There is probably no better talk show at tackling the tough issues in sports than “The Dan Patrick Show.”
After a segment with Andrew Luck, the question was posed if the Colts quarterback was a “nerd.”
That spawned a whole other discussion among Patrick and the Danettes as to which NFL quarterbacks are “nerds” and which are “bros.”
And with that, the bro-nerd debate raged on (some excerpts):
@PaulPabst c'mon, Rodgers won regular jeopardy, ultimate nerd! @dpshow

Russell Wilson—bro or nerd?
Patrick: “I don’t think Russell Wilson’s a nerd.”
Andrew “McLovin” Perloff: “Oh, he’s a total nerd.”
Seton O’Connor: “He’s a different class of nerd than Andrew Luck.”
Patrick: “I don’t think you can date Ciara and still be a nerd, can you?”
Jay Cutler dislike is growing — reportPatrick: “Explain to me, what’s a quarterback nerd?”
Paul Pabst: “A guy who has the world at his feet, all the money, could live it up, but probably stays in and watches film on a Saturday night. Luck does. Marcus Mariota is a future quarterback nerd. You want a quarterback nerd, though.
Patrick: “Who is not a nerd? Jay Cutler is not a nerd.”
Pabst: “Jay Cutler is definitely not. Drew Brees is not.”
Pabst: “There are two different quarterback categories—nerd and bro. Jay Cutler is definitely first-team all bro.”
@THE_Dan_Patrick all time bro team. Favre Montana orJimmy mac?
