Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour. In this Wednesday here in Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: the great Al Michaels will join us coming up here momentarily.
Speaker 1: Super Week brought to you by M Drive. Don't let
Speaker 1: h beat you get M Drive. Today we spoke with
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez, Clayton Kershaw, Carson Palmer, and Al Michaels will
Speaker 1: join us coming up Al calling the Game of Course
Speaker 1: on Sunday with Chris Collinsworth and Michelle Tafoya on Peacock
Speaker 1: and NBC. You know, in twenty eighteen, it looked like
Speaker 1: the Blazers could be the next dominant team in the
Speaker 1: Western Conference. They were fresh off going to the conference finals.
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, looked like they had the NBA's
Speaker 1: best bank court. Blazers never became a consistent team, a
Speaker 1: dominant team. They traded McCollum to the Pelicans yesterday, So
Speaker 1: that essentially ends any hope of a serious run from
Speaker 1: this team. And maybe the Blazers are in a rebuild now.
Speaker 1: Maybe Portland will have close sixty million dollars in cap
Speaker 1: space in the offseason. The trade also provides the team
Speaker 1: with valuable draft capital, and that could leave the Blazers
Speaker 1: in a situation with a lot of options this summer.
Speaker 1: But you have to wonder, Damian Lillard, do you keep him?
Speaker 1: Does he want to stay? What can you get for him?
Speaker 1: Blazers maybe could be serious contenders down the road, but
Speaker 1: why keep him? Unless you keep him because you want
Speaker 1: to say to your fan base you have something to
Speaker 1: at least look forward to seeing. You know, the Lakers
Speaker 1: did this with Kobe those last couple of years. They
Speaker 1: weren't great teams, weren't contenders. But you know, you've got
Speaker 1: Kobe out there and you can watch Kobe play, but
Speaker 1: you know Damian Lillard, Damian Lollard is not at the
Speaker 1: end of his career like Kobe was. And I remember
Speaker 1: the first day that we did this show after I
Speaker 1: had left ESPN October of two thousand and seven, and
Speaker 1: we're in Los Angeles, and I remember the big story
Speaker 1: that day on our first day on KLAC in Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: and it had to do with Kobe Bryant maybe being
Speaker 1: traded to the Chicago Bulls, but the Bulls would not
Speaker 1: part with one player, reportedly Ben Gordon. That was it
Speaker 1: was like the Bulls could get Kobe, but they didn't
Speaker 1: want to give up Ben Gordon and I went, oh ouch.
Speaker 1: But you know, you start to look at these teams
Speaker 1: and these superstars. If I'm Damian Lillard, and he's always said, look,
Speaker 1: I don't want to join a championship team. We want
Speaker 1: to build something here. And I always I've always had
Speaker 1: great respect for Damon Lillard when he's been on the show.
Speaker 1: He's a great guest. I love the way he plays,
Speaker 1: He's not afraid, he's dynamic. But at some point, you go,
Speaker 1: you guys are letting me down. You guys are failing
Speaker 1: me because I'm I'm giving you everything I have, but
Speaker 1: what are you giving me in return? And I think
Speaker 1: you know, and if you're Chauncey Billups and you're looking
Speaker 1: around and you're going, man, we what this team once was,
Speaker 1: and now I take over this team? Who is this
Speaker 1: team anymore? CJ McCollum, I know that there was a
Speaker 1: lot of talk about him, maybe there would be a
Speaker 1: Ben Swimming Simmons swap for CJ McCollum. And at the time,
Speaker 1: people were saying, well, you know, you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: give up Lillard to get Ben Simmons I said, they're
Speaker 1: not giving up Damian Lillard for Ben Simmons. Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: I'm going back and looking at this two thousand and
Speaker 1: seven story because it was the biggest story in sports.
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant said it points likely to go to the
Speaker 1: Bulls in a trade. Guess what else held up the deal?
Speaker 1: Lual Dang. Lual Dang was a player out of Duke
Speaker 1: Right and Kobe had been talked to about the trade,
Speaker 1: and Kobe said, well, if lual Dang comes here, that
Speaker 1: that's not good. I want him to be in Chicago
Speaker 1: as one of the players I play with. And that
Speaker 1: held up the trade as one Oh my god, can
Speaker 1: you imagine how the Bulls got that? Age seven seven
Speaker 1: three d P Show Email undressdp oft Dan Patrick dot com,
Speaker 1: Twitter handle at dp show. The Lakers lost again last
Speaker 1: night and starting to run out of excuses. Here Lebron
Speaker 1: James and Anthony Davis in the lineup together for just
Speaker 1: the eighteenth time this season. Lakers are ten and eight
Speaker 1: in those games. Russell Westbrook, after the loss of the
Speaker 1: Bucks last night and after hearing the booze at home
Speaker 1: for him, here's the question and answer for us, it's
Speaker 1: the secondtary game that you've received booze after a turnover?
