Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. We made it to a Friday. It's hour two.
Speaker 1: It's a meat Friday. And in case you're wondering, and
Speaker 1: I know you are, what's on the trigger today smoked
Speaker 1: beef and charizo, chili, beer, cheese, and soft pretzels and
Speaker 1: hot dogs. Who has it better than we do? Paully's
Speaker 1: Birthday week sale goes on and it's spelled w ee k.
Speaker 1: Some people thought w eak, and I say it's not fair.

Speaker 1: percent on and his actual birthdays tomorrow, so mix sure

Speaker 1: radio affiliate's as well as wept in nearly four hundred
Speaker 1: around the nation, around the world for that matter. And
Speaker 1: your phone calls are welcome. H seven seven three d
Speaker 1: P show email address, DPA dan Patrick dot com, Twitter
Speaker 1: handle a DP show Cleveland Browns last night they covered
Speaker 1: in more ways than one. They recovered two cover and
Speaker 1: they also went on the over one of the bad
Speaker 1: beats that you're ever going to see. Nine seconds to go,
Speaker 1: the Steelers try the old Stanford band on the field
Speaker 1: play and Browns end up recovering it in the end zone.
Speaker 1: I believe the over under was forty and a half half.
Speaker 1: That's a bad beat. And I thought first team to
Speaker 1: twenty was going to win. I thought it was going
Speaker 1: to be twenty one seventeen Cleveland. Nick Chubb was great
Speaker 1: again last night, and Amari Cooper looked really good as well.
Speaker 1: We're not sure about Justin Herbert Iffy for the Jags.
Speaker 1: You know, if it was a year ago, you might
Speaker 1: say to Justin Herbert, might just sit this one out.
Speaker 1: These are the new and improved Jags here and no
Speaker 1: word right now in Justin Herbert's status college football. It's
Speaker 1: an interesting weekend. I think this is when you're a
Speaker 1: college football fan, a true fan, then you're going all right,
Speaker 1: Maryland Michigan to his brother, going against Michigan. I'm interested
Speaker 1: wake against Clemson, Florida, Tennessee, Oregon, Washington State, Arkansas, A
Speaker 1: and M is spicy. Imagine if Arkansas beach A and M,
Speaker 1: and then we say goodbye to A and M. Well,
Speaker 1: I give Jimbo more time to go recruiting USC, Oregon State, Ohio,
Speaker 1: State in Wisconsin. So it feels like heavyweights versus the
Speaker 1: light heavies. Here. Ed Reid, Hall of Fame Safety is
Speaker 1: going to join us. Coming up in a little bit.
Speaker 1: We make way for our good buddy. Chris Mannox from
Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated, still trying to get some answers. What's going
Speaker 1: on with the Boston Celtics. All I know is their
Speaker 1: head coach has been suspended for a season. M A.
Speaker 1: Eudoca has been suspended for a season. And it's one
Speaker 1: of those that say, what do we not know in
Speaker 1: this situation? And if it's a year, why do you
Speaker 1: even bring him back after a year? If something happened
Speaker 1: that you're sitting down for a year, why are you
Speaker 1: going to bring him back after a year. Yes, And
Speaker 1: if it's not so bad that you have to fire
Speaker 1: them that you're willing to bring him back, then why
Speaker 1: is he even really suspended at all? This then find
Speaker 1: them or something and let them coach. I don't I
Speaker 1: don't really understand that. Let's bring in Chris Mannox. All right,
Speaker 1: which question do you want to answer? First? There's a
Speaker 1: lot of them there, Dan, and understandably there's a lot
Speaker 1: we still don't know. One of the decision to suspend
Speaker 1: him for one year, I think is the most interesting one,
Speaker 1: as is the language the Celtics used in announcing this suspension.
Speaker 1: They made it clear in that three sentence press release
Speaker 1: that this was as of now not a situation where
Speaker 1: it's a guarantee that emay Udoka is going to come back,
Speaker 1: which tells me, in in pretty blank terms that the
Speaker 1: intention is not to bring emay Yudoka back. Now. After that,
Speaker 1: you know, you get into maybe some of the gray
Speaker 1: area there about does a guy get fired? Does get
Speaker 1: fired per cause if he quits? You know, what are
Speaker 1: we what about the money? I think that's frankly an
Speaker 1: area that we're in with the Celtics and emay Yudoka.
