Published Sep 11, 2024, 4:27 PM

Dan discusses the viewing numbers for the NFL this weekend and concludes that any reports of the eventual demise of the NFL were premature. And former NFL DL Mike Golic drops by to weigh in on the future of the NFL.

You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio Final Hour on this Wednesday, Dan and the dan 's Dan Patrick Show come on in Stay.

Awhile Mike Gullick Big Mike will join us coming up here in a little bit. Christian McCaffrey is iffy for Week two. Panthers lose their best player, Derek Brown, and looks like Justin Fields gets the start for Pittsburgh. The NFL's looking at the new Deshaun Watson civil lawsuit. There's a lot of whisper rumor speculation, and I think we have to be careful of what the Browns might do, what the NFL might do is their smoke? Is there going to be fire? Could the Cleveland Browns get out of this contract if they wanted to? And Mike Florio Pro Football Talk, who's a lawyer who's looking at the contract. He got a hold of the contract and there's language in there that it looks like if Deshaun Watson didn't disclose this latest civil lawsuit that stems back to twenty twenty, the Cleveland Browns could get out of this contract with two years remaining on that contract. I don't know if they want to get out of the contract. But this is where we are as of today. He's not going to be put on the Commissioner's exempt list, but they are monitoring this. But it is early in the process here. But the speculation yesterday out of Cleveland, or at least it felt this way, there were some members of the media that maybe grabbed the story, got the story. Maybe you were giving a heads up in the story and then started to spin this a little bit forward. Could the Cleveland Browns get out from underneath to Shan Watson's contract? All right? Eight seven to seven three, DP Show email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, our streaming partner and our radio affiliates as well, Big ten Saturday Night it'll be Indiana and UCLA, NBC and Peacock. Here comes Saturday Night, presented by Discover. The holdout of Hasan Read reached a new level on Monday because he missed the jets first game of the season. He came over from the Eagles in a trade, wanted a new contract. Now he forfeited his game check, which is nearly eight hundred thousand dollars by missing the game that cost him eight hundred. His holdout has now cost him nearly six million dollars. Fines in forfeited money doesn't appear to be any end in sight with this. It is so jetsy and that you trade for a guy and you think if you're going to trade for him, you're going to have a contract worked out, You're going to say to his agent what's it going to take, We're not going to trade for him, and then he's going to hold out. Hazin Reddick has been holding out and of course if you saw the Jets defensive line they got roughed up in the game Monday night against the forty nine ers, that would only help his bargaining. But I don't know how you cover up six million dollars in losses and are they going to this clean? Can you do that? Because I don't know the NFL Players Association, I don't know how that works when it comes to fines in forfeited money. Can the Jets just go, Hey, no worries here, We're gonna wipe out six million dollars. Are you going to get him back any getting back anytime soon? And will he make that much of a difference for this.

That's that.

Still. I don't have a problem with the Jets offense other than they didn't get the ball. They had it twenty one minutes. I had a problem with the defense, especially the allowing the forty nine ers to get into the second level on that defense, on just about every running play they got past the first line and then they went into the second level. That to me is really alarming because that defense is supposed to be a top five defense. I mean, you got a couple of players who are all pros there, and you know, maybe Sauce Gardner could be up for Defensive Player of the Year. He's that impactful. Quentin Williams like they have players. But just watching that, that was what was more concerning than I expect Aaron Rodgers. He has to ease into this. I didn't expect four touchdown passes. Now you have this game against Tennessee. Now this is a tricky one. I didn't expect them. You know they weren't going to beat San Francisco. Now you got Tennessee. Tennessee favored in that game they started on ILWE two. Now all of a sudden, things start to get interesting. Like Robert sala Is either going to get fired mid season, or he'll be up for Coach of the Year. I don't think there's any middle ground for him. I don't He's either going to get fired week twelve or he's going to be heralded as what an incredible job that he did. He lived up to Dan Patrick's hype of getting the Jets to the Super Bowl. Your coach of the year.

Yes, the Jets have at Tennessee against the Patriots, against the Broncos, winnable against the Vikings, at least on paper, those are winnable ish games. What if they have a slow start and they decide, well, why are we going to sign Hassan Reddick? Now we're we're one and four and we're going to bring him in and pay him seventy five million dollars to do what?