Speaker 1: Is that a hard experience for you? I mean, this
Speaker 1: is this is home for you, and like that was
Speaker 1: a special thing? Is that is that? Is that a
Speaker 1: hard thing for you to absorb? In anyway, it's a
Speaker 1: sign of respect, sign a respect. I don't mindset and
Speaker 1: how I think about this game and what I'm able
Speaker 1: to do for this game is not predicated on booze.
Speaker 1: I have a platform that I'm able to use to
Speaker 1: be able to do other things that God has blessed
Speaker 1: me what to be able to do, and I will
Speaker 1: continue to do those things. Regards to be boof of
Speaker 1: me here for me, cuss me out, call me names,
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter. Okay, if you're on the road,
Speaker 1: it's a sign of respect. Ross not at home, that's horror,
Speaker 1: I think. And what are the other things you're going
Speaker 1: to do? How about we just focus on one thing.
Speaker 1: Make a couple of shots. I just you know, it's
Speaker 1: the guy who you see this, the guy on the
Speaker 1: playground who keeps taking long shots, you know, and he's
Speaker 1: not making them, but he keeps taking those long shots.
Speaker 1: And then you go at some point, how about you
Speaker 1: bring it in a little bit. How about you try
Speaker 1: to go to the hoop. How about you get to
Speaker 1: the free throw line, how about and you shoot some lamps.
Speaker 1: Whatever it is. He keeps shooting those jumpers there, And
Speaker 1: yes he's ball dominant, and yes, I understand the game plan.
Speaker 1: What it was that kind of had load management on
Speaker 1: Lebron while he played games because Ruster in the regular
Speaker 1: season would take, you know, a lot of the time
Speaker 1: playmaking duties. It hasn't worked out here and it's not
Speaker 1: going to work out. Maybe they get into the playoffs,
Speaker 1: maybe they you know, do you know they threatened Phoenix
Speaker 1: in the first round of the playoffs, that that's who
Speaker 1: they meet up with, or they end up facing Golden State.
Speaker 1: Maybe they could throw a little scare in them and
Speaker 1: maybe they can beat a team in the first round.
Speaker 1: It just doesn't feel sustainable. And then I wondered last
Speaker 1: night I texted the Danets. It was they were moving
Speaker 1: towards halftime and they were down like twenty five or thirty,
Speaker 1: and I said, I hope Frank Vogel doesn't get fired
Speaker 1: at halftime. And then I wonder, even if you fire him,
Speaker 1: do you fire him just to what takeaway from what
Speaker 1: the product is that's not going to help you. You
Speaker 1: can make you can make the argument that Frank's rotations
Speaker 1: aren't very good, and people have had criticisms about that,
Speaker 1: and I can at least look at and go, okay,
Speaker 1: that's a fair assessment of the Lakers. The different lineups here,
Speaker 1: So the twenty seventh different lineup in fifty five games.
Speaker 1: It's not possible to do that for a team that
Speaker 1: you would think would be decent. And the eighteenth time
Speaker 1: this year that Davis, Lebron, and Westbrook all played together
Speaker 1: and they won ten of those games. They've lost there.
Speaker 1: But you know what, what the nets are worse? Lebron
Speaker 1: to say to say, let they ask what do you
Speaker 1: think about the losing that you guys watching nuts? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Watching the Nuts game? Hey, you think we're bad? How
Speaker 1: about the nets? That would have been good. That would
Speaker 1: have been a better answer, but he didn't. Okay. Lebron
Speaker 1: had this to say about the current Lakers and how
Speaker 1: they compare with the Bucks. Do I think we're gonna
Speaker 1: reach the level where Milwaukee is right now? Um? No?
Speaker 1: That was that was the one to end on me. No,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, are you gonna follow up this season. I
Speaker 1: will hope so, But right now, we didn't know. We
Speaker 1: can't get to where they are right now. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're the defending champions for a reason. And I guarantee
Speaker 1: if you would have asked teams coming out of bubble
Speaker 1: if they could get to the level whever we we're
Speaker 1: playing at when we want a championship, that said the same. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's an honest answer. But he's got he's got to
Speaker 1: maintain some zen or calmness here because Lebron has been
Speaker 1: he's seen it all, and this is where you go.
Speaker 1: Just let us kind of figure it out. Maybe we
Speaker 1: figured out we're not where Milwaukee is, They're not where
Speaker 1: Golden State is, They're not where Phoenix. I mean, there's
Speaker 1: probably ten to twelve teams that they're not on their
Speaker 1: level right now. Who would have thought that this Laker
Speaker 1: team would not be on Memphis's level, but they're not. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is an awkward question, and I don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: not at basketball expert. Would this team be better if
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook was just not on the team just by omission?
