Speaker 2: the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. Preseason

16
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: football coming up tonight, and you have the Colts and

17
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 2: the Ravens, the Bengals and the Seahawks, and I think

18
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: one other game coming up tonight Bengals Eagles and then

19
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: the Raiders and the Seahawks. So three games coming up

20
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 2: tonight and we get to start judging quarterback the preseason.

21
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: I'm already seeing articles about, oh are the brown setting

22
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: Shador Sanders up to fail as he opens up his

23
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: NFL career on Friday night against Carolina. And I was

24
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 2: trying to understand the logic behind this, because he hasn't

25
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: been taking reps as the first string quarterback. He's been

26
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: with second and third teamers. Well, now he's going to

27
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: be there with the first teamers against Carolina. I don't

28
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: know how that sets him up to fail. Now you're

29
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: with more talented players, players that you might have on

30
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: your team when you're the starting quarterback at some point

31
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 2: during the NFL season. But we're already you know, it's

32
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: already shifting towards Eh, what happens if you know he

33
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,559
Speaker 2: doesn't do well in the first game. I think they're

34
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: making him, not making him. They're having him start because

35
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: everybody else is injured. I don't know if that's setting

36
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: him up for failure. You need somebody to play quarterback.

37
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: I don't think Teddy Bridgewater's ready to play. It's a

38
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: great opportunity for Shirdo or Sanders. I hope he does

39
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: well and you get to play with the first team

40
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: and maybe take some first team reps today and get

41
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 2: ready for Friday night's game against Carolina. But I don't

42
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 2: think he's being set up to fail. Not giving him

43
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 2: a chance to play would be setting him up to fail.

44
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 3: If he can play, hopefully he'll showcase that.

45
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 2: Coming up on Friday night, we'll explore some of the

46
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 2: other football matchups and battles going on in preseason. Our

47
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: good buddy, Ross Tucker will stop by eight seven to

48
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 2: seven to three. DP Show email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com,

49
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: Twitter handle the DP show operator Tyler sitting by. He'll

50
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: take your phone calls. By the way, we did talk

51
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: about the smelling salt. Is it a smelling saltgate that

52
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: we elect to throw gate? We attach that to a

53
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: lot of different things. When there's a controversy. The NFL

54
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: is saying you can't use smelling salts on the sidelines.

55
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: You can bring your own, but they want to take

56
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 2: away the liability I believe of smelling salts, and they're

57
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: worried about what it does. If you've had a concussion

58
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: and somebody gives you a smelling salt and it might

59
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: wake you up to be able to go back out

60
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: there and play. But it's bring your own smelling salts

61
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: to the sidelines. Yes, Ton, it didn't pass the smell

62
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: test for the NFL using four minutes in. I'll give

63
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: you a bloop. Yes, Paulie, I.

64
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 4: Didn't realize how many players used them over the past

65
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 4: twenty four hours. It's become a story. So now every

66
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 4: local reporter is asking players about it, like different players.

67
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 4: There's a player for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It says

68
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,839
Speaker 4: I use them before every single defensive drive. They're commonplace.

69
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 4: You just don't catch them on TV that much, but

70
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 4: they're very commonplace.

71
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: Weightlifters use these before a big lift. They'll take a

72
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: hit and then all of a sudden, it's like and

73
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: then you go. But I was wondering about this that,

74
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: you know, are they readily available that you can get

75
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 2: smelling salts where? I'm not sure. I guess you can

76
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: order them. But are they worried about kids using them?

77
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 5: As it?

78
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: Is it going to trickle down to you know, Pop Warner.

79
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, but it feels like the NFL is saying,

80
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: where you want to remove any liability here, if you

81
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: want to take it, you bring your own.

82
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 6: Yes, Ston, is this something we should be incorporating into

83
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 6: the morning routine around here?

84
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 3: I told Dylan to see if he could order some.

85
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 2: Just I don't know if you guys have ever experienced

86
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: smelling salts. Ooo, Yes, that's going to be the feeling,

87
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: that's going to be the look, the sound of it.

88
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: It is going to you know, there's that Bows speaker

89
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 2: commercial where the speakers are on and the guy's hair

90
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 2: is blown back and his face is blown back, and

91
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: sort of the feeling you get when you do smelling salts.

92
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: I remember doing them in high school playing football, for

93
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 2: my limited experience of freshman football in high school for

94
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: the Mason Commets.

95
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 3: But you would take a hit that and it's like

96
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,119
Speaker 3: whow yes, PAULI.

97
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 4: A lot of people are speculating that the FDA caused this.

98
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 4: The FDA did a report just about a year ago

99
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 4: that said different types of these inhaling ammonia products can

100
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 4: lead to coughing, airway restriction, eye and those irritation and

101
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 4: long term effects on your breathing, seizure's, migraine, et cetera,

102
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 4: et cetera. And so the NFL just got this report

103
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 4: last year right before the season. Maybe that's what caused

104
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 4: the trickle.

105
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 3: Down the front.

106
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, it kind of came out of nowhere. But

107
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 2: having used it a couple of times. I didn't like it,

108
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 2: but it wasn't for a concussion. I think it was

109
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: just getting ready for contact with an Oklahoma drill that

110
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 2: we were going to do.

