Jay Busbee stops by with the details of the Olympic Triathlon postponement. And Dan is fascinated by the prospect of the Chicago White Sox setting an MLB record for futility this season as they are on pace to lose more games than the 1962 Mets.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio Final Hour. In this Tuesday will head to Paris.
They got a controversy there, they got pollution, They've got a triathlon. It's a big problem. They spent over a billion dollars trying to clean up the Send River in the last four years to prepare for this moment. Problem is they had to cancel it, well, postpone it until Wednesday, and then they'll try again. Apparently they don't have a backup plan when it comes to the triathlon. Uh. Welcome to the program, Final Hour eight seven to seven three DP show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle DP show PAULI just told us about the new on sidekick. They've made it official now that onside kicks are illegal before the fourth quarter the team losing, you have to be losing to have an on side kick, and teams must announce the intention of kicking an on sidekick ahead of time. That's going to be official. Just so you know now here we are in July and you're going to be like, wait a minute, what are they doing. They've already made these official. These are the rules for the onside kick. But the team must be losing. On side kicks are illegal before the fourth quarter, and teams have to announce their intention to kick an on sidekick ahead of time. Seaton. Let's poll question for the final hour. We say good morning to those watching on Peacock downloading the app are radio affiliates. We're in over four hundred cities around America. iHeartRadio, Fox Sports Radio. All right, Seaton, Final Hour.
That seems super lame. Do you have to say okay on sidekick?
Now? It does? I hate that, I know, I know, I hate that. Like part of the beauty of the onside kick was the surprise element there. The Saints won a Super Bowl because of that.
I mean most of the time everybody you could see just by the way obviously they're lined up like, oh, they're going for this. Occasionally you had the surprise one and that was awesome, and you.
Got to wait till the fourth quarter. Now got to be trailing and you have to announce your intentions. What's the poll question, Seed, Well.
We had up there should the NFL ad in game interviews with the coaches. Apparently our audience is in direct like conflict with the NFL because our audience eighty eight percent say no, they should not edit, which is very different apparently than what the NFL is spoun.
Yeah.
Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk said that the NFL was listening to its fans. That's probably not true. I think what they're doing is listening to the TV executives who say, hey, we want more, we want something different here. Yes, huh.
And PFT did its own poll and parently only eleven percent. I bety interested in.
That, Yeah, and ours was twelve percent. All right, let me go back to the pollution element here playing a large role in what's going on with triathlon. Jay Buzzby a Yahoo Sport senior writer, and he's covering this, Jay, what can you tell us? What is the update? Is the sind rivers still polluted?
Well, I'm standing right by it, and I'm not sure that I would drink out of it right now. So it's it is apparently polluted enough that they postponed the men's triathlon this morning, schedule for eight am Paris time this morning. They're a shrine runner tomorrow after the women's triathlon. We'll see if the sin gets cleaned up in twenty four hours. They're hoping it's very bright and open. The sun is going to be the disinfectant, but can't still way up in the air at this.
Point, go back four years here. They spent over a billion dollars for this moment. What do you get for over a billion dollars when it comes to cleaning up a river?
That's what you're I mean, if you can see behind me, it went from being mud brown to kind of a greenish brown. So that's about what they've gotten for a billion and a half. It actually does look mildly cleaner, but again I still would not swim.
Any Okay, you have a couple of events, don't you have men's and wayman's a triathlon and then is there a marathon swimming?
There's a marathon swim as well, and so yeah, that's that is scared of for later on. What they're going to do is they're going to try to have the triathlon tomorrow. If that doesn't work, they're drop dead dating in August second. It's probably not the right phrase to use. The end to the last possible date is August second. If that doesn't work, they're going to turn it into a do athlon. It's just going to be running and biking and then On August seventh and eighth, they have the marathon swim. So obviously it's still got a little bit of time to get some of this in, but it's still no ways to go until it's cleaning up the satisfaction of the swimmers.
