Speaker 1: Christmas names coming up. At some point in the show.
Speaker 1: Maybe you'll say something like, you know, he retired like
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty eight. I know, I would prefer if
Speaker 1: you had an athlete who has played in like this century.
Speaker 1: I could appreciate that. But you can't control the holiday
Speaker 1: names and what generation the cool holiday names going. I know.
Speaker 1: But we're festive today and Todd has a onesie on
Speaker 1: green like Elf Typer. You look good. I like it.

Speaker 1: me see, I got the official menu. If you want
Speaker 1: to live vicariously through us. Roasted tomatoes, buffalo chicken thighs,
Speaker 1: steak with chimmy churree, and salt crusted potatoes. That's what

Speaker 1: over ninety classes on a variety of topics. This is

Speaker 1: annual membership, you get another annual membership for free. Just
Speaker 1: go to masterclass dot com. Patrick, that's masterclass dot com
Speaker 1: slash Patrick come up with a poll question, play of
Speaker 1: the day, stat of the day, all of that coming
Speaker 1: up here in a moment. As we recap some of
Speaker 1: the headlines, Nets roll over the Warriors, the Lakers get
Speaker 1: their rings and then they get their bell rung by
Speaker 1: the Clippers. The bull games Louisiana Tech, Georgia's Southern Memphis
Speaker 1: versus Florida Atlantic, and Dwayne Haskins says he's starry, sorry
Speaker 1: for the strip sack. You know he's got the Captain
Speaker 1: C on his jersey. I did not know that. I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's still there. It shouldn't be there.
Speaker 1: But Dwayne Haskins and now what do you do? Alex?
Speaker 1: This has been such a and it's rare to say this.
Speaker 1: Washington has been a feel good story. They're in the playoffs. Chase.
Speaker 1: You got Alex Smith who came back from nearly losing
Speaker 1: his leg. Ron Rivera has battled cancer. Daniel Snyder hasn't
Speaker 1: done anything stupid during the season. He did prior to
Speaker 1: the start of the season. He just settled I guess,
Speaker 1: a sexual harassment suit out of court from back in
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine. We just found out about that.
Speaker 1: The name they're going to stay, probably with the Washington
Speaker 1: football team. But through all of this, and then you
Speaker 1: have Dwayne Haskins, who acts like he's on scholarship here.
Speaker 1: I would enjoy my final two games there if I
Speaker 1: was Dwayne, and maybe you get to play, maybe you
Speaker 1: get to show somebody else you can play. But I
Speaker 1: go back to what urban Meyer said about Dwayne Haskins.
Speaker 1: You know, maturity shoes. That was a big concern. It
Speaker 1: only really played one year where he was the focal
Speaker 1: point in college and he had a great year, but
Speaker 1: maturity and we've seen a lack of maturity now twice
Speaker 1: with Dwayne Haskins. But you have to play him because
Speaker 1: Alex Smith, if he's not able to go, and you're
Speaker 1: trying to get into the playoffs and you're actually playing well,
Speaker 1: your defense is playing well, and then you have this
Speaker 1: a selfish move by an immature player and his days
Speaker 1: have to be numbered. There, Play of the day, stat
Speaker 1: of the day, all of that coming up eight seven, seven,
Speaker 1: three d P Show email address DP at dan Patrick
Speaker 1: dot com, Twitter handle at DP show. Last night we
Speaker 1: got a glimpse of what the Nets might be. We
Speaker 1: know they're going to be a great offensive team. Kyrie Irving,
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant didn't disappoint. They blew out Golden State. Duran
Speaker 1: and Kyrie looked unstoppable. They've got really, really talented role players,
Speaker 1: Joe Harris, Jared Allen, Carris, LeVert, first time head coach
Speaker 1: Steve Nash look comfortable on the sidelines. They played with energy.
