0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:46.800

<v Speaker 1>if you do have an April fools Day joke and

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:01.720
<v Speaker 1>you're in the business, you got to make sure it's

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 1>a clever one. You can't go Tiger is not playing

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 1>in the Masters, and you have to make it where

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:10.840
<v Speaker 1>it's or maybe vice versa. You got to make it

0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:15.160
<v Speaker 1>where it's cute. It's interesting, it's different, not something that

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>is really headline worthy, where it does change how people

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 1>approach you a story. And you know, the greatest one

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.880
<v Speaker 1>of all time was Sports Illustrated when they created this

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:34.480
<v Speaker 1>fictional baseball character Sid Finch, SidD Finch, and this was

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.160
<v Speaker 1>the great Frank to Ford. And it was wonderful because

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 1>I remember reading it and I went, I can't I

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.359
<v Speaker 1>can't believe this guy throws this hard. Never heard of him.

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.160
<v Speaker 1>And then you started to see some of the breadcrumbs

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 1>there that we're leading you to. It's April Fool's Day,

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 1>but you dive into that article and you just kept

0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.040
<v Speaker 1>turning the page and going, oh my god, I can't

0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 1>wait to see this guy. Well, I think they said

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.640
<v Speaker 1>he threw one hundred forty eight miles an hour. That

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.000
<v Speaker 1>should have been the tip off, but you wanted to

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:07.760
<v Speaker 1>believe it. By the way, it's also my puppy. It's

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Winnie's birthday to day. Winnie turns one to day and

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 1>if you're watching on Peacock, Tyler, who takes care of

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Winnie in the morning, plays with Winnie, is wearing the

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 1>pajamas that we got him for Christmas. My wife got

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Winnie's face on his pajamas, So Tyler is wearing his

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 1>pajamas today. Poll question, play of the day, stat of

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 1>the day seating What kind of poll question do you

0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:34.680
<v Speaker 1>have for special day for young Winnie? By the way,

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 1>buy any dog treats, say fifty percent on the I

0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.680

0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Who had the best week? Jannis Ante to Kumpo Bobby

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 1>we like showing off by pronouncing his name correctly, maybe

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 1>a little bit Okay, Yeah, I'm sorry. So that first

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 1>option was Jannis Ante to Compo Bobby Wagner coach k

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Todd Bowles. I'm gonna throw Shaheen Holloway on there because

0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 1>see that jumped from Saint Peter's de Seaton Hall. It's

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.920
<v Speaker 1>pretty nice. Other he got any other suggestions? Who else

0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 1>had a big week this week? Tiger Tiger had I

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.600
<v Speaker 1>think had a good week, potentially a good week, potentially

0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.320
<v Speaker 1>a good week. See I think the Greek freak. If

0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at bigger picture, I know that the Greek

0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Freak in a couple of weeks could win the MVP

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.200
<v Speaker 1>based off which happened this past week that he took

0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:31.719
<v Speaker 1>down the seventy six ers, in Joe Lnb took down

0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:35.400
<v Speaker 1>the nets KD this we might look back on this

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.840
<v Speaker 1>and say won the MVP in those two games, maybe

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Todd Bowles. You know, I'm glad that Todd Bowles is

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 1>getting a second chance. Anybody who coaches the Jets should

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 1>always get a second chance with another quality team. Yes point,

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:51.400
<v Speaker 1>But most guys when they get a chance to be

0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:53.840
<v Speaker 1>a head coach, they're taking over team where the team

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.159
<v Speaker 1>stinks and a coach has been fired. How many guys

0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.919
<v Speaker 1>get handed a team with Tom Brady and a top

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 1>three favorite to in the Super Bowl. Yes, I know,

0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:05.040
<v Speaker 1>doesn't happen, and I'm glad that he got that opportunity.

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.440
<v Speaker 1>Mike Tomlin going into the Steelers got an opportunity to

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 1>take over a blue blood franchise there. But Todd Bowles

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>takes over for Bruce Arians and you got Tom Brady

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:19.840
<v Speaker 1>at least for another year. What else do you have, Seaton, Well,

0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 1>we have another one for a little later on that

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that I'm ready to get into. It's

0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:28.159
<v Speaker 1>a little more personal personal, perhaps to my back row mate.

0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh this is Todd related. Is this hour two Todd related?

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.279
<v Speaker 1>Depending on how you want our three to go? Oh,

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 1>is it going to take over the show? I don't

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:41.240
<v Speaker 1>know if it's going to take over the show, but

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.760
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna that's gonna dominate his mind space for sure. Oh,

0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:47.240
<v Speaker 1>we don't want that as late as we can in

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 1>the show. I don't want to ruin his week. Yeah,

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.680
<v Speaker 1>all right, so that'll be a little bit later on.

0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:54.960
<v Speaker 1>By the way, back in twenty seventeen, Yankees look like

0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:58.520
<v Speaker 1>contenders for the World Series. Unfortunately for them, they ran

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.479
<v Speaker 1>into the Houston ast That was the same year the

0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Astros were spanked for stealing signs. That story hasn't gone away,

0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 1>because yesterday the Yankees GM Brian Cashman threw more fuel

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 1>on that fire. He claims the only reason the Yankees

0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 1>haven't made a World Series since two thousand and nine

0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:20.280
<v Speaker 1>was due to the Astros actions in twenty seventeen. That's right,

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:22.920
<v Speaker 1>I'll say it again. The only reason the Yankees haven't

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.400
<v Speaker 1>made it to a World Series since O nine was

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 1>due to what Houston did in twenty seventeen. We know

0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:32.560
<v Speaker 1>what Houston did was wrong, but the Yankees calling out

0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.559
<v Speaker 1>Houston is just a little bit like the pot calling

0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 1>the kettle black because guests who was fined that same

0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:43.800
<v Speaker 1>season for stealing signs? You're New York Yankees. But the

0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:46.599
<v Speaker 1>story has been swept under the rug. But unfortunately for

0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:50.120
<v Speaker 1>the Yankees, the US Second Circuit Court ruled a letter

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.600
<v Speaker 1>containing information on the Yankees sign stealing has to be

0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:57.359
<v Speaker 1>made public, and New York better hope that document doesn't

0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.960
<v Speaker 1>implicate them any further, because if it does, the Yankee

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:02.840
<v Speaker 1>finger pointing the past five years is going to be

0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:07.120
<v Speaker 1>a really, really bad look for them. Now. The article

0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:11.440
<v Speaker 1>was in The Athletic. Andy McCullough wrote an article on

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 1>the Yankees and Brian Cashman, and Brian Cashman said the

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 1>only thing that stopped us was something that was so

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 1>illegal and horrific. Cashman told The Athletic. So I get

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:25.560
<v Speaker 1>offended when I started hearing we haven't been to the

0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:28.320
<v Speaker 1>World Series since O nine, because I'm like, well, I

0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:31.280
<v Speaker 1>think we actually did it the right way, pulled it down,

0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.880
<v Speaker 1>brought it back up, drafted well, traded, well developed, well

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.480
<v Speaker 1>signed well. The only thing that derailed us was a

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:42.800
<v Speaker 1>cheating circumstance that threw us off. He goes on to

0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.400
<v Speaker 1>say people are like, oh, we haven't been to a

0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.960
<v Speaker 1>World Series, and I'm like, yeah, I don't think that's

0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.920
<v Speaker 1>a true statement as it could be. We had a

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.880
<v Speaker 1>World Series team and you either get it done or

0:07:54.000 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 1>you don't. Well, there's a couple of things here. He

0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:04.080
<v Speaker 1>has a point about that year, but the previous years.

0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:08.160
<v Speaker 1>What does that have to do with twenty seventeen. If

0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:11.680
<v Speaker 1>the Mets have been to more World Series then the

0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Yankees have in the last decade, I gotta do some

0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 1>finger pointing at the Yankees. I think you've spent a

0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:21.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of money. How's that gen Carlos Stanton investment working there?

