0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio Final Hour, and this Thursday, guess who I

0:00:06.720 --> 0:00:09.840
<v Speaker 1>just saw? I went out into the back garage of

0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:12.200
<v Speaker 1>the man cave. We have a huge man cave here,

0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:16.480
<v Speaker 1>about seventeen thousand square feet and we have the basketball court,

0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:20.239
<v Speaker 1>I have, you know, the AstroTurf, the football field out there,

0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:22.880
<v Speaker 1>the weights, we got the golf simulation, we got everything.

0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 1>And then there's a storage garage out back and I

0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:30.200
<v Speaker 1>go out there. Do you guys want to guess who

0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 1>I just ran into? Been a integral part of the show,

0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:40.559
<v Speaker 1>done some amazing things for the show. Any guess is

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:44.280
<v Speaker 1>who is back in the very back of the man

0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 1>cave there, Paulie, A very short list based on that

0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:50.559
<v Speaker 1>that is true. Is Reggie Miller out there? We're doing

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:52.920
<v Speaker 1>some bicycle where and Reggie Miller is not. That's a

0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 1>good guess, but no, Reggie is not. Yes, seton, I'm

0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:59.520
<v Speaker 1>assuming this is someone not known to the audience. They are.

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:03.720
<v Speaker 1>That person is known to the audience. They are they

0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:08.800
<v Speaker 1>should be. Let's put it that way, h they should know.

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 1>This person's name. Ritzy Fritzie doesn't leave his death. I

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 1>was gonna say, is the French kid back in town. No,

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:25.600
<v Speaker 1>that guy French kid. Nope, McLevin, Rob Demowsky, the Packers report. No, no, no,

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:32.360
<v Speaker 1>that's that's that's that's a stupid Dan Bickley, the Arizona Republic. No,

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:34.360
<v Speaker 1>not what to be doing Inford. But you never know

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 1>any other guesses? Was this person on rollerblades? No? H say,

0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe it's a former host of the box Score, Casey Armstrong. Yeah, no, no,

0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 1>not Casey. This that's actually not his name. I called

0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>him Casey arms Didn't Howard Stern have a guy named

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Casey Armstrong? Yeah, his producer Casey Yeah. And then I don't.

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>I just called Casey Garrity he worked on the box

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Score and Casey Armstrong. For some reason, this person goes

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:14.440
<v Speaker 1>by you know them by by just one name. Man,

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 1>I can really use some music here or something. Fill

0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 1>in the gaps. Four letters first nick, No, uh, first

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 1>letter A still nothing still nothing, really important. Person with

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 1>the new man cave really important? Oh I know, oh yeah,

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe perhaps they were working on a painting. Yeah. Yeah,

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.400
<v Speaker 1>I like how PAULI acted like he knew after a

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Seaton said he knew, You're like, oh, oh so competitive? No, no, no,

0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 1>I did know, but it's sad that you had to

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 1>give me eighteen hints today. RC, who did all of

0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:00.280
<v Speaker 1>the artwork in the man Cave and all of that

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:03.359
<v Speaker 1>beautiful artwork out there that he did for it took

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 1>him eleven days to paint everything that you see in

0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 1>the field House. But he was there touching up some

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 1>of those paintings that he did at the Super Bowl.

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Dwyane Wade, Don Shula, and Dan Marino. We had to

0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.679
<v Speaker 1>bring those back and they got scratched. A couple of

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 1>them got scratched. And RC was kind enough to He

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:23.920
<v Speaker 1>does a lot of work for Disney, and he doesn't

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:25.960
<v Speaker 1>live too far from here. And I walked out there

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden, I smell that paint and

0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:29.960
<v Speaker 1>it brought me back to when we're trying to get

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 1>this man Cave up and running. And I said, you

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.800
<v Speaker 1>got eleven days to do all of this artwork here.

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 1>And he would be here till like two or three

0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 1>in the morning. He'd wait till everybody left, he'd get

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 1>here at four, stayed one or two in the morning,

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.440
<v Speaker 1>text me, send me a picture of what he had painted,

0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 1>and then he'd come back the next day. And so

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.560
<v Speaker 1>I got a chance to see him. But Aarcy RC

0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:56.360
<v Speaker 1>is the street artist that Seaton found for us. He

0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 1>asked Polly, He's fantastic with a spray paint can. Sometimes

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 1>when I'm i and I'll see an overpass with a

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:03.480
<v Speaker 1>graffiti on it, I wish there was some type of

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 1>like glossary or something underneath it to explain what it is,

0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 1>because I don't understand a lot of it. Yeah, he

0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.600
<v Speaker 1>touched up these pieces of art. We also had the

0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Kobe one that we sent out to Los Angeles Mamba Academy,

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 1>and then we also had Michael Irvin and we sent

0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.479
<v Speaker 1>that to Michael Irvin. But Arcy does some great work.

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.040
<v Speaker 1>It was great to see him and the stuff that

0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.479
<v Speaker 1>he did out there in the man Cave. It was

0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 1>It's breathtaking to see what he did in his span

0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.000
<v Speaker 1>of eleven days. It could have been three months and

0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:37.200
<v Speaker 1>it still would have been. He's our Michael Angelo with

0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 1>what he was able to accomplish, you know, this being

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:44.039
<v Speaker 1>the Sistine Chapel of man caves. Here, he's Mike Angelo.

0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Mike Oh, McLevin. I didn't even know what our poll

0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 1>question was today, by the way, I just it just

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 1>dawned on me that I had no idea. We gave

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 1>the listeners a choice. You could either have the big

0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:01.200
<v Speaker 1>five conferences break off and do a sixty team thing,

0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.719
<v Speaker 1>or have a final eight. U seventy eight percent said

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.159
<v Speaker 1>final eight. And Todd came up with something in the

0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:10.160
<v Speaker 1>morning meeting, which is rare but it was interesting, and

0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:12.520
<v Speaker 1>he said, you could come up with how did you

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:16.240
<v Speaker 1>come up with? You can what would your NFL name

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:20.200
<v Speaker 1>be if you wanted to because of Shaw Ferguson's thirty

0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 1>seventh birthday. Okay, so I figured we'd have some fun

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 1>off of that from the Key and Peel bit and

0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.120
<v Speaker 1>come up with your cool first and last name if

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:28.680
<v Speaker 1>you knew you were going to become an NFL player. Okay,

0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Because Peel came in and he's not a sports fan,

0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 1>and he says to Key, we got a brother named

0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Brickishaw Ferguson, and and then that spawned the football names

0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:45.320
<v Speaker 1>you know during the highlights and the end zone celebration,

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 1>what is it, Mccringleberry, lem don't forget about Tyrol Smoochy Wallace,

0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:57.039
<v Speaker 1>but never forget. That's how that came up is Jordan

0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Peele came in after seeing the jets and he's like

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 1>this brother's bricker shaw ferguson the bricker shaw. Yeah. See,

0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:10.359
<v Speaker 1>the audience has suggested that my last name should be

0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 1>on the bench, Seaton on the bench, the bench like

0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 1>it on the bench, because I came up with if

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:24.359
<v Speaker 1>I could have a name, mine would be f king fast,

0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 1>So my last name would be fast Fast. That would

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:38.960
<v Speaker 1>be my NFL name at wide Receiver, f king fast Fast. Yes,

0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:43.200
<v Speaker 1>PAULI that that's that's uh, what was it? Didn't Sadler

0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 1>have that type of bit or something like that when

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:48.280
<v Speaker 1>he was first on SNL The Sofa King. Oh I

0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.760
<v Speaker 1>don't remember that. Oh yeah, like it was it's a

0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 1>furniture store. I think it's Sadler's first ever bit. And

0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:58.240
<v Speaker 1>and uh it's like so Sopa king. But if you

0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:01.720
<v Speaker 1>say it the wrong way, and that was the entire bit,

0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.680
<v Speaker 1>it's like sweaty balls. It's basically one thing, all right.