Speaker 1: But it was an interesting decision, an interesting choice of
Speaker 1: language to use in announcing the suspension. Robert Sarver was
Speaker 1: being suspended for a year and find ten million dollars
Speaker 1: if I include Udoka's salary, It's very similar to the
Speaker 1: punishment that an owner. God, yeah, it is. It is
Speaker 1: a very punitive punishment for emay Udoka, which which really
Speaker 1: makes you wonder exactly what was going on behind the
Speaker 1: scenes that the Celtics look, they don't want to push
Speaker 1: out ema Udoka. They didn't want to push him out.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a championship team, you know, going
Speaker 1: that goes into the season as one of the odds
Speaker 1: on favorites to win the title. Of ema Udoka is
Speaker 1: instrumental in all that, was instrumental in what they did
Speaker 1: last year and was going to be counted on to
Speaker 1: do the same things this year. They're just at this moment, Dan,
Speaker 1: there's too many variables that are unaccounted for. I believe
Speaker 1: in for what I've been told in coming to the
Speaker 1: decision on this suspension, one of the things the Celtics
Speaker 1: took into consideration was the fact that this woman was
Speaker 1: a subordinate to Emayudoka. I was told. One of the
Speaker 1: things that was taken into consideration was the fact that,
Speaker 1: according to people in the know, this was a married
Speaker 1: woman that he was involved with. There's still some things
Speaker 1: that are unclear, specifically how the relationship started, how it ended,
Speaker 1: and what exactly triggered the Celtics to investigate in the
Speaker 1: manner that they did and quickly come to this conclusion.
Speaker 1: And this is a team punishment. The league has nothing
Speaker 1: to do with this. The league has nothing to do
Speaker 1: with this. This is strictly something the Celtics are running. Okay,
Speaker 1: if you get the feeling that he's not coming back
Speaker 1: after this, then what did the Celtics do at the
Speaker 1: head coaching position. Well, they're going to make Joe Missoula
Speaker 1: the interim head coach. And look, Joe Missoula is a
Speaker 1: very well respected young guys thirty four years old. His
Speaker 1: head coaching experience effectively amounts to two seasons in Division Two,
Speaker 1: but he's been in the NBA for three years. He
Speaker 1: interviewed and was one of the finalists for the Utah
Speaker 1: Jazz head coaching job last summer, a job that ironically
Speaker 1: went to Eudoka's top assistant, Will Hardy a couple of
Speaker 1: months ago. So there is a sense that Joe Massoula
Speaker 1: is a coach in waiting, and perhaps that's what Brad
Speaker 1: Stevens is looking for in making this decision. He could
Speaker 1: have promoted more experienced guys. He could have said Damon Stodemeyer,
Speaker 1: former player then a head coaching college. You know, as
Speaker 1: been an NBA around the NBA for much longer. Ben Sullivan,
Speaker 1: he was the coach of the Celtics summer League team.
Speaker 1: He's a front of the bench guy as well. One
Speaker 1: of the things that you know, people have talked to
Speaker 1: me about is perhaps Brad Stevens is not just looking
Speaker 1: for a stop gapper this year, but for a head
Speaker 1: coach with a foreseeable future, because frankly, Dan, if Brad
Speaker 1: Stevens was just looking for a stop gap, the choice
Speaker 1: should have been him. Yeah. You know, Brad Stevens is
Speaker 1: only a year removed from concluding an eight year run
Speaker 1: as Celtics coach, a successful run as Celtics coach. He's
Speaker 1: still considered one of the best basketball minds in the NBA.
Speaker 1: He knows the personnel, he knows when it takes to
Speaker 1: coach them. You know, that was my initial thought that
Speaker 1: Brad Stevens would kind of take one for the team
Speaker 1: and come back down to hold dual roles for at
Speaker 1: least one season. But in promoting Joe Missoula, at least
Speaker 1: on an interim basis. It singles to me that perhaps
Speaker 1: they're looking for not just a coach for this season,
Speaker 1: but a coach for years to come. And I know
Speaker 1: you tweeted out that maybe Frank Vogel could join the
Speaker 1: coaching staff. Yeah, Frank Vogel has a long standing relationship
Speaker 1: with Brad Stevens that dates back to brad days in
Speaker 1: college and when Frank was coaching the Indiana Pacers. During
Speaker 1: his time away from the game between jobs Orlando in LA,
Speaker 1: he visited the Celtics, you know, spent some time around
Speaker 1: Brad Stephens. I know they've got a close relationship. If
Speaker 1: you look at that Celtics bench, the one thing it's
Speaker 1: blacking is an established former head coach. There's isn't one
Speaker 1: there right now. Frank Vogel unemployed at the moment, not
Speaker 1: obviously not a candidate for any job, you know, at
Speaker 1: the moment, I would think he will be someone that
Speaker 1: gets some consideration to join that coaching staff. I just
Speaker 1: looked at the odds, the current odds on DraftKings. The
Speaker 1: Celtics are still currently listed as the favorite to win
Speaker 1: the NBA title. Well, they have the talent, But I
Speaker 1: am a believer Dan that the head coach matters, and look,
Speaker 1: ema Udoka proved that last year, didn't he? I mean,
Speaker 1: this team was a disaster for two months. It took
Speaker 1: Imayudoka two months to break players of bad individual habits
Speaker 1: and to implement a brand new switch heavy defense that
Speaker 1: turned them into the best defensive team in the NBA.
