0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:08.400
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio hour or two on this Wednesday. Spend a

0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:11.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of time talking about the Patriots, Tom Brady coming

0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:15.239
<v Speaker 1>back to town, check in with the Fighting Irish and

0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame. Brian Kelling will join us head coach. I

0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:21.640
<v Speaker 1>got Cincinnati coming up. Brian used to coach at Cincinnati.

0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Not exactly the same as Brady coming back to New England,

0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:28.320
<v Speaker 1>but you know, we'll try to hype it as best

0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:31.520
<v Speaker 1>weeken eight seven seven three d P show email address

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:34.280
<v Speaker 1>DP at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle a DPS show.

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:37.240
<v Speaker 1>We have a new poll question, I believe for hour

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:40.880
<v Speaker 1>two McLevin give the results of the first poll question

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:43.120
<v Speaker 1>and the new one. If you could go back in

0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:45.640
<v Speaker 1>time and be a beat reporter for one of these teams,

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 1>which would be the Patriots, Cavaliers or SEC Football. Patriots

0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 1>are seventy okay, thought provoking pole. Which of these quarterbacks

0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 1>is most likely to end his career going wide or

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:05.440
<v Speaker 1>with the same team, Ben Roethlisberger, Russell Wilson or Matt Ryan.

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Ben Roethlisberg because he's not going to any place else.

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.400
<v Speaker 1>If you can't play in Pittsburgh, nobody is going to

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 1>take Ben Roethlisberger, Russell Wilson, I don't think ends his

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:25.640
<v Speaker 1>career in Seattle. Matt Ryan, I'm gonna say he ends

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:28.920
<v Speaker 1>his career in Atlanta. I thought that there was some

0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:32.479
<v Speaker 1>doubt if they did take a quarterback, but I would

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.479
<v Speaker 1>say Mattie Ice ends it in Atlanta and Big Ben.

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, I look back on what the Steelers could

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 1>have done in the offseason. You don't like Mason Rudolph.

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:45.200
<v Speaker 1>You're taking a flyer on Dwayne Haskins. Ben, you know,

0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:47.440
<v Speaker 1>was supposed to be new and improved and the Tom

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 1>Brady TV twelve diet and pliability, and he shaved his

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 1>beard and everybody went, god, Ben looks great. He looks

0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 1>great because he doesn't look like he's in zz top anymore.

0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:01.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he could be Chris Stapleton's doppelgang or the

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 1>country singer like, come on, let's go man. He looks

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Raggy's in shape. He shaved his beard. Chris Stapleton probably

0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.839
<v Speaker 1>has more mobility than Ben does. Wow. But they could

0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 1>they could have gotten Gardner Minshew. That's a sixth round

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:22.400
<v Speaker 1>draft pick. If you don't like Duck Devlin or Josh

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Dobbs or Dwayne Haskins or I mean, then why not

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:31.840
<v Speaker 1>get somebody, Get somebody who is a legitimate NFL quarterback

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:35.799
<v Speaker 1>just in case this doesn't work out. I mean, you're

0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:39.079
<v Speaker 1>a playoff team from a year ago. I mean, it's

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:42.639
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be odd, it's gonna be awkward. If Ben

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:46.680
<v Speaker 1>continues to spiral down, the offense doesn't do anything, then

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.799
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna have decisions to make. Ben will have decision

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:52.920
<v Speaker 1>to make. Does he want to be a backup? Is

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:54.720
<v Speaker 1>he willing to be a backup? Is he willing to

0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 1>be benched? Is there somebody you're going to put in

0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 1>who's so much better than Ben Roethlisberger. Everybody's overreacting to

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:03.799
<v Speaker 1>the end is near for Ben. We know that I

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:07.240
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't have brought him back this year, said that, but

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 1>he's here. It's three games. Let me wait, you got

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 1>three games coming up and then you have a bye week.

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.520
<v Speaker 1>I know that everybody looks back and goes, hey, they

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:21.679
<v Speaker 1>want eleven in a row to start this season. Yes, yes,

0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.080
<v Speaker 1>and they almost beat Cleveland in a playoff game. I

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.920
<v Speaker 1>got all of that. I wouldn't overreact to Ben to

0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>the point where I go, who are we putting in there.

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.520
<v Speaker 1>When do we plan the retirement ceremony? Like, let's just

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.840
<v Speaker 1>wait a little bit here and then maybe it's not

0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna work out. But why didn't you get Gardner Minshew

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:45.240
<v Speaker 1>sixth round draft pick? He can play, and he can

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:48.920
<v Speaker 1>be a bridge quarterback and you can make the playoffs.

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I believe with Gardner Minshew. But here you are ready

0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:58.080
<v Speaker 1>to go. Let's move on from Ben Roethlisberger. Let me

0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:01.120
<v Speaker 1>wait a little bit here, all right? So I would

0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.840
<v Speaker 1>say Ben will end his career because he's not gonna

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 1>play elsewhere. Yeah, Seaton, why aren't the Falcons any good?

0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what is it? What is That's like

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 1>one of the biggest mysteries to me in NFL history

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 1>is why twenty eight to three, Seaton? They aren't winning

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 1>lots of games? Twenty eight to three? Because I was

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.040
<v Speaker 1>starting to think, you're like dies, Mattie Ice finish his

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 1>career there, and in my head I was thinking, no,

0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.120
<v Speaker 1>you know what, he might want to pull a Tom Brady,

0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.680
<v Speaker 1>go someplace he can get some weapons around him, and

0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:30.360
<v Speaker 1>he get oh wait, that's Atlanta. Yeah, oh wait. He

0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of had that his whole career. Yeah. They drafted

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:38.039
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Pitts. I mean, and I know I've said I

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>thought Atlanta could be one of those borderline playoff teams.

0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:43.839
<v Speaker 1>I thought that they would be a lot more competitive

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.719
<v Speaker 1>than people think. It's only three games. It's only three games,

0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:50.240
<v Speaker 1>three weeks. That's it. We're gonna look back in ten

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:54.599
<v Speaker 1>weeks and go, man, we thought that there'll be some crazy,

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:58.840
<v Speaker 1>crazy declarations. They were already every week you gotta have

0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:03.599
<v Speaker 1>a hot take. But I would just let's let's slow

0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:07.640
<v Speaker 1>down just a little bit here. After three games. What

0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.200
<v Speaker 1>if the Buccaneers are two and two after four games?

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:12.919
<v Speaker 1>What if they lose to New England? How do people

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:16.440
<v Speaker 1>react to that? What if the Chiefs lose another game

0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:19.599
<v Speaker 1>in the next couple of weeks, how are we going

0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.400
<v Speaker 1>to react to that? Vegas still says the Chiefs are

0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 1>the favorites for the Super Bowl, followed by Tampa back

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 1>and that's right, that's correct, because let me see how

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.560
<v Speaker 1>it plays out with the Rams be you know, let

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.560
<v Speaker 1>me let me get ten games in, see how they play.

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.360
<v Speaker 1>How healthy are they? How's the rest of the division.

0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:43.080
<v Speaker 1>That's where you know, people don't handicap. Wait when this seat,

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:47.000
<v Speaker 1>before this season started, and people thought Aaron Rodgers, he's

0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 1>going to come back, he's gonna play, and he's on

0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:53.480
<v Speaker 1>his redemption revenge tour, and that you're going to just

0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 1>plug in thirteen wins. And I said, didnaybody look at

0:05:56.360 --> 0:06:00.840
<v Speaker 1>the schedule like it's a tough schedule. And if they

0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 1>won eleven, I think Vegas had them at ten or

0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 1>eleven maybe at the most. It's hard, hard to win

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 1>those games, even Dallas in a bad division. Should they

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:18.839
<v Speaker 1>win twelve games, probably or it's not out of the

0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 1>realm of possibilities in my opinion. Not a difficult schedule,

0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:27.400
<v Speaker 1>not a difficult division. And you seem to have a

0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.640
<v Speaker 1>good enough offense to cover up what you may lack

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:36.320
<v Speaker 1>on defense. But by the way, the Mike McCarthy calling

0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:39.960
<v Speaker 1>a time out clock management m Peyton Manning said this

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:43.120
<v Speaker 1>on Monday night where we're all watching and we're all

0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:46.560
<v Speaker 1>saying the same thing. Uh, Mike got a called time out,

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:50.000
<v Speaker 1>here's Peyton Manning. Dallas needs to call time out. I

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:51.800
<v Speaker 1>don't think they if I don't know if Philly's got

0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:57.160
<v Speaker 1>to go for it or not? Right time out? Mike, know, yeah,

0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:00.600
<v Speaker 1>just thinking about it. Why someone in his ears you

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 1>have like the clock management guy saying, hey, we can't

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.120
<v Speaker 1>call it here, it's not well. Last week they couldn't

0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.159
<v Speaker 1>see the clock with the chargers. They couldn't even see

0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:10.560
<v Speaker 1>the clock. So maybe tonight they can't see it either.

