It's not just about the quarterback anymore; the best teams in the NFL need offensive lines. Dan explores the shifting quarterback landscape. Jahan Dotson traded to the Eagles, is it a sign the Commanders will get Brandon Aiyuk? And Frank Caliendo stops by to talk about impressions and the Danettes try out their Tony Romo voice.
You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio.
It's our two on this Meet Friday. It's a beautiful day. Morale is high. National Cuban Sandwich Day, Cubano sandwiches and waffle fries. Who has it better than we do? Nobody weird? Is good new shirt for you Chargers fans at Danpatrick dot com, ready to help you attack the day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. Stat of the Day is always brought you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. I was watching some baseball yesterday. Garrett Cole was on the mount.
Now.
I fell in love with Garrett Cole when he pitched for the Pirates because it was a guy who just pounded the strike zone. He went after the hitters, and then of course he got the big time money, and then I kind of lost my luster for Garrett Cole. He's still a great pitcher. He has one hundred and fifty career wins. He shut out the Guardians, he allowed just one hit, and he's now one of four active pitchers with one hundred and fifty career wins. Justin Verlander has two sixty. Max Schurzer has two sixteen, Clayton Kershaw has two twelve, and Garrett Cole has won fifty. If you go back to nineteen eighty two, there were at least twenty active pitchers who had at least one hundred and fifty career wins. That's the most of any one season in Major League Baseball history.
Whoo cow, stall of a day, stant of a day, start of a day, stella a day.
This is the start of the day. We're going to have to revamp our thinking on what's a Hall of Fame pitcher because you're not going to have these numbers. The pitchers aren't going to be pitching deep enough. Verlander and Schurzer, Kershaw, those are workhorses, and Garrett Cole certainly is that at one point fifty. I mean, you might have that line of demarcation where you get to one hundred and fifty wins. One hundred and seventy five might get you into the Hall of Fame. Two hundred certainly, Cy Young's are going to be more important, probably than the number of wins that you have. But still you're pitching five to six, maybe seven innings. It's just it's different, and I liken it to the running back, where the running back has been diminished. Now we're going to look at numbers and it's going to be more about what you do with catches and like total yards that's going to get you into the Hall of Fame, not just rushing yards. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, download the app. If you haven't done so, you can watch the program. Coming up, we'll talk to the lovely and talented comedian Frank Caliendo and Joey Vado just announced his retirement. Joey, you'll join us in the final hour of the program. Your phone call is always welcome. Operator Tyler sitting by eight seven seven three DP show email address dpat Danpatrick dot com. Aaron Judge did it again. He's got forty eight home runs. He's homered in three straight games, and he's on a pace to hit sixty one home runs this season. He's gotten to that point where we're kind of taking for granted. And there's certain players, you know, Patrick Mahomes, you take him for granted. Steph Curry, you might take him for granted. Lebron you might take him for granted. There's certain players they graduate to the you're kind of taking me for granted, because I look at Patrick Mahomes the way I do Michael Jordan. Others may have better years, but the most valuable player, that's the category that they're in. There's very very few, you know, players that elevate to that level where you just say they may not have the best numbers, but they are the most valuable person. And you know, even Kansas City yesterday, Tampa Bay roughed up Kansas City a couple of years ago. Remember when the Chiefs offensive line was all banged up. That was twenty twenty one. Well after that, they went out and they got some linemen, former All Pro Joe Tooney, and then they just re upped two time Pro Bowl center Creed Humphrey. Now it's not going to make any headlines. I think he's signed a four year, seventy two million dollar deal. You can guarantee Patrick Mahomes had a big smile on his face when he realized that his center is going to be there for the next four years. That's the only way. I mean, you got to have the trenches. You still do. You can talk about quarterbacks. Look at what Mahomes had to put up with with that Tampa defense. In the Super Bowl, he had no chance because that offensive line was not good. When the offensive line is good, suddenly that quarterback can go from good to great or great to a mortal. But if you don't have it, I don't care who your quarterback is, You're not going to win consistently. You got to have really good offensive lines and defensive lines as well. That's why when I look at Caleb Williams, if that offensive line is good this year, Caleb Williams and the Bears are going to be really good offensively. If not, then he's going to be running. You know, that's when injuries happen, bad habits happen. But Patrick Mahomes getting your there's nothing better more confident, you know, confidence building. Then you go to the line of scrimmage and you know that edge rusher there, my guy's going to take care of him. Or that nose tackle, my guy's going to take care So now all you worry about is calling the play. In Kansas City re upped their center Creed Humphrey, and nobody is probably talking about it. But you know, I think that's that's the situation. Like justin Fields in Chicago got into bad habits, ran for his life. The offensive line wasn't good. And I think, and I've been accused of this apparently in Pittsburgh, that I was making more out of the quarterbacking situation that I thought that maybe there was some doubt. I thought Mike Tomlin was vague about it. But Russell Wilson's going to be the starter. Although in fair to the people in Pittsburgh who have accused me of maybe gaslighting a story that's not there. I said this how long ago I was told that he will be the starter, and that Justin Fields it's easier to have rough start and Justin Fields come in, not the other way around. And I don't know, I mean, Justin Field's had this to say. I kind of feel like he did everything he could to be the starter in Pittsburgh.
