WEBVTT - HOUR 3- Ron Rivera Sep 15, 2020 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.080 Sports Radio Final Hour on this Tuesday, Dan and Medane 0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:11.120 Stan Patrick's show Steelers over the Giants last night, twenty 0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:16.160 six sixteen. The health of Ben Roethlisberger and how healthy 0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:18.800 can he be? This team? That defense is going to 0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:22.480 take them a long way. Titans survived the Broncos sixteen 0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:28.360 fourteen night heat, Celtics Game one, tonight, Nuggets Clippers Game seven. 0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:31.880 Back to the Steelers with Roethlisberger. You know he had this. 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:34.920 We weren't sure if he wanted to play any longer. 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:38.320 I think the documentary that he has coming out, I 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:41.519 think he partnered with the Mothership and it kind of 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:45.720 details the offseason rehabbing, having the surgery, and deciding to 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:48.599 come back. I think he had the blessing of his 0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:52.640 wife family to come back. And Ben last night looked okay. 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:56.560 At three touchdown passes, he looked okay. If that's what 0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:58.720 you can get out of Ben Roethlisberger, I think Mike 0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:02.120 Tomlin would take that. And plus you have the Steelers defense. 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:07.280 Juju Smith Schuster looked good too. James Connor got banged 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:11.399 up a little bit there. Chase Claypool I think is legitimate. 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.440 He's a big dude and came out of Notre Dame 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:17.080 with a lot of hype, and you know, they might 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:19.319 have found their next tighten. They just seemed to find 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:23.160 tight end and wide receiver there and receivers there in Pittsburgh. 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.720 Here's Ben Roethlisberger after last night's win. I probably just 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:29.440 grabbed my knee because I was moving so fast, But no, 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:31.840 I feel I feel great right now. Obviously, adrenaline is 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:34.080 still probably pumping, and we won the game. I'm going 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:35.959 to be sword tomorrow. There's no doubt. I've got some 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:39.640 bumps and bruises, but in terms of elbow and everything else, 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:43.120 I feel I feel really good right now. He tweaked 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.240 his knee early in that game, that's what he was 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:48.360 talking about. But good win for them. You know, it's 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:49.960 one of those games that you look at and you go, 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:52.880 of course, you're supposed to beat the Giants, but they 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:56.120 are teams that don't win those types of games. And 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:58.520 that's where you look at what happened with the Colts 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:02.080 in Jacksonville. You should have that game. You should be better, 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.240 a lot better than the Jags. You got to win 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:09.640 those games. Washington standing alone atop the NFC East, Jags 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:13.000 tied for the lead in the AFC South, Aaron Rodgers 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:16.680 tied for the league lead with touchdown passes, Clyde Edwards 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:20.120 Hilaire leads the NFL, and rushing Are we surprised to 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.600 any of those things? I would say the Jags tied 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:24.920 for the lead in the ANFC South would be my 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:29.560 first choice, followed by Washington standing alone atop the NFC East, 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:33.440 Aaron Rodgers, nothing surprises me when it comes to greatness, 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:37.120 and Clyde Edwards Hilaire, by all accounts, was going to 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.160 be the running back, the rookie to watch this year. 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.040 And I don't think anybody should be surprised with what 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.639 we saw in week one eight seven seven three d 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.120 P Show email address DP at dan Patrick dot com, 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:51.680 Twitter handle A DPS show pull question, McLevin, what do 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:54.120 we have so far? Okay? Our one and two was 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:56.600 if you were the Titans, would you release Stephen got 0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:00.800 Skotski Today sixty said no, Yeah, I'm gonna wait. He 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.000 didn't look good. It was a little shaky last night, 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.000 came through with the game winner. You obviously have a 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:10.960 kicker who has a quite a resume, as Steve Levy 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:13.320 said last night on the broadcast, a Hall of Famer 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:16.400 in waiting. I think he's the Hall of very good, 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.640 but he's not a Hall of Famer. Just In from 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:22.240 Chris Mannox. The Toronto Raptors have signed Nick Nurse to 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:26.880 a multi year contract extension. Per the team, we say 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:29.400 good morning to our TV partner Peacock and also our 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.560 great radio affiliates around the country, numbering three hundred and 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:36.680 sixty two. Here is the aforementioned Stephen Gostkowski after the 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.600 game winner last night. It's a very fickle position. It's 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:43.800 definitely an opportunity I did deserve, but grateful that I 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.040 got it for you know, the team and the guys 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.560 that went out there busted there, but I mean I 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:50.160 really put him in a tough spot, and you know, 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:51.920 you don't always get that lucky to get a chance 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:54.200 to redeem yourself. But you know, I'm just happy that 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.520 the guys got to celebrate, and you know, I'm disappointing 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.400 myself and embarrassed and frustrated, but at the end of 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.080 the day, you know, we won and luckily guys are 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:06.120 happy going home. Here's Mike Vrabel, the Titans head coach 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.880 if he had any doubts on the game winning field goal, 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:12.600 and they did obviously because they weren't using their timeouts, 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:14.960 so they were banking on him. And you know, we 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.080 all got to do our job. And again it's not 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:19.520 on just one player. You know, we'll get this stuff fixed. 