WEBVTT - Hour 3 - NFL Offense, Mike Florio 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:10.119 Sports Radio fifteen years ago. Fifteen years ago. We started 0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:14.640 this show fifteen years ago. Today, how do we celebrate 0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:19.040 the trigger grills are fired up? When we got some sliders? 0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:23.200 And Fritzie's not here today, he's observing the religious holiday. 0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:28.080 So who's got it better than we do? Nobody? Yeah, 0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:31.800 not fritz Who was the guest list first day, first day, 0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:34.440 first day? Now we did that on the road. We 0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:37.440 were at KLAC that first week, weren't we That's right. 0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:39.480 I don't have the guest list I got for that week. 0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:42.240 I know we had Phil Jackson on, David Beckham. David 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:44.920 Beckham was on that week. The biggest stories in sports 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:48.240 that week were there was a Colorado Rockies game where 0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:50.600 there's a play at the plate. I was like Twitzki 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:54.000 or someone or Matt Holliday the tag the tag. Yeah, 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:56.080 And that was the lead story day one on air. 0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:59.160 The other big story was the Lakers were considering trading 0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:02.600 Kobe Bryant to the Bulls. Yeah. And there's rumors that 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:05.320 Kobe wanted this trade. Yes, And at the sticking point 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:07.959 was that the Bulls didn't want to give up Ben Gordon. Yeah, 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:09.960 those are the two biggest stories. Our first week on 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:13.640 air fifteen years ago, Yeah, seton Ben Gordon Trade. I 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:17.520 remember that whole week. Yeah, so fifteen years ago, and 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:22.800 we're in my attic and we weren't buttoned up. So 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.080 week one we did it in La and then we 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:28.160 came back and I took two bedrooms that weren't being 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:30.399 used up in my attic, and then the Danets would 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:34.200 come up the back door, backstaircase, and my wife would 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:36.040 be there with four kids trying to get him out 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:39.319 the door. And Seaton was I didn't know if you 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:42.360 were technically savvy enough to be doing what you were doing, 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:46.160 but you certainly looked like you were. And then Paulie 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:52.360 was running the show. Fritzie mclovin wasn't even there. Fritzie 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.080 got there, I think a couple of weeks later, because 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.440 I was trying to get him from the mothership. He 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:01.160 and he was booking guests for US. I can certainly 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:04.240 say it now, Fritzie was booking guests for ESPN shows, 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.640 but he was also booking guests for my show because 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:09.519 he had to wait like two weeks before he was 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:11.480 going to join us. Yes, one thing that was a 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:13.639 big deal is remember this is fall of oh seven 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:17.520 mls and just brought in David Beckham. And Beckham hadn't 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.880 done any American radio interviews. He don't like the Today Show, 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:22.600 but you know he was that big at the time, 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:26.519 and Fritzie got Beckham to do us and not Mike 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.200 and Mike and the other shows there. I remember Fritzie 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.320 is saying, don't let Dan say on the air, good 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.120 job Fritzie getting Devid Beckham or something like that. No, 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.480 it's rare when I would say good job Fritzie on 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:38.880 the air. I do remember Beckham called in and your 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:40.720 interview him and one of the questions you say, how'd 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.079 you get the nickname Golden Balls? Because well, I'll tell 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:44.760 you Danny, he walked you through it. Yeah, it was 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:47.560 pretty funny. And he was there and he said that 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.280 you know, Posh was there with him, and they were 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.440 they were at the kitchen table getting the kids breakfast. Though. 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:58.480 So week one, fifteen years ago, and thank you to 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:02.480 all the affiliates, certainly KLAC and Don Martin and his 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:08.480 staff for embracing us and been a long long run 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:12.360 here fifteen years. I think Florio was a lawyer. When 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.040 we first started fifteen years ago, you were is that right? 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:16.799 And you were a lawyer. You weren't even in this 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.680 business fifteen years ago. I was in the business. I 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.800 was practicing law, and I was in the business. You 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:26.919 started inviting me on foolishly about fifteen years or so ago, 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:30.639 and I remember when you left the Mothership, Fritzie would 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:33.280 invite me on and I still didn't quite understand why. 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.400 But yeah, I was doing both jobs kind of full 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.839 time until NBC came along in two thousand and nine, 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:41.160 and that's when I escaped the practice of law forever. 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:44.680 He's Mike Florio. He runs the website Pro Football Talk 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:48.400 also Pro Football Talk Live with Chris Simms that precedes 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.480 our show on the program all Right, Recamp the Week. 