WEBVTT - 12/04/20 HOUR 1- Sean Salisbury

0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480
<v Speaker 1>You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio. Welcome to the program. Made it to a Friday.

0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:10.120
<v Speaker 1>It's a meat Friday. Got the triggers all fired up.

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:13.480
<v Speaker 1>In case you want to live vicariously through us, we'll

0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:16.159
<v Speaker 1>let you know what we have on the triggers. The

0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:22.680
<v Speaker 1>official menu is the muffletta Pinwheel Stakes with a balsamic reduction. Oh,

0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 1>it's more for Fritzie and me because Paulie, mclovin and

0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Seaton are tucked away comfortably at their homes, but more

0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:34.200
<v Speaker 1>for us on this meet Friday. Todd my best friend

0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:36.160
<v Speaker 1>now and the same amount of food is being made

0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:38.200
<v Speaker 1>as if everyone was here. Yeah, it's not like they're

0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:40.440
<v Speaker 1>going to make less because there's fewer people. Know. It's

0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Todd and I and we've had so much to talk

0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:46.199
<v Speaker 1>about this morning. We've been laughing, we've been giggling. It's

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:48.199
<v Speaker 1>like the weekends already started and the rib for three

0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:50.600
<v Speaker 1>hours to do here, all right, Welcome to the program.

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Get ready for a strange weekend. By the way, when

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Coastal Carolina BYU is more relevant than Alabama and LSU,

0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 1>you know it's going to be a strange weekend. But

0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 1>I give Coastal Carolina and BYU a lot of credit

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 1>because they know that they need some help just to

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:10.480
<v Speaker 1>get the attention of the playoffs selection committee. It's not

0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 1>going to help them get into the top four, but

0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 1>they are trying and that is all you can do

0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.240
<v Speaker 1>in a situation like this. They want to get another

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:24.640
<v Speaker 1>big win, you know, one of those wins that gets

0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:27.080
<v Speaker 1>the attention of somebody here. But the fact that two

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 1>undefeated teams are going to be playing in Conway, South

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:36.479
<v Speaker 1>Carolina this weekend and it has national implications is pretty

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 1>impressive there, all right? Eight seven seven three d P

0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Show email address DP at Dan Patrick dot com, Twitter

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 1>handle at DP show. Nick Saban is back for the

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:48.680
<v Speaker 1>LSU game. LSU is almost a thirty point underdog in

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 1>this game. The NFL has reinstated Josh Gordon. It feels

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 1>like around every six or seven months, Josh Gordon gets

0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 1>reinstated and the Seahawks are going to try this one

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 1>more time. I mentioned by you at Coastal Carolina, Ohio State,

0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Michigan State is still on A and M and Auburn,

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:09.639
<v Speaker 1>Clemson and Virginia Tech. We'll have a poll question. We

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>got a play of the day we got a stat

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.440
<v Speaker 1>of the day. By the way, the final voting for

0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:17.920
<v Speaker 1>the Next Great Podcast has begun. We received nearly two

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:21.800
<v Speaker 1>thousand entries. We've narrowed it down to ten finalists. The

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:25.880
<v Speaker 1>ten finalists have just completed their pilot episode. So you

0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 1>have a chance to listen to this. You can go

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 1>to Next Great Podcast dot com. Listen to these pilot episodes.

0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:35.079
<v Speaker 1>Vote for your favorite, and I'm going to go into

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 1>business as the executive producer of the one that you do.

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Pick out. Move over, Ohio State, Michigan. Step down Auburn

0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 1>in Alabama, take us seat Texas Oklahoma. The rivalry, the

0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 1>new rivalry, the big rivalry in college football is BYU

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 1>and Coastal Carolina. One team's in Utah, the other one

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 1>is tucked away in Conway, South Carolina. You throw out

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:00.800
<v Speaker 1>the records when these two get together. They're the Cougars

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:04.160
<v Speaker 1>in the Shante Clears, all right. They've actually never played

0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 1>each other, but they have taken on the challenge and

0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 1>they're going to play each other. The game was announced yesterday.

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it has any national implications, but

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:18.080
<v Speaker 1>both teams undefeated, they're both ranked. College Football Playoff Committee

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:21.320
<v Speaker 1>hasn't given by you much love. They're down to thirteen.

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Hard to imagine that even with the win, they would

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 1>get anywhere near the final four Coastal Carolina number eighteen.

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:31.239
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's presstige here for them as fans. We

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:34.040
<v Speaker 1>get more football, which is good and a welcome addition

0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 1>to the sports weekend. Mclovin, what kind of poll question

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 1>do you have for me today? Okay, we're looking at

0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 1>the odds this morning, and we're wondering what is the

0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:48.680
<v Speaker 1>most likely upset in week thirteen, starting with actually Monday night,

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Steelers minus seven and a half hosting the Washington football team.

0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Also want to throwout Saints minus three at Atlanta. No,

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 1>that's Jams, No, nut's it? Oh okay, yeah's your pick?

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, I think it's down to two and a half.

0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:06.120
<v Speaker 1>And I said at the time, when I knew they

0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 1>were going to be facing each other two times in

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 1>the next three weeks or four weeks, that I wouldn't

0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.760
<v Speaker 1>be surprised if Atlanta won one of these games. You

0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 1>have Taysom Hill at a quarterback, and now we're going

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.279
<v Speaker 1>to find out just what kind of quarterback he is.

0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:23.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, is Atlanta able to make him a passing quarterback,

0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 1>not a running quarterback. You have the Rams at Arizona.

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 1>You know that's a three point spread, the cold said Houston.

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 1>By the way, I stumbled across some unbelievable numbers with

0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:41.039
<v Speaker 1>a couple of quarterbacks. If I, okay, here's one for you.

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Give me the NFL quarterback who has fifteen touchdown passes

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:51.040
<v Speaker 1>and zero interceptions in his last six games. Yeah, mclubb. Well,

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 1>I know who the hottest quarterback in the NFL is,

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.159
<v Speaker 1>and I imagine that's who you're talking about. Who is that,

0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Deshaun Watson. Yes, it is ding Ding Ding ding Ding. Well,

0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 1>you know because you said right after the Houston gave

0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>a big hint there. He has thrown two hundred and

0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:11.960
<v Speaker 1>ten consecutive passes without an interception. That's longest, the longest

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:15.240
<v Speaker 1>streak in the NFL this season. Let me see if

0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:17.120
<v Speaker 1>I have another one for you. Now that one's the

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.240
<v Speaker 1>big surprise. The other one have to the other ones

0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.279
<v Speaker 1>have to do with Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers. But

0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Deshaun Watson is on a terror right now, and could

0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.479
<v Speaker 1>they somehow pick up a win surprise the Colts with

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:31.680
<v Speaker 1>a game at Houston. By the way, we'll check in

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:35.760
<v Speaker 1>with Sean Salisbury, our buddy who does radio in Houston.

0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:39.039
<v Speaker 1>I'll talk to him about the whole Russell Westbrook, James Harden,

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:43.120
<v Speaker 1>John Wall come into town and you know this Houston

0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.159
<v Speaker 1>team that's playing quite well. What else do you have

0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 1>in clubbing? Okay, we got a listener email. Okay, off

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:53.360
<v Speaker 1>yesterday's dan Orlovsky thing which kind of caught fire about

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Travis Kelcey being the best non quarterback in the NFL.

0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 1>He asked, if you could have a start with one

0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:01.240
<v Speaker 1>of the skill it's his other in quarterback, would it

0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:04.840
<v Speaker 1>be great running back, great wide receiver or great tight end.

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.280
<v Speaker 1>I think in today's NFL, I would take tight end

0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:14.160
<v Speaker 1>because we've seen those tight ends become impactful and if

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 1>you do get one, then you know you're so much

0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:20.800
<v Speaker 1>more ahead of everybody else when you have somebody at

0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:23.479
<v Speaker 1>that position who's a weapon. I think I can find

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.480
<v Speaker 1>running backs and I can find wide receivers. Tight ends

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:31.560
<v Speaker 1>a little bit trickier. Is there anybody who's on the

0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:34.599
<v Speaker 1>same level, close to the same level as Kelsey and Kittle?

0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Can you think of anybody else mclovin that you like

0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Chase Clayton is not really a tight end, is he? No?

