Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. It's our two on this Thursday, Dan and
Speaker 1: The Dan n S. Dan Patrick Show. We heard from
Speaker 1: Setan O'Connor about fifteen minutes ago on the road in Texas,
Speaker 1: looking to avoid a storm and get to El Paso
Speaker 1: by nightfall and then head up to Phoenix tomorrow. Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show. Super Week on The Dan Patrick Show is
Speaker 1: brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards
Speaker 1: of The Dan Patrick Show. We'll give you an idea
Speaker 1: who is going to be on the show next week
Speaker 1: when we're in Los Angeles for the Super Bowl. Todd,
Speaker 1: give the folks just a sampling of some of the
Speaker 1: names who are going to join us next week. Reggie Miller,
Speaker 1: you mentioned, Will Farrell, Michael Irvin, Okay, Trey Hickman. Let's
Speaker 1: come to those that you've mentioned earlier. But that's a monk,
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, Well Farrell, Yeah, we haven't seen him in
Speaker 1: a while. No, a lot of fun working on a
Speaker 1: bunch of other stuff. That should be a great week,
Speaker 1: all right. Tom Peliser of the NFL Network said the
Speaker 1: Vikings met with Jim Harball for nine hours yesterday, but
Speaker 1: the team didn't make an offer, so Harball goes back
Speaker 1: Dan Arbor and Kevin O'Connell, who is with the Rams,
Speaker 1: is expected to be the next head coach of Minnesota.
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven three DP show email address dpadan patrick
Speaker 1: dot com Twitter handle a DP show The teams that
Speaker 1: are still coachless Dolphins, Jags, Saints, Texans, and the Vikings
Speaker 1: at least kind of coachless. You know, the Vikings with
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell. Feels like that's going to be a done
Speaker 1: deal after the Super Bowl. Poll question todd from the
Speaker 1: first hour, all right, we've got what Dolphins owner Stephen
Speaker 1: Ross is accused of doing is and the choices were
Speaker 1: throwing games, tanking like other teams do, or both. Fifty
Speaker 1: eight percent say both, twenty two percent say throwing games
Speaker 1: and twenty percent tanking like other teams do. Now, if
Speaker 1: you modified the draft, if you took away the incentive
Speaker 1: to tank. With that help, Mike Floor had some possible suggestions.
Speaker 1: He said that you know you're always going to have
Speaker 1: tanking as long as the NFL rewards ineptitude with the
Speaker 1: DIBs on the best players coming into the league from
Speaker 1: college football. How about a lottery for the eighteen non
Speaker 1: playoff teams. Each team has an equal shot at getting
Speaker 1: the first pick, second pick, and so on in the
Speaker 1: first round. How about if you said, to the best
Speaker 1: of the non playoff teams, you get the first pick,
Speaker 1: and then descending order best to worst. How about that?
Speaker 1: How about Super Bowl champs get the first pick. You
Speaker 1: incentivized winning the worst team would pick last. Not fair,
Speaker 1: but you do take away the incentive to lose games.
Speaker 1: You could get rid of the draft if you wanted to,
Speaker 1: But that's big business. That's not happening. Mike Florio goes
Speaker 1: on to say the Stephen Ross allegations and his response
Speaker 1: to them promised to become nasty and ugly and contentious
Speaker 1: in the coming months. The simple truth is the entire
Speaker 1: issue springs from a system that illogically rewards losing with
Speaker 1: the promise of snagging potential generational talent, and that's what
Speaker 1: the Dolphins wanted to do. The owner wanted Joe Burrow.
Speaker 1: So even though Ross, if the accusations are true, and
Speaker 1: he strongly denies them, undermine the integrity of the game,
Speaker 1: violated the Sports Bribery Act, or set the stage for
Speaker 1: class action suits in various states that had legalized betting
Speaker 1: during the twenty nineteen season. See, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: things people haven't brought up, and that was one that
Speaker 1: I did. It was like, if you know, the Dolphins
Speaker 1: were losing games and I was betting on them to win,
Speaker 1: what if a betting site decided to sue the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: But this is what happens with the current situation, and
Speaker 1: this happens in sports. Mark Cuban said when they were
Speaker 1: out of the playoffs, you know, they tried their best
Speaker 1: to lose every game. That cost him six hundred thousand dollars, right,
Speaker 1: but that was after they were eliminated from the playoffs.
Speaker 1: I still don't like that. Now, you can get around
Speaker 1: that by saying we want to play the younger players,
Speaker 1: We want to see what we have going into next season.
Speaker 1: You don't use the word tanking, but Mark did, and
Speaker 1: it cost him six hundred thousand dollars. How much money
Speaker 1: if I cost Mark Cuban, I think we're up to
Speaker 1: what you cost him the chance to own the Cubs.
Speaker 1: There's no real dollar value there except for when it
Speaker 1: would have been one of the greatest purchase in sports history. Yes,
Speaker 1: I think remember that he called the Cubs his hooker. Well,
Speaker 1: he said, you have your wife and then you have
Speaker 1: your thing. You know, there's something you always want out there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you said, so the Cubs are hook are you? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Cubs are my hooker. Yeah. Thing. I would absolutely
Speaker 1: pay for it. Yeah. And Major League Baseball decided they
Speaker 1: didn't want Marks. Yeah, that could have had other reasons,
Speaker 1: but yes, they didn't help. Maybe didn't hel Yeah. Well
Speaker 1: I think we cost him two fifty in a fine
Speaker 1: for something to do with tampering. He talked about a player.
