Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. We did it, We did it. We made
Speaker 1: it to the final hour of the program. Limping towards
Speaker 1: the finish line, Todd, how are you feeling?
Speaker 2: I feel good.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 2: It ain't nothing going to break my stride. Wasn't that
Speaker 2: a song?
Speaker 4: I get poked and prodded it And sometimes I'm wrong
Speaker 4: and I'm not paying attention and I'm wandering while I'm
Speaker 4: doing other things. But you know, I'm not the first
Speaker 4: and last person to be defensive on the staff about
Speaker 4: comments that are made.
Speaker 2: So I'm good.
Speaker 3: That's gonna make it all better.
Speaker 5: If you've never felt defensive or upset with a comment
Speaker 5: that was talking about you, done, it's just a say
Speaker 5: any hands, it's a Friday, it's the final hour.
Speaker 4: It seemed like a minor thing. I'm getting tweets saying
Speaker 4: I thought the same thing I thought. Polly looked it
Speaker 4: up and gave you the answer. So there's other people
Speaker 4: not paying attention.
Speaker 6: I guess.
Speaker 3: It's okay. It's likely for them they don't work here. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's true.
Speaker 2: If there's a punishment for me, I'm paying attention.
Speaker 3: No you would question, he answered it. Why are you
Speaker 3: looking at me?
Speaker 2: What did I say it that it was meant to
Speaker 2: be an?
Speaker 4: I guess a history of years and years of little
Speaker 4: pokes a pride, so everyone has their line that you
Speaker 4: go to do on the Eventually something's gonna be like,
Speaker 4: you know what, This time, I'm gonna be like, no,
Speaker 4: this is bull I'm gonna say something to back.
Speaker 3: Okay, anything else you want to say, that's it.
Speaker 4: I was being honest in the moment I was paying attention.
Speaker 4: There have been times where you called me and I
Speaker 4: set eleven and you're asking for the name of a
Speaker 4: person who was the last person that did that.
Speaker 2: I would have to be eleven, would have been the
Speaker 2: guy that did that.
Speaker 3: But you don't admit when you're wrong, when you've doubled down.
Speaker 2: I told you this a long time ago.
Speaker 4: If you don't say how wonderful great I am anything
Speaker 4: other than that, I'm tuning everyone out. I just need
Speaker 4: to hear how great. That's just babyish quality in me.
Speaker 7: Yes, Set, Just for the record, that you didn't say
Speaker 7: it with that kind of attitude. That's just the joke
Speaker 7: that I'm making, Okay, And the more that I make
Speaker 7: the joke, the worse it's gonna get about like your
Speaker 7: attitude about how you screamed it.
Speaker 3: Dan.
Speaker 4: Sometimes I don't hear myself and I'm like, if I
Speaker 4: came across like that, that's I didn't mean to sound
Speaker 4: rude and like I was, we were.
Speaker 3: Just having fun. Why why is it that you're supposed
Speaker 3: to be mister funny, mister humor, but you don't have one?
Speaker 3: I sense of humor.
Speaker 2: I think some of the funniest people or that think
Speaker 2: they're funny, I should.
Speaker 3: Say you're not one of the funniest.
Speaker 4: I think that they're funny and think that they make
Speaker 4: people laugh, are the most sensitive.
Speaker 2: Okay, probably in.
Speaker 7: The look on Twitter are comparing this to the scene
Speaker 7: with Joe pesci and Spider and Good fellas he goes
Speaker 7: to get the drink. They're like, there's really no reason
Speaker 7: for it to escalate like this, but it has, and
Speaker 7: some Spider doesn't end well for him. Spoiler alert.
Speaker 2: I'm not quite that violent, but I get annoyed in
Speaker 2: the moment every one in a while.
Speaker 3: Okay, so it's a meat Friday. We have reverse seared
Speaker 3: reb what.
Speaker 2: Paul just gave you the answer? Why A we're going
Speaker 2: around the room.
Speaker 7: I'll just give you the answer.
Speaker 3: How often do I say or phrase it this way?
Speaker 3: When's the last time the blank made? The playoffs?
Speaker 2: And Paulie usually takes it upon himself as as a
Speaker 2: lead producer.
Speaker 4: I want to get Dan that answer as quickly as ponsible,
Speaker 4: and he would look it up and give it to you.
Speaker 2: I know it became a game show.
Speaker 3: If I went to Marvin instead of Paulie, would you
Speaker 3: then have offered up an answer?
Speaker 4: Probably not, I would think Martin would say, ask Paulie.
Speaker 4: He's the one that always gives you that like ask
Speaker 4: of it.
Speaker 7: That's what he would have said.
Speaker 3: Why are you asking me?
Speaker 2: Well, he's very good and very fast of finding information.
Speaker 3: To Todd, we do this all the time where I
Speaker 3: throw it to everybody around the room.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll say, I guess his guests.
Speaker 4: Was so sounded so confident that it sounds like the
Speaker 4: actual answer when I say that, as opposed to me
Speaker 4: not paying attention altogether, which has happened. But in that case,
Speaker 4: what Paulie said to you sound like he knew the
Speaker 4: answer and that was the answer that he was given
Speaker 4: to you after researching it.
Speaker 3: But why would I go to you if Paulie gave
Speaker 3: me the answer.
Speaker 2: It didn't make sense.
