Don't let h beat you get him drive today. Well, 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:08.160 we had some basketball this morning. We know the United 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.320 States will play for the gold medal and the United 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:14.520 States was waiting to see if it would be France 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:18.800 or Luca Slovenia, and it came down to the last 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:22.360 possession and Luca did not take the shot. He passed 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:24.800 it to a teammate. Teammate had a shot blocked by 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:28.800 Nicholas Batoum. So France will play the United States for 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:32.920 the gold medal. And sometimes when you root for a 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:36.640 team or an individual, it feels like you're being an American, 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:41.400 that you're you're not rooting for Team USA, and it's 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:46.120 not anti USA. Sometimes you're pro underdog, that's it. And 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:49.840 Slovenia is a country of two million size of Dallas. 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.600 But if they advanced to the gold medal game, who 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.000 would you be rooting for? Now? I would root for 0:01:56.000 --> 0:02:00.880 the story, which would be Luca going against Team USA. 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.640 It's like Butler when Butler faced Duke, and probably a 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:06.600 lot of people said, hey, I'm going to root for Butler. 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:08.920 It's a better story, or you might not like Duke. 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:12.800 With Team USA, there's nobody there that you know. I 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:16.760 don't think anybody's polarizing. And I still love seeing Kevin 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.160 Durant out there. I think it's remarkable that he wanted 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.679 to play for Team USA. It's not an exciting team. 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:26.560 It's on a highlight driven team. I mean, Kevin Durant 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.160 just keeps, you know, pounding you with the rock. But 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:33.160 Drew Holliday probably dunked the last time I did. You know. 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.440 I love Dame Lillard, But you know, this feels like 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.280 it's Kevin Durant's team. But if you said Slovenia was 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:44.240 playing Team USA, I would be rooting for Slovenia. That's 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:48.440 a better story. It's Luca going for a gold medal 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:52.160 against Team USA. That didn't make me anti American, just 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.919 makes me pro underdog. That's what we like about the Olympics. 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.680 You love the story that you go way man, that 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:02.280 guy just won, or that team just won, that country 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:05.600 just one. I mean you're looking for these stories. That's 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:07.720 the beauty of what we have with the Olympics. But 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:11.960 Team USA versus France, I'm not that interested in this. 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.160 You know, hey, the curiosity of oh that's the guy 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:21.440 who first started the sports pandemic, Rudy Gobert, Nicholas Batum, 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:25.120 all right, I mean Tony Parker's not playing for France. 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:29.120 I didn't know that Taco fall is on the French 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:33.600 team who knew I guess that's him. Certainly looked like 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.560 a really really tall guy. Yes, big Lovin. Can I 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.119 share my thoughts on why the US doesn't blow out 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.160 these teams? Because the US I look at the box 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.600 score from last night, like they have ten guys who 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.360 are rotation playing lots of minutes, like where these other 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:48.520 teams have the six seven guys and they know who 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:51.120 has the ball and they know who's going for it. 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.640 So does that give you an advantage like to not 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:56.839 have that much talent in a way? Well, I think 0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.160 you want to have talent, but if you have too 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.040 much talent in you don't know who the man is, 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.600 except thankfully to rans emerge as the man, then you 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.960 can be confused. I think I would love to have 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:12.280 that luxury because Luca was triple team for most of 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.280 the game, and he might have heard his wrist in 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:18.040 the first half he had a triple double. I think 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:21.320 he might have had more assist than points, maybe seventeen assists. 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:24.400 But it came down to they weren't going to let 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:29.000 Luca beat him, and that was the proper defensive strategy there. Yeah, 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.080 Paul I got an update the big guy in France 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:35.599 is Mustapha Fall, who's French. Obviously seven two tackle Fall 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.400 I think it's from the Sudan and is seven six. 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:42.719 Oh okay, yeah, he looked similar, you know when you 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.840 see him. But France moves on and we'll face the 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:49.440 United States for the gold medal. Mcleven, you got a 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.719 poll question today. I want to get into some baseball 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:55.000 last night with Max Scherzer the Dodgers in the Astros. 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:59.000 Well this for the USA France game. Would you rather 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.640 win a now biter, a close game or would you 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:04.360 rather see a blowout win as an American fan? Which 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:07.760 which would be a more enjoyable experience. We've been down 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.480 the road of blowing out countries. I want to see 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.320 something competitive. I mean too, I'd love to see something 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:16.320 come down. I mean, that was very excited, very exciting. 