111
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 3: Playing high school of football. Oklahoma drill. Yeah, I know.

112
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 2: I love the Oklahoma drill where you're lying on your

113
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: back and then the other guys lying on your back

114
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 2: and they go and then you jump up and then

115
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 2: you run into each other.

116
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 3: They called it the Oklahoma drill.

117
00:05:58,520 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 7: Oh my gosh.

118
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the good old days. That's what That's

119
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: the way we used to do it, Yes, Paul.

120
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 4: So when you play grade school football and you stink

121
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 4: like I did, you'd be in line for the Oklahoma drill,

122
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 4: and you'd look across and if you saw Richie Alcott

123
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 4: number fifty one, and you went back in line a

124
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 4: couple spots because you didn't not want to get.

125
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 3: Cooked by Richie.

126
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,119
Speaker 2: You didn't want somebody wearing Dick Butkus's number. Oh no,

127
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 2: number fifty one. All right, we'll get to a poll

128
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 2: question today. I do want to mention there was a

129
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 2: topic yesterday we spent a lot of time, maybe too

130
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: much time, it talked about the NFL.

131
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 3: Was buying ten percent of ESPN.

132
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 2: There's a merger between NFL Network and ESPN, and the

133
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 2: point that I made and want to continue to make,

134
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 2: there is a conflict of interest. I think we can

135
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 2: all agree to that now if you don't care about it,

136
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 2: and maybe you don't, but for me, I worry about that.

137
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 2: But you know, this is the old school in me

138
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: that you know with ESPN and having been there eighteen years,

139
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 2: and I'm mention that, you know, are they going to

140
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 2: have journalism?

141
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 3: Are they going to cover the NFL?

142
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 2: And I didn't mention any names, but there was one

143
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 2: person at the mothership, Don Van Nada, who is a

144
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: senior writer who's been on the show. I think last

145
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: time he was on five years ago to talk about

146
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: deep dive he did on the Decision with Lebron James,

147
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: and he's been on the show a couple of times.

148
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: He's a very good journalist. He took it personally when

149
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: I was saying I don't know if they did a

150
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: deep dive on the NFL Players Association mess and once again,

151
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 2: this is live radio and I'm saying I don't know.

152
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 2: So I'm not making a declarative statement. I'm just saying

153
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 2: I don't know. Well, Don Van Nada took it personally

154
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 2: that I don't go to ESPN dot com and read

155
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 2: his articles. I don't go to ESPN dot com. Okay,

156
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 2: I don't. If there's an article, the dan nets will

157
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 2: bring it to my attention. Hey, this is I did

158
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 2: it out of principle when I left ESPN, like I'm

159
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 2: going to put ESPN in my rear view mirror, and

160
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: I really it's not part of my morning or routine

161
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: of going there. So I missed that Don was doing

162
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 2: an expose on the NFL Players Association, and by all accounts,

163
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 2: did a great job. Now I did know that Mike

164
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: Florio and Pablo Torre were doing things and they added

165
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: to the story collusion story.

166
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 3: They sent the stories to us.

167
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 2: We had them on, we had JC treder On, who

168
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 2: was second in command at the NFLPA. It's not a

169
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 2: story that you know we were staying away from. But

170
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 2: Don Benatta said that he was embarrassed for me because

171
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: I didn't know that he is the one who had

172
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 2: the story initially. I don't know if they promoted you correctly. Don,

173
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 2: to be honest with you, I don't know if you

174
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: were on first take. I don't know if you're on

175
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: NFL Live. I don't know if you're on Get Up.

176
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: I know that Pablo Torre and Mike Flora Mike Florio

177
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 2: were there front and center moting this and got a

178
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 2: lot of attention here. So I apologize for that that

179
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 2: I didn't know that you were the person, the originator

180
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 2: of this story there to say you're embarrassed for me

181
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 2: because I didn't see the article. I said that out loud.

182
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys did a deep dive

183
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 2: and I wasn't talking about you.

184
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 3: You made it.

185
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 2: Personal about me, and you know about being a journalist,

186
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 2: I said at the point, I didn't know. And also,

187
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 2: you know, when you when you start, you started out

188
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 2: that way, you miss what the real point was is

189
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 2: is is there a conflict of interest? Like that's the

190
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: discussion here not I missed that you did something on

191
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 2: the and by the way, it's not on the NFL.

192
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: Your expose was on the NFL Players Association. There's a

193
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 2: big difference in that. So we've reached out to Don

194
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 2: if he wants to join us, great. You may not

195
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 2: even care about this, but when you say you're embarrassed

196
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: for me, and then you know you want to show

197
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: me your resume, and I'll show you mine, and you

198
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 2: know we can have a private conversation here. But if

199
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 2: you call me out, you're embarrassed. Imagine if you did this,

200
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 2: you did your article live, because that's what I do

201
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 2: every day. I write columns every single day for three hours.

202
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: And sometimes you make mistakes. And you know by saying

203
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 2: that there's not an investigative arm inside ESPN, that's on me.

