You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio.
We got football tonight, Falcons getting five and a half against the Eagles.
Come on in hour two on this program. Good morning.
If you're watching on Peacock. Thank you for downloading the app. Our streaming partners, our radio affiliates, iHeartRadio, Fox Sports Radio Hall of Famer Steve Young will join us. Coming up a little bit next hour. Darius Rucker was on College game Day. He will join us as South Carolina loses in dramatic fashion. The Dolphins make him cry, so does South Carolina. Vikings beat the Niners, Bucks beat the Lions, Saints rough up the Cowboys. They're all two and zero. Are you buying into all of them? Well, the Buccaneers are a playoff team. The Vikings under the radar after losing JJ McCarthy, but even with him, I don't know if the expectation level was that high because you have the Lions and the Packers, both playoff teams, and we think the Bears are going to be better than they were last year. The Buccaneers beating the Lions, I said that Friday would not be surprised if they did that. The Saints Okay. They beat Carolina in Week one and you go, okay, you put up forty seven points on the Panthers, and we'll give you a half a win. You go to Dallas and you rough them up, put up forty four points. Now you got people's attention. So they're two to zero the Steelers. It's not pretty, but you just have to win these games. It's just like I'm watching the Jets against Tennessee. Tennessee has always had a way of making you play ugly. It feels like there's every game is like, you know, nineteen to sixteen, you know, twenty one to eighteen always, and the Jets got to win. They didn't look good. It's just Will Levis looked bad. And once again I don't have we had him on the show maybe once during the draft. He looks like a quarterback who is playing a quarterback in a movie. Like he has everything. But he makes mistakes, man, big mistakes, and you know there's certain mistakes you make and you go, well, he's a rookie. Well he's not a rookie anymore. You can't be making those mistakes. But the Jets got the win. You'll take the win, and we've yet to see Aaron Rodgers really turn it loose. He hasn't thrown for over one hundred and eighty yards yet, you know, waiting for Breese Hall and like you're waiting for this, but you know, after four weeks, if you haven't seen it, chances are you're not going to see it with a lot of these teams, if you you know, abide by what Belichick and Brady used to say, the first four games were our preseason figuring everything out.
That's what you know.
Offensive defensive coordinators, head coaches, quarterbacks, everybody's trying to figure all of this out. Because in the preseason or you have those controlled scrimmages, that's not a great litmus test of what the regular season is all about. You're watching these teams, like the Texans look like they're loaded, but they struggle to put away the Bears at home. There's certain things where you go, Okay, the Ravens. Ravens improved. Now, they did lose defensive players, but they they you know, they got a really good running game. And you're thinking, all right, the Raiders are coming to town. Here's Antonio Pierce, the Raiders head coach.
Where we were ten point under dogs disrespected National Football League. I've been in the game a long time. Not to many times teams get picked by to lose by ten points. Our guys took it personal and I was good and we got a lot of clean.
Up to do tomorrow.
Okay, at what point do you take it personally? If you were eight and a half point underdogs, do you take it personally? The fact that you're an under I mean, I don't know what that means. That it's ten it's double digits. In the National Football League. It's always far more serious when players and coaches and analysts say the National Football League, we don't get to do that, But if you played or coached, you get to call it the National Football League US, it's just the NFL. But Antonio Piers, Hey, this is the National Football League and we're double digit underdogs. If you're looking at those survivor pools, so the first week, the number of people who took the Bengals to beat the Patriots, and then if you survive that, you probably went I'm taking the Ravens hosting the Raiders. They wiped out a lot of people. Two games, two weeks, Yes, Todd.
Yeah, it's ridiculous. How would you not pick it between those two games.
You would think by by the time Week two was over, you'd be totally out.
With those two. Oh, yes, absolutely, thank you, Tod.
Yes, well, I always hesitate with the Raiders to buy in. They've had a bunch of seeds. Hey, they're five and one and then they're five and nine. You know, I loved you know, I love me some Minshew, but they're a tough team to buy into.
