Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Happy New Year. You can say it today
Speaker 1: and then that's it. Is it Happy new Year? Happy
Speaker 1: New Years? Because I thought it was singular? Todd.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you, being the highly educated Danett, I
Speaker 2: would go with happy New Year.
Speaker 3: I'm not one hundred percent sure, but happy new Year.
Speaker 4: It's the new year years.
Speaker 5: I don't know, Okay, where do we get Happy New Years?
Speaker 3: Because like New.
Speaker 6: Year's Eve, so I guess sometimes the apostrophe s gets
Speaker 6: attached further than it should Seaton.
Speaker 5: I think Todd just nailed it.
Speaker 7: I think people say happy New Years because it's a
Speaker 7: New Year's eve, okay, but it's really happy New Year, okay,
Speaker 7: because it's a new year one of them.
Speaker 8: Yes, Paul double checking, Yeah, new Year singular New Year's
Speaker 8: plural is incorrect, grammar wise new Year.
Speaker 2: The Cleveland Browns have a new head coach, Segue Kevin
Speaker 2: Stefanski fired earlier this morning. Also, the Atlanta Falcons need
Speaker 2: a new head coach and a general manager, and Albert Brier,
Speaker 2: the Monday morning quarterback, will stop by in about twenty minutes.
Speaker 2: Any other coaches that could be hanging in the balance
Speaker 2: weather Futures eight seven seven three DP. Show operator Tyler
Speaker 2: sitting by. He'll take your phone calls. Good morning. If
Speaker 2: you're watching on Peacock you get to watch this show.
Speaker 2: Download the app if you haven't done so. Stat of
Speaker 2: the Day is always brought to you by Panini America,
Speaker 2: the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. Pole
Speaker 2: question from hour one, we'll give you the final results,
Speaker 2: and we'll have a new one in an hour two.
Speaker 2: Steve Young a little later on, Gary Danielson, great college
Speaker 2: football analyst, will join us as well. The seating is
Speaker 2: set interesting with the matchups here, and you could see
Speaker 2: where three or four teams are going to win.
Speaker 5: On the road.
Speaker 2: The Rams they are favored by nine and a half
Speaker 2: in Carolina, Packers are favored at the Bears by one
Speaker 2: and a half. The Bills on the road favored by
Speaker 2: one and a half against the Jags, the Texans favored
Speaker 2: by three and a half against the Steelers, the Niners
Speaker 2: on the road getting points three and a half, Chargers
Speaker 2: on the road against the Patriots getting three and a
Speaker 2: half as well. And for entertainment purposes only, in case
Speaker 2: you're following the college football playoffs, Miami is a three
Speaker 2: and a half point favored against Old miss and Indiana
Speaker 2: a four point favorite against Oregon. By the way, the
Speaker 2: new Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham, he'll join us on
Speaker 2: the program tomorrow, talk about that surprise move out of
Speaker 2: nowhere in Michigan. They salvage this. I didn't think they
Speaker 2: were going to. I thought they were going to stay
Speaker 2: with an interim head coach, get through the mess that
Speaker 2: they have in the athletic department, and then you're gonna
Speaker 2: have a lot of people interested in that job. But
Speaker 2: they they got lucky because Kyle Winningham is a as
Speaker 2: respected as any coach in America.
Speaker 5: He will join us coming up.
Speaker 2: We'll ask him how good he is at cleaning up
Speaker 2: messes here because he's got a couple of spills Aisle five,
Speaker 2: Aisle two. But we'll talk to him on the program tomorrow.
Speaker 2: All right, Seaton Poll question results from our one and
Speaker 2: then what are we going with our two?
Speaker 7: Most surprising playoff missed from the AFC Your options Bengals,
Speaker 7: Chiefs Cults Ravens. Right now, the Chiefs have fifty four
Speaker 7: percent of that vote, followed by the Ravens. Okay, Bengals
Speaker 7: it's kind of sad that nobody is surprised that they
Speaker 7: didn't make the playoffs.
Speaker 2: But you know what, Joe Burrow fought to get back
Speaker 2: and they should have been a playoff team when he
Speaker 2: got back. They had time to be a playoff team
Speaker 2: because nobody in the AFC North is good. Pittsburgh just survived,
Speaker 2: and that's where you look at it and you go,
Speaker 2: you guys had a chance here and then losing to
Speaker 2: Cleveland yesterday in dramatic fashion in Cincinnati against Cleveland, and
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow played pretty well, but you know, once again,
Speaker 2: there's no defense there. If you're letting Shador Sanders go
Speaker 2: down the field with a minute to go and get
Speaker 2: in field goal range, that's a bad defense, bad defense.
Speaker 2: And I wonder if Trey Hendrick's and will even be
Speaker 2: there next year. You know, I saw where in once again,
Speaker 2: this is just people throwing things against the wall. Maybe
Speaker 2: Max Crosby in Cincinnati, but I'm Max Crosby and I'm
Speaker 2: not happy with the Raiders. I don't know how happy
Speaker 2: I'm going to be in Cincinnati. But yeah, you start
Speaker 2: to look at these it's easy to look at the
Speaker 2: teams advancing. Sometimes you got to look at the teams
Speaker 2: that didn't advance like Detroit is really interesting from this
Speaker 2: perspective Dan Campbell's future next season, How important will that
Speaker 2: season be for his future? Because they're regressing a little
Speaker 2: bit here. The Browns are going to get a new
Speaker 2: head coach. What are they going to do in the draft?
Speaker 2: You're going to draft a quarterback? You know, the Colt situation.
Speaker 2: They're having their coach, their coaching staff is coming back.
Speaker 2: Riley Leonard looked pretty good. I mean he looked athletic.
Speaker 2: I don't know how good did my voice.
Speaker 9: Go up with that?
Speaker 8: He looked pretty good?
Speaker 2: Hang, yeah, yeah, carried with the forty four year old. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I was gonna say looked athletic. But then you know
Speaker 2: Philip Rivers and then you bring in Riley Leonard, who
Speaker 2: he did okay, you know against a really good defense.
