Speaker 1: and sixty two radio affiliates around the country and part
Speaker 1: of the Fox Sports radio lineup. If you'd like get
Speaker 1: in touch with the program, we'll have a play of
Speaker 1: the day, stat of the day, poll question, all of
Speaker 1: that coming up, and you can email, tweet. You can
Speaker 1: also dialay. Sub Today was supposed to be one of
Speaker 1: the better days on the sports calendar. Opening day of
Speaker 1: the NCAA tournament, and typically many of us are making
Speaker 1: up the creative excuses on how to get out of work.
Speaker 1: Unfortun we don't need excuses today. Unfortunately, we don't have
Speaker 1: any basketball games to watch, so it's kind of a
Speaker 1: strange day. We've all had years where you have a
Speaker 1: high seed gets tripped up early and no worse feeling
Speaker 1: than having your bracket blown up day one. You go
Speaker 1: back two years ago in the sixteenth seed UMBC Maryland
Speaker 1: Baltimore County knocked out Virginia. Of course, the real money
Speaker 1: is won later in the tournament, but we overreact on
Speaker 1: Day one and day two. But seeing all those games
Speaker 1: is still the best, and we'll miss those in these
Speaker 1: strange times that we're trying to get through. But I
Speaker 1: think back on all the great tournament action opening days
Speaker 1: that we've had in the past, and then look ahead
Speaker 1: of the games coming back real soon, and I think
Speaker 1: we all have those memories of there was a game
Speaker 1: that you watched, there was a player that you watched,
Speaker 1: and this is really with the advent of one and done,
Speaker 1: you had a chance to get to know some players
Speaker 1: when it got to the tournament, and of course they
Speaker 1: would be gone, the great ones would. But you had
Speaker 1: some players like Obe Topping at Dayton this year. This
Speaker 1: could have been his coming out party and he might
Speaker 1: be the best player you know in college basketball this
Speaker 1: past year. He's on the shortlist there. You had some
Speaker 1: really interesting stories. San Diego State was in there, Dayton
Speaker 1: was in there, some teams that aren't normally up there,
Speaker 1: and Kansas, the blue bloods were there. We didn't know
Speaker 1: how good Duke was or Kentucky some of the ones
Speaker 1: you expect. North Carolina not good this year. Syracuse wasn't
Speaker 1: making the tournament, and it was, as we like to say,
Speaker 1: every year, wide open. But when you have those first
Speaker 1: four days of the tournament where you have Thursday, Friday,
Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday, and then you come up for air
Speaker 1: and then you look at your bracket and you go,
Speaker 1: I got one region that's still intact. Everything else is
Speaker 1: in tatters. But always some great memories there of March madness.

Speaker 1: us today. Okay, this is a Paulie special. Would you
Speaker 1: rather attend or actually watch the first day of the
Speaker 1: NTA Tournament or the super Bowl? So? If you had
Speaker 1: to miss one, which one would you fear missing the most?
Speaker 1: I can do without the super Bowl? Nice? I mean,
Speaker 1: I I love the super Bowl, but I don't know
Speaker 1: there's something about Thursday and Friday with just that frenetic pace.
Speaker 1: You know, you start at noon and it goes to
Speaker 1: after midnight both of those days. Uh. Yeah, I would
Speaker 1: take the first two days. Do I get the whole weekend?
Speaker 1: You got the first four days of the NTA Tournament? Oh? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll take the first four days over the super Bowl. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was the first two days. You're staying all why
Speaker 1: are you shaking your head? Mclovin. So you're just not
Speaker 1: gonna watch the super Bowl? Well wait, you just said
Speaker 1: I can watch one. I got You can't see it.
Speaker 1: You can't even watch it. Okay, I'll survive. Can I
Speaker 1: listen to it? I can listen to it on radio? Right,
Speaker 1: you can listen to the second half. Okay, No, I'd
Speaker 1: still I'd take March Madness. I take those first four days.
Speaker 1: I I just there's nothing like that, that feeling when
Speaker 1: you're watching you're going, you know somebody is on the ropes,
Speaker 1: and then you flip over and you know this chance
Speaker 1: for a big upset or you're going, who is this guy? Yeah,
Speaker 1: even just the planning of like figuring out where all
Speaker 1: the games are on now and which ones you're gonna
Speaker 1: watch and at what time and then all right, where
Speaker 1: am I gonna eat because I've got this Villanova game
Speaker 1: that I want to watch, But then I gotta figure
Speaker 1: out food and whatever else. I love all that stuff.
Speaker 1: Plus you cram and I was really good at cramming
Speaker 1: for an exam in college. And that's what I think
Speaker 1: most of us do when it comes to filling out
Speaker 1: our brackets. You're going, I have no idea how good
Speaker 1: Northern Iowa is, but you're convinced the guy play. Yes,
Speaker 1: these these two are gonna go on around. Yeah, veteran
Speaker 1: guard play, of course. I always love it. You know, guys,
Speaker 1: when the analysts would try to be us their way through,
Speaker 1: you know, they didn't know much about a team, but
Speaker 1: I'm you know, they got good guard play. Uh, they're
Speaker 1: well coached, they play hard. Yeah, plumb. Yeah, the scrappy
Speaker 1: NC State team, Dan, they gotta get it down to
Speaker 1: their bigs if they're gonna get to the next round.
Speaker 1: That's the only way you can do it. What other
Speaker 1: poll questions do you have? McLean and we've lost mcleven.
