You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show

0:02

on Fox Sports Radio Final Hour

0:05

in this Tuesday. That was quite an hour

0:07

last hour. If you missed the Russell Wilson

0:09

interview, any of the interviews, go to dan

0:11

Patrick dot com on a

0:14

lot of other media outlets who are interested

0:16

in what Russell had to say. And

0:19

Russ was joining us. He was talking about being

0:21

named the Walter Peyton Man of the Year. Also

0:23

on the cover of GQ with his wife Sierra.

0:26

That issue comes out here in

0:28

a couple of weeks. But make

0:31

no mistake about it. I think Russell Wilson

0:33

wanted to get something off his chest, and that is

0:35

he's starting to look around. He's at

0:37

the Super Bowl. He's seeing Tom Brady out there

0:40

win a Super Bowl, and he's gone.

0:42

Tom brought in Antonio Brown,

0:44

Tom brought in Rob Grunkowsky. Tom

0:46

brought in Leonard Fournette, and those

0:48

guys scored touchdowns and he won a Super

0:50

Bowl. Why is it that I don't

0:52

have any input? Why can't I have a

0:54

seat at the table with the Seattle Seahawks

0:57

here, Deshaun Watson, they gave

0:59

it to him in Houston. Whether they allowed

1:01

him to sit at the table or not. That's been

1:04

for discussion there. But among

1:07

the things that I talked to Russell Wilson about,

1:09

I asked him if he had any say in the draft

1:11

or free agency, and he said, I want to be involved

1:13

your legacy, team's legacy. You have to trust

1:15

the guys around you. That's why Tom went to Tampa

1:18

for me. When you bring in free

1:20

agents, you want to be around the best guys

1:22

in game. Relationships and dialogue is really

1:24

the key. And then I followed up

1:27

by saying, are you involved

1:29

in personnel decisions? Have you been? He said,

1:31

not as much. It helps to be involved and it should

1:33

happen more often. Then I asked him

1:35

about the CBS report on Super Bowl

1:37

Sunday that the Seahawks have received

1:40

trade calls. He says, I believe

1:42

they've gotten calls. Anytime you're a player

1:45

that produces, teams will call. And

1:47

then I followed up by saying are you available?

1:50

And he said not sure. That's a Seahawks

1:52

question. Do you want to win? I hate

1:54

seeing the other guys winning. Ultimately, you watch

1:57

the game, that's why we play. Reality

1:59

of pro sports. Things happen, things change.

2:01

Not sure how long I'll play in Seattle. Now

2:04

he says he loves playing there, but

2:08

he says he wants to play at least another ten years.

2:10

He is on pace to be sacked

2:12

more times than anybody in the history

2:15

of the sport. And

2:18

we've had russ On and he shakes off questions.

2:20

He's good at shake it off questions or giving you

2:22

an answer and then not really answering it. This

2:25

time around, I think he wanted to answer

2:27

these questions the best way he could without

2:30

being a flamethrower. And I think it's something

2:32

to keep an eye on in Seattle. Age

2:34

seven seven three d P show email address DP

2:36

at Dan Patrick dot com Twitter handle, is

2:38

that DP show coming up? He's

2:40

known as Nick Wrong. This week Nick Wright

2:43

from Fox Sports One. He said the

2:45

Chiefs were going to win by sixteen, and

2:47

he did reach out to Fritzie and say, did

2:50

Dan pick the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl? And

2:52

then Fritzie had to send it back and

2:54

say, no, he picked Tampa Bay.

2:56

He was not happy to hear that. Yeah, Nick

2:58

trying to do the end around own, going, oh did

3:01

you pick the Chiefs? No? I picked Tampa

3:03

Bay? Nick I said I would never bet against

3:05

Tom Brady, So I'm

3:08

Dan right this week,

3:10

and he is Nick wrong. And Nick will join

3:12

us coming up in a little bit. He's a great

3:14

sport. By the way, we also looked

3:16

at the Super Bowl ratings. Now I

3:18

only hand out the super Bowl trophy when there's at

3:20

least one hundred million people watching.

3:23

I knew this is coming. I'm

3:26

just saying I knew, and I could have been

3:28

a week's pass Paulli. Every time I hand out

3:30

the super Bowl how many people are watching? It's

3:32

not a quistence. Why don't these networks

3:34

learn? Did they have one hundred million

3:36

people watching this Super Bowl?

3:38

Sunday? I bring the question back to you, were you hosting?

3:41

And give them try It was not And there's answer.