Speaker 5: Yes, Mortvian, you sounded like with somebody asking, oh, how'd
Speaker 5: that girl look? He's nice personality.
Speaker 2: We'll get to your phone calls coming up. Whole question
Speaker 2: for hour two is going to be what, By the way,
Speaker 2: I went to see the movie Marty Supreme with Timothy Challow.
Speaker 2: May I can do a review, maybe a little later.
Speaker 5: On this album.
Speaker 2: Anybody else see Marty Supreme? Oh back Rod Todd Todd
Speaker 2: out to see a movie?
Speaker 5: Is there nudity in it?
Speaker 4: I almost went to see The house Man.
Speaker 3: That's what my wife thought I was gonna pick, but
Speaker 3: I said.
Speaker 6: We'll go see the Ping Pong movie. Went with Shalam and, Uh,
Speaker 6: did you want to say what I thought of it?
Speaker 5: No? No, no, I just asked you that you you
Speaker 5: said you went.
Speaker 6: Yes, And we almost went to see song Sung Blues
Speaker 6: that was a possibility, but we ended up going with
Speaker 6: Shallo May.
Speaker 2: I heard the song Sung Blue is very good with
Speaker 2: Hugh Jackman and uh, what's.
Speaker 5: Your name in the rom com Kate Hudson, Yeah, Kate Hutson.
Speaker 6: And it wasn't about it was about a cover for
Speaker 6: Neil Diamond, Wasn't Some people think it was.
Speaker 3: About like Neil Diamond in his life.
Speaker 6: That's more like the jazz singers, And this was just
Speaker 6: about a cover band for Neil Diamond.
Speaker 2: The husband and wife, yes, and then they go to
Speaker 2: Vegas and they have their their Neil Diamond cover band
Speaker 2: a seat and you saw Timothy Challowy and uh, Marty Supreme.
Speaker 5: That did okay?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we'll give you our opinions our reviews
Speaker 2: coming up a little bit later on.
Speaker 10: Yes, Marv, I did see go I did go see
Speaker 10: The Housemaid? How was that suspenseful?
Speaker 5: Okay? What is it about?
Speaker 10: So it's about a maid that moves in to someone's
Speaker 10: house all other name and the wife played by Amanda
Speaker 10: Sigfried is crazy. And then there's a twist that threw
Speaker 10: me for a loop. My wife had read the book. Marvin,
Speaker 10: we have to go see this movie.
Speaker 9: You want to see it?
Speaker 10: And I say sure, And the twist threw me for
Speaker 10: a loop. It's really good, okay. I liked it all right.
Speaker 2: And your wife's voice is not that deep in my story,
Speaker 2: I know, just like that whenever I hear your wife
Speaker 2: talking when I when I saw at the Christmas party.
Speaker 2: You know, she's a sweet person and I always thinking
Speaker 2: of your deep voice, like she's a smoker.
Speaker 5: Yes, Todd, twist my arm.
Speaker 3: To see Sidney Sweeney on the screen for a couple
Speaker 3: of hours. It's got to be a tough decision to make.
Speaker 5: But you didn't go and see it.
Speaker 6: It didn't because I thought my wife is playing a
Speaker 6: little trick on you to test me.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, no, we don't have to see Sidney Sweeney.
Speaker 3: We'll go see Shallow May play Ping.
Speaker 2: Pong, Timothy Chala May. Yeah, all right, let's see. I
Speaker 2: got a couple other things. You're Super Bowl odds. It's
Speaker 2: just sent over DraftKings, Seahawks, then the Rams, third favorite Broncos.
Speaker 2: Then the Eagles, Eagles and Patriots are tied, followed by
Speaker 2: the Bills, the Jags, the Tes, the Packers, Wow, Bears, Niners, Chargers, Steelers,
Speaker 2: then the Panthers. So Seahawks plus three to fifty, Rams
Speaker 2: plus four twenty five, then the Broncos six fifty, the
Speaker 2: Eagles and Patriots plus nine to fifty, then the Bills
Speaker 2: plus one thousand. Once again, the Jaguars not getting any recognition.
Speaker 2: But you know what, that's good. It's okay. You can
Speaker 2: keep proving us wrong. You did a great job this season.
Speaker 2: Wonderful season. Certainly, Trevor Lawrence look like he's supposed to
Speaker 2: a number one pick overall, a franchise quarterback. But if
Speaker 2: I said Seahawks are the Rams, see it comes down
Speaker 2: to this. I trust Matthew Stafford, that's it. I trust
Speaker 2: Sean McVay. Mike McDonald did a great job just ask
Speaker 2: the Baltimore Ravens. They lost their defensive coordinator and he
Speaker 2: did an unbelievable job with Seattle. But I you know,
Speaker 2: it gets to these moments here, like can I trust
Speaker 2: bow Nicks, I know the Eagles, like Jalen Hurts? I
Speaker 2: can trust in a big game. He's proven that Drake May.
Speaker 2: He's gonna have to show big game. I can win
Speaker 2: the Bills. Josh Allen, you know how much trust do
Speaker 2: you have in Let's just go down the list of
Speaker 2: these quarterbacks. Sam Darnold, No, Matthew Stafford, yes, Bo Nicks, no,
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts, Yes, Drake May not yet Josh Allen, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna say yes, no, No. I think he plays well.
Speaker 2: I don't think his team always plays well. I think
Speaker 2: he I have trust in him. Trevor Lawrence trust, c J. Stroud, trust,
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams, Rock Party, Justin Herbert, Aaron Rodgers, Bryce Young.
Speaker 2: Those are your postseason quarterbacks, guess, Marvin.
Speaker 10: Storyline wise, when we get the San Francisco, what would
Speaker 10: be the dream scenario as far as QB matchup?
Speaker 2: I guess Sam Donald and the Seahawks and the Super
Speaker 2: Bowl would be pretty fascinating Well, for me, I'm just saying,
Speaker 2: with everything that's happened with Sam Darnold and if he's
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl Stafford again, people aren't going to
Speaker 2: want to see the Eagles, Patriots, Bills. It'd be the
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 5: Who would you put in there? How about Bills? Ram?