0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.840
<v Speaker 1>You've spent money, You've had money to spend, and now

0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:29.560
<v Speaker 1>you have some competition because the Dodgers are now, oh

0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 1>we'll take Freddie Freeman, Carlos Correa, the Twins got him.

0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:37.880
<v Speaker 1>You don't even have a shortstop. So I have to

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:42.240
<v Speaker 1>look at this that. Okay, Astros cheated. They won a

0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:45.839
<v Speaker 1>World Series title, all right, fair, Okay. You know who

0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:47.800
<v Speaker 1>was the ring leader or one of the main ring

0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:51.679
<v Speaker 1>leaders for the Astros and the cheating scandal. Carlos Beltron.

0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Guess which team he was with prior to joining the Astros.

0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:01.559
<v Speaker 1>The Yankees. He'd just all of a sudden, go, hey,

0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:05.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to Houston. Hey what about cheating? Did they

0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.880
<v Speaker 1>do anything nefarious with the Yankees there? How about some

0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 1>of the players you've employed. You won a World Series

0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:16.559
<v Speaker 1>title with Aron and Andy Pettitt. So this is brought

0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:19.679
<v Speaker 1>up by Brian. I didn't bring it up. Ryan did.

0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:24.720
<v Speaker 1>And nobody's feeling sorry for the Yankees. I mean, it's

0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.520
<v Speaker 1>really hard to go. You know, I feel sorry for

0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:32.520
<v Speaker 1>the Yankees. Maybe that year, okay, but the other years

0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 1>I can't. It's not like you you haven't been in

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.160
<v Speaker 1>the World Series prior to twenty seventeen because you kept

0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.480
<v Speaker 1>thinking in your mind somewhere down the road, somebody's gonna

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.719
<v Speaker 1>be stealing signs, and that's why we're not going to

0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:45.880
<v Speaker 1>be in the World Series for you know, these eight

0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:49.280
<v Speaker 1>years prior to Yeah, pauling the other thing. Having two

0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:51.320
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty million dollars to spend every year, it

0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:54.840
<v Speaker 1>makes us so confusing. Who by yeah, let me see,

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.960
<v Speaker 1>do we want Garrett Cole? Okay, we'll take one of those,

0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:00.520
<v Speaker 1>and we'll take one of those. That's the way it

0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:04.000
<v Speaker 1>used to be. So all of those you know, World

0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Series titles where you not only we're drafting players developing players,

0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:12.720
<v Speaker 1>you kept all of those players because I hear Yankee

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:16.600
<v Speaker 1>fans going, hey, you know they developed Jeter and Bernie

0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Williams and Nandy Petton, they drafted them, and they're like, yes,

0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 1>but all the other teams, you know, the smaller markets,

0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:26.800
<v Speaker 1>they developed players, they can't afford to keep them. The

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Yankees keep them. But then they also go, oh, what

0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:33.360
<v Speaker 1>do we need? What do we need? I don't know,

0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 1>how about somebody who can hit fifty home run ge

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:42.160
<v Speaker 1>and Carlos Stanton, Yeah he's a one dimensional player. How

0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:47.200
<v Speaker 1>about three hundred million dollars Marlins couldn't afford him. But man,

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 1>you're asking for sympathy, and you're the Yankees. I think, Brian,

0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:55.960
<v Speaker 1>it's best that you just move on. Here's the thing.

0:10:56.480 --> 0:11:00.280
<v Speaker 1>If you have your point there, don't let it get

0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:03.199
<v Speaker 1>clouded with all the other stuff that's gonna surround it. Here.

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Twenty seventeen has nothing to do with what you did

0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:10.160
<v Speaker 1>the previous eight years where you didn't win a World Series,

0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:16.080
<v Speaker 1>go to a World Series. But the Yankees pleading not

0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:24.320
<v Speaker 1>poverty but maybe sympathy. Find that little hypocritical there, Yes,

0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Seaton O'Connor. It really doesn't even matter. If they did

0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:29.280
<v Speaker 1>go to the World Series anyway, they could have won

0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:31.719
<v Speaker 1>every single one of those all they could have won

0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:33.520
<v Speaker 1>eight straight years and it would have been well, yeah,

0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 1>but you bought them. I mean we led the whole

0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:37.360
<v Speaker 1>segment into how much money they spend. So it's like,

0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:40.320
<v Speaker 1>what does it even matter? It doesn't. Yeah, they're supposed

0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:43.600
<v Speaker 1>to win like the Dodgers. You know, when Dave Roberts

0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:45.720
<v Speaker 1>came on and he said, hey, put it, you gonna

0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:47.840
<v Speaker 1>write it down, put in the books, We're gonna win

0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:51.440
<v Speaker 1>the World Series. He should feel that way. They should

0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:54.360
<v Speaker 1>win the World Series. They have a great team. They

0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:58.120
<v Speaker 1>spent money. But the Yankees every year, that's what they do.

<v Speaker 1>at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at dps show.

0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.600
<v Speaker 1>A couple of phone calls in here. Start off with

0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Mark and Texas. Hey Mark, what's on your mind today?

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Hey Dan? First time? Long time? All right, Mark, Well,

0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.640
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to give George Plimpton some credit there because

0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.200
<v Speaker 1>he's the one who wrote the article on Sid Finch.

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh it was Plimpton, not Frank to Ford, my band,

0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Thank you and they explained later in the week, because

0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I remember reading that article and they explained in the

0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.400
<v Speaker 1>next week part of the article. If you took the

0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:37.480
<v Speaker 1>first letter of each of the words in the sentence,

0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:42.160
<v Speaker 1>it's stilled out April fools. Yes, and thank you for

0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:46.880
<v Speaker 1>correcting me on that. We had George Plimpton on a

0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:51.679
<v Speaker 1>week before. How how long was it before we had

0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:53.880
<v Speaker 1>him on and then he passed away? Yeah, the famous

0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:57.920
<v Speaker 1>writer he was in movies to paper Line. We had

0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:01.120
<v Speaker 1>George Plimpton on Friday, on a Sunday. It was his

0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:03.880
<v Speaker 1>last ever interview anywhere, and it was I think it

0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.439
<v Speaker 1>was the anniversary of the movie and book Paper Lion

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:09.720
<v Speaker 1>with Alan Alda was in it vie and we decided

0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:12.080
<v Speaker 1>out of nowhere to have him on and he was

0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:14.240
<v Speaker 1>really good and he died two days later. But if

0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.440
<v Speaker 1>you think about it, here's a writer who played quarterback

0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:22.800
<v Speaker 1>in a preseason game for the Detroit Lions. I mean,

0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:25.960
<v Speaker 1>imagine Peter King playing nose tackle, you know, for the

0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo Bills in a preseason game. All right, maybe, but

0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:33.959
<v Speaker 1>the fact that they allowed him to play, and this

0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.600
<v Speaker 1>is back in the seventies, and he wrote the book

0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Paper Lion and George Plimpton, he got in the game.

0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.560
<v Speaker 1>But remember when a mad Rashad played in an NBA

0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.920
<v Speaker 1>preseason game, and I think he made a basket. But

0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:52.160
<v Speaker 1>a mad Rashad, But a mad Rashad was a spectacular

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:55.520
<v Speaker 1>athlete in the NFL. You know, he was Bobby Moore

0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:59.120
<v Speaker 1>when he came out of Oregon, a great receiver athlete,

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.280
<v Speaker 1>and when he went to the Vikings. But he got

0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:05.080
<v Speaker 1>to play in a preseason game, and I think he

0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:08.800
<v Speaker 1>hit like a baseline jumper. Now that's a little bit

0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:12.760
<v Speaker 1>different than George Plimpton, a writer playing quarterback for the

0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Detroit Lions. Yeah, Paul didn't the didn't Garth Brooks get

0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:18.120
<v Speaker 1>an ending with the Padres and spring training? Yeah, I

0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:22.800
<v Speaker 1>think he was that third base. Yes, he was. Charlie Pride,

0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:29.080
<v Speaker 1>a African American country singer. Charlie Pride could play. He was.

