Let's letting 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:56.880 Todd have that moment right there. Appreciate okay. By the way, 0:00:56.880 --> 0:01:00.080 the NFL lines according to DraftKings Jacksonville getting eight and 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.520 a half, Giants getting seven and a half, Bengals getting 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:05.640 five and a half, Cowboys getting four against the Niners. 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:10.119 Mike Golic, Big Mike Westwood one NFL analyst and joining 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:13.560 us on behalf of Draft Kings, a sports podcaster. He 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:16.200 will be on the call in the Booth Cowboys Niners 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:21.720 Westwood one Sunday kick off at six thirty Eastern. Good 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:26.440 to see him, Mike. The thing we're overrating about this 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:30.280 game and the thing we're underrating about this game, well, 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:33.640 I think what we're possibly overrating here, well, I don't 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:37.080 know if it's overrating to say what Christie McCaffrey is doing, 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:41.240 but we might be overrating saying that. Though I think 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:44.920 San Francisco is the better team, there's a lot of 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.480 people that think this is a team that's going to 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:51.280 the super Bowl. But Dallas played so well last week 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.559 that but inconsistently throughout the year, actually did the first 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.400 game a couple of their games, the first game against 0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:00.400 Tampa Bay in Week one, which was a horrible game. 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:04.080 So I actually think that it's possible that San Francisco 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.880 could be overrated because winning eleven in a row, and 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:09.919 Dallas can be a little underrated, even though they played 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:13.280 very well last week. So I probably lean there the 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.200 guy that's been and he's finally getting his dude, And 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.120 we all said this at the beginning of the season. 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:21.600 Let Pollard run the ball. I mean, he's got to 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.040 be the guy over Zeke. But Zeke had been the 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:27.120 man for so long it was almost like you wanted 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.640 to tiptoe into that and walk on eggshells when it 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.359 was like, this guy has a proven better home run 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.120 hitter than Zeke. He had a better year than Zeke. 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:38.400 Zeke got all lows in career lows in rushing yards. 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:42.320 So I think from an individual standpoint, Pollard has been 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.760 the underrated one because I think people are afraid to 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.040 step on the toes of Zeke Elliott when this is 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.440 this is a meritocracy, man. You get the job done, 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:54.440 you get the job, and Pollard deserves more time on 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:56.360 the field. But I wonder if this has to do 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.959 with Jerry Jones giving Zeke Elliot at that contract extend 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.840 and I at the time said, why do I want 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:06.000 to get a running back like that five more years? 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.160 Like I got five, I'll move on. And Paullard was 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.960 the better running back and has been that home run hitter. 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.720 So I don't know if that was ego that Jerry's like, no, 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.040 he's got a play because I don't want to look 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:21.079 like I just you know, wasted money. Jerry Jones and ego. No, 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.560 never would that would never happen, Dad, I mean, come on, seriously, 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:26.760 of course it was. I mean we were all wondering 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:28.880 why he was giving everybody in the world a deal 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.639 instead of Dak Prescott and then Zip having given Dak 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:34.520 a deal after Dak gets hurt. Sure, it was every 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.760 every owner GM has an ego. We're gonna find out 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:39.840 what goes on in San Francisco down the road with 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.800 Trey Lance. You know, John Lynch has a GM. He's 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.520 great player, but now as a GM he doesn't want 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:47.440 to be wrong. And the fact that they traded up 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:49.800 to the number three spot for Trey Lance, they tried 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:51.760 to force him in this year, you know, and push 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:55.000 Garoppolo aside. And let's be honest, San Francisco is where 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:58.760 they are because Jimmy Garoppolo needed shoulder surgery. If he 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.040 didn't need shoulder surgery, he would have been traded away, 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.280 he'd have been gone and Brock Purty would have had 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:04.960 to take over early in the season. We have no 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:07.480 idea if he would have played that well early on. 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:10.560 So yeah, going back to Dallas and Zeke, yes, it 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.360 was an ego of Jerry Jones, but Pollard has proven 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.320 right now he is the better back in the backfield. 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:19.200 We had Albert Breer, the Monday morning quarterback on last time, 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:20.840 and he brought up something that I had not heard 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:24.400 about brock Purty because it's a small sample size, but 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.400 I said, you know, he'd get a feeling that you 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:29.599 know who brock purties. He said he talked to a 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.640 scout who said brock Purty had to be the best 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:36.400 player on the field every single weekend at Iowa State 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:38.840 if they had a chance to win. So it's not 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:40.800 like he went in and went, hey, I got an 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:44.400 offense around me. I have to be great every single weekend. 