Well, they got Max Crosby, who I love. Gardner Minshew is a high end backup. Starting quarterback Rock Bowers looks like he's the real deal. I think he had nine targets, nine catches. They you know, so they have enough there to make it interesting. I don't know if they have. You know, they'll get a new quarterback next year, probably go all in, you know, either trading for somebody or drafting somebody. I still shocked that they didn't go all in on Michael Pennox junior the third or moving up to maybe they didn't think Atlanta was going to draft him. But you know, they got Rock Bowers, who's really really talented. Yes, Hunt, What can we make.
Of Jim Harbo's Chargers through two weeks they beat up on the Panthers. They beat the Raiders week one, which didn't seem like that big a deal. But now that the Raiders beat the Ravens in Baltimore, now that's a juicy hera win for them.
I believe in Harball. I believe in him. I don't care who you're beating or how you're beating them. I just believe in him. I think that his track record, he wins San Diego, Stanford, San Francisco, Michigan, and I believe that with the LA Chargers he'll win as well. It might be counterintuitive to what NFL teams normally do and throwing the ball, but when they went all in, I thought they were going to take rock Bouers. But when they went all in and they took what Joe alts out of Notre Dame like he was saying, this is who we are. We're going to try to push you around a little bit. And you know JK. Dobbins has been great second in the league now in rushing as a team. So I'm buying into them, buying into them. Poll question from our one seaton and then what are we going to go with an hour two.
We've got thrice poll questions all there, right, Okay, Florida team that has the biggest issues right now, the Florida State Seminoles are running away with that one sixty four percent of the vote. The Dolphin are in last and not as many issues apparently as the Gators who are in second.
Are the staple? Are the Steelers good this year? Right now?
Seventy four percent of the audience say no, awesome. And the most surprising two and o team right now is the sint at fifty seven percent of the vote, followed by the Steelers stealers.
The fact that the Saints went to Dallas in one that that guy win.
Yeah, yeah, but you do it in a way where their first five possessions I think they scored touchdowns. I mean just dominating and doing that in Dallas. Last time we saw that was Oh that's right, Green Bay when they went there for the postseason last year. All right, phone calls coming up besting worst of the weekend. I was hoping Kentucky could pull off the upset. College football needs something like you got to have a little disruption there. What was that thirteen to twelve the final there? Arch Manning came in Quinn. You were was injured. Arch looked awesome. Alabama, Wisconsin. I tuned in just for a little bit there, just for the atmosphere. Lsu escaped South Carolina and Florida. It is messy. It is messy. Tonight Falcons at the Eagles. The Eagles are giving five and a half Josh and Virginia. Good morning, Josh. What's on your mind today?
Hey?
Dan?
First time, longtime sneaky athletic five to ten and a Miller Light one ninety. Thank you, marv. Dan, I've got two quick best and worst of the weekend for you. I have absolute best of the weekend, Dan. I got to see Darius and the boys jam out down in here in Virginia Beach on Saturday night after his college game day appearance in the morning. Concert was awesome, including their Led Zeppelin cover song, but the worst of the weekend there as well. Dan, sadly I did not get to see the Toddler open for Darius and who do you so we all know he would must have been fighting, good fight to get healthy.
No, no, Josh, trust me, you were a winner by not seeing todd sing We're not doing that again. That was a one and Donner. Actually it was two songs and done. But thank you Josh get.
Invited back to the road at some point. I don't haven't gotten that call yet.
Don't sky.
People paid to go to this concert and then halfway through it this happened. So people paid to go see this much better.
It sounds in the shower from me on amazing.
Tod see you you can sing.
It's just sometimes when you sing, or anybody does, when all of a sudden you're trying to sing at a different pitch, or you're trying to sing through a microphone to a stadium, you change your voice a little bit. I think it's natural to do that. It's you sing into the microphone. You're not singing to the person in the last row of the last seat, and you're singing after Darius sings, and Darius knows what he's doing and you don't.