204
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: I made a mistake. I know where your office is

205
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 2: and you know it's been scaled down greatly. I hope

206
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 2: you continue to fight the good fight. Don I hope

207
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: you and your staff fight the good fight. But now

208
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 2: is when you're judged. From here on out, is when

209
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 2: you're judged. Covering the NFL not what you did before.

210
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 2: Have you like me saying I'm not any good at this,

211
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 2: but man, was I good at SportsCenter? No one cares.

212
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 2: It's about today and tomorrow in the next day. Covering

213
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 2: the NFL Player Association is a whole lot different than

214
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 2: covering the NFL, and you have to admit, which you didn't.

215
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 2: It's a conflict of interest. The perception is a conflict

216
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 2: of interest, and that was the point that I was

217
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 2: trying to make there.

218
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 3: I wish you well, but if.

219
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 2: You want to have a conversation on the show or privately,

220
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 2: i'd love to. I have nothing against you. You're the

221
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 2: one that made it personal. And thank you all the

222
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 2: people on social media who stood up for me and

223
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 2: sent me the article. And I got way too many

224
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 2: articles sent to me. Very happy, But I hope to

225
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 2: restore my journalistic credentials here this entire show. I got

226
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 2: three hours to do it, and perhaps I'll do that.

227
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: But there's a reason why the commissioner of the NFL

228
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: has not been on this show for over a decade.

229
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 2: Because I ask good questions. I asked the right questions.

230
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 2: I ask questions that can be uncomfortable. We take pride

231
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 2: in what we do and how we do it. And

232
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 2: because I offhandedly said I'm wondering because I didn't read

233
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 2: your expose, I'm going to renew my ESPN dot com

234
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 2: subscription poem.

235
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 3: Nineteen ninety nine a year. I'm special. Is that what

236
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 3: it is to get you a former employee rate? Yeah?

237
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 3: But this is another thing. I don't you know.

238
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 2: They have analytics that say, hey, we're covering this and

239
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: this and this and this and this. Don is in

240
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 2: the buzzkill business. His job is to find the negative

241
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 2: side of things. I mean, he's trying to find the

242
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 2: CD under belly here. And I don't know if get

243
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 2: up and first take and some of these other shows go, hey,

244
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: come on down, let's spend ten minutes talking about this.

245
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 2: And you know it's unfortunate, but I've been there. I

246
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 2: was there for a long time. A lot of people

247
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 2: who were great journalists no longer work there, and you're

248
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 2: you're alone in the corner there, Don, And I hope

249
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 2: that they add instead of subtracting there. I think that's

250
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: really important to cover the NFL, not just the NFLPA.

251
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: All right, well, take a break. We'll settle on a

270
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 9: I do think that they are doing this the right

271
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 9: way with him and making sure that he is successful

272
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 9: as he comes up the learning curve, and they're flying

273
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 9: in the face of what everybody wants them to do.

274
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 9: But they have stuck to their guns and they're not

275
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 9: the coumbing to media pressure and public pressure and fan pressure.

276
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 9: They're not doing that. They're doing what's right for shoud Door,

277
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 9: and people have to understand that they're doing what's right

278
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 9: for the football team and for shaud Door.

279

Speaker 2: Cleveland and Mary kay Cabot's been covering the Cleveland Browns

281
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 2: for decades, and she's right, this is the opportunity you want,

282
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 2: not Hey, you got to ease him into this. Should

283
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 2: or Sanders comes in full of confidence, ready to go.

284
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 2: We've been told he's ready to go. My source with

285
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 2: the brown says he's ready to go. He understands concepts,

286
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 2: he's getting along with teammates. There's maturity there. There's also

287
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: a sense of Hey, I know my place here. But

288
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 2: because of the injuries, he's going to get a chance

289
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 2: to play against Carolina. What if he didn't get a

290
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 2: chance to play then, what would the outcry be? Ah,

291
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 2: Now they're setting him up to fail. Make up your

292
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 2: mind if I'm shudor give me a chance. You got

293
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 2: a chance. And I still believe at some point during

294
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 2: this season he'll be the starting quarterback for the Cleveland

295
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 2: Browns eight seven to seven to three DP show email

296
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 2: address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle a DP show. By

297
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 2: the way, I did spend some time in the first

298
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 2: segment of the show. I talked about ESPN conflict of interest,

299
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: the appearance of a conflict of interest with the NFL

300
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: buying ten percent of ESPN, and I questioned some of

301
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 2: the journalistic practices of ESPN and how important it is

302
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: to be covering the NFL. How will you cover the NFL?

303
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 2: Don Van Natta is a great investigative reporter who works there.

304
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 2: He took it personally, and we did reach out to

305
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 2: Dawn to see if he wanted to join us. He

306
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 2: said he was busy this morning but told Fritzy to

307
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 2: give me my best.

308
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 3: What does that mean? It's very thoughtful.

309
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, after saying I'm embarrassed for you that you're gonna

310
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 2: give give Dan my best?

311
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 6: Is that like, give him your best because you're gonna

312
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 6: need it because civil I am just so embarrassed. I

313
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 6: I don't know, give Dan my best shot. Sorry, I'm busy. Yeah,

314
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 6: oh what they don't have phones where you.

315
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 10: Are for.

