Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour on this Friday. It's a meat
Speaker 1: Friday at that And in case you live vicariously through
Speaker 1: us on Meat Friday, we have burgers and brotts chili
Speaker 1: chili left over from yesterday that I think Paulie's on
Speaker 1: his third helping of chili this morning. We also have
Speaker 1: broccoli and Brussels Brussels sprouts in there as well. Add
Speaker 1: some greens to it. You know, when you go to
Speaker 1: dinner with al Michaels, you can't have anything green, No vegetables,
Speaker 1: no parsley, no nothing on the plate. He just has
Speaker 1: a piece of meat there, just a steak. That's it,
Speaker 1: all right. Coming up, we'll talk to Brian Greasy from
Speaker 1: the mother Ship. You got Cardinals Rams on Monday Night.
Speaker 1: Football Saturday, Raiders, Bengals, Patriots, Bills. Yes, it will be
Speaker 1: very cold in Buffalo, Eagles of the Buccaneers. You're gonna
Speaker 1: have wind and rain, the Niners at the Cowboys and
Speaker 1: the Steelers at the Chiefs. Some entry comments yesterday by
Speaker 1: the GM of the Colts, Chris Ballard, very very difficult
Speaker 1: end of the season, and he was asked about trading
Speaker 1: for Carson Wentz if he had any regrets. So let
Speaker 1: me say this, when we made the decision after Philip
Speaker 1: retired and we made the decision to make a move
Speaker 1: on Carson, at the time of the decision, we felt
Speaker 1: good about it, and I still don't regret the decision
Speaker 1: at the time. I'm not gonna just sitting here today
Speaker 1: just so y'all know, I won't. I won't make a
Speaker 1: comment on who's going to be here next year and
Speaker 1: who's not going to be here next year. That's not fair,
Speaker 1: that's not fair to any player. I thought Carson did
Speaker 1: some good things, and there's a lot of things that
Speaker 1: he needs to do better. You know, our passing game
Speaker 1: has to be better. Okay, I love that Chris Ballard
Speaker 1: appears to be telling me the truth. This is a
Speaker 1: must lie situation because the Cleveland Browns cleaned up their mess,
Speaker 1: their spill in Aisle six, where all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: the coach and the quarterback are on the same page.
Speaker 1: Everything's good now. Now, that doesn't mean Cleveland won't have options,
Speaker 1: won't consider options at quarterback. But if you're the Colts,
Speaker 1: what other GM is going to say about his quarterback
Speaker 1: that he gave up some draft picks for that he's
Speaker 1: paying a lot of money to and he's not quite
Speaker 1: committed to that quarterback. You're a little bit locked in
Speaker 1: there financially with Carson Wentz. But I was surprised. I
Speaker 1: thought that, hey, we traded for Carson. We have confidence
Speaker 1: in Carson. You know, if you look at the stats,
Speaker 1: the numbers that he had this year, those are very reputable.
Speaker 1: But when you watch Carson Wentz, what I see doesn't
Speaker 1: match the numbers that he produces. Because if he throws
Speaker 1: for what twenty seven touchdown seven interceptions, you go, okay
Speaker 1: with that running game and that defense, all right, I'll
Speaker 1: take that. It just it feels like he's going to
Speaker 1: give the game away. And maybe it's not fair to
Speaker 1: Kirk d Cousins, but he has good numbers. But there's
Speaker 1: this feeling of is he going to get you over
Speaker 1: the hump? Is he going to win a game? Or
Speaker 1: could he lose a game? And that's that feeling that
Speaker 1: I get with Carson Wentz. By the way, Super wild
Speaker 1: Card Weekend Live on NBC. Two great matchups. The NBC
Speaker 1: and Peacock will bring you the Raiders in the Bengals
Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon and then Sunday night the Steelers clashing with
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. This in from Pro Football Talk. Brian Flores
Speaker 1: will interview with the Chicago Bears today. You'll probably get
Speaker 1: an opportunity to interview for a couple other openings, maybe
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. Yes, PAULI, let's say it was Bears
Speaker 1: Texans hypothetically for Brian Flores. Let's say those are the
Speaker 1: two first offers on the table, and they were the
Speaker 1: only offers on the table. Bears an. Yeah, it's just
Speaker 1: I don't like the ownership with the Texans. You know,
Speaker 1: David Colley was shown the door after one year. What
Speaker 1: are you building on there? I don't even know what
Speaker 1: I'm going to get for Deshaun Watson. And when I
Speaker 1: can get rid of Deshaun Watson, it feels like next
Speaker 1: year is going to be like this year. You're in limbo.
Speaker 1: But the Texans announced that they would fire their head coach,
Speaker 1: David Cully, and as Mike Florio pointed out, he got
Speaker 1: hired to be fired. You wanted a coach who could
Speaker 1: get you through this year. It's like a gap year. Hey,
Speaker 1: we just need to get through this year because there's
Speaker 1: a whole lot going on. You're trying to deal Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 1: You can't. Although I can look at David Culley and
Speaker 1: say you won four games. That's how many the Texans
Speaker 1: won with Deshaun Watson last year, and they played hard
Speaker 1: that game against the Titans at the end of the year.