Speaker 4: I thought that was just you were having like a
Speaker 4: senior moment, and like, why are we're going around the room.
Speaker 2: Paul he just gave it. I don't I didn't understand.
Speaker 2: It didn't make sense.
Speaker 3: See now you tripled down. Now you've tripled.
Speaker 4: He's asking me if Pauli just gave him the answer,
Speaker 4: and he wants me to just to reiterate.
Speaker 7: Pa problem Dan here is you're old. I know not
Speaker 7: that Todd wasn't paying attention.
Speaker 2: See if everybody thinks.
Speaker 4: What Paulie said is the right answer that he just
Speaker 4: gave you, let's say they will just say the same number.
Speaker 3: Damn you, It is deep, deep, deep rooted.
Speaker 2: I got to go talk to somebody.
Speaker 3: Your mom, your mommy. You need to talk to your mommy.
Speaker 8: No less time talking tobut more time talking to a professional.
Speaker 2: I could use a little time on the couch.
Speaker 3: Holy smoker. Alrighty, damn oh.
Speaker 2: I just told you what the answer was. What's your deal?
Speaker 3: Okay? Todd point made We got it? Thank you? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Uh you know what, I'm gonna take away meat Friday.
Speaker 3: You know, the hell with you guys?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Do it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, punish everybody, do it.
Speaker 3: I want them to hate you Todd for this. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you know, just throw it all in the trashy. No,
Speaker 3: I'm going next door giveing to them. I'm going to
Speaker 3: the fire department. Give it to true heroes.
Speaker 4: How much for the New Year's resolution being nice to Todd.
Speaker 4: It's like people that joined the gym January first and
Speaker 4: or January fifth, they're not going anywhere to get the
Speaker 4: chetohs are coming back out.
Speaker 3: Yeah those people. Okay, once again, we have Carolina Gold
Speaker 3: Oysters dug in North Carolina kind enough to send those
Speaker 3: to us yesterday, reverse seared rib crabcakes and that's you, Todd.
Speaker 3: Crabcake and a bacon wrapped scoumps. Who has it better
Speaker 3: than we do?
Speaker 9: A lot.
Speaker 3: Sunday night wild card matchup? You know who's playing Todd.
Speaker 2: The Sunday and I matchup involved the Commanders in the Bucks.
Speaker 3: You know the last time the Commanders made the postseason.
Speaker 2: I think Paul has the answer for you.
Speaker 3: Nineteen years ago when they won a playoff game.
Speaker 2: Harvin, how many years ago?
Speaker 3: Was Sunday seven thirty Eastern on NBC and Pete he
Speaker 3: just said nineteen.
Speaker 7: Dan just said nineteen big win for Notre Dame last
Speaker 7: night by big, big win for Notre Dame. He can't
Speaker 7: script this, just said nineteen years. The true Marvin how
Speaker 7: many years? He just said nineteen So.
Speaker 3: Notre Dame comes back to be Penn State twenty seven
Speaker 3: to twenty four.
Speaker 2: I'm going to go with nineteen.
Speaker 3: Tonight, Ohio State versus Texas. Ohio State is favored by six.
Speaker 3: We had Chris Fowler on first hour, Chris will call
Speaker 3: the game with Herbie tonight on the mother Ship and
Speaker 3: I said, are we underestimating Texas? And he said no,
Speaker 3: I think it's the opposite. We're waiting for Texas to
Speaker 3: put together a great game that they haven't put together
Speaker 3: a great game. And He's right, you're kind of waiting
Speaker 3: for Texas, I don't know, to prove that they are
Speaker 3: as talented as anybody in the country. And Arizona State
Speaker 3: had them. But you know, a fourth and thirteen call
Speaker 3: by a Quinn Hugh, you know that changed the game.
Speaker 3: But I think you know you're looking at Texas. The
Speaker 3: defensive line is great. Offensive line protecting Quinn Hewers. Can
Speaker 3: you run the football is really I think the key
Speaker 3: to Texas can they run the football in Ohio State,
Speaker 3: trying to limit them, you know, the big plays that
Speaker 3: you can get. I mean, good luck with that. But
Speaker 3: that's probably the philosophy going into this. You have NFL openings.
Speaker 3: We still have the Bears, Jags, Jets, Patriots, Raiders, and
Speaker 3: the Saints. The Raiders also open for business for a
Speaker 3: GM as well. Tom Telesco, who was with the Chargers,
Speaker 3: went to the Raiders and lasted a year. The Vikings
Speaker 3: and the Rams wisely moving to Arizona. That makes sense
Speaker 3: for everybody involved. And I know it can be inconvenience
Speaker 3: for Viking fans coming in obviously Rams fans, but understanding
Speaker 3: what is going on in the city of Los Angeles.
Speaker 3: You can't take away police first responders. You can't take
Speaker 3: them away from what they're doing with their jobs. And
Speaker 3: you're still seeing I mean, these firefighters are out there
Speaker 3: and all night. That's what always whenever you see the
Speaker 3: video and it's at night, like how scary it is. Anyway,
Speaker 3: if you've ever been involved in a natural disaster, whether
Speaker 3: it's a hurricane, a tornado, I was involved in a
Speaker 3: tornado growing up, and it was at night and yet
Speaker 3: just you know it adds more to the scariness of it.
