on Fox Sports Radio. Adam

0:14

Silver knows this

0:16

is a player driven league

0:18

sports conservative unifying force. I'm

0:21

tuning in to watch a game. There is no game

0:23

change is uncomfortable. Uncomfortable maybe

0:25

to yourself and to a lot of other people. You know, Black

0:27

Lives Matter has kind of been

0:29

lost to her. Players want

0:32

more done on voting issues.

0:34

Players want more done on

0:37

police reforms. I don't know if we're

0:39

reacting the way that the players

0:41

had hoped we would react. If you're going to be a

0:44

beacon of light, you've got to go all day. Welcome

0:46

to the Dan Patrick Show. How much

0:48

pressure do you think is on Lebron right now? So it's

0:51

a lot of pressure. Everyone is expecting

0:53

you to lead the way certain

0:55

people are built to handle it. Were broadcasting

0:57

from the Mercedes Man Caves

1:27

sliance The Dan Patrick Show. We're officially

1:29

on Peacock starting Monday.

1:31

Just letting everybody know we've been watching

1:34

for the last few months on YouTube. Thank

1:36

you for your support, and I hope you'll join us with

1:38

our new partners at Peacock. We say good

1:40

morning to our great radio affiliates. We're up to three

1:42

hundred and sixty two around the country. McLevin,

1:45

what's pull question for the final hour? Okay?

1:48

Do you want to go NBA here or NFL?

1:51

NFL? NFL? Okay,

1:53

it's a little early, No, it's not.

1:56

We're thirteen days away, and

1:58

I think we I had two

2:00

NFL questions that I wrote down. Do

2:03

we start talking about who the favorite offer the Super

2:05

Bowl pick? But I really wanted to do who's

2:07

the favorite to get the number one pick? Off of the

2:10

Joe brow the Joe Burrow conversation.

2:12

Do you have any teams that you're already willing to

2:14

say are in big trouble? Might say Jacksonville

2:17

is I don't know how

2:19

good Washington's going to be and then you have the

2:21

health status of Ron Rivera.

2:25

The second questions are all these teams are

2:27

some of them tanking? Do you think that that's in

2:30

play? Maybe front office tanking

2:32

kind of. I

2:34

don't know if Carolina is tanking because

2:37

they did bring in Teddy. You

2:42

got rid of some players, you

2:45

had some players leaving on their

2:47

own, retiring Jacksonville.

2:50

If I'm Jacksonville, I would be tanking the

2:53

best I could because if you can get

2:55

Trevor Lawrence in Jacksonville, now

2:58

you got that signature face for the franchise.

3:00

I like Gardner Minshew, but I

3:03

don't think he's a franchise quarterback. He's

3:05

a great story. But you can get

3:07

Trevor Lawrence, now you got

3:10

you got something to start with here. And you

3:12

have to have a great quarterback. I mean

3:14

it's it's rare if you're going to

3:16

be successful and you don't have a quality quarterback,

3:19

a great quarterback. Yeah. Point

3:21

Carolina. They let everybody go. They lost

3:23

the last eight games of the season, and there's three

3:25

playoff contenders in their division.

3:28

They could I would think three wins for

3:30

them, and if they're the new owner, Teddy

3:33

Bridgewater is like an in between

3:35

quarterback that didn't sink a lot of dough into him. It's Trevor

3:37

Lawrence. Yeah, he's a band aid. Yeah, and if

3:40

you could get him in Carolina that would

3:42

be awesome. So somebody one

3:44

of those two teams Washington

3:46

they have Dwayne Haskins. But if they would end

3:48

up with the worst record, I don't think they would,

3:51

you know, think twice about not going after

3:54

Trevor Lawrence or Justin Field. Yeah. I'm a club,

3:57

but we never know. It's hard to predict. Yeah,

3:59

he's like, we didn't know Cincinnati it was going to be

4:01

the number one pick. They've never been up in that

4:03

mix. They had number one. No,

4:06

I mean like they hadn't. They weren't. They

4:08

weren't coming in as like the team they

4:10

had Dalton and aj Green and a bunch of veterans.

4:12

Nobody thought that they were going to go oh

4:15

and eleven today. So it's always a sum.

4:17

Well, I don't I don't think too many people are surprised

4:19

the Bengals weren't good. Yeah,

4:22

but they weren't. Like usually it's the same couple teams.

4:24

It's them, you know, who's been

4:26

one and two the last years, like the Lions

4:28

and the Giants,

4:30

and you know we knew all those

4:33

bets. Like if you look at this year's like I'm

4:35

looking at the odds right now, the worst teams

4:37

are Jacksonville, Washington, Cincinnati,

4:40

Carolina, Jets, Giants, Like we

4:42

know those guys are all going to be possibly

4:44

in the mix. But it was like the Jets

4:46

were weird last year, like they were

4:48

surprisingly better than you think they should

4:50

have been last year. And I

4:53

don't know if you can name more than three or

4:55

four players on that team right now, and

4:59

that includes Sam Arnold and Levi on Bell.

5:02

It's just I don't know. But

5:05

in that division this year, you know you might stand

5:08

a chance because maybe New England's not as formidable,

5:11

Miami is going to be competitive.

5:13

Buffalo probably the class

5:15

there. The guy

5:17

that I'm really curious about, believe it or not, of

5:19

all the players in the NFL this year, you

5:23

guys want to take a guess, Yes,

5:26

mc Kyler, Murray Kyler Murray, No,

5:30

Fritzie, I don't know why Matthew Stafford

5:32

came to mind. No, you're not not

5:35

curious about Matthew Stafford, But

5:38

thank you for being curious about Matthew Stafford.

