WEBVTT - Hour 2 – Black Monday, Ross Tucker

0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:03.560
<v Speaker 1>You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio.

0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:07.760
<v Speaker 2>It's our two on this Monday, Best and Worst of

0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:10.160
<v Speaker 2>the weekend. What you saw that you liked, you didn't like?

0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:13.920
<v Speaker 2>You just tuning in Jacksonville. Jaguars had moved on from

0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:18.599
<v Speaker 2>Doug Peterson, Patriots moving on from Gerrod Mayo. The Giants

0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:21.119
<v Speaker 2>are keeping their coaching staff. We don't know what the

0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:24.040
<v Speaker 2>Raiders are going to do. We'll talk to Albert Breer,

0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:27.840
<v Speaker 2>the Monday Morning quarterback, get his thoughts on who is

0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:32.560
<v Speaker 2>next and why. The Patriots after telling Gerrod Mayo, you're

0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:35.199
<v Speaker 2>our coach in waiting for five years, that all of

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:38.120
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, it's like you get married, and then all

0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, six months later, you go, we're getting

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:43.400
<v Speaker 2>a divorce, Like, wait, what happened?

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 3>What didn't you know?

0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 2>Maybe fire the coordinators instead of the head coach, and

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:52.600
<v Speaker 2>you found your quarterback in Drake may very puzzling. And

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:55.200
<v Speaker 2>before you say, well, you can't pass on Mike Brabel

0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 2>they did last year he was available. Then Brian Flores

0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:03.920
<v Speaker 2>coordinated with the Vikings. He was available. Then Grod Mayo

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:07.400
<v Speaker 2>is one and done. Antonio Pierce might be one and

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 2>done with the Raiders as well. Westin Wurst to the

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 2>weekend operators sitting by Tyler takes your phone calls each

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:16.080
<v Speaker 2>seven to seven three DP show. So the Broncos are

0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:19.839
<v Speaker 2>in their reward, they get to go to Buffalo where

0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:23.039
<v Speaker 2>they're nine nine and a half point underdogs. Bengals and

0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins are out. We wonder if Tyreek Hill is out

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.080
<v Speaker 2>out with the Dolphins. He took himself out of the

0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.040
<v Speaker 2>lineup late in the game. His head coach wasn't aware

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.400
<v Speaker 2>and did not give his blessing on that the Buccaneers

0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.160
<v Speaker 2>are in, Falcons are out, and the Lions get the

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:42.280
<v Speaker 2>number one seed in the NFC eight seven to seven

0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:44.920
<v Speaker 2>to three DP show, Seaton, would you update the poll

0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 2>results from our one and what's the question are we

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 2>going to go with in our two?

0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.240
<v Speaker 4>See, we got a few of them up here. More

0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 4>surprising Broncos are in the playoffs or the Bengals are not?

0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:57.040
<v Speaker 3>Right now?

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 4>Fifty nine percent have the Bengals not in the playoffs?

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 4>Who would you rather having the playoffs? The Bengals? Are

0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:04.480
<v Speaker 4>the Broncos right now? Seventy percent would rather have the Bengals?

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 3>Yes?

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 4>And then the Raiders should This is one Paul just

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:11.360
<v Speaker 4>threw out the Raiders. Should a trade up for Shador

0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:14.840
<v Speaker 4>Sanders or b keep the picks, sign Rogers, bring back

0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:15.800
<v Speaker 4>Devonte Adams.

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh my goodness.

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:24.840
<v Speaker 2>If those are my only options, I don't want to

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:28.960
<v Speaker 2>trade up for Schador Sanders, I cam Ward and shud

0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Door Sanders.

0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:30.040
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:33.400
<v Speaker 2>If they are day one starters, that doesn't mean they

0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.440
<v Speaker 2>don't develop into starters here.

0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 3>You know, look at Bryce Young.

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 2>Remember Carolina, there were there were talks, there were rumors,

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:46.600
<v Speaker 2>there were reports they were fielding trade offers for Bryce Young.

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:51.360
<v Speaker 2>I said, what are you doing? He's a kid, he's

0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.320
<v Speaker 2>learning all of a sudden. You don't see what you

0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:57.560
<v Speaker 2>think you're supposed to see or c. J. Stroud is

0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 2>far more than what you have. Therefore you going to

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:06.680
<v Speaker 2>move on. First two months, Bryce Young had three touchdowns,

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:10.360
<v Speaker 2>six interceptions, so they benched him, and I said, yes,

0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.959
<v Speaker 2>let him sit, let him understand, and then next time

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:18.359
<v Speaker 2>around then you'll get a better assessment. The last two

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 2>months twelve touchdowns, three interceptions, Let him learn, give him time.

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:29.960
<v Speaker 2>You are bad. It's it's not a good situation as

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:33.400
<v Speaker 2>far as talent goes. But I thought he played, really

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:36.440
<v Speaker 2>he played with confidence, and it looked like he actually

0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 2>understood concepts. There you get to the line of scrimmage,

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 2>you might change something you're comfortable. Anthony Richardson is not

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:48.160
<v Speaker 2>there yet, but I said the same thing. Sit him down. Now,

0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 2>he didn't take himself out of the game. That's not good.

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 2>But he is young, you know, whether twenty one or

0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 2>twenty two years of age. You know, Bo Nicks is

0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:02.720
<v Speaker 2>twenty four, Jaydon Daniels probably twenty four. They've got experience.

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 2>These guys don't, certainly Anthony Richardson, But you know the

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 2>cold situation. They're keeping their coaching staff in place, and

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:15.000
<v Speaker 2>the Giants are keeping their coaching staff in place as well.

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Marvin and Bryce show's got a ton of confidence.

0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:19.720
<v Speaker 5>Now did you see the look away touchdown pass.

0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:22.320
<v Speaker 3>He went Steph Curry? It was great.

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.520
<v Speaker 2>You know when Steph would take the shot and turn around,

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 2>that's what he did. Now, Lamar did it on Saturday.

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:29.400
<v Speaker 2>So here's Bryce young one.

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:30.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'll do that too.

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.200
<v Speaker 2>He throws the pass and turn around, turns around and

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 2>then raises his hand signaling touchdown. Pretty good. Now I

0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:42.800
<v Speaker 2>don't want that, but I thought it was entertaining. Yes,

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Paul that play makes me nervous.

0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:48.280
<v Speaker 6>Yes, someone's gonna throw a strike and you did your job,

0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.760
<v Speaker 6>and you're gonna do the turnaround Larry Bird to the

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:52.600
<v Speaker 6>sky and your guy's gonna drop it.

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but Larry had built up a reputation as hey

0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 2>three point shooting contest. Fingers going up in the air.

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.159
<v Speaker 2>You guys are playing for second place. You're Bryce Young

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:03.800
<v Speaker 2>and you're playing in Carolina.

0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:04.800
<v Speaker 7>All right?

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at TP show.

0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:09.719
<v Speaker 3>Good morning.

0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.159
<v Speaker 2>If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 2>app and our radio affiliates around the country. iHeartRadio, Fox

0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Sports Radio. Odds to be the number one overall pick

0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:25.479
<v Speaker 2>according to DraftKings this morning, Shador Sanders is your favorite.

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:31.160
<v Speaker 2>Then it's Cam Ward, then it's Travis Hunter. The Titans

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:36.039
<v Speaker 2>looks like they will draft a quarterback Will Levis. You know,

0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.599
<v Speaker 2>they gave him an opportunity. I just didn't think he

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.599
<v Speaker 2>was consistent enough to be a starting quarterback. And it

0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 2>might be one of those and we see this where

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:48.080
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't work in one situation and then you go

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 2>to another team you're a backup quarterback, and then you

0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:52.719
<v Speaker 2>get your chance and then maybe it does work for

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.839
<v Speaker 2>Will left. Will Levis was right out of central casting.

0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.680
<v Speaker 2>If we were doing a TV movie on the Titans,

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 2>you'd go, well, we're going to cast Will Levis. That's

0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 2>the way it felt. And that team is nondescript. If

0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.680
<v Speaker 2>you want to bring in Shador Sanders, you're certainly going

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:14.160
<v Speaker 2>to bring into personality, Travis Hunter and cam Ward those

0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 2>are the three favorites to be the number one overall pick.