3:43

Jim Nance was hosting, and

3:45

there was slightly less than a I don't

3:48

you know. I don't get up on a podium unless I know

3:50

there's one hundred million people. One shouldn't because

3:53

I one year I almost walked. I got

3:55

up there and I said, how many people watch? How

3:58

how many weekly? Thing? There's round

4:00

ninety nine million. Ah, you

4:02

better if it's not one hundred million, I'm not going to hand out

4:04

this trophy. And then somebody quickly ran

4:06

in and said, yeah, it's a one oh four one

4:09

hundred and four million, and then I went, okay,

4:11

all right, I'm gonna Liam mckugh was

4:13

in the back ready to come out and hand out the Super Bowl

4:15

understudy. Yes, in case I was

4:17

not going to do it, they were going to go to the bullpen and bring

4:19

in Liam mqugh. Yes, MC club. That explains

4:22

why Nat said before we talked to Bretty, he goes, Tom,

4:24

I know no one's watching this right now, but

4:26

how do you feel after winning the Super Bowl? I didn't hear

4:28

that. I did not hear that either. John

4:31

Iran does a great job the Sports Business

4:33

journal media reporter on these

4:36

numbers with the Super Bowl, and John joins

4:38

us on short notice. Were the Super

4:40

Bowl numbers down? And if so, why,

4:42

John? Damn? I didn't

4:45

realize you are such a prima donne. I

4:49

would go on for a bag of peanuts. So

4:53

were the numbers down? Yeah, the Super Bowl

4:55

numbers were down. I

4:57

wasn't surprised that the regular season numbers

4:59

were down about seven percent. The Super Bowl

5:01

numbers were down generally about seven

5:04

or eight percent. And I think that there

5:06

there are probably a billion reasons why

5:09

the game was not competitive, which is a

5:11

main reason. I think it was the biggest

5:13

score differential, second biggest score differential

5:16

in the last like eighteen years. I think it was a stat

5:18

that I saw and for

5:20

me, it just didn't have a big game

5:22

feel. There was there was no Super

5:25

Bowl week leading into into the game. The

5:27

stadium had a twenty thousand

5:30

people in a sixty eight thousand people stadium,

5:33

so there wasn't this raucous crowd going

5:35

on there. And I don't know anybody

5:37

that went to a Super Bowl party, you know, you

5:39

know, there was just this

5:41

to me, this game was basically

5:44

a game that ended the NFL season as

5:46

opposed to a Super Bowl that would get you know,

5:48

my wife and daughters interested in watching

5:51

it. What about streaming numbers and how

5:53

did those factor in the overall numbers

5:55

the totality. Yeah, I mean,

5:58

the greatest thing about CBS's

6:00

release that they put out today, Dan was that

6:03

they talked about, you know, an overall number,

6:05

and they got right into streaming. But yeah,

6:07

you can tell like streaming every

6:09

single year is going to set a new record. I

6:11

mean, that's that's sort of the trend

6:14

of the media business. I think the streaming

6:16

numbers were for an averagement and audience

6:18

which is most comparable to a

6:21

TV viewing number. I think it

6:23

was about six million people streaming five point

6:25

seven million, uh and that

6:27

that what that set a record, Um

6:29

it was. It's a big point

6:32

of emphasis for the NFL and for

6:34

the networks, and I expect those

6:36

for the next several years. The release

6:39

to say, you know, all time high for streaming. Do

6:41

you think in our lifetime we'll see a Super

6:43

Bowl on somebody like Apple

6:46

or Amazon, you know, one

6:48

of these you know, big carriers

6:51

that come in. I I, you know,

6:53

in our lifetime is a long time hopefully, But I

6:55

know, I don't. I think the the

6:57

NFL currently has a

7:00

media strategy where it wants

7:02

to be available to the most

7:04

people possible, and that's always

7:06

going to be broadcast TV. And and

7:08

so I think that what

7:10

we will see is, um, you

7:13

know, the Super Bowl going to like an Amazon Prime

7:15

or YouTube, but

7:18

it'll be simulcast on there and the

7:21

main thing will be on broadcast television.

7:23

But I think that we are a

7:25

very very long way away from broadcast

7:27

television not bringing in the most viewers, which

7:29

is the only thing that the NFL wants. How do they account

7:32

for those watching the Super Bowl in a bar,

7:34

and in this case this year, didn't

7:36

watch in a bar. All right, I'm going to try

7:38

to explain this for your audience. It doesn't get too

7:40

in the weeds. But they they have something

7:43

called the out of home number, and so

7:45

they count the people

7:47

that are watching in bars, at

7:49

friends houses, people. If you're a Nielsen

7:51

rated household, you walk around basically with an

7:53

electronic beeper and it picks it picks

7:56

up not the video, but the audio. So

7:58

that they're making sure this is all an ad

8:01

for advertising. They want to make sure that people are actually

8:03

listening to the ads. And so the

8:06

number that CBS put out one

8:08

of the reasons that they were supposed to put it out yesterday they

8:10

put it out today. One of the reasons they delayed it is

8:12

because they wanted to make sure they got the out of home number

8:15

baked into that that number, considering

8:18

the pandemic. Did the NFL

8:20

have as good a year as other

8:23

sports are better year than other sports? Yeah,

8:25

the NFL is king and this year,

8:28

even though the ratings were down, proved it. And

8:31

I think that if you take a look at the

8:33

biggest story that I'm covering Dan is

8:35

about the next round of NFL

8:37

rights and what networks are going to going to get

8:40

them, and so the ratings were

8:42

down about seven percent. It

8:45

was a tough year all the way around. And

8:47

you better believe that NBC is going

8:49

to double let's pay out, CBS

8:52

is going to double let's pay out. Fox and ESPN

8:54

are going to pay really significant increases

8:56

every every single TV network is

8:59

going to be paying about two billion dollars

9:01

per year for NFL

9:03

rights going forward. So you

9:05

know, we're the ratings down this year, yeah,

9:07

a little bit, but TV networks still

9:09

view the NFL as just the

9:12

biggest programming, the best programming, just the

9:14

king, and that's that they're not going to lose

9:16

that anytime soon. How valuable

9:19

would Peyton Manning be on the open market if

9:21

Tony Romo's worth seventeen million, That

9:25

Tony Romo's worth seventeen million, Tony

9:28

Romo is that

9:31

was a specific point in time where ESPN

9:33

needed somebody. There were two networks that were

9:36

going after him. You have the rights deal

9:38

coming up, and so it

9:40

was it was this perfect storm for Tony

9:43

that he was able to leverage. If

9:45

Peyton were to come come in into that

9:47

sort of scenario. Yeah, he would be getting

9:50

you know, I could easily see something between

9:52

ten to fifteen million. I mean, he's a bona

9:55

fide star that that that that

9:57

does well on television. But unless

9:59

there's that competition, unless there's that, you

10:01

know, the rights deal going forward, the market

10:04

is nowhere near fifteen million dollars. I

10:06

mean, the Tony Romo

10:08

contract is like a Unicorn contract. Oh my gosh,

10:11

I know that's a whole lot. Does he

10:13

help ratings? Does it show that he somehow

10:15

boost ratings? Um?