0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Age seven seven three D P show email address TP

0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:10.920
<v Speaker 1>of Dan Patrick, Michael bou Blay. We'll join us on

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 1>the program tomorrow. The King of Christmas. I don't know

0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:18.400
<v Speaker 1>if he's the King of Christmas. That's fine, but Michael

0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.960
<v Speaker 1>bou Blay, Todd reached out after we talked about Michael

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 1>bou Blay a week ago. Now, are we allowed to

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:28.240
<v Speaker 1>ask him to sing? That hasn't been established? I think

0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>it's better too. Maybe we put him on the spot

0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.000
<v Speaker 1>as supposed to asking him that if they say he'd

0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.560
<v Speaker 1>rather not. And from past experience, I think the best

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.800
<v Speaker 1>chance of getting him to sing is just to ask him.

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Unless he's hearing this right now and I've just screwed

0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:40.960
<v Speaker 1>up the whole thing. You know what I'm thinking? Yeah,

0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:45.040
<v Speaker 1>because I'd rather beg for forgiveness than ask for permission.

0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:50.360
<v Speaker 1>He seems like the kind of guy who doesn't want

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.960
<v Speaker 1>to let his fans down, including the Dan Patrick Show.

0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.240
<v Speaker 1>So if you asked him, I think that's our best

0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:56.760
<v Speaker 1>chance of him sing, even if it's just a quick

0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 1>line or two from one of the Christmas No, this

0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:02.520
<v Speaker 1>is what I do. I have you. I'll be like Michael, listen,

0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:05.480
<v Speaker 1>listen to Todd and tell me what you think of

0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:09.520
<v Speaker 1>him singing one of your songs. Okay, we could do that, yeah,

0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:11.720
<v Speaker 1>and then he might say, oh, yeah, I wasn't bad.

0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Well you say, oh yeah, then let's hear you yeah,

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:18.440
<v Speaker 1>or oh well, why don't you sing it? How? You

0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.840
<v Speaker 1>know it should be sung like that. Maybe we get

0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Michael Buble face son afraid the plans that we made walking,

0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:30.120
<v Speaker 1>thank you, thanks for coming out tonight. Is he in

0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.040
<v Speaker 1>competition with Mariah Carey because she's the queen of Chris Well.

0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:34.600
<v Speaker 1>That could be the king and Queen together. I don't

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:36.679
<v Speaker 1>have the pride queen of the prom I don't know.

0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Tonight shot them halls all swinging. Tonight,

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Sean McVeigh and the Rams take on Bill Belichick and

0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:50.559
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots, and the Rams are five point favorites. McVeigh

0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:54.199
<v Speaker 1>will become the sixth different head coach who was previously

0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 1>coached in the Super Bowl to face the Patriots this season.

0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:02.280
<v Speaker 1>And that's the most that it ties the most, I

0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:06.240
<v Speaker 1>believe with Belichick in his career, he faced six coaches

0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.360
<v Speaker 1>who had been head coaches who had coached in the

0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl back in twenty eleven. But kind of interesting

0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:15.600
<v Speaker 1>also he is Belichick has he's I don't know if

0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 1>he's had wins, but I know that he's coached in

0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:25.480
<v Speaker 1>fifty different stadiums in his career, and maybe maybe it's wins.

0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Let me see if I have this right. Sundays went

0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:31.640
<v Speaker 1>over the Chargers. Gave Belichick wins as a head coach

0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:36.880
<v Speaker 1>in fifty different stadiums regular season and postseason, most by

0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:40.720
<v Speaker 1>any coach in the Super Bowl era. Well, I'm going

0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:43.440
<v Speaker 1>to guess it's most all time because you didn't have

0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.840
<v Speaker 1>that many stadiums that would change. You know, you build

0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:49.920
<v Speaker 1>a stadium back then, and chances are it stayed as

0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:55.680
<v Speaker 1>a stadium. Like if we built Wriggley twenty years ago,

0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.800
<v Speaker 1>it's Wrigley, do we go back and go, you know,

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:01.720
<v Speaker 1>I think we need to tear it down and build

0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:05.720
<v Speaker 1>something different. Or if we built Fenway thirty years ago,

0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:08.600
<v Speaker 1>do we say, like, at what point do you say,

0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:13.439
<v Speaker 1>now that's ugly or now that's a historical landmark here.

0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.040
<v Speaker 1>But if you start to think about what we do

0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:20.520
<v Speaker 1>with stadiums, it's thirty years. That's about all you get

0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:22.959
<v Speaker 1>and then it's time to build a new one. Yeah,

0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.679
<v Speaker 1>MC club. Do you think any of the stadiums he

0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:29.160
<v Speaker 1>coached in in ninety two ninety three are still there

0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:34.120
<v Speaker 1>when he was with the Browns? You know the field

0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:39.640
<v Speaker 1>in Chicago, I told your field. Yeah, I don't know

0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:44.480
<v Speaker 1>how many. Oh, Lambeau obviously, but I don't think he

0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 1>was in those places. But okay, thirty years ago, if

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 1>we built Lambeau, would we still have Lambeau? Doesn't it

0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:55.960
<v Speaker 1>feel like we'd be like, oh man, it's so outdated,

0:10:56.840 --> 0:11:00.760
<v Speaker 1>and it is, but there's so much charm to it. Yeah,

0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:02.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm a club to me. The one that they ripped

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.760
<v Speaker 1>down the Georgia Dome, which was a kind of a

0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:08.520
<v Speaker 1>new stadium for another Georgia Dome. That that one seemed

0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:12.439
<v Speaker 1>really fast in Atlanta. Yes, boy, Well, your stadium has

0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:15.040
<v Speaker 1>to either have history or be so awesome that it's

0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:18.280
<v Speaker 1>not tear downable, like Camden Yards in Baltimore, I think is.

0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:21.200
<v Speaker 1>I think it is probably almost thirty years old, which

0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.480
<v Speaker 1>is old for our culture, but it's so cool still

0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:26.679
<v Speaker 1>that they hit a home run with it, no pun

0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:28.240
<v Speaker 1>they hit a home run with it, so it's in

0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:32.680
<v Speaker 1>no danger. I think Camden kind of reinvented the stadium

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 1>right when when you think about what Camden did and

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.319
<v Speaker 1>it still holds up, I mean it's it's you got

0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:42.200
<v Speaker 1>the short home run fences, you got the warehouse where

0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:45.200
<v Speaker 1>it's located down on the water. They really did a

0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:49.800
<v Speaker 1>wonderful job there. But that was nineteen ninety two when

0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Camden opened up, and I wonder, I mean, we're we're

0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:59.120
<v Speaker 1>holding on to Camden and hopefully they do. But you know,

0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:02.360
<v Speaker 1>you start to wonder, what is the life expectancy of

0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:05.400
<v Speaker 1>some of these stadiums now and would we have already

0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:12.400
<v Speaker 1>demolished Lambeau Soldier Field. They refurbish that if you want

0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:15.079
<v Speaker 1>to call it that. Yeah, mcclub I love when you

0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:18.199
<v Speaker 1>tell stories about like Three Rivers and Veteran Stadium. Were

0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.080
<v Speaker 1>they as bad as you paint them out to be?

0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:23.679
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes from the eighties, those stadiums sounded terrible. Well, they

0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:26.080
<v Speaker 1>were sterile and they look like if you looked at

0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:30.160
<v Speaker 1>them from above, it looked like an ashtray. And Cincinnati

0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:34.199
<v Speaker 1>Riverfront Stadium they created this, and then of course Pittsburgh

0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:37.880
<v Speaker 1>and Philadelphia, wanting to be like Cincinnati, decided to do

0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the same exact stadium. And I went, you gotta be

0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:46.040
<v Speaker 1>kidding me. Like Pittsburgh Stadium now downtown. I love it,

0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, I love the view. I love going in there.

0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:53.120
<v Speaker 1>That has personality. A lot of these stadiums. You were like,

0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:57.360
<v Speaker 1>what are you thinking, Like, there's no real personality with

0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:00.040
<v Speaker 1>how you built this stadium. Yes, Todd, they field to

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:01.760
<v Speaker 1>me was one of those. Not that shaf Stadium was

0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:03.400
<v Speaker 1>so amazing, but what they did to it now it

0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:05.840
<v Speaker 1>looks very much like a minor league park. There's billboards

0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.960
<v Speaker 1>and signage everywhere, and there's just nothing special about City Field.

