WEBVTT - 02/01/22 DPS Hour 3 Sam Webb and Bill Plaschke 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.840 Sports Radio. Welcome to the program. Quite a program. In 0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:12.080 the first two hours, Tom Brady officially announced his retirement. 0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:16.480 By the way, seven years ago tonight, Malcolm Butler had 0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:20.480 the interception against the Seahawks and Tom won the Super Bowl, 0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:24.479 but announcing officially that he is going to step down 0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:27.840 at the age of forty four and whatever the next 0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:32.080 chapter is in his life now, Tampa Bay has to 0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:35.320 move on. What do you do at quarterback? Bruce Arian 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:39.239 says he's coming back, but Tom Brady officially made an 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:43.920 official and Adam Schefter somewhere is breathing a sigh of relief. 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:47.199 Jim Harball is flirting with the Vikings. More on that 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:53.080 coming up. It's college football signing day, boy, that's nice tomorrow, 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:56.680 so Harball will be in Minnesota reportedly tomorrow, and its 0:00:56.760 --> 0:01:02.680 national signing Day tomorrow. Dawn's Jags, Saints, Texans, Vikings right 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:06.199 now are coachless eight seven seven three d P Show 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:08.800 email address DP at Dan Patrick dot Com, Twitter handle 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.800 at DP show. We checked in with Seaton. He took 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:14.600 a pie to the face and it was a was 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.640 it a skyline pie to the face? Or was that 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:19.800 gold store. Oh, we're checking. The team's on it. Yeah, 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.039 I'm not sure, but it was definitely chili and cheese. 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:24.479 Chili and cheese. And now he's got to get into 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:28.400 the sprinter van and they head to Nashville and then 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:32.039 they go to Memphis. Hopefully they're in Memphis tonight. Some 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:34.880 good eating along the way, that's for sure, all right. 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.520 Poll question for the final hour time. Okay, we got 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:39.200 a fun one. If you ran into Seaton on his 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:42.319 cross country trip, you'd hit him with a pie or 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.360 bake him a pie? Right now? Fifty three percent rather 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:47.800 hit him with a pie. Forty seven would bake him. 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:50.080 One who wrote that that would be me. I thought 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.200 that'd be kind of a fun, especially right after you 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:53.800 just got hit with a pie. That'd be a fun 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:58.560 silly final hour poll Okay, uh, I'm gonna let it go. 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.240 You don't like that one, It's okay. It'll be appropriate 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:04.800 and timely and silly. Why don't want to encourage people 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.240 to go up and hit Seaton with an object here? 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:10.959 I don't think anybody's gonna bake him a pie. Now 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:14.280 you're encouraging these people, encouraging that. It was worded if 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:16.560 you happen to write into Seaton on his cross country trip, 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.360 would you rather mad? Which one are you going to do? 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:22.440 And once you recognize him, don't miss every medal, every 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:26.520 moment of the Winter Olympics. Beginning February third, NBC and 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:31.160 Peacock say good morning to our radio affiliates Fox Sports 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:35.080 Radio and numbering nearly four hundred cities. Oh so you 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.760 can watch on Peacock. You can download the app and 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.560 watch for free. So we spend a little bit of 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.079 time trying to figure out what's going on at Jim Harball, 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:46.080 Tom Pelicero, the NFL network. He broke the news that 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.800 Harball is going to fly into Minnesota. Like, now it 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:52.440 gets real. You know, it's one thing if hey, I'm 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.600 hearing maybe he's reaching out to the Raiders or vice versa. 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:58.760 And now you have him going to Minnesota. Now this 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:03.440 changes thing feels a little bit more real. But I'm 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.320 don't take my word take Sam Webb's word for it. 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:09.400 He's the publisher of the Michigan Insider dot com. On 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:13.120 twenty four seven, sports morning show, host of Sports Talk 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:17.280 ten fifty the Ticket, Sam joins us. Now, Sam, thanks 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:21.480 for joining us on short notice. So Jim, Jim Harbaugh 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:26.560 going to Minnesota means what to you? It means that 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:29.480 he's serious about this job. You know, you're right Dan, 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:33.160 that this is different than past sort of I think 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:37.560 media driven, media driven storylines. I don't think that Jim 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:41.920 Harbaugh really pursued this in years past. But make no mistake, 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:46.800 he is going after this job. He could have silenced 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:50.320 this quickly, he didn't. I think there's a message in that, 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.760 and that this is so public that he is going 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.360 to Minnesota at a time where he is trying to 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.920 hire a defensive coordinator. I know a lot of people 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:01.800 are making a big deal about him traveling there on 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:05.560 national signing today. They aren't signing any prospects coming up 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:07.920 on Wednesday, but it is transferred portal time. There are 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:11.280 things that you're doing to prepare for spring ball, to 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:15.560 prepare roster management. Right his focus is on Minnesota. He 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:19.719 is going there to get this job. That makes this different. 