Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: It's our two on this Friday. It's a meat Friday.
Speaker 2: At that baked chicken pot pie, loaded mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie,
Speaker 2: and cupcakes. Cupcakes, Oh cupcakes. Who Yes, the cupcakes were
Speaker 2: a late ad to go along with pumpkin Poh.
Speaker 3: Good time.
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven three DP Show Email Andre stpat Dan
Speaker 2: Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show for the ladies.
Speaker 2: Brady Quinn will join us coming up here in a
Speaker 2: little bit stat of the day brought to you by
Speaker 2: Panini America, the official trading cards of the program. We
Speaker 2: got a busy night and Los Angeles. That's pretty much
Speaker 2: the center of the sports universe. Rams last night beat
Speaker 2: the Vikings. They're now three to four and probably not
Speaker 2: selling off anybody. They might be buyers. And then you
Speaker 2: got Yankey's Dodgers Game one coming up tonight, Garrett Cole
Speaker 2: versus Jack Flaherty. You also have Rutgers and USC You
Speaker 2: have the Lakers against the Phoenix Suns. All of that
Speaker 2: coming up tonight, all of that coming up this weekend.
Speaker 2: All right, eight seven to seven to three. DP Show
Speaker 2: Operator Tyler is sitting by he'll get your phone calls
Speaker 2: here coming up. We'll recap last night with the Rams,
Speaker 2: get everybody on the field, and they win. They put
Speaker 2: up a lot of offense. When you have Stafford and
Speaker 2: Cup and Nakua and Williams out there, they're putting up
Speaker 2: four hundred yards of offense averaging twenty eight points a game.
Speaker 2: And you're in a division that you can win because
Speaker 2: right now, Seattle's the only team that has a winning
Speaker 2: record in the NFC West. The Niners are banged up.
Speaker 2: The Niners got the Cowboys, and that's a tricky game
Speaker 2: because you think that the Cowboys are going to eventually
Speaker 2: have one of those games where you go, okay, they're
Speaker 2: pretty good, like they really need this, but could you
Speaker 2: see the Niners losing another game. I think it's a
Speaker 2: four point Niners spread in that game. But Dallas is
Speaker 2: going to get it right for a little while. I
Speaker 2: don't think it's consistent, but I do think that they'll
Speaker 2: have that run where they win three or four games
Speaker 2: in a row and then they'll have everybody go, well, Okay,
Speaker 2: the Cowboys, once they got healthy, they can be a
Speaker 2: team to be well. They're in a division where we
Speaker 2: know the Giants aren't very good. Eagles might be a
Speaker 2: little bit better than we are giving them credit for.
Speaker 2: And then you got the Commanders, and I think people
Speaker 2: are still fifty to fifty on is it legitimate? I
Speaker 2: think it is. I don't know if Jaden Daniels plays
Speaker 2: in the showdown against the Bears in Caleb Williams. But
Speaker 2: that's a good team. It's a good solid team. Are
Speaker 2: they a division winner? Well, the way the division is
Speaker 2: right now, sure, But the Eagles, to me, they're the
Speaker 2: ones that are probably more of a disappointment than a
Speaker 2: lot of these other Like I expect them to be
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl can but they don't feel they're a
Speaker 2: four and two team that feels like they're three and
Speaker 2: three or maybe two and four. You're just waiting because
Speaker 2: it feels like it's teetering on. Oh boy, this could
Speaker 2: be greater. Oh boy, this is going to go south
Speaker 2: in a hurry. But some of the matchups coming up
Speaker 2: this weekend. You got Ravens Browns. I keep waiting for
Speaker 2: the Browns to have one of those games. Just like
Speaker 2: when I said Carolina was going to beat the Raiders
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas, nobody had that. It was just a
Speaker 2: gut feeling the Browns are going to have one of
Speaker 2: those games where you go, I'll be damn now, they're
Speaker 2: going to do it without Deshaun Watson. And I always
Speaker 2: look for it's the game after the game where you go,
Speaker 2: you know, do the Lions play the Packers in two weeks?
Speaker 2: They got the Titans this week and the Titans are
Speaker 2: eleven and a half point underdogs. Here. It's like with
Speaker 2: college football. You got Oregon in Illinois, Well, who's Oregon
Speaker 2: play after this? They play at Michigan. That's where you
Speaker 2: get those trap games. That's where you get that team
Speaker 2: that's going, oh, yeah, we're gonna win that game, and
Speaker 2: then we're going to start gearing up for that team.
Speaker 2: But there's you know, like the Eagles are getting three
Speaker 2: against the Bengals. I mean, that's the Bengals season. They
Speaker 2: have to win that game. The Jets against the Patriots,
Speaker 2: the Jets are favored by seven. That is absolute must
Speaker 2: win here, but you must win ish. There's still if
Speaker 2: you look at the AFC, the teams that could be
Speaker 2: getting into the playoffs right now, the Colts in the Broncos.
Speaker 2: If you're the Jets, you have to be looking at
Speaker 2: this and going we wasted a golden opportunity. We should
Speaker 2: have at least two more wins, maybe three more wins.
Speaker 2: We should be the team to beat. We should be
Speaker 2: in the playoffs if the Colts and or Broncos get in.
Speaker 2: What an even bigger disappoint with the Jets the Chiefs
Speaker 2: against the Raiders. The Chiefs they're favored by nine and
Speaker 2: a half in this game. Wasn't there one of the
Speaker 2: defensive backs the Raiders, his name is Jack Jones, and
Speaker 2: he was asked this question about the showdown with Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2: Does that kind of help your game?