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:57.200 What has stood out so far since Sunday's games Monday's games, Well, 0:03:57.560 --> 0:03:59.560 I know what stood out to me. It's not standing 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.640 out to the NFL or the NFL Players Association, But Dan, 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:04.720 we're still in the aftermath of this to a Tonga 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.560 Balow situation, and we were horrified by what we saw 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:10.160 on Thursday night. We were stupefied by what we saw 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:12.920 the prior Sunday and then Sunday night, Cameron Brad to 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:16.720 the Buccaneers, slams his head into Chris Godwin, lands on 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:19.760 the ground, struggles to his feet, runs off the field. 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:23.880 Two plays later, he's back in, maybe three, however many 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:26.800 plays it was. He's back in without ever being checked 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:29.120 for a concussion. They check him in halftime. He's got 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:32.200 a concussion. He's out for the game. And the league's position, 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:34.679 and the Union's position is the spotters who were paid 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:38.839 to be monitoring the activity believe that Cameron Brad clearly 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:42.320 hit his shoulder, not his head. Our lying eyes would 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:45.159 say otherwise. And it's amazing to me that of all 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.720 the times that the NFL should be as buttoned up 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:52.640 as it could be when it comes to flagging potential concussions, 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.760 it would be in the first primetime game played after 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.720 the primetime game in which we were horrified by the 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.560 sight of two a toungala loo in the fencing posture 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:03.760 and stretch it off the field and Dan, what's going 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.320 to happen is it's getting brushed under the rug. It's 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:08.560 all going away. But it's a sign that there are 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.719 real issues still with the NFL's concussion protocol. Maybe issues 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:14.719 they can never fix, but this one is not going 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:18.800 to be given any time of day. They don't want 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.279 any more heat in a hot kitchen. They're already dealing 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.400 with enough with Tua. They're just going to pretend this 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:25.960 thing didn't happen even though it did. That is amazing 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:27.640 to me. And they're in a damn thing we can 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:30.680 do about it other than say this is amazing. I 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.680 can't believe they're doing. And I was told yesterday that 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.680 now they're going to go the opposite. There's going to 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:41.760 be an overreaction, over correction with protocol that is going 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:45.960 to happen probably later this week. And also, you know, 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.960 the Dolphins doctor is not checking Ta for the concussion. 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.600 He's checking him for the back. So the neurologists paid 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:56.159 the price by saying, hey doesn't have a concussion. You know, 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:59.000 the Dolphins doctor got off here like all right, you 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.120 checked him for his back, which is supposed to be 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.159 the reason why he stumbled a couple of times, and 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.599 then you put him back into the game. It felt 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:09.200 like somebody had to pay the price, this unnamed deurologist, 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:11.359 because I was told that the NFL didn't want to 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.440 embarrass him by mentioning his name that he lost his job. 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:18.760 But that's sort of what's playing out here and will 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:21.200 over the next day or two. But it's right and 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:24.640 we should be getting some sort of an answer. We've 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:28.800 been promised transparency. Now how accurate will the information be? 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:30.640 I don't know. And Dan, one of the big questions 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.080 is whether or not anybody even looked at the video 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:36.160 of Tuton of Ilois stumbling and being held up by 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:39.599 a teammate. The protocol requires the doctors to review the video. 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:43.200 I can't get anyone to tell me with any degree 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:46.479 of certainty that they actually did. And as I've said 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:48.840 this in written it, no one has contacted me and said, hey, 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:51.080 you're barking up the wrong tree here, and trust me, 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.640 they're not bashful about telling me that if they think 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:55.880 I'm barking up the wrong tree. Nobody has said you 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.920 should quit talking about the possibility they didn't watch the video. 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.200 But how astounding would that be? And Dan, here's what 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:02.520 I think it all comes back to. And this is 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.240 going to piss people off at three forty five Park Avenue, 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:06.839 but I think this is the fundamental truth, and this 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:08.960 is why Cameron brad is being swept under the rug. 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.280 You got an existential threat to the game here as 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.880 it relates to the supply of young football players. And 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:15.880 if I'm a parent with a kid playing high school 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.440 football and I'm watching these NFL games, and I say, 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.800 even this state of the art structure for protecting players 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.800 doesn't work. How can I expect the local high school 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:28.200 sports conference to protect my son and get him out 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.840 of the game when he banged his head. If the 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.480 NFL can't do it, when Cameron Brait bangs his head 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:35.760 with twenty two million people watching and twenty two million 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:39.200 people seeing it, how can I ever fully trust that 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.400 my son is safe on a football field. And I 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:43.120 just thank god my son's at the age where