0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Darren Waller who's actually stat to fall a little bit,

0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.760
<v Speaker 1>but he's not. Those guys are so dominant. But Kittle's

0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.719
<v Speaker 1>a little hurt. He's coming back, I think, But what

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.119
<v Speaker 1>about could you make an argument like a Derreck Henry

0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:54.359
<v Speaker 1>if you get a guy who so much above everybody else,

0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 1>it depends on what your style is, you know. I

0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 1>give the Titans credit that they went all in on

0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 1>this style and they're saying that we're a run first team,

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:06.400
<v Speaker 1>a run second team, and then if we have to pass,

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.800
<v Speaker 1>then Ryan Tannehill can still use play action because the

0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 1>defenses respect Derrick Henry so much. But I can find

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 1>look at all the leaders and receptions in rushing this year,

0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 1>they're not first round draft picks. Wide receivers and running

0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:23.880
<v Speaker 1>backs are not first round draft picks. So it feels

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:27.200
<v Speaker 1>like I can find those players. I just don't know

0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:30.360
<v Speaker 1>if you can find those tight ends that make a difference.

0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:33.560
<v Speaker 1>And George Kittle and Travis Kelsey certainly make a difference.

0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:35.120
<v Speaker 1>So well, if you said I could have any of

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:38.880
<v Speaker 1>those other players wide receivers or running backs or tight ends,

0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 1>I'd take Kelsey and Kittle over all of them? Right now?

0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:46.640
<v Speaker 1>What else? McLevin? Okay, this was the pre show debate

0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:48.120
<v Speaker 1>on this side of the glass that we're not on

0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.680
<v Speaker 1>a glasses. You could only watch one game, and PAULI

0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:55.160
<v Speaker 1>said that he's very interested in Cleveland at Tennessee. OK.

0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:57.680
<v Speaker 1>My take is that that sounds good on paper, but

0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.320
<v Speaker 1>when we look at all the games lay it out,

0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure that's the one you watch. There's some

0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:06.480
<v Speaker 1>other good games, but that's the one that we were

0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.360
<v Speaker 1>arguing about. These Uh, there's Indy, Houston, as you mentioned,

0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:13.680
<v Speaker 1>New Orleans, Atlanta, Cleveland, Tennessee. So we'll see. But I'm

0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.040
<v Speaker 1>not I can't watch the Titans. Is there something wrong

0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:20.120
<v Speaker 1>with me? Well, you don't like old school football? No,

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:24.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I want to see passing. I like to

0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:27.600
<v Speaker 1>see it. When when Derrick Henry is running the way

0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.360
<v Speaker 1>you did in the playoffs last year, it brings back

0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:33.480
<v Speaker 1>memories of when running backs were the most important people

0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:36.440
<v Speaker 1>in football, and just that style. You want to talk

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.800
<v Speaker 1>about taking somebody's manhood away from them. You run the

0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:41.920
<v Speaker 1>football and then you have guys who don't want to

0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:45.200
<v Speaker 1>tackle the running back, and it just brings back memories

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Jim Brown to Earl Campbell, where you just had these

0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:53.040
<v Speaker 1>guys who you had to make a business decision when

0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.959
<v Speaker 1>they came through the hole. And Plus, what I love

0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:59.800
<v Speaker 1>about it is it's kind of counterintuitive to what everybody

0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:03.360
<v Speaker 1>is doing. And I feel like there's a place for

0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 1>that in football. If everybody's wide open, everybody's playing you know,

0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:11.480
<v Speaker 1>offensive blinded football. And here's Tennessee saying we're gonna drain

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.320
<v Speaker 1>the clock, We're gon we're gonna have sustained drives, we're

0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:17.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna run the football and therefore put pressure on you

0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.880
<v Speaker 1>when you get on the field. I like that. And

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.720
<v Speaker 1>then if you have a good defense, an opportunistic defense,

0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:26.080
<v Speaker 1>have a good you know, special teams. You know, that's

0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:28.520
<v Speaker 1>where you have, you know, a team that is marked

0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:30.800
<v Speaker 1>for success in the playoffs. And we saw that with

0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee last year. But I like seeing it, but I

0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:36.680
<v Speaker 1>only like seeing it in the fourth quarter, if that

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:39.360
<v Speaker 1>makes sense. Now when you watch it and you go, okay,

0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.600
<v Speaker 1>there's three yards, all right, there's seven yards. Uh, there's

0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 1>play action, there's four yards. Okay. It's a little dry,

0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:50.040
<v Speaker 1>but that's the way football used to be. And to

0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:53.040
<v Speaker 1>see it now and have it be successful, or at

0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 1>least it's different than I like that. I don't want

0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:59.320
<v Speaker 1>to see everybody throw for four hundred yards. I'd like

0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.840
<v Speaker 1>to see it a a little bit more level playing field.

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:04.320
<v Speaker 1>I'd like the defenses to at least have an opportunity

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:09.360
<v Speaker 1>to It feels like we've done everything we can possibly

0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.680
<v Speaker 1>do to take away whatever advantage a defensive player has,

0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Like I don't even know what is an advantage for

0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:19.760
<v Speaker 1>a defensive player right now. I don't know if we've

0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.440
<v Speaker 1>given them one in the last ten years because we're

0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 1>so intent on having numbers, having excitement, having fantasy football,

0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:31.400
<v Speaker 1>the gambling aspect of this. Everybody's adding offense here. But

0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I like what Tennessee does. But I like it in

0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:37.360
<v Speaker 1>the fourth quarter. And that's where you know, I'm watching

0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:41.280
<v Speaker 1>the Ravens and you're watching Derrick Henry and in the

0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:45.400
<v Speaker 1>overtime and I went, this is fun to watch because

0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.480
<v Speaker 1>that guy right there, everybody had the baddest guy on

0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:50.839
<v Speaker 1>the playground right or in the backyard, there was the guy.

0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.280
<v Speaker 1>You went, oh, I don't want to tackle him. That's

0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Derrick Henry. These are grown men, and it feels like

0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:00.760
<v Speaker 1>they're not all in like nobody's blowing up Derrick Henry.

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, when you think about it, even they tried to,

0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:07.839
<v Speaker 1>but they're not blowing up Derrick Henry. Yeah, Seton. It's

0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:09.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of interesting though that it took him a couple

0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.800
<v Speaker 1>of years to really hit his stride, No pun intended.

0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Is that more on Derrick Henry or the Titans figuring

0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.120
<v Speaker 1>out how to use them the right way? I always

0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:20.720
<v Speaker 1>wondered that because it felt like he was the biggest

0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:24.040
<v Speaker 1>guy on the field at times and he ran hard,

0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.800
<v Speaker 1>but then even at Alabama, he wasn't their primary starter

0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:30.280
<v Speaker 1>the whole time he was there. I think he got

0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:34.520
<v Speaker 1>into the NFL and maybe it was one of those hey,

0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:36.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm kind of finding out who I am, and then

0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:39.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, Mike Rabels finding out who he is as

0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:41.560
<v Speaker 1>well as a running back, and then they realized what

0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:45.040
<v Speaker 1>they had. They strengthened their offensive line, and you know,

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Mariota didn't work out, Tannehill came in and it

0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:51.560
<v Speaker 1>just sort of fell into place. But I don't know

0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:54.600
<v Speaker 1>if that was scripted, you know, because you look back

0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.920
<v Speaker 1>to Trent Richardson at Alabama and where you're thinking, Wow,

0:11:57.960 --> 0:11:59.800
<v Speaker 1>that guy can't miss in the NFL, and then he

0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:04.680
<v Speaker 1>did miss. I think Alabama running backs, Alabama defensive backs,

0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:07.440
<v Speaker 1>we're not quite sure how good they are when they

0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:10.360
<v Speaker 1>get to the NFL. And I think a team's going

0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:15.600
<v Speaker 1>to have that decision. With Patrick, certain who his dad

0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:17.120
<v Speaker 1>played in the NFL. I think he's going to be

0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.880
<v Speaker 1>a top ten pick. He's a defensive back with Alabama,

0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:22.600
<v Speaker 1>and I think that you know, you're thinking about running

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:26.000
<v Speaker 1>backs and you're not quite sure certainly coming out of

0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:29.320
<v Speaker 1>that program there, all right, So Sean Salisbury will join us,

0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:31.920

<v Speaker 1>have great deals for you. What else mclovin question? Oh, okay, Dan,

0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:13.560
<v Speaker 1>I just want to do a quick debunking. I'm mclov

0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:16.480
<v Speaker 1>and mclovin likes to think that the Titans don't score

0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 1>points and the Browns are a running team. Guess which

0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:21.560
<v Speaker 1>team utch matchup this weekend has the highest over under,

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.040
<v Speaker 1>which means the expects it to have the most points scored.

0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:27.160
<v Speaker 1>The Browns Texans over unders fifty four points. That's the

0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:29.920
<v Speaker 1>most in the NFL this weekend. So they do score.

