro Football hall of Fame. And when you think about the. The certain memories you have, the people you remember, the shows you remember, and the impact that they had on you. The CBS pregame show with Brent, I mean, that's the first time I go, I can do that. I can. That's what I want to do. I can have a goal where I'm hosting a show like that. And I never would have thought that I didn't have direction. I knew I wanted to be in sports, but I saw Brent and I thought, that's what I want to do. But when you think about starting Your football Sunday. You started your football Sunday with Brent saying, you are looking live. And, you know, even now, I never get tired of that. You are looking live. So I'm glad he's going in. Well deserved. He'll join us a little bit later on. And, you know, I tried to get Jim Nance involved in it, and I think Jim was echoing the sentiments to try to get Brent in as well. So there's a few other people who certainly picked up the baton and used their platform to help Brent or remind people that Brent wasn't in the Pro Football hall of Fame. So thank you all the people involved. Patty? Yeah, Pauline. I go back to two, three years ago, we were talking about the award, the Pete Roselle Award. And I think it was Fred Gudelli, the great producer director from abc. And we looked up and we didn't see Brent's name on the list. We saw like, Tom Jackson and Andrea Kramer and Joe Buck and Jim Nance, and it almost looked like this must be a typo. Brent Musburger's name is not on the list. The Roselle Award for contributions to the game. As a media member. We actually double checked because we thought we had it wrong. And then we brought it up on air. And every time you said it on air, people would react like, how could this be? It's it. It's almost like it must have been so obvious that Brent should be in. No one discussed him being in. I can't think of any other reason. Yeah. And, you know, I don't want to ask Brent why he wasn't in or, you know, any of that. We should be looking moving forward with that. But a lot of people got involved in this behind the scenes, and great. Greatly appreciate that. So we have a poll question today. Play of the day, stat of the day. All of that forthcoming. Your phone calls are welcome. It's a Friday. Everybody's in a great mood. Got a meet Friday. Brent's news. Yeah. You know, nominated for a sports Emmy. All great stuff. So, Seaton, what are you going to go with? And it's such a great time of the year. You got golf, the home stretch of the NBA. You got baseball, you got hockey, home stretch. You know, we've got the draft, you know, coming up in a couple of weeks. So it's. It's really a great time of the year to do this for a living or just be a fan. Seaton, what are we going to go with? First hour. Marvin sent one, actually, based on the Brent Musburger getting into the hall of Fame. Who should Dan get into the hall of Fame next? I was thinking about this, because my brother. My brother, who is a big music guy, he goes, okay, you used your platform to help Foreigner get into the Rock and Roll hall of Fame. Because I thought that was an injustice as well. And even met with their lead singer. And I'm like, I'm. I'm going on my show and I'm going to talk about. Foreigner needs to be in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame. They get in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame. And then we had John Fenda. Now, Brent, I'm tired. I got to let somebody else do this. Yes, Paulie, I got a couple. If you could crank it up, man, I don't know if I have the energy. I'll throw out two for the Pete Roselle Radio and Television Award. These two gentlemen. I can't nominate myself. Paulie, that's silly. You got other people in. Wait, oh, oh. If. If the reward is contributions to growing the game of football. How about Mel Kuiper? Yes, again, that's not. It's not even a question. Yeah, well, we. We brought this up last year. Yeah, and we brought this up last year about Mel and Peter King, the writer. Yeah, sure, yeah. You want to do one at a time. You want to let me do Mel Kuiper? Absolutely, positively, yes. And Peter, you know, these are. These are people who are there. You know, it's their lives. It's year round, you know, we get to enjoy football in football season, but with. With Mel, this year round, this is all Mel does. And then with Peter, and now he just retired, but, yeah, you're right, those are two great, great examples of people who should be nominated. But definitely Mel Kuiper, he was doing it when people weren't doing this. He changed the draft. Like, if you think about what Mel was doing when he was doing it, how he was doing it, and he'd be in his little laboratory and he'd come out with player profiles, and he'd say, you know this guy from this college, and this is where he should go. And I mean, he had his mock drafts. I mean, he did all of this. He had, like, created an entire industry, a cottage industry that is now metastasized into, you know, its own sports world. You got a festival at the draft. I go back. The first draft I went to was 1984. Not a bad draft. 