Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Oh, it's our two on this Tuesday, Dan
Speaker 1: and the Dance Dan Patrick Show come on in stay
Speaker 1: a while. I thought I had a brilliant pole question,
Speaker 1: at least last night, after having a couple of beers
Speaker 1: and a cigar. It certainly sounded like it was a
Speaker 1: great poll question. And that poll question is mclovin, would
Speaker 1: you rather have Tom Brady's career and everything he's achieved
Speaker 1: or Patrick Mahomes and what he might achieve? Sixty Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: That's a pretty close result. It's closer than I thought
Speaker 1: it was going to be. But if I said, you
Speaker 1: know what Brady has, and he still has a Super
Speaker 1: Bowl this Sunday, and he wants to play a couple
Speaker 1: more years. We don't know what's going to happen with Mahomes.
Speaker 1: We certainly have an idea that this could be almost
Speaker 1: a regular appearance here in the playoffs and maybe playing
Speaker 1: for Super Bowls. This could have been three in a
Speaker 1: row when you think about it. Yet, an offside penalty,
Speaker 1: the interception and the Patriots get by the Chiefs and
Speaker 1: go to the Super Bowl. But you would have three
Speaker 1: Super Bowls in a row for the Kansas City Chiefs
Speaker 1: eight seven seven three d P show, email address DP
Speaker 1: at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle a DP show.
Speaker 1: You can weigh in with the poll question dial us
Speaker 1: up eight seven seven three d P show, Well, whatever's
Speaker 1: on your mind. And also we say good morning to
Speaker 1: our radio partner that's a Fox Sports Radio, the formidable
Speaker 1: line up there and our great radio affiliates around the
Speaker 1: country numbering nearly four hundred, and our TV partner, Peacock.
Speaker 1: This has to be the strangest pre super Bowl week
Speaker 1: that we've ever been a part of. Chiefs are practicing
Speaker 1: in Kansas City. They won't get to Tampa until probably Saturday.
Speaker 1: There's no media day. They have an opening night which
Speaker 1: is random zoom interviews with the players on Monday. We
Speaker 1: don't have the traditional radio row. There's not any concerts,
Speaker 1: not any goofy media antics, and most of the headlines
Speaker 1: have been about other teams and their quarterbacks than the
Speaker 1: game itself. And I understand the purpose of Super Bowl Week.
Speaker 1: It gets everybody excited for the matchup. Everybody gets to
Speaker 1: sell products there, you get to have parties. But this
Speaker 1: is a super Bowl matchup that really doesn't need any
Speaker 1: hype whatsoever. It's Patrick Mahomes versus Tom Brady that sells itself.
Speaker 1: Everyone understands why things are different, and if anything, fans
Speaker 1: can celebrate that we actually got to this point. Who
Speaker 1: would have thought we were looking at the possibility for
Speaker 1: if they have to move the Super Bowl back a
Speaker 1: week or two. Looks like they're good to go, but
Speaker 1: it's not going to look the same, not going to
Speaker 1: feel the same. But it's still a great week for
Speaker 1: football and hopefully we have a great game coming up
Speaker 1: this weekend. Here's Tony Romo NFL on CBS Analysts. If
Speaker 1: Mahomes happens to lose to Brady this Sunday, this is
Speaker 1: why I keep going back to it. This is the
Speaker 1: biggest game Patrick Mahomes will ever play for the rest
Speaker 1: of his career. If the way to catch Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: he has to win this game. If he loses this game,
Speaker 1: he cannot catch Tom Brady in my opinion. All right,
Speaker 1: I understand the logic here. What he's saying is Lebron
Speaker 1: never got that shot against Michael Jordan. Because let's say
Speaker 1: Lebron beat Michael Jordan. Even though Lebron would have still
Speaker 1: been with the Cavaliers, so they would have been playing
Speaker 1: each other before they'd get to an NBA title, and
Speaker 1: Mike would have been forty at the time because he
Speaker 1: was with the Wizards, but they weren't going to face
Speaker 1: off against each other. The Wizards weren't a very good
Speaker 1: team and Lebron had taken that team to the NBA Finals.
Speaker 1: But you get that shot, and that's something that you know,
Speaker 1: Mahomes may never get this chance again. Let's say Brady
Speaker 1: doesn't get back to the super Bowl. Mahomes will not
Speaker 1: get that chance again to be able to stare down Brady. Now,
Speaker 1: granted there's a big age difference here, and you would
Speaker 1: think there's a big advance enage for Patrick Mahomes talent wise,
Speaker 1: and there is. But if you say I beat him
Speaker 1: head to head in a super Bowl, that's what you want.
Speaker 1: And Mahomes, and as Tony Romo saying, Mahomes knows this
Speaker 1: is now, I don't think that's the most important game
Speaker 1: of his life. Because if you said he's in the
Speaker 1: super Bowl next year, that's more important because you know,
Speaker 1: depending on what happens. Let's say he wins this super Bowl,
Speaker 1: so he's got two and then he would go next
Speaker 1: year and play in the super Bowl, That to me
Speaker 1: would be a bigger moment than this super Bowl because
Speaker 1: it adds another one. It's the third super Bowl here,
Speaker 1: or if you know he's undefeated in super Bowls, like
Speaker 1: that's really important here. And that's why when we look
Speaker 1: at Jordan versus Lebron, well, Jordan never lost. We don't
Speaker 1: factor in, well, what does Mike do in those other
Speaker 1: years when he didn't play for a championship? Lebron got
Speaker 1: to an NBA finals. You know, Brady has lost super bowls.
