Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour on this Monday, Dan and The
Speaker 1: Dane's Dan Patrick Show. If you're just tuning in. Mclovin
Speaker 1: is back from his vacation in Iceland and looks like
Speaker 1: he got a little bit of sun. Get out of here.
Speaker 1: There's no sun over there. Fritzie is out today. We
Speaker 1: hope he's feeling better and back tomorrow. Best and worst
Speaker 1: to the weekend. We will give you hours coming up
Speaker 1: here momentarily, and a little bit of breaking news with
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. This was from earlier in the show, Tom Plisero,
Speaker 1: and this is news that's actually being reported because a
Speaker 1: lot of it was just basically whispers rumors, but Tom
Speaker 1: Plisero and Ian Rappaport of the NFL Network saying the
Speaker 1: Texans are now willing to listen and have been for
Speaker 1: some time to trade offers for Deshaun Watson. Deshaun Watson
Speaker 1: showed up yesterday and was described as being respectful, but
Speaker 1: his demeanor reiterated he does not want to be in Houston.
Speaker 1: Question is when do you trade for him? What do
Speaker 1: you trade for him? And what do you know about
Speaker 1: a situation? Those are really big questions Before I say yeah,
Speaker 1: let's go after DeShawn Watson. You don't even know if
Speaker 1: he's going to be suspended or not put on the
Speaker 1: Commissioner's exemp list. You're going to settle all of these
Speaker 1: civil cases. There's a whole lot still to be sorted out.
Speaker 1: It's an interesting week. Deshaun Watson shows up, we don't
Speaker 1: know for how long. We don't know if Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: is going to show up. You got the NBA Draft
Speaker 1: coming up, and you got Baseball's trade deadline, and you
Speaker 1: have the Olympics as well, and you have Oklahoma and
Speaker 1: Texas perhaps joining the SEC, and maybe the SEC's reaching
Speaker 1: out to other schools. We're going to talk to Paul
Speaker 1: Feinbaum on loan from the mother Ship. He'll join us
Speaker 1: coming up. This program is brought to you by the
Speaker 1: great folks at Peacock. Peacock has an original The Greatest
Speaker 1: Race Discovered, the teammates who pulled off an astonishing comeback
Speaker 1: and one the four by one hundred relay at the
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight Beijing Olympics. The Greatest Race streaming
Speaker 1: now on Peacock our TV partners. You can download the
Speaker 1: app watch for free, and also our radio affiliates. I've
Speaker 1: been singling out some of the great cities. I was
Speaker 1: nominated for the Radio Hall of Fame and couldn't have
Speaker 1: done it without the support of our great affiliates, including
Speaker 1: thirteen forty AM in Las Vegas, AM thirteen hundred Zone
Speaker 1: in Austin, Texas, Louisville Cards Radio seven ninety k r D.
Speaker 1: Thank you for your support for this program. We've had
Speaker 1: plenty of holdouts down through the years and players who
Speaker 1: forced their way out of town, but there really hasn't
Speaker 1: been a situation like to Shaun Watsons in Houston. He
Speaker 1: doesn't want to be there, and although they haven't really
Speaker 1: said it, there's a good chance the Texans don't want
Speaker 1: him there either. Yet he reported to camp and at
Speaker 1: the beginning of the offseason, Watson made it abundantly clear
Speaker 1: he wanted out Texans didn't want to listen to trade offers.
Speaker 1: Back then then, the serious civil suits came out against
Speaker 1: Watson for sexual misconduct, and we don't know what the
Speaker 1: act will be of the NFL moving forward. The precedent
Speaker 1: for the situation probably doesn't exactly apply. When Ben Roethlisberger
Speaker 1: was accused of sexual misconduct. The NFL suspended him for
Speaker 1: four games. I think it was six, and then they
Speaker 1: bumped it back to four. But he wanted to be
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh and the Steelers still wanted him. And that's
Speaker 1: a far cry from what we have with the Texans.
Speaker 1: So what's next? Does the league step in? Do the
Speaker 1: Texans trade him? Is there any chance he stays in Houston.
Speaker 1: We're going to find out really soon, but you might
Speaker 1: want to trade him. If I'm Miami, Denver, whoever might
Speaker 1: be Philadelphia, Carolina. I got to know a couple of things.
Speaker 1: First of all, is he going to settle these civil suits?
Speaker 1: And is the NFL going to punish him? And then
Speaker 1: I'm going to ask, Okay, what do you want for him?
Speaker 1: Unless you say, hey, we know he's damaged goods. Give
Speaker 1: us two number one, give us two number ones and
Speaker 1: two a tongue of ioloa and we're good. Or if
Speaker 1: you're Philadelphia, what are you giving up? Do you give
Speaker 1: up draft picks? And Jalen Hurts? If you're Houston, do
Speaker 1: you even want a quarterback in return? This probably just
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor. Let him be your quarterback here. Get the
Speaker 1: first pick in the draft. You win two or three
Speaker 1: games this year, get some draft picks here, you're able
Speaker 1: to move forward. And that's what I was surprised about. Okay,
Speaker 1: he didn't want to be there. You had given him
Speaker 1: his money. He was making forty million dollars a year.
Speaker 1: You know, Hopkins was gone. J. J. Watt was gone,
Speaker 1: like there was no reason. You know, if he didn't
Speaker 1: want to be there, then you could have jettisoned him
Speaker 1: and got something real in return. It's the same thing
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers. I understand you don't want to treat him,
Speaker 1: but at some point you have to have something to
Speaker 1: show for this when it's all said and done. One
Speaker 1: more season with Aaron? Is that what? And then you're
Speaker 1: gonna say, all right, give us one more year and
Speaker 1: then we'll trade you and you let us know. We'll
Speaker 1: give you four destinations. You pick out of those four, like,
Speaker 1: I don't know what the solution is going to be.
