WEBVTT - 11/18/21 DPS Hour 1 Mike Florio 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.320 Sports Radio. This has nothing to do with the show, 0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:10.080 but I was watching Sports Center with the Dan nts 0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:15.640 and the anchor was interviewing page from WWE and talking 0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:19.759 about the rivalry with I think Becky Lynch, but asking 0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:23.239 a question as if you were talking to Patrick Mahomes 0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:27.760 about this game against the Cowboys this weekend, page, how 0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:31.320 would you sum up your rivalry with Becky Lynch? And 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:34.320 then she gave great pause like, oh my god, like 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:38.560 this is a serious question, and I went, oh my god, 0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:44.320 what do you see happening this weekend? Um, well, it's 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:47.640 in the script. I know what's going to happen. She 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:51.320 hold it up. Yeah, yeah, it says right here, I win, 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.959 and then she'll win the rematch and then I win. Oh, 0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:58.080 welcome to the program. Already in progress. As you can tell. 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:02.120 I remember when the wrestlers came to Sports Center. We 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:07.520 did commercials and the Undertaker, and look they were great 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:11.080 Stone Cold Steve Austin, great commercial that I got to 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:15.039 do with him. Great people. But it's difficult for me 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:18.880 to watch Sports Center as you're going to cover WWE 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:24.160 as if it was the NFL. So Paige, where do 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:26.959 you think you could take advantage of Becky Lynch in 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:31.920 the in the ring? Yeah, Paul, it's like covering Broadway. 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.120 It's like covering a Broadway play. What do you think's 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.280 gonna happen here in the third set? It's like covering 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.280 circ to Sole. So what do you think happens in 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:43.959 the second act? It's scripted, it's right here. I already know. 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:47.600 I know it's athletic. I know, I know they're they're 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.880 great athletes, they're great actors as well. It was just 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:54.320 it was it's a little jarring for me to watch 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:58.200 Sports Center, spending eighteen years there, and look, they asked 0:01:58.200 --> 0:01:59.840 me to do a lot of different things. We put 0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:04.240 a game show, remember that it was called I think Teammates. 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:08.160 Do you remember that where we would interrupt Sports Center 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:15.000 to do a game show Big Borrow and deal. Yes, 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:22.400 like hearsay or something like that variation of that. Oh yes, Seaton. 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:25.440 You know what we get mostly from the wrestling fans 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.360 in our audience when these types of topics come up 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:32.320 as a come on, not you guys too. Everybody makes 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:33.920 fun of us, but you guys, don't make fun of us. 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:36.560 You're not come don't please, But I'm not making fun 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:40.160 of wrestling. I'm making fun of covering wrestling. I understand this. 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.959 It gets wrapped up in the come on, don't pick 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:47.520 on us, please, No. Look, I love them, you know. 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.400 I get emotional when I go to those press conferences 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:53.840 when they retire, still real to you. That's why I 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:57.920 still don't real to me. Just water. Thank y'all. Do 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.240 you have that Seaton? Can you find that clip? It's 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.560 one of my favorites. And I don't know who the 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.239 wrestler is, but the fact that the wrestler is saying easy, 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:10.640 there's very funk. Mister funk. See if you can find 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.920 that take his name, take it easy mane Yes, I 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.320 like wrestling. I grew up in wrestling, Roddy Roddy Piper. 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.520 I like the It's an impressive show. There's a reason 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.080 you can't bet on wrestling. You can't put one hundred 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:23.679 bucks on if Roman Reins is going to win the 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:27.880 Intercontinental title. You cannot bet on wrestling. Next question, Jeff, 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:31.720 where are you right there? Yeah? Um, I just want 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:35.320 to thank each and everyone hell for all you're doing. 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:45.800 It's still really be damn it. I thank you guys. 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.360 You know, we're awesome. Thank you so much, mister fun 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:52.960 for saying what needed to be saying. I don't want 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:57.960 to see it. Hey, take it easy, easy man, Take 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:00.520 it easy man. Yes, I told you the suns that 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.200 Chris Farley from slid Yeah, how is that not Chris 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.960 Farley saying, Oh, I know, I'm surprised that they didn't 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.360 spoof that. Yeah, Polly, don't sleep on the proper respect 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:14.000 given from mister Terry Funk. I know I respect that. Yeah, 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:16.400 let's real to me. I just want to thank you 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:25.200 for saying what needed to me. See it squshed up face. Yeah, 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:28.760 and once again it's we're not making fun of wrestling. 