0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:33.080
<v Speaker 1>The way they score is not, uh, fifty passes, but

0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:37.880
<v Speaker 1>they do score. The bunk. Okay, now you're saying the

0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:42.720
<v Speaker 1>Colts and Texans. It is a Brown Titans Brown Titans

0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:47.280
<v Speaker 1>over under is fifty four. Okay, that's Saints Falcons. Would

0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:49.280
<v Speaker 1>you think those are offensive teams? The over unders forty

0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:53.440
<v Speaker 1>five shot? I was shocked. Well, I wonder if Drew

0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Brees was healthy what the over under would be with

0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 1>the Saints. I have another question for you. Didn't you

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.160
<v Speaker 1>think the Saints would like to have a game where

0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.520
<v Speaker 1>they're down fourteen and a half to see what Taysom

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:08.319
<v Speaker 1>Hill could do just passing before they get to January.

0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:11.360
<v Speaker 1>How about it down they would like to how about

0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:16.680
<v Speaker 1>down ten? Okay, down ten? I guess my point is

0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:19.640
<v Speaker 1>if they are they confident that if Drew BRUEs was

0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.360
<v Speaker 1>not present, that they could pass their way to a

0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:24.680
<v Speaker 1>victory with Taysom Hill in the second half of a

0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:28.360
<v Speaker 1>playoff game. I don't know, because and I would say no,

0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:32.080
<v Speaker 1>But then I don't know if Baltimore is confident with

0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Lamar Jackson if they were down fourteen, and that's the

0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.520
<v Speaker 1>reigning MVP. So it's not a slight on Taysom Hill.

0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:43.920
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a quarterback who plays that style. But

0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.560
<v Speaker 1>and we don't even know if Lamar Jackson's playing Dowey mclovin.

0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if the Ravens have cleared him. Harbaugh

0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:53.360
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't comment one way or other. I mean, as a

0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:55.600
<v Speaker 1>as an Andy Dalton fan, I kind of hope he

0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:59.320
<v Speaker 1>doesn't on Monday night or Tuesday night because the Cowboys

0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:01.440
<v Speaker 1>could sneak out a win. But by way, did you

0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.480
<v Speaker 1>see your raven schedule? That's they could make a run

0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.240
<v Speaker 1>if they get healthy. But will they be healthy enough? Yeah?

0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Do you have that schedule? Because it feels like they're

0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:15.640
<v Speaker 1>going to be a ten win team, Is that enough

0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:18.480
<v Speaker 1>to get in? Probably? I mean, are you talking with

0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:22.200
<v Speaker 1>the seventeam or eighteen? I'm going seventeen because if we

0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:24.840
<v Speaker 1>were going to eighteen, we probably would have done it

0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:27.760
<v Speaker 1>this past week. But if I'm looking at just the

0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:32.960
<v Speaker 1>wildcard round projections right now, let's say that the Steelers

0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:36.520
<v Speaker 1>have that the number one seed and we'll give it

0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:40.400
<v Speaker 1>to the Saints. In the NFC, that would mean Chiefs

0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:44.760
<v Speaker 1>would be hosting the Dolphins, Colts would be hosting the Titans,

0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:48.160
<v Speaker 1>and the Bills would be hosting the Browns. In the NFC,

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Seahawks would be let's say the number two seed. They

0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:55.600
<v Speaker 1>would host Arizona, the Buccaneers would be at Green Bay

0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.560
<v Speaker 1>in a rematch, and the Rams would be at the Giants,

0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:02.960
<v Speaker 1>assuming the Giants would win the NFC East. So that's

0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:05.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, Baltimore only if you go to a sixteen

0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:10.040
<v Speaker 1>team playoff would then make the playoffs. You'd also have

0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Chicago right now would probably be the team that would

0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:16.800
<v Speaker 1>make it. If there were sixteen teams eight in the

0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:20.600
<v Speaker 1>NFC and AFC. Believe it or not, the Chicago Bears

0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:22.920
<v Speaker 1>would probably be that team that would make it. Into

0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:27.840
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs. What else mc love, Well, here's the schedule, Dallas, Cleveland,

0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:30.680
<v Speaker 1>and we didn't really know who Cleveland is. Then Jacksonville

0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Giants and Bengals to end the season. I don't know.

0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:36.000
<v Speaker 1>The Giants might be a little tricky, but the Bengals

0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.200
<v Speaker 1>and Jags, it's pretty good. How many of those games

0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:41.400
<v Speaker 1>are at home? I don't have that here? Okay, all right,

0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:45.840
<v Speaker 1>so run that down again. Dallas on Tuesday? Is that

0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:52.800
<v Speaker 1>at Dallas? Oh? Efforting? Okay, let's see. Then they have

0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland Jacksonville Giants, and since now they blew out Cleveland

0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:01.880
<v Speaker 1>earlier in the year, it's in Baltimore, Dallas this weekend,

0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:04.800
<v Speaker 1>by the way, Okay, so it's in Dallas. No, it's

0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:07.840
<v Speaker 1>in Baltimore. In Baltimore. All so, even with Robert Griffin,

0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:10.240
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna be probably be favored in that case, Robert

0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Griffin gonna be able to play. That's a great question.

0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Or what's the what was that a backup that we

0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:20.280
<v Speaker 1>love Trace McSorley. Yeah, yeah, you can't stop Trace mcshorley.

0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:22.880
<v Speaker 1>You can only up to containing one of my favorite

0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:27.680
<v Speaker 1>bars in New York City, mcsorley's. It might be the oldest.

0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Is it the oldest bar in New York? And yeah?

0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:35.119
<v Speaker 1>Is it the oldest bar in America? Yeah? Dan, I

0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:38.320
<v Speaker 1>think it's the only bar that's been continuous. There's bars

0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:41.000
<v Speaker 1>that opened earlier, but I think they've been continuous. I

0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:42.879
<v Speaker 1>had to be u. I was asked to leave there

0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:45.560
<v Speaker 1>once I got so hammered one of the bartenders or

0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:48.639
<v Speaker 1>the h the guy serving the drinks, you know, they

0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:50.399
<v Speaker 1>wear the white shirts and the ties and add the

0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:53.119
<v Speaker 1>little things, and we were all drinking really hard, and

0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:56.000
<v Speaker 1>he put his arm on me, goes, son, you're done,

0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:58.000
<v Speaker 1>and he turned up and walked me out the door.

0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:00.240
<v Speaker 1>But do you like a bouncer? Do they have nks

0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:02.920
<v Speaker 1>at mcsorley's, because I only remember they'd have these small

0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:05.200
<v Speaker 1>they weren't even pints. They were like, yeah, they look

0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:07.800
<v Speaker 1>like a and W rupier mugs. Yea, and they hold

0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:11.080
<v Speaker 1>probably about nine ounces and they just bring them in

0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:13.920
<v Speaker 1>waves at the table and then you get cheese and

0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:17.480
<v Speaker 1>onions and crackers. I think, yeah, and they have like

0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:20.280
<v Speaker 1>pretzels and stuff like, oh they do, Okay, it's a

0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:23.040
<v Speaker 1>beer bar. I went with my wife when she was

0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:26.360
<v Speaker 1>my girlfriend, and she used to go there. She went

0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:29.080
<v Speaker 1>to school in New York at NYU, and she said, oh,

0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:30.960
<v Speaker 1>we got to go to this pub. And we go

0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:34.960
<v Speaker 1>into mcsorley's and there is there's no bathroom for women.

0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:38.960
<v Speaker 1>They just had they had a bathroom, and I don't

0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:41.200
<v Speaker 1>know if they didn't used to let women in, but

0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:45.359
<v Speaker 1>it was a universal bathroom, which I had not seen

0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:49.080
<v Speaker 1>growing up in a small town in Ohio. And she

0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:51.280
<v Speaker 1>had no problem with it. She was like, all right, whatever,

0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:54.320
<v Speaker 1>and we had a grand old time at mcsorley's, like

0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:57.720
<v Speaker 1>an afternoon beer buzz. It was good, yeah, Poe, Yeah.

0:18:57.760 --> 0:18:59.880
<v Speaker 1>But it is funny though, because they did a sloppy

0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.240
<v Speaker 1>drinking beer bar. It's not like a high end Yeah,

0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:04.720
<v Speaker 1>how do you get thrown out of a sloppy drinking

0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:07.920
<v Speaker 1>beer bar? I was a sloppy But what is funny

0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:09.840
<v Speaker 1>it's there is when like tourists come in from all

0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:11.639
<v Speaker 1>of our America and they have like their kids with him,

0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:13.840
<v Speaker 1>think we're gonna see a New York attraction. It is

0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:16.560
<v Speaker 1>not for kids. It's barely for anybody. All right. Sean

0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:19.119
<v Speaker 1>Salisbury will join us coming up. We'll talk to him

0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:21.880
<v Speaker 1>about what's going on in Houston, certainly with the play

0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:25.040
<v Speaker 1>of Deshaun Watson, what's the big difference here? And also

0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:28.480
<v Speaker 1>with Russell Westbrook Junior the third wanting the fact that

0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:31.959
<v Speaker 1>James Harden goes I want it now. This is reportedly

0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:35.760
<v Speaker 1>I'd rather play with John wall So I'm rather play

0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:39.960
<v Speaker 1>with a guy coming off and Achilles surgery who hasn't

0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:44.000
<v Speaker 1>played in two years, who loves to handle the ball,

0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:48.080
<v Speaker 1>as opposed to Russell Westbrook, who is your buddy. And

0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:50.640
<v Speaker 1>you said you wanted to get rid of Chris Paul

0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:52.920
<v Speaker 1>and you wanted to bring in Russell Westbrook and that

0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:56.560
<v Speaker 1>lasted a year. So we'll talk to Sean about that.