0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.840
<v Speaker 1>I think he got a bass hit in spring training.

0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:35.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if Garth Brooks got a bass hit.

0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:38.400
<v Speaker 1>He might have had a dribbler to third or something. Yeah, Paul,

0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:42.040
<v Speaker 1>George straight once punted for the Cowboys. No he did not.

0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.560
<v Speaker 1>That is not true. That is not true. All right,

0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:48.960
<v Speaker 1>we'll get some more phone calls coming up, and uh,

0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.080
<v Speaker 1>we'll settle on our poll question. We got a lot

0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.960
<v Speaker 1>of people to get to today. Mike Florio a little

0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:57.520
<v Speaker 1>bit later on is did Florio buy into everything that

0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Bruce Arians said yesterday? And I'm gonna guess no, but

0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:07.560
<v Speaker 1>it was kumbaya yesterday, and I'll play I'm even sure

0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:12.160
<v Speaker 1>if he should have shown up? What the heck was that? Marvin?

0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:14.520
<v Speaker 1>What's that old? Sorry? I was trying to get something

0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:19.520
<v Speaker 1>for the timer and my elbow hit the Uh forgive

0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:26.000
<v Speaker 1>me no, Bobby A. Friday, I thought that was mean spirital. Yeah,

0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:27.480
<v Speaker 1>I thought that he went out of his way to

0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:29.680
<v Speaker 1>take a shot that was not Fritzie. I am sorry,

0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.000
<v Speaker 1>that was not on purpose. I'm buying that, like Tom Bray,

0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:33.920
<v Speaker 1>had nothing to do with Bruce Arians being kicked up.

0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:38.720
<v Speaker 1>I guess I'm going wait, that's not Bruce Arians. Paulie,

0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:40.720
<v Speaker 1>did you tell Marvin to do that? We're up against

0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:44.400
<v Speaker 1>a breakdown? Okay, all right, I can't send Todd into

0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:49.440

<v Speaker 1>it just to let people know what you played. I'm

0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:18.520
<v Speaker 1>a journalist here, so this is what Marvin accidentally hit

0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:21.159
<v Speaker 1>in the first segment. He wasn't even sure if he

0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:24.600
<v Speaker 1>should have shown up. So if all of the things

0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:28.719
<v Speaker 1>that you could have accidentally hit, you hit that one. Marvin.

0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:31.679
<v Speaker 1>I mean it was right there. I was trying to,

0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:34.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, get ready for the break, you know we

0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:39.359
<v Speaker 1>set Just say it to Tom, I don't care. Speak

0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:42.280
<v Speaker 1>to the hand. It's Friday, Well, bigger hand than you have,

0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:44.919
<v Speaker 1>But speak to the hand, Fritzie. I'm really sorry. I

0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:47.160
<v Speaker 1>just still can't get over it. That's that's a little

0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:53.320
<v Speaker 1>slap in the face to Fritzie. Slap the US. Big

0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:55.320
<v Speaker 1>hand guys can make that job. Look I wanted to

0:18:55.320 --> 0:19:01.120
<v Speaker 1>take a hands on approach. I've never seen Seaton happier

0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:05.160
<v Speaker 1>prouder when he realized his hands were bigger than Markin.

0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:07.760
<v Speaker 1>I still can't get the smile off my face. It's just,

0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:11.360
<v Speaker 1>you know what's gonna happen at the Christmas party. Our

0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.400
<v Speaker 1>wives are gonna be looking at Marvin's hands like everybody's

0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:18.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna be going. I think when we do, like for

0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:20.000
<v Speaker 1>for Thanksgiving. You know how they used to when you

0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:21.640
<v Speaker 1>were a kid in school, you'd have to trace your

0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:23.760
<v Speaker 1>hand and make a little turkey out of it. I

0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:26.560
<v Speaker 1>think maybe that's what we do. I think that you

0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:29.359
<v Speaker 1>know what. I think we do a T shirt on that.

0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:34.080
<v Speaker 1>We do the Marvin Thanksgiving gobble t shirt with his

0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:42.680
<v Speaker 1>hand and the shirts only come in small. Wow. Everybody

0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:44.959
<v Speaker 1>gets to know, I got your back. Appreciate all right,

0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:46.920
<v Speaker 1>I jump right on him. I just wanted to tuck

0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:48.800
<v Speaker 1>in those giant elbows so that doesn't happen. To know

0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:51.000
<v Speaker 1>if he's going through you know to you, he's got

0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:53.640
<v Speaker 1>to go through me first, right? All right? Got that right?

0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:58.679
<v Speaker 1>Are happening? That really is an unbelievable piece of audio.

0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:03.239
<v Speaker 1>You don't want it as a journalist. Let me play him,

0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:06.280
<v Speaker 1>but just one more time. He wasn't even sure if

0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:09.520
<v Speaker 1>he should have shown up. That's insane that that's what

0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:12.800
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't even cool if he could have shown up, unreal,

0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:15.919
<v Speaker 1>and then Todd thought that we doctored it. There are

0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:18.360
<v Speaker 1>people like with braces and all kinds of night night

0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:20.359
<v Speaker 1>plates and all kinds of things that sound much clearer

0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:22.840
<v Speaker 1>than that. That's really disturbing. Yes, Paul, I'm dying to

0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:25.479
<v Speaker 1>books d Sarkisian for I don't care if it's football

0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:30.280
<v Speaker 1>season whatever. He just won't say his name I'll point

0:20:30.320 --> 0:20:31.879
<v Speaker 1>to the board, but if that guy's coming on in

0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:34.240
<v Speaker 1>the eleven o'clock, you'll just say, hey, coach, how are you?

0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:37.439
<v Speaker 1>That's it all righty? Some phone calls coming up. By

0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:40.440
<v Speaker 1>the way, The Greek Freak finished with forty four last night,

0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:43.840
<v Speaker 1>and the defending champion Bucks clinched a return to the

0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:48.480
<v Speaker 1>playoff with that win. And in the win over the Nets,

0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:52.679
<v Speaker 1>the Greek Freak moved past Kareem Abdul Jabbar to become

0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:55.760
<v Speaker 1>the Bucks all time leading score with just over for

0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:59.920
<v Speaker 1>fourteen thousand points. He hit two free throws with three

0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:03.200
<v Speaker 1>seconds to go in overtime, giving the Bucks that one

0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:06.480
<v Speaker 1>point win over the net. And that's another thing. I

0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:09.639
<v Speaker 1>know that I fawn all over the Greek free but

0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:13.440
<v Speaker 1>in large part because he came out of nowhere, came

0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:17.040
<v Speaker 1>over here and then worked each year and getting better,

0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:19.440
<v Speaker 1>and you could see that he was getting better every

0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:23.359
<v Speaker 1>single year. But he hasn't stopped. This is his ninth

0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:27.880
<v Speaker 1>year and he's shooting I think seventy one seventy two

0:21:27.880 --> 0:21:31.159
<v Speaker 1>percent from the free throw one remember when that was

0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:35.520
<v Speaker 1>a big deal. He's shooting around twelve free throws per game.

0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:39.520
<v Speaker 1>And if he starts to creep up to seventy five,

0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:42.840
<v Speaker 1>seventy six. You know Karl Malone did this. Karl Malone

0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:45.399
<v Speaker 1>came in. I think he shot fifty one percent his

0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:48.960
<v Speaker 1>first year. Carl Malone then became a knocked down free

0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:51.879
<v Speaker 1>throw shooter. And if you're going to go into the playoffs,

0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:54.280
<v Speaker 1>go deep into the playoffs, deep into a game in

0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:58.119
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs, can you make free throws? And we've seen

0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:00.760
<v Speaker 1>where there are a lot of big time players in

0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:03.720
<v Speaker 1>those moments don't make those free throws. But the Greek

0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:09.040
<v Speaker 1>free remember we would count how long one, two, three?