Speaker 1: Montana got to four, he won all four, didn't throw
Speaker 1: an interception? Well, what did he do in the other
Speaker 1: years when he didn't go to the Super Bowl? And
Speaker 1: we always leave that part of the argument out. And
Speaker 1: I want the guy who's going to get to the
Speaker 1: championship game, not hey when I get there. And I
Speaker 1: don't know if you could do this with the Academy Awards,
Speaker 1: where you go, hey, this actor when he gets nominated,
Speaker 1: he wins, Well, how many times he's been nominated? Six times? Okay,
Speaker 1: but then you'll have Meryl Streep, she's probably Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: She gets nominated every year. It feels like now she
Speaker 1: didn't win every year, but she has a pretty good
Speaker 1: track record of producing consistency there. But if Tony Romo
Speaker 1: thinks this is the most important game of Patrick Mahomes's life,
Speaker 1: it is up until this point. Yeah, point. So in
Speaker 1: that case, Patrick Holmes would be like Hillary Swank. I
Speaker 1: think she's been nominated twice and one twice for Best Actress. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but we've forgotten about Hillary Swink. Right, Well, Mahomes never
Speaker 1: did anything an let's say the next fifteen years. Somehow
Speaker 1: he did nothing the stretch. Yeah, maybe I should have
Speaker 1: come up with a better analogy than the Academy Awards. Yes, mccleman,
Speaker 1: it's a totally different case. But Big bed one two
Speaker 1: super Bowls in its first five years, and then he
Speaker 1: barely lost Aaron Rodgers and then he never got back.
Speaker 1: I don't think. Yeah, so you can win even if
Speaker 1: Mahomes wins two, that doesn't mean he's gonna win eight. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And look, would I take what Brady's accomplished. I would
Speaker 1: if you said I can have the potential of Mahomes
Speaker 1: and what he'll do in his career. There's too much
Speaker 1: of an unknown. I mean, Brady had one serious injury
Speaker 1: when he blew out his knee, and Matt Cassell took
Speaker 1: over that team and they won eleven and five, by
Speaker 1: the way, eleven and five with one of the great
Speaker 1: offenses from the previous year, and they didn't make the playoffs.
Speaker 1: So as much as we want to go see Belichick
Speaker 1: doesn't matter who he's gone his quarterback. Yeah, does You
Speaker 1: would expected a Nick Foles performance from Matt Castle. They
Speaker 1: would have won the Super Bowl without him. They didn't
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs. Playoffs. I don't know where I'm
Speaker 1: going with this, but I just thought, you know, the
Speaker 1: Tony Tony Romo analogy there, all right, that's fine. Yeah, See,
Speaker 1: didn't see Matt Castle coming up today, did you? I
Speaker 1: did not as a sort of Super Bowl storyline, I
Speaker 1: did not. Here is Tom Brady on how long he
Speaker 1: wants to play? Would you consider playing beyond forty five,
Speaker 1: especially with the way you're playing right now? Yeah, definitely,
Speaker 1: I would definitely consider that. And you know, again, I
Speaker 1: think again, it's a physical sport, and just the perspective
Speaker 1: I have on that is, you know, you never know
Speaker 1: kind of when you know that moment is just because
Speaker 1: it's a contact sport and there's a lot of training
Speaker 1: that goes into it, and again it has to be
Speaker 1: one hundred percent commitment from myself to keep doing it.
Speaker 1: I would have wanted to have asked the question, why
Speaker 1: do you want to keep playing? I want to know
Speaker 1: what he feels like, what is it that just keeps
Speaker 1: bringing him back? Now he might say, look, retirements scary
Speaker 1: or I'm always going to be I always view myself
Speaker 1: as the underdog and nobody wanted me, and I'm a
Speaker 1: sixth round draft pick and I got this chip on
Speaker 1: my shoulder like that's what I would hope to get.
Speaker 1: If I say, hey, do you want to continue to play, well,
Speaker 1: of course he's going to say yes. I have heard
Speaker 1: nothing to the contrary where he's going to go, you
Speaker 1: know what, come to think of it, I'm so tired
Speaker 1: of this. I am done. I want to know why
Speaker 1: you want to come back, and I still and you
Speaker 1: know what, he had some verbal bouquets that he was
Speaker 1: sending out with Bill Belichick, and rightfully so. I mean
Speaker 1: Tom doesn't want to be the story or that to
Speaker 1: be the story this week, and what he did was
Speaker 1: smart say all the nicest things in the world about
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. Let everybody else talk about this who's more
Speaker 1: important the Patriot way, and Tom basically just said, let's
Speaker 1: take that topic off the table. Yes see right, It's
Speaker 1: it feels so weird to hear Tom Brady saying nice
Speaker 1: things about Bill Belichick because all you hear is it's
Speaker 1: them against each other, right, is who's better? Is it
Speaker 1: Belichick or Brady? Who is more important? Without just considering
Speaker 1: the idea that they just sort of actually go together.
Speaker 1: You can't have one without the other. And that's been
Speaker 1: my approach. Depending on the year, the month, the season,
Speaker 1: the opponent, it could be Belichick's more important, and then
Speaker 1: it could be Brady who's more important. I think in
Speaker 1: the latter part of Tom's career in New England, Tom
Speaker 1: was more important. I think players wanted to play for
Speaker 1: a Patriot team that had Tom Brady. I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you're finding players who we will find
Speaker 1: players who go, yep, they got Cam Newton, but Bill
Speaker 1: Belichick still there. I want to play for the Patriots.
