1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. We made it to the final hour on 3 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: this Meet Friday, and it's quite a meat Friday. Morale 4 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: is high. Just went out to check on the beer rots, 5 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,760 Speaker 1: the hot sausages, the corn dogs, and buffalo chicken dip. 6 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: Who has it better than we do? Oh no, buddy, 7 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: Final hour. Mike Florio on the job openings. Is Sean 8 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: Payton going to coach or is he going back to TV? 9 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: Nick Wright from Fox Sports, First things first, we'll join 10 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: us as well. Carolina Panthers go with Frank Reich, but 11 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: not without a little drama there. Steve Wilkes, who did 12 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: a wonderful job. He is on the outside looking at 13 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: what happens now he's the interim head coach. Frank Wright 14 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: comes in us. He brings in his own staff as 15 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes, who rescued that franchise. Now out on the 16 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: street here you got Eagles and the Niners and not 17 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: many people talking about this matchup. It's not as sexy 18 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: as the Chiefs and the Bengals, but the Niners are 19 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: getting two and a half. The Bengals are now a 20 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: one point underdog. It's been a wild ride, and I 21 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 1: thought that you would see the fluctuation that it would 22 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: go back to Kansas City being the favorite after we 23 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: saw the video and when you're looking at Patrick Mahomes 24 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: with his workout video where they're just basically getting loose 25 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: and stretching. If you're running north and south, you're okay 26 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: with that high ankle spring. When you go east west, 27 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: especially when you're trying to run fast at your top 28 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: end speed and somebody's going after you, that's when it's 29 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: going to be different there. But I feel like I 30 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,119 Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if this one up even a little 31 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: bit more in favor of the Kansas City Chiefs. Eight 32 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: seven seven three d P Show email addressed Pitt dan 33 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show. Conflicting reports 34 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: on Sean Payton does he want the Denver job? Does 35 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: Denver want him? Is there an issue with a power 36 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: struggle potentially in the ownership group, because Sean Payton said 37 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: that's not the case. Mark Maski, the NFL reporter for 38 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: the Washington Post, said, otherwise, Let's bring in Mike Florio, 39 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: our good buddy from Pro Football Talk Live and Football 40 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: Night in America. Let me start with Sean Payton. I 41 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: threw it out last week. I said, I wouldn't be 42 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: surprised if he just went back to TV here, if 43 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: he surveyed all these jobs and went, you know what, 44 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: I'll take another year to kind of see what's going 45 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: to open up next year. Where do you think we 46 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,119 Speaker 1: stand with Sean Payton? Yeah? I was told a couple 47 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: of weeks ago, Dan, it's fifty fifty whether he coaches 48 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: this year or next year. He hadn't done any interviews yet. 49 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,119 Speaker 1: And the reality is, if you don't coach this year, 50 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: you're not going to make the money you would have 51 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: made coaching this year. That goes away and it never 52 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 1: comes back. But you've got to find the right spot. 53 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: I think one of the practical impediments before teams interested 54 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 1: in him all had entrenched general managers, and it is 55 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: our human nature to protect our backyard. Incomes Sean Payton 56 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: with an inclination to take over, you necessar Saily have 57 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: less juice as the GM of the team. That's been 58 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: a very real factor in all of this. So when 59 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: you aren't getting perhaps the power you thought you would get, 60 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: the money may not be close to the twenty to 61 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: twenty five million dollars we've heard attached to Peyton all 62 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: the way back to last year when the Dolphins were 63 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: ready to hire him and got busted for tampering with 64 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: him and Tom Brady. Maybe you do wait a year. 65 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: Maybe there is no job that just screams out to you. 66 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: I've got to have this job, especially with a possibility 67 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: that the charger's job maybe comes open next year if 68 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: there's another failed season with Justin Herbert at quarterback, because 69 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: I would imagine any candidate wants that job if that 70 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: job comes open. Dan Quinn going back as the defensive 71 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: coordinator with the Cowboys, what do you make of that move? Well, 72 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: I suggested initially that he decided to go back after 73 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: he realized he wasn't going to have an opportunity to 74 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: go anywhere else. And I was told privately that he 75 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: wasn't out of it with these other jobs. He just 76 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: decided it was the right thing for him. It just 77 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: seems odd to me. And this is a point Peter 78 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: King made earlier today on our show, The idea that 79 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: he would go through those interviews distract himself at a 80 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: time when he should have been preparing for the forty 81 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: nine ers offense. Why go through that? Peter said the 82 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: interview with the Colts was four hours. Why go through 83 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: that if you really aren't interested in taking the next 84 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: step up? And maybe he learned something through the process 85 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: where he said I'm fine where I am. Maybe he's 86 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: the wink wink nod nod successor to Mike McCarthy. I 87 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: don't know, but it's just odd to me when you 88 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: go through the process and don't wait for a final 89 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: answer before making your decision. But then Mike McCarthy said, 90 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones one seemed to coach as long as Tom 91 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: Landry coached. Maybe he met as long as Tom Landry coached. 