Speaker 1: Just not having that intimidation by a guy like Mahomes.
Speaker 4: Intimidata Baom, I mean, I don't think nobody in is
Speaker 4: locking room in timid data Biom.
Speaker 5: I mean there's good players all across the league.
Speaker 6: He had a good player, So you know, we see
Speaker 6: guys every week, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So, I mean we're not really we focused on us.
Speaker 2: It's more than we are about him, you know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying. Yes, what did you think he was going
Speaker 2: to say? Man, I'm intimidated, whether you are or not,
Speaker 2: you do not say that. Hey, you know you intimidated.
Speaker 2: But no, no, and why should he. I mean, Mahomes
Speaker 2: has been kind of average this year. The Chiefs offense
Speaker 2: has been I have averaged this year. But even then,
Speaker 2: at Mahomes' peak, you still can't say, yeah, I'm intimidating.
Speaker 2: John Smoltz, the pitcher, was talking about there were certain
Speaker 2: hitters that made him nervous. He said, Bonds did Pooholz
Speaker 2: made him nervous, Big Poppy made him nervous. Now you
Speaker 2: don't show that, and you never say that. And he
Speaker 2: wouldn't have said that while he was still pitching for
Speaker 2: the Braves. He said that last week after the fact.
Speaker 2: You can say, yeah, you made me nervous when I
Speaker 2: faced you. But the Raiders shouldn't be intimidated by Patrick
Speaker 2: Mahomes or vice versa. If you asked Mahomes about Max Crosby, Hey,
Speaker 2: does he intimidate you? What's Mahomes going to say? He's
Speaker 2: going to be like, I don't know what do you
Speaker 2: want me to say, I'm not going to show up,
Speaker 2: I'm nervous, I'm scared. He's a professional, he's ready to go.
Speaker 2: You love that, yes, Mark?
Speaker 7: And then the Raiders beat the Chiefs last year.
Speaker 2: That was Christmas Day, wasn't it was? That's when I thought, Okay,
Speaker 2: now we're going to see how good the Chiefs are
Speaker 2: because they got handled, like physically man handled there, and
Speaker 2: then we saw what that did for It was almost
Speaker 2: like it woke them up, like you can't go through
Speaker 2: the motions here. Whether they felt that way or not,
Speaker 2: that was the feeling I had when I watched them.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, they are pedestrian today. And
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden we saw what they were
Speaker 2: able to do. And you got a new receiver in there,
Speaker 2: working him into the lineup, de hop And you know,
Speaker 2: here's another thing. You know, DeAndre Hopkins was trashing the
Speaker 2: Titans on the way out. He chose to go to
Speaker 2: the Titans, like trash yourself, not them. You chose to
Speaker 2: go there. Revisionist history here, yes, Paulie.
Speaker 8: After you and Marvin said that the Chiefs lost to
Speaker 8: the Vegas on Christmas Day, I was like, I remember that,
Speaker 8: but how did that happen? The Aid O'Connell had sixty
Speaker 8: two yards passing in nine completions and somehow beat the
Speaker 8: Chiefs on Christmas Day?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's nutty.
Speaker 7: I forgot about that one.
Speaker 2: You can't stop Aiden O'Connell. You only hope to continue.
Speaker 8: You are right, there's like three or four games every
Speaker 8: year that a team that should not even be close
Speaker 8: to winning wins.
Speaker 2: Outright, it happens every single week. Where you go, how
Speaker 2: did that? You know? The matchups are always fascinating where
Speaker 2: you go, How did that team beat that team? Like
Speaker 2: bill Seahawks is a really interesting game. Bill's are favored
Speaker 2: by three in that game, Colts Texans is kind of
Speaker 2: sneaky good believe it or not. Colt's getting five. What
Speaker 2: else to back Arizona getting four against the Dolphins the
Speaker 2: Cowboys game, though, kind of weird feeling about that. I
Speaker 2: had a weird feeling about like you give me a
Speaker 2: home dog, and when I used to bet a home
Speaker 2: dog Monday night, always took the home dog always, And
Speaker 2: even last night standalone game Thursday night, I would have
Speaker 2: taken the Rams and the points at home. They had
Speaker 2: everybody back and we're still waiting to see if the
Speaker 2: Vikings are for real. And you know, it was a
Speaker 2: competitive game, interesting game. You had the controversy with the
Speaker 2: face mask, but that's not the reason why the Vikings lost.
Speaker 2: But it was entertaining, but it told me more about
Speaker 2: the Rams than it did the Vikings. I think the
Speaker 2: Vikings are going to be in all of their games
Speaker 2: this year, but the Rams, when they have it all together,
Speaker 2: they're as formidable as any offense in the NFL. Right now,
Speaker 2: Steven Burbank, Hi, Steve, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 5: Hi?
Speaker 4: Six to one, one ninety seven. Yeah, La is just
Speaker 4: levitating right now between the Rams, the Lakers, and the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: You know, the Lakers will probably win the playing tournament
Speaker 4: this year, but and then you know, we could have
Speaker 4: the Rams. But the play that you guys kept we
Speaker 4: you know, we're looking about is the face mask. If
Speaker 4: you look at it. And when I was looking at
Speaker 4: it live, I was waiting for someone to mention that
Speaker 4: after right after he did the defensive lineman you know,
Speaker 4: held his face mask, he put his hands to the
Speaker 4: side of his head like, oh man, I messed up
Speaker 4: big time. But I never heard anybody saying thing about it.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if if.