Speaker 1: You know, the question was the competition level. I mean,
Speaker 1: they were blowing out Golden State and I don't know
Speaker 1: how good the Warriors are going to be. But the
Speaker 1: Nets stay healthy and that's a big if because Kyrie
Speaker 1: was out most of the season with their shoulder injury,
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant coming off the Achilles. But you know there's
Speaker 1: gonna be some matchups there in the East. The East
Speaker 1: is a very very it's the East is strong this
Speaker 1: year and the Eastern Conference wide open. I know it's
Speaker 1: one game. Nets had a lot of eyeballs on them
Speaker 1: for their season opener, and they delivered in a big way.
Speaker 1: We tend to overreact just like with the Clippers. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, you see what the Clippers did to the
Speaker 1: Lakers last night? Yeah, I did. I mean Paul George
Speaker 1: played really well, so you're gonna go yep, I can
Speaker 1: count on that, Paul. You know, payoff George is a
Speaker 1: few few months late here on a big performance, and
Speaker 1: he's not blaming anybody after last night's perform. Apparently. I
Speaker 1: didn't know if he said anything like, hey, without Doc
Speaker 1: Rivers hanging over him, you know, coaching me see what
Speaker 1: I can do. But Paul George played well last night,
Speaker 1: looked really really good. But it's one game and it
Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything to me. I know, you want to
Speaker 1: win Opening Night. You're getting the rings. I know that
Speaker 1: we're gonna overreact. The Lakers did this last year. They
Speaker 1: lost and then they won seventeen of eighteen. It's just
Speaker 1: one game. We love to overreact one way or another. Now.
Speaker 1: I don't know if Golden State's going to be this bad.
Speaker 1: I don't think they will be, but maybe they're a
Speaker 1: team that gets in eighth playoffs spot in the West. Maybe.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but Brooklyn looked really good, really comfortable,
Speaker 1: and I expect them to be really good. I expect
Speaker 1: the Lakers to be great this year, but I think
Speaker 1: this was a preseason gay. That's what this felt like.
Speaker 1: You know, we always say this about Bill Belichick. First
Speaker 1: four games of the regular season. He sort of uses
Speaker 1: that as his preseason. He wants to see what he has,
Speaker 1: what he doesn't have, and then you start to see
Speaker 1: in week five who the Patriots really are. That's Belichick's
Speaker 1: philosophy and has been. You know, the Lakers, I would
Speaker 1: just ease into the season. You got new new players,
Speaker 1: new roles, and I gotta make sure that I got Lebron.
Speaker 1: All I care about is how healthy everybody is and rested.
Speaker 1: Once we get to the playoffs, that's it. I don't
Speaker 1: care if you're the one seed, two seed, three seed,
Speaker 1: as long as you're one of the top four seeds there.
Speaker 1: But I don't read anything into this that the Clippers
Speaker 1: came out and beat the Lakers on the night when
Speaker 1: they got their championship rings. Now I'm probably in the
Speaker 1: minority because people in my business know that's not a
Speaker 1: good take, that's not a hot take, because I take
Speaker 1: would be Clippers a little hungrier, Lebron starting to show
Speaker 1: his age here. Too many new faces with the Lakers. Here,
Speaker 1: Paul George is on him mission. All right, get ready,
Speaker 1: you'll probably get a strong dose of that today. Yeah shee.
Speaker 1: Playoff George doesn't sound nearly as cool as playoff Pe. Well, hey,
Speaker 1: good do you guys don't want playoff George to show up.
Speaker 1: He's gonna really bring the pain. I'm going to roast you.