316
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 2: This isn't personal. It shouldn't be personal. He made it personal.

317
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 2: I don't want to make it personal. He's very good

318
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: at what he does. I don't know if ESPN really

319
00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 2: publicizes what he does and showcases him and puts him

320
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 2: on the big shows. So I'm kind of fighting his

321
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 2: fight inside while he's fighting me and not addressing the

322
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 2: perception perceived conflict of interest with ESPN. That's it, But

323
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 2: you can't tell me. Look at what I did with

324
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 2: the NFL Players Association, that's not the NFL. And those

325
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 2: are the points that I'm trying to make, Yes, Paul, it's.

326
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 4: Really tough to get investigative stories out there. It could

327
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 4: be ESPN, Fox, NBC, any sports network. They don't really

328
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 4: like to do deep dives on TV. There's not the

329
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 4: room for it. Producers don't want to do it because

330
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 4: it's a bogged down topic with a lot of details,

331
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 4: and so a lot of these stories don't get play

332
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 4: a show like Pablo Tory. His is a podcast that

333
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 4: you choose to participate, but you.

334
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 3: Know he's going to do an investigative report.

335
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you choose to listen to it or watch

336
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 4: it on your own time.

337
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 3: Yes.

338
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 6: Which really sucks though, because the work that investigator journalists

339
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 6: do is obviously important, but it is usually way more

340
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 6: interesting than watching like, hey, we got two Sports Center

341
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 6: hosts going kayaking this morning, let's check it out. Like

342
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 6: that's actually not why I watched Sports Center is to

343
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 6: see the host kayaking together.

344
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 3: I really don't want to see that.

345
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 2: It feels like journalism is going to skip a generation.

346
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 2: It does, and that's that's sad because we took great

347
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 2: pride in the stories that we covered when I worked

348
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 2: at ESPN, when I worked with Bob Lee, when I

349
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 2: worked with Keith Oberman, we took great pride in that.

350
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 2: But the person who really built Sports Center, John Walsh.

351
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 2: He was bringing in writers, guys who could do investigative work,

352
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 2: and it just it's content now. I mean, I have

353
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 2: to get over the fact that ESPN is never going

354
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 2: to be my ESPN.

355
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 3: It's just not.

356
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: Now you go back to your old neighborhood, doesn't look

357
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 2: the same, but it's still my old neighborhood. And I

358
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 2: once again, I hope that don when John ben Natt

359
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 2: has had expose's for the most part we've had him on,

360
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 2: I don't shy away from it, and I hope that

361
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 2: he gets the opportunity to continue.

362
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 3: To do these stories.

363
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 2: My point was, there is a perception of and it's

364
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 2: been there before. Now it's not perceived now you're in

365
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 2: business with the NFL.

366
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 3: That was the point I was trying to make.

367
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 2: And because I off handedly said I don't know if

368
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 2: they did a deep dive on the NFL Players Association,

369
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 2: that's where he was ashamed of me as a journalist.

370
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 2: But I'll go back to what I said. It was

371
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 2: a throwing it out there. We do a live show.

372
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 2: Let me see you do a live column. We'll follow

373
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 2: along with you as you do a live column. Let

374
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 2: me see if you make any mistakes. But good luck

375
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 2: with that. You took your shot. We can move on

376
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 2: if you want to join us on the show. Great,

377
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 2: all right, pole question today set. No, it's not about him.

378
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 2: It's not about him. I don't care. I don't care.

379
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 3: You don't care. Why you're talking about it so much? Well,

380
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 3: let me talk about the cowboys. Ye really, you don't care?

381
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 3: She sounds like you can't. That's my Internet voice for today.

382
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 3: Oh really, Oh you don't care? I care? I care.

383
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 3: I just don't want to care. We're supposed to talk

384
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 3: about the cowboys. No, you're talking about the cowboys. I

385
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 3: don't want.

386
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 2: I don't want to care anymore. I haven't been there

387
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 2: for eighteen years. I don't want to care anymore.

388
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 6: Which somebody once described radio as it's like one step

389
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 6: above rodeo clown, which I don't really disagree with. I

390
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 6: gotta admit it's it's pretty fair. And the I just

391
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 6: saw from a good friend of ours that the is sad. Okay,

392
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 6: and this is meant as a joke. Okay, So don't

393
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 6: everybody get upset. What But the invest degative journalist is

394
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 6: essentially one step above the website onmbudsman, which, yeah, that's

395
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 6: about the level of respect that you're getting these days.

396
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, really, we don't care. What have you

397
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 3: ever heard of the on budsmen?

398
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 6: I know, yeah, dude, nobody cares about that correction.

399
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,719
Speaker 2: And we had an on budsman at the Mothership. I remember,

400
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 2: I like, what does he do? And nobody could really

401
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 2: tell me what he was doing. He kind of over

402
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 2: would oversee what we were writing because we did write everything.

403
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 2: The journalist in me was writing everything every night on

404
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 2: Sports Center. But the onmbudsman, Yes, Paulie, it's a very

405
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 2: unique role.

406
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,959
Speaker 4: It's supposed to be completely autonomous. It's mostly at newspapers,

407
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 4: the on budsmen. Yeah, and they can investigate whatever they want,

408
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 4: they could critique whatever they want.