92 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: After Jerry Jones bought the team five d eighty five, 93 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: if he coaches as long as Landry did eighty five. 94 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: Explain the Carolina situation here with Frank Wright getting the job, 95 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: his daughter was hired earlier by the Panthers, and then 96 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes is on the outside looking in. Well, and 97 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: let me start there with Steve Wilkes. The statement that 98 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: was issued by his lawyer yesterday makes it clear that 99 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: the Panthers are going to be invited to the pending 100 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: lawsuit that has five or six teams already joined in it, 101 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: with Brian Flores, Steve Wilkes, and Ray Horton alleging racial discrimination. 102 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: But the element here will be that Steve Wilkes wasn't 103 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: hired in Holer in part because of the fact that 104 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 1: he joined arm in arm with Brian Flores to stand 105 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: up to the shield to say you have employment practices 106 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: that are wrong. And it's amazing how many people don't 107 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: realize it's illegal to hold that against someone. That's protected 108 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: activity under the law. You have the right to address 109 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: grievances against your employer in court and they can't hold 110 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: it against you. They can't not choose you for the 111 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: head coaching job for any reason tied to that. And 112 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: when you look at Reich, you look at Wilkes, you 113 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: look at what Wilkes did. The Panthers had better be 114 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: able to explain persuasively why they chose not to continue 115 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: with Wilkes. And here's how Reich's daughter factors into it, 116 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: because it's not about a nepotism. Nepotisms rife in the NFL. 117 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: But she announced she was working for the Panthers about 118 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 1: ninety minutes after the final game of the regular season. 119 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: On a Sunday, I guarantee you that if and when 120 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: the Panthers who joined to this lawsuit still, Steve Wilkes 121 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: lawyers will delve into every nook and cranning emails, text messages, 122 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: aggressive deposition questioning when did you know? Did you know? 123 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: Did you know when she went to work that Frank 124 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: Reich was already targeted? Because that goes to the whole 125 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: idea of the sham interview. The owners know before they 126 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: even start the process who they're gonna hire, and all 127 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: of the interviews, including the Rooney Row interviews, are just 128 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: check the box to comply with league policy. I know 129 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: that sometimes we don't let facts get in the way 130 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: with like Nathaniel Hackett getting the job as offensive coordinated 131 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: with the Jets, which obviously means that Aaron Rodgers will 132 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: then go to the Jets, right Mike anything to this, well, Dan, 133 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: I firmly believe last year that the Broncos, when they 134 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: hired Nathaniel Hackett to be the head coach, thought they 135 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: had a very good shot at Aaron Rodgers. And I 136 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: don't think it was a coincidence that just within an 137 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: hour or two after Rogers announced he was staying with 138 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: the Packers for twenty twenty two. The Broncos had a 139 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: deal in place for Russell Wilson. I think Rogers was 140 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: Plan A and Wilson was planned big. So the Jets 141 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: have come out and said they're looking for a veteran quarterback. 142 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers potentially is available. It's not something you just 143 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: snap your fingers into. You've got a huge cap number 144 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: that's got to be dealt with. The Packers are going 145 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: to want something in trade. First. Rogers has to decide 146 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: he even wants to play. But obviously the presidence of 147 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett would make the Jets more desirable than they 148 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: would be if he wasn't there. But there's a lot 149 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: of decisions Rogers has to make before he even gets 150 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: to the point where he's assessing where he would play 151 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: next year if he plays for a different team. I 152 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: just assumed last year he got to the brink and 153 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: decided I'm just staying in Green Bay. And I don't 154 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: know why he wouldn't just decide to stay in Green 155 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: Bay this year. He's gonna make nearly sixty million, fully 156 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: guaranteed if he says to the Packers, I'm here I'm 157 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: staying deal with me. Tom Brady was testy with Jim Gray, 158 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: but I kind of viewed that maybe different than most people. 159 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: I thought, it's I'm gonna come out and be angry 160 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: at my friend Jim Gray, just to let people know 161 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: that I haven't spoken to any other team right now. Exactly, 162 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: absolutely right. First of all, Dan, the podcast is prerecorded. 163 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: They could have taken that part out right or rerecorded it. 164 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: You're like, hey, ask me again. Yeah. He didn't even 165 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: ask him, what are you gonna do? He said, do 166 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: you have a timetable? Yeah? Dan, we saw what happened 167 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: last year. He was going to Miami. He and Peyton 168 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: were going to Miami and then it all hit the 169 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: fan and the Dolphins lost a first round pick, and 170 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: that was that. I think this was his way to 171 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: throw everyone off the trail. Now that he's talking to 172 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: other teams, they're talking to him. It's all tampering violations. 