0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:10.760
<v Speaker 1>You would think they'd be making an upgrade, which I

0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:12.640
<v Speaker 1>don't think they did. I just don't know why you

0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:16.079
<v Speaker 1>don't take advantage of some of the views and and

0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.040
<v Speaker 1>I know a lot of that has to do with

0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:20.400
<v Speaker 1>wins and you know, if you're going to have home

0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:23.480
<v Speaker 1>runs and what's you know, what are the currents going

0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:27.320
<v Speaker 1>through there? But like the Mets should have taken advantage

0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.000
<v Speaker 1>of the skyline. That's why I wish they would have

0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:33.000
<v Speaker 1>had a stadium on the West Side Highway in New

0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.920
<v Speaker 1>York and just take an advantage of you know, the

0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.439
<v Speaker 1>vistas there and be able to walk to a stadium.

0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean I drove by City Field recently and like,

0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I have no interest in going at all, And you know,

0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:51.720
<v Speaker 1>you start to think of stadiums arenas, you know, like

0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Cameron Indoor. I could never it's it's so small, But

0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I could never imagine that they would go, you know, what,

0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:01.240
<v Speaker 1>we need to upgrade this, but probably come that day

0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:05.360
<v Speaker 1>when you go into Notre Dame and you see that

0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:08.360
<v Speaker 1>basketball arena and you go, oh, this isn't big at all.

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:11.840
<v Speaker 1>But the charm that you have with some of these

0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:17.280
<v Speaker 1>but the other ones sterile, very sterile environment. The last

0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:20.080
<v Speaker 1>time Jared Goff and the Patriots got together, that was

0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:24.440
<v Speaker 1>a long night for Jared Goff. The Patriots beat them

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:27.640
<v Speaker 1>in Super Bowl fifty three. It's thirteen three and even

0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:30.080
<v Speaker 1>though the game was in twenty nineteen, that feels like

0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:33.320
<v Speaker 1>a lifetime ago that those two teams meant. And Belichick

0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:36.040
<v Speaker 1>has the ability to torture a young quarterback. He's just

0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:41.400
<v Speaker 1>he's very good at that. But you know, Sean McVay said, look,

0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:45.920
<v Speaker 1>I basically got humbled in there with Belichick, and I

0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:49.000
<v Speaker 1>think he, you know, would be the first to admit,

0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, you get out coached like you're trying to

0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:54.920
<v Speaker 1>prepare so much. And Belichick is basically he has that

0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:57.760
<v Speaker 1>blueprint that's like, no, this is what I'm gonna do here.

0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:00.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna waiver what we're gonna do. We're gonna

0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:02.640
<v Speaker 1>force him to do. We're gonna take this going away.

0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:06.320
<v Speaker 1>And it sounds like everybody knows what the Patriots game

0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:09.840
<v Speaker 1>plan is, well, they're gonna neutralize Aaron Donald, make Jared

0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Goff throw the ball, and take away Cooper Cup. Okay,

0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:19.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean sounds simple. Not always that easy, but the Patriots,

0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:22.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's six and five right now, kind of dangerous.

0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:25.520
<v Speaker 1>They can't afford another loss. And Sean McVeigh has plenty

0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:28.560
<v Speaker 1>of time to scheme up something against Belichick. And this

0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:32.920
<v Speaker 1>is you know, when others play checkers, Belichick's usually playing chess.

0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:36.080
<v Speaker 1>And this is on Sean McVeigh to not be predictable.

0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:39.120
<v Speaker 1>And I know that, you know, you've had faces, the

0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:41.800
<v Speaker 1>names that have changed, you know, since the last time

0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:44.080
<v Speaker 1>they played in the Super Bowl. But you know, this

0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.120
<v Speaker 1>is really a big I think there's a big deal,

0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:49.680
<v Speaker 1>big moment for Sean McVeigh because the NFL caught up

0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:52.040
<v Speaker 1>to him a little bit because he was the quarterback

0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:54.320
<v Speaker 1>whisper and we thought, oh my gosh. You know, Sean

0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:59.400
<v Speaker 1>McVeagh is reinventing the NFL. And you know, Bill Belichick

0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:05.000
<v Speaker 1>reinvents the NFL every year, somehow, some way, Belichick does

0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:09.400
<v Speaker 1>something and he reinvents the NFL. Nobody else does. But

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Sean McVeigh has had his moments there this is a

0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:16.680
<v Speaker 1>really good team and a team that leads with their defense.

0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:20.200
<v Speaker 1>What are they going to do? What did they take

0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:24.040
<v Speaker 1>away from the New England Patriots, Because that would be

0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:26.480
<v Speaker 1>the approach that I would have, is We're going to

0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:29.400
<v Speaker 1>take away things from them as well, and then we're

0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:31.320
<v Speaker 1>going to hope that we have home field advantage and

0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:33.200
<v Speaker 1>we have more talent. We're going to win this game. Yes,

0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:35.840
<v Speaker 1>we love him. Can I ask a question about my

0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:40.280
<v Speaker 1>fantasy football team because you love that so much? Yeah,

0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:44.080
<v Speaker 1>I have Goff auto roster and I'm terrified that Belichick

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.760
<v Speaker 1>is going to belichick him. Do you I mean, is

0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:49.240
<v Speaker 1>there any chance that Jared Goff's throws three touchdowns? It

0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:54.600
<v Speaker 1>seems like Belichick Scott's number. I would, as I've said

0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.040
<v Speaker 1>before many many times on this program, I'd never bet

0:16:57.040 --> 0:17:00.360
<v Speaker 1>against Belichick. I've just learned my lesson. I'd ever bet

0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:04.959
<v Speaker 1>against him. But you know this is on Sean McVay

0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:08.800
<v Speaker 1>to create something. I looked at the numbers here with

0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:13.320
<v Speaker 1>a Jared Goff inside the pocket, his quarterback rating is

0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:16.560
<v Speaker 1>ninety outside the pocket, it's one to fifteen. If I'm

0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Sean McVay, can I create some plays like that with

0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:24.359
<v Speaker 1>Jared Goff if he's more comfortable outside the pocket. Let

0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:28.119
<v Speaker 1>me see what else um Oh Seton came up with

0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:32.199
<v Speaker 1>a good idea to I'm wondering, can we get Michael

0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Boublay to sing stat of the Day? I think that's

0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:39.080
<v Speaker 1>an awesome idea and would do that. Yes, I think

0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:40.520
<v Speaker 1>that the cod guy that would do it. Okay, this

0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:43.120
<v Speaker 1>is what I'll do. I'll get We'll get the Will

0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Ferrell ron Burgundy one, Melissa Everage, Melissa A three Darius Rucker.

0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:49.680
<v Speaker 1>If he sees that others day and he can get

0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:51.720
<v Speaker 1>an idea from them, I think it made me be

0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:55.320
<v Speaker 1>even more likely to participant. That's Michael Boublay on the

0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:59.600
<v Speaker 1>program tomorrow. Yeah, see right. I don't want to outdo

0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:01.560
<v Speaker 1>ron Burgundy because it might be sort of in the

0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:04.920
<v Speaker 1>same theme. But maybe maybe Michael bou Blake could give

0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:09.640
<v Speaker 1>us a Christmas swinging version stat the tremendous idea. I

0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:12.040
<v Speaker 1>totally think he would do it, all right, stat of

0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:16.400

0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:45.879
<v Speaker 1>Pearlov's the only one who hadn't tried to do a

0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:47.919
<v Speaker 1>Michael Bouf blay line so far this week. He just

0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:50.120
<v Speaker 1>tap it out. I don't think i've ever heard mclovin

0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:53.320
<v Speaker 1>sing you don't want to Dan. It's terrible, and even

0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:56.240
<v Speaker 1>something that it seems easy like that, I will just butcher.

0:18:56.359 --> 0:19:00.400
<v Speaker 1>But all you have to do is do something like that.