Speaker 1: You asked about a player. I think it cost him
Speaker 1: to fifty. He sent us the sheet, Yeah he did.
Speaker 1: I said, could you send me give me the letter
Speaker 1: that you got from the NBA home office. I think
Speaker 1: we're up to eight hundred and fifty grand. You cost Mark?
Speaker 1: Now he paid to be on this show. Yeah, yes
Speaker 1: he does. Yeah. Over the years, we've become accustomed to
Speaker 1: the SEC dominating National Signing Day, but usually the big
Speaker 1: winners are Alabama, Georgi or LSU. The big winner yesterday
Speaker 1: was Texas, A and m As. The Aggies officially secured
Speaker 1: the nation's top recruiting class on Wednesday, and there are
Speaker 1: reports that maybe they had sort of a slush fund
Speaker 1: here a name, image and likeness slush fund that approached
Speaker 1: twenty five to thirty million dollars. Here is Jimbo Fisher
Speaker 1: on those accusations. There is no thirty million dollar fund,
Speaker 1: there is no five means, there is no ten. This
Speaker 1: is garbage and it does. It pisses me off. And
Speaker 1: here it comes from a site called Brobible by a
Speaker 1: guy named slice Bread. Then everybody runs with it, so
Speaker 1: it's written on the internet as gospel. How irresponsible is that?
Speaker 1: And then to have coaches and our leg and across
Speaker 1: this leg is say it clown acts all right, irresponsible
Speaker 1: as hell, multiple coaches in our league. And the guy's
Speaker 1: griping about nil, graping about transfer, reporter using it the
Speaker 1: most and bragging about it the most. That's the ironic part.
Speaker 1: You want character, I'll trust, I'll take it with any
Speaker 1: of y'all. It's a joke that does piss me off.
Speaker 1: Wait is that Shay and Irving or is that Jimbo Fisher?
Speaker 1: Slich Bread got a reputable reporter, sh Bread. Why wouldn't
Speaker 1: you just say, man, we got oil money? Do you
Speaker 1: want to come down here? And get paid. Come on down,
Speaker 1: you want a piece of this. Do I think there
Speaker 1: are schools that have a slush fund? Yes? I do,
Speaker 1: but it's legal. I'm sure Jimbo wants to make it
Speaker 1: seem like, you know what, all these recruits just want
Speaker 1: to play for him and they want to go to Texas,
Speaker 1: A and M. That could be part of it. But
Speaker 1: this is free agency. If I'm a five star recruit, absolutely,
Speaker 1: do I have my hand up. Give me a packet
Speaker 1: of brochure that says this is what we can offer
Speaker 1: you give me the money. Timeline? Are we going to
Speaker 1: get to the point where we incentivize these student athletes
Speaker 1: when they start to play? Hey, if you get this,
Speaker 1: you get this? Why not? This is what the NCAA,
Speaker 1: the brilliant minds there didn't think about. There's no salary
Speaker 1: cap with name, image and likeness. And who's to say, well,
Speaker 1: that's not really name, image and likeness. Here's a little
Speaker 1: bit more of a Jimbo, don't call me shay An
Speaker 1: Irving Fisher talking about what happened at Alabama with their quarterback.
Speaker 1: It's funny when Nick Saban said his quarterback got eight
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollar, did it was wonderful. Now it ain't
Speaker 1: wonderful no more. Huh. But ours that we ain't got that.
Speaker 1: Ours are on record. What comes up? We ain't going
Speaker 1: on big deals. Ain't none on our place we know of.
Speaker 1: That's funny when you do it. I thought he had
Speaker 1: a big, a great day. I gotta be you know what. However,
Speaker 1: we get him, we get him nothing illegal, We got
Speaker 1: a great program. We beat Alabama this past year. Come
Speaker 1: on now, we'd love to have you. He also talked
Speaker 1: about the hypocrisy. The hypocrisy is a joke. It's an
Speaker 1: absolute joke, and it's insulting to our staff or hard
Speaker 1: we work to how we do things. It's insulting the
Speaker 1: Texas A and M. Because there ain't a better place
Speaker 1: to go to school and play ball. We don't like it.
Speaker 1: We're coming on and get used to it. We ain't
Speaker 1: going nowhere. Roll tide. I'm sorry. Yeah, I just felt
Speaker 1: like the place that Texas A and M plays at
Speaker 1: Alabama October eighth, yeh yeh. Do I think that these
Speaker 1: schools have money? Yes, Like I would if I'm coaching
Speaker 1: at a school, I'd like, all right, who's going to
Speaker 1: handle the name, image and likeness money, and these schools
Speaker 1: have hired people business managers to run their name, image
Speaker 1: and likeness. You get companies boosters that now you can
Speaker 1: do it. It's it's open season. You've been doing it
Speaker 1: for years behind the scenes, under the table. Yeah, bull.