Speaker 1: But the best player still has a lot of hurdles
Speaker 1: to pass to get on the field. Management is impatient,
Speaker 1: and are you going to be able to recruit a
Speaker 1: top tier coach. It's going to be very difficult there.
Speaker 1: You know, David Culley was not going to get another opportunity. Now,
Speaker 1: he's probably in his mid fifties. He had been a
Speaker 1: lifelong assistant coach, got an opportunity. Now I got paid,
Speaker 1: got paid to go away. But I felt bad for him,
Speaker 1: his chance to coach in the NFL, and you did
Speaker 1: it without a quarterback. Now, Davis Mills, I would give
Speaker 1: him another chance this next year. If you watch the Texans,
Speaker 1: Davis Mills has potential. That's not a good roster. And
Speaker 1: I thought Davis Mills at times looked really good. He
Speaker 1: looked like a starting quarterback. Now I don't know if
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the name recognition. You know, when you're
Speaker 1: a later draft pick, you're not a first round pick,
Speaker 1: it feels like they can move on from you easily.
Speaker 1: But I look at that team and I don't see
Speaker 1: a lot of promise. And if I'm Brian Flores, I
Speaker 1: want to go into a situation are I feel a
Speaker 1: little bit more comfortable with my quarterback and the Bears
Speaker 1: have more talent than Houston does. Yeah, Seton, why didn't
Speaker 1: and I think you mentioned this earlier, but why didn't
Speaker 1: the Texans just have, say like Romeo Cornell lead them
Speaker 1: through the season instead of hiring somebody just to then
Speaker 1: they they're gonna ultimately end up paying David Culley twenty
Speaker 1: two million dollars to coach one year. Yeah, this way,
Speaker 1: you have Romeo Coronell on staff. You just say, hey,
Speaker 1: we're gonna pay you, you know, something commensurate to being
Speaker 1: a head coach. We just need you to get us
Speaker 1: through this year. So you already you already got Romeo Cornell,
Speaker 1: he's been a head coach, all right, there you go,
Speaker 1: and then he could get you through this season instead
Speaker 1: of bringing in David Cully and making it seem like boy,
Speaker 1: David Cully is gonna be that's the guy we wanted.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be our head coach for the future. Because now,
Speaker 1: not only as an organization do you seem kind of lost,
Speaker 1: but now you're also cruel. What did you do that for? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: is what the text did this season. Tanking in the
Speaker 1: traditional sense. Their quarterbacks that he wouldn't play. They acquiesced
Speaker 1: to him, and they chose not to have him play.
Speaker 1: He's a healthy scratch, he's in the locker room every week,
Speaker 1: and they chose to have a subpar team on the field.
Speaker 1: I mean, their fans got disservices. Is that tanking or
Speaker 1: is that? Is that a strategy? Well, the strategy is
Speaker 1: you didn't want DeShawn Watson to get hurt, therefore you
Speaker 1: can't trade him. He didn't want to play there, and
Speaker 1: it felt like it was everybody's in agreement here. The
Speaker 1: league didn't mind. I didn't hear anybody from the league say,
Speaker 1: come on, you know competitive balance and you got to
Speaker 1: play that guy. It just felt like this was the
Speaker 1: best case for everybody. Keep him off the field. We
Speaker 1: don't want somebody accused of these you know these charges here.
Speaker 1: Let's put him. Take him off the field. And the
Speaker 1: Texans are probably like, yeah, that's fine. And then if
Speaker 1: if you're DeShawn Watson, you don't want to play for
Speaker 1: the Texans. You don't want to get hurt, you don't
Speaker 1: want to hurt trade value. It just felt like everybody
Speaker 1: was in cahoots here, including the league. That's where the league,
Speaker 1: you would think, would go, hey, you got to put
Speaker 1: the best product out there on the field, and until
Speaker 1: he's found guilty of these charges, he should be out
Speaker 1: there playing. But then there's no charges right now, these
Speaker 1: are civil cases against him. We've been dealing with this
Speaker 1: for ten months now, no charges. Was it mid February
Speaker 1: that this came Yeah, middle late February. Remember Deshaun said
Speaker 1: he wouldn't play there and it was all his side
Speaker 1: and then it all went squirreling. Still no charges. Crazy, crazy?
Speaker 1: What are the point spreads do we have? Has any
Speaker 1: point spread changed dramatically? Weatherwise? Oh? By the way, Bill
Speaker 1: Belichick was asked about the weather that they're going to
Speaker 1: face in Buffalo. Hey, Bill hook, you're doing well? What
Speaker 1: are you? What are some of the benefits to you
Speaker 1: for practicing on the game field inside Gallet today? It's
Speaker 1: not frozen. Thanks Okay, you got it. He did have
Speaker 1: a grin on his face. Las Vegas, by the way,
Speaker 1: the greatest arena on earth. As we segue into the point,
Speaker 1: spreads Paul, Yeah, no big changes. I got to Cincinnati
Speaker 1: favored by five and a half, Bill's favored by four,
Speaker 1: Buccaneers favored by eight and a half. I think that
Speaker 1: changed a little. Cowboys still favored by three, chief still
Speaker 1: favored by twelve and a half, and the Rams are
Speaker 1: our four point favorites. Monday night. I don't know when
Speaker 1: it was, but I did mention it on the show
Speaker 1: that we found out that, you know, they treated it
Speaker 1: like it was breaking news in Dallas that Dallas would
Speaker 1: be the backup destination for the super Bowl. And you
Speaker 1: know we heard from prominent people just say they every
Speaker 1: year they have a backup plan. It's standard procedure here. Well,
Speaker 1: the report now is the super Bowl is staying in California,
Speaker 1: Spike COVID concerns. Yeah, I don't know if that's is
Speaker 1: that breaking news? Is it unbreaking false news? It's unbreaking
Speaker 1: breaking news of what was going to happen, that they
Speaker 1: were going to move it to Dallas at and T Stadium.