Speaker 2: Maybe he looked guilty, Steve, But there's nothing you could
Speaker 2: do if they didn't see it in the moment they
Speaker 2: they didn't. They can't huddle and go, hey, we missed
Speaker 2: a face mask here. Unless you throw a flag, then
Speaker 2: you can pick up the flag. You can't put the
Speaker 2: flag down after the fact, like they'll meet On second thought,
Speaker 2: we would like to put a flag down dropping some
Speaker 2: laundry on the field. Yeah. Don't they do that though,
Speaker 2: where they go back and they just drop a flag
Speaker 2: on the play? I think so, I don't. I don't
Speaker 2: think not in a situation like that where they missed
Speaker 2: the call. I don't think. Can you gather and go, hey,
Speaker 2: we miss the call, let's throw a flag there.
Speaker 6: I'm almost positive that they will do that inside two minutes.
Speaker 2: Is that factor in as well? I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm naive when it comes to this. I know they
Speaker 2: pick up flags. I don't know if they would do
Speaker 2: after the fact. If they got together right after that play.
Speaker 6: If they had gotten together fifteen seconds after that play
Speaker 6: and dropped the flag and bin like face mask, would
Speaker 6: anyone have been upset?
Speaker 2: No? But I don't know if they're allowed to.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel like they do. Maybe I'm imagining. I
Speaker 6: would hope that they would, but.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they allow them to have the
Speaker 2: you know, total autonomy to go, hey, yeah, we miss
Speaker 2: that maybe you know, Fritzy, reach out to Florio and
Speaker 2: just ask him or the NFL. I hate to bother them.
Speaker 2: They hate hearing from us. A nice Friday email from
Speaker 2: us and ask him how the commissioners doing as well? No,
Speaker 2: don't do that, just kidding, all right. Poll question for
Speaker 2: hour two is going to be one Seaton, No gun.
Speaker 2: He doesn't appreciate that sense. He does not the commissioner.
Speaker 2: That commissioner doesn't have a sense of humor like the
Speaker 2: other ones do with me.
Speaker 6: And you think about rob Manfred just taking like, hey,
Speaker 6: so what's your contract status?
Speaker 2: How do your raise his work?
Speaker 6: You know?
Speaker 2: Yes? And Adam Adam Silver has a sense of humor
Speaker 2: with me. Yeah, he's a boss, Yes he is. And
Speaker 2: I appreciate that the NFL commissioner has no sense of
Speaker 2: humor and no time for me. And do not promise me,
Speaker 2: promise me last show. The commissioner does not come on?
Speaker 2: All right, Roger Goodell, I'm sure he'll promise that he
Speaker 2: won't come on.
Speaker 7: He just called in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't. I don't. I don't want him, Okay, Todd,
Speaker 2: that's fine. I don't want this surprise. I don't. I
Speaker 2: don't want that. That's that's not emblematic of what the
Speaker 2: show has been about. Yes see, do you have.
Speaker 6: The same rule for Michael Jordan, who's been dodging us
Speaker 6: for thirty years too.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna let him call in. Yeah, at one time,
Speaker 2: that's good. I support that.
Speaker 6: I just wanted to make sure that MJ's not off
Speaker 6: the table too, because if he decided, hey, last show,
Speaker 6: I'm gonna call in.
Speaker 7: Great.
Speaker 2: I think there's a chance Jordan will call in my
Speaker 2: last show, you do, I do? I do a better
Speaker 2: chance than the NFL commissioner. But you know what, commissioners
Speaker 2: normally don't want to tell you anything like it sounds.
Speaker 2: I remember when we work together at ESPN, We're like,
Speaker 2: we're getting the commissioner on, and then they don't say anything.
Speaker 2: So it's a disservice to the audience. Now, these commissioners
Speaker 2: Adam Silver and Rob Manfred, all right, you're telling me
Speaker 2: there's gonna be automatic balls and strikes in the next
Speaker 2: four years. All right, we get some news out of this.
Speaker 2: But Adam Silver, with some of the chain has he made,
Speaker 2: with suggestions that I made to him. I appreciate that.
Speaker 2: But this commissioner, he's not. I shouldn't have got sidetracked.
Speaker 2: Yeh suh.
Speaker 6: The mist faced mask, the missed face mask call. Sorry,
Speaker 6: that's hard for me to say. The mist face mask call.
Speaker 6: In the Rams Vikings game is NBD or BD no.
Speaker 2: Big deal or big deal.
Speaker 8: Here's a segment.
Speaker 2: Wow, NBD or BD right now? B D seventy nine percent.
Speaker 2: It's a big deal, I guess because of the it's
Speaker 2: an eight point margin. If it was nine points, then
Speaker 2: I think it would be NBD. But all right, b D, yeah,
Speaker 2: all right, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 8: NBD or BD is locked for the future of this show,
Speaker 8: just like Off or Off Off, which crushed.
Speaker 2: Yesterday and in or Out or most must win Game
Speaker 2: of the weekend or Dour rankings we're crushing right, Yeah.
Speaker 6: We got segments on segments on segments right here, NBD
Speaker 6: or b D.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that. But coming up, it's b Q.
Speaker 2: It's Brady Quinn. I see what you do with the initials.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Todd.
Speaker 8: Yes, by the way, Sports Center had a segment this morning,
Speaker 8: playoff or layoff.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's just bruin my week I playoff
Speaker 2: or layoff? How did we not come.
