1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. It's Todd and I and we've had so

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: much to talk about this morning. We've been laughing, we've

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: been giggling, like the weekends already started and they were

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: for three hours to do here. All right, welcome to

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: the program. Get ready for a strange weekend. By the way,

7
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: when Coastal Carolina BYU is more relevant than Alabama and LSU,

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's going to be a strange weekend. But

9
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: I give Coastal Carolina and BYU a lot of credit

10
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: because they know that they need some help just to

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,279
Speaker 1: get the attention of the playoffs selection committee. It's not

12
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: going to help them get into the top four, but

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: they are trying, and that is all you can do

14
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: in a situation like this. They want to get another

15
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: big win, you know, one of those wins that gets

16
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: the attention of somebody here. But the fact that two

17
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: undefeated teams are going to be playing in Conway, South

18
00:00:55,200 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: Carolina this weekend and it has national implications, it's pretty

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: impressive there, all right. Eight seven seven three d P

20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: Show Email address DP at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter

21
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: handle at DP show. Nick Saban is back for the

22
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: LSU game. LSU is almost a thirty point underdog in

23
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: this game. The NFL has reinstated Josh Gordon. It feels

24
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: like around every six or seven months, Josh Gordon gets

25
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: reinstated and the Seahawks are going to try this one

26
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: more time. I mentioned by U at Coastal Carolina, Ohio State,

27
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: Michigan State is still on A and M and Auburn,

28
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: Clemson and Virginia Tech. We'll have a poll question. We

29
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: got a play of the day, we got a stat

30
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: of the day. By the way, the final voting for

31
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: the Next Great Podcast has begun. We received nearly two

32
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: thousand entries. We've narrowed it down to ten finalists. The

33
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: ten finalists have just completed their pilot episode. So you

34
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: have a chance to listen to this. You can go

35
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: to Next Great Podcast dot com. Listen to these pilot episodes.

36
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: Vote for your favorite, and I'm going to go into

37
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: business as the executive producer of the one that you

38
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: do pick out. Move over Ohio State, Michigan, step down,

39
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: Auburn in Alabama, take a seat, Texas, Oklahoma. The rivalry,

40
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: the new rivalry, the big rivalry in college football is

41
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: BYU and Coastal Carolina. One team's in Utah, the other

42
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: one is tucked away in Conway, South Carolina. You throw

43
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: out the records when these two get together, the Cougars

44
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: and the Chantecleers. All right, they've actually never played each other,

45
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: but they have taken on the challenge and they're going

46
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: to play each other. The game was announced yesterday. I

47
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: don't know if it has any national implications, but both

48
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: teams undefeated, they're both ranked. College Football Playoff Committee hasn't

49
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: given BYU much love. They're down to thirteen. Hard to

50
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: imagine that even with the win, they would get anywhere

51
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: near the final four. Coastal Carolina number eighteen. You know,

52
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: there's presstige here for them as fans. We get more football,

53
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: which is good and a welcome addition to the sport weekend. Mcclovin,

54
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: what kind of pull question do you have for me today? Okay,

55
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: we're looking at the odds this morning and we're wondering

56
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: what is the most likely upset in week thirteen? Starting

57
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: with actually Monday night, Steelers minus seven and a half

58
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: hosting the Washington football team. Also one throughout Saints minus

59
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,119
Speaker 1: three at Atlanta. No, that's Dams. No, nut's it. Oh okay, yeah,

60
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: that's your pick. Yeah, yeah, I think it's down to

61
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: two and a half. And I said at the time,

62
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: when I knew they were going to be facing each

63
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: other two times in the next three weeks or four weeks,

64
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: that I wouldn't be surprised if Atlanta won one of

65
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: these games. You have Taysom Hill at quarterback, and now

66
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: we're going to find out just what kind of quarterback

67
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: he is. You know, is Atlanta able to make him

68
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: a passing quarterback not a running quarterback? You have the

69
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: Rams at Arizona. You know that's a three point spread.

70
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: The cold said Houston. By the way, I stumbled across

71
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: some unbelievable numbers with a couple of quarterbacks. If I okay,

72
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: here's one for you. Give me the NFL quarterback who

73
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: has fifteen touchdown passes and zero interceptions in his last

74
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: six games. Yeah, mcclub, well, I know who the hottest

75
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL is. And I'm imagine that's who

76
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: you're talking about. Who is that, Deshaun Watson. Yes, it

77
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: is ding Ding Ding ding Ding. Well. You know why

78
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: because you said right after the Houston yea hint there.

79
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: He has thrown two hundred and ten consecutive passes without

80
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: an interception. That's longest, the longest streak in the NFL

81
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: this season. Let me see if I have another one

82
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: for you now that one's the big surprise. The other

83
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: one have to the other ones have to do with

84
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers. But Deshaun Watson is on

85
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: a terror right now, and could they somehow pick up

86
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: a win surprise the Colts with a game at Houston.

87
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: By the way, we'll check in with Sean Salisbury, our

88
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: buddy who does radio in Houston. I'll talk to him

89
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: about the whole Russell Westbrook, James Harden, John Wall come

90
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: into town. And you know this Houston team that's playing

91
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: quite well. What else do you have in clubbing? Okay,

92
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: we got a listener email off yesterday's Dan Orlovsky thing

93
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: which kind of caught fire about Travis Kelsey being the

94
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: best non quarterback in the NFL. He asked, if you

95
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: could have a start with one of the skill positions

96
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: out there in quarterback, would it be great running back,

97
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: great wide receiver, or great tight end. I think in

98
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: today's NFL I would take tight end, because we've seen

99
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: those tight ends become impactful, and if you do get one,

100
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: then you know you're so much more ahead of everybody

101
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: else when you have somebody at that position who's a weapon.

102
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: I think I can find running backs and I can

103
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: find wide receivers. Tight ends a little bit trickier. Is

104
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: there anybody who's on the same level, close to the

105
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: same level as Kelsey and Kittle? Can you think of

106
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: anybody else mclovin that you like? Chase Clayton is not

107
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 1: really a tight end? Is he no? Darren Waller who's

108
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: actually start to fall a little bit, but he's not.

109
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: Those guys are so dominant. But Kittles a little hurt,

110
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: he's coming back. I think, but what about could you

111
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: make an argument like a Derrick Henry if you get

112
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: a guy who so much above everybody else, It depends

113
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: on what your style is, you know. I give the

114
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: Titans credit that they went all in on this style

115
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: and they're saying that we're a run first team, a

116
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: run second team, and then if we have to pass,

117
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: then Ryan Tannehill can still use play action because the

118
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: defense is respect Derrick Henry so much. But I can

119
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,239
Speaker 1: find look at all the leaders and receptions in rushing

120
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: this year. They're not first round draft picks. Wide receivers

121
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: and running backs are not first round draft picks. So

122
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: it feels like I can find those players. I just

123
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: don't know if you can find those tight ends that

124
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: make a difference. And George Kittle and Travis Kelsey certainly

125
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: make a difference. So if you said I could have

126
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: any of those those other players wide receivers or running

127
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: backs or tight ends, I'd take Kelsey and Kittle over

128
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: all of them right now. What else? Mclen Okay, this

129
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: one was the pre show debate on this side of

130
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: the glass. Well, no, we're not on the glasses. You

131
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: can only watch one game, and PAULI said that he's

132
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: very interested in Cleveland at Tennessee. OK. My take is

133
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: that that sounds good on paper, but when we look

134
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: at all the games laid out, I'm not sure that's

135
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: the one you watch. Uh. There's some other good games,

136
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: but that's the one that we were arguing about. These Uh,

137
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: there's Indy, Houston, as you mentioned, New Orleans, Atlanta, Cleveland, Tennessee.

138
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: So we'll see, but I'm not I can't watch the Titans.

139
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: Is there something wrong with me, Well, you don't like

140
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: old school football, No, I don't. I want to see passing.

141
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: I'd like to see it when when when Derrick Henry

142
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: is running the way you did in the playoffs last year,

143
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: it brings back memories of when running backs were the

144
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: most important people in football, and just that's style. You

145
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: want to talk about taking somebody's manhood away from them.