5:40

Yes, PAULI, I'm going deep dive here and saying

5:43

Derek Carr of the reader, Oh no,

5:46

Setan O'Connor. Who am I?

5:49

Of all the players this year, this

5:51

is the guy that I'm really interested in, and

5:54

it is a quarterback. Lamar Jackson, Lamar

5:57

Jackson, No, mclovin, Ryan

5:59

Tannehill No, oh, Paulie, Samuel

6:01

Darnold, No, Cam Newton no,

6:05

No, Thomas Brady no, Carson

6:10

Wentz no not Yan Nick

6:13

Foles? No. Oh

6:15

our guy? The Rams quarterback? No? No?

6:19

Who else is there? Russell? No?

6:22

No? Is

6:24

it a CFL quarterback? Ben? Is

6:26

it a starter? Ben Roethlisberger coming

6:31

back from this injury? Have a fun game by kind

6:33

of I know, kind of reddicating,

6:36

all right, I'm thinking of one running back

6:38

here. I'm no something blue,

6:41

Ben Roethlisberger. I find fascinating

6:44

because you have a really good

6:46

defense boarding on a great

6:48

defense there, and if Ben

6:50

is able to kind of recapture who he once

6:52

was, rededicating himself. You

6:56

know, the Steelers can be a

6:58

force. They can be formidable here. I

7:01

don't know. They're not as good as

7:03

the Ravens are, but I think

7:05

that they can be challenging

7:07

to them, and I just I'm curious

7:09

about Roethlisberger because he doesn't have many

7:12

seasons left and we'll

7:14

hit. By all accounts, he rededicated

7:17

himself to be coming back better

7:20

shape, had a conversation with his wife about

7:22

Hey, I'm gonna come back, I'm gonna play. I'm not going to retire

7:25

because I was a pretty devastating injury

7:27

to his throwing arm. And I'm

7:29

really curious about Ben Roethlisberger. Yeah, mclub,

7:32

what's your thumb? They'll take on the Cleveland Browns.

7:34

They remember all the hype last year. We haven't talked about

7:36

them much at all. I wasn't in on the hype

7:38

last year. I'm in on the hype

7:40

this year. The Browns will

7:43

make the playoffs and

7:45

I will do a you

7:47

guys want to do a wheel of punishment, shower

7:50

of shame, I'm more than happy to do that.

7:52

If you don't think the Cleveland Browns will make the plaoffs,

7:55

I'm not gonna say they're gonna win the division.

7:58

Yes, mcle you just burned us

8:00

on a shower shame three days. I know I'm nervous.

8:04

You burg Us bad Dad, and I gotta wait

8:06

for the Blazers and the Lakers to play.

8:09

And uh, because Seton took the Blazers

8:11

double or nothing to beat the Lakers in the next

8:13

game. It got postponed because

8:16

PAULI goes, hey, I think Seton's got a loophole here

8:18

he go, No, he doesn't it. The game

8:20

wasn't canceled, it was postponed. I

8:22

believe it was supposed to be that night. What

8:24

happened? Yeah,

8:27

nights try. Yeah. Now he gets Lillard

8:29

back on the court for that game. Brilliant.

8:34

It's a double or nothing. But if he loses,

8:37

then he gets two pies to the face. And

8:39

he doesn't know when he's getting those pots here

8:41

playing chess man, he guys playing checkers. Yeah,

8:45

he saw the whole thing coming. Uh.

8:48

College football this weekend. Let's

8:51

go pee Austin p versus

8:54

Central Arkansas Saturday

8:56

night. They're both ranked in the FCS rankings,

8:59

and I will be watching. I don't

9:01

know what it's gonna be like. I don't know if they're letting

9:03

any fans in there, but I will be watching.

9:05

On Saturday night, We're gonna talk to

9:07

North Dakota State's head coach Matt

9:10

Entz. The reason why I'm having him on is

9:12

North Dakota State has scheduled one

9:15

game this season. Now

9:17

this helps them practice as well. You get more

9:19

hours if you're gonna have a season. So

9:21

I think it goes from twelve to twenty

9:23

or something like that. But he's got

9:26

a great quarterback and Trey

9:28

Lance expected to be

9:30

a first round draft pick, and this is a

9:32

showcase game for him. But

9:35

I think there's a lot at stake here. What

9:37

if he doesn't play well, because

9:40

right now he's in that little

9:42

cocoon where you go, oh,

9:44

man, I'm hearing this guy's great, Like

9:46

he's done just enough to get on your radar,

9:49

and not just enough where you

9:52

go, yeah, I saw him. He's not that great.

9:55

That's the perfect place to be. It's

9:57

like the quarterback who like Dwayne Haskins,

10:01

you know, don't stay, go Mark

10:04

Sanchez. You get to that point where

10:06

you go, Kyler Murray, just go.

10:09

You don't want to over stay. You

10:13

don't want to I don't you know Matt Leiners

10:15

stayed the next your year and

10:17

ended up dropping whatever ten eleven

10:20

spots there. You don't want to overstay.

10:22

You're welcome in college football at that position,

10:24

but we'll talk to coach coming up

10:26

here. Also, this is something that Roger Goodell

10:29

and I'm sure that people on Park

10:31

Avenue are discussing

10:34

right now because we're thirteen days

10:36

away from the start of the NFL season, and

10:39

by all accounts, everything is good. We

10:42

have had the NFL

10:44

put this out. The NFL confirms zero

10:47

positive COVID test among players from

10:49

August twelfth through August twentieth.