But then, if you start out four and one, do you go, do we really need him? We start out four and one, right, It's a conundrum. The NFL average twenty one million viewers per game opening week, the most watched week one on record. Stat of the day, stat of the day, best steat of the day, stat of the day.

Here comes that?

What stat of the day? All told one hundred and twenty three million people saw at least a part of one game, the highest total for an opening week since twenty nineteen. That long ago that there were articles the decline of the NFL. There were quite a few of them, the decline of the NFL. Now the NFL is teflon. You can have controversies, you can have political issues, you can have statements on football fields and practice jerseys. You can have off the field issues. You can have Deshaun Watson off the field. I mean Colin Kaepernick what he was involved in, kneeling on the sidelines during the anthem. They're resilient, they survive. It's kind of like New York City. Everything that's happened in New York City, New York City always comes back. And of course this being the anniversary of nine to eleven, you're there in New York and now I've gone down to the Freedom Towers just to pay my respects. But New York moves on. Yeah, they do whatever it is, whatever happens, they move on. The NFL is that way. They move on night. We'll figure it out. Nothing to see here. Move on. It's week to week. You forget about that story. You move on to the next one. Hey, we're gonna play all these games in foreign countries, international games all right. Now, years ago we'd be like, what are we doing? Why are they playing games? There? Went out here? Now, hey how about a Friday night game here? Hey, we're going to take over Christmas. Like it doesn't matter. It metastasizes. It's not getting smaller, it's getting larger. And then all of a sudden, you're gone. I mean, it's how big can it get? And I always use this analogy when I was at Sports Center and I had a boss, Steve Bornstein, who started the NFL network, and he said, we're going to find out how much Sports Center is too much? And they were re airing Sports Center, so we would do the eleven o'clock let's say Sunday night. It would reair all Monday morning up until like ten or eleven o'clock in the morning. And I'm going, who's gonna watch this? Well, anybody in college is going to watch this. You're either gonna watch late at night or maybe late at night, and then you'll watch in the morning when you wake up from your hangover or kids can't stay up at eleven o'clock at night, get up for breakfast, you get to watch Sports Center, and I was shocked by it. And you know, I get I underestimated the power of Sports Center at that time. And the NFL's trying to see how much is too much? And I don't know if it's gonna happen in my lifetime where all of a sudden there's a pushback and say no more. I mean, you've had political stuff, You've had bad guys, You've I mean, you've had players involved in murders. I mean, you've had a lot of things involved here. And the NFL is as strong as it's ever been, stronger than it's ever been. Throw in fantasy, throw in gambling. Gambling is just going to increase fantasy. The importance of that. I mean, it's they've yet defined their high water mark here.

Yeah, Pauling, I went back and looked about when the NFL decided to make the draft primetime. That was twenty ten. I found our rundown from the next day. Is the NFL crazy for trying to put the draft in primetime? Because that's what we're discussing. This is too much. It's a selection show, and they're going to put it on a Thursday night primetime rounds one and two, and there's a lot of questions, what are they doing?

Is this too much?

Not fifteen years fourteen years old? You're like, oh, it's crushing.

But also, if you look at the release of the schedule and the number of people, you know who your team's going to play. You don't know when they're going to play them, but people tune in. It's not like it's a mystery of who you're playing. It's like, hey, we're playing the Steelers. What week? Oh that'll be a Thanksgiving Oh okay, I might be able to go. We tune into that. Multiple networks carrying the draft two three days crazy. I mean, the appetite is insatiable here. Yes, Marmon, Yeah, me and Paul were just talking like where are you gonna go? Yeah?

What are you who are gonna complain to? There's there's no other option.

And they survived a billion dollar lawsuit CTE concussions survived, not a big deal, COVID, move on, it's okay, survived everything you can throw at the NFL. It just seemed to have a force field around them. There's a moat around their castle. You're not getting in, Yes, Mark Yeah.

They're the number one rated program or like five different networks, whatever network they're on, number one rated show.

Yeah.

