Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Stay in your lane. Now. The reason why
Speaker 1: I brought this up because I didn't do anything on
Speaker 1: my vacation, nothing, and I'm proud of that, except for
Speaker 1: one night we got really crazy at my house. I thought,
Speaker 1: why don't we get pizza from all? Like, there's four
Speaker 1: pizza places in New Haven that we go to, very
Speaker 1: well known, Sally's, Peppes, Modern Bar. And I said to
Speaker 1: one of my daughters, I said, how about you order them, go,
Speaker 1: get them, bring them back, and then we'll have a contest.
Speaker 1: We'll do a blind taste test with all the pizza,
Speaker 1: and then we rated it, you know, appearance crossed, okay,
Speaker 1: you know all those things. So that that's how crazy
Speaker 1: my weekend, my week off, God, that was crazy. And
Speaker 1: I had a couple of beers with the pizza as well.
Speaker 1: I left that out. But I've been told to stay
Speaker 1: in my lane when it comes to pizza. And they
Speaker 1: are great pizza places around America. I'm just talking about
Speaker 1: if you're looking for pizza and you go into New Haven,
Speaker 1: the odds are you're gonna get a Now you don't
Speaker 1: get a good slice. That's the that's the big downer
Speaker 1: about the pizza New Haven. If I go into New
Speaker 1: York of Brooklyn, I can get a slice of pizza.
Speaker 1: True pizza places don't sell slices. The high end ones
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn and New York do not. Like Lombardies are
Speaker 1: different places like that. In New York they do not
Speaker 1: sell slices. The high end ones Grimaldi's like mclovin's favorite,
Speaker 1: they don't sell slices. They sell pizzas. But I like
Speaker 1: having that slice. Yeah, there's something great about a slice
Speaker 1: of pizza. And also it depends on the brown bag. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when you have the pizza also factors in how good
Speaker 1: you know at one in the morning that pizza tastes
Speaker 1: so damn good man. By the way, should we send
Speaker 1: like Mario or somebody else to get some pizza? Correct? Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: how about Wednesday? We have It's Pizza Wednesday. You have
Speaker 1: to have a literation. I have no literation there with pizza.
Speaker 1: We start Pizza Wednesday on Monday because I know I'm
Speaker 1: kind of hungry. Now, all right, all right, so welcome
Speaker 1: to the program. Already in progress. We talked to a
Speaker 1: Pat Forty from Sports Illustrated. First hour about college football season,
Speaker 1: and he's not very optimistic that we're going to get
Speaker 1: this thing started and at least started on time. We'll
Speaker 1: check in with the Washington Redskins. They are set to
Speaker 1: announce their new team nickname. Who won the poll question
Speaker 1: from the first hour on what the audience thinks they'll
Speaker 1: pick the Redtails. A second is generals? What what are
Speaker 1: these people thinking? You can't have the generals? Because first
Speaker 1: of all, the Washington Generals they were always the foils
Speaker 1: to the Harlem globe trotters. They always lost um. And
Speaker 1: then people are gonna have problems with, well, what generals
Speaker 1: are we talking about? What about the Washington Native Americans?
Speaker 1: How about that one? That's why you keep it in
Speaker 1: the genre of what they else started with. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: not gonna go over well, but Daniel Snyder is bowing
Speaker 1: to the pressure here, and I think he's gonna I
Speaker 1: think it'll turn out great for him. At least it should,
Speaker 1: But with Daniel Snyder it might not. But you're gonna
Speaker 1: get whole new merchandising revenue here. To me, it's a
Speaker 1: windfall with that. You know you can you can be
Speaker 1: you can say to your loyal fan base. Hey, I tried,
Speaker 1: but they you know, I was forced to do this.
Speaker 1: But then you can also say I'm going to create
Speaker 1: a whole new revenue stream of merchandise here and I
Speaker 1: and I also think the commissioner is going to get
Speaker 1: a paddle on the back here too. And I don't
Speaker 1: know if he's had any real involvement here, but it's
Speaker 1: under his watch, and I think that he is concerned
Speaker 1: about his legacy here other than hey, I made these
Speaker 1: guys a whole lot of on a yes time. Well,
Speaker 1: they immediately stopped selling the old offensive logo. The reason,
Speaker 1: I ask is because people like whether it's offensive or
Speaker 1: not the old school thing, because then they can make
Speaker 1: money in two ways, the new ones and everyone that's
Speaker 1: rushing to buy the now old school logo. I don't
Speaker 1: know what the market's going to be, but there are
Speaker 1: going to be people who are still going to wear
Speaker 1: that logo. They're going to wear that merchandise. The Atlanta
Speaker 1: Braves are not changing their nickname, but they're reassessing the
Speaker 1: tomahawk chop. How are you going to police that? I
Speaker 1: know it sounds good, like, hey, I just thought that
Speaker 1: make the logo look proud, you know, the one with
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Indians. That's embarrassing. The Chicago Blackhawks did it correctly.