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.400 We got a lot of faith in our players, excited 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:23.479 to get out of here with a winning is a 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:27.880 tough place to play. I also saw some numbers here 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:31.119 on the Lions. Matt Patricia doesn't think it was his fault. 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:34.919 The Lions blew another fourth quarter lead. Now he didn't 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:39.280 drop the ball. DeAndre Swift did, but they were up 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:42.960 ten points with four minutes to play, and he opted 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:46.800 for a fifty five yard field goal and it banged 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:50.680 off the goalposts. The Bears had excellent field position, they 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:55.400 scored a touchdown. Now they're down three. Then there's the interception. 0:04:56.400 --> 0:05:01.920 I mean that interception was huge. That Matthew Stafford and 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:05.159 why they were throwing the ball. Then, I have no idea. 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:11.039 But Patricia was asked about blowing another fourth quarter lead 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:14.680 and he said, look, I don't think so. I think 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.039 I've got probably one of the biggest plays in the 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.479 fourth quarter in the history of the NFL, where I 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.640 think I did a pretty good job. So I don't 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.120 think it's that. I think we all know what the 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:27.360 individual games are. We got to do a better job. 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:31.120 We got a team right now that's different than the 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:35.120 previous two years. This team is different, they're different players, 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:38.560 they have a different mindset. We have no excuses. Give 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:41.760 the Bears credit. They did what they did, and they executed, 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:45.040 and they scored and they won and we didn't. Now 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:49.520 Matt Patricia's talking about Malcolm Butler's gain saving goal line 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.640 interception for the Patriots when he was the defensive coordinator 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:57.200 when they beat Seattle. That was five years ago. As 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.920 the Lions head coach, he's won nine games out of 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:05.599 thirty three and a tie. But if you start to 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.520 look at some blown fourth quarter leads. Twenty nineteen, they 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:10.960 blew an eighteen point lead to the Cardinals. That game 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:14.800 ended in a tie. They would blow another six third 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.200 quarter leads during the season. Twenty eighteen, they lost forty 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:21.840 eight to seventeen to the Jets after returning an interception 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:25.000 for a touchdown on the very first play. In all, 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:28.280 the Lions have blown eleven fourth quarter leads since Matt 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:33.760 Patricia became the head coach. That's one third of all 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:40.880 of his games that he's coached. Here is Matt Patricia yesterday. 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:45.359 Throughout really your tenure here, you've had fourth quarter leads 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:49.279 and lost. Is there something in your coaching that maybe 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:53.000 isn't happening enough in the fourth quarter for you to 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.400 close out games? Yeah? I don't think so, Mike. I 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:56.800 think I got probably one of the biggest plays in 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:58.400 the fourth quarter in the history of the NFL, where 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:02.400 I think I did a pretty good job. Yeah, that 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:04.920 was one play and it was absolutely a great play, 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:08.320 one of the biggest plays in the history of the NFL. Yeah, Seaton. Yeah, 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:11.680 that is a question though that perhaps, if reworded, it 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:15.720 might not elicit such a defensive response. Coaches, there's something. 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.000 Is there something in the way that you're coaching that's 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:19.800 causing the team to blow all of these leads in 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:23.560 the fourth quarter? I think it's the word you. Is 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.200 there something that you're doing specifically that's causing your team 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:28.800 to lose all these games? Coach? But I think that's 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.600 where I go. You know, speaking of Malcolm Butler, coach, 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:33.920 could you tell me why he got benched in the 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:39.560 Super Bowl. I'll hang up and listen. We're onto Cincinnati. 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:43.280 We're not even playing that, but we're onto Cincinnati, all right, 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:45.800 eight seven seven three d P Show email address DPA 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:49.120 dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at DPS show at 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:53.120 dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at DPS show Simmy love, 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:54.800 and we're gonna stay with that pole question for the 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:58.480 final hour of this award nominated program. I have another 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:02.240 question for you, Okay, the Heat Celtics. If we put 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:05.360 up that poll, who's gonna win that series? Which side wins? 