0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.919
<v Speaker 2>All right, do we have another firing in the NFL?

0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:23.479
<v Speaker 3>Paul, We do.

0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.600
<v Speaker 6>It's not a head coaching firing, but it's a surprising

0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:29.159
<v Speaker 6>firing because this gentleman was considered. He's one of the

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:30.599
<v Speaker 6>more You know, when you watch the games, they always

0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.400
<v Speaker 6>say defensive coordinator blank, and they mentioned his name. This

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 6>guy's mentioned all the time as a future head coaching candidate.

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:41.560
<v Speaker 6>The Bengals have fired defensive coordinator lou An Arumo. Oh,

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:43.039
<v Speaker 6>he's catching the blame.

0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:48.200
<v Speaker 2>And I remember last year you had analyst, you had

0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:51.080
<v Speaker 2>insiders saying he deserves a head coaching position.

0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:53.680
<v Speaker 3>Boy, that changes quickly.

0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:58.919
<v Speaker 2>Man, our defense is really good and then your defense

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.240
<v Speaker 2>is really bad because you can't put to you. Can

0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:08.000
<v Speaker 2>we find out statistically a team that's had the top quarterback,

0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:12.720
<v Speaker 2>in the top wide receiver, and the overall leader in

0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:16.240
<v Speaker 2>sacks and they don't make the playoff. I don't know

0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:20.160
<v Speaker 2>if that's ever been done before. Joe Burrow led in

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:23.840
<v Speaker 2>passing yards and touchdowns, Jamar Chase won the triple Crown,

0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:28.920
<v Speaker 2>and Trey Hendrickson ended up with seventeen and a half sacks.

0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:32.120
<v Speaker 3>That's amazing.

0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.480
<v Speaker 2>But when you lose your first three, you mail it

0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:38.480
<v Speaker 2>in that first week. You're acting like the Patriots game

0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 2>is a preseason game, and it costs you. You look

0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:45.040
<v Speaker 2>back on some of these losses early in the season,

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:47.480
<v Speaker 2>and this is what we talk about every year because

0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 2>you can say, well, it's early. You know it's a

0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 2>loss that's early. You're going to make up for that. No,

0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:55.960
<v Speaker 2>you can't. You can try. But how many teams are

0:07:56.960 --> 0:08:00.000
<v Speaker 2>going to have nine wins or ten wins or eight wins.

0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:03.360
<v Speaker 2>It feels like the league is full of that. Although

0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:07.000
<v Speaker 2>this was historically a great season, this is the first

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 2>time since twenty twelve every playoff team has at least

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 2>ten wins. Now they've gone to seventeen games, but still,

0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:18.080
<v Speaker 2>since twenty twelve, every team has at least ten wins

0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:21.760
<v Speaker 2>and then the situation you have the Vikings on the road,

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:23.320
<v Speaker 2>they're going to the Rams.

0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:26.840
<v Speaker 3>What could go wrong? Yes, Marmon.

0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:29.680
<v Speaker 5>Do you think they should change the rules where if

0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.880
<v Speaker 5>you win the division or it should go by best records,

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.360
<v Speaker 5>where if you win, you don't get an automatic home

0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:40.640
<v Speaker 5>playoff win home playoff game, you just get into the playoffs.

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 2>So is this like the college football playoffs where Boise

0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.840
<v Speaker 2>State and Arizona State shouldn't get first round bys?

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:47.440
<v Speaker 7>Correct?

0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay, what if you did? If I did, if you

0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:59.160
<v Speaker 2>win your division home field advantage, and then I go

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.880
<v Speaker 2>by record after that wins.

0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:04.959
<v Speaker 3>Could you do that?

0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Could you do winning records strength to schedule type thing?

0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.400
<v Speaker 2>How you see the rest of the playoffs?

0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:16.600
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Marvin, I would just put the best records get

0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:17.520
<v Speaker 5>a home playoff game.

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:20.640
<v Speaker 3>Oh, so it doesn't matter if you win your division?

0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:24.559
<v Speaker 5>No, because sometimes some divisions are strong one year and

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:25.400
<v Speaker 5>sometimes they're not.

0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:33.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Yes, todd Aalbert Breer not able to join us.

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.120
<v Speaker 8>He's on the phone. Maybe there's some kind of breaking news.

0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:36.600
<v Speaker 8>He's going to join us. Top up next hour.

0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:36.880
<v Speaker 9>Now.

0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 3>Oh he's busy. Oh so he's too busy for us.

0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:45.439
<v Speaker 2>He's probably doing his job, his actual job being the

0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:49.640
<v Speaker 2>Monday morning quarterback. Ross Tucker is going to have time

0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:51.280
<v Speaker 2>for us coming up here in a little will not

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:53.360
<v Speaker 2>be too busy to Joe. He will not I load

0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:53.800
<v Speaker 2>you guys.

0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:57.840
<v Speaker 7>Uh so uh.

0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:01.000
<v Speaker 2>The Cincinnati Bengals have moved on from there defensive coordinator.

0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:05.080
<v Speaker 2>According to Adam Schefter, still waiting to see what happens

0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:08.400
<v Speaker 2>in Dallas with Mike McCarthy. There were a lot of reports,

0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:13.800
<v Speaker 2>go figure, it's the Cowboys that and I felt probably

0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:17.240
<v Speaker 2>the last two months they were keeping Mike McCarthy, and

0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:18.200
<v Speaker 2>then you had this.

0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:19.840
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't a report.

0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:24.040
<v Speaker 2>It was that Mike McCarthy could be interested in the

0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Chicago Bears.

0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.880
<v Speaker 3>So if you're going to have you can't report on

0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:29.640
<v Speaker 3>a belief.

0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 2>Even when Adam Schefter or you know, any of these

0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:36.440
<v Speaker 2>other insiders give you a hey, that could happen, or

0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 2>they're leaning tour like, you need a report because if

0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:42.559
<v Speaker 2>they say it now, all of a sudden.

0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:43.480
<v Speaker 3>It becomes a report.

0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:48.080
<v Speaker 2>And a lot of times, you know, we'll have insiders say, hey,

0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:50.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to say this, I'm going to say it again.

0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:52.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm not reporting this. This is my opinion.

0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Even then people still will say did you hear what

0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:00.120
<v Speaker 2>such and such had to say. Insiders have to be

0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:04.599
<v Speaker 2>careful with this because you may want to be a personality,

0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:09.440
<v Speaker 2>but your job is to be an informational ATM. That's it.

0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:13.959
<v Speaker 2>Do that, but don't be it. Hey, you know, leaning

0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:18.520
<v Speaker 2>towards or that could happen. Even if you say you know,

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:22.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm hearing and look, I've been in this business for

0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:24.960
<v Speaker 2>a long long time. All you have to do is

0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:28.240
<v Speaker 2>say sources doesn't mean you have to you have them,

0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 2>And I'm going to guess there are quite a few

0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:34.880
<v Speaker 2>people who have reports who don't have sources. It becomes

0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:39.440
<v Speaker 2>an opinion, and that's where it gets dangerous.

0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:41.960
<v Speaker 3>Hey, sources, and it's always sources.

0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:44.200
<v Speaker 7>Now.

0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:46.400
<v Speaker 2>When I worked at ESPN, you had to have two sources.

0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:50.520
<v Speaker 2>Since then, there are times my college football source is

0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:54.280
<v Speaker 2>one guy that I trust and he's been dead on

0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't usually follow it up and go let me

0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:00.680
<v Speaker 2>get a second source. There's certain people have track record

0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:04.920
<v Speaker 2>with and I trust them. But if you say sources, okay,

0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:10.400
<v Speaker 2>like I can't argue with sources, can you. I had

0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:14.040
<v Speaker 2>a source yesterday sent me a text, Hey, keep an

0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:17.079
<v Speaker 2>eye on the colts. They might be blowing it up

0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:21.679
<v Speaker 2>now that might be something the fans want. I'm surprised

0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Chris Ballard survive, Shane Steiken, you know, they kept their jobs,

0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.080
<v Speaker 2>and I think because of Jim Irsay and his health.

0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:31.439
<v Speaker 3>Who's running the team.