83. I was there, but I wasn't working. But, you know, you start to think about what it was. They had those helmet phones. No One was really there, you know, players weren't there. Then all of a sudden it just became bigger. Hey, let's televise this, huh? Now all of a sudden it becomes Coachella. It's, it's football. Coachella and Mel, Mel helped start that. And I, I invaluable, invaluable resource at the mothership. Throughout all those, my 18 years there. You could always rely on Mel. He would come on and he was always prepared. He always, you know, he had direction with everything that he was talking about. He didn't give you sort of half assed answers like he had done his homework and his homework was going to stand up to GMs who didn't like him or coaches or players. But he did his homework. So that's a great. Yes. Let's get started on Mel. Get started on Mel. And if I have enough energy, then we can work on Peter King. Anybody else that needs to be. I think that's good for now. Yeah, it's a lot of work. Are you going to expand out of just the Pete Roselle Award? Because there's lots of other suggestions here. Sonny Vaccaro is a great one. Marvin threw out. That's very. Yes. Well, I even brought that up to Sonny and I even said it on the show. Michael Jordan, Mike write a letter. Basketball hall of Fame. Sonny should be in the Basketball hall of Fame. Contributions to the game. Sonny Vaccaro changed the game. And Mike said, actually I made Sonny so well, if, even if he says that still write a letter, you know, that would, that would carry a whole lot of weight. If Mike says Sonny should be in the Basketball hall of Fame, Sonny should be writing a letter for me, really. But, but you know, to get it. So we're not doing this posthumously. And that's the key, you know, with Brent being 85 and Sonny is in his 80s as well. What he did for the shoe industry, for coaches, I mean really, this was. He was doing nil, you know, for these coaches before there was nil. Anybody else? Seaton that I can help? Off of Marvin's list here we got Dale Murphy. Can you get him into the Baseball hall of Fame? I can't. Why? I love Murph. I think if he had two more home runs, then he might get in the. What do you end up with? 398. He had two MVPs. I love Murph. He's one of my favorite people I've ever met in my life. Not just athlete, but I don't, I don't think that's going to happen. I think he had to have 400 home runs. Where they go, all right, because then you could kind of put him in there with Fred McGriff and you could say, all right, you know, who else do you have? Because, you know, Murph was a catcher and probably not a very good catcher. They put him in center field and he became a really good center fielder. Yes. Paulie. Dan, you know how much round numbers bother me. That's the. Dale Murphy is the peak of round numbers bother.398, 400. He won back to back MVPs. There was a time when he was the most feared man in baseball. And the window was six years. Five. Six years. But had some injuries. He didn't win. They didn't play in big games. But man, I love the team. Ralph Gar, Bob Horner. Braves were fun. Get to go watch them play all the time when I was living in Atlanta. Who else do we have there? Seaton. Ken Anderson and get him into the Pro Football Hall. God, that's. Yes. If he. If he won that one super bowl in Detroit against Joe Montana, he's in the hall of Fame. I think because Kenny Anderson was the most accurate quarterback back when. I don't think we gave a whole lot of credit to being accurate. I think he had one game where he competed, completed 21 consecutive passes. And, and, and back then you were throwing deep balls. Isaac Curtis. But yeah, Kenny Anderson, I think is a Hall of Fame quarterback. I do. Anybody else there? Seaton. You know, we could start populating more of that list. Okay. Yeah, yeah. The audience may have some suggestions, but man, am I. When I got that news and my friend at the Pro Football hall of Fame and she said, you did it. And. And I was like. I saw the press release and I immediately said to the. Dan, that's. I said, we did it. What else? Seton? Actually, speaking of audience contributions, somebody tweeted at us a crazy thought that maybe we'll get to in the next segment. Okay, I can take a break. It's fun. Yeah. Just getting started, man. Got emotional about this. But that's your childhood. Like you're seeing somebody who impacted you greatly. And that's why I think it. You know, I was. I was proud to be able to do that. All right, stop crying, Dan. It's a Friday. Okay, I will. I wasn't crying. It was just kind of emoting a little bit. By the way, the starting lineup is here. Fritzi playing hurt. We'll get into that coming up. Seaton's here. Marv Paulie, Backroom guys as well. Whew. Let's take a break. Back after this. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.