Speaker 1: Now you can go to lunch with a booster in
Speaker 1: the middle of the day at a public restaurant. You
Speaker 1: don't have to go like behind a loading dock, you know,
Speaker 1: to get to pick up the bag. And it used
Speaker 1: to be I remember when I was in college that
Speaker 1: Kentucky basketball you got handshakes, hundred dollars handshakes. Now we
Speaker 1: didn't get that at Eastern Kentucky. You didn't even get
Speaker 1: a handshake. But there they'd give you after the game. Hey,
Speaker 1: great game, and you got a Hundy in your hand.
Speaker 1: Now it's like, uh, you know, you get a hundre.
Speaker 1: You're like, that's it. Come on, I deserve more than that.
Speaker 1: There's my deal, a Gatorade deal. Yeah, name, image and likeness.
Speaker 1: And if I'm Jimbo Fisher, just say we got a
Speaker 1: great program here. We take care of our recruits and
Speaker 1: we did care about you know, what was going on
Speaker 1: at Alabama, Like we brought it up. Nobody cares. But
Speaker 1: it's like, you've got a quarterback at Alabama who's making
Speaker 1: more than the quarterback who used to be at Alabama
Speaker 1: who starts for the Philadelphia Eagles. Jalen Hurts made eight
Speaker 1: hundred thousand, young, maide, what did Bryce make? One point
Speaker 1: three million? Now that was what my source said, one
Speaker 1: point three eight million. So it's like, just embrace it.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm sure you do hard work. I'm sure,
Speaker 1: But is that the only reason why is because you're
Speaker 1: doing hard work? What is the hard work? What are
Speaker 1: you selling them? I always wondered that you either want
Speaker 1: to go or you don't want to go unless there's
Speaker 1: something else attached to that. Hey maybe your parents went there,
Speaker 1: girlfriend goes there. Whatever. But if I'm Jimbo Fisher, just
Speaker 1: do you know what, take a victory lamp. Just relax.
Speaker 1: It's okay. I don't care how you got him. I
Speaker 1: don't care if is it sliced bread? Yeah, we tried
Speaker 1: to book slice bread. He was a little busy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we got burnt toast. We couldn't get sliced bread. Yes, Todd,
Speaker 1: I think it's ridiculous. Thank you, Todd. You weren't ready
Speaker 1: where you. I was not okay, are you listening to
Speaker 1: another show? I was communicating with a perspective guest for
Speaker 1: next thing. Oh, you're gonna get an okay, a perspective
Speaker 1: guest perspective guests Okay, not confirmed, but possible. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Let's get some phone calls in here.
Speaker 1: Ross Tucker, our good buddy's going to join us. Coming up?
Speaker 1: Nice James and Cincinnati joins us. Hi, James, what's on
Speaker 1: your mind today? What up? DP? You've been a little while.
Speaker 1: It's been a it's been a good year in Cincinnati
Speaker 1: for football. Yeah, six foot a slender one nineties. So
Speaker 1: I got a question for you, Dan. I know you're
Speaker 1: trying to stay off the Bengals bandwagon, your home team,
Speaker 1: but if the Bengals were to win a Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: would you ever consider coming out and doing a show
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati? If they lost a Super Bowl, I'd still
Speaker 1: consider coming out to do a show in Cincinnati. I mean, yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: I love Cincinnati, But if they won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of logistics if you're bringing
Speaker 1: a show like this on the road, because it is
Speaker 1: TV and radio. We got a lot of people that
Speaker 1: we would have to bring. Maybe we'd load up a
Speaker 1: sprinter van and bring everybody out, drive out Cincinnati, come
Speaker 1: out for the parade. How about that. Maybe the Mercedes
Speaker 1: sprinter van is in the parade now we're talking. Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe Fritzie can be up on top. I'd give that
Speaker 1: a shot. But remember you did pass on the Broncos
Speaker 1: victory parade when von Miller invited you because I wanted
Speaker 1: to go with my son. I don't want to go
Speaker 1: by myself. But who said you couldn't bring your son?
Speaker 1: I was under impression it was a one ticket thing.
Speaker 1: There was nothing I've mentioned about a pair then that
Speaker 1: would have changed. No, Now that was the football game.
Speaker 1: You got one t Yeah, yeah, I just bat. I
Speaker 1: didn't feel like I needed to be on the I
Speaker 1: wasn't like one of the players. I don't deserve to
Speaker 1: be on the flute. Yeah, but von Miller was saying,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put you on the float with us. Why
Speaker 1: don't you think of others like us? That's content for
Speaker 1: us if you're on the victory parade. I guess I
Speaker 1: didn't feel like it's my place. It's not, but that's
Speaker 1: still you know, there's a lot of things that aren't
Speaker 1: your plays. Put myself into that I shouldn't. You were
Speaker 1: invited by von Miller, Yeah, I von Miller invited me
Speaker 1: to be in the Bronco's parade. I would do it.
Speaker 1: I don't like the Bronco. Get Jake and Iowa, Hey Jake,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Hey Dan, Hey Jake. I
Speaker 1: have eleven a hardening, one five hard I'm just calling in.