Speaker 1: Is that his heart peat? Is he getting a ultrasound
Speaker 1: now or whatever? Yeah? Mcleven, you can hear us. That's
Speaker 1: all right, we can't hear you. I want to stick
Speaker 1: with that last pole question though, because you coming right
Speaker 1: out of the gate today saying you'd rather not watch
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. It's pure fire. It's not that I
Speaker 1: would not want to watch it. I would just rather
Speaker 1: watch the first days of the tournament. Maybe because we
Speaker 1: don't have the tournament this year. Maybe maybe because of that.
Speaker 1: Then you go, okay, I'm gonna miss this. Yeah. Point
Speaker 1: the results could be skewed, obviously, because we're doing it
Speaker 1: right now. We've done this before. But like the super Bowl,
Speaker 1: it's crapshoot. I would say every other super Bowl is great,
Speaker 1: and then you have a Rams Patriots super Bowl, where
Speaker 1: if you told me, I would have missed that. I've
Speaker 1: been fine, nothing happened. That's like what largely the most
Speaker 1: forgettable super Bowl of all time is that Rams Patriots.
Speaker 1: I know, it's just stunk. Yeah, there was nothing that
Speaker 1: really stood out. I think there was one play by
Speaker 1: Gronk and they play that the Rams didn't make with
Speaker 1: the Brendon. Okay, see you tomorrow. That's nice. Yeah, Fortzee,
Speaker 1: when you say you're cramming for the brackets, you don't
Speaker 1: take a little mental notes at least when Seth Davis
Speaker 1: or Clark Kellog or any of those guys are talking,
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're talking about, or you're more
Speaker 1: influenced through the opposite. They just they just throw stuff.
Speaker 1: And when's the last time those guys won their Brackett
Speaker 1: Challenge a while? Yeah, Yeah, you just want to get enough.
Speaker 1: You need to know a little bit about a lot
Speaker 1: when it comes to filling out your brackets. And because
Speaker 1: there's always gonna be one team that you go, where
Speaker 1: did George Mason come from? Northern Iowa? Where did they
Speaker 1: come from? There's you know, Butler surprised us and then
Speaker 1: didn't surprise us. The following year, Gonzaga used to surprise people,
Speaker 1: which I always love that people are like a Gonzaga,
Speaker 1: I think they're pretty good. Like, yeah, yeah, I think so,
Speaker 1: because I'd always have Gonzaga going far, because Gonzaga would
Speaker 1: always surprise me because you never watched the regular season
Speaker 1: game with them. Yeah, Paul, going back to Butler, remember
Speaker 1: that shot Gordon Hayward had half quarter of banked out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that would have been the greatest moment and say
Speaker 1: tournament history. Everyone gives it the Ltner, But if Gordon
Speaker 1: Hayward nails that one to beat Duke from half court,
Speaker 1: it blows everything outside of the water. I was watching
Speaker 1: the I Hate Christian Latner documentary The thirty for thirty
Speaker 1: last night, and that is I think the greatest college
Speaker 1: basketball game ever played because of all the drama that
Speaker 1: went into that. Lightner should have been thrown out of
Speaker 1: that game. The scrappy Kentucky players, the fact that you know,
Speaker 1: they hit a big shot and I think it's Sean
Speaker 1: Woods who hits the big shot, and then they set
Speaker 1: up the dramatic play for Lightner. That's not even for
Speaker 1: the national championship. If that was for the national title,
Speaker 1: it would be no question the greatest college basketball game
Speaker 1: of all time. But if you look at how that,
Speaker 1: I mean one oh four, one oh three overtime and
Speaker 1: Lightner played a perfect game except for stepping on Timberlin.
Speaker 1: He played a perfect game. He was ten for ten
Speaker 1: from the floor, ten for ten from the line, and
Speaker 1: hit the game winning shot, hit thirty one points. And
Speaker 1: you're just watching that, You're going, oh my god. And
Speaker 1: you got two legends there. You got Patino coaching against
Speaker 1: coach k I don't know what would be the second
Speaker 1: greatest basketball game of all time. I do know that
Speaker 1: Ucla against Houston in the Astrodome brought college basketball into
Speaker 1: prime time. That's a different era. It was Kareem against
Speaker 1: Elvin Hayes. They did have the rematch. I did cry
Speaker 1: that night when UCLA lost, and then they had the
Speaker 1: rematch in the in the tournament, and I think it
Speaker 1: was one oh one to sixty nine Ucla b Houston,
Speaker 1: but one of two games that lu Alcindor lost. But
Speaker 1: that might be the other game on there. Now you
Speaker 1: can throw in Villanova in Georgetown, but I always tell
Speaker 1: people go back to what happened during the regular season.
Speaker 1: Villanova was a really good team, and a season team
Speaker 1: and I think they lost by a couple of points.
Speaker 1: They lost by less than ten points both times to Georgetown.
Speaker 1: I think they lost by you know, maybe six points.
Speaker 1: So to me, it wasn't a shock. They played a
Speaker 1: great game, but that's a team that won twenty four games.
Speaker 1: You know, you didn't expect Harold Jensen to have a
Speaker 1: perfect night, but they played the perfect game. But if
Speaker 1: you're thinking about the greatest college basketball game of all time,
Speaker 1: Duke against Kentucky, oh, don't match that up against anybody. Yeah. Pause.
Speaker 1: Remember we had Grant hill On about seven eight years
Speaker 1: ago to talk about that game, and he'd want to
Speaker 1: throw the baseball pass into later You remember, why is
Speaker 1: it called the pass? Why is it called the shot?
Speaker 1: Because that passes like sixty sixty feet on the money.
