Speaker 1: around the country number three hundred and sixty two, including
Speaker 1: that very powerful Fox Sports Radio lineup coming up. Pat
Speaker 1: forty from Sports Illustrated with an update here on what's
Speaker 1: going to happen in the PAC twelve. And you have
Speaker 1: some other conferences are revisiting playing football, The Mountain West
Speaker 1: is pushing for a fall football schedule, and the PAC
Speaker 1: twelve is on the clock right now. And you had
Speaker 1: the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, who said, look, nobody's
Speaker 1: holding up big the PAC twelve. There's no rules with
Speaker 1: you not being able to play football here. So we
Speaker 1: reached out to the commissioner, Larry Scott. We'll see if
Speaker 1: he can fit us in to his schedule today and
Speaker 1: talk to him about the possibility of the Pac twelve
Speaker 1: playing football. But the Big Ten is back, and it's
Speaker 1: been a wild month for the conference. But yesterday they
Speaker 1: announced the football season will begin the weekend of October
Speaker 1: twenty third, twenty fourth. And in a way, the Big
Speaker 1: Ten's journey reflects some of the things that have been
Speaker 1: going on all around the country. The powers that being
Speaker 1: had to weigh safety versus revenue and figure out how
Speaker 1: to do it the whole time while balancing a number
Speaker 1: of different agendas here and there were quite a few
Speaker 1: agendas here, the Big Ten schools all over the country,
Speaker 1: in states with different situations and different politics. I know
Speaker 1: that it came out that this was a unanimous vote
Speaker 1: all the presidents and the Big Ten wanted to play.
Speaker 1: That is not the case. I'm being told that that
Speaker 1: was not the case now, not that it matters, But
Speaker 1: for Rutgers, Northwestern, maybe one or two other schools, they're
Speaker 1: kind of going kick and screaming here, but they are
Speaker 1: trying to make this work. They're going to play nine
Speaker 1: consecutive weeks and if it does work, maybe you see
Speaker 1: Ohio State, maybe Wisconsin, maybe Penn stayed in the final four. Heck,
Speaker 1: maybe it's Michigan's year. But we all have to re
Speaker 1: educate ourselves on these teams to see who's going to
Speaker 1: be good, who's going to be great, who opted out?
Speaker 1: If it all works, we get to find out really soon.
Speaker 1: But the Big Ten is back now. I go back
Speaker 1: to August when the commissioner of the Big Ten, Kevin Warren,
Speaker 1: was lecturing us on they're not going to revisit this
Speaker 1: after they decided that they were not playing football in
Speaker 1: the Big Ten. In fact, let me give you the
Speaker 1: exact quote that he had August nineteenth letter published in
Speaker 1: the Big Ten's website. The Commissioner of the Big Ten
Speaker 1: said the vote to postpone fall sports would not be revisited,
Speaker 1: and it was another instance in which the Big Ten
Speaker 1: backed itself into a corner. And then August six, the
Speaker 1: conference released its revise ten games schedule and it was
Speaker 1: supposed to happen on September fifth. So where we are now,
Speaker 1: I think they're just holding their breath. But from what
Speaker 1: I was told, this is a seven hundred million dollars
Speaker 1: decision on behalf of the Big Ten. The commissioner is
Speaker 1: going to tell you. It's all about the kids. This
Speaker 1: is about seven hundred million dollars. Here is the commissioner
Speaker 1: talking about the kids. This really is a special day
Speaker 1: for the Big Ten Conference. This is all about our
Speaker 1: student athletes. And the only focus and goal that we've
Speaker 1: had over the last forty days was to safely allow
Speaker 1: our student athletes to return to competition so they can
Speaker 1: fulfill their dreams. Okay, all about the kids. They're not
Speaker 1: student athletes, Commissioner, they're athletes. What they're going through, what
Speaker 1: they're going to go through, they're athletes here. But the
Speaker 1: Big Ten commissioner, who we've reached out to try to
Speaker 1: get on the show for I don't know, two months now,
Speaker 1: maybe longer. Maybe he'll join us at some point so
Speaker 1: we can talk about what did change. Is it rapid testing?
Speaker 1: Because that seems to be sort of the catchphrase here. Hey,
Speaker 1: rapid testing. That's the reason why we're coming back. Okay,
Speaker 1: if that's what changed and that's gonna help us have
Speaker 1: a football season, great, But I'm a little skeptical that
Speaker 1: it's just rapid testing here. I think the pressure from
Speaker 1: inside was enormous and you had other people, you had
Speaker 1: parents of players, you had players, marquee players, you had ads,
Speaker 1: you had coaches, and everybody's looking around going they're playing
Speaker 1: high school football in some of these states. You have
Speaker 1: the SEC ACC Big twelve playing why aren't we playing?
Speaker 1: And I think they ran out of good answers there.
Speaker 1: And now the PAC twelve, I truly believe in the
Speaker 1: next two days, by Friday afternoon, maybe Friday night, we're
Speaker 1: going to find out and the PAC twelve pull this off.