Speaker 1: I will say one thing that has been lost in
Speaker 1: all of this because we have to pick signs. Oh,
Speaker 1: you know, is it Belichick? Is it Brady? What the
Speaker 1: Patriots did this year at one point, they were six
Speaker 1: and eight with a team that I think had six
Speaker 1: or seven, maybe eight players who opted out. They didn't
Speaker 1: want to play due to COVID and some Marquee players defensively,
Speaker 1: and he brings in Cam Newton. They don't have any
Speaker 1: training camp. I think what he did was really a
Speaker 1: great job. Believe it or not. Now you can say,
Speaker 1: prior to that, should he have done a better job
Speaker 1: in keeping Tom there? Tom didn't want to stay there.
Speaker 1: I think Belichick could have said, Tom, tell me what
Speaker 1: you want and Tom still would have left. Tom went
Speaker 1: enjoying himself. And I always go back to the conversation
Speaker 1: I had with him. This was Super Bowl week before
Speaker 1: they play the Eagles, and had an opportunity to sit
Speaker 1: down with him. NBC was carrying the Super Bowl and
Speaker 1: at one point at the very end of the interview,
Speaker 1: I say to Tom, do you think you and Bill
Speaker 1: will ever get together have a beer and reminisce? And
Speaker 1: he looked at me like that is the strangest, craziest,
Speaker 1: maybe dumbest question ever. But he just laughed. He went no,
Speaker 1: like no, and it was telling because they don't have that,
Speaker 1: They're not going to open up a scrapbook, not anytime soon.
Speaker 1: If you go back and watch Belichick with Bill Parcels
Speaker 1: when they did the thirty for thirty the two Bills,
Speaker 1: they think it was the thirty for thirty, and it's
Speaker 1: just about their relationship. Watch when they sit down. It's
Speaker 1: so awkward. And I can't imagine that Brady and Belichick
Speaker 1: sitting down together and they're going, hey, Bill, tell the
Speaker 1: story about Hey, do you remember Tom, I remember when
Speaker 1: when you needed a touchdown and you got that touchdown.
Speaker 1: I just don't see that happening. And I don't know
Speaker 1: in fairness too, and I think Joe Montana is going
Speaker 1: to join us this week. I don't know if Joe
Speaker 1: ever sat down with Bill Walsh and goes, let's reminisce
Speaker 1: here in fairness to Belichick. I can almost guarantee that
Speaker 1: Chuck Nolan, Terry Bradshaw did not sit down and go, hey,
Speaker 1: let's open up the scrapbook and reminisce. I don't know
Speaker 1: if Troy and Jimmy Johnson did that. And I'm trying
Speaker 1: to think other coaches with their star player or their
Speaker 1: quarterback are gonna sit down and reminisce. But I asked
Speaker 1: the question and I love the response I got from
Speaker 1: Brady because it was so telling, just to go, hey, no,
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? No, not at all, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 1: And anytime a coach and a player would reminisce like that,
Speaker 1: it probably on NFL Network and some special where it's
Speaker 1: thirty minutes and it's hosted by Rich or someone like that,
Speaker 1: and it's very nice and friendly and they overcompliment each
Speaker 1: other for a half an hour. We would never see
Speaker 1: the actual get together where they had some type of
Speaker 1: reunion or something like that. By the way, with the
Speaker 1: poll question, you don't get Mahomes' salary. Okay, this is
Speaker 1: just accomplishments. Now you can say that's quite an accomplishment
Speaker 1: at half a million dollars. You don't get that, and
Speaker 1: you don't get you don't get Chazelle's salary too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's just the accomplishment that Brady has in the
Speaker 1: potential accomplishments of Patrick Mahomes. You get that half court
Speaker 1: basket thing that Mahomes was setting up at his new home,
Speaker 1: and that sounded pretty cool that he stuff he told
Speaker 1: you about. No, you don't get that. You don't get
Speaker 1: that either. All right, we'll get to phone calls. Barry
Speaker 1: Sanders will join us coming up here. What else did
Speaker 1: I want to bring to your attention? Let me bring
Speaker 1: back what Danny m and Dola had to save us
Speaker 1: on First Things First on Fox Sports one yesterday, and
Speaker 1: he had this to say about Tom Brady and the Patriots.
Speaker 1: When you see Patriot way in the dictionary, it's gonna
Speaker 1: have Tom Brady name next to it. None of those
Speaker 1: coaches any passes. None of those coaches caught any passes.
Speaker 1: None of those coaches made any tackles. They got guys
Speaker 1: in the right position because they watched a lot of
Speaker 1: film and they spend all their time at the facility.
Speaker 1: But Tom Brady is the Patriot away and that's and
Speaker 1: that's the reason why Tom Brady's in the super Bowl
Speaker 1: right now and the Patriots aren't. H Oh was Brandon Marshall.
Speaker 1: We gotta teach Brandon when you get a good response,
Speaker 1: turn off your microphone. You don't want to slow him down.
Speaker 1: You want to have him keep going. Let him get
Speaker 1: on a role there. Yees. Yeah, I think that um
Speaker 1: Matt light hit on something really interesting. Is that he
Speaker 1: was talking about you get criticized all the time there
Speaker 1: and a lot of times you take less money to
Speaker 1: be with the Patriots and things like that. It's possible
Speaker 1: that some players go there and play really well and
Speaker 1: feel like they're a really important piece of it, and
Speaker 1: then maybe win a bunch of games and get a
Speaker 1: couple of rings or something, and then they're like, all right, cool,
Speaker 1: now I'm gonna get paid, and the Patriots say, now
Speaker 1: that's all right, see you later. And maybe there's hard feelings. Well,
Speaker 1: you go there for one thing. You're going there to
Speaker 1: play in important games and maybe get a Super Bowl ring.