It's sleepnumber.com. patrick got carried away there to start the show talking about Brent going into the hall of Fame. Then we start talking about other people who should be in the hall of fame. I blew right by the headlines. So let me reverse course here. You got Justin Rose leading the show at the Masters and Scotty Scheffler is still the overwhelming favorite to win it all. Randall Chamblee will join us coming up next hour. The Cleveland Browns have a new quarterback. It's an old quarterback. It's a a new old quarterback. Let's say hello to Joe Flacco again. Yeah. All right. Joseph. Yeah, he led him to the playoffs. Oh, they got Joe Flacco. I don't know what they're doing at number two. But may. I don't know if this is their. Well, they're definitely not going to take a quarterback. I have no idea. I still maintain that I hold out hope that maybe Kirk Cousins ends up with the Browns. But they have the second pick in the draft and they've brought back Joe Flacco. How old is Joe flacco? He's like 37. Are we playing the Joe Flacco age game? Yeah. Okay. I'm going 37. Feels like he was 36 for about four years. I got him as 39 or 41. Okay. All right. Yes. Paul, if you're a member of Joe Flacco's immediate family, do you say, dad, what are we doing this summer? Well, we're going to Yellowstone or I'm going to play professional football. It's a coin flip year to year with this guy. Well, he was on the couch and then all of a sudden he rescued the Cleveland Browns. Tonight you have Bucks, Pistons, Cabs, Knicks, Rockets, Lakers, Grizzlies and the Nuggets as we get ready to close out the regular season. Still don't know if this TJ Watt situation is an actual, actual situation where he gave a peace sign on his Instagram, I believe, and then it was cryptic. He's in the last year of his contract. He's probably looking around and saying, that guy's making more than me and that guy's making more than me. And that guy's making more than me. Hey, I'm the best defensive player in the game. Well, Miles Garrett, Max Crosby got new deals and he might look around and say, and Michael Parsons going to be making more than he is. I don't know if there's anything there. I haven't heard anything one way or another. It just feels like there might be something there. But if you're the Pittsburgh Steelers, first of all, get a quarterback. Second of all, as you move on, do you want to spend 35, close to $40 million on TJ Watt? You got the best of his career. It's like Albert Pujols with the Cardinals. You got the best of. He got those 10 years. And then it was like when the Angels were ponying up the money, the Cardinals, you know, did kind of a, yeah, well, you know, we'll kind of put out an offer there. They didn't want to bring him back. But T.J. watt, do you want to spend that kind of money? If you're a championship caliber, super bowl contending team, would you bring in TJ1? If you're the Buffalo Bills, would you bring in TJ Watt, spend that money on him? The answer is yes. But what's he going to cost you there? But I wonder if Pittsburgh says, hey, go out and find something, we don't want to spend that kind of money on you. Or they might say, we're going to give you a two year extension. Which is what I would do because he's what, 30? Okay, he was banged up, I think last year, but you know, he's got what, 22 and a half sacks in a single season. Probably should have another defensive player of the year award on his resume. But you know, this is, this is the last time you get a chance to trade him. But. And maybe there's nothing there. Until I hear otherwise, I'll kind of go with the notion that maybe there is something there. Like Tyreek Hill. It feels like, there's always something there. Always. He's always got a cryptic, you know, message that he's sending out. I think he's going through a divorce now. I don't think he's going to last in Miami. The question is, do you really want him? And at what price? Remember when $30 million. He got that deal and we're like, dang, that's a lot of money. And you. You know, then Kansas City goes, we can win without him. You're like, golly. Now that's the beauty of the Chiefs is they kind of reconfigured who they were. Their identity became a running team, pass control team, and a defensive team. Defensive team first and still able to win Super Bowls. Pretty amazing. So that's sort of the football news right now. Not much else going on, but it'll start to heat up. I did reach out to my Cleveland Brown source again, and I said, hey, going into the weekend, got anything? And then he says, I can't share anything right now. Gotta. You know, I don't. I don't have anything, and I want to be careful. And so I said, okay, I respect that. If we get something that somebody can help me with. Great. I'll pass it on to you. Alrighty. A couple of phone calls in here. Buddha in San Francisco. Hi, Buddha. What's on your mind, Dan? I am attacking this call with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. Baby. I just wanted to