The audience was very kind, at least the ones I saw looked like they were trying to be supportive.
Well, they were applauding because they thought you were dumb. Yes, and then you started singing again, and you got your hands in your pocket the entire time, like you just We did it. We did it and now we're done with it.
Yes, it is except for the audience.
Yes, Paul, I don't get anxious or nervous in public situations. When Fritzi went to song two during that concert, in my head, I'm begging him to walk off because it would have been a cool moment. That whole three week period leading up to that concert, we must have begged him to not go song too.
I begged him backstage before he went out on moments before.
Yes, I think he wanted me to do a bridge version of the one song.
I thought if you combined both of them and and like had a medley of Hollandoad.
Songs just on my eyes or something like that.
Yeah, but something that, you know, maybe we we streamlined it a little bit.
Let's just get it over with so much.
It to do. Had Todd you get a chance like that, you should have gone for three if you could have you stay up there as long as you can, Buddy, No, never happening again, It's never happened.
If I would have started singing a third song that the band has, I mean.
I would have dragged you. I would have dragged you off the god. But what is he doing to that will make my head and no one said that. You know what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna bring back a painful memory for Darius when he comes on, I want you to start singing, Holland.
That's a great idea.
That's fine.
Just remind him that he'll never ever do it again, because he's so generous, and I know that he would be like, yeah, I guarantee you. If I said, hey, could Fritzy maybe sing another song? Well more time with you, he would say yes.
No way.
That was insane that he allowed that to happen.
Yes, the Kent City Chiefs have lost Isaiah Pacheco. It is a fractured fibula yesterday. There's no time frame for this. I'm just seeing the news. Ian Rappaport, Yes, Pauline.
The other thing about Isaiah Pacheco, he's on i think the last year of a four year contract. He's making almost no money for a football player who's very successful. He makes like nine hundred thousand and in the fourth year of a contract, and.
We wondered if he was ever going to get paid because he's on the Chiefs. He got this great opportunity, but at that position, is he going to get that big contract. That's a big loss because it's almost like he is the spirit of that team. Like offensively, you know Mahomes and Kelsey, you know they're Hall of famers they but Checko it feels like every carry he feels like it's the most important carry of his life. You know, there's a Marshawn Lynch type feel to him of I'm going to run and make you pay. Roger in Arizona, Hi, Roge, what's on your mind today?
I've been watching sports since nineteen forty eight. But anyway, my best of the week is obviously Kyler Murray from Phoenix. Now I got very very quickly is the Eastern Press. They talked about the old Kyler all two years ago. They have probably probably traded him for a yoxtrapp and gloves. But last year the team voted him captain. This year and the preseason, he's been the first one on the field, the last one on the field. The thing is Kingsberry was the absolutely worst coach for him because he didn't hold him accountable. Anyway, my best of my worst of the weekend has been my worst since nineteen forty eight. This umpires and they're strong. I can't believe how bad that is. I was watching the game there the day. There was two strikes and throws the pitch just obviously a strike. Next next swing hits a home run, then you know you shouldn't give that thing that main thing. So that's just my opinion that the strike zone for umpires is awful, and.
Well, we can always do electronics strike zones if you want to, Roger, thank you. I don't know if it was just the East Coast media who was critical of Kyler Murray. I would imagine probably some local media had been critical of Kyler Murray.
He's got the talent. That was never a douent. He has the talent.
What did I say after last week's game, You got to get the ball to Marvin Harrison.
That's just common sense.
Now Kyler said, well, hey, talk to my offensive coordinator, okay, And then what did we say to Sean McVay, Sean, they are going to go to Marvin Harrison in the first quarter, early and often. And what did they do? They went to him and he had a couple of touchdowns there. I don't think it takes really the deep thinker to go, how do I see on that train we drafted Marvin Harrison. We should probably getting the ball. I have some stats here for you. You know what, let me take a break. I'll have this for you before we get to Steve Young coming up. But I've got some stats here for you, and I'm curious what you think of these numbers for this player. We'll take a break. Hall of Famer Steve Young's next on The Dan Patrick Show.

