WEBVTT - 10/05/21 DPS Hour 3 Michael Kay and Daniel Jones 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.600 Sports Radio Final Hour. In this Tuesday Dan and The 0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:11.360 Dans Dan Patrick Show, Daniel Jones, the Giants quarterback Danny 0:00:11.440 --> 0:00:13.760 Dimes will join us. Coming up after the big win 0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:16.599 against the Saints. We'll talk to the voice of the Yankees, 0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:20.080 Michael Kay Here momentarily, are we coming up with a 0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:22.720 new poll question for the Final Hour? Mick Lovin? Okay, 0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:25.279 right now we have if you could draft a quarterback 0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:27.680 who is twenty four and under and the runaway winner 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:32.840 is Justin Herbert. Okay, this is probably not a fair question, 0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:35.720 But who's the hardest quarterback in the league to figure out? 0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:39.000 My choices being Derek Carbis. We still don't know if 0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:42.160 he's good. We debated every week. I would put maybe 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:47.360 Ryan Tannehill on. There is there anybody else who Jimmy G. 0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:53.120 Jimmy G. Yeah, and Jimmy G. Jimmy Kafield, yeah, Daniel, 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:58.400 Daniel Jones, I know he's coming up. Kirk Cousins, if 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:00.360 you have an answer on any of these guys, I'm 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:04.600 still trying to figure him out. I am. I don't 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:07.680 know about Daniel Jones. I think he's athletic, but I 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:11.160 don't know how good that team can be. Jimmy g 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.039 I've never been a big fan. Derek Carr has moments 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:17.200 where we go, oh my god, and then other moments 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:20.240 where you go, oh my god. Baker Mayfield, same way, 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:24.960 Jamis Winston, same way, Ryan tannehill on the same way. Yeah, McLevin, 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:27.520 for the record, you've been telling us Daniel Jones has talent. 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:29.720 I know for a long time. Well, I got to 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:31.920 take care of the football. He fumbles the ball. But 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.520 I don't know how good that team is in fairness 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:37.160 to him, but that's a big weekend. He through for 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.160 four hundred yards age seven seven three. D P show 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.800 email address dpt dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle a 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.480 DP show. Last time the Yankees and Red Sox met 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:47.880 in a one game playoff in Fenway, it didn't work 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:51.480 out so well for Boston. It was so bad they 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:53.480 had to give Bucky Den a new middle name that 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:57.440 was less than complimentary. It was nineteen seventy eight. But 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:00.880 you know, there's there's a lot of history, but it's 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.600 not recent history. I'm watching ESPN. They're trying to hype 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:08.440 this game, and they keep showing things that happened you know, fifteen, seventeen, 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:12.239 twenty years ago, even longer, but we wanted to bring 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:15.280 on Michael Kay, the great voice of the Yankees for 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:18.120 the S Network, the play by play voice. By the way, 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:20.359 he has a book that if you haven't grabbed it yet, 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:24.000 it's called Center Stage. His most fascinating interviews from a 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.600 Rod to Jay Z available online wherever books are sold. 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.720 Michael Kay joining us, How would you sum up this 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:35.960 rivalry in twenty twenty one? Mike, pretty much even. I mean, 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:37.720 if you look at the numbers of the Red Sox 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.240 one ten of the nineteen games, they started off great, 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.079 The Yankees ended up great, and they swept the Red 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.240 Sox in the final series that they played at Fenway 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:47.440 Park and Dan. If you think about it, they did 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:50.280 every single one of those wings. If they didn't, you know, yesterday, 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.399 they would have been playing in a tie breaking game 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:56.000 with the Blue Jays. So I think they're fairly evenly matched. Obviously, 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.239 the fan bases don't like each other. I don't know 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:02.000 if there's that much enmity between the players. How good 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:07.400 are these teams? Are either one of these teams elite teams? Well, 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.800 the Yankees can be elite and they can also be awful. 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.359 It's it's a hard team to figure out. There are 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.679 times that they look like they can beat anybody and 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.120 they could easily win the World Series, and then you know, 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.320 they end up losing eight games to the Baltimore Orioles. 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:23.440 They're very, very tough to pin down and say exactly 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.080 what type of team they are. The Red Sox, I 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:28.760 think are better than people thought they were going to be. 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.880 If they don't have JD. Martinez today because of the ankle, 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.600 maybe they're not as good as you would think. I 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:37.520 think the bullpen has been used a lot out of necessity. 