0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:12.960
<v Speaker 1>They are playing at home. But I guess they're gonna

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.520
<v Speaker 1>be happy with twenty to seven. Okay, it feels like

0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Peyton and Eli made this a bigger deal. By the way,

0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 1>does Peyton Manning sound a little bit like Jimmy Stewart

0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 1>the Great actor? Could you give me a little bit?

0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Mike needs to call it time out? Yea, yeah, yeah,

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.600
<v Speaker 1>you gotta college a time. I'm there. I don't know

0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:35.240
<v Speaker 1>what he's thinking. I don't I don't think. I don't

0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:38.880
<v Speaker 1>think he thinks that, ohmha. I don't think he thinks

0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:41.080
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles are gonna go for it. Dallas needs to

0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.640
<v Speaker 1>call time out. I don't think they probably don't know

0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 1>if Philly's gonna go for it or not right time out? Mike, Yeah,

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.880
<v Speaker 1>he's thinking about it. Why someone someone in his ears?

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:56.080
<v Speaker 1>You have, like the clock management guy saying hey, we

0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 1>can't call it here, it's not well. Last week they

0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:00.320
<v Speaker 1>couldn't see the clock with the chargers. They couldn't even

0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:05.680
<v Speaker 1>see the cloths. Well, I couldn't say so, so sorry,

0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:18.400
<v Speaker 1>what's the big idea, mister, mister potter. Oh all right,

0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:24.040
<v Speaker 1>here's Jerry Jones, the Cowboys owner, on Mike McCarthy's clock management.

0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Other teams have issues with clock management. That's part of

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:31.920
<v Speaker 1>the game, and so let's let's cut things some slack

0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:36.040
<v Speaker 1>and realize that if you do enough plays. We were

0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:39.080
<v Speaker 1>critical of Garrett when he was here, and don't you

0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:43.200
<v Speaker 1>think that goes with the territior. I know firsthand Mike's

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:46.959
<v Speaker 1>capability he saym have know how he approached it to

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 1>logic that he uses, and I'm not a bit concerned

0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:54.880
<v Speaker 1>about his ability to manage a tight situation. I don't

0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:58.000
<v Speaker 1>want to hear that other coaches or other teams have issue.

0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:04.400
<v Speaker 1>I only care about my coach. That's it. It's like

0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.320
<v Speaker 1>when your kid uses an excuse to say, well, somebody

0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.600
<v Speaker 1>else is allowed to do this, or they got in trouble,

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:13.319
<v Speaker 1>and then you'd always say, well, if somebody jumped off

0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 1>a cliff, would you jump off a cliff? That My

0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:19.480
<v Speaker 1>parents would always say that, yeah, if Steve Wolfe jumped

0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:21.720
<v Speaker 1>off a cliff, would you jump off a cliff? Wolf

0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:25.880
<v Speaker 1>was an issue yeah, he was ours was the brooklyn Bridge. Well,

0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:29.240
<v Speaker 1>if he jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge, would you go. Yeah.

0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't care about anybody else's clock management. I care

0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:35.480
<v Speaker 1>about my coach and do I think it's a big issue. No,

0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:38.720
<v Speaker 1>But is it an issue when a game is on

0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 1>the line or time is winding down and it's only

0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.400
<v Speaker 1>the first half. But it was at the end of

0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:49.840
<v Speaker 1>the game against the Chargers, I couldn't see the clock. Okay,

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.760
<v Speaker 1>at what point do you say during the game when

0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:56.920
<v Speaker 1>you're coaching, I can't see the clock. I need somebody

0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:00.840
<v Speaker 1>to help me because you might say, look, my sightline

0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.680
<v Speaker 1>is not good with this new stadium. I need somebody

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.640
<v Speaker 1>to keep me honest because we're watching that game when

0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:10.280
<v Speaker 1>we're going mack. He just letting us tick down, tick down,

0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:14.000
<v Speaker 1>and then admitted afterwards I couldn't see the cluck. Yeah, Pully,

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.880
<v Speaker 1>it's possible. Jerry Jones is not familiar with the Green

0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Bay Packers and Mike McCarthy's history of the clock management,

0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:21.600
<v Speaker 1>because any Packers ban listening right now, I will tell

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.480
<v Speaker 1>you that was one of the biggest chips against him

0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:26.360
<v Speaker 1>during his time there. He had a bunch of those

0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:28.240
<v Speaker 1>back in the Green Bay day and it's really possible

0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:31.920
<v Speaker 1>that you know, Jerry doesn't know. He doesn't watch a

0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:36.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of Packers games on the side back in the day. Yeah, well,

0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.240
<v Speaker 1>to me it would be a big deal. I want

0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 1>my coach to be you know, it's all about detail

0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.679
<v Speaker 1>the NFL. When you coach is attention to detail because

0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:48.559
<v Speaker 1>the smallest thing will help you win or it can

0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 1>cost you. Again somewhere down the road, Age seven seven

<v Speaker 1>Twitter handle at DP show. By the way, the latest

0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.800
<v Speaker 1>episode of that scene. I talked with Bill Burr about

0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:06.720
<v Speaker 1>his role in the Star Wars series The Mandalorian and

0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:11.880
<v Speaker 1>fans push back because he had a Boston accent. Here's

0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Bill Burr. I've gotten pretty much nothing but positive reviews.

0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:21.360
<v Speaker 1>I did get some crap about my accent with someone's

0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.880
<v Speaker 1>like I've never heard of Boston accent and outer space

0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:26.760
<v Speaker 1>and I was just like, well, how about English. Doesn't

0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:28.440
<v Speaker 1>it seem weird that that you would travel that far

0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:31.640
<v Speaker 1>away from Earth and everyone's speaking English. C three po

0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:35.000
<v Speaker 1>has an English accent? Say stop it. You just know

0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:36.800
<v Speaker 1>that that's where I'm from, because the reality is, I

0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.040
<v Speaker 1>don't have a Boston accent. I have a slight one,

0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.760
<v Speaker 1>but I have an East Coast sort of. But they're

0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:43.720
<v Speaker 1>making it seem like I was, you know, out there

0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:49.840
<v Speaker 1>being like, you know, dude, grab your lightsaber. We talked

0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:52.360
<v Speaker 1>about a lot of things, including his approach to acting

0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 1>and how different that is from stand up and you

0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Slash that scene with Bill bur Fred in West Virginia. Hi, Fred,

0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:08.320
<v Speaker 1>what's on your mind today? Hey? DP, appreciate you guys

0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:12.120
<v Speaker 1>taking my call. First time caller, a long time listener.

0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.360
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to say a couple of things about Ben Roethlisberger.

0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:20.880
<v Speaker 1>I agree with everything you said. Number one, I think

0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:28.120
<v Speaker 1>that for years Ben has come in to the start

0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:31.120
<v Speaker 1>of the season not in shape, and it takes in

0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:36.400
<v Speaker 1>three or four games to get in shape. Okay. Second one,

0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:43.600
<v Speaker 1>if he had taught me John surgery and I'm a

0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Steeler fan. I love Ben. I love the room. He's whatever.

0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:50.280
<v Speaker 1>It sure doesn't look like his arm doesn't look much stronger,

0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:55.040
<v Speaker 1>and when Narraiders were pounding the heck out of him,

0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:59.120
<v Speaker 1>he looked terrible. I mean you could tell every hit

0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:04.040
<v Speaker 1>he got he felt. I'm not sure whether the Steelers

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:07.960
<v Speaker 1>have done what they normally do, don't be wrong. A

0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:12.080
<v Speaker 1>perfect organization, great organization, but I think he dropped the

0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.440
<v Speaker 1>ball with Ben here. I do too. I wouldn't have

0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:16.959
<v Speaker 1>brought him back, but they brought him back at a discount,

0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.679
<v Speaker 1>and for some reason, I guess they think or they

0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:24.040
<v Speaker 1>thought obviously that hey, we can make another playoff run.

