Speaker 1: You're telling you try to get a team that has
Speaker 1: two stars or two superstars in this scape, as Lebron
Speaker 1: and Ad can sometimes cancer as other out. But I
Speaker 1: think they're both good candidates cramby teams. I really like
Speaker 1: the way that this team just feels to be around
Speaker 1: the It's a it's a very clear message. It's just
Speaker 1: two stars and Lebron and a D and it's everybody
Speaker 1: else that's on board. It's the relationship that is developing
Speaker 1: between those two off the court and on the court.
Speaker 1: They're cohesiveness on the court. I think in this case,
Speaker 1: this is a special case that the two of them
Speaker 1: will enhance each other as opposed to taking away from

Speaker 1: in my bed, you need to be pretty happy. It
Speaker 1: is a Stan Patrick Hour two on this Wednesday, Dan
Speaker 1: and the Danas Stan Patrick Show. I just got a
Speaker 1: squall alert on my phone. A snow squall. What does
Speaker 1: it mean? I get high winds and sideways snow. Yeah.
Speaker 1: We got this about two weeks ago in the tri
Speaker 1: state New England area, and it was just basically a
Speaker 1: huge snowstorm that hit rapidly and stopped rapidly, and it
Speaker 1: was whiteout conditions. We got it about two weeks ago.
Speaker 1: What constitutes a squall checking Okay, a sudden intense storm MC.
Speaker 1: Look at that. I got caught in that squall, by
Speaker 1: the way, two weeks ago, I was in a car
Speaker 1: and it came fast and curious. It's the wind, right,
Speaker 1: that's different? Well justin Yeah, the wind comes in pretty
Speaker 1: hard and then brings the snow with it, so instead
Speaker 1: of snow just falling kind of harmlessly, it's kind of
Speaker 1: it's a whiteout. Yes, by the shout out to our
Speaker 1: great station and anchors. The sports squall. They play a
Speaker 1: lot of squallid oats. Oh okay. A squall is a sudden,
Speaker 1: violent gust of wind or a localized storm, one bringing rain, snow,
Speaker 1: or sleet. Oh good, okay, so you can have a
Speaker 1: rain squall, none of that stopping the postal service, by
Speaker 1: the way, they run right through the whole thing. Boom.
Speaker 1: What's the worst weather you ever delivered mail in? Probably rain, rainer, snow,
Speaker 1: I don't know. They were like blizzards and stuff that
Speaker 1: kind of stunk. Did you bring dog treats with you? Hack? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Every day, loaded up with him and then as soon
Speaker 1: as the dogs started barking, you just throw a couple
Speaker 1: of biscuits over him. Before long they stopped barking. Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: how did you keep your cigarettes lit in the rain
Speaker 1: when it was a copy But you know what those
Speaker 1: hoods they had. They're they're pretty wide berths. You just
Speaker 1: neck a couple of heaters that little box truck. I
Speaker 1: saw this quote from Roy Williams. Roy Williams, of course,
Speaker 1: the great Hall of Fame coach at North Carolina, and
Speaker 1: I actually thought of the danas here, but follow me
Speaker 1: on this because he had a comment on his North
Speaker 1: Carolina basketball team this year. He called his North Carolina
Speaker 1: team the least gifted I've ever coached. Now, the reason
Speaker 1: why I thought of this is, you know, this isn't
Speaker 1: a compliment obviously, but when we had a former member
Speaker 1: of management who said you guys were solid and improving.
Speaker 1: And so when I saw this, like I thought Roy Williams, Like,
Speaker 1: what else was he going to say? If he didn't
Speaker 1: say this is the least gifted team I've ever coached,
Speaker 1: I could he have said they're you know, they're solid
Speaker 1: and improving because when management said that to me, and
Speaker 1: it was hard to stand up for management when they
Speaker 1: called you guys solid and improving. But I said, focus
Speaker 1: on the solid part of it or the improving part
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, point isn't Roy Williams indicting himself and
Speaker 1: his recruiting staff because he chose the talent that's on
Speaker 1: the team could be to some level. Yeah, yes, it's
Speaker 1: compared to you. It's just stuck with us. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: that's when I was I was disappointed in management when
Speaker 1: they said that, because I'm like solid and improving. You know,
Speaker 1: it's it's better than not stot shaky and getting worse. No, I,
Speaker 1: as I said before, you guys aren't the best at
Speaker 1: your jobs. You're the best at your job for the
Speaker 1: show like it works with what you do and how
Speaker 1: you do it. Um, it's like Springsteen's band. I don't
Speaker 1: think they're all the best musicians, but in that band,
Speaker 1: they make the band great. And I'm not the best
Speaker 1: at what I do, so but when we do it
Speaker 1: together then it works somehow. Someway Now, Roy Williams said
Speaker 1: that team was probably happy today. Instead they're all going
Speaker 1: to transfer Emzy say no, they're not that down. Oh yes,
Speaker 1: just put a plan out eas Street band hall of famers, Yes,
Speaker 1: and so were we on that out there? Yeah? The
Speaker 1: band is a hall of fame, not individually now, yes,
Speaker 1: but is that the squall squalor? Okay, who wants to
Speaker 1: go outside? I got all right, go out there no
Speaker 1: squaw warning till ten four five am. Sudden white outs,
Speaker 1: icy roads, slow down please, by the way, we just
Speaker 1: got a five minute heads up Paul from you. You
Speaker 1: would have been you would be five minutes later. Then
Speaker 1: my phone run off five minutes ago. My phone's not soft.
Speaker 1: My phone doesn't care about the squad. They know that
Speaker 1: I drive a prettiest and you have a Paul. Polly's
Speaker 1: got that super Doppler radar on his phone. There, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll check thee Yeah, go out and go out and
Speaker 1: check the squall, the winter squall. Here, the sports squall.