10:18

I think that he helps in terms of there

10:21

are only a very few people John

10:23

Madden, Tony Romo that people

10:27

stick with bad games longer

10:29

because he's doing it. And if

10:31

you talk to one of the CBS executives,

10:33

they talk they use this metric

10:35

where if they're going in an airport, people

10:38

talk about Tony Romo, they identify

10:40

Tony Romo with CBS and

10:42

they think that it's a great sort of marketing

10:45

look for the NFL on CBS to have

10:47

somebody like Tony. Any chance that Jim

10:49

Nance leaves CBS, I can't.

10:51

Can't you know this better

10:53

than I do? Dan, I can't. I can't see

10:55

a scenario where he leaves CBS,

10:58

I would ESPN

11:00

would be willing to talk to him. I don't

11:03

think those that really have been any serious

11:05

talks there, and I just I don't

11:07

see Jim Nance leaving. Well, Jim probably trying

11:09

to create some leverage so he could

11:11

get a seventeen million dollars a year contract

11:14

from NYM. TAG knows how to create leverage.

11:18

John, great to talk to you. Is always thanks for joining

11:20

us, absolutely, thanks for having many high and that's

11:22

John Iran does a great job sports business

11:24

journal, media reporter there. Yeah,

11:27

I saw where there was a chance that maybe

11:30

Jim Nance would go to ESPN and then he could

11:32

do Monday Night Football, or if they went to ABC

11:34

and then they hosted a super Bowl.

11:37

But I can't imagine CBS

11:40

letting Jim Nance go. But that Tony

11:42

Romo contract, who

11:45

I mean talk about timing, I

11:47

mean, really, that's that's what it is. Because

11:50

his niche is calling a play

11:52

before it happens, and

11:54

he doesn't do that as much anymore.

11:57

And I don't know why, because

12:00

his overall analysis is not

12:03

on par with Collinsworth or

12:05

Aikman, but his ability to

12:07

call these plays was something we had never seen, so

12:09

we were fascinated that he saw it before

12:12

everybody else did. Now, if you

12:14

talk to football players or former football players,

12:16

certainly quarterbacks, they're going to be able

12:18

to tell you, hey, look for this. It's

12:21

just Tony was willing

12:23

to do that before anybody else was.

12:26

And if you're calling the shot before it

12:29

happens, and then it happens, people are like,

12:31

oh my god, this guy's

12:33

doing something different than anybody else. Yeah.

12:36

Yeah. His big call this year was

12:40

in November when Chief, yeah,

12:42

I think this one. We're gonna play this one back again. Yeah,

12:45

yeah, it's pretty good. I mean they led the like

12:47

the Super Bowl broadcast off with that. You know,

12:50

his demeanor, he almost comes off like a guy who

12:53

want to contest to call a game with Jim Nace,

12:55

Like he's like, this is awesome. I can't believe we're at the super

12:57

Bowl. This is the best Jim. Someone wants to win

12:59

it more than the other guy. He comes off sometimes almost

13:01

like like a Chris Farley type where

13:04

he's like this is great, which is refreshing

13:06

because there's a lot more guys who are stoic,

13:08

Like you said, his analysis, it's not right

13:11

there with those guys. He doesn't know. He's not a chart

13:13

guy and a stratosphere guy. No,

13:15

And it feels like Collinsworth, you know,

13:18

he does so much homework and you

13:20

know he But I wondered

13:22

if this was going to lead to a lot

13:24

of impersonators, where you would have guys

13:26

who would be wanting to call the play

13:28

before it happens. You know, the only problem

13:31

is that when you call the play and then it

13:33

doesn't turn out that way, then

13:35

you know. And not as many people talk

13:37

about that. But I

13:40

remember listening to a Monday night game

13:42

and this was when Jack Buck, Joe's

13:45

dad, and Hankstram would do Monday night

13:48

radio. And I remember

13:51

that I was getting something to eat. I

13:53

was working at the mother Ship and it was a Monday night

13:55

game, so I'm listening as I'm going to get something

13:58

to eat off campus, and

14:01

Hankstram would famously try to

14:03

tell you what the play was going to be, and

14:05

you would have Jack Buck, who was trying to keep

14:07

it all together because the play by play guy is so

14:09

important. Jim nance is so important to Tony

14:11

Romo's success because Jim

14:14

is able to bring it back to

14:17

calling the game Tony is like, you

14:19

know, the guy who yells out

14:22

stuff and then you got to sort of bring it

14:24

back. And that's what happened with Hankstram.

14:26

Hank would go you know, it was the forty

14:29

nine ers. Uh and uh. Hankstram's

14:31

like, uh, Jack, I I think they're gonna

14:33

run left. They they liked to run left. Here they

14:36

roll right, you know. So it was

14:40

it was just such a funny moment that Hankstram

14:43

was so certain, you know, situations

14:45

like this, Jack, they liked him run. They like to go. Laugh. Then

14:47

they roll right and you're going, oh,

14:53

what a great business. I'm in right, wacky

14:56

business. Uh

14:59

what do we have here? Brad and North Carolina?