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:39.880 I'm not sure how much they are right now. But 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:43.160 this pitching matchup between Cole and Valdi, I think it's 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:45.240 a pretty even matchup. I think it's a pretty even 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:48.720 matchup for both teams. So it's definitely a flip of 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:52.520 the coin for sure. Do you remember when you saw 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:55.240 the Yankees change that they were going to go one dimensional, 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.200 they were just going to be a team that went 0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:00.760 up there and was trying to hit home runs. I 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:02.840 remember it was a couple of years ago, maybe five 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:05.720 years ago, that you know, Brian Cashman, the Yankee GM 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:09.440 said something like I'm looking for Harry Beast. Now he's 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.920 got one in the in the broadcast booth, but he 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:15.640 wanted people out actually on the field. So they just 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:19.400 started piling you know, power hitters up there because they 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:22.800 feel the three true outcomes will walk, to strike out 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.520 or home run. That place to their strength. And I'll 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:27.760 tell you what. Then, when they hit home runs, they do, 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.240 they do win. But the problem is sometimes they don't 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.320 own runs. And when they don't own runs, it's very, 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:36.720 very difficult for them to create runs. Although when they 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.159 were thirty five and eleven, that one streak, you know, 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:40.880 in the middle of the season, they had guys like 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.720 Andrew Velaska is playing in Greg Allen and they had 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.240 to create runs. But they're back to the Yankees right now, 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:48.120 and they're gonna hit a home run or they're gonna 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:49.880 lose a game. Do you think we'll get to the 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:53.880 point where somebody is counterintuitive and that they try to 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:57.120 play small ball. They're in a maybe a pitchers ballpark, 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.839 and that's their strength. I always go back to Whitey 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.599 Herzog with those Cardinals or even you know, Kansas City Royals, 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.960 that they couldn't compete. But you can find these players, 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.600 and if you build your pitching staff in accordance to 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:12.360 your dimensions. Do you think we see that in baseball 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:16.880 at some point? Again, I hope. I'm not sure, but 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.680 I hope. As you know, Dan, sports is very copycat like. 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.719 So if there's a team out there that actually wins 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.479 games like that, I think they might go that route. 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:29.960 But baseball is so heavily analytic, and they are not 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:33.360 doing this just on a whim. They've got computer readouts 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.280 and say this is the best and most effective way 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:39.200 to win games. And until those readouts say something else, 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.120 I think they'll still keep stacking up home runs. The 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:45.080 thing that I never understood, Dan, I understand the home 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.400 runs win games. I just don't understand how they don't 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:49.919 care about the strikeouts. And then you look at a 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.920 team like Tampa Bay. They hit home runs but they 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.200 don't strike out, and I think that might be the 0:05:55.240 --> 0:06:00.680 next step because well, their excuse, Dan is well, nothing back. 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:02.720 You know, if you if you strike out, nothing back 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:04.920 could happen. Other than that out, well nothing good could happen. 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:07.040 I mean you could put a ball in playing there 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:09.440 could be an era. So I think that Tampa Bay 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:11.720 has solved that part of it where you don't have 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:15.080 to strike out two hundred and ten times a year 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.160 and to hit forty home runs. I think that's the 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:19.680 next step. I know we're looking at the end result 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:23.680 with the matchups for this one game format? Is there 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.440 a better format? In your opinion? No matter who's in 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.560 and you know, the Dodgers won one oh six and 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:31.240 they're in a one game format, that's not fair. Yankees, 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.440 Red Sox, why don't they play three? And as I 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.240 said earlier in the show, if Tampa Bay was playing Toronto, 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:39.520 no one would be saying we got to have a 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.039 three game series. It would be yeah, let's just get 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.560 this one and done. Is there a better format of 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:48.440 fairer format in your opinion? No, I don't. I don't 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:50.839 think so. It makes me laugh. But when people say, 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:53.240 you know, it's not fair to the Dodgers, really they 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.839 knew the rules of engagement. Finished out of the Giants, 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.320 you would have to play one game, playout the Yankees 0:06:58.320 --> 0:06:59.600 in the Red Sox. You want to say ahead of 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.000 the raise, wouldnt have to play a one game wildcard? 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:06.560 I actually like it. They're highly rated games. Essentially, you've 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:09.200 created two game sevens win or go home, and I 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.640 think that's what every sport wants to do. I think 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.840 it's perfect. And you know there are teams that are 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.040 going to be left out, and that's the beauty of it. 