Speaker 1: I am playoff Pa. You're like, dang, you don't mess
Speaker 1: with that playoff George. He's coming to town to can't
Speaker 1: ask and take names. Here's playoff Pee. After the big
Speaker 1: win last night, y'all, I don't know, man coming off
Speaker 1: to show the surgeries ain't easy. Two years removed, I
Speaker 1: had a heck of a offseason coming into this year
Speaker 1: where I was able to train and get back on
Speaker 1: the floor play basketball coming into the season. So I'm
Speaker 1: just in a good half space. I'm in a good
Speaker 1: physical space, and I'll put a lot of work coming
Speaker 1: into the shoe. Good. You should paying you fifty million
Speaker 1: dollars a year. You should be awesome. You should be great,
Speaker 1: You should be in shape. I like how when you
Speaker 1: know athletes take credit for things that they like. You're
Speaker 1: getting paid to be great and they go, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm bringing it. I worked out really hard to great. Congratulations.
Speaker 1: It's like when a dad says he's yeah, man, I'm
Speaker 1: taking care of my kids. You're supposed to like, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna compliment you, man, I take care of my kids. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're your kids. So I got playoff pe He is
Speaker 1: ready to go. Yeah, yeah, clem. You know who has
Speaker 1: the most to lose here is Montrez Harrold, who jumped
Speaker 1: from the Clippers of the Lakers. If the Clippers are
Speaker 1: really good now the Lakers struggle, you gotta pin it
Speaker 1: on him. Right. Let's let's the Lakers aren't going to
Speaker 1: struggle that they're not Lebron career record season openers now
Speaker 1: seven and eleven after last night's loss, including oh and three.
Speaker 1: Since joining the Lakers last year, they won seven straight
Speaker 1: seventeen of their next eighteen after their opening night lost
Speaker 1: two the Clippers, Yes to, did Paul George heard his
Speaker 1: shoulder pushing all the blame of Duc Rivers. I'm wondering
Speaker 1: of how exactly I think he heard himself patting himself
Speaker 1: on the back. Hey man, playoff? Hey man? Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: I like turning into Game one to watch Mike. Hey,
Speaker 1: there's Seargebacca. He's a Clipper. You know, you just kind
Speaker 1: of forget what the hell is Marcus All doing in
Speaker 1: a Lakers uniform, Like, oh, he joined the team. My
Speaker 1: favorite moment though, last night was when the Lakers were
Speaker 1: getting their rings and they did these tape pieces where
Speaker 1: the family members present the rings. And you know Alex
Speaker 1: Crusoe at the backup guard who's bald and has the
Speaker 1: headband his dad had like a full head of hair,
Speaker 1: or Alex CRUs so lets skipped a generation. There was
Speaker 1: an interesting moment after the game Kevin Durant and he
Speaker 1: was being interviewed by Charles Barclay and the TNT crew.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play the whole thing for you just because
Speaker 1: I got to kick out of it because I'm watching
Speaker 1: the game and you know, Marvin see Webber doing it,
Speaker 1: and I thought, you know, let me just hang on
Speaker 1: for a little while and listen to what they have
Speaker 1: to say. In the fourth quarter, as we like to say,
Speaker 1: they had some time to fill. And then at the
Speaker 1: end of the game, Kevin Durant puts on the head
Speaker 1: set and he has a conversate. Well, he there's I
Speaker 1: can't say it's an interview, but this is what happened
Speaker 1: on TNT with Kevin Durant. Yeah, we'll talk about you
Speaker 1: coming back for the playoffs last year. So you've really
Speaker 1: just been working on your game, trying to get back
Speaker 1: your time and condition and really to be honest correct. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, Kevin, you've been on championship teams, you've been
Speaker 1: in NBA finals, and now you're taking some guys that
Speaker 1: have only made the playoffs, like, what is the message
Speaker 1: that you send them on a consistent basis from day
Speaker 1: one to end of season? Come in to work and
Speaker 1: be the best you can be every day, and the
Speaker 1: rest to take care of it. So thanks a lot
Speaker 1: for spending a couple of minutes with us. We appreciate you, yes, sir.
Speaker 1: And so it was loud in that arena, couldn't hear
Speaker 1: it was so much energy and there wasn't it was
Speaker 1: excited about being exact guy. How was the shop is
Speaker 1: free for the kids? Pretty good? If you're not there, ye,
Speaker 1: ask me a question, Charles, how many how many gifts
Speaker 1: did you buy for kiddy this year? None? End of
Speaker 1: the highlights? Yeah, you know how your kids doing well?
