WEBVTT - Hour 3 - Al Michaels, Dan Le Batard 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:08.399 Sports Radio Final Hour on this Wednesday. It's been a 0:00:08.480 --> 0:00:11.479 lot of fun reminiscing about Vin sculling. We brought back 0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:14.440 an interview that we conducted with Vin in twenty fourteen. 0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:18.919 He had just joined Twitter, didn't know exactly what Twitter was, 0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:22.880 but be joining Twitter in twenty fourteen, Your phone calls 0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:26.159 had been great. If you missed Brian Cranston's email that 0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:28.480 he sent to me earlier this morning, the great actor. 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:30.440 I don't think he was ready to come on the 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:33.559 show and talk about what Vin Scully meant to him 0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:36.320 growing up in Los Angeles. We will put his email 0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:40.320 with his permission on our newsletter later today. Was very, 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:43.600 very touching. Your phone calls are always welcome. I thought 0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:47.239 about this. You are super spoiled if you're in Los Angeles, 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.600 and I mean that in a good way. Bevin Scully 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.520 sixty seven years with the Dodgers, check her in forty 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:56.480 one years with the Lakers, Bob Miller forty four years 0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:59.920 with the Kings. Dick Enberg did the Rams in the 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:04.080 Angels in UCLA basketball, Tom Kelly did USC for forty 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:09.920 two years. Spoiled, but in a good way we bring 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:12.840 in one of the great broadcasters of all time Hall 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:16.280 of Fame, Amazon Thursday Night Football play by Playboys, Al 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:19.959 Michaels joining us on the program. Al, thanks for joining us. 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:23.160 When I say the name Vince Scully, what comes to mind? 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:29.640 One of the kind nobody like him. Can't imagine there 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:32.360 will be anybody like him in the future. It's a 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:36.319 different template now. Then he in those sixty seven years, 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:41.560 did most of the games by himself. He had a partner, 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:43.920 Jerry Doggett, for a number of years, but then he 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:46.360 would do seven innings by himself, and then Jerry would 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.400 do two, and then in the latter years then he 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.840 would do six innings on television, maybe three on radio, 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:57.120 or nine innings on TV. When you think about it, 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:02.480 how many people have a job, any job, or work 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:06.640 for sixty seven consecutive years, or have the same job 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:11.120 for sixty seven consecutive years and bring it, bring it 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:16.119 every day. Not only did I moved to Los Angeles 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.560 when the Dodgers moved here, but I was in Brooklyn 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.640 and we lived within walking distance of Embitsfield. And the 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:23.880 first thing in my life I can ever remember is 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:27.320 walking into eachield with my father when I was six 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.400 or seven and Bennie was maybe in his first or 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:33.519 second year with the Dodgers and just falling in love 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:37.560 with the atmosphere with baseball. My father said, that's where 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:41.200 the guys who were announcing the game are in that 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.520 broadcast booth up there. I looked up there, and that 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.639 was the first thing I ever remember, and that made 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:51.800 me want to get into broadcasting. So there's no question 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:55.919 Vinnie was my very early idol. I tried to emulate 0:02:56.000 --> 0:03:00.919 him when I got the Hawaii Islander job, professional job 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:04.240 doing minor league baseball in sixty eight. I'm flying over there, 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.320 and the only thing I'm thinking on the plane, Dan, 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:10.600 is just sound like Vinnie. I'm very nervous, I'm starting 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.560 my career, and I did sound like Vinnie. I sounded 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:15.280 like a Minnie clone for so many years. And then, 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:18.320 of course I was able to bring my own style 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:20.359 to it. But there was always a lot of Vinnie 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.359 in me, and I knew him. And I can only 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:26.600 tell you, Dan, that if if there was a contest 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:30.639 who were best baseball announcer of all time and there 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:34.160 was a horse race, Vinnie was secretariat, winning the Belmont 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:37.120 by thirty one lanes. You remember the first time you 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:42.160 met him. I do. I actually met him. He was 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.760 on vacation in Hawaii when I was doing the Islanders 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:47.360 and there was the off season. I was living there 