Speaker 1: And then are you gonna lose Davante Adams. This is
Speaker 1: a team that went to the NFC title game and
Speaker 1: here you are in the last six months. You haven't
Speaker 1: been able to make it better. Did it come down to?
Speaker 1: I don't like those two guys who are running the show,
Speaker 1: Mark Murphy, Brian goodocounst all right, can't do anything about that,
Speaker 1: Aaron all right. Then I would have said, all right,
Speaker 1: then we'll see if we can come up with a
Speaker 1: trade partner. I can't have a player, say I got
Speaker 1: to get rid of the president and the gem because
Speaker 1: you have a good team here. I still think if
Speaker 1: Jordan Love was ready to go, Packers probably would have said,
Speaker 1: all right, you don't want to be here. We're going
Speaker 1: to bet on you not being as good next year,
Speaker 1: because they bet on him not being as good last
Speaker 1: year and it cost him. I get some draft picks,
Speaker 1: maybe I get a starting player, get some cap room here,
Speaker 1: I get some point. You have to go, Okay, what's
Speaker 1: best for the organization. You know, Brett Fave wanted Randy Moss.
Speaker 1: He wanted Randy Moss, brought him. Now, these quarterbacks all
Speaker 1: want to say in something and Brady changed everything. The
Speaker 1: nbazation nbazation of the NFL where the players have the power.
Speaker 1: That's what's going on. And these quarterbacks who were probably told, hey,
Speaker 1: you're just one of fifty three, I ain't the case.
Speaker 1: They're not just one of fifty three you're spending forty
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars on these quarterbacks. They want to have
Speaker 1: a say you give me all this money, But then
Speaker 1: I don't get a say. It changed with Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: You know, Mahomes is gonna want that. Russell Wilson asked
Speaker 1: for that. Baker Mayfield is gonna want that. Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: is gonna get forty five million dollars a year. Josh
Speaker 1: Allen is gonna get paid. These guys are going to
Speaker 1: get to the point where, hey, you're gonna critique me
Speaker 1: because I haven't won, Well, then can I have a
Speaker 1: say in who we bring in? If it's all about me? Hey,
Speaker 1: you didn't win the big One? Hey, you don't win
Speaker 1: in the post I mean Lamar Jackson MVP. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: didn't win in the postseason. He's probably saying, hey, can
Speaker 1: I have a couple of wide receivers that somebody knows?
Speaker 1: What did Mahomes say? Hey? Can I have an offensive line?
Speaker 1: Because I'm a whole lot better when I'm standing up?
Speaker 1: Then I got three Buccaneers on me in the Super Bowl? Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: I was just look at the Texans. They're yeah, they're
Speaker 1: expected to be the worst team in football with the
Speaker 1: Shawn Watson, their odds are the worst without him, there
Speaker 1: by far the odds to be the worst team of football.
Speaker 1: One year and seven months ago, January twelve, twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans were up twenty four to zero on
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs in the first in the Divisional playoffs.
Speaker 1: They look like they were going to boat race the
Speaker 1: Chiefs and they lost fifty one thirty one. It's been
Speaker 1: bad ever since. Yes, mclub, how about this theory that
Speaker 1: you know that they're kind of doing a process, you know,
Speaker 1: they're tanging for the number one pick and just starting
Speaker 1: over again. I know you don't like they've done a
Speaker 1: great job. Yeah, I know you don't like the process.
Speaker 1: But isn't that their best option? Well, I just don't
Speaker 1: know who's going to be there at number one. You know,
Speaker 1: we knew Trevor Lawrence was going to be here. We
Speaker 1: we've known that there's going to be players that are
Speaker 1: going to be available at number one overall. You know,
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, you knew he was going to be there.
Speaker 1: You don't know that right now? Now there's going to
Speaker 1: be probably two or three quarterbacks where you go, wow,
Speaker 1: didn't see that happening if you look at what happened
Speaker 1: this past year or the you know, previous years. Baker Mayfield,
Speaker 1: I get this happens where you go, I didn't expect
Speaker 1: that guy to be that good or where did he
Speaker 1: come from? That'll happen. But if I'm the Texans and
Speaker 1: I send Deshaun Watson to Miami, I don't want tah
Speaker 1: in return, Like I'd rather just go No, we got
Speaker 1: our quarterbacks. I want rookie contracts here. I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't want that. But then you know, Miami would have
Speaker 1: to trade to us somewhere. Who's gonna want to take
Speaker 1: on to a tongue of by law. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of questions here. And these are two and they're at
Speaker 1: the opposite ends of their careers. With Deshaun Watson at
Speaker 1: what twenty four, twenty five, Aaron Rodgers at what thirty six,
Speaker 1: thirty seven? Yeah, l have you got any sense of
Speaker 1: how the NFL views to uh like other teams, I
Speaker 1: haven't gotten one of those you know what, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be great, And a lot of times you'll get that
Speaker 1: they're far more benevolent where they're like, yeah, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be good. Give him time. I haven't gotten that with
Speaker 1: Tah And you know, part of this is by comparison
Speaker 1: to Justin Herbert or Joe Burrow. He's not on their level,
Speaker 1: at least not right now. But I don't know like
Speaker 1: I always thought Kenny Stabler the Raiders didn't have a
Speaker 1: strong arm, but he knew how to play the position.