0:22:09.440 --> 0:22:13.760
<v Speaker 1>You don't have that. And plus his shot looks so

0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:18.200
<v Speaker 1>much better. And I'm looking at his jumpers outside jumper.

0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:23.040
<v Speaker 1>It looks so much smoother, not mechanical, there's fluidity to that.

0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:26.680
<v Speaker 1>I think that he won the MVP this past week.

0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:30.320
<v Speaker 1>I really do. I think when you make signature wins,

0:22:30.840 --> 0:22:34.080
<v Speaker 1>big time wins against the nets and also the seventy

0:22:34.080 --> 0:22:39.119
<v Speaker 1>six ers, I think he won the MVP. Really do. Yeah, PAULI,

0:22:39.440 --> 0:22:40.919
<v Speaker 1>I've got a list here. I think you'll like this.

0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:44.159
<v Speaker 1>The leading score in the history of every NBA franchise,

0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:47.719
<v Speaker 1>Oh boy, And we won't go through all of them, Okay,

0:22:47.800 --> 0:22:51.400
<v Speaker 1>here's some of the easy. The easy ones Cocka Bulls,

0:22:51.440 --> 0:22:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Michael George Yep, Cleveland Cavaliers, Lebron and the Dallas Mavericks

0:22:57.240 --> 0:23:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Durknabitsky Okay. Here's the tougher ones. Oh man, these are tough.

0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:08.439
<v Speaker 1>Um the Phoenix Suns, Dan old school guy Alvin Adams, No,

0:23:09.440 --> 0:23:14.960
<v Speaker 1>the Greyhound, Tom Chambers, Walter Davis, Phoenix Sun. Well, here's

0:23:14.960 --> 0:23:18.480
<v Speaker 1>a I wouldn't have gotten that one. Philadelphia seventy six ers,

0:23:19.359 --> 0:23:25.919
<v Speaker 1>not a nope. Um, I was gonna say, how greer.

0:23:25.960 --> 0:23:28.080
<v Speaker 1>You would be right if you said, hell Greer? Okay,

0:23:28.480 --> 0:23:33.159
<v Speaker 1>Orlando Magic, leading scorer in the franchise history. Kind of

0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:35.159
<v Speaker 1>surprising because it's what this gentleman is known for. It.

0:23:35.160 --> 0:23:44.400
<v Speaker 1>But it's the hints. M m uh Scott Skiles, Dwight Howard,

0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, Oh Marve okay. I didn't see your small

0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:50.080
<v Speaker 1>hand when you raised it, So that's that was a

0:23:50.119 --> 0:23:53.879
<v Speaker 1>problem there. Yeah, here's a toughie. This might find the

0:23:54.320 --> 0:23:58.359
<v Speaker 1>two tough ones, all right, the La Clippers. See, I

0:23:58.400 --> 0:23:59.840
<v Speaker 1>knew you were going to bring that one up. I

0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:03.320
<v Speaker 1>think it's seventies, early eighties and not a household man.

0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:13.800
<v Speaker 1>It's not Freeman Williams um On Chambers, who's there? Um

0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:21.679
<v Speaker 1>hella clipping? That's the Los Angeles Clipper. Okay, Randy Smith,

0:24:21.720 --> 0:24:24.320
<v Speaker 1>a gentleman named Randy Smith played with the Buffalo Brave.

0:24:24.520 --> 0:24:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Erry did Memphis Grizzlies. I'll take your word for it.

0:24:27.720 --> 0:24:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Memphis Grizzlies. More of a passer played there a long time. Uh,

0:24:34.880 --> 0:24:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Mike Conley's crack. All right, here's the hammer. If you

0:24:38.920 --> 0:24:42.320
<v Speaker 1>get this, what a six pack of the beer you

0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:45.760
<v Speaker 1>of your choice? Okay? The all time leading score in

0:24:45.800 --> 0:24:49.639
<v Speaker 1>the Brooklyn Nets franchise, not the Nets franchise history, the

0:24:49.840 --> 0:24:55.959
<v Speaker 1>Brooklyn Nets franchise history, so not, you're removing New Jersey. Okay,

0:24:57.640 --> 0:25:01.399
<v Speaker 1>Brooklyn Nets all time leading score. I was shocked by this.

0:25:03.800 --> 0:25:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Do you want to hand him? Mcloven insulted him on

0:25:07.760 --> 0:25:11.040
<v Speaker 1>national TV and radio. I was gonna say, Joe Johnson, No,

0:25:11.119 --> 0:25:17.280
<v Speaker 1>I insulted, Oh you did. Mclovin made fun of him

0:25:17.520 --> 0:25:21.640
<v Speaker 1>brook Lopez, brook Lopez. Oh, that's right. I remember when

0:25:22.040 --> 0:25:25.160
<v Speaker 1>mclovin made fun of brook Lopez is major at Stanford? Yeah,

0:25:25.160 --> 0:25:26.800
<v Speaker 1>he said, he goes, what was your major at Stanford?

0:25:26.800 --> 0:25:28.879
<v Speaker 1>He goes creative writing goes. Isn't that a hobby not

0:25:28.920 --> 0:25:31.960
<v Speaker 1>a major. Brook Lopez all time leading score in NETS

0:25:31.960 --> 0:25:35.320
<v Speaker 1>history still okay. The other ones are pretty easy. Reggie Miller,

0:25:35.359 --> 0:25:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Dominique Wilkins, John Havilcheck, etc. Etter hall Check is the

0:25:40.359 --> 0:25:43.679
<v Speaker 1>all time leading score like Paul Pierce didn't pass him.

0:25:43.760 --> 0:25:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Huh no, and Lairbird retired a little early because Halcheck

0:25:48.359 --> 0:25:51.800
<v Speaker 1>had around twenty seven thousand, and that's correct, just under yeah,

0:25:51.880 --> 0:25:55.199
<v Speaker 1>twenty six seven ninety four or something like that. I

0:25:55.200 --> 0:25:58.600
<v Speaker 1>don't know. Okay, that's pretty good, good game, Uh, thank you.

0:25:58.640 --> 0:26:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Paul Bruce Sarian said goodbye to coaching yesterday and he

0:26:03.920 --> 0:26:07.040
<v Speaker 1>had this to say about that decision. When you know

0:26:07.080 --> 0:26:10.800
<v Speaker 1>it's time, it's time, and no better time that right now.

0:26:11.000 --> 0:26:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Three years ago, sitting antis podium, we talked about creating

0:26:14.960 --> 0:26:17.720
<v Speaker 1>a culture, a winning atmosphere that we're going to do

0:26:17.720 --> 0:26:20.240
<v Speaker 1>it our way. We're gonna be fast, we're gonna be physical,

0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:23.600
<v Speaker 1>and we're gonna be smart, and it's paid off. And

0:26:23.640 --> 0:26:27.480
<v Speaker 1>then he was asked about Tom brady decision to his retirement.

0:26:28.400 --> 0:26:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Thought about it after the season, but again it wasn't

0:26:31.960 --> 0:26:35.000
<v Speaker 1>right going through the combine, going through all that process,

0:26:35.880 --> 0:26:39.040
<v Speaker 1>trying to build next year's team, without Tom, and then

0:26:39.040 --> 0:26:43.600
<v Speaker 1>when Tom said he'd come back. Now it's easy. Now

0:26:43.600 --> 0:26:45.720
<v Speaker 1>it's easy. We're in the best shape we've ever been.

0:26:46.400 --> 0:26:48.640
<v Speaker 1>It's no better time to pass the tors than now.