0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:04.320
<v Speaker 1>That so it is, Yes, mclemen. I was asked the

0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:08.440

0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:41.879
<v Speaker 1>a song form. What about the rams? What about the

0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:48.440
<v Speaker 1>didn't you guys release an album back in the nineties.

0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:10.520
<v Speaker 1>my spear. You don't want to hear. We're ducking MVPs.

0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Who do you got in the lead? Right now? Dan

0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:20.960
<v Speaker 1>take it away against the grain, against the grain. It's

0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:25.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of funny how uncomfortable Andrew is right now. He's

0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:36.840
<v Speaker 1>ena throws and he throws a path usually intercepted. It's

0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:41.280
<v Speaker 1>never complete. And we will take a break here. How

0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:43.640
<v Speaker 1>good is our How good a sport is Michael bou bleat?

0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:45.879
<v Speaker 1>Because I know he's getting if he's not hearing this now,

0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:48.840
<v Speaker 1>someone is sending we haven't heard him yet. No, but

0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:51.600
<v Speaker 1>he's supposedly very self deprecating. The fact that he's coming

0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:53.960
<v Speaker 1>on after these little pokes and jebs we're going says

0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:56.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot about his character. I think I'm gonna guess

0:20:56.720 --> 0:20:59.840
<v Speaker 1>he's doing quite well. I think he's doing okay, right.

0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:02.800

<v Speaker 1>to his list of where he would be welcoming a

0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:56.280
<v Speaker 1>trade to the Miami Heat and the Milwaukee Bucks. I

0:22:56.359 --> 0:22:58.960
<v Speaker 1>guess that beef with the Greek Freak and James Harden

0:22:59.119 --> 0:23:05.440
<v Speaker 1>is over. But according to Sham Sharania of Yahoo's Sports Also,

0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:08.280
<v Speaker 1>I was wondering about this with Belichick, that's fifty stadiums

0:23:08.560 --> 0:23:10.879
<v Speaker 1>regular season, postseason that he's had to win in in

0:23:11.000 --> 0:23:15.399
<v Speaker 1>his career. Here are the NFL stadium still around from

0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:18.080
<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety one. That was Belichick's first year as head

0:23:18.119 --> 0:23:23.639
<v Speaker 1>coach with Cleveland Bill's Stadium, which Ralph Wilson Stadium formerly

0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:27.639
<v Speaker 1>Rich Stadium, Hard Rocks Stadium formerly Joe Robbie and Pro

0:23:27.760 --> 0:23:33.879
<v Speaker 1>Player Stadium, Arrowhead, Lambo Soldier Field, and the Superdome Sunday Night,

0:23:34.000 --> 0:23:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers head to Buffalo to face

0:23:36.600 --> 0:23:39.200
<v Speaker 1>a Bill's team pushing for its first Division title in

0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:42.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty five years. Sunday Night seven Eastern only on NBC.

0:23:43.560 --> 0:23:46.239
<v Speaker 1>He is the voice of Sunday Night Football, and all

0:23:46.280 --> 0:23:47.840
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, I gotta call him a Hall of

0:23:47.920 --> 0:23:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Famer now. Recipient of the twenty twenty one Ford Frick

0:23:50.960 --> 0:23:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Award for Baseball Broadcasting, Al Michaels, look at you, congratulations.

0:23:57.280 --> 0:24:01.359
<v Speaker 1>Ye are not winning anything. You're a fricking Hall of

0:24:01.440 --> 0:24:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Famer now I can say that, Al. You know, it's

0:24:05.280 --> 0:24:07.920
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty amazing because I haven't done a baseball game

0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:11.480
<v Speaker 1>in twenty five years except Costas and I did a

0:24:11.560 --> 0:24:14.399
<v Speaker 1>one off in San Francisco for MLB Network back in

0:24:14.440 --> 0:24:17.680
<v Speaker 1>I think twenty eleven or twelve. So you know, I

0:24:17.800 --> 0:24:20.719
<v Speaker 1>loved baseball. I built my career around it. I did

0:24:20.760 --> 0:24:24.080
<v Speaker 1>it between nineteen sixty eight, when I started in the

0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:28.760
<v Speaker 1>miners in Hawaii and through nineteen ninety five. And you know,

0:24:28.840 --> 0:24:30.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't have any regrets in my career. Me and

0:24:30.720 --> 0:24:32.840
<v Speaker 1>I've had a heck of a run here and been

0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:34.960
<v Speaker 1>in a lot of fantastic places at the right time.

0:24:35.880 --> 0:24:38.040
<v Speaker 1>But if there's one small regret it said. It was

0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:40.960
<v Speaker 1>never at the network that had the rights to baseball

0:24:41.520 --> 0:24:44.399
<v Speaker 1>after nineteen ninety five. I loved doing It's been a

0:24:44.480 --> 0:24:48.120
<v Speaker 1>long time, had a lot of you know, good fortune,

0:24:48.760 --> 0:24:51.359
<v Speaker 1>Cincinnati Reds when you're you know, you're up there in

0:24:51.480 --> 0:24:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Dayton and listening to me as as a kid doing

0:24:54.320 --> 0:24:57.520
<v Speaker 1>the Reds, the Big Red Machine seventy one through seventy three,

0:24:57.560 --> 0:24:59.600
<v Speaker 1>then the Giants and Monday Night Baseball and all of

0:24:59.640 --> 0:25:03.320
<v Speaker 1>the rest. It was great. I loved it. And then

0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:06.480
<v Speaker 1>to have this happened to me, it was fantastic. And

0:25:06.640 --> 0:25:11.040
<v Speaker 1>the announcement on MLB Network yesterday, and then our great

0:25:11.040 --> 0:25:13.760
<v Speaker 1>and good friend mister Costas came on and we did

0:25:13.800 --> 0:25:15.120
<v Speaker 1>a little two way and had a lot of fun.

0:25:15.160 --> 0:25:19.520
<v Speaker 1>He's already playing the itinerary for Cooperstown in July. You know, Bob,

0:25:20.040 --> 0:25:22.080
<v Speaker 1>we won't be eating anything that has gluten in it.

0:25:22.200 --> 0:25:23.639
<v Speaker 1>For apart from that, it should be a hit for

0:25:23.640 --> 0:25:26.159
<v Speaker 1>a weekend. If I said at age twenty two, you

0:25:26.240 --> 0:25:29.520
<v Speaker 1>got to choose one sport to broadcast, what would you

0:25:29.560 --> 0:25:34.239
<v Speaker 1>have chosen? Baseball? No question. You know, when I got

0:25:34.280 --> 0:25:36.600
<v Speaker 1>out of Arizona State and had I had gotten there

0:25:36.640 --> 0:25:39.800
<v Speaker 1>specifically because the radio and TV program was so good.

0:25:39.880 --> 0:25:44.480
<v Speaker 1>I got to announce baseball, football, basketball. But the football

0:25:44.520 --> 0:25:49.040
<v Speaker 1>team had Charlie Taylor, Curly Culp coached by Frank Coash.

0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:52.280
<v Speaker 1>The basketball team I jumped at Joe Caldwell, and the

0:25:52.400 --> 0:25:56.439
<v Speaker 1>baseball team had sal Bando, Rick Monday, and then Reggie

0:25:56.560 --> 0:26:00.240
<v Speaker 1>Jackson came along. So I loved baseball. I got my

0:26:00.320 --> 0:26:02.879
<v Speaker 1>job in Hawaii because I brought a tape to the

0:26:02.960 --> 0:26:04.520
<v Speaker 1>man who was running the team, a man by the

0:26:04.600 --> 0:26:06.040
<v Speaker 1>name of a Jack Quinn. I only wish he was

0:26:06.080 --> 0:26:08.560
<v Speaker 1>still alive to see this. He gave me the first

0:26:08.600 --> 0:26:11.680
<v Speaker 1>break and so I have an audition tape in which

0:26:11.760 --> 0:26:15.520
<v Speaker 1>sal Bando is in the game. Reggie Jackson is a freshman.