146
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: You run the football and then you have guys who

147
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: don't want to tackle the running back, and it just

148
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: brings back memories Jim Brown to Earl Campbell, where you

149
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: just had these guys who you had to make a

150
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: business decision when they came through the hole. And plus,

151
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: what I love about it is it's kind of counterintuitive

152
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: to what everybody else is doing. And I feel like

153
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: there's a place for that in football. If everybody's wide open,

154
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: everybody's playing you know, offensive blinded football. And here's Tennessee

155
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: saying we're gonna drain the clock, We're we're gonna have

156
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: sustained drives, we're gonna run the football and therefore put

157
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: pressure on you when you get on the field. I

158
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: like that. And then if you have a good defense,

159
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: an opportunistic defense, have a good you know, special teams.

160
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: You know, that's where you have, you know, a team

161
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: that is marked for success in the playoffs. And we

162
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: saw that with Tennessee last year. But I like seeing it,

163
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: But I only like seeing it in the fourth quarter,

164
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. Now, when you watch it and

165
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: you go, okay, there's three yards, all right, there's seven yards,

166
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: there's play action, there's four yards. Okay. It's a little dry,

167
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: but that's the way football used to be. And to

168
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: see it now and have it be successful or at

169
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: least it's different than I like that. I don't want

170
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: to see everybody throw for four hundred yards. I'd like

171
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: to see it a little bit more level playing field.

172
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: I'd like the defenses to at least have an opportunity

173
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: to It feels like we've done everything we can possibly

174
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: do to take away whatever advantage a defensive player has.

175
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: Like I don't even know what is an advantage for

176
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: a defensive player right now. I don't know if we've

177
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: given them one in the last ten years. Because we're

178
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: so intent on having numbers, having excitement, having fantasy football,

179
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: the gambling aspect of this. Everybody's adding offense here. But

180
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: I like what Tennessee does, but I like it in

181
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and that's where you know, I'm watching

182
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: the Ravens and you're watching Derrick Henry and in the overtime,

183
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: and I went, this is fun to watch because that

184
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 1: guy right there, everybody had the baddest guy on the

185
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: playground right or in the backyard, there was the guy.

186
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: You went, oh, I don't want to tackle him. That's

187
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. These are grown men, and it feels like

188
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: they're not all in. Like, nobody's blowing up Derrick Henry.

189
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: You know, when you think about it, even they try to,

190
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: but they're not blowing up Derrick Henry. Yeah, seton. It's

191
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: kind of interesting though, that it took him a couple

192
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 1: of years to really hit his stride, no pun intended.

193
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: Is that more on Derrick Henry or the Titans figuring

194
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: out how to use them the right way? I always

195
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: wondered that because it felt like he was the biggest

196
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: guy on the field at times and he ran hard.

197
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: But then even at Alabama, he wasn't their primary starter

198
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: the old time he was there. I think he got

199
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: into the NFL and maybe it was one of those Hey,

200
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: I'm kind of finding out who I am, and then

201
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: you know, Mike Rabels finding out who he is as

202
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: well as a running back, and then they realized what

203
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: they had. They strengthened their offensive line, and you know,

204
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota didn't work out, Tannehill came in and it

205
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: just sort of fell into place. But I don't know

206
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: if that was scripted, you know, because you look back

207
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: to Trent Richardson at Alabama and we're thinking, Wow, that

208
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 1: guy can't miss in the NFL, and then he did miss.

209
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: I think Alabama running backs, Alabama defensive backs, we're not

210
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: quite sure how good they are when they get to

211
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: the NFL. And I think a team's going to have

212
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: that decision with Patrick certain who his dad played in

213
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: the NFL. I think he's going to be a top

214
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: ten pick. He's a defensive back with Alabama, and I

215
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: think that you know, you're thinking about running backs and

216
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: you're not quite sure certainly coming out of that program there,

230

Speaker 1: What else mclovin, I think Paul as a pull question?

231
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Dan, I just want to do a quick debunking.

232
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: I'm mclove and mclovin likes to think that the Titans

233
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: don't score points and the Browns are a running team.

234
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: Guess which team gotch matchup this weekend has the highest

235
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: over under, which means the expects us to have the

236
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: most points scored. The Browns Texans over unders fifty four points.

237
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 1: That's the most in the NFL this weekend. So they

238
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: do score, and the way they score is not fifty passes,

239
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: but they do score. The bunk. Okay, now you're saying

240
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: the Colts and Texans? Is a Brown Titans Titans over

241
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 1: under is fifty four? Okay, that's Saints Falcons. Would you

242
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: think those are offensive teams? The over unders forty five shot?

243
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: I was shocked. Well, I wonder if Drew Brees was healthy,

244
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: what the over under would be with the Saints. I

245
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: have another question for you, didn't. Do you think the

246
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: Saints would like to have a game where they're down

247
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: fourteen and a half to see what Taysom Hill could

248
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: do just passing before they get to January? How about

249
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: down they would like to how about down ten? Okay,

250
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: down ten? I guess my point is if they are

251
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: they confident that if Drew Brees was not present, that

252
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: they could pass their way to a victory with Taysom

253
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: Hill in the second half of a playoff game, I

254
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: don't know, because and I would say no, But then

255
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if Baltimore is confident with Lamar Jackson

256
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: if they were down fourteen, and that's the reigning MVP.

257
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: So it's not a slight on Taysom Hill. I think

258
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: it's a quarterback who plays that style. But and we

259
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: don't even know if Lamar Jackson's playing, do we mclovin.

260
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Ravens have cleared Himent. Harbough

261
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 1: wouldn't comment one way or other. I mean, as an

262
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton fan, I kind of hope he doesn't on

263
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: Monday night or Tuesday night because the Cowboys could sneak

264
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: out a win. But by the way, did you see

265
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: your raven schedule? That's they could make a run if

266
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: they get healthy. But will they be healthy enough? Yeah?

267
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: Do you have that schedule? Because it feels like they're

268
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: going to be a ten win team. Is that enough

269
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: to get in? Probably? I mean, are you talking with

270
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: the seven team or eighteen? I'm going seventeen because if

271
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: we were going to eighteen, we probably would have done

272
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: it this past week. But if I'm looking at just

273
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: the wildcard round projections right now, let's say that these

274
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: the Steelers have that the number one seed and we'll

275
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: give it to the Saints. In the NFC, that would

276
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: mean Chiefs would be hosting the Dolphins, Colts would be

277
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: hosting the Titans, and the Bills would be hosting the Browns.

278
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: In the NFC, Seahawks would be let's say the number

279
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: two seed, they would host Arizona the Buccaneers would be

280
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: at Green Bay in a rematch, and the Rams would

281
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: be at the Giants, assuming the Giants would win the

282
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: NFC East. So that's you know, Baltimore only if you

283
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: go to a sixteen team playoff, would then make the playoffs.

284
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: You'd also have Chicago right now, would probably be the

285
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: team that would make it. If there were sixteen teams

286
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: eight in the NFC and AFC, believe it or not,

287
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears would probably be that team that would

288
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: make it into the playoffs. What else MC loved, Well,

289
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: here's the schedule. Dallas, Cleveland and we didn't really know

290
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: who Cleveland is. Then Jacksonville Giants and Bengals to end

291
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: the season. I don't know. The Giants might be a

292
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: little tricky, but the Bengals and Jags, it's pretty good.

293
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: How many of those games are at home? I don't

294
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: have that here, Okay, all right, so run that down again.

295
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: Dallas on Tuesday? Is that at Dallas? Oh efforting? Okay,

296
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: let's see um. Then they have Cleveland Jacksonville Giants, and

297
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: since now they blew out Cleveland earlier in the year,

298
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: it's in Baltimore Dallas this weekend. By the way. Okay,

299
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: So it's in Dallas. No, it's in Baltimore. In Baltimore,

300
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: all right, So even with Robert Griffin, they're gonna be

301
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: probably be favored in that case, Robert Griffin gonna be

302
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: able to play. That's a great question. Or what's the

303
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: who's that? A backup that we love Trace McSorley. Yeah, yeah,

304
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: you can't stop Trace McSorley. You can only have to

305
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: containing one of my favorite bars in New York City, mcsorley's.

306
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: It might be the oldest. Is it the oldest bar

307
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: in New York? And is it the oldest bar in America? Yeah? Dan,

308
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: I think it's the only bar that's been continuous. There's

309
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 1: bars that opened earlier, but I think they've been continuous.

