We say good morning to our 12 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: TV partner Peacock. You can download the app and watch 13 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 1: for free all three hours. There is no man cave 14 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: like this man cave. You can also see what the 15 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: Dane's actually look like. You can hear their voices, and 16 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 1: you can wonder. I wonder what they look like. And 17 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: now you have that opportunity. We also say good morning 18 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 1: to our great radio affiliates around the country. Doesn't it 19 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: seem like that game with Buffalo and the Colts was 20 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: two weeks ago? It was the first game on Saturday, 21 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: and I thinking back this morning, like wow, that was 22 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: such a long time ago. And then you had the 23 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: game last night where it starts out and it's twenty 24 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: eight to nothing, and I go, I don't know if 25 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: there's anything else to see here other than let me 26 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: see what Ben Roethlisberger does. Is this the last game 27 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: of Ben Roethlisberger's career. This is a team that went 28 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 1: one in five down the stretch. I thought if Kevin Stefanski, 29 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: their head coach, was on the sidelines last night, they 30 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 1: were going to win this game. Now they didn't need him, 31 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: but they were prepped. And I go back to what 32 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: Dan Orlovsky of the Motherships said last week. He said 33 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: Stefanski plans out scripts out the first fifteen plays, and 34 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: he said they need to jump out on top early. 35 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: If they do, then they can win this game. If 36 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: they don't, then they won't win this game. Well, you 37 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: jump out twenty eight to nothing, you're going to win. 38 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: And now you look at this team and you say, 39 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: how good is Cleveland? Because the Browns have had a 40 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: bad history with the Steelers, and last night it seemed 41 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: like they were trying to make up for all of 42 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: that in just one game and did a pretty good job. 43 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: They jumped out to a twenty eight nothing league first quarter, 44 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: and they never looked back. And you have to think 45 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: about it. And I have a lot of relatives who 46 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: were Browns fans and heard from a lot of them 47 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: last night early and often they were exercising all those demons. 48 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: The Steelers were thirty five seven and one against the Browns. 49 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: Since the Browns came back to Cleveland in nineteen ninety nine, 50 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: they had lost only once in Pittsburgh. That was back 51 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: in two thousand and three. The Steelers have Lombardi Trophies. 52 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: The Browns have heartbreak. They lead the league in heartbreak. 53 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: The Browns didn't have their head coach. He's at home 54 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: with COVID, but they looked like they were the blue 55 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 1: blood franchise, poised, confident, swagger. I'll go back to a 56 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: theme that I keep reminding you of the last couple 57 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: of weeks. It feels like Cleveland knows who they are. 58 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: And as strange as that may sound, you can see 59 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: some of these teams in the playoffs. Certainly in the 60 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: regular season. I don't know if Pittsburgh knew who they 61 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: were the last two months of the season. Certain teams 62 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: find their identity. I don't know if New Orleans, who 63 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: knows who they are, but they looked pretty good against 64 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, at least good enough. I think Tampa 65 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: is sort of finding itself. You watch for these teams 66 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: at the end of the year, the last two or 67 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: three games, and then I do wonder. Pittsburgh rested their 68 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: starters in that final regular season game against Cleveland, and 69 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: it looked like they were rusty when they all came 70 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: back out onto the field. I don't know if Cleveland 71 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: is a serious threat to come out of the afcing, 72 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: but I said a couple of weeks ago that they 73 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: have a team, they have a style, They have talent 74 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: that travels, and that means they can play defense and 75 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: they can run the football. If Baker Mayfield doesn't make mistakes, 76 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: force things, try to act like Brett Farve, then this 77 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: is a team that will keep it close with Kansas City, 78 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: in my opinion, And Kansas City has allowed teams to 79 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: stay in games. Now you can say they do they 80 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: sort of toy with you, but then they win these games, 81 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: which is true. But as I've pointed out before, at 82 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: some point you think you can let a team sort 83 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: of hang around and then all of a sudden you 84 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:26,679 Speaker 1: realize you're in trouble. But Kansas City against the Cleveland Browns. 85 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: As much as we look at that and say Kansas 86 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: City should win, that keep factoring in the lack of 87 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: a home field advantage. I truly believe if Pittsburgh had 88 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 1: a packed house last night, that doesn't happen that you're 89 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: down twenty eight to nothing. It doesn't mean they're winning 90 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: the game. Seattle packed house. Are they losing that game 91 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: to the Rams? Maybe they still do. I thought the 92 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: Rams were the better team. But this lack of home 93 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: field advantage is going to help somebody that you probably 94 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: wouldn't expect it help, or it might hurt a team 95 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: that relies on that that energy, and it is something 96 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: that is tangible when you talk to players. When you 97 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: go to certain places like New Orleans, like Kansas City, 98 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: like Seattle, like Pittsburgh, like Green Bay, you have that 99 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: home field advantage and you rely on it. That is 100 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: your twelfth man is what Seattle has eight seven seven 101 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: three d P Show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com