Speaker 1: He also was one of the earliest and strongest advocates
Speaker 1: for Marcus Smart's ability to play point guard. So he
Speaker 1: played a key role in all this. And as smart
Speaker 1: as Joe Missoula is, and I've been around Boston a lot,
Speaker 1: I know, I know him. I believe he's a very
Speaker 1: smart guy. It's an incredibly difficult asked or tough ask
Speaker 1: to place this thirty four year old days before the
Speaker 1: startup training camp right onto a team expected to win
Speaker 1: a championship. It's just look Brad Stevens in the Stuffics
Speaker 1: front office. Look, they've they've earned a bit of a
Speaker 1: bet to the doubt. Look, I thought it was insane
Speaker 1: to promote Brad Stevens to Danny Age's job. That worked out.
Speaker 1: Email Udoka, Well, I liked him a lot to be
Speaker 1: the head coach of the team a year ago. He
Speaker 1: was not some home run candidate that was an obvious
Speaker 1: coach that worked out. Maybe they see something and Joe
Speaker 1: Madula that makes them believe he's ready for that job.
Speaker 1: But it is a tall task for a young coach
Speaker 1: to step into this situation and succeeds. Thank you, Chris,
Speaker 1: I know you've got a busy morning. Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 1: You got it. That's Chris Mannix, Sports Illustrating senior NBA writer.
Speaker 1: There's a press conference coming up at eleven o'clock Eastern.
Speaker 1: It is Celtics related. Yeah. Point. The only thing there
Speaker 1: that really knew for me from what Mannix says is
Speaker 1: Mannix knows the Celtics better than anybody is who Emmy
Speaker 1: Adoka was with and the woman who was married. According
Speaker 1: to Mannox, I'm curious to know how much that factors
Speaker 1: into it. Who's the husband, et cetera, et cetera, because
Speaker 1: it feels like there's a whole lot attached to this.
Speaker 1: And if you're Udoka, well maybe you don't resign because
Speaker 1: you want to get paid. I don't know how any
Speaker 1: of that works, but they're going to suspend you for
Speaker 1: a year. Do you want to come back. It is
Speaker 1: a great roster, he's a good coach, But what if
Speaker 1: they're doing well. I just want if it's I it's
Speaker 1: egregious enough to suspend you for a year. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's what I don't understand. And different leagues suspend you know,
Speaker 1: the the duration of those suspendions. Sean Payton got suspended
Speaker 1: a year for bounty Gate. I mean at the time,
Speaker 1: that was unbelievable. And then Robert Sarver all that he
Speaker 1: did one year ten million dollars. Well, I don't know
Speaker 1: what Udoka is making, but let's say he's making six
Speaker 1: million dollars, that's not very far from removed from an
Speaker 1: owner being suspended for a year. Now. Granted, Udoka has
Speaker 1: more of an impact because he's there on the sidelines
Speaker 1: with the team that could win the NBA Championship. But
Speaker 1: I'm just feels like there's going to be a bomb
Speaker 1: show here with this. It's not just hey, just go
Speaker 1: away quietly. Yeah. See, you think that punishment is trying
Speaker 1: to get ahead of things. Yes, yeah, And that's what
Speaker 1: I wondered with Sarver. If you're suspending him and in
Speaker 1: the meantime, we're gonna we're gonna let it be known.
Speaker 1: Behind the scenes, we're working to find a new new owner.
Speaker 1: And I was told that last week. I hinted at that,
Speaker 1: but I had to be careful of the person who
Speaker 1: told me that that it's not over. There's other things
Speaker 1: in play. And I pressed the person who works for
Speaker 1: the Suns and I said, look, what do you mean?