Speaker 1: I think the pass is harder than the shot because
Speaker 1: if you look at the shot, Laterner had enough time
Speaker 1: to actually spin one way and turn around, and you
Speaker 1: had John Pelfrey guarding him. Kind so yeah, and you
Speaker 1: know Laterner had enough time to catch turn, turn back
Speaker 1: and then hit the jumper getting that passed to him.
Speaker 1: I thought that was a little bit tougher. Um James
Speaker 1: and I would join this early. Hi, James, what do
Speaker 1: you have for me? Hey Dad, good morning, love the
Speaker 1: show is all Hey, So, this year, obviously because they
Speaker 1: were a boy, the tournament was not being played somebody's
Speaker 1: of mine and I we decided that instead of just
Speaker 1: going with who's the best team, you know, from whatever year,
Speaker 1: we decided to go with all time best plays. And
Speaker 1: we're trying to see them and we're trying to come
Speaker 1: up with some more ideas. You know, We've got like
Speaker 1: the last second shot Houston, Anty State over Houston. We've
Speaker 1: got Jordan's shot with North Carolina. UM. So we just
Speaker 1: so we're trying to come up with a few more
Speaker 1: ideas and we're won in a few and the Felis
Speaker 1: might have some suggestions for us. Well, you have Latern,
Speaker 1: you have Bryce Drew when Valpo beat Mississippi. UM, I
Speaker 1: don't know. We'll give it some thought here and I'm
Speaker 1: sure the audience will help out as well. Thank you, James, Yes, talks.
Speaker 1: Wasn't there some big tius ed? That was Jim Herricks
Speaker 1: Bruins they won the national title. Yeah, that was a
Speaker 1: big one. Yeah, one guy that probably we'll get lost
Speaker 1: in history. But remember Shebazz Napier when he was at
Speaker 1: Yukon and the way he carried that team. You want
Speaker 1: on to play in the NBA's bounced around, He's done
Speaker 1: really nothing, but for that one month he had that
Speaker 1: run that was just unbelievable. Well, Lebron was watching and said, hey,
Speaker 1: I want that guy on the team, and I think
Speaker 1: did the Cavs drafted him and then Lebron left something
Speaker 1: like that. It was he wanted Shebazz Napier on the team.
Speaker 1: All right, Age seven seven three d show email dre SDPA,
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick dot com. We'll check in with the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 1: Former Bears wide receiver Tom Waddle will join us because
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears have traded for Nick Foles. Have they
Speaker 1: officially moved on from Mitchell Trubisky? Junior the third and
Speaker 1: you bring in Nick Foles. The reason why Nick foles
Speaker 1: name was not brought up in trade talks was nobody
Speaker 1: thought that you could trade that contract that was so
Speaker 1: bad that Jacksonville signed him to. But lo and behold,
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears say, yeah, we'll bring him in. So
Speaker 1: you move up in the draft to take Mitchell Trubisky
Speaker 1: and now you take this contract off the Jacksonville Jaguar's hand.
Speaker 1: Couldn't you have just gotten Andy Dalton a lot cheaper
Speaker 1: and you don't have a stupid contract there, man, man Bears.
Speaker 1: You know what, the Bears better play some damn good
Speaker 1: defense this year because if they don't, and this isn't
Speaker 1: gonna go well, you're gonna lose Trubisky. You'll move on
Speaker 1: from him, and then you'll have Nick Foles for one
Speaker 1: more year. But Cam Newton is still on the market,
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston still on the market, and Andy Dalton still
Speaker 1: on the market. The report yesterday was the Chargers are
Speaker 1: going to stay with Tyrod Taylor and probably draft a quarterback.
Speaker 1: I agree with that because I don't think anybody is
Speaker 1: an upgrade. If I bring in Jamis cam or Andy Dalton,
Speaker 1: is that much of an upgrade? If any over Tyrod
Speaker 1: Taylor and you can draft a quarterback, and if you can,
Speaker 1: if you want to move up and make a splash,
Speaker 1: go up and try to get Tah. But you know,
Speaker 1: the Chargers missed out on Brady. I like this that
Speaker 1: the report was, you know this wasn't about money with Brady. Well,
Speaker 1: when you're asking for thirty million dollars, it sort of
Speaker 1: is about money, just saying you know, you can't go
Speaker 1: not about money. But Tom wanted thirty million dollars each
Speaker 1: for two years. He wanted to have a say in
Speaker 1: some of the personnel decisions there. But then you hear
Speaker 1: the report. Hey, he didn't want to play on the
Speaker 1: West coast. So if the Chargers came up to thirty
Speaker 1: five million dollars and said you can be a part
Speaker 1: of the process here, what do you have gone there?
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's like everything's sort of falling in
Speaker 1: place and then everything is logical here and it's not
Speaker 1: about the money. And you know he wants to go
Speaker 1: with Bruce Arians and another thing is inside his contract.
Speaker 1: But you know he's got to take a physical and
Speaker 1: then you've got to figure out the logistics here of
Speaker 1: how do you get from point A to point B?
Speaker 1: Or do we send people to give you a physical here? Yeah.
Speaker 1: I like that the input into personnel things keeps that
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, yeah rumor alive. Yeah yeah, And it feels
Speaker 1: like that's real that that Tom wants to help out
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown for some reason. Does he want to help
Speaker 1: out Josh Gordon because Josh Gordon says he wants to
Speaker 1: play in twenty twenty. Josh Gordon has been suspended six times,
Speaker 1: says he wants to play again in twenty twenty. Now
Speaker 1: with the new CBA, it would have been zero times.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I guess. Are you allowed to
Speaker 1: do whatever you want? Are they even testing for peeds
Speaker 1: in the NFL anymore? Because it feels like, you know,
Speaker 1: there's no drug testing. Are they testing for HGH and peed?