Jay, what are the swimmers risk here? I know, we can have fun at their expense, but being in the water, they're going to be swallowing some of this pollution.
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's it's equal as the main one, don't we all? You know, we've all heard about that what that can do to you know, what that can do to your You're a digestive system, you're a in testinal system, all all aspects of it. That's that's the question.
You know.
Obviously, when you're swimming, you can't hold your breath for that entire amount of time. You can't keep the water out of your eyes, out of your your other orifices. So yeah, they're going to be subjected to this for a while, And the question is whether they're going to feel comfortable if they you know, if the threshold is here and it gets right down to here and they call it safe, I mean, how much more safe is that really than it is right now.
Who's catching heat for this?
Uh pretty much everybody. Uh Paris. This Paris city government is really taking a lot of heat for this, mainly because they spent, as you said, a billion and a half dollars on this and they're not getting much out of it. There's and that Paris protests. French people protest the way that we eat hezza, you know, just constantly. But here what they're finding out is that Paris people are not really thrilled with spending all this money on the Sein and not on other, you know, other necessary aspects of government. So that's what's drawn a lot of protests. I think the number one team drawing heat is is Paris, the city government.
So you wouldn't jump in that that river right now?
Well I might, but I'm an idiot, so I mean, I just kind of want to see what it would be like. But it's I mean, it moves fast, that's the thing. It's a fast moving river. You know, if you don't know what you're doing, it's gonna be a lot of trouble. But it doesn't look terrible. It doesn't look like any worse than any river that I've seen, you know, in the South, but that may or may not be an endorsement of it.
Jay, great to talk to you. Could you bring me back a little a little glass of water there from the Send River at.
A little bit of a sample.
Can you bring me back a sample from the Olympics. Thank you, Jay, Take care. That's Jay Busby, Yahoo Sports senior writer. He's riverside is what he is, right there by the river, having been there but never thinking about being in it or you know, in maybe swallowing some of that water. Like it's a whole different perspective. If you've been in New York and you've been to the Hudson River or the East River. Now you go there and you go, I wouldn't jump in there, or you imagine swimming in there, and the answer is no, they have no backup plan. The fact they may have to take the swimming out of this. I think they'll get this in because the weather is going to cooperate. When it rains, that's when it gets really bad over there. But this is a city kind of famous for disease plagues. It'll lead with that. I'm like, I think they're on the podium. I think they'd be on the Olympic podium for that. Don't know if they'd get gold, but they'd be up there. Yeah, yeah, Paul does it.
I think Seaton said it's like arrogance. Four years ago, they probably said, you know, we can do this, We'll sign a contract, we'll find a cleanup crew. The people said, yeah, we could do this, and then I'll bet you as they got closer to the day, it's like, yeah, you can't clean a river. I mean, it's dependent on the weather.
It's moving. You know, it's not a pool, it's not a blake, it's moving.
Well, it's like, I don't know anything about what the cleanup process was like, right, but you can't clean up the river without addressing the things that are soiling the river. And from the looks of it, not that boats are one hundred sent responsible for the problem, but I'm sure that they weren't helping. They're sure we're a hell of a lot of boats in that river.
Yeah, for the opening ceremony, absolutely, But I'm going to guess all of those buildings the past thousand years or so probably let us do this. But you're right when somebody goes, oh, no, we can do this. When somebody says they're going to build something. It never never happens on time ever, when they go how much side we got? We got four years? Oh yeah, we can do that. When are you going to get started? I don't know. We get started, I don't know, it's six months, eight months, I don't know. Never on time. When's the last time somebody did a job or they built something for you and they're like, hey, I got done early and I saved your money. It's one point four billion dollars they've spent to this point. Like, I know you want the visual and it is beautiful, especially at night. It is spectacular. Well, once again, we're not swimming in it. We may be on a boat. You may just be standing on one of the bridges, the pont Neuf. I don't even know if that's that might be a bridge over there, Todd, could you check, WELLF means nine. Is that to help you with But I just want to make sure I'm saying it pont Neuf.