I 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:46.040 don't have to run that analysis through my brain right now, 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.680 because I'm not sure what the end result would be. Yeah, 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.000 but you have the players are going to continue to 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.600 lie to stay in the game. Dan Orlovsky is with 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:56.760 us and yesterday and he said, yeah, if I was 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.760 twenty four, I'd be lying. Drew Brees said, I led 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:03.119 all the time. I'd even lie to my wife. What's 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:06.200 TA saying when he goes to the sidelines, He's probably saying, 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:08.600 my back. You know, he didn't want to come out 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:12.400 of the game. So how do you get players to understand, 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.880 how can we protect you if you don't help us 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:18.160 protect you? Well, but they're never going to There's only 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.000 a small handful of players who have the luxury of 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.520 tapping out and not worrying about their job. I remember 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:24.840 when Ben Roethlisberger did it in a Steelers game in 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:28.800 Pittsburgh seven eight years ago. He was heralded for doing 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.920 the selfless thing that was for the good of the game. Yeah, 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.000 because he doesn't have to worry about getting all he pipped. 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.000 Everybody else has to worry about that, and especially to 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:39.719 him in a year where he's got to prove not 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:43.040 just ability, but durability. And that's the other thing that 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:45.080 doesn't get discussed here with two him, he's got an 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:48.120 obligation to protect himself on a football field. Drew Brees 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:51.520 protected himself the smaller quarterbacks. I remember the first time 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:53.800 I was ever at an NFL related function and guy's 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:56.040 like Dan Marino and Boomers Siasmon and there, it's like, 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.600 holy crap, where's the bean stock? Like these guys are huge, 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:03.720 they're giants, and Drew Brees normal size Russell Wilson normal 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:05.920 size to a normal size. You gotta get rid of 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.200 the ball. You got to avoid getting ragged all you 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.839 know that hit six or five guy isn't gonna go 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:13.360 down the way that Ta went down on Thursday night. 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.320 A guy who's six one, which means he's five eleven, 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:19.520 one ninety, which means he's one seventy five. He's going 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:21.959 down in a very violent way. So that's part of 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.480 it too. But that makes it all the more important, Dan, 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:25.920 because we know we're not going to get the truth 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:28.720 from the players. The structure has to be in place 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:30.840 where it accepts we're never gonna get the truth from 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:33.480 the players. We gotta have another way to find out 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:35.720 what's really going on inside their heads after they take 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.880 an impact to the skull. He's Mike Floria from Pro 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:43.280 Football Talk. The report came out from the New York Post, 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:46.559 which is owned by the Murdoch family and they own 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:50.199 Fox and Tom Brady is employed by Fox, so they've 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:54.040 got the information that they've been reporting about Tom Brady's marriage. 0:09:56.679 --> 0:10:01.920 Is this fair game now to are you allowed to 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.040 in a sports setting talked to Brady about what's going 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:09.080 off the field and could that affect him on the field. 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:11.920 I wrote something about this a couple of weeks ago 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:15.280 because CNN got involved in the Tom Brady personal life 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:19.520 beat and reported that Tom and Gizelle were living separents. 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:24.080 Like CNN's reporting, like, what kind of strange world is this? 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:27.040 But when you're talking about somebody who lives an inherently 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:30.040 public life and he was asked about it generally a 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:33.359 few weeks ago, does it bother him? And he understands 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:36.400 you can't have it both ways. There are plenty of 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:41.040 guys in sports who have this attitude of hey, everybody 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.360 look at me, Well, wait a minute, what the hell 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:46.280 are you looking at? You can't have it both ways. 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:49.120 If you want that attention and all the money that 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.720 comes from it and all the adulation and praise, you 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:53.960 can't pick and choose what people look at. And Brady 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.520 gets it. And if we're going to be obsessed over 0:10:56.559 --> 0:11:00.640 whether or not his finger is affecting his perform, his 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.880 shoulder is affecting his performance and the guy disappeared for 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:05.559 eleven days of training camp and we never got a 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.559 straight answer. Why if there's some turmoil in his personal 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:12.400 life that potentially affects his performance? That's relevant. The Buccaneers 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.440 entire team had to go to Miami last week and 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:17.199 they all stayed in a hotel with kids and pets. 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:20.120 It was like Noah's Ark there and they lost the game. 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:22.240 And Todd Balls, a head coach, was saying last night 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:26.280 on the Buccaneers radio network, we couldn't focus. So yeah, 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:28.760 anything that keeps a guy from focusing on the task 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:31.560 at hand is fair game, especially when it's one of 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:36.800 the highest profile athletes slash celebrities married to somebody who 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.920 is extremely high profile. I think it does become fair game. 