0:19:57.080 --> 0:20:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Scott Hansen, how many episodes for the NFL Red Zone?

0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:10.640

0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:10.879
<v Speaker 1>of when they went to mcsorley's Pub. Is it the

0:22:11.000 --> 0:22:16.000
<v Speaker 1>oldest bar in America? I think it's in continue. It's

0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:18.280
<v Speaker 1>been in business since eighteen fifty four without a break.

0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:19.800
<v Speaker 1>But we're checking. Maybe we should do a field trip

0:22:19.880 --> 0:22:21.320
<v Speaker 1>day in a couple of months. Well I did do it.

0:22:21.440 --> 0:22:24.240
<v Speaker 1>I walked by it a couple of weeks ago, and

0:22:24.960 --> 0:22:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I just I didn't want to do an afternoon beer buzz,

0:22:28.119 --> 0:22:31.080
<v Speaker 1>but I was curious if how many people were in

0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:34.160
<v Speaker 1>there at mcsorley's Pub. All right, age seven seven three

<v Speaker 1>Ethan who does our stats from us Stats Inc. You

0:22:39.880 --> 0:22:46.880
<v Speaker 1>know you guys know Ethan, right. So Ethan just sent

0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:49.639
<v Speaker 1>me a note he said, we have crunched all the

0:22:49.800 --> 0:22:53.159
<v Speaker 1>numbers here and determined that it is possible, as of

0:22:53.320 --> 0:22:56.440
<v Speaker 1>this moment for the NFC East winner to have a

0:22:56.560 --> 0:23:02.160
<v Speaker 1>record of four eleven and one, which means McLevin, your

0:23:02.240 --> 0:23:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Eagles could win the NFC East going four eleven and

0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:11.320
<v Speaker 1>one and hosting a playoff game. Yes, and hosting a

0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:15.800
<v Speaker 1>playoff game. Let's bringing Sean Salisbury, the Great morning host

0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Sean Salisbury Show on Sports Talk seven nineteen in Houston.

0:23:20.400 --> 0:23:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Somebody's somebody's got to win the NFC East, right, Dad,

0:23:24.760 --> 0:23:26.840
<v Speaker 1>You're giving those dumbles out like it's a team by

0:23:26.960 --> 0:23:31.640
<v Speaker 1>quarterback Sean Salisbury's four eleven and one team makes the playoff.

0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:34.840
<v Speaker 1>It is, you know, at every one of them's got

0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:37.000
<v Speaker 1>something to like, but a lot of them got something

0:23:37.040 --> 0:23:40.760
<v Speaker 1>to hate and a whole lot to dislike. I and

0:23:41.000 --> 0:23:44.080
<v Speaker 1>I know, uh mcloven is loving it the fact that

0:23:44.520 --> 0:23:46.720
<v Speaker 1>his team could very well, like you said, host a

0:23:46.800 --> 0:23:50.200
<v Speaker 1>playoff game. But I my gut tells me just a

0:23:50.320 --> 0:23:54.400
<v Speaker 1>hunch that they'll be an early out. Okay, just a hunch,

0:23:54.480 --> 0:23:56.680
<v Speaker 1>I know. But it's always weird like that, Sean, where

0:23:56.800 --> 0:23:59.960
<v Speaker 1>we go that team somebody who's gonna have ten wins

0:24:00.480 --> 0:24:02.480
<v Speaker 1>and be on the road in the playoffs to face

0:24:02.840 --> 0:24:06.159
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles or the Giants, or Washington, Dallas, whoever it

0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:09.280
<v Speaker 1>might be. And strange things happen when you get to

0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:13.000
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs because that team that struggled just to make

0:24:13.080 --> 0:24:15.720
<v Speaker 1>it to the playoffs, as opposed to that team that goes, okay,

0:24:16.080 --> 0:24:18.879
<v Speaker 1>we're going to be a wildcard team, and you know

0:24:19.000 --> 0:24:22.240
<v Speaker 1>those those teams are dangerous. It's like Seattle many years

0:24:22.280 --> 0:24:24.359
<v Speaker 1>ago when New Orleans had to go to Seattle and

0:24:24.400 --> 0:24:27.679
<v Speaker 1>Seattle one with a seven and nine record. That's exactly right.

0:24:27.760 --> 0:24:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Why I now remember there was talk all over the country,

0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:32.320
<v Speaker 1>how in the world do we recede? We got to

0:24:32.359 --> 0:24:36.520
<v Speaker 1>start to change this. We can't have the Seattle Seahawks

0:24:36.640 --> 0:24:38.720
<v Speaker 1>host the game. But and Dan, it is because you

0:24:38.800 --> 0:24:41.000
<v Speaker 1>get to the point it's like that injury or when

0:24:41.000 --> 0:24:43.639
<v Speaker 1>we saw that, you know, the Jordan situation when he

0:24:43.760 --> 0:24:46.439
<v Speaker 1>was not feeling well. You kind of take pressure off

0:24:46.480 --> 0:24:49.040
<v Speaker 1>yourself because nobody expects you to win. Think about a

0:24:49.080 --> 0:24:52.120
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia or the Giants are hosting a playoff game. Everybody

0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:54.520
<v Speaker 1>in the world's gonna say Vegas, They're gonna put the

0:24:54.560 --> 0:24:56.480
<v Speaker 1>line out there. So as a player, you kind of

0:24:56.680 --> 0:24:58.800
<v Speaker 1>take pressure off, you let it rip, you cut it loose,

0:24:58.840 --> 0:25:02.400
<v Speaker 1>because everything's a bonus, and then they do become dangerous.

0:25:02.640 --> 0:25:04.520
<v Speaker 1>And they've been under that struggle all years, so they

0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:06.960
<v Speaker 1>know what adversity looks like. And then they have a

0:25:07.080 --> 0:25:09.639
<v Speaker 1>chance to overcome it. And you never let a team

0:25:10.119 --> 0:25:12.360
<v Speaker 1>hang around, and teams like that that hang around late

0:25:12.400 --> 0:25:14.320
<v Speaker 1>in the third quarter in the fourth quarter, then all

0:25:14.359 --> 0:25:16.640
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden the favorite starts to look around, say

0:25:17.000 --> 0:25:19.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe we're not that good, and you end up losing,

0:25:19.320 --> 0:25:21.160
<v Speaker 1>and it does happen, and you're right. That's seven and nine.

0:25:21.200 --> 0:25:25.119
<v Speaker 1>Seattle team took care of their business at home against

0:25:25.200 --> 0:25:27.720
<v Speaker 1>New Orleans. And also the difference though this year is

0:25:27.800 --> 0:25:30.159
<v Speaker 1>there really is no home field advantage, so that'll be

0:25:30.280 --> 0:25:33.600
<v Speaker 1>beneficial for the team traveling. Why does the national media

0:25:33.760 --> 0:25:42.080
<v Speaker 1>fascinated with Carson Wentz? Good guy, not a self promoter.

0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:45.199
<v Speaker 1>I I was thinking about this the other day, Dan,

0:25:45.560 --> 0:25:48.920
<v Speaker 1>if any other quarterback or most should I say, they'd

0:25:48.960 --> 0:25:51.520
<v Speaker 1>be well, he wouldn't be playing most of the time. Now,

0:25:51.600 --> 0:25:53.919
<v Speaker 1>the fact that they have a backup who's a rookie

0:25:54.280 --> 0:25:56.760
<v Speaker 1>who we know as a winner, but you paid him

0:25:56.800 --> 0:25:59.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot and Carson doesn't really bother anybody, then what's

0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:02.200
<v Speaker 1>out to like? He came in as the underdog. Remember,

0:26:02.280 --> 0:26:04.320
<v Speaker 1>even though he's a high draft pick, comes out of

0:26:04.359 --> 0:26:07.040
<v Speaker 1>North Dakota State, so he's kind of like, Oh, small

0:26:07.080 --> 0:26:09.440
<v Speaker 1>school guys, you kind of root for that, but you

0:26:09.520 --> 0:26:15.680
<v Speaker 1>know you're hurt. Well, why would the you know you

0:26:15.760 --> 0:26:18.760
<v Speaker 1>got the Redskins or the Washington football team. Now you

0:26:18.840 --> 0:26:22.280
<v Speaker 1>take Robert Griffin and Deshannah. You know Mike liked Kirk

0:26:22.359 --> 0:26:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Cousins as well. Ain't nothing wrong with that. We draft

0:26:24.560 --> 0:26:26.760
<v Speaker 1>two linemen, Why the hell can't we draft two quarterbacks?