310
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: I had to be. I was asked to leave there

311
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: once I got so hammered one of the bartenders or

312
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: the guy serving the drinks. You know, they wear the

313
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: white shirts and the ties, and they had the little things,

314
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: and we were all drinking really hard, and he put

315
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: his arm on me, goes, son, you're done, And he

316
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: turned up and walked me out the door. But do

317
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: they have drinks at mcsorley's, Because I only remember they'd

318
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: have these small they weren't even pints. They were like, yeah,

319
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: they look like A and W rupier mugs and they

320
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: hold probably about nine ounces and they just bring them

321
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: in waves at the table and then you get cheese

322
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: and onions and crackers. I think, yeah, and they have

323
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: like pretzels and stuff like, oh they do okay, it's

324
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: a beer bar. I went with my wife when she

325
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: was my girlfriend and she used to go there. She

326
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: went to school in New York at NYU, and she said, oh,

327
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: we got to go to this pub. And we go

328
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: into mcsorley's and there is there's no bathroom for women.

329
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: They just had they had a bathroom, and I don't

330
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: know if they didn't used to let women in, but

331
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 1: it was a universal bathroom, which I had not seen

332
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: growing up in a small town in Ohio. And she

333
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: had no problem with it. She was like, all right, whatever,

334
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: and we had a grand old time that mcsorley's like

335
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: an afternoon beer buzz. It was good, yeah, pay yeah.

336
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: But it is funny though, because it is a sloppy

337
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: drinking beer bar. It's not like a high end Yeah,

338
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: how do you get thrown out of a sloppy drinking

339
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: beer bar. I was a sloppy But what is funny

340
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: is there is when like tourists come in from all

341
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: of our America and they have like their kids with

342
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 1: him and they We're gonna see a New York attraction.

343
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: It is not for kids. It's barely for anybody. All Right.

344
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: Sean Salisbury will join us coming up. We'll talk to

345
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: him about what's going on in Houston. Certainly with the

346
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: play of DeShawn Watson, what's the big difference here? And

347
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: also with Russell Westbrook Junior the third wanting the fact

348
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: that James Harden goes I want it now. This is

349
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 1: reportedly I'd rather play with John wall So I'm we're

350
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 1: the play with a guy coming off and Achilles Surgery

351
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: who hasn't played in two years, who loves to handle

352
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: the ball as opposed to Russell Westbrook, who is your buddy.

353
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: And you said you wanted to get rid of Chris

354
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: Paul and you wanted to bring in Russell Westbrook and

355
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 1: that lasted a year. So we'll talk to Sean about that.

356
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: Scott Hansen, how many episodes for the NFL Red Zone?

358
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: nothing I did two thousand sports centers, Todd. If you're

359
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: making them aware of that, they get too excited and

360
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 1: celebrate too much about what they're complished. Scott does a

361
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: great job. NFL Networks Red Zone and then Nick Wright

366
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,719

00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: Show on Sports Talk seven Houston. Somebody's somebody's got to

368
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: win the NFC East, right, Dad, You're giving those dubbers

369
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: out like it's a team by quarterback Sean Salisbury's four

370
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: eleven and one team makes the playoffs. It is, you know,

371
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: at every one of them's got something to like, but

372
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: a lot of them got something to hate and a

373
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 1: whole lot to dislike. I and I know, uh mclovin

374
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: is loving it the fact that his team could very well,

375
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: like you said, host a playoff game. But I my

376
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,719
Speaker 1: gut tells me just a hunch that they'll be an

377
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: early out. Okay, just a hunch, I know, but it's

378
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: always weird like that Sean where we go that team

379
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: somebody who's gonna have ten wins and be on the

380
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: road in the playoffs to face the Eagles or the

381
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: Giants or Washington, Dallas, whoever it might be. And strange

382
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 1: things happen when you get to the playoffs because that

383
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: team that struggled just to make it to the playoffs,

384
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: as opposed to that team that goes, okay, we're going

385
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 1: to be a wild card team, and you know those

386
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: those teams are dangerous. It's like Seattle many years ago

387
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: when New Orleans had to go to Seattle and Seattle

388
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: one with a seven and nine record. That's exactly right.

389
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: Well now, I remember there was talk all over the country,

390
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: how in the world do we resede? We got to

391
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: start to change this. We can't have the Seattle Seahawks

392
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: host the game. But and Dan, it is because you

393
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: get to the point, it's like that injury or when

394
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: we saw that, you know, the Jordan situation when he

395
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: was not feeling well. You kind of take pressure off

396
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: yourself because nobody expects you to win. Think about a

397
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: Philadelphia or the Giants are hosting a playoff game, everybody

398
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: in the world's gonna say, Vegas, they're gonna put the

399
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,479
Speaker 1: line out there. So as a player, you kind of

400
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: take pressure off, you let it rip, you cut it loose,

401
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 1: because everything's a bonus. And then they do become dangerous,

402
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: and they've been under that struggle all year, so they

403
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: know what adversity looks like, and then they have a

404
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: chance to overcome it. And you never let a team

405
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: hang around, and teams like that that hang around late

406
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: in the third quarter, in the fourth quarter, then all

407
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the favorite starts to look around, say

408
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: maybe we're not that good, and you end up losing,

409
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: and it does happen, and you're right. That seven to

410
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: nine Seattle team took care of their business at home

411
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: against New Orders. And also the difference though this year

412
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: is there really is no home field advantage, so that'll

413
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: be beneficial for the team traveling. Why is the national

414
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: media fascinated with Carson Wentz? Good guy? Um not a

415
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: self promoter? I was I was thinking about this the

416
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: other day. Dan, if any other quarterback or most should

417
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: I say, they'd be he well, he wouldn't be playing

418
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: most of the time. Now. The fact that they have

419
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 1: a backup, who's a rookie who we know as a winner.

420
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 1: But you paid him a lot and Carson doesn't really

421
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: bother anybody, then what's not to like? He came in

422
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: as the underdog. Remember, even though he's a high draft pick,

423
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: comes out of North Dakota State, so he's kind of like, oh,

424
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: small school guys, so you kind of root for that.

425
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:57,479
Speaker 1: But why, you know, well, why would the you know,

426
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: you got the Redskins or the Washington football him. Now

427
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: you take Robert Griffin and Deshannah. You know Mike liked

428
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins as well. Ain't nothing wrong with that. We

429
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: draft two lineman, why the hell can't we draft two quarterbacks?

430
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: So to me, it's a right Dan. I'll tell you why,

431
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: because that ought to tell you how they feel about him.

432
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: They didn't draft him to move him to slot or

433
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver or running back. Jalen Hurts is a quarterback,

434
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: and I think he proved by going to Lincoln Riley

435
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: that all we know he's a winner. It's Alabama under

436
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: the Sabing umbrella. Well, he goes to Lincoln Riley and boom,

437
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,479
Speaker 1: he proves that he can still win and still throw it.

438
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: I actually love the draft pick because it's either going

439
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: to bring out the best in Carson Wentz or unfortunately,

440
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: whether it's Jalen Hurts or not bringing out the worst.

441
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 1: I didn't think Carson's a good guy people root for,

442
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: but he's playing missing easy throws. The mechanics are horrendous,

443
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: and it seems to me like he's always a split

444
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: second late. And when you're pulling when you're not pulling

445
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: the trigger on open throws, then that's a problem. I

446
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: will not be shocked if this continues, that if Jalen

447
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: Hurts doesn't get legitimate run. And I'm for Carson Wentz

448
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: like everybody else does, but he's not above criticism. He

449
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: is not playing good football. Would you rather a Baker

450
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: Mayfield or Carson Wentz right now? Right now, the way

451
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: it play, it's not even close. You'd rather have Baker Mayfield. Now,

452
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: if you told me Sean Carson Wentz is going to

453
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: get that swagger or that feelback that he had when

454
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: he got hurt when they went to the Super Bowl,

455
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna get that Carson Wentz, well, then I'm

456
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: taking that Carson Wentz. But Dan, sometimes you hit the yips,

457
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: like you know, whether it's putting or whether it's throwing

458
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: the football or me when you have the yips in

459
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: an entire ten year career that you just try to

460
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,959
Speaker 1: fight through it, right is it's hard to overcome. And

461
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: he's in a very difficult, intelligent, passionate football town, and

462
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: when that stuff starts to creep in, it's tough to

463
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: get it out. Regardless of what he says, he's not

464
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 1: bothered by the trade talk. No human being can't be bothered.

465
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: So I personally today I want Baker Mayfield because he's

466
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: got a winning team. He's starting to feel it. If

467
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: you told me I was going to get the old

468
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, well, I'm taking the old Carson Wentz right now.

469
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: It's an O. I'm not sure I'm not taking Jalen

470
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: Hurts over Carson Wentz the way he's playing right now.

