1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Oh we're so immature. Welcome to the program. 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: Hour two on this Wednesday, Dan and The Dannis dan 4 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: Patrick Show had a lot of fun first hour. Man, 5 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: this is why we do the show. They're just moments 6 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 1: where you just you get a chance to have fun. 7 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 1: And look, the topics have been pretty serious here the 8 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,959 Speaker 1: last couple of months, but there are times when you 9 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: just start to giggle and you just want to laugh 10 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: for a little bit. By the way, Happy Dak Prescott day. 11 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: It's finally here. Cowboys last chance to sign their star 12 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 1: quarterback after today, he plays the season on a franchise 13 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: tag and will somehow have to get by on thirty 14 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: one point four million dollars unless they can reach a 15 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,919 Speaker 1: last minute, long term deal. And even with all these 16 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: huge stories going on, the Dak saga has been front 17 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: end center all off season. How big is this story? 18 00:00:55,400 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: What compares to Dak Prescott and his contract? You know, 19 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: Tom Brady was a big deal. Dak Prescott's been going 20 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,759 Speaker 1: on for how many months? Now? Eight months? They haven't 21 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: spoken since March, and here we are Dak Prescott, the Cowboys, 22 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: the most nationally oriented team and all the pro sports. 23 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: You might get an argument with the Yankee fans, but 24 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: Dallas is right there. And Dak's role in this is 25 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: a little more confusing. We know he's a good quarterback. 26 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: Is he a forty million dollars a year quarterback? You 27 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: gotta get deeper into the playoffs to validate that number. 28 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: I think you got to win your division. That would 29 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: help too. But Prescott's going to be interesting this season, 30 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,839 Speaker 1: going into this season coming off a very good season 31 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: last year. But why, here's something that people always bring 32 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: this up to me. You say he's a good quarterback. 33 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: He threw for five thousand yards last year. I go, okay, 34 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: the top five quarterbacks in passing yards in twenty nineteen 35 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: didn't make the playoffs. Folks, overrated stats. Jameis Winston, Dak Prescott, 36 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: Jared Goff, Philip Rivers, and Matt run Those are your 37 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 1: big yardage guys, all right. Now, He's going to earn 38 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: himself a lot of money one way or another. And 39 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: he bet on himself, which I think is great and 40 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: I would do the same thing, bet on yourself. Dallas 41 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: is being responsible. It feels like with their money like 42 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 1: it's weird. How they spend. We're gonna give Zeke Elliott 43 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: this money. We're gonna give Amari Cooper this money. Dak Prescott, 44 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: We're not going to give him that money. But this 45 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: is just another layer of drama on the NFL's most 46 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: popular soap opera, and that is your Dallas Cowboys. But 47 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: it looks like he'll do a one year deal, and 48 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: I certainly understand it, but I just don't know if 49 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: Dallas is all in on him now. People came back 50 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: yesterday when I said that, and they said, well, they're 51 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: offering him a five year deal. I think they are 52 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: trying to get a team friendly five year deal, and 53 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: Dak wants to be back in the marketplace before he's thirty, 54 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: and that's why he wants a four year deal. His 55 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: quarterback rating is really high. His passer rating is the 56 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: third highest by any quarterback in his first four seasons 57 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: in the league in history. Kurt Warner, Russell Wilson, Dak Prescott, 58 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: Tony Romo, Dan Marino. That's the list. But you don't 59 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: have Super Bowl appearances there, Russ. You do, Kurt, and 60 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: you do Dan Marino went to a Super Bowl. Tony 61 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: Romo is the guy. He replaced, so stats can be tricky. 62 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: I want to know, like when Dallas was good, Dak 63 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: was good, or when Dak was good, Dallas was good, 64 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: and when Dak was bad, Dallas was bad. You can't 65 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: have that inconsistency at that position, no matter what you're 66 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: paying that quarterback. And he was horrible in their bad games, 67 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: but he was great in those games that they wont 68 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: You can't have that fluctuation. And you have that with 69 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. But it looks like he's going to do 70 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: a one year deal than an unrestricted free agent. But 71 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: you know, Kirk Cousins actually gave him some advice. Did 72 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: you guys know this that during the season last season, 73 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousin went up to Dak Prescott and he said, 74 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: my message to Dak when I saw him midseason last 75 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: year was hey, whatever happens, don't be afraid of the tag. 76 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: Cousins told ESPN this story back in May. All right, 77 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: and Kirk d Cousins certainly benefited, did well with the tag, 78 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,559 Speaker 1: but didn't sign a long term deal with the team 79 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,679 Speaker 1: that is tagging him. Neither. Drew Brees, who was tagged 80 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: by the Chargers in two thousand and five, or Kirk Cousins, 81 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: tagged by Washington in sixteen and seventeen, wound up signing 82 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: multi year contracts with those teams that drafted them, both 83 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: eventually moving elsewhere. We're going to talk to Jane Slayter, 84 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,239 Speaker 1: who does a great job for the NFL Network covering 85 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Could you see a scenario where Dak Prescott 86 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: moves on from the Cowboys after one year? Yeah, that's 87 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: my question. You're not going to get an answer to it. 88 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: Does Dak Prescott want to be a Cowboy? He's gonna 89 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: get paid either way. But if he accepts the franchise, 90 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 1: he gets that big money this year, next year, Eventually 91 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: he'll be a free