0:26:26.840 --> 0:26:31.800
<v Speaker 1>So to me, it's a right Dan. I'll tell you why,

0:26:32.320 --> 0:26:34.239
<v Speaker 1>because that ought to tell you how they feel about him.

0:26:34.240 --> 0:26:36.040
<v Speaker 1>They didn't draft him to move him to slot or

0:26:36.119 --> 0:26:39.000
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver or running back. Jalen hurts as a quarterback,

0:26:39.040 --> 0:26:41.679
<v Speaker 1>and I think he proved by going to Lincoln Riley

0:26:42.320 --> 0:26:44.800
<v Speaker 1>that oh we know he's a winner. It's Alabama under

0:26:44.840 --> 0:26:47.840
<v Speaker 1>the Sabing umbrella. Well he goes to Lincoln Riley and boom,

0:26:48.080 --> 0:26:50.480
<v Speaker 1>he proves that he can still win and still throw it.

0:26:50.800 --> 0:26:52.919
<v Speaker 1>I actually love the draft pick because it's either going

0:26:52.960 --> 0:26:55.600
<v Speaker 1>to bring out the best in Carson Wentz or unfortunately,

0:26:56.240 --> 0:26:58.400
<v Speaker 1>whether it's Jalen Hurts or not bringing out the worst.

0:26:58.440 --> 0:27:01.080
<v Speaker 1>I didn't think Carson's a good guy people root for,

0:27:01.560 --> 0:27:05.840
<v Speaker 1>but he's playing missing easy throws. The mechanics are horrendous,

0:27:06.359 --> 0:27:08.520
<v Speaker 1>and it seems to me like he's always a split

0:27:08.600 --> 0:27:10.680
<v Speaker 1>second late. And when you're pulling when you're not pulling

0:27:10.720 --> 0:27:13.240
<v Speaker 1>the trigger on open throws, then that's a problem. I

0:27:13.320 --> 0:27:15.879
<v Speaker 1>will not be shocked if this continues, that if Jalen

0:27:15.960 --> 0:27:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Hurts doesn't get legitimate run And I'm root for Carson

0:27:18.680 --> 0:27:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Wentz like everybody else does, but he's not above criticism.

0:27:21.520 --> 0:27:23.399
<v Speaker 1>He is not playing good football. Would you rather have

0:27:23.480 --> 0:27:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Baker Mayfield or Carson Wentz right now? Right now, the

0:27:28.119 --> 0:27:29.639
<v Speaker 1>way it play, it's not even close. You'd rather have

0:27:29.840 --> 0:27:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Baker Mayfield. Now, if you told me Sean, Carson Wentz

0:27:33.920 --> 0:27:36.960
<v Speaker 1>is going to get that swagger or that feelback that

0:27:37.040 --> 0:27:38.639
<v Speaker 1>he had when he got hurt when they went to

0:27:38.720 --> 0:27:41.680
<v Speaker 1>the Super Bowl, that I'm gonna get that Carson Wentz, well,

0:27:41.920 --> 0:27:44.879
<v Speaker 1>then I'm taking that Carson Wentz. But Dan, sometimes you

0:27:45.000 --> 0:27:47.879
<v Speaker 1>hit the yips, like you know, whether it's putting or

0:27:47.880 --> 0:27:50.040
<v Speaker 1>whether it's throwing the football or me. When you have

0:27:50.080 --> 0:27:52.359
<v Speaker 1>the yips in an entire ten year career that you

0:27:52.440 --> 0:27:55.280
<v Speaker 1>just try to fight through it, right is it's hard

0:27:55.320 --> 0:27:59.520
<v Speaker 1>to overcome. And he's in a very difficult, intelligent, passionate

0:27:59.560 --> 0:28:02.320
<v Speaker 1>football town, and when that stuff starts to creep in,

0:28:02.400 --> 0:28:04.120
<v Speaker 1>it's tough to get it out. Regardless of what he says,

0:28:04.160 --> 0:28:06.720
<v Speaker 1>he's not bothered by the trade talk. No human being

0:28:06.840 --> 0:28:10.200
<v Speaker 1>can't be bothered. So I personally today I want Baker

0:28:10.240 --> 0:28:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Mayfield because he's got a winning team. He's starting to

0:28:12.480 --> 0:28:14.280
<v Speaker 1>feel it. If you told me I was going to

0:28:14.320 --> 0:28:16.320
<v Speaker 1>get the old Carson Wentz, well I'm taking the old

0:28:16.359 --> 0:28:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Carson Wentz right now. It's an old brainer. I'm not

0:28:18.480 --> 0:28:20.680
<v Speaker 1>sure I'm not taking Jalen Hurts over Carson Wentz the

0:28:20.720 --> 0:28:23.760
<v Speaker 1>way he's playing right now. Sean Salisbury Morning host of

0:28:24.040 --> 0:28:27.480
<v Speaker 1>The Sean Salisbury Show and Sports Talk seven ninety in Houston, course,

0:28:27.600 --> 0:28:31.480
<v Speaker 1>former NFL quarterback, What is the difference with Deshaun Watson

0:28:31.520 --> 0:28:35.040
<v Speaker 1>in the last six games? A big part of the

0:28:35.160 --> 0:28:37.000
<v Speaker 1>question going in for me, Dan and I think a

0:28:37.080 --> 0:28:39.360
<v Speaker 1>lot of people wondered, what will Deshaun Watson do when

0:28:39.400 --> 0:28:42.000
<v Speaker 1>he loses the crutch to lean on in DeAndre Hopkins. Well,

0:28:42.000 --> 0:28:44.240
<v Speaker 1>we've seen it. Their passing offense has not suffered. A

0:28:44.240 --> 0:28:46.880
<v Speaker 1>matter of fact, he's gotten better. I always had a

0:28:46.960 --> 0:28:50.480
<v Speaker 1>problem with him. Enormous talent, great player, the hero syndrome

0:28:50.920 --> 0:28:54.120
<v Speaker 1>that he wasn't willing not to make every play and

0:28:54.280 --> 0:28:57.480
<v Speaker 1>the best quarterbacks I've ever been around, no win thrown

0:28:57.560 --> 0:28:59.360
<v Speaker 1>out of the back of the end zone when not

0:28:59.440 --> 0:29:00.920
<v Speaker 1>to take us act Now. I don't want to teach

0:29:01.000 --> 0:29:03.280
<v Speaker 1>the hero part out of him, but the last two

0:29:03.280 --> 0:29:05.400
<v Speaker 1>weeks I've watched him one time in two weeks ago

0:29:05.440 --> 0:29:07.680
<v Speaker 1>in the red zone, scrambles out not there, throws it

0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:09.320
<v Speaker 1>out of the back of the end zone. The Watson

0:29:09.360 --> 0:29:10.719
<v Speaker 1>I saw in the past would have tried to make

0:29:10.760 --> 0:29:13.520
<v Speaker 1>some spectacular play, and he's used to two or three

0:29:13.640 --> 0:29:15.520
<v Speaker 1>clunkers a year where it's like, what are you thinking.

0:29:15.720 --> 0:29:18.719
<v Speaker 1>He hasn't had one of those this year. The distribution

0:29:18.760 --> 0:29:21.360
<v Speaker 1>of the football. I think he's confident with Tim Kelly,

0:29:21.680 --> 0:29:23.360
<v Speaker 1>and this is not a team when they're not playing well.

0:29:23.400 --> 0:29:26.720
<v Speaker 1>If their situation was resversed and they were seven and four,

0:29:27.320 --> 0:29:29.640
<v Speaker 1>he'd be in the MVP talk. He's having a marvelous year,

0:29:29.800 --> 0:29:32.440
<v Speaker 1>but it's his ability to know when to throw it away.

0:29:32.680 --> 0:29:36.200
<v Speaker 1>He's making the simple play. The big home run. Dan

0:29:36.320 --> 0:29:39.080
<v Speaker 1>the the you know, the Grand Slams always here. He's

0:29:39.200 --> 0:29:41.840
<v Speaker 1>learning better how to hit singles, the flats open, get

0:29:41.840 --> 0:29:44.080
<v Speaker 1>it out now, don't pass up an open receiver to

0:29:44.160 --> 0:29:45.960
<v Speaker 1>a hope that you've got a home run. And in

0:29:46.040 --> 0:29:49.720
<v Speaker 1>the process of his unbelievable ability, the home run's coming.