Speaker 1: You're not going there to get rich. And that's why
Speaker 1: I wonder what Bill Belichick does now, because I don't
Speaker 1: know the competitor in him. And look that this is
Speaker 1: just all hypothetical. I don't know. I don't have any
Speaker 1: information on this, no sources on this whatsoever, and nobody
Speaker 1: really does. But I wonder if Belichick says, how do
Speaker 1: I make this work for me? Because I can coach
Speaker 1: longer than Tom can play. Can I get to Shaun Watson?
Speaker 1: Because if I get to Shaun Watson, now I'm back
Speaker 1: in the game here. I mean, they haven't been good
Speaker 1: with their first round draft picks, so give up first
Speaker 1: round draft picks there, and if you could get to
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson. Now, all of a sudden, you got a
Speaker 1: twenty five year old quarterback and you're gonna have players
Speaker 1: who want to play with Deshaun Watson. I don't know
Speaker 1: what it'll take. I know the Patriots did make a
Speaker 1: run at Matthew Stafford. I don't know how serious it was.
Speaker 1: I don't have any information on that. But if I'm
Speaker 1: the Patriots, you have a history with those in the
Speaker 1: front office with the Texans. Could Bill say this is
Speaker 1: what I'm willing to give you for Deshaun Watson and
Speaker 1: that allows Bill Belichick to be back in the game. Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: if you were Deshaun Watson, that was brooched to you
Speaker 1: and your agents, go play for Bill Belichick and the Patriots.
Speaker 1: Now he might say, look he look at what he
Speaker 1: did for Tom. I get into a system. I got
Speaker 1: a no nonsense coach and he's a winner. He's maybe
Speaker 1: the greatest coach in football history. I'm getting out of
Speaker 1: this situation here where I got an unknown coming in
Speaker 1: I was with Bill O'Brien. This allows me to have
Speaker 1: stability there. And by the way, I'm following Cam Newton.
Speaker 1: I'm not following Tom Brady. I mean, is this crazy
Speaker 1: to think? If you're Belichick? How do I get younger
Speaker 1: at that position and allow me to almost reload? I
Speaker 1: got it my players coming back. Make some moves here.
Speaker 1: You get to Shaun Watson. Maybe you get some players
Speaker 1: who say, hey, I'm going to follow you want to
Speaker 1: I want to play for a team with the show,
Speaker 1: because right now, why would you go to New England
Speaker 1: if you're a free agent. It's not like the overpay
Speaker 1: and you're not playing for a super Bowl. You got
Speaker 1: that shadow of Tom Brady there, I can't imagine. Therefore,
Speaker 1: Belichick needs to make a move that will reinvent himself,
Speaker 1: reinvigorate and rebuild old the New England Patriots. And that
Speaker 1: person is Deshaun Watson. We're gonna take a break, We'll
Speaker 1: come back with the great. Barry Sanders get his thoughts
Speaker 1: on saying goodbye to Matthew Stafford and what role did
Speaker 1: he play in the Lions hiring Dan Campbell as their
Speaker 1: next head coach. Barry joins us next, it's twenty after
Speaker 1: the hour. This is the Dan Patrick Show. Fritzie asked me,
Speaker 1: and I didn't know that he was going to play,
Speaker 1: but Fritzie goes, is that Rocket Mortgage Super Bowl Squares
Speaker 1: Sweepstakes back? And I said yeah, and he goes, how
Speaker 1: much is how much can you win? I go fifty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars every time, every time the score change. I
Speaker 1: thought it's gonna be like ten to twenty grand max.

Speaker 1: the Hall of Famer Barry Sanders joining us on the program.
Speaker 1: So you've seen my body of work, Barry? Absolutely, who hasn't?
Speaker 1: How would you rate my acting ability? I'll see that going. Now,
Speaker 1: what would you want to put me on a spot
Speaker 1: like that? Man? What would you want to put me
Speaker 1: on a spot? Um? You know, but I would say no, Hey,
Speaker 1: we're on your show. How about two thumbs up? Well?
Speaker 1: How many movies have you been in Barry oh ouch
Speaker 1: ouch Okay, not not very many, not very I think one.
Speaker 1: What was the movie? I think I think one. It
Speaker 1: was called Um touch Back, I believe. Did you play
Speaker 1: yourself in touch Back? Um? I played basically I was
Speaker 1: on the sideline acting as a coach, also like an
Speaker 1: assistant coach on the sideline. Kurt Russell, Kurt Russell, there
Speaker 1: you go, there you go. You've seen it, seen it? No,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen my work saying my work. What do
Speaker 1: you think when you see your old game film, when
Speaker 1: you when you're watching highlights and you come on, oh,
Speaker 1: I mean it just you know what, it just kind
Speaker 1: of brings back memories of being young and and being
Speaker 1: able to do that kind of cool stuff on the field,
Speaker 1: and and living out my dream um, and and really
Speaker 1: almost those kind of butterflies you know, of of actually
Speaker 1: playing the game and that that sort of excitement you get, um,
Speaker 1: why are you actually going through it? And middle of it?
Speaker 1: So it was pretty cool. Can you teach your style
Speaker 1: of running? That's a good question, I think, I think
Speaker 1: I think to some, to some yes, you can teach it.
