WEBVTT - 01/20/21 DPS Hour 3 Ross Tucker 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.520 Sports Radio Final Hour. On this Wednesday, Dan and the 0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:11.200 Danet's Dan Patrick's Show, Philip Rivers announced his retirement, so 0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:16.360 we have an opening in Indianapolis, maybe New Orleans as well. 0:00:17.560 --> 0:00:23.000 I saw where Drew Brees's wife tweeted out the injuries 0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:27.920 that he had. In her latest Instagram post, Drew Brees's wife, 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:31.160 Brittany said that Drew played with all of these injuries 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:37.160 this season, torn rotator tuff cuff, torn fascia in his foot, 0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:41.280 plus eleven broken ribs, a collapse lung, which we already 0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:45.599 knew about. I don't know why she would do that, 0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:51.159 unless she maybe saying if he does step down, this 0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:54.240 is why he's stepping down. Maybe reminding Drew of all 0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:57.280 the things that he went through as well. But I 0:00:57.320 --> 0:00:59.800 don't know if the criticism. You know, we never know 0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:03.640 about the wife because they see everything, they read everything, 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:05.720 and then they decide if they want to tell their husband, 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:09.000 you know, the negative that they hear or see and read. 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:13.400 But she put that out there, and look, Drew Brees 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:17.040 needs no excuses to retire if that's what he chooses 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:19.920 to do. If he decides to come back. You know, 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:24.920 can a just coming back from a torn rotator? That's 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:29.480 huge and it's an inexact science having you know, had 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:33.000 rotator surgery and I wasn't coming back to anything, just 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:36.520 day to day life, and then you're gonna say, hey, 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:40.039 now can you throw a football? And it feels like, 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:43.399 you know, Withdrew, with all these injuries, maybe even more 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:45.560 vulnerable and at that age. So I'm not going to 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:48.840 be surprised if he retires. Part of me hopes he 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:53.440 retires because it's time to move on, but if he 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.840 wants to play, great. I just feel like we've seen 0:01:56.880 --> 0:02:00.520 the best of Drew Brees. And I always talk about 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.760 this that it's it's selfish when I have this approach. 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:07.760 Philip Rivers could play again, and he had a really 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:11.240 good year. He had a far better year than I 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.640 think most of us, certainly I thought, And he's on 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:17.480 a good team and he was healthy. You know, they 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:19.079 went up to Buffalo and went toe to toe, and 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:22.320 I thought they were the better team there. I thought 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:25.399 Philip Rivers would come back. I don't think that Drew 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:28.760 Brees will come back. But Philip Rivers has decided to 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:32.720 retire and was gonna I think all Along wanted to 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.600 coach high school football because I asked him about being 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:37.720 a broadcaster, and it felt like he had made up 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:39.680 his mind, maybe a commitment to his hometown, that he 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.560 would go back there and be the head coach of 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.600 the local football tick. And I understand that he's got 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.280 nine kids. You know you're gonna be on the road, 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.240 and you're not on the road for just one day. 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:53.520 You're gonna be on the road for you know, three 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.240 or four days when you do an NFL game. And 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:59.600 he probably thought, you know what, it's time for me 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.480 not to be selfish, for me to be unselfish and 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.919 be around, be a coach, give back, and those are 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.840 wonderful traits for Philip Rivers. So I wish him the 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:10.799 best and hopefully we'll have a chance to have him 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.200 on here. Sue. Yeahpoly, the Colts and Saints, they have 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.440 some saucy quarterback situations because none of them really have 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:18.600 a guy they want to go with. And they're pretty 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.040 high end teams, especially the Saints. But these are teams 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:23.800 that are contenders, not in the market for twenty one 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:27.400 year old quarterback. Well, the cupboards bear in Indianapolis, you 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.799 have Taysom Hill and Jamis Winston, at least in New Orleans. 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.120 I don't know which is a better situation too, if 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:37.160 he quarterbacks or no nobody. I would rather have Jameis 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.440 Winston than Taysom Hill's my quarterback. I just I think 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:44.960 he has the qualities capabilities of being a starting quarterback. 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:49.440 It still comes down to can he outthink the opposition. 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:54.400 Can Jamis Winston rely on thinking his way through a game, 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:58.760 avoid mistakes because he's not bred Farve and you can't 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:00.640 be one of those. Hey, I'm just gonna wing it, 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:02.560 or I can throw it wherever I want to throw it. 