Speaker 1: I was wondering if the Coach of the Year votes
Speaker 1: are in. I believe, I just, I just I just
Speaker 1: think it'd be a shame if Zach Taylor didn't get
Speaker 1: every vote, every vote out there. He's had the best
Speaker 1: story in my opinion, on getting I saw the Vegas
Speaker 1: odds he was second behind uh like Rabel. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think that. You know, it's a regular season award now,
Speaker 1: you know, it'd be interesting what history would show if
Speaker 1: you voted after the playoffs in every sport, MVP, Coach
Speaker 1: of the Year, all of those things, because if you said,
Speaker 1: let's vote at the end of the year, end of
Speaker 1: the season for Coach of the Year, Well, if Sean
Speaker 1: McVay wins the Super Bowl, or let's say Joe Burrow
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl. Is Joe Burrow the most valuable player? Yes? Absolutely,
Speaker 1: like they want a super Bowl. Look at where they
Speaker 1: were the start the year. They had four wins and
Speaker 1: it's because of him. I mean, I know that you
Speaker 1: have to have a whole team, but Joe Burrow changed
Speaker 1: an entire team and second year, he's so far ahead
Speaker 1: of schedule. Here I thought the Bengals were maybe two
Speaker 1: years away. And you know, here's the thing. I wonder,
Speaker 1: will the Bengals be the favorites in their own division
Speaker 1: next year? And I wondered about that. Imagine going to
Speaker 1: the super Bowl in the next year, you might not
Speaker 1: be the favorite in your own division because it might
Speaker 1: be the Ravens. Let's take a break, Ross Tucker Nice,
Speaker 1: we'll join us. Coming up next. More phone calls as well.

Speaker 1: Ross Tucker host of the Ross Tucker Football Podcast and
Speaker 1: also Even Money Podcast. You can find him on social
Speaker 1: media at Ross Tucker NFL. I saw an article in
Speaker 1: the La Times and the gist of the article is
Speaker 1: who has the most pressure on them in the Super Bowl?
Speaker 1: And the La Times was saying it's Sean McVeigh. Keep
Speaker 1: behind it. Then, yeah, that was gonna be my initial reactly.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's nobody on the Bengals. I mean it's
Speaker 1: nobody on the Bengals. Obviously nobody expected to be here.
Speaker 1: I think you could say Matthew Stafford, but he's already
Speaker 1: won three playoff games, he already got them to the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl further than Jared Goff did. The only person
Speaker 1: here who has the ability really to accomplish something that
Speaker 1: they have missed out on to this point is McVeigh
Speaker 1: because not only did they lose that Super Bowl to
Speaker 1: the Patriots, but they couldn't score. I mean, Dan, he's
Speaker 1: an offensive genius, whiz guru. They could not score against
Speaker 1: the Patriots in that Super Bowl. I don't think there's
Speaker 1: that much pressure on anybody, to be honest with you,
Speaker 1: but if there is one person that has the biggest
Speaker 1: onus on them in this game, it's probably McVeigh. Let's
Speaker 1: look at the last couple of days in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Let me let me start with Jim Harball. What question
Speaker 1: or questions do you have with Harball going back to Michigan,
Speaker 1: how bad he wants to get back in the NFL.
Speaker 1: I mean, like, to me, this makes me laugh. And
Speaker 1: you know, you see last night multiple reports Jim Harball
Speaker 1: has called Michigan he wants to come back and be there.
Speaker 1: And then like fifteen minutes later, the Vikings are expected
Speaker 1: to hire Kevin O'Connell as their head coach. You know,
Speaker 1: like everybody does this. I mean, from now on, anytime
Speaker 1: the head coach interview, I'm gonna call the Rostocker podcast
Speaker 1: and be like, I'm gonna stay. I'm gonna stay as
Speaker 1: soon as I find out somebody else gets the head job.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay going on Dan Patrick every week, like,
Speaker 1: give me a break, dude. National signing good. I wonder
Speaker 1: if Harball went there expecting for the Vikings to sell
Speaker 1: him on the Vikings organization, and it feels like the
Speaker 1: Vikings said to Jim Harball, we want you to tell
Speaker 1: yourself to us, and I think you're there for nine hours.
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't go through nine hours without getting
Speaker 1: a job if you're Jim Harball. I'm thinking. But I
Speaker 1: think he went into that interview and maybe it was like,
Speaker 1: I'm here, hire me, and Minnesota probably went no, it
Speaker 1: doesn't work that way, Jim. We want to know what
Speaker 1: you can do for the organization. Well, I think that's possible.
Speaker 1: At a minimum. He wouldn't go for a nine hour
Speaker 1: interview to Minnesota on National Signing Day, and I know
Speaker 1: it's the second signing day, but still he wouldn't do
Speaker 1: that unless you wanted the job. I believe you wanted
Speaker 1: the job. You know, there have been so many rumors
Speaker 1: for the last few weeks that he really wants to
Speaker 1: get back to the NFL. I don't blame him. Recruiting
Speaker 1: is twenty four seven And when I personally think happened
Speaker 1: is as soon as he caught wind or his agent
Speaker 1: caught wind that he wasn't getting the job, he wanted
Speaker 1: to make it look like he was turning them down.