We'll talk to Steve Young here in a moment. All right, here's some stats for you. Tell me if you take this career Going into his eleventh season, two hundred and forty seven career touchdowns, one hundred and eight picks, four pro Bowl selections.
It's pretty good.
If you said that's Derek Carr, you'd be correct quietly, some pretty good numbers there and had a great day yesterday and roughing up the Cowboys on the road. Stat of the Day has always brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of The Dan Patrick Show. Three times Super Bowl Champ, Super Bowl MVP, Hall of Famer Steve Young back on the program. What was it like to play behind a bad offensive line?
Life is too short? Dan? Like in football, like you need a lot of help to be a great quarterback or even a good quarterback or competent. You need help, and you need it from the owner down and especially in today's game. And if you're behind a bad offensive line, you can't be yourself. You can't show who you are. You can scrape it through. I always said, no matter how bad it is, if you're if you're gonna be really good, you're gonna figure out a way to send up a flare. You know, you'll like, you'll send up some smoke signals that tells people I can still play. I promise, I just I can't show you right now, but I'm I you know, And I'm and I watch for those smoke signals for people, you know, guys that are on terrible teams, like Daniel Joe. I mean, like you watch guys like no, they can't. They like Russell Wilson went to Denver. I'm like, wait, where's the smoke signal? Tell me you know what you're doing? Tell me no, you're what's going on? I was like, no, I got nothing for you, bro, And so I just I think behind a bad line it there's nothing good that can not much good that can happen. But you can let me know that you can. You're still You're still competent, You're still you still can be good. You just got to need more help.
Yeah, but I don't know what to make of Bryce Young. That gets not fair to him, But I I don't know if he can play.
Yeah, it's the classic conundrum, right because you get into it. You know your high draft pick, you come out of you know all the success in college. You feel like you're you should you should be really good, and you don't get any help and now you don't know, and then you then you lose your job and you bounce around the league and then some guy's number get never really get straightened up. And that's the that's the somewhat the curse of being the number one pick. But if he was again, do you think he's sent you some smoke signals, he's put up some flares that he can get it right. I can take care of you. I'm I'm going to say, I'm not sure that he has. And that's what you have to wonder about.
When did you learn that there was only so much you could do on a play before you kind of have to take the loss on that play, whether you know, because in college you could improvise, extend a play. You were more athletic, But you get to the pros and eventually you have to learn how to go Nope, no, not going to happen on this play.
Well again, the prototypes have changed, Dan, I was the oddity back in the day. Now you know I would be prototype now. And so the challenge that you just asked is that is the question of every quarterback, justin Fields last year when I talked to him, all the guys, Patrick Mahomes, every week's got to figure out when do I you know I'm superman? I can't you know I'll call the play, I'll get the most out of it, and then I got another play for you, and then maybe another one at at the tail end when I can throw it down the field for eighty yards on the you know, on the run. When do I When do I quit? What does Josh Allen say? Okay, I know they asked me to ask too much of me. I'm superman every week. When when is too much? And that is that is the eighty you know, sixty million dollar question now at quarterback and the guys that have figured out and I think Patrick has done that. Patrick went back to school in two thousand and you read it, you know, said to him, Hey, Patrick, what you really need to do is focus on the play that's called in the huddle, get every inch of that, and then go do something else and then throw it away. And so that discipline that Patrick put into his game I think made him the best in the in the league. And there's others that had the capability of being the best in the league that haven't figured out that discipline. And you know that's people say, why not? How so obvious? Well, you know that's the that's the challenge of the toughest job in sports is to try to figure out when and how that that that that story ends. It's easier for guys like Peyton Manning, Dan Marino, you know, Tom Brady, that they don't have all the options and so they can be more disciplined much quickly, much more quickly.