Speaker 1: Let's go eighties? Well I don't. I don't think you
Speaker 1: have seventies. I don't think any fans are gonna have
Speaker 1: a problem with you know, if they decided not to
Speaker 1: test for pegs, like we all feel like, Man, if
Speaker 1: I played that game, I'd be using whatever they'd give me. Hh. Sure,
Speaker 1: hook me up to an IV. I'm ready to go.
Speaker 1: All right, So we'll check check in with Tom Waddle,
Speaker 1: who is a former Bears wide receiver in great radio
Speaker 1: host ESPN one thousand in Chicago, get his thoughts on this.
Speaker 1: The commissioner of the NBA has some playoff options for
Speaker 1: his league. I heard from somebody yesterday in the know
Speaker 1: about possibilities here once the playoffs start, with the NBA
Speaker 1: maybe shortening a series in the opening round to three games,
Speaker 1: and maybe the second round is five games, and then
Speaker 1: the next will be seven games after that. But imagine
Speaker 1: the tension, you know, can you come back and play
Speaker 1: five games? Each team gets five games and then you
Speaker 1: go into the playoffs. So there's some scenarios we'll hear
Speaker 1: from the commissioner coming up a little bit. Your phone calls.
Speaker 1: I got a lot of people who want to come
Speaker 1: up with the best college tournament play of all time.
Speaker 1: Chris Jenkins from Villanova is a big one. Now that's
Speaker 1: a big shot. When you have one that wins the title,
Speaker 1: that's the big one. And we've had a few of those.
Speaker 1: Jordan's was I mean it wasn't it was my fifteen
Speaker 1: foot jumper. I mean he did take it early in
Speaker 1: the shot clock where you're going, Mike, and then of
Speaker 1: course you had the Fred Brown situation at the other end,
Speaker 1: but Mike didn't. He got the opening, took it and
Speaker 1: ended up winning the title. There eighteen after the hour,
Speaker 1: we'll see if we can reconnect with mclovin. We'll take
Speaker 1: a break, we'll come back check in with the logic
Speaker 1: behind what the Chicago Bears just did. And finally, Jacksonville
Speaker 1: made a smart move, and it's been a long time
Speaker 1: since I've been able to say that. Nineteen after the Hour,
Speaker 1: This is the Dan Patrick Show. Do you own or
Speaker 1: rent your home? Sure? You do, and I bet it

Speaker 1: If you had to miss one first four days of
Speaker 1: the NCAA tournament or the Super Bowl, which one would
Speaker 1: you pick. We'll check in with the Chicago Bears, who
Speaker 1: surprised a lot of folks yesterday and they brought in
Speaker 1: Nick Foles. We'll talk to Tom Waddle here in a moment.
Speaker 1: Brandon in South Carolina, Hey Brandon, how are you? Hey? Dan?
Speaker 1: Are you doing? I wanted to weigh in two things.
Speaker 1: This game of the six overtime game between Ukan and Syracuse.
Speaker 1: That's a great, great, great game, yep. And one of
Speaker 1: the best shots ever was Marvin Chalmers winning the National
Speaker 1: Championship over the Memphis Tigers. All right, those are both
Speaker 1: really good. I still think Duke Kentucky Christian Lightner's the
Speaker 1: greatest game I ever saw because Kentucky had no business
Speaker 1: taking them into overtime, even hanging with him. He had
Speaker 1: Jamal Mashburn and a bunch of guys who were not
Speaker 1: going to play in the NBA. Rick Patino going against
Speaker 1: Mike Huschevski Lightner, the fact that he should have been
Speaker 1: thrown out of that game, and he played. He played
Speaker 1: the perfect game. He made every shot, including the one
Speaker 1: that you had them advanced in the Eastern Regional. A
Speaker 1: more phone calls coming up here, Let's get to Tom Waddle,
Speaker 1: the former Chicago Bear wide receiver and the co host
Speaker 1: of Waddle and Sylvie two to six on ESPN one
Speaker 1: thousand in Chicago. Morning. Tom, How are you? I'm doing well, Dan?
Speaker 1: How are you guys? So if everyone is safe and healthy,
Speaker 1: If I said you could watch one of these, the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl or the first four days of March Madness,
Speaker 1: what would you take? Super Bowl? I'm a football guy. Now.
Speaker 1: I like basketball, don't get me wrong, but you know,
Speaker 1: footballs in my blood. All right? What did you want
Speaker 1: the Bears to do before they brought in Nick Foles?
Speaker 1: What did you want them to do this season? Interesting?
Speaker 1: I wanted them to upgrade a lot of spots on
Speaker 1: their offense. They were pretty pitiful in a lot of areas,
Speaker 1: and they were twenty ninth in yards per game. They
Speaker 1: were twenty ninth in points per game. They didn't run
Speaker 1: the football. I wanted them to secure their offensive line.
Speaker 1: I wanted to get them to make a significant upgrade
Speaker 1: at tight end, but certainly it all circles back to
Speaker 1: the quarterback, and I wanted them to find somebody that
Speaker 1: ken the defenses as a lead as this one is
Speaker 1: helped lead them to the Promised Land. And with a
Speaker 1: familiarity with Nick Foles, with Matt Nagge and the rest
Speaker 1: of the new coaches that he's he's put together, I
Speaker 1: think that obviously familiarity was high on their list with Nick.
