1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Made it to a Wednesday It's our one, 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: Dan and the Dane's Dan Patrick Show busy show yesterday 4 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: with the news the Tennessee volunteers and what Coach Pruett's 5 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 1: assistance were doing with putting money in McDonald's bags for recruits. 6 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 1: By the way, two sources, two independent sources on that story. 7 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: The other story that was attached to this, there are 8 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: a lot of people in Tennessee saying, what about Hugh Freeze? 9 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: Bringing Hugh Freeze and the story that didn't get a 10 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: lot of coverage is what I also told you. My 11 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:42,279 Speaker 1: source said he thinks the SEC might be saying to Tennessee, 12 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: ye're not bringing in Hugh Freeze, as if to say 13 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: we're going to blackball him. Now that's not the word 14 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: that was used, but that's the feeling. Now technically, the 15 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: SEC and you know Greg Sankey can't say to Tennessee, hey, 16 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: you can't bring him in. I think it's a strongly 17 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: ed statement is probably how I'd characterized this. But I 18 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: know there was talk about Hugh Freeze and maybe he 19 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: could come in. The SEC has already been down this 20 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: road before. With Hugh Freeze, an old miss. Hugh Freeze 21 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: has done a great job at establishing Liberty as a 22 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: top twenty five football program. But what I was told 23 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 1: is that the SEC is strongly discouraging Tennessee from hiring 24 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: Hugh Freeze, whether they do or not. And the other 25 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: name that was brought up was Jason Witten, who is 26 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: still playing with the Raiders or at least on the 27 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: roster there, and he might be the guy former Tennessee 28 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: volunteer to come to the rescue with that program. So 29 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: that was yesterday. But you know, people question, and that's fine. 30 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: You can question, you know, my source or sources on 31 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: this if you want to. But they've been impeccable this 32 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: entire college football season. And this one was two independent 33 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: sources because once I heard that it was money in 34 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: a McDonald's bag, I should try to, you know, have 35 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: somebody else, if somebody else knows anything about this, because 36 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: it was so egregious, like they weren't trying to hide this, 37 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: and I thought, well, there's got to be somebody else 38 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: who knows it. And then I had somebody who reached 39 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: out to me to say, just so you know, your 40 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: source is right. Two independent sources on putting money in 41 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: a McDonald's bag. Yes, boy, it got a lot of 42 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: reaction yesterday to the McDonald's story with Knoxville and Jeremy 43 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: pruittt some fan of the show. He just went to 44 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: a local McDonald's in the drive through and asked for 45 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: the Vall's happy meal, and the woman that the Connors 46 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: just like, we don't have anything specific as Oh, I 47 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: thought it was gonna be great. Yeah, I thought we 48 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: should have had McDonald's yesterday. I don't know what I 49 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,959 Speaker 1: was thinking. It's all about content. We should have had, 50 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: you know, Mario, go through the drive through and get 51 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: us some McDonald's.

Now that doesn't mean they went to McDonald's 54 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: to get their money, but they the money was in 55 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: the McDonald's bags.

Tom Brady's stat of the 101 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: day coming up. Inauguration Day in Washington is not a 102 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: sporting event, but the Oval Office and sports have always 103 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: been intertwined, and for over a century now, presidents have 104 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: been throwing out the first pitch. Champions come to the 105 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: White House, or they publicly root for their teams, and 106 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: we've seen them work in sports. Donald Trump owned the 107 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: USFL the New Jersey Generals, a team that I got 108 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: to cover. In fact, was that Trump Tower when he 109 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: introduced Doug Flutie there when he signed him. George W. 110 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: Bush ran the ers. Ronald Reagan called radio games. Some played. 111 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: Gerald Ford played center at Michigan. Dwight Eisenhower he played 112 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: college football the Elder Bush. He played at Yale first baseman. 113 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: Barack Obama loved his Chicago teams, even interviewed in the 114 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan documentary. Bill Clinton famously followed the Arkansas Razorbacks 115 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: when they won a national championship. Richard Nixon big huge 116 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: fan and even suggested plays for his Washington Redskins. And 117 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: that brings us to Joe Biden. He's an Eagles fan. 118 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if he was ever in the stands 119 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 1: to boo Santa Claus, but don't be surprised if he 120 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: embraces sports, just like so many other presidents have. All Right, 121 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 1: mclevity got a poll question for me today. Well, yeah, 122 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,799 Speaker 1: I mean, Polly wanted to save this, but I can't. 123 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: I can't wait. Oh, by the way, sorry, Philip Rivers 124 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: has retired. Oh my god, Sorry I didn't guy. Yeah, yeah, 125 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: you have to. I have to announce the news before 126 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,119 Speaker 1: you then say, is Philip Rivers a Hall of Famer? Yeah? 127 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: So basically I can't wait. Is he a first ballot 128 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer? I need to hear your opinion because 129 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: he's going to be a polarizing one. What just say? 130 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: Is he a Hall of Famer? I think you have 131 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: to say first ballot because I think Hall of Fame 132 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: is a lot of people get in now, they'll get 133 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: in at some point. I don't think he's a first 134 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: ballot Hall of Famer seventeen years. He's got numbers, but 135 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: I think and this is the greatest era of quarterbacks 136 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: because look at the number of quarterbacks playing or have 137 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: played this year who are going to be Hall of Famers. 