call in and say congratulations for the Emmy nomination, Dan, to the entire Team DP show. I am 100% Team Seaton. Before, I was like, Emmy schmiammy, who cares? But now, Dan, I'm like, an Emmy would mean everything for this little show. I mean, going up against the behemoth. So you guys, all the other entities you guys go up against, I mean, it would really cement, like, the amazing job that you've done and give credit to the trail that you've laid for all the other shows that have followed you guys. One of the strengths, Dan, that I love about this show is simply how authentic you guys are. I mean, that's. That's really it. Like, you guys, it's not scripted. You don't have writers. And I know that's definitely a huge part of why DP Nation has followed you guys for so long, and that's huge. I mean, you see Paulie, Marvin, I mean, even you, Fritzi, who we think you are. Thank you. Thank you, Buddha. Yeah. Let us talk the hook. Yeah. By the way, we had a little mishap yesterday. Danets were out I guess this was a. Like a spring training for pickleball because we had the rematch coming up in Green Bay, and all of a sudden, and they didn't have their pickleball shoes on. Well, one person didn't have his pickleball shoes on. That was a mistake. Okay. We have these unbelievable pickleball shoes. They're made by Tyrol T Y R O L. And they're really about, you know, help to stabilize your feet when you're playing. You guys could have reminded me to put them on instead of watching me, like, destroy my heels. Todd, they. They gave you these shoes. They're free. You didn't buy them. That's true. And. And so all of a sudden, Todd. And Todd was playing great. Paulie playing great. This was spirited back and forth, and I'm going, I'm proud of these athletes. And then all of a sudden, Todd went for the ball. And then I could just see him where he came up limping. There was like a little drop shot, and I was trying to get to it before it bounced a second time. And then something went very awry. Yeah. So Todd is limping today. Is it. Is it the plantar fascia? Yeah. Both heels have it, but the left heel is worse. So I'm, like, kind of limping. I can't put any pressure on my left heel right now. I may need a short dose of prednisone or something. I don't know. I need something. I went to urgent care yesterday. Shocking. I know you all with, like, why would I go run to an emergency room or something? Yeah, like 7 o'clock last night. I was in the urgent care. They took X rays. They told me to ice it and do certain stretches because my calves are very tight. Not in a muscular way, just in a you never stretch kind of way. And 55 years old, these things are. Todd, you've had two injuries. You got injured playing wiffle ball. Playing wiffle ball, and you got injured playing pickleball. Practicing pickleball. Yes. Elbow injury, wiffle ball, plantar fasciitis. Playing pickleball. That's pretty sad. Okay. Are you going to be ready for the rematch at Lambeau? I have to be. It's. It's not. It's not up for debate. It's not a question. If I gotta play on three toes on one foot, I gotta bounce around. Okay. This affects the betting line. Right now. They're ta. They've taken it off the board. It's off the board completely. It is. Because I. I don't know. I Don't know how healthy I saw you. You were in incredible pain. I could see, you know, your, your facial expressions. It was really heartbreaking, but heartwarming that you still wanted to go out there and play. A few minutes before that. I'm slamming shots left and right. I think I hit Seaton pretty hard accidentally, like in the foot. And all of a sudden. But it's like when. When Kobe blew out his Achilles and he said, no, I want to go back and shoot the free throws. This is almost exactly like that. I'd say more like a Willis Reed moment, but that's okay. No, no, no. Like you were Kirk Gibson without the home run. Yes. Paul, I got, I got a question. Emergency room. If there's an emergency room physician out there is a hurt foot. Not a torn up foot like is blown off, but a hurt foot. Emergency room worthy. Well, it is very painful. Well, to be fair to Todd, very emergency painful. And it was urgent care, which is a step below. I didn't go to the hospital. It's not. It's not emergency room. That's just an after hours kind of place to go. Urgent care. That. That's sort of the AAA version of the emergency room. You're going into urgent care. A couple of phone calls in here. Let's see. How about David in Cincinnati? Hi, David. What's on your mind today? Hey, Bo. I'm going. I'm going. Good. I guess the main question I got, and I guess on a lot of people's minds is do you feel like Pete will ever make it, even though he's passed on now and I really want to do him any good? Nope. Pete's not getting in the hall of Fame. No, no, not anytime soon. Not with this. Commissioner, I. And I don't want this to be the topic today. Okay. I don't. We. We've spent way too much time on it. I've given you my opinion. My opinion hasn't changed