H seven seven three d 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:09.479 P show email address, DPA dan Patrick dot com, Twitter 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:14.480 handle a DP show Cleveland Browns last night they covered 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:19.800 in more ways than one. They recovered two cover and 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:22.760 they also went on the over one of the bad 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.480 beats that you're ever going to see. Nine seconds to go, 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:29.120 the Steelers try the old Stanford band on the field 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:33.520 play and Browns end up recovering it in the end zone. 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.440 I believe the over under was forty and a half half. 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:41.760 That's a bad beat. And I thought first team to 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:43.480 twenty was going to win. I thought it was going 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:47.160 to be twenty one seventeen Cleveland. Nick Chubb was great 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:50.600 again last night, and Amari Cooper looked really good as well. 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.520 We're not sure about Justin Herbert Iffy for the Jags. 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:56.520 You know, if it was a year ago, you might 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:58.760 say to Justin Herbert, might just sit this one out. 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:01.920 These are the new and improved Jags here and no 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:05.960 word right now in Justin Herbert's status college football. It's 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:09.239 an interesting weekend. I think this is when you're a 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:12.720 college football fan, a true fan, then you're going all right, 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:17.680 Maryland Michigan to his brother, going against Michigan. I'm interested 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:23.919 wake against Clemson, Florida, Tennessee, Oregon, Washington State, Arkansas, A 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.760 and M is spicy. Imagine if Arkansas beach A and M, 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.240 and then we say goodbye to A and M. Well, 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:34.040 I give Jimbo more time to go recruiting USC, Oregon State, Ohio, 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:37.799 State in Wisconsin. So it feels like heavyweights versus the 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.799 light heavies. Here. Ed Reid, Hall of Fame Safety is 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:42.520 going to join us. Coming up in a little bit. 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.240 We make way for our good buddy. Chris Mannox from 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:48.720 Sports Illustrated, still trying to get some answers. What's going 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.640 on with the Boston Celtics. All I know is their 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.239 head coach has been suspended for a season. M A. 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.880 Eudoca has been suspended for a season. And it's one 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:02.480 of those that say, what do we not know in 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:06.519 this situation? And if it's a year, why do you 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.840 even bring him back after a year? If something happened 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.359 that you're sitting down for a year, why are you 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.079 going to bring him back after a year. Yes, And 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.200 if it's not so bad that you have to fire 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.120 them that you're willing to bring him back, then why 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:21.480 is he even really suspended at all? This then find 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:23.079 them or something and let them coach. I don't I 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.920 don't really understand that. Let's bring in Chris Mannox. All right, 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:30.079 which question do you want to answer? First? There's a 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:34.800 lot of them there, Dan, and understandably there's a lot 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:40.040 we still don't know. One of the decision to suspend 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:43.560 him for one year, I think is the most interesting one, 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:48.440 as is the language the Celtics used in announcing this suspension. 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:52.600 They made it clear in that three sentence press release 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:57.680 that this was as of now not a situation where 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:03.160 it's a guarantee that emay Udoka is going to come back, 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:09.800 which tells me, in in pretty blank terms that the 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:13.480 intention is not to bring emay Yudoka back. Now. After that, 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.400 you know, you get into maybe some of the gray 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:20.720 area there about does a guy get fired? Does get 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:22.880 fired per cause if he quits? You know, what are 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:26.120 we what about the money? I think that's frankly an 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:29.600 area that we're in with the Celtics and emay Yudoka. 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:33.720 But it was an interesting decision, an interesting choice of 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:38.120 language to use in announcing the suspension. Robert Sarver was 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:41.080 being suspended for a year and find ten million dollars 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:46.360 if I include Udoka's salary, It's very similar to the 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:51.760 punishment that an owner. God, yeah, it is. It is 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:58.200 a very punitive punishment for emay Udoka, which which really 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:02.480 makes you wonder exactly what was going on behind the 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:07.200 scenes that the Celtics look, they don't want to push 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.840 out ema Udoka. They didn't want to push him out. 