Speaker 8: Yes, I'm gonna go off the board and it's very unlikely,
Speaker 8: but I would like to see Green Bay Pittsburgh in
Speaker 8: the Super Bowl because two underdogs and put at the
Speaker 8: bed for Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 5: M unlikely. Oh, it is unlikely. Okay? Is there a
Speaker 5: dream match up here?
Speaker 9: Now?
Speaker 2: If I'm programming this? All right, NBC's got Super Bowl,
Speaker 2: so we're programming this. The Bills have to be a.
Speaker 9: Have to be.
Speaker 5: Is there a better story Rams Bills? Maybe a walk
Speaker 5: off with Stafford?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he he was the only reason
Speaker 2: why I didn't pick them to go to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: I thought he can't stay healthy. Now he's going to
Speaker 2: be the MVP, followed by Drey your title ODGS for
Speaker 2: college football, it's Miami second, followed by Oregon and then
Speaker 2: Ole Miss so Indiana plus one thirty. Then it's Miami three.
Speaker 2: Ten Oregon three twenty and then Old Miss plus six
Speaker 2: hundred James in Virginia, James, Happy New.
Speaker 11: Year, Thanks, oh thank you for taking my call. Brother.
Speaker 11: Happy Monday, DP, Dannette, Salute the Commanders, Man, big down
Speaker 11: over the town every time, Man, and happy New Year
Speaker 11: to you guys. Wow, as a football fan, how could
Speaker 11: you not be happy with what we have in store?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 11: The final four in the college football playoffs? Man, I
Speaker 11: called in way back when Old Miss b lsu Askay
Speaker 11: Shambles's this guy is amazing. Just seen him for the
Speaker 11: first time, had no idea about a story, did not
Speaker 11: think they were going to make the run right now
Speaker 11: in the playoffs, but one game away from the national championship.
Speaker 11: That is amazing to me. And then in the NFL, Wow,
Speaker 11: I did not. I ain't been a team with seven
Speaker 11: losses would make it. And outside of the NFC South
Speaker 11: and the AFC North, no other team has six or
Speaker 11: more more than six losses. It's gonna be a great playoff.
Speaker 11: I think your dream scenario would be Bills Bears, and
Speaker 11: I think the Bills have the most pressure on them.
Speaker 11: That game this weekend against Jacksonville, to me, is the
Speaker 11: game of the weekend. I think you could say Niners
Speaker 11: Eagles could be great, but man, the Bills each week?
Speaker 11: Did they stay in it? That pressure is just gonna
Speaker 11: mountain now. But I like to see what happens. Man,
Speaker 11: salute the commanders. Man went off on a W. Man
Speaker 11: went off on the W. You guys have a great day.
Speaker 11: Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 2: All right, love the energy there. It's a gap year
Speaker 2: for you, all right. You know you'll get them next year.
Speaker 2: Gus in La Hi, Gus, best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 9: Good more than mister Patrick. I hope you're in the
Speaker 9: boys had a great break. Larry David says, I'm only
Speaker 9: allowed to have three days to wish you happy New Year,
Speaker 9: so I just wish you boys have a great year.
Speaker 9: What a tale of two weeks. If this phone call
Speaker 9: took place a week ago.
Speaker 12: I was calling in the scorch earth and say everybody's
Speaker 12: got to go, Tomlin's got to go, everybody and coaching
Speaker 12: Steff's gotta go there bye. And then this morning I'm like,
Speaker 12: you know, I mean he can hang around for a.
Speaker 9: Few more weeks. You know, we'll see what happened. Yeah,
Speaker 9: But I mean, truly, I like I don't. I don't
Speaker 9: know anymore.
Speaker 12: Like it's it's I don't know which Steeler team's gonna
Speaker 12: show up. I mean, this team's been blown out this year,
Speaker 12: they've shown up this year. I don't get it. It
Speaker 12: is the most unpredictable year and steal at football. I mean,
Speaker 12: I'm gonna ride it out until the wheels fall off.
Speaker 9: But I don't know. I think this may be Tom
Speaker 9: was last year. You know, we want to game the rap.
Speaker 2: We have problems with the phones today. It feels like
Speaker 2: it that does Chris and Buddha. That might be just
Speaker 2: those guys, and those guys are in California.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe cha.
Speaker 5: All right, thank you get some of your best people
Speaker 5: on that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's nice to say, hey, we're gonna roll with
Speaker 2: Tomlin and the Steelers until well, they lose this next
Speaker 2: game where they're an underdog at home against the Texans.
Speaker 2: That's not gonna go over a while, all right. Albert Breer,
Speaker 2: Monday Morning Quarterback, will join us. Get his thoughts on
Speaker 2: what the Browns did firing Kevin Stefanski, the Falcons moving

Speaker 2: movie review of Marty Supreme with Timothy shallow May. You know,
Speaker 2: I'm watching the movie and all of a sudden, I go,
Speaker 2: that's George Gervin. So Ice Gervin is in the movie.
Speaker 2: I think Tracy McGrady might be in the movie.
Speaker 3: It was like one of the Globe trotters.
Speaker 2: Yeah you're watching you, You're going, that's George Gervin. And
Speaker 2: I know Timothy Shallow May is a big NBA fan
Speaker 2: I don't know if he said to the Saftie brothers, Hey,
Speaker 2: let's put in George Gervin.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I saw an interview while we were on break because
Speaker 7: I don't know if you've caught this, but he's been
Speaker 7: doing interview with Timothy Shallo May.
Speaker 5: But they I forget who's talk about.
Speaker 7: I forget exactly what the question was, but it was
Speaker 7: basically along the lines of, like, what's the best part
Speaker 7: of like your life right now? Are being famous or whatever?
Speaker 7: And he's like, oh, access to the Knicks. Greatest thing
Speaker 7: that's ever happened to me is access to I get
Speaker 7: Nick tickets whenever I want, I could sit, when I
Speaker 7: can talk to whoever I wanted. Access to the Knicks
Speaker 7: is by far the best thing that's happened to me.