173 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: He needs to be able to talk to them now 174 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: so he can make a decision in March. Is Miami 175 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: in play? Now? Is Miami play with Brady? What's that? 176 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: Miami in play? From his perspective, they're definitely in play. 177 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: From the Dolphins perspective. They get very upset when you 178 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: suggest that, because I think they don't want to complicate 179 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: two is ongoing recovery from his latest concussion any more 180 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: than they already have by giving any credence to the 181 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 1: idea that they're looking for another quarterback. So I think 182 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: the Dolphins are going to be very quiet about it, 183 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: and they already got stung last year with tampering. But Brady, 184 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: I believe, is at least interested in evaluating the possibility. 185 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: Why wouldn't he be. They've got plenty of pieces in 186 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: place where he could go and play, play well and 187 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: contend for a championship. Explain what you were hinting at 188 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: with the title games maybe in the future being played 189 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: at neutral sites or on different days. I think you 190 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 1: said Sunday or Monding like where we headed with the 191 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: potential for a neutral site title game. Well, there's only 192 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,719 Speaker 1: so many places in the pizza that the NFL can 193 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: cram the cheese, and there are certain revenue opportunities that 194 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: you can take advantage of without increasing your cost by 195 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: a single penny. And this whole neutral site thing, for me, 196 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 1: the moment, damn was last Friday, right about now, when 197 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: the league issued this announcement of fifty thousand tickets sold 198 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: in twenty four hours to a neutral site Bills Chiefs game, 199 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: half to Build season ticket holders, half to Chiefs season 200 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: ticket holders. And I thought, you know, they're telling us 201 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,319 Speaker 1: where this is going. They're doing their victory lap preemptively, 202 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,599 Speaker 1: so we all understand that at some point in the 203 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: future there's going to be a push for neutral site 204 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: conference championships. They want the college big game atmosphere. When 205 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: you tune in and you've got sad reaction from Texas fan, 206 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: sad reaction from Alabama fan, they're all in the same place, 207 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: fifty fifty in their team's colors. It doesn't happen at 208 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: the super Bowl because that's a destination. You get your 209 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: tickets before you even know who's going. I'm going to 210 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: the super Bowl this year. I don't care who's in it. 211 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: I'm going to the super Bowl. Destination. Conference championship means 212 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: half the state. Like the old Sitcom premise where they 213 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: put the tape down the middle of the room. That's 214 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: what the NFL's looking for, and people hate it. But 215 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen If they do it. We're gonna not 216 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: watch it, just like the Sunday Monday possibility to split 217 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: it up, because I'd love to just focus on forty 218 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: nine Ers Eagles Sunday and then worry about Bengals Chiefs Monday. 219 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: Fans don't like it, but if the NFL sees a 220 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: way to make more money doing it that way, they 221 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: will have a great weekend. Mike, thanks for joining us. 222 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: That's Mike Florio Pro Football Talk Live in the show 223 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: that precedes Hours on CONK with Chris Simms. Yeah, he's 224 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: right about it. If you can sell those tickets now, granted, 225 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: you've got to have those great fan bases that are 226 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: willing to travel. And the Bills, the Chiefs if they 227 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: were going to play in Atlanta, UM, I get it. 228 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: I mean it's it's all about business. But I don't. 229 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to see a Sunday and 230 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: then a Monday. I still like them on the weekend. 231 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: I like that better. But any any chance to open 232 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: up new revenue doors, that's what the NFL is looking at, 233 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: you poll. I think that the NFL opens up like 234 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: the topic comes out that they're actually looking at it, 235 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: and an NFC title games at neutral sits. They're going 236 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 1: to get roughed up because one of the great things 237 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: in sports, because nobody can go to the Super Bowl. 238 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: Most home fans can't go to the Super Bowl, the 239 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: cost to travel, the short notice. But you can go 240 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,079 Speaker 1: to the FC title game. If your team's any you 241 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: can go to the NFC Title Game. I know that 242 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: will they will get crushed on this one. But all 243 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,719 Speaker 1: the caravout is making money. Then then all of a 244 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: sudden it becomes that's what happens. It's a neutral site, yeah, 245 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: Seaton that most people can't go to their home teams games. Yeah, 246 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: if I wanted to take my wife and my kid 247 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: up to a Patriots game, it's a thousand dollars minimum, easy, 248 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: Who the hell could Nah, And then you're gonna have 249 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: to spend more to go on the road to get 250 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 