471
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: Sean Salisbury Morning host of The Sean Salisbury Show and

472
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven ninety in Houston, course former NFL quarterback,

473
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 1: What is the difference with Deshaun Watson in the last

474
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: six games? A big part of the question going in

475
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: for me, Dan, and I think a lot of people wondered,

476
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: what will Deshaun Watson do when he loses the crutch

477
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 1: to lean on in DeAndre Hopkins. Well, we've seen it.

478
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: Their passing offense has not suffered. A matter of fact,

479
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: he's gotten better. I always had a problem with him.

480
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: Enormous talent, great player, the hero syndrome that he wasn't

481
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 1: willing not to make every play and the best quarterbacks

482
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: I've ever been around, no win thrown it out of

483
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: the back of the end zone. Win, not to take

484
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 1: a sack. Now, I don't want to teach the hero

485
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: part out of him, but the last two weeks I've

486
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: watched him one time in two weeks going the red zone,

487
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: scrambles out, not there, throws it out of the back

488
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: of the end zone. The Watson I saw in the

489
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: pass would have tried to make some spectacular play. And

490
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: he's used to two or three clunkers a year where

491
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: it's like, what are you thinking? He hasn't had one

492
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: of those this year. The distribution of the football. I

493
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: think he's confident with Tim Kelly, and this is not

494
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: a team when they're not playing well. If their situation

495
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: was resversed and they were seven and four, he'd be

496
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: in the MVP talk. He's having a marvelous year, and

497
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 1: it's his ability to know when to throw it away.

498
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: He's making the simple play, the big home run, Dan,

499
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: the the you know, the grand slams always here. He's

500
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: learning better how to hit singles, the flats open, get

501
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: it out now, don't pass up an open receiver to

502
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 1: a hope that you got a home run. And in

503
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 1: the process of his unbelievable ability, the home run's coming.

504
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,239
Speaker 1: So and they pushed the ball down the field and

505
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 1: he's taken calculated, smart chances and he's maturing good. Gracious,

506
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: he's had another coordinator, so he's starting to settle into

507
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: the position on a team that isn't real good, and

508
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 1: they're allowing him to set his feet because even though

509
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: they don't run it well, the offensive line does pass

510
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: protect well. He is. He's going to be an MVP

511
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: guy for a long time, and he makes people around

512
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 1: him better. And he's also making himself better by knowing

513
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: when to throw the ball away and that you can't

514
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: make every play. I wonder and I've always felt that

515
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: he held onto the ball too long and you know

516
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: this question. Yeah, And the smart ones, you know, they

517
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: get the ball away to live to see another day.

518
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: But I'm also curious has Eric B. Enemy, Like it

519
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: felt like Romeo Cornell might get this job somehow, because

520
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 1: you know, during this pandemic and trying to get candidates

521
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 1: in and whatever it might be. If you're Eric B.

522
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: Enemy and you know Houston's open, the Jets probably is

523
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: going to be open, maybe the Bears will be open.

524
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it's probably going to be four or five

525
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 1: openings here. If Eric B. Enemy is who we think

526
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: he is, offensive minded, would you rather go with to

527
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson with what you've seen or go to the

528
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: Jets with you know you're going to get Trevor Lawrence?

529
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: Would you go to Jacksonville with Justin Fields? Would you

530
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: go to Chicago with whoever? I always want the proven,

531
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: elite quarterback that's young as opposed to the what might be.

532
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,959
Speaker 1: Remember Sam Donald was supposed to be that guy, and

533
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: unfortunately he's been coached poorly. So while Trevor Lawrence is

534
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: what we call a what generational it seems like every

535
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: year though a generational guy no matter how is Sam

536
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: Darnold coach poorly? I mean, Ada Gays came out and said, look,

537
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: I made a mistake. How do you I don't like

538
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: the way they go about their business offensively, play calling.

539
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: I just don't. I could get Dan wed for if

540
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 1: we were sitting at a show in an hour and

541
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,959
Speaker 1: we could talk about it. I just and I'll tell

542
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: you what. Let's face facts, Darnold's not above this criticism.

543
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: He forces too many balls. And part of being a

544
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: great quarterback, and you mentioned like in Mahomes and Rogers

545
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: and Watson hold the ball to him. Those great ones

546
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: throw the ball away and no whin not to take

547
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: a sack. Darnold's idea is my arm so good, I'll

548
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: just hey, we're on oh and eleven, let me take

549
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: another shot. And he did it at SC. He just

550
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: had better players at SC at times. So I think coached,

551
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: but I don't think Darnold's made the progress. And say,

552
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: look at Lamar Jackson's growth before this year, look at

553
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: what Josh Allen's done. So coaching does matter, but you've

554
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: got to process the information. But back to if I'm

555
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: Derek bi enemy, I always take I don't want to

556
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: take well, what if Trevor Lawrence is good? Well, what

557
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: if and he may be spectaclar or what if you

558
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: know Fields is spectacular? I got a twenty five year

559
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: old making forty million bucks are close to it a

560
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: year who's on a bad football team that load John

561
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: his shoulders has proven it. He's got national championship, that

562
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: type of DNA and everybody loved. There's nothing he can't do.

563
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: Why would I? The only thing for me is are

564
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: you concerned about the consistency and the commitment of the ownership,

565
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: Because if you're just talking quarterback, I'm not taking the

566
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: one that could be. I'm taking the one that is.

567
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: And Deshaun Watson's one of the five best at his

568
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: position in the league, and he's shown it week to week.

569
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: What's the local reaction to John Wall for Russell Westbrook

570
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: later will move. I think people here feel like you

571
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: lost an all around better player, but you got better

572
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: as a team. And coach Silas said yesterday Dan and

573
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: his presser, and it was I was listening to you

574
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: earlier talk about how the chemistry is gonna work and

575
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: they were talking about FI and he said, well, it's

576
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting. It'd be great when John Wall pushes

577
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: the ball up the floor like he's done in his

578
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: career and gets the ball to guys on the wings.

579
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: That I'm thinking, is James listening to this that john

580
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: Wall is going to be pushing it? But I think

581
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: fans we didn't want it to change, and we know

582
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: that when James wants to change that it happens as

583
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,479
Speaker 1: well every year you're on a one year contract when

584
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: you're a star that comes here. But hey, this franchise

585
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: was stagnant. Getting the playoffs wasn't enough. Why not try

586
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: something difference? And there's a lot of ifs Dan, if

587
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: Boogie Cousins is healthy, if John Wall's healthy after being

588
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: out two years. So I think the fans here are

589
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: ready for it, and I think that I honestly don't

590
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: think that it was a big deal for them all

591
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: we lost Russ, It's like, oh well we still got James,

592
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: we got some new ones, got a new coach. Let's

593
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: see how this one works and we'll see what John

594
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: Wall's bringing after two years of being out. But he

595
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: looks explosive in some of his workouts, but later will

596
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: move for most of the people here. But if it's

597
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: true that James Harden preferred John Wall, can he say

598
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: that you get rid of west Brook and then James

599
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: Harden still wants out? Like why am I I don't

600
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: give a damn what James Harden wants. I have to

601
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: look at what's good for the Rockets. If James doesn't

602
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: want to be there, I don't care if you like

603
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: John Wall or not. And I'm hoping that coach Silas

604
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: has this. It's one thing to you know, we know

605
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: about catering to superstars, and there's no sport in the

606
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: world that caters to their stars more than the NBA.

607
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: But I can tell you this, I'm hoping that Silas says,

608
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: as he mentioned, I'm gonna give him his space, but

609
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna run the offense like I want to do it,

610
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: and we're gonna try to maximize everybody's But I'm with you, Dan,

611
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: Nobody other than Lebron James. I'm telling you, nobody on

612
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: a professional NBA franchise has more puller, has had more

613
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: pull with when the flight charter leaves to go on

614
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: a trip than James, Harden, Lebron and James in that order.

615
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: As far as pull within their organization, well, Daryl Morey's

616
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: gone now. They haven't won an NBA title, So I

617
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: think people are starting to wear thin on great offensive player,

618
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: great player. But I don't care. Either you're either gonna

619
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: buy I in or we're gonna move you. And if

620
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: you don't want to be here, I can get a

621
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: bunch of assets for you. So we'll see what James

622
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: Harden shows up. You know he's going to score Dan.