Speaker 1: First of all, Durant has his boy, Kyrie Irving's back here,
Speaker 1: and Barkley has been critical of Kyrie Irving. So Kevin
Speaker 1: Durant goes on there. Kevin Durant is not gonna do anything.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna say anything. Probably, I don't know why
Speaker 1: did the interview unless they said, hey, you got to
Speaker 1: do the interview here, but you know, Katie is not.
Speaker 1: First of all, Charles's question is bad because it's a
Speaker 1: close ended question where you allowed Durant to go yeah,
Speaker 1: instead of saying something about, you know, explain about joining
Speaker 1: this new team or whatever it might be to get
Speaker 1: him talking. Durant did not want to be there. But
Speaker 1: I love the fact that they roast Durant right after
Speaker 1: he does the interview with him. That was funny. But uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: Katie did not. He did not want to be there. Yeah, seton. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he broke your number one role of interviewing close ended question. Yes,
Speaker 1: no answer. I said to Fritzie, reach out to Barkley,
Speaker 1: wake him up and let me yell at him, just
Speaker 1: like what are you doing? You know, Durant didn't want
Speaker 1: to do that interview, and but I love what they
Speaker 1: did at and I mean that was what was entertaining.
Speaker 1: That's what makes them so good is let's laugh at ourselves.
Speaker 1: Although they're laughing, good luck getting kad the next time.
Speaker 1: You'd think he didn't have something to say yes to.
Speaker 1: Durant is so sensive. Is he's still upset from a
Speaker 1: few years ago when Berkley didn't like the fact that
Speaker 1: he left to go to the Warriors. Is that like
Speaker 1: still something that would be hovering in Durant's mind to
Speaker 1: just be short with him like that, sure he's Katie. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then the fact that Charles has been critical of
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving. He's gonna go on there. He's not gonna
Speaker 1: be effervescent, he's not going to be low quacious. He's
Speaker 1: just gonna be yeah, yeah, yeah, pauling. But you know,
Speaker 1: Charles is I know the question wasn't perfect, But Kevin Durant,
Speaker 1: if you're going to agree to it, play along, have
Speaker 1: a little fun talk about what's going on. You could
Speaker 1: say a lot without saying anything. You could say a
Speaker 1: full sentence and say nothing as well. And it's almost
Speaker 1: like he went on. I think he went on to
Speaker 1: send a message like to do that on purpose to
Speaker 1: show he's the face of the team, but backing his guys,
Speaker 1: backing Kyrie specifically. Yeah, so it doesn't matter what the
Speaker 1: question was. He wasn't giving you an answer, right, So
Speaker 1: Charles could have asked a legitimate, good question. Kevin Durant
Speaker 1: was not going to give him anything. Yeah. See, he
Speaker 1: should have gotten on and just been like, well, you know, really,
Speaker 1: what I'm just gonna do is shut up and dribble
Speaker 1: because I'm not actually that smart. So I really haven't
Speaker 1: put much thought into why I came back. I'm just
Speaker 1: trying to play basketball, I guess, because I mean I
Speaker 1: could really do. He could have had fun at Charles's expense. Yeah, Chuck,
Speaker 1: I joined another super team. Remember when you tried to
Speaker 1: do that with Houston and try to join a super
Speaker 1: team and it didn't work out? Did it? Like he
Speaker 1: could have said, I mean he could be he could
Speaker 1: poke the barrel a little bit there and be a
Speaker 1: little mean spirited. I just think Durant goes, all right,
Speaker 1: I'll talk to him. And then Charles had a long
Speaker 1: winded question that wasn't good, and then you gave him
Speaker 1: a chance to say yes or no, and then Kenny
Speaker 1: tries to throw something in there, and then Ernie Ernie realizes,
Speaker 1: let's circle the wagons here. Custer has been shot. You know,
Speaker 1: Custer's got arrows. You know, Well, I'm about we shut
Speaker 1: the Hey, Kad, thank you. We appreciate your time. Spending
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes is my favorite part of that.