0:26:15.560 --> 0:26:17.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about him coming up the next year. Because

0:26:17.880 --> 0:26:21.360
<v Speaker 1>freshman were not Elizrael. You got Rick Monday. And that's

0:26:21.400 --> 0:26:23.840
<v Speaker 1>how I wound up getting the Hawaii job. And that

0:26:24.000 --> 0:26:27.040
<v Speaker 1>was the trampoline and off we win. So I look

0:26:27.080 --> 0:26:30.280
<v Speaker 1>back and I can't believe it's been that long. It's

0:26:30.320 --> 0:26:33.320
<v Speaker 1>a long long time ago. And I had a little

0:26:33.359 --> 0:26:36.520
<v Speaker 1>email exchange with Johnny Bench today, So you know, a

0:26:36.600 --> 0:26:39.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of memories are flowing back right now. And there's

0:26:39.920 --> 0:26:43.760
<v Speaker 1>a certain cadence though, well, you could tell us better

0:26:44.000 --> 0:26:45.720
<v Speaker 1>than I can try to describe it. But you know,

0:26:45.800 --> 0:26:48.920
<v Speaker 1>you've done everything. But if you're looking for that, you

0:26:49.000 --> 0:26:52.320
<v Speaker 1>get into a rhythm. The sport that's the hardest to

0:26:52.359 --> 0:26:54.440
<v Speaker 1>get into a rhythm and the easiest to get into

0:26:54.480 --> 0:26:59.640
<v Speaker 1>a rhythm. I think baseball is the most satisfying, especially

0:26:59.720 --> 0:27:03.240
<v Speaker 1>on radio, because of its rhythm. If you look at

0:27:03.320 --> 0:27:07.360
<v Speaker 1>football especially, you know on television football you've got four

0:27:07.440 --> 0:27:10.240
<v Speaker 1>seconds of action and then if they run the clock out,

0:27:10.320 --> 0:27:13.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, like thirty five seconds of inaction, and normally

0:27:13.920 --> 0:27:17.960
<v Speaker 1>that's where the analyst comes in and does the replays.

0:27:18.119 --> 0:27:19.440
<v Speaker 1>There are a lot of things, as you know in

0:27:19.480 --> 0:27:23.520
<v Speaker 1>a football telecash, a lot of traffic that you have

0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:26.920
<v Speaker 1>to handle. So it's it's difficult in that sense to

0:27:27.000 --> 0:27:31.240
<v Speaker 1>really get into the stories. Basketball and hockey are continuous,

0:27:31.800 --> 0:27:35.560
<v Speaker 1>so that's very difficult as well. Baseball is different. It's

0:27:35.600 --> 0:27:37.680
<v Speaker 1>a stop and a start, and it gives you a

0:27:37.760 --> 0:27:40.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of leeway and a lot of freedom to talk

0:27:40.200 --> 0:27:42.440
<v Speaker 1>about a lot of different things. And you know, these

0:27:42.520 --> 0:27:44.399
<v Speaker 1>days the games are going over three hours, so you

0:27:44.480 --> 0:27:47.440
<v Speaker 1>have plenty of time. It's played every day, so I

0:27:47.520 --> 0:27:51.480
<v Speaker 1>would say for me, baseball is always the easiest because

0:27:51.520 --> 0:27:55.680
<v Speaker 1>of that, Hockey is the hardest, no question about it.

0:27:55.720 --> 0:27:58.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the great Mike Emrick retiring this year and

0:27:59.160 --> 0:28:03.480
<v Speaker 1>nobody did better. I mean, he was fantastic to be

0:28:03.560 --> 0:28:06.200
<v Speaker 1>able to do what he did. And you know, Mike

0:28:06.320 --> 0:28:08.760
<v Speaker 1>started on a radio as well. And I think a

0:28:08.800 --> 0:28:12.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of the great announcers, you know, the guys who

0:28:12.480 --> 0:28:15.920
<v Speaker 1>have reached the pinnacle, got their start in radio. You

0:28:16.080 --> 0:28:18.240
<v Speaker 1>learned to paint pictures. And I see a lot of

0:28:18.280 --> 0:28:19.879
<v Speaker 1>the young kids are coming up right now, they're going

0:28:19.960 --> 0:28:21.879
<v Speaker 1>right to television. So I don't know what's going to

0:28:21.920 --> 0:28:23.680
<v Speaker 1>happen in the future, but I do know that those

0:28:23.760 --> 0:28:26.600
<v Speaker 1>of us who you know, Marv Albert and Mike Emrick

0:28:26.680 --> 0:28:30.280
<v Speaker 1>and the guys who have come up through the years,

0:28:30.760 --> 0:28:32.480
<v Speaker 1>we all got our start in radio, and I think

0:28:32.520 --> 0:28:35.920
<v Speaker 1>that was tremendously beneficial. What was your first professional game

0:28:36.000 --> 0:28:41.440
<v Speaker 1>like as a broadcaster, Well, it was I guess minor

0:28:41.560 --> 0:28:45.400
<v Speaker 1>league baseball in Hawaii in nineteen sixty eight. I guess

0:28:45.440 --> 0:28:48.040
<v Speaker 1>that would count as at the beginning. I went over

0:28:48.120 --> 0:28:52.760
<v Speaker 1>there and we're playing the Eugene Emeralds. I think Larry

0:28:52.880 --> 0:28:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Boa was playing in that game, and Greg Muzinski and

0:28:56.440 --> 0:29:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Joel Lists and people like that. I was very nervous,

0:29:01.160 --> 0:29:03.120
<v Speaker 1>but you know, I had grown up in Brooklyn and

0:29:03.200 --> 0:29:06.040
<v Speaker 1>then our family had moved to Los Angeles, ironically the

0:29:06.080 --> 0:29:08.120
<v Speaker 1>same year the Dodgers came to LA. So I never

0:29:08.200 --> 0:29:10.680
<v Speaker 1>missed a beat. And I've been listening to Vince Skulet

0:29:10.800 --> 0:29:12.880
<v Speaker 1>since I was six years old. And by the way,

0:29:12.920 --> 0:29:14.760
<v Speaker 1>one of the great calls I got yesterday on the

0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:18.200
<v Speaker 1>on the Answering Machinity, it's Vinnie congratulating me, you know,

0:29:18.360 --> 0:29:21.440
<v Speaker 1>joining the club. And then we had a conversation last night.

0:29:21.520 --> 0:29:24.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, when I think of you, you know, you

0:29:25.080 --> 0:29:28.320
<v Speaker 1>need a mentor. And in a way, Vinnie was my

0:29:28.520 --> 0:29:31.880
<v Speaker 1>mentor because from the time I'm six until I go

0:29:32.000 --> 0:29:35.520
<v Speaker 1>to Hawaii and start my career, he's the voice I

0:29:35.640 --> 0:29:39.240
<v Speaker 1>hear in my ear. And I probably tried very hard

0:29:39.320 --> 0:29:42.040
<v Speaker 1>to imitate Vinnie when I started, and then I had

0:29:42.040 --> 0:29:45.720
<v Speaker 1>to kind of find my my own path and my

0:29:45.800 --> 0:29:48.840
<v Speaker 1>own cadence. And I didn't want to sound exactly like Benny,

0:29:48.920 --> 0:29:52.280
<v Speaker 1>but clearly he was. He taught me baseball by listening

0:29:52.280 --> 0:29:55.280
<v Speaker 1>to him all of those years. He taught me, you know,

0:29:55.320 --> 0:29:57.920
<v Speaker 1>pretty much had a broadcast and then you know, through

0:29:58.000 --> 0:30:00.360
<v Speaker 1>the years. I got very lucky. To me, I had

0:30:00.440 --> 0:30:03.600
<v Speaker 1>so many great mentors. Bobby Winkles was the coach at

0:30:03.600 --> 0:30:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Arizona State. He would go on to manage the White

0:30:06.120 --> 0:30:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Sox's and the Angels at different times in Hawaii. Chuck

0:30:11.520 --> 0:30:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Tanner as the manager so and he would go on

0:30:13.960 --> 0:30:17.000
<v Speaker 1>to win the We Are Family World Series with Pittsburgh.

