WEBVTT - 02/09/22 DPS Hour 3 Al Michaels 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:09.120 Sports Radio Final Hour. In this Wednesday here in Los Angeles, 0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:12.360 the great Al Michaels will join us coming up here momentarily. 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:14.640 Super Week brought to you by M Drive. Don't let 0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:18.400 h beat you get M Drive. Today we spoke with 0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:23.520 Mark Sanchez, Clayton Kershaw, Carson Palmer, and Al Michaels will 0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:26.040 join us coming up Al calling the Game of Course 0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:29.720 on Sunday with Chris Collinsworth and Michelle Tafoya on Peacock 0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:32.400 and NBC. You know, in twenty eighteen, it looked like 0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:34.879 the Blazers could be the next dominant team in the 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.440 Western Conference. They were fresh off going to the conference finals. 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:42.080 Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, looked like they had the NBA's 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:45.920 best bank court. Blazers never became a consistent team, a 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:50.639 dominant team. They traded McCollum to the Pelicans yesterday, So 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.519 that essentially ends any hope of a serious run from 0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:57.280 this team. And maybe the Blazers are in a rebuild now. 0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:01.400 Maybe Portland will have close sixty million dollars in cap 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:04.800 space in the offseason. The trade also provides the team 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:07.600 with valuable draft capital, and that could leave the Blazers 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:11.160 in a situation with a lot of options this summer. 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:16.759 But you have to wonder, Damian Lillard, do you keep him? 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:19.240 Does he want to stay? What can you get for him? 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:24.120 Blazers maybe could be serious contenders down the road, but 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:27.399 why keep him? Unless you keep him because you want 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:29.480 to say to your fan base you have something to 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:31.800 at least look forward to seeing. You know, the Lakers 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:35.080 did this with Kobe those last couple of years. They 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:38.440 weren't great teams, weren't contenders. But you know, you've got 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:41.200 Kobe out there and you can watch Kobe play, but 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:43.680 you know Damian Lillard, Damian Lollard is not at the 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.120 end of his career like Kobe was. And I remember 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:49.120 the first day that we did this show after I 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:53.160 had left ESPN October of two thousand and seven, and 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:56.000 we're in Los Angeles, and I remember the big story 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.680 that day on our first day on KLAC in Los Angeles, 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.640 and it had to do with Kobe Bryant maybe being 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:06.200 traded to the Chicago Bulls, but the Bulls would not 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:11.480 part with one player, reportedly Ben Gordon. That was it 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:15.120 was like the Bulls could get Kobe, but they didn't 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:19.240 want to give up Ben Gordon and I went, oh ouch. 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:22.720 But you know, you start to look at these teams 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:26.119 and these superstars. If I'm Damian Lillard, and he's always said, look, 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.680 I don't want to join a championship team. We want 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.280 to build something here. And I always I've always had 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.280 great respect for Damon Lillard when he's been on the show. 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.600 He's a great guest. I love the way he plays, 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:41.680 He's not afraid, he's dynamic. But at some point, you go, 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:45.120 you guys are letting me down. You guys are failing 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:49.520 me because I'm I'm giving you everything I have, but 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.000 what are you giving me in return? And I think 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:54.240 you know, and if you're Chauncey Billups and you're looking 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:57.640 around and you're going, man, we what this team once was, 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.280 and now I take over this team? Who is this 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.760 team anymore? CJ McCollum, I know that there was a 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.840 lot of talk about him, maybe there would be a 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:12.200 Ben Swimming Simmons swap for CJ McCollum. And at the time, 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.040 people were saying, well, you know, you're gonna have to 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.440 give up Lillard to get Ben Simmons I said, they're 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:19.519 not giving up Damian Lillard for Ben Simmons. Yeah, Paul, 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:21.720 I'm going back and looking at this two thousand and 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:24.480 seven story because it was the biggest story in sports. 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:28.280 Kobe Bryant said it points likely to go to the 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:30.680 Bulls in a trade. Guess what else held up the deal? 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:34.000 Lual Dang. Lual Dang was a player out of Duke 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:38.160 Right and Kobe had been talked to about the trade, 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:40.920 and Kobe said, well, if lual Dang comes here, that 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.360 that's not good. I want him to be in Chicago 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:45.080 as one of the players I play with. And that 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:47.000 held up the trade as one Oh my god, can 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:50.600 you imagine how the Bulls got that? Age seven seven 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.440 three d P Show Email undressdp oft Dan Patrick dot com, 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.360 Twitter handle at dp show. The Lakers lost again last 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.960 night and starting to run out of excuses. Here Lebron 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.600 James and Anthony Davis in the lineup together for just 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:06.560 the eighteenth time this season. Lakers are ten and eight 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.520 in those games. Russell Westbrook, after the loss of the 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:15.120 Bucks last night and after hearing the booze at home 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:18.720 for him, here's the question and answer for us, it's 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:22.320 the secondtary game that you've received booze after a turnover? 