I think I've shown, you know what I can do. I think, you know, the time that I did have with the ones practice in training camp, I think that went well. I think we grew a lot easter and every day. But at the end of the day, like I said, it's it's not up to me. So yeah, I mean, I'm just gonna come in here every day east and the same person being being a leader for this team and work my boat off and everything else you can do.
Okay, Like he's going to be okay in his career when is he twenty five? I think he's going to be okay, that he'll eventually get some chances there in Pittsburgh and more stability there. You got a good offensive coordinator and Arthur Smith. But yeah, I just thought Mike was vague and I thought maybe this is open to interpretation for the final weekend, but apparently Russ will be your starting quarterback in Pittsburgh. It's the last weekend of preseason games. You got games coming up tonight, and the entire weekend Colts Bears won their games, So the Bears go undefeated and dominated the opposition. I don't know if it means anything other than I always feel like having a win, like the morale boost that you can have in a locker room for a team that is not used to winning. And I know it's fleeting, it's short term, but just that winning no matter what you're winning at that attitude that you have, it's just a different feel. And I know preseason shouldn't matter, but it would to me. If I'm a coach, I want to win. I just that feeling. There's nothing like it. You want to win. And for some of these teams, that's why I think that the worst you are, the harder you try in preseason, because you want to experience that feeling. Light weekend, Opening weekend. It's week zero in college football, highlighted by Florida State, Georgia Tech, and Dublin. Sneaky story. I saw Pete Carroll was in the news and I thought, oh, what's Pete Carroll doing. They said he's going back to USC, and I go, wait a minute here, It wasn't breaking news. I guess he's going back to be a teacher at USC an adjunct professor in the spring. Well, Mario is an adjunct professor, so it's not exactly a great title. I don't know if it means anything, but Pete Carroll is going to be an adjunct professor in the spring. And Lincoln Riley, of course, was asked about the legendary Pete Carroll coming back to USC.
Coach has been great to me.
We've had a chance to catch up pretty often, check him with each other. He's been a great resource and you know, a great person to be able to pick his brain and he's been very good to me. So yeah, shoot, I'm excited he's going to be here more and would be crazy to not take advantage of having him around. So, whether it's in an official role or not.
Okay, what else could Lincoln Riley say?
Oh my god?
What's he doing?
Back?
Is his class going to be in USC football?
Like?
What is he teaching at USC?
Yeah?
Pauling the history of winning USC football is the title. I'm just kidding the title of his class. I don't if I'm like a Riley, I don't want him anywhere near things. It's like the guy who won a lot even though it didn't end great, he still won a lot. They were super super relevant when he was there.
Yeah, I don't know if I would want that. You know, he's always there, like the is the best coach on campus, the one who's not coaching on campus. Just the fact that he's there.
You know.
It's when you hire like an assistant coach and then you're like, uh, that guy's right there waiting for something to happen and normally does. But Pete Carroll, Adjunct Professor at USC, all right, we have a quiz most wins by a rookie quarterback. Because everybody's looking at Caleb Williams this year and thinking, all right, bears, maybe they put up ten wins, the most wins by a rookie quarterback in one season in the history of the NFL. PAULI.