10:52

Great news. There's one player

10:55

on the Jacksonville Jaguars. I

10:57

think it's Ryan Pope, and

10:59

he is in the COVID

11:02

testing quarantine. But that's

11:04

it. But here's the thing that the

11:07

commissioner has got a troubleshoot here

11:09

and it is going to be a

11:11

front burner issue. Jim Trotter,

11:14

great NFL reporter, tweeted out NFL

11:17

owners should be careful. A

11:20

few prominent black players are telling

11:22

me they want to sit out a game to make

11:24

their feelings felt and force change

11:27

slash action. They're tired, frustrated,

11:29

and emotional. It's only a few at this point,

11:31

but sparks become flames, in flames

11:34

become infernos. That's from Jim Trotter. Thirteen

11:37

days away what

11:40

is your game plan if you're the commissioner and the owners,

11:43

And is there a chance you're going to have marquee players

11:45

who will sit out a game because

11:48

there's a lot of pressure that's going to build on them.

11:52

Hey, the NBA did this, the w NBA

11:54

did this, some players in the NHL

11:57

did this, some players in baseball did this. Mookie

12:00

Match did this with the Dodgers. What

12:02

are you going to do in the NFL? And

12:04

if you're a prominent player in the NFL, how do

12:06

you answer that? And

12:10

I think that's going to be a real

12:12

topic here in the next week

12:15

to ten days. Really do Yeah, I

12:17

did notice one thing about this. There's a lot of headlines

12:20

out there sae Quon Barkley amongst

12:22

Giants players talking about boycotting Leek

12:24

one. He was He and Sterling

12:26

Shepherd were asked about it in a

12:29

zoom call like an access all media access

12:31

call. It wasn't an announcement or a proclamation

12:34

by Saquon Barkley or Sterling Shepherd. They would ask

12:36

would you guys consider not playing?

12:39

And they said they did not rule it out. He

12:41

said, I can't speak on behalf of myself

12:43

in the whole league. But it's something we are going

12:45

to talk about. He didn't say we have talked

12:47

about it, We've planned this, We've had

12:50

meetings about it. It It was a response to a question

12:52

more so than a declaration, which is

12:54

not being portrayed that way in some media. Yeah, Ton,

12:56

and do the Packers in particular fuelated pressure

12:59

the way the Milwaukee did as far as all

13:01

the teams. Maybe, Yeah, I'm

13:03

gonna I'm gonna say yes. I think it's a smart

13:05

point to bring up. By the way, I brought up

13:07

the Jets that they were surprisingly better

13:09

than people. Remember my good friend Ethan

13:11

who does our stats. You guys know Ethan. The

13:18

Jets were number seven in total defense last

13:20

year, number two in rush defense. In their

13:23

last eight games, they were six and two and allowed

13:25

only eighteen and a half points per game. Yeah,

13:27

mclem it's a little perspective. One of the two

13:30

was a twenty two six loss to the N

13:32

eleven Bengals in December where

13:34

they squorit six points on the number thirty two ranked

13:36

defense in the league. I'm not

13:38

it's blown away by them. That is stats

13:41

smack talk. There. Take that, Ethan.

13:44

I love that. Nerd

13:46

On nerd crime right there.

13:49

Well done, McLevin, Well

13:51

done. Let's see

13:53

how Ethan responds two.

13:57

I don't know what that means. And you, is that what it

13:59

is? A two brute to brute.

14:02

They'll throw a little Shakespeare out there. Shakespeare

14:05

overrated? Oh really?

14:07

Yeah? Yeah, Bill was overrated.

14:10

Yeah, I told you. I read that book

14:12

Who Wrote Shakespeare? And it's

14:14

fascinating because it's

14:17

like a group of writers wrote under I think

14:20

under the name William Shakespeare. I think

14:22

there was William Shakespeare, but it's spelled

14:24

differently down through history. He's a Mellie Vanilli

14:27

of classic Wow. I don't know if it's that, but

14:30

I think they kind of wrote under

14:32

the pseudonym or the pen name

14:35

of William Shakespeare. He asked

14:37

me club, you're secretly the biggest nerd here. You'll come

14:39

in and be like, oh, I saw this six hour play at

14:41

BAM. Now that was that was an eight hour play

14:44

mclovin. Yeah, and that's where they read The Great

14:46

Gatsby. The entire play was reading

14:48

The Great Gatsby. Yeah,

14:51

but that's what you do when you're in love. Oh

14:53

so okay, so you're you're pushed into that. Oh

14:56

yeah, yeah. My wife said,

14:59

I got this great. We'll go into the city

15:01

and we're gonna watch this play and it's

15:03

it's called The Great gats And I go, okay, who's

15:06

in it? Oh? Nobody, you know, But I said,

15:08

well, what's great about it? They read

15:10

the Great Gatsby, and I go, and

15:13

what else that's it? And

15:16

I go okay. And so

15:18

we got in there and all of a sudden, Toby

15:21

Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio are sitting

15:24

one row in front of us,

15:28

and Toby stayed for the entire thing. DiCaprio

15:32

tapped out halfway through, Yes, how

15:34

did you stay a week? Don't?