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:50.480 full time and I was doing the local sports on 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.520 television and I knew he was at the at that time, 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.720 the Kahala Hilton, and I just called the room and 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.920 I was very nervous, and I said, Hi, mister Scully, 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:04.160 I'm al Michaels and I'm on television here. Would you 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.440 mind if I came down with a camera and, you know, 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:08.560 talk to you for a couple of minutes. Oh? Sure, 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.880 is how Benny put it. And I went down there 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:16.839 and I was I was so nervous, and he was great, 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.840 and he remembered it. Not that many years later, when 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.760 I'm doing the Cincinnati Reds and my first year with 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:24.880 the resident the Big Red Machine, I've got Rose and 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.640 Bench and Perez and Morgan would come the next year 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:31.640 and our first trip to La Vinny asked me to 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.520 go on the pregame show Dodger Warm Up, and that 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:36.480 was one of the great thrills of my life. I 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:39.479 listened that show from the time I was a child 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:43.160 and Vinny's interviewing me on the radio. It was something 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:47.760 I'll ever forget. You talked about that style that if 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:51.800 you came up with that style now that I can't 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.920 imagine a TV or radio executive is going to go, well, yeah, 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.719 come on in. You know you're gonna you're gonna do 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:02.800 the game by yourself. Okay, Yeah, not going to happen. Man, 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:04.520 you might have to yell a little bit more to 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:07.200 one the audition. Yeah, gotta have a catch phraser too, 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:11.599 and or ken or you know, or be or be 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:13.760 dued perfect and come on to Amazon and do the 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:18.800 author ask you know, I mean, God bless everybody, and 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:22.400 all the times are changing. Times you think so, yeah, 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.440 you think so a little time. Yeah, but you know, 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:28.800 but Vinny, Vinny was forever and even at the end 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.920 of his career, and you know he ended it in 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.760 the two thy sixteen. Great honor for me that they 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:36.640 were honoring viny on opening day and they asked me 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:38.440 to come and see it and bring out all the 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:42.039 Dodgers and UH and all the people who were close 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:45.640 to him. He am. He was at the end of 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.200 his career, and as they said, he brought it every 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:51.359 day because through the years. They had a lot of 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.400 great teams and some bad teams. But I would be 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:58.760 driving home from wherever, you know, seven eight years ago, 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.080 being get the driveway, open up the garage door, and 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.440 then if then he was telling a story, I would 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.200 just stop, let the car idle, and I had to 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.400 hear the rest of the story. He was that good 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:13.480 for sixty seven years. It's just impossible. Nobody could Nobody 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:17.360 could ever duplicate that. Nobody. But also he did other sports. 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:22.039 You know, did football, he did golf, did Game of 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:26.720 the Week with baseball. But to be able to tell 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.880 those stories and radio is different than TV. As you 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:34.039 well know, TV your role is to compliment what we 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:37.720 get to see. Radio I got to create everything. So 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:41.200 to be able to do that, the same broadcast that's 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.440 going to be on TV and on radio is kind 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.839 of a that's a double header. That's that's tricky to 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:50.760 pull off. Very uh. You know you mentioned Chick Kern. 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:55.280 Chick did that, but Chick did a silcast. So Chick 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.920 did radio and TV both and had to do basically 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:02.200 a radio broad asked because if you were doing a 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:05.720 television broadcast on radio, the radio listener was going to 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:09.240 miss a lot. Uh, so there was. It was probably 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:13.000 overly wordy, but basketball lent itself to being overly wordy. 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:16.280 Iman the game is a fast paced game as opposed 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:19.679 to what baseball is. But Vinnie was able to Vinnie 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.960 made the transition perfectly. He knew how to you know, 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:29.120 work both mediums. He was so descriptive obviously on radio 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:32.320 and radio. Lets you use every verb in the dictionary. 