This is games they started as a rookie and they got credit for the win. For example, Robert Griffin Junior the third had nine wins as a rookie. He's not even in the top ten, but there's an example of a quarterback. Or c. J. Stroud had nine wins as a rookie, and we thought that was was going to be My guess. Okay, there's a high for the most wins by a rookie quarterback. And thirteen wins these two gentlemen had. And the hint is one active, one not.
Active, one active one not active, Marvin, I'm gonna start with you, Ben Roethlisberger.
Ben Roethlisberger is correct. Thirteen wins as a rookie. Could you seventeen touchdowns eleven picks? Not great stats, but efficient stats.
Now, Dak Prescott wasn't a rookie when he took over for Tony Romo, or was.
He with your gut.
I'm gonna say, Dak Prescott.
That'd be correct. Thirteen wins.
Marvin give you that answer. Yeah, I guess, Yeah, let me guess. Marvin gave you that answer.
I got a couple more for you. Here are some other guys that are top and all time. Andrew Andrew Luck eleven wins as a rookie, Russ Wilson Dangerous Wilson eleven wins. Joe Flacco eleven wins as a rookie. Here's an old school one for Rams fans out there, Dieter Brock, even though he was a little older, from the CFL.
Here number five correct, number five.
From the CFL to the La Rams eighty five. Okay, And one more fun one for the Cowboys fans Danny White as a rookie in seventy six eleven wins.
You go to Arizona State, Dan quarterback slash punter. Yes, Arizona State. Yeah, yeah, all right, that's it is CD Lamb gonna sign like Tuesday and then pull his hamstring like two days later. That well, no, that's what happens when you have these holdouts. Then all of a sudden they come back and everything's great. And oh, by the way, when and I said this from the beginning, I thought Brandon Ayuk would end up with the Commanders. Now they the Commanders just trade Johan Dodson wide receiver to the Eagles. Here we are late August and you're trading one of your receivers. I'm still going to be in the the Commanders are going to get Brandon Nyuk. I guess he's still on the market. I don't know. Doesn't feel like there's any progress. But maybe maybe Brandon Ayuk will be a commander here or maybe it means nothing. I don't know. I don't want to be accused of, you know, trying to create something here. But the Eagles picking up Johan Donson and you're really asking him to do what? Hey, once you get forty five or fifty catches, does anybody have a deeper receiving cores than the Eagles? Because they've got what three wide receivers? Your tight end Saquon Barkley, So the passing numbers for Jalen Hurts should be pretty impressive. But yeah, Johan Dotson, and I don't know much about him.
Yeah, Paul Dan, by the way, I gotta crrect you on something you can't say the best receiving corps or the best receiving unit. The new phrase the past year is the best receiving room. Oh, he'll really help fill out the wide receiver room or the running back room. That's the catchphrase. Every year there's a new catchphrase, high motor to a man, some of the greats. Starting last year, it's the quarterback room, not the quarterback position or the depth chart at quarterback. It's like, wow, they really added blank blank to help their wide receiver room. It's the room. That's the phrase. All the analysts say.
I didn't get the memo.
Everyone else did.
Yeah. Remember Mike mayonk would always have like two or three to start every season. Yeah. The one that stood out was when he when he was saying waste bender and I'm like, wait, what does that mean? Offensive lineman oily hips twitch twitch yeah yeah twitchy yeah, thinking why why do they need to have their language. It's like lawyers get together and they all they'll use their language here, but their job is not to dumb it down for us to understand their language. An analyst, he's supposed to dumb it down so we know exactly what you're talking about. Yes, Tom, I just googled oily hips and I got a blue screen, So I don't know if I got to bring my computer, and I don't know what's going on yet, but I know nothing's working right now. Yeah, Mercedes to the main stage. Mercedes to the main stage. Yes, seton.
How else do you make football sound like it's the sports equivalent of aviation without using all of this crazy terminology? You know, it's like sending.
Rocket to the main gap in the in the B gap and all of that, and you know, putting your fingers in the dirt and.
Free technique, four technique, six technique.
Three technique. Yeah, now baseball is a five tool player. Does football have a five technique player? Oh? I'm not sure.