15:36

I don't mean that it's like any type of slight about

15:39

the Great gats people, but just when people are reading, you just

15:41

tend to fall asleep. Well,

15:43

once again, when you're in love. I

15:46

gave my undivided attention, but

15:49

we had to Leo. But we had a dinner

15:51

break. So you have like

15:54

three and a half hours and then you have a dinner

15:56

break where we went to a restaurant

15:58

around the corner Howlong with the break. It

16:00

was like an hour dinner break. How do you psych

16:02

yourself up to get back in that chair to sit down and

16:04

listen to them read more. You go, you get some food,

16:06

you got a full belly. Now you're really tired because you probably

16:08

had a drink. And I like, right, all right, let's go sit

16:10

down again and then the more reading and then I and then

16:12

my wife goes, come on, if Leonardo DiCaprio

16:15

is going to sit through the second half. I walked

16:17

in and he had bailed, and

16:19

I said, hey, DiCaprio bailed,

16:22

like, so I should be able to leave. He

16:24

went through three girlfriends in the course of the night.

16:28

Yes, Todd, did you take any occasional peaks at

16:30

your wife just to make sure she into this as

16:33

much she was? Really she thought it was fascina.

16:35

She thought it was fascinating. Yeah,

16:38

I could have told you Gatsby dies at the end. Spoiler

16:40

alert. The book came out of nineteen twenty. I could

16:42

say that, yeah, but I

16:44

didn't know that because I didn't read The Great Guy. You didn't

16:46

have to do that one in high school. I actually, I'm not bragging.

16:48

I had to read it in high school. No,

16:51

I think I got through Boe Wolf and that was about

16:54

it. I got it.

16:56

Not good? What's

16:59

that one the guy about that chocolate salesman

17:01

or something. There's some kind of famous book about a guy

17:03

that sells chocolate. That's

17:06

the kind of school I went to. I

17:09

love that was a Johnny

17:11

Depp movie. Oh, no, you know I'm thinking about water

17:13

for chocolate. No, you know, I don't think I'm thinking of the death

17:15

of a salesman. Chocolate

17:20

salesman. It was called death of a Chocolate sales Yeah,

17:22

the whole different market. No,

17:25

you know what it actually is. Oh my god, I

17:27

can't believe. I just remember that. Um

17:29

in my class the it

17:32

was death of a Salesman. And my English

17:34

teacher's husband was

17:37

a salesman for Hershey's,

17:39

and people would say, death of a hershey salesman.

17:42

What a terrible joke, What a

17:45

terrible joke. Wow, okay, I haven't thought of that

17:47

in thirty years, well maybe

17:49

twenty five. Sorry

17:51

sidebar. Yeah what Oh I think

17:53

you're talking about. The two thousand indie film

17:56

18:43

bagel situation? Yes?

18:45

Everybody does, Setan

18:48

not really, but he's been teasing it to for

18:50

four straight days. Because this

18:53

is the third straight day that he sent me an

18:55

email saying, hey, bagel

18:58

nightmare story in my back pocket and

19:02

okay after I've oversawd

19:04

it at this point, but it's with me, you know what, After we

19:06

talk some football with the North Dakota State

19:10

bagel story. Alrighty twenty

R. We have college football this

19:36

weekend. I'll be watching Saturday night

19:39

Austin p VERSUS Central

19:41

Arkansas. These

19:43

are two good teams. They're ranked

19:46

FCS, but when it comes to the

19:48

FCS, it's North Dakota State sixteen

19:51

and O last year beat James Madison to win

19:53

the title again and Matt Ens is their head coach

19:55

who joins us this morning. Good morning, coach,

19:57

how are you. I'm good, Dan, Thanks

19:59

for having having me on today. All right, explain

20:02

to me you're playing one game this

20:04

year? Now? Was

20:06

there any thought, any hope, any chance

20:08

of playing more than one game this year? Well,

20:11

originally it was our intent when

20:13

our conference allowed us to play three non conference

20:16

in the fall. Our administration

20:18

was trying to find those three games, and we probably

20:20

went through six or seven options

20:23

and it just became extremely difficult. As you see,

20:25

our geographical location doesn't allow

20:27

for many road or just bus trips to

20:30

play people, and so we're fortunate

20:32

to come up with the one game. I

20:34

know you mentioned at sixteen and old last year. But

20:37

the one thing about NDSC we got great tradition, great

20:39

history, We played football here

20:41

and so we needed to have at least one game this fall

20:44

any Division One teams. I know you were slated

20:46

to open up with Oregon, I believe, but any have

20:48

you heard from any other schools that wanted to

20:50

schedule you? Not at this time

20:53

we have. There was always conversation,

20:55

there was what ifs, but we never had anything

20:58

really in stone leading

21:00

up to this game against at Central Arkansas. What

21:03

does playing one game allow you to do as

21:05

a coach, Well, what it's going to allow

21:07

us to do here moving forward is we're going to get six

21:09

weeks of twenty hour rule. That's

21:12

going to enable us to continue to coach our kids,

21:14

practice on the field, get our

21:16

young kids indoctrinated into what it takes

21:18

to be a Bison, and more importantly,

21:21

it's going to help us prepare for our eight

21:23

game season that we intend to have in the spring. All

21:26

right, You're going to play this game on October third

21:28

at home against Central Arkansas. Correct?

21:31

All right? So you'll be watching that game

21:33

on Saturday night with Austin, pe and c

21:35

for sure. Definitely we'll be watching. Okay,

21:38

a lot what came out about

21:40

the You're going to play one game. Is that

21:42

Trey Lance is your star quarterback through

21:44

what twenty eight touchdowns no interceptions last

21:47

year and is moving up the draft

21:49

boards here, How important is this?