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:33.560 We're making fun of the coverage of wrestling. Big dang. Okay, 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:40.040 let Satan answer them, go get him, Seaton answer all 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:43.000 of our Twitter followers. Oh, come on, not you guys 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:46.640 man really. By the way, In commemoration the thirty fifth 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:50.760 anniversary of Hoosiers, today's newsletter will include an interview I 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:54.159 did with Maris villanis better known as Jimmy Chitwood. He 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.240 shares how he got hired for the role, as well 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.280 as some great stories working with Gene Hackman and Dennis 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:03.240 Hopper that's on the newsletter that comes out later on today. Alrighty, 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.040 welcome to the program, as you can tell already in progress, 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:11.279 Thursday Night Football Mac Jones week. Unofficially, what if the 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:16.200 Patriots lose this game? Because here's this scenario. Patriots, they 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:21.200 play well, Mac Jones plays well, and then that continues 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:25.320 the narrative. Mac Jones best quarterback in the draft. The 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:28.080 Patriots they're going to be a playoff team? Are they 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:32.920 a super Bowl contender? What if the Falcons win? Then 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:38.120 what happens? Patriots are big favorites six and a half 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:42.720 point favorites against Atlanta in Atlanta eight seven seven three 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:45.760 d P Show email address DP of Dan Patrick dot com, 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:49.040 Twitter handle a DPS show say good morning to Peacock, 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:52.360 our streaming partner, download that app, watch for free all 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:55.680 three hours and our radio affiliates around the country.

All the merch you need 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:01.880 for holiday shopping, you can go there and get the calendar, 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:07.000 t shirts, hoodies, official DP show, puzzle, Penny's, Bang Biscuits, 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.880 Todd has Limerick, greeting cards, and a whole lot more. 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.280 Really proud of all the things that we've done there 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.560 on the website. Go to Dan Patrick dot com mclovin. 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:17.600 Do we have a poll question today? Yeah, we have 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:20.039 a few topics here. Start with Matt Jones. Is Matt 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:23.120 Jones more the guy or the right place at the 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:27.200 right time. I think he's both. I think it's really 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:30.880 essential where you go. Who's your coach, who's your offensive coordinator, 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.359 what weapons do you have? How good is your offensive line. 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:37.520 It's if Trevor Lawrence was with New England, then we 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:41.160 would probably be throwing verbal bouquets at Trevor Lawrence. But 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:45.159 he plays in Jacksonville. If Zack Wilson was there, maybe 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.760 we're saying the same thing. If Justin Fields is there, 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:52.159 if Trey Lance is there, right place, right time, right coach, 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:56.080 right system. A lot of times you'll see these quarterbacks 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:59.159 who go into a system and then the offensive coordinator 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.159 gets fired because the coach gets fired, and then you 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:04.760 bring another coach and then another offensive coordinator, another system, 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:09.240 and that's where you see quarterbacks really struggle. You know, 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:12.480 Justin Field's going to Chicago. I think people thought, for 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.360 some reason he has a better chance of succeeding because 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:18.680 Chicago is better than Jacksonville and the Jets, and they're not. 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:22.080 But I think that he has a lot of talent. 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:25.680 You know, Tom Brady famously told me if he went 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:28.560 in the first round, he probably wouldn't have lasted in 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.200 the NFL. He went to the right place at the 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.360 right time, got his chance. By the way, Drew Bledsoe, 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:37.280 the former NFL quarterback who got hurt in that game 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:41.040 against the Jets with the hit by Moe Lewis. He's 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.720 talked about this, but Drew is kind enough to join 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:47.120 us a little bit later on. You know, he helped 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:51.119 Brady become Brady. That Drew was a great team player, 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:54.840 and Brady has talked about this, the Drew Bledsoew you're 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:57.560 the future of the Patriots. He gets hurt, this unknown 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:01.040 comes in, wins the Super Bowl, and then Drew ends 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:03.760 up in Buffalo. But Drew will joined us a little 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.280 bit later on. The Saint's head coach Sean Payton a 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.280 little bit later on, Mike Florio was going to join 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:12.120 us in ten minutes, and he's talking about the NFL expanding. 