When you look at the end of the year of top rated TV shows, it starts with the NFL and it doesn't end with the NFL, you know, until after the top twenty shows. It feels like it's they're getting monster numbers here. And I mean it's a testament to the fans who want more are getting more and the ability to be interactive with fantasy, because that's another thing. How many times you watch a game and you don't care about the two teams, but you care about your fantasy team, or you don't care about the two teams, but you're gonna bet. I mean, having that as a kind of a drawing power build in. I mean, that's that's incredible to have that you're gonna watch a game that you wouldn't normally watch. If I said we take away gambling in fantasy, how many games are you truly going to watch? How many games do you watch because of fantasy and gambling? And to have that ability to get you know, sort of people on the periphery who will watch the Bears and the Texans coming up Sunday night, and normally they wouldn't watch the game, but they've got CJ. Stroud on their fantasy team. Yes, Marvin. Yeah.

And when the NFL moves to eighteen games in the Super Bowl is on President Day weekend.

I mean, they did it again.

But if you're looking at now taking over, it feels like the NFL gets generous, like they go, let's give something back here. How about maybe July. We'll give you July, all right, do whatever you want to do with it. Sb's and the All Star Game, all right, good luck with that, all right, and then maybe it'll be June. May Hey, I we'll let you have that. But then you know, we're gonna have the lead up to the combine, and then you have the draft, and then we have free agency, and then all of a sudden, they go, commissioner needs a vacation. All right, what't you take June and July off? Come on, yeah, maybe just June. Then we'll come back. We'll get ready for camp and you know, OTAs and then all of a sudden, you know, I said to the dan NC the other day, I said, get ready. We're not getting a day off except for two days at Thanksgiving for the next six months. It's full speed ahead. It's football, and I mean you throw in college football as well, but that's just sort of an accessory. It's like any NFL, no college Oh yeah, I got a game tonight. All right, I'm gonna watch Coastal Carolina.

Yeah, Paul I had the top one hundred most watched US TV broadcast of twenty twenty three. Ninety three of them are football games, and I'm the ones that aren't the State of the Union, and they combine three network's ratings together. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade actually is up there. The Academy Awards, there's the SEC Championship, which actually beat the College Football Championship ironically, and then there's like some show called Next Level Chef which debuted on Fox.

I think it debuted.

After the Super Bowl, so that was Oh yeah, that's true. Ninety three of one football relateds.

All right, we'll take a break here, Big Mike Golick will join us and uh get his thoughts on a variety of things. Here. Your phone calls always welcome. See do we have a new poll question for the final hour of this program? We do we have who won the debate last night.

Come oh wait, sorry, oh.

Wait, sorry that was the wrong Wow, whoa what happened there? Yeah? I did watch a little bit. I mean, I think most people are locked in on who they're voting for, but I did watch because I wanted to see how they interacted or how they didn't interact, and were they respectful to each other? And when did the mud slinging start? You know that. It's sort of like, uh even the handshake to begin with was kind of awkward as well. But uh so, what's it? What is the poll question for the final?

Well, we got another suggestion here that's equally as an appropriate. I think Deshaun Watson a better football player or person.

That's gonna be a tough one. Dang, let's go with you. Let's go with the first one.

Yeah, better football player or person.

We'll see how that one goes.

Any other choices.

Hey, how about we go back to which was worse the Giants uniforms or the Giants play? Right now, that's at sixty one percent. The Giants play was worse than those ugly uniforms.

The Montreal Canadians. They look good on the Canadians they don't look going on the giants here. All right, let me take a break. It seems like a good time to take a break back after this from the Dan Patrick Show.

He's co host of Gojo and Golick on DraftKings Network's Mike Golick, former NFL defensive lineman went it to Notre Dame is oo ooh oh, my bad, seriously, my bad. Okay, let's just get it over with. Let's just get it over with. How painful was that watch for you with Notre Dame against Northern Illinois.

I was sitting right in the stands there watching that, and uh it was. And you know in week two of the College see and there were a number of big teams playing smaller teams that pulled out, you know, close wins. So my thought the whole time there was just get the win. Just get the win. Just get the win. It's all that matters. They went up fourteen to thirteen in the second half. I thought, Okay, maybe they'll put another field goal on them, another touchdown on them, and they'll win the game. And then Riley Leonard throws that interception that's returned thirty yards to the fifty yard line. A couple first downs later, they kicked the field goal, and unfortunately Notre Dame has done this before two years ago to Marshall certain wiom and my son Mike and Jake were here as well. So it it was crushing. And I say this in all sincerity, congratulations in Northern Illinois. I mean they they outplayed Notre Dame. They out It wasn't fluky, it wasn't Oh my god, all these turnovers. They outplayed Notre Dame in South Bend the first time they ever went there, and kudos to them, tip of the cap to them. Even Marcus Freeman said, Hey, maybe we're basically reading the clippings, but coaching staff and players and they let one slip away. They won't let one slip away that they couldn't.