Speaker 1: I do I think they're upgrade. I think it's an upgrade. Look,
Speaker 1: I'm not suggesting that Nick Foles is going to be
Speaker 1: the reincarnation of you know, Aaron Rodgers five six years ago,
Speaker 1: but Nick Foles is a dan. I think Nick Foles
Speaker 1: is a professional quarterback, especially in this offense, that he
Speaker 1: knows like the back of his hand. He knows where
Speaker 1: the football is supposed to go. Now, will it always
Speaker 1: get there? Maybe not, But he understands the offense, and
Speaker 1: he understands how to read defenses, and he understands how
Speaker 1: to go through his progressions, and would you know, it
Speaker 1: sounds awful, but I'm not so sure that that Mitch
Speaker 1: was really in the same category. I don't know that
Speaker 1: he possesses all of that in comparison to Nick, but
Speaker 1: Nicks the veteran and as I said, has experienced in
Speaker 1: this offense. So what's Mitchell Trubisky's future in Chicago? I
Speaker 1: may be in the minority, but I don't think it's
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a very stable one. Dan. I
Speaker 1: don't think you give up a fourth round pick in
Speaker 1: twenty one million dollars guaranteed when A you don't have
Speaker 1: a ton of draft currency and B you have some
Speaker 1: tight salary cap situations. So to give up what they
Speaker 1: gave up for Nick Foles, I may be crazy, but
Speaker 1: I don't think you give up a fourth tay him
Speaker 1: twenty one million guaranteed and bring him to Chicago and
Speaker 1: send him behind a young quarterback who has struggled in
Speaker 1: a quarterback that I don't believe the coach believes him.
Speaker 1: That seems to be foolish to me. How did they
Speaker 1: whiff on Trubisky and not only wif they moved up
Speaker 1: to whiff on him and moved up and decided to
Speaker 1: pass on Watson and Mahomes. It's the question that has
Speaker 1: left a ton of Bear fans, including myself pacing my
Speaker 1: house at this time, banging my head against walls, and
Speaker 1: one that I I really can't I can't come to
Speaker 1: a solid conclusion. Look, I get that you could have
Speaker 1: missed on Mahomes. Obviously the Kansas City Chiefs didn't and
Speaker 1: they were they were sold from day one. But how
Speaker 1: do you miss on Deshaun Watson, who was the best
Speaker 1: player in the country on the biggest stage, under the
Speaker 1: brightest lights, against virtually a professional defense that he faced
Speaker 1: in Alabama, and he excelled the way he did. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, listen, I've prefaced everything I've said
Speaker 1: over the course of the last three years is I
Speaker 1: don't want to feel like I'm bashing Mitch because I
Speaker 1: know Mitch is a wonderful kid who was a hard
Speaker 1: worker and he's a great teammate, but he hasn't been
Speaker 1: a very good quarterback and we're in the business of
Speaker 1: winning games. I don't know, Dan, I they must have
Speaker 1: fallen in love with what they saw his thirteen game
Speaker 1: career in North Carolina, and it just it's a it's
Speaker 1: an answer that I can't find a good one or
Speaker 1: a question I can't find a good answer. But you've
Speaker 1: been around these gems and these coaches. They love the unknown,
Speaker 1: they love the potential for something. And I've always said,
Speaker 1: I don't care about a pro day. I don't care
Speaker 1: about the combine. Put on the tape. That's why when
Speaker 1: people were discounting Teddy Bridgewater, oh y had a horrible
Speaker 1: pro day, Put on the tape and tell me how
Speaker 1: tough he is. And the same with DeShawn Watson. I
Speaker 1: think that the Bears probably looked at Deshaun Watson and goes, Okay, well,
Speaker 1: we know that's his ceiling probably and he did pretty well.
Speaker 1: But look at this guy over here. You know, he's
Speaker 1: only played thirteen games, Like this is what we get.
Speaker 1: This is how we get into trouble with maybe Baker Mayfield,
Speaker 1: with Dwayne Haskins. It's these one year wonders where we
Speaker 1: go look at that and then you go, oh my god.
Speaker 1: I mean even Joe Burrow the previous year was pedestrian
Speaker 1: like and then he had the unbelievable one season. So
Speaker 1: I think it's these gms. They talked themselves in and
Speaker 1: out of things, and I think that's what the Bear did. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree with you, And I think there's some people
Speaker 1: in town that have given Ryan a ton of credit
Speaker 1: for his conviction. Well, I trade conviction for competence every
Speaker 1: day of a week. So look, I think if you're
Speaker 1: gonna go with a guy who only had one year
Speaker 1: in college, at least go with a guy that won
Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy. You know what I'm saying, Like, I
Speaker 1: can understand Kyler Murray. You picked Kyler Murray because the
Speaker 1: one season that he did play, he was outstanding. I
Speaker 1: get it for some of these guys. And again, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have to go to confession because I feel awful
Speaker 1: all the time by saying bad things about men. But
Speaker 1: but look, he you know, he had a nice year
Speaker 1: with North Carolina in the one year that he played.
Speaker 1: I just don't know how you fall in love with
Speaker 1: that and you move up and give up draft currency
Speaker 1: to making the second overall pick when you had Deshaun
Speaker 1: Watson sitting there. I just, I mean, I'm baffled. Former
Speaker 1: Bears wide receiver Tom Wandald joining us on the program.
Speaker 1: If I gave you the Buccaneers or the Bears more
Speaker 1: wins this year, Wow, I actually think the Bucks are
Speaker 1: going to be a wild card team, and I think
Speaker 1: the Bears are also going to be a wild card team.