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:23.719 And everyone that I talked to, whether they be around 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.960 ann Arbor agents in the NFL, that I talked to, 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:30.400 they all expect that if the Minnesota Vikings offer Jim 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:34.160 Harbaugh this job, he will take it. I thought Michigan 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.640 was his dream job. He like, what what? What is? 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:42.039 What is transpired here in the last twelve months. Yeah, man, 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:46.120 it's it's funny. I get that question a lot. And look, 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.920 I'm I can only try to get in Jim Harbaugh's 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:50.360 head so much. I don't know him as well as 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:54.160 his family or his friends that have been around him 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.240 his entire life. But I've gotten to know him as 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.680 as well as a media member could get to know 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:02.400 him over the past seven years. And what I could 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:06.120 say is when he came to town, it was like 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.800 he was the princess of Munda. They were throwing the 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:13.279 rose petals at his feet, right. And you get six 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:18.880 years into the process, you have real adversity, and you 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:22.360 you have the people who anointed you from day one 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:24.719 sort of turning on you, and they sort of remind 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:29.039 you that while you came home and this is your place, 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.320 this is a job and support kind of road here 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:35.000 like it a rose anywhere. So being on the prescipice 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.880 of losing your job has a way of sort of 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:41.000 reminding you or giving you that perspective. I think it's 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:44.839 that I think that realizing that there might be another 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:49.599 opportunity that's better for him personally. There might be a 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:54.039 situation that's better for his family. The window will never 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.360 be wider than it is now. He's coming off his 0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:01.159 biggest success at Michigan. There are slew of teams, or worse, 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.840 slew of teams that he had connections to. The iron 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:05.880 is never gonna be hotter than it is now. He's 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.640 fifty eight now. It only gets harder to get an 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:11.080 NFL job after this. So I think the convergence of 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:14.560 all of those things makes this an ideal time. And 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:17.520 while I think he's loyal to Michigan, he loves Michigan. 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:20.800 I think probably in his mind he will say I 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:24.320 got him back, I got him back to being in 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.920 the picture in the national title Hunt. I left it 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:30.280 better than I found it. Now I can do something 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.880 that might be better for me personally, might be better 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:34.680 for my family. I think that's how he's probably looking 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:38.200 at it. But the irony of this is Sam he 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:41.200 beat Ohio State, and because he beat Ohio State, he 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:44.840 became a little bit more of a hot candidate. If 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:48.240 he loses to Ohio State, then it saw same old story. 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:52.159 He beats Ohio State, and that might be the reason 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:56.160 why he's back, you know, on the front burner. It 0:06:56.240 --> 0:07:00.240 is ironic. It's ironic in that you know, his name 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.400 was out there last year like it had never been before, 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:05.320 and there were no real takers. But again, I think 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.120 it's also the case that in this cycle you just 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:11.400 mentioned he's this hot name. I think it's all relatives. 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:15.240 I think it's hot relative to what he was last 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.520 year when there were no takers. Now, I mean, how 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.080 many jobs did you have opened? Eight? And while Jim 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:22.920 Harbaugh's name was attached to a bunch of these jobs 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:27.400 in the media, you talk to NFL people and his 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:30.960 name wasn't like really in the mix for all these jobs. 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:33.680 Why is this? People keep asking, why is he dragging 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.480 this out so long? You take it out as long 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.080 as it takes for a team to show real interest. Right, 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:42.120 So this is the team showing real interest. It happens 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:44.920 to be in the twenty third hour. It's related to 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:47.680 quessey A Dopo Mensa getting that job, a guy that 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.600 he worked with in San Francisco. So this, I think 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:54.200 even more so, Even as much as beating Ohio State 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:58.239 puts you on the radar, it's also I think really 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:01.400 revealing that it took this. It took to this point 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.600 in this cycle for him to get a real taker. 