21:51

Is this a showcase game for Trey

21:54

Lance in your opinion? It's

21:56

funny you bring that up. We just had a team meeting yesterday

21:59

and we talked about the exact same conversation

22:01

our local media, national media have

22:04

talked about. They've used the word showcase off

22:06

and I told our players this

22:08

game is not about one player or

22:11

one individual. Our program's bigger

22:13

than me. It's bigger than any one individual on

22:15

our football team. This is about the Bison

22:17

and it's about the Bison trying to continue

22:20

the tradition we've had, the

22:22

level of excellence that we've tried to play with over the

22:24

course of the last ten years. We're

22:26

trying to find ways to continue to get better. And

22:29

it happens that we have a couple of really good football

22:31

players along the way, But they're just

22:33

parts of the program and we're going to

22:35

move forward trying to win this game and get

22:38

better along the way. Yeah, but there's a lot

22:40

of stake. It feels like if it is framed

22:42

as showcasing Trey Lands. If

22:44

he doesn't play well, that

22:47

that could have an impact. Even if he does

22:49

play well, people are probably going to say

22:51

well as against Central Arkansas at home.

22:53

So I didn't know if it was in

22:56

your mind going to be It felt like

22:58

people are overthinking this to say

23:00

they're basically having a pro day for

23:02

Trey Lance against Central Arkansas in October.

23:06

Now, that was never our intent. Our intent

23:08

was to have a game where we could get the entire

23:10

football team ready to play a game in October.

23:13

If I had not seen Trey Lance play,

23:16

how would you describe him? Unbelievably

23:20

calm poised football player, has

23:23

as great mobility, has an unbelievably

23:26

strong arm, can make all the FROs on the football

23:28

field, you know, and his

23:30

biggest factor or the biggest positive

23:33

is above the shoulders. He's an extremely intelligent

23:36

young man, has a lot of room to continue

23:38

to grow and develop and learn. But

23:40

where he's at right now is very impressive

23:42

as a as a twenty year old college quarterback.

23:45

Did any Division team Division one team

23:48

try to get him to transfer, Not

23:50

that I'm aware of now, Dan,

23:52

As you know, there's a there's a lot of bat

23:55

phones there's a lot of dms that probably happened

23:57

that the head coach never gets a

23:59

chance to hear about. But um, that

24:02

is always a concern at our institution because

24:04

of the quality of athletes we have in the

24:06

development that we put into our kids. What

24:09

do you think he does better than Trevor Lawrence and justin

24:11

fields? He's

24:14

the best Trey Lance that I know. I'm not in

24:16

I'm not here to compare to other quarterbacks. I know

24:18

that he has a great skill

24:20

set. Um, I know that there's

24:23

a huge conversation going on right

24:25

now where he fits in the NFL draft, And

24:28

all I know is he's He's NDSU's

24:30

first round draft pick right now, and we're

24:33

going to continue to win games, and we anticipate winning

24:35

games with Trey in the future. Yeah, are you going to

24:37

be getting some phone calls though? There have

24:39

you already gotten phone calls on on Trey

24:42

from NFL scount We

24:44

have, We've, we've and we're fortunate

24:46

now at NDSU. Our product

24:48

on the field has been good enough that we have thirty

24:51

two NFL teams come through our fall camp

24:53

and through spraying every year, and so they've

24:55

all kept track of Trey

24:57

but we've also myself.

25:00

I've reached out to probably a half dozen NFL

25:02

gms and had some one on one conversation

25:05

just where he falls, because I see it as part

25:07

of my job as a head football coach, not to influence

25:10

his decision, but to make sure he has all the

25:12

information necessary to make the best decision

25:14

for him and his family. I gotta get up to Fargo.

25:17

I gotta get up there to a game. Well,

25:19

there's a game October three. I don't know why

25:21

you want. I don't

25:23

know if I could get there though, coach. But um,

25:25

if I if I hit town, where am I eating when

25:28

I get to Fargo? Oh,

25:31

there's a there's a nice place downtown

25:33

called Messalunas. I feel like steak.

25:35

There's a place in West Fargo called Maxwell's

25:38

another great steak place. Um, that's

25:40

one thing about Fargo, unbelievable

25:43

downtown. You'd enjoy it, then you

25:45

would fit right in. I don't know if anyone would even recognize

25:47

you. Oh well, then I don't want to go.

25:49

I need to be recognized here, Coach. I

25:52

was I was hoping for a parade or something.

25:54

Well, we can get that's Uh. There's

25:57

always the option of a coin toss. Oh,

26:00

that I would be there to do

26:03

the one with the coin we could, we could

26:05

sure talk to people about Okay, I would

26:07

like to ride in on a bison, though there's

26:10

those around town as well. Okay, all right,

26:12

fair enough, what do you mention these days? You

26:15

know, I probably around three hundred.

26:17

Still, I still like to get in the weight room occasionally.

26:20

All right, all right, all right, throw it around

26:22

with your with your boys in there.

26:24

Well, I have two teenage high school

26:27

football players and they actually have their first

26:29

game tonight, so h during

26:31

quarantine, I got an opportunity to lift quite

26:33

a bit with my boys. It's great to see you.

26:35

Thank you, and good luck that game

26:37

we'll be watching, and thanks for joining us, and congrats

26:40

on all the great success up there. Thank you.

26:42

I appreciate it. Dan, that's Matt MC's

26:44

North Dakota State head

26:46

coach. Yeah, they just win championships

26:48

there. We go back to when Carson Wentz

26:50

was there, and I remember Paulie coming in and

26:53

paul is created at singling

26:55

out these quarterbacks like Russell

26:57

Wilson went to Wisconsin. When Jimmy Garoppolo

27:00

was it Eastern Illinois. We would come

27:02

in and we would just nerd out. We'd

27:04

be like little, you know, giddy schoolgirls.