Speaker 1: It's not you, you know, it's me. It's not you.
Speaker 1: That's not the case. I'm pretty confident he wanted the job.
Speaker 1: And if you're the new GM for the Vikings, do
Speaker 1: you really want your first hire to be bringing a
Speaker 1: guy who had ended really poorly the last time because
Speaker 1: he got into a power struggle with the GM. I mean,
Speaker 1: this would be a first time GM. My guy Quasi
Speaker 1: from Princeton, who's younger than me, makes me feel bad
Speaker 1: about myself, and now he's a GM of an NFL team.
Speaker 1: He didn't want to bring it. I wouldn't think you
Speaker 1: would want to bring in a guy that could lead
Speaker 1: to a power struggle. I don't think it'll happen with
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell. Yeah, And then I wonder if I'm Steven
Speaker 1: Ross and the timing is horrible. But Stephen Ross didn't
Speaker 1: want to poach Harball from Michigan. But if he knows
Speaker 1: that Minnesota is going to poach him from Michigan, then
Speaker 1: what would stop Steven Ross from not trying to poach
Speaker 1: him because Jim wants to go to the NFL. But
Speaker 1: giving the timing of what happened and Brian Flora and stuff,
Speaker 1: it probably felt like, you know, Jim can't go play
Speaker 1: for Stephen. Wrong, Stephen and Rons may not have this
Speaker 1: team in a year with everything that's gone on. What
Speaker 1: do you make the allegations against the Dolphins in their
Speaker 1: owner Well, that's the one that jumped out to me
Speaker 1: the most. You know, all of the Rooney rule coach
Speaker 1: hiring stuff is of course a huge topic, but it's
Speaker 1: one that we broach every offseason. I mean, we talk
Speaker 1: about that every offication. It doesn't make it better, and
Speaker 1: I'd be incredibly frustrated if I was a minority head
Speaker 1: coach candidate. But what's new this year in this lawsuit?
Speaker 1: What jumped out to me was the allegations of being
Speaker 1: incentivized to lose games, which is a major major problem.
Speaker 1: I mean, if there's any evidence of that, the NFL
Speaker 1: is going to come down on him as hard as
Speaker 1: they ever have. They're going to take his team away.
Speaker 1: You think they will for that where you're fixing games,
Speaker 1: I mean it's bribing. It's it's a bribery act. And
Speaker 1: you can't just find him a million or ten million
Speaker 1: or twenty million and doesn't matter to him. He's throwing games.
Speaker 1: He wants you to throw games, allegedly and paying you
Speaker 1: to do it. You can't let him. He can't stay
Speaker 1: because he wants to get Joe Burrow. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: why he was doing this. I can't let him have
Speaker 1: his team. Yeah. So the thing I always think is
Speaker 1: interesting about that is, Dan, if that's the case, then
Speaker 1: if what Hugh Jackson saying is accurate, are you getting
Speaker 1: rid of Haslem and Stephen Ross? And if you're one
Speaker 1: of the thirty two owners or thirty one, I guess
Speaker 1: that makes this decision. Are you really comfortable with getting
Speaker 1: rid of two of those? I mean, those guys don't
Speaker 1: want to think that there's anything that can get them
Speaker 1: out of the club. They're in the club. They bought
Speaker 1: in My guests, Dan, and you know more than I do.
Speaker 1: I guess, but I would think it'd be like three
Speaker 1: first round pix and ten million dollars. I think it
Speaker 1: would be the most severe punishment a team and an
Speaker 1: owner has ever gotten. I don't know if they're going
Speaker 1: to kick out two owners of this exclusive club, because
Speaker 1: then the other owners is gonna be like, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: if we can kick out this guy for that and
Speaker 1: that guy for that, they might come come at me
Speaker 1: for something at some point. Well, I think Cleveland is
Speaker 1: different because Hugh Jackson didn't get money, He just got
Speaker 1: his contract extended. Like I think the owner thought, Hey,
Speaker 1: this is a couple of years rebuild, and you're doing
Speaker 1: really well at doing really poorly, and we want to
Speaker 1: keep you in that job. So they didn't say for
Speaker 1: each loss you get one hundred thousand dollars. They're just saying, hey,
Speaker 1: if you keep losing, we're going to continue to extend
Speaker 1: your contract. Now, is that semantics? But the direction is
Speaker 1: not lose games and you get a hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: That's the difference where it gets far more severe with
Speaker 1: Stephen Ross. Yeah, I guess because here's my question. Okay,
Speaker 1: and I tweeted about this this morning at Ross Tucker
Speaker 1: NFL Dan. I'm a Sixers fan. Okay. Now I'm not
Speaker 1: a diehard NBA guy, you know, I'm a football guy.
Speaker 1: But the Sixers essentially lost on purpose for like four
Speaker 1: years in a row. I mean, I think it's it's
Speaker 1: interesting to me that the Browns and the Dolphins are
Speaker 1: under fire when I don't know, I don't follow it
Speaker 1: that close. Again, but don't aren't there several NBA teams
Speaker 1: that essentially lou purpose every year? The Cabs did this
Speaker 1: for Lebron James, you know, the Rockets did this. I
Speaker 1: think for a chem Alie you on, I mean, this
Speaker 1: is this is, this happens that. But why has nobody
Speaker 1: why have they never gotten in trouble? Like, why has
Speaker 1: nobody ever bet ever, nobody ever been an issue? I
Speaker 1: guess no coach said anything. Well, the Sixers called it
Speaker 1: the process. See that's the difference. That that's the difference.