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:05.800 I think that's another reason why if you're him, man, 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.480 you better jump on his train while it's here. Is 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:14.320 Jim Harball coaching Minnesota or Michigan next season? I think 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.120 that's all about what Minnesota wants to do. If Minnesota 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:20.040 offers him that job, I really believe he will take it. 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:24.600 I think it's a prime opportunity. I think he's confident 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.000 in where he left it. I think he probably sees 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:30.800 a successor on his staff. He probably will will speak 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.160 up for one of them, I imagine before he goes so. 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:36.760 I think he's feeling pretty good about Michigan state and 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:41.559 about Michigan's state, and then I think with that it 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.319 gives him comfort in moving on to the next thing 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:47.319 for him. So if because this is what I can't quantify, 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.120 I don't know if they're going to offer him the job. 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:52.640 It seems like it's leaning that way. People I talk 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:56.080 to say that he's Questiodopho Menza's number one target. If 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.080 that's the case, and he knocks this interview out of 0:08:58.080 --> 0:08:59.920 the park and they're offering the job, he will take 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.840 good stuff, Sam, thanks for joining us, all right, Thanks 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.520 a load. Dan appreciated at Sam Webb, publisher of the 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:10.720 Michigan Insider dot com, twenty four seven sports and morning 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:15.000 show hosts of Sports Talk ten fifty. The ticket man. 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:19.880 The NFL just keeps on giving, and if offered the job, 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:22.560 does Jim take it. This is what I still don't 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.719 understand about the Dolphins, Steven Ross. If you say I 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:29.400 don't want to poach him from Michigan, but then Minnesota 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:32.920 is going to poach him from Michigan. If you want 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:36.560 him now, you should be saying, hey, Jim, if you're 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:38.920 gonna leave, then you can be my head coach with 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:41.679 the Dolphins. Because I thought that all along when you've 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:46.120 fired Flores, that you were hiring Jim Harbaugh and you're 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.960 going to let him go to the Minnesota Vikings. I'm 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:51.400 surprised if that's the case. Yeah. And here's the other 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:53.240 side of it. If Jim Harbaugh is using all this 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.200 to play Michigan to get a pay raise, Stephen Ross 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:57.960 would be involved in that. He's one of the biggest 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:01.480 boosters for University of Michigan sports. He's covering both sides 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:03.240 of it. Stephen Roth all right, A couple of phone 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:07.600 calls phill in Indiana. High Phil, what's on your mind? Hey, Dan, 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.480 always a pleasure. Hey, real quick. When you decide if 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:13.280 and when you ever decide to retire, please, for the 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:17.120 love of God, don't tell Adam Stefter. Pick somebody else, Dan, 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.920 maybe Jeremy Shaff or somebody. I don't know, but hey, Dan, 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:24.320 real quick. So you do think the blueprint now that 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:28.160 to stop Mahomes is what Cincinnati did. So they rushed, three, 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:31.079 drop seven, have a spy. I thought that was an 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:35.280 incredible game plan, extremely effective. I'm just wondering how many 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:38.360 teams look at that and try and duplicate that next year. 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:41.200 Have a great week, Dan, Thank you, Phil. Always great 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.400 to hear from you. I don't know about that. We 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.640 always talk about blueprints. Remember the blueprint for beating the 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.560 Chiefs was keep everything in front of you. Don't let Hill, 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:53.200 don't let Kelsey beat you. Nothing over the top there, 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.480 keep it all in front of you. And Mahomes had 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.520 a hard time adjusting to that. Eventually did this year, 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:02.120 and now you have this where you have three rushing 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:04.679 and then you have a spy on Mahomes, and then 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:09.440 you have seven in the secondary. I thought. I thought 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:13.440 it was a desperate move by the Bengals, but they 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.560 couldn't solve him. They had, you know, obviously a hard 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:19.120 time in the first quarter. Here was Mike. I just 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:22.959 kept thinking, Okay, at what point does Andy Reid offensive 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:28.800 genius start running the ball? That's all you got Jared McKinnon, 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:33.520 who I really like, Clyde Edwards as you drafted Mahomes 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:37.520 can scramble. I would have put the pressure there and 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:39.720 just said, we're gonna take up all the time on 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:43.080 the clock. You're not gonna get anytime. We're gonna have 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:46.920 methodical drives and you eventually are going to bring those 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.800 defensive backs up and now I'm gonna beat you. I 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:52.840 just didn't understand it. I thought it was it was 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.160 one of those where you're watching a game and you're going, Okay, 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:59.600 the Bengals countered, Okay, their defense in the beginning didn't work. 