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.960 If there were. If this wasn't a wild card situation, 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:23.440 it wouldn't be intense down to the last inning on Sunday. 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:25.760 And one other thing, Dan, if you turn this into 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:29.480 a best of three, you are then making it tougher 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:33.240 and more difficult for the team that won the division 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.880 because they've got to wait longer and not play, and 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.360 sometimes that takes you out of your game. I think 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:40.280 you've got to pay a price if you're in the 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.400 wildcard with the Yankees and the Red Sox will do 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:44.880 because you're not going to use coal in the first 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.520 game of the Alds and you're not going to use Evaldi. 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:49.600 In fact, you can only use them once out of 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.560 the best of five. You need that detriment so that 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:55.080 you go to win the division. I like it just 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:57.120 the way it is. Did you ever have one of 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:01.280 those moments phone calls, meetings which George Steinbrenner in your 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:07.080 career where you went, oh boy, I know he was 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:11.200 upset with me once because I said that the Yankees 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:14.080 had renegged on a contract to Daryl Strawberry and he 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.920 was in the car riding to the airport to leave 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:19.840 New York and he was listening to John and myself 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.000 on the radio and heard that, and let's just put 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:24.680 it this way, Dan, he made the driver turn around 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:28.920 on the George stadium. So we had a little bit 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.120 of a discussion after that game, but usually it was 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:33.440 it was It was pretty cool because you know, we 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.280 don't have to be homers with the Yankees. We just 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:37.720 say the truth because that's how George Steinbrenner was. If 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:40.160 the team wasn't playing poorly, he said it. So he 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:41.959 allowed us to say it on the air as well, 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:45.000 and it was kind of refreshing for somebody who didn't 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.320 meet or didn't know George Steinbrenner. How would you sum 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.959 him up? Intense when he was in the building, you 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:52.960 knew he was in the building, even if you didn't 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:56.160 know he was there, if you hadn't seen him. Everybody 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:58.520 was buttoned up. And I think that you still see 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:01.640 the residual of that with Brian Cashman, who once told 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:05.760 me I overstudy everything simply because of the fact I 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:07.400 don't want him to ask me a question that I 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:09.720 don't know the answer to him. So he was driven. 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:12.520 He had a really soft side as well, but he 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.200 was very, very difficult to work for because if you 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.520 didn't do your job, he didn't want you there any longer. 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:20.080 That's the best way I could describe him. We got 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.320 Daniel Jones coming up. Would you rather be a Jets 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:30.440 fan or a Giants fan? Well, that's a hard question. 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.360 I guess the Giants are closer, so I would say 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.800 I'd rather be a Giant fan, although the Jets do 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.200 have some hope because I think Zach Wilson can play, 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:41.040 and I like Robert Sala and how he's comported himself 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.480 as well. But since I don't like suffering that much 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:46.320 stand at least not in sports, I think I would 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.520 take the Giants. Can you see theo Epstein coming to 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:54.400 the rescue for the New York Ments? I can. I 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:57.719 guess the offer could be high enough that any reservations 0:09:57.720 --> 0:09:59.839 he might have maybe working for Steve Colin. I don't 0:09:59.880 --> 0:10:01.760 know why he would have those, but if he did, 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.120 you know, Steve Cohen could write a big enough check. 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:06.920 I guess this is an next thing to conquer. You've 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.880 conquered Chicago and Boston, and if you could somehow straighten 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:11.880 out the Mets. I mean, he's already got a plaque 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:15.520 in Cooperstown anyway, Maybe they just build him an entire 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:18.320 wing if he did this. I wondered if he wanted 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:21.079 to be the commissioner though, because he's working in the 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:24.880 commissioner's office and I don't know what his endgame is, 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:27.240 but I wondered about that that if he was sort 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:30.319 of in the line of succession to take over for 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:33.760 Rob Manfred down the road. You know, I don't know 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:37.240 if he would be because the commissioner's job is more 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:40.600 businessman than sportsman. And you know, obviously he's been the 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:44.360 president of the clubs and obviously ran some business operations, 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:48.480 but you've got to answer to thirty owners and amongst 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:50.640 the owners as the visions, and then you've got to 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:53.280 deal with the players as well. I'm not sure a 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:55.920 he would want it and be the owners of the 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.000 guys that hire the commissioner. Are they going to hire 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.920 theo Epstein. I'm not sure. I think they might go 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:03.640 to the businessman route. Again, what's the coolest thing in 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:09.800 your office? Um, right behind me is all these baseballs 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:11.520 and a couple of them. You know, I had a 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:15.120 lot of announcer signs on Ernie Harwell and Ben Scully 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:17.680 and Ben Scully to me because I went to Fordham 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:19.600 and he went to Fordham. He's kind of like the 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.400 patron saint of what we do even to this day. 