Well, every year there's a new phrase. Dan, if you go back almost a decade, high Motor took over four years ago. Is set the edge. You had to set the edge like Warick's got to set the edge. Whatever the defensive end is. And now then just became the position became edge off that it's not defensive end or pass rusher. You're just an edge to a man was twenty nineteen. To a man, he's just a great quarterback. He really spins it twenty seventeen. Dang, so what's the one this year? It's the it's the receiving room. Yeah, you can't say, like a man, the forty nine ers have a great receiving core. Like man, the forty nine ers have a great wide receiver room. And you know what if that room will take a hit if they lose Ayuk, Okay.
You got to get out of the room though, to play. That's right, that's the that's this strange thing. Ceedee Lamb is in the receiving room right now for the Cowboys. He's just not playing for the Cowboys. Who gets happy first or ceed Lamb? Which which one gets resolved first? Because I don't know Jerry Jones. I just think he likes that you talk about his team. I don't know how important this is for ceed Lamb to be back in there. Nine ers feel like it's a little different with Brandon Ayuk. Yes, yes, Marvin, I'm gonna use last year's phrase. You mean the bag. Who's gonna get the bag for?
Oh?
Oh my bad, my bad? The bag? Okay, which one gets the bag first?
I think Lamb.
I'm gonna go, Yeah, I'm gonna go, Ceed Lamb. He's gonna get the bag. Yes, Tom, I think.
John Lynch is gonna get Ayuk the bag before Jerry Jones is willing to give it.
Steed.
Okay, all right, all right, part of the Fage Bag to the phase. All right, let me take a break. Frank Kelly Endow, or as Terry Bradshaw would say, Frank kaladend is going to join us. Coming up. We'll get to your phone calls as well. Back after this and the Dan Patrick Show.

I don't know what it says about me. But when I realized that there was going to be a movie about John Madden and it's supposed to be about Madden NFL football, and I guess the making of that, I thought about Frank Helliendo, who does John Madden impersonation all the time. And then I realized that I think Will Ferrell was up for the job, but Nick Cage got the job. He's going to be John Madden in the movie. So I thought Fritzy reached out to Frank Kelly Endo because I wondered, does Frank do a Nick Cage impersonation of John Madden. I mean, let's hop the ante here a little bit. But by the way, go to Frank on stage dot com learn more about where you can see Frank. He'll be Davenport, Iowa, Milwaukee, Wisconsin coming up in September's We Make Way for the Great Comedian Frank Kelly Endo. Frank, good morning, how are you.
I'm doing well. It has been a while and I'm really looking forward to it.
Okay, so do you do a Nicholas Cage doing John Madden.
I heard you talking about it yesterday.
I tried it a little bit because I did a like a social media post of all the other actors I think would be better than me playing John Madden. So the Nicholas Cage, I believe, would start a little lower and get in here. Hey, folks, John Madden here, and this guy's going over here.
That guy's going over there. And what's this guy doing, Pat.
He's stealing the Declaration of Independence?
Here we are.
Boom, there'd be a lot right boom.
Oh wow.
I'm I'm finding things from old Batman episodes that are working their way.
In good enough for those who are listening on radio. I wish you could see right with the face. Facial expressions are awesome there. I mean, my Nicholas Cage impersonation was with Pig and it would be I want my Pig, and then that's it. That's as far as I go.
I go more for finding it's actually getting better because I'm doing it with you. For some reason, I think it's upping the stakes, like when you're playing in a game and guys get players get better as they're playing in the game because the stakes are higher. But I want to play with a tweet I put out yesterday after Fritzie said who was on the show, is like.
Let's play a rhyme time. That's what I want to do. Here we go.
Wait, do you have a Nicholas Cage rhyme time?
I'm working on it, dude. So okay, here, I'm here's what we're going to do.
Two words. I'll give you two words and you try to figure out. Okay, run two other words.
Okay, I'm going to over explain it the same way Fritzie would for two and a half minutes.
Let's just try just trying to get the the back row laughing. That's all I'm trying to do here. By the way, never been on the show with Marvin. Marvin doing a tremendous job. But first, okay, so I should have thought of two rhyming words. Didn't plan Okay, Nicholas.
Uh extended, Nicholas extended.
Anyone you want to go.
We're trying to think what ris with the cage that would be extended.
I'll give it to you.
It's gonna take forever cage range.
That's that's the typical Fritzy doesn't even really.