Speaker 1: So now I have to decide which one has the
Speaker 1: better record. I am going to suggest to you that
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears will have the letter record book. I
Speaker 1: like what Tampa's done, you know, And my first thought
Speaker 1: was why because I thought Tom was going back to
Speaker 1: New England, because that it was the best decision for both.
Speaker 1: But look, everyone's talking about Mike Evans. Mike Evans is
Speaker 1: a hell of a player. Chris god Wins the hell
Speaker 1: of a receiver as well. I mean, you've got something.
Speaker 1: The one thing I'm concerned about with Tampa is they
Speaker 1: gave up forty five sacks last year. But they also
Speaker 1: I think through the football more than anyone else, and
Speaker 1: I don't think you'll have the same situation with Tom.
Speaker 1: He'll get the ball out quickly. I think it was
Speaker 1: a defensive played significantly better in the second half of
Speaker 1: the season and then they did in the first half,
Speaker 1: and I think they were watch seven and nine and
Speaker 1: a lot of those those those losses were by a
Speaker 1: smaller margin. And I think you removed some of the
Speaker 1: mistakes with turnovers that Jamis was guilty of. And I
Speaker 1: think you've got a chance there. So um, yeah, Caroline
Speaker 1: is going to be rebuilding some the Falcons or a
Speaker 1: roller coaster. The Saint to the obviously the strength of
Speaker 1: that division. But I'm gonna go out on a limb
Speaker 1: and say that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers win nine or
Speaker 1: ten games this year. Yeah, I think I thought they
Speaker 1: were gonna be a playoff team even if they didn't
Speaker 1: get Brady, if you put Teddy Bridgewater in there, because
Speaker 1: look at all the turnovers. You know that that that's
Speaker 1: killed that team, and you get somebody who can take
Speaker 1: care of the football. You got a good defense, and
Speaker 1: you can make some place with those wide receivers. You
Speaker 1: got two good tight ends. I just I thought that
Speaker 1: they were on the verge of being a playoff team.
Speaker 1: I agree with you, and sometimes the best route is
Speaker 1: and I'm sure Bruce arians has said this to several
Speaker 1: of his quarterbacks over the course of time. And Bruce
Speaker 1: has got what Aderful resumes, Hey, this is you don't
Speaker 1: have to win this game for us, kid, but don't
Speaker 1: be the reason why we lose. And if you go back.
Speaker 1: Jamis has got a ton of talent, but thirty interceptions,
Speaker 1: six or seven fumbles, and you could see some of this.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not suggesting that I'm a football prophet,
Speaker 1: but when he came out of Florida State, some of
Speaker 1: the same decisions. The decision making on the field, I
Speaker 1: won't even know. I'll talk about the off the field stuff,
Speaker 1: but the on the field decisions were questionable at times,
Speaker 1: and there was a high number of interceptions even at
Speaker 1: Florida State. And you know, it's not a huge surprise
Speaker 1: that some of those issues have manifest themselves here at
Speaker 1: the NFL level. Great to talk to you, Tom, tell Sylvie.
Speaker 1: We said hello, we appreciate your time. As always, you
Speaker 1: got it. Thank you. Dan be Well, that's Tom Waddle,
Speaker 1: the former Bear co host of Waddle and Sylvie Afternoon
Speaker 1: Drive and ESPN one thousand in Chicago. I was curious
Speaker 1: about win totals here with what happened this past week.
Speaker 1: The Buccaneers went from eight and a half to nine
Speaker 1: and a half wins the Patriots. The Patriots were at
Speaker 1: nine now they're at eight and a half. After Brady
Speaker 1: announced that he was leaving, I thought, I thought Brady's
Speaker 1: I thought that maybe Tampa would Well, you're trying to
Speaker 1: get action here. I would take the Buccaneers. I would
Speaker 1: take the over with nine and a half the Patriots.
Speaker 1: Could you see the Patriots going nine and seven, eight
Speaker 1: and eight, because Buffalo is all in. Like Buffalo thinks,
Speaker 1: all right, we've waited, we've waited twenty years, and now
Speaker 1: we're ready, and now you've got to go after the
Speaker 1: AFC East and you bring in Stefan Diggs, Josh Norman.
Speaker 1: Buffalo is all in. But you have three quarterbacks. When
Speaker 1: you start to think about this, Josh Allen to me
Speaker 1: is in a pivotal year. Baker Mayfield is in a
Speaker 1: pivotal year because the Cleveland Browns will make the playoffs
Speaker 1: this year. Everything is there. They got a really good
Speaker 1: tight end, Like there's no more excuses with this, Like
Speaker 1: there's no Fredo Kitchens here. They will make the playoffs,
Speaker 1: and if they don't, then Cleveland will probably start looking
Speaker 1: for another quarterback. Mitchell Trubisky. We know that he's on
Speaker 1: the way out in Chicago, and you know, unless something
Speaker 1: happens with Nick Foles where he gets a chance to
Speaker 1: come back and play. But I don't see Mitchell Trubisky.
Speaker 1: I thought this was going to be his last year
Speaker 1: in Chicago now with Nick Foles. You don't bring in
Speaker 1: a guy who you pay him that much and you're
Speaker 1: giving up a draft pick to have him back up
Speaker 1: Mitchell Trubisky. You know that Bear's job is open, and
Speaker 1: it looks like Nick Foles will. If I'm Naggie and
Speaker 1: I'm trying to hold onto my job, I gotta get
Speaker 1: somebody who's gonna help me win games or not lose games. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know that's the same thing with Tampa. You know,
Speaker 1: Bruce arians didn't come back to have this like he
Speaker 1: came back. He wanted to coach, he enjoyed it, didn't
Speaker 1: want to continue broadcasting. You don't want to come back,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you're going, wait, what the
Speaker 1: hell's going on out here? Brady hasn't thrown thirty interceptions
Speaker 1: in what four years a total? And jamis through that
Speaker 1: last year. Just you know, sheer numbers there. Tampa will
Speaker 1: be better because they lost games because of Jameis Winston.
