It's our two on this Thursday, Dan and 0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:10.280 The Dan n S. Dan Patrick Show. We heard from 0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:14.680 Setan O'Connor about fifteen minutes ago on the road in Texas, 0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:18.760 looking to avoid a storm and get to El Paso 0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:23.759 by nightfall and then head up to Phoenix tomorrow. Dan 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:26.920 Patrick Show. Super Week on The Dan Patrick Show is 0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:30.000 brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards 0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:32.479 of The Dan Patrick Show. We'll give you an idea 0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:34.920 who is going to be on the show next week 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:38.000 when we're in Los Angeles for the Super Bowl. Todd, 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:40.720 give the folks just a sampling of some of the 0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:44.120 names who are going to join us next week. Reggie Miller, 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:49.839 you mentioned, Will Farrell, Michael Irvin, Okay, Trey Hickman. Let's 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:51.720 come to those that you've mentioned earlier. But that's a monk, 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:53.840 Dak Prescott, Well Farrell, Yeah, we haven't seen him in 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:56.440 a while. No, a lot of fun working on a 0:00:56.480 --> 0:00:58.200 bunch of other stuff. That should be a great week, 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.920 all right. Tom Peliser of the NFL Network said the 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:05.280 Vikings met with Jim Harball for nine hours yesterday, but 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:08.520 the team didn't make an offer, so Harball goes back 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.880 Dan Arbor and Kevin O'Connell, who is with the Rams, 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:15.920 is expected to be the next head coach of Minnesota. 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:19.399 Eight seven seven three DP show email address dpadan patrick 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.480 dot com Twitter handle a DP show The teams that 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:27.240 are still coachless Dolphins, Jags, Saints, Texans, and the Vikings 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:31.280 at least kind of coachless. You know, the Vikings with 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:33.800 Kevin O'Connell. Feels like that's going to be a done 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:37.720 deal after the Super Bowl. Poll question todd from the 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.320 first hour, all right, we've got what Dolphins owner Stephen 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:42.600 Ross is accused of doing is and the choices were 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:46.840 throwing games, tanking like other teams do, or both. Fifty 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:50.000 eight percent say both, twenty two percent say throwing games 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:53.400 and twenty percent tanking like other teams do. Now, if 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:56.720 you modified the draft, if you took away the incentive 0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:03.120 to tank. With that help, Mike Floor had some possible suggestions. 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.520 He said that you know you're always going to have 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:10.200 tanking as long as the NFL rewards ineptitude with the 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:12.680 DIBs on the best players coming into the league from 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:17.440 college football. How about a lottery for the eighteen non 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:21.720 playoff teams. Each team has an equal shot at getting 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:23.960 the first pick, second pick, and so on in the 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:28.920 first round. How about if you said, to the best 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:32.120 of the non playoff teams, you get the first pick, 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:36.760 and then descending order best to worst. How about that? 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:43.800 How about Super Bowl champs get the first pick. You 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:49.440 incentivized winning the worst team would pick last. Not fair, 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.480 but you do take away the incentive to lose games. 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:54.920 You could get rid of the draft if you wanted to, 0:02:55.120 --> 0:03:01.520 But that's big business. That's not happening. Mike Florio goes 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.720 on to say the Stephen Ross allegations and his response 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:08.040 to them promised to become nasty and ugly and contentious 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:11.200 in the coming months. The simple truth is the entire 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:16.160 issue springs from a system that illogically rewards losing with 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:20.040 the promise of snagging potential generational talent, and that's what 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.320 the Dolphins wanted to do. The owner wanted Joe Burrow. 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:28.560 So even though Ross, if the accusations are true, and 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:32.360 he strongly denies them, undermine the integrity of the game, 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:37.720 violated the Sports Bribery Act, or set the stage for 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:42.600 class action suits in various states that had legalized betting 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:46.320 during the twenty nineteen season. See, there's a lot of 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:48.200 things people haven't brought up, and that was one that 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.840 I did. It was like, if you know, the Dolphins 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.720 were losing games and I was betting on them to win, 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:59.560 what if a betting site decided to sue the Miami Dolphins. 