Speaker 3: You can't see, you know, homes are being destroyed right
Speaker 3: in front of you. And here you have these fires
Speaker 3: and you just see this, you know, bright red blaze,
Speaker 3: and then these people trying to figure out where to
Speaker 3: go is I told you a friend of mine who
Speaker 3: lost his house. I found that out. He lives in
Speaker 3: Pacific Poli Stage. He said that he took his wife
Speaker 3: and two daughters outside and the winds were blowing so
Speaker 3: hard he didn't know which direction to go in. You know,
Speaker 3: there's no GPS to get away from a fire. And
Speaker 3: he said, you're making a decision that can cost you
Speaker 3: and your family their lives. So and he said, it
Speaker 3: happened so quickly. It's not like you say, oh the
Speaker 3: fire is coming, it's hours away. He said, it just happened.
Speaker 3: And next thing you know, you're saying, grab your computers,
Speaker 3: grab your phones, and you know, whatever else you have
Speaker 3: that you grab, let's go. And he said he got outside,
Speaker 3: and he's supposed to be the one who's making this decision.
Speaker 3: And he said to me later, broke my heart. He said,
Speaker 3: I'm such a coward. He goes, I was so afraid,
Speaker 3: I said, you're not a coward. I said, you just
Speaker 3: have to be strong for your daughters. And he said,
Speaker 3: I don't know if I was. Now they since got
Speaker 3: to a hotel, but and he said, I think my
Speaker 3: house is destroyed. I don't know, but he said, that's
Speaker 3: the least my worries. He said, but I had to
Speaker 3: make a decision in the moment. Do I go left,
Speaker 3: do I go right? Do I go north? Do I
Speaker 3: go south? They said, their life does not you know,
Speaker 3: prepare you for something like that. So a long winded
Speaker 3: way of saying, you know, the people in Los Angeles,
Speaker 3: certainly the firefighters, first responders, breaks my heart to see it.
Speaker 3: And you know what, we haven't even got through all
Speaker 3: of this. I know the winds are dying down. But hopefully,
Speaker 3: hopefully there's some positives somewhere in all of this. Eight
Speaker 3: seven seven three DP show email address Tpatdanpatrick dot com,
Speaker 3: Twitter handle a DP show. Get a couple of phone
Speaker 3: calls in here Doug in North Carolina, Hi, Dug.
Speaker 1: Hey Dan, how are you today?
Speaker 3: I'm great, thanks to the oysters that you sent.
Speaker 9: Well, you're welcome, but actually I wanted to thank you today.
Speaker 9: If you can give me thirty seconds to go on
Speaker 9: and about what the show has meant to me about
Speaker 9: several years ago, I quit my job in the local
Speaker 9: TV industry to start a ministry and it was very
Speaker 9: slow going, very slow going, And right around that time
Speaker 9: I discovered your show. And what really endured me to
Speaker 9: you guys were the rare occasions when you would talk
Speaker 9: about the slow start to the Dan Patrick Radio Show.
Speaker 9: And I told you a year ago you need to
Speaker 9: write a book that starts with that story of you
Speaker 9: drinking beer at a pizza parlor. But what a stayed
Speaker 9: with me about that story, specifically was the ending where
Speaker 9: Polly gives you a pep talk and walks into his room,
Speaker 9: calls his wife and says, I think I made the
Speaker 9: worst mistake of my life. And that's been inspiring to
Speaker 9: me because I knew how it ended up for you guys.
Speaker 9: And this nonprofit that we started is had a great year.
Speaker 9: We've helped pay five hundred thousand dollars in rental support.
Speaker 9: I think we're making a difference. But I sincerely mean
Speaker 9: I would have quit a long time ago. Pardon me
Speaker 9: if I didn't discover your show. You guys kept me
Speaker 9: going by talking about your humble days and it's meant
Speaker 9: a great deal to me, and so thank you. I mean,
Speaker 9: I hope this little token shows my appreciation.
Speaker 2: Doug.
Speaker 3: Thank you. Thank you for being a loyal listener and
Speaker 3: always look forward to your phone calls and just give
Speaker 3: me the cliff notes version. We were just starting the
Speaker 3: show and we were in Los we were in Burbank,
Speaker 3: and we just we were doing the first week of
Speaker 3: shows and I had not done mornings before. I'm in
Speaker 3: Los Angeles. I'm so proud to be morning drive radio
Speaker 3: in Los Angeles. And we got done with the show.
Speaker 3: I didn't think it was a good show. I don't
Speaker 3: think management thought it was very good. And Paulie took
Speaker 3: both barrels from management. I mean, he took it. And
Speaker 3: I'm watching this happen at the end of the show,
Speaker 3: the last ten minutes, and he's getting dressed down, he's
Speaker 3: getting berated, and I walked out to him and I said,
Speaker 3: what he goes now, don't worry about, don't worry about,
Speaker 3: just finish up the show. We got done. I said,
Speaker 3: what the bleep happened? And then he told me, And
Speaker 3: I was just so disappointed that we tried. We were
Speaker 3: trying we're figuring, trying to figure this out. And I
Speaker 3: remember walking from the radio station and I was going
Speaker 3: back to my hotel and I it's nine fifteen in
Speaker 3: the morning, and I go buy this pitzeria and you know,
Speaker 3: the guy's in there mopping. They're not opening up for
Speaker 3: a couple of hours. I'm banging on the door, banging,
Speaker 3: and the guy goes.
Speaker 10: No, not open.
