Welcome to Pat on the Back, the show where sports and comedy collide in the best (and most ridiculous) ways possible. Hosted by Pat O'Connor, the guy who's seen just enough games and told just enough jokes to think this was a good idea.
Every week Pat dives into the highs, lows, and dumb side of sports. From the biggest names to the biggest unknowns, this show brings you the kind of perspective only slightly above average rec league vet can bring to the table. No stats overloads and no filter, just jokes, stories, and everything else you wont hear on ESPN.
Turning Point for the Patriots? | Pat on the Back #75
Look guys when its your Girlfriends birthday you cant spend all day typing descriptions.
Was the Patriots win last week really the turning point for this team, or are the Raiders going to take us back to the sweet, sweet bliss of the Patriots not being good at football?
A second double get right game for the Chargers? Two weeks in a row? Not where anybody thought these guys would be after 4 weeks. Lets put this game on the back burner while we all tune in for a battle of the best between the 49ers and the Seahawks which should have the kind of that everyone likes to watch.
Also in College: Goergia to topple Bama? Texas not that different from Oklahoma? Indiana faces a test against Nebraska in this battle of undefeated teams.
Plus: Speed picks and Pats Plums Pick of the Week!

What if Aaron Rogers Went To The Patriots | Pat on the Back #74
The Patriots beat the Bills, the Chiefs are 4-0, and somehow I'm still thinking about what could've been if Aaron Rodgers had chosen New England instead of the Jets.
We're getting into the biggest stories from the NFL weekend including whether the Bills actually lost that game more than the Patriots won it, why Jalen Hurts seems to escape the blame that other quarterbacks get, and why it feels like were watching a ridiculous number if injuries this season.
Plus: are quarterbacks getting more passes batted down at the line? Miami absolutely handles Clemson, and we ask the biggest what if of all: What would the Patriots look like if Aaron Rodgers had come to New England?

Is Miami Actually For Real? | Pat on the Back #73
Football everyday is the only way we want to stay.
61 days of football in a row is upon us and creating the greatest nor'easter of sports time of year.
This week on Pat on the Back, Pat is not going to trash the Patriots. Seriously. Respect.
JAyden Daniels heads to London and the Packers and Bucs are both worse than we expected. Then we get into CFB where Miami finally gets some type of test against Clemson after cruising threw a much easier schedule.
Plus: Alabama's bizarre early morning trip to Mississippi State, speed picks, TNF Pre reactions, and Pat's Plums.