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:20.359 We were all standing around watching on TV, you know, 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:24.120 the final possessions here with Slovenia against France. So if 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.200 we have that, that'd be great. I don't want to 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:27.880 tune into a game and you know, we're up by 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:31.280 twenty four and then you go, okay, you know, if 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:36.440 France somehow stays competitive, you know that then at least 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:39.840 be fun to watch, But I'm just not excited about 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:43.520 watching France versus Team USA. Not a storyline there for me. 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:47.440 If Team USA wins, we expect it. If France wins, 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:53.880 congratulations Slovenia. That's interesting because you really felt like it 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:58.640 was one guy versus a team today. You know, you 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:03.760 didn't have Gore and droggage for Slovenia today. But Luca 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.719 played well, he just didn't play well enough. All right, 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.320 what else do you have? Poll question was Okay, this 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:13.680 is for my Dodger fan friends out there. Are the 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:16.640 Dodgers a little less impressive because they're the new Yankees 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:20.000 and collecting this dream team? Basically if they wait when 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:24.360 Max Scherzer is that sort of like, oh, okay, I 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:26.680 think you have to win a few more and then 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.000 we get sick of you, because that's what happened with 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:33.480 the Yankees. Like, okay, evil Empire. Does us feel a 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.680 little evil Empire because he looks so good last night? Well, 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:40.000 he's thirty seven. There are other teams that wanted him. 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:45.120 It wasn't like, hey, the Dodgers. I mean, the Dodgers 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:47.320 had more to give to be able to get Max Scherzer. 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:51.560 Where the Jihnson Padres did not. But Scherzer, you know, 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.880 it's not like he's been toiling an anonymity throughout his career. 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.320 He's won the cy Young three times. He's been to 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.800 the World Series twice, once with the Tigers. He won 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:03.039 the title with the Nationals, and baseball fans know how 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.359 good he is, and he's not afraid of a big stage. 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:08.640 And you know, here you are the defending champ's second 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:12.160 biggest market in the country, and the expectation levels are 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:15.280 very high, and rightfully so. And last night he did 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:19.280 Max Scherzer things. He struck out ten Dodgers got the 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.880 win more importantly, but the highlight for the fifty two 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:27.200 thousand fans was probably Surezer fanning Jose Al Twove three times. 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:29.720 But you know, the Dodgers are in a real battle 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:33.680 here with the Padres and Giants, but now they're armed 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.320 and dangerous. They don't know when they're getting Trevor Bauer back, 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:39.480 but Scherzer maybe thirty seven. They don't know, you know, 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:42.000 Clayton Kershaw when he's going to be back. But a 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.640 big stage out West shouldn't be a problem. As Scherzer 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:48.160 tries to add another successful chapter to what has been 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:51.200 a Hall of Fame career. Here's Scherzer after the win 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:54.200 last night. Yeah, the fans and night, they were great. 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:56.640 You know when in the crowd's wing nuts like that, 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:58.320 you can definitely feed off of it. You know, Mike 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.240 Max has got great saying that says that you can 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:04.000 pitch with emotions which can't be emotional, and you know, 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:07.160 for tonight, I felt I was really able to you know, 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:10.160 the crowd was definitely into it um, and you know 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:11.680 you can feed off that and you can really get 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.200 some maternaling from that. And so, uh, to go out 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:16.640 there and pitch well and then to have the fans 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.000 ask for a curtain call for me, Uh, that's I've 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:23.200 never had that happen, So that that's really a cool momentum, 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:27.040 something I'll never forget. And never had a curtain call. 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.080 You would think winning the cy Young three times you'd 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.800 get a couple opportunities to go, hey, come on back 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.680 out here, let's give you a roundab applause, Yeah, Pauling, 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:39.120 it's like a pitcher playing Wembley Stadium or something. Fifty 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:42.120 two thousand people in Los Angeles going crazy. You know, 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:45.920 he's been what Detroit, Arizona, Washington. Those places hold about 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.600 thirty plus. What a crowd that was. What other poll 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:52.320 questions we looking at? Nicklevin, Okay, two NFL questions for 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:55.120 a night. Hey, are you going to watch a Cowboys Steelers? 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:59.640 I think bizarrely people will even though it's fourth stringers. 