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:16.200 You know what's happening with the former the artist formerly 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:19.400 known as the Saint Louis Rams While the city is 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:26.320 suing the NFL and Stan Crunkie for violating their lease agreement. 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:29.800 And this might turn out. This part of the settlement 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.559 is Saint Louis gets a franchise, Well, then you have 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.679 an odd number and then you have to add another franchise. 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:41.480 And there's talk that the NFL could expand to forty teams. 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.600 So we'll talk to Florio about that coming up here 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:49.160 in twenty minutes. Jannis dropped forty seven as the Lakers 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:53.840 beat the lebron Lakers last night. And you know, he 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.520 caused a stir in Milwaukee the other day. He did 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.120 an interview with GQ. He was their athlete of the Year. 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:04.520 He started talking about her, hinting that he might leave 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:07.360 to find his next challenge, and of course, the first 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:09.440 team that's always brought up is, oh, he'll end up 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:12.680 with the Lakers. Now, Jannis put on a show last 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:15.560 night in front of the Lakers. Hit his free throws 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.640 three or four from three point range. And if you're 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:22.120 a Milwaukee fan old enough to remember, Kareem Abdul Jabbar 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:25.520 left in nineteen seventy five, went to the Lakers. Bucks 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.640 didn't win another title until the Greek Freak last season. 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:32.840 The reality is Los Angeles draws the stars, Kobe shack 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:37.920 Lebron Jannis. He's that kind of player. And do I 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:41.559 love to see a player stay in his whole career 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.240 in one city. Yeah, but those days are long gone. 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:49.000 And just because it happened in the fifties, sixties, seventies, eighties, 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:53.719 nineties doesn't mean it should happen. You know, your lifestyle, 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:57.360 where do you want to live? And you see these 0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:01.680 athletes not as beholden to a city, and even teams 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.439 are not as beholden to these athletes. So whether it's 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:07.600 in Milwaukee, LA or elsewhere, Yannis has several more impactful 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:11.000 chapters left in his storybook career. It was fun to 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.720 watch him last night. And I know I'd like to 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:18.160 compare Anthony Davis with Yannis, and I think Yannis is 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:20.960 on a different level than Anthony Davis. It doesn't mean 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.520 I thought Anthony Davis was the Greek freak before him 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:28.280 as far as his style, his ability, you know, and 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:32.680 he's a notch below the Greek freak. But if if 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:36.400 he could somehow absorb whatever that is that Jannis has 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.240 of I want to be great every single night and 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.440 get better. And you can see that with him, like 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:47.600 he truly wants to get better each game, each moment, 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.880 and he's not afraid of a big moment. And I 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:54.280 would love to see AD and I don't know if 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:58.200 Lebron lets him take the team. If Lebron's smart, which 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:01.400 he is, then he would want AD to take over 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:05.520 be dominant because if he is, there are not many 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:08.280 players in the NBA who can play like that. You know, 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.960 he's got a great handle, he can shoot. He's a 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.400 better shooter than Jannis. He's only a year and a 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.400 half older. But it feels like he's been around and 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.360 we've seen his best. I don't know if we've seen 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:23.480 Yannis's best, because when I watched him last year in 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:26.840 the finals, I thought, if he ever gets that respectable jumper, 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:31.520 then it's all over because you let him take that shot. 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.440 If he starts to hit that and he only needs 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.280 two or three dribbles, one or two dribbles to get 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:40.079 to the hoop, I mean, that's what's scary about him. 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.679 But he wants to be great, and maybe this comes 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:47.080 down to personality. I'm not fair to Anthony Davis because 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:51.240 my expectation level is high. I've seen him be great 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:54.320 but I want him to take over that team, and 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:57.480 I think he's gonna have to this season because Lebron 0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:00.880 may have one more year left where it's I'm Lebron 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:04.320 look out, and then after that then I think you 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:07.640 have to kind of reassess the Lakers, do Lebron's going 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:11.240 to and make sure that you almost empower Anthony Davis 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:15.959 be great every single night. And that's the difference with Superstars, 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:20.120 that guy who every single night had to be great. 