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:44.199 And when the Murdoch Family's newspaper is reporting this, when 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:45.920 they're ready to pay him thirty seven and a half 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:49.080 million a year, I think that does make it fair. Yeah. 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:52.199 I was wondering about that because there were members in 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:56.320 our profession who were critical of us prying into Tom 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.920 Brady's life. And I always go back to Tiger Woods 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:02.000 when Tiger was ever was happening off the golf course 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:05.640 until it affected him on the golf course. Then I 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:09.720 wasn't interested in that. I wanted to be fair. Brady 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:14.240 missed practices. Now it becomes something more than that, And 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:17.920 I asked Brady about this months ago when we were 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:20.560 on a conference call and we got to ask him 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:24.000 a question and I asked him about I was fifty 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.600 when I decided to go home. I knew it was 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:29.280 time to leave ESPN. I said, you know you got 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:32.120 to eventually go home, Like when do you like that 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:35.480 tug of war that you and Gizelle have? And he 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:38.000 kind of pushed it off and said, well, I don't 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:39.760 know if they want me at home all the time. 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:42.760 But then he did answer it later and he got 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:48.839 a little emotional about it because he's addicted. We all 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:52.839 have addictions. He's addicted to football, and his wife said, 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.080 I want you to come home, and he decided to 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:59.400 come back and play football here. So it's a real thing. 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:03.200 It's just I don't know how forthcoming he's going to 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:05.440 be in a press conference if they lose to the 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:09.760 Falcons this weekend. Is that fair game? Like it feels 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:13.080 like the doors open? Can you ask him questions and 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:18.040 still be keeping them in a sports related manner. I 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:19.880 think it's all a fair game at this point, because 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:23.200 he's already said he understands it goes with the territory. 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:25.679 I don't know that it's fair to ask him if 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.600 he throws three interceptions against the Falcons. Is the fact 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:30.880 that you and your wife have hired divorce lawyers the 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:34.360 reason for you throwing three interceptions? But I think it's 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:37.840 fair game for general questions in his midweek press conference, 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:41.760 which usually happens on Thursday, and just for analysis, like, Hey, 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:44.880 this guy is dealing with stuff that no NFL player 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:46.800 has ever dealt with. He has stretched the rubber band 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:49.760 farther than anyone ever has, the tank is well below 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:54.400 e Everything with him is unchartered waters, and we don't know, 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:56.760 he doesn't know. Nobody knows where it goes from here, 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.240 and it is fascinating. And you just can't look. If 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:01.559 you're gonna have this huge social media platform and you're 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.000 selling underwear in crypto, how in the world can you 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:06.400 run and hide when there's some big deal like this 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.600 that causes you to disappear for eleven days of training 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.199 camp and no one will explain, and they try to 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:14.320 act like it was all pre planned, and nobody believes 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.680 it was pre planned. It's just a reality show that 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:20.080 is playing out for all of us to see, and 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:23.160 it directly affects the performance of the player, which directly 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:25.280 affects the performance of the team. And you got all 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:28.480 the draft kings and fan duel commercials for people to bet, 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.160 and they're making bets faced upon how guys are going 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:33.400 to perform. I think it is fair game to talk 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:35.320 about it and wonder how it's going to affect him 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:40.880 before I let you go. Is there a coach that's 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:45.080 on the hot seat? Oh, Matt rule, Matt rule, Matt 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:51.960 rule will be lighting the yule log, so a rule 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:56.400 instead of a yule tide, it's a rule tie. How's 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:59.360 he gonna last? Dan Baker Port Baker Mayfield, he made 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:01.240 a four and a half million dollar bet on himself. 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.200 We love it when guy's bet on themselves because it's 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:05.440 not our money. He made a four and a half 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:07.720 million dollar bet on himself, all things told, when he 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:09.680 took the trade to Caroline and thinking he's gonna have 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:11.080 the kind of year that sets him up for a 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:15.040 big contract. Through four weeks, he's got a lot of 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:17.880 work to do. And you know, when Ben mcado's the 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.160 offensive coordinator, all due respect, I mean it's kind of 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:22.480 hard to find a good offensive coordinator when the offensive 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:25.120 coordinators who are being considered no that everyone's job is 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:27.720 riding on this guy getting it done. So you're getting 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:30.640 down to a choice five, six or seven. Matt rule. 