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:06.120 Can't I don't care who you are. But if Jameis 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:09.000 Winston's able to do that and use this as sort 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.680 of a master class in quarterbacking, and he listened to 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.800 Sean Payton, and he listened to Drew Brees, and maybe 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:17.280 you come out of this and you could still be 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:20.440 the starting quarterback. Yeah, mclub. Jamis is a free agent, though. 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:22.719 Don't you think he'll get some attention? There's a report 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:26.280 lock him forward reported that Peyton wants him back badly 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:28.840 and he wants to platoon him and Hill or something 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.919 like that. L's numbers are pretty good in this starts. 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:35.360 I mean, is it possible he wasn't bad. I mean, 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:36.720 we have to face he had like one hundred and 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:40.599 two rating. He threw for some yards. No, I mean 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.440 not bad. I'm not saying I don't know how he 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.280 even did that. To be honest, I guess that would 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.000 had a tape on him. Can you win a Super Bowl? 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:52.120 Would say some hill. That'd be my question because it's 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:54.200 a long pause back there. By the way, No, I 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:56.800 mean it seems tough, but by the way, I thought 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:58.719 Drew Brees was fairly close this year. They were the 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.279 best team. That game on Sunday easily could have gone 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:03.000 the other way. Yeah, but they they're just so non 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:06.400 threatening because Michael Thomas didn't have one catch, but he 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:08.159 was hurt. It came out after all. I know, but 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:11.479 you would think Tarall Owens played with a broken leg 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:15.200 in the Super Bowl. I mean, you get your if 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:19.120 you're on the field, you get your players the ball. 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:23.200 I mean, Michael Thomas gets targeted twelve fifteen times a game, 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.720 and all Drew could throw was the slant. He couldn't 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.920 throw anything else, and the defense knew this. Tampa Bay 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.640 they kept creeping up, creeping up, creeping up. They were 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.159 up twenty thirteen and Jared and they started to roll 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.800 and then Jared Cook gives it up a ten yard 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:39.760 line and it's all right. They could have won. They 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.680 probably should have. They were at home and up, they 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:44.920 were up ten points, they were up significant league. They 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:46.560 were not going to beat Green Bay and Green Bay 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.440 no way. You're right in my opinion, But you're right 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.640 they could have won that game. I mean, I didn't 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:55.640 think Tampa looked great, but they they played well enough 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:59.920 when they needed to. And you don't make mistakes, you know, Tampa, 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.080 but can't go into Green Bay and all of a sudden, 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.960 you know, you have a couple of turnovers there, even 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.240 though you've blown out green Bay earlier in the year. 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:12.640 How big is this game for Tom Brady Because he's 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.440 won these Super Bowls, He's been in nine, he's won six. 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:19.679 But how big is this that this is your first 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:24.200 season removed from the Patriots and you're going into Lambeau 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:32.279 against Aaron Rodgers the MVP. I can't say it's bigger 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.520 than a Super Bowl, but it honestly feels like it's 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:40.440 bigger than a Super Bowl. If Tom Brady goes in 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.800 and outplays Aaron Rodgers at his age, you got to 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.360 factor that in. Does that sound strange when I say 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.200 that to you, guys, Well, you're right because when people 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.640 talk about the top two or three quarterbacks in the game, 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:53.919 Brady is now in that next tier. He's not on 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:58.240 that list anymore. It's Rogers, Mahomes, Prowley, Russell, Wilson, and 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:01.240 then that second tier comes in and he's mixed in there. Yeah, 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:09.200 I think this is it's a big It's it's one 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.280 of the biggest games of his career, and it's on 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:15.280 a short list of biggest games of his career. I mean, 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.440 you wouldn't think Brady has any more upside left. You Like, 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:22.440 you're the goat nine super Bowls he won six. But 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:26.480 here you are at forty three on the road against Rogers, 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:31.720 who is his best season ever. And you know Drew 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:37.240 Brees just retired, Philip Rivers just retired, Ben Roethlisberger is 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:41.720 probably retiring. Eli's like Brady is, He's there. He's the 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:43.440 guy that's going to turn out the lights. You know 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:45.520 when he leaves the room, he just doesn't want to 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:49.520 turn out the lights. I might be overstating this, but man, 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:51.520 this on the short list of most important games in 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:56.400 Brady's career. Yes, mcclem it feels a lot like Joe 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.560 if he loses. It's Joe Montana in Kansas City. It 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:01.680 feels to me a little bit like that, although he's 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:04.360 better than Montana. Actually he's a little better than Montana 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:10.320 was statistically. Maybe