Yeah, but the good news is it's a twelve team playoff and you know your your toughest game. I always say, all their toughest game is USC but then tell that to Notre Dame facing Northern Illinois, like, hey, weeke in and week out. You know, you just can't slip up. And they do this every year. It feels like there's that one slip up game where you go, what is going on here?

The problem with they should be able to absorb another loss and possibly make the twelve. But here's the situation. I think we'll only have two losses up to twelve, maybe a third depending on the season, but basically two losses and if Notre Dame. If Notre Dame wins out, they'll probably they'll they'll most likely be if they were to lose another one. You put that Northern Illinois loss up against somebody else with two losses, and it's probably not going to be as bad a loss as Notre Dame was to Northern Illinois, So that could have them with two losses on the outside looking in, possibly.

Talking to Mike Golick. He is the co host of Gojo Golick on DraftKings Network and you can see it from eight am to ten am. Do players care about the uniform when they do, like the Giants uniforms or the Steelers throwbacks or the Packers three like the players care when they're putting these things on.

I think most don't. I know, I never did. I think we are in an era of more style, where where players have stylists to match their clothes to go into walk into the game, you know, because they're on camera. So I do think players are more aware of style than they or years ago. But I think for the most part, once a game starts, they don't care. Every linemen are just trying to get air in their lungs, you know, Receivers are just trying to catch balls. DB's are trying to stop that. So I think once a game starts, no, they don't for the most part, they don't care how.

Closely are you watching the Deshaun Watson situation that it's not about necessarily play on the field. Now you have this civil lawsuit that's been refiled, and could the Cleveland Browns get out from underneath this contract?

And actually, Dan, everything is about play on the field. Right When he signed with Cleveland, it was because he had a great year in Houston and then sat for games because he wanted to be traded, and he didn't have any criminal charges against him, they were all civil and he settled with ID think twenty three of the twenty four or twenty two of the twenty three, and the Browns and Haslam signed him because he played great in Houston. That's why they say him and gave him that. Then everybody thought a ridiculous contract that was just recently beaten by Dak Prescott. And now the Browns they will look to try and get out of this contract because again of his quarterback play it being bad this time that they'll look for a clause or a well they have the clause or for a reason to get out of this deal now. So while it's horrendous of what went on off the field, of which he was suspended eleven games, find five million dollars, and we all know what he went through. But it's on the field, Dan that controlled all of this, and fans hated it. Fans hated the fact that the Browns signed him. But then after a while, you're just gonna root for your colors, You're gonna root for your jersey and try and root for a win. But now that he's playing bad, it's like, hey, can we get rid of him fast enough?

Which NFL fan base should feel the worst today.

Least Cincinnati though though Zach Taylor in weeks one and two in his time in Houston is one in ten, So that's a problem. That's a problem for the players standpoint of execute on the field and the coaches standpoint of not having them ready. But now New England, we know, even with Bill Belichick and girod Mayo, who was a linebacker coach under Bill, they're gonna have a tough defense. But for their offense, and I know they didn't have t Higgins and I don't think they tried to run the ball enough in what was a one score game going into the fourth quarter. But they have perennially been bad the first two games, but to me, there was no excuse to put up the small amount of points that they did.

As a former player, the difference between being hurt and being injured is what.

It's a gray area, man, It's a gray area. Was a gray area to me because I was a tenth rounder who started maybe my career and felt if I left the field, I may not get back on the field. So players are in different positions. For the most part, players are tough and we'll want to work through. Now. What has helped is I was pretty much get the one to make the decision on whether I wanted to play, whether I wanted to take the needle take the pill, of which I did many many times to play. Now, you know, you hear coaches say it's the doctor's decision. If the doctor says no, then it's no. We could talk our doctors into letting us play as long as it wasn't too detrimental or you know, blown acl or something like that. But we could talk the doctors into a shot or letting us play. Now you can't. Now it's a little more difficult to do that, and you'll kind of have your helmet taken away from you, which in all honesty is a good thing.