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.720 But this is what happens with the current situation, and 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.680 this happens in sports. Mark Cuban said when they were 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:09.400 out of the playoffs, you know, they tried their best 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:13.560 to lose every game. That cost him six hundred thousand dollars, right, 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.480 but that was after they were eliminated from the playoffs. 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:19.960 I still don't like that. Now, you can get around 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:21.960 that by saying we want to play the younger players, 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:24.000 We want to see what we have going into next season. 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:27.320 You don't use the word tanking, but Mark did, and 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.279 it cost him six hundred thousand dollars. How much money 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:32.839 if I cost Mark Cuban, I think we're up to 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:36.200 what you cost him the chance to own the Cubs. 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.800 There's no real dollar value there except for when it 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.159 would have been one of the greatest purchase in sports history. Yes, 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:47.120 I think remember that he called the Cubs his hooker. Well, 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:48.640 he said, you have your wife and then you have 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:51.840 your thing. You know, there's something you always want out there. Yeah, 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.000 and you said, so the Cubs are hook are you? Yeah, 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.080 the Cubs are my hooker. Yeah. Thing. I would absolutely 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:58.560 pay for it. Yeah. And Major League Baseball decided they 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.080 didn't want Marks. Yeah, that could have had other reasons, 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.120 but yes, they didn't help. Maybe didn't hel Yeah. Well 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.720 I think we cost him two fifty in a fine 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:11.039 for something to do with tampering. He talked about a player. 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:12.440 You asked about a player. I think it cost him 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.960 to fifty. He sent us the sheet, Yeah he did. 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.119 I said, could you send me give me the letter 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.240 that you got from the NBA home office. I think 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:23.240 we're up to eight hundred and fifty grand. You cost Mark? 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.280 Now he paid to be on this show. Yeah, yes 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:30.560 he does. Yeah. Over the years, we've become accustomed to 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:34.440 the SEC dominating National Signing Day, but usually the big 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:38.080 winners are Alabama, Georgi or LSU. The big winner yesterday 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.960 was Texas, A and m As. The Aggies officially secured 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:44.880 the nation's top recruiting class on Wednesday, and there are 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:48.360 reports that maybe they had sort of a slush fund 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:51.760 here a name, image and likeness slush fund that approached 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:55.919 twenty five to thirty million dollars. Here is Jimbo Fisher 0:05:56.440 --> 0:06:00.520 on those accusations. There is no thirty million dollar fund, 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.600 there is no five means, there is no ten. This 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.320 is garbage and it does. It pisses me off. And 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:08.159 here it comes from a site called Brobible by a 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.039 guy named slice Bread. Then everybody runs with it, so 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:14.120 it's written on the internet as gospel. How irresponsible is that? 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.480 And then to have coaches and our leg and across 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:21.000 this leg is say it clown acts all right, irresponsible 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.560 as hell, multiple coaches in our league. And the guy's 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.719 griping about nil, graping about transfer, reporter using it the 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.520 most and bragging about it the most. That's the ironic part. 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:31.560 You want character, I'll trust, I'll take it with any 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.159 of y'all. It's a joke that does piss me off. 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:38.640 Wait is that Shay and Irving or is that Jimbo Fisher? 