Speaker 1: Could you see that's team being better just by that
Speaker 1: or would you have to get something for him? Oh,
Speaker 1: you have to get something for him, But I don't
Speaker 1: want John Wall for Russell Westbrook. I guess what I'm
Speaker 1: saying is if he just wasn't in the lineup, would
Speaker 1: that Well, he's been benched. He got benched again last night,
Speaker 1: So that tells you what Frank Vogel think. You have
Speaker 1: to play him, but you don't want to continue to
Speaker 1: play him, and can you get something for him? And
Speaker 1: the answer is like, if you're a franchise, do you
Speaker 1: want him? Like, I don't know if anybody would go God,
Speaker 1: if we get Ross, that's not happening. Yeah, see, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think Lebron did a good job in that sound
Speaker 1: bite of holding back, because you could tell for a
Speaker 1: minute there he's like, oh is that what you want
Speaker 1: to hear? You know? And you're like, oh no, this
Speaker 1: dude's gonna have like not a meltdown, but he's gonna
Speaker 1: lose his cool. And then Insteady like unwound himself and
Speaker 1: just answered the question in a really honest way. The
Speaker 1: nets have dropped nine in a row. I don't know
Speaker 1: if James Harden's gonna get traded, doesn't feel like that,
Speaker 1: But if he is, what do you if he goes
Speaker 1: to Philly. You're gonna get Ben Simmons. If you're the Nets,
Speaker 1: do you get Seth Curry? Maybe trade deadline is tomorrow.
Speaker 1: But the Nets have been blown out their last three
Speaker 1: losses by twenty three, twenty and thirty five. You wouldn't
Speaker 1: think that they would have one of those losses this year.
Speaker 1: Felt a little stat of the daysh But apparently who Marvin, Marvin?
Speaker 1: It sounds like a stat of the day. Hello, Marvin,
Speaker 1: all right, out of the day, day comes, what the day?
Speaker 1: How's everything back there at the man cave? Marvin? Everything? Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: everything's good back here. Okay, didn't didn't mean to wake
Speaker 1: you up, you and Tyler and the back room guy.
Speaker 1: So everybody's good. Yeah, everybody's good. Everybody's happy. We all
Speaker 1: sleve it. Oh okay, because we had to get up
Speaker 1: early here in Los Angeles. All right, shot fired by
Speaker 1: the way, guests, who has a limerick today? He couldn't
Speaker 1: do the poll question today. He lost those responsibilities. He's
Speaker 1: got a big showdown on Friday with Ryan from Honolulu
Speaker 1: with the mock off mock headlines. Yes, yeah, so I
Speaker 1: have never I've never met Ryan before, never seen Ryan,
Speaker 1: but Ryan is going to be in studio and that
Speaker 1: Todd will have a mock off with headlines of what
Speaker 1: we think the super Bowl is going to be. So
Speaker 1: these will be Monday's headlines that will write on Friday.
Speaker 1: All right, so give me your Limerick Todd A dozen
Speaker 1: years in the Motor City with a lot more ugly
Speaker 1: than pretty. Now, Stafford's one win away from being king
Speaker 1: for a day for the Bengals, it would be a
Speaker 1: pity Okay, all right, that's not all. That's courtesy much
Speaker 1: more from the staff, my own guys that I've worked
Speaker 1: with every day. Yeah, not us. It was we felt guilty.
Speaker 1: We weren't applauding, and then all the people behind the
Speaker 1: scenes are applauding. So I appreciate you. Yeah, yes, there
Speaker 1: must be something in their contract. When they see Dan's
Speaker 1: hands clap, you also join in. That's likely what really goes.
Speaker 1: How about a couple of phone calls here Al Michael's
Speaker 1: will join us in a little bit. Andrew in Buffalo,
Speaker 1: Andrew and Buffalo. What is on your mind today? Andrew? Andrew? Andrew?
Speaker 1: Hey Dan, how's it going? Hey Andrew? Who are you
Speaker 1: talking to? Sorry about that? I was gonna work call,
Speaker 1: But you know, what do you do with laying on
Speaker 1: the on the Auburn game last night? Storming the court?
Speaker 1: I think it's important to understand that Arkansas made the
Speaker 1: Elite eight last year. Um, and so if we're gonna,
Speaker 1: you know, make rules for storming the court, they were
Speaker 1: a two point underdog, maybe Elite eight last year, like
Speaker 1: kind of act like you belong there. That being said,
Speaker 1: I really think that, you know, I would have loved
Speaker 1: to be in Arkansas last night. Looked like a great nightclub,
Speaker 1: tight appy that after the game. So I'm all for it.
Speaker 1: But well, maybe the Elite eight last year, like you
Speaker 1: were storming the court after being a two point underdog
Speaker 1: and wentn't at home? Thank you, thank you, Andrew? Good
Speaker 1: luck with work today. Uh, Brandon in Arkansas, Brandon, congratulations
Speaker 1: on the big win last night. He thanks Dan h
Speaker 1: five nine in a falling two forty five. Um that
Speaker 1: previous color there, Um, I don't really think he has
Speaker 1: his tone on what's going on here. Um. You know, Arkansas,
Speaker 1: we're a proud program, but we have had nothing to
Speaker 1: be grateful for in ten years since Petrino H. Then
Speaker 1: there was the Bilma in the two and the four
Speaker 1: win two two years of Chen Morris and then you
Speaker 1: want to talk about an Arkansas program. Yeah, but you're
Speaker 1: talking football though, Brandon, you're talking football. Muscleman did agree
Speaker 1: you up last year giving you an old I'm giving
Speaker 1: you an overall of just the state of things here.