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:13.440 I mean, this is a championship team, you know, going 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.520 that goes into the season as one of the odds 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:20.240 on favorites to win the title. Of ema Udoka is 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:24.520 instrumental in all that, was instrumental in what they did 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:26.720 last year and was going to be counted on to 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:31.120 do the same things this year. They're just at this moment, Dan, 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:36.400 there's too many variables that are unaccounted for. I believe 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:40.280 in for what I've been told in coming to the 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:44.080 decision on this suspension, one of the things the Celtics 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:48.920 took into consideration was the fact that this woman was 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:53.000 a subordinate to Emayudoka. I was told. One of the 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:56.480 things that was taken into consideration was the fact that, 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.800 according to people in the know, this was a married 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:08.000 woman that he was involved with. There's still some things 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:13.599 that are unclear, specifically how the relationship started, how it ended, 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:19.480 and what exactly triggered the Celtics to investigate in the 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.720 manner that they did and quickly come to this conclusion. 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:25.840 And this is a team punishment. The league has nothing 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.960 to do with this. The league has nothing to do 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:35.640 with this. This is strictly something the Celtics are running. Okay, 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:38.800 if you get the feeling that he's not coming back 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:42.520 after this, then what did the Celtics do at the 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:48.200 head coaching position. Well, they're going to make Joe Missoula 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:53.280 the interim head coach. And look, Joe Missoula is a 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:59.200 very well respected young guys thirty four years old. His 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:03.920 head coaching experience effectively amounts to two seasons in Division Two, 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:07.040 but he's been in the NBA for three years. He 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:10.880 interviewed and was one of the finalists for the Utah 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:14.680 Jazz head coaching job last summer, a job that ironically 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:18.520 went to Eudoka's top assistant, Will Hardy a couple of 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:22.680 months ago. So there is a sense that Joe Massoula 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:26.960 is a coach in waiting, and perhaps that's what Brad 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:32.440 Stevens is looking for in making this decision. He could 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:36.720 have promoted more experienced guys. He could have said Damon Stodemeyer, 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:42.160 former player then a head coaching college. You know, as 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:45.800 been an NBA around the NBA for much longer. Ben Sullivan, 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:48.080 he was the coach of the Celtics summer League team. 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:51.040 He's a front of the bench guy as well. One 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:53.680 of the things that you know, people have talked to 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:57.000 me about is perhaps Brad Stevens is not just looking 0:07:57.120 --> 0:08:00.920 for a stop gapper this year, but for a head 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:05.120 coach with a foreseeable future, because frankly, Dan, if Brad 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:08.320 Stevens was just looking for a stop gap, the choice 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:10.840 should have been him. Yeah. You know, Brad Stevens is 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.080 only a year removed from concluding an eight year run 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:18.400 as Celtics coach, a successful run as Celtics coach. He's 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:22.520 still considered one of the best basketball minds in the NBA. 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.120 He knows the personnel, he knows when it takes to 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:27.800 coach them. You know, that was my initial thought that 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:30.840 Brad Stevens would kind of take one for the team 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.320 and come back down to hold dual roles for at 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:37.360 least one season. But in promoting Joe Missoula, at least 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:42.600 on an interim basis. It singles to me that perhaps 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:45.520 they're looking for not just a coach for this season, 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:47.959 but a coach for years to come. And I know 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:51.839 you tweeted out that maybe Frank Vogel could join the 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:57.880 coaching staff. Yeah, Frank Vogel has a long standing relationship 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:01.040 with Brad Stevens that dates back to brad days in 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:05.520 college and when Frank was coaching the Indiana Pacers. During 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.800 his time away from the game between jobs Orlando in LA, 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:12.800 he visited the Celtics, you know, spent some time around 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:16.600 Brad Stephens. I know they've got a close relationship. If 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.559 you look at that Celtics bench, the one thing it's 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:23.560 blacking is an established former head coach. There's isn't one 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:27.959 there right now. Frank Vogel unemployed at the moment, not 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:30.760 obviously not a candidate for any job, you know, at 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:35.000 the moment, I would think he will be someone that 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.920 gets some consideration to join that coaching staff. I just 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:42.760 looked at the odds, the current odds on DraftKings. The 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:46.120 Celtics are still currently listed as the favorite to win 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:53.280 the NBA title. Well, they have the talent, But I 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:58.600 am a believer Dan that the head coach matters, and look, 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.840 ema Udoka proved that last year, didn't he? I mean, 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:06.480 this team was a disaster for two months. It took 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:11.480 Imayudoka two months to break players of bad individual habits 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:16.599 and to implement a brand new switch heavy defense that 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:21.480 turned them into the best defensive team in the NBA. 