It's supposed to be bad, Frank, so I tried to go one extra layer of amazing. Could you do an impression of Madden? That would fool Like let's say the movie people wanted you to come in and do some lines, not over the top, but just do John Madden movie.
I mean, they always start with more of a caricature that you know, got into that, like it gets fun.
It starts out kind of boring.
But the Madden thing, you know, you try to say the things the way he would say, and those, I mean, those are the kinds of things that it ends up being.
And then you would get like that.
Once in a while, I actually had to do I did a commercial where I was supposed to sing as John Madden. John Madden didn't want to sing, I guess in the commercial and I'm still doing cage and I'm not even trying. So it was a Christmas song and I had to sing it, and they're like, we want you to come in an audition. I'm like, find somebody else if they're gonna make me audition for this. I ended up making them pay me a thousand dollars or something like that. This is like twenty years ago, and it was Madden singing chess nuts roasting.
I'm in open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose.
And they're like, that's incredible. I'm like, he's never gonna let you use it. Don't worry. That's what I'm making you pay for it. And it turned out that they didn't use it in the commercier.
It's like chestnuts roasting on an open fire.
I was like, see, so that's why I was one of those. Normally I wouldn't be that much of a jerk about it, but I was like, there's no way they're gonna use it. And I finally I probably told you the story. I finally met Madden at the Super Bowl in Dallas and made his grandkids laugh and it kind of changed it.
So that was pretty cool.
Okay, give me the other people that you were doing. Who could have been found John? I found some people.
John c Riley was probably one of the best I thought would have been there.
Did you touch my traducket?
Did you touch my traducant?
I know you touched my drumstick because it's a fighting nod of it. That one was a good one.
I did like a Leonardo DiCaprio, Wolf of Wall Street.
You know, five years ago, when I first started using the telestraet, I had no idea it was going to take off the way it did.
I did a trying to think who else was in there.
There was a Morgan Moran would be a Pat better Pat sum roll though right to the I was going to do some roll.
So through the twenty through the twenty five, there's a flag on the play if the quarterback, if he throws the ball and the receiver catches it in the end zone.
Truth of the matter it is, that's a touchdown. So I don't know there was somebody saw like a Jeff Goldbloom.
Bobby thought about it. Go ahead, wait a minute before you get to that. Have you thought about doing like an alternate broadcast?
People have brought it up to me.
I think it would be I think it would be fun to get a real football.
Mind and doing that. You know.
One of the reasons I started listening to you guys more is you guys were somebody had brought up I wasn't he was seating, but everybody's kind of doing it. Seatan was doing the romo and you guys were having a discussion and somebody's like and don't listen to this whole thing before you think of a jerk. And so he's like, they're doing your they're doing your Tony Romo bit, and I'm like, well, it's an observation. It's very similar. It's just parallel thinking. But it was that whole bit about how he doesn't know the place he went from. My joke is he went from Noster Damas to knows nothing about football anymore. And and my joke with Romo is basically he's like revving up a car.
When he starts, that's how I get into it's like.
Oh, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, and he can he can never think of a reference.
He'll start. This happens to me all the time. So he starts a reference and then he gets offt like Jim, that's like a car that he'll be like, Jim, that's that's like going zero to sixty in a.
Car that goes really really fast, like he could.
He doesn't get at the name of the car. Sometimes he's smiling. You can see Romo smiling, Oh him, this is really really great. What's you gonna do here, though, Jim. And that's where it kind of crossed over with what you guys were talking about.
Nance called me.
I had the greatest voicemail on the world with Nance calling me, because I guess they do that on the set. They've done it in games and where they just go here we go Jim, and then Nance goes Tony.
So but Nance left me a message, He just go Frankie.
And I wish that the message was Hello Frank, Jim nantz Like if I'd have gotten a Hello Frank at the beginning of that.
Oh Jim, that would have been the best.
Okay, just to let the audience know, this is we weren't ripping you off if anything, hopeful.
Actually not, no, no, you hadn't heard it.
No, no, I no, I thought I no way on earth that you'd have seen me do it because it wasn't even on TV or anything like that. It's just it was one of those situations where a total parallel thinking. And uh, here's the thing.
Here's a fun thing.
Is like you ever meet people that think kind of like you have a friend in town in Arizona, John Holmberg.