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:25.120 Is that a hard experience for you? I mean, this 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:26.720 is this is home for you, and like that was 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.159 a special thing? Is that is that? Is that a 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:29.840 hard thing for you to absorb? In anyway, it's a 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:34.880 sign of respect, sign a respect. I don't mindset and 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:37.599 how I think about this game and what I'm able 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.040 to do for this game is not predicated on booze. 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:42.640 I have a platform that I'm able to use to 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:46.000 be able to do other things that God has blessed 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:47.480 me what to be able to do, and I will 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:49.840 continue to do those things. Regards to be boof of 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.599 me here for me, cuss me out, call me names, 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:56.280 it doesn't really matter. Okay, if you're on the road, 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:59.960 it's a sign of respect. Ross not at home, that's horror, 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:03.560 I think. And what are the other things you're going 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.080 to do? How about we just focus on one thing. 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:11.000 Make a couple of shots. I just you know, it's 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.719 the guy who you see this, the guy on the 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:17.760 playground who keeps taking long shots, you know, and he's 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:20.760 not making them, but he keeps taking those long shots. 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:24.279 And then you go at some point, how about you 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:26.760 bring it in a little bit. How about you try 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:28.600 to go to the hoop. How about you get to 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:30.520 the free throw line, how about and you shoot some lamps. 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:34.520 Whatever it is. He keeps shooting those jumpers there, And 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:38.000 yes he's ball dominant, and yes, I understand the game plan. 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.960 What it was that kind of had load management on 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.560 Lebron while he played games because Ruster in the regular 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:47.680 season would take, you know, a lot of the time 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:52.320 playmaking duties. It hasn't worked out here and it's not 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:55.320 going to work out. Maybe they get into the playoffs, 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:59.560 maybe they you know, do you know they threatened Phoenix 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:01.520 in the first round of the playoffs, that that's who 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:03.799 they meet up with, or they end up facing Golden State. 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.520 Maybe they could throw a little scare in them and 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:09.080 maybe they can beat a team in the first round. 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.800 It just doesn't feel sustainable. And then I wondered last 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:15.400 night I texted the Danets. It was they were moving 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.840 towards halftime and they were down like twenty five or thirty, 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.560 and I said, I hope Frank Vogel doesn't get fired 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:24.920 at halftime. And then I wonder, even if you fire him, 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:28.839 do you fire him just to what takeaway from what 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:32.520 the product is that's not going to help you. You 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:37.000 can make you can make the argument that Frank's rotations 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:41.600 aren't very good, and people have had criticisms about that, 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:44.000 and I can at least look at and go, okay, 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:48.080 that's a fair assessment of the Lakers. The different lineups here, 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:52.920 So the twenty seventh different lineup in fifty five games. 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:58.800 It's not possible to do that for a team that 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.640 you would think would be decent. And the eighteenth time 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:04.960 this year that Davis, Lebron, and Westbrook all played together 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.320 and they won ten of those games. They've lost there. 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.720 But you know what, what the nets are worse? Lebron 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:13.960 to say to say, let they ask what do you 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.240 think about the losing that you guys watching nuts? Yeah? 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.040 Watching the Nuts game? Hey, you think we're bad? How 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.960 about the nets? That would have been good. That would 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:23.320 have been a better answer, but he didn't. Okay. Lebron 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.440 had this to say about the current Lakers and how 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.920 they compare with the Bucks. Do I think we're gonna 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:33.440 reach the level where Milwaukee is right now? Um? No? 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:38.760 That was that was the one to end on me. No, 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:45.880 oh yeah, are you gonna follow up this season. I 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:47.640 will hope so, But right now, we didn't know. We 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:49.560 can't get to where they are right now. I mean, 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:54.280 they're the defending champions for a reason. And I guarantee 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:56.320 if you would have asked teams coming out of bubble 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:57.680 if they could get to the level whever we we're 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:01.160 playing at when we want a championship, that said the same. Yeah, 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:05.440 it's an honest answer. But he's got he's got to 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:10.200 maintain some zen or calmness here because Lebron has been 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.000 he's seen it all, and this is where you go. 