Speaker 1: Wasn't a great athlete, he just knew how to he
Speaker 1: had he very subtle in the pocket, and he was accurate,
Speaker 1: you know too. It doesn't he looks like he puts
Speaker 1: everything into his throws he has to. It doesn't look
Speaker 1: like it's as natural with that zip on the ball.
Speaker 1: There's certain guys who throw a baseball and they don't
Speaker 1: look like they're throwing hard, and they're throwing ninety eight.
Speaker 1: To it looks like he's throwing ninety eight, but he's
Speaker 1: thrown ninety two. But I haven't. It didn't feel like
Speaker 1: people in Miami who work with the organization were blown
Speaker 1: away by two and plus. Also, you know, coming in
Speaker 1: being prepared, he was overwhelmed, which was surprising. All right,
Speaker 1: best and worst of the weekend, Fritzie today, Um mclovin,
Speaker 1: how about you, Okay, the best and the worst are
Speaker 1: the same thing. My best is that I saw Paul
Speaker 1: McCartney interviewed by Rick Rubin on this Hulu special Paul
Speaker 1: McCartney with three two one and wait wait wait wait
Speaker 1: wait wait wait wait wait wait wait. You're anti Beetles.
Speaker 1: I was anti Beetle. Oh no, no, we don't want you,
Speaker 1: We do not want you. This documentary, I finally, after
Speaker 1: all these years, realized the brilliance of the Beatles. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, how the hell did you get into an
Speaker 1: Ivy League school? Well, I was so familiar with like
Speaker 1: the early bubblegums, stuff like I want to hold your hand.
Speaker 1: Rick Rubin, the famous producer from the Baci Boys, held it.
Speaker 1: Took us through these like deep cuts that were amazing.
Speaker 1: What are the deep cuts that are amazing? I don't
Speaker 1: know anything off Sergeant Peppers or the White album like those. Yeah,
Speaker 1: have you heard of this song let it Be? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I got very emotional. Well it was. Actually it's an
Speaker 1: unbelievable documentary. And McCartney is so eloquent and describing what
Speaker 1: they were thinking, and you know, he was so generous
Speaker 1: to everybody in the band. Would you like to apologize
Speaker 1: to Paul McCartney. I would. I'd like for him to
Speaker 1: come on the show and apologize because I think he'd
Speaker 1: be a fun hang. I think you you and him
Speaker 1: would have a great conversation. I don't think it's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Have you ever been close to interviewing him. You must
Speaker 1: remember he did the Super Bowl. One point I'm trying
Speaker 1: to think, because I would always if NBC had the rights,
Speaker 1: then I'd always get to show up for rehearsal and
Speaker 1: be like a rehearsal starting with Springsteen. I'd be like,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna go over there and watch his rehearsal.
Speaker 1: But I don't know if I saw. I think two
Speaker 1: thousand and five, which must have been was that the
Speaker 1: Steelers against the Seahawks. Uh, we didn't cover. I didn't
Speaker 1: cover that. I didn't cover that Super Bowl. Well, I'm
Speaker 1: still double checker. He's right around there. He did win. Yeah, No, oh, sorry,
Speaker 1: it was the Patriots Eagles. I did COVID, the one
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. That's the famous fred X when Freddie Mitchell
Speaker 1: I just want to thank my hands for being so great. No,
Speaker 1: but that's when I had him on Sports Center and
Speaker 1: he didn't know he kept talking about the numbers the
Speaker 1: guys in the secondary for the Patriots, and I said,
Speaker 1: do you know their names? And he did not know
Speaker 1: ty Law and Rodney Harrison, probably Lawyer Malaw. He didn't
Speaker 1: know their names. And then it came out and oh
Speaker 1: my god, it was like I had people in Philadelphia
Speaker 1: that were mad at me that I was sabotaging the
Speaker 1: Eagles chances against the Pages. I said, I just asked
Speaker 1: a simple question. Here's a guy going, you know, they
Speaker 1: got thirty and thirty four and thirty seven back there,
Speaker 1: and I go, do you know their names? And he's
Speaker 1: like no, right, said Fred. Yes, it's funny too because
Speaker 1: he doesn't need to know their names, he only needs
Speaker 1: another numbers. Well, it didn't. It didn't come off well though,
Speaker 1: because you're Fred, Fred and Mitchell and you're not nobody,
Speaker 1: nobody cares you know you're You're not. If Jerry Rice
Speaker 1: goes yeah, they got thirty and thirty seven and okay,
Speaker 1: Barry Sanders famously did not know a lot of the
Speaker 1: guys he was going against on the defense. He just
Speaker 1: ran by him. Uh seat In best words for the weekend,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go too best Actually fencing Lee Kiefer winning. Wow,
Speaker 1: who knew? Of course I'm gonna take fencing. Why a
Speaker 1: niche sports? That's all the Olympics are. I'm saving archery
Speaker 1: for you, Paul. There's fifteen archery medals given away. If
Speaker 1: I take an archery I can see her setment Lee Kiefer.
Speaker 1: She won the first ever gold medal for individual foil
Speaker 1: major upset. It was her third Olympics. Uh, she finally medal.
Speaker 1: She beat the defending champion. I think you're already always
Speaker 1: foil right now. Yeah, it's the saber. Uh. This one's
Speaker 1: a possible spoiler though, so earmuffs if you're really into
Speaker 1: this kind of thing. But skateboarding, Um, I know Niga
Speaker 1: Houston didn't medal and that was a disappointment. But two
Speaker 1: thirteen year old girls who medaled in women's street Yeah.