0:30:17.400 --> 0:30:18.959
<v Speaker 1>In seventy nine, I go to the Reds. I mean,

0:30:19.000 --> 0:30:22.160
<v Speaker 1>think about this. I've got Sparking Anderson, Pete Rose, Johnny Bench,

0:30:22.240 --> 0:30:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Tony Perez, Joe Morgan. I think I learned a little

0:30:25.240 --> 0:30:27.560
<v Speaker 1>bit about baseball there. And one of the great things

0:30:27.640 --> 0:30:29.760
<v Speaker 1>for me is that in the three years in Cincinnati,

0:30:30.720 --> 0:30:33.080
<v Speaker 1>I had to do a Sparking Anderson ten minute radio

0:30:33.200 --> 0:30:35.520
<v Speaker 1>show every day. So I had at least ten minutes

0:30:35.560 --> 0:30:39.480
<v Speaker 1>with Sparks every single the main you remember, the main

0:30:39.680 --> 0:30:42.520
<v Speaker 1>spark brought to you by maybe Strowsviert that time, of

0:30:42.600 --> 0:30:44.840
<v Speaker 1>course you remember. But I would have to, you know,

0:30:45.080 --> 0:30:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Sparky and I would at least have ten minutes alone

0:30:48.880 --> 0:30:52.240
<v Speaker 1>to tape the show, which always which very often turned

0:30:52.280 --> 0:30:54.280
<v Speaker 1>into like a half an hour. So I got a

0:30:54.400 --> 0:30:57.200
<v Speaker 1>PhD from Sparky, And think about this, because we did

0:30:57.360 --> 0:30:59.640
<v Speaker 1>not only every regular season game. We did all thirty

0:31:00.360 --> 0:31:02.760
<v Speaker 1>spring training games and the Reds got to the playoffs

0:31:03.040 --> 0:31:04.840
<v Speaker 1>twice into the World Series once when I was there.

0:31:04.880 --> 0:31:08.520
<v Speaker 1>So I probably did six hundred shows with Slarky Anderson

0:31:08.760 --> 0:31:12.320
<v Speaker 1>and that's how I got my PhD in baseball. And

0:31:12.480 --> 0:31:14.120
<v Speaker 1>you bring up a great point. We're talking to Al

0:31:14.200 --> 0:31:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Michael's Sunday Night football play by play and now Baseball

0:31:17.400 --> 0:31:19.719
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Famer, the recipient of the twenty twenty one

0:31:19.800 --> 0:31:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Ford Frick Award for Baseball Broadcasting. Learning on Radio because radio.

0:31:26.120 --> 0:31:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Really I fell in love with doing this by listening

0:31:29.480 --> 0:31:33.680
<v Speaker 1>to radio, whether it was you, Marty Brennaman and Joe Nuxall,

0:31:35.080 --> 0:31:38.400
<v Speaker 1>listening to talk shows, Pete Franklin out of Cleveland. You know,

0:31:38.520 --> 0:31:41.160
<v Speaker 1>I was very I was fortunate, but I'm listening. And

0:31:41.280 --> 0:31:44.600
<v Speaker 1>the power of the of just listening to words and

0:31:44.720 --> 0:31:49.160
<v Speaker 1>then creating your own picture, whatever that might be, is

0:31:49.280 --> 0:31:51.880
<v Speaker 1>really powerful. And I was never able to master a

0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:55.600
<v Speaker 1>play by play, but it did help me in communicating

0:31:55.720 --> 0:31:58.280
<v Speaker 1>in what I do on this show, and that is,

0:31:58.400 --> 0:32:00.760
<v Speaker 1>don't take it for granted. They know what you're talking

0:32:00.800 --> 0:32:03.080
<v Speaker 1>about or what it looks like. You've got to make

0:32:03.120 --> 0:32:05.240
<v Speaker 1>sure you explain it to him, and always think of

0:32:05.360 --> 0:32:10.360
<v Speaker 1>the radio listener more than the TV viewer, no question.

0:32:10.720 --> 0:32:15.920
<v Speaker 1>And especially in my era in Cincinnati, there weren't that

0:32:16.040 --> 0:32:19.320
<v Speaker 1>many games on television, so the vast majority of games

0:32:19.400 --> 0:32:23.320
<v Speaker 1>were radio only on WLW. And I would always picture,

0:32:24.200 --> 0:32:27.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe a guy sitting on a porch in Corbin, Kentucky,

0:32:28.520 --> 0:32:31.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, having a beverage and sitting out there, you know,

0:32:31.960 --> 0:32:35.280
<v Speaker 1>in the twilight in the summertime, and I was kind

0:32:35.280 --> 0:32:37.400
<v Speaker 1>of doing the game for him. It's so much different now,

0:32:37.440 --> 0:32:39.640
<v Speaker 1>of course, on television and with social media and with

0:32:39.800 --> 0:32:42.880
<v Speaker 1>streaming and all of the rests, so it's so much different.

0:32:42.920 --> 0:32:45.560
<v Speaker 1>But if you go back to that point in time,

0:32:46.560 --> 0:32:49.280
<v Speaker 1>you're exactly right. It's radio. I mean, to this day,

0:32:50.160 --> 0:32:52.160
<v Speaker 1>I think about you know, we go back to Vincelly

0:32:52.200 --> 0:32:54.920
<v Speaker 1>for a second, and Vinny did the games until you know,

0:32:55.200 --> 0:32:57.040
<v Speaker 1>four or five years ago. So Vinny was in his

0:32:57.240 --> 0:33:00.560
<v Speaker 1>late eighties when he stepped away, and he was still phenomenal.

0:33:01.080 --> 0:33:03.520
<v Speaker 1>And I can't tell you, you know, I'm listening to

0:33:03.680 --> 0:33:06.000
<v Speaker 1>him from the time I was six till the time

0:33:06.040 --> 0:33:09.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm Benny's eighty eight years old in his

0:33:09.600 --> 0:33:12.080
<v Speaker 1>last season, and I'd be driving, you know, back home

0:33:12.160 --> 0:33:15.040
<v Speaker 1>from someplace, and Benny would start to tell a story

0:33:15.120 --> 0:33:17.360
<v Speaker 1>and I'd have to I'd have to put the car.

0:33:17.960 --> 0:33:20.720
<v Speaker 1>I stop the car in the driveway. He but idly

0:33:20.960 --> 0:33:23.120
<v Speaker 1>and just hear the rest of the story. That's how

0:33:23.240 --> 0:33:27.160
<v Speaker 1>compelling Bennie was. He was just the master of that

0:33:28.120 --> 0:33:32.040
<v Speaker 1>to the day he retired. And it's so true. This

0:33:32.280 --> 0:33:35.840
<v Speaker 1>is where you really, you know, cut your eye teeth,

0:33:36.400 --> 0:33:38.520
<v Speaker 1>earn your chops, or whatever you want to say about it.

0:33:38.600 --> 0:33:41.239
<v Speaker 1>But radio is the way to go. It's so much

0:33:41.280 --> 0:33:44.920
<v Speaker 1>different right now as we know. I also, as strange

0:33:44.920 --> 0:33:47.720
<v Speaker 1>as this may sound, the greatest call you ever had

0:33:48.400 --> 0:33:50.680
<v Speaker 1>with a baseball game had to do with the eighty

0:33:50.760 --> 0:33:53.360
<v Speaker 1>nine earthquake when there was no action on the field,

0:33:53.560 --> 0:33:57.720
<v Speaker 1>but there was so much action around you. Your composure

0:33:59.120 --> 0:34:01.800
<v Speaker 1>like you handled that like you were Peter Jennings. I mean,

0:34:01.840 --> 0:34:05.160
<v Speaker 1>you handled it like a newsman and you knew the area.

0:34:05.880 --> 0:34:07.840
<v Speaker 1>But that might have been your greatest call at a

0:34:07.880 --> 0:34:14.680
<v Speaker 1>baseball stadium out It was certainly the oddest. You don't

0:34:14.719 --> 0:34:17.200
<v Speaker 1>rehearse for an earthquake in the middle of the World Series,

0:34:17.840 --> 0:34:21.720
<v Speaker 1>let's put it that way. So for starters, Tim McCarver

0:34:21.840 --> 0:34:23.399
<v Speaker 1>and Jim Palmer and I are doing any game. We're

0:34:23.440 --> 0:34:25.719
<v Speaker 1>just happy we weren't thrown out of the booth when

0:34:25.760 --> 0:34:30.120
<v Speaker 1>it stopped shaking. So you had that petrifying few seconds.