agent. And the one thing you'll 92 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: never find out the answer to is maybe he and 93 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: his agent don't want to play for that franchise long 94 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: term and that's why they're saying no to these things, 95 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: which again you would never know. But this is a 96 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 1: great time to be the Cowboys starting quarterback because you 97 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 1: do have everything in place, or at least most the 98 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: pieces in place to be a formidable team. You have 99 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: a new coach in there who has been a quarterback whisperer, 100 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: and maybe that helps him, because I can't put all 101 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: of this on Jason Garrett. I got to put some 102 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: of this on leadership there. The quarterback defense has some names, 103 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: but as I've pointed out many times, their names because 104 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: they played for the Dallas Cowboys. And if I'm Dak Prescott, 105 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 1: I want to stay as the Dallas Cowboy quarterback. There 106 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: is no other position in football like the Dallas Cowboy quarterback. 107 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: And the amount of money that he was making off 108 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: the field and endorsements supplement that with whatever you're going 109 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: to make from the Dallas Cowboys, and you get to 110 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,559 Speaker 1: stay in that uniform, in that stadium, with that talent 111 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: around you for the next couple of years. And I 112 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: was told from the beginning they were not budging off 113 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: wanting a four year deal. And you know what, they 114 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: haven't budged off a four year deal. Cowboys don't want 115 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: to budge off the five year deal. Got a stalemate here. 116 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: This program brought to you by Callaway.

What is the poll question, Nick Lovin? Well, 122 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: we started with who would you rather sign to a 123 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: five year deal? Nick Bosa or Dak Prescott See if 124 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: anyone steals at seventy eight one, Nick Bosa. A lot 125 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: of people yell to me on Twitter that it should 126 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: have been Aaron Donald, But I don't know if that 127 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: If that's fair, of course you'd go Aaron Donald, right, 128 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald over Dak Prescott. Yeah? How old is Aaron Donald? 129 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: See twenty six, twenty seven? He's twenty nine. That's why. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 130 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: that's right. That's why we didn't put him in there 131 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: because of his age. I would take Dak Prescott over 132 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: Iaron Donald. If I'm if I'm paying for the next 133 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: five years, then I would take Dak Prescott. Yeah. Mclen. 134 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: Other people ask, are you do you have the wrong BOSSA? 135 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: Who's better Joey or Nick? With a big side debate 136 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: on my Twitter feed because Joey's apparently very very good too. No, 137 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: he is very very good. He's not apparently yea, he 138 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: is very very good. Um. He said two Pro Bowls 139 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: in four seasons. That sound right for Joe. I think 140 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: Nick is he might look like the chosen one here 141 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: between the two? Are there anymore anyone any other bossas 142 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: on the way? Well, Chase Young is also an Ohio State. 143 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: He's like the next bossa. Everyone says, I know he's 144 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: not related. How is it that Ohio State? And like 145 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: you have those two guys on opposite ends. I got 146 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: Bosa and Chaise Young. How did anybody move the ball 147 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: at all? Complete a pass? I think people put the 148 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 1: picture post of them, didn't one? I think like because 149 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: Ohio States scored so much, like they kind of laid off, remember, 150 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 1: and they're known for their offense under urban my or 151 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: not their defense. Well I went to the Michigan game 152 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: and they didn't seem to put up a lot of 153 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: points that day. Did they shut them down? Oh? Yeah? 154 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: That was one of those that I actually felt sorry 155 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: for Michigan in that game in Columbus. And that's never 156 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: happened before where I feel sorry for Michigan, But that 157 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 1: day I did. It's like, okay, that's enough. Like it 158 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 1: got to the early third quarter, I go, man, this 159 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: is gonna be They're gonna put up a sixty bagel 160 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: on them. Yes, are you excited for Ohio State Michigan 161 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: a Memorial Day next year? Is that when it's gonna be? 162 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: I don't does that seem I know this, we haven't 163 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: talked about that spring spring college football. It just seems 164 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: so weird. If it happens, great, I'll welcome it. You 165 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: know what's going to be happening in a week? In 166 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: two weeks, we're going to be inundated with so much sports, 167 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: and usually at the end of July it's you know, 168 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: kind of quiet in full baseball slate, and that's usually 169 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: not a good thing. And maybe you get summer league basketball, 170 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: maybe a little soccer golf. Now in the next week 171 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: to two weeks, a plethora of games in a variety 172 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: of sports. If all goes is scripted, yes, Todd, What 173 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: could emotionally be worse for sports fans having a few 174 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: more months of nothingness pretty much, or it comes back 175 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: briefly as a little tease and then end up playing 176 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: the plug. Oh, I think I would rather have them 177 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: come back and then they pull the plug, like I 178 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: just need a little bit. And if it's sustainable, great, 179 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: and I don't need fans. I don't need If they 180 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: they're able to play that. I'm fine with that. I 181 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: don't want to it greedy. But if you're saying they 182 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: go two weeks and then they have to shut it down, 183 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: at this point, I'll take those two weeks because we 184 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: have been parched. But in the next two weeks, get ready, 185 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna be excited for baseball late July baseball. Who 186 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,959 Speaker 1: would have thought, yeah, mclov can't wait for NFL training camp. 187 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: Be stories that overwhelm all three of those active sports. 