Speaker 1: It's the process. It's on tanking. You can't say tanking.
Speaker 1: Mark Cuban used the word tanking and they got find
Speaker 1: six hundred thousand dollars. It's the process. There we're talking
Speaker 1: to Ross Tucker is Ross Tucker Football podcast is available
Speaker 1: well wherever you can get podcast and social media at
Speaker 1: Ross Tucker NFL. I don't know why Jimbo Fisher isn't
Speaker 1: just embracing the obvious, and that is we got resources
Speaker 1: at Texas A and M and this is a great
Speaker 1: place to play, and we beat Alabama. We're here, we're
Speaker 1: for real. But instead he had this reaction yesterday to
Speaker 1: the reported slush fund that an M has that's somewhere
Speaker 1: between twenty five and thirty million dollars for the recruits.
Speaker 1: There is no thirty million dollar fund. There is no
Speaker 1: five meaning, there is no ten. This is garbage and
Speaker 1: it does. It pisses me off. And here it comes
Speaker 1: from a site called robible by a guy named Slice Bread.
Speaker 1: Then everybody runs with it, so it's written on the
Speaker 1: internet as gospel. How irresponsible is that? And then have
Speaker 1: coaches in our league and across this league to say
Speaker 1: it clown x all right, irresponsible as hell, multiple coaches
Speaker 1: in our league. And the guy's griping about NIO, griping
Speaker 1: about transfer reporter using it the most and bragging about
Speaker 1: it the most. That's the ironic part. You want character,
Speaker 1: I'll test. I'll take it with any of y'all. It's
Speaker 1: a joke. It does piss me off. Okay, you know
Speaker 1: what I would do if I'm him, I would say no, no,
Speaker 1: it's on twenty five or thirty minute. It's fifty million
Speaker 1: we have in a name, image and likeness slush fund.
Speaker 1: There's a whole lot more where that came from. Come
Speaker 1: on down here and play with the aggies. Well, a
Speaker 1: couple of things then number one, what's the line? Methinks
Speaker 1: he doth protest too much? You know, I think he
Speaker 1: went a little far there. Secondly, look, I've been around
Speaker 1: long enough to know remember the year when old miss
Speaker 1: got Laramie Tunsul and Laquon Treadwell. And like I mean,
Speaker 1: when a school that isn't a typically a top five
Speaker 1: recruiting school, and Sam does pretty well usually but not
Speaker 1: top five, not number one in the country, when they
Speaker 1: come out of nowhere to be the number one school,
Speaker 1: there's usually a reason for that. What I think is
Speaker 1: unique or different about this is, as far as I know,
Speaker 1: you're kind of allowed now. I read the rule where
Speaker 1: they say it's not supposed to be an inducement for
Speaker 1: someone to attend a school. It's supposed to just be
Speaker 1: money that they earn from their image and likeness while
Speaker 1: they're actually at the school. But this is what I
Speaker 1: always thought it would turn into and it has. And
Speaker 1: I'm happy for the kids. I'm happy that they're getting
Speaker 1: the money and this is what I always thought it
Speaker 1: would be, which is essentially guaranteeing every kid. Hey, you'll
Speaker 1: get at least one hundred grand a year in name,
Speaker 1: image and likeness. But I'm a backup center. We don't care.
Speaker 1: We need depth one hundred grand year, buddy, you're in. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they made it legal, and this is you know, the
Speaker 1: the NCUBLEA just wanted to make sure that these kids
Speaker 1: weren't getting paid money that was going to be for
Speaker 1: the schools playoffs all of that. Hey, we don't want
Speaker 1: to pay the players, but we'll let you have name,
Speaker 1: image and likeness. And no one thought this through that
Speaker 1: the schools who have money, willing to spend money, and yes,
Speaker 1: it's I'll go there and you're going to pay me
Speaker 1: for name, image and likeness. But how much are you
Speaker 1: going to pay me for name, image and likeness? So
Speaker 1: then it becomes an inducement because nobody there's no salary
Speaker 1: cap that says you can only offer them this. Well, legally,
Speaker 1: I can offer you whatever I want. And so if
Speaker 1: Texas A and M has the money and they're willing
Speaker 1: to spend the money like I wouldn't be apologizing. Then
Speaker 1: I was told three years ago by a personnel director
Speaker 1: at a power of five school that the nil department
Speaker 1: would end up being bigger than the recruiting department at
Speaker 1: these schools sooner rather than later. I mean, this is
Speaker 1: going to be what goes a long way towards determining
Speaker 1: where these kids go. I don't blame them. You know,
Speaker 1: who knows if you'll make the NFL or not. They're
Speaker 1: essentially free agents. The part that gets really interesting is
Speaker 1: that they can all transfer free year. I'll give you
Speaker 1: another one, Dan, I've had multiple coaches tell me that,
Speaker 1: you know why they love the transfer portal. You know
Speaker 1: why they want to get more transfers because you only
Speaker 1: get to do it without penalty. Once you recruit a
Speaker 1: high school kid to come in. He's a perpetual free agent.