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to find this out. I'll let you
Speaker 1: in on whatever I'm privy too when it comes to
Speaker 1: the PAC twelve. But if the Mountain West is playing
Speaker 1: and everybody else, it feels I don't know if the
Speaker 1: Mid American Conference can pull this off because I was told,
Speaker 1: keep in mind the amount of money that you're going
Speaker 1: to spend. Not everybody has that amount of money, not
Speaker 1: that kind of revenue in their athletic departments. But the
Speaker 1: Big ten, PAC twelve, ACC, SEC Big twelve, they have
Speaker 1: that money, and the Mid American Conference and some of
Speaker 1: these other conferences don't. Mountain West, I don't know how
Speaker 1: they'll pull it off. But hey, look, I applaud that
Speaker 1: you're at least trying. That's all I ask for when
Speaker 1: it came to the Big ten and Pac twelve, but
Speaker 1: it felt like they just basically closed up shop and
Speaker 1: it didn't feel like that they were going to give
Speaker 1: it any kind of great effort there. That was my
Speaker 1: only disappointment in all of this. But Big ten is back.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's going to look like. They're
Speaker 1: players who opted out. Don't know if they're allowed to
Speaker 1: come back, but I'll leave that to the powers that be.
Speaker 1: This program brought to you by legal Zoom. Visit legal
Speaker 1: zoom dot com today to take care of the things
Speaker 1: you need to get done without having to leave your home.
Speaker 1: That's legal zoom dot com. Football coming up tonight. The
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns are six point favorites against the Bengals. The
Speaker 1: headline tomorrow if the Browns don't win, is going to
Speaker 1: be the lead headline. It'll be a big, big headline.
Speaker 1: That's National TV. You got your in state rival, You
Speaker 1: got the number one pick, Joe Burrow going against Baker Mayfield,
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham. How many touches does he get tonight if
Speaker 1: they go oh and two? And I know that we
Speaker 1: overrated the Browns last year. I didn't this year. I
Speaker 1: might be overrating them. You got a new head coach
Speaker 1: in Kevin Stefanski, and you still have some chemistry issues
Speaker 1: that between Baker Mayfield to Nodell Beckham Junior. Trying to
Speaker 1: get them on the same page. Odell says, get me
Speaker 1: involved early. I said that yesterday just to bubble screen something,
Speaker 1: just to keep him happy. And I don't. It feels
Speaker 1: like they're going to have bigger problems than just Baker
Speaker 1: Mayfield getting the ball to Odell Beckham. I would be
Speaker 1: a run first team. I'd run first, I'd run second,
Speaker 1: and I might run third. Two Because you brought in Conklin,
Speaker 1: You've got two really good running backs here. These are
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl running backs that you have there, and I
Speaker 1: would be utilizing them. I don't need to have, you know.
Speaker 1: I'd almost look at Baker Mayfield the way Seattle uses
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, and that is let's be a running team
Speaker 1: and then when we need something, then maybe we go
Speaker 1: to a passing offense. Here we have the weapons, trust me,
Speaker 1: those receivers will be a whole lot more wide open
Speaker 1: if you establish the run, and that might help Baker
Speaker 1: may Field here. It's only one game. I know, we
Speaker 1: love to have a referendum. We go, Oh, the Browns
Speaker 1: are terrible, the Jets are terrible, the Eagles are going
Speaker 1: to be terrible. Oh, Jacksonville is going to be better
Speaker 1: than what we think. Oh, Washington's gonna be better than
Speaker 1: what we think. Are the Colts any good? That was
Speaker 1: our react. Aaron Rodgers could be MVP. Tom Brady. I
Speaker 1: knew it wasn't going to go well. Oh, when does
Speaker 1: the Miami go to Tua Dallas? I don't know. Do
Speaker 1: you extend Dak Prescott? These are all the things that
Speaker 1: we storylines that we had from week one. But if
Speaker 1: the Browns don't win tonight, it's not a must win,
Speaker 1: but it's getting close there for that team. It just
Speaker 1: feels like there's some fragility there. And I don't know
Speaker 1: who their leader is. I think that's the big question.
Speaker 1: I don't know who their leader is. Is Baker Mayfield respected?
Speaker 1: Are these other is Odell Beckham listening to him? Jarvis Landry?
Speaker 1: I mean you got talent there, got a lot of talent. Yes, mclovin.
Speaker 1: I agree with what Seaton said before the show. We
Speaker 1: are bearing the Browns way too soon. They went against
Speaker 1: a team on fire. The Ravens were running around like
Speaker 1: the twenty fourteen Seahawks at Week one, it was in Baltimore,
Speaker 1: and now they host on a short week the worst
Speaker 1: team in football from last year. You're either going to
Speaker 1: be completely right or completely wrong tomorrow, mclovin, because if
Speaker 1: if the Browns don't win tonight, then what they did
Speaker 1: against Baltimore was meaningless. Right, But we could say if
Speaker 1: the Bucks get blown out, we could say Tom Brady stinks.
Speaker 1: But that's a hypothetical headline that you know, this is
Speaker 1: hypothetical that the Browns are gonna Yeah, and I said,
Speaker 1: let's judge them. That's why when hey, are they gonna
Speaker 1: trade O'Dell Beckham? I go, how about we waited a
Speaker 1: couple of games here? How about we showcase Odell Beckham.
Speaker 1: Let's see what you have there with this new offense,
Speaker 1: new coach. I can't blame this on you know, fred o'
Speaker 1: kitchens here. Yeah, Seaton, but when was the last time
Speaker 1: that the like a Browns Bengals game was just so delicious?
Speaker 1: It's been a it's been a long time now. Growing
Speaker 1: up in Ohio, it was always a big game, even
Speaker 1: though the teams weren't very good. But now is this
Speaker 1: has national significance year, this as national cities. Yes it is,
Speaker 1: yes my club. Yeah. By the way, though Johnny Man's
Speaker 1: l made his debut gets the Bengals. We were all
Speaker 1: excited about the Browns, but I have bad news for
Speaker 1: you about your Ravens pick though why they're the most popular. Oh,
Speaker 1: the Ravens are gonna win the Super Bowl. I didn't
Speaker 1: pick him preseason, but I'm picking him after a week one.