Speaker 1: It's beautiful, it's gorgeous. You could be proud of at
Speaker 1: least seeing what it looks like. The Blackhawk tribe, the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Indians. It looks like, you know, somebody's ready to
Speaker 1: attack you. And it's a it's a cartoon character. That
Speaker 1: was the problem I had with it. But Cleveland Indians
Speaker 1: are going to change the look of their logo. I
Speaker 1: don't know if they change the nickname, but yeah, and
Speaker 1: nobody's going to be happy. There'll be people who are unhappy,
Speaker 1: I should say, with whatever Washington picks. But you can't have,
Speaker 1: you know, the monuments. We've been tearing down monuments and
Speaker 1: statues and what are some of the other names. So
Speaker 1: Vegas has odds, Redtails is a nod to the Tuskegee Airmen,
Speaker 1: and I think that's great. Generals, I don't like that.
Speaker 1: Presidents don't like that. Lincoln's veterans veterans. I would be
Speaker 1: fine with capitals spelled with an O instead of an A. Americans,
Speaker 1: the Washington Americans memorials is there monuments. Kings can't do
Speaker 1: Kings Roosevelts. I think we've already had some issues with
Speaker 1: a Roosevelt, haven't we. RedHawks Renegades Renegade is all right,
Speaker 1: but that's that's where we are this morning. And I
Speaker 1: don't know what's the time frame, but it feels like
Speaker 1: it's it's eminent that we're going to be changing that nickname. Yes, boy,
Speaker 1: I'm really curious when Daniel Snyder, the owner of the Redskins,
Speaker 1: decides to do interviews after whatever name is released, when
Speaker 1: he's asked the question why now, and how honest he is, because,
Speaker 1: like the press release mentioned sponsors in the first paragraph,
Speaker 1: and he was completely transparent. This is about I mean,
Speaker 1: they sent out a memo it and it talked about
Speaker 1: it said sponsors, and then it said so here's the statement.
Speaker 1: It says, on July third, we announced the commencement of
Speaker 1: a thorough review of the team's name. That review is
Speaker 1: begun in earnest. As part of this process, we want
Speaker 1: to keep our sponsors, fans, and community apprized of our
Speaker 1: thinking as we go forward, So sponsor, fans, community in
Speaker 1: that order. I appreciate the honesty there, if they were
Speaker 1: if they even knew they were being honest, here and
Speaker 1: then at the very bottom of the memo that was
Speaker 1: put out by the Washington Redskins, standing enhanced the standing
Speaker 1: of our proud, tradition, rich franchise and inspire our sponsors,
Speaker 1: fans and community for the next one hundred years. So
Speaker 1: we'll wait for that coming up here. I don't know
Speaker 1: what exactly is going to happen once we get it,
Speaker 1: but do we celebrate? Got this from the league office.
Speaker 1: The owners don't vote on this. The league works with
Speaker 1: the team on the legal and creative design processes, so
Speaker 1: the commissioners involved in this. The League office is involved
Speaker 1: in this, not the other owners, although it feels like
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones is probably involved in everything since he's the
Speaker 1: most powerful guy in the NFL. Here was another thing
Speaker 1: I saw. I don't know if this struck you the
Speaker 1: same way, but Patrick Mahomes making headlines, not with his contract,
Speaker 1: which I do think is going to be team friendly,
Speaker 1: and I don't know, you know, there'll be a renegotiation,
Speaker 1: I'm sure, but a couple of years down the road,
Speaker 1: we're probably going to look back on this contract and
Speaker 1: go and you know, and I'm saying this hoping Mahomes
Speaker 1: stays healthy. That this is going to be a team
Speaker 1: friendly contract with the Kansas City Chiefs. But the headline
Speaker 1: that I saw, or at least somebody was trying to
Speaker 1: make it a headline on the Mothership, Mahomes is, you know,
Speaker 1: trying he wants to go after Tom Brady's six Super
Speaker 1: Bowl rings. And I went, well, I'm gonna guess every
Speaker 1: quarterback does it, don't they. That'd be like if Lebron says, hey,
Speaker 1: I want to go after Michael's six titles, is that
Speaker 1: going to be a headline? Like do you think Lebron goes,
Speaker 1: you know what if I get to five undone, I'm good.
Speaker 1: If Mahomes said, you know, hey, if I get one more,
Speaker 1: I'm good, I don't know. Yeah, I saw this, I went, wait,
Speaker 1: what's what's the big story here? And it was like
Speaker 1: Mahomes says he wants to go after Brady's six Super
Speaker 1: Bowl rings. I'm like, wait, does he actually want Tom's
Speaker 1: Super Bowl rings? Or did he want rings of his own?
Speaker 1: Like I'm confused what the big story here is? But
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is going after you know, the breaking news.
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is going after Tom Brady's rings. Six athletes
Speaker 1: want to win as many championships before the career do.
Speaker 1: That's what surprised me. I went, wow, he wants to win.