0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:27.439
<v Speaker 1>I just think with the number of quarterbacks who were available,

0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.080
<v Speaker 1>and then you took a running back and Naji Harris

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.160
<v Speaker 1>might be turned out to be a very good running back,

0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:36.200
<v Speaker 1>but he's a first round draft pick at that position.

0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Did you need a little more help on the offensive line.

0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Was there somebody there you could have gotten that would

0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.560
<v Speaker 1>have helped you. Ben cannot do this without a really

0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:50.240
<v Speaker 1>good offensive line. And I think that as much as

0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:55.160
<v Speaker 1>we like that defense and they got playmakers there be

0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:58.079
<v Speaker 1>Ben is not moving. He's not moving around at all,

0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:01.400
<v Speaker 1>not that he could, but he gets it out quickly

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:05.240
<v Speaker 1>there there. You know, their average yard per you know,

0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:08.200
<v Speaker 1>per play is probably among the lowest as far as

0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:11.520
<v Speaker 1>pass plays. It's very quick, and he he targeted Nag

0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Harris I think seventeen times. That shouldn't be your go

0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:20.120
<v Speaker 1>to guy unless you're just trying to have two yards,

0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:23.520
<v Speaker 1>three yards, five yards. Yes, mcgloban. Do you remember in

0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:26.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty nineteen they big bang got hurt and they went

0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:29.320
<v Speaker 1>around and traded for Minca Fitzpatrick. They gave up. Yeah,

0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:31.480
<v Speaker 1>like they're like, we're not going to tank. He's bigger.

0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:34.040
<v Speaker 1>They could have tanked that year and drafted a quarterback. Yeah,

0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:37.280
<v Speaker 1>but Fitzpatrick who has been really good for them. But

0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:40.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, they thought they had magic last year. And

0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.120
<v Speaker 1>I think there are a lot of analysts who looked

0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:45.160
<v Speaker 1>at the Steelers and said they're undefeated, but they're not invincible.

0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 1>They're not a great team. But is that like when

0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.760
<v Speaker 1>the Giants took sa kuon Barkleaves. I thought they could

0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:51.720
<v Speaker 1>get one more run out of Eli. Yeah, like at

0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:53.760
<v Speaker 1>some point you got to start over a quarterback. I know,

0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:55.720
<v Speaker 1>And I hey, I was all in on the Giant

0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:58.160
<v Speaker 1>steak and say Quon because I thought, okay, that helps.

0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Elion got a safety valve. You got a team that

0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:02.960
<v Speaker 1>looks like and they spent all that money on their defense.

0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I thought, okay, there's some magic here. They might be

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.880
<v Speaker 1>able to pull this off. Obviously it didn't go as scripted. Yes,

0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:11.360
<v Speaker 1>pointing how much could this be about loyalty? Tomlins got

0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:13.280
<v Speaker 1>a quarterback who's been there, and I know he won

0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowls a long time ago, where Rothsburger has two.

0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:18.120
<v Speaker 1>If you remember the last few years of Dan Marino

0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:21.400
<v Speaker 1>in South Florida, they should have moved on from Dan Marino,

0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:24.840
<v Speaker 1>but he's a huge legend, a first ballot Hall of Famer,

0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:26.960
<v Speaker 1>and that was back in the day when they didn't

0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:31.520
<v Speaker 1>replace guys. This is kind of anti Bill Belichick, anti

0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:35.880
<v Speaker 1>teams moving on. But that is a loyal franchise. You know,

0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:39.840
<v Speaker 1>they've had what three head coaches, and maybe to a fault,

0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:42.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, the Giants to the same way. I thought

0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.160
<v Speaker 1>that they held on to Eli too long, loyal to

0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.520
<v Speaker 1>a fault and then you wake up and you go,

0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:50.040
<v Speaker 1>now what do we do? And then you got to

0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:53.320
<v Speaker 1>start over again. Those franchises aren't used to starting over,

0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:58.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, rebuilding, reloading. There's a big difference. Yeah, mclubbing. Yeah.

0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Then you have guys like Kyle Shannon and I think

0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:03.040
<v Speaker 1>famously want a new quarterback every six weeks. You know

0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:06.960
<v Speaker 1>John Gruden. Yeah, John Gruden's got Derek Carr playing at

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:11.760
<v Speaker 1>an MVP level, and John Gruden would probably say, Man,

0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I'd love to have Aaron Rodgers or I'd love to

0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:18.200
<v Speaker 1>have Kylerton. You know, no, John is never happy with

0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.760
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback he has. It feels like and he's won,

0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.160
<v Speaker 1>he won the super Bowl. He didn't have a great

0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:25.640
<v Speaker 1>quarterback when he won the super Bowl. Yeah, it's gonna

0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:27.840
<v Speaker 1>be interesting to see the options that you just mentioned Shanahan.

0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Garoppolo is having a nice season, but his future is

0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.880
<v Speaker 1>not there. A team like the Steelers could pick him

0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:35.680
<v Speaker 1>up for a what I don't know what a third

0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:38.720
<v Speaker 1>round draft choice, and he's not that terribly expensive. I

0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:43.840
<v Speaker 1>remember talking to somebody who knows Sam Darnold, and I

0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:47.040
<v Speaker 1>think he thought that Pittsburgh was a viable opportunity for

0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:50.080
<v Speaker 1>him because he could go there. If they didn't keep Ben,

0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:53.160
<v Speaker 1>then you got somebody you can put in. And also

0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:56.440
<v Speaker 1>if he was going to be the backup, because Ben

0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:59.720
<v Speaker 1>would know that he had one more year. But you know,

0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:04.400
<v Speaker 1>you go, hey Washington doesn't Dwayne Haskins, Let's take him.

0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:09.880
<v Speaker 1>I still Gardner Minshew makes more sense, or at least

0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:12.560
<v Speaker 1>it's a sixth round draft pick for a guy that

0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:15.960
<v Speaker 1>I think would would keep you in playoff contention. If

0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:18.159
<v Speaker 1>they would decide to go to the bench. All Right,

0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:20.359
<v Speaker 1>we'll take a break. We'll get some more phone calls

0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:23.639
<v Speaker 1>coming up. We'll talk about the Lakers media day where

0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:28.520
<v Speaker 1>yes Age was the big topic of conversation. When we return,

0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:31.240
<v Speaker 1>he's the winning his coach in Notre Dame history. Brian

0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:33.320

0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:50.440
<v Speaker 1>know when you were getting those cards and you open

0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:52.040
<v Speaker 1>them up and you're like, oh, I got this one,

0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.920

0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame beat Wisconsin forty one thirteen. It's one of

0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:16.640
<v Speaker 1>those games where I went, man, it's pretty close. Then

0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:18.800
<v Speaker 1>I walked away, did something else. I came back and

0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:21.680
<v Speaker 1>I go, WHOA. This got out of hand quickly. Notre

0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Dame will host Cincinnati on Saturday. With that when Brian

0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Kelly became the winning is head coach in Notre Dame

0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:32.240
<v Speaker 1>history with win number one oh six, breaking the previous

0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:35.760
<v Speaker 1>record held by Newton Rockety. The Hall of Famer Brian

0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Kelly joining us on the program. How did you celebrate

0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:45.879
<v Speaker 1>that victory? Coach? Pumper traffic getting out of Chicago on

0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:51.320
<v Speaker 1>our bus? You know it's and dip this pizza from

0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Chicago on the bus. So it was kind of neat

0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:56.960
<v Speaker 1>because it took me back to my roots as a

0:19:57.040 --> 0:19:59.879
<v Speaker 1>Division two head coach bus rides. You know, it's like

0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:02.960
<v Speaker 1>a Triple A baseball. We took the bus back from

0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Chicago to South Bend and got a chance to be

0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:09.440
<v Speaker 1>on the bus with the guys, So it was real.

0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:12.119
<v Speaker 1>It felt great to be able to celebrate it on

0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:14.720
<v Speaker 1>a bus ride back to South Bend with with your

0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:19.440
<v Speaker 1>teammates and your coaches. Did how many times have you

0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:25.240
<v Speaker 1>gone into a game not thinking you could win that game? Who?