15:01

Hey Brad, what do you have for me today? Hey

15:04

Dan, We've got a little bit of a hot take. Whoa

15:07

okay? All right. We know

15:10

that every time Russ

15:12

has appeared on the program, he always

15:14

signs off with the signature go Hawks,

15:17

and mysteriously today that

15:19

go Hawks was absent. So now

15:22

now, Paul, hold on, hold on, Brad, I

15:24

gotta go to we go to the house

15:26

room. Ye an Eye Team Investigation. The

15:29

motto of our news team is we

15:31

don't break news.

15:34

We sprain it. Let's go to the news room, Paully

15:36

Dan. Since Russell Wilson has joined the

15:38

Seahawks, he's been on this show checking my notes.

15:41

I think nineteen times since

15:43

he joined the Sea hundred, including today,

15:45

He has signed off every interview with

15:47

go Hawks. What happened was after

15:50

you said bye to him, it was almost like a double

15:52

goodbye. We started bringing down his level

15:54

and you can hear go Hawks a little bit in the

15:56

background. Okay, we'll go to the tape if we need

15:58

to. So hopefully Brad that that

16:00

kind of set up. Yeah, because in Seattle this

16:02

would be a big story. Yeah. Yeah. If he didn't say go Hawks,

16:05

then I know that he's he's going to be traded.

16:07

So hopefully that that settles that brand.

16:09

Was it less enthusiastic You be the judge? Oh okay,

16:12

so like with a question mark like gowk,

16:14

go Hawks, or go from the Hawks

16:17

to the other team where I can have some personnel

16:19

to bye bye like Hawks. Later

16:22

go get some off into Liman Hawk. Yeah,

16:24

he'll get me some help Hawks. Thank

16:30

you, brat, brat. He

16:34

should have gone to the other side of the mansion and got

16:37

in Sierra on the phone. That could have taken

16:39

away these these questions. Eric. If

16:42

I'm Russ and all of a sudden I'm facing bullets

16:44

here, they'd be like, hold on, hold on, Sierrah,

16:48

Sarah go over here. Yeah,

16:51

yes, So, I don't think the big

16:53

news from the interview is going to be that he was recruited

16:55

by Dartmouth. I was hoping that would be the headline. He

16:59

was a little thrown off. He's like, why as we about Darbath

17:01

again? But he loved it. Yeah, Gobi

17:03

quen. I

17:06

got some numbers here quarterbacks

17:10

and how many times they were hitting the super Bowl

17:12

since two thousand and six. The

17:14

quarterback who was hit the most was

17:18

Cam Newton. That

17:20

was twenty sixteen against

17:23

Denver. That makes sense. Jared

17:25

Goff is tied with Cam Newton.

17:29

Third on the list is Matt Ryan. Fourth

17:32

on the list was Tom Brady against the New York

17:34

Giants. Brady

17:37

is in there. All four of his losses he

17:41

got hit. So Newton lost,

17:43

Golf lost, Ryan lost. That was a loss.

17:45

That's a loss by Brady. The

17:48

Atlanta game he won, Philly he lost.

17:50

He's in there, and

17:52

the Giants game he's in there as well. I mean, you look

17:54

at these numbers. You know,

17:56

for the most part, the guys on the list lost

17:58

their Super Bowl as they were

18:00

hit the most times quarterbacks most

18:03

times pressured in Super Bowl since

18:05

two thousand and six. This is as far

18:07

back as we could go on short notice. Patrick

18:11

Mahomes Sunday night, thirty

18:14

three times pressured in the Super Bowl.

18:17

Second is Patrick Mahomes

18:20

the previous year against San Francisco.

18:22

And you know, San Francisco had the blueprint.

18:26

They had the blueprint before Tampa did offensive

18:29

line putting pressure. And you

18:31

know what they just forgot about Tyreek Kale

18:34

for three and a half quarters, they shut down Patrick Mahomes.

18:37

Cam Newton is on there, Brady's on there.

18:41

Yeah, so, but Patrick Mahomes, that's the most

18:44

times a quarterback has been pressured.

18:46

So a pressure means a play

18:48

with a sack, a hit, a hurry,

18:50

or a knockdown thirty three

18:53

times Sunday night. All

18:55

right, we'll take a break. We got more phone

18:57

21:06

Wright now known as Nick Wrong. This week, co

21:08

host of First Things First on Fox Sports One

21:11

joins us on the program. Well, refresh

21:13

my memory, what were you saying about the Chiefs

21:15

on Friday going into the Super Bowl

21:18

Oh, I don't know if you actually need your

21:20

memory or refreshed. Dan. I saw the beginning

21:22

of yesterday show. You seem to remember it vividly.

21:25

Just a day ago. I had the shocking

21:27

take that the Chiefs would win. I had

21:29

the shocking take that the best offense

21:32

in the league over the last three years would continue to function.

21:35

And I was wrong. And you

21:37

know, I understand that this is

21:39

the first time and you're what is it at this point

21:41

sixty five year broadcasting career

21:43

that you've ever had someone have an incorrect prediction.