0:26:49.160 --> 0:26:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what February brings, all right, but I

0:26:51.520 --> 0:26:54.120
<v Speaker 1>know what today brings, and it makes me really happy.

0:26:54.440 --> 0:26:57.439
<v Speaker 1>He was also asked after he was done with his

0:26:57.600 --> 0:27:01.280
<v Speaker 1>initial comments, they took questions his relationship with Tom Brady.

0:27:01.800 --> 0:27:03.400
<v Speaker 1>At all the players who are there are a few

0:27:03.440 --> 0:27:05.760
<v Speaker 1>in here. Every one of them's gotten cast out, all right,

0:27:05.800 --> 0:27:09.320
<v Speaker 1>including him. So that's just part of me, you know.

0:27:09.560 --> 0:27:12.320
<v Speaker 1>So that's nothing new. But we have a great relationship.

0:27:12.400 --> 0:27:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean as soon as he retired. I think we

0:27:14.600 --> 0:27:16.520
<v Speaker 1>text every week. Hey where are you at? What are

0:27:16.560 --> 0:27:18.720
<v Speaker 1>you doing when you're gonna play golf? When you're getting

0:27:18.720 --> 0:27:23.280
<v Speaker 1>back down this way? And so people gotta right, it

0:27:23.400 --> 0:27:26.960
<v Speaker 1>couldn't be further from the truth. Well, that person he's

0:27:26.960 --> 0:27:30.639
<v Speaker 1>talking about is Mike Florio, and Bruce Arians had this

0:27:30.720 --> 0:27:33.439
<v Speaker 1>to say about Florio. It's been great working with you

0:27:33.440 --> 0:27:36.520
<v Speaker 1>guys in the press. You've been fantastic all over the country.

0:27:36.840 --> 0:27:40.679
<v Speaker 1>All right, Florio, you can write what you want. It's okay.

0:27:40.920 --> 0:27:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Floria was going to join his coming up. I don't

0:27:43.800 --> 0:27:47.880
<v Speaker 1>think Mike's buying into this, that this was all orchestrated,

0:27:47.960 --> 0:27:51.480
<v Speaker 1>all planned, all scheduled. Hey, I was gonna announce my

0:27:51.560 --> 0:27:55.199
<v Speaker 1>retirement even though Tom's coming back announced the time. I

0:27:55.280 --> 0:27:57.720
<v Speaker 1>understand if you want to set up Todd Bowles. I

0:27:57.800 --> 0:28:02.159
<v Speaker 1>understand that Bruce arians has been a leader, He's been

0:28:02.160 --> 0:28:04.800
<v Speaker 1>at the forefront with diversity on his coaching staff. I

0:28:04.840 --> 0:28:07.359
<v Speaker 1>certainly understand that. I just don't know if he was

0:28:07.400 --> 0:28:12.160
<v Speaker 1>given the autonomy to pick his successor. Because if I'm

0:28:12.200 --> 0:28:15.919
<v Speaker 1>the owners, I'm the Glazer family. I'd like to be

0:28:15.960 --> 0:28:20.760
<v Speaker 1>involved in this process here, and I'd still love to

0:28:20.800 --> 0:28:23.439
<v Speaker 1>know what Tom Brady was doing in England when he

0:28:23.520 --> 0:28:27.399
<v Speaker 1>was meeting with the Glazer family. I don't think he

0:28:27.440 --> 0:28:32.840
<v Speaker 1>went there to meet Ronaldo, but I have to believe

0:28:32.840 --> 0:28:36.960
<v Speaker 1>that they were discussing something a bigger picture. There just guessing,

0:28:37.720 --> 0:28:40.160
<v Speaker 1>and if you're going to discuss something, you go right

0:28:40.200 --> 0:28:43.280
<v Speaker 1>to the top, you go to the ownership, and he

0:28:43.440 --> 0:28:46.480
<v Speaker 1>had that opportunity to do that. Do I think there's

0:28:46.520 --> 0:28:49.640
<v Speaker 1>more to that? There is? You know what happens when

0:28:49.640 --> 0:28:52.760
<v Speaker 1>you realize that maybe a story doesn't quite sync up,

0:28:53.600 --> 0:28:56.240
<v Speaker 1>then you become a little more obsessed in getting to

0:28:56.360 --> 0:29:00.160
<v Speaker 1>the answer that you want the right answer here, Like

0:29:00.200 --> 0:29:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Malcolm Butler, I still want answers to it. It's not

0:29:02.720 --> 0:29:05.800
<v Speaker 1>going to change my life, change my day. But there's

0:29:05.880 --> 0:29:08.720
<v Speaker 1>part of you that's like, why was he suspended at

0:29:08.720 --> 0:29:13.160
<v Speaker 1>the Super Bowl? Right? Why is Bruce Arians not coaching?

0:29:13.800 --> 0:29:16.480
<v Speaker 1>It may not matter, but then there's part of you like,

0:29:17.240 --> 0:29:21.200
<v Speaker 1>did Tom Brady want Todd Bulls? You can like somebody

0:29:21.720 --> 0:29:24.440
<v Speaker 1>but may not want to work with him or not

0:29:24.560 --> 0:29:27.280
<v Speaker 1>work well with him. I didn't work well with Stewart Scott.

0:29:28.320 --> 0:29:31.560
<v Speaker 1>We just didn't match up. We were too competitive, But

0:29:31.880 --> 0:29:37.840
<v Speaker 1>socially we were fine. I enjoyed his company. But you know,

0:29:38.120 --> 0:29:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Tom golfing with Bruce Arians okay, But as far as

0:29:42.040 --> 0:29:44.160
<v Speaker 1>how he was as a head coach to him, that

0:29:44.200 --> 0:29:48.400
<v Speaker 1>could be different. Yeah. Seton. So if you're the Buccaneers, right,

0:29:48.640 --> 0:29:51.560
<v Speaker 1>we're sort of like following the storylines that have been developing.

0:29:52.040 --> 0:29:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady retires because ultimately he really wants to end

0:29:54.920 --> 0:29:58.320
<v Speaker 1>up with the forty nine ers and quarterback there at

0:29:58.400 --> 0:30:01.200
<v Speaker 1>least we're led to believe that that's a possibility, right,

0:30:01.240 --> 0:30:04.200
<v Speaker 1>So he wants to He actually wants out of Tampa

0:30:04.360 --> 0:30:05.800
<v Speaker 1>and he wants to go to the forty nine ers.

0:30:05.800 --> 0:30:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Then he realizes he can't do that, right, Yes, So

0:30:09.280 --> 0:30:12.360
<v Speaker 1>then now the Buccaneers, knowing that Tom Brady actually wants

0:30:12.400 --> 0:30:15.080
<v Speaker 1>to leave instead, they blow out their coach because they

0:30:15.080 --> 0:30:16.680
<v Speaker 1>asked him too, and put in the coach that he

0:30:16.720 --> 0:30:19.160
<v Speaker 1>asked them to, even though that coach just got them

0:30:19.160 --> 0:30:23.960
<v Speaker 1>a Super Bowl ring. Yeah, but you can tire of somebody.

0:30:24.680 --> 0:30:27.160
<v Speaker 1>He might be good for you, but you can tire.

0:30:27.600 --> 0:30:30.280
<v Speaker 1>You know. The whole thing with Brady going to Tampa Bay,

0:30:31.320 --> 0:30:34.400
<v Speaker 1>he wanted to have fun. That was the whole message.