twitter 102 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: handle at DP show will come up with a poll question, 103 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: play of the day, some interesting stats of the day 104 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: as well, so Bills over the Colts, Rams beat the Seahawks, 105 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: Bucks over Washington, Ravens over the Titans, Saints over the Bears, 106 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: and Browns over the Steelers. And tonight Ohio State versus 107 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: Alabama in the National title Game. Chris Sims, on loan 108 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: from Pro Football Talk, will join us. Coming up in 109 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: a little bit. Here have we seen the last of 110 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger. Here's Baker Mayfield talking about nobody gave the 111 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: Browns a chance to beat the Steelers. They wouldn't about 112 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: a specifically. Yeah, it's the same quote. But we believe 113 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 1: in the people in this room no matter what's going on. 114 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: As soon as the COVID news came out that we 115 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: were missing some key guys obviously are starting with our 116 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: head coach, we knew that everybody is counting south, and 117 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: we knew what mentality we were going to have, and 118 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: it's just to cut it loose and go out there 119 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 1: and give it everything we had. But there was no 120 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: added pressure, there was no extra anything. It was just 121 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: for us to go out and do our job because 122 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: no one believed in us besides us. Yeah, as long 123 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: as they keep this identity, don't get overly confident. Don't 124 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: change who you are. Go into Kansas City and be 125 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: business like, knowing this is who we are, this is 126 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: what we do, and then you take your chances. You 127 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 1: don't need to do anything crazy here. You have the 128 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: talent to keep this close, and you have the talent 129 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: to win this game. But if if Kansas City all 130 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: of a sudden says, you know what, let's see who 131 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 1: these Browns are. Let's let Baker try to win this game. 132 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: We've seen that before that it doesn't end well. But 133 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: if Cleveland stays with a game plan that they've had 134 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,679 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, Cleveland can win this game. 135 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: As strange as that's going to sound. You know, Tampa's 136 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: got the Saints again. And as much as we think 137 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: you can't beat somebody three times in the row, I 138 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: think the numbers are around sixty seven sixty eight percent 139 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: of the time. The team that won the first two 140 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: is going to win the third. And it's back in 141 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: New Orleans. You know, how good are the Bills? The 142 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,239 Speaker 1: Bills against the Ravens. I give credit to the Colts, 143 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: you know, I thought the Colts were the better team 144 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: for most of that game, but a couple of questionable 145 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: decisions by Frank Wright came back to haunt him, back 146 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: to questionable decisions. Mike Tomlin, you're down twelve, fourth quarter, 147 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: fourth and one. If not now, then when are you 148 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: going to go for this first play? Fourth quarter, fourth 149 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: and one. You've got some momentum, you're down twelve. Here's 150 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger after the game talk without my family, discussions, decisions, 151 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: and you know, I still be year left on my contract. 152 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: I hope the Steelers won't be back if that's the 153 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: way we go, and there'll be a lot of discussions. 154 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: But but now it's not the time for that. Yeah, 155 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: I know Ben wants to come back. It's the right 156 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: thing to say. But if you were Pittsburgh, this is 157 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: where you have that conversation with him and is it 158 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: best for both parties. Ben came back through four touchdowns, 159 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: through four interceptions, through five hundred yards. But this is 160 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 1: a team that I don't know if they knew who 161 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,719 Speaker 1: they were on offense. After you know, they start out 162 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: what eleven and oh, then they went one and five. 163 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 1: I mean they forgot who they were, or at least 164 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: they weren't comfortable with who they were. Ed Bouchett, who 165 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 1: has covered the Steeler since nineteen eighty five. He'll join 166 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: his coming up next dour Brady Quinn, Fox Sports, former 167 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: Cleveland Brown's quarterback.

I said to Seaton 170 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: this morning, can you let Built Barn that I need 171 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: some Built Bars?

Builtbar dot 176 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: com promo codp for twenty percent off mclove And what 177 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: do you have for me today? Okay, we got two 178 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: debates over here. First off, which fan base should be 179 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: most upset today? Most disappointed? Seattle obviously, Pittsburgh obviously. I 180 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: don't think Washington falls into that. No, No, Washington should 181 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: be very proud of what they did, given everything that happened. 182 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: You know, they had no Alex Smith, Tyler, Henneke, Heineke 183 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: played extremely well. I thought that they they held their 184 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: own with Tampa Bay They didn't get embarrassed against Tampa Bay. 185 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: You had Ron rivera battling cancer, Alex Smith coming back, 186 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: They got rid of Duwayne Haskins, They survived all the 187 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: nonsense off the field with their owner, and I would 188 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: feel pretty good going into next season. They may not 189 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: have their starting quarterback, but they got a really good 190 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: defensive line. They got some skill position players and this 191 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: might be one of those. Put in a good quarterback, 192 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: maybe bordering on a very good quarterback, and you might 193 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: see some magic there with Washington again next season. Do 194 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: the Bears belong on the most disappointed fan base? No, 195 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,719 Speaker 1: I would be happy with what you accomplished. You went 196 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: to the playoffs in two of the last three years. 