0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Not many? H You know, I've coached, you know, well

0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:34.159
<v Speaker 1>over three hundred games, and I can't remember many that

0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:36.639
<v Speaker 1>I've gone in and said we have no chance of

0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:40.800
<v Speaker 1>winning this game. Um, maybe I could probably come on

0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:46.280
<v Speaker 1>my hand where I felt like it was that overwhelming

0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:50.919
<v Speaker 1>odds against our football team, and and now, truth be told,

0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:55.000
<v Speaker 1>there were probably way more many games than that. It's

0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:57.439
<v Speaker 1>just I'm just not wired that way. I just go

0:20:57.600 --> 0:20:59.760
<v Speaker 1>in thinking that we're going to find a way to win.

0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:03.200
<v Speaker 1>But at Notre Dame, have you felt like that if

0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:05.320
<v Speaker 1>it was a playoff game, did you think, oh my god,

0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't I don't like her. Even though you want

0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:09.960
<v Speaker 1>to win, you you coach to win, But is there

0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:12.159
<v Speaker 1>in back of your mind you're like, I hope this

0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:18.320
<v Speaker 1>doesn't get out of hand. Um. Maybe in two thousand

0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:22.960
<v Speaker 1>and twelve the Alabama Notre Dame National championship game, I

0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:25.960
<v Speaker 1>knew we were in a you know, an uphill climb there.

0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:30.400
<v Speaker 1>We were only three years and into rebuilding the program here,

0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:33.880
<v Speaker 1>and you know we got there quickly, uh with with

0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:38.359
<v Speaker 1>playing for a championship, and you know that Alabama team

0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:42.840
<v Speaker 1>was obviously one of the best in a long long time.

0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:45.040
<v Speaker 1>That a lot of things would have had to gone

0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:47.440
<v Speaker 1>right there. So that was probably the one time when

0:21:47.480 --> 0:21:49.760
<v Speaker 1>I was at Notre Dame where I felt like, this

0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:52.240
<v Speaker 1>is going to be an uphill climb. And it's almost

0:21:52.280 --> 0:21:54.720
<v Speaker 1>like you guys were ahead of schedule and you got

0:21:54.720 --> 0:21:58.920
<v Speaker 1>to that national title game because you know, people talk about, Okay,

0:21:58.960 --> 0:22:02.000
<v Speaker 1>can Notre Dame you know have the speed? You know,

0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:05.080
<v Speaker 1>can they can they match the offensive and defensive lines

0:22:05.080 --> 0:22:08.000
<v Speaker 1>of SEC teams? And how do you how do you

0:22:08.000 --> 0:22:12.400
<v Speaker 1>go out and try to establish that at Notre Dame. Well,

0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:15.480
<v Speaker 1>we still have to recruit to our profile and so

0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:21.720
<v Speaker 1>it's player development. Uh, it's it's the ability to recruit

0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:24.640
<v Speaker 1>to Notre Dame at a higher level than we had

0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:27.959
<v Speaker 1>been recruiting up to that point, and then developing your

0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:30.639
<v Speaker 1>players over a long period of time. And you know,

0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:33.520
<v Speaker 1>the last two drafts, we've had ten players drafted that's

0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:36.960
<v Speaker 1>as high as Alabama and Ohio State, and that's where

0:22:37.000 --> 0:22:39.240
<v Speaker 1>we need to be to have the kind of players

0:22:39.320 --> 0:22:44.480
<v Speaker 1>necessary to compete at that stage. So it wasn't three

0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:46.880
<v Speaker 1>years into it that we were having that kind of

0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:50.600
<v Speaker 1>depth in drafts, and so we knew that we were

0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:54.120
<v Speaker 1>there early, like you said, and it just requires more

0:22:54.200 --> 0:22:57.160
<v Speaker 1>time in recruiting. Uh. And you've got to win, right,

0:22:57.240 --> 0:23:01.359
<v Speaker 1>We couldn't just celebrate our past success. We had the

0:23:01.480 --> 0:23:05.679
<v Speaker 1>wins and that attracts obviously the kids to come to

0:23:05.760 --> 0:23:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame as well. How long do you plan on coaching.

0:23:10.680 --> 0:23:13.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, I've never said this is the day that

0:23:13.400 --> 0:23:17.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to stop coaching, because I love the relationships.

0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:21.200
<v Speaker 1>I love eighteen to twenty one year old players that

0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:26.400
<v Speaker 1>are growing every day, making mistakes, learning from them. That's

0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:29.200
<v Speaker 1>what that's what's exciting. Everybody was asking me about the

0:23:29.240 --> 0:23:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Wisconsin win and breaking Rocketes record, and I totally understand

0:23:33.880 --> 0:23:37.040
<v Speaker 1>that because it's such a milestone, but I was I

0:23:37.119 --> 0:23:40.320
<v Speaker 1>was so excited about some of our younger players and

0:23:40.840 --> 0:23:43.800
<v Speaker 1>how they grew in that game. And that's the honest truth.

0:23:43.960 --> 0:23:47.680
<v Speaker 1>So that's what keeps me going. And if I'm if

0:23:47.720 --> 0:23:51.119
<v Speaker 1>they're still listening to me, Dan and I'm still excited,

0:23:52.960 --> 0:23:55.560
<v Speaker 1>I'll keep coaching for as long as they keep listening.

0:23:56.119 --> 0:23:59.159
<v Speaker 1>How do you keep up with younger kids like eighteen

0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:00.720
<v Speaker 1>year old? How do you really late to an eighteen

0:24:00.760 --> 0:24:04.680
<v Speaker 1>year old? I think you have to stay close to them,

0:24:05.520 --> 0:24:07.800
<v Speaker 1>and you can't be locked up in meeting rooms. You've

0:24:07.840 --> 0:24:10.120
<v Speaker 1>got to be in the training room with them. You've

0:24:10.160 --> 0:24:12.480
<v Speaker 1>got to be in the player's lounge in the locker room.

0:24:12.560 --> 0:24:15.239
<v Speaker 1>But you're not going to TikTok dances or anything like that,

0:24:15.280 --> 0:24:17.399
<v Speaker 1>are you? No? I don't think you have to, but

0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:21.720
<v Speaker 1>you better know TikTok, and you better know current trends

0:24:21.880 --> 0:24:26.440
<v Speaker 1>and uh, you know, I've got some college age kids myself,

0:24:26.560 --> 0:24:29.320
<v Speaker 1>and I said this the other day in a press conference.

0:24:29.359 --> 0:24:32.960
<v Speaker 1>When when I hear, you know, some urban slang, I'll

0:24:33.000 --> 0:24:36.959
<v Speaker 1>immediately text my college age kids and ask them what

0:24:37.000 --> 0:24:40.160
<v Speaker 1>that means, just so I could stay current on what's

0:24:40.200 --> 0:24:43.720
<v Speaker 1>going on. What coach did you take the most from them?

0:24:43.800 --> 0:24:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Try to emulate? You know, Dan, I've been asked this

0:24:51.160 --> 0:24:55.040
<v Speaker 1>question a lot. I don't know that I emulated anybody

0:24:55.040 --> 0:24:58.720
<v Speaker 1>as much as you know. There were so many mentors

0:24:58.760 --> 0:25:00.520
<v Speaker 1>in my life grown up, because I was a head

0:25:00.520 --> 0:25:03.560
<v Speaker 1>coach at twenty eight years old, and I was so

0:25:03.640 --> 0:25:07.120
<v Speaker 1>focused on trying to figure out, you know, who I

0:25:07.359 --> 0:25:11.359
<v Speaker 1>was and what I was doing, that I just I

0:25:11.400 --> 0:25:15.879
<v Speaker 1>would listen to anybody, anybody that I respected, whether you

0:25:15.920 --> 0:25:21.280
<v Speaker 1>were coach or not, a parent, somebody in our office,

0:25:22.080 --> 0:25:25.639
<v Speaker 1>anybody that I had respect for. I was listening to

0:25:25.680 --> 0:25:29.480
<v Speaker 1>them and trying to build my own identity and philosophy

0:25:29.560 --> 0:25:33.600
<v Speaker 1>as a young coach. How important was it to schedule

0:25:33.640 --> 0:25:38.200
<v Speaker 1>a game with Cincinnati? Well, I don't know that there

0:25:38.240 --> 0:25:41.800
<v Speaker 1>was an importance. I've I felt like you know, when

0:25:41.800 --> 0:25:45.280
<v Speaker 1>we were talking about scheduling future opponents, I'm like, why

0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:48.359
<v Speaker 1>don't we get Central Michigan where I coached and we

0:25:48.440 --> 0:25:52.320
<v Speaker 1>won a championship, and let's get Cincinnati and and get

0:25:52.359 --> 0:25:57.000
<v Speaker 1>them on the schedule as well, just because I just

0:25:57.040 --> 0:26:00.240
<v Speaker 1>felt like a sense of, you know, thank you for

0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:04.560
<v Speaker 1>the opportunity to that that I got to coach there. Um,

0:26:04.600 --> 0:26:08.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm not as excited about that decision in playing since

0:26:08.280 --> 0:26:12.880
<v Speaker 1>it adding now you know, it's a great program and

0:26:13.160 --> 0:26:16.159
<v Speaker 1>Luke's done a great job there and uh, you know

0:26:16.240 --> 0:26:18.760
<v Speaker 1>it's it turns out now it's gonna be a great matchup.