What is that?

Like?

How long does it take you get the shot to then you've feel the numbness or you don't feel anything.

Oh. I mean there was a year, my year in Miami, I got the cartilage torn in my ribs, between my ribs in the in game one. I got shot up before the game and at halftime for most of the season, and it feels I mean, listen, you could have hit me with a baseball bat and I wasn't gonna feel a thing. And I've had that shot up, my shoulders, shot up, my heel shot up. I mean, I've had a lot of things. And I'm not saying this to say I was this tough guy. I'm saying this as this is what was done when I played. I mean, there was a needle going into somebody all the time. And people can think about it what they want to think about. If they said, well, didn't you think about what you were going to be like at fifty, I said, I thought about playing on that Sunday and that was it. Again. Players are smarter and take care of their bodies better today. Don't get me wrong. It The shot though, worked. They numbed the pain but man, when it wore off, whether it was on the plane ride home or in a home game, when I went home and went to bed, you definitely felt that that's when the pain pills kicked in, and that's when you know it could lead to opioid problems for players. It wasn't pretty, Dan, It wasn't a pretty way to go about your business.

Quarterback play in Week one, we're seeing touchdown passes down considerably.

Why, well, I think defenses are ahead of offenses. You're not playing your starters in preseason games as much, though. I get it to a point because practicing with a team for a couple of days before you play them in preseason I think is actually more important. But still it's not completely full go. It's not usually it's not tackling into the ground. You certainly can't hit the quarterback when you're practicing with another team. And in preseason starters don't play a lot see Cincinnati and why they slow start one in ten in under Zach Taylor in the first two weeks, and defenses are normally ahead of offenses. I think that has a lot to do with it. I think we'll eventually go to an eighteen game schedule will probably go down to two preseason games, so you'll get even less work by the starters, and the offense really needs to be in a timing rhythm. Defense needs to as well, but the offense with all the different parts, needs to be in sync, I think more than the defense. And they're just not getting the reps in preseason that they normally had gotten years ago.

The commissioner has talked about the number of international games, and I was told by source that they're going to sell that package. The international games probably going to be sold separately. The question is how many countries do you think the NFL is going to try to play games in the near future.

As many dan as many as they can. I mean, they are trying so hard to globalize the game. I don't believe we will ever have a team overseas like Jacksonville in London, or let alone a division overseas. I don't think that will ether ever happen. But I think and and this isn't like baseball and hockey when you and and even football, where you have a lot of overseas players playing in our sport. You don't have a lot of that in the NFL. So the only way way the NFL gets global the globalization of it is to go play on their turf in their territory. So they'll try and play everywhere. And you got to be careful. I mean, you're talking ten hour flights, you're talking the grass is horrible. But the players are highly paid. Uh players, don't get me wrong, but they're still not the owners who are grabbing this money from from games overseas or out of the country and kind of conditions. Be damned situation.

But can we give the fan too much football?

Well, we can't give the the international fan too much football because they don't see it that much.

But obviously to us in the United States, can we can we give you too much? Can we be gluttonous that eventually you say enough, I'm backing away from the buffet.

No, no, I don't think so. The only day there hasn't been an actual schedule game after Christmas and Wednesday this year is a Tuesday. There's been a game on Tuesday because of a weather causing a game to you know, be postponed a couple of days. But that's good. Tuesday is going to be the only day an NFL game hasn't been scheduled. You cannot have enough. I mean it is. It is by far and away the most popular sport. I remember there were NBA analysts saying, oh, the football playing on Christmas isn't going to affect the NBA is still king on it on Christmas. It's a joke. I mean, it's not even close. And it rules the roost. And I think college football quite honestly a second, but nothing will affect people wanting to watch the NFL A big reason you can gamble on it.

Do you remember a certain time one time when an offensive lineman pancaked you, like it stood out out of all the offensive linemen that you took on with. It was just like, damn, that was different.