0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:35.280
<v Speaker 2>Pat McAfee came out scorched earth on the Colts a

0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:38.480
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks ago, which gave me the feeling of

0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:41.360
<v Speaker 2>he must know something, that they're going to do something,

0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:45.240
<v Speaker 2>and they didn't do anything. Which I'm not rooting for

0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:48.640
<v Speaker 2>anybody who lose their job, but there are certain situations

0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:54.360
<v Speaker 2>where I'm surprised people hold on to their jobs. Hass

0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:57.480
<v Speaker 2>in South Bend, I hass what's on your mind today?

0:12:58.760 --> 0:12:59.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm morning, guys.

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 10>Unfortunately I don't have a best or worse because I

0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:06.880
<v Speaker 10>didn't want any sports this weekend. But I got two

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:10.679
<v Speaker 10>interesting questions. If you guys can answer for may please,

0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 10>And it's about Notre Dame football. Why are they independent?

0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:19.920
<v Speaker 10>You got their basketball team and the ACC and I

0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:21.280
<v Speaker 10>believe the hockey team.

0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:25.559
<v Speaker 2>Is a hus It's money. They got control. They got

0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:29.080
<v Speaker 2>money that they have their own TV network. That's why

0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:29.559
<v Speaker 2>they do it.

0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:33.280
<v Speaker 10>Okay, Now, let's say by some act of God, they

0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:38.800
<v Speaker 10>decided to go to a conference. Where do you guys

0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:40.720
<v Speaker 10>think would be a good fit for them?

0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think the Big Ten is reached out to them.

0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:49.560
<v Speaker 2>ACC has reached out to them, But there's no upside there.

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.800
<v Speaker 2>They are pretty much with a twelve team maybe fourteen

0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:56.280
<v Speaker 2>team playoff. They're guaranteed if they're Notre Dame they'll make

0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:59.800
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs. Well, they made eighteen million dollars last week.

0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't have to share that with anybody. All these

0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:04.720
<v Speaker 2>other teams got to share that money with other teams

0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:08.400
<v Speaker 2>in their conference. So you get standalone games, you get

0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:12.480
<v Speaker 2>a TV network, NBC in Peacock, there's no reason to

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Now you might say, what, oh what about strength to schedule?

0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Are you going to be able to still play some

0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:21.320
<v Speaker 2>of these schools?

0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:22.240
<v Speaker 7>Yeah?

0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:25.040
<v Speaker 3>I mean are they going to lose out on USC?

0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Are they going to lose out on a couple of

0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:29.400
<v Speaker 2>these normal teams rivalry games?

0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:30.000
<v Speaker 3>Michigan?

0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:32.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I hope not, but that seems to be

0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:36.560
<v Speaker 2>inevitable here. But if youre Notre Dame, you're still going

0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.320
<v Speaker 2>to be in the playoffs. There's still a good draw

0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:42.560
<v Speaker 2>for TV and that's why they're going to stay as

0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:46.200
<v Speaker 2>an independent, not going to change By the way, looking

0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.760
<v Speaker 2>at the latest lines for the games later on this week,

0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame one and a half point favored against Penn State.

0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:55.080
<v Speaker 2>Ohio State is still a six point favorite against Texas.

0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:57.720
<v Speaker 2>Ross Tucker will join us coming up more of your

0:14:57.760 --> 0:14:59.880

<v Speaker 3>That's Cavino and Rich.

0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:13.400
<v Speaker 2>The Bengals are the only team to have the passing leader,

0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:18.200
<v Speaker 2>the receiving leader, and the sack leader in the same seasons.

0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:21.680
<v Speaker 2>This since nineteen eighty two when they started keeping sacks

0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:25.480
<v Speaker 2>as his stat and then you don't make the playoffs,

0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:34.520
<v Speaker 2>so Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, Trey Hendrickson, passing, receiving, sack

0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:37.920
<v Speaker 2>leader and nothing to show for it, and their defensive

0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:42.160
<v Speaker 2>coordinator was just fired about fifteen minutes ago. Ross Tucker

0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:45.360
<v Speaker 2>CBS Sports Westwood One and a host of the Ross

0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.040
<v Speaker 2>Tunker Football podcast. He was on the call for the

0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:51.600
<v Speaker 2>Texans and the Titans yesterday on CBS and he'll be

0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:55.960
<v Speaker 2>working Steelers Ravens Saturday night and then Sunday's got the

0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:59.640
<v Speaker 2>Packers in the Eagles. The man is always working. Let

0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:02.880
<v Speaker 2>me start with the Titans here. Is there any chance

0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.880
<v Speaker 2>now with the number one overall pick that they won't

0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:07.720
<v Speaker 2>go quarterback in the draft?

0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:12.040
<v Speaker 7>The only way I can see that, Dan is if

0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:16.720
<v Speaker 7>they really like one of the other options, maybe that's

0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.600
<v Speaker 7>Sam Darnold, and they want to pay for them. I

0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:22.399
<v Speaker 7>think that's tough though. That would surprise me.

0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:26.280
<v Speaker 3>You know, another year.

0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:28.480
<v Speaker 7>Was that Levis?

0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:30.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, would they give him another year?

0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:33.560
<v Speaker 7>No? No, I don't think so. Okay, that would I

0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:37.360
<v Speaker 7>mean they sat him down at two different times this year.

0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:41.000
<v Speaker 7>He started the year, then they sat him down, he

0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:44.280
<v Speaker 7>had an injury whatever for a few weeks, came back,

0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:47.360
<v Speaker 7>had a couple of pretty good games, but then reverted

0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:50.760
<v Speaker 7>back with the turnovers that I don't think that they

0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:53.240
<v Speaker 7>will do that. I mean, if they did that, if

0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:58.360
<v Speaker 7>Levis came back, there would be a veteran of some significant,

0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:02.840
<v Speaker 7>some consequence on the with him, like a Sam Darnold,

0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:05.240
<v Speaker 7>like someone that you could sell to the fan base

0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:09.520
<v Speaker 7>as a legitimate starter. I just think when you get

0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:11.600
<v Speaker 7>that number one overall pick, and we showed it five

0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:14.880
<v Speaker 7>times during the broadcast, yesterday. You know how bad teams

0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:17.960
<v Speaker 7>the people put the bags on their head, Dan one

0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:20.280
<v Speaker 7>guy had a bag on his head, but on the

0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:22.840
<v Speaker 7>front of the bag was a picture of Shador Sanders.

0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:25.600
<v Speaker 7>That was what was on the front of the bag.

0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:28.040
<v Speaker 7>So I think you get the number one pick. I

0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.880
<v Speaker 7>think people want you to take a quarterback, whether that's

0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:34.080
<v Speaker 7>cam Ward or Shador Sanders or whoever. That doesn't mean

0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:38.600
<v Speaker 7>they're going to I think it's really hard not to

0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:42.520
<v Speaker 7>because the fans get so excited about being able to

0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:45.439
<v Speaker 7>have your pick number one guy, despite the fact that

0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:47.800
<v Speaker 7>people are not in love with this quarterback class.

0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:53.120
<v Speaker 2>If you're Dion, do you want will you let your

0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:56.080
<v Speaker 2>son go to an organization like the Titans.

0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:01.840
<v Speaker 7>It's a really good question too. You know, they had

0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:06.239
<v Speaker 7>a pretty good track record and history of winning for

0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:08.320
<v Speaker 7>a long time. You know, when I was playing, they

0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:11.520
<v Speaker 7>were always good. Even Vrabel had them going for a

0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:15.239
<v Speaker 7>couple of years. They've been down there, like, I think

0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:20.320
<v Speaker 7>it's three straight years with at least ten losses. I

0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:23.200
<v Speaker 7>don't know. I guess the way I look at something

0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:27.199
<v Speaker 7>like that is what's his other alternatives that are so

0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:32.440
<v Speaker 7>much better? The Raiders, the Giants? I mean, I guess

0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:35.359
<v Speaker 7>the answer is yes. I don't. You know, maybe the

0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:40.879
<v Speaker 7>Raiders and Giants have bigger fan bases, or you know,

0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:46.960
<v Speaker 7>better tradition over a long stretch, or whatever branding, whatever

0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:49.199
<v Speaker 7>you want to look at, But if you look at

0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:51.920
<v Speaker 7>the way they've been run lately, I don't think they're

0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:53.359
<v Speaker 7>any better than the Titans.