138 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if we've ever had this in the 139 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: history of the sport. At that position, it's pretty a 140 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: high bar when you think about how great you know, 141 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: if I look at Brady and Breeze just their numbers, 142 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: and then you put in Philip Rivers and you go, yeah, okay, 143 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: doesn't fit. Just numbers, not even talking about the Super 144 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: Bowls that mom has, and then Breeze has won. You know, 145 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger got a couple of Super Bowls, may not 146 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: have the exact numbers Philip Rivers has, but he's a 147 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer and he would go in I think 148 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: before Philip Rivers would. But you know, Aaron Rodgers obviously 149 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: is a Hall of Famer. Yeah, Paully. Philip Rivers was 150 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: a starter for fifteen seasons and seven of those seasons 151 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: has team made the playoffs. That's a plus, you know, 152 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: Like Matt Stafford is on the same course of Phil 153 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: Rivers without the playoff wins. I think Philip Rivers has 154 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,839 Speaker 1: five playoff wins as a starter. Matt Stafford has a 155 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: similar numbers, like great numbers forever doesn't have any playoff 156 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: wins yet. Yeah, but I think Matt Ryan might go 157 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: in if you said, let's compare when they're done, Matt 158 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: Ryan to Philip Rivers. Matt Ryan was League MVP, got 159 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. Yes, lost in dramatic fashion, but 160 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: that might be a little bit more of a nudge 161 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: with the voters than it would be, you know, but 162 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan an All Pro one time. I think, yeah, 163 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: mclov could you guess argue quarterbacks as are the benefit 164 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: of doubt, Like a good quarterback should get in because 165 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 1: they're just so impactful in the game, Like no offense 166 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: to Charles Woodson, who's going to get in this round. 167 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: He's an all timer, first ballot Hall of Famer, but 168 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: he's not as impactful as Philip Rivers was over the 169 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: last twenty years. But you have Aaron Rodgers saying he's 170 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: the greatest football player I've ever played with. Charles Woodson. Yes, 171 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: that's pretty high, Yes it is. But still, I mean, 172 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: there's a reason Philip Rivers got four hundred million dollars 173 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: in his career. Quarterbacks touched the ball every play. But 174 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: they're the son of the sport. But you're getting you're 175 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: getting those numbers just because of the game. The way 176 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: the game is played. Now you have to throw for 177 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: at least fifty thousand yards and three hundred touchdowns. But 178 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: he won a lot of regular season games too, fifteen 179 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: and one at one point. Yeah, yeah, I think he's 180 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer. He's not a first ballot Hall 181 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: of Famer, that was your question. Yeah, I think he'll 182 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: be first ballot though. I think quarterbacks eyes too. I 183 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: think Eli will be a first pay I don't think 184 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: it's right or wrong, But the media loves these guys. 185 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: Don't you know these guys. Don't you think they'll vote 186 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: them in? Well? Eli was a better postseason quarterback, but 187 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: feels like Philip might have been a better regular season quarterback. 188 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: And Eli beat the Patriots twice. He beat Belichick twice. 189 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: He plays in New York. You're going to get extra 190 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: points for that, you know. I go back to Joe Namath. 191 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: As much as I love him as a person, he's 192 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: the most overrated quarterback in history because if you look 193 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: at his regular season numbers, they're really pedestrian. I think 194 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: more interceptions than touchdowns. He had the one season that 195 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: changed the perception of the NFL when the underdog Jets 196 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: beat the big bad Colts. But Lenny Dawson, the Kansas 197 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: City Chiefs quarterback, to me, is a better quarterback than 198 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: Joe Namath now style flare, the ability with those little 199 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 1: you know, like Pop Warner pads that he would wear, 200 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 1: and he could just flip the ball, you know, he 201 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: had so he was so effortless. And he's a wonderful 202 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: person too, if you ever get a chance to be 203 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: around Joe. But you know it's I did it in 204 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: New York, and we did it on a national stage 205 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: when we were the biggest underdog in Super Bowl history. 