This is an I-Heart podcast.

You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio.

I didn't know it was going to be this emotional.

I, of course, had surgery on Friday.

And I walked in, and the first person I see is Fritzy, and you looked emotional.

And I do appreciate that.

You were sending me text messages throughout the weekend.

So once again, every day is the Super Bowl. Hashtag Warrior, if there's a comeback sports anchor

sports Emmy to hand out this year, I would like to think that I'm maybe the leading candidate.

But thank you for the emotions that you were sharing this morning,

Todd. You're very welcome. None of us really jumped out, especially me, to open the door for you, you know, while you had to sling on. No, no, no. We'll keep it positive. Seton came out to my car. Really? Yes, he did. And he said, can I help you? Do you need any help getting out of the car. That's very nice.

And once again, that was just a small thing.

He wasn't going to make a big deal out of it. I wasn't either. We're team. It's all about us. And I'm here today. 50% of this audience on Friday didn't think I would show. If you're watching on Peacock, I did try to go muted tones so my sling would kind of blend

in with my hoodie because it's not about me standing out where I would wear a white t-shirt

with the dark sling that I have on my surgically repaired shoulder.

I'm ready to go, though, because once again, every day is the Super Bowl. 8-7. By the way, if you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app, and our radio affiliates around the country. IHeart Radio, Fox Sports Radio as well. Phone calls. We'll get to those. Operator Tyler is sitting by. Hall of Famer Steve Young a little later on. We'll talk some

college football with the former member of College Game Day, David Pollock, and some baseball. We have a

World Series matchup that everybody, well, almost everybody was hoping for. Jeff Passon from the

mothership will stop by as well. Play of the day, poll question, stat of the day,

all of that forthcoming. Might be the busiest time of the year in the sports calendar.

So much so that we might be just touching on a variety of topics, not delving into them too

deeply. But your phone calls are welcome. Email address, DP.danpatrick.com, Twitter handle at DP Show.