21:46

So I'm surprised a little bit at

21:48

the level you're reveling in it. But yeah, I was wrong. I

21:50

was wrong, Dan, Wait, that sounded snarky,

21:53

Nick, Are you

21:55

being snarky? No? No, No No, I

21:57

wouldn't be snarky. I wouldn't I would never be

21:59

snarky. And you know, a broadcast

22:01

Hall of Famer leads his show the day

22:03

after the Super Bowl potentially the most

22:05

listened to view day of your entire year.

22:08

Within eighteen seconds at calling

22:10

me what I was called as a third grader, I

22:13

understand this show does traffic

22:15

in a dantic childhood

22:18

humor. We're just you know, a few

22:20

steps above flatulence jokes on this

22:22

television radio program. But I

22:24

thought Nick wrong? You know, you know, so you

22:27

could have changed Nick too. There's a

22:29

name that rhymes with you could have gone for the whole

22:31

boat there. If you wanted to change my

22:33

name, mess with my name the lead your show

22:35

the day after the super Bowl. That's fine, that's the broadcasting

22:38

you do. Wait, were you called Dick

22:40

wrong in grade school? I

22:44

hope you get fined for that. I hope,

22:47

I hope you. I hope

22:49

Right now, Franz and Palli and all

22:51

the guys are nervous because

22:54

you're doing things you shouldn't do. Wait,

22:56

should I think could I get

22:58

in trouble for saying that Dick was a

23:00

great player? Or Dick ever saw is one of the great

23:02

TV executives? How about

23:05

I call you Richard wrong? Why

23:10

did I come on? Why do I do

23:13

this? Because you're a good sport. That's

23:16

why you're a good sport. When did you be

23:18

like, you know, who's not a good sport? That

23:21

Tom Brady taunting people

23:23

and then writing apology notes afterwards.

23:26

You know it was not a good sport. That Antoine

23:28

Winfield junior Antoine Winfield

23:30

senior would never do what

23:33

he did. He's like, oh, Tyreek did

23:35

it to me? Tyreek when he was running into the

23:37

end zone in Week twelve was wishing peace

23:40

be upon you as you're taught in you know, half

23:42

of school growing up. It was a very different

23:44

scenario than what Antoine Winfield junior did.

23:47

When did you know that you were in trouble? Your chiefs

23:49

were in trouble? Well around

23:52

the time, Fritzie text me to

23:54

make sure I would come on this week, even though

23:56

the game wasn't over. That wasn't a good sign.

23:59

Wait did he you during the game. During

24:01

the game, he was like, if this result

24:04

hold,

24:06

I told you

24:09

that I couldn't cot. There was like twenty one whatever.

24:13

Nick I did tell Fritzie to wait, I think

24:15

and you why did you do that? I said to my note

24:17

at halftime, just to make sure that sends

24:20

up. Well, we'll see you monday. I'm

24:22

sorry. I apologize for that. I'm

24:25

gonna say it. I'm not going to text you. I apologize.

24:27

Okay, Well, I appreciate that

24:29

that was sent during halftime. I

24:31

hear the Weekend had a good

24:34

performance. I can't confirm it because

24:36

I was pacing around my neighborhood chain smoking

24:38

black and milds, trying to figure

24:40

out what I was angriest about. Was

24:42

I angriest about the

24:45

the new definition of past

24:47

interference that applied to these playoffs, which

24:49

is Tom Brady and completions. Was I

24:51

angriest about Andy Reid, who

24:54

I adore, just deciding to

24:56

just continue to taunt Tom Brady

24:58

with the timeouts? What are you doing calling these mounts?

25:00

Or it was I angriest about the fact that

25:03

what might have been the single greatest pass

25:05

I've ever seen Patrick Mahomes throw on

25:07

a third and eleven with a man in his face

25:09

and a man behind him, bounced off Tyreek's

25:12

face mask. And I didn't know what I was angriest

25:14

about. But then I decided, No, I'm angriest to Todd

25:16

Fritz. That's why I'm angry. Okay,

25:18

hold on, Todd want he's convenely

25:20

leaving out his response to that text where

25:22

he goes out to say, I Am going to frame

25:24

this text and hang it up on the wall or something

25:27

along those lines after the Chiefs come back and win,

25:30

because I was too premature to call it a

25:32

game. Okay, all right,

25:35

I respect the confidence it

25:37

was, you know, misplaced, naive, but

25:40

you know, it's good to know. You know what,

25:42

you learned something new every day, and it's

25:44

good to know because I learned yesterday

25:47

that this show is the place for juvenile

25:49

humor. And I learned today that

25:52

Todd Fritz is a man that's going to

25:54

share private texts that was

25:56

not for publication. That was

25:58

not That wasn't that. I thought that was between Todd

26:00

and I. Do you think everyone has

26:02

my cell phone number? Todd? I did have

26:05

a circle and now I'm gonna have to change

26:07

it or just block. This

26:09

is what happened. When did you start thinking

26:11

about me on Sunday?