Oh, that's that's right.
Yeah, I think there's a bridge over there, Yes, POM.
I had the press release from four years ago when they announced they were going to clean it up, and actually they said it's not only for the Olympics, but by twenty twenty three twenty four Parisians will be allowed to legally swim the river for the first time since nineteen twenty three they outlawed it. Back then, people would sunbathe but not go in it. It was illegal. They're saying though this. They built this gigantic reservoir to catch rain water and prevent it from traveling into the river. They said that will help for years to come and keep it moderately clean.
Oh.
I don't care what happens after this. I only care about the triathon. It sound like I'm going. Hey, also, the Paris, how's the river over there?
Instead of canceling the last leg of the try on, couldn't you find lap pools and just do like time trials for that last part of it.
I don't know how many swimmers you're going to have, and so you'd you'd be having probably quite a few time trials with doing laps there. But the fact that you don't have a plan B that's surprising, and that you will have the triathlon. Imagine if you're really good at swimming and then all of a sudden, the other two disciplines that you know, biking and running. You're like, I'm okay, but man, I really I take advantage of the water. I'm not going to get that opportunity, all righty get phone calls coming up, and let me see what else do I have? So we have swimming today in a pool. We have the women's gymnastics team finals, you have rugby, you have surfing as well. I just read an article that talked about the coral there in Tahiti like this where they have the surfing set up, that there's a real, real, real element of danger there of somebody getting hurt, Like you know, if you go in and those waves crash, you know, send you down to the coral reef. I mean, you can get cut up. I mean they talked about it's kind of heaven and hell. It's beautiful, but if you go under in those waves, pretty big deal, Pretty big deal. Did Kelly Slater want to be in, you know, in the Olympics with surfing, I wondered. I guess he retired, didn't he? But it feels like Kelly Slater in the Olympics Tahiti and these guys go all over the world, they're just waiting. They're kind of like, you know, meteorologists. They're like, all right, we got this way coming in. When's it coming in? It's going to be And then all of a sudden you just pack up and then you go, what a lifestyle. US men's gymnastics team gets a bronze. The US women hoops team rolled over Japan. Did we find out how this woman from China is?
I have seven eight?
She's seven eight. Now she can't jump, but she's still seven eight. And when you watch your play, she just by the time she gets down to the other end of the floor, they just throw it up, she catches it and then drops it in. But I think she had like forty two forty four points when I saw her play once, because everybody, I mean, Japan didn't have anybody over six to one against the United States. She's seven eight.
The photos are fascinating, Yeah, when she's playing like these club teams.
Oh it is. It's the pont Niff. It's the oldest standing bridge across the river in Paris, Okay. They said that at two twenty five BC. This was during the medieval time over there that they built the pont Niff. Okay, I've been on the pont over there.
Bridge nine yeah, or nine Bridge, nine Bridge, yeah, were there are eight others that no longer survive.
I don't know. There's quite a few bridges though there are. Yeah, there are beautiful, beautiful city. I loved it. People go, oh, the Parisians. I'm like, but that's part of it, that's who they are. Yeah, it's awesome. Yeah, and I think if you try to speak some French, then you know they're appreciative of that. Although I did. I went into I think it was a Hemingway bar, maybe it was named Hemingway. I remember trying to order a beer in French and the waiter finally said, I speak English too, and I go, oh, okay, may I just try it. I'm just trying.
It is funny when you go there and they're like, squoozy, just do it in English.
Just do it in English. I know, but it's just okay, well coffee, all right, great, well, okay. My wife, I think she speaks fluent Italian because her mom spoke Italian. And then she's trying it's in broken Italian. I like, and you could just see, you know, when somebody's listening and they're going, I'm gonna let her continue to go until I tell her and then oh God. Whenever we've gone to Italy, the kids are like, Mom, don't, don't do the Italian thing, but she does. God love her. Kelly Slater's been to qualify for the Olympics at age fifty one came to an end in Tahiti. He was eliminated in the round of sixteen.