Speaker 1: One of the headline was Mahomes satisfied at one looking
Speaker 1: forward to playing next season just to earn a check
Speaker 1: that a wild card game. I'm all set, Mahomes says, Hey,
Speaker 1: I got one. I'm here for the money now, just
Speaker 1: got a boat. Yeah, let me get some phone calls.
Speaker 1: Best and Worst of the Weekend is we always do
Speaker 1: every Monday. What you saw that you liked you didn't like.
Speaker 1: We say good morning to our radio partners, TV partners,
Speaker 1: chat row and we say a load of Kevin and
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Who leads this off best and worst of
Speaker 1: the weekend? keV Hey, DP Hey, keV hey man love
Speaker 1: the shirt. Got three best of the weekend, got my
Speaker 1: dad a trigger with iron six fifty and a pair
Speaker 1: of rakon So it was a DP birthday. Nice number two.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've heard it yet, but this
Speaker 1: goes with your shirt. James and Miller's origins Chapter six
Speaker 1: almost Famous turns twenty is incredible. You got to get
Speaker 1: him on and talk about that. And number three, which
Speaker 1: should have been your play of the day, Bruce Smith money.
Speaker 1: Thank you, keV. By the way, I'm wearing a led
Speaker 1: Zeppelin T shirt today and only because it's dark and
Speaker 1: it makes me look a little slimmer. That's it. I'll
Speaker 1: play that. We're gonna have to bleep out Bruce Smith
Speaker 1: the Hall of Famer. He was on Family Feud and
Speaker 1: he was there with Michael Irvin Chris Carter, and i'll
Speaker 1: play that coming up in a little bit, but I
Speaker 1: got to make sure that we have Marvin listen to
Speaker 1: that and bleep out a couple of things because it
Speaker 1: a surprising answer from Bruce Smith and an even more
Speaker 1: surprising response by Steve Harvey. So I'll have that for
Speaker 1: you coming up. Nick and Arizona. Hi, Nick, what's on
Speaker 1: your mind today? Welcome to the program. Hey DP six
Speaker 1: ft two d Hey boys, So you're chatting about red Skins.
Speaker 1: I had a name for you, wanted to get your thoughts.
Speaker 1: So their unofficial mascot is the pig. So what do
Speaker 1: you think about the Washington Hogs. Yeah, it's not a
Speaker 1: bad one and a lot of history there. And thanks
Speaker 1: for the phone call, Nick, Um, I think that's down
Speaker 1: on the list with Vegas with the odds. Yes, me
Speaker 1: clubbing now, Paul, he's trying to puns onto me. Yeah, easy,
Speaker 1: cheesy puns like pork barrel. You know what that phrase
Speaker 1: comes from the Hawks. Hawks is not the worst idea,
Speaker 1: because then you keep Here's what I really think. I
Speaker 1: think Daniel Snyder is not going to change much at all.
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna change just the bare minimum to
Speaker 1: get this past the goalie and keep all the other stuff,
Speaker 1: the look on everything else the same. Well, I think
Speaker 1: you want to keep something with the R. Yeah, the logo,
Speaker 1: you know, with the Redskins with the script R. Can
Speaker 1: they if that's no longer the team name? Well, if
Speaker 1: you're the Red Tails, yeah, yeah, like keep the R. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's interesting. Yeah, that's what I think is going to
Speaker 1: happen here. And I'm looking at some of the other
Speaker 1: nicknames and I don't see any of them that begin
Speaker 1: the Renegades is the only other one I think that
Speaker 1: has an R in it, the Roosevelts. But the Roosevelts
Speaker 1: aren't gonna make it. Snowflakes is a five hundred to one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Hoggs is too. It doesn't work Pcise either. I can't
Speaker 1: explain why, but oh, you're making fun of the lineman be's.
Speaker 1: They were overweighted. I don't know, like every name you
Speaker 1: can pick up. Yeah, but they called themselves the Hogs.
Speaker 1: I know. It's just like it's so hard to not
Speaker 1: make a part of name, right. Uh, Josh in Turkey,
Speaker 1: Hey Josh ab first time a long time in five eleven,
Speaker 1: one seventy five. What are you doing in Turkey? I
Speaker 1: who live here? Well, I know, but what do you
Speaker 1: do in What do you do in Turkey? Military? Oh? Okay, well, good,
Speaker 1: glad to have you. So regard college football this fall,
Speaker 1: if there is a season with conference only played, do
Speaker 1: you think small schools are allowing the big school income
Speaker 1: we forced to financially cancel some sports programs. Yep. And
Speaker 1: in consequent will this be a step towards the Power
Speaker 1: five secession? Yeah, I think we're gonna have that, and
Speaker 1: thank you, Josh. Be safe. But it does make sense.
Speaker 1: I've been saying all along the Power five conferences should
Speaker 1: just secede from the NCAA. I mean, they control college
Speaker 1: athletics now. I would hope they would still have out
Speaker 1: of conference games that they could play some of these
Speaker 1: smaller schools, because that's the revenue that will, you know,
Speaker 1: funnel into all of their sports and keep them afloat.