0:29:49.800 --> 0:29:52.240
<v Speaker 1>So and they pushed the ball down the field and

0:29:52.360 --> 0:29:56.680
<v Speaker 1>he's taken calculated smart chances and he's maturing good. Gracious,

0:29:56.720 --> 0:30:00.680
<v Speaker 1>he's had another coordinator, so he's star to settle into

0:30:00.720 --> 0:30:02.800
<v Speaker 1>the position on a team that isn't real good, and

0:30:02.800 --> 0:30:04.520
<v Speaker 1>they're allowing him to set his feat because even though

0:30:04.520 --> 0:30:06.840
<v Speaker 1>they don't run it well, the offensive line does pass

0:30:06.920 --> 0:30:09.360
<v Speaker 1>protect well. He is he's going to be an MVP

0:30:09.520 --> 0:30:12.320
<v Speaker 1>guy for a long time, and he makes people around

0:30:12.400 --> 0:30:15.240
<v Speaker 1>him better. And he's also making himself better by knowing

0:30:15.320 --> 0:30:16.840
<v Speaker 1>when to throw the ball away and that you can't

0:30:16.920 --> 0:30:19.720
<v Speaker 1>make every play. And I wonder, and I've always felt

0:30:19.760 --> 0:30:21.400
<v Speaker 1>that he held onto the ball too long, and you're

0:30:21.760 --> 0:30:26.520
<v Speaker 1>question yea and the smart ones, you know, they get

0:30:26.600 --> 0:30:29.840
<v Speaker 1>the ball away to live to see another day. But

0:30:29.960 --> 0:30:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm also curious, has Eric b enemy like it felt

0:30:34.360 --> 0:30:38.680
<v Speaker 1>like Romeo Cornell might get this job somehow, because you know,

0:30:38.920 --> 0:30:41.480
<v Speaker 1>during this pandemic and trying to get candidates in and

0:30:41.640 --> 0:30:45.000
<v Speaker 1>whatever it might be. If you're Eric B Enemy and

0:30:45.200 --> 0:30:48.560
<v Speaker 1>you know Houston's open, the Jets probably is going to

0:30:48.640 --> 0:30:51.200
<v Speaker 1>be open, Maybe the Bears will be open. I mean

0:30:51.240 --> 0:30:53.760
<v Speaker 1>it's probably going to be four or five openings here.

0:30:54.160 --> 0:30:56.280
<v Speaker 1>If Eric B Enemy is who we think he is,

0:30:56.640 --> 0:31:00.320
<v Speaker 1>offensive minded, would you rather go with Deshaun Watson with

0:31:00.480 --> 0:31:03.400
<v Speaker 1>what you've seen or go to the Jets with you

0:31:03.520 --> 0:31:05.840
<v Speaker 1>know you're gonna get Trevor Lawrence? Would you go to

0:31:06.000 --> 0:31:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Jacksonville with Justin Fields? Would you go to Chicago with whoever?

0:31:11.320 --> 0:31:15.640
<v Speaker 1>I always want the proven, elite quarterback that's young as

0:31:15.680 --> 0:31:18.120
<v Speaker 1>opposed to the what might be. Remember Sam Donald was

0:31:18.160 --> 0:31:22.240
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be that guy, and unfortunately he's been coached poorly.

0:31:22.800 --> 0:31:25.000
<v Speaker 1>So while Trevor Lawrence is what we call a what

0:31:25.240 --> 0:31:27.719
<v Speaker 1>generational it seems like every year though a generational guy

0:31:27.920 --> 0:31:31.400
<v Speaker 1>no matter how is Sam Darnold coach poorly? I mean

0:31:31.480 --> 0:31:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Adam Gays came out and said, look, I made a mistake.

0:31:34.400 --> 0:31:35.840
<v Speaker 1>How do you I don't like the way they go

0:31:35.880 --> 0:31:38.200
<v Speaker 1>about their business offensively, play calling. I just don't I

0:31:38.240 --> 0:31:40.479
<v Speaker 1>could get Dan wed for if we were sitting at

0:31:40.520 --> 0:31:42.560
<v Speaker 1>a show in an hour and we could talk about it,

0:31:42.920 --> 0:31:45.080
<v Speaker 1>I just and I'll tell you what. Let's face facts.

0:31:45.160 --> 0:31:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Darnold's not above this criticism. He forces too many balls.

0:31:48.360 --> 0:31:50.840
<v Speaker 1>And part of being a great quarterback. And you mentioned

0:31:51.320 --> 0:31:54.240
<v Speaker 1>like in Mahomes and Rodgers and Watson hold the ball

0:31:54.240 --> 0:31:56.360
<v Speaker 1>to him. Those great ones throw the ball away and

0:31:56.480 --> 0:31:59.240
<v Speaker 1>no whin not to take a sack. Darnold's idea is

0:31:59.320 --> 0:32:01.360
<v Speaker 1>my arm so good, I'll just hey, we're on oh

0:32:01.400 --> 0:32:02.920
<v Speaker 1>and eleven, let me take another shot. And he did

0:32:02.960 --> 0:32:05.360
<v Speaker 1>it at SC. He just had better players at SC

0:32:05.480 --> 0:32:08.400
<v Speaker 1>at times. So I think coached, but I don't think

0:32:08.560 --> 0:32:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Arnold's made the progress. And say, look at Lamar Jackson's

0:32:11.200 --> 0:32:14.080
<v Speaker 1>growth before this year, look at what Josh Allen's done.

0:32:14.440 --> 0:32:17.200
<v Speaker 1>So coaching does matter, but you've got to process the information.

0:32:17.280 --> 0:32:20.800
<v Speaker 1>But back to if I'm Derek b Enemy, I always

0:32:20.880 --> 0:32:22.600
<v Speaker 1>take I don't want to take, well, what if Trevor

0:32:22.720 --> 0:32:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Lawrence is good? Well, what if and he may be spectacular?

0:32:26.360 --> 0:32:28.640
<v Speaker 1>Or what if you know Fields is spectacular? I got

0:32:28.720 --> 0:32:31.239
<v Speaker 1>a twenty five year old making forty million bucks are

0:32:31.280 --> 0:32:33.680
<v Speaker 1>close to it a year who's on a bad football

0:32:33.760 --> 0:32:36.440
<v Speaker 1>team that Loadsjo on his shoulders has proven it. He's

0:32:36.440 --> 0:32:40.840
<v Speaker 1>got national championship that type of DNA and everybody loved

0:32:40.840 --> 0:32:43.520
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing he can't do. Why would I? The only

0:32:43.600 --> 0:32:46.240
<v Speaker 1>thing for me is are you concerned about the consistency

0:32:46.280 --> 0:32:49.280
<v Speaker 1>and the commitment of the ownership, Because if you're just

0:32:49.360 --> 0:32:52.840
<v Speaker 1>talking quarterback, I'm not taking the one that could be.

0:32:53.280 --> 0:32:55.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm taking the one that is. And Deshaun Watson's one

0:32:55.720 --> 0:32:57.880
<v Speaker 1>of the five best at his position in the league

0:32:57.880 --> 0:33:00.440
<v Speaker 1>and he's shown it week to week, which the local

0:33:00.520 --> 0:33:04.760
<v Speaker 1>reaction to John Wall for Russell Westbrook later will move.

0:33:05.040 --> 0:33:07.239
<v Speaker 1>I think people here feel like you lost an all

0:33:07.280 --> 0:33:10.160
<v Speaker 1>around better player, but you got better as a team.

0:33:10.480 --> 0:33:13.560
<v Speaker 1>And coach Silas said yesterday Dan and his presser, and

0:33:13.640 --> 0:33:15.600
<v Speaker 1>it was I was listening to you earlier talk about

0:33:15.920 --> 0:33:17.600
<v Speaker 1>how the chemistry is gonna work, and they were talking

0:33:17.640 --> 0:33:20.040
<v Speaker 1>about fit and he said, well, it's gonna be interesting.