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:06.880 I saw it. I was surprised to see that, say, 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.640 Celtics are one and a half point favorites the night. Okay, 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:12.600 I think it's like a fifty fifty. I have no 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:17.040 idea who people think is going to win this. Well, 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.400 they might be enamored with the Heat and how the 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:23.239 Heat polished off the Bucks and that they played great 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:26.440 defense there against the Greek Freak. By the way, Milwaukee 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.840 met with the Greek freak and they told him that 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:34.720 they will spend around him, that they will go over 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:39.800 the luxury tax threshold. I believe. I don't know who 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:43.440 you're bringing in, but Milwaukee will offer the Greek freak 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.959 a Supermax deal. That's where thirty five percent of the 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:50.000 Buck's cap somewhere between two twenty and two hundred and 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:55.040 fifty million dollars over five years. But after that, who 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:58.280 are you going to bring in? And I think who 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:00.960 wants to go in there and play for Milwaukee and 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:04.080 who's going to be available to bring in. I love 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.640 the idea of Chris Paul, and I think Chris Paul 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:10.120 would have made a huge difference for that Milwaukee team 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:14.959 this year. But it comes down to you got to 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:19.600 look at what went wrong in the postseason because that's 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:23.480 going to continue to happen unless the Greek Freak develops. 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:25.720 I mean, he has to take some blame too. He's 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:28.680 got to develop a go to move that in a 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.840 half court set you can count on that, and he 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:35.960 hasn't yet. And I don't want Eric Bledsoe in there. 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.280 You know, it's a starter, But I do need somebody 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.200 who's gotten some experience, who I can count on to 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:45.120 be a leader, to be a you know, somebody who 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:48.000 can guide us in the fourth quarter of a big game. Yeah. Point, 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:51.199 I'll look at the NBA salary cap. Milwaukee Bucks were 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:53.679 second in the league and spending this year one hundred 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:56.559 and thirty five million dollars, second one to the Trailblazers. 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.680 Next year they're at one hundred and thirty two. That 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:02.040 puts him in the top five of stalary cap spending. 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.480 Next year. Well, they're probably going to be tops when 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:06.440 they have to pay the Greek freak. I'm guessing with 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:11.640 a Supermax deal. Yeah. The Clippers one of three current 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:16.360 NBA franchises who have never reached the conference finals. Those 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:20.760 other two teams, the Hornets and the Pelicans, they began 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:26.719 as expansion teams many many years after the Clippers were established, 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:30.320 first in San Diego and then in Los Angeles. Yeah, 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:34.320 I'm the clevin. My dad had a hot Jimmy Butler take. 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:37.959 Oh this is you get to If you hear this take, 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:41.480 you'll nowhere against the grain came from Okay, my dad says, 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.080 who's a Sixers fan, said, Jimmy Butler's not that good. 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.560 He's only great in the last six minutes of a game. 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:52.040 Is that what you really want? That's the kind of 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:55.199 guy I do want. Yeah, As I said my dad, 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:58.439 I'm like, yeah, that's exactly what every team wants. Dominates 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:00.199 the last six minutes of a game. There's a lot 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:02.200 of guys who are really good for the first forty 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:05.040 two minutes of a game. I want to know who's 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.400 great at the end of a game. Sixers have plenty 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:12.240 of forty two lays. Your dad doesn't like those pesky 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:15.360 clutch players, doesn't. Well, all of Phillies mad that Jimmy 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.560 Butler escaped. Is he? It feels like that's why people 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:19.840 are picking the Heat because Jimmy Butler is a veteran 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.960 and well, I think more people would probably pick Boston 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.520 because we're aware of Boston and we saw that nucleus 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.040 a couple of years ago when Kyrie got hurt and 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:31.280 they were surprising everybody going to the Eastern Conference finals. 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:37.040 But you have Tatum, and you have Brown Smart, you 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.400 got Brad Stevens, so I think they're more known. You 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:42.320 have to watch a Miami Heat game and you go, oh, 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:45.040 that's right. Eric Spoilster is still their coach. Who's playing 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:48.960 with Jimmy Butler? Bam Autobio? Where did he go to? Oh, Kentucky, 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.880 that's right. Goren Dragis is still in the NBA. Who 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:57.720 is Robinson Duncan or Duncan Robinson Tyler Hero Yeah. So 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:02.079 if you watch them play, they really play well together, 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:06.240 and that's that's a lot of fun to watch them play. 