Speaker 2: But imagine you're a kid growing up in New York City.
Speaker 2: You're a diehard Knicks fan. Next thing you know, your
Speaker 2: front row Timothy Chela May twenty minutes from now will
Speaker 2: give you our movie review.
Speaker 3: Yes, Tom Kemba Walker was with TMAC playing Harlem Glovester.
Speaker 2: Okay, Oh, that's fun little cameo action there. Albert Brier,
Speaker 2: the Monday Morning Quarterback Senior NFL reporter, We got hat
Speaker 2: Kevin Stefanski fired an hour ago?
Speaker 5: Why was he fired?
Speaker 14: You know, I think it's just like a water under
Speaker 14: the bridge type thing. Dan, They've been through a lot
Speaker 14: together over the last six years. And yeah, this goes back,
Speaker 14: of course to Deshaun Watson tray. They've done a lot
Speaker 14: of good things there. They made the playoffs in twenty
Speaker 14: they made the playoffs in twenty three, you know, and
Speaker 14: they had a really good roster he and he and
Speaker 14: Andrew Berry that they they inherited. Some of those guys
Speaker 14: that they inherited are still there, Miles Garrett, Denzel Ward,
Speaker 14: Joel Atonio.
Speaker 4: Wyatt tell like top shelf guys, you know.
Speaker 14: And you know, I just think like the inability to
Speaker 14: to to really to take the next step was part
Speaker 14: of it, right, and how that all tied to a
Speaker 14: single move. I mean, you think about the damage done
Speaker 14: by the Deshaun Watson trade, right. It kicks your kicks out,
Speaker 14: your ability to draft because you lose three first round picks,
Speaker 14: It kills your salary cap, and it keeps you from
Speaker 14: doing anything else, at least for a short period of
Speaker 14: time to fix the quarterback position. And so I think
Speaker 14: there's an acknowledgment in the building that everybody had their
Speaker 14: hands tied behind their backs because of the trade, and
Speaker 14: everybody's got blood on their hands because of it. I
Speaker 14: just think because of all that history that they had
Speaker 14: had been through and that that Kevin had been through
Speaker 14: with the players, you know, it seems to me like
Speaker 14: Jimmy just made this decision. It's just tough to move
Speaker 14: forward with the status quo. And so I will say this,
Speaker 14: it's going to be tough to find a better one
Speaker 14: than Kevin Stefanski. And I think everybody's gonna find out
Speaker 14: over the next two or three days how much the
Speaker 14: rest of the league thanks to Stefanski with the amount
Speaker 14: of interest he's going to get from other teams.
Speaker 2: Is there a chance Deshaun Watson's the starting quarterback for
Speaker 2: the Browns next year?
Speaker 4: I mean, I think it's impossible. It's impossible to know
Speaker 4: for sure until we know who the coach is.
Speaker 5: Right, But he's healthy and under contract.
Speaker 4: I mean that's the thing.
Speaker 14: Like, so you've already so we already know that they're
Speaker 14: going to pay to Shaun Watson forty six million dollars
Speaker 14: for next year, right if they cut him somebody would
Speaker 14: sign him for the minimum, and so it would be
Speaker 14: forty five.
Speaker 4: It'd be like forty five million dollars.
Speaker 14: You know, So you're already sinking that into it. You've
Speaker 14: already sunk three first round picks into him.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 14: I I think the worst thing for the Browns at
Speaker 14: this point would be feeling like all right, like you know,
Speaker 14: we're gonna move on, and then having him go have
Speaker 14: great success somewhere else. So I could certainly see the
Speaker 14: logic and like saying, like, you know, we're paying them anyway,
Speaker 14: we might as well bring him back.
Speaker 4: Here's the one caveat to that.
Speaker 14: The one caveat to that for me would be if
Speaker 14: you are going to go all in on a young quarterback, right,
Speaker 14: and if there's somebody and I can't remember where they're
Speaker 14: pick is, you have it in front of you, Dan,
Speaker 14: it's I think there's four or five somewhere in there,
Speaker 14: and right, they're not five, the Giants are five, but
Speaker 14: there's somewhere in there six, six, Okay.
Speaker 4: So like let's say they decide.
Speaker 14: We're going to go all in them for Nato Mendoza
Speaker 14: or Dante more and somehow they get in position to
Speaker 14: draft one of them, then I can see where it's like, Okay,
Speaker 14: it's just not worth it having that around, you know
Speaker 14: what I mean, like having kind of the ghost of
Speaker 14: quarterbacks past here in the building, you know, and you
Speaker 14: want to go with a clean slate for your young quarterback.
Speaker 14: But if the plan is to go and bring in
Speaker 14: you know, Kirk Cousins to compete with Shador Sanders and
Speaker 14: Dylan Gabriel and next year, if it's something like that,
Speaker 14: then I don't I'm not sure I see the harm
Speaker 14: in taking one more swing at it with Deshaun Watson
Speaker 14: just to make sure you got that wrong.
Speaker 4: Even as every indication is that you have gotten wrong.
Speaker 14: And my understanding is just in the in the in
Speaker 14: the in the near term, like he's actually been pretty good,
Speaker 14: you know, in the.
Speaker 4: Building and and and and and and.
Speaker 14: Throw his rehab over the course of this season, So
Speaker 14: that would be the logic and taking a swing at it,
Speaker 14: and that you've already sunk so much into it, you're
Speaker 14: already paying him for next year, so why not give
Speaker 14: it a run again? To me, like the one or
Speaker 14: the one, the one, the one caveat there would be
Speaker 14: if you've got a young quarterback that you want to
Speaker 14: go all in on. You might want to take him
Speaker 14: out of the equation just to give the new guy
Speaker 14: a clean environment.
Speaker 5: Better opening. Atlanta or Cleveland.
Speaker 4: You know, it depends on what you think of Michael Pennix,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean?