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:22.760 I always go back to Alan Iverson. I never got 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:26.520 cheated with Alan Iverson. It was every night he wanted it. 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:30.160 He took it to you. Kobe took it to you 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:34.520 every single night. I mean, that's greatness. That's what you want, 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:38.320 that competitor every single night. And maybe Anthony Davis can't 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:40.600 do that, but I still hold out hope for that 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:45.440 because he has wonderful skills. Yeah, mcclevin, I think he 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:49.559 could argue Anthony Davis's skill sets better equipped for the playoffs. 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:53.200 Until last year, Janis was a playoff detriment. Yeah, I 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:56.160 mean the narratives change, like he's an outside shooter, Anthony Davis, 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:58.120 you could always get that in the playoffs, but you 0:12:58.160 --> 0:12:59.839 can build a wall. Remember you used to be able 0:12:59.880 --> 0:13:02.760 to the wall against Jannis in the playoffs. Yeah, but 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.720 you know, I still look at Anthony Davis and say 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:09.160 stop taking jumpers. You know, the Lakers are complaining to 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:13.000 the league saying, hey, he's not getting to the line. Okay, 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:16.200 you know what happens. Take it to the hoop. You'll 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:19.880 get to the line. Shooting jumpers are not gonna happen. Yeah, 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.520 I'm a club. If you know you've you were way 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:24.719 early on Anthony Davis. I remember that, You're like, oh, 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.719 this is the one ABC. Has he been a bit 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.760 of a disappointment to you from where he started New Orleans? Well, 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:35.360 you could see what was happening, but you weren't watching 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:37.680 those games. You know a lot of times we'll just 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:40.000 see a highlight. If you watch the game, then you 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.360 see a player and you're going, oh wow, okay, this 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.480 is different, or he's added something. And I just remember 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:47.520 coming in one day and it was early in the season, 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:50.600 maybe his second year in the NBA, and I said, 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:54.760 Anthony Davis going to be the next star. But nobody's 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:57.240 watching the games. But if you see what his skill 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:01.440 set is, got a great touch handle Because you know 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:03.800 he had this growth spurt when he was in high school. 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.439 When he got to Kentucky, he was a point guard. 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.240 And he's got you know, the handle, the touch, he's 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:12.320 got everything that you would want. He's got size, length. 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:16.000 But it's that do I want to be great one 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:19.240 of the all times? And it's every single night. You 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:24.840 can't just coast Durant every single night, Dame Lillard every 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:28.440 single night. It's a toll. But that's what happens when 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:32.200 you're the star of a team. Let's pull question. We're 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:35.120 gonna go with. Okay, I think we'll start NFL, but 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:38.440 we are working on this super MBA Tier one, tier 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:41.880 two pole that it's just a cannon worsh it is 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:45.240 a this eye the glass has been debating which player 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:47.640 is good enough to lead their team single handedly to 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.480 a title, and the names are. We need you, We 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:54.720 need your input. All right, Okay, I'll start with Mac JONESO. 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.240 Is Mac Jones really the best rookie quarterback? Or is 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:01.680 he just in the best situation he's physically he's far 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:05.000 and away the best so far. Yeah, if Mac Jones 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:08.320 was in Jacksonville, would we be talking about him? If 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:11.560 he was in New York with the Jets. Would he 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:16.040 is he gonna be the best quarterback out of this 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:19.000 draft seven to ten years? Do we look back and 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:22.400 go in You know, the Patriots weren't interested in any 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:26.840 other quarterback. They were taking Mac Jones that was in. 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:29.200 I don't know what they would have done if San 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:31.680 Francisco took him, because I don't think they would have 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:34.680 taken a quarterback. Yeah, people are trying not to but 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:38.000 I see Tom Brady comparison. But you can make the 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:41.120 comparison of when Tom first got there. I think that's fair. 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:45.560 I think you can do that. It's dangerous to go, hey, 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:49.120 Dan Patrick compares Mac Jones to Tom Brady in their 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:54.320 rookie year or their second year. I mean, we're gonna, 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:57.800 I think, be able to do a fair comparison between 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:01.200 those two because they played for the same coach offensive 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:05.120 coordinator system. And you know, I think you'll be able 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:07.160 to do that. By the way, the Hottest Rookie's, biggest 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:09.880 Superstars all time.