Speaker 1: They could accept the responsibilities of hosting the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: and uh, but from what we're hearing, the chiefs or
Speaker 1: the RAMS chief operating Officer Kevin Demoff suggested such a
Speaker 1: decision was never seriously considered, okay, and we wanted to
Speaker 1: make sure that we told people that that. Do you
Speaker 1: have a backup plan for every Super Bowl? A couple
Speaker 1: of phone calls in here Mike and Wisconsin. Hi Mike,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Dan? How are we doing? Good? Good?
Speaker 1: What do you have for me? I had a travel
Speaker 1: stop idea for Seaton when he's planning out as old
Speaker 1: trip the Muscle Shoals Sound studio done in Alabama. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I watched the documentary on that, but that would be nice. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's like that whole sort of like crossroads spot down
Speaker 1: there too. There's there's a lot of great music spots
Speaker 1: down there. You just hung up on him, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: thought he's done. Thanks okay, Dan, I guess get to
Speaker 1: your point quickly. Dan from Colorado is joining us on
Speaker 1: the program. Hi, Dan, Hey, Thanks Dan Patrick. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be real quick here since season's hot on the trigger. First,
Speaker 1: as a fellow basketball ficionado, I can't believe that Joker
Speaker 1: is not one of your top three just favorite people
Speaker 1: to watch. And for someone that watches dang near every
Speaker 1: game everywhere, you gotta watch the Nuggets smart because everything does. Dan,
Speaker 1: are you listening to the show? I just mentioned that
Speaker 1: nobody's mentioning the Joker from VP and he doesn't have
Speaker 1: two of his best players. Well, yeah, but nobody else anyway,
Speaker 1: So today has been Well you just said me. I
Speaker 1: just told you that his numbers, he's averaging twenty seven
Speaker 1: and fourteen rebounds and seven assists. I wouldn't like a retraction. Dan. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying you never talk about your one of
Speaker 1: your favorites to watch, but numbers aside. Okay, I'll get
Speaker 1: to my next twenty. He's not Dan, Dan, Dan, he's
Speaker 1: not very exciting to watch. Well, he doesn't know, but
Speaker 1: he's a favorite the way he plays the game. Anyway,
Speaker 1: he's no thank you to hang up on him, Seaton,
Speaker 1: I need come on, Damn. Yeah, all right, okay, this
Speaker 1: will be quick. A Colorado native. Colorado native born in
Speaker 1: the mountains Denver doesn't get tounted with snow, usually to
Speaker 1: March and April, cruising through I seventy in February should
Speaker 1: be smooth Salmon. You can get to Junction and then
Speaker 1: from there you can either be line to Vegas or
Speaker 1: go up to Salt Lake and see your boys at
Speaker 1: Tragger and he could do a meet Friday and send
Speaker 1: it to you guys back in the studio. Thank you, Dan.
Speaker 1: I just mentioned the Joker deserves to be in the
Speaker 1: conversation for MVP, and then I said, but the voters
Speaker 1: probably have. They'll look at this and go, oh, we've
Speaker 1: already done that. Let's move on and the Joker. Joker's
Speaker 1: not exciting to watch. And if I want to watch
Speaker 1: the Joker play, I can go to a local why
Speaker 1: and you see like a fifty year old guy who's
Speaker 1: schooling people because he'll do a pick and roll and
Speaker 1: he'll box out and he'll throw a crisp bounds path.
Speaker 1: He's great. But Tim Duncan wasn't exciting either. Okay, and
Speaker 1: Tim's one of the top ten players of all time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is that, like you want him on your team.
Speaker 1: I don't want to watch him. No, he's not exciting.
Speaker 1: You know why I love watching the Joker is I
Speaker 1: always go how the hell is he getting away with
Speaker 1: all of this? How does it work? He didn't. He
Speaker 1: can't jump, he's not fast. He understands the game, Bob
Speaker 1: and Montana. Bob, what's on your mind today? And it's
Speaker 1: six to five and still a man only two twenty nine.
Speaker 1: My question is now that Fritzie is in charge of
Speaker 1: the poll questions, and in honor of Carl Weather's seventy
Speaker 1: fourth birthday today, my question for Fritzie and all of
Speaker 1: America is at their peak, who would win the heavyweight championship?