Speaker 1: Now everybody picks them after a week one. You can't
Speaker 1: change your super Bowl pick after one week. As you said,
Speaker 1: everyone overreacts everybody. I've heard so much Ravens hype this week.
Speaker 1: I didn't hear it the week before, except I heard
Speaker 1: a little. But I thought that they were a better
Speaker 1: team than Kansas City last year, and Kansas City had
Speaker 1: moments where they weren't going to advance in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: We had Patrick Mahomes, we thought his knee was dislocated
Speaker 1: and probably out for the season, but they stepped up
Speaker 1: when they needed to and Baltimore did not. So the
Speaker 1: question is going to be with Baltimore pretty much the
Speaker 1: way it is with the Dodgers. Got to win. You
Speaker 1: can be great during the regular season. Dodgers clinched last night,
Speaker 1: But the Ravens are going to have to produce in
Speaker 1: the postseason. Yeah. Point. I think going into last year's playoffs,
Speaker 1: the Ravens were favored at Vegas wise ahead of the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs were twelve and four and the
Speaker 1: Ravens were fourteen and two. Yeah, it's nothing about the
Speaker 1: regular season. Everyone loves the Ravens, you know, it's just
Speaker 1: you gotta you know, that's what I'm waiting for. Got
Speaker 1: people jumping on the Steelers bandwagon. By the way, remember
Speaker 1: when I said that's the one team I'm the most
Speaker 1: fascinated with going into the regular season was Pittsburgh and
Speaker 1: your guys jaws drop, You're like Pittsburgh And I'm like yeah,
Speaker 1: Because Ben is fascinating to me. Is he If Ben
Speaker 1: can play at a high level, then that team is
Speaker 1: going to be a playoff team and a dangerous team.
Speaker 1: That defense is really good. And Ben said he felt
Speaker 1: like he had been in a train wreck or a
Speaker 1: car wreck. I think after Game one, no surprise there
Speaker 1: that Ben let us in on all the pain that
Speaker 1: he Robinsburger talking about his injuries. I'm good, I'm good.
Speaker 1: I never felt better. He talks about his pain more
Speaker 1: than I have, and that's saying a lot. Hey, let
Speaker 1: me tell you about my condition here. Yeah, Paul, you
Speaker 1: know how you runningto people in the hallway and you
Speaker 1: do the self the little platitude. Hey, how you doing?
Speaker 1: When you do it? To Ben? He goes and the
Speaker 1: elbows really acting up, and pledge asked back, is thanks
Speaker 1: for asking? Let me show you this X ray right here,
Speaker 1: because it's not working out and nobody really wants to hear.
Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? When you say, hey, how you doing?
Speaker 1: You're just all you. You're just going okay, like I'm
Speaker 1: already walking by you. You know, you don't want to say.
Speaker 1: You know, I got a I got a couple hours
Speaker 1: to live, all right, I'll see you later. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go get some lunch here. Yes time, the kid said, well, actually,
Speaker 1: I got this fatty liver and I gotta go back.
Speaker 1: I gotta take this medication. They don't want know one
Speaker 1: wants all right, McLevin, what kind of poll? Questioned yet? Byway,
Speaker 1: I just hey, you're right. The Steelers hype is out
Speaker 1: of control. They shut down the Giants and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, the steel curtain is back? What is going on?
Speaker 1: All I saw were Tiki Barber, former Giants running back,
Speaker 1: borderline Hall of Famer. He said, maybe sae Quon Barkley
Speaker 1: is not what we thought he was. They can't pass block,
Speaker 1: all right? Who do we bury too soon? The Browns,
Speaker 1: the Jets, who are beyond buried, the Cults, or the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. And I didn't put the Cowboys or the
Speaker 1: forty nine ers on there because nah, they had they
Speaker 1: played tough teams. We're bearing the Colts too soon. If
Speaker 1: somebody is bearing the colds, I think people are well,
Speaker 1: they shouldn't. The Eagles, I don't know what's going to
Speaker 1: happen with that that It just it feels like it's
Speaker 1: going to be win two, lose two. You know, win three,
Speaker 1: lose two, and I don't know, it just feels like
Speaker 1: they're going to be It's a it's a tug of
Speaker 1: war with winning and losing in Philadelphia. The Jets are
Speaker 1: not They're not good, but they're gonna win enough to
Speaker 1: ruin their draft pick. And the Browns I have them
Speaker 1: as a playoff two, so I'm not going to bury them.
Speaker 1: But if they lose to the Bengals. You know, I
Speaker 1: root for a story. I usually don't root for a
Speaker 1: player or a team. When I started doing this full
Speaker 1: time at ESPN, I said I would not openly root
Speaker 1: for a team, whether it was the Cincinnati Reds in
Speaker 1: the World Series against the Oakland A's, And as much
Speaker 1: as I wanted them to win, I have to have
Speaker 1: I have to be unbiased here and a Bengal fan
Speaker 1: or Ohio State football, Notre Dame football. I root for stories,
Speaker 1: and Cleveland losing tonight would be a good story. I'm
Speaker 1: just trying to get through three hours of a radio show, folks,
Speaker 1: just so you know, yeah, right, Like it would be
Speaker 1: a lot of fun for the show tomorrow if they lose.
Speaker 1: But for some reason, I want the Browns to be good.
Speaker 1: I think it'd be a lot more fun if they're
Speaker 1: if they are a playoff team. Yeah, I'm wondering about that.
Speaker 1: Do you want the Browns to be good or bad?