1: to the game. To spend a few thousand dollars. Yeah, 251 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: it smart. And what's the like the purpose of like 252 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 1: um doing well in the in the in the regular season? Yeah, 253 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: where it's like, oh, we can host a divisional game, right, 254 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: and then that's it. Yeah, and we got to go 255 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: to ATLA. I don't like it. I mean Florio brought 256 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 1: this up. I don't know you know how much traction 257 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: it has. But just the fact that you could see 258 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 1: that they were going to do this. It was going 259 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: to be the Bills and the Chiefs on the neutral 260 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: site and they're going to go to Atlanta. So what 261 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: was going to happen? Granted it was only for this 262 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: year because of what happened with you know, the Bengals 263 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: and Bills in Cincinnati. Uh, let me see JJ in Texas. JJ, 264 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Hey, good morning, Dan and 265 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: dan At. Happy to meet Friday. Thank you first time, 266 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: long time, five ten and a half, two forty a half. 267 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: His plump. I haven't heard anybody talk about on Mahomes injury. Key, 268 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: if you go back and look at it, I'm not 269 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: saying he's trying to hurt him, but if you watch him, 270 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: he pulls his left he gives his left knee and 271 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: make sure all of his white lands where it should 272 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: have hurt him. Well, No, there are people who have 273 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: said that it yet looked intentional. Yeah, I mean that's 274 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: a gruesome injury. Those those injuries do happen in the 275 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: course of a game. But yeah, there were people who 276 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: are singling out the Jags for trying to hurt, Patrick Mahomes. 277 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if the Cincinnati Bengals 278 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: certainly spotlight that injury and maybe tug on it if 279 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: they can twist a little bit, if they can. Yeah, Paul, 280 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: I'm watching to play again, and one of alignment is 281 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: trying to pull him down. The others trying to pull 282 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: him a different way. They're pull them too it away, 283 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: but both of them let their hands go so they 284 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: don't get that throwing the quarterback penalty. It's more so 285 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: that their weight kind of twisted the homes. Let's take 286 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: a break. Nick Wright's going to join us.

Surprised him to say thank you. 338 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: Next thing I know, I get an email or Fritzie 339 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: does he goes, Nick gave away your Marconi. It was 340 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: on a radio interview in Boston and he gave it away. 341 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: And then I text Nick and I said, I gave 342 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: it to you as a gift to thank you. You 343 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: gave it away as a joke. I hope you gave 344 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: away the watch that I gave you as well. Okay, Well, 345 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 1: first of all, I'd never give the watch away. Sell 346 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: it made, but never give it away. Okay, but you 347 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: have a few of them. So I was at the 348 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: Marconi's with Danny Parkins, who hosts afternoons on the Score 349 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 1: in Chicago. Okay, that's important context. Okay. I wasn't on 350 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: a radio interview in Boston. I was on Danny's radio 351 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 1: station in Chicago when this came up. So now this 352 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: is where I think. So he was nominated. He didn't 353 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: win because Greg Hill from Boston one. I don't know 354 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: what they submitted. That's outrageous, but doesn't matter. Okay, So 355 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 1: this is where I think you will say, you know what, Nick, 356 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: it was good move. So Danny about a month ago, 357 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if he'll like me saying this, but 358 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: you know what, we're all friends. Here was dealing. Was 359 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: in some contract negotiations, and you know how those radio 360 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: negotiations can at times get contentious. And he never wanted 361 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: to leave Chicago. He's never planning on leaving Chicago, but 362 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: I told him, hey, we gotta you know, you need 363 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: as much leverage as possible, so some big boys come 364 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: out and try to hire you. Maybe we get the 365 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: dollars up or something, so he may. So I was like, 366 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: you'll probably have like a zoom interview at some point 367 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: with someone you already have on the resume nominated for 368 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: a Marconi, but you can't put on it you want it. 369 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: But what if in the background there is there is 370 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: a Marconi statue and they're like, oh, he just didn't 371 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: update the resume. He won a Marconi. They're not gonna 372 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: google it. I was like, so you just have that 373 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 1: there until this contracts up, gets taken care of, and 374 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: then send it back to me. So that's what he's doing. 