Speaker 3: I said, I just can I get a Can I
Speaker 3: get a picture of beer? And he's like, yeah, come
Speaker 3: on in. So I think he realized I needed a beer,
Speaker 3: like a movie. Maybe not a picture a beer, but
Speaker 3: I just I thought, oh my god, I never should
Speaker 3: have left ESPN. And but you know, Paulie, you know,
Speaker 3: told me it'll be better, whether you believed it or not.
Speaker 3: But it's probably the best moment, most valuable moment Paulie
Speaker 3: ever had. Was I don't know if he knew we
Speaker 3: were going to be successful, and I didn't feel that way.
Speaker 3: And I called my wife and went back to the hotel.
Speaker 3: I stayed at the restaurant for two hours and had
Speaker 3: a picture of beer and then waited for them to
Speaker 3: make a pizza. And then I think I left him
Speaker 3: one hundred dollars tip. I'm like, you don't know what
Speaker 3: you just did for me. I go back to the hotel.
Speaker 3: I call my wife. I said, hun, I think I
Speaker 3: just made the biggest decision of my worst decision of
Speaker 3: my life. And she said, no, you didn't, No, you didn't.
Speaker 3: And I remember I had to get together with Paulie.
Speaker 3: I'm like, god, dang, talk me down off the ledge.
Speaker 3: And I remember I said, all right, damn it. So
Speaker 3: you know, you go to bed at seven in the
Speaker 3: morning to wake up at four point thirty. And I
Speaker 3: just said, all right, we're going to take bullets here.
Speaker 3: We just have to survive because if we're if we're
Speaker 3: successful Morning Drive in LA, we'll be picked. And at
Speaker 3: the time, I think we had eighteen radio states, like
Speaker 3: I couldn't get anybody to take the show, and we
Speaker 3: were doing the show in my attic for three years.
Speaker 3: But you know what, it all came together. It just
Speaker 3: for some reason. And you know, give credit to the
Speaker 3: dan Nets because they picked up my spirits the whole time,
Speaker 3: because I'd be like MOPy Dick coming in. I'd be like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, yeah pulling.
Speaker 6: I gotta tell you it's funny because I remember that day.
Speaker 8: In those next couple of days, I was much less
Speaker 8: worried because I always trust.
Speaker 6: Talent and skill and ability. You're talented.
Speaker 8: Seaton was great at what he did, even things he
Speaker 8: didn't know he had to do when he joined us.
Speaker 8: He's back home patching stuff. He's not an engineer, he
Speaker 8: was engineering. I knew Fritzi was going to book the
Speaker 8: hell out of the show. I'm confident myself and the
Speaker 8: four of us are good at what we do, and
Speaker 8: I was like, it's going to shake out. It's like
Speaker 8: you ever watched the first few episodes of Seinfeld. They're horrible,
Speaker 8: the first few episodes of the Sopranos, they're horrible because
Speaker 8: they haven't found their way yet. And three days after
Speaker 8: this show you just talked about, we had David Comes
Speaker 8: first American interview, right, we had Phil Jackson the next day.
Speaker 8: Fritzy crushed it, and then it just started taking on
Speaker 8: a life of itself.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was management had an idea of how they
Speaker 3: wanted this show done.
Speaker 6: And he didn't listen.
Speaker 3: We did not Nope. Yeah, I said, look I'm going down.
Speaker 3: If I'm going down, I'm going down, and flames my
Speaker 3: way because this is why part of the reason why
Speaker 3: I left ESPN is I wanted to do it my
Speaker 3: way and we outlasted everybody. But it's a testament to
Speaker 3: everybody involved in this because man I lacked a whole
Speaker 3: I lacked confidence, that's for sure. But that beer. I've
Speaker 3: never had a better tasting beer than that beer. That
Speaker 3: morning at about nine to twenty five in Burbank to
Speaker 3: go buy that pizzeria, see if they're open for business.
Speaker 8: I was at the breakfast bar at the hotel eating
Speaker 8: leftover omelets or something for the morning crew.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Any who, we're all together here and that's all
Speaker 3: that matters. Time many years later, yeah, eleven later? Yeah,
Speaker 3: how many years later? Eleven nineteen nineteen.
Speaker 2: I were just poking. Yeah.
Speaker 3: See, we went from you complaining to me talking about
Speaker 3: this is a feel good moment. You know, we've helped lives,
Speaker 3: We've helped people.
Speaker 2: That's what you do.
Speaker 4: You turn things around, You get things back on track.
Speaker 4: Just one it looks like it's totally off the rails.
Speaker 4: You bring it back with your professionalism.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Tom, thank you. Yeah, what were we talking
Speaker 3: about it exactly? Bill Kawer is set to join us
Speaker 3: coming up next. We hope you'll stay with us as
Speaker 3: well after this.

Speaker 3: Hall of Fame head coach Bill Kauer and was so
Speaker 3: part of NFL Today on CBS studio. Am oh, look
Speaker 3: who showed up early? I coach?
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I found Waldough.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh. I told you I was going to put it,
Speaker 3: put it up there, and we made you there you go.
Speaker 13: I appreciate that. I said's stage right, it's good.
Speaker 3: Does it look like you are you? Did you have
Speaker 3: to approve it?
Speaker 13: I have I have multiple babble heads. I had one
Speaker 13: with a gold jacket on, another one with a headset.