But so you rush for four thousand yards. How much of that was by design when you were playing?
None?
None of it?
But but but yet that was the That's where you get capitulation from defenses. That's where in today's game especially, you have to You saw Caleb but the of the game yesterday, you saw cg at the end of the game. It's like the NBA. You know, you play around, play on three and a half quarters, and all of a sudden, there's the finishers, the guys that can throw it all over the field, big strong, you know, athletic guys, and then they have to get on the horse. They have to go out and take those free yards. They're out there and you're gonna If you're not gonna take him, it's just going to be making it that much more hard. That's what Patrick Mahomes didn't play well, but he made it from some key first down runs, some things that really moved the chains. Made the difference and those that's out there. And if you can't do it, you really can't drive in today's game. But if you don't, if you're not capable of of getting like the game has changed so much that they're free yards out there for quarterbacks, you got to go get him like college used to be. And but yet you have to be in college. Dan, there's there's runners who can throw, and there's a lot of them in the pros. You got to be a thrower. You got to be a you know, sophisticated pass with the football. Who can run? And that's the challenge of today's game is who could Everyone can run. Most of the guys that are being drafted today high they're all big, strong guys that can run. But can you become a sophisticated passer of the Football.
Hall of Famer Steve Young, Joni is you didn't slide, though.
I always thought sliding was more dangerous and and and the only thing with Josh Allen Bevans and Josh Allen, he's too crazy. He's gotta gotta call him down. He's gonna get hurt. I agree, there's some things he does at the end. The last move of when the journey is over. You know Eric Emma Smith, he's a famously saying you got to know when the journey's over. And Josh, he extends that little bit that puts himself at risk. I always felt the safest on the field out of the pocket, on the run, make it my own way. And then how to get down to the ground. How to make sure that you get down there safely sliding you get, you get less yards and you get pounded in the face like I'm not doing that. Like you can always find a safe way to the ground if you want to. And I the most dangerous play in the field for quarterback and stand in the pocket trying to deliver. Now, that is the job. That's what I tried to prove the people dead for eighteen years that I'm not a scrambler. I am an efficient, sophisticated pass of the football. And because I could run around, they just could they you know, they wouldn't capitulate. I don't know who they are, but they wouldn't.
I'm going to preface this by saying, I know this might be difficult for you to answer, but you did go through concussions. Can you put yourself into his situation at his age, where you've had multiple concussions and now you have to look at a bigger picture.
I can't put myself oddly, I can't put myself into a spot because what I'm witnessing. And again, you know, the brain is the last frontier of medical science. You go to the world's greatest neurologist and ask them, how you know should I play on that play? They can't look inside and all is that it's kind of all symptomatic. And how do you feel what we witnessed? What is the reaction? How devastate were the hits? I always had what I would call grade one where I felt a little diusy. The next day, I woke up and I wanted to sleep a little bit more than I was fine. So I never had what what you witnessed on the field the other day with Tua, where you know you've got the fencers posed and you're definitely knocked out, and it happens multiple times, and you know people, you know, people would come to me through the years, Hey, Steve, you you've had concussions. What you know. I can't remember my wife's name, I can't remember where I parked my car. I can't sleep now for three weeks or now with five months. You know, I'm sitting in the basement. I'm like, bro, I don't know what to tell you. I never that was never me, and so I don't know how to help you. I can tell you that if that happened to me where you're in these dramatic situations on the field, where you had these obviously severe concussions, now that I've lived a long time, I would scream in into the you know, I would screen back, you know, be superful. It doesn't mean. Look, the problem is you can go to all neurologists and they'll say, well I would if I were you, or it does seem like the best idea, and nobody's gonna say go play because that's dangerous. And two is now in a place where it's double dangerous because not only is his health, but everyone on the street's gonna be I mean, you know, old women will walk up to him and grab his cheek. Please don't play anymore, Please don't do it, please for you, you know all we just can't watch it anymore. So there's that social pressure as well. So as you try to make a great decision that is going to be on them, and especially a young age when you feel like you've got your whole career in front of you, very very difficult. But what you're witnessing seems to be pretty severe concussions. And I'm you know, I'm not an expert, but even the experts will say me that just seems they're loaded on on top of each other. That just it feels super heavy and something he should be super careful about.