He and I think very similarly. And it's why I can write with him sometimes.
Seaton sees a lot of things similar the way I do, and I'm like, oh my gosh, that's that's how I hit how I attack that too.
And I'm like.
Sometimes I get mad at him, but it's got nothing to do. I'm like, oh, he's already done that, so it's like, ah, what a I gonna do? So it's actually it's actually it's actually a great compliment to set or he thinks I'm an idiot and it's like, oh no, I'm already there.
It's one of my to have that bit be so good that people think I stole it from you as one of my greatest career accomplishments.
To me, that's like the best thing.
You basically gave me a dozen roses right there, or like I want to hug you, thank you.
Yeah, No, it's.
It's absolutely Uh. I don't want people I think that that's completely innocent because people it happens all the time. It used to be when you had a bit nobody everything wasn't global like this. The Dan Patrick Show goes out everywhere and on social media. Now everybody always had this stuff. People were always doing the same types of things all over, but now you just have the ability to see it. And I really enjoy the show. And I was at the I was at the Man Cave, the New Man. I wasn't one of the first people there at the is that?
And is my star still there? Do I still have the star? A star on the walk? Okay? I just didn't know. It's been a while since I've been. I didn't know.
I don't know if it was a peel and stick like it. I just it was there one day and like, okay, because I remember Reggie Miller coming out. Reggie Miller came out of the dressing room and I was like, you know, Reggie, I never really liked you as I was honest. I was like, I never really liked you as a player, but meeting you, you were the greatest guy in the world.
It's so cool.
All right. So, Paulie, you play the role of Jim Nance and then Seaton plays Tony Romo.
Okay, here we go, cowboys at the forty five of Dalla Dallas. What do they do here?
Tony?
I don't know.
Jim, what do you think of this?
Did they run it today?
Passed? What would you do?
Keep an eye on that.
Your gym?
This looks really exciting.
It looks like one of the best places they've ever put together.
What's gonna happen here?
It's kind of what you're here for.
But they get they really do get along, right.
I mean people we always think.
I think Tony, Tony does some of those inside jokes where he'll he doesn't always explain it to the audience.
And I don't know Tony.
I was just talking to Nance for like an hour. I met Tony in passing. But I enjoy these guys. I mean, that's to me. It's always finding the fun of somebody. And that's what makes it great when you go when you try and do an impression of somebody in your being. Mean, I don't find it fun. It can be interesting, but I like to find the silliness.
And I'll give props to two.
And I've texted I've texted Fritzy about this before.
His Uh who's the basketball? I can't even think of the basketball now, sir.
That's uh Kevin Harlan. Ken that when you did Kevin Harland for Kevin Harlan, I mean, that's that stuff is so much fun. Look, can you do a little Kevin Ireland three run?
But Jazz want to talk about it?
This is the NBA on T N T.
And he always goes the NBA.
On T N T, which is what you do when you can only say certain things and you know what's going to tie it in at the end that this the N T N T.
Mine always goes to Marv Albert. It turns into this from Downtown. Yes, so I always get lost in there.
I did a thing where when you when you don't master one for me personally, these voices meld a lot of the time. So two of them. I did this as a post before on like Instagram. So but Kermit the Frog, Hey, hold Krimit de frog here. That's a voice that uses this nasal kind of thing. And then fozzy bears like Waka walk a walk up that type of deal. And if you find those in there, if you take Kermit the Frog and bring it down a little, becomes John c Riley, did you touch my drum?
Set? That right there? And if you add some Eric becomes Mark Ruffalow. I see this as an absolute win.
And if you bring it way down, it becomes Paul jim I I believe is that that's rombo bet. It's probably one of the best bets I've ever heard in my entire life. And I'm talking about the seatan version and with Paulie not Kelly and.
Pause insight into the craft right there.
Well, there's always that and I touched ye.
I don't get political at all, really, I mean I talked about people in politics and I know, but I taught Shack to do Trump one time, and that might have been the funniest Shack doing Trump, which is kind of like you know, Cage doing Madden, but just shreck on.
That's very very that's trendous, very very good.
Quite frankly the number one reason I've ever done Shack.
John Like, can I tell you about that? He's like, sure, it'll be true.
Let us know when you're on the East coast again. We'd love to have you stop by.