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:16.320 Just let us kind of figure it out. Maybe we 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:19.040 figured out we're not where Milwaukee is, They're not where 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:21.679 Golden State is, They're not where Phoenix. I mean, there's 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:25.080 probably ten to twelve teams that they're not on their 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.960 level right now. Who would have thought that this Laker 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:32.280 team would not be on Memphis's level, but they're not. Yeah, 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:34.480 this is an awkward question, and I don't know. I'm 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:37.520 not at basketball expert. Would this team be better if 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:41.120 Russell Westbrook was just not on the team just by omission? 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:43.880 Could you see that's team being better just by that 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:45.960 or would you have to get something for him? Oh, 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:47.680 you have to get something for him, But I don't 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.280 want John Wall for Russell Westbrook. I guess what I'm 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:52.480 saying is if he just wasn't in the lineup, would 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:55.680 that Well, he's been benched. He got benched again last night, 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:58.360 So that tells you what Frank Vogel think. You have 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.480 to play him, but you don't want to continue to 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.240 play him, and can you get something for him? And 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.960 the answer is like, if you're a franchise, do you 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:11.000 want him? Like, I don't know if anybody would go God, 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:14.120 if we get Ross, that's not happening. Yeah, see, yeah, 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.040 I think Lebron did a good job in that sound 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:19.640 bite of holding back, because you could tell for a 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:21.000 minute there he's like, oh is that what you want 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:22.800 to hear? You know? And you're like, oh no, this 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.360 dude's gonna have like not a meltdown, but he's gonna 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.760 lose his cool. And then Insteady like unwound himself and 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:32.880 just answered the question in a really honest way. The 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:36.440 nets have dropped nine in a row. I don't know 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.959 if James Harden's gonna get traded, doesn't feel like that, 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:43.839 But if he is, what do you if he goes 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:48.120 to Philly. You're gonna get Ben Simmons. If you're the Nets, 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.559 do you get Seth Curry? Maybe trade deadline is tomorrow. 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:54.840 But the Nets have been blown out their last three 0:09:54.920 --> 0:10:00.560 losses by twenty three, twenty and thirty five. You wouldn't 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.080 think that they would have one of those losses this year. 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:09.040 Felt a little stat of the daysh But apparently who Marvin, Marvin? 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:11.840 It sounds like a stat of the day. Hello, Marvin, 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:19.760 all right, out of the day, day comes, what the day? 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:27.440 How's everything back there at the man cave? Marvin? Everything? Okay, Yeah, 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:31.160 everything's good back here. Okay, didn't didn't mean to wake 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:33.959 you up, you and Tyler and the back room guy. 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:37.400 So everybody's good. Yeah, everybody's good. Everybody's happy. We all 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:41.720 sleve it. Oh okay, because we had to get up 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:45.040 early here in Los Angeles. All right, shot fired by 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:48.920 the way, guests, who has a limerick today? He couldn't 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:52.480 do the poll question today. He lost those responsibilities. He's 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:56.239 got a big showdown on Friday with Ryan from Honolulu 0:10:56.520 --> 0:11:00.400 with the mock off mock headlines. Yes, yeah, so I 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:03.240 have never I've never met Ryan before, never seen Ryan, 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.600 but Ryan is going to be in studio and that 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:09.559 Todd will have a mock off with headlines of what 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:11.760 we think the super Bowl is going to be. So 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.920 these will be Monday's headlines that will write on Friday. 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.960 All right, so give me your Limerick Todd A dozen 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.880 years in the Motor City with a lot more ugly 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:24.719 than pretty. Now, Stafford's one win away from being king 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.120 for a day for the Bengals, it would be a 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:33.640 pity Okay, all right, that's not all. That's courtesy much 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.400 more from the staff, my own guys that I've worked 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:39.360 with every day. Yeah, not us. It was we felt guilty. 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.440 We weren't applauding, and then all the people behind the 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.880 scenes are applauding. So I appreciate you. Yeah, yes, there 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.160 must be something in their contract. When they see Dan's 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:56.640 hands clap, you also join in. That's likely what really goes. 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:58.800 How about a couple of phone calls here Al Michael's 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.480 will join us in a little bit. Andrew in Buffalo, 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:16.199 Andrew and Buffalo. What is on your mind today? Andrew? Andrew? Andrew? 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:20.240 Hey Dan, how's it going? Hey Andrew? Who are you 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:23.280 talking to? Sorry about that? I was gonna work call, 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:27.400 But you know, what do you do with laying on 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:30.960 the on the Auburn game last night? Storming the court? 