Speaker 1: You spend a couple of minutes felt like a little
Speaker 1: longer than that. Yes, McLevin, I hate to bring this up,
Speaker 1: but our Twitter timeline is filled with it. Did you
Speaker 1: see the headline of the stadium they're destroying in San Diego? Yeah?
Speaker 1: That kind of reminds me a little bit of a
Speaker 1: Pass interview. Basically, we have one hundred Matt Harvey references
Speaker 1: on our Twitter timeline right now. He's just getting rid
Speaker 1: of Qualcomm Stadium. I send it to Seaton uh and
Speaker 1: Paulie this morning that they're they're tearing down Qualcom Stadium.
Speaker 1: Very emotional moment for this show. Are we here to
Speaker 1: honor Qualcom today? Qualcom Stadium? Yes? And I think maybe
Speaker 1: we should bring back Matt Harvey's only Matt Harvey could
Speaker 1: tell us about Qualcom Stadium into it. So they're drop
Speaker 1: kicking the murf, that's what they're really going to do.
Speaker 1: They're gonna do that. Oh you think, man, Jack Murphy Stadium.
Speaker 1: I know, you know what the murf is, Yeah, but
Speaker 1: not many people don't. I know, but people don't know
Speaker 1: drop Kick Murphy. What do they hear my name's from
Speaker 1: nineteen nine? Yeah, I mean we might know them. They're
Speaker 1: Northeast based band, but that's that's in San Diego. So
Speaker 1: what's more of a reach Dropkick Murphy's or Jack Murphy Stadium.
Speaker 1: As far as what our audience would have never heard of, um,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm not quite sure Ton, but usually
Speaker 1: it's something that is not relevant to you know, the
Speaker 1: last ten, fifteen, or twenty years. Yeah, in case you
Speaker 1: forgot Matt Harvey when he was the Dark Night, he
Speaker 1: was on with us and um, he did not want
Speaker 1: to talk about anything other than Qualcom. Today. Obviously they
Speaker 1: were were honoring and supporting Caul Coom. Yeah, and that's
Speaker 1: the obvious part. I do love that he's you know,
Speaker 1: obviously we're here to honor Qualcom, and today we're gonna
Speaker 1: honor Qualca, the final moments of Quanca today. Obviously, today
Speaker 1: we were honoring and supporting Caulcom. But you can't offer
Speaker 1: any more support to qualcom if they detonate, be a
Speaker 1: lack of support, because it's it's headed down. It's headed

Speaker 1: Mick Love and you got a poll question for me. Oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, we just showed if you were watching
Speaker 1: on Peacock Drew Brees at the Super Bowl and Miami.
Speaker 1: This was the final segment of the show on that
Speaker 1: Friday of Super Bowl Week and Drew Brees we had
Speaker 1: hoped to have on He was across the hall and
Speaker 1: he was doing something and they heard my voice. He
Speaker 1: came over, sat down on the set in the final
Speaker 1: segment because we didn't know if Drew was going to
Speaker 1: come back or he was going to go to NBC
Speaker 1: to be part of their studio show. And he came
Speaker 1: in and then once he got done, stayed and then
Speaker 1: we had some food that ribs on the trigger, so
Speaker 1: Drew stayed there and had some ribs with us. That
Speaker 1: that was a fun show. That was a fun week
Speaker 1: in Miami. And it would be difficult to go to
Speaker 1: the super Bowl this year because of you know what's
Speaker 1: going on with COVID, just the restrictions, the safety precautions
Speaker 1: that you're going to have to take. But I've been
Speaker 1: to I'm trying to think a super Bowl that I
Speaker 1: didn't go to, certainly in the last probably thirty years.