197 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: You know what, we say goodbye to Mitchell Trubisky. Some 198 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: nice parting gifts, and I think they did the best 199 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: with what they had. The problem is where they got. 200 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 1: You know, how they got there is not how you 201 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: would want to design this. That you passed up on 202 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: Mahomes and Deshaun Watson. Mitchell Trubisky got you ish to 203 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: the playoffs. He won the Nickelodeon Award, So there's some 204 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: solace in that. By the way, I enjoyed the Nickelodeon. 205 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: I enjoyed what Nickelodeon did. I had no issues turning 206 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: away from Jim Nanson Tony Romo and settling on Nickelodeon. 207 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: That was a dreadfully boring game. And Nickelodeon I thought 208 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: they did a great job. I thought it was fun, 209 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: it was different. I don't know if it if we 210 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: get too much of a good thing or it's too 211 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: much of a good thing. Nate Burlson was very enjoyable, 212 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: but I thought they did a pretty good job with that. 213 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: What else? Wait, one complaint. They had to slime Noah 214 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,439 Speaker 1: Eeagle in the last moment. If it gets so nobody 215 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: the announces got slimed. They threatened too, but they didn't, 216 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: and Noah was doing the play by play. I an Eagles, 217 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: the son who does the Clippers games. Oh. The disappointed 218 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: fan base said, we didn't talk about the two AFC 219 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: South teams, the Colts and the Titans. Would they belong 220 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: on the pole? The Titans? I'd be disappointed. If I'm 221 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: a Titans fan. We're at home, you're up ten nothing 222 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: and you're not doing anything with Derrick Henry. You would 223 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: contain Lamar Jackson. Yes, so, I would be disappointed the Colts. 224 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: I thought the Colts. I wouldn't have been surprised if 225 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: the Colts won that game. And I can't put this 226 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: at the feet of Philip Rivers. I thought Philip Rivers 227 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: had a better season than I've been giving him credit for. 228 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: They ran the football, the defense is pretty good. There 229 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: at times I thought they were the better team, but 230 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,199 Speaker 1: they were on the road. Tennessee was at home Tennessee 231 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 1: and Pittsburgh. That's where you got to be pretty bummed out. 232 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 1: If you're Pittsburgh, you've got to be devastated because you 233 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,559 Speaker 1: got embarrassed and you got embarrassed by the Cleveland Browns. Yeah, 234 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: I'm a club. Yeah. The other big poll question I 235 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 1: think we'll do it two for Tuesday today is which 236 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: quarterback most likely to retire out of those Rivers you 237 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 1: just mentioned Big Band, then Breeze and Brady as well. Well, 238 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: Brady's not Brady's not retiring. I know that for a fact. 239 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: Drew Breese. I'm trying to get information. I'm trying to 240 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: get somebody to confirm what I found out yesterday. And 241 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: he's got a big job with him. And then you 242 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 1: know at NBC, it's just waiting there for him. You're 243 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: going to be a studio guy and then he'll do 244 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: some Notre Dame football, it looks like, but I gotta 245 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: get it confirmed. Of what I was told last night 246 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: about Breeze. If something happens in the next round or 247 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: they get you know, it's it's kind of I don't 248 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: think it's cut and dried as much as I feel 249 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: like it probably should be that. But you know, Drew 250 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: probably says I can make all these throws. I mean, 251 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 1: give me Michael Thomas back, give me Kamara. I can 252 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: make these throws. I can be right there on par 253 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: And the fact that he's going to go against Brady 254 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: in this next round. If he beats Brady, he's probably thinking, well, 255 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: Brady's coming back next year, and he's a couple of 256 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: years older than me. I don't know if it's as 257 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: cut and dried as everybody's making this out to be Ben. 258 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: I never want to tell somebody to retire. I never 259 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: want to and wouldn't do this. Do I think be 260 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: Ben wants to come back. Do I think the Steelers 261 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: want him back? I think that's the king. I think 262 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: you have to act like you wanting back because and 263 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: you can't say anything now. And Frank Reich has said 264 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: he wants Philip Rivers back, Well, what else is he 265 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: going to say? No, I don't want him back. That's 266 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: you say the right thing publicly here. But if I'm 267 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, I still want to play another season. He 268 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: completed sixty eight percent of his passes. It's a solid team. 269 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: It's a really good offensive line. I got a running 270 00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: attack there. Ben would be the one Ben probably because 271 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: I just I think he's he's gone through an awful 272 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: lot and he's banged up, not not healthy. I don't 273 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: know if you'll ever be completely healthy. Breeze is probably 274 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: gonna go. If I beat Brady, why would I retire? Yeah, Paully, 275 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: you imagine Philip Rivers at home with twenty three kids 276 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: next year, going, what am I doing? They're out there 277 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: throwing the ball out there in the playoffs. I've at 278 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: home with twenty seven kids. Yeah, twenty three and me 279 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: has a whole different meaning to Philip Rivers than it 280 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: does to most other people. Yeah, looking for their family tree, 281 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: twenty three and me. The Philip Rivers story with his kids. 282 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: You asked MC club, I'm gay ahead of myself. But 283 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: if you don't have Ben then who Like that's the uh, 284 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: you know, if you don't have Rivers, then who Well, 285 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: in Chicago it's anything but bisky. Yeah, but even that 286 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: is that Cam is that? Okay, Let's say the Jets 287 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: take Justin Fields and you can get Sam Darnold. I 288 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: keep coming back to Sam Darnold. I think Sam Darnold 289 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: is somebody. If I'm Pittsburgh or if something happened with 290 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo Matt Ryan, I don't I don't know if 291 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's going to be back. And look at the draft. 