188 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: By the way, yes, if they know it's true, once 189 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: NFL training camp happens, is it going to happen twenty eighth? 190 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: It seems okay. I don't know if you guys are 191 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: aware of some of the players have some proposals for 192 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: the NFL. An opt out clause for at risk players 193 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: to receive their salary but not bonuses if they decide 194 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: to not play. An opt out clause for players with 195 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: at risk families to earn and accrue season and ben 196 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: if it's if they decide not to play, an opt 197 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 1: out clause for players who leave the team after reporting 198 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 1: a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars stipeend guaranteed all 199 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 1: players if they show up to camp and everything is 200 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: shut down because of COVID nineteen concerns. So the amount 201 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: rises to a half a million dollars if the season 202 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: starts only to be shut down. These are the NFL 203 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: has got some work to do. The players Association in 204 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 1: the NFL have some work to do, and they don't 205 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: have a whole lot of time to do it. Just 206 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: a side story to keep an eye on. Here Bow 207 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: and Ohio joins us to lead us off this hour, 208 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: high Bow, what's on your mind? Good morning, gentlemen. How 209 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 1: are y'all doing today? Great? Ended five to nine in 210 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: a COVID two hundred. Anyway, the point I was wanting 211 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: to make was about Dak Prescott. Do you think that 212 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: Jerry's numbers, his years, and his offer has to do 213 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 1: with the fact that Jerry probably thinks that you can 214 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: win a super Bowl with Dak Prescott, but you can't 215 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,719 Speaker 1: win a super Bowl because of Dak Prescott. I think 216 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: it's a valid question there, Bo, Thank you. I don't know. 217 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: To me, Dak Prescott is he can be a very 218 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: good quarterback. The problem is that there is a there's 219 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: a separation there between when he's really good and then 220 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: when he's really bad, and you're not going to win 221 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 1: a super Bowl if you have a quarterback who plays 222 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: that way. If Dak is able to be I need 223 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: him to be better in games that the team is 224 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: not playing well, like he still has to be that 225 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: consistent position there for them because it's so important. And 226 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if I can say, hey, they lose 227 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: because of him, or when they lose he doesn't play well. 228 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: He has to be able to salvage a couple of 229 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: games there where the team's not playing well, but somehow 230 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: he is able to play well. But you can't have 231 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: eight wins now if he has eleven or twelve, I 232 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 1: don't think this is a It's a no brainer if 233 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: I'm the Cowboys, But don't you don't have that luxury. 234 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: You have a bad division. The Giants were mediocre, Redskins 235 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: weren't any good, and the Eagles were all banged up, 236 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: and you didn't win the division. He's going to bet 237 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: on himself again this year, and maybe he puts up 238 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: five thousand yards, but five thousand yards doesn't mean anything 239 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: to me. If the top five quarterbacks in yardage passing 240 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: yardage last year didn't make the playoffs. Why are we 241 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: so excited when we go? He threw for five thousand yards, 242 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: so did Jamis Winston. He threw thirty touchdowns, so did 243 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: Jamis Winston. I need you to win games. That's the 244 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: most important stat a quarterback has. And there were times 245 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: when Mahomes it felt like was the singular force in 246 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: winning a game for Kansas City. You see this with 247 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: Brady with the Patriots where they didn't have any offensive 248 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: weapons or it felt like they were undermanned, they somehow 249 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: would win a game. And that's the difference. The great 250 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: quarterbacks find a way to win a game, and Dak 251 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: Prescott has to do that. But he's still if you look, 252 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: what's going to happen thirty one point four million if 253 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: he doesn't get signed to a long term deal and 254 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: then he's an unrestricted free agent in twenty twenty one, 255 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: sixty nine million over two years. If you know, he 256 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: gets tagged again and unrestricted free agent one hundred twenty 257 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: three million over three years, unrestricted free agent in twenty 258 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: twenty three, So he's got a lot of money guaranteed, 259 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: and then he'll be a free agent beat before he 260 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: turns thirty. That's what the Cowboys have to try to 261 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: beat their offer has to be better than that, and 262 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's going to be. And I 263 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: don't know if Jerry cares to have it better. Fourth 264 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: quarter stats for Dak Prescott his rating eighth, His quarterback 265 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: rating was eighth, completion percentage tied for twelfth, and TD 266 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: interception ratio twelfth as well. So not bad, not bad. 267 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: But if you're gonna pay somebody forty million dollars a year, 268 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: I can't have you be not bad. You gotta be 269 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: a sure thing. And maybe, and I'm being accused of 270 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: not holding other quarterbacks accountable Jared Goff when he was 271 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl or Kirk Cousins in the playoffs. 