0:34:30.760 --> 0:34:32.520
<v Speaker 1>And then all I thought to myself, you know, you

0:34:32.640 --> 0:34:35.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of go back almost to the to the tenth

0:34:35.680 --> 0:34:39.400
<v Speaker 1>grade when I'm taking a journalism class, and the tenets

0:34:39.440 --> 0:34:43.600
<v Speaker 1>of journalism are who, what, when, where, and how and why?

0:34:44.440 --> 0:34:48.880
<v Speaker 1>And I remember thinking, okay, this is this is very different.

0:34:49.719 --> 0:34:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Become just keep focused and don't go to a place

0:34:55.400 --> 0:34:59.040
<v Speaker 1>that you don't belong, and only talk about the things

0:34:59.160 --> 0:35:02.520
<v Speaker 1>you know for certain. And it was kind of crazy

0:35:02.600 --> 0:35:06.879
<v Speaker 1>because we're getting information coming from this source and that source.

0:35:06.920 --> 0:35:08.880
<v Speaker 1>And this is in nineteen eighty nine. You know, pre

0:35:09.120 --> 0:35:13.000
<v Speaker 1>everything today, if it was an earthquake, Twitter would have

0:35:13.080 --> 0:35:16.320
<v Speaker 1>it within two seconds at that point in San Francisco.

0:35:17.239 --> 0:35:19.520
<v Speaker 1>One of the ironies of that night is that the

0:35:19.719 --> 0:35:23.560
<v Speaker 1>earthquake took place at five o four, at about five twenty.

0:35:24.080 --> 0:35:26.960
<v Speaker 1>People still don't really know what took place. I knew

0:35:26.960 --> 0:35:29.320
<v Speaker 1>it was an earthquake, but candle six and clothes you

0:35:29.360 --> 0:35:31.920
<v Speaker 1>can't see outside. They don't know what's really going on.

0:35:32.040 --> 0:35:35.759
<v Speaker 1>And the crowd starts to chant playball, playball. They had

0:35:35.840 --> 0:35:39.040
<v Speaker 1>no idea what had taken place. So I had an

0:35:39.120 --> 0:35:41.200
<v Speaker 1>idea obviously, because we had the blimp and I could

0:35:41.239 --> 0:35:43.759
<v Speaker 1>see certain things. And all I talked about that night

0:35:43.880 --> 0:35:46.759
<v Speaker 1>was what I knew for certain, because we're getting all

0:35:46.880 --> 0:35:49.640
<v Speaker 1>kinds of misinformation that's coming in and I'm going, no, no, no,

0:35:49.680 --> 0:35:52.319
<v Speaker 1>no no, we have to get all of this corroborated.

0:35:52.640 --> 0:35:55.359
<v Speaker 1>So it's it's again, it's a case of and it's

0:35:55.360 --> 0:35:58.080
<v Speaker 1>another thing that I always thought about in broadcasting, dan

0:35:58.320 --> 0:36:01.520
<v Speaker 1>less is more sometimes because where you get into trouble

0:36:01.520 --> 0:36:03.920
<v Speaker 1>as you go into places that you don't belong. So

0:36:04.960 --> 0:36:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I told you what I knew for certain. I'd lived

0:36:08.000 --> 0:36:09.440
<v Speaker 1>in that area for a lot of years, so I

0:36:09.520 --> 0:36:12.480
<v Speaker 1>certainly geographically I knew what was going on. I had

0:36:12.480 --> 0:36:15.600
<v Speaker 1>a feeling for what was taking place in the Bay

0:36:15.640 --> 0:36:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Area at that point, and I only went to places

0:36:18.840 --> 0:36:22.520
<v Speaker 1>that I belonged that I knew about. Were you ever

0:36:22.640 --> 0:36:26.400
<v Speaker 1>told to evacuate? Because you guys are a pie. We were.

0:36:26.600 --> 0:36:31.160
<v Speaker 1>So what happened was everybody was kind of milling around,

0:36:31.239 --> 0:36:35.520
<v Speaker 1>and then they postponed the game at about close to

0:36:35.640 --> 0:36:41.800
<v Speaker 1>five thirty. So at that point, the stadium emptied out orderly.

0:36:41.920 --> 0:36:45.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean the earthquake, there was no more shaking, and

0:36:45.360 --> 0:36:49.320
<v Speaker 1>I went down because we did not have communication to

0:36:49.440 --> 0:36:51.719
<v Speaker 1>the extent that we needed it in the booth, so

0:36:51.840 --> 0:36:54.440
<v Speaker 1>they brought me down to the truck and I did

0:36:54.600 --> 0:36:59.800
<v Speaker 1>most of the analysis that night from the production truck

0:37:00.320 --> 0:37:02.759
<v Speaker 1>and they haven't had They had a microphone in there,

0:37:03.400 --> 0:37:07.160
<v Speaker 1>which I looked at the tape a few times, obviously,

0:37:07.680 --> 0:37:10.400
<v Speaker 1>and it looked like something Sinatra would have used, you know,

0:37:10.520 --> 0:37:13.680
<v Speaker 1>if he was in a cabaret. It was all sparkly,

0:37:13.840 --> 0:37:16.480
<v Speaker 1>and you know, it just looked like something a guy

0:37:16.520 --> 0:37:19.960
<v Speaker 1>would would be singing at a nightclub in two So

0:37:20.360 --> 0:37:22.080
<v Speaker 1>I had that and I was there for a number

0:37:22.160 --> 0:37:25.160
<v Speaker 1>of hours right. In fact, they kept me there until

0:37:25.760 --> 0:37:27.440
<v Speaker 1>after four in the morning. He wanted me to go

0:37:27.480 --> 0:37:30.800
<v Speaker 1>on Good Morning America, which started at seven Eastern times.

0:37:30.840 --> 0:37:33.799
<v Speaker 1>So it was quite the night. It was a memorable night.

0:37:33.880 --> 0:37:38.759
<v Speaker 1>It was unbelievable. And you know, I'm just look. People say,

0:37:39.719 --> 0:37:41.439
<v Speaker 1>was that a great thrill for me? No, it wasn't

0:37:41.440 --> 0:37:44.400
<v Speaker 1>a great thing. It's a tragedy. That was a tragedy.

0:37:44.680 --> 0:37:48.160
<v Speaker 1>People are dying, billions of dollars of damage and all that.

0:37:48.480 --> 0:37:50.799
<v Speaker 1>I wish it had never happened. But you know, when

0:37:50.840 --> 0:37:52.840
<v Speaker 1>something like that happens, you just have to be the

0:37:52.960 --> 0:37:55.839
<v Speaker 1>hope that you're equal to the task. And at least

0:37:55.880 --> 0:37:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I was able to hold the fort down until they

0:37:57.719 --> 0:38:00.520
<v Speaker 1>were able to get the newspeople out there. Proud to

0:38:00.600 --> 0:38:03.239
<v Speaker 1>know you, proud to consider your friend, and very happy

0:38:03.360 --> 0:38:05.759
<v Speaker 1>for you. Al, Thanks for joining us. We appreciate it

0:38:05.800 --> 0:38:09.680
<v Speaker 1>as anytime you know that. Thank you so give you

0:38:09.680 --> 0:38:13.840
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a rating spite. I was going

0:38:13.880 --> 0:38:15.719
<v Speaker 1>to have cost us on to talk about you. I

0:38:15.760 --> 0:38:19.239
<v Speaker 1>thought I might get a rating spite with that, but no,

0:38:19.560 --> 0:38:22.360
<v Speaker 1>thank you. Thank you all all right, that's Al Michael's

0:38:23.840 --> 0:38:26.920
<v Speaker 1>If you run a broadcasting class or you're a student,

0:38:28.360 --> 0:38:31.360
<v Speaker 1>you should listen to that, or let other students listen to.