Speaker 14: Like I I you know, you you would think that
Speaker 14: whoever's coming in there is going to have at least
Speaker 14: a year, maybe two years with Pennix.
Speaker 4: They both have pretty solid young cores. I think, you know,
Speaker 4: you look at Atlanta.
Speaker 14: A good veteran offensive line, one of the best players
Speaker 14: in all football in any position in b John Robinson.
Speaker 14: I don't know if Kyle Pitts will be there, but
Speaker 14: it looks like he turned a corner. You've got some
Speaker 14: young pieces on defense that you like that you might like,
Speaker 14: you know, and the young pass rushers, you know, Walker
Speaker 14: and Pierce that you drafted in the first round last year.
Speaker 4: But you don't have a first round pick, And.
Speaker 14: I think I probably maybe lean Cleveland because you get
Speaker 14: to do your thing at quarterback, right so you get
Speaker 14: to make your decision at quarterback. You've got that great
Speaker 14: young draft class, and all those guys are going to
Speaker 14: be on rookie contracts for the next few years, and
Speaker 14: Mason Graham and Carson Swessinger and Harold Finn and the
Speaker 14: two running backs Judkins and Samson, and.
Speaker 4: You have two first round picks.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 14: I mean, so you've got the ability to kind of
Speaker 14: build there with the core. You have a couple of
Speaker 14: older pieces in Warden Garrett. I might lean Cleveland, but
Speaker 14: it's close. There's there that that's not a bear cupboard
Speaker 14: in either place.
Speaker 2: Albert Brier, the Monday Morning quarterback, he's senior NFL reporter.
Speaker 5: What should Vegas do?
Speaker 14: Well, I think, you know, I'd be surprised if Pete
Speaker 14: Carroll made it the day. You know, I think Vegas
Speaker 14: needs to figure out how they're going to be set
Speaker 14: up going forward. You know, I think Tom Brady's got
Speaker 14: to learn how to run a football team. And it
Speaker 14: sounds weird coming from.
Speaker 4: Me, you know what I mean. It's the greatest player
Speaker 4: of all time.
Speaker 14: So I don't want to sound like like I don't
Speaker 14: want to sound like an idiot saying that, but I
Speaker 14: do think that there's parts of.
Speaker 4: It that you know, people who work there, so.
Speaker 5: There's a difference between running and all different.
Speaker 14: Yeah, John Elway, I get just tell you this John
Speaker 14: Elway when he got back to Denver.
Speaker 4: In twenty and eleven.
Speaker 14: He eventually became kind of difficult to work for, But
Speaker 14: at the beginning, like they were a very real acknowledgment
Speaker 14: on John's part of of what he didn't know, you know,
Speaker 14: like and he really rolled his sleeves up and learned
Speaker 14: how to how to scout and how to evaluate and
Speaker 14: like that. You know, that isn't as simple as like, yeah, well,
Speaker 14: I you know, I played in the league for a
Speaker 14: couple of decades, so I have an idea of.
Speaker 4: What I'm looking at.
Speaker 14: Of course you do, but it's not the same things
Speaker 14: as building a team and managing a football operation, you know,
Speaker 14: so you know it's going going forward. What's you know,
Speaker 14: what's his role in all of that is, is he
Speaker 14: committed to learning to run the show Because a lot
Speaker 14: of people there refer to him as as the boss,
Speaker 14: you know, whether you know he's there day to day
Speaker 14: or not, and he's not their day to day. A
Speaker 14: lot of people there look at him as the boss
Speaker 14: of the football operation. So there's that piece of it.
Speaker 14: You know, how does Alex Guerrero fit into that. There's
Speaker 14: a bunch of people in that building who report Alex Guerrero.
Speaker 14: How does you know John Spytech, the general manager, I
Speaker 14: you know, I expect he'll be back, you know, what's
Speaker 14: his role in picking the coach? And and then how
Speaker 14: does the coach fit into the hosaic of all of that?
Speaker 14: You know, I think like a huge part of the
Speaker 14: issue this year was they kind of pieced everything together right,
Speaker 14: like so it was like, all right, like, let's put
Speaker 14: together an all star staff, Like we love Packgram as
Speaker 14: the DC.
Speaker 4: He's going to work with Pete Carroll.
Speaker 14: Who, by the way, is run a completely different defensive system.
Speaker 14: And now like let's go get Chip Kelly out of
Speaker 14: Ohio state for six million dollars per year and let's
Speaker 14: show our might and we can go and get these
Speaker 14: sorts of guys.
Speaker 4: Now it's a new day for the Raiders. Well, how
Speaker 4: did all those pieces fit together?
Speaker 6: You know?
Speaker 14: I think that's the biggest piece of this is like,
Speaker 14: so now with Tom Brady, you know, you know, ostensibly
Speaker 14: like the guy who is in charge, how what does
Speaker 14: that look like going forward?
Speaker 4: And how do all those pieces fit together?
Speaker 14: To me, that's the biggest piece of what I think
Speaker 14: will be a coaching search coming up here. In the
Speaker 14: next few days and weeks is like, how does the
Speaker 14: coach fit into what you've built? Otherwise, are you reconfiguring
Speaker 14: anything any of what you've.
Speaker 4: Already got there?
Speaker 14: And there are big picture questions that the Raiders need
Speaker 14: to answer and obviously a very very big decision coming
Speaker 14: in April when it comes to what to.
Speaker 2: Do with the first overall pick Tom Brady a better
Speaker 2: broadcaster or owner broadcaster?
Speaker 4: Now, i'd say, I mean, we'll see as ownership.
Speaker 14: I mean, I would say, there are there are so
Speaker 14: many people that have been so intelligent that have been
Speaker 14: humbled moving into ownership roles. You know, you know, I
Speaker 14: always get that question, like how can this guy who
Speaker 14: built this empire in business? And I know what he's
Speaker 14: doing in football. I'm sure you have too, right, Like
Speaker 14: I get that question. It's not the same thing.
Speaker 2: It's like the Mets owner. He just thinks I can
Speaker 2: buy I buy everything right. In the NFL, you can't
Speaker 2: buy everything right.