0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:57.679
<v Speaker 2>Well I was wondering Carolina or the Titans better organization

0:19:57.800 --> 0:19:58.479
<v Speaker 2>moving forward?

0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:04.200
<v Speaker 7>Well, I guess I would say Carolina right now because

0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:06.280
<v Speaker 7>of the way Bryce Young played the second half of

0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:08.439
<v Speaker 7>the year. I mean, it looks like they have their quarterback,

0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:12.840
<v Speaker 7>which is just fascinating. I mean, he was bad bad

0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:16.280
<v Speaker 7>as a rookie. He wasn't just bad, he was bad bad,

0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:20.359
<v Speaker 7>and then even earlier this year he was still not good.

0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:23.160
<v Speaker 7>I mean they went to Andy Dalton for a reason.

0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:26.439
<v Speaker 7>There's a lesson there. I think that maybe we need

0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:28.359
<v Speaker 7>to have a little bit more patience with these guys,

0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:31.119
<v Speaker 7>Maybe we need to give them more opportunities. I mean,

0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:35.960
<v Speaker 7>just think about Dan Baker Mayfield or Sam Donald. Both

0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:39.680
<v Speaker 7>of those guys are on their fourth team and they

0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:45.880
<v Speaker 7>both are definitely top fifteen, arguably top ten starting quarterbacks

0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:50.359
<v Speaker 7>in the NFL. They both had tremendous, tremendous years with

0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:55.000
<v Speaker 7>their fourth NFL teams after being top five picks. So

0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:58.080
<v Speaker 7>would that have happened to Baker State in Cleveland or

0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:01.720
<v Speaker 7>Donald's day with the Jets. We don't think so. Probably not,

0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:05.639
<v Speaker 7>but it still should tell us something, inform us something

0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:08.400
<v Speaker 7>about maybe being more patient, Maybe you should give these

0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:10.240
<v Speaker 7>guys a third and fourth.

0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:14.520
<v Speaker 2>Chance fill in the blank. Next season, Aaron Rodgers will be.

0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:26.000
<v Speaker 7>Starting at quarterback for a disappointing team. I think that

0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:28.400
<v Speaker 7>would be the way I would describe it. I don't

0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:32.919
<v Speaker 7>think anybody wants him to be their quarterback. You know,

0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:35.800
<v Speaker 7>you go down the list. I think they'd rather have

0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:39.000
<v Speaker 7>Darnald In free agency, I think some of them would

0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:43.680
<v Speaker 7>rather draft the young guy. I think Aaron Rodgers almost

0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:48.919
<v Speaker 7>becomes like playing C at this point. And so a

0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:54.159
<v Speaker 7>franchise that strikes out in free agency and or doesn't

0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:56.280
<v Speaker 7>have a chance in the draft to get the kind

0:21:56.280 --> 0:22:00.199
<v Speaker 7>of quarterback they really want, there will be a a

0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:04.639
<v Speaker 7>desperate times call for desperate measures franchise out there that

0:22:04.800 --> 0:22:07.520
<v Speaker 7>will bring in Aaron Rodgers because they know they have

0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:09.680
<v Speaker 7>to win this year. I mean, it's funny. I don't

0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:12.360
<v Speaker 7>think they'll do this, But the first team that came

0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:16.160
<v Speaker 7>in my mind there is the Giants, right like Joe

0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:19.600
<v Speaker 7>Shane and Brian da Ball have to win this year.

0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:22.080
<v Speaker 7>I'm a little surprised they're both coming back. I thought

0:22:22.160 --> 0:22:25.280
<v Speaker 7>Dabell would, I didn't think Shane would. But they have

0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:27.400
<v Speaker 7>to win this year. I don't think that the Merra

0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:30.520
<v Speaker 7>family would want them to bring in Aaron Rodgers. But

0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:32.639
<v Speaker 7>if you gotta win, where else are they going to

0:22:32.680 --> 0:22:33.360
<v Speaker 7>get a quarterback?

0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:37.160
<v Speaker 3>He can keep his house, have to move.

0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:40.840
<v Speaker 2>We're talking to Ross Tuckers, CBS Sports, Westwood One. He'll

0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:44.359
<v Speaker 2>be working the sideline Steelers Ravens at Saturday night and

0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:46.560
<v Speaker 2>then in the booth for the Packers and the Eagles

0:22:46.560 --> 0:22:51.280
<v Speaker 2>on Sunday. This game for the Steelers, how important is this?

0:22:51.400 --> 0:22:53.040
<v Speaker 3>Now? I know Mike Tomlin.

0:22:53.560 --> 0:22:56.439
<v Speaker 2>They never have whispers or rumors that he could be

0:22:56.520 --> 0:22:59.160
<v Speaker 2>fired or they move on from him. But if they're

0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:02.199
<v Speaker 2>one and done again in the postseason, and this is

0:23:02.200 --> 0:23:05.600
<v Speaker 2>a Hall of Fame coach, but when the last time

0:23:05.600 --> 0:23:10.240
<v Speaker 2>they won a playoff game twenty seventeen and Russell Wilson's future,

0:23:12.040 --> 0:23:15.560
<v Speaker 2>what hinges on this outcome this weekend?

0:23:16.160 --> 0:23:19.320
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I think it's gigantic. I think it could impact

0:23:19.440 --> 0:23:24.479
<v Speaker 7>both guys, certainly Russell Wilson more than Mike Tomlin. And

0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:27.320
<v Speaker 7>I'll say this too, if Zay Flowers can't play for

0:23:27.400 --> 0:23:32.040
<v Speaker 7>the Ravens, that is significant. I think it sounds weird

0:23:32.040 --> 0:23:34.880
<v Speaker 7>to say this, Dan, the Steelers at least to need

0:23:34.920 --> 0:23:38.360
<v Speaker 7>to make it competitive. I mean, they were non competitive

0:23:38.920 --> 0:23:41.960
<v Speaker 7>three games in a row there during that stretch where

0:23:42.040 --> 0:23:45.280
<v Speaker 7>they had to play the Ravens, the Eagles, the Chiefs,

0:23:45.520 --> 0:23:49.119
<v Speaker 7>it was clear that they were nowhere near that level

0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:52.360
<v Speaker 7>of those teams. I don't think they need to necessarily

0:23:52.400 --> 0:23:55.720
<v Speaker 7>beat the Ravens, but it's got to be a classic

0:23:55.800 --> 0:23:59.080
<v Speaker 7>Steelers Ravens game that comes down to the end. I'll

0:23:59.119 --> 0:24:01.760
<v Speaker 7>say this too because in central Pennsylvania now, Dan like

0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:05.400
<v Speaker 7>Hershey right, So there's a lot of Steelers fans here,

0:24:05.760 --> 0:24:08.760
<v Speaker 7>and I talk with them in Pittsburgh too. There is

0:24:08.880 --> 0:24:14.480
<v Speaker 7>no greater disconnect in the NFL than how people feel

0:24:14.560 --> 0:24:19.919
<v Speaker 7>nationally about Mike Tomlin versus how Steelers fans feel about

0:24:19.960 --> 0:24:20.600
<v Speaker 7>Mike Tomlin.

0:24:21.160 --> 0:24:21.760
<v Speaker 3>A lot of.

0:24:21.680 --> 0:24:25.600
<v Speaker 7>Steelers fans want him gone. They've won him gone for

0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:30.520
<v Speaker 7>a while. They do not think he's nearly what the

0:24:30.560 --> 0:24:32.720
<v Speaker 7>rest of us all seem to think he is. It's

0:24:32.760 --> 0:24:35.000
<v Speaker 7>really fascinating because and you can say about a lot

0:24:35.040 --> 0:24:37.639
<v Speaker 7>of fan bases not like this. I mean, it's like

0:24:38.240 --> 0:24:41.920
<v Speaker 7>whole are opposites when you talk to Steelers fans about

0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:44.640
<v Speaker 7>Mike Tomlin versus any other person about Mike Tomlin.