27:08

We're talking about Carson. Did you see

27:10

Carson Wentz. He's so good. He can

27:13

do do it all. He can run, he can pack. And

27:15

Russell Wilson, I don't care they say he's

27:17

too short. He's not Jimmy Garoppolo.

27:20

He's really good at You gotta watch Eastern Illinois

27:22

like it feels like

27:24

we do that every year. Then Easton Stick

27:26

at North Dakota State probably goes Eastern stick

27:28

Man. He can play mostly based on his name, as

27:31

my breakdown had a great name. Easton

27:33

Stick. Yeah, but these fcs

27:35

I still call one games are so much fun they

27:37

play. You know, you get up there in Montana or Eastern

27:40

Washington and there's some weather. Maine

27:42

Black Bears, a lot of those teams they play out and

27:44

there's not you know, they can't clean the field

27:46

perfectly on a November day. And

27:48

by the way, Matt Entz, they better hold on to that

27:50

guy. Yeah, they're better lock him down. Yeah,

27:53

didn't they have? Was it bowls? Who went

27:56

to Colorado for North Dakota

27:58

State. Feels like they've had a they'll

28:00

they'll keep going Yeah, it's

28:02

quite an atmosphere there, and

28:04

that's a great home field advantage.

28:07

All right, let me get a couple of phone calls in here.

28:09

I used to talk some football there with coach.

28:11

By the way, it's a meat Friday and that means the triggers

28:13

are fired up. You can

28:15

take your game day to the next level visiting

28:17

your local trailer trigger dealer heading

28:20

to trigger girls dot com slash deepe

28:22

show. Todd has his bagel

28:25

nightmare story. He just emailed me again that

28:27

he would like to tell that story. So Todd,

28:29

walk us through your bagel nightmare story.

28:32

And I will preface

28:35

this by saying, should

28:37

we be hearing this as we get

28:39

ready for our meat Friday

28:42

clam bake. No, it's nothing gross. It's

28:45

something that became very disappointed. Okay, all

28:47

right, So here is Todd Fritz with his

28:50

bagel nightmare story. I have a question for

28:52

us. Can I name the company or that could be a future sponsor?

28:54

We should leave the compy have Is it necessary

28:56

to name that? I don't think so. Like

28:59

a bagel I did say them a note yesterday complaining

29:01

about the situation that I'm experiencing in

29:03

my town. How about just a bagel chain.

29:06

Yeah, that's fair well known bagel chains. How's

29:08

that? Okay? Okay. So I'm going home from work

29:10

Tuesday. I'm having a craving for a bagel,

29:12

or in my case, a couple of bagels. So I go into the drive

29:15

through and if I asked for, you

29:17

know, an onion bagel with cream chrees, they stopped me right

29:19

there and saying that we don't have any onion bagels. I'm like, all

29:21

right, you know that happens. You run out of bagels. Sometimes it's

29:23

two thirty in the afternoon or whatever and it's been open

29:25

since five six in the morning. You run out of certain types of bagels.

29:28

So then I asked for a garlic bagel. Didn't have that either,

29:30

so I was disappointed about that. Then I go

29:32

to h all right, then how about a sessam and they

29:34

stopped me again, no sessame bagels. So

29:37

kind of sarcastically, and I've been known to be

29:39

a little sarcastic slash passing regress, like, why

29:41

don't you tell me what bagels you do have and

29:44

we will go from there? Is what I said. I don't know if that sounded

29:46

rude, but I'm over three in the bagels that I was with question,

29:48

how did you say it? Though, I'll

29:50

tell you, wh why don't we do this? Why don't you tell me what bagels

29:52

you do have and then we can Why don't we do this?

29:54

Is that's like a jerky I would

29:57

say. I was. I was very hungry, and I was very frustrated

29:59

that three bagel in a row they don't have. I

30:01

did say it a little sarcastic. So

30:03

then I go on to say, okay, so I'll have tuna

30:06

on and before I could ask for the fourth type of bagel

30:08

that they may or may not have, we don't have tuna. So

30:11

like, this is like getting ridicular. I thought I was being so I

30:13

said in a not so nice term. It's like, oh, you

30:15

gotta be kidding me, right, that's that's a little not nice

30:18

to say that, Like is this a joke? Are you kidding

30:20

me? I've asked for a sesame bagel, I've asked

30:22

for an onion bagel, I've asked for a garlic bagel. I've asked

30:24

for tuna. None of those things they have. So

30:26

I'm feeling like I'm going to the pizza place and the thing

30:29

that they don't have slice of pizza or something like that. So

30:31

anyway, moving on, I asked for those bagels.

30:33

They don't have that. So I'm like, okay, why don't you just

30:36

give me? You know, I got an egg sausage and cheddar on a

30:38

plain bagel, and I called it quits.

30:40

I go around the corner and I said, you know again,

30:42

because I couldn't leave that alone because I look forward to a nice

30:44

onion bagel. So I said, what's the deal with

30:46

the you know, so, you just ran out of onion bagels? Always?

30:49

Oh, not only did they run out of onion bagels, they're discontinuing

30:52

making onion bagels. So I proceeded

30:54

to get even more sarcastic when I found out that tuna

30:57

and onion bagels are now off the menu at

30:59

this bagel place. I don't if it's just my town or

31:01

the whole chain they're shutting down. She said,

31:03

tuna, chicken, and onion bagels

31:05

for some reason are not being made anymore by

31:08

this bagel store. Yes, point, I just have a quick

31:10

question to set the scene. Are you arguing

31:12

with the president of the company, the ordering

31:14

person that the headquarters hold on, or of

31:16

seventeen year old high school girls taking

31:18

your oats a very good point. This was by a teenage

31:20

girl. And I just was just flustered, and I didn't

31:23

even care who the recipient of my wrath

31:25

was and my frustration that this was going on. And

31:27

I said, so, what's going on? So you've r ran out on you? Bagels?