Speaker 1: The gold medal metalist is from Japan, the silver medalist
Speaker 1: is from Brazil. They're thirteen years old. It's the cutest
Speaker 1: thing I think I've ever seen on television. It's absolutely fantastic,
Speaker 1: PAULI best and worst. Then we'll take a break shooting
Speaker 1: women's skeets gold medal amber English and also shooting men's
Speaker 1: skeet Gold Medal, Vincent Hancock. Nice job by those guys.
Speaker 1: They shoot, they score anything else, no nag oh okay,
Speaker 1: I like that. We're skewing positive. Paul Feinbomb, you'll probably
Speaker 1: disrupt that. No archery, what the heck sos they get
Speaker 1: some gold archer, We'll get some. I wanted an archery breakdown,
Speaker 1: Brady Allison Gold soon. Hopefully we'll take a break coming
Speaker 1: up on seventeen after the hour, more phone calls, Paul
Speaker 1: Finebomb on Oklahoma and Texas and possibly maybe Michigan, Ohio
Speaker 1: State and others. We'll talk to some college football next
Speaker 1: year on The Dan Patrick Show. This past year has
Speaker 1: brought a lot of change to our lives, and for
Speaker 1: a lot of us that means we've changed jobs or
Speaker 1: you might be considering retirement. Now I'm not changing jobs

Speaker 1: Feinbaum is a man of his word. Last week he
Speaker 1: was really busy. We reached out. He said, when I
Speaker 1: am able to, I will join you. And here he
Speaker 1: is the Voice of the SEC the Paul Feinbaum Show
Speaker 1: on ESPN Radio. Paul, thanks for joining us. If somebody
Speaker 1: will has gone out of the country last week and
Speaker 1: had no idea what happened in college football, how would
Speaker 1: you sum up what's happened in the last seven days.
Speaker 1: We'll simply put Dan, everyone else is well, everyone else
Speaker 1: was already playing for a second. Now, it's just not
Speaker 1: even not even a close call. When this goes through,
Speaker 1: and I think we all assume it will, the SEC
Speaker 1: has put so much distance between themselves and the rest
Speaker 1: of college football. And I know in the past a
Speaker 1: lot of people have accused me of beating my chest unnecessarily.
Speaker 1: I wrote a book six years ago in tod when
Speaker 1: my conference compete your conference, I got laughed at. I'm
Speaker 1: not getting laughed at anymore because it's you. Just it's
Speaker 1: hard to explain to those who don't swim in these
Speaker 1: rather toxic orders of college football the importance of adding
Speaker 1: Texas and Oklahoma to what's already Alabama and Auburn to
Speaker 1: Florida and Georgia, LSU Texas am. I mean, it's an
Speaker 1: endless stream a big brands, and I genuinely feel sorry
Speaker 1: for all the other leagues because when the Big ten
Speaker 1: starts looking around, and I'll defer to you because I
Speaker 1: found out during COVID you are the Big ten. You
Speaker 1: are the voice of the Big ten. I don't I mean,
Speaker 1: you tell me who who Kevin Warren's going after, because
Speaker 1: I don't see too many attractive choices. Well, I wondered
Speaker 1: if the SEC goes after the Big Ten. I've heard that,
Speaker 1: and I know it seems unlikely today because it's so
Speaker 1: hard to digest teams. You know, there's right now, the
Speaker 1: SEC is about to move from fourteen to sixteen. And
Speaker 1: if you want to see everyone within your five year
Speaker 1: period in college, that's very difficult. But I'm really interested
Speaker 1: to see what other schools want to do. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: would think if you're sitting there up in ann Arbor
Speaker 1: right now and Jim Harbaugh is saying to his boss,
Speaker 1: you know, we really can't compete in the Big ten.
Speaker 1: I can't beat Ohio States. So I tell you what,
Speaker 1: why don't you get me in? Yes, he said, where
Speaker 1: I know we can't compete not only with one team,
Speaker 1: but probably a few teams there. But I wonder about this.
Speaker 1: I like in Greg Sanky, the SEC commissioner to Roger Goodell,
Speaker 1: because he's running college football. But if you said, let's
Speaker 1: look at Sankey's end game, and I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's a three year, five year period or are we
Speaker 1: looking at maybe an NFL model of college football? And
Speaker 1: Greg Sanky is heading up the top thirty two to
Speaker 1: forty college football programs and you just used the model
Speaker 1: that the NFL has very possibly And you know, until whenever,
Speaker 1: maybe before COVID, we always looked at Mark Emerated as
Speaker 1: the head of the nc double A. I can assure you,
Speaker 1: Greg thank you would take your call before he would
Speaker 1: take Mark Emirate's call right now. And I don't mean
Speaker 1: that as an insult to you. I mean I've heard
Speaker 1: him on the show many times, but I mean Emirate
Speaker 1: is is really powerless. He's just but he doesn't care.