Speaker 14: And and a lot of them get humbled. I mean,
Speaker 14: every one of them comes in and we're going to
Speaker 14: be the Microsoft in football, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 14: and we're going to reinvent everything. And that's why you
Speaker 14: see so many of these owners like stock up on
Speaker 14: analytics when they first, you know, get in the role.
Speaker 14: It's like, oh, all of these idiots like are hiring
Speaker 14: gym teachers and we're going to do it a different way. Well,
Speaker 14: like there's an art to how this whole thing works
Speaker 14: and how you put the whole thing together, and it's
Speaker 14: not as easy. It's just saying I'm gonna throw money
Speaker 14: at the problem and I'm going to apply the lessons
Speaker 14: I learned in.
Speaker 4: My other business. This is a unique business, you know.
Speaker 14: So like I do think like Tom's got some some
Speaker 14: I think he's he's he's got some He's got a
Speaker 14: lot to learn when it comes to to being in
Speaker 14: that role top you know, an organization, and you know
Speaker 14: Mark Davis has empowered him to be a big voice
Speaker 14: in that organization. He's gotta he's got to find his voice.
Speaker 14: I actually think he's gotten really good at broadcasting too. Dan,
Speaker 14: Like I I was skeptical at first, Like I thought
Speaker 14: is as great as he is, Like you know, he
Speaker 14: I think at the beginning was like a little and
Speaker 14: I'm not you know, I guess we you know, if
Speaker 14: you I don't know, if you want the media conversation here.
Speaker 14: But he's a little he could be a little stiff
Speaker 14: that first year, and I think he's really kind of
Speaker 14: found his way with that, you know, like I think
Speaker 14: he's gotten really really good at calling games.
Speaker 2: I don't even notice it anymore, Like I don't really
Speaker 2: care who's doing a game, you know, I used to,
Speaker 2: you know, where it was mad and doing it. It
Speaker 2: just feels like there's, you know, this plethora of football
Speaker 2: that they're just a lot of voices that are there.
Speaker 2: Now there's some that do it better than others. But
Speaker 2: I'm not watching. I couldn't tell you what game Tom
Speaker 2: did this weekend.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, look, that's the thing for me too.
Speaker 14: It's like I'll get a better idea of the whole
Speaker 14: thing when we get to the playoffs.
Speaker 4: I'm following so much.
Speaker 14: I mean, I honestly like I have a better idea
Speaker 14: of how you know, herb Street and Collinsworth an Aikman
Speaker 14: call a game just because they're standalone games. Like there's
Speaker 14: just I'm paying attention to too much, like in those
Speaker 14: one o'clock at four o'clock windows on Sunday, So it's
Speaker 14: hard for me to really dive in.
Speaker 4: But what I have seen a Brady. It does seem
Speaker 4: like he's gotten really good.
Speaker 14: And I I, you know, I remember hearing this a
Speaker 14: couple of years ago that he was studying Johnny Miller
Speaker 14: and trying to learn how to be critical, and I
Speaker 14: thought that was really interesting. You know, So I do
Speaker 14: think he's taking the job seriously.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know, I talked to somebody who's friends
Speaker 2: with him, and he even said, hey, would you talk to Tom?
Speaker 2: I said, Tom doesn't need my input, and then he said, well,
Speaker 2: what would you tell him? I would say, don't try
Speaker 2: to be too structural, like like, this is fun, have fun,
Speaker 2: you know, pick your spots, you know, say what you
Speaker 2: need to say, give us insight, tell us things that
Speaker 2: we don't know. We don't a lot of times I
Speaker 2: found out that these guys who played don't know that
Speaker 2: we don't know something, and they'll be like, oh you
Speaker 2: know this, Oh you know what watch that.
Speaker 5: I would never think that.
Speaker 2: And I think the more that Tom doesn't sound try
Speaker 2: to sound like an analyst, the better that he'll be
Speaker 2: like you know, Collinsworth and Herb Street, Aikman, Tony, you know,
Speaker 2: they kind of go, you know what, I'm just going
Speaker 2: to be myself, and that's really hard to do. They
Speaker 2: tell people in this business, just be yourself. Yeah, I've
Speaker 2: been working for forty years trying to figure out who
Speaker 2: I am, So I can't expect Tom to be himself.
Speaker 2: He may not know who he is as a person
Speaker 2: in the spotlight.
Speaker 14: I'm with you because I remember when I started doing TV,
Speaker 14: you know, twenty years ago. I remember somebody telling me
Speaker 14: you want to be almost like one and a half
Speaker 14: of yourself, and so then there's a tendency to get
Speaker 14: out there and be mister announcer guy with everything and
Speaker 14: try to enunciate everything correctly and all that different stuff.
Speaker 14: And you know, I sort of like I tell younger
Speaker 14: people now who ask me, I'm like, there'll be a
Speaker 14: point when you feel like mister announcer guy, and then
Speaker 14: there'll be a point when you're talking to a camera
Speaker 14: and you.
Speaker 4: Start to feel like yourself.
Speaker 14: And I feel like that's when you're starting to get
Speaker 14: it right, Like when you're doing both when it's like, yeah,
Speaker 14: I'm not talking like i'd normally be talking to my friends,
Speaker 14: but I do sound like myself.
Speaker 4: Does that make sense?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: In my job, part of my job is to make
Speaker 2: you forget that you're on tea or on radio, which
Speaker 2: you're pretty good. So we just have a conversation like that.
Speaker 2: That's the goal each time, all right, before I let
Speaker 2: you go other possible openings.
Speaker 14: Yeah, so, you know, I think the Dolphins want to
Speaker 14: move forward with Mike McDaniel. I know, their meeting and
Speaker 14: recapping the season here today. I don't anticipate anything today,
Speaker 14: but in the next couple of days, you know, I
Speaker 14: think they'll make that decision.
Speaker 4: And you know, they're going to have a little bit.
Speaker 14: Of a different structure of Brandon Shore has been elevated there.