How about a sponsor exempt? Wow, you got to get an exemption. He needed to reach the semis to keep alive. The chances of qualifying. Eleven time world champion.
You got to win at least twelve I think it is. Yeah, Tahiti looks pretty spectacular. I mean, if you're talking about destinations here, Tahiti, I haven't been there, Bora, haven't been there. Always sounds like you see those magazines where you're like, oh, yeah, that looks pretty good, and then it's like, how long does it take to get there? Probably a couple of days. I don't think I want to go someplace where it takes a couple of days to get there. All right, let me take a break. We've got more phone calls coming up, and let me see anything else I got.
I got. You can get to Tahiti direct flight sixteen hours, I can get you there.
That's it.
It's not so bad. No, I got you sixteen twenty from American Airlines. That's how much we have ahead, sixteen hours. And oh the cost I got you at business class middle I got you a middle SA coach for seventeen hundred bucks.
And i'd have to go business class direct flight. Yeah, yeah, more that times that time five? Business class yeah, time five? Is that what it is?
No?
No, no, you yeah, plus us Oh no, no, no, no, just me, oh no, no, no you your wife? No, yeah, yes, just like anner. Okay, that wasn't strange, And I did appreciate you guys going with me.
Well, you invite us to go out for a quick bite. Hey, you guys want to go get a quick bite. And then we all sat down with you, and then I was told to us, this is your romantic anniversary dinner in a foreign country.
Yeah.
We were in Ireland. Yeah, And but my wife was fine with it that. Uh, you know, if you guys went out and we kind of celebrated my anniversary together.
It was a little awkward though, to sit on the other side of the table and like, you guys are like enjoying things, and we're just.
Hey, so what else to do?
Oh?
I know, I know, well, I mean my wife and I were staring into each other's eyes and then meanwhile the dan It's are on the other side, going, uh so, what'd you think of? Will Ferrell? Yeah, I love you. The one spoon dessert was awkward. I love I know, I know, I love you too. Just calling you daddy.
We don't need to hear that.
She was not calling me daddy. That was a one timer. By the way, you can order the Daddy Bathroom. It is available at danpatrick dot com. Also me, oh, I can't. I'm not allowed to mention this yet. Can I seton what a new moonshine?
Uh? I don't think it's embargoed, but okay, you probably can if you are.
Okay, it's it's Hallepeno moonshine, and uh, I just got to find out when it's going to be available. I'll let you know this tastes. It was one of those where Seaton goes, just taste it lin kalapeno line. You're right, and I got the label sent to me. We'll let you know when you can order that.

I mentioned this in the first hour that there's a report the NCAA is ready to issue notice of allegations regarding Michigan's football program and Connor's stallions. Now the NCAA is prepared to issue this This according to the Wolverine dot Com and I guess the sign stealing scandal that hit the program during the twenty twenty three season under Jim Harball, and he was punished by the Big Ten with the three game suspension. Connor Stallions expected to be facing charges of failure to cooperate in an investigation both during and after employment. No current Michigan staffers are facing allegations of violations. However, one current coach allegedly deleted text messages between himself and Connor Stallions, though it's unclear that if that will be part of the NCAA investigation. So much of the focus has been on Stallions. There was a documentary coming out. I think it's entitled Sigins Steeler. It wasn't Sein Steeler question Mark. It just says Sigin Stealer, and it's set to premiere around the start of the football season. It's a part of Netflix's Untold Stories there. Sources tell the Wolverine dot Com the NCAA could seek a one or two year postseason ban. Says the university would likely fight that, though they would be willing to accept a fine of some kind.
Of course, of course, call the boosters.