0:26:19.520 --> 0:26:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Were you Patriot fan growing up? I am, yeah, and

0:26:23.680 --> 0:26:29.720
<v Speaker 1>I still am. Uh do you have any conversations with Belichick?

0:26:30.480 --> 0:26:33.879
<v Speaker 1>I do, Yeah, I will stay close. Yeah, we've stayed

0:26:33.880 --> 0:26:37.920
<v Speaker 1>close over the years. How often do you talk to him?

0:26:37.920 --> 0:26:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Probably every every couple of months. And you're talking, You're

0:26:44.400 --> 0:26:47.119
<v Speaker 1>you're acting like Belichick. Now you're not answering. You know,

0:26:47.119 --> 0:26:51.000
<v Speaker 1>it's a long winded question here, Brian like, well, we'll

0:26:51.040 --> 0:26:53.879
<v Speaker 1>talk about games, you know, Uh, you know, he'll text

0:26:53.920 --> 0:26:56.640
<v Speaker 1>me about how we've played, and I'll I'll text him

0:26:56.680 --> 0:27:01.159
<v Speaker 1>back and and you know, it's it's for all related stuff,

0:27:01.280 --> 0:27:06.560
<v Speaker 1>certainly about how we're doing. And we work a lot

0:27:06.640 --> 0:27:09.480
<v Speaker 1>together with our foundations as well, and that's really what's

0:27:09.520 --> 0:27:14.200
<v Speaker 1>gotten us close. Um My wife and his fiance are

0:27:14.280 --> 0:27:17.200
<v Speaker 1>really close in terms of working their foundations together. So

0:27:18.040 --> 0:27:22.520
<v Speaker 1>that's how that relationship formed and we've stayed in contact

0:27:22.560 --> 0:27:26.040
<v Speaker 1>because of that. But when Notre Dame plays Navy, is

0:27:26.080 --> 0:27:31.359
<v Speaker 1>he rooting for Navy. He's got a deep relationship with Navy.

0:27:31.520 --> 0:27:33.840
<v Speaker 1>There's no doubt there. You know, it goes back with

0:27:33.880 --> 0:27:37.360
<v Speaker 1>his dad and where he was from. And I think

0:27:37.400 --> 0:27:40.600
<v Speaker 1>he stays out of the rooting business. He's much more

0:27:40.680 --> 0:27:46.960
<v Speaker 1>into how games are played tactically, and you know, and

0:27:47.040 --> 0:27:49.880
<v Speaker 1>I think you guys see that from your perspective too.

0:27:49.920 --> 0:27:52.960
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't get too emotional about who he's pulling for

0:27:53.080 --> 0:27:55.879
<v Speaker 1>as much as how the game's played. I think he

0:27:56.000 --> 0:27:58.119
<v Speaker 1>ends up at Navy when he's done with the NFL

0:27:58.200 --> 0:28:04.720
<v Speaker 1>for some reason. I hope because we play. That would

0:28:04.760 --> 0:28:07.560
<v Speaker 1>not be that would be one reason for us not

0:28:07.680 --> 0:28:10.560
<v Speaker 1>to play. And all of a sudden, Notre Dame is

0:28:10.600 --> 0:28:14.320
<v Speaker 1>taking Navy off its schedule, no doubt. And you're going

0:28:14.320 --> 0:28:18.040
<v Speaker 1>to Vegas next year. We are. We're really excited about that,

0:28:18.320 --> 0:28:22.080
<v Speaker 1>and I know, you know our Shamrocks series, which travels

0:28:22.119 --> 0:28:24.920
<v Speaker 1>around the country and plays in you know, great venues,

0:28:25.000 --> 0:28:28.840
<v Speaker 1>this venue, Allegiate Stadium, and playing in Vegas. You know,

0:28:28.880 --> 0:28:31.359
<v Speaker 1>we're playing BYU It's it's it's going to be a

0:28:31.440 --> 0:28:34.960
<v Speaker 1>great environment. We're really looking forward to it. Great to

0:28:35.000 --> 0:28:38.520
<v Speaker 1>talk to you, and good luck against Cincinnati. And congratulations,

0:28:39.560 --> 0:28:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Thanks Dan, thanks for having me on. That's Brian Kelly,

0:28:41.880 --> 0:28:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame head coach, the winning is coach in Notre

0:28:44.880 --> 0:28:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Dame history. All of a sudden, I asked about Belichick

0:28:48.400 --> 0:28:52.120
<v Speaker 1>and he started answering questions like Belichick, like, come on, coach,

0:28:52.400 --> 0:28:56.000
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to answer questions like him. I'm just

0:28:56.120 --> 0:29:00.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna say, we're onto Cincinnati here, I'm looking forward to

0:29:00.520 --> 0:29:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Thursday night game on the NFL NFL network. What's what

0:29:04.480 --> 0:29:07.520
<v Speaker 1>game is that this week? Oh? Come on, Paul being

0:29:07.600 --> 0:29:13.480
<v Speaker 1>foe the Bengals and the Jags. Come on, I am.

0:29:13.560 --> 0:29:17.120
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't excited about Carolina. I have to admit I

0:29:17.240 --> 0:29:20.520
<v Speaker 1>was not. You know, hey, let's tune in to watch

0:29:20.520 --> 0:29:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Sam Darnold. Okay, then Christie McCaffrey gets hurt and I go,

0:29:25.800 --> 0:29:31.360
<v Speaker 1>not that much to see here? Cincinnati Joe Burrow, Jamar

0:29:31.560 --> 0:29:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Chase Bengals are two and one Jags? Do they get

0:29:35.840 --> 0:29:39.959
<v Speaker 1>a win? Trevor Lawrence, Joe Burrow, Urban Meyer recruited Joe Burrow,

0:29:40.120 --> 0:29:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Joe Burrow leaves wins the Heisman National Title Game? How

0:29:44.520 --> 0:29:47.640
<v Speaker 1>am I doing? Am I selling it? Yeah? Seven and

0:29:47.680 --> 0:29:49.280
<v Speaker 1>a half? Your Bengals are given seven and a half

0:29:49.280 --> 0:29:53.800
<v Speaker 1>of the Jag Yeah, yes, MC. Do the Carolina Panthers,

0:29:53.800 --> 0:29:56.480
<v Speaker 1>by the way, have a bit of an AFC south field,

0:29:56.560 --> 0:29:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Yes they do. They have that color scheme, guys, they do. Yeah.

0:29:59.440 --> 0:30:02.440
<v Speaker 1>By the way, this weekend a game everyone's excited for

0:30:02.600 --> 0:30:07.040
<v Speaker 1>New England and Tampa Bay. How about Indianapolis Colts at

0:30:07.040 --> 0:30:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Miami Dolphins. That's basically an inner squad scrimmage. I mean,

0:30:11.920 --> 0:30:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm serious, Like that might as well be a preseason

0:30:14.000 --> 0:30:15.800
<v Speaker 1>practice where they get together. I think I could top it.