Speaker 1: He just know he's almost seventy years old. He just
Speaker 1: cast a new contract in for five million dollars a year,
Speaker 1: whatever it is, and so's he's quietly going to wherever
Speaker 1: former NCUBA presidents go. It's usually to be a consultant.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that is exactly right. And I don't if
Speaker 1: I could just say something off the record, because I
Speaker 1: don't want anyone to quote me on this. But let's
Speaker 1: not forget who the other partner is here. Dan, it's
Speaker 1: your former employee in Bristol, Connecticut. I mean, they have
Speaker 1: just a tremendous investment in the SEC. Not only do
Speaker 1: they control most of what everything, everything that happens outside
Speaker 1: of two thirty or three thirty on Saturday afternoon, they
Speaker 1: had the SEC network, and now they're about to take
Speaker 1: over the most valuable piece of property left. That's the
Speaker 1: three thirty CBS window, which is not supposed to go
Speaker 1: into effect for a couple of years, but something tells
Speaker 1: me that might be expedated. And they also control the
Speaker 1: college football Playoff, which we've heard a lot of double
Speaker 1: talk recently about why it may expand and next two
Speaker 1: years from now or five years from now. Greg Sanky
Speaker 1: is also the key guy there. So all of this
Speaker 1: is going to start coming together very quickly. My former employer,
Speaker 1: your current employer, esp Well. I say that because whenever
Speaker 1: you go on a program like the Dan Patrick's Show,
Speaker 1: you don't know if somebody has their finger on the
Speaker 1: nuclear button that says you are no longer employed. That's
Speaker 1: but if you want to get fired. This is the
Speaker 1: place to do it. Okay. Oh and by the way,
Speaker 1: if if I go down, I would like to go
Speaker 1: down on the show. I'm wondering about if your USC,
Speaker 1: if you're Oregon, how concerned would you be in the
Speaker 1: PAC twelve right now with what's going on in the SEC. Well,
Speaker 1: I think as long as the twelve team playoff goes
Speaker 1: into effect reasonably soon, I don't think you're going to
Speaker 1: be as concerned because you still have a chance. Now
Speaker 1: you know, the first twelve team playoff may involve ten
Speaker 1: SEC school. I say that somewhat jokingly, but not really.
Speaker 1: When you if you add, I mean with Texas in Oklahoma,
Speaker 1: you're just you're giving yourself more more wiggle room and
Speaker 1: more room for ERA. But I think you know, I've
Speaker 1: heard all these you know, big ten berries, uh PAC twelve,
Speaker 1: all these marriages. What how has that worked out for
Speaker 1: the Big ten I mean big ten Tans? Can you uh,
Speaker 1: can you name anything about Rutgers or Maryland or Nebraska?
Speaker 1: I mean that exactly that hasn't exactly gone over well
Speaker 1: and and frankly, most editions don't. It's hard to get
Speaker 1: the right school in your league. But you know, nobody
Speaker 1: can tell me that these two are wrong for the SEC. No,
Speaker 1: and you know, nobody cared. They wanted the New York
Speaker 1: market with Rutgers, but they don't care about college football
Speaker 1: in New York. Uh Maryland, they don't care about Maryland
Speaker 1: and Maryland. Uh Nebraska. Nebraska used to be Nebraska. But
Speaker 1: this global expansion that the Big Ten had, You're right,
Speaker 1: it didn't work out. I was curious about Oklahoma then,
Speaker 1: and let's say you've expanded to twelve teams. Lahoma in
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve was guaranteed of playing in the playoffs
Speaker 1: every single year and a pretty easy road as well
Speaker 1: as opposed to the SEC. I know it's about money,
Speaker 1: but I just wondered about that that part of this,
Speaker 1: that ol Cloma is giving up that you know, the uh,
Speaker 1: the fast lane to play for a national title. They are,
Speaker 1: but you know, it doesn't matter what happens during the season.
Speaker 1: And you know, the Oklahoma Iowa state game, which I
Speaker 1: think was the Big Twelve championship game last year. I mean,
Speaker 1: that just doesn't resonate even though they're really good teams.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be knocking some of the best
Speaker 1: teams in the country, but yeah, one thing, the one
Speaker 1: thing the Big twelve never had that you need nowadays
Speaker 1: is your is a conference network. And I realized I
Speaker 1: worked for one dan, but the Big twelve didn't have that,
Speaker 1: and that really hurt them. And and ultimately Texas drives
Speaker 1: this has been driving this busts. Oklahoma has considered the
Speaker 1: SEC for about ten years. There have been that channel conversation.
Speaker 1: But remember ten years ago when college football was about
Speaker 1: to be blown up, Texas wanted to go to the
Speaker 1: Pack twelve. And the reason because they felt their academics
Speaker 1: marriage Stanford's in California's and schools like that, and welcome
Speaker 1: to the SEC. We've we've got good schools here too,
Speaker 1: you folks in Austin. But yeah, things change, and you know,
Speaker 1: I hate to sound like we're a bunch of role
Speaker 1: of Russian oligarch sitting around the Putain's Black Sea palace,
Speaker 1: but it's all about money, and the money down here
Speaker 1: is just a lot more valuable than the money out there.
Speaker 1: What do you do if you're Clemson, Wow, you're I
Speaker 1: mean one, on one hand, you're you're assured of your league,
Speaker 1: but your your brand has gone down a little bit
Speaker 1: because the ACC has some real issues. I heard over
Speaker 1: the weekend the ACC was was looking to expand and
Speaker 1: one of the first schools they were talking about is
Speaker 1: West Virginia. Now, they turned their nose up at West
Speaker 1: Virginia ten years ago. Dan and West Virginia had to
Speaker 1: I tell it across the country. So I mean, you'll
Speaker 1: you'll add a few schools, but you can't compete. And
Speaker 1: I'm not saying, well, it'll be back up for a second.
Speaker 1: The biggest prize left out there is Notre Dame, and
Speaker 1: they're kind of half in the ACC. But yeah, if
Speaker 1: you know there Dame, why why do you why do
Speaker 1: you need the ACC right now? You already have the
Speaker 1: benefit of it in basketball. You collect the money there
Speaker 1: and you play five games a year and you have
Speaker 1: your own TV network. It doesn't make much right now,
Speaker 1: It doesn't make much sense. Yeah, I wondered if there
Speaker 1: is a bigger play for Notre Dame if if you know,
Speaker 1: it's musical chairs and the music is still going and
Speaker 1: there's still chairs available. I just didn't know. If Notre
Speaker 1: Dame makes it official and says we're part of the ACC,
Speaker 1: well I don't. I don't have the authority to do that.