623
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: But after a year, what is that means? John Wall

624
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: has gone? Next year? So it's getting to the point

625
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: now where people are growing a little tired of it

626
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: because everything's James wants, James gets. How about returning that

627
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: with enjoying it, getting in following suit and putting a

628
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: ring on somebody's finger. People here aren't sure that's gonna happen.

629
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: Have a great weekend. Always great to talk to you, buddy.

630
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:30,760

637
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: the Tragger Grill, the official description is I think it's

638
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: a muff Aletta pinwheel steak with a Balsami reduction. But

639
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: that will be for Todd and myself because Paully is

640
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: not here, and Seaton and mcloven are not here, and

641
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: there's like seven or eight of him at least waiting

642
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: to be put on the grill for a very few people. Yep,

643
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: and it's crisp here. We're gonna have a fire. I

644
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: got three triggers fired up here. It's great to be

645
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: here in the man cave. Yes, Paully, But Dan, what

646
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: if I said, you have to eat that lovely lunch,

647
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: but you have to sit there for an hour with

648
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: Todd at the table by yourself just conversating. That kind

649
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: of ruins it a little bit for you. Well, you're

650
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: gonna get it to go. I think if my mouth

651
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: is full, I don't have to say anything. Just put

652
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: in a bag and take it back to the house

653
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: and take macco down to the basement. But whatever you

654
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: want to watch on a movie Netflix, and then you

655
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: enough to do with me and my annoying question. No,

656
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,719
Speaker 1: because I am really like I came in this morning

657
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: and my mindset was Todd and I are really going

658
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: to get to know each other. That lasted for about

659
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: twenty seconds because I said to him, Hey, Todd, and

660
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: he goes hey, And I said, what are you doing

661
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: this weekend? And then he said nothing thing? And I

662
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: asked you what you were doing this week and then

663
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: I said nothing? And then that was it. We were done,

664
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: and I went, I don't have anything else to talk

665
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: to Tom about. Why is that because we've been working

666
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: together so long, or we're just very different, or you

667
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: just don't find me particularly interesting. I find read into

668
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: this now. No, no, no, no, I don't want you

669
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: to do that. I mean, I don't I find you fascinating,

670
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: but not somebody I want to have a conversation with. No,

671
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: but I look, I love you, but I I don't

672
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: like you. I don't know what to make of that.

673
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: That just seems very hurt. That's wait. But I gave

674
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: you the love. I gave you the love. I don't

675
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: like you. That's gonna, that's gonna. I don't like weekendscially over.

676
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: I might sit here in this chancel Monday morning. I

677
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,439
Speaker 1: just I'm not going home. I'm just gonna stay here.

678
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 1: You know, I'll miss the wife and kids, but I'm

679
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: gonna have to just sit here and deal with that

680
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: till Monday at about seven am. And then there's no

681
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: reason for me to try to do describe why I

682
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: said that. I would like to know. No, no, I don't.

683
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: I love you, but I don't like you. Dad, I

684
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:09,240
Speaker 1: love you, but I don't like you. Well, I can't

685
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: do small talk with the kid that you're upset with,

686
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: like it's one of you, one of your kids. Like

687
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: I love you and my kid, but you know the

688
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 1: way you've been behaving lately, I'm just not liking being around. Okay,

689
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 1: is that fair? Yeah, that happens. It happens with my

690
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: imaging that with my son, like now since he's back

691
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 1: from getting used to it. Yeah, I love him, but

692
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: like this, he's I don't know, he's picked up a

693
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 1: couple of bad habits and he's got a little bit

694
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,720
Speaker 1: of a attitude that I could do with that. Yeah, okay,

695
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: So now you understand you love your son, but at

696
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: times you don't like him. I guess I can do

709
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: in the last segment. Oh and I heard you guys

710
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: talking about bladder integrity and that two hundred episodes was

711
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: just a good year for you on Sports Center. I

712
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: thought I too. I thought I was late. I thought

713
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 1: I missed my spot. Here, you're playing my song, all right.

714
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: How often do you go to the bathroom over a

715
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: seven hour period? Zero times. I've taken one bathroom break

716
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: in the last probably eight plus years. This is season

717
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: twelve of NFL Red Zone, and I took one bathroom break.

718
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 1: And I was playing hurt that day, so I had

719
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: I had an excuse. But nope, I do not go

720
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: to the bathroom for all seven hours. I would like

721
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 1: to see it. Best bladder competition with you and Andrew Siciliano.

722
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: So I think Ceciliano told me he takes breaks. I

723
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: think he does take one break a show. But I'm

724
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: sure you'll have him on and he can tell you

725
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: that for sure, you know. I mean, I thought you're

726
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: gonna say me and Kiper because Kiper's obviously famous or

727
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: infamous for never going to the bathroom during the first

728
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: round of the NFL Draft. So, but I wonder, though,

729
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,479
Speaker 1: isn't it interesting where people will I'm going to guess

730
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 1: that's one of the top questions that you're asked about

731
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: your job. You hit a one hundred percent. There's not

732
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: a day that goes by. People want to talk about me,

733
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: the Iron Bladder. That's my fantasy football My fantasy team

734
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: name is the Aaron Bladders more than they want to

735
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: talk football with me. And I think it's because of

736
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: this dance. It's everybody can relate to it. Tons of people,

737
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: millions of people watch NFL Red Zone. They sit down

738
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: with their beverages and their snacks. They're all fire. We

739
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: get through the first two or three hours and nature

740
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: calls for everybody. They get up from their couch. They

741
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: don't want to because we don't do commercials, so they

742
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: think the next great touchdown could be right around the corner.

743
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: But they eventually give in, Get up, go to the bathroom, comeback,

744
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: and I'm still talking and they're like, well, what does

745
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: this guy take a pee? And everyone is fascinated by

746
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 1: it and everyone Dan comes up to me and thinks

747
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: they're the first person that's ever asked me. Hey, you know,

748
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 1: me and my wife watched the show and we wonder,

749
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,879
Speaker 1: when when do you take a lead? They all think

750
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 1: of the first one, So I try and humor everyone.

751
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 1: It's it's my career has been reduced to the man

752
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 1: with the most bladder integrity on national television. I also

753
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: wondered about this when you're doing your job, because we

754
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: would get criticized on Sports Center because of the highlights

755
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 1: we would pick. They thought, Keith Oberman and I pick

756
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: the highlights, and then they'd get upset or hey, you

757
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: never show us in a positive light. You don't show

758
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: longer highlights with us like you do the Yankees and

759
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: the Red Side. What kind of criticism do you get

760
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:08,479
Speaker 1: on the Red Zone with highlights the frequency and the length. Yeah,

761
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you said that, because I thought we

762
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: were the only ones. There's seven hours commercial free football,

763
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: every touchdown from every game. There's a lot to like,

764
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 1: right and everyone loves it by and large. But if

765
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: there's a negative to it, it's we have done our

766
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 1: jobs so well. I think that we have spawned a

767
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: generation of wanna be television executives because everybody thinks they

768
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: know where we're supposed to be at the moment that

769
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,240
Speaker 1: we're supposed to be there. And everyone thinks their team

770
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: is getting slighted, and everyone thinks that, you know, I

771
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: hate this team or I hate that team or whatever.

772
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: And I'm like, guys, no one, no one in the

773
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: country wants to show you more football than the guy

774
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: you're listening to right now. Trust me on that. And

775
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:01,240
Speaker 1: the thing is they're watching NFL Red Zone. I'm watching

776
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: eight nine games at the same time, so they've got

777
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 1: to trust us to make the division. I'm so glad

778
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,720
Speaker 1: that you said you guys got that grief on Sports

779
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: Center because it's the one negative that I hear. And

780
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 1: I'm like, you're not gonna miss anything. Trust us, You're

781
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: not gonna miss it. Give me the fan base that

782
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: makes you a little nervous. You want me to name

783
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: names here? Ah ha ha ha. Okay, the big ones, right.