272 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: No I am. I do hold him accountable. I mean, 273 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: golf got paid. I didn't see enough to pay him. 274 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: And I know that that's the going rate, but that's 275 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: I don't understand that logic with the owners. Hey, the 276 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: going rate, we got a am a dollar more than 277 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, or we got to pay him a dollar more. 278 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: That you don't have to because there are certain quarterbacks 279 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 1: who aren't worth that. Jared Goff hasn't proved it. He's 280 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: shown glimpses. I mean twenty eighteen, they could do no wrong, 281 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,199 Speaker 1: right him and Sean McVeigh. When's the last time we 282 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: talked about the Rams Jared Goff, Sean McVeigh. The NFL 283 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: moves so quickly forgot all about him. We almost forgot 284 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: about Carson Wentz. People are ready to move on from 285 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. He's still an elite quarterback. It's just here 286 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: we are with Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes. Now we're 287 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: waiting for Trevor Lawrence justin fields. This is how it happens. 288 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: It's so quick, Yeah, mclub. Remember Baker Mayfield, how excited 289 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: we were about him. Yeah, Baker Mayfield Junior, the third 290 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: I think he had the best rookie year ever. Yeah, 291 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: he did. Cam's back, Like you know, it's it just 292 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: it moves quickly here, yes, McLeman. So who do you 293 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 1: pay then? Like you've now been down to three quarterbacks 294 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 1: who are well Deshaun Watson I pay, and Russell Wilson 295 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: I pay, and Aaron Rodgers I pay, Brady I pay, Ben, 296 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: I pay, Breeze play. There's a lot of quarterbacks you pay, 297 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: but those are guys who have a proven track record, 298 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 1: being able to win. That's the most important part. Ask 299 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: any of those guys. Drew Brees has seventy five thousand 300 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 1: pouncing yards. If I said I'm gonna take away twenty 301 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: five thousand yards, you get one more Super Bowl, He'll go. 302 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: Where do I sign up? Brady doesn't care about his stats. Couldn't, Carola. 303 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: He threw for five hundred yards in the Super Bowl. 304 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 1: As asked Matthew Stafford, He's thrown for forty five hundred 305 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 1: yards and twenty five touchdowns every year. He's got nothing 306 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: to show for it. Yes, McLeman. Yeah, Ryan Danihill remember 307 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 1: his playoff performances. He got paid big time in twenty nineteen. 308 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 1: In games which Dak had a quarterback rating of ninety 309 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 1: or more, the Cowboys were eight and two. In games 310 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: where his rating was under ninety and six, we'll check 311 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 1: in with Cowboys.

You know, waking up early 326 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 1: because you never know, As the Cowboys typically say, their 327 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: door is always open for deals. But I can confirm 328 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,199 Speaker 1: that they have not had any talks or negotiations with 329 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: Todd France, Dak's agent. So I think we're less than 330 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: a little less than six hours now until this deadline 331 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: three pm here Central time. Does look like we're moving 332 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: towards the franchise tag on this one. If we looked 333 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: at the offer with the Cowboys, is this a fair 334 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: offer or is it? You know, how's it viewed league wise? 335 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: I guess it depends on who you ask. Dan. Now, 336 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: the Cowboys consider it a fair offer if you look 337 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: at the numbers they're looking at anywhere between. I was 338 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: told about thirty three thirty five million dollars, and then 339 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: the guarantee is closer to Jared Goff, so it's over 340 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: one hundred million. It's probably right around that one hundred 341 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: and ten million dollar number. And then ask for total guarantee, 342 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 1: I'm told it's the guarantees about eighty five plus. It's 343 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: a rolling guarantee, something that they do these days. But 344 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: then it's all guaranteed. So if you look at the money, 345 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: it's of course not bad for a guy been paid 346 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 1: less than five million to play for the Cowboys. He 347 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: was that fourth round pick. I always remind people behind 348 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: Jamil Showers and of course Tony Romo went Tony Romo 349 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: went down. But he feels that he can get the 350 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: thirty one point four this year. Next year, if they 351 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: franchise tag him again, he gets thirty seven million. And then, 352 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: of course when they're looking at that third year, which 353 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: is really the sticking point for them both in this 354 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: contract and then the contract after a second franchise tag, 355 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,120 Speaker 1: that's when they're expecting the gambling revenue to go up, 356 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 1: the TV contracts to spike, and that's when Dak's agent 357 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,360 Speaker 1: really wants to cash in for his client. And I 358 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 1: wondered this, and I wanted to ask you the question, 359 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,239 Speaker 1: can you see maybe a situation where Dak moves on 360 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 1: from the Cowboys. I don't think it's gotten to that 361 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: point yet, Dan. I mean, I just keep going back 362 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 1: to when he was a rookie, the way that he 363 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: galvanized that locker room. This was Tony Romo's city, this 364 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: was his team, it was his franchise. Not only when 365 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 1: he came back was he not allowed to compete for 366 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: the job, if practically forced Tony into retirement. Of course, 367 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 1: he's seen a lot of success now in the broadcasting booth, 368 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,239 Speaker 1: which I do have to apologize or remember saying on 369 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: your show he was going to struggle in the booth, 370 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 1: and he certainly did not, and he got fitted anthomly. 371 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 1: So look, we've all got to eat crow when we 372 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,479 Speaker 1: have a bad take. That was a terrible take by 373 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: me a couple of years. I didn't even remember it, Jane, 374 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: But thank you for bringing that up. But I like 375 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: to keep myself on as here, Dan. But Dak has 376 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: done such a good job both on and off the field. 