206 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 1: But that's not why you should go into the Hall 207 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: of Fame. And I don't know if we change, you know, 208 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: what we expect out of a quarterback. What do we 209 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: expect out of a quarterback? I should say when I 210 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: mentioned somebody, this is the name Hall of Famer, and 211 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: really that should be the litmus test. But it's not, 212 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: because then we'll wait twenty years and say the Veterans 213 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: Committee is going to put this guy in, even though 214 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: we didn't put him in before. Then we're going to 215 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: put him in. You know, We're gonna make you wait. 216 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: You know, we make Hall of Famers in baseball, wait 217 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 1: to the final final year of eligibility and they get in. 218 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: But I'm glad I don't vote on this. I think 219 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers was a very good quarterback and he was 220 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: always available, rarely injured, but I wouldn't say he's the 221 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: first ballot Hall of Famer. Yeah, point, I've been saving 222 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,839 Speaker 1: this for four minutes. Whose career would you rather have? 223 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: Phil Rivers does not have a Super Bowl appearance, tons 224 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: and tons and tons of stats, a bunch of Pro Bowls. 225 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, super Bowl MVP. Joe Flacco I do not 226 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: think has ever made a Pro Bowl in his career. 227 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: He's never led the league in any passing category ever. 228 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: But he's got one of the best postseason resumes of 229 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: any quarterback. Yep. Joe Flacco in the playoffs is ten 230 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: and five with twenty five touchdowns and ten picks. Philip Rivers, 231 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: I think is five and seven in the postseason. But 232 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: he's not Joe Flacco is not sniffing the Hall of Fame. No, 233 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: Joe had a couple of moments there. He played on 234 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: very good team without the Super Bowl. He's Hall of 235 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: very Good. Yeah, he's Hall of Good. Yeah, hall of good. 236 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: But that's Super Bowl MVP. Really stokes things up. Yes see, 237 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: I can't separate Joe Flacco's personality from this question. Like 238 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco had no fun with any of this. I 239 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: don't want to be Joe Flacco. If Joe Flacco had 240 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,599 Speaker 1: a big personality, I picked Flacco. But Flacco did. He 241 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: tell us he went to drive in after the Super Bowl. Like, 242 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: nobody wants to be Joe Flacco. No kid grows up 243 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: and says, man, someday, I want to grow up and 244 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: be Joe Flacco. And maybe his sons like his sons 245 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 1: maybe maybe now they probably is like a hero kind 246 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: of figure. You know, he's like the gunslinger talking trash. 247 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers quarterback talking g rated trash. That's what I 248 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: always loved about Philip Rivers, you know, very religious. He's 249 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: gonna coach high school football. That's what he's gonna do 250 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: in northern Alabama. Thing going back home. But you know, 251 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: you give you a gosh dang. But just to hear 252 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,839 Speaker 1: somebody talk trash and it's g rated would make me laugh. Yes, ton, No, 253 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers gonna whind to the reps, even like at 254 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: the high school level, if the call doesn't go away. 255 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: That's what I'm curious about you would kill to have 256 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers as your quarterback. I actually like Philip Vers, 257 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: but he did don't you would always criticize up against 258 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: you liked him because he came on the show. That's 259 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:06,959 Speaker 1: definitely a part of it. But he did cry in 260 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: wine a lot. John Elway would love to have Philip 261 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: Rivers over Drew Lock. That Drew Locke experiment that seems 262 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: like it's ending. That didn't take long. Patrick Mahomes still 263 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: in protocol. Even though he doesn't have a concussion, he's 264 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: in concussion protocol, which is interesting. I'm guessing he's going 265 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: to be ready to play this weekend. Something interesting said yesterday, 266 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: and I don't know if Colin Cowherd was being serious 267 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: when he said this. I didn't see this or hear this, 268 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: but Paulie pulled the clip where Colin Cowherd on Fox 269 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: Sports Radio said the following about Patrick Mahomes and his 270 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: availability this weekend. I'm sitting there this morning thinking, if 271 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: I'm the NFL, Patrick Mahomes is going through protocol. I 272 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: find the day Patrick Mahomes can play, that's when we play. 273 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: Why not? I hope Colin's joking because I don't know 274 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: what he said after that to put it in context, 275 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: but when I hear that, I'm going, no, you can't 276 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: do Like, how do you pick and choose who you're 277 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: going to decide? That's enough to not play a game like? 278 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: This isn't COVID related. This is an injury. This is 279 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: part of sports. Do we wait for Kevin Durant to 280 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: get healthy from its achilles injury to then replay the 281 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: NBA finals? I think the NBA would like to. I'm 282 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: sure the NFL would love to do this. To be 283 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: fair to Colin, a lot of websites out there, sports 284 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: websites completely posted that if Colin was being dead serious 285 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: in his take there, well that's not a credit to Colin. 286 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: If there I think, I thought, well, maybe he's sort 287 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: of joking a little bit, like Patrick Mahomes is that important? 