0:30:34.480 --> 0:30:36.760
<v Speaker 1>He wants to have fun, gets to pick his roster,

0:30:36.880 --> 0:30:38.960
<v Speaker 1>all of those things. But now the message is Bruce

0:30:39.000 --> 0:30:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Arians wasn't serious enough for him. Yeah, so I thought

0:30:42.200 --> 0:30:43.680
<v Speaker 1>he was having fun and then he went and what

0:30:43.800 --> 0:30:45.800
<v Speaker 1>is too much fun winning? I don't. I don't know

0:30:45.840 --> 0:30:49.280
<v Speaker 1>if he was having fun. I don't. I don't think

0:30:49.280 --> 0:30:51.640
<v Speaker 1>he liked well, I can ask Florio about this. We'll

0:30:51.680 --> 0:30:54.719
<v Speaker 1>take a break. We'll talk to Mike Florio, and I

0:30:54.760 --> 0:30:57.840
<v Speaker 1>think he was very, very proud that he got called

0:30:57.840 --> 0:31:01.240
<v Speaker 1>out by Bruce Arians. We'll talk to Florial. More phone

0:32:25.040 --> 0:32:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Florio joining us in the news yesterdays. Bruce Arians and

0:32:29.800 --> 0:32:31.960
<v Speaker 1>one of his last things that he said as the

0:32:32.040 --> 0:32:36.560
<v Speaker 1>head coach of the Buccaneers called out Florio and said that, well,

0:32:36.760 --> 0:32:39.000
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and you can write about it. Mike, what

0:32:39.080 --> 0:32:42.120
<v Speaker 1>did you make of Bruce Arians yesterday? Yeah, I'm sitting

0:32:42.120 --> 0:32:45.480
<v Speaker 1>there minded my own business, Dan in my office working

0:32:45.520 --> 0:32:50.600
<v Speaker 1>on PFT, got a window opened with the Buccaneers press conference.

0:32:50.640 --> 0:32:52.760
<v Speaker 1>And I mean if I'd had a mouthful of water

0:32:52.880 --> 0:32:54.800
<v Speaker 1>or coffee or well it was too early to have

0:32:54.840 --> 0:32:56.760
<v Speaker 1>anything stronger than that, I would have spit it all

0:32:56.760 --> 0:32:59.840
<v Speaker 1>over the computer screen. I couldn't believe it. And look,

0:33:00.040 --> 0:33:04.720
<v Speaker 1>I like it. It just shows that they read and

0:33:04.760 --> 0:33:07.200
<v Speaker 1>they heed, and they listen and they pay attention. And

0:33:07.760 --> 0:33:11.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure he's not thrilled with my speculation slash somewhat

0:33:11.640 --> 0:33:15.720
<v Speaker 1>informed discussion of how this all came to be. But

0:33:16.120 --> 0:33:19.880
<v Speaker 1>any chance that you know, the way he announced his

0:33:20.000 --> 0:33:25.120
<v Speaker 1>retirement is actually real, like it's true? Well, when has

0:33:25.160 --> 0:33:27.560
<v Speaker 1>this ever happened? First of all, so first time since

0:33:27.720 --> 0:33:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Johnson left the Cowboys in March of nineteen ninety four,

0:33:32.720 --> 0:33:35.360
<v Speaker 1>that a coach has exited this late in the cycle,

0:33:35.720 --> 0:33:38.840
<v Speaker 1>None of it adds up. He was all in, He

0:33:38.920 --> 0:33:41.680
<v Speaker 1>was at the scouting combine, he was involved, he was

0:33:41.720 --> 0:33:44.560
<v Speaker 1>involved in free agency, and the idea that tom Brady

0:33:44.640 --> 0:33:47.040
<v Speaker 1>coming back caused him to say now is the time

0:33:47.040 --> 0:33:49.200
<v Speaker 1>to leave. Of anything, it would cause him to say,

0:33:49.200 --> 0:33:51.880
<v Speaker 1>now is the time to stay. I was worried about

0:33:51.920 --> 0:33:54.320
<v Speaker 1>what we're gonna do without tom Brady. Now tom Brady

0:33:54.440 --> 0:33:56.520
<v Speaker 1>is back in seventeen days after this was the key

0:33:56.520 --> 0:34:00.480
<v Speaker 1>for me. Dam Seventeen days after tom Brady he ends

0:34:00.480 --> 0:34:04.440
<v Speaker 1>a forty day retirement, Bruce Arians is out, and there's

0:34:04.480 --> 0:34:07.720
<v Speaker 1>never even the most remote suggestion that Tom Brady is

0:34:07.720 --> 0:34:12.040
<v Speaker 1>troubled by that. Doesn't that tell us kind of everything

0:34:12.080 --> 0:34:14.640
<v Speaker 1>we need to know? And I think we're underrating what

0:34:14.640 --> 0:34:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Bruce Arians means to the football team on game day.

0:34:17.000 --> 0:34:19.000
<v Speaker 1>But the fundamental problem here, I think arose from the

0:34:19.040 --> 0:34:22.200
<v Speaker 1>fact that Arians wasn't involved with the team most of

0:34:22.200 --> 0:34:26.360
<v Speaker 1>the time, and that he would show up and become involved.

0:34:26.360 --> 0:34:28.720
<v Speaker 1>And at a certain point, the folks who are grinding

0:34:28.760 --> 0:34:30.719
<v Speaker 1>every day, busting their asses every day are going to

0:34:30.800 --> 0:34:33.239
<v Speaker 1>resent that, and I think that's where some of this

0:34:33.360 --> 0:34:37.120
<v Speaker 1>professional friction came from. Doesn't mean there's personal friction. You know.

0:34:37.160 --> 0:34:39.799
<v Speaker 1>The arians fallback is we get along fine. Well, There's

0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:41.840
<v Speaker 1>been plenty of people I've worked with over the years.

0:34:42.080 --> 0:34:44.480
<v Speaker 1>I love him personally, Professionally, I just can't work with

0:34:44.520 --> 0:34:47.840
<v Speaker 1>you anymore. It's possible that those two things can exist.

0:34:48.880 --> 0:34:51.520
<v Speaker 1>What do you think happened when Brady went to London

0:34:52.960 --> 0:34:57.719
<v Speaker 1>something and it was so funny. He puts out that

0:34:57.920 --> 0:35:01.440
<v Speaker 1>video of Christiano Ronaldo saying you're done right, and he's

0:35:01.440 --> 0:35:04.400
<v Speaker 1>like and two hours later he's back. I mean, he

0:35:04.480 --> 0:35:08.080
<v Speaker 1>knew damn well what he was doing. I think he retired.

0:35:08.120 --> 0:35:10.120
<v Speaker 1>And this is a take that Sims and I have

0:35:10.719 --> 0:35:13.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of come up with after talking about it way

0:35:13.200 --> 0:35:16.479
<v Speaker 1>too often over the past few months. The retirement wasn't

0:35:16.520 --> 0:35:18.839
<v Speaker 1>something that he was forced into. His dad says, well,

0:35:18.880 --> 0:35:21.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, ESPN reported he's retiring, so he had to retire, Like, like,

0:35:21.880 --> 0:35:24.360
<v Speaker 1>that's going to be a real factor in your life.

0:35:24.400 --> 0:35:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Decision to retire. I think he actively explored whether or

0:35:29.440 --> 0:35:33.160
<v Speaker 1>not he could pull off a move to another team.

0:35:33.160 --> 0:35:35.960
<v Speaker 1>The Dolphins were looking at Sean Payton and Tom Brady together.