Speaker 1: Clubber Lang or Von Drago? Thank you that old question? Yeah, Todd,
Speaker 1: I'll met you answered if you want to. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go Von Drago. He took those steroids and everything, and
Speaker 1: he was punching at a greater rates because whatever he hits,
Speaker 1: he destroys. I think one punch from the air from
Speaker 1: the Russian club Lang would not get up. But if
Speaker 1: he dies, he dies, he dies. Dolph Lunggren actually hurt
Speaker 1: Sylvester Stallone when they he had boxing scenes that he
Speaker 1: actually hurt Stallone, that he was that powerful, and you know,
Speaker 1: Stallone wanted to give the audience that feeling of getting punched,
Speaker 1: and I think he regretted that. Yeah, Seaton Clever Lang
Speaker 1: rocked out knocking two rounds or something like that. Got
Speaker 1: you gotta go with Clever He ran out of gas
Speaker 1: in the rematch. No, no, Clever Lang is not scaring
Speaker 1: Dolph Lundgren Yvon d Girl. No no, because it'd be
Speaker 1: like Lennox Lewis against Mike Tyson. They need not concerned.
Speaker 1: They're not worried about that Yeampo who's scared Stallone less
Speaker 1: as an actor? Uh, Dolph Lungdren or mister t who
Speaker 1: scared him less as like who? When Stone walked onto
Speaker 1: the set of Rocky three Rocky for He's like, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm out acting these guys. I mean, I'm Brando and
Speaker 1: I walk on this. Okay? Cool? You should never came back.
Speaker 1: I must break you. I defeat all Man Seaton, hang
Speaker 1: up on Fritzie. Wow. Make sure Brian Greasy set to
Speaker 1: join us next. All right, I can do that. Thank you, Todd.

Speaker 1: former NFL quarterback, ESPN Monday Night Football analyst. He'll be
Speaker 1: on the call with Lewis Riddick and Steve Levy Monday
Speaker 1: Night Playoff Football. It'll be the Cardinals and the Rams. Brian,
Speaker 1: good to have you back. Biggest question mark you have
Speaker 1: going into this Cardinals Rams game is what Yeah, it
Speaker 1: is the will the Cardinals day be able to handle
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald. They were not able to handle him in
Speaker 1: the second meeting and it was a big reason why
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray felt a lot of pressure and had two
Speaker 1: interceptions in that game. And that was the difference in
Speaker 1: the game. They were driving early, they had a tip
Speaker 1: from Aaron Donald intercepted by ERNs Jones, no points and
Speaker 1: the Rams go right down to score. And then to
Speaker 1: start the second half they had a great play from
Speaker 1: Leonard Floyd tipped interception and that pressure on Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: on the field I think impacted him. Now, you could
Speaker 1: also wonder and the question is about the pressure on
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray off the field, first playoff game in his career.
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of time, energy, and effort put
Speaker 1: into building this team by Steve Kim and they're finally
Speaker 1: in this position. It's not where they wanted to be
Speaker 1: as a wildcard team. I remember about a month ago
Speaker 1: this was the number one seed in the nfcuh and
Speaker 1: they're kind of limping in losers of four or five?
Speaker 1: So how will they respond to the big moment? Also
Speaker 1: as a question for me, but when you have pressure
Speaker 1: up the middle and you're Kyler Murray, how different is
Speaker 1: that pressure up the middle and you're Tom Brady. Well,
Speaker 1: I think the the the approach for Raheem Morris, the
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator for the Rams, number one is to try
Speaker 1: to keep Kyler Murray in the pocket. Um. So it's
Speaker 1: very I mean, it's completely different than Tom Brady. Tom's
Speaker 1: gonna be in there, you know where he's gonna be. Um,
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. You know, job number one is keeping him
Speaker 1: in the pocket because he is dangerous and he will
Speaker 1: beat you outside the pocket. They were they had mixed
Speaker 1: results with that this year. Um, but when he gets
Speaker 1: outside the pocket. He can hurt with his legs more
Speaker 1: than anybody in the league. And uh and so when
Speaker 1: I think the Rams half with von Miller and Leonard
Speaker 1: Floyd up up on the on the edges, is good
Speaker 1: enough to contain him. And then you add in Aaron
Speaker 1: Donald on the end inside. That's what's unique about the
Speaker 1: Rams pass rush and that's why they were successful in
Speaker 1: the second meeting. How would you grade Matthew Stafford's first
Speaker 1: season in LA I right, as of right now, I'd
Speaker 1: say it's about a B. And listen, this team won
Speaker 1: the NFC West. Nobody's given them that kind of credit.
Speaker 1: They won twelve games. Really, his grade will be dependent
Speaker 1: upon what happens in the next month. Didn't they have
Speaker 1: a B quarterback already, Brian Noah, I wouldn't say that.
Speaker 1: I would say they had a B minus C plus
Speaker 1: quarterback in Jared Goff. So I think there's no doubt
Speaker 1: they have upgraded the position. And Matthew Stafford has made
Speaker 1: some unbelievable plays and won them games. Dan now, he's
Speaker 1: also been careless with the ball, and he's tried to
Speaker 1: make plays when they weren't there. And so as they
Speaker 1: get into the playoffs. They need to take a little
Speaker 1: bit off of Matthew Stafford's play. Run the football and
Speaker 1: then when the there to be made, we know that
Speaker 1: he has the ability to make. Yeah. I wondered if
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford was trying on almost every play. I want
Speaker 1: to prove to everybody it was Detroit that was the problem,
Speaker 1: not me. I was there, didn't win a playoff game
Speaker 1: twelve years. Hey, let me get on a winning team
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna show you. And maybe he got out
Speaker 1: of his comfort zone a little bit. And you know,
Speaker 1: but you have four pick six How do you explain
Speaker 1: that seventeen interceptions four of those were pick sixes? Is
Speaker 1: that just you know, by luck, by chance? No. I
Speaker 1: think it's a quarterback trying to do too much. I
Speaker 1: think you're right, you know. I think this is a
Speaker 1: team that not only do they feel like they have
Speaker 1: to win, but dangerous for them, they feel like they
Speaker 1: have to win with style. And that's not Listen, we're
Speaker 1: not talking about the San Francisco forty nine ers like that.