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:25.720 He also was one of the earliest and strongest advocates 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:30.599 for Marcus Smart's ability to play point guard. So he 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:34.240 played a key role in all this. And as smart 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:37.440 as Joe Missoula is, and I've been around Boston a lot, 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.600 I know, I know him. I believe he's a very 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:45.559 smart guy. It's an incredibly difficult asked or tough ask 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:49.120 to place this thirty four year old days before the 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.600 startup training camp right onto a team expected to win 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:56.959 a championship. It's just look Brad Stevens in the Stuffics 0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.640 front office. Look, they've they've earned a bit of a 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:01.880 bet to the doubt. Look, I thought it was insane 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:05.480 to promote Brad Stevens to Danny Age's job. That worked out. 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.040 Email Udoka, Well, I liked him a lot to be 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:09.800 the head coach of the team a year ago. He 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.520 was not some home run candidate that was an obvious 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.679 coach that worked out. Maybe they see something and Joe 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:19.040 Madula that makes them believe he's ready for that job. 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:22.480 But it is a tall task for a young coach 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:26.160 to step into this situation and succeeds. Thank you, Chris, 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:28.280 I know you've got a busy morning. Thanks for joining us. 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:32.880 You got it. That's Chris Mannix, Sports Illustrating senior NBA writer. 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.360 There's a press conference coming up at eleven o'clock Eastern. 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:41.240 It is Celtics related. Yeah. Point. The only thing there 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:43.719 that really knew for me from what Mannix says is 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:48.320 Mannix knows the Celtics better than anybody is who Emmy 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.720 Adoka was with and the woman who was married. According 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:54.720 to Mannox, I'm curious to know how much that factors 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.800 into it. Who's the husband, et cetera, et cetera, because 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.199 it feels like there's a whole lot attached to this. 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:07.920 And if you're Udoka, well maybe you don't resign because 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:09.719 you want to get paid. I don't know how any 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:13.599 of that works, but they're going to suspend you for 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.800 a year. Do you want to come back. It is 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:21.360 a great roster, he's a good coach, But what if 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:26.400 they're doing well. I just want if it's I it's 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:31.679 egregious enough to suspend you for a year. I mean, 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:35.760 that's what I don't understand. And different leagues suspend you know, 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:39.040 the the duration of those suspendions. Sean Payton got suspended 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:44.360 a year for bounty Gate. I mean at the time, 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:48.839 that was unbelievable. And then Robert Sarver all that he 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:54.199 did one year ten million dollars. Well, I don't know 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.760 what Udoka is making, but let's say he's making six 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.920 million dollars, that's not very far from removed from an 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:06.640 owner being suspended for a year. Now. Granted, Udoka has 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:08.880 more of an impact because he's there on the sidelines 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:11.000 with the team that could win the NBA Championship. But 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:15.200 I'm just feels like there's going to be a bomb 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:18.920 show here with this. It's not just hey, just go 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:22.040 away quietly. Yeah. See, you think that punishment is trying 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:26.240 to get ahead of things. Yes, yeah, And that's what 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:31.400 I wondered with Sarver. If you're suspending him and in 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:34.840 the meantime, we're gonna we're gonna let it be known. 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.880 Behind the scenes, we're working to find a new new owner. 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:41.839 And I was told that last week. I hinted at that, 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:43.520 but I had to be careful of the person who 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:46.960 told me that that it's not over. There's other things 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.719 in play. And I pressed the person who works for 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:52.240 the Suns and I said, look, what do you mean? 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:56.760 Said just there's things in play. And I say, does 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.600 this mean Sarver is not going to be the owner? 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:04.200 And the person said, I think that's the goal. All right, 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.679 let's take a break, and gets phone calls coming up. 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:10.839 We have Paulie's birthday sale. It's a week long, so 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:14.760 it's so big. It's a week long sale, and you know, 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:17.880 I might even extend it into next Yeah, I might, 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:22.280 but Todd only gets one day on his birthday. But 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:24.400 it's special because it's the you know, same day month 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:28.280 in the year as far. Yeah, yeah, that work. How's 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:29.840 that working? About the Yeah, I don't know, are you 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:33.200 gonna Are you gonna be mentioning that next next month? 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:35.440 Probably not. That part of it is not great. Yeah, 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:37.320 but one point that was a very yeah it was. 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.880 And you reminded us same day, same month, same year 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:42.760 as bread far.