Speaker 1: But since I do work at the SEC network, Notre
Speaker 1: Dame would like to join the SEC. I'll go ahead
Speaker 1: and give the invitation out right now on the Dan
Speaker 1: Patricks All right, this just in, mister SEC. Paull find
Speaker 1: Bomb express an invitation to Notre Dame. Okay, they just
Speaker 1: said yes, okay, Yeah, And Paul McCartney will see the
Speaker 1: national anthem at the first Notre Dame Alabama game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is wild. Could there be any hiccups with Oklahoma
Speaker 1: and Texas joining the SEC? I don't think so. I mean,
Speaker 1: this thing was already down the track pretty far when
Speaker 1: the news broke last Wednesday, as I'm sure you mentioned Thursday, ironically,
Speaker 1: right as Jimbo Fisher was about to get in front
Speaker 1: of the microphone, and I'm sitting there courtside, we have
Speaker 1: a setup and I look over and there's the athletics
Speaker 1: director at Texas AM. He's conveniently available for comment too.
Speaker 1: And just for the point, just for you trivia experts,
Speaker 1: it's the first time we've seen an athletic director at
Speaker 1: SEC media days in only eleven years. Well, I that
Speaker 1: was one of those if you're an m it didn't
Speaker 1: look good that they just sort of bypassed you. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like monopoly, where you have Baltic and Oriental and
Speaker 1: though like you know, you just kind of blow right
Speaker 1: by them. Even though A and M is a big
Speaker 1: time program and has done well, they just treated them
Speaker 1: like on the monopoly board. Uh, we're already over here
Speaker 1: to a boardwalk and park place. Hey, we loved you then,
Speaker 1: so get out of our way as we are to
Speaker 1: Austin and invite the Longhorns. NBEV. I went to the league. Man,
Speaker 1: just made your job easier, that's all it did. It did,
Speaker 1: Thank you, buddy. We appreciate your time as always, Dan,
Speaker 1: It's always a pleasure. Thanks for inviting me. That's Paul Finbam,
Speaker 1: Paul Finebam Show on ESPN Radio and the Voice of
Speaker 1: the SEC. Yeah, we reached out last week and you know,
Speaker 1: you want to get the right people on who are
Speaker 1: connected and to get Paul, and Paul was really busy.
Speaker 1: And you know, Fritzie doesn't take no and I just said,
Speaker 1: just ask Paul when he'll be available, that we will
Speaker 1: take him whenever he's available. Yes, it's fascinating how different
Speaker 1: college and pro football are, like the structure of the
Speaker 1: sport that how the schedules are made that you know,
Speaker 1: one foot in, two feet in on the field and
Speaker 1: off the field. College football and are not alike it anyway.
Speaker 1: You know, they control their own schedules. The coaches basically
Speaker 1: in the athletictors to make town schedules. Imagine if you
Speaker 1: let Bill Belichick make the Patriots schedule every year and
Speaker 1: the other teams had to like get in line to
Speaker 1: play them, or you know, let's say the New York
Speaker 1: Giants said, you know, we're gonna go play out West.
Speaker 1: We want to do more trips. Well, there'd be certain schools,
Speaker 1: certain teams that you would have to play. So you
Speaker 1: have to play the Jets, you have to play the
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, you have to play the Miami Dolphins. But
Speaker 1: then the other games where the non conference scheduling games
Speaker 1: where you'd go, uh, Bengals got an open date. Uh
Speaker 1: Carolina got an open date. Yeah. Mcglev But just the
Speaker 1: fact that you're comparing the two shows that college football
Speaker 1: is basically a pro sport. Yes, so they should. They're
Speaker 1: gonna have to be paid, I mean as pros if
Speaker 1: you're gonna have put them on the same line. It's
Speaker 1: the bottles. It can't last maybe five more years, ten
Speaker 1: more years. Larry in Texas joining US, Hi, Larry, what's
Speaker 1: on your mind? Then? Two points I wanted to make.
Speaker 1: First of all, is a long time Texas fan. I
Speaker 1: think going to the SEC as a mistake. It's been
Speaker 1: great financially, but competitively, I think it'll be a disaster.
Speaker 1: Texas has enough problem to TCU, Iowa State, and Baylor,
Speaker 1: they don't really need to be messing with Auburn, Alabama
Speaker 1: and Georgia. And secondly, I just heard this, this story
Speaker 1: just came out over the weekend regarding the name, image
Speaker 1: and likeness. UT fan site called Orangeblood dot com has
Speaker 1: signed two players, one football player and one baseball player
Speaker 1: too exclusive interview rights. And as a former retired as
Speaker 1: a retired journalist, I think that's a terrible idea. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wondered about that, where you know the conflict of
Speaker 1: interest there and you got exclusive rights to uh, you know,
Speaker 1: TV station or network and then nobody can interview you,
Speaker 1: Like there's certain people that you know, we tried to
Speaker 1: get on the show, but then they're contractually obligated to
Speaker 1: whether it's the network or a local show, and then
Speaker 1: they can't do it. But that's what's going to happen
Speaker 1: with some of these big time athletes is let's say
Speaker 1: somebody says, hey, we want the exclusive rights for Spencer Rattler,
Speaker 1: the Oklahoma quarterback, and the only place where he's going
Speaker 1: to do an interview this season is going to be
Speaker 1: with us. And what's that worth? He's going to be
Speaker 1: a Heisman Trophy candidate. I mean, pro athletes do it.