Speaker 1: They don't care how they win. They just want to
Speaker 1: go out and win. But the Rams being in La
Speaker 1: got a lot of bright, shiny toys and the first
Speaker 1: half of the season couldn't have gone any better. In
Speaker 1: the marriage between Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford, you got
Speaker 1: the best receiver in the league in Cooper Cup. I
Speaker 1: got Oldell out there. And you want to have some style,
Speaker 1: you want to have to zazz and I think that
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, from time to time, call it five to six,
Speaker 1: seven plays a game, will force the issue. And that's
Speaker 1: where he's got into trouble. And I don't think that
Speaker 1: he needs to do that for them to win. Pro
Speaker 1: Football Focus released its ranking top ten NFL players to
Speaker 1: start a franchise, with twenty twenty two number one on
Speaker 1: the list. Patrick Mahomes number two on the list. Who
Speaker 1: would you pick start your franchise with in twenty twenty two?
Speaker 1: You know, if you heard, if you heard, pressed to
Speaker 1: pass up Josh Allen or Joe Burrow. Joe, those are
Speaker 1: two of the Joe Burrows top quarterbacks. Joe Burrows two.
Speaker 1: Those are two of the top quarterbacks in my opinion
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks in the league. Justin Herbert is three, Josh
Speaker 1: Allen four. Great argument for Justin as well. You know,
Speaker 1: any one of those three in my opinion you could
Speaker 1: build around. Listen, I'm excited to watch now. We're gonna
Speaker 1: find out about Josh Allen and Joe Burrow here in
Speaker 1: the next the next week and a half, two weeks.
Speaker 1: You know, Josh Allen playing Bill Belichick for the third
Speaker 1: time in a season. Can't wait to watch that and
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow's first opportunity. And listen, I know that, you know,
Speaker 1: the Raiders have kind of squeaked their way in, but
Speaker 1: that'll be a challenge for Joe Burrows. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't disagree with any of those. Okay, I'll continue this.
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is fifth on Pro Football Focus quarterback that
Speaker 1: you would start your franchise with. Now, Age, of course,
Speaker 1: is a factor in only this. Dak Prescott is sixth,
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is seven, Justin Fields eight, Mac Jones is nine,
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson ten any issues. I don't feel as good
Speaker 1: about any of those as I do about Herbert Parle
Speaker 1: and Josh. I'm a surprised Justin Fields was up there.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's pretty elevated status for somebody who's had
Speaker 1: basically one quarter of really impressive football. Yeah, listen, we did,
Speaker 1: we did. Justin fields twice this year and just sitting
Speaker 1: with him, talking with him, watching him on the field.
Speaker 1: He has everything that you're looking for. It's hard to
Speaker 1: evaluate in that situation that he's had in Chicago, with
Speaker 1: the supporting cast of coaching and everything, the tumult in
Speaker 1: the front office. I hope that they get stable in
Speaker 1: that organization and give him an opportunity to see what
Speaker 1: he can really become. But all of those that you
Speaker 1: just mentioned and that second tier have have questions, Dan,
Speaker 1: and so you know, to start a franchise with any
Speaker 1: one of those guys, there's questions involved, PAULI would you
Speaker 1: check has anybody used tumult on this grand before? So?
Speaker 1: Rich Eisen would probably use tunnel, right, Jim Harball would
Speaker 1: not use that. By the way, you think Harball flirting
Speaker 1: with the NFL, You're okay with them as a Michigan
Speaker 1: grand Um, Listen, I'm always in favor of guys maximizing
Speaker 1: their their value. And it's that time of years. What
Speaker 1: if you lose him, Brian Um Listen. If we lose him, Um,
Speaker 1: then we lose him. You know, Like I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not one of those Michigan graand I'm not like eisen
Speaker 1: that you know, his his every single day he wakes up.
Speaker 1: You know, whether he's in a good mood or bad mood.
Speaker 1: Is how Michigan is doing, or whether Harball is staying
Speaker 1: or going. That's not me. Well, if he leaves, will
Speaker 1: find someone else. Well, weather and you know the problems
Speaker 1: that that presents. Brady's probably gonna have high winds in rain.
Speaker 1: The quarterbacks in Buffalo are just gonna have the freezing
Speaker 1: cold there. I don't know if any other teams are
Speaker 1: going to have to factor in weather there. But if
Speaker 1: I said you were playing in wind and rain or
Speaker 1: you're gonna play in just bitterly cold weather as a quarterback,
Speaker 1: which one would you pick? Yeah, just give me the cold.