Yes, 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:47.240 my son wats the one with Penn and Teller and 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:51.720 he's been obsessed with learning card tricks. The kid looks 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:54.160 like a blackjack dealer, something like he could shuffle cards 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:57.880 like you wouldn't believe all from the Penn and Teller one. Well, 0:16:58.000 --> 0:16:59.680 who knows what he's gonna do with the rest of 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:01.720 his life with that skill. He did ask for poker 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:05.280 chips and Texas hold him has been mentioned in the House. 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:09.320 Masterclass offers exclusive classes on a wide variety of topics, 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:12.080 all taught by world class masters at the top of 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:15.440 their fields, and you explore at your own pace.

Question all to that forthcoming 0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:58.840 boys on the other side of the glass, got something 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:03.120 cooked up here? Is it football related or basketball related? Mclovin, 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.960 We are debating basketball related. And then we have a 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:11.280 side football thing too, Okay, a side football thing, Yes, 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:13.919 the side football thing. If you're Mel Tucker, would you 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:16.879 take a huge deal in Michigan State? Well, they're offering 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:21.320 him a ten year deal? Okay, But do any of 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:29.280 these contracts really mean what they're they're broadcast advertised to be, Like, 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:31.440 it's a ten year deal. Do you think somebody is 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:34.439 going to stay ten years at Michigan State? But it 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:39.399 sounds splashy ten years, ninety million dollars stay here because 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:42.360 of the LSU rumors. This is what happens with these 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:45.720 coaches have a little bit of success, and it'd be 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:48.920 nice to agree to this contract before you play Ohio 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:53.080 State because you know, if it goes bad against Ohio State, 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:55.679 then you might get the James Franklin treatment. It's like, 0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:59.240 maybe we're not as interested as we thought we were. Yes, 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:01.720 Paulie guy, Like mel Tucker, you look at that contract. 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:03.960 It's all about the buyout in five years if they 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:07.440 have to move on. How the buyout is everything on 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:09.320 these contracts. Yeah, they got to pay them with they 0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:13.600 fire Mike Florio, popular co host or Pro Football Talk Live, 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:17.960 Pro Football Talk dot Com must read every single day, 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:22.959 keepshup on all the things rumors, innuendo, and of course 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:26.320 real news. Mike joins us. Now, Mike, I'm want to 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:30.240 start with a couple of topics that you have written about. 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:33.080 One is expansion. That what's going on in Saint Louis 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:37.080 with this lawsuit with this city against Stan Cronky taking 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:40.360 the Rams to Los Angeles, and that it could lead 0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:46.280 to expansion. Explain to me timeframe the probability that could 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:48.720 happen well. And here's where you have to keep in mind. 0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:52.159 First of all, the lawsuit filed by various entities in 0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:56.920 Saint Louis against the NFL isn't going well for the NFL. 0:19:57.160 --> 0:20:02.400 And Stan Cronky, who agreed in theory to be responsible 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:07.960 for all of the costs and expenses and potential settlement 0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:12.639 or judgment, he's found some language that would maybe allow 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:15.399 him to back away from that full responsibility so the 0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:17.479 league could be on the hook for it. So if 0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:19.960 those planets line up in a way that results in 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:23.640 number one, a huge verdict against the league. Number two, 