Speaker 1: And I was just thinking about that last night, that
Speaker 1: if we aren't able to go to the super Bowl,
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll still cover it, We'll still have great
Speaker 1: guest on. But I was trying to think when I
Speaker 1: didn't go to a super Bowl, and it might have
Speaker 1: been the Bengals and the forty nine ers in Miami
Speaker 1: when Joe Montana hit John Taylor for the win. I
Speaker 1: was supposed to go. I was at CNN and I
Speaker 1: was going to go. Had I resigned with CNN to
Speaker 1: stay there, and I decided to leave and they let
Speaker 1: me go out of my contract early. So I was
Speaker 1: in between jobs with CNN and ESPN. Then I got
Speaker 1: to ESPN and I think that was the last Super
Speaker 1: Bowl that I missed. Yeah, Paul, do you remember the
Speaker 1: first Super Bowl that you watched on the field sidelines
Speaker 1: behind where you were working it or not working on
Speaker 1: the field? Thought when you're giving out the trophy or
Speaker 1: wasn't before that? Yeah, they don't let you on the field, no,
Speaker 1: but like you know, you know when you've given out
Speaker 1: the trophy, you've kind of been in the end zone before.
Speaker 1: Was that what the Patriots? Was that the first time
Speaker 1: you're on the field towards the end of the game. Um, well, Tampa.
Speaker 1: I think was my first Super Bowl that I handed
Speaker 1: out the trophy. That was Steelers Cardinals. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: think if I was on on the field for any
Speaker 1: because you have to be on the field. They they
Speaker 1: roll out that podium really quick when the game ends
Speaker 1: and the trophy procession starts. The commissioners up up up
Speaker 1: on the podium. Then you start to get the players,
Speaker 1: the coach, and the owner up there. It happened so quickly,
Speaker 1: in the span of about seven to ten minutes. It's
Speaker 1: on and ready to go, and had some you know,
Speaker 1: some nervous moments there as you get ready to do
Speaker 1: that in front of an audience over one hundred million people. Yeah, mclub,
Speaker 1: I think we put a picture of you on that
Speaker 1: Tampa sideline. I think you were sady was Steve Young
Speaker 1: on that last yeah famous drive like not far away,
Speaker 1: like twenty yards away, And there's a Getty photo where
Speaker 1: you're sort of staring at the play. Well, no, that's
Speaker 1: the Seattle one. Oh well, that's behind the end zone
Speaker 1: that we also found you on the sideline in Tampa
Speaker 1: as well. Oh, I was with Steve Young and we
Speaker 1: went down the field with the Steelers in that two
Speaker 1: minute drive and Steve was and I still, you know,
Speaker 1: I thank him because it was so great that I
Speaker 1: had a Hall of Fame quarterback who is doing sort
Speaker 1: of play by play and analysis in the moment watching
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger lead the Steelers down for game winning score
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl and Steve is there with
Speaker 1: me because I'm waiting to see if Arizona is going
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl? Who were the guest on
Speaker 1: the podium? If the Steelers win, has Ben going to
Speaker 1: be the MVP? And he should have been the MVP
Speaker 1: with that clutch drive, but the other one was. I'm
Speaker 1: right by the gold post when Russell Wilson throws the
Speaker 1: interception in the end zone with Malcolm Butler, and I'm thinking, Okay,
Speaker 1: first of all, Beast Mode is going to run right
Speaker 1: in right in front of me, and Seattle's going to
Speaker 1: win another Super Bowl. That'll be two for Pete Carroll,
Speaker 1: two for Russell Wilson. Now they've stamped their Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame careers. Is Paul Allen you know at the time,
Speaker 1: the owner of the Seahawks going to join us? Is
Speaker 1: Beast Mode going to get up there? You know, have
Speaker 1: all these thoughts that go into your head, and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I see Russell Wilson get ready to throw,
Speaker 1: and my reaction is, oh no, And then I just
Speaker 1: thought the ball was knocked down. And then I just
Speaker 1: remember hearing all this screaming by the Patriots players, and
Speaker 1: I realized that Malcolm Butler had pulled off the greatest
Speaker 1: play in Super Bowl history. And now I'm going, oh
Speaker 1: my god, Okay, so Belichick, Brady is Malcolm Butler, the MVP.