Speaker 1: You know the cold don't selfishly for a quarterback. It's
Speaker 1: it's really not an impact. Now, it's an impact for
Speaker 1: the guy's catching that rock hard ball and it is slick.
Speaker 1: But uh but no, the wind and the rain is
Speaker 1: just not a good combination. And that I think of
Speaker 1: all the games, that game will be impacted most by
Speaker 1: the weather. We know the Eagles want to run the ball,
Speaker 1: and I'm excited to watch that Eagles offensive line against
Speaker 1: the defensive front for the Bucks. I mean, Vita Vea
Speaker 1: and Jason Kelsey. What a great like. If you're a
Speaker 1: fan of football and you're watching the games this weekend,
Speaker 1: just watch Jason Kelsey the center for the Eagles and
Speaker 1: vite Vea. And now it's a mismatch from a size standpoint,
Speaker 1: but the wily Vet and Kelsey the in the position
Speaker 1: and the leverage and all those things. Um, that's what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be watching. I know everybody else gonna be watching,
Speaker 1: and you know Jaalen Hurts and Tom Brady and all,
Speaker 1: but but to me, Jordan by Lot of the left
Speaker 1: tackle against JPP and Shack Barrett coming off injury. Um,
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna get a good shot from the Eagles.
Speaker 1: They're not gonna lay down. And the Bucks have some
Speaker 1: question marks that need to be answered. And we talked
Speaker 1: with Bruce arians twice this year and he says, listen,
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna run the ball on us. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: well we'll see. It's gonna be a different challenge on
Speaker 1: this weekend. How would you doctor up the football in
Speaker 1: cold weather as a quarterback? What would you use despite
Speaker 1: deflating it? Dan, did you ever deflate a football. Yes, actually, uh,
Speaker 1: you know if it gets cold, um, you want to
Speaker 1: take more air out of the ball because the ball
Speaker 1: gets really hard. But how do you do that though, Well,
Speaker 1: you have a little you have a needle and you
Speaker 1: take a little bit of the air out of the needle.
Speaker 1: That are not allowed to do. Now you have somebody
Speaker 1: who does this for you, correct. Yeah, the the the guys,
Speaker 1: the equipment managers. They're the ones that take care of
Speaker 1: the ball. All within the rules, Dan, completely within the rules,
Speaker 1: all of it. But you know, you got to you
Speaker 1: gotta get up to that level. You gotta get to
Speaker 1: that line. But you want to be able to feel
Speaker 1: the ball. Your hands are already frozen. The ball's frozen
Speaker 1: and it gets slip. The only thing that you can
Speaker 1: do is if you take a little air, you can
Speaker 1: squeeze the ball a little bit easier and then you
Speaker 1: can feel it better. That's that's why quarterbacks do that.
Speaker 1: But did Brady do anything that another quarterbacks don't do?
Speaker 1: I don't think so. No. I mean I think I
Speaker 1: think you're you're constantly trying to find what works for you. Now,
Speaker 1: you now there is that line that you go up
Speaker 1: to and then sometimes guys will cross over it. But
Speaker 1: you're always trying to find that advantage. But were they
Speaker 1: checking back then? You know, back then, Dan, it was interesting.
Speaker 1: The rules were different. Um there was a time period
Speaker 1: where you had to take the balls out of the packaging.
Speaker 1: It had to be brand new, like out of the
Speaker 1: out of the box and out of the packaging. And
Speaker 1: I remember I was so frustrated one time we were
Speaker 1: playing a game. Tony Crenci, who's still working up, comes
Speaker 1: into the locker room and he was making sure that
Speaker 1: the balls that we were using on offense were coming
Speaker 1: right out of the box. I'm like, Tony, like, let
Speaker 1: my guys just work them over. Let's just brush them
Speaker 1: a little bit, because they come out of the film
Speaker 1: on them and they really slick, and it's impossible to
Speaker 1: throw that ball. And I you know, I think Tom
Speaker 1: and Peyton got together and they kind of lobbied the
Speaker 1: league to get rid of that rule, which was the
Speaker 1: dumbest rule that we have ever had for quarterbacks and
Speaker 1: for offensive play because you got guys going back to
Speaker 1: throw the balls slipping out of their hands and nobody
Speaker 1: wants to watch that. Um. So the rules have changed,
Speaker 1: and I think it's in a good place now. But
Speaker 1: you know, I look at this and it just seems
Speaker 1: like somebody rantional. We'll just say, um, the quarterback can
Speaker 1: have the ball that he wants, and the quarterback can
Speaker 1: have the ball that he wants. There's no advantage there.
Speaker 1: If there's no you know, deception, there's no nothing. It's
Speaker 1: this is how you want the football for your team.
Speaker 1: This is how you want the ball for your team.
Speaker 1: Doesn't that seem logical? It does seem logical, you know.
Speaker 1: And um, but you know how uh this league is.