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:01.960 Now what do we do. We're gonna go with this 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.920 kind of gimmicky defense. And I kept waiting for the 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:08.760 Chiefs to go, oh, okay, we see that and we'll 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:12.800 raise you, and then they didn't, And I just thought, 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:17.360 you can run the ball, you can run the ball 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.480 all day long if you want to. You can have 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:24.200 screen passes whatever it is. You can incorporate Tyreek Hill 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.760 and those jet sweeps, whatever those things are. But I 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:29.680 just didn't I didn't understand it. Looking back on it 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.560 and watching, I mean, it was a brilliant decision, but 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:34.760 it might have been the only decision the Bengals had 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:40.240 in that situation. Zack and Charlotte joins us on the program. Hey, Zach, Hey, 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:44.679 but hey, hey, how about that guy Nick right man? 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:48.040 That dude freaking stinks. Man, I'm out on him. He's great, 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.200 like the way he's kind of going after you there. 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.440 Oh no, anyway, he's a good guy. I want to 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:57.560 speak with Fritzie if you don't mind, pretty I sure am. 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:00.800 Hey Fritzie, I know it's been a rough couple of 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.640 weeks since mclovin last, but I want to cheer you up. 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:05.800 And I've got a joke to do that. So are 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:10.000 you ready? Sure? I'm let's do it. Seventy nine is 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:18.000 the new seventy eight. That's Mark Mark Albert, that's Marv Albert. 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:21.160 There you go, great, keep your head up, man, Yeah, 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:25.880 that's got Seventy nine is the new seventy eight and 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:32.000 then you laughed at that, Michael, But that was a 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:36.400 good line though my mic still on. Yeah. Uh, I 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.840 don't know if Marvin can pull that up sitting in 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:43.840 there for Seaton, but classic moments in sports radio history. Yeah, 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:46.559 one of the greats of all time. Let me uh 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:50.800 sneak in Jeff and Detroit. Hi, Jeff, let me know 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:53.199 when you find that Mark you got it? Okay, here 0:13:53.200 --> 0:14:00.960 it is seventy nine is the new seventy eight? Todd? 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:07.840 So I might I think that that sounds like we 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:11.120 scripted it, and and Marv has no idea that Todd 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.120 is on his you know, his microphone is professionally just 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:17.600 kept going as if no one's talking in the background. Twice, 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:31.520 Play one more time, n Todd. So I'll be watching it. 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:36.640 I hope it gets off. I think that so bad. Yes, 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:39.480 there's just no explanation. Yes, it was. It was horrible. 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:40.800 I had been kind of doing this for a while, 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:42.640 you know, being on the air, and you would think 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:44.280 I would have got the button. Well, the Bill Hayter 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:47.840 won when you were laughing out when when Bill Hayter 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:52.640 did as Keith Morrison from Dateline impersonation. Yeah, like you 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:57.520 left your microphone open during the interview. Uh, Jeff in Detroit? 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.800 Hi Jeff, what's on your mind? He was going on? 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:03.440 Then what up? No one time for chat row? You got? 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:06.840 Sam Webb is right on something. They slighted him when 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.600 they took away his salary, and I guess it made 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:12.920 Jim Harball think that, you know, by them reducing the salary, 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:15.520 he wasn't doing a good enough job. Now he's, you know, 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:21.760 a hot commodity around town real quick. There's been a 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.960 national joke going around about my city. And the joke 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:27.480 is by Matt Staff are going to the super Bowl 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.760 and eminem playing the super Bowl. That's the closest that 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:33.600 Detroit will ever be to a super Bowl. They're wrong, 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:36.280 You're wrong, bettterst winning the Super Bowl was the closest 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:39.120 when the actual Super Bowl was here. So just to 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:40.960 let them know, if you're gonna dog me out, make 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:43.800 sure you got the right collar and leash for me.

Really Yeah, 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:59.000 the designation. Yeah, the NFC team was going to be 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:01.640 the road team in the Super Ball, so the Rams 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.440 are the road team against the Bengals.