Well, there were so many times. One time I played against the late great Bill Freelik, who I actually played against for years when he was at Pitt and I was at Notre Dame, and then we played against each other in the NFL. Man he pancaked me. Well, I actually hurt my knee on the play and went on ir for four weeks. He just folded me backwards and I kind of bent back as I was trying to fight it on my knee. That that because I was injured. Was probably the one that I'll remember the most, but I'm not gonna lie. It happened a couple of times.

What was your super Bowl pick?

My super Bowl pick this year is Detroit, Detroit over Kansas City.

Okay, yeah, yeah, you know what. And I took the Jets because I thought did okay, yeah, I I thought that Robert Salah either gets fired after week twelve or he's the coach of the year. I think the defense is really good. I think Rogers will ease into things. They got some playmakers there, and I thought, and maybe it's trying to get you know, clickbait. I could have taken Kansas City. I took Detroit as well, you know, because Kansas City is right in front of you, and sometimes what's in front of you, we don't want to take that because nobody's going to notice if you say I'm taking Kansas City to win it all exactly right. But uh, I went kicking and screaming. I wanted to change my pick to the Chiefs. When I'm like, no, I'll stick with the Jets. I'm gonna have confidence in you know, an angry Aaron Rodgers.

Well, I think Aaron and I think the russ will kick off a little bit because we're used to seeing Aaron was kind of Pat Mahomes before Pat Mahomes. Maybe Pat Mahomes is a little more magician like. But Aaron on the run, rolling right, rolling left, rowing, dropping dimes was incredible. In this first game, he didn't do that much. He just got rid of the ball. You know. He was almost truly like a pocket quarterback when he can be pretty dangerous outside the pocket. And I think he'll get to that. And I agree. If they're going to go somewhere, they're going to be led by their defense. That's why it was a little disheartening to get run on the way that defense got run on because they're breaking in a new old lineman and they really got Garrett Wilson and Breise Hall as your two main weapons. But I get you wanting to go out on a limb because our mutual friend Stu Gotts picked the Jets and Chicago in the Super Bowl, so he really really went out on a limb.

Yeah, great to talk to you, my best of the family. Thanks for joining us.

You got it, did.

That's Mike Golick, co host of Gojo and Golick on DraftKings Network eight am to ten am, and yeah, had to hit him with the Notre Dame question at some point. Let's just get the band aid off there out of the way. So how about we take a break, Last Call for Phone Calls, what we learn, what's in store tomorrow, this day in sports history, all of that Right 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 app.

To summarize the Deshaun Watson situation we talked about pretty much throughout the show. Started the show talking about this, did Deshaun watch and disclose this new civil lawsuit that has surfaced that is being refiled now, but it comes from what happened in twenty twenty. If Deshaun Watson disclosed this to the Browns, the issue is over. If he didn't, and if he ends up being suspended for it, the Browns could escape the final two years of a five year deal. That comes from a source with the NFL. Stat of today has been brought to you by Panadi America, the official trading cards of the program. Last Call for Phone Calls what we learn, what's in store tomorrow? Basketball coming up tonight standalone game Las Vegas Aces against the Indiana Fever on NBA TV. That's spicy standalone. Let me see. How about Jim and Nevada. Hi, Jim, what's on your mind today? Good morning Dan?

I'm six five to eighty. Hey, I'm the Shahn Watson. We're not to talk or even condone or his behavior, but my thought was talking about you talked about the NFL business three years ago, the kids, eighty kids, twenty five years old, the criminals behind him in Texas. I would assume he's represented by attorneys. He goes to negotiate a contract with, you know, with the Browns, and then when we assume with this representation that there would be full disclosure or wouldn't he assumed that when it comes down to the Browns in the NFL.

I would think so if if look, if you've already had twenty three cases, then you've settled. Is there one that you're not bringing up for a reason? Unless he didn't know that there was another one. That's the only thing that I can think of. But I would if I'm the Cleveland Browns, I would say to Deshaun Watson. We need full disclosure. We can't have any surprises here. We're going out on a limb. We're going to make this contract guaranteed. We're going all in on you. No surprises, Okay, no surprises. Tell us everything you know and then then we'll do this contract. Maybe they he didn't tell them, Maybe he didn't know that this was going to be something that was refiled, but it certainly sounds like there's something there. I don't know how much is there, what's there, but something is there. And that's just the start to get some chatter here. Dave and Lancaster.