Speaker 7: Up with that?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: So jealous? I'm going to layoff here. I don't think
Speaker 2: the titles are coming up. Playoffs or layoffs. D Grass
Speaker 2: will join us, swag o, Ryan Clark, postseason or end
Speaker 2: of season?
Speaker 7: What did Jerry said?
Speaker 2: Go ahead? Yeah, that's real. That is that's every every day.
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones must love the Mothership because every day he
Speaker 2: gives them something and he gets his publicity. It's a
Speaker 2: it's a beautiful relationship between those two. All right, let
Speaker 2: me take a break. Rady Quinn will join us. You
Speaker 2: get get your phone calls coming up. Recap what's ahead
Speaker 2: for this college football weekend, the NFL Weekend World Series tonight.
Speaker 2: And Fritzie keeps saying, do not sleep on Rutgers USC.
Speaker 2: You know I'm going to.
Speaker 7: I'm literally that, but I think it's going to be
Speaker 7: pretty hot.
Speaker 2: It's eleven Eastern. I'm literally going to sleep on USC
Speaker 2: and Rutgers. I am.
Speaker 3: Rutgers is gonna keep that with it about four or
Speaker 3: five points.
Speaker 2: What's the betting line on that?
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I feel twenty seven to twenty
Speaker 3: three Trojans is what I'm feeling.
Speaker 2: Okay, check the bomb, do you ah? That's right? We
Speaker 2: got a pea bomb coming up at some point today.
Speaker 2: Pauli's got his pea bomb pe bomb. Let's take a
Speaker 2: break back after this.
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
Speaker 1: dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to
Speaker 1: listen live.
Speaker 2: He's Brady Quinn, Fox College football analyst, former Notre Dame quarterback,
Speaker 2: former Cleveland Brown quarterback. Had the Browns reached out to you,
Speaker 2: Brady about playing for them again?
Speaker 9: No, they have not, But look, I'm excited for a
Speaker 9: couple of reasons. Obviously, what happened to DeShawn is awful,
Speaker 9: and even worse obviously the reaction from the crowd, But
Speaker 9: it does provide an opportunity to see what Jameis Winston
Speaker 9: can do. And I am one of the biggest Jamis
Speaker 9: Winston fans. I just love everything he brings to a team,
Speaker 9: as far as everything he does as a leader and
Speaker 9: how he communicates.
Speaker 7: But also I think he can play.
Speaker 9: I was shocked teams didn't try to trade for him
Speaker 9: before the season started, because there were some places I
Speaker 9: thought he would be a better quarterback than the situation
Speaker 9: they had going in the season.
Speaker 7: So he gets his shot, his opportunity.
Speaker 9: We saw what this team did last year with backup
Speaker 9: quarterbacks still making the playoffs, so hopefully he can make
Speaker 9: a run for my Brownies. But also, Ken Dorsey call
Speaker 9: him plays. I was with Ken for a couple of
Speaker 9: years and he's one of the better offensive minds that
Speaker 9: I've been around as a player that's now turned into
Speaker 9: a coach.
Speaker 7: So I'm excited for his opportunity.
Speaker 2: Would you rather have Joe Flacco or Jamis Winston with
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns?
Speaker 9: Probably Jamis, and I mean, obviously it's a hypothetical that's
Speaker 9: not possible right now. Now, if we went back to
Speaker 9: the beginning of the season, it would be hard not
Speaker 9: to go with Flacco based on what he did for
Speaker 9: the Browns last year. But look, we had to play
Speaker 9: against that guy. You know, Joe's Joe's a heck of
Speaker 9: a player. There's a reason why he still play and
Speaker 9: still able to do it at a high level. But
Speaker 9: I would I mean, look, Jamis is the guy for
Speaker 9: right now, that's all.
Speaker 2: Who who will be the starting quarterback for the Browns
Speaker 2: next year?
Speaker 7: I think it will still be de Shaun Watson.
Speaker 9: Okay, now that's pending that he's able to come back
Speaker 9: from the injury and rehab and be ready to go
Speaker 9: in time. If that's not the case, clearly it could
Speaker 9: be Jamis, could be someone else, depending on how this
Speaker 9: you know, this year goes. I guess for Jamis, but
Speaker 9: pending that he's healthy enough to come back, I just
Speaker 9: think the contract straps Cleveland the situation for at least
Speaker 9: another year. I think the other unfortunate part was that
Speaker 9: was probably one of his better.
Speaker 7: Games before he got injured. So that's disappointed to.
Speaker 2: See Brady Quinn and the big noon kickoff crew in Columbus.
Speaker 2: It's Ohio State hosting Nebraska pregame show on Fox Airs
Speaker 2: every Saturday starting at ten a m. Eastern. You got
Speaker 2: a good handle on Ohio State, I.
Speaker 9: Think so, although a couple of weeks ago when they
Speaker 9: lost to Oregon, that game was a bit surprising to me.
Speaker 9: I thought watching both teams all year, Ohio State was
Speaker 9: the much better team, and when it came down to it,
Speaker 9: Oregon was able to get Evan Stewart involved. I think
Speaker 9: everyone who didn't know who that was probably does now
Speaker 9: that follows college football, and they'll see when people start
Speaker 9: talking about the draft when he's draft eligible and ready
Speaker 9: to go with the speed that he has, the big playability,
Speaker 9: and obviously Dylan Gabriel too, I think helped himself out
Speaker 9: in his draft stock. But Oregon didn't look like that
Speaker 9: coming into the game. So that was a huge statement
Speaker 9: I think for them, be for Ohio State, it's diagn
Speaker 9: why have they struggled so bad on defense to stop
Speaker 9: the run in these big games? To get more pressure
Speaker 9: on opposing quarterbacks. They've got the talent, they've got the ability,
Speaker 9: is it, scheme is it? Some of these guys, they
Speaker 9: don't have enough depth to rotate them out and put
Speaker 9: fresher guys in to allow JT. Twey Moloau and Jack
Speaker 9: Sawyer and guys like that to go out for the quarterback.