Speaker 1: All right, some phone calls coming up. Let me see Tyler,
Speaker 1: and Michigan joins us, Tyler, what do you have for
Speaker 1: me today? Hey? Damn six, what's the name of the dog? Swift? Actually,
Speaker 1: after Taylor Swift sixteen. You named your dog after Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1: She's now alive years old. Oh that's good, all right, Swifty?
Speaker 1: Keep quiet now, all right? So it's a long time
Speaker 1: Oh it was a long time Bears fan. I'm skeptical.
Speaker 1: Are we gonna get Big Richard or little Nikki of
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess Foles is gonna be your guy. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna guess. Thanks for thanks for calling Dan. Based on
Speaker 1: nick Ball's career history, he's due for a big year.
Speaker 1: Twenty thirteen, twenty seven touchdowns, two picks, nothing, nothing, nothing,
Speaker 1: super Bowl MVP, nothing, nothing, And now he's with the Bears.
Speaker 1: He's got the weirdest career in sports history. Do you
Speaker 1: think his is stranger than Kurt Warner? It's getting there
Speaker 1: because Kurt Warner with a league MVP, I know. Then
Speaker 1: he lost his job the ELI and we forgot all
Speaker 1: about him, and then all of a sudden he went
Speaker 1: to Arizona. If Nick Foles has a last act and
Speaker 1: he's only thirty, I think he turns thirty one in
Speaker 1: a couple of months. Yeay, he just turned thirty, won
Speaker 1: Nick Foles. But that's such a hefty price to bring
Speaker 1: in I mean that that was such a bad contract
Speaker 1: when Jacksonville, because Jacksonville made a mistake on Blake Mortals
Speaker 1: and then you bring in Nick Foles, but you draft
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew. So I gotta give you credit for drafting
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew, but I gotta give you a whole lot
Speaker 1: of blame for all that. I mean, they made so
Speaker 1: many poor decisions in Jacksonville, and they were so clear.
Speaker 1: What were they up ten points on the Patriots in
Speaker 1: the AFC title game and they fell apart and then
Speaker 1: continue to fall apart. And now so it's Gardner Minshew,
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette and now you're on a rebuild. Now that's
Speaker 1: a team. I wonder you're not tanking. What about Jacksonville
Speaker 1: for Trevor Lawrence, Not that that would make Trevor excited,
Speaker 1: But you know, somebody is going to be the worst
Speaker 1: team in football, and there has to be somebody who's
Speaker 1: the worst team. You know, the Bengals they might be,
Speaker 1: the Redskins might be, Jacksonville might be, and there'll be
Speaker 1: a team where you go, boy, they're worse than I thought.
Speaker 1: There's always two or three teams better than what you think.
Speaker 1: And two or three teams who are worse than what
Speaker 1: we think. Remember the Raiders. We thought, God, the Raiders
Speaker 1: are going to be horrible. And then as the season
Speaker 1: moved on, when I declared the Raiders might make the playoffs,
Speaker 1: and then I think they lost their next three games.
Speaker 1: But you know, the Raiders are going to be on
Speaker 1: the cusp here as well of being a good team
Speaker 1: playoff team. More phone calls coming up. Some people want
Speaker 1: to talk about colleagues basketball today. This would have been
Speaker 1: opening round with March badness. We'll take a break, we

Speaker 1: the first time of Chicago book. This went shot out
Speaker 1: isolation for Michael. Regie Miller, knowing that Jordan has been
Speaker 1: struggling from the video, did the wise thing and got
Speaker 1: off of because you know, Michael was thinking it was possible.
Speaker 1: Drive here, Gavin the chupper and Michael finally nails courtesy
Speaker 1: of NBC Chicago native Kanye West with the song Homecoming,
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan comes back. That was twenty five years ago.
Speaker 1: He scored nineteen seven of twenty eighth from the floor. Wait,
Speaker 1: Michael had a bad game in his career. Pacers go
Speaker 1: on to win it one oh three nineties six. Don't
Speaker 1: know if the numbers are accurate, but that might have
Speaker 1: been the most watched NBA regular season game up to
Speaker 1: that point. Twenty five million people watched that game on

Speaker 1: California joining us. Hey Cal, Yes, sir, what do you
Speaker 1: have for me? Well? Two thirty five six two Hey listen? Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: I got an idea about the NBA playoffs. I like
Speaker 1: you guys to kind of kick ground a little bit,
Speaker 1: um beings that we've missed the March madness, you know,
Speaker 1: the insanity, and the NBA is who knows what we're
Speaker 1: gonna get. But how about doing um, you know, when
Speaker 1: when they come back, maybe doing like a double elimination tournament,
Speaker 1: you know, one on one, not single elimination. If you
Speaker 1: lose you go to the Lizard bracket, but that might
Speaker 1: get some of the excitement of the march madness back
Speaker 1: and just you know, kind of kick it around, throw
Speaker 1: something different at us and see you know what kind
Speaker 1: of viewership you get. Yeah, well you're going to get
Speaker 1: viewership anyway. Cow thanks for the phone call, because you're
Speaker 1: going to have basketball back. But we'll talk to Chris Mannox.