Speaker 1: Now I'm getting to the basketball where we had ten
Speaker 1: years of Mike Anderson, where it was considered a successful
Speaker 1: season if you made the first round and lost. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, we've been getting for this and this is great.
Speaker 1: And I get what you're saying about it being a
Speaker 1: bad look, but it was very well, very much earned here,
Speaker 1: I know. But Brandon, my point was it was a
Speaker 1: great win. You can't turn off the lights and start
Speaker 1: a pyrotechnics type of celebration there fans running on the floor.
Speaker 1: Auburn's team is still on the floor. I mean, how
Speaker 1: about you wait, wait fifteen seconds, twenty seconds. I mean,
Speaker 1: we're just asking for something bad to go wrong, and
Speaker 1: it's not fair to that Auburn team trying to get
Speaker 1: off floor after losing that game. That's all you want
Speaker 1: to celebrate, Go go celebrate, but you know, don't try
Speaker 1: to validate. You know, the pyrotechnics there turning out the
Speaker 1: lights just not good. Update the pole results, Pauli, and
Speaker 1: then we'll take a break. Who would you bet? Who
Speaker 1: would you bet has the most Super Bowl appearances in
Speaker 1: the next decade. Pat Mahomes has taken the lead with
Speaker 1: forty four percent, Josh Allen twenty five percent, Joe Burrow
Speaker 1: twenty three percent, Justin Herbert eight percent. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: let's take a break. More phone calls coming up. Al

Speaker 1: will you be eating during Super Bowl fifty six? Dan?
Speaker 1: I love my partner. Chris Poland's worth is like a
Speaker 1: brother somehow, some way. He once said, I eat a
Speaker 1: whole meal during the game. Not true. I have a
Speaker 1: few junior mints, I have some grapes. I might have
Speaker 1: a snack, well, cookie, that's it. Chris is a guy
Speaker 1: who leaves like a horse before the game, Sushi, pasta,
Speaker 1: all of the rest. Okay, that is fake news. Okay,
Speaker 1: I will not be having a deal during the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Ye okay to the judges. So who won the bat? Well,
Speaker 1: I don't think a snack is a meal. I don't either, Fritzie, Hello,
Speaker 1: I'm a winner. I like how PAULI goes before, during,
Speaker 1: or after the Super Bowl. By the way, Al, on
Speaker 1: this date back in two thousand and six, you know
Speaker 1: what happened two thousand and six. I think I left
Speaker 1: Disney to go to NBC. Yep, yep, correct, And there
Speaker 1: was a rabbit involvement in a cartoon Rabbit and uh,
Speaker 1: you were ending a twenty year run on Monday Night Football.
Speaker 1: Now I'm just bringing that up no reason at all
Speaker 1: that you know, maybe you're joining another network or something
Speaker 1: on you know, close to this anniversary. Aaleh, I have,
Speaker 1: as you well know, but all of that behind me
Speaker 1: if you start thinking about other things. I promised myself
Speaker 1: this year not to be distracted, and I will not
Speaker 1: be distracted until Monday, when I can have a ton
Speaker 1: of distractions in my life. But I don't want anything
Speaker 1: before Sunday. Then I'm working like a maniac. I mean, look, well,
Speaker 1: for your television audience, I mean I have like nine
Speaker 1: thousand pages of information ready to go for this game,
Speaker 1: the best stories, but all of them will wind up,
Speaker 1: you know, on the cutting room floor, as they say,
Speaker 1: because as John Badden said years ago, become armed for war.
Speaker 1: We have everything available to us. And then, as John
Speaker 1: would say, a game breaks out and you do the game,
Speaker 1: but also, well do you prepare for a blowout? Well,
Speaker 1: I don't think you prepare for it. Necessarily a blow
Speaker 1: You prepare for the game period. You hope the game
Speaker 1: is great, and if it's a blow, wow, then we're
Speaker 1: ready to go in a different directions. It almost becomes
Speaker 1: a question. We laughed about it beca so we did
Speaker 1: have a blowout in the Christmas weekend game between Dallas
Speaker 1: and Washington, and then it became almost like talk radio,
Speaker 1: you're going back and forth. Fortunately for me, I've done
Speaker 1: ten Super Bowls and six of them have gone down
Speaker 1: to the very end, including the last four, And I
Speaker 1: looked at this way to day. I don't think the
Speaker 1: NFL has ever been hotter than it is right now today.
Speaker 1: I mean, people are just talking about these last six
Speaker 1: teams have been fantastic, and I'm just hoping that we
Speaker 1: get the lucky seven. And it's not like when you
Speaker 1: go to the crap table and you've got a great
Speaker 1: run going and then you throw a seven and the
Speaker 1: dealer says a seven out of line in due shooter.
Speaker 1: We don't need that, we need we need the lucky
Speaker 1: seven this week. How important is it for you to
Speaker 1: meet with coaches or quarterbacks to glean information from them?
Speaker 1: Very and we will. We're going out to see the
Speaker 1: Rams today. We get the Bengals tomorrow. We know the
Speaker 1: very well because we had them three times this year,
Speaker 1: We've had them several times over the past couple of seasons.