377 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: Now I know people have gotten to Dak and they've 378 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: tried to encourage him that, look, you take this deal 379 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: because you don't know what the economy is going to 380 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: look like. Also, I should bring up I was talking 381 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: to a couple of agents because I was pulling them 382 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: in other words, what would you do? And they're sort 383 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: of as split as the fan base is on this. 384 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: But one agent reminded me of Anthony Spencer's deal. He 385 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 1: was franchise tagged when he was a young lineman. They 386 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: thought that he was going to have a lot of 387 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 1: success the last year, so they rolled the dice. He 388 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: didn't play as well and they didn't have a great year. 389 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: In fact, the Cowboys weren't going to franchise tag him. 390 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: They ended up tagging him again. He entered himself in 391 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: the third game, and then looking back in hindsight, probably 392 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: wish that he had had the security of a longer 393 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: term deal. Dak has just always been a guy that 394 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: has banked on himself. He's been pretty durable. He's played 395 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,360 Speaker 1: sixty four regular season games, He's gotten them to three playoffs, 396 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: he's won one. This is a guy that from high 397 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: school to college to even the league, has always been himself. 398 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: I always talk about his history, which is interesting. He's 399 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: always replaced the starter because of injury and never given 400 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,640 Speaker 1: the job back, And then everyone always asked me, well, 401 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: is this going to be a distraction. Well, it certainly 402 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: wasn't a distraction last season. And this is a guy 403 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: that's played through his mother being sick. He played with 404 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 1: Tony Romo breathing over his shoulder and won the job, 405 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: and the Cowboys didn't look back since he does an 406 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 1: amazing job of compartmentalizing. But what he's doing here is 407 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: he's banking on himself and trying to get Max's value. 408 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 1: Is she a great quarterback? You know, if you ask 409 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: his teammates, they'll tell you he's a great quarterback. And 410 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of things that come with 411 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: me a great quarterback. Are you a true leader? Do 412 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 1: you galvanize the locker room? And in terms of the 413 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 1: intangibles they've brought in John in the last year, of course, 414 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: he's not here this year with the staff. They of 415 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: course brought in a whole new coaching staff that he 416 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: really hasn't had a chance to familiarize himself with because 417 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: of COVID and virtual OTAs in the hold out. But 418 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: I've been told within that building. Mike McCarthy from what 419 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: he saw his rookie season when he came up there 420 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: and he beat the Packers, which I would argue was 421 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: one of the one things that was sort of in 422 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: Jerry's cross space when he was trying to decide Romo 423 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: or Dak. It was the way he went up there 424 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: he led that team to victory. Mike McCarthy remembers that 425 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: he's mentioned that I've been told that he thinks that 426 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 1: he can do great things with Dad Prescott, that this 427 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: is the guide that you want, and then you look 428 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: at his goddy passing numbers last year. I mean, he 429 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: certainly answered all the critics you said he couldn't throw 430 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 1: the ball. He's time and time again, I sort of 431 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: answered a lot of the questions. It is a little frustrating, 432 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: I think, probably for him, that this is a team 433 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: that is famously overpaid players, that has never let a 434 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 1: contract like this get down to the wire. You've just 435 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: got a really shrewd businessman in Todd France negotiating his 436 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: contract and you finally have the Cowboys saying we're going 437 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,199 Speaker 1: to be smarter about the way that we do these deals, 438 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: and that's why we're at this impass. The Cowboys want 439 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: a five year deal. He wants a four year deal. 440 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: I keep asking the two sides, we'll just get the 441 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: four year deal done. The argument is they want to 442 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: tear that that deal up in year three and then, 443 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,360 Speaker 1: like I said, capitalize on that growing cap and the revenue. 444 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 1: And the Cowboys feel like they are paying him top 445 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: of the market money. They frontload these contracts. They believe 446 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: they should get that X year because they believe that 447 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 1: this is a fair offer. I have more of a 448 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 1: problem with Ezekiel Elliot's contract than I do. What you're 449 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: gonna pay Dak Prescott like I don't. I didn't understand 450 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,239 Speaker 1: when you resign a running back, I want you for 451 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 1: four or five years and then I move on you. 452 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: You're all interchangeable. It feels like quarterback. It's different, you know, 453 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,439 Speaker 1: to your point, Dan, the Cowboys were pretty solid on that, 454 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 1: saying that he didn't Todd Gurley didn't deserve Todd Gurley money. 455 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 1: And this thing got pretty acrimonious, and it was I 456 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 1: didn't go to bed on this one either, because I 457 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: knew someone was going to pick up the phone. In 458 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 1: that case, Rocky Arsenal's agent picked up the phone, Zink 459 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: came back from Cobo. He had what I call fomo. 460 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,479 Speaker 1: He wanted to be around his teammates, and they were 461 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 1: able to get the deal done. But I would also 462 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: argue that because of Todd Gurley's contract and Ezekiel's contract, 463 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: you gotta think the next running back may not get 464 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: top of the market value because you haven't seen a 465 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: sort of production. And it goes back to all the 466 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: analysts you were saying, you know, look, the running back 467 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: doesn't deserve some of that money. Well, Todd Gurley on 468 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott's contract certainly didn't do the next running back 469 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: any favors. She's Jane Slayter, NFL Network reporter. She didn't 470 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: think Tony Romo would be any good joining us here 471 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: on the Dan Patrick Show. You know, I was with you, 472 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: though I didn't because I'd never heard Tony be effusive 473 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 1: and really you know, dramatic and opinionated, and he's different. 