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:25.120 So that's that's one of my special things. There. Have 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:31.480 you ever been mistaken for anybody? Key for Sutherland? If 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:35.160 you look at my eye, I can see that, okay, 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:37.760 but he's a little better looking than I am. But 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:42.360 I also have gotten lately Jamison Tyrone, which I'm sorry 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:44.360 for Jamison that you know, people have to say that 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:51.720 about him. What about Kurt Schilling? Oh yeah, I got that. 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:55.079 I got that. Guy comes up to me and said, Kurt, 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.120 I mean, it was unbelievable what you did in two 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:58.959 thousand and four. I said, I didn't do anything to 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:01.560 two thousand and four and he goes, no, no, no, 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:03.679 though the whole bloody sock thing. I said that wasn't me, 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.200 and he thought I was just blowing him off. So 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:08.959 then I you know, if he insisted I was Kurt Schilling, 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:11.040 so then I essentially blew him off. I said, I 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:14.160 don't really want to talk to you because it doesn't 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.280 matter to you if this guy doesn't like Kurt Schilling, 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.920 not at all. But I mean I get Kurt Schilling 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:21.480 a lot, and as I go back more of the 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:30.679 Power Alleys. Have fun tonight there, Michael, I'm gonna try it. Dan, 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.559 thanks a lot. See Michael kay Yankee, play by play 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.000 voice for the S Network in his book is my 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:39.839 most fascinating interviews from a Rod to Jay Z. He's 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:41.960 losing a little hair in the Power Alleys. I'd never 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:45.360 heard that before. Paul, you're losing some ha. He's not 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:49.160 that deep, but it's still playable. I'll take it in 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:53.160 field fly rule in effect. That was good. Yeah. I 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:57.360 was around George Steinbrenner a couple of times, and I 0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:01.240 just remember the people who work there would tread lightly 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:04.679 Steinbrenner well, as they like to say, if they work 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:10.439 for mister Steinbrenner. So George Steinbrenner would be He had 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:15.800 these guys who were up in the the sweet area 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:19.240 and they would watch and see if any members of 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:22.560 the media in batting practice walked on the grass. You 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:26.120 were not allowed to walk on the grass, and there 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:29.000 would be security guys down on the field Waukeie talkies 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:33.040 and they would come up to you and go, hey, 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:38.480 off the grass, and they enforced this. But George was 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:41.080 enforcing this. He didn't want he wanted that field to 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:44.920 look immacuate, immaculate. He didn't want, you know, any slobs 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.760 to be walking on the grass. So you had to 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:51.400 walk on you know, these little paths that you have 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:54.600 on the field there. But I just remember they'd have 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:56.840 waukie talkies and you'd have some guy down their head. 0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:01.199 They were always watching you.

Today. The 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:56.720 Pride of Duke University Daniel Jones. He is the Giants quarterback. 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:59.480 After the big win against the New Orleans Saints over 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:03.800 the week, did you watch Monday Night football? Daniel? I 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:07.040 watched a little bit of it, whether delay pushed past 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:10.600 my bedtime, but I watched the first half. But do 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:15.280 you watch as a quarterback or a fan a little 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:17.360 bit of both? You can't. You can't see everything on 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:20.320 the TV copy, so you gotta kind of piece it 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:23.040 together in terms of what's being run and what they're 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:26.040 trying to do on offense and defense. But it's, uh, 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:28.120 you know, just fun to watch those games. But you 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:32.720 compare yourself, like you're watching Justin Herbert, you're watching Derek Carr. 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:36.800 Do you sample from anybody, Like I'm just curious what 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:41.320 you could take from those games or those quarterbacks. Yeah, 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:43.600 I think there's certainly things you can you can watch 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:47.520 and pick up and uh, you know, throws are making, uh, 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:50.000 concepts are running, you know, how they're how how they're 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.400 kind of playing the game. But um, I think you 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:54.120 also need to be careful with that because you'll know 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:57.000 exactly what they're trying to do. You don't know what 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:00.480 their ideas are going in the game, and uh, you know, 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:05.159 compare yourself too closely without knowing everything could be misleading. 