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.400 It's good basketball, and Spoilster is a Hall of Fame coach, 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.560 Yes Club. But then Jimmy Butler has a way of 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.520 sucking up all the energy and attention media wise. I 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:16.840 don't know what it is like in a good way, 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:18.720 Like I feel like we don't know those guys because 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.760 we know Jimmy Butler. Well, I think when they lose, 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:25.120 it falls on Jimmy Butler, like he kind of soaks 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.800 that up. You know that it's all it's on Jimmy Butler. 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:29.800 Because are you going to blame Gore and Dragics if 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:31.920 they don't advance or bam out of bio. You're not, 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:35.559 You'll blame Jimmy Butler. Uh, let me see get a 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:37.880 couple of phone calls in here, Kyle and Tampa, Hi, 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:43.280 Kyle any By talking about play by play teams. I 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:44.920 think they all did a great job this past weekend 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.280 of letting everybody know that they just appreciated the fact 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:48.839 that they could call a football game. And I think 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.000 we kind of all shared in that sentiment. But two 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:54.160 part question for you. First, part a network call that said, 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:57.000 dan we need a para dan As to fill in 0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.880 for play by play? Who would you pick in? Why? 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:03.080 Second part of the question, what is a dream played 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.600 by play duo that either it hasn't happened yet or 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:07.600 never happened at all? Mine? For example, can you imagine 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:14.280 the enthusiasm of the Doc Emerd and Tony Romo? Yeah, 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:16.480 that would be interesting to have Doc Emeric call an 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:18.800 NFL game. I don't know how Romo would do in hockey. 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:23.760 If if somebody needed a play by play an analyst, 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:27.240 well mclovin would be the analyst, but like a Dennis 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:30.200 Miller Tony Kornheizer type analyst, because if you ask me 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.720 the three technique or the five technique or the seventh No, no, 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:35.520 we won't get into details there. Yeah, I mean you 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:39.960 can fake it too. Yeah, those guys go like Herbie 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.840 was saying some things last night, for example, that I 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:44.920 was actually thinking about that because Herbs she's never done 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.040 in an NFL game, and he sounded like he had 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:50.960 known that game forever. But I think you know when 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:52.560 you say, hey, what are the keys to the game, 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:54.839 and then you'll come up with like three or four 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.880 keys to the game. Oh, you gotta get a pass. 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:01.160 You have to establish a pass rush. Yeah. Uh, you know, 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:05.160 you gotta play with uh you know, let's see anticipation 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:08.800 and you gotta you gotta be prepared and at the edge. 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.319 Mentioned the secondary at some point. Dah, this game is 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:12.800 can be one of the trenches. One er off in 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.640 the trench, of course, you know that. Yeah, to have 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:18.760 Ultimately it's gonna come down to the quarterback play. Yeah, mclub. 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:20.920 What have you done football? I know you've done basketball 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:24.240 play by play. Have you ever done an analysts? No? No, 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:26.800 well I'm not qualified to be an analyst. Uh, Todd, 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:32.440 I couldn't have if if if we needed to fill 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:36.760 time during a rain delay, kind of lightning storm or something. Yeah, 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:38.360 but I can't have you in the booth like a 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:42.360 third minute. No little little comments. You can't have a 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:46.880 little comment. You're not capable and you never really make 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:50.360 a true prediction or a decision. I do kind of 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.960 hang on the fence there you do. Yeah, you're you're 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:58.280 on the fence. Yeah, yeah, I don't know, like Todd, 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:00.360 that couldn't think of anyone who's better at short fifthy 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:04.720 comments like that that sent you at all. I make passive, aggressive, 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:07.560 little lex sarcastic little remarks and on the side, yeah 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.600 you wouldn't you wouldn't do well. Paulie could do play 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:12.280 by play? Yeah, well, I mean out of the group, 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:15.800 out of this group. Yeah, I'll take Yeah, I'll take it. 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.720 I think you're you're you're able to fake it. I 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.360 think you could fake being a play by play guy 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:24.080 better than the other guys, said McLevin could. Probably you 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:27.240 could pull off against the grain being an analyst. Yeah, 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:29.760 I mean just throwing a couple of those you know 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.120 phrases that we have no idea what it is, and 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:34.320 then you sound like you're part of the fraternity. Yeah. See, 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:37.120 I'm at best down on the sideline. If not, I'm 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:39.480 out in the parking lot, maybe for the local news. 