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:37.360 Television you're doing a lot of captions and speaking in ellipses. Uh, 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:41.000 you're feeling. I mean the verb is visual. You can 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:42.760 see how it's a line drive, it's a pop fly, 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:46.000 whatever it is. Vinnie knew how to do it perfectly. 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:50.280 He was He was phenomenal at that and as I say, 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.239 I can't think if anybody anybody like him couldn't happen again. 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:57.440 Among other things, you know now teams have eight, nine, 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:00.400 ten announcers, guys have you know, thirty eight days off 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:03.000 and all of that for so many years. Then he 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.560 did one hundred and sixty two games and every every 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:07.480 spring training game, and they got from the playoffs and 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:09.960 in World Series a lot. So if then he did 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:13.840 everything all the time, and how his voice even held 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.080 up was amazing, and you mentioned he did other sports. 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.000 I'll never forget he told me once. He said he 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:22.080 was always hesitant to do that. He said, because if 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:26.680 you're on too much, people won't miss you. But if 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:28.800 you if you just do the right amount, they can't 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:32.599 wait for you to get back. I understood that. And 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.680 you know, during the years when some of us in 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:39.000 the business would be doing would be doing so many things, 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:41.199 it's like at a certain point, you know, people are 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.560 gonna go him again, you know. So then he was 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:48.240 always very very cognizant of that. I think I need 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:49.960 to take a couple of months off of that now 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:53.600 because I've been doing it every single day for for 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:57.840 a long long time. Thursday Night Football with Kirk curb Street. 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:03.040 What is the one thing that you want answered this 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:05.560 upcoming season? What would be the question you would have 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:08.200 going into the season. Well, we just had a three 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:13.000 day seminar and they really brought together a pretty amazing 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:15.680 group of people, and Kirk and I, you know, we 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:17.720 haven't worked together, but we're going to do a practice 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:20.840 game here in Los Angeles before we do a regular 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.839 preseason game in Houston at the end of at the 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:27.959 end of August, and then the Chargers in Kansas City. 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:32.880 It's gonna work. I mean, Kirk is usually prepared. Fred 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.199 Goodilly as our producer, who have worked with the twenty 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:38.360 one years. Pierre Muslin has a lot of experience. The director. 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.200 We're bringing Kaylee Hardtime who's done sports in the past, 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.959 and she's going to do the sideline. Our support people 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:49.080 are are are really really good, and I think that 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:53.760 you know, you can't reinvent the wheel. The game is 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.720 the game. The game is the most important thing. And 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:58.080 the end of the day, you know, when I had 0:09:58.080 --> 0:09:59.840 to get up and talk a little bit at the seminar, 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:01.960 say hey, look at the game as a star. And 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:05.400 we're all here and we've got it's a pretty eclectic 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:09.240 and very interesting pregame cast we have with like Keith 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:15.640 to Leave and Richard Sherman and Andrew Whitworth, Tony Gonzalez, 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:19.760 Charissa Thompson. They were up there the other day and 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:21.800 then they put on a little bit of a show 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:25.000 that was fantastic. I gotta tell you so, I'm gonna 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.559 be very interested to see how that works out. You 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:31.280 got the alternate FeAs would dude perfect, and god knows 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:35.199 what us We're gonna have coming along. But you know, Dan, 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:39.360 when it comes down to it, the huge majority of 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:42.680 the audience, the vast majority, they want to watch the game. 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:47.480 So am I going to be different? Doubtful? Can I 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.000 be better? You know, you can tweak it. Fred Gudilli 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.040 and I every year we do a press tour and 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:54.280 the press would always say, what are you gonna do 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:56.320 that's different? And I would say no, The question is 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:58.760 what are you gonna do that's better? How do you 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:00.400 enhance it? How do you make it? How do you 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.760 make it better? It's as simple as that. But you 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.240 don't do that by changing the whole template. You can't. 