Speaker 14: He's you know, he's reporting directly to ownership. That's their
Speaker 14: cap guy. So they're gonna have like sort of a
Speaker 14: three headed monster, or they're gonna hire the new GM
Speaker 14: will be a scouting.
Speaker 5: Type and they'll move on from TUA in Miami.
Speaker 4: I think that's that's likely. Yeah, I think that's likely.
Speaker 14: I do think McDaniel's fate could be tied and at
Speaker 14: least in some way to maybe what's available out there.
Speaker 14: You know, does Stefanski is now available? Does John Harbaugh
Speaker 14: become available? So that's something and I'm just kind of
Speaker 14: like looking through some my notes.
Speaker 5: Just John Harball become available, I.
Speaker 14: Think that's a little bit of a coin flip right now.
Speaker 4: You know, I think you have those discussions.
Speaker 14: I wouldn't move on from him if I were the Ravens,
Speaker 14: but I would say this. I had people there tell
Speaker 14: me that they believe this is the best roster they'd
Speaker 14: ever had going into the season, that level of expectation
Speaker 14: with the team. You've got a looming contract negotiation with
Speaker 14: Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 4: There's just a.
Speaker 14: Lot to sort through and digging out from underneath the
Speaker 14: season there, And you know, I think that that provokes
Speaker 14: those big picture questions. So I wouldn't say I'm one
Speaker 14: hundred percent one way or the other on the Ravens.
Speaker 14: The Cardinals, I'd expect they're going to hang on to
Speaker 14: their general manager, Monty Ausin for it. They really like
Speaker 14: Jonathan Gannon, their head coach. Obviously, they end the season
Speaker 14: the way they've ended, which I don't think they've won
Speaker 14: a game since September October.
Speaker 5: But you know, I think and they move on from
Speaker 5: Kyler Murray as well.
Speaker 14: I think, well, I think with Gannon, the thing is
Speaker 14: like I think it may come down to and Gannon's
Speaker 14: are really loyal guy. I wonder if they ask him
Speaker 14: to make changes on his coaching staff and that leads
Speaker 14: to something. You know, we've seen that before, so you know,
Speaker 14: does does does does he go down with the ship?
Speaker 14: I think that that's a fair question. Kyler Murray's future
Speaker 14: is certainly tied to all of that.
Speaker 2: You know as well, and about real quick before I
Speaker 2: before I have to go more likely to move on
Speaker 2: from their team Harball and Baltimore or Tomlin in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 14: Right now because the Steelers are in I would say
Speaker 14: Harbaugh in Baltimore.
Speaker 5: But if they lose that game at home, it's weird
Speaker 5: they make that Ki.
Speaker 14: They made the thing about here's the thing about the
Speaker 14: Steelers though, Dan.
Speaker 4: The Steelers have TJ.
Speaker 14: Watt, Cam Hayward, Jalen Ramsey, Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4: All these guys are older players, right.
Speaker 14: And so a pretty pretty substantial reset is coming. That's
Speaker 14: when that conversation happens, Right, Like, dude, does Mike Tomlin want.
Speaker 4: To go through a two or a three or four rebuild?
Speaker 9: Right?
Speaker 14: Do the Stealer see him as the voice they want
Speaker 14: in there leading that rebuild? If you're tom when do
Speaker 14: you look at it and say what I do. Do
Speaker 14: I want to do that or do I want to
Speaker 14: take a year in TV and then maybe go to
Speaker 14: a situation in twenty seven that's a little bit more
Speaker 14: ready made because their season is still going on. I
Speaker 14: don't think they fully confronted those questions, you know, I
Speaker 14: think both are you know I again like I those
Speaker 14: are two more where I just I think, you know,
Speaker 14: Baltimore and Pittsburgh are both a little bit up in
Speaker 14: the air.
Speaker 4: But that's what you get when.
Speaker 14: Guys have been in those positions for as long as
Speaker 14: John and Mike have been.
Speaker 5: Thank you, Bud. I appreciate Albert.
Speaker 2: That's Albert Breer. Monday Morning quarterback Matt Ryan. It looks
Speaker 2: like there's a chance that he is going to join
Speaker 2: the Falcons. I believe Jay Glazer from Fox Sports is
Speaker 2: reporting this. This has been in the works here for
Speaker 2: a little while. Adam Schefter reporting Atlanta expected to hire
Speaker 2: Matt Ryan as the new president of football operations.
Speaker 5: Well take a break. We will give you our best.
Speaker 2: And worst of the weekend and a movie review of
Speaker 2: Marty Supreme with Timothy Shallma.
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
Speaker 1: dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to
Speaker 1: listen live.
Speaker 5: Best and worst of the weekend, Todd, I'll start with you.
Speaker 3: Best.
Speaker 6: The Seahawks defense Saturday night in Santa Clara, allowing just
Speaker 6: one hundred and seventy three total yards, which is the
Speaker 6: Niners fewest in a regular season game since Kyle Shanahan
Speaker 6: took over his head coach in twenty seventeen. Also three points,
Speaker 6: they're fewest since they scored that a mountain Shanahan's.
Speaker 3: Coaching debut with the Niners.
Speaker 6: Seattle kept them to just nine first downs, none in
Speaker 6: the first quarter, but that was pretty presive.
Speaker 3: Worst.
Speaker 6: I know that QB got banged up Ty Simpsons a
Speaker 6: little bit, but Alabama losing thirty eight to three.
Speaker 2: Yikes, Saint No Connor. Best and worst. I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: two bests. My best from last night. Actually both of
Speaker 2: them are from the same game. Now I think about it,
Speaker 2: Mike Tico, I thought had a great game last night.
Speaker 2: He did really well, and he matched that. There are
Speaker 2: only a few times where I think that you could
Speaker 2: say a broadcaster helped make the game better. I feel
Speaker 2: like Mike Erico really did that.
Speaker 5: Yes, he did.
Speaker 2: He and Chris were kind of trying to make that
Speaker 2: an interesting game for three quarters and then all of
Speaker 2: a sudden and Mike match the moment there at the
Speaker 2: very end with do we have his call of the
Speaker 2: field goal?