288 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: Let's pause, so we're gonna then wait another week for him? 289 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: What if it's two weeks? Do we wait two weeks for? Like? 290 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: How long do we wait? We'll wait seven but not 291 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: fourteen days. I mean, I'm assuming Colin is joking about that, 292 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: but I don't know, but it was I thought, well, okay, 293 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: where do we draw the line, if Josh Allen was 294 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: in concussion protocol, would we then say, you know, let's 295 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: move it another week If Aaron Rodgers, of course, But 296 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: what if it's a skill position player another position, not 297 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: a quarterback like Davante Adams can't play? I at what 298 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: point do you go? Is this the Patrick Mahomes rule 299 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: like nobody else? What if Brady couldn't play this weekend? Yeah? Point, 300 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: you know, I thought Colin's kidding, But more I think 301 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: about it, I'd be in favor of it. It It came 302 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: to some type of vote. If I knew it's Chad 303 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: Henny playing this weekend, I got time. Yeah, but you 304 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: can't do this, I know you technically can't. Just so 305 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: imagine if you're the Buffalo Bills and you're going, wait, 306 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: we're not playing, and why we want to make sure 307 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is healthy. As a viewer though a referendum, 308 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: I'm vote with Colin on this one. Yes, okay if 309 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, if the Packers advanced at Aaron Rodgers test 310 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: positive and they have to just wait two more days 311 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: to get in, would they push the Super Bowl back? 312 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 1: That at least are in the discussion. I don't think 313 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: they would or could. But but but that we're talking 314 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: about COVID right to open the door to health health 315 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 1: issues affecting when the game is But we've never gone 316 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: through COVID before, we've gone through concussions. Troy Aikman said 317 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: he got concussed in the NFC Title Game and played 318 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl the next week. He would never 319 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: be able to play in the super Bowl the next week. 320 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: I don't think he was in the hospital and has 321 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: no recollection of the NFC Title game, played in the 322 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: super Bowl and won the Super Bowl. I don't think 323 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: they would have gone, you know, Troy America's team and 324 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: we can move this back. People would have said, you're crazy. 325 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: Maybe Colin was, Maybe he was having fun. Maybe I 326 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: don't know. That's great. I got enough to worry about, 327 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: you know, I can't be worried about what other hosters saying. 328 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: But it was brought to my attention. Yes, m club, 329 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: are we sure? By the way, this is I've asked you, 330 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: like everyone agreeing at to pinch nerve, were we sure 331 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: it was a concussion with Mahomes? And the reason I 332 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: say this because my good friend Kevin Cobb, his first 333 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: concussion was just a little book. It was just like nothing. 334 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: You couldn't even tell. You couldn't even tell that he 335 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 1: was hit in the head, and within two years his 336 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: career was over. Like, I you know, like that's a thing, 337 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,199 Speaker 1: like could have really been in concussion. Not that you 338 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: know the answer, Dan, but I don't know. Teams are 339 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 1: usually or used to be pretty good at hiding things, 340 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: but I don't know if they would go. Let's make 341 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: it a pinched nerve, compressed nerve. Brett Farve has some 342 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: thoughts on Patrick Mahomes will get his thoughts coming up here. 343 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: Bob Kravitz. Bob Kravitz had a column yesterday and the 344 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 1: headline is was I wrong about to flategate question mark? 345 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: Six years later, it's still complicated. Bob Kravitz broke the 346 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: story at the time working for the Indianapolis Star. Why 347 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: second guessing himself six years later? Bob will join us. 348 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: Coming up a little bit later on, we'll take a break, 349 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: phone calls, we have a whole question, we get a 350 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: stat of the day, play of the day, all of 351 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: that coming up.

I was 387 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 1: looking at the sports books for entertainment purposes only with 388 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: Chad Henny as the backup to Patrick Mahomes. Westgate Sport 389 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: super Book. Their director John Murray said Buffalo will become 390 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: the favorite if Mahomes is ruled out, but there is 391 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: a difference of opinion among the staff of oddsmakers. The 392 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: line could go bills minus three if Chad Henny plays, 393 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,719 Speaker 1: or move as high as minus seven for the Buffalo Bills. 394 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: If Mahomes is fine, fully healthy, Chiefs minus three or 395 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 1: four if he's not playing, Buffalo could be about a 396 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: seven point favorite. The betting public loves the Bills. Entertainment 397 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: purposes only had five had his thoughts on Patrick Mahomes 398 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: and this is his advice to Patrick Mahomes twenty one 399 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: straight games. It kind of goes against everything that you know. 400 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: I stood forward when I played, But you gotta be smart. 