0:35:36.160 --> 0:35:39.280
<v Speaker 1>That's not happening. If Tom Brady isn't at least interested

0:35:39.320 --> 0:35:42.520
<v Speaker 1>in the possibility of partnering up with Sean Payton, those

0:35:42.600 --> 0:35:45.759
<v Speaker 1>thoughts aren't being had and entertained and acted upon by

0:35:45.760 --> 0:35:48.680
<v Speaker 1>the Dolphins, who admit that they called the Saints to

0:35:48.719 --> 0:35:51.160
<v Speaker 1>inquire about the availability of Sean Payton, and we're told

0:35:51.320 --> 0:35:55.440
<v Speaker 1>don't even waste your time by former Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland,

0:35:55.480 --> 0:35:59.160
<v Speaker 1>who's now the assistant GM in New Orleans. So I

0:35:59.200 --> 0:36:03.239
<v Speaker 1>think part of that forty days is there another place

0:36:03.320 --> 0:36:05.680
<v Speaker 1>I can continue my career. And one of the benefits

0:36:05.680 --> 0:36:07.919
<v Speaker 1>of being Tom Brady is you never have to order

0:36:07.960 --> 0:36:10.880
<v Speaker 1>the Code red. You never have to dirty your hands

0:36:10.960 --> 0:36:13.359
<v Speaker 1>with Gee. I'd really like to come back, but I'm

0:36:13.360 --> 0:36:16.360
<v Speaker 1>not happy with the coaching situation. That's something that happens

0:36:16.760 --> 0:36:21.280
<v Speaker 1>three levels down, gets communicated three levels down from ownership

0:36:21.320 --> 0:36:23.640
<v Speaker 1>of the Buccaneers, and it works its way up and

0:36:23.719 --> 0:36:25.879
<v Speaker 1>people you know, Jason light said yesterday and Rich Eyes

0:36:25.880 --> 0:36:27.920
<v Speaker 1>and show Tom never made a demand. Of course he

0:36:27.920 --> 0:36:30.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't make a demand. If you're Tom Brady, don't have

0:36:30.080 --> 0:36:32.200
<v Speaker 1>to make a demand. It's one of the benefits of

0:36:32.239 --> 0:36:38.919
<v Speaker 1>being Tom Brady. Is it you're feeling or is it reporting? Well,

0:36:38.960 --> 0:36:40.799
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a combination of both. And I think

0:36:40.800 --> 0:36:42.640
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of where we are in today's world. When

0:36:42.680 --> 0:36:45.120
<v Speaker 1>you're plugged into the matrix twenty four hours a day

0:36:45.160 --> 0:36:47.040
<v Speaker 1>like I am, and you've been doing it for twenty years,

0:36:47.320 --> 0:36:49.960
<v Speaker 1>you get an idea of what's really going on. For example,

0:36:50.000 --> 0:36:52.320
<v Speaker 1>when Pete Carroll tells the world we have no intention

0:36:52.360 --> 0:36:54.960
<v Speaker 1>to trade Russell Wilson, my first reaction was, there's the

0:36:55.000 --> 0:36:57.520
<v Speaker 1>for sale, sun folks. They're willing to trade him. And

0:36:57.560 --> 0:37:00.800
<v Speaker 1>at all these Seahawks fans and Seahawks media, you're you're nuts,

0:37:00.800 --> 0:37:04.040
<v Speaker 1>you're high, you're whatever. And then what happened a week

0:37:04.120 --> 0:37:05.680
<v Speaker 1>later they have a deal to trade him to the

0:37:05.680 --> 0:37:08.759
<v Speaker 1>Denver Broncos. So you develop a sense of what the

0:37:08.800 --> 0:37:11.000
<v Speaker 1>patterns are, what the trends are, what the truth is,

0:37:11.040 --> 0:37:14.240
<v Speaker 1>and what the bs is. And this one is so

0:37:14.360 --> 0:37:16.920
<v Speaker 1>weird in comparison to everything else we've seen in the

0:37:17.000 --> 0:37:19.279
<v Speaker 1>last twenty years, or the last forty years or the

0:37:19.320 --> 0:37:23.120
<v Speaker 1>last fifty years. There's got to be smoke there, and

0:37:23.160 --> 0:37:26.040
<v Speaker 1>where there's smoke, as we often know, there's fire. I

0:37:26.080 --> 0:37:29.840
<v Speaker 1>had some Seattle fans who blamed me for Russell Wilson

0:37:29.880 --> 0:37:32.759
<v Speaker 1>getting traded because I had him on and he did

0:37:32.840 --> 0:37:36.640
<v Speaker 1>that interview where he kind of aired his laundry, and

0:37:36.760 --> 0:37:40.200
<v Speaker 1>I went, all I did is ask a question. Normally

0:37:40.280 --> 0:37:43.759
<v Speaker 1>Russ doesn't give you anything of great detail, and he

0:37:43.880 --> 0:37:46.359
<v Speaker 1>gave me a whole lot there, and then I followed up.

0:37:46.360 --> 0:37:48.920
<v Speaker 1>And that's why I said, all along, I thought we

0:37:48.920 --> 0:37:51.560
<v Speaker 1>were going to have something similar to what we had

0:37:51.600 --> 0:37:55.120
<v Speaker 1>with the Rams and the Lions, where Matthew Stafford and

0:37:55.200 --> 0:37:58.960
<v Speaker 1>the Lions would mutually agree what's best for both is

0:37:59.360 --> 0:38:02.520
<v Speaker 1>to divorce. And that's exactly what happened in that situation.

0:38:02.760 --> 0:38:05.719
<v Speaker 1>We're talking to Mike Florio. The book is Playmakers, available

0:38:05.760 --> 0:38:10.879
<v Speaker 1>online wherever books are sold. So Brady gets what he wants.

0:38:10.960 --> 0:38:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I guess with Todd Bowles, the only thing that I'll

0:38:14.120 --> 0:38:18.200
<v Speaker 1>leave you with this one item. Does Bruce arians have

0:38:18.320 --> 0:38:22.400
<v Speaker 1>the autonomy to pick his successor? I mean, that's what

0:38:22.600 --> 0:38:26.239
<v Speaker 1>was surprising that it feels like ownership would say we

0:38:26.480 --> 0:38:29.239
<v Speaker 1>kind of want to know, you know, what our plan

0:38:29.440 --> 0:38:32.960
<v Speaker 1>is down the road. Bruce said, Hey, I wanted to

0:38:33.280 --> 0:38:36.280
<v Speaker 1>have Todd Bowles, and I'm all for Todd Bowles getting

0:38:36.280 --> 0:38:39.000
<v Speaker 1>another chance. I just didn't know that Bruce would have

0:38:39.600 --> 0:38:43.439
<v Speaker 1>that say, that power to name his successor. Well, look,

0:38:43.560 --> 0:38:46.480
<v Speaker 1>if what we're being told is true, and obviously I

0:38:46.560 --> 0:38:49.759
<v Speaker 1>have my doubts. Bruce arians put ownership in a very

0:38:49.840 --> 0:38:52.560
<v Speaker 1>tough spot by walking away when he did. Because if

0:38:52.560 --> 0:38:54.560
<v Speaker 1>I own a football team, I would at least like

0:38:54.640 --> 0:38:57.319
<v Speaker 1>to know as soon as possible after the season ends

0:38:57.320 --> 0:38:58.640
<v Speaker 1>that I'm going to be looking for a coach, because

0:38:58.680 --> 0:39:00.560
<v Speaker 1>because I was, I would leave. It's like to have

0:39:00.600 --> 0:39:04.960
<v Speaker 1>the opportunity to cast a wider net and consider my options.

0:39:05.000 --> 0:39:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I'd come back to tog balls at the end

0:39:06.600 --> 0:39:08.239
<v Speaker 1>of the day, but I'd at least like to have

0:39:08.280 --> 0:39:10.480
<v Speaker 1>the chance to try. What else are you going to do?

0:39:10.640 --> 0:39:13.880
<v Speaker 1>If you're the Buccaneers and your head coach leaves on

0:39:13.960 --> 0:39:16.440
<v Speaker 1>March thirty, you're going to start a search? Then you

0:39:16.480 --> 0:39:20.319
<v Speaker 1>can't under the rules, no team is required to let

0:39:20.360 --> 0:39:23.880
<v Speaker 1>you talk to any of their assistants under contract because

0:39:24.320 --> 0:39:26.560
<v Speaker 1>March one is when that window closes. That's why the

0:39:26.640 --> 0:39:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Rooney rule doesn't apply. That's a loophole by the way

0:39:28.560 --> 0:39:31.120
<v Speaker 1>that I think they're going to close because I as

0:39:31.120 --> 0:39:33.440
<v Speaker 1>soon as I as soon as I saw that the

0:39:33.520 --> 0:39:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Rooney rule doesn't apply to any vacancies after March one.