0:30:15.840 --> 0:30:18.120
<v Speaker 1>How about the Washington football team at the Atlanta Falcons

0:30:18.520 --> 0:30:21.120
<v Speaker 1>That is also that's a similar feel, But I mean

0:30:21.120 --> 0:30:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Indianapolis Miami, they had the same players. They just go

0:30:23.320 --> 0:30:25.680
<v Speaker 1>back and forth. Jacobe Prictt, which seems to quarterback and

0:30:25.800 --> 0:30:30.520
<v Speaker 1>who cares, I don't know it's true. How about Titans Jeff,

0:30:32.520 --> 0:30:35.440
<v Speaker 1>don't you feel like Jaguars Bengals is right in that mix? No?

0:30:35.440 --> 0:30:37.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean if if Jaguars Bengals was a one o'clock

0:30:37.880 --> 0:30:40.320
<v Speaker 1>game this weekend, you probably wouldn't watch. Oh yeah, I

0:30:40.360 --> 0:30:42.720
<v Speaker 1>have to. That game should be noon on the Big

0:30:42.720 --> 0:30:45.400
<v Speaker 1>ten networks. Yea, they should have that on Saturday at noon.

0:30:46.560 --> 0:30:49.040
<v Speaker 1>When I remember Washington played the Giants on Thursday night

0:30:49.040 --> 0:30:50.560
<v Speaker 1>the other day, I was thinking myself, if this is

0:30:50.600 --> 0:30:52.920
<v Speaker 1>one o'clock on Sunday, how many people are going to

0:30:53.280 --> 0:30:56.240
<v Speaker 1>tune into that? National? I know, Tampa, New England is

0:30:56.280 --> 0:30:59.720
<v Speaker 1>obviously the big one. Arizona at the Rams Rams? Is

0:30:59.760 --> 0:31:01.560
<v Speaker 1>there a little bit of a letdown after the win

0:31:01.600 --> 0:31:04.880
<v Speaker 1>against Tampa Bay Cardinals three and o Rams three and oz.

0:31:05.840 --> 0:31:18.680
<v Speaker 1>How about Carolina at Dallas? Carolina's defense Panthers undefeated, Um,

0:31:18.800 --> 0:31:22.360
<v Speaker 1>they're they're not allowing many points, ten points a game.

0:31:23.160 --> 0:31:27.239
<v Speaker 1>Pittsburgh at green Bay, the last stand for Ben all right,

0:31:28.200 --> 0:31:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Colts Miami all right? Maybe not just some of the

0:31:31.760 --> 0:31:35.360
<v Speaker 1>other games are yeah points, Lions up, Bears, Bears, everybody.

0:31:35.880 --> 0:31:39.120
<v Speaker 1>That's what I'm saying. It's that bad. You know, I

0:31:39.240 --> 0:31:41.479
<v Speaker 1>think we care because we want to see if Justin

0:31:41.600 --> 0:31:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Fields is going to play. I guess he's got a

0:31:44.240 --> 0:31:48.120
<v Speaker 1>hand injury. But I thought the lines were going to

0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:50.440
<v Speaker 1>beat the Ravens last week. I don't know if this

0:31:50.600 --> 0:31:53.680
<v Speaker 1>is one of those that they just demoralized and maybe

0:31:54.280 --> 0:31:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Justin Fields looks good. Is he gonna play or is

0:31:56.640 --> 0:32:01.640
<v Speaker 1>it gonna be Nick Foles in there? Maybe use all

0:32:01.680 --> 0:32:04.960
<v Speaker 1>three at the same time. Have three quarterbacks on the

0:32:04.960 --> 0:32:07.480
<v Speaker 1>field at the same time. Yeah, I'm pretty excited for

0:32:07.600 --> 0:32:10.640
<v Speaker 1>my Eagles. They only have twenty seven players injured and

0:32:10.680 --> 0:32:13.160
<v Speaker 1>they're going out against a very angry Chiefs team this

0:32:13.200 --> 0:32:16.440
<v Speaker 1>week on a short week. That's great, you know, after

0:32:16.480 --> 0:32:19.200
<v Speaker 1>the Phillies lose. This is great stuff for Philly Cardinals.

0:32:19.320 --> 0:32:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Rams I think is sneaky good. I think gets sneaky good.

0:32:23.560 --> 0:32:27.000

0:33:42.400 --> 0:33:45.120

0:33:45.160 --> 0:33:48.320
<v Speaker 1>you can't return. Yeah, yeah, that that doesn't that's not included. Yeah.

0:33:48.360 --> 0:33:51.840
<v Speaker 1>If you don't like Todd's limericks, then I can't guarantee

0:33:51.920 --> 0:33:56.040
<v Speaker 1>I can't guarantee entertainment with Todd's limericks. Yes, time, but

0:33:56.040 --> 0:33:57.560
<v Speaker 1>it still works. I say, if you're lazy, you don't

0:33:57.560 --> 0:33:59.240
<v Speaker 1>want to bother going to a card store and thing

0:33:59.320 --> 0:34:01.640
<v Speaker 1>with that. At the very least, it's all right there

0:34:01.640 --> 0:34:03.160
<v Speaker 1>for you to stend out, whether you actually like them

0:34:03.240 --> 0:34:06.040
<v Speaker 1>or not. Yeah, it's a bundle of limericks. That means

0:34:06.160 --> 0:34:08.480
<v Speaker 1>if you want to send out a card for somebody's birthday,

0:34:08.600 --> 0:34:12.880
<v Speaker 1>his or hers, Hanakkah, Christmas, New Year, or win or lose,

0:34:12.920 --> 0:34:16.239
<v Speaker 1>we celebrate the bundle of limericks. You don't have to

0:34:16.239 --> 0:34:18.480
<v Speaker 1>buy greeting cards the rest of the year. They're right there,

0:34:18.560 --> 0:34:20.719
<v Speaker 1>Dan Patrick dot com. Yes, point. And have you ever

0:34:20.760 --> 0:34:23.560
<v Speaker 1>not gotten your wife a card on our birthday or anniversary?

0:34:23.719 --> 0:34:25.640
<v Speaker 1>And the fallout from that? Yeah, you could have a

0:34:25.640 --> 0:34:28.200
<v Speaker 1>present no card? Yeah, the fall outs big yeah, Yeah,

0:34:28.200 --> 0:34:30.200
<v Speaker 1>seton And I like that Todd is taking it upon

0:34:30.280 --> 0:34:34.279
<v Speaker 1>himself to turn Thanksgiving into a card related holiday. Most

0:34:34.280 --> 0:34:37.400
<v Speaker 1>people don't give cards for Thanksgiving. It's not a very

0:34:37.400 --> 0:34:39.880
<v Speaker 1>pivate Todd. No getting right in there. Time has come.

0:34:40.000 --> 0:34:42.399
<v Speaker 1>If there's if there's a Peanuts gang, you know TV

0:34:42.440 --> 0:34:44.520
<v Speaker 1>show about it, then it deserves I think some kind

0:34:44.560 --> 0:34:48.000
<v Speaker 1>of a good part of card. Thank you, Ton Paully

0:34:48.120 --> 0:34:50.200
<v Speaker 1>today this morning. You know there are times when we

0:34:50.200 --> 0:34:52.719
<v Speaker 1>have topics where you go, wow, I didn't think we

0:34:52.800 --> 0:34:56.719
<v Speaker 1>would be getting upset about that, Polly goes. I got

0:34:56.719 --> 0:35:00.920
<v Speaker 1>a take on the Bachelor, got a new host. So wait,

0:35:00.960 --> 0:35:03.560
<v Speaker 1>you got a problem with Jesse Palmer who was on

0:35:03.680 --> 0:35:08.120
<v Speaker 1>the Bachelor, and like, what's the what's the deal? So

0:35:08.239 --> 0:35:11.759
<v Speaker 1>Jesse Palmer was an NFL quarterback. He was contestant on

0:35:11.800 --> 0:35:14.600
<v Speaker 1>The Bachelor or whatever you call it. And it's fair

0:35:14.640 --> 0:35:16.880
<v Speaker 1>to say he's an extremely good looking guy. Is that

0:35:17.040 --> 0:35:20.279
<v Speaker 1>collective wisdom? I call him a handsome I would say

0:35:20.320 --> 0:35:24.279
<v Speaker 1>extremely handsome. Is that fair type? I just put it

0:35:24.360 --> 0:35:27.120
<v Speaker 1>that way. I think like starting quarterbacks on backup because

0:35:27.120 --> 0:35:28.640
<v Speaker 1>he's not really my type either, but he's a good

0:35:28.640 --> 0:35:31.759
<v Speaker 1>looking guy. Yeah, okay, yeah, extremely okay. I think it's

0:35:31.800 --> 0:35:33.719
<v Speaker 1>a great move for Jesse for his career. It's a

0:35:33.760 --> 0:35:35.640
<v Speaker 1>great franchise. He's gonna make a lot of though everyone's

0:35:35.640 --> 0:35:38.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna love him. This is terrible by the Bachelor franchise.