Speaker 1: To others maybe not, But I think I think too
Speaker 1: How many guys had your ability to cut. I don't
Speaker 1: know how fast you were. I just know you had
Speaker 1: that ability to cut. Absolutely, No, I think that. I
Speaker 1: think to the right individuals, I think you can teach it.
Speaker 1: But how many guys I mean, I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: dan Um, I watched the game as a kid, and
Speaker 1: I was imitating so many guys like Joe Washington and
Speaker 1: Greg Pruitt and Tony dors Said and O J and
Speaker 1: Marcus Allen and guys like that. Um, so I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't sit up here like I authored any any
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, very you know what perfect though your
Speaker 1: style was. You had to run for your life behind
Speaker 1: that Lions offensive line, like that was your style. No, hey, look,
Speaker 1: I you know I think um for me, yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: with my style, That's the way I had always run.
Speaker 1: I had trust me as a kid, that's the way
Speaker 1: I ran, you know, even when I didn't have the
Speaker 1: Lions offensive line. You know, so, but that's just the
Speaker 1: way I ran. Take me back to when you played
Speaker 1: your last game and I got a call from your agent,
Speaker 1: Peter Schaeffer, and he said, Hey, Barry's going to take
Speaker 1: a flight to London, right right, right, Okay, did you
Speaker 1: know prior to the game that that was your last
Speaker 1: game and that you were going to take a flight
Speaker 1: to London as you ended your NFL career. Well, No,
Speaker 1: at the time I retired, I didn't know I was
Speaker 1: going to take a flight to London, because the flight
Speaker 1: to London happened in with July or something like that
Speaker 1: on the Evil training camp, and the last game would
Speaker 1: have been that December. I guess of ninety eight, I
Speaker 1: would think, and so, um and so. But I knew
Speaker 1: that season that that was pretty much it. UM. I knew, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I just I just knew that, you know what,
Speaker 1: I had played ten great years and had had a
Speaker 1: great run. UM didn't see uh, didn't really see a
Speaker 1: reason that you know, continue um in the game. I
Speaker 1: knew that that drive and you know that that kind
Speaker 1: of thing you that that that UM pilot light, you
Speaker 1: know that that's always lit, that drives you that UM
Speaker 1: you know, that drives that that fire within. I just
Speaker 1: knew that that was gone at at a year or
Speaker 1: ten and it was just time to move on. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's something it's something that I mean, I guess unless
Speaker 1: you unless you've had that experience of where where you know,
Speaker 1: you have to make a change in life like that.
Speaker 1: Maybe it doesn't sound very clear, but I just knew
Speaker 1: that and understood it. Yes, it's time, it's time to
Speaker 1: move on. Was there any part of you who didn't
Speaker 1: want to break Walter Payton's rushing record? Um, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a that's a tough question to answer
Speaker 1: because being a lifelong fan of NFL and Walter Payton
Speaker 1: and running backs, I understood what that meant. But I
Speaker 1: just knew that for me, you know, the game had
Speaker 1: just run its course, and I you know, I didn't
Speaker 1: get it in the time that I played. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: I got close enough. And it's you know, it's always
Speaker 1: honor to be mentioned with Walter. Um, you know, so
Speaker 1: so you know, so yeah, that that's kind of hard.
Speaker 1: I looked at it. But I also wonder, you know,
Speaker 1: the Lions just said to Matthew Stafford, Hey, we're gonna
Speaker 1: let you, like you pick where you want to go,
Speaker 1: or we're gonna try to help you go someplace. I
Speaker 1: was wondering if you were playing now with the Lions
Speaker 1: and they weren't winning and they had that, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe they would look at the same way and go, hey,
Speaker 1: you want to go to the Raiders, We're gonna send
Speaker 1: you to the Raiders or your favorite team. I think
Speaker 1: back then, do you think that's what the Lions were
Speaker 1: doing with Matthew Stafford is basically saying, Hey, we're not
Speaker 1: going in anywhere. Here's our thank you to you. We're
Speaker 1: gonna send you to the La Rams. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: they're they're apparently, UM seemed to be some of that. Um.
Speaker 1: I think it's a different it's a different league now. Um.
Speaker 1: I think uh, and you know, he's meant so much
Speaker 1: to the franchise. Um, he's carried us for many many years,
Speaker 1: and and um you know so so yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: what you know, whatever that conversation was, the two sort
Speaker 1: of came to an agreement that that was the best
Speaker 1: thing for both parties. Um, you know, I don't I
Speaker 1: don't know exactly you know the details of the conversation. Um,
Speaker 1: but um, but what a blockbuster trade, man, I mean, wow, Um,
Speaker 1: you know and and uh and so hey, look hopefully
Speaker 1: it works out well for both Um. You know we're getting, uh,
Speaker 1: we're getting a young man who's played a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of UM and some very big games in
Speaker 1: a short career. Um, you know, and and we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens. And okay with the trade for if you're
Speaker 1: being a line, I think, Dan, I think we got
Speaker 1: a lot for it. Okay, I think we got a lot.