Speaker 1: It's cookie cutter and they want everything by the book
Speaker 1: and they want everything the same. And uh but you certainly,
Speaker 1: Dan could make a logical argument, hey, let the quarterback
Speaker 1: have it however wants it. But you didn't learn to
Speaker 1: cheat at Michigan. You learned this when you got to
Speaker 1: the NFL. Who Well, why do you use that word
Speaker 1: so to gain an advantage? My bad? That word is
Speaker 1: so hard. As I said, as I said, and I
Speaker 1: was quoted within the guy, that's my bad, My bad. Okay,
Speaker 1: the game that we're going to be talking about on
Speaker 1: Tuesday is going to be you know, I think it
Speaker 1: will be the Dallas San Francisco game, and I think
Speaker 1: it's gonna like San Francisco in this game. Yeah, Listen,
Speaker 1: I think that you know, everybody is kind of getting
Speaker 1: on this bandwagon after the second half of the season
Speaker 1: and what Kyle Shanahan has been able to do. Listen,
Speaker 1: the season did not start well for them at three
Speaker 1: and five, I think that they have figured out who
Speaker 1: they are. Listen, this is this is a This is
Speaker 1: not a trendy pick. It's not a fad. If you've
Speaker 1: watched this team and we've we've done their games a
Speaker 1: couple of times. They are the team that will drag you,
Speaker 1: drag the opponent out to the deep end of the water, okay,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna make it gritty and nasty. They're not
Speaker 1: gonna let you play the kind of game that you
Speaker 1: want to play if you're Dallas, you know, spread it
Speaker 1: out and throw the ball all over the place. Um,
Speaker 1: they're gonna see how long you can tread water, because
Speaker 1: they've been treading water for eight weeks and they know
Speaker 1: that they can live in that environment. And so listen,
Speaker 1: all the pressure is on Dallas. Listen, you know, Jerry
Speaker 1: at home, everything that they have done. Um, from a
Speaker 1: from a personnel standpoint, from a roster standpoint. Um, there's
Speaker 1: all the pressure on Dallas and this game is not
Speaker 1: going to be be pretty. It's not gonna be Um.
Speaker 1: I know everybody wants to talk about Michael Parsons and
Speaker 1: about Randy Gregory, about rushing the pastor getting to Jimmy Garoppolo.
Speaker 1: That is not what this game is going to be about.
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan is gonna make it about how physical are
Speaker 1: you gonna play? Are you are your weakest players, your
Speaker 1: weakest tacklers on your defense? Who are your corners right
Speaker 1: on every defense? Treyvon Diggs. No, you're not gonna be
Speaker 1: intercepting passes. I want to see if you can tackle
Speaker 1: Deepo Samuel one on one. Jalen Ramsey got that test
Speaker 1: last week. Okay, Uh, Anthony Brown the other corner on
Speaker 1: the other side, do you want to tackle Elijah Mitchell
Speaker 1: on the perimeter. That that's what this game is gonna
Speaker 1: be about. And I think that's what people are gonna
Speaker 1: be talking about on Tuesday. Great stuff, ran my best
Speaker 1: leaves in uh In Lewis and we'll be watching on
Speaker 1: Monday night. All right, Dan, good to see you. That's
Speaker 1: Brian Greasy. He didn't cheat. He just uh, within the rules,
Speaker 1: within the guidelines there, Yeapo, you said that. I think
Speaker 1: two days after that whole the flaked thing broke. Like
Speaker 1: why is there a rule? Because if each quarterback could
Speaker 1: put the ball however they want, that makes it uh
Speaker 1: no advantage for either team. Yeah, there there there's no
Speaker 1: reason to try to gain an edge. It would be
Speaker 1: like having a rule that you could you like, your
Speaker 1: shoulder pads have to be all uniform. That doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1: There's no uniform, nothing to it. It'll be Monday night
Speaker 1: on ESPN, ABC, ESPN Plus. Yes, ideal gas Law Dan,
Speaker 1: oh no, no, don't get seat and started on this,
Speaker 1: especially when the ideal gas law comes into play and
Speaker 1: that's just changing the PSI of the ball Cardinals and
Speaker 1: the Rams on the mother Ship. That'll be Monday night.
Speaker 1: If you're if you're thank you set, if you're watching, Uh,
Speaker 1: we have brotts and we have burgers coming off the grill.
Speaker 1: If you're watching on Paco Body. Yeah, sorry, Todd. That's
Speaker 1: one of my favorites, is the Brotworst Burger Day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a little chili on the side. If I had
Speaker 1: one thing, it would be like hot dogs and burgers.

Speaker 1: Oh okay Seaton, Andrew Seaton, are you doing? Seaton? Now?
Speaker 1: Your starting point maybe in Connecticut, but before you go west,
Speaker 1: I really think you need to come down to Jersey first,
Speaker 1: because I mean, let's face it, you may live in Connecticut,
Speaker 1: but you're a Jersey boy. First. Does you'll need to
Speaker 1: go back there? Back home? I think she does. I
Speaker 1: think he needs to shoot down to Jersey. Maybe stop
Speaker 1: at Dickie D's on Bluefield the Avenue or rots Hutton quiston,
Speaker 1: go see the parents would be nice, and then go west. Okay,
Speaker 1: go west, young man? All right, Andrew, thank you setan
Speaker 1: there's another suggestion that she's telling you to go home. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not the worst. We go that the worst suggestion.
Speaker 1: Get to pick up some pork roll. It's a pizza.