Baseball's embrace, gambling. I know all of that. We've gone down this road. This is not about Pete Rose today in the hall of Fame. So you can keep that opinion until a day when maybe there is some kind of movement on this. Let's see. Rich in Atlanta, I believe. Athens. Yes, outside of Atlanta. Hey, Rich. Yeah. Let's see. So Wilfred, Bill Winkenbach. I think he should be in the Pro Football hall of Fame. He is the creator of fantasy football back in the 60s. So you got to think of the generations of people who are watching football strictly because of their fantasy team. And it Also created new revenue streams for the NFL with advertising and sponsorship dollars. I just want to know what y'all thought about that. Yeah, I think it's an interesting suggestion, but there are a couple of people who have laid claim and credit for creating fantasy football. You have to really go back to rotisserie baseball. Those are the guys who created this in my mind that they created this fantasy world. But look, I'm, I'm all about more. I'm, I'm about inclusion. You want to have more people and celebrate more people. That's why I hate when the baseball hall of Fame will have like one person like I. And now I don't want to just put somebody in, fast track somebody in, but I do love when we celebrate, have the opportunity to celebrate more people. Gus in Los Angeles. Hi, Gus. What's on your mind today? Good morning, Mr. Patrick. Hope you and the boys having a good day. It's actually Gus in New Jersey today. I got a wedding that I'm attending today. My cousin, like my big brother here, he decided to getting married for some reason. Don't know why, but it's a big day today and there's nobody else that I thought other than you, Mr. Patrick, along with the boys. If any of you guys want to give some pearls of wisdom to the man that's going to take the plunge today, well, some of my advice would have probably prevented this so he wouldn't be getting married. But Gus, I think you should be the announcer at the reception. You should introduce the wedding party. I mean, he is known as the Mexican Barry White with that people. The Mexican Barry White. Okay. And Gus, what's your friend's name? Frankie. All right, all right, Frankie. It's her day. It's your mother in law's day. And don't complain about anything. Everything is great. Really Limit your alcohol intake. Be, be present, be in the moment. Go from table to table. Say hello to everybody. This isn't your day. When you get married, it's not about you. Nobody cares. Nobody wants to hear from you. Have fun, engage people. Make sure that the best man speech is brief, to the point. Don't let him get liquored up, but stay in the moment, okay? Because it's about her. Everything is about her and your mother in law because they spent all of this time trying to prepare for this. So good luck there, Frankie. Thank you, sir. Okay. And I've talked so many times about the best man speeches. I think one was about 14 minutes. Come on. And he just kept telling stories and people were getting up getting drink. Like they just. After a while, it became almost laughable. And. And that's where you have to play music. You have to play them off the stage. You know, after you really. You're over. Under should be five minutes at the most. And even then, five minutes is a long time. Yes. Yeah. I think it's important to remember, too, that for anyone giving a speech in these moments, you're not as funny as you think you are. And there is this movement over the last three, 30 years or so, maybe 40 years, that these speeches at weddings are supposed to be a roast. Yeah, they're not, because you're not that funny. Yeah, boy. But the more you drink, the funnier you think you are. I think I'm just gonna go for it. I think I'm just gonna go. Don't do that. Have you prepared a speech? No, I'm gonna go off the cuff. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Speaking of humor. Yes, Todd, you have it. I don't drink at all. And I think I'm kind of hilarious at times. I've had, like, maybe two beers in my life or whatever. That's what. Okay. I mean, I think you could give a good speech. I think your speech would be too long. It would be too long. And I would rhyme it when not everyone loves them. Not everything has to be a poem with rhymes. You could do a limerick. I mean, I'm okay with that. Can't really do a 14 minute. No, you do a bunch of limericks. No, you can't. And I think you have that sensibility to be kind, courteous, sweet. But your speeches would go way too long. People rolling their eyes and pretending to yawn. Or maybe actually yawning. Yes, Paulie. Wife strife. It just works itself up. Oh, we could do a little rhyme time. What rhymes with a knoll? Todd? Divorce, main course. There you go. Yeah, yeah. Before you guys get divorced, please enjoy your main course. We could do that prenup. What's up? There you go. It writes itself, doesn't it? Thank you, Todd. All righty, let's take a break here. Okay, take a break. Play of the day.