Speaker 9: I think over the bye week they had a lot
Speaker 9: of questions to answer on the defensive side of the ball.
Speaker 2: Give me the game that you're just not quite sure
Speaker 2: that the team that's supposed to win is going to win.
Speaker 7: Oh, that's a tough one for this week, I guess.
Speaker 9: Look, I'll start off by talking about Notre Dame, and
Speaker 9: in part because I think I go back to the
Speaker 9: Northern Illinois loss and I feel like when you have
Speaker 9: a game like that, every game after that, you're kind
Speaker 9: of like, I don't know they should win. I think
Speaker 9: they're gonna win handily. I think the passing game is
Speaker 9: gonna look better this week than it ever has. But
Speaker 9: this is a Navy team that's undefeated, and I know
Speaker 9: they haven't played the most difficult schedule. But Blake Horvaf
Speaker 9: their quarterback, who also as a Columbus product by the way,
Speaker 9: as the Hilio Derby kid. I always try to follow
Speaker 9: those quarterbacks from areas where I'm from, and he's done
Speaker 9: a phenomenal job for him this year. And I think
Speaker 9: defensively too, there'll be some wrinkles for him. So that's
Speaker 9: one game that concerns me because Dan these games, you know,
Speaker 9: when you play against a triple option or option style team,
Speaker 9: they start practicing back in the spring for this.
Speaker 7: There's training camp.
Speaker 9: Even the bye week, you'll start implementing some of the
Speaker 9: option plays just to get your defense ready for it,
Speaker 9: because it's so tough to prepare for everything you're going
Speaker 9: to face in just a week's time. And I know
Speaker 9: people at home are like, come on, this should never happen. Well,
Speaker 9: like they're undefeeding right now is the first team. Both
Speaker 9: teams Army and Navy have been unterfeat it since like
Speaker 9: nineteen twenty six. So let's let's give a lot of
Speaker 9: those young men credit and the coaching staffs because they
Speaker 9: don't have an NIL fund.
Speaker 7: It's not like they're turning rosters over to fransfer Portal,
Speaker 7: all right. They're doing it the old school way with
Speaker 7: these old.
Speaker 9: School offenses, and it's awesome to see them having so
Speaker 9: much success in this era.
Speaker 7: Of college football.
Speaker 2: Okay, but explain this to me, and I know it's
Speaker 2: probably like a baseball hitter facing a knuckleballer. You're not
Speaker 2: going to see it very often. You got to kind
Speaker 2: of get adjusted to it, and then you don't see
Speaker 2: it again the rest of the season. You're facing Army
Speaker 2: and you're facing Navy, and from the when we watch this,
Speaker 2: it just looks like it's slight a hand, Like there's
Speaker 2: three or four different people in a small area who
Speaker 2: could all end up with the ball and it's really
Speaker 2: just kind of sleight of hand here. But for the defense,
Speaker 2: why is it so difficult to be able to kind
Speaker 2: of I don't know, take this into perspective of who's
Speaker 2: got the ball.
Speaker 9: Because we're asking eighteen to twenty two year olds to
Speaker 9: be disciplined, right, I mean.
Speaker 7: That's the reality of what it is. It's they're going
Speaker 7: to come down to.
Speaker 9: There's gonna be a read off of one guy three
Speaker 9: separate times throughout a play when you're talking about the
Speaker 9: triple option, and at some point you're betting that either
Speaker 9: you're in space is better than that guy, or that
Speaker 9: guy who's reading is gonna make mistake, or someone else
Speaker 9: is gonna make a mistake. And that's what it comes
Speaker 9: down to. And I think, look, it puts pressure on offenses.
Speaker 9: I remember when we'd play Navy back in the day,
Speaker 9: you got like nine possessions and so you better score
Speaker 9: because they're going to score, and they're gonna eat up
Speaker 9: the clock, and they're gonna go for fourth downs like
Speaker 9: they're not afraid when it's fourth and three to go
Speaker 9: for it because they understand like what's at stake if
Speaker 9: they don't get it, and so they're much more aggressive
Speaker 9: in that sense. So it put puts pressure on everyone
Speaker 9: to be disciplined. They always hear I discipline well more
Speaker 9: so than ever versus option teams like this, And also
Speaker 9: to their credit, they're.
Speaker 7: So good at running these plays.
Speaker 9: Like I can recall a time when I was watching
Speaker 9: because like, this is an offense that you don't see
Speaker 9: very often, so you want to watch those guys do it.
Speaker 9: And I swear to god, it looked like their quarterback
Speaker 9: back when I was playing, was going on like it
Speaker 9: was like an a limbo, like he was going under
Speaker 9: the bar and he was his back was almost touching
Speaker 9: the ground.
Speaker 7: He still pitched the ball off to the pitch man,
Speaker 7: And I thought.
Speaker 9: To myself, like, we did everything right, but we couldn't
Speaker 9: stop that particular place.