Speaker 1: But I think we're eventually going to see the Power
Speaker 1: five conferences be under their own that you'll have a
Speaker 1: commissioner of the Power five Conference schools. I think that's
Speaker 1: where we're heading West and Phoenix joining us. Hey, Wes,
Speaker 1: what's up? A Dan? Huge fan five eleven and a half,
Speaker 1: A semi solid for my age two ten, And I
Speaker 1: just want to know if you could wish my wife
Speaker 1: Tracy a happy fifty birthday. She's a huge fan. Her
Speaker 1: birthday's coming up on July twenty first. It would make
Speaker 1: her a year. No, I can't, I can't now. And
Speaker 1: what's her name? Tracy? And you said how old she's
Speaker 1: going to be. She's going to be turning fifty. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to say that, though she wouldn't mind.
Speaker 1: And hey, it's kind of cool. Brian Brian bamb Gardner.
Speaker 1: I actually got him to record a message as well
Speaker 1: for her. And wait, you called him before you called me? Yeah? Sorry, Dan,
Speaker 1: Well you have to put in a request and then
Speaker 1: you have to wait. Wow. But he actually, without me
Speaker 1: even asking, he made a part in the recording about
Speaker 1: how I should cook her a big thing at chili
Speaker 1: for her birthday, but make sure not to spill it.
Speaker 1: That's great, and I think Brian's going to be on
Speaker 1: the show the next couple of days. He's got some
Speaker 1: big announcement here. But us to your wife, Happy fiftieth
Speaker 1: and many many more, and you have a great husband.
Speaker 1: And Wes who called in to admit that he thought
Speaker 1: Brian bomba Gardner would be a more important message and
Speaker 1: that he gave your age out as well. So Wes,
Speaker 1: congratulations and good luck with your home life there. And hey,
Speaker 1: real quick, if you guys ever come of Phoenix, I
Speaker 1: got an idea. It would be a life size wheel
Speaker 1: of punishment. I've got it designed and everything. You strapped
Speaker 1: the Danet or maybe even the big German kid to it,
Speaker 1: you spin them. There would be a border around it,
Speaker 1: of course, and wherever their head is at when it
Speaker 1: stops or when they barf, there you go. Do you
Speaker 1: have a picture of it? I can send either Polly
Speaker 1: or Seaton a sketch of it. Yeah, but I would
Speaker 1: have plenty of time to build it before you guys
Speaker 1: actually get here. All right, Well, thank you, thank you
Speaker 1: West once again, Happy fiftieth Birthday West has been listening
Speaker 1: a long time. Jim in Texas joining us on the program. Hi, Jim,
Speaker 1: are you doing? Dan? Good sir? What's on your mind?
Speaker 1: Why don't they named the Redskins after what it's all about?
Speaker 1: The Benjamin? You're right, that is the bottom line. Thank you, Jim.
Speaker 1: Not a bad idea. I just love that they sent
Speaker 1: out this memo talking about this thorough process. And they
Speaker 1: start with sponsors twice. I know, they start sponsors and
Speaker 1: then fans and then community priorities, priorities. More phone calls
Speaker 1: coming up, people still telling me to stay in my
Speaker 1: lane on pizza here. How am I doing? Seaton's down
Speaker 1: a little bit? Oh good? Yeah, okay, all right, just
Speaker 1: check the rankings I got. I'm gonna guess two of
Speaker 1: the top pizza places in America or in New Haven,
Speaker 1: Peppi's and Sally's. Can people be objective? This where? Like?
Speaker 1: I don't think Chicago has the best pizza in America.
Speaker 1: I've loved someplace in Chicago. I think New Haven's better.
Speaker 1: But people get really defense like Fritzie with Brooklyn and
Speaker 1: other people where they come from. Can you be objective?
Speaker 1: Can people be objective? I don't think so you become
Speaker 1: territorial because you'll say, oh, you got to try this
Speaker 1: place by us, and I get it. But you know,
Speaker 1: this is an unscientific survey that we took at my house. Ye, right,
Speaker 1: Like I have a favorite pizza place, but I think
Speaker 1: it's probably more based on nostalgia and where I grew up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know than is it actually the best pizza in
Speaker 1: the world. Probably not, but I would have a slice
Speaker 1: of it right now. Yes, mclovin, you're you're grimacing over there. No,
Speaker 1: I it's funny. I feel so territorial at any knowledge.
Speaker 1: I've never gone to any of these places of Brooklyn.
Speaker 1: I'm googling them right now. Me Like, what about the Faras?
Speaker 1: I don't have no idea where. Just to make it
Speaker 1: sound like you know what you're talking about, hen, you're
Speaker 1: not kidding. New Haven dominates these national lists. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna guess two of the top seven or eight pizza
Speaker 1: places or in New Haven. Yeah, Sally's moderna as hard
Speaker 1: as it modern modern? What is MODERNA? That sounds fancy?