292 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: I got four or five quarterbacks are going drafted in 293 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: the first round, and then you got Matthew Stafford in there. 294 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: Like there's there's a lot of movement there. Could Cam 295 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: go to Washington? I just think this is it's a 296 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: game of musical chairs here in the off season at 297 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: that position. Yes, the cap hit on beny Way if 298 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: he stays with forty or forty one, and if he 299 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: leaves like twenty oh man, Yeah, I would be surprised 300 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: if he's their starting quarterback next year. If I'm Pittsburgh 301 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: and I'm going to have that young defense again, they 302 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: had all those injuries and by the way, Juju Smith 303 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: Schuster have been I've been critical of but he played 304 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: well yesterday. They target him nineteen times yesterday. But I 305 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: you know, he has to decide do you want to 306 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: be a star, like not a social influencer, but a 307 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,640 Speaker 1: star because you can be because Antonio Brown. And by 308 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: the way, Antonio Brown is a big difference maker for Tampa. Now, 309 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 1: I had a touchdown yesterday, Chris Godwin, hang on some footballs, 310 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: man oh Man. But yeah, I think if Juju Smith Schuster, 311 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: if they're you know, satisfied with James Connor. But that 312 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 1: defense is really good. But I don't know about Ben 313 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: as you move forward, it feels like that's a transitional 314 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: period right now for him. Yes, they really can't run 315 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: the ball anymore. That's weird. The broadcaster said, like, this 316 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: is not the Steelers. We know they throw the ball 317 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: sixty times a game. They know. And I said at 318 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 1: the time when they were undefeated or maybe had one loss, 319 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 1: I said, you can't throw the ball fifty times if 320 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: you're the Steelers in win games and they prove that. Yeah, poem, 321 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: I think I'd be really frustrated if I were a 322 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: Seahawks fan, because the first half of the season, you 323 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 1: look like you're going to the Super Bowl. Your offense 324 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: looks unstoppable. They couldn't pass yesterday, which has never been 325 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: their problem. They did run the ball a little bit. 326 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: The defense was average. I mean they had they had 327 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: Jared Golf with one thumb and they couldn't win. And 328 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: they got manhandled even when Aaron Donald was out of 329 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 1: the game. The Rams are kicking them around. Yeah, Jalen 330 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,919 Speaker 1: Ramsey worth the trade. Yeah, you know, Rams stole that, 331 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: but good for them. Yeah. If I'm Seattle, I wonder 332 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: has Seattle recovered from the Malcolm Butler interception in the 333 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I mean, I really wonder if you're just like, hey, 334 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 1: this is still haunting this franchise for some reason. And 335 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: I thought that their defense was going to be better. 336 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: But give credit to the Rams because they made Russell 337 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 1: Wilson look uncomfortable and that doesn't happen very often, but 338 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: they hit him ten times. You saw Russell Wilson play 339 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 1: in a way that I haven't seen him play very 340 00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 1: often in his career, and you know, the Rams went 341 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: at him. You know, when Jamal Adams knocks Wolford out, 342 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: Polly goes, I wonder if they'll blame Jamal Adams for 343 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: losing this game? And I went why? And he goes 344 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: because now Golf comes in. What if Goff leads them 345 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: to victory. Now, granted, Jared Goff didn't play great, but 346 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams knocks Wolford out and then Golf comes in 347 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: and sort of managed a game. Acres was great, but 348 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: it was that defense. I never thought Seattle was threatening 349 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: in that game. Yeah, Polly, I think you said this 350 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: about a month ago, three weeks about Aaron Donald and 351 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 1: the Rams. If you don't give him Defensive Player of 352 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: the Year, you're picking someone else, just to pick someone else. Yes, 353 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 1: that's how good he is. It really is. It is 354 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: kind of silly to not give it to him. You 355 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: have to just say, well, he got his so it's 356 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: a new person. Let's take a break. Phone calls are welcome. 357 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: Best and worst of the weekend. We'll get to those. 358 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: We got to Play of the Day, stat of the 359 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: Day as well. Chris Simms will join us. There's there's 360 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: a whole lot of talk about DeShawn Watson. Texans can't 361 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 1: get in touch with him him. Then there's the report 362 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: that he would accept a trade to Miami and two 363 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 1: of would then go to the Texans. We'll talk to 364 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 1: Chris Simms about all of this and does he think 365 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: that Ben is done? Philip Rivers? Is he done? Twenty 366 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: one after the hour? Glad you're part of the program 367 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 1: Dan and The Danna stan Patrick Show.

If you're 373 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: looking to lose weight, you don't want to eat some 374 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: cardboard and there's no aftertaste. There's a lot of times 375 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: when you eat something that's good for you, certainly like 376 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: a protein bar, you go, yeah, like sawdust. That's not 377 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 1: the case.

So one an hour is not 382 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: the way to go. No, it would be kind of 383 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: unfair as you don't do five a day, just one 384 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 1: a day.