Speaker 1: Said just there's things in play. And I say, does
Speaker 1: this mean Sarver is not going to be the owner?
Speaker 1: And the person said, I think that's the goal. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take a break, and gets phone calls coming up.
Speaker 1: We have Paulie's birthday sale. It's a week long, so
Speaker 1: it's so big. It's a week long sale, and you know,
Speaker 1: I might even extend it into next Yeah, I might,
Speaker 1: but Todd only gets one day on his birthday. But
Speaker 1: it's special because it's the you know, same day month
Speaker 1: in the year as far. Yeah, yeah, that work. How's
Speaker 1: that working? About the Yeah, I don't know, are you
Speaker 1: gonna Are you gonna be mentioning that next next month?
Speaker 1: Probably not. That part of it is not great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but one point that was a very yeah it was.
Speaker 1: And you reminded us same day, same month, same year
Speaker 1: as bread far. Yeah, it doesn't have the same can
Speaker 1: you find somebody else? All the copper doesn't have the
Speaker 1: same copper fit as it once did, the whole ten
Speaker 1: ten sixty nine thing. Yes, I have some other famous
Speaker 1: people born out October tenth. Uh, David Lee Roth. You
Speaker 1: have a Newsome governor, Uh, Mario Lopez. But anybody same day,
Speaker 1: same month, same year you're checking. Gavin Newsom looks like
Speaker 1: he could be in his early fifties, okay, Uh, David
Speaker 1: Lee Roth is quite older, sixties, Yes, time. Mario Lopez,
Speaker 1: he's probably few years. You've heard that somewhere before. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you're not you don't, I mean as far as
Speaker 1: who could possibly be the same day money, No, Mario
Speaker 1: Lopez is not Dylar and Hurt Junior. I think he's like,
Speaker 1: I think he's more in his high forties though. Yeah. Okay,
Speaker 1: got a decent little rundown there, Fritzie. That's not bad
Speaker 1: bo bo bob bob bob bob. Wait. Of all the
Speaker 1: Van Halen songs, that's the one immediately comes to mind
Speaker 1: by far the worth Come on, take a chance with
Speaker 1: me so bad? That song is pretty brutal and my
Speaker 1: rendiscertion make it worse, which I think is a solo
Speaker 1: David Lee Roth song. I wouldn't dare tarnish the name

Speaker 1: couple of phone calls as we wait for the Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer Ed Reid, Jeremy and Texas. Hi Jeremy, what's
Speaker 1: on your mind? Good morning? Dan? This quick question, what
Speaker 1: is one thing that you think Deshaun Watson is going
Speaker 1: to be what he was in the past and he
Speaker 1: comes back. I mean, I've never heard of anybody being
Speaker 1: out for that long, especially a quarterback position, coming back
Speaker 1: and being as dynamic as they were before. What is
Speaker 1: it that gives you that idea that he's going to
Speaker 1: be something special against Well, he was really good for
Speaker 1: a really bad team, and yes, he's been off for
Speaker 1: over a year, but I'm guessing it won't take long
Speaker 1: for him to get back into that all pro form.
Speaker 1: He's got a good offensive line, he's got good running backs,
Speaker 1: he's got a couple of good wide receivers and playmakers
Speaker 1: on defense. I mean, it's all there for the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 1: The question is what's your record going to be when
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson comes back. And if you're let's say, three
Speaker 1: games over five hundred, you're in the mix and in
Speaker 1: the way I would look at it if I'm the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, look at the totality of the season. You know,
Speaker 1: we don't need to impress anybody, you know, during the
Speaker 1: regular season. Get through the regular season, get into the playoffs,
Speaker 1: and then that's where you could surprise some people. John
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania, Hi, John, Hi Dan, Hey, you love you
Speaker 1: a good morning, Thank you Hey watch every night on
Speaker 1: Sports Center. Um. I wanted to talk to wanted to
Speaker 1: talk to Polly though. I wanted to wish him okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to yeah, thank You're welcome, Polly. I
Speaker 1: wanted to give him some advice. I Polly, I know
Speaker 1: we all know how you get a big chubby for foliage,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to recommend I have a place in
Speaker 1: the finger Lakes. And I know you like to go north,
Speaker 1: but come west and check out the finger Lakes. We've
Speaker 1: got wineries, we've got brewpubs, We've got breweries and distilleries.