0:24:44.720 --> 0:24:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think the national conversation and analysts are very

0:24:48.880 --> 0:24:52.399
<v Speaker 2>careful what they say about Mike Tomlin Nationally. You know,

0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:55.720
<v Speaker 2>it's always great respect. You know, he wins, they always

0:24:55.720 --> 0:24:58.200
<v Speaker 2>have winning records, They make the all of these things.

0:24:58.800 --> 0:25:02.720
<v Speaker 2>But if you're a Pittsburgh fan and you have another

0:25:02.800 --> 0:25:08.000
<v Speaker 2>one and done, as much as you may love his

0:25:08.080 --> 0:25:10.880
<v Speaker 2>demeanor and his approach and tough guy, and he won

0:25:10.920 --> 0:25:13.360
<v Speaker 2>a super Bowl, and you know they don't fire, I mean,

0:25:13.560 --> 0:25:17.840
<v Speaker 2>after a while, you know I got to start. I

0:25:17.920 --> 0:25:20.280
<v Speaker 2>have to at least question that you know that.

0:25:20.480 --> 0:25:25.000
<v Speaker 7>Well, look, the streak of winning records is impressive and

0:25:25.040 --> 0:25:27.520
<v Speaker 7>the two things that he gets a lot of credit for,

0:25:27.680 --> 0:25:31.320
<v Speaker 7>and rightfully so, we love hearing him talk. We just

0:25:31.480 --> 0:25:34.240
<v Speaker 7>all like, we just love his quotes. We love hearing

0:25:34.320 --> 0:25:37.520
<v Speaker 7>him talk. And he's won a lot of games with

0:25:38.400 --> 0:25:42.159
<v Speaker 7>quarterbacks that are not elite, not even close to elite,

0:25:42.200 --> 0:25:45.119
<v Speaker 7>but even think about like the playoffs. Right, you go

0:25:45.240 --> 0:25:49.800
<v Speaker 7>right down the line, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson,

0:25:50.440 --> 0:25:53.919
<v Speaker 7>even Cett Russell Wilson is not in that category that

0:25:53.960 --> 0:25:57.399
<v Speaker 7>they have not had a guy in that category to

0:25:57.480 --> 0:26:00.840
<v Speaker 7>go toe to toe with, even a Justin Herbert obviously

0:26:00.960 --> 0:26:04.880
<v Speaker 7>Joe Burrow. They don't have that guy and they haven't

0:26:04.920 --> 0:26:07.840
<v Speaker 7>since been with it was healthy and in his prime.

0:26:08.480 --> 0:26:09.680
<v Speaker 3>What are the Patriots doing.

0:26:13.160 --> 0:26:15.439
<v Speaker 7>That's a little bit of a head scratcher to me

0:26:15.560 --> 0:26:18.919
<v Speaker 7>on multiple levels, right, because think about the conviction you

0:26:19.040 --> 0:26:22.720
<v Speaker 7>have to have in a guy to name him the

0:26:22.760 --> 0:26:26.480
<v Speaker 7>successor put that in his contract to put him out

0:26:26.480 --> 0:26:30.080
<v Speaker 7>there for a year. And it's funny because most fan

0:26:30.200 --> 0:26:33.119
<v Speaker 7>bases dan when you say bad things about their team,

0:26:33.240 --> 0:26:35.679
<v Speaker 7>they don't like it. But when I did the NFL

0:26:35.760 --> 0:26:38.399
<v Speaker 7>Network game last week when they played the Chargers, I

0:26:38.480 --> 0:26:41.359
<v Speaker 7>said the truth, which is they probably have the worst

0:26:41.440 --> 0:26:44.920
<v Speaker 7>roster in the NFL. They probably have the worst O line,

0:26:45.040 --> 0:26:47.520
<v Speaker 7>probably the worst receiving corps. And even if you want

0:26:47.520 --> 0:26:51.080
<v Speaker 7>a nitpick, they're at least in the conversation there. So

0:26:51.200 --> 0:26:54.480
<v Speaker 7>when you start with that, I'm a little surprised that

0:26:54.600 --> 0:26:58.960
<v Speaker 7>Mayo would only get one year. I actually would probably

0:26:59.000 --> 0:27:02.320
<v Speaker 7>have made a change with the guys making the personnel

0:27:02.400 --> 0:27:05.480
<v Speaker 7>decisions before I would Mayo. And here's the thing that's

0:27:05.560 --> 0:27:08.800
<v Speaker 7>really they need to be very careful of. Right, Drake

0:27:08.920 --> 0:27:12.240
<v Speaker 7>May looks really good and made a lot of progress

0:27:12.320 --> 0:27:16.920
<v Speaker 7>that year under Alex Van Pelt, their offensive coordinator, despite

0:27:16.960 --> 0:27:18.600
<v Speaker 7>the fact that they might have the worst O line

0:27:18.600 --> 0:27:21.840
<v Speaker 7>in the worst receiving corps. Yeah, so now you might

0:27:21.880 --> 0:27:25.200
<v Speaker 7>be stunning his progress. You know, it'll be interesting to

0:27:25.200 --> 0:27:29.040
<v Speaker 7>see who they hire who is calling the offense, because

0:27:29.080 --> 0:27:30.960
<v Speaker 7>I really think they're at a point right now where

0:27:31.440 --> 0:27:35.000
<v Speaker 7>everything decision you make should be what's best for Drake

0:27:35.160 --> 0:27:40.040
<v Speaker 7>May because he is the franchise. I'm not sure moving

0:27:40.080 --> 0:27:42.520
<v Speaker 7>on from Van Pelt, moving on from the coaching staff

0:27:42.600 --> 0:27:44.359
<v Speaker 7>is what will end up being best for Drake May,

0:27:44.400 --> 0:27:45.840
<v Speaker 7>but it looks like it's what's going to happen.

0:27:46.520 --> 0:27:50.399
<v Speaker 2>Can the Lions replicate what they did defensively last night

0:27:50.440 --> 0:27:53.320
<v Speaker 2>against Minnesota when they get to the postseason?

0:27:54.119 --> 0:27:57.280
<v Speaker 7>Man, I hope. So that was awesome. I am so

0:27:57.640 --> 0:28:02.160
<v Speaker 7>happy for them and their fans. You know, with all

0:28:02.200 --> 0:28:04.400
<v Speaker 7>these injuries, I probably said to you a couple times

0:28:04.440 --> 0:28:06.760
<v Speaker 7>over the last couple of months, and I thought It's

0:28:06.800 --> 0:28:09.280
<v Speaker 7>just too much for them to overcome. And I think

0:28:09.320 --> 0:28:11.760
<v Speaker 7>if they had lost last night, it would be right.

0:28:11.880 --> 0:28:15.359
<v Speaker 7>Three road playoff games, I don't see that happening. But

0:28:15.520 --> 0:28:18.359
<v Speaker 7>now now they only need to win two home home

0:28:18.359 --> 0:28:24.000
<v Speaker 7>playoff games. That is different. Getting Anzeloni back was gigantic.

0:28:24.359 --> 0:28:28.159
<v Speaker 7>They have excellent safeties Kirby, Joseph and Branch who they

0:28:28.240 --> 0:28:32.080
<v Speaker 7>now moved to Nickel. Aaron Glenn called an incredible game,

0:28:32.640 --> 0:28:34.840
<v Speaker 7>and they have a legitimate chance now to get to

0:28:34.880 --> 0:28:38.160
<v Speaker 7>the first Super Bowl in franchise history with the way

0:28:38.160 --> 0:28:41.040
<v Speaker 7>they played on defense last night. No wonder Aaron Glenn

0:28:41.480 --> 0:28:45.520
<v Speaker 7>is getting all these head coaching interviews. That was masterful

0:28:45.800 --> 0:28:46.360
<v Speaker 7>last night.

0:28:47.520 --> 0:28:50.760
<v Speaker 2>How was it locally the reaction with Saquon Barkley not

0:28:50.880 --> 0:28:54.000
<v Speaker 2>playing in this regular season finale with a chance to

0:28:54.040 --> 0:28:57.960
<v Speaker 2>become the all time single season rushing leader, Well.

0:28:57.800 --> 0:29:00.960
<v Speaker 7>This will probably surprise you then that this would be

0:29:01.000 --> 0:29:03.120
<v Speaker 7>the case in the city of Philadelphia. But it was.