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.200 I know he he's not concerned about it. Well, maybe 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.160 he's not. Maybe he's past it, because it just feels 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:38.200 like it's a matter of time before Davidstely see you later. 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.840 But can Nathaniel Hackett be on the hot seat this 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:44.800 early in his coaching career, Well, I think that he 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:46.880 could be one and done. Every time a coach gets 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.360 fired after one year, we've got a post at PFT 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:52.520 that we dust off an update to remind everybody that 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:54.800 it happens a lot more often than you think. You 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:57.400 got new ownership that did not hire him, and we've 0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:02.280 seen some fundamental flaws in game planning and game execution, 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:06.720 decision making, not making decisions quickly enough, making bad decisions. 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:10.560 And these folks who come from Walmart, where they have 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:13.920 put together a multi billion dollar company, a company that 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:16.640 has like they've got like everybody in that families a billionaire. 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:18.840 That's how much money this company is made. They're not 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:21.840 going to screw around Dan that. In the time that 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:25.720 I have been explaining to you, Nathaniel Hackett's status Walmart 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:28.720 has made enough money to finance his buyout, and then 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:32.160 some they won't hesitate to say see you later. Nathaniel Hack. Oh, 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:33.960 it's great to talk to you, Mike. Thank you talking 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.480 to Congratulations on the fifteen years. Thank you, Mike. Mike 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:38.320 had the under. By the way he goes, there's no 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.560 way you last at fifteen years. The under was like 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:45.160 five months something like that. Six months. Yeah, I remember 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:46.880 the first time we had Floria on. He was doing 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.240 his website, which was like one stop shopping for all 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:51.280 the NFL news. But he got publicity because he had 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:54.720 the counter last time a player had been arrested. Yes, 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.120 that's right. It got him both good and bad publicity. 0:16:57.520 --> 0:16:59.400 Let me take a break here, we'll get phone calls 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:04.000 coming up. I have the team that's now favored to 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:07.480 have the most wins in the NFL this season. Might 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:10.320 surprise you. Back after this in the Dan Patrick Show, 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:14.400 got up this morning, looked at the alarm clock. Alarm 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:18.160 clock looked back at me. I didn't flinch to stare 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:21.360 down here. I'm not afraid of you because I got 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:25.240 m drive.

Maybe 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:38.040 not a marathon, but like in my mind, I could. 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:40.560 You know what, I could watch a marathon.

Just told me something that I 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:39.320 was not aware of that if you live in Los Angeles, 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:42.199 and you might. You know, when you greet somebody, you 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:47.520 kiss them on both cheeks, and the reason is to 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:50.200 see if there's somebody more important behind the other person. 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:54.800 I didn't know that. I don't know if it's fact. 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:58.520 Is this a joke? But it seems appropriate, okay for 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:02.280 la Sometimes. I don't know if I've ever done a 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:05.080 kiss on both cheeks with anybody. You're not running in 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:08.840 the right crowd, apparently not. I'm not not running with 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:13.040 any famous people there. Yeah. My sister had this friend 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:14.960 that was really flighty, and when you'd be talking to her, 0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:16.640 let's say you're at a bar and you'd talk to her, 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:18.880 she would look over your shruggle, Hey Mark, and she'd 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:20.919 wave and you'd like and then she'd do it like 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:22.320 fore me, I say, should be oh hey, And she 0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:24.760 waved people. There was nobody there. She just wanted to 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:27.359 appear popular. Oh and so my sister goes, you know 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:29.760 that she's waving to nobody. She has ads it to everybody. 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:33.359 That's fascinating. I remember going out to Los Angeles and 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:39.720 we went to Spago's and on sunset, so my wife 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:42.600 and are you know we're tourists. We're corny. We're like, hey, 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:46.439 let's go to Spagos. We walk in. First of all, 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:49.240 it's five in the afternoon, and we're like, hey, let's 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:54.200 go see if anybody famous is there. Well, you walk 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:57.840 in and everybody turns around, and then they realize you're 0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:02.880 nobody and they turned It's anchronized fandom and like they 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.800 turned No, you're nobody, and then they turned back around, 0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:09.840 and I thought that was awesome. Nobody knew us. And 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:13.960 then we went to a there's a bar. Oh, I'm 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:16.840 sure that people out there are going to know, but 0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:22.320 it's it's where these actors who were role actors, you know, 0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:25.440 they had a small part, and they they all went 0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:28.200 to this bar and then they would just sit around 0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:30.560 and talk about the movies that they were in, or 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:33.480 at least it felt like they were about fifteen people. 0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:36.600