Speaker 5: Marvin or was that on our play.
Speaker 3: Of the day.
Speaker 10: That's our play of the day. And also that was
Speaker 10: the Pittsburgh Steelers' home call.
Speaker 5: Oh okay, all right, and your other besters, see, oh.
Speaker 7: My other bester was Mike Tomlin and Aaron Rodgers. That
Speaker 7: was kind of awesome. I really feel like they, like
Speaker 7: you said, they both sort of needed that win. Yeah,
Speaker 7: maybe they both overperformed a little bit there too, but
Speaker 7: that felt good to see.
Speaker 2: If Matt Ryan is going to go to the Falcons
Speaker 2: and be their president and football operations, there's a chair
Speaker 2: open on the NFL today on CBS. You could have
Speaker 2: Bill Kauer and Mike Tomlin on there, Nate burleson.
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers in that slot too. I mean, next year,
Speaker 5: Marvin beston works to the weekend, all.
Speaker 10: Right, best of the weekend. Former Bears legend Mitch Trubisky,
Speaker 10: who's now the Bills starting quarterback or backup quarterback twenty
Speaker 10: two to twenty nine, two hundred and fifty nine yards,
Speaker 10: four touchdowns. Worst of the weekend. We touched on this earlier.
Speaker 10: The Jets just finished out their season horrendous, thirty five
Speaker 10: to eight. Like you said, first team in NFL history
Speaker 10: to not have an interception during the season, not even
Speaker 10: like a.
Speaker 5: Tip over five hundred pounds, no rcis not even.
Speaker 2: That I know receiver caused interception, all right, Paul beston worse.
Speaker 8: I'm gonna go back a few days. Ole miss quarterback
Speaker 8: Trinidad chambliss Man. He was a magician and saved that
Speaker 8: game against the Georgia Bulldogs. And the other best of
Speaker 8: the weekend. Just last night, a really good game, the
Speaker 8: Division III National title game. The heavyweight North Central out
Speaker 8: of Naperville, Illinois lost. Believe or not too uw River Falls,
Speaker 8: Wisconsin River Falls. They got further than ever the their
Speaker 8: coach have been there a long time. He got them
Speaker 8: their first ever national title.
Speaker 2: All right, Marty Supreme. I went to see it, Todd
Speaker 2: went to see it. Seaton went to see it, not
Speaker 2: at the same time. And it is a ping pong movie.
Speaker 2: It is a sports movie, I guess. And Timothy Shallomy
Speaker 2: is the star of that, Todd give your review.
Speaker 6: I thought it was compelling and kept my interest, but
Speaker 6: I found it at times a bit too odd, as
Speaker 6: if the producer and directors were trying too hard to
Speaker 6: stand out among other films to hope to win awards
Speaker 6: of some sort. That's just how I experience it, and
Speaker 6: it's been a lot of ping pong to watch Seaton.
Speaker 7: I thought it was awesome, awesome, one of the most
Speaker 7: unique movies I've ever seen, borderline brilliant. Yes, I think
Speaker 7: it takes Timothy shallow May to a whole other level
Speaker 7: of actor.
Speaker 2: There is no doubt about his ability. No doubt because
Speaker 2: he's not a good guy in this movie. There aren't
Speaker 2: too many good guys in this movie. But it's shot
Speaker 2: in a way one of the Saftie brothers. Just the
Speaker 2: way it looks is different. I thought they could have
Speaker 2: cut out twenty minutes and I wouldn't have missed it.
Speaker 2: But there are some pretty crazy moments, fun moments. It
Speaker 2: almost felt like the Cohen Brothers. If you're you know,
Speaker 2: fans of the Cohen Brothers, the Saffee Brothers feel like
Speaker 2: they're the modern day incarnation of them.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Seen, it feels like if you took Uncut Gems and
Speaker 7: mashed it with Forrest Gump.
Speaker 2: This is the movie that would come out all.
Speaker 7: Right, like it never from the moment like in Uncut Gems.
Speaker 7: It's constant tension. It never takes its foot off the gas.
Speaker 7: From the beginning scene to the very end, there's never
Speaker 7: any moments that are down or not full of tension.
Speaker 7: And somehow this dude lives a life that you're like,
Speaker 7: what the heck?
Speaker 5: And it's based on a true story.
Speaker 2: Loosely based on a true story, but it is every
Speaker 2: bit of two and a half hours. But you know
Speaker 2: it'll keep your attention. There are times where you go,
Speaker 2: I don't know what that scene had to do with anything,
Speaker 2: but I thought, you know, he'll be nominated for an
Speaker 2: Academy Award.
Speaker 5: I don't think there's any question about that.
Speaker 2: And maybe he's gonna single handedly bring ping pong back, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 8: Like Rounders with poker?
Speaker 5: Maybe is this the greatest ping king pen?
Speaker 9: Right?
Speaker 5: You know bowling?
Speaker 8: Can you guys say this is the greatest ping pong
Speaker 8: movie of all time?
Speaker 5: Forrest Gump does play ping pong.
Speaker 8: I found five other ping pong movies, Balls of Fury,
Speaker 8: Ping Pong, Summer, Top Spin, and King of Ping Pong,
Speaker 8: and as one, I found seven different ping pong related movies.
Speaker 2: I would like to see Forrest Gump against Timothy Schalome
Speaker 2: Marty Supreme, because I would take Forrest Gump, but the
Speaker 2: actual the guy that he competes with, Japanese player is actually,
Speaker 2: I believe, a world class ping pong player in real life.
Speaker 2: So I would say that the collective here says thumbs
Speaker 2: up for Marty Supreme. It was very good, very good.
Speaker 2: I thought he was great. I thought the movie was good.
Speaker 2: I don't know if there'll be a sequel. Marty's Supremer
Speaker 2: Final Hour. On the way Steve Young will stop by
Speaker 2: the great college football analyst Gary Danielson and more phone
Speaker 2: calls best and worst of the weekend Final Hour.
Speaker 5: Right after this