0:38:31.600 --> 0:38:33.520
<v Speaker 1>What Al just had to say has nothing to do

0:38:33.600 --> 0:38:37.080
<v Speaker 1>with my questions. It has to do with how you

0:38:37.520 --> 0:38:41.440
<v Speaker 1>paint a picture, talk about what you know. We always

0:38:41.480 --> 0:38:43.800
<v Speaker 1>get in trouble when we call her outside the lines.

0:38:44.360 --> 0:38:46.759
<v Speaker 1>Less is more. What Al just said there in the

0:38:46.880 --> 0:38:51.520
<v Speaker 1>last ten minutes should be required listening for those who

0:38:51.600 --> 0:38:54.000
<v Speaker 1>want to be in this business or are in this business.

0:38:54.120 --> 0:38:56.400
<v Speaker 1>We'll close up shop after this. Thanks for listening to

0:38:56.480 --> 0:38:58.920
<v Speaker 1>the Dan Patrick Show podcast. Be sure to catch us

0:38:59.080 --> 0:39:01.800
<v Speaker 1>live every weekday morning nine until noon eastern six to

0:39:01.960 --> 0:39:04.759
<v Speaker 1>nine Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, and you can find

0:39:04.840 --> 0:39:08.840
<v Speaker 1>us on the iHeartRadio app at FSR, or stream us

0:39:08.960 --> 0:39:11.080
<v Speaker 1>live on the Peacock app. I don't know if this

0:39:11.280 --> 0:39:14.080
<v Speaker 1>matters to Drew Breese or not. He's four touchdown passes

0:39:14.160 --> 0:39:17.560
<v Speaker 1>behind Tom Brady for the old time lead. Assuming he's

0:39:17.640 --> 0:39:21.120
<v Speaker 1>behind Brady after the season ends, is that reason enough

0:39:21.160 --> 0:39:23.520
<v Speaker 1>for him to come back and try to overtake him?

0:39:24.239 --> 0:39:26.480
<v Speaker 1>And I would say no. But if you're going to

0:39:26.560 --> 0:39:29.560
<v Speaker 1>say he's playing well, the team is good, hard to

0:39:29.640 --> 0:39:33.719
<v Speaker 1>walk away, okay? I mean it feels like we get

0:39:34.360 --> 0:39:36.239
<v Speaker 1>an athlete gets to a certain age and then we

0:39:36.400 --> 0:39:38.399
<v Speaker 1>want to push them out the door. Hey, you think

0:39:38.400 --> 0:39:41.480
<v Speaker 1>about retiring? Are you going to retire? I hope they

0:39:41.560 --> 0:39:44.959
<v Speaker 1>stay as long as they feel like they're playing well,

0:39:45.760 --> 0:39:48.640
<v Speaker 1>because I've seen so many athletes who stay an extra year.

0:39:49.239 --> 0:39:51.319
<v Speaker 1>And if Drew Brees feels like he can still play

0:39:51.320 --> 0:39:54.239
<v Speaker 1>at a high level, who am I to say you

0:39:54.280 --> 0:39:57.560
<v Speaker 1>should go into broadcasting? Now? I have had athletes, now

0:39:57.680 --> 0:40:02.480
<v Speaker 1>former athletes, who say, when should I take that broadcasting job?

0:40:02.560 --> 0:40:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Should I take it? A year early or should I

0:40:06.080 --> 0:40:08.640
<v Speaker 1>go as long as I can? And I always say,

0:40:08.800 --> 0:40:14.239
<v Speaker 1>if you're thinking about retiring, then retire. That's it. And

0:40:14.600 --> 0:40:17.279
<v Speaker 1>if you have a job, how important is that job

0:40:17.360 --> 0:40:19.080
<v Speaker 1>to you? And how long do you want to do

0:40:19.200 --> 0:40:23.120
<v Speaker 1>that job? Because I can go back to Jason Witten

0:40:23.760 --> 0:40:27.040
<v Speaker 1>and Jason Witten wasn't ready for that job. On Monday Night,

0:40:27.080 --> 0:40:29.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean I put that on ESPN. They try to,

0:40:29.520 --> 0:40:32.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, shove in a former Dallas cowboy, and of

0:40:32.400 --> 0:40:37.400
<v Speaker 1>course you know Moose Johnston to Troy Aikman, Tony Romo

0:40:37.880 --> 0:40:40.160
<v Speaker 1>put him in there, Michael Irvan, they're all going to work. Well,

0:40:40.160 --> 0:40:43.920
<v Speaker 1>they don't all work. And it felt like Jason was

0:40:43.960 --> 0:40:45.759
<v Speaker 1>going to do it because he couldn't pass it up.

0:40:45.840 --> 0:40:48.160
<v Speaker 1>But he still had a little football in his mind

0:40:48.600 --> 0:40:53.680
<v Speaker 1>left and therefore, don't go into broadcasting. Greg Olsen wasn't ready.

0:40:54.920 --> 0:40:57.200
<v Speaker 1>But when you are, if you start talking about retiring,

0:40:57.320 --> 0:41:01.200
<v Speaker 1>then retire, yes. Man. The flip side of that is,

0:41:01.440 --> 0:41:04.920
<v Speaker 1>say like Tikey Barber who walked into an awesome TV situation,

0:41:05.000 --> 0:41:07.160
<v Speaker 1>but dang, I Betty wish he stayed in one more year.

0:41:07.560 --> 0:41:10.759
<v Speaker 1>But he was playing ring. He was playing at such

0:41:10.800 --> 0:41:15.000
<v Speaker 1>a high level. And if he had played maybe one

0:41:15.080 --> 0:41:17.520
<v Speaker 1>more year and won that Super Bowl with the Giant,

0:41:17.600 --> 0:41:19.200
<v Speaker 1>he'd be a Hall of Famer. I think, I think

0:41:19.239 --> 0:41:23.200
<v Speaker 1>he's that close. But it's your mind, it's it's it's

0:41:23.280 --> 0:41:25.600
<v Speaker 1>nobody else's. It's up to you. Now, a team may

0:41:25.640 --> 0:41:28.600
<v Speaker 1>say we don't want you back, and that can change things.

0:41:28.680 --> 0:41:32.560
<v Speaker 1>But if you if you start thinking about retiring, then

0:41:33.120 --> 0:41:37.000
<v Speaker 1>you should retire. Yeah, PAULI, it's about time we got

0:41:37.040 --> 0:41:41.439
<v Speaker 1>back on that Tiki Barber topic. It's been almost four months. Oh,

0:41:41.960 --> 0:41:44.759
<v Speaker 1>you won't let that one go, will you? You won't

0:41:44.840 --> 0:41:48.480
<v Speaker 1>let that one go? Odd? Very odd? No, But you

0:41:48.560 --> 0:41:50.920
<v Speaker 1>know what, he had a great job. He just wasn't

0:41:50.960 --> 0:41:54.160
<v Speaker 1>great at that job when he got it. He has

0:41:54.239 --> 0:41:57.640
<v Speaker 1>the talent, But those are real hard jobs to walk into.

0:41:58.040 --> 0:42:00.520
<v Speaker 1>My first job. I'm making all these stakes in a

0:42:00.600 --> 0:42:05.040
<v Speaker 1>small market. He's going into the Today Show, Football Night

0:42:05.040 --> 0:42:08.439
<v Speaker 1>in America, and that's your first job. That's really hard.

0:42:09.960 --> 0:42:13.480
<v Speaker 1>And that's why. And I always tell you, know, these

0:42:13.520 --> 0:42:17.399
<v Speaker 1>guys who want to get into broadcasting, find a place

0:42:17.440 --> 0:42:20.080
<v Speaker 1>where you can make some mistakes, like feel this out

0:42:20.200 --> 0:42:24.080
<v Speaker 1>of how tough this is. And Jason Witten went right

0:42:24.160 --> 0:42:25.960
<v Speaker 1>in and he wasn't ready for it in a variety

0:42:26.000 --> 0:42:28.359
<v Speaker 1>of ways, including the criticism that you're going to get

0:42:29.080 --> 0:42:31.959
<v Speaker 1>final results of the poll question. McLevin seventy eight percent

0:42:32.120 --> 0:42:36.040