Speaker 1: It's like the radio they finally run out of radio
Speaker 1: station names. That's the sports Squall. There's Polly going outside
Speaker 1: opening the door and Sonny, that's look, that's what I
Speaker 1: read in the squall the other day. It was perfectly
Speaker 1: stunnied and boom, it hit like it hit like a squall. Okay,
Speaker 1: any checking out? Oh Pauli's lucky to be alive after
Speaker 1: what it looked like out there. Oh my gosh, man,
Speaker 1: are you okay? Eat it? Jim Canty. I just went
Speaker 1: in the mouth of the lion. It looked like a kitten.
Speaker 1: It's like forty degrees and completely counted. There's not even
Speaker 1: a hint of wind. Maybe we're in the eye of
Speaker 1: the hurricane right now. We don't even know it's going up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Jim Cantarget, eat it all right, welcome to the program
Speaker 1: already in progress. If you can tell I don't know.
Speaker 1: Would you be bothered by this if you're the Carolina
Speaker 1: Panthers owner that Matt Rule reportedly called the Giants before
Speaker 1: taking the Panthers Joe. So the Giants thought they were
Speaker 1: getting Matt Rule, and Matt Rule got everything he wanted
Speaker 1: from Carolina and then reached out to the Giants. The
Speaker 1: Giants told Matt Rule that they still wanted him to
Speaker 1: come in for an interview, also informed him of another
Speaker 1: candidate was seriously in the running for the head coaching job,
Speaker 1: and at that point Rule was compelled to take the
Speaker 1: offer from the Panthers and their owner, David Tepper. It's
Speaker 1: reportedly seven years worth up to seventy million dollars Cleveland.
Speaker 1: Brown's still looking for a head coach and a GM,
Speaker 1: but it looks like they're gonna hire the coach before
Speaker 1: the GM. And what are we talking about here? Josh
Speaker 1: McDaniels with the Patriots or Kevin Stefanski, Is that right?
Speaker 1: Nickles sound like it. Boots is, by the way, the
Speaker 1: same as like, it's like a Pat Schurmer hire. Kevin's
Speaker 1: an anonymous offensive quarter it's the Fancy's a OC for
Speaker 1: the Vikings, a quarterback coach under Schremer. Yeah, but it's
Speaker 1: funny because Stefans he's really tight with Pat Schremer and
Speaker 1: Brad Children's, both of who were I think fired by
Speaker 1: the Browns in recent years. So the Browns are turning
Speaker 1: to a lot of dudes. How many coaches have the
Speaker 1: Browns had under this ownership the Hassles have They had
Speaker 1: like nine head coaches here, Yeah, Paul Kitchens, Hugh Jackson,
Speaker 1: Mike Petten, Chazinsky, Schermer, Mangini, Krnell. That's about it. That's
Speaker 1: from two thousand and five on Okay, they stuck with
Speaker 1: Krinal for a few years. Yeah, that's about it. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: mcle so the guy there, Paul de Podessa, the Jonah
Speaker 1: Hill character and money Ball who's kind of running the show.
Speaker 1: He wanted to Fancy last year and he wanted McDermott, right,
Speaker 1: So he's he's supposed to be the brains behind that.
Speaker 1: They should have listened to because even one of those
Speaker 1: would have been obviously a better higher than Freddie Kitchens. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, and then there's reports like Mary, you know
Speaker 1: that a lot of people they are like McDaniels. The
Speaker 1: reports are between those guys, which means they'll probably something completely.
Speaker 1: But then this, this is what happens when when you
Speaker 1: have a situation like this where they like two candidates,
Speaker 1: and this happened last year with Stefanski. So you have this,
Speaker 1: you know, this analytics genius and Paul de Podesco's who says,
Speaker 1: you know, I want Stefanski, and then they, I think
Speaker 1: ownership came in and said we're going to promote Freddie Kitchens.
Speaker 1: That might be the same situation you have here is
Speaker 1: you have a guy who says this is the guy
Speaker 1: we want. You didn't listen to me last time, listen
Speaker 1: to me this time, will they? And maybe ownership comes
Speaker 1: in and says we want, you know, maybe a shinier
Speaker 1: object here in Josh McDaniels club, there are a lot
Speaker 1: of coaching stories talk about analytics and that the coach
Speaker 1: has to be opened to analytics and the interviewed do
Speaker 1: you think this is a big part of this hiring process,
Speaker 1: who will accept analytics or well, it's one thing to
Speaker 1: accept it. It felt like Mike McCarthy and I'm not
Speaker 1: I don't want to use word desperate, but I think
Speaker 1: he realized if I'm going to get back in, I
Speaker 1: think I gotta be a little bit more welcoming with analytics.
Speaker 1: And to what degree I don't know, because Ron Rivera
Speaker 1: strikes me as a guy who's not into analytics. I
Speaker 1: don't know how much Belichick's into analytics or Josh McDaniels
Speaker 1: is into analytics, but it feels like, you know that
Speaker 1: you better be in before you're left behind. And we're
Speaker 1: looking at analytics in basketball and the role that analytics
Speaker 1: plays there, the analytics in baseball, So what's happening with
Speaker 1: the NFL. It should happen with the NFL. The question
Speaker 1: is how much of the analytics do you buy into
Speaker 1: and say that's that's what's gonna guide us, you know
Speaker 1: in dark times. Yeah, mc either Ravens are supposed to
Speaker 1: be a huge analytics team, like at the Forefront, and
Speaker 1: that's why they they've found Lamar's accent. Yeah. One thing
Speaker 1: I don't understand about analytics in the NFL I guess
Speaker 1: the same as baseball. If a certain team, Let's say
Speaker 1: the Browns have analytics of what they should do on
Speaker 1: third down, when the team that they're facing have the
Speaker 1: exact same analytics about the Browns on what they should
Speaker 1: do on third down. If you have a good analytics department,
Speaker 1: you think they would cancel each other out like the
Speaker 1: odds are is. Let's say the Browns analytics tell them
Speaker 1: that never do anything but quarterbacks sneak on fourth and
Speaker 1: one because the analytics say everything else is bad. Now
Speaker 1: the other team should know that that's all they're gonna
Speaker 1: do and can load up. But we we only hear
Speaker 1: about offensive numbers. When it comes to analytics. It's it's
Speaker 1: rat I think you. I think you've find defensive analytics
Speaker 1: in baseball, but you find offensive numbers for basketball with
Speaker 1: analytics and with football, it seems like it's offensive minded
Speaker 1: you on time. You also have to have the players
Speaker 1: to pull it off. It's one thing to say that
Speaker 1: it says you should go for it on fourth and two,
Speaker 1: but it's not that simple. Maybe you don't have the
Speaker 1: players that can get it on fourth and two like
Speaker 1: some other teams. You can't just punch it into a computer.