401 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: You gotta be smart. I was never faced with a 402 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 1: decision that he potentially will face this week, and ultimately 403 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: the decision may fall on the doctors, and if they 404 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: choose that he doesn't play, then that's the right move 405 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: because of long term damage. And when you're in the 406 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: moment and you're young, your bulletproof. Man. I'm fifty one 407 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: years old and I wonder what tomorrow will bring because 408 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 1: of concussions more than anything. And nobody is thinking about 409 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: that when they're twenty five. But this is a new era, 410 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 1: in a new athlete in their approach towards longevity, the 411 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: amount of money that's available for these players, and here's 412 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 1: Mahomes just starting a half billion dollar contract. Here's far 413 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: on Mahomes's concussion and it'll be a test for the NFL. 414 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: He will want to play whether or not he passes 415 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: the baseline test that he took initially and the doctor's 416 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: feel he's able. This is a test for the NFL 417 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: right now to see a star player in a crucial, 418 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: crucial game. What will happen with their decision. This is 419 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: a fifty year old former quarterback talking about this. As 420 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: far as the Kansas City Chiefs, I always want to 421 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: hear what the coach has to say after the game, 422 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: and Andy Reid made it seem like, Hey, he's in 423 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 1: good spirits and he gave you a feeling of okay, 424 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: not that bad. Maybe it wasn't a concussion. Maybe it 425 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: was just nerve damage in the moment and he'll be fine. 426 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: But you have to go through the concussion protocol. I 427 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: don't know exactly how that works in determining okay, we 428 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,640 Speaker 1: saw that. That's what we need to see to move 429 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: on to the next round, and then the next step, 430 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: and then the next step. If he's been cleared to 431 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 1: be on the practice field and throw the football, then 432 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: I would assume that he will be playing this weekend. 433 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: But I don't know if he had a concussion, and 434 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: I think that's the big question mark that I would have. 435 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 1: And I don't know if we've had medical results or 436 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 1: they've even released anything about that, But it does feel 437 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: like if I watch that video, I don't see his 438 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: head hit the ground. He hits the defender's arm or hand. 439 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: Now it could still I guess you bring about a concussion. 440 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: This is different than Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson's head snaps 441 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: back in the end zone, and that looks like a concussion. 442 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,479 Speaker 1: Mahomes got up and he looked like he had had 443 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: a concussion. But I don't know if this is just 444 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: nerve damage and it was one of those in the moment, 445 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: a compressed nerve. Maybe it's something that if you do 446 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: massage therapy, if you know you're injecting it, whatever it is, 447 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: you know, I think there's a little bit more to 448 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,199 Speaker 1: this than just it's a concussion. It didn't seem like 449 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 1: a concussion to me, just observing how he got up 450 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: from a hit like that. Yeah. Point, We've had one 451 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: hundred old football players on the show, and they've told 452 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: you about lying to get in games, lying to height 453 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: injuries or locker paloma, we've got lists of them. Aikman, 454 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 1: do you think that Patrick Mahomes or any player these days, 455 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 1: even though long term health is more of a concern, 456 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 1: has like a sliding scale. This is in October fifth, 457 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: this is January twentieth. I think it's harder to lie now. 458 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: I think it's harder to deceive now because they don't 459 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: listen to you. They listen to the medical guys. This 460 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: isn't like, hey, if you do this, you can pass 461 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: a lie detector test. This is different. And I think 462 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: you know, with the lawsuits, independent doctor looking at Patrick Mahomes, 463 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if you can go hey, um, all right, 464 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: I'll pass you. You know, the home team doctor gave 465 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: you a home team advantage, but you don't have that now. 466 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: And that's why I think it's a tricky situation for 467 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: the Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes. Yeah. Time. The other thing 468 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: is if he does have a concussion and he starts 469 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: experiencing any symptoms in the coming days, he's got to 470 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: go back to Stage one of the concussion protocol. And 471 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: there's a limited number of days until Sunday's coming up. 472 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: So that's another fact. If all of a sudden things 473 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: are bright or he's experiencing nausea or anything's got to 474 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: go back to square one. McLevin. Did you see any 475 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: language though on could it be nerve damage and it's 476 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: not a concussion, but yeah, but he has was he 477 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: originally diagnosed with the concussion. Therefore he had to go 478 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: through concussion protocol like that. That's mandatory, I believe, so, yes, okay, yeah, 479 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: which makes it And you know the thing I was 480 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: gonna ask you about concussions, like you can't see any 481 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 1: you can't prove anything, but you can't see inside the brains, 482 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: so you have to go on symptoms like eye dilations. Yes, 483 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: And I've had two concussions and one was horrible, just 484 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: I had I had no business being on my feet 485 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 1: at all. Uh. The other one I didn't know I 486 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 1: had a concussion. I had to be told I had 487 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: a concussion. There's varying degrees of this. And you'll find 488 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: these players that you get your bell rung, and then 489 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: we find out getting your bell rung probably means you 490 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: had a concussion. And it's you know, people go, well, 491 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: it's like minor surgery. You can have a slight concussion. Now, 492 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: if you've ever had surgery at surgery and if you 493 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: ever can have a concussion, it's a it's a concussion. 