26:15

Well, I was thinking about

26:17

a lot on Sunday, Dan. I was

26:19

thinking about the fact that, you

26:21

know, I've always heard that kids

26:23

that have to pay their way through college are

26:27

more successful like they and I'm like, well,

26:29

that'll be good for my kids because now

26:31

I can't pay for it. So I thought about

26:34

that. I was thinking about the fact

26:36

that do you realize the

26:38

perfect storm of events that had to happen

26:41

for this, like it's

26:43

one thing for a guy for many years

26:46

to say I think Tom Brady is finished

26:48

and my saving grace on that is you know who agreed

26:50

with me, Bill Belichick, because he waved him

26:52

goodbye. Bill Belichick's like, you know what, that Nick

26:54

right, he makes some gay some good takes. I

26:57

like those statistical graphs pointing down wood

26:59

By to Tom Brady, and it's another thing for me to be

27:01

like, Hey, this guy Mahomes, he's the most talented

27:03

player I've ever seen in my life. And the Chiefs are gonna

27:05

win three in a row. But the fact

27:07

that during the life of those

27:10

takes, it was never a

27:12

possibility that Brady could beat

27:14

Mahomes in a Super Bowl. So they played

27:16

in the same conference, but then he had

27:18

to leave. The Chiefs had to make another Super

27:20

Bowl Brady and somehow get there, and

27:22

then it had So

27:25

I was just thinking, like, this is like the

27:28

this is the Randy Johnson's fastball

27:30

that killed the Dove of like perfect

27:33

storm of suck for these takes to all

27:35

collide, and I'm the Dove and

27:38

Tom Brady's the fast Bowl. I'm

27:42

so mad. I'm so

27:44

mad, and you're so happy. No,

27:47

But I like how you try to do kind of

27:49

an end run and you said to

27:51

Fritzie, hey did Dan picked the Chiefs

27:53

and then Fritzie had to tell you know, I picked the Buccaneers.

28:02

What a ratt you? I

28:07

can send you nothing now, rust

28:11

you're dab. I really

28:13

did think you picked the Chiefs. No, and

28:15

yeah, so I've had to pivot.

28:18

I had the under two Nick, I had the under

28:20

in the in the Buccaneers. Do you do?

28:22

You have? You? You guys have a fancy social

28:24

media team. If you if you really

28:27

wanted to stick it to me, what you could have put up

28:29

was my tweet with the

28:32

eleven prop bets I made before

28:34

the game, and you missed them all, didn't

28:36

you? I went over a lot. That's

28:40

that's hard to do. Not

28:42

only is it hard to do, my friend, let me tell you

28:44

something as someone a seasoned

28:46

gambler. When you make eleven

28:49

bets, if you're a responsible gambler,

28:51

you think worst case scenario. You're like, all right,

28:53

what if I go three for eight? If I'm

28:56

minus five units plus

28:58

the big can I Can I stomach

29:00

it? You're like, okay, I can

29:03

bet in the right amount. You don't budget over

29:05

eleven. It's not even a concept

29:07

because one, two for nine, you're

29:09

only minus seven units. You're like, ah, that hurts.

29:12

Over for eleven, Dan, you don't

29:15

consider I bet

29:17

over thirty eight and a half

29:19

yards for the chief's shortest

29:21

punt. So over thirty and a half yards

29:23

for the shortest pump, with the logic being they're not gonna

29:26

punt inside the forty. It was a sharp bet.

29:28

I was like, I am on the right side of this, that

29:30

long haired hippie punter. We have shake

29:33

that sucker off one side and

29:35

then shaked it off the other side. Yeah,

29:38

two twenty eight yard punts. God,

29:41

sorry I could called you hippie. And

29:44

by the way, get

29:46

Nick right at get Nick Right,

29:49

that's your Twitter. Yeah, but we just found

29:51

out that at get Dick wrong it's

29:53

available, so that now

29:56

do you want us to grab PAULI would you grab that?

29:58

Yeah, I'll grab it for that. They're

30:01

wrong, No, at

30:03

get Dick Wrong. Yeah. Okay,

30:09

you guys are really enjoying this. Yeah,

30:12

Hey, you're coming off great. You

30:15

know we might not, but you're

30:17

coming off great. Okay, I'm

30:19

financially installed my

30:24

Hey, you went out and bought a beautiful

30:26

red blazer velvet

30:29

velvet blazer, custom made.

30:32

How much was that blazer? It

30:38

was a thousand and seventy four dollars, Dan, I

30:43

like going to pay for it

30:45

with all my chief Oh

30:47

your prop bets, Oh your prop

30:50

bets, all the punter bets. You were

30:52

gonna pay for your blazer? Oh

30:55

you know what made me wear it? When the Buccaneers

30:57

have their parade, their victory preye, it's not it

31:00

is the thing. You want to know something.

31:03

Yeah, I'm gonna share this with you and then it'll

31:05

be a good it'll be a final thing to share with you,

31:07

and then we'll do You want to text it to Fritzie

31:09

and then he'll share it with me? No, I don't.

31:11

Okay, the story I

31:13

went into had

31:16

that red velvet blazer in

31:18

a slightly different hue

31:21

of red that I thought was too

31:23

close to the Bucks color that

31:25

instead I had.

31:27

I saw they had a different piece of clothing

31:30

in the Chiefs red, and I was like, can

31:32

you custom make me that blazer

31:34

in that fabric. He's like, it's gonna be like double

31:36

the price. I'm like, no problem, I've

31:38

got it. Let's do it.

31:41

Stupid blazer, it's just hangs in my closet now,

31:43

taunts me, never to be worn. Do

31:47

the Chiefs rebound from this? I

31:50

might not, but they will, Yeah,

31:53

they were more likely to get back

31:56

to the Super Bowl next year, Chiefs or Bucks.

31:59

I think it's here's the thing, in all seriousness,

32:02

I think it's pretty clearly the Chiefs

32:04

in this regard. There's no

32:06

one in the AFC that has shown they can beat Mahomes.