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:47.120 Slich Bread got a reputable reporter, sh Bread. Why wouldn't 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.680 you just say, man, we got oil money? Do you 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:51.880 want to come down here? And get paid. Come on down, 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:54.479 you want a piece of this. Do I think there 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:57.000 are schools that have a slush fund? Yes? I do, 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:02.360 but it's legal. I'm sure Jimbo wants to make it 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.720 seem like, you know what, all these recruits just want 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.400 to play for him and they want to go to Texas, 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.640 A and M. That could be part of it. But 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:17.640 this is free agency. If I'm a five star recruit, absolutely, 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:21.480 do I have my hand up. Give me a packet 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:24.520 of brochure that says this is what we can offer 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:29.080 you give me the money. Timeline? Are we going to 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:34.080 get to the point where we incentivize these student athletes 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:36.960 when they start to play? Hey, if you get this, 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:42.000 you get this? Why not? This is what the NCAA, 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:46.360 the brilliant minds there didn't think about. There's no salary 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:50.280 cap with name, image and likeness. And who's to say, well, 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.880 that's not really name, image and likeness. Here's a little 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:56.760 bit more of a Jimbo, don't call me shay An 0:07:56.800 --> 0:08:01.560 Irving Fisher talking about what happened at Alabama with their quarterback. 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:04.680 It's funny when Nick Saban said his quarterback got eight 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:06.880 hundred thousand dollar, did it was wonderful. Now it ain't 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.240 wonderful no more. Huh. But ours that we ain't got that. 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:11.320 Ours are on record. What comes up? We ain't going 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.560 on big deals. Ain't none on our place we know of. 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.280 That's funny when you do it. I thought he had 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:21.400 a big, a great day. I gotta be you know what. However, 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.640 we get him, we get him nothing illegal, We got 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:28.040 a great program. We beat Alabama this past year. Come 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:33.000 on now, we'd love to have you. He also talked 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:38.240 about the hypocrisy. The hypocrisy is a joke. It's an 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:41.360 absolute joke, and it's insulting to our staff or hard 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:43.520 we work to how we do things. It's insulting the 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.280 Texas A and M. Because there ain't a better place 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:47.120 to go to school and play ball. We don't like it. 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:49.240 We're coming on and get used to it. We ain't 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.640 going nowhere. Roll tide. I'm sorry. Yeah, I just felt 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:54.400 like the place that Texas A and M plays at 0:08:54.440 --> 0:09:00.480 Alabama October eighth, yeh yeh. Do I think that these 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:04.800 schools have money? Yes, Like I would if I'm coaching 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:07.160 at a school, I'd like, all right, who's going to 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:11.360 handle the name, image and likeness money, and these schools 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:15.160 have hired people business managers to run their name, image 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:21.000 and likeness. You get companies boosters that now you can 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:24.960 do it. It's it's open season. You've been doing it 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.880 for years behind the scenes, under the table. Yeah, bull. 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:30.480 Now you can go to lunch with a booster in 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.120 the middle of the day at a public restaurant. You 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.280 don't have to go like behind a loading dock, you know, 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:36.200 to get to pick up the bag. And it used 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:39.320 to be I remember when I was in college that 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:43.199 Kentucky basketball you got handshakes, hundred dollars handshakes. Now we 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:46.480 didn't get that at Eastern Kentucky. You didn't even get 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:50.040 a handshake. But there they'd give you after the game. Hey, 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.160 great game, and you got a Hundy in your hand. 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:56.040 Now it's like, uh, you know, you get a hundre. 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:59.600 You're like, that's it. Come on, I deserve more than that. 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:03.960 There's my deal, a Gatorade deal. Yeah, name, image and likeness. 