What would were you more susceptible to concussions after having got.
Now, there are always believe that there were people, like you know, injury prone people where their bodies just can't hold up to the riggor It was nothing against them, they just their bodies just kind of betrayed them. I do feel that about heads injuries as well. It seemed like some guys can just get bounced around and never have any issues, and some guys just seem to be susceptible to them. So I think there is that genetic part of it that's possible. I don't know. It's probably in the middle, I guess, but it does. Yeah, but it's hard to say. The hits are the hits, and and it's super dangerous, it's and and there is a long life ahead of people. And and when you're twenty five or trying to make decisions about your career, and it's the thing you're best at, Dan, when you're when you're world famous for a skill that you have that's part genetically given and part that you've you know, kind of earned, and now you have to leave it, and the next day you're not good at anything else. It's not nobody wants to be there. Super difficult to make that kind of a.
Well there's all this money though, too, Steve, we're talking yeah, I mean again.
Yes, that and I'll never diminish it, especially today. It's amazing, no question. But again, emotionally, where do you live at the core of yourself? You want to do things that you're you're great at, and if you're great at something, you want to keep doing it because the next day, again, if I was really honest with myself, I'm not good at anything else. It's certainly not great at anything else. And so your life changes so dramatically. Always said it was like falling off a cliff. You're just a bag of broken bones at the bottom when you do quit the thing that you're great at, because the humility that comes with it is brutal, and nobody. People will say, why can't you quit? Why can't you? You know, that's you know, give it up. It's like you give up the thing that you're best at, you know, forever. It's tough. It's tough, is it real?
The West Coast team going east coast to play that one o'clock game? We saw the Niners against the Vikings, Like, do you remember how real that was?
When you played?
It was always something It was always hard to play ten am your time when you went across the country. I actually waited the Central Games worse because for whatever reason, Noon felt, you know, I know, still ten am my time. Like I get it, dad, I get the math. But somehow, somehow Noon hit me, wrang hit me in a different way. So you're playing. You got a noon kickoff in the super Dome in front of eighty thousand crazy people screaming. You can't hear anything. It's like it's noon. It's like it's too early for this. I need a couple more hours to get ready for this. But there's there's something to it, and it's always harder to go west to east.
We know that our audience watching on. Peacock wants to know if you're in an suv or a minivan. Let's let's guess. No, hold on, hold on, Todd, suv or minivan. For Steve, a minivan would be bad for the brand, but we'll get to that in the moment time.
I think he's running errands in a minivan.
Minivan? All right, seating, I think it's an suv. Think Marvin, he's in a gmc gmc wow, PAULI.
Yeah, three row suv, Steve Young, No minivan.
Yeah, there's no minivan in your life. That's an suv.
You just do not know me.
Man.
I roll in the sweetest Toyota swagger wagon you've ever seen. Bro, Come on, dang, it's a swagger wagon. Man, you go. I go thumping buy people in the neighborhood. This sweet eighteen cup holders. I got outlets, I can I can outlet. I could people get in and out of this car. I got five ways in and out. This is amazing this thing.
Wait, Paulie, would you check and see if it's officially called the swagger wagon.
I'm on the Toyota website. I don't see that model.
Did you create the swagger wagon?
If you don't. If you're gonna roll in the van, you better make it swagger because that's that's how.
I don't think it's thumping in there with you driving your daughters have it thumping in there?
Maybe with the music.
Well you know what, I've been in there for years.
Damn yes, Paulie. I'm on the Toyta website.