Chris, thanks for 405 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: joining us. Let me start with the quarterback we are 406 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: most likely to not see next season. Philip Rivers, Ben Roethlisberger, 407 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 1: Drew Brees. Okay, the one we're most likely not to see. 408 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's really up in the air 409 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 1: for all three of them. I'll say I don't see 410 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: Big Ben. I think Big Ben's gonna try to give 411 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 1: it one more year, all right, So I'm gonna say that. 412 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 1: And I think for what he's done for the Pittsburgh organization, 413 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 1: if he says he wants to come back one more year, 414 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: they'll probably let him. But Drew Brees, Philip Rivers one, 415 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: you know, I think Philip Rivers is probably the guy 416 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 1: I would say is the most likely we won't see again. 417 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: Drew Brees. I think it's a little bit like Ben Roethlisberger. 418 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 1: If he says he wants to come back, they're gonna 419 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 1: bring him back. But I do get a feel or 420 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: a sense just by some of the comments Sean Payton 421 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 1: made during the year that they'd like to move on 422 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: a little bit. But I think Rivers would probably be 423 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 1: the leader in the clubhouse on that one. Who deserves 424 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: the heat for the Steelers lost last night. Well, um, 425 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: you know, overall, just the whole offensive unit, the approach, 426 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: everything they did, you know, towards the end of the year. 427 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: You know, I think I came out a few weeks ago. 428 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 1: It's one thing to be predictable. It's one thing to 429 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: be predictable within your predictability. I mean, okay, we're gonna 430 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: we're gonna throw the ball, and now you know we're 431 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: gonna throw the ball, So they're predictably predictable, right, that's 432 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: a better way to say it. See, me and me 433 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: and English aren't always all that good, but that's the way. 434 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: That's why they pay you. The talk pretty yeah, yeah, 435 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: me talk pretty right, Me play football, me blonde, I mean, 436 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: not that smart. So but but that's like, I think 437 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: that's it though, when when you talk about it, it's 438 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: we know they're gonna throw the ball, okay, and then 439 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: to compound it, we know they're gonna throw the ball 440 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: five yards down the field, you know, over the middle 441 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: of the middle of the ball, middle of the field, 442 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: that area. And I think that's really the issue. I mean, 443 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 1: come on, snap over the head, bad interception, over the 444 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 1: running back's head in a formation and a play set 445 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 1: that they usually don't do, play action, one man route, 446 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 1: you know. Then they get into the next drive and 447 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 1: it's a third and one and they can't even run 448 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,679 Speaker 1: the ball for a yard if they really want to, 449 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: because that's not what they are. So it's really overall 450 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 1: just the offense in general, and of course Big Ben's 451 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: a big part of that. By the way, we're focusing 452 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 1: on the teams that lost over the weekend right now, 453 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: and then we'll talk about, you know, moving forward. So 454 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 1: just so you know, the Rams and the Seahawks. You know, 455 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: I'm not surprised at what happened. I'm surprised at how 456 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: it happened. It really felt like the Rams that was 457 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: a varsity in Seattle was a junior varsity. How did 458 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 1: that happen at home to Seattle. Yeah, well, the Rams 459 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,160 Speaker 1: defense is special. That's the first thing and the one 460 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: thing I say when I really break down Rams Seahawks 461 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: matchups too. You gotta remember the Rams were built to 462 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: beat the Seahawks, you know, when Sean McVeigh took over 463 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 1: Seahawks for King of the World. You know, so you're 464 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 1: gonna build your team to wait how are we gonna 465 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: win a division? And that was you know, priority number one. 466 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: So really on the field, player for player, they match 467 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:31,719 Speaker 1: up well with them. And then the defense for the Rams, 468 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: you know just what they do to the Seahawks. They 469 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: got a front four that can contain Russell Wilson, they 470 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: got a DK Metcalfe Racer and Jalen Ramsey. And I 471 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: think the big thing is just to focus on the Seahawks, 472 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:47,159 Speaker 1: like you're saying, they need another idea guy on the 473 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball. I like Brian Schottenheimer, but 474 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: it's like maybe, like I would say with Greg Roman 475 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 1: in Baltimore, it might be one of those things where 476 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: you go, we need to bring a passing game coordinator 477 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: in here to just infuse a few more ideas and 478 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: and things into our offense because as you see, it's 479 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: very stale and teams really caught onto it the last 480 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: four or five weeks of the year. How should Washington 481 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: fans feel today that their organizations going in the right direction. 482 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: There's a lot to be excited about. I don't think 483 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: Taylor Heineke is going to be the future of the franchise, 484 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 1: but either way, that was amazing with what the hell 485 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,880 Speaker 1: we saw the other night. I mean, right, I don't know. 486 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: I just kept going, all right, here comes the blowout. 487 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: What he did? Whoa unbelievable All right, here comes the 488 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: blow out, and then he'd pull out another unbelievable football play. 489 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: But between that defense, you know, some of the guys 490 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: they got all over there. You know, even in the secondary. 491 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: They got a good offensive line, they got a star receiver, 492 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,400 Speaker 1: and Terry McLaurin and Tonio Gibson, who was playing hurt 493 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: here at the end of the year, is a really 494 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,640 Speaker 1: damn good running back. Dan They're a team I would say, 495 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,400 Speaker 1: like they get this quarterback situation figured out. Watch out 496 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: for Washington. In twenty twenty one, what happened to the Titans. 