I'm totally wrong, but Montana was close. Yeah. Yeah, 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.360 but if he'd gotten over that hump to a super Bowl, 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:18.080 he'd be the goat, not Tom Brady. You say, you're right, Like, yeah, 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:22.040 it just sounds strange that an NFC title game is 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.960 maybe more or a bigger for Tom Brady. I'm not 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:30.280 saying more important, like just a bigger moment there in 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.440 his career, given that he left the Patriots and his 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:37.199 age and he's taking on Rogers at Lambeau. Yeah, Polly, 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:40.240 Joe Montana's first year with Kansas City after he was 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:44.040 basically asked to leave the nine Ers, he was eleven 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:47.559 and five. He made the Pro Bowl and they lost 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:49.640 then FFC title game to the Bills, but he was 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.840 one game away from the Super Bowl his first year away. Oh, 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.160 let's see Nate and Oklahoma Hey, Nate, what's on your 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:59.240 mind today? Hey Dan, I'm competing with it being threw 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:02.920 Brads and Rivers retired the same year. I wanted to 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:04.560 touch on Philip Rivers. I feel like he was a 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:08.240 forgotten son of the trispect that was the two thousand 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:11.720 and four or a draft class with Eli and Big 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.760 Ben in Helms. You know, Eli had the notoriety of 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:17.040 meeting Tom Brady twice since the Bold Big Ben with 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:20.120 his Super Bowl titles. Philip Rivers was just that constant, 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:23.240 nagging quarterback that you just always had to worry about. 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.800 You know. He had Ladinium early in his career, but 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.240 he was just something in San Diego you didn't think 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:30.280 about until you kind of had to face him. And 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:32.760 I'm really glad that he had the career that he 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:36.440 didn't wish him the best. Yeah, I like him, I do. 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:40.120 I always thought he was a good guest. He just 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:45.079 didn't have postseason success. And that's the measuring stick for quarterbacks. 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:52.400 We overvalue super Bowls. We should value them, but that 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:56.840 usually ends a debate, like Phil Simms was a very 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:01.760 good quarterback with the Giants. Jeff Stettler won the Super 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:05.640 Bowl that year when Phil got hurt, and if Phil 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:09.240 Simms had that Super Bowl, Like, the difference I think 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:12.599 between Phil Simms being a Hall of Famer and not 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.520 is he wasn't the quarterback when the Giants beat the Bills. 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:20.600 That's it. Two rings is really hard to deny, although 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:25.240 we've done that with Jim Plunkett. But it comes down 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:29.520 to that's how important winning super Bowls can be. Jesse 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:31.720 and Los Angeles is back. Hey, Jess, what's on your 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:38.040 mind today? Hey? So last night I was sort of 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:39.880 op night in the NBA, so I got sorry on 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:42.640 the hockey season and I was watching Captain Penn's great 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:45.880 matchup Crosby with the overtime winner, and the broadcaster is 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:47.839 a great job here McGuire's and miss lug As. You know, 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:50.040 there was something missing to the match up like that, 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.760 and it was the sound of mccabilary, Doc Emeric. So 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:54.840 I wanted to ask you and the boys that there's 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:56.960 a broadcaster that when they left, it sort of took 0:10:57.000 --> 0:11:01.720 something away from the experience. Um, Keith Jackson when he 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:05.240 left college football took away. I mean that that there 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:13.079 was something about Keith Jackson's voice then leaving the Dodgers 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:17.319 certainly Doc Emeric. I would tune into a game if 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:21.240 Doc was doing it, or if I hear his voice, 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:24.240 I'm staying with it a little bit longer. Yeah. See, 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:28.000 growing up a Yankee fan in New Jersey, Phil Rizzuto 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.480 was essentially the voice of baseball for me, and as 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:32.560 much of he was like a character and like as 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:34.680 funny as he was, he was sort of the that 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:37.320 to me, he sounded like what baseball was supposed to 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.240 sound like. I was just listening to meat Loafs Bat 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.400 out of Hell and it came on the radio, and 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:45.920 you have the baseball call because it's about a guy 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:49.160 and a girl in a car, and he's treating it 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:52.160 like it's a baseball game. First base, second base, third, 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:54.839 Know what I'm talking about, Yes, Hunt, I used to 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:57.040 really like Ralph Kiner and Bob Murphy in the old 0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:59.640 Mets days. He met Lindsay Nelson goes a little further back, 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:02.240 but just brought me back to a lot of childhood memories. 