32:08

He's never lost to Josh Allen. He's never lost

32:10

to Lamar, he's never lost to Baker. The

32:12

only young good quarterback that's ever beaten

32:15

him is DeShawn, and Deshawn's leaving, like

32:17

I assume, leaving the conference, and

32:20

so I just I think Herbert

32:22

is going to be really good. But that's

32:24

I don't think they're ready yet. I just think the

32:26

NFC is so much supper now. Brady's got an easier

32:28

division now all of a sudden, because Breeze

32:30

is assuming we assume I think Breeze

32:33

is done. And so I don't think that division

32:35

is that good. But the Rams should be good. We know

32:37

the Seahawks will be good, the Packers will be good. So

32:40

I just think it's a tougher road and

32:42

I think the Chiefs. I'm

32:44

gonna go ahead and say this, I think the

32:47

Chiefs are better than the Bucks. I understand

32:49

I have no evidence to prove it, but I

32:51

think the Chiefs over the course of the season are the better

32:53

team, and so I think the Chiefs are more likely to be

32:55

back. You're a good sport and thanks

32:58

for joining us, and we'll talk to you next

33:00

football season. Dan, you're okay.

33:03

Paulie mclovin, you

33:05

guys are fine. Fritz, you're gonna

33:07

hear from I

33:09

have to patch up. I gotta get the trust back. Thank

33:12

you. Nick. That's Nick right,

33:14

Fox Sports one must

33:16

viewing every Monday through Friday. Yeah,

33:19

yes, this is an easy call for me. It

33:21

was sal Pal It was matt Light

33:23

before the Super Bowl. This is hands down

33:25

the most the best segment, hands down, the most

33:28

entertaining second laughs per

33:30

minute, hands down at the second the motion

33:32

okay, we were dying over by far. We had our

33:34

mics off most of the segment. We're dying okay,

33:36

segment of the year, hands down, and see

33:39

did you do something? Yeah, we circle

33:41

the trust with Nick like now, I gotta

33:44

I gotta apologize. We had a pleasant

33:46

conversation. There was nothing that seemed off the

33:48

record. There was no financial numbers

33:50

or disclosures of contracts or anything

33:52

that would have to bring it attorneys, but

33:55

he did commutely leave that out. I sent them the note

33:57

at halftime, just to make sure he's in if the Chiefs

33:59

lose, and then he sends me know, I'm going to find I told

34:02

you, okay, I did tell you. Yeah, you did

34:04

say. Wait now you did this to rich Eisend before

34:06

two, and I said, I don't want you to do that. I

34:08

took a shot at his like Michigan Wolverines also,

34:11

and I've also I've also looked at reached

34:13

out for guests thinking a game was over, and

34:15

uncomfortably the other team came back and it

34:17

was awkward. A couple of times over the years. I knew,

34:20

but I said to you, don't

34:22

do that to Nick. You said, think about reaching

34:24

out to Nick Wright, and I said, don't

34:27

do it now, because you were going to do it at halftime. I get

34:29

hyper and I'm trying to figure out things so the next

34:31

day and what time so that it doesn't affect

34:33

other guest times that I'm looking for. And I

34:35

jumped the gun because I was comfortable. That didn't

34:38

look good for the Chiefs. Nay,

34:40

thank you, Tony, We'll take a break. If you missed

34:42

Russell Wilson's comments. You could

34:44

listen to the entire interview. I think it's pretty

34:46

revealing. And that's on dan Patrick dot Com.

34:48

We'll come back with that and last call for phone

34:50

calls. We'll close up shop on this I

34:53

don't know childish show right after this. Thanks

on Fox Sports Radio and you can find

FSR or stream us live

35:09

on the Peacock app. Like him, I think

35:12

he makes that show really really interesting

35:14

and he's not afraid to have a hot

35:16

take there. We had Russell Wilson

35:18

on last hour, and you

35:21

know, we got into some deep stuff, heavier

35:24

stuff than we normally do when Russell has been on.

35:26

Because there's rumors out there. Does he want

35:28

to get involved in personnel decisions? Is

35:30

he frustrated in

35:34

our team's calling the Seahawks and seeing

35:36

if he's available in trade talks? I

35:38

ask him if he has any say in what Seattle

35:40

does offensively with free agents or draft

35:43

picks. I

35:45

think that it's you know, I think

35:47

that ultimately for me personally, you

35:49

know, I think that I want to be able to be involved

35:52

because at the end of the day, it's your legacy, it's your team's

35:54

legacy, it's you know, it's the guys

35:56

you get to go into the huddle with. And at the end of the day that

35:58

those guys you got to trust, you know, and you think

36:00

about you know, one of the reasons why Tom went

36:02

to Tampa was because he felt

36:04

like he could trust those guys and Bruce was didn't give an opportunity.

36:06

I think, I think for you know, every situation,

36:09

you have to be able to go into

36:11

a situation. You know, you think about guys

36:13

like Lebron, he was able to, you know, be around

36:15

great players that he can trust. I think for me,

36:18

you know, anytime you bring free agents and

36:20

you know are the players you want, the best players, Guys

36:22

who love the game, guys you want to be a part of that. And

36:24

as a player, you kind of know that you get to be around Pro Bowls,

36:26

you get to kind of see these guys. You get to be in the huddle

36:29

with the lineman or receivers or

36:31

you know, um get to be around defensive guys, and so

36:34

you got to you kind of build that over time and get

36:36

to see who can really play, you know, as a player, you

36:38

really know. So I think that, um, I

36:40

think that relationship is really key, and that dialogue

36:42

between you know, um, you know, especially

36:45

being a veteran player, you know that dialogue

36:47

is really important. Okay, And then I said,

36:49

that's a long winded way of not really answering my

36:51

question. And then I followed up by saying, are

36:53

you involved in personnel decisions with the Seahawks?