Speaker 1: Is Malcolm Butler going to be up on the podium.
Speaker 1: Robert Kraft's gonna be Like you just start to formulate
Speaker 1: all of these thoughts and questions you're going to have.
Speaker 1: And I mean, I've been lucky to have been around
Speaker 1: some of the great finishes in Super Bowl history. You
Speaker 1: know those final plays, you know, Brady against the Giants
Speaker 1: trying to connect with Gronk in the end zone, the
Speaker 1: sack on Brady and the Eagles game, because I think
Speaker 1: we were all under the impression Brady's going to lead
Speaker 1: them down and they're gonna win a Super Bowl here
Speaker 1: and I remember being behind that play and watching the
Speaker 1: sack in slow motion, and I just remember going, the Patriots,
Speaker 1: they just lost the Super Bowl the Eagles. So now
Speaker 1: I'm going Nick Foles, Doug Peterson, Jeffrey Lourie, Like I'm
Speaker 1: now you start to do inventory of Okay, who am
Speaker 1: I going to have up here? Oh my god, Nick
Speaker 1: Foles is going to be the MVP. Who would have
Speaker 1: thought they've been underdogs all year long? What am I
Speaker 1: going to say? And that's when I came up with
Speaker 1: the line, you know, the Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl champs.
Speaker 1: They are underdogs no more. And then that was it.
Speaker 1: And then I think I threw it up to Bob
Speaker 1: Costas or whoever was at the time. But I just
Speaker 1: remember those moments happened so quickly, and I could hear
Speaker 1: Kevin Hart down below yelling and screaming and mfing that
Speaker 1: he wanted to be on the podium. And We've had
Speaker 1: Kevin on to talk about it. He said that he
Speaker 1: was drunk and but for some reason, Kevin Hart thought
Speaker 1: that he should be up on the podium because he's
Speaker 1: an Eagles fan. So imagine it's so loud down there.
Speaker 1: It was so loud, but Kevin Hart was so loud.
Speaker 1: I could still hear him behind me yelling, and I thought, oh,
Speaker 1: my god, did you know did somebody try to get in?
Speaker 1: As security taking somebody out? And I look there and
Speaker 1: Kevin Hart is not a tall guy, and I just
Speaker 1: seeing them dragging Kevin Hard away, and I'm going, what's
Speaker 1: just happened here? And it's happening in real time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm palling. You know, the four of us were at
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl that was Minnesota Eagles for Patriots, and
Speaker 1: we were sitting kind of at the ten yard line,
Speaker 1: right in the end zone. And usually when you've given
Speaker 1: out the Super Bowl Trophy in the past, we're at
Speaker 1: home watching and we don't see what happens during the
Speaker 1: commercial break, and then we just next thing we do
Speaker 1: is see you with the microphone and the owner and
Speaker 1: the MVP. So they go to break. The game's over
Speaker 1: and we see them bringing the stuff out and we
Speaker 1: see you and you were like, what's that game, frogger?