474 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: And I had somebody who said, man, he killed his rehearsal, 475 00:26:55,480 --> 00:27:00,080 Speaker 1: killed it, and I went, wow, Okay, what was it 476 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: about Romo that you were cautious about him being an analyst? 477 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: I think it's tricky. I think in this business to 478 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: analyze your peers, and so I thought that that was 479 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: something that Romo was going to struggle with. But I 480 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: also think you and I have to admit there is 481 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: a narcissism and a bit of an ego that comes 482 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: with this job. Dan, and I think that that has 483 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,919 Speaker 1: sort of played well for Tony because you have to 484 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 1: have sort of confidence I've taught. I've heard that even 485 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,199 Speaker 1: when he goes into some of these meeting rooms and 486 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 1: he's talking to coaches and the quarterbacks, he'll say, so, 487 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:30,959 Speaker 1: you think you're going to do this particular play here? 488 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 1: And so initially there was some eye rolling about that, 489 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,679 Speaker 1: but I think there's now a respect level for him. 490 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 1: And then I think, of course Jim Nance being paired 491 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: with Jim Nats are sort of set up to succeed. 492 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: But I think he's done a great job and in fact, 493 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,959 Speaker 1: look like I said, I own when I have bad takes. 494 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: I was doing an event with Tony at Super Bowl 495 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: and I said that to him. I said, look, man, 496 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 1: people were wrong about me in my career, and I 497 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: appreciated when they owned up to that. So I owned 498 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: up to Tony and he certainly got handsomely paid by 499 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 1: CBS and deservedly. Yeah, Nance plays such an unbelievable role 500 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: in Tony's success because Tony is like your little kid, 501 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: you know, like my son, who just blurts out things 502 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,719 Speaker 1: and then you kind of have to clean it up 503 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: and get it back, you know, in the middle of 504 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 1: the road, because Tony would be going watch him mother 505 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: watch and watch in and there's romos or dacks back 506 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 1: to pass, so he has to clean it up. But 507 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 1: you know, it's just one of those kids who says 508 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,160 Speaker 1: something and uh and it's fun. I just never saw 509 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 1: that personality. Every every bite that we had, every game, 510 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: he would say, what was the usual refrain, Paulie when 511 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: they lost a game, I'm sad, I'm disappointed? Or Seaton, 512 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: did you have said frustrating, disappointing, frustrating and disappointing everyone. 513 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: We used to say, no, your romo, like what year? 514 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: What game? Did he say it? Because he would always 515 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: say frustrating, disappointing, And I go, okay, I can't see 516 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: him as an analyst. It's like Jay Cutler, Oh, do 517 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: you have it here? It's just disappointing. Yeah, yeah, and 518 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: Cutler is the same one. I don't think if color 519 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: was way he is on very cavalry. That would be fun, 520 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,239 Speaker 1: but I can't imagine him going in there and lightening up, 521 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: you know, an audition. Butler actually has a pretty amazing 522 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: personality when you get him awaiting the same I think 523 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: a lot of these guys sort of get conditioned, and 524 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: maybe we're responsible for Dan in the media. They're sort 525 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: of Dan if they do damn if so they sort 526 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: of refrain from saying too much to us. But when 527 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: you sort of get them off the cuff and they 528 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: get comfortable in that booth. I think Troy Atman is 529 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: one of the best. I love listening to try and 530 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: some cowboy fans can't stand him. They feel like he's 531 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: too harsh, and I find it criticism interesting. I think 532 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 1: it's no different than the way he was on the sidelines. 533 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: When we watch a football life and we see him 534 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 1: miked up. So I do think a lot of these guys, 535 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: their unique personalities come out when you put him in 536 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: the booth. I always felt bad for Jason Witten. I 537 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: think the reason why the Jason Witten experiment failed was 538 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: one I don't think he was set up to succeed 539 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: with the right teammates. And I think in our job too, 540 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: I've certainly been cast with well that maybe the chemistry 541 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: is not necessarily there. But I also feel like Witten 542 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: is always, always wants the golden star, and he's the 543 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: type of guy that has willed himself to be good 544 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: at particular position. This sort of job, I think comes 545 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: with a little bit of the reps, but also sort of, 546 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: like I said, a little bit of the narcissism and 547 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: the ego, and Jason has never really had that. He's 548 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: always been a team first guy. So I think that's 549 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: why Jason and the Jason Witten experience failed because he 550 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: is such a talker. I find him interesting when you 551 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: talk to him. It's just it didn't work unfortunately in 552 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: the booth wall. But do you think he'd still be 553 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: in the booth if he got good reviews? I do, Yeah. 554 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,719 Speaker 1: I don't think he was one to really go on 555 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: social media either. He's one of those guys that ignored it. 556 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: And I know from my days in sports talk you've 557 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: sort of develop a leather like skin after a while, 558 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: you sort of shrug off people's comments and their thoughts. Dan, 559 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: I know everyone thinks that they can do your job 560 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: and not everybody can. It's certainly a lot harder than 561 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 1: it looks. But I think probably Jason ausis been a 562 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: little bit too much time on social media caring what 563 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: people thought, and I think that's what gets a lot 564 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,479 Speaker 1: of people in our line of work in trouble, when 565 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: you worry a little bit too much about the people 566 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: hind to keyboard. I also thought, and I did reach 567 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: out to him to try to help him, because I said, 568 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: you're a receiver. You're used to waiting for the ball 569 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 1: to come to you. You have to be a quarterback 570 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: when you do this, you must see an attack. You 571 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: can't wait, and he just he kept waiting. But that's 572 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: really his position. It's you may call on me four 573 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: times a game, but I have to wait. And he wasn't. 574 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: He didn't go after it like Romo steps up. He 575 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 1: can't wait. He's like a kid that's got you know, 576 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: he's had, you know, four sodas. He's just so excited 577 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 1: and it can't wait to tell you what's going to happen. 578 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: And even if he's wrong, he still brings energy there. 579 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: And it's tricky and I don't know, if you look 580 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: at like Drew Brees got hired by NBC. Is he 581 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: a better studio analyst or do you think would he 582 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: be better in the like certain guys can do the booth, 583 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: very few can do the booth well, a lot of 584 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 1: guys can do the studio. And I think that's always 585 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 1: the tricky part of who's the next person you see 586 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: as an analyst, an in game analyst, who's going to 587 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: be successful. You know, you bring up a good point 588 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 1: because I think to your point, we see Breeze sort 589 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: of talking off the cuff as he did with the 590 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: anthem situation and how much it got him in trouble, 591 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: And I don't know if that makes you a little 592 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: bit more gunshy to sort of feel like you can 593 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: put your opinion out there because you see how quickly 594 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: there can be a backlash. And that applies to your 595 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: football take, that can apply to your political take, and 596 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 1: some people are capable of sort of going out there. 597 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 1: And again, I think there has to be an ego, 598 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: in a narcissism behind it, where you are so confident 599 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: in what you're saying, you're not afraid of defending your position. 600 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: So I've always thought Drew is sort of the interesting one. 601 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 1: Like I love Peyton Manning, Peyton Manning. I mean we 602 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 1: even just saw that when they did the golf tournament. 603 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: He's just so good off the cuff. It's natural, it's 604 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 1: not contrived. I think Cam Jordan if you're going to 605 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: look to the Saints locker room. I've done Red carp 606 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 1: with him for NFL Honors. He's amazing. He's done a 607 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: lot of this stuff too, off to the side, just 608 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: on the IG story, so he's done a lot of 609 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: stuff with us. I think he's studio though. I think 610 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: he's studio Jane. I think I think Cam because you 611 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: get more opportunities there and you can tell stories there. 612 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: It's hard to tell the story in a game, and 613 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: I think Cam has that personality. I want to see 614 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: that personality too. I think Philip Rivers might be sneaky 615 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: right in the love Philip Rivers, I would love you know, 616 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 1: it's funny. I haven't actually heard his name really tossed 617 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: out there that much. He is so fun to watch, 618 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: even just has his impassioned speech leaving the Chargers right. Yeah, 619 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: I have so much disrespect for him just as a human. 620 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: When we did the Pro Bowl, his daughters had a 621 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: daddy daughter dance and he flew all the way from 622 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: Orlando back to San Diego and then back again for 623 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 1: the game because he wasn't going to miss his daddy 624 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: daughter dance. How he does all those things, and that 625 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 1: he had the you know, the outfitted van that took 626 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 1: him from San Diego to La so that again that 627 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 1: he wasn't, you know, removing his family from San Diego. 628 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 1: Somethink they had gotten used to. I just I have 629 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: a ton of respect for that guy, and to your point, 630 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: I could listen to him for days and I would 631 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: love to see him bring back the balro. I loved 632 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: that look. I think that the booth has been missing that. 633 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: I just want to get you on record. Does the 634 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 1: NFL season start on time? Good question. I was incredibly 635 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,879 Speaker 1: optimistic about it, Dan, I know that those conversations are 636 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 1: still ongoing. I can't tell you either way, to be 637 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,760 Speaker 1: completely honest, I mean, as reporters, we're having a meeting 638 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: this week to discuss sort of what our assignments look like, 639 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,399 Speaker 1: what does travel look like. I didn't even think about 640 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,400 Speaker 1: it. It It was brought up to me here in Texas 641 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 1: and I now considered in a hot spot state. Our 642 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 1: facilities that are not hot spots gonna let me in. 643 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: Of course, I cover the Cowboys almost ninety nine percent 644 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:51,759 Speaker 1: of time. I had the Titans and the Saints as well. 645 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,919 Speaker 1: But those are all these ongoing discussions that are being had. 646 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: But to your point, I think a lot of people 647 00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,720 Speaker 1: are looking for some answers as we get up closer 648 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 1: to the aline, but I think those are still ongoing. 649 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,399 Speaker 1: It's great to talk to you again, Jane.