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:48.760 And I think that philosophy is he's not a game manager. 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:52.080 He wants to make plays. He's used to making big plays. 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:54.800 So I called a couple of his games at Iowa 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.040 State where he set those thirty two school records. So 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:58.960 obviously when you're doing the games, you get a chance 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.000 to sit down and talk with the these guys, and 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.320 he's extremely competitive. Now, a lot of guys in the 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.359 sport are competitive. I mean, I think that can be 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:08.599 an overused word, but to your point, and what you're saying, 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.320 you know, you're right. You know, he doesn't care who 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.000 he has out there. It's not one of those oh, 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.880 gimme more weapons. It's like, I'm gonna make do with 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:20.919 the weapons that I have. And he continued from that. Again, 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.479 it would have been interesting, and I'm sure they're glad 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:27.039 it didn't happen if Garoppolo was gone and Purdie did 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.600 have to take over early on in the season, if 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.159 there would have been this much success. But he's a 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:35.320 very confident guy, and confidence is great, but you still 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:38.160 have to go execute on the field. He's also it's 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:41.120 kind of a it's kind of a balancing act, Dan, 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.560 because you've got to give Brock Purdy all the credit 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:47.560 in the world. But while we're throwing roses, let's also 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:51.720 understand that the three touchdowns his wide receivers had at 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.559 least a five yard cushion. He was throwing to wide 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.400 open receivers. Now, again, that was in a playoff game, 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:00.600 and he's thrown well throughout. So before people sit there 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:02.880 and say, oh, goal looks trashing this guy, he has 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.400 done a great job. But you got to give Kyle 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.680 Shanahan credit. And how about Brian Greasy was taken over 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:11.839 as the quarterback coach there as well. And the fact 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.599 that you know this, damn when we were teammates at 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:17.120 the ESPN, I mean, the trade deadline in the NFL 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:21.280 was just a date. Nobody did anything. Now, Kristin McCaffrey 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.280 and TJ. Hockinson has shown, man, you can really make 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.960 some hey at the trade deadline. So you got you 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:30.960 have McCaffrey, you have Elijah Mitchell, you have Deebo Samuel, 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:33.240 you have Brandon Aiyu who has a career year, and 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:36.520 George Kittle. So you now have a pre snap read 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.920 for Brock Purdy, who's a smart quarterback to at least 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:42.440 go okay, I got a couple of spots. I can 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.359 go here because I have monster mismatches on the field 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:48.320 because of all this talent that's on the field Sol 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:51.200 So it is working hand in hand with the weapons 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:54.719 that he has, with the play caller and Shanahan he has, 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.760 with the quarterback coach he has, and with Brock Purdy himself, 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.839 who has really really grabbed the whole of this situation. 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.039 He's my goalik. He'll be in the booth for the 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:06.200 Cowboys in the forty nine ers, Westwood One Radio, Sunday, 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:10.160 kickoff at six thirty Eastern. How much of the pregame 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:15.160 will you focus on Brett Maher kicking field goals or 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.760 extra points? Well, you have to listen. I go down 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:19.480 on the field before every game to talk to players 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:21.480 and coaches, and the kickers are the first ones out 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.280 on the field, so you kind of get their range. 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.920 You know, it certainly can be windy in San Francisco 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.000 to see where there are the ranges on both sides. 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:29.840 But let me tell you, a kicker's got to be 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:33.520 like golfers. I mean, what a mental side this has 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.840 to be in this game and then miss and then miss, 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.760 and then miss and then miss again. You know, I'm 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:41.800 not one that says I feel bad for players. We're 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:43.360 all on the field, we all are trying to make 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:45.800 plays and we all get embarrassed at times. So like 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.480 I feel bad for the family, probably more than the player. 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:50.400 You got to put them back out there. I know 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.080 they had another kicker in practice and they were going 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:55.240 over and Brett made five of five and this other 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.840 guy made three of five. Brett's going to be the kicker, 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.120 and you know what, you in the beginning especially, so 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:02.120 you have to put him out there. You have to say, 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.160 if you're going to have him on the active roster 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.200 in the beginning of the game, you have to have 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.120 the confidence to send him out there and make the kicks. 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.200 So if he goes out there and doesn't make him again, 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:14.000 then you rethink a fourth and three or fourth and four. 