494 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 1: Now you know the severity of it, because I was nauseous. 495 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: I was it was almost like I'd been on a 496 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 1: boat and I was csick, and it was where you 497 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: just want to lie down and that the room spins. 498 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: I saw stars. It was a horrible experience. But the 499 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: other one that I had, I didn't know that I 500 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: had it, and then I realized that I did, and 501 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: then you start to have some symptoms there. I don't 502 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: know if Patrick Mahomes has a concussion, but you have 503 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: to go through that process there. And then just the 504 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 1: preparatorial work for the Buffalo Bills is really key. I 505 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 1: know they played them already and it is Patrick Mahomes, 506 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 1: but just getting ready for the Buffalo Bills and the 507 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: whole process and these are creatures a habit. I do 508 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 1: this on Monday, I do this on Wednesday, Thursday, I 509 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 1: do this. He might not be able to do that, 510 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 1: and that's also something to factor him. Yeah, Polly, you 511 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: know what Joe Thomas, the off the tackle was talking 512 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 1: about yesterday was kind of even more scary. He was 513 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: talking about nerve damage and when you get hitting a nerve, 514 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: some of your body parts don't move normally for the 515 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: next few minutes or a few seconds. And to me, 516 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 1: I think, I think most football players have had a 517 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: bunch of concussions, light ones, dings, s, bell wrongs. But 518 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: that nerve thing where you put your foot down and 519 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: it's not stable, that's gotta be really scary. What did 520 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: he call that? Like a dead foot or like he yeah, 521 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: you needed to help off the field. And it was 522 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: just a nerve. It wasn't a concussion. It was nerve 523 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: damage there all right? Eight seven seven three d P 524 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: show email address DP at Dan Patrick dot com, Twitter 525 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: handled at DP show. Tiger is out for two months. 526 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: He had a back procedure. He's had back surgeries, but 527 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: this was just a procedure. I'm not sure the difference. 528 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: And I probably had quite a few procedures because I've 529 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: had quite a few surgeries. Do you have the definition 530 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: the medical definition of a procedure as opposed to a surgery. 531 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: Are you suggesting we play the surgery versus procedure game 532 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: because we've been I've had this one in the stall. Yeah, okay, 533 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: I didn't know we were ready for that. But yeah, sure, 534 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: the difference between a procedure and a surgery. This guy 535 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: is not an athlete, but he's had a couple of procedures. Paul, 536 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: thank it ed Who in this room? Part one of 537 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: the quiz thinks there is a difference between a surgery 538 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: and a procedure because a lot of people think it's 539 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: just a a sports team term to make it seem 540 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 1: like it's not as important or not as serious. Who 541 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: thinks there as a technical difference? I do? I do? 542 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: I think too. Yeah, you're all yes, you're all correct, 543 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: there's a difference. Surgery is an invasive technique with a 544 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: fundamental principle of physical intervention on organs or organ systems. 545 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: That means they cut you open and enter and they're 546 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: doing stuff inside your body cavity okay, as a general rule, 547 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: and this is they said, it's developed over the years. 548 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:37,719 Speaker 1: A procedure is consider is not considered surgery when it 549 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 1: involves cutting into the tissue or closure of a previously 550 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: stained wound. So let's say you you had back surgery 551 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: and it was big, but they go back in, cut 552 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: the same little area, open up, and do a cleanup. 553 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 1: That is considered in the medical field a procedure. It's 554 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: not a new surgery. It's kind of like a clean 555 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: up on all five. Yes, yes to procedures. All surgeries 556 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: are procedures, but not all procedures of surgeries. Can we 557 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: say that? I think so a complicating things more. I 558 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: think Todd, you're you're wrong ish because a surgery is 559 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: bigger than a procedure because they use a phrase up 560 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: as a surgical procedure, which is also a surgery. Dan, 561 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: You've had shoulder surgery, right, and knee surgery. Okay, So 562 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: let's say they went into your shoulder and they noticed 563 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: there's a little chip missing. Yeah, and they went in 564 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: just did a quick cleanup of that chip in your shoulder. 565 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: That would be considered a procedure because it's the same area. 566 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: All I know is if you put me under and 567 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: I'm on a slab and you're going into my body 568 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: and cutting into it, that's a surgery. Yes, that's correct. Yeah. 569 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: I mean that's even if you've gone in before, because 570 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,239 Speaker 1: I've had my knee cut on what six times, they 571 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: go in the same places because they have the holes. 572 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: There is that surgery or a procedure. I think you've 573 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 1: had one surgery and five procedures checking my notes? Okay, 574 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: but what doesn't mean you weren't out and it didn't 575 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: hurt When I got my eve replaced, that all right? 