Yeah, wait a minute, how much is going to cost us? All right, we'll pay that. Let's see, there's some thought the NC double A will try to make an example out of Michigan. That's because some within the NC DOUBLEA believe that Michigan was quote thumbing its nose at the NC DOUBLEA throughout the investigation. Really, uh, timeline they're looking at probably going to be right before the start of the season at least, that's what That's what we're hearing here. So just to give you an update there. It's the story the gift that keeps on giving. And then you got the Connors Stallions part of this with a documentary. A couple of phone calls. Uh Anna in Arizona, Good morning, Anna, what's on your mind today?
Good morning Dan five three one. I was just going to let you know that how much joy you bring to my life every day. I appreciate you and all that you guys do, poly Seaton, Marvin and A of course Fritzy. That was all I wanted to let you know. In your interview with my Stiest was amazing.
Well, thank you, eh Anna, thank you.
You have a great day.
Thank you.
Oh I'm having a better day now. Anna in Arizona. If she appreciates what we do, even you, Fritzy, even me, it's very lovely. Yeah, even you, Bill and Florida. Good morning Bill, what's on your mind?
Good morning Dan.
I wanted to expand a little bit on the triathlete or triathlon situation with the Dirty River.
Yeah.
I've competed in triathlons for probably twenty five years and in western Pennsylvania, but I've been up there in the summer. I've done several triathlons that have started off in pools. So if the pools eight lanes wide, you put a swimmer on each side, you stip the clock when those swimmers go out, so it's easily done. They have a nice swimming pool with the Olympics. I don't know if they have enough time to get the triumph line in there. The only kind of disadvantage if you don't do flip turns, then you're going to get screwed a little bit is the open water swimmer. But my point is it can be done if they want to do it.
Rivers to Dirty Yeah.
Well, that's good to know, Bill, that we did wonder that that you do have a few pools there that you could probably I don't know how many competitors are in it, but that seems like a more logical, sensible possibility than to just wipe out the swimming portion of this. I, of course, once again was breezing by and I stopped on my favorite team, the Chicago White Sox. They are absolutely positively horrible, and they were facing Kansas City. So Bobby Witt Junior, who I'm falling in love with. Man, he's a great player. He's got three or more hits in four consecutive games against the White Sox. He went four for five, had a Grand Slam. And well, the White Sox are terrible. They like embarrassingly terrible. You know, when you have the trade deadline and you know, sometimes you'll be like, oh, let's see if we could pick somebody from that organization or that organization. I don't know if they just went What about the White Sox now they do have It was only a couple of years ago when they were considered, you know, having best minor league. They had a lot of young talent, and then all of a sudden it went south, and it went south quickly. Now they're talking about Meji, maybe you get aj Perzinski to go in there and be the new manager. I'm like, can't get any worse Aj in there? Give us a few quotes sense of humor, but they're terrible. I mean this is historical. Is this could be a record setting year for the White Sox with an aptitude? And I think they've lost fifteen in a row, fifteen or six You know you've lost a lot in a row. When you can't remember, You're like, is it fifteen or sixteen? Not great? No? No, whatever it is. It's not great, not great. I don't know what they're where's their attendance rank next to like the Oakland A's, Like the A's can't wait to get out of Oakland. But I'd be curious, like, what are the White Sox drawing compared to a team that can't wait to get out of a city? The White Sox. I think when a new stadium and nothing says let's pony up some money for the White Sox. I mean we'd be playing a lot better if we Yeah, is that what it is? Yeah? If we only had better facilities here. Remember going that first year when they opened up the cell because I went to I went to the last game at Kamiski and uh, I thought, you know what, I should get to this ballpark.
There are team's drawing worse.