Speaker 7: So it just comes down to discipline.
Speaker 9: That Again, it's par for eighteen and twenty three year
Speaker 9: olds to be disciplined sometimes.
Speaker 2: Okay, if it comes down to this, let's say Army
Speaker 2: or Navy are there for that twelfth spot or Illinois.
Speaker 2: Let's say is like we're putting on a TV show here.
Speaker 2: The twelve team playoff is a team. It is a
Speaker 2: TV show, whether you want to agree to it or not.
Speaker 2: But it's about entertainment. It's about storylines as well. Can
Speaker 2: you see where the committee would lean towards one of
Speaker 2: the military academies.
Speaker 9: I think if it falls within the guidelines, right if
Speaker 9: they happen to be the highest rank that comes from
Speaker 9: a group of five as far as far as a
Speaker 9: conference champ, and then they also have to be undefeated.
Speaker 9: I do think it's going to take a team that's undefeated,
Speaker 9: Like I kind of thought Liberty might have a shot
Speaker 9: before the season. Obviously, their hopes went down the drain
Speaker 9: in dramatic fashion earlier this week, so they won't be
Speaker 9: a part of that. But I think it's going to
Speaker 9: take either Navy or Army in this case, to be
Speaker 9: undefeated and be the conference champ of the AC when
Speaker 9: it's all said and done.
Speaker 7: I think that's the only way they can get in.
Speaker 9: And obviously these two teams score offers is one another,
Speaker 9: so we know that's not gonna be a possibility for
Speaker 9: one of them. But I think in that scenario, I
Speaker 9: personally would love to see it. You know, I've gotten
Speaker 9: to know coach Mankin an Army over the years with
Speaker 9: the work my foundation does, and when you think about
Speaker 9: what these young men are signing up for after college
Speaker 9: and all that, there's a much bigger picture here, So
Speaker 9: I think it'd be fascinating to see.
Speaker 7: I think it'd be you know, time plays to the advantage.
Speaker 9: Though of the teams they're playing in the playoff, because
Speaker 9: they've got a little additional time to break down and prepare,
Speaker 9: you know, for that scheme. But during the course of
Speaker 9: regular season a little different obviously. But I'd love to
Speaker 9: see it, and I won't say I hope it happens,
Speaker 9: but it would be fun to watch and see how
Speaker 9: that would play out.
Speaker 2: What if an Obama loses to Missouri, I think.
Speaker 9: They're out of the playoff probably, I mean, if you're
Speaker 9: gonna give the best bigger than that, I don't I
Speaker 9: guess I don't want to react too much. In year
Speaker 9: one under killing to Bor, I mean, he's got big
Speaker 9: shoes to fill. That's stating the obvious. But go back
Speaker 9: to Nick Saban's early time too at Alabama.
Speaker 7: I mean he didn't have it all together in year
Speaker 7: one either.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he was taking over a bad program. Kaylin
Speaker 2: de Boor's walking into a national championship caliber monster.
Speaker 9: And I think the difference there is like the expectations, right,
Speaker 9: And so you tell me what's harder. Is it easier
Speaker 9: to take something that's completely knocked down to rebuild, or
Speaker 9: is it easier to then take a home that's per scene,
Speaker 9: that's beautiful, but you want to make some tweaks and
Speaker 9: changes that are pretty significant to that house. Go as
Speaker 9: a contract, they'll probably tell you're going to charge you
Speaker 9: more for that remodel as opposed to just knocking it
Speaker 9: down and building it up clean. And I think that's
Speaker 9: kind of the case too sometimes with coaches when they
Speaker 9: take over a program, Like there was no expectation when
Speaker 9: Nick Saban first got there. I mean, yes, he had
Speaker 9: won previously at LSU, so that was the expectation. And obviously,
Speaker 9: you know, getting to the NFL and coming back to college,
Speaker 9: but the reality is, you know, the expectation was different.
Speaker 9: You know now for Alabama, they expect to go win
Speaker 9: SEC championships and go play for national championships. So it's
Speaker 9: hard to you know, keep up to that standard while
Speaker 9: you're still trying to put your fingerprints on how you're
Speaker 9: going to make it a little bit different or your style,
Speaker 9: Like you can't ask Kaitlyn to Boord to walk in
Speaker 9: and be exactly not Saban, Like they know he's not
Speaker 9: that guy. He's going to be his own guy, is
Speaker 9: going to lead in his own way. It might take
Speaker 9: a little bit of time.
Speaker 2: When you look at NIL, we're hearing more coaches. Tony
Speaker 2: Bennett Virginia decides to retire and Gino Oriema was railing
Speaker 2: about this. Saban steps out, Jay Wright steps down. We're
Speaker 2: starting to see like the impact this is going to
Speaker 2: have on the coaching community. And these are big names
Speaker 2: who were stepping down. I'm just curious, really what the
Speaker 2: coaching life span is it is going to be with
Speaker 2: these guys who are getting into it now. Is it
Speaker 2: a young man's game, you know, and not necessarily you know,
Speaker 2: the older school guys who want to put up with this.
Speaker 9: It's a hard question to answer because I think every university,
Speaker 9: every situation is different. I think those that are more
Speaker 9: prepared to transition into what the Nile world has brought us,
Speaker 9: and that's obviously we can call it like it's not
Speaker 9: pay for play, but it is, and it's more of
Speaker 9: a professional organization is really what it's evolving into. And
Speaker 9: I think the universities that have set themselves up to
Speaker 9: be able to succeed, clearly they.