Speaker 1: October is a great month for foliage and all the
Speaker 1: wineries are always doing harvest. That's harvest time for the
Speaker 1: wine grapes, so they're always doing harvest parties, live music,
Speaker 1: and there's been breakfast all right, you know we got
Speaker 1: we got the lowdown here. You had met breweries. I've
Speaker 1: never been to the Fingerlakes. It's like by Rochester and Syracuse. Yes,
Speaker 1: I didn't hear the words soup stroll. Well that's what
Speaker 1: we're doing tonight. Yeah, but does the Fingerlakes have a
Speaker 1: soup strong? I'm gonna guess they do. But Paulie invited
Speaker 1: me to a soup stroll tonight and I wasn't quite
Speaker 1: sure what it was, but it sounded fun. And I said, well,
Speaker 1: are you going to complicate things by bringing your wife
Speaker 1: and kids? And you didn't give me an answer. That's negotiable. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm technically married to them. Tonight maybe not so much.
Speaker 1: But you're dressed for a nice Vermont super stroll. I am,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I mean I went autumnal today. So what
Speaker 1: happens at superstroll stays at stroopstrally situation right there could
Speaker 1: be could be whatever you said, superstroll superst Tyler in
Speaker 1: South Dakota, Hi Tyler, how are you? Hey? Dan? This
Speaker 1: calls for Polly whoapy. I think that's enough. That's enough
Speaker 1: of that for poor Ed. Yeah, I don't want to
Speaker 1: do that. Uh. Ed Reid hall of Famer joining us
Speaker 1: on behalf of Crown Royal. You've got a partnership there,
Speaker 1: the former Raven, former Defensive Player of the Year. Hey,
Speaker 1: he's also a Hall of Famer. Let's see how the
Speaker 1: beard looks there. Ed joins us. Now, Ed, how you doing?
Speaker 1: Oh good man? How's it going? Do you want to
Speaker 1: hit anybody? Um? No? Did you? But how do you?
Speaker 1: How do you? We had Ross Chucker run played in
Speaker 1: the NFL. He said he missed the violence. You miss violence?
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, somebody's calling my phone. Oh can you
Speaker 1: see me still? Yeah? Yeah, I can show you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you look good. Yeah. So you don't miss the Violene?
Speaker 1: Do I miss the violence? No? I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: see a person unless they locked up in prisons or
Speaker 1: where it's like, you miss violence? Yeah, you know, I
Speaker 1: can't wait to get out. Um, but no, man, I
Speaker 1: do not miss the violence at all. You know. I'm
Speaker 1: actually chief of staff at the Universe in Miami, so
Speaker 1: I'm around it, you know, a good bit. I'm teaching it,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm letting kids know that this is a
Speaker 1: violent sport, you know what I'm saying. So now I
Speaker 1: don't miss it, man, I do miss you know, the
Speaker 1: times of of the preparing for the game and and
Speaker 1: and being with my teammates and having them over to
Speaker 1: my house and watch some film and taking them out
Speaker 1: We're going to get dinner and stuff like that, the
Speaker 1: camaraderie part. But you know, no, I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: really miss the contact and all that like that. You know,
Speaker 1: the position that you played, and how much has changed
Speaker 1: over the years being a free safety, It's changed a
Speaker 1: good bit. Um, it's changed a good bit. Football hasn't changed,
Speaker 1: but the rules and everything has changed some things on
Speaker 1: you know, how you can attack certain things. You know,
Speaker 1: so it's always evolved. You gotta be smart, you know.
Speaker 1: The first thing I tell players about playing football. You
Speaker 1: gotta be a smart player. You know. You gotta be
Speaker 1: able to adapt. Football is life. Life is football in life.
Speaker 1: You gotta adapt. Football is the same thing, you know.
Speaker 1: So you know, I was just talking about this on
Speaker 1: out there so many rule changes made, you know, players
Speaker 1: timid on what they want to do, how they want
Speaker 1: to how they want to play. On the football field,
Speaker 1: you know, but you're trained to be a certain way
Speaker 1: in the off season, you know, so you gotta gotta
Speaker 1: be let it go. But I don't see that out
Speaker 1: there with many players. I see a little timid maybe
Speaker 1: maybe the rules or something to holding them back. You know,
Speaker 1: it's definitely skewed towards the offense because they want to
Speaker 1: produce points. You know, fans like they excitement the points
Speaker 1: and everything. So it don't seem like it works in
Speaker 1: the favor of the defense. It never did. If I
Speaker 1: put your Ravens defense out there, now, how impactful is
Speaker 1: that defense? Very impactful? Very impactful. You know, we we
Speaker 1: wasn't one of those defenses you've seen that was out
Speaker 1: there with ill will just you know, knocking helmets off.