Speaker 13: I think this one with a headset. I had to
Speaker 13: get the one that's just the coach. You just hall
Speaker 13: of fame, doesn't it doesn't deserve to be on that desk.
Speaker 13: I'm a regular guy, like the policeman, like everybody else.
Speaker 13: I'm not. I'm not just in the old football coach
Speaker 13: right next to the San Antonio traffic police guy.
Speaker 3: Are you did you grow up hating Penn State?
Speaker 13: Go out? When I didn't offer me a scholarship. So
Speaker 13: but my brother went there.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, because I'm watching the game last night, I'm like,
Speaker 3: I think your dad was at Ducuane, like you feel
Speaker 3: like you were a pit guy.
Speaker 13: Oh. I was on the recruiting trip up there, and
Speaker 13: they never offered me a scholarship. And ironically enough, my
Speaker 13: freshman year at NC State, I played as a freshman
Speaker 13: against them, and before the game, I pulled out the
Speaker 13: leather that says they didn't think I was big enough
Speaker 13: to play college Division one football. I said, well, we'll
Speaker 13: find out today, won't we.
Speaker 3: Uh, did you model your game after anybody?
Speaker 13: No? You know, I grew up. I grew up watching
Speaker 13: Jack Lambert. I mean I just I loved him. I
Speaker 13: didn't do it, but I loved Hacksaw Reynolds when he
Speaker 13: used to chop his steet in place before the ball
Speaker 13: was snapped. Just guys, I mean just people had their
Speaker 13: own personalities, right, and that's that's I just I like
Speaker 13: Jack was my guy, Dick Buckis was my guy, and
Speaker 13: Ray Nitchkey were my guys. Those were the three guys
Speaker 13: I looked at.
Speaker 3: We talk about the Lions and Dan Campbell and creating
Speaker 3: culture and it's a weird word. When you create cult?
Speaker 3: Do you know how to create culture?
Speaker 13: You know? I think culture is something that is manifested.
Speaker 13: I think it takes time. It's creating a building where
Speaker 13: you'd like to think that you walk in there, there's
Speaker 13: a selflessness about it. There's also a sense of purpose
Speaker 13: about it. There's a trust that exists, and you're able
Speaker 13: to kind of give ownership to the players to oversee
Speaker 13: the locker room. And I think that's when you know
Speaker 13: you've gotten to that level. But the culture is about
Speaker 13: being real, being transparent, about holding people accountable, and you're
Speaker 13: in there for one purpose. When you walk in, their leader,
Speaker 13: you go at the door, and we're all in this
Speaker 13: thing together.
Speaker 3: When did the hatred for the Ravens start? Or well
Speaker 3: both ways here.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean I when they moved from Cleveland to Baltimore,
Speaker 13: I just call them the Browns. I mean, they can
Speaker 13: call themselves the Ravens, but I call them the Browns
Speaker 13: and are the same thing that we're up the turnpick.
Speaker 13: It's going to go We're going to go east instead
Speaker 13: of going north. But there's still the same team. We
Speaker 13: don't like, there's still the same team. We take very
Speaker 13: personal with and so, and then it probably happened right
Speaker 13: around that two thousand era when ray Lewis came in
Speaker 13: and start doing the dance they had to and then
Speaker 13: we were going back and forth with the division at
Speaker 13: that time. And I think that's the real robberies are
Speaker 13: kind of bridge you know what, Dan, It's like when
Speaker 13: you have when you are both fighting for that division
Speaker 13: and you find yourselves on top. And then we were
Speaker 13: both kind of identically built. It was about kind of
Speaker 13: a run in the football, play defense, impose yourself on
Speaker 13: the other team, and we kind of all took we
Speaker 13: took pride in that physicality part of the game. And
Speaker 13: I think the early two thousands that was absolutely identified
Speaker 13: and that's what that game was all about.
Speaker 3: You don't strike me as a coach who would allow
Speaker 3: as players to be dancing like ray Lewis did to
Speaker 3: open up a game.
Speaker 13: Well, we didn't dance, but we talked a lot. I
Speaker 13: think we had a lot of guys that like to
Speaker 13: get the last word in. Joey Porter was never never
Speaker 13: was lost for words on the field.
Speaker 3: But you were okay with that.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I wanted edgy players. I didn't mind having edgy
Speaker 13: players I know. I always said, my job as a
Speaker 13: coach is for you to walk that line of being
Speaker 13: that almost arrogant, almost like supreme. I feel you're the
Speaker 13: best person on that field, and when you cross the line,
Speaker 13: my job is to pull you back. Where do you
Speaker 13: cross the line when you disrespect the game, You disrespect
Speaker 13: the opponent, or you disrespect a teammate, and that's dancing
Speaker 13: or doing something that's in someone's face. So I said,
Speaker 13: just as long as you respect the game, walk that line.
Speaker 13: And sometimes I felt a guy, we're almost too safe,
Speaker 13: too cautious, didn't want to make a mistake, And I said,
Speaker 13: if if I can't, if I don't pull you back periodically,
Speaker 13: you're not walking the line close enough. So I kind
Speaker 13: of encourage them to get to be a little bit
Speaker 13: of a swagger when we walked on that field.
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer Bill Kauer, of course, NFL Today, CBS
Speaker 3: Studio analyst, Did you ever come close to wanting to
Speaker 3: go after another coach? Punch a coach, not.