31:29

Goes, We're not making onion bagels anymore, no tuna

31:32

and no chicken. They're all gone from the menu. So

31:34

sarcastically, I couldn't let it go, I say, and

31:36

so that the manager who was behind her can hear me, I

31:39

said, so, is this like pandemic related?

31:41

What would what would COVID have to do with making onion

31:43

bagels or two? No, No, we're just not

31:45

having that on the menu anymore. And

31:47

those are two things I really look forward to night, tuna

31:50

on a bagel and onion bagel with creamchees

31:52

onion bagels and tuna and chicken no longer

31:54

available at this bagel plate. I

31:57

don't know if I lived up to the hype of the west Ports. Sorry,

32:00

yeah, if they didn't have it, I thought they were like punking. I thought I

32:02

was part of some kind of TikTok, or someone was filming

32:05

something that they didn't have the sesame bagel

32:07

or the onion bagel or the grock bagel, they didn't have

32:09

tuna, and that there's not making onion bagels

32:11

and tuna ever again. Yes, I think this

32:13

is actually just a preview of Todd's new stand

32:16

up. That's essentially

32:18

what going to watch him do stand up was exactly.

32:20

That's the same amount of reaction laughed at, no

32:23

jokes, but a funny story. Well

32:25

it's it's a long story, and then there's no

32:27

ending. It's it was O was

32:29

an experience that I had. I don't know it. I

32:32

didn't sell it as part of a comedy routine that

32:34

I wanted to share this and I was really upset and I

32:36

still am. I the whole time I drove

32:38

home. I'm looking at my facial expression in the river because

32:40

I was getting like lightheaded. Yes,

32:43

so somebody in chat Rome has made a

32:45

wonderful observation. Brandon

32:47

in Florida. He said, I love the places Fritzie

32:50

chooses to breathe in his sentences, because

32:54

this is running through all of these

32:56

because I like a nice sending bagel. I'm very much looking

32:58

forward to one, and that Polly has

33:01

to tell Todd sometimes to slow

33:03

down. Like you when you're you

33:05

blow right through the breathing stop signs,

33:08

I rather through about four Polly stop signs. Yes,

33:10

calm down, yeah, toy. When you go to breakfast

33:12

restaurants mid afternoon, there is a chance

33:15

that they'll be out of the product. I accepted

33:17

the first one, and then the second one, and then it became like four

33:20

different babes who they're not gonna make onion bagels

33:22

in isn't that a pretty popular bait? If you're playing family feud

33:25

and name top five bagels. It's not gonna be

33:27

like pumpernickel or raisin, you

33:29

know, blueberry whatever. Wouldn't onion bagel

33:31

be one of the main bagels? Probably? It's like pepperoni,

33:33

for isn't that one of the main things you would get

33:36

on a slice of pizza? Pepperoni? That's how I look

33:38

at onion bagels. If you're not gonna get a plaine bagel

33:40

is an onion bagel, why would they stop making

33:42

onion baggles? Yeah, but the girl who's working

33:44

there doing with this, but I'm

33:47

off, but you yelled at her. I'm

33:49

I'm giving all these different syston. Could I have this bagel?

33:51

No, we have this bagel? No, I have this bagel. No, but it's not her

33:54

fault. I know I needed an explanation, and

33:56

the manager was no because she turned to the manager

33:58

said he wants to know if it's panned because of the

34:00

pandemic though, and I'm making onion bagels

34:02

are tuned anymore? Who ever heard of such a thing? Why

34:04

is chicken and tuna and onion bagels band from

34:07

this bagel place? What's a chicken bagel?

34:09

I don't know. I guess that they have different meats. You can get a turkey

34:11

sandwich, can get you never had a chicken flavored

34:13

bagels. I didn't care about the chicken, but tuna and that

34:15

hit home for me. No onion bagels ever again in this

34:18

in this bagel place, and this has now become my

34:20

nightmare bagel. It's also a small town

34:22

with it's not like eleven other bagel It's either dunkin Donuts

34:25

or this bagel place. And you're my caring I'm not in like in

34:27

a major city. Yes, you know, Todd,

34:30

you not being able to have two salty

34:32

Doughey huge bagels

34:34

best after skipping breakfast and lunch. It's

34:36

probably the best thing that ever had, right. It's it's carbs

34:39

that I definitely don't need, and I could probably a

34:41

gluten free diet with my crones. You

34:45

want to enter this. This

34:47

is the worst story I've ever heard in my entire life.

34:49

And they didn't have an onion bagel

34:51

that they're not that they ran out of. They're discontinuing

34:54

onion bagels. They're not making onion bagels ever

34:56

again. And they're not gonna

34:58

have tuna fish ever again. And has nothing

35:00

to do with COVID nineteen or anything going on in the

35:02

world. They just found they just took it off the

35:04

menu, onion bagels. Do you realize this

35:07

is almost engaged and passionate

35:10

you have been Wow, what did I wing it on the Broncos Titans

35:12

against the seventeen years I've known

35:14

you? Onion bagel? What

35:16

is in an onion discontinued until further

35:18

note that comes up with such a thing? Is that? What? That seems

35:21

very random? You know, no more poppy seed, We're gonna

35:23

take out a break no more. I

35:25

don't understand. I know you want

35:27

to take a break. I know, but you can talk

35:29

during the break I have. I can't

35:31

some audience anymore for an onion

35:34

bagel, cream juice. That's out off the that's off the plate.