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:16.640 I mentioned this in the first down over the show, 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.280 how many great quarterbacks are there in the NFL, like 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:23.080 truly great? Because I don't think the list is as 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:26.880 long as people think. I would go, you know, you 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:30.760 got Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, Rogers and Brady are emeritus, but 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:34.560 they're not great quarterbacks anymore, right, I got Joe Burrow, 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:38.560 who is great. Yes, I got Josh Allen who's great. 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:43.840 After that, who's great? Well, I think Justin Herbert wants 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.440 to jump into that category. I think you look what 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:48.760 we have in the AFC side of the playoffs and 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:52.840 these young quarterbacks. Wow, the future of that going forward. 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:55.400 I think he's the next one that could bust into 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.760 that category. But I agree more with you than others 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:00.440 who say there are eight to ten, and I don't 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:04.200 think there are truly great because you're juggling You're right 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:06.720 the Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady of how can you 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:08.720 not say they're great but they're not playing their best 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:11.040 right now? They're they're just that Tom did last year 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:13.880 play great, but this year did not. So I'm with 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.200 you on the smaller amount, I would say that Justin 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:19.040 Herbert is the next guy to jump into that. Maybe 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:23.199 Jalen Hurts if he's healthy proven, he's gonna be the 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:25.760 future quarterback of that team. But but I'm a big 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:27.920 Justin Herbert fan, even though I know a lot of 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.160 people tear him down a little bit when they keep 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.400 as they try and keep continuing to build that team 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:36.200 around him. I had somebody compare Dak Prescott. Do you 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:39.920 want to guess who they compared Dak Prescott too? Current quarterback? 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:47.959 I'm horrible at guessing who wasn't Kirk Cousins really see well, 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.640 I mean, I guess, I guess until you get past 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.640 a certain point, you know, in the playoffs, and we 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:57.280 know Dallas hasn't gotten past this point yet in a while, 0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:01.439 and Dak is over in this situa in the divisional round. 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:04.680 So you know, until you pass a point, you get 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:08.120 compared with those that haven't passed that point as well 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:11.920 while having good stats. So I get it. Kirk Cousins, 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:14.880 who I mean, all year we've doubted Minnesota, right, I mean, 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.000 but this year seemed different because they were always behind 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:19.320 Green Bay and this year they were in front of 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:21.320 Green Bay, but we were I was like, ah, you 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:23.160 know what, can they get it done? And we always 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:26.000 pointed to Kirk Cousins. Quite honestly, their defense isn't very good. 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:29.360 While Kirk Cousins worked the business of football better than anybody, 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.640 I get not having the faith in him. And Dak 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:35.480 has to prove for America's team that he can get 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:37.880 past this point to get out of that comparison. So 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:41.200 I understand it by how far you go get me? 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:44.600 The surprise this weekend, I don't want to say upset, 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:47.840 but because I don't know if Dallas beats the Niners, 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:50.319 they are only a four point underdog or three and 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:55.360 a half. Now, yeah, you got an upset or a surprise. Well, 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:58.560 I actually called last week the Giants beating Minnesota. And 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:00.480 as you know, it's all about us being right and 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:02.640 not the game being right. It's about how good we look. 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.400 So listen to the Giants can take and they lose 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:09.480 all three to Philly this year. You know, we went 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.480 through that was I called the Cincinnati Baltimore game last week. 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:16.800 They had split during the regular season. You know, I 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.160 think a lot depends on Jalen Hurts. If Jalen Hurts 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:21.080 says he kicked all the rust off him, the Giants 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:23.200 are hot right now, I don't. I think it's going 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:26.120 to be very difficult for Jacksonville in Kansas City, though 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:29.160 I love what Jacksonville is doing. Talking to Doug Peterson 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.280 a few weeks ago, the main word for him, he 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.480 said with his team is trust. And God knows after 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.360 last year and that Tobacco with urban Meyer that players 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:39.640 needed to trust somebody. But while I was a former 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:42.199 Eagle and I loved being an Eagle, and I think 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:45.880 they're an unbelievably complete team. Jalen Hurts and the injury 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.760 Jalen Hurts and the possible rust, and the way the 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:51.079 Giants are playing. They're playing the way you can win 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:54.120 in the playoffs. Run control the ball and play really 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:56.839 good defense. Dexter Lawrence in the middle using his hands 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:58.760 is so much fun to watch. I can't believe he 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.800 and I played the same position. Quite Honestly, it's unbelievable 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:05.800 what he's doing. So while it's all Eagle fans are saying, 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:07.720 Golik as a former regal, how the hell can you 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.199 say this? The Giants are playing well right now and 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.280 the Eagles need Jalen to get back out up to 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:15.680 Bill where he was playing before. It's always great to 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:18.000 talk to you. Save travels, my best of the family. 