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:03.840 I miss It can just be the background noise, but 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.960 just having football the ambiance there. That's what I'm looking 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:10.400 forward to now. I want to see Dwayne Haskins play 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:13.320 for the Steelers, and I'd like to see some of 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.920 the Cowboys, you know as Michael Parsons gonna play, I'd 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:19.679 like to see him ceedee lamb. I also like at 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:21.680 the Hall of Fame game you have Hall of famers 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:25.120 who get interviewed during the game on the sidelines. That's 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.600 kind of fun as well. Okay, here's the question, what 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:32.120 is the most iconic team in NFL history? We obviously 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:35.240 have the Cowboys and Steelers tonight with all the Hall 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.280 of Fame guys going in. I would put the Packers 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:41.679 on the list. Did that question make any sense? Who 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:45.640 is like the most traditionally famous NFL team? Yeah? Seed, 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.320 I would put the Raiders on that list. Oh yeah, 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:52.400 for sure. Yeah. Yeah, But if you're talking about that, 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:56.040 are you talking about it really started in the Super 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:58.960 Bowl era. Yeah, because the Cleveland Browns used to be 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.679 the great team in the sixties, and then the Packers 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.160 came along, and then the Packers won the first two 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.200 Super Bowls. Plus, if you look at your fandom and 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:11.360 where it's based, if you're an NFL fan, your dad 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:16.000 or your grandfather, if they were a Packer fan, then 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:19.360 your dad or you became a Packer fan. And then 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:23.440 after that you had the Cowboys, you had the forty 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:26.240 nine Ers, you had the Steelers, Like if you look 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:29.920 at the blue Bloods, it's your fandom is probably based 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:33.640 off what happened in the late sixties, in the seventies, 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:36.720 even the eighties, where you go, hey, I root for 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:41.079 this team, Why, well, my dad did, or my grandfather did, 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:44.360 or I started watching when I was younger. That's where 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:47.360 you develop your fan. If you're not in those cities 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.160 and you find this a lot with the Cowboys and 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:53.600 the Steelers, they're all over the country, but it's based 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:57.000 off of watching them perform at a high level, watching 0:10:57.000 --> 0:11:00.400 them win Super Bowls. Because somebody who was a Cleveland 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:04.000 Browns fan, it's not the same. You weren't watching a 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:07.280 Super Bowl. The Packers when they played the Raiders and 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.600 played the Chiefs in the Super Bowl, like that was 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:13.240 a big deal. And it was Lombardi and you know, 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:16.440 he had this threat of AFL NFL, would there be 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:18.880 a merger? Who had the better league? You know, there 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:23.320 was really this territorial rights that was at stake there. 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:26.600 And then you had the Colts, the Colts against the Jets, 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.680 the biggest upset we've had, and then the Kansas City 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:32.320 Chiefs proved that that was no fluke, and then we 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:36.240 had the merger. But your fandom is probably based off 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.160 what your dad or your grandfather follow. Yeah, Paul, You're 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:40.760 absolutely right. It's the first thing you see as a 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:42.200 little kid. When I was a little kid, it felt 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.440 like the Steelers were always in the Super Bowl, like 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:46.760 the Dodgers and Yankees felt like they were always in 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:48.880 the World Series. Because you compress things, but I think 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:52.440 the Steelers were in four Super Bowls in six seasons 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:54.560 of our six seasons span were not as a kid, 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.040 I remember seeing Terry Bradshaw in a Burt Reynolds movie. 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.200 He felt like the face of the NFL or Roger 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:01.640 Staubach was also the face of the NFL. I didn't 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.480 know anything as a kid, though, Yeah, and you got 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:06.959 caught up in you know what the Cowboys how they 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:10.280 presented this. You had Tom Landry stoic on the sidelines 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:14.280 wearing the hat, nice suit. You had the cowboy cheerleaders, 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:17.120 you had the stadium. Then you had the Raiders, who 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:21.240 were the complete opposite the antithesis, like they were not polished, 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:24.520 they were the bad guys. They were the outlaws. They 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:28.360 had an owner who sued the NFL. And that's where 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:30.920 you fall in love with this story and they became 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:34.680 your team at that time, or it was your dad's 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:38.120 team and you're watching just by proxy, you become a 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:42.239 fan of that team. But if you're from Pittsburgh, obviously 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.520 you love your Steelers or San Francisco or you know, 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.880 does New England fit in there. We don't allow them 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:51.800 in because they weren't winning back you know, in the 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:55.280 seventies they were the laughing stock. But it feels like 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:58.520 you have to almost have started in the late sixties 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:02.400 early seventies to be on that list of you know, 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:07.120 iconic franchises, even though you know Patriots more successful than 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:10.080 anybody winning Super Bowls Jean Club. But even in twenty 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:13.719 years when these kids of Patriots fans like I don't 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:15.960 think the next generation is going to look back as 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:19.840 a great team. Well, the Patriots aren't beloved around the country. 