409
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just the days of investigative reporting, unfortunately, are

410
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 2: slowly slipping away.

411
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, paul and we've.

412
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 4: Talked about this before, but it's a lot of it's

413
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 4: analytics based. It's what the audience wants, they give you

414
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 4: more of. It's like a restaurant. And so these different

415
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 4: shows on different networks, they do a segment about the

416
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 4: NFLPA and people will tune out, and then they're like, well,

417
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 4: we're not doing NFLPA again. It becomes a cycle. And

418
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 4: then if you tune into because should or Sanders got

419
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 4: in a car wreck or got busted for speeding, they're

420
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 4: going to talk more about should or Sanders.

421
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 2: If you're flipping through and you see, oh my god,

422
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: they're talking about Michael Parsons, Shadoor Sanders, whatever, or the

423
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 2: NFL Player Association, you're going to the other ones.

424
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 3: You're not going to go to that.

425
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 2: But also it's how your network promotes this and you know,

426
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 2: gives you the platform. That's really the important part. We

427
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 2: don't deal with analytics. Maybe we should, I don't know,

428
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,959
Speaker 2: but I want to come in and talk about what

429
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 2: I want to talk about. I don't want to come

430
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 2: in and have somebody say, here's the analytics. You have

431
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 2: to talk about this these three four things. And there

432
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 2: are shows that are really successful doing that. I just

433
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 2: that's not why I want to continue to do this.

434
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 2: It's fun to be able to come in and talk

435
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 2: about what you want to come in and talk about.

436
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 2: And it's not scripted, and we don't have a boss

437
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 2: who's telling us these things. But when there are times

438
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 2: to do a deep dive on something or it's something

439
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 2: that's uncomfortable, you know, there is a scandal, you we

440
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 2: don't shy away from it. It's not like I go, oh, boy,

441
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 2: people are going to tune out. I hope that you

442
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 2: trust me when I'm telling you about something that it

443
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 2: is important.

444
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 3: And here's why. Yeah, we go fast.

445
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 6: Forward to like nine months from now when investigative journalists

446
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 6: are choosing to quit their jobs because peace that they

447
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 6: wrote on the NFL got killed. Well, I mean, you've

448
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 6: been criticized before in the past for having some news

449
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 6: stories or breaking some news that people are.

450
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 3: Like, what are you crazy? That's the dumbest thing I've

451
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 3: ever heard.

452
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 6: And then nine months later they released their own hey

453
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 6: version of just broke this story.

454
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know that.

455
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 2: Happened with college football when college football was being canceled

456
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 2: and the journalist in me was breaking stories, and boy,

457
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 2: they were not pleased and talking hairdoo breaking stories. First

458
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 2: of all, they all have contracts, so yeah, and then

459
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:12,719
Speaker 2: they eventually came out and kind of apologized, I'm over it,

460
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 2: Jake and Buffalo. Hi Jake, what's on your mind today?

461
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 3: Hi Jake?

462
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 5: Hey Dan. I think this issued this little fight with

463
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 5: Don Bannantta sort of reinforces the point of how little

464
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 5: coverage the story is getting. It's a massive skip. The

465
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 5: biggest sport in the country, the worldwide leader, has exactly

466
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 5: one person trying to bring attention to it. Seems like

467
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 5: if it was something else, there would be a lot

468
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 5: more attention. They quick start to the ESPN website. There's

469
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 5: like one clip in the last month giving this attention.

470
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 5: I just don't understand. I think it's sort of reinforces

471
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 5: the point you may have overlooked it because it's not

472
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 5: getting the attention it deserves.

473
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I missed it. I don't go to ESPN

474
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 2: dot com. But I did hear Florio, and I did

475
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 2: hear Pablo Torelo. Well, he called us. He called Paulie

476
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 2: and said, hey, you want me to talk about this.

477
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 2: Florio does this show that precedes hours? I was able

478
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 2: to see these things if Don was on with the

479
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 2: other shows, if he was on first take and I

480
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 2: missed it, then that's on me. But just because I

481
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 2: said I don't know what kind of deep dive and

482
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 2: I didn't see your report, that doesn't make me less

483
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 2: of a journalist. It makes me say, I wonder, I

484
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 2: don't know what kind of you know, publicity expose you

485
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 2: did on the NFLPA all right, I found out, Okay,

486
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 2: I did find out.

487
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 3: We did cover it. Yeah.

488
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 6: See, Well, the goodness is that while ESPN might not

489
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 6: be covering it a ton, you can go to another

490
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 6: network that's not in bed with the NFL and they're

491
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 6: covering it heavily. Yeah, that's the sarcasm fund right there,

492
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 6: because nobody is covering it because everybody's in bed with

493
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 6: the NFL. We're all completely you know, captive by like

494
00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 6: we have to cover the NFL constantly.

495
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 3: Yes, it's becoming the norm.

496
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 4: There's a Wall Street journal piece that came out this

497
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 4: morning that is part of this new restructuring deal with

498
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 4: the NFL network. The NFL is also going to have

499
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 4: a ten percent partnership stake with CBS. I know, so

500
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 4: it's not just limited to ESPN.