Speaker 7: Have head coaches that aren't as burdened by all of this.
Speaker 9: I think the universities that struggle to do it when
Speaker 9: you look at what these head coaches are asked to do.
Speaker 9: I mean, on top of their own roster evaluation and
Speaker 9: evaluating high school recruits. Now it's evaluating, you know, potential
Speaker 9: players who are in the portal or potential players elsewhere
Speaker 9: who might be in the portal. It's fundraising not just
Speaker 9: for the university, but now for your nil and your collective.
Speaker 9: It's all these different hats they have to wear, and
Speaker 9: it's extremely stressful for these guys. I mean, you look
Speaker 9: at Chip Kelly for example, not to get away from
Speaker 9: Tony Bennet and basketball, but he leaves a head coaching
Speaker 9: job and a Power five school that's moving to the
Speaker 9: Big Ten to come be an offensive coordinator because he
Speaker 9: just wants to co coach. That to me was the
Speaker 9: biggest statement that was made this entire offseason, and I
Speaker 9: think that's kind of where things are at now. And
Speaker 9: if you look at Ryan Day and how he's transitioned
Speaker 9: to this more of CEO as a head coach, I
Speaker 9: think that's really what the future of college football head
Speaker 9: coaching is going to look like. It's going to look
Speaker 9: like a guy who's really overseeing the entire organization and
Speaker 9: not just one side of the football or overseeing his
Speaker 9: staff and his players. It's going to have a lot
Speaker 9: more involvement in the business affairs of what that school,
Speaker 9: what that team's doing.
Speaker 2: It's kind of quiet with Dion and Colorado, considering how
Speaker 2: loud it was last year. But they're playing well. Doesn't
Speaker 2: feel like, you know, all the pregame shows are going
Speaker 2: to Colorado. You know, celebrities are going. You know. It
Speaker 2: just kind of like this seems like it's a good
Speaker 2: thing for Colorado and for Dion is Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 9: But I think there's also still there's still some celebrities going.
Speaker 9: There's still waves and all that. I mean when they
Speaker 9: go places like you know, because of I think what
Speaker 9: they build and because of the reputation. You know, there's
Speaker 9: a lot more excitement around those games and people want
Speaker 9: to beat them. Like I think as much as there
Speaker 9: are CU fans who jumped on the bandwagon are prime
Speaker 9: fans or Shadure Travis Hunter, there's also those people who
Speaker 9: probably want to see them lose because of how.
Speaker 7: They do it.
Speaker 9: So, I mean, the attention is still there, I think
Speaker 9: as far as like the newness of it and the
Speaker 9: style and everything else. Yeah, that ebbs and flows, and
Speaker 9: you got to continue to keep following the story of
Speaker 9: college football. But I think the best thing about what
Speaker 9: you just said is there's not as much noise, but
Speaker 9: there's still very much in it. I mean, the Big
Speaker 9: Twelve is as wide open as any Shador's playing like
Speaker 9: a guy who might be the first overall pick, and
Speaker 9: in my opinion, if he wins the Big Twelve and
Speaker 9: they're playing the College Football Playoff, you know, maybe you're
Speaker 9: looking at them saying he's got a shot to win
Speaker 9: the Heisman as well. And Travis Hunter very much as
Speaker 9: if he continues to play both ways and put up stats,
Speaker 9: he might too. So I think it actually is a
Speaker 9: bigger statement the fact that there's still very much in
Speaker 9: the hunt, and yet you're not hearing as much noise.
Speaker 7: Now it's about the walk. It's not all the talk
Speaker 7: like some people who said a year.
Speaker 2: Ago, Yeah, it's gonna be interesting. Though, when they lose
Speaker 2: Travis Hunter and they lose your door, then then we're
Speaker 2: gonna sit prime gonna have to get out on the road,
Speaker 2: I think, and do a little more recruiting. When you
Speaker 2: know you don't have your son there as your quarterback.
Speaker 9: Maybe you know, we don't know that he's got his
Speaker 9: own tacic on style of doing it, and you know,
Speaker 9: maybe he feels like that's what's most efficient.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but those are two of the top five to
Speaker 2: ten players in the draft that he has.
Speaker 9: Right, But are you going to turn down an invitation
Speaker 9: from Deon Sanders to fly out to Colorado.
Speaker 7: And visit with him?
Speaker 9: Like, are you go to be stubborn about it and
Speaker 9: say no, no, no, we want him to come to our house. Like,
Speaker 9: if theoretically we think about it, he can visit with
Speaker 9: more recruits, more prospects by staying in one place as
Speaker 9: opposed to traveling everywhere.
Speaker 7: And look, let's just be real.
Speaker 9: There's not many people who can do that, but he
Speaker 9: can because he is prime.
Speaker 7: Because people are sitting there saying, yeah.
Speaker 9: I'll go take that visit, like I'll go out to
Speaker 9: the mountains and check that out and go hang out
Speaker 9: with Deon Sanders out there. So that does play to
Speaker 9: his advantage, There's no doubt about it, because of his career,
Speaker 9: in particular the impact that has on the parents.
Speaker 7: I mean, DP think about us.
Speaker 9: I mean I was at this kind of tail end
Speaker 9: obviously as like a young kid remembering how amazing Dion
Speaker 9: was no matter where he you know where he was
Speaker 9: and the two sport athlete he was. But the parents
Speaker 9: remember more than anything else, like half the time, even
Speaker 9: if their kid's not interested in the.
Speaker 7: Parents are going like you're going out the border Colorado.