0:29:03.720 --> 0:29:08.440
<v Speaker 12>Very polarizing, very polarizing, right, I mean they talked about

0:29:08.440 --> 0:29:12.160
<v Speaker 12>it on the local radio all week, and you know,

0:29:12.200 --> 0:29:15.120
<v Speaker 12>the interesting thing was the quotes from some of the guys.

0:29:15.160 --> 0:29:17.720
<v Speaker 7>You know, even if you felt one way or the other,

0:29:18.440 --> 0:29:21.560
<v Speaker 7>when Saquon said, you know, my dad was the most

0:29:21.640 --> 0:29:24.280
<v Speaker 7>upset because it would have meant a lot for us

0:29:24.280 --> 0:29:27.400
<v Speaker 7>to have our name in the record books forever, you know,

0:29:27.440 --> 0:29:29.240
<v Speaker 7>when you heard them talk a little bit, but then

0:29:29.280 --> 0:29:31.680
<v Speaker 7>he kind of backed off of that a little bit.

0:29:31.720 --> 0:29:35.240
<v Speaker 7>The problem is, you know, and I realized the other

0:29:35.280 --> 0:29:37.320
<v Speaker 7>guys would love to be a part of the record too,

0:29:38.320 --> 0:29:40.320
<v Speaker 7>but you're not gonna put them out there with the

0:29:40.360 --> 0:29:43.600
<v Speaker 7>second string offensive line, And so then you gotta have

0:29:43.720 --> 0:29:46.240
<v Speaker 7>Lane Johnson at like thirty four to thirty five. You

0:29:46.280 --> 0:29:48.960
<v Speaker 7>got to have those guys out there, and I think

0:29:49.080 --> 0:29:51.280
<v Speaker 7>Sirianni made the right decision. The only way you really

0:29:51.280 --> 0:29:53.920
<v Speaker 7>look dumb. And I love history, and I love Saquon

0:29:53.960 --> 0:29:55.920
<v Speaker 7>and all that stuff, but the only way you really

0:29:55.960 --> 0:29:58.760
<v Speaker 7>look dumb is if you lose one of your best

0:29:58.800 --> 0:30:03.240
<v Speaker 7>players in game that has no significance whatsoever. You're locked

0:30:03.280 --> 0:30:05.360
<v Speaker 7>in as the number two seed, and then you don't

0:30:05.400 --> 0:30:08.719
<v Speaker 7>have those guys when you're playing the Packers on Sunday,

0:30:09.000 --> 0:30:10.880
<v Speaker 7>who are one of the better teams in the NFL.

0:30:11.600 --> 0:30:14.720
<v Speaker 3>Good to catch up with you, Safe travels. Thanks for joining.

0:30:14.520 --> 0:30:16.760
<v Speaker 7>Us, of course, Thank you, Dan appreciate it.

0:30:16.880 --> 0:30:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Ross Tucker, host of the Ross Tucker Football Podcast, CBS

0:30:21.320 --> 0:30:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Sports Westwood One, and he'll be there with the Steelers Ravens,

0:30:24.760 --> 0:30:27.920
<v Speaker 2>and then he's got the Packers and the Eagles coming up.

0:30:28.520 --> 0:30:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Barry and Santa fe is back.

0:30:30.160 --> 0:30:35.680
<v Speaker 9>Hi Berry, Good morning fellows, Good morning chat bro Todd.

0:30:35.720 --> 0:30:39.320
<v Speaker 9>I hope you had some celebration moushoe and sparerib for

0:30:39.440 --> 0:30:46.600
<v Speaker 9>your Broncos. No I did. Yesterday's Jet game made me furious.

0:30:47.240 --> 0:30:51.239
<v Speaker 9>The Sky waits eighteen weeks to wake up and have

0:30:51.640 --> 0:30:53.880
<v Speaker 9>to have a decent game. We could add a decent

0:30:53.960 --> 0:30:59.040
<v Speaker 9>season and for guys like Lewis Riddick and Mike Rabel

0:31:00.960 --> 0:31:04.160
<v Speaker 9>are two good men to get caught up in that nonsense.

0:31:04.680 --> 0:31:05.280
<v Speaker 9>Walk away.

0:31:05.600 --> 0:31:06.280
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, Barry.

0:31:07.320 --> 0:31:09.560
<v Speaker 2>It was just enough of a tease when you're watching

0:31:09.560 --> 0:31:11.680
<v Speaker 2>Aaron Rodgers where you go, all right.

0:31:11.800 --> 0:31:13.880
<v Speaker 3>Okay, this is what it was.

0:31:13.960 --> 0:31:16.480
<v Speaker 2>Now if you look at Aaron Rodgers' numbers, if I

0:31:16.600 --> 0:31:19.040
<v Speaker 2>just said here are the numbers, you don't know anything

0:31:19.040 --> 0:31:20.520
<v Speaker 2>else about the Jets this season?

0:31:20.560 --> 0:31:20.920
<v Speaker 7>What is he?

0:31:21.000 --> 0:31:25.360
<v Speaker 2>Twenty seven touchdowns eleven interceptions? I think is that his numbers?

0:31:26.320 --> 0:31:32.040
<v Speaker 2>You go, okay, twenty eight and eleven four thousand yards?

0:31:32.080 --> 0:31:37.400
<v Speaker 2>You'd go, all right, yeah, what was their record. I

0:31:37.400 --> 0:31:46.080
<v Speaker 2>think you'd be surprised he was five and twelve. I

0:31:46.120 --> 0:31:51.880
<v Speaker 2>think he's gonna play next year. I do, and he

0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:53.840
<v Speaker 2>might do it despite everybody.

0:31:53.920 --> 0:31:54.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:31:54.960 --> 0:31:57.479
<v Speaker 2>Hey, you know, it's trying to figure out you know

0:31:58.160 --> 0:31:59.680
<v Speaker 2>what goes through these guys' mind.

0:32:00.200 --> 0:32:00.560
<v Speaker 7>Brady.

0:32:00.800 --> 0:32:03.240
<v Speaker 3>If you said, hey, he's not going to broadcast.

0:32:02.760 --> 0:32:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Anymore next year, I wouldn't be surprised, Hey, he wants

0:32:05.360 --> 0:32:08.000
<v Speaker 2>to come back and play. I wouldn't be surprised. Like

0:32:08.040 --> 0:32:10.920
<v Speaker 2>they're just certain guys who are wired that that's who

0:32:10.960 --> 0:32:17.560
<v Speaker 2>they are. And Aaron Rodgers probably says, yeah, you know what,

0:32:17.840 --> 0:32:20.960
<v Speaker 2>maybe I'll just do it again. It always feels the

0:32:21.080 --> 0:32:23.080
<v Speaker 2>last two years it feels like he's doing us a

0:32:23.120 --> 0:32:26.640
<v Speaker 2>favor when he plays, Like I don't know, I might

0:32:26.680 --> 0:32:30.360
<v Speaker 2>be getting around to it, you know. Uh, look, I

0:32:30.400 --> 0:32:32.240
<v Speaker 2>got a party to go. You know, I'm gonna stop

0:32:32.240 --> 0:32:34.239
<v Speaker 2>in for a couple of quarters here and then I

0:32:34.280 --> 0:32:37.760
<v Speaker 2>gotta go, Okay, all right, when we come back, we'll

0:32:37.800 --> 0:32:39.480
<v Speaker 2>give you our best and worst of the weekend. But

0:32:39.960 --> 0:32:43.880
<v Speaker 2>we're going to play Phil in the blank. That's where

0:32:43.880 --> 0:32:46.880

<v Speaker 2>fill in the blank. Todd, I'll start with you. The

0:33:30.720 --> 0:33:32.080
<v Speaker 2>Patriots weekend was.

0:33:32.280 --> 0:33:35.440
<v Speaker 8>The Patriots weekend was Hellman's even though they won no

0:33:35.520 --> 0:33:37.760
<v Speaker 8>mail and went from first to fourth pick in the draft.

0:33:38.320 --> 0:33:44.040
<v Speaker 3>Hellmanskay seat no counter.

0:33:44.200 --> 0:33:49.840
<v Speaker 2>Patriots weekend was blank, goofy.

0:33:48.240 --> 0:33:52.600
<v Speaker 3>Marvin puzzling Paul self defeating.