Speaker 1: We know them. So we'll see you know, McVeigh, and
Speaker 1: we'll see Stafford and some of the other guys today
Speaker 1: and then I think Christo was Zach Taylor a little
Speaker 1: bit because he lives in Cincinnati. I've met him once,
Speaker 1: don't know Burrow will meet him tomorrow. I think it's important.
Speaker 1: I think it's it's great because you know, you know
Speaker 1: enough about them from watching them and reading about them,
Speaker 1: and then you get to talk to them and I find,
Speaker 1: you know, the really good stuff that happens is you
Speaker 1: get a story that hasn't been told before going into
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. There's so many stories out there, millions
Speaker 1: and millions of you know, words have been written, and
Speaker 1: so much time has been spent on television and radio
Speaker 1: talking about it. You want to find something that's a
Speaker 1: little bit different. So hopefully that's what will happen. And
Speaker 1: that's why that's why it's very beneficial to meet with
Speaker 1: the principals. We always talk about players when they get
Speaker 1: to the postseason. But as a broadcaster, the amount of
Speaker 1: postseason games you call, what changes or and how does
Speaker 1: that prepare you better for the next one you do
Speaker 1: and the next one you do? It's you know what
Speaker 1: it's almost like when you're a player, Dan, you know,
Speaker 1: you do what got you there. So if you go,
Speaker 1: you know, in a different direction. I know, look, I
Speaker 1: understand the magnitude of the games, and especially the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: and people say, you know, one hundred million people are watching.
Speaker 1: You can't think about that. You want to break clearly.
Speaker 1: You want to get off to a nice start, get
Speaker 1: the game going, and very much like the players who
Speaker 1: are talking about, you know, the first time there's contact
Speaker 1: a couple of plays into the game, they're playing football
Speaker 1: and we're announcing football. So you don't want to have
Speaker 1: to think about all the extraneous stuff. Once the game
Speaker 1: gets underway, you say, within your lane. I mean, Chris
Speaker 1: and I have done a couple of hundred games together,
Speaker 1: and if we try to do something different or or
Speaker 1: go outside where we normally would go, why, why do
Speaker 1: you want to do that? So hopefully the game starts,
Speaker 1: we concentrate on the game. The game is closed all
Speaker 1: the way and all I moot for Dan is tripled
Speaker 1: over time. Can't get enough of this? How where are
Speaker 1: you of? I know the point spread? But prop bets
Speaker 1: a little bit, you know. I look, I've been the
Speaker 1: rational Can you know that? I'm the guy who's always
Speaker 1: talking about a point spread or the overrunder And I've
Speaker 1: sneaked to dinner through the years and a lot of
Speaker 1: people love it. And now of course I can come
Speaker 1: into front door because you've got DraftKings and all these
Speaker 1: other entities that are now involved with the national football
Speaker 1: You don't overdo it, though, I mean in terms of
Speaker 1: prop bets, no, I think that's that's two inside football.
Speaker 1: I think a few people aren't involved in that. So
Speaker 1: I looked at them the other day. I mean, there
Speaker 1: are eighteen million prop bets, So where do you go
Speaker 1: with that? I think you would be talking to a
Speaker 1: very very small sliver of the audience if you went there. Well,
Speaker 1: I didn't know if there was a prop vet if
Speaker 1: al Michaels will say the following yes, and there he goes.
Speaker 1: You know, that's interesting. I remember, well years ago there
Speaker 1: was a prop bet and I think the first game
Speaker 1: after the Flake days, and I saw it and it
Speaker 1: got a lot of play on the internet, and I
Speaker 1: think the over runder was two or two and a half,
Speaker 1: and I said, let's just get this out of the
Speaker 1: way to I went right to the over so and
Speaker 1: there he goes, you know, I can be bought dan
Speaker 1: one hundred out of the bottom of wine, but I
Speaker 1: can't be bought okay, steak dinner one hundred dollars. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: you can't have a steak dinner without one hundred dollars
Speaker 1: bottle one. No, but um, do you talk more to
Speaker 1: Chris prior to the game or less so you save
Speaker 1: it on the air. Now, you know, we're always We
Speaker 1: talked to each other at least a couple of times.
Speaker 1: We have our production meetings with Fredie Delli and Duessa Kaufer.
Speaker 1: Producer director Michelle Tafoya is working with listening at Katherine Tappers,
Speaker 1: so we're all kind of interconnected. We talked a lot
Speaker 1: to each other so that you know, we know the stories.
Speaker 1: We share stories with each other, and then we decide
Speaker 1: how we want to get there. But I mean, it's
Speaker 1: going to be like a regular game in that regard.
Speaker 1: This is the same thing we do during the regular season.