576 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: And then when I got my rotator done surgery okay, 577 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: but when he got it done again procedure what it doesn't? Yeah, 578 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: Now I get bummed out, like you know when you 579 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: say I have had six surgeries on my knee. Man, 580 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: you must have been an athlete. If I say had 581 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: one surgery and five procedures, you're too far down the 582 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: road to stick with what you did. What do you 583 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: think about surgeries where you're still awake? Do they seem 584 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 1: like JV surgeries? No? Because I had my knee done 585 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 1: and uh this was doctor Ting in San Francisco who 586 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: was the Giants physician, and he worked on Barry Bonds. 587 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: He said to me some of this, No, no, I 588 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: would have taken some of that. He said to me, 589 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 1: do you want to be awake for this? And I go, good, God, no? 590 00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: Why he goes, well, I thought you might want to watch. 591 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: And what he would do is they would numb you 592 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: from like a local in your knee, and I you 593 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: know this way, you don't wake up and if you've 594 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: ever got you know, come out of anesthesia, you be nauseous, 595 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: you don't feel good at all. And he said, you know, 596 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: this eliminates that, and you can watch me go in 597 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: and this. I had the micro fracture surgery, so he thought, 598 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna want to see this. And you know, he 599 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: has the drill bit where he goes into the knee 600 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 1: and he's trying to find healthy carterleag or blood in there. 601 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: And he gave me the VHS tape of my knee surgery. 602 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 1: I told you guys this story. We watched, I think 603 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: we saw some pictures from it. I was my wife 604 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 1: and I were getting ready to watch something and we 605 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: had it on VHS. Might have been a Seinfeld episode 606 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: and I put this in and we were actually having 607 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 1: spaghetti as God is my witness, and all of a sudden, 608 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: you see this drill going into my knee. No, we did, 609 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: and I didn't know what it was. And my wife goes, 610 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: oh my god, what is this Like, Oh, that's my 611 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: knee surgery. Little cartilage and then past, yeah, cartilage, primavera. Yeah, yeah. 612 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: I had the eye surger a couple of years ago, 613 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,319 Speaker 1: and they asked the same thing, would you want to 614 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: be conscious and aware during it? I'm like, absolutely not. 615 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: I know it's more dangerous. There's danger with anesthesia and 616 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 1: stuff like that, but the idea of being not the 617 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,760 Speaker 1: pain but the awareness doesn't sound like fun. I had 618 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,240 Speaker 1: my both of my eyes. I had the arcade surgery, 619 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 1: and this is where they open your eyes. They put 620 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: something in your eyes. They have these clamps that pull 621 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: the skin back like like a scary movie. And then 622 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 1: they put drops so they numb the surface of your 623 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:45,920 Speaker 1: eyes a clockwork orange yes, And then you see him, 624 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,839 Speaker 1: so you're awake, and I see this nice knife that's 625 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: coming right towards my eyeball, and so they carved up 626 00:34:55,520 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 1: my eyes, and uh. I remember driving soon after. I 627 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 1: hope nobody's eating right now, and I have lights like 628 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: the car lights coming.

Those are the three teams that I've seen. 653 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,400 Speaker 1: Last time I saw Michigan play, they look great, go 654 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 1: the extra mile, very own upfitted Mercedes been sprinter van. 655 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 1: You could win in Fox Sports Radio's Ultimate Tailgate Rig Sweepstakes. 656 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,920 Speaker 1: To enter get official rules, visit Fox Sports radio dot 657 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,760 Speaker 1: com or Dan Patrick dot com.

Lots of stories in 663 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 1: that draft. Ryan and Maryland leads us off today. Hi, Ryan, 664 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:31,400 Speaker 1: what's on your mind? Hey? What's going on? That? First? 665 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 1: Before I share this experience on how terrible traumatic brain 666 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,800 Speaker 1: injuries are, I just want to say that you guys 667 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,959 Speaker 1: show help me, you know, get through this. I'm still 668 00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: dealing with this, actually, but I would just calling just 669 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: to say that, you know, it's probably the worst injury 670 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:56,840 Speaker 1: any individual, not even just athlete, can have. I was 671 00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 1: a boxer and now my career is done because of this. Now, 672 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 1: the way it happened was more different than you know, 673 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,840 Speaker 1: any thing that could happen to sports far as the 674 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:13,440 Speaker 1: way my traumatic brain injury happened. It didn't happen from boxing. Basically, 675 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:17,440 Speaker 1: it happened from an attempt home invasion. You know, I 676 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:22,480 Speaker 1: resisted on basically giving up, you know, anything in my 677 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 1: house or anything far as financially. So I got jumped 678 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,400 Speaker 1: and I suffered a traumatic brain injury, which I didn't 679 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 1: know how serious it was until I tried to jug. 680 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,759 Speaker 1: And you know, when it first happened, I was sent 681 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:43,720 Speaker 1: to the arm So then after the AR I'm thinking, 682 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:45,680 Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna stay in there because when it 683 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 1: first