Speaker 1: There's like so many other things involving the stats of it. Yes,
Speaker 1: my favorite part is bad stats like tackles are a
Speaker 1: bad stat. Yeah, but you can't go my tackle. I
Speaker 1: love that. That's the best. The more tackles you have,
Speaker 1: it means the other team has the ball more, you
Speaker 1: have more offensive type. So if you have one hundred tackles,
Speaker 1: that means the other team got every first down and
Speaker 1: you kept tackling. It doesn't say if it's a one
Speaker 1: yeard tackle or an eight yard tackle. So it's a
Speaker 1: terrible stack. You know what I'm gonna guess the Buffalo
Speaker 1: Bills would like to have one more tackle then they
Speaker 1: had in that game against the Texans. I would have
Speaker 1: been a tack Well still, you have to tackle somebody
Speaker 1: to sack them. But it's a tub another the bad
Speaker 1: teams and the have the bid most tackles. Yes, but
Speaker 1: doesn't it mean that your offense thinks so that your
Speaker 1: your offense is keeping the defense on the field more
Speaker 1: like it doesn't get kind of work both ways, a
Speaker 1: team with a lot of tackles, their defense has a
Speaker 1: lot of tackles, it means they actually have a bad offense,
Speaker 1: not a bad defense mclovin. Well, I could, but if
Speaker 1: your defense is bad too, you keep on lading at
Speaker 1: first downs, like if if you guy gets first out,
Speaker 1: like what came first? Yeah, the team that has all
Speaker 1: the tackles or the team that has a bad offense. Well,
Speaker 1: it could be either whatever whatever reason. The usually in
Speaker 1: time of possession. But bad defense will definitely lead to
Speaker 1: a lot of tacks. Yes, the other team will never
Speaker 1: get off the field. Okay, how about this stat leading
Speaker 1: the league in passing yardage? Is that a quality stat? Well?
Speaker 1: I think it used to be that that meant you
Speaker 1: were behind, so you threw the ball more. Now it
Speaker 1: feels like if you're throwing the ball, then you're you're
Speaker 1: kind of dictating the flow of the game. Yeah. Can
Speaker 1: you guess who led the NFL and passing yardist this year?
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Winston had fifty one hundred
Speaker 1: yards Hell, yes, twenty five hundred one team. Well, no offense. Yes,
Speaker 1: but if you have a lot of tackles, any team
Speaker 1: wouldn't you would have If the team would, you would
Speaker 1: be tackling less. Actually, if you had a bad defense,
Speaker 1: you would be tackling people less. That's why your defense
Speaker 1: is bad. So people would be going down the field
Speaker 1: and scoring more because you can't tackle anybody. That's why
Speaker 1: your defense. Your defense is bad because you can't tackle anyone. Okay, mclovin,
Speaker 1: would you camp? My head exploded there. So you have
Speaker 1: the eighty five Bears. No, you have a great defense.
Speaker 1: The other offense gets three snaps. You have the Cincinnati Bengals,
Speaker 1: worst defense in history. The other team, per drive gets
Speaker 1: fourteen plays. The Saints would go like fourteen plays. So
Speaker 1: the bad defense has let four team plays are drive
Speaker 1: the good defense. So a lot of tackles is bad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't want a lot. Okay, give me the defensive analytics.
Speaker 1: That all efficiency, like how how much to you how
Speaker 1: much you're shutting down the other offense? Like how quickly
Speaker 1: are getting them off the field? The third down conversion,
Speaker 1: now that is become a coin yard. You know who
Speaker 1: Warren Sharp is like the fourth right, Apparently a third
Speaker 1: down it's the most overrated stat and I'll tell you
Speaker 1: why because it doesn't tell you what the team did
Speaker 1: on first and second down. So third and one, if
Speaker 1: you have a lot of third downs, you're already in
Speaker 1: trouble because you have to get the first down on
Speaker 1: first and second, and so a lot of teams wait, wait, wait, wait, yeah,
Speaker 1: third down. That didn't clear anything up for me. Third
Speaker 1: down is an almost a useless down to third down
Speaker 1: conversion though, right, But do you know if you're facing
Speaker 1: a lot of third and eights or a lot of
Speaker 1: third and one, it doesn't matter. Did you convert? It
Speaker 1: does matter because the third and eight is way harder
Speaker 1: to convert. So, but but if if you don't convert them,
Speaker 1: the drive ends, right, it does, But it's just a
Speaker 1: it's a it's a deceiving stat. It doesn't tell you
Speaker 1: much if you don't know what they did on first
Speaker 1: and seconds. I'd like to apologize to the audience. I
Speaker 1: cannot give you those lives. I'll show you. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you five articles from five to thirty eight explaining all this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: dates silver side, It's it's much more complicated than we're
Speaker 1: making it. Okay. I just don't know what is the
Speaker 1: right stat anymore. Red zone efficiency, final score, final score
Speaker 1: is really important. I think Tom Brady had a lengthy
Speaker 1: instagram this morning that actually nearly blindsided this show, Tom
Speaker 1: saying that he i guess after a lengthy sort of
Speaker 1: exit thank you, is saying that he is coming back,
Speaker 1: but with the Patriots. It appears with the Patriots, this
Speaker 1: feels like this is shots fired, Like I'm gonna put
Speaker 1: it out there, fan base. This is on Bill Belichick.