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:07.520 And if I'm Jimbo Fisher, just say we got a 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:12.400 great program here. We take care of our recruits and 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.760 we did care about you know, what was going on 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:20.800 at Alabama, Like we brought it up. Nobody cares. But 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:24.200 it's like, you've got a quarterback at Alabama who's making 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.640 more than the quarterback who used to be at Alabama 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:30.040 who starts for the Philadelphia Eagles. Jalen Hurts made eight 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:35.080 hundred thousand, young, maide, what did Bryce make? One point 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:38.040 three million? Now that was what my source said, one 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:41.800 point three eight million. So it's like, just embrace it. 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:46.400 You know, I'm sure you do hard work. I'm sure, 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:51.160 But is that the only reason why is because you're 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:53.960 doing hard work? What is the hard work? What are 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:57.080 you selling them? I always wondered that you either want 0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:59.280 to go or you don't want to go unless there's 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:03.280 something else attached to that. Hey maybe your parents went there, 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:08.920 girlfriend goes there. Whatever. But if I'm Jimbo Fisher, just 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:13.200 do you know what, take a victory lamp. Just relax. 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:19.080 It's okay. I don't care how you got him. I 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:22.240 don't care if is it sliced bread? Yeah, we tried 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:24.720 to book slice bread. He was a little busy. Yeah, 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:28.760 we got burnt toast. We couldn't get sliced bread. Yes, Todd, 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:33.559 I think it's ridiculous. Thank you, Todd. You weren't ready 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.920 where you. I was not okay, are you listening to 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:40.480 another show? I was communicating with a perspective guest for 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:43.959 next thing. Oh, you're gonna get an okay, a perspective 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:47.439 guest perspective guests Okay, not confirmed, but possible. Okay, all right, 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:49.800 I appreciate that. Let's get some phone calls in here. 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:52.679 Ross Tucker, our good buddy's going to join us. Coming up? 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:58.080 Nice James and Cincinnati joins us. Hi, James, what's on 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:02.400 your mind today? What up? DP? You've been a little while. 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:04.920 It's been a it's been a good year in Cincinnati 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:10.960 for football. Yeah, six foot a slender one nineties. So 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:13.079 I got a question for you, Dan. I know you're 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:16.520 trying to stay off the Bengals bandwagon, your home team, 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:18.680 but if the Bengals were to win a Super Bowl, 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:21.240 would you ever consider coming out and doing a show 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:25.000 in Cincinnati? If they lost a Super Bowl, I'd still 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:29.960 consider coming out to do a show in Cincinnati. I mean, yeah, absolutely, 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:34.880 I love Cincinnati, But if they won the Super Bowl. 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:37.640 You know, there's a lot of logistics if you're bringing 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:39.800 a show like this on the road, because it is 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:42.560 TV and radio. We got a lot of people that 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:46.240 we would have to bring. Maybe we'd load up a 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:50.280 sprinter van and bring everybody out, drive out Cincinnati, come 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.559 out for the parade. How about that. Maybe the Mercedes 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:56.560 sprinter van is in the parade now we're talking. Okay, 0:12:56.679 --> 0:13:00.760 maybe Fritzie can be up on top. I'd give that 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:04.199 a shot. But remember you did pass on the Broncos 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:08.319 victory parade when von Miller invited you because I wanted 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:09.520 to go with my son. I don't want to go 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:13.560 by myself. But who said you couldn't bring your son? 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:17.000 I was under impression it was a one ticket thing. 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:18.880 There was nothing I've mentioned about a pair then that 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.200 would have changed. No, Now that was the football game. 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:25.000 You got one t Yeah, yeah, I just bat. I 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:26.480 didn't feel like I needed to be on the I 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:28.000 wasn't like one of the players. I don't deserve to 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:29.920 be on the flute. Yeah, but von Miller was saying, 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:33.520 I'm gonna put you on the float with us. Why 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:36.160 don't you think of others like us? That's content for 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:39.719 us if you're on the victory parade. I guess I 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.560 didn't feel like it's my place. It's not, but that's 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:45.240 still you know, there's a lot of things that aren't 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:48.439 your plays. Put myself into that I shouldn't. You were 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.640 invited by von Miller, Yeah, I von Miller invited me 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:53.040 to be in the Bronco's parade. I would do it. 