Speaker 1: Because they gotta be either really good or really bad?
Speaker 1: Did you have too many personalities on that team and
Speaker 1: like way too much star power and just interesting people
Speaker 1: for them to stink? You know, I gotta I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: is it fun to be like, oh, look at Baker
Speaker 1: Mayfield's commercials running during the playoffs. That's awkward. Are we
Speaker 1: already did that? You know? And it's I would have
Speaker 1: told that much fun. I would have told Baker, let's
Speaker 1: ease up on the commercials this season. And then first
Speaker 1: weekend there's a Hulu commercial there, and it's on so
Speaker 1: often I go, no, no, you just gotta back away
Speaker 1: from the buffet. Yes, for Tea, I think it'd be
Speaker 1: fun to see Mayfield and the Browns improve. But for tonight,
Speaker 1: after kind of getting screwed out of a chance to
Speaker 1: have an overtime victory with that last second missed field
Speaker 1: goal by the Bengals, it would be nice to see
Speaker 1: Joe burrowin one tonight, not getting that opportunity a week one.
Speaker 1: So you want both, Todd, No, there's still fourteen other
Speaker 1: games though after week Unless we believe the stats, if
Speaker 1: you're owing two, you have almost no chance of making
Speaker 1: the playoffs. What are you rooting for tonight? I would
Speaker 1: like to see Joe Burrow because I was hoping he
Speaker 1: would have gotten a chance to pull it out in overtime.
Speaker 1: Since he didn't tonight, I would like to see the
Speaker 1: Bengals win. But after that, I'd like to see Cleveland
Speaker 1: improved fourteen games Cleveland ago fourteen and two. No, because
Speaker 1: then Dendro would have you even less of a chance
Speaker 1: if you even getting into a wild coda playoffs. Nobody
Speaker 1: cares for me. Yes, for me personally, I don't want
Speaker 1: the Browns would be too good. Thank you to so Bengals.
Speaker 1: Browns Tonight Heat Celtics. That'll be game two. Pat forty
Speaker 1: will join us. Basically, I want the Breaths to be
Speaker 1: great but not too good, and I want them to
Speaker 1: lose this game tonight. Yeah I got clears it up. No,
Speaker 1: I got you, So they should lose and be great,
Speaker 1: but not that I got you. I got you. You
Speaker 1: got a rally today because the last couple of days
Speaker 1: have been a little, a little bit, just a little bit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought he crushed it. Du no, no no, no, the
Speaker 1: bit yesterday, the money, the football coming kind of crushed.
Speaker 1: I go ahead time. There's some mixed reviews though on
Speaker 1: social media. Really I got There was a couple that
Speaker 1: said hilarious radio gold and another that's why I don't
Speaker 1: listen to this show. Wait, it's not funny. He'll never
Speaker 1: be funny. No one cares about how we've got a
Speaker 1: singing voice or what sports themes that can do. Wow,
Speaker 1: that you get some of that. I think it was
Speaker 1: primarily positive, but I don't look at the positive Once.
Speaker 1: Of course, I missed a sensiti. I'm like, what do
Speaker 1: you mean? You'll never listen to the show? Before I
Speaker 1: opened my mouth, so you're the reason why he doesn't
Speaker 1: listen to the show. There was at least i'd say
Speaker 1: at least two, probably more, but then I just stopped
Speaker 1: because I got upset. It's like, shut here's mic off.
Speaker 1: No one wants to hear from him. Was ruining your show?
Speaker 1: Why don't you? No, no, no, I ruined the show.
Speaker 1: You didn't. Will you ruin the show by putting us
Speaker 1: on it? Well, okay, but I did ruin it. That
Speaker 1: decision was made decade ago. I blame myself there. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have to lower if you're watching on Peacock, I've
Speaker 1: got to bring down the cone of silence. There. I
Speaker 1: got ones that said he's hilarious. More front of him.
Speaker 1: That's it. We should do a like Todd Fritz football podcast,
Speaker 1: and it would be all just going game by game
Speaker 1: and all of how Todd wants both teams to win endless.
Speaker 1: I would listen to that. Oh no, I wouldn't. I
Speaker 1: would not, Todd? Could you give us some Monday night

Speaker 1: what it's going to be, probably plus five six, maybe
Speaker 1: plus seven wins the US Open. They're going to actually
Speaker 1: have to make that course a little little friendlier because
Speaker 1: there's probably gonna be a lot of complaints going on

Speaker 1: basketball heat Celtics Game two. Big ten is back Mountain
Speaker 1: West pushing for a fall schedule. Maybe the PAC twelve
Speaker 1: is coming back as well. This guy would have all
Speaker 1: the answers. Pat forty from Sports Illustrated senior writer, Pat,
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. Let me start with the Big Ten.
Speaker 1: What changed in the last month three weeks? Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I think it was a combination of things, Dan. I mean,
Speaker 1: you start with the tangible advances in rapid testing and
Speaker 1: everything that that could do for you, and I think
Speaker 1: that really quite ironically, the PAC twelve Commissioner Larry Scott,
Speaker 1: when he announced that the PAC twelve had an agreement
Speaker 1: with Quinnell for rapid daily testing. All of a sudden,
Speaker 1: the Big Ten's like, hey, we'll go get that and
Speaker 1: we'll do it faster. And I think that was the
Speaker 1: big thing. But there's no doubt that watching everyone else
Speaker 1: play football and hearing the outcry that was associated with that,
Speaker 1: watching the NFL, watching other college teams, watching high school
Speaker 1: teams play and everybody's saying why are we playing that?