501
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 2: Yeah no, but this is you know, CBS is on

502
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 2: all it's not omnipresent.

503
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 3: ESPN is on all the time.

504
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 2: And they got all these NFL shows. You got to

505
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 2: fill those things up. I mean, there's only so many

506
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 2: times when you could say, let's talk about Dak's legacy.

507
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 2: You know, there's other things, and hopefully there's room for

508
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 2: these stories. Hopefully they cover these stories. Hopefully they don't

509
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 2: kill or you know, look the other way with these stories.

510
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 2: Gary and Iowa. Hi, Gary, what's on your mind today?

511
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 11: You're more in Dan.

512
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 12: Thank you for the callback.

513
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 11: Yep, so the smelly sauce you can ready to get

514
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 11: off Amazon. I ordered a box yesterday. They should be

515
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 11: here tomorrow. My wife asked me, why.

516
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 3: Do you need them?

517
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 13: Gary?

518
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 11: But my wife asked me that, and I would therefore,

519
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 11: and I told her, well, I'll open up your sinuses,

520
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 11: so we'll see all that goes.

521
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 2: Oh boy, okay, you know what I would do, Blow

522
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 2: my nose, Gary, That's how I'd open up my sinuses. Yes,

523
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 2: how about we just blow our nose? That would that

524
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 2: would help? What else do you have for me?

525
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 3: Gary?

526
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 11: Well, don from the ownership, I think it's pretty weak.

527
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 11: He wants to call you out and say you should

528
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 11: be embarrassed, But yet it's pretty embarrassing for him. He

529
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 11: don't want to appear on your show for five minutes

530
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 11: and detained himself and.

531
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,959
Speaker 3: He might be busy Gary, you know, short notice.

532
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 2: But I read this this morning and then I came

533
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 2: in and I said to Fritzy, invite don ben Nana.

534
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 3: I don't have anything against the guy. Just let's just

535
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 3: say it. It's fine if you.

536
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 2: But you're embarrassed for me. Okay, now now we have

537
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 2: a conversation here. You know, maybe you regret sending that

538
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 2: or using you know that word, but.

539
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 3: I wouldn't put those words in his mouth. Yeah, you're

540
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 3: my bad. I wouldn't do that.

541
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 2: No, No, I won't. Maybe maybe it's like he wanted

542
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 2: to say something stronger than that.

543
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 3: Okay, we're done, aren't we.

544
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 2: Billy and Nashville, Hi, Billy, what's on your mind today?

545
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 13: Dan?

546
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 12: Good morning. I just wanted to remind it remind you

547
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 12: that Dan van Nada, he did do a pretty hard

548
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 12: hit on the NFL in conjunction with Seth Wickersham. If

549
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 12: you'll remember all the reporting that came out on Dan

550
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 12: Snyder that certainly shook up the league a little bit

551
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 12: and had a lot of ownership with that.

552
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 2: He does a great job that that was not the point.

553
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 2: Nobody's I'm not I'm not addressing his credentials, Billy. I.

554
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 2: We we talked about this yesterday before the show even started.

555
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 2: We we named Paully mentioning my name. It's not it

556
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 2: has nothing to do with his credentials. It's he's embarrassed

557
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 2: because I didn't realize that he broke this story about

558
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 2: the NFLPA.

559
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 3: I'm I'm talking.

560
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 2: About the This is a bigger story than Don Van Nada.

561
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 2: And it's not about let me show you my resume

562
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 2: and I'll show you your resume and we'll talk about it.

563
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 2: That's not what this is. He does a very good job.

564
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 2: I'm not here to critique anything about that. He critiqued

565
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 2: me that I'm not a journalist, and he was, you know,

566
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 2: embarrassed for me. Okay, that's a little bit different there.

567
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, Grady did a great job on Dan Snyder. Congratulations.

568
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 2: That's your job, hey, great job being an investigative reporter.

569
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 2: That's your job, being an investigative reporter. Oh boy, Yes, Paul.

570
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 3: Want some good news?

571
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 14: Yeah, sure, Lee Corso ninety today you.

572
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 3: Have a second source that's correct, Yes, thank you?

573
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 6: Oh is that the only birthday today, other birthdays too,

574
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 6: Why only pub tours?

575
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 3: Yes, Todd.

576
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 4: Anyways, a handshake agreement, you know binding?

577
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 2: Oh, you want to bring it back to the cowboy

578
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,479
Speaker 2: handshake agreement. Back in my day, we did a handshake agreement.

579
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 3: I can't the agent b present, what's the problem. He

580
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 3: could look in the eye.

581
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 2: Back in my day, I would cut my finger and

582
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 2: then you would have cut your finger, and then we

583
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 2: would put our fingers together and we were we flipped

584
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 2: the coin and wet those fingers. Yes, Marvin, that's the

585
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 2: way it was back in the day. Yes, Paul.