Speaker 1: I think we got a lot for it. I think,
Speaker 1: uh wow. I mean you know, you look at the
Speaker 1: picks and and things like that. Um, yeah, I think
Speaker 1: I think, uh, we came out pretty good. Uh to
Speaker 1: this point, I think we can say that, Yeah, we
Speaker 1: should feel pretty good about it. He's Barry Sanders, a
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, joining us. We'll get to what he's
Speaker 1: promoting here in a moment. Did you have any part
Speaker 1: in the Dan Campbell hire his head coach. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: say I played a major role in it, but I
Speaker 1: was kind of involved, um in just the conversation with
Speaker 1: with Chris Billman and and uh so forth. Um, um,
Speaker 1: you know, so I kind of I knew that he
Speaker 1: was going to talk to coach Campbell and some others. Um,
Speaker 1: he's kind of goofy Barry. Well, you know, I guess, uh,
Speaker 1: I guess, uh, you know, he's a great coach, um,
Speaker 1: a great, great coaching prospect. He's been around the game.
Speaker 1: I you know, I kind of enjoyed the press conference.
Speaker 1: You know, it was kind of entertaining. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: and so you gotta you gotta come in and entertain
Speaker 1: the fans a little bit, right, you know. But you
Speaker 1: would hope the team would entertain him, Barry. But if
Speaker 1: if the team doesn't do well, then Dan should be
Speaker 1: entertaining in those press conferences. Well, I mean, you gotta
Speaker 1: start off. You gotta start off some way. And I
Speaker 1: think you left the good impression. Um, you know, and
Speaker 1: and um and so you know, I enjoyed it and
Speaker 1: got a few chuckles out of out of the press conference.
Speaker 1: And and you need a few guys who's gonna bite
Speaker 1: on some ankles and knees and and you would not
Speaker 1: have been his kind of player, Barrick. You're not biting
Speaker 1: any ankles or knee caps. Well, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: can't say as a defensive player if I was, if
Speaker 1: I were on defense, I you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I you know, personalities change a little bit here and there.
Speaker 1: Would you've been as safety I've become a different animal, Dan,
Speaker 1: I become a different animal defense. Could you have been
Speaker 1: on Sanders? No, I couldn't I don't want to go
Speaker 1: that far. But no, I love playing defense. And you know,
Speaker 1: of course, in my generation, most of us growing up
Speaker 1: playing the game, we played on both sides of the ball,
Speaker 1: you know. So I absolutely love playing defense, and I
Speaker 1: played varsity defense in high school before I played offense. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, And so I thought I was a pretty
Speaker 1: decent cornerback. I mean, I'd have to go back and
Speaker 1: look at got the take, you know, but in my
Speaker 1: mind I thought I thought I thought I was a
Speaker 1: pretty decent morning. Uh. He's Barry Sanders, the Hall of
Speaker 1: Famer and uh joining us on behalf of Rocket Mortgage,
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl Squares sweepsticks there. Do you want to
Speaker 1: let the audience know what they can win, how they
Speaker 1: can be involved. I want to hear you as a
Speaker 1: salesper give me the give me the sales pitch here, Barry. No, absolutely, Dan,
Speaker 1: We're just trying to give fans watching the Big Game
Speaker 1: a chance to win a lot of cash, you know.
Speaker 1: And so, um, the way it works is, you know,
Speaker 1: every score change during the game, tossed down field, goals,
Speaker 1: extra points, um, fans will have a chance to win
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars UM two fans. Two lucky fans will
Speaker 1: win half a million dollars. Um. So it's free to play.
Speaker 1: So just go to Rocking morgat squares dot com learn
Speaker 1: more about it. Um, it's going to be a terrific game.
Speaker 1: You got two quarterbacks that that can set the scoreboard
Speaker 1: on fire. That that'll that'll bode well for squares players.
Speaker 1: Um and we hope just you know that Rocking Morg
Speaker 1: get uh in square players. Square players, you know, win
Speaker 1: a lot of cash. When's last time you bet on
Speaker 1: the sporting event? Oh? I don't know what. Middle school
Speaker 1: Maybe you were never interested in after you got out
Speaker 1: of out of football. You didn't gamble at all, didn't
Speaker 1: bet on anything. No, no, nothing, No, I never did.
Speaker 1: I mean it was it was probably last why I've
Speaker 1: maybe in the Raiders Raiders Washington super Bowl. What was
Speaker 1: that eighty four eighty three or something like that. That
Speaker 1: was when Marcus had his run about. Oh yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: absolutely yes, so uh but yeah, I've never been a
Speaker 1: big gambler in that way. If if I said you
Speaker 1: were a GM, you could start your team with any
Speaker 1: running back beside you. Who you're gonna start with besides me?
Speaker 1: Any running back who's ever played. Um, wow, I would
Speaker 1: probably I would probably go with Jim Brown. I would
Speaker 1: go with Jim Brown. Oh, I know your dad loved
Speaker 1: Jim Brown, But I don't know how Jim would do
Speaker 1: in today's game. Would Jim Brown be Derrick Henry. I
Speaker 1: think he'd be Derreck Henry. Honestly, That's that's kind of
Speaker 1: what I was thinking. I can't imagine tackling Derek Henry Barren. Oh,
Speaker 1: I know, I know. That's why I'm glad. I'm glad.
Speaker 1: You know. Um, I stopped playing cornerback. You know, we
Speaker 1: were the running backs, you know, trying to tackle that now.
Speaker 1: But Derek, I think he's the closest thing to Jim Brown. Um.
Speaker 1: You look at what he's done the last couple of years.