happened, I did it didn't you know, I didn't 684 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 1: feel any symptoms or anything. So when it first happened, 685 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,960 Speaker 1: you know, I just saw a little bit of bleeding 686 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,239 Speaker 1: and then it was coming from my head. But I 687 00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 1: didn't feel any marks on my face, any you know, 688 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,239 Speaker 1: lumps anything, So I had no idea it was coming 689 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,719 Speaker 1: from my brain. Well, a lot of people don't know 690 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 1: in situations like that, Ryan and I hope that there 691 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: is a road of recovery for you, but yeah, you 692 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,040 Speaker 1: don't know that. And and it's it's one of those 693 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,319 Speaker 1: that we can't see inside the brain. That's why you'll 694 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 1: have a lot of football players who donate their brains 695 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,919 Speaker 1: to science when they're all, when they're done, when they die, 696 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,360 Speaker 1: it's in their will that they'll leave their brain to 697 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,440 Speaker 1: have it studied. And we're continuing to study that and 698 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 1: we continue to try to make the helmets safer. This 699 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 1: is just football, But thank you Ryan for sharing that. 700 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:44,919 Speaker 1: Let's see Alan Buffalo. Hey, what's on your mind today? Hey? Dan, 701 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 1: I got two things for you. Number one, if you 702 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 1: continue to listen to Colin, he was off his rocker yesterday. 703 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 1: He said that bill fans wouldn't want it to go 704 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,560 Speaker 1: to the super Bowl if Mahomes wasn't playing because it 705 00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:02,400 Speaker 1: would cheapen it. Let me tell you, if all the 706 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 1: starters were out and we go to the super Bowl, 707 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:09,279 Speaker 1: we won't feel bad at all. Yeah. I don't know 708 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 1: the context of what Colin Cowherd said about this with 709 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, but people have since followed up to say 710 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,360 Speaker 1: he was serious about the NFL should postpone this game 711 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 1: this weekend if Patrick Mahomes couldn't play. Well, so just 712 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:31,360 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. What Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers? Like, where do 713 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 1: we draw the line? Where you go? Like if you 714 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,319 Speaker 1: were that quarterback and you go, Hey, I might not 715 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,480 Speaker 1: be able to play. Yeah, sorry, we're playing this game. Sorry, 716 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,719 Speaker 1: you're not good enough for us to not play this game. 717 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:46,720 Speaker 1: Does it cheapen it? Yes, but that's part of the sport. 718 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,959 Speaker 1: Magic Johnson when he was injured when the Lakers lost 719 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:58,000 Speaker 1: to the Chicago Bulls. Bulls Bulls fans are okay with that. Hey, yeah, sorry, 720 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:03,760 Speaker 1: Magic couldn't play. Ah, we'll take the title. Kevin Durant 721 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,920 Speaker 1: goes down with the torn achilles. I don't think anybody's 722 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 1: returning their NBA Championship rings there because Durant got injured. Yeah, 723 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,320 Speaker 1: Paul Dan, would you use your authority to order Fritzie 724 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,279 Speaker 1: to send a note to the NFL asking if they'll 725 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:24,440 Speaker 1: consider what are they going to do more often? I can't. 726 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,560 Speaker 1: I can't do that to Todd because Todd would do that. 727 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 1: Todd is Todd is a great soldier. If you want 728 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,840 Speaker 1: to send it, Paulli, it's just, you know, Fritzie always 729 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:38,279 Speaker 1: gets you know, the blowback. You know, there's always shrapnel. 730 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,680 Speaker 1: But but he'll send the email. I just the last 731 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 1: time we sent the email to the NFL, it didn't 732 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 1: go well. I try to pick the most polite words, 733 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,200 Speaker 1: but it's not. Yeah, I don't. I don't want to 734 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,080 Speaker 1: do that. I don't want to do that. You do 735 00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 1: a little bit, though, don't say well, I think you 736 00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,279 Speaker 1: know if you say, hey, um, what are what are 737 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,640 Speaker 1: the chances that you would postpone the game? If Patrick 738 00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,160 Speaker 1: mahomes camp, I don't even know how you would phrase it. 739 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 1: You don't ask about the Lions, Carl. Oh, you know 740 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:14,200 Speaker 1: that's always when when we got that email back that 741 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,880 Speaker 1: I had the audacity to ask just what is Kevin 742 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:22,680 Speaker 1: Stefanski allowed to do right up to the game, and 743 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,920 Speaker 1: the NFL sent a note back, well, you didn't ask 744 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:30,920 Speaker 1: him about Darryl Bevil and the Lions. He's right, because 745 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 1: I didn't care about Darryl Bevil. But I'm sent to 746 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,400 Speaker 1: Article four, section three, paragraph two of the two thousand 747 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 1: page NFL book to fight out the legal ease of it. Oh, 748 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:44,320 Speaker 1: you're right, America wanted to know why Darryl Bevil couldn't 749 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,840 Speaker 1: somehow be involved in coaching the Lions late in the season, 750 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,359 Speaker 1: the last game of the year. Yeah, it's the same 751 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 1: thing Kevin Stefanski with a playoff game, and then you 752 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 1: have Daryl Bevil with the Lions. My bad we should 753 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,279 Speaker 1: ask about Darryl Bevel just every time we send a note. 754 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:08,000 Speaker 1: Just want to know how Darryl Bevil's doing. By the way, yeah, yeah, 755 00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 1: Bob Kravitz broke that de flate Gate story six years ago, 756 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:18,360 Speaker 1: and now he says maybe he was wrong. Maybe maybe 757 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 1: that's coming up next hour. One more item is we 758 00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:25,799 Speaker 1: close out the first tower.