586
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 4: I sent a note to a lawyer yesterday. I hesitate

587
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 4: to bring this up to a trial lawyer. This guy's

588
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 4: like a big time guy. And I said, what a

589
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 4: handshake agreement hold up in court? And he says, there

590
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 4: are situations where it can. Now, I know this is

591
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 4: different than the contract and stuff like this, But if

592
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 4: like two parties make a verbal handshake agreement that the

593
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 4: shaking of the hands does nothing, but a verbal conversation

594
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 4: between two parties can be admissible in court.

595
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 2: But he's already breaking a rule, yes, by negotiating with

596
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 2: his player.

597
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jerry Jones are breaking a lot of rules.

598
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 2: You're not allowed to do that now, So let's not

599
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 2: get lost in the Hey, we had a verbal agreement

600
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 2: or a handshake, you're not allowed to be negotiating with

601
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 2: him to get that verbal agree.

602
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 4: The CBA has language that the representative for the player

603
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 4: should be present during these negotiations.

604
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 3: Yes, Todd, And I.

605
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 4: Would think someone would have to have witnessed that conversation

606
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 4: or that handshake, because then if he said he said,

607
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 4: I didn't take his hand, I don't know what he's

608
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 4: talking about there, I'd have to have been a third

609
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 4: party to confirm it.

610
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 3: Thank you to you.

611
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 2: Welcome Jeremy and Cincinnati. Hi Jeremy, what's on your mind?

612
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 15: What question for you?

613
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 13: Dan?

614
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 15: Along the Micah Parsons line, And then I have a

615
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 15: poll question if if we have time, Okay, So I

616
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 15: teach maths and so we have to do a couple

617
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 15: of problems yesterday, and so we were using Micah Parsons

618
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 15: as an example, and this, I know goes against everything

619
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 15: everyone is saying. So he's twenty six right now, and

620
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 15: everyone's pushing to get the deal done early. But if

621
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 15: you look from Jerry's point of view, if he drags

622
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 15: it out through this year and painting whatever, you know,

623
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 15: eight less than what he would be making then franchise

624
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 15: tagging next year. Yeah, he's only negotiating one more contract

625
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 15: when he's twenty eight twenty nine, where Trey Hendrix is

626
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 15: now where you're kind of on that bubble and this

627
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 15: and that. If he does it early at twenty six,

628
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 15: Mike is going to be pushing at the end of

629
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 15: twenty beginning of twenty nine for another contract bump up.

630
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

631
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 2: I think we talked about that a little bit yesterday

632
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 2: or the day before about if Jerry wants to make

633
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 2: this a little more uncomfortable with Michaeh Parsons and thanks

634
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 2: for the phone call. I just don't think he does,

635
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,479
Speaker 2: because you have the entire team on Micah's side, and

636
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 2: I think probably most of America football fan wise on

637
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 2: Micah's side with this that Jerry's saying, Hey, we weren't

638
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 2: supposed to be talking, but we talked and we had

639
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 2: an agreement there. It doesn't work that way. It can't

640
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 2: work that way. That's why you have certified agents with

641
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 2: the NFLPA.

642
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, PAULI, this goes.

643
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 4: Back to the bigger, overall arching problem. If I were

644
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 4: a Cowboys fan. I would want a general manager, a

645
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 4: dispassionate person who gets contract done and isn't trying to

646
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 4: be in front of a microphone every week.

647
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 3: That's the bigger, bigger problem. Yeah, but he loves being

648
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 3: the god.

649
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 4: You can do all that and hire a business head

650
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 4: to run be the GM.

651
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 13: But he wants to be in there with the conversation

652
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 13: with me. And I sat down with Micah and I

653
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 13: looked at him in the eye and I said, y'all

654
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 13: want you to be a leader, and here's the deal,

655
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 13: and you're gonna agree to it right here, shake my hand, yes, Marvin.

656
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 7: Why do you sound like Leonardo DiCaprio and Jangle unchanged?

657
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 3: I want you to sho.

658
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 2: I apologize for that, Jerry, I'm not inspired by Leo's

659
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 2: character there.

660
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 7: Wow, but also sorry not to cut you off, but

661
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 7: to cut you off again. Jerry thinks he's a football guy.

662
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 7: He thinks to himself, I have I have three Super

663
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 7: Bowl rings as a general manager. Even though he didn't

664
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 7: put the team together. Jimmy did. But in his head

665
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 7: he's like, no, no, I'm a football guy. I know football,

666
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 7: So let me just keep doing this.

667
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 2: Tom in Atlanta, Hi, Tom, what's on your mind?

668
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 16: Hey Dan, thanks for calling you know this. I feel

669
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 16: embarrassed for you saying is it's it's such a passive aggressive,

670
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 16: backhanded kind of insult that I'll be using in the

671
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 16: office today. Hey Jim that lunch order. I feel embarrassed

672
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 16: for you.

673
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 3: All the best? Thank you, Tom, Yes, give Dan my best.

674
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 3: I'm embarrassed for me at best?

675
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 11: What right?

676
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:26,479
Speaker 3: Hook?

677
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 11: Yes?

678
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 3: Tom, I don't know if that's the perfect example of

679
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 3: passive aggressive. That's pretty aggressive.

680
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: I'm very clear what the person is saying is questioning

681
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: your journalism.

682
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 3: I don't know what's the confusing.

683
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 2: And you know passive aggressive, Yes, you do, pressive aggressive.