There's an article from twenty twenty one, the Toyda Sienna driving the swagger Wagon in the twenty twenty one.
It started it. I started it. Whoa I represent toilet, I started the swagger Wagon. It's it's they Did they say it there, Paully? Do they tell Steve Young started this?
Not officially, but I could feel it. It's about you.
Yeah, you just don't get enough credit in your life innovation. Yeah, I've been innovated a whole lifetredit.
I threw it.
You were Michael Vick before Michael Vick.
No, screw this. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of it. I get nothing.
Yeah, you got Montana's shadow. I mean you got you had everything there, Steve. And it's just not fair.
It's not right.
Life has not been fair to you.
It has been a rough right from getting out of the mean streets at Greenwich, Connecticut all the way to today. It is tough.
Thoughts and prayers, man, thoughts and prayers. You could have probably rushed for eight thousand yards. In the NFL. It's like if you're playing today.
Yeah, today, today's get Look, we don't want to you guys are sick of me telling you this. But when they they made all the changes for safety and the defense so they couldn't launch anymore. You see it yesterday when they're if you hit somebody hard, they throw a flag. You cannot launch in any way. It opened up all of the space in the field and made pro football college football. You used to have to go make space. That's why Derek Henry was famous for a little while because in the old days in twenty seventeen, sixteen fifteen, you had to go make space. Now that space is made for you and now you just have to go fill it up. And so all the innovative minds like Sean McVay and Kyle Shannan and Andy Reid that his age sixty seven years old is dominating because he keeps reinventing himself and they're innovative. Every week, they go fill the space they don't have, They don't line up in the eye and pound you anymore. It's all getting the ball out in space. And it's amazing to watch. So and and you know Tom Brady at the end of his career is he says, Tom, how's it compared to the old days? He goes completely different, Like the middle of the field is unpatrolled, the flats are always open, and no one can hit me. And so in that way, even for Tom, it was significantly different. Let alone the prototypes of today that can go get all those yards and kind of just dominate. I would look, Dan, you've heard me say this. I'm not jealous because that's just a weird word. But do I like watch the game today and go, Holy, this is my g like what this is what I would dream of and that everyone say you're the You're the man. This is exactly what NFL. You know, the NFL is all about, as you like, I would have dreamed to have someone say that to me back in nineteen ninety.
Good to talk to you.
Maybe go through your scrap book today, feel a little bit better about yourself.
Maybe just drive around.
I'm over I'm over look let's be honest. I know the swagg Wagon is mine. I got that, it's but I don't get crafts. Okay, I don't need credit. I don't need the credit. I don't need to go feel better abound. I feel totally fine about, you know, innovation and bringing things into the world and just watching them kind of thrive. And so this is just another one. So I don't I'm I'm don't. Don't think that I'm leaving you kind of dejected him down.
Okay, I'm about a round of applause for Steve. You know what he was, Steve Jobs before Steve Jobs. That's the innovator that Steve Young.
Is and I don't and I don't have to wear a black turtleneck. Yeah I got. I got a dumber number of things in my repertory. And I can put it on with on the parties this weekend with my wife. She's like, man, you you can do it, so you can just see it in your mind.
Catching I don't want to see it in my mind, but but it's there. It was, Yeah, it was something. I'm sure it was in the swagger Wagon. Thank you, Steve, Steve Boys, that's Steve Yah, always one of my favorites. All right, let me take a break. We'll come back with the I'm In or I'm Out.
Game.