Speaker 1: As I say, even though this is the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: and it's a big, big, big deal, we do what
Speaker 1: we do during the course of the year. The fascination
Speaker 1: with Joe Burrow to be doing this in his second year,
Speaker 1: and to say he's ahead of schedule is a grand understatement,
Speaker 1: because even if they're on schedule, you wouldn't think the
Speaker 1: Bengals would be here. How big a story is that
Speaker 1: going to be on Sunday for your broadcasting? Well, very
Speaker 1: of course he's the quarterback with one of the teams,
Speaker 1: so obviously that becomes a big story right at the
Speaker 1: at the outset. But I think what I sensed during
Speaker 1: the championship game in Kansas City is that a lot
Speaker 1: of this country either I don't want to say necessarily
Speaker 1: fell in love, but we're fascinated by what the banks
Speaker 1: did they down twenty one three. Everybody's sinking up today.
Speaker 1: Mahomes is going back to the Super Bowl thir year
Speaker 1: in a row. It's Kansas City against whoever would win
Speaker 1: the RAM forty nine A game. And somehow, some way,
Speaker 1: I just sensed the way they came from behind. You know,
Speaker 1: for Burrow, nothing looks too big for him. I mean
Speaker 1: the way he stepped out of a couple of tackles
Speaker 1: when it looked like he was going to get sacked,
Speaker 1: running for first downs, doing what he did that day,
Speaker 1: winning an overtime, and just his body language and presence. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you look at it guy, and you think, well, this
Speaker 1: guy has been in the league pretender of years. But
Speaker 1: I think the country at that point, unless obviously you
Speaker 1: were rooting for Kansas City, kind of fell in love
Speaker 1: a little bit with the Bengals and went, wow, that's
Speaker 1: pretty cool. So that's the sense I get going into
Speaker 1: this game, and Borrow, of course, would be at the
Speaker 1: forefront of all of that. You remember what you thought
Speaker 1: when the Rams left Los Angeles? Yes, I do, because
Speaker 1: this is my hometown and I knew that in those
Speaker 1: years of doing Monday night football and every game was
Speaker 1: going to be a road game. Now I wouldn't even
Speaker 1: get a game in Anaheim. I understood it, though, because
Speaker 1: the problem in this city an area was that every
Speaker 1: stadium was a relic. And that's why the Raiders who
Speaker 1: had come down here moved out of the Cobblesseum. The
Speaker 1: Rose Bowl was not an NFL type of stadium. A
Speaker 1: beautiful setting, but not for the NFL. Anaheim Stadium was
Speaker 1: really a baseball stadium that they turned into a hybrid
Speaker 1: football stadium, So I understood it. I was not happy
Speaker 1: about it, but like everything else, these moves their money,
Speaker 1: or you know, follow the money. It's it's the old
Speaker 1: cliche about following the money, and that's what the Rams did.
Speaker 1: Saint Louis gave them a great deal, a much better
Speaker 1: deal than they had in a way. They went, as
Speaker 1: did the Raiders back to open at that same, very
Speaker 1: same point. Do you think Tom Brady's retired? If I
Speaker 1: had to bet, I would say yes. I know that
Speaker 1: there's some other things out there. After his podcast the
Speaker 1: other day, I didn't hear it, I read about it.
Speaker 1: I felt when we did the Rams Tampa game that
Speaker 1: he that was going to be I thought it was
Speaker 1: like sixty four thirty six that he would retire, he
Speaker 1: would step away, because he gave us an answer in
Speaker 1: terms of when I asked him before that game about
Speaker 1: the perfect ending, he said, it involves a Super Bowl
Speaker 1: might not be this year, and then he kind of
Speaker 1: went back and forth a lot. So I did think
Speaker 1: he was going to step away. I wasn't surprised when
Speaker 1: he stepped away. Now you've got this other thing out there,
Speaker 1: I would be. I would be surprised if he came back.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he won't, and I don't have any
Speaker 1: inside information about this stand. But if you know, I guess,
Speaker 1: say I've had to make a bet, I would say
Speaker 1: he's not coming back. But does it work for broadcasters
Speaker 1: when you're at the top of your game, and like
Speaker 1: you know, if you when how do you walk away?
Speaker 1: When do you walk away? Who tells you to walk away? Uh?
Speaker 1: I thought for me, I mean in broadcasting, if I
Speaker 1: couldn't do do it the way I had to do
Speaker 1: it and want to do it, and my brain began
Speaker 1: to leak a little bit. Let's put it that way,
Speaker 1: it would be time to walk away. And I've got
Speaker 1: some you know, people who are very very close to
Speaker 1: me who would be the first to tell me, as
Speaker 1: if I wouldn't know myself. For a player, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think it's a very hard thing to do to
Speaker 1: walk away, because to recreate the buzz you get playing
Speaker 1: in Super Bowls and doing what Tom did. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's going to have a really good looball after life.
Speaker 1: He's very smart, He's got a lot of things going.
Speaker 1: He can do any number of things, there's no question
Speaker 1: about that, and live a wonderful life. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: you can ever recreate the thrill, the thrill that an
Speaker 1: athlete can get when you're playing on the biggest stage
Speaker 1: that long. I mean, you can do several things in business,
Speaker 1: you can do things in broadcasting, but I'm not sure
Speaker 1: you can recreate that thrill. And that's why a lot
Speaker 1: of coaches sometimes will step away going to the broadcast
Speaker 1: movie and then go back because at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, if you're coaching, you look up at that
Speaker 1: scoreboard at the end of the game, you know what
Speaker 1: you did, did you win, did you lose? In broadcasting,
Speaker 1: what are you supposed to do? Go on the internet
Speaker 1: and find that that everybody looks you. Forget about it.