Speaker 1: I want to be there. I want to I want
Speaker 1: I want to be your quarterback. I want to continue
Speaker 1: to play. We're gonna get better and we're gonna get healthier,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna leave you to the Promised Land again.
Speaker 1: This is I'm gonna volley across to Belichick. It's Brady
Speaker 1: playing doubles against Belichick and Craft right now, Brady singular
Speaker 1: against those two. Yes, for expect what we're saying the
Speaker 1: other day is laying the groundworks, or it doesn't look
Speaker 1: like the bad guys like, Hey, I was all in
Speaker 1: and wanting to be back here. It's all Therefore, I'll
Speaker 1: talk to the coach and the owner. I was ready
Speaker 1: for another season with the Ringla. What do you want
Speaker 1: from me? It makes total sense here he says that
Speaker 1: he knows he still has more to prove. No, he doesn't.
Speaker 1: Jared Goff has a little more to prove, you know,
Speaker 1: someone like that, there's like Baker Mayfield has a lot
Speaker 1: more to prove. Tom Brady doesn't have anything else to prove. Yes,
Speaker 1: it could be this awesome chess match that you guys
Speaker 1: are describing right now between Tom Brady and Bill Belichick.
Speaker 1: When's it's like really really great? Or couldn't he just
Speaker 1: be trying to end all the speculation and be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm back, but it's not his decision. Like I assume
Speaker 1: he wants to come back. I think in his mind
Speaker 1: he might be saying, I'm gonna say this even though
Speaker 1: I know that I'm not going to be back, but
Speaker 1: I want to. I want these fans to know, like
Speaker 1: he's thanking you for the last twenty years. Why am
Speaker 1: I thanking you for twenty years? No, that doesn't doesn't
Speaker 1: make sense. I think with hey, thank you for the
Speaker 1: twenty years where you supported me, and I'm planning on
Speaker 1: coming back and playing for the Patriots. I don't have
Speaker 1: to thank you for twenty years. It's just we've been
Speaker 1: in it together and will continue to be in it together,
Speaker 1: and I'm back and I want to be your quarterback.
Speaker 1: Deep down, he might be thinking, I don't know if
Speaker 1: they're going to buy this stuff, But you know, let
Speaker 1: me throw it out there, Giselle. How do you think
Speaker 1: I look in Charger powder blue? Oh, Tommy, you look beautiful. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: keep asking the Boston reaction. If Jimmy Garoppolo in four
Speaker 1: weeks as a Super Bowl champion, I mean it's a possibility,
Speaker 1: not a likelihood, it's a possibility. I still would have
Speaker 1: made that decision. I just would have gotten more for
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo that And if you're going to send him,
Speaker 1: you sent him to the NFC, and Belichick it felt
Speaker 1: like was almost going to hold his hand and lead
Speaker 1: him out to San Francisco. They were going to do
Speaker 1: a road trip where he's going to drive him out
Speaker 1: to San Francisco. But you put him far far away.
Speaker 1: And Brady took you to this a couple of year,
Speaker 1: won a couple of Super Bowls with him after that,
Speaker 1: And do I think that you know, it probably came Hey,
Speaker 1: it's either him or me, and Robert Kraft made the
Speaker 1: ultimate decision to keep tom and Belichick then made sure
Speaker 1: that Jimmy Garoppolo got traded to somebody that he trusted.
Speaker 1: And Kyle Shanahan, all right, we'll take a break here.
Speaker 1: We talked about Brady new and there's a few things
Speaker 1: to talk about here. I got a couple of great
Speaker 1: staffs of the day that's even surprised me. Nineteen after

Speaker 1: What do you have proof now of tackles being overrated
Speaker 1: in the NFL? The numbers worked out? Okay? I gave
Speaker 1: you the top five tacklers and their team defensive rank. Okay,
Speaker 1: and just run down a real quick because yeah, Bobby
Speaker 1: Wagner number one, he's a great linebacker. But the Seahawks
Speaker 1: ranked twenty six is here in defense? Their defense really
Speaker 1: fell off and they're on the field. Ill imagine if
Speaker 1: he didn't make all those tackles. Zoom got you. Yeah, Bully,
Speaker 1: If you're high up on the list of tackles in NFL,
Speaker 1: does that mean you're a very good player on an
Speaker 1: average defense almost by default? Well, because you're doing all
Speaker 1: the work. Three and four are both Arizona Cardinals and
Speaker 1: they have the worst defense in the league. The reason
Speaker 1: is the Cardinals play a high tempo, so there's a
Speaker 1: lot of plays and your defense out there all the time,
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a million tackles. Okay, but yeah, Bobby
Speaker 1: Wagner is probably going to the Whole of Fame, But
Speaker 1: we never know at the end of the year who
Speaker 1: leads to lead tackles. That's not a stat we ever
Speaker 1: talk about. But Luke Keikley is on that list. He's
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer. So yeah, they're they're definitely. What
Speaker 1: it might be a better stat is what pretending to
Speaker 1: your team's tackles? Did you have? Speaking of tackles, you
Speaker 1: know Hall of Fame, we have the finalists. Do we
Speaker 1: have a fifteen names for the Whole of Fame? Oh?
Speaker 1: I saw that recently. Yeah, it just came out right.