Speaker 1: But your parents going to be happy to see you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so, okay, all right, thinks all right. I
Speaker 1: mean I gotta run it by them too. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's not no chance. But yeah, you parked the sprinter
Speaker 1: van in the driveway. Yeah, guys, I'm here. Yeah, Nate
Speaker 1: and Oklahoma, Hey Nate, Hey, Daniel, going good. Did you
Speaker 1: send something into the show? Yeah? I send in a
Speaker 1: Christmas card. It was totally my wife's idea. I just
Speaker 1: kind of helped to execute it. But uh yeah, she
Speaker 1: came up with a step Brothers themed a Christmas card
Speaker 1: that I thought went pretty well. I saw it yesterday.
Speaker 1: Well done, Tell your wife well done. What's on your mind?
Speaker 1: Oh sure? Well? Hey, on the no chance for teams,
Speaker 1: you know, I just want to remind you about the
Speaker 1: Titans a few years ago beating you know, Patriots, Tom
Speaker 1: Brady's last game New England beating at Baltimore and ten
Speaker 1: points up on the Chiefs in the Arrowhead, and that
Speaker 1: was just so close that being said, I would love
Speaker 1: it if the Steelers would shock the hell out of
Speaker 1: everyone and beat the Chiefs. So they could just knock
Speaker 1: them out and we play the Titans. Play of the
Speaker 1: Steelers and tendency would be a perfect scenario. Thank you guys,
Speaker 1: all right, Nate, have a great weekend. Phil in Indiana
Speaker 1: High Phil. Hey, Dan, always a great pleasure. By the way,
Speaker 1: I am that fifty year old guy at the why
Speaker 1: that door cuts, fall screens and bounce passes, Buddy, So yeah, Dan,
Speaker 1: real quick, one of the I think one of the
Speaker 1: greatest no chance stories obviously in the history of sports.
Speaker 1: And you kind of touched a little bit on a
Speaker 1: boxing but Buster Douglas forty two to one underdog against Tyson.
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to mention that, Dan. But have
Speaker 1: a great weekend, Buddy. As always, Thank you, Phil, Always
Speaker 1: great to talk to you. Yeah, you got the miracle
Speaker 1: on ice. Nobody gave the United States a chance. But
Speaker 1: that's what makes these moments stand out even brighter, bigger. Now,
Speaker 1: what if something happens to Patrick Mahomes. What if T J.
Speaker 1: Watt takes over the game defensively? What if you have
Speaker 1: been in his last stand and makes a couple of
Speaker 1: big plays or Nag Harris is able to run the football.
Speaker 1: You can't say no chance. Now we could come in
Speaker 1: here on Monday and go man, Pittsburgh didn't have any chance,
Speaker 1: very little chance, a slight chance. But I mean they
Speaker 1: make it blown out. But there's always those moments. Every
Speaker 1: sport has it, and you know you you forget about it.
Speaker 1: Depending on your age, you're like, oh, this team has
Speaker 1: no chance. You go no, you know there's there's precedent
Speaker 1: here in certain sports. Uh dd in Florida, Hi DD,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind? Hey, that's me, double D. Every
Speaker 1: guy's favorite size. Um, I had a question or a
Speaker 1: comment about the Mercedes not so sprint trip. Doesn't it
Speaker 1: seem like you guys are pitching a show where you
Speaker 1: combined Bill and Ted's excellent adventure with Diners, Drivings and Dodgs.
Speaker 1: We we can I guess you know it depends on
Speaker 1: Seaton and the French Kid, but thank you, double D. Yeah,
Speaker 1: wherever they stop, they're going to let you know. And
Speaker 1: if you're in that town, that city, you want to
Speaker 1: join them, meet and greet. You know, it is shaping
Speaker 1: up to be a hell of a food road trip
Speaker 1: where you could sort of swing through, say Indianapolis, get
Speaker 1: a ballish ache, then you have a bunch of great
Speaker 1: barbecue destinations Oklahoma, follow up with another great steak, and
Speaker 1: then you're hitting sort of the Southwest with some Mexican
Speaker 1: that's about as good as again Little tex mex Yeah,
Speaker 1: and maybe you could stop in one place like Saint
Speaker 1: Elmos in Indianapolis just get this shim cocktail like a
Speaker 1: punch in the face, and then that sauce is way
Speaker 1: too hot. It is, but you know what, it's the
Speaker 1: best part of it is though it's way too hot,
Speaker 1: and then it's gone, you know what I mean. It's
Speaker 1: kind of like it doesn't linger forever. It kind of
Speaker 1: punches you in the face and then you're like, wow,
Speaker 1: I think I want another one, and then that's it.
Speaker 1: It's great, great stuff. It is fire. This day in
Speaker 1: sports history got a few free. In nineteen forty eight,

Speaker 1: there was no padding, and it was a cardboard helmet,
Speaker 1: and you know, my dad broke his nose nine times
Speaker 1: and looked like he had broken his nose nine times,
Speaker 1: but they were all from football. And I kept thinking,
Speaker 1: did anybody think about a face mask, Like, wouldn't logic
Speaker 1: go up, Jackie, you broke your nose again? It did.
Speaker 1: That's hard, though, man, that is hard. There was only
Speaker 1: something we could add in. Yeah, runs, Yeah, what could
Speaker 1: do you do? Todd? What did you learn on today's program?