Speaker 1: You know, you get you get to transfer one time
Speaker 1: without sitting out at all. That kid can leave whenever
Speaker 1: you get a transfer from somewhere else. He's got to
Speaker 1: make it work. He's got to stay there. Otherwise transfer again,
Speaker 1: unless he's a graduate, he has to sit out a year.
Speaker 1: So they actually feel like there's a chance for more
Speaker 1: loyalty from the kid. That it's a it's a lot.
Speaker 1: The whole thing has changed. It's wild. You played for
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins six games. I believe, so curious your
Speaker 1: old team with the new nickname. You're a Commander. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess I really wanted to be. I would have
Speaker 1: really embraced Ward Hogs or Red Hogs. I wanted something
Speaker 1: to go back to the Hogs. I actually started my
Speaker 1: career there and finished it there, so I have somewhat
Speaker 1: of an affinity for them, not like I do for
Speaker 1: the Bills, where I played the most or whatever. I mean.
Speaker 1: Commanders reminds me of the Cleveland Indians. Changing the name
Speaker 1: of the Guardians. It just seems so it's such an
Speaker 1: xfl type of name to me, the Commanders, it's just
Speaker 1: very generic. I mean, I guess it's fine, Dan, I
Speaker 1: guess it's safe. But let me ask you this. Okay,
Speaker 1: when someone says to my daughters or says to me,
Speaker 1: you know, hey, Ross, what teams did you play for? Cowboys, Bills,
Speaker 1: pay Patriots, Browns for the fifth one? Am I saying Commanders?
Speaker 1: Or am I saying Redskins because I played for the Redskins?
Speaker 1: Or am I not saying that because that is obviously
Speaker 1: offensive to some people? And that name is no longer around.
Speaker 1: I would say Washington, but then that sounds weird. Cowboys, Bills, Patriots, Browns,
Speaker 1: and Washington. I wanted to say I was a wardhog.
Speaker 1: I think that's all. I don't know why they didn't
Speaker 1: go with the warhocks. I'm still bothered by this. I
Speaker 1: know you have a new business venture that you wanted
Speaker 1: to mention here to Oh. I appreciate that, Dan, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's awesome. It's the greatest Valentine's Day gift ever. It's
Speaker 1: called my front page story dot com. Everybody just gets
Speaker 1: flowers or chocolates or a gift card to a spa.
Speaker 1: When they open it, Dan, it literally looks like it's
Speaker 1: on the cover of the newspaper. It's a framed newspaper
Speaker 1: cover story with the picture of your wife, the family.
Speaker 1: She'll be like, what is this way, Honey, my wife,
Speaker 1: anybody's wife, whoever, whoever. You get the story for you.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming you would get it for your wife a
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day. So it's a picture your wife, maybe your kids,
Speaker 1: and your wife's like, Dan, what is this? And you're like, honey,
Speaker 1: I want to do something special and unique. I care
Speaker 1: I had a story written about you. I get way
Speaker 1: too much pub I get way too much attention as
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick the story the cover story should be about you.
Speaker 1: And then when she reads the quotes Dan and by
Speaker 1: the way, I've heard you talk about this, like on
Speaker 1: my buddy Kyle Brandt's podcast, when she reads the quotes
Speaker 1: about I just never tell her enough how much I
Speaker 1: appreciate all little things she does. She will cry, like
Speaker 1: your wife or anybody's wife. Fritzie. Fritzie's probably gonna get
Speaker 1: his wife, you know, a gift card to the Olive
Speaker 1: Garden again, Fritzie. It's twelve years in a row an
Speaker 1: olive garden gift. What's wrong? From story dot com. Well,
Speaker 1: Todd has limericks, and he writes his wife a limerick
Speaker 1: not as good as this maybe, trust me. You know,
Speaker 1: I was just saying to the guys the other day.
Speaker 1: When I think of love, I think of Ron's Tucker
Speaker 1: and nothing else. So I would like to get a
Speaker 1: picture of you, and then I would be able to
Speaker 1: present that to my wife. That would be awesome. I'm sure.