0:33:20.040 --> 0:33:22.120
<v Speaker 1>It'd be great when John Wall pushes the ball up

0:33:22.160 --> 0:33:24.400
<v Speaker 1>the floor like he's done in his career and gets

0:33:24.480 --> 0:33:26.200
<v Speaker 1>the ball to guys on the wing. That I'm thinking,

0:33:26.680 --> 0:33:29.280
<v Speaker 1>is James listening to this, that John Wall is gonna

0:33:29.280 --> 0:33:31.640
<v Speaker 1>be pushing it. But I think fans. We didn't want

0:33:31.680 --> 0:33:33.600
<v Speaker 1>it to change, and we know that when James wants

0:33:33.640 --> 0:33:36.400
<v Speaker 1>to change that it happens as well every year you're

0:33:36.440 --> 0:33:38.120
<v Speaker 1>on a one year contract when you're a star that

0:33:38.200 --> 0:33:41.480
<v Speaker 1>comes here. But hey, this franchise was stagnant. Getting the

0:33:41.520 --> 0:33:45.000
<v Speaker 1>playoffs wasn't enough. Why not try something difference? And there's

0:33:45.000 --> 0:33:47.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of ifs Dan, if Boogie Cousins is healthy,

0:33:47.600 --> 0:33:50.000
<v Speaker 1>if John Wall's healthy after being out two years. So

0:33:50.360 --> 0:33:52.560
<v Speaker 1>I think the fans here are ready for it, and

0:33:52.720 --> 0:33:55.200
<v Speaker 1>I think that I honestly don't think that it was

0:33:55.480 --> 0:33:57.600
<v Speaker 1>a big deal for them all. We lost Russ, It's like,

0:33:57.920 --> 0:34:00.400
<v Speaker 1>oh well, we still got James, we got new one's

0:34:00.400 --> 0:34:02.840
<v Speaker 1>got a new coach. Let's see how this one works

0:34:03.120 --> 0:34:04.959
<v Speaker 1>and we'll see what John Wall is bringing after two

0:34:05.040 --> 0:34:07.240
<v Speaker 1>years of being out. But he looks explosive in some

0:34:07.400 --> 0:34:09.759
<v Speaker 1>of his workouts, but later will move for most of

0:34:09.800 --> 0:34:13.160
<v Speaker 1>the people here. But if it's true that James Harden

0:34:13.280 --> 0:34:17.719
<v Speaker 1>preferred John Wall, can he say that you get rid

0:34:17.760 --> 0:34:20.840
<v Speaker 1>of Westbrook and then James Harden still wants out? Like

0:34:21.160 --> 0:34:23.959
<v Speaker 1>why am I don't give a damn what James Harden wants.

0:34:24.000 --> 0:34:26.120
<v Speaker 1>I have to look at what's good for the Rockets.

0:34:26.160 --> 0:34:28.600
<v Speaker 1>If James doesn't want to be there, I don't care

0:34:28.640 --> 0:34:32.160
<v Speaker 1>if you like John Wall or not. And I'm hoping

0:34:32.200 --> 0:34:35.320
<v Speaker 1>that coach Silas has this. It's one thing to you know,

0:34:36.000 --> 0:34:38.280
<v Speaker 1>we know about catering to superstars, and there's no sport

0:34:38.320 --> 0:34:41.399
<v Speaker 1>in the world that caters to their stars more than

0:34:41.600 --> 0:34:43.680
<v Speaker 1>the NBA. But I can tell you this, I'm hoping

0:34:43.719 --> 0:34:46.560
<v Speaker 1>that Silas says as he mentioned, I'll give him his space,

0:34:46.800 --> 0:34:48.800
<v Speaker 1>but we're gonna run the offense like I want to

0:34:48.880 --> 0:34:51.400
<v Speaker 1>do it, and we're gonna try to maximize everybody's I'm

0:34:51.440 --> 0:34:55.080
<v Speaker 1>with you, Dan, Nobody other than Lebron James. I'm telling you,

0:34:55.400 --> 0:34:59.399
<v Speaker 1>nobody on a professional NBA franchise has more. Poller has

0:34:59.440 --> 0:35:03.000
<v Speaker 1>had more. When the flight charter leaves to go on

0:35:03.080 --> 0:35:06.319
<v Speaker 1>a trip, then James, Harden, Lebron and James in that order.

0:35:06.400 --> 0:35:09.440
<v Speaker 1>As far as pull within their organization, well, Daryl Morey's

0:35:09.480 --> 0:35:11.840
<v Speaker 1>gone now. They haven't won an NBA title, So I

0:35:11.880 --> 0:35:14.800
<v Speaker 1>think people are starting to wear thin on great offensive player,

0:35:14.920 --> 0:35:17.959
<v Speaker 1>great player. But I don't care. Either you're either gonna

0:35:18.000 --> 0:35:20.000
<v Speaker 1>buy in or we're gonna move you. And if you

0:35:20.040 --> 0:35:21.759
<v Speaker 1>don't want to be here, I can get a bunch

0:35:21.760 --> 0:35:24.560
<v Speaker 1>of assets for you. So we'll see what James Harden

0:35:24.600 --> 0:35:27.040
<v Speaker 1>shows up. You know he's gonna score Dan, But after

0:35:27.160 --> 0:35:29.279
<v Speaker 1>a year, what is that means? John Wall's gone next year?

0:35:29.320 --> 0:35:32.239
<v Speaker 1>So it's getting to the point now where people are

0:35:32.480 --> 0:35:34.839
<v Speaker 1>growing a little tired of it because everything's James wants,

0:35:35.000 --> 0:35:38.880
<v Speaker 1>James gets. How about returning that with enjoying it, getting

0:35:38.920 --> 0:35:42.080
<v Speaker 1>in following suit and putting a ring on somebody's finger.

0:35:42.280 --> 0:35:45.320
<v Speaker 1>People here aren't sure that's gonna happen. Have a great weekend.

0:35:45.360 --> 0:35:47.680
<v Speaker 1>Always great to talk to you, buddy. Great to talk

0:35:47.719 --> 0:35:49.320
<v Speaker 1>to you too, buddy, Thank you for having me that.

0:35:49.400 --> 0:35:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Sean Salisbury, morning host to The Sean Salisbury Show Sports

0:35:52.239 --> 0:35:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Talk seven ninety in Houston. Yeah. I don't know if

0:35:55.120 --> 0:35:57.200
<v Speaker 1>James Harden gets to that point where he goes, yeah,

0:35:57.200 --> 0:36:01.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm scoring thirty every night, so what because you get

0:36:01.880 --> 0:36:04.040
<v Speaker 1>comfortable doing that, But then what do you have to

0:36:04.120 --> 0:36:06.080
<v Speaker 1>show for it when your career is all said and done?

0:36:06.160 --> 0:36:10.879
<v Speaker 1>All right, you got twenty five thousand points? What else? Nothing? Hey,

0:36:10.920 --> 0:36:13.239
<v Speaker 1>I got a sixth Man of the Year. Great, what

0:36:13.360 --> 0:36:15.440
<v Speaker 1>else do you got? And I don't know if he

0:36:15.520 --> 0:36:17.719
<v Speaker 1>comes to that realization, and maybe it's not this year.

0:36:17.840 --> 0:36:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's another year, two years where James Harden goes.

0:36:21.440 --> 0:36:23.960
<v Speaker 1>I might be the second option here, but I'd be

0:36:24.000 --> 0:36:27.680
<v Speaker 1>pretty cool to win a title. Maybe take a break.

<v Speaker 1>only nine times in that win over Utah Stick. I

0:37:46.719 --> 0:37:49.840
<v Speaker 1>got an update on mcsorley's pub in the East Village

0:37:49.960 --> 0:37:54.040
<v Speaker 1>in New York. Seaton believes it's the second oldest bar

0:37:54.280 --> 0:37:57.800
<v Speaker 1>in New York The earl Inn or is it the

0:37:57.920 --> 0:38:01.880
<v Speaker 1>ear Inn? Maybe it's the ear The ear In is

0:38:01.920 --> 0:38:03.839
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be the oldest bar in New York City.

0:38:03.880 --> 0:38:06.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure where mcsorley's falls in that, but I

0:38:06.280 --> 0:38:09.440
<v Speaker 1>think that's like the oldest Irish pub in New York.

0:38:09.600 --> 0:38:13.239
<v Speaker 1>The ear In? Is the ear In still open? I've

0:38:13.320 --> 0:38:16.359
<v Speaker 1>never it is? Yeah, yeah, and it actually it used

0:38:16.400 --> 0:38:19.120
<v Speaker 1>to be right around the corner from our studio in

0:38:19.200 --> 0:38:21.759
<v Speaker 1>New York Real. Have to say I spent many a

0:38:21.800 --> 0:38:28.560
<v Speaker 1>lunch there also down by Varick Yeah, okay, yeah, what's

0:38:28.600 --> 0:38:30.439
<v Speaker 1>the one where we used to go a lot where

0:38:30.560 --> 0:38:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Dylan Thomas died in the bathroom or something, The White Horse. Yeah,

0:38:34.719 --> 0:38:37.240
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty historical, right or is that not? Like old timey.