Speaker 1: I think that just kind of wore down the resistances
Speaker 1: of the Big Ten presidents. What could go wrong here? Yeah,
Speaker 1: well plenty. You know, For one thing, there is a
Speaker 1: gap between when rapid daily testing is supposed to start
Speaker 1: and when practice is ramping up at least two weeks here,
Speaker 1: so you may see a higher degree of positives there. However,
Speaker 1: they're not starting games until October twenty third, twenty fourth,
Speaker 1: so there is a gap. There are a bit of
Speaker 1: a cushion there where those people, if you do have spikes,
Speaker 1: could be okay by the time they start kickoff. But
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, just in general, I think you're
Speaker 1: gonna be looking at a campus camp a little bit
Speaker 1: of campus unrest in some of these places where are like, hey,
Speaker 1: we're going to these incredible efforts for the football players.
Speaker 1: What about the regular students? What are we doing for
Speaker 1: them in terms of testing and safety for them? I
Speaker 1: know it was announced that it was a unanimous vote.
Speaker 1: I would I would love to get the backstory. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to get the backstory of how much arm twisting
Speaker 1: went on. Because I was told Rutgers and Northwestern were
Speaker 1: not they went kicking and screaming. And I'm sure there's
Speaker 1: probably a couple other schools here. Yeah. I don't think
Speaker 1: there's any question that there were probably at least three, four,
Speaker 1: maybe even five schools that were not on board. Rutgers
Speaker 1: the most obvious. I mean, the president came out all
Speaker 1: of a week earlier and said, basically, what are we
Speaker 1: doing here? Northwestern? They're president deserves an Academy award if
Speaker 1: he was not on board, because what he had to
Speaker 1: say on the on the conference call yesterday it was
Speaker 1: basically that, yes, I'm okay with all of this. In
Speaker 1: the background, he's probably rolling his eyes significantly. Well, now,
Speaker 1: what's this mean for the Pac twelve? They're on the clock,
Speaker 1: sure are. And it's amazing though, boy, I mean, like
Speaker 1: once in Domino Falls everybody else starts getting in position
Speaker 1: to make the next domino fall. Pack twelve presidents meeting
Speaker 1: on Friday, I think to see if they can get
Speaker 1: a consensus to go ahead and move forward with formalized practices,
Speaker 1: getting the politicians in California and in Oregon, the states
Speaker 1: that have been the most restricted, to lift some of
Speaker 1: the restrictions and allow eleven on eleven practices. Yet that
Speaker 1: came yesterday. That was big, and so now you try
Speaker 1: to get the whole league on board. And you know,
Speaker 1: the last I heard, they're trying to shoot for a
Speaker 1: Halloween kickoff and see how many games they can get in.
Speaker 1: And you got the Mountain West, Like, what are the
Speaker 1: odds that the Mountain West comes back, but the Pac
Speaker 1: twelve does not come back. I don't think that'll happen.
Speaker 1: And I think that those two will probably both do
Speaker 1: the same thing. A lot of schools in the same
Speaker 1: states there. The California schools are up against it as
Speaker 1: well in the Mountain West. And you know one other
Speaker 1: factor here, those wildfires have made life very difficult out there.
Speaker 1: You know, I've got a daughters swimming at stand for
Speaker 1: them and been able to get in the pool for
Speaker 1: a week because the air quality, you're not gonna be
Speaker 1: able to practice football for while the air qualities like
Speaker 1: that either. So there's a lot of other considerations that
Speaker 1: still have to go into this. What did you make
Speaker 1: of ed Orgeron LSU head coach saying basically all my
Speaker 1: players have tested positive. Yeah, that was Coachoe being perhaps
Speaker 1: more forthrighte and less intelligent than he should be on
Speaker 1: both instances. I mean, I don't think there's any doubt
Speaker 1: that they are coaches out there that have that mentality
Speaker 1: of like, let's just get our own little hurt immunity
Speaker 1: and go for it. But from a public health standpoint,
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're like the public health officials in
Speaker 1: Baton Rouge, you got to be just banging your head
Speaker 1: against the wall saying, what is this guy doing. As
Speaker 1: far as on the field, here is Clemson by far
Speaker 1: and away the team to watch out for. So we've
Speaker 1: seen play so far? Yeah, I think so. I was
Speaker 1: at Notre Dame's game against Duke, and I mean they
Speaker 1: were okay, it was first game again. Yeah, it's gonna
Speaker 1: take a while to really figure out who's got what
Speaker 1: because it's been such a ridiculous offseason but on paper,
Speaker 1: and I think from what they showed for three quarters
Speaker 1: on Saturday, Clemson definitely as the team. Now we'll see
Speaker 1: starting October twenty third, twenty fourth, what Ohio State looks like.
Speaker 1: Before that, on September twenty six, we'll start seeing what
Speaker 1: Alabama looks like, Georgia looks like. But Clemson right now, yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: And I'm also wondering about this if you're playing less games,
Speaker 1: and I was told by a source that Ohio State
Speaker 1: is hoping to pass the site test, that the voters
Speaker 1: are going to look and go, you know, they didn't
Speaker 1: play as many games, but they look like they're a
Speaker 1: Final four team. I think I think that's the hope
Speaker 1: for the Big Ten, that Ohio State if they're the
Speaker 1: ones that get in. Absolutely, this is going to be
Speaker 1: the most subjective College Football Playoff Committee rankings ever, because
Speaker 1: you're gonna have exactly that You're gonna have people's I mean,
Speaker 1: think about this, when the when Ohio State finally kicks off,
Speaker 1: Alabama will have played like four or five games, Clemson
Speaker 1: will have played like seven six, I mean they see,
Speaker 1: You're gonna be tanged to look at those teams and
Speaker 1: saying compare this team over here and to decide who
Speaker 1: should be ahead of whom it's it's going to be
Speaker 1: the most controversial, the most messy, and the most subjective
Speaker 1: playoff rankings. Ever, give me the team that could crash
Speaker 1: the party. Well, you know, I like Oklahoma State from
Speaker 1: that standpoint. You know, they have a ton of talent.