497 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: The Titans ran into a healthy Baltimore Ravens defense. The 498 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: first time they played. There was no Brandon Williams or 499 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: Klais Campbell. They dominated the line of scrimmage, the Ravens 500 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 1: defensive line, Brandon Williams, Lais Campbell, Matt ju Don. They 501 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: kicked butt and I think the rookie linebackers they have 502 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: in Patrick Queen and Malie Harrison too. You know the 503 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: fact that they got to see Tennessee earlier. I think 504 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: helped them how to defend the run game and what 505 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: to do properly. There was really a big thing. And 506 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: then those two corners in the back end, the fact 507 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: that you can rely on them and go, wait, we 508 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,719 Speaker 1: gotta stop Derrick Henry and then we gotta put you 509 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 1: guys in an island versus A. J. Brown and Corey Davis. No, 510 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: that's that's a special defensive unit. And and of course 511 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 1: you know that offense for the Baltimore Ravens and their 512 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: physicality and Lamar Dan. If they just throw it just 513 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: enough like we saw yesterday with Hollywood Brown outside the 514 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: numbers and just attack that part of the field to 515 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: where defenses have to defend it, it's gonna help their 516 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 1: offense out big time. It's going to open up the 517 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: running lanes and everything like that. I thought that was 518 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 1: one of the underrated aspects of the game yesterday. I 519 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 1: guess I should mention the Bears to be professional. Sure, 520 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: I guess the one question I have is, you know, 521 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: what do you do with Mitchell Trubisky. I feel like 522 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: they're gonna bring them back to a one or two 523 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: year deal and go, okay, we're gonna play the style 524 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: of football we played here the last five or six 525 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,919 Speaker 1: weeks of the year, but now we're gonna grow that 526 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: as far as the Rolodex plays that can come. All 527 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: of attacks. Stop trying to be the Kansas City Chiefs 528 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: in the in Patrick Mahomes. That's not going to happen 529 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: in Chicago. That's not who you are. So yeah, they 530 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: gotta go all in on this offensive approach. But I 531 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: don't know. I'm one that I look at it and 532 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: just go the Bears are closer to the top than 533 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: the bottom, and if they can guarantee me they're gonna 534 00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: get some awesome slam dunk franchise order back, then okay, 535 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: you make the move. But if we're gonna go with like, oh, 536 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna bringing Nick Foles in and maybe he can 537 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: beat the guy, then don't waste your time. Go with 538 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: Mitchell Trubisky. If Matthew Stafford's available, okay, then maybe you 539 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: do think about that, But I would expect to see 540 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: Rbisky backs. Chris Simms on loan from NBC Sports. If 541 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: you were going to recede right now, is anything changed 542 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: in the NFC and AFC for you heading into the 543 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: next round of the playoffs. Oh, that's a good question. 544 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: Let me see here. As I just look at that, 545 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think this is what I would 546 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: probably look at right now. I don't think anything's changed 547 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: for me. In the NFC. I think that I would 548 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: probably say, Yeah, I think I would go Green Bay, 549 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: the Saints, the Bucks right there on the edge of 550 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 1: those guys, and the Rams right there in a close 551 00:29:54,880 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: one as well. But in the AFC, you know, Kansas Cities, 552 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: the king But that Bills Baltimore Ravens for number two 553 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,239 Speaker 1: seed or number two spot in the AFC hierarchy right now, 554 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: I think that's very close. I think that's a scary 555 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: matchup for Buffalo for this week. You know, we saw 556 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: what that Colts offensive line did to that Bill's defense. 557 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,239 Speaker 1: The Colts outplayed the Buffalo Bills. The Bills just had 558 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: the best player on the field and Josh Allen and 559 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: that's why they overcame it. But I would be worried 560 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: about that running tack in Lamar Jackson verst Buffalo this week. 561 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: We've talked about this before. I applaud Cleveland for finally 562 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: understanding who they are, and I said, if Stefanski was 563 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: on the sidelines. I would have picked them to beat Pittsburgh. Well, 564 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: as it turned out, they didn't need him on the sidelines. 565 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: The identity that they have can that identity beat Kansas City. 566 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: In Kansas City, I think it can give them a 567 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: tough time. I don't know if their defense is good 568 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: enough to pull through against Kansas City. I do think 569 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: that their offense could be good enough to where they 570 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: can maybe do what we saw the Colts do to 571 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills the other day. Run the ball, keep 572 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: their offense on the field, run out the clock, keep 573 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 1: Mahomes next to the gatorade bottles and everything like that, 574 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: and you got a chance to make the game interesting, certainly. 575 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: But I think it would worry me is more that 576 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 1: Brown's defense. And I know they're gonna be healthy with 577 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 1: some guys being back, but it's not a very good unit, 578 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: and a week off with Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, 579 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: I think that could be scary. What would you do 580 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 1: with DeShawn Watson if you were the GM of the Texans, Well, 581 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: I would never give the DeShawn Watson away for less 582 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: than anything. Just absolutely jaw dropping, unbelievable. I can't say no. 583 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: To that trade offer. Dan. The biggest like perplexing thing 584 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: to me, DeShawn Watson, no doubt, one of the five 585 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: best quarterbacks in the game. You told him going into 586 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 1: this process you were gonna let him have a say 587 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: or at least be in the conversation. And then we 588 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: get to this moment and the guy that he kind 589 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: of vouched for and Eric b enemy, you don't even 590 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: interview him. I don't know what else to say to 591 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: Houston other than that you're just you're stupid. I don't 592 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 1: know what you interview the guy just to say to 593 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: your quarterback, who's the star or your team? Hey, we 594 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: interviewed the guy you talked about. Hey it didn't work out. 595 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: We know, blah blah blah blah blah blah. But you 596 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: do that for just that element alone. And that's what 597 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 1: I don't understand. And they're in a weird spot down 598 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: there right now. Would you trade him to Miami for 599 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: Tuah and let's say you get a couple of first 600 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: round draft picks. It would have to be a lot 601 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 1: of first round draft picks, it would be I don't 602 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: know if I would do that right now. I don't 603 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: know they because Tua to me this, it's still up 604 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: in the air for what Tuah is. You know, I'm 605 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: not sold on. TUA is definitely a franchise. Like we 606 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 1: got our guy for ten years. I'm not sure about 607 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: that yet. I don't mean disrespect to him. I'm rooting 608 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 1: for him, but I think we all saw the same 609 00:32:58,240 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: thing at the end of the year. As a little 610 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: concerning I'm not sure I'm ready to stamp it and 611 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: just go. I like what I saw and he's the 612 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: guy for the future. Thank you, Chris. As always, we 613 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: appreciate your time.