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.040 At this point, Well, the game is what changes. You 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:12.240 don't change the game changes because it's you know, it's 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:16.960 a different game every single week. Um. Can you embrace 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:21.360 gambling more on the broadcast now than maybe in previous 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:26.000 years on NBC? Yes, But you know you don't want 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:29.360 to overdo that either because as much as you know, 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:31.440 I've been the rascal through the years and thrown in 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:34.760 you know, little aside just to the old Runder and 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:38.240 all of the rest, and I've loved I've loved doing that. 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:40.600 So I mean I was coming into the back door, 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:42.360 the side door. I can come in the front door 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:48.560 right now, but welcome. But if you start doing that, 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.959 you know, look, a lot of people bet on the game, 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.960 do certain things, maybe bet whether it's run past whatever. 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:59.679 Um no, but I still think the vast majority of 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.760 the audience is not into that. You can have some 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:05.320 fun with it. You can talk about it in terms 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:08.120 of what sort of an upset this is or how 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.880 unusual something is, but to make that a big part 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.920 of the game, no, I'm not going to go there. 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.400 When's the first time you refer to Kirk as Chris? 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:23.960 And how about the first time that he refers to 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:27.680 me as Chris? We got dueling Chris is here? Don't 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:31.040 forget Chris Fowler. Yeah, yeah, we each work with a Chris. 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:35.599 Mine doesn't have an H minus cr I s is 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:41.000 ah r, I s when's the first time? That's a 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.080 good question. But I will tell you this. I did 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:48.079 twenty years of Monday night football. I did sixteen years 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:49.880 of Sunday and I got to tell you the first 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:53.480 few years on Sunday. I cannot believe I didn't say 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.840 Monday Night Football. I can't believe it. It was always 0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:00.440 there in my brain, and even in converse stations with 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:02.360 people through the years, I would refer to my show 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.600 as Monday, I excuse me, Sunday Night Football. It never 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.960 happened on the air for some crazy reason, so I 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:13.080 would say the over under is, but it may happen now. 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.240 I mean, I'm at a different point in life and everything. 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:21.520 I give it six. I give it six games. Great 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:23.360 to talk to you. I hope the golf game is good. 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:27.000 It stinks. So what can I tell you? You know what? 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:29.720 Can you gotta swing a thought for me? Give me, 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:31.720 give me a swing thoat. I've got like nine hundred 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:37.400 of my iPhone. How about most of them? When you swing? Yeah, 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:43.599 when you take it back? Yes, Johnny Miller, Oh for 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:47.920 crying out loud? So um, well you do?

Good morning, Dan, how are you? 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:36.120 Is it? Is it? Dan? You only call me when 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:39.720 this unending river of diarrhea that is the Miami Dolphins 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:44.720 does something nationally to embarrass our region and in stain 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:47.840 everything that used to be Dolphins football? Is it really 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:53.280 you call the laugh at me? M No with you. No. No. 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:57.400 I am trying to ascertain with the strongest parts of 0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:00.040 my soul whether or not you have any use of 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:03.520 this relationship except when an offensive line coach does cocaine 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:07.280 or an offensive lineman bullies somebody else. Like the only 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:10.480 times you called me. I saw you yesterday, I was 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:13.679 insane with jealousy. You're talking to Pat McAfee about the 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:16.560 origins of his career. But me, no, it's only when 0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:21.840 the Dolphins do something stupid. It's infuriating, it's hurtful. I 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:24.679 was excited, like we played yesterday. We had a sixty 0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:27.800 five yard pass in training camp that represented the best 0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:29.720 thing that's happened here in twenty years, and we got 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:33.160 so excited that we were playing Tea Paine's terrible Dolphins 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:52.520 song yesterday. Listen this, Hey, the greatest leam, Wow, it's 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:56.639 music in my heart. And then so and then I'm like, 0:19:56.840 --> 0:19:59.120 and then I'm avoiding when I see your call come 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:01.720 up on the like, really they're calling me again. It's 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:04.640 the only time they're interested in me. Oh, that song 0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:09.640 can really inspire you to maybe tamper or tank? Which 0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:12.000 one do you want to talk about? Dan? With your Dolphins? 