784
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,760
Speaker 1: The Dallas Cowboy fans always think one way or another,

785
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: you know that. And I love the Cowboys like I

786
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 1: love all thirty two teams. The New England Patriots have

787
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: gotten a little entitled through the years, I think the

788
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. Yeah, the fans, they they've gotten a

789
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,760
Speaker 1: little entitled. Which is kind of funny because Tom Brady

790
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: told me a few Super bowls ago. He told me,

791
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: when he's on the buy or he's playing on Monday

792
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: Night Football or Thursday Night Football or Wednesday afternoon football,

793
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,760
Speaker 1: he watches NFL Red Zone when he's not playing on Sunday,

794
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: and he says he loves it. And I'm like, you guys,

795
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 1: if it's good enough for Tom, it should be good

796
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 1: enough for y'all. The challenge of this year given interchangeable lineups,

797
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 1: you know, just trying to figure out you think this

798
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 1: game is on a Sunday, Now it's on a Monday

799
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: or Tuesday. How has this year been different for you? Yeah? Well,

800
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: look at with COVID. We've had to change things like

801
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 1: you guys have had to change things like we've all

802
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: had to change our lives. So imagine this, Dan. You know,

803
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: you've lived in TV your whole life. We have a

804
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 1: control room to produce NFL Red Zone, and you know

805
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 1: those people sit in there elbow to elbow. We can't

806
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: do that anymore. We've had to spread out to multiple

807
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: control rooms throughout the NFL Media campus, and people that

808
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: are normally used to the director and technical director sitting

809
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,479
Speaker 1: right next to each other, the producers sitting right close there.

810
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: We they've got that immediate instant communication. They're now in

811
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: different parts of the building, wearing headsets, talking to each other,

812
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: talking to me, and hopefully the production hasn't dropped off much.

813
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: But if it hasn't, it's a testimony to our amazing

814
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: technical crew that is the best in the business. For

815
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: my money. Do you have an understudy? You know people

816
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,240
Speaker 1: have asked me that because I'm taking a COVID test

817
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: once a week right now, and if all of a

818
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 1: sudden I get I get put to the shelf, who

819
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: goes in? They do have someone. We had an earthquake,

820
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: so we do with the show in Los Angeles. We

821
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: had an earthquake during it was the preseason one time,

822
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: and they're like, well, what if an earthquake hit and

823
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: It knocked us off, like what would happen? And they

824
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,839
Speaker 1: told me they have someone I don't even know exactly who,

825
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: but they have someone at NFL Films in New Jersey

826
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: that could take over if it was like a Los

827
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:49,240
Speaker 1: Angeles problem, and if it was a Scott problem. Whatever,

828
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,800
Speaker 1: I'm on the shelf for some reason. They have someone

829
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles they could put in. Hopefully I never

830
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 1: find out their identity. He's a Scott Hanson, NFL Network's

831
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 1: NFL Red Zone host. Coming up this weekend, the two

832
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 1: hundred Show. You can watch all seven hours of live

833
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 1: football and that'll be Sunday afternoons throughout the regular season.

834
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: Who do people say you look like? Okay, so you

835
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 1: guys were just talking about him a second ago, Ryan Tannehill.

836
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: Some people say, Okay, now I'm a way older and

837
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 1: he's way better looking. But some people say Ryan Tanning, Okay,

838
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: I see that he has a head shaved a lot,

839
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: and one time I shaved my head. It was a

840
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 1: it was a benefit for pediatric cancer. And when I

841
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: shaved my head, my girlfriend at the time took a

842
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 1: photo of me and we did a side by side

843
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: with Ryan Tannehill at it. It was. It was not

844
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: too far off. See better looking and much younger. I

845
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 1: see stiffler from American Pie. Oh really, yeah, yeah, I

846
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: could see a little stiffler there. Okay, you know, yeah,

847
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 1: you're the first person to ever tell me that. I'll

848
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 1: take it. I'll take that as a compliment. They had

849
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 1: good numbers on the on the American pis. Yeah they did. Yeah,

850
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: they did quite well. We've all had those moments we had.

851
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: There's nothing higher than the highs that you get in broadcasting.

852
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 1: And you know, I've talked about some of the things

853
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:12,879
Speaker 1: I've been able to do in my career. But then

854
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: the lowest of lows, how that hits you? Like if

855
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 1: you had that lowest of lows during a broadcast where

856
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:25,720
Speaker 1: you went, oh my god, and you can't the camera

857
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: doesn't blink like you're there and you got to do

858
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 1: it and you gotta keep going, and you know you

859
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 1: don't get to go I'm gonna go home. Now. Have

860
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 1: you had that moment where you go, what did I

861
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: just do? I've had two, and one was this season

862
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: and because look at I'm doing seven hours live television.

863
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 1: All ad lived right, and I saturate my brain with

864
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 1: stats facts figure storylines, quotes everything during the week to

865
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: be as prepared for Sunday as I possibly can. But

866
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: when we get on live, we're winging it. So I'm

867
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: dispensing probably thousands, if not tens of thousands of pieces

868
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 1: of information per show. I'm gonna screw up. I'm a human.

869
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,720
Speaker 1: I want my free throw percentage to be around ninety

870
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: nine point eight, but I'm gonna mess up. The other day,

871
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 1: it was two or three weeks ago Ronald Jones from

872
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers gotta run and I called him

873
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 1: La Garrett Blunt. How he's wearing twenty seven, he's grown

874
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: his hair out, he's playing for the Buccaneers, and my, my,

875
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: my lizard brain somehow flashed back to like three years ago.

876
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 1: And then and then I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no,

877
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: I go I go no no, no, no no, no, I'm sorry.

878
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. That's Leonard Fournette. And then I remember going

879
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: with this and my spotterer looks at me like and

880
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, uh, yeah, it's Rojoe. It's the main back

881
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,760
Speaker 1: who's been running for them for the last like basically

882
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: two years, and I just I just wanted to cringe.

883
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: I just wanted to die. But I like explain your spotder,

884
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,879
Speaker 1: like the whole setup you have, because you know, play

885
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 1: by play guy, I'll have a spotter, but you have

886
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: how many monitors and then you have a spotter, a

887
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: stat guy, probably a director, a producer in your ear. Yeah,

888
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,479
Speaker 1: So well with COVID, we've had to pare things down

889
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 1: as well. There are only three people in the studio

890
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 1: with me. There is the camera's robotic and it's actually

891
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,439
Speaker 1: in a locked down position, so we don't we don't

892
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 1: have a camera operator. There's no one else allowed in

893
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: the stage manager comes in when when she needs to

894
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,280
Speaker 1: do her job. But I've got a researcher in a spotter.

895
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:35,320
Speaker 1: They both kind of interchange, but they're sitting socially distant apart.

896
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: But they'll feed me. You know, I don't necessarily I'm

897
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 1: not keeping tabs on Patrick Mahomes has two hundred and

898
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: forty three yards passing in the first half. They'll feed

899
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: me something when when I need to know it, and

900
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: they can do it. We have wax boards. They'll write

901
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 1: it on a wax board and throw it up there.

902
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 1: They'll put something up on their laptop and point to

903
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,359
Speaker 1: the name. If I don't recognize the player who made

904
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 1: the play, or they'll just sometimes they'll just mouth it

905
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 1: to me. They'll be like, you know Trek, and I'm like,

906
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 1: I mean, hopefully it's not Tyreek Hill. I recognize him readily.

907
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 1: But they'll give it. They'll give me something. Hopefully it

908
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 1: doesn't bleed onto my microphone. But I know, I know

909
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 1: a bit about football, but I'm not. I'm not completely

910
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 1: on lockdown with every stat fact and roster and depth chart,

911
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: especially in COVID days. So I'm so thankful for those guys, Tim, Tim, Tim,

912
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:29,839
Speaker 1: Gillianins and Brian Laravie, who's Wayne Laravie's Sun, a great

913
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,240
Speaker 1: play by play guy for the for the Green Bay Packers.

914
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: Those are my right hand men. Well, congrats, Scott, been

925
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: you hey? How are you guys? I'm adding to my

926
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 1: bucket list go on a buddy troop with Dan Patrick.

927
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: I didn't even know that was available, but I'm adding it. Okay,

928
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: But would you go fly fishing? I've never been fly fishing.

929
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 1: Fishing is something that in my head I love, and

930
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 1: then I'm like, I've done it once in twenty years

931
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 1: as an adult, so how much do I actually love it?

932
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,240
Speaker 1: But I think I like it. I don't totally understand

933
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: what fly fishing is. It seems like you're wading in water.

934
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 1: I don't get it. It's probably not the best discussion

935
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: point here. I've just seen it on movies. Yeah, like

936
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 1: a River runs through it with Brad Pitt. Yeah, where

937
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: they make it exactly what I was thinking of. Yeah,

938
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,359
Speaker 1: they make it seem romantic and it's really hard to do.

939
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: But you do feel like you're actually fishing, like there's

940
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 1: skill to it instead of just I'm gonna throw a

941
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 1: line out the water and then just wait for the

942
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 1: fish to take it. I feel like maybe I'm wrong.