Speaker 1: It's great to talk to you about and that's always man.
Speaker 1: Always have fun. And you're eleventh super Bowl That ties

Speaker 1: of phone calls in here, Seth in New Orleans, Hey Seth,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind? ADP, how you do? But good? Yeah,
Speaker 1: as far as the Pelicans getting CJ. McCollum, what do
Speaker 1: you think the possibilities might be of trading Zion for
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard to come down here? And then also, what
Speaker 1: do you maybe think about Dennis Allen being the new
Speaker 1: coach of the Saints and Yollo? All right, thank you,
Speaker 1: thanks Seth. You know, the Dennis Allen hire was kind
Speaker 1: of nondescriptive. He's been there, and you know, maybe you're
Speaker 1: in a rebuild. I don't know, and maybe I don't
Speaker 1: know him, but he's been there. The big question is
Speaker 1: going to be your quarterback. That's all. Let me start there.
Speaker 1: I'm not as concerned about your head coach as I
Speaker 1: am who your quarterback is. And you have a pretty
Speaker 1: solid roster there. As far as trading Dame Lillard for Zion,
Speaker 1: I gotta know what's happening with Zion. And just because
Speaker 1: he's rehabbing in Portland doesn't mean I'll connect the dots
Speaker 1: and go maybe he stays in Portland. Plus, he's injured.
Speaker 1: I don't know when he's gonna be healthy. Let's see
Speaker 1: Jordan in South Dakota. Hi, Jordan, what's on your mind?
Speaker 1: Adpun six one? Two? They just a couple of things.
Speaker 1: One wanted to get everyone's thoughts on their favorite super
Speaker 1: Bowl commercial. And then two, it's my son, Grayson's third
Speaker 1: b day to day we always watch or whenever he's
Speaker 1: home six. So if I could just get a shout
Speaker 1: out from you in his favorite Dan at Fritzie, I
Speaker 1: will absolutely love it and appreciate it. Thanks. All right,
Speaker 1: a little shout out to Grayson there, Yeah, Grayson, all right,
Speaker 1: glad you're at tuned in? Thank you? John. Uh what
Speaker 1: was the other question he had? Favorite super Bowl commercial? Yea,
Speaker 1: what one that just popped in my head? I think
Speaker 1: it was just a couple of years ago. You know
Speaker 1: that actor Jason Momoa, he's like six six two twenty
Speaker 1: and just jacked. He took all of his muscles off.
Speaker 1: Yeah that was that was really creative and fun. I
Speaker 1: don't remember the product, which I guess I don't remember
Speaker 1: super Bowl commercials. I you know, somebody will bring him
Speaker 1: up and I'll go, oh, okay, But if you said, hey,
Speaker 1: your favorite super Bowl commercial, I'll go I don't know. Yeah.
Speaker 1: See was the one that was was that it was
Speaker 1: a big deal that would like deal, Yeah it was
Speaker 1: a big deal. Yeah, yeah, yesh. Wasn't there a carl
Speaker 1: Junior one that got star Charlotte McKinney. Charlotte McKinney was
Speaker 1: too hot for regular TV. Why why are you asking?
Speaker 1: It's a rhetorical question, Patrick and Arizona. Patrick, what's on
Speaker 1: your mind? Hey? Good, one of guys. How's they're going? Great? Yep, wonderful? Good?
Speaker 1: So hey, I heard Fritzie talking about riding a scooter earlier. Fritzie,
Speaker 1: you can't do that. Grown men do not belong on
Speaker 1: those things. I tweeted at the show and at you guys, Fritzie,
Speaker 1: Seaton and Paulie a photo of what happened to me
Speaker 1: in Nashville. It is ugly, it's graphic. It is seventeen
Speaker 1: stitches across my forehead because I was riding one of
Speaker 1: those scooters. Don't do it, bro All right? Well, thank you?
Speaker 1: Patrick gassed that. What he's leaving out of that story
Speaker 1: is that he wrote by somebody who grabbed his handlebar
Speaker 1: and made him fall. Oh, so that they go about
Speaker 1: what is it, seventeen miles per hour top in speed.
Speaker 1: That's not even people can run faster than that. I'm
Speaker 1: not getting on one of those scooters. I'm not I
Speaker 1: I you know in a previous lifetime, then I might
Speaker 1: do it, but I saw you zooming up the street
Speaker 1: with all the cars on it. I don't worry about myself.
Speaker 1: I worry about everybody around me. I did have an
Speaker 1: incident last night that got a little dicey. See I
Speaker 1: don't want to hear that. Yeah, because I told you
Speaker 1: not to get on the scooter coming back from dinner.