Now do you think they're a I was gonna say a tourist attraction, But are are they? Because you want to go out and see, Hey, how bad can a team be? Come on out, We'll show you and have they cut ticket prices? Like? Do they do they? I know it sounded like, oh d like that's what I would do. A funny, I know, I know I would do that. I would say, look, until we get to five hundred. How about the ticket prices are going to be five hundred. We're going to cut them in half until we get to until we play respectable baseball. Then we're gonna Uh well, I mean, wouldn't you do that? I want you the ballpark. This is when I never understood certain ballparks, certain cities just have a section for you know, students who can go there and you pay this price. I just want you at the ballpark. I want you to experience it. I want you to park. I want merchandise, concessions, all of that. You get none of that if nobody shows up. But if I'm able to get you at the ballpark, now, all of a sudden, you may go, hey, the team's not good. But I had a good experience. I go back to when I used to go to the Atlanta Braves games in the early eighties and they weren't very good, and we got to sit wherever we wanted to, but I love the atmosphere. Heere at Fulton County Stadium. And then all of a sudden they got good, and then everybody wanted to go, and then you had the Tomahawk chop and it was a big deal. But you still got to go and be in an atmosphere that you could go at any time and you could sit wherever you wanted to. Then they got good, and then I didn't go after that, Yeah, poem.
The White Sox are twenty seven to eighty two, thirty eight and a half game out in comparison to the A's. The A's are only twelve games out. The White Sox have lost fifteen in a row. They've been outscored this season by two hundred and twenty one runs. That's all time. With a lot of time left, they could end up being the worst team in the last one hundred and twenty five years. The only one worse according to Baseball Reference the eighteen ninety nine Cleveland Spiders. What a mess they were twenty and one thirty four.
Why is it that the Guardians didn't take the nickname spiders.
It was one of the final four options when they were looking.
That was a missed opportunity. Nobody, nobody cares about the Guardians. You want the spiders. What is a Guardian like it? The galaxy?
I know if I was a kid, though, I'd definitely buy this hat with a spider, I would too, sure, I would too throw back uniforms. How great would the spider mascot be? As opposed to like the kids get scared unless there's like some like random like history.
We don't know about what the spider like.
Ah, And the reason they got rid of the name of spiders was because, Oh, but wouldn't it be great if they had a spider hat and that you could buy that had like the little legs that were hanging over the bill of the cap.
It'd be great.
No, no, hey, it's a note such thing as bad ideas.
But you could have the spider web where you know there's a special seating area, yes time.
And even the concessions, you could have something shaped like a spider. You could buy ice cream in or French fries a Spider roll for your hamburger a sandwich.
I think they missed, they missed a golden opportunity. They can always change it back. I can't change you. I don't think so. I don't think so. You get like one change well, you know, the Washington Commanders, the Washington Football Club. I wonder if they changed that name again. I don't I don't know what too. I don't think it's going back to Redskins. But it feels like when do ownership like you go in and you're like, I don't want to be a commander or a guardian, but a Spider Spides.
Apparently the Spiders changed their name to the Perfectos at some point around eighteen ninety nine.
Well probably right round nineteen hundred, because eighteen ninety nine they were terrible, and they were like, we need to change our name. Correct. We're going to go to the Perfectos because we were the Imperfectos in eighteen ninety nine. Nailed it, yes, Paul So the eighteen.
Ninety nine Cleveland Spiders worst team in league history. The year before they were a good team. They were eighty one and sixty eight. They were a good team for the previous ten years. Their star player left in that offseason in a salary dispute. His name was Cy Young. They let him go. Probably bad idea.
Yeah, but what happened is Cy Young.
Yeah, he had an award named after him. They let him go. They were twenty they went from they went from eighty one and sixty eight to twenty and one thirty four. Okay, it's like when David Robinson hurt his back.
So isn't that the greatest war in history? That is correct, Cy Young's war when he left the Spiders, the Spiders would have been great. Man. Uh Dylan in Washington, Hey, Dyl, what's on your mind?
Good morning Dan and Dannett's I got I just wanted to do a quick shout out to Trinny Rodman, WSU Cougar soccer player back in the day for a year, never got to play because of a COVID year. But my real reason for Colin was I had a question about the on site kick. And I'm just curious because sometimes there's laws that are like, you can't do this, but you can't do this. Could there be like an audible where you maybe do a little pooch so you're declaring your on side kick. But it's kind of a faky situation to kind of mix it up. But the rules is a rule saying you can't.