684
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 2: Nobody ever talks about somebody who's aggressive aggressive. It's just

685
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,959
Speaker 2: passive aggressive. So that's just an aggressive aggressive. How about

686
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 2: we take a break here? All right, let's all collude

687
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,200

Speaker 3: Win over the Rockies.

704

705
00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 2: most by a baseball team in baseball history. The Rockies

706
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,640

Speaker 2: The Boston Rustlers had a worst run differential. That's the

711
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 2: that's the team that had a worst run differential through

712
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 2: this many games than.

713
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 3: Colorado Rustler's an embarrassment.

714
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 2: Boston Rustlers. I'm embarrassed by their performance back then in

715
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 2: nineteen eleven.

716
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:38,680

722
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 11: KBP just wanted to let you know you got a

723
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 11: little bit of Jerry Jones going on from.

724
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 12: That guy that writes the articles FORESPN. He's losing relevancy,

725
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:09,240
Speaker 12: he's losing everything.

726
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 11: And that was a forty five minute spread you just

727
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 11: gave him for the last hour.

728
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 3: Just wanted to point that out.

729
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 2: It's an interesting topic of journalism in society, so it's

730
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 2: not about him.

731
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 3: But thanks for the phone call.

732
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,280
Speaker 2: And I don't think he was saying what he said

733
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 2: to me to get publicity.

734
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 3: He wanted to.

735
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 2: Give his side of the story of me saying don't

736
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 2: you realize that there is journalism at ESPN? And I

737
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 2: did write this article, and I didn't see the article.

738
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 2: It wasn't showcased by ESPN. But I didn't make it personal.

739
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 2: I couldn't care less. I hope he does his job.

740
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 2: I hope he gets the opportunity to do his job. Yes, yeah,

741
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 2: you're sort of doing the equivalent of you know, like

742
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 2: when somebody is like talking tracks about you all this, yeah,

743
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 2: and you're.

744
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 3: Like, who.

745
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,680

Speaker 6: you're like, sorry, I just I didn't even know you

747
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,760
Speaker 6: wrote that. I didn't know we wrote the article.

748
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: Kind of the.

749
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 6: Equivalent of like, sorry, I don't even know who that is.

750
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 6: It's the promotion of the article by ESPN. Correct, that

751
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 6: was it. I just didn't see it.

752
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 3: Good And that's passive aggressive. Thank you, Todd. Thank you.

Speaker 2: Thank you, or just I'm embarrassed for you. You could

757
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 2: do that as a T shirt.

758
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

759
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 6: It is tough though, to be like like, hey, journalism

760
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 6: is dead. Over there a company of like five thousand people,

761
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 6: and one guy is like, not so fast.

762
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 3: All right, we're done with this. I'm done. I'm done

763

Speaker 3: with it. Yes, I got another two hours.

764
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 4: Poor Todd over there being definitely quiet because he has

765
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 4: to deal with ESPN to book guests every week.

766
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: What do you want to have about to.

767
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 10: Average?

768
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 17: Oh?

Speaker 3: You want sky that December ninth o'clock.

Speaker 17: I have a minor in journalism, and Polly mentioned earlier

777
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 17: the phrase I'm buzzing. You remember this one where they would

778
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 17: say watch dogs, you're supposed to be a watchdog?

779
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, you remember that?

780
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

781
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 17: Okay, and all right, before I get to my stair

782
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 17: of the day, there's two guests, because I you're bouncing

783
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 17: in a couple of years, two guests that you have

784
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 17: to have on one obviously Jenny Batchie. The second one

785
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 17: is Corbyn from Fritzy's camp.

786
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 2: We've been trying to track down Corbin. There's a picture

787
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 2: of Fritzy when he's I don't know, youth camp counselor,

788
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,359
Speaker 2: and Fritzy and Corbin have their shirts off and their

789
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 2: nipples are touching, and I was like, what is going

790
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:26,720
Speaker 2: on with that picture?

791
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 3: A photobomb?

792
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 7: I just wanted to kind of pose by myself and

793
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 7: he just kind of snuggled up in his tank top

794
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 7: next to me.

795
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,760
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, Paulling the IT team has a brief update.

796
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 4: We were able to locate and connect with Corbyn a

797
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 4: couple of years ago, but the response wasn't what the

798
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 4: Iteam was looking for. We protect the source, and so

799
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 4: we're in negotiations long term.

800
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,959
Speaker 2: And I don't want to disrupt Jenny Batchi's life any

801
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 2: more than I did fifty years ago. You know it

802
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 2: was fleeting. She disrupted mine, I will say, but I

803
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 2: don't want to do that to her. She's happily married,

804
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 2: she's children and grandchildren.

805
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 6: I'm not really surprised that, given the way we've covered

806
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 6: the Corbin story, that he's not interested in coming on.

807
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 3: I gotta admit I don't know that. That's a lovely

808
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:13,439
Speaker 3: lime green tank top.

809
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 6: That wasn't interesting if only there was an investigative journalist

810
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 6: who could.

811
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 3: Track him down. All right, we're done with that. We're

812
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 3: done with that. Oh I just see what you did.

813
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 5: Stop that