Speaker 1: Do you have that? Can you find that? Because you know,
Speaker 1: I always champion the offensive lineman. And you know there's
Speaker 1: a name that I there's a couple of names that
Speaker 1: I bring up, and I think both are on the
Speaker 1: final fifteen. If you can check that for me, mclovin, Todd,
Speaker 1: you have it looking to right now. I see Troy Palamalu,
Speaker 1: Reggie Wayne John Lynch, Steve Attwater, Vasselli, Isaac Bruce, Leroy Butler,
Speaker 1: Tory Holt, Steve Hutchinson, Alan Fanaka, Edrin James, Sam Mills,
Speaker 1: Richard Seymour, Zach Thomas, Bryant Young. Because man, you got
Speaker 1: a couple of linemen on there. You know, Fanica might
Speaker 1: get in there before you know. Tony Vasselli has been nominated,
Speaker 1: and m you know, I just know the eye test
Speaker 1: when I saw miss Elli play, he was special. Jimbo
Speaker 1: Covert to me with the Chicago Bears was special. H
Speaker 1: just different athletic, you know, not big plotting lineman. Steve
Speaker 1: Hutchinson's he was great too. But I always try to
Speaker 1: champion the offensive lineman because you know, you're trying to
Speaker 1: figure out like what what stats do you have? You know,
Speaker 1: how many sacks did you give up? Or how many
Speaker 1: holding penalties did you have? That's that's about it? Or
Speaker 1: how many thousand yard rushers did you have behind you?
Speaker 1: But Jimbo Covert, Tony Bischlly, I hope they get that opportunity. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Polly Tory Holt wide receiver, Isaac Bruce wide receiver. Mostly
Speaker 1: with the Rams with their heydays, they might cancel each
Speaker 1: other out. I don't know. You almost wish that that
Speaker 1: RAMS team could go in as a group like a band,
Speaker 1: Like it's a Hall of Fame if you can almost
Speaker 1: do a display on the greatest one of the great
Speaker 1: offensive teams all time and put the entire RAMS offense
Speaker 1: in as some type of group award. I know they
Speaker 1: don't do that, but it feels like a slight not
Speaker 1: to have them in there. Something. Have they changed the
Speaker 1: process mcloven with the Hall of Fame. But isn't there
Speaker 1: some like big class this year that everybody's gonna get
Speaker 1: Remember we said Taglie Booze is gonna get in this
Speaker 1: year because of some extra class. I'll find out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like more guys who miss it the first time around
Speaker 1: get a shot. I don't know why. No, the process
Speaker 1: of telling you how you got in the Hall of Fame. Oh,
Speaker 1: that stage. I thought, I knock on the door from
Speaker 1: that big guy who runs the Hall of Fame. But
Speaker 1: but why so they have everybody in the room, I believe,
Speaker 1: and that I just think it's unfair. It's painful that
Speaker 1: you go, they knock on the door and then they
Speaker 1: say you're in, and you're in, and you're in and
Speaker 1: you're in, and the rest of you aren't. Like why
Speaker 1: does it have to be almost humiliating if you don't
Speaker 1: make it hold. I can't imagine what that would be
Speaker 1: like if you don't get the call, you don't get
Speaker 1: a knock on the door, and you're just sitting there
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you disperse and everybody's
Speaker 1: like guy, and then they walk right out right onto
Speaker 1: the stage. I think the NFL network and ritualizes and
Speaker 1: interviews them. Yeah, Polly. The Hall of Fame Board recently
Speaker 1: passed the resolution that suspended the Hall of Fame's Selection
Speaker 1: Committee by laws for the class of twenty two twenty
Speaker 1: twenty just this summer. The measures attended to on of
Speaker 1: the NFL's centennial celebration through a special centennial class that
Speaker 1: would comprise of twenty members in twenty twenty five, modern
Speaker 1: era players and ten senior players, three contributors and two coaches.
Speaker 1: It's like they're gonna do a one time correction this summer.
Speaker 1: So this is going to be the biggest class by
Speaker 1: far in history. There will be twenty people this summer. Mandatory. Yes, oh, Fred,
Speaker 1: as he always is, And I wanted to help us
Speaker 1: out with us, Rich, thanks for joining us. Are they
Speaker 1: still doing that painful process of how they informed these
Speaker 1: guys that they're in or not? Well, what he used
Speaker 1: to be was totally unorganized, where players they knew they
Speaker 1: were finalists, but they didn't have a place to be.
Speaker 1: Like literally, the year Warren Moon was getting in, he
Speaker 1: would be driving around the circumference of the city that
Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl that he knew he had a
Speaker 1: shot to get in, and he told me that he
Speaker 1: was either going to head to the convention center where
Speaker 1: he heard his name called, or head to the airport.
Speaker 1: So now they had like a luncheon for finalists and
Speaker 1: they sit in a hotel room with their loved ones
Speaker 1: and wait for knock on the door that either comes
Speaker 1: or a dozen Yeah that might be worse, Rich, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm telling you some guys wouldn't even like
Speaker 1: Harry Carson didn't make it. How many times you remember
Speaker 1: he told me to take him out of consideration. The
Speaker 1: year he got in, he said, screw it, I'm not
Speaker 1: even gonna be at the super Bowl. I'm flying to Hawaii.
Speaker 1: He landed at Baggat's claim, turned on his phone. It's
Speaker 1: like you have ninety messages, and he turned around and
Speaker 1: went back. And he's in all of fame now. He's
Speaker 1: actually I told him last year. He didn't realize he's
Speaker 1: now been in the Hall of Fame longer than he
Speaker 1: had to wait, you know. But but this year, because
Speaker 1: it's a class of twenty twenty, they're gonna have a
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a special group, a blue ribbon panel
Speaker 1: of experts vote on people that aren't in the class
Speaker 1: that you just mentioned, the group that you just mentioned,
Speaker 1: the normal, if you will, conventional group where they're gonna
Speaker 1: I don't know the exact number, like eight, you know, veterans,
Speaker 1: committee people and three coaches, two contributors. I might be
Speaker 1: screwing up the numbers. But they're going to create a
Speaker 1: class of twenty for twenty twenty, and I just don't
Speaker 1: know personally. This is more personal in a way than
Speaker 1: professional and personal to get a I don't know if
Speaker 1: there's gonna be twenty speeches on one weekend like speech.
Speaker 1: We just cut off Rich's speech. Maybe he was making
Speaker 1: a point about brevity at the at the Hall of Fame. God,
Speaker 1: I couldn't imagine if you had twenty speeches that because
Speaker 1: I remember watching last Where was I I think I
Speaker 1: was at I was at a hoodie in the blowfish concert.