Speaker 1: You know Tom Brady was with w EEI. He didn't
Speaker 1: do that because hey, I like getting up and talking
Speaker 1: to these guys in the morning. He got paid. Coaches
Speaker 1: do this locally all the time. You're gonna have players
Speaker 1: do the same thing. Eli Manning did this when you
Speaker 1: know he was in New York. He got a contract
Speaker 1: obligation with WFA N where every whatever day Tuesday at
Speaker 1: five o'clock, he would be there and he'd spend a
Speaker 1: half hour talking about the Giants. College kids are going
Speaker 1: to do the same thing. Yeah, I'm the club. Yeah again,
Speaker 1: it sounds like my pro league. Sure sounds like it.
Speaker 1: Mike and Louisiana, Hi, Mike, thanks for holding what's on
Speaker 1: your mind? Hey Dan uh second time long Time six one,
Speaker 1: two twenty My best and worst of the weekend. I
Speaker 1: was at my son's AU tournament. They made to the
Speaker 1: championship game. Halftime, they're down twenty eight to six. My
Speaker 1: son goes in at halftime. He's really quiet. Kid, do
Speaker 1: the rousing speech. Tell the team that the father's fifth
Speaker 1: his birthday, and I'm his biggest the biggest supporter, and
Speaker 1: he wants to win the game for the met They
Speaker 1: go back and the kids not. They win the game,
Speaker 1: The win championship games forty eight to forty four. I
Speaker 1: got a little tricky phone call there, Mike, But happy birthday.
Speaker 1: Over the weekend. By the way, Shoho Tani hit another
Speaker 1: home run. I could just listen to. I don't even
Speaker 1: have to see the video, and in fact I saw
Speaker 1: the video and then I just said, all right, I'm
Speaker 1: close my eyes and just listen to that sound, because
Speaker 1: that sound is violent. I mean it is. That's a
Speaker 1: different sound when he hits a home run. Kind of
Speaker 1: a quiet start to the second half of the season.
Speaker 1: But he's got thirty five home runs. He's hit more
Speaker 1: home runs through the first ninety eight games than anyone
Speaker 1: in Angel's history, and more than anybody in baseball since
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen. That's when Chris Davis had thirty seven home
Speaker 1: runs through the first ninety eight games with the Orioles Show.
Speaker 1: That's his own stat of the day sounder. It sounds
Speaker 1: that's just a different sounding bat, but it sounds that
Speaker 1: way because of what he's doing with it. Show. I
Speaker 1: imagine if you're at a game and you know it's
Speaker 1: not loud when somebody's pitching, because you're just there up
Speaker 1: in the beer and you're like, you know, telling your son, Hey,
Speaker 1: Otani's up, and then all of a sudden it's quiet
Speaker 1: and you here, what do As long as it's not
Speaker 1: going into the stands and it's going out the other way,
Speaker 1: you're good. Yeah, I give you're in right field. If
Speaker 1: I hear that, I duck, I get under the seat.
Speaker 1: Do you hear that? And it's a screamer down the
Speaker 1: first baseline in trouble? Yeah? Pause. Remember a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago when everyone's upset because they put the netting
Speaker 1: down the foul line. I would love to have netting.
Speaker 1: Give me some more netting, man, who look at all? Right,
Speaker 1: we'll take a break. Last call for phone calls. What

Speaker 1: Matt Damon will join us on the program. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember the last time he joined us. He called
Speaker 1: in from Miami and it's not like he had some
Speaker 1: pr person. There was no team there with him. He
Speaker 1: was just calling from his home phone and Paulie looked
Speaker 1: at the area code. It was three oh five and said,
Speaker 1: hey are you calling? Where you calling from? Miami? And
Speaker 1: Matt Damon goes, yeah, you know you got caller ID
Speaker 1: And Paul goes yeah. He goes, wait, my number is
Speaker 1: supposed to be blocked. So Paul, he's given Matt Damon advice.

Speaker 1: more important than me. Don't you have a team that
Speaker 1: could help you here? You're Jason Bourne. You can't work
Speaker 1: out caller ID. You could save the world, but you
Speaker 1: can't get your phone and stuff together. So Matt Damon

Speaker 1: sports history, PAULI, what do you have? Got a few?
Speaker 1: The eighteen fifty nine the regatta in Worcester, mass was Harvard,
Speaker 1: beat Yale and Brown, the first ever collegiate rowing regatta,
Speaker 1: and let's see nineteen forty eight. Babe Ruth was last
Speaker 1: seen in public nineteen forty eight, when he attended the
Speaker 1: New York City premier of the motion picture the Babe
Speaker 1: Ruth story. Ironically, it was his last public appearance, and
Speaker 1: that's it. All the others are negative, like some disaster.
Speaker 1: Nineteen eighty four, Pete Rose tied thy Cobb with his
Speaker 1: three thousand, five hundred and second single. He had thirty
Speaker 1: five hundred singles in his career, or at least up
Speaker 1: to that point. I don't know what that. Can we
Speaker 1: check five thousand, No, three thousand, five hundred? What was
Speaker 1: the first thing you read? Uh? That that Pete Rose
Speaker 1: ties thy Cobb with his three thousand, five hundred and
Speaker 1: second single, But I don't know if it was a
Speaker 1: single and that was that doesn't make a So ty
Speaker 1: Cobb had the record, it wouldn't be hits because thy
Speaker 1: Comb had four thousand, one hundred ninety two. I believe
Speaker 1: I'm confused here. A lot of singles, But what was
Speaker 1: his OBP? What was his war? Oh? Yeah, exactly, That's
Speaker 1: that's what I forgot to find that out there. Final
Speaker 1: results of the poll question, McLean, who's getting trade this week?