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:24.320 That's another thing. I mean, that's you know, provincial, whereas 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:28.400 for some reason, Packer fans, Steeler fans, Cowboys Raiders, that's 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.160 all over the country. Yeah. That so much of it 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:34.440 is NFL films, Right, All of these iconic teams that 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:37.520 we're talking about, we have grainy footage, old footage of 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.480 them to this like triumphant music and you know that's 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:42.560 slow motion and all of that. You don't really have 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:48.280 that with the Patriots necessarily. Yeah, NFL films really formed 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:53.480 my viewing patterns, my rooting patterns, the storylines because at 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:55.440 the time when we were growing up, we didn't have 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:59.720 all of the games, but we just absorbed NFL films 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.960 and Howard Cosell on Monday Night football would give you 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.360 three minutes of highlights. That's the only time you would 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:08.880 see a team or a player. Now you get to 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:11.040 see whoever you want, whenever you want to see them. 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:16.319 But back then that the importance of what NFL films 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:21.200 did do football glamorized it and presented in in a 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.320 way sports had never been presented before. And I think 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:28.040 because of that, your fandom was based off of something 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:31.480 as small as the NFL films doing a feature on 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:34.920 your team. Yeah. Pulling another difference is the Patriots dynasty 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.720 is basically Belichick and Brady and they mixed up other 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:39.520 players over the years. There's a bunch of different wide 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:42.680 receivers and running backs and defenders went and came and went. 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:46.400 That Steeler team, everyone in the room could name all 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:48.360 their players off the top of your head because it 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:50.760 was like a ten year run and they kept everybody 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:54.040 their defense, their offense. Guys didn't do free agency back then. 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:55.920 It was on the cusp of free agency, so that 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:59.240 Steeler team was basically intact for about eight years. Yeah, 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:01.680 and you know, we didn't have free agency back then. 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:04.000 You were drafted by a team and you stayed with 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:06.320 your team until they cut you. And you had that 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:08.280 with Green Bay that you knew Bart Starr was going 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:11.120 to be there, and you know Jim Taylor and Paul Horning, 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:15.400 her battery. You had all of those great players who 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:18.480 was on the Kansas City Chiefs and Hank stram Uh. 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:23.640 You know the Raiders. You knew that Kenny Stabler, Daryl Lamonica, 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:29.560 Fred Bulitnikoff, like you just had Lyle Alzado, John Madden, 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:34.400 Al Davis. These were true characters, but you had interchangeable 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:37.520 parts and then the team stayed relevant. You know, with 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:40.880 the Cowboys you had Roger Staubach, and then after that 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:44.680 you would have Troy aikman U. You know, the Steelers 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:48.280 would have Terry Bradshaw. Then eventually you would have Ben 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:52.680 Roethlisberger the Packers have. You've gone from Bart Starr to 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:57.840 Bred Farb to Aaron Rodgers and remained relevant for fifty 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:01.120 years now. They did have dips, but for the most part, 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:04.640 you had a Hall of Fame quarterback. There. We'll take 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.680 a break. We'll talk to Ross Tucker, our good buddy, 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:13.320 the former NFL lineman Nice the Cowboys Radio network, former 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:17.480 NFL quarterback, the analyst Babe Laufenberg will join us as well, 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:20.160 and Charlie Steiner, the voice of the Dodgers on the 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:23.640 Atmosphere with the Astros in town. Does he agree with 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:27.440 what Joey Vados said yesterday on this show and maybe 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:30.960 we move on from the astros and stopped booing them. 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:34.920 That didn't happen last night at the Dodger Stadium, seventeen 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.360 after the hour, just getting started, play of the day, 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:39.800 stat of the day, and a poll question. We'll settle 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:43.840 on all of that when we return after this.

I listened to Carson Palmer. Carson Palmer said, hey, 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:55.600 you got to try this, because he knew that I 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:58.280 had a lot of surgeries, in fact, more surgeries than 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:01.240 he's had he played fifteen years. He had seven surgeries. 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:05.439 And Carson said, hey, this sportscream stuff with CBD. And 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:08.000 at the time I thought, I don't know what CBD is, 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:12.080 but I quickly found out how good it is.