I started the show with a story, 666 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,719 Speaker 1: a report with cryptic message from NFL reporters who cover 667 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:05,800 Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins, and they said, basically, there's a story 668 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,920 Speaker 1: coming out about Washington and it's not about the nickname. 669 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:13,839 Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything about this, but these messages, some 670 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,240 Speaker 1: of these tweets that were sent out. You know, Jason 671 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:21,239 Speaker 1: lackinfora well respected NFL reporter for CBS, he put it 672 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 1: out that you're basically everybody kind of had the same 673 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,319 Speaker 1: story without really telling you what the story was, that 674 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 1: there's going to be something explosive coming out of the 675 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 1: Washington Redskins. And they just fired two people over the weekend. 676 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,320 Speaker 1: So you're firing two people in July, which I found interesting. 677 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 1: Maybe it's just a coincidence. I don't know, if there's 678 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,359 Speaker 1: a toxic culture there and that's the story that's coming out. 679 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if changing the nickname as a preemptive 680 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 1: strike to distract from something like that. I don't know, 681 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:58,359 Speaker 1: But pure speculation based off of some of these tweets 682 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,399 Speaker 1: that we've gotten from spectable NFL reporters. Have you seen 683 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 1: anything else on this mcleven, I know you brought these 684 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 1: tweets to my attention this morning. I don't know nothing, 685 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 1: but I'm sure buddy Ethan Cooperson, the stats guy has wow. 686 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,800 Speaker 1: Yeah where Wow? No, I just googled on Twitter. I 687 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 1: haven't seen anything. You come out. You gotta let it go. 688 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 1: I mean Ethan is I mean he's the future. You 689 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,439 Speaker 1: know that, Ethan oh Man, that's what they call him, 690 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:29,120 Speaker 1: like his nickname, the future. Yeah, he's the future. You're Farvan, 691 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 1: He's Aaron Rodgers. No, no, no, you're Alex Smith. And 692 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,760 Speaker 1: he's Patrick Mahomes. Oh yeah, I'm Mary Rogers. He's Jordan's 693 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,960 Speaker 1: love and say, we'll see how it works out mclovin 694 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,880 Speaker 1: being replaced. Man, what if like there's like a backup 695 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 1: dan Nette that emerges for all of us that could 696 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 1: do what we do. That would be really terrified. We 697 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:55,280 Speaker 1: have lookalikes, well, Seaton and Pollie have lookalikes in Tulsa, Oklahoma. 698 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,320 Speaker 1: And we have a listener who sent in a picture 699 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 1: and I you were floored how much these two guys 700 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 1: look like Seaton and Poly.

Again exposed. Uh, that's 735 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:10,760 Speaker 1: not about a nickname. JP Finley works with NBC locally 736 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,799 Speaker 1: a real busy week and it's not all going to 737 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:21,800 Speaker 1: be about the name. It's not all going to be pretty. 738 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,319 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is a preemptive strike by 739 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 1: Daniel Snyder where he's like, let me get out ahead 740 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:33,640 Speaker 1: of this and let me try to curry some favor here.

We might 743 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 1: as well get ahead and getting some good I just 744 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 1: I'm just wondering that, just wondering that. Not I don't 745 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,719 Speaker 1: have any information, and just one That's one of the 746 00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 1: things I thought of when I first heard it. Adam 747 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:53,719 Speaker 1: and Florida joins us Hi, Adam, what do you have 748 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 1: for me? Hey, I just had a question for you, 749 00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:01,240 Speaker 1: more of a hypothetical. But since that Presque isn't signed 750 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:05,080 Speaker 1: and it seems like neither are gonna you know, Bend, Yeah, 751 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:10,520 Speaker 1: do you think that he'll be the quarterback of the 752 00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:13,400 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a year or two? Because Brady's 753 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:17,200 Speaker 1: only a two year contract and it'd be a perfect scenario. 754 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:21,319 Speaker 1: We got a good offense, pretty good upcoming defense. So 755 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,080 Speaker 1: maybe he's holding out for a huge contract and then, 756 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,279 Speaker 1: like you said, he'll be thirty years old. He could 757 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,359 Speaker 1: be the quarterback down here in Tampa. I just wanted 758 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:32,399 Speaker 1: your thoughts on that. I have no idea. Well, maybe 759 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:37,080 Speaker 1: it's Deshaun Watson who ends up there Bowldwinkle in Washington. 760 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 1: Hey Bolwinkle, Hey, hey, by ten one seventy five, before, during, 761 00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:48,840 Speaker 1: and after the virus. I had an idea. I shared 762 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,920 Speaker 1: this with Marvin, and I think it'd be an interesting segment. 763 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 1: I think you should have the M and M segment 764 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:58,480 Speaker 1: with him and m Areo and they could have a 765 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:03,640 Speaker 1: big maybe once a week, maybe twice a week. Wait, wait, Bullwinkle, 766 00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 1: thank you, no wonder. Marvin put him through as a 767 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:10,279 Speaker 1: phone call so Marvin could get more FaceTime with Ario.