All right, Fritzi, the draft is coming up pretty soon. Let's go. Let's talk about the most important position in sports, the quarterback, which is really big in the draft. So first I'm going to start with the consensus number one prospect, Cam Ward. Where do you like him going in this year's draft? I see him going one. They're just, they're kind of bagging on Shador. At least one report said that he's brash and know, difficult to deal with whatever and it's, you know, and they just don't think he, they think it could slip till later in the first round. Some even suggested he may not get picked at all in the first round, which is hard for me to believe. But Cam, he seems like the guy. And there's not even a close second in the Titans. Unless they get some kind of great deal from somebody with a whole bunch of draft picks, they're going to go there. So speaking of Shador Sanders, I have him going to New Orleans. I think they really need a boost. The only thing worse than being bad is irrelevant. And I think that's what New Orleans is right now. So I think he gives them a boost. A couple of primetime games, no pun intended, with the primetime part. Love that. Love that. So where do you have Shador going? Because you've heard a lot of rumors about late first round, early second round, top 10. Where do you see him going? I think he just likes Shador because of the Saints and Colorado. Buffaloes have similar colors, so you could easily picture him in the black and gold. I don't know how much you it's because you think he's best fit as the Saints. I'm not sure if Derek Carr is the long term answer and he's been known for changing cultures with Jackson State and Colorado, so maybe he can do this with New Orleans. Also, another quarterback that's been getting a late push going towards the draft is Jackson Dart. Does that surprise you? It is because I just thought it was Shador and Cam. And he's been getting a late push a la Zach Wilson a couple of years ago before he got drafted. 2. Seems like that always happens. Everyone's got to throw in a third or a fourth name to make it interesting and exciting. But maybe there's something, there's some relevance to a dart getting closer to the top. Yeah, I'm not sure. I mean you got other guys. Jaylen Milro, he really impressed with the 40 yard dash. He got invited to the draft. I don't know if he'll go or not. But they also need star power at the draft and he's a star. He went to a big time school. So hopefully he goes somewhere where he can develop because I'm not sure if he's a polished quarterback yet. So there's other court, Will Howard, there's a few other guys that are in the mix. Who knows, right? It's always a crapshoot, right? You're just throwing a dart at the board. You might say Miller Lite is the perfect pick for draft season. It's the taste. You can depend on a great beer trusted by beer lovers for 50 years. Pick up some Miller Lite pretty much anywhere they sell beer. It's Miller time. Oh my God. The play of the day. Runner looks like. Got it. I'm playing and play it. This is the play of the day.

What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan, how you doing? Good, sir. 595-9186. Got a few things. Number one, I'm retired. I'd never tell a guy not to retire. But man, I'm gonna miss you when you're gone. When you start talking about those three or four years you got left, I mean, I hope the Danettes keep the show going. And maybe the only thing I can think of is Ross Tucker could possibly come close to filling your shoes. But your show is just so much Better than all the other talk sports talk shows. And I don't think we'll see anything like you. And I thank you for how much enjoyment I get out of your show. Thank you, Dino. I appreciate that. My pleasure. As a kid growing up in the 70s, being, you know, 10 years old in 1975, having the privilege to listen to Brent Musburger was, you know, spoiled me for everyone. The guy is just phenomenal. Back in the day, the NFL today was perfect. You know, a great buttoned up show. You know, it was just special and it made you feel great and really spurred on my love of football. And as a draft lover, I've seen every single televised draft since ESPN put it on back in the early 80s or late 70s, back when it was on Tuesday mornings. Mel Kuiper is definitely deserving of being in the hall. And you know, I, every year I'd buy his, his draft report. Yeah. And you'd call up the number and Mel was doing it out of his kitchen. Sometimes Mel would answer the ph and you'd get to talk to Mel for a couple of minutes and it was just great. And I'm glad you brought him up. I really think he's, he's the next big one that deserves to get in there. And one last thing, if you want to mention a player that deserves it, I think the, the only guy I believe from the all 80s decade team that's not in is Lester Hayes. Well, for some reason I thought Lester Hayes was in. I don't have any, I'm going to say power or authority or any sway with the voters. Pro football voters are pretty locked in now. They, they do their