Yes, I have some other famous 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:56.200 people born out October tenth. Uh, David Lee Roth. You 0:14:56.280 --> 0:15:00.920 have a Newsome governor, Uh, Mario Lopez.

A lot Mercedespen's family of SUVs, a 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:13.280 family of unrivaled vehicles waiting at your local dealer. A 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:15.240 couple of phone calls as we wait for the Hall 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:19.280 of Famer Ed Reid, Jeremy and Texas. Hi Jeremy, what's 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:25.960 on your mind? Good morning? Dan? This quick question, what 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:28.760 is one thing that you think Deshaun Watson is going 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:30.560 to be what he was in the past and he 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:32.960 comes back. I mean, I've never heard of anybody being 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:36.160 out for that long, especially a quarterback position, coming back 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:40.040 and being as dynamic as they were before. What is 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:42.119 it that gives you that idea that he's going to 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:45.920 be something special against Well, he was really good for 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:49.359 a really bad team, and yes, he's been off for 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:53.440 over a year, but I'm guessing it won't take long 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:57.040 for him to get back into that all pro form. 0:17:57.400 --> 0:17:59.879 He's got a good offensive line, he's got good running backs, 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.679 he's got a couple of good wide receivers and playmakers 0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:05.600 on defense. I mean, it's all there for the Cleveland Browns. 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:08.320 The question is what's your record going to be when 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:12.440 Deshaun Watson comes back. And if you're let's say, three 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:17.119 games over five hundred, you're in the mix and in 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:19.119 the way I would look at it if I'm the 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:22.680 Cleveland Browns, look at the totality of the season. You know, 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:25.520 we don't need to impress anybody, you know, during the 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:28.760 regular season. Get through the regular season, get into the playoffs, 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:32.320 and then that's where you could surprise some people. John 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:37.560 in Pennsylvania, Hi, John, Hi Dan, Hey, you love you 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:40.879 a good morning, Thank you Hey watch every night on 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:44.879 Sports Center. Um. I wanted to talk to wanted to 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:48.520 talk to Polly though. I wanted to wish him okay, yeah, 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:52.119 and I wanted to yeah, thank You're welcome, Polly. I 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:54.440 wanted to give him some advice. I Polly, I know 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:57.760 we all know how you get a big chubby for foliage, 0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:01.159 and I wanted to recommend I have a place in 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:04.960 the finger Lakes. And I know you like to go north, 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:08.600 but come west and check out the finger Lakes. We've 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:12.600 got wineries, we've got brewpubs, We've got breweries and distilleries. 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:17.399 October is a great month for foliage and all the 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:21.520 wineries are always doing harvest. That's harvest time for the 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:25.280 wine grapes, so they're always doing harvest parties, live music, 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:29.840 and there's been breakfast all right, you know we got 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:32.080 we got the lowdown here. You had met breweries. I've 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:34.879 never been to the Fingerlakes. It's like by Rochester and Syracuse. Yes, 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:38.560 I didn't hear the words soup stroll. Well that's what 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:41.040 we're doing tonight. Yeah, but does the Fingerlakes have a 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:44.320 soup strong? I'm gonna guess they do. But Paulie invited 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:47.960 me to a soup stroll tonight and I wasn't quite 0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:51.040 sure what it was, but it sounded fun. And I said, well, 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:53.720 are you going to complicate things by bringing your wife 0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:57.280 and kids? And you didn't give me an answer. That's negotiable. Okay, 0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:00.760 I'm technically married to them. Tonight maybe not so much. 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:03.160 But you're dressed for a nice Vermont super stroll. I am, 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:07.399 oh yeah, I mean I went autumnal today. So what 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:12.120 happens at superstroll stays at stroopstrally situation right there could 0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:18.520 be could be whatever you said, superstroll superst Tyler in 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:24.159 South Dakota, Hi Tyler, how are you? Hey? Dan? This 0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:34.080 calls for Polly whoapy. I think that's enough. That's enough 0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:38.720 of that for poor Ed. Yeah, I don't want to 0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:42.359 do that. Uh. Ed Reid hall of Famer joining us 0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:46.800 on behalf of Crown Royal. You've got a partnership there, 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:49.680 the former Raven, former Defensive Player of the Year. Hey, 0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:52.320 he's also a Hall of Famer. Let's see how the 0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:57.800 beard looks there. Ed joins us. Now, Ed, how you doing? 0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:00.960 Oh good man? How's it going?