943
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,319
Speaker 1: I feel like maybe be in your younger days, you

944
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,439
Speaker 1: were a big pay to go on a big excursion.

945
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: You cast and then you go drink, and then somebody

946
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 1: reels it in and you take the picture. No, no, no,

947
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: that was the dam No no, no, one never did that.

948
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: No no, I didn't want to do any deep sea fishing.

949
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: I would just go in lakes and creeks and go fishing.

950
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 1: But no, no, there was never. Hey, can you put

951
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 1: it the worm on the hook, throw it out there,

952
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 1: catch it and then I'll reel it in and I

953
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,800
Speaker 1: get the photo. Op. No, I didn't do a victory

954
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: laugh like that. I'm so working. I think that's the

955
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: way to go. Yeah, I hope to do that one day.

956
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 1: I think it's a sign of success. I haven't gotten

957
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,240
Speaker 1: there yet. All right, what's the one topic this week

958
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: where you're still going I don't have answers to this,

959
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: and I want them. Oh what an interesting question. But

960
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 1: the end, it's similar to the last time we talked.

961
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:56,799
Speaker 1: Did Sean Peyton that someone years ago I can win

962
00:49:57,040 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 1: games with a tight end playing quarterback and he still

963
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: trying to win that bet. That's the question I have.

964
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: And listen, I understand the Taysom Hill fans took a

965
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 1: victory lap after his performance against the Falcons, which was decent,

966
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: and that victory lap, I hope they enjoyed it because

967
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 1: against the Broncos, you saw more of what I thought

968
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:18,800
Speaker 1: you were going to see. And I think the Falcons

969
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 1: are gonna beat them this week. I don't know if

970
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 1: you looked at the point spread there, it's New Orleans

971
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 1: by only two and a half, which means Vegas is

972
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 1: daring you to bet the Saints, Like, how can you

973
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,720
Speaker 1: not less than a field goal? Number one defensive football

974
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 1: the last five weeks? And the reason you can't is

975
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 1: because they got an hvac playing quarterback for him, And

976
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: so I think they lose this week, and if Drew

977
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 1: Brees isn't back by the time they play the Chiefs

978
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: in two weeks, they have to go to Jamis because

979
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 1: the only chance you're gonna have in that game is

980
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: if you can move the ball up and down the

981
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: field and scores before. Yeah, I'm with you on Atlanta.

982
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 1: I thought that they would win one of these two

983
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,839
Speaker 1: matchups with them. It just feels like that's always been

984
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: the rivalry. It's jusy the team that's not supposed to

985
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 1: win at wins on the road, but you know here

986
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 1: it is with Atlanta only you know two and a

987
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:07,760
Speaker 1: half points. And I see, I wonder does Sean Payton

988
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 1: want to see Taysom Hill in a situation where he's

989
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,359
Speaker 1: down double digit points? Not that you want to get there,

990
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:16,760
Speaker 1: but it would tell him an awful lot about Taysom

991
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:20,799
Speaker 1: Hill if he's down two touchdowns or ten, Hey, how

992
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 1: does he It's like Lamar Jackson, we want to see

993
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 1: what happens when he gets into a situation like that.

994
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 1: It's I think it's a great point. And I think

995
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 1: while the Saints they're pursuing the one seed, they obviously

996
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 1: think and should believe they can win the Super Bowl

997
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: this year, so they'll take wins however they come. But

998
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,840
Speaker 1: I think part of going to Taysom over Jamis was

999
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 1: to try to gather information for next season, for years

1000
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 1: moving forward, and so in that regard, what happened with

1001
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 1: them against the Broncos was almost useless. Like you can't

1002
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 1: take anything away from that game other than even those

1003
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 1: of us that thought it was really hard playing quarterback

1004
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL. It's evidently harder than we thought. Because

1005
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 1: the poor guy hinting that was playing. I mean, he

1006
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:07,720
Speaker 1: was an unbelievable high school player, a good college player,

1007
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: and he went out there and looked honestly, not to

1008
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: be rude, but it was like a guy picked out

1009
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: of the stands. And so it just told us how

1010
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: much harder playing quarterback in this league is, even if

1011
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 1: we knew it. But you can't take anything away from

1012
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 1: that game if you're the Saints at all. So now

1013
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:24,719
Speaker 1: maybe you can learn something in the Falcons. Why is

1014
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 1: it that we look for a story? It may not

1015
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 1: be there, but like to me, Patrick Mahomes has been

1016
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 1: the MVP at least for the last month, Like I like,

1017
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 1: no question, but you know, Tom Brady was there, we

1018
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 1: kicked him to the curb. Russell Wilson. Now, the defense

1019
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 1: playing a little better, the offense not playing as well.

1020
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Rod. It feels like it's a two man race.

1021
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 1: You know. We want to, you know, bring in Roethlisberger,

1022
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:52,440
Speaker 1: but I don't know. Is he most valuable player? Maybe not?

1023
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 1: But why is it where we keep going where you

1024
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 1: know we have tentacles, It's like an octopus. We got

1025
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:02,280
Speaker 1: to bring in somebody here to make this interesting. Well,

1026
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,959
Speaker 1: it's an odd thing to say because this is only

1027
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 1: as third year as a starter. But it feels similar

1028
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 1: to me, like, and you'll remember this fondly, the Carl

1029
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:20,320
Speaker 1: Malone MVP in nineteen ninety seven, where it and Barkley

1030
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,319
Speaker 1: I think actually had a stronger case. Like in ninety seven,

1031
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,879
Speaker 1: I think the Bulls won sixty eight games. They were

1032
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 1: but it wasn't the seventy two wins, and Malone had

1033
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: never won one. And so I think Mahomes has so

1034
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: clearly distinguished himself as the very best player in the

1035
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 1: league that it becomes a little boring to talk about.

1036
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 1: And in fairness, the first five weeks, Russell Wilson was better.

1037
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 1: First five weeks. Russell Wilson deserved to be there, and

1038
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 1: people got really caught up in he's never gotten an

1039
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 1: MVP vote, which I think misunderstood. How the NFL MVP

1040
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:57,400
Speaker 1: voting works. It's not a ballot, it's one name, so

1041
00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:59,239
Speaker 1: if you're voting for a guy, it means you think

1042
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 1: you should win it. It's hard to find a year

1043
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 1: where Russell should have won it. But at this point

1044
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: it would take, in my opinion of Mahomes, melt down

1045
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 1: down the stretch because as great as Rogers, has been.

1046
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,319
Speaker 1: There is one game this season that you can say

1047
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:16,280
Speaker 1: they lost because of his poor performance. That's never happened

1048
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 1: to Mahomes in his entire career, and I don't expect

1049
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 1: happen this year. We had Dan Orlovsky from the mother

1050
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 1: Ship on earlier in the week and he said Travis

1051
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 1: Kelsey is the most valuable non quarterback in the league.

1052
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:35,800
Speaker 1: I don't agree with that. I think Aaron Donald should

1053
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:39,720
Speaker 1: win that award. I think Aaron Donald. I think the Rams.

1054
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,839
Speaker 1: If the Rams had Ryan Tannehill at quarterback, I think

1055
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 1: they'd be a super Bowl favorite. I think they are

1056
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 1: crippled by their quarterback play. But Donald is such an

1057
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 1: unbelievable player. I don't know if Kelsey is more valuable

1058
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:57,439
Speaker 1: than Tiree kill Now. Kelsey has the opportunity. I think

1059
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 1: he's seventy yards short of leading the NFL in receiving.

1060
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,800
Speaker 1: No tight end has ever led the NFL in receiving,

1061
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 1: so he has an opportunity to do that. His production

1062
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 1: over the last five years is just it's unprecedented. But

1063
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:13,680
Speaker 1: I do think you saw, in for example, the Bucks game,

1064
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:18,840
Speaker 1: they he started killing them once they started doubling Tyreek

1065
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:21,400
Speaker 1: Like okay, we've got to worry about Tyreek, then everything's

1066
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 1: open for Kelsey. I just think the Chiefs are in

1067
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 1: such a beneficial spot because he is clearly the best

1068
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 1: tight end in football. And while Tyreek Hill isn't the

1069
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:33,840
Speaker 1: best receiver in football, I would argue Dan, he's the

1070
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 1: best receiver to pair with Mahomes. Like, even if DeAndre

1071
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:40,799
Speaker 1: Hopkins is a better receiver than Tyreek, Tyreek fits with

1072
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: Mahome's skill set so well that you have those two

1073
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 1: guys and you can't double them both, and it allows

1074
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 1: them both to be the best versions of themselves. He's

1075
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 1: nick right co host. First things first on Fox Sports one.