homework. It's a really tough job. Really tough job because you're arguing for and against players. But when it comes for the Pete Roselle with the TV and the radio award, then yes, I'm going to get involved in that. And Mel Kuiper would qualify for that and Mel Kuiper would be great as a hall of Famer and worthy of that and Peter King as well. So, you know, any other suggestions while I have this platform, if I can use it? Great. I'll be more than happy to. 8773 DP show email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle @DP Show I saw this story about the Chiefs wanting to be the official Christmas Day team of the NFL. They reached out to the NFL, reportedly reached out and said, we want to be the team that plays every Christmas Day. You know, the Lions on Thanksgiving, the Cowboys on Thanksgiving and then you'll just have another game that's usually on NBC at night. But the Chief said, hey, we want to be there every single Christmas Day. Well, the NFL said no. Mike north, the vice president of VOD broadcast planning for the NFL, talking about the Chiefs on Christmas Day. For a team like the Chiefs to volunteer for Christmas while they're busy winning every other super bowl or whatever it is, and, you know, their tight end is dating the biggest pop star on the planet. Like, sure, the league office would love for the Chiefs to host on Christmas every year. Thanks for volunteering, boys. But, you know, I'm not sure that's going to become a tradition quite the way Thanksgiving is. I mean, think about what it took for that tradition. Right? The lions since the 30s, the Cowboys since the 60s. The league doesn't want. See, this would be like, yeah, we're going to let the Chiefs be our official Christmas Day football team. And then you would have people probably criticizing the NFL, like, why are you letting the Chiefs be? Now, a lot of these guys don't want to play on Christmas Day. Yeah. LeBron has been playing on Christmas Day for 19 out of 22 years. I don't think that he's been in favor of playing on Christmas Day. You get a big audience, big platform there. But here are the Chiefs and maybe the NFL saying, we can't let them have what they want. Now, if the NFL came to them and said, we want to put you on Christmas Day, then it would be different. But here's once again, Mike North. He sets up the schedule with Howard Katz at the NFL, and he was on the It's Always Game Day in Buffalo podcast about committing to the Chiefs, both from the fan standpoint. You know, I know the Chiefs are, you know, raising their hand supposedly, but, you know, that's a lot to ask. Your fans come out every year on Christmas, certainly while you're good and you're winning AFC west titles and fighting for Super Bowls. Yeah, it's easy give, you know, if five years from now, after Patrick Mahomes retires and, you know, they're not the, you know, perennial division champion and in every AFC Championship game, I'm not sure we'd want to be, you know, married to a psych. And I get that. But for the time being, you could unofficially, officially lock in the Kansas City Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes. Like, I feel pretty confident over the next five years, they'd still be must see TV and be a very competitive team. It's such a great organization that does Andy Reid coach for five more years? Probably not. Kelsey's not going to be there. Mahomes will be there. As long as you have Brett Veach as your gm, you're probably going to have a competitive team. Chris Jones isn't going to be there. I mean, if you really start to look at it, if you have Mahomes, is that enough from us? Ctv. But the fact that they wanted to do it at the NFL, the NFL. You have to wait for us to tell you that. We'll let you do that. Yes. Marvin, do you think this is a concerted effort by the Chiefs to try to make themselves even bigger so they can become the Cowboys in 20 years, where they have fans everywhere, almost like the Steelers and the 49ers? Well, you're, you're seeing these teams who want designated areas in the, in the world. Like we're going to be the team in Brazil, we're going to be the team in Germany, we're going to be the team in Ireland. That's how you expand your brand. But if you look back on the Cowboys were always there every Thanksgiving. That's how you become America's team. You were good playing on Thanksgiving. The Lions started out being good back in the 30s, and then all of a sudden we just accepted that the Lions were going to be playing. They'd be playing the early game. We're like, oh, that's cute. Lions get a nationally televised game. The Cowboys, they became America's team partly due to being there on Thanksgiving, seeing them all the time. Seaton, could you update the poll results from the first hour? I can feel badly about it. Why? Worst Todd injury. Pickleball heel or wiffle ball elbow. Right now, Wiffle ball elbow. Running away with 62% of that vote, but it's trending upward. Yeah, that was kind of sad. And he was playing great. He was dominating Wiffle ball and his career may be over.