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:57.800 I don't like the Bronco. Get Jake and Iowa, Hey Jake, 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:03.719 what's on your mind today? Hey Dan, Hey Jake. I 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:10.480 have eleven a hardening, one five hard I'm just calling in. 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:12.360 I was wondering if the Coach of the Year votes 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:16.280 are in. I believe, I just, I just I just 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.719 think it'd be a shame if Zach Taylor didn't get 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:22.240 every vote, every vote out there. He's had the best 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:25.640 story in my opinion, on getting I saw the Vegas 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:30.880 odds he was second behind uh like Rabel. Yeah, I 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:34.680 think that. You know, it's a regular season award now, 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:39.040 you know, it'd be interesting what history would show if 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:42.880 you voted after the playoffs in every sport, MVP, Coach 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:46.240 of the Year, all of those things, because if you said, 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.320 let's vote at the end of the year, end of 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:52.280 the season for Coach of the Year, Well, if Sean 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:55.840 McVay wins the Super Bowl, or let's say Joe Burrow 0:14:55.920 --> 0:15:01.960 won the Super Bowl. Is Joe Burrow the most valuable player? Yes? Absolutely, 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.280 like they want a super Bowl. Look at where they 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:08.760 were the start the year. They had four wins and 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:12.880 it's because of him. I mean, I know that you 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:15.760 have to have a whole team, but Joe Burrow changed 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:22.120 an entire team and second year, he's so far ahead 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:24.640 of schedule. Here I thought the Bengals were maybe two 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:28.840 years away. And you know, here's the thing. I wonder, 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:32.520 will the Bengals be the favorites in their own division 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:37.200 next year? And I wondered about that. Imagine going to 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:39.360 the super Bowl in the next year, you might not 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:42.800 be the favorite in your own division because it might 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:47.560 be the Ravens.

You can find him on social 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:50.520 media at Ross Tucker NFL. I saw an article in 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:54.040 the La Times and the gist of the article is 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:56.280 who has the most pressure on them in the Super Bowl? 0:17:56.680 --> 0:18:02.919 And the La Times was saying it's Sean McVeigh. Keep 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:06.720 behind it. Then, yeah, that was gonna be my initial reactly. 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:10.600 I mean, it's nobody on the Bengals. I mean it's 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.360 nobody on the Bengals. Obviously nobody expected to be here. 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:17.840 I think you could say Matthew Stafford, but he's already 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:22.000 won three playoff games, he already got them to the 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:25.920 Super Bowl further than Jared Goff did. The only person 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:30.360 here who has the ability really to accomplish something that 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:34.119 they have missed out on to this point is McVeigh 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:36.960 because not only did they lose that Super Bowl to 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:40.120 the Patriots, but they couldn't score. I mean, Dan, he's 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:45.240 an offensive genius, whiz guru. They could not score against 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:48.359 the Patriots in that Super Bowl. I don't think there's 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:50.399 that much pressure on anybody, to be honest with you, 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:54.080 but if there is one person that has the biggest 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:58.720 onus on them in this game, it's probably McVeigh. Let's 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:00.640 look at the last couple of days in the NFL. 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:03.680 Let me let me start with Jim Harball. What question 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:07.000 or questions do you have with Harball going back to Michigan, 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:11.359 how bad he wants to get back in the NFL. 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:15.560 I mean, like, to me, this makes me laugh. And 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:20.240 you know, you see last night multiple reports Jim Harball 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:23.600 has called Michigan he wants to come back and be there. 