Speaker 1: That must be like a fifteen dollar slice MODERNA? Is
Speaker 1: it that a thing? A restaurant? Oh? La, moderna? Moderna
Speaker 1: is the big vaccine the company that's coming up with
Speaker 1: a vaccine for Corona. Yeah it's modern. Yeah, yeah, it's modern.
Speaker 1: It would be a lot more respected if it was modern. Well,
Speaker 1: it's true, but Mona is in the news on the time.
Speaker 1: How about we all go get a slice of moderna.
Speaker 1: But still that at let's take a break. We're gonna

Speaker 1: coming up, Best and worst of the weekend. Also the
Speaker 1: unfortunate slip up by Bruce Smith the Hall of Famer
Speaker 1: and that was on family Feud. We'll have that for
Speaker 1: you coming up. John Kyne covers the Washington Redskins for
Speaker 1: the Mothership kind enough to join us this morning. John,
Speaker 1: you have to come up with new business cards. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of things we're gonna have to come up
Speaker 1: with here. It's it's going to be very weird because
Speaker 1: you go for I've covered this team for a long time,
Speaker 1: and so people ask you what do you do. I
Speaker 1: covered the I write about the Washington Redskins. Now it's
Speaker 1: gonna be like, oh, what do you write about the
Speaker 1: Washington Who? Yeah, so's it's going to be very very
Speaker 1: different and takes some getting used to for a lot
Speaker 1: of people. Why now, Well, I think you can go
Speaker 1: back to the George Floyd death that while in police
Speaker 1: custody and go and start from there, because we've all
Speaker 1: known for a while that there was pressure on this
Speaker 1: team to change the name for a while and it
Speaker 1: wasn't really going anywhere. The pattern in the past was
Speaker 1: whether the storm get to the quiet part and just
Speaker 1: you know, survived the controversy. Well after that point, we
Speaker 1: all saw what is happening in society and the protests,
Speaker 1: the riots, statues coming down, you know, very you know flags,
Speaker 1: you know, the Confederate flag not being flowny more at
Speaker 1: NASCAR and all that. So I think that led to
Speaker 1: sponsor or two groups feeling like there was a window
Speaker 1: open of opportunity that had never existed before. And then
Speaker 1: they started going after sponsors. And once you start doing that, then,
Speaker 1: as you know, that's when you get things done. I
Speaker 1: think that's been the difference here. When it came out
Speaker 1: that ad we had done a story about the letter
Speaker 1: that investors and shareholders sent to PepsiCo Nike FedEx. When
Speaker 1: that came out, I talked to somebody who had worked
Speaker 1: for this place for a while knew the situation well,
Speaker 1: and his response was, holy crap, this is different. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it feels different. And by all accounts, the reports are
Speaker 1: that they're going to change the name this morning. What
Speaker 1: are the options that you've heard it? And I'll give
Speaker 1: you my logic of what I think it's going to be. Well,
Speaker 1: I think the one that kind of jumps out right
Speaker 1: away is Warriors, only because Dan Snyder used to when
Speaker 1: he first thought the Redskins. He also bought the rights
Speaker 1: to an Arena Football League franchise team if they came
Speaker 1: to Washington. He went then wanted to trademark the name Warriors,
Speaker 1: even had some logos designed. I think it was a
Speaker 1: spear on the helmet and all that. So if the
Speaker 1: name has changed quickly, that to me would be the
Speaker 1: leader in the clubhouse. Now as far as like, I
Speaker 1: know that there are some you know Ron Rivera said,
Speaker 1: and I think others there. I know that there's some
Speaker 1: other names that they might like. That's the only one
Speaker 1: that I think I know for sure would be an option.
Speaker 1: I think if you talk to fans, the name that
Speaker 1: they jumped on lately is red Wolves. And I have
Speaker 1: to get a little Twitter poll. Last a couple of
Speaker 1: days ago. I think it was like almost seventeen thousand
Speaker 1: votes and more than wanted red Wolves. So I think
Speaker 1: Redtails was a name that was discussed. I don't know
Speaker 1: that they go in that direction. One of the things
Speaker 1: I think that was important to them was initially wanted
Speaker 1: to maintain some connection to Native Americans, but also the military.
Speaker 1: And maybe that's why I keep leaning toward warriors. I
Speaker 1: don't know that for sure, but that's where I lean.
Speaker 1: I thought that something that started with an R. Therefore,
Speaker 1: you could keep the script R that the Redskins have
Speaker 1: and keep a little bit of that tradition, but Red
Speaker 1: Tails or Renegades or red Wolves would be where I
Speaker 1: would lean. What do you think of that logic? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think that's I think there's some definite logic
Speaker 1: there because one of the things that they also want
Speaker 1: to do is maintain some traditions. I was told that
Speaker 1: the Planers of now is to keep the burgundy and
Speaker 1: gold colors, big part of the tradition. Another part is
Speaker 1: the marching band. And then also they love the phrase.
Speaker 1: The fans love the phrase httr Hail to the Redskins.