35:36

Now. I'm sorry. I might be on an island, but I

35:38

loved that story. I loved it, fantastic,

35:40

I love I absolutely loved everything

35:43

touches. It's continuing the bagels. Not that we're

35:45

out of onion bagels. We're not making them

35:47

ever again. An onion bait. Okay,

35:51

no longer on the man. We're gonna take a break

35:54

35:56

bit. Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick

for being patient trying to figure

36:24

goes out to the memory of lud Olsen, the great

36:26

Arizona head coach, who just passed away at the

36:28

age of eighty five. During

36:33

the commercial break, we're trying to wrap our head around

36:36

Todd's story is section

36:38

Roe bagels story. It's

36:41

a true story there that's

36:44

just animated, angry passionate as I've

36:46

heard you about anything in a

36:48

long time. How you would think it would be about a sports topic.

36:50

It isn't three hour sports show, but it was the bagel

36:53

thing. But do you feel like you're in the right here?

36:55

Yes, I just think it's insane.

36:57

I was fine with the fact that a couple of the bagels by thirty

37:00

in the afternoon after being opened since five six in

37:02

the morning may have been gone. But then

37:04

to find out that they're not making the onion bagels anymore

37:06

and that tuna is off the menu, I just

37:09

it just put me into a bad place. And

37:11

pour eighteen year old teenage girl that drive

37:13

through a cashier area that you

37:15

know, I'm just going off on her and being very

37:17

sarcastic and dismissive. So

37:20

you're in the right, you don't feel I feel

37:22

bad about how I spoke

37:24

with my sarcasm with an eighteen year ol girl. There's

37:26

no control over I

37:29

was in the right about being disappointed. But they're not gonna make onion

37:31

bagels and tune anymore. But I should have asked for

37:33

the manager and went off on the manager about it fact

37:35

that the manager controls the menu. Either it's the

37:37

head of the company because it's a chain. But whatever, there's

37:40

something he said it goes h There

37:42

was something about no onion bagels and no tuna

37:44

and being taken off the menu of put me in a bad place.

37:47

But I don't want to adminish

37:49

that. I went to a dark place, I kept. I was

37:51

looking at myself in the review mirror. I was driving home because I

37:54

was getting sweaty, more sweaty than I normally am, and

37:56

I was getting a little pale, and I felt the blood pressure going

37:58

up. Like, what do you mean They're not going to make a bagel

38:00

anymore? Doesn't make sense? All right, settle

38:03

down? Doesn't make sense. I

38:06

gave you a meet Friday. You got clam

38:09

bank out there. I got pizza out

38:11

there for you. This according

38:13

to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel,

38:16

according to two college football people familiar

38:19

with the Big Ten talks have generated

38:21

a new option, starting a Big

38:24

Ten season of at least eight games

38:26

the week of Thanksgiving. They

38:28

spoke on the condition of anonymity because

38:30

of the sensitivity of the matter. The Journal

38:32

Sentinel reported earlier this month, league

38:35

officials were working on a plan to play an eight

38:37

game season beginning in January, with

38:39

the games to be played in indoor facilities.

38:42

I'll go back to what I was told, and I

38:44

brought this to your attention of letting

38:46

the students be on campus until Thanksgiving

38:49

and let the football team then come

38:51

on in after Thanksgiving. And

38:54

this is what I think some schools are going to try

38:56

to pull off. Then you don't have to worry about

38:58

the students. You can quarantine, bubble your

39:00

football players. All the other universities

39:02

you're going to be playing in the Big Ten will do the same thing,

39:05

have the same guidelines, and it's the harder

39:07

winner. So trying to find

39:09

indoor stadiums to play after Thanksgiving

39:12

might be a little bit of a challenge. But I'm

39:14

not surprised at this at all. But the Milwaukee

39:16

Journal Sentinel reporting that that maybe

39:19

maybe there's an eight game season

39:21

for the Big Ten. I thought that there

39:24

was a solution to this. I thought

39:26

that they kind of closed up shop early with

39:28

the Big ten and PAC twelve. PAC

39:31

twelve. I was told all along they were not playing football

39:33

this fall Big ten. I

39:35

thought there was at least a glimmer of hope. And

39:38

if I just can't imagine

39:40

being an Ohio State fan going way minute, now we

39:42

can have high school football in Ohio. The

39:45

Cleveland Brown Cincinnati Bengals are going to play, the

39:47

University of Cincinnati's going to play, but

39:50

the Ohio State is not going to play.

39:52

But maybe maybe

39:55

you'll see something after Thanksgiving. David

39:58

in Arizona, David, what's on your today?

40:02

Hey Dan, David from Tucson. Long time,

40:40

of Arizona, led by Rudolson, became the

40:42

first and only team to defeat three number one

40:44

40:47

41:42

and onion. David Gussen of Queens

41:44

takes credit for coming up with the bagel that included

41:46

onions, and it's day in bagel history.

41:50

Chicken who puts

41:52

chicken on their bangs? I don't care about the chicken onion

41:54

bagel is to me it's one of the top five popular

41:56

bagels, maybe even top three. I could be wrong. Why

41:58

didn't you just go to a grocery storm buy one?

42:00

Because this is the place I like to go to. It has you

42:02

know, drinks and options, and it's on my way

42:05

home. It's convenient, and I just don't understand.

42:07

It's like not being able to put it up Pepperoni on your pizza.