0:33:53.680 --> 0:33:59.960
<v Speaker 2>The Patriots weekend was sad. The Buccaneers in the playof

0:34:00.080 --> 0:34:01.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, Blank, Todd.

0:34:02.160 --> 0:34:05.160
<v Speaker 8>The Buccaneers in the playoffs are temporary. They may be

0:34:05.200 --> 0:34:09.800
<v Speaker 8>a quick out because Jim Daniels and the Commander's temporary.

0:34:10.120 --> 0:34:14.320
<v Speaker 3>Okay, temporary, maybe want and done? Okay, just a temporary situation,

0:34:14.440 --> 0:34:20.680
<v Speaker 3>all right, see baking up something special for the man.

0:34:20.719 --> 0:34:27.080
<v Speaker 4>They may field questions after their win from the press.

0:34:27.120 --> 0:34:29.279
<v Speaker 2>One of these days, you're gonna take this serious. I'm

0:34:29.280 --> 0:34:32.200
<v Speaker 2>just trying to do what Todd just did, all right, Marvin.

0:34:33.760 --> 0:34:36.240
<v Speaker 7>Typical. They've been there last five years.

0:34:38.320 --> 0:34:41.400
<v Speaker 13>Paulie must avoid You don't want to face him.

0:34:42.719 --> 0:34:51.520
<v Speaker 2>The Buccaneers in the playoffs are tantalizing channelizing. The Lions

0:34:51.600 --> 0:34:55.600
<v Speaker 2>running back Jamiir Gibbs is blank Todd like the Lion

0:34:55.680 --> 0:34:56.480
<v Speaker 2>and the Wizard.

0:34:56.160 --> 0:34:59.640
<v Speaker 8>Of Oz, courageous, like the way that guy runs, goes after.

0:34:59.480 --> 0:35:01.680
<v Speaker 3>Defense as tough as hell.

0:35:02.200 --> 0:35:05.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he got crushed, He got absolutely crushed.

0:35:05.640 --> 0:35:07.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah this weekend about right now, he was down a

0:35:07.520 --> 0:35:10.399
<v Speaker 3>little bit, Like, let me get back up.

0:35:10.480 --> 0:35:15.160
<v Speaker 5>Marvin, jack of all trades, rushing, receiving, blocking, he does it.

0:35:15.120 --> 0:35:18.840
<v Speaker 13>All, paul Jamir Gibbs is transfixing.

0:35:18.760 --> 0:35:24.440
<v Speaker 2>The Lions running back. Jamir Gibbs is fulky and oh

0:35:24.760 --> 0:35:25.840
<v Speaker 2>Marshall fulk.

0:35:25.640 --> 0:35:32.200
<v Speaker 3>Good for you. Yes, millennial fault in Aaron Rodgers' future

0:35:32.320 --> 0:35:33.320
<v Speaker 3>is blankton.

0:35:34.520 --> 0:35:36.359
<v Speaker 8>I wonder if anyone cares.

0:35:37.640 --> 0:35:37.719
<v Speaker 9>So.

0:35:37.920 --> 0:35:41.040
<v Speaker 3>The ayahuasca all right, still still sticking to that seaton

0:35:41.520 --> 0:35:46.960
<v Speaker 3>written in the Stars. Okay, Marvin Farvish m hmm.

0:35:48.320 --> 0:35:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but far left the Jets and took the Vikings

0:35:51.600 --> 0:35:52.839
<v Speaker 2>to the NFC title game.

0:35:54.360 --> 0:35:56.520
<v Speaker 5>I just mean a great career somewhere and then just

0:35:56.560 --> 0:35:58.120
<v Speaker 5>becomes like a journeyman of some sorts.

0:35:59.640 --> 0:36:05.520
<v Speaker 2>Paul in Vegas mm hmm. Yeah, Aaron Rodgers' future is

0:36:06.760 --> 0:36:14.920
<v Speaker 2>Elvis like the Steelers in sequined in Vegas. In Vegas,

0:36:16.239 --> 0:36:22.720
<v Speaker 2>the Steelers offense is blank, Todd, rusty, that's going.

0:36:22.560 --> 0:36:24.319
<v Speaker 3>On there, Satan.

0:36:25.480 --> 0:36:28.800
<v Speaker 4>Fieldsing questions about their future.

0:36:28.920 --> 0:36:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Marvin slim pickings, okay, George, uh PAULI.

0:36:35.680 --> 0:36:37.680
<v Speaker 13>The Steelers offense is occasional.

0:36:39.400 --> 0:36:44.600
<v Speaker 2>The Steelers offense is a rumor, uh Todd. Final one.

0:36:44.640 --> 0:36:47.000
<v Speaker 2>The Titans having the number one pick in the draft.

0:36:47.040 --> 0:36:47.640
<v Speaker 2>Who's blank?

0:36:48.040 --> 0:36:48.840
<v Speaker 13>Patriotic?

0:36:51.000 --> 0:36:52.920
<v Speaker 8>Is the Patriots had the number one pick, another dropped

0:36:52.920 --> 0:36:56.120
<v Speaker 8>to four. The Titans number one pick is patriotic, Satan.

0:36:57.360 --> 0:37:04.200
<v Speaker 5>Useless, Marvin necessary, Paul temporary.

0:37:05.920 --> 0:37:08.400
<v Speaker 2>The Titans having the number one overall pick in the

0:37:08.480 --> 0:37:09.239
<v Speaker 2>draft is.

0:37:10.840 --> 0:37:11.759
<v Speaker 3>A shader thing.

0:37:15.120 --> 0:37:16.839
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, nice one, take that one, Todd.

0:37:16.960 --> 0:37:17.319
<v Speaker 7>I like that.

0:37:17.719 --> 0:37:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all right, how about best and worst of the weekend, Todd.

0:37:21.560 --> 0:37:24.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna start with you. Best and worst of the weekend.

0:37:24.880 --> 0:37:25.760
<v Speaker 13>My best of the weekend.

0:37:25.840 --> 0:37:27.920
<v Speaker 8>Shockingly, even though they sat several of their top players,

0:37:27.920 --> 0:37:29.759
<v Speaker 8>the Broncos dominant went over the Chiefs at Mile High,

0:37:29.760 --> 0:37:32.239
<v Speaker 8>grabbing the seventh seed, their first post sering so season

0:37:32.280 --> 0:37:34.920
<v Speaker 8>appearance in nine years. For the worst that went NBA,

0:37:35.000 --> 0:37:38.080
<v Speaker 8>Anthony Edwards scores a career high fifty three points, including

0:37:38.120 --> 0:37:40.800
<v Speaker 8>ten three points in Detroit Saturday night. They still lose

0:37:40.800 --> 0:37:43.120
<v Speaker 8>by fourteen one nineteen one oh five.

0:37:43.160 --> 0:37:45.040
<v Speaker 7>What a waste Seaton.

0:37:45.960 --> 0:37:47.840
<v Speaker 4>My best of the weekend, It's easily that one of

0:37:47.880 --> 0:37:49.640
<v Speaker 4>the best interceptions you're ever going to see in your

0:37:49.719 --> 0:37:54.400
<v Speaker 4>entire life Raven's defensive lineman Michael Pierce. Yeah, dude's like

0:37:54.480 --> 0:37:57.840
<v Speaker 4>six feet foot tall, three hundred and fifty five pounds,

0:37:57.840 --> 0:38:00.000
<v Speaker 4>had to drop back in coverage. Nobody looked more like

0:38:00.120 --> 0:38:01.960
<v Speaker 4>a fish out of more than that. Dude ends the ball.

0:38:02.000 --> 0:38:04.560
<v Speaker 4>He's got great hands, caught the ball and he immediately

0:38:04.640 --> 0:38:07.480
<v Speaker 4>went down, but it was hilarious. Watching his teammates reaction too,

0:38:08.000 --> 0:38:11.840
<v Speaker 4>was really spectacular. My worst of the weekend is the Patriots,

0:38:11.880 --> 0:38:13.759
<v Speaker 4>not because they won that game. I'm actually happy that

0:38:13.800 --> 0:38:16.160
<v Speaker 4>they won that game. I hate tanking. It's the worst

0:38:16.200 --> 0:38:16.840
<v Speaker 4>part of sports.