0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:27.520 stan Cronky's not individually responsible for it. That's when this 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:31.119 idea of maybe dangling an expansion team to settle the 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:33.080 case comes into play. And this is something that was 0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:36.000 raised with me. I wouldn't even looking for anything about it, 0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:38.080 wasn't asking about it. We just kind of mentioned as 0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:40.200 a possibility. This is the way that Roger Goodell could 0:20:40.240 --> 0:20:44.240 solve the problem of Saint Louis by offering an expansion team. 0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:46.600 Now would have to be negotiated, who would be the owner, 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:49.000 what would be the expansion fee, where would they play? 0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:54.159 But Dan, this all comes down to legalized gambling. The 0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:59.040 NFL is going to crave more inventory, more things on 0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:02.480 which people can especially once the technology is in place 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:05.600 to remove any and all lag from what's happening at 0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:08.919 the game site to what's happening on this so you 0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:11.560 can make a bet in the forty seconds between the 0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:13.440 end of one play and the end of the next, 0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:16.240 with nobody being behind what's actually happening at the game. 0:21:16.800 --> 0:21:19.520 The money will explode and they can only get to 0:21:19.560 --> 0:21:22.000 eighteen games. If they can even get to eighteen games. 0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:24.600 After that, the only way you increase inventory is to 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:27.400 increase teams. So I think it's coming. And the quarterback 0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:29.520 play has improved to the point where you could justify 0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:31.720 more than thirty two teams, So it would be Saint 0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:34.840 Louis and somebody else and they bumped to thirty four. 0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:36.720 And is it crazy to think it would happen within 0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:38.679 ten years? I don't think it's crazy to think it 0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:41.680 could happen within ten years. Okay, Saint Louis obviously would 0:21:41.680 --> 0:21:45.240 be in play. Give me the other city. Well, if 0:21:45.280 --> 0:21:49.240 the NFL keeps going, you've got two teams that would 0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:52.119 be potentially in London, whether it's the Jaguars, and an 0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:55.560 expansion team. Sorry, Jacksonville, but your owner has eyes on London, 0:21:55.560 --> 0:21:57.640 and if they're going to put two teams there, he's 0:21:57.640 --> 0:22:00.480 probably going to want to be one of them. Chicago, 0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:03.320 they get that new stadium that they're talking about at 0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:07.440 Arlington Heights, Bells and Whistles, third largest market in the league, 0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:10.000 and you know, if you're going to build one of 0:22:10.000 --> 0:22:11.840 these stadiums, the more games you play in it, the 0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:14.199 more quickly you make your money back. So I've been 0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:16.200 talking for a long time about the possibility of a 0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:19.040 second team in Chicago, the other dynamic two Dan because 0:22:19.080 --> 0:22:21.040 I think forty is where they're going to end up 0:22:21.080 --> 0:22:24.560 at some point, not anytime soon, but eventually they're gonna 0:22:24.560 --> 0:22:28.280 get to forty. There's talk at the highest levels of 0:22:28.320 --> 0:22:31.399 the league about the wisdom of building smaller stadiums because 0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:33.879 for that upper deck general admission, they don't make a 0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:35.800 whole lot of money off of that, and sometimes it's 0:22:35.840 --> 0:22:38.600 more trouble than it's worth. Smaller stadium means you can 0:22:38.640 --> 0:22:40.840 put teams in markets that we otherwise aren't thinking about 0:22:41.119 --> 0:22:43.640 because it doesn't matter where the games are played. What 0:22:43.680 --> 0:22:46.080 matters is the games are being played and anywhere you're 0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:48.120 sitting on a couch or in a bar, or wherever 0:22:48.240 --> 0:22:50.480 you can bet on what's happening in those games. Doesn't 0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:52.960 matter what city it is. We wouldn't have thought of 0:22:53.080 --> 0:22:55.600 Jacksonville as an NFL city, frankly, and I'm sorry to 0:22:55.640 --> 0:22:57.880 pile on Jacksonville, but it's like the number forty four 0:22:58.200 --> 0:23:01.800