Fritzie has a new poll question. Is 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:29.680 that what we're going with In the final forty minutes 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:31.600 of the show, why not? Who's the best available head 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:34.639 coaching candidate? Eric b Enemy thirty nine percent, Jim Harbor 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:39.199 twenty two, Ryan Flores seventeen, other thirteen percent, and then 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:41.840 it's Leftwich, Zimmer and Kellen Moore under that. All right, 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:45.280 I'm still waiting to see if Byron Leftwich is going 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:47.760 to get this Jacksonville John because it felt like it 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:51.840 was inevitable last week. But and then Hardball go into 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:54.639 the Vikings tomorrow. They talk to them. Bill Plashki, the 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:57.480 great columnists for the La Times, Around the Horn contributor, 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:00.439 and he joins us, now, Bill, will what will you 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:05.440 miss most about Tom Brady? I miss the fact that 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:09.560 you hated him. He's a one athlete in American culture 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:13.520 where you I hated him for ten or fifteen years 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:15.879 and and now I love him. I mean, he's I 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:19.600 missed the fact that you the conflicting emotions around this guy, 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:23.160 or no athlete has ever been so reviled and then 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:26.399 so and then come through it and then been so loved. 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:29.199 I mean, it's it's amazing the journey he's taken in 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:35.159 our in our conscious. What made you hate Brady? He cheated? Well, 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:39.720 let's don't forget let's don't forget this. He was arrogant. 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:42.720 He was part of the Belichick arrogant era. People knew 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:45.800 anybody come on Dan, anybody outside New England for years, 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:49.600 Lord Brady. And then he goes to Tampa Bay and 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:51.840 he does it without Belichick, and he does it on 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:53.560 his own. He doesn't on his own terms. And now 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:56.280 everybody loves him. And I think that's cool. But do 0:18:56.320 --> 0:19:00.000 you think that cheater label? How big is that label? 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.919 Was it in capitol letters here? No? I think I 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:05.120 think it got I think it became over. He won 0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:08.160 three super Bowls after that, so I think I think 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:11.359 that became lowercase. But it's still part of his resume, right, 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:15.240 and I'm amazed that some of these stories about his 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:18.120 retirement don't have that in there. I mean, that's part 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:21.639 of his legacy, for Pete's But again, he did. He 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:23.760 was able to overcome and that's that's That's what I'll remember, 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:26.960 is that he was able to overcome a whole most 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:29.639 of the country outside of New England really not liking 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:32.240 the guy, to everybody loving him and respecting him. What 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:36.240 was that feeling like when the Rams winning to advance 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:40.800 but putting maybe an end to Tom Brady's career. And yeah, 0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:42.879 I was there. It was amazing, It was It was 0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:45.240 amazing to me. I didn't think that, no way he 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:47.399 was going to retire. The last he threw a fifty 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:50.600 five yard touchdown pastor Mike Evans, We're watching the game 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:52.920 and like, this guy's unstoppable. He's gonna come back and 0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:55.679 beat the Rams. He's a great he's still the greatest 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:58.719 ever and it walks away. So it was it was 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:01.600 watching the game, I thought, this guy's got five more 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:03.640 years left in him. I mean, he was every bit 0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:06.480 as good as he's ever been. The whole press box 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:09.560 was hushed watching this guy work. We wouldn't think we 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:11.240 were watching a guy in the version of retirement. As 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:14.360 that's another cool thing, all right. He walked away at 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:17.280 the very very top of his game. He's as good 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:19.280 he was good on when I saw him that final game. 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:20.560 He's as good as that is when I saw him 0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:24.160 in his first game. Um, what would have happened if 0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:29.239 the Rams had lost that game the same day? That's 0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:32.120 gonn happen with the Lewis a Super Bowl. Dan, They're 0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:35.000 not done yet, buddy. It was interesting you said you 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:37.639 sounded surprise that the Bengals were the Rams were a 0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:40.520 visiting team in the Super Bowl. They're there, visiting team 0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:47.040 every game. They don't yet have this town, but they're 0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:50.120 working on it, and it will be. If they lost 0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:53.320 that game, it'll be a devastation, but it'll be similar devastation. 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:55.679 They've got to beat the Bengals. They have to in 0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:57.720 order to ensure their place and try to get on 0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:00.800 the pecking order with Lakers and Dodgers and SC football. 0:21:01.440 --> 0:21:03.360 They have to win this game. I mean, this game 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:05.800 is set up for him. If they can't winning their 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:08.440 home mess. I was just talking with with others about it, 0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:11.040 it'll be it's not gonna be. Well. They got this 0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:14.240 far good for them, you know, well tried, well hale 0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:17.680 and hardy guys. No, it'll be devastation. You blew it. 0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:20.480 You're gonna get ripped because they've got it. Because that's 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:22.840 where they're at this town. They have to win a 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:26.480 super Bowl championship to really forge their place in this 0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:29.760 community's landscape. If I said you could pick the Rams 0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:32.080 to win the Super Bowl or the Lakers to win 0:21:32.080 --> 0:21:35.439 another NBA title, oh, I think I'd picked the Rams 0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:38.280 because it's I like more teams and more fun and 0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:41.159 more variety. And I'm getting so sick of the lake 0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:44.560 Lebron's knee. Oh my god. The Lakers are just Anthony 0:21:44.640 --> 0:21:48.200 Davis makes me, oh my god. So yes, I think people, 0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:52.480 I think people would would rather be something different, something new. 0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:55.240 I mean, would they have a parade? Would anybody come? 0:21:55.320 --> 0:21:57.760 I'm sure there would be people parade. There'd be a 0:21:57.760 --> 0:22:01.760 lot of forty nine ers fans booing there. What do 0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:04.000 you what do you think the town's gonna be like? Though? 0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:08.359 Next week it's gonna be crazy because the Super Bowl's 0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:10.640