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:20.120 Thank you, Mike, Thanks Dan, good to talk to you. 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.079 That's Mike Golick Westwood. Want he will be in the 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.880 booth the Niners and the Cowboys. I like that. Somebody's 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:26.640 you know, flipping through the dial and they're used to 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:30.679 hear and Golick on ESPN. They're like, wait, what good 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:32.680 to have him back. But he'll be on the call 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:36.120 for the Cowboys and the forty nine ers. We'll get 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.440 some phone calls in here. We say good morning if 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.200 you're watching on Peacock. We mentioned last hour and where 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:44.440 we will be with our Super Bowl coverage. We're gonna 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:48.400 be at Scottsdale Stadium. They gave us the stadium the Giants, 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:53.280 San Francisco Giants, and I do love that ballpark. Spent 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:58.520 many afternoon there watching baseball on the hill, great great 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:01.679 ballpark there and the same Francisco Giants said, come on in, 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:05.520 it's yours for the week. Our first guest on Monday morning, 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:09.000 Super Bowl week is J. J. Watt. Does he bring 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:15.320 his son? Oh? Yeah, I would hope early. Yeah. You 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.679 know you like puppies, you like babies. I mean it's 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:23.120 all about content, Fritzie. Could you see if maybe J J. 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:26.480 And he's now retired, brings his wife. She can take 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:28.280 care of the baby until he comes on the set 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:30.360 and then he has the baby there. It's a fabulous 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.680 thank you Todd. All right, poll question for hour two. 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:37.439 But you're gonna recap our one, Seaton O'Connor. Yeah, Dan, 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:39.760 let me recap our one for you. We had to 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:41.400 put it up just on the website. Usually we do 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:43.440 it on Twitter and the website, but it was a 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:47.920 little wordy, so it's only on the website. Yeah. Least 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:51.800 likely headline from the divisional playoff weekend? Do we want 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:55.079 Todd to read them? It's his poll question, it is 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:58.560 his special do we want him to do we want? 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:01.959 I tried to when I said least likely? That was 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:05.640 all right? How about you imitate Todd? There you go? Oh, boy. Oh. 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:08.400 By the way, I reached out to Darius Rucker last 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.800 night and I said, you know, I'll have an update here. 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.600 I'll have an update. How about we take a break here. 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:18.480 I just saw Rucker retired. No no, no, no no. 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:21.040 Because Fritzie won the bet, the Dolphins didn't go to 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:23.560 the Super Bowl. Fritzie gets to sing two songs. I 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:27.640 reached out to Darius last night and I'll let you 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.680 know what he had to say about it. Plus we 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:33.720 will update the pull results as well. All of that 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:38.120 plus Dion Sanders a big score for Dion. He's already 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.880 showing how valuable he will be at Colorado. Take a 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.880 break back after this.

By 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:26.200 the way, Barry from Santa Fe, I think it's I 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:29.000 do what I want, when I want, if I want. 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.320 I think that's his slogan. There a legend, but that 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:34.760 is a great motto to live by, if you can 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:38.720 live by that. But that's why Barry is single, because 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.840 he does what he wants, when he wants, if he wants. Yes, Paul, 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:43.880 do you guys have any friends that are like, well 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:46.560 past the marrying age and they're going wire to wire 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:49.160 with being single? Like high school college buddies. I got 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:52.400 a couple college buddies. I think they're going to caprio 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:55.560 and not with his level of options, they're never getting married. 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.120 And I think it's a little bit by choice. You 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:00.960 find that interesting. I mean, do you have a lot 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:04.920 of Do you guys have any friends like that? No? None, 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:08.120 I don't think so or friends that Why don't have 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:13.800 that many friends? So I bring up those sensitive topics 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:15.520 soon if you start there. I was just trying to 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:17.040 run through all my friends and I came up with 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:21.640 a zero. My wife will say to me, why don't 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.880 you go make friends? Like I'm seven, I'll hear order 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.880 of them all. I don't know, but she'll go, you know, 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.040 why don't you go make friends? I go, I know 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:33.600 I don't need friends. Well, I have an audience. They're 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.720 my friends. I have dan Ence, they're my friends. I 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:39.400 got the back room guys, they're my friends. I got 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:42.960 Shay and Irving, he's my friend. Yes. Yes. It couldn't 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:45.520 have been more than seventy two hours ago that my 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:47.920 wife and I were having this conversation and I made 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:50.320 some kind of wise ass comment about you know, like, 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:53.240 you know, it's called socializing. It's like this thing that 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:55.320 people do where they go out and have friends. And 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:56.840 she was just like, yeah, and you know what, it's 0:16:56.880 --> 0:17:00.360 tough to do when you're married to someone who hates everyone. 