Speaker 1: So if you can maintain some of that, and I
Speaker 1: think you can get that. So yeah, that's I can
Speaker 1: see that as well. I think Warriors again, I still
Speaker 1: need tore that, but I think your logic is correct,
Speaker 1: and then you could come up with the logo that
Speaker 1: has a script arm the helmet. And if you're a
Speaker 1: fan tuning in and you don't know the name has changed,
Speaker 1: maybe you can forget for a minute if there was
Speaker 1: that important to you that it still is still the
Speaker 1: same franchise you're rooting for. How does this go wrong?
Speaker 1: I've covered a team for a while. A lot of
Speaker 1: things you can always go wrong. I think the way
Speaker 1: it can go wrong is if you rush into a
Speaker 1: branding situation with the logo. I don't think you want
Speaker 1: to rush into that. And when I've talked to people
Speaker 1: about that, that process takes a long time. I think
Speaker 1: that's the important thing to get right here is what
Speaker 1: is that logo going to be? Like? Don't rush it.
Speaker 1: There has a feel of a fire aim ready to
Speaker 1: do this, in part because of the way this is
Speaker 1: all unfolded. This isn't something that going into the offseason,
Speaker 1: Dan Snyder had a plan on doing. It was kind
Speaker 1: of forced upon him for whatever reason because like we
Speaker 1: talked about earlier. So I think if you rush it,
Speaker 1: that's where you can get into trouble. This is a
Speaker 1: monumental thing, and you know like how sports fans are
Speaker 1: with these teams, and you also know that in fifteen
Speaker 1: twenty years, whatever you decide now is what people will
Speaker 1: identify with. So take your time and get it right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: My whole thought with this is it's always the bottom line.
Speaker 1: It's about money. Even the memo they sent out starts
Speaker 1: with thanking you know, sponsors, fans, community in that order, John.
Speaker 1: And then I think of this as Daniel Snyder can
Speaker 1: still say to his loyal fan base, I tried, but
Speaker 1: I couldn't. They wouldn't allow me to keep it. And
Speaker 1: you get this whole revenue stream of new merchandise here.
Speaker 1: So I think Daniel Snyder is going to do well
Speaker 1: with this. You go kicking and screaming sort of, but also, hey,
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, I got a whole new
Speaker 1: revenue stream that I never thought I was going to
Speaker 1: be getting. Yeah, And I think that's what people have
Speaker 1: long been trying to tell him, that those who wanted
Speaker 1: to change years ago, that you can benefit financially from
Speaker 1: this Now, obviously there's going to be a cost involved.
Speaker 1: You're going to have to change, changing all the signage,
Speaker 1: the merchandise, everything is going to be probably more than
Speaker 1: ten million dollars. So there's gonna be a cost. But
Speaker 1: you know, and you're gonna get fans Like I've heard
Speaker 1: from fans to say I won't look for this team again.
Speaker 1: I think it's a small percentage, but that group exists.
Speaker 1: I also wonder Dan too, who jumps on board with this,
Speaker 1: because there are a lot of people in this in
Speaker 1: the Washington area. The last few years, they haven't exactly
Speaker 1: been flocking to games here because the team. It's not
Speaker 1: about the name, it's about the team not being good.
Speaker 1: Maybe with the new name comes some new energy for
Speaker 1: some people who are maybe not on board with it before.
Speaker 1: So I think that that there is a potential you
Speaker 1: may have people who say, hey, because they change it now,
Speaker 1: I'm going to support them. I'll go out and buy
Speaker 1: the gear. And that's why I go back to the
Speaker 1: logo and the branding. If you get that right, you
Speaker 1: can really cash in in that regard. John, thanks for
Speaker 1: joining us. I know it's a busy time for you.
Speaker 1: We appreciate it. And hope you're well, my pleasure, thanks
Speaker 1: for having me out. That's John Cyme. He covers the
Speaker 1: Washington whoever for the Mothership? Still waiting word. I'd like
Speaker 1: red tails, something that has an R in it, and
Speaker 1: then I think you can still keep that script are.
Speaker 1: By the way, last time the Washington Redskins were in
Speaker 1: the conference title game, anybody want to wager a guess?
Speaker 1: Washington Redskins? And can you name the quarterback? The coach
Speaker 1: was Joe Gibbs, Yes, Paul. I don't know the year,
Speaker 1: but Jason Campbell's name came to mind. He was pretty good,
Speaker 1: but I don't think he got that far Mark rippin
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one. Only five franchises have failed to reach
Speaker 1: a conference title game going back to nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 1: The Bengals, the Browns, the Lions, Texans, and of course
Speaker 1: the Redskins are in there as well. That out of
Speaker 1: the day day, that pastat of the day, stat of
Speaker 1: the day comes that what stat of the day? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can have a new logo, you can have a
Speaker 1: new nickname, but if you're the same old Redskins, it's
Speaker 1: not gonna matter. I you know, it's like putting ear
Speaker 1: rings on a pig. You know you're still it's a
Speaker 1: pig with ear rings on. Yeah, it's not a not
Speaker 1: a good team, not a good franchise. It's not well run. Yes,
Speaker 1: I would be putting ear rings on a hog. I guess, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, I got that. The red wolf is a
Speaker 1: canine native to southeastern United States which has a reddish
Speaker 1: tawny color to its fur, kind of like a coyote
Speaker 1: and gray wolf come combo platter, very closely related to
Speaker 1: the Eastern wolf of eastern Canada. I like using the
Speaker 1: word indigenous. Is the red wolf in enous to Washington?