0:38:16.840 --> 0:38:17.120
<v Speaker 9>For me.

0:38:18.120 --> 0:38:21.640
<v Speaker 4>But how do you push out a legend and the

0:38:21.760 --> 0:38:24.400
<v Speaker 4>architect of one of the greatest runs in sports history

0:38:24.600 --> 0:38:26.759
<v Speaker 4>for a guy that you're then just gonna fire after

0:38:26.800 --> 0:38:27.360
<v Speaker 4>one season?

0:38:27.960 --> 0:38:31.040
<v Speaker 3>Marvin Best and worst of the weekend, My best of

0:38:31.080 --> 0:38:31.520
<v Speaker 3>the weekend.

0:38:31.560 --> 0:38:36.319
<v Speaker 5>I have two best actually, Lamar Jackson, Bryce Young, no

0:38:36.440 --> 0:38:40.200
<v Speaker 5>look touchdown passes. Love that very Steph Curry esca them

0:38:40.360 --> 0:38:42.879
<v Speaker 5>my are the best. The Chicago Bulls announcing that they're

0:38:42.880 --> 0:38:46.200
<v Speaker 5>gonna retire Derrick Rose's jersey up in the rafters.

0:38:46.600 --> 0:38:47.280
<v Speaker 7>Well deserved.

0:38:47.320 --> 0:38:49.160
<v Speaker 5>He's a one seed for me as of what could

0:38:49.200 --> 0:38:49.480
<v Speaker 5>have been?

0:38:49.800 --> 0:38:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, he was emotional with that. I didn't want

0:38:54.040 --> 0:38:58.239
<v Speaker 2>to see a statue like we sometimes get a little

0:38:58.239 --> 0:39:03.719
<v Speaker 2>statue heavy. Everybody doesn't deserve a statue. Yeah, it was

0:39:03.840 --> 0:39:07.440
<v Speaker 2>nice what could have been? And they retire his jersey.

0:39:07.520 --> 0:39:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Paul Best and worst of the weekend.

0:39:09.080 --> 0:39:11.560
<v Speaker 6>Best of the weekend, Bryce Young watching him play football

0:39:11.600 --> 0:39:13.319
<v Speaker 6>and having fun and doing it well like he did

0:39:13.400 --> 0:39:15.640
<v Speaker 6>in college. It looks like his future is bright again.

0:39:15.719 --> 0:39:17.839
<v Speaker 6>Nobody wants to see a bust. The other best I

0:39:17.920 --> 0:39:20.440
<v Speaker 6>like the Buccaneers and the team and the coach and

0:39:20.480 --> 0:39:23.560
<v Speaker 6>the quarterback. Giving Mike Evans a five yard pass at

0:39:23.600 --> 0:39:25.279
<v Speaker 6>the end to get a three million dollar bonus and

0:39:25.360 --> 0:39:28.080
<v Speaker 6>keeping his streak alive of one thousand yard seasons.

0:39:28.160 --> 0:39:28.600
<v Speaker 3>Very cool.

0:39:29.360 --> 0:39:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's tied with Jerry Rice now most consecutive one

0:39:32.719 --> 0:39:38.400
<v Speaker 2>thousand yard receiving seasons his eleventh, and that's one of

0:39:38.440 --> 0:39:41.400
<v Speaker 2>those that goes a long way for goodwill. Now ownership

0:39:41.480 --> 0:39:43.839
<v Speaker 2>may be like, all right, maybe we get out from

0:39:43.880 --> 0:39:47.560
<v Speaker 2>paying three million dollars. Mike Evans is a Hall of

0:39:47.560 --> 0:39:50.799
<v Speaker 2>Famer and he's probably been a bargain for you.

0:39:51.640 --> 0:39:53.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm glad he got it, yes, se I think Sean.

0:39:53.719 --> 0:39:56.280
<v Speaker 4>Payton too did something similar where they used to cooked

0:39:56.360 --> 0:39:58.360
<v Speaker 4>up a play to get somebody like a five hundred

0:39:58.400 --> 0:40:00.640
<v Speaker 4>thousand dollars bonus or something. I forget who the receiver

0:40:00.840 --> 0:40:03.600
<v Speaker 4>was Sudden maybe it was Sudden, but he was just like,

0:40:03.640 --> 0:40:06.560
<v Speaker 4>we need to this to he needs one more catch

0:40:06.600 --> 0:40:08.600
<v Speaker 4>for like five hundred grand, and you could see them

0:40:08.640 --> 0:40:09.920
<v Speaker 4>working it out on the sideline.

0:40:10.000 --> 0:40:11.200
<v Speaker 3>Let's go do this or whatever.

0:40:11.320 --> 0:40:13.960
<v Speaker 4>And then the flip side of that, Jerry Jones, he

0:40:14.239 --> 0:40:16.839
<v Speaker 4>cost Cooper Rush two hundred and fifty thousand dollars by

0:40:16.880 --> 0:40:18.920
<v Speaker 4>not playing him that day. Man, if you're looking at

0:40:18.920 --> 0:40:21.040
<v Speaker 4>what franchises to play for and what ones to not.

0:40:21.520 --> 0:40:23.440
<v Speaker 4>I start right there with those kinds of things.

0:40:23.920 --> 0:40:26.919
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, Jerry does overspend when it comes to contracts.

0:40:27.600 --> 0:40:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it slipped his mind. If I knew that Cooper

0:40:30.920 --> 0:40:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Rush was, you know, he had the ability if he

0:40:34.200 --> 0:40:37.279
<v Speaker 2>played all the Stamps yesterday that he'd get a five

0:40:37.360 --> 0:40:40.440
<v Speaker 2>hundred thousand dollars bonus. So if I knew it, I

0:40:40.480 --> 0:40:43.759
<v Speaker 2>would assume that the owner would know that. Also, the

0:40:43.800 --> 0:40:48.520
<v Speaker 2>New Orleans Saints knew that Mike Evans needed five yards,

0:40:49.120 --> 0:40:53.560
<v Speaker 2>and I think that they allowed that to happen. I

0:40:53.600 --> 0:40:56.520
<v Speaker 2>don't think they were contesting it because I think everybody

0:40:56.600 --> 0:40:59.279
<v Speaker 2>knew when Baker wasn't taking a knee that they were

0:40:59.280 --> 0:41:02.120
<v Speaker 2>going to throw the ball to Mike Evans. It was

0:41:02.160 --> 0:41:06.320
<v Speaker 2>pretty good, It was pretty cool. Those bonuses make me nervous, though,

0:41:06.640 --> 0:41:09.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, get towards the end of the year, guy

0:41:09.320 --> 0:41:11.239
<v Speaker 2>can be in the huddle like, dude, you got to

0:41:11.239 --> 0:41:14.400
<v Speaker 2>get me the ball, man. I like how Micah Parsons

0:41:14.760 --> 0:41:16.920
<v Speaker 2>had two and a half second, like he took care

0:41:16.960 --> 0:41:19.840
<v Speaker 2>of his bonus, Like felt like it was right away.

0:41:20.120 --> 0:41:24.600
<v Speaker 2>He just blew through the offensive line. Yes, PAULI a.

0:41:24.520 --> 0:41:26.799
<v Speaker 6>Couple of years ago, there's that NFL Films video of

0:41:26.840 --> 0:41:29.520
<v Speaker 6>Gronkowski saying he needs one more catch for a million

0:41:29.560 --> 0:41:32.000
<v Speaker 6>dollars and Brady goes, what's that? And he overheard it,

0:41:32.280 --> 0:41:34.319
<v Speaker 6>and he goes next play, next play, and they did

0:41:34.320 --> 0:41:34.799
<v Speaker 6>it for Grek.

0:41:37.160 --> 0:41:38.040
<v Speaker 3>Final Hour on the way.

0:41:38.040 --> 0:41:41.600
<v Speaker 2>We'll check in with the Patriots, what are they doing,

0:41:42.480 --> 0:41:45.960
<v Speaker 2>who's coming in and if so, wasn't that guy available

0:41:46.840 --> 0:41:47.359
<v Speaker 2>last year?

0:41:49.800 --> 0:41:51.560
<v Speaker 3>Final Hour in this Monday, right after this