Speaker 1: You're like dodging equipment, dodging people. You've got a producer. Honestly,
Speaker 1: he looked like he had his hands on you. No,
Speaker 1: he did, No, he did, Ron Viccarroll. He said, Ron,
Speaker 1: don't take your hands off me, because I didn't want
Speaker 1: to get lost. He was moving you up the stands
Speaker 1: once the stands are set and gets you there, and
Speaker 1: I remember the four us sitting there watching and we
Speaker 1: were anxious for you because we're like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: we've never seen this part of it before. It looked
Speaker 1: like you were about to get run over by equipment
Speaker 1: or people or cameras the entire time, and then you
Speaker 1: come back from break. It's like welcome back. And it
Speaker 1: was a very anxious moment to watch. But you have
Speaker 1: the players want to celebrate, and then you get the
Speaker 1: podium out there. You want to make sure nobody gets
Speaker 1: run over. The commissioner is coming over, there's the trophy,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, it happens so quickly
Speaker 1: and then everybody's up there. Then the procession starts where
Speaker 1: they have a former great, a Hall of Fame player
Speaker 1: who brings the trophy up. And then okay, I got
Speaker 1: one question maybe with the commissioner. Maybe no question? Do
Speaker 1: I introduce the commission The commissioner says to me, are
Speaker 1: you introducing me? And so I got to get a
Speaker 1: headset on, get the microphone. You know, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: figure out who's here, what questions I'm going to ask?
Speaker 1: And then the commissioner goes, are you are you going
Speaker 1: to introduce me? And I said no. The public address
Speaker 1: announcer will say, now the commissioner of the NFL roger.
Speaker 1: He goes, okay, okay, and then you'll give me the microphone.
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, I'll give you the microphone. He goes, Okay,
Speaker 1: then when I'm done presenting the trophy, I'll give it
Speaker 1: back to you. Right. So I'm directing the commissioner in
Speaker 1: that moment of all of these things that are going on,
Speaker 1: and what you want to do is you just want
Speaker 1: to get off the podium without making any mistakes. Just
Speaker 1: get names right. That's why it'll haunt me. It shouldn't,
Speaker 1: but it does. When I said to Gronk, he's holding
Speaker 1: up the trophy, and I said, did you ever think
Speaker 1: you would get this feeling again or this opportunity again?
Speaker 1: He goes, this is the first time I ever held
Speaker 1: the trophy. And I go and you know it was
Speaker 1: e me because you know, I'm under the impression that
Speaker 1: Gronk has been part of the celebration and that he
Speaker 1: had held the trophy. And he said no this first time.
Speaker 1: And I went, oh, thanks for bringing it up. Todd,
Speaker 1: Sorry about that down, especially you know, right before Christmas.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. You don't need to have that on your mind. No,
Speaker 1: if you're interested in watching the Arizona Cardinals in the
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine years that'll be on Saturday, you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to dream it on Prime Video. The Cardinals
Speaker 1: game with the Niners part of Amazon's NFL Holiday Blitz programming.

Speaker 1: than two hundred and forty countries. The game also televised
Speaker 1: in local markets including Fox affiliate KSAZ and Arizona. In addition,
Speaker 1: you can stream the game on mobile through NFL the

Speaker 1: Drew Holiday, you know, I go, Okay, I have done

Speaker 1: looked parallet that's your play of the day. Play of
Speaker 1: the Day is courtesy of ESPN Zach Wilson through for
Speaker 1: four twenty five three touchdowns BYU roughs up Central Florida
Speaker 1: in the roofclaim dot Com Boca Ratone Bowl. He is
Speaker 1: the fourth BYU quarterback to throw for over four hundred
Speaker 1: yards in a bull game. Jim McMahon, Ty Detmer, and
Speaker 1: John Walsh did it. If he declares for the draft,
Speaker 1: he's expected to be a first round pick. I guess
Speaker 1: there's at least a question right now if he does
Speaker 1: come back and then comes out next year, would he
Speaker 1: be the number one overall pick. He's talented. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I took as much from that game as
Speaker 1: I did the Coastal Carolina game. Central Florida COVID issues.
Speaker 1: That wasn't a very good representation of their defense. The
Speaker 1: Coastal Carolina game, Zach Wilson got roughed up pretty good.
Speaker 1: But he is a talented player. He'll be playing in
Speaker 1: the NFL. The question is you want to be a
Speaker 1: first round pick this season or maybe next year? Try
Speaker 1: to be the number one overall pick. Play the day