Speaker 1: Mike Gunny who was completely off as rocker in the
Speaker 1: off season, but if he hasn't lost his locker room.
Speaker 1: They've got the number one returning rusher in the country,
Speaker 1: Cuba Hubbard, a two thousand yard guy. They've got a
Speaker 1: great receiver, Tyland Wallace who missed most of the last
Speaker 1: year with the knee injury. They've got a returning quarterback
Speaker 1: of experience, and they've got ten starters back on defense.
Speaker 1: I think they could challenge Oklahoma and if they, you know,
Speaker 1: the winner of the Big twelve figures to probably get
Speaker 1: a spot, depending what happens in these other leagues. I
Speaker 1: don't know how many times you saw Lamar Jackson play.
Speaker 1: You're in Louisville, but you know there were concerns with
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater and then were concerns with Lamar Jackson. How
Speaker 1: surprised are you with Lamar Jackson's success. Yes, and no.
Speaker 1: I mean I look, I mean you want to talk
Speaker 1: about intangibles. That guy a leader, a team first guy, fearless, tough, dedicated.
Speaker 1: He had all of those the end. Then you had
Speaker 1: the athleticism. It's just, you know, outrageous. I mean, that
Speaker 1: level of athlete that even in the NFL is rare.
Speaker 1: I was not sure he had necessarily command of the
Speaker 1: offense pocket passing, but he's shown that excellently so far.
Speaker 1: So I'm really happy for him to see it because
Speaker 1: this is a great guy and a great team leader,
Speaker 1: so what he's doing has been outstanding. Yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: great story as well. Are you off to any place
Speaker 1: this weekend? I'm not. The schedules lousy, so I will
Speaker 1: be watching from home and monitoring all developments. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: thank you, Pat, It's always great stuff throughout this whole
Speaker 1: process there, Thanks for joining us. Thank you Dan. That's
Speaker 1: Pad forty by the way, turn six yesterday. Happy birthday, Pat,
Speaker 1: Happy birthday. Yeah, happy birthday. All right. We'll come up
Speaker 1: with a pull question here, mcleven. What are you going
Speaker 1: to settle on? Okay, if you don't want to do
Speaker 1: the who did we very too soon. How about this
Speaker 1: New York related question? And it sounds like you don't
Speaker 1: want to do all New York football beause New York
Speaker 1: football is terrible. But you could trade for one of
Speaker 1: these two New York related players, sa Quon Barkley or
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junr. Who would you want? I would like
Speaker 1: to see se Quon Barkley behind a decent offensive line.
Speaker 1: And you know what, I was all in on sa
Speaker 1: Quon Barkley going to the Giants because I thought he
Speaker 1: might be the missing ingredient for that team. They built
Speaker 1: up their defense and you had Eli and I thought
Speaker 1: that they were going to be able to use him
Speaker 1: out of the backfield as well. And I thought that
Speaker 1: they were going to be a Super Bowl contender. And
Speaker 1: obviously that defense was horrible, and sat Quan's first year
Speaker 1: he was great. But I would I don't want Odell
Speaker 1: Beckham Junior. I just you know that's that's too much
Speaker 1: of a question mark there, So I would take Sequon Barkley.
Speaker 1: What else? Mcclem would you put Levy on Bella even
Speaker 1: on that? No, No, I don't want to Levy on
Speaker 1: Bill okay golf question? Would you be okay with the
Speaker 1: winner of the US Open being over par I'm expecting it.
Speaker 1: I'm expecting it by a considerable amount of being over
Speaker 1: par so, and everybody else should get ready for that
Speaker 1: as well, because it's probably not going to be pretty.
Speaker 1: I don't like to watch golfers struggle. I like them
Speaker 1: to have shots and be rewarded for great shots because
Speaker 1: I can go out and watch my friends struggle. But
Speaker 1: when I'm watching great players on a great golf course,
Speaker 1: I like to see the risk in the reward. But
Speaker 1: I don't want to see somebody penalized. Where you hit
Speaker 1: a shot and you go, that's going to roll off
Speaker 1: the green, and that that happens at Pinehurst number two,
Speaker 1: that'll happen at Wing There's certain court oak Month. I
Speaker 1: played Oakmont. I mean I think I'd rather sat down
Speaker 1: and had lunch with my mother in law than to
Speaker 1: play Oakmont. Oh yeah, yes, see what'd you say before,
Speaker 1: Like you don't want to see them putting a torture chamber? Yes,
Speaker 1: I mean that's you don't make you cry because you're
Speaker 1: going you gotta be kidding me. First, Green Wingfoot, I
Speaker 1: hit a great shot and it rolled off the green,
Speaker 1: like I'm going how close am I? And my Cadig goes,
Speaker 1: you're off the green? I go what no, no, No,
Speaker 1: I'm no, I'm the one on the green. Nope, rolled
Speaker 1: right off. That is a slug fest on that golf course.
Speaker 1: It's one of those that looks so disarming because it's
Speaker 1: so beautiful, but when you get out there. And the
Speaker 1: first time I went there was when Fuzzy Zeller and
Speaker 1: Greg Norman had their showdown and then there one day playoff.