375 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: And you know, you can hear him on the Score 376 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 1: in Chicago, and hear him on First and Pod, a 377 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: great podcast he does with Andrew Philipponi. He's a great 378 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: radio host who now his he's got two small children, 379 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 1: just bought a house in Chicago, he's got a great 380 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 1: new contract. So you're that is what we call paying 381 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: it forward. You did something nice for me. I did 382 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: something nice for him. Now it comes back to me, 383 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: probably shows up on eBay in a few months. But 384 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 1: you didn't convey that as a radio host, as a journalist, 385 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: you didn't convey the story accurately to Fritzie. Therefore Fritzie 386 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: conveyed it to me. Well, so listen, I didn't convey 387 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: anything to Fritzie. I sent Fritzie a link. Now, if 388 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: you're saying that the folks who are currently on the 389 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 1: sports media beat that maybe they need to dust up 390 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 1: on some journalism classes, that's you know, that's for you 391 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,640 Speaker 1: to say. All I did was send Fritzie a link 392 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: to a story that had been written. I said show 393 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: this to Dan. I didn't vouch for it. I didn't 394 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: do any of those things. And let me tell the 395 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: audience something else. Dan sends texts with odd punctuation and 396 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: weird emojis, and I can never tell is this because 397 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: he's old and confused or is he sad? And I 398 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: got this text the other morning, and I'm like, I 399 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: think I hurt my friends feelings, and so I was 400 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: really anxious about this. Well, um, I did send it. 401 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 1: When he goes, are you mad? Or are you jealous? 402 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: Are you upset of me? My my insides are turning. 403 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: I was worried. And then I go, even the clown 404 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: has tears? Nick, that's what he wrote. I'm like, what 405 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: does that mean? And I saw a Fritzie today and 406 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: I go, I got him? And he goes, what got me? 407 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: And I told him myself, Yeah, he's all. He's a 408 00:21:54,960 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 1: mess now because I didn't respond, he just left me 409 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: on the red I did. Oh no, I did. And 410 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: there's and there's all. Let me give one more piece 411 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: of context. Let me talk football and basketball and everything. Okay, 412 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 1: this all you had six hours prior? Asked if I 413 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: wanted to go to dinner. Yes, and and you know what, 414 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this because you'll like it. But I 415 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: I'm going to dinner with coach Eric Mangini and his 416 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: wife tonight. So I couldn't my wife's coming with us 417 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 1: a little double date. I said to my wife. I 418 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: was like, ah Dan invited me to dinner. But I 419 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: can't because we have Mangini's. Do you know what my 420 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: wife said, my wife who we don't have to go 421 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: down that road again. She said, I'll go with him. 422 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: I said, you've got it. I'm anna break that Marconi 423 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 1: in halfway. Dude, I am playing the long game with 424 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:48,959 Speaker 1: your wife. I'm just I just you know, I yes, 425 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: she loves love just like I do. Okay, all right, 426 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: he's nick right, he's our good buddy from a fun 427 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: sports one. We're all good. We're all good. Okay, thank yeah, 428 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: we are, we are good. But man, I want I 429 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: wanted you to grind over this big time. Okay, why 430 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: is Mahomes being disrespected in your mind? Well, it's just 431 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: I just people. People evidently want to treat the best 432 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 1: quarterback in the world title like it's the heavyweight championship crown, 433 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 1: Like if you lose to a guy, he just gets it. 434 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 1: And I had to listen all year long about how 435 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: it's Mahomes, Allen, Allen, Mahomes, who knows this guy might 436 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 1: be better? And it was nonsense, total, complete nonsense. And 437 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: I was called a hater for saying, Josh Allen isn't 438 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: even the second best quarterback in the world. Joe Burrow 439 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 1: is and everyone thought the Bills were gonna roll the 440 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: Bengals except for me when I correctly predicted the Bill 441 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 1: season for the third year in a row, and then 442 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: the moment the Bills lose. Now it's Mahomes, Borrow Burrow, Mahomes, 443 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: who knows. I guess we'll see if they it's so. 444 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: That's the first reasons nonsense. Second reason nonsense this Dan, 445 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: I want to give America a very quick less of 446 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 1: what Patrick Mahomes and the playoffs has meant his first 447 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: year in the playoffs, twenty four fourth quarter points and 448 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: three fourth quarter comebacks against Bill Belichick's defense, including a 449 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 1: drive in less than thirty seconds of force overtime. They 450 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 1: don't get the coin flip. They lose. They didn't like 451 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: Buffalo go, crying to the commissioner, change the rules, James. 452 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: The rules took their medicine. The next year, three double 453 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: digit comebacks, including twenty one points in less than six 454 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 1: minutes of the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl against 455 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 1: the league's best defense. Then next year back in the 456 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 1: Super Bowl and has the Tampa Bay Bucks. I tweeted 457 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: out the video of it in AWE on the sideline 458 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 1: as he's throwing passes horizontal to the ground, bouncing off 459 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: guy's face. Mess. The next year in the playoffs was 460 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: last year. They scored forty two forty two twenty one 461 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: in the first half, and then Mahomes had his version 462 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: of Lebron's twenty eleven finals short circuited for a half 463 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 1: of football, lost him the game. And then this year 464 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 1: he has a damn flu game excepted to sprain ankle game. 465 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:01,959 Speaker 1: People are like, I don't know if Joe Burrow beats him, 466 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: he's a better player. Give me a break, Give me 467 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: a break, and Mahome's going to go put on a 468 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: show this weekend. Well, you also have to factor in 469 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: that Mahomes has had one good quarter in eight quarters 470 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. That's okay, but it's not true. 471 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: It's flatly not true. Watch the Bucks game again, Dan, 472 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: He was brilliant, He was brilliant, and passes are being dropped. 