Speaker 1: Phenomenal year this year, Um, going over two thousand yards.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised to see him do it again. Um,
Speaker 1: it'd be kind of cool to see see the first
Speaker 1: guy able to do it twice. Um. You know I've
Speaker 1: said this before. I think outside of my homes and
Speaker 1: maybe Rogers, he's probably been the most dominant player in
Speaker 1: the game. Um, you know, so so yeah, he's been
Speaker 1: he's been phenomenal. But that that's but yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: I go with I would go with Jim because I
Speaker 1: think he I think he probably dominated the game. He
Speaker 1: dominated the game like no other running back did or
Speaker 1: has when he played, and so got to give the
Speaker 1: nod to mister Brown. My dad taught me, well, oh,
Speaker 1: I remember that. He used to remind you all the
Speaker 1: time about you're no Jim Brown. Hey, look, I mean
Speaker 1: and and to me, that's that's still a compliment, especially
Speaker 1: going from my dad. It wasn't really a k It
Speaker 1: was a backhanded compliment. Yeah, going from my dad, you know,
Speaker 1: that's like one of the nicest things you ever said.
Speaker 1: Why do you think he was so tough on you?
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know that he was tough as
Speaker 1: much as just in his mind he would he would
Speaker 1: say he was just preparing me and and just honest,
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's how he felt. I mean, um,
Speaker 1: But the funny thing about the Jim Brown thing is
Speaker 1: that really all my life, long before I was like
Speaker 1: high school or college or any kind of book and
Speaker 1: you know, Heisman Trophy, any of that, he just loved
Speaker 1: talking about Jim Brown, you know, just because you know,
Speaker 1: I was interested in certain running backs when I was
Speaker 1: growing up, and he would that would give him, you know, um,
Speaker 1: the motivation to just start talking about Jim Brown and
Speaker 1: how great he was and how you know, none of
Speaker 1: the none of the current running backs could stand up
Speaker 1: at Jim Brown, you know, so he was just so
Speaker 1: I don't I don't even know if he was about,
Speaker 1: you know, the fact that I ended up being a
Speaker 1: running back just other than or just he loved Jim
Speaker 1: Brown and that was his guy. Um, you know, so
Speaker 1: that's kind of how that was. Did you ever get
Speaker 1: a hit where it really hurt? Like I don't remember
Speaker 1: you taking on tacklers the way other running you avoided it?
Speaker 1: But did you ever get hit, like get your bell
Speaker 1: rung or get really banged up one time by a defender? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely. I think, Um, my first my first start,
Speaker 1: I remember was in the Meadowlands and I got the
Speaker 1: win and that out of me and uh, I don't
Speaker 1: remember even remember who it was, um, but but even
Speaker 1: you know, so that's the that's probably the one time
Speaker 1: where where I probably had to come out of the game.
Speaker 1: But I think because of adrenaline and you know, because
Speaker 1: you're you're in the heat of the moment. It happens often,
Speaker 1: but you don't notice it, at least for me anyways,
Speaker 1: that was my personal experience. Um, it happened. Um, but no,
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, but it certainly happened after that. But
Speaker 1: that's the one that I remember probably the most. What's
Speaker 1: good to see you. Looks like you could probably h
Speaker 1: give me a couple of carries in a game. I
Speaker 1: I'm too man, I love to No, it's great. It's
Speaker 1: great being here man, thank thanks for having me. But
Speaker 1: Barry Sanders is coming back. I think you want to
Speaker 1: help Jared golf. Are you coming back for the Lions?
Speaker 1: Is that what you're announcing? You want to play again, Barry? Um,
Speaker 1: you mean on the field, Yeah, running back. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: hadn't heard that, Romer. But let's start check into that.
Speaker 1: Let's have to check into that. I have to check
Speaker 1: into that. Are you saying you're open to it, Barry?
Speaker 1: I doubt it. I doubt it. It's great too, U
Speaker 1: great to connect with you again. I hope you're doing well,
Speaker 1: probably playing a lot of golf, not doing anything else right.
Speaker 1: I'm playing a little golf, um, you know, just taking
Speaker 1: it easy. I mean, it's covid man, So what you know?
Speaker 1: How much can you do? But just taking it easy,
Speaker 1: trying to stay safe. Um and appreciate your time, man,

Speaker 1: Jim Brown. Jim Brown averaged one hundred four yards per
Speaker 1: game for his career. Barry averaged one hundred that second
Speaker 1: behind Jim Brown all time. Let me see Jeff and
Speaker 1: Detroit joining us? Hi, Jeff, what's on your mind? What up? Though?
Speaker 1: One time? It's chat Row. I love the interview with
Speaker 1: Barry Sanders. I was trying to get on before to
Speaker 1: share a quick story with you. Man. Listen, when I
Speaker 1: was the key, he played red basketball at my sister's church.
Speaker 1: Barry was one of the most down to earth humble
Speaker 1: you could go and talk to him. He was just
Speaker 1: like an ordinary human being. And Barry is and always
Speaker 1: will be the number one, the number one athlete in
Speaker 1: Detroit because before him, we really didn't have anybody to
Speaker 1: root for other than Isaiah Thomas. And to have a
Speaker 1: man so humble that shares so much of himself with
Speaker 1: the city and never complained that grete about anything. He
Speaker 1: was exactly the type of superhero and superstar that we need. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you need him today. I wish he would suit up
Speaker 1: very humble. Thank you, Jeff. And I played basketball with
Speaker 1: Barry a few times, and he could have played in college.
Speaker 1: Barry was that challenged. He's been in slammed unk contest
Speaker 1: and he's probably five to nine, but he could stand
Speaker 1: underneath the basket and dunk and had a nice shot.
Speaker 1: He could play, and I think he wanted to play
Speaker 1: basketball at Oklahoma Stake. McLevin, do you have prop bets.