Speaker 1: I don't know what it means. I just like using
Speaker 1: that word indigenous, like there are a few words. What
Speaker 1: are some words that come to mind that you use
Speaker 1: and you're not quite sure, but it sounds really impressive
Speaker 1: when you do. Yeah, Paul, I'll throw in a juxtapose,
Speaker 1: a conundrum, conundrum. I'm not afraid to go conundrum on.
Speaker 1: I went conundrum last night. Indigenous when there's a situation,
Speaker 1: I'd like to use exacerbate. I'm not exactly sure what
Speaker 1: it means, but I think I know us it exponentially. Yes,
Speaker 1: VIC love it. I like cognitive dissidents and Pauli's and
Speaker 1: I am too, and ab judicate. I don't really know exactly,
Speaker 1: you know, like whatever, there's a sports loss story with
Speaker 1: judicate judicate? Does this mean to try in court? I
Speaker 1: guess I don't know. You got one? Seaton? No, No,
Speaker 1: but I think of Andrew every time I hear someone
Speaker 1: say it's a FATA company that was big in twenty twelve,
Speaker 1: Rand there was a Rutten Beata company. Yeah, Todd, I'm stumped.
Speaker 1: I wanted to have one. You know how much I
Speaker 1: have to be part of these little use little puzzle
Speaker 1: and one. Some of us don't have great vocabularies, are
Speaker 1: very limited in our words. Thanks Todd. Oh you were
Speaker 1: saying you see yeah, I say, I thought I thought
Speaker 1: you meant. Toddler's right there with me. Todd's biggest word
Speaker 1: of cinemax that is a SpectraVision. When we come back,
Speaker 1: speaking of going blue, Uh, family feud with Steve Harvey
Speaker 1: and then Bruce Smith. We're gonna play the feud. Did
Speaker 1: we find out how the Buffalo Bills got their nickname? Mcclevin,
Speaker 1: Is it because of Buffalo Bill? We have not found
Speaker 1: that out yet. Did you look, I did not you
Speaker 1: too busy looking up the genealogy of the red wolf
Speaker 1: red wolf red wolves. Right, we'll see if you can
Speaker 1: find that. I think it's it's it's because of the
Speaker 1: I started looking at up. That stopped. That kind of
Speaker 1: sums up our research department here we started with the try.
Speaker 1: I looked. It wasn't exactly a direct order, in fairness
Speaker 1: to you, Yes, didn't the Browns have a vote to
Speaker 1: Cleveland the name of Cleve. They had like a citywide
Speaker 1: vote and they chose Browns, but Paul Brown didn't want it,
Speaker 1: and then he went to Cincinnati. Anyway, isn't there a
Speaker 1: big backstory about that? I remember you telling us about that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I forgot Yeah. I think all these names are stupid Browns.
Speaker 1: That's a terrible nighbor. Yes, I'm looking at something that
Speaker 1: says the owner. After one year, had to name the
Speaker 1: team contest and hopes of choosing a more distinctive nickname.
Speaker 1: Bisons had been the traditional nickname for Buffalo teams for
Speaker 1: many years, but the winning choice was Bills, which was
Speaker 1: a play on the name of the famed Wild West
Speaker 1: showman Buffalo Bill Cody. Okay, by the way, did you
Speaker 1: see where the Toronto Blue Jays. Uh, yeah, that's right,
Speaker 1: there's still possibility of a baseball season. The Blue Jays can't.
Speaker 1: They need to find a place to play baseball that
Speaker 1: they're not allowed to play in Toronto their games, and
Speaker 1: they're looking at Buffalo, which is their minor league affiliate.
Speaker 1: And I guess they just started looking into this because
Speaker 1: I think the Canadian government is not letting the Toronto
Speaker 1: Blue Jays play games, have teams come into Canada, So
Speaker 1: they're looking to play in Buffalo. Yeah, we got this
Speaker 1: all figured out. What could go wrong? Yes, tod because
Speaker 1: nobody circles the wagons like the Toronto Blue Thank you
Speaker 1: Chris Burman. I was watching what was it last Sunday
Speaker 1: where Chris Burman came on and I saw, you know
Speaker 1: on my direct TV where it said eight o'clock the
Speaker 1: Eagles at the Forum and I'm going, okay, ESPN and
Speaker 1: what are the Eagles doing at the Forum? And then
Speaker 1: I realized it's the band the Eagles at the Forum.
Speaker 1: And Chris Burman comes on and gives it an introduction.