The team went four and twelve. 621 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: That's the highest passer rating ever for a quarterback with 622 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: a team with a sub five hundred record. Stat of 623 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: the Day stat of the Day That past stat of 624 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: the Day stat of the Day here comes that what 625 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 1: stat of the day. If you're the Jets, would you 626 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: call the Texans got can pick of the draft? You 627 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: got Sam Darnold. I don't know if I'm the Jets 628 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: and make a phone call. But you know people have 629 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: put out that, Hey, you know it's a long shot 630 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 1: that Deshaun Watson's gonna get traded. He has a no 631 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: trade clause. No, no, that's for him. He that's if 632 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: he wants out, then he waves his no trade. It's 633 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 1: not that he wants out and the Texans have the 634 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:34,840 Speaker 1: no trade clause. Deshaun Watson owns that, yes, mclen But 635 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: with Deshaun Watson wave it for the Jets with their 636 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: recent I know, I don't know. I'm just saying if 637 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 1: I'm the Jets, what do I do? If I'm the Dolphins, 638 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,880 Speaker 1: what do I do? Are the Dolphins a quarterback away 639 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:52,240 Speaker 1: from being a playoff team? Like that? That's the logic 640 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 1: that I would have right now. We we have and 641 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 1: you know, an abundance of rid Imagine if the Dolphins 642 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 1: traded the third overall pick back to the Texans that 643 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,800 Speaker 1: they got from the Texans, and then you sent Tuah 644 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,839 Speaker 1: sent another first round pick and maybe a future first 645 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,280 Speaker 1: round pick. I don't know like these are the things 646 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: that keep general managers up late at night, but I 647 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: would certainly consider that your phone calls are coming up. 648 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: We got our play of the day as well, including 649 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 1: one of my favorite players in the play of the day, 650 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,880 Speaker 1: a player that I told you he's good back after this. 651 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast.

A triple double for LaMelo Ball. He 662 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 1: is the youngest player in NBA history to record a 663 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 1: triple double. That's courtesy of w f NZ Hornets Radio Network, 664 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,800 Speaker 1: My Hornets and L five and five on the season. 665 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 1: PAULI when LaMelo Ball's career is all said and done 666 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: in the NBA, and if I'm not on this earth, 667 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 1: just make sure that you speak on my behalf when 668 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,680 Speaker 1: he goes into the Basketball Hall of Fame.

You know, this isn't one 674 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 1: of those where you can say nobody believed in me, 675 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: like Baker Mayfield Junior the Third, if he was on today, 676 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 1: I'd say I believed in you.

Oh did I 690 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,839 Speaker 1: hear from my friends because I said, hey, LaMelo ball 691 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,720 Speaker 1: can play. He had as many points in his debut 692 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: as I did, and he's played pretty well. He's fun 693 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,440 Speaker 1: to watch.