Speaker 1: That was the first time I went there and got
Speaker 1: a chance to play it. I'm not anxious to play
Speaker 1: it again anytime soon. And I haven't played it in
Speaker 1: probably fifteen years. It's going to take a little while
Speaker 1: for me to go back. We didn't have a good relationship.
Speaker 1: It's one of those blind dates where you go, I
Speaker 1: don't think this went well. Yes, point, but do you
Speaker 1: think courses like Oak matt and Wingfoot, the greenskeepers and
Speaker 1: the pro say, you know what, We're gonna make a
Speaker 1: name for ourselves. We get the Open every decade and
Speaker 1: we're going to be talked about for a long time
Speaker 1: and people will always remember our course or being so hard.
Speaker 1: We'll take some criticism, but we'll be legendary, and people
Speaker 1: will come here wanting to join, wanting to play. We'll
Speaker 1: make our name for ourselves in four days, I think.
Speaker 1: I think that's what they think. Well that's right or wrong. Well,
Speaker 1: the US Open is always difficult. It doesn't matter where
Speaker 1: it is. They make it difficult. And I understand that.
Speaker 1: You know, you don't want it to be nineteen under.
Speaker 1: But if I'm a golfer and I see the pros struggling,
Speaker 1: I don't go can't wait to go play there. That's
Speaker 1: why pebble is so great. You can have a bad round,
Speaker 1: but you can't have a bad day because it's just beautiful.
Speaker 1: Each of the last twenty one US Open champions were
Speaker 1: within six shot to the lead after the opening round,
Speaker 1: So just something to keep in mind. But wingfoot and
Speaker 1: you know it's going to be difficult. Only one major
Speaker 1: championship venue has played tougher since two thousand and that's
Speaker 1: Oakmont in two thousand and seven, So it's it'll be
Speaker 1: a difficult. You know, It's just survival, that's all it is,
Speaker 1: survival of the fittest. All right, we'll take a break.
Speaker 1: Phone calls are welcome. Eight seven seven three d P
Speaker 1: show email address DP at dan Patrick dot com twitterhead
Speaker 1: of a DP show, a former Super Bowl winning quarterback,

Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers drafted Jordan Love. We'll have that for

Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? I just wanted to answer
Speaker 1: Paul's question. Hey, Paul Alter, neighbor, Rob. The USGA actually
Speaker 1: has a group of agronomists who work with the superintendents
Speaker 1: leading up to the events. By work in the industry,
Speaker 1: and I've actually sat in on seminars on tournament prep
Speaker 1: for very large events in the Northeast. Stand Basically, it's
Speaker 1: the USGA who tells the superintendent what to do, and
Speaker 1: it's based on the course conditions, what the course is
Speaker 1: known for. They try to accentuate it. But I can
Speaker 1: say that the USGA tends to punish the players far
Speaker 1: more than PGA tour events, where they're little less about
Speaker 1: beating up on the guys playing the game. Well thank you, Rob, Yes, boy, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's my neighbor Rob. He's a groundskeeping guy. He supplies groundskeepers.
Speaker 1: Also great beer guy, brings a lot of beer to bone.
Speaker 1: Well that's good. Maybe Rob can jonas here in the
Speaker 1: man Cavelin. We have safer condition. It brings good beer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's um. They make it tough and for a reason,
Speaker 1: like it's our championship and you gotta earn it. Gotta
Speaker 1: work hard to win the US Open. All right? Uh
Speaker 1: I mentioned a Super Bowl winning quarterback had an interesting
Speaker 1: take on why the Packers when after Jordan Love traded
Speaker 1: up to get Jordan Love. Trent Dilford, the former NFL quarterback,
Speaker 1: of course, won Super Bowl with the Ravens. He was
Speaker 1: on with the Ryan Rassillo with the Ryan Rassilo Podcast
Speaker 1: and had this to say about the Packers upsetting Aaron Rodgers. Well,
Speaker 1: I get the most Aaron Rodgers pissed him off. Don't
Speaker 1: pull it, don't pour sugar on him. I mean he
Speaker 1: is he's a guy. We have to be a psychologist.
Speaker 1: And I think the love drafting, I think how you
Speaker 1: coach them, I think it's all very strategic. I would
Speaker 1: have done the same thing, and people would have hated
Speaker 1: me and blah blah blah. I'll do the same thing
Speaker 1: to my player as eye coach. If I think I
Speaker 1: can do something to get greatness out of somebody, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do it. And I think that's exactly what the
Speaker 1: Packers did. Well, Let's see how Aaron Rodgers plays this
Speaker 1: entire season, because did it work? If he doesn't play
Speaker 1: well or the Packers didn't play well or don't play well,
Speaker 1: and then what do you do? So you went if
Speaker 1: you want to draft Jordan Love, okay, but you trade
Speaker 1: it up to get Jordan Love. So now Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: wants to prove you wrong like he wasn't motivated, and
Speaker 1: I don't I've been around Rogers and he is quirky
Speaker 1: in his personality and maybe he has a chip on
Speaker 1: his shoulder or he has a chip back on his shoulder.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but that seems like a stretch to
Speaker 1: go black. We got how do we motivate Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 1: How do we motivate him? You know what, Let's draft
Speaker 1: Jordan Love. Yeah, that'll do it. And you know what,
Speaker 1: we're gonna trade up to get it to let him
Speaker 1: know we really want him. Okay, what if Jordan Love
Speaker 1: isn't any good? What if he isn't ready to go
Speaker 1: in a couple of years. I think you've flirt with
Speaker 1: an off. You're flirting with danger there where. Rogers may
Speaker 1: just go, hey, you got your guy. You know, I'll
Speaker 1: go play for somebody else. Good luck with Jordan Love.