Speaker 2: Could he have talked to you out of going to
Speaker 2: Notre Dame?
Speaker 7: Yeah? Have you talked to Dion?
Speaker 9: I mean, come on, he's one of the most perspassive
Speaker 9: people ever. So yeah, I mean he's I think too
Speaker 9: when you look at and right, wrong or indifferent. I
Speaker 9: mean the way he's put an offense around that highlight
Speaker 9: shadere or in particular the quarterback position, that'd be attractive
Speaker 9: to any quarterback who's looking at trying to make a
Speaker 9: name for themselves and trying to you know, whether it's
Speaker 9: win a conference championship, national championship, and trying to win
Speaker 9: a heisman like that sells that. That works in this
Speaker 9: world of college foot with all the seven on seven
Speaker 9: leagues everything else, that sells hard.
Speaker 2: Good to talk to you again, have fun this weekend.
Speaker 2: Thanks Brading, Hey Dan, thanks for having me a part
Speaker 2: of Meat Fridays. You're welcome. You're welcome to come you
Speaker 2: got to come to the home office. I mean, I'm dion,

Speaker 2: experience meat Friday.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna have some steak tonight though, so hopefully you
Speaker 7: do it.
Speaker 2: It's not the same. It's it's not the same. It's
Speaker 2: about teamwork, it's about getting together, it's about liking each other.
Speaker 2: Something that didn't happen at Notre Dame maybe doesn't happen
Speaker 2: on Fox. We got to wait. I gotta wait Fox.
Speaker 7: I can attest him. We had last.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So did somebody get after it a
Speaker 2: little bit?
Speaker 7: I don't know how early, Matt Leonard or marketing. I'll
Speaker 7: leave it at that.
Speaker 2: Tell Liner And he's not at usc anymore.
Speaker 9: I try to, but you know, he's out there. He's
Speaker 9: just he's still that West Coast guy trying to catch
Speaker 9: some waves.
Speaker 7: He's kind of in the South Bay.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 7: He's out there in the South Bay.
Speaker 2: Lad, he's catching waves in Columbus, Ohio.
Speaker 7: Well not here.
Speaker 9: I mean, I'm not here, but he's probably getting right
Speaker 9: off the plane in like board shorts.
Speaker 7: What has changed? So he's finally adapting to that very well?

Speaker 2: somebody's got to win? Hm? Well, I want to see
Speaker 2: the play calling with the Cowboys. Since Jerry Jones called
Speaker 2: out Mike McCarthy, Does anything change.
Speaker 8: I thought you're gonna say. Since Jerry Jones took over
Speaker 8: the place. Well, I honestly thought you were gonna say.
Speaker 2: He probably did. Yes, Yeah, we're running to the left.
Speaker 2: I mean, what would we be surprised if he somehow
Speaker 2: was coaching from his suite.
Speaker 8: It would be interesting to know if he's ever called
Speaker 8: down at halftime with a a football decision, a jet Sweet.
Speaker 2: Tell dak CD backed shoulder fade.
Speaker 6: It would be kind of awesome if you know how
Speaker 6: they do that the the view sometimes the camera where
Speaker 6: it's like right in that guy's face, but they're up
Speaker 6: in the booth and they're watching like the play calls
Speaker 6: or whatever, and all of a sudden, Jerry's head pokes
Speaker 6: out from behind somebody.
Speaker 2: NBA Saturday, it'll be uh, Clay Thompson at the Suns,
Speaker 2: the Maps at the Suns, Rockets, Spurs, Kings and the
Speaker 2: Lakers and then LSU, Texas A and M. LSU is

Speaker 2: can be anything you want. Todd, who had the best
Speaker 2: week in sports?
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say based on what's upcoming and after what
Speaker 3: happened last night Los Angeles. The Rams had a nice
Speaker 3: win over the Vikings, gave you a second straight lost.
Speaker 3: You got the Dodgers at home, USC at home against Rutgers.
Speaker 3: It's all about La these next few days.
Speaker 2: Okay, Seaton best week in sports?
Speaker 6: It's kind of obvious, but I think Commissioner Rob Manfred
Speaker 6: is having a fantastic week. Okay, you know, do the
Speaker 6: victory lap, do the media be visible. You got Yankees, Dodgers,
Speaker 6: both coasts involved. Show Hayes back.
Speaker 2: You know, and he came on the show and had
Speaker 2: a good appearance there as well. Let's go Marvin. Best
Speaker 2: week in Sports turned in by JJ Reddick.
Speaker 3: He had a really good star he got Bronnie and
Speaker 3: lebron in and he didn't, you know, hurt the game
Speaker 3: or anything, hurt the game plan and he didn't have.
Speaker 7: His hands in his pocket the entire game. Wow all
Speaker 7: a couple of time.
Speaker 2: Outs shot at Darvin Ham Paul best week in sports.
Speaker 8: I gotta go audible, Rob Manfred is a one seed.
Speaker 8: I'm gonna go recency bias Pat Nardouzi, the head coach
Speaker 8: of Pitt.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 8: The reason is Pitt football has not been nationally relevant
Speaker 8: a long time national TV to get a little run
Speaker 8: last night. They have got some games coming up. They
Speaker 8: have SMU and Clemson both ranked. They could get in
Speaker 8: the playoffs.
Speaker 2: They got a lot of work to do.
Speaker 8: But that's a great night for them.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, okay, and you really like their uniforms.
Speaker 7: Oh they're gorgeous.