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:04.400 I was like, oh, good point. You're right. I am 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:07.800 kind of a I don't really like them, but I 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:11.200 just I'm not interested in going out and just sitting 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:14.920 down and listening to people. I just not that's fair. 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:19.320 I got. I would much rather sit downstairs and smoke 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:23.560 a cigar and watch TV and not talk to anybody. 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:27.320 That's all. That's like, It's like your friends become the 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.200 people that you know because of your children. Yeah right, 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:33.679 So like like my buddy one, I hang out with 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:36.000 him like two three times a week because at soccer 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:37.480 practice we'll go get a couple of beers while the 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:39.360 kids are playing soccer, and you're like, yeah, that's my guy, 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:41.919 that's my boy, you know, and that's kind of like 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:43.439 what your friend group is. And then it's like, hey, 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:45.240 you're having a barbecue. Yeah, we'll come over. But if 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:48.880 soccer ended, would you still hang out with him? Probably less, 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:51.760 but we would keep in touch for sure. Yeah, I don't. 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:55.000 I just how many friends do you have? New friends? 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:59.360 Like after college? Well, okay, at my age, I think 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:04.120 if you have three good friends, then that's all you need, right, 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:08.080 three good friends you can count on. And you're talking local, 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:12.080 like locally it could be anyway okay, yeah, yeah, Like 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:15.239 my younger brother is my best friend and if I 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:18.040 needed something, he'd be there. I don't think that counts 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:22.720 on the list. Okay, oh brothers are he has to 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:24.600 hang out with you? Those are two of the three 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:26.800 that I had on my list. My older brother and 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:32.160 my younger brother cousin Uh wow what and my son 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:37.120 what's Yeah? But your brothers and my son. Yeah, that's awkward. 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:39.639 So maybe I do have to go out and get 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:42.119 some friends. Yeah, seed, Yeah, there's like a real study 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:45.080 about this, Like people do research on why men don't 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:47.240 make friends as they get older and how it's like 0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:51.000 eventually like shrinks down to essentially none. Oh, there's there's 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:54.440 real studies about that. Yeah thing. Yeah, I think you 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:57.640 make your friends grade school, high school, uh, college, because 0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:00.480 you spend massive amounts of hours together. Think about the 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:02.880 high school people, you know, you know everything about them, 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:04.679 and you're still keep in touch with them, Like I 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:06.520 know more about my eighth grade friends than the guys 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:09.119 down the street, and even though I haven't seen them 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:12.280 in decades and decades. Well, also when you're in this business. 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:15.600 When I was at the Mothership, I had ESPN friends. 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:19.280 While I worked there, they were friends, but then when 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:25.439 I left, we weren't friends. NBC you had NBC friends, 0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:28.080 they're you know, they're called TV friends or radio friends, 0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:31.879 media friends. And then after that your relationship was really 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:34.880 based on you work with them every day. And it's 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:37.560 not that I didn't have great people to work with 0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:41.560 and be friends with, but once I left, a lot 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:43.920 of them didn't feel like, you know, they could stay 0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:47.000 in contact with me because they were worried. Certainly ESPN 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:51.320 you had that. I had one friend, true friend, and 0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:55.720 he didn't want to send me a Christmas card. And 0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:58.760 I saw him years later and I said, hey, no 0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:01.200 Christmas card. He goes, I just didn't want it to 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:03.040 get back to management. I was going to send you 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:06.400 a Christmas card. I go, what, get out of here. 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:10.000 But you know, I think there was paranoia because there 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:13.240 was some bad blood. Everything's good now, it's been great. 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:17.560 That seems extreme though, Yes, it's an extreme level. Yes, yes, 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:23.960 that's checking our mail. Yeah, they know where Christmas card listen? Yes, yes, yeah, 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:26.280 new friends, the new friends I made have been in 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:31.600 this building. But then those aren't real friends, just letting 0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:34.800