1076
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:56,359
Speaker 1: Let me shift it to basketball. And I know that

1077
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 1: there's always people in the media are going to spin

1078
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,960
Speaker 1: it and look at the negative side of Lebron James.

1079
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:05,359
Speaker 1: And I heard this. I think Skip Bayless even brought

1080
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: it up. Hey, you know what, he should have taken

1081
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 1: less money. You want to win championships, you want to

1082
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 1: be like Okay, so should Lebron have taken I said

1083
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 1: Lebron did take less? I mean he's making less money

1084
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 1: than like six other guys. John Wall makes more than

1085
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: Lebron James, So should he have taken less. Here's the problem, Dan,

1086
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:32,840
Speaker 1: Let's say he did that, and I'm not naming names.

1087
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:35,360
Speaker 1: You you named Skip, I didn't see Skips say that.

1088
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:37,800
Speaker 1: I'll take your word for it. Skips a colleague, and

1089
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 1: I obviously have im mens respect for him. But what

1090
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:45,280
Speaker 1: I will say is this. If Lebron James had said, guys,

1091
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:50,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sign for the minimum, guess what, the exact

1092
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,919
Speaker 1: same people criticizing him for taking the max would say,

1093
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:56,400
Speaker 1: he's trying to stack the deck by taking the minimum.

1094
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 1: This is and you know that to be true. If

1095
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:03,399
Speaker 1: Lebron said I'll take the minimum and the Lakers went

1096
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 1: out and signed Jannis, then it was it would be okay,

1097
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:11,839
Speaker 1: Lebron is running from competition, just like last year it

1098
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 1: was it was you know, oh, Lebron wants it too

1099
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 1: easy by by adding Kauai, now he is supposed to

1100
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 1: make it too easy. Listen, Lebron James is the most

1101
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 1: underpaid athlete in American sports. I don't think that's really debatable.

1102
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 1: I know it's an odd thing to say, but it's true.

1103
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 1: And here's the problem. For the contingent of people that

1104
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: dislike Lebron, they only have the six rings thing left,

1105
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 1: and in their heart of hearts, they know we've only

1106
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:47,439
Speaker 1: got two maybe three years left to hit that one

1107
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 1: because the Lakers gonna win again. And then they're at five.

1108
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 1: And then if you think he's not gonna appeel at

1109
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 1: least one more like Kareem did late late in his

1110
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 1: career as a role player, you're nuts. So when Lebron

1111
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 1: finishes with the most of all time, the third most

1112
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 1: assists of all time, thirteen finals appearances, six rings, what's

1113
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:07,959
Speaker 1: going to happen is folks are going to say, wait,

1114
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: this was a debate and so like it's nice that

1115
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 1: Lebron has not taken over, Like there was the story

1116
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 1: that came out he tried to sign Luca to Team Lebron,

1117
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 1: but Nike kept Luca with Jordan. I think that was

1118
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 1: actually a really nice thing for Nike to do that

1119
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 1: way in thirty years, people know what Michael. They're like, Oh,

1120
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 1: he didn't just have the shoes, he also played basketball.

1121
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: But because it's going to be everything else is going

1122
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 1: to be Lebron's. Oh maybe even that statue outside of

1123
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 1: the United's all of them, Well, maybe you have Lebron

1124
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 1: guarding Jordan outside of the the United Center. Oh, I like that.

1125
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 1: Do you think Lebron gets a statue at Staples if

1126
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 1: they win one more? No? I just I you know,

1127
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:53,720
Speaker 1: it's weird how people and I said this yesterday or

1128
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 1: the day before, like we don't want people to get

1129
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 1: into our scrap books, like don't ruin our scrap book,

1130
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 1: Like we love Kobe and we love Magic and Jerry West,

1131
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 1: and you know the people are true lakers like Lebron

1132
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 1: to people, I don't think they view him as a

1133
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:09,760
Speaker 1: true Laker, even if he wins another title. And I

1134
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 1: don't so I got a statue, Yeah, but I think

1135
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 1: they viewed him as more start orphans. I know, I

1136
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 1: know it's but he's beloved. Lebron is never going to

1137
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 1: be beloved. Shack was beloved, like people love Shack, and

1138
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 1: they respected Kobe, and they loved Magic and they respected Kareem.

1139
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 1: I think they look at Lebron is you know he's

1140
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 1: in town for a few years? And can I ask

1141
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:40,320
Speaker 1: you one other question even though you're the one interviewing me. Yeah,

1142
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: there was all right. So there's this speculation that Lebron

1143
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 1: matched up his contract length with when his kid, when

1144
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 1: Bronnie graduates high school, right, yeah, and I think it's

1145
00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 1: totally unfair. But we all discussed anyway because Lebron is

1146
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 1: alluded to this. I think maybe Brownie can make the

1147
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 1: NBA one day, but talking about him as a high

1148
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 1: school to pro guy, if they change the rules, it's

1149
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 1: super hig expectations. Well, let's say they change the rules,

1150
01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 1: and let's say he is the fiftieth best prospect on

1151
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:11,360
Speaker 1: your board. If it is clear if you draft him,

1152
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 1: Lebron signs with you, does he become worth the number

1153
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 1: one overall pick three years from now? It's a package deal.

1154
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 1: You have the number one pick. You would be taking

1155
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 1: the fiftieth best prospect of fringe NBA nineteen year old,

1156
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 1: but Lebron comes with it. No, no, no fifth pick.

1157
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 1: Not in three years, oh oh, in three years, because

1158
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:40,440
Speaker 1: Lebron will at that point only be like the third

1159
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 1: best player in the league. I don't know if Ronnie

1160
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 1: can play like I don't I don't know if he's

1161
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 1: able to play an no idea. Yeah, I mean he

1162
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,840
Speaker 1: can definitely play. Yeah he is. He going to be

1163
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 1: a guy that can make the league, much less make

1164
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:58,440
Speaker 1: the league right out of high school. Now we're talking

1165
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 1: about totally fair expectation. Yeah, because I got three more

1166
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 1: seasons of playoff basketball for Lebron. Nobody's had this wear

1167
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 1: and tear, you know, Kareem, you know, you had guys

1168
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 1: who played a long period of time, but nobody's had

1169
01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 1: the wear and tear that Lebron has had on his body.

1170
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 1: And in three years, I don't know what he's going

1171
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:20,480
Speaker 1: to be like, even if I get his son. You know,

1172
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 1: I don't want somebody, hey, come out and watch Lebron play,

1173
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 1: you know, eighteen minutes. I don't want to see that though,

1174
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 1: And I don't know if Lebron will ever play. Listen,

1175
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:34,160
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be able to play until

1176
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 1: he's forty. But would you rather have Lebron with his

1177
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 1: son or Lebron against his son? What's a better story? Oh,

1178
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 1: I think Lebron against his son is better. I also

1179
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 1: would think it would maybe be better for his son.

1180
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 1: I agree. I think that. I think playing on the

1181
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:55,840
Speaker 1: same team as him would be very, very It's insane

1182
01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 1: we're talking about this, but I think it'd be better

1183
01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 1: against him. I think it'd be And by the way,

1184
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: if we're talking about it, you know, five years from

1185
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:05,720
Speaker 1: now and Lebron is playing twenty minutes a game and

1186
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 1: a little creaky. His son could have the iversen on

1187
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 1: Jordan moment except on Dad, and I'd be unbelievable. Yeah,

1188
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:16,640
Speaker 1: but I can hear Skip Bayliss yet Michael Jordan never

1189
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 1: used his sons to stay in the game. Yeah, And

1190
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:21,920
Speaker 1: then you can hear Nick read say, hey, you listen,

1191
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 1: Michael's sons weren't good enough to make the league. I kid,

1192
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:26,960
Speaker 1: I mean, and I don't kid attacurate, but I love Marcus,

1193
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 1: so this this one't quite Goodnough, have a good weekend.

1194
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:33,480
Speaker 1: I don't think you created any negative headlines today. Oh,

1195
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Thank you, and I am awaiting the

1196
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:40,919

1197
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:44,280

1198
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 1: teach me to fly fish. All right. Sounds good, sounds

1199
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 1: like a plan letter