Speaker 1: He covers the sports for Sports Illustrated, and the commissioner
Speaker 1: had some ideas yesterday. Once again, what I was told
Speaker 1: that was being at least explored or discussed. This isn't final.
Speaker 1: It was just discussed, and that is could you do
Speaker 1: the first round best of three, second round best of five,
Speaker 1: and then you do best of seven after that? You
Speaker 1: get that those first round, second round, that's pretty intense.
Speaker 1: The best of three. You're going to get people's attention
Speaker 1: there because you might get some upsets there. But I
Speaker 1: still believe the NBA is going to have playoffs this year.
Speaker 1: But right now where we are, when that could happen?
Speaker 1: When do we start basketball again? Without sounding insensitive, but
Speaker 1: you know, this is our job in the world of
Speaker 1: sports to try to discuss these things, handicap these things
Speaker 1: and the commissioner is exploring a lot of different things
Speaker 1: and he's got time to do that. He's got that's
Speaker 1: all he has is time right now. But once you
Speaker 1: know they get cleared and they're able to play, are
Speaker 1: you gonna have a five game regular season and then
Speaker 1: you're gonna start the playoffs? Are you gonna start the
Speaker 1: playoffs right away? So a few things to discuss with
Speaker 1: Chris Mannox coming up, pull up date there, mclovin, Are
Speaker 1: you with us? I think so sixty eight percent would
Speaker 1: rather watch the first four days of the tournament than
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? Okay, you know it's recency bias and
Speaker 1: the fact that we don't have any basketball this year
Speaker 1: March madness. And I was thinking about that with you know,
Speaker 1: some of these schools that had a great opportunity, like Dayton.
Speaker 1: Dayton's not a perennial power, but Dayton was going to
Speaker 1: be a number one seed, and you had Obi Toppin,
Speaker 1: who you could make a case to the best player
Speaker 1: in basketball this year. San Diego State would have been
Speaker 1: a good story there against him, East Tennessee State, Rutgers,
Speaker 1: There's a lot of teams in that I could have
Speaker 1: made things very interesting yeah. And this we say it
Speaker 1: every year. Boy, this is it. It's gonna be wide
Speaker 1: open this year. This really, this truly would have been
Speaker 1: wide open, although you know Bill self and Kansas probably
Speaker 1: say yeah, it would have been wide open as to
Speaker 1: who would play us for the national title. Leo in
Speaker 1: Kentucky joins us. Hey Leo, what's on your mind today? Hey? Dan?
Speaker 1: H five nine A wiry one fifty five um. And
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm calling from your old stomping grounds, Richmond, Kentucky.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I just in a quick quick comment, don't apologize.
Speaker 1: You guys are offering a distraction that we all need
Speaker 1: from something we all love in this so, you know,
Speaker 1: please keep up the good work. Thank you. One of
Speaker 1: the one of the things I want to add one
Speaker 1: of the best college games at all time, and I
Speaker 1: liked where you were going get away from the tournament
Speaker 1: a little bit. In twenty thirteen, U of L and
Speaker 1: Notre Dame with five overtimes in a Saturday night game.
Speaker 1: I think it was the maybe the the you know
Speaker 1: college game day game. Um, you know, Patino, it was
Speaker 1: just insane. I think it went into midnight. It was
Speaker 1: one O four to one on one Notre Dame one. Um,
Speaker 1: I was going crazy. I remember looking at my son
Speaker 1: at the time, around midnight, I said, I can't take
Speaker 1: this anymore off. It was just was really throw up. UM.
Speaker 1: My daughter was trying to sleep. It was past her
Speaker 1: bedtime and she was getting angry because I was screaming.
Speaker 1: But both teams had like fifty four rebounds each. Um.
Speaker 1: Just just an incredible game. Yeah, there have been quite
Speaker 1: a few great regular season games, thank you, Leo. But
Speaker 1: we were looking at the tournament. We were talking about
Speaker 1: the most. I think the Kentucky Duke game with Latner.
Speaker 1: That's the That's the greatest college basketball game that I've
Speaker 1: ever seen. I think the most powerful game, the most
Speaker 1: important game ever played. You go back to UCLA and
Speaker 1: Houston and that was in the Astrodome nineteen sixty eight.
Speaker 1: I believe with lu Al Sindor and Elvin haste because
Speaker 1: that was in prime time, you know, college basketball in
Speaker 1: prime time and you were playing in the Asterdome and
Speaker 1: lu Al Sendor had a scratched cornea, he had a
Speaker 1: patch over one of his eyes and he didn't play well.
Speaker 1: And Elvin Hayes was unbelievable. I think Elvin may have
Speaker 1: gone for forty four in that game, but you had
Speaker 1: Guy Lewis who could never win the big one, going
Speaker 1: against John Wooden. And it was a strange, sterile atmosphere
Speaker 1: there because you had a basketball court in the Asterdome
Speaker 1: and the fans were so far removed from the court.
Speaker 1: And also depth perception of shooting, you know, hoops in
Speaker 1: an arena like that, a stadium like that. You normally
Speaker 1: didn't have that, you know, we didn't have Mars. Madden
Speaker 1: has played in front of these big building, in these
Speaker 1: big buildings that would house a football team, you know,
Speaker 1: football stadium. But that was an important game. But I
Speaker 1: think the greatest game ever played was Duke against Kentucky.
Speaker 1: All Right, we'll take a break. Chris Bannocks will join
Speaker 1: us on loan from Sports Illustrated. We'll talk about what
Speaker 1: are the options for the NBA in coming back. Also,
Speaker 1: more of your phone calls. Got our poll question first