Speaker 1: Concerts started and I came back and the speeches were
Speaker 1: still going on, and I think they'd only done like
Speaker 1: two speech it was. It was a ninety minute concert.
Speaker 1: I came back and you'd had like two of them
Speaker 1: that they'd finished up. I gotta give you like five minutes,
Speaker 1: seven minutes, eight minutes. Rich Eisen is back with us.
Speaker 1: And as you were saying, I don't know, I don't
Speaker 1: know why I lost ship, but there they don't. I
Speaker 1: think they might have like two different induction ceremonies this weekend.
Speaker 1: One that's the conventional one and the one that for
Speaker 1: the other class that's going to make it a bigger
Speaker 1: class for twenty twenty. Is there? What's going on? Are
Speaker 1: they told how long they can go? You know, yeah,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, but nobody used to. That's correct. It used
Speaker 1: to be. It used to be. The worst speeches when
Speaker 1: you're sitting there you'd hold your breath is when somebody
Speaker 1: guts up, goes up there and says, I have no notes.
Speaker 1: The worst one. Now now it's all written, it's all
Speaker 1: in a prompter, and it goes on absolutely forever. They
Speaker 1: used to they used to, you know, the as you remember,
Speaker 1: they used to have the presenters gift speeches too. Oh
Speaker 1: but that that ended the year where Steve Young's dad
Speaker 1: grit thought up and wound up speaking longer than Steve
Speaker 1: did because he had a Jordan esque lift of all
Speaker 1: the people who slighted his son throughout his life and
Speaker 1: went right down one by one. And then later on
Speaker 1: after they said that you need to type up your
Speaker 1: speeches and speak if you're a presenter, Ted Cantrelle went
Speaker 1: on forever one year introducing Bruce Smith. But the worst
Speaker 1: one for me was that was a year I was
Speaker 1: the actual MC of the event because Berman introduced Ralph Wilson,
Speaker 1: and they said you can't MCY and be a presenter,
Speaker 1: so I AMC the event and that's when bullet Bob
Speaker 1: Hayes went in, and that's also when Derek Thomas went in.
Speaker 1: And the rule was the presenter could only speak for
Speaker 1: five minutes because they were, you know, introducing somebody who
Speaker 1: was deceased. So Bullet Bob Hayes was introduced by Roger Stouback,
Speaker 1: the Navy man, went five minutes on the dot, and
Speaker 1: then Carl Peterson, the longtime GM of Kansas City, introduced
Speaker 1: Derreck Thomas with a quarter of a twenty minute speech
Speaker 1: that went on so long I was able to get
Speaker 1: up from the stage to go backstage to ask the
Speaker 1: hall what I should do. At which point, as I
Speaker 1: He'll turn to go back on the stage, I found
Speaker 1: Roger Stoback staring me down, saying, hey, Rich, I thought
Speaker 1: you're supposed to only speak for five minutes, and he's
Speaker 1: going on for four times a row, At which point
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, the six year old who watched
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys football games in my Staten Island basement is
Speaker 1: flipping out that roof talking to me and my check
Speaker 1: and my current self was like, oh my god, Roger
Speaker 1: Stoback is bitching me out. Hey, the history of the speeches,
Speaker 1: all right, Hey, thanks for calling in all right, let's
Speaker 1: Rich Rich Eyesen show follows this show on Direct TV
Speaker 1: Audience Ober Channels two thirty nine solid appearance. Two appearances
Speaker 1: there for Rich. That counts as two when his phone
Speaker 1: went bat. Two bookings there, Frincy, Well done, Todd. DK
Speaker 1: Metcalf for the Seahawks will be joining us coming up
Speaker 1: next time, and we will not take off our shirts
Speaker 1: as a tribute to DK Metcalf. Would you ever wear
Speaker 1: a shirt if you if you didn't have to, if
Speaker 1: you're DK Metcalf, And where do you buy shirts because
Speaker 1: he can't get those off the rack? Yeah? You know this, Dan,
Speaker 1: I have two brothers, brothers in law, brother in law,
Speaker 1: the guy that you call meat heads. Yeah. Well yeah,
Speaker 1: these two guys are both built like Brad Pitton fight
Speaker 1: Club and they're like forty three, forty five years old
Speaker 1: and they're still completely jacked. They they never wear sleeves.
Speaker 1: They will wear like a T shirt with like a
Speaker 1: puppy kidding. We were in uh, you were in the
Speaker 1: city a couple of weeks ago for a family event.
Speaker 1: It was thirty degrees and the guy wore a T
Speaker 1: shirt with one of those puffy vests so he could
Speaker 1: still show off his arms. But I mean never sleeves.
Speaker 1: I guess if I had it, i'd flawn it. Why
Speaker 1: else do all the work? Yeah, especially if you're not
Speaker 1: playing sports and just a random guy. Yeah, but DK
Speaker 1: metcalf that it's pretty impressive. Yeah. Does he wear sleeves
Speaker 1: in the thirty degree weather in lambeau Field. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: ask you that's the first question. Are you wearing sleeves
Speaker 1: in Lambo? Yes? You remember Reggie Bush at the combine
Speaker 1: and he came out. He had full sleeves. He had
Speaker 1: that white shirt on him, full sleeves. It was like
Speaker 1: skin tight, and he was shredded. He was absolutely jack.
Speaker 1: He was so shredded he could even just make sleeves
Speaker 1: look like Yeah, it doesn't matter shredded wheat. If I
Speaker 1: had abs, though, yeah, I'd probably do my bed. I'd
Speaker 1: have a like a Zeke Elliott belly. I missed the
Speaker 1: belly shirt A strong move. Yeah, it is all right.
Speaker 1: Here was the stat that I was surprised at the
Speaker 1: eight teams to reach the divisional round of the playoffs
Speaker 1: this year. How many made it to the divisional round
Speaker 1: last year? Dude Dude won the Chiefs Dad of Your
Speaker 1: Days sad of the day, that last Dad of the day,
Speaker 1: Dad of good Day? Here comes that? What stat of
Speaker 1: the day? Last year? Divisional round Chiefs, Patriots, Chargers, Colts, Saints, Rams, Eagles, Cowboys.