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:35.719 I think it's important to understand that Arkansas made the 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:39.640 Elite eight last year. Um, and so if we're gonna, 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:41.840 you know, make rules for storming the court, they were 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:44.440 a two point underdog, maybe Elite eight last year, like 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:47.360 kind of act like you belong there. That being said, 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.280 I really think that, you know, I would have loved 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.640 to be in Arkansas last night. Looked like a great nightclub, 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:56.120 tight appy that after the game. So I'm all for it. 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.160 But well, maybe the Elite eight last year, like you 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:00.800 were storming the court after being a two point underdog 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.439 and wentn't at home? Thank you, thank you, Andrew? Good 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:09.559 luck with work today. Uh, Brandon in Arkansas, Brandon, congratulations 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:14.040 on the big win last night. He thanks Dan h 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:19.400 five nine in a falling two forty five. Um that 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:22.920 previous color there, Um, I don't really think he has 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:27.199 his tone on what's going on here. Um. You know, Arkansas, 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:34.160 we're a proud program, but we have had nothing to 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:40.079 be grateful for in ten years since Petrino H. Then 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:42.600 there was the Bilma in the two and the four 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:44.920 win two two years of Chen Morris and then you 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.480 want to talk about an Arkansas program. Yeah, but you're 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:52.000 talking football though, Brandon, you're talking football. Muscleman did agree 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.320 you up last year giving you an old I'm giving 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:56.440 you an overall of just the state of things here. 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:58.400 Now I'm getting to the basketball where we had ten 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:01.559 years of Mike Anderson, where it was considered a successful 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.600 season if you made the first round and lost. So, 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:07.240 I mean, we've been getting for this and this is great. 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:08.719 And I get what you're saying about it being a 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:13.280 bad look, but it was very well, very much earned here, 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:16.360 I know. But Brandon, my point was it was a 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:19.440 great win. You can't turn off the lights and start 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:24.480 a pyrotechnics type of celebration there fans running on the floor. 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.640 Auburn's team is still on the floor. I mean, how 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:32.800 about you wait, wait fifteen seconds, twenty seconds. I mean, 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.680 we're just asking for something bad to go wrong, and 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:37.640 it's not fair to that Auburn team trying to get 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:40.480 off floor after losing that game. That's all you want 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:44.520 to celebrate, Go go celebrate, but you know, don't try 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:50.280 to validate. You know, the pyrotechnics there turning out the 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:54.360 lights just not good. Update the pole results, Pauli, and 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:56.280 then we'll take a break. Who would you bet? Who 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:58.760 would you bet has the most Super Bowl appearances in 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.120 the next decade. Pat Mahomes has taken the lead with 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:04.200 forty four percent, Josh Allen twenty five percent, Joe Burrow 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:07.800 twenty three percent, Justin Herbert eight percent. Okay, all right, 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.600 let's take a break. More phone calls coming up. Al 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:13.240 Michaels joins us next here on the Dan Patrick Show. 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.920 Chrome Soft the best tour ball.

Will Al Michaels eat during 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:14.080 the super fairly confident. Al does eat before and after 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:18.040 the okay, between between kickoff and the final whistle? Does 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:21.720 Al eat? I'll say yes, all right, I'll say no. 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:24.280 Al Michaels he'll be calling the Super Bowl. He joins 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:27.639 us his eleventh Super Bowl, tying Pat Summer All for 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:30.520 the most by a TV play by play voice, Al, 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:35.200 will you be eating during Super Bowl fifty six? Dan? 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.359 I love my partner. Chris Poland's worth is like a 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:41.879 brother somehow, some way. He once said, I eat a 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:45.320 whole meal during the game. Not true. I have a 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:49.560 few junior mints, I have some grapes. I might have 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:54.720 a snack, well, cookie, that's it. Chris is a guy 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:59.840 who leaves like a horse before the game, Sushi, pasta, 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:03.760 all of the rest. Okay, that is fake news. Okay, 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:05.520 I will not be having a deal during the Super Bowl. 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:11.280 Ye okay to the judges. So who won the bat? Well, 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:15.200 I don't think a snack is a meal. I don't either, Fritzie, Hello, 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:20.720 I'm a winner. I like how PAULI goes before, during, 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:26.360 or after the Super Bowl. By the way, Al, on 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.080 this date back in two thousand and six, you know 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:34.800 what happened two thousand and six. I think I left 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:40.600 Disney to go to NBC. Yep, yep, correct, And there 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:44.480 was a rabbit involvement in a cartoon Rabbit and uh, 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:48.920 you were ending a twenty year run on Monday Night Football. 