Speaker 13: Punch of coach. But I think there's obviously the clip
Speaker 13: of me with Chris Hudson when he picked up the
Speaker 13: block field goal of dont Jacksonville walking down the sideline
Speaker 13: and I kind of just was gonna do one of those.
Speaker 13: But I blame I. But then I blame that on
Speaker 13: the ghost of Woody Hayes. It was actually the very
Speaker 13: same sideline, the very same part in the field where
Speaker 13: he punched Charlie Bowman from Clemson. So I think I
Speaker 13: think that was just that was the Woody Hayes that
Speaker 13: came out of. It was the same field, same part
Speaker 13: of the field. It's it's ironic if you go back
Speaker 13: and someone pulling that out to me and I said, well,
Speaker 13: that answers that couldn't have been me doing that. But no,
Speaker 13: I'm you know, I never know. You know. I respected
Speaker 13: the game and I love to compete. I didn't like losing,
Speaker 13: but never really took it that personally. If that took
Speaker 13: a personally, I took it upon myself that we didn't
Speaker 13: do enough to win the game.
Speaker 3: If I gave you the lines or the field in
Speaker 3: the NFC, who would you take.
Speaker 13: Well, right now, I would say the Lions. And I
Speaker 13: say that for this reason. They are so battle tested
Speaker 13: right now. They are such a reflection of Dan Campbell.
Speaker 13: Everyone keeps talking about what they don't have, and he
Speaker 13: just keeps using that for fuel to fuel this team.
Speaker 13: Aaron Glenn has done a vantais two job. Ben Johnson
Speaker 13: I think is one of the best offensive coordinators in
Speaker 13: the league. And they're getting a little bit healthy right now.
Speaker 13: So they get a bye week and get healthy. You're
Speaker 13: playing at home in Detroit. They got to win two games.
Speaker 13: I just don't know for as a team there. You
Speaker 13: saw what they did against Minnesota. They and it's probably
Speaker 13: the biggest robbery if you think about that team. The
Speaker 13: only team I think that really can go in there
Speaker 13: are the Philadelphi Eagles. I think the Philadelphi Eagles has
Speaker 13: what it takes because they can run the football, they
Speaker 13: can play defense right now, and they got a really
Speaker 13: good offensive line. And if you again, Jalen Hurts comes back,
Speaker 13: he's supposed to come back this week. I think that's
Speaker 13: the one team to me that I think can battle them.
Speaker 3: If I gave you the Chiefs of the field in
Speaker 3: the AFC, well we've.
Speaker 13: Been picking against the Chiefs all season long. We keep
Speaker 13: waiting for the left to put the shoe to drop
Speaker 13: on that team. But you know, again, they're playing at home,
Speaker 13: they're getting healthy. I still look at Baltimore and Buffalo
Speaker 13: as two teams, then they're gonna meet probably in the
Speaker 13: divisional round to go there. I think both those teams
Speaker 13: kind of like the Thorn, and both of those teams
Speaker 13: has been the Kansas City Chiefs, So I think either
Speaker 13: one of those two teams are gonna have a chance
Speaker 13: to go into the Kansas City with a little bit
Speaker 13: of a chip on their shoulders. So I you know,
Speaker 13: again it's hard to pick against them, but I think
Speaker 13: there's a little bit. There's a few more teams in
Speaker 13: the AFC I think that can challenge the Chiefs, and
Speaker 13: there are in the NFC that can challenge the Lions.
Speaker 3: What's it like to be a head coach when you
Speaker 3: want your assistance, your offensive or defensive coordinators to be
Speaker 3: able to interview for a head coaching job. And I
Speaker 3: know this probably didn't go on when you were coaching,
Speaker 3: but now, I mean, imagine you're Dan Campbell and you're
Speaker 3: probably losing both of your coordinators, but he's still there
Speaker 3: as the head coach while they're interviewing for other jobs.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think the first week is not a problem.
Speaker 13: I think we have the week off. I think it's
Speaker 13: not a problem with that, And I think number one,
Speaker 13: I always looked at as a fender of my cap.
Speaker 13: You know, I had eight guys that went on to
Speaker 13: become head coaches from from my staff, and I always
Speaker 13: looked at that as you know, I was proud of that,
Speaker 13: a very very project that they were able to move
Speaker 13: on from us and be able to go to the
Speaker 13: next level. So I don't think I think it's a
Speaker 13: problem is when they're interviewing during the course of the
Speaker 13: game they're having that week. I don't think I would
Speaker 13: allow that because to me, the attention should be on
Speaker 13: that game, because that game is also going to be
Speaker 13: a reflection on your record and on our record, and
Speaker 13: it's an opportunity. In the playoffs, it's single elimination. This
Speaker 13: is not best of three, so it's single elimination. And
Speaker 13: to me, when you have the week of the game,
Speaker 13: that focus is on the week of the game, but
Speaker 13: the bye week, I get it. I understand it because
Speaker 13: people like to move fast in our league. And I
Speaker 13: think the bottom line and I said this, I told
Speaker 13: this to dan Is. I said, the one thing you
Speaker 13: have success And I learned this very early. Did you
Speaker 13: better have a backup plan, a backup plan to the're having.
Speaker 13: Your coordinators are going to get plucked to go to
Speaker 13: become a head coaches, which is a feather in your cap.