473 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 1: It doesn't no, we don't do that. You don't go, oh, 474 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: you know what the receiver. Do you do this for 475 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: any other quarterback? When you go back in time, you 476 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 1: go boit. Man. They they dropped all of those passes, 477 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: or he would have you know won that game. You're 478 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: doing it for Mahomes. I mean, you're blurring the lines here. 479 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: That's his team. They dropped the ball. What happens? You know, 480 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: you're you're trying to make it seem like he had 481 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,439 Speaker 1: two touchdowns four picks. I'm not in two super Bowls. 482 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 1: I'm not blurring any lines. His quarterback rating is sixty 483 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: four in this Super Bowl. He's not been great. Now 484 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: you can say his teammates didn't help him. Well, we 485 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: can say that about a lot of quarterbacks in the 486 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. What's your favorite Tom Brad What do you 487 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: think is the most impressive Tom Brady Super Bowl? Dan? 488 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: What's the best one? No, the twenty eight to three 489 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 1: comeback is the answer. That's what everyone would go to. 490 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: He threw a pick six in that game to get 491 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: down twenty eight to three and then led the comeback. 492 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 1: The idea that we're gonna act like coming back from 493 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 1: down double digits with six minutes left against the league's 494 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: best defense and then winning by a double digits is 495 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: not a wildly impressive super Bowl performance against the Niners 496 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: is nonsense. Now you want to say he underachieved against 497 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: the Bucks. I think the film disagrees. But despite that 498 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: passer rating that you've mentioned in the Super Bowl, the 499 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: guys played in twelve playoff games has the all time 500 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: best passer rating in the postseason, the all time best 501 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 1: touchdown interception ratio in the postseason, the all time best 502 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: yards per game in the postseason. So what I'm here 503 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: is telling you is he is an all time legendary 504 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 1: postseason performer. And now people are doubting what he's gonna 505 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 1: look like on Sunday. He's in his own category. I 506 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: asked the question earlier this week, quarterback, you want to 507 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: start your team with We took Mahomes out of the conversation. 508 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 1: He said his own conversation. Yes, but I'm just saying 509 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 1: he's not everything that you're saying he is. He's not 510 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. He's not And we are welcoming 511 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: somebody to come in to the conversation. That's what this 512 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 1: and that's what Burrow is about. He's can we have 513 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: somebody in the conversation because nobody is in the conversation. 514 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: Josh Allen's not, Justin Herbert's not, Jalen Hurts is in. 515 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: Is Joe Burrow at least going to make this a 516 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,959 Speaker 1: fun conversation, and I'm fine with that. I'll be very 517 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 1: quick here, Okay, I am all years said Joe Burrows 518 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 1: the second best quarterback in football. What frustrates me is 519 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: the lack of consistency from my media colleagues who all 520 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: year long said Alan and Mahomes were neck and neck. 521 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: And we're putting Burrow down with Herbert down in a 522 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: different tier. And then why do you know? Names out 523 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: who did this? Literally everyone but me, literally everyone in 524 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 1: the media button Nick Wright, that's the names. Okay, we're 525 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: on the same page with Lebron, with what Lebron is doing. 526 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: I just I'm I'm amazed that this isn't bigger. I 527 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,199 Speaker 1: know that it's going for Kareem's record, but nobody has 528 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 1: had this, Nobody's had a season like this, and Lebron 529 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: is doing this on a nightly basis, and he has 530 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: to because Anthony Davis isn't there. I don't know. Just 531 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure this out, you know. I tell 532 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: you it's the protection of Michael Jordans. I mean, that's 533 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: all it is. It's it's you can't this was a 534 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: record Dan in the last fifty five years. Here are 535 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: the people who have held the title of NBA's all 536 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: time leading scorer. I'll give you the full list. It'll 537 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: take a while. Will Chamberlain, Karem up, Little Jabar, that's 538 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: the list. Kareem set this record or broke the record 539 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: before Lebron was born. It was considered unbreakable. Up to 540 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: six years ago. People thought it couldn't be broken. Lebron's 541 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: gonna break it by four thousand points, five thousand points, 542 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: six thousand points. And the reason I say it's the 543 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: protection of Jordan is when the timeline goes long enough, 544 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: folks are gonna be like, Okay, so tell me the argument. 