Speaker 1: But you're gonna trade up to get him. Why not
Speaker 1: help Aaron? You know what would motivate Aaron Rodgers? How
Speaker 1: about drafting a wide receiver in the first round for him?
Speaker 1: That might help. You know what, We're gonna motivate him.
Speaker 1: We're gonna draft Jordan Love. Yeah, the club, Well, you
Speaker 1: did the same thing here. You brought on Ethan to
Speaker 1: push me. Everyone saw that, but you didn't get any better.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well it doesn't always work. That might be
Speaker 1: a lesson for the backers. I'm waiting for Trent Dilford
Speaker 1: to say, you know, I watched the Dan Patrick Show
Speaker 1: and you know they brought in Ethan and I would
Speaker 1: have done it too, because you've got to motivate mclovin. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's risky, but the upside for the Packers is also gigantic.
Speaker 1: If somehow they get a Super Bowl out of Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers before he wraps it up and they hand off
Speaker 1: to a very good Jordan Love. That it's gonna be
Speaker 1: one of the great draft picks in history, similar to
Speaker 1: the far Rogers raft pick. Now that's the peak, that's
Speaker 1: the best it can go. It's possible. But do you
Speaker 1: believe that Aaron Rodgers is motivated now because they drafted
Speaker 1: Jordan Love whereas he wouldn't have been motivated coming into
Speaker 1: this season. Well, I don't know if it makes you
Speaker 1: play differently, but it maybe makes you play angry, is he?
Speaker 1: But I don't want you playing angry? But what a
Speaker 1: guy like him and may work. He's a very casual, laidback,
Speaker 1: chill guy. You see him during the game, He's joke
Speaker 1: around the refs and having fun. I don't know if
Speaker 1: he throws passes any tighter, he is he more aggressive? Like?
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want him being different. Some people
Speaker 1: need an enemy, some people need a foil almost like
Speaker 1: like a Howard sternback in the day or something. And
Speaker 1: if Aaron Rodgers is somehow more motivated because of it,
Speaker 1: but what is he putting in more time? He is
Speaker 1: he watching more film of course he is. Did he
Speaker 1: make his arm stronger? Like what what exactly happened that
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers went in and said, oh, okay, now I'm
Speaker 1: going to show you he still has the same receivers
Speaker 1: that we keep saying, boy, he needs help, And then
Speaker 1: you didn't give him any help. You drafted running backs again. Yeah, seedon,
Speaker 1: but they I mean there is something to motivation, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, like it's not like everybody shows up every
Speaker 1: day dialed to one hundred percent. Sometimes you need that
Speaker 1: extra you know, fire lit under you, right, But but
Speaker 1: what do you do differently? Like what does Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: do differently? Because they drafted Jordan Love That that's I'm
Speaker 1: curious about that. He's motivated. He's motivated I think to
Speaker 1: win anyway. But he still has the same wide receivers.
Speaker 1: He can't change that. Yes, I think it's hard to quantify,
Speaker 1: like what, but I think you're that way. I think
Speaker 1: sometimes once in a while on this show, you'll be
Speaker 1: like a someone will jab you and you'll wake up
Speaker 1: and you walk in here and you're quiet, and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden you'll unleash it on somebody. And that's
Speaker 1: some of the best radio. Yeah, but I don't know,
Speaker 1: you don't need it. I don't know if it makes
Speaker 1: me better. It can laser you focus on a topic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but then that might not be the smartest thing to do. No,
Speaker 1: but I've seen a couple of people go down hard
Speaker 1: when they took shots. Well, it's good, good radio. Yes
Speaker 1: and Colin No, we're good. We moved on. We moved on.
Speaker 1: We're good. Lessons, we're learned, we moved on from that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, it's funny to Davante Adams, it's now like
Speaker 1: the best receiver, Like all of a sudden, that pat
Speaker 1: like we didn't realize how good that receiving corps was.
Speaker 1: What if they don't play well this week? By the way,
Speaker 1: is that all? Oh? I don't know. Aaron Rodgers is motivated,
Speaker 1: so he should be great all season long, I guess,
Speaker 1: Or how long does this motivate you? Well, they host
Speaker 1: the Lions this week, so they should be he should
Speaker 1: be motivated this week, should do well. I don't even
Speaker 1: know if he has to be that motivated right against
Speaker 1: the Lions. But I'm curious how long the motivation lasts. Yes,
Speaker 1: they were thirteen and three last year. I feel like
Speaker 1: people talk about it like they were such a disaster
Speaker 1: last year. I thought they were a ten and sixteen
Speaker 1: that ended thirteen and three. Yes, yes, because then we
Speaker 1: saw them against San Francisco and you went, wow, there's
Speaker 1: a big difference between the Niners and Packers here. I
Speaker 1: thought that that was a fox thirteen and three. They
Speaker 1: were more like a ten and sixteen. Now, was Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers motivated last year because they went thirteen and three?
Speaker 1: We did Laflora cut his knees off. I mean he
Speaker 1: had he has so much less passive what same coach there? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, same philosophy there. They drafted another running back.
Speaker 1: They drafted a fullback. Motive all right, one hour in
Speaker 1: the books, two more to go. I got a surprise
Speaker 1: for you in the final hour. Go get all your
Speaker 1: baseball football trading cards, your Pokemon cards. I'm going to
Speaker 1: talk to you about how valuable they are back after
Speaker 1: this