Speaker 1: Forget Aaron Rodgers, Shawn Watson, It's Chris Bryant is on
Speaker 1: the way out according to our voters. All right, Brandy
Speaker 1: and Iowa's back. Hi, Brandy, Hey DP, Hey, best and
Speaker 1: worst of the weekend. Best. Next time you're with your
Speaker 1: kids at a tournament and they lose in that first round,
Speaker 1: and you always go, all right, we're onto the loser's bracket.
Speaker 1: New word I learned from the Olympics is repassage in
Speaker 1: rowing jaency worts for saying, when you don't win your heat,
Speaker 1: you go down to the loser's bracket to row your
Speaker 1: way back to the winner's bracket. So the next time
Speaker 1: your kid gets knocked down to the lower brackets, the
Speaker 1: same we're going to the repersage is bracket. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: thank you, Brandy, My kids aren't competing. We were always
Speaker 1: in the repassage bracket with my kids. I have a
Speaker 1: friend in Arizona and his son is really good in baseball,
Speaker 1: and he's always telling me traveling all the time, you know,
Speaker 1: and I go, man, I'm so glad my kids weren't
Speaker 1: good in athletic never had to go anywhere. It is
Speaker 1: travel team. No, no, there's no travel team. No. I
Speaker 1: don't all they barely got on the local team where
Speaker 1: you only travel like a mile to play baseball. Matt
Speaker 1: in Ohio, Hi, Matt, what do you have for me
Speaker 1: best and worst of the weekend? Hey Dan six foot four,
Speaker 1: a skinny fat, two hundred pounds, All right, thank you?
Speaker 1: And I guess I just got a question actually for
Speaker 1: the band or the music guy Setan. Have you ever
Speaker 1: heard of Greta van Vleet and if so, what's your opinion?
Speaker 1: Do you like them or not? I like it, you
Speaker 1: know the Little Zeppelin feel like hard rock? There? Seton?
Speaker 1: What do you think of Greta? Um, I have heard them.
Speaker 1: I don't listen much or really actually, to be honest,
Speaker 1: I never listened to them, although i've heard them. Um
Speaker 1: and yeah I get the whole led Zeppelin thing for sure,
Speaker 1: but yeah, they're they're good. Yeah. Just to clarify, Greta
Speaker 1: van Vleet is a band and not a person. Yes,
Speaker 1: and there's no one named named Greta in the band
Speaker 1: or van Fleet van Vleet. It appears that way. Is
Speaker 1: Fred van Vleet in Greta van Vleet checking? Okay, no, no,
Speaker 1: Maybe we should start a band called Greta van Vleet
Speaker 1: and only do songs about Fred van Vleet. Wow, how
Speaker 1: about we have a band called Greta van Sustern, right
Speaker 1: and uh, the former Fox host and we just have
Speaker 1: songs about Greta van SUSTERNI, yeah, Greta Fred. We've had
Speaker 1: too much use of the word niche or niche its Olympics.
Speaker 1: It happens. I know, I know, I know. That's why
Speaker 1: I'm saying we have to put like a moratorium on
Speaker 1: the number of times we can say it's a niche sport.
Speaker 1: Why don't we curate all the way we've used it
Speaker 1: and then we can decide that's the narrative right now.
Speaker 1: You know, see I'm curating my playlist to go cross
Speaker 1: country and I need suggestions. Then that means you're not curate. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you lose points on Around the Horn with
Speaker 1: Tony Rally when you bring up narrative, when you like,
Speaker 1: there's a couple of buzzwords that that people we use.
Speaker 1: A narrative is one of those. Yes, people get upset
Speaker 1: when you refer to their sport as a niche sport,
Speaker 1: Like if you're a fan of blank sport, because yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a cool sport, it's a niche. It's niche. They
Speaker 1: get defensive, it's skateboarding and a niche sport. It's a
Speaker 1: massive sport. But it's but is it a niche sport?
Speaker 1: Satan skateboarding goes in waves where it has unbelievable popularity
Speaker 1: and then completely falls off the face of the earth,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden it has insane popularity
Speaker 1: against I would say yes, it is niche niche, Yes, mclone,
Speaker 1: I would say definitely not, because unless they've changed the
Speaker 1: rules and there's no ball involved, that it is not
Speaker 1: a sport. There you go. Dan did compare it to uh,
Speaker 1: cannonballing in a pool earlier, so it's not very much
Speaker 1: of a sport. Yeah, so there's no ball, it's not
Speaker 1: a sport. Oh well, I mean it's activity. You're you're back.
Speaker 1: It's good to have you back. McLevin. Oh are you
Speaker 1: worried what I like the Beatles earlier? Yeah, because I'm thinking, no,
Speaker 1: I don't want McLevin liking the Beatles for so many
Speaker 1: years that you I don't get the Beatles, I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, they just do. I want to hold your
Speaker 1: hand and yeah, yeah yeah, have you seen the Start
Speaker 1: and Pepper's Thing. This is a great album, Dan, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they changed music. That music will live longer than we will.
Speaker 1: I saw sixty minutes piece last night on Prince's music
Speaker 1: and they take you down not in the vault. He
Speaker 1: does have a vault full of music. They said, he
Speaker 1: probably has ten thousand songs that haven't been released, and
Speaker 1: they probably are going to put out an album every year.
Speaker 1: And he's he's I think he makes the most of
Speaker 1: all the deceased musicians, and he might make the most money,
Speaker 1: which I thought it might be. All but Prince is
Speaker 1: still and he didn't leave a will. And you got
Speaker 1: everybody's sort of navigating there of what's my piece here?