Mclovin, 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:19.119 what's the poll question you want to go with? I 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:22.840 started with our one the most iconic NFL football team 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:27.760 with the Cowboys, Stealers, Packers, and Raiders. Those are our 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:32.520 four choices. No more are we leaving out anybody? Are 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:38.160 the forty nine Ers iconic? The Bear, the Bears, Dolphins. 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:39.800 Even as a Bears fan, I would not put them 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:41.640 on there because even though they started the league, they 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:46.720 since then they won one Super Bowl. Yeah, but that 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:50.400 one is the one everybody talks about. Well, if you're 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:53.760 a Bears fan, you do you get the feeling that 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:56.200 they won like three in a row. How about the Giants? 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:06.200 They're not interesting and the Super Bowl era they're not interesting. 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:10.240 Like you know, they beat the Patriots twice. Okay, but 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:13.800 I don't know, Like, you have to have characters there. 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:16.720 You have to have you know, John Madden, All Davis, 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:20.879 you have to have Otis Sistrunk. You need, you need history, 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:23.520 you need success. You have me and Joe Green, Steeve, 0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:29.560 Kurt and Jack Lambert, Terry Bradshaw, Chuck Noll. The Giants 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:35.840 have Okay, Bill Parcels Giant. Yeah, but really, if you're 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:38.080 gonna be iconic, it has to be during the Super 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:42.520 Bowl era. Yes, look Lt. Carson Banks. There's some names 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:46.440 there during the older Giants. Yeah. Yeah, I just don't 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:50.280 know if they're iconic. This is when you know your 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:54.560 iconic when your fan base is across the country, when 0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:57.760 you'll have a home game, your team has a home 0:19:57.800 --> 0:20:02.560 game and there's more fans from Pittsburgh there, right, that's 0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:06.439 when you know your iconic. Ross Tucker Our good buddy, 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:09.919 the former NFL offensive lineman, host of the Ross Tucker 0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:14.200 Football podcast, and you can check out the Ross Tucker 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:17.760 Football podcast. Also game analyst for the Eagles in their preseason, 0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:21.800 also does some college football in NFL for CBS in 0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:24.960 Westwood One. Ross joins us. Now, how how would you 0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:30.679 answer that most iconic NFL team in history is? You know, 0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:34.919 for me, it's probably either the Packers or the Steelers. 0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:38.359 And it was interesting Dan hearing you guys talk about it. 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:41.080 You know what it really is like for all of 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:45.520 us our age group, it's whoever was featured the most 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:49.239 on NFL films from the sixties and seventies, you know, 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:53.359 like that is what's iconic. I can just picture Vince Lombardi, 0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:56.120 you know, and on all those videos. Come on, guys, 0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:59.560 let's tell the Green Bay Powers sweep or the videos 0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:02.840 of like Lynn Swan being in the air for forty 0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:06.600 eight seconds catching passes in Super Bowls. I think it's 0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:10.960 hard for any other team to be more iconic than 0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:15.600 the teams that were so revered and featured on those 0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:19.080 NFL films videos from the sixties and seventies. Yeah, it's 0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:21.560 like they had a head start because they were successful 0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:23.600 at a time when we didn't get to watch all 0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:26.040 of the games. Maybe you got to see your team 0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:28.679 featured with Howard Cosell on Monday Night Football with the 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:33.040 three minute highlights, but I would probably. I don't think 0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:35.880 there's a wrong answer if it's the Cowboy, Steelers, Packers 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:39.080 or Raiders. It just depends on you know, what was 0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:42.520 your fandom growing up and was it based off your 0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:46.000 dad or your grandfather, Because that's usy where it starts. 0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:48.360 If you're a fan of that team now and you're 0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:51.200 in your thirties, chances are it was based off of 0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:56.600 who your dad was rooting for. How important is preseason? Well, 0:21:56.640 --> 0:21:59.720 I think to the teams themselves, I think we saw 0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:05.160 last year probably not all that important. To the players 0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:08.080 that are playing tonight, it's everything. I mean. I had 0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:11.200 some guy on Twitter hit me up at Ross Tucker 0:22:11.320 --> 0:22:15.320 NFL and say preseason doesn't mean you know what, and 0:22:15.400 --> 0:22:18.000 I just replied back to him, Dan, you know there's 0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:21.800 ninety man rosters, right, we won't see hardly any starters tonight, 0:22:22.400 --> 0:22:26.880 So there's at least fifty guys playing tonight. Okay, that 0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:31.680 we're two time All State, two time All Conference in college, 0:22:32.560 --> 0:22:36.480 maybe the best athlete to ever come from their hometown. 0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:39.960 That the two and a half three quarters they play 0:22:40.000 --> 0:22:43.560 tonight it's the most important game of their lives. I'm 0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:47.160