Also, I review Tom Brady Week two and more of your phone calls after this. Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast. Be sure to catch us live every weekday morning nine until noon eastern six to nine Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, and you can find us on the iHeartRadio app at FSR or stream us live on the Peacock app. Coming up, we're going to play I'm In or I'm Out. I don't even know what it is. PAULI said, Hey, I got a new game. I said, I am all for playing games. I play games every day. So you're in on the game, yes, but I could be out. Oh yeah as well. Let's see. Oh I got a chance to watch Tom Brady critique Tom Brady thought he did a I mean, the difference from game one to game two was really sizable. Thought he did a really good job. But once again, it has to be instinctive. You can't play, you know, quarterback with somebody always in your ear talking to you or you know it. After a while, you have to take over. And it felt like he was in control as opposed to people trying to help him and what happens. People behind the scenes may be speaking to him in his headset while he's speaking. One of the hardest things that you ever do, pull you know, letting you behind the curtain here and broadcasting that. If I'm talking and then Paulie or Fritzy's saying something in my ear while I'm speaking, you have to be able to hear this, but you also have to be able to speak to your audience, and you could. There were times when somebody was speaking to Tom in his ear Week one because they were trying to help him. Well, he paused and then he's listening, but he's supposed to be talking about the game. I thought it was less choppy, and I thought it sounded more conversational.
That's what he he had. That's what you aspire to.
You just wanted to be conversational, and it's hard to do because you haven't done anything like this before and you're watching a game. Now, you might watch a game at home with your buddies and you might be saying some things, but you really have to get close to that as you're watching a game with your audience.
It's like your buddies. Now you're not gonna have the same language.
You might not be as opinionated, but like Tony Romo feels like he's in the living room with you. And I thought Tony had a really good game yesterday. Get that energy, get that excitement. That's what I want out of Tom And I thought Week two was sizeably, remarkably better than Week one. And he's got all season long to get ready for the super Bowl. Okay, time to play I'm in and I'm out.
Custom music. Okay, Dan, I'm gonna say something. And you guys, just you don't have to pick. You can lay out. You could have stain. Are you in or You're out? And once you're in, you're in for the season, not week two long haul. Okay, all right, first, I'm in or I'm out. Kyler Murray is a very good NFL quarterback.
I'm in.
Who thinks it's an anomaly? It's a grown of an outer.
I feel like if it's taking you this longer than you're out, I feel like an outer because.
Okay, yeah, this is gonna cool off.
Okay ye New Call of Duty is coming out soon, so astractions.
That's one in.
Three outs Okay, I'm an outer.
Yeah right, the Saints are going to the playoffs. I'm outer and you're a collapser an hour ago? Is your Saints?
I know they are Saints.
Yeah, you're getting you're getting the sports media thing. You cover both bass No, but it's like you're my days too. You know, I'm out what Marvinton, I'm in too.
I'm in.
Okay, all right, I'm sticking by my hot take that Dennis Allen gets fired.
Wow, the dynamic New kickoff.
I I mean, I'm going to be in. I'm in all the way in. I'm in.
I'm out because they call it the dynamic kickoff.
I agree.
That's the only reason I like the actual play. Calling it dynamic means I.
Like, I go through Starbucks today and they say, have a great day, and I said, that's a lot of pressure, Like how about just have a decent day or a good day? And they're like, well, okay, have a decent day, and I go there. Now it's like the dynamic kickoff. How about it's the new kickoff or it's the kickoff.
It's funny, as you just made their day a little worse by having that conversation. Whereas they were trying to encourage you to have a great day. You then chose to make theirs worse.
Well, no, I say, when they say, hey, how's your day? On go average? And then they go okay, I like that, all right, PAULI continue, I'm in or I'm out?
All right? Likes that do Sam Donald resurgence. I'm in, I'm in, I am out.

He's gonna be Benedict Donald by week six. It's just gonna go bad.
It's going to see a horrible passer.
Wait, is he gonna like give his playbook to the other team? When what does mell out his own teammates?
Like everyone's gonna believe in you and then then you're gonna pull the pull the rug out from under the Wait.
Wait, I don't think you got the analogy. Yeah, yeah, I think so. Yeah, do you know what Benedict Donald did?
Yeah, it's like you're going you're rebelling, You're going against No, Yeah, you're a trader, he would give his playbook to the packers.
Yeah, maybe not the best of now.