0:35:39.160 --> 0:35:41.560
<v Speaker 1>One of the things that's most important on the Bachelor

0:35:41.960 --> 0:35:44.400
<v Speaker 1>is that the host is not better looking than the Bachelor.

0:35:44.920 --> 0:35:47.400
<v Speaker 1>And the odds are now that the host, Jesse Palmer,

0:35:47.480 --> 0:35:50.080
<v Speaker 1>is better looking than the guy competing with all the women.

0:35:50.320 --> 0:35:52.319
<v Speaker 1>So when the thirty women are there getting sauced up

0:35:52.400 --> 0:35:55.120
<v Speaker 1>in the house in Los Angeles, they're gonna and at

0:35:55.120 --> 0:35:57.799
<v Speaker 1>the Rose ceremonies going on, they're looking right past Jimmy

0:35:57.880 --> 0:36:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Jimmerson and right towards the hunky Canadian Jesse Palmer. The

0:36:02.280 --> 0:36:05.640
<v Speaker 1>one great thing about Chris Harrison was he was average looking.

0:36:05.840 --> 0:36:08.680
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't bad looking, he wasn't great looking. He'll admit

0:36:08.760 --> 0:36:11.160
<v Speaker 1>that he's a nice looking guy. He's clean cut yet

0:36:11.280 --> 0:36:14.560
<v Speaker 1>good hair. But he wasn't threatening to the bachelor. That

0:36:14.680 --> 0:36:18.160
<v Speaker 1>is a terrible move. Great for Jesse Palmer, bad for

0:36:18.200 --> 0:36:22.040
<v Speaker 1>the concept. It would be weird if they had a

0:36:22.040 --> 0:36:25.560
<v Speaker 1>bachelorette episode and then she walked over and gave Jesse

0:36:25.680 --> 0:36:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Palmer arose like that happened. That that would be a

0:36:28.120 --> 0:36:34.440
<v Speaker 1>little bit weird. But is Jesse married? Oh no, he'd

0:36:34.480 --> 0:36:38.960
<v Speaker 1>better be. I met his girlfriend in New York. He's

0:36:39.000 --> 0:36:42.239
<v Speaker 1>about to have thirty new ones. Yea, at least I

0:36:42.320 --> 0:36:47.400
<v Speaker 1>went to dinner with him one night in Santa Monica.

0:36:48.040 --> 0:36:51.719
<v Speaker 1>You just you had women walking by just wanting to

0:36:51.760 --> 0:36:55.239
<v Speaker 1>get noticed by Jesse Palmer. I'm going, dude, what is

0:36:55.280 --> 0:36:58.240
<v Speaker 1>going on? He goes, yeah, I know. I'm like, oh God,

0:36:59.040 --> 0:37:02.760
<v Speaker 1>a woman dropped off her phone number at our table.

0:37:03.000 --> 0:37:05.279
<v Speaker 1>We're just sitting there talking and I don't know what

0:37:05.320 --> 0:37:07.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about, and all of a sudden, this woman goes,

0:37:07.800 --> 0:37:10.920
<v Speaker 1>I really loved you on the Bachelor game phone number.

0:37:11.000 --> 0:37:17.080
<v Speaker 1>I go really, He goes, yeah, yeah, he's a real ceremonies.

0:37:17.080 --> 0:37:19.839
<v Speaker 1>The girl's gonna walk the wrong direction. I know now

0:37:19.840 --> 0:37:22.120
<v Speaker 1>this is this is a long time ago that I

0:37:22.200 --> 0:37:25.520
<v Speaker 1>was with Jesse and we were in Santa Monica. Not

0:37:25.680 --> 0:37:29.600
<v Speaker 1>nothing recent. Yes, yes, I see him as engaged to

0:37:30.200 --> 0:37:32.439
<v Speaker 1>Emily Fardo, which you're not gonna believe what she does

0:37:32.640 --> 0:37:39.080
<v Speaker 1>for a living. She's a model. Yes, she certainly looked

0:37:39.080 --> 0:37:41.399
<v Speaker 1>like a model when I met her in New York. Yes,

0:37:41.640 --> 0:37:46.040
<v Speaker 1>a very very nice woman. But okay, yes, and uh,

0:37:46.440 --> 0:37:52.720
<v Speaker 1>I wish Jesse nothing but success there only he's gonna

0:37:52.719 --> 0:37:58.200
<v Speaker 1>have access on there. Uh let me see. Oh, I

0:37:58.280 --> 0:38:02.520
<v Speaker 1>was gonna bring this up with the Lakers had their

0:38:03.360 --> 0:38:06.360
<v Speaker 1>media day, and age, of course, was a big topic

0:38:06.400 --> 0:38:08.160
<v Speaker 1>that came up. I'll talk about this coming up at

0:38:08.160 --> 0:38:11.279
<v Speaker 1>the top of the arm we'll hear from Russell Westbrook,

0:38:11.320 --> 0:38:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Davis. They talk about and this is going to

0:38:14.080 --> 0:38:17.359
<v Speaker 1>be an issue, and rightfully so. Lebron said that he

0:38:17.400 --> 0:38:21.000
<v Speaker 1>got vaccinated, wasn't sure if he was going to get vaccinated,

0:38:22.200 --> 0:38:24.640
<v Speaker 1>but got vaccinated. But he's not going to be a

0:38:24.640 --> 0:38:29.640
<v Speaker 1>spokesperson for other players getting vaccinated. And I think it's

0:38:29.680 --> 0:38:32.760
<v Speaker 1>tricky because, you know, Lebron has to have an opinion

0:38:32.760 --> 0:38:35.640
<v Speaker 1>on everything. It feels like like now we expect him

0:38:35.680 --> 0:38:39.040
<v Speaker 1>to have one, and for you know, most causes, he

0:38:39.080 --> 0:38:42.680
<v Speaker 1>will give an opinion. This one, he's sort of staying

0:38:42.719 --> 0:38:45.880
<v Speaker 1>in the shadows because here's Kyrie, who's got a powerful

0:38:46.000 --> 0:38:50.480
<v Speaker 1>position with the Players Association, and Kyrie is not all

0:38:50.520 --> 0:38:53.279
<v Speaker 1>in on getting vaccinated, although there are reports that some

0:38:53.320 --> 0:38:55.839
<v Speaker 1>of his teammates are trying to get him to get

0:38:55.880 --> 0:39:00.040
<v Speaker 1>vaccinated so he can play home games this year. And

0:39:00.120 --> 0:39:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Lebron said, hey, look, I want to win championships. What's

0:39:03.120 --> 0:39:06.919
<v Speaker 1>the best way to get a championship? Everybody stays healthy.

0:39:07.000 --> 0:39:10.200
<v Speaker 1>That's why I got vaccinated. Yeah, Paul, first time Kyrie's

0:39:10.200 --> 0:39:16.800
<v Speaker 1>ever passed up a shot. Wow, Wow, that's pretty good,

0:39:16.800 --> 0:39:22.400
<v Speaker 1>pretty good, pretty good. I like that. And then you

0:39:22.480 --> 0:39:25.640
<v Speaker 1>got Wiggins with Golden State, you still have the drama.

0:39:25.680 --> 0:39:29.280
<v Speaker 1>I had a former coach, we got into the Ben

0:39:29.320 --> 0:39:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Simmons discussion. We were gonna have Ray Allen on today.

0:39:32.040 --> 0:39:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Couldn't do it. He's going to join us tomorrow. I

0:39:33.719 --> 0:39:36.040
<v Speaker 1>want to know if he could help Ben Simmons with

0:39:36.080 --> 0:39:38.479
<v Speaker 1>his shot, how would he help Ben Simmons with his shot?