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:07.080 Once the last time you were on the sidelines, you're 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:11.280 watching a quarterback play and you're going, oh my god, like, 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:15.080 I don't think I can do that. I don't know. 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:18.160 I mean I think every week you see guys who, um, 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:22.520 you know, make make some plays that impressive. Everyone you know, 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:24.520 I won in this league, got a quarterback and who 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:26.680 can do it? Oh, there's got to be one where 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:29.440 you go, oh my god, did you see what Mahomes 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:33.040 did or Aaron Rodgers did? Right? Yeah, I think all 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:36.280 of those guys, yeah, you know, I mean those guys. 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:38.680 I think Herbert's one of them, cars one of them. Um, 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:40.680 So that was a fun game to watch last night, 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:43.760 So um yeah, certainly, you know, have a ton of 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:46.840 respect for those guys. How much have you watched the 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:51.639 Cowboys since that's next week's opponent? A good bit kind 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:54.600 of getting into that, you know, last night and then 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:58.600 today starting our prep on them. So they're good defense, 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:01.800 ton of talent all three levels of their defense and 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:04.439 have many time players of force, a bunch of turnovers 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:06.879 and um, you know, do a lot of good stuff. 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:11.240 So last be ready. What's it like being the Giants 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:14.560 quarterback when you're not on the football field, how like 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:17.199 you're walking around? But what did people say when they 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:22.000 come up to you? Um? Most of the time just 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:25.280 just to low and how you're doing. Hopefully, Uh, you know, 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:27.680 congrats on the win and when we win and and 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:31.040 uh just kind of say hello and we know, but uh, 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:33.520 you know, it's uh, it's good, it's been. It's been 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:36.879 most of my time. Uh here you know, we're busy 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:39.879 during the season, so not a ton of time to 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:47.639 be out. Do we like Danny Dimes? Uh? Initially, initially 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:51.320 I didn't at first. Uh it's kind of corny, but uh, 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:54.640 you know it's uh, you know, there's definitely worse things 0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:59.960 should be called. What was your nickname growing up? Didn't 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:03.760 I have a nickname? Uh? Growing up most people call 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:07.240 me DJ or Daniel, but I didn't didn't really have 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:10.320 a nickname. B How good a basketball coach was? Jay 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:15.480 billis very good? He was a very good coach. Uh. 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:20.000 I played with his son Anthony h on every basketball 0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:22.000 team you know, I ever played on from probably the 0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:25.639 time I was in third grade. And uh Jay finally 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:28.359 coached us when we got up to AU in high school. 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:32.560 And uh, I'd say we had the schematic advantage and 0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:34.880 the coaching advantage and just about every game to play. 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:39.200 Did you want to play basketball in college? I did? 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:42.800 I think, Uh, you know, particularly growing up and through 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:45.080 middle school, it's probably what I played the most of 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:47.320 It's the easiest to play. You just need you know, 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:49.840 a couple of buddies and you can you can play basketball. 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:53.199 So we were always always playing hoots and um you 0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:57.200 know my younger brother I was playing college basketball now. Um, 0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:00.680 so we were always playing basketball. And UH play a 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:03.760 lot of football too, But say basketball basketball buy my 0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:06.760 first passion. But you were there in Duke when Zion 0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:08.800 was there. Do you think you could have walked on 0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:13.399 that Duke and played basketball with Zion? I don't know. 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:18.440 I think walking on and then playing with Zion? Uh 0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:22.600 certainly enjoying Washington. But how close were you to go 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:27.359 into Princeton instead of Duke? Uh? I was I was close? 0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:31.160 I think, um, you know, going into my senior year, Um, 0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:34.600 I was committed there and looking forward to that opportunity. 0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:37.600 And then um, you know, through that, through that senior 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:41.440 football season, Duke came on and being a Charlotte kid, 0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:44.199 being close to Duke and opportunity to play for for 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:47.719 coach cut Um, we're all things that I couldn't pass up. 0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:52.600 Are you are? Are you a Carolina Panther fan? I 0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:58.320 was going up. Yeah, not anymore.