Hey Dave, Sorry, Dan, I just love calling just to say thank you to you and the show and the dan nets. Twenty three years ago on this day, I'm an Army vet. Ten years I was on the DMZ South and North Korea, and days like this you start reflecting on what you're appreciative of, and I just want to say thank you for always bringing joy and happiness into my life. All I have is my son and sports, and ten years in the army, that's the only thing that kept me going was the sports. So I just want to say thank you so much for always bringing joy and I just wanted to reflect on that today.

Well you dan having Yeah, thank you for the phone call day, thank you for your service there. Yeah, this is a day to reflect, it's a day to remember. That's why I love going to parades when they honor military, certain Vietna, certainly the Vietnam veterans. Like I've been to a Vietnam themed parade that was sparsely attended, and I felt sad because, I mean, we don't want to remember that those who served, but they still served. You know, did we like why they were there? No, we didn't. Did we know we weren't going to win that, Yes, but they still served. I mean they're not World War two heroes in people's eyes, but still they served. Whenever I see Vietnam or Pow or I served, I mean, there's so many of these people who give and give without thinking. And that's what you had, you know, twenty three years ago, first responders, emt you know, hospitals, nurses, firefighters, police office. We saw it and then we got to go back to whatever we were going to do. There were people who saw it that became their job that day for months and when my brothers in law would tell me they were asked to go to funerals because they didn't have enough firefighters to go to these funerals to represent. They were asked to go even if they didn't know the firefighter who might have died. And one of my brothers in law he said they would go to like, you know, three or four funerals or memorials a day, sometimes on top of working, you know, cleaning up World Trade Center and whatever. You could imagine seeing in the debris there at the World Trade Center. I mean, we throw around hero in sports. These are heroes. Those are true heroes. You go in when everybody's coming out a hero. Eli Manning will join us, coming up tomorrow, Our good buddy Ross Tucker will stop buying. How about this day in sports history Paul.

Nineteen eighty five. Pete Rose of the Reds got hit forty one ninety two to break the record by Ty Cobb nineteen eighty seven.

Day, here's a little quiz.

I think you'll get this one. Blank from the New York Mets became the first NL infield to hit thirty home runs and still thirty bases in a season nineteen eighty seven for the Mets, Howard Johnson, Howard Johnson's correct bop nineteen ninety nine, Brett Favre and Robert Brooks of the Green Bay Packers completed a ninety nine yard touchdown reception against the Bears to tie an NFL record.

Of course, you can't break it, Yeah, yeah, can't break it. Pete Rose's hit was off Eric Shao of the Padres. How about that. I'd love trivia like this. This is what true trivia is. This guy, this guy homered in his first at bat in the major leagues. He didn't homer until his final at bat in the major leagues. Now, he was only in baseball from nineteen sixty six to nineteen sixty nine. First did bat homeward, Last did bat homeward. Those are the only two home runs of his career. You're not going to get it, Johnny Miller. First, he played for the Yankees, so he hit a home run in his first ad bat, and his second career home run came in his final ad batch. Johnny Miller, that's what he did. H That's a great trivia. Great trivia. Uh Saturday Night, It's Big ten Saturday Night, Indiana UCLA on NBC and PEA Conker comes Saturday night percent bye discover final results of the poll question Seaton O'Connor.

Let's go, we have up there, which was worse the giants uniforms or the giants play right now they're play still eking out the uniforms. Uniforms getting a sturdy forty percent of that vote though.

Okay, yeah, I as soon as they came out on the field, I said to a friend, where they better be good today? And then all of a sudden, it didn't take long before they weren't very good. Any other poll results that you would like to wrap up? We decided to not do any of the more controversial ones. Good, that's probably good. Yeah, much to my chagrin. This actually not says chagrin. It is sugar chagrin. And we learned, we learned how to pronounce no, that's a bunch of crap. Well, the English version of dower they call it door.

They say it door, but for the rest of us, for like a hundred years, it's been the standard pronunciation in this country as dower.

Yeah, I've never heard dr. Nobody's ever heard of door. Yeah, it's dower.

Yeah, so whatever, I don't remember the caller's name. I'm sticking with Dower. Probably he was from San Antonio.

He could have been from Oxford or Cambridge, I don't know, but yeah, Todd, would you learn today? After once pitching him several potential SNL.