0:39:38.920 --> 0:39:42.040
<v Speaker 1>And I was talking to this former NBA coach, assistant coach,

0:39:42.080 --> 0:39:47.080
<v Speaker 1>and I said, so where's Ben end up? And he goes, well,

0:39:47.920 --> 0:39:50.840
<v Speaker 1>he once the offense built around him. That's not going

0:39:50.880 --> 0:39:54.319
<v Speaker 1>to happen in Portland. That won't happen in Sacramento. That

0:39:54.360 --> 0:39:57.680
<v Speaker 1>won't happen in Washington. And I said, well, where can

0:39:57.680 --> 0:40:02.880
<v Speaker 1>it happen? He goes, maybe Houston, But you know Houston,

0:40:03.320 --> 0:40:06.440
<v Speaker 1>it's got a rookie who is good. You know it's

0:40:06.440 --> 0:40:09.759
<v Speaker 1>going to be built around him more so than it

0:40:09.800 --> 0:40:13.799
<v Speaker 1>would be Ben Simmons. I was told, you keep talking

0:40:13.840 --> 0:40:16.319
<v Speaker 1>about Golden State on your show. He goes, I don't

0:40:16.360 --> 0:40:20.160
<v Speaker 1>see that happening because Ben does. Ben wants the offense surrounding.

0:40:20.440 --> 0:40:23.600
<v Speaker 1>He wants to be the offense. And you know he

0:40:23.680 --> 0:40:27.240
<v Speaker 1>doesn't like playing with Joe LMB because it all funnels

0:40:27.239 --> 0:40:30.440
<v Speaker 1>into Joe LMB. Ben wants to get on the break,

0:40:30.840 --> 0:40:34.920
<v Speaker 1>he wants to take it down the lane, and you

0:40:34.960 --> 0:40:36.799
<v Speaker 1>know that's really important to him. And I said, well

0:40:36.800 --> 0:40:39.000
<v Speaker 1>where does he end up? And he goes. I think

0:40:39.000 --> 0:40:41.880
<v Speaker 1>he would make Bradley Beale a better player, but Bradley

0:40:41.880 --> 0:40:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Beale is going to be the main guy. And I said, well,

0:40:45.800 --> 0:40:48.320
<v Speaker 1>he's not going to be traded for Damian Lillard. Portland

0:40:48.320 --> 0:40:51.399
<v Speaker 1>has terrible defense, so does Sacramento. He could help both

0:40:51.440 --> 0:40:53.640
<v Speaker 1>of those teams. I just don't know. Are you given

0:40:53.760 --> 0:40:58.560
<v Speaker 1>up Daron Fox? And if you are, do you want

0:40:58.640 --> 0:41:01.440
<v Speaker 1>him in Philadelphia? Like you're trying to make this fit.

0:41:01.800 --> 0:41:04.319
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's the difficult part here. If this

0:41:04.400 --> 0:41:07.440
<v Speaker 1>is a power play by Ben Simmons. But this happens

0:41:07.480 --> 0:41:09.960
<v Speaker 1>every year in the NBA, somebody will go, I'm not

0:41:10.000 --> 0:41:11.600
<v Speaker 1>going to play for you. I don't want to go there.

0:41:12.560 --> 0:41:14.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if Ben Simmons can find the right

0:41:14.760 --> 0:41:16.759
<v Speaker 1>place for him. I think he can find a team,

0:41:16.840 --> 0:41:18.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's going to be the place

0:41:18.200 --> 0:41:20.400
<v Speaker 1>where he goes. Now I can go out there and

0:41:20.440 --> 0:41:23.080
<v Speaker 1>get thirty points a game. Now I can be the

0:41:23.120 --> 0:41:25.840
<v Speaker 1>guy who dominates a game. I think it is mind

0:41:26.719 --> 0:41:29.040
<v Speaker 1>from what I'm told, that's that's what he wants to do.

0:41:29.120 --> 0:41:31.600
<v Speaker 1>That's who he thinks he is in the NBA. Yeah,

0:41:31.920 --> 0:41:33.520
<v Speaker 1>based off what you're reading and hearing, do you think

0:41:33.560 --> 0:41:36.520
<v Speaker 1>he wants to play a pure point guard position. I

0:41:36.520 --> 0:41:38.880
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's called a point it wouldn't be. I

0:41:39.200 --> 0:41:42.399
<v Speaker 1>think it's a hybrid but outside to inside, outside first

0:41:42.400 --> 0:41:45.240
<v Speaker 1>to inside, more like a Magic Johnson in his heyday,

0:41:45.520 --> 0:41:49.680
<v Speaker 1>outside first, inside second, great postability. No, I think he

0:41:49.760 --> 0:41:53.160
<v Speaker 1>wants to. I think he wants to have the ability

0:41:53.200 --> 0:41:57.640
<v Speaker 1>to get ahead of steam, to beat you to the hoops. A.

0:41:58.000 --> 0:42:01.359
<v Speaker 1>He's not a shooter, obviously, but he loves that in transition,

0:42:01.440 --> 0:42:05.759
<v Speaker 1>he's wonderful. But you know, I this assistant coach, former

0:42:05.760 --> 0:42:07.920
<v Speaker 1>assistant coach said, you know, even in a half court

0:42:08.239 --> 0:42:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Ben can break you down off the dribble, like he

0:42:11.280 --> 0:42:15.799
<v Speaker 1>really can be a matchup nightmare. It's just you know,

0:42:16.800 --> 0:42:19.040
<v Speaker 1>and he knows he doesn't want to go to the

0:42:19.080 --> 0:42:22.080
<v Speaker 1>free throw line and he's not going to take that jumper. Yeah. McLevin,

0:42:22.360 --> 0:42:25.000
<v Speaker 1>he's had four years of averaging fifteen points a game

0:42:25.000 --> 0:42:27.120
<v Speaker 1>and now he's a thirty point in game. Square Well,

0:42:27.280 --> 0:42:30.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm throwing thirty points. I think I think he thinks

0:42:30.400 --> 0:42:33.120
<v Speaker 1>he's a twenty five point a night guy. I think

0:42:33.160 --> 0:42:35.719
<v Speaker 1>he thinks he's a twenty five eight and eight on

0:42:35.840 --> 0:42:39.239
<v Speaker 1>an eighteen win team. Maybe well, I'm just saying that

0:42:39.400 --> 0:42:42.560
<v Speaker 1>he's still twenty five eight and eight. What about the

0:42:42.680 --> 0:42:45.799
<v Speaker 1>King's like he doesn't have a no trade clause? Why

0:42:46.040 --> 0:42:47.879
<v Speaker 1>they don't From what I'm told, they don't want to

0:42:47.920 --> 0:42:53.680
<v Speaker 1>trade Tyrese Haliburt. Oh okay, So yeah, And if I'm Philly,

0:42:53.719 --> 0:42:56.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, do I want Daron Fox? Does he help you?

0:42:56.840 --> 0:42:59.279
<v Speaker 1>What about like a Buddy Healed? Is he still there?

0:42:59.520 --> 0:43:02.160
<v Speaker 1>He's still there? He's like I feel like every team

0:43:02.200 --> 0:43:06.440
<v Speaker 1>needs a Buddy Healed. Everybody needs a buddy I love

0:43:06.440 --> 0:43:09.359
<v Speaker 1>Buddy Healed. But yeah, Haliburton, I raar that buddy Healed

0:43:09.360 --> 0:43:13.560
<v Speaker 1>than Russell Westbrook. They find the Lakers, But I do

0:43:13.600 --> 0:43:15.799
<v Speaker 1>think Russ will help them during the regular seat. We'll

0:43:15.800 --> 0:43:17.920
<v Speaker 1>talk about this coming up, but I do think Russ

0:43:17.920 --> 0:43:20.399
<v Speaker 1>helps him during the regular season because he can take

0:43:20.440 --> 0:43:23.959
<v Speaker 1>a little wear and tear off Lebron. But in the postseason,

0:43:24.719 --> 0:43:27.400
<v Speaker 1>that's where I want to see. Is Russell Westbrook a winner?

0:43:27.440 --> 0:43:29.640
<v Speaker 1>I know he's a guy who has a great stat line.

0:43:29.960 --> 0:43:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Is he going to be that guy? You go? Russell

0:43:33.320 --> 0:43:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Westbrook Winner, More phone calls coming up. Final Hour on