545 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: Explain to me why Jordan's the greatest. They'd be like, oh, winner, 546 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, he had the most championships. No, Kareem 547 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: had the same. Oh, but it's tied for the most. No. 548 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 1: Actually this guy named Bill Russell who had eleven. Okay, 549 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: well that can't be it. Then he played like he 550 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: did it the longest. No, it's not even not even close. Actually, oh, 551 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: I know what it is. He's the greatest scorer ever, 552 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: well kind of, but he's actually fifth on the all 553 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: time list and ten thousand points behind the all time 554 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: score right now this moment, Dan, there is a bigger 555 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: gap in points between Lebron and Jordan then Jordan and 556 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: Paul Pierce. By the end of the season, the gap 557 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: between Lebron and Jordan will be the same as the 558 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: gap between Jordan and your guy, Reggie Miller. So it's like, 559 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: so then the argument just has to be, well, oh, oh, 560 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: I get it. Was he playing during the toughest year 561 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: of basketball? Was he just going through superteam after superteam? 562 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: It's like, whoa, No. In the East, he had to 563 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: go through a nixt team that had one Hall of 564 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 1: Famer to go to the finals against a Blazer's team 565 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: that had one Hall of Famer, and then the Sons 566 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: that had one Hall of Famer, and then the Sonics 567 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: that had one Hall of So it's like, then, wait, 568 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: why is he the universally accepted goat. It's like, oh, 569 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, but people have always said it, 570 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: So I guess you had to be there. And so 571 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: that Lebron's gonna be scoring thirty a night when he 572 00:30:55,720 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: breaks this record, that's unfathomable. It's totally unfair athamable that 573 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: he's still one of the eight best players in the league. 574 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: But you know, people might look at career average. Jordan's 575 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: what at thirty Lebron's at twenty seven if that factors in. 576 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: But I'm with you on all of this. Lebron's gonna 577 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: end up in the top five and his sis when 578 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: it's all so the greatest scorer is not a great shooter, 579 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: and he's gonna be one of the top five passers 580 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: in the history of the game. And it's not compiling, 581 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: you know, this is and I'm gonna have average twenty 582 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: one a game and you know six assists and five 583 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: Well that's the other important part of it. Maybe at 584 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 1: some point you'll get there. But the fact that he's 585 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: breaking the record when he's arguably playing at a first 586 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: team all NBA level, even I'll tell you this. You know, 587 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: Lebron's got that ad campaign, you know, the Lebron versus 588 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: Father Time. Yeah, if you watched the first ten games 589 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: of the year, I was like, oh boy, I think 590 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: Father Time finally caught up. Like it looked like Lebron 591 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: had shifted from where he was last year to like 592 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: a fringe top twenty five guy. Then he would miss 593 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: two weeks came back since he turned thirty eight, Danny's 594 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: averaging thirty six points per game like he has been 595 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: since after that was opening two weeks of the season. 596 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: He's been as good as anybody in the league. And 597 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: so there's no context for it. But I wonder if 598 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: people look at Jordan and Lebron the way we do 599 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: Jim Brown versus Emmett Smith, that the yards aren't close. 600 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: Jim Brown was something we had never seen before Emmett 601 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 1: came along and dominated as far as you know, career 602 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 1: rushing yards. Here's here's where I would say, I under 603 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 1: I think that's a really good comp to a degree. 604 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: Where I would disagree is if we just went Jim Brown. 605 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: If you put Jim Brown and Emmett Smith's careers together 606 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: and said pick out the five best singular seasons, they'd 607 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: all be Jim Brown seasons, right, you know what I mean? 608 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: If you did that with Jordan and Lebron, he'd go 609 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: back and forth, back and forth. It's not like maybe 610 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: you can say Jordan's peak if you want to argue 611 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: it was a touch higher. I don't know. The year 612 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 1: Lebron hat the twenty seven game winning streak and almost 613 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 1: one Defensive Player of the Year and was one vote 614 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: away from your name's MVP was pretty good. But you 615 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: want to say Jordan's peak was a touch higher, so 616 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 1: be it. But it's not substantial, and they're the best 617 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: seasons for each of those guys. Can go tit for tat, 618 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: and ultimately people are gonna be like, well, who was 619 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: the better you know, let's go age by age, Like 620 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 1: who was the better teenager? Well, Jordan was averaging thirteen 621 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: a game for Carolina and Lebron was making All Star teams. Well, 622 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: I guess that's Lebron. Who was the better thirty eight 623 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: year old? Well, Jordan was averaging twenty a game for 624 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: a below five hundred Wizards team. Lebron is in the 625 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: you know, first team All NBA discussion. So yeah, if 626 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 1: we want to say late twenties to thirty one, Jordan 627 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: was better, it's close but fine. But the body of 628 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 1: work is so overwhelming it's not going to Ultimately it's 629 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 1: not going to be an argument. Yeah, people won't entertain that, 630 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: and I that's where I have a problem with it. 631 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: What is wrong with consistency, durability, the totality of this. 632 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,399 Speaker 1: Why can't he be the greatest player of all time? 633 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 1: Just because you have your memories and you're growing up 634 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 1: with Michael Jordan and we all fell in love with everything. 