Speaker 1: I'm sure she would love that you got any like
Speaker 1: scannily klaned Um, probably back in college. Does she want
Speaker 1: does she want to see like three hundred ten pounds. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I mean. The only pictures I had with
Speaker 1: my shirt off are like at a keg party in
Speaker 1: the summer when I was in college. I'm actually I
Speaker 1: actually think for three ten I looked all right. I
Speaker 1: was pretty danny, not too bad. But you know, here's
Speaker 1: the thing, Dan, I don't know about your wife. A
Speaker 1: lot of women are not into that. Like when I
Speaker 1: was in college and I would go to a party, Okay,
Speaker 1: you could tell right away. I mean I was three
Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen pounds. Girls either like that or they don't,
Speaker 1: and there's no in between. And you know right away
Speaker 1: most girls are not like blow drying their hair hoping
Speaker 1: to meet up the perfect three or fifteen pound guy
Speaker 1: that night. Okay, it doesn't work that. If you had
Speaker 1: been able to get into Notre Dame, then they might
Speaker 1: have cared. But you went to Princeton. Those those women
Speaker 1: don't care about football at Princeton. So that is a fact,
Speaker 1: Okay that it does not. It doesn't help you to
Speaker 1: be a Princeton football player at Princeton. But I would
Speaker 1: go visit like my buddies at Penn State, and they'd
Speaker 1: be like, are you a football player? And I'd be like,
Speaker 1: you're darn right. I am. I didn't say it wasn't
Speaker 1: at Penn State. I just said you're darn right. And
Speaker 1: it worked every time every time. If I could do it,
Speaker 1: if I could do college over again, I would go
Speaker 1: to one of those. That would be uh, that would
Speaker 1: be Princeton was amazing. I'm glad I had that experience.
Speaker 1: But man, I'll go to Tech, say and M get
Speaker 1: the money and the girls. Thank you. Ross. Good to
Speaker 1: talk to you, Ross Chucker Football Podcast and you can
Speaker 1: find any on social media at Ross Tucker NFL. I
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm ready to see Ross without a
Speaker 1: shirt on, but he's right. Like there's women like really
Speaker 1: tall guys. Some women like that, or beefy guys, bears
Speaker 1: or you know, they like the model, like the sinewy
Speaker 1: type that I my shape, that kind of body like
Speaker 1: Fritzy had. You were Beefcake. You were Beefcake, had a
Speaker 1: little run for a couple of years, but you didn't
Speaker 1: go to college, just wasted lifting. Yeah, I look so
Speaker 1: good in my apartments living with them. The twenty first

Speaker 1: which comes first? A Washington Super Bowl victory? Another name change,
Speaker 1: no offense. Let's see what do we have? Joe and
Speaker 1: El Paso, Texas. Hi, Joe, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 1: DP of five ten, two hundred and seventeen pounds. Listen, DP,
Speaker 1: I just want to do to forward the invitation. Before
Speaker 1: I called in, I got off the phone with a
Speaker 1: buddy of mine and his place is ready to host
Speaker 1: a seaton in the French kid Union drafthouse one hundred
Speaker 1: beers on taps. So after a long drive through the
Speaker 1: state of Texas, if they want to cruise by tonight,
Speaker 1: they're more than welcome and it'll all be taken care of.
Speaker 1: And finally, DP one more thing. I think I'm ready.
Speaker 1: I'm finally going to start to view or to stream
Speaker 1: the entire series of The Wire. I know you and
Speaker 1: the boys are fixing fans. I was wondering if you
Speaker 1: had any viewing tips for me. Thank you for the
Speaker 1: call and DP. You guys are the best in the business.
Speaker 1: Don't you ever forget it? All right? Well, thank you, Joe,
Speaker 1: thank you? Yeah, Paul. Yeah. The Wire everyone Knows was
Speaker 1: the HBO show about the drug trade and the police
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. The first season I remember watching, I found
Speaker 1: myself pretty confused, who was whom? What was going on?
Speaker 1: When I watched it back for a second time, like,
Speaker 1: I get everything now. So it's a bit of a
Speaker 1: It's a fantastic show, it's an all time great but
Speaker 1: it could be a bit confusing the first time you
Speaker 1: watch a wire. Yeah, and you get the feeling when
Speaker 1: you watch the first season of The Wire that you're
Speaker 1: almost watching via closed circuit TV or you're you're you're
Speaker 1: watching on cameras that are installed in apartments in Baltimore.
Speaker 1: I mean, it really brings you in. They do a
Speaker 1: great job with it, great acting in there. Uh Sam
Speaker 1: and Maine joins us Hi Sam, what's on your mind?
Speaker 1: A D six two two twelve long time suffering Dolphin fan.
Speaker 1: I have a massive tattoo to going down my arm
Speaker 1: sporting the team. I just wonder how much integrity Brian
Speaker 1: Foos has based on. He waited two years to file
Speaker 1: this complaint. If you if you really offended you, why
Speaker 1: did he come right out in twenty nineteen to say this.
Speaker 1: I mean he only had a twenty five and twenty
Speaker 1: six record. He was just bring this team to the
Speaker 1: next level. Well, I think that and thanks for the
Speaker 1: phone call, sim. I think he was surprised that he
Speaker 1: was fired. I think most of us in the media thought,
Speaker 1: you know, he had been doing a good job. And
Speaker 1: when you got your head coaching job and you have
Speaker 1: an owner who wanted a different quarterback, wanted you reportedly
Speaker 1: to tank to lose. Does Brian Flores think at the
Speaker 1: time if he says it, he's got a better chance
Speaker 1: of getting another job. I think he thought, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'll continue to coach here and then you know, maybe
Speaker 1: I'll go on to someplace else. I prove that I'm
Speaker 1: successful here, I can get another job and get out
Speaker 1: from underneath this. If you're an African American candidate. How
Speaker 1: many jobs are you going to get? We have one
Speaker 1: African American coach right now in the NFL Final hour.
Speaker 1: Coming up, more phone calls Dan Patrick Show