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.440 I'm not even part of us, like the main sports 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:44.320 organization and Todd. I don't know if I have a 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:48.160 place for you. Nothing. No, I don't think so. I 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:51.360 don't think so because I have to have brevity and 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:53.480 I just don't think that I can throw down to 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:57.000 you like ticket sales or no, n no, nothing, No, 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.440 we're talking about the broadcast like I can't go and 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:01.480 let's go down to Todd Fritz on the field, Todd, 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:05.320 and then you're gonna go on and on and on 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:10.040 to the parts four players. He's in the locker room 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.400 to check exacle and I was in the locker room 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:14.080 and then I saw what they had, and then I 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:16.680 couldn't believe that they had orange gatorade. They didn't have 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:18.200 the yellow gator and I don't you know, I love 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.600 orange Gatorade. It would be very problematically, you know, I'm 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:22.560 just saying, yeah this point, but I'd be totally snarky 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:25.160 during play by play second two for the Giant sequon 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:27.040 Barkley about to get swallow up by the entire defense. 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:30.160 It would just be snarky. Yeah, But you can't be 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:32.280 an analyst though. That's the thing. I would not be 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:35.200 able to hold my down. That's because you can't over 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:39.120 analyze when you have an analyst like mclovan waiting. Ron 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.560 Rivera is going to join us and we'll talk about 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:45.280 the Washington football team's opening win, plus what happened at 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:48.880 halftime because coach was getting an IV he's going through 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:52.640 cancer treatment, and Dwayne Haskins got up and addressed the team. 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:55.160 So we'll talk to coach about that more phone calls 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:57.280 as well.

Washington and football team had to win 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:03.520 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Didn't look good in the first half, 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:07.080 it came back scored twenty seven unanswered points, beating the 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:10.000 Eagles twenty seven seven. There head coach Ron Rivera kind 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:12.399 enough to join us. Coach, How does it feel to 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:15.680 be in first place? It feels good, it doesn't and 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:19.040 you know, it's been a long offseason, it really has. 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:21.080 But I was just real happy for our players. You know, 0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:23.560 they were very resilient, did the things that they needed 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:25.640 to do and took air of business. So it's exciting. 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:29.120 It is. How's your health? How you feeling? I feel good? 0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:32.320 You know, it's it's middle trying just trying to kind 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:33.880 of get in the swing of things, get to feel 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:37.120 for it, understand what's happening. You know, what's happening with me, 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:39.320 what's happening with my health, what's happening with my body. 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:41.760 But you know, I'm very fortunate. I got a great 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:44.760 team of doctors and specialists and I got a good prognosis. 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.520 So again it's a matter of taking care of business. Now. Now, 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:51.239 when you got an IVY at halftime, is that planned? Yes? 0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:53.320 It was planned. It was It was more about hydration, 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:54.879 making sure that I was going to be okay in 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:57.879 terms of my energy level and all that. You know, 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:00.480 it was a warm day and talking with our team 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:02.600 doctor and our head trainer. You know, we had mapped 0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:04.600 it out. You know, as soon as we were coming in, 0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:06.200 I was going straight into the training room and I 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:07.920 was going to take care of my business and uh, 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:10.560 you know, let it go from there. Now you're it's 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:15.240 sell cancer. Well what it is. It's it's a it's 0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:19.320 a squat, squamous form of cancer that's gotten into one 0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:22.359 of my limp noodes. And it's not limphomah. Some people 0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:25.440 have misreported it, but it's a it's a form of 0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:28.680 cancer that got into a limpnode. It's a very treatable, 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:31.760 very curable type cancer. So I'm very fortunate we caught 0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:34.480 it early. And what happened in a halftime You're getting 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:36.280 an IV and then all of a sudden you have 0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:40.560 to overhear a voice that's standing out among all of 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:44.080 the voices there in the locker room. What was going on, Well, 0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:45.560 you know what happened with I was going in. I 0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:48.399 talked to Malcolm Black and my director of player development. 0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:49.560 I said, hey, we got to make sure we have 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:51.520 somebody step up to the mic, you know, and and 0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:54.040 give the half halftime speecies. I don't think I'll be 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:57.040 done in time, so I go in. I'm getting the 0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:58.880 IV and all of a sudden, you know, I hear 0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:01.240 that the two minute warning, and then all of a sudden, 0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:03.080