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.520 I thought that they were really fun too. But a 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:07.640 national broadcaster, not a local one, because we you know, 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:11.120 we grew up with a local one. I had Marty 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:14.080 Benneman and Joe Nuxaw on the Reds games and they 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:20.240 were great, But a national voice that's different, and that's 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.520 where I have Keith Jackson. It was just something about 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:26.560 when Keith came on, he had that excitement, had that twang, 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:31.760 and it felt like he truly enjoyed the game. Yeah, 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:35.200 mcle when they pulled Brent Musburger at the end off 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:37.719 college football, I kind of missed that. I felt he 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:41.520 like he said, big game. Um, I always liked him 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:45.240 better as a studio host, but yeah, I understand that 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:48.720 where you you know, Johnny Miller and golf is another 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.800 voice where when I heard it it always sounded it 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.280 was just different because I didn't think Johnny was going 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:58.839 to throw verbal bouquets at every golfer like I thought 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.319 that he was going to tell you what his aren't 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:06.560 unvarnished opinion. And I always appreciated that. But there's there's 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:09.640 so many broadcasters down through the years that you know, 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:12.439 you just hear that voice and you go, you know, 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:16.640 when Howard Cosell, Howard Cosell was that was a unique voice. 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:21.040 It wasn't it wasn't a trained voice, but he rivaled 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.240 the game that he was doing, or a boxing match. 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:28.680 Probably more so is a boxing commentator than what he 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:32.640 did in the booth because he wasn't a football guy, 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:35.240 but in boxing it felt like he was more of 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:39.880 a boxing guy because his relationship with Muhammad Ali. Uh. 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:43.920 Let me see Taylor in South Dakota. Hey Taylor, what's 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:49.080 on your mind? Hey Dan, I'm a second time I 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:53.839 called second time I got in anyway. Um, I think 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.480 I think that I'm a first off, I'm a big 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.280 Green Bath Aders fan. I haven't for thought a little kid. 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:03.320 But I think if Tom Brady goes into Lambeau beat 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.680 Aanreon Rodgers and then say say my home's in the 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:08.760 super Bowl and stix at the NFL and beats my 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.400 homes in the super Bowl, he can just kind of 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:14.000 wash his hands and be like I did it. I 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:16.280 went on the road. I want all three games on 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:19.240 the road in the playoffs. I beat the supposed the 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:22.040 second match twelve in the league, and I beat myhomes. 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:25.800 The guy you think is the guy game? Yeah, yeah, 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:29.119 I agree. I mean that. I don't think anybody will 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:33.640 have gone through three quarterbacks, three Hall of Fame quarterbacks 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:38.760 in succession, and first ballot Hall of Fame quarterbacks mahomes 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.400 Rogers breeze if if it happened now you can say, well, 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:45.640 breeze at the end of his career, Rogers is playing 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.480 at an all time high and we don't how about 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:50.840 how about we wait and see what happens? That's true? 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:54.560 Right now, we got to have a hot take this. 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:57.720 This would be as impressive as anything Brady ever accomplished. 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:00.880 But let's see if he gets through the Green Bay 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.400 Packers right now? Yes, club? Do you mean rolling through 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:07.800 the afcast and then beating an overrated cults team? Whould 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:11.720 feats it on the AFC's South Ooh Wow? Impressive sixteen 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:15.160 and Ozo. The dunder Mifflin family has a new home, 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:18.200 The Office streaming now exclusively on Peacock.

I love you Dan, 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:34.240 and I love the staff there, and it's very entertaining show. 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:36.520 But listening to you for years, but I almost got 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:38.840 in an accident driving down the road when all of 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.840 you in Unison just said Tom Brady is a second 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:46.760 tier quarterback. I was like, holy cow, how to pull 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:50.840 over to the side. Well, Polly said it, but you know, 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:53.480 when Paul, you do want to stand by the Tom 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:56.160 Brady usually second tier. I think it's the conventional wisdom 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:57.920 of people who know a lot more about football that 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:01.480 the top tier of quarterbacks the NFL now is Rogers 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:05.000 Mahomes and I think it's Russell Wilson, but it's definitely 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:07.960 Rogers Mahomes. Then the next tier of you know, like 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.720 a quarterbacks is to I think you only have two. 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:13.080 I think you have Rogers and Mahomes, and Brady is 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:15.680 not with them. That's fair to say. No, we're not 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:18.280 talking about the next level. We're talking playing today. Yeah, 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:21.560 but the next level could mean you're the fifth best quarterback, 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:23.960 fourth best quarterback. You're not one of the top two. 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:27.440 You're not Rogers and you're not Mahomes. Yeah. See, so 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:29.160 where do you put Brady? Then? If we sort of 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.400 follow this thread a little more, because why not, where 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:34.960 who do you put first, Lamar Jackson or Tom Brady? 