635 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 1: It feels like, you know, we're very begrudgingly acknowledging the 636 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 1: greatness of Lebron. We're seeing the great greatest player of 637 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 1: all time in my opinion, right in front of us. 638 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,439 Speaker 1: But well, we're not going to acknowledge it. Maybe after 639 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: the fact. And it's almost who won't it? Sorry, you know, 640 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: also want to acknowledge it is god dog GM who 641 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 1: comes out and gives a quote. He's like, I'm not 642 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: going to make a trade unless you know it makes 643 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: us a championship contender. It's like, all right, buddy. So 644 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 1: Lebron's playing at a better level than you could have hoped. 645 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis is now back, he's playing, he was playing 646 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 1: the best of his career. Ross is actually working in 647 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,359 Speaker 1: the role he's in, and the coach has been good. 648 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: So all those things happen that your best case scenario 649 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: check check, check check. And you don't think the team's 650 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 1: already a contender? Well why because the roster is terrible? 651 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: Whose job is that? MALINKA? I forget? Oh they got 652 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 1: so the guy who built the team says the team's 653 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: not good enough to improve. It's maddening. It's utterly maddening. 654 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: See Jordan is Neil Armstrong. That's the problem. He's second. 655 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 1: Lebron is second on the moon. Oh that's you know what, 656 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: that's better than the Jim Brown Emmett Smith thing. I 657 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: don't know which one of your guys fed you that line, 658 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 1: but that's that's vintage Dan Patrick. Yeah, I mean that 659 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 1: is when you really add your fastball's great. Don't so. 660 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: But here's I guess here. What I'm doing well is spitting? Okay, Okay, 661 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: now you're so on that note. Here's the here's the 662 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: question I would ask people, who's the Why is jay 663 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,879 Speaker 1: Z the greatest rapper ever? Because he is, And it's 664 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: because the body of work is so overwhelming it's impossible 665 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 1: to deny. Now, if you want to argue Tupac's best 666 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 1: out album is better than jay Z's, so be it. 667 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 1: But he didn't do it long enough. And the thing 668 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:10,319 Speaker 1: with Jordan is Jordan quit twice. He could have. It's 669 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 1: not like, oh nobody played that long. No, Kareem did, 670 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,840 Speaker 1: Karen Malone? Did those guys played that long? Jordan is 671 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,280 Speaker 1: left five seasons on the table. That was his choice, 672 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,879 Speaker 1: so be it. But we can't then be like, well 673 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 1: he would have won all these other titles. We don't 674 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: know that. What we do know is as far as 675 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,239 Speaker 1: who has created the most winning basketball, it's one guy 676 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,400 Speaker 1: in league history by a mile. And it's also why 677 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,279 Speaker 1: I think Kareem's the second best player ever top three, 678 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: he's not bad, Jordan. If you include college in there, well, 679 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 1: if you include college, Kareem's got the greatest basketball life ever. Yes, 680 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,239 Speaker 1: if you include college, he's the greatest basketball life ever. 681 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 1: I like what your wife has done with the house there. 682 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 1: Why do you think it's not mean? You don't think 683 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 1: I'm the one designing this stuff. You can't even cut 684 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,319 Speaker 1: your hair.

All right, Marv forty nine ers, twenty 726 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:50,920 Speaker 1: to ten Bengals, Wow, thirty four seventeen all right, everybody's 727 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:55,960 Speaker 1: on the Bengals bandwagon. Paulie Chiefs Eagles. Oh, you sometimes 728 00:39:56,040 --> 00:40:01,279 Speaker 1: pick with the story over the reality, right, I'll take 729 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 1: the Bengals for sentimental reasons. And I'm gonna take the Niners. 730 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,920 Speaker 1: Take the Niners. Let's go. Yeah. Yeah, And Pauli's right 731 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,239 Speaker 1: about that game for me, because the Eagles probably the 732 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 1: most balanced team. Uh. They run the football. Hurts has 733 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 1: been awesome. He gives you a different element than Brock 734 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 1: Purdy does. And you're asking Brock Purdy to play a 735 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 1: good game. You can't play an average game. You're gonna 736 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:28,839 Speaker 1: have to play a good game. Yeah, Seat, I can't 737 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,800 Speaker 1: wait for us all on Monday when like, Eagles and 738 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:33,840 Speaker 1: Chiefs both roll and we're like, well, obviously they've been 739 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: the two best teams all season. Of course. I mean 740 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,279 Speaker 1: the Eagles are the most balanced team. As I said 741 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,279 Speaker 1: on Friday, I'm Friday said they're the most balanced team. 742 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,320 Speaker 1: I mean, everybody saw this coming. Well, if you say it, 743 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,840 Speaker 1: if you say nice things about these teams, then you 744 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,000 Speaker 1: can piece it together to make it seem like that's 745 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 1: how you felt the entire time. Yeah, is gonna be 746 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 1: the Eagles team? I am agreeing with you essentially. Yes. 747 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 1: And then the danger of the Chiefs being down early 748 00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 1: because the Chiefs often get down early. Oh, look at 749 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,640 Speaker 1: the Chiefs showing you that. That's a watch that halftime 750 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 1: scot Eli Manning's going to join your son on Monday.

Everybody who was there 762 00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 1: will remember that they were there when that happened, and 763 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,239 Speaker 1: probably a lot of people who weren't there but want 764 00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 1: to tell you that they were there that.