0:38:37.360 --> 0:38:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Just a lot of things happen, I mean, and it's

0:38:39.719 --> 0:38:41.840
<v Speaker 1>it's more of a traditional pub with you know, like

0:38:42.000 --> 0:38:43.360
<v Speaker 1>they have a little bit to eat, a little bit

0:38:43.400 --> 0:38:47.640
<v Speaker 1>to drink, and it's not raucous. Yes, do people wax

0:38:47.719 --> 0:38:51.799
<v Speaker 1>poetic about the ear in I see wax in ear?

0:38:52.040 --> 0:38:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Thank you Todd, by the way back to mcsorley's. Among

0:38:55.800 --> 0:39:02.560
<v Speaker 1>the notable people who went to mcsorley's pub, Abraham Lincoln,

0:39:03.360 --> 0:39:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Nice Ulysses s Grant Lincoln never paid his tab by

0:39:07.719 --> 0:39:10.360
<v Speaker 1>the way, you know, he started that speech and you know,

0:39:10.400 --> 0:39:14.360
<v Speaker 1>and then he would go, Okay, we get it. Teddy Roosevelt,

0:39:14.880 --> 0:39:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Hunter S Thompson, Woody Guthrie, Dustin Hoffman was a patron.

0:39:20.360 --> 0:39:23.600
<v Speaker 1>All right. It's pretty h pretty good list there. I

0:39:24.080 --> 0:39:26.879
<v Speaker 1>didn't make the list. I thought maybe i'd make the list,

0:39:26.920 --> 0:39:31.360
<v Speaker 1>but apparently not. The ear people who have played Abraham

0:39:31.440 --> 0:39:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Lincoln who have also been siling. Yes, I played Abraham

0:39:35.080 --> 0:39:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Lincoln in a Sandler movie. Two rave reviews mine. I

0:39:40.239 --> 0:39:43.319
<v Speaker 1>gave myself rave reviews. Yes, Paully, I was curious if

0:39:43.360 --> 0:39:46.160
<v Speaker 1>Todd had ever been in like an old TGA Friday's

0:39:46.239 --> 0:39:49.919
<v Speaker 1>or a classic Apple that's like with the original chili

0:39:50.000 --> 0:39:51.919
<v Speaker 1>is actually I think I went to the nineteen thirty

0:39:51.920 --> 0:39:54.200
<v Speaker 1>seven chili. It's really nice. It must gets up there,

0:39:54.440 --> 0:39:57.600
<v Speaker 1>weird thing. Thank you, Todd. All right, Michael and Iowa,

0:39:57.640 --> 0:40:02.279
<v Speaker 1>Hey Mike, what's on your mind today? Love the show

0:40:02.360 --> 0:40:05.719
<v Speaker 1>and listening for a long time, you know all this.

0:40:06.760 --> 0:40:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Derrek kind of talks every thanks about my tea, the Vikings.

0:40:09.760 --> 0:40:13.120
<v Speaker 1>And there's just no love for Dalvin Cook in the

0:40:13.200 --> 0:40:17.399
<v Speaker 1>work he's done, especially after signing your contract. Well, he's

0:40:17.440 --> 0:40:20.960
<v Speaker 1>been banged up. I do love Dalvin Cook and thought

0:40:21.040 --> 0:40:22.920
<v Speaker 1>that he was going to be leading the league and rushing.

0:40:23.040 --> 0:40:26.400
<v Speaker 1>But Derrick Henry gets a whole lot better in December.

0:40:26.760 --> 0:40:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Either that or because of the weather, those defensive players

0:40:31.160 --> 0:40:35.160
<v Speaker 1>aren't as anxious to tackle Derrick Henry. Maybe there's some

0:40:35.360 --> 0:40:38.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of correlation between those two. But Derrick Henry gets

0:40:38.120 --> 0:40:42.160
<v Speaker 1>better in December. Austin in Nashville, Hey Austin, what's on

0:40:42.200 --> 0:40:47.280
<v Speaker 1>your mind today? Hey Dan? First time, long time? Sixty

0:40:47.280 --> 0:40:52.680
<v Speaker 1>three two five. Okay, so you guys post the question

0:40:52.840 --> 0:40:56.440
<v Speaker 1>earlier about Henry's volume just kind of picking up this year.

0:40:57.120 --> 0:41:00.120
<v Speaker 1>Another hasn't been a focus on the Titans, so I

0:41:00.160 --> 0:41:02.160
<v Speaker 1>thought i'd give a brief history. You know, we had

0:41:02.239 --> 0:41:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Mariota. The Titans had five different coordinators in five years. Um,

0:41:06.760 --> 0:41:08.760
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to run the ball when Marcus is behind.

0:41:09.560 --> 0:41:12.000
<v Speaker 1>We had to Marco Murray for two years, and then

0:41:12.160 --> 0:41:15.040
<v Speaker 1>under Lafleur there was a split backfield. Under Dion Lewis.

0:41:15.520 --> 0:41:19.480
<v Speaker 1>So finally with Mike Rabel and Arthur Smith, they've committed

0:41:19.480 --> 0:41:22.080
<v Speaker 1>to run the ball. Last thing for miss nick Lovin

0:41:22.719 --> 0:41:26.720
<v Speaker 1>talking about the Titans and their offensive production. The Titans

0:41:26.760 --> 0:41:30.480
<v Speaker 1>actually ranked fifth this year in the NFL for a game,

0:41:30.600 --> 0:41:35.000
<v Speaker 1>behind Millie Pittsburgh, Tampa, and Arizona. Sucker back bro all right,

0:41:35.320 --> 0:41:41.239
<v Speaker 1>thank you. Yeah, today we have smelling salts for that

0:41:41.320 --> 0:41:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Titans call. I'm a little out of fall and I

0:41:45.800 --> 0:41:52.080
<v Speaker 1>know Arthur Smith took it from the split backfield. Oh,

0:41:53.800 --> 0:42:01.560
<v Speaker 1>I love snarky McLevin Kyle in California. Hey, Kyle ap

0:42:02.280 --> 0:42:05.320
<v Speaker 1>smelling salt reference that early. I love it. Yeah. Anyway,

0:42:05.960 --> 0:42:07.719
<v Speaker 1>I think we'll be a knife with the hardened thing.

0:42:07.920 --> 0:42:10.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean, do we really think he's seeing John wall

0:42:10.400 --> 0:42:12.000
<v Speaker 1>come in and it's like, hell, yeah, this is my

0:42:12.600 --> 0:42:16.080
<v Speaker 1>ticket to the championship. Harden's not just a star, right,

0:42:16.200 --> 0:42:18.320
<v Speaker 1>He's one of the four or five best guys in

0:42:18.400 --> 0:42:22.719
<v Speaker 1>the last ten years. It's inevitable before he sees there

0:42:22.760 --> 0:42:24.759
<v Speaker 1>they're not contending and he's got to get out. You know,

0:42:24.760 --> 0:42:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know who it is. It's not going to

0:42:26.120 --> 0:42:29.360
<v Speaker 1>be Brooklyn. Maybe you just can't give up you know,

0:42:29.719 --> 0:42:32.239
<v Speaker 1>quarters or dimes for the dollar. You know, if it's

0:42:32.360 --> 0:42:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Philly and it's Ben Simmons, I don't know. You know,

0:42:35.160 --> 0:42:38.200
<v Speaker 1>does Golden State make the big move? I just don't

0:42:38.200 --> 0:42:40.359
<v Speaker 1>see him sticking it through the ear well. I don't

0:42:40.400 --> 0:42:42.320
<v Speaker 1>think he does either, But I think he wants to

0:42:42.360 --> 0:42:45.080
<v Speaker 1>be a good soldier prior to the trade deadline. The

0:42:45.200 --> 0:42:48.160
<v Speaker 1>last thing you want is that he's creating some kind

0:42:48.200 --> 0:42:54.640
<v Speaker 1>of unrest behind the scenes or you know, there's tension, controversy,

0:42:54.719 --> 0:42:56.920
<v Speaker 1>whatever it is. And you got a brand new head coach,

0:42:57.640 --> 0:42:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Stephen Silence is your new head coach, and you're coming

0:43:00.120 --> 0:43:03.200
<v Speaker 1>into this situation. I think if you said to Stephen Silas, hey,

0:43:03.520 --> 0:43:05.520
<v Speaker 1>would you like to wipe the slate clean and try

0:43:05.560 --> 0:43:07.600
<v Speaker 1>to rebuild or do you want to go into this

0:43:07.719 --> 0:43:10.560
<v Speaker 1>season not quite sure what you have? You might want

0:43:10.600 --> 0:43:13.200
<v Speaker 1>to wipe the slate clean. But I do think James

0:43:13.280 --> 0:43:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Harden will be a good soldier prior to the trade deadline.

0:43:17.640 --> 0:43:19.000
<v Speaker 1>One hour, two more to go.