Speaker 1: You know, we hit people hard, but we wasn't doing
Speaker 1: it illegally, you know, like you know, my our robbery team,
Speaker 1: you know what other players over there. You know, they
Speaker 1: had some dirty players, you know, over there, and that's
Speaker 1: how they played the game. You can see how the
Speaker 1: robbery between the Pittsburgh still is and the Cincinnati Bengals
Speaker 1: had picked up on how both of those teams are
Speaker 1: playing the dirtiest game you know, I don't think we've
Speaker 1: seen that type of football since the seventies of the
Speaker 1: early eighties, where teams are really taking shots at each other.
Speaker 1: But who was dirty that you played against? Who were
Speaker 1: you referring to my robbery team? I played for the
Speaker 1: Baltimore Raiders. My robbery team was black and gold. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't have to point out specific players because people
Speaker 1: should know you followed the game, you know. I don't
Speaker 1: have to tell you. Hans War it was at that
Speaker 1: was a rule as a rule, like there's a rule him.
Speaker 1: And I'm not harbored on it, like I don't. I'm
Speaker 1: not bitter about it. It's just it is what it is.
Speaker 1: Like I never even though he was dirty towards me,
Speaker 1: I never went back at him as much as I
Speaker 1: could have. I never did. Um, why did he have
Speaker 1: an out for you? I mean, they was, they were
Speaker 1: they were they Pittsburgh had that old school mentality and
Speaker 1: they still do really in the sense and the simplicity,
Speaker 1: you know, and I love it. Man. It's you know,
Speaker 1: it's by any means necessary, you know, Um, but it
Speaker 1: shouldn't be at the expense of taking a person out,
Speaker 1: you know. But they wanted to win by and it
Speaker 1: means necessary, man, you know, and if that's taking the
Speaker 1: player out and him losing you know, his consciousness or
Speaker 1: you know, maybe even missing the year. They didn't seem
Speaker 1: like they cared. But if you see Hynes ward I've
Speaker 1: told Hanes Warden just to his face, so he already know.
Speaker 1: But we've hashed that out, man, you know, I got
Speaker 1: it out. You know, we talked about it. It is
Speaker 1: what it is. You know, Hans and I shot a
Speaker 1: commercially to get a road in the car together. Man,
Speaker 1: we talked about this, like you know, he noticed, how
Speaker 1: would you game plan for Lamar Jackson? How would I
Speaker 1: game plan for Lamar Jackson? Man? I hope I will
Speaker 1: still be a raven be on the same team. Let's
Speaker 1: say the Dolphins. You're on the Dolphins this weekend. I
Speaker 1: mean the Dolphins already played him, you know, and they
Speaker 1: they game plan was okay. You know, it's hard to
Speaker 1: game plan for Lamar. Let me put you on the
Speaker 1: Patriots since he plays the Patriots this weekend. It's hard,
Speaker 1: man to game plan for a person at that position
Speaker 1: that does the things that he does. You gotta you
Speaker 1: gotta pick your poison. You do you want him to
Speaker 1: run or do you want him to throw the ball?
Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta pick one. Oh, I want him
Speaker 1: to pass. But I think he's a lot better than
Speaker 1: what people have given him credit for. He is. That's
Speaker 1: all I'm saying. You gotta pick your poison. You know,
Speaker 1: he could throw the ball, he could run the ball.
Speaker 1: I'm much rather. I would much rather than have Lamar
Speaker 1: in the pocket than have him running around on this man.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want that because he's shown you that he
Speaker 1: can score from anywhere on the football field when he
Speaker 1: runs that ball, you know, throwing the ball has to
Speaker 1: deal with somebody else, and I can affect that somebody else.
Speaker 1: That's what I do. I'm a secondary guy. See, I
Speaker 1: can affect the receiver that has nothing to do with Lamar,
Speaker 1: you see what I'm saying. So if that, if that
Speaker 1: receiver is not what he's supposed to be, then Lamar
Speaker 1: has to run the ball. You know. So I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be that. I wouldn't. I would. I would definitely try
Speaker 1: to affect the people around the mark versus trying to
Speaker 1: focus on the mark. You know, because he gonna get
Speaker 1: his great players. Get this, who's the quarterback that was
Speaker 1: half a step ahead of you guys. I think quarterback
Speaker 1: that was a half a step of us. None of them.