Speaker 1: I also want to bring back the Scottie Miller, the Scotti,
Speaker 1: the Maseratti, what he had to say, and this is
Speaker 1: versus the Cheetah, and we'll refresh your memory of what
Speaker 1: he said on this program a week ago before that.
Speaker 1: We need some serious football announs from you. Well, the
Speaker 1: prop bets on DraftKings, sports booker, everything you want to know. Sorry,
Speaker 1: with the coin toss outcome, now maybe PAULI could explain this,
Speaker 1: but it's not fifty fifty. You get minus one h
Speaker 1: three on heads or tails, so you give up a
Speaker 1: little bit here. You have a strong preference. You can
Speaker 1: also bet on which team wins and which player called
Speaker 1: it correctly. There's three different bets on the coin toss.
Speaker 1: That's how detailed are Yeah, but how much can you
Speaker 1: put down on a prop bet? Well, I think there's limits. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you can't parlay at some places, you can't parlay
Speaker 1: prop bets either. Is it like one hundred dollars is
Speaker 1: the cap on these prop bets? Just so you say
Speaker 1: you have something on the game. Yeah, So you can't
Speaker 1: have inside info because like a prop bet for the
Speaker 1: national anthem, there's people who know how long the national
Speaker 1: anthem is going to be within hours of the Super Bowls,
Speaker 1: so they kind of canceled that one. Well, I've been
Speaker 1: there for the National Anthem rehearsals and if I wanted
Speaker 1: to take a stop watch to it, but I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna win a one hundred dollars I guess
Speaker 1: with a prop bet one else. But there's some good
Speaker 1: football ones like try and guess what the over under
Speaker 1: on passing yards are for Mahomes and Brady over under
Speaker 1: for Mahomes individually. Yeah, Mahomes started is a little bit
Speaker 1: higher than Brady. Try and guess the number if you
Speaker 1: guys can, where would you set it? Three three oh five,
Speaker 1: three twenty five for Mahomes, two ninety five for Brady
Speaker 1: man two ninety five for Brady's juicy It sounds like
Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, but he's gonna have to chase Mahomes
Speaker 1: maybe or well, I don't think Tom wants to get
Speaker 1: into that shootout mode of whatever Mahomes can do, I
Speaker 1: can do as well. I think that really important for
Speaker 1: Tampa to understand what Tampa needs to do, not get
Speaker 1: caught up in a shootout. Actually, quick question about these
Speaker 1: the running odds, about how many rushing yards guys are
Speaker 1: gonna really low, like Leonard Fournett's at forty eight point five,
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones at thirty seven point five, Darryl Williams are
Speaker 1: the Chiefs at thirty point five, Clyde Edwards Hilaire at
Speaker 1: thirty point five. So does does that mean that there's
Speaker 1: not gonna be running or like it? Or is it
Speaker 1: this the group like you don't know which guy's gonna
Speaker 1: get the ball? I mean, I thought Fournette would be
Speaker 1: you know, he's been killing it like sixty or seventy.
Speaker 1: They better get more out of Leonard Fournette than that.
Speaker 1: It seems like I mean that when I hear the
Speaker 1: prop bet of not even fifty yards, I'm hoping he
Speaker 1: has that in the first half. One more to sit
Speaker 1: out to me, all the receiving yards are like forty
Speaker 1: forty five fifty And then you got Tyreek Hill at
Speaker 1: ninety two point five. As the over under draft kicks,
Speaker 1: where's Kelsey? Let's see Kelsey? How about point five? You're right,
Speaker 1: Kelsey catches under nine. Oh I got Kelsey at eight
Speaker 1: and a half. Okay, DraftKings is giving way up to

Speaker 1: the Buccaneers wide receiver. Last week, how would you do
Speaker 1: if you and Tyreek Hill lined up? I'm taking me
Speaker 1: every day of the week. I'll take me over anybody.
Speaker 1: Tyreek is unbelievable, super quick, unbelievable talent. But we're talking
Speaker 1: about race. I mean, I got all the confidence of
Speaker 1: myself against going up against anybody. Wait, you think you're
Speaker 1: the fastest guy in the NFL? Yes, sir? Well. Here's
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, the Chiefs wide receiver, who responded last night
Speaker 1: to Scotty Miller. I feel like Scotti answered answer that
Speaker 1: question the right way, you know. I feel like if
Speaker 1: like Luke right now, if somebody asked Luke, Hey, Luke,
Speaker 1: are you fasted in Tyreek? You know? Or Hey, Rob,
Speaker 1: what you fasted in Tyreek? Your answer should be yes.
Speaker 1: I'm that confident in myself that I'm fasted in Tyreek
Speaker 1: You know that's any man. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: care who you are, like you like that. Like So
Speaker 1: Scottie answered that question the right way. But do I
Speaker 1: think he fasted in me? I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe we can do something do and half time or
Speaker 1: something like that. I'm gonna line it up for us. No. See,
Speaker 1: that's when he should have lived up to his advice
Speaker 1: and said, yeah, so I'm the fastest guy. So he
Speaker 1: went from Hey, Scotty's saying, that's the way you approach
Speaker 1: it there, yees do see that's the confidence of the
Speaker 1: guy knowing he's faster to be like. No, I give
Speaker 1: him a lot of credit because he knows that he's faster.
Speaker 1: I'd like to say I'm faster than Tyreek Hill. Yeah
Speaker 1: I said it driving. I ain't faster than him driving,