Speaker 13: It's nothing to look negatively about. But now be able
Speaker 13: to maybe work with in house and be able to
Speaker 13: promote in house if you can do it. And that's
Speaker 13: the ideal that atmosphere. You talk about culture, how about
Speaker 13: a great culture where you know if you stay right
Speaker 13: there and that you may have a chance to advance
Speaker 13: in your own field of employee and actually made a
Speaker 13: chance to become a head coach. So I think he
Speaker 13: has a backup plan to both those things, and I
Speaker 13: think most coaches do, but I always encourage them. Then
Speaker 13: when you have success, the first thing you better do
Speaker 13: is have a backup plan for your assistant coaches.
Speaker 3: You got a story about Rothlessburger frustrating you. Well, did
Speaker 3: he always listen to you when you called in plays?
Speaker 13: Well, he would do one of these things like he
Speaker 13: said no, no, that.
Speaker 2: He would say.
Speaker 13: It's not working. I said, well, there are communications I
Speaker 13: work and they go I think it is. I go, well,
Speaker 13: let's check his home. When he gets out, we grab
Speaker 13: that to just grab his helmet. One time we grabbed
Speaker 13: his homet they go coaches working, fine, he goes. It
Speaker 13: just came back off.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 13: That's not I go, that is not a true statement.
Speaker 13: Then I know it. It's not. You can't I can't
Speaker 13: hear it. You're calling plays. So then interesting question. Now
Speaker 13: I'm going to sit down. I always wonder about this,
Speaker 13: and I wanted to stalk to Sean McDermott and I'm
Speaker 13: going to ask him. I sit down with him later
Speaker 13: on today. Matter of fact, And when Josh Allen breaks
Speaker 13: the pocket, it was almost like when Ben used to
Speaker 13: break the pocket. It was like, oh no, here we
Speaker 13: go again. It's street ball. I don't know what's going
Speaker 13: to happen. It's kind of buckle your seatbelt and it's
Speaker 13: just like, oh my god, here he goes again. Just
Speaker 13: don't be careless, don't be reckless, and big players will happen.
Speaker 13: And Troy Paulamalou, he's supposed to playing half the field.
Speaker 13: I see him start to creep up to the wine
Speaker 13: of the screamers. I'm going, is he going to drop
Speaker 13: or not? I don't even know. So I so you
Speaker 13: wonder what goes through your stomach. But I always always
Speaker 13: say great players Troy Paula, Marlou Ben Roethlisberger. You can't
Speaker 13: harness greatness, and sometimes you want that to become an
Speaker 13: unbridled being that they have on that field where they
Speaker 13: can take over a game, and most of the times
Speaker 13: they do. Now, sometimes you're going to live with the
Speaker 13: mistakes that they have and the choices that they make.
Speaker 13: But man, you want these guys on your team, and
Speaker 13: you know through the course of time that their decision
Speaker 13: making is going to be the right thing. But you
Speaker 13: know what, in the meantime, though, you sit there, your
Speaker 13: stomach's turned. You're like a fan, like, oh boy, here
Speaker 13: we go again. I don't know it's going to happen,
Speaker 13: Like that was a great play, Yeah, sure was. So
Speaker 13: you just go do you turn into a fan watching this, go, oh,
Speaker 13: this will be interesting to see what happens here. He's
Speaker 13: running to the right, throwing it back to the left,
Speaker 13: and you know, it's just okay, you know. And sometimes
Speaker 13: those are the plays that you know that win championships
Speaker 13: and win games, and sometimes it's they're not the things
Speaker 13: they make up and it's the players that you entrust
Speaker 13: with the system that they kind of take it to
Speaker 13: another level.
Speaker 3: Safe travels. Thanks for the bibblehead. We appreciate it. Yes,
Speaker 3: thank you, coach.
Speaker 13: Thanks Dan. Always pleasure to be on.
Speaker 3: That's the Hall of Fame. Coach Bill Kellerson in the
Speaker 3: bibblehead wanted to make sure I displayed it here on
Speaker 3: the desk. He's fun. I didn't really know him when
Speaker 3: he was coaching, but he has, you know, subsequently been
Speaker 3: on quite a few times. I think enjoys coming on
Speaker 3: and I just love the stories. Yeah, it's weird.
Speaker 7: He has like a much better personality then you think
Speaker 7: he would based on his demeanor as a coach or something.
Speaker 3: You know, it's like Randy Johnson. Yeah, cause Randy Johnson
Speaker 3: you don't approach, especially on game day, and but then
Speaker 3: he's got he comes on with us, He's got all
Speaker 3: these stories. I'm like, who is this guy? Where was
Speaker 3: this guy? We were talking about the game with the
Speaker 3: Ravens and the Steelers. I have some prop bets here.
Speaker 3: Over under is forty three and a half. Steelers are
Speaker 3: getting nine and a half. It just seems so much
Speaker 3: in a rivalry game. Lamar Jackson over under two hundred
Speaker 3: and sixteen and a half passing yards, surprising Russell Wilson
Speaker 3: Junior the third over under yards, let's go around the room.

Speaker 3: What a great week, What a great week, most must
Speaker 3: win game of the weekend. And we also have to
Speaker 3: write tomorrow's headline today for tonight's game.
Speaker 6: Yes, Paul or MMW, gotw we're thinking about taking Lamar
Speaker 6: Jackson off the board and the Ravens off the board
Speaker 6: because it's too obvious your thoughts, Seaton, Well.