Speaker 1: So Brady wasn't or Peyton wasn't, none of them. Nope. No,
Speaker 1: how about maybe at challenge maybe at times, maybe at
Speaker 1: times on the play um, you know, maybe we had
Speaker 1: some games with guys on the team were just not
Speaker 1: as good to perform against Patriots or you know, Peyton,
Speaker 1: you know, but they were never really that many steps
Speaker 1: ahead of us like that, you know, such from a
Speaker 1: defensive perspective. We knew what they were gonna do. We
Speaker 1: just might not had the athletes to play against. But Jeff,
Speaker 1: did you have anything memorable? I know you had an
Speaker 1: interaction with Brady? Oh yeah, you guys are cool. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I worked with Brady. I'm I'm with his company, autograph
Speaker 1: with the NFTs and trying to work out where he's
Speaker 1: about to He's about to do a release in the launching,
Speaker 1: you know, and you know that may be there might
Speaker 1: be a chance for some people to hang out with
Speaker 1: Brady and I make you play some golf, do something together,
Speaker 1: you know, I like it. Making peace with everybody. Oh man,
Speaker 1: we've been at peace. Man, I don't. I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't travel off the football field, you know, worrying about
Speaker 1: a player I played it against, feeling ill will bought
Speaker 1: a player, you know, Hanzo was the only guy who
Speaker 1: I true was my nemesis. You know. It was like
Speaker 1: Batman and the Joker, you know what I'm saying. But
Speaker 1: even even even then, once it was over, once the
Speaker 1: game was over, man, you know, it was like it
Speaker 1: was it's a game, Like it's truly a game to me,
Speaker 1: you know. And I'm not taking and carrying none of
Speaker 1: that stuff with me. Man about no player now, man,
Speaker 1: you know, I pray and hope everybody is healthy and
Speaker 1: get what they deserve out of the game. But now
Speaker 1: I'm always fascinated when I talked to guys who played
Speaker 1: a violent sport, like Troy Polamalo. When you hear that voice,
Speaker 1: I'm not scared of Troy Polamalo, But then I see
Speaker 1: him on the football field, and I'm scared of Troy Polamalo.
Speaker 1: Those guys who sound a different way, just like you.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're chill, get on the football field. Now
Speaker 1: you're different. Yeah, it's different, man, It's no different than
Speaker 1: you've been in your domain, right, now you know where
Speaker 1: you're at right now, that's where you're comfortable. That should
Speaker 1: escape from everything. You know, you're a totally different person
Speaker 1: in this, like you know what I'm saying. That's that's
Speaker 1: that's where you're most comfortable, you know. And um, you
Speaker 1: know when you get public and all that, you know,
Speaker 1: you're handing yourself accordingly, you know, you know, I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure it's different. You know for you when you're when
Speaker 1: you're in public, you know, you're probably more chilled and
Speaker 1: are you probably still talking a lot. I'm just like
Speaker 1: I am this one. I'm twenty four seven, just like this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but football is different, man, because because you know, it's
Speaker 1: a it's a true warrior that you have to put
Speaker 1: on a play, especially at the high level that me
Speaker 1: and Troy played on. It's a true warrior that you
Speaker 1: put on and when you go and when when you
Speaker 1: into the stadium, and you know, like it's a totally
Speaker 1: different mentality, you know what I'm saying. And that mentality
Speaker 1: is not for the real world, you know, just walking
Speaker 1: around You imagine me walking in the grocery store and
Speaker 1: hitting somebody, you know, swiping swiping some milk out of
Speaker 1: their hand. That they're picking up and I'm like, no
Speaker 1: dairy product. You would go matumbo on them, you know,
Speaker 1: like defending in the grocery store in the parking lot
Speaker 1: of stuff. Man o, Man, I'll just dude like that
Speaker 1: all the time. We're talking to Ed Reid. He's partnering

Speaker 1: It'll be Sunday night, Niners battling Russell Wilson Junior the
Speaker 1: Third and the Broncos Sunday at seven Eastern on NBC
Speaker 1: and Peacock. Marvin is kind enough to give Fritzie four points.
Speaker 1: I changed that you did. I don't want to stress
Speaker 1: myself out over points, straight up. I don't even play
Speaker 1: those games. I'll give you points straight up. Well wait,
Speaker 1: it's it's to Fritzie's benefit to get points, isn't it. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know if Marvin can retract that without Fritzie.