Do this though, no he can't. You got to be transparent. There's no deception there, and you can only do it in the fourth quarter. Steven techs Hi, Steve, Good morning, Dan, Good morning.
Dan 's good ass dudes.
I think the NFL is knocking off the XFL with just talking to the coaches on the sidelines thing. Yeah, of course in one of those games. They do it all the time. But more importantly, gentlemen, the daddy robe. You're missing an opportunity here. Here's what you do. Your wife's had a long day, greener at the door, just wearing the daddy robe, some sunglasses, a cigarette in one hand, a martini in the other. Just let me say, Dad, Dan, daddy's very tired this morning.
Thank you, Thank you.
Steve.
By the way, speaking to robes, I know they're not called robes, but with Judo, whenever you watch Judo, it feels like they undress their opponent and then he's got to fix his robe. Couldn't they come up with a better uniform than the robe.
They're always showing a lot of chest and stomach quickly the men.
But I just I'm like watching this and it's like I'm gonna grab your robe and then you get back up and then you kind of have to tie your robe tighter.
It's like batting gloves. Just have to keep adjusting, you know, your batting gloves and then your armor, and then your knee and then your whatever. That's like the same version. They just have to keep retying their same robe.
Yeah, it just seems like it's a lot of a lot of work every time. You know, see this is where we you know, we we have all the answers every four years to these sports, or we have all the questions I should say, we're looking for answers.
Every four years. We change one hundred years of tradition. What's the story with the get up that they're wearing one thing? Cheato in Maryland?
I cheat o. What's on your mind?
How you doing?
Hey?
Do you think that there's gambling in the Olympics.
There's been gambling in the Olympics that they talk about grubs.
Wait a minute, well, what do you mean like fixing a match or something fixing in a something like.
That, like in seventy two immunits, you know, or like in two thousand and two in the Winter Games. So I've been reading this one thing about that there's been gambling and betting on some of these gangs here in the States.
Well, would I be surprised. No, the seventy two Olympics, that was just because Russia goes No, we didn't win it with that chance, and then we didn't win it in that one, and we get a third try and then we ended up winning. But that wasn't gambling. But would I would not be surprised if there is kind of fixing that goes on or gambling that goes on. Yeah, not going to be naive. Yes, I have a judo update for you.
This just in the jacket is called it uagi, and the competitors want it to be as loose as possible, so it has give when the other competitors trying to pull them to the ground or do a throw. There is a rule though the judge will check your uniform before to make sure it's not too ill fitting or loose, and can make you go back and readjust and tighten.
Okay, but why do we still use that?
I don't know. They said as traditional rule to belt has to be tight. The top can be blousey and open, but there's a limit to how much it can be out. And they will make you go back to your corner and readjust.
You all right, take a break? Last call for phone calls? What we learn, What's in store?
After this, be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAP.
Last call for phone calls, What we learn, what's in store tomorrow, all of that forthcoming. At least we're going to try final results of the poll question Seaton. Yeah, we got up there.
Should the NFL add in game interviews with the coaches that's got up to eighty nine percent now saying no.
Yeah, it just keeps ticking high. But apparently it's what the fans wanted. According to the NFA, Hey we're listening to you. You spoke and we delivered. Yeah. John Elway was on Pardon my take with the boys, and uh, well, here's the question for the Hall of Fame quarterback. How did you not get Josh Allen? I feel like he is exactly your type. I know he is.
And the glass I played with him, and I'm wondering, how long is it going to take him to realize that I passed on him and took.
Bradley and Chob instead. It's crazy, and it took me.
It took him to an alf holes because and I loved him, right, It just uh, you know, and you're right, that was probably my biggest mistake of my GM days.