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:38.920 I would put Tom Brady. How about Josh Allen? I 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:43.160 would put johnsh Allen. The Shawn Watson I would put 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:47.120 to Shawn Watson. So you would have Russell Wilson, did 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:51.520 you say, um, yeah, probably? I mean his second half 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:53.680 was not good at all. You'd put Russell Wilson over 0:16:53.760 --> 0:17:01.080 TV twelve probably, yeah, right now? Okay? Yeah? But Ryan Tannehill, 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:07.760 I would put him beneath Tom Justin, Herbert Well, Derek Carr, 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:10.040 don't forget it, eddied All in his backup roll with 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:12.000 the Cowboy. Yeah, thank you, mcleve. If we had more time, 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.600 we get to draw Risky. No, how much time would 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:19.840 we need him for the seven hour show? Oh? You 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:23.040 know the fact that that Cold's job, whoever the quarterback 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:28.040 there is, that's a good team. I really like them 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:31.520 a lot this year. But if I'm if I'm the Colds, 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:36.119 I don't I don't want to trade for Carson Wentz 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:41.840 because I get damaged expensive and how costly is it 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:43.119 gonna be? Like? What do I have to give up 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:47.720 for Carson Wentz? Yeah, mcclevin that you know, Andrew Brands 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:49.639 in the world keeps saying the dead cap space or 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:52.560 some a cap space makes it impossible, like it's a 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:55.680 thirty five million dollar hit on your cap immediately. That's 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:59.120 just the beginning, I got you would think that would 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:02.160 be the hurdle, the financial hurdle to get Carson Wentz 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:04.440 and then you realize, then you get him in. Now 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:07.080 you got to fix him. Well, Frank Reich is the 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:13.200 guy for it. I get it, but I I I'd 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:15.800 rather not. At what point can I throw some names 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:19.720 at you for Well, you can't throw Joshawn Watson at 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:21.960 me for the Colts? How about Dak Prescott? Try it 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:25.560 outbid the Cowboys for Dak? You spend forty No, Dak 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:28.120 is going to be the Cowboys, all right? Yeah, Now, 0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:32.240 Matthew Stafford, I think you have to trade for him. 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:34.800 Matt Ryan, I know, I know, well, I WoT the 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.680 free ages. How about um cam Newton or Jamis Winston 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:42.399 Cam Newton, No, Jane m I'd have to know more 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:45.560 about Jameis Winston littaliot you're saying because he could throw 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:49.280 it for some yards, he can, But but that team 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:52.680 is they can run the ball, good defense. I don't 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:56.040 want a quarterback who tries to be something he's not. 0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:58.800 That that would be my biggest concern with whoever takes 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:07.480 over the Colts. But yeah, oh, by the way, Chris 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:11.560 Burman on the show tomorrow. That's correct. We gonna circle 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:19.000 the wagons. Nobody circles the wagons. You like the Buffalo. Yes, 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:21.920 I think if the Bills win the Super Bowl, Burman's 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:26.560 in the parade. I'm barely kidding. He's been such a 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:29.040 Bills guy for so long. If he could, I don't know, 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:32.199 you know, during COVID and any of those things. You know, 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:43.960 he's the may of Hawaii because Aloha means helloha. Ross 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:46.920 Chucker is gonna join us. He's doing the AFC title 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:54.040 on offense. We'll talk to Russ. How much does he 0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:57.200 know about what's going on with Patrick Mahomes because you're 0:19:57.240 --> 0:20:01.960 you're broadcasting the game, and you know, do they have 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:05.080 these zoom calls? And what has he found out about 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:08.000 Patrick Mahomes? Is it a concussion? Is what I want 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:11.000 to know. But he'll join his coming up and how 0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:14.199 important does he think this game is? For Tom Brady 0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:18.520 in Lambeaux twenty one after the Hour back after this 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:23.639 and the Dan Patrick show, Mercedes Benz they go the 0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:27.639 extra mile and I think when you get in one 0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:29.879 of these cars. Now I have a Sedan, it's the 0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:34.040 five hundred series. It is a wonderful car. Spectacular car. 0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:37.119 It's almost like you're sitting on a couch in the backseat. 0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:42.639 It it just like screams luxury there. And then the 0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:45.919 Mercedes Benz people brought in the sprinter van. And I 0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:47.960 was not aware of the sprinter van. I knew what 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:50.240 it was, I just didn't know what it looked like inside. 0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:52.800 And they said, well, this is different. This is for 0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:56.840 a contest. You're giving this away and this January twenty 0:20:56.880 --> 0:21:01.400 fourth is the deadline. There no purchase necenary.

Brett Favre was on TMZ 0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:08.879 Sports and he was talking about Patrick Mahomes and he 0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:12.159 says that he thinks Mahomes concussion is going to be 0:22:12.200 --> 0:22:16.080 a test for the NFL.