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:51.920 Now I'm just bringing that up no reason at all 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:55.840 that you know, maybe you're joining another network or something 0:18:55.920 --> 0:19:01.000 on you know, close to this anniversary. Aaleh, I have, 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:05.119 as you well know, but all of that behind me 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:10.080 if you start thinking about other things. I promised myself 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:13.560 this year not to be distracted, and I will not 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:16.479 be distracted until Monday, when I can have a ton 0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:18.919 of distractions in my life. But I don't want anything 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:23.440 before Sunday. Then I'm working like a maniac. I mean, look, well, 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.879 for your television audience, I mean I have like nine 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:30.080 thousand pages of information ready to go for this game, 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:33.639 the best stories, but all of them will wind up, 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:35.640 you know, on the cutting room floor, as they say, 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:41.000 because as John Badden said years ago, become armed for war. 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:44.320 We have everything available to us. And then, as John 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:46.800 would say, a game breaks out and you do the game, 0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:52.280 but also, well do you prepare for a blowout? Well, 0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:54.480 I don't think you prepare for it. Necessarily a blow 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:57.040 You prepare for the game period. You hope the game 0:19:57.119 --> 0:20:00.760 is great, and if it's a blow, wow, then we're 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:03.439 ready to go in a different directions. It almost becomes 0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:05.639 a question. We laughed about it beca so we did 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:09.479 have a blowout in the Christmas weekend game between Dallas 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:12.719 and Washington, and then it became almost like talk radio, 0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:17.200 you're going back and forth. Fortunately for me, I've done 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:19.320 ten Super Bowls and six of them have gone down 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:23.040 to the very end, including the last four, And I 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:24.480 looked at this way to day. I don't think the 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:26.600 NFL has ever been hotter than it is right now today. 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:29.120 I mean, people are just talking about these last six 0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:32.280 teams have been fantastic, and I'm just hoping that we 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:34.680 get the lucky seven. And it's not like when you 0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:36.720 go to the crap table and you've got a great 0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:39.840 run going and then you throw a seven and the 0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:42.800 dealer says a seven out of line in due shooter. 0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:45.320 We don't need that, we need we need the lucky 0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:48.639 seven this week. How important is it for you to 0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:53.640 meet with coaches or quarterbacks to glean information from them? 0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:56.840 Very and we will. We're going out to see the 0:20:56.920 --> 0:20:59.800 Rams today. We get the Bengals tomorrow. We know the 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:02.680 very well because we had them three times this year, 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:06.520 We've had them several times over the past couple of seasons. 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:10.240 We know them. So we'll see you know, McVeigh, and 0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:12.800 we'll see Stafford and some of the other guys today 0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:16.920 and then I think Christo was Zach Taylor a little 0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:19.040 bit because he lives in Cincinnati. I've met him once, 0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:22.600 don't know Burrow will meet him tomorrow. I think it's important. 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:24.199 I think it's it's great because you know, you know 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:27.480 enough about them from watching them and reading about them, 0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:29.720 and then you get to talk to them and I find, 0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:32.439 you know, the really good stuff that happens is you 0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:36.440 get a story that hasn't been told before going into 0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:39.240 a Super Bowl. There's so many stories out there, millions 0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:41.960 and millions of you know, words have been written, and 0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:44.720 so much time has been spent on television and radio 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:47.199 talking about it. You want to find something that's a 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:50.479 little bit different. So hopefully that's what will happen. And 0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:53.679 that's why that's why it's very beneficial to meet with 0:21:53.720 --> 0:21:56.680 the principals. We always talk about players when they get 0:21:56.680 --> 0:22:00.760 to the postseason. But as a broadcaster, the amount of 0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:05.920 postseason games you call, what changes or and how does 0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:08.520 that prepare you better for the next one you do 0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:12.000 and the next one you do? It's you know what 0:22:12.359 --> 0:22:15.960 it's almost like when you're a player, Dan, you know, 0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:20.040 you do what got you there. So if you go, 0:22:20.240 --> 0:22:22.600 you know, in a different direction. I know, look, I 0:22:22.680 --> 0:22:26.600 understand the magnitude of the games, and especially the Super Bowl, 0:22:26.600 --> 0:22:28.600 and people say, you know, one hundred million people are watching. 0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:31.520 You can't think about that. You want to break clearly. 0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:33.720 You want to get off to a nice start, get 0:22:33.760 --> 0:22:36.959 the game going, and very much like the players who 0:22:36.960 --> 0:22:39.400 are talking about, you know, the first time there's contact 0:22:39.560 --> 0:22:42.600 a couple of plays into the game, they're playing football 0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:45.760 and we're announcing football. So you don't want to have 0:22:45.840 --> 0:22:48.760