0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:19.000 The incompetence is laughably amusing at this point, is it 0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:24.200 not that you would This is the greatest winner we've known. 0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:28.240 And they lose the draft picks that it would have 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:32.800 cost to actually get him, so they only fail to 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:36.720 get him, and in so doing, the media gets everything 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:38.919 wrong on the front end of this. Dan. If you 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:42.280 remember how some of this broke. Adam, Schefter and Darlington 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:44.960 were out there for a weekend with the report that 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:49.240 Brady was retiring when he publicly sent out the statement 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:51.760 that wasn't meant as a retirement. He was meant as 0:20:51.800 --> 0:20:55.000 goodbye to Tampa, and Boston gets mad because they're like, 0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:56.919 why were we mentioned Well, you weren't mentioning because it 0:20:56.920 --> 0:20:59.800 wasn't meant as a retirement. He was coming to be 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:02.159 the quarterback for the Dolphins. Are to try to be 0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:05.520 through the executive route, you know, trying to do Lebron 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:08.159 stuff because he's figured out with the player empowerment that 0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:10.439 he's worth three hundred and seventy five million dollars as 0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:12.960 a side job that nobody knows he's any good at 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:15.199 because he can do anything he wants. And this was 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:18.439 such a gangster move that was almost executed, and the 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:21.520 Dolphins just screwed all of it up and it didn't 0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:25.080 happen only because of the unprecedented lawsuit that involves racism 0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:27.959 that cost them their coat. Okay, but can you at 0:21:28.040 --> 0:21:31.600 least respect the Dolphins that they're they're trying to win, 0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:35.200 so they they tampered. They tried to get Sean Payton 0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:38.320 tried to get Brady. They tried to tank so they 0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:41.560 could get Joe Burrow, so they're at least they're at 0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:46.560 least trying. I love that take, and we mocked Chris 0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:49.560 Cody for that take yesterday because how rare responsible it is. 0:21:49.680 --> 0:21:55.520 You're out here actively advocating for do everything, including cheating, 0:21:55.880 --> 0:21:58.560 just do it well and don't get caught. Yeah. I 0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:01.960 can't believe that that's where your career now taking new Patrick, 0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:04.360 where you're can't do the immortal thing to win? Why 0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:09.159 wouldn't you? But I'm in total agreement with you. Subjectionable 0:22:09.280 --> 0:22:12.720 is that he failed. Yes, they failed to successfully cheat 0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:17.520 well as opposed to cheating poorly. Yeah, I'm with you. 0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:22.000 Would you rather have Joe Burrow or Tom Brady? Um? 0:22:22.280 --> 0:22:26.080 I wow, well come on, I'd rather have Joe Burrow 0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:28.919 because well, no, you're right, I'd rather Brady because he's 0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:33.639 gonna last longer than Burrow. He's gonna play playing that 0:22:34.520 --> 0:22:37.200 right there. It's a hot take. It's just the most 0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:40.080 obvious thing. Brady is still gonna bring a winning Super 0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:45.000 Bowl actively dragging a dialysis machine next with the nurses 0:22:45.040 --> 0:22:48.480 from hospice running after him. How confident. Are you in 0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:53.560 Tua this year? I believe in the Dolphins this year 0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:57.719 for the first time in twenty five. Well, but they've 0:22:57.720 --> 0:22:59.879 they're masking it. You say, no, no, no, Twah, but 0:23:00.320 --> 0:23:02.800 Garoppolo got within a throw of being a champion, and 0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:05.639 they were disguising it. Like they've put all the pieces 0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:08.560 around him so that all he's got to do is 0:23:08.560 --> 0:23:12.320 be accurate and not have a historically bad offensive line. 0:23:12.440 --> 0:23:15.720 Everything like this has been pushed to the front, to 0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:18.000 the middle of the table, everything all or nothing has 0:23:18.040 --> 0:23:21.600 been fast forward and on the young quarterbacks because everyone's 0:23:21.640 --> 0:23:24.000 realized that you have to have value at that position 0:23:24.040 --> 0:23:26.280 in order to game the system. And for the moment, 0:23:26.320 --> 0:23:29.240 they have value at that position. He's cheap. Can you 0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:31.840 put all the things around him? They've got an offensive line? 0:23:31.880 --> 0:23:35.560 When I tell you historically bad Dan, I think it's impossible, 0:23:35.880 --> 0:23:39.400 impossible to evaluate what Tuah is given that he had 0:23:39.520 --> 0:23:43.480