I was not taking Josh. Well. He also took Paxton Lynch as well, and that didn't go well. You know, it's weird a guy who plays quarterback has a hard time locating the quarterback for his team. But that, uh, he wasn't alone. I know, the Seattle Seahawks really liked John. There were there were teams that like Josh Allen. I think that they just weren't quite sure because he played at Wyoming. You play in windy conditions, bad weather, and he was good his junior year, not his senior year. And I think that was the big concern was which one is. It's like Jordan Love. Jordan Love is second to last year and then his last year in college at Utah State. They were different and you weren't quite sure. Well, the talent level that he had was a little bit different. I believe I mentioned this earlier. Stephen Jones, the Cowboys vice president, he was on ninety six point seven the ticket and he was talking about selling the brand of the Cowboys.
You know, being a cowboy has a lot of advantages which we obviously are trying to sell to. Whether it's a DAC, whether it's a CD, whether it was Tony Romo, whether it was Jason Whitten or Zach Martin or Tyrone Smith.
You know, we coach him. Hey, Dallas is a low cost to live in place.
A lot of people like to move there because it is that way, there's no state income taxes. And then of course we do believe, you know, the power of the brand and the star that these guys can do better off the field. And they all have their their deal, some do them bigger and better than others, but you know, they got a chance to. In our opinion, they're earning power off the fields, you know, as big here in Dallas as it is anywhere. Do agents share that opinion, Well, they don't want to just give into it.
They know it's reality. Well, the reality is that CD Lamb, Dak Prescott and Michael Parsons aren't going to go you know what, come to think of it, you know, lower cost of living, no state income tax. You know, I'm going to have a break on this. Jerry Jones a businessman, Stephen Jones. They this is all about business, and that's the way you should approach it. If you're these players, your top end in your in your position, take top end money, don't go Now. I did say this before about Dak Prescott that the last time around, I thought, you know what, maybe takes less because he makes so much more off the field by being the Cowboys quarterback. I don't think that that really applied to what he was asking for, and he did very well with the last contract negotiation. All of this could have been prevented with Cede Lamb and Dak Prescott. Micah Parsons, maybe you get that started, you know, after this season, but all of this could have been prevented. But I'll go back to what I said earlier in the show, and Mike Florio has said this, dan Orlofsky has said this, Jerry is in the business of the Cowboys, not necessarily winning a super Bowl. Now that's what they said. It's about. You're constantly in the news constantly, and a lot of it is not warranted. This is it's a contract negotiation. I think Jerry just loves that his product is constantly talked about. Let me see Russ in Ohio. Hey Russ, what's on your mind?
Hey Dane, I want to talk to you about the triathlon situation over in Paris. I'm computed numerous triathlons and college trathlons tympically the competed lakes including I've rated Lake Erie outside of Cleveland. I googled French triathlons and they had a number of tathlons in Gilt in June, in Taffs. So there's other venues they could have used. It's like you're hosted an iron man in needs, so they could have had a backup at an wor all of the local lakes instead.
Of well, they wanted to have the presentation of having it on the Sene River now opening ceremony, it's spectacular. You're going to have that the location of it, and you know, look, they're going to try to get this in tomorrow. Vis Day and Sports History, Paul, I can't.
Wait to see the story turns out. In nineteen thirty Uruguay when soccer's first World Cup. They beat Argentina four two. Nineteen sixty six, England soccer team won the World Cup. And okay, this is at the Hall of Fame, the NFL's Hall of Fame. Nineteen seventy one. US President Richard Nixon gave the keynote speech at the banquet.
That's pretty cool. On this date in nineteen ninety four, Michael Jordan hit the first professional home run of his career and it came when he was playing for the Birmingham Barons and he homered against the Carolina Mudcats. Also Bruce Jenner nineteen seventy six, he won the decathlon gold medal at the Montreal Olympics. Todd, would you learn today.
A table tennis racket in the Olympus is not referred to as a paddle. It's called, in fact, a racket and pink pong.
You can call it a battle, all right, Seaton? No counter coach k big wine guy, yes, not as big as pop coach Pop Marvin. You have an invitation to go to Duke, Yeah, but not to Napa to go to the wine thing. Paully, what did you learn Duke.
And wine makes sense?
Wow, Todd, what did I learn?