Speaker 1: The dude was clearly like on his phone texting or something,
Speaker 1: because I'm, you know, making my way down the street
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, this car starts veering right
Speaker 1: towards me, and I was like, and then he did
Speaker 1: the pullback and went back into his lane, and I
Speaker 1: may have yelled some choice words at the person. Yeah, point,
Speaker 1: I may take one today and take the restrictor played
Speaker 1: out that bad boy and get up to nineteen miles
Speaker 1: an hour. Well let's not do it's so much fun. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got on You know what I did yesterday? I
Speaker 1: got on a bicycle. That's it, just not stationary, had
Speaker 1: two wheel bicycle, drove you know, took it down all
Speaker 1: the way to Santa Monica. Didn't you feel like you
Speaker 1: were putting your life in danger? No? I did not.
Speaker 1: Why I didn't even have a helmet on. That's a
Speaker 1: crazy I was yesterday, but I was going about four
Speaker 1: miles an hour and if I would fall, I'd fall
Speaker 1: into the sand. That was it. And I had a
Speaker 1: nice time. Yes, you have a bell or a little basket?
Speaker 1: Had a bell in a basket? Felt okay with that too?
Speaker 1: On your left maybe I go. You know, but skating today?
Speaker 1: Can you bring your in lines? Did not, but you
Speaker 1: can rent them. I rented a bike yesterday. Go on.
Speaker 1: I had a little basket, pads, wrist pads. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was yeah, a little yeah, your wrist guards so you
Speaker 1: don't break it. Jesse in la Hi, Jess, good to
Speaker 1: talk to you again. What's on your mind? Butt? Hey, Pete, Hey,
Speaker 1: glad to have you guys on the west side of
Speaker 1: la Um. But I want to compliment you and tell
Speaker 1: you that yesterday you killed those interviews with the plane,
Speaker 1: Nick Carberry. Those are two of my favorite guys who
Speaker 1: get the interview, and I don't think you've ever had
Speaker 1: more contrasting back to back interviews in the History show.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna side note. On a side note, I see
Speaker 1: Michael River from time to time in my gym in Culver.
Speaker 1: That guy still throws up some serious weight. But hey,
Speaker 1: I did have a question for you about Lebron James.
Speaker 1: All right, you know with the dumpster fire that are
Speaker 1: my Sacramento Kings burning another three years, that seems like
Speaker 1: the only Jaygon at the NBA are the LA Lakers
Speaker 1: and kind of the mess they are. But g see
Speaker 1: a scenario now where Lebron goes back to Cleveland because
Speaker 1: that nucleus, he's not slowing down, and I believe he's
Speaker 1: a free agent so he wouldn't have to gut that
Speaker 1: roster at the general manager there and thanks for the
Speaker 1: phone called Jesse. I can't see him going back there.
Speaker 1: He's gonna go where his son is drafted. Now, Cleveland
Speaker 1: would draft him, and I brought that up, but I
Speaker 1: don't think he likes that owner at all, and to
Speaker 1: go back there and do something that would benefit him,
Speaker 1: I don't see that happening. But let's see where and
Speaker 1: if Brownie, maybe Bronnie, if he's not even drafted and
Speaker 1: then he signs as a free agent somewhere, you know
Speaker 1: that that could also be a possibility this day in
Speaker 1: sports history, Paul Dan I only got a couple Let's see.
Speaker 1: In eighteen ninety five, the first collegiate basketball game was played.
Speaker 1: The Minnesota State School of Agriculture defeated the Porkers of
Speaker 1: Hamlene College nine to three. Not a shoot out there,
Speaker 1: and then let's see. Nineteen thirty two, America entered the
Speaker 1: two man Bob Slen competition for the first time the
Speaker 1: Olympic Winter Games in Lake Plaza, and they won first time.
Speaker 1: So two thousand and six, Al Michaels joined NBC Sunday
Speaker 1: Night Football broadcast, which on Madden, ending a twenty year
Speaker 1: run on Monday Night Football. Let's go around the room
Speaker 1: findal results of the poll question. First of all, and
Speaker 1: then what we learned? Who would you bet on to
Speaker 1: be in the most Super Bowls over the next decade?
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes forty five percent. Justin Herwart just seven percent? Okay, Todd,
Speaker 1: what did you learn on today's award nominated program? Oh,
Speaker 1: Michaels doesn't eat a meal during the Super Bowl, just
Speaker 1: a few snacks here and there, right see an O'Connor.
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer has gigantic hands, but not as big as
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez as he that No, Sanchez has some pause there? Yeah, yeah, Pollywood,
Speaker 1: you learned shockingly, Carson Palmer said to me, you don't
Speaker 1: look like he played sports. He's gonna hurt. He's great,
Speaker 1: but it hurts Todd. What did I learn on today's program?
Speaker 1: I think we all are never walk into a bodybuilder
Speaker 1: accidentally at a party while wearing a three piece suit.
Speaker 1: Damn three piece. Getting a lot of mileage on that
Speaker 1: that story, that's awesome. I guess we're gonna have to
Speaker 1: get a shirt. Damn three piece. Uh. Let's see who's