Speaker 1: This year Ravens, Chief Sexans, Titans, Niners, Packers, Seahawks, and
Speaker 1: the Vikings. This is the first time that there's ever
Speaker 1: been fewer than two teams repeating in the NFL's Final
Speaker 1: eight from one year to the next. Found that interesting.
Speaker 1: We were watching Jeopardy last night. I wasn't planning on
Speaker 1: watching Jeopardy. This was the Goat Tournament, the greatest of
Speaker 1: all time. And Ken Jennings he won like seventy four
Speaker 1: consecutive games. Brad Rutter I think, was the other guy,
Speaker 1: and James Holdshower who joined us earlier or last year,
Speaker 1: and you know, they went toe to toe and Ken
Speaker 1: Jennings ended up winning there last night. But what was
Speaker 1: amazing is I think they missed one question the entire
Speaker 1: it was an hour long. There were two games of
Speaker 1: Jeopardy and then they combined your winnings there. They missed
Speaker 1: a total of one question there. And the ability for
Speaker 1: these guys to just have that much data in their
Speaker 1: heads and it's not like I think you have to study.
Speaker 1: I think it has to be an accumulation of it's
Speaker 1: really the lifestyle that they've led. Because Ken Jennings, you know,
Speaker 1: he lived on an army base and so he was
Speaker 1: he got to see one show on the Armed Forces
Speaker 1: Network and it was Jeopardy, and he would read the
Speaker 1: Guinness Book of Records. He had nothing to do. He's
Speaker 1: all by himself on a military base, and he I
Speaker 1: used to do this with sports books at night. Now,
Speaker 1: this is why I got the test scores that I got,
Speaker 1: and my grade point average was what it was. But
Speaker 1: I could tell you the nineteen fifty nine Chicago White
Speaker 1: Sox starting lineup. And I have no idea why I
Speaker 1: wanted to know these things, but I would memorize lineups.
Speaker 1: I wanted to know as much trivia as possible, figuring
Speaker 1: one day it was going to help me, Like can
Speaker 1: you name the sixty nine Mets? Yeah? Can you name
Speaker 1: the nineteen twenty seven New York Yankees? Yes? I never
Speaker 1: knew if it was going to matter, but I thought
Speaker 1: one day it might be relevant. And this is before
Speaker 1: trivial pursuit and all of those things. But these guys
Speaker 1: can you imagine these guys at trivial pursuit. Let's say,
Speaker 1: let's say you have a casual coupled dinner like a
Speaker 1: game nine, and all of a sudden you're gonna go, hey,
Speaker 1: how about some trivial pursuit, And all of a sudden
Speaker 1: he's going, uh, what is messobiat Mesopotamia. You don't have
Speaker 1: to do the what is just say Mesopotamia? But uh,
Speaker 1: you know these guys, they just you start reading and
Speaker 1: it's stuff that you don't think you ever used, but
Speaker 1: they it certainly came in handy. Maybe these guys millionaires. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you wan't a sports jeopardy. Do you think your peak
Speaker 1: of quickness and knowledge would have been about age fifteen,
Speaker 1: because that's all you thought about with sports and you
Speaker 1: just consumed it all the time. I'd say mid twenties, yeah,
Speaker 1: because there was a point where I was so obsessed
Speaker 1: with trivia that we went to parties, and one in
Speaker 1: particular in New York City, and I wouldn't let anybody leave.
Speaker 1: The guys leave until they stumped me. And and if
Speaker 1: if you didn't stump me, you went in the back
Speaker 1: of the line. And somehow I allowed this to happen
Speaker 1: or these guys agreed to do this, but what a jerk.
Speaker 1: Like It's like midnight, and I'm going, all right, you
Speaker 1: guys gotta stump because I didn't want anybody to leave,
Speaker 1: And I go, you gotta stump me with a trivia
Speaker 1: question sports trivia before you leave. You challenge them to
Speaker 1: a push up contest. Next. Oh. One of the party's
Speaker 1: theme how to never meet women. And my wife, who
Speaker 1: was I think my girlfriend at the time. She's like, ah,
Speaker 1: you're really upsetting, you know, Pam. Pam was the host.
Speaker 1: You're you're really upsetting Pam. You know you gotta let
Speaker 1: these people go. And I go, you know, all right,
Speaker 1: if one person stumps me with a trivia question, then
Speaker 1: everybody gets the lead, Like I what a loser? I was, am, Yeah,
Speaker 1: did you have a good time last night? Yes? You know,
Speaker 1: I stumped everybody with the trivia question. I proved I
Speaker 1: know more sports than anyone at the party I was at. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was great. Yeah. Oh, I'm gonna lose her. At
Speaker 1: least you had a girlfriend, man, I mean, the odds
Speaker 1: of you having a girlfriend with that behavior. I thought
Speaker 1: I might have lost her that night though, because I
Speaker 1: think she thought what am I getting myself into certain flag? Yes? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and uh. It continues because she'll always say, how many
Speaker 1: of your wives say this to you? When I say, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go get beers with Jeff and Tom and Jeff,
Speaker 1: and she says, play nice. Every single time when I
Speaker 1: leave the house, she tells me to play nothing. Does
Speaker 1: your does Aaron do that to you? Oh my god, dude, Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's okay. Now just play nice? Yeah, be nice. I know, yes, Tom,
Speaker 1: I get that I'd become increasingly more sarcastic and just
Speaker 1: making wise cracks. I don't know if that's the environment
Speaker 1: I've been in over the past every years, because they
Speaker 1: have fun doing that. But she, if you had to
Speaker 1: point that one thing, she would say that I'm getting
Speaker 1: a little too huge and free with like comments and remarks.
Speaker 1: Play nice, play nice. Guess who says if they wanted
Speaker 1: to stay at Duke before going to the NBA, have
Speaker 1: that core you after the break, everybody's got it to do. List.