All right, we have our poll question, right McLevin. Yeah, 700 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,719 Speaker 1: which fan base should be most disappointed? We have an 701 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,480 Speaker 1: early front runner. Pittsburgh fans are not happy. Yeah, we'll 702 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,719 Speaker 1: check in with Ed Bouchett has been covering this team 703 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,120 Speaker 1: since nineteen eighty five. It felt like the beginning of 704 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 1: the end or the end of the end for the 705 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers as we know it, and that starts with 706 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:37,800 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger. Because they do have a young nucleus and 707 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 1: you know that defense. You know they lost Dupree and Bush, 708 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 1: you know that's still a really good defense. T J. 709 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,840 Speaker 1: Watt should finish runner up for Defensive Player of the 710 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 1: Year to Aaron Donald. And offensively, you have some skills. 711 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:56,240 Speaker 1: Claypool turned out to be very good. Juju Smith Schuster 712 00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:00,120 Speaker 1: stopped being a social influencer and just play football. Are 713 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 1: you satisfied with your running game with you know, James Connor, Yeah, mccleve. 714 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,359 Speaker 1: You know what hurt them? Their best receiver, Deontay Johnson. Yeah, 715 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: I mean they're He's like they're Antonio Brown little slack eye. 716 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 1: He just lost his confidence. You remember he had like 717 00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,239 Speaker 1: four drops in that one game. Yeah, you saw that 718 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 1: over the weekend. These are playoff teams. There were a 719 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 1: lot of drops. Chris Godwin, I think he dropped five, Yeah, 720 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,239 Speaker 1: Paul and Dante Johnson. I think he was the guy 721 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 1: the ball went off his hands in the first quarter 722 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 1: with the first pick by the Browns. Yeah, I think 723 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: you're running. The Steelers this year averaged eighty four yards 724 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 1: rushing per game in the regular season, fourth lowest in 725 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:41,319 Speaker 1: franchise history, first time in their history that they made 726 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: the playoffs while averaging less than one hundred yards rushing 727 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,400 Speaker 1: per game. And I think as you move forward, I 728 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,359 Speaker 1: don't want to make Ben one dimensional. If Ben comes back, 729 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:54,239 Speaker 1: I don't want him one dimensional. Yeah, you're seeing the 730 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 1: value of play action that at least I have to 731 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 1: think that I have to honor that. And with this Steelers, 732 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 1: I don't think you had to honor it. I don't 733 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,080 Speaker 1: think you had to worry about it. James Connor or 734 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,440 Speaker 1: whoever was running was not going to hurt us. If 735 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 1: you were getting chunks, they were going to be three 736 00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 1: and four yards no long you know, big breakout runs 737 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 1: Here Joe and Ohio leads this off best and worst 738 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:21,440 Speaker 1: of the weekend. Hi Joe, Hi Dan. I only got 739 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,200 Speaker 1: one best, and I think we know what that's gonna be. 740 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,439 Speaker 1: I've called in a few times the past five six years, 741 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,080 Speaker 1: and it's always been negative Browns. I've been called from 742 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 1: Japan to complain about the Brown But today, but today 743 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 1: is one of the best days of my sports life. 744 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,520 Speaker 1: I've never seen a Brown to win. I mean, I 745 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 1: was two years old, but that doesn't count. And to 746 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 1: take down the evil empire of the Steelers who bullied me, 747 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:52,560 Speaker 1: my whole life and after the juju comments, Hey, Joe, 748 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 1: was the first hour of the game last night the 749 00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:01,839 Speaker 1: best hour of your life?

Even if you had kids and 752 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 1: you were married, that still might be the best. Oh yeah, 753 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:20,360 Speaker 1: I agree. It was my entire life, like what twenty 754 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:22,520 Speaker 1: six years and when I was two years old, you know, 755 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,840 Speaker 1: so I don't remember that well. And I'm from Youngstown 756 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,960 Speaker 1: and they're all Steelers fans there and I hate my friends, 757 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,359 Speaker 1: so it felt pretty good.

Dan, 762 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 1: I've got a best and worst related gift for Poorly. 763 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,720 Speaker 1: But first of all, just wanted to say I realize 764 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 1: it's tough times in the United States at the moment. 765 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,360 Speaker 1: It's not easy to just literally know that people around 766 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,640 Speaker 1: the world, our hearts are for you and we're praying 767 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,879 Speaker 1: for you guys that it goes well. Thank you, John, 768 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,520 Speaker 1: So my worst of the weekend, I think I've said 769 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,360 Speaker 1: it to you before the first time I called in 770 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,480 Speaker 1: some years ago, is the tackling in the NFL. Gee 771 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:21,080 Speaker 1: it's bad to see these incredible athletes and their tackling 772 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,200 Speaker 1: technique is so poor. There was a guy who tried 773 00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,680 Speaker 1: to take Lamar Jackson, not just before he scored his touchdown, 774 00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:31,279 Speaker 1: and he got hands in him five five yards up 775 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 1: and he didn't drive through, he didn't wrap, he didn't 776 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:36,839 Speaker 1: he didn't take his legs into touch. You just try 777 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,240 Speaker 1: to push him. It was but that's just one example 778 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:43,239 Speaker 1: of many. The best of the weekend, in fact, the 779 00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,759 Speaker 1: best of the sort of holiday season was showing my 780 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:52,160 Speaker 1: fifteen year old Hoosies. And we've been working through some 781 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,320 Speaker 1: classic movies that have been showing him, you know, The 782 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:58,840 Speaker 1: Guide Fire, The Point Break and other ones, and he 783 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,719 Speaker 1: was captivated by Hoosias. And if it was possible for 784 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 1: Dan Petchers to climb even higher in his estimation when 785 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:07,880 Speaker 1: I said that you thought highly of this and the 786 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,240 Speaker 1: gust toot this is one of the best sports movies 787 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,719 Speaker 1: ever heat the number of times he's set up from 788 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,080 Speaker 1: the couch because he like the flow. And then it 789 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,719 Speaker 1: was great to see Thank you, John, Thanks for the 790 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,879 Speaker 1: phone call. Always great to hear from you.