Speaker 1: Fritzie accepting. Yeah, I was under the impression that the
Speaker 1: Niners would have to win by at least four, Yeah,
Speaker 1: which you would think they should be able to do.
Speaker 1: He could be able to He was under that impression,
Speaker 1: because that's exactly what Marvin said on national radio. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm still game, but the Niners would have to win
Speaker 1: by four points or we can just do a different
Speaker 1: bet another time. We're just fine. The Niners are favored,
Speaker 1: aren't they? Yeah? One and a half? Yeah, so so
Speaker 1: why doesn't Marvin just give you one and a half
Speaker 1: because he three gave another a couple of points on it,
Speaker 1: gave me another two and a half, And since I
Speaker 1: don't feel that great about that, you gonna stick with
Speaker 1: the original beat. Sorry, you'd do Okay, you Niners got
Speaker 1: to win by at least four. I mean I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't change the rules of something. We don't have
Speaker 1: rules to change. Okay, don't look so sad. What's wrong? Points? Nah?
Speaker 1: Straight up? But you know what. I took it, so
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to take I feel like both of
Speaker 1: these dudes should get pies in the right now they're
Speaker 1: handling that. I don't even understand what's going on. All right,
Speaker 1: we got a new poll question, Paul. Okay, if you
Speaker 1: could start your team with any defense of any either
Speaker 1: of these two defensive backs. You could have them for
Speaker 1: a long, healthy career. Ed Reid or Dion Sanders m
Speaker 1: And of course there's no wrong answer, But which one
Speaker 1: would you pick? I'll go first. I love me some
Speaker 1: Ed Reid. I know Deon Sanders the return game that
Speaker 1: really sets him apart. I thought Ed Reid was a
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame tackler when he got the ball on interceptions,
Speaker 1: he returned him. But John, I'm going Ed Red two,
Speaker 1: all right, Seaton Man, I'm trying to not go recency
Speaker 1: bias with Ed Reid, but it's tough to not saydon So,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna goon Sanders, Marvin, I'm gonna go Ed Reid. Okay, um.
Speaker 1: Ed got a lot of inner receptions, I mean a
Speaker 1: whole lot at sixty four, but they didn't throw Dion's way.
Speaker 1: Dion took away one half the field, took away the
Speaker 1: best receiver. Ed was a center fielder and as good,
Speaker 1: if not the best center fielder of all time. Plus
Speaker 1: he made you pay when he returned. I think Ed's underrated,
Speaker 1: if that's possible to be that great. Because we don't
Speaker 1: normally talk about free safeties. You talk about corners a
Speaker 1: lot shut down, corner, lockdown, corner. Ed Reid. Boy, that
Speaker 1: comfort level of knowing you had Ed Reid behind you,
Speaker 1: because Dion might have been to the side of you.
Speaker 1: If you're a defensive player, if you're playing defense for
Speaker 1: the Ravens, Ed Reid was behind you to clean up messes. Yeah. See,
Speaker 1: it's interesting too because both of their personalities seemed to
Speaker 1: be completely different, you know, like Ed Reid is more
Speaker 1: like a lunch pail kind of guy, like I'm just
Speaker 1: coming in doing my job, you know, destroying a bunch
Speaker 1: of dudes and going home, whereas Dion came with all
Speaker 1: this primetime flash and sizzle, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Ronnie Lott another great free safety, maybe maybe considered by
Speaker 1: the public the greatest of all time. He had sixty
Speaker 1: three interceptions, led league and picks twice six time all pros.
Speaker 1: He's right up there at read. I think Reid's right
Speaker 1: up there with Ronnie Lot. I think you're right historical
Speaker 1: perception because because Ronnie Lott that that was a difference
Speaker 1: maker when he tackled you. Um, I'm sure Ed, you know,
Speaker 1: was a great tackler. Ronnie Lott hurt you. He left
Speaker 1: a lasting imprint on you, So I would m that'd
Speaker 1: be interesting. Uh. Is Ronnie Lot the greatest safety free
Speaker 1: safety of all time? I'm sure we're missing people, but
Speaker 1: he's right there right final hour coming up, Ben Simmons.
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons talks and he talks about what happened in
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and he's got some big plans for the nets
Speaker 1: if all goes well. Have that for you coming up.
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones wants a quarterback controversy. I don't think he's
Speaker 1: going to get one, but he's hoping for one. Two