Speaker 1: I get one from my wife, drop off the dry cleaning,
Speaker 1: pick up some milk, figure out something to get out
Speaker 1: of the house so I can relax. Here's an idea.
Speaker 1: Let's add save hundreds of dollars on car interns. The
Speaker 1: good thing you don't have to drop off or pick
Speaker 1: up anything. All you have to do is go to
Speaker 1: Geico dot com and in fifteen minutes you could be
Speaker 1: saving fifteen percent or more on car interns. Do you
Speaker 1: like extra money in your pocket? Do you like not
Speaker 1: having to drive somewhere to pick something up? This is
Speaker 1: a way to do it. It just may be the
Speaker 1: most rewarding thing on your to do list today. That's
Speaker 1: Geico dot com. Hey, listeners, just wanted to take a

Speaker 1: the Knicks last night, mostly the Lakers and Anthony Davis
Speaker 1: a scary fall there. Miss a couple of games Bruce Tailbone.
Speaker 1: The MAVs and the Nuggets tonight, I believe, does that
Speaker 1: sound right? My Nuggets against the MAVs. That'll be entertaining,
Speaker 1: you know, because the Nuggets are right there where they
Speaker 1: were last year. Everybody's talked about the Lakers and the
Speaker 1: Clippers and the Nuggets. And you know Michael Porter junior
Speaker 1: as remember that was the kid at Missouri. He had
Speaker 1: the bad back and you know, came out of high
Speaker 1: school and was one of the top recruits coming out
Speaker 1: of high school, might have been the number one recruit.
Speaker 1: Went to Missouri and we never really got to see
Speaker 1: much of him because he injured his back and the
Speaker 1: Nuggets took a chance on him. I think they took
Speaker 1: him like thirteenth in the first first round, and he
Speaker 1: started to supply some offense here and the Nuggets are
Speaker 1: back where they were now. You might not look at
Speaker 1: them as a team that can close out the Lakers
Speaker 1: or Clippers and you know, win four games, but they're
Speaker 1: they're a talented team, very talented and feels like they're
Speaker 1: a little better this year. Yeah, I mean, if you're
Speaker 1: looking for a guy could put up huge regular season
Speaker 1: numbers about early in the playoffs, er, I mean, people
Speaker 1: rip and be but Joker has done nothing in the
Speaker 1: playoffs and he's just a regular season machine. I'm sorry
Speaker 1: people are mean to Okay, but why are you being
Speaker 1: mean to him? Because people would being mean to Joel Embiid?
Speaker 1: Aren't they similar? Not? Really does nobody pays attention to
Speaker 1: the Nuggets shortcoming these They are great, like you said,
Speaker 1: they're they're twenty five and ten. They should be like
Speaker 1: a real title connector. But he can't get over that hume. Okay,
Speaker 1: how many times has he been in the plants? Maybe once,
Speaker 1: maybe twice? How many times has Embied been in the
Speaker 1: plants once or twice? Okay, yeah, how about we wait,
Speaker 1: how about we get a larger sample size there. This
Speaker 1: is the twenty ways actually crazy. That's why I'm a
Speaker 1: dinosaur in this business. I had logic occasionally Golden Road Brewing.
Speaker 1: I have I add Golden Road Brewing occasionally to my diet.
Speaker 1: Golden Road Brewing. Uh, you're gonna love this beer. Wolf

Speaker 1: Crown Beer since twenty eleven. All Right, I teased you,
Speaker 1: as we like to stay in the business, which Duke
Speaker 1: player said he wanted to stay at Duke He's Zion Williamson.
Speaker 1: He had this to say on JJ Reddick's podcast. It
Speaker 1: was like the deadline. I think of the deadline when
Speaker 1: he had to declare, you had to say, all right,
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do to Clare and not me?
Speaker 1: I wanted to go back. Nobody who ever believes me anything.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that, but no, I genially wanted to
Speaker 1: go back. I felt like the NBA wasn't going anywhere.
Speaker 1: You know, the money thing, that's money. I don't play
Speaker 1: this for money. I played because I juinially loved the game.
Speaker 1: I just loved my experience at Duke that much where
Speaker 1: I wanted to stay. He also talked about why he
Speaker 1: wanted to go to the NBA, but it was one
Speaker 1: of those situations where coach Ka is not gonna let
Speaker 1: me come back, you know, because he wants me to
Speaker 1: do his best for the family, so our team, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, And I would be dope if
Speaker 1: you come back. But same time, you know they're telling
Speaker 1: me I would be leaving too much. You know, I
Speaker 1: did work this long to get to that. It was tough. Um.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, I think it was
Speaker 1: kind of my mom, you know, she said she's going
Speaker 1: to support whatever I do. So I was like, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm going back. And then, you know, I think her
Speaker 1: and my stepdad talked about it and they were like,
Speaker 1: you worked too hard to get to this moment. You
Speaker 1: know you would feel bad if you left this. So
Speaker 1: I said, I did work for this as I was
Speaker 1: like four or five, so let me go. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool. That's uh jj Reddick's podcast, And I
Speaker 1: can understand it. You're you're with a great coach. You
Speaker 1: know the fact that coach K wouldn't let him come back,
Speaker 1: but it was time for him to go, Like you
Speaker 1: want to continue to improve as a player, and he
Speaker 1: had proven everything. Unless you say, well, he wanted to
Speaker 1: win a national title, there were no guarantees because even
Speaker 1: with that team, you didn't win a national title. Now
Speaker 1: we'll wait and save Zion Williamson as a professional, whether
Speaker 1: it happens this here or next DK Metcalf for the Seahawks,
Speaker 1: which one is coming up final level. There are things
Speaker 1: that should not be copycat killers. They exist those who
Speaker 1: are compelled to turn bloody fiction into a real life
Speaker 1: course car who is inspired by the Joker. They do
Speaker 1: it because the acts give them power and control the license. Together.