Speaker 1: He goes, it's not the Eagles, Chuck Bednarik, and I went, so,
Speaker 1: Chris is at his home somewhere and he's introducing the
Speaker 1: Eagles with a concert that had already happened at the Forum.
Speaker 1: And I think it was three hours long, this concert
Speaker 1: on ESPN. That was. That was Sunday night programming for
Speaker 1: the Mothership. Tell You Where you Can't leave? Wait where?
Speaker 1: And he was doing you know, Chris is doing all
Speaker 1: of his Eagles puns and play on words and uh,
Speaker 1: and then showing when Glenn Fry was on the schwam
Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl, what's this song? Where? Um? Uh?
Speaker 1: What he'd been in a pickup truck, turned around to
Speaker 1: take a look at me? Take it easy? Uh? And
Speaker 1: what's that place in Arizona standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And so he did one with so Chris replayed that
Speaker 1: from I don't know how long ago that was. He
Speaker 1: shows up and Chris does that wide eyed surprise like
Speaker 1: it's Glenn far I'm going of Chris, I'm sure that
Speaker 1: he just didn't show up in surprise. It's Glenn frouds

Speaker 1: name do you like for the new Washington team? The
Speaker 1: Red tails is first and the General somehow is still
Speaker 1: maintaining second spot. I just can't imagine in this politically
Speaker 1: correct world trying to get the general's past here. I
Speaker 1: just don't see that happening. And you you had the generals,
Speaker 1: you know that played against the Harlem Globe Trotters. Didn't
Speaker 1: you have the generals from the USFL? Well, those were
Speaker 1: the New Jersey generals with Doug Flutie. Okay, what was
Speaker 1: Washington's name with Craig James Washington Federals? Yeah, oh, I
Speaker 1: think I think so, but Washington generals? That that one
Speaker 1: feels like you're going to get some pushback on that.
Speaker 1: Can we do an hour on USFL names? Cool? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we would probably do pretty well with USFL names and
Speaker 1: players who played in the USFL. All right, uh saw this,
Speaker 1: and I was really surprised at Bruce Smith the Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer. He was on Family Feud and this was
Speaker 1: the Celebrity Family Feud, the Sunday episode and he's up there,
Speaker 1: Chris Carter, my Coel Urvan and they're going against rising
Speaker 1: stars in the NFL. And you had the following question
Speaker 1: asked by Steve Harvey to Bruce Smith, if Captain Hook
Speaker 1: was moonlighting as a handyman, he might replace his hook
Speaker 1: with what tool? A hammer? Try again? A penis? Tell
Speaker 1: me the age a kid is too old to sleep
Speaker 1: with a tech? What he said? Come on, we can't
Speaker 1: start this year. We can't for more. Now, we can't
Speaker 1: go on sid I'm sorry, you can't go on here.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Let go, let go, let go. We came sort.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I swear, I swear, I'm sorry that that
Speaker 1: just came out. I don't even know where that came from.
Speaker 1: I was reading the question and then I said, what if?
Speaker 1: I don't know what's more surprised? I guess Bruce Smith, like,
Speaker 1: what could you possibly be thinking? A handyman and you're
Speaker 1: going to replace his hook? I gotta believe there's a
Speaker 1: few other tools that you could have mentioned other than
Speaker 1: your personal tool. Why did he say that? I don't
Speaker 1: I don't understand why why did he say that? Like
Speaker 1: what was going through his mind? Where you're going through
Speaker 1: kind of the rolodecks of tools that you could have
Speaker 1: captain hook us and he went with the penis. I
Speaker 1: guess I know exactly what was going through his mind.
Speaker 1: And then Steve Harvey it's like three or four seconds
Speaker 1: on delay and he's like, wait, why what the bleep
Speaker 1: did you say? Yeah, when you're in the garaderate, don't
Speaker 1: with Bruce Smith, don't ask what is this? Bruce, I'm
Speaker 1: working on my car wrench. Whoa yeah, not that hammer.
Speaker 1: Not that hammer, Bruce Gee, whiz hammer time remember big Shank.
Speaker 1: They had him on because speaking of hammers, you're like,
Speaker 1: it's so, what's your nickname? Who? What was it? Vincente
Speaker 1: Shianco tight End the tight End Vikings. Yeah, and he
Speaker 1: was They showed him like like one of those postgame things,
Speaker 1: the video there they had in the locker room and
Speaker 1: he's standing there and he's clearly naked um and very
Speaker 1: visible and uh that you we had him on like
Speaker 1: the next day and you're like, so, what's your nickname?
Speaker 1: And it was Big Shank. I'm no kidding. I think
Speaker 1: you asked him how to always been your nickname? Or
Speaker 1: just recently VINCENTE Shanko, Yeah, something like that. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think I I what I thought. I gave him another
Speaker 1: nickname like the uh, the utility belt or something. I
Speaker 1: forget what I said to him as a nickname, and
Speaker 1: then he said Big Shanks. Steve Harvey's reaction though so funny.
Speaker 1: His face, he always make that face, and damn is
Speaker 1: it funny. Oh that's good. All right, We'll give you