36:57

Not not as much? I don't, you know. I think that

36:59

uh, you know, do you want to be involved?

37:01

Russ? Yeah, I think it helps. I think it helps

37:04

to be involved more. But

37:06

I think that's that dialogue should should happen more

37:08

often in I think now, I just

37:10

saw Tom Brady in person at the super Bowl, and

37:13

Tom came in and had

37:15

a say in personnel decisions. And

37:18

here's Russell Wilson. You

37:20

know, they do have some weapons offensively,

37:22

but he has he's going to be sacked

37:24

more than any other quarterback in history when it's all said

37:26

and done. And if he wants to play

37:29

another ten years, I mean, good

37:31

luck. We'd trying to play another ten years and getting

37:33

sacked another three hundred

37:35

times. I

37:41

mean, after ten years, he's gonna be

37:43

sacked four hundred and fifty times. He's on pace for four hundred

37:45

and fifty sacks for

37:48

ten years. I mean that's crazy. But he's

37:50

averaging over forty sacks

37:52

per year. Man

37:54

crazy. All right, let me get

37:57

a couple of phone calls in here, Robin,

37:59

California, Hi, Rob, what's on your mind today?

38:02

Dan? I'm a first time long time

38:04

I've never called to the show. I

38:07

was watching watching on Peacock. That's freaking

38:10

38:12

Wright's face say that freaking

38:14

38:19

38:45

Thank you. Also watching the Nick

38:48

Wright interview and watching

38:50

Fritzie expose him on the personal text

38:52

methode I couldn't help but be

38:54

reminded of when J. J. Watt

38:57

of the Houston Texans exposed

38:59

Todd. It's on their personal text message

39:02

right before he got married. Oh

39:04

all right, well thank you, Kevin. I

39:06

refer to him as I thank you my handsome

39:09

friend or something like that. I was something playful

39:11

that was like over the line, and yes, it was ended

39:13

up becoming national attention. Like who

39:16

who says no, I get a little

39:18

flirtatious with the guests. I'm not gender specific

39:20

to who I flirt with or whatever. That's

39:23

a revelation. I

39:25

hug everybody up further with everybody to a fault,

39:27

and it's it's probably made some people

39:29

out comfortable. I know. But my handsome friend

39:31

Paul just

39:35

told a lot like can't You're

39:37

like, look, I'm all for like, yeah, go ahead, flirt with

39:39

whoever you want. I'm nothing about that, but like

39:41

not when you're at work or like you're trying

39:43

to book you know, like of MVP

39:46

caliber quarterback and you're like, hey, handsome,

39:48

what time can I expect your call? Like,

39:51

dude, just be professional, my

39:55

handsome friend, like I'm

39:58

paraphrase, there was something almost no, no

40:00

no, no, I know

40:02

that you're not paraphrasing. I might have said, like, hey,

40:04

good, look at how about th That's

40:06

so much different than my handsome friend. And

40:08

by the way, he's my hand Yes, Paulie

40:10

loves Jays. What bothers me? Not the handsome

40:12

part, the friend. Robin

40:16

Florida, Hi Rob, what's on your mind today?

40:18

Hey guys? How's it going? Oh, we're we're

40:21

good, We're good. Good. Hey listen, the Nick

40:23

Wright segment was fantastic. Of

40:25

all my Brady hater guys, he's my favorite,

40:27

um because I'm a Brady guy and I want to help him

40:29

recoup some of that money. So I have a little

40:32

bet for him because I'm also a

40:34

sports gambler. If the Chiefs win

40:36

the Super Bowl next year, I'll pay for his jackets.

40:39

But if they lose to Tom Brady and the

40:41

Buccaneers, he's got to get Patrick Mahomes

40:43

to sign it and send it to me. Oh,

40:46

well, that might be tough. Now. I don't,

40:48

I don't, I don't. I'm not gonna be the middleman on this,

40:50

but thank you, Ron. All

40:53

right, James

40:55

and Wisconsin, Hi James, what's on your mind

40:57

today? Hey? Dan? Hey James? Uh

41:01

five to eleven, two twenty. You're

41:05

talking about how many times Russ was sacked

41:07

in his career. I got a stead of a day for you.

41:10

All right, we'll get some music for you.

41:25

Dan Marino hold for

41:27

going nineteen consecutive games

41:29

without a sack, seven hundred

41:31

and fifty nine pass attempts.

41:34

All right, thank you, James, and gave

41:36

a little breathing room. That's our stab of the

41:38

day here on the Dan Patrick Show. All

41:44

righty, this day in sports history, Paulie,

41:46

what do you have for me? Let's see you got a decent

41:48

one here. Uh eight? The

41:50

first college basketball game was played Dan,

41:53

the Minnesota State School of Agriculture,

41:55

and you wanted no part of in the post. One Way defeated

41:58

the Porkers of ham Line College or

42:00

Hamlin College, go on Hamline,

42:02

Uh nine to three Porkers, Yeah,

42:05

rand in four corners after they got the nine points. It's

42:07

the name of the team, a Porkers. I don't think

42:09

it's personal. I think it has something to do with their farming community.

42:12

They banned that logo many years ago,

42:14

the Porkers two thousand nine, A Rod admitted they had

42:16

taken banned substances from two thousand and one to two

42:18

thousand and three as

42:20

a first admission. From then he had another admission. Right

42:27

Winter Games in like Placid nineteen thirty two, and