He said he missed the violence. You miss violence? 0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:22.119 Oh no, no, somebody's calling my phone. Oh can you 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:24.280 see me still? Yeah? Yeah, I can show you.

I don't 0:21:31.000 --> 0:21:34.879 see a person unless they locked up in prisons or 0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:39.399 where it's like, you miss violence? Yeah, you know, I 0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:43.440 can't wait to get out. Um, but no, man, I 0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:46.120 do not miss the violence at all. You know. I'm 0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:48.680 actually chief of staff at the Universe in Miami, so 0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:51.520 I'm around it, you know, a good bit. I'm teaching it, 0:21:52.280 --> 0:21:54.080 you know, I'm letting kids know that this is a 0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:57.240 violent sport, you know what I'm saying. So now I 0:21:57.280 --> 0:22:00.280 don't miss it, man, I do miss you know, the 0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:04.440 times of of the preparing for the game and and 0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:08.080 and being with my teammates and having them over to 0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:10.680 my house and watch some film and taking them out 0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:13.200 We're going to get dinner and stuff like that, the 0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:17.359 camaraderie part. But you know, no, I don't. I don't 0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:20.399 really miss the contact and all that like that. You know, 0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:25.960 the position that you played, and how much has changed 0:22:26.080 --> 0:22:31.240 over the years being a free safety, It's changed a 0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:35.000 good bit. Um, it's changed a good bit. Football hasn't changed, 0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:37.920 but the rules and everything has changed some things on 0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:41.359 you know, how you can attack certain things. You know, 0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:44.760 so it's always evolved. You gotta be smart, you know. 0:22:44.960 --> 0:22:47.720 The first thing I tell players about playing football. You 0:22:47.800 --> 0:22:50.080 gotta be a smart player. You know. You gotta be 0:22:50.160 --> 0:22:54.080 able to adapt. Football is life. Life is football in life. 0:22:54.080 --> 0:22:56.879 You gotta adapt. Football is the same thing, you know. 0:22:57.080 --> 0:22:59.760 So you know, I was just talking about this on 0:23:00.000 --> 0:23:03.080 out there so many rule changes made, you know, players 0:23:03.200 --> 0:23:05.360 timid on what they want to do, how they want 0:23:05.400 --> 0:23:07.720 to how they want to play. On the football field, 0:23:08.480 --> 0:23:11.800 you know, but you're trained to be a certain way 0:23:11.840 --> 0:23:14.520 in the off season, you know, so you gotta gotta 0:23:14.560 --> 0:23:17.440 be let it go. But I don't see that out 0:23:17.480 --> 0:23:19.879 there with many players. I see a little timid maybe 0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:23.720 maybe the rules or something to holding them back. You know, 0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:27.000 it's definitely skewed towards the offense because they want to 0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:30.399 produce points. You know, fans like they excitement the points 0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:33.760 and everything. So it don't seem like it works in 0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:37.840 the favor of the defense. It never did. If I 0:23:37.960 --> 0:23:42.920 put your Ravens defense out there, now, how impactful is 0:23:43.000 --> 0:23:49.359 that defense? Very impactful? Very impactful. You know, we we 0:23:49.720 --> 0:23:53.680 wasn't one of those defenses you've seen that was out 0:23:53.720 --> 0:23:57.680 there with ill will just you know, knocking helmets off. 0:23:58.280 --> 0:24:00.640 You know, we hit people hard, but we wasn't doing 0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:05.480 it illegally, you know, like you know, my our robbery team, 0:24:05.920 --> 0:24:08.560 you know what other players over there. You know, they 0:24:08.600 --> 0:24:12.400 had some dirty players, you know, over there, and that's 0:24:12.440 --> 0:24:15.440 how they played the game. You can see how the 0:24:16.080 --> 0:24:22.560 robbery between the Pittsburgh still is and the Cincinnati Bengals 0:24:22.600 --> 0:24:24.800 had picked up on how both of those teams are 0:24:24.880 --> 0:24:27.840 playing the dirtiest game you know, I don't think we've 0:24:27.880 --> 0:24:33.000 seen that type of football since the seventies of the 0:24:33.080 --> 0:24:36.280 early eighties, where teams are really taking shots at each other. 0:24:36.359 --> 0:24:39.719 But who was dirty that you played against? Who were 0:24:39.800 --> 0:24:43.359 you referring to my robbery team? I played for the 0:24:43.440 --> 0:24:47.280