0:39:36.560 --> 0:39:38.480
<v Speaker 1>I thought, oh boy, Jerry Jones is gonna fire Mike

0:39:38.560 --> 0:39:42.000
<v Speaker 1>McCarthy after March one and hire Sean Payton or elevate

0:39:42.080 --> 0:39:44.759
<v Speaker 1>Dan Quinn. Now that Jerry Jones knows this exists, because

0:39:44.760 --> 0:39:46.960
<v Speaker 1>it's the first time it's ever happened, he's gonna use

0:39:47.000 --> 0:39:48.879
<v Speaker 1>it and they're gonna close that loophole before he can.

0:39:49.000 --> 0:39:51.880
<v Speaker 1>All right, before I let you go. The Baker Mayfield

0:39:51.920 --> 0:39:55.920
<v Speaker 1>story seems pretty quiet. Is it going to stay that

0:39:55.960 --> 0:39:58.920
<v Speaker 1>way for until the draft or after the draft? I

0:39:58.960 --> 0:40:01.560
<v Speaker 1>think both of these teams that are looking to trade

0:40:02.120 --> 0:40:05.000
<v Speaker 1>veteran quarterbacks with significant salaries, the forty nine ers with

0:40:05.040 --> 0:40:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Garoppolo and the Browns with Baker Mayfield, I think

0:40:07.600 --> 0:40:09.040
<v Speaker 1>they want to wait at this point to see what

0:40:09.120 --> 0:40:11.360
<v Speaker 1>happens with the draft. That there's gonna be maybe a

0:40:11.360 --> 0:40:14.000
<v Speaker 1>team that is targeting a quarterback Round one or two.

0:40:14.080 --> 0:40:16.280
<v Speaker 1>If they don't get him, then maybe a trade market

0:40:16.280 --> 0:40:19.320
<v Speaker 1>emerges at some point, though it gets very awkward because

0:40:19.320 --> 0:40:21.080
<v Speaker 1>you can't lock the guy out of the facility if

0:40:21.120 --> 0:40:22.960
<v Speaker 1>he wants to show up. And if I'm Baker Mayfield,

0:40:23.040 --> 0:40:25.040
<v Speaker 1>deal with me. I'm not gonna go sit in the corner.

0:40:25.320 --> 0:40:27.440
<v Speaker 1>You gotta deal with me, or you gotta cut me.

0:40:28.280 --> 0:40:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Even though these guys don't have no trade clauses, you

0:40:30.640 --> 0:40:32.760
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of power when you're a starting quarterback.

0:40:33.239 --> 0:40:34.799
<v Speaker 1>If a team is going to trade for you and

0:40:34.880 --> 0:40:37.279
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to go there, good luck getting that

0:40:37.360 --> 0:40:40.360
<v Speaker 1>team to give up any significant assets for that contract.

0:40:40.600 --> 0:40:42.600
<v Speaker 1>That could be a mess for any team that tries

0:40:42.640 --> 0:40:45.239
<v Speaker 1>to trade for Garoppolo or Mayfield. Mayfield's got a ton

0:40:45.280 --> 0:40:48.160
<v Speaker 1>of power also because his salary is fully guaranteed. He's

0:40:48.200 --> 0:40:50.399
<v Speaker 1>getting eighteen point eight million this year no matter what.

0:40:50.680 --> 0:40:52.440
<v Speaker 1>So it's a mess for the Browns and for the

0:40:52.480 --> 0:40:54.120
<v Speaker 1>forty nine ers. It's going to be one of the

0:40:54.200 --> 0:40:56.880
<v Speaker 1>fun storylines to keep an eye on as the offseason continues.

0:40:57.000 --> 0:40:59.279
<v Speaker 1>Also with the Rams with Bobby Wagner, I was just

0:40:59.360 --> 0:41:02.560
<v Speaker 1>thinking of that they keep kicking the salary cap down

0:41:02.560 --> 0:41:05.399
<v Speaker 1>the road signing these guys that you know they don't

0:41:05.480 --> 0:41:11.399
<v Speaker 1>need draft picks here. But Bobby Wagner's signing, I thought

0:41:11.400 --> 0:41:14.080
<v Speaker 1>it was a great pickup. I don't know costwise if

0:41:14.080 --> 0:41:18.000
<v Speaker 1>it is, but this plan the Rams keep buying into it.

0:41:18.520 --> 0:41:22.440
<v Speaker 1>Your thoughts on Wagner, well, two things. Five years fifty million,

0:41:22.880 --> 0:41:24.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean, how many times do we have to hear

0:41:25.239 --> 0:41:28.760
<v Speaker 1>the big number? Yeah, and then see the real numbers

0:41:28.760 --> 0:41:31.120
<v Speaker 1>and see the details and understand what the deal really

0:41:31.200 --> 0:41:33.040
<v Speaker 1>is before we become skeptical of the big number. I'm

0:41:33.080 --> 0:41:37.280
<v Speaker 1>skeptical of five years fifty million, but five years spreads

0:41:37.280 --> 0:41:39.200
<v Speaker 1>it out more into the cap. And here's the thing

0:41:39.200 --> 0:41:42.279
<v Speaker 1>to remember about the cap dollars. It goes up every year.

0:41:42.800 --> 0:41:46.360
<v Speaker 1>So a million dollars in cap space this year means

0:41:46.360 --> 0:41:48.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot more to a team than a million dollars

0:41:48.719 --> 0:41:50.480
<v Speaker 1>in cap space next year, because the CAP's going to

0:41:50.520 --> 0:41:52.839
<v Speaker 1>be hired. It's a smaller percentage. That's why teams kick

0:41:52.880 --> 0:41:54.840
<v Speaker 1>it forward. Because the CAP's gonna keep going up and

0:41:54.880 --> 0:41:57.279
<v Speaker 1>dan with the gambling money, with TV contracts, caps gonna

0:41:57.280 --> 0:41:59.239
<v Speaker 1>be three hundred million before we know it. So that's

0:41:59.280 --> 0:42:01.520
<v Speaker 1>why these teams do it. And if you're the Rams,

0:42:01.760 --> 0:42:05.000
<v Speaker 1>and you hey, Aaron Donald on the line, Bobby Wagnert linebacker,

0:42:05.080 --> 0:42:07.719
<v Speaker 1>Jaila Ramsey at corner, we're sleeping on the Rams. So

0:42:07.840 --> 0:42:10.799
<v Speaker 1>much talk last year about the Buccaneers repeating why aren't

0:42:10.800 --> 0:42:13.399
<v Speaker 1>we talking about the Rams? Repeating all the talents left

0:42:13.400 --> 0:42:15.919
<v Speaker 1>the NFC the Packers are down, the Bucks are still

0:42:15.960 --> 0:42:18.319
<v Speaker 1>going through a coaching change. We take for granted how

0:42:18.360 --> 0:42:20.680
<v Speaker 1>good Bruce Arians is on game day. They could beat

0:42:20.719 --> 0:42:23.000
<v Speaker 1>down a little bit. And here are the Rams. They're

0:42:23.080 --> 0:42:24.839
<v Speaker 1>right where they left off, and I think we need

0:42:24.840 --> 0:42:26.319
<v Speaker 1>to be thinking about them as a team that gets

0:42:26.360 --> 0:42:28.040
<v Speaker 1>back to the super Bowl and maybe wins it again.

0:42:28.120 --> 0:42:31.759
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell Bruce Arians you said alone. Please do Thank you, Mike,

0:42:31.840 --> 0:42:34.440