Speaker 7: Aren't all of the playoff games must win? Therefore us
Speaker 7: then too obvious?
Speaker 16: Easy with the logic, Yeah, easy therefore us then well,
Speaker 16: I don't know, if like there's if I said the
Speaker 16: Texans don't win a home game, is there going to
Speaker 16: be fallout from that probably not.
Speaker 3: If the Commanders don't beat the Buccaneers, probably not fall out.
Speaker 3: If Lamar loses a home playoff game and might be
Speaker 3: the MVP, there's perception fallout with that. If Mike Tomlin
Speaker 3: loses a first round game, maybe fall out. Russell will
Speaker 3: Junior the third fallout from the loss.
Speaker 7: Yes, now that was my must win game last week
Speaker 7: was Russell Wilson had to beat the Angels.
Speaker 3: He kind of has to.
Speaker 7: Beat the Ravens then, huh so he has to has
Speaker 7: to be now he really has to must must win.
Speaker 3: Okay, most must win game of the weekend. We've taken
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson off the board. Todd, Let's go around the room.
Speaker 4: Oh, since we're going around the room, I'm gonna say
Speaker 4: that a home game for the possible MVP Josh Allen
Speaker 4: of the Bills. If they fall to Rookie Bownicks and
Speaker 4: the Broncos, a team that just barely made it into
Speaker 4: the playoffs, that would be a disaster.
Speaker 2: If the Bills get bounced at home by Denvi.
Speaker 3: Okay, I think that's a good call, Seaton, Most must
Speaker 3: win game of the weekend.
Speaker 7: Yeah, maybe I stick with Russell Wilson, although I don't.
Speaker 7: If he beats the Ravens, you gotta give him another
Speaker 7: run there, right, heels like I think, Marvin.
Speaker 14: We're gonna go with the Minnesota Vikings fourteen wins this
Speaker 14: year and they're playing a neutral sight game, but they're favored.
Speaker 14: They still have to win. Okay, they do, Okay, Paully
Speaker 14: m m W go ot w. What you say, Ryan
Speaker 14: Day and Ohio State tonight? Oh, clean up on Aisle
Speaker 14: five after the Michigan game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you snuck one in on.
Speaker 8: All goodwill. Now you're expected to win the national title.
Speaker 8: If I said six weeks ago they would be expected
Speaker 8: in national No chance there.
Speaker 3: It's a weird position he's in, my mm W go
Speaker 3: ot w. Just to offer up something different. The Eagles
Speaker 3: at home against the Packers stunt done.
Speaker 16: So.
Speaker 3: The Chargers favored by three, Steelers getting nine and a half,
Speaker 3: Broncos getting eight and a half. As who would have
Speaker 3: thought the Broncos in Buffalo are less of an underdog
Speaker 3: than the Steelers in Baltimore.
Speaker 2: That's kind of insulting, Thank you, Todd.
Speaker 3: The Commanders are getting three, Packers are getting four and
Speaker 3: a half. The Vikings are giving two and a half
Speaker 3: to the Rams. How about we write tomorrow's headline today.
Speaker 3: I told you this last hour. You're not surprised by this.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna let you go last. So tomorrow's headline today
Speaker 3: for tonight's game, todd uh.

Speaker 14: long okay, because we'll Mt. Sladdon couldn't okay, keep.
Speaker 2: Texas out your mouth.

Speaker 7: heard it, longhorns have been herded by the buck eyes.
Speaker 2: There's a smaller fund size. It will fit in the
Speaker 2: back Ron.
Speaker 3: You gave a phony back row laugh.
Speaker 2: I think that I like what it does.

Speaker 17: ready for the pie in the face because the Cavs
Speaker 17: are going to the finals. Also have a quick question, Dan,
Speaker 17: I know that I haven't had that many years in
Speaker 17: the game. As far as some of the other callers,
Speaker 17: what is the criteria to get most valuable caller? Is
Speaker 17: there also? Uh, maybe rookie caller of the year, you
Speaker 17: know coller.
Speaker 3: And be a newcomer of the year. Yeah, newcomer of
Speaker 3: the year. But thank you Dave, thank you yes time.
Speaker 2: What do you got to do is understand the clock,
Speaker 2: and we're wrapping it in so long winded like that,
Speaker 2: you're never gonna get pick.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 8: This day in sports history Todd, lecturing people on being
Speaker 8: long winded. This dance sports history. The Chicago Cubs in
Speaker 8: nineteen sixty three hired an athletic director to work out
Speaker 8: and use weights, first baseball team ever to do so.
Speaker 6: And that's it not so good.
Speaker 3: Nineteen eighty two The Catch Joe Montana Dwight Clark. Also
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty two, the Freezer Bowl. I was there, Bengals Chargers.
Speaker 3: It was a wind show factor of fifty nine degrees,
Speaker 3: almost as cold as the shoulder. I give Fritzy when
Speaker 3: this show is over. Facts Todd, what did you learn?
Speaker 3: Let's go around the room?
Speaker 2: Okay, now we can all we could each. Bill Cower says.
Speaker 4: The rivalry between his Steels and the Ravens probably ramped
Speaker 4: up in the early two thousands when Ray Lewis started doing.
Speaker 3: That dance Seaton nineteen is the new eleven eleven? Marvin?
Speaker 2: Why are you asking me?
Speaker 6: Paul Id just had his first oyster.