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:27.480 And then like fifteen minutes later, the Vikings are expected 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:30.159 to hire Kevin O'Connell as their head coach. You know, 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:33.680 like everybody does this. I mean, from now on, anytime 0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:36.320 the head coach interview, I'm gonna call the Rostocker podcast 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:38.479 and be like, I'm gonna stay. I'm gonna stay as 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:40.880 soon as I find out somebody else gets the head job. 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:43.560 I'm gonna stay going on Dan Patrick every week, like, 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:48.280 give me a break, dude. National signing good. I wonder 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:52.320 if Harball went there expecting for the Vikings to sell 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:56.280 him on the Vikings organization, and it feels like the 0:19:56.400 --> 0:20:00.240 Vikings said to Jim Harball, we want you to tell 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:04.200 yourself to us, and I think you're there for nine hours. 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:09.160 I mean, you don't go through nine hours without getting 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:12.399 a job if you're Jim Harball. I'm thinking. But I 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:14.800 think he went into that interview and maybe it was like, 0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:19.359 I'm here, hire me, and Minnesota probably went no, it 0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:21.560 doesn't work that way, Jim. We want to know what 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:25.600 you can do for the organization. Well, I think that's possible. 0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:30.160 At a minimum. He wouldn't go for a nine hour 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:33.760 interview to Minnesota on National Signing Day, and I know 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:36.199 it's the second signing day, but still he wouldn't do 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:39.320 that unless you wanted the job. I believe you wanted 0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:42.160 the job. You know, there have been so many rumors 0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:44.399 for the last few weeks that he really wants to 0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:47.440 get back to the NFL. I don't blame him. Recruiting 0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:51.399 is twenty four seven And when I personally think happened 0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:53.480 is as soon as he caught wind or his agent 0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:57.200 caught wind that he wasn't getting the job, he wanted 0:20:57.200 --> 0:20:59.920 to make it look like he was turning them down. 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:02.520 It's not you, you know, it's me. It's not you. 0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:05.280 That's not the case. I'm pretty confident he wanted the job. 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:09.320 And if you're the new GM for the Vikings, do 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:12.560 you really want your first hire to be bringing a 0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:16.439 guy who had ended really poorly the last time because 0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:19.640 he got into a power struggle with the GM. I mean, 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:22.920 this would be a first time GM. My guy Quasi 0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:25.280 from Princeton, who's younger than me, makes me feel bad 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:28.200 about myself, and now he's a GM of an NFL team. 0:21:28.320 --> 0:21:30.359 He didn't want to bring it. I wouldn't think you 0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:32.440 would want to bring in a guy that could lead 0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:34.720 to a power struggle. I don't think it'll happen with 0:21:34.800 --> 0:21:38.959 Kevin O'Connell. Yeah, And then I wonder if I'm Steven 0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:42.480 Ross and the timing is horrible. But Stephen Ross didn't 0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:45.680 want to poach Harball from Michigan. But if he knows 0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:48.720 that Minnesota is going to poach him from Michigan, then 0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:52.399 what would stop Steven Ross from not trying to poach 0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:55.080 him because Jim wants to go to the NFL. But 0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:58.120 giving the timing of what happened and Brian Flora and stuff, 0:21:58.520 --> 0:22:02.360 it probably felt like, you know, Jim can't go play 0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:04.640 for Stephen. Wrong, Stephen and Rons may not have this 0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:06.960 team in a year with everything that's gone on. What 0:22:07.040 --> 0:22:10.040 do you make the allegations against the Dolphins in their 0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:13.199 owner Well, that's the one that jumped out to me 0:22:13.280 --> 0:22:16.919 the most. You know, all of the Rooney rule coach 0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:21.760 hiring stuff is of course a huge topic, but it's 0:22:21.840 --> 0:22:24.399 one that we broach every offseason. I mean, we talk 0:22:24.440 --> 0:22:26.760 about that every offication. It doesn't make it better, and 0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:30.640 I'd be incredibly frustrated if I was a minority head 0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:35.080 coach candidate. But what's new this year in this lawsuit? 0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:39.120 What jumped out to me was the allegations of being 0:22:39.160 --> 0:22:43.920 incentivized to lose games, which is a major major problem. 0:22:44.200 --> 0:22:49.760 I mean, if there's any evidence of that, the NFL 0:22:49.840 --> 0:22:52.360 is going to come down on him as hard as 0:22:52.400 --> 0:22:54.840 they ever have. They're going to take his team away. 0:22:55.640 --> 0:22:59.879 You think they will for that where you're fixing games, 0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:05.359 I mean it's bribing. It's it's a bribery act. And 0:23:05.480 --> 0:23:07.960
